This programme contains
some violent scenes.
Are you implying we may both
have some bad apples in our cart?
I got a full list of mobile phones
active in the same cell
around the time of his death.
And? One of them was
Sarah Caulfield's.
Sarah was no more than
five metres away when he fell.
When I called Sam to meet, he told
me he'd come by the office later.
She lied, plain and simple.
The question is, was she working for
the agency or had she gone freelance?
I really don't know.
Then I suggest we find out.
DISTANT VOICES
..not the time to go quiet. You
need to be listening to me. Come on!
I should be listening to you?
You should be listening to me.
Listen, listen. Baisley, we are
paying you a large amount of money
to blow DeWits bank wide open!
Have you been listening...?
Just tell us where
the information is!
Why are you getting angry?
She's getting angry.
I'm the one that should
be getting angry here.
Listen to me, Baisley, you
have been secretly recording
the names of depositors from one of
the world's nastiest offshore banks.
Now amongst some of those
tax-dodging celebrities there's
a healthy smattering of drug barons,
warlords and dictators. Now what do
you think they're going to want to
do to you, when they discover that
you have been recording their names?
I wasn't ready! You pulled me in
early, that was not the plan.
You said record information for
six months, it has been four months.
Give us the g*dd*mn
information that you have!
Excuse me, is she shouting at me?
Oh, she's really mean, isn't she?
Look, you have changed the terms
of the agreement! I think that
that calls for a re-negotiation.
What? You are getting in excess of
$200,000 for those account numbers.
Oh, please, do you think I am
stupid? Look at the security here.
Look at it! My life is over now!
You came into this with your
eyes open, we told you the risks.
I just think that a more
realistic figure would be five!
Million, I mean. Five million.
Look, I have the DeWits accounts.
I have the names. What I have is
clear evidence of ill*gal earnings
and tax evasion in the billions.
Admit it, the economy's
in the toilet.
We're all screwed without that
money so come on, what do I get?
I'm giving you the most corrupt
bank in history.
Where are you going?
Cash point. Five million was it?
I just think I should
get something more!
While you think about
what you should and shouldn't get,
you think about this.
We're shouting at you,
But some of the people whose names
you've got, they don't shout.
They scream.
So you think about screaming.
I'm not scared, you know!
You need me!
You know we're going to
have to pay him, don't you?
Yeah. You should give him to us.
Oh, what for? Nice little holiday
in Algeria? Spot of watersports?
Yeah, we don't do that any more.
No, got hybrid cars
and everything now.
Excuse me, I just need
to get a cigarette.
Oh, come on, I'll open a window.
PHONE RINGING
'You're through to Sophie and Ethan
Baisley, please leave a message.'
'Sophie!
Sophie, if you're there, pick up.
'Look, just get out of there now!
'I'm gonna hide. I can't come.'
The police or MI5, anyone,
but just get out of there now!
I'm sorry, darling,
I can't explain.
I have to hide.
Just take Ethan and go, just...
I love you, babe. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, darling.
Our informant, Baisley, escaped.
He's on the run.
God help us. I need Baisley.
Harry, you've got to find him.
Home Secretary, it seemed to spook
Baisley bringing the deal forward.
Is there something I should know?
Have you heard of
the Henshaw principle?
Economic activity moves in peaks and
troughs with the extremes lasting
no longer than a couple of days.
The Henshaw principle states that
even a rich economy can, in extreme
circumstances, excessive borrowing
for example, find itself in what
Henshaw calls an economic eclipse.
It only lasts for a couple of days,
but it is absolute, the equivalent
of temporary bankruptcy.
If there are no major outgoings
during the eclipse,
it passes and nobody notices.
It's only happened twice before,
once to Japan in '95 and in the US
last year, but they were lucky,
no outgoings, no-one noticed.
We entered the shadow of the eclipse
at 2pm yesterday and we will be
in it until 4.25am on Saturday.
National debt on interest
payments is due tomorrow at noon.
How much do we need?
The payment is 2.9 billion.
We think we can find 1.7, giving
us a shortfall of 1.2 billion.
Without Baisley's information
we can't pay our national debt.
What?! We spent 60 billion bailing
the banks out! Can't we borrow?
No, you don't understand, we are
in the shadow of the eclipse.
We cannot undertake any economic
activity outside of the norm.
We have to get through this
without the markets noticing or
there will be a run on sterling.
By Tuesday the pound will be
worth 35 cents and by the end
of next week, it's possible
we'll have hyper-inflation.
Expect to be talking
about unemployment in
the tens of millions.
So we need the bank's money?
We've looked at
every other possibility.
We can make seizures at DeWits from
ill*gal activity and tax evasion
totalling 1.5 billion pounds,
but we can't do that
without Baisley's information.
To all intents and purposes,
the UK is bankrupt
until 4.25 Saturday morning.
In two days it'll be business as
usual. But we don't have two days.
And you, how are you doing?
Me? Well, you know, enjoying being
the most unpopular man in the UK.
Good practice should you
ever want to run for PM.
Any news on the group that met
in Basel? We're still digging.
Home Secretary, perhaps
I should put some men on you.
Your contact was scared. Put
everything you have on Baisley.
That's the only thing
that can help us now.
Dead? All of them.
Harry, we just went to pick up
Baisley's partner, she's dead too.
And her child, Baisley's
stepson, both ex*cuted.
Good God. We're scanning
CCTV but these guys were good.
There was DNA found at the safe
house that doesn't belong to either
Baisley or the officers,
that's our best hope so far.
I want a DA notice issued to the
press, nothing must get out.
If Baisley finds out
that his partner and her child
have been k*lled,
he'll never give us those accounts.
I think they're sending him
a message - keep quiet
or it's your own kid next.
So local police have picked
up the ex-wife and child.
Did he give you any indication as
to where he'd hidden the DeWits
information? Or how he'd got it out?
He said it was well hidden in
an easy-to-read format, that's it.
"Easy-to-read format" -
what does that mean?
How did they know where we had him?
The CIA?
Sarah?
All right, so we step up
surveillance on Sarah.
Good, but the priority is finding
Baisley. Then I want the people who
did this and whoever is behind them.
Lucas, can I have a word?
The CIA is in turmoil.
Sarah is implicated.
We need to watch her because
information is leaking and
we know that she threw her boss
to his death over a balcony.
We cannot proceed on
feelings here, Lucas.
We have intelligence to suggest
that Walker was passing
information to the Chinese.
Rumours, not intelligence.
Even so, a seven-storey
fast track to a concrete floor
is not normal CIA procedure.
Lucas, are you OK with this? Yeah.
Yeah, Harry, I just...
Yes, I can handle it.
Find out what she knows,
but be careful.
Is that the recording from
the answering machine? Yeah.
We've been through it though, Ros.
There's nothing.
You know me.
I like to hear the voice.
I'm going to collect Baisley's ex.
You've lost him? Are you serious?
Well, this is insane! I said
that you should give him to us.
A British citizen on British soil?
Yeah, but you've absolutely no idea
which patch of British soil he is
currently on. This is bad, Lucas.
These guys are not going to stop.
Guys?
What guys?
Sarah?
OK, look we found out yesterday
that there's a $30-million bounty
on Baisley's head. 30 million?
Don't suppose you're going to
tell me how you know all this?
What's in it for me?
The undying gratitude
of the British people.
But I think I want more.
BAISLEY: 'Sophie?
Sophie, if you're there, pick up!
'Look, just get out of there, now!
'I'm gonna hide, I can't come.
'The police or MI5, just anyone,
but just get out of there now!
'I'm sorry, darling. I can't
explain.
'I'm gonna have to hide.
Just take Ethan and go.
'I love you, babe, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, darling.'
I'm here for the Baisleys.
It says MI5.
How many of you does it take? Pam's
already taken your lad down there.
I want my daughter! I want Leah!
She's fine, Tina. We have her safe.
That's what they said in the
police station, I want my girl!
Listen to me.
You have to talk to me first, OK?
Nothing's going to happen to her.
I won't let anyone near her, OK?
Do you have any idea where
your ex-husband might be?
Is this, is this because... Has he
robbed the bank? He has, hasn't he?
I knew he'd do something stupid!
I'm not interested,
I don't care about money.
Tina, what makes you say
that he's robbed the bank?
He called, last week, said he was
going to be rich. Tens of millions.
I thought it was just talk,
he likes to talk.
But I knew, somehow deep down,
I knew.
Tina, he said he was getting
tens of millions from the bank?
He said he deserved it.
Oh, he's not a bad person.
He loves Leah.
He loves Sophie's little boy, Ethan.
Ready-made family, that's just him.
But he loves them. He does.
It's just these days he thinks
loving someone is giving them cash.
What do we know about the hitman?
Semyon Martova.
Russian mercenary, ex KGB.
Fibres found at the safe house
are a match, so the man Ros shot
is definitely one of the men
who tried to get Baisley.
One team did both hits.
Also we have a match on the DNA
found outside the safe house.
Shimon Tarkay. Mossad?
What are the Israelis doing in this?
No idea. I want to reiterate the
importance of finding this man.
If we don't get
Baisley's information by tomorrow,
next week the UK
will be a third-world country.
So Baisley tried to bribe DeWits?
That's my guess. He told
his ex-wife that he was coming into
tens of millions of pounds.
I think he'd already decided
he wanted a lot more than the
measly 200 grand we were offering,
and he was already
in the process of bribing the bank
when we happened to bring him in.
That's why he wasn't
cooperating, I think he wants
big money for what he has.
Maybe the FSB and Mossad
have got money in there
they want to keep quiet about.
So when Baisley tries to
bribe DeWits,
the chief exec gets frightened
and calls in his two
scariest customers for help.
Baisley is accessing his email.
Baisley's somewhere in EC2.
We have a team on their way.
Can we contact him? I'm trying.
It's a complex firewall.
He's gone. Damn!
Tariq, that phone technique
you've been playing with,
did you say it works even
when the phone's switched off?
Yes. So you can remotely
turn the phone on?
If we know where he is, yes.
If we turn his phone on,
won't that give his position away?
It will, but if we act fast enough,
we can get him to dump and run.
How big is that cell?
OK, get him on the phone.
Don't let him leave that cell. Ruth,
get on to that email he's sending.
DIAL TONE
PHONE RINGING
PHONE RINGING
It's coming in through a micro cell.
Number 8105.
That's Liverpool Street Station.
Lucas? Yeah, I'm on it.
PHONE STILL RINGING
Come on. How much time do we have?
Depends on their technology.
Hello?
'You good at remembering numbers?'
Yeah, but who is this?
'Good. Remember this one,
then throw your phone away.
'07700 900 978. It's a secure number.
'Do you have it memorised?' Yeah.
Don't say yes, repeat it back to me.
it then throw the phone away.'
Call us back, as soon as you can.
Walk away now and do
not run, just walk.
But? 'Now!'
Now what?
We just have to hope
he has a good memory.
PHONE RINGS
You have to come in.
They k*lled your men at the
safe house. They k*lled them!
Listen to me, Ryan,
you have to come in.
What, what are you talking about? I
did come in, they nearly k*lled me!
Where are the DeWits accounts?
You promised us that information.
You have to tell us where the
accounts are then we can protect
you, Ryan. You have to come in.
Listen. What about my daughter?
Is Leah OK?
She's fine.
And Sophie and Ethan?
We have them. They're safe.
I've got a lock on him!
I'm sending this through, Lucas.
I'm sorry I was awkward, annoying.
I'm, I am annoying.
Sophie says that I am. Sorry.
Ryan, do you have that information?
You have to tell us where it is.
What's your name?
Ros. Ros Myers.
My family are safe, Ros, yeah?
You swear?
Yes.
I swear.
Thank you.
We're there!
No sign of him. We've lost him.
Area's clear. Surveillance team,
stand down. All units, stand down.
What now? We just wait?
No. If we can't get Baisley,
we find out who's after him.
Someone's funding that hit squad
and I think it's time we paid a
visit to our friendly bank manager.
Ros?
Why did you give him your name?
Judgement call. I needed a bond.
I thought he'd sense a lie.
How did it go with the psychologist?
After Jo's death?
Did she talk about displacement?
Ros, saving Baisley
won't bring Jo back. No.
It'll be nice for Baisley, though.
Thanks for seeing us, Mr Perrot. We
appreciate you're a very busy man.
DeWits is more than happy to help.
We always comply with the laws of
the states within which we operate.
Unless they're tax laws, of course.
If any of our clients has
a lax approach to tax law,
that's disappointing.
But any crime committed is
their responsibility, not ours.
I believe S*ddam Hussein
was a client of yours?
Regular saver, was he? Prudent?
You know very well it's ill*gal for
me to discuss who is or who isn't a
client, but I can tell you that
as well as world leaders, we have
celebrities, industrialists,
bankers, politicians.
We have Ryan Baisley,
your missing assistant.
Well, I hope you've got him
under lock and key, because he's
breaking banking secrecy laws
in Switzerland, Liechtenstein,
Jersey and about 15 other
jurisdictions.
How do you know he's breaking
banking secrecy laws? I'm sorry?
I said we had him. I didn't say
he was telling us anything.
Yes, well I assume
that's why he's...
I mean, why would he come to you?
Does he have something to tell?
This morning somebody tried to k*ll
Baisley. That's attempted m*rder.
You are required by the laws of all
the jurisdictions you work within
to cooperate with law enforcement
in cases of criminal activity.
If you believe that one of our
clients is implicated, I'm afraid
I'm going to have to ask you which
one and to produce a court order.
Doesn't surprise you that
somebody's trying to m*rder
one of your employees?
Oh, yes, yes, it does.
I think we're done here.
The national-debt interest payment
is due in 17 hours, Harry.
If we can't meet that,
the very least we can expect
is a ten-year depression.
In the short term, the government
goes bankrupt, we won't be able to
borrow and no public-sector worker,
no teacher, no doctor, no policeman,
soldier or MI5 operative will be
paid for six months. It's bad.
I'd like to make an attempt
on the DeWits network.
I thought it was impossible
to break into?
It is. But our new boy wonder
has come up with a plan.
If we get in, we can cross reference
account numbers
with corresponding transactions
in regular banks.
That may give us enough to make
seizures at DeWits. Then we'll no
longer need Baisley's information.
Of course. Give it a go.
PHONE BEEPS
Yes?
'Turn on the news.'
'Questions are growing today about
the Home Secretary's dealings
with foreign businessmen.'
Having repeatedly said he was alone
with the Albanian businessman
Pal Mirot,
photographs are to be published
that explicitly show Nicholas Blake
with three businessmen alleged to
have links with organised crime.
What?
These photographs have been sent
to every major newspaper in London,
they've been verified as genuine,
and will be published tomorrow.
Speculation here in Westminster...
Harry, I didn't. That is not me.
Harry, that is not me!
I want to know if these are fake.
And if they're real?
He doesn't deal with the mafia.
Anything on the Baisley email?
No, nothing.
It's just a huge rambling apology
to all his friends and colleagues.
There is one odd thing, though,
he gets the date of his
daughter's birthday wrong.
Doesn't seem like the kind of
thing he'd get wrong.
Harry! We've been putting the CCTV
footage through the face-recognition
software and it came up with this.
Baisley? Where is this?
Kensington. Three hours ago.
Find out who he was calling.
Meanwhile, it's time we paid a visit
to DeWits ourselves.
Tariq, cometh the hour,
cometh the geek.
Tariq, if you would.
DeWits use a quantum encryption
to encode all transactions.
Uses quantum mechanics
to encode information.
But based on the Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle that you
cannot measure sub-atomic
information without disturbing it.
What's he saying?
You can't watch them without them
knowing and turning the system off.
Once it's up and running
it's completely impossible
to hack into without breaking the
fundamental laws of the universe.
You love all this, don't you?
The entire network in their
London office is secure.
No disk drives, no USBs, nothing.
Just one access point at the
chief exec's terminal, that's it.
I've created a dummy which will
sit in their network invisibly,
transmitting information back to us.
All we have to do is have someone
out there at Perrot's terminal while
I try and hack into the system.
The hack will fail, but the system
will go down to protect itself.
The bank security protocols dictate
that the chief exec and the head of
security must then
meet face-to-face.
So we install this in Perrot's
machine when he pops out to see
his head of security, buying you
maybe a minute, minute and a half.
Is that all? Can't we just break the
fundamental laws of the universe?
Well, no. They're fundamental laws.
So I go in to DeWits posing
as this customer, Astanovic?
Russian oligarch, banks at
DeWits, but he's never been in
there so Perrot doesn't
know what he looks like.
You just have to do convince Perrot
you're the kind of man who has 48
million. You were made for the part.
Mr Astanovic, there is absolutely
no reason for you to be concerned.
Really? I thought there was.
I thought someone in your
organisation talks to MI5.
What? No, no, no, I can't
imagine where you heard such
a thing, let me assure you.
With $48 million in your hands and
one of your staff talking to MI5,
your assurances
are the faeces of dogs.
If that was happening, and it isn't,
it really isn't, let me put
your mind at rest
that it is something we would
take steps to insure against.
What steps?
Well, I can't say exactly.
But DeWits has ways of
protecting its assets.
Really? Well, I think you should
tell me about your insurance.
Or I will take all of my $48 million
out of your bank.
Lucas, he's not going to bite, let's
do this. I'm uploading the hack now.
I can't. I really can't.
Something wrong?
Um, small problem with the system.
I won't be a moment.
Time to light him up, Lucas.
I don't like to wait.
And...
It's working, I've got him.
Right, you've got four minutes
before the isotopes decay and then
I'll have no idea where he is.
Tariq, it's a completely
different processor.
How many pins does it have?
Lucas, it should click into place but
you're going to have to realign
the output and input modes.
Lucas, he's heading back.
Ten seconds.
Disconnect the blue wire, reroute it
onto the bug and click it into place
How? There's no connection.
Eight seconds. Just twist it
round a pin. It might work.
Five. Lucas, get out now.
Where were we?
SPEAKS RUSSIAN
What are we getting?
We're getting tonnes. But the data
is corrupted because of the bodge
job Lucas had to do with the chip.
So I'm getting account
numbers through but most of
them are missing digits.
So we still need Baisley?
Yeah, there's something
else here, though.
There's a huge account, I mean huge.
Six billion dollars. And?
Well, there's a massive amount
of activity on this account from
Switzerland, money in, money out.
From Basel.
All centred around the same five-day
period when our boys met.
I don't know who the account
holder is, but a massive tranche
of money came in from China.
I've been through the records
for the pay-phone Baisley was at.
Guess who he was calling?
DeWits. Perrot's office.
We zoomed in on the CCTV to
see if we could see what he said,
but he actually said nothing.
He just pressed those
six numbers on the keypad.
Ruth, that email Baisley sent.
Did he send it to Perrot?
Yeah, well, I mean he sent it
to everyone in his address book.
And he got his own daughter's
birthday wrong? Yeah. Can I see it?
It's an account number.
The number that he pressed into
the key pad was a sort code.
See if this matches an account.
Yes. There's an account here,
a regular high street bank.
Opened two days ago in the name
of Leah Baisley. His daughter.
Christ. He's bargaining.
He's blackmailing Perrot. This is him
sending Perrot his account details
for him to transfer the money into.
It's suicide,
Perrot's men will k*ll him.
Does the account have an address?
You start talking.
Look, I just want
a bit of what they have.
You see what they have,
these people. They have so much.
Their children have got personal
assistants. Personal assistants!
I've dealt with tax returns for
people who spend more on their dogs
than I will ever earn in a year.
They're truly rich. For them,
this is, this is just, it's just a
transaction, OK. That's all it is.
Baisley, when are you going to learn
that they just want to shut you up!
I'm going to do a deal. No, they
won't deal, they won't let you walk!
Listen, I need to do a deal.
How the hell am I going
to protect my family?
Now what have my kids got
to look forward to now, eh?
I will see what can be done.
Oh, what? A couple of
thousand pounds, ten grand?
I don't need toy money,
I need real money! I need it!
TYRES SCREECH
Go!
SHE SCREAMS
I've been running a check on our
hitman and I came up with this.
It's Martova, going through security
at Moscow airport this morning.
Surely he was here?
That's what I thought.
So I did some digging. He checked
into The Stesovich Hotel in Moscow.
Two hours ago. CCTV confirms
it's him. Two hours ago?
That's very clever for someone
shot dead by Ros this morning.
Yeah. So that got me thinking
and I had a look at our other
guy, Tarkay, the Mossad agent?
The DNA is a perfect match.
But Shimon Tarkay broke three
vertebrae skiing in Lebanon
last month. He can hardly walk.
Chicken-cooping.
I'm sorry?
Take their DNA, find someone with
a similar build, hair colour, alter
records and wherever our men bleed,
Semyon and Shimon will be blamed.
Favourite technique of the CIA when
slipping someone into deep cover.
You've been lying to me.
Martin Lewis, ex CIA. Went off
the radar about eight years ago.
Now part of a team with this man.
Richard Preslewski,
former Marine, now dead.
Lewis has been running around
London trying to k*ll Ryan Baisley.
Start talking, because this
has got CIA written all over it.
OK, don't start judging, Lucas,
you do that judging thing,
and it really...
I don't judge. I'm not lying.
He was CIA, him and his boys.
We had this sort of conflict
resolution programme about five
years ago. Conflict resolution?
Well, that was the thinking, that
was the old us, we don't do that...
There are certain types who,
due to the stresses of the job,
tend to develop difficult traits.
Difficult in what sense?
Well, they go off the rails, honey,
into criminality. And we thought,
you know, having invested literally
hundreds of thousands in them
already, why not train them
a little more and have them...?
Indulging in criminality
on your behalf?
Yeah. But you don't have
to make it sound so sordid.
Lewis was part of a pilot group.
It didn't go very well.
And you trained him?
We trained him, yeah.
And for the past five years we
have no single clue where he is
or what he's been doing except for
turning people into bodies for money.
That's all I know, Lucas, I swear.
Harry.
Harry, something else has come up.
There's a record of a conversation.
An MI6 asset in Islamabad referring
to something called Nightingale.
Connected to a group
that met in Basel.
Nightingale? Any idea what that is?
No. I've run it through everything.
Nothing. But the asset did get
as far as saying that there was
some kind of CIA involvement.
Then the line went dead,
conversation terminated.
CIA involvement? Do you think it
could be Sarah? I have no idea.
OK, dig a little deeper, Ruth.
Without alerting 6.
Best not to wake them.
Um, actually there's,
there's something else.
It's Ros. She hasn't checked in,
we don't know where she is.
I think she hasn't accepted
Jo's death.
I think this thing with
Baisley's brought it back.
Oh?
You've arranged an exchange
with Baisley. Where is he?
You're trying to k*ll him.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I lost someone recently, a colleague,
I had to make a choice to let her die
and if I'm honest, I think
it's affected my judgement.
My boss thinks I've got this
psychological displacement thing
going on.
He thinks, I think that if I save
Baisley, somehow I'll be saving her.
He thinks that I equate
Baisley with her.
Which is odd, because
they're nothing alike.
I think I see her as an innocent,
caught up in events that she really
shouldn't have been caught up in.
Which is odd, because it makes
you wonder how I see myself.
Baisley, of course,
is not at all innocent.
But maybe he is compared to you.
To us.
So strange how the mind works,
isn't it?
This doesn't scare me, you know.
We're in England, not in China.
You tell me where he is,
or I WILL k*ll you.
Baisley's headed for Euston station.
Perrot set him up.
Martin Lewis is waiting for him.
Stairwell F, north side. Send CO19.
Wait for the team. Yep.
I mean that, Ros!
I know, Harry.
Baisley!
Baisley! DOWN!
g*nf*re
I've got you. I've got you.
Harry, the press, there are stories,
stories are breaking. Ruth. Stories
are breaking... Ruth. Stories...
Take a deep breath and tell me.
About the m*rder of Baisley's
partner and her child.
It's all over the news.
'The bodies of a woman and young boy
found in their house in South London
'have been identified as
the common-law family of
missing banker Ryan Baisley.
'Police say it was an
execution-type k*lling
and are appealing for witnesses.
'As yet, there are no leads
and neighbours are said to be in
a state of total shock
'over the deaths of two popular
and happy members of the community.
'The five-year-old boy
and middle-aged woman...'
A consolation?
No. It's just cigarettes.
We need your information, Ryan.
We need it desperately.
You..
You said she was fine.
You said they were fine.
You lied.
Yes, I lied.
I lie a lot. I have to.
But I'm not lying now.
We need those accounts, Ryan.
We've got two hours until
the country's bankrupt.
They won't let me see the bodies.
Ryan, they won't let you see the
bodies because the chances are,
the people that k*lled them
will be there waiting for you.
Your whole life's
going to be different for you
and your family now.
We're going to have to
take you away from here,
to a different country.
You're going to have to hide
for the rest of your life.
Money is no good to you now.
I did this to them.
I did...
I did it to them.
Where is it, Ryan?
Please.
Where are the account numbers?
Um, I, I found something.
I didn't know what to do with it.
It's an account in DeWits. And?
It belongs to the Home Secretary.
Is that four...? Four million, yes.
Now, he has no income
that could account for this.
I am 100% sure.
We keep this to ourselves.
Harry... There's no way
this could be his money.
Harry, we should tell someone
about this.
Oh, I know we should tell someone.
There's something else.
Ruth and Tariq have done some more
digging inside CIA computers.
Last thing Walker searched for -
airline tickets for CIA officers.
Sarah was at the meeting in Basel.
Are you sure?
She was there. Walker was on his way
to finding that out. He's dead.
There's more, Lucas.
The account that we found
in DeWits. The $6 billion.
It's a CIA account.
I need to talk to her.
As a member of MI5, or as her lover?
Harry, I need to do this.
Whatever Nightingale is,
whatever went on in Basel,
these people bank with DeWits.
Perrot is responsible for the
assassination attempts on Baisley,
and if Sarah IS a member of
Nightingale, she's been passing
on information. Now, Walker died
because he knew a lot less than
that. Walker was working alone.
I'll have you listening in.
Let me talk to her.
Yes, Lucas, you should talk to her.
How do I play it? Misinformation.
Give her something false,
then let her off the hook.
Tell her we know about Basel,
we know she k*lled Walker, we know
the account is a CIA account.
Do not tell her
we know she was there.
Let's see if she wants to be
honest with you.
DOOR IS UNLOCKED
Why did you k*ll your boss?
'We know you threw him from
the seventh floor balcony.
'We have knowledge of
a group of intelligence experts
meeting in Basel connected to'
an operation called Nightingale.
We also know that that same group
have access to funds in
a CIA account
in excess of $6 billion.
'Have you been spying on me, honey?
'What do you know about Basel? No,
I'm not telling you what I know,
you're telling me what you know.
'For example, why you threw
your boss off a balcony.'
The CIA is in pieces, there are
people within who are violently
opposed to the new regime,
ideologues who are terrified
that we are, in fact,
about to lose the Cold w*r.
The Nightingale account
WAS a CIA account, run by Walker.
Ruth, find out if that's true.
'How do you know so much about
Basel?'
Is Harry listening to this, Lucas?
No, Lucas, no.
Tariq, get on to this.
Do something.
I really need you
to answer my question.
Please.
I know about Basel because...
Because...
Because I was there.
Account 886625 is one of several
that the CIA have in tax havens.
Obviously we don't like it
to get out,
but we use them to pay bad people.
You know, criminals, t*rrorists. Bad
people. Six billion dollars?
No, no, no. Those accounts are
supposed to have
no more than a
few tens of thousands in them.
The DeWits account was controlled
by Walker.
The money currently
in there belongs to Nightingale.
They approached Walker,
he went along with them,
joined them
and used the CIA account.
Harry, I've just checked that
account.
It's never been run by Walker.
It's Sarah.
Sarah is the signatory on the
Nightingale account. Get a team
over there now!
Is that why you k*lled him?
Walker was corrupt, a traitor, but to
be honest with you, what I am doing
is so far undercover, that I would
have k*lled him if he was snow-white.
Nobody can know what I'm doing.
And me? What do you think, honey?
What is it that they're doing
that needs six billion dollars?
I don't yet know. What I do know is
that Nightingale have operatives in
intelligence services all over the
world, in governments, in cabinets.
I know about your Home Secretary.
I know about his four million,
that it's not his
and that he's being set up.
Lewis. What?
What's he doing here?
Oh, Jesus. He's after me.
My cover must be blown. Stay here.
What are you doing?
Stay here, please.
Do not take a risk. You take him out
through the door and you sh**t him!
He's more useful to us alive.
No, he will k*ll you.
You sh**t him first. Lucas! Lucas!
Drop it. Slowly.
Turn around.
Drop it, Lucas.
No, not you, please God, not you.
Now!
Kneel. Sarah...
NOW, Lucas!
Why didn't you just do
what I said? Why didn't you just...?
You're with them. Nightingale.
Why didn't you just sh**t? Listen.
It doesn't have to be like this.
Yes, it does! You know it does.
Was it you feeding
information to Lewis?
Perrot hired him. But you led
him to Baisley,
to protect
your friends and their money.
I can't let you walk out of here.
They'll k*ll me, Lucas.
It's you or me. Who are they? They?
You have no idea how big they are.
They are taking over.
Sarah? This isn't fair, is it?
You deserve more than this.
You really do.
No. This isn't fair.
Goodbye, Lucas. Take me with you.
g*n IS c*ck
g*nsh*t
HE GASPS
TV: What concerns me is...
Does the Prime Minister wish
you to resign, Home Secretary?
..which is making sure that
the United Kingdom is adequately...
Do you think you should resign?
..is adequately policed,
that our borders, our...
Could you answer the question?
Look, I have the full
backing of my colleagues.
Home Secretary, four million
pounds is an awful lot of money...
Well? We've recovered close to a
billion and counting. We'll make it.
We'll make the payments.
The economy is safe.
Home Secretary...
I am no longer the Home Secretary.
What, you're just going to leave?
Just going to let them win?
I'm finished.
No, this four million's a set-up.
Give us time and we'll prove it.
When the British people wake up
on Monday, they will have an
economy to wake up to. We did well.
You call this doing well?
Someone said to me once, "Politics
is victory chased by defeat.
"So make sure you develop
a taste for two things,
"blood and strong liquor."
Drink, Harry.
Time for the circus.
Be careful, Harry.
As the Home Secretary resigns amidst
allegations of corruption and sleaze,
we ask are the security services
part of the cover-up?
The Prime Minister has issued a
statement saying there will be a
full and frank inquiry, saying
there is "no place for shady
deals and cosy back-room chats",
announcing a new era of
transparency and honesty.
Also today it appears that tens of
millions of pounds in lost revenue
and ill*gal earnings have been
recovered from a dodgy tax haven.
But with politicians stashing
their cash
in that very same bank
that now stands
in the dock, we ask can the people
who run this country
ever be trusted again?
And are we now seeing the last days
of a government that no longer
has the faith of the people?
In a statement read to the
press, the chief executive
officer insists that all...
Are you OK? I'm angry.
More with myself than anything else.
I should've known it couldn't last,
a decent politician. Someone wanted
him out and I need to know who.
Harry, do you want to get a drink?
Yes. I think I do, Ruth. Harry,
I think you should see this.
It's the Nightingale account.
They've transferred all the money.
What? When?
Minutes before we went in there.
How? That's not possible. How?
They must've been warned.
Transferred where?
Pakistan. All of the Nightingale
money has gone to Pakistan.
A Pakistani intelligence officer
was stabbed this morning.
So who k*lled your officer?
The far right in India is growing.
Enough is enough! They are not the
only ones who are prepared to give
up everything for what they believe.
I need to know who that is,
you need to find out for me.
He is going to k*ll me.
You're the only person that
can stop this from happening.
An event like this could precipitate
the kind of unrest
unseen on these shores
since the English Civil w*r.
