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.
01:18No, no.
01:21No, no.
01:37I don't know.
02:10Что здесь происходит?
02:12Ты что, с ума сошел?
02:14Что ты делаешь?
02:28Сказал, ушел!
02:52Субтитры создал DimaTorzok
03:19Субтитры создал DimaTorzok
03:42You wanted to see me?
03:47I'm assuming the original intel for this Maltese op came from Cyclops?
03:54Yes. He told me about Igor's annual trips to Valletta.
03:58So that information was a plant. Everything else is two.
04:02It wasn't. His explanation was entirely credible.
04:05So you're sure of the intelligence. What about him?
04:08It's all in the file. I'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. Ukraine 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. So 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. A moment of
04:58weakness, perhaps, that 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 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. Certainty isn't one of
05:25them.
05:26So you're backing Zach?
05:27You need to find out if your friend Cyclops has been playing you, inadvertently or not, or you won't just
05:33be the youngest head of the Russia desk. You'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.
05:44Foreign Secretary, you've got five days till the election. Don't be so coy. You need to get a move on,
05:51really.
05:51If you get a situation like this, it's very important to maintain our composure as a party.
05:56Hmm.
05:57What did she have to offer?
05:59Strategic ambiguity.
06:03His speciality, meaning we have to prove that we were right or we're fucked.
06:07Oh.
06:07And Echo might be, too. I'm going to set up a meeting with Cyclops tomorrow morning at the London Safe
06:13House.
06:15You need to shut that down. Zach'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. So I talked to our Portuguese friends, did a little triangulation, and this was the drop-off point.
06:43A little villa in the hills. Guess who owns it?
06:47Uh, 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?
07:21Yeah.
07:23The man in the murk is Lev Amatov, our cuddly British oligarch.
07:30So Ryan meets the Russian Foreign Minister, Offgrid, in a...
07:34Oh, yeah.
07:36Offgrid.
07:37In a get-together brokered by a billionaire with historic ties to the Kremlin.
07:43Now, I 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.
08:00Ryan, I 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?
08:17Enough or 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 the books...
09:08No, he won't, OK?
09:09Not if we get out of his eye line.
09:11Look, as long as you're working on his debrief,
09:14he's not going to give two shits where I am.
09:18Anywhere in mind?
09:21Yeah, come on.
09:24Just round here.
09:29You're so close.
09:31Yeah, well, it means I can wake up whenever I want to.
09:35Come 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?
10:10Yeah.
10:12Five days.
10:14Better get around with it.
10:19It's going to be a long night.
10:20It's going to be a long night.
10:50Not a long night.
10:52It's going to be a long night.
10:54Not a long night.
10:56Yeah.
11:07Not a long night.
11:10No.
11:11Not a long night.
11:27I don't know.
11:55I don't know.
12:20I don't know.
12:50Are you running an open Valetta?
12:54Malta's been put in the alert list last night.
12:57It came through at the embassy.
12:59What's the alert about?
13:01I don't know.
13:03Did you put an agent in the villa?
13:06I need to go through your tip-off about Igor's holidays in Valetta.
13:11Is there any chance it could be a plant?
13:15Is there why we're here?
13:17You 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'd lie 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.
14:12Morning.
14:13When did you last hear from Echo?
14:15Last night.
14:16A message saying she hadn't managed to change the battery and 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.
14:25There was a big police bust on Gozo last night.
14:28It was on the news.
14:29It could be over that.
14:30What 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 about 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 by uncontrolled, poorly managed, illegal migration.
15:21Look, only last week the Home Secretary said we need migrants to do the jobs that other people don't want
15:26to do.
15:27Yeah.
15:27Well, even so, we've been letting in hundreds of thousands of people a year for more than a decade without
15:32building the homes, the hospitals or 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 and a higher rate tax of 70%,
15:44which 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.
15:52Sinn Féin this morning are calling for a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should leave the United Kingdom.
16:00If you become Prime Minister, would you agree to that demand?
16:07Perhaps 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.
16:30Just shaking things up.
16:32Step away from the middle, maybe catch a wave.
16:33Or you drown, Brian.
16:34We've only got four days.
16:36You want to start our campaign with a bang?
16:37Well, this was it.
16:38The bang was supposed to be a tough case on pulling back on immigration, not throwing petrol on a nationalist
16:42bonfire.
16:42An election race, Melissa.
16:44I 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.
16:52Of course I do.
16:53But the next time you are going to disappear all night, if you could just send me a text, that
16:57would 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, talking about a referendum for the English to
17:10leave 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 ass.
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 when he didn't want to go to?
17:32That was a tourist industry junket thing.
17:35Yeah, for hotels.
17:37Yeah, 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 evidence.
17:49Yes, I do remember who set it up.
17:51It was the master of slime himself, Lev Amatov.
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, of 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 bus, so it probably
18:38is 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.
18:56We'll be on 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?
19:43exactly
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
19:51so you're gonna 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
20:25what if it is what you're saying it'll be a game changer couldn't it?
20:28no I think we should wait
20:30timing's not right at the moment but
20:33okay okay yeah thanks
20:34okay I'll call you then
20:38right
20:39a video involving a certain female politician has just been brought to my attention
20:43okay what kind of video?
20:45we'll just have to use our imaginations
20:48what sex video of Imogen Conrad?
20:51sounds implausible
20:52but I have it on good authority
20:54well how do you know it's gonna leak?
20:55I don't I've just been tipped off that it might
20:57by who?
20:58a journalist I don't know
20:59it doesn't matter who does it?
21:01we just need a strategy in case it does
21:03of course I sincerely hope it doesn't
21:05it has nothing to do with us will it Ryan?
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?
21:31I was at the Montenegro conference because Lev asked me to be
21:34and I made no secret of that
21:36save you the trouble
21:37here's a donor to my local party
21:39it seemed like a reasonable ask
21:40did 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
21:49what do you mean by that?
21:52she wasn't at any of the talks
21:53she seemed, let's put it this way, otherwise occupied
21:57with what?
21:59she spent an awful lot of time horsing 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
22:08Josh, are you along?
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 that 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 is
22:31Elon Musk's artificially inflated testosterone
22:34see ya
22:34can 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
22:49it'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
23:07Simon
23:15Melissa
23:16it's Kate
23:17you used to work with my husband Stuart at 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
23:33we 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 over 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
23:52oddly enough
23:53we can't seem to find a record of the event in the official schedule
23:56well, Lev's a personal friend of the foreign secretary
23:58that's no secret
24:00what 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 try to come to me?
24:32of course no
24:34this is between us
24:37we'll go
24:38if you want to talk more
24:42in confidence, of course
24:59thank you
24:59thank you
25:16I have eyes on her
25:17she's playing cards with Sandra
25:19on her own
25:19she 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
25:25then 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
25:33on it now
25:35Bill
25:36Stuart
25:38you 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
25:48okay what happens at conference days at conference inn at the golden rule mate?
25:51nothing that anyone couldn't have guessed is it?
25:53huh? I'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?
26:09does that make sense?
26:11it's got no business being anywhere near Downing Street
26:14and you know that and I know that you know
26:16listen to me
26:16listen
26:17there is always room for someone like you
26:20in our office
26:22I know that to be true
26:24I know that Imogen would snap you up
26:26I know it
26:29just think about it
26:32just never think
26:42stop going 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 mum 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
27:18okay
27:19what next?
27:21I'll talk to Zach
27:23but I think I'm gonna have to go back
27:31you think her meet request is a set up?
27:33I don't know
27:34but something feels off
27:36and now we know Malta's on the alert list as of last night
27:39can you authorise 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 through the diplomatic bank
27:56I don't have two days
27:57I'd have to go unarmed
28:00I can't advise that
28:01as your SO
28:03Eagle security will be armed to the teeth
28:05and there might be more on the way
28:08I'm sorry
28:09but the answer's no
28:12we've got no idea how it's gonna go down out there
28:15which is exactly what Moscow always wants
28:20we're just gonna have to hope you're wrong
28:21and
28:23Echo hasn't been blown
28:36I'm not leaving her there
28:38you made the right call
28:39there are too many unknowns
28:40I made a promise to her
28:42and Alexei
28:43I 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
29:02has 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
29:09by which time Moscow's asset would be in Downing Street
29:12there's a chance I'll have to take

31:56okay if it's real and there's any hint that you were behind the leak
31:59you know that it would sink us
32:01I sink it first surely
32:02not necessarily
32:03a personal smear like this could 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 will have a field day
32:11they'll say you're like one of Moscow's fellow travelers like 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

32:24a British citizen
32:25who earned his money here fair and square
32:27do you know we're happy enough to use his money to prop up public spending
32:30he just dropped 50 grand in there on student scholarships
32:34is there anyone else there that should know about?
32:37you are making a mountain out of a molehill with this

33:49I know I've been away a lot recently
33:51think you like getting away from us
33:54it's bad timing but I have to go away again tomorrow
33:58oh for God's sake
34:00I'll get the boss home
34:13I've got no idea what you're talking about
34:15and he keeps going to grab a million quid out of my heart like a fender
34:18we've got another fucking thing coming
34:21Robert Paxton?
34:22are you alone?
34:24yeah I am
34:26oh well this is strictly off the record
34:32who is?
34:33Monsieur Laurent Sauvert
34:35he's a Swiss national
34:36I was able to track him from Crimson'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 on our radar
34:45or anywhere else for that matter
34:46well that tells us something
34:50mmhmm
34:51so um
34:53do you have any more thoughts about Malta?
34:56a few
34:57yeah?
34:59we deliberately made the approach to the church long
35:02so even if this meet is a set up
35:04the Russians won't want her to deviate from our plan
35:07which will stretch them
35:09and that's my chance
35:11what you intercept her en route
35:13I've got some ideas about that too
35:16oh fuck
35:16uh
35:17yeah I'm gonna need a drink
35:21I think this is still good
35:25yeah
35:26do you want one?
35:27no thanks
35:29oh
35:30are you gonna tell Julie
35:32that you're thinking of going rogue?
35:35there's every chance they'll fire me Rav
35:37I can't do that to either of you
35:38man forget about the suit
35:41you can't do this
35:43on your own
35:46you should go and make friends with your bed
35:49get some rest and then decide whether you want to throw your entire career away
35:54if you stop drinking that shit now
35:57I'll let you know in the morning
35:58yeah?
35:59okay
35:59yeah
36:08our understanding is that with four days to go the home secretary Imogen Conrad will join the leadership contest tonight
36:15we're expecting her announcement within the next-
36:18are you ready?
36:18who's out there?
36:19everyone
36:20hurry
36:24you've got this Imogen
36:29wish me luck
36:33good luck
36:34good luck
36:42it is my great and timely pleasure to announce my campaign to be the next leader of our party and
36:50of our great country
37:06to join the waiting press corps
37:08and we need to cut away from that now for some pretty sensational news about the other leadership candidates
37:15in the last few minutes our political editor Robert Peston has broken a bombshell of a story to put it
37:21mildly
37:22concerning the foreign secretary Ryan Walker
37:25the allegation that Mr. Walker slipped away from his personal protection team at the NATO summit in Lisbon this week
37:32and went to a party with the Russian foreign minister Dmitry Krimsov
37:37hosted by frequent donor to numerous British political parties
37:41Lev Amatov
37:43this is an absolutely extraordinary story
37:46our foreign secretary Ryan Walker
37:47having a private meeting with his Russian
37:50okay we've got an hour to calm the storm or this race is over
37:53yeah I think you should stay quiet
37:54no no no you shouldn't stay quiet they'll crucify you
37:56we just said it was some freelance diplomacy
37:58pre-Ukraine that might have worked
38:00but now
38:01well have you got any better ideas?
38:02I'm just saying in this current climate it looks shady as hell
38:04yeah well maybe I had no choice but to go to that fucking party
38:06yeah well I hope you hang whoever leaked it
38:09oh don't worry I'm on it
38:11okay news at 10 are asking for you
38:13if you come clean now perhaps we can salvage this
38:15okay well just call Bloody Peston and tell them to get here immediately
38:18too late we won't make the end of the show
38:20well then tell them to extend it
38:24okay
38:30well as we said we've extended the program tonight
38:33after we were told the foreign secretary wanted to give us some context for our explosive revelations earlier
38:40and I'm pleased to say Robert is with him right now
38:42Robert?
38:43thanks Tom
38:44thanks Tom
38:44uh foreign secretary you had a private meeting at a Lisbon party of all things with the foreign minister of
38:54Russia a hostile state
38:56you were not accompanied by any officials there are no notes of the meeting
39:00there was a clear breach of protocol national security has been put at risk
39:04your colleagues say to me that you should resign and give up all ambitions to be leader of their party
39:11I won't be resigning anytime soon Robert
39:13why on earth not?
39:15in the business of diplomacy it's sometimes worth taking a risk even a personal one
39:20what on earth were you thinking of?
39:22look it was a social gathering
39:24right hosted by a very well known British party donor where Dmitry Krimsov was again
39:28did you expect Krimsov to be there?
39:31I did expect Krimsov to be there
39:33so why didn't you take your officials?
39:35well
39:36it's not a widely publicised fact that Dmitry Krimsov lost his only son last year
39:40and it's um it's fairly well known that my wife and I
39:45um
39:50sorry
39:54uh
39:55we lost our only child
39:58also a boy
40:00um
40:01three years ago
40:08sorry
40:09and I
40:10I wanted to express my private sympathy to him
40:13in the hope that we might find some common ground
40:17man to man if I'm
40:18if I'm allowed to say that these days
40:21I imagine I speak for everybody watching
40:23that
40:23you know obviously
40:25I feel for you
40:27enormous compassion given the tragedy that you suffered
40:32thank you
40:32but what do you think you actually achieved?
40:35how many people do you know would be bold enough to walk in that door and sit down with Dmitry
40:39Krimsov?
40:39how many people do you know would try to better that diplomatic relationship between Europe and Russia?
40:45I'd like you to name someone in the cabinet that you would have that confidence in
40:48thank you Robert
40:49Robert Peston there with 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 to some of the day's other news now
41:00and having promised repeatedly that by
41:15Kate
41:19sorry to have summoned you so late Mrs Henderson I've been on national television fighting for my political life
41:24I saw
41:26I'm sorry
41:28so you won't mind if I ask you a few simple questions
41:31of course
41:32did you know about my meeting with Dmitry Krimsov?
41:36yes
41:37how?
41:38some basic detective work
41:41I'm the foreign fucking secretary
41:44your boss
41:45I don't need any covert surveillance
41:47I understand Kate had concerns about your personal security
41:54did you leave my meeting to the press?
41:57no
41:57you sure about that?
41:58absolutely
41:59do you think I don't know who your husband works for?
42:02if you have a problem with my husband
42:04I suggest you take it up with him foreign secretary or Imogen herself
42:09but you'll admit you don't like my politics do you?
42:12I'm a civil servant
42:13your politics are none of my business
42:17is there anything else you'd like to tell us Kate?
42:22no
42:24unless Mr Walker would
42:26do you think I would take the trouble to come here
42:28if I'd done anything under hand?
42:31it's not my job to say sir
42:33my job is to help keep you safe
42:36if we failed to do that here at SIS
42:38then I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it is deeply regrettable
42:42regrettable
