00:05and your mother said that in front of everyone embarrassing did she know the others were there
00:11of course she did she does it every time oh well that's mother's for you
00:31okay this shouldn't take long
00:44what the hell
01:05so
01:54What the hell?
02:13Hydrogen cyanide, three times heavier than air, disseminated as liquid or vapour.
02:20Ten seconds of concentration sufficient to cause death.
02:24Who would do something like that?
02:26And how'd they get the stuff in there, in the Pentagon?
02:29It has to be one of the most secure buildings on the planet.
02:32Who was?
02:32Well, their news management is still very efficient.
02:35They're calling it a mystery disease.
02:39Anyway, it's not our responsibility, thank God.
02:42This, however, is, this is our new assignment.
02:44We have been asked to consider the security implications of decommissioning the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
02:50Sir, all our systems are down.
02:55What?
02:57Everything just shut off all at once.
02:59That's not possible.
03:01And it's not a power failure.
03:03The whole system's been overridden.
03:05Well, try the emergency codes.
03:08They're out too.
03:08Nothing works.
03:15Good morning, CI5.
03:17And a special good morning to you, Harry Malone.
03:21What the hell's going on?
03:23I hope it's not foggy or raining in London.
03:25The weather here is absolutely wonderful.
03:28Who the hell's here?
03:29I do wish I could see your face, Harry.
03:32I really do.
03:33There you are, safe in your bunker, when suddenly your worst nightmare becomes a reality.
03:40Trace this transmission.
03:41For those innocent acolytes around you, I'd better introduce myself.
03:46I'm Jason Dane.
03:48The man to whom you all owe your livelihood.
03:51Oh, don't worry.
03:51You won't have heard of me because I'm a pariah.
03:53I'm unclean.
03:54I'm the one they don't talk about.
03:56When this is all over, you might ask Mr. Malone why he is head of CI5 and...
04:05Not me.
04:07Meanwhile, yesterday in Washington DC, two innocent young officers lost their lives.
04:15If it can happen in the Pentagon, it can happen anywhere.
04:20Even you can work that out, Harry, but what you can't work out is where it will happen next.
04:25So, I'm going to help you.
04:28How about the entire city of Tokyo?
04:31Tokyo.
04:32A vast metropolis of 12 million people.
04:36And I have the capacity to kill millions.
04:41Now watch carefully.
04:42I know you're recording this, so I'm going to show you this list.
04:46For only three seconds.
04:48Are you ready?
04:52What is it?
04:54It could be banking cards.
04:5530 bank accounts all over the world.
04:59Preset by computer to transfer the money to 60 other accounts in a nanosecond.
05:04And then on to another 100 accounts.
05:06And then on and on.
05:08Until the money has gone.
05:11Disappeared in less than a minute.
05:13Oh, yes.
05:14It can be done.
05:16You ask any currency dealer.
05:18And what's the price?
05:21One billion dollars placed into those accounts within 48 hours.
05:28Or I release 100 tons of hydrogen cyanide over Tokyo.
05:34Yes, that's right.
05:37100 tons of nerve gas.
05:42Just like the Pentagon.
05:45Hmm.
05:47Sayonara.
05:52Mr Spencer.
05:54Analyse those numbers.
05:55Get me a list of the banks.
05:57Miss Bacchus.
05:57Get the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the video link.
06:00You two.
06:01Come with me.
06:12It was a perfect transmission.
06:15Of course it was.
06:19Get some rest, gentlemen.
06:23Count the money in your dreams.
06:44IQ of 180 and as dangerous as Attila the Hun.
06:49Yeah, but who is he, sir?
06:51Jason Dane.
06:53Quite a file.
06:55Ten years ago, Mr Dane was the brightest operative in the Secret Service.
07:00He was a spook?
07:01I was once a spook, Mr Keel.
07:03That is when I was unfortunate enough to meet him.
07:07Very unpleasant experience.
07:09He said we owe him our livelihoods.
07:12Yes, in a sense he was right.
07:13He rescued us.
07:16Rescued us?
07:17How?
07:19Man was a great thinker, Mr Keel.
07:22He wrote a brilliant thesis on world security.
07:25Brilliant.
07:27Without it, CI5 would have closed down years ago.
07:29I suppose you could say he put us on the international map.
07:32By writing a report?
07:34And by constantly lobbying every important politician in Washington, Paris, Bond.
07:39Became an obsession with him.
07:43Anyway, in the end his view prevailed.
07:45But if he was one of us, what went wrong?
07:50Long story, Mr Curtis.
07:54General Robertson V4, sir.
07:55Ah, thank you.
07:56There's something you should know.
07:58Our system was crashed by an override code.
08:00Which override code?
08:03Yours, sir.
08:05Mine?
08:07Do you mean this man's got my code?
08:11Track him down. Find him wherever the hell he is.
08:13Start off with his last known address.
08:15Yes.
08:17George.
08:19My dear chap.
08:20Sorry to have got you out of a committee.
08:22We actually have a bit of a crisis on our hands.
08:29Radars in position, boss.
08:34Did you know that some jellyfish are eight feet across?
08:41No, sir.
08:44They look so serious, Mr Shaw.
08:48Well, come on.
09:08Spooks did pretty well for themselves back in the day.
09:12Hey, there was a need for those guys.
09:14Cold War, remember?
09:16Barely.
09:43Oh!
09:47Are you Peter Streep Griebling?
09:50Are you here alone?
09:53So it was you playing that nocturne just now.
09:56Clear.
10:00Oh, my goodness.
10:01Sorry, sir, but you were armed.
10:03My name's Curtis, CI5.
10:05This is my partner, Chris Keel.
10:07According to the land register, you lived here for eight months.
10:09You bought the flat from a man named Jason Dane.
10:12How dare you leave a forwarding address, a telephone number, anything at all?
10:16How dare you?
10:17This is not a police state.
10:24Attention, everybody.
10:25The Japanese government are declaring a national emergency at 9 o'clock Tokyo time.
10:32So extra vigilance on your screens, if you please.
10:36They're discussing evacuation already.
10:41Searching every sewer and subway in the city.
10:45Sir, I've been talking to the chemical companies.
10:48Could all this be a bluff?
10:49No, no, no.
10:50And look what happened at the Pentagon.
10:52Yeah, but he would need a huge amount of gas, way beyond the industry's capacity.
10:56You asked me to check on any connection with Japan.
10:59Well?
11:00They've never made the stuff in any quantity.
11:02But there was a World War II project called Samurai Wind.
11:06Apparently, the Allies were going to use gas against Japan to shorten the war.
11:11They used the atom bomb instead.
11:13Yes, sir.
11:15According to the Defense Department, they were going to release it in the Pacific
11:18and let the trade winds drift into Tokyo.
11:28You never throw any of Mr. Dane's stuff away?
11:31Other people's mail, Mr. Curtis, is sacrosanct.
11:34It's for them to open.
11:35For them to read.
11:37Even the junk mail.
11:38Apparently, that's a concept that hasn't occurred to you.
11:41He can barely read.
11:42Maybe not.
11:43But I can count.
11:46And that makes three.
11:48Three what?
11:50Three airline schedules, all to the South Pacific area.
11:52All addressed to Dane and none of them unsolicited.
11:54For example, dear Mr. Dane, further to your recent inquiry, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
11:59You were right, sir.
12:01It was Nominee Patry.
12:02They had a secret base there.
12:05What's Nominee Patry?
12:06An island in the South Pacific.
12:08Uninhabitable.
12:11January 1945.
12:12Decision taken to stockpile hydrogen cyanide on Nominee Patry.
12:18February.
12:19Secure facility complete.
12:22March.
12:23First stocks arrive aboard USS Marissa.
12:30Good God.
12:31What is it?
12:32They never cleared it.
12:34At the end of the war, they secured the gas in canisters and they buried it.
12:39Underground bunkers.
12:41One hundred tons of hydrogen cyanide.
12:45And it's still there.
12:47On the island.
12:52These are the trade winds.
12:56And there is Nominee Patry.
13:01Directly in line with the Samurai wind.
13:04The allies were going to dump all that gas into the air?
13:08That's horrific.
13:09It was a long, hard war, Mr. Curtis.
13:12I think I prefer the atom bomb.
13:14Yes, so did the allies.
13:16Believe it or not, it killed far fewer people.
13:20So what now?
13:22Well, if the Japanese decide to pay,
13:26well, well and good.
13:27I don't think they will.
13:28And if Dane has control of that gas on that island,
13:31then that island has to be secured at all costs.
13:34Well, if we're talking landing craft,
13:37U.S. Marines,
13:39American Navy has a base right here.
13:41Manico Harbor.
13:42No, no, no.
13:43He will have thought of that.
13:43He'll be waiting for it.
13:46It's all too easy, isn't it?
13:48Easy?
13:49Yes.
13:50I mean, we found that island in a few hours.
13:52If he'd left some false trails,
13:55he could have held us up indefinitely,
13:57but he didn't, did he?
13:59Now, why do you think that happened, hmm?
14:01What does that tell you?
14:03Probably got something else up his sleeve.
14:05Precisely.
14:06Which is why we must take him by surprise.
14:10We, sir?
14:11Oh, yes, yes.
14:12This job's been handed over to us.
14:15Initially, anyway.
14:16Jolly flattering, that really, isn't it?
14:20Prepare yourselves for a halo drop.
14:21I want you to on that island before dawn tomorrow.
14:34Sunray Five, over.
14:37Go ahead, Sunray.
14:39The matter in question has now been dealt with.
14:42You are in the clear.
14:46Why do Sunray have?
14:48Keep tracking.
14:50Sir.
14:55Now, that's what I call clout.
14:57Malone diverting a civilian airliner and putting us in its place.
15:01Yeah, so if Dane's got radar down there,
15:03he'll think where that commercial flight.
15:07Sam, we'll make a special ops man out of you yet.
15:22Mr. Dane, I think we've got some.
15:30Right on time.
15:32Just like the airliner they're replacing.
15:36What if this is just the first wave?
15:39What if they lend in force?
15:43Another month in training, Mr. Kessler.
15:45And you'd know the answer to that.
15:47Mr. Shaw, how much of the North Beach can you see?
15:50All of it.
15:55Well, allowing for wind drift, they should be landing halfway between
16:01Welcome Six and Welcome Seven.
16:06You want to come up and greet them?
16:08I wouldn't miss it for a million dollars.
16:11Stand by, jumpmaster.
16:15This is it!
16:17You love this, don't you?
16:19Follow the leader!
16:20Yeah, we'll just make sure we land on the dark side of the island.
16:23That's the north side.
16:24The side without the moonlight.
16:26I hate being a sitting duck.
16:40Let's go!
16:44Woohoo!
16:59Here they come.
17:01Completely by the book.
17:03It's always been Malone's weakness.
17:08Predictability.
17:14Lambs to the slaughter.
17:17And it's not even their fault.
17:19Sir?
17:20Underestimating the enemy.
17:30Stand by, Mr. Shaw.
17:40Stand by, Mr. Shaw.
17:42You alright?
17:47Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
18:08They should have gone by sea, underwater, from South Shore.
18:22Time to say hello, Mr. Shaw.
18:26Welcome Seven?
18:27No, Six.
18:30It's closer.
18:40Welcome to Normandy Patry, Mr. Curtis.
18:44You too, Mr. Keel.
18:46Oh, yes.
18:48We know your names.
18:50We've been hacking your communication system for some hours.
18:54I even know what school you went to, Mr. Curtis.
18:58We listened to your conversation with the pilot.
19:00I do apologize.
19:02Now understand this.
19:04The only reason you're not dead
19:06is because you're more useful to me alive.
19:13We'll talk again in the morning, gentlemen.
19:17Good night.
19:18Good night.
19:40Your satellite link won't work.
19:42Lesson three.
19:47They got our frequency.
19:49They're jamming us.
19:52Fancy some supper, Mr. Shaw.
20:08Still nothing.
20:18Pilot confirms they jumped at 22.40.
20:22Yes!
20:30Something's gone wrong, sir.
20:31Yes, yes.
20:35Possibly walked into a trap.
20:39Possibly.
20:44All right, get me the Pentagon, Naval Intelligence.
20:46We're calling in the U.S. Navy.
20:48No, we're calling in a favor.
20:51Miss Bacchus, get your combat kit together.
20:55We are going to the Pacific.
21:07You're losing blood.
21:08Yeah.
21:11Hey, look down there.
21:13Getaway boats.
21:14Or what they came in.
21:15Yeah, old boats.
21:17We got to keep going.
21:19The further we travel, the harder we'll be to find.
21:21Keep moving.
21:23Knock, knock, knock.
21:30Sir, do you think he'll do it?
21:32I mean, really do it.
21:33During the Cold War, a very clever agent wrote a paper on preemptive nuclear strikes.
21:40You know, get them before they get us sort of thing.
21:43If he'd had his way, Moscow would have been obliterated, radioactive dust.
21:49That was Jason Dane.
21:57Oh, my God.
22:20Oh, my God.
23:02Hang in there.
23:05Cavalry will be here soon.
23:07What, you promise?
23:09You know, Malone.
23:10Come on, Malone will be thinking about the population of Tokyo.
23:13Somewhere out there on the Samurai wind.
23:15We're just a blip.
23:17That's the pain talking.
23:18Oh, come on, Chris.
23:19Get real.
23:20We're paid to do a job.
23:22If we happen to get blown up along the way, we'll be lucky to get a memorial service.
23:26At least I'd be there.
23:29Yeah, me too.
23:30Now, how fast can you move with that arm?
23:33Still faster than you.
23:34So let's go get us some potassium, sodium...
23:37Hydrogen cyanide.
23:39You know, I had a schoolteacher like you once.
23:41Only she was pretty.
23:45Hotel Lima, Hotel Lima, this is Bravo 195.
23:50Say again, your message over.
23:53Boss.
23:53Yes?
23:55They're moving.
23:56Coming across the island.
23:58Heading your way.
24:01Bring them in.
24:02We could pick them off from here, easy.
24:04No.
24:05I want them alive.
24:08I want them in one piece.
24:12They're going to die anyway.
24:15Why waste time?
24:16Kessler.
24:17You've never done any fishing.
24:20I want them alive.
24:25Fish.
24:26He means Malone.
24:27I know what he means.
24:29And he's crazy.
24:31He wants mano a mano with the head of the CI5 right here on this island.
24:36What's with this guy?
24:37Hey.
24:38Just keep track.
24:51Oh, these guys are good.
24:54Yeah?
24:54We are better.
25:33Okay.
25:35The island's two and a half miles long, north to south.
25:38If we keep heading west, eventually we end up behind where we landed.
25:42You're bound to be there somewhere.
25:44Gotta be.
25:45Then what?
25:47We take him out.
25:52Yeah, what if there's 50 of them?
25:55That's 25 apiece.
26:01This is Manico Base.
26:03Confirm priority code one, over.
26:06Code Charlie, India 5, ETA, 1430 hours, over.
26:11Harry, this is John Preston.
26:13We're all ready for you here, over.
26:15Thanks, John.
26:16And give my regards to Admiral Wesley.
26:18You're getting careless, Harry.
26:20Harry, remember what you taught me.
26:22Always use the scrambler.
26:27Who trains these guys?
26:30A fish?
26:39I've got two of your Boy Scouts here.
26:41Do you want to do a deal?
26:43What do you want, Dane?
26:44You, Harry.
26:47Just you.
26:49On the south beach.
26:511830 hours.
26:53Alone.
26:55Or they die.
26:57Have you got that?
26:59Have a nice day.
27:04Got him.
27:12John.
27:13If he's got radar, and I'm sure he has,
27:17he'll see you coming.
27:19Anyway, Washington have already agreed to try my way first.
27:22You're playing a dangerous game, Harry.
27:24That stuff goes up, and we have done nothing about it.
27:27Could bring down the government, yours as well as ours.
27:29And kill thousands of innocent human beings.
27:33I do know that.
27:34Yeah, well, at least we know the island is uninhabited.
27:37My boys are ready to blow it to hell.
27:40And what if he presses the button first?
27:44The deadline is in six hours.
27:46I need two.
27:47After that, John, he is all yours.
27:50Harry, what about the money?
27:52A billion dollars could be cheap at the price.
27:55No, it opens the floodgates to any genocidal maniac who thinks he has the means to commit mass murder.
28:03Tomorrow, New York.
28:05Next week, Paris.
28:07Yeah, I take your point, Harry.
28:09Well, good luck.
28:10Remember, we're only a heartbeat away.
28:12One thing I need.
28:13I didn't get the chance before I left London.
28:15Yeah, what's that?
28:15I need a map, normally power train 1945, particularly the military installation.
28:20Not here.
28:21Washington may have one.
28:22Can you get it to me before I leave?
28:24Get under it right away.
28:27Thank you, John, very much for your help.
28:36You okay?
28:37Yeah.
28:38Hey, why didn't we do this the easy way and just tunnel through the rock with our bare hands?
28:42We're behind them now.
28:43Well, my guess is, we'll just be on that ridge.
28:48Yeah?
28:49Well, then why don't I wait here and let you bring the ridge to me?
29:00Dane said keep them alive.
29:02To hell with Dane.
29:03It's me I want to keep alive.
29:27Don't even think about it.
29:35Kiel, stand still.
29:37One move and your friend dies.
29:40It's your choice.
29:46Well done, Mr. Shaw.
29:49Bring them in.
29:56Now, stop panicking.
29:57We've got four hours left.
29:59Now, what's the problem?
30:01I've been talking to this banker and he said there are ways of blocking.
30:06I told you to talk to no one.
30:08He's just a currency dealer.
30:10I told him nothing.
30:11Get this clear.
30:13There's no way that one cent of that money can ever be traced.
30:16Now, get off this phone.
30:18It's supposed to be used for one call only.
30:23Idiot.
30:34Rebecca, put me on secure.
30:37Go.
30:38HQ to Sunray.
30:40Come in, Sunray.
30:43Sir, I've been monitoring that civil servant.
30:46The one with the crazy name.
30:48He's just made a call.
30:50I think it was the target.
30:52And?
30:53You were right, sir.
30:55He's the banking link.
30:56Good work.
30:58Now, now this is what we do.
31:04Right, sir.
31:06Got it.
31:07With backers, we're almost there.
31:34Come on.
31:35Come on.
31:42The game's afoot.
31:55What's going on, I wonder?
31:58What are you doing?
32:00Shut up.
32:01Shut up.
32:03Shut up.
32:16I've got your teeth on the ropes.
32:56Shut up.
33:00What's up?
33:02Chopper.
33:04It could be their getaway
33:05It could be they were about to blow this place
33:17Now
33:33Let's go
33:33Let's go
33:33Let's go
33:33Let's go
33:39Let's go
33:46Let's go
34:12Let's go
34:30What are you doing?
34:31You're gonna break your arm
34:59Impressive, aren't they?
35:05How long has it been?
35:07Ten years?
35:09Twelve?
35:16Wise precaution, Harry
35:19He's clean, my men don't like surprises
35:35I don't know how you did it, man, I don't know how you did that
35:53It's my story about everyone
35:53It's your ability to do it now
36:03Let's see if they have clean power
36:10Now we're feeling you hurt my Ä°nsan
36:14He won't fall away and another man
36:15Let's go out of here
36:16And you stole my glory.
36:42So where is it?
36:44Where is what?
36:45The hydrogen cyanide.
36:48I don't know how to break it here, Sam.
36:50But Dane forgot to draw me a map.
37:11That's what made you fail.
37:13Well, that's why they rejected you.
37:17You believe in power and strength to the exclusion of everything else.
37:23Everything that really matters in this world.
37:26And you believe in weakness?
37:28No, I do not believe in it.
37:30But by God, I'll defend it.
37:32To me, that is what CI5 is for.
37:35To protect those who can't protect themselves.
37:39You could never lead it.
37:41Men like you should never be allowed to wield power, Jason.
37:45You're a petty little Napoleon, about to meet your Waterloo.
37:49Take a look around you, Harry.
37:54Where's your power?
37:58Yes.
38:02Yes.
38:20There are two in Switzerland.
38:23There are Wall Street 5.
38:25All of them, the system is working perfectly.
38:30Now hang up.
38:31I'll never call this number again.
38:41The Japanese government have just paid up $1,000,000,000.
38:50What does it feel like to lose, Harry?
38:55I don't know.
38:57I'll tell you when I do.
39:43So, so what are we waiting for?
39:45Come on, boss.
39:46The boat's ready.
39:48What boat?
39:55What the hell was that?
39:57I don't know.
39:58Let's keep going.
40:04You are crazy.
40:06No, no.
40:07He's not crazy.
40:10He's just a little bit cleverer than he looks.
40:13See, that boat would have been picked up in half an hour.
40:16The only way you are going to get off this island is in that, using my call sign and pretending
40:23to be me.
40:25That is why you got me here.
40:28Am I right?
40:29Half right.
40:30As usual.
40:32There's more.
40:34Mr. Shaw.
40:35Start it up.
40:54Before you ask, Dan forgot to give me a key.
41:12Back up.
41:14Back up.
41:14Get out.
41:14Now.
41:15What the hell?
41:16There's half a ton of H.E. in here, hooked to a remote.
41:19So let's deal with it.
41:19No.
41:20This stuff is unstable.
41:22I'm the only one with a mask.
41:24God almighty.
41:26Find Malone.
41:27Malone?
41:28What's he doing here?
41:28He landed on the beach to keep Dane talking.
41:31Go.
41:32Go.
41:35Go.
41:35Go.
41:36Go.
41:37Go.
41:38Go.
41:39Go.
41:39Go.
41:41Go.
41:42Go.
41:43Go.
41:44Go.
42:03You won't fool them.
42:04Go shoot it down.
42:06Oh, no, I don't think so.
42:08Not with you on board.
42:10To give your ID personally.
42:15Yes, you're going to, uh, watch the island blow.
42:19It should be fun.
42:21This is effective up to ten miles.
42:25You're with me to the end, Harry.
42:30The end of CI-5.
42:33The great security force that couldn't lift a finger to stop a million people dying.
42:39Because they put the wrong man in charge!
42:45This is my moment.
42:46Yes.
42:52Aah!
42:54Aah!
42:56Aah!
42:57Aah!
42:59Aah!
43:00Aah!
43:14This is my moment!
43:28Impressive, aren't they, Jason?
43:31You're right, sir!
43:33Yes!
43:34Absolutely fine, thank you very much.
43:37All right, come on.
43:38Let's go and find Miss Backhead. Move, move!
43:45Let's go.
44:15Let's go.
44:45Let's go.
44:46Let's go.
44:46Let's go.
44:47Let's go.
44:48Let's go.
44:48Let's go.
44:50Let's go.
44:54Let's go.
44:59Let's go.
45:01Let's go.
45:03Let's go.
45:23Let's go.
45:29Let's go.
45:32You missed all the fun.
45:33Let's go.
45:35Let's go.
45:44Let's go.
46:01Let's go.
46:02Let's go.
46:05Let's go.
46:07Let's go.
46:09Let's go.
46:13Let's go.
