'I have your daughter. If you don't do exactly as we say, she's dead.

Daddy!'

These people should be making demands, they should be asking for money.

So whatever's going on here, it's about a lot more than Chloe, and you know it.

Keep the girl alive until we are done.

After that, k*ll her, sell her, it does not matter.

This character here, he's part of a local g*ng.

Aaron, muscle for his cousin, Ray McQueen.

Ensure Foster takes this to the right place.

You want me to b*mb my own embassy?

Clock's ticking, ambassador.

Move! Move!

I've got eyes on the girl.

We have the girl. I repeat, we have Chloe.

General Ong Ji-Woo.

I am so sorry.

'They have the girl.'

Chloe's safe!

Go!

Robin.

Robin!

Talk to me. She's fine.

Chloe!

Robin!

We got her back.

You didn't have to do this.

Robin! Robin!

Oh, my God! What happened?

Who told him to do this, Mei?

Don't touch him!

This is because of you and your men!

You listen to me!

This is important. I need to know.

Did Robin talk to you about what he was doing today, where he was going?

He said he trusted you. He believed in you.

Careful.

OK, Chloe, look, listen to me.

Your dad's been injured but he's going to be OK.

Dad?

Chloe.

Sir?

Sir, where to?

Will you just give me a minute?

We're going to need a new base.

Somewhere off the grid.

Away from this bloody mess.

What about Stonebridge's civilian contact?

Garland.

That is a very good idea.

We'll set up the crib there.

Scott and Stonebridge?

They're bringing in McQueen.

How's the shoulder, Mikey?

You have to pop it back in.

Yeah, I know.

I will. Just keep moving.

Bravo One and Two, send sit-rep.

We have McQueen.

We're regrouping at Garland's place.

Listen, Michael, someone's just blown the hell out of the North Korean delegation at the embassy.

McQueen's our only link to the people behind it.

You get him back fast.

Roger that.

They're not going to let you take me.

Shut up.

We're doing a pretty good job of it so far.

No, no, no. Not them.

Them.

'This is the police!

'Lower your weapons and raise your hands.

'If you do not comply, we will open fire.'

We're from the embassy.

We're British officials.

'You have five seconds to comply.

'Five...

'..four...'

Any ideas, Mikey?

Hm.

'..three...'

Yeah, let's put the g*ns down and raise our hands.

'..two...'

All right, all right, all right.

'The other hand! Raise the other hand!'

I can't. It hurts.

Pussies.

I'm taking this man into custody.

You can't do that. He's ours.

'Hands up!'

All right, all right, all right.

It's always negotiable.

You take care of yourselves, boys.

sh*t.

'Keep your hands up!'

Un-cuff me.

Un-cuff me, Janjai.

I have him.

Good. k*ll him.

'I can't. Not here.

'Not all these men are mine.'

'He is a liability.'

Don't worry.

He won't talk. I'll make sure he gets...

Lee, we had a deal.

I told you what would happen if you failed.

No failure on my end.

Get him!

They're going to k*ll me.

What do you want to know?

Aargh!

Brilliant. There goes the one link into finding out who's behind all this.

You know what, Mikey?

I predict this is going to end in some big gunfight, a lot of bloodshed, you and me stuck in the middle.

As always.

Well... what are we waiting for?

Philip, in one hour I have to explain to the PM how our own ambassador facilitated the assassination of the North Korean delegates.

I understand.

And how the hell some low-level British thug like McQueen can be behind it all.

'Well, I don't think he is.'

I think he was working for someone else.

'Who?'

Well, I don't know yet.

What I do know is that someone paid him to kidnap Foster's daughter and then forced the ambassador to carry a b*mb through security.

And you couldn't stop it?

We got his daughter back... alive.

But not McQueen.

Well, we had him and then we lost him.

Philip, I understand things happen in the field but if your men aren't up to the task...

They are and you know they are.

We have a lead on McQueen.

I'm on my way there now.

'Bring him in.'

Because the fallout from this is...

Look, I've always backed you in the past.

That hasn't changed so, please, don't let me down.

This is the safe house?

What do you want? The Four Seasons?

sh*t, I'd settle for one season.

Not on our budget.

Ladies, this way.

Yeah.

All right. All right, OK.

Brilliant. Brilliant.

Of course.

Here you go, ladies.

Hello.

Hey, Michael.

How you doing, Mike?

Yeah, good.

Does this stuff even work?

It old but it's good equipment.

I keep it squared away for any operators that come through.

Anything more I can do, you let me know.

Thanks for everything, Tom.

Cheers, mate.

Hey, cheers.

'Officials in Pyongyang are calling the death of 'General Ong Ji-Woo an act of w*r.

'They warn that reprisals will be swift and aggressive.'

Sir.

Anything?

Not yet.

They went in about an hour ago.

I made some calls. The Thai police are saying they don't have him.

That's funny. I saw him walk in.

'Bravo Two, are you in position?'

Yes, I am, Michael. How's your shoulder?

Hey, it's fine, it's fine. I should be out there with you.

'Sit-rep?'

Got eyes on McQueen.

He's on the move.

Go, go, go.

No, no, no. Move!

No. Move!

Move!

We're not going anywhere in that f*cking car.

Hey. Hey.

Bravo Two, are you in pursuit?

'Well, kind of, Mikey.'

What is that?

Benz.

Yeah, yeah, Benz. That's me.

Well, Mr Benz, you follow that police car.

That one?

Wherever they go, we go.

Got it.

Mike, there is still no record of McQueen in the Thai system.

OK. Bravo Two, wherever they're taking McQueen, it's not official.

We cannot afford to lose him again.

So is that an order to take down a Thai police convoy?

No, I want us to retrieve a prisoner that you lost, Scott.

Is something funny?

Yeah, funny, sure.

You take down police convoy with a couple of water pistols.

You don't think that's funny?

Look, you want out, I'll give you 100 baht for this piece of junk.

Hey, you get tuk-tuk, you get nothing.

Driver is everything.

But anyway this sanuk, OK? You know sanuk?

Yeah, it means fun, huh?

Yeah, and I haven't had fun like this since I was a monk.

You were a monk?

Of course. You were not a monk?

Yeah, Scott, you should try it.

Oh, no, I think Michael's got that monk thing covered.

sh*t.

What, you're taking a call now?

Yeah. I've got to, boss.

It's my ex. She never calls me.

Kelly. Yeah, hi.

Don't get too close.

No, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now.

Yeah, working.

Yes, I'm in Bangkok.

Don't lose them, Benz.

Lose them? Never.

I am number one tuk-tuk in Bangkok.

Are you f*cking kidding me? When?

All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thanks.

f*ck me.

I missed my kid's 16th birthday.

He got drunk and boosted a car.

Got on a plane to Bangkok. He's going to be here in 17 hours.

You have a son?

Yeah.

OK, good. I wait here for you, OK?

What? You're not going to come?

What about your sense of sanuk, huh?

Sanuk OK, but if I die, many, many unhappy ladies!

Me too! Hey, for you.

For me?

Yeah, too many people here don't like to pay.

Exactly what kind of monk were you?

Angry kind.

I know what you're doing.

I've put a dozen bodies in here myself.

I made you a rich man.

This is how you want to repay me, yeah?

You snake.

You just another f*cking farang.

You marry a Thai and you think you can be one of us.

But you're not.

I count four SWATs with MP5s.

There's another guy with a sh*t g*n.

So, here's what we... Scott.

Yeah?

Are you ready?

Nah, not really.

He's my own son. I've never even f*cking met him.

And what do I tell him I do for a job?

Sergeant.

I meant this.

Oh, this?

Saving the bad guy from the worse guy?

That's the easy part.

You come to bleed my country.

I bleed you instead.

So what's our plan?

I was getting to that.

What have you got?

Nice.

You ride shotgun.

Now, you listen to me, Changrok.

When Lee's got no more use for you, he will find someone to put a b*llet through your head.

Police are always useful.

Criminals?

Turn over a rock, and a dozen like you.

But I'm sorry about your wife and baby.

Go near my family and I'll cut your f*cking eyes out.

I have my order.

Raise the f*cking bucket! Sir!

These things are a lot more complicated than they look.

Got it.

Here. Cover me. I'll get McQueen.

Hey, scumbag.

All right, dickhead, you going to k*ll me, then, or what?

You don't get off that easy.

Scott, talk to me!

Coming to you, boss.

I got the package. Get up!

Come on.

Changrok! You go near my family, I'll f*cking skin you!

Get up there. On me!

In. Get in!

Come on! Go! Go!

Who begged you to take that girl? Changrok?

Not going to talk?

Don't talk, I will sh**t you.

Do it.

Do it!

Boss?

Just hit him again.

Argh, motherfuck...!

Talk now?

Come on! f*cking talk!

There's only two lives I care about, you f*cking dickhead.

Neither of them are mine.

His wife.

All right, scumbag.

We get your wife safe and you tell us who's behind the kidnapping, the bombing, everything.

You get her safe, I'll tell you whatever you want.

You got that, Mikey? His wife?

Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

Oh, no, no, no.

We've got this one, boss.

Then go. Go.

Get in there. Welcome home.

Stick him in there.

Yeah.

McQueen, you better start thinking about what you're going to tell us.

When my wife is safe.

Move.

I'll tell you one thing.

You guys are going to need more men.

Come on.

You still have operational command until I get back.

Yeah, Roger that, boss.

Can I ask where you're going?

Out.

Stay there, sh*t-head.

Where's he going?

Out. Yeah.

Huh!
Beer? It's my kind of crib.

How was the old man?

You know what, Michael?

He wasn't half bad. Really?

No, seriously.

No, I'm all right, thanks.

All right.

How's this whole operational command going for you?

To tell you the truth, it's not really my cup of tea.

No?

No.

That kind of suits you.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Bet you could get used to it.

Why's that?

Well, old Locke can't run the unit forever, can he?

One of us is going to have to step up.

Yeah, well, it's not going to be me.

And it ain't going to be me.

Yeah.

Seriously, though.

Have you given it some thought?

Just a little bit?

Yeah, I think about it all the time.

Me sitting in here stuck behind a desk while you're out there having all the fun.

Sounds kind of good to me.

You want to tell me what's wrong or are you just going to drink it away?

Well... working on being father of the year in about 16 hours.

That's when Finn lands in Bangkok.

Zero from Bravo Three, we're at the location.

sh*t. Changrok's boys b*at us to it.

Clear.

Zero?

Police already here.

All right, I'm Zero.

'Zero from Brave Three and Four, ' proceed, watch your corners...

'..and your fine little asses.'

Thanks for the tip, Zero!

And you can kiss my ass.

Contact. sh*ts fired.

Malai! I'm here to help you.

My name is Kim Martinez.

Ray sent me.

Ray sent me!

You think I'm stupid?

The police are here. The choice is yours.

He told me to tell you that your daughter's going to be a Muay Thai champion.

Give me the g*n. Give me the g*dd*mn g*n!

Move your ass.

Get up the stairs.

What took you so long?

Housework.

What are you doing here?

Mei, I just wanted to talk to him.

This happened because of you. Please leave!

I don't want you to be talking to him.

Why is that?

Out, out!

Hmm, why is that? What would he say?

If you know something, you have to tell me.

What, so you can bury him?

No, so I can help him.

So, what would he say?

What would he tell me? Do you know?

No.

Don't you dare lie to me!

He k*lled those people, he knew there would be terrible consequences.

To save our daughter's life.

What would you have done for your son?

No-one gave me that choice.

If they had, you would have done the same thing.

Tell me that isn't true.

Somebody has to take the blame for this.

But, Philip, it doesn't have to be Robin.

No, no, it doesn't.

Because we have the man who took Chloe.

You do? Good.

Has he said anything?

No, not yet.

He's just a puppet for someone else, but...

I promise you, Mei, he will talk.

We'll gain leverage and he will tell us everything.

And then we'll find out who's really behind this.

Ray!

Everything is going to be OK, sweetheart.

Everything is going to be OK, honey bunny.

Shut her up, that's enough.

Put her over there.

Satisfied?

Now... talk.

The man I deal with is called Lee.

He's not Thai, he's North Korean.

You're saying a North Korean paid you?

Mm-hmm.

To kidnap the ambassador's daughter and make the ambassador plant a b*mb?

To blow up some North Koreans.

Look, Lee is no ordinary North Korean.

He's Office 39.

As in North Korea's government-sponsored crime syndicate, yeah?

It meant nothing to me the first time I heard it.

Office 39 are pretty much the most ruthless covert organisation on the planet.

Into dr*gs, human trafficking, m*rder, anything that generates hard currency for the North Korean nuclear m*ssile programme.

What doesn't make sense to me is why would they blow up their own diplomats?

So they can blame the West for the incident. Escalate tension... and maybe start a w*r.

The embassy b*mb was just the first step.

We need hard intel, anything that points to their next move.

Where do we find them, McQueen?

They operate out of an abandoned high-rise near the docks.

Lee's main base is the top of the tower.

He's got hacking stations, a crystal meth lab, smuggles fake currency, arms, f*ck knows what else.

The place is locked down.

Guards everywhere.

No way in, no way out.

Hey, Mikey... going up?

Oh, sh*t!

Inside or outside?

Oh, bollocks!

Yeah!

Sir? I've got a face to the name.

I checked Lee Dae-Ho against all known aliases.

If he's Office 39, he probably would've worked through the North Korean First Bureau, which led me to this.

What the hell? How did Changrok know we were here?

Were you tailed, Colonel?

No, I wasn't. I'm sure of it.

I told you, Office 39 know everything.

Will you shut up?

Richmond, give Bravo Team a sit-rep then exfil.

'Bravo team, crib has been compromised.

SWAT incoming.

'We're on the move and going dark.'

Do we need back-up?

Do you want us to abort?

sh*t! Should we abort?

What, you're asking me?

Yeah.

You're the one being groomed for command, Mikey.

Says you.

Haha!

Get in.

Right, take the hard drives. Destroy everything else. We need to move.

Now!

Move!

Martinez...

Malai, you stay close to me.

All right, put your hand there and you keep it there.

Move, go!

Exfil via the roof, one floor up.

Four more floors. We go in, we grab the intel and we get out.

That was already the plan.

It's a good plan.

You know what they say about plans, Mikey.

They never survive contact with the enemy.

You didn't know I knew that one, huh?

Who said it?

Miley Cyrus?

Martinez, cover our six.

Copy that, sir.

We should get these boys to clean the crib.

Contact!

Three, two, one...

Incoming!

Where is that exit?

Exit secure!

Don't even think about it.

Let me out, give me the g*n. Give me that!

Ray! Ray, no! No!

Go! Go!

You've got to go! Come on!

Cover us and I can get her out of here.

Make sure she remembers her daddy.

Please!

Move!

You know you're dying.

If you have a God, pray.

This is the world which you used to live in, Ray.

We are not the bad men.

We are the pawns for the greater power.

Easy for you to say, Changrok.

You believe in reincarnation and all that sh*t.

It's good to believe in something, right?

Yeah.

Well, let's hope you come back as the f*cking cockroach you really are.

See you in the next life, motherf...

25th floor, Mikey. Meth lab.

Follow that wire.

Three, two, one...

Someone told Changrok where we were.

Yeah, but who?

Did you tell the ambassador?

I didn't talk to him. I saw his wife... and their assistant Lawan.

Lawan was there for everything.

Handed over the first message from the kidnappers.

She could have tipped them off about you in the nightclub and she could have followed me from the hospital.

Well, let's question her. Where is she?

She's at the hospital with Foster and Mei.

Richmond?

Yes, sir.

Mrs Foster, I've arranged the car to take you and Chloe back to the residence.

No, I'm not leaving.

I want to stay here with Dad.

He needs to rest and so do you.

And you're not going to listen to a word I say, are you?

At least go with Lawan to get something to eat.

Come. Come on.

You go. It's OK.

I love you.

Come on.

Gentlemen, there's a lot of equipment up here. What's it for?

You two been naughty? Hmm? Online gambling?

Been looking up some p*rn?

Whatever it is, I'm going to find out.

English, do you speak it?

But you understood that.

That's convenient, isn't it?

What's Office 39 doing here?

Whatever it is, this little machine here is going to find out exactly what he's up to.

Yeah, eventually.

Shut up, dude. I'm not Richmond!

Well, maybe you should be. Up! This way.

You take the lead. You, you sit down.

And you, oi! Look that way.

You, look right here.

sh*t!

Scott!

Super notes. What's this, huh? Huh?

You're going to flood the market with your counterfeit currency, is that it?

sh*t!

Scott...

It's Chloe. f*cking scumbags!

"Sasam." "Sasam".

Yeah, that's right, what is "Sasam"?

English, dickhead. We know you speak it.

f*ck you!

I understand that.

f*ck me?

Hey, he's got cyanide! Come here.

Hey! sh*t! I've got him.

You pick up that folder.

Scott, I'm on the north side of the building.

I've got about 12 x-rays inbound.

I could use a little f*cking help here!

Coming up on your six, Mike.

Bravos from Zero, sit-rep.

'We've got the hard drives and the intel from Office 39.'

OK, good job.

We are heading towards the hospital.

RV there.

Nice to see you. They're on my six.

Can you exfil?

Yeah, that's easier said than done, boss.

You said it, Mikey.

'Just make sure you bring me that intel.'

Mate, this is a hell of a time to be checking your Facebook status.

Poor planning, Michael.

Poor planning.

Speaking of which, there must be half a tonne of meth in those barrels.

Here we go.

There is nowhere for you to go. Come out.

You will be unharmed.

North Korea's got a shitty track record on human rights.

That's a no.

Then you will die up here.

I don't think so.

I think you got that the wrong way round, buddy.

You will k*ll me? I serve a higher power.

It would be an honour to die for my country.

Yeah, I can arrange that.

Come out. Now.

NOW!

We're coming, we're coming.

Here's the g*ns.

Here you go.

sh*t!

So...

You had the ambassador k*ll the general of your country.

You need to clear that up for me before we die.

I follow orders, as you do.

Well, in that case...

I want to meet your boss.

You will.

Sorry?

Bring them.

Right.

Not today.

Whoo!

Yeah!

Let them f*cking burn, Mikey!

Let them f*cking burn!

Mate, when a Bangkok tuk-tuk is your go-to exfil plan, I seriously have to question your tactical choices.

This isn't just any tuk-tuk.

This is Benz' tuk-tuk.

Benz, this is Mikey, my partner.

Yeah, I'm best number one tuk-tuk in Bangkok.

Brilliant, mate, brilliant.

Zero? Yeah, we are inbound.

We've got the intel and took out the entire meth shipment in the process.

'Good. I'll brief you when you get here.'

What's Finn's ETA?

Ten hours.

Think I can make it?

Do you want to?

Of course I want to. He's my son.

I'm thinking about taking Julia along.

What, for back-up?

Something like that. Things have been going real nice.

Instant family!

Good.

Thanks, my man. Here.

Ah, you two very good together.

Maybe you two get married, yeah?

Yeah, well, your invite's in the post.

Which one of you will wear the dress?

He will.

She will.

It's Foster's assistant Lawan.

Her file says her parents are South Korean, but we have intel that says her father is from the North.

So she's involved in this?

Well, someone's on the inside feeding them intelligence.

I'm so sorry.

You did what you had to do.

No. After what I did, I deserved to die in that expl*si*n.

Deserved? No.

But you should have. It would have been easier that way.

What?

Colonel Locke?

It's Philip, please.

How are you holding up?

Fine.

We came to see your dad.

I could take you to see him. Hmm?

No, thank you. Why doesn't Chloe take me?

We can talk.

You want to come with us?

Come on.

What are they doing?

Hmm? Oh, that's nothing to worry about.

Chloe, listen to me.

Whatever anyone says about your father in the days to come, he is one of the few men I know who still believes in honour. You got that?

I've thought about this moment for a long time.

In the dark hours, during dinners, drinks, family outings, our life together...

I wondered, Robin, how I'd feel at the end of it all.

I was even scared to think that, at the final moment, the love that I claimed for you would turn itself into something real.

What are you saying?

I suppose I'm almost disappointed.

Because there's nothing there.

What's happening? I don't understand.

I feel nothing at all.

Why are you doing this?

Because it is time.

Better to be an ambassador's widow than a wife.

All the freedom without this.

No, Mei...

My name is not Mei.

My name has never been Mei.

For God's sake...

No.

For the sake of the humiliated and suffering people of North Korea, Robin.

For their sake.

Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

Dad? Dad!

No! No! Chloe...

Dad, no, no!

No, please!
