(WIND GUSHING)
Welcome to Libya. I think
you'll have everything you need.
- Everything I need to do what?
- To modify the MERS virus.
To make it more contagious
and more deadly.
Vincent, move!
- (SCREAMING) Vincent!
- Dr Moss, I have a patient for you.
ANDREW: The pilot from K962 was shot
and killed in a hotel in Malta
this morning.
His partner Gemma Rogers
is at the British Consulate.
She flies into Northolt
later on today.
- Voltov have someone inside MI6.
- (PANTING)
She doesn't know who she can trust.
She's gone dark.
We need to arrange a safe house
for Gemma.
- We have to go outside the service.
- I'll get a team from Special Branch.
(GASPING)
- Don't.
- Why are you doing this?
(GUNFIRE)
You're bleeding.
- It's just a graze. (PANTING)
- Who was that?
Zara?
I thought she was my friend.
(GUNSHOT)
(GUNSHOTS FIRED)
Behind you!
Get in.
He's still behind you.
Nicely done. (PANTING)
(MOBILE RINGING)
(BUSY TONE)
(MOBILE RINGING)
- Karen?
- Is Andrew there?
- He went home.
- OK, thanks.
(CAR HORN BLARING)
Hey, Andrew.
What is this?
Have you spoken to Karen?
Not since early this evening.
Why? Has something happened?
Is she OK?
Karen's compromised.
She's working for Voltov.
You expect me to believe that?
She lied to you.
She lied to both of us.
- Where's Gemma Rogers?
- She's dead.
Karen said she'd bring in a team
from Special Branch.
I handed Gemma over,
and they killed her.
It's true. I was there.
(SIGHS) This is insane.
Listen. Listen. She played you. OK?
- She played both of us.
- How do I know you're not playing me?
Because you know me.
Do you really believe that?
She lied to me too,
and I'm really fucking confused
- and angry about it.
- OK.
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why would Karen do that?
I don't know. Maybe Yuri Mishkin
has some kind of hold over her.
She said something about
how they took everything from her.
What? Andrew, what?
Oh, no! She knows.
Oh, she knows
what really happened to her mum.
What do you mean?
(SIGHS)
Karen's mum was deep cover.
She was working as a PA
to an arms dealer,
who was going to supply plutonium
to ISIS.
Western security agencies
couldn't let it happen.
There was no time to pull Karen's
mum out. They ordered a drone strike.
Karen was told
her mum died in a car crash.
I asked her to marry me.
I know.
(MOBILE RINGING)
It's her. Don't answer. If she knows
I talked to you, she'll run.
(MOBILE CONTINUES RINGING)
You've got to report her, Andrew.
You don't have a choice.
You need to stay off the grid
until I sort this mess out.
Andrew.
What are you doing?
Zara was here.
She's gone.
What did she say to you?
I don't know what she told you,
but she's lying.
Don't! Please.
Have you reported me?
I had to hear it from you first.
Was it Yuri Mishkin who told you
what really happened to your mum?
I wanted to tell you.
I couldn't. It was classified.
I don't blame you.
You were only following the rules.
- It was an operational decision.
- Please
don't justify it to me.
Sorry.
Do you know how it feels to grow up
with no one who loves you?
No.
My foster parents fed me
and clothed me, but they didn't
they never held me.
They never told me they loved me.
I used to watch other people with
their parents, and I was so jealous.
And what about us? Hmm?
Is this real,
or are you just playing me?
I've hated lying to you.
I love you. It's true.
(VOICE TREMBLING)
(BOTH CRYING)
You have to come clean.
Tell them everything.
Cut a deal.
Oh, Karen.
It's over.
(WHIMPERS)
(KAREN CRYING)
- KAREN: I love you.
- (SUPRESSED GUNSHOT)
(GASPING)
(KAREN SHUSHING SOFTLY)
(ANDREW GASPING)
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
(SIGHS)
I need an ambulance.
It's my partner. He's been shot.
Will there be people looking for you?
There is someone.
Maybe she thinks I'm dead.
But if she knows I'm alive
she'll come for me, for sure.
- Is is she your girlfriend? Sorry.
- (GROANS)
No. A friend.
There's no sign of infection.
(WHISPERING) The layout
of the building.
- How many guards outside the lab?
- There's never been more than two.
- Do you have a plan?
- I'm working on it.
- What if you can't find a way out?
- Do you trust me?
Yes.
I'm getting us out of here. OK?
(CAR DOOR OPENS)
- You need to eat something.
- I think I've figured out
who Voltov abducted from the plane.
- Who is she?
- Dr Rachel Moss.
She a virologist.
Before she moved to Madrid,
she worked on the biological
weapons program at Porton Down.
I think Voltov are developing
a biological weapon.
That's not good.
Have you heard from Andrew?
(MOBILE RINGING)
- Andrew?
- Zara?
Why are you answering Andrew's phone?
Where are you? I can come meet you.
Just tell me where you are.
- Andrew's dead, isn't he?
- I think you already know that.
It was Karen. She killed him.
She's compromised.
Karen's in pieces.
- How could you do that to her?
- I didn't.
We've got CCTV of you
entering Andrew's apartment
just before his body was found.
Karen's setting me up.
She's working for Voltov.
Do you have any proof?
Yuri Mishkin abducted a virologist
from flight K962.
I think he's trying to develop
a biological weapon.
This virologist, do they have a name?
Dr Rachel Moss. I think
Mishkin's holding her in Benghazi.
Dr Moss' body was retrieved
from the fuselage of the plane.
- What? Are you sure?
- Zara.
Tell me where you are.
I'll bring you in.
If you resist, they'll shoot you.
- Just tell me where you--
- (DISCONNECTS LINE)
Karen framed me.
I'm wanted for murder. You should go.
I didn't mean to drag you into this.
You need to lay low
- while I figure this out.
- Why won't you let me help you?
- I can help you.
- It's better if I do this alone.
You always push people away.
- I'm trying to protect you.
- No.
You're trying to protect yourself.
Go. Go!
(KAREN CRYING) I thought we were
going to have a life together.
It's all gone.
I didn't want this.
I know. I know you didn't.
You didn't have a choice.
I should have handed myself in
and Andrew'd still be alive.
No. Don't say that.
I wish I was there to hold you.
(SOBBING) I I don't think I can
hold it together.
You are stronger than you think.
From the first moment
I looked into your eyes,
I knew how strong you were.
People like us
have the will to do what
what others won't do.
That is how we survive.
How we rise to the very top.
If you don't think you
you can go on,
then I will pull you out.
You are more important to me
than anything.
You are all that really matters.
(INHALES) I'll see it through.
I know you will.
What are we going to do about Zara?
She's the only one who suspects that
Rachel Moss didn't die on that plane.
We cannot let her live.
I know.
(THUDS, GROANING)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING, BONES SNAP)
(PANTING)
(HINGES CREAKING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
(INHALES DEEPLY)
(THUDDING)
(MUFFLED) We need to go.
Use the intercom.
- I said, "We need to go."
- I have to take the virus.
- I can't leave it here.
- OK. Make it quick.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
That way, OK.
(RATCHET WHIRRING)
All we have to do
is drive out of here.
- (GROANS)
- That easy, huh?
Stay down.
(ENGINE DOESN'T START)
- (CURSES IN FRENCH)
We need to find another vehicle.
(MACHINE GUN FIRE)
It's armoured plated. It's OK.
The bullets can't go through.
(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)
- You see? It's OK.
- Mmm-hmm.
What are they doing?
I'm divorcing my husband.
- What?
- We're getting divorced.
I just thought that you should know.
Which is weird given the situation.
But I just thought that you
might want to know that.
YURI: Dr Moss?
Vincent?
Have you ever been
in an armoured vehicle
that's been hit with an RPG?
(BOTH SIGH)
- Not recently.
- Terrible for the eardrums.
The ringing never goes away.
If you blow us up
you'll discharge the virus.
Then I guess we'll just have
to drill holes through the windows,
and pump in tear gas.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
He won't hurt you, OK.
- He needs you too much.
- OK.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
YURI: Take him away.
Chain him to the wall.
Watch him!
RACHEL: Please don't hurt him.
Without consequences,
there is no discipline.
As a mother, surely you know that.
SUZANNE: Karen.
I'm so sorry about Andrew.
I can't imagine how you must feel.
We've arranged an apartment
for you to stay in.
You should pack a bag.
Have you found Zara?
She was caught on camera
on the A465 just south of Hereford.
You know Zara. Can you think
of anywhere she might go to?
No.
We're here for you.
The service will support you
in any way we can.
Thank you.
(WATER RUNNING)
(MOBILE RINGING)
Zara was spotted in Wales.
I think I know where she's going.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
Hello?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Hi, Keane.
Zara?
It's been a while.
- Fuck you.
- Nice to see you, too.
Ya, don't give me that bullshit.
The only reason
you'd suddenly show up here
is because you're deep in shit
and you've nowhere else to go.
Tell me it isn't so. Mmm?
So fuck you with a cherry on top.
It's been a rough couple of days.
- Are you hungry?
- Starving.
ZARA: So, yeah,
I thought I knew Karen.
I trusted her. You trained her,
all the psychological profiles.
Is there anything that'd explain
why she'd do this?
- We nearly failed her.
- Why?
During her interrogation training
she broke down when
she was talking about her childhood.
All the stuff that happened
with her mum.
A lot of personal stuff
comes out in interrogations.
Yeah, I was so sleep deprived,
I don't even remember
- half the stuff I said.
- I do.
- You still think about Ishaan?
- Sometimes.
Still beating yourself up about
what happened?
We can't all be as functional as you.
I need somewhere to lay low
while I figure stuff out.
Well you're welcome to stay here.
There's just me and Matilda.
- You have a girlfriend?
- Matilda's my donkey.
There you go.
Do you not miss it,
being in the service?
I did, at first. Feeling that
you're doing something important.
But then I started doubting
the orders we were being given.
You can't do the job
if you're a cynical prick.
It was time for me to go.
Hey. It really grinds
your gears, doesn't it?
That you let Karen
into the inner sanctum,
and she took a massive shit
on the floor.
It's a beautiful analogy, Keane.
Good girl.
(MATILDA BRAYS)
If you let people get too close,
you hurt them
or they hurt you.
Are you worried about a piss test?
- That's the least of your problems.
- OK, OK.
You were never as tough
as everyone thought you were.
- Yeah, so why did you pass me?
- Your best friend died.
You felt responsible for it.
I knew you'd fight like hell,
so that wouldn't happen
to anyone else.
Am I wrong?
I left someone behind in Benghazi.
- Alive or dead?
- Alive.
That's what I'm telling myself.
I have to.
If they're dead, it's my fault.
I can't go there. Not again.
Oh, shit. (GROANS)
Why don't you, erm
throw a couple logs on the fire.
(MATILDA BRAYING)
- Get down!
- (SUPRESSED GUNSHOT)
Get down!
- See anyone?
- You're welcome to have a look.
Stay here.
A little something for a rainy day.
Yeah.
I'm too stoned for this.
Lucky I didn't crack out
the mushrooms.
If they have RPGs, we're screwed.
It could get a fire going
- and burn us out.
- Always the positive with you.
They're coming.
(SUPRESSED MACHINE GUN FIRE)
- (MATILDA BRAYING)
- If they harm one hair on her head.
It'll be dark soon.
We'll go for the Rover.
There's a lot of open ground
between here and there.
There's two cylinders to the left.
We'll blow them for cover.
It's definitely gonna start?
Cos it looks like a piece of shit.
- No offence.
- I rebuilt the engine myself.
That's supposed to make me
feel better?
It'll start!
Assuming the battery isn't flat.
I don't think it is.
Guess we'll find out.
(RAIN PATTERING)
Alpha 1.
- Do you see anything?
- MAN: Negative.
Bravo Team, cover the front!
It's gonna start.
(MACHINE GUN FIRE)
- Come on. Come on.
- (ENGINE CRANKING)
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- You beautiful bitch! Get in!
(ENGINE REVVING)
(MACHINE GUN FIRE)
(GROANING) Oh, fuck.
- Keane.
- Keep pressure on it.
(GROANS)
You know about Schrodinger's cat?
It's about a cat in a box
with radioactive material.
There's also a vial of poison
in the box.
The radioactive material could
trigger the release of the poison.
But who knows when?
The cat could be dead,
or it could be alive.
Until you open the box,
you don't know.
How am I to know
that you have done what you claim
to the virus, until I test it?
You see my problem?
I think I have a solution.
Come.
Now you'll see the fruits
of your labours.
