Elliot...
..what do I always say?
Pawns can't be kings.
But what can they be?
Free.
That's right.
Free to roam.
No heavy crown weighing us down.
ANNOUNCER: Round three.
(CROWD CLAMOURING)
Listen, I have to take a fall

Don't worry.
It's gonna look a lot worse
than it really is.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
I love you, son.
You never forget that.

Ow! Ow!
I love you, son.

Who knows he's here?No-one, sir.
All yours.
(LIGHT BUZZING)
Please confirm your name.
Elliot.
Elliot Carter. I'm an undercover
police officer-
Just the questions I ask, please.
You were present at the Hotel Reno
last night, correct?
Correct.And you came in contact with
Sean Wallace at what time?
Around...0400, 0430.
Between those two times.And you left
the location at what time?
I don't know.You don't know?
I didn't stop to check my watch when
your people started sh**ting at me.
You didn't.What department you say
you were with again?
Sean Wallace blew up a building
two days ago.
That's an act of terrorism.
Terrorism?Hmm.
So, I need to know why you went to
meet him last night.
(BAGS RUSTLING)
(STRAINING)
What's that? What's in the bags?
Now you are asking
the right questions.
What's going on?!
NEWSREADER: There's been reports of
an expl*si*n in the city tonight
at the Belvedere Tower.The emergency
services arrived in record time...
As the area was cleared, the extent
of the damage became apparent.
News of the Belvedere Tower collapsed
has overshadowed
what should've been a morning of
celebration for Nasir Afredi
and his party. Here's what the new
Mayor of London had to say.
I come to office in the advent
of a disaster
which has shook London.
Thankfully, the recently-completed
Belvedere Tower
had not yet opened, and no lives
were lost.
The emergency services have been
working through the night
to eliminate any immediate danger to
our civilians,
and, as always, the people of London
have come together in the spirit...
Thanks very much. We'll be in touch.
REPORTER: Mr Afredi, do you have any
more information
about what could cause a new building
to collapse?For now,
I can confirm a thorough
investigation is underway
to determine the cause of the blast
which took down Belvedere Tower.
So I ask you all to remain vigilant,
and as your new mayor, I will do
everything in my power
to protect this city form harm.
(HELICOPTER HOVERING)
His death's on us, Vicky. Anthony was
a good cop.
How do I explain that to his family?
Tell me, how the f*ck
do I explain that, Vicky?I just need
you to listen to me.
I know, wait-
I'm going after Elliot.
What?He can stand trial with
Sean Wallace.
I want you to talk to
Elliot's girlfriend,
Shannon Dumani. Get as much
information from her as we can
before they shut this thing down.
I'm sorry, Vicky. I know how much you
put into it.
(SIGHS)
(PEOPLE RECITING THE LORD'S PRAYER)
(GROANS)
ALL: Amen.I don't know
where Sean is.
Give me time.
I'll get him away from London.
He sh*t me, Marian.
He could've k*lled me.
But he didn't.
For Christ sake, Ed, we're family.
(SCOFFS) He took down their building.
They want you and Sean dead, Marian.
And if I don't deliver that,
Alexander dies.
Tell me where he is and I'll spare
Billy and Jacqueline.
(CLUB MUSIC PLAYING)
You've got our investor's attention.
Good.
Soon I'll have
the world's attention.
Every building I take down will
bring more questions.
They want to meet.
Face to face, make a deal.
Face to face?
Yeah.OK.
I'll send you my address.
We go together.
OK, brother?Yeah.

Sean, mate, where the f*ck are you?
I'm out here by myself.
Look, we're gonna be stronger
if we're together.
I don't know where you are, so...
..call me, please.
(SIGHS)
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!
Reno, Reno, Reno.
That's gonna bug me. (CHUCKLES)
In what state is Reno situated?
Nevada.
OK. Let's get back to it.
Why did you run when the officers
arrived on the scene, Elliot?
For my safety.Police have the right
to sh**t a suspect who runs.
You know that. So why did you
sh**t back?
I was confused.Or, maybe you were
acting on an order.
What?Who gave you the order to run
when the police entered
the building?No-one.
Mr-No-one. I don't know-(GRUNTS)
Answer him.(GROANS)
Come on, now. Who ordered you?
You're pissing me off, Elliot.
No-one ordered me! I don't know what
you're talking about.
Talk to a Victoria, Detective Cheung.
She's my handler. Or ask DCI Hawks,
talk to Hawks.
He'll back me up.Hawks? Oh.Talk to
Hawks, he'll tell you everything.
Hawks. Yes, your superior, Hawks.
No. I don't think he will.
We're your only friends now, Elliot.
You're on your own.
No. No, I didn't do that.
I didn't do that!
No!(GRUNTS)
I wanna know about the people who
invest in the Wallaces.
I wanna know if you had
any contact with them
And I wanna know who the f*ck
you are working for now.
Because it ain't
Her Majesty's Police.
Mr Kapadia?
Here's where we're at. I've been on
the phone to Asia all night
and our clients have been completely
reassured that their assets
are all safe. When America wakes up
I'll be on the phone first thing
to New York, and then the west
coast. You know, our underwriters,
they've been working overtime.
Guys, I'm telling you,
there is nothing to worry about.
Mr Kapadia, your time has run out.
We can help you,
or you can help yourself.

You're a very kind minister. My son

Right. Thank you.
Henry, I'll walk the last block.
Who won? Nasir Afredi? Who won?
Yes, actually, Nasir is my son.
Aw, he's such a lovely man. I just
met him at the victory party.
You must be so proud of him.I am.
Asif Afredi.
Pleasure to meet you.
And what is your name, my dear?
Nasir got my vote.
We're all looking forward to hearing
him speak.
Oh, Mr Afredi, are you after Nasir?
He took a meeting with a journalist.
They're upstairs.
Thank you.
Nasir. Oh, thank God.
I don't know what I was thinking.
(SOBS) (SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Well?
It's done.
You got what you wanted.
I feel nothing. Nothing at all.
At least honour his death
with satisfaction.
You are judging me?
Why did you come back here?
I've helped you get Asif.
What do you expect from me?Nothing.
I'm going back to Kurdistan.
(SCOFFS) I'm not like you.
I only wanted to hurt one man.
All the other bloodshed's
because of you.
You're prepared to let your own
family die?
That's the reality of my struggle.
We suffer.
This life's a choice for you.
I didn't choose this.
Every penny I make goes back
to Kurdistan.
I stand for the freedom of my
people. Who do you stand for now?
Your business is over, your family's

Why are you here?

I'm worried about him.
He's on his own, Billy.
Listen, Bill, you're safe.
I know you are.
But he's not. Everyone's turned

hurt him.
Just...tell me where he is
so he doesn't have to be alone.
Bill. Billy.
There's an old hotel
by Dagenham Docks.
It got ruined in the '70s, it's now

I keep one for when I need

He's just finished up on a call

Stay on him. We're on our way.

With any luck he'll lead us

How did we get here?Finn.
Finn Wallace charmed us

Can I have a word?
I want to know about your ex husband,

What about him?
You say he's in prison, but I
couldn't find any of his records.
I did find the missing person's
report his mother filed in 2016.
People go missing all the time.
Who are you protecting, Shannon?
Your dad?
Your brother?
You've got a good poker face.
Could use someone like you
on the inside.
I need an informant.
You are out of your mind.
And I would hate for social services
to think that there was
anything wrong with Danny's welfare.
You f*cking thr*aten me again-
I don't give a f*ck
how some wife b*at at his end.
But if leaning on this
gets you on my side...
then, yeah.
I just want Sean Wallace, Shannon.
I only told Elliot he was in prison.
Does he work for you?
Elliot's no longer on the case.
He f*cked up too many times. You'll
never see him again.
So he's police?
Was.
(EXHALES)
Look, I know you're not like
your family,
and I know you just wanna protect
Danny, I get it,
but is this really the best life
you want for him?
Think about it.
Come and work for me and I promise
I will get you both out.
Does anyone else know that you're
here, cos...
..if my dad finds out...No.
Just between us.
Sorry, I just need a moment.

We're a hippie commune.
I'll look after that for you.
So you got to Billy?
We're worried about you, mate.
That's sweet of you, Elliot.
Belonged to Anthony, that undercover

Dead, along with Colin, apparently.
Had some interesting messages, too.
Messages about you.
And the people you work for.
(g*n COCKS)You f*cking snake.
You disgust me.
There's nothing worse
than your kind.
I can think of worse.
I let you into my home
the day of my dad's funeral.
You snivelled your way into my
family using some lie
about a dead wife and child.
It's not a lie.
Who are you?
Why do you want to take me down?
It's not personal. You're a criminal.
You have to request to go
undercover.
You didn't have a life, did you?
Now you're f*cking
a gangster's daughter.
Is that exciting for you?I don't
give a sh*t what you think about me.
My whole life I've seen
people like you
get away with it.
Do you think you're special?
Different rules apply.
And you're right.
Most of the time.
This some righteous mission?
Nah.
It's just a mission.
I think you've enjoyed this job.
A man taking down the Wallaces.
Gave you a purpose.
Otherwise you're just a nobody.

special lined up for you.

Now I need you to listen to me
really carefully.
(WHISPERS INAUDIBLY)
..these words.
Do you understand?
Don't leave me.
Thank you.
Hello, Elliot. Thirsty, huh?
I need to make a call.What the f*ck
did you just say to me?
If you want me to tell you about them
I need to speak to my dad.
Whoa, whoa.
I need to say goodbye.
Do not f*ck with me, Elliot, hm?
No more chances now.

Hello?
Hello, Dad.Elliot?
Is that you?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's me.
Where have you been?Dad, listen.
I've been calling and calling.
I've got into a bit of a scrape,
haven't I?
It's gonna look like I took a fall
in the third...
..but I'm gonna take it all the way.
Where are you, son?
Do you remember that place
we used to talk about travelling to?
Yeah, sure. I know where you mean.
How about you make a head start.
So soon?Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll catch up with you.
Oh, Dad...you were wrong
about one thing.
Pawns can be kings.
I love you, Dad.
Never forget that.
I've kept to my word.
Now you keep to yours.
Hmm? Tell me everything you know
about them.
When I found you were I wanted to
cr*ck your skull open.
Then I realised you might be
the only way
for me to get what I want.
My father was hiding cash for our
so-called investors.
Funds meant for hospitals or schools
in some piss-poor corner
of the world.
Real corruption.
A building I blew up,
80% of the capital used came through
tax havens.
All the people involved.
All the companies.
Years of information,
years of implication on there.
Why are you doing this?
I got it wrong.
I've been punishing the wrong
people.You want me to go after
the people you work for?
The buildings they own.
There are bodies in the foundations.
Work with me.
These people will never see the
inside of a prison, Elliot.
They build them.
Now you sound righteous.
I'm on a f*cking crusade.
What about Alexander?
He already chose
his side of the fight.
Stop. Raise your arms.
I'm asking you to look beyond
the circus.
Take down the real showmen.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Alex Dumani.Let him in.
Brother.How are you?
I need to speak to Sean alone.
No, Elliot stays.
We're all staying around here.
Say what you've gotta say.
I know there's no investors waiting.
You f*cked it, Sean.
What did you expect to achieve,
directly attacking our investors?
The Wallace organisation's hanging
on by a thread.
They k*lled Finn, now Jeevan.
You can't win.
What? Something funny?Yeah.
You still think any of this means
anything?
Wake up.Think about what we built.
It's all sand and lies.
And billions of f*cking pounds!
Which we could've lived on!
Spent, invested,
done whatever the f*ck we wanted!
You know, people k*ll for this.
My father must've recognised himself
in you.
Your filthy greed.f*ck you.
If you want to take his place...
you're gonna need to be good at more
than just numbers.
If you do this, Alex,
you'll never come back from it.
I promise you.
No-one else knows you like I do.
The sh*t we've survived.
There's no-one who can plan it
like us.
No. No way.
(g*n COCKS)It's too late, Sean.
If you k*ll me, Alex...
..you'll be alone.
You know that, don't you?
Think you can do it?
You're not an evil bastard
like your dad.Shut up.
How many has he k*lled?
f*cking gravedigger.
We're nothing like our fathers,
Alex.It don't f*cking matter now,
does it? Cos I don't have a choice.
Yeah. Yeah, you do.
Took down by your family.
No, you have a choice.
You're the smartest person
in the room.
Cleverest man I know.
We can work this out, Alex.
Just me and you.
Think about it.
Really think about it.
I have thought about it.
I f*cking love you, Alex.
Shut the f*ck up!
Shut up!
We started together.
We can f*cking take them down
together.
Me...and you.
It's all right. It's all right.
No!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Sean Wallace must never stand trial.
Alex Dumani must remain in play.
That is non negotiable.
