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.
Stone Cats hate me. Sorry, baby.
First one out of the van.
Hey!
And she didn't blow the op, so...
No, we did it all on our own.
Too bad. We'd make a winning trick if Stone joined us. Might be our lucky charm. But... you did well at blackjack.
Stone And I'm never gambling again. Or stepping out of the van.
Rachel... Rachel... Stone... who the hell are you?!
Stone It's complicated.
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?!
Answer him! You owe us that!
Stone We're after her too!
Oh, my God! The Charter's real!
And you're one of them!
Stone I wish I could've told you more. But we all want the same thing.
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?
Stone Who are you, Parker?
Why don't you ask The Heart?
Stone If you wanted me dead, you would've shot me first.
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.
Stone Keya's working for you?
Your hand's shaking.
Stone You barely nicked me.
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.
Stone And Mulvaney?
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]
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.
Where is it? Where... is it?
Only a Charter member could tell you. [Parker shoves poison pill into Mulvaney's mouth]
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]
What's happened? I need to know what's happened. How long were we compromised?
Three minutes and 45 seconds. Running a system check now.
We need to know what they accessed. Is the Locker safe? Boom.
The Locker is still high with the Locker safe inside, 85,000 feet up. No one's getting up there without a Space Shuttle. It's passing over the Atlantic towards West Africa.
And the other suits, can they still access the Heart?
Looks like it-- Jesus.
What?
There's been 100,000 attempts to access files. Clubs teams are analyzing the date, but looks like our security held.
Stone We need to shut it down now.
Shut what, down? The Heart?
Stone Until we know what they've done. We have no idea of what they're capable of.
Don't shut it down to find out what they've done. We'd be harming ourselves.
Stone We don't know. She's not stupid.
And neither are we.
Stone Sure about that? Because right now.
Rachel, Rachel. He's right. We'll sort it.
Stone "We"?
A word in private. Now.
Stone I told you. I knew Keya was playing us, playing the Heart.
No, you didn't. No, you didn't. You had a feeling. Nothing... nothing concrete, nothing actionable. A mood! A notion! A hunch! A bollocks! We don't trade in those!
Stone I knew she wouldn't be there.
You ignored the Heart and you went back in.
Stone To save my team.
They weren't your team! They died anyway! You going back made sure of that. You blew your cover! If you'd left when we told you to, Parker would've followed you, we'd have caught him and Bailey and Yang might be alive!
Stone I should've just listened to the Heart?!
Yes. The Charter exists for one reason. To maximize lives. That's the only moral metric there is. And it's a calculation. A pure and objective calculation.
Stone Made for us by a machine.
Have you forgotten how radical this is? It doesn't mean that what we do is easy or feels nice. you'll have the voices of those people in your head for the rest of your life. And you will never not feel responsible for them ever. But the end justifies the means.
Stone I spent every day with Parker for a year and didn't see it coming.
No. Neither did the Heart.
Stone So, what do we do now?
I'm... gonna make some tough choices, and this is the first one. I'm standing you down, Rachel. Go home. Get some rest. Keep your head down. Don't do anything stupid.
Stone You can't do this.
You're compromised. Parker knows you. Dhawan knows you. And the other, quite Kings... don't know if you can be trusted.
Stone And you?
I want to protect what we've spent 20 years trying to build.
Stone So, I'm just out.
It's about the greater good. it's nothing personal.
Stone No. I'm starting to see that.
Stone?
Wrong number.
Stone Wait. [She snatches phone from man] It's for me.
That's my phone. I--
So, why is a Charter agent riding around all alone, just hours after being poisoned? Doesn't feel like they're taking care of their most valuable player.
Stone Wait, do you want?
Don't be a sore loser. I bet you used to think we were so alike. Now you know I'm better.
Stone Better? You killed my friends.
What?
Stone You didn't know huh? Well, I told you this wasn't a game, Keya. Heart or no heart, I'm coming for you.
[Stone gives phone back to man and gets off bus]
I have to descend. Lower the rotor speed. Copy that. See you in seven minutes.
She's not gonna make it.
Look who it is. I'm gonna need a minute [Draws a handgun and Keya thwarts him]
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 It's over Keya.
For who?
I told you not to get out of the van.
Stone You also told me to have some fun.
It's gone.
Now you answer to me.
We have lost the Heart.
Not yet.
Parker. Ninety seconds. Let's go.
Shame about your parachute. You'll be needing that.
Get after them.
Impossible. We'll be lucky to get to base as it is.
Get away! Leave me alone! [Debris burns a hole in the parachute so they both land hard in the Senegalese Lompoul desert]
Stone Give me that thing before somebody gets-- [Keya discharges the gun over Stone's head as an I'm-serious-don't-****-around-with-me-shot]
I don't think so. So, here's what's going to happen. You're going to secret agent our way back to civilization, and I'm going to follow you three steps behind you with this gun. [Stone throws a handful of sand into Keya's face and hijacks the gun]
Stone Where's the Heart?
Parker has it. But I encrypted it to my biometrics so it's useless without me. Come on, get up.
Stone If I shoot you now, it's all over. Show you the same mercy you showed Bailey and Yang.
It's the logical play, Rachel. It's cause the Heart would tell you what to do that.
Stone I'm not like you. On your feet. We need to keep moving. So, what's the plan, Keya? Trying to get even with Liam Kharche for kicking you out of the penthouse?
Right. You think you know everything. I bet the Heart told you that he adopted me, lifted me out of nothing. But did it tell you why? Kharche used my parents like lab rats in a medical trial, and it killed them. He covered everything up and took me in thinking he was doing me a favor, but I let him think that because I knew one day, I'd be strong enough to make him pay for what he did to my parents.
Stone So, you get to tear the whole world down?
Oh, this is not just for me. It's for people like me. Parker's going to destroy the Charter. I've got my whole naughty list, and we're going to expose them all.
Stone With no thought of what comes next. You're a child.
And you think the Charter's any better? Just because they saved you doesn't make them any good. You think I didn't look into you? How many schools did you get kicked out of? Seven? Eight? Always a rebel. Always a problem. Violent, alone, helpless.
Stone Stop.
Until the Charter comes along, right? And gives you that discipline you so clearly crave. But did they take you in because you were good? Or because you were broken?
Stone Enough. Maybe I was broken. But there's a woman I know only as Nomad. She rescued me, trained me, showed me what's possible when there's someone watching your back.
Where is she now?
Stone Let's go. Parker's coming for you and I wanna have a bigger gun when he shows up.
It's definitely not the Charter. Mercenaries? Okay, let's just, um, give them a good cover story. They'll keep us alive for ransom. We'll reel them in and then bam. Just to be clear, the "bam" is for you to take them out. Yeah, I get that.
Who are you? And what the hell are you doing out here? Need a ride?
Stone You're an angel. [Radio song lyrics: Zombie no go go unless you tell 'em to go, Zombie no go stop unless you tell 'em to stop, Zombie no go turn unless you tell 'em to turn, Zombie no go think unless you tell 'em to think]
Stone You know, the Charter can take down Kharche. Parker's way isn't the only way. [Speaks in truck driver's language: How can we repay you?]
You already have. [Gunman open fire on the truck and Keya grabs a gun]
Stone Come with me. [Stone evades gunman by running through village and jumping off a seacliff]
She got away. That wasn't the deal.
Killing wasn't the deal either. You have to pay me now.
The deal changed. [Blond shoots her]
Stone, thank god, where are you?
Stone Clubs are dead. University was a trap. I have new intel. A new location.
We've-- We've lost Clubs? What new Intel?
Stone Keya. She shut down the Heart.
How do you know she's not playing you?
Stone I don't.
We're gonna die in less than an hour. They shut down our air supply.
Stone What?
She shut down our air supply.
Stone Parker did. I believe her, Nomad. I'd be dead too if I hadn't listened to her. I trust her, and you need to trust me.
Fifty minutes.
Stone I can work with that.
I'll see you. You too.
