Thank you. We need to find out where they're planning to plant the next bomb.

Lenny repeatedly raped and then strangled his wife.

It was my first big collar. Now what have they done?

Quashed his conviction.

We will win the race war!

You're just a bunch of fussers, aren't you? Can you help us out?

Cone charges.

You need to know what you're doing. I thought you were supposed to look after

when Dad's away.

The captain said you're thinking of radio -controlled devices.

Put it down.

My number's 01632 960 0009.

How's Liam doing?

A bit under the cosh at the moment.

It would be nice to hear from him sometime.

See, I don't get it. Do you employ brain -dead people because they're

interesting to look at? Events move too fast. They always do. We tried to get

backup teams in place. But you didn't. Liam was left totally exposed.

At least we got one of the white ghosts off the street. Off the street? They

were picking bits of him out of the gutter. I'm sure Liz didn't mean... What

mean is that no innocent member of the public was hurt.

And that makes it better.

Recriminations are going to get us nowhere.

We've got to look forward and see where this operation goes from here. As far as

I'm concerned, it's gone far enough.

You've got enough evidence to arrest the lot of them.

You claim Chapman put a timer on the device.

How do you know?

He was waiting for it to happen.

That's not enough, Liam.

In fact, the only forensics on the device link it to you.

I don't believe this.

The only way to nail the white ghost is to get them on another bombing run.

I'll give you career arrest, will you? We need a case that's watertight,

foolproof. We've got tapes of them conspiring in a terrorist act.

Our evidence officer has been through those recordings.

I'm afraid the only way those tapes would be admissible would be if Liam

the stand.

His career as an undercover officer would be over.

It's up to you, Liam.

We'd all understand if you wanted to pull out.

The stresses must take their toll.

You think I'm too frightened to go on?

No. But the white ghosts are dangerous and unpredictable.

The white ghosts couldn't scare the skin off a bowl of custard. I've seen what

they're capable of. I say we go on.

God, he's cruel, isn't he, Father?

Punishes us all.

Humble and the proud.

Breaks up families, kills the innocent.

Why do you think God does that?

Because it is his will.

Perhaps it's the willfulness of people who are confused, who have no

who lack contact with God.

You've read your Bible, Father.

Of course. You know that God is also the God of wrath, vengeance.

That's an aspect of divinity. Think of Abraham.

He was told by God to sacrifice his son Isaac. He held his knife to his son's

throat. He reprieved him. But Abraham would have done it. Killed his son,

his neck open.

That's faith.

That's belief.

That's devotion.

How have things been since you're released?

Freedom's hard.

It's very hard.

It's our blessing and our curse. God has given us free will.

We live and die by our own choices.

Hard to wield the sword of justice.

It cuts both ways.

You're in pain.

Doctors say I'm developing a tolerance to the morphine.

Lenny, before it's too late, have you thought about making a living will?

I'm making it, Father.

I'm making it.

I should get danger money for these hours.

Don't you get overtime then? Would I be driving that old crock if I did?

Are you getting flashbacks? No, I'm used to flashbacks. It is different.

Right, so what is it you see exactly?

I keep seeing him.

Dave. The boy who was killed.

What, you mean alive?

Yeah. I think some sort of hallucination.

Trick of the mind.

I know the how, I just don't know the why.

Oh, didn't know you smoke.

No, I don't.

So, why do you think you're hallucinating?

Well, you're the expert.

Okay, well, I think that you are haunted by his death.

Well, you get paid 40 quid an hour for that.

No, look, Liam, you have seen a lot of fatalities before and none of them have

affected you in this way, so obviously there is something else involved.

Maybe you feel guilty?

Responsible for what happened?

Yeah, the strange thing is I didn't really like the guy.

Could you have done anything to stop his death?

I tried.

So why do you feel responsible then? He was killed because they suspected a

grass informer.

So it could have been you?

It should have been you?

You, um, he must be missing your family.

Yeah, badly.

In the explosion, his head was blown clean off.

You know, I came thinking.

Tell me.

Well, did his head lose its body?

Or did his body lose his head?

Which bit belongs to the other?

Stupid, isn't it?

No, Liam, it's not stupid.

Sometimes I forget what I am.

It's this bloody tattoo. I think I might have blood poisoning.

Can't you get some time off to see your family?

No, it's too dangerous for them.

Well, if you don't, Liam, it could be dangerous for you.

to move on.

Max, you're going to be late.

What took you so long?

These stupid shoes.

Oh, poor Diddums can't type a shoelace, do they? Nicola. I can't do a plain tie.

Nicola. Will you two stop it? I'll wipe his own bum.

Shut up.

Shut up. Nicola, leave him alone.

It's not going to work, Max.

What?

Pretending you can't type a shoelace if their mum has to buy you another pair of

planes. Max, can you put your seatbelt on, please?

Visual on target.

Come by. You better get ready to follow Garth.

I can't. I've got to get to the hospital.

What? It's Pam and the kids. They've had an accident.

What are we going to do?

Well, you'll just have to run back up on your own. But I've never done that

before. Tina.

What happens to your anti -surveillance?

But you realise we could have special branch -up hierarchies after what

to Dave?

Wake up, man. Smell the coffee.

Well, that's just it.

I can't wake up.

I can't seem to get rid of this mist.

Kirk, there's nothing on the windscreen. The only mist is in your bloody head.

I know.

Like I'm dreaming.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Oh, thank God you're both okay.

What happened?

Mum went into the side of the neighbour. Yeah, what was the accident?

Max wasn't wearing his seatbelt and he got thrown forward into mum.

Don't look so worried.

It's his routine for a head injury.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

They say they have to keep me in overnight for observation.

The kids will be fine. They can stay with friends.

Can you keep an eye on Max for a couple of hours?

Yeah.

Are they doing okay?

You know what kids are like.

I bounce back quickly.

So I've heard.

Max has got no cuts or bruises?

No.

Bit of a dent to his ego, maybe, but that's all.

I'm so glad it was only me.

I can't bear it if one of the kids were hurt. Me neither.

I'm supposed to be uncalled to this family 24 hours a day. Fat lot of good

done to you so far.

Don't you start blaming yourself, too.

I don't need to. Liam will do that for me.

Oh, what is it, love?

It should be Liam holding my hand.

We'd better get a move on.

Oh, yeah?

I'm wise, aren't I?

Well, it won't be long before the filth get here.

And why would the police want to come here, eh?

Well, they're going to trace the motorbike.

No, we thought about that.

That's why we bought an untraceable bike, Lee.

So come on, then.

Who's going to lead the police here, eh? Well, eventually they're going to

identify the body.

There wasn't much left of him to identify.

No, no, no.

See, I'm really not happy about this, am I?

I'm really not very happy!

What's your problem, Andy?

It's just that I can smell something and it smells really fishy.

You know what I mean?

Got a problem with your personal hygiene, have you, Andy?

You see, everything was running so smoothly until we got ourselves this new

recruit. It wasn't running smoothly. It wasn't running at all. Dave was a good

lad.

He might have been a bit strange in that, but at least he was committed.

someone set him up.

If you're trying to fix me for Dave's death, then you should be committed too.

What happened to him, Lee, eh?

Ask Kirk.

No, I'm asking you.

You're the one with the guilty face.

What do you reckon, Kirk?

I think... we need some new recruits.

Some fresh blood.

Yeah, let's try and avoid the blood with this time, shall we? Yeah, well, you'd

better get us a decent target.

I want something big, a memorial.

Memorial for David.

What do you have in mind?

I don't know.

Something in a Jewish area. Synagogue.

That'd be nice, wouldn't it, Hayley?

I'll work on it.

You do that.

That wouldn't be a miss.

You heard them.

Those two are as jumpy as hell. They're already planning the next bombing run.

Didn't Garth get in contact with you?

Wasn't he on backup, Jodie?

No, no, I did it solo.

Look, there's been an accident at your home.

Eh? No, it's OK. No -one's been seriously hurt.

Who are you calling?

Operation HQ.

I take permission to see the family.

I'm sorry, but you can't.

It's too dangerous.

You don't want those, do you? You look like a homeboy.

All right, go on, then. It's your treat.

What happened to them other trainers, anyway?

I don't know.

You'd lose your head if it wasn't screwed on.

Why do grown -ups always have to let you?

I'm flattered you think I'm a grown -up.

Yeah?

No. No, the garage is looking at the car at the moment.

What, faulty brake pads, you reckon?

Of course.

Yeah.

Anyway, do you want a word with Max?

Yeah, he's just here.

Speak to you later, mate. Ta -ra.

Hi, Dad.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Two,

please. Size 10 and size 5.

Well, you're a regular little chatterbox, aren't you?

I didn't have anything to say.

Anyway, I was busy.

He's never too busy to speak to you. He loves you, Max. You know that.

So why have those two gimps got it in for you?

No, no, don't look round. Don't let them know that they wind you up.

It's all those trainers at school.

It was those divvies, was it?

Why don't you tell your teacher?

I'd only make things worse.

They'd call me a snitch.

Well... It's a good thing it's my job to recover stolen property.

Oh, don't.

Please. Mac.

No.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on, Max. Big strike.

Just the one.

Oh,

come on, big boy.

Don't let them grind you down.

I've just got something in my eye.

You know they only bully you because you're better than them.

You don't understand.

Don't let them make you a victim.

It's nothing to do with me.

It's because of Dad.

They call him a pig.

You know, things like that.

And you stick up for your dad, yeah?

Well, I've got some top tips on how to deal with bullies. You ready?

Lesson one.

Escape and evasion.

You use those new trainers you've got to run away from them as fast as you can.

And if that doesn't work, we try lesson two.

Pain compliance.

Kick them in the goolies as hard as you can.

They've gone.

The synagogue's about to be refurbished, so it's going to be out of action for

the next few months.

Good.

This way we get to control all the as -ifs, no sudden surprises.

Meanwhile, I want you to make some more inquiries into Chapman.

I don't trust Alfie until we get from HQ.

And how am I going to explain that?

You're a concerned wife. You're wondering who your husband is mixing

it's my last one. I need it more than you.

What's up with you?

You look like you think... A ghost, yeah, a good one.

I mean, he's aged very badly, but then he's been on chemo, but it was the eyes.

I gave it away.

What are you talking about?

I was out shopping, buying new trainers for your lad, and I got this feeling,

you know, hairs on the back of your neck. It was like we were under

surveillance.

And then I saw the face.

Then he went over?

That would explain the car accident as well.

Mechanical failure?

Brake pads and warning lights fail at the same time. Bit of a coincidence,

you think?

Do you mind if I go over Garth alone for a moment?

You look terrible.

Well, I feel it, mate.

And if I've brought trouble on your wife, your family, I'll never forgive

myself. There's nothing to worry about. You're just seeing ghosts.

Nothing to worry about.

I've been there.

It's what happens when your past catches up with you.

Yeah, but it's not me he's catching up with. It's your family.

You feel haunted by what happened with Wendover. Your guilt is making you see

things.

Liam, you've never drawn a stupid breath in your life. Why start now?

If it makes you feel happy, I will get Pam and the kids to go away for the

weekend, okay?

Come on, Pam, we're ready.

Coming.

Can we stop somewhere on the way?

If we're quick, where do you want to go?

Dr Marta Drusick, University College.

Why do you want to go there?

My husband doesn't talk to me. Maybe he'll shrink well.

My God, he said you were coming.

What brings you here?

It's a bit awkward.

Yeah, well, isn't it always?

Come in.

I've got someone with me, actually.

Pam.

Liam's wife.

Ah. Pop in any time, counselling while you wait, eh?

Don't hope.

Traumas are us.

Send her in, then.

Dr Drissick.

Yes. Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.

I'll bet.

What happened?

I'm struggling, Father.

I'm really struggling.

I feel I'm wrestling with a dark angel.

And away you are, Lenny.

The angel of death.

Before I die, I want to put things right.

You're so hard on yourself.

I can't rest till I put things right.

Lenny, this is all part of the anguish and glory of being human.

Why did I think you'd understand?

There's no way you could understand.

There's a limit to how much I can help you.

I think maybe now's the time to seek some medical advice. Call yourself a

Christian. You don't know the meaning of the word. Look at you.

For all your airs and graces, you're just a lily -livered liberal. I've been

there, on the sharp edge.

I know what it's like.

You talk about sacrifice, but you don't know what it's like.

To be Abraham.

To listen to God's command.

To hold a knife to your son's throat.

Lenny. Yes.

You're always talking about justice.

Yes. But what about, what about, what about mercy?

What gives you the right to preach to me?

You're doomed like the rest of them. You'll burn in hell come judgment day.

at your God.

He's weak.

Submissive.

The eternal victim.

Well, I'm not going to be a victim anymore.

You know, I even thought you were having an affair with him once.

No.

But in a way, you are.

He's probably more intimate with you than he is with me.

Has he never explained?

All deep cover officers have to have regular psychological assessments.

Why is that?

Well, think about it.

Deep cover requires Liam to meet some extremely dangerous people.

He gets to know them over months, maybe years.

Befriends them, thinks like them.

And they're just at the point where he's actually getting to like them.

Knows their mum, their friends, all their problems.

He has to betray them.

Sounds like the ideal job for Liam.

Why did you decide to come here?

I was just curious.

Why now?

I think our marriage is over.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I accepted it.

I accepted the lies.

The silences.

Phone calls in the middle of the night.

Long periods away.

Because I knew that Liam was trying to protect us.

Me and the kids.

But what's changed?

This accident.

I suppose I knew the deal didn't really work anymore.

He can't protect us, can he?

Good morning.

The clerk ain't coming.

He wanted us to do the wrecking first, Lee.

What is wrong with you now, eh?

Was she the new recruit?

They have petrol deliverers every Friday night.

So we're going to hit the place when everyone's gathered to the tavern.

Nice.

You know what you let yourself in for?

Yeah. The beginning of the counter -offensive. I've seen her in action,

She's more than a match for most men.

Aryans are warriors.

It's in their blood.

We know what happened to the last warrior who did this.

Yeah. But I can't die.

I'm already dead.

Where's Tina?

I've got to do some checks.

Anything in the window, then?

It was weird. I went round to his lodgings. His landlady said he'd moved

hospice to die, but her neighbour said they'd seen him driving round in a gas

van. He's been paranoid, Garth.

I'm only concerned for the sake of your kids. Yeah, well, they're safe and

sound. It's up to her on the coast.

Yeah, but I think you'd better give Pam a ring. She's worried about you.

Yeah, I will when this op is finished.

It's all set for Friday.

We'll let the whole synagogue plot it up.

Ah, if he is. Now, what was it?

Manicure, pedicure? No, fresh and urgent.

Well, turn it down.

What's up?

The house is wired, isn't it?

Yeah, but only by hour, love. Yeah, and I'm worried about it.

I did some checking with some of Chapman's old army mates.

They were a bit reluctant to talk at first, but I soon got around them in the

end. Yeah, okay, go on. Well, you won't be surprised to hear that Chapman's a

bit of a fantasist.

The mercenaries stuck in Croatia.

He didn't make it to the front line.

Army types are full of bullshit, so... One thing they all agreed on is what

Chapman's up to now.

Who's got a cigarette?

You as well.

Yeah. I've got the shakes.

Sorry.

According to his mates the last few years, Kirk Chapman's been working as a

watcher for MI5.

You mean he's a spook?

Oh, shit. I told you you couldn't trust MI5. This is a set -up.

Do you think Chapman's part of some plot?

No. I think Chapman's lost the plot completely.

So, what's this all about?

Try wearing a wire in here.

What's got into you all of a sudden?

Who was this watchman?

I just wanted to talk about the run on Friday.

I thought you were understocked.

I like to keep arm's length.

Oh, yeah, I know that.

He likes to pull strings from a distance.

You've got a problem with that, Lee.

You're the one with the problems.

Yeah, right now, my biggest problem is you.

What's the matter, Lee?

Who's in your bowl?

Things getting a bit rough for you?

Don't like playing big boys games?

Is that what this is to you? A game?

If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen.

You like it hot, don't you, Kirk?

So what gave you the idea for the White Ghosts?

It's what I was trained for.

Oh, don't give me that.

See, I know all about you.

I've done my research.

I know where you're coming from, but what I can't work out for the life of me

where you're going.

In the army, they should have told you it's ready, aim, fire, but you're all

over the place. It's ready, fire, aim.

So why did you call the group the White Ghosts?

I can't really remember.

What's that?

Are you some sort of transfer? I don't believe you, Kirk.

Now you better tell me, what is your mission?

You wouldn't believe me.

So what's it all about?

I can't remember.

You know, sometimes I think my life is just a movie.

I'm just speaking the words, going through the motions.

I look in the mirror.

And I don't know who I am.

Nothing seems real anymore.

I can't stop!

The phantoms, Lee, were not real.

Oh, come on. Dave's death was pretty bloody real.

Yeah.

I thought it would be, too.

But, you know, Dave's death, that was the most unreal thing of all.

It's over, Kirk.

Okay? Whatever you say.

Whatever you want me to be.

Sorry to drag you out of bed.

This had better be urgent.

You wait.

Who's this?

This is Dr Marta Drisic.

She got security clearance?

She regularly works as an outside psychology consultant for us.

She's signed official secrets?

Just not the unofficial ones.

Obviously, I haven't had time to conduct a proper interview or assessment, but I

had a look at his medical records as well, and I would guess that Kirk

is suffering from dissociated identity syndrome.

Meaning? In English?

Just what it says.

In English.

He acts in a fragmented, dissociated way. He has an unsure and unstable

personality. His identity is disordered.

Do you mean he has multiple personalities?

No, no, it's the same personality, but just in fragments that don't communicate

with each other.

It's an occupational hazard, really. I mean, we call it the Zellig syndrome,

which is where the false persona takes over from the real one.

When you say occupational hazard, can you be a bit more precise? Which

occupation?

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that was obvious.

Undercover officers.

Thank you, Dr Drew Thicke.

Could you let us have closed session for a while?

Thanks for your dance.

Oh, no, that's OK.

Hey, do you want to hear this?

Frankie's ripping the shit out of them.

Especially if it means the operation's going to be over sooner.

What if it comes over to me?

Well, good.

Maybe you can pay a bit more attention to your home life, eh?

Spend a bit of time with Pamela. No idea whether he'd gone native or... Native?

What are you talking about? He's inhabiting another planet. Mum, this is

syndrome. I mean, I don't understand. Ever since I had the cover office, I

forget who he really is.

Easier than you think.

So what's the crack? Chapman was one of your spooks all along, was he? A rogue

operative, I'm afraid.

It happens from time to time. So what happens now?

Commander Beckwith and I agree that Operation Nemesis is over. No, I meant

Kirk.

His contract is terminated.

I don't like the sound of that.

So that's it? We let Lester and his girlfriend go?

You heard what she said. The operation is over.

Why don't you let me and him see what we can do? I don't want two rogue

operatives of mine.

Come on, Frankie.

Okay, you've got a day.

Then you're both going home.

What's the package shop doing open?

All right, we'll have to see about that, won't we?

Time to collect more stamps.

You.

Where's Ramesh?

I'm afraid he's gone to see his mother.

Well, I'm looking after the shop while he's away. Can I help you? Yes, you can.

I told Ramesh I don't want the shop open when I'm around.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Then let me explain it to you, boy.

If you don't want dog shit on your door, petrol through your letterbox, shut up

shop.

Now.

Well, why would you want to do something like that? Oh, he's something else,

this one Mickey boy.

Is that what you did to Ramesh?

Yes. And he seemed to learn quite quickly.

And what if I don't respond to your threats?

We'll do what we usually do.

You see, now you wouldn't be the first of your kind I've cut up.

Do you understand me?

You've done this before, haven't you?

I've had a lot of practice.

When? Who to?

Do you want names?

Dave to Tretty?

Yes, Andy.

That would save a bit of time. Biggie boy, get out of here. It's a set up.

They've got him on racially motivated assault, arson and criminal damage.

It works.

Shame they didn't snatch his twisted girlfriend at the same time.

Here she comes.

She'll lead us to the explosives and then we'll strike.

Charlie, don't run. Target is off, off, off.

Back up.

Looks like we'll soon be going home. Hey.

Oh, God, I knew they were coming. I was supposed to do.

I'm Pamela. I haven't spoken to her since the accident.

Talk about zeal extinction.

Hello, Pam?

Where are you?

Just stop for a minute. Bart needed a pee.

We had it back home.

Yeah, I thought we had to stay away for the weekend.

Yeah, no, no, it should be safe by now.

What do you mean, should be?

Liam? Well, no, it's probably just a false alarm. Anyway, look, the way

are going, I should be back this evening.

This evening?

Why, is there something wrong?

Where do you want me to start?

I'm not sure, Liam.

I'm not sure I want you back at all.

Maybe you should find a place of your own.

Yeah. Well, what's up? Are the kids okay?

Liam, speak to me. Charlie Delta 6.

I can't believe that. I think she's found me out.

Hummel is what?

Charlie Delta 6.

Target's down. We can get you a great vehicle.

Charlie Delta 1. Describe vehicle.

Land Rover.

I thought they'd called him off.

Yes, so did I.

They're heading north in convoy in the Mill Hill Barnet area.

Okay, we'll rendezvous at the next junction to take out Tarkington.

Need a backup strike team.

What's going on? Is the office trolling?

It looks like they're going ahead with the bombing run. Do you think MI5 are

treading on our dicks?

More likely cooked out of his bloody head.

I don't get it.

Well, what's going into... Oh,

Mum,

look at the roses.

Shit, I've just remembered.

What?

We're nearly there.

No wonder Pam's so pissed off.

I forgot to tell her where her anniversary present was.

Oh, thanks, mate.

Thanks, you're very kind, Mr Hunt. My pleasure.

Has anything happened while we've been away?

No, I don't think so.

Nothing ever happened, sir.

Off to the shops. Do you want anything? Come and shop, can you hear me?

Scott.

Oh, except the gas ball came round to fix a leak.

Oh, thanks, Mr... The neighbour said they'd seen him driving round in a gas

Did he just say from the gas board?

Here he is.

Just wait there. Don't...

What's the matter, man?

I don't know. I'm dying for a pee.

What is he saying, actually?

What do you think you're doing?

What are you doing, my job? Your contract is finished, Kirk.

Terminated. Didn't your bosses tell you that? Liam!

I'm in charge now. Liam, we've got to get help. Yeah, he's beyond help. Don't

for the family. I think Wendover's been to your house. Well, get on the radio.

Personal incident procedure.

What are you doing? I'm taking you out. You're finished.

Mom,

I haven't played on my Nintendo for ages.

Why can't we just go in? Garth told me to wait.

Mom, phone.

Wrong number.

You're a bunch of amateurs, aren't you?

Don't you even know basic procedure?

There's an explosive device in my car.

You're supposed to secure the area.

Right. You'd better make sure the road's secure.

Are you taking a piss?

Taking the piss?

Is the device active?

It's on a timer.

What's the time now?

answering me because you turned off the bloody phone.

This is my fault. I led Wendover to them. I put them in danger.

We're miles away. Get on the radio.
