Gabriel must have told you a lot of stories
over the years...
But reality is a lot more simple.
He's a mercenary, Claire.
A freelance soldier, and he always has been.
We use malware to precipitate a meltdown
and degrade the entire facility.
Everybody say hi to my old buddy Gabe Taylor.
We served together in Afghanistan,
and he'll be the lead on this.
Couldn't be in better hands.
Kazakhstan will never have a nuclear power plant.
When we're done, there'll be nothing left but fucking ashes.
Alright, put it back in your pants.
Okay, we're gonna reconvene at 1800 hours and walk you through everything.
It's great to have you here, brother.
Thanks for having me.
- If I help you,
you will leave my family alone?
- Yeah!
- What do you want?
- The Nexus, and we're prepared to pay.
- No traces, no scandal, no sabotage.
All thanks to you.
- Gabriel has it.
I have to find a way of convincing him.
- Good. You have four hours.
- Don't screw us.
- Zack?
Zack?
- Sorry, ma'am. - That's my son.
We saw you when you got here.
You and Gabriel.
- I'll explain everything to you.
But not here.
Can we talk later at home, please?
- Where is it?
- It's safe.
- "It's safe" is no good to me.
I need the Nexus now. Do we have a problem?
- Look, I did my job.
Al Razah is no longer a problem.
And neither is Asgard, if we do it right.
- Well, we have a bigger problem.
Grasset contacted all of Hexatom's main competitors.
He says he can activate the Nexus remotely
using his satellite phone he set up.
He's offering access to anyone who can get hold of Nexus,
ten million U.S. wired to a numbered account in the Caymans.
- And since we're talking about money...
Where's mine?
- No Nexus, no money, Gabriel.
One of them is gonna blow up Al Razah,
and say that it was Hexatom's technology that was responsible.
So instead of whining about your money,
why don't you go and do your fucking job!
- Claire, there's a problem with the Nexus.
We need to talk ASAP.
You have one new message.
Claire, there's a problem with the Nexus.
We need to talk ASAP.
- Claire, I got your message.
But your friend never showed up at my place.
- I'm sorry, Bassem, for all the trouble.
- The police came last night.
They're looking for him.
Of course, I said nothing.
My wife's freaked out.
She would rather not work for you anymore.
- I understand.
- I'm sorry, Claire.
- Thank you, Bassem, for picking me up.
Can I still call you if I need a ride?
- Of course.
- What took you so long?
What the hell?
- Can I help you?
- I've got to look at the black mold
in the air conditioning over there.
- What mold?
- What's gotten into you? I don't get it.
- I did what I had to do, Lukas. Nothing more.
- Oh please, spare me the bullshit, will you?
We both know that none of this
would have ever happened without him.
- But I made the call to move.
I decided to infiltrate the plant.
- Without him, the idea would have never even occurred to you.
You're a mother, Claire, you could have been killed!
Look at Jeanne. Did you know Eric feels responsible for her suicide?
We should give him a call. - No, please, Lukas.
Don't do this. Not now.
Don't say anything
about any of this to anyone.
- Hey, a man just broke into your office.
- What?
- He attacked me and opened your safe.
- Oh, my God!
Are you alright?
- I'm fine, I'm fine.
We're scanning the CCTV.
We are reissuing all the security credentials.
Claire, are you alright?
- Yes, I'm okay.
I'll check it all tomorrow. I mean, Monday.
See you there, Vincent.
Thank you.
- Gabriel?
- Yeah.
I told him I'll keep the Nexus in my office vault and...
...he just tried to break in to get it.
I spent fifteen years putting this ghost in the ground.
And boom! There he is.
The missing puzzle piece, right in front of me.
He begged me for help.
And by saying yes, I became the worst.
I've hurt the two most important people in my world.
So stupid.
- Well, he's using you.
- I let him!
From the moment you met me, you've always been there.
You never once said you were going to go away, for example.
But...
I've ruined everything.
- I never leave, remember?
- I know.
- So did he find the Nexus or do you still have it?
- I still have it.
- Why not just give it back?
- Give it to Asgard?
And let those bastards run free?
- What if it's the only way to protect us?
Now, think about Zack.
- I may have a solution to protect us.
- Wait. If the Nexus's not in the safe,
where is it now?
- Let's go. And don't forget to pick up Zack at school.
Fresh intel from HQ
hacked from the local police computers.
Gabriel's ride at the high school.
He works for her.
- Hi! - Hi.
Yes?
- Do you believe me now?
- I do, I saw it on recording CCTV's.
But I can't talk on the phone.
- Don't move. - Okay.
You saved a lot of lives, Claire.
- Did you see Grasset in the IT room?
- Yeah, outside, sneaking into the carpark.
- He's working for Asgard. No doubt.
And we're going to get these bastards.
- You and me, both.
- Hexatom, Al Razah... that's too big for us.
We should call the French authorities.
You must have a contact at the Embassy?
- Way ahead of you.
They're pretty impressed with you, by the way.
- You've already called them?
They want to help get rid of Asgard
and get the truth out about Kazakhstan.
They are waiting for you...
Of course, they'd need the Nexus device.
If you need it, they can protect you.
- I'll meet them at the Embassy in one hour.
- You're welcome to come with me if you like?
- I'll meet you there.
- Answer it.
- Bassem, it's Claire.
Can you pick me up
at the fountain plaza, please?
I need to go the French Embassy.
Bassem? Bassem, can you hear me?
- Yes.
See you in fifteen minutes.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Mr. Al Fardh?
It's Lukas, Zack's dad,
we met this morning at the police station.
- Yes, of course.
Good morning, sir.
- Sorry to disturb you,
I know you're on the road,
but my son skipped school today.
And I think he might try and get in touch with Salem.
- I can imagine your concern.
If Salem has any news,
I will call you.
- Thank you so much, Mr. Al Fardh, thank you.
- What's wrong?
- It's gonna be okay.
Hi!
Giving the Nexus to the French now, is that it?
- Hand it over? - Yes.
- Slowly. - Now!
- So sorry, Claire, they have my family.
- Easy. - Yes, I have it.
- Get in! Come on! Get in!
- Let's go, let's go!
Come on, Claire! Go!
Go! - Come!
- Go, go! Just go, now!
- Are you hurt?
- You fucker! You've been tracking me!
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Goddamnit!
- I need the Nexus.
- So that's it?
Not "sorry", not "I understand"?
- Would that help?
Is that what you want me to say?
- I don't care. Here.
Give it to your employer.
Or whoever pays you more.
Doug was right about you.
It's all about the money, it's all you care about.
- I bet he left out the part where I betrayed him for you.
- Bullshit!
There's a video of the prep for Kazakhstan.
You knew everything from the start.
You were never betrayed,
you were just following the mission plan! You're a liar!
- Look, I may look like the bad guy, Claire.
- Yes. - But if you look close enough,
you'll realize everything that I have done has been for you.
Everything.
And I am sorry. Truly.
From the bottom of my heart.
- Ah!
- You're gonna be okay.
- Lukas?
- Claire? Zack's missing.
- What?
- He's not at school.
They haven't seen him since this morning.
And he's not answering his phone.
I called everyone, nobody knows where he is.
- Oh my God! They took him.
Fuck!
Gabriel stole the Nexus.
- What?
- We just lost our leverage!
- Where are you?
- South Beach, parking lot.
- I'll be there in ten.
Gonna be okay?
- He's coming.
- Hey.
They've taken Zack.
So you have to listen to me very carefully.
I don't care about you.
I don't care about your employer,
or Asgard, any of it.
I just care about our son.
So if you have a shred of humanity left in you,
you'll give the Nexus back to me.
Because... it's the only way we can save his life .
- Shit!
- Pick him up! Pick him up now!
Go! Go! Go!
- Let's go.
- Are you alright?
- That bastard, he's ready to sacrifice his own son.
I fucked up badly.
- No, he fucked up.
We call the police.
- You know what happens
when you get on the wrong side of the law?
- But we're on the right side, aren't we?
- Not all of us.
- Then, we have to solve this ourselves right now.
We call Asgard and promise them the Nexus.
- Yes?
- You leave our son out of this
and we'll find a solution with the Nexus.
- Put your wife on, would you?
- He wants to talk to you.
- You have a very charming son.
You're never gonna see him again unless we get the Nexus.
- Okay.
I got the Nexus back,
but Gabriel stole it from me.
You were right about him.
- Don't lie to me, Claire.
- We're not lying, we'll bring it back to you.
- But we need time.
- Okay, you have two hours.
- We'll find a solution, you and me.
We'll bring Zack back home. Alright?
- The only treasure of ours you can keep.
- You just stay here in case plans change.
- No, I can go. - No, you can't.
You need to stay here-- - I'm fine. I can still walk.
- What if things get ugly with this leg?
What are you gonna do, come on?
- Don't let him get away.
- I won't.
Let's find Steven.
- Fucking hell!
- Hey! Hi, man, it's Zack.
- Where the fuck are you?
- What do you think, dude?
I'm in Khor Al Zakiyah!
Heading to the central plaza.
- Don't move, we're coming.
- Yeah, the kid got off the bus.
In a village called Khor Al Zakiyah.
What do you want me to do? - Grab him.
- That won't be easy in the middle of this crowd.
- Follow him, then. We'll be there in ten.
two dead.
Who are you working for, Mr. Green?
Or whatever your real name is.
- Two dead?
Seems like you got your hands full there, chief.
Let me take a wild guess, you got no bodies.
- You look like you already have all the answers.
- Yeah, I got tons of answers.
Just trying to figure out if I can trust you enough to share them.
- You don't have much of a choice.
- A group of terrorist mercenaries are planning
to blow up the Al Razah research center.
You must know that there was a successful
security breach at Al Razah last night?
Of course you know that.
See, if we could strike a deal,
I could take you straight to the terrorists safehouse.
And you can stop this before it's even begun.
- Wait.
You said you know them.
Let's see if they know you.
Yes? - Hey, it's me.
I've got some good news.
Some very good news.
- What's happening?
- Clear, clear, clear.
- What's going on?
- Oh, my God.
- Hi, guys! - Zack, what did you do?
Your folks are looking for you.
- How do you know?
- They called my dad.
- Okay. Uh...
You know what, fuck them. I'm not going back.
- Come on.
- Come back to our place.
- You grassed me up? - No.
It's just...
they worry about you.
- Yeah. - Call them back.
- Yeah, okay. Message received.
- Zack, wait! Let me talk to him, just for a minute.
He's desperate! We can't let him go!
What's going on, Zack?
- It's my mom.
She...
She's having an affair.
With the diving instructor.
I mean like, how pathetic is that?
I can't trust anyone now.
- I'm so sorry, Zack.
- You're all fucking liars. - I've never lied to you!
- Then why did you give me this?
- Hey! Zack?
Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Let him go.
- Hey! Ah!
- Hey! How's your day going?
- We should call the French Embassy.
- What could they do?
- Now, all we can do is bluff.
Try and arrange a meeting for an exchange,
and, uh, I don't know...
What is it?
Shit!
- Where is this?
- Zack tried to hook up with his friends.
- What do you mean?
- Khor al Zakiah,
that's where Salem and Moza live.
They all got busted last night at a dry dock.
I had to pick up Zack at the police station this morning.
The cops dropped the charges thanks to the father.
Where are you going? - Come!
Hello?
Don't worry, I still have it.
I offered Doug the Nexus in exchange for Zack.
- Asgard is waiting for us near Khor Al Zakiyah.
We're leaving. - I'll meet you there.
- Okay.
- Is that Gabriel?
- Yeah, he's meeting us there.
- She'll call to set up the exchange,
we'll have it within the hour.
Your mother loves you,
and that's something, man,
especially compared to your dad.
Alright, let's go.
- Bassem, I'm so glad your family's good...
Yes, yes, everything's alright.
I'll call you later. Okay.
Bassem and his family are okay.
- Grasset hooked up a satellite phone in Al Razah.
He can sabotage the plant remotely if he has the Nexus.
I had to steal it from you, Claire, to protect you.
Everyone wants it now.
- So we have to choose between Zack,
and the lives of hundreds of innocent people?
- Let's call Birgit, she'll warn the police.
- No, the plant's been locked down by the police.
They don't trust anyone anymore, including Hexatom.
Who I imagined had to promise the authorities
their new energy was safe.
- We're gonna get him back, Claire.
- There is one way we can do this.
Without giving them the Nexus.
We're gonna have to work together.
I need you both on my side.
Good. I need Claire to ride with me.
You follow in your car.
- I'll be right behind you. - Yeah.
- Did you manage?
- All set.
- You got this.
Let's do it.
- She's coming.
Alone.
- Why the hell is she alone?
Find Gabriel.
- No sign of Gabriel.
- I want to see my son.
- And I want to see the Nexus.
You know what to do.
Come.
- Let me see the Nexus!
- Don't touch him!
I'm coming!
- Bring it!
- My son, first!
- What the fuck is that? Bring it!
- It's over, Doug!
Let him go!
We'll end up in jail, you and I.
Is that what you want?
- It's okay.
Put the Nexus on the ground!
- Yes.
- Closer.
- Yeah.
Okay.
- That's it, walk away.
Walk away! - Yes!
- Run to your dad.
- Zack! Zack!
- Grab the Nexus!
Let's go!
Go straight for about twenty miles.
You should see an off-road that'll take us to a cave.
- Gabriel, it's time to tell him the truth.
He saw us this morning at the high school.
We can't lie to him anymore.
- You really think that's wise?
Just as I'm about to disappear again?
Sometimes, we lie to protect the ones we love.
And besides...
I may be his father, but we both know who his dad is.
- Good luck...
Philip.
- Sorry about back there.
You're a brave kid, Zack.
- So...
What's the plan?
- Plan?
I got a passport and some cash
on the other side of the border.
But, uh...
You have to take this.
Come on.
- Yes.
- They'll all think I have it.
Just make sure you use it.
- I will.
- Claire? - Yes.
- Let me introduce myself.
I'm Alex, I'm Gabriel's boss.
Congratulations on the happy ending with Asgard.
That's good news.
I know you have the Nexus.
- What was your name again?
- I suppose Asgard thinks you want to keep out of this.
- And why would you care?
- They won't suspect you working for us.
You won't have read about this, Claire,
but the European Union has set up a shadow task force,
against corporate espionage.
These global corporations, they go beyond borders.
And they are powerful.
We have to protect ourselves,
against their parallel diplomacy,
against their private military companies.
All of it.
It's the new cold war, Claire.
- And you really believe
you can convince me to dive into this with you?
- We hired Gabriel.
We tried to get him to manipulate you,
but I guess we underestimated you.
You could help us, Claire.
You could help us get rid of Asgardm
and the Consortium, completely.
And in return, we could
forgive Gabriel his betrayal.
We'll offer him protection,
give him a new identity. A real safe one.
It's up to you, Claire.
- Who's that guy?
- A friend of Al Tarubi.
- What, headhunting?
- Let's not talk about my job.
Zack.
- Are you coming?
- No, you go.
- Come on! Come with us.
- No, you go with Zack.
Look, I think we both know that you'll never forget Gabriel.
Not unless you go all the way down that road.
- Go.
Hey, uh...
Mom didn't tell me,
but I know everything...
Dad.
