Swan Song

Previously on Professionals.
-Where are we?
-New Zealand.
Zora knows the one way to hurt me
is to come after you.
Okay, I'll wait for you guys
as long as it takes.
You help me nail Basari
We both want him to go away.
That can happen if we work together.
Tariq Basari is going free.
You can take my pension
and shove it up wherever you like.
There is no going back.
-Jarhead, right?
-To my friends.
You care what she thinks about you.
So, what do you guys say,
like to help each other?
Not so much words, we just try
to pass along a little strength.
-What are the charges?
-Financial crimes, from what we know.
-He needs to get locked up.
-Zora's trying to frame me.
Your brother!
-He escaped!
-Every cop is looking for you.
Get out!
Swann Rocketeering will send
another rocket into orbit.
The rocket will be fitted
with a telecom satellite
for a private client.
I'm gonna shut her down.
Whoa! Stop there.
-Seen these people?
-Look for yourself.
They're making a move.
You have to abort the launch. Now!
Hi there!
Seriously, Kurt?
I was going to surprise you.
-I should have thought that through.
-I'm flattered. Really.
Not a good day though.
I'm not here for that.
-Not that I'd be averse to it.
-What do you want?
To ask you a question.
Is it involving a ring?
Er, no. No
Were you serious?
About recruiting me?
-Is he here?
-Who? Grandpa?
Yeah. Where else would he be?
I mean your father.
He's in a lot of trouble, Jane.
-Oh, that was all a mistake.
-I wish it was.
But he had some kind of breakdown.
That's not true.
Your father is a very sick man, Jane.
If he is here, we need to know.
Who is "we"?
What the hell?
What's going on?
-Zora!
-Trust me, it's for your own good.
Zora!
I hoped you'd come back.
To put you out of your misery?
If it would cure yours,
I'd welcome it.
You've misjudged me again, Dad.
I've never been happier.
I feel like there's nothing
I can't do.
Except love, Zora.
It's too late for that, isn't it?
I loved you.
I wanted to be you.
So, don't try to shame me, Dad.
I'm exactly who I was meant to be.
My father's daughter.
You find that funny?
Of course.
Zora
You're so much like me.
And I love you.
Like a father does.
But you're not my daughter.
Why do you think I ended it
with your mother?
Out!
Get out!
I was mad. Furious.
Of course,
I was a terrible
fraud of a husband myself.
I tried to make it up to you later,
I did.
I brought you back into the family.,
the business, everything.
I did.
But those original sins
They'll never be forgiven.
Can they?
You're lying.
You're trying to hurt me.
No, Zora, it's the truth that hurts.
You want me to do this.
Don't you?
You want the police to find my hand
prints around your sad, broken neck.
Sorry, Dad, I'm not going to harm
a single hair on your little head.
Not until Peter is out of the way.
And you are going to help me.
Sleep tight.
Hey, Jack, 20 bucks says
you don't catch nothing.
Alright, let's get started.
Our client, Mr Swann
-Hi. Me again.
-is now a fugitive from the law.
He can thank your hard-working
professionalism from that.
I do. I thank you.
We came into this work
from different places,
but we all share
the same stupid sense of loyalty.
But even loyalty has its limits.
You're all used to
risking your lives,
but on this one, if you stay with me,
you'll be risking your livelihood.
-I'm sure that's the same thing.
-Arrest
Prison. It's likely you'll never
receive another contract again.
At least not from a legit operator.
If you want to pack up,
now is the time.
Your contract will be paid to the
bank account of your choice.
And I'm happy
to write you a referral.
That you can keep as a souvenir.
I'm good.
Never walked away from a job before.
I'm not starting now.
Legit, not legit
If the money's good, I'm all in.
One question though.
What's going on with him?
He's exploring options
in the private sector.
Canned by Europol, huh?
More like betrayed.
He's getting a trial, then we'll see.
-Mr Swann, you have your team.
-Thank you.
Well
The satellite my sister intends to
launch is identical to Panacea.
With one key difference.
Instead of sharing medical data
around the globe,
she intends to hoard it.
So, when the next pandemic goes hot,
Zora will be the first to know,
allowing her to snatch up
global stocks of medicine.
She and her partners can then
hold the world hostage.
Forcing countries to pay trillions
for the resources they control.
I can't let that happen.
Well, first and foremost
I need to bring my daughter
and my father to safety.
And unfortunately,
my sister got to them first.
I took these this morning.
As you can see, Luther's guys are
crawling all over the place.
She's taken them prisoner. Insurance
that I don't move against her.
Approaches are pretty wide open. Not
too promising for a stand up fight.
Well, as it goes, I do know
another way in and out.
I knew it! I told you
she had a secret passage.
Hold on. It's my neighbour, Eva.
-Well, that explains it.
-Hi, Eva.
I came to tell the police
were here yesterday,
poking around, looking for you,
asking questions.
Were they wearing uniforms,
or were they detectives?
Well, now that you mention it,
not a uniform in the bunch.
Luther's men.
Did they leave behind a number,
in case I came back.
Nobody here is gonna help them,
police or not.
Today that might have to change.
Thank you, nurse.
Sit up, Reggie.
Lunch time.
I was just dreaming of pork belly
stewed in wine.
Well, you've got beans on toast.
Oh, God! Is that all you can manage,
with your upbringing?
Exactly. So shut up, you don't
know how to cook either.
Anyway, there are too many pigs
around here.
No argument there.
Jane, my darling.
I want you to go in the garage.
Next to the Ferrari, the red one,
is my golf bag.
In it you will find about a million
dollars, in bearer bonds.
Take them and get out.
I know you know the way.
I'm not going anywhere, Grandpa.
Not until you tell me all your
tedious Woodstock stories.
-Tedious?
-Who was Timmy Hendrix again?
My child, where did I go wrong?
Woodstock was the greatest
cultural event of the 20th century.
Not to mention the fortune I made
promoting it.
-And he was Jimi.
-Oh, that's right. Jimi.
Catch the movie.
-This is Colby.
-I hope this is the right number.
You're looking for a guy
called Peter Swann.
Is that right?
-Where are you?
-At the boat yard,
where that guy Corbo lives.
They're all here right now.
-There's a reward, right?
-Yeah.
Yes!
Just don't approach them.
We'll be there soon.
Let's move out.
Alright, that should help
even out the odds. Green light.
-I knew it.
-Yeah, we heard you.
The first 20 times.
-No showing off.
-Who?
Me?
Wow
This job really is dangerous.
Put that down.
Wait! Wait a second.
Hey.
Yeah, they had three packs.
-I didn't know that.
-Hard to get.
They wrote home.
Hey, did you see what the girl
made the old man?
-A can of beans and burnt toast.
-That's rich people.
Spoil the kids,
then they're surprised
when they can't do anything.
-What's that noise?
-They boys are having fun.
All clear. We're secure.
Whoa!
-Jack!
-Yeah.
I knew you'd come!
Well, there's a twist.
Hi, Dad.
We'll fight about this later.
We've got a plane to catch.
Hey. Can you walk?
-Hi.
-Right now I could fly.
-Because of the drugs?
-No, come on!
There you go wrecking the party.
Help me up, will you?
-We've got to go!
-Wait!
Wait.
Alright, follow me.
Go.
-Get him to the airfield.
-Good luck, Dad.
-Jane! Wait don't go.
-Danny?
Get out of here. This place will be
crawling with bad guys.
-Not without Jane.
-Not happening.
Oh no?
Hold it.
Let's go, baby.
So you must be his brother. Turns out
I have a sister who is just like you.
Yeah. She stab you in the back too?
No, but she will stab me in my eye
if she catches us here.
Danny, let's keep this between us.
Please, leave Jane out of it.
Jane's all I've got.
So, if I have to start shooting
Hey!
I'll start with you.
Danny!
-Hey?
-Don't touch me!
-I'd rather bleed out.
-Get them out of here.
-Call a paramedic!
-On it!
-You're coming with us.
-No, I can't leave my brother here.
You can't save him. You never could.
-Paramedics are ten minutes out.
-Luther's guys will be here sooner.
You have a job to do!
Get in!
There's nobody here.
Do a quick sweep, then let's go.
-Hey.
-Where the hell are you?
Got a call that Swann was at Corbo's.
-You left the old man's place?
-Zora approved.
Should I say no to the client?
Did you ever think
that this was a set up?
One quick sweep, and we're out.
It's time.
Roger that.
What do you want me to do?
Hello?
Fire it up.
Be ready in five.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Be nice to Grace.
If she's nice to me.
-She's nice to everybody.
-I'm joking. Of course I will be.
-When will you get there?
-Soon.
A few loose ends
I have to tie up here.
Okay.
You know his name is Hacksaw, right?
Better than Vial.
I surrender!
I do love you, Dad.
I love you too, Ponytail.
Ponytail.
I just wanted to say good bye.
Thank you.
Hand shake?
Thanks, Jane.
Ten years of experience
in combat zones.
-Can't handle this.
-Can anybody?
-Bye.
-Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Start her up.
-Hey, I'm sorry about your brother.
-Me too.
Hello?
A new day dawns on planet Earth,
bringing us rebirth,
ablaze with hope.
Like the sun itself,
bringing us the promise of a better,
brighter future.
If we have the courage,
to grab Grab.
Grab that.
-What's better than grab?
-Is that a trick question?
How many times have I told you?
Not in front of the help.
What? The camera doesn't turn you on?
Well, the camera does.
You on the other hand
Why so cold?
If you want warm, Luther,
knit a sweater.
This isn't the attitude
I would expect,
seeing what I've done for you.
It's what you haven't done
that concerns me, Luther.
Zora, you've won.
Peter is a fugitive. He's probably in
Cuba, trying to buy himself asylum.
You don't know him like I know him.
I can almost feel him watching us.
You!
What's better than grab?
I need something muscular.
Seize, maybe?
There's carpe delirium.
Seize the day.
Seize.
Bravo! What's your name?
My real name? Or what people call me?
-Are you still recording?
-Miss Swann hasn't said cut.
I'm saying it. Beat it!
Right away, sir.
You're being paranoid.
Well, one of us needs to be.
This is all to important to fail now.
Seize.
Seize.
Seize.
Stop!
What's going on?
Freelance security.
Where are you coming from?
Videographer at the space port.
Open your pack.
-You guys police?
-Just open it!
Hey, let's go! I've got a schedule
to keep.
Let him through.
Okay, you can go.
-Where are you headed?
-Back to Saint Marcos.
Curry night at the hotel.
Seen these people?
Again with these guys? Who are they?
-Terrorists.
-Drug smugglers.
Drug smuggling terrorists.
Look for yourself.
-If you see them
-Report it. I've got it.
I've heard this three times
at three road blocks.
Get used to it. We'll be out here
until after the launch.
-The whole week?
-It got moved up.
It's going off tomorrow.
That's confidential.
Look around, man.
Who am I going to tell?
Yeah, let them through.
He said tomorrow. Are you sure?
Must be. They had technicians turning
up left and right.
Preemptive launch.
We must have them pretty spooked.
I'd say. Swann was real upset with
Luther what's-his-name.
That explains the uptick in security.
Lucky they didn't
catch you with this.
Someone did cut it a little tight.
-We love watching Zak sweat.
-Smelling him, not so much.
What a team!
Hey, maybe we should
hit some targets?
Yeah, I've got an errand
to run first.
-That Interpol guy?
-Yeah.
-No.
-But it's perfect.
It does not work that way.
Trig did not name himself Trig.
Hacksaw did not call himself Hacksaw.
You cannot name yourself.
What was it again?
Badass. Well, Saint Badass.
Alright.
Briefing in five.
Keep your eyes open. Luther's
got patrols out looking for us.
Alright.
-I don't think they like you.
-No. I don't think they do.
-Maybe when they know you better.
-Really?
Is that going to help?
Grenade!
That is what we call operation MDA.
Works every time, baby.
Congratulations! You passed the test.
Welcome to the team.
Nice, man.
Welcome, man.
By the way
Now that I'm part of the team,
I've got a great name for myself.
No. No.
-Come on!
-No.
-Come on, guys!
-Walk away.
You haven't even heard it!
Here's the big screen where you're
gonna watch your own launch.
This beautiful screen is going to
show you the miracle
taking place later.
Luther, come say hello.
This is Gregor, Anatoli and Felix.
Alexi's former partners.
Luther personally acquired
this unique gift you requested.
-Amazing.
-It is a proven aphrodisiac.
Worth a fortune.
Forgive me. No one told me
you would be here.
How could we miss the launch
of our new venture?
And celebrate
with our brilliant new partner.
Yes. Brilliant.
And full of surprises.
If I can interrupt the tour
for one short moment?
Excuse me.
New partner?
What happened to partners?
They know who you are, Luther.
They know what you are.
And right now, they're here
for my side of things.
Good then. You can explain
why you're scrubbing the launch.
And why would I do that?
Because I can't guarantee
its security.
I'm not gonna tell the three most
vicious oligarchs in Eastern Europe
we can't deliver their launch.
I don't care if you kill everyone
on this island.
Just find them. And stop them!
They're counting on you.
-Hello. I'm sorry about that.
-That's okay.
Hey.
Hey.
You too?
Just like you,
I've got a lot on my mind.
It's not my mind that's bothering me.
Just so what you wanna talk about
-You're talking to the wrong guy.
-Am I?
What are you doing here?
It's not the money.
It's not Grace. Not anymore, not now.
And as inflated as my ego is,
I know it's not for me.
So, why are you here?
That's if you know.
Just seems like the wrong people
keep winning.
I don't wanna care,
but I guess I'm bad at ignoring.
You could choose a worse epitaph.
How about you, Peter?
Why are you here?
You've got infinitely more to lose.
Well, like I told you, not long ago,
not far from here,
I am not letting my life's work
be destroyed without a fight.
Now I'm not letting my life's work be
destroyed, unless I destroy it.
Zora is not going to turn my dream
into the world's nightmare.
Heads up.
-It's been a privilege.
-All mine, sir.
-Camo suits you.
-It's good. Feels good too.
You! I don't know how you wound up
here, but I'm glad you did.
Thank you.
This is Colby.
We have their camp in sight.
No one gets out. Copy?
I'm on my way.
Roger that.
Let's move up.
I've always appreciated
your solid judgement.
Only for the important things.
I heard that.
And your smiling face.
I have a feeling I'm gonna see
a little bit more of you soon.
Maybe you can jump into
my video business.
After today, I'm probably
gonna need a job.
-I don't cover medical, though.
-Dental?
Yeah.
-You need another line of work.
-And miss all this fun?
Do you mean that?
-Don't change a thing.
-I don't plan to.
Hey, thanks for everything.
-In case you need me.
-I'll remember that.
Sir!
Take care of each other.
It took them long enough,
even with a smokey fire.
That'll keep them confused
for just long enough.
Listen up!
You all know your assignments.
You all have your escape profiles.
When it's done, extract yourselves
from whatever mess you're in.
And haul ass!
Questions?
-How do we know?
-Trust me, you'll know.
Loud and clear.
Today, a new day dawns
for the house of Swann.
Bringing rebirth ablaze with hope,
the promise of a better,
brighter future.
If we have the courage to grab,
to seize it.
Thank you.
And enjoy the ride.
Whoa! Stop there.
Seen these people?
Look for yourself.
Move!
-Come on!
-Move, move!
-Romy?
-Right behind you.
Let's go!

Corbo! Watch it!

Oops.
Not good.
Okay, Peter.
It's all about that bipod.
Slight hiccup.
-What happened?

-Where?
-That way.
Down.
Well
-Are you crazy?
-That kicks like a mule!
-Final checks complete.
-We have permission to launch.
All metrics met.
We are proceeding to countdown.
Proceeding with the count.
-What happened to you?
-Just a hole in the hand.
-You got hit?
-Yeah.
-I'm taking this shot?
-Yeah.
I make the snowballs.
-You throw them!
-This time you throw them.
Let's go.
We can use this.

Hey, Zora!
How's this for a surprise video?
It hurts, doesn't it?
Watching your dream go up in flames.
Mine was to beat disease,
so that millions could share
their genius with the world.
Yours was to enslave them
to plague, poverty, disease.
Unless of course, they could pay.
We're both paid today.
We both burned down
the house of Swann.
Whatever happens next, I'm ready.
Are you?
-Great shot!
-Thank you.
Alright, as your security adviser,
I advice you
we get the hell out of here.
-Wait.
-What?
-Look.
-We gotta go.
Oh, hey, Zora! How's things?
I What? You're breaking up on me.
