01:01Thanks for coming.
01:02Hey, no problem.
01:03Why am I here?
01:05In less than a week, America will launch surgical airstrikes at Iran's nuclear facilities.
01:09Yeah, unless the United Nations can talk them out of it.
01:11It's likely that Iran will respond with a tactical nuclear strike.
01:13This is already coming down the wire from Washington correspondents.
01:16Thanks and whatever, but I don't need a deep throat to tell me this.
01:19Adam, why am I here?
01:22The sequence of events that led to this point began with a train bomb in Tehran.
01:32Everybody, there's a bomb! Get on your desks!
01:35The bomb was detonated by MI5.
01:38I personally couriered it to Tehran.
01:40An officer named Zafar Younis planted the bomb.
01:43It turns out we were acting on intelligence fabricated by the Americans
01:46who wish to expose Iran's biological weapons program to the world
01:49and thus precipitate a hot war, the war that we just don't seem to be able to stop.
01:52I'll give you the whole story.
01:55I've stashed documented proof. It's on a memory stick.
01:59No 45-minute claims. No spin.
02:02No government intervention. Hard proof.
02:05You're going to give me a story that could topple the government
02:08and see the Home Secretary indicted for war crimes?
02:10You could end the special relationship forever
02:12and bring about such international condemnation
02:14that America will be forced to rethink its airstrikes.
02:16It's also the biggest story you'll ever break.
02:18If you're going to give me a story like this, I've got no choice but to run with it.
02:21Then you'll be hanging yourself.
02:24So I need to know why.
02:27I've had enough.
02:29It's also time America was brought to account for the mess it's created.
02:32Those don't sound like the words of a spy.
02:34Yeah, well, I don't think I'm a spy anymore.
02:37Listen, I need time to sort everything out.
02:40My resignation among them.
02:43Give me 48 hours.
02:45Meanwhile, say nothing, please.
02:50Let's put an end to it once and for all.
02:58Let's put an end to it once and for all.
03:15Let's put an end to it once and for all.
03:27What's happened?
03:29Section D has been suspended pending full investigation of the Rosmeyers affair.
03:34Putting aside for a moment the fervor of those currently rifling through our personal effects,
03:38please know that this suspension has no reflection on you or your service to this country.
03:48Well, I guess I'll see you all later, then.
03:54Accept it, Anna. Don't waste your anger.
03:57I'm sorry.
04:00Accept it, Anna. Don't waste your anger.
04:06A drink, I think.
04:08Under the circumstances, an excellent idea.
04:10Cricketers.
04:30Ben. Hi.
04:33Um, listen, are you busy?
04:36Because as it turns out, I'm not.
04:40OK.
04:42Ben. Yeah, it's Adam.
04:44Call me back as soon as you get this message.
04:47There's been some unexpected developments. I've had to bring things forward a little bit.
04:51I'm en route to the documents we discussed, so...
04:54Yeah, we need to meet. Today.
05:00They made me give up my passcodes. I'm really cheesed off.
05:03You know, my aunt used to say,
05:05love your enemies in case your friends turn out to be bastards.
05:08If you want loyalty, Malcolm, buy a dog.
05:10Connie, do you know Tony?
05:11Large.
05:12Naturally.
05:19I'm sorry.
05:21I'm sorry.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:25I'm sorry.
05:27I'm sorry.
05:34Hey. Hey.
05:36Drink? Sure.
05:45Hi, Connie. How you doing?
05:49You scared?
05:51Yes.
05:54Should be.
05:57But you were always clever like that, weren't you?
06:00Always the clever one, Connie.
06:02David, that was a long time ago in a different world.
06:05But the dead are still dead, for all that.
06:09Why is it that men like you are always so full of self-pity?
06:15I have some information for you now.
06:18I want you to pass it on.
06:20To Harry.
06:21Just like the old days.
06:23What information?
06:25There's a bomb in London today.
06:27A car bomb. I want you there.
06:29All of you.
06:32Don't contact the services.
06:34You do, then I'll know.
06:37And tell me what I'll do.
06:40You'll detonate the bomb at random?
06:42Blow a few kids to hamburger.
06:44Some coppers. A few tourists.
06:47Where is it?
06:49Stay by that phone.
06:51And do what I say.
06:53When I say.
06:56You'll know soon enough where it is.
06:59Oh, and...
07:02Be sure and tell Harry
07:04that I'm back for him.
07:16Connie, what happened?
07:19Davy King.
07:23Just said to tell you he's back for you.
07:25For all of us.
07:27Gave you this.
07:32He wants the whole team and he wants to do it his way.
07:36Davy King likes to kill multiple targets using a single explosive device.
07:40He rounds them up.
07:42And then he blows them up.
07:44But he can't round us up, can he? Not the whole team.
07:46He can't make us go where he wants, do what he wants.
07:48We have to go back to the grid.
07:50No.
07:51Connie, I need you safe and properly debriefed.
07:54What's the point?
07:56You know him. He's got a bomb. He'll use it to kill you.
07:59If you don't turn up, he'll send the services.
08:01He'll kill the innocents instead and he'll go on killing them
08:03until you cave in and do as he demands.
08:06He'll never stop.
08:08Contact you on that phone.
08:11That's all I have to give.
08:12He'll come for you.
08:14You'll be alone.
08:15Then let him come.
08:17I will not be rounded up like livestock.
08:20I will not.
08:38Harry.
08:39Mr Home Secretary, I urgently require renewed full security status
08:43for myself and my officers.
08:45My team is under imminent threat of assassination.
08:47I also have reason to believe there's a terrorist attack planned today in London.
08:50Wait, wait, wait. Slow down.
08:52Are we talking Al Qaeda? Iran? What?
08:54We're talking a walking ghost with a death wish.
08:56Ex-IRA killer named Davy King.
08:58So what is it? A Republican splinter group?
09:01Something ought to get them more intimate, I'm afraid.
09:03Well, then the last place you need to be is back in the grid.
09:06You give me what you have and I'll get another section onto it.
09:08With respect, another section would have limited application.
09:11I know King. I know the way he thinks, the way he works.
09:14We got a file on his man?
09:16His IRA code reference is J22F.
09:18You can see for yourself what we're dealing with.
09:20Well, that's all we need.
09:21That is not all we need.
09:23I will not have British intelligence officers, suspended officers,
09:25running about the streets of London playing out some moth-eaten personal vendetta.
09:29Or playing piggy in the middle with British lives.
09:31Now, you give me the information and you go to ground. Do you understand?
09:40What did he say?
09:41You know, I didn't quite catch it.
09:43Malcolm, I'm enacting the Sunstrike Protocol.
09:45We need to get Adam and Joe off the streets as soon as possible.
09:48Hurry. Say nothing. I'm invoking the Sunstrike Protocol.
10:13There's a place you know about. It belongs to me.
10:15Be there as soon as you can.
10:18Shit.
10:21They warn you, when you first join the service,
10:25that they just use you while they can, and then...
10:28But it doesn't make it any easier. If anything, it makes it worse,
10:31because you think of all the things you've done, all the times you might have died, and...
10:37Do you know how much I get paid for that privilege, by the way?
10:40To risk being blown apart in the line of duty.
10:43Because if you want a really good laugh, ask me.
10:46Ask me about my salary.
10:50What's your salary?
10:52Don't ask.
11:07A man called Davy King has planted a car bomb somewhere in London.
11:11It's due to detonate at 6pm.
11:13He's going to send us after the bomb and try to kill us with it.
11:15He's done it before.
11:16It's a very messy but efficient form of mass assassination.
11:19It's just the entire inventory.
11:21I did find half a pack of mummified cigarettes.
11:23Oh, a cassette tape of Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album.
11:26I've been looking for that.
11:27Also, a rather elderly Model 10 Smith & Wesson revolver with no firing pin.
11:30It's utterly useless, I'm afraid.
11:32You'll have to forgive the rather discouraging ambiance.
11:35My interior designer was going through a painful divorce.
11:38Joe's not responding to the emergency signal.
11:41What?
11:44We have to go and get her.
11:45The point of the Sunstrike protocol is to regroup in safety.
11:48We make our best endeavours to contact Joe,
11:50but until she responds, she's on her own.
11:53I'm not sure I can abide by that.
11:57This could be all my fault.
11:59What?
12:00I went to Captain.
12:02You went to Captain?
12:04Why?
12:06To blow the whistle on the Tehran bomb.
12:08Nuclear weapons, all of it.
12:14People have a right to know what's being done in their name, Harry.
12:17It is not your right to inform them, Adam.
12:19And it most certainly is not your job.
12:21It's not my job any more. I'm done with it.
12:23And this is your revenge? Is it for losing Ros?
12:25Or hadn't you planned on taking us all down with you?
12:27Be assured, you and I will discuss this in detail in the very near future.
12:31Until then, we deal with the situation as it stands.
12:35So call in MI5, SO19...
12:37We can't.
12:39Davey holds all the strings.
12:41If we try and cut them, he'll detonate the bomb at random.
12:44He'll ensure innocent people pay the price.
12:47So we stay down. We tell MI5 nothing.
12:50You're talking about a completely rogue operation.
12:52I'm talking about protecting British lives.
12:55Davey should not even have been allowed to set foot inside the country.
12:58Someone used a great deal of influence to make that happen.
13:01And whoever that someone might be is our real enemy here.
13:04So if you insist on walking out that door and alerting MI5,
13:08then I'm afraid you'll have to go through me to do it.
13:11I don't know what you're talking about.
13:13I don't know what you're talking about.
13:15I don't know what you're talking about.
13:17I don't know what you're talking about.
13:19I don't know what you're talking about.
13:21I don't know what you're talking about.
13:23I don't know what you're talking about.
13:25I don't know what you're talking about.
13:27I don't know what you're talking about.
13:29I don't know what you're talking about.
13:31I don't know what you're talking about.
13:33I don't know what you're talking about.
13:35I don't know what you're talking about.
13:37I don't know what you're talking about.
13:39I don't know what you're talking about.
13:55Pierce is pissing in his panties.
13:57I'm sure he's gathering his team to his bosom right now.
14:00As soon as I've run them all to ground, I'll do the deed.
14:03But first, I need a phone trace to locate the journalist Kaplan.
14:07You understand there's a limit to what I can do at this end?
14:10You can do this. And you will.
14:13I need to nibble around Harry's edges a little more, get him good and spooked.
14:16I'll see if it can be done. No promises.
14:19You understand there's to be no collateral damage. Absolutely none.
14:23We won't have a single innocent life put at risk.
14:25Collateral damage? Are they still calling it that?
14:28Just do the job. No mess.
14:31Break the terms of this agreement and we'll have you smeared across the road like a skid mark.
14:36Ha-ha. Ha-ha.
14:45Snapdragon was an IRA code word.
14:48It was called in 40 minutes before the Cookstown bomb in 1984.
14:52The caller also gave the registration of the vehicle in which the bomb was planted.
14:56BWU-731K will be the licence plate.
15:00The toll that day was three men, two women, all civilians.
15:03A little schoolgirl, seven years old, and two MI5 officers.
15:06Who were the intended targets, I take it?
15:09Davey was Connie's man inside the IRA.
15:12The Cookstown bomb was his resignation.
15:15After that particular atrocity I went to some lengths to take him down
15:19and in the process I did things of which I am still ashamed today.
15:22Then that war was over and like good soldiers we turned away from the battlefield.
15:26He still sends me a Christmas card every year addressed to Thames House.
15:30Season's greetings, Harry. Draws a little smiley face after my name.
15:35Whoever contracted this man is someone who knows your history.
15:39That's highly classified information.
15:41Juliet. No.
15:43But if she or Yowter wants to...
15:45This is not Juliet.
15:46I know you're angry and I know you're scared.
15:48Do I look scared to you?
15:50No.
15:52But you should.
15:54Because whoever's doing this is exploiting your greatest weakness.
15:57It's someone who knows your attitude towards the IRA is...
16:00Unresolved.
16:01Yeah, unresolved.
16:02They're trying to get inside your head, Harry.
16:04They want you to make bad decisions based on rage and the desire for revenge.
16:08That's from the mouth of an expert.
16:10Yeah, from the mouth of an expert.
16:13I know how you're feeling.
16:15And I know the corrosive effect it can have.
16:17This is not Juliet.
16:19Juliet would never authorise the use of a bomb on the streets of London.
16:27No.
16:47How'd you get in?
16:49You left your key under the mat.
16:54It's not you, is it, Bob?
16:58No.
17:04You gonna stab me with your knitting needles?
17:08They watch the doors, you know.
17:10MI5, they know you're in here.
17:12I'll leave them in the laundry truck with the rest of the dirty washing.
17:17So this guy, King, what does he want from me?
17:19Well, he naturally has American connections.
17:21You sure of this?
17:23In 1980, I flew him to New York.
17:26He supplied the IRA with a large shipment of explosives.
17:29Kept them in business for quite a while.
17:31Made them terribly grateful.
17:33Well, whoever set him on you, it wasn't us.
17:36And I think you already know this.
17:39Well, what do you know, Bob?
17:41I don't know if there's a direct connection,
17:43but we've been keeping a close watch on Dariush Bakshi.
17:46Your Home Secretary's policy advisor, Jason Belling,
17:49has been making slippery little visits, back-door jobs.
17:53Whatever he's doing, he's not dropping off grapes in lifestyle magazines.
17:56What are they discussing?
17:58Who can tell?
18:00We're pretty curious, obviously.
18:02But whatever it is, it looks like they want you guys out of the way
18:05so they can achieve it.
18:09Feels weird being out of phone contact.
18:13Sorry. This seems like an umbilical cord.
18:15Oh, hey. People say no longer after, remember?
18:18Someone else's turn to save the day.
18:21I can't relax. I've just got to check in.
18:30Oh, my God.
18:32What?
18:39It's Joe.
18:41Arlana, this is Sunstrike Control. Do you understand me?
18:43This is Sunstrike Control.
18:45What's your condition?
18:47Um, Control, I'm fine.
18:50Even out of contact?
18:52Yeah, I had my phone off.
18:55Have you been home?
18:56No.
18:57Are you alone?
18:58Yeah.
18:59Good. Don't go home. Don't go anywhere you're known.
19:01Be at Albert Smith in one hour. Don't be late. And come alone.
19:04You're actually freaking me out a bit here. Is this a drill?
19:06Negative on that, Arlana. This is not a drill.
19:08Be alert to a white male, 5'11", dark, with a ponytail.
19:11If spotted, do not intercept.
19:13Ditch your phone. Don't call this number.
19:15As soon as I hang up, it's out of commission, OK?
19:18Watch your back, Arlana.
19:20And be at Albert Smith in an hour.
19:22What's going on?
19:23Shut up.
19:30Don't move.
19:46I didn't know you carried a gun.
19:48I don't.
19:50I think we should go.
19:55Can't leave him just standing here, waiting to be assassinated.
19:58It's not called a safe house for nothing.
20:00Davy King's the predator today, and we're the prey.
20:03Which means Moscow rules apply.
20:05We treat London as enemy territory, keep our heads down,
20:07and keep our heads down.
20:09And we're the prey.
20:11Which means Moscow rules apply.
20:13We treat London as enemy territory, keep our heads down,
20:15wait for an opening, and then move.
20:17There's something I could do.
20:19Using this here might reveal our location,
20:21but I could use someone else's ISP if I'm permitted to leave.
20:25Be careful, Malcolm.
20:28Where are you going?
20:30Looking after Joe.
20:42How did you find us?
20:44I've known about this place since 1991.
20:46Do you want to know what I've been up to or not?
20:48Very much.
20:50And you might want to hear this before you go rushing off.
21:42Can I have a double espresso, please?
22:02What was all that about?
22:04Adam gave me directions to a safe house.
22:06Said he's heading elsewhere.
22:09And he wished me luck.
22:11I don't think he's ever wished me luck before.
22:19Jason.
22:21Bob Hogan.
22:23I'd like to take you for a ride in my car.
22:26I'm a bit pushed for time tonight, Bob.
22:28Yes, I know.
22:31Let's get in the car.
22:39Oh, please, feel free to select anything from this list
22:42which resembles a brown caffeinated liquid in a cup
22:45with a dash of semi-skimmed milk and half a teaspoon of sugar.
22:58You two?
23:01Joe and I were at the...
23:03at the movies. Sorry.
23:05So who are we dealing with?
23:07A bad man and a bomb in just over two hours.
23:10Mr Kaplan, you and I need to have a very serious chat.
23:13But first, I hope you took your mother's advice about clean underwear
23:16because we'd like you to strip.
23:18Don't worry. We promise not to laugh.
23:21Trousers first.
23:38So, you dragged me out to this shithole.
23:43What next? Are we going to have a little kiss?
23:45I have some information that may be of some personal relevance.
23:49It concerns Harry Pearce.
23:52The spook.
23:54The spook?
23:56The spook.
23:58The spook.
24:00The spook.
24:02The spook.
24:04The spook.
24:06The spook. What about him?
24:08Close your eyes and concentrate, Jason. I expect it'll come to you.
24:36Gorgeous.
24:40I said, call him off.
24:43Carter, right? MI5?
24:45You know damn well who I am.
24:48What is it, Jason?
24:50You found out I was planning to blow the whistle on the Tehran bomb.
24:53Biological weapons on the streets of London.
24:55If the British people found out about that, it'd be the end of you,
24:58the end of everyone like you, the end of this government
25:00and the end of whatever you've been cooking up with Darius Bakshi.
25:03Run out by me once more and I'm from the top.
25:06Stop! Call him off!
25:08What's the matter with you?
25:12You think you're a big smart game, baby, keen to do your wet work.
25:15But you're out of your depth. You don't know what you've got yourself into.
25:17Call him off before it's too late.
25:21I heard the rumours you've gone a bit funny in the head,
25:23but I didn't know how funny. You're having a laugh, sunshine.
25:26He's planted a bomb.
25:28Innocent people are going to die.
25:31If you can't call him off, admit it. Just admit it.
25:34Tell me where he is and let me stop him.
25:42Two hours. Two hours!
25:47If you wanted us dead, this isn't the way.
25:51This is not the way.
25:53Oh!
25:58Jesus Christ almighty, come on.
26:00Give him up. Davy King, now.
26:03There's nothing to give up.
26:06You better think about what you're doing if you don't want to spend the rest of your life
26:09medicated in a padded room, dribbling down your chin.
26:12Oh, I've thought about it.
26:14I'm going to execute the man who ordered my death and the death of my friends.
26:20Well, then you're going to have to execute me.
26:24You're obviously pathological.
26:26Because anything I say, you'll twist it to fit your delusional framework.
26:31That's what psychotics do.
26:54I'm being visited by dead people.
26:58Ah, so they're on to you, are they?
27:00Percy and his little team of munchkins.
27:02They know who's after them.
27:04Carter did have a polite word, yeah.
27:06He told me that you intend to use a bomb. Well, that can't happen.
27:09We won't stand for the death of British civilians.
27:11No, but Harry, he'd rather die.
27:14That's kind of the point.
27:15The point is...
27:16The point is, it's about control.
27:19I threaten civilians.
27:21Therefore, I control Harry Pearce and his team.
27:24I use that as leverage to gather them in one place
27:27and then blow them over two square miles of central London.
27:30A bullet in the base of the skull would be quicker.
27:33Oh, would it?
27:35Oh, so now you're an expert on the killing of multiple targets.
27:40So, let's suppose I execute one of them with a bullet to the brain.
27:45The rest of them go underground.
27:47You're going to hunt them down for me, are you?
27:50You're going to line them up for me, are you?
27:52And you're going to manage to do this
27:54before one of them gets to me or to you.
27:58I'm doing this my way.
28:00So, be a good chap and shut your mouth.
28:06Well, you got him.
28:08Doesn't help.
28:09Benning couldn't kill King off even if he wanted to.
28:11Not now he's got a whiff of fear.
28:13Benning couldn't kill King off even if he wanted to.
28:15Not now he's got a whiff of Harry's blood.
28:17And he could be anywhere in Greater London.
28:19609 square miles.
28:20There's nowhere to find him and not enough time.
28:22In less than two hours that bomb detonates.
28:24Scores of innocent people die or we do.
28:26There's some choice.
28:28There's no choice at all. King knows it.
28:31Signation. Give me 48 hours. Say nothing.
28:35The registration number belongs to a London taxi.
28:38It was sold at auction two days ago.
28:40Buying cars at auction is an old IRA tactic.
28:42My father was a taxi driver. He's taunting me.
28:51I told you not to talk.
28:52I didn't.
28:54Back off.
28:55Adam, he's clean.
28:57They tried to get to him too. I was there. I saw it.
28:59They must have been following me. I don't know.
29:02Joe's right, Adam.
29:04He knows nothing.
29:05For better or for worse, Mr Kaplan is now on our side of this equation.
29:21I can help you.
29:22You can help by keeping your mouth shut, listening and doing what you're told.
29:25Jason Belling?
29:27Connie was right. Belling contracted Davy King.
29:30But Belling's not in control here. He's useless to us.
29:32So what's the next step?
29:33I said shut up and listen.
29:34If you want to live today, just shut up and listen.
29:36It's my life too. I'm allowed an opinion.
29:38Your life doesn't matter.
29:40Neither does mine or hers or his or hers or his.
29:44So shut up and let us do our job.
29:46Right, how long do we have?
29:4890 minutes.
29:49OK, we have the registration and the time of the explosion.
29:52Davy King's controlling all the other variables here,
29:54but we don't have to just sit back and take it.
29:56We take what we know and we use what we have.
29:58So what do we have?
30:00Habits.
30:01Bondmakers are creatures of habit.
30:03It's their psychology.
30:04They use a tried and tested method,
30:06usually with no more than incremental refinements.
30:08He's right, of course.
30:09So what do we know about King's bombs?
30:11Pretty much everything.
30:14I instructed him how to make them.
30:16Jesus.
30:17No, Jesus had very little to do with it.
30:24All right, Special Consul.
30:26Cards on the table.
30:29At 4am, the Prime Minister ended a long conference call with the American President.
30:33Airstrikes on Iran will commence in 36 hours.
30:36Britain will have no choice but to lend her support.
30:39Unless you and I finalise this deal,
30:42our two countries will be at war.
30:45Pius, Carter.
30:48They don't deserve this,
30:50but their knowledge is dangerous to me,
30:52and where this is so, I cannot cooperate.
30:55Not even in the face of war?
30:57Especially in the face of war.
30:59If we are to proceed, Mr Belling,
31:01Pius and his team must be eliminated.
31:04There is no alternative.
31:06They'll be dead in an hour.
31:08Then, in an hour, you and I can talk.
31:13So, if Davy King was the turncoat,
31:15the one who betrayed you,
31:17what would you do?
31:19I would kill him.
31:21I would kill him.
31:23I would kill him.
31:25I would kill him.
31:27I would kill him.
31:29I would kill him.
31:31I would kill him.
31:33I would kill him.
31:35The one who betrayed you?
31:37Why does he hate you so much?
31:40It's none of your business. You don't need to know.
31:42If I am going to die today, the least I deserve is to know why.
31:46He's right, Adam.
31:48Davy personally eviscerated
31:51the very network he was put in place to protect.
31:54A number of fine officers died the kind of death that haunts one's dreams.
31:58Our intelligence structures were severely disrupted.
32:02Not all Davy's victims were British spies or traitors to the cause.
32:06In the end, it just got so he liked it.
32:08We tried to make him stop,
32:10to send a message that indiscriminate murder was not acceptable,
32:12even in that dirty war.
32:14We couldn't punish him directly,
32:16so we punished him indirectly.
32:18We planted evidence, entirely false evidence,
32:22that Davy's father was a British informant.
32:25The father was picked up, interrogated.
32:27He was a very decent man, a taxi driver.
32:31They found his body naked, dumped in the street.
32:34This was done under my command.
32:36It was the single filthiest order I ever gave,
32:39and it didn't work.
32:42This is Davy's game now. He's waited long enough to play it.
32:51Davy.
32:52I'm about ready for the off, Harry.
32:54Just give me the location.
32:56Patience?
32:57Patience is just procrastination without the anxiety.
32:59Let's get this over with.
33:01I admire your get-go attitude, Harry. I really do.
33:04But now you're going to need to listen to me.
33:06Listening.
33:08All of you, including the journalist Kaplan,
33:11are to stand within three feet of the car.
33:13Any further than three feet, and I will detonate the bomb.
33:17Attempt to summon emergency services, and I will detonate the bomb.
33:21Come armed or equipped in any way, and I will detonate the bomb.
33:25Once you have gathered in accordance with all these stipulations,
33:28I will allow you 30 seconds to clear all civilians of the blast area.
33:33Think of it as a kind of cooperation bonus.
33:38If you fail to comply in any way, I will detonate the bomb.
33:44Many will die.
33:46Tomorrow, I'll come back for more.
33:50All clear now?
33:52Give me the location.
33:54Gabriel Plaza.
33:56I will detonate at 6pm.
33:59See you there, old chum.
34:01That's one hour.
34:03Gabriel Plaza.
34:07This is Gabriel Plaza, enclosed on three sides by commercial buildings.
34:11Here, here and here, and overlooked by a fourth here.
34:14David will want direct line of sight to confirm our presence.
34:17He won't trust surveillance equipment in case we try to temper.
34:20He'd want to be clear of the blast radius.
34:22So you'll need height. He'll be in one of the surrounding buildings.
34:24He'll be occupied, not easily accessible.
34:26He needs somewhere he can get into and out of.
34:28We're looking for flats, offices to let, buildings under construction.
34:31If we had time...
34:32We don't have time.
34:34What else do we have?
34:35The bomb will be remote detonated.
34:37But it will have a backup timer mechanism.
34:40He's caught bomb disposal units that way before.
34:42In another country, a long time ago.
34:45I suggest we make our peace with our various gods.
34:49And go.
34:54Let's go.
35:15Sorry you got caught up in all this.
35:17Joking.
35:18The story of a lifetime. I can see the front pages now.
35:23What happens if I actually die?
35:26Well, your family never find out how.
35:30To protect itself, the service tells them some kind of lie.
35:33There's no compensation, no life insurance.
35:36And no possibility of anyone ever finding out the truth.
35:40And this is what you live with, is it?
35:42Every day?
35:44That and the luncheon vouchers, yeah.
36:22What?
37:22What?
37:53Nothing.
37:59Got him.
38:01Davy King entered the west building 30 minutes ago.
38:03No sign of him leaving.
38:23You ready?
38:25Ready.
38:37I'm an officer of the British Security Services.
38:39Everybody listen to me.
38:41Evacuate the area.
38:43Now.
38:45Clear the area. Now.
38:47There is a bomb in the area.
38:49Leave now.
38:51Now.
39:11They're pulling something.
39:12Detonate it.
39:21They're jamming us.
39:31Knock on.
39:48Come.
39:51Come to Davy, you bag of shite.
40:22Joe, he's on the ninth floor.
40:24Got him, Alkin.
40:33Come on, crawl on your knees and crawl back.
40:36Take them both out.
40:38I didn't come here to shoot them.
40:40I was still on the timer.
40:42And they're not going anywhere.
40:48That's a hell of a risk, Harry.
40:50What if you'd gone for a headshot?
40:52How do you feel?
40:54Only hurts when I breathe.
40:56Well, don't breathe then.
41:01We've got just over two minutes.
41:09You all right?
41:11There's a pressure switch here.
41:13It could take too long to disable it.
41:15We can't leave the car.
41:17Open the door.
41:19Keep your hands to yourself now.
41:50Come on.
42:12He's moved. You're clear.
42:19Eyes open the lid.
42:21Cut the live wire.
42:2320 seconds. No rush.
42:37Come on, come on, come on.
42:49Come on.
43:19Come on.
43:49Come on.
44:19Come on.
44:49Come on.
45:19Come on.
45:32A bullet in the base of the skull would be quicker.
45:35You can wipe the weasel look off your face, Jason.
45:38We don't care about you.
45:40You're just another petty bureaucrat with erectile dysfunction.
45:44So give him up.
45:46Your boss.
45:48We care about you very much.
45:50Very, very much indeed.
45:53Harry, it was a matter of...
45:55National security.
45:57Isn't it always?
45:59I was going to say war and peace.
46:01I prefer crime and punishment.
46:03Iran maintains that her nuclear programme is peaceful.
46:06We know to our cost that the reactionaries are interested
46:09in more than domestic power supply,
46:11but I found a way to call their bluff.
46:13If Iran wants a peaceful nuclear programme,
46:15we'll give it to them.
46:18The plan's for an integral fast reactor.
46:20It's a nuclear plant.
46:22A safe nuclear plant.
46:24Bottom line, these plants cannot be used to produce nuclear weapons.
46:28Nobody has an excuse to bomb Iran.
46:30Nobody has an excuse to invade Iran.
46:32Not if our nuclear programme is driven by these reactors.
46:39You ordered our assassination for this?
46:42We've been teetering on the brink of war.
46:45Thanks to a bomb which you ordered.
46:47And this plan represents our last, best hopes for an enduring peace.
46:51To make it work, we need Bakshi.
46:54What I'm about to show you is highly classified,
46:57but the Home Secretary has authorised me to make a preliminary...
47:00My people have been maintaining routine surveillance
47:03on several persons of interest.
47:06One of them is journalist Ben Kaplan.
47:12The sequence of events that led to this point
47:14began with a train bomb in Tehran.
47:16That bomb was detonated by MI5.
47:20But Adam Carter threatened to open his mouth.
47:23He knows some uncomfortable truths.
47:25My wife was a British agent, Mr Belli.
47:29If the hardliners in Tehran ever learn this,
47:32my own loyalty will be called into question.
47:35And I am a dead man.
47:37Bakshi panicked. He wouldn't cooperate.
47:40Not while Carter and the rest of you remained a threat to him.
47:43And yes, I am ashamed to have capitulated, but I had no choice.
47:47There was no time to finesse the situation.
47:49Finesse the situation?
47:51The Americans will launch their airstrikes in hours.
47:54This crisis is about to deepen just as we had the opportunity to end it.
47:58Peace or war, Harry. Peace or war.
48:02What was I to do?
48:06You're right.
48:08It's an excellent proposal and should proceed as quickly as possible.
48:12I'll ensure that Bakshi is mollified
48:14and what needs to be kept secret is kept secret.
48:18That's very...
48:19Very what?
48:21I have a duty to this country which supersedes any and all other considerations
48:25and that includes any repugnance I may feel towards you, Home Secretary.
48:29Love your enemies, Nicholas, in case your friends turn out to be bastards.
48:32Today you and I may part as friends,
48:35but if ever I have cause to learn that we are no longer friends,
48:38then you will have cause to learn exactly what kind of bastard I can be.
48:42Do I make myself clear?
49:00Leave it, sir. Nobody's coming.
49:06And I suppose you will have to do what you came here to do.
49:15Joe, leave this for a moment, please.
49:24I know what you were trying to do, Darrish.
49:27I know why and I understand.
49:31Anna's pregnant.
49:35A good friend told me.
49:38Someone I lost.
49:41Someone I love.
49:43And the child, it's...
49:44Yours.
49:46Mine.
49:48Who knows?
49:51Sometime in the future you could be with them.
49:53It's impossible. Not while you know that.
49:56Go home, Darrish.
50:01Negotiate for our two countries.
50:03And I'll do everything I can to protect you.
50:08Because there's a chance, however small,
50:12that Anna's baby's mine.
50:14That child keeps you safe from any ill I might wish you.
50:17Exposing Anna, exposing you.
50:21That exposes the child to danger.
50:25I could never allow that.
50:30I'm sorry.
50:40He agreed?
50:41Of course he agreed.
50:43And the baby?
50:45Is it yours?
50:49I don't know.
50:52But nor does Bakshi.
50:54Isn't that what this game's all about in the end?
51:01Now we see how Britain and Iran are about to make what's been described
51:05as an unprecedented joint announcement regarding Iran's nuclear development programme.
51:10From Whitehall earlier today, the Home Secretary, Nicolas Flake, spoke to reporters.
51:15I won't pre-empt the formal announcement to be made by the Prime Minister.
51:19What I can say is that Iran and Britain
51:23have laid a foundation upon which our two countries and the world
51:28can work to build a lasting peace.
51:30If he'd given you the story, would you have run it?
51:32Stories, they never achieve anything, not really.
51:35But what you do, MI5,
51:39it actually makes a difference. I mean, it actually changes things.
51:43Doesn't sound like a journalist talking.
51:46I don't think I'm a journalist anymore.
51:58Let's get these machines turned on and let's get back to work.
52:12Someone's done something to this chair.
