00:01Will, just give me a second with that.
00:06I'll see you outside.
00:13Canny.
00:16Canny.
00:18It's me.
00:20You should get some sleep.
00:22Where are you going?
00:23I'm going to a wedding.
00:25Oh, you look great.
00:28Listen, I'll be back on Sunday.
00:30Will you be okay?
00:32Yeah.
00:35Zoe.
00:37I've been thinking about Tom.
00:39What he did.
00:41He was right.
00:42You've got to seize the day.
00:44I guess...
00:45he thought he had to act.
00:47Get out while the game was good.
00:49You're not thinking about...
00:50No, not at all.
00:51It's just, you know,
00:52how our job,
00:54what we go through,
00:56can only really be understood
00:58by someone who lives this life.
01:01We have a particular understanding of it, of course.
01:03No, it's more than that.
01:05And it's made me realise
01:07that we've been ignoring it.
01:09Well, pretending there's nothing going on.
01:13I'm with Will, Danny, you know that.
01:15Zoe.
01:17Look, this weekend,
01:18just think about what you really want.
01:22Who you really want.
01:26Come on.
01:42What are you doing?
01:43I'm just checking to see
01:44whether there's an injector seat or something.
01:46Oh, no, I just flick a switch down there.
01:49Bang, you're toast.
01:50Well, I'd better behave myself, hadn't I?
01:52It's so much easier than a long, drawn-out break-up.
01:54You know, those wasted cinema tickets,
01:56rows over dinner, broken promises.
01:59One flick of a button,
02:00out with the old, in with the new.
02:03Talking of old,
02:04have you and Danny ever had a thing?
02:08Why do you ask?
02:10You seem very careful, attentive around him.
02:13Like just now.
02:16No.
02:17No, definitely not.
02:18I think he thinks he'd like to, you know.
02:21It's OK, it's just something for me to deal with.
02:23He's had a really bad week.
02:26It's fine if you don't want to tell me.
02:35What the hell happened?
02:36All the cogs went down.
02:37Zooli, where's Zooli?
02:38He's fine, he's fine, he's unhurt.
02:40Paracord?
02:41Superficial injuries, he's gone to the hospital.
02:42Best place for him.
02:43There's more police than nurses in that place.
02:45That wouldn't be hard.
02:47Hey, get the ballistics done first.
02:51That's on it.
02:53That's it.
02:54The short-stocked Scorpion?
02:55No it isn't, there's something missing.
02:57The barrel had some sort of silencer,
02:59the sound was muffled.
03:01It had some sort of silencer.
03:03I really don't think so.
03:05I mean, I'll look into it, but...
03:07Hey, Zooli's here.
03:08You can finish the work and stuff later.
03:10It's OK, we're through.
03:15Who did it?
03:16You're asking me?
03:18For how long have you got?
03:19Half the Muslim world wants me dead.
03:21Aren't you supposed to be protecting me?
03:23We did.
03:24You're here, we protected you.
03:26Yes, it is our job.
03:27And it was through a heightened sense of threat to yourself
03:30that we came on board.
03:32Whilst we deeply regret what happened...
03:34Look, I arranged tea with a friend
03:36and the friend ends up getting shot.
03:38That's not what I call full protective surveillance.
03:40We might as well have just gone to Starbucks on our own.
03:43Coffee, Danny.
03:45Starbucks? That would have been for coffee, not tea.
03:48Anyhow, we do appreciate your coming here.
03:51Good, because you'll be pleased to hear
03:53I've already been in touch with the Home Secretary.
03:55Oh, Sam, could you...?
03:57There's no need.
03:58I told the Home Secretary that from now on
04:00I'd organise my own protection.
04:02I have some boys outside already, ex-CIA.
04:04Ex-CIA? I'm impressed.
04:07Please don't stand there and say he's got a point.
04:09Over the river at six, you guys may do things differently,
04:12but here, when we run...
04:13He's got a point.
04:16And me, I'm here, not over there.
04:18But if Harry changes his mind,
04:19you can be the first to escort me across the river.
04:22Danny, this isn't about you.
04:24Your work was outstanding.
04:25You saved Zulie's life, but you were seriously compromised.
04:28We all were.
04:29I mean, somebody knew exactly where we were,
04:31when we would be there, how to get in, how to get away.
04:34Right, two things we need.
04:36Who did it and what are they going to do next?
04:39And what happened then?
04:44Danny, what happened?
04:47I fired two more, missed,
04:50and tried to protect Zulie.
04:52And the gunman?
04:53He was crouched and we started to exchange fire.
04:56There were books being shredded everywhere.
04:59It was like it was all happening slowly.
05:14GUNSHOT
05:17Harry came straight across with the gunman here?
05:20Yeah.
05:21And took the hit.
05:24Brave man.
05:27See, this is the crucial part.
05:28The gunman was in and he had a clear shot at Zulie here.
05:31And time.
05:33Why didn't he at least try and shoot him?
05:35Because I started firing at him.
05:38But when he had the chance...
05:43Ruth, I need some research done on one of the people involved.
05:46Zulie?
05:47No, he's being covered and Zoe and Danny will be on the hit man.
05:50Now, I want you to check out our friend, the bookseller, Haricat.
05:55I sometimes think it's useful to look at an operation
05:57from a less obvious viewpoint.
05:59Cover all the bases.
06:01Harry tells me you're the soul of discretion.
06:04Did he?
06:05Well, yeah, I try.
06:07Good. Also...
06:09Oh, and Tom.
06:10Tom.
06:12Sorry.
06:13God, so sorry.
06:16Adam, I assume that means that you don't want me
06:20to distribute my research to the rest of the office as normal?
06:23That's right, Ruth.
06:25I'd also prefer if it came to me, Adam, rather than Tom.
06:28Yes, yes, of course, Adam. Adam!
06:36That's fine, just do as he says.
06:38I brought Adam in to resolve the Tom problem.
06:41And now you intend to keep him on?
06:43I haven't decided.
06:44But whatever I decide, whoever joins the team,
06:46I still very much see you as one of the senior pros.
06:49To use an old cricket expression.
06:52And Adam's what? Our new captain?
06:55I don't know. I only know that I want someone from outside.
07:00So all that makes someone like Malcolm what?
07:04Head groundsman?
07:05I think we can probably take the analogy too far, don't you?
07:08Right.
07:16Powercat's application for citizenship?
07:18That he wrote out when he applied for immigration.
07:20What of it? Give me the highlights.
07:23Well, it reads to me like... like a not very good legend.
07:26Something an MI6 case officer would make up.
07:29Seems too real to be real life, if you know what I mean.
07:34Adam.
07:35Thank you, Ruth.
07:38I shall look into it.
07:50Danny.
07:52I, er... I want you to arrange protection for Haricat.
07:55The bookseller? Yeah, he's a witness.
07:57He may have seen the guy, knows something.
07:59Shouldn't I get on to Special Branch?
08:01No, no, I want you to do it. Spend some time with him.
08:03Listen to him.
08:05OK.
08:07Cheers.
08:10You were very brave.
08:12I went for him before he got you, that's all.
08:15You saw it, you were there.
08:18If I think about it, you know what it was?
08:21It's the moment you spend your whole life trying to avoid.
08:24The man on the bridge about to jump, lunatic with a knife.
08:29I tell you, if I had anywhere to run, I would have been the first one to go out.
08:32And I would have been close behind.
08:35That's where you're wrong.
08:37The world is divided with two types of people.
08:40People like you who look for trouble and sensible people who try to avoid it.
08:45In a moment of insanity, I stepped over the line and look what happened.
08:51I should have stuck to my books.
08:53Well, Zully and I are still around because of you.
08:58Why do they think I need protection?
09:00I guess it's because you were the only one who saw the hitman and he may come after you.
09:04Probably someone's heard some chatter on the wire somewhere.
09:06You saw him too?
09:09Maybe I need protection as well.
09:12But who guards the guards then?
09:15I think they expect us to be able to look after ourselves.
09:18OK.
09:20I'm happy to go and ask Mace,
09:22but we must be careful to remember that one swallow does not make a summer and all that.
09:26I hate to put this on your shoulders, but...
09:29Let me talk to him.
09:32Why should I be interested in this man's immigration application?
09:36Does it not say visas and passports on my door?
09:39Actually, it says Department of Livestock and Freshwater Fish.
09:42There's no need to be facetious, Harriet.
09:44Oliver, this is the man who was hit
09:46when someone took a pop at our esteemed novelist, Zooli.
09:50So what? Wrong time, wrong place.
09:52To me, this application looks like something written by an analyst.
09:56One of those spotty MI6 mutants they keep in the dungeons at Vauxhall Bridge Road
10:00beside where Sea grows his magic mushrooms.
10:05Harriet, we may not be able to see the massed red-coated ranks
10:08of England's finest piling across the field at Waterloo,
10:12but to all intents and purposes, we are at war.
10:15And you're asking me to check up on whether 20 years ago
10:20some Mr Harakat really was a trainee shelf-stacker
10:25at the Karachi pick-and-mix.
10:28I'll keep it simple.
10:30You oversee both Five and Six.
10:32Is there anything you're not sharing about Harakat?
10:35Of course not.
10:38Harriet, we're on the same side.
10:40Don't you think that instead of pursuing this childish interagency rivalry,
10:45you should concentrate on trying to plug the gaps in your own security?
10:49Meaning what?
10:51As I hear it, the reason this poor chap got shot
10:54was that half of London knew Zooli's schedule.
10:59So there's nothing that you're not telling me about Harakat?
11:03My role is no longer operational.
11:07My role is no longer operational. I just oversee.
11:11Precisely. Everything goes across your desk.
11:18Anyone running operations within the UK without informing MI5
11:21is playing a very dangerous and foolish game,
11:23which is why I explicitly forbid it.
11:37The forensic boys found this under our wagon.
11:40It's a jamming device that could be triggered up to 500 metres away.
11:43It's what brought down the comms.
11:45Thanks, Malcolm.
11:47There's a list of everybody that had access to Zooli's schedule.
11:50MI6, Home Office, Number 10, Cabinet Office,
11:53and most of the rest are Whitehall, by the looks of it.
11:55And there's a tonne of security camera footage from the bookshop.
11:58My guess is that the hitman checked out the bookshop at some point before.
12:04Just on the Iranians now.
12:06I've cross-referenced the footage from the bookshop with all I know of the hitman.
12:09There's just three more Middle Eastern embassies left, and...
12:12And then I'm left with the assorted mercenaries and nutcases.
12:14Well, you might get lucky.
12:16Check this out.
12:18The Syrian security adviser. No match.
12:21Nonetheless, I do think we ought to put him under immediate round-the-clock surveillance.
12:24What do you think?
12:26You can have night duty.
12:28Not a chance.
12:30Night duty.
12:33Malcolm, what do you think about Mr Handsome over here?
12:37He's OK.
12:38OK? That is more than OK. That's like...
12:41The business?
12:42I'd say it depends what you think makes a man attractive to women.
12:45Well, um, somebody that looks like that, and, uh, someone that makes me laugh.
12:49No, no, no, Zoe's right. I'm too serious. I should lighten up.
12:53Maybe you could help me.
12:55I could practise jokes. Stuff like that.
12:58Hmm. Ruth?
13:01She loved him, Malcolm.
13:29Go on, then, Malcolm.
13:31Try your joke out.
13:33See if that brings us any luck.
13:35OK, right. Um...
13:37A man walks into a doctor's surgery.
13:39Doctor, doctor, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my bum.
13:41Doctor says, how's that?
13:43Bloke says, don't you start.
13:50Then?
13:51Then, um...
13:53Then, um...
13:56Then, in some ways, Malcolm,
13:58I don't think I'm the best person for you on this.
14:01Right. There's a good one about two ants and an elephant.
14:04Wait. There it is.
14:07Finally. That's it. That's a match.
14:10Someone up there must like your joke, Malcolm.
14:13Outstanding.
14:16This is our main hitman suspect.
14:18His name is Sharaf Al-Yul.
14:20He came through Heathrow on a tourist visa a few weeks ago.
14:23These were taken a week before the shooting.
14:25Taken where?
14:26On the CCTV in the bookstore.
14:28Who is he and where's he on our database?
14:30He's a big-time hitman with no particular allegiance
14:32that we know of to any of the groups or countries he's worked for.
14:35Bosnia, 96, where he spent his summer killing Serbs.
14:39Algiers.
14:41Apparently, the regime was strapped for cash,
14:43so they paid him in kind, with a Russian military helicopter.
14:46Land that in the back garden, the neighbours would know you mean business.
14:49So he's a hired assassin. Chances are he'll try again.
14:52We need to find this man and who he's working for.
14:56Will's asked me to go to a wedding with him.
14:58When?
14:59This weekend.
15:00Whose is it?
15:01It's his best friend from college, I think.
15:03That's great.
15:04Yeah, but it's the first thing we've done in public together.
15:08So are you going to get him vetted?
15:10He already has been.
15:11It's a shame that the service has to be the first to know
15:13when we're serious about something.
15:15Especially before they do.
15:22So, was anybody following us?
15:24For a while back there, but we lost them.
15:31I didn't see you, you know, looking.
15:33No, you wouldn't, would you? That's the point.
15:35There's a lot about this I don't understand.
15:37Well, it just becomes instinctive after a while.
15:40There are some things you can do, you know, to make sure.
15:42Yeah, like going twice around a roundabout?
15:44No, that's more Starsky and Hutch.
15:46No, that's what we just did.
15:49No, that's because you don't know how to read a map.
15:52So, sometimes the lies just need pretending to be somebody else.
15:55Like the insurance thing?
15:56Yeah.
15:58That's OK, you can tell me.
16:01You know, you've really got to promise
16:03not to tell anyone about these conversations.
16:06I can't.
16:08OK.
16:10I have four or five full other identities.
16:14Now, the initials of the other names
16:16are usually the same as our own.
16:18That just makes it a little bit easier to remember.
16:20But they've all got different backgrounds, different jobs, different addresses.
16:22And the people who work there and live there will...?
16:24Will vouch for me as that person.
16:26So, say I'm going undercover as some, I don't know...
16:29Zoe Reynolds.
16:31Zelda Ringbinder, the notorious drug thief.
16:34OK, and the Medellin cartel
16:36want to send someone to check Zelda out.
16:38So, somebody answers the phone, or answers that door,
16:40and says, yeah, sure, she lives here, but she's not here right now.
16:43And I have credit cards, a post, a passport in that name at that address.
16:47Now, a whole past.
16:49Do you ever forget who you're meant to be, Zelda?
16:51I have. All the time.
16:59Chris, where's Adam?
17:01Um, had to dash out.
17:03Anniversary present for his wife.
17:15Go on.
17:16We just had to tip off from immigration.
17:18The hitman. He's back in the UK.
17:20Just got off the Eurostyke.
17:21He could be back to try again.
17:23OK, well, let's be ready for him, then.
17:34OK, our hitman.
17:35He came out of Waterloo, took the tube to Shepherd's Bush,
17:38and he's just picked up a car that was parked on West 12th Back Street.
17:41He's heading into town, along the west wing.
17:43I've got a tail on him on the Marylebone Road.
17:45Deliberate decoy route.
17:46Yeah, must be.
17:47Hope he's paid his congestion charge.
17:49Ken Wilby cross.
17:53Oh, sorry, Ruth. That's mine.
17:55It's fine. Good. Of course it is.
18:03Stand by next car.
18:05Next car's ready for rotation in five minutes.
18:07Great.
18:12OK, stay with him.
18:14Affirmative.
18:18Where are you going?
18:29Looks like our hitman's arrived at his destination.
18:32Sam, message Danny and tell him I want him to get Haricat to a safe house
18:36and stay there.
18:38Thanks, Danny. I appreciate the help.
18:43So, where are we going?
18:45A safe house, where we can keep an eye on you.
18:48Will it be you?
18:49Some of the time. I'll be doing shifts, you know.
18:57So I go home, then.
18:59Yeah.
19:00I'll be waiting for you.
19:02OK.
19:07Truthfully?
19:09Danny, you work for British Intelligence.
19:12That's the last thing I expect.
19:14You sound like Zully now.
19:16What is it that is written at CIA headquarters?
19:20Isn't there a motto?
19:22You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
19:26So then, when do you set me free?
19:33So this isn't going to be over soon, is it?
19:37Would you do something for me?
19:39Sure.
19:40If I give you a list of books, could you please collect it from my shop?
19:44OK.
19:46And if you fancy something, you can have it.
19:49Thanks. I think there are probably rules about no freebies.
19:52There are about most things.
19:58Alyum took a securitous route round to East London via the city, checking no-one was on him.
20:02Any blips?
20:03None. We're putting surveillance and a technical team on his place.
20:06House Oxit would be perfect. Get whoever's in there out. Sharkish.
20:10Holiday in the sun competition usually works, sir.
20:12This will make Malcolm's day.
20:15What postcode are we talking about?
20:17E8.
20:19When will someone give me an NW3? It's so much more interesting.
20:24E8. Costa Blanca sounds right.
20:27Maybe Benidorm.
20:29Malcolm, has anybody ever told you you're a dreadful snob?
20:36Aren't I right in thinking, Mrs Barnes, that you bought some garden furniture with your Visa card in April?
20:48A bench, right.
20:50That purchase automatically entered you into our free draw.
20:54Well, I have some wonderful news.
20:56Get your suitcases and get packing.
21:07If you need me to get some more books, it can easily be arranged.
21:10No, I got what I need, thanks.
21:13But I'll tell you what I'm really itching to do.
21:17And that's to go outside.
21:19That, I'm afraid, isn't so easy to pull off.
21:23So they think I'm still under threat?
21:26Yeah, possibly.
21:29It's not my favourite feeling.
21:32You sound like you've experienced it before.
21:37Thanks.
21:54Still nothing?
21:56Nothing.
21:59Harry got nowhere with Oliver, mate.
22:02Sometimes this happens.
22:04Sometimes this happens.
22:06You get these lulls.
22:08It doesn't make it any easier.
22:12I mean, look at this. This is all the surveillance footage since he arrived.
22:16What's he waiting for?
22:24If there's anything more you need me to do, you just have to, you know, ask.
22:35Danny.
22:40I've got this for you.
22:46I'm sorry for what Suri said in that meeting, but he was certainly not speaking on my behalf.
22:51And gratitude is not one of his things.
22:54Clearly.
22:56Please open it.
22:58If you don't like it, you can give it back to me or just sell it.
23:021913 Wisden. I've never even seen a 1913. How did you know?
23:05I saw you notice them in my shop. And I knew that...
23:07You like cricket?
23:10I don't like it.
23:12I just love it.
23:15I used to play a lot in Islamabad.
23:18But I'm not in demand anymore.
23:20So I just watch it when I can and I collect the money.
23:24I don't like it.
23:25I used to play a lot in Islamabad.
23:27But I'm not in demand anymore.
23:29So I just watch it when I can and I collect Wisden's.
23:33I have the whole set. The only one I don't have is...
23:35The 1884.
23:36Exactly.
23:37The one that contains the obituary of John Wisden himself.
23:39Aristotle famously referred to as what of life and how of life.
23:43And I learned both these things while playing cricket.
23:50Thanks.
23:51You know, I've got a friend on the ground staff at Lords.
23:53Maybe I could organize a private tour for us one of these days.
23:55That would be wonderful.
24:00Is there something about you I should know?
24:06What all this history teaches me is that man learns nothing from his past.
24:12He just repeats it.
24:14Thank you.
24:21Thank you, sir.
24:32But where did it come from?
24:33It was delivered to Harry anonymously.
24:36Mohammed Kordad, leader of the Pakistani terrorist group The Path of Light.
24:40They were in Kashmir but have now extended their operations to include Southeast Asia.
24:45Certainly one of the most vicious and bloody groups we've dealt with.
24:48I think it was taken from an American spy plane.
24:50Probably a predator from about 25,000 feet somewhere over the Middle East.
24:53Apparently even from that height the cameras can read the letters on the side of a can of Coke.
24:57Colin, what is the point of it being able to do all this stuff if you can't see the results?
25:01We need to find out who Kordad's talking to.
25:03The American embassy has an immediate answer.
25:06We should go there.
25:11This software is state-of-the-art.
25:14It maps the contours of the skull and then creates an image of the face.
25:27Oliver Mason.
25:28With Mohammed Kordad.
25:29I doubt they're forming a book group, although it makes you never can tell.
25:32We've got to find out who they are.
25:34We've got to find out who they are.
25:36We've got to find out who they are.
25:38They're forming a book group, although it makes you never can tell.
25:40My guess is it's some sort of deal.
25:42How about two swallows, Harry?
25:44What are you talking about?
25:45Do you think two swallows could make a summer?
25:50Anything you can bring to the table would be more than welcome.
25:53Like what are they talking about?
25:58So they know about my little chat with Kordad.
26:01Any idea how they got hold of the picture?
26:04You're probably right.
26:06These days, most people's idea of a secret
26:08is something you're only allowed to tell one person at a time.
26:14I want to know who's talking.
26:16Tell Six to put a team of watchers on Harry Pierce's lot
26:19and keep me fully informed.
26:26The source behind the photo, she's willing to talk.
26:29The deep throat?
26:31That's not a term I care for much, but yes.
26:34You'll understand she's not someone I can be seen anywhere near,
26:37but here's when and where you can meet her.
26:39None of it's negotiable, I'm afraid.
26:41She's taking a tremendous risk in helping us.
26:44If she's identified or even suspected...
26:46Who is it?
26:47Let's just say she's a very senior government official.
26:50Don't let me down on this, Adam,
26:52because afterwards I think we should talk about the future.
26:55You and MI5.
27:05This is our chance to get a world exclusive
27:07on what went on between Mace and Cordad at the West Bank meeting
27:10and maybe even find out if there's a connection to Al Young.
27:13The contact who donated the photo has agreed to a rendezvous.
27:16They're the only person who knows what's being discussed
27:18and whether there's a link to our hitman Al Young
27:20and the events at the bookstore.
27:22No-one can know this person has spoken to me.
27:25They're taking a massive risk here.
27:27So if I'm followed, it's imperative that we know
27:29who it is that's following me and that we lose them.
27:31This means Category A counter-surveillance.
27:33I want you to run the route for me.
27:35If we get this right, we'll be able to nail this operation once and for all.
27:38Now, Danny, I know our hitman still hasn't moved so much as an inch, but...
27:41Understood. Haricap, CQP, the day shift.
27:43Yeah. Now, before we start,
27:45there's something about Tom I want to get straight.
27:50He was an outstanding case officer
27:52who, with all of you, established a great team,
27:55and this is no disservice to him because his record stands for itself,
27:58but I need you to forget about what's happened.
28:03I need you on my side.
28:09OK, before the bridge, the sign is where?
28:12The Festival Pier.
28:17Let's do it.
28:20BEEPING
28:32OK, now watch Adam carefully. He's one of the best.
28:35He made his name with this stuff in the Middle East.
28:37You get it wrong there and you spend the rest of your days
28:39hanging up on a meat hook somewhere up the Bequil Valley.
28:41Remember, at the moment, he's just Adam in a suit
28:44on his way to a business meeting in the city.
28:46He's not yet working in cover.
28:50BEEPING
28:55Are you OK, Mike?
28:57Good.
29:00Ready in position.
29:04In position now.
29:06Passing checkpoint one, Mr Oner.
29:14This footage is out of control.
29:16Logging all cars going through it five minutes before and five minutes after.
29:19OK.
29:21Blue Mondale, bridge number P506 LLN.
29:31The crossroads been started, telling him so far he's not been followed.
29:42We've got four hours left to keep him clear before the meeting.
29:47BEEPING
29:51So they're using Adam, are they?
29:54Oh, well, he is good.
29:56With luck, he'll take us straight to whoever's talking.
30:01Excellent.
30:04BEEPING
30:13Where now? What is that need to know?
30:16You'll just have to close your eyes and count to ten.
30:20BEEPING
30:32Right, ready to go to phase two.
30:34He's next, cut out.
30:39Adam Carter.
30:41Where are you off to?
30:46BEEPING
30:49BEEPING
31:10That's him.
31:12Oh, Adam, don't you have another hat?
31:15Now move in your watchers.
31:17Move five, move six,
31:20move seven, eight, nine.
31:31That's right, Adam, all the way home.
31:34Nothing, no matches.
31:36Right, at this point, there's either no-one following him
31:38or there's so many that they're not yet rotating.
31:40So we force the issue and we go to a choke point.
31:42He can take the Millennium Footbridge.
31:44Tell her.
31:56Move seven and eight.
31:58Absolutely.
32:00Absolutely.
32:11OK, it looks like he's clear.
32:13The other bridges, Sam, surrounding roads?
32:15Mm. There's a number plate match.
32:17Where?
32:20It might be nothing. Where did we first see it?
32:22On the embankment by the obelisk.
32:25Hmm, people like that don't travel in cars together.
32:27Get the teams on the ground to follow our two friends here.
32:29OK, now they must have a very big team
32:31if this is the first repeat that we've seen in two hours.
32:33It's got to be MI6.
32:35They're the only ones with this much manpower.
32:37Ruth, we've got to get a message to him.
32:39Tell him we think it's his old friends over at six doing the following.
32:41He probably trained those guys.
32:46OK, ready for phase three.
32:48His next cut-out.
33:25OK, we're beginning to run out of ideas here. They're all over us.
33:27Look, there's less than three hours. That's nothing.
33:29Shall we tell Adam to abort?
33:31No, it's today or we lose the source.
33:33Where's the next contact point?
33:35Last stop, Eva.
33:37It'll be the secretary.
33:39She'll have told him someone's on him.
33:46Now, are we missing anything?
33:51No.
33:53No.
33:55No.
33:57No.
33:59No.
34:01No.
34:03No.
34:05No.
34:27Wait, go back.
34:29Here.
34:35Oh, very good, Adam.
34:48He's heading down to the Jibalilo.
34:50Good.
34:53Move Aiden to position.
35:05Move Aiden to position.
35:20Keep them closed.
35:22There'll be complaints, you know, sir.
35:24Oh, you'll think of something. Tell them they were...
35:26I don't know, the wrong sort of doors?
35:28Due to an earlier incident inside the station,
35:30passengers will not be able to alight this train.
35:33We apologise for any inconvenience.
35:53Thank you.
36:00I'm sorry, we've lost him, sir.
36:03Damn you, Harry.
36:34What did you just put in the bin?
36:40A jammer.
36:44All the signals are jammed. He must have got there.
36:49Thanks, Sam.
37:03Let's go.
37:34So, what's the deal in the picture?
37:36Primarily, it's the result of pressure from the multinationals
37:39with mining interests in that country.
37:42The terrorist Kordad is a much-feared man.
37:45With him on their side, they'll get what they want.
37:47And what do we give Kordad in return?
37:49What's our part of the deal?
37:51Harakat.
37:53What do you mean?
37:55You don't know who he is.
37:57I don't know who he is.
37:59I don't know who he is.
38:01You don't know who he is.
38:07My friend left us these.
38:15Ayman Harakat has not always been a bookseller.
38:18He came to the UK about five years ago from Pakistan,
38:21where he worked for Kordad and the Path of Light
38:24as their top engineer.
38:27Until?
38:29Something happened. He got caught out. They turned him.
38:32It took a while for his conscience to kick in,
38:34but eventually he became a double agent for MI6.
38:38Anyhow, after a year of running him, it got too hot,
38:41so they exiled him and relocated him here.
38:44A few years later, and it's all changed.
38:47Our government, in its infinite wisdom,
38:50decides that it now needs the previously unspeakable Kordad,
38:54their new best friend, from terrorist to ally.
38:57The fact that Harakat knows the novelist Zuli
39:00makes it even more perfect.
39:02A meeting could be arranged, the hit could happen,
39:05and it could all be made to look like a botched attempt
39:08to kill the novelist.
39:10And after the hit failed?
39:12They went back to Kordad to try and get a new deal,
39:15but they didn't manage it.
39:17He simply threatened to go over to the French.
39:20They're going to try and hit Harakat again?
39:23As they see it, they've got no choice.
39:27Same gunman, Alyum?
39:29No. No, he's now the decoy. It'll be someone else.
39:32I don't know who and I don't know where, but it will be soon.
39:41The reason I'm here, the reason I passed on the photograph,
39:44is that I disapprove of what's going on.
39:47This is being done more for the corporations than for anyone else.
39:50Their hold over our foreign policy grows by the hour.
39:53It's not something I approve of.
40:11Tails?
40:13Tails?
40:15Hello, Phil.
40:21Zoe, I was right. Harakat is the target.
40:24Stay on the line. Malcolm, warn Danny. Harakat's the target.
40:28I'll check his itinerary.
40:30Alyum is a decoy. They're using another hitman.
40:35Danny, I have something very important to tell you.
40:41But after this, everything can wait for cricket.
40:51Listen, Adam, OK, there's a problem.
40:54Danny said he was going to the safe house, but it's locked in his itinerary.
40:57But they must still be there or his phone's off or something.
41:00Get somebody, a groundsman, anyone. I don't care.
41:08Picture the scene. The ground is full.
41:11You need four for your hundred and to win the test.
41:14Right arm over.
41:20OK.
41:22Can't get through to Danny or Lords.
41:25The lines are still down.
41:27God, better watch this. His phone's been jammed.
41:30We've got five units on their way.
41:51There's Adam.
42:03There's the car there.
42:09Danny!
42:20Danny!
42:50Danny!
43:21MUSIC PLAYS
43:40Do you think if Tom had been here, things would have been different?
43:44Harakam might still be...
43:46No.
43:48No, nobody could have foreseen this.
43:54You're probably right.
43:57You know what, Danny?
44:00Everything's going to be all right.
44:06Yeah, whatever happens, it'll still be you and me.
44:18Do you know how Harakat behaved when he worked for them?
44:21Before he got a conscience and came over to us.
44:23I was in Karachi at the time.
44:25And it wasn't a pleasant sight. Not much there was.
44:27We had taken on a responsibility to protect Harakat. We made a deal.
44:31If we so disapproved of him, then you shouldn't have been in business with him in the first place.
44:35The deal with him was superseded by another.
44:37We gave Kordard our word as well.
44:42Just wait and see.
44:44Who's to say that Harakat's life isn't worth all the lives that will be saved
44:48by befriending the new, improved Kordard?
44:57If you're asking me,
44:59is there, at present, anything we shouldn't do to achieve our ends,
45:04then frankly, I don't know.
45:06Post-9-11, we made a decision that nothing, nobody, was to be off-limits anymore.
45:12Look around at what's been happening since Iraq.
45:14We're up against it. We can't say any more,
45:17this we do not do.
45:21In the long term, it will be proved right as a strategy.
45:25Whose long term are we talking about?
45:27Before you get on your hobby horse, Harry, think about this.
45:30Do you think we did this alone, without help from Langley?
45:33And that justifies it.
45:35Part of the reason for all this trouble is that most Americans think anything east of the Hudson
45:39is like those blank spaces on medieval maps where they drew in a monster and wrote,
45:42''Here be dragons.''
45:44You seriously believe Kordard will stay with us, keep his promises?
45:48As I was leaving, we were getting reports of explosions in Peshawar.
45:51It looks like them, and this is with the ink barely dry on the deal.
45:54That could have been anybody.
45:57If you people continue like this, there isn't going to be any long term for any of us.
46:01Not that I can see.
46:04Oh, Harry, Six would quite like to get Adam Carter back.
46:08Isn't the loan period up?
46:10No. It's over when I say it is.
46:12Besides, I'm thinking of making it more permanent.
46:14They're right about one thing, though.
46:16He is rather good.
46:33Thanks for stopping the cheap for me.
46:38I want you to keep working with us, Adam.
46:40I'll try and make sure it's not too often against your old crowd.
46:43Yeah, well...
46:45You'd have thought there were enough enemies in the world without creating our own.
47:04There are two spooks hiding out in the woods.
47:06One MI5, one MI6.
47:08After a while, they realise they're being chased by a bear.
47:11So they start to run.
47:13After a bit, the MI5 guy stops, takes off his boots and puts on his running shoes.
47:17So the MI6 guy looks down and goes,
47:19What are you doing? What, you think you can outrun a bear?
47:21To which our guy replies, No, but I can outrun you.
47:24I told you I was no good at jokes.
47:27Now you're going to tell me that that story was true,
47:30Now you're going to tell me that that story was true,
47:33and that was you.
47:34It's the government's policy not to comment on intelligence issues.
47:37Oh, well, I wouldn't know about that, but, you know,
47:39you're with me now, and what happens elsewhere, at other times, is just that.
47:43Bear or no bear.
47:45I know that now.
47:46After today, I know that.
47:49When my love swears that she is made of truth,
47:52I do believe her, though I know she lies.
47:54Therefore I lie with her, and she with me.
47:57We are now false by lies we are flattered to be.
48:00Shakespeare's Sonnet 34.
48:02Oh, it's an MI5 favourite.
48:04Yeah, know all.
48:07You know what, Will?
48:09With you, I'll always tell you the truth.
48:11As long as you promise to always laugh in the right places.
48:27AVAILABLE NOW
