Good morning, Colonel. Very good, thank you.

COLONEL POWELL:
Confirm

Seahawk is in the Blue Zone,

but Condor is

still in flight, right?

Seahawk is in

the Blue Zone.

We expect Condor

to land in an hour.

COLONEL POWELL:
Thank you.

Are your men in place?

Yes, ma'am.

GENERAL BENSON:

Darling, it's your dad here.

I'm looking at a whole shelf

of these Annabell dolls.

You didn't tell me that

there were different types.

I have no idea

what to buy her.

Can you get back

to me ASAP?

Otherwise...

Um...

I'm holding

a "Time to Sleep" doll.

It says here,

"You will hear her babbling

"when it is

beddy-byes."

Call me as soon

as you can.

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

(PEOPLE SPEAKING

OTHER LANGUAGE)

General Benson

here for Cobra.

General Benson.

Jack Cleary.

I'm coordinating today.

- This way, sir.

- Thank you.

Hold on a minute. "Baby Moves"?

What have I got?

Well, does it matter?

I mean...

General, they're

asking for you, sir.

Yes. Uh... All right, darling,

I'll try.

Yup. Bye-bye.

I bought

a "Time to Sleep" doll

when I should have

bought a "Baby Moves."

Apparently, there's

an important difference.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

I'll see what I can do, sir.

- Attorney General, good morning.

- Good morning, Frank.

- Minister.

- General.

Ma'am.

Congratulations on

your new appointment.

Thank you.

I'm gonna talk you through the

capture of Susan Danford,

AKA Ayesha Al-Hady.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON P.A.)

- How are you?

- I'm good, and you?

Welcome to Nairobi.

The Condor has landed.

MOSES:
(ON PHONE) Copy that.

Proceed to the Blue Zone.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Did you go to the game?

- I was busy.

You might still make it.

What have

we got here?

Tracking some

extremists in Nairobi.

One guy's from

my hometown.

You're kidding.

Serious?

- Yup. Uh-huh.

- Is that him?

Muhammad Abdisalaam,

Somali.

A lot of them there.

Well, let's hope

he's not coming back.

- Yeah. Have a good shift.

- Thanks.

(VAN DOOR OPENS)

- DRIVER:
Thank you.

- Mmm-hmm.

What's going on?

We've got Condor

in the Blue Zone.

Who the f***

is Condor?

The second guy in

from the airport.

I can't keep up

with these names.

Showman 5-0, can we get

a view into the house?

Peg 9-0, Showman 5-0,

can you try and look into the house?

Moving now.

(SIGHS)

Showman 50, would you

like us to bring in Ringo?

Negative. Wait for

number three to arrive.

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

We have movement.

COLONEL POWELL:
Damn it.

Are they leaving?

Where are Danford

and Al-Hady?

Colonel, our intelligence only has

them arriving in another half hour.

Well, then our

intelligence is bad.

MOSES:
Load up!
