Strike Back

She is a highly motivated operative with a mission she has shown incredible dedication to.

Unless we know what that mission is

and why she is dealing with the Yakuza,

we'll be one step behind her and her masters from North Korea.

The deal that I have with Shiro will be fulfilled.

There will be no deal.

Tell your people Section 20 did this

and that your father's death needs to be avenged.

These guys are probably from the Yakuza syndicate.

Scott, go and find them.

What if the Yakuza took him?

Then Mei is our best chance of getting him back.

I have Shiro here and there's no sign of Mei.

Shit!

The Yakuza shipment for Mei is vanadium.

Used in missile technology.

Oh, shit, buddy! I hope you're having better luck than I have.

Shit!

Oh, shit!

Aargh!

What the hell...?

Who the hell are you?

The reason you're still breathing, asshole!

Yeah, fair enough.

- We're with the agency. - Fall back!

Damien, Damien, Damien!

Move back. Move, kid!

Move!

Move! Get behind me and start running. Get behind me!

Run!

Get to the boat! Fall back!

Move, move, move! Go!

Go, go, go!

You just blew months of our work, so thanks for that.

So what, the CIA's recruiting out of South London now, are they?

Funny guy. We're contractors.

You're a couple of mercs, I'll tell you that.

Yeah, mercs that just saved your life.

Well, it was you and your amateur crew just screwed our entire mission.

So what are you going to do about that, eh?

It's Shiro.

He ordered the murder of two of my mates. Now I want him.

Now you can stand by me or you can kill me.

I don't really care.

Because I'm not stopping until I get him.

You OK?

I think we've lost them.

We've got to keep moving. Let's go.

Hey, kid, walk in the water.

Walk in the water!

No prints.

You're really a soldier?

Yeah. I am. I'm not a drug dealer.

I'm definitely not an IT consultant.

I'm a soldier.

I'm really good at it too.

Come on. We better get off this beach, kid.

It's too easy to see us.

- Damien, hey! What about that? - What?

Hey! Hey! Over here!

Over here, over here!

Akiyama...

- The exchange can't be delayed. - Section 20?

They were grasping at straws. But we'll adjust our plans.

Too much is at stake for both of us.

And they said they were CIA?

'Yeah, here to render Shiro back to the US.'

- And do you trust them? - 'No, I don't trust them.'

Why don't I bring them in? Let's meet somewhere neutral.

'Roger that.'

- You all right? - Yeah.

The agency's finest, Mason and Faber.

Philip Locke.

Get me Izzy Fernandez in Virginia.

The CIA won't verify us.

Izzy owes me a few favours.

If needs be, she will verify.

See, it don't matter if you verify us or not.

What matters is that you people got in the way of our fucking mission.

Hmm!

No sudden moves, darling,

otherwise I'll turn this cafe into a fucking bloodbath.

OK.

Izzy, do the names Faber and Mason mean anything to you?

You're brave.

You did good.

Why are you so calm?

You just killed three people and you're acting like nothing happened.

Well, yeah, I did. They were coming at us with guns.

They would have shot us.

I could have lost you.

Who were they?

They looked like Yakuza.

I've never seen them before.

Occupational hazard.

Strangers trying to kill you without introducing themselves.

You think this is funny?

Yeah.

You got to develop a sense of humour to deal with that shit.

Er, no, you don't. Normal people don't.

How many...

How many have you killed?

You know what?

I'm starting to think it was a good idea you never stuck around.

Look, kid, I know I'm an asshole.

I ran out.

And if I could, I'd run back 16 years and kick my own ass.

I deserve it. I don't blame you for hating me.

What I don't understand is why you came all this way just to tell me.

You could have just picked up the phone and said, "Fuck you."

Roger that, Izzy. Thank you.

CIA confirms.

So, what are your orders?

Right now, to tell you to back the fuck up, as my grandmomma would say.

- This is our op. Shiro is our target. - Really?

Tell me, where is Shiro? Hmm?

I mean, you're the CIA.

You know everything, right?

Our priority is to stop the Yakuza shipping vanadium

on behalf of the North Koreans.

After that...

you can take Shiro with you. Deal?

You know the MO. The sooner we bring in Shiro, the bigger our bonus.

- All right. - Martinez?

Our intel suggests Shiro's operation is being held at an aid depot about 20 clicks from here.

It's part of Takagi's Kokura Foundation. It's legit.

No, it ain't.

It's a front for Shiro's drug business.

You asked me why I came here.

To see my dad, Marcus. He's always been there for me.

Every time I mess up, he's always on my side.

Your mom told me you messed up.

You got wasted and stole a car on your birthday.

No, Damien, I stole Marcus' credit card.

I maxed it out. Fucking blew the lot!

I can't go back.

Look, kid,

people don't mess up because they're bad or evil.

They only mess up cos that's what people do.

If your dad...

If... Marcus...

is as good as you say he is, he'll know that.

You can go back.

Trust me.

What?

What?

It's my first piece of parental advice.

I nailed it!

Oh, fuck you.

You're an asshole.

Yeah, a lot of people would probably agree with you.

Can I buy your phone?

Here.

More.

Great!

_

Yeah?

- 'Is that all you got?' - Ah, Jesus. It's Damien.

Where the fuck are you?

- 'Somewhere south of nowhere.' - And you're all right? Fit?

Yeah. We're both good.

Why? Did you miss me?

Oh, mate, terribly.

Yeah. I'm tearin' up.

Hey, Mikey, I might lose the signal.

We got hit.

Yeah, Yakuzas. We know, we know.

The bastards are in bed with Office 39.

Listen, we're on an op, I'm going to send you the grid right now.

One sec.

What's the hold-up?

Who's that?

'Oh, it's just a couple of guys we're working with.'

What - I've been gone 24 hours and you're already replacing me?

What, are you jealous? It's not like that, trust me.

'Well, he's American. That makes it worse.'

Did you get the grid?

Yeah, just came through.

Thanks.

Mikey, Julia OK?

Mate, I think she's moved on.

Fuck you.

Mate, we could use a little help here.

Damien... Damien...

Damien? Shit. Lost him.

Fuck. Shit.

Can this go any faster?

OK, Martinez and Richmond with me. We have good visual on the road.

Rebel One team, move to the warehouse,

see if you can ID the vanadium.

And remember - they don't know we're here until we have eyes on.

OK, let's move.

Thank you.

I gotta find some transport and get back to the team.

Hey, what about those?

Funny.
