Hijack (2023) s02e04 Episode Script

1
Tell Nelson exactly
what I told you to say.
Sam.
We have the power back on for you.
And the points are changed, so
you will join the cleared U7 line.
All right, good. Now do as I asked.
Bring John Bailey-Brown to me.
If you put
John Bailey-Brown onto that train,
he is not coming off again.
That's state-sanctioned murder.
I'm not saying we put him on the train.
I'm saying we start the process.
Gain some time.
Tell him.
Okay, Sam.
They need time to find
the right station and to make it safe,
but you will get John Bailey-Brown.
Clara. No tricks.
You gambled last time
and now we have a dead man. Yes?
No tricks.
Passengers.
I need you to listen to me carefully.
This train is under my control
and it is rigged with explosives.
I am speaking to the authorities
and they are agreeing to my demands.
So keep quiet, stay out of my way
and don't try to get off this train.
If you do as you are told,
you will stay alive,
but if you do not comply,
then you will all die.
Why is he dead now?
It was a message.
That we're being watched.
I never agreed to be a hijacker.
All I agreed to do was drive this train.
I'm not a murderer.
We didn't kill Freddie,
but if we can find out who did
then we've got the edge.
Faber.
I've instructed
the German intelligence services
to release John Bailey-Brown
to me, immediately.
I think you read this wrong, Mr. Faber.
Giving Sam Nelson what he wants
is not the answer. I promise you.
I work for the people of Berlin.
My duty is to them.
- Their safety takes priority now.
- Wait.
Ada, please.
Something else is going on here.
- You have to believe me.
- Peter, enough.
A man is dead
and Nelson is taking responsibility.
What more do you need?
The BFV have agreed
to hand over John Bailey-Brown
as long as it's done discreetly.
Have him collected immediately
from the safe house.
Good. And what do we tell him?
You tell him nothing. Just get him moving.
But Sam will want to know
where it's going to happen.
Yes.
Mr. Diehl, identify somewhere suitable
for the handover.
Somewhere discreet.
It's me. Change of plan.
I need a flight today.
Wheels up in an hour.
I don't care. Just figure it out.
The top one
is the driver cab camera.
All right, someone on this train
has to have a laptop.
Wait, wait. Forget about it.
I-It's not working.
You need to find out some other way.
I can't just go out there
and ask who killed Freddie.
The point is it's meant
to look like it was me.
This This is how we find out
who's controlling us.
Yes, but those drives are
- What?
- Uh, encrypted.
They can't be accessed by just anybody.
We need to find a way to get the USB
to the control center.
Wait, wait, wait.
If you're going out there,
you're going to need a good story.
Yo.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Doesn't look fine.
It's nothing, just a scratch.
Wait there.
- Honestly, leave it, please.
- It's all good.
Hey, did I hear
someone say you were a doctor?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah?
- I said I'm fine, honestly.
- She's a doctor.
Not quite, but what happened?
I, uh, cut myself, on the door there.
What were you doing
going through the door?
I was just trying to get away
from the chaos in the blackout.
Passengers.
Please do as the man says.
You've all seen what he is capable of.
There is no need
for anyone else to get hurt.
Enough screen time.
All right.
Come on.
Everyone, phones, out the window, now!
Vanessa, Eli, break our phones.
Come on.
Everyone else, phones. Come on, quick.
Thank you.
New phone?
Come on, you heard what he said.
Kids, please.
Let's go.
What's this?
Do exactly as I say
or more people will get hurt.
Do you understand?
I said do you understand?
Phones.
Let's go. Out the window. Now.
All of 'em.
Yeah, I told her you sent me,
but she didn't wanna hear it.
Came at me with an ax.
You never told me about that.
Shit.
If I'd have known
it'd be this much aggro,
I would've told you to piss off.
Only got this car last week.
It's about five grand's worth
of damage here.
I'll sort that out.
Listen, there's something
I've got to look into.
Nick, just go and check she's okay,
please.
- Yeah, okay. No problem.
- Thanks, Nick.
Not sure she needs me
looking after her though.
Phones! Out the window.
Phones. Now.
Hey! Do not answer that phone.
Please. It's my wife. She thought
I would be out of here two hours ago.
My son, he's asthmatic.
He's only four months old.
- This'll be over soon.
- Please, no.
Hey, hey.
You said you were talking
to the authorities
and that they were listening to you?
I'm sure you don't want to release
any hostages, but please.
There has to be a way
we can get him off the train?
What's his name?
Benji.
Benji Dönitz.
Benji.
No promises.
Hey, this is Timo.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Hey.
What is she doing?
I know you didn't kill him.
Sam. Let me help you.
Mei, can I be honest?
I do remember you.
And the thing that I remember about you
is that you need to learn when to quit.
If you wanna help me, I need you to go
back to your seat and shut the fuck up.
I told you before. I don't need your help.
Dan's just worried about you, that's all.
- I can take care of myself.
- Clearly.
You're lucky I'm not on the force anymore,
or I'd have to do you
for "going equipped."
You served with him in Manchester?
Yeah. It was a while back.
Took early retirement.
Wife and I run a B&B down in Inverness.
Told Dan it was no problem
for a bit of a drive.
Side hustle is it,
spying on people's girlfriends?
He told me about your son.
- About the anniversary and everything
- You don't get to talk to me about that.
Fair enough.
It's not the first time
I've had unwanted attention.
Since Kai.
Sam, my ex-husband,
has been knocking on a lot of doors.
Pissing off the wrong sorts of people?
Well. That explains the ax.
Look, no-no offense, but I'm not really
in the mood for company right now.
Hey, did he hurt you?
Oh, no. This is from before.
I'm okay, honestly.
Okay.
Actually, would you mind taking a look?
Yes. Come here.
That's Freddie's bike, right?
Yeah.
Said I'd keep an eye on it.
Listen.
During the power cut,
when everything was kicking off,
- you were sat here?
- Yeah.
You didn't happen to see
who went past you, through the door?
No, sorry. It was just so chaotic.
Why?
What if
someone else is involved?
My take is that he's on his own.
It's just like a desperate guy
in a desperate situation.
Hey, look It's a little bruised,
but I reckon you got off lightly.
Thanks.
Okay.
VIRAL VIDEO OF AN UNCONFIRMED
'BERLIN U-BAHN INCIDENT'
Clara, are you there?
Where is he?
Sam, we're listening. What is it?
Clara, there is a baby on board.
It is sick.
I wanna get it back to its mother.
Yes, Sam. This is something
we can certainly look into.
His name is Benji. Benji Dönitz.
If you confirm a time and place for
the handover of John Bailey-Brown,
then we can agree to give this baby
the help it needs.
We will do that, Sam.
Good. Because if you can't
Well, it's on you.
He was on his way to meet me.
He had the Hamburg border evidence.
I just I don't I don't understand
why he didn't just come to the Embassy
and do this the right way.
It was all set up for him.
He clearly had a change of heart.
- Did you speak to his ex-wife?
- I've been trying her all morning.
Try again.
I think we need all the background
we can get on why he's doing this.
Bergmannstrasse.
That's the location.
Bergmannstrasse?
What station is that?
Bergmannstrasse is a ghost station.
An abandoned stop on the U6.
No cameras. No passengers.
No witnesses.
This is where to bring John Bailey-Brown
if you really are planning
to hand him over.
Let's just get him there first.
And these are all the feeds from
the U5 platforms between 9:00 and 9:45?
Yes.
You know, I always thought
I'd make a good detective.
I watch that show
where the guy always goes
"License
and registration, please."
Right?
Basically this cop shit is easy, right?
Come with me.
Where to?
To the U-Bahn.
Sam.
We have somewhere
to hand over John Bailey-Brown.
Go on.
Bergmannstrasse.
Bergmannstrasse?
Haven't heard that for a while.
I mean, it's technically possible,
but it's on the U6.
You will have to route us, Winter.
I will, Sam. But first, we will need to
get that baby off the train.
Of course. That was the deal.
Good. We're tracing next of kin.
We'll be in touch.
The prisoner is on the move.
Copy that.
Bundespolizei are arriving shortly.
Bit of fresh air, John.
Don't get used to it.
Murnau is pulling in now
Okay, John.
You're coming with me.
What's he doing here?
Get the prisoner in the car!
Then head directly to Bergmannstrasse.
Move!
No!
No, we can't let him go again.
Your credentials have been revoked.
My credentials?
Stand down, or I'll have you arrested.
Run the prick over.
They're taking him to the train.
Forget the train.
I've got a jet on the ground at Gatow
with the Home Office on board.
Look, I don't like it any more than you,
but don't do this here in the street.
We can still do this our way,
but now's not the time.
Let me take care of it.
Hi. You're through
to Marsha Smith-Nelson.
I'm sorry I'm not available
at the moment, but if you'd like to
Sam's ex-wife is unreachable.
Let's leave that for now.
It seems the switchboard here
has been taking calls all morning
from a British citizen
concerned about her family.
Her name's Leah Dönitz.
The mother of the sick baby.
Yes.
Tell me what you need.
You're the doctor, right?
Kind of.
Come with me.
This woman is a medic, okay?
So tell her what's happening
with your baby.
- Hi.
- He's just
He's got really bad asthma.
I-I don't know what else to tell you.
I can't get him to settle.
Okay, um, can we turn him around?
Okay, he's stressed. He's stressed.
Uh, my guess is that he needs
a nebulizer at the very least.
I didn't bring that. I-I thought
I would be on here for 20 minutes.
- Yeah, I understand.
- We all did.
Uh, let me check his fingers.
- Uh
- No, you stay here. Stay with him.
Okay, but there's not much I can do.
Okay.
I'm pretty fast as well.
I know it doesn't look like it,
but I can run pretty good.
- Sorry, what's your name again?
- Leon.
Leon. Can you please
- Yes, sorry.
- Thank you.
But being fast is important, right?
This is not a joke.
Okay?
I'm sorry, but I'm trying to concentrate.
Thank you.
Hey. Hey!
Didn't even bring me a coffee, huh?
Thanks for coming, Zahra.
Yeah, well, most people
just drunk-dial their exes.
You hold out
for another terrorist incident.
So it's true then?
Yeah, that's why I didn't wanna
discuss it on the phone.
Uh, it's okay. I-I get it.
I don't have the right clearance
and, well, this is
a counterterrorism issue.
But just, just clear one thing up for me.
A mate in Border Force said
Sam Nelson flew into Berlin yesterday.
He's not involved, is he?
- Danny-boy.
- Go and get her. Now.
Well, I've tried that before.
She's not gonna come quietly, is she?
Things have changed, Nick.
She might be in danger.
We need to get her somewhere safe.
Yeah, you've said enough, mate.
I'll take care of it.
You frightened her, mate.
Not nice, hanging round
scaring women like that.
Not nice.
Not nice at all.
It's not looking good for him.
He delivered one dead body already
and he's threatening hundreds more.
But why? What-What's he saying?
- What's he asking for?
- I've already told you too much, Dan.
I can't afford to get fired.
I mean, we're about to do the loft.
Zahra, come on.
You're not gonna like it.
He's asking for someone.
John Bailey-Brown.
Irony is MI5 were just about to
extradite him to the UK.
Jesus Christ.
When were you gonna tell me this?
Oh, for one thing, it's highly classified.
And I was only briefed on it this morning.
You know that Sam thinks
Bailey-Brown is responsible
for what happened to Kai, don't you?
Did that come up in the briefing?
Fucking hell.
Daniel.
Look, I know you don't wanna
believe it's Sam, okay? No one does.
But on the anniversary of Kai's death
I mean, you have to admit
the case for the defense
isn't fantastically strong.
No. No. I don't buy it.
The moment you hear the name Bailey-Brown,
there is only one reasonable
assumption to make.
The Cheapside Firm?
We need to see him.
How are you holding up?
I know what you're doing.
Many years ago,
I was trained to see things.
If you know what this city has
been through, you know what I mean.
You are right.
In the power cut,
I went to find the driver.
But when I got to the first carriage,
one other person was already there.
This man, he was kneeling
by the middle doors,
and it looked like he was trying to
get rid of something.
If you want to stay safe,
keep your head down.
Sam?
We have been able to locate
the baby's mother
and she has agreed to come and meet you.
Okay, I'll allow him off the train.
But here's how this is gonna work.
There is a maintenance point between
Zoologischer Garten and Hansaplatz.
Yes. We know the one.
I don't want anyone else
on or off this train. Understood?
Understood.
No funny business. No, no ambush.
No policewoman
disguised as the mother. Okay?
In fact, I want a picture
of the mother so I can confirm it's her.
Yes, Sam. We will arrange that.
Clara.
If there's anyone at that meeting point
other than the mum,
then just remember there isn't
only one life at risk here. Okay?
You sure this is going to work?
No. No, I'm not sure at all.
Can I have my bag, please?
Now.
Give me my bag. Give it to me!
Give me my bag!
Give me my bag!
- Shit!
- Hey!
The fuck is going on?
- What is this?
- It's nothing!
It's It's my bag.
That's all. It's just my bag.
I hid it, because I thought
the police were about to raid the train.
Go back to your seat now. Right now!
- What the fuck
- It doesn't make any sense.
No one else passed me
on my way up the carriage.
- What are you trying to prove?
- That it wasn't you!
But I guess this is what you get
for trying to help.
Go back to your seat.
Come on. Go.
When he was killed, we were stopped.
Like, the power was off,
the rail wasn't live?
Uh, yes, we were out on the tracks.
So if nobody else walked passed Mei,
then whoever did it
must've snuck
back on the train behind her.
That's why she didn't see them.
Okay, Sam.
The baby's mother
is heading to the meeting point now.
Hi, Leah. It's Olivia.
We spoke on the phone.
I'm sorry, I need to take a photo,
so Timo can confirm it's you.
For the hijacker?
The hijacker's demanded
that you meet him alone.
But we'll be right here, okay?
Why is he doing this?
You must know, right?
He must have said something.
Uh
He lost his son. And he wants answers.
Can we?
Okay.
Thanks.
Move.
Move.
Can you let us go?
Hey.
Who is this?
Okay. Let's go.
Not you.
Just the baby.
What? No, I have to go with him.
You can't get off this train.
Just the baby.
No. I won't let you touch him.
Not me.
Her.
She'll be waiting.
I know it's hard. I know it's hard.
It's gonna be fine. Okay?
He's gonna be good.
Don't worry.
Move. Move.
Attention.
The hijacker has agreed
to let a sick baby off the train.
No one else can leave.
If you try to do this,
all of you will be in danger.
Well, he's stopped crying at least.
That's not a good sign.
We're nearly there.
Your mama's here.
Okay, let's go.
Oh, um, you go down. I'll take him.
Oh, okay.
- I can take him.
- Yeah.
You're okay. You're all right.
Pass the bottle.
Go on.
Okay. It's okay.
He's gonna be fine.
It's okay. It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
You don't look how I thought you would.
I thought I don't know what I thought.
But now I see you, you just look tired.
Please, let Timo go.
Let all of them go.
I can't.
Why not?
Because I have to finish this.
You'll need this.
Thanks for your help.
That was a good thing you did there.
It surprised me.
Thanks.
It was her?
Yeah. And now we know
who we're up against.
