All language subtitles for the.capture.s02e01.1080p.webrip.x264-skyfire

This program me contains some strong
language and some violent scenes.

I understand you have this drive
to get to the very heart of things.

It's commendable.

Eyewitnesses?

No eyewitnesses,
no sign of the victim.

Shaun Emery, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of assault,

kidnapping, and perverting
the course of justice. What?

Do we know who the victim is?

Hannah Roberts,
human rights specialist.

MoD war crimes, terrorism.

That ain't right.
She got on that bus.

Shaun Emery claims this evidence
is somehow untrue.

This ain't what happened!
None of this happened!

But here at counter-terrorism,
accepting you can rarely see

the whole picture
is part of the job.

Target approaching.
48 Eaton Square.

We're in position, and we do not
have eyes on Shaun Emery.

I can see him.

I think someone's interfering
with our feeds.

Tampering with evidence.

They call it correction when they
take something they don't like

and they change it.

100% photo-real manipulation.

You wouldn't believe your eyes.

They're setting him up,
you know that.

This is the first time I've been
given a role in an op like this.

I never had your fast-track
privileges.

Ma'am, I don't trust these people
one bit,

but Shaun Emery's video
can't be fake.

We've got the body.

Correction turns intelligence
into evidence,

and keeps extremists
off the street.

If Shaun didn't kill Hannah Roberts,
then who did?

Ma'am, she's there.

Hannah Roberts.

The CCTV was doctored,
but not the footage from the bus.

If you knew what was at stake,
you would walk away

and pretend this never happened.

Can you imagine the impact
if correction was fully exposed?

If you hadn't corrupted the file.

I'm sure you make copies.

I can't think of a better way
to turn this problem

into an opportunity.

For what? Her recruitment.

If you join us, you'll learn
how to use correction

as a force for good.

What if I don't?

Do I end up in the boot of a car,
like Hannah Roberts?

You're a Detective Inspector.

Bright girl.

Too bright?

When can I start?

STEADY BEEPING

I was thinking you could say,
"A handful of backbenchers

"isn't enough to cause a rift. It's
barely enough to cause a ripple."

HE SCOFFS

I think that that works if you leave
a gap, like you're reaching for it.

Exactly.

Better cover up,
or there'll be a tribunal.

Yeah. He knows.

Yep, same connection as last time.

Er, electric cars?

ISAAC LAUGHS

We haven't talked about China yet.
I need two more, Daddy.

Erm...
Which tie are you wearing?

Probably the one around my neck.
What's wrong with the tie?

Stripes. Not exactly MOTP.

There's nothing wrong with the tie.
I know.

MOTP? Man of the people.

This was actually a present

It's quicker to say
"man of the people." Daddy.

Look, can we talk about China,
please? I need two more, Daddy.

Ph-Phones? Simone!

One more! All right, Harry.

NEWSREADER: It's the controversial
question dividing Westminster -

could Chinese AI technology
be coming to an airport...

And I can't say anything about China
until I've seen the Xanda pitch.

Agree. Whatever they ask,
keep it safe, neutral.

Probably best to go crucifix in.

Oh. Rhys, is my faith a problem?

I mean, I could renounce
God altogether,

if you think it might poll better?
No, no need.

It's 7:40. They're waiting for you.

Yeah, I just need a moment to pray.

Right. OK.

I'm kidding, for fuck's sake.
Off you go.

NEWSREADER: But can the Chinese
technology giant be trusted

to run state of the art surveillance
at Britain's borders?

Who better to ask than the man
in charge of the Government's

hotly anticipated China research
report, Isaac Turner?

Minister, good morning.

Yes, good morning, Will.
Good morning, Lauren.

Minister, as the man who called
for unity, how does it feel to be

at the centre of a growing rift?

Er, I assume, Lauren, you mean
the debate surrounding

facial recognition.
It's hardly a rift.

30 MPs have accused the China
Research Committee of being

loaded with China sceptics.

Well, as Security Minister,
it's my job to evaluate the risks

of using Chinese-owned technology
in UK border security.

And I can assure you, our
forthcoming report on-on, er...

...the facial recognition,
er, contract

will-will be, er, solely
in-informed by, er...

...unbiased, er, expert...

Solely informed by, er...

NEWS PRESENTERS LAUGH

Shit...!

I-I'm so sorry.

I'm being distracted by a very
persistent six-year-old.

Hello, young man.

Oh, my God.

I take it he's not a member
of the CRC?

No. Not unless it stands
for cheeky, rude something.

Oh, my God. Morning, Harrison.

What's your opinion on the
regulation of Chinese technology?

Can they see me?
A lot of people can see you.

And, brilliantly, you've avoided
answering the question!

A true politician in the making.

No. In fairness, I think Harrison
just wants some help

with his homework. Aw, adorable.

You're looking for one more thing
in the home that uses electricity.

What about a...?

Camera. Camera!

Well, it seems you have your hands
full here, Minister.

No government matter takes
priority over homework.

I think that's a value we all share.

Ma'am. Morning.

I'm, er... I'm glad I caught you.

You know this is odd?

I do.

You are still in mapping?

Yes. That's what I wanted
to speak to you about...

Mapping is on six.

I'm aware.

KEYPAD ENTRY BEEPS

Morning, Nads.

Oat milk cortado, just how
you like it. Seriously?

No. It's petrol station mud,
but it's still warm.

Victim ID?

A Mr Edison Yao.
Chinese national, apparently.

Cleaner found him this morning.

There's a language barrier,
but we've called for a translator.

Eyewitnesses? Got uniform on
every door, asking the question.

CCTV?

We're pulling all footage from
the building, inside and out.

Shall we?

Ma'am.

Can't do "ma'am" AND get the coffee.

I thought he was right next to me.

I was too busy watching. Oh, wait.

It's Mum. I'll call you back.

Did you see it?
I think everyone saw it.

You're famous, Harrison.
I'm not famous.

You're going to be on TV.
Here you go, darling.

I'll call you later. I've got to go.

Harry, that was very sweet.

But you know you're not allowed in
Daddy's office when he's working.

We won't be able to interrupt Daddy
when he's Prime Minister

talking about important things.

I think I WAS talking about
important things. You were.

You were very good,
especially with him.

Maybe I should make a fool
of myself more often.

Can you not?

Hey...

CAMERA CLICKS

Is that paps?
Does anyone really care?

CAMERA CLICKS

HORN TOOTS

ENGINE TURNS OVER

CAMERA CLICKS

Single gunshot fatality.
Victim took one round to the eye,

along with a shower of glass
splinters to the face.

To the eye? The position of the body
and location of the entry wound

suggests the victim was standing by
the door at the time of impact.

He was looking through the peephole.

It's the calibre of the round
that interests me.

Go on. 5.8mm.

A lot smaller than the typical 9mm
and pretty rare in the UK.

In terms of weapon, you could be
looking at a Type 92 QSZ automatic,

but you don't normally find those
outside mainland China.

Coroner's first look puts time
of death just after 7pm.

What else do we know about Mr Yao?
Morning. Morning, ma'am.

Here we go. Hopefully a lot more,
now she's here.

Good morning. DI Latif?

Yeah, I'm DS Flynn.
This way for the witness.

Obviously, she's had a bit of a
shock, but we need the poor woman

to throw some light on the murder
victim, and pronto.

Er... OK.

Hi.

This is targeted. Assassination.

Maybe political or state actors.

What, you want to kick it up?

I'll call SO15.

Erm... Sorry.

This lady doesn't seem to
speak English.

Yeah.

Well, I don't speak Cantonese.

Well, what do you speak?

English.

A few words of Mandarin
from my grandmother.

What kind of translator are you?

Apologies. I got stuck at Selhurst.

Come again? I was told you needed
a Cantonese speaker.

At your service.

So, who are you?
DC Tan, ma'am.

I'm supposed to start
with you today.

Oh, shit...

Sorry, I just, erm...

Ma'am? What is it?

Got the resident's security system
up and running.

It's quite the system.
Bloody hell.

I've heard of home surveillance,

but why monitor feeds
outside the property?

He knew he needed to watch out.

REPORTERS CLAMOUR

Mr Turner, does the name
Victoria Bello mean anything to you?

Victoria Bello from Lagos.

Stay back, please.
Can you stay back?

#HarrisonsHomework trending
number two in the UK.

Who's number one? Taylor Swift.

I think I can live with that.

Can I suggest we, er, carpe diem?

Seize the day.

I know what it means.

How? Deliver the facial
rec report early,

bring forward the announcement.

We'll need to assemble the experts
for a final vote.

Yeah, so do it. Gather the geeks.

Look, let's not imply
I'm ready to vote

before I've even seen the pitch.

So, directly afterwards? Yep.

Hey. Nice to meet you.
How do you do?

Hi, nice to meet you.
How are you?

SHE SPEAKS CANTONESE

Er, he was from Hong Kong.
He had no family in London.

She says he never spoke
about himself,

but she knows he was a scientist.

THEY SPEAK CANTONESE

Computer, she thinks.

She says he was a very
private man, quiet.

Sorry to interrupt.

I found the recordings.

CLEANER CONTINUES TALKING

Doesn't look too happy.

What's he saying?

That's what I'd like to know.

Does Mrs Li have to watch this?

MRS LI GASPS

That's not the weirdest part.

There's no-one there.

MRS LI SPEAKS CANTONESE

What did she say?

Gwai? As in gwai lo?

Even I know that one - white man.

You saw a white man?
No, no, no.

In this context,
gwai doesn't mean white man.

SHE SPEAKS CANTONESE

She says it's a ghost.

Archive all the recordings.

Call SO15.

Expand the CCTV trawl
to a three-mile radius.

Get me a profile on the victim.

And a signed witness statement
from the Woman In Black.

Nads...

Ma'am.

Someone's obviously fucking
with the footage.

You know exactly who we need
to call,

and it ain't Ghostbusters.

November X-ray 7118 is down
on the A111.

Ditto Zulu Mike 9229 on the A105.

Blind spots?

India Golf 3137 has left us with a
0.17km compromise on the City Road.

It's a council unit,
so we can expect repair any time

between now and 2076.
CHUCKLING AROUND ROOM

We've sent an engineer to repair
the unit.

Anything else from the handover?

A lamp went out overnight
on the B116.

Looks good, yeah.
Saving one of those...

Er... Er, a lamp? Correct.

Generate a 24 hour...

We've generated a 24 hour

Good-oh.

I'd like to know when

PHONE BUZZES

DCI Carey.

Xanda Facial Recognition.

The only security system in
the world to identify a human face

with up to 100% accuracy.

Integrating surveillance technology
with artificial intelligence,

Xanda generates 3D modelling for
every individual captured on CCTV,

even if the individual in question
is wearing a face mask.

Xanda's thermal cam measures body
temperature to flag suspicious

behaviour, or to indicate if
a passenger is carrying a virus.

Providing digital surveillance
for airports and urban areas

across the world, Xanda's database
is rich in diversity,

and its AI is ever evolving.

Xanda is committed to recognising
faces from every corner

of the globe with equal precision.

I've called the CRC vote for 3:30.
The Home Sec can meet after 7:00.

So glad you could attend our
presentation, Mr Turner.

Oh, Mr Wanglei,
that was very impressive.

The Xanda executive board
doesn't fly across the world

for every pitch.

I'm curious to hear more
on the racial bias issue.

We don't have a racial bias issue.

Are we allowed to see your data?

Some facial rec systems
are ten times more likely

to falsely ID a black female face
than a white male one.

So, you see our concern.

Xanda's AI is not susceptible
to those failings.

Yet you won't allow the program me
to be independently tested.

HE LAUGHS AWKWARDLY

Mr Turner, I was led to believe
that your China Research Committee

was made up of experts.

Oh, Rhys and Eliza are not
part of the committee,

as I'm sure you're aware. Oh.

So, where...
are these elusive experts?

Might we ever meet them?

We have a duty to protect
their identities.

Leaving us pitching
to an empty room.

It's not empty.

I'm here.

Sometimes it seems to me as if
there are... two Isaac Turners.

On television, you say
you have an open mind,

but in reality, I get the sense
your decision has long been made.

So, which Isaac Turner
should I believe?

I have to assume there's a chance,
Mr Wanglei,

that you're recording this.

So, for the benefit of whatever
listening device you may

have running, what I'm about
to say is my own opinion,

off the record,

and doesn't reflect the views
of the British government.

I don't need a presentation to know
you're the world leaders.

Nobody spies like China.

And perhaps you're confusing us
with the Chinese authorities.

ISAAC LAUGHS DRYLY

You're one and the same.

Don't worry, I don't blame you.
It's not like you have a choice.

What is it?

"The private sector must collaborate
with national intelligence."

It's Chinese law.

So, when Beijing calls and asks you
to look the other way while

their spies slip through airport
security, or orders you to

facially recognise China's political
enemies on British turf...

...what are you going to say?

No?

The use of Chinese AI technology
poses no threat to your safety,

your security, or your way of life.

Yeah, I read the propaganda.

Sorry, press release.

There may even be ministers in
my government naive enough

to believe it. Unfortunately for
you, without my recommendation,

your bid will never reach them.

As long as I'm Security Minister,

Britain's borders won't be
monitored by a storefront

for the People's Republic of China.

It seems we've wasted our time.

If we're as good at spying
as you say we are...

...you might be a little
more careful.

I've got nothing to hide.

Everybody has something.

Erm... DC Tan?

Chloe.

Yeah, I'm...

Sorry about earlier. They said the
translator was on HER way, so I...

I was the Chinese translator.

Is that terrible?
That's terrible, isn't it?

I'm not going to report you.

The doughnuts are on me.

So, now you're buying my silence?

What?

Nadia.

Congrats on the step up.

Likewise.

How's the inner sanctum?

Busy. Hmm.

So, who's your victim?

Chinese national.
Assassinated in his apartment.

You'll need access
to the Chinese embassy,

SIO support to brief the service.

Was he a dissident?

I-I'm not asking you how to
run the case, Rachel.

There's something else.

He had CCTV all over the flat,
inside and out.

Only, the shooters are nowhere
to be seen.

Someone's doctored the CCTV.

That, or we're looking
for a poltergeist.

That's why you called me.

I thought you might have
some... insight.

Why would I?

Oh, I see.

Do we need a sacred code,
or something? Special handshake?

If you want me to take a look
at the footage, send me the...

No way. It's on our turf,
and not SO.

Oh, what, you expect our trust?

You know what, let's just leave it,
Patrick. We've got enough going on.

Remind me. How long did
Shaun Emery get in the end?

Four, wasn't it?

Six.

Six years for an innocent bloke.

I can't do this. I'm sorry.

No, I get it.

Can't beat them, join them, right?

Good afternoon,
distinguished members

of the China Research Committee.

And Gregory.
LAUGHTER AROUND ROOM

I need to deliver this report
ahead of schedule,

so the question is,
how soon can that happen?

I really hope the answer is,
"Today, Isaac."

Today, Isaac.

Hey, one always wants
more time, right?

But thanks to everybody's
invaluable contributions,

and with some last-minute polishing,

I'm confident we can publish today.

Unless anyone has
any dazzling objections?

Er...

Not everybody is present

Right, well, I think
we go ahead, regardless.

his position on China.

VIDEO: Like thousands of visa
applicants, Victoria Bello dreams

of living and working in the UK,
but hers is no ordinary application.

The Lagos-based care worker claims
her three-year-old son's father

is Britain's Security Minister,
Isaac Turner.

Who is this? News Freak.
Just some fringe site.

Makes Buzzfeed look like
The Washington Post.

It's not online. They've just
sent it to us for comment.

OK. Er, here's my comment -

if you publish, we'll sue

OK. So, the Minister
strenuously denies...

No, it's not worthy of denial.

We don't comment on personal

This is them, this is Xanda.

Find out who owns this site.

Guaranteed, they'll be based in
California, funded by Beijing.

OK. Come on, Eliza.
Where are we going?

To show Wanglei we're not afraid.

Er...

Nice work.

Mr Turner.

I'm on rather a tight schedule.

You got more people to defame? Oh.

In light of our previous
conversation, my colleagues

have decided to return to Beijing.

I must escort them to the airport.

What-what is this,
intimidation, or...?

Oh, you don't know what
I'm talking about?

HE SPEAKS MANDARIN

THEY LAUGH

You can fake as much news
as you want,

but if you think you can meddle
in UK government policy,

you're sorely mistaken.

If we wanted to meddle, Mr Turner,

do you think this is the best
we can do?

Excuse me.

Ma'am.
I tried to call, and email.

I'll start to think you're
stalking me. I've got something.

It's with homicide,
a targeted killing.

The CCTV threw up some... concerns.

Our kind of concerns.

I don't know if it crosses
any of our ops, but...

Pass on the details.
I'll assign someone to take a look.

Ma'am, I was hoping
I could take a look.

You'd need clearance
for the seventh floor.

I realise that. This is what I...

Besides, you're in mapping.
Who'd run mapping?

Mapping runs itself.

Don't be modest.

The department needs someone
with your diligence.

It's a badge of hon our, you know.

Edison Yao returns home at 6:55pm.

The next event isn't until
33 minutes later,

when a delivery driver enters
the building at 7:28pm.

28 minutes after the attack.

We've trawled every angle.
No-one enters the building

between the victim's arrival
and time of attack.

Expand the time frame.

Keep looking.

If the shooters can scrub themselves
out on Edison Yao's camera,

they can hack street CCTV.

We can't keep this from SO15
any longer.

You're going to have to swallow
your pride and give them primacy.

Pride?

As soon as they get their claws into
this, it'll be their case, not ours.

And if we can't trust Rachel Carey,
then who?

Your other friend, the spook?

Not going to let me forget it,
are you?

What, turning a blind eye
to evidence tampering,

and then taking a promotion?

Victim profile, ma'am.

His records only go back as far
as 2017, when he entered the UK.

Before that, it's a blank.

I'm guessing Edison Yao
is a new identity.

He may have been a...

Chinese dissident. Yes, I know.

Phone downloads says last activity
was an attempted call at 6:59pm.

Bang on the time of attack.

Maybe he was trying to warn someone.

Caller ID?

Saved on the phone as "Knox".
It's ringing out.

Gregory Knox.
He's some kind of data analyst.

Office in EC1.

I'm on it.

HE PANTS

She's got me in mapping.

I've been promoted to DCI. She's got
me on a fucking light bulb duty.

It's a crucial part of the process.

If seventh floor don't have an
up-to-date comprehensive picture

of the CCTV map,
they can't do their jobs.

But Garland's keeping me there
because she doesn't trust me.

Still.

Not trusting people is sort of
their stock in trade.

Look, I signed up to be
part of this.

To run ops using correction.
To work with the best of the best.

I haven't even got clearance to
the program me I'm supposed to be

working on. It's not right.

Look, Rachel, we should move...
Sorry, I just...

Who else can I speak to?

How are you sleeping?

No worse than usual. Why?

Well...

You know what they say in Russia...

...the less you know,
the better you sleep.

You must be up all night.

I'm looking for Gregory Knox.

Which company?

Homicide and serious crime.

I meant, which company is he from?

Er, Truro Analytics.

Truro's on the tenth,
but I think they all left.

Can you give him a call?

I need to hand over. Sorry.

Er, he hasn't swiped out,
so he's still in the building.

Tenth floor, you say?
Yeah, but you need a pass.

What, for an urgent police matter?

Yeah. I'd ask my managers,
but they've all gone home.

Yeah, don't worry yourself.

Time's gone by a police badge
would've got you somewhere.

You're conducting an investigation?

Just trying to find a bloke.

Gregory Knox, Truro.

If the gentleman is not at his desk,
try the sleeping pods.

Sleeping pods?

This one's jealous.

It wasn't... It wasn't staged.

Oh. No, nothing for me.
I can't stay.

More television appearances?

Home Secretary, that's actually
what I wanted to catch you about.

I'm delivering the CRC report early.

So, there's a copy sitting
on your desk,

but just in case you fancy
a little fireside reading.

Let me guess.

As a Chinese-owned company,
Xanda Facial Rec are bound by law

to assist Beijing in matters
of national security.

Furthermore, their lack of
transparency does nothing

to reassure us their AI has been
tested against racial bias.

In conclusion, we find diddly squat
to support the claim

that Xanda Facial Rec poses
no threat to our safety,

our security, or our way of life.

Then it seems I didn't need
a committee of experts.

I could have just come here
for a drink. Nonsense.

Setting up committees to determine
things we already know

is what we do best.
HE LAUGHS

So, I trust the PM will take
my recommendation

and find an alternative
facial rec provider?

Well, he'd be a fool not to.

Oh, wait.

ISAAC LAUGHS

OK, well, I'd like to announce
this evening.

There's a slot on Newsnight.
Why the rush?

Er, Xanda are being...
not intimidating, but...

Intimidating?

I said NOT intimidating.

Is everything all right, mate?
Anything I should know about?

No, nothing. It's just, I...

I feel the sooner we announce,
the stronger message we send.

Good plan. Make it happen.

Oh, unless comms has

I'll give Newsnight a ring.

My team can call the BBC.

You're forgetting, McKenzie,
Zac's a top booking.

Home Secretary. Zac.

SILENCED GUNSHOT

Urgent assistance.
Truro Analytics, Spencer Square.

I need a PLATO response.

Shots fired. Repeat, shots fired.

Gregory Knox?

DS Flynn, homicide.

There are armed intruders
in the building.

I need you to follow me,
quickly and quietly.

Well, what do you mean?

Now!

What the hell is it? Is it...
Is it a terrorist?

How well do you know this building?

I-I... I just come here to work.

Looked like you were hard at it.

Is there a fire door
at the bottom of this?

I-I... I think so.

Let's go.

What now?
Just keep moving.

Shall we try to hide?

No point.

They know exactly where we are.

Fucking stupid CCTV...!

Now we can hide.

Pick a door. Any door that opens.

They're going to find us...
Bollocks they will.

Armed unit should be here
any second.

Soon as they hear the blues
and twos,

they'll them shit themselves
and run.

Here. Get in.

SILENCED GUNSHOTS

PHONE BUZZES

Carey.

Full support from the Home Secretary
and comms. Excellent.

Now, put me on Newsnight.
I'll get the BBC to send transport.

Actually, you know what, I can be
home in an hour and a half.

I'll do it from there. Oh, of
course, the famous home studio.

Isaac Turner?

Mr Knox was the second target
from the CRC.

All members may be at risk.
Well, what about my family?

We've sent protection officers
directly to your home address.

And who are the suspects?

We'll give you a full briefing
en route to the safe house.

Nadia! Nadia.

They're operating on him.

He's got a collapsed lung and
a second chest wound, critical.

Why was he alone?

Fuck you. It was a routine inquiry.

And if you cared so much, you could
have helped when we asked you.

This has gotten way out of hand.

Let me run the case out of SO15.
We'll get the scum who did this...

That's not necessary.
I've already made the call.

You need a higher ranking SIO.

Will detective superintendent
suffice?

Ma'am.

Thank you for bringing this to
my attention, both of you,

in your own different ways.
The witness?

Mr Knox is in the waiting room.

In shock, but he's recovering.

DC Tan, ma'am.

Pleased to meet you.

He said he can't get a visual
on the suspects,

and they were gone before
the ARVs arrived.

He said it sounded like
two assailants, maybe more.

No eyewitnesses. The suspects have
been scrubbed from the CCTV,

just like with Edison Yao.
Patrick must have seen them.

Chest shot at close range,
you would have got a good look.

And when he is able,
DS Flynn will give us a statement.

Makes him a witness.
He'll need protection.

You'll be telling us he needs
to see a doctor next.

What's the status with
the committee?

As instructed, ma'am, we've got
all members in transit,

including Isaac Turner.

Contained and controlled.
Isaac Turner, the MP?

Er, Rachel. Please.

DI Latif, with me.

He's still in a critical condition,

but you should be able to go
and see him soon.

It's Yvonne, isn't it?

I'm Rachel. I...

I ran a big case with Patrick
in homicide, so I...

I know what a bloody good bloke
he is.

I don't want to intrude.
I just, erm...

If there's anything I can do.

You can get the bastard who did it.

Yes, it must be them.

They finally got to Edison,
the poor bastard,

and now they've gone after Gregory.

Yeah, I told these detectives

exactly who they should be
looking for.

Mr Knox.

The protection unit are here to
transfer you to a safe location.

How... how is he? He protected me.

He... he saved my life.

Sweetie, we're going to go.

Come on, babe.

MONITORS BEEP

DOOR SHUTS

Isaac?

Yeah, don't worry about me, Eliza.
I've got my own armed militia.

Isaac Turner?
I'm DSU Gemma Garland, SO15.

Yes, I'm on the phone.

One second.

Call Rhys and tell him we're doing
Newsnight remotely.

Right, OK. Yeah?
Yeah. Speak later.

Sorry to disturb, Minister.
It's just a matter of your

personal safety. I must ask you
to turn off your phone.

Yes, I'm going to need a laptop
with a decent web cam,

something built in
the last three years,

and somewhere I can sit
and give an interview.

I'm afraid that's out of
the question.

Patrick.

You better fucking wake up.

We need you.

I need you.

No, I haven't joined them,
you big bloody idiot.

I am trying to beat them.

And they are watching me
day and fucking night.

I've still got the CC...
DOOR OPENS

What do you want?

I'm sorry.

I just thought I'd say a prayer
for DS Flynn.

You two must have been close.
I was his DI.

I know who you are.

You led the show on every manhunt.

Operation Sycamore, too.

I'm on the fast track scheme myself.

We get to study past cases...
I thought you came to pray.

It's an expression.

What's the status on Turner?

All assets are either in transit,

with protection at their home
address or in safe houses.

What's the link between the assets?

You're not actually on
this investigation.

I'm supporting it.

What does that mean?

It means my friend has been shot,

and I want to make sure
he gets justice.

Do you really think
they'll try again tonight?

We have to assume an ongoing threat.

But no-one's going to get you here.

Don't suppose there's a drop
of brandy in the cupboard?

Edison Yao, Gregory Knox,
Isaac Turner -

they're all on the
China Research Committee.

The suspects are trying to target
the entire group.

It's possible. You have to assume
any one of them could be next.

As soon as we made the link, DSU
Garland put the whole lot under lockdown.

Shot through the eye.

It's weird.

The victim was standing at his front
door looking through the peephole.

I'm thinking maybe the gunman saw
his shadow under the door.

But judging by Yao's CCTV,
the light in the apartment

wouldn't have made
a very visible shadow.

How many assets have been placed
in safe houses?

You could be walking into a trap.

Whoever's behind this knows exactly
what they're doing.

If they can scrub CCTV,
they can monitor it.

They're probably watching your
every move. For all we know,

the safe houses are exactly where
they want us to take these people.

How can they target them at
a safe house?

It's a house, Nadia,
not a nuclear bunker.

Where's Garland? With the MP.

Where?

You want me to disclose the location
of a safe house over the phone?

Well, where are you, then?

We have all seven members
of the CRC housed.

DOOR SHUTS
Update me every 30 minutes.

Ma'am.
What the hell's going on?

Sorry, ma'am, but I think you should
listen to DCI Carey.

Whoever's doing this may have
wanted to drive the assets

into police protection.

For what possible reason?
To turn them into sitting ducks.

You think the secure locations
have been compromised?

Given the risk, I'd suggest deploying
a decoy strategy immediately, yes.

Sorry, what's the problem?

There's no problem.
I heard "decoy strategy."

It would involve moving you
to a second property.

Why, what's wrong with this one?
Nothing.

This property was selected using
specialist operation protocols,

with highly vetted firearms officers
guarding each access point.

Yes. And what do you think?

The manner of Edison Yao's shooting
suggests the gunman

had eyes inside the property
without entering it,

and given he had installed
a home CCTV network...

His cameras were hacked.

I'm aware of the working assessment
of the case.

You're saying they can see us now?
Absolutely not.

The security cameras in this
property run on an isolated network

installed and protected by GCHQ.

I'm sure that makes them
China-proof.

Minister.

I have personally led
security service protection

for two royal weddings
and nine state visits.

The surveillance in this property,
like the entire operation,

is China-proof, Russia-proof,
and, I dare say, Martian-proof.

The only entity that has proved
itself capable of compromising

the safe house, remarkably, appears
to be Detective Carey herself.

A serious breach for which
both parties responsible

will be reprimanded.

I assure you...

...you're quite safe here, Minister.

It...

It's something else, then. If it's
not threat to life, there's a...

There's a reason they wanted you...
Rachel, let's just...

Well, they shoot Edison Yao
at 7pm...

THEY BICKER

TV: In a moment, I'll be speaking
live to the minister in charge

of the report, Isaac Turner.

Oh, fuck!

Er, I... I need my phone.
Government business.

Mr Turner, your phone is
a security risk. OK, any phone.

I need to call the BBC. They still
think I'm going on tonight.

Apparently, no-one on my staff
thought to... tell them...

TV: Well, I'm now joined by
Home Office Security Minister

Isaac Turner. Good evening.

Good evening, Khadija.

Would Xanda Facial Recognition make
Britain more safe or less?

Well, the Government's official
announcement regarding

the UK borders contract will be made
within a matter of days.

With respect, Minister,
that's not what I asked.

NADIA: This is a recording, right?

The China Research Committee
has concluded its report,

and I've delivered my recommendation
to the Home Secretary.

Wh-what... What's happening?

Obviously, the Prime Minister
has the final say.

But I'm confident he'll make
the right decision.

And what is the right decision,
according to you?

This is it.

The reason they wanted you here.

Minister?

Well, we made a promise to keep
Britain's borders safe.

The safest system is the most
accurate system.

So, I believe the right decision

is to award the UK borders contract
to Xanda Facial Recognition.

Not long ago, you were quoted as
saying that outsourcing UK

surveillance to China was like
handing a British radar contract

to Germany in 1939.

I've done my research,
and I've found no evidence

of a link between Xanda
and the Chinese authorities.

As Britain's Security Minister,

I fully support
the CRC's conclusion.

The use of Chinese AI technology
poses no threat to our safety,

our security, or our way of life.
