(dramatic bang)

(slow haunting music)

- Prisoner J has been detained without charge or trial

for two years.

That the government is now releasing him

without apology or justification,

only compounds the abuse of freedom suffered by our client.

Nevertheless, his release is a great victory

for human rights.

(camera shutters clicking) (crowd clamors)

- [Crowd] Liberation! Liberation! Liberation!

- Nazim Malek is one of the key terror suspects

we're still holding without charge.

When arrested in 2003, his name was linked

with a planned bomb attack on Heathrow.

- As I recall, he was a contacts man.

He didn't get near the action, it all went through him.

- It still does.

- What do you mean?

- Yesterday, French intelligence intercepted an email

from a terrorist cell in Algiers.

The email indicates Malek is coordinating

another attack on London.

- How the hell can Malek be operating from inside prison?

- We have no idea, but it looks like he might be reviving

the 2003 operation.

I think we can expect an attack within the next few days.

- (sighs) What do you want me to do?

- I want you to release him.

(crowd clamors rowdily)

(slow somber music)

(hand bangs)

(soft ambient music)

- Sorry about the circus. Are you okay?

(soft somber music)

(mysterious daunting music)

(dramatic boom)

- Malek's been freed.

- Surveillance is in place.

- Good.

- We've recommended tightening security at Heathrow

and on all other transport systems.

- You found a way in?

- Malek's lawyers at Liberation are trying to make

political capital out of his release.

They're looking for a PR expert to help them,

that's how I'll get to him.

- Now we just need him to lead us to the cell.

(soft mysterious music)

(doorbell buzzes)

(door buzzes open)

(door clicks shut)

- Rebecca Sinclair.

- Sarah Morris, "Temple Jones."

- Did you get the file on our client?

- Two years solitary without trial.

So proud to be British. What's the brief?

- Last year, eight law lords declared the holding

of foreign nationals without charge illegal.

The government should have released them all immediately.

Keeping Malek in prison contravened international law

and the Bill of Human Rights.

They got away with it 'cause no one else could fight them.

With the release of Malek, we can.

- You want to sue the British government?

- This is our one chance to change the direction

this country's heading in, and damn right I wanna sue them.

- I assume you want maximum media impact?

I can get Malek interviewed by sympathetic reporters,

set up a--

- I can't get Nazim involved.

- What do you mean?

- He will support us in this case

but only if I keep his identity a secret.

No interviews, no appearances.

- And you're happy with that?

- It's his right.

- Okay. We need to move fast while the story's still alive.

Um, I'll set up an event, exploit the media interest.

You'll need to deliver a speech.

I'll write a draft and show it to you.

Malek should see it too.

- You want to see him.

- It's always helpful to meet the man you're fighting for.

(door whirs and clicks)

(deep suspenseful music)

- They put him in the Copeland Hotel, Bayswater.

We drilled through from the room next door

and put cameras all over the hotel.

The Liberation offices are a tougher call.

They sweep them every two weeks.

You'd think they were living in a police state.

- We'll need full surveillance inside Liberation.

He can make contact from in there.

- Well, they've got a sweep scheduled for this morning,

I thought we'd go in after that.

- What have you got on Malek?

- When special warrants arrested him in 2003,

they raided his flat in Acton.

All they found was some maps with British cities circled.

No computers, no contact lists, no phones,

nothing they could put on him.

If the attack happens, Malek won't be anywhere near it,

but it won't happen without his say so.

- Your new superhero, Mr. Pearce. I'll leave her with you.

- See you made a friend already.

- Harry Pearce. Let me introduce you to--

- Jo Portman.

- Jo Port-- - I'm glad Adam managed

to rescue you from the jaws of journalism.

How was the training?

- It was amazing.

- Sorry, um, Paul Seymour's lurking.

- Yuck.

Adam, Fiona gets close to Malek, you'll let me know?

- Yeah.

- I thought your name was Nick Harding?

- Nick Harding, Johnny Baxter, you'll get used to it.

- So, how's Prisoner J treating you?

- I presume Juliet fully briefed you

about her decision to release him.

- Of course.

And, if you need any help from Special Branch, just ask.

(folder thuds shut)

- Come now, Paul, you didn't take a taxi

all the way over here just to tell me that.

- Look, no one'll be happier than I will

to see Malek go down.

I was in charge of his arrest.

One of the proudest moments of my career.

- Yes, you've got a rather nice promotion out of it

as I recall.

- But you're playing a dangerous game, Harry.

You lose Malek and we'll all go down with you.

- It's a risk I'm prepared to take.

- As far as I'm concerned, the safest place for Nazim Malek

is behind bars.

- Hmm, unless of course you happen to be

in the airport lounge when the bomb goes off.

(eerie swoosh)

(soft eerie music)

(door squeaks open)

- I'd like you to meet Sarah Morris.

She's helping me with the campaign.

- We said no meeting anyone.

- Nazim, um, I understand your situation

and I guarantee that we'll never use your name

or do anything that would threaten your security,

but this case is a major opportunity

to ensure that no innocent man ever suffers

the way you've suffered.

- I have nothing to say.

- Please--

- Get her out of here.

- Sorry.

(deep tense music)

(door clicks open)

(slow haunting music)

- That could be anything, notes for her legal case,

a list of potential supporters.

- If it's something above board,

why did she wait for Fiona to leave

before she gave it to him?

(Ruth speaks French)

- Either he spun her a story justifying

why she has to keep her mouth shut and she sorted it,

or else she knows exactly what he's doing

and is actively helping him.

- Uh, I've um, just spoken to DGSE in Paris.

They've picked up increased mobile activity

around Gare du Nord, and at the Eurostar terminals in Lille.

- Is the tunnel how they're getting in?

Or is it the target?

- Either way we should close it.

- No. We don't want Malek to know what we're up to.

Issue a high-level security alert on all tunnel traffic.

- Ruth, I want hourly briefings with Paris.

I'll talk to Juliet.

- Yes. Um, I'm gonna be busy dealing with Paris.

Do you think you could write Fiona's Liberation speech

for me?

- Yeah, of course.

- [Juliet] Is Rebecca Sinclair threatening

to sue the government?

- That seems to be her intention.

- Mm-hmm.

You released a man who plans to bomb our transport system--

- The decision to release Malek was taken by both of us.

- On your recommendation.

Now, either get something tangible out of Malek

or I'm throwing him back in prison

where the world might just forget about him.

- Is it ready?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Jo, have you got plans tonight?

- Yeah, I was just gonna go out, um,

it's nothing I can't cancel though.

- Good. Let's go.

- This is great.

It almost makes me believe in civil liberties.

- Thanks.

- The release of Prisoner J is a victory for civil rights

the world over.

(camera flash clicks)

And a wake up call for the rest of us.

It reminds us that whatever the conditions of our world

after 9-11, the rights of every human being are sacred.

(audience applauds) We have the right

to walk down our streets and talk to our friends and family

without being spied on and listened to by the state.

(controller beeps)

- Confirming alarm is now disabled.

- [Man] Estimated time for reactivation?

- 20 minutes.

- Tidy but fast then, please. - We have a right

to be treated the same, whatever our name, creed, or skin.

(daunting music)

We have a right to be considered innocent until such time

that we are proven otherwise.

(computer keys click)

- He still hasn't slept.

- These rights-- - The guilty don't.

- These gifts that make us human,

are today threatened by the very state

that claims to defend us.

(computer keys clicking)

(daunting music)

There is an enemy within our own walls.

- Colin? Colin?

- Positive.

- [Rebecca] As dangerous, as unknowable,

and as ruthless as the enemy that haunts us from outside.

- Test on feed three, please.

- Positive. - People in the free world

must stand up against both enemies, defeat them,

and lay claim to a lasting, living victory for liberty.

(audience applauds)

(tense suspenseful music)

- Rebecca Sinclair isn't telling me the truth.

I can get her to talk, I just need more time.

- We've already had 24 hours. Malek hasn't left his room.

- Any news on the target?

- Uh, nothing new. The French side's gone quiet.

- We took a gamble. It hasn't paid off.

I'm gonna shut down the operation.

- No, Harry. Malek hasn't slept since he got out.

He's continually alert. I'm sure he's gonna move soon.

- I can't go to the cabinet office with intuition.

- If we rearrest him without new evidence,

it'll cause a huge scandal.

The damage will be substantial.

- I'm not risking lives to protect my job.

If he doesn't make a move in the next three hours,

I'm recommending the closure of the channel tunnel

and rearresting Malek.

(soft tense music)

- How do you stand this waiting?

- Until he makes a move, that's all we can do.

Get used to it.

How are you settling in?

- Okay.

Except my flatmate hates me

'cause I told her I wanna move out.

She and I have this tradition of getting drunk

and telling each other our secrets,

which is fine when it comes to boyfriends--

- But not so hot when it's national security.

I had the same problem too with my mother when I started.

- Don't you still see your mom?

- (laughs) Sure, but she thinks I'm a civil servant

in local town planning, which limits conversation somewhat.

It's the price you have to pay.

Actually, you don't get used to it.

I'm going down there.

Um, look, I do have a room at my place if you need it,

which I'm sure you won't, but if you do, it's there.

- Thank you. I will think about it.

- Purely to save me the rent.

(dramatic swoosh)

(mysterious music)

- He's moving.

(deep suspenseful music)

- This is Alpha One. Suspect is alone, traveling east.

I have eyeball.

(deep mysterious music)

- Alpha Two? - Copy.

(soft dramatic music)

- Harry, looks like Malek's making contact.

(deep mysterious music)

(motorcycles rumble)

(deep mysterious music)

- Subject's in the subway.

- Let's see the subway.

(mysterious music)

(dramatic swoosh)

- Where is he? - Lost him.

- Take that one.

(mysterious music)

- Alpha One.

(mysterious music)

Zaf?

(mysterious music)

We need to know your status, Zaf.

- We've lost him.

(tense suspenseful music)

- [Ruth] He must have gone into the square.

(tense suspenseful music)

(sirens blare)

(pigeons flutter)

- Got him. Transaction taking place.

(pigeons flutter) (soft somber music)

(car horns honk)

(soft somber music)

- Alpha Two, stay with Malek.

(soft tense music)

Alpha One, follow the ruck sack.

(tense mysterious music)

- Face matching.

(suspenseful music)

His name's Rachid Medi. He's a member of Free Islam.

Rachid has a brother, Carlov Medi,

who was in prison with Malek.

- Carlov Medi was Malek's contact inside?

- Looks like it.

- Is the place empty?

- Rachid left with another man about 40 minutes ago.

(metal door clatters)

(tense music)

- Passports.

(deep tense music)

What's that?

- It's the envelope Rebecca gave him.

(tense haunting music)

He's had more than one made.

- The photo edges you found in the bin

are from standard processing paper used in photo booths

across the country.

Three came from the same machine, the other from another.

- But they're all from British machines?

- That's my belief, yes.

- Which means the operative's already in the country,

so why does he need the passports?

- To get them out again afterwards.

I think an attack is imminent.

- We need to get to Rebecca Sinclair

and find out who is on those photographs.

- Where is she?

- Uh, in her office,

and it looks as though Malek's on his way to meet her.

- Any news from Rachid?

- No, he's at his house and not moving.

(computer beeps)

Yes?

- [Man] Subject is entering Liberation.

- Could you patch the signal through, please?

(computer beeps)

- [Malek] Are you sure it is safe here?

- Stop panicking, the place was swept yesterday morning.

- Did you see them?

- [Rebecca] I've just come from there. They're fine.

- Thank you.

Rebecca, I have been thinking things through.

I need you to stop the legal case.

- What?

- I will be back in a few days to pick them up.

I do not want you involved.

- Well, I am involved. Where are you going?

- I will come back to you.

- Nazim.

- He used Rebecca to set up the operation.

I wanna know where she went this morning,

we need to move fast.

- What about bringing Rebecca in?

- That would send the whole operation underground.

We'd have no more on Malek

than we had before he was released.

- Harry, you can take the channel tunnel off high security.

- What?

- French intelligence have just stormed

a suspected terrorist cell in the Gare du Nord in Paris.

They've shot dead two Algerians.

One of the men is of particular interest to us.

His name is Nazim Malek.

(dramatic swoosh)

(camera shutters clicking)

- Ruth has gone through incoming visas from Algeria

in the last five years.

This man, Nazim Malek,

came to study computer science at West London Poly in 2001.

- Where was he living?

- [Paul] North Acton.

- Where was our Malek arrested?

- At his home, in North Acton.

- Are you saying--

- Special Branch arrested the wrong Malek.

- Hold on a second.

Now Paul, I've asked you to be present so you can hear this.

Listen.

- Special Branch bumped into the same name by chance

and jumped too soon.

That's why our Malek had no computers,

no contact names, nothing.

He wasn't planning anything.

- The other Malek heard about the arrest

and got out as soon as he could,

thinking we'd realize the mistake and come after him,

which we never did.

- Well, if this is true, our Malek--

- Has spent two years in prison as an innocent man.

(tense mysterious music)

- He's meeting Rachid.

(tense mysterious music)

- If he's innocent, what's he doing

delivering passport photos to Islamic extremists?

- Well, that's why we need to bring him in

and tell him what we know.

- No, no, no, I don't think so, Harry.

Assume you're right.

Assume we've kept an innocent man in detention

for two years.

He's not acting like an innocent man now.

He's acting like a man who wants revenge.

(mysterious music)

- Please, give me the passport.

- In the glove compartment.

(deep mysterious music)

- There are only three.

Where is the other one?

- I'll give you that one when you finish the job.

- That is not what we agreed.

- It's what we agree now.

- Come on, Harry.

I'm big enough to admit that we've made a mistake,

but look who Malek's been in contact with

since he was released.

Rachid Medi is on the lunatic fringe of the lunatic fringe.

- You're more interested in covering Special Branch's ass

than saving an innocent man.

- And maybe you just can't admit that releasing this guy

was a seriously dumb idea.

(tense music)

- I cannot do it.

- [Rachid] They locked you up for two years, Nazim,

treated you worse than an animal,

and now you're just gonna run away.

- I just want the passports.

(suspenseful music)

- Once you do this, you'll be completely free.

Isn't that what you want?

I'll call you with further instructions.

- Malek has spent two years in solitary

for something he did not do.

- I understand your concern, Harry, but you bring Malek in

and we admit we know he was innocent,

and you're giving Liberation license

to blow our whole anti-terror operation outta the water.

We should continue with the operation.

Follow Malek, see where he takes you.

(soft tense music)

- If that man had gone to trial,

the case would've been thrown out in seconds.

What happened in there was pure bloody politics.

- I think she's right.

- What?

- Whatever happened in the past,

our job is to deal with the present danger.

Present danger right now is Malek.

We're spooks, Harry, not philosophers.

(soft tense music)

(car door bangs shut)

(soft haunting music)

- Nazim.

Nazim!

(tense haunting music)

(Nazim gasps)

(Nazim cries)

(soft haunting music)

(train swooshes)

(metallic bang)

- I work for MI5. Do you know what MI5 is?

French police killed another Nazim Malek in Paris.

We know you're innocent.

- I do not believe you.

- I need to ask you some questions.

When you were arrested, you had no papers,

no passport, nothing.

How did you get in?

- In a truck in France.

- Why leave Algeria?

- I was in the army.

My division was sent to the south,

to a village near Luwat.

We were told to dress ourselves as mujahideen

and to kill the village.

- They wanted the villagers dead

but they wanted to blame the fundamentalists.

- Me and my friend refused it.

They were going to shoot us. I escaped.

- And you came here.

- Why didn't you tell the men who arrested you this?

- I did.

(train swooshes)

- Rachid Medi is a known radical extremist.

Why are you meeting him?

- In prison, I was alone almost all of the time.

Carlov Medi started to talk to me during exercise sessions.

He said he could help me if I helped him.

- And what did he want you to do?

- He knew I could use long distance rifle.

He said it would be someone from Algerian government.

People that kill innocent Muslims,

and put innocent Muslim in prison.

People like you.

- We don't kill innocent Muslims.

- I am innocent. You put me in prison for two years.

- We made a mistake.

- Ah, I don't believe it. I told you who I am.

- Maybe we weren't listening properly.

We're listening now, Nazim.

- I do not want trouble.

I just want a normal life.

- I think what you want is the reward Rachid is offering.

(train hisses)

He gave you passports, didn't he? Show me the passports.

- No. You will take them away.

You cannot take them.

- You didn't come here alone, did you?

You came here with people you loved, with your family.

(train rumbles)

You hid in a truck together,

and when you arrived you tried to rebuild your lives.

Then you were arrested,

and you knew if we found out about your family

they'd be deported back to Algeria,

and given your desertion they'd be killed.

(soft tense music)

Show me the passports.

(tense ambient music)

- (sighs) He would not give me my son's passport,

until after I handle the job.

- What job? What does Rachid want you to do?

- I do not know. He did not say it.

(train squeals and rumbles)

He kept my son's passport.

- I can help you.

I can get you and your family somewhere safe,

somewhere where they'll never be found.

Call Rebecca. Tell her to expect us.

(dramatic bang)

- Well, I suggest-- - Stop it. Stop it.

- It's not meant to be. (laughs)

- [Daughter] You're ruining the game.

(Rebecca laughs) Stop.

- Hello?

- It is Nazim.

I'm coming to collect Samira and the children.

- [Rebecca] What do you mean?

- I'll explain when I get there.

(deep suspenseful music)

- Is everything all right, Nazim?

(doorbell rings)

Ah, someone's here.

- Someone is at the door.

- Did you send someone, Nazim?

(door clatters)

- Hey, wait a minute. - Rebecca!

- [Rebecca] Stop. Samira!

- What is happening?

- [Rebecca] Samira, Samira, run.

- What is happening?

- I need full backup, 7 Pettington.

- Rebecca, talk to me!

(bat cracks) (Rebecca cries out)

Samira! Oh god!

Helena!

(tense somber music) (dramatic swooshing)

Samira!

Hunter!

(tense somber music)

- She's dead.

- The police are still trying to understand

why such a popular human rights campaigner

should have been killed in an East London flat.

After the murder, they have released--

- The what the hell is going on, Harry?

I'm seeing dead women on my television.

- [Reporter] Previously known

as Prisoner J - Shall we talk in my office?

- Where's Malek?

- He disappeared while we were with Rebecca.

- I remember being told that wouldn't happen.

- My office.

We think they kidnapped Malek's family to force Malek

to complete the operation.

What they didn't know was that Rebecca Sinclair

was in there.

- Harry.

- I wasn't aware of having given Mr. Seymour

the keys to Thames House.

- [Ruth] I asked Paul to come.

- In that case, please, take a seat.

- Thank you, Ruth.

- Why has Malek gone AWOL?

- We believe he will try to complete the operation

as the only way to get his family back.

- What do you know about the operation?

- It's an assassination. Malek's a top-grade marksman.

- Target?

- Unknown.

(Ruth laughs sarcastically)

Something else came up.

Malek claims after he was arrested, he told his interviewers

that he had deserted from the army,

yet I can find no evidence of this

on any of the Special Branch records.

- He's lying.

- Why would he not mention it?

- Why would we not report it?

- Maybe it wasn't what you wanted to hear.

- Are you accusing me of suppressing the evidence?

- Well, anything's possible when the pressure for results

is high enough.

- That is enough.

Find Malek.

If he's a threat to public security, then take him down.

Because if he kills anyone,

you will both be held accountable.

- We've got 24-hour surveillance on Rachid's place

in Hackney, but he's doing nothing.

I don't think he's running the op.

- Then who is?

- We haven't found him yet.

- What about Rachid's brother in prison?

You could try and cut him a deal?

- You mean offer to release him?

- After what happened with Malek, politically impossible.

- A pay-as-you-go mobile called Miss Sinclair yesterday

at 1700 hours.

I'm trying to locate the handset now.

- Good. Possible targets?

- Assuming what Malek told you is true,

it'll be in Algerian trying to make business contacts

with the West.

Now I've asked for information from the Algerian government

about anyone visiting here,

but they've not exactly been forthcoming,

and they've refused to warn their own people.

Bad for business, apparently.

- Not as bad as a bullet in the back of the head.

- Will Malek really go through with it?

- After what he's been through?

He's been locked up for two years away from his family.

He's in trauma. He's not thinking rationally.

You should've seen his face

when he heard his children scream.

I think he's capable of anything.

- I found the handset, Southern Park. He's on the phone.

(map beeps and whirs)

- [Badrak] Walk out of the exit.

Then, right. You should be--

- Voice matching. - Instructions.

If you don't this, you won't see your family again.

(computer beep)

(static buzzes)

(tense suspenseful music)

- [Ruth] What was that?

- He's mobile, so we can't track.

- We have the registration number.

- Gather a list of possible targets in and around the area.

I'm going down there.

- I'm coming with you.

(traffic hums)

(soft haunting music)

- We've done voice recognition on the phone call.

Tallies with the leading member of the Free Islam movement.

Operates under the name Badrak Madjid,

wanted in Algeria for six counts of murder

against corporate and government targets.

His mission is to stop Algerian expansion into the West.

- Sounds like we found our man.

Ruth, close the door.

- Harry?

- There's a file somewhere in Special Branch records

which will tell us what Malek said to the officers

who arrested him.

Now, Paul Seymour doesn't want me to see it.

- I'll see what I can do.

(door scrapes)

- When can I see my family?

(soft tense music)

(tense music swells)

- My name is Badrak Madjid.

I'm sorry we have to conduct business in this way,

but we gave you every chance.

- Where are my family?

(soft tense music)

- When the operation is complete,

they will be returned to you.

You'll be given your passports and a car.

If you fail or refuse, your family will be killed.

Is that clear?

- Let me see them. I want to see them.

- Abbud.

- If you hurt my family, I swear I will kill you.

- (laughs) Abbud!

(soft haunting choral music)

- Hunter.

Hunter. Oh, my son. (cries)

(tense somber music)

- Why does he not hug you?

- (crying) He's not seen me for two years.

(sniffles) Maybe he has forgotten who I am.

(soft somber music)

I will do whatever you say.

- [Woman] Greenwich police have traced the car

to the Kidbrooke Estate.

- Tell 'em well done and go home.

I don't want a uniform in sight. Kidbrooke Estate.

(car engine accelerates)

(bag clatters)

- Call once you're in position.

If you fail to go through with this,

you know what'll happen.

(tense somber music)

- There he is.

(tense somber music)

Drop me here.

You follow Malek,

but don't touch him until I get the family out.

Take the gun.

I said take it.

(soft tense music)

(haunting choral music)

(soft haunting music)

(workers murmur)

(knocks at door)

(file thuds)

- [Harry] Do you also turn water into wine?

- Ah, not really.

Harry, this just came in from the foreign office.

- "President of Algerian Bank, Abdelhak Rachmani

arriving City airport, attending meeting

with Western investors at Northern Global Head Office

at 1300 hours.

Please offer standard protection."

Why do we only know this now?

- It's the Algerian way.

(soft somber music)

I can get in contact with Northern Global,

make Rachmani go back to the airport,

get him on a plane out of here.

- If we do that, they'll kill Malek's family.

- [Ruth] We can put in a substitute.

- There isn't time.

- Are you suggesting we use the president

of the Algerian Bank as bait?

- Yes.

- Right.

(tense mysterious music)

- Malek's on the move.

He just left a flat in the Kidbrooke Estate.

We have to assume that's where the family are being held.

Zaf's following him.

Get Fiona over here and alert Special Forces.

We need to get the family out of there.

- We know the target, president of the Algerian Bank,

Northern Global Offices.

The meeting's at 1300.

You need to secure the building by 1255 at the latest.

- That's 40 minutes.

- Your math is impeccable.

(phone beeps)

(tense mysterious music)

- Where are they being held?

- Fifth door along.

- What are you planning?

- Special Forces has suggested smashing through the windows

and breaking down the door.

- (sighs) No. Guaranteed way to kill the whole family.

They've put the hostages by the windows.

- We have to get in without shooting,

otherwise, we'll never take 'em alive.

So we'll need your delicate approach.

- What approach is that?

- Knock on the front door.

(soft tense music)

(dramatic swoosh)

- Where are you?

- Just going into the art college on Army Glen Road.

- [Adam] Target's the president of the Algerian Bank.

He'll be at the Northern Global building at 1300.

- There's a clear eye line from here

to the Northern Global building.

- Zaf, listen to me.

If we can't get his family out in time,

you'll have to take him down.

- Get his family out in time, Adam, I'm not shooting him.

- [Adam] You must shoot him if he's about to commit

an act of terror.

- He's innocent.

- He isn't if he pulls the trigger.

(deep somber music)

(tense suspenseful music)

(soft haunting music)

(dramatic swoosh)

(tense suspenseful music)

- Mr. Clements?

(knocking at door)

I know you're in there, Mr. Clements.

I'm representing the landlords of the property.

I'm chasing arrears.

(doors bang)

(tense suspenseful music)

- Ah, Mr. Rachmani, welcome to Northern Global.

(tense suspenseful music)

(knocking at door)

- Mr. Clements, if you don't come to the door,

my colleague and I will have to make a forced entry.

- Get rid of her.

- [Fiona] We have the necessary paperwork.

(tense suspenseful music)

(gun clicks)

(tense suspenseful music)

(gun clicking) (tense suspenseful music)

- What is it?

- Gemma Beckett, close adjusters and reclaim division.

Mr. Clements around?

- Sorry, he doesn't live here anymore.

- According to our records--

- He doesn't live here.

- We'll need confirmation of that.

If I could just have a look, it won't take a minute.

(dramatic music)

- Today's meeting is aimed at promoting a new era

of collaboration.

(gun clicking)

(tense suspenseful music)

(gunshots blast)

(soft somber music)

- Sorry.

(dramatic swoosh)

(tense suspenseful music)

(door squeaks)

(tense suspenseful music)

(soft somber music)

Harry, it's Zaf. I need news fast.

(dramatic swoosh)

- Adam, Fiona, I need information.

- Get away or I'll shoot the boy.

(door squeaks)

- [Samira] Don't, don't!

- Move outside.

- No, no, no.

(soft ambient music)

- Harry, we can't take this any further.

We'll be accomplices to murder.

- Zafar, this is Harry. We have no news from the estate.

I'm ordering you to shoot the subject. Shoot him.

(dramatic swoosh)

- Don't shoot.

Your children are safe.

- I do not believe you.

- I'm telling you the truth.

- How do I know that? Everyone is lying.

I was told this was a country that received people and help.

I was told my family would be safe here.

You have treated us like animals.

- Not us.

- Yes, you.

All of you.

- We can arrange passports for you and your family,

anywhere in the world.

New name, new identities.

An income from the British government.

You will have the life you've been seeking with your family.

I promise.

Just drop the rifle.

- Prove to me my family are safe.

- How can I do that?

- I want to hear them.

- Nazim, listen to me. I'm being ordered to shoot you.

I didn't join this service to shoot innocent people.

- Then prove you have my children.

(slow haunting music)

- No bullets below four feet, there's a kid in there.

Go.

(rapid gunfire blasts)

(slow ethereal music)

(metallic banging)

(glass shatters)

(haunting choral music)

- Why won't you believe me?

- You know why.

You have three seconds.

Three.

- Shoot him.

(haunting choral music)

- Father.

Father.

(haunting choral music)

Father, on?

Father?

(haunting choral music)

(doors bang)

- This is a Special Branch file on Malek.

It seems to have got separated from his other records.

It details in full, Malek's first interview on his arrest.

In it, he tells the story of the massacre in the village

and his subsequent desertion from the army.

It is my belief that had this information come to light,

he would never have spent two years in jail without trial.

- How did you get hold of that?

- It's my job.

It amazes me what some people will do for promotion.

- Thank you, Harry.

I think Mr. Seymour and I need some time alone

to discuss his future.

- I wasn't aware he had one.

(slow melancholic choral music)

- Police confirmed today that the man shot dead

by special operatives in a South London housing estate

on Friday was almost certainly responsible

for the murder of the human rights activist,

Rebecca Sinclair.

Police ruled out any involvement of the prisoner

Nazim Malek, who they say had nothing to do with the case,

and is thought already to have returned to Algeria.

A police statement denied allegations

from pressure group Liberation

that the British people were not being told

the whole truth about the affair.

- [TV Announcer] Sky News with Jeremy Thompson.

- Where are they?

- In the hotel.

Zaf's seeing them off tomorrow.

The Irish government have agreed to grant them citizenship.

They'll give them new names, new life,

and enough money to ensure Nazim never has to work again.

- The mother's face when he had her son in the kitchen,

I've never seen anything like it.

- You did well.

(gentle music)

You're flat hunting?

- Zaf offered me a room, but I'm not sure.

- Take it.

There'll be plenty of times in the first year

you won't wanna be alone.

See ya.

(gentle haunting choral music)

(dramatic bang)

(static crackles)
