This is Novin.

You know the drill.

[voicemail beeps]

Hi, Gracie.

It's me, Zoe.

Something's come up.

I could really use your advice.

Look, I know you probably
don't want to talk to me

right now, but...

I don't know who to trust.

So if you'd call me back,
please.

[overlapping chatter]

[♪♪]

Man singing
in foreign language...

[♪♪]

Are you planning to sing?

[tense music]

Guess that's a no, then.

I didn't think you'd show.

I only came here
to warn you to stay away.

This is Russian business.

I know why you're here,

what you're looking for.

If we pool our intel,
work together...

- What are you, a private?
- Lance Corporal.

Let me make it clear.

We do not work with the West.

Not now, not ever.

Captain Sarkova,
you know what's at stake here.

I will not tell you again.

Stovepipe jam,
AKA the smokestack.

After you have fired a round,
the empty casing

fails to clear
the ejection port,

gets trapped
by the returning slide,

and it sticks up like so,

like a little smokestack.

Hence the name.

All right, any questions?

Anybody?
Anything at all?

Anything at all.

[soft dramatic music]

All right.

Uh...

[car door slams]

[♪♪]

Give me a minute.

You guys are just in time
for the final act

where I b*at my head
against an a*mo tin repeatedly

and none of these bastards
even blink.

You'll have to save it
for later, mate.

Suspension's lifted.

- We're being deployed?
- Malaysia.

No details yet.

Sounds like a clean-up job.

Hey, I'll take anything that

gets me back in the field
and away from these assholes.

Figure of speech.

Figure of speech.

[dramatic music]

[♪♪]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[♪♪]

Colonel Alexander Coltrane.

Welcome to Malaysia.

Please adjust your watches.

Well, that's the pleasantries
dealt with.

I apologize if I sound curt,
but we're on the clock here

for reasons which will
very soon become apparent.

[♪♪]

Seems nice.

Lance Corporal Zoe Davis.

Royal Signals, Third Division,
with ambitions to rise

to m*llitary Intelligence.

She was covertly deployed
to Kuala Lumpur, where she was

an attaché to the
High Commissioner investigating

a break-in at the former
British m*llitary barracks.

She was att*cked
in her apartment...

[both shouting]

Before being k*lled
outside the long night market.

Please. [g*nsh*t]
[grunts]

[♪♪]

Russian FSP Special Forces.

We've discovered
that Davis had arranged

an off-the-books meeting
with them.

They were the last ones
to see her alive.

Do we know what she was
meeting with them about?

No, she'd gone dark.
She hadn't reported in

to the High Commissioner
for 24 hours,

and her intel was missing
from her safe house.

Which brings us
to our tickling clock.

The intel device was fitted
with a fail-safe.

Any unauthorized attempt
to access it

causes a signal to be sent out.

And I'm guessing
there's been an attempt.

Fifteen minutes ago.

And that little gizmo
has just managed

to get a fix on the signal.

McAllister, you'll be taking
the lead in the field.

- [clears throat]
- By all accounts,

Davis was a good soldier.

Novin, you knew her
in training,

so I don't have to tell you
that she was well-liked.

To be hunted down and k*lled...

We don't need
a motivational speech, sir.

They took one of our own.

We're on this.

You're on it quietly.

Local IGP has authorized
our presence here,

but not the use of force.

Excuse me.
"No use of force"?

You understand
what that means.

I understand
the individual words.

The past six months,
you've been benched.

Nothing but soft jobs
and training assignments.

This is what happens
when you go dark,

when you terminate
your own CO.

Ah, here we f*cking go.

Temporary command of 20
is a job

I neither asked for
nor particularly wanted.

So the sooner we get this done,
the sooner I get back

to considering early retirement

and you can get back to
disrespecting authority.

How's that for
an inspirational speech?

Actually pretty good, sir.

[dramatic music]

[♪♪]

[phone beeping]

Signals hot in there.

I can't believe
they saddled us with Coltrane.

What, you know him?

I know of him.

He was a big deal
back in the day,

till his nerves got sh*t.

Went all whiskey-tango-foxtrot.

Emphasis on the whiskey.
Awesome.

We're being babysat
by a burnout.

[distant chatter]

Movement center door.

Yeah, that's Sergey Vasiliev.
Alpha Group.

So Davis meets 'em,
they trail her home,

they take the intel,
and they take her out.

She must have
discovered something big.

Should we grab him
and find out?

You're not gonna call it in?
Boss did say not to use force.

Nah, we don't want to disturb
his early retirement, do we?

[soft laugh]

[overlapping chatter]

[Russian accent]
You have cigarette?

- Don't make a sound.
- The f*ck you want?

[grunts]
That was a sound.

How many people in there?
[heavy breathing]

You did just tell him
not to make a sound.

He knows what I mean.

- I don't tell you sh*t.
- See?

All right.
You won't talk, someone will.

Let's go.

[tense music]

[♪♪]

[keys clacking]

All speaking Russian...

[laughs]

Hands! Hands!

[g*ns cock]

Just want to talk.

[♪♪]

- [hollers]
- [grunts]

You do that again,
and you won't get back up.

You understand?

We want to know about
Lance Corporal Davis.

What happened to her
was nothing to do with us.

So you just stole the intel

at the same time
someone else k*lled her, right?

You think you can
intimidate Alpha Group?

Who the f*ck are you?

British m*llitary Intelligence.

[speaking Russian]

You are the assholes
who broke into

the GRU Server Building
in Serbia and blew it up?

Technically, that building
blew itself up, but, uh... yeah.

We're those assholes.

[engines revving]

[tires squealing]

[suspenseful music]

[♪♪]

Now, here's what's
gonna happen.

You're gonna hand over
our intel,

and then you're gonna tell us
why Davis wanted to meet.

Mm, no.
[laughs]

- [speaking Russian]
- [shushing]

[clicking tongue]
Don't say that.

Don't say a thing.
They're bluffing.

They would not start a w*r
over this.

Oh, love, you really don't
know us, do you?

There's no need for this
to turn ugly.

You should have thought
of that before

you came in here weapons ready.

Oh, right, 'cause
you would have greeted us

with open arms otherwise.

Now we'll never know,
now will we?

So walk away.
Last f*cking chance.

[shushing]
[soft footsteps]

Y'all hear that?

- Weapons down.
- Mac.

Have you got
any more people out there?

Listen, whatever kind
of bullshit this is...

Shh.

- Stop!

[grunts]
Sergey!

Exfil!
[both speaking Russian]

They're targeting the intel.

[groans]

Need to get up there
and take them out.

You go.
I'll grab the intel.

Moving.

Move!

Moving.

[♪♪]

We had no tail.
These guys didn't follow us.

- f*ck you.
- Come here!

[both grunting]

Get out the way!

- You okay?
- Yeah.

[groans]
You should see the other guy.

Go, go, go, go!

[chattering in Russian]

I suggest we get smart
and play ball

with the local 5-0.

[♪♪]

[people gasping]

- I didn't k*ll your soldier!
- Huh?

Then how did you get her intel?

I stole it
from her apartment

after she was k*lled.

[grunts]
I went to see her alone!

I didn't want my team to know
I was willing

to make a deal with the West.

I showed up just as she got hit.

- Hit by who?
- I don't know.

Maybe the same people
who just wiped out my team!

[grunts]

[people gasping, chattering]

[head clanks]

just make it quick.

[♪♪]

[brakes squealing]

[indistinct shouting]

[keys jingling]

Okay, real talk.

How would you say
that your first day

as team leader went?

Better than I expected.

[laughs]
Sure.

We got arrested.

You got your ass handed to you
by a senior citizen.

Yeah, I feel like
I really stepped up.

Yeah, I'd say
leadership suits you.

You spoken to Captain Reynolds
at all?

They got her
supervising NGOs in Sudan.

You?

No.

No, I kind of figured

what was done was done,
you know?

I mean, yeah, it's bullshit
that she took the fall

for what happened
with Donovan, but...

You gotta move forward,
you know?

Pretty mercenary.

Is that your opinion
as my team leader?

[door opens]

No, as a mate.

Not you.

Just him.

The one in charge.

Yeah, that's right.

"The one in charge."

[foreboding music]

[♪♪]

Nice work.

Only took you
around three hours in country

to turn a district
into a w*r zone.

This already has
international repercussions.

Do you understand?

Inspector Amy Leong.

To be fair,
we were defending ourselves.

To be fair, I am dealing

with a death count
in double figures.

You were lucky
we showed up when we did.

See if you recognize
any of these faces.

[dark music]

Him.

He was at the ambush.

- You're sure?
- Yep.

Look again.

I never forget
a face I've punched.

Why, what's his story?

[♪♪]

Yun Chau-San Laoshu.

He was the chief enforcer
for the Shun-Ko Triads.

"Was"?

Nobody's heard from him
in almost eight years.

Back in the '90s,
he was responsible

for one of the
most vicious g*ng wars

the city has ever seen.

It ended with Malam Darah,
the Night of Blood.

[choking, gurgling]

He walked into the
headquarters of a rival group...

[sinister music]

[grunts]

And by the time he'd finished,

not a single one was left alive.

So why's he back?

And why hit the Russians?

I was hoping
you could tell me.

We might find some answers

on that intel device
we recovered.

The one we currently have
bagged up in the evidence room?

Don't suppose
you've got a spare key?

Do you know what I said
to my wife yesterday?

I said,
"20 won't cause us any trouble.

"After all, they've got

Alexander Coltrane
heading them up."

There were circumstances
outside of my team's control.

I understand that,
and I have your back.

But after what happened
to Lance Corporal Davis...

Be careful, though.

You know what happened
to their last CO.

Sir, the inspector's
on the way to talk to us.

Right, well,
let me handle this.

They can be
a bit tricky sometimes.

The whole concept
of saving face.

High Commissioner.

Colonel.
Inspector Leong.

I wish to apologize formally
for the inconvenience.

That's a very British way

to describe
a full-scale g*n battle.

What steps can I take to
ensure the release of my men?

They're not under arrest.

Unlike the Russians,

you are here
with our permission.

Let's not regret that.

I'd hate for you
to lose face, James.

When I was deployed in Bosnia,

I had a CO
that I couldn't stand.

The man was a verified idiot.

So I saluted him,
followed orders.

"Yes, sir.
Whatever you say, sir."

And when he retired,
I cycled 25 miles

to throw a brick
through his f*cking window.

You do not go off-mission!

And you do not ever
put me in the dark.

- Understood, sir, but we...
- No, no.

No "buts."

I don't doubt your talent.

But I severely doubt
your discipline.

But we got the intel.

Sir.

- Is it good?
- I mean, it's damaged,

but hopefully we should be able
to get something off of it.

[computer whirring]

[suspenseful music]

[♪♪]

Lance Corporal Davis managed
to intercept communications

between Alpha Group
and Russian command.

[♪♪]

Turns out they were looking
for a plane of theirs.

A Tupolev Tu-160 went down

in the South China Sea
three days ago.

They kept that a secret.

You don't send in
elite Russian operatives

to file an accident report.

No, you don't.

But you do send them in

if something was taken off
the plane.

Davis mentions Alpha Group
are looking for

a missing package.

Does she identify
what it was?

[♪♪]

The data's corrupted.

Take weeks to rebuild.

But whatever it was,

it was serious enough that
Davis lost her life as a result.

We need to find out
what was on that plane.

So I gotta ask.

What happened with Sarkova?

She got the drop on me.
I gave chase.

And, uh, well, I wouldn't say
I let her go.

- I hope not.
- It was a public place.

Security was closing in.

Pulled my sidearm.

Wasn't a good look.

So do we think
the Russians k*lled Davis?

I don't know.

Guess it depends on what
she found out about 'em.

If I wasn't such a bitch
about it, we might know

what that was already.

What does that mean?

The night she got k*lled,

she'd called me

to get some advice on the meet
with the Russians and I, um...

[sighs]
I ditched the call.

[somber music]

- We've all done that.
- Yeah.

[♪♪]

But I, um,
I let it get personal.

I met her earlier this year
when I was running that

engineering
maintenance training, and...

you know, we hit it off,
had a fling.

It was fun, but...

she wanted more.

A lot more.

You know how it is.

- Uh...
- I don't.

I mean, if you want
to talk about it...

Yeah, we'd be happy to listen.

I mean, I'd be
happy to listen.

[laughs]

Dickheads.
[snickers]

You know this isn't your fault, right?
[cell phone beeps]

Maybe there was something
I could have said

that... could have changed things,
you know?

Could have saved her life.

Son of a bitch.

Well, don't let my feelings

get in the way
of your telephone time.

- What's that?
- Nothing.

All right,
we stay on mission.

Let's focus on the Triads and
finding this missing package.

I just hope the Russian
doesn't

come back and
bite us in the ass.

[fan rattling]

[suspenseful music]

[♪♪]

[door opens]

[door closes]

- [sighs]
- Katrina.

Speaking Russian...

Speaking Russian...

[groans]

[♪♪]

[weak laugh]

[laughs]

[tense ambient music]

[♪♪]

The Shun-Ko Triads.

At the top, Kim Wei-Fong.

Into his third decade
as leader.

Our friend Laoshu
is his enforcer.

You ask me, this sounds
like a paid job for the Triads.

Muscle for hire.

But hired by who?

Which brings us
to the million-dollar question.

What was on that plane that was

so valuable
it was worth k*lling over?

I think we can
speculate all we want,

but we're never
gonna know the answer, are we?

No, we won't, but he will.

Wan Shui-Lin,
Triad operations officer.

Income, expenditure,
everything the Shun-Ko do,

it goes through him.

So if anyone knows
what was on that plane

and where it is now,
it will be Wan Shui.

Let's get eyes on him.
Snatch and grab.

Aye, but there's the rub,
Sergeant.

The Triads won't ever risk him
being out in the open.

[computer chirps]

The Hanto Building.

Top five floors belong to.

Shun-Ko front corporations.

That's also where Wan Shui
works, eats, and sleeps.

He's been a prisoner
of the Shun-Ko for eight years.

He's never out of their sight,
under 24-hour guard.

Get the intel and
get out as quietly as you can.

Alert security,
and you'll have

every Triad in the area
on you in minutes.

Before you go...

[tense music]

High Commissioner
would like a word.

Thank you.

I imagine the Colonel's
already mentioned

the need to be discreet.

Only about 100 times.

Well, let me
make it 101, then.

Considering our permissions
from local authorities,

if anything were to go wrong...

We'd be on the first flight
home.

Yeah, we got that.

I think we're good to go, sir.

- Yeah.
- Well, good luck.

Cheers.

Lance Corporal Davis...

She didn't tell you
she was meeting the Russians?

No.

She, uh, decided
to keep that from me.

Even though she was meant
to be reporting back to you.

[♪♪]

Apparently some of your lot
have an issue with authority.

[♪♪]

[suspenseful music]

[♪♪]

[panel beeps]

And we're good.

We're set and ready
for insertion, over.

Security cameras are offline.

- That was quick.
- Well, it wasn't me.

They were already deactivated.

Proceed to east office.
32nd floor.

They're good soldiers.
They'll get it done.

Well, call me
if there's any developments.

And keep your nerve, yeah?

[♪♪]

We've all got a bad feeling
about this, right?

With a bloody cherry on top.

Approaching stairs.
Copy.

32nd floor, on me.

[♪♪]

Yeah, bad feeling confirmed.

[♪♪]

[machine g*nf*re]

g*nf*re coming
from target area.

[♪♪]

- Tell me where it is.
- [groaning]

Tell me or I'll blow
your f*cking brains out.

- Sarkova!
- [whimpers]

w*apon down, now!

Oh, this is not fair.

Normally I would have
Sergey and the others,

but they are dead.

Then be smart.

Down!

[hisses]
f*ck.

[♪♪]

[sighs]

What was taken
from the Russian plane?

Don't you ever understand?

This is Russian business,
not yours.

That's all right.
We're gonna find out anyway,

'cause Wan Shui here's
gonna give us all the details.

Aren't you, mate?

Read it.

Speaking Cantonese...

Speaking Cantonese...

What's he saying?

[both speaking Cantonese]

You didn't bring a translator?

Oh, you want
to translate something?

Translate this:
f*ck you.

[men speaking Cantonese]

Contact!
[silenced g*nf*re]

[men shouting]

Give me a w*apon.

- [groans]
- Come on!

This is bullshit!

- Clear!
- Clear!

So much for
getting out quietly.

Let's get the intel
and get out of here.

Speaking Cantonese...

Speaking Cantonese...

sh*t.

I know what the Russians
are looking for.

A KH-151
with a 250 kiloton warhead.

Your people lost
a f*cking nuke?

Not "lost."

Stolen.

Someone was on board
who wasn't meant to be.

k*lled the crew, pilot.
Plane went down.

Do we know where the Triads
are keeping this m*ssile?

[speaking Cantonese]

Bravo, you've kicked
the hornet's nest.

Vehicle outside.

Tangos inbound, front entrance.

They'll be locking down
main exit points.

They're gonna be all over you
in the next 60 seconds.

You'll need to find
a different exfil.

Copy that.
[radio hisses]

Bravo?

[static, feedback]
[muffled] Brav...

Comms down.
Might be jamming the signal.

All right, so we've got Triads
locking the building down.

Emergency stair access
on the roof.

Get over to the back stairwell.

They come in the front...
We go out the back.

All right,
you guys go secure it.

I'll follow when Wan-Shui here
gives me the m*ssile locale.

[suspenseful music]

Watch your back with babushka.

- Got it.
- [mutters]

On me.

[♪♪]

That's where
they're hiding the nuke?

[speaking Cantonese]

All right, my man.

So are we going to share
the location or what?

Yeah, yeah, sure,
it's two miles east

of kiss my ass.

Now, who's paying the Triads?

Uh...
[tsks]

[speaking Cantonese]

- King... Kingfisher.
- "Kingfisher."

- BOTH: Kingfisher.
- Is that... okay.

Is that a person
or is it a company?

[speaking Cantonese]

Can't we have
this conversation later?

Contact left!
[g*nf*re]

Come on, time to go.

[whimpers]
Please, please.

Bravo, do you copy?

Bravo, come in.

Comms check.

[static hisses]
Still nothing.

Hey, you know that message
I got earlier?

Said it was nothing?

Yeah, it was kind of something.

My wife wants a divorce.

I'm sorry, "your wife"?
You're married?

Emergency stairwell,
far corner.

Moving.

I mean,
we haven't spoken in, like,

three or four years.

Down.

[indistinct conversation]

sh*t,

Novin better get up here fast.

[♪♪]

This was your plan?

To come up here and die?

Feel free to f*ck off
any time, Sarkova!

[♪♪]

It was a sh*t plan.

[♪♪]

[grunts]

- Every exit's compromised!
- Are we screwed?

Kind of feels a little bit
like we're screwed!

Nearly out!

[♪♪]

Yeah, I'm out too!

Yeah, turns out
we're f*cking screwed.

Guess it was a sh*t plan!

Can you hear that?

[helicopter blades whirring]

[hollers]

- Moving!

[men screaming]

[♪♪]

[groans]

Novin, cover fire!

Go!

Move it!

[♪♪]

What are you waiting for?

Get up there!

[♪♪]

- Let's go, kid!
- sh*t.

Novin, let's move!

[men shouting]

[groans]

Let's go!
Move, move!

[♪♪]

Come on!

Give me your hand!

In!

She's in!
Let's go!

Okay, go, go, go!

That's how you make
an entrance, boss!

[♪♪]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[foreboding music]

[♪♪]

Hey, boss.

Turns out we're chasing
a stolen nuke.

[♪♪]

Okay, the plan?

Maybe not so bad.
