So what
made you decide to leave,

come to Moscow?

Because I'm fed up
with lying to the public

about what's really going on
at GCHQ where I work.

I've done
50 years of service

and I've had enough.

It's time for me to stand up
and say my piece.

...and I've had enough.

It's time for me to stand up
and say my piece.

And what is that?

You were friends,
weren't you?

Hi. Sorry?

You were friends.

Yeah.

At least I thought so.

So what are you looking for?

I don't know.

A clue, anything.

I just can't believe
he'd do this to us.

"Us."

He goes missing
at the same time

as the biggest leak
in intelligence history.

He turns up in Moscow
and admits it
on Russian television.

I'd have thought that
was enough evidence,

even for you.

You mean I should
get back to work.

That's OK, Saara.

I think we all gave up hope
a while back

of you ever actually doing
any work around here.

Don't people hate having
their grammar corrected?

I mean, doesn't it just
make everyone hate you?

If we wrote code
as sloppily as we write English,
it would never run.

Some things have to be right.

Is that all you're having?

I'm Muslim.

They don't have
anything halal here.

...they won't be very welcoming.

-What's funny?

No different to any other
department here then?

Different "from"
any other department.

It's "different from,
compared with."

No different "from"
any other department.

It's "different from,
compared with."

Different from, compared with.

Different from, compared with.

Different from, compared with.

Different from, compared with.

Different from, compared with.

Different from, compared with.

Different from, compared with.

...because I'm fed up
with lying to the public

about what's really going on
at GCHQ where I work.

I've done...

...stand up and say my piece.

And what is that?

That we are no different
to what we're always
accusing you lot of.

-Yes!
-What is it?

He said "different to."

He would never say
"different to." He would
never make that mistake.

It can't be him.

What? Saara, wait.

Where is he?

Danny's on his way
to London, Saara.

Shit!

Kathy?

She's not here.

Where is she?

-She's gone.
-What do you mean gone?

What did you say to her?

I didn't say anything.
I came back and she was packing.

She's been recalled
to Maryland.

Er...

She flew about 25 minutes ago.
She left you this.

What's going on, Saara?

And don't lie to me
this time.

You're in love with her,
aren't you?

Don't lie, please.

I don't know.

Maybe.

Have you made love here?

Yes.

OK.

Where does that leave us?

Do you still love me?

Did you ever really
love me?

Don't go, James, please.
I'm sorry.

I know you just lost your dad...

and I know you're upset,

and I know you say
you can't deal
with your emotions.

I've tried to make allowances,

I really have.

But when you crash
into people's lives,
people get hurt.

People who care about you.
People who love you.

Just try and think about that?

Fuck.

Ah, Mark, welcome.

Sorry, I'm late.

It's fine.

I'm sure I don't need
to tell you the effect
of the Yeabsley leak is...

devastating.

Most of our tools
have been rendered nugatory

and will have to be
built again from scratch.

Our priority now
is to keep what little
we do have left secure.

As of 2000 hours today,
Eastern Time,

the NSA's intelligence-sharing
arrangement with the UK
is withdrawn.

For the foreseeable future.

Er, Mark...

It signals cooperation
between our two countries,

it goes back 75 years
and it plays a vital...

This decision comes from
the commander-in-chief
personally

and is not open for discussion.

The question we're all
asking ourselves here is

why the hell you re-employed
a loose cannon

like John Yeabsley
in the first place?

-Hi.
-You all right?

Where do you want me, Sarge?

Er, get yourself round the back.

Make sure no press are trying
to get in through the garden.

Hey.

You're gonna need a mask, Sandy.

Oh, I'm just going straight
through, thank you.

Hiya.

Sorry. Thanks.

James, it's me again.

Please call me back.
I know you're angry.

We need to talk.

Come on!

...GCHQ Intelligence Analyst,
John Yeabsley,

seen yesterday on Russian TV

admitting responsibility
for a massive leak
of GCHQ secrets

could not have been in Moscow
yesterday. Back to Dan.

-Yes!
-That's right, Alan...

Yes, yes, yes! I knew it!

...in light of what the police
are saying here tonight,

the interview shown yesterday
on Russian TV seems likely now

somehow to have been faked.

As he was clearly already dead,
here in Cheltenham,

when he was supposedly
being taped in Moscow.

Oh, dear...

A mountain of code.

Perhaps it will make you,
er, check your assumptions.

Remember the Nigerian prince.

If you find yourself scouring
through thousands
and thousands of lines of code,

that's probably exactly what
they're expecting you to do.

Don't.

Do something else,

unexpected.

You have to think
outside the box.

If you can't, then you have to
find someone who can.

Should I offer to help?

Oh, no, she doesn't
need any help.

She knows exactly
where everything is.

Don't you, dear?

It's the first time
we've had one of Gabe's
work friends to visit.

Isn't it, Gabe?

We'd almost given up hope.

Sorry?

He was turned down by so many
employers before GCHQ.

We moved here
so we could look after him.

He can't live alone, obviously.

I know you said you didn't want
to help me any more

-but I'm in trouble.
-What kind of trouble?

What I'm saying is...

I've got GCHQ into trouble.

OK, what I mean is...

I didn't realise
I was being used.

I think there's a third-stage
malware, Gabriel,

hidden inside the code.

I need to find it.

Someone tried to warn me
about it, that it was
really dangerous,

but it's only now I think
I know what he meant.

-Who warned you?
-That's not important now.

There's been a massive leak
of data from GCHQ, right?

Incredibly damaging?

I think that's what
the third stage does.

I think there's some hidden part
of the original malware

that was built
to steal our data.

But I can't find it.

I've been back through the code
line by line. There's nothing.

That's the puzzle, Gabriel.

-I'm asking if you'd...
-It's OK, Saara. I get it.

Where are you going, Gabe?

Sorry.

But what about the curfew?

-It's obfuscated.
You don't need to...
-Wait.

I was just trying to say you
don't need to waste time on it.

The original code's obfuscated.

They included all this garbage
so that anti-virus software

wouldn't recognise it
as malware.

How many lines of garbage?

I don't know, thousands.

We stripped them out
so we could work on it.

Tea?

Before you stripped them out,
you tried to get it
to run in a sandbox.

That's right. How did you know?

What happened?

Nothing. It didn't run.

-They designed it so that it...
-Oh, I think it did.

It didn't, Gabriel.
I tried it again and again.

It just sat there.

I watched. Nothing happened.

You need to learn
to look at the garbage
in a different way.

It's all about patterns.

Finding the code,
hidden within the garbage.

But in this case...

it's more complicated
than normal.

Usually, there'd be
one character of code,

and, say,
five characters of garbage.

In that case, you just need
to write a script to read
one character in six.

So you're saying
it's not all garbage?

Then...

...there's where
the number of real code
and garbage characters vary

according to a regular pattern.

Say, one in four, then one
in three, then one in two
and back up again.

And that's what
we've got here in the BT code?

No.

This is more complicated.

Here, there's no simple pattern.

The code characters
and garbage characters

vary according to an algorithm.

So, we can't extract
the hidden code unless
we know the algorithm?

Oh, I've worked out
the algorithm.
That's what took me the time.

There's your third stage.

Hidden inside of what you
thought was just garbage.

That's a data scraper.
That's how it mined our files.

That must be the MAC address
of your sandbox.

That's how it broke out
into our system.

-- It can't be.
-- Yes, I think so.

But how could they
possibly know that?

A MAC address
is like a fingerprint.

How could someone in Russia
know the address

of a particular computer
at GCHQ? It's impossible.

No, it's obvious.

Obvious? How?

Someone must have told them.

OK, even if that is true,

it doesn't explain
how they got the data out.

This malware
doesn't communicate.

It exfiltrates as email.

The data goes out
as attachments.

The emails get lost in the flood
of all our other email traffic.

No one notices.

They've moved on from NSA
exploits, by the way.

Now they're taking
our own stuff.

What?

Your emails
are still going out.

What?

They must know what we're doing.

Every time I cut a link to a
domain, they set up a new one.

We're losing
a massive amount of data

every second.

The scraper you found
in the garbage.

Can you can shut it down,
stop all this at source?

Of course.

Then do it!

Please.

-Is that it?
-Yes.

You've stopped it?

Of course. Why do you
sound so surprised?

You're brilliant.

I owe you an apology.

You're right, you do.

I'm sorry.

What you did last night
was amazing.

...as well as in Bradford,
the central Mosque in Southall

was fire-bombed while a service
was taking place.

A spokesperson for
the Muslim Council of Britain
blamed the attack,

one of dozens reported
in the last 36 hours,

on the breakdown in public
order in the aftermath of
the disputed election...

What is it?

They're attacking mosques again.

My brother works at a mosque
in Swindon.

Well, you should go.

We read about it everyday
in the papers and on our phones,

we hear about it on the radio,

we speak about it every morning
with our neighbours...

we watch it every night
on the TV news.

And of course, when they're
attacking us in the streets,

when they're burning
our mosques,

we want to strike back.

Why wouldn't we?

It's only human.

It sounds easy,
brothers and sisters,

as do all the words of Shaytan.

He speaks to us
when we're angry.

He fans the flames of our
completely reasonable anger

which comes from fear

and the desire
to protect those we love.

But we don't protect them,
brothers and sisters,

by meeting violence
with violence.

Violence only breeds more
violence, more hatred.

We hit back
and they hit us again,

even harder.

The way of Allah,
Subhanahu wa-ta'ala,

is the harder way,
the more courageous way.

The voice of Shaytan
rages in our ears, blasting out
all other sound.

You will hear
the voice of Allah,
Subhanahu wa-ta'ala,

when you are quiet,

when you are at rest,

when you are at peace.

Saj?

Hello, sir.

-Shut the door.
-Yeah.

What is it?

I've just been speaking
to the Prime Minister.

Apparently, MI5's found
some compromising material

...on the Foreign Secretary's
laptop.

What kind of material?

I'm not sure. They're sending it
over, the laptop.

Inappropriate communications
with someone inside

-the Russian government,
that's all I've been told.

"Highly prejudicial
to national security."

For fuck's sake.

Surely even they must know
that's a Russian plant?

I don't know.
It looks authentic, apparently.

None of the usual signs
of crashing around
inside a computer.

If it's a plant,
it's a clever one,

hard to prove.

Anyway, she's had to resign.

We're being played, aren't we?

Have been. At every stage.

Yeah. Yeah.

And very convenient that
we should lose
our best friend in government

at this precise moment.

Secretary of State for Defence.

I said
after the BT attack that
if we didn't respond robustly,

we'd be hit again
and we have been.

Our election has been undermined
and our most sensitive
secrets stolen.

By any measure, this constitutes
the cyber equivalent

of an armed attack
on the United Kingdom.

An act of war.

Head of Operations, GCHQ.

I'm not...

disagreeing that a strong
response is required

but you should be aware
that if you decide upon

a symmetric cyber-attack,

it will be highly escalatory.

Truth is they've been
one step ahead of us,

provoking us,

anticipating how we'll react
at every stage.

It's vital that we do not
react as expected now.

We should be careful
of empty gestures that
have profound consequences.

Empty gestures?

Yes. Especially if there are
other motives for doing it.

What other motives?

Can I speak frankly?

Of course.

To shore up the position
of a government

whose legitimacy
has been questioned.

-To distract attention.

Is that what you think
is going on here?

With the greatest respect
to our colleague from GCHQ,
Prime Minister,

that is a completely
outrageous suggestion.

This country has either
faced an attack amounting
to an act of war or it hasn't.

And if it has,

it is our duty as the properly
constituted government
to respond.

It's nothing to do with
legitimacy or any other
political considerations.

Can I just remind us
that the then Attorney General

made our red lines
absolutely clear
in his 2018 speech.

Use of cyber to manipulate
the electoral system

explicitly constitutes
an intervention
in our domestic affairs.

If, after that speech,
we do nothing,

we are basically saying
it's OK to just
roll your tanks into London.

Yes, I see your point.

Of course, if we retaliate,
we might expose
some of the things

we ourselves are doing,

within Russia's critical
national infrastructure.

Which would leave us
open to the accusation
of double standards.

But if that is the way
you wish to go,

Prime Minister, Danny can
lay out some further options.

We don't need your options.

The army will be taking
the lead this time.

Good luck with that.

What was that?

Nothing.

Good, because Russia
has effectively declared war
on this country.

And, we, those of us
around this table

are charged with
the defence of this nation.

I require your support to do so.

David.

I'm sending you a team
from the National Cyber Force.

I want you to build them
an attack, targeting
the Russian arms industry.

And I want it done today.
Can you do that?

Put them out of action?

We can certainly try.

It's time to show us
what we've been paying for
at GCHQ.

All this money we've spent,

it's time to show us
what you can do.

I'm sorry, Saj.

You were right.

I should've thought
more carefully before
I took the job at GCHQ.

About the consequences
for our family.

I over-reacted.

No, you didn't.

You were right.

I shouldn't have gone there.

I've made a mistake. At work.

What mistake?

I suppose you can't say?

I did something...

I thought was really clever.

But it wasn't.

It was incredibly stupid
and gullible.

And it's allowed something
terrible to happen.

Are you sure?

Because you always think
everything's your fault.

You have no idea.

Anyway, Dad was my fault.

What? How is that your fault?

He killed himself.

He killed himself because
I went away to uni and left him.

-No, Saar...
-He did.

-I abandoned him.
-No, that's not
what happened, Saar.

-Yeah, he killed himself.
-He didn't kill himself.

I mean sorry to ruin this
"I'm to blame
for everything" thing

you've got going, but no,

he didn't kill himself.

If you'd come home,
you'd know that.

It was an accident.

A signalman made a mistake.

He sent a goods train
up a line that was supposed
to be out of service.

Dad took a short cut
across the track
and the train hit him.

It wasn't suicide.

You're just saying that
because suicide is haram.

No, I swear on Mum's life.

That's what happened.

You may have
behaved like a shit
not coming to see him

but he didn't commit suicide.

I liked your sermon.

Thanks.

I mean, I... I agreed with...
I agreed with
everything you said.

Do you think I should resign?

Oh.

That's up to you,

but we'd be losing the last
real voice of moderation
around the table.

There'd be nobody left
to protect the staff.

Well, what about you?

Me?

They'd sack me 15 seconds
after you're out the door.

Sorry, they're ready.

They're ready.

Um,

I told Barbara to take the kids
and go and stay
with her parents in France.

-You're joking.
-No, absolutely not.

Well, it's not that bad, is it?

I don't know.
But I'm pretty sure this,
us attacking them,

it's exactly what
they want us to do.

You have to ask yourself why.

Do you think
I should get Freddie out?

Maybe.

Ready, boss.

OK, what happens now?

You stand aside
and we press the button.

That way it's covered
by the "rules of war"

and you don't end up
in the Hague.

OK, Finn. Up you get.

Control-E.

How long will it take
to have an effect?

No time at all.

It's happening now.

Is this real?

Real? I doubt it.

Danny?
Can I have a word with you?

-What is it?
-A private word.

-What is it?
-Our comms are down.

-Sorry?
-All our comms are down.

I wanted to speak to you
out here because I didn't
want to create a panic.

-What, just army comms...
-To be honest, we're not sure.

I managed to get through
to the MOD
on one of your landlines.

They're requesting that GCHQ
help re-establish contact.

-With...
-With UK Armed Forces.

Sorry, Danny.

The Defence Secretary
is on the line.

Which channel?

No, I mean he's actually
on the line. He's on the phone.

Richard. We've just heard.

Heard what?

About your loss of comms.

Not that.
The nuclear submarine
control system is unresponsive.

It may have been hacked.

What?

Are you...
Are you absolutely sure?

Richard?

Richard?

If there's anything
still working around here,

try and get me NSA
up on the satellite...

-...on this one.
-OK.

I've decided to leave.

GCHQ.

OK.

But if you've made a mess,

don't leave before
you've cleared it up.

You should never leave
someone else to clear up
your mess, Saar.

Mitch.

Danny.

Look, I know you guys aren't
talking to us at the moment

but I thought you should know
somebody just hacked

our nuclear submarine
control system.

What? You're kidding?

Plus all of our military
comms are down.

The Russians have just spent
the last two hours

exaggerating the effect
of a very targeted attack

on a couple of arms factories
to make

whatever it is they're doing
look like self-defence.

And my guess is, they've been
planning this for a long time.

Yeah, the problem is we're
seeing those images of
hospital fires too, Danny...

Yeah, they're fakes, Mitch.

-Well, they look
pretty real to us.

I've gotta tell you,

there's not a lot of warm
feelings towards you guys
here at the moment.

We really could do
with some help right now, Mitch.

You can't use that in here.

You can't use that here.
Turn it off, now.

OK, but I've got to
write this down.

Have you got any paper?

Saara, wait.

I've got nothing to say to you.

Please.

I think you're
about to be attacked.

The UK.

I've got something to give you
that will stop it.

I don't believe you, Vadim.

It's just another provocation.

Anyway, I thought you said in
Harrogate they'd kill you.

I don't care any more.

I don't care what happens to me.

This is too important.

Look at this.

What is that?

It's you. At your desk in GCHQ.

OK, you hacked the CCTV.

So what? What does that prove?

Saara, please.
There isn't much time.

You have to trust me. You have
to think outside the box.

What? What did you say?

JSSO's showing unidentified
aircraft entering our airspace.

None of the other systems
are showing it

and the RAF doesn't seem
to have been scrambled yet.

But it is possible
we are under attack.

It's just another hack,
isn't it? Fake news?

But what if it's real
this time, you know,
like crying wolf?

How can we take that chance?

-What, an invasion?
-Why not?

We've been underestimating
Putin for ten years.

All the way through
we've been asking
what's the bigger picture.

The one thing we've never
considered is that
he might just be insane enough

to have territorial ambitions.

What if this whole thing is
about separating us from Europe

and the Americans so that
when this moment came,
we'd be alone?

Not now, Saara.

Danny, you absolutely
have to come and see this.
Right now!

It's the CCTV, so what?
Saara, I don't have time
for this.

You have to turn it off.

Please.

I can't show you
what I've got to show you
until you turn it off.

Shut down the CCTV.

Really?

Yeah. Do it.

They hacked the system.

The FSB were watching
everything we're doing.

They can't. It's air-gapped.
How do you know?

Because I've just been
inside their computer.

I'm sending you something now.
Two things.

You can use them to trade
with the Americans,

to bring them back in.

As soon as that happens,
Putin will back down.

During this first phase,

we are degrading the capability
and resolve of our enemy

as well as discrediting

his institutions
and leadership with espionage,

assassination, er, manipulation
of social media,

cyber attacks,
faking of imagery...

all with the aim
of creating disillusionment,

confusion and chaos.

Er, by the time
war is openly declared,

-the enemy's ability
to defend himself...
-War?

-- ...will be
significantly reduced...
-- Danny?

-We're receiving a data dump.
-Where from?

Russia.

-In the next phase,
we engineer...
-OK, let's go.

...er, our enemy's
strategic situation.

His, er, relationships
with his allies are fatally
undermined, one by one.

It's mostly code.
There's terabytes of it.

I think it's the FSB's
offensive cyber exploits.

My God!

This puts us back in the game.

So how is all this
to be achieved?

How do you ensure
that, er, the final phase,
the war is won?

The war is won using a technique
called Reflexive Control.

This is, er, the...

Predetermining the enemy's
behaviour in Russia's favour.

We define
our ultimate objective...

We define our ultimate
objective, the total defeat
of our enemy.
