Let's go.

You're
not my target.

Is there anyone
else with you?

Answer me!

No.

I know what
you're doing.

I was trying to
do the same thing--

depersonalize
at all times.

They're not
real people.

Your target's name
is Peter Evans.

He's a grandfather.



He's here to save his
family, all right?

Not threaten Israel.

What do you know?

I know that you don't
have to kill him to end it.

Just need to rescue
some hostages.

Will you do that
with me?

No.

It might help you
sleep better at night.

I sleep fine.
Thank you.



Fuck, no!

Aaah!

Stonebridge,
are you all right?

Yeah.

Evans--where is he?

Is he safe?

There was an ambush.

Where's Evans?

Jesus.
Get in the car.

Uh.

Go!

Move.

This is from
a CCTV camera near

the exfil point.

We tried tracking
where they went,

but there was
insufficient coverage.

I mean, you should have just let
Mossad kill him rather than

lose him like this.

And how the hell did
they get a tracker on you?

I don't know, ma'am.

It must have been
at the airport,

but they could have got
one on you, Michael...

We sweep this place every day.
We are clean.

I'm fine.

Michael,
you need to rest.

Yeah, but that's not
true, is it?

We have to find Matlock and his
men and take them all out.

I will decide
who the target is

and when you are
fit for duty.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, if Knox needs Evans,
it can only be

to build a bomb.

We need to find out
exactly what he is planning

and shut it down fast.



Mr. Evans.
Conrad Knox.

Welcome.

Your delayed arrival has
upset our schedule somewhat,

but I'm sure
we'll catch up.

Please.

I'm not going anywhere until
I've seen my daughter

and my grandson.

I want to know
they're ok.

Well, then follow me.

Your son-in-law's
death was a tragedy.

It was a terrible mistake that
should never have happened,

but rest assured I'll do
everything in my power

to make amends.

New house,
the finest schools--

Melissa and Harry will
want for nothing.

Apart from a husband
and a father.

All revolutions
have their martyrs.

We need to look
forward, not back...

Make David's sacrifice
worthwhile.

You'll understand
soon enough.

What we're about to
achieve is something

you will be proud to
have been part of.

Ah.

Harry!

Granddad!

- Dad.
- Oh, sweetheart.

Dr. Willow...

30 minutes.

Yes.

Please proceed immediately

to research desk 6.

Hey.

You, uh--you didn't get tagged
at the airport, did you?

No.

Ah.

I fucked up, Mike.

I ran into that Mossad
chick in a bar.

I fucked up, too.

How?

I saw Hanson.

I saw him, and I just left Evans
like he didn't even exist.

I just fucking
left him there, mate.

About Hanson...

Huh?

I knew he was here.

You what?

Richmond flagged him
after some bar fight.

Mike, she gave me
the heads-up.

When were you fucking
gonna tell me this, huh?

Don't know.

I didn't know
how you'd react.

Yeah, well, if I'd have
known beforehand,

I'd have handled it
better, Scott.

What, "We're gonna
find Matlock

and take care
of his whole crew"?

That's you
handling it?

Who the fuck are you to tell me
what I can and can't know, huh?

So what happens when
we go kicking down doors

and you see him?

Hmm...

I'm fine.

The mission--
it always comes first.

Hanson--he's just
a bonus, yeah?

You've got to
trust me.

You need to get
to a phone

and tell someone what's
happening.

I will.

I'm just playing
them along till then.

What does he
want from you?

How have they been
treating you?

We get moved around
a lot, but yes,

Harry has been given more
toys than he can play with.

I haven't told
him...

about David.

Mm-hmm.

I just said...

that he's been hurt

and he won't be
joining us yet.

Time's up. Sorry.

Mossad
on the phone.

I'll take it
up there.

Ok.

You two, go
home and get some rest

Yeah.

Dalton.

They serve themselves
and the corporate--

Here's some more information
on the Conrad Knox Foundation.

Cheers.

Is this you proving how on
mission you are, Michael?

Well, if I'm confined
to desk duties,

might as well make
the hours count.

You coming for a beer?

No, thanks.

You?

Michael, is there
anything else you need?

Just a heads-up on the man who
murdered my wife next time.

Every weapon we destroy
sends a message.

It says "Have faith."

It says "We're winning"--

not to the warlords
but to the people.

It says "Believe."

It's open.

Trouble sleeping?

Mmm.

You've lost Evans.

Your boss has told
mine Section 20

won't protect him
anymore.

He's an open target.

So, what are you
doing here, then?

Fuck.

Ahh!



Disease is the
biggest factor inhibiting

the development
of this continent.

But with the vaccines
that these laboratories

produce, we can start
to put every African nation

back on its feet.

Conrad Knox, 15-12-53.

Cleared for access
level -35.

You were let down,
Peter...

By men who had neither your
vision nor your principles.

And now you have
the opportunity

to rewrite history..

Doors opening, level -35.

You are entering
a restricted area.

Your life's work...

Hidden away
by a couple

of Apartheid
ministers...

Now ready

to atone for the sins
of that vile regime.

Now... with this,

and your help,
we can liberate

this continent
and raise Africa

to a point where its
voice is not just heard,

but listened to
all over the world.



You still think
I'm using you.

To get to Evans?

I don't care if you are.

We don't know
where he is.

So the best way
to stop him is

to rescue his family.

Except you don't know
where they are, either.

Yeah, you got me there.

Why didn't they send you
after Knox?

He's our key target.

Maybe they will.

Hmm.

There's always
one more person

to kill.

You could just walk away.

Disappear.

They can't hand you
that next file

if they can't find you.

What?

Did you ever put your
gun in your own mouth?

That's the day
you should quit.

It's our mess.

We helped build
those weapons.

It's not your mess.

Walk away.

To where?

Promise me
you'll try.

For Evans.

He needs to examine
one to make sure

the technology
is compatible,

but I want them back, and
the other components

transported out as
soon as he's ready.

Well, we've
got a bird on standby

to start the evac.

Just be
careful.

The first load has been
moved from the vaults already.

Sir...

I strongly recommend
you move your own

departure date forward
as well.

We're not just dealing
with 20 anymore.

- Hey.
- Mossad's a whole new ball game.

What--

We can't assume
that they're not aware

of your involvement also.

If that is the case,

then their failure to kill Evans
only increases the chance

that you or your daughter will
become their primary target.

Uh!

We need to shut down
and move on

as soon as possible.

Uh.

Let Evans finish
the tests at the new location.

Uh!

I don't act according to
other people's agendas.

They defer to mine.

If there's a security
risk, it's your job

to neutralize that
situation.

Uh-uh.
Don't do it.

Relax.

I'm not here
to kill anyone.

Craig Hanson,
Mr. Knox. Ex-SAS.

I believe I've highlighted a
problem in your security.

He's not
a team player.

I'm not interested
in camaraderie.

I want protection,

especially when I'm holding
a case of nuclear triggers.

We can't use him.

He's a known fugitive.

He killed the wife
of a Section 20 operative

who's now pathologically
gunning for him.

Isn't that precisely
how you got Evans back?

He's unbalanced.

He took out the whole
of your security detail

single-handedly.

Hire him.

Miss Knox.

My name is
Michael Stonebridge--

Victor, relax.

May I have a word?

I'm sorry.

You'll have to contact my PA,
make an appointment.

Yes, but that won't
benefit your fundraiser,

which is why I thought
I'd talk to you direct.

Sorry.

I'm an active soldier
in the British Military.

I fought in Sierra Leone,
Rwanda, Sudan.

I've been injured
several times.

Look, I think your
decommissioning program is

the single biggest step
towards peace

that this continent
has ever witnessed.

If you think it would be
helpful, it would be my honor

to tell all of your
guests just that.

Come on. Help me
find this fucking thing.

Scott, a word.

You missed the ones
of us fucking.

She's a Mossad agent.

An assassin.

Yeah, who wants
to quit.

And if she does,
then Evans lives.

Interesting, because you're
the reason we lost Evans

in the first place.

You are a liability,
Scott.

I made a mistake,
all right?

It happens.

If you want to can my ass,
then go right ahead.

Let's see how well you
do without me.

Well, it could hardly
get any worse.

No, it fucking couldn't, because
right now we got nothing.

We got no leads,
no ideas.

Knox is running rings around
you, and I'm the liability?

Back up, soldier.

Fuck that.

I've given this unit
everything, including Curtis.

You remember him?

We chewed him up and just
spat him out, didn't we?

And for what?

For fucking nothing.

Is that what we're all
worth to you, too?

It's all
any of us are worth.

Yeah.

So don't kid yourself
that it's any different.

Now let's cut
the sob story, shall we,

and get on
with the job at hand?

And what job would that
be, exactly, ma'am?

There's a new
shipment of weapons arriving

from Sierra Leone.

More decommissioned arms for
the Conrad Knox Foundation.

I would like you, Richmond, and
Baxter to follow the trucks

in case any get
diverted en route.

Fine.

Thank you.



Great work.

Congratulations,
Miss Knox.

Thank you so much
for coming.

Thank you.
It's lovely to talk to you.

Very impressed.

Thank you. Cheers.

You're quite the hit
for a gate-crasher.

Yes, well...

I've had 3 pledges
of support already.

I may have to
use you again.

My wife would
love it here.

Oh, you're married?

She was shot
and killed.

It's just another reason
why what you're doing

is so important
to me,

why I want to help.

Great speech.

Thank you.

You know, it's
ironic, isn't it?

Here you are, trying to
make this country safe,

and yet you need armed
guards to do it.

That's my father's
choice, not mine.

Really?

And what makes him think
you're in such danger?

It's just
a precaution.

Whoa. Two trucks
just diverted.

They're no longer headed to
the decommissioning site.

That road leads
to the docks.

Bravo team in pursuit.

Roger that.

Text
Stonebridge.

I want him updated on all
details as soon as they happen.

The foundation has actually
been running for 8 years.

My father's biggest
fundraising event to date--

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Might I have a word?

Uh, yes.

Thank you.

The convoy
of arms from Sierra Leone--

are they all going to the same
depot to be decommissioned?

Yes, of course.

They should be
on their way now.

How do you know that?

I'm working with British
Military Intelligence.

We have growing evidence that large
quantities of the foundation's weapons

are in fact being
secretly stockpiled.

What?

The weapons from Rwanda
were never destroyed.

This handgun was used in a
shootout at the Cape Town Airport

3 days ago.

That's impossible.

We think by this man--
Karl Matlock.

You ever seen him before?

No, I haven't.

What about your father?

Do you think
he'd recognize him?

You'd need to ask
him yourself.

Miss Knox, I want to protect
what the foundation stands for,

not just bring down
the people corrupting it.

What people?



At the port, Duncan
Dock, yard 3.

I want you to
sit tight and observe.

We'll contact
the South African Police,

let them
make the arrests.

Copy that.

There's the money
shot.

Got that one,
Baxter?

Is there any sign
of Matlock?

Negative.
He's not with the escort.

The girl's there,
though.

The sniper.

These
pictures are live

from my unit's
location.

Those are your weapons
getting ready for shipping.

Well, then,
I'll contact the police.

They're already
on their way,

but they'll not catch
their main target.

This Matlock?

Or who he's
working for.

2 o'clock.

That's Craig Hanson.

Hanson match.

Stonebridge?

Let's hold on that one.

It's not relevant
to his task.

Like I said,

you should really ask your
father if he knows him.

Are you accusing
my father--

And why he's using

your decommissioning
program

to build his own private
mercenary army.

Get out.

These aren't
the only weapons

that your father is
stockpiling.

Oh, really?

He also has a set of
nuclear triggers,

and he's forcing an ex-nuclear
scientist by the name of Peter Evans

to work for him.

He's doing this by kidnapping
and murdering his family.

I said get out.

Load the box.

What's happening?

Looks like
something is going on.

Hanson! Hart!

Wrap it up!

Let's go!

Yeah.
They're leaving.

Come on!

Zero, where are
these fucking cops?

Stop them leaving.

No bodies.

Bravo 3, that gas tank on
your 1 o'clock-- light it up.

Run!

Run!

Get them!

Shit.

Fuck.

Around the back!

Over there.

Over at that area.

Move,
move, move.

Don't move!
Put your hands in the air!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no.

I'm the good guy.

Stop right there!
Put your hands in the air!

That's the bad guy,
all right?

That's the bad guy.

You're under arrest.

That's
the fugitive.

You don't
say a word.

Do you understand?
I'm the one that called it in.

Scott, what's going on?

All right, all right.
You got it wrong.

I'm the one
that called it in.

For fuck's sake.

Bravo 2, report.

Over.

Bravo 2, report!

We're taking
the first payload now.

Clean elements only.

He's still doing tests
on the uranium,

but he's finished
with the triggers.

You want me to load them?

No.

I want them to hand,
just in case.

And don't bring them
yourself.

I need you and Hanson
to remain at the facility.

Ava's been
approached by 20,

and he's asking some very

awkward questions.

And next time,
please ensure

that her security detail
is as good at their job

as this Stonebridge.

Tungsten-
carbide bricks.

Probably won't use them, but
I'll need them for backup

for the beryllium
reflectors.

Just
fucking load it.

And keep the triggers.

What the hell
is going on?

I demand you to
leave these premises

and release my men
immediately.

They will be returned
to your shortly,

subject to you ceasing
all operations

in this country
with immediate effect.

You want us to
leave?

You have overstepped your
jurisdiction, interfering with

and willfully damaging
a police investigation

into arms smuggling.

We were the ones who gave
the police that information.

We have been aware for some time
of a corrupt ring of individuals

within the decommissioning
site, and we would have been

able to arrest all
the criminals involved

if your premature intervention
hadn't alerted them

and given them
time to escape.

Where are
the weapons now?

Returned to the Conrad
Knox Foundation, naturally,

so they can be
disposed of as intended.



If I fly
off with them,

they'll let
you and Harry go.

There's a small fortune
waiting for you

in your bank
account.

I've seen it.

I don't want
his money.

I want David back
and my father.

I'm doing this
for you.

Are you?

To keep
you safe.

Like the people
this bomb will kill?

I won't make it
viable.

I told you that.

I haven't seen you
this alive in years.

Because I'm doing what
I do best, finally.

Have you any idea
what that's like?

Starting again when everything
that you know and love

and worked for has been
snatched away, forgotten?

Yes.

I know exactly
what that's like.



So no
bodyguards, huh?

You're here,
aren't you?

I doubt I'd be safer
with anyone else.

Tell me you meant it-- what
you said about the foundation

being too important
to be undermined.

Tell me you do
understand that.

Are you offering me
a deal?

I want to confront my father,
but I won't betray him,

won't destroy what we've
worked so hard to accomplish.

The question is, what
do you want in return?

The nuclear triggers
and Peter Evans.

We think they're
somewhere together.

Yeah, well, I have no idea
where Peter Evans is.

Does your father have any
facilities near here--

warehouses, anything
like that?

Um, Oakley, Little Down,
Mercer Street.

Which one is
the most modern?

Little Down or maybe
Coldfall Ridge.

Coldfall Ridge?

The Zulu name is
Imifula Emibidlana--

The Two Rivers
Under The Mountain.

Isn't that wonderful?

What?

"Imifula
Emibidlana."

That's where Evans said the
nuclear weapons were buried.

Buried, not destroyed.

It was originally the
site of an old military clinic.

Knox bought it
15 years ago

and turned it into
a vaccination center.

So if Evans is
right and Knox knows it,

he'd have the bombs
there already.

All he really needed
was the triggers.

And a nuclear scientist
to help rig them.

Hmm. It's heavily
fortified.

It's guarded, so yeah, it
could very well be the place,

but how do we
prove it?

We can't.

If we tell the police or any
of the other authorities here,

we run the risk of someone
warning him beforehand.

We could use
other channels.

The UN, the IAEA.

Yeah. That could
take months.

Fuck that.
Let's just go in ourselves.

It's our only choice.

That woman
who was here earlier...

Who gave you
that case...

She's wanted by the
police for murder

and kidnapping.

I'm assuming
the mother and child

are still safe and will
be properly compensated.

The money has been
transferred already.

Then let them go.

All of them.

Including
Peter Evans.

Ava, what are you
talking about?

Enough bullshit,
dad, ok?

I don't know what the
hell you were planning,

but it stops now.

We give the triggers
back.

We don't build ourselves
a bomb,

and we stop employing
fucking murderers.



Bravo Team, proceed.

Sector D, systems overload.

Where are you going?

Technical
fault of some sort.

Repeat, systems overload.

TP, do you read me?
Over.

Uh!

Security to positions.

TP, report.

Uh!

System overload.

You two,
check it out.

Security to positions.

Repeat, security to
positions.

Kohl, I think we may
have a problem here.

You know what the first
nuclear bomb was called?

"Little Boy."

Door's locked.

Shit. All right, guess
we'll go around.

Uh!

The goal remains
a strong Africa,

just as America
is strong, and Russia

and China and every
other nuclear power.

We do what is necessary.

You can't lead
a revolution

by good deeds alone.

I thought you understood.

That's how power works.

All personnel
must evacuate immediately.

All our aims
are still the same.

We will still develop, we will still
vaccinate, we will still cure...

And kill and kidnap
and what else--

with our mercenary army
and our nuclear weapons?

Why has the big picture
always eluded you?

Yeah...

Just make that leap.

Embrace the possibilities.

Yes?

Sir,
we're under attack.

We'll commence
evac immediately.

I suggest you
do the same.

RV as arranged.

What?

Evacuate immediately.

Zero, which way
is the vault?

First corridor
left, then second right.

That'll take you
to the lift area.

Scott, watch out for Stonebridge.
He's ahead of you now.

Go directly
to service areas.

This facility
will be locked down.

Careful!

Evacuate immediately.

It's Stonebridge. Move!

This facility
will be locked down.

Michael!

Michael!
How's the wife?

Mike...

Which way did they go?

This way.

Dad, stop it.

Stop this insanity.

I've made a deal.

You betrayed me.

You're the one
who's betrayed me.

Dad, they trust me.

I can use them.
Make sure we survive.

Dad, please don't
walk away.

Please!

I need to see
my family.

Make sure they're safe.

No time.

Code Red.
Emergency.

This is not a drill.

All personnel proceed
to designated safe zones.

...contamination protocols.

Shit.

Move!

Let's go!

Get this
crate on board.

Hurry!

Shit.

Hit them!

Uh!

Repeat. This is not a drill.

Uh!

Code Red.
Emergency.

This is not a drill.

- Ah!
- Richmond!

Now!

Ah!

Shit.

Uh!

Hanson!

Uh!

Right here.
Let's move!

Go, go!

Come on!

Run!

Hanson!

It's Hanson!

Take the shot, buddy!
It's your kill!

Let's move!

Come on!

Come on. Let's move,
move, move!

Take the shot, Michael!

Moving!

Move it up!

Aaah!

He jumped!

Evans fucking jumped!

Fuck.

Aaah!

Zero, we've all got
a clear shot on the tail rotor.

Hold fire.

It's loaded with
radioactive materials

and Christ knows
what else.

Let it go.

They have
nearly 50 kilos

of highly enriched
uranium

and enough reflectors
to triple that amount.

Now, they haven't assembled it and
there are still some tests to be done,

but if they still
have the triggers,

they can make
4 warheads.

Well, at the very
least, we've delayed him.

I'm going to need a full
debrief of everything you saw.

Come on.

There.

Come on, mom.

Up there.

Uh!

Get down!

Scott!

Got it!

Dad!

Scott!

I got it!

In the house.
In the house.

Goddamn it.

Fuck. What the fuck
did you do that for?

This is my way out.

I needed you to kill me.

Fuck, Rebecca.

You're not gonna
die from those wounds.

All right?

Yeah.

You have to
hang on.

You got your out.
You take it.

Ok?

Mm-hmm.

You promise me.

Please.

I promise.

Look, just hold there.
Hold on tight.

You got to get up.

Get out of here.

There's
still no lead on Knox.

They slapped a "D" Notice
on everything--

covered up any evidence
that Coldfall Ridge

was ever a nuclear
storage facility.

Christ, we don't even
know if that helicopter

made it out of
South African airspace.

It's possible the Israelis
have got a track on Knox.

We could get Scott
to intercept.

Mossad picked her up long
before Evans' body went cold.

She's a ghost.

Major, we are about
to be deported

for an illegal raid on a
civilian research facility.

We've got to move.

Knox has gone dark.

It's time we went dark, too.
