00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,959
ZAK: 'You're running an op against
the chief of Russian intelligence

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,959
'while he's on holiday,

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,479
'which they would consider
highly provocative.

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,959
'To justify an op like this,

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,959
'Igor would have to be trading
top-grade insights with his son.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,479
'Who's your agent in there anyway?'

7
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,959
'She's Mikhail Borodin's
Russian nanny.'

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,960
200 hours of battery life.

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,479
IN RUSSIAN:

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,800
He's got nothing
to be suspicious about.

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,959
INDISTINCT RUSSIAN,
LAUGHTER

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,000
I think that's Kyril Markov.
He's a ruthless bastard.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,959
Who's the poor bastard in
our Cabinet with pancreatic cancer?

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,959
Igor and Kyril Markov hook you in,

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,959
we spend the next ten years
chasing a ghost.

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,319
Or it's true,
and we've just got wind of it.

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,959
Emergency statement from the PM.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,959
Given my condition, I feel I owe it
to you all to offer my resignation.

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,959
I will remain in place
until a new leader is chosen.

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,959
If a minister running for leadership

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,959
has been bribed or blackmailed,
we'd be catastrophically exposed.

22
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,959
Before I authorise an investigation
into any leading politician,

23
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,479
I'll need concrete evidence.

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,160
The mic battery's dead.
Lena.

25
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,000
Sweet dreams, eh?

26
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,960
FLOORBOARD CREAKS

27
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,960
SHE GASPS

28
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,800
SHE SCREAMS

29
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Your little Lenochka
was spying on us.

30
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,959
And now, she's going to tell me
all her secrets.

31
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,959
Go back to your bed.

32
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,960
I'm her boss now.

33
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,640
KYRIL SHOUTS
IN RUSSIAN

34
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,960
LENA SQUEALS

35
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Thank you.

36
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,960
You wanted to see me?

37
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,959
I'm assuming the original intel
for this Maltese op

38
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,959
came from Cyclops?

39
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,959
Yes. He told me about
Igor's annual trips to Valletta.

40
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,959
So that information was a plant.
Everything else is, too.

41
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,959
It wasn't. His explanation
was entirely credible.

42
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,959
So you're sure of the intelligence.
What about him?

43
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,959
It's all in the file.

44
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,159
I've known him since I was a student
in St Petersburg.

45
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,959
And 18 years later,
he shows up in London,

46
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,959
working undercover
at the Russian Embassy.

47
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,959
A senior Moscow intelligence officer
apparently looking to switch lanes.

48
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,639
He was already disillusioned.
Ukraine was the final straw.

49
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,959
You obviously kept in touch.

50
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,959
We stayed friends.
Mm.

51
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Were you ever lovers?
No.

52
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,959
Did you want to be?

53
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Not relevant.
Did he?

54
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,959
Briefly, perhaps,

55
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,959
but, erm, I was already engaged
to Stuart.

56
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,960
So even if we'd wanted to...
Ah, I see.

57
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,959
So it's what he might have done
but didn't

58
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,959
that makes you so sure
of his loyalty.

59
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,319
A moment of weakness, perhaps...

60
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,960
that he chose not
to take advantage of?

61
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,959
Isn't that worthy of trust?

62
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,960
We can all lie to someone we love.

63
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
And I had you down
as an incurable romantic.

64
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,960
This job rather beats that
out of you, I'm afraid.

65
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,959
You're one of our best
agent runners, Kate,

66
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,999
but a great desk head
requires many qualities.

67
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,959
Certainty isn't one of them.

68
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,959
So you're backing Zak?

69
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,999
You need to find out
if your friend Cyclops

70
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,959
has been playing you,
inadvertently or not.

71
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,959
Or you won't just be the youngest
Head of the Russia Desk,

72
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,960
you'll be the shortest-serving, too.

73
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,959
REPORTER: 'Will you run
for leadership, Foreign Secretary?'

74
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,959
RYAN: 'Right now, my thoughts
are just with Anthony and Jane.'

75
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,959
'But, Foreign Secretary, you've got
five days to the election.

76
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,959
'Don't be so coy. You need to
get a move on, really, don't you?'

77
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:52,959
'I think in a situation like this,

78
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,960
'it's very important to maintain
our composure as a party.' Mm.

79
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,640
What did C have to offer?
Strategic ambiguity.

80
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,159
His speciality.

81
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,959
Meaning we have to prove
that we were right, or we're fucked.

82
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,959
Ah.
And Echo might be, too.

83
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,959
I'm gonna set up a meeting
with Cyclops tomorrow morning

84
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,960
at the London safe house.
Sure.

85
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,799
You need to shut that down.
Zak's in the building.

86
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Yeah, course, but it's a shame
we can't show them this.

87
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,959
Come on.

88
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,959
That's Mr Ryan Walker leaving
the NATO conference last night,

89
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,959
after the PM's announcement,
by the back door.

90
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,959
No official car. No PPOs.

91
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,959
And no Special Adviser,
Melissa Morris.

92
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,959
No, nothing. So I talked

93
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,959
to our Portuguese friends,
did a little triangulation,

94
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,479
and this was the drop-off point.

95
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,159
Little villa in the hills.
Guess who owns it?

96
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,959
Er, Putin's secret mistress?
Close.

97
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Try Dmitri Krimsov's brother-in-law.

98
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,959
Are you serious?
Oh, yeah.

99
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,799
So, Mr Walker's response

100
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,959
to the resignation
of our Prime Minister

101
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,960
is to go AWOL
with the Russian Foreign Minister.

102
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,959
Are you certain
that Krimsov was at the villa?

103
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,959
HE SNIGGERS

104
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Well, he got there
half an hour before Ryan.

105
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,959
Now, there was another arrival
in a taxi from the Lisbon Royale.

106
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,959
I... I haven't ID'd him yet,

107
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,959
but are you ready
for the piece de resistance?

108
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,959
Yeah.

109
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,959
The man in the Merc is Lev Amatov,

110
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,960
our cuddly British oligarch.

111
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,959
So, Ryan meets the Russian
Foreign Minister off-grid in a...

112
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,959
Hiya.

113
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,959
...off-grid in a get-together

114
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,959
brokered by a billionaire
with historic ties to the Kremlin.

115
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,960
Well, I would call that
politically suspect.

116
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Otherwise known... as murky as fuck.

117
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,959
Stuart had a night out with Melissa
at the last party conference.

118
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,959
He said she seemed disillusioned
by working with Ryan.

119
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,959
I should talk to her.
Mm.

120
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,959
We need to talk more about this.
But not here.

121
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,959
Sure. Do you fancy a cuppa?

122
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,960
Yeah.

123
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,959
If this leaks, Ryan's finished.
Mm.

124
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,959
Why take the risk
of going in person?

125
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,959
IN RUSSIAN ACCENT:
An offer he couldn't refuse.

126
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,959
OWN ACCENT: Or maybe Ryan is the one
with the ask.

127
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,959
On which subject,

128
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,159
why would Imogen
accept a 200-grand donation

129
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,959
from a man like Lev Amatov?

130
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,959
Well, on paper,
you could argue that he's legit.

131
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,319
Right? I mean, Eton, Cambridge,

132
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,999
he's the chairman
of Gold Scope Media.

133
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,959
Man's a tech tycoon.

134
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,959
Plus, he's on the board
of the British Museum

135
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,960
and the Courtauld Institute,
along with Ryan's wife.

136
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,999
Imogen went to this conference
in Portonovi two years ago.

137
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,959
Stuart went.

138
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,799
Pretty sure he said
that Lev Amatov was there.

139
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,959
Well, there's plenty of dirty money
in Montenegro, you know.

140
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,799
It's a shame we can't investigate.

141
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Assuming we follow our orders.

142
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,639
If Zak finds out
we're working off the books...

143
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,959
Well, he won't, OK?
Not if we get out of his eye line.

144
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,959
Look, as long as you're working
on his debrief,

145
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,960
he's not gonna give two shits
where I am.

146
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,960
Anywhere in mind?

147
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,960
Yeah. Come on.

148
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,960
It's just round here.

149
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,479
You live so close.

150
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,160
Yeah, well, it means I can wake up
whenever I want to.

151
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Come in.

152
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,959
Well, it's close to HQ,
and it's off Zak's radar,

153
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,959
so I'll take it.

154
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,959
Right, here's a spare key.
Thank you.

155
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,959
It's my partner, Sandy's,

156
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,960
but he's never around,
so now, it's yours.

157
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,319
My money is on Ryan declaring first.

158
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,959
Well, if Imogen goes up against him,

159
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,799
Stuart thinks most of the others
will back her.

160
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,959
All right, so let's start
with the two of them, then.

161
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,799
And if anyone else joins the race,
I'll go digging.

162
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,960
Cool?
Yeah.

163
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,960
Five days. Better get on with it.

164
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,960
It's gonna be a long night.

165
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,960
IGOR SPEAKING RUSSIAN

166
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,000
IN RUSSIAN:

167
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,960
IGOR SHOUTS
IN RUSSIAN

168
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:37,960
DOOR SHUTS

169
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,960
Are you running an op in Valletta?

170
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,959
Malta's been put on the alert list
last night.

171
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,959
It came through at the embassy.

172
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,960
What's the alert about?
I don't know.

173
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,480
Did you put an agent in the villa?

174
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,960
I need to go through your tip-off
about Igor's holidays in Valletta.

175
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,960
Is there any chance
it could be a plant?

176
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Is that why we're here?
You think I set you up?

177
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,960
Your bosses do.

178
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,959
The intel from my op was seismic,
much bigger than we expected.

179
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,999
And the chief's now worried
about blow-back.

180
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,960
What did you find out?

181
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,959
Could you have been set up?

182
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,959
Could anyone know we've got ears
in the villa? Not from me.

183
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,480
SHE EXHALES

184
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,960
Kate, you're gonna have
to trust my judgment on this.

185
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,960
Unless you think I'd lie to you?
Of course I don't.

186
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,479
Try to find out what you can
about the red flag on Malta.

187
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,959
It's important.
OK.

188
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,960
I'll be in touch in the usual way.

189
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,960
DOOR CLOSES

190
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,959
JULIE: 'Morning.'

191
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,959
When did you last hear from Echo?
'Last night.'

192
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,959
A message saying she hadn't changed
the battery in the mic.

193
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,959
It's possible Moscow knows
we're watching Igor.

194
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,319
Fuck. How?

195
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,159
I don't know yet, but they've
just put Malta on the alert list.

196
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,959
'There was a big police bust on Gozo
last night. It was on the news.

197
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,959
'It could be over that.'
What happened?

198
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,799
Some fintech company
breaching Russian sanctions.

199
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:35,959
Enough to get Moscow's back up.

200
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,479
You know how they like to think
of this island as theirs.

201
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,959
'Maybe.'

202
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,959
But first,
we need to make sure Echo's safe.

203
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,959
How close can you get to the villa?

204
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,959
Not that close.

205
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,959
But there's a view
from the top of the cliff.

206
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,999
Go there. I'll speak to Rose
about this Gozo bust thing.

207
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,959
Don't send Echo any more messages
until we've had eyes on her.

208
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,800
Yeah. OK.

209
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,959
I know even talking
about immigration

210
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,959
offends your metropolitan
sensibilities.

211
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,959
I'd appreciate it if you didn't
make an assumption like that.

212
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,959
My point is, it's...
it's not a left or a right issue.

213
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,959
I'm a passionate believer
in our multi-cultural society,

214
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,959
but it's gotta be protected.

215
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,959
Protected from what?

216
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,639
From being swamped
by uncontrolled, poorly managed,

217
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,959
illegal migration.

218
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,959
But only last week,

219
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,959
the Home Secretary said
we need migrants to do the jobs

220
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,479
that other people don't wanna do.

221
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,959
Yeah, well, even so,

222
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,959
we've been letting in hundreds
of thousands of people a year

223
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,959
for more than a decade
without building the homes,

224
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,959
the hospitals or anything else
we need to accommodate them.

225
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,959
And does that strike you two
as sane?

226
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,959
It's going to be hard
to keep the economy moving

227
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,959
with zero immigration
and a higher rate of tax of 70%,

228
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,959
which is what you're proposing.

229
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,960
Yeah, on salaries over
a quarter of a million pounds.

230
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,959
So, obviously, it would be
a great shame to lose you both.

231
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,959
Sinn Fein, this morning,
are calling for a referendum

232
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,999
on whether Northern Ireland
should leave the United Kingdom.

233
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,960
If you become Prime Minister,
would you agree to that demand?

234
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,960
Well... perhaps it's time
we asked the English.

235
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,959
They pay for the union, after all.

236
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,959
The UK, in or out?

237
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,959
Foreign Secretary,

238
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,479
is that really how you are launching
your campaign,

239
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,960
by playing the dog whistle
of English nationalism?

240
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,959
What the hell was all that about?

241
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,799
The right-wing press
are gonna lose their shit. Good.

242
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,959
Just shaking things up.

243
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,959
Step away from the middle,
maybe catch a wave.

244
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,959
Or you drown, Ryan.
We've only got four days.

245
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,319
You wanted to start our campaign
with a bang. Well, this is it.

246
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,959
The bang was supposed
to be a tough case

247
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:40,959
on pulling back on immigration,

248
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,959
not throwing petrol
on a nationalist bonfire.

249
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,479
It's an election race, Melissa.
I have to offer change.

250
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,959
Well, our MPs are gonna hate it.

251
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,959
Yeah, some will. But the party
rank and file will agree with me,

252
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,960
more than they'd want to admit.

253
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,959
I get it, course I do.

254
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,959
But the next time
you are going disappear all night,

255
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,959
if you could just send me a text,
that would be great, thank you.

256
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,959
Sorry. Something came up.
'Well, I hope it was worth it.

257
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,959
'It's absolute chaos here.'

258
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,959
I don't know if you saw that lunatic
on GMB this morning

259
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,799
talking about a referendum
for the English to leave the UK.

260
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,319
'It's just the populist playbook.'

261
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,959
He can't mean it, can he?
'Well, who knows?'

262
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,959
At least he's put a rocket
up Imogen's arse now he's declared.

263
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,960
I mean, she's still on the fence.
'Do you think anyone else will run?'

264
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,959
No, not if she stops dragging
her bloody heels, no.

265
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,479
Oh, babe, before I forget,

266
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,959
you know that conference
in Montenegro,

267
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,959
the one you didn't wanna go to?

268
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,159
That was a tourist industry
junket thing, wasn't it?

269
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,319
Yeah, for hotels. Yeah,
we were pitching for investment.

270
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,959
'Why?'
Do you remember who set it up?

271
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,799
It's just the Foreign Office
are on my back

272
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,959
about reviewing
ministers' security abroad.

273
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,959
Like I need the extra bloody admin.
'Yes, I do remember who set it up.'

274
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,479
It was the master of slime himself,
Lev Amatov.

275
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,639
He, er... He invited us
and sort of random backbenchers.

276
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,959
I mean, me and Josh told Imogen
she shouldn't bother,

277
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,959
but she was adamant for some reason.

278
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:04,959
'Did you get the investment?'

279
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,959
No, course we didn't. The only thing
I got was that food poisoning.

280
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:08,959
Remember the food poisoning I got?

281
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,319
Oh, yeah, the famous squid.

282
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,959
'From the squid, yes, disgusting.
Ugh! Please...'

283
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,959
I've gotta go.

284
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,959
Oh, listen, don't forget, tonight,
it's Fiona's parent-teacher thing.

285
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,959
We are under strict instructions

286
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,639
to NOT wear anything embarrassing,
OK?

287
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,959
I mean, as far as she's concerned,
that's impossible. Love you.

288
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,959
All right. Love...

289
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,960
DISCONNECT TONE
...you too.

290
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,959
I spoke to GCHQ and Langley.

291
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,959
They haven't heard any chatter
coming out Malta

292
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,959
other than the Gozo bust,

293
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,800
so it probably is the reason
Moscow flagged it.

294
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,959
"Probably" isn't enough.

295
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,960
We'll regroup as soon as Julie's
got a closer look at Echo.

296
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,999
What's the news on her brother?

297
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,959
We've moved him to a hostel
in St Petersburg.

298
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,959
As soon as you pull her out,

299
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,960
we'll have him on his way
to the border.

300
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,960
CAMERA WHIRRS

301
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,640
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

302
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,960
That's a nice brochure.

303
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,320
Look at the date.
Look at who was there.

304
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,479
It was two weeks before
Lev made his first donation

305
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,959
to Harry Conrad's charity.

306
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,959
Hmm. Well, that's not
a very subtle quid pro quo, is it?

307
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,999
Exactly.

308
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,959
So why not declare it?

309
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,999
To stop the press from finding out
she's got ties to an oligarch.

310
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,959
It's not a very good look
for the Home Office.

311
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,999
So, are you gonna ask her about it?

312
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,959
I think I'll start
with Angela White.

313
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,959
PHONE RINGS

314
00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,999
It's Julie.

315
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,959
What's the news?
'I can't see her.'

316
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,959
I've only got a limited view
on the terrace,

317
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,960
but Matti is giving Sandro
his breakfast.

318
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,959
Stay where you are

319
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,960
and call me the second
you see anything different.

320
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,639
Well, if it is what you say it is,

321
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,959
it would be a game-changer,
wouldn't it?

322
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,959
No, I think we should wait.

323
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,959
Timing's not right
at the moment, but...

324
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,960
OK. OK, yeah, thanks.
OK, I'll call you later.

325
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,959
Right.

326
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,479
A video involving
a certain female politician's

327
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,959
just been brought to my attention.

328
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,959
OK. What... kind of video?

329
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,959
We'll just have
to use our imaginations.

330
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,959
What? A sex video of Imogen Conrad?

331
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,959
Shh. It sounds implausible,
but I have it on good authority.

332
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,959
Well, how do you know
it's gonna leak?

333
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,959
I don't. I've just been tipped off
that it might.

334
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,959
By who?
A journalist.

335
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,319
I don't know.
It doesn't matter who, does it?

336
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,639
We just need a strategy
in case it does.

337
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,959
Of course,
I sincerely hope it doesn't.

338
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,960
It'll have nothing to do with us,
will it, Ryan?

339
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,959
You wanted to see me?

340
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,959
Mrs White,
I'm not sure if you remember me.

341
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,159
Of course I do.

342
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,959
You gave no quarter
to the committee,

343
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,959
which strikes me as a good quality
in your line of work.

344
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,999
Let me sign you in.

345
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,960
I think it's better
if we take a walk. Is that OK?

346
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,959
I was at the Montenegro conference
because Lev asked me to be,

347
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,959
and I made no secret of that.

348
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,959
To save you the trouble,
he is a donor to my local party.

349
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,959
It seemed like a reasonable ask.

350
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,999
Did the Home Secretary
discuss her goals for the trip?

351
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,959
I barely saw her. I assumed she was
there as a favour to Lev, like me,

352
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,799
but she didn't seem to be taking
any of it very seriously.

353
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,959
What do you mean by that?
She wasn't at any of the talks.

354
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,959
She seemed... let's put it this way,
otherwise occupied.

355
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,959
With what?

356
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,960
She spent an awful lot of time
horsing around with her aide.

357
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,799
There were two of them, I think.

358
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,959
One of them was laid up
with a tummy bug.

359
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,959
It was the other one. John?
Josh. Joshua Long?

360
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,959
Good-looking chap.

361
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,959
Maybe there was nothing going on.

362
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,960
But I can't say
I've ever entirely trusted her.

363
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,959
Look, you're putting words
in my mouth.

364
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,959
I didn't say I was ruling her out,

365
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
but that doesn't mean
that you can rule her in.

366
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,959
No, of course she isn't behind
Ryan Walker's referendum bollocks.

367
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,159
X? Come on, the only thing
that X is a guide to

368
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,959
is Elon Musk's artificially
inflated testosterone.

369
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,319
See you.

370
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,959
Can I have that for my manifesto?
We can't hold out for much longer.

371
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,959
We need to get out there
ahead of Ryan, OK?

372
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,960
I need more coffee.

373
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,959
What do you think I should do, love?

374
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,959
I always said Ryan's smarter
than he looks.

375
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,959
He's a wrecking ball.

376
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,960
And he hasn't even started
on us yet.

377
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,960
Then you need to stop him.

378
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,160
Simon, hello.

379
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,959
Is the Foreign Secretary
taking mind-altering drugs?

380
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,160
Yes, sadly, he is a full-blown
crack addict now, Simon (!)

381
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,959
Melissa? It's Kate.

382
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,959
You used to work with my husband,
Stuart, at The Guardian.

383
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,159
We met at the Christmas party.

384
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,959
Oh, you're the civil servant.

385
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,959
Home Office, or was it with MOD?
I actually work for SIS.

386
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,960
We're investigating an issue with
the Foreign Secretary's security.

387
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,639
When was that?
Yesterday.

388
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,639
We were running a routine op
in Lisbon,

389
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,959
and we noticed
he left the summit venue

390
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,959
without his protection officers.

391
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,959
I wasn't aware.
No?

392
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,159
So there's no cause for concern
over his security detail?

393
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,959
Not as far as I know, no.

394
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,959
He went to meet Lev Amatov,
is that right?

395
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,959
A reception at a private villa.

396
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,959
Oddly enough,
we can't seem to find a record

397
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,959
of the event
on the official schedule.

398
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,959
Well, Lev's a personal friend
of the Foreign Secretary,

399
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,999
that's no secret.

400
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,960
What about the fact
that Dmitri Krimsov was there, too?

401
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,160
That's a massive allegation.

402
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,959
You'll have to speak
to the Foreign Secretary about it.

403
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,959
I'm sure he'd be keen
to avoid a diplomatic scandal,

404
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,800
given the fact he's just announced
his leadership bid.

405
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,799
What do you expect me
to do about it?

406
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,000
Talk to me, Melissa.

407
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,960
Does Ryan often go AWOL?
Does he shut you out of things?

408
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,960
He might be running the country
soon.

409
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,479
Did Stuart tell you to come to me?

410
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,960
Of course not. This is between us.

411
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,160
I've gotta go.
If you want to talk more...

412
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,960
In confidence, of course.

You all right?

428
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,959
Did you tell your wife,

429
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,959
who you forgot
to mention works for SIS,

430
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,799
what we discussed
in Manchester in confidence?

431
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,959
I may have mentioned something to
her about you being unhappy, yeah.

432
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,959
What happens at conference
stays at conference.

433

Isn't that the golden rule, mate?

434
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,959
It's nothing that anyone
couldn't have guessed, is it? Eh?

435
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,479
I'm sorry, though. Really, I am.

436
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,960
So, what,
did Kate say something to you?

437
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,999
I don't want things
to turn dirty, Stuart.

438
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,959
That's not why I got into politics.

439
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,960
Then why are you working
for Ryan Walker, then?

440
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,960
Eh? How's that make sense?

441
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,959
He's got no business
being anyway near Downing Street,

442
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,479
and you know that,
and I know that you know.

Listen to me. Listen.

There is always room

00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,960
I know that to be true.

I know that Imogen
would snap you up. I know it.

447
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,960
Just think about it.

448
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Just have a think.

449
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Stop. Go back one.

450
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,959
You see that on the edge of frame?

451
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,959

ask her, she's being chaperoned,

But I think I'm gonna have
to go back.

463
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,959
You think her meet request
is a set-up?

464
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,959
I don't know,
but something feels off.

And now, we know Malta's
on the alert list as of last night.

Can you authorise a team
to extract her?

HE SIGHS

468
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,960
It's too risky, Kate.

469
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,959
Best case,
we'd get you there in two days.

470
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,959
But we need the Foreign Secretary
to sign off putting weapons

471
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,959
through the diplomatic bag.

472
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,959
I don't have two days.
I'd have to go unarmed.

474
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,479
I can't advise that as your SO.

475
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,959
Igor's security
will be armed to the teeth,

476
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,480
and there might be more on the way.

477
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,960
I'm sorry, but the answer's no.

478
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,959
We've got no idea
how it's gonna go down out there,

479
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,960
which is exactly
what Moscow always wants.

480
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,800
We're just gonna have
to hope you're wrong and...

He made the right call.
There are too many unknowns.

484
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,999
I made a promise to her and Alexei.

485
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,959
I know how much your agents matter
to you. It's why you got this job.

486
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,799
But you have to know
when an op goes beyond your control.

487
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,960
I'm not leaving her there, Rose.

488
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,159
Suppose Zak's right,
you walk into a trap.

489
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,959
I can handle it.

490
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,320
Surely, your priority has to be...
Excuse me.

491
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,959
...has to be protecting

If any of you
were compromised out there,

it would take weeks
to get a new team up to speed.

00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,959
By which time, Moscow's asset
would be in Downing Street.

It would sink her first, surely.
Not necessarily.

554
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,959

Yeah, well,
I hope you hang whoever leaked it.

678
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,959
Oh, don't worry, I'm on it.
OK.

679
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,959
News At Ten are asking for you.

680
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,319
If you come clean now,
perhaps we can salvage this.

681
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,959
Call bloody Peston.
Tell him to get here immediately.

682
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,799
Too late.
We won't make the end of the show.

683
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:21,960
Well, then tell them to extend it.

684
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:25,960
OK.

685
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,959
'Well, as we said,
we've extended the programme tonight

686
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,959
'after we were told
the Foreign Secretary

687
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,959
'wanted to give us some context

688
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,159
'for our explosive revelations
earlier.

689
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,959
'And I'm pleased to say Robert
is with him right now. Robert.'

690
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,959
Thanks, Tom. Foreign Secretary,

691
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:52,959
you had a private meeting,
at a Lisbon party of all things,

692
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,999
with the Foreign Minister
of Russia, a hostile state.

693
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,959
You were not accompanied
by any officials,

694
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,959
there are no notes of the meeting.

695
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,959
This was a clear breach
of protocol,

696
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,959
national security
has been put at risk.

697
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,959
Your colleagues say to me
that you should resign

698
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,959
and give up all ambitions
to be leader of their party.

699
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,799
I won't be resigning any time soon,
Robert.

700
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,959
Why on earth not?

701
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,959
In the business of diplomacy,
it's sometimes worth taking a risk,

702
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,479
even a personal one.

703
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,959
What on earth were you thinking of?

704
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,959
Look, it was a social gathering,
right,

705
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,959
hosted by a very well-known
British party donor,

706
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:28,959
where Dmitri Krimsov was a guest.

707
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,959
We shared...
Did you expect Krimsov to be there?

708
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,159
I did expect Krimsov to be there.

709
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,959
So why didn't you take
your officials?

710
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,999
Well, it's not
a widely publicised fact

711
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,999
that Dimitri Krimsov
lost his only son last year.

712
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,959
And it's, erm...
it's fairly well-known

713
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,480
that my wife and I, erm...

714
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:51,960
Sorry.

715
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,480
Er, we lost our only child,
also a boy...

716
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:01,960
...erm, three years ago.

717
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,959
Sorry. And I... I wanted to express
my private sympathies to him

718
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,959
in the hope that we might find
some common ground,

719
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,959
man to man, if I'm...
RYAN LAUGHS

720
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,959
...if I'm allowed
to say that these days.

721
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,959
I imagine I speak
for everybody watching.

722
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,479
Look, you know, obviously,
I feel, for you,

723
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,159
enormous compassion, given
the tragedy that you suffered.

724
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,959
Thank you. But what do you think
you actually achieved?

725
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,479
How many people do you know would
be bold enough to walk in that door

726
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:39,959
and sit down with Dimitri Krimsov?

727
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,639
How many people do you know

728
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,959
would try to better
that diplomatic relationship

729
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,959
between Europe and Russia?

730
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,319
I'd like you name someone
in the Cabinet

731
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,959
that you would have
that confidence in.

732
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,959
'Thank you, Robert. Robert Peston
there with the Foreign Secretary.'

733
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,639
PHONE BUZZES
'And that was quite some interview.

734
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,960
'This leadership race
is certainly hotting up.

735
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,639
'Let's move on to some
of the day's other news now,

736
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960
'and having promised repeatedly...'

737
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:12,960
KNOCK ON DOOR

738
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:16,960
Kate.

739
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,159
Sorry to have summoned you so late,
Mrs Henderson.

740
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,959
I've been on national television
fighting for my political life.

741
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,999
I saw. I'm sorry.

742
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,320
So you won't mind if I ask you
a few simple questions?

743
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,959
Of course.

744
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,799
Did you know about my meeting
with Dimitri Krimsov?

745
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,639
Yes.
How?

746
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:39,999
Some basic detective work.

747
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,799
RYAN CHUCKLES

748
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,959
I'm the Foreign fucking Secretary.
Your boss.

749
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,959
I don't need
any covert surveillance!

750
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,960
I understand Kate had concerns
about your personal security.

751
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,959
Did you leak my meeting
to the press?

752
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,639
No.
Are you sure about that?

753
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,959
Absolutely.

754
00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:02,959
Do you think I don't know
who your husband works for?

755
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,799
If you have a problem
with my husband,

756
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,959
I suggest you take it up with him,
Foreign Secretary,

757
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,160
or Imogen herself.

758
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,479
But you'll admit
you don't like my politics, do you?

759
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,959
I'm a civil servant.

760
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,960
Your politics
are none of my business.

761
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,960
Is there anything else
you'd like to tell us, Kate?

762
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,480
No. Unless Mr Walker would?

763
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,959
Do you think I would take
the trouble to come here

764
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:30,999
if I'd done anything underhand?

765
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,959
It's not my job to say, Sir.

766
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,959
My job is to help keep you safe.

767
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,959
If we've failed to do that
here at SIS,

768
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,960
then I'm sure I speak for everyone
when I say it is deeply regrettable.

769
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,960
Well, if you've no more questions,
Foreign Secretary...

770
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,960
Take this as an official warning.

771
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,960
Do not meddle
with the democratic process.

772
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:20,999
Hiya.

773
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,959
Hi.
Did you see it?

774
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,959
What a fucking night.
Front-row seat.

775
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,959
I mean, Meg's already asked
for his resignation.

776
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:28,959
He's cooked. He's done.

777
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,479
Well, I think it's gonna take
more than this to kill him off.

778
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,959
I mean, maybe, but, it now means

779
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,960
that Imogen is officially
in the fucking race.

780
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Can I ask you something?
Yeah.

781
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,959
Do you think Imogen's
ever been unfaithful?

782
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,800
What, to Harry?

783
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,959
I mean, no, not that I know of. Why?

784
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,800
Forget it.

785
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,159
Katie,
if you've heard something about her,

786
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,959
I could really do with knowing,
you know.

787
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,959
Especially given she's now declared.
No.

788
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,480
Forget about it. I just wanted
your opinion. All right.

789
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,959
Are you OK? You had a rough night?
SHE SIGHS

790
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,160
I've had better.

791
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,960
Anything you can talk about, or...?

792
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,960
I was accused of passing intel
about the Krimsov meeting to you.

793
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:19,960
To me?

794
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:22,959
Well, who's accused you? Zak?

795
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,799
Man of the moment. Ryan Walker.

796
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,959
I mean, honestly, do they think
we'd be that fucking stupid?

797
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:30,960
Apparently so.

798
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:36,960
Did you know, though...

799
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,959
...about Ryan meeting Krimsov?

800
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,959
I mean, is that what that trip
was about?

801
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,959
I can't talk about it.
You can't talk about it.

802
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,959
Given the fact that you're
investigating him... We're not.

803
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,000
And that's it, Stuart.
I can't talk about it. All right.

804
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:49,960
Sorry.

805
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,800
Well...

806
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,159
Bloody hell, well, we'd better win,
then, hey?

807
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,959
I'm a civil servant.
I can't comment. Yes.

808
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,959
Your neutrality is noted, as ever.

809
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,960
I'm not joking, Stuart.
I'm not joking.

810
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:11,959
SHE SIGHS

811
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,959
I'm really sorry, but I have
to go away again tomorrow.

812
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,639
I'll be gone
before you're up, though.

813
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,999
OK. What? You... Oh.

814
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,960
What, is it something serious,
or...?

815
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,960
It's a potentially hostile
environment.

816
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,960
KYRIL: 'Everything is in place.

817
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,000
'Now you are going to find out
what Henderson knows.'

818
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,960
Malta is not the best place to die.

819
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,960
Don't be stupid.

820
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,640
Confirm the meeting
in the church this morning.

821
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,320
Now.
