The Contractor

Easy, baby.

Hi, James.

Ali Mahmoud Jahar.

Remember him?

Course you do.

Wake up.

Don't.

Back.

Back.

So, they finally got him.

Took a year to put this thing into place.

He's in prison in London.

He's my gift. I'm giving him to you.

Wet work, Jimmy.

Right now he's in solitary, but in 48 hours...

...British intelligence is gonna be sweating him and that's why I'm here.

I heard you moved up.

Keeping your distance from this stuff?

Since his unfortunate escape...

...there have been three bombings attributed to his cell.

Belgrade subway, Pakistani tour bus...

...and those army barracks in Iraq.

That's 200 deaths...

...you and I know could have been prevented.

You wanna see him run his operation from prison?

Not to mention the political ramifications when it's discovered...

...we sponsored his training in Saudi.

We need you to eliminate him and we need you to get out.

I've got two passports for you, one to enter, one to leave.

Your liaison in London is Terry Winchell. He's a good guy.

Used him before.

Moscow Rules, of course.

Every second counts, no mistakes.

I know what it means.

Same old shit.

Flight 679 now boarding from Gate 3.

Would passenger David Alan Raynor...

...traveling to Luxor please proceed immediately to Departure Gate 59.

Hey.

- Winchell? - That's me.

And you, it's a true honor to meet you, sir.

The stories I've heard about you over the years.

- All right, let me take that. - Which way?

Which way? Well, this way.

Did you have a good flight?

Well, welcome to London.

Excuse me, miss.

Sorry about the weather.

Halt.

Okay, you're the boss.

Okay.

Look, I'll need these things before I leave.

Easy-peasy.

Oh, where's the safe house just in case we get separated?

Elephant & Castle.

1212 Statton Road.

Easy to remember. Always use it.

The name "Whitney" on the flat door.

And if you need anything else...

...Beloit Printing's the place to go.

Now, he's a mate. Nice guy.

It's gonna be chaotic real quick.

Two seconds, and any longer then we're both dead.

- Hello? - Has our friend arrived yet?

Yeah, yeah, we're ready.

He's good. No trouble whatsoever.

- Any time. - Of course, sir. Yeah, yeah, sure.

- Any time. - Brilliant.

- Good luck. - Cheers.

Who was that?

That was our dark lord and master.

You just recorded Collins?

Take it easy, all right.

It's just a precaution.

It's a new world out there.

- Paranoia. - Insurance.

I've got loads of these recordings back at the safe house.

You can have a listen to them later on if you fancy a laugh.

Okay, we're on.

Look lively.

It's like a feeding frenzy here.

Okay, look lively. I gotta go.

Okay. It's on. It's on.

He's coming through. He's gonna stop. He's gonna stop.

I'm gonna get him closer.

It's up to you now. Here we go. Here we go.

Here we go. Ten seconds.

Stand by.

Okay, five seconds.

Three seconds. Oh, no, he's covered. He's covered!

He's got cover on him. He's got cover on him!

Other way, other way. Headed north.

Go. Take the shot, now.

What you waiting for? He's in.

Here's your chance. He's there. Just shoot now. Now, now!

Through here.

Right. Quick as you can.

Keep moving.

He's gone, he's gone. We've lost him.

I'm gone. I'm out of here.

It's all fucked.

Where is my lawyer?

Terry, get the car.

It's fucked. It's all fucked.

Terry, get the car.

Everything's arranged.

Don't worry, we'll have you out of here in no time.

- Hey, hold it a sec. - Hey.

- ID, please. - All right.

Please, sir. Your ID.

Look at me, look at me. Take your glasses off.

Do you hear me? I said, take them off.

All right.

Right, you check the pews, I'll take the bell tower.

- Okay, sir, on your way. - Great. Smile.

Damn it, Terry.

Sorry, mate, I just...

- Just drive. - Okay.

Great. Brace yourself.

Suspects are heading north in a black cab.

Hold on to your pants.

Secure the perimeter.

I repeat, secure the perimeter.

Great!

Yes.

Superintendent, sir.

Morning.

Where's Inspector Ballard?

She's down at the tube station, sir.

The next stop, Elephant & Castle.

Elephant & Castle, next stop.

Change, please. Change.

Surveillance footage arrived yet?

Cramston.

- Inspector. - Can you bring the stills?

Right away.

Let's not make a big deal of this, Dad.

Of course not.

Just make sure you phone Mum about tea on Sunday, will you?

...speak about it again. I want it done yesterday, understand?

Hello, Mr. Whitney.

Lovely weather for a change.

Oh, sir.

The driver of the cab was also at the courthouse.

Posing as a journalist, we assume.

There was also a passenger in the cab.

We might be able to get a clear image from those, but I'm not sure.

Definitely two suspects then?

Only one accounted for.

Kitty. Bingo?

Bingo?

Kitty, Kitty.

I'm looking for my cat.

She's white with two brown feet.

Who are you anyway?

I'm a friend of Mr. Whitney.

I like Mr. Whitney.

How'd you hurt yourself?

Let me see it.

It looks really serious. You need to get it looked after.

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

You need me to help you.

Hey.

If I see your cat, I'll...

I'll keep it for you.

Don't bother.

I don't really have a cat.

Oh, shit.

Thank you.

Jeremy Collins.

Andrew Windsor. How do you do?

This assassin is obviously very dangerous, as you can see...

...which is why there's an international manhunt.

Now, Mr. Collins, is to be given all cooperation during your investigation.

I really appreciate all your help, superintendent.

My entire department would.

Well, I'm here to, carry out any orders that Mr. Collins may have...

...thus making them, as it were, English orders.

Thank you very much.

Exactly what does that mean, sir, if you don't mind my asking?

You tell me the word that you didn't understand and I'll try and couch it...

...in simpler terms.

You see, I have 38 police personnel...

...and four specialist units working on this inquiry.

Am I to notify each one of them about Mr. Collins?

No. I'd rather you didn't, if that's all right.

It's a highly sensitive case we're working on here.

Which department did you say you work for?

- The Justice Department. - Justice Department?

U.S. Justice Department.

My main concern is to identify the shooter.

My government has instructed me to take him into custody.

Thing is, Mr. Collins, if...

When we find him, we will question him before anybody else does.

It's under my jurisdiction.

Well, see now, this is where we're not really communicating.

When the shooter is found, with all due respect...

...your department is under orders to call my department immediately.

Well, I thought I'd made that abundantly clear.
