[Max, in German] You don't want to miss out on this story.
A passenger is dead.
A fucking bomb.
Okay. You didn't hear it from me.
- [horn honking] - [radio chatter]
[crews speaking German]
[coughs]
[breathing heavily]
- [alarm ringing] - [coughing]
[in English] What have you done?
Just trust me.
[coughs]
[radio bleeps, crackles]
I want the network evacuated.
Lines cleared. And the train that's blocking me moved.
Yes, we can do that.
I need your assurance no one else will be hurt.
And I want visual confirmation in the next 30 minutes
that you have Bailey-Brown in Germany.
A photo. I'll give you a number to send it to.
Listen, we've tried to locate him. I cannot guarantee I can find him so fast.
Sam, please--
Okay, okay. So you've seen what happens when you fail.
You do not wanna see what happens when you fail again.
You have 30 minutes. All right?
Now, you fucking find him.
[in English] All right. Now you tell the passengers
that there's been a small fire on the network
and that we've had to divert to another line.
Come on! Now.
[coughing]
- [intercom chimes] - [breathing heavily]
Hey. Calm down.
[speaking German]
[continues through intercom]
[George, in English] Sir.
- [coughing] - All right, everyone, listen up.
"Attention, this train has been diverted onto the U8
following a small fire on the network.
This is purely a precautionary measure.
Will the passengers in carriage one please vacate
and move down the train immediately."
All right, kids. You've heard it. Grab your bags.
- Guys. - Let's move. Let's move.
[in German] One after the other, please.
[Otto] I repeat…
[Colin] All right. Everyone in the front…
[Otto] Please move down into one of the rear carriages.
- Thank you. - [grunting, inhales sharply]
[Lukas speaks German]
[in English] You okay?
- [Lukas] Come on. Quick, quick, quick. - [Colin] All right.
Okay, good.
Let's get going.
[coughing]
Hello? [coughs]
Hello?
[coughs]
[Otto] There he is. There.
- [alarm ringing] - [coughing]
What the hell are you doing?
Hey! I need you to listen very carefully.
Come on, come on. You're okay…
We need to get out of here. [coughs]
Go. Go.
You told them half an hour?
Yeah. Because half an hour is all we've got
before they come down here and figure it out.

[Ada] Who is this Sam Nelson?
He's a lawyer based in London.
Specializing in M&A. Corporate negotiations.
He was on Kingdom 29.
The hijack.
[in German] Why aren't they letting paramedics down there?
We need to deal with the fire first.
[in English] He's been trying to get German police
to take him seriously for months.
[official] GSG 9 are still on hold for orders. What shall I tell them?
Just wait. For now.
The Chancellor and Mayor's office are waiting for updates.
We have three million people with no transport system
and panic starting.
The Chancellor will not wait.
This is now an operational command center.
Anyone who doesn't report to me, set up elsewhere.
Everyone else, out.
[scoffs, chuckles, mutters in German]
- [in German] Mr. Diehl. - Yes?
[in English] The map.
I wanna see where he is and where he's heading.
- Nothing else. - Okay.
[Ada, in German] Okay, good.
I want a direct line to all tactical units.
Of course.
And I want confirmation that the whole network has been evacuated.
- [in English] That's today. - What?
Nelson's son, Kai,
was killed in a car accident a year ago today.
He believes Kai was murdered
by John Bailey-Brown.
And now he wants, what, justice?
[Olivia] Or…
Revenge.
[wind whistling]
[fire crackling]
[somber music plays]
[Olivia] Okay, so this is the man who Sam believes murdered his son.
It's dated 25th July.
Immigration at the port of Hamburg.
And he thinks it's John Bailey-Brown?
He spent months tracking him.
He says this proves Bailey-Brown is in Germany.
[Ada] And now Mr. Nelson is a murderer too.
Check Hamburg border records, CCTV.
I'm going to speak to him again.
You're going to use the girl?
Unless you have a better idea?
I can help. Guide her.
Reading men like this, extremists of all kinds,
it's what I do.
If we can get under his skin,
maybe we can end this.
[tense music playing]
[baby crying]
- [intercom chimes] - [electronic voice] Jannowitzbrücke.
[passengers chattering]
[Sam] Who has access to this camera?
No one. It's internal.
- You sure? - Mm-hmm.
- Doesn't go to control? - No.
They can't see us in here?
No, it just goes to this hard drive.
- Where? - There's a hard drive in there.
Exactly.
[Clara, through radio] Sam?
How we doing, Clara?
[Clara] I'm sorry, we haven't been able to locate the man you're looking for yet.
We're trying.
[Sam] Okay, he will have very powerful people working for him.
You need to be asking yourself who that is.
We're looking into the Hamburg CCTV. But we need more time.
And your assurance that no one else will be hurt.
Photo first.
[pen scribbling]
[softly] Okay.
[radio clicks, beeps]
I know you're a father, Sam.
There are families on this train.
Children.
They must be so scared.
Who's there with you?
We want to understand. So we can help.
Because I don't think you want to hurt anyone.
- Not really. - You…
You do not know anything about me, okay?
We know why you want John Bailey-Brown.
We know what he did to your son.
I'm sorry…
about Kai.
[exhales sharply]
Whoever's there with you, I-I want to speak to them. Now.
Hello, Sam.
My name is Peter Faber.
I'm with British Intelligence.
I want to end this without anyone else dying.
Okay, Faber, you don't know anything about me
or what I'm fucking capable of. Okay?
What happened to that passenger, it can happen to someone else
if I do not get exactly what I need.
[tense music plays]
[crew members speaking German]
They haven't got the fire under control. We can't go down there.
[sighs] And the robot?
Thank you. [grunts]
[sighs]
- [faint chattering on TV in German] - [camera shutter clicking]
Excuse me…
Thank you.
Mmm.
[reporter] I must interrupt you to bring some breaking news.
With the police refusing to comment officially…
…we are now hearing reports from an anonymous source:
…there has been a fatality following an explosion at Alexanderplatz.
[Ada] Great, so now we have a leak.
Get your shit together.
[in English] If the passengers find out, it might force Nelson's hand.
[Olivia] It's all over social media.
You said it's all about control, what did you mean?
The stuff in his file.
[stammers] Every detail, it is meticulous.
He spent a year putting this together.
So he's a clever man.
Patient man.
And he kills an innocent passenger randomly,
within an hour.
No way back.
Does that strike you as odd?
He's angry and desperate.
But he didn't flinch.
We all saw that. [grunts]
He showed absolute self-mastery.
Killing someone for the first time, it exacts a price.
I've seen it.
Not for him.
Where are we on Bailey-Brown?
We have the Hamburg entry lists.
Okay, and?
[official] Nothing that's flagging as an alias, or counterfeit.
We're waiting for the footage
but I doubt we'll find anything conclusive.
[Ada] We're gonna run out of time.
Oh, shit.
Sorry, whose bike is this?
Uh, he went into your carriage. Uh, Freddie, I think.
[in German] Ah, the mandarin.
[in English] Whatever he is. He's, uh… He's gone to check on the driver.
Oh. Then he won't need his bike. Can I? Sorry.
Sam went too. The English guy.
[student] What?
There's been an incident on the U-Bahn.
- Sorry, what did you say? - [student] What?
It says a bomb threat on the U8.
Well, that's not us.
Well, it is now. Since we diverted.
What if we're the incident?
You've seen this thing in Berlin?
What?
[reporter] Reports are coming in of a suspected terrorist incident…
- Subway hijack. - …on Berlin's U-Bahn.
There are rumors of an explosion. The entire network has been closed…
[Sam] What the hell?
- [Lukas] Hello! - [sighs]
Hello!
[Sam] Not a fucking word. Okay?
- Yeah? Hey. - Hey.
Is everything all right with, uh… with the train?
The passengers are getting a little worried.
[Sam] No, everything's under control.
The driver asked for my help.
- Okay. - Yeah.
[stammers] Just because, um,
there's some stuff on the news about a, uh, terror alert.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
Um, I haven't heard anything about that.
I would just get back to your seat, yeah?
- Yeah? - Yeah.
[Sam] Everything's fine.
- All right. - Yeah.
Okay.
[in German] Is everything okay up there?
- [in English] I just told you. - I'm just checking.
[in German] All good, thanks.
[in English] All right.
[door opens, closes]
What's going on?
[whispering] Something's up with this train.
Is Sam okay?
I don't know, but something weird is going on.
All right. Let's go. Kids, who's up for a quick quiz?
[kids grumbling]
[speaks German]
You heard an explosion?
I don't know. I just couldn't hear anymore.
We were already halfway out of the station when they said it detonated.
It's all a bit of a blur.
Well let's try to get some clarity…
[official] They're sending the robot in right now.
Good, although it won't help us find John Bailey-Brown.
And we don't have long…
[Olivia, in English] I, uh, spoke to a contact in the Justice Department.
And the reason there is no record of John Bailey-Brown
is that no one at all entered the port of Hamburg
between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on the 25th of July.
Which is, I'm gonna say, unlikely.
Someone deleted it?
The data was accessed from an IP address outside of your organization
traced to Schwäbische Strasse?
Schwäbische Strasse?
Schwäbische Strasse.
[tense music plays]
[exhales sharply]
Yeah.
I'll call you back.
It was you who deleted the records from Hamburg.
- Uh, this is above her security clear-- - Schwäbische Strasse.
It's the location of a very unremarkable building
loaned by the German government to the British
for deniable operations, shall we say?
That's why you're here in Germany, isn't it?
MI5 have John Bailey-Brown.
And you're protecting him.
Why?
I don't think you grasp the situation.
A man is dead,
and we are about to become a global news story because of you.
Give me what I need, right now,
or I will brief the media that British Intelligence have Bailey-Brown
and are gambling with the lives of innocent civilians.
There's a few minutes left, Clara.
Have you got me what I need?
[sighs]
I'm sorry, Sam. We're still working on it.
- Lang. - They know we've got him.
How?
[sighs] Lock him down, take a photo.
Find out who the fuck talked.
Okay, chief.
[dog barking]
- [in German] We have a visitor. - Copy.
[knocks on door]
[indistinct chattering on TV]
[in English] Okay, so MI5 has come to see how German Intelligence handles things.
Where is he?
[toilet flushes]
Can't even piss in peace.
What?
[Clara] Sam?
You were right.
John Bailey-Brown is here. In Berlin.
Send a photo to the number I gave you.
As soon as I receive that we can talk about ending this.
Here.
Mm-hmm.
Actually really horrible.
Well, it's a beer and a double cheeseburger for you then after this.
Once this is over.
I'm plant-based.
You might even make it to your very important meeting.
I'm a sustainability consultant.
But it's bullshit, really. Just…
greenwashing for rich companies.
Well, once I get this photo…
You'll be able to do what you want.
[chuckles]
[phone buzzes]
[speaks German]
[in English] I received something.
- [chuckles] - You got it?
Yeah.
[Clara] Is that it, Sam? That's what you wanted, yes?
[Sam] Yes. Thank you, Clara.
[sighs, breathing deeply]
So…
Nelson contacted you directly at the embassy?
With the CCTV still?
Yeah.
You're new to all this.
Let me guess, no one there takes you seriously.
They foist all the oddballs and eccentrics off on you.
Tell me why you have Bailey-Brown. Why he isn't in prison yet.
We've been working with German Intelligence to bring him in.
He's a known flight risk…
So we had to keep it under wraps.
We're going to extradite him to the UK where he will go to prison.
Just need to get my ducks in a row first.
Right.
Anyway, Nelson's given you a rather more interesting day
- than you could have imagined. - [groans]
And, well, you'll appreciate the irony, Ms. Thatcher.
Sam and I.
We both want the same thing.
[tense music playing]
Bailey-Brown to be brought to justice for what he did.
[music continues]
I'm in position.
Got eyes on her now.
Yeah, copy that.
[dramatic music playing]
[alarms blaring]
[in German] Look at this.
Could be something?
How?
So where's the smoke coming from?
[robot whirring]
[Freddie, in English] I could open a bike shop, or a juice bar.
Yeah.
Berlin needs more of them.
A bike shop with a juice bar inside.
[chuckles]
[Clara, on radio] Okay, Sam. You have the photo. What now?
- [phone buzzes] - I…
Sam?
Are you there?
[phone buzzes]
[dramatic sting plays]
Sam?
[muffled] Sam?
Are you there?
Now I need John Bailey-Brown brought to me.
[tense music playing]
Or what happened to Freddie…
will happen to someone else.
[Ada] That won't be necessary.
Because I have a better offer.
[softly] Fuck.
I will have John Bailey-Brown brought
- to the public prosecutor's office today. - Ada. What?
In full view of the media.
He will face justice.
True justice, for what he did.
I swear I'll do this for you.
For your son.
That's what you want, isn't it?
[melancholic music playing]
But it's not what I asked for.
Now bring him to me.
[sighs]
This is a good outcome, isn't it?
If this guy really killed your son, you can say it sent you crazy.
- They'll go easy on you. - You don't understand.
Take what she's offering.
You think this is me?
That if I just wanna let you go, I could, but I can't.
Because this isn't me doing this.
It's the mother of my son.
- Okay? - [Freddie] These people they…
they want the police to believe it's all you?
[Sam] That's why they chose today.
The anniversary.
[breathes deeply]
These people killed my son, and now they're gonna kill his mother.
[sighs]
[door opens]
[knocks on window]
- [local 1] You all right there, pal? - You lost or something?
No, no. Just enjoying the scenery.
[tense music playing]
[indistinct chatter through radio]
[in German] Fire brigade are saying it started in the bin.
Okay.
And he shut off the cameras?
No bomb?
Looks like it. We will know more soon.
[sighs]
[phone buzzes]
What's the latest?
[in English] He faked it all.
There were no explosives, so go ahead.
You can say, "I told you so."
[official, in German] We have units in position at the next station.
[sighs]
[in English] If he really is bluffing, it's time to take back control.
[straining]
- [local 2] You all right there? - [grunts]
[panting] Is there a knack to this that I'm not getting?
- It's called a chainsaw. - [chuckles]
You didn't, um, order a cab, did you?
- No, why? - Oh. I wondered.
Just… It's that bloke down the lane.
[tense music playing]
- What bloke? - [local 2] Some twat in a black SUV,
too clean to be local.
Ah. It's probably nothing.
[sinister music playing]
[music intensifies]
[exhales sharply]
- [on phone] This is Winter. - We found a burner phone
in the bomb maker's apartment.
The last number called was Sam Nelson's.
It was arson at Alexanderplatz.
The whole thing looks like a hoax.
No, no, no. It can't be.
The briefcase the hostage carried had no bomb.
Listen to me. There is a bomb.
If it wasn't in that briefcase, then it's somewhere else.
[mysterious music playing]
[Faber] This is your chance to end this.
I am not sending marksmen.
- If there's another bomb-- - Not marksmen.
Let me speak to him face to face.
Let me end this without anyone dying.
It's too risky.
[Faber] Let an old spy ply his trade.
I've worked with killers for 30 years.
And Sam Nelson is not one of them.
[Otto] Thirty-five minutes.
What?
[Otto] You said it would take 30 minutes before they realized you were bluffing.
But it's been 35.
[Freddie] How will we know?
That they've figured it out.
[speaks German]
[system buzzing]
[speaks German]
[passengers gasp, clamor]
- I hate this. - What the fuck?
Well, there's your answer.
[brakes squeal]
[passengers clamoring]
[Colin] Everybody stay calm, all right? Kids, stay calm.
Use your phones if you have to.
Everybody… [stammers] …we're gonna stay calm.
[George] Sir, sir, what's going on? Are we stuck?
- [door rattling] - [Colin] We're staying calm.
What happened to the power?
[Clara] It's a fail-safe. Automatic.
Because of the fire spreading.
We are trying to get the power back on for you.
How quickly can you get the power back on?
A few minutes.
Listen to me. If this train is not moving very, very soon,
I will hold you responsible for escalating this.
[tense music playing]
Understood.
Yes, all your demands will be met.
We just need a little time to fix the power.
They won't turn it back on.
[stammering] The power cut, does it kill everything?
Yeah. No Wi-Fi, no live feeds.
It's a complete black hole.
The only thing is, uh…
Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?
It's only a switch for the emergency light. Here.
- Wi-Fi and phone signal's gone. - No way.
Shit.
And there's no way we can turn the power on ourselves?
No. No way. It's all centralized.
Do we have anything we can use?
Like a real bomb? Weapon?
They're not gonna arm a guy they're trying to set up.
They gave you nothing?
This is a game of poker.
You don't have to have the best hand to win, you just have to have the best bluff.
[Freddie] And what if they call that bluff?
Huh, what then?
Do I have to die for real?
[Knight Rider playing on phone]
["Knight Rider" theme song playing]
[in German] Excuse me.
Where are the trains parked at night?
Lost Property is Rudolfstrasse.
[vending machine beeps, whirs]
I'm looking for a bomb.
[tense music playing]
[automated voice on PA speaking German]
[in English] Ladies and gentlemen. This station is closed.
Please head to the nearest exit.
[keys jangling]
[PA chimes]
[automated voice speaking German]
[in English] Ladies and gentlemen. This station is closed.
Please head to the nearest exit.
[Beck, in German] And you're sure it was parked here last night?
[worker] Yes.
[mysterious music playing]
Is that snow?
[George] Sir, I need to get off the train.
- Right now. - It won't be long.
You've been saying that for two hours now, and we all know it's bullshit.
They're talking about a bomb, sir. I'm scared.
Listen, we're… we're all scared.
Okay? We're all scared.
[Sam] Shit.
I…
I need to talk to you.
Outside in the tunnel.
What about me?
We're just gonna make sure that the tunnel's safe.
They haven't blocked us in like last time. Okay, I just need you to stay here
just a little bit longer. Okay?
It'll be over soon, right?
Hey.
I'm not gonna hurt you. Or anyone on this train.
All right, but I just need you to trust me.
And if you can do that, I'll make sure everyone gets home… safe.
So, you want to check they're not trying to block us again?
No. On the train they've got eyes on us somehow.
I don't know how…
but they're listening to us.
[whispering] With the power off in the dark, I think we can end this.
How do you want to do this?
You've got landlines right?
Down in the tunnels?
Yes. [stammering] They're like
- every 500 meters. - Okay.
I want you to run to one of these landlines.
Okay, get the British police on the line.
All right. Tell them Marsha Smith-Nelson is in danger.
Okay, Marsha Smith-Nelson.
[stammering] Is that your…
- your kid's mother? - Yes, that's her.
Oh.
If we get Marsha to safety, everyone goes home.
[breathes deeply] Okay.
- Okay. [sighs] - Okay.
- [Sam] Oh, shit. [grunts] - I'm sorry.
[solemn music playing]
What is that?
What do you mean?
[Clara, on radio] Sam, come in. Are you there? Sam?
[in German] Otto, what's going on?
[slow beeping]
[in English] Fuck.
[Otto speaks German]
What is it?
They told me Marsha would die if I failed.
[Otto] It's… It's all of us, too.
[Sam sighs]
- I say we open the doors. - It isn't safe, guys.
If the power comes back on--
I'll take my chances, thank you.
All right, Fran. Get your fingers in there…
- Hey. Hey. You'll get people killed. - [Orla] Fuck off!
- [teacher] Hey! Oi, what are you doing? - [passengers clamoring]
Wait. Otto, come here.
Otto.
[Clara, in German] Otto, can you hear me?
Why aren't you answering?
Is someone there?
- Hello? - [Clara] Hello?
- Hello? - Hello?
- [Sam, in English] What are you doing? - You wanted me to go. I can still go.
- Alert the police. - No. No fucking way. Okay?
You see all those people on that train? Your passengers?
- Okay? - [whimpers]
We just gotta keep going.
[panting] How? By killing Freddie?
They're not paying me enough for that.
- Let me go. - Hey. Listen.
No one is dying today.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Clara, in German] If you need help and you're unable to talk…
just press the green button.
[door slides]
[Freddie, in English] Hey! Wait… No… No…
[grunting]
- Shit! Hey! - [grunting]
Oi!
Wait!
[Marsha screams]
Just do it!
Fucking kill me! I don't care!
This will go a lot easier if you just listen to me.
[Marsha] Who sent you?
What's going on?
[suspenseful music playing]
[music builds]
[Mei screams]
Come on!
- Come on. - [Otto] Yeah.
Fuck.
What the fuck?
- Why did you… Why did you do it? - Go back to your seat.
No. No, why did you--
[breathing shakily]
[melancholic music playing]
[Sam] I'm so sorry.
[Otto] What are we going to do?
[sighs, breathing heavily]
[helicopter blades thrumming]
[radio chatter in German]
[speaks German]
[radio chatter continues]
[speaks German]
[Faber, in English] Where's the train?
[commander] Down the tunnel. One hundred meters.
- [officer] Go, team. - [commander] Follow.
[in German] Stay close. Tight formation.
[in English] Stay right behind me.
If anything happens, we'll pull you out.
This way.
[in German] They're in position.
[in English] Faber is nearing the train now.
GSG 9 are moving into position to cover him.
[breathes deeply]
I hope this is the right decision.
[in German] Get me Wolf. Faber may be down there, but this is my operation.
[in English] And Sam?
What'll happen to him?
[Ada] My primary concern is the 200 passengers on the train.
Hang back.
It's fine.
[tense music playing]
- [megaphone clicks] - Sam.
It's me, Peter Faber.
Come and talk to me, Sam.
- Let's resolve this. - [panting]
I know you're not a killer, Sam.
You don't want to hurt anyone.
I know you're just a father grieving his son.
[Sam] Go on, keep coming…
[Wolf, in German] On the platform…
What is that?
[in English] Stay here, we'll check it out.
[in German] We have a visual. Somebody on the platform.
[Ada] What do you mean? Who is it?
Move up. Cover me.
Wolf, do you copy? Who is it?
[Wolf] It's the passenger. The one with the briefcase.
[Ada] What? He's alive?!
[Wolf] Negative.
[Otto, in English] Now what?
[radio beeps]
[Sam] Clara, I warned you what would happen if you escalated things.
Sam.
I would like to end this now.
As I'm sure would you.
[Sam] If only it was that easy.
This train is rigged with explosives.
Turn the power back on and let me pass,
or you'll have a lot more than one dead body on your hands.
What happened?
Hello? What happened?
[train clanks]
Thank fuck for that.
- [radio chatter] - [Wolf speaks German]
[Wolf] Our orders are to stand down.
[in German] Listen up!
We've got to let the train go through.
