Spooks s08e08 Episode Script

Episode 8

Unidentified government agents.
Talk of a new world order.
Are you implying we may both have some bad apples? I've got a list of mobile phones active in the same cell at the time of his death.
- And? - Sarah was no more than 5 metres away.
Walker's death it threw me.
I understand.
Do you? Can't have been easy for you.
No.
Being close to someone, finding out they're not who you thought they were.
It's painful.
Sarah was at the meeting in Basel.
She was there.
- Are you sure? - Walker would've found out.
He's dead.
'I'm finished.
' - Home Secretary.
- Sir Harry.
- Nightingale drove him from office.
- Lawrence could be theirs? I don't like being messed about.
I'll decide on the payback.
You're with them.
Nightingale.
- It's you or me.
- Who are they? You have no idea how big they are.
They are taking over.
Nightingale's been stirring things up.
Attacks in the UK, $6 billion goes to an unknown destination in Pakistan, - Home Secretary forced from office.
- And we're still missing pieces.
- What's next? - 'Global terror attacks ' Simultaneous attacks in the US and Holland.
- 'His replacement ' - Their man is running the Pakistani army.
Forcing India and Pakistan into conflict.
Or worse.
Nuclear war.
Indian sub fished up by the Pakistani navy and forced into Karachi harbour, where TV cameras were whirring.
- So what happens now? - General Ali has been on TV crowing.
India has issued a deadline of a week for the return of the sub.
- Deadlines are bad.
- Somebody will have to blink.
That's Russell Price, CIA Head in Europe.
They're really nervous if he's here.
Good to see you, Russell.
We need everybody round the table, Harry, get in some pizzas.
- The Indians are incandescent.
- They're pretty "Finding Nemo" about it.
There's a build-up of troops in Kashmir.
You know General Azim Ali is on record as having said he finds India more of a threat than the Taliban? Not an uncommon view in those parts.
My Secretary of State is on standby.
We're cracking heads.
Pakistani President Mudasser we can work with.
Except he's not calling the shots.
General Ali has used the army to sideline him.
Then we need to get Mudasser's back and isolate the hardliners on both sides.
Get the talks started, then kick some ass.
He seems confident they can stop it.
It's rarely seemed so likely to be used.
- The sub was a calculated pretext? - Somebody's pushing this to the edge.
- Home Secretary - Ah.
Sorry.
Twitter update.
They, um, like us to seem with it.
A phrase that won't earn me the freedom of Shoreditch any time soon.
Please, come in.
The PM has asked us to step in to stop this potential conflict.
Apart from the millions in the region who will perish if this goes nuclear, the world impact will be enormous.
The situation is It's unthinkable.
The PM was on the blower to the US.
We're inviting the leaders to London for emergency talks.
The Americans will send their Secretary of State.
- OK.
- Will the Pakistanis play ball? Well, clearly the situation in Pakistan is complicated.
We need to support the civilian president and bolster him up against hardliners in the military.
- Easier said than done.
- I agree.
So we give Mudasser all our support.
Now I actually know him.
I was at Cambridge with him.
I will use all my powers to persuade him to release the submarine.
Don't underestimate the personal touch.
- When are the talks happening? - Today.
The PM will be in Chequers with the Secretary of State.
They will intervene as and when.
I'm confident you can deal with all the security issues.
The PM's relying on us.
Which annoyed you more - Twitter or Cambridge? - When he said the PM got on the blower.
- Of course.
'The UN Secretary General has appealed to all sides to step back 'but the Indian Government says it will renounce its "no first strike" policy 'in favour of a more aggressive approach ' Yes? This is Janie Harding.
Send him up.
- How was India? - Hot.
- It's gonna get hotter.
- How far are we? - They're flying in for talks.
- So it's all going according to plan.
Both sides under one roof? Did you get what we need? The Indian signature.
Straight out of the factory in Pune.
Hotter than a curry.
Only used by the Indian military.
You got any doubts? No.
- You got any doubts about me? - I don't.
Some do.
You're still a tax-and-spend, pro-choice, godless Liberal.
If we don't do this, the Taliban will take control of a nuclear state.
- That'll be the end.
- Know what your problem is? You're way too smart for just one camp.
Yeah.
It takes a little more than flattery to get me into bed, Russell.
Are you forgetting who I am? I could destroy you, remember.
Not this godless Liberal.
What's an Ml5 pretty boy got that I don't? You just answered your own question.
I want you to kill him.
Why? Because we need to know there's no lingering emotional tie.
- There isn't.
- Then there shouldn't be a problem.
Lucas North is good, right? So better out of the way.
Do it soon and I can stop fielding questions about your commitment.
- Submarine update? - Unchanged.
Emergency UN meeting this afternoon.
Our focus has to be on the group who seem to be manufacturing this crisis.
General Azim Ali, Chief of Military Command in Pakistan, probable benefactor of Nightingale's largesse to the tune of $6 billion.
More powerful than the President, he's behind the submarine crisis.
Hans Lindemann, millionaire fixer.
We suspect he's behind the Basel meeting, but we can't confirm him there.
Nicholas Blake, forced out of the Home Office by Nightingale.
Reasons unknown.
His successor - Andrew Lawrence.
No proven connection to Nightingale, but was getting Blake out in order to get Andrew Lawrence in? Sarah Caulfield.
We have evidence that she left the UK two weeks ago.
She took a flight to Frankfurt using an alias.
Now off our radar.
Showing she was a new broom by helping organise terror attacks before she left.
- Why would she betray everyone? - Money? - It won't be money.
- You know her.
At present we have more questions than answers, but all are linked to a conspiracy to provoke war between India and Pakistan.
A potential nuclear war.
- We can't ignore China.
- Biggest player in the region.
There's no way Pakistan would have moved on the sub without their backing.
- So how are they involved? And why? - India's set a deadline of a week.
So that's our timeframe.
Harry, you were right about another person being at the meeting in Basel.
Hans Lindemann.
He came in on a private jet to a secret landing strip.
Then he spent several days secluded in his Tuscan retreat.
- He had only one guest.
- And that was? - Andrew Lawrence, Home Secretary.
- That doesn't look good.
We need to get surveillance into Lindemann's office.
You have to admit, a war might sort out a few issues.
- Why haven't Nightingale recruited you? - It's been gnawing away at me.
Let's see what Lindemann has to do with all this.
You going in, then? Come on, then, Ros.
Small talk me a little.
OK.
My perfume is made from the anal glands of cats.
I read that in the paper this morning.
It's actually the perineal gland of the civet.
But now they synthesise it.
- How do you know that? - I'm a polymath.
- What the hell is a civet? - A cross between a cat and a mongoose.
In Vietnam they drink a coffee made from beans harvested from its faeces.
- Versatile little creature.
- Mm-hm.
OK, liking the frequency, Kenneth.
OK, I'll do the meeting room and then we're good to go.
Hey, Lucas.
You look surprised to see me.
Yeah.
I am.
It's been a while.
Why have you come here? To kill you.
Get out of town while you still have the chance.
- You can't stop this.
- I didn't realise it was Dodge City.
Contact me when you're safe.
Barbados, Bolivia.
You choose.
I'll meet you there.
What are you talking about? Red zones where people die, green zones where they live.
Head for the green zone while you have the chance.
It's the last one you'll get.
You're not going anywhere.
Ros Myers The feeling's mutual.
Sarah! Take the shot, Lucas! - Why didn't you shoot her? - She's no use to us dead.
- You still like her? - Back off.
Our only link and you let her get away.
- No, I want us to get her alive! - "Barbados or Bolivia.
You choose.
" I said back off.
I'll find her.
Tariq, can you check the most expensive hotels? Any guests with the surnames of American Presidents.
She's a silly little show-off.
Jackson, Johnson, Adams Best get started, then.
Ros, I couldn't guarantee I wouldn't kill her.
Then we'd have nothing.
But I will find her and use her to defeat Nightingale.
OK.
We need to get to the summit hotel and check out security.
- Yeah.
- I'd go for Barbados.
- What? - Bolivia's Commie and has no seaside.
You found him and you let him go.
I didn't let him go.
We got disturbed.
You followed him to Lindemann's? So they probably know about Lawrence's trip to Tuscany.
What'll they do? Trust will break down between the Home Secretary and Security Chief, which is good for us.
Make sure you don't let Lucas off again or it'll look like you don't want to kill him.
I wanted to talk to you about the Home Secretary.
- I think we should exercise caution.
- So do I.
I suspect I mean it rather differently.
Go on.
Lawrence having friendly relations with a Basel conspirator is not proof.
Odd timing, though.
Two days together as they force out his predecessor.
That's called the availability error in psychology.
- Nobody else has raised a doubt.
- They may be reluctant to challenge you.
- It's how miscarriages of justice occur.
- No such reluctance with you, eh, Ruth? I'm not saying he isn't bad.
We should remain open to the possibility that he isn't.
I'll check how we're doing at the hotel.
'Pakistani and Indian representatives are about to sit down to talks 'in a bid to alleviate the growing submarine crisis.
' Helipad secure.
We'll go back and make sure you can't drive a truck in the lobby.
Lucas North! Glad you're on point.
Let's make this a smooth ride.
- Ros Myers.
- Hey.
Delegations are arriving, security is clear, so we're good to go.
The Americans are taking care of their Secretary of State.
He's at Chequers? Yep.
If things stall, he and the PM can come in at a moment's notice.
Ros - I want you to see the Home Secretary.
- Alone? I need to be sure our evaluation is not informed by my prejudices.
Everything we do is informed by those.
What's the strategy? We could push him away from the talks.
- Do we pull him in? - Make him one of us.
Almost.
- But give him false information.
- Risky.
It could damage your relationship permanently.
These talks are our last chance to end this peacefully.
That's more important than my relationship with any politician.
Give this to Mudasser? And what is the purpose of it? To establish new channels of communication.
We believe he is the voice of reason and we can separate him from Ali.
- It's a code structure they can use.
- Harry discounted my relationship.
Not at all.
As this shows.
- He doesn't like me, though, does he? - I don't think "like" comes into it.
- He reminds me of my father.
- Really? I'd look for approval, he'd withhold it.
Maybe stop looking for approval? It's a character flaw common to many politicians.
Luckily, it works better on the electorate than either my dad or Harry Pearce.
Anyway, I, er - I always wanted to be a spy.
- I'll leave you with it, then.
Thanks, Ros.
He hands it to Mudasser.
If somebody else looks at it, we'll know.
- What's on it? - Gibberish.
It'll waste a lot of time.
- What did you make of him? - Politician.
Hard to say.
- Think he's a traitor? - I don't know.
- Ruth, that football spread bet? - Ten corners for Gamba Osaka? Yes.
- What does it mean? - A request to an asset for information.
- Did you go in and check the bets? - Four penalties for Kashima Antlers.
- Wow.
- What does it mean? Three penalties means he wants to talk.
Something's definitely got him excited.
I've a possible breakthrough on China.
GCHQ intercepted signals suggesting conflict with pragmatists and hardliners - over India and the submarine.
- You approached our pragmatist asset? - And he appears keen to talk.
- I want you to meet the asset.
See what you can find out about China's role.
- Lima One in position.
- 'Copy that.
' Lima Two in position.
Echo One approaching.
'OK, Lima Team, stand by.
' There is going to be war.
- The talks? - Will solve nothing.
Pakistan's President is weak and does not make the decisions now.
If it goes nuclear, it's a catastrophe.
Pakistan virtually disappears, India is weakened.
'As with all wars, there will be winners.
' The world will survive.
It will just be different.
'He thinks it's already decided.
' Press him on specifics Get him onto Nightingale.
How much CIA involvement is there? - They are split.
Same as in my country.
- Who's running things for them? It's not about one person.
It's much bigger than that.
Nothing will be the same again.
There will come a completely different set of rules for world government.
What I really wanted to warn you about is closer to home.
We know there will be an incident Shit! Lima Team? - Are you OK? - I'm fine, I'm fine.
Let's find out who the assassin is.
The hit man was not MSS.
Obviously a sleeper.
No immigration status, practically a cockle picker.
Heng said there's a big divide.
Must have been the hardline faction.
- He also mentioned close to home.
- A trigger that will start the war.
- Has to be connected to the talks.
- We need Caulfield.
- Tariq's searching.
- Tried social networking sites? She's not taking the bait.
She knows it's a set-up.
- Well, she's not gullible, is she? - Tariq has to keep looking.
In the meantime, speak to Russell Price about Caulfield's whereabouts.
I suspect they'll attack the peace talks and Sarah's involved.
They must be looking for her, too.
Anshi Desai, Indian political analyst.
Her room is good? - Just where you wanted it.
- Nice work.
Sorry to disturb, Miss Desai.
CIA.
Just a routine security sweep.
Is this any good? Get her out of here.
Wire this up, Mikey.
I'll go downstairs and keep the Brits happy.
Sarah Caulfield? Yeah, we'd like to talk to her.
- About Samuel Walker's murder? - Several things.
- Including the Nightingale conspiracy? - Never heard of it.
Don't mess about.
If we have, you have.
Well She's gone, like the winter snow.
I heard she was in Latin America working for Hugo Chavez.
- That's ridiculous.
- You were the one boffing her, Lucas.
- You don't know where she might be? - We wouldn't be asking you if he did.
We respected Walker.
Now a Chinese diplomat has also been killed here.
- You think Sarah's involved? - We'd like to talk.
We know she's your property.
We'd just really appreciate the co-operation.
Obviously, we want to find Caulfield and what we can share with you, we will.
But right now I'm more concerned about our Secretary of State, so if you'll excuse me.
Can't say I blame you, buddy.
I have to admit I didn't say no myself.
McKinleys, Van Burens, Clevelands, Trumans.
It's never-ending.
OK.
Janie Harding.
Let's have a closer look at your eyes.
Window to the soul.
Lucas, I've got her.
- Which hotel? - The London Regent.
OK.
Scan CCTV.
We need a team in place immediately.
Track her.
I'll intercept.
- Alpha Team, I'm in position.
- 'Copy that, Alpha One.
'Contact approaching.
' Lucas North.
- I didn't expect to see you so soon.
- Skip it.
- We were never much good at small talk.
- We had better things to do.
You say that to all the boys? How did we end up here, Sarah? Why are you with these people? - What happened to you? - Come back to my room.
We can talk.
Ah! That's not an option, I'm afraid.
- She shot me! You crazy bitch! - Don't be such a cry-baby.
Get Miss Reagan to a clinic so we can keep an eye on her.
Or would you prefer to see Russell Price? 'There is rising tension in both India and Pakistan 'as the deadline for the return of the submarine approaches.
'As both parties prepare to meet for a peace summit in London ' - Where's that? - Lahore.
I have family there.
My cousin.
- He's on Facebook, supports Liverpool.
- Small world.
He sent me a message.
All it said was, "I'm scared.
" This is Lahore if one bomb the size of Hiroshima lands on it.
They've been to the brink before and pulled back.
I'm sure these talks will sort it out.
You can't lose hope.
You brought my grapes? Talk to me.
- They made you my interrogator? - Would you rather have Ros? - What happened to you? - Didn't you see? Some psycho who hasn't got laid for five years shot me in the leg.
- I'll tell her you said that.
- When I shoot her, it won't be the leg.
Why is Nightingale provoking war between India and Pakistan? - I only speak for myself.
- OK.
Why? I've seen what happens when the Taliban take control.
And you think a war will solve that? It's only a matter of time until they take Pakistan.
There won't be any peace talks when the Taliban get nuclear weapons.
- This will go nuclear.
You know that.
- No.
- No, we can control it.
Goodbye, Taliban.
- And India? Down, but not out.
Suits China, who hold our debt.
Only connect, Lucas.
Yeah, wars are bad, but seeds grow from the ashes.
Come on.
Stay a while.
I might start talking in my sleep.
Come on.
You know you want to.
You're a liar.
A murderer.
A self-serving traitor.
Not just to your own country, but to humanity in general.
You disgust me.
Home Secretary.
- Ah.
And Harry? - Sent his apologies.
Tell him he's fired and you're his replacement.
You think I'm joking.
I think it's time to stand up to the grumpy old men.
- Catapult you through the glass ceiling.
- No, thank you.
I'm not a desk person.
Don't knock what you haven't tried.
So thank you very much for coming.
I spoke with President Mudasser this morning on the phone.
- And? - He's concerned that while he's here the military back home will ramp up the tension.
- In what way? - He fears something will anger India and force the peace talks to break down.
I thought I should pass that on to you - in my in my role as - Backchannel.
Backchannel? I was hoping for something a little sexier, but I guess that'll do for now.
I'll try and think of an alternative.
'The Indian and Pakistani representatives are inside the hotel 'and talks are believed to be underway.
'We have information from a Government source that the Home Secretary ' So let's go over this one more time.
What are you doing here? Who else is involved? I was tasked to kill you.
And you betrayed me.
How do I know you weren't going to? I wasn't.
- Why not? - Why do you think? Sometimes it's just like that.
You fall in love with somebody.
Believe me.
You can't stop this.
- Who tasked you to kill me? - Harry Pearce.
- You've got a Nightingale mole.
- Don't test me! - We're on the brink of a catastrophe! - Something terrible, but necessary.
- Millions burn in slums, none the wiser? - That's why they're still in the slums.
Spoken like a true elitist.
Scratch the surface I AM an elitist.
I prefer beautiful and clever people.
- It's why I fell for you.
- It's not too late to stop this.
You don't listen, do you? It is far, far too late.
You think this summit will help matters? Here's a scary thought for you, Lucas.
What if we're running that show? Let's get out of here.
You and me.
- You're insane.
- Get me out of here.
Take me away.
- Have you got anywhere yet? - She's talking.
- Mainly generalities.
- We don't have time.
I'm nearly there.
- You really think she'll talk to you? - My methods might be more persuasive.
- Ros, I told you to back off.
- I'm nearly there.
You hold her hand, I'll pull her hair.
I just saw the Home Secretary.
- Really? What was he saying? - He was quite relaxed without Harry.
Ros, the bodyguard's gone! Hurry! Get out of the way! Why did you kill her?! Why did you kill her? Lucas! We need him alive.
You better start talking.
Give me a reason not to kill you! Tariq, the hit man has to phone in a kill confirmation.
Can you trace the number? Give me a few minutes.
- How's Lucas? - Distraught.
Coping.
Sarah said something about Nightingale running the talks.
- What does that mean? - We don't know.
- What else did she say? - The usual dishonest metaphors to hide the reality of mass slaughter.
- Preventative surgery? - Forest fires.
Ah, yes.
Sounds as if Nightingale buys the concept of controlled holocaust.
We must save the talks.
Do you still sing? - In your choir? - Er, yes.
We're doing Beethoven's Ninth.
"Ode To Joy".
- "Alle Menschen" - "werder Bruder.
" - All men will be brothers.
- Under gentle wings.
Harry? Harry, all men ARE brothers.
That's why we shed tears for people we don't know.
- It's just the wind, Ruth.
- Yes, of course.
Where are we on the phone trace? The original signal's been diverted countless times.
A hotel in east London.
- The summit hotel.
- We're running a trace on every mobile to find out who ordered the hit.
- Russell Price.
- Head of CIA European Operations.
Working for Nightingale.
At least we know what we're dealing with.
That was the last thing Sarah said to me.
"What if we're the ones really running the show?" Russell Price is Sarah's Nightingale handler.
Or was.
- They killed her.
- How did they know? We listen to them, they listen to us.
So Nightingale control American security.
Do we stop the talks? Move them? The Indian sub commander's just admitted on TV to spying.
- Blatant provocation.
- As the Home Secretary said.
General Ali's getting the upper hand.
Any sign that that fake code has been accessed? Nothing.
Indians have suspended talks to consider their options.
They're threatening to retaliate unless the sub's returned immediately.
- Who is this? - Anshi Desai.
Indian political analyst.
- Only member of the delegation to stay.
- Find out why she didn't leave.
Ros, get down there.
Nightingale is pulling strings.
But play it softly.
We need the Pakistani President to announce release of the Indian sub.
These talks are the last chance of a peaceful solution.
Peace is slipping away in either direction.
A year ago, everybody talked about disarmament.
Superpowers reduced nuclear stockpiles.
If these talks have broken down, as it would appear, we stand on the brink of a conflict whose consequences are terrifying to contemplate.
The Home Secretary's upstairs meeting Mudasser.
I think talks are a sham.
They'll attack.
This whole place could be compromised.
We need the important players out.
There might be an assassination? Who? Let's see our remaining Indian delegate.
- Ros - Yeah? The clock on the laptop.
It's counting down.
- It's a detonator.
- How long have we got? Lucas, this has been tampered with.
OK.
Jesus Christ! So President, huh? Who'd have thought? You, the Home Secretary, is more improbable, with your recreational habits.
I didn't inhale, honest.
Harry, they say it's too late to defuse the bomb.
We're going to evacuate.
- This is a set-up.
- The Indians storm out and a bomb's left.
We have to get the Pakistani President and Home Secretary out of here.
This attack is Nightingale's excuse.
So they put the submarine commander on television.
Yes, as you feared.
Your military do seem to have a mind of their own right now.
I want peace.
I came here for peace, Andrew.
Believe me.
General Ali is sitting somewhere, outside Pakistan, finger on the nuclear trigger.
Gold Control, we need them safely onto a helicopter straight away.
Price has agents all over the hotel.
We have to make sure the exit route is clear.
I was asked to give you this as well as the book.
A code structure for communications between us.
Home Secretary? British Security Team.
We have a situation in the hotel.
Could you accompany me to the roof where the helicopter is waiting? 'Both assets proceeding to roof area.
' - The helicopter's sabotaged.
- Get another one.
- It's blocking the roof.
They can't land.
- Take assets to Conference Room One.
- We've got to go through the lobby.
- Yeah, but that's very dangerous.
So is a massive bomb.
Where are Ros and Lucas? Still in there.
But we're about to cut comms so they can't remote detonate.
Mobiles are down.
They suspect something.
They heading out, Mikey? - 'Affirmative.
' - OK, let's meet and intercept.
- Russell Price, CIA.
- We're going to the lobby.
Lobby's blocked.
We need to head to the north stairwell.
- These men are under my protection.
- Can we just have a word, sir? OK, gentlemen, British Security have approved my plan.
- We'll take you somewhere secure.
- What's going on? A security situation, sir.
I have to personally escort you to safety.
No, I need to see Sir Harry Pearce now.
Let me get you to safety first, sir.
We sent the Home Secretary in, Ruth! - If he's innocent - They'll get him out.
- They're not there.
- Lost contact.
Where are they? Maybe they went straight to the lobby.
- He's one of ours.
- How long have we got? - 10 minutes.
- If the President dies, it's war.
Listen, I'm the British Home Secretary and I insist on speaking to Harry Pearce.
- Mobiles are down due to the situation.
- What is this "situation"? I can't address that right now.
My men are securing the lobby.
- We don't want another Mumbai.
- You're not listening to me Let's go.
It's already been a day of surprises at the peace talks.
The Indian delegation suspended talks after the commander was paraded on TV.
There's a lot of activity now with rumours of an incident inside.
Meanwhile, behind me, people continue to gather and police are cordoning off the area.
We have no word on the Pakistani President or the British Home Secretary.
Any fears as to their safety have been denied by Security spokesmen.
Tariq! - I'm going down.
- No.
To do what? - Speak to whoever's in charge.
- There's not enough time! - Get me the Met Commander.
- I spoke to him.
It's chaos down there.
The Americans are clearing the lobby.
The Home Secretary and Pakistani President are there and we can't go in?! I still can't get hold of Lucas or Ros.
- Get me a car now.
- Harry! They'll be near the blast zone.
My guess is underneath it.
Or they'd have killed them.
It must look authentic.
Sixth Floor would be my bet.
OK, you guys go now.
Mikey, stay with me until we're sure the Brits have bailed.
Guys, clear this floor.
There's been shooting.
- Come with us.
- OK, you get out of my way now.
- There's a bomb in here.
- Shall we go and take a look at it? Get me the Prime Minister.
He needs to speak to the US President.
- Only they and the Chinese can halt it.
- He's at Chequers.
I'll patch through.
- You're familiar with this room.
- You crazy bitch! Tell us where the President and Home Secretary are and you can walk away.
Keep checking the other rooms.
I'll make sure Mr Price stays here.
Let me know when he talks.
One of us will make sure General Ali doesn't give that order.
You'll leave me, so where's my incentive? I keep my word.
You tell us where he is, we leave here together.
What's that expression Americans have? Do the math.
Even a 10% chance I keep my word is better than nothing at all.
- You assume self-interest is my motive.
- You assume you're no use to us alive.
I don't make decisions based on emotion or a childish desire for payback.
You tell me where they are and I give you back to your Government to deal with you.
Ros, I need a location.
There's hundreds of rooms.
You have to get something fast.
Funny.
We've only known each other a few days and we're going to die together.
You've got some balls, I give you that.
No.
Just not frightened of dying.
Can't say the same for you, though.
There will be a nuclear conflict soon.
How long before North Korea or Iran or the Taliban get nukes they can use? I don't know.
It frightens me as well.
This is the lesser of two evils.
- We can control it.
- No.
You couldn't even control Iraq.
We're going to die here.
You give me the room number and we leave together.
'Ros? We're running out of time.
' - If he won't talk, you have to bail.
- 'Same applies to you.
' Give it a couple of minutes.
I'll follow.
We both know that's not true, though.
My only regret about dying is not being around to know what it's like.
A couple of minutes.
This is your only chance.
Like I say do the math.
Get me the Gold Commander.
- We should restore the mobile network.
- Remember what you said, about hope.
Don't give up hope.
OK, I'm going to go now, help my colleague find my Home Secretary.
I really don't want your face to be the last thing I see.
All right.
They're on the Fifth Floor.
Room 507.
Just let me go.
Don't leave me here! Don't leave me here! 'Lucas, Room 507! Meet me there! ' - Oh, Jesus - What's gone on? They paralysed us with a nerve agent.
- What's going on? - A group is trying to start nuclear war.
- There's a bomb right above us.
- Get him out.
- I'm not leaving without you.
- And I'm not leaving without him.
OK? - Ros - No debate, Lucas.
Millions will die unless you parade him to the media.
You're stronger than I am.
Get him out.
Go.
Ugh OK.
You and I are going to take things much slower, OK? But I promise you I will get you out of here.
OK, OK Ros? Lucas? Speak to us.
Argh! Ros, you should go.
There's no point in us both dying.
Not really part of the job description.
Come on Come on! COME ON! COME ON! - Harry, what's going on? - Chaos.
Can't find the Gold Commander.
Americans everywhere, shouting.
No idea who's friend and who's foe.
- Any sign of Ros and Lucas? - No.
I need a medic! Medic! Ros I gave the President the code device, like you asked.
- We had our doubts about you.
- I'll try not to hold it against you.
You did really well.
Harry will love you for it.
Harry's sacked.
You're my new Security Chief now.
Can I get in, please? We have to get him in front of the cameras.
I'm going back for Ros.
Come on! Get a news crew.
If the missiles fly, millions of humans will die.
I have ordered the immediate release of the Indian submarine from our waters.
Right, you see that light? Well, that is what we are aiming for.
That's our way out of here, OK? Just keep keep moving towards the light, OK? Ros - How long have we got? - Not long.
