Don't you see the danger?
That something blows up in London?
No. That we turn into them!

We don't deal with nice guys.

She might be in danger. She's good.
She'll get out of it.

We're glad to have you
staying with us.

I need to be in the field.
You'll get killed one day.

I know it.

This programme contains
some strong language.

Adam!

TRANSLATION FROM ARABIC:

Hello, sleepy head.

You've got odd socks on.

Have you chased the FCO about
the cheque for Wes's school fees?

Yes!

Have you chased the FCO about...?

No, I haven't. What happens
when he gets chucked out?

How you getting on with Danny? Good.
I love working with him.

Ruth get any more internet chatter?
What have you got for my birthday?
Don't worry, I've kept the receipt.

Bet you wish you'd kept the receipt
for ME sometime. Never.

You wouldn't swap me
for another girl?

I wouldn't swap you
for the whole world.

Is the right answer!

Hey!

SHE SQUEALS
Stop it!

Stop it!

The raid on the house in Dollis Hill

turned up maps of the tube
and information on Sarin.

We think a North African group
might be involved.

Your Moroccan agent, Butterfly?
I'll talk to him.

Get me a result. Adam, a word.

How are Special Branch coping
with the Iraqis and Americans
in town this week?

They seem to have everything nailed
down. Any terrorist attack may be
timed to coincide with the visit.

Which would be unfortunate timing.
Another bomb in Basra today. 70 dead
including a bus-load of children.

They work well together. Good.
Let's hope Butterfly gives us
something useful.

Latest intel from Butterfly.
Rumours of a London meeting

between North African characters
we may be interested in.

Find out when and where.
Work with Danny on it. OK.

So, what are you getting Fiona
for her birthday?

Sorry, Ruth.

What? You might be her mole.

Even if you weren't, telling you
would only put you in danger.

Fiona takes her birthdays
very seriously.

I sometimes drug her the night before
just to get her to sleep.

I'm not a mole! Glad to hear it.

Harry. No, no, not that kind
of mole, um, Adam was joking
about Fiona's...

It's all right, Ruth,
I'm aware you were joking.

Chocolates might be the answer.

Nice ones. Get Sam to nip across
to that Belgian shop.

Yeah, that's...
that's not a bad idea, Harry.

Don't say anything,
he's still in earshot.

Salam Alechum.

Alechum Salam. Count it.

It's what you deserve
for helping us.

MI5 will have to change your agent
name from Butterfly to Traitor.

They may have paid you
a lot of money, but I think
this is a more appropriate reward.

Get rid of him.

I was having such a strange dream.

I was trying to get across a bridge.
And you were on the other side.

Well, I'm here now.

Happy birthday.

Oh, yeah, it's my birthday,
isn't it?

Adam.

It's from Damascus.

Is it from the souk
we used to go to?

How did you get it?
With great difficulty.

It's beautiful.

It's all gonna work out, isn't it?

Us working together, Wes and...

Everything will be fine.

I promise.

According to Butterfly, the meeting
is scheduled for this evening, but
the house will be empty until 12,

which gives us...an hour max.

Bloody hell, that was quick.

One of my many talents.

I'll take the upstairs.

'I'm entering the kitchen.'

'Nothing out of the ordinary.

'How's it going with you?'

It's definitely
a logistical safe house, Danny.
'Why? What have you found?'

A ton of credit cards
and a passport.

How's it going in the kitchen?

Danny?

8.30? Great.

Oh, and I want one of those little
alcoves you've got upstairs.

Brilliant, thank you very much. Bye.

Where did you two meet?

An embassy reception in Damascus.
It was before everything changed. You
could still walk around an Arab city.

I was late and it was...
it was humid, really humid.

And all the guests were sweating but
she just looked so cool and assured.

I tried to get her attention, but
she just looked right through me.

Then all of a sudden
she just walks up to me and says
"I can't stand this any more.

"Let's go for a walk." How romantic!

We walked all through the city,
down to the Omayyad Mosque.

And just as we walked passed
the ancient temple
she pointed out this little tower

and said,
"that's the Minaret of the Bride."

After that, we met up every weekend
and just walked around and she said

the only way to know a city
was to get lost in it.

There were souks
with the silver and the spices,
the ancient walls of the city.

But we always met up
at the Minaret of the Bride.

What do you want?

Have you been watching
the news recently?

Hospital wards filled
with burned children,

your soldiers smashing into houses

humiliating my people, thousands of
my countrymen tortured and killed.

You have brought chaos
and anarchy to Iraq.

Today we will hold you to account.

We?

It is you who decided
that the War on Terror involved
invading my country.

OK, so we are all Al Quaeda now.
You're not going to get very far.

Really? Look, um,
we can sort something out.

We've already cracked your
attack cell, we know exactly what
you're planning to do, so it's over.

How do you know?
We found the house with the maps
of the tube in Dollis Hill.

You found out about that? How?

You must have an informer
in your ranks.

Don't make matters worse
by interfering with two officers
of the British Security Services.

We can negotiate safe passage
for you to somewhere like Sudan

in return for our release.

That sounds promising.

You ran an agent named Butterfly
I believe?

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

You want to offer me a new deal?

Read.

What is this?

This is no time for games.
Read it or I will cut his throat.

My name is Fiona Carter.

I work as a British spy and I am
being held by a group of fighters

who will avenge the blood spilled
in Iraq by America and its allies.

Tonight the Prime Minister
will give a speech outlining

his continuing commitment
to British troops in Iraq.

Unless he uses the speech to
signal their immediate withdrawal
from the south of the country,

I will be burned alive
together with my spy colleague.

Let this be a warning that we can
take hostages wherever we choose.

You read those words with
no emotion. They're not my words.

Every single person involved in
this operation has lost somebody.

Family member, friend,
a husband or a wife.

That man over there...he could cut
both your throats very easily.

And inside you still think
you are the civilised ones?

Maybe it's because we couldn't
cut anyone's throat very easily.

No! You'd just send a laser-guided
bomb into a wedding party.

We will bring you food and water.

If you do as I say,
we will not humiliate you
as you do your own captives.

Yeah, so then he just jumped out of
bed and said he wanted to drive to
Wales that same night and I said...

Hi. Can I help you?

I didn't want to interrupt
your conversation. That's OK.

Are you from Wales? I couldn't help
overhearing. Do I sound like
I'm from Wales? Yeah.

Isn't it your national day soon?

I'm not Welsh! Look,
it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Saint David's Day's in March.
Oh, really? Didn't know that.
Could we help you with something?

Yeah, I'm here to see
Harry Pearce and Adam Carter.

OK. Follow me.

Lead on, Blodwyn.

Thanks...

Ruth. Ruth.

Your name?

Zafar. But friends call me Zaf.

I'll just let them know
you're here, Zafar.

Mr Younis! Mr Carter!
What have you been up to? You know,
exploring my identity crisis.

Asian or British? British or Asian?
It's tearing me apart.

You called me because of the Dollis
Hill raid and N African connections?
And want my assessment of the risks?

It's real. The Group of Islamic
Combatants has roots here in London.

Could they be planning something
here? Yes, but things puzzle me.
Not least the Sarin.

The standard MO of groups like
the GIC is Goma 2 explosive,
as in the Madrid train blasts.

There are other Moroccan groups
but I can't see them over here
messing with Sarin. Anything else?

None of the contacts check out
and leaving them behind is sloppy.
Can you stay with us on this one?

If you can clear it with my boss,
I'd love to.

Giles Hanley? I've enough on him
to take his house and car too
if I choose. Sam will sort you out.

With a desk! Cool.

Rather young. He's cool.

That's not my favourite word.

You're going to make
another phone call.

To whom? To your husband.

To say what?

You'll arrange to meet him
in a place that I tell you.

Lure my husband into a trap?

That's not going to happen.
I thought you might say that.

You know who this is, of course?

Saint Joseph's School.
I can call the person
sitting outside right now.

You're offering me the choice
between my husband and my son.

That's exactly the choice
I'm offering.

Well, you can go and... Do it.

Adam would understand.

What are you going to do with Adam?

Nothing. All he has to do
is follow my instructions.

Wait.

I'm assuming you are good at your
job. Today you have to be very good.

The smallest tremor in your voice,
the slightest suggestion that all
is not well and it will all be over.

For everybody.

You'll meet him here.

SHE DIALS

Darling, it's me.

Hey, birthday girl, how's it going?

Lovely. I need to meet up with you.

It's really important. Can't you
tell me over the phone? Don't you
remember the rule for birthdays?

OK, I know. I have to do everything
you want today.

So can you meet me?
Yeah, I can do that. Where?

The NFT Cafe on the South Bank.
Soon as you can. Sure,
but give me about an hour. OK?

How's Danny?

He's fine. OK, excellent.
I'll see you in a bit.

Threatening kids.
You've got real class.

The track record of the West for
killing children being excellent,
of course.

Sorry, I forget, the lives
of Arab children are worth far less.

That's never our goal
and we do all we can to avoid it.

Their families will be
relieved to hear that.

Cuff from the front, please,
so I can give us water.

I'm sorry, that seat's taken.

You must do everything I say.

If you make a false move
your wife and the other MI5 agent
will die instantly.

Adam Carter? I am sitting here with
your wife and the other MI5 officer.

Who are you? What do you want?
Just stay with my colleague.

She will give you your instructions.
Be warned that she is equipped
with an alarm that, if triggered,

will mean I will kill
both of my hostages.

Equally, I receive regular messages
from her. Should I not hear them,
I shall kill the hostages.

Is that clear? I won't waste time.
Tell me your demands
and we'll see what we can do.

My only demand is that
you stay with my colleague
and do exactly as she says.

If you do that, your wife
and the other officer stay alive
for a little longer.

Let me talk to her.

Say your name.

Butterfly was a decoy.

Ah!

That noise you heard
was my gun handle
connecting with your wife's face.

Although your bargaining position
is very weak, Mr Carter,
you still have choices.

You can make the death
of the hostages less agonising
than being burned alive.

Do you understand, Mr Carter?

I understand.

Good. We understand each other.

That's a promising start.

Take out everything in your pockets.
Keys, cash, wallet, everything
and place them on the paper.

And the mobile.

I have to call in a status report
or they'll start looking for me.

OK, call in.

Put it on speakerphone,
so I can hear everything.

Ruth, it's Adam. Go ahead.

Everything's fine. I've been in touch
with Danny and Fiona.

We're following
a lead at the call centre.
Cancel my meeting with Harry. OK.

You never told me what you bought
Fiona for her birthday.

I got her the Belgian chocolates
as you suggested. I'm sorry?

Yeah. It seems your suggestion
was the best in the end.

You got her chocolates?

That's right, you talked me into it.
Fiona loved them,
just like you said she would.

Right. OK, well,
I hope she appreciates them.

Speak to you later.

How long do we have to stay here for?
Until I say so.

You approve of that, do you?

Hitting a woman.
Threatening to burn her alive?

How would you feel if that was
one of your family? My family were
killed by American bombs in Iraq.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Save your sympathy.

SHE KNOCKS
Something's wrong. How do you know?
You knocked.

It's Adam. What's wrong? He called
and cancelled your meeting because
he says he's with Danny and Fiona.

It's just a routine briefing,
it can wait. But he... But what?

He said he'd bought Fiona chocolates
for her birthday, as I suggested.

I thought that was my suggestion.
Exactly, and...
He's probably just mixed up.

Harry, I talked to Adam. There is
no way he was going to buy Fiona
chocolates for her birthday.

Not that there's anything wrong with
chocolates as a birthday present.

He just wasn't going to do it.
Ask him about it when he comes in.

Harry.

I'm going to ask you something now.
I'm not difficult to work with.
I try to do everything on time.

I'm cheerful in the office
even when depressed,
I meet deadlines... Ruth.

There are no immediate plans
to send you back to GCHQ.

Please take me seriously on this.

Something's wrong.

Red-flash the entire team.
We'll find out what's going on here,

but if they're sitting in that
meeting room in 20 minutes and we've
jeopardised an important operation,

I take back what I said about GCHQ.

You're clearly well-educated.
Are you originally from Baghdad?

I've spent a bit of time there
myself. Spying on my people.

No, actually, it was after I left
university. I went travelling around
the Middle East. How nice for you.

You'll never understand
the anger you cause.

I've had a love affair
with that part of the world
ever since I was a student.

I think I do understand it a little.

Then it's a shame
that your rulers don't.

Because it will bring
you great suffering in return.

Now stop talking so much.

PHONE RINGS

We move to another location soon.

Waiting for instructions?

I guess we're all just puppets
in the end, aren't we?

Shut up.

Nothing? Adam's phone call
was made from the South Bank. Can't
get in touch with Danny and Fiona.

We've pulled up all the CCTV footage
at the time Adam called.

Who's the girl?
And where are Danny and Fiona?

We must assume he's being held
under duress or he'd have said
what he's doing.

No sign she's got a weapon. We need
to talk to him, without her knowing.
Tricky when she's opposite him.

I've an idea but we need to act fast
before she moves him.

I'm not sure you're... It's my
unique selling point, Mr Pearce.

Young Asian males don't often work
for the security services.
Call me Harry.

Did they take away your lock-pick.
Sadly yes.

It's just, an escape attempt
when we're both shackled,
starts us off at some disadvantage.

Yes, but...

I wasn't exaggerating when I said
that I had a talent for this.

Where are we going?
You don't ask the questions.

Hello, sir. Having a good day
with your beautiful wife?
Go away, we're not interested.

Ah, come on,
it's just a few seconds.

Here's a free sample. Should
make you a little sweeter for her.
Not that your lovely lady needs it.

They're straightforward questions.

I really haven't got the time right
now. I haven't got time for this.

Adam, what's going on? Don't know.
Where are Danny and Fiona?
I can't answer that.

You'll have to bring the girl in.
They'll kill Danny and Fiona.
It's not what we thought.

I'll get pressure to bring her in
for interrogation. I'd not be
receptive to that strategy.

There's a tracking device
in the sweets. Talk to the girl.
Get us some useful information.

You haven't got unlimited time
on this.

Look, I haven't the time or patience
for this. Go away and leave us alone!

We're going to a hotel for a while.

We'll sign in as man and wife.

How ironic.

You said earlier we weren't the only
ones who can gather intelligence?

We've watched you for a while.
And listening?
I'm not under interrogation.

Another word and I'll have
the hostages killed.

When that happens
I'll not only be useless to you
I'll kill you with my bare hands.

So you see,
we're all alike in the end.

Thought you said you were good
at this? This is my party trick.

Ready?

SHE RETCHES

Guard, she's being sick!

Can someone help us, please!

Guard!

She's being sick,
it was the blow to the head.

Please can you help her?

Please?

We need his phone,
we need his phone.

Let's go.

Ruth, get a trace on this call.

GUNSHOT

Aargh!

Find the phone!

It's dead.
They must have found the mobile.

Damn it! What have we got, roughly?

An area of about five square miles
near Virginia Water.

Check recent lettings in the area.

Not now, Sam. It was left
at a police station in Surrey.

My name is Fiona Carter.

I am a British spy being held by
a group of fighters who will avenge
the blood spilled in Iraq

by America and its allies...
Get me the Security and
Intelligence Co-ordinator.

..to the presence of British troops
in Iraq.

Unless he uses this speech
to signal the immediate withdrawal
from the south of the country,

I will be burned alive
together with my spy colleague.

Let this be a warning that we can
take hostages anywhere we choose.

Obviously we won't give in
to the demand to announce
the withdrawal of troops.

Surely we should pull the PM
out of tonight's ceremonies?
That gets us what exactly?

Time. It looks like a concession.
A concession would send
all the wrong signals.

This speech is very important. As
are the lives of my two officers.

We don't allow terrorists
to change government policy, Harry.

Get Adam Carter to bring the girl
holding him in for interrogation.

Absolutely not. He's buying us time
and information. And they'd execute
the hostages immediately.

If Iraqi resistance is spreading
to these shores, that girl is
a crucial source of information.

But we must protect my officers.
They're not civilians, Harry.

I'm sorry to say this,
but it does make the moral dilemma
somewhat less acute.

Of course we'll do everything we can.

They're gonna kill us.

Have you ever read Winnie The Pooh?

Oh, when I was a kid.

I can't, I can't remember it.

I used to read the stories
to my son.

His favourite was about
Eeyore's birthday.

OK, so I'll...

Er, it's Eeyore's birthday and...

he's not exactly over the moon
because nobody's got him a present.

And, er, along comes Pooh

and he asks him
why he's so pissed off and...

Eeyore gestures around him
with his little hoof

and points out that he's got
loads of presents and a cake

with pink icing.

And when Pooh says he can't see
any cake or any presents,

Eeyore says he can't either.

It was a joke.

At least we're together, Dan.

You speak really good English.

My father was an English teacher.

My sister wanted to be a singer.

My little brother
liked English football,

he had a stammer.

But Arab lives, they mean nothing
to you unless it's a number to throw
about to win a political argument.

My brother's got a stammer.

His name's Robert. We called him
Ro-Ro because that's how he
always started saying his name.

Ro-Ro-Robert.

You're very calm
given the circumstances.

Well, they give us training.

Like with the story I just
told you about my brother.

It's true, but I was using it to
build some common ground between us.

You've ruined it by telling me that.

I guessed you'd be clever enough
to realise. Now you try flattery.

You're good.

I'll have to work on my technique.
Don't bother.

PHONE RINGS

Your wife and the other hostage
tried to escape and killed a guard.

As a result,
one of them will be executed.
And you have to choose which one.

Sam, get Harry!

I won't do that.

You can save your wife.

'They'll phone in a few minutes
for your decision.'

He won't make that choice.

We have to do something, Harry.

Please don't do this.

I don't give the orders. I can't do
anything. You can. Just tell me
where they're being held.

Adam's stalling,
trying to work on the girl.

My choices were made for me a long
time ago. I'm not talking about
politics. I'm talking about people.

When you take a life,
it's not just...

I can't stop it now anyway.

You can save your wife.

I can help you.

We can offer you terms, a new life...
PHONE RINGS

Adam?

I love you.

He only has to say one name.
You don't have to say anything.
Don't listen to this psychopath.

Choose!

You will never win.

If I'd been born somewhere else...

it might have been me
holding the gun now.

If you'd been born somewhere else,
it might have been you
sitting where I am.

For all your talk about choices...

..we don't get to choose
those things.

But I guess...

you're just unlucky
because somehow...

you've lost your humanity

and now have no kindness

or pity left in you.

But I still have those things.

Acts of hatred also produce
acts of love,

so you, my friend,

will never win.

I'm unlucky?

Look at all the cake
and presents, Fiona.

Danny, no, please don't do it.
Danny, please don't do this.

If I weren't chained to this chair,
I would be right up in your face and
you know what I'd be saying to you?

Fuck you,
you death-worshipping fascist!

And you know
what my answer would be.

Danny!

'And you know
what my answer would be.'

I'm sorry.

God, I'm so sorry!

Adam?

What's happening?

Adam, try and talk to me.

What happened?

Danny.

It's not true.
Maybe it was a mock execution.

Ruth! You've got to help me.

Tell me about the girl.

I'm still in trouble here
and so is Fiona. Come on, Ruth!

Adam, there's no more information
on her.

Adam! Adam!

KNOCK AT DOOR
What are you doing in there?

This is a tracking device.

MI5 know where we are. How?

Because I'm bloody good at my job.
Now I can be good for you.

I don't care about anything
but saving my wife.

Give the device to me. No.

We have to leave it here.
It'll buy us time if they think
we're still in the room.

There'll be people
all around the hotel, but they'll be
keeping their distance.

I can get you away from here. Do as I
say and we can both get what we want.

Come on.

You know you can trust me now.

You want us to work together?

It's just me...and you.

Where are you taking him?

Treat him with respect, at least.

You only have tears
for your own people.

You'd do better to start thinking
about who will weep for you.

I've just had a meeting
with Guy Facer.

He has rejected the terrorists'
demand that the Prime Minister
change his speech for tonight.

And Adam? We're bringing him in.
We'll interrogate the girl. But...

No buts, there's no alternative.
Terrorists do not dictate
our foreign policy.

Is Adam still at the hotel?
Good, we might have time to get
something out of her.

Our one advantage is that we know
where he is. That's thanks to you.

Dear God, Ruth, do you think
I'm happy about this?

Danny's dead.

Where's Sam? She's under sedation.
We can't be put under sedation,
can we? We've got to stay focused

and sort this out. Help Adam.
Find out where they're holding
the last hostage.

I'm relying on you, Ruth.
There'll be time to grieve later.

I promise you, there will be
time to grieve, but not now.

Now, it's not about Danny and Fiona,
but about two hostages. We can
still save the second hostage.

Are you gonna tell me
what you want from me? Your Prime
Minister is entertaining tonight.

The dinner at the Mansion House?
There'll be traitors from my country
and their American sponsors.

You'll get me in there.
It's a closed list.

Every guest is matched to a photo.
I can't do that.
I thought you were good at your job.

What will you do? You're unarmed.

That does not concern you.
You just get me in.

Hello, mate, could you get
the liaison officer for me?

Tell him it's Adam Carter. Yes, sir.

Mike. Adam.

Where is your lovely wife?

Left her doing the washing up.
You seem to have found a glamorous
replacement. This is Khatera.

I need security clearance for her.
You'd have needed security
clearance downstairs.

Your boys downstairs aren't
the sharpest tools in the box.
She's with me, just give her the nod.

You know I can't do that. Not
with the PM about to arrive and the
Iraqis and Americans already here.

This is important.

Why didn't you clear this
when we went through the list?

I didn't know then what I know now.

It's too late. I'm very sorry.
Mike...

Look, we've got our suspicions
about the background of one
of the Iraqi bodyguards.

He might have been involved
in torturing regime opponents.

Khatera's the only one who can give
a positive ID. Give me a break,
it could be a huge breakthrough.

Not possible. All credentials
have to be cleared in advance.
Who'd have cleared them? You.

So...?

Come on, Mike.

Clear.

Clear.

You owe me one, Adam.

What are they planning to do?
And why send a video with a demand
they know we'll never agree to?

Maybe we're looking at this
the wrong way round. What?

They've misdirected us from
the start. It's terrible, but it's
genius. The video's a decoy. Why?

They want the Prime Minister to go to
the Mansion House dinner. They want
us not to capitulate to terrorism.

They want us to think the only risk
is the death of the hostages.
They're going to attack the dinner.

I'm, er...

..carrying a bomb.

Where?

They put the explosives inside you?

Only a small amount.

What then...?

Enough to turn the chemicals
that have also been implanted

into a lethal gas.

Where's the detonator?

Not as defiant as your colleague,
are you?

Danny didn't face
the same kind of death.

Today, we kill your
war-criminal Prime Minister,

puppets appointed to run my country
and the Americans who control them.

I've hardly known my son.

Please don't do it like this.

When your son is older,

he'll be able to watch images of you
burning on the internet.

It's in the house, isn't it?
With whoever's holding my wife.

He kept control over it
so I couldn't change my mind. You
can't do this. It's too grotesque.

Don't come near me or I'll send
the signal that I'm ready.

You don't want to do this, Khatera.

I don't have a choice. Of course you
do. Just tell us where to find him.

I can't do that.

He hit my wife with a gun.

He murdered a young officer.

He's prepared to kill
indiscriminately.

I'm doing this for my family.

You must have loved them very much.
We only care about
the ones we love.

I think the suffering of strangers
can also move us.

Please.

Give that to me

and tell me where they're holding
Fiona. I can't.

I heard you on the phone to him.

I speak Arabic.

Asking him to show mercy to her.

The Prime Minister is arriving.

I can't let you do this.

You said you wouldn't swap your wife
for the whole world.

What? We had a bug in your house.

You were joking. And she asked
if you'd swap her for another girl.

And you said you wouldn't. Wouldn't
swap her for the whole world.

You know, the worst people
in the world are not those
who do bad things...

..but those who force others
to do them.

This is Adam Carter.
I'm in the Great Hall with the girl.

Do not let the Prime Minister
enter the building. I repeat,
stop the Prime Minister.

She should be in position by now.

Where is her signal?

Your ring. You keep turning it.

In our business, that's known as
a reveal. What does it reveal?

It's my wedding ring. I suppose
it reveals that I love my wife
more than anything else in the world.

I don't want to die.

Please...

tell me where
they're holding my wife.

Something's wrong. It's time.

Oh, God!

Oh, no!

Oh!

It's OK, it's OK, I'm here now.

Oh, no!

< Mr Pearce, over here, please.

I have to leave you
for a moment, Ruth.

I'm staying here with Danny.

Harry's had to leave us
for a moment.

I'm still here with you, Danny.

I'll stay right here with you.
