Previously on Professionals.
-What the hell is wrong with you?
-What's wrong with me?
My sister Zora is sharpening
a knife with my name on it.
Grace is in Congo.
She's been taken.
Kidnapped. She's in a bad spot.
-You shouldn't go.
-Shut up. Do your job.
Local operators will meet us there.
-Your client.
-I'm Kolo.
Saif is a gangster.
His sanctuary is in the forest.
Where can we find it?
This is Djamba. They kidnapped
his sister after Grace.
I'll show you.
I came to find man who helped
a murdering psychotic go free.
-Have a nice day.
-And I'll make him pay.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
Where's Mr Corbo?
-What are you doing here?
-Vincent!
-Just take off!
-Peter!
Peter Peter, put the gun down.
-Peter!
-Put him down!
Put it down! Put the gun down!
Don't move!
The chopper, let's go!
Hurry, come on!
Making one last pass now.
There, right there! We have to land!
I can see them, they're right there.
-Going in now.
-Here comes our ride!
It's too hot.
We're taking too much fire!
We have to land, we can't leave them!
-What the hell?
-And there it goes.
-Where now?
-You hear that?
Now what?
Anywhere but that way. Come on
Where?
-That way?
-Sure?
If you want directions, wake up Saif.
He'd be happy to help.
This way!
-You okay?
-Keep going!
-Hey, you alright?
-Yeah.
It's not like the movies. You don't
always know when it happens.
-When you get shot.
-What?
That sucks.
Now what?
Pull!
Ready?
-I've never shot one of these.
-It's easy. It's all hand-eye stuff.
Watch the birdie.
Pull!
How is this funny?
Pain is just weakness
leaving the body.
-Here.
-I can do it myself.
-It was your feet, ma'am.
-What about them?
And stop calling me ma'am.
I feel like a wrinkled 40-year-old.
Yes, ma
-Is it loaded?
-Weapons are always loaded.
-Even when they're not.
-Those are wise words.
-Jarhead, right?
-To my friends.
If my brother likes you,
you must have it going on.
-Up for it?
-I'm on the clock.
You're supposed to show her how
to defend herself. That's your job.
Defending herself from skeet?
Can you show me anyway?
Please?
Alright.
Your stance was actually pretty good.
Just make sure that you
Pull!
Barely aimed.
Just lucky, Miss Swann.
Go doubles?
High-low?
Pull!
Pull!
-Why didn't you shoot?
-I didn't have a bead on it, Miss.
You were close.
You would have hit it.
One day I'll have to answer for
every time I pull the trigger so
I never do it unless I know
exactly where it ends up.
Boring. Pull!
We have to go, right now.
Something happened to my grandpa.
Get the plane ready.
I just want you to relax.
-That was in there the whole time?
-Yep.
When we get home, I'll start
a Swann Company paintball team.
Oh, yeah?
There is no "I" in paintball.
-Yeah, there is.
-Yeah?
P-A-I
N! T-B
-Maybe keep it down a little bit?
-A-L-L.
Congratulations. How does it feel?
-Like a man.
-Alright, well
You'll have a great scar
to show the ladies.
Stop!
Where you going?
Let's go!
Peter, we got to move.
-How do you do that?
-Come on.
Sucks to be that guy.
Help me here. I need a medic.
Looks like I missed the party.
Last night, I mean.
Seems my guys caught the fireworks.
-Luther those are worth a fortune!
-They're worth peanuts!
Pocket change!
Nothing compared to Swann!
-You mean the doctor?
-I mean Swan!
I wanted you to grab the doctor
for bait to get Swann out here!
-But Corbo, he gets it done.
-So what?
Zora, what's up?
What's up?
I haven't eaten or slept in two days
because my father is a lunatic
and my brother is lost in the Congo.
What's up with you?
Don't freaking hang up on me.
-Shall we try this again?
-I'm sorry.
It's all this stress.
I'm jumping out of my skin.
I'm not gonna lie to you,
lots of volatility here, but
keep in mind that I know this place.
Local assets are searching for Peter
along the border.
I'm confident that by tomorrow
-they will find him.
-If I make it that long myself.
Don't you trust me?
I feel that you don't trust me
to be there for you.
To do my job for you, for us.
I'm on it, Zora.
This is what I do. So
Unclench, okay? And let it go.
Thank you, Luther.
What? What's that?
Oh, you're dropping out.
Luther, what is this all about?
Sadly, you're going
to beat me to Swann.
And you'll hold him for ransom.
His family will ask me to negotiate
his release and then you and I, Saif,
are going to split
a billion American dollars.
But in cash,
none of this crypto nonsense.
We need to go back as soon as we can.
Hey, please?
Could you help me?
We need to go back.
We can't fly for at least two days.
My chopper is totally shot up.
We need to find a jeep. Anything
that can take us back to Saif.
I don't mean to project negativity
onto an already dire
situation, but
if I don't make it,
do me a favour.
If I make it out of here, sure.
As you may know,
my ex-wife won't divorce me.
Ah, okay.
It might be a little tough
cos she's so famous but
-Famous people often have accidents.
-No, no! What? No.
Live fast, die young.
Feeds the whole legend.
No, I don't want you to hurt her.
I want you to steal her eggs.
-Her what?
-See, when Jane was born,
Aviva said, "No more kids.
I don't want any more children."
I compromised, and that means
that there are ten fertilised eggs
frozen in a cryo-bank in Manhattan.
-She's holding your hostage?
-Half of her genes, half of my genes.
She won't divorce me
unless I sign them over to her.
That won't happen. Unless I'm dead.
Then she'll get them and sell them.
Call me a prude,
but I don't want my heirs auctioned
off online to the highest bidder.
Will you do it?
Yeah? Huh? Hello?
Are you as hungry as I am?
Vincent? Is that a yes?
Ow.
We're going there.
-You'll be safe here.
-Like you were safe here?
We can only be safe at the mine.
It will still be there tomorrow.
-Grace?
-Yeah?
Any progress with that truck?
Not yet. People are fleeing the area
in anything that moves.
I'm sorry, I'll let you know
as soon as I find something.
It's gonna be dark soon.
We should get off our feet.
I'll take point, I feel great.
I feel better than great.
You're euphoric from the blood loss.
Delirium is next,
then hallucination, then psychosis.
Getting shot isn't as bad
as I thought.
Yeah? Tell that to your hands.
Good point.
Watch your step.
I love what you've done to the place.
Cliri, are lions nocturnal?
Oh, tight fire.
Would it surprise you
that I made Eagle Scout?
Surprised, no.
Roll my eyes, definitely.
Just put that anywhere. Hey
Roast tuber?
Keep up your electrolytes.
-No.
-Alright.
Tubers and roots.
Food of the future.
That and insects.
My friend Leo put
a billion into grasshoppers.
Let me guess,
they taste like chicken.
No, they taste like bugs.
Only, who's gonna know the difference
when all the chickens are extinct?
-What?
-Hey
Took it off that tracker guy.
So
about that tracker guy.
-Did we kill him?
-No.
No, breaking his neck would
have been too loud.
-And you didn't hurt anybody.
-I was there. I saw what happened.
It was a great fast bowl on Saif,
I'll give you that.
Here, this should help.
Help? Help what?
Whatever you're working out.
Think you're the first operator
to stare into his beer?
I'm guessing client.
I say it's a girl.
It's both. They're the
She's the same thing.
Oldest one in the book.
Know how many princesses
mess about with their bodyguards?
That whole forbidden fruit thing.
Nah, it's not that.
It's the opposite.
She grew up in a bubble, right.
Everything handed to her
and she's still a mess.
Then why does she make me
feel so bad about myself?
Maybe you care
what she thinks about you.
Why would I do that?
One more should do it.
Keep drinking, keep thinking.
You'll figure it out.
Here, babe.
So, what's the plan?
Besides keep moving?
No, I mean big picture.
You must have some insight.
Some sort of relatable context
to apply.
My plan was to get you and Grace
on that helicopter.
You had a different plan.
So maybe I should ask you.
Okay. What we need is a
nomic device. Something to
keep us centered. Something simple.
How about
"stay alive till Grace arrives".
Stay alive till Grace arrives.
-Yeah.
-How about we just get some Z's?
We shouldn't go to sleep.
Take power back when you can. A few
hours now get us through another day.
If we have another day.
-Stay alive for what?
-Grace arrives.
Stay alive till Grace arrives.
Stay alive till Grace arrives
Stay alive till Grace arrives.
Parallax, targets are still active.
Let's widen our search parameters.
Let's go!
Let's go.
Dr Grace?
Yes?
I am told that you're in need
of a 4x4 to go off-road.
You know of one?
I own one.
Take whatever you need.
We're leaving in five.
Yes, this is perfect.
What's the plan?
We go in blasting?
Nobody's blasting anything.
Right now, stay on the road
and if we are lucky,
Peter and Vincent will
be on the move.
-If we're not lucky?
-If we're not lucky
then we'll go to Saif's and get them.
We finally made it out of the woods.
I'll race you to the tree line.
Come on.
Halt!
-Keep going!
-Freeze!
I said, freeze!
-Easy guys, easy.
-We're Americans.
My friend needs
medical attention desperately.
Not that desperately.
-It's just a what is this?
-It's a graze.
Don't care where you're from.
Drop the weapon or we'll drop you.
Get ready to bail.
The rest is on foot.
-Okay, we gotta go.
-Hey
Looks empty.
Let's find out. Weapons hot.
What now?
-What's with the bad cop routine?
-Sorry, bro, boss's orders.
We've got bandits and
drug traffickers all over the place.
We're about the only law
around here for hours.
Who's your boss?
Never heard of Parallax.
You know who I am.
I'm not a drug trafficker.
I'm a pharmacist who
for a little professional courtesy
can add a lot more zeros to whatever
you're paid to play rent-a-cop
Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.
Sir? Sir!
Don't move! We're in a mine field.
Peter, don't move!
We are in a minefield, you moron!
Peter, stop moving!
Stop moving.
Peter! Peter, put the gun down.
-Put him down!
-Put the gun down!
Don't move!
Peter, I told you not to move!
A thank you would be nice!
Thank you! Don't move!
-Don't worry, I can't.
-Why? Are you
-Are you hit again?
-No, it's just that
I am confident with about a
90 percent degree of certainty that
now I'm on a mine.
So
So there's that.
This is Zora. You know what to do.
Zora, where are you?
I'm here, I'm with Granddad.
What happened? And where's my dad?
I can't get hold of him.
Zora, please just call me
when you get this.
Here I am, with my life
literally in the hands
of my fiancé's ex.
I can smell the irony.
Technically,
your life is in your butt.
One small twitch,
you can trigger the pressure fuse,
so don't move a cheek.
-Do you still love her?
-What?
Do you still love her?
I mean, you must. Of course you do.
If I talk do you promise to shut up
and stop squirming around?
I'm not sure if I ever loved her.
Well then
why did you sign on for this?
Because the time we spent together,
I really wasn't there.
She was there. Everything was right
in front of me but it was like
I was like a ghost looking at life.
Watching her, all the alive people.
And I was just not able to
I wanted to love her.
I just never got there.
Here it is! Got it.
We got a little bit of
a good news-bad news situation here.
Okay, what's the good news?
The good news is that it's really old
so there no tilt or motion fuse
to deal with.
-And the bad news?
-It's the same as the good news.
It's really old,
so it's corroded and likely unstable.
So like the warranty
we are both likely to expire.
One more joke like that
and I'll let it blow.
Now, we're gonna swap out my hand
for your bodyweight, okay?
Wait.
-Ground yourself.
-I'm quite focused, thank you.
Ground yourself. Lick your finger.
Because there's blast powder in it.
Over time it shifts, it moves around.
The static electricity,
one loose electron for you and bang.
Okay. A nerd till the end.
-Billionaire nerd.
-Right.
Okay, you're gonna lift up slowly and
without coming back down, roll over.
Yeah.
Wait!
If this goes sideways, promise me
that you save yourself and go home.
I'm not sure you fully understand
how a landmine works.
Can you do it for Grace's sake?
-You ready?
-Yeah.
Ready and roll!
What was phase two?
I didn't think I was gonna live
past phase one.
Hey!
Hey, you!
-This is a minefield!
-Boom, boom!
Something's happening.
I think it's gonna blow.
Look, I think it's gonna blow.
It's gonna blow!
Will you look at that?
Can you remember when I told you
to teach me everything?
Yeah I lied.
Your job straight up sucks.
I'm gonna follow that guy.
Damn it!
This looks like a possible aneurism.
He needs a second MRI.
Hey, Danny, it's me.
My Grandpa's really messed up, so
I just wanted to speak to someone,
so please call me when you get this.
What?
Anything I can do?
What can you do?
He's gonna die anyway.
If you're asking me, Miss,
I don't think he will.
Oh, so you're a doctor now too?
It's an instinct
based on what I've
seen in my time.
Have you seen someone
smashed up like that?
Like that and worse.
You do go to therapy, right?
I should.
I should.
You know any good ones?
Only been going since I was seven,
so yeah, got a pretty good list.
You know my mother, right?
Fair enough.
But seriously,
having a team has helped.
They're like family.
Especially Vincent.
So what do you guys say
to help each other?
Not so much words.
We just try and pass along
a little strength.
If I may, Jane?
You are just going to leave them?
You wanna drag them out, Saif?
Cos I want Swann.
Swann and only Swann.
It's all that matters.
Thank you.
Stop, stop here!
Hey.
Let's go! Come on, come on!
You said, Saif's guys weren't
real big city boys?
-Brunch is over. Time to go.
-No more minefields, okay?
-First you have to pay.
-Neumann?
What the hell are you doing here?
Your bodyguard, Mr Swann,
is a degenerate criminal. I'll put
him away for the rest of his life.
-Seriously? For a parking ticket?
-Speeding. In a school zone.
In that case,
just give him the electric chair.
-I wasn't driving. He was.
-I knew it was you.
-Newman, you don't know who's coming.
-We need to go!
Neumann. And you're going
to a nice cramped prison cell.
Not now.
Not now.
Friends of yours?
Not now. No, no, please!
This is not happening!
No, come on! Please!
Please, gentlemen, I'm a law man.
I'm a good guy like you.
-Shall we?
-Yeah.
Waiter?
-So what was that about?
-About what?
About what?
What are you trying to do?
About that Europol cop with a
parking ticket chasing you to Africa.
Can you hear that?
Something moving through the grass.
You think that's gonna stop me
asking you what that was about?
-Might be a rhino.
-Rhino?
I hope it's a rhino.
If it's a hippopotamus
we'd be in real trouble.
You think a hippo's worse?
Rhino has a horn.
Rhinoceroses are kind of stupid.
Can't see well.
Hippopotamus, unrelenting. Stop at
nothing. They kill 500 people a year.
Terrible creatures.
There's a joke in there somewhere
about my almost ex-wife.
Hey, wait up.
Told you.
Place is empty.
Spread out. Let's make sure.
Let's see
if the vaccines are still here.
Luther? Hello?
Zora?
-Zora, is that you?
-Grace?
Doc, we have to go.
Hey, listen, Peter is in danger.
-Grace, I'm losing
-We're all in danger.
I'm losing you.
I can't hear you, Grace.
I don't know what you're playing at,
but if something happens to Peter
Doc, we need to go, now.
-Luther?
-Zora sent me to find you.
There's militia everywhere, so let's
move. Help Mr Swann to the trucks.
Vincent too?
Right behind you.
Watch the suit.
-You hurt him, I kill you.
-He's perfectly safe.
Until I ransom him back to Zora.
No ransom for me?
I'm afraid
you've already been claimed.
It's a shame really. We could
have done great things together.
The other loser who said that
was a psychotic mob boss.
Sounds like my kinda guy.
Take your time with him. Have fun.
No, not a machete.
You have made
a lot of trouble for me.
Now I'm going to make trouble
for you.
Sweet ride!
Do you get a discount on your
outfits? They're kind of matchy.
Nice. What do I do, tip you?
-Okay, let's go.
-Where's Vincent?
-Get in!
-Where's Vincent?
-Militia's got him. Let's go.
-What?
Let's go, let's go!
-What militia?
-They were everywhere.
Stop the car, Luther!
It's better if you be quiet.
You bloodless
backstabbing
-sociopath!
-Enough of that!
Luther, stop!
Sure giving his client
his money's worth.
-Pull over!
-This isn't about his client.
It's about me.
Pull over!
You're fired!
God damn it!
Vincent!
Hey, man?
Don't move. No. How many fingers?
You see? How many fingers?
How many
Oh look, it's Luther!
Luther and his ninja mercenary boys.
Hey, guys, how you doing?
How much is he paying you?
Look, you're already in a circle.
That's kinda like a
circular firing squad.
Even I know what that means.
Hey, back off!
If you wanna do anything to him,
you'll have to do it through me.
Do you want that?
You didn't think that through.
Did you, Luther? You you didn't!
Pick him up!
Don't shoot.
We can't risk killing Peter.
-Back to the trucks.
-That's right, back off, Luther!
Hey, Vincent
Hey, man, keep breathing.
If you can hear me, don't move.
Vincent? Vincent!
