09x04 - Chinese Prize

[bunniefuu]

What's it been like
being Lucas North?

Get away from me. You're alive.

You're suddenly stirred once
again to the defence of the realm.

I want to get clean. And I encourage
your reapplication, Miss Bailey.

Have you told Harry Pearce
what we did? I need a file.

It's in Five's archive.
It's called Albany.

It's been 15 years, John.
Don't talk to me like you know me.

I'll accept the position
of section chief.

I want complete clearance on all
my operations. Grade A access.

Why did you decide to turn up now?
I had to see you.

THEY SPEAK IN CHINESE:

Oh, it's early.

I thought you might need
to be getting back.

He's at a conference today.

PHONE RINGS

Work needs me.

I don't even know what you do, John.

Private security consultant.

Makes sense.

Obscure, mysterious.

It's not as exciting as you think.

Anyway, Dr Lahan,
the last time I saw you, you were
thinking about opening a tapas bar.

Forgotten about that.

It was a long time ago.

Hey.

What are we doing, John?

We're doing what we were
always supposed to do.

The cress is sprouting
late this year, Junren.

Very funny.

Listen, we had the best turnout
ever at Tuesday's meeting.

Ten 'Free Tibeters',
a dozen human rights bods.

Hardly going to topple
the party, is it?

Thanks for coming,
I know this isn't easy for you.

I can't stay long.
I need to get back to the embassy.

Kai, please would you think about
actually coming to a meeting?

Our group campaigns
for democracy in China,

but it's been years since a member
set foot in the country.

If we could get an actual
Party official... No.

We're gaining momentum,

and you could inspire us to the next
level. You know my position.

I'm with you.

Just not...

With us? Yeah.

Remember something, Clare.

You're asking me to risk everything,

when you risk nothing at all.

First in for the meeting.
Someone's trying to impress.

I owe them a bit of impressing.
Teacher's pet.

How's your asset? He's politically
on-side, but still loyal. Just not
quite ready for the next step.

We've had a code red
Border Agency report.

The UKBA Database has
flagged up three high-level

CSS operatives entering the country
yesterday on fake British passports.

These three are a Chinese
State Security undercover cell.

They're an aggressive unit that
specialise in assassinations and
high-level industrial espionage.

There's no precedent for this,
so we have to assume it's important.

Their cover identities are due
to leave the country in three days.

So whatever they want,
they want it fast.
That's why we need good intel now.

Sorry, my asset's a slow burner,
needs more time.

That's not good enough. Beth?
Kai is very promising.

Ideologically, he's committed.

Personally, his brother protested
at Tiananmen and disappeared.

Chinese assets are
notoriously hard to turn.

If there's the slightest chance that
we can flip a CSS officer inside the
embassy, then we have to take it.

If he needs to be pushed,
then you push him. But gently.

I think I can do it. Think?

Or know?

I can turn him.

It may just be my epic hangover,
but I fail to see the urgency.

Home Secretary, there are a million
Chinese spies in the world.

We've spent years trying
to turn just one.

Even so,

I advise caution. Our relationship
with China remains...delicate.

Chinese State Security seem to have
no problems sending three high-level
field operatives to London.

We don't even know what
they're here for yet, Harry.

No need to be so
sabre-rattly about it.

So we should roll over
for the bigger dog?

If you roll over, you
sometimes get your tummy tickled.

I don't think they put the hazelnut
syrup in.

Home Secretary.

Bang! Bang!

IN CHINESE:

Bang! Bang!

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Pow!

Mr Beecher. Sir Harry.

I love that.
Please, Harry. Harry is fine.

I see you're plunging into
the indigenous cuisine.
It's the vinegar.

Who knew? I wanted to talk
to you about the Chinese.

Any CIA dealings with CSS
in London currently?

CSS, huh?

No.

I'll ask my people.

Anything I should know about?

We're not entirely sure what
it is we don't know as yet.

One of your unknown unknowns,
I suppose.

I bet it's industrial espionage.

And I'm not talking toasters.
Chinese are raising their game.

Any thoughts on potential treasure?
I'll look into it.

I'd advise you tread on
Chinese toes softly right now.

Trade, Taiwan, human rights...
they're antsy.

You wouldn't want to upset them.

Not as much as we have, anyway.

Oh, we don't like to upset anybody.

HE CHUCKLES

'Alpha Two, turning this asset
could be our only chance of
finding out what the CSS want.'

Understand Kai as a person,
but see him as an asset.

He's just an asset, nothing more.

Play whatever emotional cards
you've got.

You look, eh...

awful.

Listen, I'm really sorry
about last night.

Hey, don't apologise.

You know I want change in China,
more than anything.

But betraying my country...

You wouldn't be betraying China.
Just the people in power.

Let's walk.

OK.

I've got something to tell you.

I need you to stay calm.

My name isn't Claire.

Give her a chance.

Oh, no. I'm dead.

No, no, you're alive and you're
brave and you can help your country.

You don't understand.
If I'm seen with a British spy...

You haven't been.
We've been careful.

Never contact me again. Never.

If you want true freedom then
you're going to have to take risks.

You know as well as I do that China
is only headed in one direction -
more oppression and more control.

Spare me the rationalisation.
You are not interested in that.

You lied to me. Pretended to care.

Pretended to share my beliefs.

He's walking... sh*t! Alpha Two.

I'm not going to lie to you.

I know that you want to help,
and if you do, I promise you,

everything I tell you from
now on will be the truth.

Have some professional courtesy.
If you're going to play me,
you need a better strategy.

This isn't a strategy!

You're the first agent
I've tried to turn.
I have no idea how to do this!

If you're so inexperienced,
then why are you my recruiter?

Because you're not that important.

Look, I'm sorry. I told you,
I'm not going to lie to you.

Goodbye, Clare.

Exit stage right.

He's gone. OK, come home, Alphas.

We need something on what
that Chinese team is here for.

We've no idea what they're planning.

There is something else we could do.

Get hold of the CSS data archive.

Ready?

OK, Tariq,
ready for the trembler switches.

I'm going to cause a localised
power surge to knock out perimeter
security systems for a moment.

It'll be a blip inside the
building, they won't notice.

A moment?
When I say go, you'll have


Ready.

Go!

Stop! OK...

Breathe in.

What have they got? They've
found the most recent archive.
Kept offline on 3D optical discs.

Makes it completely
unhackable remotely. Good.

PHONE RINGS
You have no idea how pleased
I am to hear from you...

You have people in the embassy.

I can't tell you anything.
They're about to be caught.
An alarm has been tripped.

Alpha One...
I've just received intel from Kai.

The Chinese are on to you.
He came through!

Copy that. We're leaving.

Wait. Alpha Two, do you believe him?

Yes. Either way, they're onto you.
Get out now!

If you're caught, there's nothing
we can do to protect you.

I've got guards down here.

You need to find a new exit.

GUARDS SHOUT IN CHINESE

Any ideas?

Alpha Two, we have to use Kai.

Your call, Alpha Two.

Can you get our people
out of the building?

We'll protect you.

Are you with us?

'Put me through to them.'

I'm patching through Kai.

We're in the northwest corner
meeting room, third floor.

OK, there's an interconnecting door
opposite the window.

Then turn right.

At the end of the room,
there's a concealed door
leading to a staircase.

Top of the stairs, turn left.

Above you. That's the only
un-alarmed access to the roof.

OK, I'm hanging up.

Hang on, wait. We can't both go
this way, they'll know
we had inside help.

It's your only escape option.
Use it.

Harry, if Kai's a solid asset,
he's too valuable to lose.

It won't take the Chinese long
to work out who helped us.
I'll find another way out.

Ruth, alert the police posted
outside the embassy anonymously.

You saw someone breaking in.
Going off comms. Go.

Police, please...

Don't sh**t! Don't sh**t!
Who are you?! Listen, mate,
I didn't realise this place was...

whatever it is.

IN CHINESE:

Chinese buy the burglar act?
Probably not.

I've spent enough of my life
in cells, so tell me last
night wasn't for nothing.

Found something.
Took a while to translate.
You speak Chinese? Mandarin and Wu.

My Cantonese is...horrible.

But once I'd finished, one keyword
kept cropping up - "Amphitrite".

Poseidon's wife.

Goddess of the Seas.

Amphitrite is the codename
for a new desalination technology.

It's super-efficient
and ultra-low cost.

Water filtration tech? Would
the Chinese really send in a top
assassination team just for that?

This is the global drought map.

Kenya hasn't had a wet season
for four years.

It isn't just a third world problem.

Australia is dry, California...

This is what it could
look like in 30 years.

So whoever can make seawater
drinkable gets very rich.

We traced a connection
to QMK Technologies.

They're a biotech company.

They're world leaders in
desalination technology and they're
based in South West London.

This is about more than money.
It's about the power to control
a basic human need.

Empires have been built on less.

I'll brief the Home Sec
and talk to this QMK.

Beth, you seem quiet.
What's on your mind, Kai? Yeah.

Running an asset's all
about psychology and emotion.

You understand that. I know.

I'm just surprised he turned so
quickly. So now you feel contempt
for his disloyalty?

Use it.

You trust your instincts.
They've got you this far.

The Chinese wouldn't dare launch
an operation like this against
a British company. Why not?

They have to live up to being
the world's premier economy,
and all we do is moan about

censorship and nag them
to stop building power stations.

No wonder they're ready
to steal from us.

This little island's intellectual
property may be the last meaningful
global currency we have left.

We have to hang on to it.

Whatever it takes.

Whatever happens, whatever
you hear, just stand off.

Let me do this my way.

So you decided to help?
I almost didn't.

How did it feel?

Purposeful.

I want to do more.

As soon as I took that first step,
it felt right.

I'm not sure if I believe you.
'Steady.' What?

Don't spook him now.

Last time we met you weren't exactly
whistling God Save The Queen.
Suddenly you risk everything.

If you're lying to me,
I'll k*ll you.

Did you think everything I told you
about my brother and my family,
my beliefs, that is a lie as well?

Listen, I think we may
have picked up a tail.

I'll meet you at the lock-up.

Come with me,
I need you to do something.

'Sorry about that stunt
at your house.'

Bit dramatic. 30 seconds
before I hang up. What do you want?

OK, OK!

I need your help, badly.

What? And you think blackmailing
me is the best way to get it?

Look, John,

I made silly promises.

I need that Albany file.

No, I told you.

I'm not doing this.

Please, they won't leave me alone.

Do this for me and I'm gone. Forever.

You can carry on

with whatever life you want.

Are you committed to the cause
of your government?

No.

Does anyone else know about
your involvement with MI5?

No. The tail?
It was nothing. I was wrong.

Flying colours. He's on the level.

So, do I still call you Clare?

Might as well.

OK. What do you want me to do?

Well, QMK just about stopped short
of patting me on the head and
telling me to run along, thankfully.

I warned them about the threat
to their Amphitrite project, but

apparently they're very confident
in their security.

Anything from our asset?

Beth's got him looking into them.

Surely they'd want our help
if someone's planning to steal
their crown jewels.

Tariq, we need to get into their
system and find out more.

Their core files are well protected.
Couple of days to crack
them remotely.

If we could use a terminal
in their offices, I could upload an
instant hack, bypass the firewall.

So we go in.

Security's tight. Have you got
a list of QMK contractors?
We'll need to borrow an identity.

Got it. Cleaners, temps. No, someone
with higher access. Translator?
Starts tomorrow. Perfect.

Name's Kendra Scott. Speaks
French, German, Arabic and Mandarin.

Alpha Two in position.

OK, Gazelle.
Officer in place. Got your back.

Picosecond count still one.

SHE TRANSLATES TO CHINESE

HE SPEAKS CHINESE

Well, it's good enough for quark!

Let's take a break. I need coffee.

SHE TRANSLATES TO CHINESE

This is Gazelle.

I'm on the move.
We haven't got long.

You try remembering
the Mandarin for quark.



There'll be a priority
access terminal where you
can hack into the system.

OK, there's a guard
and a very locked-looking door.

Sorry. There was no indication
that would be secured.

OK.

That'll do.

God, are you all right?

No, sorry, I've got hypoglycemia.
I need to get to a bathroom.

Got to take my shot.

Can you let me?

Look, I'm sorry, I know
you're not supposed to...

I'll get some relief.

I'll check on you in two minutes,
OK? Thank you, thank you.

Come on, come on, come on.

PHONE RINGS

Kai? I searched for QMK
on our systems like you asked.

There's a b*mb. Where? There.

At QMK. We've planted it.

You need to be sure about this. It'
going to take out the whole building.
It'll look like an accident.

Alpha Two to all units. I've just
received a report from our asset.

The Chinese have a b*mb
planted inside QMK.

They could detonate at any moment.

Gazelle, get out of there
immediately. One minute.

They don't want to steal
the desalination tech,
they want to destroy it.

Tariq, jam the mobile networks and
GPS to prevent remote detonation

and red flash the b*mb squad.
Alpha Two, prepare to evacuate.

I'm in.

It's moot. Leave immediately.

Please make your way
to the nearest exit.

You need to hear this.
Amphitrite's not the codename
for the desalination project.

Amphitrite is its creator. It's
a female scientist, Chinese born.

Jiang Li. Do you copy?

She's in the building. Lab T15.

It's an assassination. 'Agreed.'

Gazelle, find that scientist fast
and get both of you out safely.

OK, everybody out.
Move as quickly as you can.
Step away from the building.

Quickly, move.

Quickly.

Miss Jiang?

Miss Jiang?

SHE YELPS

AMERICAN ACCENT: Who are you?
Will you please stop pointing
that g*n at me?

Let me see your access card.
There's a fire in this building.

There is no fire.
We've done a thermal scan.

Thermal scan? Who are these guys?

Let me see your access card now.

Come clean. I'm security services.

Protocol mauve six pelican.

CIA?

Gold nine cormorant.

If you are Five, you better tell me
what you're doing here, now.

Tell them.
We're investigating a possible
Chinese operation against Ms Jiang.

We have a credible b*mb threat
against this building.

Source?

A trusted asset
in the Chinese Embassy.

A trusted asset in
the Chinese Embassy.

You need to get her out of here.

All right. Let's go, Ms Jiang.

You had better be right.

Lucas North, section chief.
We need to talk. We secure
the package first. OK?

Come with me, please.

My son will be OK?

You promise?

Yes. The CIA are very...very good.

Where are we headed?
Nearby safehouse.

Randomly assigned location from HQ.
We don't even know.

We can't call this relationship
special if we don't even talk.

Once I know what's going on, we
can get caught up...sweetheart.

Wait, you said this location
was randomly assigned?
GPS transmission from our base.

When? Just now.

But we jammed the signal.

EXPLOSIONS

CAR ALARMS RING

Target on the move!

We delivered Jiang directly to them.

They knew we'd react
to a b*mb threat

by shutting down the networks,
enabling them to hijack CIA GPS.

They just had to sit and wait.
There was no b*mb. So the intel? Fed
to us. The Chinese let us steal it.

It gave us the only thing
that they knew about Jiang -
her codename, Amphitrite.

Which leads us to one conclusion
about the entire operation.
Kai's a triple agent.

We've been on the end
of their rope from the start.

We've been manipulated by a foreign
superpower on our own soil, not
only with ease but with contempt.

No way we could have known.
We may have a small window of
opportunity to turn this round.

Bring Kai in quickly and quietly,
before he has a chance to disappear.

I'm sorry about your lip. Don't be.

You couldn't have predicted this.
I couldn't have got it more wrong
if I tried.

Tariq, have you got our phone
tracking logs from yesterday?

I can get them.
Is there a problem?

I'm sure it's just a glitch.

Lucas followed a suspected
tail onto the tube yesterday
and he got on at Queensway.

The Central line
was suspended all afternoon.

Maybe they restarted it
when they saw him.

I mean, he's pretty mean-looking.

I need a code seven protocol.

You couldn't look it up for me,
could you?

Listen, don't worry,
I'll do it myself. Thanks, Stephen.

The CIA operation.

No wonder QMK stonewalled me.
You didn't think I should be
in this loop?

Part of the deal, I'm afraid.

CIA run Jiang's protection,
no Five involvement.

Beecher lied to my face.
That's spying for you.

Look, the US lose
$300 billion every year
to Chinese industrial espionage.

It occurred to them
that some of that

could be flowing the other way, with
the handy by-product of stemming
China's escalating economic clout.

By poaching Chinese scientists?
We fit in how?

We house them,
we get a share of the spoils.

We're the Guantanamo for boffins?

Amphitrite made the decision freely.

She's a British citizen now. Don't
underestimate the value of that.

And if her technology
works as promised,

our share in it will safeguard
our energy supply for decades.

Oil-rich countries do tend to
be rather water-poor. A trade.

Water for oil, so we can keep the
Passat running, and they can live.

Harry, the Agency wants Kai. No.

He betrayed us. We'll deal with him.
I don't want to jeopardise this
deal with the Americans.

Which is why we can afford
to piss them off only for
a little longer,

should you get to Kai
before they do.

We already know the truth. You might
as well tell us. I don't understand.
What happened to the b*mb?

What happens to Jiang now? I don't
know what you're talking about.

Your brother in Tiananmen -
was that to get me onside?
Do you even have a brother?

Everything I've told you
has been absolutely true.

I don't know what's happened.
I have been a good traitor!

I want Lucas in there. Where is he?

PHONE RINGS

RINGING STOPS

PHONE RINGS

I need you to take over from Beth,
she's too close to this.
I've been calling.

Where are you? Just been following
that lead on the red CSS van.
I'm on my way.

Lucas.

I've been digging
in the GCHQ archive.

If Kai's a triple agent, then
we'll have had a cleaned-up file
fed to us at some point.

Kai's brother did disappear after
Tiananmen Square, but look who led
the police to his hiding place.

Good work.

You can drop the innocent act now.

Why did you do it, Kai? Patriotism?
I don't know what
you're talking about!

You were the one who informed
on your own brother when you
were 14 years old?

Yeah, your little friend here has
been a party loyalist all his life.

Tell me, what kind of fanatic gives
up his own brother to a state he
knows will imprison or execute him?

You OK?

I spent hours and hours with Kai,
listening to him talk,
feeling what he felt.

I just can't believe
it was all a lie.

You came up against a better
opponent, that's all.

And it could have gone worse.

How exactly?

Well, in this job,

every day you make it home
in one piece,

that's a little victory.

Bloody hell, I can see why they
don't let you write the prospectus.

Your instincts were wrong
on this one.

But don't stop trusting them
after one mistake.

FAINT CLICK

PHONE RINGS

Beth, where are you?
Kai's flat. It's bugged.

We're not monitoring him.
Neither are the Americans.
They're Chinese bugs.

Why would the CSS spy
on one of their loyal officers?

Western educated, emotionally
compromised cos of his family
background.

Beth, he's a triple agent.

He's the perfect triple agent
cos he doesn't know it.
They used him.

They knew we were cultivating him,
so let it happen.

And when the time was right,
they fed him disinformation
that he thought was the truth.

Lucas, he's been on our side
all along.

All this time,

I thought I was being brave.

You were brave.
I was stupid, disloyal and weak.

That's why they chose me.

I didn't disappoint.

I'm so sorry. I was trying to help.

I was really trying to help.

You still can.

Your flat was bugged.

They would have one on your person,
but we scanned you on the way in,
so it's not with you now.

Do you have a coat, a phone?

My briefcase, they're always taking
it away for security sweeps.

I know we have no right
to ask for your help...

You have every right.

I betrayed you.

Just tell me what to do.

You OK? Yeah. Fine.

Good.

So there's a woman at your embassy.

A scientist called Jiang Li.

Her codename is Amphitrite.

We need her. Right now,
the Home Secretary is drafting

an emergency law which means that we
can legally enter and take her back.

All I need you to do is make sure
that she doesn't leave before
tomorrow. I'll see what I can do.

Still a vodka man, I take it, huh?

Come on,
you don't need to be so unfriendly.

Hope you covered your tracks.
Did you use a fall guy?

Course you did.

Didn't have to do that, of course.

You could have taken a risk.
Talked your way out of it.

Harry Pearce would have believed you.

Still, better to be safe than sorry.

Best to set someone up.

Whose life did you ruin today, John?

Look, I did what you asked.

I helped you.

Now you and I are done.

You didn't do this for me.

You did this for you.

Maya!

What are you doing?

You shouldn't be here!

Listen, I've done it.
You've done what?

I've fixed things.

Everything's clear.

We can be together.

Do anything.
John, you need to slow down.

Sorry, I just had to tell you.

I don't want to waste
another moment.

OK, OK.

It's got to be forever this time,
John.

IN CHINESE:

We're on. Looks like it worked.

They're taking Jiang out of the
embassy. Get CO19 into position.

They're loading her
into a blue Transit.

Reg, Victor, two nine six.

Oh, my God, Kai's with them.
They're taking him too.

Maintain eyeball. I'm on my way.

IN CHINESE:

TYRES SCREECH

Armed police!
Jiang, Kai, out of the car.

PHONE RINGS

Harry Pearce. 'This is Shao.

'You are interfering with
the rightful repatriation
of Chinese citizens.

'I'm outside Thames House
right now.'

I've just had a call from
the Chinese section chief.

Tell Lucas to hold his position.

Hold position, Alpha One.

Hold.

Awaiting further orders.

It's been a few months, Mr Shao.

I have no interest in playing spies.

You can pretend it's still
the Cold w*r if you want.

In fact, it suits us perfectly.
Down to brass tacks, then.

If you think I'll let you walk away
with Ms Jiang, you're making
a catastrophic mistake.

We were planning to destroy
her research in an expl*si*n
at QMK tonight.

A truck, loaded with industrial
gases, in the underground car park.

But your act of aggression
has forced us to abandon
the truck elsewhere.

We will detonate
if you don't give her back.

There'll be many casualties. That
would be an act of w*r, Mr Shao.

Jiang was removed from China on an
operation that k*lled two civilians.

So let us not talk acts of w*r.

Stand by, Alphas.

What the hell is going on?

No idea. Stay sharp.

I'll talk to the Home Secretary.

You have ten minutes.

RINGING TONE

Ruth, there's a truck b*mb
somewhere in London.

The Chinese are threatening
to detonate it unless we let
them have Jiang and Kai.

Harry, it's another bluff.
I don't think so. Not this time.

QMK would never let a truck
into their car park unless it
was from an approved contractor.

Get a list. See if any of them
have had a vehicle stolen.

Right.


with any vehicle unaccounted for.

Check out CCTV on the way to QMK.
Find that vehicle.

Last camera got it approaching
Elephant & Castle 15 minutes ago.

'b*mb squad'll never get
there on time.'

Dimitri, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Clare, what's going on?
It's OK. Just stay calm.

The Yanks will crucify us.

Annoy the Americans or risk
British lives - there's no decision
here, Home Secretary.

I need you to be sure about this,
Harry. Take it down to the wire.

Confirm the b*mb is real.

If it is...give her back
to the Chinese.

IN CHINESE:

Got it! I've found the van!

South side of Borough Market.
We need to be sure. How far
is Dimitri? Still two minutes.

You are late. The Home Secretary
is currently over the Atlantic.

Getting through is proving
quite difficult.

I'm here. I can see the van.

You are delaying me
to find the truck.

I assure you I am trying
to get you an answer.

I'm sorry, Mr Pearce,
but with no decision,
you leave me with no option.

It's here. The b*mb is real.
OK, Mr Shao. You win.
Alpha One and Two, stand down.

Alpha Three, evacuate the area
and liaise with the b*mb squad.

Guys, I need you to clear this area
immediately.

Move away from the area. Please!

Drop it!

SHOUTING

'Kai's got a g*n.'

It's a stand-off. We may
have time to defuse that b*mb.
You heard him, Alpha Three.

Doesn't look too bad.
The electronics will be hidden
though, near the centre.

Should tell you up front,
this is my first time.

'Be gentle with me.'

Beth, talk him down. Slow and calm.

Triggers and failsafes will be
routed through that circuit board.

See the chip that's
bigger than the other?

Yeah. You need to melt it.

Sounds like you just told me
to melt the enormous b*mb.

It'll k*ll the transmitter and
the b*mb won't be able to detonate.
Kai. Please just listen to me.

Calm down.

Just take some deep breaths.

Just put the g*n down.
There's nothing you can do.

No! There's something I can do.

She's innocent. That's why
you can't k*ll her. But I can.

Then at least they don't get her.

Be careful not to burn the other
components. Yeah, thanks.

I know they k*lled your brother,
but this is no way to seek...

I k*lled my brother!

He must have triggered the failsafe.
Get out now!

Just a minute, nearly there.

What kind of fanatic
gives his brother away?

A boy impressed by words
and ideas and lies.

One who, every single day since, has
tried to make up for what he did.

This is the only way that we can win.

Don't you dare close your eyes!

If you're going to sh**t that woman,
you damn well look her in the face!

b*mb safe, b*mb safe!

It's over. The b*mb's diffused.

OK? Thank you, Ruth.

For what it's worth, handing you
over to the CIA like a piece of meat,

none of us want that.

I'm a commodity.

If you're valuable enough
to someone, you can never be free.

Still, I have my son.

Do you have children?

No.

Harry... If you don't start
knocking, I'll have to have
you fitted with a cowbell.

Everything all right?
The CIA are picking up Jiang.

But Beth asked to take Kai
to them personally.

I hate the way we're just handing
them over like they're just things
to be exchanged and moved around.

We're all being moved
around by someone, Ruth.

But I agree with you.
Kai deserves better.

Wish there was something we could do.

PHONE RINGS

Hello? If there is anywhere Mr Kai
would like to "stop off" on the way,
do make sure he gets there safely.

OK.

What's wrong? Where are we going?

You tell me.

Take a right up here.

Then the next left.

You can't be serious? Just here.

No, Kai, they'll take you
back to China. This is insane.

I figured out what my purpose is -
to betray. Listen to me...

I didn't realise until now.

But that's what I do.
I betrayed my brother.

My country. Your country.

Every ideal I've ever had.

Stop.
You know what they'll do to you.

Maybe. But I need to see my parents.

Tell them the truth. Try and explain.

Their forgiveness is not worth
your life. I can't let you do this.

Just let me have this little bit of
control over my life. Just for once.

Just for today. This is suicide!

Don't remember me too poorly, eh?

Tariq, any news
from the Border Agency?

Three known aliases of the CSS
snatch team left the country
an hour ago. They've gone.

Does anyone know Stephen Owen?
G Section? He's been arrested.

He crashed the mainframe and diverted
£24,000 from one of our slush funds
into his personal bank account.

That's not possible, is it?

Well, his user ID and password
were logged at the time of the crash.

He's only 22.

He'll serve time for that.
A traitor's a traitor.

IN CHINESE:

All Section D operations are
suspended and all resources

dedicated to finding this man.

Muatt Hutri. Commands his own
Islamist paramilitary group.

We treat this as a Priority
One threat to the talks.

Have you heard from Beth? Not for
a couple of hours. She's missing.

Please! If the leader of the free
world dies on a London street...

I don't need you to paint me the
bloody picture. Find this man!
