00:24You wanted to see me.
00:29I'm assuming the original intel for this Maltese op came from Cyclops?
00:35Yes. He told me about Igor's annual trips to Valletta.
00:39So if that information was a plant, everything else is two.
00:43It wasn't. His explanation was entirely credible.
00:46So you're sure of the intelligence. What about him?
00:49It's all in the file. I've known him since I was a student in St. Petersburg.
00:52And 18 years later, he shows up in London working undercover at the Russian embassy,
00:58a senior Moscow intelligence officer, apparently looking to switch lanes.
01:02He was already disillusioned. Ukraine was the final straw.
01:05You obviously kept in touch.
01:06We stayed friends.
01:09Were you ever lovers?
01:10No.
01:12Did you want to be?
01:14Not relevant.
01:15Did he?
01:20Briefly, perhaps.
01:22But, um, I was already engaged to Stuart.
01:25So even if we'd wanted to...
01:27Ah, I see.
01:30So it's what he might have done but didn't
01:32that makes you so sure of his loyalty.
01:35A moment of weakness, perhaps,
01:38that he chose not to take advantage of?
01:43Isn't that worthy of trust?
01:45We can all lie to someone we love.
01:48Not how'd you turn as an incurable romantic?
01:52This job rather beats that out of you, I'm afraid.
01:56You're one of our best agent runners, Kate,
01:58but a great desk head requires many qualities.
02:01Certainty isn't one of them.
02:02So you're backing Zach?
02:04You need to find out if your friend Cyclops
02:06has been playing you, inadvertently or not,
02:09or you won't just be the youngest head of the Russia desk.
02:12You'll be the shortest serving, too.
02:16Will you run into the leadership, Foreign Secretary?
02:18Right now, my thoughts are just very much
02:20with Anthony and Jane.
02:21Foreign Secretary, you've got five days
02:23till the election.
02:24Don't be so coy.
02:25You need to get a move on, really.
02:27I think in a situation like this,
02:28it's very important to maintain our composure
02:30as a party.
02:31Hmm.
02:33What did C have to offer?
02:35Strategic ambiguity.
02:38The speciality, meaning we have to prove
02:40that we were right or we're fucked.
02:42Oh.
02:43And Echo might be, too.
02:45I'm going to set up a meeting with Cyclops
02:47tomorrow morning at the London Safe House.
02:48That's right.
02:50You need to shut that down.
02:51Zach's in the building.
02:52Yeah, of course, but it's a shame
02:54we can't show them this.
02:56Come on.
02:58That's Mr. Ryan Walker
02:59leaving the NATO conference last night.
03:02After the PM's announcement,
03:03by the back door.
03:05No official car,
03:07no PPOs,
03:08and no special advisor,
03:09Melissa Morris.
03:10No, nothing.
03:11So I talked to our Portuguese friends,
03:13did a little triangulation.
03:14And this was the drop-off point.
03:17Little villa in the hills.
03:19Guess who owns it?
03:21Putin's secret mistress.
03:23Close.
03:24Try Dimitri Crimson's brother-in-law.
03:27Are you serious?
03:28Oh, yeah.
03:29So Mr. Walker's response
03:30to the resignation of our Prime Minister
03:32is to go AWOL with the Russian Foreign Minister.
03:36Are you certain that Krimzoff was at the villa?
03:40Well, he got there half an hour before Ryan.
03:45Now, there was another arrival in a taxi
03:47from the Lisbon Royale.
03:48I haven't ID'd him yet,
03:50but are you ready for the pièce de résistance?
03:53Yeah.
03:54The man in the murk
03:56is Lev Amatov,
03:58our cuddly British oligarch.
04:01So Ryan meets the Russian Foreign Minister
04:04Offgrid in a...
04:05Oh, yeah.
04:07Offgrid.
04:08in a get-together
04:09brokered by
04:10a billionaire
04:11with historic ties
04:13to the Kremlin.
04:14I would call that
04:15politically suspect.
04:18Otherwise known
04:19as murky as fuck.
04:24Stuart had a night out
04:25with Melissa
04:26at the last party conference.
04:27He said she seemed disillusioned
04:29by working with Ryan.
04:30I should talk to her.
04:31Hmm.
04:32We need to talk more about this,
04:33but not here.
04:34Sure.
04:34Do you fancy a cuppa?
04:36Yeah.
04:41If this leaks,
04:42Ryan's finished.
04:44I take the risk
04:45of going in person.
04:46And Arthur,
04:47you've got a refuge.
04:48Or,
04:49maybe,
04:50Ryan is the one
04:51with the ask.
04:52On which subject?
04:53Why would Imogen
04:54accept a 200 grand donation
04:57from a man like
04:58Lev Amatov?
04:59On paper,
05:00you could argue
05:00that he's legit,
05:01right?
05:02I mean,
05:03Eaton,
05:03Cambridge,
05:04he's the chairman
05:05of Goldscope Media.
05:05Man's a tech tycoon.
05:07Plus,
05:07he's on the board
05:08of the British Museum
05:09and the Courtauld Institute,
05:10along with Ryan's wife.
05:13Imogen went to this conference
05:14in Portanovi
05:15two years ago.
05:17Stuart went.
05:18Pretty sure he said
05:20that Lev Amatov was there.
05:22Well,
05:22there's plenty of dirty money
05:24in Montenegro,
05:24you know.
05:25It's a shame
05:26we can't investigate,
05:28assuming we follow our orders.
05:32If Zach finds out
05:33we're working off the books...
05:34No, you won't,
05:35okay?
05:35Not if we get out
05:36of his eye line.
05:38As long as you're working
05:39on his debrief,
05:40he's not going to give
05:41two shits where I am.
05:44Anywhere in mind?
05:47Come on.
05:49It's just around here.
05:54You're so close.
05:56Yeah, well,
05:57it means I can wake up
05:58whenever I want to.
06:00Yeah.
06:02Come on.
06:07Well,
06:08it's close to HQ
06:09and it's off Zach's radar,
06:11so I'll take it.
06:12Right.
06:13Here's a spare key.
06:14It's my partner with Sandy's,
06:16but he's never around,
06:18so now it's yours.
06:20My money
06:21is on Ryan
06:22declaring first.
06:23Well,
06:23if Imogen goes up
06:24against him,
06:25Stuart thinks
06:26most of the others
06:26will back her.
06:28All right,
06:28so let's start
06:30with the two of them,
06:30then.
06:31And if anyone else
06:32joins the race,
06:32I'll go digging.
06:33Cool?
06:34Yeah.
06:36Five days.
06:37Better get around with it.
06:42It's going to be a long night.
06:56He told me to check it out.
06:59He told me to check it out.
07:01He told me to check it out.
07:06How could I let this?
07:08How?
07:09Are you kidding me or what?
07:11I don't want to know.
07:14It's a normal bitch.
07:16No,
07:16no,
07:16no,
07:17no,
07:17no.
07:18No,
07:20no.
07:22No,
07:23no,
07:23no,
07:24no,
07:24no,
07:33no,
07:34no,
07:35no,
07:38no,
07:41Let's go.
08:14Let's go.
08:39Let's go.
08:39Let's go.
08:39Let's go.
08:45Let's go.
08:46Let's go.
08:46Let's go.
08:47Let's go.
08:47Let's go.
09:18Did you put an agent in the villa?
09:21I need to go through your tip-off about Igor's holidays in Valletta.
09:26Is there any chance it could be a plant?
09:29Is there any chance it could be a plant?
09:35Is there any chance it could be a plant?
09:42Let's go.
09:42What did you find out?
09:45Could you have been set up?
09:47Could anyone know we've got ears in the villa?
09:50Not for me.
09:54Kate, you're going to have to trust my judgment in this unless you think I lied to you.
09:59Of course I don't.
10:00Of course I don't.
10:03Try to find out what you can about the red flag on Walter.
10:06It's important.
10:07Okay.
10:09I'll be in touch.
10:10I'll be in touch in the usual way.
10:24Morning.
10:25When did you last hear from Echo?
10:26Last night.
10:27A message saying she hadn't managed to change the battery and the mic.
10:30It's possible Moscow knows we're watching Igor.
10:33Fuck.
10:33How?
10:34I don't know yet.
10:35But they've just put Malta on the alert list.
10:37There was a big police bust on Gozo last night.
10:39It was on the news.
10:40Could be over that.
10:41What happened?
10:42Some fintech company breaching Russian sanctions.
10:45Enough to get Moscow's back up.
10:46You know how they like to think of this island as theirs.
10:48Maybe.
10:50But first we need to make sure Echo's safe.
10:52How close can you get to the villa?
10:54Not that close.
10:56But there's a view from the top of the cliff.
10:57Go there.
10:58I'll speak to Rose about this Gozo bust thing.
11:01Don't send Echo any more messages until we've had eyes on her.
11:04Yeah.
11:05Okay.
11:07I know even talking about immigration offends your metropolitan sensibility.
11:12I'd appreciate it if you didn't make an assumption like that.
11:15But my point is, it's not a left or a right issue.
11:18I'm a passionate believer in our multicultural society.
11:23But it's got to be protected.
11:25Protected from what?
11:26From being swamped by uncontrolled, poorly managed, illegal migration.
11:30Only last week, the Home Secretary said we need migrants to do the jobs that other people don't want to
11:35do.
11:35Yeah.
11:36Well, even so, we've been letting in hundreds of thousands of people a year for more than a decade
11:39without building the homes, the hospitals or anything else we need to accommodate them.
11:43Does that strike you two as sane?
11:45It's going to be hard to keep the economy moving with zero immigration.
11:49And a higher rate tax of 70%, which is what you're proposing.
11:53Yeah.
11:53On salaries of a quarter of a million pounds.
11:58So, obviously, it'd be a great shame to lose you both.
12:00Sinn Féin this morning are calling for a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should leave the United Kingdom.
12:06If you become Prime Minister, would you agree to that demand?
12:13Perhaps it's time we ask the English.
12:16They pay for the Union, after all.
12:19The UK, in or out.
12:22Foreign Secretary, is that really how you are launching your campaign?
12:26By playing the dog whistle of English nationalism?
12:31What the hell was all that about?
12:33The right wing press are going to lose their shit.
12:35Good. Just shaking things up.
12:37Step away from the middle, maybe catch a wave.
12:38Or you drown, Brian.
12:40We've only got four days.
12:41You want to start our campaign with a bang?
12:42Well, this was it.
12:43The bang was supposed to be a tough case on pulling back on immigration.
12:45Not throwing petrol on a nationalist bonfire.
12:47An election race, Melissa. I have to offer change.
12:49Well, our MPs are going to hate it.
12:51Yeah, some will, but the party rank and file will agree with me.
12:53More than anyone's worth me.
12:56I get it. Of course I do.
12:57But the next time you are going to disappear all night,
12:59if you could just send me a text, that would be great.
13:02Sorry, something came up.
13:03Well, I hope it was worse here.
13:06Absolute chaos here.
13:08I don't know if you saw that lunatic on GMB this morning,
13:10talking about a referendum for the English to leave the UK.
13:14It's just the populist playbook.
13:16He can't read it, can he?
13:18Well, who knows?
13:20Miss has put a rocket up Imogen's arse.
13:22Now he's declared.
13:22She's still on the fence.
13:24Do you think anyone else will run?
13:26No, not if she stops dragging her bloody heels, no.
13:29Oh, babe, before I forget, you know that conference in Montenegro,
13:33one you didn't want to go to?
13:35That was a tourist industry junket thing.
13:38Yeah, for hotels.
13:39Yeah, we were pitching for investment.
13:41Why?
13:42Do you remember who set it up?
13:43It's just the foreign office so on my back about reviewing ministers' security abroad.
13:49Like I need the extra bloody evidence.
13:51Yes, I do remember who set it up.
13:52It was the master of slime himself, Lev Amatov.
13:55He invited us and random backbenchers.
14:00I mean, me and Josh told Imogen she shouldn't bother, but she was adamant for some reason.
14:04Did you get the investment?
14:05No.
14:06Of course we didn't.
14:07Anything I got was that food poisoning.
14:08Do you remember the food poisoning I got?
14:09Oh, yeah.
14:10Famous squid.
14:11Famous squid?
14:12Yes, disgusting.
14:13Please.
14:14Gotta go.
14:15Oh, listen, don't forget, tonight is Fiona's parent-teacher thing.
14:18We are under strict instructions to not wear anything embarrassing, okay?
14:22As far as she's concerned, that's impossible.
14:24Love you.
14:25All right, love.
14:27You too.
14:30I spoke to GCHQ and Langley.
14:33They haven't heard any chatter coming out of Malta other than the Gozo bus.
14:36So it probably is the reason Moscow flagged it.
14:40Probably isn't enough.
14:41We'll regroup as soon as Julie's got a closer look at Echo.
14:45What's the news on her brother?
14:46We've moved him to a hostel in St Petersburg.
14:49As soon as you pull her out, we'll have him on his way to the border.
14:55All right, let's go.
14:56Just go north.
14:59Sure, I wasn't.
15:04I made my country comment.
15:05I haven't seen Moscow yet.
15:05All right, let's go.
15:15I've got to take the rest of the border in town.
15:16Nobody needs to leave here.
15:16I've got to take the coast.
15:17It's so simple to leave now as soon as you work.
15:17All right.
15:23We've got to take the coast.
15:25sure. Look at the date. Look at who was there. It was two weeks before Lev made his first
15:34donation to Harry Conrad's charity. Well, that's not a very subtle quid pro quo, is
15:38it? Exactly. So why not declare it? Stop the press from finding out she's got ties to
15:44an oligarch. It's not a very good look for the Home Office. So, you're going to ask her
15:49about it? I think I'll start with Angela White. It's Julie. What's the news? I can't see
15:57her. I've only got a limited view on the terrace, but Matty is giving Sandro his breakfast. Stay
16:04where you are and call me the second you see anything different.
16:19Well, if it is what you say, it'll be a game changer, couldn't it? No, I think we should
16:23wait. The timing's not right at the moment, but... Okay, okay, yeah, thanks. Okay, I'll call
16:29you then. Hi. A video involving a certain female politician has just been brought to my attention.
16:37Okay, what kind of video? We'll just have to use our imaginations. What a sex video of
16:42Imogen Conrad? It sounds implausible, but I have it on good authority. Well, how do you
16:47know it's going to late? I don't. I've just been tipped off that it might. By who? A journalist.
16:51I don't know. It doesn't matter who, does it? We just need a strategy in case it does.
16:56Of course, I sincerely hope it doesn't. It has nothing to do with us, will it, Ryan?
17:07You wanted to see me? Mrs. White, I'm not sure if you remember me. Of course I do. You gave
17:13no quarter to the committee, which strikes me as a good quality in your line of work. Let
17:17me sign you in. I think it's better if we take a walk. Is that okay? I was at the
17:23Montenegro
17:24conference because Lev asked me to be, and I made no secret of that. Save you the trouble,
17:28here's a donor to my local party. It seemed like a reasonable ask. Did the Home Secretary
17:33discuss her goals for the trip? I barely saw her. I assumed she was there as a favor to
17:36Lev, like me, but she didn't seem to be taking any of it very seriously. What do you mean
17:41by that? She wasn't in any of the talks. She seemed, let's put it this way, otherwise
17:46occupied. With what? She spent an awful lot of time horsing
17:51around in her aid. There were two of them, I think. One of them was laid up with a tummy
17:55bug. It was the other one, John. Josh. Josh, you were long? Good-looking chap. Maybe
18:01there was nothing going on. I can't say that I've ever entirely trusted her.
18:06Look, you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say I was ruling her out, but that
18:09doesn't mean that you can rule her in. Of course she isn't behind Ryan Walker's
18:14referendum bollocks. No, it's X. Come on. The only thing that X is a guide to is Elon
18:19Musk's artificially inflated testosterone. See ya. Can I have that for my manifesto?
18:25We can't hold out for much longer. We need to get out there ahead of Ryan. Okay?
18:29I need more coffee. What do you think I should do, Lev?
18:34I always said Ryan's smarter than he looks. It's a wrecking ball. He hasn't even started
18:40on us yet. Then you need to stop him. Simon. Hello. Is the Foreign Secretary taking mind-altering
18:50drugs? Yes, sadly. He is a full-blown crack addict now, Simon.
19:01Melissa, it's Kate. You used to work with my husband, Stuart, the Guardian. We met the
19:06Christmas party. Oh, you're the civil servant. Home office or was it with MOT?
19:11I actually work for SIS. We're investigating an issue with the Foreign Secretary's security.
19:17What was that? Yesterday. We were running a routine off in Lisbon and we noticed he left
19:22the summit venue without his protection officers. I wasn't aware. No? So there's no cause for
19:27concern over his security detail? Not so far as I know, no. He went to meet Lev Amatov,
19:33is that right? A reception at a private villa. Oddly enough, we can't seem to find a record
19:39of the event in the official schedule. Well, Lev's a personal friend of the Foreign Secretary.
19:42That's no secret. What about the fact that Dmitry Krimzov was there too?
19:49That's a massive allegation. You'll have to speak to the Foreign Secretary about it.
19:55I'm sure he'd be keen to avoid a diplomatic scandal, given the fact he's just announced his
19:59leadership bid. And what do you expect me to do about it? Talk to me, Melissa. Does Ryan
20:06often go AWOL? Does he shut you out of things? He might be running the country soon. Could you
20:13tell her to come to me? Of course not. This is between us. You've got to go. If you want
20:21to talk more. In confidence, of course. Thank you, Alc.
20:56I have eyes on her. She's playing past with Sandra and she just sent a text saying she's
21:00fine. It all looks normal. I told you not to send her any more messages. I didn't. Then
21:05why is she answering a question you didn't ask? Can you send me the pictures? I'll go
21:11on back now and take a look at them. Got it now.
21:14Bill. Stuart.
21:16By the end of the day, you all right? Did you tell your wife who you forgot to mention
21:21works for SIS? What we discussed in Manchester in confidence?
21:24No, I may have mentioned something to her about you being unhappy.
21:27Okay, what happens at conference days at conference in at the Golden Rule, mate?
21:30Nothing that anyone couldn't have guessed, is it? I'm sorry, though. Really, I am.
21:34What? So what? Did Kate say something to you?
21:37I don't want things to turn dirty, Stuart. That's not why I got into politics.
21:41Then why are you working with Ryan Walker, then?
21:45Huh?
21:46Does that make sense?
21:49It's because there's no business being anywhere near Downing Street, and you know that, and
21:52I know that you know. Listen to me. Listen. There is always room for someone like you
21:58in our office. I know that to be true. I know the image I'm going to slap you up. I
22:03know
22:03it. Just think about it. Just think about it. Just have a think.
22:18Stop. Go back one. You see that on the edge of the frame? They're playing cards. Why would
22:24they need security?
22:31I just got another text. She's requesting a meet?
22:35I hope your mom is okay. It would be good to see her soon.
22:39We can see a security guard in one of your shots.
22:42So?
22:42I think she's been blown. She's answering questions we didn't ask her. She's being chaperoned,
22:47and now all of a sudden she wants a meet.
22:52Okay. What next?
22:55I'll talk to Zach. But I think I'm going to have to go back.
23:05You think her meet request is a setup?
23:07I don't know, but something feels off. And now we know Malta's on the alert list as of
23:12last night. Can you authorize a team to extract her?
23:19It's too risky, Kate.
23:22Best case we'd get you there in two days. But we need the foreign secretary to sign off
23:27putting weapons through the diplomatic bank.
23:28I don't have two days. I'd have to go unarmed.
23:32I can't advise that. As your SO, Eagle's security will be armed to the teeth, and there might
23:38be more on the way.
23:40I'm sorry, but the answer's no.
23:44We've got no idea how it's going to go down out there, which is exactly what Moscow always
23:49wants.
23:51We're just going to have to hope you're wrong, and...
23:54Echo hasn't been blown.
24:07I'm not leaving her there.
24:09You made the right call. There are too many unloans.
24:11I made a promise to her. And Alexei, I know how much your agents matter to you. It's why
24:16you've got this job. But you have to know when an op goes beyond your control.
24:20I'm not leaving her there, Rose.
24:23Suppose that's right. You walk into a trap.
24:25I can handle it.
24:26Surely, your priority has to be...
24:31...has to be protecting the Russia desk.
24:34If any of you were compromised out there, it would take weeks to get a new team up to
24:38speed, by which time Moscow's asset would be in Downing Street.
24:42There's a chance I'll have to take.
24:46You take a break, okay? Go home. See your kids.
24:52Shit, Fiona.
25:06There she is. I told you she'd be here.
25:09Nice of you to show up.
25:10Sorry I'm late, darling. I missed.
25:13That's the same old story. She's got a fantastic brain when she's focused, but she is too easily
25:18distracted.
25:19Wow.
25:19Okay.
25:20That's Imogen.
25:21She's in.
25:23Okay.
25:23Right, so I'm going to shoot off.
25:25So we have done everything apart from history and politics, and this is the queue for the
25:28A-level choices.
25:29Stu, I'm going to have to work late tonight as well.
25:30Bye-bye.
25:31Bye-bye.
25:35Next.
25:36Mum.
25:37Sorry.
25:38Hello.
25:40Nice to meet you.
25:43Do I have 8,000 pounds?
25:458,000.
25:468,50.
25:479,000.
25:489,000.
25:4810,000.
25:50So I have 10,000 pounds for this gorgeous Matisse lithograph.
25:55Do I have...
25:5511,000.
25:57Thank you, sir.
25:5812,000.
26:0013,000.
26:0114,000.
26:0315,000.
26:03Shall we round it up, Mr. Ametal?
26:0515,000 for such a great cause.
26:12Sold.
26:1215,000 pounds for the kind gentleman here.
26:17I'm so sorry, James.
26:18He's been held up.
26:19Can we push it back for 20 minutes, please?
26:23Well, right now he's the only candidate, so of course he's going to win.
26:25Sympathy for Imogen Melissa thinks we'll play as an act of toxic masculinity.
26:30Melissa's a millennial Puritan.
26:32Trust me, anyone with ovaries will just be bitching about Imogen's figure.
26:36Either way, it'll force her to pull out if she's got the balls to stand against you.
26:39Yeah, but still, it's a hefty price for her to have to pay.
26:41I don't know how bad this tape actually is.
26:42If you want to win, you've got to play everything in your hand.
26:44Half measures aren't going to get you anyway.
26:46I'm so sorry to interrupt.
26:47I have to drag him away for the Times interview.
26:49You can do it in the car.
26:50Oh, okay.
26:51All right.
26:51I'll see you later.
26:53You have to.
27:05Please tell me the tip-off about the tape didn't happen at the Lisbon party.
27:08No, of course not.
27:10Does it exist?
27:12Was it filmed by the Russians?
27:14Yes, it exists.
27:15I've told you, I've got no idea if filmed the bloody thing or who's in it with her.
27:18Okay, if it's real and there's any hint that you were behind the leak, you know that it would sink
27:22us.
27:22I'd sink her first, surely.
27:23Not necessarily.
27:24A personal smear like this could make a heroine of her, especially if the Kremlin are behind it.
27:28There's no evidence of that.
27:29Doesn't matter.
27:30The right-wing press will have a field day.
27:32They'll say you're like one of Moscow's fellow travellers, like the old left.
27:36What's Lev Amatov?
27:37At the Lisbon party?
27:39He's Amanda's friend, not mine.
27:41He's also got a Russian passport, family ties to Putin.
27:43Yes, he's also a British citizen who earned his money here fair and square.
27:47Do you know, we're happy enough to use his money to prop up public spending.
27:50He just dropped 50 grand in there on student scholarships.
27:53Is there anyone else out there that you know about?
27:56You are making a mountain out of a molehill with this.
27:59Okay, you took a huge risk.
28:00I'm sure people already know that you went off without your PPO.
28:02What people?
28:03There were 50 of you ministers staying at the same hotel, Ryan.
28:06Look, could we just leave the cross question to the journalists, please?
28:09I've really got to take this.
28:12John, hi, sorry, I'm up to my ears.
28:15Now?
28:16You're landing on something now?
28:18I'm a public figure, in case you haven't noticed.
28:22John, John, no, no, no, no.
28:25Construction was meant to be your expertise.
28:28Offering finance was mine.
28:29Do not get in this car room until I tell you.
28:32If my luck goes under now, I am seriously...
28:35Listen to me, John.
28:35You get fired from Ben and keep your fucking mouth shut.
28:46You can smoke all you like.
28:48You're not spending the weekend at Jay's.
28:50Not after what your teachers said tonight.
28:51Why could I see my boyfriend when I'm not at school?
28:54If you make a mistake, Fiona...
28:56Not stupid.
28:57You've known this guy for five minutes.
29:00Have this conversation with Dad, see what he says.
29:02That's not the power of workaholic.
29:05I know I've been away a lot recently.
29:07Think you like getting away from us?
29:09It's bad timing, but I have to go away again tomorrow.
29:14Oh, for God's sake.
29:15I'll get the bus home.
29:27I have no idea what you're talking about.
29:30And if you're standing around with your name,
29:31put out of my arse like a fender,
29:33we've got another fucking thing coming.
29:35Robert Peirston?
29:37Are you alone?
29:38Yeah, I am.
29:40Oh, well, this is strictly off the record.
29:46Who is?
29:47Monsieur Laurent Sauvert.
29:49He's a Swiss national.
29:50I was able to track him from Crimson's Lisbon Villa
29:52back to his hotel.
29:54Who is he?
29:55I have no idea yet,
29:56but man doesn't show up on our radar,
29:58or anywhere else for that matter.
30:00Well, that tells us something.
30:01Mm-hmm.
30:05So, um,
30:06do you have any more thoughts about Malta?
30:09A few.
30:10Yeah?
30:11We deliberately made the approach to the church long,
30:14so even if this meet is a setup,
30:16the Russians won't want her to deviate from our plan,
30:20which will stretch them.
30:21And that's my chance.
30:23What, you intercept her en route?
30:25I've got some ideas about that, too.
30:28Oh, fuck.
30:29Yeah, I'm gonna need a drink.
30:33I think this is still good.
30:37Yeah.
30:38Do you want one?
30:38No, thanks.
30:40Oh,
30:42are you gonna tell Julie
30:43that you're thinking of going rogue?
30:46There's every chance they'll fire me, Rav.
30:48I can't do that to either of you.
30:49Man, forget about the suits.
30:52Like, you can't do this on your own.
30:56You should go and make friends with your bed.
30:59Get some rest,
31:00and then decide whether you want to throw your entire career away.
31:04If you stop drinking that shit now...
31:07I'll let you know in the morning.
31:09Yeah?
31:17Our understanding is that with four days to go,
31:20the Home Secretary, Imogen Conrad,
31:22will join the leadership contest tonight.
31:25We're expecting her announcement within...
31:26Are you ready?
31:27Who's out there?
31:28Everyone.
31:30Hurry.
31:33You've got this, Imogen.
31:38Wish me luck.
31:42Good luck.
31:50It is my great and timely pleasure to announce my campaign
31:55to be the next leader of our party
31:57and of our great country.
32:12To join the waiting press corps.
32:15And we need to cut away from that now
32:17for some pretty sensational news
32:19about the other leadership candidate.
32:21In the last few minutes,
32:22our political editor, Robert Peston,
32:24has broken a bombshell of a story,
32:27to put it mildly,
32:27concerning the Foreign Secretary Ryan Walker.
32:30The allegation that Mr. Walker
32:32slipped away from his personal protection team
32:35at the NATO summit in Lisbon this week
32:38and went to a party
32:39with the Russian Foreign Minister, Dmitry Krimsov,
32:42hosted by frequent donor
32:44to numerous British political parties,
32:47Lev Ametov.
32:48This is an absolutely extraordinary story.
32:51Our Foreign Secretary Ryan Walker
32:52having a private meeting with his Russian...
32:54Okay, we've got an hour to calm the storm
32:56or this race is over.
32:57Yeah, I think you should stay quiet.
32:58No, no, no, you shouldn't stay quiet.
32:59They'll crucify you.
33:00We just said it was some freelance diplomacy.
33:02Free Ukraine, that might have worked.
33:04But now...
33:05Well, have you got any better ideas?
33:06I'm just saying in this current climate,
33:07it looks shady as hell.
33:08Yeah, well, maybe I had no choice but to go to that fucking party.
33:10Yeah, well, I hope you hang whoever leaked it.
33:12Oh, don't worry. I'm on it.
33:14Okay.
33:15News at 10 are asking for you.
33:16If you come clean now, perhaps we can salvage this.
33:19Okay, well, just call Bloody Peston
33:20and tell them to get here immediately.
33:21Too late. We won't make the end of the show.
33:23We'll then tell them to extend it.
33:27Okay.
33:33Well, as we said, we've extended the program tonight
33:35after we were told the Foreign Secretary
33:37wanted to give us some context
33:39for our explosive revelations earlier.
33:42And I'm pleased to say Robert is with him right now.
33:44Robert.
33:45Thanks, Tom.
33:46Uh, Foreign Secretary, you had a private meeting
33:50at a Lisbon party, of all things,
33:53with the Foreign Minister of Russia, a hostile state.
33:57You were not accompanied by any officials.
33:59There are no notes of the meeting.
34:01There was a clear breach of protocol.
34:03National security has been put at risk.
34:06Your colleagues say to me that you should resign
34:09and give up all ambitions to be leader of their party.
34:11I won't be resigning any time soon, Robert.
34:14Why on earth not?
34:15In the business of diplomacy,
34:17it's sometimes worth taking a risk,
34:19even a personal one.
34:20What on earth were you thinking of?
34:22Look, it was a social gathering, right,
34:24hosted by a very well-known British party donor
34:27where Dmitry Krimsov was again...
34:28Did you expect Krimsov to be there?
34:31I did expect Krimsov to be there.
34:32So why didn't you take your officials?
34:34Well, it's not a widely publicised fact
34:37that Dmitry Krimsov lost his only son last year.
34:40And it's, um, it's fairly well known,
34:42uh, that my wife and I, um...
34:48Sorry.
34:52Uh, we lost our only child.
34:56Um, also a boy.
34:58Um, three years ago.
35:06Sorry.
35:07And I...
35:08I wanted to express my private sympathies to him
35:10in the hope that we might find some common ground,
35:15man-to-man, if I'm allowed to say that these days.
35:18I imagine I speak for everybody watching.
35:20Look, you know, obviously,
35:22I feel for you enormous compassion
35:26given the tragedy that you suffered.
35:29But what do you think you actually achieved?
35:32How many people do you know
35:33would be bold enough to walk in that door
35:34and sit down with Dmitry Krimsov?
35:36How many people do you know
35:37would try to better that diplomatic relationship
35:39between Europe and Russia?
35:41I'd like you to name someone in the Cabinet
35:43that you would have that confidence in.
35:44Thank you, Robert.
35:45Robert Peston there with the Foreign Secretary.
35:47And that was quite some interview.
35:50This leadership race is certainly hotting up.
35:53Let's move on to some of the day's other news now.
35:55And having promised repeatedly the fight...
36:10Kate.
36:14Sorry to have summoned you so late, Mrs Henderson.
36:16I've been on national television fighting for my political life.
36:19I saw.
36:20I'm sorry.
36:22So you won't mind if I ask you a few simple questions?
36:25Of course.
36:27Did you know about my meeting with Dmitry Krimsov?
36:30Yes.
36:30How?
36:31Some basic detective work.
36:35I'm the Foreign Focking Secretary.
36:37Your boss.
36:38I don't need any covert surveillance.
36:40I understand Kate had concerns about your personal security.
36:47Did you leak my meeting to the press?
36:49No.
36:50You sure about that?
36:51Absolutely.
36:52Do you think I don't know who your husband works for?
36:54If you have a problem with my husband,
36:56I suggest you take it up with him, Foreign Secretary,
36:59or Imogen herself.
37:01Well, you'll admit, you don't like my politics, do you?
37:04I'm a civil servant.
37:05Your politics are none of my business.
37:08Is there anything else you'd like to tell us, Kate?
37:13No.
37:15Unless Mr. Walker would.
37:17Do you think I would take the trouble to come here
37:20if I'd done anything on the hand?
37:22It's not my job to say, sir.
37:24My job is to help keep you safe.
37:27If we fail to do that here at SIS,
37:29then I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it is deeply regrettable.
37:35Well, if you have no more questions, Foreign Secretary,
37:42take this as an official warning.
37:47Do not meddle with the democratic process.
38:07Hiya.
38:09Hi.
38:10Did you see it? What a fucking night.
38:13Front row seat.
38:14I mean, Meg's already asked for his resignation.
38:16He's cooked. He's done.
38:17Well, I think it's going to take more than this to kill him off.
38:19I mean, maybe, but it now means that Imogen is officially in race.
38:25Can I ask you something?
38:27Yeah?
38:28Do you think Imogen's ever been unfaithful?
38:31Well, to Harry?
38:33I mean, no, not that I know of. Why?
38:38Forget it.
38:39Katie, if you've heard something about that, I could really do with knowing.
38:43You know, especially given she's now declared.
38:44No, forget about it. I just wanted your opinion.
38:47All right.
38:49You okay? You had a rough night?
38:51I've had better.
38:55Anything you can talk about, or...?
38:59I was accused of passing intel about the Crimsoff meeting to you.
39:04To me?
39:06Well, who's accused you? Zach?
39:09Man of the moment. Ryan Walker.
39:12I mean, honestly, do they think we'd be that fucking stupid?
39:14Apparently so.
39:20Did you know, though?
39:22About Ryan meeting Crimsoff? I mean, is that what that trip was about?
39:25I can't talk about it.
39:26No, you can't talk about it, but given the fact that you are investigating...
39:28We're not, and that's it, Stuart. I can't talk about it.
39:31All right.
39:33Sorry.
39:38Well...
39:39Bloody hell.
39:41Well, we better win, then.
39:42Hey.
39:43I'm a civil servant. I can't comment.
39:45Yes.
39:45Your neutrality is noted as ever.
39:48I'm not joking, Stuart.
39:49I'm not joking.
39:55I'm really sorry, but I have to go away again tomorrow.
39:58I'll be gone before you're up, no.
40:00Okay.
40:02What?
40:03I...
40:03What is it?
40:04Is it something serious, or...?
40:07It's a potentially hostile environment.
40:38Everything is in place.
40:40Now you're going to find out what Anderson knows.
40:46Malta is not the best place to die.
40:50Only stupid.
40:54Confirm the meeting in the church this morning.
40:59Now.
41:00Now.
41:09One thing is not the fact that you do happen.
41:09If you do think right before,
41:09but suddenly you have to be protected.
41:10Don't know anything about tonight.
