00:00:02Hey, but have you seen my phone? I just had it.
00:00:04I sold it.
00:00:05Oh.
00:00:09How many times have we told him?
00:00:11Try something else.
00:00:11Put it in the dishwasher.
00:00:12That's from last night, I think.
00:00:13Oh.
00:00:15Mum, I can't find my publisher.
00:00:17Uh, have you looked in your wardrobe?
00:00:18That's not bad.
00:00:19A radical suggestion, try the dryer.
00:00:22So, you finish eating and then you put it inside this little box.
00:00:25It's called a dishwasher.
00:00:26Yeah.
00:00:29No, no, you are not wearing fake eyelashes to school.
00:00:32It's a health hazard.
00:00:33Well, the glue's not dry.
00:00:33I could go blind.
00:00:34I'm going to go blind.
00:00:35Get them off.
00:00:35Yeah, no, breakfast, please.
00:00:36Thanks, Mum.
00:00:37You need to eat some breakfast.
00:00:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will.
00:00:39I'll take something with me.
00:00:41Seriously, Katie, please make sure you do it.
00:00:43I don't want to be in lag.
00:00:44Eat breakfast.
00:00:45You are in lag.
00:00:48You know those things are bad at school.
00:00:57Oh, I'll have to dry on you.
00:01:00Wow, great advice, Mum.
00:01:04Where's my scarf?
00:01:05It was on the chair.
00:01:06Uh, don't you try the old pile of death over there.
00:01:08Oh.
00:01:09I'm going to sort it today, I promise you.
00:01:10Yeah, you will.
00:01:11I promise you.
00:01:13Fiona.
00:01:18I need my green scarf.
00:01:19I'm wearing it today.
00:01:20I'll swap you one of mine.
00:01:21All right, fine.
00:01:23No, I'll do it.
00:01:23Jesus, Mum.
00:01:25You are so stressful.
00:01:26All right.
00:01:26I'll find you one.
00:01:30I'll find you one.
00:01:48Why do you always knock everything away?
00:01:51So long as you're not dealing drugs.
00:01:53How do you think I bought our massive mansion?
00:01:57Don't lose it.
00:01:58Love you.
00:02:04Okay, I've got to go.
00:02:05Wait, you.
00:02:07This.
00:02:07Oh, thank you.
00:02:08So what is it this time, huh?
00:02:09Convert of a jag in Monte Carlo or a mosque in Istanbul?
00:02:12Yeah, there is.
00:02:14Bye, kids.
00:02:15Be good.
00:02:16Come on, Lee.
00:02:17I'll miss you.
00:02:19Get a room.
00:02:22Eyelashes off.
00:02:23You now.
00:02:24They're off.
00:02:24Bye.
00:02:25Love you.
00:02:26Love you.
00:02:38We have clear skies.
00:02:40Echo.
00:02:40Now into car shop.
00:02:42Okay.
00:02:42I've got you some prickly pear jam.
00:02:45Said you wanted something Maltese.
00:02:46No hostiles in the area.
00:02:48It's either that or cactus liqueur.
00:02:50We'll have eyes on her when she leaves the cigar shop.
00:02:52Yeah.
00:02:53I don't think so.
00:02:55minister viendo.
00:03:10Bye.
00:03:12Bye.
00:03:14Bye.
00:03:14Bye.
00:03:16Bye.
00:03:26I saw an echo of the agreed room CCTV cameras are all here at the church okay call you later
00:03:50so
00:03:51I don't know.
00:04:30I don't know.
00:04:54Do you have the scars?
00:05:08Two hundred hours of battery life.
00:05:11Right thumb here.
00:05:13It only works for you.
00:05:19The spare battery's here.
00:05:22I'll send you a message if you need to put one in.
00:05:26So what's the gossip in the villa?
00:05:29Not much.
00:05:31Igor's on the phone all day.
00:05:35I was right about Mija.
00:05:38He's got something going on with Mati.
00:05:41The PA?
00:05:44I've been watching you.
00:05:47You're doing great, Lena.
00:05:50How's my brother?
00:05:54We'll have him move to the border any day now.
00:05:57This is his way out.
00:05:59And yours.
00:06:00Just focus on that.
00:06:03Igor likes to boast and we want to know about Moscow's ops in Europe.
00:06:07Igor makes me nervous.
00:06:11He's on holiday with his family.
00:06:13He's got nothing to be suspicious about.
00:06:26You should go.
00:06:29Are we good?
00:06:33We're good.
00:07:04Hi.
00:07:27Just getting out of the car.
00:07:41Things later are molasses.
00:07:43Okay.
00:07:47Hang on.
00:07:48Bye.
00:07:48Bye.
00:07:51Bye.
00:08:10I'm back.
00:08:13Time to put it away.
00:08:15I've got to kill the dragon.
00:08:17No, you don't want to see, Sam.
00:08:19Yes.
00:08:20How you like it?
00:08:21Thanks, Matty.
00:08:22Pleasure.
00:08:24We'll talk about it twice, right?
00:08:26Well, that's it.
00:08:30Hold it.
00:08:33Thank you, Tim.
00:08:35Thank you, Tim.
00:08:36English guys, even on vacation, all of us, he has to learn.
00:08:41Mish, I'm off for my massage.
00:08:43No, ready?
00:08:44I got your aloe vera.
00:08:45You're an angel, thank you.
00:08:48Please make sure Sandro does all his French homework.
00:08:50Of course, he knows what I said no.
00:08:51Don't make it fast.
00:08:52Grandpa has to work too.
00:08:54Do you hear your mother?
00:08:57Then excuse me.
00:08:58So, the French lesson?
00:09:07Why do I need to learn French?
00:09:09French and English.
00:09:14Well, it's really more universal English than French.
00:09:18Why do I need to go in French?
00:09:21Well, what other reasons could there be?
00:09:24Maybe...
00:09:25Maybe...
00:09:26Maybe if I was going French, I'd have known you to France.
00:09:31Full time.
00:09:32Why do you want me to learn?
00:09:53Well, I do.
00:09:54Okay.
00:09:54I'm sorry.
00:09:55Yeah.
00:10:01Well, how are they? Are they bad?
00:10:05Moscow sent her live from Malta.
00:10:38You look very handsome.
00:10:41I feel like Caesar walking to the Senate.
00:10:45You know how many times he was stabbed? 23.
00:10:49Same number of ministers in my cabinet.
00:10:59Ryan definitely leaks. Trust me, or at least Melissa does anyway.
00:11:02Is that what special advisors are for?
00:11:04Excuse me, Minister. That is an outrageous accusation from you. Thank you very much.
00:11:08So, listen. If Ryan comes in hard on the small boats and pull him up, he needs to roll his
00:11:13tanks off your lawn, okay?
00:11:15You know how he does play to the crowd.
00:11:16Yeah, but you're the bloody Home Secretary, for God's sake. This is your patch, not his.
00:11:20Tell that to the Prime Minister. He lets Ryan walk all over him.
00:11:23Yeah, but that's because he's popular, isn't he? I mean, dear old Anton, bless him, he never really learnt the
00:11:28art of PR, did he? He's too old school.
00:11:30That's why I trust him.
00:11:33Trust me, he's hot. He's gonna backfire, okay?
00:11:47I've requested a bilat with the French in Lisbon, Anthony. Would you like me to raise Dover? Not to the
00:11:52ground, obviously, though it's tempting.
00:11:56Permission?
00:11:57Permission?
00:12:00Take your eye.
00:12:02Right. To business.
00:12:06I'm responsible for all foreign operations. You're a week in, and I find out about it now.
00:12:11The head of the Russia desk has operational independence. I learnt that from you, Zack.
00:12:15Not what I'm learning about your ops, from the accounts department.
00:12:19Getting ears close to their chief was always the holy grail for us.
00:12:22Agreed. But right now, Moth is a red zone, oligarch central, and you've said it.
00:12:27You're running an op against the chief of Russian intelligence, Wise on Holiday, which they would consider highly provocative, if
00:12:35Eagle rumbles your agent.
00:12:36He won't. And the potential intelligence outweighs the risk.
00:12:40Potential?
00:12:43You can't give him so much ice cream all the time, like, what do you want to be a sugar
00:12:47boy or something?
00:12:48You don't call it, eh?
00:12:50Comps, it's okay. You're a good boy.
00:12:54To justify an op like this, Eagle would have to be trading top-grade insights with his son.
00:13:02Who's your agent in there, anyway?
00:13:05She's Mikhail Woradin's Russian nanny.
00:13:07Who is she?
00:13:08She's an orphan.
00:13:09She's scared shitless her kid brother's about to be conscripted.
00:13:12I'm offering them an escape route.
00:13:15You're bloody risky, mate.
00:13:17All I can say is, it'd better be worth it.
00:13:20If nothing turns up, I'm pulling a plug in three days.
00:13:31What about Gus? How's he getting on?
00:13:33Well, he's been dropped, bless him.
00:13:35No. Why would they do that? Why would they drop him? I thought he was one of the best players
00:13:39on the team.
00:13:39I know. I might have exaggerated a little bit. Come on, there's a farther prerogative.
00:13:44Eagle's got a visitor.
00:13:48Sounds busy there.
00:13:50Yeah, I've gotta go. I'll call you later.
00:13:53Okay, bye.
00:14:02So, I've got a new rifle.
00:14:09Well, welcome to my friend.
00:14:13Thank you, dear.
00:14:36We want it.
00:14:37We want it.
00:14:43Good.
00:14:44Look at you.
00:14:44Let's go.
00:14:46Let's go.
00:14:48Black horse.
00:14:49For better times.
00:14:51I think that's Kirill Markov.
00:14:53Jesus.
00:14:54We think he's here to talk UK ops.
00:14:57That's all he's ever worked on.
00:14:58He's not on holiday. He's got to be bringing intel from London.
00:15:02He's a ruthless bastard.
00:15:10I'm glad to see you.
00:15:11I haven't seen you yet.
00:15:12How are you?
00:15:13Misha.
00:15:14Your wife prefers English.
00:15:16What is your son, Anton?
00:15:17You need to get out of Finland?
00:15:19You turn into European.
00:15:20Well, look, this must be a bit of a relief after the Moscow gloom, huh?
00:15:23Beautiful weather.
00:15:24Let me get you a drink, huh?
00:15:26Let's go.
00:15:26Have they shown you around?
00:15:28Yes.
00:15:29Have you seen the guesthouse here?
00:15:31My father had a field last year.
00:15:33Let's go.
00:15:33Let's go.
00:15:33Let's go.
00:15:34Let's go.
00:15:35Ah, they're out of range.
00:15:41Okay, so that's the cigar box on the move again.
00:15:43Do you remember that holiday in Maldon?
00:15:44Oh, that was, that was really something.
00:15:47Oh, Lien.
00:15:49Lien.
00:15:52Lienочка, this is Kirill Markov.
00:15:56He's a close friend of the family.
00:15:57Kirill, this is our nanny, Lien.
00:16:00Nice to meet you, Mr. Markov.
00:16:01Kirill.
00:16:01The pleasure is mine.
00:16:04She's been with us for two years now.
00:16:07Speaks fluent Finnish.
00:16:08Kirill, you want a cigar?
00:16:10Why not?
00:16:12You may go, darling.
00:16:14Misha, I have a cognac, please.
00:16:17The cigars are bought by the ministry to keep my father happy.
00:16:23Ah, Marie.
00:16:25Went Mexican.
00:16:26Oh, yeah.
00:16:27Stop.
00:16:28So, Marina's gone to bed,
00:16:31and the men are a bottle in.
00:16:33Wine or vodka?
00:16:34Both.
00:16:35Igor's showing off his cello.
00:16:36Yeah.
00:16:36That's good.
00:16:37It'll loosen them up.
00:16:38What's the cigar?
00:16:39Well, someone somewhere's got cancer.
00:16:42In their ranks?
00:16:43No.
00:16:44Sounds like a politician.
00:16:46Put it on speaker?
00:16:47Yeah.
00:16:48I think he'll give us an example.
00:16:50I think he'll give us an example.
00:16:51But it's a blood cancer.
00:16:54He'll never live in the house.
00:16:55It's a terrible death.
00:16:57Even for English.
00:17:00Okay.
00:17:01We'll win.
00:17:04We'll win.
00:17:05We'll win.
00:17:11We'll win.
00:17:18We'll win.
00:17:19We'll win.
00:17:19We'll win.
00:17:19We'll win.
00:17:23I'll win.
00:17:26We'll win.
00:17:27Marl them off, Putin.
00:17:30Play it back.
00:17:33Someone close to the top.
00:17:34Or at it.
00:17:35But if Anthony Fletcher had cancer, wouldn't we know about it?
00:17:38Nothing stays secret in Whitehall for long.
00:17:40No, not unless this is all a bit convenient.
00:17:44With three days from calling time, the Moscow suddenly hands us the intelligence coup of the century.
00:17:49But how could they have known we'd be listening? Our security was bulletproof.
00:17:53We're gonna have to go home and put it in front of Zack.
00:17:55Fuck me.
00:17:57How long have we got left on the battery?
00:17:59A day, at most.
00:18:03What are you thinking?
00:18:04Do you want to tell Echo to change it?
00:18:07It's a lot riskier of Kirill in there.
00:18:11Let's see how this plays out and then I'll make the call.
00:18:15The stakes are higher now.
00:18:18We'll need more to convince Zack.
00:18:32O.F.
00:18:33Along the way, the
00:18:39InCellation 요�
00:18:48Good Morning.
00:19:31It's a bit early, even for you.
00:19:33It's a big day.
00:19:34If this checks out, it's going to be the off of the decade.
00:19:36I just hope so.
00:19:37I don't think Zach's a fan of bottom shelves.
00:19:39More rising stars.
00:19:41Good luck.
00:19:46No.
00:19:50Fuck me, no.
00:19:54I'm sorry, Kate, but I think it's a classic Moscow play.
00:19:58There's no evidence they know we've got ears in the villa.
00:20:01We spent eight months setting this up.
00:20:03Our security was bulletproof.
00:20:04I believe you.
00:20:06But Russia's dangled hooks like this to every agency in the West.
00:20:10I'm just trying to follow the facts, Zach.
00:20:12Which might actually be misinformation.
00:20:16Igor and Kirill Markov hook you in and plant the idea they've got a spy at the top of the
00:20:23British political system.
00:20:25We spend the next ten years chasing a ghost.
00:20:29Oh, it's true, and we've just got wind of it.
00:20:31MPs are easy enough targets for entrapment.
00:20:34Well, that's a line for C's next select committee appearance.
00:20:38I'm sure he'd enjoy telling the foreign secretary, our boss, that he's one of the people in pole position to
00:20:44be a Russian spy.
00:20:46Look, I understand your caution.
00:20:48I know how you got played when you were ahead of my desk.
00:20:51Every agent runner's been played.
00:20:53And I don't want the same thing to happen to you.
00:20:57That's why I'm in this office.
00:21:01Can't we just ask the PM directly if he's ill and rule it out?
00:21:05Sure.
00:21:06We hear you're dying, Anthony.
00:21:07Could you confirm that?
00:21:08Well, I'm going to have to insist.
00:21:10The raw intel from Walter goes into the PM's overnight brief.
00:21:13That's C's call.
00:21:13Yeah, I know.
00:21:15But if it is misinformation, wouldn't he want to know about it?
00:21:18Nice play.
00:21:19You'll make a Whitehall warrior yet.
00:21:22Check in with Rose and go over your security.
00:21:25I'll need your debrief in 48 hours.
00:21:28Then I want the op wound up.
00:21:30If you have been compromised or your girl in Malta set you up...
00:21:33Echo didn't set us up.
00:21:35I know my agent.
00:21:39Leave Julie there to keep an eye on her.
00:21:43Until you've triple-checked your sources.
00:21:46No political investigations on home turf.
00:21:51Understood?
00:21:53Understood.
00:22:00Forty-eight hours.
00:22:01How generous.
00:22:03Well, we all know how badly he wants C's job.
00:22:06First Muslim chief of MI6.
00:22:09Even so, Rose.
00:22:09He's been bloody obstructive.
00:22:11Zach's always felt the world is against him.
00:22:14Not unfairly.
00:22:15Well, if I try and stall him,
00:22:17he'll just throw his toys out of the pram.
00:22:19So we need to buy more time.
00:22:22Okay.
00:22:22Write up your report.
00:22:24Send it to me first.
00:22:25As head of security, I'm busy,
00:22:26so I won't be able to give you an answer for what?
00:22:29Three days?
00:22:29Then I'll need another one or two to digest it.
00:22:32I'm going to give the SO's expert view the consideration it deserves.
00:22:36That should give you about a week.
00:22:37So verify your intel?
00:22:40Thanks, Rose.
00:22:41Good.
00:22:43Oh, could you speak to your guys in Moscow
00:22:45about advancing Echo's brother to the start line?
00:22:48I think we might need to begin his extraction sooner than we thought.
00:22:51I can, but Zach will need to sign it off.
00:22:55I'll try and work my magic.
00:22:58I owe you.
00:22:59As always.
00:23:05Hi.
00:23:07Julie just called.
00:23:09My battery's dead.
00:23:10Oh, Christ.
00:23:12What do you want to do?
00:23:13You thought I'd go to change it?
00:23:18Yeah.
00:23:19You sure?
00:23:20We haven't got a choice.
00:23:21We don't know who they've compromised in the cabinet yet.
00:23:23Okay.
00:23:29So how was Zach?
00:23:31But don't tell me.
00:23:32We now have permission to investigate the entire cabinet.
00:23:35We do not.
00:23:36Zach thinks they saw us coming.
00:23:38He can't just refuse to believe something might be true
00:23:41because it's too explosive.
00:23:42He can, and he has.
00:23:44I've been over the op security again, yeah.
00:23:46There's no red flags.
00:23:47I told him that.
00:23:49Ah, Home Secretary.
00:23:51Mm-hmm.
00:23:52She's smart.
00:23:52Black, female, black.
00:23:54It's not an obvious choice for Moscow, which is why I like it.
00:24:00Yeah.
00:24:02Stuart and I are having dinner with her tonight.
00:24:04Oh, yeah.
00:24:05We might just ask her about the PM's health, seeing as I'm off duty.
00:24:08Hmm.
00:24:10Are you going to talk to C?
00:24:12No, no, no.
00:24:13Not what Zach's holding out.
00:24:14You should shut that down before he sees it.
00:24:16No investigating any MPs.
00:24:18Express orders.
00:24:19Right, of course.
00:24:20But just in the event that I was stuck here late at night, bored.
00:24:29I had no idea you were such an insubordinate pain in the arse.
00:24:38I had no idea you were such an insubordinate for today.
00:24:40Oh, yeah.
00:24:48I had no idea you were such an insubordinate pain in the arse.
00:24:50Okay.
00:24:54Huh?
00:24:57Sorry.
00:24:57Uh, yeah.
00:24:58Wow.
00:25:02Does that qualify for anything like that?
00:25:14Bella, Irina tells me you're from St. Petersburg, like me.
00:25:17Yes, Reginoy. I moved to Helsinki with Mikhail and Irina.
00:25:21Really? So we speak Finnish?
00:25:27Maybe we can find some job for you in the service.
00:25:30Not so well. Sandro speaks better than I do.
00:25:34Uh-huh. Same. But your English is really good.
00:25:38It's a fucking stupid language.
00:25:41Never mean what you think. Just like Brits.
00:25:44Never mean what they say.
00:25:48Leonочка, don't pay attention to him.
00:25:50He thinks he's God's gift to women.
00:25:54You need a proper drink, asshole.
00:25:56He's an asshole.
00:25:59The Petrus is open in your honor.
00:26:01Just you and me.
00:26:05Lenочка, we'll save your glass.
00:26:07You look like you need something to cheer you up.
00:26:12Don't take it personally.

00:28:42We have a member of the family.
00:28:42We have a number of people.
00:28:50So who's this Jane?
00:28:52Oh, I don't know. Some boy from school.
00:28:55What, is that her boyfriend or what?
00:28:57I think so.
00:28:58How old is he?
00:28:59Can you ask her about it then?
00:29:01I know.
00:29:03How's the stabbing in cabinet?
00:29:05Front or back?
00:29:06It's both.
00:29:08Today Ryan was rolling out his Tribune of the People shtick
00:29:10before swanning off to the NATO summit.
00:29:12Oh, God.
00:29:13Where does that leave you?
00:29:14Making all the boring centrist arguments nobody wants to listen to.
00:29:17Why doesn't the PM reign him in?
00:29:19He used to.
00:29:20He's lost his stuffing a bit.
00:29:22Is that a new thing?
00:29:23Didn't you say that he was a bit, um, off recently?
00:29:27Did I?
00:29:28Don't remember that.
00:29:29Whitehall amnesia.
00:29:31Maybe Jane's got him on the same diet Emma made me do.
00:29:37You'll thank me this summer when it's time to get your legs out.
00:29:39Well, if she has, it's working.
00:29:41He's definitely lost weight.
00:29:43Oh!
00:29:44Oh!
00:29:44Hurry!
00:29:45I don't think that's going to do it.
00:29:47Look, come with me.
00:29:47I'm an expert in damage limitation.
00:29:49She actually is.
00:29:51Sorry, that's her favourite show.
00:29:52Yeah, you're in trouble.
00:29:54I need some salt.
00:29:56Yes.
00:29:59Right here.
00:30:02I don't like that.
00:30:08Is everything all right?
00:30:10Yes.
00:30:12Just knackered for a change.
00:30:13Harry seems on good form, though.
00:30:15Hmm.
00:30:15How's his charity doing?
00:30:17Barely afloat.
00:30:18Steering kids away from knife crime, can't compete with homeless donkeys.
00:30:22Sounds tough.
00:30:23Yeah.
00:30:24I'm trying to find time for him, along with everything else, but...
00:30:28I don't know how you do it.
00:30:30Who says I do?
00:30:33So all the press are at number 10 for an emergency statement from the PM.
00:30:37Oh, no.
00:30:38Yeah.
00:30:47So if you're just joining us and you're wondering what it is you are looking at,
00:30:51we are waiting for this emergency statement by the Prime Minister.
00:31:05And here he is.
00:31:06He's just coming out now.
00:31:07So let's hear what the Prime Minister has to say to the country.
00:31:12Good state of it.
00:31:13Good evening.
00:31:14I'm sorry to have called you here at such short notice.
00:31:18But today I received some unwelcome news.
00:31:22Three weeks ago I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
00:31:27And this afternoon I learned that my prognosis is less positive than I'd hoped.
00:31:35Anyone who has occupied this great office will testify that one can never be a part-time Prime Minister.
00:31:41So I feel I owe it to you all to offer my resignation.
00:31:46Holy shit.
00:31:48I will remain in place until a new leader is chosen.
00:31:52Given my condition, I've asked the party to shorten the process of electing that leader to one week.
00:32:02It has been the privilege of my life to assert my country.
00:32:05The President of Russia is afraid of its own people.
00:32:10He can't say the wrong thing about his special work.
00:32:14He has to defend the lies of his agresive war.
00:32:18He has to arrest and he believes that he has to be a part-time.
00:32:22Where are you going?
00:32:23It's an emergency.
00:32:24Back in an hour.
00:32:24I am.
00:32:25Turn on the news, Melissa.
00:32:28I don't know what it is.
00:32:31From the bottom of our hearts,
00:32:33Jane and I.
00:32:38For more, Anthony.
00:32:39Yeah.
00:32:40No, it's so sad.
00:32:41Listen, we need to get to work now.
00:32:42We've got five days, okay?
00:32:43Give me a minute, Stuart.
00:32:44Must be a hell of a shock.
00:32:46Yeah, the resignation is, but...
00:32:48He told me he had cancer a couple of days ago.
00:32:50Sorry.
00:32:51He swore me to secrecy.
00:32:52Just you or the whole cabinet.
00:32:54He said he was only telling a few people.
00:32:55That's understandable.
00:32:57Yeah.
00:33:02Come on.
00:33:03Come on.
00:33:04Sorry.
00:33:05I've got to take this.
00:33:11Hey, are you still with Imogen?
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:13What's up?
00:33:14So, our intel was real, and guess what?
00:33:16It looks like Lev Amatov made a hefty donation to her husband's charity the year before last.
00:33:22I thought he used to fund the Tories.
00:33:24Yeah, what a man's got his fingers everywhere.
00:33:26Yeah, it looks like it.
00:33:27She just told me donations were down.
00:33:30How much did he give?
00:33:31Oh, you know, just 200 grand.
00:33:34Like, a hundred at first, and then another six months later.
00:33:38Now, I've gone and I've checked the Commons register.
00:33:40She didn't declare either of them.
00:33:41Jesus.
00:33:44I've got to go.
00:33:45I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:33:58That was V.
00:33:59Apparently, it's past her curfew.
00:34:03So, you get it here, Andy?
00:34:05Mm-hmm.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:08Well, I'll drive something tonight, send it over and see how you feel in the morning,
00:34:10all right?
00:34:11Okay.
00:34:11All right, thank you.
00:34:13Bye, Harry.
00:34:22Did you know the PM was ill?
00:34:24No.
00:34:24No, no, she didn't mention it.
00:34:27Was that really Fee who called you just then?
00:34:30Zach.
00:34:31How about the PM?
00:34:32Can't say.
00:34:34Sorry.
00:34:35Give me your secrets.
00:34:37Here we go.
00:34:43Do you think Imogen will work?
00:34:45She doesn't seem that enthusiastic.
00:34:47Don't tell me about it.
00:34:47You could literally write a book on her imposter syndrome.
00:34:50End of the day, who would you rather have as PM?
00:34:51I am her or Ryan bloody Walker.
00:35:05This is my glass, Misha.
00:35:09And your glass is here.
00:35:10Let's go.
00:36:01Let's go.
00:36:10Let's go.
00:36:11Let's go.
00:36:51Let's go.
00:36:54Let's go.
00:36:54Let's go.
00:36:55Let's go.
00:37:21Let's go.
00:37:24Let's go.
00:37:27Let's go.
00:37:28Let's go.
00:37:34Let's go.
00:38:01Let's go.
00:38:07Let's go.
00:38:17Let's go.
00:38:22Let's go.
00:38:23Let's go.
00:38:30Let's go.
00:38:42Let's go.
00:38:43Let's go.
00:38:45Let's go.
00:38:51Let's go.
00:39:14Let's go.
00:39:21Let's go.
00:39:42Let's go.
00:39:53Let's go.
00:39:55Let's go.
00:40:11Let's go.
00:40:15Let's go.
00:40:17Let's go.
00:40:37Let's go.
00:40:51Let's go.
00:40:54Let's go.
00:40:55Let's go.
00:40:59Let's go.
00:41:04Let's go.
00:41:05Let's go.
00:41:08Let's go.
00:41:08Let's go.
00:41:08Let's go.
00:41:08Let's go.
00:41:10Let's go.
00:41:13Let's go.
00:41:32Let's go.
00:41:35All right.
00:41:36Let's go.
00:41:37We back our agents
00:41:37and our intelligence.
00:41:39You serve our political masters too.
00:41:41You both do well to remember that.
00:41:49Sandra's been asking a lot about his friend from school.
00:41:52Oh, Dina's Rene.
00:41:54Yeah.
00:41:55Sandra.
00:41:56No phones at the table.
00:41:58Oh.
00:41:58It's mine.
00:41:59Sorry.
00:42:01Listen to your nana.
00:42:02Not like me.
00:42:03I'm not a baby.
00:42:04Sandro.
00:42:10Look, you make her smile.
00:42:12Like a sun coming out.
00:42:14That's what my mother used to say.
00:42:16Okay.
00:42:18Michal,
00:42:19sun have tonight.
00:42:20She needs some good rest.
00:42:22I'm not the boss here.
00:42:23Sandro.
00:42:25Sure.
00:42:26Thank you, Sandro.
00:42:26What do you say, Sandro?
00:42:28Every rest.
00:42:29Yes.
00:42:30It's always raining.
00:42:31Whenever we pray,
00:42:32it's not very old.
00:42:33I don't know.
00:42:34It's like a standard.
00:42:51She did?
00:42:53I think he's shooting.
00:42:54Deal me in.
00:42:57Are you?
00:42:58Okay.
00:42:58Are you going to be able to?
00:43:08All right.
00:43:10I'm going to be able to get us here.
00:43:21Who's going to be able to go?
00:43:21Somebody,
00:43:21We'll be able to get you by the cost of money.
00:43:22We'll be able to get you.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:30Bye,對對.
00:43:33You wanted to see me.
00:43:38And assuming the original intel for this Maltese op came from Cyclops?
00:43:45Yes. He told me about Igor's annual trips to Valletta.
00:43:48So that information was a plant. Everything else is two.
00:43:52It wasn't. His explanation was entirely credible.
00:43:55So you're sure of the intelligence. What about him?
00:43:58It's all in the file. I've known him since I was a student in St. Petersburg.
00:44:02And 18 years later, he shows up in London, working undercover at the Russian embassy,
00:44:07a senior Moscow intelligence officer, apparently looking to switch lanes.
00:44:11He was already disillusioned. Ukraine was the final straw.
00:44:14You obviously kept in touch.
00:44:16We stayed friends.
00:44:18Were you ever lovers?
00:44:20No.
00:44:21Did you want to be?
00:44:23Not relevant.
00:44:25Did he?
00:44:30Briefly, perhaps.
00:44:31But, um, I was already engaged to Stuart.
00:44:34So, even if we'd wanted to...
00:44:36Ah, I see.
00:44:39So it's what he might have done but didn't
00:44:42that makes you so sure of his loyalty.
00:44:44A moment of weakness, perhaps?
00:44:47That he chose not to take advantage of?
00:44:52Isn't that worthy of trust?
00:44:54We can all lie to someone we love.
00:44:57Not had you done as an incurable romantic.
00:45:01This job rather beats that out of you, I'm afraid.
00:45:05You're one of our best agent runners, Kate, but a great desk head requires many qualities.
00:45:10Certainty isn't one of them.
00:45:12So you're backing Zach?
00:45:13You need to find out if your friend Cyclops has been playing you, inadvertently or not,
00:45:18or you won't just be the youngest head of the Russia desk.
00:45:21You'll be the shortest serving, too.
00:45:25Will you run for the leadership, Foreign Secretary?
00:45:27Right now, my thoughts are just very much with Anthony and Jane.
00:45:30Foreign Secretary, you've got five days till the election.
00:45:33Don't be so coy.
00:45:34You need to get a move on, really.
00:45:36I think in a situation like this, it's very important to maintain our composure as a party.
00:45:40Hmm.
00:45:42What did C have to offer?
00:45:44Strategic ambiguity.
00:45:47His speciality.
00:45:48Meaning, we have to prove that we were right or we're fucked.
00:45:51Ah.
00:45:52And Echo might be, too.
00:45:54I'm going to set up a meeting with Cyclops tomorrow morning at the London Safe House.
00:45:59You need to shut that down.
00:46:01Zach's in the building.
00:46:02Yeah, of course, but it's a shame we can't show them this.
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:07That's Mr. Ryan Walker leaving the NATO conference last night, after the PM's announcement, by
00:46:13the back door.
00:46:15No official car, no PPOs, and no special advisor, Melissa Morris.
00:46:19No, nothing.
00:46:20So, I talked to our Portuguese friends, did a little triangulation.
00:46:23And this was the drop-off point.
00:46:26Little villa in the hills.
00:46:28Guess who owns it?
00:46:30Er, Putin's secret mistress?
00:46:32Close.
00:46:33Try Dmitry, Krimzov's brother-in-law.
00:46:36Are you serious?
00:46:37Oh, yeah.
00:46:38So, Mr. Walker's response to the resignation of our Prime Minister is to go AWOL with the
00:46:43Russian Foreign Minister.
00:46:46Are you certain that Krimzov was at the villa?
00:46:49Well, he got there half an hour before Ryan.
00:46:54Now, there was another arrival in a taxi from the Lisbon Royale.
00:46:57I haven't ID'd him yet, but are you ready for the pièce de résistance?
00:47:02Yeah.
00:47:03The man in the murk is Lev Amatov, our cuddly British oligarch.
00:47:10So, Ryan meets the Russian Foreign Minister, off-grid, in a get-together brokered by a billionaire
00:47:21with historic ties to the Kremlin.
00:47:23I would call that politically suspect, otherwise known as murky as fuck.
00:47:33Stuart had a night out with Melissa at the last party conference.
00:47:36He said she seemed disillusioned by working with Ryan.
00:47:39I should talk to her.
00:47:41We need to talk more about this, but not here.
00:47:43Sure.
00:47:43Do you fancy a cuppa?
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:50If this leaks, Ryan's finished.
00:47:53I take the risk of going in person.
00:47:56Enough, we've got a refuge.
00:47:57Or, maybe Ryan is the one with the ask.
00:48:01On which subject?
00:48:02Why would Imogen accept a 200 grand donation from a man like Lev Amatov?
00:48:08Oh, on paper, you could argue that he's legit, right?
00:48:11I mean, Eaton, Cambridge, he's a chairman of Goldscope Media, man's a tech tycoon.
00:48:16Plus, he's on the board of the British Museum and the Courtauld Institute, along with Ryan's wife.
00:48:22Imogen went to this conference in Portanovi two years ago.
00:48:26Stuart went.
00:48:27I'm pretty sure he said that Lev Amatov was there.
00:48:31Well, there's plenty of dirty money in Montenegro, you know.
00:48:34It's a shame we can't investigate.
00:48:37Assuming we follow our orders.
00:48:41If Zach finds out we're working off to birds...
00:48:43No, he won't, okay?
00:48:44Not if we get out of his eye line.
00:48:47As long as you're working on his debrief,
00:48:49he's not going to give two shits where I am.
00:48:54Anywhere in mind?
00:48:56Yeah, come on.
00:48:59It's just round here.
00:49:04You need a safe place.
00:49:05Yeah, well, it means I can wake up whenever I want to.
00:49:11Come on.
00:49:17Well, it's close to HQ and it's off Zach's radar, so I'll take it.
00:49:21Right, here's a spare key.
00:49:23It's my partner with Sandy's, but he's never around, so now it's yours.
00:49:29My money is on Ryan declaring first.
00:49:32Well, if Imogen goes up against him, Stuart thinks most of the others will back her.
00:49:37All right, so let's start with the two of them then.
00:49:40And if anyone else joins the race, I'll go digging.
00:49:43Cool?
00:49:43Yeah, five days.
00:49:46Better get around with that.
00:49:51It's going to be a long night.
00:50:06He said to me, he said to me.
00:50:08He said to me, he said to me or not?
00:50:09No, he said to me, he said to me.
00:50:15How did he go to the bank?
00:50:17That is a d**k or something?
00:50:20I will...
00:50:22I will...
00:50:23This man is a d**k for you.
00:50:25She has paid for it.
00:50:39I'm sorry.
00:50:40I'm sorry.
00:50:42I'm sorry.
00:51:28I'm sorry.
00:51:39Come on, come on.
00:52:15Are you running in open Valetta?
00:52:19Malta's been put in their alert list last night.
00:52:22It came through at the embassy.
00:52:24What's the alert about?
00:52:25I don't know.
00:52:27Did you put an agent in the villa?
00:52:30I need to go through your tip-off about Igor's holidays in Valetta.
00:52:35Is there any chance it could be a plant?
00:52:39Is there why we're here?
00:52:40You think I set you up?
00:52:44Your boss is there.
00:52:47The intel from my op was seismic, much bigger than we expected,
00:52:50and the chief's now worried about blowback.
00:52:52What did you find out?
00:52:55Could you have been set up?
00:52:57Could anyone know we've got ears in the villa?
00:52:59Not for me.
00:53:04Kate, you're going to have to trust my judgment in this.
00:53:07Unless you think I'd lie to you.
00:53:09Of course I don't.
00:53:12Try to find out what you can about the red flag on Walter.
00:53:15It's important.
00:53:16Okay.
00:53:18I'll be in touch in the usual way.
00:53:32Good morning.
00:53:34When did you last hear from Echo?
00:53:36Last night.
00:53:37A message saying she hadn't managed to change the battery in the mic.
00:53:39It's possible Moscow knows we're watching Igor.
00:53:42Fuck.
00:53:43How?
00:53:43I don't know yet.
00:53:44But they've just put Malta on the alert list.
00:53:46There was a big police bust on Gozo last night.
00:53:48It was on the news.
00:53:49Could be over that.
00:53:50What happened?
00:53:51Some fintech company breaching Russian sanctions.
00:53:54Enough to get Moscow's back up.
00:53:56You know how they like to think of this island as theirs.
00:53:58Maybe.
00:53:59But first we need to make sure Echo's safe.
00:54:02How close can you get to the villa?
00:54:03Not that close.
00:54:05But there's a view from the top of the cliff.
00:54:07Go there.
00:54:08I'll speak to Rose about this Gozo bust thing.
00:54:10Don't send Echo any more messages until we've had eyes on her.
00:54:14Yeah.
00:54:14Okay.
00:54:16I know even talking about immigration offends your metropolitan sensibility.
00:54:21I'd appreciate it if you didn't make an assumption like that.
00:54:24But my point is, it's not a left or a right issue.
00:54:27I'm a passionate believer in our multicultural society.
00:54:32But it's got to be protected.
00:54:34Protected from what?
00:54:35Protected from being swamped by uncontrolled, poorly managed, illegal migrations.
00:54:39Only last week the Home Secretary said we need migrants to do the jobs that other people
00:54:44don't want to do.
00:54:44Yeah.
00:54:45Well, even so, we've been letting in hundreds of thousands of people a year for more than
00:54:48a decade without building the homes, the hospitals or anything else we need to accommodate them.
00:54:52And does that strike you two as sane?
00:54:55It's going to be hard to keep the economy moving with zero immigration and a higher rate
00:55:00tax of 70%, which is what you're proposing.
00:55:02Yeah, on salaries of a quarter of a million pounds.
00:55:07So obviously it'd be a great shame to lose you both.
00:55:09Sinn Féin this morning are calling for a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should
00:55:14leave the United Kingdom.
00:55:16If you become Prime Minister, would you agree to that demand?
00:55:21Well, perhaps it's time we ask the English.
00:55:26They pay for the Union, after all.
00:55:29The UK, in or out.
00:55:31Foreign Secretary, is that really how you are launching your campaign?
00:55:35By playing the dog whistle of English nationalism?
00:55:40What the hell was all that about?
00:55:42The right-wing press are going to lose their shit.
00:55:44Good.
00:55:45Just shaking things up.
00:55:46Step away from the middle, maybe catch a wave.
00:55:48Or you drown, Brian.
00:55:49We've only got four days.
00:55:50You want to start a campaign with a bang?
00:55:51Well, this was it.
00:55:52The bang was supposed to be a tough case on pulling back on immigration, not throwing
00:55:55petrol on a nationalist bonfire.
00:55:56An election race, Melissa.
00:55:58I have to offer change.
00:55:59Well, our MPs are going to hate it.
00:56:00Yeah, some will, but the party rank and file will agree with me.
00:56:02More than they'd want to add me.
00:56:05I get it.
00:56:06Of course I do.
00:56:06But the next time you are going to disappear all night, if you could just send me a text,
00:56:10that would be great.
00:56:11Sorry, something came up.
00:56:13Well, I hope it was worse here.
00:56:15Absolute chaos here.
00:56:17I don't know if you saw that lunatic on GMB this morning, talking about a referendum for
00:56:21the English to leave the UK.
00:56:24It's just a populist playbook.
00:56:25He can't read it, can he?
00:56:27Well, who knows?
00:56:29Melissa's put a rocket up Imogen's arse.
00:56:31Now he's declared.
00:56:32She's still on the fence.
00:56:33Do you think anyone else will run?
00:56:35No, not if she stops dragging her bloody heels, no.
00:56:38Oh, babe, before I forget, you know that conference in Montenegro when you didn't want
00:56:43to go to?
00:56:44That was a tourist industry junket thing, wasn't it?
00:56:47Yeah, for hotels.
00:56:48Yeah, we were pitching for investment.
00:56:50Why?
00:56:51Do you remember who set it up?
00:56:53It's just the foreign office so on my back about reviewing minister's security abroad.
00:56:58I can need the extra bloody admin.
00:57:00Yes, I do remember who set it up.
00:57:01It was the master of slime himself, Lev Ametov.
00:57:05He invited us and random backbenchers.
00:57:10I mean, me and Josh told Imogen she shouldn't bother, but she was adamant for some reason.
00:57:13Did you get the investment?
00:57:14No, of course we didn't.
00:57:16Anything I got was that food poisoning.
00:57:17Do you remember the food poisoning I got?
00:57:19Oh, yeah.
00:57:20Famous squid.
00:57:21Famous squid, yes.
00:57:22Disgusting.
00:57:22Please.
00:57:23Gotta go.
00:57:24Oh, listen, don't forget, tonight is Fiona's parent-teacher thing.
00:57:27We are under strict instructions to not wear anything embarrassing, okay?
00:57:31As far as she's concerned, that's impossible.
00:57:34Love you.
00:57:35All right.
00:57:35Love you too.
00:57:40I spoke to GCHQ and Langley.
00:57:42They haven't heard any chatter coming out of Malta other than the Gozo bus, so it probably
00:57:47is the reason Moscow flagged it.
00:57:49Probably isn't enough.
00:57:51We'll regroup as soon as Julie's got a closer look at Echo.
00:57:54What's the news on her brother?
00:57:56We've moved him to a hospital in St. Petersburg.
00:57:58As soon as you pull her out, we'll have him on his way to the border.
00:58:33That's a nice brochure.
00:58:36Look at the date.
00:58:39Look at who was there.
00:58:41It was two weeks before Lev made his first donation to Harry Comrade's charity.
00:58:45Well, that's not a very subtle quid pro quo, is it?
00:58:48Exactly.
00:58:49So why not declare it?
00:58:51Stop the press from finding out she's got ties to an oligarch.
00:58:54It's not a very good look for the Home Office.
00:58:57So, you're going to ask her about it?
00:58:58I think I'll start with Angela White.
00:59:03It's Julie.
00:59:04What's the news?
00:59:06I can't see her.
00:59:08I've only got a limited fee on the terrace,
00:59:09but Matty is giving Sandra his breakfast.
00:59:13Stay where you are,
00:59:14and call me the second you see anything different.
00:59:29Well, if it is what you're saying, it'll be a game changer, couldn't it?
00:59:32No, I think we should wait.
00:59:34Timing's not right at the moment, but...
00:59:36Okay, okay, yeah, thanks.
00:59:37Okay, I'll call you then.
00:59:41Hi.
00:59:42A video involving a certain female politician has just been brought to my attention.
00:59:46Okay, what kind of video?
00:59:48We'll just have to use our imaginations.
00:59:50What, a sex video of Imogen Conrad?
00:59:53Sounds implausible, but I have it on good authority.
00:59:56Well, how do you know it's going to leak?
00:59:57I don't, I've just been tipped off on it, not it.
00:59:59By who?
01:00:00A journalist, I don't know.
01:00:01It doesn't matter who, does it?
01:00:03We just need a strategy in case it does.
01:00:05Of course, I sincerely hope it doesn't.
01:00:06It has nothing to do with us, will it, Ryan?
01:00:16You wanted to see me.
01:00:18Mrs White, I'm not sure if you remember me.
01:00:21Of course I do.
01:00:22You gave no quarter to the committee,
01:00:23which strikes me as a good quality in your line of work.
01:00:25Let me sign you in.
01:00:27I think it's better if we take a walk.
01:00:29Is that okay?
01:00:32I was at the Montenegro conference because Lev asked me to be,
01:00:34and I made no secret of that.
01:00:36Save you the trouble, here's a donor to my local party.
01:00:39It seemed like a reasonable ask.
01:00:41Did the Home Secretary discuss her goals for the trip?
01:00:43I barely saw her.
01:00:44I assumed she was there as a favour to Lev, like me,
01:00:46but she didn't seem to be taking any of it very seriously.
01:00:49What do you mean by that?
01:00:51She wasn't at any of the talks.
01:00:52She seemed, let's put it this way,
01:00:54otherwise occupied.
01:00:57With what?
01:00:58She spent an awful lot of time horsing around with her aid.
01:01:02There were two of them, I think.
01:01:03One of them was laid up with a tummy bug.
01:01:05It was the other one, John.
01:01:07Josh.
01:01:07Josh, you were long?
01:01:08Good-looking chap.
01:01:10Maybe there was nothing going on.
01:01:11But I can't say that I've ever entirely trusted her.
01:01:15Look, you're putting words in my mouth.
01:01:17I didn't say I was ruling her out,
01:01:18but that doesn't mean that you can rule her in.
01:01:22Of course she isn't behind Ryan Walker's referendum bollocks.
01:01:25No, it's X.
01:01:26Come on.
01:01:27The only thing that X is a guide to
01:01:28is Elon Musk's artificially inflated testosterone.
01:01:31See ya.
01:01:32Can I have that for my manifesto?
01:01:34We can't hold out for much longer.
01:01:35We need to get out there ahead of Ryan.
01:01:37Okay?
01:01:39I need more coffee.
01:01:41What do you think I should do, Lev?
01:01:43I always said Ryan's smarter than he looks.
01:01:46It's a wrecking ball.
01:01:48He hasn't even started on us yet.
01:01:51Then you need to stop him.
01:01:54Simon.
01:01:55Hello.
01:01:58Is the Foreign Secretary taking mind-altering drugs?
01:02:00Yes, sadly, he is a full-blown crack addict now.
01:02:03Simon.
01:02:10Melissa.
01:02:11It's Kate.
01:02:12You used to work with my husband, Stuart, the Guardian,
01:02:14who met at the Christmas party.
01:02:16Oh, you're the civil servant.
01:02:18Home office, or was it with MOT?
01:02:20I actually work for SIS.
01:02:22We're investigating an issue
01:02:24with the Foreign Secretary's security.
01:02:26What was that?
01:02:27Yesterday.
01:02:28We were running a routine off in Lisbon
01:02:30and we noticed he left the summit venue
01:02:32without his protection officers.
01:02:33I wasn't aware.
01:02:34No?
01:02:35So there's no cause for concern
01:02:37over his security detail?
01:02:39Not so far as I know, no.
01:02:41He went to meet Lev Amatov, is that right?
01:02:44A reception at a private villa.
01:02:46Oddly enough, we can't seem to find a record
01:02:48of the event in the official schedule.
01:02:50Well, Lev's a personal friend of the Foreign Secretary.
01:02:52That's no secret.
01:02:53What about the fact that Dimitri Krimzov was there too?
01:02:58That's a massive allegation.
01:03:02You'll have to speak to the Foreign Secretary about it.
01:03:04I'm sure he'd be keen to avoid a diplomatic scandal,
01:03:07given the fact he's just announced his leadership bid.
01:03:10And what do you expect me to do about it?
01:03:12Talk to me, Melissa.
01:03:15Does Ryan often go AWOL?
01:03:16Does he shut you out of things?
01:03:19He might be running the country soon.
01:03:22Could you do what I'd say to come to me?
01:03:24Of course not.
01:03:25This is between us.
01:03:28You've got to go.
01:03:29If you want to talk more.
01:03:33In confidence, of course.
01:04:06I have eyes on her.
01:04:07She's playing cards with Sandra
01:04:08and she just sent her text saying she's fine.
01:04:10It all looks normal.
01:04:11I told you not to send her any more messages.
01:04:13I didn't.
01:04:14Then why is she answering a question you didn't ask?
01:04:18Can you send me the pictures?
01:04:19I'll run back now and take a look at them.
01:04:21On it now.
01:04:23Bill.
01:04:24Stuart.
01:04:27You all right?
01:04:29Did you tell your wife who you forgot to mention works for SIS?
01:04:32What we discussed in Manchester in confidence.
01:04:33No, I may have mentioned something to her about you being unhappy.
01:04:36Okay, what happens at conference days at conference in at the Golden Rule, mate?
01:04:39Nothing that anyone couldn't have guessed, is it?
01:04:41Huh?
01:04:41I'm sorry, though.
01:04:43Really, I am.
01:04:44So what, did Kate say something to you?
01:04:46I don't want things to turn dirty, Stuart.
01:04:49That's not why I got into politics.
01:04:51Then why are you working for Ryan Walker, then?
01:04:54Huh?
01:04:56Does that make sense?
01:04:58It's got no business being anywhere near Downing Street, and you know that, and I know that
01:05:02you know.
01:05:02Listen to me.
01:05:03Listen.
01:05:04There is always room for someone like you in our office.
01:05:08I know that to be true.
01:05:10I know that Imogen would snap you up.
01:05:12I know it.
01:05:15Just think about it.
01:05:18Just never think.
01:05:28Stop.
01:05:28Go back one.
01:05:30You see that on the edge of the frame?
01:05:32They're playing cards.
01:05:33Why would they need security?
01:05:40I just got another text.
01:05:42She's requesting a meet.
01:05:45I hope your mom is okay.
01:05:46We'd be good to see her soon.
01:05:48We can see a security guard in one of your shots.
01:05:51So?
01:05:52I think she's been blown.
01:05:53She's answering questions we didn't ask her.
01:05:55She's being chaperoned.
01:05:56And now all of a sudden she wants a meet.
01:06:01Okay.
01:06:03What next?
01:06:05I'll talk to Zach.
01:06:07But I think I'm going to have to go back.
01:06:14You think I have a meet request as a set-up?
01:06:16I don't know, but something feels off.
01:06:19And now we know Malta's on the alert list as of last night.
01:06:22Can you authorize a team to extract her?
01:06:28It's too risky, Kate.
01:06:31Best case we'd get you there in two days.
01:06:33But we need the Foreign Secretary to sign off putting weapons through the diplomatic bank.
01:06:37I don't have two days.
01:06:39I'd have to go unarmed.
01:06:42I can't advise that.
01:06:43As your SO.
01:06:45Eagle Security will be armed to the teeth and there might be more on the way.
01:06:49I'm sorry, but the answer's no.
01:06:54We've got no idea how it's going to go down out there, which is exactly what Moscow always wants.
01:07:00We're just going to have to hope you're wrong and Echo hasn't been blown.
01:07:16I'm not leaving her there.
01:07:18He made the right call.
01:07:19There are too many on loans.
01:07:21I made a promise to her.
01:07:22And Alexei.
01:07:23I know how much your agents matter to you.
01:07:25It's why you've got this job.
01:07:27But you have to know when an op goes beyond your control.
01:07:29I'm not leaving her there, Rose.
01:07:32I suppose that's right.
01:07:33You walk into a trap.
01:07:34I can handle it.
01:07:36Surely your priority has to be...
01:07:40...has to be protecting the Russia desk.
01:07:43If any of you were compromised out there, it would take weeks to get a new team up to speed.
01:07:48By which time Moscow's asset would be in Downing Street.
01:07:51But it's a chance I'll have to take.
01:07:55You take a break.
01:07:57Okay?
01:07:58Go home.
01:08:00See your kids.
01:08:01Shit, Fiona.
01:08:15Well, she is here.
01:08:16Told you she'd be here.
01:08:18Nice of you to show up.
01:08:19Sorry I'm late, darling.
01:08:21What have I missed?
01:08:22That's the same old story.
01:08:23She's got a fantastic brain when she's focused.
01:08:26But she is too easily distracted.
01:08:28Wow.
01:08:29Okay.
01:08:30That's Imogen.
01:08:31She's in.
01:08:32Okay.
01:08:32Right, so I'm going to shoot off.
01:08:34So we have done everything apart from history and politics.
01:08:37And this is the cue for the A-level choices.
01:08:38Stu, I'm going to have to work late tonight as well.
01:08:39Love you, darling.
01:08:40Bye-bye.
01:08:44Next.
01:08:46Mum.
01:08:47Sorry.
01:08:48Oh, my name is.
01:08:49Hello.
01:08:49Nice to meet you.
01:08:52Do I have 8,000 pounds?
01:08:548,000, thank you.
01:08:558,50.
01:08:569,000.
01:08:579,000.
01:08:5810,000.
01:08:59So I have 10,000 pounds for this gorgeous Matisse lithograph.
01:09:04Do I have...
01:09:0511,000, thank you, sir.
01:09:0712,000.
01:09:08Do I have 13,000?
01:09:1014,000?
01:09:12Should we round it up, Mr. Amitol?
01:09:1415,000 for such a great cause.
01:09:2115,000 pounds for 15,000 pounds for the kind gentleman here.
01:09:26I'm so sorry, James.
01:09:27He's been held up.
01:09:29Can we push it back for 20 minutes, please?
01:09:32Well, right now, he's the only candidate, so of course he's going to win.
01:09:35I don't know if sympathy for Imogen Melissa thinks it will play as an act of toxic masculinity.
01:09:40Melissa's a millennial Puritan.
01:09:41Trust me, anyone with ovies will just be bitching about Imogen's figure.
01:09:45Yeah, either way, it'll force her to pull out, if she's got an abortion to stand against you.
01:09:48Yeah, but still, it's a hefty price for her to have to pay.
01:09:50I don't know how bad this tape actually is.
01:09:51If you want to win, you've got to play everything in your hand.
01:09:54Half measures aren't going to get you anyway.
01:09:55So sorry to interrupt.
01:09:56I'll have to drag him away for the Times interview.
01:09:58You can do it in the car.
01:09:59Oh, okay.
01:10:00All right, I'll see you later.
01:10:02You have to.
01:10:03How are you?
01:10:12What?
01:10:13What?
01:10:14Please tell me the tip-off about the tape didn't happen at the Lisbon party.
01:10:17No, of course not.
01:10:19Does it exist?
01:10:21Was it filmed by the Russians?
01:10:23Yes, it exists.
01:10:24I've told you, I've got no idea if filmed the bloody thing or who's in it with her.
01:10:27Okay, if it's real and there's any hint that you were behind the leak, you know that it would sink
01:10:31us.
01:10:31I sink her first, surely.
01:10:32Not necessarily.
01:10:33A personal smear like this could make a heroine of her, especially if the Kremlin are behind it.
01:10:37There's no evidence of that.
01:10:38Doesn't matter.
01:10:39The right-wing press will have a field day.
01:10:41They'll say you're like one of Moscow's fellow travellers, like the old left.
01:10:44Was Lev Amatov at the Lisbon party?
01:10:48He's Amanda's friend, not mine.
01:10:50He's also got a Russian passport, family ties to Putin.
01:10:53Yes, but he's also a British citizen who earned his money here fair and square.
01:10:56Do you know, we're happy enough to use his money to pop up public spending.
01:10:59He just dropped 50 grand in there on student scholarships.
01:11:02Is there anyone else out there that you know about?
01:11:05You are making a mountain out of a molehill with this.
01:11:08Okay, you took a huge risk.
01:11:10I'm sure people already know that you went off without your PPO.
01:11:12I want people!
01:11:12There were 50 of you minutes of staying at the same hotel, Ryan.
01:11:15Look, can we just leave the cross question to the journalists, please?
01:11:18I've really got to take this.
01:11:21John, hi, sorry, I'm up to my ears.
01:11:24Now?
01:11:25You're landing on something now?
01:11:27I'm a public figure, in case you haven't noticed.
01:11:29Jeez.
01:11:31John, John, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, construction was meant to be your expertise.
01:11:37Offering finance was mine.
01:11:38Do not get in this car until I tell you.
01:11:41My law goes under now.
01:11:42I am seriously...
01:11:44Listen to me, John.
01:11:45You get fired from here and keep your fucking mouth shut.
01:11:56You can smoke all you like.
01:11:57You're not spending the weekend at Jay's.
01:11:59Not after what your teachers said tonight.
01:12:01Why could I see my boyfriend when I'm not at school?
01:12:03If you make a mistake, Fiona...
01:12:05I'm not stupid.
01:12:06You've known this guy for five minutes.
01:12:09Have this conversation with Dad, see what he says.
01:12:12Dad's not the power of workaholic.
01:12:14I know I've been away a lot recently.
01:12:16Think you like getting away from us?
01:12:19It's bad timing, but I have to go away again tomorrow.
01:12:23Oh, for God's sake.
01:12:24I'll get the boss home.
01:12:26I'm sorry.
01:12:28I'm sorry.
01:12:28I'm sorry.
01:12:29I'm sorry.
01:12:36I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:12:39If you're spending everything a million quid out of my house like a fence,
01:12:42you've got another fucking thing coming.
01:12:43I'm sorry.
01:12:44Robert Peston?
01:12:46Are you alone?
01:12:47Yeah, I am.
01:12:50Oh, well, this is strictly off the record.
01:12:55Here he is.
01:12:56Monsieur Laurent Sauvert.
01:12:58He's a Swiss national.
01:12:59I was able to track him from Krimsov's Lisbon Villa back to his hotel.
01:13:03Who is he?
01:13:04I have no idea yet, but man doesn't show up on our radar, or anywhere else for that matter.
01:13:09Well, that tells us something.
01:13:10Mm-hmm.
01:13:14So, um, do you have any more thoughts about Malta?
01:13:18A few.
01:13:19Yeah?
01:13:21We deliberately made the approach to the church long, so even if this meet is a set-up,
01:13:26the Russians won't want her to deviate from our plan, which will stretch them.
01:13:30And that's my chance.
01:13:32What, you intercept her en route?
01:13:34I've got some ideas about that, too.
01:13:37Oh, fuck.
01:13:38Uh, yeah, I'm going to need a drink.
01:13:42I think this is still good.
01:13:46Yeah.
01:13:47Do you want one?
01:13:48No, thanks.
01:13:49Oh, are you going to tell Julie that you're thinking of going rogue?
01:13:55There's every chance they'll fire me, Rav.
01:13:57I can't do that to either of you.
01:13:58And forget about the suit.
01:14:01Like, you can't do this on your own.
01:14:06You should go and make friends with your bed.
01:14:08Get some rest and then decide whether you want to throw your entire career away.
01:14:13If you stop drinking that shit now...
01:14:16I'll let you know in the morning, yeah?
01:14:26Our understanding is that with four days to go, the Home Secretary, Imogen Conrad,
01:14:31will join the leadership contest tonight.
01:14:34We're expecting her announcement within the next...
01:14:36Are you ready?
01:14:36Who's out there?
01:14:37Everyone.
01:14:38Hurry.
01:14:42You've got this, Imogen.
01:14:47Wish me luck.
01:14:51Good luck.
01:14:59It is my great and timely pleasure to announce my campaign to be the next leader of our party
01:15:06and of our great country.
01:15:22To join the waiting press corps.
01:15:24And we need to cut away from that now for some pretty sensational news about the other leadership
01:15:30candidate.
01:15:30In the last few minutes, our political editor, Robert Peston, has broken a bombshell of a
01:15:35story, to put it mildly, concerning the foreign secretary, Ryan Walker.
01:15:39The allegation that Mr. Walker slipped away from his personal protection team at the NATO summit
01:15:46in Lisbon this week and went to a party with the Russian foreign minister, Dmitry Krimsov, hosted by
01:15:52a frequent donor to numerous British political parties, Lev Hamatov.
01:15:58This is an absolutely extraordinary story.
01:16:00Our foreign secretary, Ryan Walker, having a private meeting with his Russian...
01:16:04Okay, we've got an hour to calm the storm or this race is over.
01:16:06Yeah, I think you should stay quiet.
01:16:08No, no, no, you shouldn't stay quiet.
01:16:09They'll crucify you.
01:16:09We just said it was some freelance diplomacy.
01:16:12Pre-Ukraine, that might have worked, but now...
01:16:14Well, have you got any better ideas?
01:16:15I'm just saying, in this current climate, it looks shady as hell.
01:16:17Yeah, well, maybe I had no choice but to go to that fucking party.
01:16:20Yeah, well, I hope you hang whoever leaked it.
01:16:21Oh, don't worry.
01:16:22I'm on it.
01:16:23Okay.
01:16:24News at 10 are asking for you.
01:16:26If you come clean now, perhaps we can salvage this.
01:16:28Okay, well, just call Bloody Peston and tell them to get here immediately.
01:16:30Too late.
01:16:31We won't make the end of the show.
01:16:32We'll then tell them to extend it.
01:16:36Okay.
01:16:42Well, as we said, we've extended the program tonight after we were told the Foreign Secretary
01:16:47wanted to give us some context for our explosive revelations earlier,
01:16:51and I'm pleased to say Robert is with him right now.
01:16:54Robert.
01:16:54Thanks, Tom.
01:16:55Foreign Secretary, you had a private meeting at a Lisbon party,
01:17:01of all things, with the Foreign Minister of Russia, a hostile state.
01:17:06You were not accompanied by any officials.
01:17:08There are no notes of the meeting.
01:17:10There was a clear breach of protocol.
01:17:12National security has been put at risk.
01:17:15Your colleagues say to me that you should resign and give up all ambitions to be leader of their party.
01:17:21I won't be resigning any time soon, Robert.
01:17:23Why on earth not?
01:17:25In the business of diplomacy, it's sometimes worth taking a risk, even a personal one.
01:17:29What on earth were you thinking of?
01:17:31Look, it was a social gathering, right, hosted by a very well-known British party donor where Dmitry Krimsov was
01:17:37again.
01:17:37Did you expect Krimsov to be there?
01:17:40I did expect Krimsov to be there.
01:17:42So why didn't you take your officials?
01:17:43Well, it's not a widely publicised fact that Dmitry Krimsov lost his only son last year.
01:17:48And it's fairly well known that my wife and I, sorry.
01:18:03We lost our only child, also a boy, three years ago.
01:18:15Sorry.
01:18:16And I wanted to express my private sympathies to him in the hope that we might find some common ground,
01:18:24man to man, if I'm allowed to say that these days.
01:18:27I imagine I speak for everybody watching that, you know, obviously I feel for you enormous compassion given the tragedy
01:18:36that you suffered.
01:18:38But what do you think you actually achieved?
01:18:41How many people do you know would be bold enough to walk in that door and sit down with Dmitry
01:18:44Krimsov?
01:18:45How many people do you know would try to better that diplomatic relationship between Europe and Russia?
01:18:50I'd like you to name someone in the Cabinet that you would have that confidence in.
01:18:54Thank you, Robert. Robert Peston there with the Foreign Secretary.
01:18:57And that was quite some interview. This leadership race is certainly hotting up.
01:19:02Let's move on to some of the day's other news now.
01:19:04And having promised repeatedly that...
01:19:19Kate.
01:19:23Sorry to have summoned you so late, Mrs. Henderson. I've been on national television fighting for my political life.
01:19:28I saw. I'm sorry.
01:19:31So you won't mind if I ask you a few simple questions?
01:19:35Of course.
01:19:36Did you know about my meeting with Dmitry Krimsov?
01:19:39Yes.
01:19:39How?
01:19:41Some basic detective work.
01:19:44I'm the Foreign Focking Secretary. Your boss. I don't need any covert surveillance.
01:19:50I understand Kate had concerns about your personal security.
01:19:56Did you leave my meeting to the press?
01:19:58No.
01:19:59You sure about that?
01:20:00Absolutely.
01:20:01Do you think I don't know who your husband works for?
01:20:03If you have a problem with my husband, I suggest you take it up with him, Foreign Secretary, or Imogen
01:20:08herself.
01:20:11But you'll admit, you don't like my politics, do you?
01:20:13I'm a civil servant. Your politics are none of my business.
01:20:18Is there anything else you'd like to tell us, Kate?
01:20:23No. Unless Mr. Walker would.
01:20:27Do you think I would take the trouble to come here if I'd done anything underhand?
01:20:31It's not my job to say, sir.
01:20:33My job is to help keep you safe.
01:20:36If we fail to do that here at SIS, then I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it
01:20:41is deeply regrettable.
01:20:45Well, if you have no more questions, Foreign Secretary.
01:20:52Take this as an official warning.
01:20:56Do not meddle with the democratic process.
01:21:09Do not meddle with the democratic process.
01:21:17Hiya.
01:21:18Hi.
01:21:19Did you see it? What a fucking night.
01:21:22Front row seat.
01:21:23I mean, Meg's already asked for his resignation. He's cooked. He's done.
01:21:26Well, I think it's going to take more than this to kill him off.
01:21:28I mean, maybe, but it now means that Imogen is officially in the fucking race.
01:21:34Can I ask you something?
01:21:36Yeah?
01:21:37Do you think Imogen's ever been unfaithful?
01:21:40Well, to Harry?
01:21:42I mean, no, not that I know of why.
01:21:47Forget it.
01:21:49Katie, if you've heard something about that I could really do with knowing, you know, especially given she's now declared.
01:21:54No, forget about it. I just wanted your opinion.
01:21:56Alright.
01:21:58You okay? You had a rough night?
01:22:00I've had better.
01:22:01Yeah.
01:22:04Anything you can talk about, or...?
01:22:09I was accused of passing intel about the Krimzoff meeting to you.
01:22:13To me?
01:22:15Well, who's accused you? Zach?
01:22:18Man of the moment.
01:22:20Ryan Walker.
01:22:21I mean, honestly, do they think we'd be that fucking stupid?
01:22:24Apparently so.
01:22:29Did you know, though?
01:22:32About Ryan meeting Krimzoff? I mean, is that what that trip was about?
01:22:34I can't talk about it.
01:22:35You can't talk about it, but given the fact that you are investigating...
01:22:37We're not. And that's it, Stuart. I can't talk about it.
01:22:40Alright.
01:22:42Sorry.
01:22:47Wow.
01:22:49Bloody hell.
01:22:50Well, we better win then, eh?
01:22:52I'm a civil servant. I can't comment.
01:22:54Yes.
01:22:55Your neutrality is noted as ever.
01:22:57I'm not joking, Stuart.
01:22:58I'm not joking.
01:23:04I'm really sorry, but I have to go away again tomorrow.
01:23:07I'll be gone before you're up, though.
01:23:10Okay.
01:23:11What? Oh.
01:23:13Is it something serious, or...?
01:23:16It's a potentially hostile environment.
01:23:20No.
01:23:21No.
01:23:33No.
01:23:35Oh.
01:23:47Everything is in place.
01:23:50Now you're going to find out what Anderson knows.
01:23:56Malta is not the best place to die.
01:23:59Only stupid.
01:24:03Confirm the meeting in the church this morning.
01:24:08Now.
