0:00:02 > 0:00:03I always liked you Harry...
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Your sure moral sense...
0:00:05 > 0:00:11Thing is, though, that kind of certainty limits a man...
0:00:11 > 0:00:12keeps him small.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16Betrayal is a cancer. Let it eat your soul...
0:00:16 > 0:00:17not mine.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- Marry me, Ruth.- I can't, Harry.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25We couldn't be more together than we are right now.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- My name isn't Lucas North. - Damn you!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Time for someone else to stand on the wall.- This isn't you talking.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Come and meet me.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36He blames you, Harry. He'll kill you.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37It's my turn.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41If you're going to shoot me, shoot me now.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Shoot me now.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The buzzards are circling. You're the spy they want to kick back into the cold.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I'd start preparing for life after MI5.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12CAR HORN SOUNDS
0:04:31 > 0:04:32- Sir... - Yes?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34We're here.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Thank you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Apologies for giving you the run-around this morning,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42flattered as I am to be deemed worthy of a three-man unit.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It was just two officers.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh, yes. My mistake.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Sir.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Good luck today.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Sir Harry Pearce,
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Over the last three days, this tribunal has had a full account
0:05:13 > 0:05:16of your involvement in the Albany matter.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21And the charges made against you are of the utmost severity.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23The facts are not in dispute.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27You traded a state secret to a foreign power
0:05:27 > 0:05:31for the life of an officer with whom you have a personal relationship.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34My personal relationships are not relevant.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Excuse me? - I had a choice to make,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41between two of this nation's intelligence assets -
0:05:41 > 0:05:43the Albany deterrent and Ms Evershed.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47There was a risk I would lose Albany.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50But I knew the technology was worthless...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52of little value to the nation.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55My assessment of Ms Evershed was the reverse.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I've prepared a report...
0:06:00 > 0:06:05detailing her key role in several Security Service operations.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09The discovery of the 2009 Birmingham plot,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13saving the life of a former section chief from far-right terrorists,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16sacrificing her own freedom to ensure mine.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17PHONE RINGS
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Hello. - Her work has saved many lives,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24often at grave cost to herself.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I did not put a personal relationship above our security.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- (The Home Secretary...) - I made an operational decision in the nation's interest.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Please excuse me.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00The tribunal needs more time to examine your submissions.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04In light of the eight weeks enforced leave that you have already had,
0:07:04 > 0:07:09it seems unwise to further waste your expertise while we deliberate.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14However, any return to work must be on a probationary basis.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Deviation from protocol will result in immediate suspension.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Erin Watts has been sitting in your seat.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28You are required to retain her as section chief.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Do you accept the terms?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35I serve my country in whatever capacity asked of me.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Someone jammed the guillotine.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Yes, whoever it was,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44no doubt they'll want me to do something in return.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Dimitri heard from Six in Senegal this morning.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48They found Lucas North's remains.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50They were where John Bateman said they'd be.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I've had two months to go over it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I can't figure out why he wanted me on that rooftop.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I think he wanted forgiveness.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57So, can I see that report?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Not while I still draw breath.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11No, ma'am.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I've been arguing for a long time we need to do something, er...
0:09:15 > 0:09:18decisive about the situation there.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Britain has been our loyal friend,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25but we can't let sentimentality stay our hand.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Not when action so clearly needs to be taken.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Absolutely.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'll be on the next flight to London.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Thank you, ma'am.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Do I have you to thank, Home Secretary,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47for intervening in my tribunal?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Of course it was me, Harry.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Who else is as fond of you?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Unfortunately, I could only
0:10:54 > 0:10:56get you a stay of execution, not the full pardon.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59They want you out, Harry. They'll get their way eventually.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00No surprises.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I'm aware I have not played nicely with the other children.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Would it have killed you to pick up a golf club?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It may well have done, yes.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, pragmatism wins out for the moment.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15We need our best security people now more than ever.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Bin Laden's death wasn't quite the panacea we'd all hoped for.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20You've seen the recent JIC reports?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Yes. And for once, they've got it right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28If the turmoil in the Middle East sees hardline Islamists taking power,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31we face a nightmare scenario.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33If we do nothing and your scenario comes to pass
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Britain will be the whipping boy. We struggle to defend ourselves as it is, but...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40if they have the backing of governments...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Is there a long-term strategy?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Yes, we reposition ourselves.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Start winning friends and influencing people.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Particularly the new big boys,
0:11:50 > 0:11:51China, Russia, India, Brazil...
0:11:51 > 0:11:55and, Harry, that includes your side of things.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Share our expertise. Build relationships.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I'm an intelligence officer. Not a diplomat.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05We're all going to have to be diplomats in the new age, Harry.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Sir Harry.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Welcome back.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Erin Watts, I presume.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I hear you decommissioned Beth Bailey.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Her conduct during the Westhouse operation,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56her links with the drug cartel, were unacceptable.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I expect higher standards.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02It's an honour to serve in Section D, sir.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I've studied your career.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Just call me Harry.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I wouldn't associate too closely with me if I were you.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You're on the fast track to great things.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15I'm on the opposite trajectory, wouldn't want any dirt to rub off.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Thank you for your concern.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18But I've no interest in being a politician.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21PHONE RINGS
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Excuse me.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Ruth,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'd like to see any communiques that came in for me, please.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32She'll loosen up after a few years.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35How was your, um...break?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38At one particularly dark moment, I actually considered gardening.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45She's altered my bloody chair. It took me 10 years to get that right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Well, I'll get Q branch to have a look at it.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- You expecting something? - Yes.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Who processed this?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Er...
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I don't know. I...
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Who processed this?
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Calum Reed. Nice to meet you.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11You filed it low priority?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Er, yeah.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16It was sent to a defunct Five PO Box,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19from former cut-out, Max Witt, codenamed Sharecropper.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Active during the '70s and '80s. Worked for us out of London and East Berlin.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I decoded it, nonsense. The guy had Alzheimer's.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Had?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Yeah. Died three days ago.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Sorry, did you know him?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Give me the abridged version.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Just said he needed to meet you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38He was 71.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Hadn't worked for us for 20 years.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Low priority, was I wrong?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42No.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Just young.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52What?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I think he likes me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- ON SPEAKER PHONE:- 'Harry?'
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Tariq.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Tell Calum to find out where they're holding Max Witt's body.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- 'I want a post-mortem.' - Will do.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Max Witt.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Cold War cut-out.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52MI6 officer.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Codenamed Sharecropper.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Murdered some time during the last 72 hours.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01He was force-fed an overdose of his medication.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05He'd been trying to contact me, first with the message here,
0:17:05 > 0:17:10and then another to my home asking me to check a dead drop he used to use.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12It had this message from Max.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18What I'm about to tell you exceeds all your security clearances...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20so, you didn't hear it from me.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Ilya Andreevich Gavrik.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Former KGB legend,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29oligarch,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33and Russia's new minister for international development.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35And your opposite number in Berlin.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40This is Elena Gavrik, Ilya's wife,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43former MI6 asset, Codenamed Tourmaline.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45She communicated via Max,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48and became the best Soviet source of the whole 1980s.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50We had Gavrik's wife?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55CIA Deputy Director James Coaver.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57We were stationed together in Berlin.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Jim and I turned her in '81, when I was with Six.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03This is Cold War stuff. How come it isn't declassified?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Well, Tourmaline was never exposed, never extracted.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08She's still in Russia with Gavrik.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Why?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Plans were made for her defection but it never came to fruition.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19If Max meant she was in danger of exposure,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21the fallout will be catastrophic.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25The wife of a senior Russian cabinet minister,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27exposed as a Western spy.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Relations with the Kremlin would simply cease.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33We need to find out what Max knew.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34And why it got him killed.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Whatever this is, it can go no further.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Ok, Ruth, find out whatever you can about Ilya and Elena Gavrik.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Sweep all dead-drops he could have used, obsolete or otherwise.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Calum, work with Tariq, focus on his house.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Find out who visited him in the last three days.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53CCTV in Witt's street went down the day before he died.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55How about private cameras nearby?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57One step ahead of you.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Building opposite his has one that faces the street.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- And have you checked from three days ago?- Yep.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Lots of mums with prams,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07blue-rinse brigade,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09and then this guy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Takes CCTV out, keeps his head down,
0:19:15 > 0:19:16He's been trained.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19There's no chance of ID-ing him at that distance, though.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Could try a motion analysis filter.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Tariq, you prepare the match fields, if I do the model?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Should I be getting my hopes up? - They're rolling it out at airports.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Everyone moves uniquely. Footfall, weight distribution, pace.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Your walk's like a fingerprint.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37OK.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ready to scan for matches?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I'll start with a tight sample first. Just the surrounding streets.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Whoa, yeah. Got a possible motion match.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Getting into a car a mile away.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03It's a hire car, registered to a Richard Costa.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Flat 1, 8 Park Walk, Lambeth. - Hopefully Mr Costa will have some answers.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Come on, get Dimitri to meet us there.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46OK, ghost sweep. Leave everything as you find it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I've got a laptop.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I can copy the hard drive. Won't leave a trace.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25How long will that take?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27This bad boy can rip 2 Gigs a second. Under a minute.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Damn it!- What? - There's a countdown on the password.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Enter the right one in ten seconds or get locked out.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Move!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- You OK?- Fine.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It's like we were never here!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Are they all right?- Yes. But I take it personally
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- when somebody tries to blow up my officers.- I called in a favour at Six.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10They have someone on the inside at a housekeeping service
0:22:10 > 0:22:12who cleans for Moscow's great and good.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17And the word is that Ilya and Elena Gavrik left Russia over a week ago.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20On the quiet. No-one's meant to know they're gone.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Gone where?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Here. They're in London.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26That's impossible. He's a Russian minister.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29We'd have been briefed. It would be on the news.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30So he doesn't want us to know he's here.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Gavrik sneaks into the country doing something he doesn't want us to know about.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37His wife, your former asset, wants to warn us.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41The only way she knows how to contact you is via Max Witt, like she did in the '80s.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Gavrik finds out and has Witt silenced by the owner of our exploding laptop -
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- who now knows that we're onto him. - Gavrik worships Elena.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53But if he's found out she betrayed him, she's already dead.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Calum, what about the laptop? - The hard drive's in bits,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Tariq's working on it. Data might be recoverable.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01But we need to find Gavrik. Get surveillance on him.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05No. I know this man. He's too good. He'll see you coming.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08We have one person dead already. We have to tread carefully.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12This is a senior politician. So... no direct surveillance on Gavrik.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19You heard him.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Classified diplomatic flight from Moscow landed at RAF Brize Norton nine days ago -
0:23:44 > 0:23:50passengers one male, one female picked up by a car with government plates. All other details redacted.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- We smuggled him in? - We could track him from that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55If Harry had the balls to let us.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Calum, a word.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Inside or outside this building,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11you represent this nation's security services.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15And since I brought you here, you also represent me - show some respect.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19You knew I wouldn't be doffing my cap to dead white males
0:24:19 > 0:24:22who still think they can run it all from their armchairs.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24If you think Harry Pearce is one of them,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26you need to do your homework.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Section Chief pet!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37What can I say? She admires my work.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41So, Admiral,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44you kill anyone when you were in the SBS?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Yeah, and do you know what? I miss it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Not another one. Come in. Knocking isn't customary around here.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Someone helped Gavrik into the country,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10opened the back door for him and then covered it up.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14We've pulled GPS data from the official car that picked him up at Brize Norton.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17We can track it, find him.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Harry...
0:25:19 > 0:25:24Let us gather live intel on Gavrik, find out what he's doing here.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26You say that he's good.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28So are your team.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29So am I.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35You get the merest inkling that he or his people are on to you...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38..you pull back.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Movement by the entrance.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Receiving your image, Alpha Two.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Probable negative.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55A woman on her own.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Leningrad rules. Never exit a building together.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Old spies, creatures of habit.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Stay on the woman. We need to see her face.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Come on, love. Give us a twirl.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Confirmed. That's Tourmaline. - Alive and well.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21No-one else coming.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24No, hang on.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25White male.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It's Gavrik. Positive ID.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31You are a go, Alpha Three.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37'Always when I'm on my break.'
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Clear signal. - Alpha One, are you receiving?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Pursuing.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Alpha One. Stay two streets away. Do not let them see you.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27They're stopping.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29They seem to be heading towards the Denham club.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32OK, I'm pulling over. I'm going to follow on foot.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05It's Towers.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Control, they're meeting the Home Secretary.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Harry!
0:28:30 > 0:28:32My cardiologist will swing for you.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35What the hell are you doing skulking around in my drive?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37You smuggled a senior member of the Russian Cabinet
0:28:37 > 0:28:40into this country without briefing the security services.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I'd quite like to know why.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46How dare you challenge me like this!
0:28:47 > 0:28:51My God, after I supported you, stood up for you.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I couldn't say anything, damn it. They were the terms.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Terms?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57You were about to be told.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01We're getting into bed with Russia, Harry.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Secret, high-level talks over the next few weeks.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06The aim is nothing short of a new special relationship.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08A special relationship with Russia?!
0:29:08 > 0:29:11America is getting more isolationist by the day. We need a new friend.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Russia doesn't have the same image problems in the Middle East.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Gives us a chance to seem a little more chummy
0:29:17 > 0:29:19with whatever new regimes pop up there.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Oh, get your head out of the Cold War, Harry.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26They're not all that different from us these days.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Gavrik is their lead negotiator.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31That man has personally executed British assets.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34He asked for you.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35What?!
0:29:35 > 0:29:37He admires you greatly.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41That's why he wants you involved on the security operation during the talks.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44It's why you were reinstated.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Now, there's a bash for the Russians tomorrow night.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Diplomatic reception doo-dah to give them a cover reason to be here.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Can't keep them holed up for ever.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I want you there, making nice with the old enemy.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Can I rely on you, Harry?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05You can rely on me, Home Secretary.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I know you and Gavrik were...
0:30:10 > 0:30:11..intertwined.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Anything I should know?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Nothing springs to mind.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Good.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42There are people already on their way.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I've triggered an alarm.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47No, you haven't.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Hello again.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56You were in the park.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I didn't expect you'd recognise me.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02The last time you saw me I was a child.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11I know about my mother,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Tourmaline.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Sasha?
0:32:16 > 0:32:17That's a Stechkin.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20You're FSB.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Tell me one thing...
0:32:21 > 0:32:23before I kill you.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Do you ever think about the lives you ruin?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I don't know what you mean.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Stop!
0:32:31 > 0:32:33She's a spy for the West.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Turned by you, to spy on her country...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39..on her husband, my father.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Your best Russian asset since '81.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Someone's spun you quite a yarn.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I found this, six weeks ago.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56She'd hidden it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00A request for information...
0:33:00 > 0:33:01from you.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Your codes, your cipher, your MI5 codename.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08It led me to everything else.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Do you deny you wrote it?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13I don't think I can.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20You could have shot me the moment I came in here,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24which makes me think that perhaps killing me is not your only option.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26No.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Just the most attractive.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31And, of course, you're not stupid enough to believe
0:33:31 > 0:33:35that I'm the only person who knows that your mother is still active.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41You burn her file,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43sever all contact and then you can live.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49I've told no-one else what I know.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Yet.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52If you've discovered a spy,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55you really should report it to your superiors.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04I'm part of my parents' protection detail.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I'll be watching you.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Now, you send her a message.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13You tell her that her work for you is complete
0:34:13 > 0:34:14and you say goodbye.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20She has given you 30 years.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Let her go.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Or I'll be seeing you again.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38DOOR OPENS
0:34:39 > 0:34:41DOOR CLOSES
0:34:56 > 0:34:58You feeling too British for a hug?
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Too American for a handshake?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05My goodness, diplomacy in action.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06You look well, Jim.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Well, younger wife.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Gianna's 39.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I see her talking to guys her age...
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Next thing you know,
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I'm on something called an elliptical trainer.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Now, I know it's early,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22but I am damned if I'm going to toast our reunion with pub coffee.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Single malt?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27With water, as a concession to the youth of the hour.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29I've missed that shit.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32And a vodka tonic on the tab.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36So I was surprised to hear you were in London.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Has the interrogation begun already?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Not at all. I'm just feeling slighted that you didn't look me up.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Ah, we're still buddies, hell.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Shall we?
0:35:47 > 0:35:53Langley just doesn't want our hands in each other's pockets any more.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56The Middle East is turning itself inside out.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59My bosses think you guys are too close to the action.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01That's ridiculous.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Yeah, maybe. But Tripoli to London's only a three hour flight.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07So what brings you to London?
0:36:07 > 0:36:11I'm keeping an eye on your deal with the Russians. What do you think?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13How did you find out about that?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I'll pass on that one, Mr Quizmaster.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Yeah, I don't know how much you know about this, Harry.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22But if this thing goes through,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25you guys are going to be more of a poodle to Moscow than you ever were to us.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29So what's it to Uncle Sam? I thought he wanted out of this relationship.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32It doesn't mean he wants you to start seeing other people.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34It'll knock the whole thing off-balance.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Have the President call the Prime Minister. - He will, when the time's right.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Right now, we're hoping your government's going
0:36:42 > 0:36:45to come to its senses on its own. We don't want to...
0:36:45 > 0:36:46play the bully-boys.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Well, not this time, anyway.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Now, why don't you stop flirting,
0:36:53 > 0:36:55introduce me to the monkey you've got on your back.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Elena Gavrik.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Now that is a blast from the past.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04That's what I'm keen to ascertain.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Excuse me?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Have you had recent contact with her?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09We burnt her file in '84.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11You were none too pleased.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I don't recall there being much of a consultation process,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16but I wouldn't go back on it.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20And, hey, it was you that had the "connection" to her.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23HE CHUCKLES
0:37:23 > 0:37:25I have to go.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Harry...
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I really do still think of us as friends, you know.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33I know.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37You shaved two years off your wife's age.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Gianna is 41.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42You still trying to impress me, James?
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Harry. I've reformed data from the remains of the laptop.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10It's Ilya Gavrik, his itineraries, likely protection measures,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12blood type, distinguishing features.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17All the information you need for an assassination. This is a kill order.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Our target took out Witt, now he's coming for Gavrik.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21This was on the drive too.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Architectural blueprint. Pull it out.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26I've just seen this.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30I've just been reviewing the security schematic.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33It's Bannon Hall, the venue for the Russian reception.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36They're going to move on Gavrik tonight.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Inform the FSB that this will be a joint security op.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Don't let them give you any jurisdictional bollocks.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45This should be interesting.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51There's a lot of people who'd want Gavrik dead.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53But I still don't see where Max Witt fits in.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55I think I do.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02You're still running Elena?!
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Harry, if Gavrik finds out that his wife is still spying for us...
0:39:07 > 0:39:08I'm not running Elena.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10I didn't write that.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Someone posing as me contacted Elena via Max.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16That means they know all your codes.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19That's all your MI5 communique protocols.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22It's a breach at the highest level.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25How did you get this?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Sasha Gavrik. Elena's son,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29he's an FSB officer.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31He was waiting for me at home last night.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Put a gun in my face.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36He found that message and believes what it suggests -
0:39:36 > 0:39:37that I'm still running her.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40He's demanded I break off all contact immediately,
0:39:40 > 0:39:41Which I'm powerless to do.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45So someone wants information from Elena
0:39:45 > 0:39:47to get to her husband.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Max Witt realises it isn't the real Harry Pearce, tries to contact you
0:39:51 > 0:39:54and he gets killed for his trouble.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56I have to talk to Elena.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59See what other intel she's passed on to my impersonator.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00That's risky.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03If she's exposed, the partnership falls through.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04What choice do we have?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Look, I have to go tonight as a guest.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09It'll be a chance to talk to Elena.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I have a plus one, will you help?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Sure.- I'm sorry, I realise it's hardly the perfect night out but...
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Well, we've had worse.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- Shall I brief the team?- No.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24They need to focus on protecting Gavrik.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27This is my problem for now.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Very glamorous.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Yes.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54We'll fit in perfectly.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09'Report.'
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Perimeter secure. Got you all on GPS.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Calum.- 'The Russians are vetting the staff.'
0:41:14 > 0:41:16On site scans are clear.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19No trace of explosives or weapons coming in.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Every guest and staff member cleared on a database.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26'Can you believe there's no-one here by the name of Assassin?'
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Alpha teams, Delta One and Two have arrived.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Momma Bear and Poppa Bear.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- OK?- I'm fine.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Ilya.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18Harry Pearce.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22I thought we'd grow old and die without ever meeting.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Thought or hoped?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Elena, I've been unfaithful to you.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31I thought about this man every day, every night, for many years.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Am I supposed to know what my husband is talking about?
0:42:37 > 0:42:38Forgive me, I'm Harry Pearce.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41And this was all a very long time ago.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Should I introduce myself?
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Oh, sorry. Rachel Wallace, this is Ilya and Elena Gavrik.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Rachel.- Lovely to meet you, Rachel.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51These two are making eyes at each other.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55You and I should get a drink, leave them to their nostalgia.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16You see the door in the corner of the room?
0:43:17 > 0:43:20You need to go through it at, um,
0:43:20 > 0:43:24exactly two minutes past eight by the main wall clock.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28Fresh peaches. That is the difference.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29To your health.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14It's been at least six months since someone wanted to kill me.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16I was beginning to feel under appreciated.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19- It's not too late to cancel. - Oh, no. I won't be intimidated.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22I never have been, I never will be.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26I hear you've had problems recently, Harry.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28I hope they're behind you.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Standing here talking to you, I don't feel as if anything is behind me.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35But you've done rather better, Ilya.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- Couple of hundred million, wasn't it? - Oh, I was lucky.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Like so many former KGB men.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Strange how the guardians of the Soviet state
0:44:44 > 0:44:45were the first to loot its corpse.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Friends shouldn't judge each other.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53And it looks like we are to be close friends.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55- Well, will you excuse me? - Yes, of course.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Delta One, everything all right?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18I admire your attention to detail, but I refuse to put my hand up
0:45:18 > 0:45:22every time I want to leave the room. Concentrate on Minister Gavrik.
0:45:25 > 0:45:26Miss Evershed.
0:45:26 > 0:45:31Ah, actually it's Miss Wallace tonight, Home Secretary.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33- Oh, balls, have I ruined everything? - No, not at all.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36Just...speak normally, please.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Right. Yes, of course.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41I just wanted to say, that report our mutual friend prepared on you.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43It's an impressive read.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47It strikes me that you've been somewhat under-promoted.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50I've never really thought about it.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- Home Secretary? - (Yes.)
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Once more unto the breach.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57Do think about it.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Sir, this area is off-limits to guests.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32Sorry, I'm looking for the bathroom.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34It's this way.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42SHE YELLS OUT
0:46:44 > 0:46:46RADIO PICKS UP THE STRUGGLE
0:46:46 > 0:46:48All units, check in.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51HE GRUNTS
0:47:01 > 0:47:03That could be something.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Everything's something tonight. Go.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12Easy there, Vlad.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- No running in the corridors. - One of our units isn't responding.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52Oh, my God!
0:47:52 > 0:47:55I am so sorry. Oh...
0:47:55 > 0:47:57Sorry.
0:48:05 > 0:48:06We have to meet.
0:48:06 > 0:48:10On Friday. At the opera house, for day rehearsals.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I can be there alone.
0:48:12 > 0:48:17Don't try to contact me through the old method, it's too dangerous.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Call this number using a clean phone.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Don't say anything.
0:48:21 > 0:48:26Wait for ten seconds if the meeting's on, then hang up.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Am I in danger?
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Yes.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56I'm with the FSB team leader.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58There's a non-responsive unit down here.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02No exterior breaches. Must be someone already on the inside.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I'm running guest and staff logs against CCTV.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06All units, missing staff member.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08He's a wine waiter.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18They're everywhere.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Pull all staff off the floor. Now.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Success?
0:49:30 > 0:49:31Shall we?
0:49:36 > 0:49:39There you are. Let us have a drink together.
0:49:39 > 0:49:40Now, who has a good toast?
0:49:40 > 0:49:42To old enemies.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43New friends.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Nadia?
0:50:07 > 0:50:10Code Six! Get the Minister and his wife out of here now!
0:50:10 > 0:50:12Russian officer down. Attack in progress.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15He's not a waiter anymore. Repeat,
0:50:15 > 0:50:17'the assassin's changed clothes.'
0:50:18 > 0:50:20All units, stop moving.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23I repeat, stand still.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29Harry, behind Gavrik, right shoulder!
0:50:30 > 0:50:31SCREAMING
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Drop the weapon!
0:50:33 > 0:50:34GUNSHOT
0:50:34 > 0:50:37SCREAMING AND PANIC
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Go! Go, go!
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Are you all right?
0:50:46 > 0:50:48I'm fine.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19He's in the east wing service corridor.
0:51:34 > 0:51:35Stop!
0:51:41 > 0:51:43GUNSHOTS
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Target down.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42It's me.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44Collison's dead.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46No, no trail.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Yes.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Otherwise, a complete success.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57Marcus Collison. Ex-services,
0:52:57 > 0:53:00British-born mercenary of the most expensive kind.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04Whoever wanted Gavrik killed outsourced it.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07The phone we found on him had five recent calls from Chechnya.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09So, in terms of exactly who ordered the hit,
0:53:09 > 0:53:10it's a case of "pick a warlord".
0:53:10 > 0:53:13Well done, everyone, tonight. Thank you.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39Calum, Six need a full debrief before they can act in Chechnya.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43- Make sure they get everything we have on this.- Already done.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Got to give it to him. He's good.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51Yeah.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53I sort of hate him for it.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Why do we do it?
0:54:10 > 0:54:12- Hmm?- This job?
0:54:15 > 0:54:17You first.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20I actually enjoy it. But there's probably something wrong with me.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Probably?
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Let me guess what your evening has in store.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30You're going to go home to your spotless, minimalist flat.
0:54:30 > 0:54:36Steamed fish, then brush up on your Ukrainian economic history,
0:54:36 > 0:54:38a quick thousand abdominal crunches,
0:54:38 > 0:54:41and then your usual, what, three hours sleep?
0:54:43 > 0:54:45I guess I must be pretty easy to read.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44- Mummy!- Hey!
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Hey, have you been a good girl for Granny?
0:55:51 > 0:55:53- Yes.- Do you promise?- Yes.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55Come here, you.
0:55:55 > 0:55:56I love you, Mummy.
0:55:56 > 0:56:00Oh, God, I love you, too.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24They say the past is a foreign country.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27One that's difficult to leave, it would seem.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38I've been wondering how a contract killer,
0:56:38 > 0:56:41or his, er, Chechen warlord employer,
0:56:41 > 0:56:43would go about obtaining the top-level intel
0:56:43 > 0:56:46that they would need to pose as you.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53What aren't you telling me, Harry?
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Elena wasn't just an asset.
0:56:59 > 0:57:00We were lovers.
0:57:05 > 0:57:07You burnt her because of your relationship?
0:57:09 > 0:57:13- Sounds simple when you put it like that. - Nothing about this is simple, Harry.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24But we can unpick it. Together.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28But the first thing we have to do is deal with Sasha Gavrik, put him out of action.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35We can't.
0:57:37 > 0:57:39Why not?
0:58:00 > 0:58:02Because he's my son.
0:58:16 > 0:58:21Did I fail to make it clear how vital this partnership is?
0:58:21 > 0:58:23You're compromised with the Gavriks.
0:58:23 > 0:58:26- I have not been running Elena. - Bullshit.
0:58:26 > 0:58:28- We've lost a computer. - It's a direct attack on MI5.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30Whoever has the laptop claims
0:58:30 > 0:58:32they'll decrypt the files, then release them.
0:58:32 > 0:58:35One of the assets is spying on the Russians.
0:58:35 > 0:58:37If they're exposed, their lives will be at risk.
0:58:37 > 0:58:40- I want you to look into Jim Coaver. - Investigate a CIA director?
0:58:40 > 0:58:43- I need to speak to Harry Pearce. - What are you going to do?
0:58:43 > 0:58:46What I must. It's just you and me, Harry.
