You are not acting
in the interests of this service!
I AM the interests of this service!

What's Carter doing here?! I drafted
him in. You know his reputation!
Brilliant! He won't help you

stop the change coming.

Give me a false name,
one that I can...think of.

ALARM BLARES

I don't know what we're doing here.
Running an entrapment scam.
It's immoral.

What's the matter with you?!
I've woken up to this job!

This is your operation!
Why are you wrecking it?! Please!

I'm decommissioning you, Tom. Don't
be ridiculous. You are no longer
an officer of the service.

We'll never meet again. Yeah.

Good luck in the real world.

You know this plant.

The more you try to rid the
desert of it, the more it spreads.

It has no known predator.

Early in '97, I was told that there
was a traitor in my organisation,

but by the time I uncovered him,
it was too late.
He'd been...spirited away.

I assume you and the Americans
are still looking after him.

The witness protection scheme,
or whatever misnomer you give it.

This man is the price
of our co-operation.

That's not going to be possible.

Why on earth do you think we would
betray an old friend like that?

Because I'm your new friend,
and am now more important to you

than the old one.

HE SPEAKS IN URDU

..and the problem can be solved.

Cutting it fine. So, what's our
illustrious author up to today, then?

Tea with a friend.

For someone with a fatwa hanging
over him, Zuli sure gets out a lot.
Who's the friend? Harakat.

Bookseller. Checks out OK.

Isn't that a bit low status?
He usually hangs out with glitterati.
Home Secretary's a big fan...

Oh, so that's why we're on this op.

With high-level protection.
Showing how much the government
disapproves of the fatwa.

One thing worries me. The last thing
we want is to keep Zuli alive long
enough to inflict a new novel on us.

What do you think, Danny?

My Urdu's a little rusty.

Harakat thinks I should consider
renouncing what I wrote - the fatwa
would be lifted. But what about me?

What would I do then?
Go back to breaking into foreign
embassies or stitching up Greenpeace!

Or whatever you were doing before.
(If only you knew.)

It must be a loose connection.

Get down...!

Code red, code red! Zoe!

V12?

We're being hit!

'Code red. Can anyone hear me?
Go! Code red!' Go, go, go! Zoe!

Armed police! Stay down!

Will, just give me a second
with Danny.

I'll see you outside.

Danny...

It's me.

You should get some sleep.

Where are you going?
I'm going to a wedding.

Oh, you look great.
Listen, I'll be back on Sunday.

Will you be OK?

Yeah.

Zoe, I've been thinking about Tom,

what he did...

He was right. You've got
to seize the day. I guess...

he thought he had to act...
get out while the going was good.

You're not thinking about... No, no,
not at all, it was just, you know,

how our job, what we go through,

can only really be understood
by someone who lives this life?

They have a particular understanding
of it... No, it's more than that.

It's made me realise
we've been ignoring it -

pretending there's nothing
going on. I'm with Will,
Danny, you know that. Zoe...

Look, this weekend... Just
think about what you really want,

who you really want.

What are you doing? I'm just
checking to see whether there's
an ejector seat or something...

Oh, no, I just flick a switch down
there and bang... You're toast.

Well, I better behave myself then!
So much easier than
a long, drawn-out break up.

All those wasted cinema tickets,
rows over dinner, broken promises...

One flick of a button -
out with the old, in with the new.

Talking of old... Have you
and Danny ever had a thing?

Why do you ask?

You seem very careful,
attentive around him.

Like just now.

Ah, no. No. Definitely not.

I think
he thinks he'd like to, you know...

It's OK. It's something for me to
deal with. He's had a bad week. It's
fine if you don't want to tell me.

What the hell happened? All comms
went down. Zuli... Where's Zuli?

Fine. Unhurt. Harakat? Superficial
injuries. He's gone to the hospital.

Best place for him - there's more
police than nurses in that place.
That wouldn't be hard! Hey,

get the ballistics done first.

That's not it.

That's it.

The short-stock Scorpion. No, it
isn't. There's something missing.

The barrel had some sort of
silencer. The sound was muffled.

It had some sort of silencer.
I really don't think so.

I mean, I'll look into it, but...

Zuli's here. Can we finish
the weapons stuff later? It's OK.
We're through.

Who did it? You're asking me?

How long have you got?
Half the Muslim world wants me dead.

Aren't you supposed to be protecting
me? We did. You're here.
We protected you.

Yes, it is our job
and it was through a heightened
sense of threat to yourself

that we came on board. Whilst
we deeply regret what happened...

Look... I arrange tea with a friend,
and the friend ends up getting shot.

That's not
"full protective surveillance".

We might as well have just gone
to Starbucks on our own. Coffee.
Danny...

Starbucks... That would have
been for coffee, not tea. Anyhow,

we do appreciate your coming here...

Good. You'll be pleased to hear that
I've already been in touch with the
Home Secretary. Oh, Sam. Could you...

There's no need. I told
the Home Secretary that from now on
I'd organise my own protection.

I have some boys
outside already - ex-CIA.

Ex-CIA. I am impressed(!)

Oh, please don't stand there and say
he's got a point! You guys may do
things differently, but here when...

He's got a point...
And me, I'm here, not over there.

But if Harry changes his mind,

you can be the first
to escort me across the river.
Danny. This isn't about you.

Your work was outstanding. You saved
Zuli's life but you were seriously
compromised! We all were.

I mean, somebody knew exactly
where we were, how to get in,
how to get away... Right.

Two things we need. Who did it,
and what are they going to do next?

What happened then?

Danny?

What happened? Um...
I fired two more,

missed and tried to protect Zuli...
And the gunman?

He was crouched,
and we started to exchange fire.

There were books being shredded
everywhere. It was like
it was all happening slowly...

Then, Harakat came straight
across at the gunman here.

Yeah, and took the hit.

Brave man.

This is the crucial part.
The gunman was in. He had a clear
shot at Zuli here, and time...

Why didn't he at least
try and shoot him?

Because I started firing at him.

But when he had the chance?

Ruth? I need some research done
on one of the people involved...

Zuli? No, he's being covered. And
Zoe and Danny will be on the hitman.

I want you to...to check out our
friend. The bookseller Harakat.

It's useful to look at an operation
from a less obvious viewpoint.

You know, cover all the bases.

Harry tells me you're
the soul of discretion.

Did he? Well...

I try... Good.

Thought so. Oh, and Tom...!

Sorry...

God... So sorry...

Adam.

That means that you don't want me to
distribute my research to the rest
of the office? That's right...Ruth.

And I'd also prefer it if it
came to me, Adam, rather than Tom.

Yes, yes, of course, Adam. Adam.

That's fine. Just do as he says.

I brought Adam in
to resolve the Tom problem...
And now you intend to keep him on?

I haven't decided. But whatever
I decide, whoever joins the team,

I still very much see you
as one of the senior pros...
to use an old cricket expression.

And Adam's what? Our...new captain?

I don't know. I only know
that I want someone from outside.

So all that makes someone
like Malcolm... What?

Head groundsman?
I think we can probably take
the analogy too far. Don't you?

Right.

Harakat's application
for citizenship?

That he wrote out when he applied
for immigration. What are they?

Give me the highlights.

Well, it reads to me like...

like a not very good legend...

Something an MI6 case officer
would make up.

It seems too real to be
a real life, if you know
what I mean...Adam.

Thank you...Ruth.

I shall look into it.

Danny. I want you to arrange
protection for Harakat.
The bookseller? He's a witness.

He may have seen the guy,
know something. Shouldn't
I get on to Special Branch?

No, I want you to do this. Spend
some time with him. Listen to him.

OK. Cheers.

You were very brave.

I went for him before
he got you, that's all.

You saw it, you were there.

If I think about it,
you know what it was?

It's the moment you spend
your whole life trying to avoid.

The man on the bridge about to jump,
the lunatic with the knife...

If I'd had anywhere to run I'd have
been the first one to go. I'd have
been close behind. You're wrong.

The world is divided into two types
of people - people like you

who look for trouble, and
sensible people who try to avoid it.

In a moment of insanity,
I stepped over the line,
and look what happened.

I should have stuck to my books.

Well, Zuli and I are
still around because of you.

Why do they think I need protection?

I guess it's because you were
the only one who saw the hitman
and he may come after you.

Someone's heard some chatter on the
wire somewhere. You saw him, too.

Maybe I need protection as well.

But who guards the guards?

I think they expect us to be
able to look after ourselves.

I'm happy to go and ask Mace but we
must be careful that one swallow
does not make a summer and all that.

I hate to put this on
your shoulders but...

Let me talk to him.

Why should I be interested in
this man's immigration application?

Does it now say Visas and Passports
on my door?

Actually, it says Department
of Livestock and Freshwater Fish.
Don't be facetious, Harry.

Oliver, this is the man who was hit
when someone took a pop at
our esteemed novelist Zuli.

So what? Wrong time, wrong place.

To me this application looks like
something written by an analyst.

One of those spotty MI6
mutants they keep in the dungeons

at Vauxhall Bridge Road, beside
where C grows his magic mushrooms.

Harry, we may not be able
to see the massed,
red-coated ranks of England's finest

piling across the field of Waterloo,
but to all intents and purposes,
we are at war...

And you're asking me
to check up

on whether 20 years ago,

some Mr Harakat really was
a trainee shelf-stacker

at the Karachi Pic 'n' Mix?

I'll keep it simple -
you oversee both Five and Six.

Is there anything you
are not sharing about Harakat?

Of course not.

Harry, we're on the same side.

Don't you think that instead
of pursuing this childish
inter-agency rivalry,

you should concentrate on trying to
plug the gaps in your own security?

Meaning what?

As I hear it, the reason this
poor chap got shot was that half
of London knew Zuli's schedule.

So there's nothing that you're
not telling me about Harakat.

My role is no longer operational.

I just oversee. Precisely.

Everything goes across your desk.

Anyone running operations within
the UK without informing MI5

is playing a dangerous
and foolish game.

Which is why I explicitly forbid it.

The forensic boys
found this under our wagon.

It's a jamming device that can be
triggered up to 500 metres away.

It's what brought down the comms.
Thanks, Malcolm.

And there's a list of everybody that
had access to Zuli's schedule. MI6,

Home Office, No 10, Cabinet Office
and most of the rest of Whitehall,
by the looks of it.

And a ton of security camera footage
from the bookshop.

My guess is that the hitman
checked out the bookshop
at some point before.

Just on the Iranians now.
I cross-referenced footage from the
bookshop with all other known hitmen.

Three more Middle Eastern embassies
left and... ..and then I'm left with
assorted mercenaries and nutcases.

Well, you might get lucky. Check this
out - the Syrian Security Advisor...

no match.

But nonetheless, we ought to put him
under immediate surveillance. What do
you think? You could have night duty.

Malcolm, what do you think
of Mr Handsome over here?

He's OK. OK?! That is more than OK.

That's like... The business?

Depends on what you think makes a
man attractive. Somebody that looks
like that and makes me laugh...

Oh... No, no, no, no, Zoe's right.
I'm too serious.

I should lighten up.

Maybe you could help me? I could
practise jokes, stuff like that.

Mmm! Ruth?

She'd love to, Malcolm.

Go on, then, Malcolm.
Try your joke out.

See if that brings us any luck.

OK. Right. Um...

Man walks into a doctor's surgery.

"Doctor, I've a cricket ball stuck
up my bum." Doctor says "Howzat?"
Bloke says "Don't you start."

In some ways, Malcolm,
I don't think I'm the best person
for you on this.

Right. There's one about two ants
and an elephant...

Wait. There it is.

Finally, that's it. That's a match.

Someone up there must like
your joke, Malcolm. Outstanding!

This is our main hitman suspect.

His name is Sharaf Al-Youm.

He came through Heathrow
on a tourist visa a few weeks ago.

These were taken a week before
the shooting. Taken where?

On the CCTV in the bookstore. Who
is he and why's he on our database?

He's a big-time hitman but with no
allegiance that we know of to any
groups or countries he's worked for.

Bosnia '96, where he spent
his summer killing Serbs.

Algiers. Apparently, the regime
was strapped for cash,

so they paid him with a military
helicopter. Land it in the garden -
neighbours know you mean business.

So he's a hired assassin.
Chances are he'll try again.

We need to find this man
and who he's working for.

Will's asked me to go
to a wedding with him.

When? This weekend.

Whose? His best friend
from college.

That's great!

Yeah, but it's... It's the first
thing we've done in public together.

So are you going to get him vetted?
He already has been. It's a shame
that the service

has to be the first to know when
we're serious about someone.
Especially before they do!

So was anybody following us? For a
while, back there, but we lost them.

I didn't see you.
You know, looking.

You wouldn't. That's the point.

There's a lot about this I don't
understand. Well, it just becomes
instinctive after a while.

There are some things you can do,
you know to make sure... Like going
twice around a roundabout?

That's more Starsky and Hutch.
No. That's what we just did.

No, that's because you don't know
how to read a map.

So sometimes, the lie is just me
pretending to be somebody else.
Like the insurance thing? Yeah.

It's OK. You can tell me.

You know you've really got to
promise not to tell anyone about
these conversations... Promise.

OK.

I have four or five
full other identities.

Now, the initials of the other names
are usually the same as our own.

It just makes it
a bit easier to remember.

They've got different backgrounds,
jobs, addresses... And people
who work and live there...

..vouch for me as that person.
So, say I'm going undercover,
as, I don't know...

Zoe Reynolds, er...

Zelda...Ringbinder...
the notorious drug thief.

OK, and the Medellin Cartel will
send someone to check Zelda out.

So somebody answers that phone or
answers that door and says yes, she
lives here but she's not here now.

And I have credit cards, post,
a passport in that name,
at that address. A whole past...

Do you ever forget who you're meant
to be, Zelda? Oh, all the time.

CHURCH BELLS RING

Ruth, where's Adam? Had to dash out.

Anniversary present for his wife.

PHONE RINGS

Yeah. Go on. We just had
a tip-off from immigration.

Al-Youm. The hitman - he's back in
the UK. Just got off the Eurostar.

He could be back to try again.

OK. Well, let's be ready
for him then.

OK, our hitman - he came out of
Waterloo, took the tube to Shepherd's
Bush and he's just picked up a car

that was parked on a W12 back street.
He's heading into town along the
Westway. I've got a tail on him.

Deliberate decoy route. Must be.
Hope he's paid his congestion charge.
Ken will be cross.

Oh sorry, Ruth, that's mine.

Fine. Good. Course it is.

Stand by next car.

Next car's ready
for rotation in five minutes.

Great.

OK. Stay with him.

'Affirmative.'

Where are you going?

'Looks like our hitman's arrived
at his destination.'

Sam, message Danny and tell him
I want him to get Harakat
to a safehouse, and stay there.

Thanks, Danny.

I appreciate the help.

So where are we going? A safehouse.

Where we can keep an eye on you.

Will it be you? Some of the time...
I'll be doing shifts. You know.

So I go home when?

Truthfully?

Danny, you work
for British intelligence.
that's the last thing I expect.

Ah, you sound like Zuli now...

What is it that is written
at CIA headquarters -

isn't there a motto?

"You shall know the truth
and the truth shall set you free."

So then...

when do you set me free?

Well... So this isn't going
to be over soon, is it?

Will you do something for me?

Sure.

If I give you a list of books, could
you please collect it from my shop?

OK. And if you fancy something,

you can have it.
Thanks, I think there are probably
rules about no freebies.

There are about most things.

Al-Youm took a circuitous route to
East London, via the city, checking
no-one was on him. Any blips? None.

We put surveillance and a technical
team on. House opposite would be
perfect. Get who's in there out.

"Holiday in the Sun"
competition usually works, Sam.
This'll make Malcolm's day.

Mmm... What postcode are we talking
about? E8. When will someone
give me an NW3?

It's much more interesting.
E8...Costa Blanca sounds right.

Maybe Benidorm...

Malcolm, has anybody every told you

you're a dreadful snob?

Am I right in thinking, Mrs Barnes,
that you brought garden furniture
with your Visa card in April?

..A bench, right...

That purchase automatically
entered you into our free draw!

Well, I have some wonderful news!
Get your suitcases and get packing.

If you need me to get some more
books, it can easily be arranged.

No, I've got all I need, thanks.

But I tell you what
I'm really itching to do,

and that's to go outside.

That, I'm afraid,
isn't so easy to pull off.

So they think I'm still under threat?

Yeah. Possibly.

It's not my favourite feeling.

You sound like you've
experienced it before.

Thanks.

Still nothing?

Nothing.

Harry got nowhere with Oliver Mace.

Sometimes this happens.

You get these lulls.

Doesn't make it any easier.

I mean, look at this. This is
all the surveillance footage since
he arrived. What's he waiting for?

If there's anything more you need
me to do, you just have to ask.

Danny...

I've got this for you.

I'm sorry for what Zuli said
in that meeting but he was certainly
not speaking on my behalf.

And gratitude is not
one of his things.

Clearly. Please open it.

If you don't like it, you can give
it back to me or just sell it.

1913 Wisden. I've never even seen
a 1913. How did you know?

I saw you notice them in my shop.

And I knew that... You like cricket?

I don't like it...

I just love it.

I used to play a lot in Islamabad,
but I'm not in demand any more...

so I just watch it, when I can. And
collect Wisdens. I have the full set.

The only one I don't have is the...
1884? Exactly. The one that contains
the obituary of John Wisden.

Aristotle famously referred to
"what of life" and "how of life",
and I learned both these things,

while playing cricket.

Thanks.

I've a friend on the ground staff
at Lords. I could organise a private
tour for us. That'd be wonderful!

Is there something
about you I should know?

What all this history
teaches me is that man
learns nothing from his past.

He just repeats it.

Thank you, Sam.

But where did it come from?

It was delivered
to Harry anonymously.

Mohammed Khordad - leader
of the Pakistani Terrorist Group
the Path of Light.

Originated in Kashmir but
have now extended their operations
to include South East Asia -

certainly one of the most vicious
and bloody groups we've dealt with.

Taken from an American spy plane.
Probably a Predator from about
25,000ft over the Middle East.

Even from that height, the cameras
can read the letters on a Coke can.

What is the point of it being able
to do all this if you can't see
the result?

We need to find out who Khordad's
talking to. The American Embassy has
an image enhancer. We'll go there.

This software is state of the art.
It maps the contours of the skull

and then creates an image
of the face.

Oliver Mace! With Muhammed Khordad.
Doubt they're forming a book group.

With Mace, you never can tell.
My guess is it's some sort of deal.

How about two swallows, Harry?
What are you talking about?

Do you think two swallows
could make a summer?

Anything you can bring to the
table would be more than welcome.

Like what are they talking about?

So they know about my little chat
with Khordad? Any idea how
they got hold of the picture?

..You're probably right.

These days most people's idea of
a secret is something you're allowed
to tell one person at a time.

I want to know who's talking.

Tell Six to put a team of
watchers on Harry Pearce's lot.

And keep me fully informed.

The source behind the photo -
she's willing to talk.

A deep throat?

It's not a term I care for much,
but yes.

You'll understand she's not
someone I can be seen anywhere near

but here's when
and where you can meet her.

None of it's negotiable, I'm afraid.

She's taking a tremendous
risk in helping us.

If she's identified or
even suspected... Who is it?

Let's just say she's
a very senior government official.

Don't let me down on this, Adam.

Because afterwards I think we should
talk about the future. You and MI5.

This is our chance to get a world
exclusive on what went on between
Mace and Khordad at the West Bank,

and maybe there's a connection to
Al-Youm. The contact who donated the
photo has agreed to a rendezvous.

They're the only person who knows
what's discussed and whether there's
a link to events at the bookstore.

No-one can know this person
has spoken to me.

They're taking a massive risk, so
if I'm followed, we must know who's
following me, and we lose them.

Category A counter-surveillance.
Zoe, run the route for me.

If we get this right,
we'll nail this once and for all.

Danny, I know our hitman still
hasn't moved an inch but...
Understood. Harakat. CQP. Day shift.

Yeah. Now, before we start,
there's something about Tom
I want to get straight.

He was an outstanding case officer
who, with all of you,
established a great team.

This is no disservice to him because
his record stands for itself, but
I need you to forget what happened.

I need you on my side.

OK, before the bridge,
the sign is where?

The...Festival Pier.

This'll do.

OK, watch Adam carefully. He's one
of the best. He made his name with
this stuff in the Middle East.

Get it wrong there and you spend
the rest of your days on a meat hook
somewhere up the Bekaa Valley.

He's just Adam in a suit on his way
to a business meeting in the city.
He's not yet working a cover.

Are you all clear, Mike? 'Clear.'

'Ready in position.'

'In position now.
Passing check point one...'

'Mr Ohnia.'

This footage is our control.

Logging all cars going through it
five minutes before and after. OK.

Blue Mondeo, reg number P506 LLM...

The crossword's been started, telling
him so far, he's not been followed.

We've got four hours left to keep
him clear before the meeting.

So they're using Adam, are they?
Well, he is good.

With luck, he'll take us
straight to whoever's talking.

Excellent.

Where now?

Or is that "need to know"?
You'll just have to close
your eyes and count to ten.

Right, ready to go to Phase Two.
His next cutout.

Adam Carter...
Where are you off to?

That's him. Oh, Adam,
don't you have another hat?

Now move in the watchers.
Move Five. Move Six.

Move Seven, Eight...Nine...

That's right, Adam, all the way
home! Nothing. No matches.

Right, at this point there's either
no-one following him or there's so
many that they're not yet rotating.

Force the issue.
Go to a chokepoint. He can take
the Millennium Footbridge. Tell him.

Move Seven and Eight? Absolutely.

OK, it looks like he's clear.
The other bridges? Surrounding
roads? There's a number plate match.

Where?

It might be nothing.
Where did we first see it?
On the Embankment. By the Obelisk.

People like that don't
travel in cars together.

Get the teams on the ground to
follow our two friends here. OK.

They must have a very big team
if this is the first repeat
in two hours. It's MI6.

They're the only ones with this much
manpower. Ruth, tell him we think
it's his old friends over at Six.

He probably trained those guys.

OK. Ready for phase three,
his next cut-out.

We're running out of ideas. They're
all over us. Less than three hours.
It's nothing. Tell Adam to abort?

No. It's today or we lose the source.
Where's the next contact point?
Last stop - Eva.

It'll be the secretary. She'll
have told him someone's on him.

Are we missing anything?

Wait! Go back.

Here!

Oh, very good, Adam.

He's heading down to...
the Jubilee Line. Good.

Move Eight into position.

Keep them closed. There'll
be complaints, you know, sir.
Oh, you'll think of something.

Say they were the wrong sort
of doors.

'Due to an earlier incident
in the station, passengers will
not be able to alight this train.

'We apologise for the inconvenience.'

Thank you.

I'm sorry, we've lost him, sir.

Damn you, Harry.

What did you just put in the bin?

A jammer.

All the signals are jammed.
He must have got there. Thanks, Sam.

CROWD ROARS

So, what's the deal in the picture?

Primarily it's the result
of pressure from the multinationals

with mining interests
in that country. The terrorist
Khordad is a much-feared man.

With him on their side, they'll get
what they want. And what do we give
Khordad in return? What's our part?

Harakat. What do you mean?

You don't know who he is?

My friend left us these. Ahh!

Shall we?

Ayman Harakat has not always
been a bookseller.

He came to the UK about five years
ago from Pakistan where he worked
for Khordad and the Path of Light

as their top engineer.

Until...?

Something happened -
he got caught out, they turned him.

It took a while for his conscience
to kick in, but, eventually
he became a double agent for MI6.

Anyhow, after a year of running him,
it got too hot so they exiled him,
and relocated him here.

A few years later,
and it's all change.

Our government,
in its infinite wisdom,

decides that it now needs
the previously unspeakable Khordad
as their new best friend.

From terrorist to ally.

The fact that
Harakat knows the novelist Zuli
makes it even more perfect -

a meeting could be arranged, the hit
could happen and it could all be made

to look like a botched attempt
to kill the novelist.

And after the hit failed?

They went back to Khordad
to try to get a new deal.

But they didn't manage it.

He simply threatened
to go over to the French.

They're going to try
and hit Harakat again?

As they see it,
they've got no choice.

Same gunman - Al-Youm? No.

No. He's now the decoy.
It'll be someone else.

I don't know who, and don't
know where, but it'll be soon.

The reason I'm here... The reason
I passed on the photograph

is that I disapprove of what's going
on. This is being done more for the
corporations than for anyone else.

Their hold over our foreign
policy grows by the hour.
It's not something I approve of.

Tails.

Tails. Your field.

PHONE RINGS
Zoe, I was right! Harakat
is the target. Stay on the line.

Malcolm, warn Danny,
Harakat's the target.

I'll check his itinerary.

OK. Al-Youm is a decoy!

They're using another hitman.

Danny, I have something
very important to tell you.

But after this.

Everything can wait for cricket.

Adam. OK, there's a problem.

Danny said he was going
to the safehouse, but via Lords.
It's in his itinerary.

They must still be there but
his phone's off. Get somebody! A
groundsman, anyone... I don't care!

Picture the scene - the ground's
full, you need four for your 100
and to win the test. Right arm over.

OK.

I can't get through to Danny
or Lords.

The lines are still down.
I can't bear to watch this.
His phone's been jammed.

We've got five units on their way.

There's Adam.

There's the car there.

DANNY!

Do you think if Tom had been here,
things would have been different?

And Harakat might still be...? No.

No, nobody could have foreseen this.

You're probably right.

You know what, Danny?

Everything's going to be all right.

Yeah. Whatever happens,
there'll still be you and me.

Do you know how Harakat behaved when
he worked for them? Before he got
a conscience and came to us?

I was in Karachi at the time. It
wasn't pleasant. Not much there was.

We had taken on a responsibility
to protect Harakat. We made a deal.

If we so disapproved of him then
you shouldn't have been in business.
His deal was superseded by another.

We gave Khordad our word as well.

Just wait and see...

who's to say that Harakat's life
isn't worth all the lives

that will be saved by befriending
the new, improved Khordad?

If you're asking me...

is there at present anything we
shouldn't do to achieve our ends,

then frankly, I don't know.

Post 9-11, we made a decision
that nothing, nobody,
was to be off limits any more.

Look around at what's been
happening since Iraq.

We're up against it. We can't
say any more, "This we do not do."

In the long term,

it will be proved right
as the strategy.

Whose "long term"
are we talking about?

Before you get
on your hobby-horse, Harry,

do you think we did this alone,
without help from Langley?
And that justifies it?!

Part of the reason for all this
is most Americans think
anything east of the Hudson

is like those blank spaces on
medieval maps, where they drew in a
monster and wrote "Here Be Dragons".

Do you believe Khordad will stay
with us?! Keep his promises?

As I was leaving, we were getting
reports of explosions in Peshawar.

It looks like them, and this
is with the ink barely dry on the
deal! That could have been anybody.

If you people continue like this
there won't be any long term for
any of us, not that I can see.

Oh, Harry, Six would quite like
to get Adam Carter back.

Isn't the loan period up? No.

It's over when I say. I'm thinking
of making it more permanent.

But they're right about one thing,
though. He is rather good.

Thanks for stopping the tube for me.

I want you to keep
working with us, Adam...

I'll try and make sure it's not
too often against your old crowd.
Yeah, well,

you'd have thought there were
enough enemies in the world
without creating our own.

There are two spooks that are
hiding out in the woods, one MI5,

one MI6. After a while they realise
they are being chased by a bear,
so they start to run. After a bit,

the MI5 guy stops, takes off his
boots, and puts on his running shoes.

The MI6 guy looks down and goes,
"Oh, what are you doing?! What,
you think you can outrun a bear?"

To which our guy replies, "No..."
"But I can outrun you." I told you
I was no good at jokes.

Now you'll tell me that that story
was true, and that was you?

It's the government's policy not
to comment on intelligence issues.

I wouldn't know about that but
you're with me now, and what happens
at other times is just that.

Bear or no bear.

I know that now. After today.

"When my love swears
that she is made of truth...

"I do believe her
though I know she lies...

"Therefore I lie with her,
and she with me...

"And in our faults by lies
we flattered be."

Shakespeare, sonnet 34. Oh.
Well, it's an MI5 favourite.

You're a know-all.

You know what, Will,

with you I'll always tell the truth,
just so long as you promise to
always laugh in all the right places.

She's the agent!
I am NOT an Israeli spy!

Catherine's my daughter. What made
you need to meet me so urgently?

You support these terrorists!
We want peace!

Some bloody lunatic's just
kidnapped the UN's chief negotiator.

This is too big for a middle-ranking
spook! You don't know her, Adam!

At the moment, you're
the biggest danger to her! Stay!

NOO! You can't touch me!
