00:00Urgent telephone call from Downing Street, Mr Mason.
00:03National emergency!
00:06National emergency!
00:08Mr Pearce, lay down.
00:10No, no, no. Just let me take this in.
00:12Tom Quinn shot the Chief of the Defence Staff,
00:15then shot Harry Pearce to escape.
00:18You know this is our time.
00:21We've got to get out of here.
00:23We've got to get out of here.
00:25We've got to get out of here.
00:28You know this is our chance.
00:30Then take it.
00:32I'm holding our ambulance to London.
00:35I am as near as I can get to the scene of the assassination
00:38of the Chief of the Defence Staff,
00:40Air Chief Marshal Sir John Snow.
00:42Do you want to pull over, Danny?
00:43It is complete pandemonium down here.
00:44I'm OK.
00:45There are police and emergency services everywhere.
00:47God, this is all going too fast.
00:48We have got to get back to London.
00:50I do have the Prime Minister's backing.
00:51I can rely on that absolutely.
00:53Absolutely.
00:55Right.
00:56I'm going to move very fast.
01:04...the shooting.
01:05He is described as white, tall, dark hair...
01:08They're describing Tom.
01:09...he is armed and dangerous...
01:11Anyway, Tom's dead.
01:12No, we don't know that!
01:15Stop the car, Danny!
01:21There's speculation that the suspect drowned on the Suffolk coast
01:24while trying to escape.
01:25Police have cordoned off all nearby beaches.
01:29Who's given you authority?
01:32Would you get your hands off my file?
01:37Ruth, you and Danny had better get back here.
01:39Hey, hey, hey!
01:40Special Branch plods are turning the place over.
01:42What? On whose authority?
01:44They say the Joint Intelligence Committee have launched an investigation.
01:47But can the JSC do that so fast?
01:49Ruth, tell Harry.
01:50You do realise you've just drowned, right?
01:53Hey, kids.
01:54Oh, no.
01:55What?
01:56The chairman of the JSC just walked in.
01:58Listen, Doghouse, now.
02:00Let my phone cause, please.
02:03Danny! Doghouse, we've got to go!
02:07I'm launching an investigation, sanctioned by Downing Street.
02:10So you're all suspended.
02:13This is going to be something of a bloodbath.
02:23Hey, hey, hey.
02:48Get in.
02:52Get in.
03:10Can I help you?
03:11I've come to see Mr Pearce.
03:14Sorry, no visitors today.
03:16This is ridiculous. He's my boss.
03:19I aim to finish the investigation at MI5 in the next few days.
03:24The whole culture at Thames House is rotten,
03:26so we are cleaning the stables.
03:31What about Harry Pearce?
03:35Harry will retire on medical grounds.
03:39The rest of his department will be dismissed,
03:41or, if evidence is there, prosecuted
03:45for helping the rogue officer amongst them.
03:48Excuse me, can I talk to you?
03:50Sorry?
03:51It's about Mr Pearce.
03:52They say he's a spy?
03:53He is.
03:54And the thing is, I work for him,
03:56and I'm in love with him, and they won't let me see him.
03:58Could you give him a note?
04:00I don't think so. I mean, I...
04:02Oh, write it.
04:08No, sorry.
04:09I'm having his child.
04:16OK.
04:18Thank you.
04:39Are you sure this is in the interests of national security?
04:45Absolutely.
04:47We cannot have another Tom Quinn.
04:51So, could I have a vote to authorise the investigation?
04:54Which is nearly over.
04:56Did the Prime Minister personally order this?
04:59He is fully informed.
05:00Not the same thing.
05:03Hugo, I know you're an old pal of Harry Pearce,
05:06so I take your judgement to be clouded.
05:09Clouded, am I?
05:11Anyone against?
05:18Then I proceed.
05:33So, did we all shake our tails?
05:34They have three on me.
05:35Had to do the taxi trick.
05:36I biked all over.
05:37So, the chairman of the JIC is stomping around Thames House
05:39looking through all our files down to old apple cores in our desks,
05:42and we've got to sneak off here just to talk?
05:44I mean, what the hell is going on?
05:46What is Oliver Mace doing?
05:47Maybe he thinks you all helped Tom.
05:49That's really stupid, Sam.
05:50Maybe not stupid, maybe that's what this is about.
05:52What do we know about Oliver Mace? Has he ever done any real spying?
05:55MI6 before he crossed over to chair the JIC.
05:57Reputation as a desk spook.
05:59Oh, no, the worst.
06:00I also heard he's got a hidden past as quiz master in Northern Ireland.
06:03I heard worse.
06:04He steps over the line.
06:05When he was in Kosovo, three serve agents died in detention.
06:08Now, he's a very dangerous man.
06:10He's also treating us like traitors,
06:12suspending us, having us followed.
06:13I smell the stench of deep politics.
06:15The question is, what do we do about him?
06:17Tail him. Get some dirt on him.
06:18He's untouchable. We'd never get near him.
06:20Then we'll take his big stick away.
06:21What do you mean?
06:22Prove Tom was innocent.
06:23Yeah, but he wasn't.
06:24I mean, God forgive me, but he wasn't.
06:25I mean, he's accused of murder, treason.
06:27He shot Harry trying to get away.
06:28We don't know why he shot Harry. Not really.
06:30I think we speak to Christine Dale. Maybe Tom talked to her.
06:32Hey, hey, can you spare some change for a cup of tea?
06:35Would you please go away?
06:36Can you give me some change for a cup of tea?
06:38Look, just...
06:39Go away.
06:40Sam, you've got a tracking device on you.
06:41Go and get it out now.
06:42And I bet there's one on your bike as well.
06:43Oh!
06:44Sorry, I'm sorry.
06:45Please stop it!
06:46Sam, Sam!
06:47You've got it!
06:48I've got it! I've got it!
06:51Go!
06:52Everyone move. Go!
06:54Go!
06:55Who the hell was that?
06:56Guardian angel.
07:01Bastard.
07:04Not here. Repeat, not here.
07:06Device now.
07:07Hey, hey, boys! Hey!
07:09Come on, come on.
07:21Can I help you?
07:22We want to see Christine Dale.
07:23She's not available at this time.
07:25And you are?
07:27Friend of the family.
07:32CIA.
07:34Top vintage.
07:35Why are they leaning on her?
07:36Well, she slept with our traitor.
07:38Don't call Tom that. God, I can't bear it.
07:41Oliver Mace wants to see me.
07:46Once more, have you seen Tom Quinn?
07:48Again and again, I'm loyal to the United States of America,
07:51so no, I did not help Tom Quinn.
07:54No.
07:56No.
07:57No, no, no.
07:59No, I didn't!
08:01I never helped Tom Quinn!
08:03So why does your computer reveal so many visits
08:06to sites selling illegal firearms?
08:08Monitoring those sites is part of my job.
08:10Some personal pornographic interest?
08:13No.
08:14Shall I tell you what I think, Miss Reynolds?
08:15What?
08:18You procured this gun for Tom Quinn.
08:20How dare you accuse me?
08:21A little career advice.
08:23Let the waters close over your time in the service.
08:27OK, that's it.
08:28What's behind this investigation?
08:29Just what is the chair of the JIC doing down here,
08:32getting his hands dirty with the likes of us?
08:34What are you doing?
08:35Well, this is jolly.
08:37Mr Hunter, I'm minded to have you arrested.
08:40For what?
08:41For the Official Secrets Act as a whole supermarket of offences.
08:45You have got some kind of hidden agenda here.
08:47If there is to be an agenda, it will be mine.
08:50Oliver, we speak now.
08:52Or must I embarrass you before junior personnel?
08:58The JIC will be recalled so that I can defend this department.
09:01There's a serious threat to national security here.
09:03I can't keep to the niceties.
09:04I like the niceties. They protect us from tyranny.
09:07The moral high ground is a bit of a sandbank for you, Harry.
09:10The tide is coming in.
09:12This department is still independent.
09:14This department is rotten to the core.
09:16If you want to prove that, you'll have to do it by the book.
09:21The JIC will meet again first thing in the morning.
09:24I'll see you there, Oliver.
09:27Hope you're feeling up to it.
09:45What's going on, Harry?
09:46Yes, at the station there was this trap...
09:48Harry.
09:49Yes, Ruth.
09:50Adam, come most presently upon your hour.
09:54Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to your vagrant.
09:57All right. How are you doing?
09:59This is Adam Carter.
10:00I've bulldozed a few rules and seconded Adam from six to help us sort out this mess.
10:04Yeah, well, we've got one hell of a situation here,
10:08but there's a neat way to get the gremlins off our backs.
10:11Oh, yeah? What's that?
10:13We've proved Tom Quinn was innocent. Yes!
10:15I'm sorry about this, but it looks like we're in for an all-nighter.
10:18We're going to need a heap of sandwiches, coffee, tea.
10:20I'll get that. I mean, I don't have to.
10:22I don't get the tea, usually.
10:24Thanks, Sam. Not still bugged, are you?
10:26What? Oh, no.
10:29He wasn't innocent, though, was he?
10:31Sorry.
10:32Until we really know, let's assume that Tom was the man you knew.
10:42We're going round and round in circles. He shot Harry.
10:45Yeah, but he was facing arrest for treason with zero chance of proving his innocence.
10:49He had to escape.
10:50I mean, if it had been me, I'd have pulled the trigger.
10:55What about you, Harry? If you'd been in Tom's position, would you have shot you?
11:02I don't want him to be guilty.
11:05Right, let's take a break.
11:10Adam.
11:12Er, do you have any, you know, er, plan?
11:17No.
11:19No, not really.
11:21Right.
11:23I did something once. When I was stationed in Damascus,
11:26I made up a story to discredit a high-ranking intelligence officer in the Syrian Secret Service.
11:32The guy was a torturer, a real pig.
11:35He was about to find out that his wife was an agent I was running.
11:39I had to stop him.
11:41So I put it about that the, er, pig was not a pig,
11:45but a mole working for the Israeli Secret Service.
11:49And do you know what?
11:51It turned out to be true.
11:54What happened?
11:55Well, the Syrians hanged him.
11:57The Israelis weren't apes, of course.
11:59What about the agent?
12:01I married her.
12:04Right.
12:05You'll meet her. She's gorgeous.
12:08Don't plan too much, Danny.
12:10Let things just crinkle out.
12:15I shouldn't be talking to you.
12:19Are the spooks too spooked to talk to each other?
12:23Strange days, Harry.
12:27You sure you want to be out of hospital?
12:29Do shut up, Hugo, and just tell me what's going on.
12:32There's a conspiracy in the darker corners of government.
12:36Oh, my prophetic soul.
12:38They want to establish a unified system.
12:41Oh, my prophetic soul.
12:43They want to establish a unified, single-track intelligence.
12:47In a melded command structure.
12:50That's Whitehall Street for taking political control of the intelligence services.
12:54They want to run you, me, MI6 from Downing Street,
12:57and the political head sitting in cabinet.
12:59I've seen this coming.
13:00The nightmare of a Ministry of State Security.
13:03Our very own KGB.
13:05They also want to give members of the security services the power to arrest people.
13:09Why all this now?
13:11They fear what's coming in the Gulf.
13:13Al-Qaeda's final push to take over Saudi Arabia.
13:16And we all know what that means.
13:18Terrible onslaught of terrorism in the West.
13:21And to counter it, they want a secret service that does exactly what the government wants.
13:26And gives the public positive intelligence.
13:29Even if there isn't any.
13:32Does the Prime Minister know about this?
13:34PM.
13:37Bend his ear to anyone who whispers modernisation.
13:40What are we going to do?
13:42We?
13:44I'm sorry, Harry.
13:46I'm going to let go.
13:47Take retirement.
13:49Cottage near Newmarket.
13:50Sip a malt on a frosty morning.
13:52Watching the horses on the gallops.
13:54Let them have their new world order.
13:57I can't do that, Hugo.
13:58You'll not stop these people, Harry.
14:00You're not crucified, are you?
14:01Crucifixion it is, then.
14:07PHONE RINGS
14:12Harry.
14:14Tom.
14:16You all right?
14:18Well, you perforated my shoulder and damn near got my lung.
14:21Apart from that, things are just hunky-dory.
14:24Couldn't let you bring me in.
14:26Meet me.
14:28No, I can't.
14:29Why not?
14:30Because I don't think you believe me, Harry.
14:32I don't think you trust me.
14:33Now, why would that be?
14:34Would it be anything to do with the memory of you holding a shotgun in my face?
14:37I'm innocent, Harry. I didn't assassinate Sir John Stone.
14:40Well, you'd just better be innocent, for all our sakes.
14:42What do you mean, for all our sakes?
14:43There are conspirators.
14:45And your treachery is the perfect excuse they have for destroying the services we know it.
14:51Tom?
14:55I'll get you proof.
14:56How?
14:57I've got a way.
14:58You are a dead man in the North Sea, and you will remain so until you prove otherwise.
15:04Okay.
15:34Tom?
16:05My Lady of the Sorrows, forgive me for what I have done.
16:10But my daughter loved you.
16:13A man destroyed her.
16:15Now I have destroyed him.
16:18Do you understand?
16:30Joyce!
16:34Joyce!
17:04Hey, Tom.
17:08Nice moves.
17:09Shut up.
17:11Bright fellow, knowing I'd come here.
17:16So, what are you going to do?
17:20Take me in?
17:21Yeah, that's the idea.
17:23You remember my CV, who I am?
17:26I spent a year in Lubyanka, a prisoner of the KGB.
17:31The English gents in MI5 are going to get me to confess with a few sleepless nights and psychological games.
17:39Hell, they'd have to burn my genitals off with red-hot metal.
17:44And even then, I probably won't tell them how I set you up.
17:50Get up.
17:51Get up!
17:52No.
17:55I won't let you win.
17:57And I won't let you destroy me.
17:59Look at yourself.
18:02Get up, or I'll kill you, so help me God.
18:04God won't help you, Tom Quinn.
18:07Whatever you do...
18:09He'll want to send you straight on to hell.
18:11Well, why don't you tell me what it's like?
18:13Aren't you there already?
18:14Hated by old friends?
18:16Hunted by your country?
18:18When they pick you up, what will they give you?
18:20Thirty years?
18:21You're going to do exactly what I say.
18:24No.
18:25No.
18:26No.
18:28Now my daughter's lying in an asylum with her mind gone forever.
18:35I want you to go mad too, Tom.
18:59No.
19:25It can't be.
19:27Danny, it can't be.
19:28It is.
19:29Herman Joyce.
19:30The man Tom said set him up.
19:32He was meant to have died five years ago.
19:34More like five minutes ago.
19:36This is the reason that nobody believed Tom.
19:39Bit of a turnaround.
19:40Is this the calling card?
19:42For my drowned man?
19:45Take him down to the medical room.
19:47I'll ring the D.C. doctor.
19:48Yes, sir.
19:51The funeral of Herman Joyce, hero of the C.I.A.
19:55Killed in a car crash, 17th of August, 1999.
19:59Official video from the Library of Congress.
20:02I wish Tom was still here.
20:04Well, he's not.
20:06Oh, well.
20:07Does the widow survive the car crash?
20:10I'll do that.
20:12Carmen Joyce.
20:14Ex-C.I.A. field operative mourning for her husband.
20:18Honey, it's not Herman in the coffin, is it?
20:20One hell of a thing to fix.
20:21Fake car crash, another body,
20:23tricking the C.I.A. into a hero's funeral.
20:25The wife must have been in on it all the way.
20:27She worked with him in the Lebanon.
20:28They were notorious.
20:29Spy royalty.
20:30They were ruthless together.
20:31They must have hunted together,
20:33and they planned everything that happened to Tom together.
20:36Harry, Oliver Mace is on his way up.
20:40A fearsome hour to be awake, Harry.
20:43Until this is resolved, no one sleeps.
20:45Except the dead.
20:47We are now in an entirely different kind of situation.
20:50Quinn could have been working with Joyce anyway.
20:52You would have needed a confession.
20:53In its absence, this investigation continues.
20:55The body proves we had a...
20:57It proves nothing!
20:58You are not acting in the interests of this service.
21:00In this matter, I am the interest of this service!
21:02You want to reduce five to some kind of firm of decorators,
21:05only to be wheeled out when you want a whitewash.
21:10You're on very dangerous ground, Harry.
21:16What's Adam Carter doing here?
21:17I've drafted him in.
21:18Carter's a loose cannon.
21:19You know his reputation.
21:20Brilliant.
21:21Carter won't help you stop the change
21:23that's coming to this building.
21:24I'm going to remove any cause for you to wreck this service.
21:27I'm going to prove Tom Quinn innocent.
21:32This is too big a game for you to win, Harry.
21:35We shall see.
21:46A bit of privacy done.
21:48Please.
21:52Do we really have to meet like this, Oliver?
21:54We are taking on spies.
21:56Old school boys putting bugs in people's trousers.
21:59Dinosaurs.
22:01All right, you wanted this. What's so urgent?
22:04Herman Joyce's body was delivered to Thames House at midnight.
22:07What?
22:08I'm not going to tell you.
22:09I'm not going to tell you.
22:10I'm not going to tell you.
22:11I'm not going to tell you.
22:12Herman Joyce's body was delivered to Thames House at midnight.
22:15There's no doubt it's the man Tom Quinn claimed set him up.
22:18No doubt.
22:20It raises the possibility that Tom Quinn was innocent.
22:25Have they had evidence? A confession? A tape?
22:28No.
22:29But the truth...
22:30The truth is the intelligence services in this country
22:33are not giving the government what it wants.
22:35Clear, unambiguous statements.
22:37Raw intelligence is murky, never clear.
22:39It's time to dump the old-fashioned spy.
22:41The government needs a secret service
22:43which will tell them and the public who the enemies of the state are.
22:46And may arrest them at will.
22:48Can we rely on you, Oliver?
22:51Or have you still got some of that old fuddy-duddy thinking in you?
22:54Your mind gone soft driving around in cars like this?
22:58No, no, I'm fine. I'll press on with the investigation.
23:01Do that.
23:03It's your head on the block over this.
23:05There are no phone records, emails back to us.
23:09I'm quite good at the spy game, too.
23:13I think I'll call in a favour with the CIA.
23:17Get them to let me talk to their bad girl.
23:21If Joyce was alive,
23:23that would mean that Tom...
23:26Tom was telling the truth. Oh, dear God.
23:29Tom is a traitor.
23:31We must know what he and his friends are up to.
23:34He won't meet me.
23:39Christine, meet me at lunchtime tomorrow at the old place.
23:43Please. For me.
23:51I won't meet him! I won't!
23:57You will.
23:59Or I will give your masters a very hostile report.
24:02You'll be interrogated for months.
24:04Drinking out of a toilet bowl in a CIA facility.
24:07Standing up all night in a freezing cell.
24:14Mm-hm.
24:28You know my reputation, don't you?
24:32You know my reputation, don't you, Christine?
24:37I don't let people not do what I want them to do.
24:46So choose.
24:48They say that in American prisons,
24:51traitors have a worse time than paedophiles.
25:02Sorry.
25:17Oh, stop!
25:19Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
25:22You're not going to get away with this, are you?
25:25You're not going to get away with this, are you?
25:28Sorry.
25:30You're really stinking me.
25:32Oh, I know. It's the spell of the outsider.
25:42How could you do this to us, Tom?
25:47Oh, shit!
25:58Tom?
26:00You're not dead, are you?
26:02No, I'm not dead.
26:04I feel pretty dead inside, but we don't want to go there.
26:07Do you have any idea what we've been through because of you?
26:10Danny, I'm drained. You want to fight me, you'll win.
26:13Danny, just... OK.
26:15OK.
26:22Do you want a shower?
26:24No. No, I need the dirt.
26:26It's amazing living rough. There's a market economy even down there.
26:30Clothes are all.
26:32You steal a few and trade your way up.
26:34I am King Beggar.
26:36What happened to Herman Joyce?
26:40Well, you see, no matter how brilliant Joyce was,
26:43he had to have a fatal flaw, and it hit me.
26:45What was Herman Joyce's greatest virtue? Family love for his daughter.
26:48Lisa was a devout Catholic. She had a favourite church.
26:51So I staked it out.
26:53I staked my life on her father making one last sentimental journey
26:57before he disappeared again into his faked grave.
27:00And he did.
27:02Did you kill him, Tom?
27:04Well, we'd never get a confession out of him, just more lies.
27:07So the body was the best you could do?
27:09Sort of, yeah. Grotesque.
27:11And it wasn't enough, either.
27:13While you've been out playing King of the Beggars, Oliver Macy's been all over us.
27:17He wants to sack us and wreck the service.
27:19And you are the ammunition. The body hasn't stopped this.
27:22You've got to have 100% proof that you're innocent.
27:29Who else knows about Joyce's death? I mean, his real death?
27:32No-one. Five are holding the body at the mortuary in Croydon.
27:35So nobody's told her. Who?
27:37His wife.
27:39Joyce's phone.
27:41They text each other.
27:47I've analysed the circuits in Joyce's phone.
27:49She had a coding device for sending texts. Very natty.
27:52What did they send? Well, there's a lot of sex. Sorry.
27:55We used the mobile to text the wife. A message that seems to have come from Joyce.
27:58Something to get her to come to London at once.
28:00And then what? We pick her up? Yep.
28:02We squeeze the whole story out of her, the whole plot against Tom.
28:04On the record, cut and dried, wham, bam, thank you very much.
28:07So we lure a United States citizen to this country and force a confession out of her.
28:11That is a totally illegal, madcap scheme.
28:13I like it. Great idea, Adam.
28:15It's not mine. It's Tom's.
28:17She's at the airport. She's ex-CIA. She'll spot a tail.
28:19So we go to the movies.
28:21You CCTV all the way. Wait till she gets to the hotel, then lift her.
28:24Will she come? I've got a feeling Carmen Joyce is like her old man.
28:27In what way? She's addicted to danger.
28:41Hey.
28:48You're always lunch in our square. Prawn and wheat germ salad.
28:52Just because you know what someone eats doesn't mean you know them.
28:55You're being tailed.
28:59You've taken the minders off me. I've been reinstated.
29:02I'm free. Free of what?
29:06What do you want, Tom? I was set up.
29:10And I'm on my way to proving it.
29:12I was set up.
29:15And I'm on my way to proving it.
29:17Great.
29:19So you think you can just reappear in my life?
29:22Oh, my life. Your life.
29:26Maybe there's a lottery committee somewhere underground
29:28throwing dice, deciding who we're going to be day by day.
29:31Spy. Tramp.
29:33Traitor. Hero.
29:36How about this for 14 million to one?
29:38Dead man died yesterday.
29:41Five have the body.
29:43Herman Joyce.
29:45You know? Someone told me.
29:47Who, the CIA?
29:49Yeah.
29:53Do you know if you've told his wife?
29:55That's what you want from me, is it?
29:57Yeah, that and... That and what? To make up?
30:04I need to know about Herman Joyce.
30:10Why?
30:11Five are planning to get her to London and lift her.
30:13When?
30:14She's already left.
30:15This will only work if she thinks Herman Joyce is still alive.
30:19I'll see what I can find out.
30:21OK. Contact Daniel Zevi.
30:23And once you get her to London, where are they planning to lift her?
30:26I need some details to help you.
30:31Are you all right?
30:35What? Wearing a wire?
30:37You're losing it, Tom.
30:40What?
30:45Portman Hotel, Westminster.
30:54Yeah, we can get through this, Christine.
30:57We can be together again.
31:01If that's what you want.
31:06And you wash.
31:07Yeah.
31:08Against money religion.
31:12Hey, I love you.
31:32Oh, I love you too, Tom Quinn.
31:39Yeah.
31:52Now, she arrived at Gatwick on schedule, then disappeared for a while.
31:55She did the monorail from the North Terminal,
31:57she did the classic Q-turn and went for the Gatwick Express,
32:00but we had it covered.
32:01The last one on. CCTV.
32:03Wherever they go, wherever they are.
32:05She's got a cab. She should be here in a couple of minutes.
32:08OK. She's coming here.
32:10Let's go get her.
32:21So the plan is...
32:22She takes him to her room and I pay her a visit.
32:28She's getting out of the cab early in Parliament Square.
32:31She should be about 100 yards from the hotel.
32:35OK.
32:46I have a reservation in the name of Hall.
32:48The mark is in. Repeat, the mark is in.
32:52Yeah, we see her.
33:00Alpha 1.
33:01Alpha 1, there are goons everywhere. I repeat, goons everywhere.
33:05Oh, shit.
33:07Looks like they're moving in on her.
33:10I bet you they're one of her mates's men.
33:12The bastard's trying to snatch her so we can't question her.
33:15We mustn't let them lift her. We've got to distract them.
33:18Zoe, flirt, now.
33:21Hey, Dennis!
33:22Sorry?
33:23That's Louise.
33:30Don't I know you?
33:31I know you. I met you at the...
33:34I met you at the...
33:36What are you up to?
33:37I can do anything.
33:38You do, don't you, with anyone?
33:42I don't know you anymore, you bastard!
33:52She's out the front entrance. Someone track her!
33:57She's gone.
34:01Gone away?
34:04Wait.
34:20Harry, you ordered Special Branch to interfere with an operation being run by my officers.
34:25The woman is to be delivered to Immigration at once.
34:27Oh, dear, we've lost her, whoops.
34:29She just texted Joyce's mobile. I decoded it.
34:32What does it say?
34:33Meet at the safehouse.
34:34They've got a safehouse all of their own? Where?
34:36She's in one of our cabs.
34:37What cabs?
34:39We had a spook taxi outside the hotel. Come and hide it.
34:43Spook taxi?
34:44I've been recruiting taxi drivers. It's cheaper than having our own cars.
34:48Should I have cleared that with...
34:50No, no, initiative.
34:51The driver texted me they're on their way to something called the New Concord in Peckham.
34:55This could be a hornet's nest. Fall back up, now.
35:02What are you doing? Text him, Tom.
35:04Don't send that. I don't want him here.
35:10Oh, dear.
35:11What?
35:12It went when we bumped.
35:32Oh, dear.
36:03What are you doing?
36:06There's an emergency situation.
36:11Don't worry. It'll be fine. Just go with us.
36:24Walls are all crumbling.
36:26Victorian.
36:27What the hell?
36:28Joyce chose it. Perfect cover.
36:33MUSIC PLAYS
36:38Great. Right room.
36:50Blue reader. This is Red 4. Visual denied.
36:55Great.
36:57What's she doing?
37:01What?
37:04Oh, I'm sending in special forces.
37:06If we have a shoot-out, we could lose her. Let me go in. Alone.
37:13It's Tom.
37:14Buzzy.
37:20Hurry.
37:22Harry.
37:23Face to face. Certain of the situation, are you?
37:26Yeah, I hope so.
37:28Adam Carter. I've been brought in as a kind of fire engine round here.
37:32Right.
37:34Carmen's going to run.
37:35We're going to snatch her.
37:36My guess is she won't be taken. She's looking at the rest of her life in an American jail.
37:39Let me go in. Let me talk to her.
37:40She's armed. We can't expose you.
37:42Harry, wheel's turning.
37:43Wheel?
37:44Lottery wheel. This is our chance. We need her story to clear me.
37:47I should do it.
37:48Who the hell do you think you are?
37:49Actually, mate, I'm an officer who didn't get suckered by an American con artist.
37:53Right, that's it.
38:05This has to be down to me.
38:06She'll kill him.
38:07I'll go with the legend.
38:08You know she'd spot you in seconds.
38:09You'd be dead.
38:10Harry, it's my right to do this.
38:11Too involved, mate. You'll blow it.
38:12All right, Adam, it's you.
38:13Come on, Harry. Come on.
38:14I've given an order.
38:15I'm not going to let you go.
38:16Come on, Harry. Come on.
38:17I've given an order.
38:18I'm going in.
38:19You are not.
38:23You've got my life.
38:26It's not about your life, is it?
38:32Don't worry.
38:47What's happened?
38:48Music's stopped.
38:49Colin, get that music back on now.
38:51XO2, there was music on. Reinstate it once.
39:08Mrs Joyce?
39:10Your husband sent me.
39:11Who are you?
39:12My name's Ted Jones.
39:13I'm a lawyer.
39:14Who are you?
39:15My name's Ted Baxter.
39:17Landlord.
39:33Come in.
39:35Hi, I...
39:36Shut up.
39:39It's a bit unnecessary. I'm just a messenger boy.
39:41No, you're not.
39:42I recognise you.
39:43You were in the hotel,
39:44bawling out your girlfriend.
39:47All right, but I do have a message.
39:48Then deliver it.
39:50Your husband's dead.
39:54What the hell does he think he's doing?
39:56I don't know.
39:57I don't know.
39:58I don't know.
39:59I don't know.
40:00I don't know.
40:01I don't know.
40:02I don't know.
40:03What do you think he's doing?
40:04This is Blue Reader.
40:05Standby special forces.
40:06No, no, no, no, wait. It's good.
40:07That's what I've said to him.
40:08You know what I am, don't you?
40:11Yes.
40:12Well, I think you'd better review your options, don't you?
40:16OK.
40:19Get up.
40:29Sit on your hands.
40:34OK.
40:41You're all over the place, I suppose.
40:43Oh, yeah.
40:44This room's...
40:47Well, it's the last bit of freedom you're ever going to have.
40:49Last bit of freedom you'll have to.
40:51Maybe.
40:54How did Herman die?
40:55He was spotted coming out of a church in the city.
40:58It was a shootout.
40:59What?
41:00Dad's a liar.
41:01Did he take many of you with him?
41:02He killed three, four, five.
41:06Good for Herman.
41:10Now there's nothing left to do.
41:16Achieved a lot, though.
41:19Setting up Tom was a great scam.
41:22More.
41:24It had elegance.
41:26You're getting worse, Danny.
41:27Don't worry. It's running to two tapes and a digidisc.
41:30Are we bugged?
41:31Of course.
41:32And you're asking me to confess?
41:34Yeah.
41:39Praise her.
41:40It was a masterpiece.
41:42How long did it take you to set up?
41:44From when our daughter Lisa went to pieces ten years ago
41:48because of Tom Quinn.
41:50That's why you wanted revenge on Tom?
41:51He got a hold of her.
41:55She couldn't stand the pressure.
41:57She broke down.
41:58She's still in a facility in Maine,
42:00doped most of the time when she isn't screaming.
42:05Herman wanted to kill himself at first, you know.
42:09He'd cry on my arms like a baby.
42:11Well, you got him through that.
42:12I wasn't going to lose him, too.
42:16The first task was to fake Herman's death.
42:19You staged the...
42:20It's like a movie set.
42:21Who was in the coffin?
42:23Oh.
42:25Street person.
42:26A nothing.
42:27What did you tell Lisa?
42:30I want her taken care of,
42:33whatever happens in this room.
42:35Absolutely.
42:36You tell the company that.
42:37We will, we will.
42:46How did you set up an operation like that?
42:49It was financed out of Damascus.
42:52Fun town.
42:53Who was paying?
42:55Iraqi Ba'athists.
42:57They wanted a big assassination in England
42:59and we saw the chance to finger Tom Quinn as the killer.
43:05She said it.
43:06We're saved.
43:07To set up the patriotic English spy as an assassin.
43:11We all misjudged you so much.
43:14Herman was a loader.
43:15I'm so very sorry.
43:16It's like I stopped braining in my head.
43:19Husband and wife team.
43:20No friends in the world.
43:22Something like that.
43:23I know what it's like.
43:24My wife's in MI6.
43:28It can be...
43:31so intimate.
43:32Like you're locked in a room together.
43:34Forever.
43:35You're good, aren't you?
43:38Very good.
43:39Not as good as Herman was.
43:44What's happened to Tom Quinn?
43:47He's gone.
43:48What's happened to Tom Quinn?
43:50He drowned himself.
43:54Tom Quinn is dead.
43:56Body turned up in a trawler's net this morning.
44:05I really want to believe that.
44:10But I can't tell if you're lying or not.
44:19What was it turn to you and Herman?
44:21You mean to the dark forces?
44:23It was more than Lisa's breakdown, wasn't it?
44:25Where's he going with this?
44:26Why don't they just get out of there?
44:27I'm good enough to have felt...
44:28She's not holding the gun.
44:29Send in the heavies before he gets himself killed.
44:31No way. I know what he's trying to do.
44:33He's undercover in Russia fighting communism.
44:35This is the victory of democracy.
44:38He should have been an arty.
44:40It's a thin line.
44:45Quinn is dead.
44:47Dogfish ate half his face away.
44:49Apparently there's a lot of dogfish in the North Sea.
44:51This guy...
44:52Softly, softly lie down, softly.
44:55What's going on?
44:56Tom, we can't do this.
44:58No, I can't allow it.
44:59What? Save the service?
45:00You want Oliver Mace to get to her and make a change of story?
45:03Your op was a total success.
45:05But I'm about to be taken in the field.
45:08You know what they say about that?
45:10Never be taken.
45:12Move your hand.
45:18Go on, bitch. Do it.
45:25Cul-de-sac.
45:26And the cops are all at the open end.
45:28That's it. No fire escape hanging down.
45:30No leap to the roof across the street.
45:32No rescue.
45:33No door.
45:34There's a door.
45:39Isn't that common?
45:43Yes.
45:45Yes.
45:48Go through that, the cops will never get you.
45:52No.
45:54A kind of act of mercy.
45:57To yourself.
46:11What's your real name?
46:14Adam Carter.
46:19And how good are your reflexes?
46:21I could stop you doing it.
46:22But you won't.
46:28Salud, Adam.
46:44Salud.
46:45You know, I thought everything would look completely different.
47:15– But it doesn't! – Tom, send a signal to the U.S. Ambassador!
47:18Tell him we have the bodies of two American citizens, does he want them back?
47:20– No need to be polite! – Yes, Harry!
47:31I, er… I couldn't have got it out of Carmen Joyce.
47:34Harry was right to let you do it.
47:36Maybe.
47:39Tom!
47:40How did Oliver Mason know we'd lured her to London?
47:45I don't know.
48:15Tom?
48:18Oh, did you think you were meeting Oliver Mason?
48:20Miss Dale.
48:21Pleased to meet you.
48:23This is Adam Carter. You're sort of doing the same job at the moment.
48:27Oh.
48:34You wore a wire when we met. Why?
48:36I was frightened. Sorry.
48:38– Sorry? – Sorry.
48:40– Sorry? – Sorry.
48:42I was frightened. Sorry.
48:44Sorry?
48:47That's enough, is it?
48:52I've resigned.
48:55Come on, no one resigns from what we do.
48:57I do.
49:01This job is in us. It's second nature. Come on.
49:06I'm out of your world now.
49:09None of you can touch me ever again.
49:13It nearly destroyed me.
49:18It is destroying you.
49:20No, I'm fine.
49:24Dandy. Cock a hoop.
49:32Goodbye, Tom.
49:42Goodbye.
50:09So where's this restaurant, then?
50:11Secret or not, I need a drink.
50:13– It's good to have you back, Tom. – Yeah, it is good.
50:18We lie about people a lot.
50:20What's really frightening is when someone lies about you.
50:22Yeah, well, the trick is not to care.
50:24No, I don't.
50:34It went wrong when you let Harry Pearce walk out of hospital.
50:38What could I have done? Broken his legs?
50:40You've done worse.
50:42– Don't be impertinent. – Impertinent?
50:44I've been cut out the loop because of this.
50:47The loop? Oh, dear.
50:50Now, don't worry. You're going down with me.
50:53How am I? Ah, Harry. Good to see you.
50:57Do you know Jason Belling? Only from certain tape recordings.
51:09Forgive us, Mr Belling. Spook, humour.
51:13Convivial, though this is.
51:16Sadly, Mr Belling is not a member of this club.
51:21Nor is he my guest.
51:24Is he yours?
51:27No.
51:30So I think you'd better leave.
51:38DOOR OPENS
51:54– You went over to them? – Yes.
51:57Damn near landed us with the Ministry of Security running a secret police.
52:02I was...
52:04perhaps somewhat blinded by ambition.
52:07Somewhat blinded.
52:11You can't force my resignation, you know.
52:13This is only one old draw.
52:19James, same again for Mr Mason. I'll have a large usual, not on my tab.
52:23Thank you, Mr Pearce.
