0:02:25 > 0:02:27Yes, we met last year in Lyon.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Yes. Of course.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32You have a message for me?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Dimitri has returned from Kiev with the information we need.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40He will meet you in Amsterdam at the North Gate of the Westerpark.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's like bloody Roadrunner.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Never draw attention to yourself that way.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23A good agent always blends into the background.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yeah, but one of your lot was following me, wasn't he?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26He was wearing brown shoes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29As do half the damn populace.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01You lost your accent.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Borrowed accent.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Polish?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Czech. I just got back from Prague.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Head of Training is an old friend, he called in a favour.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21I suppose it's totally inappropriate to ask what your judgement is on me?

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Bomb disposal.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01As career moves go, something of a quantum leap.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05By the time the bomb is laid, it's after the event.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's just about damage limitation.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Damage being the loss of your colleague,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Lieutenant Lawson, by a car bomb last year?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Among others.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Before the army you were up at Oxford.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19In your third year there, you became friendly with a Russian student
0:07:19 > 0:07:22on an English postgraduate course. One Viktor Koslov.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25You were friendly for a while -
0:07:25 > 0:07:28drinking, socialising,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30rowing for the college and so forth.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Any time I'm off-piste, feel free to jump in.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40What was your impression of him at that time?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43He rather relished the freedom of it all.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Was he politically active there?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48If he was, he didn't parade it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49He's now back here,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52working in the Political Section at the Soviet Embassy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56As is usual for their postings, he's accompanied by his wife.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Also as usual, they've had to leave their child behind in Moscow.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02As a hostage.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06So far, so routine. Except MI5 report that he's been conducting
0:08:06 > 0:08:08a relationship with a prostitute.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10A risky venture for a Soviet official
0:08:10 > 0:08:13serving in a hostile Western country.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Unless he has a death wish. - DOOR OPENS
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Hugo March. A1 London Ops.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Responsible for targeting and recruiting Russians here.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I think you met my wife today on a training exercise -
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Anna March?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Oh, yes, I did.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Bit of light relief after her stint in Prague.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32In your own time, Hugo.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Eva Pym. 24 years old, former model.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Pregnant at 17,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44a daughter, now aged seven, at a boarding school in Hampshire.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Not one of your common-or-garden street tarts.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50She frequents high-class parties in Mayfair
0:08:50 > 0:08:51for visiting foreign officials.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54We assume that's where she picked up Viktor.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Is he KGB?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00As you no doubt recall, three years ago we expelled over
0:09:00 > 0:09:02100 of their agents operating out of their embassy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Moscow is still smarting from that. As a result,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08they've stepped up their activities here in retaliation.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12We know they're planning an attack on our infrastructure.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16If Viktor isn't KGB, he'll know the names of those here who are.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21In other words, we want you to turn him.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Exploiting personal relationships is never easy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30If you have any qualms about it or feel you're not ready,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33now would be a good time to say it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34I'm ready.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Hugo will brief you on the details.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49You'll be reporting directly to Hookey on this.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52He'll expect detailed reports after every contact.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Be warned, he takes no prisoners.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58He cut his teeth in East Berlin against the Stasi.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Best use an alias with the Pym woman.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Someone gave you her name.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12You wish to avail yourself of her services.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15No, thanks.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Play your cards right, you can do just that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Seize your pleasures where they come.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'd be in there like a fucking shot.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Mmm. Now...
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Antidotes to all known poisons currently used by the KGB.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Thallium is their usual choice.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Initial symptoms - abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55If you experience one or all of them,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58take two grams immediately, get yourself to hospital.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Any delay could prove fatal.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03If I'm just an old friend getting back in touch,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05why would Viktor want to harm me?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Depends how convincing you are.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Trick to lying - always stick as close to the truth as possible.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Viktor?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- My God. It is you! It's Charles.- Charles!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17THEY LAUGH
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- How are you? - What's it been, six, seven years?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Eight, eight years at least. At least! How are you?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'm great. You're back here now?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yes, I am Second Secretary at the Russian Embassy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Oh, wow!- Yes. And you are...?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Foreign Office.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37As of two weeks ago, I'm just on the induction course.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Well, we must meet, catch up properly. Where can I reach you?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44At the embassy would be best.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Yeah. It's OK for me to call you there?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Yes. You think I will be clapped in irons if you do?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51THEY LAUGH
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I'll be in touch. It's been too long, Viktor.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Now we make up for lost time.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I look forward to it, yes. Really!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- I have a reservation.- Of course.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Whisky.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34No ice.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Eva?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Hi.- Hi.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Champagne.- Two glasses. - A bottle. My usual.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Of course.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09They know you here.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12They should do, I bring them enough business.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Did you book a room for us?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I'll sort it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22A place nearby do a special rate for me.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25And you, what's your special rate?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Depends.- On?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30What you're after.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Suppose I tell you that I'm here under false pretences?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38That I work for British Intelligence
0:14:38 > 0:14:43and we have an interest in one of your clients?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47I'd say my duty is to queen and country so...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I'm at your disposal.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03His name is Viktor Koslov.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08He works at the Russian Embassy.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21That's fine, thank you.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24What do you want from me?
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Nothing onerous. Just anything you can tell us about him.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Anything he's confided in you about his life and his work here.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35In other words, spy for you?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Gather information.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Thanks but no thanks. I'm not getting into something like this.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Not a chance. Find some other mug to do your dirty work.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Your daughter Mary...how old is she now? Seven, eight?
0:15:51 > 0:15:56You must miss her when she's away at school.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Then again, with your job it must be
0:15:59 > 0:16:01very challenging during the holidays when she's home.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Children can be so impressionable at that age, can't they?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08My, your mother must be proud of you.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16So I get what out of it?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Double your usual rate.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Triple. Plus expenses.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24OK.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40TYRES SCREECH
0:16:53 > 0:16:54DOOR CLOSES
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Tanya, my wife.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32My daughter.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Aw.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Natasha, back in Moscow.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41It is the greatest love of all, Charles, the love for a child.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46It is the only love that is...unconditional.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And the love of one's country, where does that rate?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Was it not Voltaire who said, "It is lamentable that to be
0:17:55 > 0:17:59"a patriot one must first make an enemy of the rest of mankind?"
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I thought about you often over the years, Viktor.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Of our time together in Oxford.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I have thought of you also.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20You were not like the other people there. They had such a sense of...
0:18:20 > 0:18:21entitlement, yes?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26The assumption that happiness is their right, is their due.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Since returning here, I have been struck how people think
0:18:31 > 0:18:34they know everything about my country.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38How we are all card-carrying Party members,
0:18:38 > 0:18:43ready to take up arms to further the glorious Communist cause.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Not true, it's a misconception.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Most people in Russia are not in the Party,
0:18:49 > 0:18:54they care not a kopek for the Party or the Socialist utopia it espouses.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56You seem happy enough to serve it.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I was born into it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It is the sea I have to swim in.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08You used to say politics bored you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Time gives a different perspective.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Then we have more in common than divides us, my friend.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23HE LAUGHS
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- This one is yours?!- Uh-huh.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Wow. Style without ostentation.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Yeah. Legacy from my father. He died a few months ago.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm sorry.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Can I give you a lift?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44No, no.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Must we end the evening now? It is early, we could maybe,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52I don't know, take a walk, or continue the conversation?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56It is rarely that I get such a chance.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yeah. Why not?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Where are we going?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Viktor?
0:20:30 > 0:20:31I need to talk to you.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01After you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Your father...
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It was a heart attack, yes?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23You were close.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30I met him once, do you remember? When he came to visit you at Oxford?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34You brought him to Hall, introduced him to everyone.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I remember.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45I have been asked to talk about him to you, Charles.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54I have been asked to tell you that we owe his family -
0:21:56 > 0:22:02you and your mother - many, many thousands of pounds
0:22:02 > 0:22:06for the work that he has done for us over the years.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10What, as a surveyor?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15A surveyor trained by us in Moscow
0:22:15 > 0:22:18in the installation of listening devices.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Who had unique access to your government's
0:22:23 > 0:22:25embassies all over the world.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31There was barely a diplomatic or intelligence secret in any city,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35any country, that your father could not access for us.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41But he would never accept a payment for his services.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50And now he is dead, and we honour our debts.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57That is what I have been instructed to tell you.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Who? Who's instructed you to tell me this?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03My people.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07What people?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11My people in Moscow.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Well, your people in Moscow are talking pre-digested crap, Viktor.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm surprised you fell for it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Anyone can fix a photograph.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43We just want to repay what is owed to him, Charles.
0:23:44 > 0:23:51And do it in such a way that will not compromise your own career.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53If your employers in the Secret Service
0:23:53 > 0:23:55knew about your father's work...
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I told you, I work for the Foreign Office.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02And I am not KGB, but a humble embassy official.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You really think that I would do this, Charles?
0:24:08 > 0:24:13That I would risk such exposure telling you this
0:24:13 > 0:24:15if it were not true?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25I am sorry it had to be me to tell you.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Truly sorry.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Yeah, yeah. Did Moscow tell you to say that too?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39We all want to think the best of our fathers.
0:24:41 > 0:24:47You will see this was the best of yours.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58DOOR BELL RINGS
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Is Hugo in?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10He's just gone out.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I'll catch him at the office tomorrow.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Charles? You're here now.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26He's...he's walking the dog.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Via the nearest pub, if I know Hugo.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Sorry.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Don't let the work consume you, Charles.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45It will if you let it.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Why keep on with it, then?
0:26:52 > 0:26:57The other day, I was strap-hanging on the tube in rush hour,
0:26:57 > 0:27:04and I remember looking at the crush of people around me and thinking,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I've got a secret.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08And I need that.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Don't ask me why.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Has anything ever happened to you, where...
0:27:35 > 0:27:39..it seems everything you've ever known, everything you've ever...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47..is suddenly impeached?
0:27:49 > 0:27:53My father used to say the essence of a lie is the intention to deceive.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Do you believe that?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Wanting something to happen isn't the same as acting on it.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13HE SCOFFS
0:28:14 > 0:28:17What's going on with you, Charles?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I shouldn't have come.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Charles.- No, I'm...
0:28:22 > 0:28:27best left to my own devices tonight. Thank you for the...
0:28:27 > 0:28:29No, wait...
0:28:32 > 0:28:34DOOR CLOSES
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Apart from Auld Lang Syne on your Oxford days
0:29:52 > 0:29:54and a veiled hint that he might be KGB, that was it?
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Yeah.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01And after dinner?
0:30:01 > 0:30:03We went our separate ways.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Wise to take it slowly, build mutual trust.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Plenty of time later to...
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Did you arrange another meeting?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I didn't want to appear too obvious.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16No-one could accuse you of that.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06What a nice surprise!
0:31:12 > 0:31:14How goes the Foreign Office?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Yeah, just still finding my feet a bit.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23I wanted to ask you something about Dad.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Just that it's been six months now, Mum, since...
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Thought maybe you and I could start clearing out some of his things?
0:31:41 > 0:31:42You're right of course.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Well, the study is where to start.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52God knows what he hoarded in there over the years.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Oh, look.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13I should get a gardener in, I suppose.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15It's too big to manage on my own.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Cheers.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33God, all those trips over the years for Dad's work
0:35:33 > 0:35:34can't have been easy.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38I had you for company, didn't I?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Later on, of course, I went with him.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Moscow, wasn't it?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Moscow, Washington, Bonn...
0:35:46 > 0:35:48All over.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Did you ever meet any of his associates on your trips?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Associates! How formal you make it sound.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Where did you get this?
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Do you know him?
0:36:05 > 0:36:10He used to visit your father at the hotel in Prague.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Or was it Bucharest?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Did Dad say how he knew him?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Only that he was in the same line of work.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Then, he never talked about his work, did he?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30He used to say the Official Secrets Act applied equally
0:36:30 > 0:36:34to a humble government surveyor as to government spies.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Chap in the FO knew Dad before the war.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47He has some idea that's what Dad was.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51A spy. For the other side.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55The Russians?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00If he was, would you have known?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03After 30 years of marriage?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11You can tell your friend I don't much appreciate him
0:37:11 > 0:37:14spreading such mendacious tittle-tattle.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Dear God, you haven't taken it seriously?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Of course not. It's absurd, obviously.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- KNOCK ON DOOR - Yes!
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Can I have a moment?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09You need to hear this too.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19The report I submitted on my meeting with Viktor...
0:38:21 > 0:38:23..was incomplete.
0:38:27 > 0:38:34He told me that since the war my father...had been a KGB spy.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46His code name was Builder.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48And the man with him?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52His handler. I don't have a name.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06'Hello?'
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Martha, my office.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Can I ask why you delayed telling us this?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I didn't want to believe it.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I assumed you'd demand my resignation
0:39:21 > 0:39:23and my career would be killed in its tracks.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Is that what you're minded to do, resign?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28I want to finish what we started with Viktor.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30If he is trying to recruit me, I can use it.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Feed him information.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Nothing damaging, whatever can be cleared for his consumption.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- But sufficient to convince him I'm on board.- Like father, like son.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Well, that's the card I hold, isn't it?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Martha, Charles Thoroughgood.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Everything in this Control begins and ends with Martha.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01What do we know of them?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Igor Smolotski, official rank - First Chief Directorate.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14The KGB equivalent of MI6. In other words, a heavyweight.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16As to who's with him...
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- My father.- Now deceased.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Someone of Igor's rank wouldn't trouble himself
0:40:24 > 0:40:26with a mere foot soldier.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Daddy must have been of value to them.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33And Mumsy?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Was she just a fellow traveller,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38or up to her neck in it along with him?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45She was as much in the dark as I was.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47That's my only condition, my mother is left alone.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49That's non-negotiable.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55PHONE RINGS
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Viktor, the money you owe my father, how much are we talking about?
0:41:19 > 0:41:23After our last meeting, I was not so sure I would see you so soon.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25If ever again.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Did you tell your Control about our conversation?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36About your father's work for us?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38And end my career before it's even started?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45His possessions, have they been disposed of yet?
0:41:48 > 0:41:54Late last year, Moscow gave him a last mission to undertake for us.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57But he died before he could debrief us on the details of it.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Perhaps there is a record of the mission somewhere in his house.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06A map...
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Perhaps a cipher, I don't know.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12What kind of map?
0:42:13 > 0:42:16If we knew that, I would not need you to find it.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Right, that's the price, is it?
0:42:26 > 0:42:28There is always a price, my friend.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34PHONE RINGS
0:42:41 > 0:42:46I'm in. He told me they are looking for something.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49They think my father might be involved.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51He left some kind of map.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53He gave no more details than that?
0:42:53 > 0:42:56No, but it must be big or else why would he risk asking my help?
0:43:14 > 0:43:16METALLIC RATTLING
0:43:44 > 0:43:45You visiting Hugo?
0:43:45 > 0:43:49Job for Section 8. It's Red Stripe.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Restricted access, need to know only.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Hugo told me about your father.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Interrogating my mother was the fun part.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Maybe she didn't ask any questions
0:44:19 > 0:44:21because she was afraid of the answers.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Well, we're all guilty of that.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35Hugo said that he did it for ideological reasons.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40What he did was out of principle, wasn't it?
0:44:40 > 0:44:41Not greed or...
0:44:42 > 0:44:44That's something, surely?
0:44:44 > 0:44:46Oh, I'll cling to any straw that's going.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48HE LAUGHS
0:44:50 > 0:44:52You're not your father, Charles.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57Ash.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17How was our mutual friend on your date yesterday?
0:45:17 > 0:45:18Anything new to report?
0:45:20 > 0:45:23He called, asked to delay it until early evening.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26Said he had an errand to run,
0:45:26 > 0:45:28he couldn't make it back to London in time.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Did he say what the errand was?
0:45:30 > 0:45:34Something about his bosses needing a result on something.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36If he can't deliver it, he's in trouble.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38What kind of trouble?
0:45:38 > 0:45:39Your end first.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46When I asked, he clammed up.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51But he had sand in his turn-ups, in his shoes.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53I had to hoover it up after he left.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58He said he had to go there again tomorrow.
0:45:58 > 0:46:03I went through his pockets while he was in the toilet.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06No bonus for initiative?
0:46:36 > 0:46:39CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
0:47:07 > 0:47:10Oi, what are you doing?

0:49:23 > 0:49:27It means that what I'm about to tell you must not be divulged to anyone.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30Including everyone in the Controllerate. No exceptions.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37Our source in Moscow informs us that in the past year
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Soviet agents have buried secret caches around the country.
0:49:40 > 0:49:45Like the one you found. It's called Operation Legacy.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48We don't as yet know how many but we know their contents
0:49:48 > 0:49:52are intended for sabotage operations against our infrastructure.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55Dungeness Power Station clearly being a target.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59The fact the KGB have now tasked Viktor to find
0:49:59 > 0:50:02the one your father buried means that they intend to use it.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04And soon.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08The strikes, power cuts, three day week...
0:50:08 > 0:50:10what better opportunity for a pre-emptive strike?
0:50:10 > 0:50:13If we're going to stop them, Viktor is the key.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13< Viktor.
0:51:15 > 0:51:16Viktor, wait!
0:51:19 > 0:51:20I have to talk to you.

0:53:23 > 0:53:26The police?
0:53:26 > 0:53:27I called you first.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29I'll clean it up. Go home, Thoroughgood.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31That's not a request.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45We have a 247 in South London.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20So that's it, she's just swept under the carpet?
0:54:20 > 0:54:24It's not as simple as that. You're missing the bigger picture.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31And she was what, collateral damage?
0:54:31 > 0:54:33And no-one is to be held accountable?
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Would you feel less so if the Russians were?
0:54:46 > 0:54:47My father...
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Did people die because of him?
0:54:51 > 0:54:53Almost certainly.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18- HOOKEY:- 'Like father, like son.'
0:56:27 > 0:56:30No, you can only claim that an agent's been properly recruited
0:56:30 > 0:56:34when he accepts being handed over to a new case officer.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37Proving his relationship is with the service, not the individual.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40Bollocks! The initial contact is what counts!
0:56:40 > 0:56:42When you first turn them.
0:56:42 > 0:56:45Whether they know it or not, you've already got them.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47They're already at the point of no return.
0:56:47 > 0:56:49Fear of exposure does the rest.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53"Fear doth make cowards of us all."
0:56:55 > 0:56:56Conscience.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01Isn't it, "Conscience makes cowards of us all"?
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Aren't you the scholar.

0:57:37 > 0:57:40It was the duty officer. Viktor's done a runner from the embassy.
0:57:40 > 0:57:44They don't like the way he's acting.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46They lost him, south of the river.
0:57:46 > 0:57:48You know where he might be?
0:57:48 > 0:57:50I hope so.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54Is that car following us?
0:58:00 > 0:58:01Let him pass.

0:59:17 > 0:59:22It was all a set-up, yes?
0:59:22 > 0:59:23Everything?
0:59:25 > 0:59:27From the start, you were playing me.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32Either way, I am finished.
0:59:33 > 0:59:36Two KGB officers are here from Moscow.
0:59:38 > 0:59:40They say I must return with them.
0:59:41 > 0:59:43They will interrogate me about Eva.
0:59:47 > 0:59:51I am not a brave man, I will confess,
0:59:51 > 0:59:54they will put me in a labour camp.
0:59:54 > 0:59:58My wife and daughter will lose their home.
0:59:58 > 1:00:02They will be destitute, they will be disgraced.
1:00:10 > 1:00:15It's always the family that suffers.
1:00:23 > 1:00:27No. This way there will be no investigation.
1:00:30 > 1:00:31They will have a future.
1:00:43 > 1:00:44There is one other way.
1:00:46 > 1:00:48Give me the names of some of your agents.
1:00:51 > 1:00:54Just a few names, that's all I need.
1:00:54 > 1:00:55HE SOBS
1:00:55 > 1:01:01Then I will be saved. My family will be saved!
1:01:01 > 1:01:03No? Please...
1:01:05 > 1:01:07Nice try, Viktor.
1:01:11 > 1:01:12OK.
1:01:17 > 1:01:19Well, do one thing for me, at least.
1:01:25 > 1:01:27Delay resuscitation.
1:01:29 > 1:01:30Oh, fuck.

1:02:41 > 1:02:45The thing you were searching for on the golf course? I found it.
1:02:46 > 1:02:48I could tell you where it is.
1:02:50 > 1:02:54You say that you went out there again tonight looking for it.
1:02:55 > 1:02:57What better way to prove your loyalty?
1:03:00 > 1:03:02How do I know that you found it?
1:03:04 > 1:03:06Dungeness.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14And what is your price?
1:03:18 > 1:03:19Legacy.
1:03:21 > 1:03:23I need to know if it's still live
1:03:23 > 1:03:26and where the other caches are sited.
1:03:26 > 1:03:28No, I know only of that one.
1:03:28 > 1:03:30Viktor, do you really want to go on playing games?
1:03:42 > 1:03:47If I do it, what you ask, it is the end of it for us.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49You and me, we are finished.
1:03:49 > 1:03:54I will not be some lackey in your service!
1:03:54 > 1:03:56No!
1:03:56 > 1:03:58Not an option now.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05North of hole 13, the bunker by the woods.
1:04:34 > 1:04:35You're soaked.
1:04:38 > 1:04:39Where to?
1:04:39 > 1:04:41Home.
1:04:42 > 1:04:44Mine.
1:04:46 > 1:04:49ENGINE STARTS
1:05:05 > 1:05:07What do your fellow students think about you
1:05:07 > 1:05:09bunking off work all the time?
1:05:10 > 1:05:13That I'm having an affair with a married woman.
1:05:16 > 1:05:18Wishful thinking.
1:05:25 > 1:05:27So you want to be my Count Vronski?
1:05:29 > 1:05:31Less of a shit, hopefully.
1:05:38 > 1:05:40Hugo wasn't always as you see him now.
1:05:44 > 1:05:45When we first met...
1:05:46 > 1:05:48..he had such certainty...
1:05:51 > 1:05:55..of where he was going and all he wanted to achieve.
1:05:58 > 1:06:00Looking at you reminds him of it.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06And what about you, what do you see when you look at me?
1:06:09 > 1:06:11You know the answer to that.
1:06:19 > 1:06:21I'll be whatever you want me to be, Anna.
1:06:23 > 1:06:24Or as little.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40- SHE MUMBLES - I can't!
1:06:40 > 1:06:41(I'm sorry.)
1:06:47 > 1:06:49I can't.
1:06:50 > 1:06:52I'm sorry.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59If we do this, I know I'll want more.
1:07:02 > 1:07:03I'll need more and...
1:07:05 > 1:07:07SHE SIGHS
1:07:07 > 1:07:09I don't think you're ready for that.
1:07:12 > 1:07:14And I don't get the chance to prove otherwise?
1:07:18 > 1:07:21I can't afford to take chances, Charles.
1:07:23 > 1:07:24How can I?
1:07:26 > 1:07:28Hmm.
1:07:46 > 1:07:50Maybe he was right, maybe fear does make cowards of us.
1:08:19 > 1:08:22INDISTINCT SPEECH
1:08:34 > 1:08:36CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
1:08:43 > 1:08:48- MARTHA:- The younger one is Rhykov. High flyer with the KGB.
1:08:48 > 1:08:49MI5 got wind of him last year
1:08:49 > 1:08:54when he was here on some "trade delegation".
1:08:54 > 1:08:57The other is Annikov.
1:08:57 > 1:09:00Party hardliner, Politburo apparatchik.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02No love lost between them, apparently.
1:09:02 > 1:09:06The usual story, the old guard being usurped by the new.
1:09:06 > 1:09:09I doubt they're here to take in the sights.
1:09:26 > 1:09:27Viktor's in trouble.
1:09:30 > 1:09:35Finding the Dungeness cache didn't let him off the hook over Eva Pym.
1:09:35 > 1:09:38He says his KGB minders are taking him and his wife back to Moscow.
1:09:38 > 1:09:40They fly from Stansted the day after tomorrow.
1:09:40 > 1:09:44They're making a detour en route to stay overnight in Suffolk.
1:09:44 > 1:09:48In a village a few miles from Sizewell Nuclear Power Station.
1:09:48 > 1:09:49Get down to Suffolk.
1:09:49 > 1:09:52I'll assign another agent on Legacy to meet you there.
1:09:52 > 1:09:55I don't need babysitting.
1:09:55 > 1:09:57He's ready to be turned. He's out of time, he's out of options.
1:09:57 > 1:09:59One more push, I've got him.
1:09:59 > 1:10:00That's assuming you're right.
1:10:02 > 1:10:05That your eagerness to prove you're not your father's son
1:10:05 > 1:10:07hasn't impaired your judgement.
1:10:07 > 1:10:09If they take Viktor back to Russia in disgrace,
1:10:09 > 1:10:12he's no use to us on Legacy or anything else.
1:10:12 > 1:10:14So either stop them or clear his name.
1:11:07 > 1:11:09KNOCK ON DOOR
1:11:22 > 1:11:25Hookey thought posing as a couple would be good cover.
1:11:32 > 1:11:34Any sign of our friends?
1:11:34 > 1:11:35They just went for a walk.
1:11:41 > 1:11:42There they are.
1:11:44 > 1:11:47His minders aren't letting him out of their sight.
1:11:49 > 1:11:52Not too close. He can't spot me.
1:11:54 > 1:11:55So what's the plan?
1:11:57 > 1:11:58Rotten apples.
1:12:01 > 1:12:03It's the game we play with each other, isn't it?
1:12:03 > 1:12:05Who is, who isn't?
1:12:05 > 1:12:07Maybe we can spice it up with one of our own.
1:12:09 > 1:12:10What do you have in mind?
1:12:13 > 1:12:17The oldest game in the book. Divide and rule.
1:12:42 > 1:12:44Lovely picture.
1:12:47 > 1:12:49Such a beautiful view.
1:12:53 > 1:12:55SHE LAUGHS
1:12:59 > 1:13:01Enjoy your meal.
1:13:39 > 1:13:42Oh, goodnight, sir.
1:14:11 > 1:14:13THEY SPEAK RUSSIAN
1:14:39 > 1:14:41KNOCKING
1:14:48 > 1:14:50You're on.
1:15:10 > 1:15:12DOOR OPENS
1:15:31 > 1:15:32HE SNIFFS
1:15:37 > 1:15:38DOOR CLOSES
1:16:00 > 1:16:04We should hear from Viktor soon. If it worked.
1:16:08 > 1:16:12This'll be our first and last time in the field together.
1:16:13 > 1:16:15When Legacy is done, I'm resigning.
1:16:17 > 1:16:19Thanks.
1:16:20 > 1:16:24Not now perhaps, or tomorrow,
1:16:24 > 1:16:28but next time there's a security breach,
1:16:28 > 1:16:30another Philby or Blake, because of my father,
1:16:30 > 1:16:34and human nature being what it is, the finger will always point at me.
1:16:38 > 1:16:39It's about credibility.
1:16:40 > 1:16:42And he stole that from me.
1:16:44 > 1:16:46He stole more than that.
1:17:07 > 1:17:09PHONE RINGS
1:17:11 > 1:17:13Yeah?
1:17:38 > 1:17:42Did it pay off with Rhykov? Are they off your back?
1:17:43 > 1:17:46Annikov thinks he was recruited by British security
1:17:46 > 1:17:47when he was here last time.
1:17:50 > 1:17:51Clever.
1:17:51 > 1:17:54What about Legacy?
1:17:54 > 1:18:00It's going live. Annikov says there is another cache here, nearby.
1:18:00 > 1:18:01I have the details.
1:18:03 > 1:18:05They have an agent at the power station,
1:18:05 > 1:18:08he will empty the cache before dawn.
1:18:08 > 1:18:11They plan to attack the power station tomorrow.
1:18:32 > 1:18:34Here.
1:18:50 > 1:18:52From here, straight ahead.
1:19:15 > 1:19:17(Yes, yes.)
1:19:17 > 1:19:18Where?
1:19:18 > 1:19:20There.
1:19:21 > 1:19:24METAL DETECTOR CRACKLES
1:19:26 > 1:19:28METAL DETECTOR BUZZES
1:19:42 > 1:19:44Gently, gently.
1:19:44 > 1:19:47ENGINE APPROACHES
1:19:57 > 1:20:00Wait, wait. Check for booby traps.
1:20:12 > 1:20:15FOOTSTEPS RUSTLE
1:20:21 > 1:20:22Step away.
1:20:22 > 1:20:24I'll stay.

1:23:13 > 1:23:15Viktor?
1:23:16 > 1:23:18Keep in touch.
1:24:12 > 1:24:15One of our guests left this for you, a Mr Viktor Koslov.
1:24:50 > 1:24:53What news of Viktor?
1:24:53 > 1:24:56As you anticipated, Rhykov was blamed for the missing
1:24:56 > 1:24:58Sizewell cache and the loss of their agent.
1:24:58 > 1:25:01He's en route to a labour camp as we speak.
1:25:01 > 1:25:03Viktor was rewarded with promotion to Lieutenant Colonel
1:25:03 > 1:25:06for his sterling contribution to the cause.
1:25:06 > 1:25:09The start of a long and fruitful relationship.
1:25:09 > 1:25:11Thanks to you.
1:25:12 > 1:25:16I asked you here to discuss your letter of resignation.
1:25:16 > 1:25:20A few facts I need to acquaint you with regarding your father.
1:25:20 > 1:25:23Yes, he was recruited by the Russians after the war.
1:25:23 > 1:25:27Yes, he became one of their most trusted agents.
1:25:27 > 1:25:29During all those years,
1:25:29 > 1:25:33when they thought he worked solely for them, he was working for us...
1:25:33 > 1:25:35as a double agent.
1:25:37 > 1:25:39I know this because I was his case officer.
1:25:43 > 1:25:46It was your father who first alerted us about Legacy.
1:25:46 > 1:25:49When he died our radar screen went blank.
1:25:49 > 1:25:52We knew as little as the Russians as to where he'd buried
1:25:52 > 1:25:53the Dungeness cache.
1:25:53 > 1:25:56When our trace on Viktor showed that you were friendly with him
1:25:56 > 1:25:58- at university... - You fucking used me.
1:25:58 > 1:26:00I prefer to think motivated you.
1:26:03 > 1:26:04The most important thing now
1:26:04 > 1:26:08is that you know your father was a man you can be proud of.
1:26:08 > 1:26:12I hope that will also motivate you, should you decide to remain with us.
1:26:14 > 1:26:19Our allegiance must always be to the Service, Thoroughgood.
1:26:19 > 1:26:21What we feel about an individual within it is irrelevant.
1:26:47 > 1:26:49Seemed to buy it all right, didn't he?
1:26:49 > 1:26:51Well, I was convinced.
1:26:51 > 1:26:54Damn lucky he didn't take a swing at you though.
1:26:56 > 1:26:59Yes, touch and go there for a minute.
1:27:00 > 1:27:04Still, good to know one's not lost one's touch.
1:27:52 > 1:27:55CHILDREN LAUGH
1:27:57 > 1:28:00Oh, my! Come on.
1:28:01 > 1:28:03Daddy, Daddy. Read us a story.
