00:00Died this morning, bringing the number of paracetamol-related deaths to seven,
00:04with 11 more victims still listed in serious condition across the country,
00:08including two children, aged seven and nine.
00:11The Health Secretary made an urgent plea this morning for everyone
00:14to avoid taking any form of paracetamol while this matter is being investigated.

01:12Ruth, Danny, meeting room, now.
01:16This was faxed in anonymously. Everything else can wait.
01:19We've now got nine people dead after taking the most harmless
01:22and commonly used medicine in the country.
01:24I thought it was a cock-up at the factory.
01:26That's a story we're encouraging.
01:28But according to Pharmavor, the manufacturer,
01:30the pills were tampered with intentionally.
01:32Tampered?
01:33The pills were laced with a little added ingredient, menazorphine.
01:36Rather a potent dose, I'm afraid. The combination was lethal.
01:39It's like drinking acid.
01:41We need to look at this as a potential domestic accident.
01:44A potential domestic act of terrorism, and the clock is running on this.
01:47I don't need to tell you all how pervasive this is already.
01:49I know. I've already thrown out all my pills,
01:51and it's not the best time of the month for me to do that.
01:53I could tell you that much.
01:55This saying, as the walls crumble down,
01:58so the hawks will feast on the carcasses of the infidel.
02:02What about it?
02:03It sounds more like a calling card than a statement after the fact.
02:06They're not finished.
02:07We should be so lucky.
02:09What's this thing down here? What does it mean?
02:11It's a signature.
02:12Al Saika. It means thunderclap.
02:15I've not come across them before.
02:17I need to know if they're real, if they actually did this, and how it was done.
02:20It won't be easy to authenticate.
02:21A lot of cells like this, Al Saika, work independently.
02:24But I'll have a look at the wording, see if they've popped up before.
02:27Something like this has to have an insider to make it happen.
02:29We need to go over employee lists, recent firings,
02:32anyone who might have a grudge against the manufacturer.
02:34Pharma Boy.
02:35I think they're involved in some big controversy over their AIDS drugs pricing policy.
02:39Good. Work it with Ruth.
02:41I don't need to tell you all this is strictly need-to-know.
02:44Until we know exactly what we're dealing with, we're sticking with the official line.
02:47And let their share price be damned.
02:48Better a few pharmaceutical share prices suffer than we start a mass panic.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Danny.
02:54Unusually taciturn. Any thoughts?
02:58No.
02:59I think you've pretty much covered all the angles.
03:01That's very gracious of you.
03:04What is it?
03:05I'm sorry, sir. There's a call for you.
03:06Well, I've had them before. They've been known to wait.
03:08It's Guy Facer.
03:10By all means, then.
03:11He's held for the Security and Intelligence Coordinator.
03:13Just what we need. Another useless bureaucrat.
03:16When will the government learn we don't need to replicate every mindless position the Americans and the Tories create?
03:22Aaron, we need to meet.
03:30Hey.
03:32Danny.
03:35How are you?
03:36How are you?
03:38That's sweet of you to ask.
03:40You know, that's what I love about this business.
03:42You know, people care.
03:44Everybody just looks out for everybody else in such an amazing way.
03:48It just warms me up inside.
03:50Danny.
03:53Look, I know it's hard.
03:56I miss her, too.
03:58We all do.
04:00I just want you to know I'm here if you ever need to talk.
04:03I think the less said around this place, the better.
04:05I'd never know when I could come back and bite you on the arse.
04:09But we're nowhere near authenticating the facts.
04:11It doesn't matter. We're releasing it this afternoon.
04:13Ludicrous. Irresponsible. More than that, it's borderline criminal.
04:16Recent statements from Al-Qaeda have referred to them targeting infrastructure and financial damage rather than physical damage, haven't they?
04:21Yes, but...
04:22The PM believes this to be an act of terrorism, which it undoubtedly is.
04:26We'd all be on safer ground if we acted more on evidence than beliefs.
04:29Especially where others' lives are concerned, wouldn't you say?
04:32I can see you'll be at the polling station bright and early.
04:34I mean, what's next? Are muggings to be brought under this mythical terrorism umbrella of yours?
04:39People out there are scared enough.
04:41There's no need to make their lives any more fearful.
04:43There's no point in pouring all our resources into waging a war against terrorism when we can't point the finger at what it is we're fighting.
04:49Look, think it through for a minute.
04:51What if it's not them?
04:53What if it's some demented crackpot toiling away in a dingy basement in Coventry?
04:56We look like mugs, and you could alienate a lot of voters.
04:59Something which I know is rather dear to your heart.
05:02You worry about finding these people, Harry, and leave the spin to us.
05:10I've got three groups that have been very vocal in their criticism of pharmavir and the whole AIDS, drugs, price and policy thing.
05:15But none of them seem to have any history of violent protests of any kind.
05:18What about their employees?
05:19I went over the Met's report. No hits so far.
05:21They don't have anyone working there with so much as an unpaid parking ticket.
05:24No one with a Middle Eastern background, no messy layoffs.
05:26No one worth bumping off then. Shame.
05:28Dig deeper.
05:30I did find one thing, though. The signature on the note. Al-Saika.
05:33Thunderclap.
05:34Yeah, I ran it through our databases as well as GCHQ's.
05:37It's the first time they've ever come up.
05:39There's never even been any mention of them on any chatter or comms we've picked up.
05:42Maybe it's a typo. Maybe they meant Thunderbirds. Maybe one of the Tracy boys had gone bad.
05:45Danny, enough. Go on.
05:47I did an online meta-search, which also came up blank.
05:50But then I found something in an old book about the Crusades.
05:54Back in the 12th century, there were a small group of ruthless fighters, very devious,
05:59sort of like the Sultan's SAS.
06:01The brains behind Al-Saika was a brilliant war strategist called Ali Hassan al-Mazboudi.
06:06He made his name by taking the more advanced inventions of their enemies,
06:09like the catapult, for instance,
06:11and improving on them before turning back and using them to defeat them.
06:15Bring your enemy down using his own technology.
06:18Medicine.
06:19Exactly.
06:20This is going to get messy. We're going to have to talk to the pharmaceuticals.
06:23We need them to put everything on hold.
06:24Nothing can be allowed to leave the factories without being checked and double-checked.
06:27We may have to import drugs from abroad until we know what we're dealing with.
06:29Danny, pill factory.
06:37Look, do you want to talk about it?
06:39Why is everyone so interested in my well-being all of a sudden?
06:41I don't know.
06:42Did it have something to do with the fact that you've been acting like a total prat all week?
06:45None of us wanted to lose Zoe, Danny. That's the business we're in.
06:48We want less pain. We want an accountancy thing.
06:50Hey, don't knock accountants, all right? My father was an accountant.
06:52Look, did you ever stop to think?
06:53Look, let's just drop it, all right?
06:54Forget the pep talk and let's just focus on the task at hand.
06:57You know, defeating the forces of evil and all that.
07:00Fine by me.
07:02You've got to understand something.
07:03We produce over 7 million of those pills every year and have done for over 20 years.
07:07This couldn't have happened here at the factory.
07:09What if someone tampered with them after they were shipped out?
07:12Killitabis came from different distributors in widespread locations.
07:15It happened here.
07:16That's impossible.
07:17This factory is as good as it gets.
07:19The production is completely automated and computerised.
07:22It's monitored 24-7.
07:24No one can tamper with the process without being spotted.
07:27You need authorisation codes and clearance levels.
07:29The whole process is controlled by computers?
07:31Yes, of course.
07:32It's the control room.
07:38Colin, we're going to need you here.
07:45This name they're using, Al-Sa'iq, is very peculiar.
07:47It's not the kind of reference we've seen before.
07:49I mean, these people really know their history.
07:50Not now, Ruth.
07:51We just had two more deaths in Portsmouth and it's not the same brand of pills.
07:54Pharmavor's production line.
07:55The machines that actually combine and compact the ingredients into tablet form.
07:58They're not online.
08:00And no phone line means no way of hacking into them.
08:03However, Adam's theory isn't entirely without merit.
08:08Go on.
08:09In most painkillers, the main ingredient is generic.
08:11Something companies like Pharmavor buy in from an outside supplier.
08:15In this case, one that also happens to be a major supplier of menazorphine.
08:19And the supplier's machine is online and can be tampered with?
08:22Yes.
08:23Whoever did this simply messed around with the composition of one or two drums.
08:27How stupid is that?
08:28Don't they have any firewalls on their system?
08:31They do.
08:32Sadly, their servers are a rather popular model of router,
08:35which is still set to its default password.
08:39You mean password?
08:42We're meant to protect these people.
08:44Well, normally I wouldn't complain.
08:45It's been a great help in letting us into systems that we've wanted to sniff around in.
08:49But in this case, rather more unfortunate.
08:51OK, so what you're saying is this wasn't hugely difficult to do?
08:54No. Intermediate to expert-level hacker, but not rocket science.
08:58Which should be good news, except that it widens our net.
09:00Let's narrow it down some more.
09:01Can you track it?
09:02Well, the IP address it came from hosts hundreds of different users.
09:06Maybe this new attack will give us more data.
09:08So we have a whole new gaggle of suspects.
09:10Fundamentalist hackers.
09:11Fundamentalist hackers.
09:12They want to drag us back a couple of thousand years,
09:14but they don't mind using technology to do it.
09:16Reference to Yorkshire.
09:18Almaz Gudi.
09:19It's not about using medicine as a weapon.
09:21No. No, it's about turning every computer in the country into a potential killing machine.
09:25All right, we need to look at all the hackers we know of.
09:28Any programmers who are capable of doing this.
09:30Cross-reference for anything, even remotely linking any of them to Islamist causes.
09:33Check bank accounts, recent travel movements, chat rooms, the works.
09:37Put out an urgent alert to any other morons out there to change their bloody password, will you, Sam?
09:41Sure.
09:49Well, this is turning into my lucky night. How did you get in here?
09:52She gave these to me, remember?
09:56Where is she, Danny?
09:57We've been through this. I can't tell you.
09:59Well, I want to know. I deserve to know.
10:01It's not my decision.
10:02Oh, and I bet you're all broken up inside about that, aren't you?
10:05What's that supposed to mean?
10:06Oh, come on. That whole Broodin thing, ever since her and I got together.
10:10That's more than just a friend looking out for her, isn't it?
10:15Where is she, Danny?
10:17I'll say this slowly, so you can understand, OK?
10:20I can't tell you.
10:22Can't? Or won't?
10:24Look, it's not up to me, all right?
10:26This thing is complicated enough without...
10:28Oh, forgive me for complicating the life of the almighty Secret Service, but this is my life we're talking about here.
10:34I'm not an idiot. I read the papers.
10:37Agent X, come on.
10:39Zoe disappears the same time as an unnamed female MI5 agent is tried and sent away for ten years.
10:48It was her, wasn't it?
10:50I can't tell...
10:52Ten bloody years, Danny!
10:56Was it her?
11:01Yes.
11:05Where is she?
11:08Just tell me what prison she's in. I just want to talk to her.
11:11You need to leave.
11:12Tell me where!
11:14I can't talk to you about this! Don't you understand? You have to go!
11:18I'll go to the press, I swear to God.
11:19Fine!
11:20I'll tell them everything, everything that you know!
11:21I don't care!
11:22Ten years!
11:24Ten years. Where's Zoe?
11:28Danny...
11:31Just tell me what prison she's in.
11:33I only want to talk to her.
11:37She's not in prison.
11:39What?
11:40She's not in prison. They fixed it. I can't tell you any more than that.
11:44What?
11:45Just leave, will you?
11:52Talk to them, Danny.
11:54Tell them they've got till tomorrow night to let me know where she is.
11:57Otherwise this thing hits the headlines.
12:03I'm sorry.
12:34I'm sorry.
12:48Yes, I know, I know, I know.
12:50I'm sure every parent is calling you about their child, but I just wanted to check.
12:57OK, very good, very good. Thank you.
12:59Zoe's all right?
13:00She's fine.
13:01I've already told all the teachers and cleared any pills from the school's infirmary.
13:04See?
13:05What? I just wanted to make sure our son was safe. What's wrong with that?
13:08I see you're bringing out the big guns.
13:10Shock and awe. Works every time.
13:12What is it this time? Spain? Morocco?
13:14Not even close.
13:15Yeah, but you're going to have a time when you get back.
13:17Maybe.
13:18Then again, even three stars in the Alps have indoor swimming pools.
13:21Damn.
13:22At least I'll be able to call you. Late.
13:25How late?
13:27How many time zones are we talking about?
13:29Less than 20.
13:31Are you going to be back on Saturday?
13:33No.
13:36I promised Wes we'd take him to the science museum.
13:38It's the last weekend of that space fair thing. He's dying to see it.
13:41I know. You might have to take him by yourself.
13:43We haven't done anything with him together for ages.
13:45I'll try, I really will, but you know what it's like.
13:49What?
13:51Had him, he'll be fine. It's not as though he's not used to it.
13:54I know, but he's going to be eight in two months.
13:56He's going to start asking questions about stuff.
13:59About why we're never here.
14:01You mean why I'm never here.
14:03What?
14:04I miss him. I really do.
14:08We chose this life and what we do matters.
14:10Even to Wes in the long run.
14:12I know.
14:13I'm worried about this new placement of yours. It's as though you like staying put.
14:16I just like the idea of being there for him in the flesh.
14:19At least he's got one of us looking out for him. It's more than I ever had.
14:22Yeah, look how you turned out.
14:24What do you think?
14:27I'm not even curious to know what it'd be like to actually live together like a real family.
14:31Real family, please.
14:33My own son doesn't even know my real name.
14:35Hardly anyone outside Damascus does it for your own protection and his.
14:37Fine, that's not what we were made for, is it?
14:41We need more than that.
14:44Don't we?
14:48Bruce, I tried to get money out this morning and the cash boy wouldn't give me any.
14:51It's saying my bank balance is zero, which it definitely isn't for a change.
14:55You're not the only one.
15:04Panicked customers have flooded into branches of the bank across the country after finding their balance is wiped out.
15:10In Westminster this morning, the recently appointed security and intelligence coordinator, Guy Facer, had this to say.
15:17I just want to reassure people out there that everyone's savings are perfectly safe.
15:21Nothing's been lost. It's only a temporary problem.
15:24By law, every bank in this country has many safeguards and backups to ensure that no data is ever permanently lost.
15:31They have hard drives at our...
15:33He'd be more reassuring if he didn't look like he was enjoying it so much.
15:37Another bank's just been hit. The word is spreading like wildfire.
15:40The FTSE's already down over 400 points.
15:43This just came through.
15:45Someone tell me their password wasn't set to password.
15:47Take away that which the infidels hold dearest and watch as they turn on each other like rabid dogs.
15:54They've got such a lovely turn of phrase, don't you think?
15:56But what do they want? They haven't made any demands.
15:58Isn't it obvious? They want to bankrupt us.
16:00They're doing a good job of it.
16:01It's about time we did ours. Colin, tell me something uplifting.
16:04Well, it's shaping up to be the driest autumn on record.
16:06Do you want to be taken out and shot?
16:09Well, I've got six teams here working on tracing the source of the hacking
16:12and the National High Tech Crime Unit's got all of their programmers working on it.
16:15They're sending over a couple of their people to work from here.
16:17Good. Whatever it takes. I want these technofreaks stopped.
16:21Harry.
16:24I need a minute.
16:33Is he, um...
16:34I don't know.
16:38I think he'll do it.
16:40He'll be in breach of the Official Secrets Act. He could go to prison.
16:43I don't think he cares. He only wants to talk to Zoe.
16:47Tell him to go ahead and do it.
16:49He can hold a live press conference for all I care.
16:51But tell him this.
16:53If he does that, if he breaks this story,
16:56then all he'll have done is make damn sure that Zoe goes to jail
16:59because that's what would happen. Is that what he wants?
17:01Why can't we just tell him where she is?
17:03It's for her own safety, Danny. You can't rely on everyone's discretion.
17:06You saw what his brother did.
17:08How many other dodgy friends and relatives has he got?
17:10Who else won't jump at the chance to make a few quid when they find out?
17:13And what happens when Will and Zoe break up?
17:15Can you guarantee he won't sell the story then?
17:17I don't want her to go to prison, Danny.
17:19And if that means she's got to find another boyfriend...
17:21They were going to get married, Harry.
17:23She trusts him.
17:25It's a human failing she'll have to overcome.
17:38Andrew.
17:40What are you doing here?
17:41Hello, Ruth.
17:42It's been ages.
17:43I wouldn't go that far.
17:44You two know each other?
17:45Yeah, I was talking about GCHQ the same time as Ruth.
17:47Andrew and John are working with the National High Tech Crime Unit.
17:50They're going to help liaise between Colin's team and the NHTCU from here.
17:53Good.
17:55This way.
18:01Wait, wait, wait.
18:02Go back. Go back to this one.
18:05Any luck tracing our hackers?
18:07This node here.
18:08Look at the time delay.
18:09That's too close to be just...
18:14Yes.
18:15See that?
18:16That's also a Weststar downlink, which could be...
18:20Stop the presses.
18:21It's routing through the same CMT host as the one from the second bank.
18:24I'll come back later.
18:25Of course.
18:27But it's not enough.
18:28We can't triangulate with that INTX signature packet from a secondary root server.
18:32But we have one.
18:33The first attack, the one on the pill factory, that's also on INTX.
18:35Of course.
18:36We can triangulate that from there.
18:38So tell us where they're coming from.
18:43Got them.
18:51Our scans indicate high mission readings in this area here,
18:54which correlates with the wiring plants we found.
18:56I'd say that's his computer room.
18:58You sure about that?
18:59No.
19:01He could be using a laptop with a wireless connection.
19:03He could be anywhere in there.
19:04Great.
19:06Well, we've got no choice.
19:08Danny, you and Alpha Unit use this access here.
19:10Make sure this section's covered.
19:12I'll take Charlie Unit.
19:13Cover the main stint, please.
19:15All these years of massaging the hearts and minds of these people
19:17and we're about to flush it all down the toilet.
19:19I'll deliver that.
19:20Adam, I think you should see this.
19:24A TV crew?
19:25What are they doing here?
19:27Danny, call Harry. Find out what the hell's going on.
19:29What are you doing?
19:36Put that away.
19:37Hey, what do you think you're doing?
19:38Get back in the van and get out of here.
19:40We've got a tip-off that the mosque is about to be raided.
19:42Get out of here, Danny.
19:43Is it true that the hacker attacks on the banks
19:45are the work of Islamic cyber-terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda?
19:47Is that what you're doing here?
19:49We've been spotted. I repeat, we've been spotted.
19:51Keep rolling.
19:52Tell him to abort and stand down. I repeat, stand down.
19:55Can't do anything with the entire bloody press out there.
19:59Get me Guy Facer now.
20:01Adam?
20:02Yeah?
20:03Harry wants us to stand down.
20:05We can't do that. They'll wipe out all the evidence.
20:13Screw it. Alpha 1 to all units, we are go.
20:15I repeat, we are go. Seal all the entrances
20:17and somebody get those reporters out of here.
20:19Go.
20:27There's so many of them.
20:30Get out!
20:39Danny, talk to me.
20:40Clear at my end.
20:51Everyone, up against the wall with your hands where I can see them.
20:54You, I said up against the wall, now!
20:56The man said up against the wall.
20:58You speak English.
20:59Danny, you have no right!
21:01Danny, talk to me about rights.
21:03Shut up!
21:25What's yours look like?
21:26I've checked all the caches. So far, nothing.
21:34It was completely unnecessary.
21:36So what? You're squeamish now.
21:38The guy was resisting.
21:39Don't give me that. He wasn't resisting anything, and you know it.
21:41One more tap of that keyboard could have triggered another disaster.
21:44Pulling him off his chair is one thing.
21:45Using him as a human punch bag is something else.
21:47It's your problem. We got them, didn't we?
21:49Maybe.
21:50I tell you what, Danny, just go home and think about
21:53whether or not you really want to come in tomorrow.
21:55I'll tell you what, Adam, I'll come in tomorrow.
21:57And the next day.
21:58And the next day.
21:59And the next day.
22:00And the next day.
22:01I'll tell you what, Adam, I'll come in tomorrow.
22:03And the next day.
22:04But as soon as this thing is over, I am out.
22:06Fine by me!
22:07But as long as we're doing this, I need to know I can count on you.
22:10You don't have to worry about that.
22:11Good! Great!
22:31Excuse me.
23:02He's alive!
23:05Hi, and welcome to the party sex line.
23:08We have dozens of horny, filthy, dirty, hot-handsome men
23:12waving, waiting to talk to us.
23:16Causing dozens of collisions, many of them serious.
23:19At least 21 people have been killed and many others critically wounded.
23:22Hospital officials have confirmed that the death toll would have been lower
23:26had the emergency services been able to reach the victims sooner.
23:29But all calls to 999 were routed to sex chat lines
23:33while traffic across the city came to a standstill.
23:36Staggering. Nowhere safe.
23:39I mean, all it takes is one person.
23:41Someone with a computer and a phone line, doesn't it?
23:44That's a reflection of how at times everything's pushed to extremes even now.
24:00This isn't about Islamic fundamentalism.
24:02Our hackers have set us up.
24:04It isn't even political, it's just good old-fashioned greed.
24:10What is it?
24:11We had a look at the traffic management centre systems.
24:14Now they've got level 5 firewalls, rotating SP lines,
24:17an RC5128 cipher packet and everything is running the way it should.
24:20There are no sniffers in there.
24:22No back doors.
24:24But he still managed to get in.
24:25I mean, we know this was an outsider attack.
24:28Yes.
24:32What are you saying?
24:34I'm saying that there's only one way he could have got in.
24:41The problem with making the Internet a reality was always security.
24:44Until you could be sure that no-one could intercept an email address to you
24:47or hack in and steal your credit card details, no-one was going to use it.
24:51Then, 13 years ago, two techno-freaks in Seattle,
24:54Gibson and Joukowsky, G and J,
24:57came up with something amazing.
24:59An algorithm, a code,
25:01which has become the basis of virtually all Internet electronic encryption.
25:05The G and J algorithm.
25:07Never heard of it.
25:08Most people haven't.
25:09But every time you send an email,
25:11every time you buy a DVD online,
25:13you're using it and you don't even know it.
25:15They've made millions from it.
25:17So you're saying whoever is doing this has cracked this code?
25:20Yes.
25:21You've got to understand something.
25:23We're talking about numbers that are 200 digits long.
25:26There are competitions with massive cash prizes for people to try and crack this thing.
25:30Hundreds of thousands of dollars for whoever comes up with the key to decoding it.
25:33Not 100 million.
25:35Maybe someone's decided to go for the jackpot.
25:37We should look at anyone who's participated in these things.
25:39We're getting the list, but it's a big one.
25:41All the best hackers and programmers from around the world take part in them.
25:44But no-one's managed to do it.
25:46No-one's even come close.
25:48Whoever's behind this,
25:50whoever's got this key,
25:52can go through any firewall and hack into any computer he likes.
25:56Imagine what we could do with that.
25:58Imagine what people like Guy Facer could do with it.
26:01Right, I want a wide sweep.
26:03Every programmer, every hacker we've been watching,
26:05I want them dragged in, I want them throttled till they spit out a name.
26:08That's a lot of people.
26:09The more the merrier.
26:12Guy, this is not about Islamic terrorism.
26:14You know that and I know that.
26:16But we don't need to let everyone into our little secret just yet, do we?
26:21Let the people out there have a good night's sleep, Harry.
26:24I don't know what's more terrifying,
26:26the idea that it's a group of deranged zealots trying to do this to us
26:29or the fact that it could just be one man and his laptop.
26:32It doesn't matter much.
26:34We're prepared to pay.
26:36But there is a caveat.
26:38We want the G&J key.
26:42You sure about this?
26:43Absolutely. Look at this one.
26:45It's also slanted the wrong way.
26:47Whoever wrote this doesn't really know how to write Arabic at all.
26:49He's copying it from a book.
26:51OK, stay on it.
26:55What, you think I'm wasting my time?
26:57Well, we already know he's faking it, so...
27:02Have you ever read Flaubert?
27:04No.
27:05God is in the details.
27:08The answer's right there in front of us.
27:11It always is.
27:12We just have to keep looking till we see it.
27:15If you say so, Ruth.
27:20Andrew.
27:21Ruth.
27:22Tell me something.
27:23When was the last time you went to a bookshop?
27:27Why?
27:28It's humanly.
27:29Why, I browse through one almost every day.
27:31Really? Which one?
27:32Biggest one in the world. Online, of course.
27:36Take me to your lair.
27:42They want the G&J key.
27:44Why am I not surprised?
27:45I'm sure they'll make it.
27:47And I want to cross-reference the search patterns for the historical background
27:50with book searches on Arabic writing.
27:53See if we can find out where our pseudo-fundamentalist
27:55is getting all his nifty lines from.
27:57Not a problem.
28:01I'm impressed.
28:02Well, I spent a few years sitting at a computer with no-one around
28:04to distract you with the trivial things in life.
28:06You'd be surprised at what you can do.
28:08Trivial things?
28:09Friendship, family, open spaces, sunny skies.
28:12You know what I mean.
28:14Friendship, family, open spaces, sunny skies.
28:17You know, all the things we never have time for.
28:20And what about you?
28:22How's life been treating you since GCHQ?
28:25Ah, I suppose I have my health.
28:27Oh, that good, huh?
28:29Oh, come on, look around you.
28:31Can you possibly conceive of a better, fuller way to live one's life?
28:35Oh, yes.
28:36So what's stopping you?
28:38Probably the same thing that's stopping you.
28:40Fear of change.
28:42Habit.
28:43My cat.
28:45Yeah, I shouldn't complain, really.
28:47I suppose I also have my health.
28:49I can't remember the last time I had a full medical.
28:52Dread to think of what they might find.
28:54What's that?
28:55No sign of life.
29:04It's late.
29:05You should go home. Tomorrow's going to be a long day.
29:07I'll be fine.
29:11OK.
29:14Look, um...
29:16I'm sorry.
29:18You know, about before...
29:20It's just, I'm...
29:21I know.
29:23It's OK.
29:26Are you going to be all right?
29:30The flat's so quiet.
29:33She was going to be leaving soon anyway.
29:35Yeah, I know, I know.
29:37I suppose her being there all this time was just delaying the inevitable.
29:43She was in love, Danny.
29:46But what you and Zoe shared...
29:48It doesn't just disappear because there's an ocean or...
29:52another man between you.
29:56You're lucky.
29:58I don't feel lucky.
29:59You should.
30:01A bond like that...
30:03You know, you can absolutely count on someone, anytime, anywhere, to be there for you.
30:08To do the right thing.
30:11I envy that.
30:18Don't you ever wonder about this path we've chosen?
30:23Every night.
30:41I think you need to brush up on a little concept called sleep.
30:44Yeah, I vaguely recall the notion.
30:46Is it all it's cracked up to be?
30:48It's actually mandatory. Check your user's menu.
30:51Any hits yet?
30:52No, but there's always tomorrow.
30:54Another day, another manhunt.
30:56There's something else we can throw into the mix.
30:59The more I think about this guy, about the choices he's made,
31:02the way his mind works,
31:04the more I realise that I'm not alone.
31:07The choices he's made, the way his mind works.
31:10He really likes his history.
31:12It's not just something he's casually picked up.
31:14And I'm pretty sure it's not the first time he's used such references in his work.
31:18He'll have used them before.
31:19References from the same period.
31:21Maybe even from Muslim history or literature.
31:24Like the poetry he quoted in the faxes.
31:26He loves this stuff.
31:28We need to cross-reference our search with user names, domain names, software titles.
31:33The personal touch. It's always hard to hide.
31:37What do you think?
31:39I think we should definitely look into that.
31:43Tomorrow.
31:45You're right.
31:51I know it's late, but have you had dinner yet?
31:54I can't imagine who would feed us at this hour.
31:57Well, if I may be so bold, I make a pretty decent carbonara.
32:03Why not?
32:05I'll find us a taxi and meet you outside.
32:07Okay.
32:33Come in.
32:43Come in.
32:55Did you talk to them?
32:57Yeah.
32:59And?
33:00No deal.
33:03No, you... They wouldn't risk it.
33:06You really have no idea who you're dealing with.
33:11Fine.
33:13You had to sign a piece of paper after you started seeing Zoe.
33:16Official secrets act? Ring any bells?
33:19I don't care.
33:21Look, just forget about her.
33:25She's better off, anyway, away from this insanity.
33:29Is that what you're going to do, is it?
33:32Just forget about her?
33:34Look, you're just going to ruin your life. And hers.
33:37Talk to the press and all you'll do is make sure Zoe spends the rest of her life
33:42in some grotty prison cell. Is that what you want?
33:47I wonder what gives you more pleasure.
33:50Telling Zoe about those stolen photographs
33:53or watching me here like this.
33:56You know, if you really loved her, Danny,
33:59if you had any feelings for her at all, you'd want her to be happy.
34:03But that kind of selflessness is way beyond you people, isn't it?
34:12You know, I really don't know how you sleep at night.
34:27Oh.
34:40Call sign, please?
34:42Foxtrot Echolima 699.
34:44How shall I direct your call?
34:46Life Desk, please.
34:48Adam.
34:50Is she OK?
34:52She said she wasn't going in deep this time.
34:54I'm just wondering if anything's changed.
34:56We've had a small problem. She's had to go under.
34:59Is she all right?
35:01She's due to come up for air for another 17 hours.
35:04Let me know when you hear from her, all right?
35:06Is anything wrong, Adam?
35:08No, no, just... Just let me know, will you?
35:15That was just heavenly, Andrew. Thank you.
35:18It's a pleasure.
35:20I have to say, this house, perfect carbonara.
35:25How is it you're still unattached?
35:29Could I say the same thing?
35:31You haven't tried my pasta.
35:35Seriously, how did you end up at GCHQ?
35:39It's someone with your turn.
35:41I'd have imagined you cruising to your third flotation by now.
35:45Nah, unfortunately.
35:47I suppose I'm, er...
35:49I'm not enough of an entrepreneur.
35:51Didn't have the killer instinct, you see.
35:54Anyway, that's all in the past. I prefer to look ahead.
35:58I'm leaving the service.
36:00Really?
36:02Yeah, there's something I've thought a lot about.
36:05Talking to you.
36:07And what are you going to do?
36:10Dunno. See the world.
36:12Find somewhere warm and slow.
36:15Just enjoy my life for a change.
36:17That sounds wonderful.
36:19Yeah, the world, it's all about greed now.
36:21It's all about lies and spin and corruption.
36:24I don't want to have to think about that any more.
36:29Well, when you find the spot, let me know.
36:37Ready am I to go.
36:39The sails of my eagerness await the wind.
36:41And then I shall come to you.
36:43A boundless drop to a boundless ocean.
36:50Don't you just love Abu Nuwas?
36:59I need to, er...
37:14No!
37:19Why do you have to be so good at what you do?
37:27Anything?
37:29No.
37:30Is Ruth not here yet?
37:32No, I don't think she's coming in today.
37:34She texted me to say she was feeling horrible.
37:36Drag her in. Even if she's got pneumonia, I want everyone here.
37:44BEEPING
37:55Get Colin in here now.
38:01He's here, online, messaging me. Can you trace him?
38:04Keep him talking.
38:06What's going on?
38:07Take a look.
38:11Colin?
38:12I'm working on it.
38:24Bastard has a sense of humour.
38:29Colin?
38:30Almost there.
38:34He's nearby.
38:43He's going to sign off.
38:45Colin!
39:03He's signed off! We did it!
39:05Yes. The messages were coming from Sam's computer.
39:08He was using it as a slave.
39:10He was using it as a slave.
39:12BEEPING
39:37I feel very Gollum-esque.
39:40Harry, I don't know what to do about Ruth.
39:42I sent a car round to her house, but she's not there.
39:45Are those her diamonds?
39:47Don't touch them!
39:48Really, Malcolm, I'm just looking.
39:50They've been tinkered with, coated with poison.
39:52Genetically modified cobra venom goes in through the skin,
39:55kills in under one minute, heart failure.
39:57We've got to stop him in his tracks.
39:59And yes, Mr Frodo and Sam.
40:02Anything?
40:03No.
40:04Everything in place?
40:05The car's tracking device is online.
40:07All met squads within 100-mile radius are on standby,
40:09as well as two choppers ready for liftoff. We'll get him.
40:11Have you seen Ruth?
40:12I was just telling Harry. I don't know where she is.
40:14She said she was sick, but...
40:16BEEPING
40:17Go up to the roof. Alone.
40:19Now. You have one minute.
40:21He's given me a minute to get on the roof alone.
40:23I want all exits from the building sealed now.
40:36BEEPING
41:02Where's the backup? Get the backup generator on!
41:04Everything's down. Comms.
41:27It's a chopper!
41:29They're using a helicopter!
41:31Can't be. The radar hasn't picked up anything.
41:33No, it's too small for a radar. It's a model. A remote-controlled model.
41:45Put the diamonds on the hook.
41:47No tricks. I'm watching.
42:03WHIRRING
42:17The helicopter's gone. It's taken the diamonds with it.
42:27Don Tchaikovsky.
42:29OK.
42:30We were at Cambridge together.
42:34Emma Gibson.
42:36Her fabulous key.
42:38It's all based on my work.
42:40I practically invented it.
42:42Only they were smarter.
42:44They took a patent out on it.
42:46Me, I just...
42:49I didn't think that far ahead.
42:51I was just in it for the challenge.
42:53Didn't they ever offer you anything in return?
42:55Not so much as a mention in one of the hundred cover stories about them.
42:59Nothing.
43:02So what happens now?
43:05Our munificent government wants to buy it from me.
43:08For these.
43:10And are you going to give it to them?
43:12No, please. Something like this in their hands?
43:15No, no. I think it's something everyone should enjoy.
43:18You're going to release it?
43:21Why not?
43:23You can't do that, Andrew. You can't release it.
43:25It'll wreak havoc.
43:27The Internet, bank systems, the stock market,
43:30you'll compromise, you'll devastate the markets, the economy.
43:34And the world will be a better place for it.
43:36Bring things back to a saner level.
43:38Andrew, listen to yourself. You can't really want this.
43:41You'll ruin millions of lives.
43:44So be it.
43:46It'll be the great G&J legacy.
43:49What better way for the world to remember it?
43:56What am I going to do with you, Ruth?
44:00A toy.
44:02They've screwed us with a bloody toy.
44:04What are we dealing with here? A teenager?
44:06They're hardly toys, Harry. We use them for surveillance in Afghanistan.
44:09They can't sell them in many shops, can they?
44:11We're on it. What do we do now?
44:13We wait and hope the venom does its trick.
44:15It could be days before someone finds the body. Weeks, even.
44:18As long as those days are nice and quiet, I don't mind.
44:20Let's hope he can't delete and wipe out the G&J key before he snuffs it.
44:23I'm sure Facer and his boffins will find a way to retrieve it.
44:26I wouldn't entrust politicians with that much power. The G&J key is dangerous.
44:30They won't let a small detail like a delete button stand between them and their magical key.
44:34Where's Ruth?
44:35Sick. Poor girl. She couldn't even call in.
44:37What are you talking about?
44:38She sent a text message.
44:39A text? Ruth? Are you sure?
44:41She sent a text message to Sam. What's so strange about that?
44:43Ruth doesn't even know how to change ringtones.
44:45Danny.
44:46Come on, Harry. When was the last time Ruth took a day off sick?
44:51Who was the last person to see her last night?
44:53I left around 10.30. Ruth was still here.
44:55What was she working on?
44:56She was profiling our hacker, trying to trace him by cross-referencing online search patterns and purchases.
45:00What if she got lucky? What if she found him?
45:02Is there any way he could know Ruth was on to him?
45:04Well, yes, with keystroke monitoring, but...
45:06What if he's lifted her?
45:07He knew how to get onto your screen. He had Adam's mobile number.
45:10He seems to know everything about what goes on in here.
45:12Check the CCTV footage.
45:14Finish what she was doing. If she's spooked him, we can't be that far off.
45:21Stop there.
45:22Looks like Andrew was working late, too. Get on to him. See if he knows anything.
45:25I'm on it.
45:26What are we missing?
45:27Details. God is in the details.
45:29Danny, we've been through this.
45:30Look, we're missing something, all right? Otherwise she'd be here.
45:35What's happening here?
45:37It's the G and J key.
45:39Gibson and Joukowsky are based in Seattle, but this isn't happening in America.
45:42Why?
45:43Why only here?
45:44Let's pull up everything we know about these guys.
45:46Have they ever lived here, worked here?
45:49Joukowsky spent a year as an Amherst scholar at Cambridge.
45:52Cambridge. Lots of techno freaks there.
45:54Well, maybe our guy and Joukowsky cross paths.
45:56Let's get into the university's database.
45:58We need to know what courses he did, who his classmates were.
46:00That's easy.
46:04Forrestal.
46:05A. Forrestal.
46:06Forrestal. I've just spoken with the NHTCU. They haven't seen Andrew all day.
46:12It's Andrew. He's got Ruth.
46:18Ruth?
46:37Ruth?
46:38Sally?
46:39Ruth.
46:41Are you OK?
46:42I knew you'd find me. I just knew it.
46:44Are you OK?
46:46We're fine.
46:49OK.
46:50It's such a waste.
46:52He could have done so much.
46:54It's all right, Ruth.
46:55He was just so... alone.
46:57It's all right. It's all over now.
46:59OK.
47:00Get careful.
