I have your daughter.
Do as I say or she's dead.

You want me to bomb my own Embassy?

Working on being
Father Of The Year in about 16 hours.

Something lands in Bangkok.

The man I deal with is called Lee.

He's Office 39.

Office 39 are pretty much
the most ruthless covert

organisation on the planet.

They do anything that generates
hard currency for the North Korean

nuclear missile programme.

Li-Na will save everything.



She's at the hospital
with Foster and May.

My name has never been May.

Duty...

Compassion.

The conflict between these two
obligations defines who you are.

It defines any warrior.

Our crystal meth
was destroyed by Section 20.

But the deal that I have
with you will be fulfilled.

Another shipment
will be here within 48 hours.

There will be no deal.

My son is young and foolish.

He overstepped his authority
by agreeing.

What you're asking from us
is wrong, empty of honour.

As the Commissioner of the syndicate,
I cannot agree to it.



Our business here is concluded.

Now you are Commissioner.

Not if the Council
learn of my betrayal.

Deliver what you promised

and your syndicate will become
the most powerful in Southeast Asia.

Tell your people Section 20 did this

and that your father's death
needs to be avenged.

How quickly can we get the results?

I should have something later today.

What are you doing?
You can't go in there!

My husband's body is to be flown
back to the UK. Mei. Philip.

I tried to contact you.
I'm sorry, this was my call.

You don't think Robin died
as a result of his injuries.

Nothing's certain, but the autopsy
should give us some answers.

Mei, the Foreign Office
have signed off on this.

But I would like your permission.

Whatever you think is necessary.

And Li-Na? She's being dealt with.

Tell us about Lee Da-Ho.
I... I don't know who that is.

An aid, for Office 39.
We believe the embassy bombing was

a prelude to what they had planned.

Lee Da-Ho. North Korean agent.

And we've got some CCTV footage
there near the Office 39 building.

You're working for Lee.
No. You obviously met with him.

I meet a lot of people.
But I had no idea who he was.

Bullshit! He was a terrorist
drug dealer. Talk to us, Li-Na.

Go on. Maybe you got
too deeply involved in something.

Maybe you found out
things you weren't supposed to.

But if you don't start
being honest with us...

If I talk, you'll protect me?

If you tell us the truth, yes.

I fed Office 39 information. About
what? Fosters, you, everything.

Why help the North Koreans?
They're my people.

Then you know what
they have planned?

All I know was Foster
was supposed to die in the attack

and when he didn't, he instructed me
to kill him. I don't ask questions.

I only follow orders.

Boss?

Well, she hardly blinked
when we tied her to Lee.

But to fold just like that?

Admit everything?

Why? Hmm?

Hello? May.

Philip?
Li-Na confessed.

My God, to everything?

Look, I wouldn't normally
ask this, but...

You want me to come over?

It might help verify
some of what she's saying.

I'll send a car. All right.

I think you and Finn are going
to get on like a house on fire.

You do?

I hope so.

What is it?

Sounds kind of crazy but, uh,
I always felt like I wanted

to go home.

Now, home's coming to you.

Yeah... Come here.

You feel like home to me.

When all this is done I'm going to
take you for some dinner, dancing...

What? Dancing? Yeah.

I've seen you dance.

Yeah.

Just spend some time with your son.

OK? That's what's important now.

Why is Li-Na trying to focus
all our attention on her?

OK, try this one out.

What if there was another
North Korean agent in the Embassy?

What if Robin was murdered to
stop him helping us find out

who that agent is?

Ask her how she killed him.

Martinez?

Yeah, pathology, it's urgent.

Finn?

Damian?

Hey, Nick.

Whatever!

Colonel Locke? Yeah, go ahead.

I only have preliminarily
results from the toxicology report

but our suspicions were correct.

There are traces of potassium
chloride in the bloodstream.

So, that's what brought
on the heart attack?

Somebody got to him.

And the delivery system? Injection?
It's possible, yes. When?

Given the high level of traces,

the ambassador would have gone
into cardiac arrest within minutes.

Robin Forster was poisoned...

After we'd taken Li-Na into custody.

And the only person
that was with him was his wife.

How did you know I was going
to be there? Your mom told me.

She called. Said you had some
trouble, flew out here to find me.

She's pretty pissed at you,
by the way.

Don't worry,
I've got ways of dealing with that.

I know this is weird
for both of us. All right?

And, look, I don't know what your mom
told you about what happened to us.

She got pregnant. You walked out.

That about covering it?

Yeah.

Finn, but your seatbelt on.

Put your seatbelt on!

Put your fucking seatbelt on. Now.

Hold on.

I'll deal with it.

Agh! Ugh!

Garland!

Mikey, it's me.
I'm in the car with Finn.

I've got some heat on me.

Fuck!

Whoa! What the fuck is that?!

Put your head down! Damien,
what the fuck?! Put your head down!

Window!

Ugh!

Martinez! Michael! Talk to me!

I'm good, but Lawan's down.

I'm here! Garland's hit!

Grenade!

Fuck!

Shit!
I've got a fucking runner here!

Chase him down, Michael.

Stay down!

We've got to get out of there.
Get out of that belt.

There you go. Oh, fuck.

Come on, keep moving.
We got to move. Finn, keep moving.

Hands!

Show me your hands!

Fuck you!

Gaijin, you killed my kumicho!

Give me your phone.

Your phone.
I want to see who you're talking to.

Give me your phone.
Give me your phone.

Give me your phone!

The pin has the surname
Takagi written on it.

Coming in. Clear?
Yeah, good.

These guys are probably from the
yakuza syndicate based in Kyushu.

One of the most powerful in Japan.

They're in bed with Office 39.

They think we killed their boss.

Mike, I'm so sorry.

Shit. Scott.

'Mikey, it's me.
I'm in the car with Finn.

'I've got some heat on me.'

They hit Scott.

'Fuck!'

'Whoa, what the fuck is that?'

'Put your head down!'

'Damien, what the fuck?!'
'Put your head down!'

Go and find him. Yeah, roger that.

Martinez. Yeah?

We'll pick up Mei.

OK, the last signal from Scott's
phone? 15 clicks west of here.

Right, let's go.

We've come to see Mei.

I'm sorry, sir.

Mrs Foster is not
expecting visitors today.

Of course she isn't!

Khan, it's...

It's OK. They can come in.

Is she in there?

Mei? She's upstairs,
she's got a headache.

Is everything all right? I want you
to pack a bag and get ready to leave.

Do you understand?

No. What's going on?
Will you do as I say?

Chloe, you're going to have
to trust me, OK?

It says he's here!

Fuck!

No. Michael...

Shit.

Michael...

OK, come on.

I didn't expect
to see you here in person.

I'm sure you didn't.

So, was killing him
always part of the plan?

Killing who?

What are you saying?

No, don't.

Don't!!

It's over, Mei.

You're scaring me.

Why are you saying this?

Because I know you killed him.

And all those years,
he thought you loved him.

Please...

I don't know
what you're talking about.

No, do not come any closer.

I know what you are.

You've no idea!

Argh!

What's going on? Ah!

Mei... what are you doing?!
She'll be dead before you reach it.

Please, Mei.

Please...

Not Chloe.

Mei!! No!!

Save her or take me. Your choice.

It's OK. She didn't do it.

Come here.

No bodies.
No visible sign of injuries.

Yeah, boss?

Yeah, it's us.

We found Scott's Jeep.

And Scott?

No, he's not here.

Permission to go look for him.

No, I need you back here.
Mei is behind everything.

And she's on the run.

Yeah, roger that.

He wants us back.

Wait, we need to find Scott.

What if the yakuza took him?

Well, then Mei's our best chance
of getting him back.

Let's go. Come on.

Well, at least now
the enemy has a face.

Whatever her name is,
she enrolled at Cambridge University

at the age of 18
as a Japanese national.

And before that?

Absolutely nothing.

So, she must have been part
of the espionage programme.

Stripped of their identity
and trained to speak, dress, think...

and live in the skin of another.

She's not a terrorist,
she is a highly-motivated operative

with a mission she has shown
incredible dedication to.

Unless we know
what that mission is...

and why she's dealing
with the yakuza...

we'll be one step behind her
and her masters from North Korea.

She used the yakuza to get to us.

Let's use them to get to her.
Agreed.

So, what do we know?

Well, according
to the yakuza website,

their kumicho, Takagi,
was found dead this morning.

Their website?

Think PricewaterhouseCoopers,
but with AKs

and their own fan magazine.

So, if their kumicho's dead,
who's stepping up to the plate?

Shiro. He's been running
the Thai organisation

for the last five years.

He's Takagi's son and, if the
council approve, his successor.

Hey!

Yaaa!

Hey!

Yaaa!

Hey! Hey! Yaaa!

You failed.

Locke is still alive,
while you play at fighting here.

We afflicted heavy casualties
on them.

Bought ourselves the time we need.

The exchange
has to be brought forward.

I've spoken to my people
and the drugs will be here tomorrow.

If you can't deliver what I need...

Tomorrow.

Hai.

Hey! Yaaa!

Colonel? Yeah? We've got something.

Members of the syndicate council
arriving in Krabi

a couple of hours ago.

Shiro and the syndicate
have offices there.

This guy greeting them
is Akiyama, Shiro's right-hand man,

the underboss
for the entire operation.

On the right is Ito,
the company accountant.

He'll meet with the council,
to go over the books.

We find Shiro, we find Mei.

We've got a plane to catch.

Are they still after us?

Yeah. Probably.

Got to find a phone, dude.

Got to get on to my team.

Why are they trying to kill you?

I don't know.

Probably because of my job.

Because you're an IT consultant?!

No. That's what
your mum told you? I'm in IT?

I'm a soldier, Finn.

Seriously? Yeah. I am.

Former US military.

Sergeant Damien Scott.

Special Forces. Delta.

The CIA.

Now I'm working
for British intelligence.

You think I'm going
to believe that?

I mean, do I look stupid?

No. You don't.

So, what do you think
I do for a living, kid?

Come on.

You're in Bangkok on business,

you've got a fucking nine mil
in the glove compartment... Yeah.

..and you've got gangsters trying to
kill you! It's obvious, man. What?

You're a drug dealer.

Are you ever barking up
the wrong tree, kid!

Huh?

You said we've got to move,
we should move.

Doesn't mean we've got to talk.

Zero, target on time.

He's gone inside.

Ah, gentlemen.

I want to thank you for your time.

Please.

Our mutual friend
speaks highly of you.

I'm grateful
he could put us in touch.

It is an honour to be here.

So, when do we get to see your boss?

Mr Shiro does not take these
kind of meetings. You deal with me.

I deal with organ grinders,
not monkeys.

Then perhaps there will be
no dealings at all.

Smugglers are common. Easy to find.

Not like us, they're not.

I want to apologise for my friend.

He's British.

But he does got a point.

You know our reputation.

What we can offer
your organisation here.

Real expansion.

Shifting your meth
into American markets and beyond.

Look, it's simple.

Our guns come east,
your meth goes west.

This is a multimillion dollar deal.
But respect goes both ways.

If you ever apologise for me again,
I'll cut your bollocks off, mate.

You think they're buying a car?

I think they are someone else's
problem right now.

I don't know, baby, I think it's a
good deal. Let's check the interior.

Hey, guys, something's wrong here,
I don't know what happened.

It's weird, I just opened
the door and it just...

Afternoon.

Richmond, on my left.

Argh! Argh!

Stay down!

Come here! Do I have
your fucking attention, mate? Huh?

Do you know who I am?

Because I know who you are.
Fuck you!

Argh!

I know that you work for Mei Foster
and I know she ordered a hit on us.

Now, I'm going to ask you
a very simple question

and you are going to answer me.
Where is she? Fuck you!

If you don't answer this question,

I will burn
your fucking world to the ground!

Contact!

You got that, Richmond?

Yeah!

Look in my eyes. This is your last
chance. I'm not fucking about here.

Where is Mei Foster?

We've got to move!

The... The island...

Come on, now!

Let's go, move, move!

Fuck!

Hide! Get under the water! Get under!

Come here. Come here. Stay down.

Come with me.

Well, a lot of it's accounts,
so they are legitimate businesses,

and the Kokura Foundation. Which is?

It's a charity
set up by Shiro's father.

Aid to developing countries,
disaster relief...

Wait, I have a trust fund
in Shiro's name,

used to purchase properties
in Thailand.

Four in Bangkok, then one on a
private island off the coast, here.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I think we have a winner.

Good job.

And if Shiro is there,
Mei will be alongside.

This is for Damien.
We take her down.

The Council are old men -
all that lies between you

and what's rightfully yours.

He belittled you.

Undermined you.

Didn't want to be eclipsed
by his son.

Sometimes we must act decisively
to break free from the past.

To find our future.

Arrangements have been made.
You will get what you want.

Any heavy contact, we pull back
to the RV, understood? Roger that.

Moving? Move.

Relax.

It's Ito, the accountant.

I've got it.

Argh!

Get up!

You're going to tell me
what the syndicate have

that the North Koreans
want so badly,

or your days as
a Yakuza salaryman are over.

I just look at the paperwork!
What does the paperwork say?

Door locked. Shit!

Contact!

Richmond, move, move, move!

I'm coming to you, boss.

We have the intel.
Bravo 1, we have the intel.

Hey, sit down!

Don't you think
you should check that out?

Let's get out of here,
or this thing's fucked!

Bravo 1, we're heading back.
Roger that.

Going left.

Come on, Shiro, where are you?

Argh!

Zero, I have Shiro here.

Fuck!

Bravo 1, we are at the RV point
and we are taking fire.

Can you come to us?

Roger that!

Zero, listen to me.
I want you to move on my call.

Move!

Moving!

Argh!

Bravo one, are you inbound?

No, that's a negative. I'm cut off.

Hold your position, Michael.
We're coming back for you.

Negative. I'll find another exfil.

Argh!

OK, move out.

Move in!

Argh!

Shit!

Fuck. Fuck you, Damian!

Oh, shit, buddy. I hope
you're having better luck than I am.

The world didn't stop just because
you left. Mom found someone else.

He brought me up like his own.
He's a good guy.

Quiet.

What? Hey, wait a minute. What?

You were the one
that walked out on us. Shh.

All right? Do you have any idea
how much of a mess Mom was? Huh?

Just how much
you fucked our lives...

Go on, go up there.

No, no, come here. Get in there.

Sit down. Now, stay there.
I'll be back in a second.

Bravo one, send sitrep, over.

Bravo one, send sitrep, over!

Where are you, Michael?

Here it is -

the company
the accountant mentioned.

Shit. What?

The yakuza's shipment
for May is Vanadium.

Used in missile technology. And the
last component Office 39 need.

And if we don't stop it,

we'll be facing a rogue state
with a million-man army,

able to launch a nuclear strike
at Europe and the US

at a moment's notice.

We need the team back together.

Where are you, boys?

Where are you?
