Walter Lutulu,

leader of the party for a Democratic Zimbabwe.

Knox is a known supporter.

Walter Lutulu with nukes.

They will need outside help

if they're gonna make a move on Zimbabwe.

We could be looking at the beginning of a coup.

Let's start with the CIA.

If the regime had killed Walter,

the opposition planned to install his daughter

as the front-runner.

There are clear guidelines about the treatment of prisoners.

Knox ordered this.

My father--Walter Lutulu!

You were with Conrad Knox.

Did you see any nuclear weapons?

You have to help him!

I'm trying to do the best I can!

This is the man responsible. He shot Lutulu.

Put the gun on the floor,

nice and slowly.

Slowly.

Ok.

Now get up, slowly.

My name's Michael Stonebridge.

I'm a British Military attaché.

And I need your help.

You've got a funny way of asking for it.

Here. Take it.

You got some ID?

Nothing you'd believe.

But right now, that's the least of our worries.

I saw him. He's in there.

Shit. That mob that's gathering outside--

This is the man responsible.

He shot Lutulu.

He's lying!

Hey, shut up.

I am a refugee.

This man has beaten and abused me.

Oi!

I demand you lock him up!

You want to go outside?

You want to go outside and take your chances?

No, no, no, no.

No? Then fucking get in that cell.

Come here. Get in the cell.

I should have let them tear your arms off and beat you to death.

Get in there.

Cheers.

What's your name?

Moses.

- Moses? - Yeah.

It's nice to meet you.

How many officers do you have here?

You're looking at it.

It's just a one-man operation.

Ok.

I need you to call for reinforcements, yeah?

If that mob gets in here,

they're gonna lynch him, and us, too.

Mr. Lutulu, who was recently broken out of

a high-security prison in Harare,

was gunned down today at a pro-democracy rally

in Bukhoma Township.

We'll have more later.

Much more.

Yup?

I haven't fully IDed the shooter,

He's pro Mugabe, fanatical.

"Cui bono"?

Yeah. Who benefits?

No. It's too easy.

They control the electoral process anyway.

Too wily to pull something this public.

This assassination is gonna bring a firestorm

Where were Matlock's bodyguards

when Lutulu made his speech?

No, there was no one there.

Scott and I would have noticed.

Knox breaks him out and then leaves him exposed. Why?

This was never about Walter Lutulu taking over Zimbabwe.

This is about Conrad Knox.

Following the assassination of Walter Lutulu,

a wave of unrest

amongst the displaced Zimbabwean community in South Africa

is spreading north to the borders of Zimbabwe itself.

Whilst denying any responsibility

for Mr. Lutulu's murder,

a spokesman for the ruling Zanu-PF Party

Reaction to the shooting

has been unanimous in its condemnation.

In Washington, the Secretary of State moved swiftly

to condemn the attack.

She stopped short of calling for military intervention

but supported calls for the ruling Zanu Party

to step down.

What did I tell you, Conrad?

You've achieved more for Zimbabwe with one bullet

than you will with those weapons.

Can I assume that Walter's killer

has met his just deserts?

Yes, sir.

And 20's man?

At my mercy.

When we've secured Lilian, you can dispose of him
