"These men are trained." "Military." "They weren't sneaked in here to pick cockle shells." "We're going to sell nuclear plants to the Saudis?" "These four Saudi princes are flying in tomorrow to sort out the fine print." "One of them may be providing the information and funding to Al Qaeda." "Minister Wise, call off the nuclear deal, before it's too late." "Think of your children." "Are you threatening me?" "Six is sending Neil Sternum over, he's been running with this in Saudi." "Try not to make him feel too uncomfortable." "I'm working for the Attorney General." "We're running an eternal investigation." "I'd just like to know more about exactly who is sanctioning this and who I can talk to about it." "I don't like working in the dark." "The MI5 watchlist?" "Yes, I agreed to keep you informed about what was going on." "Don't ask me to do something like this again." "It's too dangerous." "Believe me, the last thing we want is to lose an asset like you." "Enough, Adam." "Enough lies." "Your wife - is she really dead?" "We were on an operation together." "She died in my arms." "Is that what your nightmares are about?" "I just need you to be ready to undertake your mission, and to find me three other brothers who are ready for the final sacrifice." "When will this happen?" "Friday night." "the Armageddon scenario." "You invited me to a reception at the Trade Centre." "Oh, great." "We can hear you perfectly through the microphone built into this four-carat cubic zirconia." "We've got one!" "Who is it?" "Hassan Khan." "It's putty." "It's what?" "It'sjust putty." "GUNSHOT AND SCREAMING" "Mazeltov." "Yalla." "The Trade Centre has been taken over by armed terrorists." "Do you copy?" "Do you copy?" "Ros!" "Ros, what's happening?" "Ros, talk to me!" "GUNSHOT, SCREAMS" "Anyone moves and you will all die." "EMERGENCY SERVICE SIRENS BLARE" "No explosives." "RADIO:" "All units." "We have reports of gunfire from the Saudi Trade Centre." "We have reports of gunfire from the Saudi Trade Centre." "What's that?" "MOBILE PHONE RINGS" "Yes?" "Adam, so far there haven't detonated any bombs." "It doesn't make sense." "Well, it does if you want to create a diversion." "In order to take over the Trade Centre." "They had us chasing our tails trying to stop an army of bombers..." "Leaving the Trade Centre wide open." "Exactly." "Get back here." "We've got some catching up to do." "Where the hell's Sally?" "She's running late." "She'll be in soon." "They've just picked up two more bombers, from the same cell as Hassan." "No explosives?" "Same thing." "Putty." "Hassan and these two others." "They're on our Al Qaeda watchlist." "They chose them because we were watching them." "They knew they'd get our attention." "How did they know we were watching them?" "THIS PROGRAMME CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE" "SIRENS SOUND" "SIRENS SOUND" "PHONE RINGS" "Jo, it's Ros." "I'm still inside." "I've lost my earpiece." "Ros, Ros, give us a brief." "The building's been taken over." "They're Arabs." "I counted five but there could be more." "Weapons?" "Sub-machine guns, automatic pistols and explosives." "Can you get out?" "I'm not sure yet." "I'm in an upstairs office." "Any fatalities?" "One." "A bodyguard." "Anyone else hurt?" "Not that I could see." "They knew who they were targeting." "They let most people escape." "You should have got out." "No, I'm more use in here." "Have they made any demands?" "Not yet." "Is this something to do with the bombers?" "There weren't any." "It was a diversion." "They were after the Trade Centre." "Hostages..." "Theroyalfamily, the ambassador, politicians." "All the key players." "NOISE OUTSIDE DOOR, VOICES" "PHONE LINE GOES DEAD Ros?" "Ros?" "PHONE RINGS" "ANSWERPHONE:" "Your call cannot be answered." "Please leave a message after the tone." "Sally?" "It's Jo." "SHE SIGHS Pick up..." "Areyouthere,Sally?" "I'll cover for you as long as I can, but if Harry finds out you're not here he'll go ballistic." "Just get here as soon as you can." "PHONE LINE GOES DEAD" "She's in there." "She just called from an office on the top floor." "OK." "Right." "Jo, you shouldn't have covered for her." "Get someone round to her place and bring her in." "If she's not at her desk in one hour, she's out of a job." "We have contact with Ros!" "Have they made any demands yet?" "No." "Ros, we've had a look at the schematics of the building." "The nearest exit is on the corner, in the east of the building..." "TELEPHONE LINE GOES DEAD Jo?" "Jo?" "NOISE OUTSIDE DOOR" "HE TRIES DOOR HANDLE" "HE SHOUTS IN ARABIC" "HE SHOUTS ANGRILY" "There's been nothing else." "No explosions." "No more fake bombers." "There were never going to be 24 bombers." "We assumed that, didn't we?" "We assumed it by extrapolating what we knew." "Which is what they wanted us to do." "What are you saying?" "They sneak terrorists into the Trade Centre." "It goes wrong at the docks, they're discovered." "They know we'll throw everything into finding who they are, so they come up with a diversion - suicide bombers." "One of them contacts someone on our watchlist, asks him to bring three of his friends." "They know we'll find out and they have us thinking each one of the six is leading a cell of four." "And drown us in our own chaff." "Nice." "Harry, they knew exactly who we were watching." "They knew about Firaz, they knew about Hassan..." "The only way they could know is from someone on the inside." "So Al Qaeda have a mole inside the Intelligence Services." "I can just see the look of bliss on the Home Secretary's face when he hears that." "We'll have to lock everything down." "Screen everyone from scratch." "They're making their demands." "Where's the signal coming from?" "They're broadcasting it online." "Special Ops are just patching it through." "SPEAKS IN ARABIC" "IN ENGLISH:" "We are Shura Mujaheddin of Al Qaeda and we have taken over the Trade Centre of the godless Saudi regime..." "that has been helping the Zionist-crusaders in their war against Islam." "I speak this directly to the king." "You hold 387 of our brothers in your jails." "You have one hour to free them." "We will execute a hostage every hour until our demands are met." "There will be no negotiation." "No delays." "We will know when our brothers are free." "Jo, liaise with GCHQ." "I want to know every whisper that goes in and out of that building." "Neil, get onto your friends at Six." "These maniacs didn't plan this yesterday." "I've isolated the signal from the microphone in Ros's earring." "It must have fallen out." "Can you patch it through on the speakers?" "It won't work unless it's next to the microchip planted in her ear." "And this equipment is supposed to be state of the art?" "Find another way to reach her." "What is it?" "It's Sally." "She's been found." "She was murdered." "Stabbed in her flat, over 24 hours ago." "What if she was the mole?" "Think about it." "She's been murdered." "It's a bit convenient, isn't it?" "They got what they wanted and silenced her." "Like they did with Prosnik." "There's nothing in her profile to suggest that." "It's not in the profile of anyone in this building." "But somebody in here led us to the trough, Harry." "It's too perfect." "Malcolm, check Sally's records." "Everything." "Hard drive, server, phone, bank details, text messages." "I want to know everything about her." "If the terrorists are getting inside information they might know about Ros." "I can't believe Sally would have done that." "You hardly knew her." "None of us did." "I spent more time with her than anyone else." "It doesn't feel right." "There's hundreds of ways they could have got to her." "Maybe she had no choice." "One minute she's here, the next she's gone." "She asked me how well I knew Neil." "Why?" "I don't know." "Maybe there was something brewing between them." "No, I doubt it." "Why?" "Well, I know him." "She's not even remotely his type." "Besides, he still hasn't got over his wife." "His wife?" "Six years ago." "She was pregnant with her first child getting on a bus in Tel Aviv..." "ShewasIsraeli." "She was blown up by a suicide bomber." "Poor man." "Shit." "What?" "The terrorist watchlist." "She overrode the copy protection and downloaded it onto an external drive." "VOICES SPEAK IN ARABIC" "Sorry, I was just looking at that." "Someone's..." "Oh!" "Listen to me." "I have an officer inside that building." "You do nothing until I have contacted that officer and I will call you when I have done so." "Yes, sir." "Special Branch and the SAS are drawing up plans to storm the building." "We've got to let Ros know." "I can't have her caught in the crossfire." "Besides, she could help." "So I've been telling them." "What have you got?" "They got the watchlist from Sally." "We're looking into her bank accounts and talking to her friends and family." "The ones we know about..." "Poor girl." "God knows how she got mixed up in this." "What about GCHQ?" "Nothing yet." "Dammit." "What are these people playing at?" "They're shooting themselves in the foot." "These people they've taken hostage were here to get them the first Arab nuclear plants." "You think they'd wait a few years until the plants were up and running and then try to take over the country... alongwiththeenriched plutonium." "The deal wasn't public knowledge." "It's possible Bin Laden and his people didn't know about it." "What bothers me more is, why use putty?" "Why not use real bombs?" "You said it yourself, it was improvised." "Maybe they didn't have access to explosives." "They seem to have access to anything." "Look at the way they got into our country, turned Sally to get our files, sending out those decoys..." "It's unusually sophisticated for Al Qaeda." "They pulled off 9/11." "Yeah, but something about this feels more..." "more calculated." "More strategic." "They're reacting to our moves, beating us at our own game." "They're getting better at it." "They've had plenty of practice..." "We're not talking about local crackpots building something in somebody's garage here." "These guys were smuggled in." "Yeah, but if I was Al Qaeda and had bombers on tap, even if it was just decoy, I'd use more than putty." "Blowing up half of London would risk us retaliating with everything we've got." "This way, it's just between them and the Saudis." "But every time we've retaliated, we've only strengthened their cause." "Our hour is up in six minutes." "We have her." "We'll get rid of her." "No, it'll look suspicious." "Why not?" "They assume we had some help." "Yes, but that lead was closed down yesterday." "What do you mean?" "You need to send a message to the king, not to the people here." "Keep her alive for now." "Besides, if you need it, she could be useful." "We won't need it." "Good." "SHE GROANS" "Are you all right?" "Yeah, I think so." "What's happening?" "What do they want?" "Someone's time is up." "Tell me they won't choose Ros." "They won't." "Killing Ros won't help get their people released." "Yeah, you're assuming they're thinking clearly." "Up to now they have." "Neil." "Hi, Sally." "I've been given clearance to talk to you in more detail." "Nice flat." "Good divorce." "Any chance of a drink?" "Yes, of course." "I'll see what I've got." "Hayda." "Stop this, I beg of you." "This man is a guest of Her Majesty's government." "He's my responsibility." "You cannot do this." "Please!" "He's the ambassador!" "This is barba... !" "GUNSHOT" "GUNSHOT" "They won't let this go on." "They'll send in help." "I'm not sure if I want to wait that long." "We don't have much choice, do we?" "I need to talk to them." "Are you trying to get yourself killed?" "I'm trying to save our lives." "The Foreign Office are putting pressure on the king, trying to persuade him not to cave in." "You really expect him not to?" "The ambassador was near to the inner circle." "The others are just as close." "He's not going to sit back and watch as they're murdered." "To release the prisoners would be a disaster. 400 hard-line fanatics freed in one go?" "Make Iraq look like a Buddhist monastery." "That's not the only downside." "The nuclear plants." "The PM is apoplectic, Harry." "This deal is absolutely critical in guaranteeing our oil supply." "You need to find a way to end this siege." "WHISPERED CONVERSATION" "Are you all right, Minister?" "I've been better." "Who are you?" "Ros Myers." "MI5." "Did Harry Pearce assign you to watch over me?" "No." "Why?" "I was being threatened." "They want me to kill the nuclear deal." "Who?" "Take your pick." "This whole thing's been cursed from day one." "Anything worthwhile usually is." "I can't see the Saudi king holding out." "He'll free the prisoners." "Doesn't mean they'll let us go." "In that case, how long before our people storm in and get us out?" "I don't think it's going to be that easy this time, Minister." "I didn't think it was." "The bulletproof glass means we can't listen in, and they have encrypted mobile phones we can't monitor." "GCHQ are in the dark." "These guys are well-prepared." "Yeah." "They turned Sally." "They killed anyone they don't need any more." "And they've got all the right gear." "Yeah." "I've been thinking..." "PHONE RINGS" "Is everything OK?" "I'm watching the news." "You're part of this, aren't you?" "Yeah." "Look, I'll be here with Wes." "Don't worry." "Just do what you have to do." "And be careful." "I will." "Thanks." "OK." "Let's go back a few steps." "Al Qaeda trick us in order to take hostages." "What are they after?" "Release of their people from Saudi jails." "What does that get them?" "Well, chaos in Saudi Arabia." "400 potential suicide bombers set free to rip the country to shreds." "Car bombs, shootings, evacuations." "The collapse of the royal family." "It becomes politically unacceptable for us to sell nuclear power to a country in turmoil." "The deal dies." "You think that's what this is about?" "If it's Al Qaeda, why use fake bombers?" "Would any other country want to destroy our deal with Saudi Arabia that badly?" "These are attacks on London." "Hang on." "If we can't sell them nuclear power, I can't see how any other country can do business with them either." "No-one gets the oil." "Turmoil in Saudi Arabia, they don't get the plutonium." "It's a win-win situation." "If you're Israeli." "What did you say?" "Don't worry about it." "They won't touch us now." "Why not?" "I believe you have an expression that says, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you."" "I don't understand." "It's complicated." "But I didn't know they were planning this." "Well, how would you know?" "People I work with." "You know these people?" "Not exactly." "These terrorists want to overthrow your government, they want to get rid of your royal family, of you." "They're the future." "No matter who's running the country, we still have 25% of the world's oil reserves, which are worthless if we don't sell them." "Why help terrorists?" "They're going to win, sooner or later." "And once they do, they'll need people who know how to run a country." "People who can talk to the West." "Don't worry your little head over it, hayati." "Just stay close to me and you'll be fine." "I need you for something." "Quickly." "I've been going through Sally's computer, and I remembered she was running your face recognition software." "With the beta update." "Her computer crashed while she was doing it." "We still haven't ironed out all the bugs." "OK, here's what's strange." "I was going through all her caches and it looks like all the programs locked at the same time." "It's as if something crashed the system altogether, rather than the software crashing." "That doesn't sound right." "RADIO CRACKLES" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "I really need to talk to your boss." "What are you doing?" "Sit down!" "No, I need to talk to your boss." "You're going to get yourself killed!" "Sit down." "Please." "I really, really..." "Sitdown!" "BABBLE OF VOICES" "SHRIEKS AND SHOUTS" "Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel darling..." "What do you want?" "I really, really need to use the ladies room." "Don't waste my time." "Up, up!" "Yeah, I know, Harry, but they haven't missed a step." "Aside from being discovered at the port." "OK, one mistake." "The point is how they reacted to it." "Think about it." "There's one country with the ideology, the political will and the highly trained but deniable officers that could pull off something like this." "Some of the background programs were still running." "Right, let's mine down to the hex addresses." "This is unusual." "Someone sent her a spike." "Who?" "There's a terminal ident here." "Can you see whose it is?" "COMPUTER BEEPS Damn it." "What's caused that to quit?" "Malcolm, can you try it one more time?" "It'lljust do it again." "Please, Malcolm." "Just do it." "Neil, do you have a minute?" "Not really." "I just wanted to double check some things." "Is it urgent?" "You're accusing Israel of an act of terrorism on British soil." "Yeah." "Even if you're right that this is about stopping the nuclear deal, there are many countries, many groups who could be behind this." "I can't go upstream with no proof." "I need more." "Oh, God." "What?" "Neil." "You're familiar with the Arabic dialects, aren't you?" "It's not my area of expertise, I'm sure there are other people you can talk to..." "He downloaded the watchlist from Sally's computer." "He's done a hell of a lot more than that." "Activate a lockdown." "Activating immediate lockdown." "BEEPING" "Get Malcolm on it!" "It's over, Neil." "You can't get out the building." "I know." "And you can't get to me either." "He's put a lock on the security chamber." "And you can't reverse the action?" "He's corrupted his access profile." "What's the point of a security system that works against you?" "It wasn't designed to deal with this." "I don't think we'll have to deal with it much longer." "Look, Neil, we can, we can work this out." "Just help us to end the siege." "We've gone way beyond that, Adam." "This could escalate into something horrific." "We live in a horrific world." "You think this is what Rachel would want?" "Absolutely." "No, she wouldn't." "You didn't know her." "Everything I did, I did for her." "Look, I lost Fiona..." "Then maybe you'll start to understand..." ". .maybe her death wouldn't have been in vain after all." "Adam." "He's taken cyanide." "Old-fashioned, but does the trick." "Who's your contact in Israel?" "Neil, listen to me, who's your contact in Israel?" "Come on, Neil, what's the purpose of the mission?" "Come on - give me something!" "Neil, come on!" "Give me something - don't let this happen." "Give me something." "You know what's really strange?" "For the first time since Rachel's death..." ". .it actually feels good to think about her." "You bastard, you fucking coward." "His wife was Israeli?" "They had to identify her through dental records." "I feel compassionate for him about that, but to collaborate with these people - whose side was he on?" "We used to argue for hours over Middle Eastern politics." "He was hugely pro-Israeli." "So much so that I once asked him if the UK was at war with Israel, who he'd fight for." "What was his answer?" "He never gave me one." "Until now." "Another hour's nearly up." "Jo?" "Malcolm?" "Ros!" "I'm in the ballroom with 14 hostages." "They've got C4 all over the main entry points." "Explosives on a wall in the basement." "In the north-east corner." "Khaldoon's the Al Qaeda sympathiser." "Stop talking." "The terrorists know that." "Ros?" "!" "Ros, listen." "They're not Al Qaeda." "She's next." "She's next." "STATIC AND FEEDBACK" "GUNSHOT" "This can't go on." "You're out of your mind." "What makes you think we're behind all this?" "Come on, Uri." "This has got Mossad written all over it." "You know what your mistake was?" "You're too perfect." "You do things too well, which normally would work for you, but in this case, it's what gave you up." "Be serious, Harry." "It's the Sabbath, for heaven's sake." "I've got better places to be." "Call them off, Uri." "You don't think this serves both our purposes?" "With Saudi Arabia up in flames, I fail to see how that could serve anybody's purposes." "Our American patrons finally have an excuse to go in and grab those oil fields for strategic reasons." "Put aside all this nonsense about spreading freedom and democracy." "Let the rest go to hell." "Let them slaughter each other till kingdom come." "There I was thinking the neo-cons were the crazies." "These glorified Bedouins squandered the greatest gift that can be bestowed on any nation and what did they waste it on?" "Gold-plated yachts, palaces in Marbella while keeping their people in a state of the middle ages." "And you, you want to sell them nuclear technology?" "Ah." "So that IS what all this is about." "It's criminally irresponsible and you know it." "These people can't be trusted with that sort of thing." "Whereas "you people" can be trusted to behave in a reasonable manner?" "Be careful, Harry." "Call them off or this could blow up in your face." "Arab killing Arab?" "It's a story as old as time itself." "Shalom, Harry." "Mossad?" "For God Sake, Harry, have you been drinking?" "I just met with Uri Kolchak." "They're trying to derail the nuclear deal." "Harry, this is ludicrous." "Juliet..." "Doyouhaveproof?" "Juliet, for God's sake!" "I'm telling you Israeli officers have taken over the Saudi Trade Centre and shot dead two leading diplomats here in London." "God knows how the Arab world's going to respond to this." "I mean, countries have gone to war over far less." "All the more reason to keep it under wraps." "We can't let them get away with it." "They've murdered innocent people." "If what you're saying is true, exposing this would be a disaster impossible to contain." "Which is just as well because the decision has already been made." "We are going in." "What?" "They won't negotiate, Harry." "The king is close to releasing the prisoners." "If he does, Saudi Arabia will descend into chaos and we can kiss our nuclear deal goodbye." "Forget about it." "That's not going to happen." "It will if we do this right." "We go in fast and hard." "We take them out and no-one need know who they were or where they came from." "What about the hostages in there?" "Wise is there, with his wife." "And I've got Ros in there." "I...I'msorryaboutRos." "We have no choice." "When?" "Imminent." "What's the news?" "They king's not giving in." "We knew that could happen." "It doesn't matter." "Once you're done, it'll create enough of a stir to keep this deal off the table." "Give us time to plan things better." "The SAS are going in." "When?" "Within the hour." "Before the next execution." "You know what to do." "Everyone down!" "Lie on the floor!" "Down!" "They'll know we're going in." "They had Neil, they'll have others." "They'll want to end this." "The building's surrounded." "It'll be a bloodbath." "But they're Mossad." "They value their people to the last." "They don't send officers to a sure death and they don't leave them behind either." "There must be a way out." "Ros said there were planting explosives in the basement on a wall in the north-east corner." "There must be an underground exit." "Let me check the local maps." "I'll check with London Underground." "You get yourself over there." "You people are animals." "You bring shame upon us." "I want everybody here to understand that they do not speak for me." "They do not speak for Islam." "Prince Khaldoon wasn't one of you, was he?" "So why did you kill him?" "Unless you're not really who you say you are." "And your accent," "I knew someone who spoke just like you." "Mizrahi, am I right?" "He was a Yemeni Jew." "You're a Jew?" "!" "You..." "You wanted to stop the nuclear deal." "I won't give our enemies the means to destroy us." "As long as you think of them as enemies and not as human beings..." "You can think like that." "You live in Greenwich in a nice house, safe." "See if you still think like that when you have half of your family blown up in a bus, when you have two of your kids die in a restaurant." "It's about the survival of our people." "No, it's about the future." "This deal is more important to my government than you know." "They won't let this go any further, regardless of the cost." "So how are you planning on going in?" "We're going to go in here through the kitchens on the lower floor and here by means of access through the fire escape to the upper floors." "MOBILE RINGS We'll use a diversion here by roof access..." "Zaf?" "There's an underground exit shaft that runs alongside the east perimeter." "It's three feet outside the basement wall." "So the correct explosion could break through it." "Yeah, I'm sending the schematics through to your PDA." "OK, thanks." "They're going to try and escape through an old underground exit shaft." "What you thinking?" "We need to keep the plan going." "They could have moles." "Not with us." "Trust me on this." "These guys know what they're doing." "Anything's possible." "You give me a small team with someone who can handle explosives and we'll go in just before you through the exit shaft." "BLEEPING" "Anyone moves, you will die." "Anyone speaks, you will die." "I will not repeat this twice." "This way." "That's the exit shaft going through the wall there." "Set the explosives." "Kill the power." "Go." "Go, go, go, now!" "Please, please stay calm, everyone stay calm." "Clear, clear." "Come on, come on, just keep moving!" "Come on, quick!" "OK, up you get, move!" "Mr Wise, are you OK?" "I'm fine." "Help my wife, she's still in there." "Come on, come on, just keep moving." "Keep moving." "Ros, you all right?" "What was the body count?" "Five." "There were six of them." "I know where he is." "So no-one will ever know what really happened here tonight." "It's called transparent government." "There is a silver lining." "The Saudi government showed great character and political will in resisting the demands of the fundamentalists." "The Prime Minister, fully vindicated in selling them the nuclear plants and carrying on with his valiant nation-building endeavours and we flushed out our sympathiser." "Well, he pretty much flushed himself out." "Not a bad story for tomorrow's newspapers." "Go home, Rosalind." "Is it over?" "Yeah." "So you can rest?" "Yeah." "Congratulations, Harry." "The city is safe again and now we can all sleep comfortably in our beds." "But it isn't over yet." "Don't you want the bodies of your men back?" "My men?" "What are you talking about?" "Astoundingly, there's not a trace of evidence to link them to Mossad." "Because they were all anonymous Arab terrorists and now they're all dead." "All?" "You see, contrary to any reports you might have read, the leader of the anonymous " Arab" terrorists didn't die in the shoot-out." "He's actually the picture of good health." "Trouble is we don't know what to do with him." "No-one's claimed him yet, which is understandable." "Any country which did claim him would have to explain what he was doing leading a group of terrorists to take over the Trade Centre." "Would open up a really nasty can of worms, don't you think?" "No, I suspect our terrorist is going to remain anonymous for the rest of his days." "Don't you?" "Shalom." "Welcome to Camp X-Ray, son." "Didn't God give man free will?" "He must have realised it wouldn't always go His way." "I am going to restore His kingdom." "They've issued a declaration of war against Islam." "Let's get them firmly on the radar." "They declared war, now we join it.he In the name of a peace-loving god!" "What is fear anyway?" "Who ever effected change through fear?" "Adam!"
