- Do you remember me, Minister? - You are Jacob Pearce.
JACOB: I want to show you something. This is what they do to you
- inside a Taliban jail. - Please, I have a daughter.
My men also had daughters. They had sons, they had wives,
they had families, and you betrayed them.
And they were slaughtered. And that is because of you.
Who are you?
Vincent Taleb. I am the Minister of Defence's protection officer.
- (PEOPLE SCREAMING) - (BOMB EXPLODING)
(SPEAKING FRENCH)
Rowan and Philippe decided that the best way to deal with Pearce
was to betray him to the Taliban. Sucks being lied to you, doesn't it?
Matis Garnier, Head of Counter Terrorism.
- I'm leading the Task Force. - Zara Taylor, MI6.
And what about the weapons recovered from the embassy?
Forensics were able to recover one of them.
It's been traced to an arms dealer, Karim Hassan.
MATIS: He's our lead to Pearce. We gotta find this guy.
JACOB: My name is Jacob Pearce. Captain Jacob Pearce.
I'm a soldier with the French Foreign Legion.
I want people out there to know my story.
I want them to know the truth.
What was done to me. And what was done to my men.

- Do you have him? - ZARA ON RADIO: I've got him.
Look at this. Who is he kidding?
VINCENT: Well, maybe he likes strawberries?
What, an arms dealer travels all the way across Paris
to buy the ingredients of a fruit salad?
(PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)
He's handed the backpack off. Stay with him.

Vincent! What the hell happened at the market?
Now, we have a dead arms dealer and a civilian in the hospital
with concussion!
I get you both transferred to the task force
and this is how you repay me?
It was a genuine mistake. Very similar backpacks.
- Similar backpacks, huh? - ZARA: Yeah.

JACOB: Three. Two.
(SPEAKING FRENCH)
- (DOOR CLOSES) - Hello?
JACOB: I've just been reading the KMI's annual report.
You're making a fortune selling weapons to very bad people.
What do you want?
JACOB: Hard to put a price on the lives of 23 men.
Six years of imprisonment and torture.
One hundred million euros should just about cover it.
You want me to pay you 100 million euros?
That's the same profit you made supplying weapons
to the Afghan Government. Seems fair to me.
Why would I pay you anything?
Because if you don't, I'll start killing people you know until you do.
And then we'll all see how much value you place on the lives
of your family, your friends, and your colleagues.
I have a sniper on a rooftop somewhere in Paris.
He's gonna kill someone very close to you
unless you agree to pay me the money I ask.
(SPEAKING FRENCH)
(IN ENGLISH) I wonder who it will be. It could be anyone.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
But if you pay me, they will live.
(IN FRENCH)
(IN ENGLISH) You're bluffing. I'm not paying you a single euro.
JACOB: Well, that was a mistake.
- (GUN FIRES) - (GLASS BREAKING)
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
I did say it would be someone very close to you.
There's a link in the email I sent you.
Click on that when you're ready to pay.
MATIS: Pearce is threatening to keep killing
Moulin's family and friends until he pays up.
Do we know why Pearce is targeting Moulin?
A minister in the Afghan government stole some money
that was supposed to pay for a hospital.
Pearce kidnapped the Minister and held him hostage
until the money was returned. The Afghans were furious.
They threatened to cancel a defence contract with Moulin's company.
So, Moulin put pressure on Philippe to betray Pearce to the Taliban?
You think Moulin bribed Philippe?
Moulin denies it, but I think he's lying.
He's given us a list of his family and friends.
We're warning anyone who may be a target.
LUCAS: We've been scanning the CCTV from the area.
This is from the street next to the market.
And this is from the building the sniper fired from.
It's the same guy.
(SPEAKING FRENCH)
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
FREJA: (IN ENGLISH) You want to start?
(CAMERA BEEPS)
JACOB: There was one guard, he said his name was Hassan.
You could see in his eyes he enjoyed inflicting pain on others.
Some days he would beat me, torture me, rape me.
Other days, he would just want me to hold him.
(SPEAKING FRENCH)
JACOB: (IN ENGLISH) Philippe Bardin, Rowan Alexander and Pascal Moulin
betrayed me and my men to the Taliban.
My men...
all my men,
were murdered for political and financial gain.

You okay?
Why were you discharged from the army?
I read your service record. It said you disobeyed orders.
You read my service record?
Yeah. If I'm gonna work with someone, I need to know who they are.
And I can find out anyway, so you may as well tell me.
We were in the hills, watching a compound.
I... I see a Boko Haram commander arriving.
I light the target with a laser and call in an airstrike.
But then, his family arrived.
The kids are running around, laughing.
I radio it in, but they don't call off the strike.
So, I redirect the laser to a derelict building.
The missiles go in.
And the only thing they kill is a goat.
And they kicked you out?

She keeps telling me she's quit.
I mean, I get mad at her, but I'm lying to her too, you know?
- She doesn't know what I do. - You've never told her?
She's an addict.
I'm risking my job just being with her.
(GRUNTS)
And yeah, I know I should leave her.
I love her. (CHUCKLES)
So, yeah, now you know my personal life is a total mess.
Well, I'm going home to an empty flat
to drink a warm beer because my fridge is broken.
- So... - (CHUCKLES) Okay.

You want me to stay?

That seems healthy.
(TEXT MESSAGE BEEPS)
- (SIGHS) - Everything okay?

MATIS: Zara, Vincent, come here.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)
Shut the door.
I just spoke with my contact at the CIA.
A few weeks after Pearce was rescued, he checked himself out
of the military hospital and flew to Pakistan.
While Pearce was in Lahore,
someone planted an explosive device under his car.
What about the CIA? They know who was responsible?
- That's all they've got. - Someone was trying to stop Pearce
revealing how he was betrayed to the Taliban?
You think it could be Philippe Bardin?
Maybe. I talked with the Security Services.
They're claiming they don't know anything about it.
I mean, the Security Services aren't gonna admit they're responsible
- unless they have to. - Mmm-hmm.
Pearce wasn't using his car that day.
An Afghan national, Amina Sayyid,
and her two children were killed in the explosion.
ZARA: Was he in a relationship with her?
MATIS: It looks that way, yes.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
ZARA: Well, it certainly explains why Pearce is so pissed.

You need to break cover and run for it.
You want me to run towards him? Are you insane?
The trees will block his view. He'll have to change position,
and I'll have a shot.
- (GUN FIRES) - (GRUNTING)
You want to stay there?
ZARA: I'm not loving my options. VINCENT: So, run fast.

The first time Amina saw me this way, she...
She tried so hard not to cry.
Didn't want to make me feel bad, I guess.
Said it didn't matter what I looked like.
Didn't change anything, how she felt about me.
How she felt about us.
Very strange.
If anyone else would have said that, I wouldn't have believed them,
but she was very honest.
She was very kind.
Thank you.
Pascal Moulin just clicked on the link in the email you sent.
It seems like he's ready to pay.
Huh.
My people need to know before we do anything.
Don't want to upset them now, do we?
No, you really don't.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
- (CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY) - (YAWNS)
You know, this kind of operation costs serious money.
How is Pearce funding it? He hasn't got a pot to piss in.
Pot to piss in?
It means someone who's broke.
Must be getting the money from somewhere.
The IT guys hacked the sniper's burner phone.
Pearce was messaging instructions.
One of the messages refers to a guy called Cedric Duval.
- Who is he? - Don't know. Trying to identify him.
Thanks.
