"Tariq was trawling CCTV when he died, looking for our laptop thief." "If that's why he was killed, we need to know." "Someone was monitoring him." "Harry loves you, doesn't he?" "I have no idea how to answer that question." "I have not been running Elena." "Someone is posing as me." "Bullshit." "We know the Americans don't want this partnership to happen." "CIA murder of a Russian politician on British soil..." "You want me to investigate a senior CIA agent?" "He's the one posing as me." "Am I unable to free you from Harry's tentacles?" "Well, I'd have to free myself." "I don't think you have to give everything." "You can have a normal life and do this." "I have to believe that." "She's a deniable asset for the Central Intelligence Agency." "If she's working for Coaver, he wasn't just behind the hit on Gavrik." "He's responsible for stealing our intel." "The CIA killed Tariq." "Why should I fear?" "Why should I fear?" "When was I less by dying?" "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead." "Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord." "They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah." "I want you to be clear about the choices you are making." "I am." "We've got a mission." "Shahid." "You understand what that means, right?" "Yeah." "Martyrdom." "Peanut butter for you, and Marmite for Mummy." "That's Marmite." "Oh." "Silly Mummy." "Mum!" "I need to get going." "Love you." "Big kiss for you!" "I love you!" "I love you too, Mummy." "Thank you." "Everything's ready." "Yes." "Inshallah." "What about the woman?" "She'll be taken care of too." "Quick briefing." "We all know Jim Coaver, CIA, has been posing as me in order to mine information from Elena Gavrik." "We also believe he's responsible for the attempted hit on Ilya Gavrik, the theft of our intel, and Tariq's death." "Why would he do it?" "The US would love our partnership with the Russians to fail." "Overt diplomatic pressure would get messy." "Better a black op to destabilise the process - send the Russians packing, and have us running back into the American's arms." "I'm highly agnostic about this deal with the Russians anyway, but if the CIA think they can kick us around like some banana republic, they've another thing coming." "What can we do?" "We're going to need hard proof." "We need incontrovertible evidence before we take it upstairs." "Ruth is planning how we'll get it." "The rest of you, business as usual." "I just wanted you to know what we're up against." "So, it's the five of us against the CIA." "Well, all for one and one for all." "Zubeir al-Saad." "He's been radicalising inmates at Eastland prison since he was first put there for inciting hatred against non-Muslims." "Been converting young men by the score." "Preparing the most capable for Jihad." "If my antennae are functioning correctly," "I detect a vague hint of criticism of prisons policy." "A literal captive audience of marginalised vulnerable young men." "We've put him in a cage with 900 of them." "His very own finishing school for extremists." "I know, I know." "But what can we do?" "Let him go free?" "If I overturned his conviction he'd be out there ranting on the streets." "A gift to the far right." "A PR nightmare with the Muslim world." "It's a no-win." "I get rather a lot of those." "As for our intelligence-sharing talks with the Russians later this morning, let's make this one a tad less sharey, eh?" "Lost visual." "Thought we'd lost you." "High-security prison hasn't exactly helped my paranoia." "I had to make sure I wasn't being followed." "What have you got for us?" "My daughter, have you?" "We're still working on getting her over here, Ashur." "I've been in Eastland for two years." "And these things take time." "I need to know she is safe!" "Safe here... that was the deal." "Nothing's changed." "Help us and we get your daughter." "We have people looking out for her." "She's safe." "You have no idea what these people are capable of, do you?" "I know these people, I lived alongside them." "They have one purpose." "Killing." "They think they love God, but they only love death." "That's why we need you to tell us what's going on." "We were told to prepare for Shahid." "So an attack is going ahead?" "We're to be martyrs." "We're to blow ourselves up." "But not for Allah." "For al-Saad." "It won't come to that." "If you're in any danger we will pull you immediately." "We need details, Ashur." "I don't have any." "We're waiting to hear from our handler with instructions." "He's due to call at midday." "What's his name?" "OK, we need to find out who it is, who's running this operation from the outside." "Once we have that, we can get you out of there." "Ashur, this pen contains a hidden transmitter." "If there's any problems, we'll know." "It's also a tracking device." "We'll be moments away." "This will be over very soon." "Then you'll be reunited with your daughter." "I promise." "Ashur?" "Thank you." "A face we're all familiar with." "Zubeir al-Saad." "UK citizen." "Trained in Al-Farouq in Afghanistan." "Spent some time in Chechnya where he started training suicide bombers." "Then tried to set up a franchise at Hale End mosque." "Shares al-Qaeda's ideology." "Apparently he was incensed by Bin Laden's death." "Like thousands of others with al-Qaeda membership." "Now he also has a personal grudge because we've refused his request for a second appeal." "We have confirmation that he plans to use former prisoners to carry out an attack in London." "We've identified one prisoner." "We've watched Mani Jones for a while." "Linked to the BNP in the past, but converted to Islam two years ago." "He was radicalised in Eastland by Saad and has been primed for martyrdom." "He was released today." "He's holed-up in a flat with our asset, Ashur Mohali." "Ashur Mohali was picked up just over two years ago, working illegally in London." "We discovered he was a university lecturer in Pakistan who, unfortunately for him, was related to a senior member of al-Qaeda." "An association that's made him a very useful asset." "The deal was he'd be our eyes and ears in Eastland and in return we'd give him residency, and get his daughter out of Pakistan." "He was also released this morning and warned us that an attack was imminent." "What details do we have?" "Ashur and Mani expect a call from their handler at midday." "Which indicates it will take place sometime today." "If it is scheduled for today, then someone out there has explosives - presumably the handler." "We're monitoring all Ashur and Mani's known associate." "Keep looking into candidates for our handler." "Calum and I will take over surveillance on the flat." "Bit counter-productive... giving al-Saad his own taxpayer-funded training camp?" "Why, what would you do, genius?" "3% of the UK's population is Muslim." "In our prisons, it's 11%." "I'd take a look at that first." "Ruth, how are we progressing with Mohali's daughter?" "Harry's talking to the Home Office." "They're being typically difficult." "Red tape." "Maybe a direct appeal to the Home Secretary?" "Me?" "He'd be more responsive if you speak to him." "Maybe." "For once, I'd like to fulfil the promises we've made to someone who's risking their life for us." "Sorry, man." "It's OK." "That your daughter?" "She's cute as." "Can I see?" "That's cool." "She looks happy." "Her sixth birthday." "My brother used to smile like that too." "Big wide open mouth, like a clown at a funfair." "She means everything to me." "Yeah, I bet." "Your family know you're out?" "Tried to call my little bro before we left, but he hung up on me." "My mum doesn't like him speaking with me." "She's kind of brainwashed him." "They don't want me in their life." "What can you do?" "Just the way it is." "When it comes down to it, you'll be sure why you're doing it then?" "I, er..." "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead." "'Nay, they live, 'finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.'" "They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah." "Paradise, man, that's why I'm doing it." "All them virgins!" "Anything's got to be better than this bullshit, right?" "So, what was you inside for?" "They suspected me of being al-Qaeda." "No shit?" "That is cool, man!" "'How comes you never told me you were such a gangster before?" "'" "Have you asked the Home Secretary about Mohali's daughter yet?" "Not today, no." "Maybe I can push him after our meeting." "Erin's quite insistent." "And rightfully so, I think." "Maybe I could have a word?" "As you wish." "I think I've figured out a way to get the proof against Jim Coaver." "Tell me it's clean and simple." "We'd need Elena." "And Sasha too." "Ruth!" "Am I not seeing you and Harry with our Russian friends shortly?" "Yes." "I just wanted a word in private first." "Well, the preparations for your transfer are all set this end." "Actually, this isn't about your offer." "I haven't had a chance to tell him yet." "Oh." "Well, in your own time." "I wanted to speak to you about Ashur Mohali, our asset inside the al-Saad operation." "It's about his daughter - we're trying to get her resident status." "Well, the paperwork seems to have been forgotten in someone's in-tray while he's risking his life for us." "We'll see how this thing pans out." "That wasn't the agreement." "He's been our asset for two years." "If it's a positive outcome, I'll finish the paperwork." "That's politics, Ruth." "You'll learn quickly." "It's a complex game." "Shall we?" "So, exactly how do you start sharing a lifetimes' secrets?" "You go first." "Gentlemen, we're gathered here in the spirit of a forward-looking alliance." "Let's leave our misgivings and uncharitable preconceptions back in the '80s, shall we?" "You're right, Home Secretary." "If we want this friendship to succeed..." "And we all do." "We must put the past behind us, and see how we can assist each other now and in the future." "But first, I have a question." "Do the Americans know we are discussing intelligence-sharing?" "No." "Contrary to common perception, we do manage our own affairs." "Why do you ask, Ilya?" "I can't imagine they'd be pleased." "Let's not worry about Uncle Sam." "He's too busy pondering over the trillions he owes the Chinese." "Of course." "So, let's talk." "Who do the FSB think killed JFK?" "The CIA and the Mafia." "I thought everyone knew that." "Patience." "Yeah, think I got bored waiting in line when God was dishing that out." "You know..." "Shahid." "It doesn't necessarily have to mean martyrdom." "They've stopped praying." "'The Prophet says himself - "I would love to be martyred" "'"in Allah's Cause".'" "What the hell's he doing?" "Trying to talk him out of it." "That's not his job." "Maybe he thinks it is." "'He said that at a time of war the Prophet had to fight.'" "But, as soon as he felt his people were safe, he devoted his attention to spreading peace." "Mani, killing... violates some of the Holy Book's most sacred precepts." "The Koran states that it is far more meritorious 'to forgo revenge in a spirit of charity...'" "Careful, Ashur." "'than to slay your enemy.'" "But Jihad?" "Muhammad tells his companions as they return home after a battle," ""We are returning from the lesser Jihad" ""to the greater Jihad"." "The far more urgent and momentous task of removing wrongdoing from one's own heart." "I'm hungry." "We have common threats." "It's clear we can benefit by cooperating as we move forward." "The question is, do we want to go back?" "Share archives?" "Come on, Ilya, we'd be wading through skeletons for years to come." "Excuse me, I have to take this." "Unless you'd like me to pop it on speakerphone?" "No, that won't be necessary." "For now." "Well, perhaps we should leave it there." "I do think it's been very productive indeed." "My mother's driver is picking her up from Regent Street in half an hour, so make this quick." "We're a little pushed for time ourselves." "We need your help with Jim Coaver." "I thought you were taking care of that." "The CIA want to destroy the partnership between our two countries before it's even signed... they're even prepared to kill." "This is an attack on both our nations." "What would you need from us?" "Is Jim Coaver still contacting you as Harry?" "Yes." "There was another message last week." "Good." "He thinks his cover's intact." "Reply saying you've realised someone's trying to stop the deal... that they've killed agents on both sides." "Tell him you know who it is, you're frightened, and you want to meet." "Why?" "Jim Coaver will think that you're trying to tell Harry that he's behind the attacks." "He'll want to kill her." "Thus proving his guilt." "Which is why we'd like you there, Sasha, to protect your mother." "No!" "I won't let you use her as bait." "Sasha, this is not your decision." "As you say, he is working against all of us." "I will send the message." "We have to go." "Dimitri?" "A small-time arms dealer on our radar just got picked up." "He's admitted to selling RDX high explosive to a friend of al-Saad's... 'a former inmate from Eastland.'" "He must be the handler." "Tell Erin now." "Got a car approaching." "Diplomatic plates. 459 Delta 863." "Running through the DVLA database." "They're unregistered." "Is it him?" "Is it Coaver?" "Can't tell." "It's too far away." "Shit." "There's a woman approaching the car." "It's the woman from the reception." "She's leaving." "Wait, wait, wait." "He's moving off." "Steady, Sasha." "We have to let him show his hand." "Ruth, can you see him?" "No." "Negative ID." "He's leaving." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "Sasha!" "Coaver sent her to kill you." "Oh, he's getting a phone call." "This could be it." "Come on, Ashur, don't let me down." "Hello." "Yes." "OK." "30 minutes." "We're meeting them outside." "Half an hour." "You OK?" "You know, you don't have to do this." "I understand, you've got your daughter." "You don't have to either." "This is what I've got." "For the first time, I feel like there's some..." "I don't know... some higher purpose." "Things make sense, you know." "I'm going to get clean." "He's ditching the transmitter." "He's running." "We need to get him to meet the handler." "It might be our only chance of finding the target." "I'm going after him." "I wasn't running, you know." "I just wanted to feel the sun on my face." "Feel what freedom is like." "It's been a long time." "The boy..." "Mani." "It breaks my heart, kids like that." "They're always kids like that." "They're fed so many lies about Islam." "They mistake the attention they get from the likes of al-Saad as some kind of... fatherly love." "They think Shahid gives them a purpose." "He has a good heart." "He doesn't deserve to die." "He won't, but we need you to stay with us." "Or it'll just be another kid who al-Saad gets to." "I fear what is going to happen." "No matter what I do, I keep coming back to this same place, getting caught up in this same... lunacy." "Maybe it is my destiny." "Maybe I just can't escape it." "Hold on, Ashur." "Wait for the handler." "Nobody's going to die today." "'Erin, you'd better get him back quick before Mani notices he's gone.'" "That's better." "I feel re-charged." "Ready to roll?" "The minders are here." "Report." "They're on the move." "They're off to meet their handler." "Alpha Two, I need you here." "I'm on my way." "You're my ears." "They're going on cleaning routes." "They could be onto us." "Something's up with Ashur's feed." "It's not the pen." "They must have some kind of scrambler." "They've just gone into a yard under the arches." "Ashur's signal's being scrambled." "Belt and braces." "They'll be getting the details of the attack." "Eastland is crawling with spies." "For all I know, you're spies too." "This woman was seen arriving three times in the last year." "She's MI5." "I can't trust you." "The plan's changed." "My daughter!" "This has nothing to do with our families, man!" "The Koran states..." "The killing of bystanders is religiously justified in Jihad." "The prophet says, "Go forward in the name of Allah." ""Do not kill an elderly person, a small child, a woman..."" "Al-Saad would never have agreed to this!" "There was no way we were going to back out!" "And we ain't spies neither." "We're carrying out God's work!" "I will not allow anything to undermine this operation." "Do you understand?" "Complete this mission or his daughter will die." "Do we pull them now?" "No, we hold back." "Suicide bombers usually detonate within three hours of meeting their handlers." "We need to keep him in." "We need the explosives or they can switch bombers and go ahead with the attack." "Ashur and Mani aren't going to be privy to that information." "The handler, I presume." "It's got to be." "They're splitting up." "Stay with Ashur and Mani." "I'll take the handler." "Receiving Alpha Five's images." "Let's see if he's on Facebook." "He's heading into the station." "Keep your distance." "Calum, what have you got?" "Anthony Rashaida." "UK citizen." "Parents, Sudanese immigrants." "Trained in Al-Farouq." "'Thought to be involved in several recent suicide bombings in Karachi.'" "We weren't watching him?" "Hasn't been seen here since 2000." "He must have snuck in under the radar." "Alpha One, looks like they're heading back to the flat." "Let's see where Mr Rashaida takes us." "Shit, I've lost him." "Got him!" "I think he's seen me." "Turning left into Melwood Lane." "'Erin?" "Are you OK?" "'" "I'm fine." "Redflash from Six in Karachi." "Ashur's daughter's been kidnapped." "What?" "!" "They were supposed to be watching her!" "They're getting into a car." "I'm not sure they're returning to the flat." "They're going the wrong way." "Targets are not going to the flat." "I'm tracking the car through the pen transmitter." "I've lost the signal." "Alpha One, I'm not sure Ashur Mohali's still with us." "Anthony Rashaida, the handler, disappeared on London Wall Street." "Ashur Mohali, our agent, we think he's been compromised." "His daughter's kidnapped - maybe leverage for him to complete the mission." "They swapped cars in a multi-storey car park." "I'm still trying to trace them." "The face-recog's rolling on CCTV but we're coming up with nothing." "Do everything you can." "We're running out of options." "The attack could happen at any minute." "Where are these people?" "So what is it with you guys and this "hanging out" by the river?" "Now, I know you've been looking into me, Ruth." "Way back, too." "And I want to know, why?" "Shit." "It was a favour to Harry." "What the hell does he think I'm up to?" "Arming Cornish separatists?" "He's been betrayed too many times." "He's... he's seeing enemies everywhere." "He begged me to look into you." "And all I found out was that you two were friends." "You trusted each other." "I felt sorry for him." "You're the one person he could always rely on, and now..." "I'm just another monster under the bed, huh?" "Yeah." "I've seen that happen to a lot of good people." "But I wouldn't call the men in white coats just yet." "Berlin wasn't all wine and roses." "Do you see the file on Treptower Park?" "There was no file on what happened in Treptower Park." "But Harry told me." "I would never have done it." "I hope he knows that." "I don't shoot my friends." "Family maybe, but not my friends." "I don't know what he told you, but he was out of control." "Attempting to extract a top-level asset, without a shred of authorisation." "A KGB officer's wife, for Christ's sake." "He was endangering multiple operations." "And all because he'd knocked up Elena and felt bad about it." "I had to stop him." "You were doing him a favour." "He didn't see it like that then." "So, stop digging up my backyard, Ruth." "I thought the Brits were meant to be more polite." "Ruth." "Harry." "I have the proof you need." "It's him." "Hello?" "It's me." "Listen, don't hang up." "Where's Mum?" "Is she there?" "A call to Mani Jones's brother's phone." "Unknown number." "Find the location of that call!" "Just listen to me." "Please, please just don't hang up, yeah." "This is important!" "I'm triangulating position." "Got the location." "Kenlow Rise, Forest Gate." "Get Erin and Dimitri there." "No more chances, we hit them now." "You called someone, didn't you?" "Who were you talking to?" "Ashur!" "Get down here, now!" "Believe me, I never called anyone." "What's going on?" "They've been onto us from the very beginning." "Following our every move!" "You've been tailed from the moment you left prison." "Which one of you is MI5?" "I know one of you is!" "Security services!" "No!" "Get a move on if you want your daughter to live!" "Go!" "Now!" "Mani's been shot." "I need an ambulance immediately." "Mani." "Mani, I need you to help us." "You're going to be all right." "I'm sorry, Mum." "OK, now look at me." "Just stay with me." "Run!" "Alpha Two, you OK?" "They got away." "Ashur took me out." "Please, please, help him." "Ash..." "Ashur." "His little daughter." "Control, where the hell is that ambulance?" "Two minutes away." "Did they tell you where the attack will happen?" "Please come on, come on, look at me, focus on my face." "You'll be fine." "Did they tell you where?" "Mani, stay with me." "Mani, where were they taking you?" "Sq... squ... square." "What square?" "What square?" "Look at me, what square?" "Mani, stay with me." "What square?" "Pulling up every camera on the square." "Still no sign of Ashur." "Hang on!" "There he is." "He's on the southeast side of the square." "Heading to the north terrace." "Ashur!" "Ashur!" "Please." "They got her." "My daughter." "I'm sorry." "You said you would protect her." "You promised." "For two years you promised." "I know." "And we are still doing everything we can." "I'm a peaceful man, not a violent one." "But now I must die to save my daughter." "Control, the bomb is chained to him." "It's enough explosive for a 50-metre kill radius." "How long before we have an explosives team onsite?" "Six minutes." "Looks like he's got a remote detonator as well as a timer." "I can't let this happen, Ashur." "Like me, you have no choice." "We are in the same position." "Neither of us have a choice now." "Control, they've got Erin's daughter." "You must dial that number." "Intercept it!" "Who is this?" "Where's my daughter?" "Your daughter's safe, for now." "Attempting to intercept the call." "If you attempt to disarm the bomb, your daughter dies." "Got it!" "If you attempt to evacuate the area, your daughter dies." "And if you yourself leave the area, she dies." "As punishment for recent actions of the British Government," "Trafalgar Square will be attacked at 6pm." "And MI5 will allow it to happen." "The call was routed through several exchanges, but I think I can run a trace." "Come on, come on, come on." "Bingo!" "Alpha Two, we've got an address for the handler." "I'm on my way." "Dimitri's two kilometres from target." "I need an update!" "Give me an update!" "CO-19 are entering the square." "No, Harry, please don't." "I promised Ashur." "I'm sorry, Erin." "But we have no time to spare." "Dimitri will get her, I know he will." "'Strike team taking up position.'" "Ashur's making his way to Nelson's Column." "'He's panicking.' Dimitri, can you make it in time?" "Let me try." "Dimitri's 200 metres from the target." "'Strike team in position.'" "Strike team in place." "Dimitri's at the target address." "Alpha Two?" "Report?" "'Going in.'" "'Target identified." "'Permission to fire?" "'Please wait, Harry.'" "Harry!" "'Do we have permission to fire?" "'" "Proceed." "'Alpha Two?" "'Update?" "'Device disabled.'" "Alpha Two." "'Dimitri?" "'" "Target down." "I've got Rosie." "She's safe." "You must be Rosie." "Rosie!" "Come on, let's get you inside, huh?" "Clever girl." "D?" "You should get some rest." "The Home Office have granted" "Ashur Mohali's daughter permanent residency." "Her uncle and aunt are going to take her." "That's good." "We need you, Erin." "We do." "We need people like you." "People with humanity." "I can't do it, Harry." "Try and remember the reasons you wanted to do this job in the first place." "I fear that's the only chance I'll have of keeping you." "How you doing?" "How's Rosie?" "She's fine." "I told her it was all just a game." "Up until now, she's the only person I've never lied to." "Come on, you lie to her all the time." "Father Christmas?" "Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny." "You can always tell her what really happened when she's older." "So if Rosie's the only person you've never lied to, that means you lied to me." "Got to keep you on your toes." "Elena, Sasha." "Would I have ever found out about them if they hadn't come back into your life?" "Do you know what it's like to feel something for someone and then one day realise you don't even know them?" "You do know me." "You know all the important things." "You stupid man!" "People don't love each other on a need-to-know basis, Harry." "I'm not sure that's always true." "I think to myself, maybe this is the final thing... his last secret." "But then I look at you, and I realise there are so many more." "Aren't there?" "Yes." "The Home Secretary has asked me to join his staff." "Advising him directly on intelligence and security matters." "What did you say?" "I said I needed to talk to you first." "I won't go if you say you can't afford to lose me." "Tell me to stay, and I will." "I think you should go." "I can't afford to lose you, but Towers is right." "You could be so much more." "And I've been selfish." "I should have urged you to move on years ago." "I'll stay until this is over." "Until the partnership is signed, or not." "No." "Go as soon as you can." "Why?" "I don't want you involved in what's coming." "You pulled me out of a meeting with Belgians for this." "So let's make it long, my friend." "Friends don't last long in our business, Jim." "If they don't die on you, they turn against you." "Somehow you and I seem to have managed to hang on." "Almost makes you suspicious, doesn't it?" "That was supposed to be a joke." "I'll give you 24 hours, Jim, to search your conscience." "Come clean and do the right thing." "You're shaking the wrong tree." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Maybe you should tell me what I've done?" "Elena yesterday?" "Tariq Masood?" "Were you ordered to take the life of my officer when he found out what you were doing or was it a spur of the moment improvisation?" "What?" "!" "I have stood by bad decisions of yours in the past, Harry." "And suffered for them." "Please don't make another one." "24 hours, Jim." "And I'm coming after you." "Coming after me?" "Harry, you forget who I work for?" "Then I suppose I'll have to come after them too." "You Brits." "Who do you think formulates CIA policy?" "Scooby-Doo?" "I don't know who to trust any more, including me." "I'm going to stand down after this." "I'm going to resign my commission." "I'm sorry." "I could have done so much more." "You want to steal evidence from the American Embassy?" "Do we have authorisation for this?" "We assumed it would be futile." "Harry, we've got a problem." "That decides it." "We take Jim Coaver." "Has he gone completely stark-staring mad?" "!" "Ruth, you're my adviser." "Advise me."
