Where is she now? She cleared off. Now what?

We've got to get on.

Hello?

DOOR OPENS

COUGHING

Do you know how to play?

Where's Mummy?

How'd it go? Fine. Everything is shut down and

the cooling is now only from the external sources.

And then the day shift will take over, as we planned.

Very good.

There you go.

How long will they be out?

An hour or something. OK.

Good.

Bye.

Hey. Hey.

Gunvald!

How close did you get? 150 metres.

And around it? Nothing.

Nothing? No.

No surveillance?

No, no. And how quickly can we get there?

From the road? Yeah. 20 minutes, I've timed it.

OK. I've tested them.

The sound is fantastic.

Everyone will be able to hear and be heard the whole time.

And here are your weapons.

You really think they'll be necessary?

I mean, the guards in the central security posts will be unarmed.

I sincerely hope we don't need to use them, Pino.

But, uh...

..we can't take any risks.

Are we set?

Yeah. But weren't we going to wait for confirma...?

Yes, we were going to wait for confirmation,

but considering what happened to Melina,

the schedule has been changed for obvious reasons.

Where's Kim? She's asleep, she was up all night.

Could you wake her up, please?

Kim, George wants to speak to you.

OK. What are you doing?

I'm meditating.

I'll be with you in a sec.

OK.

HE SINGS

HE SINGS

Will it be made clear in the film?

That we can set it off by remote control?

I hope so.

And if they don't believe us?

They'll have to believe us.

Besides, we're doing it for their sake as well.

You look very tired.

I couldn't sleep.

How is Tom?

He's fine.

Where is he?

Why can't I see him?

Birgitte, he is just a child.

He must... Kim.

Birgitte, please.

Kim.

I'm sorry.

I... I think it's perfectly vile

that we've had to involve a child in this.

Then why are you doing it?

You haven't given us much choice.

We've been planning this operation for over a year now,

you know that.

We can't pull out now.

And without you it can't be done.

And besides, Kim, we're doing this for Tom, aren't we?

For both his and future generations. Where is he?

He's all right. He's all right?!

Yes, he's all right. We're taking care of him.

You know we wouldn't harm a hair on his head.

As long as I do as you say.

As long as you do what you've been wanting to do for years now!

Come on, Kim, you were one of the most enthusiastic

when I first presented this idea, weren't you?

And then you brought in Tim and Andy,

the most untrustworthy people we have!

You know exactly what happened in the gene bank in Kuala Lumpur.

They went totally bananas!

And everything went wrong and Bernard died.

Yes, I agree, that was unfortunate.

That means you know what my reaction was when you took them on board.

But you still took the job, didn't you?

You went on according to plan, you gave no indication

that you wanted to pull out! It grew steadily.

Well, I'm sorry. It's a bit late for that, unfortunately.

It's his birthday today.

Mama

He can stay an hour.

MOBILE RINGS

What is it?

I think somebody's tailing us.

You sure?

Yeah.

Go right!

Whoa! Slow down!

He's coming up beside us!

I think we lost him

Oh, shit, go, go, go! He's beside us! Go, go, go!

Go back! Turn around, come on!

OK, OK!

Easy!

Hey.

And is he dead?

I think so.

Do we call off the operation? No.

Can we take over Philipe's assignment?

Well, most of it's already prepared, yeah.

I can go in and take the physical part and, uh...

Let's do it.

What about Kim?

That guy on the quay, he must have been tipped off, right?

So what do we do with her?

Well, we need Kim.

And we still have Tom.

I'm going to have to have a chat with her.

So, he... He's going to have a little chat with her.

Sometimes I wonder if he really understands what we're doing here.

She's put the whole operation at risk.

I don't understand why she was brought in to begin with.

She's too soft. She's good, she's taken part in several...

How far is she prepared to go?

If the situation aggravates.

Will she be willing to detonate the explosives?

They're not even supposed to be detonated.

How do you know that?

What if they don't show the film? Yeah, and?

How do you know what's going to happen?

Oh, come on...

We-We're not going to actually do it?

Philipe was shot and killed today.

Melina died in the tunnel.

You are responsible for the deaths of two EJM members.

They were your comrades!

We are involved in a higher cause here,

but not one that involves the spilling of blood.

You have done that!

And we still have Tom.

Who was he?

Who?

The guy who did the shooting.

No idea.

No idea.

No.

Did he die, too?

From now on, Kim, you will be guarded day and night.

DOOR OPENS Hey.

Nuclear energy is a death threat

to all of humanity.

After the film has been shown, we will remove the explosives.

If you do not show the film

we will take out the remaining transformer station,

causing a meltdown at Forsmark within 90 minutes.

We are linked to your channel and will wait exactly 35 minutes.

That's OK? Good.

Let's wrap it up.

Let's do it.

Shit, I forgot something. What?

The camera cable.

Could you hurry, please? Yeah.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Hey!

OK.

Eyes are out. OK.

We're ready here. OK, we're on our way.

The fourth generator is down.

HE SHOUTS OUT

The generator has been taken out.

Go ahead and upload the film to the TV station.

'End Justifies Means has just taken out four generators

'at Forsmark nuclear power station.

'The cooling of the reactor is now dependent on

'a singular transformer station.'

We have placed explosives there, as you're about to see.

We demand that you interrupt all programmes

and broadcast this film instead.

We also demand that the appropriate Swedish authorities confirm live

on television the true vulnerability of all nuclear power stations.

What we have done here can be repeated at any nuclear power

station anywhere in the world

by people whose objectives are far different than ours.

Nuclear energy is a death threat to all of humanity.

After the film has been shown, we will remove the explosives.

If the film is not shown, we will detonate the remaining transformer

station, resulting in a meltdown at Forsmark within 90 minutes.

We are linked to your channel and will wait exactly 35 minutes.

MURMURING

Haven't they shown it?

No. Nothing yet.

How long do we wait?

The security units will take 45 minutes to get here.

Yeah, after they sound the alarm.

They will have alerted them the minute the film arrived.

And how long ago was that?

35 minutes. So what do we do if they don't react?

Then we show the world that we're really serious about this.

We blow up the transformer station. That would be a perfect example.

I'm going to go there.

Let me know the minute you've seen the film and then come and

pick us up with the other car.

OK. Take me to the other car.

They haven't shown it yet. I'm on my way.

GUNSHOT

Put your hands on your head.

Now!

'George? George, have they shown the film?

'George!'

George?

Come on, answer me!

Why isn't he answering?

George?

Where's Kim?

Where is Kim?

GUNSHOT Where is Kim?

Has something happened?

HELICOPTER APPROACHING

Well, what the fuck do we do now?

FROM HELICOPTER: 'Attention. The area is secured by the police.

'Lay down on the ground. Keep your hands stretched out.'

We blow it up.

'I repeat, lay down on the ground,

'keep your hands stretched out with your face down.'

OK.

No! Kim!

Kim!

Give me the box.

I won't do it.

Just give me the box.

'Attention. This is the police. Drop your weapons.

'Drop your weapons and lay down on the ground.'

GUNSHOT

BELL TOLLS

I have some sense that there is some kind of malice at work here.

They do not see that the workhouse is for their own safety.

Welcome back, Inspector.
