MI5. Spooks S03 E06 - Persephone
Transcript
00:00Slapped wrist, even if they do obtain a conviction. That's all she'll get.
00:04One of my best officers goes on trial tomorrow. I wish I had your certainty.
00:09Gordon's hardly known as a hanging judge.
00:11And he'll agree to all the public interest immunity certificates you want.
00:15This should still have been dealt with internally.
00:17In the past it would have been, but the climate has changed rather dramatically.
00:21We cannot be accused of any type of whitewash, however small.
00:24So this is an opportunity for the government to polish its tarnished liberal credentials?
00:28What a wonderful opportunity you've given us.
00:31Botched operation, a dead police officer, his camera-friendly widow,
00:35and a media that's scented blood from the start.
00:39A Brave Bobbies versus Shady Spooks.
00:41Who's cornered a thing we want to be seen in with an election on the horizon?
00:45Things have changed.
00:46Someone has to pay.
00:48Someone always has to pay, Harry.
00:50At least we've ensured that it's one officer and not the whole of MI5 who are picking up the bill.
00:55She's a fine officer, Patrick.
00:57That's why we're a new talking slap on the wrist.
00:59She may get off.
01:01Come round to the club later, I'll buy you a scotch, make amends.
01:03You think that's all she's worth to me?
01:06Bloody scotch.
01:13How was Lord Young?
01:14Exactly what you'd expect from a cross between a politician and a lawyer.
01:17There's a lot of anger about this, Harry.
01:19Danny?
01:20Everyone, but especially Danny.
01:22Keep an eye on him.
01:23Did you get the assurances you wanted?
01:25Whatever happens, Zoe will be protected.
01:27Good. You have it now.
01:30We couldn't have foreseen this, Adam.
01:37You called me.
01:39May I come in?
01:41Yeah.
01:46So?
01:51I don't know where to start, really.
01:52It started at the point when my idiot brother stole some photos from me
01:55and you decided it was all my fault.
01:57I told you how important trust is.
01:59Well, that works both ways, Zoe.
02:05Well, I'm glad we've sorted that out.
02:08Well...
02:11I'm in a lot of trouble at the moment.
02:15What sort of trouble?
02:17I can't tell you.
02:20But I've been very scared and lonely.
02:26What?
02:29You know when someone has caused you real pain
02:32and you think, what did I ever do to deserve this?
02:34So you lie awake at night, hating that person,
02:36and then you see them again and the first thing you want to do is put your arms around them.
02:42That's kind of humiliating, don't you think?
02:49So put your arms around me.
03:11I'd ask you what's going on, but I know you're not going to tell me.
03:13I can't. Please just trust me.
03:20Please, I'll contact you when it's all over, I will.
03:23Zoe...
03:25You don't ever have to be lonely, you know that, don't you?
03:28I'm so sorry for hurting you.
03:30You're right, I better not be serving you.
03:32I just... I didn't mean it.
03:34Come on, it's OK. It's all right.
03:37It's OK, it's going to be all right.
03:39It's all right.
03:41I promise.
03:44Yes, I'm here at the Central Criminal Court in the heart of the city
03:47because today is the first day in a trial of the MI5 officer,
03:51known only as Officer X.
03:53Now, reporting restrictions are severe.
03:55The judge, Sir Gordon Childs,
03:57has signed a raft of public immunity interest certificates.
04:00Joining me now is the widow of the murdered police officer, Hassan Doyen.
04:03Gillian Doyen, what are your thoughts about this case?
04:06I just want justice for myself and my children.
04:09And the sense that we live in a democracy
04:11where nobody, least of all a member of the security services, is above the law.
04:15What are your feelings about...
04:17Well, that's Gillian Doyen heading back into the Central Criminal Court
04:21for the start of this historic case.
04:23We will, of course, be bringing you continual updates
04:26throughout the day as the trial continues.
04:42All right?
04:47The Crown calls Mr Severlyn O'Zell.
04:50Thank you.
05:05All right, Mr O'Zell, you can understand English.
05:08All right, Mr O'Zell, you can understand English. That is correct?
05:11Sure.
05:13You are currently serving 17 life sentences,
05:15three of which are for the murders of the individuals who concern us today.
05:18That is correct? Yes.
05:20You have been offered no deals to testify today?
05:23No.
05:25Right. Do you know the woman in the dark?
05:28Yes.
05:30By what name do you know her?
05:32Sophie Newman.
05:34Where did you first meet Sophie Newman?
05:36I met her one night in a casino.
05:59David, three and five split, a grand on each.
06:02Three and five, a grand on each.
06:04Gentlemen at the end of the table, no more bets.
06:24Number five wins.
06:26Shall I solicit that?
06:34Thank you.
06:47You appear to be in luck tonight.
06:49It must be the presence of such a beautiful woman.
06:51I'm with Mahmood.
06:53With me?
06:55Can I buy you a drink?
06:57I don't accept drinks from strangers.
06:59Unless they just happen to have won a large sum of money at the roulette table.
07:04Is Mahmood your boyfriend?
07:06If he was, do you think he'd let you buy me a drink?
07:09He wouldn't be in a position to object.
07:14You know what? I don't like guns.
07:17I do.
07:19Well, why don't you buy your gun a drink?
07:21If you think that impresses me, you are very much mistaken.
07:34Ozan, let's take this girl away from here. What do you say?
08:05All right, guys. See you around.
08:11Why had you and your men visited the casino that night?
08:14I was celebrating because that afternoon I had sorted out some important business.
08:35What are you doing?
08:48Ozan!
08:50Ozan!
08:57Ozan!
08:59Ozan!
09:01Ozan!
09:03Ozan!
09:27So who was the man who stopped you from shooting the cafe owner?
09:30Well, we knew him as Zeki.
09:32In short, Zeki's real name was Hassan Doyan,
09:35and he was a police officer working undercover as part of an anti-drugs team.
09:38As usual, he was wearing a wire.
09:41Would it be fair to say that this undercover policeman saved the cafe owner's life,
09:45that you would have shot him otherwise?
09:48Yes.
09:50Okay. So after that, you called Sophie Newman again?
09:52Yes.
09:54Did you arrange to meet her?
09:56Yes. I took her shopping. Then we went to dinner a few times.
09:59What did she tell you about herself?
10:01She told me that her father was in the British army,
10:04that her mother was German.
10:06She said that her one aim in life was not to be bored.
10:10Did anything about her seem unusual or strange?
10:14Not really.
10:17One day, though, I found her alone in my office.
10:32What do you think you're doing?
10:34So, where do you hide them?
10:36Hide what?
10:38The wedding rings, the photographs.
10:40Is that what this is all about? Are you jealous?
10:43Not jealous, no.
10:45But if some hysterical wife's going to start running after me, I'd like to know about it.
10:48Why would she start running after you?
10:55No.
10:58No?
11:03She'd never be able to catch you.
11:07She's too fat.
11:17So, there is a wife.
11:19You know, you really shouldn't talk about her like that.
11:22Why? It's true.
11:28She's a good cook.
11:30She's too much of her own cooking.
11:33She's my wife.
11:35Still, a man should always respect his wife.
11:40This is...
11:41Sophie Newman.
11:43Sophie, this is my boss, Emily Chalink.
11:45I've heard about you.
11:47Really? From who?
11:49I was told you were beautiful, and they weren't exaggerating.
11:53It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Newman.
11:56And you.
11:57Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some urgent business to discuss with my colleague here.
12:00Of course.
12:03Maybe we can all meet for dinner later.
12:06We can discuss Germany.
12:08I understand you know our friend Mahmoud.
12:10Yes, sure. Call me later.
12:14That was the first time, to the best of your knowledge,
12:16that the woman you knew as Sophie Newman had ever met Emry Chalink.
12:20As we are moving on to a new area,
12:22I feel this might be a good time to adjourn for the day.
12:25Guys!
12:49You're one of them, aren't you?
12:52What?
12:53A spy. A spook. Whatever they call you.
12:56I've seen you in there.
12:58You are?
12:59You know who I am.
13:02I can't talk to you.
13:05You think you're all-powerful.
13:07You don't have to obey the same rules.
13:10If that were true, we wouldn't be here, would we?
13:12That's thanks to some dedicated policemen who don't creep around in the dark like you do.
13:16No wonder they call you spooks.
13:18We creep around in the dark, it's because we have to.
13:20Because there are people out there who also move in the dark.
13:23Look at that old man selling the newspaper.
13:26That woman, scratching her back while she talks.
13:29And a couple whose fingers are just touching are obviously having an affair.
13:33They know they should go to the gym, give up smoking, consolidate their debts.
13:37We do our best to protect them from people who would happily blow them to pieces.
13:42You can question our methods, we do that all the time.
13:46But don't question our motives.
13:51Don't talk to her again, Danny.
13:53What was your relationship with Emory Chalenc?
13:55He was my boss.
13:57Did you get on well with him? Prior to shooting him, of course.
14:00Thank you.
14:03He was my boss.
14:04Did you, Chalenc and Sophie, ever socialise together?
14:06Sure.
14:07He liked her.
14:09And did she appear to like him?
14:11She changed when he was around.
14:21No, no, thank you.
14:23And these are the forces that will dictate the shape of our century.
14:27Al-Qaeda, American oil companies, and the East European Mafia.
14:31Remind me never to have children, then.
14:33You shouldn't have children, anyway.
14:34Really? Why not?
14:36You were made for better things.
14:39So you know our friend Mahmoud from Germany?
14:42I work for an import-export company.
14:44I know.
14:45Ah, well, you'll also know, then, that our interests are closely linked.
14:49When I came to London, he offered to accompany me to a casino.
14:52I love gambling.
14:53You're in good company, then.
15:12I made Sophie a proposition.
15:15I'm going to Frankfurt on a business trip soon.
15:17I need someone with me who speaks German and knows the city.
15:20For how long?
15:22A weekend.
15:28How strange.
15:29One trip to the toilet and you suddenly lose your appetite.
15:36And did Sophie Newman go to Frankfurt with Emery Chalenc?
15:39No.
15:40And did Sophie Newman go to Frankfurt with Emery Chalenc?
15:43Yes, she did.
15:44And you were jealous, which was, of course, her intention.
15:47That's a leading question, my lord.
15:49The witness is not in a position to comment on my client's intentions.
15:52Rephrase the question, please.
15:54Yes, my lord.
15:55How did you feel about that?
15:57Bad.
15:58And when she returned from the weekend, did she call you straight away?
16:02No.
16:03So, what happened?
16:06I got drunk.
16:08I beat my wife.
16:10I was blinded by love and only God can forgive me my crimes.
16:15So, when did you next see Sophie Newman?
16:18You slept with him.
16:19And what did you expect?
16:21You let me go away with him and you knew how much he wanted me.
16:24He's my boss!
16:28I couldn't say no to him!
16:30Nor could I.
16:31You know, he's a very persuasive, powerful man.
16:34He's much more powerful than you.
16:37Huh!
16:42You know, killing me isn't going to help you.
16:44He's the one that laughs at you.
16:46Killing me is just going to make him laugh even more.
16:49He laughs at me?
16:50Yeah.
16:51As he undressed me.
16:54I'm going to kill him.
16:56I don't think you dare.
16:58No.
16:59No, I think he's more likely to have you killed.
17:02He thinks you're weak.
17:04He thinks you're weak.
17:06Weak?
17:07Yeah.
17:09Why don't you show me that you're not weak?
17:13Things could be very different.
17:16Why don't you show me that you care enough about me?
17:24You have to be crazy.
17:26You know what you have to do for us to be together.
17:34Come on.
17:56Right, for today, I don't appeal to you.
17:58Hussar!
17:59Today I don't appeal to you.
18:01Hussar!
18:02Sophie told me.
18:03You're the one who won, but she's going to be mine.
18:06Ozal.
18:07She told me everything.
18:10She told me to kill you.
18:12I just want to draw your attention to the phrase in the transcripts.
18:16Sophie told me what happened.
18:18She told me to kill you.
18:20Now, this is what Ozal has just said to Çelenk.
18:23And Çelenk's reply is...
18:25She told me.
18:26You're going to kill me.
18:28Tell Sophie that life is only a dream.
18:32Ozal.
18:34I'm an undercover police officer, OK?
18:36Don't. I'm married with two kids.
18:39You're going to kill me, Ozal.
18:41Ozal, please. I'm married with two children.
18:43Ozal, don't.
18:44Ozal, don't do it.
18:46Please, Ozal, please.
18:48Ozal.
18:51Ozal, don't do it.
18:52Don't do it, please.
18:54My children, please.
18:56Please.
19:03I have no further questions for this witness, ma'am.
19:09Well, there are those that said that our investigation would be blocked
19:12and that the security services are above the law.
19:14Now, I can't comment on the details of the trial,
19:16but the fact that this is taking place proves them comprehensively wrong.
19:19Now, what about allegations that Officer X is simply a scapegoat?
19:25What are you doing here, Harry?
19:27Came to see if you were OK.
19:29Grueling day.
19:31Yeah.
19:32Yeah, the tapes were bad.
19:34They support Ozal's testimony.
19:36Go and tidy your room, Denny.
19:39Right.
19:40Sure.
19:45Can I get you a drink or something?
19:47Preparing my character witness statement.
19:49I hope you're going to say nice things.
19:51Well, I won't tell them about the stapler you stole.
19:56The Attorney General has assured me that even if it comes to the worst,
19:59you'll get nothing more than a slapped wrist.
20:01Why are they letting this happen?
20:03Because they need to slap our wrists publicly.
20:05And there's some irritation at how we lost control of the operation.
20:14What is it?
20:16I need to be sure, Zoe, that you will not deviate from the story that's been agreed.
20:20I'll tell the truth under earth, you mean.
20:22Heaven forbid.
20:23This is very complex.
20:25Much more is at stake here.
20:27My career and my liberty.
20:29Yes.
20:32I'll stick to what we agreed.
20:34To tell the truth, but not...
20:36The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
20:39Truth is a highly elastic concept.
20:42No.
20:43We make it elastic.
20:45But don't worry, Harry.
20:47I understand the stakes.
20:52Try and get a good night's sleep.
20:54Harry.
20:58Everything's going to be okay, isn't it?
21:01Of course it will.
21:17I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give
21:20shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
21:25Okay.
21:26I'd like to start by asking you some questions about the build-up to Operation Aladdin.
21:30Right.
21:31When did you first find out about it?
21:33It was a Monday morning.
21:34Two of our officers arrived with a rather strange new toy.
21:40What's that for?
21:41Look.
21:42Now, give me a colour.
21:43Red.
21:44Odd or even?
21:45Odd.
21:48Cool.
21:49How does it work?
21:50Some things must remain forever among the connoisseur.
21:52What's it for?
21:53I believe all will be explained to you at this morning's meeting.
21:57These are victims of the recent feuding between two factions of the Turkish Mafia.
22:00One wing was more associated with the heroin trade.
22:02The other was involved in smuggling arms.
22:05It would appear that a decisive winner has now emerged from that battle.
22:10This is Emre Çelenk.
22:12Ruthless, brilliant, and highly educated.
22:14He's part of the victorious gun-running wing.
22:16What your stereotypical Turkish Mafia is he, then?
22:18Why are we interested in him?
22:19His victory means we can expect a dramatic increase
22:21in the number of guns getting into the country.
22:23And not just guns.
22:24He has close links to the Balkan arms route
22:26and the weaponry is getting more and more sophisticated.
22:28Some of that stuff could easily fall into terrorist hands.
22:31This is Sevelin Özel, one of Çelenk's lieutenants.
22:34And the weakest link?
22:35Correct.
22:36We think he's our best bet for someone we can both manipulate and eventually turn.
22:39Who are we going to get to do that, then?
22:42We're going to turn you into just the woman Özel will love.
22:44And through him, we get to Çelenk.
22:46Right, that's it.
22:47Zoe, let's go through a few more details about your legend, shall we?
22:53During the briefing of that Monday morning,
22:55was it ever suggested that one of the objectives of this operation
22:58was the assassination of Emre Çelenk?
23:01Definitely not.
23:02What about euphemisms?
23:03Remove him, cancel his contract?
23:06No euphemisms were used in the case of Emre Çelenk.
23:08And no such suggestion was ever made during the briefing.
23:12Right.
23:13Now, in his evidence,
23:14Mr Özel made reference to an individual named Mahmud.
23:17You arrived at the casino with him the first night you met Mr Özel.
23:20Can you tell us more about that?
23:24Zoe, this is Mahmud,
23:26an undercover officer with the BND in Germany.
23:28He's infiltrated the Turkish Mafia every day,
23:30but he's also known to Çelenk's crowd.
23:31He'll provide you with credentials.
23:32Nice to meet you.
23:33And you.
23:35I believe Malcolm's already shown you the magic roulette wheel.
23:37Yes.
23:38Okay, as though it were a piece of cake,
23:40I've shown you the magic roulette wheel.
23:41Yes.
23:42Okay, Özel goes to a casino,
23:43which is part of Çelenk's business empire.
23:45And let me guess, we let him win handsomely.
23:47Yes, and that's when you'll make your move.
23:49But we want to make him work hard for you.
23:50You're quite right, too.
23:51We're going to give you a nice new frock
23:52and some diamonds to wear as well.
23:53And the cherry on the cake
23:54is that at the end of the op,
23:55I get to keep them.
23:56I'm afraid this particular cake comes without a cherry.
24:05Okay, Sophie Newman.
24:07Let's have a look at you.
24:10That should do the trick.
24:11Now let's do the voice again.
24:12Think posh and cigarette husky.
24:15Come on, Zoe.
24:16It's an important part of your legend.
24:17You're Sophie Newman.
24:18You're clever, but easily bored.
24:20You're amoral and you want money and excitement.
24:23And what will you say when he wins?
24:29You appear to be in luck tonight.
24:30Yes.
24:32Nicely done, Zoe.
24:33Have you got a visual, Bravo 2?
24:35Affirmative, Alpha 1.
24:36He's talking to her now.
24:38Okay, Zoe, find a reason to blow him out.
24:42She's blown him out, Alpha 1.
24:43Great.
24:44Are you in position, Bravo 3?
24:48Affirmative, Alpha 1.
24:49Good.
24:50Leave him at the roulette wheel, then.
24:51Mahmood, you tell him that the lovely Sophie
24:52is slipping from his grasp and that she's leaving.
24:54Tell him she's already at the cloakroom.
24:57I love this job sometimes.
25:01But befriending Azal
25:02was really a means of getting closer to Emery Chalink.
25:05Yes.
25:06And you first met Chalink
25:08the day that Azal caught you in his office?
25:10Yes.
25:21You've got a problem, Alpha 1.
25:22The target is returning.
25:25I've got time to get out.
25:26Negative.
25:28Shall I request backup?
25:29No, let's not lose the hold.
25:36What do you think you're doing?
25:39So, where do you hide them?
25:41Hide what?
25:42The wedding rings, the photographs.
25:44Is that what this is all about?
25:45You're jealous?
25:46Not jealous, no.
25:48If some hysterical wife's going to start running after me,
25:50I'd like to know about it.
25:51Control, I'm worried about Persephone.
25:53She's in there with Azal,
25:54but Emery Chalink has just arrived with one of his heavies.
25:57I think I should go in.
25:59Control?
26:00She'll talk her way out of it.
26:01Give her a few minutes.
26:02She might be in danger.
26:03She is, but she's good.
26:04So she'll get out of it.
26:05Maybe we can all meet for dinner later.
26:08We can discuss Germany.
26:10I understand you know our friend Mahmoud.
26:11Yes, sure.
26:13Call me later.
26:20Sit down.
26:21How did you judge the relationship between Azal and Chalink?
26:24It became clear very quickly that Chalink utterly despised him,
26:26especially his drug use.
26:31What are you doing with him, Sophie?
26:33I like him.
26:34He amuses me.
26:35He amuses you?
26:37Then you're easily amused.
26:39Apart from gambling,
26:40you don't seem to share his other vices.
26:42I mean, you're not much of a drinker.
26:44Or drugs.
26:45Drugs are the most boring things in the world.
26:47And very dangerous to our work.
26:48And they make you loose-tongued.
26:51I may liberate you from Azal for a weekend soon.
26:53See if we can have a less boring time together.
26:57I don't do that.
26:59I'm not talking about one of your English dirty weekends.
27:02It's sickly business.
27:05I made Sophie a proposition.
27:07So, relations between Azal and Chalink were strained?
27:10In my opinion, yes. Yes, they were.
27:12Was Azal aware of this?
27:14Sometimes he became paranoid
27:15because he thought that Chalink might be trying to kill him.
27:17I just put that down to excessive cocaine use.
27:20What did MI5 hope to gain
27:22by you accompanying Chalink to Frankfurt?
27:24Intelligence on the Balkan gun-running trade
27:26and also a closer proximity to Chalink himself.
27:28Not to make Azal jealous?
27:30If that had been my aim,
27:31I wouldn't have had to go to Frankfurt.
27:33Quite.
27:35And tell us about the meeting with Severin Azal when you returned.
27:39That wasn't at all as he described it.
27:42We met and I tried to give him a present.
27:45But he began ranting again
27:47about how Chalink was trying to have him killed
27:49and then he stormed out.
27:51And the first you knew of the deaths in the warehouse?
27:54A colleague picked me up and told me that the operation was over.
27:57Obviously, we were distraught
28:00at the news of the death of the police officer
28:03on the undercover drugs operation.
28:06We had no idea of his existence.
28:09Thank you.
28:10No further questions, My Lord.
28:14I think we'll adjourn for lunch.
28:16All rise!
28:18You have denied that you and Mr Azal were lovers.
28:22I have.
28:24You have denied that you and Mr Azal were lovers.
28:27Did that never become an issue between you?
28:30No.
28:31So you were using the promise of sex to manipulate him.
28:34Is it common for you to use sex to manipulate people during an operation?
28:38No.
28:39But you're a very attractive woman.
28:41Perhaps you were recruited for that purpose?
28:43That was never mentioned at the interview.
28:45The expensive dress, the diamonds.
28:47What were they for?
28:48We wanted him to be attracted to me, of course.
28:50No one denied that.
28:52He was buying you gifts and taking you out,
28:54and yet he received nothing in return?
28:57Or was it your sparkling conversation that so entranced Mr Azal?
29:01You're totally missing the point.
29:03By denying Azal sex, he was easier to...
29:05Wind up?
29:06Manipulate?
29:08To control.
29:11It has been suggested by your defence
29:13that Mr Azal was very frightened of Emery Chilling.
29:15Yes.
29:16But that's not supported by any of the taped conversations
29:18between Hassan Doyan, the undercover policeman, and Mr Azal.
29:21Do you find that strange?
29:22It's macho culture.
29:23You don't confess fear to another man.
29:25And while we're on the subject of tapes,
29:27can we go back to the incident where Mr Azal caught you in his office?
29:30What were you doing?
29:32I was replacing a defective bug
29:34that had been providing us with a lot of useful secondary intelligence.
29:37Good! So when you returned from Frankfurt,
29:39the new bug was up and running?
29:41Yes.
29:42So where are the tapes for the period after you returned from Frankfurt?
29:46We've requested them but been told they don't exist.
29:49There could be any number of reasons for that.
29:51Things do sometimes go missing.
29:53Or perhaps you laid down another defective bug.
29:55Is MI5's equipment that unreliable?
29:58My Lord.
29:59I'll allow this.
30:00So the new bug just magically stopped working
30:03after you got back from Frankfurt, is that it?
30:05Obviously not.
30:06So where are MI5's records for what happened that day in Azal's office?
30:10We're a very large organisation.
30:12Records do sometimes go missing.
30:14Lucky for us, then, that the police aren't so careless with their evidence.
30:17Azal, she told me to kill you.
30:19Chalink, well, if she told you to kill me, then you must.
30:22How do you explain that?
30:23He was lying. I can't speculate as to why.
30:25You used Azal's sexual jealousy to turn him into your weapon, didn't you?
30:30No.
30:31And in doing so, you showed a cowardly disregard for human life.
30:34Azal was in such a rage that anybody with Chalink would have met the same fate.
30:38But you didn't care about that, did you?
30:40That's not true.
30:41I think your regard for the truth is on a par with your regard for human life.
30:44The goal of this shoddy, sordid operation was the death of M. Ray Chalink.
30:49That's the truth, isn't it?
30:51No.
30:57No further questions, ma'am.
30:59Nobody is seeking to deny Sebelin Azal's past.
31:02But he has been offered nothing to testify in this trial,
31:05and he has confessed to crimes for which he was not even...
31:08The choice before you is clear.
31:10Believe a murderous drug addict who descended into the cocaine-fuelled paranoia
31:14that his boss might have him killed.
31:16Or believe a brave officer who has frequently...
31:18It was his case.
31:19...punished by the police.
31:20It was his case.
31:21It was his case.
31:22It was his case.
31:23It was his case.
31:24It was his case.
31:25It was his case.
31:26It was his case.
31:27It was his case.
31:28It was his case.
31:29A life on the line.
31:30We must put aside all talk of fine lines and grey hair.
31:33Officer X, for whatever reason, tell Sebelin Azal to kill M. Ray Chalink.
31:39And did this result in the deaths of both Chalink and Azal?
31:43I don't expect you to reach a verdict today,
31:45and you will be sequestered at a hotel for the night.
31:48All rise!
31:59Zoe?
32:02Don't come near me, Danny.
32:04I've lost all regard for human life.
32:07You should get some sleep.
32:09I can't.
32:11Do you want something?
32:13Hot chocolate?
32:15Whiskey?
32:16No.
32:17Why don't you go back to bed?
32:19I'm dealt with scarier things than missing a night's sleep, Zoe.
32:23I'll stay up with you.
32:29The jury are attacking their minibars now.
32:31I'm getting ready for that big day tomorrow.
32:33Don't think about that.
32:35If I don't, I'll just think about the face of the policeman's widow.
32:44Tell me, Zoe.
32:46Tell you what?
32:48Tell me what really happened.
32:50I know what you're talking about.
32:51You do.
32:53I'll never repeat it to a living soul,
32:55but tell me what really happened.
32:58I'm the only person who can truly understand.
33:11If I tell you, Danny,
33:13you can never tell anybody else what you know.
33:16Harry and Adam must always think you believe the version I gave in court.
33:19All right? You have to swear to me.
33:21That's right.
33:28It began after the first briefing.
33:30It's a feud in between two factions.
33:32It's just a woman who has a horrible love.
33:34Through him, we get to Chalink.
33:37Right, that's it.
33:39Zoe, let's go through a few details about your legend, shall we?
33:42OK.
33:47No-one outside this room knows what we're about to tell you now.
33:50It has to stay that way.
33:52We believe M. Ray Chalink may have Al-Qaeda connections.
33:54What kind of connections?
33:56We're not sure.
33:58It may just provide him with contacts.
34:00We think he works in the financial side of things.
34:02Right. In what way?
34:04Al-Qaeda is also a business empire.
34:06There's a lot of money to be made working for them.
34:08The fact of the matter is, we just don't know.
34:10Chalink is an enigma, hence the need for you to get close to him.
34:13And the need for total secrecy about that.
34:15If we find out that he is providing services for Al-Qaeda,
34:18then we'll have to explore all our options regarding Mr Chalink.
34:21Including?
34:23All our options.
34:27So it was part of the brief to kill Chalink?
34:29Come on, Danny. You know how these things work.
34:31It was vaguely hinted at as being a long-term option.
34:33Yeah, OK.
34:35I mean, I couldn't talk about the Al-Qaeda thing in court.
34:37But it might have helped your case.
34:39There are other lives at stake here.
34:41I thought you had no regard for human life.
34:43That was why Harry came over the other night.
34:46To make sure I didn't say anything.
34:48So they wanted you to stay on Chalink with the option of killing him?
34:50Yeah. But first we needed to find out about him.
34:53That's why I went to Frankfurt.
34:57I'm sorry.
35:03Status report from Persephone to Control.
35:06Target observed him meeting two men that the Germans have verified as Saudis.
35:09Having dinner with them. We'll report back later.
35:18Well...
35:21Let's have a drink.
35:24Really? You're quite safe with me, I promised.
35:27You know I don't want to sleep with you.
35:29There are things I wish to discuss with you.
35:32I might like you to do some more work for me.
35:34Are you tired?
35:36No. I'd love another brandy.
35:38Good.
35:41Whiskey?
35:42Yeah. A great opportunity there.
35:44If he didn't want to sleep with you, what did he really want?
35:46Well, at the time, I thought it was what he said.
35:48To discuss work.
35:51American rubbish.
35:53You don't like Americans?
35:55I think no better or worse of them than of anybody else.
35:59I did enjoy watching the planes flying into the Twin Towers.
36:04Duh.
36:06It certainly made the pulse beat a little faster.
36:09The people jumping was awful, though.
36:14Can't you imagine the excitement of those young men who have taken over the planes?
36:18To do something so devastating, so spectacular.
36:23It almost sounds as though you support Al-Qaeda.
36:26No, I'm not interested in their ideology.
36:30They're a business, as well as a terrorist organisation.
36:36But they could do something here or back in London that would kill everyone.
36:39Why be so frightened of death, Sophie?
36:43A couple kissing down in the lobby.
36:45The boy who brought us the drinks.
36:47Who would really care if they all vanished tomorrow?
36:49Well, their families, the people that love them.
36:52Compare their trivial lives to those men
36:55who rushed to their deaths on that beautiful morning in New York.
37:00Is that what you enjoy, then?
37:02Death and destroying people?
37:04Enjoy? No, not really.
37:06But if you don't like death and destruction,
37:09I suggest you look away for the next 30 years.
37:12Because it's inevitable.
37:14And millions will perish.
37:17You know, you make money from people who deal in death and destruction.
37:21I'm not sure that I entirely approve of you.
37:25But there is a part of you that agrees with me, I'm sure.
37:28And what makes you think that?
37:30You're clever. You're a bit lonely.
37:33I imagine you've never been able to keep a lover.
37:36But you pretend that's through choice.
37:39One thing puzzles me, though.
37:41That lost child at the station.
37:44What about her?
37:46Mum! Mum!
37:49Mum!
37:51This is a security announcement.
37:53We would like to remind all passengers
37:55to keep your luggage with you at all times.
37:57Any unattended luggage will be removed.
38:00Thank you for your cooperation.
38:02All right. OK. Bye.
38:11I saw your face.
38:13It wasn't the Sophie Newman who screams at cloakroom attendance.
38:18How do you know about that?
38:22I've always had a soft spot for children.
38:25That other bitch happened to lose a particularly beautiful scarf of mine.
38:30Shall I have her killed?
38:32What?
38:33The girl in the cloakroom.
38:36Come on, Sophie.
38:38I thought it was your mission in life not to be bored.
38:41Let's see if she's working tonight.
38:44Let's just sit down.
38:47One call to the casino and one of my men
38:50can follow her to her house,
38:52kill her and everybody in it.
38:57Let's stop it.
38:58Come on, Sophie. You don't find this boring, do you?
39:01We can listen to her screaming.
39:04Ousmane.
39:06Good. She's working.
39:09So how much pain does she deserve for losing your beautiful scarf?
39:13Stop it.
39:20One person.
39:22A million people.
39:24You or me.
39:27It changes nothing in the end.
39:30Life is only a dream.
39:32And one day we all wake up from it.
39:35I'd like to believe that when people wake up,
39:37they'll see a kinder face than yours.
39:41Good night, Sophie.
39:50Under no circumstances.
39:51Just when we're making such a massive breakthrough.
39:53The trip was a huge success.
39:54He tore my legend to pieces. He's just playing with us.
39:57He would have killed you if that were the case.
39:59You know, I had to sit there and listen to him
40:01telling me how much he enjoyed watching the Twin Towers come down.
40:03Adam, this man disgusts me.
40:05Sadly, in this job, we don't get to deal with nice guys.
40:08I don't want to do this anymore.
40:12I am very uncomfortable that a man who thinks he can do business with Al-Qaeda
40:15is in his position.
40:16We can't take you off the mission, Zoe.
40:20And then?
40:21I went to his office.
40:23I removed the bug.
40:26And I told him about it.
40:28And I told him I'd slept with Chalink in Frankfurt.
40:31That must have driven him crazy after all his time pursuing you.
40:33Yeah.
40:34I didn't spare many details, either.
40:37So, you also asked him to...
40:43I told Ozal to kill Chalink, Danny.
40:46But you hadn't received specific instructions to do so.
40:48No.
40:49Harry was uncomfortable with Chalink heading the organisation.
40:52That's not a kill order.
40:53No.
40:54I just decided to interpret it as one.
40:56Why?
40:57Because I was frightened.
40:59For Sam?
41:00Sam.
41:01For myself.
41:02For the couple kissing in the hotel.
41:04For the kid who bought us our drinks.
41:06For anyone whose trivial life he deemed worthless.
41:08Danny, I couldn't see him as a potential asset
41:10or a source of intelligence any longer.
41:13Just as a man who could see no difference between one death and a million.
41:18We make difficult decisions, Zoe.
41:20And we deny the luxury of moral absolutes.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Yeah, but this time, Danny, I messed up a mission.
41:25I've exposed the service to this court farce.
41:28And I caused the death of two other men.
41:32You know, you have to live with the consequences of your choices, Danny.
41:37Do you think Chalink knew you were in MFF?
41:39I don't know.
41:42Sometimes I'd like to think he'd let me go from Frankfurt
41:45because he'd given some release from the nightmare he'd become.
41:49Thanks for telling me the truth.
41:55Whatever happens tomorrow,
41:57whatever the jury decides,
41:59I want you to know something.
42:01It's so good.
42:04I love you.
42:07I know.
42:09I love you too.
42:11I love you too.
42:13I love you too.
42:15I love you too.
42:17I know.
42:22I just want this to be over.
42:26You're exhausted. Come on.
42:29The whisky will help you sleep.
42:31Come on, lie down.
42:33There's only a few hours to the morning,
42:35and then I'll stay with you.
42:37I'm so tired, Danny.
42:41Don't go away.
42:43I won't.
42:47Come on.
42:53You know, we've done some brilliant things together.
42:56Yeah, we have.
42:58And I'm not going to sleep.
43:01Doesn't matter.
43:18This waiting is dreadful.
43:20No need for alarm. I've had assurances.
43:22Harry.
43:24The jury are coming back in.
43:32Will the defendant please stand?
43:37And will the foreman please stand?
43:39Will the defendant please stand?
43:44And will the foreman please stand?
43:49Have you reached verdicts on which you are all agreed?
43:52Yes, my lord.
43:54On the charge of involuntary manslaughter of Mehmet Salim,
43:57do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
44:00Guilty.
44:02On the charge of the involuntary manslaughter of Hassan Doyan,
44:05do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
44:08Guilty.
44:10And on the charge of conspiring to murder Emre Celenk,
44:14do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
44:17Guilty.
44:25The trial of Officer X reached a dramatic conclusion today
44:29as the judge handed down a ten-year prison sentence.
44:33Are you going to see the Attorney General?
44:35I certainly am.
44:36They've given us a political trial. Let's get political on them.
44:38My thoughts exactly.
44:40I'd better get back in and look after the team.
44:42Call me as soon as you need me.
44:43Thanks, Adam. I'm not letting them lock her up.
44:45A slapped wrist! A slapped wrist!
44:47Sentence was lenient given the charges.
44:49You implied there'd be no sentence.
44:51That was something over which I had no control.
44:53You've had control from the start. This was a show trial.
44:56To a degree, yes.
44:58We were showing that this is not a state where the rule of law counts for nothing
45:01and where a member of the security services can appoint themselves as an executioner.
45:05I hope you remember that pious bullshit
45:07the next time there's a terrorist outrage on these shores.
45:09I hope you remember that a democracy is not only protected with guns.
45:13Shall we reward the loyalty and bravery of one of my best officers with a prison cell?
45:16There's no option, Harry.
45:18There's always an option.
45:20Because let me tell you, a few reputations will go down with Zoe.
45:25We know where the bodies are buried. Remember.
45:31You're playing a very dangerous game here.
45:33Zoe appeared to have reached an on pass.
45:39Sit down.
45:50Harry!
45:53Right, right, I'm on it.
46:04Zoe's been sentenced. They're holding her.
46:06I need to know when they're moving her and where.
46:08It's Adam. No time for explanations. I need a young woman.
46:11No time for jokes, either. Here's the deal.
46:14She needs to be Zoe's height and build.
46:16What's going on?
46:17Come with us. I'll explain on the way.
46:19Do you not understand? No, Harry!
46:24OK, Danny, you've got to convince her now.
46:26It's up to you. What's happening with the stooge?
46:28Price of silence is that her 20-year sentence is over.
46:31Price of silence is that her 20-year sentence of drug smuggling
46:34goes down to Zoe's 10 in an open prison.
46:36Officer X was going to get a new identity anyway.
46:38Danny's got to convince her to do this.
46:43Gina Hamilton. It's a pretty name.
46:46Chile's a really beautiful country, but I won't do it.
46:50They ask a lot of you in this job.
46:52Now I'm supposed to convince you to go away and never see any of us again.
46:58Don't worry, you won't convince me.
47:00Prisons aren't good places, Zoe.
47:02And ten years is longer than it sounds.
47:04I'll leave my family, my friends, leave my job.
47:06There is no job any longer.
47:08And the gaps between visits will feel like forever.
47:17I said I'd contact Will.
47:19Is it fair to ask him to wait ten years?
47:21He'll think I've betrayed his trust.
47:23I'll call him. I'll make it all right.
47:27I, um... I can't do this.
47:29Think it.
47:31Take the passport.
47:35Danny, I'm willing to pay the price for what I've done.
47:38Think of the impact it'll have on everyone else.
47:40Are you still appealing to my sense of duty?
47:42Yes. Yes.
47:44Never went away.
47:47Look, take it.
47:49It's your freedom.
47:51And Harry had to threaten a coup to get it.
47:53Wait!
47:55One minute, please.
47:58Zoe.
48:04I'll know who I am and what I've done.
48:06Really?
48:08Because your name would not be Zoe Reynolds in prison.
48:11How do you like...
48:13RW936?
48:18God, it never stops.
48:21Look, what is your real identity, Zoe?
48:23I mean, who ever really knows that?
48:25Look, if it's anything,
48:27it's the impulse that led you to decide
48:29that ordinary lives weren't trivial
48:31and that you had a duty to protect them.
48:33The question is whether you're going to allow them
48:36to put that identity behind bars for ten years.
48:42Some...
48:44lucky person in Chile
48:46who doesn't know it yet
48:48is going to meet Gina Hamilton.
48:51Maybe you'll have kids.
48:55I'd like to have a baby one day.
48:57A little girl.
49:00Then get away from here.
49:26I'll never see you again.
49:31Maybe one day when nothing matters any more,
49:34I'll come out
49:36and we'll sit by the ocean and laugh always.
49:41Don't do anything.
49:43Don't do anything.
49:45Don't do anything.
49:47Don't do anything.
49:49Don't do anything.
49:51Don't do anything.
49:53Don't do anything.
49:56Don't cry.
49:59You have to go.
50:23Nanny?
50:32Go.
