MI5. Spooks S06 E03 - The Kidnap
Transcript
00:00Special Consul, tell your friends in Washington to clip their hawk's wings.
00:10My president views the secret production of materials banned by the Geneva Convention
00:14in a very dim light.
00:16And yet, if it was shown to the world that the exposure of this biological agent by the
00:20train bomb was the work of the CIA, then we may not be able to restrain the Iranian secret
00:25service.
00:27As fortunate for you, I consider your threats idle.
00:30The thing is, you seem so keen to find the culprit.
00:33Let me enlighten you.
00:36The British bombed your train.
00:56Any idea where Roz is?
01:15Following a lead on Zath.
01:16I expressly forbade any harebrained search missions.
01:18Did you think I wouldn't notice she was gone?
01:20No, I just knew you wouldn't authorise it.
01:21And for good reason.
01:22Look, if it had been me taken, I would have hoped that somebody would have done the same thing.
01:24Adam, I will pursue with vengeance anyone who acts against my people, but I will not
01:28risk losing anyone else, and nor will you.
01:30One more incident with Iran's fingerprints on it.
01:33We won't be able to restrain the Americans, and then we'll be looking down the barrel
01:36of another war in the Gulf.
01:39Tower, 167 Cargo.
01:42Turn left, heading 260 degrees.
01:45Climb flight level 190.
01:48Roger, Tower.
01:49Tower, 167, turn left.
01:54Tower, we have a malfunction.
01:56Requesting... Shit!
01:57Engine failure!
01:58Losing airspeed!
01:59Request an emergency landing.
02:01Coming from Tower.
02:02Tower...
02:05Try them again.
02:07Tower, 167, this is Chartwell Radar.
02:18Yeah.
02:24Where did it come down?
02:35Some sort of cargo plane's come down right near the American base at Halesworth.
02:39Local reports of a collision or a shooting down.
02:41Witnesses describe some sort of object, possibly a missile.
02:43Any noise from the Americans at the base?
02:45Not yet. It's M.O.D. land. I'll get in touch.
02:47But in the light of specific threats to civilian aviation that we've been receiving...
02:50Only a couple of days ago there was the prospect of peace.
02:52Fragile but real. Let's pray to God this is not the Iranians.
02:55There's been no unusual chatter or traffic from the embassy that we've noticed.
02:58I've got a routine pick-up coming up from my embassy source.
03:00I could bring it forward, find out if there's a whisper of any of this coming from their end.
03:17Anna.
03:18Is that OK?
03:19The brush pass was perfect, but this phone call's probably been monitored by half a dozen international security agencies.
03:24In this trade, it always serves to be careful.
03:27I'm sorry.
03:29So why did you pick it up if it was a risk?
03:33I'm still learning.
03:35Well, then you be careful.
03:41Moments after the cargo plane disappeared off the screens,
03:44another pilot reported taking evasive action to avoid an unidentified object that didn't appear on radar.
03:49But there are no other reports of another plane missing or damaged.
03:51Not yet.
03:53A cargo plane downed and three crewmen dead.
03:56Not a very impressive tally for a terror target.
03:59Is it conceivable that a UK plane is shot down deliberately to crash into a US base?
04:03Well, access to the perimeter at Halesworth is relatively easy.
04:06The base is home to a permanent encampment of UFO freaks.
04:09Our very own Area 51.
04:10The possibility of infiltration is why we've been keeping an eye on them.
04:13Could there really be a terrorist among the ufologists firing anti-aircraft missiles up at passing traffic?
04:18It's a possibility.
04:20I've just told the Home Secretary that grounding all flights will be playing directly into the terrorists' hands.
04:24We need to find out who's behind this and if they'll strike again.
04:27I've contacted the Defence Intelligence Agency.
04:29They're already liaising with the Americans.
04:31Meaning what? They're claiming an exclusive?
04:33Get hold of Sheridan.
04:34I know all your old cronies, Harry.
04:36The story of Sheridan has been taken ill.
04:39The MOD are freezing us out.
04:41They know something.
04:43Malcolm, you're going to Halesworth.
04:45To liaise?
04:46Undercover. I want you to look at the crash site.
04:48Then pay a visit to your UFO friends.
04:50Your contacts down there are invaluable.
04:52Anything from Iran?
04:53We're going through the documents my Iranian source provided right now.
04:56It amounts to little more than a visitor's book.
04:58Seems to be no new faces at the embassy.
05:00I suspect the MOD are covering for a security breach.
05:03We need to know what's happened before anything is appointed at Iran.
05:07Perfect day to be a man down.
05:10Connie, delay the Home Secretary.
05:12We don't report them until we find out what's going on with the Iranians.
05:16Roz, get back to me as soon as you can.
05:18Or hell's breaking loose here.
05:20Just...
05:22Just let me know if you're okay, yeah?
05:30Please, please, please!
05:33Help!
05:34I said I'm not letting her in here!
05:37You're a loser, man!
05:38Let me go!
05:39Let me go!
05:42Let me go!
05:52Who are you?
05:56Oh, it's you.
05:59You wanted to find out where your friend Zaf is.
06:02Track down this evil Copenhagen.
06:06I get the impression you're not here to help.
06:09No.
06:11Why bring me to Denmark?
06:13We want to find out something.
06:17I'm not telling you anything.
06:19About Harry Pearce? Adam Carter?
06:22No, we know all about them.
06:25What then?
06:28Aren't you meant to ask me questions? Isn't that why I'm here?
06:30No.
06:34Then what am I doing here?
06:39Good grief.
06:48Apparently you're already late for your annual psychological profile.
06:52The shrink's waiting downstairs.
06:54Welcome to the new caring, sharing security services.
06:57She said to remind you that after two postponements they have powers to suspend you.
07:01Après moi, le deluge.
07:03How many times have I missed...
07:04Five.
07:05Please apologise to her for me.
07:07And try to use all your powers to persuade them that I am still sane.
07:11Get down there or you will be suspended.
07:16Jo.
07:17We need to find out everything the MOD know about this downed plane at Halesworth.
07:20Who do you know?
07:22I had a boyfriend in MOD intelligence.
07:25Then you already knew that, didn't you?
07:27I want you to arrange to see him.
07:28The MOD are holding out on us.
07:30Will he get in trouble?
07:31Only if he tells us stuff we already know.
07:32No, I mean with the MOD.
07:34He'll have to ask them that.
07:36Wasn't it for him?
07:37What do men always want? I forget.
07:39Adam, you can't seriously...
07:40No, in time.
07:41Take a look at this.
07:42See what you can use.
07:48You know he lied to me about being married.
07:50Sounds like payback time to me.
07:55Pleasure.
07:56Cricket.
07:58Longing for.
07:59Summer.
08:00Hiding from.
08:01Aliens.
08:03Alone.
08:04Scarlet.
08:05Reward.
08:07Chocolate buttons.
08:08Missing.
08:09Something.
08:11Someone.
08:12Just one word.
08:16Sorry, I need you.
08:17Malcolm's about to report in from the base.
08:19We'll just have to start over.
08:22Thank you, Connie.
08:23I think I was just beginning to get maudlin.
08:25No, don't tell me you were lamenting the fact that there won't be a Lady Pierce to visit the base.
08:29Even by your standards, Connie, that's impressive.
08:31Harry, I haven't just spent my time in Norfolk drinking gin and plotting the Murdoch family's downfall.
08:36Oh, and just so you know, Summer, I have a perfectly serviceable tiara if you need a last-minute stand-in.
08:41Sick transit, Gloria Mundi, as they say.
08:45I'm sure I can't bear it.
08:48I can't bear it.
08:52I can't bear it.
08:54I can't bear it.
08:57I can't bear it.
09:00I can't bear it.
09:02I can't bear it.
09:21My guess is these men must have removed the remains of the crew.
09:25But the oddest thing is that the main part of the fuselage seems to have been moved.
09:33Ah!
09:37I've got to stop now.
09:41Those men were wearing...
09:43I know.
09:48This reminds me of when we first met.
09:51You wore a red dress. Do you remember?
09:54Of course I remember.
09:55What happened to it?
09:57I stole the dress.
09:58Both?
10:00I died, and I threw the dress away, I think.
10:04I don't want to talk about us. I want to talk about Halesworth.
10:07The MOD are refusing to let us get fresh intelligence after the crash. I want to know why.
10:11I've sent an eye-level team to investigate.
10:14That's it?
10:16Jo, if I knew more, I'd tell.
10:20You're still lying.
10:23Here, Alan. Recognise this?
10:27It was a receipt for dinner for four.
10:29You, your wife, remember her?
10:31Canadian diplomat and his wife.
10:33And?
10:34Well, you claimed for it.
10:36So?
10:37Well, the nice Canadian man paid for all of you, didn't he?
10:39And there you are, claiming for it.
10:41A simple mistake.
10:42We have a file.
10:43As you can imagine, this is the least of it.
10:45You might get a rap on the knuckles this time, but...
10:47then another emerges next week, and the week after that.
10:50And with the marriage in trouble.
10:53The investigators went off to Halesworth carrying full NVC suits.
10:56Why?
10:57There were highly toxic chemicals on the plane that crashed.
11:00Whose chemicals?
11:02Ours.
11:03Do we know what?
11:05I can let you know.
11:10Do a swap.
11:12So tell me this.
11:13Is it possible for Iranian intelligence to run operations in the UK without your knowledge?
11:17I might ask the same question of you, Harry.
11:19And my reply would be?
11:21That you'd soon hear about any such plans.
11:23What have you heard?
11:24There are factions, not just extreme ones, who see British handiwork behind the recent lies.
11:29And they're not just lying.
11:31They're lying.
11:32And they're lying.
11:33And they're lying.
11:34And they're lying.
11:35And they're lying.
11:36And they're lying.
11:37And they're lying.
11:38And they're lying.
11:39And they're lying.
11:40They see British handiwork behind the recent blast,
11:43and, without compelling evidence to the contrary,
11:45it may be that the voices of moderation,
11:48mine among them, are being lost in a general clamour.
11:51So getting back at both the great and the little Satan
11:54would be hard for some of your colleagues to turn down?
11:56Like you, Harry, I can't be expected to speak for my colleagues.
12:00But I can assure you, your plane crash was not the fault of Iran.
12:06The plane that crashed was carrying some highly toxic chemical agents.
12:09The M.O.D. have put an exclusion zone around the test site,
12:11but the Americans have already taken a fuselage into the base
12:14for testing and decontamination.
12:16Jo, any idea how bad the substances are?
12:18Port and down bout.
12:20Connie, get on to Malcolm.
12:23Why were lethal toxic chemicals being carried on a standard Korea flight?
12:27They'd say these planes are less of a target, given all the threats.
12:30Unless terrorists knew what the plane was cargoing.
12:34The problem is that here, the period of lethal toxicity is like a spike.
12:37It'll be safe there in a couple of hours,
12:38but for Malcolm, the damage could already have been done.
12:42Malcolm, start walking away from the crash site.
12:44Why?
12:46The plane was a commercial Korea flight,
12:49but for some reason, there was a shipment of highly toxic chemicals on board.
12:54All right.
12:56That explains the men in NBC's suits.
12:58Yes, probably.
13:00I don't know at this point how exposed you've been,
13:02but the prognosis is not good.
13:07I can't put a positive spin on this, Malcolm. I'm sorry.
13:11I'm going to transmit a grid reference to your GPS.
13:13That's where the medevac's coming in.
13:15And I'll meet you at the hospital.
13:17Shit!
13:35I'll go in and get him, Mother.
13:38We've got to stay focused on the reasons for this crash.
13:40The medics will look after Malcolm.
13:43If we get this wrong, his death will be the first of many.
13:47We've been attempting face-matching on the UFO guys Malcolm's already met at the base.
13:51No red flags so far.
13:52This isn't an imposter in the UFO camp firing missiles from Halesworth.
13:57There was a bomb placed on board to maximise chemical spillage.
13:59I need to see the plane itself.
14:01The state of the fuselage should tell us what happened.
14:03If I can get to the black box, even better.
14:05Find out who caused this crash.
14:07I'll get on to Bob Hogan. There's been an incident on US property.
14:10He'll be on the inside track.
14:15Jo, when I'm gone, I want you to look out for anything that comes in from Ross
14:17and pass it only to me.
14:19Where is she?
14:21She's following the lead on Zav.
14:34Are you going to ask me something?
14:36Anything.
14:38Because there are things I could be doing.
14:40I have to say that I'm disappointed in your answers.
14:46But you haven't asked me any questions.
14:49That's true.
14:51Let me think of a question.
14:54Okay.
14:56What would Harry Pearce do if you failed to report back in 24 hours?
15:01He might assume something like this had happened, no?
15:04Maybe he'd also assume you'd have been forthcoming by now.
15:08A fair assumption.
15:10Don't flatter yourself.
15:13How long till after his last officer disappeared
15:16did Harry Pearce wish Zaphire Eunice was already dead?
15:29Time is against you, wouldn't you say?
15:34Maybe we should have a little talk.
15:40Are the MOD people being any use?
15:43It's a mess, but I'm hearing no reports of contamination.
15:46The toxins work as a spike.
15:48So I hear.
15:50Still no sign of the black box?
15:52Incinerated, in all likelihood.
15:54Pity.
15:55It was our best shout for finding out who was responsible for the crash.
15:58We won't find anything on the plane.
16:00Still, when the contamination's been dealt with,
16:02we could have a team take a look at the fuselage.
16:04That's what we're doing now. I'm going down there to check it out.
16:06I'll let you know if anything points to hijack.
16:09Let me come with you. I can help you with the MOD people.
16:12It's not necessary. They're being very cooperative.
16:15This happened on my watch, too, Bob.
16:17I'd like to help.
16:20Fine. I'll pick you up in my car.
16:38I'm sorry.
16:54Tell the pilot I'm staying.
16:58Malcolm. Malcolm, they're here to take you out.
17:00There might be something they can do.
17:05Anyway, if I tell them to leave, they won't come back.
17:08I don't want them to come back.
17:10Joe told me the name of that stuff.
17:15It's not only that I don't want to leave you flapping in the wind, Adam,
17:18but we need to find out for ourselves what happened to that plane.
17:22Anyway, being kept alive for a few days, what sort of life is that?
17:26A few days is a few days.
17:28Not in the condition I'll be in, it's not.
17:33I'll have to speak to Harry.
17:34Come on, Adam.
17:35It would have been very unlike old hard-hearted Harry
17:38not to remind you that the operation takes precedence.
18:06Oh, that's better.
18:09I could barely think with all that racket.
18:12Well, I've dressed for it, so let's go.
18:15Come on.
18:18The camp.
18:20The Adventists believe that the enemies are human,
18:22but humans controlled by malevolent external forces
18:24whose ultimate aim is to control the Earth,
18:26while the Doomsdays believe that the appearance of alien assault on Earth
18:29is manufactured by human conspirators.
18:32The plane didn't come down because of anything this lot have done.
18:34The answers will be on the base.
18:53See you.
18:55Joss said you might join us.
18:57No, I'm joining.
19:00There's been a shed-load of activity the last few days.
19:03Strange lights, weird shapes in the sky and the crashed plane.
19:10The aliens have either arrived
19:11or the Squares are preparing for their arrival.
19:18I'm going to go and get a drink.
19:19I'm going to get a drink.
19:20I'm going to get a drink.
19:21I'm going to get a drink.
19:22I'm going to get a drink.
19:24Is there a light on?
19:27Yes.
19:28Did you ever lie to get out of trouble?
19:30Yes.
19:31Is your name Ross Myers?
19:33Yes.
19:35Did you ever commit an act of espionage
19:37against the United Kingdom or any of our allies?
19:39No.
19:41Were you involved with the bomb blast in Tehran?
19:44No.
19:49Was anyone from Section D involved in that bombing?
19:52No.
19:53Zafiounis?
19:55No.
20:01Do you know where he is?
20:04No.
20:06Are you at present involved with searching for Zafiounis?
20:10Yes.
20:12Are you aware of any operation being conducted at Halesworth Air Base?
20:16No.
20:18Stop!
20:19Stand aside!
20:20Get back!
20:21Get back!
20:22Fuck you!
20:23Prove it.
20:48Harvest Man, come on!
21:05Welcome home, Ross.
21:09We're not in Denmark, then?
21:11No, the plane just flew slowly round and round England
21:13for the amount of time it would have taken to fly to Denmark.
21:16There is no trail that leads to Zaf.
21:19We made that up.
21:20We took advantage of how much you wanted to find him.
21:22You used to be a government minister, didn't you?
21:25Now I'm known as Sholto.
21:43It's just cold water running through your veins, isn't it?
21:45We can use that.
21:47Do you work for Harry?
21:49No, I work for a group called Yalta.
21:54Any of you seen inside the wire?
21:56Trouble is, they catch you in there, you don't come back.
22:01Well, I'm going to go in tonight.
22:03Any of you are welcome to join me, but I know how busy you all are,
22:05sitting around bullshitting about everything.
22:07How do we know it's safe to go in there with you?
22:10How do we know you are who you say you are?
22:11I'm vouching for him.
22:15Look, I can't prove anything,
22:17but I know that since the crash, they're going to double the guard on that place
22:19and probably close this campsite down.
22:21Now, I imagine you've all had your fair share of extraterrestrials
22:24to last you a lifetime, but if you haven't, tonight's the night.
22:29If you're serious, I'll help you.
22:31I'm the only one who's been over there and made it back.
22:33Well, Vaz, you're going to need a diversion.
22:35A big diversion.
22:36Draw down all the square ends.
22:38Well, you lot can handle that, yeah?
22:39I'm coming in.
22:41Okay.
22:43We need to go in in daylight,
22:44because they doubled the guard at night.
22:47Anything?
22:48The cargo plane flew out from Stansted.
22:50All crew registered with the company for over five years.
22:52No form, all cargo checked before the flight by company
22:55and airport security.
22:56No bombs, no chemicals, no terrorists.
22:58Sounds completely innocuous.
22:59When did the MOD requisition the cargo?
23:01Well, that's the thing. The company didn't know the MOD had anything to do with the flight.
23:04The Americans fed us a line. Harry's on his way to Hillsworth.
23:12You okay?
23:26You okay?
23:39The Altar Treaty was an agreement made between three old men
23:41who were on their last legs.
23:43Stalin was paranoid, Roosevelt was in a wheelchair and in constant pain,
23:47and Churchill was either drunk or depressed.
23:49The result was that the Americans sold out Eastern Europe to the Russians
23:52with all those disastrous consequences.
23:54Our creed is that the Americans must be stopped
23:57before they embark on something equally inept and catastrophic.
24:00Hasn't that already happened?
24:03What you've seen is only the beginning.
24:07To achieve our ends, sometimes we favour European-based power,
24:10sometimes Russian, Chinese.
24:13We have representatives in the highest positions in governments
24:16and judiciaries across the world.
24:19When they approached me to join them,
24:21I soon realised where the real power was,
24:23and it wasn't with my dear ministerial colleagues
24:26sitting at the cabinet table, wringing their hands about hospital waiting lists.
24:30Ah!
24:39Trap motion detected.
24:57We need to get to my hut.
24:59Yes.
25:30Oh, my God, I hate you.
25:41Oh, my God!
25:42Oh, my God!
25:43Oh, my God!
25:44Oh, my God!
25:47What we just put you through was a recruitment test, Yalta-style.
25:51What do you want with someone like me?
25:52We can help you, as we want you to help us.
25:57You mean you want me to be a traitor?
25:59Not at all.
26:00We think our goals are in the interest of HMG, not against.
26:05If there's ever anything you feel you cannot act upon,
26:07then you must simply ignore it.
26:13So, where are the Americans working against our interests now?
26:18Your colleagues, your surviving colleagues.
26:22They're at that airbase today, aren't they?
26:25Oh, my God!
26:28Hey, you!
26:29Hello!
26:31Oh, my God!
26:32Oh, my God!
26:33Oh, my God!
26:45Oh, my God!
26:55Oh, my God!
27:00We wait here till dark.
27:02Take a rest, Malcolm. Get your breath back.
27:07There's only one building big enough to house a fuselage.
27:11Whatever the Americans are hiding is probably in there.
27:15In 1956,
27:18my father was with the Free Hungarian Army
27:20in the uprising that the Americans financed, promoted,
27:23and then abandoned.
27:27He was hanged.
27:30We managed to get out and came to England.
27:35Your father, how is he?
27:40As well as anyone in prison?
27:44We know of your involvement.
27:46You were very brave.
27:48Single-minded and yet loyal.
27:50That's a difficult call to make.
27:54We didn't just happen upon you, Ross.
28:01Zaf.
28:02You want to know what happened to him.
28:07Our people saw some men take Zaf into a deserted farmhouse.
28:10Sometime later, the men reappeared, but your man was not with them.
28:15We found his bloodied clothes.
28:21I'm sorry.
28:24Whoever it was, was capable of highly sophisticated tracking.
28:32I've sent you the defence intelligence personnel files.
28:35Might give us a clue as to who's covering up the security breach.
28:42Connie, the UFO guy is down at the base.
28:45I thought we ruled them out of any attack.
28:47Maybe we did, but something's not right here.
28:53Go, go, go.
29:20Copy that. All units, secure all entries.
29:23Ground crew, you're all clear.
29:35The decontamination unit got picked up.
29:37They were the ones alerted us to the leak.
29:39My guys is still no closer to knowing what brought it down.
29:42I'll show you the spec on the chemical make-up.
29:44Then we'll take a walk around.
29:46You can see for yourself what we've had to contend with.
29:51Barry.
29:53It's this way.
30:18Our friend, Mr Muppet, actually worked for the MOD.
30:21Some kind of spy on the UFO guys.
30:23Adam told me that...
30:25I have an old boyfriend.
30:27Yeah.
30:32Roz, you scared me.
30:37OK, Roz, you look all washed up.
30:39Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just worn out. Where are the others?
30:42Halesworth. A plane crashed.
30:45Malcolm, he's very sick.
30:47Adam's with him.
30:49Look, is there any way we can contact them?
30:51Only on a network the Americans can listen in to.
30:54So what have we learnt this end?
30:55Everything points to the infiltration of a cargo company.
30:58A hijack of their aircraft by suicide bombers
31:01who knew that the MOD were transporting toxic chemicals on board.
31:05It was either a bomb or a targeted kamikaze.
31:07So a UK plane cargoing toxic chemicals crashes into a US base.
31:13Dissident Iranians?
31:14That would seem to be the bookie's choice.
31:16But with their chemicals leaking all over the rather high-yield land
31:19rented by our rich cousins,
31:20the MOD are doing everything they can
31:22to ensure nobody discovers a security breach on a cargo plane as well.
31:27The MOD?
31:28How do we know they were carrying toxic chemicals?
31:30Well, Jo's ex-boyfriend gave us most of this.
31:33She's gone to see him now.
31:34OK.
31:36If there was a bomb on board, there would be traces of explosives.
31:39Also, the fuselage would have been ripped apart in a particular way.
31:52Malcolm, it might still be dangerous.
31:55Not for me.
31:58I've got a plan.
31:59I've got a plan.
32:00I've got a plan.
32:01I've got a plan.
32:02I've got a plan.
32:03I've got a plan.
32:04Not for me.
32:34Go, go.
32:54There's a new structure around the back of this building.
32:56I think we can access it from the inside.
32:58Right.
32:59That was no bomb, and there's no sign of the black box.
33:04This way.
33:12Alan, is it?
33:14How's the missus?
33:16Your first mistake was bringing me in.
33:19You're out of your depth on this one, really.
33:22So now you've got me really curious.
33:24You told me the MOD transported toxic chemicals on that flight,
33:28but the cargo company had no record of any MOD requisition.
33:31I thought that was just you lot covering your tracks,
33:33but the MOD were only called to the scene by the Americans.
33:36You didn't have a clue. That's why we can't trust you.
33:39We work for the Americans. We depend on them for our national security.
33:43There is no toxic spillage, is there?
33:46It's made up.
33:48Something cooked up by the Americans to make sure we steered well clear
33:51averted our eyes from what really happened.
33:54What was it, Alan?
33:57Some surface-to-air missile training exercise gone horribly wrong,
34:00or was it one of their new Tomcats needed some target practice?
34:04You think that's funny?
34:10Three crewmen incinerated.
34:13Our colleagues in the crosshairs of the people that you're trying to protect.
34:19What about that bloke you've got babysitting that misfit bunch of hippies?
34:23What's his mandate?
34:25What's he going to do if they see something they shouldn't?
34:27Do his duty.
34:29Do you know what would happen if information from the base got into the wrong hands?
34:31What information is that? What are you protecting?
34:34That's a little over your pay scale, Jojo.
34:37Let me warn you.
34:39Your people are already too close.
34:44What are you protecting, Alan?
34:47When certain people discover my absence,
34:50things will start to go very badly for you.
34:53For you, Jo.
34:55The past won't matter anymore, I'm afraid.
34:58You don't know, do you?
35:01You've just been fed lines and you're parroting them.
35:04You're not in that pay scale either.
35:06You sad bastard.
35:08You'd really sacrifice your own countrymen, without knowing why,
35:12for some puppy-dog allegiance to some far-off empire?
35:15Of course I know why.
35:17Aurora.
35:19Heard of it?
35:22Thought not.
35:24Now let me go.
35:25Sorry, Al.
35:27Jojo will let you know when you can see daylight.
35:41You stay here and keep a lookout, yeah? Just in case anyone comes in.
35:44No, I go where you go. Just to be safe.
35:52Come on.
36:05That's it.
36:07Baz, you go back and keep an eye on the stairs while I sort out the camera, yeah?
36:10Okay.
36:12Give me your bag. I need a mirror.
36:16...
36:26I suppose you wonder why I'm doing this in my state.
36:30You're focusing on the mission.
36:32Doing yourself proud.
36:34Actually, I'm doing it to keep my mind busy.
36:37Tell me, when you were gripped by the virus,
36:40were you just thinking of getting those vaccines to the hospital?
36:43Saving those people?
36:45No.
36:47I was thinking about how much I wanted to see my son.
36:50Then how can you carry on doing it, day after day?
36:56I don't have a son, but I'm not sure my mother would want to see me with my hair falling out.
37:00Multiple organ failure? I don't think that's what I want to leave her with.
37:04What does she think you do? What night have you told her?
37:06Accountancy? IT?
37:09She thinks I do what you do.
37:12And here you are doing it.
37:14You should have been out there doing this with us years ago.
37:22I'll stay with you.
37:24You know that.
37:26Thank you.
37:33Harry, I'm going to have to talk with the officers here about this,
37:35so you might have to settle for the ten cents tour.
37:39There.
37:40What?
37:41What? I saw someone in the shadows.
37:43You're sure?
37:44Something moved.
37:45It's G-block. The other side of the base.
37:50I need a transit to G-block with armed escorts.
37:57Ross.
38:00What's Aurora?
38:09Is this it? Is this what I heard?
38:13Let's find out.
38:38What?
38:59My God.
39:00What is it?
39:01Aurora.
39:02What?
39:03This isn't a Predator control unit.
39:05It's an ENCODE named Aurora replaced for the DS-71.
39:08It exists.
39:09What's it doing in this country?
39:11I don't know. It shouldn't be here. There's been no official approval.
39:14Somewhere here there should be its RRS recording system.
39:16Then we'll know where it's been.
39:18Do you think Aurora's what they've been seeing all along?
39:20Quite possibly.
39:21This machine is as good as a black box. It's a spy plane.
39:23If there was a bomb or a collision, it should be able to tell us.
39:25I'll see if I can send the RRS system to the grid.
39:35Malcolm's sending over all his downloads to us.
39:37He needs the encryption broken.
39:39Well, if he can contact us, we can contact him.
39:48It's just Muppet. He'd love this.
39:50They're back. Wait.
39:52You guys really shouldn't be in here, you know.
39:54Are you joking?
39:55I told you to keep watch.
39:58So you can sabotage military hardware?
40:00Muppet, what are you doing?
40:03The security panel. Trip the alarm.
40:06Go on. Get up. Do it.
40:09Fine.
40:12You win.
40:16Go on. Push it. Push it!
40:25Nice one, Giles.
40:28He's one of them.
40:30Don't worry. He'll live.
40:43Clear!
40:45Sir, we found nothing.
40:47Maybe it was a cat or something.
40:49Sir, we're experiencing power failure in secure area Alpha 30.
40:54Ops, we have runway lights down. We need to switch to emergency backup.
40:58Give me some security to Sector 4.
41:00Let's go.
41:04We're going to have to split up.
41:06Giles will slow us down. I'll stay with him.
41:08You go on ahead. See if you can cause some trouble on the different route.
41:10Don't worry. I won't let a squarehead scare us.
41:14Just remember, they could be anywhere.
41:18A squeaky boot.
41:20I should have known.
41:21Come on.
41:23Come on.
41:36Come on. Get out of here.
41:44Check out all the buildings on the east side perimeter.
41:46Yes, sir.
41:47That was no protest back there. That was a diversion.
41:53Come on.
41:56I can get a signal in here. There's a message from the grid.
42:00They've broken the encryption.
42:02Aurora made two journeys of note.
42:05The first was a short one, up and out of Halesworth,
42:08circling back over the North Sea, then straight into the airport.
42:12The time and place of the flight correspond with the bringing down of the cargo plane.
42:16So it was a collision?
42:17Well, if you look at the dates, you'll see it hasn't flown since.
42:20So maybe it crashed as well. At least it was damaged.
42:24I said there were two flights.
42:27The dates, time and place correspond exactly with Zaf's journey back from Iran.
42:31And his disappearance.
42:37My God.
42:39They were behind it.
42:43If they were able to track Zaf back from Iran and ambush him.
42:45They knew about our train operation in Tehran.
42:47They used us to bring about the carnage with the blast.
42:51The Americans were running Copenhagen.
42:55They've been lying to us about everything.
42:57No wonder they're so keen to stop us.
43:01Help me if the Americans find us.
43:02Right.
43:04Sir, take a look at this.
43:07Who the hell is that?
43:08You're being overrun by ufologists, Bob.
43:11Runway two.
43:12Who the hell is that?
43:13You're being overrun by ufologists, Bob.
43:16Runway two.
43:17700 yards, heading towards the perimeter.
43:23Harry.
43:39Come on, Mark. One last go.
43:41We've come all this way.
43:42Anyway, I'm not leaving anyone else behind.
43:46You didn't leave Zaf.
44:00Thank you, Connie.
44:03Oh, yes.
44:07Here you are.
44:11How easy is it, I wonder,
44:13to cover up the collision of an illegal spy plane?
44:17To persuade the Ministry of Defence
44:19to admit to cargoing non-existent toxic chemicals.
44:23To persuade them to stonewall their own intelligence officers.
44:28Out of interest.
44:31What have you got on them?
44:33Nothing.
44:34They're just desperate for us to base our anti-ballistic missile intercept stations here
44:38so they can be part of their running
44:40and continue to dine at the top table.
44:43A fair swap for the lives of three civilian aircrew.
44:48Would the MOD have acquiesced, I wonder,
44:50if they knew the unspeakable things which Aurora knows?
44:55Harry,
44:57the 14th century was calamitous for the West.
45:01At the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396,
45:05a crusader army fought a heroic combat against the Islamic army.
45:10It was a catastrophic defeat, effectively the end of the Crusades.
45:14But that battle is still going on.
45:17It was all this to do with the capture and torture of my officer.
45:20That wasn't my doing.
45:22Our hired guns turned on us.
45:23You wanted to know what we knew.
45:25Well, let me save you any further bother.
45:27Your agency, calling itself Copenhagen,
45:29fed us false intelligence
45:31in order to ensure that we created a bioweapons spillage in Tehran.
45:34So whatever happened in Tehran,
45:36the United Nations is now aware of Iran's illegal development of WMDs,
45:39which is hardly a bad thing.
45:41Bob, I don't want to hear America's repellent self-justification.
45:44We're close to the edge here.
45:46You and I have to work out a better MO,
45:48otherwise it'll be Nicopolis all over again,
45:50with you and I on opposite sides.
45:52And this time, it'll be the calamitous 21st century.
46:02Adam?
46:05It's a plane.
46:08No.
46:09It's Aurora.
46:11I want to see this.
46:12Malcolm, they're not just going to stop coming after us because there's a fence.
46:15What's the worst thing they can do to me?
46:18They'll think of something.
46:19You don't have to stay.
46:20Adam, they're not just going to stop coming after us because there's a fence.
46:22What's the worst thing they can do to me?
46:25They'll think of something.
46:26You don't have to stay.
46:51When Voltaire was on his deathbed,
46:53the priests tried to persuade him to renounce the devil.
46:57He said this was no time to be going around making enemies.
47:01I've always admired that.
47:04Malcolm.
47:07I think maybe there's something I should tell you.
47:10What?
47:12You're not contaminated. You're not dying.
47:15What do you mean?
47:16There's no killing.
47:18What do you mean?
47:19There's no chemicals.
47:22How do you know?
47:24They were just trying to scare us all off.
47:26I can see it now.
47:28It's how these people think.
47:30But I felt it was fear.
47:34I...
47:36I got a signal again.
47:38Joe's old flame, Alan, came clean.
47:41You bastard.
47:44Why didn't you tell me?
47:46Because that Malcolm was invincible.
47:49He wasn't going to die on some crappy airbase.
47:52He was going to get us out.
48:07You OK?
48:08Yeah, I'm fine.
48:11I was wondering what was happening to you I was worrying about.
48:15I'm fine.
48:18It's funny watching Malcolm go through all that shit today.
48:21It reminded me that you and me live like that all the time.
48:27It made me realise how easy it is to end up not having any intimacy in your life.
48:34I wasn't aware you were living a monk-like existence, Adam.
48:38Look, Ros...
48:40Yes?
48:44I'm sorry things didn't work out in Denmark.
48:47You were right to insist on going.
48:50Who did you meet with?
48:52Like you said, didn't work out.
48:55That's the sort of answer I give.
48:58I get all my best stuff from you, Adam. Always said it.
49:02We had an agreement.
49:05You were supposed to call in.
49:08You were supposed to call in, remember?
49:14What happened?
49:20Ros, you can talk to me again, please.
49:25The Iranians.
49:28How's your source there?
49:32It's too early to tell.
49:38Thank you.
49:58Hi.
50:00I wanted to explain why we needed those documents.
50:03Adam, do you know how difficult it is for me to get here?
50:08I came anyway.
50:13I'm not the first acid you've brought back here on the pretense of a debriefing, am I?
50:23Don't you know me at all?
50:38It's good to have you back, Ros.
50:41This belonged to Zal.
50:43Who's going to tell his family?
50:47I might understand if that was the price for bringing us back to where we were with Iran.
50:52And how does that help with the peace?
50:55We'll get there, with or without the help of our American cousins.
50:58Do you really believe that?
51:00I have to.
51:02We're a team. We'll pull together.
51:08I don't feel like being honoured, not publicly, not privately, not at all.
51:12Oh, don't be so snooty.
51:14Besides, giving a key to someone in the security service is merely a way for the government to rubber-stamp themselves.
51:19It isn't about you.
51:21I'll try and remember my place.
51:37I'm sorry.
51:38I think we can help each other.
52:07Yeah.
