1
00:00:00,619 --> 00:00:04,700
We recently uncovered
a man we misplaced in Moscow.
2
00:00:08,739 --> 00:00:10,979
Oscar is dead. I know he's dead.
3
00:00:11,014 --> 00:00:13,185
I've missed you. I have to go.
4
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:17,099
There is someone who was working
with Hugo Prince at the time.
5
00:00:17,134 --> 00:00:19,504
Connie. You and he were
quite close, weren't you?
6
00:00:19,539 --> 00:00:22,940
Hardly knew him. Somebody has been
talking to the Russians.
7
00:00:22,975 --> 00:00:25,860
The Kremlin is attempting
to destabilise this country,
8
00:00:25,895 --> 00:00:28,065
which is a stepping stone
on Russia's path
9
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:31,019
towards becoming the world's
first energy superpower.
10
00:00:35,099 --> 00:00:38,780
'The Bank of England has today ceased
to prop up the financial markets,
11
00:00:38,815 --> 00:00:42,100
'sparking fears the reserves
have reached a critical low.
12
00:00:42,135 --> 00:00:44,859
'Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Gillian Calderwood,
13
00:00:44,894 --> 00:00:47,576
'defended Britain's
financial prospects.'
14
00:00:47,611 --> 00:00:50,224
'I believe Britain
is weathering the storm.
15
00:00:50,259 --> 00:00:52,745
'The worst of the credit crunch
is now behind us.
16
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:58,305
'There are no more losses to uncover,
no more grounds for runs on banks.
17
00:00:58,340 --> 00:01:04,979
'So my message to the British public is to have
confidence in us and confidence in themselves.
18
00:01:05,014 --> 00:01:09,264
'Together, we are putting Britain
back on track.'
19
00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:13,379
'The spectre of rising inflation is
haunting the world's leading economists.'
20
00:01:13,414 --> 00:01:17,424
'Companies that sent out a consumer
consensus say that confidence is weak,
21
00:01:17,459 --> 00:01:22,220
'and there have been some statistics showing
that spending in the capital is now weak.'
22
00:01:22,255 --> 00:01:26,459
'Economic growth is slowing, fears
of stagflation, stagnant growth
23
00:01:26,494 --> 00:01:28,824
'combined with accelerating
inflation...'
24
00:01:28,859 --> 00:01:33,224
'Inflation is now well above
the Government's target of just 2%.'
25
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:37,059
Chancellor, you've met Francis
Denham, Chairman of Highland Life Bank.
26
00:01:37,094 --> 00:01:39,705
Chancellor. Thanks.
27
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:41,944
The reason we've asked you
here today
28
00:01:41,979 --> 00:01:46,425
is this man. Alexis Meynell, one of
the richest financiers in the world.
29
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:53,379
City legend is he made his first big deal with a
huge bet against airline stocks, the morning of 9/11.
30
00:01:53,414 --> 00:01:57,699
As the second plane ploughed into
its target, Meynell made £15 billion.
31
00:01:57,734 --> 00:02:01,059
Since then, he's become the world's
biggest financial vulture.
32
00:02:01,094 --> 00:02:04,196
If an economy is weak,
he preys on it.
33
00:02:04,231 --> 00:02:07,264
'Higher inflation
means bigger bills.'
34
00:02:07,299 --> 00:02:11,979
'The banks have made unwise lending
decisions that were taken overseas...'
35
00:02:12,014 --> 00:02:15,459
'..the downward part
of that boom-bust cycle
36
00:02:15,494 --> 00:02:18,184
'that we can expect to see...'
37
00:02:18,219 --> 00:02:21,064
His method is to start runs
on banks, spreading rumours
38
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:24,944
that a bank's in trouble, causing
depositors to withdraw their money.
39
00:02:24,979 --> 00:02:28,899
He then places a bet that the value of
the bank's share price will collapse.
40
00:02:28,934 --> 00:02:32,019
While others lose everything,
he walks away with millions.
41
00:02:32,054 --> 00:02:35,304
Insider trading. On a vast scale.
42
00:02:35,339 --> 00:02:38,359
We know his target's Francis's bank,
Highland Life.
43
00:02:38,394 --> 00:02:41,344
But he's too clever
to leave a trail of evidence.
44
00:02:41,379 --> 00:02:44,904
So I've sent my section chief,
undercover, to find some.
45
00:02:44,939 --> 00:02:48,299
'..that's leading the fall in
the housing and property prices,
46
00:02:48,334 --> 00:02:50,619
'which makes us all feel
a lot poorer.
47
00:02:50,654 --> 00:02:52,545
Minister, this man is dangerous.
48
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:56,499
Meynell's bully tactics could cause
the whole economy to collapse.
49
00:02:56,534 --> 00:02:58,384
Now he's here. No mobiles, please.
50
00:02:58,419 --> 00:03:03,500
'It's the end of a super pool that has
lasted since the end of the Second World War.'
51
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:06,864
We need you to do exactly as we say.
52
00:03:06,899 --> 00:03:10,100
You need to freeze Meynell's assets
before he tries anything.
53
00:03:10,135 --> 00:03:11,865
I can't, without hard evidence.
54
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,864
This is the worst crisis
for 80 years.
55
00:03:13,899 --> 00:03:19,740
If Meynell starts a run on Highland Life or any
other bank, millions of people will lose everything.
56
00:03:19,775 --> 00:03:24,060
I really think this is a... Minister, my
bank holds a million and a half mortgages,
57
00:03:24,095 --> 00:03:27,504
two million savings accounts.
I can't let Meynell threaten those.
58
00:03:27,539 --> 00:03:31,580
We'll get you the evidence, but
you'll have to freeze Meynell's assets.
59
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:02,600
Jenny Hunter. Chandler Rouse.
60
00:04:02,635 --> 00:04:05,225
Meynell is obsessively cautious.
61
00:04:05,260 --> 00:04:07,504
But we were able to turn
one of his managers.
62
00:04:07,539 --> 00:04:14,060
Soon after that, Asset called to say that he
needed to meet. We never saw him alive again.
63
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,464
Your office
always sends me Helen Webster.
64
00:04:20,499 --> 00:04:23,699
Helen had to take personal leave,
but she's passed me the file
65
00:04:23,734 --> 00:04:26,340
and I'm fully up to date
with your tax situation.
66
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:33,699
Asa...Get Miss Hunter a desk.
67
00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:14,099
This belongs to us. We see
everything that goes in or out on it.
68
00:05:14,134 --> 00:05:16,384
All UK tax issues
are your responsibility.
69
00:05:16,419 --> 00:05:21,339
Any questions, don't talk to the other managers,
come straight to me or Alexis. Glad to be on board.
70
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:27,624
Yeah...
71
00:05:27,659 --> 00:05:29,939
He burnt out.
72
00:05:33,779 --> 00:05:36,544
Asa, check Miss Hunter's credentials.
73
00:05:36,579 --> 00:05:39,585
Meynell doesn't allow
mobile phones in his office.
74
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:42,819
We've had to improvise a way
of getting information in and out.
75
00:05:42,854 --> 00:05:44,904
Take care, Francis.
76
00:05:44,939 --> 00:05:47,259
Thanks, Harry.
I knew I could count on you.
77
00:05:47,294 --> 00:05:49,340
We'll work this out.
78
00:05:54,780 --> 00:05:55,780
It's time.
79
00:06:13,299 --> 00:06:16,624
Can I get some coffee? Sure.
80
00:06:16,659 --> 00:06:20,019
A double macchiato with skimmed milk
and a shot of hazelnut syrup.
81
00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:28,580
Ben got a coded alert from Ros. Meynell's
about to do something. This is it.
82
00:06:28,615 --> 00:06:31,517
He's released a rumour
to unsettle the market.
83
00:06:31,552 --> 00:06:34,384
Tell Gillian Calderwood
we'll find proof it's him.
84
00:06:34,419 --> 00:06:38,759
'One of the High Street's leading banks
is rumoured to be on the brink of collapse.
85
00:06:38,794 --> 00:06:43,100
'City workers arrived at their desks this
morning to find an anonymous email...'
86
00:06:43,135 --> 00:06:46,299
Minister, Lucas North. I assume
you've seen the latest?
87
00:06:46,334 --> 00:06:48,464
Yes. And I have Francis Denham
with me.
88
00:06:48,499 --> 00:06:51,945
We've just issued a statement
denying the rumour.
89
00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:56,819
Classic Meynell. Anonymous e-mail containing
untraceable allegations against a major bank.
90
00:06:56,854 --> 00:07:01,100
If you can steady the City's nerves, our
officer will prove that this is sabotage.
91
00:07:01,135 --> 00:07:04,384
She'd better hurry. In 10 minutes,
the market will go haywire.
92
00:07:04,419 --> 00:07:08,499
We've got to freeze his assets. Jo,
I need you to get a message to Ros.
93
00:07:08,534 --> 00:07:11,357
We need proof that that e-mail
came from Meynell - now.
94
00:07:11,392 --> 00:07:14,180
What do you mean, you've frozen
all account transfers?
95
00:07:16,019 --> 00:07:19,944
Everything I have is with you.
You must let me!
96
00:07:19,979 --> 00:07:22,824
'The chairman Sir Francis Denham
joined the Treasury
97
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:27,784

e-mail rumours as malicious lies.

00:07:27,819 --> 00:07:34,020
'He insisted his bank was not hiding bad debts
or sub prime losses and remained in good health.'
99
00:07:36,579 --> 00:07:37,580
Thanks.
100
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:03,105
OK, everybody, here we go.
101
00:08:03,140 --> 00:08:07,660
- 'One of the High Street banks is on the brink of collapse.'
- Highland Life is dropping.
102

'City workers arrived
at their desks this morning...'
103
00:08:10,579 --> 00:08:14,180
Chancellor, my officer is working to
prove that Meynell is launching
104
00:08:14,215 --> 00:08:17,299
these rumours, but you must deal
with what's happening now.
105
00:08:17,334 --> 00:08:19,864
He's right.
We know what he's trying to do.
106
00:08:19,899 --> 00:08:24,025
You have to calm the market, show
some confidence in Highland Life.
107
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:28,825
We need 10 billion to show the market the
economy's too strong to be hurt by rumours.
108
00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:33,980
The Treasury lent 150 billion to High Street banks
this year. Anything more, we'll be shutting schools.
109
00:08:37,139 --> 00:08:41,340
You have to do this, Chancellor. It'll
cost 10 times as much if the bank collapses.
110
00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:46,220
There's no other way, Gillian,
you have to step in.
111
00:08:47,220 --> 00:08:49,185
Come on.
112
00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:50,739
Do something!
113
00:08:54,380 --> 00:09:00,979
Every penny I've saved
is with Highland Life. I'm done for.
114
00:09:01,014 --> 00:09:03,785
You're doing
the right thing, Gillian.
115
00:09:03,820 --> 00:09:08,145
'Unexpected relief for Highland Life
shareholders today with the surprise
116
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:13,820

Highland Life are sitting on huge undeclared debts.'
118

Those bastards.
119
00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:26,104
Francis Denham, you have friends
in high places.
120
00:09:26,139 --> 00:09:30,980
Excuse me, Alexis, I need you to sign this
authorisation so I can put together the return.
121
00:09:32,979 --> 00:09:36,620
I'm assuming we don't share
the Government's confidence
122
00:09:36,655 --> 00:09:38,820
that Highland Life's troubles
are rumours?
123
00:09:38,855 --> 00:09:40,745
We don't, and we're right.
124
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:44,185
But if they're willing to match us,
we'll have to re-think.
125
00:09:44,220 --> 00:09:48,220
We've already put 8 billion into this.
We didn't think they'd stretch to that.
126
00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:52,220
If you're sure Highland Life's in
trouble, it doesn't matter how far they go.
127
00:09:52,255 --> 00:09:55,300
They can't lie to the market
indefinitely.
128
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:04,040
My thought exactly.
129
00:10:04,075 --> 00:10:06,180
Double our position.
130
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:10,105
We can't do that! You heard me.
131
00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:15,579
They're willing to go to 10, we go
to 16. They go to 16, we go to 32.
132
00:10:15,614 --> 00:10:17,425
We don't stop until they run out!
133
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:20,379
If the price keeps recovering,
we are destroyed!
134
00:10:20,414 --> 00:10:25,779
Come on, Asa,
where are your balls, eh?
135
00:10:25,814 --> 00:10:28,836
Where are all your balls?
136
00:10:28,871 --> 00:10:31,859
Now, this is what we do.
137
00:10:33,459 --> 00:10:36,460
We are the forces
that drive this market.
138
00:10:39,459 --> 00:10:45,300
This is us versus the establishment.
Our truth versus their lies!
139
00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:51,500
Yes?
140
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:13,585
Put me through to the brokers.
141
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:18,020
Alexis would like you to double
our position against Highland Life.
142
00:11:18,055 --> 00:11:21,699
That's right, 16 billion.
143
00:11:21,734 --> 00:11:23,739
Just do it, please.

'House prices could tumble
by as much as a third.'
145

'A hundred, or even
two hundred billion.'
146
00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:33,899
What's happening now? The price
is crashing! This is him again.
147
00:11:33,934 --> 00:11:37,419
This is Meynell trying to show
he's big enough to move the market.
148
00:11:37,454 --> 00:11:38,944
But you have to match him.
149
00:11:38,979 --> 00:11:42,899
The only way to stop this is to show
you're not scared. You can't back down.
150
00:11:42,934 --> 00:11:45,500
Not now we've come this far.
151
00:11:50,139 --> 00:11:51,624
Gillian?
152
00:11:51,659 --> 00:11:54,300
I'm sorry, Francis.
There's nothing left.
153
00:11:54,335 --> 00:11:56,305
You're abandoning me?
154
00:11:56,340 --> 00:12:00,105
I can suspend trading in
Highland Life shares for 24 hours.
155
00:12:00,140 --> 00:12:03,699
The whole thing will start again
tomorrow. My bank will be ruined.
156
00:12:03,734 --> 00:12:07,740
There's nothing else I can do.
I simply don't have the money.
157
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:13,139
Now, we wait.

yourself manhandled back by your own side.

00:12:58,375 --> 00:13:02,305
If I suspect you of being part
of a possible security breach...
163
00:13:02,340 --> 00:13:07,419
Security breach?! ..then I have to exclude you
from the grid and deny you access to communication.
164
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:11,940
Let's let them get on with their job. I think
we both know the outcome we're hoping for.
165
00:13:11,975 --> 00:13:15,865
So far, everything
about her seems fine.
166
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:19,419
She's got glowing references
wherever she's been.
167
00:13:19,454 --> 00:13:21,300
Almost too perfect.
168
00:13:28,860 --> 00:13:33,980
So...where were you
before Chandler Rouse?
169
00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:39,544
Different places. I spent quite
a long time in the Cayman Islands.
170
00:13:39,579 --> 00:13:45,419
The Caymans? Then you must have come across Freddie Vincent
- of the Equity Partnership?
171
00:13:45,454 --> 00:13:49,357
Oh, yeah, everybody knows Freddie.
Great, why don't I e-mail him?
172
00:13:49,392 --> 00:13:53,386
I think he's in town. He's due
at an event I'm holding later.
173
00:13:53,421 --> 00:13:57,380
If you wanted to catch up with him,
you could come too. Alexis?
174
00:13:57,415 --> 00:13:59,059
Yes?
175
00:14:00,659 --> 00:14:03,900
Sounds lovely. Why don't you see
if his partner's around?
176
00:14:05,660 --> 00:14:08,099
Alexis! They've blinked!
177
00:14:08,134 --> 00:14:10,504
Quickly, turn it up.
178
00:14:10,539 --> 00:14:15,260
'It seems that despite their wish not to
be dictated to by what one insider described
179
00:14:15,295 --> 00:14:18,625
'as false and malicious
rumour-mongering, the Treasury decided
180
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:22,579
'it had no option except to freeze
all trading on the bank's shares.
181
00:14:22,614 --> 00:14:24,505
'This can only be
a temporary measure.
182
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:31,260
'Pressure remains on Highland Life to open its accounts
and prove that it's not hiding undisclosed losses.
183
00:14:31,295 --> 00:14:35,619
'That pressure will intensify once trading
resumes in its shares tomorrow morning.'
184
00:14:36,659 --> 00:14:42,904
So...we were right.
185
00:14:42,939 --> 00:14:47,139
Yes. But I didn't have to put
eight billion on it.
186
00:14:52,979 --> 00:14:55,740
All right, playtime's over.
Let's get back to work.
187
00:15:09,380 --> 00:15:11,385
Alexis? You forgot this.
188
00:15:11,420 --> 00:15:15,579
Where are you going? Guilty habit.
189
00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:17,379
I'll come too.
190
00:15:22,659 --> 00:15:24,140
Only be a minute.
191
00:15:34,620 --> 00:15:36,420
It's these earrings.
192
00:15:46,859 --> 00:15:49,985
'The Governor of the Bank of England
wrote to the Chancellor,
193
00:15:50,020 --> 00:15:53,579
'explaining why inflation is so high
and what's being done about it.'
194
00:15:53,614 --> 00:15:57,139
She's got Meynell with her, we'll
have to improvise. So what's next?
195
00:15:57,174 --> 00:16:00,500
We settle up, or stay in and hope
the price keeps falling?
196
00:16:00,535 --> 00:16:01,980
I've got them in sight.
197
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:05,340
You're very inquisitive, aren't you?
198
00:16:05,375 --> 00:16:07,499
I am about tax, yes.
199
00:16:09,339 --> 00:16:12,225
Well, what happens next
200
00:16:12,260 --> 00:16:17,180
is that we watch
Gillian Calderwood wriggle.
201
00:16:19,019 --> 00:16:20,859
Allow me.
202
00:16:29,859 --> 00:16:34,824
So you don't mind if Highland Life collapses,
taking half the banking system with it?
203
00:16:34,859 --> 00:16:40,460
Are you seriously asking me to feel sorry for a
politician who'd sell us all for a thousand votes?
204
00:16:40,495 --> 00:16:45,780
For fat cat board members raking in enormous
salaries for doing absolutely nothing?
205
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:54,585
Ah! It's empty.
206
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:56,340
I never drop litter.
207
00:17:06,620 --> 00:17:07,820
She's made the drop.
208
00:17:09,459 --> 00:17:12,620
What's Francis Denham doing here?
Jo, be quick!
209
00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:20,985
Jo, make the drop!
210
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:23,940
Jo, get out - Denham's behind you!
211
00:17:31,219 --> 00:17:33,225
Are you scared?
212
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:35,660
I've come to ask you to stop
what you're doing.
213
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:42,620
Look at you, you pathetic,
self-interested little man.
214
00:17:42,655 --> 00:17:45,184
You played the market
and now you've lost.
215
00:17:45,219 --> 00:17:49,859
Even if I've made mistakes, millions
will suffer if my bank collapses.
216
00:17:49,894 --> 00:17:54,500
People who don't deserve to. They
were your responsibility, not mine.
217
00:17:54,535 --> 00:17:57,619
Please...I'll do anything.
218
00:17:57,654 --> 00:17:58,980
Don't touch me!
219
00:18:04,899 --> 00:18:08,659
Now, I have work to do.
220
00:18:14,420 --> 00:18:15,939
Shall we?
221
00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:29,904
Malcolm, do a search.
222
00:18:29,939 --> 00:18:33,939
Anything relating to Highland Life.
I need something to shut him down.
223
00:18:44,459 --> 00:18:46,179
Jo, everything all right?
224
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:52,260
Fine. We had to improvise,
but Meynell didn't notice.
225
00:18:52,295 --> 00:18:53,784
It's found nothing.
226
00:18:53,819 --> 00:18:58,299
This can trawl incoming, sent and deleted
items for keywords and related variations.
227
00:18:58,334 --> 00:19:00,064
It's found nothing.
228
00:19:00,099 --> 00:19:03,699
Whatever sabotage e-mails he sent,
he didn't do it from this account.
229
00:19:03,734 --> 00:19:07,864
Right, I think it's time I paid
a visit to Meynell's office.
230
00:19:07,899 --> 00:19:13,419
'Harry Pearce, please leave a message.' Harry,
it's Francis. I need to see you. Usual place.
231
00:19:13,454 --> 00:19:18,259
The situation is worse
than I admitted, a lot worse.
232
00:19:18,294 --> 00:19:20,859
I'm afraid I may have destroyed
everything.
233
00:19:30,259 --> 00:19:31,700
No, we found nothing, sir.
234
00:19:31,735 --> 00:19:33,060
Thank you.
235
00:19:41,099 --> 00:19:43,779
So, is that it? Is this over now?
236
00:19:45,219 --> 00:19:49,380
Harry, I don't know what theory this is
part of, or what you've got on your mind...
237
00:19:49,415 --> 00:19:51,659
Do you want to know
what's on my mind, Connie?
238
00:19:52,780 --> 00:19:55,460
You and Hugo Prince.
239
00:19:58,620 --> 00:20:01,980
But then,
you barely knew him, did you?
240
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:08,620
If I lied to you about Hugo Prince,
it was because it was private.
241
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:13,259
Then you don't deny that you had
a long-standing affair with him?
242
00:20:14,859 --> 00:20:16,905
I know what you're implying.
243
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:20,704
But unlike you,
Hugo knew when to stop.
244
00:20:20,739 --> 00:20:24,779
Whatever time we had, he didn't
spend it talking about work.
245
00:20:24,814 --> 00:20:27,424
How sweet. It's true.
246
00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:29,785
And I might even believe it,
247
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:32,420
if it weren't the case that
there's no other explanation.
248
00:20:34,020 --> 00:20:38,460
For what? What did he tell you, Connie,
about operations he and I worked on together?
249
00:20:38,495 --> 00:20:40,697
Nothing, Harry, nothing.
250
00:20:40,732 --> 00:20:42,864
What did he pass to you?
251
00:20:42,899 --> 00:20:45,500
Harry, I don't deserve to
be talked to like this.
252
00:20:45,535 --> 00:20:47,265
What did he pass to you? Harry...
253
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:51,579
Don't! Because whatever it was, I will not allow
you to jeopardise the operation he and I worked on.
254
00:20:51,614 --> 00:20:53,464
Fine.
255
00:20:53,499 --> 00:20:55,944
Do you want to see it?
256
00:20:55,979 --> 00:20:59,059
Do you want to see the only thing...
257
00:20:59,094 --> 00:21:01,305
Hugo Prince ever gave me?
258
00:21:01,340 --> 00:21:03,265
I was summoned to his hospital bed.
259
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,944
I thought it might be for
some declaration of love,
260
00:21:05,979 --> 00:21:09,384
or a meaningful token by which
I could remember what we had. But...
261
00:21:09,419 --> 00:21:15,260
of course, that wasn't Hugo's way. All I got
was a pat on the bum and this tacky souvenir.
262
00:21:16,659 --> 00:21:18,380
Harry!
263
00:21:29,139 --> 00:21:32,379
I promise you, I've never
seen that before in my life.
264
00:21:32,414 --> 00:21:35,425
'Hello, Harry, it's Hugo.
265
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:39,020
'If you're listening to this,
it's because there's been a breach.
266
00:21:41,259 --> 00:21:44,025
'I think you'll know
what I'm talking about.
267
00:21:44,060 --> 00:21:48,939
'And if that's happened, then I know my relationship
with Connie will have placed her under suspicion.
268
00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:53,104
'That's why I've left you
this message.
269
00:21:53,139 --> 00:21:57,580
'Because I want you to be sure that at
no time did I ever mention to Connie,
270
00:21:57,615 --> 00:22:01,980
'or pass on to her, anything
relating to the matters we worked on.
271
00:22:03,579 --> 00:22:07,059
'Though I never told her, Connie
was the most precious thing to me.
272
00:22:07,094 --> 00:22:09,064
'Maybe the most precious thing
of all.
273
00:22:09,099 --> 00:22:13,739
'And I know my selfishness caused her
enough harm while I was alive.

'And I couldn't bear to leave her
vulnerable, now that I'm going.

00:22:19,539 --> 00:22:21,740
'I hope you understand.'
276
00:22:36,540 --> 00:22:38,900
It's all right, Harry. I understand.
277
00:22:40,819 --> 00:22:42,579
I know you had to do it.
278
00:23:03,859 --> 00:23:05,625
First new message.
279
00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:10,620

suicide of Highland Life president Francis Denham

'Lucas, we have a problem.'
290
00:24:07,460 --> 00:24:13,700
Francis Denham is dead, suicide. There's
something he wasn't telling us. Get to Ros, fast.

get rid of her.

Thank you, darling.
301
00:25:27,939 --> 00:25:32,344
There was nothing on the SIM card, the Treasury are
going crazy. People are trying to withdraw money.
302
00:25:32,379 --> 00:25:36,979
Calderwood says that they don't have enough funds to
save the bank. We need to prove what Meynell's up to,
303
00:25:37,014 --> 00:25:39,424
so you'll have to get closer to him.
A lot closer.
304
00:25:39,459 --> 00:25:42,500
The last person we said that to
ended up face down in the Thames.
305
00:25:42,535 --> 00:25:44,144
Well, that last person wasn't you.
306
00:25:44,179 --> 00:25:48,380
Thanks for your concern, though I'm not sure you
pitching up here as my boyfriend is going to help.
307
00:25:48,415 --> 00:25:51,180
Come on, Ros, you know what men are
like. It's all in the challenge.
308
00:25:53,139 --> 00:25:55,944
Alexis, this is my partner, Pete.
309
00:25:55,979 --> 00:25:59,619
Fiance Pete, hi. Sorry,
I'm still not used to saying that.
310
00:25:59,654 --> 00:26:01,817
Oh, you don't wear an
engagement ring either.
311
00:26:01,852 --> 00:26:03,945
Well, we haven't been out
to choose one yet.
312
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:07,340
You know, I don't normally allow
visitors into my place of work.
313
00:26:07,375 --> 00:26:10,665
Oh, I'm sorry. I just popped in
because I work around the corner.
314
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:15,379
Where would that be? At what some might call
a proper bank, Zurich International. Right.
315
00:26:15,414 --> 00:26:19,220
Then you'll have received my invitation
to the little fundraiser later?
316
00:26:19,255 --> 00:26:23,180
Well, my PA doesn't always pass on
social stuff. It's not social.
317
00:26:23,215 --> 00:26:27,740
I'm launching the British arm of my
charitable foundation.
318
00:26:27,775 --> 00:26:32,459
And I know Zurich take
philanthropy very seriously.
319
00:26:32,494 --> 00:26:34,579
Well, in that case,
how can I refuse?
320
00:26:34,614 --> 00:26:37,236
Good. Shall we?
321
00:26:37,271 --> 00:26:39,859
See you later.
322
00:26:42,020 --> 00:26:44,620
That guy who just came in,
I recognise him.
323
00:26:44,655 --> 00:26:47,619
I don't think it's from the City.
Dig.
324
00:26:47,654 --> 00:26:50,139
Find out everything you can.
325
00:26:52,939 --> 00:26:57,900
'The close of yet another turbulent day for the market
saw Highland Life share prices at an all-time low,
326
00:26:57,935 --> 00:27:00,184
'amid concerns
for the troubled bank's future.
327
00:27:00,219 --> 00:27:03,579
'We've got less in the basket,
we have to make, basic cuts.
328
00:27:03,614 --> 00:27:07,779
'There are widespread reports
that inflation is up...'
329
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:30,780
You need to countersign the return.
330
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:32,739
No problem.
331
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:49,100
City shorthand. Basically, Meynell's switching
position on Highland Life. This morning, he was betting
332
00:27:49,135 --> 00:27:52,179
that the value would go down. Now,
he's taking billions to buy back in.
333
00:27:52,214 --> 00:27:54,860
Where's he getting so much
capital from? Who knows?
334
00:27:56,499 --> 00:28:01,739
What if it's a trap? Even it is, we have
to walk into it to find out what's going on.
335
00:28:17,540 --> 00:28:22,619
Thank you. Now, it's hard to sell
charity to the City at the moment.
336
00:28:22,654 --> 00:28:27,699
Most of you probably feel we should
be on the receiving end of it.
337
00:28:27,734 --> 00:28:32,019
But it's easy to give
during the good times.
338
00:28:34,259 --> 00:28:36,064
It's now,
339
00:28:36,099 --> 00:28:38,384
in the uncertain ones,
340
00:28:38,419 --> 00:28:42,220
that we can prove that we're
serious about helping others.
341
00:28:43,899 --> 00:28:47,999
I set up Freshwater many years ago
to help people in real need,
342
00:28:48,034 --> 00:28:52,100
people who aren't going to be
concerned by the collapse of a bank.
343
00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:57,339
They don't have bank accounts.
344
00:28:59,940 --> 00:29:02,184
They don't have clean drinking water.
345
00:29:02,219 --> 00:29:05,180
You have to give it to him.
He's got something.
346
00:29:05,215 --> 00:29:09,025
They don't have food on the table.
347
00:29:09,060 --> 00:29:15,500
They don't have roofs over their heads. They have
none of the things that we take for granted...
348
00:29:15,535 --> 00:29:18,465
Who's that?
349
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:21,465
Asa Darlek.
Meynell's right-hand man.
350
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:24,579
So, as someone once said... There's
something familiar about him.
351
00:29:24,614 --> 00:29:27,659
..sell a man a fish
and he eats for the day.
352
00:29:27,694 --> 00:29:30,304
Teach him how to catch it,
353
00:29:30,339 --> 00:29:33,339
and you ruin a great
business opportunity.
354
00:29:33,374 --> 00:29:36,659
But as someone else
more eloquently put it,
355
00:29:36,694 --> 00:29:40,260
"Give me your effing money...now!"
356
00:29:40,295 --> 00:29:42,020
Thank you.
357
00:29:44,259 --> 00:29:46,439
Give me one minute with him.
358
00:29:46,474 --> 00:29:48,786
Jenny. Very good. Thank you.
359
00:29:48,821 --> 00:29:51,064
"Sell a man a fish." Hmm.
360
00:29:51,099 --> 00:29:53,584
Why quote Karl Marx
to a room full of bankers?
361
00:29:53,619 --> 00:29:58,179
Well, nobody understood
capitalism as well as Marx.
362
00:29:58,214 --> 00:30:01,737
Because he wanted to destroy it?
Oh, no,
363
00:30:01,772 --> 00:30:05,260
because he knew
it would destroy itself.
364
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:11,020
Pete, glad you could make it. Oh, well,
I'll go anywhere for a glass of champagne.
365
00:30:11,055 --> 00:30:14,224
I love these events,
the City pretending it cares.
366
00:30:14,259 --> 00:30:17,619
I'm not sure everyone
shares your cynicism, Pete. Come on,
367
00:30:17,654 --> 00:30:20,060
this is just one big tax dodge
for you, isn't it?
368
00:30:20,095 --> 00:30:22,059
Whatever you say, Pete.
369
00:30:23,539 --> 00:30:25,220
Champagne, sir?
370
00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:32,420
I'm sure Jenny'll sort you out.
371
00:30:41,660 --> 00:30:43,059
Allow me.
372
00:30:44,259 --> 00:30:46,179
Erm, come and meet a few people.
373
00:30:53,859 --> 00:30:57,059
What's going on?
I'm fine. I slipped.
374
00:30:57,094 --> 00:31:00,260
OK, I'm going to Meynell's office.
375
00:31:00,295 --> 00:31:03,117
I'll call you once I'm in.
376
00:31:03,152 --> 00:31:05,904
I think I know what happened.
377
00:31:05,939 --> 00:31:08,499
And if there is a problem,
you need to talk to Harry.
378
00:31:11,819 --> 00:31:13,100
I'll return it.
379
00:32:22,460 --> 00:32:27,184
Hello. 'It's Ben. I'm looking at some
of the stuff on Meynell's hard drive.'
380
00:32:27,219 --> 00:32:31,059
There seem to be a lot of loan agreements, but
they're between Highland Life and another bank.
381
00:32:31,094 --> 00:32:33,776
Can you see which?
382
00:32:33,811 --> 00:32:36,459
Ben, which bank?
Can you see a name?
383
00:32:36,494 --> 00:32:38,660
Ben?
384
00:32:41,579 --> 00:32:42,579
Ben?
385
00:32:58,779 --> 00:33:01,779
Ben?
'Lucas, the bank's name is Salma.'
386
00:33:01,814 --> 00:33:03,585
Salma?
387
00:33:03,620 --> 00:33:05,180
That's a Russian bank.
388
00:33:10,740 --> 00:33:12,779
Where is he, by the way? Pete.
389
00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:17,379
He had to go back to the office,
he has a presentation tomorrow.
390
00:33:17,414 --> 00:33:19,620
Goodness. How industrious.
391
00:33:21,060 --> 00:33:24,499
And, erm, what are your plans,
392
00:33:24,534 --> 00:33:25,980
for after this?
393
00:33:40,899 --> 00:33:43,820
Thanks for coming
at such short notice. It's OK.
394
00:33:45,299 --> 00:33:48,825
Here's the FSB file
you asked for on Salma.
395
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:53,420
Asa Darlek? Youngest son of Vanya Darlek,
head of the Solsnetskaya crime syndicate.
396
00:33:53,455 --> 00:33:57,819
So the Russian Mafia
are behind Salma...
397
00:33:57,854 --> 00:33:58,864
and Meynell?
398
00:33:58,899 --> 00:34:03,539
According to our information, that's
where he gets his money from, to trade.
399
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:06,579
Darlek was staring at me. He must
have recognised me from Moscow.
400
00:34:06,614 --> 00:34:08,065
Thank you.
401
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:12,464
Lucas, I need to talk to you.
It's important.
402
00:34:12,499 --> 00:34:17,540
I'm in the middle of an operation, I
can't do this now. Don't use me, Lucas.
403
00:34:17,575 --> 00:34:19,820
Unless you know you can give me
everything.
404
00:34:29,099 --> 00:34:31,785
'Falls in house
and property prices...
405
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:36,540
'Negative equity... Bad times... People like
me, who've earned enormous amounts of money
406
00:34:36,575 --> 00:34:41,260
'and should be safe in this downturn...' Lucas.
It's a demand, from Salma to Highland Life
407
00:34:41,295 --> 00:34:44,585
for total repayment of their loans.
65 billion?
408
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:49,500
So Denham was lying. Highland Life should have
collapsed months ago. The only thing keeping it afloat
409
00:34:49,535 --> 00:34:53,299
were loans from a Mafia bank.
My life savings...
410
00:34:53,334 --> 00:34:55,899
gone. Lucas?
411
00:34:57,380 --> 00:34:58,379
My office.
412
00:35:03,620 --> 00:35:09,299
I have a confession to make. I'm afraid that
when I told you I'd never heard of "Sugar Horse,"
413
00:35:09,334 --> 00:35:13,465
I was lying.
And I need you to remember
414
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:18,145
everything that happened at the time
that it was mentioned.
415
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:23,820
Why? All I can tell you is that Sugar Horse is
the most important network in the history of MI5.
416
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:26,580
And now, it's been compromised.
417
00:35:31,260 --> 00:35:34,620
Do you know what they were doing
to me when it was mentioned? Yes,
418
00:35:34,655 --> 00:35:37,345
and I still need you to put yourself
back there.
419
00:35:37,380 --> 00:35:42,939
Who was present? Any details that might...
I was tortured for 17 days continuously!
420
00:35:42,974 --> 00:35:44,739
Lucas... Was Sugar Horse the reason?
421
00:35:49,059 --> 00:35:54,260
I'm certain it was. But now, you want me to
just put myself back there without telling me
422
00:35:54,295 --> 00:35:57,357
anything about what I was tortured
for? Lucas... Don't you dare
423
00:35:57,392 --> 00:36:00,420
try any of your sanctimonious
"good of the nation" crap on me!
424
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:05,139
There are limits to what
you can ask of people, Harry,
425
00:36:05,174 --> 00:36:07,379
even in our business.
426
00:36:08,979 --> 00:36:13,104
I'm sorry. And by the way,
if I were you, I'd talk to Jo.
427
00:36:13,139 --> 00:36:18,420
You probably haven't noticed, but she's in
trouble over what happened, a lot of trouble.
428
00:36:20,540 --> 00:36:25,259
'I think tomorrow could be a crucial day for
Highland Life. The banking system may collapse
429
00:36:25,294 --> 00:36:27,219
'if there are any
other financial scandals.'
430
00:36:27,254 --> 00:36:29,856
Well, this is it, I'm afraid.
431
00:36:29,891 --> 00:36:32,424
I've never really done "home."
432
00:36:32,459 --> 00:36:36,140
The only place I ever liked living
was a squat I shared at the LSE.
433
00:36:37,739 --> 00:36:40,819
Is that where you developed
your taste for Karl Marx? Oh, no,
434
00:36:40,854 --> 00:36:43,464
I knew about him
a long time before that.
435
00:36:43,499 --> 00:36:48,460
My father's real name was Menlasch.
He's Czech.
436
00:36:50,060 --> 00:36:55,379
He smuggled us out of the country
when the Russian tanks moved in.
437
00:36:57,939 --> 00:37:01,779
August 1968.
438
00:37:04,339 --> 00:37:06,225
Now, it's your turn.
439
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:08,019
How did you become who you are,
440
00:37:08,054 --> 00:37:10,384
Jenny Hunter?
441
00:37:10,419 --> 00:37:12,424
My father was an accountant.
442
00:37:12,459 --> 00:37:14,579
It seemed like a sensible option.
443
00:37:14,614 --> 00:37:16,905
Hmm.
444
00:37:16,940 --> 00:37:18,419
But that's not true, is it?
445
00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:29,099
I mean, you're not really sensible,
are you?
446
00:37:29,134 --> 00:37:31,859
How do you know?
There's a look you have.
447
00:37:31,894 --> 00:37:35,859
Oh, I see it from time to time.
448
00:37:35,894 --> 00:37:38,625
It's a look that tells me,
449
00:37:38,660 --> 00:37:43,180
you work inside a system,
but you're not part of it.
450
00:37:43,215 --> 00:37:45,424
Is that how you were, at the LSE?
451
00:37:45,459 --> 00:37:50,379
No, I was a hero,
a genuine relic of the Prague spring.
452
00:37:50,414 --> 00:37:52,185
The campus Trotskyites adored me.
453
00:37:52,220 --> 00:37:55,180
They must have been very
disappointed when you switched sides.
454
00:37:57,899 --> 00:37:59,699
Yeah.
455
00:38:01,420 --> 00:38:05,180
My father used to say that for five
minutes, everything seemed possible.
456
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:08,760
Real freedom,
457
00:38:08,795 --> 00:38:10,985
real equality,
458
00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:14,700
the Socialists' dream
within their grasp.
459
00:38:14,735 --> 00:38:18,380
And then the tanks rolled in.
Yes, they did,
460
00:38:18,415 --> 00:38:20,580
but that's not what broke his heart.
461
00:38:22,179 --> 00:38:27,465
No, that was going back,
after all those years, after...1989,
462
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:33,140
and seeing that the famous liberation
had in some ways made things worse.
463
00:38:34,139 --> 00:38:37,104
McDonalds in Wenceslas Square,
464
00:38:37,139 --> 00:38:40,619
homeless beggars
outside luxury hotels.
465
00:38:40,654 --> 00:38:42,220
That's what killed him.
466
00:38:45,699 --> 00:38:47,980
And that's what drives me now.
467
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:57,939
You never switched sides.
468
00:39:00,699 --> 00:39:02,979
I've spent half my life...
469
00:39:04,580 --> 00:39:08,080
..with people who think
I'm exactly like them,
470
00:39:08,115 --> 00:39:11,580
waiting for the moment
when I can take them down.
471
00:39:13,139 --> 00:39:18,020
How? Tomorrow morning,
I'm going to release information
472
00:39:18,055 --> 00:39:20,904
that will either destroy
the banking system,
473
00:39:20,939 --> 00:39:25,340
or force the British Government to
admit publicly that it is bankrupt.
474
00:39:26,899 --> 00:39:29,064
Either way,
475
00:39:29,099 --> 00:39:33,345
Capitalism will be revealed
as a busted flush.
476
00:39:33,380 --> 00:39:38,579
And the debt-fuelled consumer
nightmare it's created will finally...
477
00:39:40,139 --> 00:39:42,939
..finally come crashing down.
478
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:49,139
So...
479
00:39:52,059 --> 00:39:53,104
Excuse me.
480
00:39:53,139 --> 00:39:57,505
Hello. Where are you?
In my hotel room.
481
00:39:57,540 --> 00:40:03,539
Well, it took me 15 phone calls and a lot of sweeteners,
but I found out who Jenny Hunter's boyfriend is.
482
00:40:03,574 --> 00:40:06,700
His name is Lucas North.
He works for MI5.
483
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:37,299
You're working against me.
484
00:40:38,340 --> 00:40:41,304
Yes, but you're right, Alexis.
485
00:40:41,339 --> 00:40:46,785
The system is rotten, the system
I work in, but am not a part of.
486
00:40:46,820 --> 00:40:51,179
You do know what they did to the last
man who went against me, don't you?
487
00:40:51,214 --> 00:40:54,899
You don't want to harm me, Alexis.
488
00:40:54,934 --> 00:40:56,379
You need me.
489
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:03,904
You need someone on the inside,
490
00:41:03,939 --> 00:41:07,580
to help you to achieve the things
you've been talking about.
491
00:41:16,299 --> 00:41:20,979
Prove to me that I can trust you.
492
00:41:45,740 --> 00:41:50,780
One of Meynell's mafia pals recognised me at
his function. How? Russia. His name's Asa Darlek.
493
00:41:50,815 --> 00:41:54,099
Son of Vanya Darlek. Head of the
biggest crime syndicate in Moscow.
494
00:41:54,134 --> 00:41:57,424
Highland Life owes him and
their pet bank Salma 65 billion.
495
00:41:57,459 --> 00:42:01,580
Denham must have tried to trade his way out
of trouble and got himself into deeper debt.
496
00:42:01,615 --> 00:42:03,664
He turned to Salma
for illicit funding.
497
00:42:03,699 --> 00:42:07,499
Which Meynell knows about and is now
using to bring down the bank. What a mess.
498
00:42:07,534 --> 00:42:10,024
Poor Francis.
499
00:42:10,059 --> 00:42:13,980
How much did you know? Francis
told me he'd found emergency funding.
500
00:42:14,015 --> 00:42:15,864
I had no idea
it was the Russian mafia.
501
00:42:15,899 --> 00:42:20,624
Ten minutes ago,
I had a phone call from Asa Darlek.
502
00:42:20,659 --> 00:42:26,579
If we don't repay the 65 billion that Highland Life
owes Salma, as soon as the markets open tomorrow
503
00:42:26,614 --> 00:42:31,100
he and Meynell will issue a statement
revealing the extent of the bank's debts.
504
00:42:31,135 --> 00:42:35,265
Highland Life's share price
will go through the floor,
505
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:41,740
ruining investors and destroying public confidence
for ever. Our economy will be in tatters.
506
00:42:41,775 --> 00:42:44,497
Your only choice is to come clean
before they do.
507
00:42:44,532 --> 00:42:47,185
Admit to how much trouble
Highland Life is in
508
00:42:47,220 --> 00:42:50,899
but say you'll guarantee every deposit
and mortgage they hold. I can't do that.
509
00:42:50,934 --> 00:42:54,825
If I try anything like that,
I will bankrupt the UK.
510
00:42:54,860 --> 00:43:01,545
Millions of people's lives will be
ruined if our banking system collapses.
511
00:43:01,580 --> 00:43:07,299
Our only hope is that you can find some
way to solve this without paying Salma.
512
00:43:40,700 --> 00:43:43,940
Yes? Where are you?
'Meynell's hotel room.'
513
00:43:43,975 --> 00:43:45,825
Are you all right?
514
00:43:45,860 --> 00:43:49,859
Yup. 'Can we continue with the
operation?' I think so.
515
00:43:49,894 --> 00:43:53,145
'Put every penny you have
into Highland Life.'
516
00:43:53,180 --> 00:43:56,865
And be ready with a statement saying
that you will step up and back the bank.
517
00:43:56,900 --> 00:44:02,699
I'll tell Meynell you're going to do the opposite and
he'll be forced to switch position. It'll ruin him.
518
00:44:08,459 --> 00:44:11,219
I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah.
519
00:44:11,254 --> 00:44:12,460
In the office.
520
00:44:17,619 --> 00:44:19,585
Is she insane? No.
521
00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:21,184
It's a fantastic bluff.
522
00:44:21,219 --> 00:44:22,824
We catch him out and we ruin him.
523
00:44:22,859 --> 00:44:26,139
And you make enough money to rescue
both the bank and all its depositors.
524
00:44:26,174 --> 00:44:29,424
You are suggesting insider trading
to save the British economy?
525
00:44:29,459 --> 00:44:33,899
You've already told us you can't afford to pay
Meynell or come clean and face the consequences.
526
00:44:33,934 --> 00:44:38,224
So, if he trusts Ros, he's ruined.
527
00:44:38,259 --> 00:44:41,459
But if he doesn't,
the country's ruined.
528
00:44:41,494 --> 00:44:44,144
Do you have any other suggestions?
529
00:44:44,179 --> 00:44:47,319
Then I think we have no choice
but to put ourselves in her hands.
530
00:44:47,354 --> 00:44:50,425
The risk is too big... We have
to wait until the markets open.
531
00:44:50,460 --> 00:44:55,379
I suggest you record a public
statement explaining what's happened.
532
00:45:49,820 --> 00:45:52,784
This is Lucas North in Section D.
533
00:45:52,819 --> 00:45:57,860
I'd like everything you've got
under the code name "Palomnik"
534
00:45:57,895 --> 00:46:02,180
or "Pilgrim". Eyes only.
535
00:46:05,660 --> 00:46:07,545
Good morning,
it's six o'clock.
536
00:46:07,580 --> 00:46:11,859
"And we've got a crumbling housing market...
Speculators are driving up commodity prices...
537
00:46:11,894 --> 00:46:14,580
"This is a vicious
downwards spiral."
538
00:46:25,059 --> 00:46:27,424
Not long till the markets open.
Is everything set up?
539
00:46:27,459 --> 00:46:31,580
Ros should be with Meynell in a minute. If he
trusts what she tells him, he'll give his brokers
540
00:46:31,615 --> 00:46:35,139
the orders to switch their position.
Then you can release your statement.
541
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,019
I think I've found a way
of recovering my money.
542
00:46:40,054 --> 00:46:42,699
I've got some information.
543
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:49,299
Just make sure everything's ready.
544
00:46:50,939 --> 00:46:55,299
I don't suppose any of you have thought about what
happens if Ros can't get him to do this? She will.
545
00:46:57,419 --> 00:46:59,859
I got the impression
you could do with a hand.
546
00:47:12,019 --> 00:47:13,899
What's she doing here?
547
00:47:16,979 --> 00:47:19,659
Asa, I'd like you to leave us alone
for a moment.
548
00:47:21,219 --> 00:47:24,659
You know who she is.
You don't need to talk to her.
549
00:47:24,694 --> 00:47:29,019
Just a minute.
Alexis, she's MI5. Please.
550
00:47:29,054 --> 00:47:33,219
No, not this time.
551
00:47:35,219 --> 00:47:37,739
I didn't think you'd come back.
552
00:47:37,774 --> 00:47:40,260
I came to finish what we started...
553
00:47:41,820 --> 00:47:44,700
..to achieve the things
you talked about last night.
554
00:47:46,259 --> 00:47:50,064
What if I still don't trust you?
555
00:47:50,099 --> 00:47:56,179
Well, if your FSB friends gave you my name,
they'll have told you how I joined the service.
556
00:47:56,214 --> 00:47:58,144
How I've always had doubts.
557
00:47:58,179 --> 00:48:01,659
I just thought you had
an appetite for betrayal.
558
00:48:03,859 --> 00:48:07,344
The system's failing, Alexis.
559
00:48:07,379 --> 00:48:09,779
The change you want has to happen.
560
00:48:09,814 --> 00:48:12,099
What's she talking about?
561
00:48:12,134 --> 00:48:14,184
Don't worry, Asa.
562
00:48:14,219 --> 00:48:16,179
You'll get your money.
563
00:48:17,779 --> 00:48:19,499
But I'll get what I want, too.
564
00:48:24,060 --> 00:48:28,700
See, it doesn't really matter
why you're here.
565
00:48:28,735 --> 00:48:31,219
Because I can't lose.
566
00:48:33,779 --> 00:48:36,500
If the Treasury pay out,
then I bankrupt the country.
567
00:48:38,699 --> 00:48:43,179
If they refuse, then I release
information that destroys Highland Life,
568
00:48:43,214 --> 00:48:45,544
taking the British economy with it.
569
00:48:45,579 --> 00:48:49,580
Look, I don't know what you're talking about.
And I don't know what she's talking about.
570
00:48:49,615 --> 00:48:53,424
But I have a business deal here
and I want my money.
571
00:48:53,459 --> 00:48:58,220
You told me that the Treasury would never
refuse, that they would have to pay out.
572
00:48:58,255 --> 00:49:03,899
Whichever way it goes, I guarantee
that you will get your £65 billion!
573
00:49:03,934 --> 00:49:09,145
No, he won't.
Not if MI5 pre-empt you.
574
00:49:09,180 --> 00:49:14,499
Right now, I know you're deep inside Highland
Life because you expect the Treasury to pay out.
575
00:49:14,534 --> 00:49:18,140
But if they release a statement
explaining what happened,
576
00:49:18,175 --> 00:49:20,304
then refuse to,
577
00:49:20,339 --> 00:49:21,780
you'll lose everything.
578
00:49:23,379 --> 00:49:24,825
And they will,
579
00:49:24,860 --> 00:49:27,260
because they have no choice.
580
00:49:28,819 --> 00:49:31,624
You have to switch position, Alexis,
581
00:49:31,659 --> 00:49:37,420
you have to bet against the bank and
expose Highland Life's debts before they do.
582
00:49:44,379 --> 00:49:48,499
Why should I believe you?
I've had enough of these games.
583
00:49:48,534 --> 00:49:54,020
We're going to do this my way.
Call them.
584
00:50:01,939 --> 00:50:03,420
You heard him.
585
00:50:05,139 --> 00:50:06,819
Call MI5.
586
00:50:08,940 --> 00:50:13,939
Five minutes till the markets open.
Hello?
587
00:50:13,974 --> 00:50:16,356
Harry, this is Ros.
588
00:50:16,391 --> 00:50:18,704
Ros, what's going on?
589
00:50:18,739 --> 00:50:21,380
I'm with Alexis Meynell
and Asa Darlek.
590
00:50:22,980 --> 00:50:29,579
I hear you're intending not to pay out and
release a statement letting Highland Life go down.
591
00:50:29,614 --> 00:50:32,979
I thought you might like to know I have
a gun pointing at your officer's head.
592
00:50:34,739 --> 00:50:36,345
If you do that, I will kill her.
593
00:50:36,380 --> 00:50:40,144
Ros, are you there? You have
30 seconds to make your choice.
594
00:50:40,179 --> 00:50:45,540
The money's invested the way you
said. I have to release that statement!
595
00:50:45,575 --> 00:50:48,060
Ros? Ros, can you still hear me?
596
00:50:50,619 --> 00:50:52,179
'Ros, can you hear me?'
597
00:50:55,580 --> 00:51:00,260
You have 15 seconds
to cancel the statement and pay out,
598
00:51:00,295 --> 00:51:02,460
or I will kill your officer.
599
00:51:02,495 --> 00:51:03,939
Ros, are you there?
600
00:51:09,939 --> 00:51:11,879
You have ten seconds.
601
00:51:11,914 --> 00:51:14,126
'Ros, are you there?'
602
00:51:14,161 --> 00:51:16,304
Harry, there is no gun.
603
00:51:16,339 --> 00:51:20,379
Release the statement
because there is no gun.
604
00:51:20,414 --> 00:51:21,740
You little bitch!
605
00:51:23,739 --> 00:51:27,385
Release the statement.
Release it now!
606
00:51:27,420 --> 00:51:30,945
Switch our position,
put everything against the bank!
607
00:51:30,980 --> 00:51:35,739
Sell Highland Life. The Government's abandoning
Highland Life. That's it, you're out of time.
608
00:51:35,774 --> 00:51:37,020
No!
609
00:51:40,019 --> 00:51:43,539
Ros! "Breaking news just in. We're
going to our Westminster studio,
610
00:51:43,574 --> 00:51:46,299
"where the Secretary of State
for the Treasury..."
611
00:51:46,334 --> 00:51:48,865
You all right? Fine.
612
00:51:48,900 --> 00:51:52,300
"The Treasury feels it has no choice
but to offer the Highland Life bank
613
00:51:52,335 --> 00:51:56,019
"all possible financial assistance
and support.
614
00:51:56,054 --> 00:51:58,579
"The bank and its depositors
are safe."
615
00:51:58,614 --> 00:52:00,904
Ros! "So, my message to the public
616
00:52:00,939 --> 00:52:05,979
"is to have confidence in us and
confidence in the Highland Life bank."
617
00:52:06,014 --> 00:52:08,104
Ros!
618
00:52:08,139 --> 00:52:10,299
I'm fine, Harry.
619
00:52:16,019 --> 00:52:19,940
The Highland Life price is rising,
Meynell must have lost everything.
620
00:52:30,699 --> 00:52:32,819
You know this system is rotten.
621
00:52:35,699 --> 00:52:37,340
It has to change.
622
00:52:40,779 --> 00:52:42,819
I have a duty to the British state.
623
00:52:44,379 --> 00:52:47,059
You have a duty
to make things better.
624
00:52:57,980 --> 00:53:01,899
You two should work out more.
625
00:53:06,419 --> 00:53:09,140
I just wanted to protect
what I have. I don't need...
626
00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:14,900
Malcolm. Ros.
627
00:53:14,935 --> 00:53:16,380
Yup?
628
00:53:18,059 --> 00:53:20,259
I need to report something.
629
00:53:21,860 --> 00:53:26,040
I've made a lot of money
out of our operation.
630
00:53:26,075 --> 00:53:30,185
It's insider trading.
I have to give it back.
631
00:53:30,220 --> 00:53:33,540
You've given enough over the years,
Malcolm. Don't you think you deserve it?
632
00:53:33,575 --> 00:53:36,939
No, but... I find dealing
with reports really boring.
633
00:53:41,700 --> 00:53:42,660
Well done.
634
00:53:44,379 --> 00:53:49,739
Going back to Meynell's hotel room without back-up.
I'm not sure many people could have done that.
635
00:53:49,774 --> 00:53:54,579
For a non-existent gun, it made quite
a bang. Has anyone spoken to Jo yet?
636
00:53:54,614 --> 00:53:57,500
No, I'm just about to.
I think I should do it.
637
00:53:58,820 --> 00:54:00,579
That might be best.
638
00:54:40,979 --> 00:54:44,859
Hey. This just arrived for you
from downstairs. Thank you.
639
00:54:44,894 --> 00:54:47,665
Oh, and Ben. Get onto personnel,
640
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:52,260
tell them that Elizabeta Starkova
is no longer to be used as an asset.
641
00:54:52,295 --> 00:54:53,979
Sure.
642
00:55:07,859 --> 00:55:08,979
How are you, Jo?
643
00:55:15,699 --> 00:55:18,625
It's Boscard.
644
00:55:18,660 --> 00:55:21,099
Wherever I go, Boscard's there.
645
00:55:21,134 --> 00:55:23,425
That's impossible.
646
00:55:23,460 --> 00:55:26,145
I need proof of where he is.
647
00:55:26,180 --> 00:55:28,940
I need to know what the Service
did with him.
648
00:55:36,099 --> 00:55:39,779
Adam realised that your memory
of events was imperfect.
649
00:55:39,814 --> 00:55:43,460
He took a decision in the interests
of your recovery.
650
00:55:45,900 --> 00:55:48,264
Who killed him?
651
00:55:48,299 --> 00:55:55,539
You did. The work you and I do
is always going to be tough.
652
00:55:57,100 --> 00:56:00,219
Much tougher than Harry
and Lucas can ever know.
653
00:56:01,779 --> 00:56:06,699
Which is why you and I have to be
much tougher than them to do it.
654
00:56:06,734 --> 00:56:09,380
He raped you, Jo, you killed him.
655
00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:21,060
I'm assuming no-one will ever
find out about this.
656
00:56:21,095 --> 00:56:23,340
It's taken care of.
657
00:56:25,739 --> 00:56:27,300
Thank you for telling me.
658
00:56:38,494 --> 00:56:40,825
Lucas. Come in.
659
00:56:40,860 --> 00:56:44,300
Harry, I was angry last night.
That's understandable.
660
00:56:44,335 --> 00:56:46,504
When I got home, I couldn't sleep.
661
00:56:46,539 --> 00:56:50,425
So I wrote down a few things
and it prompted a memory.
662
00:56:50,460 --> 00:56:54,660
When I was meant to be out cold,
I kept hearing a word repeated,
663
00:56:54,695 --> 00:56:57,104
"Palomnik".
664
00:56:57,139 --> 00:57:00,064
It's Russian for "pilgrim".
665
00:57:00,099 --> 00:57:02,979
I thought it might be the name of an
operation or an asset that betrayed me.
666
00:57:03,014 --> 00:57:07,624
So I checked it out and the only
link seems to be to an MI5 officer.
667
00:57:07,659 --> 00:57:14,139
He was quite senior but he's been
retired for a while. May I see the file?
668
00:57:14,174 --> 00:57:18,099
I think he runs some sort of second
hand shop in South London now.
669
00:57:27,260 --> 00:57:30,980
Harry, you all right?
670
00:57:38,139 --> 00:57:39,780
The old team.
671
00:57:49,220 --> 00:57:52,345
I will expose the identity of
a mole within MI5, a traitor.
672
00:57:52,380 --> 00:57:56,259
I'm stuck with a terrified teenager
while an MI6 renegade runs amok.
673
00:57:56,294 --> 00:57:59,425
You really do live up
to your reputation.
674
00:57:59,460 --> 00:58:01,840
Please tell me nothing's
going to happen to him.
675
00:58:01,875 --> 00:58:04,185
He tried to kill me.
Everything's going to be fine.
676
00:58:04,220 --> 00:58:06,940
It's the possible arrows from within
I'm concerned about.
677
00:58:06,975 --> 00:58:09,660
The world's watching the summit.
I don't want any surprises.
678
00:58:09,695 --> 00:58:11,464
Bringing the Mitchell case in house.
679
00:58:11,499 --> 00:58:14,304
They've listened to every word
we've spoken.
680
00:58:14,339 --> 00:58:17,979
Your choice is relatively simple.
It's me or them.
681
