01x06 - The Showdown

[bunniefuu]

The following programme contains
strong language and violent scenes.

TEBBIT: Tibor Stone
is the most precious asset we have.

His evidence could destroy
Harrison Dempsey and Pegasus.

They designed the weapons on the
drone that attacked the convoy

and I think they've got more.
TIBOR: We've seen them.
They have a factory.

A series of far-right protests has
been in six major European capitals.

It's why they needed Ivanov. It's a
day of action, they're arming them.

NANCY: It's Tebbit.
They found his body in the river.

If you take out Pegasus, someone new
comes in. Someone we can't control.

Mais la prison, pour eux,
c'est pas assez.

The European shipment's ready.
Once the case collapses, we move.

We need to talk to your father.
He needs us. He told me himself.

"The things we'll do together"

Go!

[GROANS IN PAIN]

[COUGHING]

NEWSREADER:
We return now to our top story.

Less than a week
after a deadly ambush

on a prison convoy in North Wales
claimed eleven lives,

attention is now turning to possible
links between the attack

and a high-profile criminal trial

set to conclude today
at the Old Bailey.

The prisoner at the centre of the
ambush remains unaccounted for.

And while the National Crime Unit
has declined to confirm

any operational connection
between the two events,

the timing and the precision
of the attack

have fuelled speculation
of a co-ordinated effort.

We'll be bringing you updates
from the trial

throughout the day as things
progress.

[BABY GURGLES]

[BABY GRUNTS AND SNUFFLES]

Mia?

Oh, God.

Excuse me, um...

...my er... my... my wife,
Amber... Amber Todd...

is she um...

Is she hurt?
No, no.

But there's been a change of plan.

[SOFTLY] Hey.

Hey.

Sorry, who are you?

I'm Kelly.

I'm her mum.

[DOOR BANGING]
Any sign of them?

Nothing.

It's 55 minutes till Stone's
- due in court.
- Here.

So they can't tell us apart.

Are we ready?
Ready for what?

Hm? Stone's nowhere to be seen,
Amber's locked up.

So what's the f*cking point?

This?

Guys, it's over.

Stone's got the NCU
and Pegasus after him.

No one can get through London
with that type of heat.

And now Amber's -
She'll make it.

Three vans. No names, no faces.

We move, we confuse, we commit.

We do it for her
because she'd do it for us.

That's how we win.

We show up.

Together.

Hi.
Yeah, she's in two.

Yesterday afternoon at er...15:49...

...two prison transport officers

collected an inmate
from HMP Westhorn

for assistance in an ongoing
NCU investigation.

The inmate was Kelly Douglas.

Your mother.

She's an escaped prisoner now.

That'll add years to her sentence

when the authorities finally
catch up with her - and they will.

Why didn't you call the NCU before
you attempted the trade for Stone?

My daughter is safe
because I trust my people...

- ...and not yours.
- Well you trusted
Will O'Neill. Now he's dead.

It's quite the trail of destruction
you're leaving behind you, Amber.

Listen to me.

Our entire case
is based around Stone's testimony.

If he doesn't show
by 10am this morning,

the trial is over
and Dempsey will be untouchable.

So I need you to tell me
- were Stone is.
- I can't.

And why's that?

Because I trust you about as far
as I can throw you.

But if you let me out of here...

...I can finish this.

[SCOFFS]

Let you out?

If you really wanna lock these
Pegasus f*ck away, then prove it.

Yeah? I got him this far...

...let me finish the job.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Alright.

But I'll need you to stay in
communication with me at all times.

Yeah.

I'll get you a phone.

And let's get a medic
to take a look at that wound again.

We don't want you passing out on us
now, do we?

♪ Fall into my arms

[TENSE MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

[SIREN CHIRPS]

I need a moment with my client.

[DOOR OPENS]

If Stone fails to present
himself by ten o'clock,

the judge will have no choice
but to move to closing statements.

Without him to join the dots,
the state has no case.

What a shocking waste of tax
payer money.

[CHUCKLES] I'll wait outside.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

Where is he?

Campbell has the entire NCU
trained on finding him.

As soon as he surfaces
she'll call us. I'll be ready.

Then what's the problem?

We were thinking...
We?

Nina and I...about the future.

After you're found not guilty,

the deal closes
and the g*ns are released,

it... feels like the right time...

...to branch out.
To build something of our own.

Define "something".

Offshore investments.

Private security contracts
in Europe and West Africa.

Nothing that interferes with you.
We'd never step on your toes.

Dad, I want to stop being
a burden to you, you know.

We wanted to tell you
out of respect.

I'm grateful to you, um...
for everything you've done for me

but I have ambition and hunger.

I think you saw that -
Give us a moment, will you?

No, I think it's important
that we discuss this together.

Nina, it's alright.

I'm good.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

You're not a burden.

You're my son.

Sure,
it's taken time to know how you fit.

But lately... I'm impressed.

But Nina isn't family.

She's a weapon. Useful, but -
No, Dad, she's more than that.

She's not a Dempsey.

She's not one of us.

The things we're gonna do together.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[ENGINE REVS]

She's on the move.

Get it up on the screen.

She's gonna lead us
straight to Stone.

'She's stopped, ma'am.'

No, she hasn't stopped.
She's dumped the phone.

Switch to the body tracker.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]
Amber, I thought we lost you.

Did he make it? Where is he?
- Where's Tibor?
- He's not here.

We should have been on the move
ten minutes ago.

[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

OK. Let's go!
Yeah, yeah.

Rough night?

You look like crap.

Thanks. You too.

Eyes on the clock, everyone.
We're cutting it close.

Is your daughter OK?

Yeah.

She'll be with Olly now.

I'm ready.

PHIL: OK. Everyone stay on comms.
Keep moving, keep them guessing.

You get him to court,
we'll handle the g*ns.

- OK, can you read me?
- Yep.
- Coming through loud and clear.
- Jade?

Yes, all good.

OK then, this is it.
Be careful out there.

MAN: She's moving too fast to be on
- foot.
- Give me traffic cameras.

CLERK: All rise.

You may be seated.

This is the case of R v Dempsey
before the Central Criminal Court.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

[BIG BEN CHIMES]

[TENSE MUSIC]

AMBER: Court's already in session.
Keep moving.

MARCUS: Roger that,
roads ahead looking clear.

JADE: Copy, on course.

Ma'am, we appear to have
multiple prison vans

in a one mile vicinity
of the Old Bailey

but none of them are showing on the
prison transport vehicle register.

It's the same registration
and ID numbers.

Facial recognition?
MAN: Running recognition now.

Just keep tracking Todd's van

Hello. This is Nancy.
[ON PHONE] My name's Jamal Azumah.

My team and I were working with
Alex Tebbit before he was m*rder*d.

We have something you need to see.
It concerns your boss.

Where are you?
I'm right outside.

MAN: Identifying potential routes
to the Old Bailey, ma'am.

Nancy?

[LOW WHISTLE]

Pegasus is manufacturing


to sell to extremist groups
for a day of action on March 16th.

Alex Tebbit, he put it all together.

Why are you telling me all this?

Because he trusted you.

You need to use this
and stop those weapons.

Just... Just don't go
anywhere near Campbell with it.

She's working for Pegasus.

What?
Tebbit took all this to her.

I think she...

...k*lled him or had him k*lled
because of what he knew.

So be careful.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Oh, f*ck.

AMBER: I'm stuck in traffic.

JADE: No, no, no,
you need to get moving,

Amber, the trial's underway.
We're already behind.

f*ck's sake.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

f*ck.

Something's wrong. I think
they know which van we're in.

How did you get out?
Campbell let me go.

Then she's tracking you.

No, she gave me a phone
but I tossed it.

That's too easy.

There must be another tracker.

Everyone, they're onto us.
We have to regroup.

Head for the Ashfield Underpass.

Trust me.

I've got an idea.
Copy that.

They're coming together.
I can see that.

Stay focused on the body tracker.

The courtroom
is ready to proceed, Your Honour.

Miss Lane, call your final witness.

My Lady, I am afraid to say

that there is an issue
with contacting the witness and -

Miss Lane, this jury's endured
enough disturbance.

I will not allow further delays.
Is your witness here or not?

No, My Lady. He's not.

Then we'll proceed
to closing statements.

There's no sign of Stone.

'Moving to closing arguments.'

Copy.

The state has subjected my client
to months of house arrest,

a relentless invasion of his privacy

and the public destruction
of his reputation,

not just as a businessman, but
as a husband, a father, a citizen.

WOMAN: 'They're entering
the Ashfield Underpass.'

'Where are they? Jesus Christ.'

- Visuals.
- Must be a blind spot.
Do we have any other cameras?

MAN: What cameras are in the
- underpass?
- WOMAN: Negative.

- Thermals?
- Negative.
- Drones?
- Negative, ma'am.

CCTV.That's a negative, ma'amCome
on, someone give me something. Nancy?

Let's get a unit over there.
MAN: Get a vehicle over there now.

Still no movement.
They should have emerged by now.

Eyes on, they just broke cover.
WOMAN: Visual confirmed.

MAN: Todd's in the rear van.

MARCUS: This is your shot, Amber.
Just both of you be careful, OK?

CAMPBELL: They're running
interference. Forget the other vans.

Stay with Todd's tracker.
She's heading for the Old Bailey.

South side. Move.

This is Campbell. I'm authorising
an immediate lockdown of Croxley St.

[BEEPING]
AUTOMATED VOICE:
Warning, automatic barriers.

[TYRES SCREECH]

[TYRES SCREECH]

- Ma'am, orders.
- They're armed.
Repeat. They're armed.

Down! Stay where you f*cking are!
Open the door!

Open the f*cking door!

Ma'am, they're surrounded,
we need to send in a unit now.

Make the call.

Get out of there.

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

[PANTS BREATHLESSLY]

[SCOFFS]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[SIREN WAILS]

[TYRES SCREECH]
Move!

WOMAN: They must've switched vans.

The defence would have you believe
that Pegasus

is a figment
of all of our imaginations

as an intricate web
of shell corporations

operating across
multiple jurisdictions

with influences
at the highest levels.

[LANE CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[TYRES SCREECH]

[HORN BLARES]
Oi!

[CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

[TYRES SCREECH]

OFFICER: Drop the weapon!

OFFICER: Move!

Put it down!
Move!

Weapon down!

Move, move, move!

LANE: Without Harrison Dempsey's
best efforts to build and shape it

over the past two decades...

Miss Lane?

My Lady, my key witness
is now available to give evidence.

In the interest of justice,
we seek permission to call them.

I object, My Lady.

The Crown had their chance
to call this witness.

Allowing him now
risks confusing the jury

and derailing the timeline
of an already complex case.

My Lady,
this witness holds crucial evidence.

His delay was out of fear
for his life. He's ready now.

He deserves to be heard.

Very well, proceed.

This way, ma'am.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

LANE:
The prosecution calls Tibor Stone.

Do you wish to swear
on a holy book or affirm?

I'll affirm.

I do solemnly, sincerely,
and truly declare and affirm,

the evidence I shall give shall be
the truth, the whole truth...

...and nothing but the truth.

CLERK: Thank you.

Mr Stone, let's talk about Pegasus.

You've admitted to 47 assassinations

Including a banker found dead
in his Zurich apartment... [FADES]

[LANE CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[g*nsh*t]
Uh!

[FAINTLY]
You didn't chose the targets.

You carried out the hits,
under direct command.

And the man who hired those commands

is sitting in this court room today.

[FAINTLY] Harrison Dempsey.

I'm sorry...

who?

I've never met Harrison Dempsey.

Uh... [STAMMERS] Mr Stone,
you gave the NCU hours of evidence.

I have been coerced
by the National Crime Unit.

I was dragged here today
against my will

by a prison transport officer,
and told to give false testimony.

I've never spoken to
Harrison Dempsey before in my life.

[ANIMATED MURMURING]

JUDGE: Order.

Order!

[MURMURING CONTINUES]

What the hell just happened?
Well, Tibor saw the light.[CHUCKLES]

It's good publicity for you.

You should waive your fee.

[LAUGHS]

Make the call. Release the product.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

MAN: Congratulations my friend.
Lot of fuss about nothing.

HARRISON:
Are we on? The product is ready.

So is the money.

Feels like a little celebration
is in order. See you this evening.

DECLAN: [ON PHONE] Job's done.
Ship them off and you're free to go.

Thank God. And what about my family.

Safe. Waiting for you.

NEWSREADER: Harrison Dempsey,
the purported head

of the Pegasus crime syndicate

walked free today after his
trial collapsed at the Old Bailey.

[REPORTERS CLAMOURING
AND SHUTTERS CLICKING]

Pegasus will come for you now.

When Amber gets here,
you'll have to run.

[TV NEWS REPORT CONTINUES]

Where will they take Tibor?

Er, safe house... while
they work out what to do with him.

[SHUTTERS CLANK AND WHIR]

- Hey, babe.
- I got as much as I could
from your place.

Your mum called. She's with Olly and
Mia and they're waiting for you, OK?

Amber, what are you gonna do?

Er...

my mum'll know people.

We'll keep moving.

I should never have trusted him.

[SOMBRE MUSIC]

I'm sorry.

Don't.
I am... Don't.

I'm... so sorry.

No.

Yeah. Alright...

So much for triple time, eh?
[SOBS]

[SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Well, we need to know
whether to investigate...

[CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

[DOOR ENTRY BEEPS]

Jo.
[CHATTER STOPS]

How the f*ck did we let this happen?

Minister, maybe we should
talk somewhere more private?

I'm going to need your resignation.

Well, the way I see it,
if Pegasus had reached this deep

the problem isn't just mine,
it's yours too.

Nice try, Jo, but you're done.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

- We're in a meeting.
- Ma'am, I have
the information you requested.

What information?

Proof that Harrison Dempsey

is arming far-right groups
across the UK and Europe

with 3D-printed weapons for a
co-ordinated attack on March 16th.

Do we have a location?

Yes.

Why didn't I know about this?

Because I had to keep it close until
I knew exactly where the g*ns were.

We already had two security
breaches. I couldn't risk another.

I can stop them.

But the answer isn't taking control
away from me, it's giving me more.

Make sure those g*ns
never reach their destination.

And I'll talk to the PM.

Well, good for you.

I'm not doing this for your benefit.

I want to stop those g*ns.

And I'm not winding up like Tebbit.

[CHATTING AND LAUGHTER]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

[CHATTING AND LAUGHTER]

Wow. Look at you.
I miss my g*n.

Take the night off.

We deserve it.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Armed police!
Get on the ground! Move now!

[OFFICERS SHOUTING]

- Get down!
- Armed police! Stay where
- - you are!
- What's happening?
- Get down!

[OFFICERS SHOUTING] The site
is locked down. Weapon's seized.

Congratulations, ma'am.

Give me your arm!

Don't move.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]

We have a problem with Campbell.

Let's step out for a moment.

It appears we've suffered
a small supply issue.

Some of our merchandise was seized.


Jesus. I was told you had a handle
on the NCU.

Harrison?
It's fine.

Some of the 10,000 units that arrived
in Calais can be re-routed.

I'm sure your European clients will
be sympathetic to your UK brothers.

- Arrived in Calais when?
- They were
en route. They should've docked

as soon as we received
the money from you an hour ago.

I just checked in with my people.
There is no sign of them.

Declan, where are they?

Let me go and make some calls.

[TENSE MUSIC]

I'm sure it's fine.

Enjoy the party.

Bad news.

The European shipment's
gone missing. Total f*ck-up.

That seems careless.
I know, right?

[GLASSES CLINK]

[PHONE BUZZES]

Hello?

TIBOR: How are you?

You f*cking lied to me!

I have to run now.

My whole family.

And Harrison is free and you're
on your way to a safe house.

I was... but I escaped.

Where are you?

Prison is not enough for them.

There's a way for you, Olly and Mia
not to have to run anymore.

[g*n CLICKS]

So, do you want the address or not?

[SINISTER MUSIC]

[GASPS SOFTLY]

It's alright. You're so close.

I knew you'd come.

You didn't need to do this.

Your testimony
would have put them away.

We'd never be free
even if they were in prison.

In five years, they'd do a deal,

find a loophole
and then they come looking for us.

This is the only way.

Trust me.

Where's Nina?

She's not here.

He's lying.

Dad, you fu—
Shut up.

You want Nina?
I can serve her up to you.

Then you let me go.

How about that? We both walk away.

But we have another problem?

Dad.

Dad?

He's the one that got you caught
and got me arrested.

Dad, please.
He's all yours.

I'm your f*cking son.

Dad... Dad.

[GASPS SHAKILY]

Tell me to stop and I won't do it.

Tibor, wait.

Look me in the eye,
tell me he's redeemable.

That a man like him is worth saving.

I am. I am. I am.

I am. I can be.

The decision is yours.

Amber, spare me
and it's all forgotten.

You don't want blood on your hands.

You're a good person,
I can see that.

[EMOTIONALLY] I...
Don't let him do this, Amber.

Amber, don't let him do this.

Amber! Amber.
