119. INT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - PRESS GALLERY - CONTINUOUS. GERRY and COLLETTE closing on the chamber. A startled official steps forward to stop them, but GERRY smashes him to the ground with the butt of his revolver. He opens the door. We hear the roar of the chamber... INT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - CHAMBER - CONTINUOUS. THE PRIME MINISTER The right honourable gentlemen knows, as do all members of this house, that the government is committed to the defeat of terrorism in all its forms. INT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - PRESS BOX IN THE CHAMBER - CONTINUOUS. COLLETTE has frozen. The hacks, officials...all stunned, paralysed...GERRY is slowly walking towards the front.... INT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - PRESS GALLERY - CONTINUOUS. RYAN jumps a desk, slides across a wide central table strewn with press releases and bursts through the door... INT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - PRESS BOX IN THE CHAMBER - CONTINUOUS. GERRY raises his gun arm. Someone screams. Shouts, incomprehension... RYAN tears down towards him... Gerry! RYAN He’s still running -- shoots -- McVeigh goes down, falls towards the balcony edge. RYAN on him now, taking him out -- they tip over... RYAN holds on as GERRY tumbles to the floor. PANDEMONIUM. More shouts. Screams. PEOPLE sprinting from the chamber... RYAN yanks himself up -- climbs back up the balcony -- looks down to check Gerry is dead. He reaches COLLETTE, has to get her out of here...
120. EXT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - UNDERNEATH BIG BEN - A MINUTE LATER. COLLETTE My Mam...my mother... He bundles her into the back of a WAITING CAR. COLLETTE (CONT’D) They think it’s her... INT. COLLETTE’S HOME - DAY Neither MULGREW nor MA has moved. MARK runs down the hallway. MARK Who is it, Grandma? MA. It’s a friend, Marky. Just a friend. EXT. MILITARY AIRPORT OUTSIDE LONDON - DAY RYAN and ALLEN hustle COLLETTE into the back of a chinook that once again twists sky-wards. EXT. BELFAST STREET - DAY. Police Land Rovers scream towards COLLETTE’s home. INT. COLLETTE’S HOME - HALLWAY - DAY. MULGREW. I think you should get your coat, Mrs McVeigh. A look of terrible sadness in MA’s eyes. She has awaited this moment for so long, has known it was inevitable, but now that it is upon her the agony is unbearable. She looks down towards the kitchen, where the children are playing... INT. CAR - BELFAST - DAY. ALLEN’s P.O.V. as he drives at terrifying speed through the damp Belfast streets. ANGLE on RYAN and COLLETTE as they are thrown around in the back.
