Paris Has Fallen (2024) s02e02 Episode Script

1
Dr Moss. Welcome to Libya.
Previously on
- You know who I am?
- You're Yuri Mishkin,
head of the Voltov Group.
I think you have everything you need.
- Everything I need to do what?
- To modify the MERS virus.
To make it more contagious
and more deadly.
You fuck me
and then you ghost me.
Tell me there is
a helicopter on the way.
Just get us to the extraction point.
Vincent, glad you're here.
Vincent, move!
Vincent!
The pilot has become a problem.
Take care of him.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
- Come on, Gemma, please.
- Don't touch me.
Please don't touch me.
They said that
you died in that plane crash.
I know, I know. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I put you through that.
- I thought that you were dead.
- Look, we can have a new life.
Yeah? We don't have to worry
about money ever again.
- (CHATTER INSIDE)
- (KNOCKING)
MAN: Room service.
GEMMA: Jack?
(GASPING)
(WHIMPERING)
(PANTING)
The pilot's dead.
The girl got away.
We cannot let her
tell anyone what she knows.
Find her.
MI6 LONDON, NORTH AFRICA DESK
You're supposed to be
taking some time off.
Listen, I spoke to Hassan.
He went to the football ground.
Vincent's body wasn't there.
- Zara
- I don't know, I think he's alive.
Companies and governments
pay for the bodies
of their people to be returned.
A dead body is a valuable commodity.
Someone's taken it.
No. You don't know that.
What happened to Vincent
wasn't your fault.
He was there because of me.
He only came to Benghazi
because I asked him.
I know how close you were.
- He's gone.
- You don't know that!
- You need to speak to Andrew. Please.
- Zara
We need to send in a team to find him.
Please. Andrew will listen to you.
Please.
OK.
ANDREW: What did she say?
She wants you to send a team
to Benghazi to look for Vincent.
He's a deniable asset. We're not
mounting a search and rescue mission.
- He's dead.
- She can't accept that.
- You think she'd see a counsellor?
- This is Zara we're talking about.
She's in denial. I was the same
when they told me my mum was dead.
I was so desperate for her to be alive.
I didn't believe them
until they showed me her body.
I'm sorry.
(SIGHS) I've got a meeting.
I'll cook tonight. What would you like?
Surprise me.
What happened to no public displays
of affection at work?
I couldn't help myself.
Dr Moss, I have a patient for you.
Who is he?
He's a French national.
He could be of value to me. I need you
to tell me what is wrong with him.
I'm going to examine you.
(VINCENT GROANS SOFTLY)
(MOANS IN PAIN)
He's bleeding internally.
Is he going to die?
If he doesn't have surgery
to stop the bleeding, yes.
Then you'll have to operate on him.
All of the good doctors
have fled to Tripoli.
I'm not a surgeon.
But you were
before you specialised in virology.
I told you, I am familiar with your CV.
You get to choose
whether he lives or dies.
HASSAN: I checked the hospitals.
None of the doctors
have treated Vincent.
Yeah, what about the doctors
that don't work in hospitals?
I mean, could one of them
have treated him?
I'll ask around.
Thank you for everything
that you're doing.
Vincent is my friend, too.
I'll let you know if I have any news.
Thank you.
The pilot from K962 was shot
and killed in a hotel
in Malta this morning.
His partner, Gemma Rogers,
is at the British Consulate.
- She flies into Northolt later today.
- We know how he survived the crash?
Hopefully Gemma will give us
some answers. I want
you to go and meet Gemma at Northolt.
Take her to the safe house.
Debrief her.
OK.
Andrew.
She isn't ready.
I think we should send someone else.
She asked to be put back on duty.
That doesn't mean you have to
listen to her.
You think it's better that she wastes
her time searching for a dead man?
- Maybe this'll take her mind off it.
- I'll go with her.
I need you to finish your report
for the JIC.
Where are the Spanish at
with identifying
the bodies recovered from the plane?
They're running DNA tests.
We're awaiting the results.
FORENSIC MORGUE, VILLAVERDE MADRID
(PHONE BUZZES)
MAN: I switched the DNA samples.
Her body will be identified
later today.
- What's your name?
- Vincent.
- Vincent Taleb.
- I'm Rachel.
- You work for Voltov?
- No.
So, you're a prisoner here?
I'm going to perform a subcostal
incision with a surgical washout.
Have you ever done this before?
No. Watched a YouTube video.
(CHUCKLES)
So I guess we're good to go.
Are you ready?
Wait.
Make me a promise.
Of course. Anything.
If you screw this up and I die,
don't give yourself a hard time.
I'll try not to.
You can make me a promise.
If I don't screw this up and you live,
you'll help me escape.
I promise.
OK.
Count backwards from 10.
(IN FRENCH) Ten, nine, eight
It sounds better in French.
Seven,
six,
five,
four
I'm sorry about
what happened in Benghazi.
Me too.
Hi, Gemma. I'm Zara. This is Scott.
We work for the British Government.
- Where are you taking me?
- Somewhere you'll be safe.
What's gonna happen to me?
Am I in trouble?
No.
We just want to know
what happened to the plane.
I didn't know what Jack was gonna do.
I thought he was dead.
And then he
he called me and told me
to come to Malta, and
they shot him in front of me.
I'm sorry.
(CRYING)
- ZARA: Get down!
- (EXPLOSION)
Get out!
Get down!
Go!
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
- (GUNSHOT)
- (SCREAMING)
Stay down.
Go!
(GEMMA PANTING)
- (GUNSHOT)
- Stay down.
(GUN CLICKS)
- Fuck!
- (GUNSHOT)
(MAN SCREAMING, GROANING)
Come on.
Come on, come on.
Keys! Come on, come on! Come on.
Get in the car.
- Get down.
- (GUNSHOTS)
Are you OK? Were you hit?
(PANTING)
You said that you were
taking me somewhere safe.
- Someone leaked our route to Voltov.
- What do you mean?
Voltov have someone inside MI6.
We need to ditch this car.
- Whose car is this?
- I keep it for emergencies.
Get in.
I know you're scared.
You have to trust me.
Get in.
The team taking Gemma Rogers
to the safe house were ambushed.
- The security team are all dead.
- What about Zara and Gemma Rogers?
We don't know. We can't get
a signal on Zara's phone.
Pull all the CCTV from the area.
We need to find them.
On it.
KAREN: Someone from MI6
must have told Voltov the route
- they were taking from the airfield.
- We don't know that.
The leak could have come
from the Consulate in Valetta.
No one outside MI6
knew Gemma Rogers was on that plane.
- Why hasn't Zara called in?
- She doesn't know who she can trust.
- She's gone dark.
- You know her better than anyone.
Where would she go
if she wanted to disappear?
I don't know.
Make a list of anyone
she might go to for help.
Friends, family,
people she's worked with.
You should inform the Director
about the leak.
There needs to be an investigation.
I'll handle it.
Get me that list.
So how did Jack
survive the plane crash?
You have to tell me.
He parachuted from the plane.
Why?
They wanted him to abduct
one of the passengers.
Said they'd kill him
if he didn't do it.
Who was the passenger? Who was it?
It was just a woman. That's all I know.
Why do they want to kill me?
Because you know the truth.
You know what Jack did.
(VINCENT SNIFFLES) Mmm.
Hey.
(CLEARS THROAT)
- I can't feel my arms.
- It's just the anaesthetic.
It'll wear off.
How did it go?
Well, you're alive,
so I think it went pretty well.
Now you have to keep
your promise to me.
- You have to help me escape.
- (SOLDIER SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
When she's finished here,
take her back to the lab.
Yeah, okay.
It seems the operation was a success.
I need you to return to your work now.
(IN RUSSIAN) Dima!
- You look well.
- It's good to see you old friend.
Libya treats you well.
The plants are running 24 hours a day.
Our biggest problem is sourcing
supplies of acid stabilisers
for the vaccine.
Pay whatever it takes.
It is the best investment
we will ever make.
Only if the operation succeeds.
Moscow has learned the pilot's
girlfriend is still alive.
- How?
- You think you are the only one
with a source inside MI6?
They're worried they can be exposed.
It's being handled.
If they are exposed, the Kremlin will
move to protect itself.
They send my friend to threaten me?
I am just the messenger.
We have lived all our lives
under threat.
Don't you ever grow tired of it?
Sometimes.
I look at people, living their lives,
like sheep grazing in a field.
All you have to do is chew and shit.
But then the wolves come
and you're fucked.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Zara really doesn't have many friends.
Her therapist would say
she has intimacy issues.
You didn't put yourself on the list.
- You're her closest friend.
- Probably.
If Zara contacts you,
would you tell me?
Don't jeopardise your career for her.
It's going to be really awkward
if you have to sack your fiancée.
Please don't put me in that position.
ANDREW: Hannah!
My name is Andrew Leviston.
I work with Zara Taylor.
- You're her boss.
- Have you heard from Zara?
Not since we got back from Benghazi.
Has something happened?
Zara's missing.
We just want to make sure she's safe.
You think I'm hiding her
in my apartment?
Are you?
No.
But you're welcome
to come in and take a look.
HANNAH: Happy?
If Zara contacts you,
tell her she should come in.
She won't make it on her own.
She needs help.
You guys got any contract work?
I'm looking.
Help us find Zara
and there's as much work as you want.
There you go.
You are a greedy little prick.
- Have they gone?
- Yeah.
Your boss offered me a shit ton
of work if I tell him where you are.
- Yeah, did you?
- I was tempted.
You think he's working for Voltov?
I don't know.
I mean, someone in MI6 is.
I don't know who I can trust.
How's Gemma?
Terrified. She's trying
to get some sleep upstairs.
My neighbour's back on Tuesday,
so you need to be gone by then.
When we got back, I messaged you.
Yeah. I was going to reply.
I was a mess.
- We all lost people.
- Vincent's alive.
- You heard something?
- No.
- I'm not ready to just give up.
- Hey.
- You don't have to shut me out.
- I'm not. It's not you.
Yeah, but just because
you're like that with everyone,
doesn't make it any better.
If you would have gone back
for Vincent, you'd be dead too.
I couldn't let that happen.
You're thinking about your family.
RACHEL: Are you married?
I truly loved only one woman.
What happened to her?
She got killed.
Would she like the man you've become?
I think she'd understand why.
How's your progress?
The mutations have substantially
increased the viral load.
I've also managed to stabilise
the virus in aerosol form.
But you are still struggling
to modify the spike protein.
I read books too.
If you release this virus,
tens of thousands of people will die.
The people will turn
on their governments.
Your democracies
won't survive another pandemic.
Whoever controls the supply
of the MERS vaccine
will yield enormous power.
You've been manufacturing
the vaccine at scale?
The politicians will do
anything to survive.
Pay any price, money, land,
resources, whatever we demand.
But the vaccine for MERS
hasn't been clinically tested.
When people are dying, you think
they'll care about the trials?
This is all about money and power.
You talk about money and power
like they are dirty words.
My father was the same.
He was a bureaucrat.
All his life,
he loyally served the government.
One day, the world he knew
came crashing down.
He lost his job. We lost our home.
We lived in a single room
in my uncle's apartment.
I watched my father
wither before my eyes.
He became a ghost.
Less than two years later,
he had drunk himself to death.
I hated him for it.
I joined the KGB.
I would never be
a victim like my father.
You can dress it up all you want.
You have a choice.
I choose to be on the winning side.
I'm one of the few people
in the world who can modify MERS.
They will figure out that you
abducted me and forced me to do it.
I don't think so.
The world believes you're dead.
I need you to babysit Gemma
for an hour.
- Where are you going?
- To see a friend.
Hopefully we'll be out of here tonight.
- Where will you go?
- It's safer if you don't know.
It would've been safer for me if
you'd never come in the first place.
I didn't know where else to go.
That says a lot.
Go, go.
If anything happens while I'm gone,
take Gemma to a police station.
I've gotta go.
- Who were you talking to?
- Lisa.
We've started negotiations about
who gets the kids for Christmas.
It gets a bit tense.
Any news on Zara?
The car she used to escape
after the ambush
was found abandoned in Hammersmith.
We're checking CCTV.
Have you spoken to the Director?
If they think there's a leak,
they'll suspend everyone on the team.
Maybe they should.
What I said about you
risking your career for Zara,
I am sorry.
- I do trust you.
- Didn't sound like it.
- I was being a dick.
- Yes, you were.
I'm going to get some ramen.
Do you want some?
I'd love some.
Hi. Order for Karen.
(LINE RINGING)
TELLER: Hello. Ramen Monster.
How can I help?
Excuse me.
This is really weird. It's for you.
- Zara?
- You're so predictable.
You always get ramen
when you're working late.
- Are you OK? You hurt?
- No, I'm fine.
- Are you with Gemma?
- She's safe.
Someone told Voltov the route
you were taking from the airfield.
Yeah. Has Andrew gone to the Director?
He's stalling. He said
they'll suspend everyone.
He stopped me going with you
to the plane.
You think he was trying to protect you?
- You think he's working for Voltov?
- I don't know what to think.
We need to arrange
a safe house for Gemma.
I have to go outside the service.
I'll bring in a team
from Special Branch.
Eight o'clock.
The mews behind Bishop Street.
I'll be there.
You can't trust Andrew. Be careful.
Thanks. I'm starving.
I'm gonna talk to Zara's brother.
If she goes to anyone in her family,
it'll be him.
- Do you want me to come?
- No. It's a long shot.
I can handle it.
(SIGHS SOFTLY)
You should start to feel better
fairly quickly.
(SCOFFS)
Why are they keeping you here?
Have you heard of the MERS virus?
Similar to Covid.
They want me to make it more deadly.
More contagious.
They're gonna release it?
(TEARFULLY) They're gonna
kill my family if I don't do it.
I'm sorry.
Do you have children?
- No.
- They change you.
They become your whole world.
I'll never see mine again.
When I finish my work, they'll kill me.
VINCENT: I made you a promise.
I'll get you out of here. OK?
OK.
I need you to make me
a map of the building.
OK.
Get in the front.
Are you going to be OK?
I'll be fine.
Thanks for babysitting.
Anytime.
What are you doing?
I figured you wanted me to come,
but you were never going to ask me.
Are you two in a relationship?
BOTH: No.
ZARA: You need to debrief her.
I'll do it as soon as we get to
the safe house.
And what do we do about Andrew?
I know it's hard for you.
You need to report him.
Karen.
- I'll handle it. Yes.
- Will you?
(DOUBLE TAP GUNSHOT)
Don't.
- Why are you doing this?
- They took everything from me.
What do you mean?
You think the people we work for
are the good guys?
There are no good guys.
Karen.
Karen, don't!
- I'm sorry.
- (CAR ENGINE STARTS)
- (PANTING)
- You're bleeding.
It's just a graze.
Who was that?
Zara!
I thought she was my friend.
