Original subtitles

I don't normally do that.

Neither do I.

Okay, long as that's clear.

Very clear.

Want to do it again?

I have to get to work.

Let me make you breakfast.

Okay.

Oh, shit! No, I really have to go!

But I'll call you later.

Okay.

Any sign yet?

Still waiting for the flight to come in.

Where have you been anyway?

Wes' housemaster called, want me to go down to the school.

In the middle of the night?

He's homesick. Needs to see his dad.

Plus I knew you'd have it covered.

Looks like our target.

It must be in the holdall.

Bingo.

Just give us your wallet and your phone.

Come on.

Come on, hurry up.

Okay! Okay!

Enough!

I said enough!

Ambulance.

Land Rock Lane, head injury.

Sergei Valentino, the Russian mule.

Seen here entering the country this morning,

carrying the blueprints for a nuclear trigger.

In the holdall?

The customs X-ray shows it contains a small metal

container no bigger than a cigarette box.

It's inside the cigarette box that the blueprints

are being stowed.

Can we see any details?

Not on the X-ray, no.

At the moment, we only have scanned intel on the handover.

We still don't know when, where, or how much money's

changing hands.

What we do know is once in Iranian hands,

the blueprints can be translated into the technical coding

for a nuclear trigger, and Iran becomes a nuclear power.

A move that will antagonize America and Israel.

This could be the match that lights the whole tinder box.

The Americans and Allies on one side,

the Russians, Chinese and Arab nations on the other,

could be- - World War III.

Quite a lot for one scruffy Russian.

Our guess is that Valentino doesn't know the significance

of what he's carrying.

- Adam, we have a problem - Valentino's gone.

What?

I've just had word from surveillance,

he's not at the hotel.

He must have found a tracker.

Even so, there were 14 people outside that hotel.

Get me surveillance on one, I want to know how

they missed him. - Adam,

something you should see.

Looks like you and Ros weren't the only people at the

airport to meet Valentino.

He was under surveillance, he must have known.

We better pray it's not our Iranian contact.

Where did this man go next?

Looks like he was speeding off in a car.

We traced it to a warehouse, it was hired three weeks ago.

This address.

We've widened the face recognition search

to foreign contacts.

We got a match; the good news is he's not Iranian.

The bad news is the man following Valentino is KGB.

FSB.

So, he changed his name, still the same wild beast.

Russian secret police were waiting for Valentino as well.

Well, Valentino isn't unknown to them.

He used to work for them in the 80s as an informer.

Something happened, he had to flee the country.

Since then, it looks like he's been working against Russia.

Arming, amongst others, Chechens with weapons to use against

his former country.

No wonder the Russians are after his blood.

It might be an idea to get hold of Adam and tell him

what he's dealing with.

Yeah, thanks.

I've got it.

- It's a warning. - What does it say?

- It's not exactly polite. - The gist?

The gist is, "Back off Valentino, he's our man."

And the rest is- - Is?

That's Russian for testicles, isn't it?

Darling, you look flustered.

Wouldn't you be?

Oh, he's being clever, but we can be cleverer still.

He vanished from right under our noses.

What he did was impossible.

Certainly it was impressive.

You said he have something for me.

I do, but it is a quid pro quo situation, Ros.

I need eyes and ears on the grid.

You're joking.

Malcolm's wired the grid with every detector in demand,

I'd never get it through pods.

Nothing in Malcolm's toolkit that will pick up

these little gems.

Valentino is half a mile from here at T-G-6-6-7-4-1-2.

How did you find him?

Well, let's just say I know how these Russians think.

Iran going nuclear will only fuel US aggression.

We're all agreed, Valentino must be stopped.

I think you'd better get on with stopping him, don't you?

Harry, I've got him.

Yes, Ros?

Okay, you've got a deal.

Ros.

Good work.

Thanks.

Finding a lone Russian in a city of 8 million.

Brilliant, even.

How'd you do it? - Just got lucky.

Surveillance missed something.

Problem is-

No holdall.

Could the deal already have happened?

I don't think so, no.

I think if it had, Valentino would already have left London.

Where would a lone Russian put blueprints

for safekeeping?

Well, we can't let the KGB get to him before we find out.

- FSB. - I know.

Well, whichever, we don't have much time.

The FSB are bound to work out his movements as we have.

Can we do a deal with the FSB?

A deal with the Russians?

They give us 24 hours, we hand him over.

Or something.

Well, what? It's been done before.

They're a law unto themselves, why would they work

with us?

Well, I think they're softening him up.

Playing cat mouse to terrify him.

My guess is they need something from him

before they kill him.

So, what do we do?

Well, we can offer him immunity.

That's all we can do.

If he's as scared as he seems, he may take it.

Sir.

I've only got about 10 minutes.

I've been thinking about you all day.

I don't know much about you.

You haven't even told me what you do.

Oh, come on, jealous, cut a charade.

You didn't check me out first thing this morning?

You're a journalist.

And you're a spy.

Am I part of some scoop?

Hey listen, I nearly walked away from the whole thing,

you have to believe that, but it's too big.

Yes, I approached you because there's something

I've been working on, but what happened last night

wasn't just about work.

Don't

I need your help.

There's something big going on and I need someone

on the inside.

Do you know this guy?

Doesn't ring any bells.

I'll take that as a yes.

Look, I think the government's covering their tracks

about something, and this man here is onto them.

I want to know why he was silenced.

It doesn't work like that.

Look at the pictures, Jo.

What does it look like?

This man is now in hospital on a drip.

I could print what I have right now, I just want someone

to tell me it isn't true.

Adam, can I have a word?

Yeah, what?

You're going to think I'm crazy, but there's this guy.

What guy?

He calls himself a journalist, I met him in a bar.

He seems to think that you were in North London this morning

and that you silenced someone.

This morning?

Yeah.

Just to warn you.

Well, I don't need warning.

I've been at the airport since the early hours

waiting for a flight from Moscow, ask Ros.

She already did.

There you go.

Who is this bloke?

I tell you, I don't know that much about him.

His name will do.

Ben Kaplan.

He's a freelance journalist.

I'll look him up.

Thanks for the warning.

Expecting someone else?

Do you want to start talking?

She doesn't know I'm here.

She had a fight with her husband.

So she told you.

She needed a place to stay for the night.

And you thought you'd obliged with an MI-5 safe house

unauthorized?

Look, we got her into this mess - she's my responsibility.

She killed a man when she was on our errand.

Are you in love with her?

No.

You told me there was a crisis with Wes.

You lied about Wes.

I was just trying to protect her.

She's a big girl, Adam, she doesn't need protecting.

And you're compromising the operation.

The man who attacked you outside is a journalist.

His name is Tim LaHare.

No, he was just a mugger.

Not true, as it turns out. - He was after my wallet.

No, you listen to this.

LaHare was following a story about MI-5.

He approached you and you hit him.

This is just fantasy.

I'm just telling you what's going to be written-

I punched a guy, he hit his head.

It's a bad luck story, that's all.

What about the other journalist, Ben Kaplan?

Have you ever heard of him before?

Not until today, no.

So you think you're being set up?

Of course I am, don't be so stupid!

Look, the mugger will wake up, it's just mild concussion.

They're expecting to come around today and then we'll see.

And if he doesn't wake up?

Then I'll need all the friends I've got.

You'll tell Harry.

No!

Wait!

Please.

She is not good for you.

This situation is not good for you.

She's an asset.

Adam?

Yeah, it's just me.

Let's try a different tack.

Tell him we know about his past.

And what he's got up to.

So we have two choices; either we call our old friends,

the Russians.

Or he can work with us.

Valentino's not in the interrogation cell.

No one's raising the alarm.

We got them?

We got them.

Right now, Valentino will be heading to a storage facility

off Waterloo Road.

When we pick him up, we brought him through the pods

where we detected a swipe card.

The card accesses a locker at the storage facility.

When he opens his locker, he'll pick up what he'll assume

is his holdall containing the blueprints.

Only, it won't be his holdall, it'll be an identical one

we put in its place.

Cute.

Adam, it's Teran.

Your mugger was investigating the Teran bomb.

We're going to look as guilty as hell if he doesn't wake up.

Destroy everything you can.

We need to buy some time.

I've just had a message.

Tim LaHare is dead.

He was alive and well this afternoon.

- He was in a coma. - He was breathing.

Well, he isn't now.

Why didn't you tell me?

Didn't think it was important, it was just a mugging.

Bullshit.

One word:

Anna.

Somebody's got it in for me.

Did you see her?

- Yes. - In an MI-5 safe house.

A meeting outside of an operation.

In fact, a meeting with no agenda, except your own.

I believed it was essential to sure her up as an asset.

That's a new name for it.

You went there because you couldn't help yourself.

It's probably immaterial now anyway.

We have a huge problem right where we don't need it.

The man, Tim LaHare, who apparently mugged you,

was a journalist. - It's a fabrication.

Well, this is the accusation.

At least hear the charge before you come in with a defense.

I know the charge.

The Teran bomb.

The story we thought we'd buried.

It's your word against his.

He's dead.

And no one speaks louder than a dead body.

There's nothing definitive.

So far.

We've been monitoring the situation carefully,

nothing's come up.

Unless someone's been indiscreet.

No.

Even half a sentence or a whisper where it shouldn't be.

- Absolutely not. - A bug then.

Could she have got a bug on you?

Anna is not involved.

I'm sorry, Adam.

In this case, your judgment is seriously flawed.

Let's hope there is no hard evidence.

Just speculation.

'Cause if there's an email, a tape,

or the ghost of a fingerprint on the trigger,

and the government will fall, you realize that?

Either way, it's now a murder charge against you.

- I can't run, what about Wes? - Yes.

What about Wes when you're serving life?

You're going to have to trust me.

Lie low just for a few days.

Take it, for God's sake.

Call may or may not have been made in Teran,

it may or may not have been the right call,

but someone had to make it.

And I would much rather have the people that are currently

working in MI-5 than others who will swoop in

if this story breaks us all.

You know what you've done so far?

You've just removed one of the best officers from his job.

You've left the security services vulnerable

to becoming state controlled.

So if that makes you sleep safer in your bed at night, then

well done.

Good days work, I'd say.

Who's that?

He's what the home office call damage limitation.

The home secretary's grateful for your loyalty.

Only to be used if evidence comes to light.

Speculation can be fought. - Of course.

Where is Carter? - I haven't seen him.

You gave him a false passport and sent him on his way.

Not necessarily.

We are on the same team, Harry, I don't want this

any more than you do.

The media is already onto this story, we need to contain

the damage.

I'm going to move in some of my staff.

I don't know what else I can do.

If Carter makes contact, I want to make sure

that we are here to take the call.

Move in some of your staff?

We won't interfere.

I just need to have eyes and ears around.

You do understand, don't you?

This is a secret service.

Not today.

Today it is transparent.

I saw the papers.

It's you, isn't it?

My colleagues think that you and your husband set me up.

That I can't trust you.

You knew I'd be walking down that street at that time.

The precise moment I'd be leaving the safe house.

I wouldn't do that.

I've been officially told not to see you.

Adam, please don't say that.

Then give me something.

- You stink. - Thanks.

No, really,

The Iranian contact in the nuclear deal is called

Masood Nasimi.

He's likely to make contact with Valentino in person.

Where did you get this?

The handover of the holdall could happen today.

We can't trust her, Adam.

Harry's told us we've got a treater like a mole.

She said he'll be using a mobile - this is the number.

In case Valentino gives you the slip again.

- It's not reliable. - Look, I don't question

your sources.

The Iranian contact is her brother-in-Law.

He came into Britain yesterday.

Just tap into the mobile and see what you can get.

Okay.

You said you had something for me.

CCTV images.

I've got Connie to go back over LaHare's movements

on the day he attacked you.

Build up a picture of who he was, who he met with.

We follow him for most of the day, but then we lose him

for about three hours.

- Where? - Waterloo Bridge.

Connie, can you patch into this mobile, please?

Let me know if anything of interest comes up.

Where's Harry?

He's in with media liaison.

Valentino's made a move, he's come out of hiding.

Get Harry out of there.

Can you get out of my way, please?

Connie, can I have a full translation of what

Valentino's saying saw? - Who's he calling?

It's international, unknown number, something's changed.

We have details of the handover.

- When? - Today. 3:00.

A call was made on Masood Nasimi's mobile just as Anna said.

Names and where the money's to be transferred.

- So it checks out? - Yeah, it seems so.

Excuse me, have you seen this man?

Have you seen this man?

I'm looking for this man, can you help me?

- No. - You sure?

No!

- Have you seen this- - No, I've never.

Excuse me, I'm looking for this man.

Have you seen this man?

No.

How about you?

No chance.

You didn't even look.

We don't do missing people.

Are you from the police?

No.

Private detective?

No, I just met him once, I want to find him again,

that's all, have you seen him?

He isn't here.

Do you know him?

No.

And before you say anything, we don't need your money.

Money?

Who said anything about money?

I thought you had money like the last man.

What happened?

He fell.

It's definitely your friend?

No mistake.

I think he's been a victim of identity theft.

I'm sorry.

Tells his wife, take the kids to the border.

Instructions about who to stay with.

Sounds final.

Oh, man's voice.

He's shouting, telling him to get down.

Sounds like they're already under arrest.

Valentino heard this?

Shit!

Harry, I've got evidence that LaHare's a construct.

We need to meet and explain what-

Are we tracing that call?

Why did you hang up?

We'll be arresting you next.

- We've traced him - I've just told the police.

Get in! Get down!

He's gone.

I had a visit from one of your colleagues.

She made me think.

I got sent the photos anonymously.

I didn't know who and I didn't ask, but when I did ask,

it sent me on a strange trail.

I thought you should see it.

Why should I trust you?

You probably shouldn't.

Yeah, I'm calling about your dry cleaning.

It's been switched with someone else's,

someone called Hogan.

I take it you didn't happen to just be passing.

Two minutes.

You're a wanted man.

I picked up the trail, Hogan.

The photos, the fake ID, it all leads straight back to you.

It does?

There never was such a person as Tim LaHare.

He was a drunk that you paid to attack me with a camera

handy to record the whole thing.

Why, Bob?

You think we're stupid?

That you can steal classified CIA intel from under our noses

with no repercussions?

We wouldn't have to steal if you'd let us know

what was going on.

You've been letting the politicians get to your head,

Sir Harry.

There is no special relationship.

When you're useful, you're useful; when you're not,

you're in the way.

I'll make a note of that.

Do you happen to know who's brokering the Iranian nuclear

arms deal?

You and your bellicose country want Iran to arm itself

precisely so you have the excuse to wipe them out.

That's a theory.

Too bad we intercepted.

We have the blueprints.

You Brits always were meddlesome idiots.

You wearing a wire?

- No. - You?

You have to let this handover go through.

Yeah, we fingered Adam to get you off our backs,

but this deal, there's a whole load more at stake.

You're talking as if this is your deal.

You set it up?

Yes, sir.

We heard Iran wanted to obtain nuclear triggers,

so we thought they'll get them anyway.

What? You're saying America's arming Iran?

No, we're selling them a set of blueprints that has

a deliberate error.

A tiny miscalculation that'll set their nuclear program

back a decade.

You put a stop to this charade.

Undo the Tim LaHare story.

We can still let this deal go through.

There isn't much time.

Designated handover's within the hour.

Ros, there's been a change of strategy,

I need you to get the blueprints out of the safe

and back to Valentino before the deal this afternoon.

Adam, we can't do that.

Everything's changed, I'll explain later.

No, Adam, we can't give anything to Valentino anymore.

We can't let Valentino's suicide stop the handover

from happening.

We simply have to find a replacement quickly.

A replacement for Valentino?

Somebody with no identity, no past.

Somebody we've interrogated,

with know nothing, say nothing, wouldn't be missed.

And most importantly, would disappear again afterwards.

I've got a coffee and five grand.

Which do you want first?

You're taking a risk, aren't you?

Presuming a man you've never met with Valentino.

It's a calculated risk.

We've got 15 minutes. - It'll take more like 20.

- We don't have 20. - I can't make it fly.

It's number 35.

There's no sign of Connie and the holdall.

What time is it.

It's one minute past.

One more minute and we missed it.

If anybody asks,

your name's Valentino.

All right? That's all you know.

Take this to number 35, okay?

Nothing else.

Is it drugs?

Something like that.

Is this the point where I get arrested and take

all the shit?

Just come back here afterwards.

We'll be waiting for you.

The Iranians are no fulls, Adam.

It's a chance we had to take, we had no other option.

It's a flawed plan, Adam, and you know it.

There could be a sniper at any moment.

When the surveillance on that holdall is activated,

you should be able to see exactly where those blueprints

are taken next.

Right down to which underground lab in Iran.

Adam was the victim of a smear campaign

run by an MI-5 officer with an ax to grind.

Got it.

You got everything you need?

Sure.

The link of Teran was fabricated in attempt

to sabotage his- - I've got it.

Bye.

Bye.

So typically American, so typically arrogant,

such a typically American plan.

The press have a watertight story.

Oh yes, we have Hogan's balls in a vice now.

Only five people know about their scheme.

Two of them are in our office.

He came up with a very convincing case about an ex officer

with an ax to grind.

Ben Kaplan did the rest.

Plus,

this evening's news,

the world has something else to think about.

A footballer has adopted twins.

Sorry, you're yesterday's story.

You going home?

Yeah.

Fancy a drink?

I'll even admit you were right.

As tempting as that sounds, I can't tonight.

Why, you got a better offer?

Maybe.

What?

You can't carry on seeing her, you know.

I thought she proved herself.

Look, I'm grateful for your help earlier, Ros, but-

Adam, do yourself a favor, okay?

Get out of there.

I don't need babysitting.

Fine.

You're on your own.

I'm not a fool, I know I've got to walk away.

As I said, you're on your own.

A good day by all accounts.

Yeah, well, you got what you wanted.

We all benefit from working together, Ros.

Which is exactly why I'm getting in touch.

There's something I thought you'd want to know.

It was really easy before.

My life was easy.

I wasn't torn in any direction.

I was occasionally bored, but I didn't mind.

This is the last time we'll see each other, isn't it?

And I should go.

It will only get more difficult.

Her mind is in the building.

They must all know.

Adam, you've got to get out of there.

Goodbye.

You okay?

Too much pain.

You need some water.

You poisoned me.

You poisoned.

I'm not stupid.

Don't.

Don't do this.

Don't.

No, no!

Please.

Which room is he in?

Which room's he in?!

I said, which room's he in!?

Where is he?!

Adam!

Adam!

Adam!

Adam, listen to me!

Adam!

Adam!

You, what did you give him?

You, what did you give him?

I don't know.

A drug.

My husband told me to use it.

I don't know.

I had to.

My husband found out.

I had no choice.

What do you want me to do with her, Adam?

Not exactly leaping to your defense, is he?

You give me one good reason why I shouldn't

pull the trigger.

I still have information that you need.

I could still be useful.

Please, we have heard it all before.

No, no, no, it's true.

I promise you. - Don't listen.

What information?

About the deal for the technical drawings.

The blueprints that were sold today,

my husband found out they were fake.

Go on.

So when he knew they were false, he set up another deal.

You were so busy looking in the wrong direction,

you missed it.

My country just obtained a real firing center.

We are now a nuclear power.
