01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Katrine Poulsen.

She's Danish Secret Service.

Go back to the office.

You need me there.

Get out or we lose him.

And that's on you.

Arguments over Scottish

Independence rage.

Scotland's share of the oil revenues

has been far too high for too long.

Stop it!

- That's not me.

- Certainly looks like you.

It's a fake. That's a fake.

Redback has got

to be bigger than this.

They came within a ball hair

of k*lling the Prime Minister.

Drop the g*n!

We believe the attempt on your life

was funded by a group

who are also

backing Scottish t*rrorists.

I've been brought

into the inner sanctum.

Pub on the Borders

in two or three days.

Localised expl*si*n.

Maximum publicity.

Tell Laird it's on.

This could cost us the union.

And it's scheduled already, is it,

for tomorrow afternoon, this action?

Once you approve it, yes.

You see, the difficulty

is that it's not in my hands

because the pub is Danish-owned.

So, I've had to run this

past Michael Jespersen,

who has delegated the decision

to his deputy.

Poulsen?

Oh, God.

I've been on this for two years.

What, now I've got to bring

in someone who I don't even trust?

Temple Laird.

Scottish nationalist t*rror1st.

Intel has him behind three attacks

on English-owned properties

and two on European businesses

this year.

He's been arrested four times.

Police can never find

the evidence to charge him.

And no fatalities?

No. So far he's always called it in,

but narratives like his

always end in m*rder.

I thought you were gonna concentrate

on Redback.

We believe that Laird

is funded by Russian money.

- You believe?

- Can we just concentrate on Laird?

You think that Russia

would fund a terror attack in the UK?

I've seen a Russian terror attack

in the middle of London.

I watched the agonising deaths

of two men, so

Listen, what you're talking about,

those were isolated attacks.

What we're trying to assess

is whether this lunatic is capable

of a mass-fatality event.

Sorry. Do you think

we're winging this?

We've been tracking him

for two years.

All of our reports are verified

by forensic psychologists.

He is dangerous.

And in 24 hours we can lock him up.

OK, Laird's cell.

Do you have an agent

embedded with them?

Yes.

Well, then I need to speak to them.

Look, as soon as we've won

the referendum,

I will of course renegotiate

the Continental Shelf Act.

I mean, it's obvious.

Scotland's share of the oil revenues

has been far too high

for far too long.

How are they getting away with it?

How do people not realise?

I think they do.

I think people know it's a fake.

Really?

That's not what we're getting.

Tell me.

Private polling Forget

Forget what the papers are saying.

Private polling has support for

Scottish independence at 53 percent.

Do you still think most people

believe the film's a fake?

The revolt against reason continues.

Idiocrasy in your own party

fans the flames.

People choose to believe the film

because of your honesty,

which is a drum

you're very fond of beating.

Makes them feel bad about themselves.

The film gives them an opportunity

to tell you to f*ck off.

I should k*ll the referendum.

Resign.

No.

Mr. Ogilvy

thinks it's the best option.

I think it's the only option.

Absolutely not. Adam

We're gonna win this.

I didn't agree to this!

Hey.

Katrine Poulsen. DSIS.

And I didn't agree to you planting

a b*mb in a pub, but here we are.

Because the pub is Danish-owned

we had to run it past DSIS.

So?

Why doesn't Laird

plant the b*mb himself?

Laird's a strategist, all right?

He never handles expl*sives.

His dad's old SNLA mate,

Deke McAllister,

assembles the devices.

Laird's father blew himself up

when Laird was ten.

When the device is operational,

Laird gets one of his soldiers

to do the rest.

OK. Talk me through it.

Right, so tomorrow

I pick up the package.

I drive out to The Skanda pub.

I head into the gents

where I disable the b*mb.

Slide it into a cupboard space

and then call in the warning.

But the b*mb

has never been touched by Laird.

Kelvin will have car trouble.

He'll call Laird.

Laird will pick him up.

The police will follow Laird.

I'm wearing a wire.

No, no, no. No wire.

No, we went through this.

- It's a risk we can't take.

- OK, OK. No wire.

As soon as Laird drops me off,

the police pull him over.

And then the TNT residue from Kelvin

links Laird to the b*mb.

GPS for Laird's croft.

And just in case

The transmitter's in Laird's lighter.

I didn't tell you to do that.

Nobody saw me.

How dangerous is Temple Laird?

Jesus Christ.

He's insane! All right?

He's sourced AK-47s

and suicide vests.

And if independence doesn't happen,

he will carry out

a mass-casualty attack.

Have you seen anything like that?

You're planting a live b*mb

in a crowded pub!

It won't be live.

Look, I was yodi for three years

in Afghanistan

and I dealt with 100 roadside bombs.

I know what I'm

doing!

Is this happening or not?

I don't know.

Just leave it with me,

all right? Just

What's that on your phone?

When I was asleep,

Theo wanted to tell me

that he loved me, so my wife said,

"Let's leave a message

on Daddy's phone."

Aw, that's the sweetest.

He left you a message.

What age is he?

Twenty-seven.

No, he'll be six next month.

I love you.

You know, if we lose Scotland,

they become

the seventh richest nation.

We drop to sixteenth.

Seventeenth.

God.

Adam's taking a massive risk.

There is a solution.

But I can't suggest it to Adam.

What is it?

This solution?

The referendum's

going to be a digital vote.

I know people, who if needs be,

can tweak the results.

Look, I know.

I can't believe I'm saying it, but

if we lose, the economic impact

Like, people will die.

If I made that suggestion

He'd fire you.

I'd lose my oldest friend.

What if it came from me?

What's happened?

f*cking spy.

Infiltrator.

Betrayal.

Nothing worse. Nothing f*cking worse.

Who is it?

Come here.

Deke?

I knew somebody was at it.

Took me a while.

I got proof.

Both knees.

No, don't do it. No!

Do it.

No, no.

No!

No!

No!

Do it!

No, no, no.

No

You were gonna sh**t me.

This little psycho

was gonna f*cking kneecap me.

Who's my little f*cking psycho now,

you wee beauty?

You passed the test, son.

You're on for tomorrow.

Right, give me that.

Right, yous pricks.

Let's have a f*cking drink!

Aye!

He's shite-ing himself.

I would have done it for the cause.

Hey.

So, my office sent information

on your guy.

Kelvin Cruickshanks.

Orphaned at four.

Seven failed attempts at fostering.

On the plus side, he has a pretty

impressive list of petty crimes.

Right, as a kid,

he took the blame for others.

He's passed every security clearance.

He's 29 years old.

No relationships.

His motives are adolescent.

I don't agree.

I want to make my mark.

I mean, come on. Loneliness

and the need to be recognised.

Well, he's vulnerable

to manipulation.

He's a grown man.

A grown man

that would do anything for you.

I think it gives you a kick.

So, do you ever think

before you speak?

But the agent handler thing.

That's more intense

than any love affair.

When a lover

says, "I'll die for you,"

they never mean it.

But in our world, it's real.

Are you gonna OK

this operation or not?

No, I'm not going to OK it.

I don't trust your agent.

I don't trust you.

But sometimes

you have to take a chance.

Not with people's lives.

Yes?

Latest MORI,

Gallup and Harris Interactive.

- Is there a consensus?

- We all think you're safe.

Yea, well, they only register

the opinion of the polite.

Zac says if we lose Scotland,

people will die.

Yeah, well, Zac will probably

tell you exactly how many.

It's avoidable.

It is, if we win.

We don't have to lose.

How?

Theoretically, the voting system

could be hacked.

How would you do that?

Digital voting.

There are people who can manipulate.

Really?

It would save lives.

"It would save lives."

Nicky, I hope that was a joke

because if it's not,

and I'd have to check with Etta, but.

I think what you just said

could put you in prison.

Have you stood your agent down?

Not yet.

Look on the positive side.

Now you can concentrate on Redback.

Do you know that the redback

is a type of spider?

You know what the female does

after sex?

Has a f*g and a d*uche.

- Uh, no, she

- Yeah, I know what she does.

Michael. Hi.

Yes.

Yes. Great. Thanks.

Your boss has overruled you.

- It's on.

- No, I don't believe you.

Call him.

CCTV is disabled inside

and outside The Skanda.

Now, you press this button.

Starts the timer.

That gives them one hour.

From Mr. Laird.

You're like a son to him,

you know that?

He was in the Black Watch?

Belonged to his old fella.

Independence

People think it's about politics.

It's about blood.

Good luck.

Holly! It's Eva!

Go away.

Open the door!

- Coming!

- Open the door!

You forgot, haven't you?

Forgotten what?

Pub grub, c*ck.

All free. No cash required.

Right. Yeah. 'Cause the honey monster

wants back in your knacks.

Don't be horrible. He's a nice guy.

I'm not in the mood.

Oh, come on.

You've not been out for time.

I don't like Danish food.

f*ck's sake, Holly.

Look at the state of you.

Get some fresh air in your lungs.

Doesn't it ever bother you?

What?

You don't fancy the guy.

You're using him for free drinks.

Holly, man, where's this coming from?

I don't like

taking advantage of folk.

Chill out. It cuts both ways.

Yeah? What's he get?

Hope. He can fantasise about,

you know?

What?

I don't know. A nice life.

What if that's all you've got,

it doesn't work out

and you're left with nothing?

I think

you need a drink.

I can stretch

to a half-bottle of Bucky

or we can jump on a bus

to a land of free c*ck.

I don't like Bucky.

Ah-ha! Yes!

Come on! Get your face on!

The stage coach leaves at noon.

- Come on. Move!

- Yeah, all right! I'm coming!

Yeah. Beatrice. Good morning.

Levi has some concerns

about the Scottish operation.

The timing's not good.

The timing?

My agent's

on his way there right now.

We can't afford another f*ck-up.

Not while we're contending

with Redback.

We've had our funding cut

for the third year in a row.

Look, we're facing multiple threats.

This costs nothing and we take out

one of those threats for good.

We're under scrutiny

from the Home Secretary.

I'm under scrutiny

from the Home Secretary.

All right. Pull the whole thing.

I'll reel Kelvin in.

Laird will know we're on to him,

and the next time he's on our radar

he'll be wearing a suicide vest.

Don't worry about Zac Clark.

No f*ck-ups.

Yeah.

Listen, Laird.

Yeah, I've got a problem.

No, I'm outside the pub.

But I had to walk the last half mile.

Something wrong with my car.

f*ck! Get the job done.

I'll get Deke to come for you.

All right.

I made a professional judgement!

Which I disagreed with. Deal with it.

Michael agreed with me

and then you got Daddy to intervene.

Do you ever wonder where you would be

if it wasn't for your father?

- Yes?

- f*cking supply teacher!

I'm about to go in.

- Laird bought it. We're all good.

- OK.

Call me when you're done.

Wait were we agreed.

All right. I'm on my way.

What is it?

I'm fine.

You're welcome.

No, I don't have a spare.

I know. I

I know.

I f*cked up.

- Katrine? Are you?

- What?

Can you just go to Scotland and meet

your guy and do your job, OK?

Cheers! Cheers!

Listen very carefully.

This is Amy Brescin.

We've planted a b*mb

in The Skanda pub.

Get in!

Kelvin, get f*cking in!

No!

Did you lose it?

I don't know.

You should go.

No, I'm gonna take you

to hospital first.

No. I'll be fine on my own. It's OK.

No! Wait!

The b*mb went off.

This is on you.

f*ck.

Kelvin, you set the timer?

Yes.

Could anybody have touched it?

No.

Could Deke?

I don't know.

Flat f*cking tire, eh?

You're the only one I trust now.

I'm ten years old.

My dad's in a locked ward.

There's blood on his pillow.

His face is half gone.

I made him a promise.

Scotland was gonna be free.

Never gonna happen now, is it?

Thanks.

Have you been inside?

They pulled us.

The building is unsafe.

The fire chief's assessing

when we can go back in.

Was it TNT?

Yes. It was.

Did you pick up anything else?

Sorry?

Did your spectrometer pick up

anything other than TNT?

TNT tends to get the job done.

He's not there?

He's not in hospital.

He hasn't contacted me.

There's no witnesses.

There's no CCTV, in or out.

It was disabled this morning.

The manager and the chef

are among the dead, apparently.

They were Danish.

You go to your meeting place

and, uh, I'll handle it here.

It's OK.

Just hold it together, all right?

It's OK.

Hey. Wait.

- Holly.

- What happened? We just got here.

I don't have any details.

What are you doing here?

My friend's ex works there.

I can't tell you anything.

What's your friend's name?

Niels

Niels Vilfort. He's the chef.

Well, I've got Holly's number,

so if I hear anything, I'll call you.

What if I need to call you?

I'll send you my number.

God.

Police have confirmed

that the b*mb blast at The Skanda pub

in the Scottish Borders

has left a number of people suffering

life-changing injuries

and multiple fatalities.

But so far the exact death toll

is yet to be confirmed.

The b*mb is thought to be the work

of the Scottish

nationalist t*rror1st organisation,

Amy Brescin.

A member of the group

called the police security number

claiming responsibility

just seconds before the blast.

This group

has been linked with attacks

Right, well, I'll put a fire on.

No!

You f*ck!

- Who are you f*cking working for?

- I don't know.

Who are you f*cking working for?

I trusted you!

I f*cking trusted you!

I f*cking trusted you!

Little brat!

Do it.

Do it, then!

Do it!

You all right?

It's OK, Kelvin. It's OK.

You all right?

Talk to me. It's all right.

Hey.

Hi.

Something's odd?

Yes. Odd.

I found it in the gents.

It's the detonator.

They used an AAL.

It's the rubber seal

that holds the shot tube in place.

So So what's odd?

Why is there two?

Look,

you have to talk to me, Kelvin.

OK? I need to know what happened.

No.

No. You can have that

when you tell me that went wrong.

I don't know what went wrong.

I did what I was supposed to do.

You couldn't have done!

Eleven people died!

Somebody sabotaged it.

Who could that have been?

Too many knew.

Who?

That Danish bint, huh?

Her department.

How many in your office knew?

You used me!

Don't blame the people I work with

for your screw-up!

I

I k*lled 'em. f*ck.

I k*lled all those people.

There was a girl in there.

And she smiled.

She smiled at me.

Come on.

It's not your fault, Kelvin.

I know. I didn't

I didn't mean to

I didn't I didn't mean

What are you doing?

Kelvin, get off of me.

Get off. What are you doing?

Please help.

What are you doing?

- Please help me.

- Get off me. Kelvin!

Help me.

Don't ever do that to me ever again!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Wait.

No!

No!

The guy I talked to thinks

they used two detonators.

Most of the evidence has been

formerly given to us to look at.

And what when we can see

from what we have in front of us

Who benefits from this?

The British government.

What can I do?

You decide.

Now, Kelvin, the ambulance

will be here in a minute.

This is on Laird.

All right? Nobody else.

You don't take the blame

anymore, Kelvin.

Do you hear me?

All right? You don't take the blame.

And as the standard death roll

rises to 11,

we ask what does that mean

for Scottish independence?

I think we know what it means

for Scottish independence.

Don't let anyone outside this room

hear you say that.

Our official line,

this is an absolute tragedy.

We don't want it

to affect the way people vote.

Right.

The funerals.

- I think we should consider

- Do not say the optics.

Should you attend the funerals?

That's all I'm asking.

Or is it not better

we organise a service?

Involve all the first responders.

I'm going to the funerals.

All of them.

- The ones in Denmark?

- All of them.

It'll be spun. Made to look

like it's about political capital.

So, we put a poll in the field.

Somebody we trust.

I don't need a bloody poll!

I'm going

because it's the right thing to do.

Well

I'm guessing you flirted an idea.

Oh, he loved it.

Said I could go to prison.

No?

Another day and there would've been

no need to mention it.

Well, you always find

the silver lining.

That's why you hired me.

Kelvin's been sent

to Chatham Military Hospital. OK?

I want an armed guard on the door

and I want

round-the-clock suicide watch.

And what am I supposed to tell

the Home Secretary?

Tell him he'll have the answers

when we have them.

And what about Laird? This whole

thing was about bringing him in.

Yeah. I don't know.

This is an unmitigated f*ck-up,

Beatrice!

This could bring us all down.

I'm gonna fix it, all right?

I said I'll fix it,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

f*ck!

Morning.

Good morning.

Are you all done in Scotland?

Yeah. Finished last night.

Yeah.

What I told you yesterday, I

I I made a mistake.

I was wrong

about there being two seals.

OK.

The

The force of the blast

made it split along the seam.

Better to know the truth.

Sure.

Have a good day.

Yeah, you too.

I get it. I get it.

What happened?

What do you mean what happened?

To your head?

Oh. Yeah.

It was nothing.

The baby's fine, by the way.

OK, yeah.

Right. Result.

Home Secretary's guaranteed

they'll be no enquiry.

The public have a madman

with a history of violence

and t*rror1st

still under lock and key.

Motive evidence. No CCTV.

From now on, we can sign this

to history and move on.

No more diversions.

Tattoo Redback on your eyeballs!

From now on, it's all you're

gonna see until we have cracked it,

k*lled it

and pissed merrily on its corpse.

Evil English b*stards.

Eleven dead

'cause you need our f*cking oil.

I know you need to believe that,

but the truth

is one of our agents made a mistake.

No.

Your agent was EOD.

That was sabotage.

And you are some other b*stard.

That was no mistake.

You don't like that, do you?

Can't be having me in court.

You wanna play the grownups' games,

you need to know the rules.

I know the rules.

I know who betrayed me.

Who betrayed you?

We've been

over Kutiev's online comms.

Maybe he was bluffing about Redback.

Then why did Adamov k*ll him?

The coroner forged the report

from the bombing.

Our intel

has Torben Jensen in London.

He's in contact

with the bias linked to Daesh.

You only care about yourself!

I sacrificed every principle I have

to protect you,

so don't f*cking go there!

I know about tweaking

the referendum results.

You got it all wrong.

It was a joke.

Laird isn't the man I saw

and you can't make me say he is!

I just had a message from Holly.

Someone she knows died in that b*mb.

Katrine said you know him.

When I say no diversions,

I mean no diversions.

Whoa, whoa! Redback? Who is it?

This is an indication

that Redback is an individual.

I have information

you're going to be interested in.

Who is Redback?

You know I can't allow that

to happen.
