[HICHAM COOS]
I can't imagine
why you would throw that thing at her.
I didn't mean
I didn't mean to hurt her.
I didn't think it would explode.
- A Molotov cocktail?
- [SIGHS]
[COOS]
I wanted you to love me.
I know it's dumb, but
You always loved Nathalie.
No.
It was a mission. Don't you get it?
It was my only way
to get you out of the group.
I admit, we
we weren't straight with you.
You had to believe it.
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS, CLICKS TONGUE]
What about you?
What did you want?
[SIGHS]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
- [TOY SIREN WAILING]
- [SABINE CHUCKLES]
Time to go to school, okay?
Wanna bring it?
- Yes.
- Switch it off.
In your bag, okay? Okay.
You can play with it later.
On which shoulder do you want your bag?
Left?
Okay, there you are. Come on.
Elena, are you ready?
Hey, let's say bye
through the window, okay?
And you blow me a big kiss.
So sorry, madam. He was hiding his coat.
Oh, that's fine. Come on.
- I hid it.
- [SABINE] Yes, you did.
Let's go. Off to school.
I'll grab the door.
- Have a good day, madam.
- You as well.
Say bye to Mommy. [CHUCKLES] Bye-bye.
I'll wait for you by the window.
[SIGHS]
All right, off to school.
Watch your step, okay?
There. A tiger.
Do you see the tiger there?
Look. It's Daddy. And what does he have?
A big fluffy tiger.
- Look at that.
- It's for you.
You like it? Really? Come.
[PIERRE LAUGHS]
- My driver will drop you off at school.
- Very well, sir. Thank you.
- Do you want me to hold it? Okay.
- [PIERRE GIGGLES]
[SIREN WAILING]
Pierre! Pierre!
Elena!
Elena!
[SIREN CONTINUES WAILING]
Didier!
Pierre! Pierre!
What are you doing? Where is he going?
- A little trip to the beach.
- Alone?
With his nanny.
Relax. It's just for the day.
The two of us are going to London.
You'll never get my codes, Didier.
Never.
That was before I took Pierre
to the beach.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
I'm okay.
[GASPS]
So you want to tell me what happened?
I will.
Where's Kim?
Oh, she's gone back to her mother's.
It's not exactly the
[HICHAM COOS]
Alison.
Samir, Myriam, Albert.
Hey.
What the hell is he doing here?
- Can you call Richard?
- Answer me.
Albert, this is not the time.
They're freezing cold.
Their baby needs changing.
And it's not safe for us here.
Take them to our room.
Thank you.
- [MYRIAM] Oh!
- [GIGGLES]
[ALBERT] How about these?
- Yeah, that's great. Thank you.
- Yeah.
[ALISON] Here.
This might work for the moment.
Thank you.

["TEARDROP" PLAYING ON RECORD PLAYER]
[SIGHS]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
- [RECORD SCRATCHES]
- [MUSIC STOPS]
So that's why you left me back then?
To steal my records?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
What you doing?
Get the fuck out of my
[GROANS]
[ALISON] Stop! Gabriel!
Gabriel, stop!
I'm tired of you!
- Tired! You hear me?
- Don't. It's
After 20 years,
I still can't get rid of you! So just go!
Just leave! Get out!
Get out!
[IN ARABIC] May God protect you.
[CAR DOORS CLOSING]
[SIGHS, SNIFFLES]
[GUARD] Keep the roads clear.
[GUARD SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
How did you get back in?
I had men stationed
on every beach in Kent.
Didn't go as planned.
[SIGHS]
[ALISON] Antropa's attack plans.
It's protected, but Samir can open it.
How did you manage to get him back?
Delage.
The French were afraid
we wouldn't make it, so he came along.
The French?
DGSE. They made a copy of the key.
Are you serious?
You allowed the French
to have access to this?
They told me we had a mole.
Someone inside our government
is working with Antropa.
Who?
They don't know.
But we have Samir.
He said he'd help with everything.
[RICHARD] What does he want?
Security.
I can provide that.
[ALISON] There's one more thing
the DGSE made me promise.
What did you say to Antropa?
I'm not allowed access to important files.
- I only have limited access, that's all.
- Stop bullshitting me.
Any point of entry
into the European shield will be enough.
How could you mix up your son
in this fucking mess?
I'm calling Pierre. Right away.
[VIDEO CALL RINGING]
- [ELENA] It's Mommy.
- [PIERRE] Mommy!
- My love. Are you okay?
- [PIERRE] Mommy!
- Hello!
- Hi, Mommy!
Hi, Mommy!
Are you okay?
- [PIERRE] Yes.
- We have to go now.
Love you, kiddo.
- [PIERRE] Bye!
- Bye!
- Thank you, madam. Okay
- Bye!
Who was that?
Didier, who is that man
with Elena and Pierre? Answer me.
A guardian angel.
You're a monster.
Spoke to your father.
- How is he?
- He's better. He's been worried about you.
I'm sorry about the French, Richard.
- I really didn't have a choice.
- I know.
I know.
You did great.
[CHATTERING]
Ms. Saint Roch.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Dumas is the one you should thank.
It was his idea to put a spyware
on Sabine's computer.
This man works for you?
On this operation, yes.
These documents authorize us
to deport Louseau and Taraud.
Taraud is very close to our president.
We can't risk a public arrest.
I've just spotted him and Louseau
entering the Antropa headquarters.
Got a tap on their phones.
They're currently here.
According to our intel,
they've stepped up security,
and the French CEO, Francis Miller,
is flying in tonight.
Who's that?
[HOBBS] Bob Foret.
He's the one who's organized the meeting.
So what's the plan?
We want the mole. At a meeting like this,
it's likely they'll show up too.
So, in other words,
they're not gonna do anything.
So, you won't make a move
before they show up?
We'll only get one shot at this.
Under no circumstance
are you to intervene.
Do you understand?
[SOPHIE] Of course.
We're not done with this shit, are we?
This is bullshit.
That Hobbs girl is too green.
Her first big op,
she's afraid to screw it up.
And it's clear she doesn't give a shit
about Taraud.
He's gonna get away.
Okay.
Get your equipment and head out.
You want me to exfiltrate Taraud now?
[SIGHS]
And what do we tell the Brits?
Nothing.
Get inside Antropa. Scope it out.
Keep Taraud under surveillance.
As soon as there's an opening,
we'll grab him.
[SOPHIE] We've got your back,
no matter what.
Yeah.
We won't see you again?
You'll be happy here.
I promise.
Goodbye.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[MYRIAM, SAMIR GIGGLING]
[MYRIAM, SAMIR COOING]
[SAMIR GIGGLES]
Did you sleep with him?
No.
Then why didn't you ever tell me
about him?
Because I'm not a good person.
I tried to be,
for you.
I really did.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Anyway, I'll leave.
Don't do that.
Don't cut me out.
You know I love you.
You can't love me.
[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]
We are delighted to welcome you,
Mr. Miller.
This way.
I have some bad news, Bob.
- We can't salvage Antropa.
- What? But we're about to sign.
No. My contact called me.
- The Brits are unable to sign with us.
- But why?
Because, unlike you,
the DGSE found the flash drive.
They even made a copy.
Antropa's name is all over it.
On every attack, every counterattack,
every solution we've sold for a decade.
We have 24 hours
to liquidate our assets and disappear.
And me? Huh?
What about me? What happens to me?
You? Well, you might go to prison, Bob.
Your only option is to retire
to some far-off island.
As soon as we are done with Taraud,
you are leaving with me.
This was all for nothing?
No, no. Come on,
don't be such a pessimist.
We're transferring our assets
to a new corporate entity.
The Brits in the end will sign with us.
They just won't really know it.
And with those EU codes,
our future is secure.
[BOB] You're keeping him on?
No. He's He's done.
But I'm not gonna tell him
until he's kept all his promises.
And I'm sure you know
how to transfer our assets
in the most expeditious
and discreet manner possible.
You'll remain in charge up until the end.
I'm counting on you, Bob.
Sure. Count on me.
[CELL PHONE BUZZING]
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS, SNIFFLES]
[SIGHS]
Richard.
[RICHARD] Did you get some rest?
Yeah. Thanks.
Thought you might want to know
Hobbs has got Antropa
under surveillance.
But we're gonna wait for the mole
before moving in.
[ALISON] Okay, I'll come in.
Meet me at the office.
Shahina's there with the lawyers.
We're going to nail these bastards.
On my way.
I'll be back as quick as I can.
What can I do to help?
No, no. I I don't want you caught up
in any of this.
Darling, look
I guess we should postpone
the beach wedding, huh?
[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]
- [IGNITION BUTTON CLICKS]
- [CAR BEEPS]
[CLICKING, BEEPING CONTINUE]
[SIGHS]
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
[TYPING]
- The Home Office, please.
- Certainly, ma'am.
- [KEY CARD READER BEEPS]
- [DOOR OPENS]
[MILLER] Let's go.
I imagine Mrs Louseau wants to get back
to Brussels as soon as possible
to be with her little boy.
- Am I right?
- Absolutely.
- Ready?
- [MILLER] Let's not waste any time.
[TYPING]
[TYPING]
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
- All right, I'm leaving.
- [ALERT BEEPS]
Wait. We have a problem.
Miss Louseau just activated an alert
to the European Commission.
How?
That code she entered let them know
she was acting under duress.
Did you stop it?
Yes, but we have to start again
from scratch with a clean computer.
This one's been tagged.
- Take her.
- Go with him.
Let me go!
- Didier, don't do this.
- Stop. You're embarrassing me.
I don't give a shit!
Let me talk to them.
I'll catch up with you.
- Didier.
- Go ahead.
Didier.
You can't do this!
Didier.
Let me go! Don't touch me!
All right. It's okay. She'll calm down.
Of course.
Found a way in.
[DUMAS] Are you sure?
[CLEARS THROAT]
- [CLICKS]
- [CAMERA SHUTS DOWN]
[DUMAS] All right. Take what we need
and get out of there quick. Got it?
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[KEY CARD READER BEEPS]
[KEY CARD READER BEEPS]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
Excuse me.
The Home Office is in the other direction.
Hey.
Can you hear me?
- Hey!
- [DEVICE BEEPING]
[BEEPING CONTINUES]
Fuck.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS, SIGHS]
The phone.
[CELL PHONE SHATTERS]
They're moving all their equipment out.
[DUMAS] You gotta be kidding me.
Tell the Brits to move their asses.
In two hours, they'll all be gone.
Guys, I think we have the mole.
It's Alison Rowdy.
She just drove into Antropa.
So are we good to go?
I need to call the minister first.
[SIGHS]
- [LINE RINGING]
- Gabriel?
Hold on a sec.
It's Sabine.
No sign of Taraud.
[DUMAS] No, forget about Sabine.
What? Just leave her hanging?
Listen. Listen to me. You're never
gonna guess who just got here.
- Who?
- Alison.
No way.
No doubt about it. She's the one
feeding information to Antropa.
Looks like she fucked
you over once again.
What is she doing here?
[HAMMER COCKS]
Don't move.
What are you doing here?
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
No, we lost contact.
- [KEY CARD READER BEEPS]

Nobody.
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING]
Answer me, fucker.
How did you get in here?
[TECHNICIAN] Okay. We're in.
I want to see Mr. Taraud. Now.
We'll walk you back.
Mr. Hamza, your wife and son
are waiting for you downstairs.
- [KEY CARD READER BEEPS]
- [DOOR OPENS]
Yes, thank you.
Mmm.
- [CELL PHONE BEEPS]
- It worked.
Bravo, Didier.
Hell of a performance.
And Sabine?
Sabine is on her way back to Brussels.
[DOG PANTING]
Where are we going?
Where they can kill us.

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]
What am I doing here?
We're taking you on a trip, Ms. Rowdy.
Where?
Why?
Well, you're now Antropa's
mole in the UK government.
Nobody will believe that.
The police have proof of your betrayal.
And more will be found
after you disappear.
Charges will be pressed,
an international warrant
put out for your arrest,
but you will never be found.
Everyone will think you've
changed your identity
and eventually
you will just be forgotten.
- [KEYPAD BEEPS]
- [DOOR OPENS]
[THUG] Get in there. Come on.
[WHISPERS] There's a problem.
There's a problem
downstairs. I'm out of here.
I was told that you're French?
Depends.

Still not picking up. Something's wrong.
Okay. I will tell the
Brits that Delage is there.
But they won't be happy.

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Alison?
I'm by the river outside
Antropa. They're getting away.
Okay, Alison
We have to switch to the encrypted

Ms. Rowdy, the minister
would like to see you.
This way.
[OFFICER 2] Out of the way,
please. Let them through.
Ms. Rowdy.
[SIGHS]
You okay?
I had to do it, Alison.
I had to.
Why?
Did they not pay you enough?
If it was about money,
they'd still be alive.
I will work with anyone who best
serves the interests of this country,
and I will eliminate
them when they don't.
It's pretty simple.
History of the British
fucking Empire, really.
And how did that go?
[CHUCKLES]
They always underestimate you.
And you don't?
No. Never.
I've seen the video.
Would you join me?
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
Will you have me killed if I don't?
No.
[HICHAM CRYING]
[MYRIAM GASPS]
[OFFICER] Here you
are. Yeah, she's fine.
Come on. Take care of yourself.
You're gonna be all
right, don't you worry.
