Gingerbread Odyssey

This programme contains some violent scenes from the start

-I must find the right time.

-6pm tomorrow. Finish it.

SOC was funding al-Qaeda. We can show people the truth.

But the man who framed me is now a US senator.

-Senator!

-I'm looking for an American woman.

You brought him to me because you were trying to help them.

You will give me the phone number

-for your Osela contact.

-GUNSHOT

You bitch! Now we're both dead.

WHISPERING

You think of escape, but there is none.

Who are you?

I am of my people.

A protector.

You have killed many.

I know that you're angry. I'm an American soldier.

But I didn't come to your country to kill.

You bring death, Odelle Ballard.

-No.

-You will suffer.

Why are you doing this to me?

Is this Luc?

You can't trust him.

I did what I had to do to survive.

You know what you have done.

No, please. That's important.

Please don't take that.

No, please, don't...

I didn't mean any harm.

You have eyes, but you do not see.

-See what?

-Death.

It is the only way.

No.

SHE SCREAMS

Agh!

What did you do? Sell her?

How much did they pay you?

You're a coward.

What are you doing?

Calling Odelle.

She doesn't have a phone.

In America.

I'm calling her in America.

Why are you doing this? The Oselas will come.

That's right, genius. Then the Oselas will come.

But why are you doing that?

It's called an out. An exit.

A way through this mess you and your girlfriend have got me in.

They will come, they will see I've done their dirty work for them,

they will thank me, and then they will leave me the hell alone.

How could you do this to her?

Oh, yeah, why would I betray Odelle Ballard

after all she has done for me?

Yes. Why? Explain it to me.

Trust me, the way she was going,

she would have had us all killed.

You don't know that.

Death is the only way.

I'll be back.

The suspect, identified as wanted terrorist

Yusuf Ibrahim Qasim,

will be arraigned later today

for the murder of Senator Thomas Darnell.

At this time, we believe the suspect acted alone,

but we have stepped up security protocols

throughout the New York metropolitan area.

Excuse me, how did a known terrorist

get into this country and live here

for several years without detection?

What evidence do you have that Yusuf Qasim

is a terrorist at all?

And isn't it true that Mr Qasim

was branded a terrorist to silence him?

What about the Joint Terrorism Task Force?

Nobody had the Jack of Spades under surveillance?

Senator Darnell was CEO of GBR Industries.

That's all the questions we have time for. Thank you.

Yusuf Qasim discovered GBR was engaged

in criminal activity in Pakistan.

Isn't that why Darnell branded him a terrorist?

To silence him.

I saw you.

The drone protest on Coney Island.

So?

You were meeting Yusuf.

I'm Peter Decker. You're Harrison Walters?

Randall Walters was your father?

Is that why Yusuf Qasim trusted you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm Yusuf's lawyer.

At least I used to be.

We need to talk.

Give me five minutes.

Why are you doing this?

Can you feel the suffering?

This is what you have caused to so many.

You know this.

Please!

I don't... I don't understand.

You must see the pain you have caused.

I see. I see.

You are close. SHE COUGHS

But how can you understand death when your blood runs red?

-Huh?

-Life is in you.

You cannot see unless you die.

Ah! Please! Please, no!

You're right. He's not a terrorist.

So, er, defence lawyer?

Actually, no. I was a US attorney.

Why... Er, how did you meet Yusuf?

Mutual friend.

I was trying to get him out of the country.

You said your father was killed because of what he knew.

What did you mean?

My father met Yusuf five years ago

when he was writing a story on GBR Industries in Pakistan.

They became friends. He was...

He was my father's source.

How can I find that article?

-You can't. It was never published.

-Why not?

Threats.

Intimidation.

When I told my father about Odelle Ballard's unit

being killed in Mali,

he started asking questions again.

That's what got him killed.

I'm sorry for your loss.

But if your father was killed because of what he knew,

he must have had proof, evidence.

Did he have anything on a company called Societel Mining?

How does a former US attorney become Yusuf's lawyer?

Who was the mutual friend that introduced you?

I can't really say. But if your father has anything...

Documentation, notes,

anything that can incriminate Societel...

Who did you say you work for?

Currently I work for Simons-Wachtel.

Wealth Management. I'm in corporate intelligence.

You work for them.

I work for investors. Root out criminal behaviour.

Liability.

Or cover it up, right?

Why am I even talking to you?

You know what? No wonder Yusuf is sitting in jail.

Yusuf is in jail because he didn't trust me.

I wonder why.

Wait.

-Stay the hell away from me.

-You've got it wrong.

I'm not the enemy. We're on the same side.

PHONE RINGS

-Hey.

-'Sorry I'm running late.

'Where are you?'

Er, Federal Building.

Heading towards the subway on Chambers.

'Wait there. I'll pick you up.'

Pick me up?

CAR HORN BEEPS

Harrison.

-Where'd you get this?

-It's a rental. I felt like driving.

Hop in. Come on. Let's have some fun.

How was the press conference?

A joke. I met Peter Decker.

-Who's that?

-Lawyer representing Yusuf.

But he really works for Simons-Wachtel.

They've got this thing locked down from the inside out.

-So where are we going?

-I'm kidnapping you.

Where'd you learn to drive?

I like fast cars.

You're way too stressed.

HORN BLARES

I'm taking you out of the city.

I found a place on the beach.

It's too cold for the beach.

I'll keep you warm.

It's just for a night.

What beach?

King's Point.

Water, please.

Water.

Drink. SHE GAGS

It will open windows.

You will see clearly what you have done.

No, don't...leave me.

Please don't leave me.

SHE SCREAMS

Don't leave me!

Please don't leave me.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

No, please.

Hello?

Captain?

Captain Worthington?

Hello, Odelle.

What's happening? Why...

This is where I died.

Am I...

Oh, my God.

What did I tell you, Odelle?

Follow orders.

Please.

Am I dead?

This is on you. You killed me.

No, that was...that was Osela.

No. You made a choice.

-And now your entire unit, your friends, are all gone.

-No.

Are you happy now?

We only met briefly.

Serena?

Yes.

So are you happy now?

You like him.

You want him.

No. He's a horrible person.

I'm married. I have a daughter.

Let go, or you will kill them all.

Kill them all.

Let go, or you will kill them all.

Let go of what?

-Shakir?

-I know you blame yourself.

What's happening to me? What's happening?

What did you do?

I defied an order.

Of course you did.

And all of the people I've killed...

Not killed by you.

Serena.

Not your fault.

-And you.

-You have to stop.

-I can't.

-You know.

-Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it...

-You know.

SHE WAILS

SHE GAGS

You know what you did.

I killed you.

Now, you have to die.

SHE GROANS

Now are you ready?

Sassel Beach.

Where the hell were you?

-I hope you didn't screw this up.

-You got your wish.

Odelle is dead. Your problems are solved.

Slow down. We need to talk.

There is nothing left to say.

I never want to see you again.

Hey, stop.

You killed her!

Odelle is dead. We trusted you, and you killed her!

-I can explain.

-Leave me alone!

-Calm down. I can explain.

-Leave me!

Explain what?

Let me guess. Osela.

Yup.

And you are the white man travelling with Odelle Ballard.

Where is she?

Show me.

Not a problem.

Where'd you find this place?

Belongs to an editor friend. She's in Florida.

We have it all to ourselves.

SHE LAUGHS

HE FLINCHES Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

Where's Christine? She sick?

Um... no.

She's been reassigned.

What are you talking about?

Mr Decker, I'm...

What the hell is going on?

I don't know anything.

I was just told to pack up your things.

I see.

If you showed up, I was supposed to call security,

have you escorted out.

But maybe if you just leave...

Mr Decker...

Mr Decker, you can't go...

Perfect. The puppet and his puppeteer.

Peter, there's no sense in dragging this out.

The decision's been made.

Maybe we should consult Mr Baker on it, hmm?

Alex?

I'm calling security.

It's all right.

Frank, would you give us a moment?

Yeah.

You violated the terms of our arrangement, Peter.

I brought Tsaldari back to New York

like you wanted.

I know what you've been doing. Yusuf Qasim...

Tsaldari was intrigued by him.

I knew he was a waste of time. I needed her to trust me.

I... I've made progress with her.

You still need me.

Time's up, Peter. The election is over.

The election's not till tomorrow. I can still...

Peter, she is going to win.

She is the next Greek Prime Minister.

But don't you worry. Situation's under control.

Your services are no longer required.

She'll never agree to work with you.

-Not without me.

-Goodbye, Peter.

Best of luck finding yet another career.

She's inside that hut. Good luck to you.

No, no, no, no.

You go first.

Hell, no.

I don't do voodoo, man.

You want her? You get her.

Is this a trap?

The man in there is a medicine man.

Bone in the nose, blood sacrifice.

I don't get involved with that, man.

I mean, shoot me here if you like.

I'm not going in there.

Savages.

No.

She's mine.

The jump drive. The information you stole from Abbas. Where is it?

Where is it? CLAMOURING OUTSIDE

You do not get to kill her.

I do.

And then I will kill you.

Peter, what the hell are you doing?

-It's six in the morning.

-Get in.

Come on, spare the neighbours the sight of your legs.

What?

You heard about Yusuf Qasim?

Yeah, it's, er,

kind of hard not to.

He had first-hand knowledge about SOC's dealings with al-Qaeda.

I was trying to lock up his testimony, and then he did this.

I thought you made a deal with Baker.

It was a stall to protect my family.

Buy time to find Yusuf.

I don't want Baker's blood money. I want him in a prison cell.

Peter... take a hint from the universe.

-You're not going to win this.

-I have to.

Wake up. The Supreme Court has spoken.

Corporations are people, and they're all a-holes.

Baker's the one I know about,

and he's killed people I know about.

Danny Gentry, Odelle Ballard.

And I just found out...

the journalist Randall Walters.

What? I thought that was some kind of lovers' quarrel.

Walters was working on an expose on Black Sands.

This is the bear you want to keep poking?

With a wooden stake, right through the heart.

I need your help.

I don't think so.

Baker cancelled my deal. Got me fired.

I can't get into the building. I need access.

You just told me he had Randall Walters killed.

I'm not asking you to stick your neck out.

Just dig around a little.

Baker wanted me to deliver Sophia Tsaldari.

Suddenly, he doesn't care?

I need to know what he's up to.

-Did he make a deal with her?

-So? Why not just ask Tsaldari?

She's in Greece.

Busy winning an election. Not answering my calls.

Yeah, smart woman.

Maybe you should just park outside her house.

Peter, I'm back at work.

Things are finally getting back to normal.

Hey, if it wasn't for me, you'd still be in jail.

Yeah? If it wasn't for you,

I wouldn't have been in there in the first place.

You're a good man.

You know what they're doing is wrong.

You want to be on the right side of this.

I... I know you do.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

That's it.

Joe, Joe.

Ruby?

Coffee.

Coffee.

RINGING TONE

PHONE RINGS

-Hello.

-Bob.

Can you check out a phone number for me?

Whose number is it?

It's about Ruby.

I'm checking on her, like you said.

Ruby?

Really?

OK, what's... What's the number?

Where were you?

I went for a walk.

What's going on?

Where are they taking her?

Let me go.

Look.

What are they doing?

You bring death, Odelle Ballard.

You will suffer.

Your turn.

Who lives here?

Who the hell are you?

PHONE RINGS

Who's that?

What did you find out?

The number was unlisted.

I had to hack into a few cellphone company servers.

-But I finally found it.

-And?

-You're not going to believe this.

The number belongs to Michael Banks,

Chief Executive Officer of Osela Private Security.

'Osela, Harrison. The people that you said killed your father.'

Wait... Oh, my gosh. Are you with...

Are you with Ruby right now?

'Don't...don't say anything. Just... just cough once if she's with you.'

Thanks, Bob.

I got to go.

Ruby?

You couldn't just let it go.

You're Osela.

Everything you said...

..everything you told me about yourself...

Was the truth.

I just left out the part where I was recruited by Michael Banks.

-How could you?

-Michael cared about me when no-one else would.

So you'd kill for him?

And then what? Everything else -

meeting me in the park, sleeping with me,

that was your job?

It started out that way, but it became something more.

Right.

SHOUTING

You don't want to do this. It's a mistake.

Money?

You want money? Because I can pay you.

More money than you can ever imagine.

The United States government will pay you. Please, no.

I was ordered to kill you three days ago,

at the drone protest.

That was you?

I had you in my sights. I could've dropped you right there.

Why didn't you?

Because I couldn't.

I was trying to protect you.

I thought we could...

I don't know. So stupid.

How could you ever forgive me?

You killed my father.

Sorry.

You murdered my father, and then you sleep with me?

What kind of sick, twisted person does that?

I am sick. I'm twisted. And I fell in love with you.

What are you doing?

PHONE DIALS

-Um...

-'911, what's your emergency?'

Yes, there's a woman with a gun, and she's going to kill someone.

-'Can I get your address?'

-12323 Sandy Point Road.

Please hurry.

Don't move.

Please, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no. You do not want to do that.

If you kill this one, they will just send more.

Odelle Ballard kills an Osela,

and look, another one is here to kill Odelle Ballard.

But if you kill this one,

the next one will be coming to kill you, bro.

-Maybe they will never know.

-No, they will know, they will know.

Just wait, OK?

Your tracker.

-What?

-Where's your tracker?

In the lining of my shirt.

You see?

They are watching you right now.

If you kill this one, they will come,

they will find you, and they will kill you.

And all of them vicious pricks.

Right? Tell him.

Right.

Go.

I need to take her body with me.

That's not going to happen.

I need proof that she's dead. I can't leave without it.

How about her dog tags?

Fine.

We need to go. Now.

So what's the plan, Ruby?

Are you going to turn yourself in?

Then what?

Can you at least tell me why?

-Just...

-Why you killed him?

Why you killed my father?

-Stop investigating, asking questions.

-How could you?

-Was it Black Sands? Was it Odelle Ballard?

-Stop!

OK, fine. Fine.

When the police come to arrest you, you need to tell them about Osela.

You need to tell them the truth

and make this right.

I've killed too many people.

Just tell them what you know.

SIREN BLARES

Oh, no.

My future is jail or death. I'm not going to jail.

Police!

Exit the house with your hands in the air!

No, not like this.

Gun! Drop it!

-Gun!

-Gun! Gun! Hold your fire!

Halt! Halt!

Agh!

Gun!

You saved my life. I owe you one.

Go to hell.

Sarah, what are you doing here?

The kids needed a few things.

There was a police officer parked outside waiting for you.

What did they say?

Do you know this man?

No.

Well, he knows you.

He was arrested for aggravated assault somewhere in Florida.

He claims to have information about a murder,

and he says you're involved.

What did you say?

I told her I didn't know anything, because I don't.

So, why?

Peter, why would this man implicate you in a murder?

I'm as shocked as you are.

I'm not an idiot.

Don't you dare stand there and lie to me.

I know something's going on.

I'm your wife.

I deserve to know the truth.

Everything is going to be all right, I promise.

But you... you just... You have to trust me.

Well, that's the thing, Peter. I don't trust you any more.

You don't mean that.

Maya told me she saw you here the other night

with Sophia Tsaldari.

-Alone. Drinking wine.

-It's not what you think!

-In our home!

I was discussing strategy.

She's...she's my friend.

Oh, well,

I envy her.

Don't do this, OK, Sarah? Please.

Don't touch me.

I want a divorce.

-Get in.

-Leave me alone.

Something you need to see first. Get in.

Get in.

Why am I here?

I just want to go home.

You can thank me later.

Thank you? For what?

HE CHANTS

What is he doing?

Wait for it.

Odelle?

Gun full of blanks and some blood.

Fools them every time.

I took them from her dead body myself.

Thank you. That's all.

Now, to the world, you are dead.

Where you need to be for the good of all.

Do you understand?

For the good of all.

You didn't know, did you?

I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

I had no choice.

He could have ruined everything. He almost did.

You're an ass. You had no right to do that.

I saved your life.

OK, maybe I should have been more upfront about it,

but you never would have agreed.

Now you're dead, so you can live.

So all of us can.

We need to get going. We've got a plane to catch.
