Full Plot Synopsis: Agent
Carlson is getting ready for an interrogation into a recent mission uncovering
the true intent of a higher up member of MI6; agent Darwin. At the same time a
squad of terrorists are getting ready to kidnap Carlson and his daughter.
They get them away successfully and take them to a secure
location.
Months earlier, Carlson was on an assassination mission in Iran
were he was ordered to kill a high valued target. Through a misunderstanding
with his head agent, Darwin, he killed the wrong pony without knowing and got
home to find out that he had been punished for failing the mission, although he
thought he carried it out successfully. This led to him getting demoted to a
desk job.
In the terrorist’s captivity, Carlson starts planning his escape
whilst the terrorists confirm that they have captured him and his daughter,
they then realize that they have been double crossed by not being paid for
kidnapping Carlson so that he couldn’t get to the interrogation. This makes the
terrorists feel a vendetta towards the agent that hired them, Darwin. Instead
of keeping Carlson in their captivity they choose to get onto MI6 and get a
ransom for agent Carlson. Carlson escapes and frees his daughter leaving on his
way to MI6.
While the terrorists start coming to terms with MI6 one of them realize
that they have escaped, leading the terrorists to panic and choosing to go
after them. On his way Carlson finds a payphone and he contacts Darwin asking
to meet in a private area, Darwin agrees and then Carlson and his daughter turn
up at MI6, rushing up to the head office, knowing that Darwin isn’t in the
building.
Carlson gets up to the head office and sees the Director looking
confused about why he is in such a rush. Carlson tells him about the whole
affair, telling him about Iran and what has just happened to him and about how
Darwin is working against the MI6. After some thought the Director believes him
and they send out a task force to track him down.
Darwin arrives at the private location, confused that Carlson
isn’t already there, shortly after the terrorist group also arrives, confused
as well because they were expecting to find Carlson after following him on the
run. During a confrontation the terrorists find out that it is Darwin that’s in
front of them and they kill him in revenge for double-crossing them. As they
escape the task force that was set out to track down Darwin sees them escaping
and manages to arrest them.
