Original subtitles

Where's Zaf?

Zaf's not available, I'm Jo.

I don't like new faces.

Zaf handles me, no one else.

Michael, you're our source and Zaf's left the service.

Why?

It's not important.

I'm handling you now.

You?

Can you tell me why you wanted to meet?

There's been some chatter at the mosque recently.

I got a sense that something's going down.

And yesterday this guy comes up to me

and asks me if I'm still interested

in being active for the cause.

What did he want?

He's looking for a driver for an operation.

Who is he?

His name's Hassan Lago.

He's the cousin of Abdul Kharami.

Kharami's getting his morning paper as usual.

GPS tag confirmed operational.

Come.

Go!

Aram!

I've been going to prayer meetings with him.

We talk a lot about the Jihad.

He gave me a number to call him later this morning.

He says he'll give me details of the op then.

I think it could be as soon as today.

Okay, call him agree to whatever he asks.

I'll be in touch.

Are you sure?

I'll be in touch.

Target confirmed.

Heading back to the flat.

Michael Johnson's been contacted

by Hassan Lago for an operation.

Malcolm, check Abdul Kharami's status

with the security firm that's monitoring.

Yep?

Just had a call from MI-5.

They're concerned about the status of Kharami.

Can you confirm his precise location?

Well, you can tell them to stop fretting

our rabbit's back in his warren.

Show me the CCTV footage.

There's something about this that doesn't feel right.

This is Kharami going.

And this is him coming back.

Check the height.

Yeah, I have they matched.

If Hassan Lago's organizing an attack

then Abdul Kharami's behind it.

He'd have to break his control.

All right, let me check the CCTV from the same camera

for the last 10 mornings.

We can't risk losing him even for an hour.

Here.

The newspaper.

It's under the wrong arm.

That's not Kharami.

He's in the wind.

Mr. Kharami, we're conducting a survey

on behalf of the Residents' Association.

Your neighbor told us you were in.

We won't take a minute of your time.

The police aren't due to check up on Kharami

until 6:30 tonight and this guy could have stayed

in the apartment all day

without anyone discovering the switch.

Abdul Kharami, Algerian extremist.

Two years ago, Washington was starting to invest

in the new Algerian economy

and Kharami wanted to stop them.

He leveled two new corporate office buildings in Algiers

with massive bombs buried underground,

killing nearly 300 workers when they collapsed.

That didn't give him enough headlines.

So then there was the Ankara car bomb,

five American soldiers killed.

And then the targeting of the US Press Corps in Lisbon.

18 dead including five locals.

He began to plan bombings on American targets in London.

He was arrested, but because the evidence against him

was sourced from illegal wiretaps and mobile phone bugs,

it couldn't be used in court.

Connie, I want full press blackout on this.

I don't want him or any of his team to know

that we're onto him.

Jo, I want to meet with Michael in one hour.

Kharami always focuses on American targets.

Are we gonna tell them?

What do you think?

I think the CIA conned us into bombing a civilian train

in order to expose Iran's bio weapons program.

I think they're illegally flying spy planes

around the country without us knowing.

I think they kidnapped Zaf.

I also think they killed him,

but don't have the guts to admit it.

Incoming.

Kharami's US public enemy number one.

We can't keep the CIA out of it.

Best behavior, everyone.

When the British government chose to employ

a minor private security firm to tag

one of the most dangerous men on the planet,

I was assured that there was no chance

of Abdul Kharami escaping detention.

You all know Bob Hogan, CIA.

I called Bob the minute we learnt about Kharami's escape.

I've invited him and Agent Warren to join the operation

to track Kharami down.

Michael, it's been a while, how have you been?

What happened to Zaf?

Tell us what happened when you called Hassan Lago.

I haven't called him.

Jo, told you to call him, she's your handler now.

You do what she says.

I saw the Tehran train bomb on the news.

Yeah, it was horrible.

I don't believe that crap about it being local trouble.

I reckon you or the Americans are behind it.

It had nothing to do with us, I assure you.

And you always tell me the truth, don't you?

They killed Zaf.

Give me your phone, Michael.

He was tracking an Algerian GIA terror cell.

They shot him in the head.

In cold blood, Michael.

Make the call.

Mustafa.

I'll be your driver.

Good, I'll call you in one hour.

What's the target?

You don't need to know that.

Malcolm, did you get a position on him?

I'm getting a location.

He's in Victoria Park.

He's making another phone call.

- Can you intercept? - I can try.

Malcolm?

What is it?

He's calling the Iranian embassy.

I have a meeting at the embassy

with the Special Consul at two o'clock.

I'll call to confirm afterwards.

Thank you.

You're looking handsome this morning.

Don't I always?

More so when you're excited about something.

What aren't you telling me?

Let's say today is a day of potential.

In what way?

Not yet.

Trust me, darling.

I need to know a time and a place.

I have a meeting at the embassy

with the Special Consul at two o'clock.

I will call to confirm afterwards.

Iran working with Abdul Kharami!

They are sworn enemies.

My enemy's enemy is my friend.

Kharami wants to destroy America, Iran wants the same.

This way Iran can pursue its agenda

without being directly responsible

and no one would guess it was them.

Harry, this takes Kharami to a whole new level.

Are we still tracking Lago's phone?

No, he threw it in a waste bin straight after the call.

Your Agent Warren seems to have a lead

on Lago's whereabouts.

Let's hope it's more than that.

I'll get onto the Iranian embassy

and talk to Dariush Bakhshi,

gauge whether he's aware of this plot.

You'll be stonewalled.

He thinks the US are preparing airstrikes.

He'll back anyone who'll take him on.

Harry, we have to know what's really going on

inside that embassy.

You think she's ready?

She'll have to be.

I'll make the first approach.

Don't do anything until I say so.

Close the door.

I'm hearing rumors of disquiet on the frontline.

No.

I personally love working with murderers.

Sit down.

You're not alone.

I think Bob Hogan is lying to us about Zaf too.

I think somewhere on some CIA computer in some briefcase

somewhere there is a file with details of Zaf's arrest.

I'm authorizing Operation Zebra unofficially.

I want you to penetrate US intelligence.

Maybe you'll turn up something on Zaf's true fate.

Now you're working alongside these people,

I want you to use it,

but don't let it threaten your main responsibility,

which is to find Abdul Kharami and stop him.

That's Kharami's cousin, Hassan Lago.

Brown jacket.

Not cutting much hair, is he?

I doubt Kharami's gonna make direct contact with him.

It's too obvious.

Well, Kharami doesn't know we know he's out

and he's in a hurry, he might take a few chances.

This could be something.

He's pulling into the backyard.

I'm gonna take a walk around the side.

I'll give you a call.

I'd leave your coat if I were you.

A bit Kensington for around here.

Operation Zebra underway.

- Yeah. - Ros, it's Kharami.

They're loading a large case into the trunk.

Come by and pick me up.

Looks like they're making a move.

Okay.

Come on!

Yeah?

Where are you?

They're almost outta sight.

Yeah, I've got a bus right in front of me.

Goddammit!

I'm on my way.

Jesus!

Good work, you've lost us our man.

Shit!

The current political climate is somewhat tense.

There are fears over the biological weapons leak

and Iran's pursuit of a full nuclear program.

I appreciate the update.

I had noticed the American aircraft carriers

on our doorstep.

However, we are years away from full nuclear capacity.

Even so, any act of provocation at this time

by either side would be extremely foolish.

Maybe you should've thought about that

before you started detonating our national rail network.

Now your fishing, Dariush.

We both know the Mujahideen insurgents were set

on disrupting the peace.

Well, whomever it was, they succeeded.

I can assure you, we have no plans

to destabilize the situation further.

Good.

Because any attack on American interests

in the next few days or the next few hours

would have to be interpreted as an act of war.

Are you accusing me of something, Mr. Pearce?

I'm simply saying we have eyes and we have ears.

I have ears too and what I'm hearing

is an insult to my country.

Our civilization is older than yours.

It has greater riches and yet you treat us

like we are children.

I'm afraid I have another meeting to attend to.

Good day.

I can't stay long.

I told him I was shopping like you said.

Sorted that.

One 24-carat alibi.

It's so beautiful!

The romantic gesture is only slightly marred

by the fact that I had to buy it on your credit card

just in case anyone checked.

Thought it might buy us some time.

Sorry.

What is it?

Something I was hoping wouldn't have to happen.

A man named Abdul Kharami is planning an attack today.

His cousin Hassan Lago

called the Iranian embassy this morning.

I need to know a time and a place.

I have a meeting at the embassy

with the Special Consul at two o'clock.

I will call to confirm afterwards.

What does that mean?

It could mean that your husband

is sponsoring Kharami to bomb an American target in London.

Ana, wait! - Get your hands off!

Ana, please!

I need your help, if I only to clear your husband's name.

This is the only way we have of finding Kharami.

I need you to find out who is meeting who

at two o'clock today.

I'm meeting him then.

We're planning the embassy annual party together.

Well, then you have nothing to worry about,

but I have to be sure.

Look.

Look, just check his meetings.

Call me if anything seems strange.

You've got this wrong.

Here's some recording equipment and a phone just in case.

Was this what this whole show was about?

No, of course not.

But if this attack is real,

the Americans' retaliation on your country will be absolute.

We have to stop that happening.

I'll do this.

I'll do it to prove you're mistaken.

I bought it for the party.

Highly successful I would say.

Are we still meeting to plan the party?

I'm sorry, another meeting has come up

which I cannot miss. - Oh.

Meeting out?

No, in the embassy, but I'm afraid it cannot be changed.

We'll talk about it at supper instead.

Yes, let's.

Ana?

He canceled our meeting.

Said he had another in the embassy.

Can you set up the recording equipment?

I need to hear that meeting.

It may well decide

what target will be bombed this afternoon.

Ana, we need to know either way.

What do I do?

Obviously, at this stage-

Inside, he's meeting two aides.

I'm recording.

Okay, just keep the microphone tight to the window.

Okay.

How will I get the tape to you?

Don't worry about that for now.

Adam, someone is trying to get in.

Did you lock the door?

Yes, but he's shaking the handle, he's gonna get in.

He's not gonna get in, just stay calm.

Everything will be fine.

I'm scared, Adam.

It's okay, you're doing great.

Just keep the microphone pointing at the window.

It's stopped.

I think he's gone away.

Okay, well done.

He's coming in!

Hang up now!

Lady Consul, may I ask what you're doing in here?

I was just looking for something to write with.

Why did you lock the door?

What have you got in your hand?

Nothing.

Please, show me.

It's nothing.

Please remember your position in the embassy.

You may leave me.

Show me what is in your hand.

Please give it to me and we'll forget all about it.

Get away from me.

Don't be stupid.

Get away from me.

I'm sorry.

I'll call someone.

Help me, please.

Phone for help.

Do it!

I've killed him.

I can hear someone coming.

Okay, stay calm.

Listen to me, Ana.

You were in the office looking for some books.

The aide came in, he tried to rape you.

You killed him in self-defense, are you listening?

Are you listening? - Yes.

Okay, rip your top and tear your skirt.

Hide the microphone, the phone you're using now,

and the MiniDisc.

Hide them somewhere they'll never look.

Think fast, hide them high!

There's a kitchen.

Okay, the cupboard.

On the top.

Get the knife.

Crawl in your tights in the blood.

And loosen your hair, get blood everywhere.

Okay.

I'll contact you.

- Adam! - Do it!

Open!

Open the door now!

Open!

He...

He tried to...

Shh.

Give it to me.

Let go.

It will be better if no one knows about what happened.

We shall say the man was suffering of depression.

He killed himself.

The office will be kept locked

until we can remove any sign you were ever in there.

Thank you.

The Iranians have reported nothing to the police.

Well, they'll prefer to handle house matters themselves.

Do you think she'll crack?

I don't think so.

Adam, regardless of her feelings for you,

she's just killed a man.

She's traumatized and alone,

can we really bank on her staying on side?

I believe she'll do as I ask.

Malcolm's liaised with all the Met divisions

and there's still no sign of Kharami.

We must find him.

London is under threat.

Kharami's attack could happen any second, anywhere.

Michael's dead dropping you in half an hour.

He's our only chance now, Adam.

Whatever we think of him.

He's been hit hard.

He's compromised a source,

it's a hit to his professional pride.

Do you think that's all it is?

How's Operation Zebra?

I found a CIA folder on Warren's computer

marked "Outsourcing."

Standard CIA speak for mercenary assassinations.

It's marked as "Disused PO."

Paper only.

Hogan never did trust digital security.

It was always his thing.

It may contain instructions to take out Zaf.

I need to find out everything I can about Bob Hogan.

His daily habits, activities for the last five years.

Adam?

The attack is at six o'clock tonight.

Michael's on his way to pick up the car they're using.

Does he know the target?

He says he hasn't been told.

Do we believe him?

I do.

Kharami's operating a strictly need to know strategy.

I think we stay damn close to him.

That will only risk exposing him more.

Adam, follow him to the pickup.

I'm sending support.

Keep it soft surveillance.

Don't get too close.

If Kharami's there, we don't want to scare him off.

Michael does anything out of the ordinary bring him in.

- Kharami sent me. - Kharami?

Follow me.

Alpha Two, they've gone out the back.

Cover the exit.

Keep your distance.

Alpha Two, all clear.

So where's the car?

We're going to pick it up.

Why are we here?

To make sure you are not being followed.

Where the hell are they, Alpha Two.

What can you see?

They've not come out this way.

Okay.

Move in and see if you can get a visual.

Call your people and tell them there is no one here.

Tell them!

What's happening, Alpha Two?

Is everything all right?

Alpha Two?

This is, Alpha Three.

There's no one here, I'm coming back round.

Wrong call sign.

No!

A completely sealed off delivery area,

one exit only and we lost her.

Well, the CCTV cameras had been tampered with,

but I managed to get some footage from a neighboring yard.

The dead drop was a trap to see if we were following him.

Looks like Michael could be a double agent.

This is great.

We have an Islamic fanatic wandering around town

with a God-given license to kill Americans

and our best chance of finding out what he's doing

is to read about it in the evening paper.

Have you heard any of this?

I know the welfare of MI5 agents

isn't exactly the top of your agenda.

Bob, we will find Kharami if you let us do so.

I'm sure you will.

But if in half an hour you can't tell me

where Kharami is and what he's doing,

I'll be forced to call the White House

and recommend the president orders an immediate

and public shoot to kill policy on Kharami

and any Muslim involved with him.

As well as the evacuation of all Americans living in London.

The political meltdown of all of that I leave you to ponder.

MI5 have tried to bring down Kharami before.

He'll know Jo and he'll teach her a lesson for us all.

We have to find a way to get to Ana's tape.

We have to know what the Special Consul

and Kharami are targeting.

I've done a bit of prying into Hogan's personal affairs,

not strictly legal or ethical, but needs must,

and something came up.

He visited a chiropractor six months ago.

Yes, I've heard him talk about his bad back.

And yet he's a member at Tintley Green.

The American golf club?

According to their charming secretary, Travis,

bad back Bob has been there two dozen times

in the last six months,

although he's never actually seen him play.

Travis also said that every member has their own locker

to stash clubs- - Or anything else.

There were those in the organization

who thought you'd never turn up.

Why the sudden call?

Our sources are telling us

that there's a panic in Washington.

Do you know what it's about?

There's an attack planned today on a US target.

We think Iran's behind it.

Abdul Kharami.

How did you know that?

We have a contact in Algerian intelligence.

The DRS has infiltrated Kharami's cell.

The Algerian government knows about the attack.

Then why isn't it doing anything to stop it?

If an Algerian with Iranian support blows up a US target

bang goes billions of dollars of American contracts.

What if it isn't a US target?

And what if it isn't with Iranian support.

Then why is Kharami taking instruction

from the Iranian embassy?

I thought you were meant to be good, Ms. Myers.

Hold her.

Tie her hands and mouth.

What are you doing?

You're not supposed to be following me.

I know, we had to be certain.

You don't trust me, you just used me.

You think I'm with them?

We didn't know for sure.

Did you lie about Zaf?

About who killed him?

Did you? - Yes, we lied.

We had to get you on side.

I can't trust you anymore.

Hey!

We take her for a ride.

You drive.

Where we going?

I'll tell you later.

What have I done?

It's okay.

I can't go back there.

It's okay.

He just rushed at me, I didn't mean to.

No one will ever know.

Listen.

Listen, I want you to do something for me.

No.

We have so little time, you have to do this.

I can't, I can't!

The attack is real, Anna.

The aide that found you, he knew you were onto it.

You have no idea that my husband is even involved.

That's why I need the tape.

You've already seen what they're prepared to do to you

to try and keep this operation alive.

Ana, look, we have no idea what they're planning.

We have to know.

Ana?

What are you doing in my office?

I bought it for you earlier today.

I wanted to give it to you this afternoon,

but then you canceled.

I was waiting in your office to surprise you

after your meeting when...

I just wanted to give it to you.

I just wanted to give you something, I'm sorry.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

Oh!

You like it?

I love you so much.

I love you too.

I have to go out soon.

Please rest.

- Okay. - Hmm.

We'll talk later.

- Ana? - I have it.

Play it now please.

Mr. Varidel is interested in investing

hundreds of millions in the Iranian economy.

He sees us playing a vital part

in turning China into the next superpower.

Then I should meet him, of course.

For him to take such an interest in us

is a highly significant step.

Mr. Varidel is only in London

until tomorrow morning.

He's keen to invite you to dinner with him

tonight at this hotel.

Then of course I should go.

Please clear my diary.

Now the summer party.

Will the chancellor of the Persian Academy

be wanting to meet?

That's it.

What, there's nothing more?

No, there is nothing more.

That's it!

I killed a man

and he's just setting up a business meeting.

A business meeting!

Ana!

Ana, calm down.

You used me for nothing.

Ana, listen, just gimme some time, I'll call you back.

- Screw you! - Ana, wait!

She could tell her husband about her role.

She will not tell her husband.

Hardly matters.

We're stuck in a dead end.

It was just an ordinary business meeting.

So why was Lago told that the target would be decided

by a meeting at the embassy?

Look, what if we've been looking at this the wrong way.

So the meeting was to set up an Iranian target.

The Iranian Special Consul.

We've been monitoring him,

he's just left for the Savoy Hotel.

We need to intercept his car.

No, it's too risky.

This must be an inside job

and whoever set him up might be in the car with him.

Connie, you and I will deal with Hogan.

Adam, you get to the Savoy, lead the operation from there.

Malcolm, can you read me?

Loud and clear?

What have you got?

I have the Special Consul's limo on CCTV.

He's 10 minutes away.

Special Consul, I forgot to mention,

Mr. Varidel has moved hotels to the Imperial Plaza.

I think someone at the someone at the Savoy

was not as polite as they should have been.

Hmm.

Driver take us to the Imperial Plaza Hotel.

Bob, I'm glad you came, I have good news.

Oh, terribly sorry, Bob.

What is this?

It's a transcript of a mobile phone conversation

we just picked up between Kharami and Lago.

Contains the target.

Tintley Down.

It's a golf and sports facility

used by American military and diplomatic personnel.

You use it?

All the time, six handicap.

Good, then you'll know it's a US only restricted zone.

I've already put them on alert,

but I'll need your help to evacuate the club.

You can leave that to me.

You focus on catching Kharami.

Get down there, Connie.

I think he'll try and move whatever files he's hiding.

If you don't tell me where we're going,

you're gonna have to direct me.

You are going to take me to the Imperial Plaza Hotel.

You'll drop me there and wait for me.

After I've completed the operation I will join you there.

What about her?

We'll take care of her later.

Adam, I've managed to catch Bakhshi's limo

at Cambridge Circus.

It looks like he's made a wrong turn.

He should be heading south to the Savoy,

but it's going west.

They're trying to trick us.

Malcolm, stay on him.

Thank you.

Keep on moving, please.

Park entrance, please.

Wait around at the park entrance.

The hotel valet is one of my men.

He will ensure you get the correct space.

I'll see you there in a few minutes.

Can I check your bag please, sir?

- Is this really necessary? - I'm afraid so.

Yeah?

Bob, we've just discovered

Tintley Down is a decoy target.

The real target is the Iranian Special Consul,

location, Imperial Plaza Hotel.

Have you got people down there?

- Yes. - Sir.

I see.

Print them.

Adam, it's Kharami.

Why is he walking away?

Adam, the Jaguar's been spotted on CCTV

at the rear entrance of the hotel.

Michael.

Follow Kharami.

Stop him, alive if possible.

Wait here, sir, I'll just check

Mr. Varidel is ready for you.

Adam, Bakhshi's aide has been spotted

entering the hotel.

I'm aide to the Special Consul of Iran.

MI5.

I have no weapon.

Where's the consul?

Where is he?

Special Consul!

What the hell he want?

Open the door, somebody's trying to kill you!

Michael!

Gimme the gun.

- Where's Kharami? - He's gone.

You know he's gone, just stop lying to us.

I've been nothing but straight.

It's you that's always lying.

You show me no respect.

You don't care that I've had to live a lie.

Or that Zaf's gone.

And now this.

Michael, look, we don't have time for this.

The target is in the car behind us.

Please!

Please, just help me one more time.

Tell me what they're planning to do.

I don't know.

But your colleague is in the boot.

Jo!

Gimme the keys, gimme the keys!

They don't work.

Get back!

There's a bomb in the boot!

Get back, there's a bomb in the boot!

There's a bomb!

Reverse, fast!

Adam, Adam!

Michael, get out of here now, go!

Hassan!

Hey, easy there.

Tip for next time.

Lock your glove compartment.

Connie's retrieved the documents

Bob Hogan was hiding at Tintley Down Golf Club.

Still no mention of Zaf though.

However, Operation Zebra turned something else up.

Tomorrow morning the Iranian government

are meeting a businessman in London

to buy a set of nuclear triggers

that will give Iran full nuclear capability.

- And the CIA knew? - And didn't tell us.

Of course, so America can expose Iran

as a warmongering tyranny and blow it to kingdom come.

America's not the only one lying to us.

This morning the man whose life we saved assured me

Iran was years from full nuclear capability.

Turns out it's more like hours.

Thanks for the tip off on the attack.

None of us want world war.

A strong civilized Iran is a vital component

in establishing global stability.

What about nuclear deals?

Interesting.

Iran's about to become a fully-fledged nuclear power.

It would appear so.

The US know and are doing nothing.

The moment Iran completes, the Americans can justify

total annihilation of Iran and her allies, Syria, Lebanon.

Yes, thank you for this.

We'll be in touch.

- Is that it? - For now.

What if I don't trust you?

Then tell Harry Pearce, see if he can solve it all alone.

And we can all carry on as we have done

for the last hundred years.

I'm sorry, I can't come.

I understand.

Adam, I can't do this anymore.

It's too dangerous.

It's okay,

we're not expecting anything else from you, Ana.

I just wanted to see you.

I don't think it's a good idea.

You're tired.

Let's talk tomorrow.

I think it's best we forget the whole thing.

Listen, Ana, this is more than just about work, this is-

I'm sorry.

Ana, call me tomorrow.

Just call me to-

Thank you for my scarf.

It's wonderful.

What's wonderful is that you're still here to wear it.

What's strange is how they knew.

Knew what?

Knew where I was going.

They must have followed the other car.

Yes, of course, yes.

I love you, Ana.

I know you didn't buy me this scarf.

Adam Carter did.

I have him buying it on the store CCTV.

Ana, my darling, you're a mole for the British government.
