00:28You
00:43What is happening here?
00:45What are you doing?
00:47What are you doing?
00:48Your little Lenka was spying on us.
00:52Now she's going to tell me all her secrets.
00:56Go back to bed.
00:58I'm for boss now.
01:01He said he left.
01:28He wanted to see me.
01:33I'm assuming the original intel for this Maltese op came from Cyclops?
01:39Yes.
01:40He told me about Igor's annual trips to Valletta.
01:43So that information was a plant.
01:45Everything else is two.
01:47It wasn't.
01:47His explanation was entirely credible.
01:50So you're sure of the intelligence.
01:52What about him?
01:53It's all in the file.
01:54I've known him since I was a student in St. Petersburg.
01:56And 18 years later, he shows up in London working undercover at the Russian Embassy,
02:02a senior Moscow intelligence officer, apparently looking to switch lanes.
02:06He was already disillusioned.
02:07Ukraine was the final straw.
02:09You obviously kept in touch.
02:10We stayed friends.
02:13Were you ever lovers?
02:14No.
02:16Did you want to be?
02:18Not relevant.
02:19Did he?
02:24Briefly, perhaps.
02:29Ah, I see.
02:34So it's what he might have done, but didn't, that makes you so sure of his loyalty.
02:39A moment of weakness, perhaps, that he chose not to take advantage of?
02:47Isn't that worthy of trust?
02:49We can all lie to someone we love.
02:52Not had you done as an incurable romantic.
02:56This job rather beats that out of you, I'm afraid.
03:00You're one of our best agent runners, Kate.
03:03But a great desk head requires many qualities.
03:05Certainty isn't one of them.
03:07So you're backing Zack?
03:08You need to find out if your friend Cyclops has been playing you, inadvertently or not.
03:13Or you won't just be the youngest head of the Russia desk.
03:16You'll be the shortest serving, too.
03:20Will you run to the leadership or the secretary?
03:22Oh, Trent.
03:22Right now my thoughts are just going on through Anthony and Jane.
03:25The former secretary, you've got five days until the election.
03:28Don't be so coy.
03:29You need to get a move on.
03:31We don't think in a situation like this it's very important to maintain our composure as a party.
03:35Hmm.
03:37What did C have to offer?
03:39Strategic ambiguity.
03:42The speciality.
03:43Meaning we have to prove that we were right or we're fucked.
03:46Oh.
03:47And Echo might be too.
03:49I'm going to set up a meeting with Cyclops tomorrow morning at the London safe house.
03:54You need to shut that down.
03:55Zack's in the building.
03:56Yeah, of course, but it's a shame we can't show them this.
04:00Come on.
04:02That's Mr. Ryan Walker leaving the NATO conference last night after the PM's announcement by the back door.
04:09No official car, no PPOs and no special advisor, Melissa Morris.
04:14No, nothing.
04:15So I talked to our Portuguese friends, did a little triangulation.
04:18And this was the drop off point.
04:21Little villa in the hills.
04:23Guess who owns it?
04:25Er, Putin's secret mistress?
04:27Close.
04:28Try Dimitri Krimzov's brother-in-law.
04:31Are you serious?
04:32Oh yeah.
04:33So Mr. Walker's response to the resignation of our Prime Minister is to go AWOL with the Russian Foreign Minister.
04:41Are you certain that Krimzov was at the villa?
04:44Well, he got there half an hour before Ryan.
04:49Now, there was another arrival in a taxi from the Lisbon Royale.
04:52I haven't ID'd him yet, but are you ready for the piece de resistance?
04:57Yeah.
04:58The man in the murk is Lev Amatov, our cuddly British oligarch.
05:05So Ryan meets the Russian Foreign Minister off-grid in a...
05:11...in a get-together brokered by a billionaire with historic ties to the Kremlin.
05:18Now, I would call that politically suspect.
05:21Otherwise known as murky as fuck.
05:28Stuart had a night out with Melissa at the last party conference.
05:31He said she seemed disillusioned by working with Ryan.
05:34I should talk to her.
05:35Hmm.
05:36We need to talk more about this, but not here.
05:38Sure.
05:38Do you fancy a couple?
05:40Yeah.
05:45If this leaks, Ryan's finished.
05:48Why take the risk of going in person?
05:50Enough where you've got a refuge.
05:52Or...
05:53...maybe Ryan is the one with the arse.
05:55On which subject?
05:57Why would Imogen accept a 200 grand donation from a man like Lev Amatov?
06:03Oh, on paper you could argue that he's legit, right?
06:06I mean, Eaton, Cambridge, he's the chairman of Goldscope Media, man's a tech tycoon.
06:11Plus he's on the board of the British Museum and the Courtauld Institute, along with Ryan's wife.
06:17Imogen went to this conference in Portanovi two years ago.
06:21Stewart went.
06:23Pretty sure he said that Lev Amatov was there.
06:26Well, there's plenty of dirty money in Montenegro, you know.
06:29It's a shame we can't investigate.
06:32Assuming we follow our orders.
06:36If Zack finds out we're working off the books...
06:38He won't, okay?
06:39Not if we get out of his eye line.
06:42As long as you're working on his debrief, he's not gonna give two shits where I am.
06:48Anywhere in mind?
06:51Yeah, come on.
06:53It's just round here.
06:58You have so close.
07:00Yeah, well, at least I can wake up whenever I want to.
07:04What do you think of?
07:06I'm in.
07:12Well, it's Greg's to HQ and it's off Zack's radar, so we'll take care of Greg.
07:16Here's a spare key.
07:18It's my partner Sandy's, but he's never around, so now it's yours.
07:24Our money is on Ryan declaring first.
07:27Well, if Imogen goes up against him, Stuart thinks most of the others will back her.
07:31Yeah.
07:32Alright, so let's start with the two of them then.
07:35And if anyone else joins the race, I'll go digging.
07:38Cool?
07:38Yeah.
07:40Five days.
07:41Better get around with them.
07:46It's gonna be a long night.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Yeah.
08:07Yeah.
08:15Yeah.
08:17It's gonna be a small party.
08:20What about it?
08:22Help me.
08:24Help me.
08:26Help me.
08:27Help me.
08:35Help me.
08:38Help me.
08:41Again, I'll give it to you.
08:53I don't know.
09:19I don't know.
09:46I don't know.
10:16I don't know.
10:22Did you put an agent in the villa?
10:23I don't know.
10:43It was seismic, much bigger than we expected, and the Chief's now worried about blowback.
10:47What did you find out?
10:50Could you have been set up?
10:51Could anyone know we've got ears in the villa?
10:54Not for me.
10:58Kate, you're going to have to trust my judgment in this.
11:02Unless you think I lied to you.
11:03Of course I don't.
11:07Try to find out what you can about the red flag on Walter.
11:10It's important.
11:11Okay.
11:13I'll be in touch in the usual way.
11:27I'll be in touch in the usual way.
11:28Morning.
11:29When did you last hear from Echo?
11:30Last night.
11:31A message saying she hadn't managed to change the battery and the mic.
11:34It's possible Moscow knows we're watching Igor.
11:37Fuck.
11:38How?
11:38I don't know yet, but they've just put Malta on the alert list.
11:41There was a big police bust on Gozo last night.
11:43It was on the news.
11:44Could be over that.
11:45What happened?
11:46Some fintech company breaching Russian sanctions.
11:49Enough to get Moscow's back up.
11:50You know how they like to think this island is theirs.
11:52Maybe.
11:54But first we need to make sure Echo's safe.
11:56How close can you get to the villa?
11:58Not that close.
12:00But there's a view from the top of the cliff.
12:01Go there.
12:02I'll speak to Rose about this Gozo bust thing.
12:05Don't send Echo any more messages until we've had eyes on her.
12:09Yeah.
12:09Okay.
12:11I know even talking about immigration offends your metropolitan sensibility.
12:16I'd appreciate it if you didn't make an assumption like that.
12:19But my point is, it's not a left or a right issue.
12:22I'm a passionate believer in our multicultural society.
12:27But it's got to be protected.
12:29Protected from what?
12:30From being swamped by uncontrolled, poorly managed, illegal migrations.
12:34Only last week the Home Secretary said we need migrants to do the jobs that other people don't want to
12:39do.
12:39Well, even so, we've been letting in hundreds of thousands of people a year for more than a decade
12:43without building the homes, the hospitals or anything else we need to accommodate them.
12:47And does that strike you two as sane?
12:49It's going to be hard to keep the economy moving with zero immigration and a higher rate tax of 70%,
12:56which is what you're proposing.
12:57Yeah, on salaries of a quarter of a million pounds.
13:02So obviously it'd be a great shame to lose you both.
13:04Sinn FĆ©in this morning are calling for a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should leave the United Kingdom.
13:10If you become Prime Minister, would you agree to that demand?
13:17Perhaps it's time we ask the English.
13:21They pay for the Union, after all.
13:23The UK, in or out.
13:26Foreign Secretary.
13:27Is that really how you are launching your campaign?
13:30By playing the dog whistle of English nationalism?
13:35What the hell was all that about?
13:37The right-wing press are going to lose their shit.
13:39Good.
13:40Shaking things up.
13:41Step away from the middle, maybe catch a wave.
13:42Oh, you drown.
13:43Brain, we've only got four days.
13:45You want to start our campaign with a bang?
13:46Well, this was it.
13:47The bang was supposed to be a tough case on pulling back on immigration,
13:49not throwing petrol on a nationalist bonfire.
13:51It's an election race, Melissa.
13:53I have to offer change.
13:53Well, our MPs are going to hate it.
13:55Yeah, some will, but the party rank and file will agree with me.
13:57More than they'd want to admit.
14:00I get it.
14:01Of course I do.
14:01But the next time you are going to disappear all night,
14:03you could just send me a text.
14:05That would be great.
14:06Sorry, something came up.
14:08Well, I hope it was worse here.
14:10Absolute chaos here.
14:12I don't know if you saw that lunatic on GMB this morning,
14:14talking about a referendum for the English to leave the UK.
14:19It's just the populist playbook.
14:20He can't read it, can he?
14:22Well, who knows?
14:24They just put a rocket up Imogen's house now he's declared.
14:26I mean, she's still on the fence.
14:28Do you think anyone else will run?
14:30No, not if she stops dragging her bloody heels, no.
14:33Oh, babe, before I forget,
14:34you know that conference in Montenegro
14:37when you didn't want to go to?
14:39That was a tourist industry junket thing.
14:42Yeah, for hotels.
14:43Yeah, we were pitching for investment.
14:45Why?
14:46Do you remember who set it up?
14:47It's just the foreign office so on my back
14:50about reviewing Minister's security at Broad.
14:53I can need the extra bloody admin.
14:55Yes, I do remember who set it up.
14:56It was the master of slime himself, Lev Amatov.
15:00He invited us and random backbenchers.
15:04I mean, me and Josh told him she shouldn't bother,
15:06but she was adamant for some reason.
15:08Did you get the investment?
15:09No.
15:10Of course we didn't.
15:11Anything I got was that food poisoning.
15:12Do you remember the food poisoning I got?
15:13Oh, yeah.
15:14Famous squid.
15:16Famous squid, yes.
15:16Disgusting.
15:17Please.
15:18Gotta go.
15:19Oh, listen, don't forget.
15:20Tonight is Fiona's parent-teacher thing.
15:22We are under strict instructions to not
15:24wear anything embarrassing, okay?
15:26As far as she's concerned, that's impossible.
15:28Love you.
15:29All right.
15:30Love you too.
15:35I spoke to GCHQ and Langley.
15:37They haven't heard any chatter coming out of Malta
15:39other than the Gozo bus,
15:40so it probably is the reason Moscow flagged it.
15:44Probably isn't enough.
15:45We'll regroup as soon as Julie's got a closer look at Echo.
15:49What's the news on her brother?
15:50We've moved him to a hostel in St. Petersburg.
15:53As soon as you pull her out,
15:54we'll have him on his way to the border.
16:27That's a nice brochure.
16:31Look at the date.
16:33Look at who was there.
16:36It was two weeks before Lev made his first donation
16:38to Harry Comrade's charity.
16:40Well, that's not a very subtle quid pro quo, is it?
16:42Exactly.
16:44So why not declare it?
16:46To stop the press from finding out
16:47she's got ties to an oligarch.
16:49It's not a very good look for the Home Office.
16:51So, you're going to ask her about it?
16:53I think I'll start with Angela White.
16:57It's Julie.
16:59What's the news?
17:01I can't see her.
17:02I've only got a limited fee on the terrace,
17:04but Matty is giving Sandra his breakfast.
17:08Stay where you are
17:09and call me the second you see anything different.
17:23Well, if it is what you say it,
17:25it'll be a game changer, couldn't it?
17:27No, I think we should wait.
17:28Timing's not right at the moment.
17:30Okay, okay, I'll call you then.
17:35All right.
17:37A video involving a certain female politician
17:39has just been brought to my attention.
17:41Okay, what kind of video?
17:43We'll just use our imaginations.
17:45What sex video of Imogen Comrade?
17:47It sounds implausible,
17:49but I have that good authority.
17:51Well, how do you know it's going to leak?
17:52I don't.
17:53I've just been tipped off on it, not it.
17:54I who?
17:54A journalist.
17:55I don't know.
17:56It doesn't matter who, does it?
17:57We just need a strategy in case it does.
18:00Of course, I sincerely hope it doesn't.
18:01It has nothing to do with us, will it, Ryan?
18:11You wanted to see me.
18:13Mrs. White, I'm not sure if you remember me.
18:15Of course I do.
18:16You gave no quarter to the committee,
18:18which strikes me as a good quality in your line of work.
18:21Let me sign you in.
18:22I think it's better if we take a walk.
18:24Is that okay?
18:27I was at the Montenegro conference
18:28because Lev asked them to be,
18:29and I made no secret of that.
18:31Save the trouble, he is a donor.
18:32To my local party, it seemed like a reasonable ask.
18:35Did the Home Secretary discuss her goals for the trip?
18:38I barely saw her.
18:39I assumed she was there as a favour to Lev like me,
18:41but she didn't seem to be taking any of it very seriously.
18:44What do you mean by that?
18:46She wasn't at any of the talks.
18:47She seemed, let's put it this way,
18:50otherwise occupied.
18:52With what?
18:53She spent an awful lot of time
18:54horsing around with her aide.
18:57There were two of them, I think.
18:58One of them was laid up with a tummy bug.
19:00It was the other one, John.
19:01Josh.
19:02Josh, you're along.
19:03Good-looking chap.
19:04Maybe there was nothing going on.
19:06But I can't say that I've ever entirely trusted her.
19:10Look, you're putting words in my mouth.
19:12I didn't say I was ruling her out,
19:13but that doesn't mean
19:14that you can rule her in.
19:17Of course she isn't behind Ryan Walker's
19:18referendum bollocks.
19:19No, it's...
19:21X.
19:21Come on.
19:22The only thing that X is a guide to
19:23is Elon Musk's
19:24artificially infected testosterone.
19:26See ya.
19:27Can I have that for my manifesto?
19:29We can't hold out for much longer.
19:30We need to get out there
19:31ahead of Ryan.
19:32Okay?
19:33I need more coffee.
19:36What do you think I should do, love?
19:38I always said Ryan's smarter than he looks.
19:41It's a wrecking ball.
19:43He hasn't even started on us yet.
19:45Then you need to stop him.
19:49Simon.
19:50Hello.
19:52Is the Foreign Secretary
19:54taking mind-altering drugs?
19:55Yes, sadly.
19:56He is a full-blown crack addict now.
19:58Simon.
20:05Melissa.
20:06It's Kate.
20:07You used to work with my husband, Stuart,
20:08the Guardian.
20:09We met at the Christmas party.
20:11Oh, you're the civil servant.
20:12Home office, or was it with MOT?
20:15I actually work for SIS.
20:17We're investigating an issue
20:18with the Foreign Secretary's security.
20:21What was that?
20:22Yesterday.
20:23We were running a routine off in Lisbon
20:25and we noticed he left the summit venue
20:26without his protection officers.
20:28I wasn't aware.
20:29No?
20:30So there's no cause for concern
20:32over his security detail?
20:34Not so far as I know, no.
20:36He went to meet Lev Amatov,
20:37is that right?
20:38A reception at a private villa.
20:41Oddly enough,
20:41we can't seem to find a record
20:43of the event in the official schedule.
20:44Well, Lev's a personal friend
20:46of the Foreign Secretary.
20:46That's in his secret.
20:48What about the fact that
20:48Dmitry Krumsov was there too?
20:53That's a massive allegation.
20:57You'll have to speak
20:57to the Foreign Secretary about it.
20:58I'm sure he'd be keen to avoid
21:00a diplomatic scandal,
21:01given the fact he's just
21:03announced his leadership bid.
21:05What do you expect me to do about it?
21:07Talk to me, Melissa.
21:10Does Ryan often go AWOL?
21:11Does he shut you out of things?
21:14He might be running the country soon.
21:17Could Stuart Tide come to me?
21:19Of course not.
21:20This is between us.
21:23You've got to go.
21:24If you want to talk more.
21:28In confidence, of course.
21:44Thank you, Mark.
22:01I have eyes on her.
22:02She's playing part with Sandra
22:03and she just sent a text
22:04saying she's fine.
22:05Still looks normal.
22:06I told you not to send her
22:07any more messages.
22:08I didn't.
22:09Then why is she answering
22:10a question you didn't ask?
22:13Can you send me the pictures?
22:14I'll go on back now
22:15and take a look at them.
22:16All right, now.
22:18Bill.
22:19Stuart.
22:21You all right?
22:23Did you tell your wife
22:24who you forgot to mention
22:25works for SIS,
22:26what we discussed in Manchester
22:27in confidence?
22:28No, I may have mentioned
22:29something to her about
22:30you being unhappy.
22:31Okay, what happens at conference
22:32days at conference
22:33in at the Golden Rule, mate?
22:34Nothing that anyone
22:34couldn't have guessed, is it?
22:36Huh?
22:36I'm sorry, though.
22:37Really, I, uh...
22:38So what, did Kate say
22:39something to you?
22:41I don't want things
22:42to turn dirty, Stuart.
22:44That's not why
22:45I got into politics.
22:46Then why are you working
22:46with Ryan Walker, then?
22:49Huh?
22:50Does that make sense?
22:53It's no business being
22:54anywhere near Downing Street,
22:56and you know that,
22:56and I know that you know.
22:57Listen to me.
22:58Listen.
22:59There is always room
23:00for someone like you
23:02in our office.
23:03I know that to be true.
23:05I know the image
23:06on what's that people
23:07but I know it.
23:10Just think about it.
23:13Just never think.
23:22Stop.
23:23Go back one.
23:25You see that
23:25on the edge of the frame?
23:27They're playing cards.
23:28Why would they
23:29need security?
23:35I just got another text.
23:36She's requesting a meet?
23:39I hope your mom is okay.
23:41We'd be good to see her soon.
23:43We can see a security guard
23:44in one of your shots.
23:46So?
23:46I think she's been blown.
23:48She's answering questions
23:49we didn't ask her.
23:50She's being chaperoned,
23:51and now all of a sudden
23:52she wants a meet.
23:56Okay.
23:58What next?
24:00I'll talk to Zach.
24:02But I think I'm going
24:03to have to go back.
24:09You think her meet request
24:10is a setup?
24:11I don't know,
24:12but something feels off.
24:14And now we know
24:15Malta's on the alert list
24:15as of last night.
24:17Can you authorize a team
24:18to extract her?
24:23It's too risky, Kate.
24:26Best case we'd get you
24:27there in two days.
24:28But we need the
24:29foreign secretary
24:30to sign off putting weapons
24:31through the diplomatic pad.
24:32I don't have two days.
24:34I'd have to go unarmed.
24:36I can't advise that.
24:38As your SO,
24:40equal security will be
24:41armed to the teeth
24:41and there might be
24:42more on the way.
24:44I'm sorry,
24:45but the answer's no.
24:48We've got no idea
24:50how it's going to go down
24:50out there,
24:51which is exactly
24:51what Moscow always wants.
24:55We're just going to have
24:56to hope you're wrong
24:57and
24:58Echo hasn't been blown.
25:11I'm not leaving her there.
25:13You made the right call.
25:14There are too many
25:15unloans.
25:15I made a promise to her
25:17and to Lexay.
25:18I know how much
25:19your agents matter to you.
25:20It's why you got this job,
25:21but you have to know
25:22when an op goes
25:23beyond your control.
25:24I'm not leaving her there,
25:25Rose.
25:27Suppose that's right.
25:28You walk into a trap.
25:29I can handle it.
25:30Surely,
25:31your priority
25:32has to be
25:35has to be
25:36protecting the
25:37Russia desk.
25:38If any of you
25:39were compromised out there,
25:40it would take weeks
25:41to get a new team
25:42up to speed,
25:43by which time
25:44Moscow's asset
25:44would be in
25:45Downing Street.
25:46It's a chance
25:46I'll have to take.
25:50You take a break,
25:52okay?
25:53Go home.
25:54See your kids.
25:56Shit, Fiona.
26:10There she is.
26:11Tell me if you pay off.
26:13Nice of you to show off.
26:14Sorry I'm late, darling.
26:16Have I missed?
26:17It's the same old story.
26:18She's got a fantastic brain
26:19when she's focused,
26:21but she is too easily
26:22distracted.
26:23Wow.
26:23Okay.
26:24That's the image
26:25and she's in.
26:27Okay.
26:27Right, so I'm going to
26:28shoot off.
26:29So we have done
26:30everything apart from
26:30history and politics
26:32and this is the cue
26:32for the A-level choices.
26:33Stu, I'm going to have
26:34to work late tonight as well.
26:34Love you, darling.
26:35Bye-bye.
26:39Next.
26:40Mom!
26:42Sorry.
26:43Oh, hello.
26:47Do I have 8,000 pounds?
26:498,000, thank you.
26:508,50, 9,000, 9,000, 10,000.
26:54So I have 10,000 pounds
26:56for this gorgeous
26:57Matisse lithograph.
26:59Do I have...
27:0011,000, thank you, sir.
27:0212,000.
27:03Do I have 13,000?
27:0514,000.
27:07Shall we round it up,
27:08Mr. Amitow?
27:0915,000 for such a great cause.
27:16Sold!
27:1615,000 pounds
27:17for the kind gentleman here.
27:21I'm so sorry, James.
27:22He's been held up.
27:23Can we push it back
27:24for 20 minutes, please?
27:27Well, right now
27:27he's the only candidate
27:28so of course he's going to win.
27:30I've seen that
27:30if you're a member
27:30Melissa thinks
27:31that the players
27:32have to toxic masculinity.
27:35Melissa's a millennial Puritan.
27:36Trust me,
27:37anyone with ovaries
27:37will just be bitching
27:38about Images's figure.
27:40Either way,
27:40it'll force her to pull out
27:41if she's got the balls
27:42to stand against you.
27:43Still, it's a hefty price
27:44for her to have to pay.
27:45I don't know how about
27:45this type actually is.
27:46If you want to win,
27:47you've got to play
27:47everything in your hand.
27:48I'll have measures
27:49on to get you anyway.
27:50So sorry, Torell.
27:51I have to drag him away
27:52for the Times interview.
27:53You can do it in the car.
27:54Oh, okay.
27:55I'll sleep later.
27:57After you.
28:09Please tell me
28:10the tip-off
28:10about the tape
28:11didn't happen
28:11at the Lisbon party.
28:12No, of course not.
28:14Does it exist?
28:16Was it filmed
28:17by the Russians?
28:18Yes, it exists.
28:19I've told you,
28:20I've got no idea
28:20if filmed the bloody thing
28:21or who's in it with her.
28:22Okay, if it's real
28:23and there's any hint
28:23that you were behind the leak,
28:25you know that it would sink us.
28:26I sink her first, surely.
28:27Not necessarily.
28:28A personal smear like this
28:29could make a heroine of her,
28:31especially if the Kremlin
28:31are behind her.
28:32There's no evidence of that.
28:33Doesn't matter.
28:34The right-wing press
28:35will have a field day.
28:36They'll say you're like
28:37one of Moscow's fellow travellers
28:38like the old left.
28:40Where's Lev Amatov
28:41at the Lisbon party?
28:43He's Amanda's friend,
28:44not mine.
28:45He's also got a Russian passport,
28:46family ties to Putin.
28:47Yes, he's also
28:48a British citizen
28:49who earned his money here
28:50fair and square.
28:51Do you know,
28:51we're happy enough
28:52to use his money
28:52to proper public spending.
28:54He just dropped
28:5450 grand in there
28:55on student scholarships.
28:57Is there anyone else
28:58out there that you know about?
29:00You are making a mountain
29:01out of a molehill with this.
29:03Okay, you took a huge risk.
29:04I'm sure people already know
29:05that you went off
29:06without your PPO's.
29:06I want people!
29:07There were 50 of you minutes
29:08of staying at the same hotel, Ryan.
29:10Look, could we just leave
29:11the cross-question
29:11to the journalists, please?
29:13I've really got to take this.
29:16John, hi.
29:17Sorry, I'm up to my ears.
29:19Now?
29:20You're landing on something now?
29:22I'm a public figure,
29:23in case you haven't noticed.
29:24Jesus.
29:26John, John.
29:27No, no, no, no.
29:28No, no.
29:29Construction
29:29was meant to be
29:30your expertise.
29:32Offering finance
29:33was mine.
29:33Do not get in this car
29:34until I tell you.
29:36My lark goes under now.
29:37I am seriously
29:38a police police officer.
29:40You get fired
29:41or better kill
29:41your fucking mouse,
29:42John.
29:51You can solve all you like.
29:52You're not spending
29:52the weekend at Jay's.
29:54Not after what
29:54your teachers said tonight.
29:56Why could I see
29:56my boyfriend
29:57when I'm not at school?
29:58If you make a mistake,
29:59Fiona,
30:00I'm not stupid.
30:01You've known this guy
30:02for five minutes.
30:04Have this conversation
30:05with Dad,
30:06see what he says.
30:06Dad's not the
30:07paranoid workaholic.
30:09I know I've been
30:10away a lot recently.
30:11Think you like
30:12getting away from us?
30:14It's bad timing,
30:15but I have to go away
30:16again tomorrow.
30:18Oh, for God's sake.
30:19I'll get the boss home.
30:39Robert Pester.
30:41Are you alone?
30:42Yeah, I am.
30:44Oh, this is
30:45strictly off the record.
30:50Here he is, Monsieur Laurent Sauvert.
30:53He's a Swiss national.
30:54I was able to track him from Crimson's Lisbon Villa back to his hotel.
30:58Who is he?
30:59I have no idea yet, but a man doesn't show up on our radar,
31:02or anywhere else for that matter.
31:04Well, that tells us something.
31:05Mm-hmm.
31:09So, um, do you have any more thoughts about Malta?
31:13A few.
31:14Yeah?
31:15We deliberately made the approach to the church long,
31:18so even if this meet is a set-up,
31:21the Russians won't want her to deviate from our plan,
31:24which will stretch them.
31:25And that's my chance.
31:27Well, you intercept her en route.
31:29I've got some ideas about that, too.
31:32Oh, fuck.
31:33Yeah, I'm gonna need a drink.
31:37I think this is still good.
31:41Yeah. Do you want one?
31:42No, thanks.
31:44Oh.
31:45Are you gonna tell Julie that you're all thinking of going rogue?
31:50There's every chance they'll fire me, Rav.
31:52I can't do that to either of you.
31:53And forget about the suits.
31:56Like, you can't do this on your own.
32:00You should go and make friends with your bed.
32:03Get some rest and then decide whether you want to throw your entire career away.
32:08If you stop drinking that shit now...
32:11I'll let you know in the morning.
32:12Yeah.
32:21Our understanding is that with four days to go, the Home Secretary Imogen Conrad will join the leadership contest tonight.
32:28We're expecting her announcement within the next...
32:31Are you ready?
32:31Who's out there?
32:32Everyone.
32:34Hurry.
32:37You've got this, I'm all.
32:41Wish me luck.
32:46Good luck.
32:54It is my great and timely pleasure to announce my campaign to be the next leader of our party and
33:02of our great country.
33:16To join the waiting press corps.
33:19And we need to cut away from that now for some pretty sensational news about the other leadership candidates.
33:25In the last few minutes, our political editor, Robert Peston, has broken a bombshell of a story, to put it
33:31mildly, concerning the Foreign Secretary, Ryan Walker.
33:34The allegation that Mr. Walker slipped away from his personal protection team at the NATO summit in Lisbon this week
33:42and went to a party with the Russian Foreign Minister, Dmitry Krimsov, hosted by frequent donor to numerous British political
33:50parties, Lev Amatov.
33:53This is an absolutely extraordinary story. Our Foreign Secretary, Ryan Walker, having a private meeting with his Russian...
33:58Okay, we've got an hour to calm the storm or this race is over.
34:01Yeah, I think you should stay quiet.
34:02No, no, no, you should stay quiet. They'll crucify you.
34:04Look, we just set it with some freelance diplomacy.
34:06Free Ukraine, that might have worked. But now...
34:09Well, have you got any better ideas?
34:10I'm just saying, in this current climate, it looks shady as hell.
34:12Yeah, well, maybe I have no choice but to go to that fucking party.
34:14Yeah, well, I hope you hang whoever leaked it.
34:16Oh, don't worry. I'm on it.
34:19Okay. News at 10 are asking for you. If you come clean now, perhaps we can salvage this.
34:23Okay, well, just call Bloody Pest and tell them to get here immediately.
34:25Too late. We won't make the end of the show.
34:27Well, then tell them to extend it.
34:31Okay.
34:37Well, as we said, we've extended the program tonight after we were told the Foreign Secretary wanted to give us
34:42some context for our explosive revelations earlier.
34:46And I'm pleased to say Robert is with him right now. Robert.
34:49Thanks, John.
34:50Uh, Foreign Secretary, you had a private meeting at a Lisbon party, of all things, with the Foreign Minister of
35:00Russia, a hostile state.
35:01You were not accompanied by any officials. There are no notes of the meeting.
35:05There was a clear breach of protocol. National security has been put at risk.
35:10Your colleagues say to me that you should resign and give up all ambitions to be leader of their party.
35:16I won't be resigning any time soon, Robert.
35:18Why on earth not?
35:20In the business of diplomacy, it's sometimes worth taking a risk, even a personal one.
35:24What on earth were you thinking of?
35:26Look, it was a social gathering, right, hosted by a very well-known British party donor where Dmitry Krymsov was
35:32again.
35:32Did you expect Krymsov to be there?
35:35I did expect Krymsov to be there.
35:36So why didn't you take your officials?
35:38Well, it's not a widely publicized fact that Dmitry Krymsov lost his only son last year.
35:43And it's fairly well-known that my wife and I, sorry, we lost our only child, also a boy, three
36:03years ago.
36:10Sorry.
36:11And I wanted to express my private sympathy, Tim, in the hope that we might find some common ground, man
36:19-to-man, if I'm allowed to say that these days.
36:21I imagine I speak for everybody watching that, you know, obviously I feel for you enormous compassion given the tragedy
36:31that you suffered.
36:33But what do you think you actually achieved?
36:35How many people do you know would be bold enough to walk in that door and sit down with Dmitry
36:39Krymsov?
36:40How many people do you know would try to better that diplomatic relationship between Europe and Russia?
36:45I'd like you to name someone in the Cabinet that you would have that confidence in.
36:49Thank you, Robert. Robert Peston there with the Foreign Secretary.
36:51And that was quite some interview. This leadership race is certainly hotting up.
36:57Let's move on to some of the day's other news now, and having promised repeatedly that...
37:14Kate.
37:18Sorry to have summoned you so late, Mrs. Henderson. I've been on national television fighting for my political life.
37:23I saw. I'm sorry.
37:26So you won't mind if I ask you a few simple questions?
37:29Of course.
37:31Did you know about my meeting with Dmitry Krymsov?
37:34Yes.
37:35How?
37:35Some basic detective work.
37:39I'm the Foreign Focking Secretary, your boss. I don't need any covert surveillance.
37:44I understand Kate had concerns about your personal security.
37:51Did you leave my meeting to the press?
37:53No.
37:54You sure about that?
37:55Absolutely.
37:56Do you think I don't know who your husband works for?
37:59If you have a problem with my husband, I suggest you take it up with him, Foreign Secretary, or Imogen
38:03herself.
38:05Well, you'll admit, you don't like my politics, do you?
38:08I'm a civil servant. Your politics are none of my business.
38:13Is there anything else you'd like to tell him, Kate?
38:18No.
38:19Unless Mr. Walker would.
38:22Do you think I would take the trouble to come here if I'd done anything underhand?
38:26It's not my job to say, sir.
38:28My job is to help keep you safe.
38:30If we failed to do that here at SIS, then I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it
38:36is deeply regrettable.
38:40Well, if you've no more questions, Foreign Secretary.
38:46Take this as an official warning.
38:51Do not meddle with the democratic process.
39:12Hiya.
39:13Hi.
39:14Did you see it? What a fucking night.
39:17Front row seat.
39:18I mean, Meg's already asked for his resignation. He's cooked. He's done.
39:21Well, I think it's going to take more than this to kill him off.
39:23I mean, maybe, but it now means that Imogen is officially in the fucking race.
39:29Can I ask you something?
39:31Yeah?
39:32Do you think Imogen's ever been unfaithful?
39:35Well, to Harry?
39:37I mean, no, not that I know of why.
39:42Forget it.
39:44Katie, if you've heard something about that I could really do with knowing, you know, especially given she's now declared.
39:48No, forget about it. I just wanted your opinion.
39:51Alright.
39:53You okay? You had a rough night?
39:55I've had better.
39:59Anything you can talk about, or...?
40:03I was accused of passing intel about the Crimsoff meeting to you.
40:08To me?
40:10Well, who's accused you? Zach?
40:13Man of the moment. Ryan Walker.
40:16I mean, honestly, do they think we'd be that fucking stupid?
40:18Apparently so.
40:23No.
40:24Did you know that?
40:26About Ryan meeting Crimsoff? I mean, is that what that trip was about?
40:29I can't talk about it.
40:30No, you can't talk about it, but given the fact that you are investigating...
40:32We're not. And that's it, Stuart. I can't talk about it.
40:35Alright.
40:37Sorry.
40:43Well...
40:43Bloody hell.
40:45Well, we better win then, eh?
40:46I'm a civil servant. I can't comment.
40:49Yes.
40:49Your neutrality is noted as ever.
40:52I'm not joking, Stuart.
40:53I'm not joking.
40:59I'm really sorry, but I have to go away again tomorrow.
41:02I'll be gone before you're up, though.
41:04Okay.
41:06What?
41:08Is it something serious, or...?
41:11It's a potentially hostile environment.
41:17We have to go through.
41:18We have to go through.
41:31We can see him.
41:31Let's go out.
41:32We have to go out soon.
41:32We have to go out soon, et cetera.
41:35We have to go out soon.
41:36We have to go out soon.
41:42Alright.
41:42I'll try out soon.
41:45I'll find out soon.
41:46what Anderson knows.
41:50Malta is not the best place to die.
41:54Only stupid.
41:58Confirm the meeting in the church this morning.
42:03Now.
