TVTranscript
00:00You're running an op against the chief of Russian intelligence while he's on holiday,
00:04which they would consider highly provocative.
00:07To justify an op like this, Igor would have to be trading top-grade insights with his son.
00:12Who's your agent in there, anyway?
00:14She's Mikhail Waradin's Russian nanny.
00:16200 hours of battery life.
00:19Your cigar, Igor Viktorovich.
00:22He's got nothing to be suspicious about.
00:25Good morning.
00:27Thank you, my friend.
00:29I think that's Kirill Markov.
00:30He's a ruthless bastard.
00:35He's a poor bastard in our cabinet with pancreatic cancer.
00:43Igor and Kirill Markov hook you in.
00:45We spend the next 10 years chasing a ghost.
00:49Or it's true, and we've just got wind of it.
00:51Emergency statement from the PM.
00:53Given my condition, I feel I owe it to you all to offer my resignation.
00:57I will remain in place until a new leader is chosen.
01:01If a minister running for leadership has been bribed or blackmailed, we'd be catastrophically exposed.
01:06Before I authorize an investigation into any leading politician, I'll need concrete evidence.
01:11The Mark battery's dead.
01:12Lena.
01:14Sweet dreams, huh?
01:16No, no, no.
01:17No, why?
01:17No, no, no.
02:10Что здесь происходит?
02:12Ты что, с ума сошел?
02:14Что ты делаешь?
02:21She's going to tell me all her secrets.
02:23Go back to your bed.
02:26I'm her boss now.
02:28Сказал, ушел!
03:07Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
03:42You wanted to see me?
03:47I'm assuming the original intel for this Maltese op came from Cyclops?
03:54Yes.
03:55He told me about Igor's annual trips to Valletta.
03:58So if that information was a plant, everything else is two.
04:02It wasn't.
04:03His explanation was entirely credible.
04:05So you're sure of the intelligence.
04:07What about him?
04:08It's all in the file.
04:09I've known him since I was a student in St. Petersburg.
04:12And 18 years later, he shows up in London working undercover at the Russian embassy, a senior Moscow intelligence officer,
04:20apparently looking to switch lanes.
04:22He was already disillusioned.
04:23Ukraine was the final straw.
04:25You obviously kept in touch.
04:27We stayed friends.
04:29Were you ever lovers?
04:31No.
04:32Did you want to be?
04:35Not relevant.
04:36Did he?
04:41Briefly, perhaps.
04:43But, um, I was already engaged to Stuart.
04:46So even if we'd wanted to...
04:48Ah, I see.
04:51So it's what he might have done but didn't that makes you so sure of his loyalty.
04:57A moment of weakness, perhaps?
05:00That he chose not to take advantage of?
05:05Isn't that worthy of trust?
05:07We can all lie to someone we love.
05:10I'm not had you done as an incurable romantic.
05:14This job rather beats that out of you, I'm afraid.
05:19You're one of our best agent runners, Kate, but a great desk head requires many qualities.
05:24Certainty isn't one of them.
05:25So you're backing Zach?
05:27You need to find out if your friend Cyclops has been playing you, inadvertently or not.
05:32Or you won't just be the youngest head of the Russia desk.
05:35You'll be the shortest serving, too.
05:39Will you run for the leadership, Foreign Secretary?
05:42Right now, my thoughts are just very much with Anthony and Jane.
05:45Foreign Secretary, you've got five days till the election.
05:48Don't be so coy.
05:49You need to get a move on, really.
05:51If you get a situation like this, it's very important to maintain our composure as a party.
05:56Hmm.
05:57What did C have to offer?
06:00Strategic ambiguity.
06:03His speciality.
06:04Meaning we have to prove that we were right or we're fucked.
06:07Oh.
06:08And Echo might be, too.
06:10I'm going to set up a meeting with Cyclops tomorrow morning at the London Safe House.
06:14Sure.
06:15You need to shut that down.
06:17Zach's in the building.
06:18Yeah, of course, but it's a shame we can't show them this.
06:22Come on.
06:23That's Mr. Ryan Walker leaving the NATO conference last night after the PM's announcement by the back door.
06:31No official car, no PPOs, and no special advisor, Melissa Morris.
06:37No, nothing.
06:37So I talked to our Portuguese friends, did a little triangulation.
06:40And this was the drop-off point.
06:43Little villa in the hills.
06:45Guess who owns it?
06:47Er, Putin's secret mistress?
06:50Close.
06:51Try Dmitry, Krimzov's brother-in-law.
06:54Are you serious?
06:55Oh, yeah.
06:56So Mr. Walker's response to the resignation of our Prime Minister is to go AWOL with the Russian Foreign Minister.
07:04Are you certain that Krimzov was at the villa?
07:08Well, he got there half an hour before Ryan.
07:13Now, there was another arrival in a taxi from the Lisbon Royale.
07:16I haven't ID'd him yet, but are you ready for the pièce de résistance?
07:22Yeah.
07:22The man in the murk is Lev Amatov, our cuddly British oligarch.
07:30So Ryan meets the Russian Foreign Minister off-grid in a...
07:34Oh, yeah.
07:36Off-grid.
07:37In a get-together brokered by a billionaire with historic ties to the Kremlin.
07:43I would call that politically suspect.
07:47Otherwise known as murky as fuck.
07:54Stuart had a night out with Melissa at the last party conference.
07:57He said she seemed disillusioned by working with Ryan.
08:00I should talk to her.
08:01Hmm.
08:02We need to talk more about this, but not here.
08:04Sure.
08:05Do you fancy a cuppa?
08:06Yeah.
08:12If this leaks, Ryan's finished.
08:15Why take the risk of going in person?
08:17And Arthur, you're going to refuse.
08:19Or maybe Ryan is the one with the arse.
08:23On which subject?
08:25Why would Imogen accept a 200 grand donation from a man like Lev Amatov?
08:30Oh, on paper, you could argue that he's legit, right?
08:34I mean, Eaton, Cambridge.
08:36He's the chairman of Goldscope Media.
08:38Man's a tech tycoon.
08:39Plus, he's on the board of the British Museum and the Courtauld Institute, along with Ryan's wife.
08:45Um, Imogen went to this conference in Portanovi two years ago.
08:50Stuart went.
08:51Pretty sure he said that Lev Amatov was there.
08:55Well, there's plenty of dirty money in Montenegro, you know.
08:58It's a shame we can't investigate.
09:01Assuming we follow our orders.
09:05If Zach finds out we're working off to birds...
09:08No, he won't, okay?
09:09Not if we get out of his eye line.
09:12Look, as long as you're working on his debrief, he's not going to give two shits where I am.
09:18Anywhere in mind?
09:21Yeah, come on.
09:24It's just round here.
09:29You live so close.
09:30Yeah, well, it means I can wake up whenever I want to.
09:34Yeah, come on.
09:37Come on.
09:43Well, it's close to HQ and it's off Zach's radar, so I'll take it.
09:48Right.
09:48Here's a spare key.
09:50It's my partner with Sandy's, but he's never around, so now it's yours.
09:56My money is on Ryan declaring first.
09:59Well, if Imogen goes up against him, Stuart thinks most of the others will back her.
10:04All right, so let's start with the two of them then.
10:07And if anyone else joins the race, I'll go digging.
10:10Cool?
10:11Yeah.
10:12Five days.
10:14Better get around with it.
10:19It's going to be a long night.
10:33It's going to be a long night.
10:37I'll get out.
10:42I'll go, I'll get you.
10:44It's going to be a long night.
10:46Well the name's for the gente.
10:46That's why you have to be a big man.
10:54What?
10:59Oh, my God.
11:33Oh, my God.
12:09Oh, my God.
12:29Oh, my God.
12:39Oh, my God.
13:12Oh, my God.
13:16You think I set you up?
13:21Yeah, bosses do.
13:23The intel from my op was seismic, much bigger than we expected, and the Chief's now worried about blowback.
13:29What did you find out?
13:32Could you have been set up?
13:33Could anyone know we've got ears in the villa?
13:36Not for me.
13:41Kate, you're going to have to trust my judgment in this.
13:45Unless you think I lied to you.
13:46Of course I don't.
13:50Try to find out what you can about the red flag on Walter.
13:53It's important.
13:54Okay.
13:56I'll be in touch in the usual way.
14:10Good morning.
14:12Morning.
14:13When did you last hear from Echo?
14:15Last night.
14:15A message saying she hadn't managed to change the battery in the mic.
14:18It's possible Moscow knows we're watching Igor.
14:21Fuck.
14:22How?
14:23I don't know yet.
14:24But they've just put Malta on the alert list.
14:26There was a big police bust on Gozo last night.
14:28It was on the news.
14:29Could be over that.
14:29What happened?
14:31Some fintech company breaching Russian sanctions.
14:34Enough to get Moscow's backup.
14:36You know how they like to think of this island as theirs.
14:38Maybe.
14:39But first we need to make sure Echo's safe.
14:42How close can you get to the villa?
14:44Not that close.
14:45But there's a view from the top of the cliff.
14:47Go there.
14:48I'll speak to Rose about this Gozo bust thing.
14:51Don't send Echo any more messages until we've had eyes on her.
14:55Yeah.
14:55Okay.
14:57I know, even talking.
14:59About immigration offends your metropolitan sensibility.
15:02I'd appreciate it if you didn't make an assumption like that.
15:05But my point is, it's not a left or a right issue.
15:08I'm a passionate believer in our multicultural society.
15:14But it's got to be protected.
15:16Protected from what?
15:17From being swamped.
15:18By uncontrolled, poorly managed, illegal migration.
15:21Only last week the Home Secretary said we need migrants to do the jobs
15:25that other people don't want to do.
15:27Yeah, well, even so, we've been letting in hundreds of thousands of people a year
15:30for more than a decade without building the homes, the hospitals,
15:33or anything else we need to accommodate them.
15:35And does that strike you two as sane?
15:37It's going to be hard to keep the economy moving with zero immigration
15:41and a higher rate tax of 70%, which is what you're proposing.
15:46Yeah, on salaries of a quarter of a million pounds.
15:50So, obviously, it'd be a great shame to lose you both.
15:53Sinn Féin this morning are calling for a referendum
15:56on whether Northern Ireland should leave the United Kingdom.
16:00If you become Prime Minister, would you agree to that demand?
16:05Well, perhaps it's time we ask the English.
16:10They pay for the Union, after all.
16:13The UK, in or out.
16:16Foreign Secretary, is that really how you are launching your campaign?
16:20By playing the dog whistle of English nationalism?
16:26What the hell was all that about?
16:28The right-wing press are going to lose their shit.
16:29Good. Just shaking things up.
16:32Step away from the middle, maybe catch a wave.
16:33Or you drown, brain.
16:34We've only got four days.
16:36You want to start our campaign with a bang? Well, this was it.
16:38The bang was supposed to be a tough case on pulling back on immigration,
16:40not throwing petrol on a nationalist bonfire.
16:42An election race, Melissa. I have to offer change.
16:45Well, our MPs are going to hate it.
16:46Yeah, some will, but the party rank and file will agree with me.
16:48More than they'd want to admit.
16:51I get it. Of course I do.
16:53But the next time you are going to disappear all night,
16:55if you could just send me a text, that would be great.
16:58Sorry, something came up.
17:00Well, I hope it was worse here.
17:02Absolute chaos here.
17:04I don't know if you saw that lunatic on GMB this morning,
17:06talking about a referendum for the English to leave the UK.
17:11It's just the populist playbook.
17:13He can't read it, can he?
17:14Well, who knows?
17:16They just put a rocket up Imogen's last.
17:18Now he's declared.
17:19I mean, she's still on the fence.
17:21Do you think anyone else will run?
17:23No, not if she stops dragging her bloody heels, no.
17:26Oh, babe, before I forget, you know that conference in Montenegro,
17:30one you didn't want to go to?
17:32That was a tourist industry junket thing, isn't it?
17:36Yeah, for hotels, yeah, we were pitching for investment.
17:39Why?
17:40Do you remember who set it up?
17:41It's just the foreign office so on my back about reviewing minister's security abroad.
17:47Like I need the extra bloody admin.
17:49Yes, I do remember who set it up.
17:51It was the master of slime himself, Lev Ametov.
17:54He invited us and sort of random backbenchers.
17:59I mean, me and Josh told Imogen she shouldn't bother, but she was adamant for some reason.
18:03Did you get the investment?
18:04No.
18:05Of course we didn't.
18:06Anything I got was that food poisoning.
18:07Do you remember the food poisoning I got?
18:09Oh, yeah.
18:10Famous squid.
18:11Famous squid, yes.
18:12Disgusting.
18:13Please.
18:14Gotta go.
18:15Oh, listen, don't forget, tonight is Fiona's parent-teacher thing.
18:17We are under strict instructions to not wear anything embarrassing, okay?
18:22As far as she's concerned, that's impossible.
18:24Love you.
18:26All right, love you too.
18:31I spoke to GCHQ and Langley.
18:33They haven't heard any chatter coming out of Malta other than the Gozo bust,
18:37so it probably is the reason Moscow flagged it.
18:41Probably isn't enough.
18:42We'll regroup as soon as Julie's got a closer look at Echo.
18:46What's the news on her brother?
18:47We've moved him to a hostel in St. Petersburg.
18:50As soon as you pull her out, we'll have him on his way to the border.
19:26That's a nice brochure.
19:30Look at the date.
19:33Look at who was there.
19:35It was two weeks before Lev made his first donation to Harry Conrad's charity.
19:40Well, that's not a very subtle quid pro quo, is it?
19:42Exactly.
19:44So why not declare it?
19:45To stop the press from finding out she's got ties to an oligarch.
19:49It's not a very good look for the Home Office.
19:52So, you're going to ask her about it?
19:54I think I'll start with Angela White.
19:58It's Julie.
20:00What's the news?
20:01I can't see her.
20:03I've only got a limited view on the terrace,
20:05but Matty is giving Sandra his breakfast.
20:09Stay where you are,
20:10and call me the second you see anything different.
20:25Well, if it is what you say, it'll be a game changer, couldn't it?
20:29No, I think we should wait.
20:31Timing's not right at the moment, but...
20:33Okay.
20:33Okay, yeah, thanks.
20:34Okay, I'll call you then.
20:38Hi.
20:39A video involving a certain female politician
20:42has just been brought to my attention.
20:43Okay, what kind of video?
20:46We'll just have to use our imaginations.
20:48What, a sex video of Imogen Conrad?
20:50It sounds implausible,
20:52but I have it on good authority.
20:54Well, how do you know it's going to leak?
20:55I don't.
20:56I've just been tipped off that it might.
20:57By who?
20:58A journalist.
20:59I don't know.
20:59It doesn't matter who, does it?
21:01We just need a strategy in case it does.
21:04Of course, I sincerely hope it doesn't.
21:05It'll have nothing to do with us, will it, Ryan?
21:07Yeah.
21:15You wanted to see me?
21:17Mrs White, I'm not sure if you remember me.
21:20Of course I do.
21:21You gave no quarter to the committee,
21:22which strikes me as a good quality in your line of work.
21:25Let me sign you in.
21:26I think it's better if we take a walk.
21:28Is that okay?
21:32I was at the Montenegro conference
21:33because Lev asked me to be,
21:34and I made no secret of that.
21:36To save you the trouble,
21:37he is a donor to my local party.
21:39It seemed like a reasonable ask.
21:41Did the Home Secretary discuss her goals for the trip?
21:44I barely saw her.
21:45I assumed she was there as a favour to Lev, like me,
21:47but she didn't seem to be taking any of it very seriously.
21:50What do you mean by that?
21:51She wasn't at any of the talks.
21:53She seemed, let's put it this way,
21:56otherwise occupied.
21:58With what?
21:59She spent an awful lot of time
22:01horsing around with her aid.
22:03There were two of them, I think.
22:05One of them was laid up with a tummy bug.
22:06It was the other one, John.
22:08Josh.
22:09Josh, you were long?
22:10Good-looking chap.
22:11Maybe there was nothing going on.
22:13But I can't say that I've ever entirely trusted her.
22:17Look, you're putting words in my mouth.
22:19I didn't say I was ruling her out,
22:20but that doesn't mean
22:22that you can rule her in.
22:24Of course she isn't behind Ryan Walker's referendum bollocks.
22:27No, it's X.
22:28Come on.
22:29The only thing that X is a guide to
22:31is Elon Musk's artificially inflated testosterone.
22:34See ya.
22:35Can I have that for my manifesto?
22:37We can't hold out for much longer.
22:38We need to get out there ahead of Ryan.
22:41Okay?
22:42I need more coffee.
22:45What do you think I should do, love?
22:47I always said Ryan's smarter than he looks.
22:50It's a wrecking ball.
22:51He hasn't even started on us yet.
22:54Then you need to stop him.
22:58Simon.
22:59Hello.
23:02Is the Foreign Secretary taking mind-altering drugs?
23:04Yes, sadly, he is a full-blown crack addict now.
23:08Simon.
23:15Melissa.
23:16It's Kate.
23:17You used to work with my husband, Stuart, the Guardian.
23:19We met at the Christmas party.
23:20Oh, you're the civil servant.
23:23Home office, or was it with MOT?
23:25I actually work for SIS.
23:27We're investigating an issue
23:29with the Foreign Secretary's security.
23:32What was that?
23:33Yesterday.
23:34We were running a routine off in Lisbon
23:36and we noticed he left the summit venue
23:37without his protection officers.
23:39I wasn't aware.
23:40No?
23:41So there's no cause for concern
23:43over his security detail?
23:45Not so far as I know, no.
23:47You went to meet Lev Amatov, is that right?
23:50A reception at a private villa.
23:53Oddly enough, we can't seem to find a record
23:54of the event and the official schedule.
23:56Well, Lev's a personal friend of the Foreign Secretary.
23:58That's no secret.
23:59What about the fact that Dmitry Krimzov was there too?
24:05That's a massive allegation.
24:09You'll have to speak to the Foreign Secretary about it.
24:11I'm sure he'd be keen to avoid a diplomatic scandal,
24:14given the fact he's just announced his leadership bid.
24:18What do you expect me to do about it?
24:20Talk to me, Melissa.
24:23Does Ryan often go AWOL?
24:24Does he shut you out of things?
24:27He might be running the country soon.
24:30Could Stuart die to come to me?
24:32Of course not.
24:34This is between us.
24:37I'll go.
24:38If you want to talk more...
24:42In confidence, of course.
25:16I have eyes on her.
25:17She's playing cards with Sondra
25:19and she just sent her pecs saying she's fine.
25:21It all looks normal.
25:22I told you not to send her any more messages.
25:24I didn't.
25:24Then why is she answering a question you didn't ask?
25:29Can you send me the pictures?
25:31I'll run back now and take a look at them.
25:33Got it now.
25:35Bill.
25:36Stuart.
25:37You all right?
25:40Did you tell your wife who you forgot to mention works for SIS?
25:43What we discussed in Manchester in confidence.
25:45I may have mentioned something to her about you being unhappy, yeah.
25:48Okay, what happens at conference days at conference in at the Golden Rule, mate?
25:51Nothing that anyone couldn't have guessed, is it?
25:53No?
25:53I'm sorry, though.
25:55Really, I am.
25:56So what, did Kate say something to you?
25:59I don't want things to turn dirty, Stuart.
26:02That's not why I got into politics.
26:03Then why are you working with Ryan Walker, then?
26:07Huh?
26:08Does that make sense?
26:11It's got no business being anywhere near Downing Street, and you know that, and I know that you know.
26:16Listen to me.
26:16Listen.
26:17There is always room for someone like you in our office.
26:22I know that to be true.
26:24I know that Imogen will snap you up.
26:26I know it.
26:29Just think about it.
26:32Just have a think.
26:42Stop.
26:43Go back one.
26:44You see that on the edge of the frame?
26:47They're playing cards.
26:48Why would they need security?
26:55I just got another text.
26:57She's requesting a meet.
27:00I hope your mom is okay.
27:01It would be good to see her soon.
27:03We can see a security guard in one of your shots.
27:07So?
27:07I think she's been blown.
27:09She's answering questions we didn't ask her.
27:11She's being chaperoned.
27:12And now all of a sudden she wants a meet.
27:18Okay.
27:19What next?
27:21I'll talk to Zach.
27:23But I think I'm going to have to go back.
27:31You think her meet request is a set-up?
27:33I don't know, but something feels off.
27:36And now we know Malta's on the alert list as of last night.
27:40Can you authorize a team to extract her?
27:46It's too risky, Kate.
27:49Best case we'd get you there in two days.
27:51But we need the Foreign Secretary to sign off putting weapons
27:54through the diplomatic pack.
27:56I don't have two days.
27:57I'd have to go unarmed.
28:00I can't advise that.
28:02As your SO.
28:03Eagle Security will be armed to the teeth
28:05and there might be more on the way.
28:08I'm sorry, but the answer's no.
28:12We've got no idea how it's going to go down out there,
28:15which is exactly what Moscow always wants.
28:20We're just going to have to hope you're wrong
28:23and Echo hasn't been blamed.
28:36I'm not leaving her there.
28:38You made the right call.
28:39There are too many unknowns.
28:41I made a promise to her.
28:42And Alexei, I know how much your agents matter to you.
28:46It's why you've got this job.
28:47But you have to know when an op goes beyond your control.
28:50I'm not leaving her there, Rose.
28:53Suppose that's right.
28:54You walk into a trap.
28:55I can handle it.
28:57Surely your priority has to be...
28:59Excuse me.
29:02...has to be protecting the Russia desk.
29:04If any of you were compromised out there,
29:07it would take weeks to get a new team up to speed,
29:10by which time Moscow's asset would be in Downing Street.
29:13There's a chance I'll have to take.
29:17You take a break, okay?
29:21Go home.
29:22See your kids.
29:23Shit, Fiona.
29:38There she is.
29:39I told you she'd be here.
29:41Nice of you to show up.
29:42Sorry I'm late, darling.
29:44What have I missed?
29:45That's the same old story.
29:46She's got a fantastic brain when she's focused,
29:49but she is too easily distracted.
29:51Wow.
29:52Okay.
29:53That's Imogen.
29:54She's in.
29:56Okay.
29:56Right, so I'm going to shoot off.
29:58So we have done everything apart from history and politics,
30:01and this is the cue for the A-level choices.
30:02Stu, I'm going to have to work late tonight as well.
30:03Love you, darling.
30:04Bye-bye.
30:05Bye-bye.
30:05Bye-bye.
30:09Bye-bye.
30:09Bye-bye.
30:10Bye-bye.
30:10Bye-bye.
30:10Bye-bye.
30:11Bye-bye.
30:11Bye-bye.
30:11Bye-bye.
30:12Bye-bye.
30:17Do I have 8,000 pounds?
30:198,000, thank you.
30:208,50, 9,000, 9,000, 10,000.
30:24So I have 10,000 pounds for this gorgeous Matisse lithograph.
30:29Do I have 11,000, thank you, sir.
30:3212,000.
30:34Do I have 13,000?
30:3614,000?
30:3615,000.
30:38Shall we round it up, Mr. Amatole?
30:4015,000 for such a great cause.
30:47Sold!
30:4815,000 pounds for the kind gentleman here.
30:53I'm so sorry, James.
30:54He's been held up.
30:55Can we push it back for 20 minutes, please?
30:59Well, right now he's the only candidate,
31:00so of course he's going to win.
31:01Sympathy for image of Melissa thinks
31:03we'll play as an act of toxic masculinity.
31:07Melissa's a millennial Puritan.
31:09Trust me, anyone with ovies
31:10will just be bitching about Images' figure.
31:12Either way, it'll force her to pull out
31:14if she's got the balls to stand against you.
31:16Yeah, but still, it's a hefty price for a time.
31:17Hey, I don't know how bad this time actually is.
31:19If you want to win,
31:20you've got to play everything in your hand.
31:21Half measures aren't going to get you anyway.
31:23So sorry to interrupt.
31:24I'll have to drag him away
31:25for the Times interview.
31:26You can do it in the car.
31:27Oh, okay.
31:28All right, I'll see you later.
31:30You have to, you know.
31:43Please tell me the tip-off about the tape
31:45didn't happen at the Lisbon party.
31:47No, of course not.
31:48Does it exist?
31:51Was it filmed by the Russians?
31:53Yes, it exists.
31:54I've told you, I've got no idea
31:55if filmed the bloody thing
31:55or who's in it with them.
31:56Okay, if it's real
31:57and there's any hint
31:58that you were behind the leak,
32:00you know that it would sink us.
32:01I sink her first, surely.
32:02Not necessarily.
32:03A personal smear like this
32:04could make a heroine of her,
32:06especially if the Kremlin are behind it.
32:07There's no evidence of that.
32:08Doesn't matter.
32:09The right-wing press
32:10will have a field day.
32:11They'll say you're like
32:12one of Moscow's fellow travellers,
32:14like the old left.
32:15What's Lev Amatov
32:17at the Lisbon party?
32:19He's Amanda's friend, not mine.
32:20He's also got a Russian passport,
32:22family ties to Putin.
32:23Yes, he's also a British citizen
32:25who earned his money here fair and square.
32:27Do you know,
32:28we're happy enough to use his money
32:29to prop up public spending.
32:30He just dropped 50 grand in there
32:31on student scholarships.
32:34Is there anyone else there
32:35that you know about?
32:37You are making a mountain
32:38out of a molehill with this.
32:39Okay, you took a huge risk.
32:41I'm sure people already know
32:42that you went off without your PPO.
32:43What people?
32:44There were 50 EU ministers
32:45staying at St. Hotel, Ryan.
32:47Look, could we just leave
32:48the cross-question to the journalists, please?
32:50I've really got to take this.
32:54John, hi, sorry.
32:55I'm up to my ears.
32:57Now?
32:58You're landing on something now?
32:59I'm a public figure,
33:01in case you haven't noticed.
33:02Jesus.
33:04John, John.
33:05No, no, no, no.
33:06No, no.
33:07Construction was meant to be
33:08your expertise.
33:10Offering finance was mine.
33:11Do not get in this car room
33:12until I've sent you.
33:14If my lark goes under now,
33:15I am seriously...
33:17Listen to me, John.
33:19If you get fired,
33:19we're going to keep
33:20your fucking mouth shut.
33:30You can smoke all you like.
33:31You're not spending
33:32the weekend at Jay's.
33:33Not after what your
33:34teacher said tonight.
33:35Why could I see my boyfriend
33:36when I'm not at school?
33:37If you make a mistake,
33:39Fiona, I'm not stupid.
33:41You've known this guy
33:42for five minutes.
33:44Have this conversation
33:45with Dad,
33:45see what he says.
33:46Does not look
33:47paranoid workaholic.
33:49I know I've been
33:50away a lot recently.
33:51I think you like
33:52getting away from us.
33:54It's bad timing,
33:55but I have to go
33:56away again tomorrow.
33:58Oh, for God's sake.
34:00I'll get the boss home.
34:21Robert Peston?
34:22Are you alone?
34:24Yeah, I am.
34:26Oh, well, this is
34:27strictly off the record.
34:32Here he is.
34:33Monsieur Laurent Sauvert.
34:35He's a Swiss national.
34:36I was able to track him
34:38from Krimsov's Lisbon Villa
34:39back to his hotel.
34:40Who is he?
34:41I have no idea yet,
34:42but a man doesn't show up
34:44on our radar,
34:45or anywhere else
34:46for that matter.
34:47Well, that tells us
34:48something.
34:48Mm-hmm.
34:52So, um,
34:53do you have any more
34:54thoughts about Malta?
34:56A few.
34:56Huh?
34:59We deliberately made
35:00the approach
35:00to the church long,
35:02so even if this meet
35:03is a set-up,
35:04the Russians won't
35:05want her to deviate
35:06from our plan,
35:07which will stretch them.
35:09And that's my chance.
35:11What, you intercept her
35:12en route?
35:13I've got some ideas
35:14about that, too.
35:16Oh, fuck.
35:17Uh, yeah,
35:18I'm gonna need to drink.
35:21I think this is still
35:23good.
35:24Okay.
35:26Yeah.
35:26Do you want one?
35:27No, thanks.
35:29Oh,
35:30are you gonna tell
35:31Julie
35:33that you're thinking
35:33of going rogue?
35:35There's every chance
35:36they'll fire me, Rav.
35:37I can't do that
35:38to either of you.
35:39Man, forget
35:39about the suits.
35:41Like, you can't do this
35:43on your own.
35:46You should go
35:47and make friends
35:47with your bed.
35:49Get some rest
35:50and then decide
35:51whether you want
35:51to throw your entire
35:52career away.
35:54If you stop drinking
35:55that shit now...
35:57I'll let you know
35:58in the morning, yeah?
36:08Our understanding
36:09is that with
36:10four days to go,
36:11the Home Secretary,
36:12Imogen Conrad,
36:13will join
36:14the leadership contest
36:15tonight.
36:16We're expecting
36:16her announcement
36:17within the next...
36:18Are you ready?
36:18Who's out there?
36:19Everyone.
36:21Hurry.
36:24You've got this,
36:25Imogen.
36:29Wish me luck.
36:34Good luck.
36:39Hey, mate!
36:40Home Secretary!
36:41The Secretary!
36:41What did you say?
36:42It is my great
36:44and timely pleasure
36:46to announce my campaign
36:47to be the next leader
36:49of our party
36:50and of our great country.
37:06To join the waiting press
37:08and we need to cut away
37:10and we need to cut away
37:10from that now
37:11for some pretty sensational
37:12news about the other
37:14leadership candidates.
37:15In the last few minutes,
37:17our political editor,
37:18Robert Peston,
37:18has broken a bombshell
37:20of a story,
37:21to put it mildly,
37:22concerning the
37:23Foreign Secretary,
37:24Ryan Walker.
37:25The allegation
37:26that Mr. Walker
37:27slipped away
37:28from his personal
37:29protection team
37:30at the NATO summit
37:31in Lisbon this week
37:32and went to a party
37:34with the Russian
37:35Foreign Minister,
37:36Dmitry Krimsov,
37:37hosted by frequent
37:39donor to numerous
37:40British political parties,
37:42Lev Amatov.
37:44This is an absolutely
37:45extraordinary story.
37:46Our Foreign Secretary,
37:47Ryan Walker,
37:48having a private meeting
37:49with his Russian...
37:50Okay, we've got an hour
37:51to calm the storm
37:52or this race is over.
37:53Yeah, I think you should
37:54stay quiet.
37:54No, no, no,
37:54you shouldn't stay quiet.
37:55They'll crucify you.
37:56We just said it was
37:57some freelance diplomacy.
37:58Pre-Ukraine,
37:59that might have worked.
38:00But now...
38:01Well, have you got
38:01any better ideas?
38:02I'm just saying
38:02in this current climate
38:03it looks shady as hell.
38:04Yeah, well, maybe you had
38:05no choice but to go
38:05to that fucking party.
38:07Yeah, well, I hope you hang
38:08whoever leaked it.
38:09Oh, don't worry.
38:09I'm on it.
38:11Okay.
38:12News at 10 are asking for you.
38:13If you come clean now,
38:14perhaps we can salvage this.
38:16Okay, well, just call
38:16Bloody Pest and tell them
38:17to get here immediately.
38:18Too late.
38:19We won't make the end
38:20of the show.
38:20Well, then tell them
38:21to extend it.
38:24Okay.
38:30Well, as we said,
38:31we've extended the program
38:32tonight after we were told
38:34the Foreign Secretary
38:35wanted to give us
38:36some context
38:37for our explosive
38:39revelations earlier.
38:40And I'm pleased to say
38:41Robert is with him
38:42right now.
38:43Robert.
38:43Thanks, Tom.
38:44Foreign Secretary,
38:46you had a private meeting
38:48at a Lisbon party,
38:50of all things,
38:52with the Foreign Minister
38:54of Russia,
38:55a hostile state.
38:56You were not accompanied
38:57by any officials.
38:58There are no notes
38:59of the meeting.
39:00There was a clear breach
39:01of protocol.
39:02National security
39:03has been put at risk.
39:05Your colleagues say to me
39:06that you should resign
39:08and give up all ambitions
39:10to be leader of their party.
39:11I won't be resigning
39:12any time soon, Robert.
39:14Why on earth not?
39:15In the business of diplomacy,
39:16it's sometimes worth
39:17taking a risk,
39:19even a personal one.
39:20What on earth
39:21were you thinking of?
39:22Look,
39:23it was a social gathering,
39:24right,
39:24hosted by a very well-known
39:26British party donor
39:27where Dmitry Krymsov
39:28was again...
39:28Did you expect Krymsov
39:30to be there?
39:31I did expect Krymsov
39:32to be there.
39:33So why didn't you
39:34take your officials?
39:34Well,
39:36it's not a widely publicised fact
39:38that Dmitry Krymsov
39:39lost his only son last year.
39:40And it's, um,
39:42it's fairly well known
39:43that my wife and I,
39:47um...
39:50Sorry.
39:55We lost our only child,
39:58also a boy,
40:01three years ago.
40:08Sorry.
40:09And I...
40:10I wanted to express
40:12my private sympathy to him
40:13in the hope that we might
40:14find some common ground,
40:17man-to-man,
40:18if I'm allowed to say that
40:20these days.
40:20I imagine I speak
40:22for everybody watching
40:23that, you know,
40:24obviously,
40:26I feel for you
40:27enormous compassion
40:29given the tragedy
40:31that you suffered.
40:32But what do you think
40:33you actually achieved?
40:35How many people do you know
40:36would be bold enough
40:37to walk in that door
40:38and sit down
40:38with Dmitry Krymsov?
40:39How many people do you know
40:41would try to better
40:42that diplomatic relationship
40:43between Europe and Russia?
40:45I'd like you to name
40:46someone in the Cabinet
40:47that you would have
40:48that confidence in.
40:48Thank you, Robert.
40:49Robert Peston there
40:50with the Foreign Secretary
40:51and that was
40:52quite some interview.
40:54This leadership race
40:55is certainly hotting up.
40:57Let's move on
40:58to some of the day's
40:59other news now
41:00and having promised
41:02repeatedly...
41:15Kate.
41:19Sorry to have summoned you
41:20so late, Mrs. Henderson.
41:22I've been on national television
41:23fighting for my political life.
41:25I saw.
41:26I'm sorry.
41:28So you won't mind
41:28if I ask you
41:29a few simple questions?
41:32Of course.
41:33Did you know about
41:34my meeting
41:34with Dmitry Krymsov?
41:36Yes.
41:37How?
41:38Some basic detective work.
41:41I'm the Foreign Focking Secretary.
41:44Your boss.
41:45I don't need
41:46any covert surveillance.
41:47I understand Kate
41:48had concerns
41:50about your personal security.
41:55Did you leak
41:55my meeting
41:56to the press?
41:57No.
41:57You sure about that?
41:58Absolutely.
42:00Do you think
42:00I don't know
42:01who your husband
42:01works for?
42:02If you have a problem
42:03with my husband
42:04I suggest you
42:05take it up
42:05with him,
42:06Foreign Secretary
42:06or Imogen herself.
42:09But you'll admit
42:10you don't like
42:11my politics, do you?
42:12I'm a civil servant.
42:13Your politics
42:14are none of my business.
42:17Is there anything else
42:18you'd like to tell us, Kate?
42:22No.
42:24Unless Mr. Walker would.
42:26Do you think
42:27I would take the trouble
42:28to come here
42:28if I'd done anything
42:30underhand?
42:31It's not my job
42:32to say, sir.
42:33My job is to help
42:34keep you safe.
42:36If we fail to do that
42:37here at SIS
42:38then I'm sure
42:39I speak for everyone
42:40when I say
42:41it is deeply
42:42regrettable.
42:45Well
42:46if you've no more
42:48questions
42:48Foreign Secretary
42:52Take this
42:53as an official warning
42:57Do not meddle
42:58with the democratic process
43:19Hiya.
43:20Hi.
43:21Did you see it?
43:22What a fucking night.

43:28He's done.
43:29Well, I think it's going
43:29to take more than this
43:30to kill him off.
43:31I mean, maybe
43:31but it now means
43:32that Imogen
43:32is officially
43:33in the fucking race.
43:37Can I ask you something?
43:39Yeah?

43:43Well, to Harry?
43:46I mean,
43:47no,
43:47not that I know of.
43:49Why?
43:50Forget it.
43:52Katie,

43:54about that
43:55I could really do
43:55with knowing,
43:56you know,

44:25Ryan Walker.
44:27I mean, honestly,
44:27do they think
44:28we'd be that fucking stupid?
44:29Apparently so.
44:35Did you know that?
44:37About Ryan meeting Crimsoff.
44:39I mean,
44:39is that what that trip
44:40was about?
44:40I can't talk about it.

44:42but given the fact
44:42that you are investigating...
44:43We're not.
44:44And that's it, Stuart.
44:45I can't talk about it.
44:46All right.

45:20What is it?
45:21Something serious, or?
