1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:08,320 This programme contains some scenes of a violent nature. 2 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,160 In the Service, dependence can be a risk. 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,480 Have you any idea... how horrible these things sound? 4 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,080 Tessa's running phantom agents. 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,160 I think I'll kill him. 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,000 You've laid this on me - now I'M involved. 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,120 You're despicable.

You think someone's gonna come for you? 10 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,800 Any of them can come for any of us. Security's in the mind, isn't it? 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,600 You wanted Fort Knox - you got it. What have you done to my front door? 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,240 Ah, well, now, you see... Reinforced steel. 13 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,320 Works with a swipe card. State-of-the-art, will not find this in Banham any time soon. 14 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:07,160 No key code, it's in the strip. We'll keep a spare set in case you lock yourself out. This is the business. 15 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,120 Universal swipe. Central locking, all doors and windows. Security glass. 16 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,960 Think BMW in Jo'burg.

Ah. 20 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,320 Sorry, mate. 21 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,560 Watch this. 22 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,680 BEEPING Would I give you anything but the best? 23 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,880 Hold your nose back.

Look, take this. 26 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,680 New front door key. 27 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,720 At the Hilton now, are you(?) I know how you feel about living with me and being safe. I've changed things. 28 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,640 Come back, please. 29 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,200 You can't stay here. 30 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,840 Go and have a look... 31 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,600 please. 32 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:40,920 How does it...work?

But...I have a very importan project on right now... 36 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,120 Mm-hm? So... What is it? Are you gonna do some spying? 37 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,400 Be careful! I will. 38 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,680 HEAVY BREATHING 39 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,960 Right... 40 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Go ahead. Hello, this is Jodie from the Sovereign Guest House in Ealing. 41 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,960 I need an urgent credit-card check on a Mr Patrick McCann. 42 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,760 One moment. 43 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,280 Encrypting Red channel. This is really quite urgent. 44 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:16,080 McCann, Patrick. Section commander in splinter Republican group, active Service Unit leader for many years, 45 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,720 responsible for the murder of 20 RUC policemen 46 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,160 and two Security Service operatives in the late '70s. Why? 47 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,640 DOORBELL RINGS Uh...he's ringing the doorbell. 48 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,080 You went over Tom's head on this?! Tom wasn't here. 49 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,000 Tom handles McCann. You know that. I had to act at once. 50 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:12,920 You let a known terrorist into a safe house. He said Azabia, Harry. Azabia. This isn't about Ireland. 51 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:19,720 The consequences could be horrendous. Who knows how many safe houses will have to be closed down, 52 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:25,600 housekeepers retired? This could push the budget over the abyss! You've called the cavalry? 53 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:32,200 Anti Terrorist Unit and Special Branch will be six minutes. Are they getting a tram(?) That's fast! 54 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,680 He'll be gone before then, and all we'll be left with is the smell of sulphur. ..Is this live? Yes, sir. 55 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,600 'Did you want a cup of tea? I want to exchange information and I want a favour in return.' 56 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,480 What's that? 57 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:50,440 A grenade. 58 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,800 I want a meeting with an officer who knows enough about Azabia to know THIS isn't a bunch of paddywhack. 59 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:01,360 If you want special terms, I'll have to talk to the landlord. You will. 60 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,160 Tell him I know what Azabia's been planning in the Sudan. 'I don't think he'd believe you.' 61 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:13,440 'Well, he'd better. Cos what they're planning affects him and his employer in a very big way!' 62 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,480 This is a SIM card. Stick it in a mobile phone. 63 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,560 Call the number in the address book between 11.51 and midnight tonight. Nine minutes only. 64 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,800 You said you wanted a favour in return. Brave woman. 65 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,600 'Do you want to say what it is? That's for the landlord. 66 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,480 'Let me out of here. Now!' 67 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,520 How the hell did he know about the safe house? Never underestimate Patrick McCann. 68 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,560 This is information from a highly suspect source. 69 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,480 Not all of you were need-to-know about Azabia, for good reason. Tom. 70 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,600 Azabia is an ultra-extremist cell hiding out in the Sudan, a fragment from the Al Qaeda fallout. 71 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:06,120 The group has been yellow-tagged, so MPs, Foreign Office, most of Downing Street and the Press do not know, 72 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,240 repeat, do not know of the group's existence. No knowledge, no leaks. 73 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:16,680 Azabia are Bin Laden's most loyal followers, believed to be behind both US Embassy bombings in 2000. 74 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,360 So far, they have been impenetrable. They work in couples, family units. 75 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,600 How do you come between brothers that write nothing down? A CIA proxy agent got near, but was blown. 76 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,680 What was left of his genitals was posted to the American Embassy in Paris. Ouch! As far as we know, 77 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:40,200 Azabia has shown no interest in any action in the UK yet. Mostly India, Indonesia. The clock is against us. 78 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,520 I think this offer's real. McCann wants to trade. Trade what? 79 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Got to be big to do a walk-in. Even with a grenade. If Azabia are going to attack the UK, we must act 80 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:58,400 He went to a safe house. Must mean he has something. And the fact he knows Azabia exists! What do we do? 81 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,440 We do what he's asked us to do. We try and deal with him. 82 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,200 Come on, come on, group dynamics! It's too dangerous. Oh, is it?! Why? 83 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,840 He's way ahead, calling the shots. It's our job to catch up. I agree with Tessa. I agree with Zoe. 84 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,880 So we do nothing? We do something. We set up the meeting with McCann and kill him. This isn't Guatemala! 85 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,840 Let me rephrase for faint hearts. We bring about a curtailment of his continuing existence through proxy. 86 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:35,600 Are you saying we hand McCann over to the provisional IRA?! You know what they do with people who leave them. 87 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,440 Let his ex-comrades beat the shit out of him and get the truth on Azabia. 88 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,200 We liaise with the Provos whilst they torture a suspect?! 89 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,600 - A Belfast officer is liaising now. - This is grotesque! 90 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:54,240 Grotesque is taking McCann at his word! You're out of your depth. He wanted an officer who knows Azabia. 91 00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:01,520 It'll be on the critical list. This is not THE truth, it's THEIR truth. We have no way of verifying it. 92 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:07,600 So I need to meet him. Not you. I know enough about Azabia to confirm his intentions. No-one else can. 93 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:14,480 I want a collective decision. We must agree. I say burn him. McCann's an old dog. You won't get near him. 94 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:22,080 I'm an old dog, too. ..Danny? Meet him, see what info he's offering. Even if the info is contaminated? 95 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,600 Tessa? Danny's right. We can't afford not to. Zoe? Meet. 96 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,600 So be it. 97 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,080 Tom, if you get to McCann, 98 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560 no deals. Nothing. 99 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,080 This is strictly information-gathering. 100 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,720 I just hope you know what kind of a bastard we're dealing with. 101 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,760 DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES 102 00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:58,240 MCCANN: 'Go north on the A11, in a white Ford Mondeo, till the meter reads 68.5. 103 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,400 'There's a works unit road, cross the field and I'll meet you there. Dress for the country, Davy Crockett.' 104 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:10,600 Tessa gave you money. I didn't know what for. To shut you up! What do you think it was for?! I don't know. 105 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:18,240 I can't get my head round it. Maybe it's part of something bigger, an op. A big op. Or she's testing me. 106 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:24,760 It's a scam! A senior officer, sitting in this room, running false agents and trousering the cash. 107 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:32,560 You have to pass it through Harry. I know. So do it. Now! Well, I can't! I've left it too long. Here we go. 108 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:39,680 Meet is rural, tomorrow afternoon. Isolated. Complicated. Lots of open ground, so no ambushes, no backup. 109 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:46,200 Send a messenger. Wire them. You can hang back, listening. Prompt him when the subject moves to Azabia. 110 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,280 He'll check for wires. Can you sort out the transport? A white Mondeo. 111 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,080 THEY SPEAK IN IRISH 112 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,560 Keep it English. No use drawing more attention to ourselves. 113 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:30,000 Anyone seeing this would think we're in some fecky farmer's porn video. YOU picked the spot. Let's walk. 114 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,280 Let's not. 115 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:40,760 I guess this wasn't easy for you, Mr Crockett. Had to pull a few strings? I know I certainly did. 116 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:48,440 Something like that. The secrecy's for MY benefit, too. There's people' fry my balls if they knew about this 117 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,440 Suddenly grown a conscience?! I'll let you know what it feels like when I've worn it in. Rich. 118 00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:01,360 It's the same for us, you know. I don't like breathing the same air as YOU, either. D'you follow? 119 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,560 Azabia. 120 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:12,280 We've had a minor corporate cash-flow problem, thanks to certain recent events. So we've been freelancing. 121 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:19,920 Bit of management consultancy. Few hard lads down in Columbia, the odd mercenary in Somalia. 122 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,720 And then we get a call from a couple of hard-nuts in the Sudan. 123 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:30,920 Needed a how-to on some anti-tank weaponry they'd acquired. State-of-the-art, the dog's bollocks. 124 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:37,440 So we sent a couple of our lads over, but we weren't taking any chances. So we had them checked out. 125 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:43,640 Those boys would kill you as quick as look at you. ..Nothing new to speak of. Till last week. 126 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:45,720 Another check. 127 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:53,000 And suddenly, there's this very detailed aerial schematic of a large-scale Brit facility. 128 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,000 A power station. 129 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,000 A nuclear power station. 130 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,040 Sefton B. 131 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:07,560 They do what I think they're gonna do, and most of Ireland's uninhabitable for the next 200 years. 132 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:13,640 Not to mention everything north of Bristol. Not that we'd miss Wales. ..Oh, don't look at me like that. 133 00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:20,160 This is a holy war. They're serious. And when a man with my experience tells you that, you should listen. 134 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:26,960 They scare the shite out of me. You could..."disincentivise" them. Kill them, you mean? 135 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,560 Great minds think alike, Davy. Sadly, my branch chief had other ideas. 136 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:39,000 Wanted his money up front. But by the time he realised he was an eejit, they were already on their way. 137 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:45,040 And so I had to come crying to youse. For help. You do what I ask, and you'll get it all. 138 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Names, routes, dates, everything we've got. We've got access. We've got trust. 139 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,680 Jesus, Mr Crockett, I'm your man in the Sudan. When did they leave? 140 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,440 They're already here? 141 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,800 How much money do you want? Money is not our only concern. 142 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:11,280 What do you want? Today is Tuesday... I want a blind eye kept till sunrise Thursday. 143 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,880 We're doing a bit of business here, and we'd rather you kept your noses out of it. 144 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:22,160 No police, no Special Branch, no uniforms. 30 hours. Special offer. 145 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:29,560 This is a...technical matter, but how can we trust you? We should just let you commit a terrorist outrage? 146 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:36,160 Trusting your enemy's a fine art, Mr Crockett. We're not planning a "terrorist outrage"! 147 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,360 All right? You're forgetting it's OUR country on the line here, too. 148 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,520 New SIM card. Call the number in the address book between 1651 and 1700 tonight. 149 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,880 Nine minutes only, then I dump the phone. Why the rush? Why d'you think?! You mean it's soon? 150 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,920 I mean you'd better get back in your car. We have a deal? 151 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:07,160 Bit unfair, really. You know MY name, and I know YOURS ain't Davy bloody Crockett. Call me Dave. 152 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:18,440 How many times do I have to tell you? This is contaminated truth! It's a hook. 153 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:24,240 If we ignore the activities of McCann's group for 30 hours, you know what we'd be doing? 154 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:30,080 Trading an attack by a splinter Republican cell for a fantasy about Sefton B! I disagree. 155 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:37,120 Why? The stakes are high. Dissident IRA commander comes alone to a safe house. Follows up with a meeting. 156 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:43,800 Keeps to his word about backup AND time and place. We know that the word of the IRA, whatever faction, 157 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:51,360 is as permanent as a fart in a wind machine. We've no choice. We have to deal. We have four hours to agree. 158 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:57,440 We have a potential moral horror here. I do not like moral horrors. I prefer facts. Danny, Zoe, 159 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:04,040 how vulnerable is Sefton B? And what anti-tank weapon could Azabia have gotten hold of? Right. Right. 160 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,760 We have ONE ace in the hole. ..I've been dishonest, Tom. When you met McCann, you DID have backup. 161 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:15,760 It worked rather well. They followed you, then followed him...to his hideaway. 162 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:21,400 Thanks to you, we have a dissident IRA commander under surveillance. 163 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,440 He's over here on his evil business. He must be stopped. 164 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,520 That's what's going to happen. There'll be no deals with McCann. 165 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,480 NUMBER IS DIALLED 166 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,320 Zoe, call. 167 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,440 Where are you? Almost there. I need an urgent appointment with the DG. But cover for me for an hour. 168 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,160 You and Danny do exactly as Harry told you, find out about the weapon. 169 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,640 When's Tom due back? Not for an hour or so. 170 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:13,720 I've been to Sefton B. It's hard. Two reprocessing plants, four reactors, Britain's main plutonium stockpile. 171 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:20,600 They've not got a sign saying "Bewar Of The Sheep"! It's protected. It's not the main site I'm worried about. 172 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,640 Area D421. It houses about 20 tanks containing liquid high-level radioactive waste. 173 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:33,120 A leak would release a cloud 45 times as deadly as Chernobyl. No wonder the Irish are up in arms. 174 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:40,840 They've concrete coming out of their arses. You can't do anything except from the air, and the RAF cover that. 175 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,760 Normally, half the tanks are empty. But with increased capacity, the stand-by tanks are almost all full. 176 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:52,600 Two intermediate level tanks have thin concrete containment, about a metre. 177 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,880 They're being refurbished, especially their roof. 178 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,920 To hit the roof, you'd need something to fly up, then strike straight down. 179 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:08,440 Most mobile anti-tank units fire direct, they do not have a top-attack mode. So SOME do, then. 180 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,800 I'll get the MOD on the blower. 181 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,880 Mr Quinn, the DG has asked me to say that it's best he doesn't see you. 182 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,720 This is a matter of national... Please let me finish. 183 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,840 Best he doesn't ACTUALLY see you. However, at the moment, there is a window. 184 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,360 Would you follow me? 185 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:48,480 I'll just take your blood pressure. There'll be a little discomfort. 186 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,920 Yes, Doctor. Well, get on with it. I haven't got all day! 187 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,880 SHE CLEARS THROAT 188 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,760 So, you are here to complain about your superior in the Service? 189 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:09,400 Yes. I never thought I'd have to talk about Harry like this. Why not? If he's going doolally, needs must! 190 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:16,040 Please, sir, this is difficult for me. Please don't emote. You're here to gripe, so spit. I'm not here to.. 191 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:22,640 It's never my policy to listen to gripes. That's why this meeting isn't taking place. Open wide. Say "Ah". 192 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:28,400 Ah-h-h-h. You believe the Irishman? Yes. Why? 193 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,160 Three reasons. The personal risk he's taking by even talking to us. 194 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,440 The credibility of his story and the seriousness of what is at stake. 195 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:44,120 If they have no surveillance for 30 hours, what do you think they'll do? I think they'll keep to their word. 196 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:50,440 No, that's what you WANT to happen. But as the old KGB used to say, "Hope for the best, expect the worst." 197 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,560 Hence I ask, what is your worst fear in this scenario? They launch an attack on the mainland. 198 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:04,120 In which case we prevent a greater outrage, a possibility, by allowing a lesser, a certainty? Yes. 199 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:11,200 A moral twister. Terrible to decide. The art of dealing with your enemy is a fine thing. Bend over, please. 200 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,080 Do you...enjoy such decisions? 201 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,760 No. Wrong answer. If you don't, you have no business in the Service. 202 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:26,840 I'm going to overrule Harry on this occasion. Go ahead. Call Rosie when it's done, and I'll deal with Harry. 203 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,320 GLOVE SNAPS Thank you, sir. 204 00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:34,360 Now, it's finger-up-my-prostate time, so I'd be grateful if you leave. Sir. 205 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,160 Work phone, we've put McCann's SIM card in here, all teed up. OK. How long do we have? 206 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,960 Four minutes to cut-off. OK, stay close. 207 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:53,040 Recording. 'Davy Crockett, I presume.' King of the wild frontier. 'Cutting it fine, aren't you?' 208 00:21:53,080 --> 00:22:01,440 I'm going to give you a number, mobile number. This is my number. 07700 900 002. 209 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:08,360 Confirm that. 07700 900 002. No contact till sunrise Thursday. 210 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:15,440 Reckon they'll give us the information on Sefton B? They say... HE says. And I believe him. 211 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,280 PHONE RINGS 212 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,040 Hello? 213 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,040 It's done. Thank you. 214 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,720 Brace for impact. 215 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,040 Tom Quinn! 216 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:06,480 You went over my head? I took a decision. The wrong one! GCHQ picked up a Pay As You Go mobile keyword. 217 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:13,800 Irish splinter group plans to hit Broad Street Railway Station tomorrow morning. Rush hour. A bomb! 218 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:20,840 MOD flash. 5lb of Semtex gone from an arms shipment in Newcastle. MO has McCann's group written all over it. 219 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:27,680 And this is the man in whom you've put your trust! You went over my head. Now I'm going over YOURS. 220 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,240 No more deals. We're going to stop that bomb. 221 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:38,760 Smooth bureaucracy away from now on. Total communication. We group-hug this one or we all fall down. 222 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:45,800 'Davy, I said no contact!' There hasn't been. 'So why tail me? Took me a bloody hour to shake them!' 223 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,360 I didn't want it. Sadly, my branch chief had other ideas. 224 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:57,040 'Problems upstairs, Davy(?)' You sai no acts of terror. You're planning to hit Broad Street Station. 225 00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:04,160 Keep to the agreement. You said no acts of terror. 'We're at war with Britain. 226 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:11,200 'There's no such thing as terrorism in wartime. We're striking back. We're back in business in a big way.' 227 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,840 No warning? 'The rules have changed, Davy. The gloves are off. 228 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:21,840 'Try and stop our operation, the deal is dead, and damn the consequences for all of us.' 229 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:29,040 I know you think your boss is a little...emotional over Irish matters. 230 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:34,040 Well, I AM, and for the good of this team, I'd like to explain why. 231 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:39,120 I was in Ireland in 1978. My best friend was a man named Bill Crombie. 232 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:46,160 One day, we found ourselves in a rebel pub looking for an IRA brigade commander. Terrible mistake. 233 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,840 I left, he stayed. 234 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:55,880 Bravado. They shoved him in the boot of a car. I could do nothing - I had no field telephone, no weapon. 235 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:03,120 They dumped his body later. Hard to identify a body, most of which has been burnt away by a blowtorch. 236 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,040 The brigade commander's name was Patrick McCann. 237 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,920 This has informed my judgement on this matter. 238 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,680 I trust you'll all understand. Yes. Yes, Harry. 239 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,520 Absolutely, Harry. 240 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,600 Yes. 241 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,120 Thank you. 242 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:39,800 Their side, we know. They'll blow up one of London's busiest stations, unless we stop them. We can't. 243 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:47,240 They haven't told us enough about Sefton B. They could withdraw. If we don't stop the bomb, it'll explode. 244 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:54,120 We've been in this situation before. A source tips us off. Stopping the bomb compromises the source. 245 00:25:54,160 --> 00:26:00,440 Letting it explode could help stop at least 20 others. It's a balance sheet of risks. 246 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,640 Lesser evil stops greater evil. Even when the greater evil is a fiction? 247 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,560 It's a chance we have to take. Not on MY watch. We move. This bomb does not go off. 248 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,840 Maybe he's right. Or he's flipped. Do not talk about Harry like that. 249 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:22,880 What happened in Belfast could warp his judgement. Drop it! If Sefton B is gonna happen, we have to stop it. 250 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:29,960 Even if there's the remotest chance. We're going to. ..Zoe, every hour, you are going to rewrite Special Ops 251 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,480 on how we're supposedly stopping McCann's bomb...for Harry's eyes. 252 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:41,320 Fiction? Harry must think we're stopping the bomb. Look at old ops cables and strategy if you like, 253 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:45,640 but make it watertight. Harry is not easy to lie to. I can imagine. 254 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:53,040 Danny, find out which weapon Azabia plan to use. I've been screaming at the MOD, but they're snobby bastards 255 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,800 Then scream louder, pull files on their wives. We have to know the weapon. 256 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:04,320 Are we running an MI5 inside MI5?! Two projects in tandem. The real one and the decoy. 257 00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:11,520 Decoy goes to Harry, reality stays here. We have the DG's blessing. Let's get this done quickly, OK? 258 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:18,240 Anything, anything at all, call my mobile. Say the word "bureaucracy", I'll know Harry's in earshot. 259 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:25,000 If we stop the blast, McCann will cut us off. We won't stop it, we'll smother it. No overt action. 260 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:31,520 It can be done, we've all seen it done before. McCann won't believe it. I don't need him to believe it. 261 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:39,240 I just need doubt in the equation for a barefaced denial. We're giving him craters, not corpses. Get busy. 262 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,760 I need a roof collapse at Broad Street Station. Think Heathrow tunnels in '94. 263 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,280 All trains divert to London Bridge or Clapham. 264 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,320 The roof will go at Broad Street. Never mind how I know. 265 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:58,920 It's '60s architecture - of course it's fallen down! Tarpaulin on the ceiling, cladding on the concourse... 266 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,000 Tubes must stop. Customer action. It has to look and sound perfect. 267 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:09,360 It's national security. You're going to sign the Official Secrets Act. 268 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,200 By courier from Special Ops. Thanks. 269 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:21,520 Double the watchers on the station. I've spoken to Security, and they'll use the conduit under the platform. 270 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:28,160 When they leave the package, they'll tell us what time it's set for, so start clearing the place. 271 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:38,880 'We regret to announce that all trains have been re-routed. Thank you.' 272 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:44,480 Infrastructure's fine, pedestrian routes fine, Station Road's closed. 273 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,240 Apart from bureaucratic wranglings. Absolutely. 274 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,960 Latest ops? Yup. Zoe? 275 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:04,640 For the record, I hate this as much as you do. Is that the REAL record, is it?! 276 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,960 PHONE RINGS 277 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,800 Yup? 'Device set for 7.30. Shall we lock it down?' Yes. 'Confirmed.' 278 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,680 So far so good. 279 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,760 Sorry, sir, you'll have to go... 280 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,120 Yeah. 281 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,240 That's just come in from the MOD. 282 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,880 Thanks. 283 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,920 Structural damage...no casualties. 284 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,160 We're in the clear. 285 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,080 Tom... 286 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,760 Mmm? 287 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,040 That anti-attack weapon... It's a Scimitar missile. 288 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,840 A batch of six were stolen back in the mid-'90s. 289 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:28,680 That's why the MOD were clammed up. I had to tell them. When I said the magic word "Sefton B", bowels opened. 290 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:35,240 A Scimitar. I've fired one of these. Not good. We were thinking lorries. This can be operated by two people. 291 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:42,240 My hourly report tells me the bomb has not been placed, yet the station is in pieces! 292 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,280 Somebody speak! 293 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,920 Right... 294 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960 You lot. 295 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,800 Meeting room...NOW! 296 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,480 My department faked a cover-up. YOUR department? 297 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:12,320 You were fed false reports. And it's not in pieces - part of it's faked, the rest was them. Damaged one side. 298 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,360 Who was aware of this? 299 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:26,800 Harry, I'm sorry. I saw a mushroom cloud over the bloody country. I didn't... 300 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:33,520 You always taught me to keep personal issues away from judgement. YOU didn't. 301 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:39,840 I'm sorry. ..The attack on Sefton B is looking real. We even know the weapon they're going to use. 302 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,360 Shall we brief you? 303 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,360 Oh, well... Needs must. 304 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,080 I did a similar thing myself once to the DG. 305 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,120 No corpses? 306 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,640 You were lucky. 307 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,800 What weapon? What...? 308 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:17,080 Oh, uh, right. The Scimitar was actually a prototype built for the... Did you say Scimitar? 309 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,320 Mmm. ..built for the LFATGWS program, a horrible acronym for... 310 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,720 Light Forces Anti-Tank Guided Weapons System. ..Well, go on! 311 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:33,760 It's a variation on the Milan or the Javelin, with two parts - the command launch unit and the round itself. 312 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:41,120 Can be carried by two people. Range is just under 1.9km. This was filmed in Kosovo. Two warheads - correct? 313 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:48,840 One to breach reactive armour, one to pulverise base armour - in this case, concrete and the steel tank. 314 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,000 How did they find about D421? An Irish website monitors building at the plant. It's open source. 315 00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:02,000 Their analysis and timing are accurate. Azabia may have someone on the inside, too - we can't be sur 316 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:08,320 till we re-vet the plant. We're only halfway through. The concrete should maintain integrity under blast. 317 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:15,400 The reinforcement may be corroded. I feel sick. Can't we shut it down? You can't shut down nuclear waste! 318 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,360 How will they deliver the ordnance? Don't know. That's where Patrick's information comes in. 319 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,000 IF it comes in. ..Surely even McCann wouldn't screw us on the timing, 320 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:32,360 which means tomorrow, sunrise, the clock starts ticking and only he knows when the alarm's set for. 321 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,400 Meantime, we need a buffer zone. Cleanse the area.
