Do you remember when I was a child? You said I was scared of everything.

Now you absolutely terrify me.

Myers.

I don't care what you charge him with - tax evasion, or something -

but he won't get away with this. What'll happen to my father?

It's not for me to say. But it doesn't help the country to have big reprisals. You'll be OK.

I can't. Can't what? Have dinner again. People are laughing about it.

Sorry.

Bugs operational in all locations.

CCTV is active.

We have blanket surveillance.

The delegates are arriving.

'As leaders gather in Berkshire for the Addressing Africa summit,

'pressure groups insist that only a comprehensive trade agreement

'will have a noticeable effect on poverty.'

As British Foreign Secretary I am proud to open the Havensworth Addressing Africa summit.

This is a unique opportunity,

an opportunity to sign an agreement that will save millions of lives in Africa!

Foreign Secretary, the Havensworth summit is at risk of complete collapse. What do you mean?

At 7am, MI6 intercepted a phone call

from the US Trade Secretary Traynor Styles to the French government.

Styles told the French that recent events mean his signature

at Havensworth is no longer a certainty. What recent events?

The American mid-term elections are in a month,

the President's polling at an all-time low. Not a good time to cut American farm subsidies.

The Americans and the French are about to go

into reverse gear on just about every promise they made to you.

Twelve months of skilled diplomacy destroyed by one phone call?

It's called the American way. Well, the British way is not to give in to international bullying.

I have a deal that can deliver real benefits to millions of people.

This can be the summit that saved Africa. I'm not throwing that away.

We'd like you to give MI5 the authority to mount an operation inside Havensworth,

to deliver the agreement, in whatever way possible.

We know you want those signatures. We can help you get them.

I'd like to introduce my co-hosts at Havensworth this week, two men without whose tireless work,

cajoling and persuading our African partners to come to the table, none of us would be here.

President Manu Buffong of Guadec and the President of West Monrassa, Gabriel Sekoa.

Thank you, thank you...

President Sekoa and I come from different sides of Africa

but we come here in one cause - our continent.

President Gabriel Sekoa...

APPLAUSE Thank you. Thank you.

I'd like you to look at this.

We've scheduled the opening ceremony to start at 3pm and we hit the first editions of all the newspapers.

How's the work on the Sekoa speech?

- I'm doing a final polish now. - He's known for speaking his mind.

We've sourced this photograph.

Pretty, isn't she? But she was prettier 20 minutes before this photo was taken, when she was still alive.

She died of cholera.

Her name is Remercie Konda.

She died because her family could not afford the medication that would have saved her.

She died because her family were not able to sell cotton to their own people.

Their own countrymen, my people, chose instead to buy cheap cotton

from Alabama, subsidised by the American government.

So Remercie died.

In three days, representatives of African and G8 countries

will meet in this hotel to TRY and sign the Havensworth agreement -

a trade deal that will mean that

girls like Remercie will never again die of cholera.

My friends...

we have failed Africa before.

And everybody is expecting us to fail again.

Remercie Konda challenges us all to succeed!

How's surveillance going? Oh, the usual summit fun and games.

The CIA have blitzed the entire wing, removed all our bugs, even the one in the shower head.

The French have disabled all the cameras in their rooms,

and the Russians are drinking vodka and playing cards.

But with our friend Diaspora here...

providing they are carrying their mobile phones and pagers,

I can tell you the location of every single person staying at Havensworth.

For example, a certain Zaf Younis...

is sitting in the breakfast room.

Reading Top Gear magazine?

Well, that's almost certainly true, but otherwise not something Diaspora can confirm.

Adam wants me at Havensworth.

I thought you asked not to go.

I did.

But, er, I was overruled.

I apologise if I was insensitive before. What goes on between you and Harry is none of my business.

Nothing's going on.

We have the PR springboard we wanted.

We've started operations on the Americans and French simultaneously.

Emile Becker, French Finance Minister.

Heavily under pressure from the French farmers not to sign,

but spineless enough to give us what we want if the right pressure's applied.

US Secretary for Trade, Traynor Styles.

Styles is a different type of player entirely,

a White House insider with heavy connections to corporate America.

Secretary of State. I'm Deborah Soames, the summit organiser.

On behalf of the hotel management, welcome to Havensworth.

Styles won't bend to any pressure and has full CIA protection.

We need to hear what's being said in his room.

It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am. You too, sir.

If there's anything I can do to make your stay more comfortable, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.

Tribune for the Secretary of State.

OK.

Have you seen the papers, Foreign Secretary?

Yes. Good start, Harry. Now the hard work begins for both of us.

I'm in the mood to surprise a few people.

How about you?

Deborah Soames, summit organiser on behalf of the Havensworth hotel.

Johnny Baxter, British Government.

I've made first contact with Styles.

It won't be easy getting into the suite. We'll have to be inventive. My middle name.

I've never been in a room with so many powerful people before.

Really? I was on Blue Peter once.

I'm Aaron, by the way. Sophie.

Michelle. Hi. Nice to meet you. Both.

Coffee, gentlemen?

Er, no, thank you. My doctor says it's bad for my heart.

But what does he know? It's fair trade, of course?

Coffee, sir? Were you turned away at the door?

Yeah. Fortress America.

OK. Think differently on Styles. Focus on Becker.

Certainly, sir.

Ladies and gentlemen, the negotiating hall is now open.

On behalf of the Havensworth hotel, may I wish you all the very, very best of luck.

If you'd like to step this way...

They're entering the talks. Surveillance up and running.

Hello. I'm glad you're here.

We need your organizational skills. I got you a pass...

Er, do I need to organize a room? No, it's all arranged.

Your room.

It's your own room.

PHONE RINGS Of course. Right...

I have to take this.

Do you want to...? Sure.

Yeah?

We're willing to offer our African friends whatever assistance we can.

Flag cams are operational.

We have to consider our own farmers' interests.

Now where have I heard that before?

Adam.

I've just had a call from the DG about Ros's father.

My request for leniency's been turned down.

They're making an example of him. How many years will he get?

20, minimum. He'll be over 80 when he gets out. She'll be devastated.

Keep it to yourself. We need her focused on this operation.

PHONE RINGS

Go on. Morning recess has been called. Traynor Styles has returned to his room.

He's not feeling well, poor love.

Gabriel Sekoa has gone with him.

He's trying to make inroads on the US position.

I want to hear what they're saying. We're doing our best.

Houston, we have contact.

What can you hear? He's got the ice hockey on TV. I can't hear a thing.

Zaf, try the camera. OK. Let me know when Sekoa leaves.

Ruth, what do you have on Traynor Styles and ice hockey?

He's on the board of governors of the Kansas City Flamers. OK - get me everything on them.

Oh, and Ruth, I need 20 black kids to go to the back entrance of the hotel at midday.

We need to put pressure on the French. Right.

Sekoa is leaving Styles's suite.

Ros is making her move.

Hi, I'm Deborah Soames,

summit organiser on behalf of the Havensworth.

Secretary of State, I'm so sorry to disturb you.

I heard you were taken ill.

Er, just a bout of jetlag. I'm sure I'll soon be back at the table.

Hey, isn't that Jason Nash?

He's a great player. Never quite made the hall of fame though.

You a hockey fan? Yeah, I am.

I'm a Flamers girl. Kansas City Flamers?

Mm-hm. I spent three years in Kansas studying business management, saw every game. I'm, er...

I'm on the board of trustees.

I know you are.

You were state governor, and a very popular one, too.

Isn't this an old play-off? Yeah, it's a half hour of classic games.

It's the best I could find in this country.

Not a Kansas City game among them.

Well, on your return, be sure to give the city my love.

I will do that. How are the talks? We're all very hopeful.

As are we.

Hope is...an American invention.

So was the atom bomb, but let's not dwell on the past.

You're wasted in this country, Miss Soames. Now if you'll excuse me...

Of course.

Thank you.

Patch me into 205.

You're connected. 205?

Sorry. Go ahead. Styles isn't sick.

He's as interested in voting for the agreement as I am in joining a women's book club,

and there was something on his laptop he didn't want me to see.

Can I bum one? What do I get in return?

That's exactly the kind of attitude that threatens talks like these.

Think about spreading good will on both sides.

In other words, give me your fags for nothing, and smile while I smoke them. Right.

BEEPING Back to work. God bless the staff pager.

See ya. See ya.

This must be the delegation from Reading North Primary.

We tried watering down the wording but Styles and Becker aren't budging.

Styles has rather aggravated affairs by delivering the diplomatic equivalent of a mother's sick note.

We think Styles is conducting some extra-curricular business activity.

As for Monsieur Becker, he's about to get a little surprise.

Mr Becker.

Sorry to trouble you, sir. I have a telephone call for you.

Thank you.

If you'd like to take it through there. The phone's on your left. Thank you.

CHILDREN CHEER

Now get out of that, mon vieux. Adam.

Traynor Styles is meeting the Japanese Minister of Finance. Why would they be having a bilateral?

I doubt very much it's about Africa. Can you hear what they're saying?

He's still got the hockey on. He's using it to block us.

We have to hear their conversation.

Cut the power to that corridor.

Minister, we're safe to talk.

PHONE RINGS

'This is housekeeping.

'I'm phoning to apologise for the temporary loss of power the complex is currently experiencing.

'We're hoping to have full power restored in a matter of minutes.'

We can't risk talking here.

Er...let's take a walk.

We're late getting back to the talks so, er...

let me get right to the point.

I've spoken to my colleagues in Washington and, er, we're willing to reduce our price to $200 million.

That's one third the market value.

You have a deal, Mr Styles.

There is...a condition of sale.

What is it?

You don't sign Havensworth.

You walk out tomorrow morning, causing the summit to collapse.

We don't want to take the hit on screwing this one.

The English we need sweet for future operations.

I think the Japanese government can be the bad guys on this occasion.

Satisfactory?

Very satisfactory.

Good. Let's, er, get back to the negotiations.

Touchdown.

LOUD POP MUSIC PLAYS

The music woke me.

I've never really gone in for Europop.

Looks like you weren't sleeping at all. Nor was I. It's the Italian Trade Minister.

He's apparently a bit of a party animal.

Caused a scandal at an EU conference last year by dancing to the Macarena at the last-night banquet.

I'll get the management to ask him to turn it down.

Ruth... Good night, Harry.

Oh, Ruth!

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt."

Well, that's a really good offer.

I know we were a family then, Mum, but if we sell the house we can clear the legal fees.

Please, Mum, it'll be OK...

Look, my boss is coming. I'll call you later, OK?

Foreign Secretary? Second item on the six o'clock.

Puts Becker in a bit of a fix.

My heart bleeds for him.

Your paper, sir. Becker is clever.

My guess is Becker will stall, claiming he wants to sign but using the Americans as an excuse not to.

Meanwhile, the Japanese pull out and the summit collapses.

So it's all down to Traynor Styles.

Ros needs to find out what's on his laptop.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I have something for the Secretary of State.

Let her in.

DVD of the 1985 Stanley Cup Final. Won by the Kansas City Flamers.

I have a friend in the American Embassy who's a fan.

How's it going downstairs?

Well, these things take time.

Hmm.

I can't seem to get a picture.

Maybe the American DVD isn't compatible with the British machine.

I do hope this isn't symbolic of transatlantic relations.

Fortunately, I have an American laptop.

Nothing gets between a man and his hockey.

DVD PLAYS

This is what I call customer care.

We're in. Spy-da is uploading onto the laptop.

Were you at the game? Oh, what do you think?

I was a 35-year-old congressman, full of ambition.

The day after we won the cup my popularity rating went up 85%.

They never won it again.

Almost there, Ros.

The Spy-da's embedded. Now we need him to go online.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Enjoy.

By the way, there was a call for you at the front desk, but your line was busy, so they said they'd mail you.

Thank you.

He's going online. Downloading the information from his hard drive.

Dammit! He's gone off-line. We don't have everything.

Give us what you have.

OK, we've got 80% of the files and his inbox.

We're interested in anything to do with Japan. A big sale.

It's blocked. We need a code word.

Jo, I need the name of every Kansas City player from the last...30 years. On their way.

We can try up to 10,000 words in five seconds.

Rhienhardt. Brett Rhienhardt. MVP of the winning Flamer team of 1985 with four goals and three assists.

If my memory serves me right.

Oh, my God - Global Cordon.

What is it? It's a shopping list of American arms.

A high-tech military stockpile. And they're selling it to Japan?

No, Japan are the intermediaries. They're selling to Taiwan.

Harry.

Global Cordon.

In 2005, we received intelligence that the American government

was secretly selling arms at knockdown prices to countries which bordered with major US enemies.

Global Cordon sales were not included in any arms registers,

contravening international arms treaties and turning America into a rogue seller of weaponry.

When approached by a representative of the British Government,

Washington firmly denied that Global Cordon existed.

And now we discover it does. And it's being fronted by Traynor Styles.

The weapons for Taiwan are clearly intended for use against the Chinese.

If the Chinese Government find out, it'll be an international scandal.

Gentlemen, I think we have our bargaining chip.

For maximum impact, this needs to come from the very top.

This is James Allan. I need to speak to the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff on a secure line.

The Prime Minister called the White House at 9pm this evening

threatening to expose Global Cordon if the Americans don't sign, causing the summit to collapse.

The White House is apparently considering its response.

We have no idea if or when Washington will call Styles,

so let's monitor all incoming calls.

Well done, everyone. We've done everything we can.

In the meantime,

I suggest we all try and get some sleep.

Oh, hello. You didn't take Harry's advice either, then?

Er, no.

Drink? Yeah.

So let's say Styles tells the Japanese not to walk out tomorrow and we get our agreement.

Will it actually do any good?

All I know is if the summit fails, then men like Styles will have won

and Africa will remain the great unsolvable mystery.

You paint such a rosy future, anyone would think you were a pessimist.

You should get some sleep. So should you.

We had an offer on our family house today.

That's good. You gonna take it?

It's the only home I've ever known, but we don't exactly have a choice.

My father's brilliance has resulted in us losing everything.

And I'm still waiting to hear from Harry whether they can reduce his sentence.

I reckon he'll get seven years, be out in five.

He'll still have a life to live.

What do you think? Do you think five years sounds about right?

It sounds about right.

In the meantime, here's to insomnia.

Cheers.

PHONE RINGS

Adam, there's an incoming call from Washington DC for Traynor Styles. It's the White House.

We need to hear that conversation.

No, it's an encrypted line. There's no way of listening in. Shit.

It doesn't matter. Someone in Washington's calling Styles at 4am. Something's happening.

This could be it, Ros. Maybe the Americans are backing down.

Good morning, Mr Baxter. Morning, Mr President.

Today is indeed a momentous day.

You feeling optimistic, Mr President? I'm always optimistic.

In my line of work, and in particular in my continent,

you learn to have faith that good will win out in the end.

I expect it's the same in your profession.

The British Government is certainly looking for a positive outcome.

And you? I'm just a civil servant. Is that what they call it now?

I don't know what you mean. I just find at these summits, that nothing is quite as it seems.

- Good morning, Mr Allan. - Good morning, Mr President.

Sekoa and Becker are on their way.

No sign of the Americans or the Japanese. Where the hell are they?

Adam, Japanese, lift three. We've got them.

Morning, Minister. Are you looking forward to continuing the talks?

Very much. Morning.

Surprise, surprise, here comes Styles.

Secretary of State, I trust you slept well.

Pleasure to have you back with us, Mr Styles.

They're all in. Harry, I think we've done it. They're going to sign.

Red call. Repeat, this is a red call.

Why was I red-called? We're patching Jo in now.

MI6 have been conducting routine surveillance

of all domestic politicians in countries attending Havensworth.

They've recorded a conversation in the home of Solomon Kabate,

a leading opposition politician in West Monrassa. Sekoa's country.

"We should prepare for an immediate seizure of power.

"If the Havensworth Operation is successful, with Sekoa dead there will be no way to stop us."

The Havensworth Operation.

What reason would they have for killing Sekoa? He's the future.

There may be certain people in Africa who don't want the future.

But why kill him here? Pour encourager les autres.

Maximum publicity will ensure that no African president lifts his head above the parapet again.

Ruth, get MI6 to find Kabate. We need to know what he knows.

Authorise extraordinary procedures. Round up all West Monrassan dissidents currently in the UK.

That's not possible. Word would get out that something was wrong.

That's just what James Allan doesn't want. This could be a hoax aimed at stalling the agreement.

OK then, let's screen all staff - interpreters, NGO's, press, anyone within the complex. We've done it.

Do it again. Check for any connection to West Monrassa.

Let's call a recess. I'll talk to James Allan. Adam, talk to Sekoa.

Talk to the President. Keep everyone calm.

We have to keep this summit alive. I expect to have a signed deal - I want a press conference at 5 o'clock.

No press conference. It's too risky.

But the publicity we can garner...!

Foreign Secretary, I am authorised by Her Majesty's Government

to protect all attendants at Havensworth.

There will be no press conference.

Mr President. Good morning. I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

Sorry. Johnny Baxter, MI5. I need to speak to you privately.

I'm due back into the talks soon. Couldn't this wait until later?

It can't. Excuse me.

Any news from MI6 on Kabate? No, not yet. Harry, I need to...

Is the complex fully secure? 'We're water-tight, sir.' You were saying?

I think there's a connection between Styles and the assassination.

PHONE RINGS Harry Pearce. To close the summit now would be a grave error.

We're just completing the deal.

What connection?

I've been going through Styles's files for more connections to Taiwan.

There aren't any. But there is a file on West Monrassa.

What does it say? I can't open it. It hadn't finished downloading.

We need to get into the West Monrassa file.

We need Styles to go back online.

We're upping security to the highest level and we've checked everyone present. Thank you.

But we cannot guarantee your safety as we have no direct intelligence on whoever is planning this.

PHONE RINGS Excuse me.

Yes? The voice on the tape. Solomon Kabate. He's gone AWOL.

MI6 can't find him. We need to meet - now. OK.

Good news? Not exactly, no.

We need to move you to a new room and we'll give you an armed guard. No, no, no, no. No armed guard.

If I walk around here with bodyguards at my shoulders, then I am publicising my fragility.

No, no, no, no. You do your job, I do mine.

Excuse me.

Styles and Sekoa are involved in negotiations connected with Global Cordon.

We're trying to get the file. Harry?

Solomon Kabate flew here for one night last week.

Now, he arrived at Gatwick on the Sunday evening.

Then he travelled into Victoria.

This is him entering Stripes wine bar just outside the station.

He came from Africa to meet somebody in a wine bar? He never came out again.

Three hours later, we have footage of him back at Gatwick, flying home.

Call the bar. Styles is going on-line.

I'm downloading the Sekoa file.

Hi, um, is that the manager of Stripes wine bar?

I'm really sorry. I just think my husband may be having an affair...

Agent. What the hell's that?

I dread to think.

What is clear is that Sekoa is being nurtured

as the first line of defence against the "Islamic threat" in Central Africa.

Is that why somebody is trying to kill him? Er, I'm sorry...

It's just my husband would always go out on Sunday evenings and one Sunday I followed him to outside your bar.

But, um, could he have left with someone through a fire exit at the back, or...?

Only if he was with a member of staff.

Do you use agency staff?

What agency do you use?

I need to change every member of agency staff.

'Will all agency staff please proceed...' What's going on?

Standard security drill, apparently. Don't worry - we get paid full whack.

Now that's a result! 'All agency staff to meeting point...'

20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25...

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to say that we have reached a consensus and that the Havensworth agreement

will be signed by all parties at a specially arranged press conference this afternoon.

Exchange of staff's complete. Zaf left on the bus with them.

As long as we can keep Sekoa under wraps, everything should be fine.

A shame then that the Foreign Secretary has just announced a full press conference to sign the deal.

I thought you told him... I did.

My position is compromised if senior figures do not respect my views!

Harry, everything will be fine. You've taken every measure...

And you've ignored them! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

I am aware that anyone about to launch a bid to be the next Prime Minister needs serious publicity.

I just hope you end up with the right kind of front-page story.

They are about to sign the agreement

which will end subsidies of European and American agriculture and liberate economies throughout Africa.

We vetted every journalist and photographer, but I want this to be the quickest photo-call in history.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

PHONE RINGS Yes.

We've been looking at the staff swap and there's something I don't like.

Two phones seem to walk together from the third floor to the coach.

Friends? Too close. I suspect the phones are on the same person,

which would mean someone is missing. Who? I'm about to find out.

Wait. ..Zaf.

I've just got off the coach. The waitress I met earlier, she's not here.

Name? Michelle Lopez. Hang on. Jo?

Yeah. The two phones belonged to two waitresses, Sophie Brewster and...

Michelle Lopez.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

PHONE RINGS Yes?

Adam, she made the switch on the 2nd floor.

Zaf, check the staff quarters.

Ros, stop all waiter and bar staff entering.

Seal off the main building. Get CCTV for every face.

'All waiters and bar staff are sealed off from the media centre.'

We would now like to accept questions from the floor,

after which there will be an opportunity for photographs.

Get me James Allan.

No-one has worked harder for this than the British and American governments. Thank you.

No, the press conference must continue.

Get him to leave quietly?

(Mr President...)

Patch me into Adam and Ros. Patching you in now.

She's not in her waitress uniform. She's not in her waitress uniform.

Ros, get ready to cause a distraction.

Now.

Terribly sorry, gentlemen. Really sorry.

Close call. Too close.

Where is she now? My senior operative is about to speak to her, then we'll hand her over to the police.

Who is she? Michelle Lopez. Arrived in this country from Trinidad in 1994,

went to Liverpool University, studied Politics,

became a lawyer specialising in asylum, up until two years ago.

Been doing odd jobs since then. We can trace no connection with West Monrassa.

How do you know Solomon Kabate?

You met him in a bar in Victoria ten days ago and told him you were planning to assassinate Sekoa.

If it hadn't been for you, I would have.

She has no family here, and no record of any family in Trinidad.

There's nothing behind her identity at all.

You think she's not real? Mmm.

My family comes from the north of the country,

the home of the opposition.

Gabriel Sekoa does not like opposition.

OK, Ruth, contact immigration.

Get the names of every young woman who came from West Monrassa in 1994.

Why would you want to kill somebody who isn't even from your own country?

You leave a successful career as a lawyer,

you get a job as an agency waitress, you get a job here in the summit.

You must have been planning this for a long time.

12 years.

12 years?

Baptiste Kadala.

Born in 1977.

Your father was George Kadala, a journalist who was killed in a plane accident in 1994

along with his wife, your mother.

You came to London in March 1994 and disappeared shortly afterwards.

In May 1994, Michelle Lopez first came into existence.

It wasn't an accident. What wasn't? The plane crash.

It was shot down. Have you got any proof of that?

Hundreds of millions of pounds of government money had been siphoned

into Gabriel Sekoa's personal bank account.

My father was about to publish evidence when his plane went down.

And you came here.

I came here to escape.

I changed my identity.

I was 16.

And 12 years later you tried to kill him for revenge?

Not just revenge.

Last year Gabriel Sekoa's army started to forcibly remove people from their villages in the north

to a huge shanty town outside of Beauville, the biggest city in the north.

There's no food, no sanitation, nothing.

I believe Gabriel Sekoa is going to attempt a genocide.

He has gathered the northern population into one city to make the operation simpler and easier.

He is planning to kill my people.

How could Sekoa get away with an operation like that?

Now he has signed the Havensworth agreement, he is an African hero. He can do what he wants.

You people don't understand countries like mine.

Don't you see what you've done?

This summit has given him everything he ever wanted. Respect.

Recognition.

So when in a month's time when he kills my friends...

my family...

you won't lift a finger.

You'll brush it under the carpet like you always do.

Put out a press release.

Express concern. And do nothing!

Like you always do!

Do you have a family? A wife, children?

Imagine if they were yours.

Stay with her.

Congratulations, Mr Baxter.

Thank you, sir. Would you excuse us for a second?

Please. Can I have a word?

Baptiste Kadala claims Sekoa is about to attempt a genocide on his own people.

And you believe her? She was prepared to die to make her point.

I want to know if Traynor Styles' deal with Sekoa has any connection with her allegations.

I want to find out what Styles knows.

How? I'm going to write to him.

We'll need to hack into Styles' secure messenger service, which is tricky to pull off.

We should be OK if I can analyse the codes from the last downloads in time. Malcolm. Can you do it?

Give me ten minutes. Thank you.

Planes and biological agents.

Sekoa's using Global Cordon airpower to attack his own people.

The American military have a variety of gases

and biological agents that could be used to decimate specific targets.

In the shanty towns, a biological weapon sprayed from an aeroplane could kill hundreds of thousands.

And no-one would ever know the source.

That's why it was so important to get the Havensworth deal.

The Americans won't touch him because they're implicated through Global Cordon

and we won't because he's in the Havensworth photograph next to our foreign secretary.

James Allan will want proof. We can't afford to wait for proof. Sekoa's leaving tomorrow morning.

Adam.

Adam!

Mr Sekoa!

MI5. May I speak to you?

I've been asked by the British Government

to give you a full summary of what took place this evening.

We arrested and interrogated the potential assassin.

Her name is Baptiste Kadala.

Do you know her?

No. Who is she?

She's the daughter of a journalist who died in a plane crash 12 years ago.

He claimed to have evidence that you were laundering public money into private accounts.

She believes you killed him.

Utter nonsense. I've never even heard of the man.

She's clearly a highly delusional young woman, but that makes her all the more dangerous.

For example, she seems to believe that you're planning to attack the people in the north of your country.

Well, as you say, she is clearly delusional.

Excuse me a second.

Well, er, Mr Baxter, I appreciate all you've done.

Thank you.

Have you received any messages of congratulation?

No. Should I have?

Not even from Global Cordon?

President Sekoa has just filed an official complaint of harassment

against government officer Johnny Baxter.

He would have gone public with a press conference,

pulling out of the Havensworth agreement, citing racist and patronising behaviour

by our intelligence services, except that I have offered him uninhibited movement within the hotel.

Tomorrow morning he will be given a private helicopter from the hotel to the nearest airport.

Any of you go anywhere near him, you're out of a job. Is that clear?

Sekoa is planning a genocide against his own people.

Do you have any proof of that accusation?

You're letting him get away with mass murder.

So what if I am?!

Our PM told me to get a high-profile deal at this summit. I have a deal.

And you are not stopping it!

Is that what Havensworth is about?

Damn right that's what it's about!

Do you think this summit is actually going to change Africa? Dream on.

That continent is nothing but an economic albatross around our necks,

a continent of genocidal maniacs living in the dark ages.

Havensworth is about garnering a bit of decent PR, getting ageing rock stars off our back

and granting the opportunity to give our prime minister a decent send-off.

As well as putting yourself in the front line to take over.

Harry, you will disband the MI5 presence here forthwith.

'As delegates prepare to leave, the Havensworth summit has been declared the most successful for years.

'Amongst the many representatives of G8 and African nations,

'special praise was singled out for the West Monrassan president Gabriel Sekoa,

'seen as the chief architect of what many are calling an historic agreement. After nearly 40...'

I suggest we go somewhere where no-one can hear us.

Solomon Kabate is a very good man.

It was he who brought to my attention what is going on in the north of his country. In Beauville.

The planned massacre?

The African continent suffers a terrible affliction.

Men like Gabriel Sekoa. But for every rogue leader in Africa,

there are 20 decent governments trying to make the best of an impossible situation.

We are being held up by Western governments

who constantly use the excuse of poor African self-governance to justify not reducing their own subsidies.

We had to have this agreement.

Sekoa was the talisman. He was essential.

But he had to be stopped.

You knew.

You knew that they were... He has to be stopped.

It is in your power, Mr Baxter.

Take this.

It may help you.

Harry, how can we let him get away with this? He's a mass murderer.

We've completed our operation. End of story. Not necessarily.

We have a weapon we've completely forgotten about.

What? Not what - who.

Baptiste Kadala wanted to be a martyr for her country.

She was prepared to kill to save her people.

Let's give her the chance to do it.

We give her back her weapon, give her a means of escape and let her complete her operation.

That's state-sponsored terrorism. You have no evidence that... I do.

Classified West Monrassan government files detailing the military campaign against Beauville.

Where did you get this?

I'd rather not divulge that.

The date of the campaign is next week. Sekoa was just waiting for Havensworth to give him support.

I could pass it on to James Allan...

Or you could just put it straight in the shredder. Save him the trouble.

Allan knows we're holding Baptiste.

If we make a move without his mandate, we could be prosecuted for murder.

That wouldn't just threaten the existence of this unit,

that would risk everything.

Then find a way to neutralise Allan.

Come on, Harry! Sekoa's helicopter leaves in an hour.

Look, we set Baptiste free.

We follow her. We get to her just too late to save Sekoa's life.

Baptiste gives herself up, she gets a life sentence,

her people get a new government and in 15 years we release her to a hero's welcome in her home country.

We are officers of the state. We do not make moral or political judgments. We do not play god.

What god will save these people? PHONE RINGS

Yes!

I've got the MI6 file on Baptiste Kadala's parents' plane crash.

Go on. The plane did have damage consistent with a missile attack.

MI6 kept it quiet because at the time Sekoa was deemed to be "a good thing".

I want no-one else involved. The next hour never happened.

I'm here to offer you a deal.

APPLAUSE

We'd like you to have this in your possession when you're arrested.

What is it? It's an accident report on your parents' plane crash.

It confirms that a missile caused the plane to come down.

Thank you.

You need to go now.

I won't let you down.

Might I have a word, Foreign Secretary? This had better be important.

I have to warn you that Baptiste Kadala has escaped our detention.

Well, find her. We have no idea where she is.

Well, do something. What do you suggest?

For my people.

SCREAMING

Clear the area! Clear the area!

Move away! I said move away!

Stay down! Stay down! Stay down!

She's unarmed.

She's unarmed!

She's unarmed! She's unarmed!

She's under control, she's under control! OK, calm down.

Stand up slowly.

Keep your hands up above your head.

Very slowly, very slowly.

She's disarmed.

She's under control. OK?

Everyone stay calm.

Lower your weapons.

Suspect is armed. Shoot her.

She has no weapon, she has no weapon!

NO!

NO!

I said she had...

I said she had no weapon!

No!

No!

I SAID SHE HAD NO WEAPON!

Gabriel Sekoa will be buried tomorrow in the West Monrassan capital.

He will receive a state funeral with full honours.

Our prime minister will attend along with other world leaders in a show of support to the whole of Africa.

It wasn't necessary to kill her.

That woman could have held us to ransom for the next 30 years!

Someone had to take control of the chaos of your creation!

I will, of course, be commissioning a full inquiry.

The report's findings are likely to incriminate you and your unit.

I anticipate your position becoming untenable.

Well, when you do that, just bear in mind the following.

'You're letting him get away with mass murder.

'So what if I am?!

'Our PM told me to get a high-profile deal at this summit. I have a deal.

'And you are not stopping it! Is that what Havensworth is about, Foreign Secretary?

'Damn right that's what it's about.

'Do you think this summit is actually going to change Africa? Dream on.

'That continent is nothing but an economic albatross around our necks,

'a continent of genocidal maniacs living in the dark ages...'

I'm proud to say our surveillance techniques at Havensworth were second to none.

Congratulations, everyone.

The...Prime Minister wishes to pass on his thanks for a highly professional three days

and I would like you to know that no blame is being attached to you for the killing of President Sekoa.

Any inquiry that takes place will be conducted in a sensitive and understanding manner.

'The Prime Minister described the assassination of Gabriel Sekoa as a deliberate attempt by terrorists

'to derail the Havensworth trade agreement.

'He insisted Havensworth will be seen as the moment the Western world embraced the need to help Africa.

'In West Monrassa itself, the news of President Sekoa's death has caused a popular uprising in the north

'with opposition parties demanding free and fair elections.

'In Washington, US trade secretary Traynor Styles is now favourite

'to become the new American ambassador to the United Nations.

'Styles' pivotal diplomatic role in the Havensworth Agreement

'is seen as a key factor in his growing popularity. Council tax in England is set to increase...'

You said you could help.

YOU said you could reduce his sentence. Ros, I said I'd try. 20 years!

20 years, Harry!

It wasn't possible. I'm sorry.

He'll be 83 for Christ's sake!

He'll probably die in there.

When did you find this out? Just before the summit began. And you didn't tell me?

The sensitive nature of your work is... You lied!

You knew all along you could do nothing and you lied to me!

That's not true.

Did you tell Adam?

How dare you? How dare either of you treat me with such contempt?!

What is this? The old boys club?

Keep everything from the new girl in case she can't cope.

That is not the case. Well, what then?!

What right do you have to make judgments on my personal life?

Your own isn't exactly a shining example, is it?

The fact that your own existence is a walking disaster zone

does NOT give you the right to make judgments on other people's!

Er, hi.

Hi.

I, er, I just wanted to say...

about Ros...

..that you were right.

It isn't your fault, Harry.

Thank you.

Good night.

HE DIALS NUMBER

NUMBER RINGS

Hello?

Hello, mate. Er, listen, I'm in the airport

and I can't decide between the big present and the little present.

The big one!

I thought you'd say that. Er...

can you tell Jenny I'll be back in about an hour?

OK. Bye.

Bye.

I love you.

Is there a problem?

Yes, Ruth. I think there is.

I will sort this out. I've seen it done, Harry, too many times.

We've done it to too many people.

You're covering for someone. We should be looking for Ruth Evershed.

It was just a small part of that plan. Ruth's been arrested.

She's been charged with murder.

I will kill you. You have no idea what you've got yourself into.
