ALARM BLARES OVERHEAD

We are convinced that behind all this is a single individual.

Mahamoud Muntasir.

They are old friends. He donated 20 million to her campaign.

December 14, 2013, Inger Johanne Vik was in New York.

The same night she filed charges with NYPD. Assault.

-Rape.

-Exactly what are you trying to do here?

SHE GROANS WITH EFFORT

Madam President, we need to get you some water and an ambulance.

Nobody can know that you have found me.

Promise me.

So, Mr Muntasir, on Friday you asked me willy-nilly

to buy gold and commodities.

Yes.

So I did.

I bought a lot.

Is there something you know that the rest of the world doesn't?

I certainly hope so.

I put on a few trades of my own.

-Good.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

VACUUM CLEANER SWITCHED OFF

Madam President.

Helen.

SHE GASPS

It's infected.

-You have a fever. We need to get help.

-No.

This looks like blood poisoning.

That's serious - you can die.

If the wrong person comes in this room, I'm dead already.

You've been in that smoke stack for over 24 hours,

the whole world is looking...

I need to tell you something.

I don't trust the FBI.

I don't trust anyone in the factions of the FBI.

I don't trust anyone.

I'll need time to think this through.

SHE MOANS GENTLY

MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES

Please tell me you've got a fix on Inger Johanne?

I'm out! You're in way over your head on this.

We had a deal!

I heard you're not the right person to have a deal with at the moment.

You've got to be fucking kidding me!

We've never talked. Don't call me again.

LINE DISCONNECTS AND BEEPS

BANGING, SHE GROANS

CALL ALERT

Hello?

-Oh, about time!

-We'll have to make it quick.

I'm just sending you the intercept of the conversation with

Hanna Russell's wife.

Why couldn't you just get it yourself?

I'd figured you'd be sat at the embassy with the other fat bosses.

Well, we're not exactly in their good books these days.

-No?

-The Bureau is phasing us out.

They don't believe us, they don't read our reports.

They won't consider anything but an Islamist conspiracy.

Homeland Security just sent a top secret report.

-I have never in my professional life read a report so...

-Please, Warren.

I really don't think we should talk about this.

They cannot see what is under their nose.

When Wall Street opens tomorrow, gold and commodities are going to

sky rocket and the rest of the Dow will crash and burn!

This has nothing to do with Isil!

Warren, I've got to go now.

100 came to Stockholm 16 days prior to the president's visit.

-Did he mention any places he'd visited?

-No.

The only thing he said was Sweden sometimes resembled

the countryside over here.

Did he say where?

Only that it was in the country.

It was close to a place he said reminded him of his childhood home.

What did his childhood home look like, do you know?

They moved out of there before we met. It was repossessed.

KNOCK ON DOOR

What part of...?

You got a minute?

So you're all nicely settled in at the embassy?

-Got all your gear?

-Yeah, we'll manage.

How many guys you got there now?

Enough.

Enough.

So, what's going on?

It is my job to liaise with our Swedish colleagues, you know?

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

The Swedes are going to throw a shit fit

when they find out what you guys are up to.

Well, our ambassador is keeping touch with the Swedish

administration.

The police,

they're being continually briefed on everything that we do.

Really?

Well... Ah, you know.

Yeah.

I know.

Warren Schifford, I'm going to need

your gun and your phone and your car keys.

There's going to be a car, coming downstairs,

it's going to pick you up in an hour.

You're going home.

CAR ENGINE STARTS AND VEHICLE DRIVES AWAY

What are you doing here?

I heard a dog and some man.

Yes, they've gone.

Please, come with me.

My arm!

-I've called a doctor.

-Oh, no!

-Please! Your infection can be fatal.

-Who is it?

-How do you know this doctor?

-We can trust her.

Sorry, but I think we should try to clean this.

Why did you follow Hunter Russell down the tunnel?

You told me that he was killed.

Shot.

By an FBI agent.

FBI agent?

And... And who was the FBI agent?

Warren Schifford.

What did you say your name was again?

Inger Johanne Vik.

You know him!

You worked with him at the FBI in DC.

Yes. I did.

I think you should try to get some rest now.

RINGING TONE ON PHONE

You've reached Martin Johnson at the US Embassy.

-Please leave a message and I'll get back to you. Thanks.

-BEEP

Where the fuck are you? We had a deal.

I need to know where that tracker is, now.

Do you hear me?

BEEP

Fuck!

I'm Hedvig, and I'm a doctor.

And I'm going to take a look at you now.

Are you sure we can trust her?

Yes. Absolutely.

You are dehydrated. I'm going to give you an IV.

And just for safe, I'm adding some antibiotics.

Now, it's going to sting.

Good.

-Is she OK?

-Yeah, she's fine. She's just tired.

You know, the last weeks of pregnancy?

-Yeah.

-You know how it is.

And then you cut it into tiny cubes, less than an inch.

I didn't know the president had time to cook.

Well, not any more. But this is something she taught me years ago.

-Try.

-OK. Thanks.

CHOPPING ON BOARD

Do you think she's dead?

CHOP LANDS HEAVILY

No.

-Of course not!

-Yes, you do.

I can tell.

Sweetheart, look, I just... I think we're all a little bit stressed.

I don't! I know she's alive. I can feel it.

Top officials within the FBI have confirmed that they

are investigating

if the disappearance of President Helen Tyler is

an act of revenge following last month's bombings of terrorist

training camps in Northern Iraq and Afghanistan...

-Terrorists!

-So, you don't think it's terrorists?

-..reasons to believe the dramatic events...

-No.

..that took place in Stockholm were nothing but a...

You know her quite well, don't you?

She was engaged to my brother Saleem. They were expecting a baby.

Then he was killed.

-I'm sorry. I didn't...

-SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

Racist attack, New York.

Helen was beside herself. Inconsolable.

Lost the child.

The police did nothing.

Authorities did nothing.

For them, he was just another Arab.

And it was that injustice that made Helen go into politics.

And that's why I have always supported her.

-Always?

-Yes.

Before she became what she is now.

..any further details on the ongoing investigation.

MONITOR BEEPS REGULARLY

Thank you, Senator Tyler.

Is it true that you want to hand over the security of American

ports to an Arab company?

That is not correct.

Just let me make myself clear -

I believe, and have always believed,

that American security must be kept in American hands.

..and if so, what would that look like?

RECORDING FAST FORWARDS

American security must be kept in American hands.

It's in my manifesto.

America must always...

So, this is Ingvar Nymann

and this is Max Kane, our new liaison officer.

Warren is out, sent home, gone!

-Really?

-Yeah. Well, not exactly.

What do you mean, not exactly?

Well, we had a car ready to take him to the airport an hour ago

and he didn't turn up.

I mean, it's his choice, he can stay in Stockholm, he's a free man,

but...we don't know where he is.

I wonder if you have any ideas of his whereabouts?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Well, you're not at work.

How come you ended up behind a desk?

Ended up?

No offence, but you just seem the kind of girl who, er,

likes excitement.

I spent several years at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

And among other things,

I worked as an interpreter for a disaster relief organisation.

Then Syria got too dangerous.

And Aleppo was really too much for me.

I just had to come home.

So, this abduction of the president

is more than enough excitement for me.

What was it that you wanted me to help you with?

I need you to find someone for me.

He's a driver with the US Embassy who's helped me out on occasions.

But I can't get hold of him.

Do you think you can help me with that?

MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES

Don't answer!

You need to turn off that phone, now!

I'm grateful for everything that you've done

but maybe it's time that you went home.

I don't to expose you to any more danger.

We're not going anywhere.

-Martin Johnson?

-Yes.

Can I talk to you for a second?

RAIN PATTERS HEAVILY

SHE GASPS, SNAPPING

SMASH!

It's from Warren Schifford.

As a professional, how would you assess Warren Schifford?

Extremely skilled.

Sharp.

Career driven.

Deductive.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Unpredictable.

Vindictive.

Emotional.

Can't take no for an answer.

You fell for him, didn't you?

You fell for him.

Do you believe he can be trusted?

Well, I...

I once wrote an article...

..Female Shame...

..for the Journal of Forensic Psychology, but, um...

..Warren took all the credit.

And, er...

when he realised that I had exposed his lying...

SLAPPING

Ingvar, you got a minute?

I have something for you.

You're welcome.

It's time for me to let them know where I am.

Homeland Security are very concerned about this professional

assassin that they've hired.
