The problem you have is time. You don't have three to four years.
We trusted the Swedes too much. So, how are we going to solve it?
An encrypted message was sent just seconds before the attack in Stockholm.
You'll never catch Farrin Haig with that thing.
Did you really think we wouldn't find out about your side business?
You've been working for the organisation
that killed Dmitri Borisov, a Russian diplomat.
DG would be ashamed of you.
So... they gave you up because you failed to kill me.
What's going on?
I've seen the hackers, the fake news. What's the endgame?
Carl, you're so naive.
Don't you understand that they are listening in
on this whole conversation?
If I give them or you what you need, then...
SIGHS
they won't have a reason to feed me.
So you let everyone else suffer instead.
Was I wrong again, then?
Your ambitions are to save the world.
Look at me here, the only person
who can change what will happen in Stockholm.
Tarabasov!
If you're listening, I've already sent evidence to Sweden
that the hacker facility was in a Russian-controlled part of Ukraine.
This hack will be blamed on Russia.
If you let me go, I'll make sure
the Swedish government puts the blame where it belongs.
If they let you go, take me with you
or I won't give you everything you need.
Give me something now.
Okay. The news articles, they're all fake,
designed to create chaos, except one...
There is one... What's the target and why?
What's the target?
Don't leave me!
SCREAM, GUNSHOTS
CELL DOOR SLAMS
Tell me, why shouldn't I just end you right here and now?
You and your department will have to carry the burden
of not stopping this elaborate attack on Russia's reputation.
I see what you are getting at.
CIA was behind the attacks on the first of May.
The fake news, everything. I worked for the CIA.
I can stop the Americans.
Okay, Carl Hamilton.
Haig has been working for an American businessman, Victor Pence.
He's probably in Stockholm now.
You kill Pence, and then you will be a free man again.
And not to forget your girlfriend's life will be spared.
Any attempt to contact her will violate our deal.
Is he really that naive? Carl... he is Swedish.
You handled yourself well this far.
But I am not wiring the money we agreed
as there is more to be done.
I am flying you to Stockholm to do your own dirty work.
Swedish police say they're treating yesterday's bomb blast...
PHONE TONE
Yes, here we go.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
HE LAUGHS
TRAIN SOUNDS HORN
Right.
1600 hours. Have the system people stand by.
Should we cancel all of our other plans?
No. Let's keep those going a bit.
At least until Lindgren signs.
Okay.
She may have second thoughts and need a bit more incentive.
We're live with the latest news from Sweden. Now Sweden is on...
SONJA SCREAMS
KNOCK AT DOOR
Hi, I'm here from the Swedish government. Okay.
Okay, hands up!
All right, now move! Towards the couch. Move!
Sit down.
Who are you? I think you know who I am.
I worked for Farrin Haig.
And I've recently come to know that she's been working for you.
I've seen the hackers' club in Ukraine that you sponsored.
The fake news. Now which one of the fake attacks is real?
I'm a businessman, not a terrorist.
Quit the bullshit.
What's the target? Mr Hamilton...
Carl...
PENCE'S PHONE RINGS
I've always been amazed
what you can accomplish when you're motivated, Carl.
Haig!
If you want to see Sonja alive, you need to do exactly what I tell you.
What have you done to her? I mean it, Carl.
You need to do exactly what I tell you.
What do you want? Hand Bruce the gun.
Stop looking so surprised, Carl, and hand Bruce the gun.
Good.
There's a cold war raging out there,
and everyone's fighting over the new currency.
Digital information...
You see what happens to people when they betray me, Carl.
Out the door.
Move. We're going for a ride.
FOOTBALL CROWD NOISE
ROAR OF CROWD
PHONE RINGS
Right, stop right here. Park the car.
The right.
Where is she?
Well, she isn't here. Obviously.
But she is still alive.
Thanks to you.
Let me tell you about your little girlfriend, Carl.
She's strapped to a bomb.
The only way to disarm it is with a PIN code.
And I'm the only one with the PIN code.
We left the truck in Gamla stan.
You understand there's still something I need you to do for me.
What we did with the video of Abdullah to fool you
we will now use to fool the world.
There's your speech.
The whole world will be listening.
So Tarabasov gave you your freedom,
if I take the blame.
I actually think he just likes humiliating the CIA.
It was my idea to make you the fall guy.
I'm sorry, Carl.
As you can see, the bomb is also connected to a timer.
Perhaps I can help you plan.
Your little speech should take about three minutes, if it goes well.
Then, let's say for the sake of argument,
you're going to need a minute to defuse the bomb.
Tick, tock.
Let's get started.
With passion, Carl.
The clock is ticking, Carl.
My name is Carl Hamilton.
I work as a contractor for the CIA, specialised in computer forensics.
I am on behalf of the Agency
the one responsible for what you see tonight.
See it as the taste of the warfare to come
and as a call for Sweden to take action.
Fortunately for you, this time it was only a lesson
from a just and caring friend.
But tomorrow it might be the Russians,
the Chinese, Iranians.
The real deal.
We urge people to get to the Swedish House of Parliament
to make their voices heard
and to show the government that there is still time to act.
To choose a side in this inescapable war.
Excellent. You make a very good martyr.
I've done what you wanted. Give me the code.
I'm sorry, Carl. You know that's not going to happen.
We're all just so very human
when it comes down to making choices in life.
You should have stayed, Carl.
You killed your girlfriend when you wanted out.
Both of you would have survived if you'd stayed.
Get up.
Give her the code and I'll let you live.
No.
Move. Come on.
PHONE TONE
Ow! Come on, move.
I'll use you as a deterrent if you don't give me the code.
Or I'll kill you.
I am not afraid to die.
This is for Mike. GUNSHOT
