12 scenes
[Banter over comms, regarding Rachel]

Four hours in the van, she's eating all the crisps.

Parker

While she's stuck in there with you, so that's comfort eating. Have you been boring her with your cat chat again?

Cat chat? Actually, Parker, she likes my Barry the cat stories. [To Rachel] You like my Barry the cat stories, right? Hey, before you know it, you're gonna want one of your own.

Cats hate me. Sorry, baby.

[Toasting]

To Stone!

Parker

First one out of the van.

Yang

Hey!

Parker

And she didn't blow the op, so...

Yang

No, we did it all on our own.

Parker

Too bad. We'd make a winning trick if Stone joined us. Might be our lucky charm. But... you did well at blackjack.

And I'm never gambling again. Or stepping out of the van.

Yang
[They all vacate the van after a chase and walk after Rachel walking through a town square fountain]

Rachel... Rachel... Stone... who the hell are you?!

It's complicated.

Parker

From where I'm sitting, a baby agent from IT just took out an entire kill team. Bailey, what's taking you so long?

Shit. The Charter?! You're the... you're the bloody Charter?! What, are you trying to bring in Dhawan yourself?! Are you working with her?!

Yang

Answer him! You owe us that!

We're after her too!

Oh, my God! The Charter's real!

Yang

And you're one of them!

I wish I could've told you more. But we all want the same thing.

Parker

No, we don't. [He executes Bailey and Yang] You're not the only one with a secret. Did they mean something to you? Oh, come on, Rachel. You're only playing a part, right?

Who are you, Parker?

Parker

Why don't you ask The Heart?

If you wanted me dead, you would've shot me first.

Parker

Still a few things I need to know. About you, the Charter. But, perhaps most of all, I was looking forwards to a fight. [Stone lunges at Parker punching him in the face and Parker slashes her abdomen and she throws him onto fountain steps] Keya and I learned that the Charter infiltrated MI6. I had to flush out who. At first, I thought it was Yang, but I was so pleased it was you.

Keya's working for you?

Parker

Your hand's shaking.

You barely nicked me.

Parker

That was the point. Poison tipped. A little basic, I know, but it hits the spot. [Parker maneuvers Stone off him and onto steps] Looks the paralysis is kicking in. I spent six years looking for you people, Stone. Then fate brings you straight to me. You're a very good agent. But you were so busy letting a machine think for you that you missed me. Right here, in front of your face... the whole time.

And Mulvaney?

Parker

Oh. Well, he was tech-averse, like me. Kept everything up here. So, Keya and I set up our casino of blood to lure him in. We needed to have a little chat about the Heart. [Flashback to Italian alps mission with Parker holding Mulvaney at gunpoint in cablecar]

Mulvaney

All right, ok, ok, ok. Talk. Yeah. I- The Heart is what gives the Charter its power. It's the most formidable weapon you never knew existed. It can hack into anything, anywhere. Cell phone, power grids, the banks, governments, military, health records. Your secrets. It knows you better than it knows yourself. It's determinism. With access to trillions of data points at once, its modeling is so accurate it can predict the future. The Heart is knowledge and power. It can crash a market or drop a plane out of the sky. Who needs to steal a nuclear bomb when you can control them all? If you own them all... you own the world.

Parker

Where is it? Where... is it?

Mulvaney

Only a Charter member could tell you. [Parker shoves poison pill into Mulvaney's mouth]

Parker

The poison's a Cholinesterase inhibitor. Cold War paralytic. My chemist does all the classics. Like cyanide. [Scene goes to present and Parker injects Rachel with a needle] Oh, Rachel. Killing you is not part of the plan. We need to deliver a package first. I've loved working with you Rachel. Hand on heart. [Parker walks away]

Keya
[Keya is riding in a truck with Parker in Senegal]

You killed Bailey and Yang? That wasn't the plan.

Parker

You stick to the tech and leave strategy to me, okay? Let me remind you, we're partners, okay? So if you want me to do my job, you have to tell me what you're doing before you do it. Let me remind you, the Charter doesn't give two shits about people like Bailey and Yang. So, if you want us to succeed, you shouldn't either.

Parker
[Parker and Keya walk into aviation hanger]

You ever done this before? Choppered in at 40,000 feet? Trick question. No one has.

Helicopter pilot

But my mama always said; I can do anything.

Parker

How long do we have before the Locker descends?

Keya

Eleven hours and seven minutes. At which point, the Charter will realise what's going on. It'll take nine minutes and 26 seconds for the Locker to drop 40,000 feet. Well have eight minutes to get in, take the Heart, and get out again before they regain control.

Helicopter pilot

Very precise. You're sure?

Keya

No. I'll be sure when it descends. If they found my code, it won't descend, they'll be waiting for us, and we'll all die.

Helicopter pilot

I have to descend. Lower the rotor speed. Copy that. See you in seven minutes.

[Stone appears to have difficulty landing on the airship, going under]

She's not gonna make it.

Parker
[Stone maneuvers upwards and succeeds in landing on top of the airship and Parker has spotted her]

Look who it is. I'm gonna need a minute [Draws a handgun and Keya thwarts him]

Keya

No! The ship's lining is filled with hydrogen, one spark and we're all dead!

No way to get ahold of her.

Come on, Rachel, come on.

[Stone walks up airship structural beam]

It's over Keya.

Keya

For who?

Parker

I told you not to get out of the van.

You also told me to have some fun.

It's gone.

Keya

Now you answer to me.

We have lost the Heart.

Not yet.

Keya

Parker. Ninety seconds. Let's go.

Parker
[Parker has caused Stone to lose footing on airship structural beam and Stone has torn her parachute hanging off it]

Shame about your parachute. You'll be needing that.

Parker
[The airship is imploding and Parker and Keya have secured a rope from a helicopter and Stone successfully jumps ahold of the rope and she successfully separates Keya from Parker's helicopter rope by cutting it]

Get after them.

Helicopter pilot

Impossible. We'll be lucky to get to base as it is.

Keya
[Keya and Stone are in free fall with airship debris raining down on them and Stone is trying to get ahold of Keya]

Get away! Leave me alone! [Debris burns a hole in the parachute so they both land hard in the Senegalese Lompoul desert]

Parker

Nice trick you pulled with that facial recognition yesterday. Trying to put a lock on our new toy.

Keya

Would you come back for me if I hadn't?

Parker

We're a team, Keya. Don't do it again.

Parker

Is this your naughty list?

Keya

Emails, texts, bank accounts. The Heart's using my algorithm to sort through it all.

Parker

So, we find anyone? Gain access to anything?

Keya

Greatest skeleton key in the world.

Parker

Show me.

Keya

There it is. Evidence of Kharche's years of experiments on innocents across the country. That's the truth... for the world to see. That's impressive. But let's see what else this thing can do. [To a woman on his left] Find me the Kings.

Keya

What are you doing?

Woman

Nancy Morrison. King of Diamonds. Ex-CIA. The Heart tells us she's heading to a safe house with her family. [Screen shows her entering an elevator with family in a high-rise in a North-Eastern American city]

Parker

Drop the lift. [Elevator goes in free-fall with Nancy looking up to security camera like; are-you-****-kidding-me?]

Keya
[Keya runs over to woman objecting]

Are you serious? No. Do--

Woman

You're welcome. Hang on. I have another one. I think you're gonna like this one, boss. An unidentified military plane landed at a private airfield 33 minutes ago. There. Jiang Hsu. Served 35 years in Chinese State Security Service. The King of Clubs is here in Iceland.

Parker

Even better. Where is he now?

Keya

There were other people in that elevator. In that lobby.

Parker

Calm down, Keya.

Keya

You said we were going to expose Kharche and then the Charter, not murder them.

Woman

The King of Hearts with her team. They're in a bunker outside of London.

Parker

Good. Take them out.

Jiang

We're approaching now. We'll see you on the other side.

You're going in with them?

Jiang

I ordered the strike on Parker. It's only fair. You know... I would have made the same call in Chechnya.

Thanks. The right-- I've lost contact. The Heart's online.

No, no, no, no. We're locked in. Oh God, they've shut off our ventilation system. No, no, no, no.

Jack, how long we got? At this rate, an hour and we're out of oxygen.

Parker

The Charter never worries about who gets in their way. Neither will we. King of Hearts is locked in. They'll be dead in an hour.

Keya

You have to stop this, please.

Parker

Someone has to control the power, Keya. Why not us?

Keya

This is not what we agreed.

Parker

You're still not seeing the bigger picture. This isn't about some pissy disagreement you had with the bad man who killed your mom and dad. This is about power. Concentrated in the hands of the few, of the very few who could use it for good, who could actually make but they don't. At this moment, we are mining trillions of pieces of data. In a matter of hours, I will be able to take down the remaining members of the Charter. We've been used and manipulated our whole lives. Now it's time for us to take control.

Keya

What... what are you doing?

Parker

You wanna know how great men get power, Keya? It's not because they earn it, or they deserve it, it is because when the moment comes, they take it.
