Vigil (2021) s03e02 Episode Script

1
What is that?
It's a gift for my friend.
Will you stay for a few more days?
I think I need to go home.
I need to gather my research.
Not an option. We have to go, now.
We're extracting you tonight.
[SHOUTING IN RUSSIAN]
We need to take the Chinese woman.
Daniel Hodge was serving as part of
a four-man Special Forces team
operating undercover in Svalbard,
up in the Arctic Circle.
It's nominally under Norwegian
control because of an historic treaty.
Military use is absolutely forbidden.
The job is to find out how Hodge
ended up dead in a Russian enclave.
We were thinking it would be best
if Detective Inspector Longacre
did the groundwork
with you overseeing things from here.
Kirsten Longacre.
I'm Henrik Becken, director of Svalbard.
We also have a police detective here.
He has come from Saint Petersburg.
- Hello.
- Professor Mair.
Five minutes and I can talk.
Any progress on the suspect?
His name is Jason Collyer.
Heavily involved
in the sharper end of eco-activism.
We'll need a full briefing
on the Shen Jia operation.
I've told you everything
I'm allowed to say about it.
Two shots to the chest,
about ten centimetres apart.
Jesus.
I think Hodge was murdered
here in this room
and then moved.
I think it's a trap being laid for us.
What, someone trying to push
Russia into conflict with Nato?
They might succeed.
[FAINT SCREAMING]
Help me, someone!
[TYRES SCREECH]
Control, this is DCI Silva.
I'm in pursuit of a black Ford Transit.
Two occupants, armed,
kidnap suspected on board.
They're moving north-east
down Simpson Road.
RADIO: Received. Armed response
units are being deployed.
Can you confirm your location and speed?
Currently passing Egham Street.
Jesus! Speed, 45mph.
Subject vehicle failing to stop.
RADIO: Do not engage.
Maintain observation only.
Control, subject vehicle has
turned down a one-way street.
Unable to pursue.
Do you have my location?
Location is confirmed.
Air support is en route.
Will attempt to find
an alternative route.
Let me know when air support has eyes.
Control, 51 has eyes on.
Black transit van confirmed.
Van is heading north under M8 flyover.
Speed reduced.
I found the van. Approaching.
Send backup.
RADIO: Confirmed. Approach with caution.
Firearms unit two minutes out.
Driver's side door is open.
Negative visual.
[SHE PANTS]
Do you want me on your mind ♪
Or do you want me to go on? ♪
I might be yours, as sure as I can say
Be gone, be faraway ♪
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh ♪
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh ♪
The Minister
for Energy and Green Transition
has been kidnapped by
a man named Jason Collyer.
Collyer has been involved in
several environmental actions.
He's a radical.
He's a very dangerous individual.
We think that he killed a government
adviser, Professor Vincent Mair.
He also held me at gunpoint,
so I need speed in finding him
and caution approaching him.
Mr Laity is due to appear
at Cop in a few days.
The media are paying attention,
so be discreet.
The last thing we want
is to give our suspect a platform.
DS Mitchell will cover the team
allocations with you now.
All right, Symonds, I'm going to
need you all over CCTV
Sir Ian is with the
minister's wife in room two,
if you'd like to join him.
This is why Korotayev
didn't have bullets to show you.
They're here.
Could these be ours?
No. These were left
when there was still
wet blood on the floor.
Can you take this?
I think
whoever shot Hodge
moved his body
and then tried to clean up.
- Is there any CCTV?
- No.
There aren't any cameras here
because we don't have crime.
[EVGENI SNIFFS]
This is an exception.
I think we're looking
at a man and a woman.
Roughly, what,
size ten and
uh, size five.
Blood over here, on the window.
We should check the ground beneath it.
Who's done this?!
A man called Jason Collyer.
Is that name familiar?
Is it about money? A ransom?
No, we don't think so.
This appears to be ideological.
A so-called environmentalist.
Well, why would they go after Gordon?
He actually believes in green energy.
I'm not sure we're dealing
with a rational individual.
Mrs Slater, could I ask,
did your husband ever talk to you
about his plans for energy security?
Sometimes he practises
his speeches on me.
He likes to know if the jokes are funny.
He has a big speech
coming up in a few days.
Did he run that one by you?
Amy, for God's sake,
this isn't an interview.
No, it's OK, Ian.
He said he had to rewrite that one.
How has he been lately?
He's been struggling a bit.
Quite stressed and
I don't know.
- Is it connected?
- No.
Jason Collyer is a thug
who's resorted to coercion.
How long
has he been particularly stressed?
Weeks.
There's so much he wants to do,
and there's never enough time.
He will have time, lots of it.
If you've got further questions,
perhaps you could email them to Sasha.
You've got the kids to
think about. Focus on them.
What the hell is wrong with you?
You gave her about five seconds
to absorb the news before you
peppered it with questions.
Oh, you're right.
I should have eased her in,
then asked her back next
week with any thoughts.
I mean, there's no rush.
If I were you, I'd drop the sarcasm,
failing to arrest a
suspect twice in 24 hours.
He had a gun.
What exactly did you want me to do?
A man was murdered with a bomb.
You decided you needed
to speak to Gordon,
but you didn't
think to brief his security detail.
I didn't realise there
was a threat to him.
Well, perhaps you should have
thought it through more carefully.
[TELEPHONE VIBRATES]
Yes.
TELEPHONE: Ma'am, we've got a
recent address for Jason Collyer.
- I'm headed there now.
- Get someone to send me the location.
Director
I think they threw
the body out the window
and collected it
from the ground outside.
I mean, it's less risky than
moving it through the corridor.
When you say "they"
Well, I've checked the boot room.
Now, the smaller boot matches
the size of Shen Jia's foot,
so I'm thinking it was probably
her and a male accomplice.
- OK, so she's our suspect?
- Mm-hm.
I'm going to need to search
the building.
If someone here has been helping her,
they could still be
hiding her in their room.
OK, so if we find her,
we arrest her
and bring her to the mainland.
On that basis, I can approve the search.
Very good. Let's take different
areas. Faster to split up.
I'm going to start with
the lower floors, all right?
Mm-hm.
You know he can't go
poking around where
Hodge's colleagues are.
I'm not discussing that.
I understand the situation
but, officially, I'm in the dark.
- Do you understand?
- Mm-hm.
Mm-hm?
I'll make a start.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
I'm doing a sanctioned
search of the entire building.
Do you have any objection
to me checking your room?
No. I was told you'd be coming.
If the Russian detective asks
to interview any of you
We'll tell him to do one.
You do need to talk to ME, though.
And so do your colleagues.
Before the ambush,
was everything going according to plan?
Hodge ran a bit late
because Jia insisted on
picking up stuff from her lab.
Apart from that, it was like clockwork.
And then, after the ambush,
you told your men
to split up to look for Jia.
- Is that right?
- Yes.
Is that the usual protocol?
I thought the Special Forces
always work in pairs.
Hodge suggested it.
I thought it was the right idea,
given the circumstances.
Hmm.
And once they got back here,
they reported to you immediately?
Anderson did, then Cunningham.
Can you think of any reason
why Hodge wouldn't have
reported to you immediately?
No.
He'd have known my number one priority
is getting everyone back safe.
We, uh, don't usually lose people.
I'm sorry.
How are your team holding up?
What do you think happened?
You've obviously got a theory.
Um
there's some evidence to suggest
he was shot dead
inside Shen Jia's room.
Why would he have gone to her room
before reporting back to you?
I have no idea.
You're searching the hub
for Shin Jia, aren't you?
I am, yeah.
- So, you searching my room is
- I'm searching every room.
Well, she's not in here.
My team are about to do
a grid search for her,
a 20 square mile patch.
They're not going to
appreciate you looking for her
under their own fucking beds.
Yeah, I understand your loyalty,
but somebody leaked the mission.
Either that's Westminster
or it's Shen Jia
because, outside the unit,
she's the only one who
knew what was happening.
Did she know where
the exact extraction point was?
No.
But the Russians did.
They were there waiting for you.
So it's Westminster, then.
My lads did their job.
We did exactly what
we were supposed to do.
Why does Russia want her?
That's above my paygrade.
We do what we're told.
Right, I think I'm done here.
You shouldn't be looking for Shen Jia.
If you find her, they'll kill you.
Do you understand that?
You can put her in handcuffs
and make all the plans
you want with Oslo,
but you'll still be dead within hours.
I need to carry on with my search.
[SHE SCREAMS]
Amy.
[RADIO CHATTER]
All right? Am I OK to look around?
I'm not asking your permission.
I'm checking if the
bomb squad's cleared it.
Uh, right. Yes, ma'am.
I believe you're good to go.
What have you found?
No electronics.
Looks like he's took his toothbrush.
Left a ton of paperwork.
Huh.
All right, send all this back to SCD.
Brief your team
to start going through it.
Yes, ma'am.
I was looking after her
and I lost track of her.
It's on me.
I'm told you were under fire.
It must have been stressful.
I told her to get down,
stay down, don't go anywhere.
When did you notice she
was no longer with you?
I didn't.
The boss came over,
asked where she'd gone, and
I thought she was still next to me.
Can I ask about Pickford?
He Well, he made the decision
to split you up to look for Jia.
Do you think that was
the right decision?
Why? 'Cos we lost a guy?
You can't judge how decisions
like that get made.
You have no idea
what it's like being under fire.
Are the Russians releasing Hodge's body?
I don't think so.
And do you know where Jia is?
No.
Do you think it's possible that it
was her who betrayed you?
She knew we were taking a risk for her.
She wouldn't do that.
You're certain about that?
- Anything?
- Nothing yet.
I'm going to check around the perimeter.
[DCI SILVA]: Did you get the image?
I did.
How long has this girl been with Jason?
Her neighbour thinks about a year.
Right.
The picture was taken at a
demo in Erlingham Valley last June
where environmentalists
protested hydroelectric power.
OK, well, give me a call
if you find a name for her.
No need. We're already on the
phone, and I've got her name.
It's Chloe Ackroyd.
Where are you?
In your offices.
OK, well, I'll come in.
I can email you.
It's getting pretty late,
and I know you've got kids.
I'll see you shortly.
Where is Henrik?
Uh I don't know.
I've found something.
No clothes or anything like that.
They've moved out.
- Did you look for prints?
- I did.
I didn't find anything
I could get a print off.
Looks a bit stale,
but nothing you couldn't eat.
So someone WAS here,
probably earlier today,
bringing her food.
For this kind of access, it
has to be someone who works here.
Yeah, I agree.
You didn't need to share this with me.
If it was me,
I might not have shared it with you.
I would have told Henrik and he
would have had to share it with you.
Thank you all the same.
So, the person who helped Shen Jia
I think I might have
something that helps us.
But before that,
I want to ask you a question.
Shen Jia disappeared during
the event that occurred, right?
Yes.
None of the British men
noticed her going.
Is that what you were told?
- I can't talk about this.
- Yes, of course.
None of us can discuss
something that never happened.
But
if it HAD happened?
You need to come to Baltegrad
when I tell you, all right?
Make some excuse and come,
and I will show you what I have.
I cannot invite you
there because, if I do,
they will try to observe
every move I do with you.
So will you wait for my message?
OK.
KIRSTEN ON TELEPHONE: I think Hodge
was killed in the institute building.
I think he was shot dead
in Shen Jia's room
and then his body was moved.
See, I think she's our main suspect.
Fuck. Does Sir Ian he know that?
No, not yet.
OK, I'll talk to him.
You think she's still on Svalbard?
Yeah, I do.
I mean, the flights are stopped,
so it'd be hard for her to leave.
And someone has been
helping her hide at the hub.
But she's gone now.
- Are you trying to find her?
- Yeah.
So I'm going to have to
figure out how to handle that.
Have the Norwegians make
an arrest and keep it simple.
Kirsten
what's going on?
Oh, it's nothing.
No
talk to me.
One of the SBS lot
told me that if I found Jia,
it would get me killed.
I think he was just trying
to keep me off their turf.
No, don't make excuses for them.
Nasty little shit.
That is absolutely not OK.
I need to speak to Sir Ian.
What? No, don't do that!
I need them on site.
I can't be seen running off
and crying to the boss, can I?
OK.
How are the kids?
They're small and needy,
but I quite like them.
Do you really want to know, or?
It was small talk.
Well, I'm exhausted and I haven't
seen them for 24 hours, so
shall we skip that?
How about I tell you
about Jason's girlfriend
while we wait for the pizzas?
Got you a spicy pepperoni.
Seemed like your type.
Sounds good.
A PhD in environmental sciences
and two arrests for trespassing,
linked to climate change protests.
No charges.
Last known address is a
couple of miles from here.
Good. I'll go and talk to her.
Have you seen the report
on Gordon Laity's emails
with Vincent Mair?
Not yet.
This one was sent at 8 am
on the day of the bombing.
Gordon Laity says
"You don't have to give your opinion.
"Just run them through the numbers.
"By your own admission,
the numbers looked good."
Then the minister sends a
follow-up, demanding a reply.
The gist of it is
he's unhappy with the professor.
But if the report was all good,
I don't understand why the professor
withdrew his support for the mining.
Something must have
happened in Svalbard.
Maybe someone changed his mind.
What are you suggesting?
I don't know.
Pressured or bribed
into dropping his support.
Feels like blackmail.
And then what?
The minister had him assassinated?
No, I'm 100% not saying that.
What about the emails
that Jason sent the minister?
Uh, well, this one stood out.
"I know you're going
to push this through
"regardless of what the
report says, and I've got proof.
"Rosyth 17, mate.
"I've got the receipts."
Rosyth's a dockyard town,
just down the road from here.
I know. I've lived here
for quite some time.
Right, then, Rosyth 17,
that's your homework for the morning.
Amy.
Jason Collyer's on the phone.
He wants to speak with you.
- Is it being recorded?
- Yeah.
Ready?
Jason, this is DCI Amy Silva.
TELEPHONE: Long day for you.
For all of us.
How's the minister?
Keeping me company.
Can I talk to him?
No, there's no point.
You can't trust a word he says.
What you CAN do is listen.
The Government has got 24 hours
to publish the truth about what they
are already doing on Svalbard.
And I want everything you know
about what happened to me
and Vincent Mair to be
put on a public website.
I can certainly pass on
your request to the Government.
But in terms of our investigation
into the lab explosion
unless other evidence comes
to light, you are our main suspect.
How stupid are you?
Why would I be trying to blow myself up?
Accidents happen when
dealing with home-made devices.
I was asked to go there.
I was the target!
Look
I've already told you what to do.
Full disclosure from
the Government, public website.
24 hours to get it done.
Jason, it could take longer than that.
Miss the deadline and I'll shoot him.
Clock's running, Amy.
- Nothing in the trace.
- Fuck.
Lorna, I've been asked to speak to you
about Professor Vincent Mair.
Why me specifically?
Well, he flew out to
speak to you, didn't he?
Yeah, about the report.
He wanted to go over the
numbers one last time.
You can see why he would.
It's his reputation, right?
We did the work,
but he has to deliver it
as the Government's adviser.
How did the meeting go?
I mean, good.
It was kind of a scramble
to get things ready
to show him the data sets,
all that stuff.
He was pleased
with what I showed him, though.
Why was it a scramble?
Were you not expecting him to visit?
I thought it might be
a few conference calls.
I didn't know it would be in-person.
And when did you find out?
Like, the day before he flew over.
Lorna, we know the professor
withdrew his support
for the seabed mining after coming here.
We know there are
questions about the report.
Why don't you tell me what was going on?
There might have been a
few errors, I'm not sure.
I inherited a real shitshow from
the person who set everything up here.
She was gone after a month,
and then they needed
someone last-minute.
I thought they'd have done a better job.
The professor had me trying
to answer questions
about her methodology.
Hmm. And who is this?
Her name's Siobhan Wilkinson.
If there ARE problems, it's on her.
They fired her. She obviously messed up.
[TELEPHONE VIBRATES]
I'm sorry. Got to take this.
DI Longacre.
TELEPHONE: You should come here, now.
What, can't it wait a few hours?
No. Find an excuse to see the mayor.
The evidence we have found suggests
that Daniel Hodge was
not killed in Baltegrad.
He was shot in the Institute Hub,
and then his body was moved here.
I have heard this allegation
from our own detective.
This is a vague story
told by a country that
cannot admit what it has done.
I understand that you are
embarrassed to be caught with soldiers
on demilitarised Svalbard.
To deal with this embarrassment,
it is easier to lie.
Can we be honest with each other now?
I'd appreciate that.
Neither side can admit what happened.
You know this.
I think that sounds plausible.
The problem for you is
that we don't have to admit it.
It is enough that we have
the body of Mr Hodge.
That is a problem for the UK
and for Nato, and for Norway.
I understand.
But
this outcome can be avoided.
We will give you the body of Mr Hodge
and all the other evidence that we have,
and we will agree
to forget this incident.
In return, you will bring us
the Chinese scientist Shen Jia.
I don't have her.
But you are looking for her.
So, if you find her,
you can call me
and the exchange will be made.
What do you want with her?
This is the deal on the table.
Shen Jia for Mr Hodge.
If you find her
call me.
Can I speak to Colonel Zamorin
while I'm here?
I have a few questions for him.
Of course.
We understand each other now.
It makes more things possible.
Kelly and Mitchell
are chasing some leads.
I'm going to speak
to Jason's girlfriend.
But, candidly,
we're nowhere on Jason's location.
24 hours is just not long enough.
We may have to show willing
regarding some of his demands.
We shouldn't be negotiating
with a terrorist.
But even if we decided
to abandon our principles,
he wants us to admit to
something that hasn't happened.
Either he's wasting
your time on purpose,
or he genuinely believes
there's a conspiracy.
And if that's the case,
then no amount
of evidence will change his mind.
He has no credible explanation
for being at the professor's lab.
He fled the scene when you told him
you were a police officer.
He's abducted a government
minister at gunpoint,
and he's threatening to murder him.
We need to focus on finding him.
Everything else is a sideshow.
Are we sure Jason's
allegations are baseless?
Professor Mair withdrew
his support for the mining
after he spoke to the lead scientist,
Lorna McAllister.
Did he have a problem with the report?
We don't know.
Kirsten feels like Lorna
was being evasive,
so we're tracking down her
predecessor, Siobhan Wilkinson.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
DCI Silva asked me to report on
any developments as they come in.
The results of the bomb squad's
search of the suspect's flat, ma'am.
Flat was clean, but one
of his sweatshirts
had traces of the same explosive
that was used
in the university lab bombing.
Full report on my desk,
if you don't mind.
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
I think explosives on a sweatshirt
are rather more concrete
than anything Jason Collyer is claiming.
I still feel like the minister
may have some questions to answer.
Maybe.
But can I suggest that we
bring him home alive first?
I want to show you something.
Come on.
Can't even download from this
machine because, if I do
or if I try to send an email,
it shuts down and reports me.
So you had to come.
Well, why the secrecy?
Because Korotayev will never give me
permission to show you this.
I'm not even sure he wants it to exist.
So, the night
your soldiers were ambushed,
one of our men took footage of the event
with a night-vision camera.
And there's more proof
of Nato illegal activities here.
I mean, this video is useless for us
because it shows that we are also
here with the soldiers, but
But this is the moment
I want you to look at.
Do you know who that man is?
You were told that nobody noticed
Shen Jia running away.
SOFTLY: Mm.
But that man gives her an order
and he watches her run.
I mean, either he lied to you
or his commanding officer.
Anyway, resolution is really poor,
as you see, and I
I really can't see his face but
I need his name, so this is
why I'm showing you this video.
Can you identify him?
I don't know who that is
but I can try and find out.
Will you share his name with me?
Yes.
OK.
Thank you. This has been helpful.
I'll bet you a month's salary
that this man will turn out
to have size-ten boots.
I think him and the Chinese lady
are the ones working together.
Well, I think they are
the ones who killed Hodge.
Call me when you hear
his name, all right?
Mm-hm.
Locating Shen Jia is the priority.
We'll focus on Lima 9 today.
I know you're knackered,
but if she's out there,
this ends one of three ways,
the Russians get her,
the bears her or we get her.
Let's make it us.
What do you want to
do about the detective?
[OUTBOUND CALL TONE]
Keep stringing her along.
TELEPHONE: Ma'am?
Get me everything you can
find on Mark Cunningham.
You, um, can sit there.
Do you have any ID?
- Like a driver's license or?
- I don't drive.
Well, a bank card will do.
Thanks.
[CAMERA SHUTTER TONE]
It's about your boyfriend, Jason.
Has he been arrested?
You don't sound surprised by that.
Yeah, well, he gets
arrested all the time.
We both do.
It's what happens when corporate
security
clashes with the public interest.
I take it you think
I'm corporate security?
Well, I think you work for the
interests of the Government,
and I work for the
interests of the planet.
Did he tell you what he was planning?
I have no idea what he's done.
Did you know of any kind
of relationship between Jason
and the Minister for Energy
and Green Transition?
I mean obviously,
we write to him the whole time
because he makes
the decisions we care about.
But, no, we don't know him.
What about any other advisers
linked with the Government?
Like who?
Professor Vincent Mair.
I think you recognise
that name. Am I right?
No.
Look, what's Jason done?
I want to know, or I'm not answering
any more of your questions.
He's wanted for kidnap and murder.
[SCOFFING]
He planted a bomb at the university.
No, no, he doesn't bomb things
and he doesn't kidnap people.
Chloe, he kidnapped someone
right in front of me.
Maybe you don't know him as well
as you think you do.
Do you think you could give him a call,
try and find out what's going on?
Because I think some of
the things that he's doing,
they do seem out of character.
If he asks me if I've been
contacted by the police,
I'm not lying.
ANSWERPHONE: The person you've
called is not available.
Please leave your message
after the beep.
Goes straight to answerphone.
That's what we got.
All right, well,
if he does contact you,
I want you to call me straight away.
I don't want anyone else to get hurt
including him.
I'll see myself out.
Jason's girlfriend recognised
Professor Mair's name.
It's enough to warrant surveillance.
How quickly can we put it together?
TELEPHONE: 90 minutes.
- Yeah, I'll babysit until then.
- Ma'am.
What the hell?
- Are you OK?
- I came to help you,
but I think my neighbour
saw me leaving Baltegrad.
I took pictures of things on my phone
from when I worked in the buildings.
I have them with me now.
- Can I see them?
- I can give them to you,
but you have
to get me off Svalbard first.
No, see, I need time
to do something like that.
I saw who moved the man's body.
I saw their face very clear.
Can you describe them?
I have to have safety first.
Look, I can't make any promises.
- I can try, but if the answer is no
- We have to go before
they send someone to look here.
Please, now.
If they find me with you,
they'll shoot us both.
Thanks for coming in.
You don't make it sound
like I had much of a choice.
What's getting built in dock 17?
Do you not need a
warrant to ask me that?
I don't need a warrant
to talk to you, no.
So, am I obliged to talk to you?
No, you're not.
But it's unusual
for people to refuse to answer
when the intelligence service
takes an interest.
The boat in dock 17 is one of three
that's been commissioned a year ago.
- It's a big job, high-spec.
- Who's the client?
- I shouldn't disclose
- Don't make me say it all again.
The Government, Department of Energy.
Can I have a quick
look at your staff roster?
Why is that?
Because the suspect in one of our cases
seems to have inside information
about the work you're doing.
How long has this girl
been working with you?
Tamsin?
About six months.
But she's off sick right now.
Should I give her a call?
No, don't do that.
In fact, it's important
that you don't mention
this conversation to her.
We need to find out more
about what's happened
before we approach her,
for her own safety.
Put everything you've
just told me into a report.
TELEPHONE: Are you still waiting
on a surveillance team?
Look, it's too late for that.
She's on the move.
I'm going to have to follow her on foot.
Do you want her car reg?
What if she told me she didn't drive?
She drives to work every day.
Shit.
I'll patch you through to control.
It's DCI Silva.
Jason's girlfriend's on the move.
Track my location. Send a team.
No sirens, no lights.
I don't want to spook her.
QUIETLY: OK, come, come.
Behind me.
Do you still have your phone with you?
I turned it off in Baltegrad.
Under no circumstances
do you leave this room.
Do you understand?
Thank you.
You're saving my life.
I'm not promising anything.
Are you sure you can identify
the person who moved the body?
I need to know
what you're offering them.
I can draw the face perfectly.
SOFTLY: OK.
If anyone knocks on this door
I hide and I make no sound.
Good. Walk out behind me, OK?
I didn't initiate any of this.
I definitely didn't offer her anything.
I only said I'd ask.
TELEPHONE: Look, I'll see what can be
done about getting her off Svalbard.
But for God's sake,
don't get caught sheltering her.
She's not going anywhere.
She's terrified.
Yeah
not without reason.
Are you alone?
Yeah, but my team's only
a few minutes behind me.
You all right?
Fine, thanks.
- Cunningham, I need to talk to you.
- What about?
I'm a senior officer.
I'll brief you afterwards
if I feel it's warranted.
Jesus! You all right?
Are you hurt?
I knew you'd be followed.
CHLOE: No, no, I checked behind me.
Not very fucking well!
Look, we should go.
No, she's got others coming.
We're not going to make it.
Jason, Jason, we need to run.
They'll be bringing helicopters
with thermal cameras.
- You'll never make it.
- No, she's lying.
If they want to run
Look, everyone just needs to calm down.
I want a confession
out of this arsehole!
He keeps saying that.
I've got nothing to tell him!
What about the boats?
THE BOATS! COME ON!
DOCK 17!
He said they'll only go ahead
with mining
if the report says it's safe.
But there's already a
whole fleet getting built!
Minister, I think you should answer
his questions for your own safety.
He knows he's on the clock.
What are you doing?
Yes.
Yes, we started building boats.
We're confident in the technology.
It's what investors do.
This mining project is going
to make green energy sustainable
for the entire UK.
- What more do you want?
- Jason, lower the gun.
Point it at the floor. He's talking.
There's no need to threaten him.
[GORDON GROANS]
I want everything
not just what I already know.
There's nothing to tell you.
I'm done with you, then.
No, wait, Jason, I have some
questions too, all right?
DI LONGACRE: I've read you your rights,
and a recording of this
conversation is being made.
Do you understand?
Yep.
During the operation
to exfiltrate Shen Jia,
she took cover with
you during the firefight.
Is that correct?
Yes.
Now, was that the last time you saw her?
It's the last time any of us saw her.
We've been out looking for her.
I've seen footage of the firefight
that shows you talking to
her just before she runs.
You watch her go and
then turn back to firing.
I also took fingerprints
from food wrappers I found
in the space where Shen Jia was hiding.
Those wrappers have
your fingerprints on them.
We suspect that Hodge was
murdered in Shen Jia's room.
Now, I found two sets
of footprints in there,
and one of them is a size ten.
That's your shoe size, isn't it?
This is when you tell me,
"I can explain."
I did not kill Hodge.
I mean, shit, Dan was my mate.
I wouldn't do anything stupid
if I were you.
Jesus Christ! This is a nightmare.
Where's Shen Jia now?
I don't know.
See, if you don't want to talk,
ask for a lawyer and we can
sort this out in Glasgow.
Whoa! I DID know.
I don't know where she is now.
Last time I went down there,
she was gone.
When was this?
When you started searching this place.
I went to give her a heads-up,
but she'd already taken off.
Was it your idea for her to hide there?
I mean, you just said that your
unit's been out looking for her.
Were you doing that knowing
where she was all that time?
Yes.
OK, so we've established
that you've lied to your unit.
Have you betrayed them in other ways?
Did you leak details of
your mission to the Russians?
Oh, my God. I'm not a traitor.
I'm her fuck
I'm her boyfriend.
Am I right in thinking
that the mining won't go ahead
unless you get a
positive result on the report?
Yes. Yes, we'll only go ahead
if the independent report says
that damage will be minimal.
Vincent told me it doesn't stack up.
He told me he pulled out.
He would have blown the whistle.
- That's why you killed him
- What?!
- and you tried to kill me.
- Don't be ridiculous.
Look, Vincent, he didn't pull out. He
He just wanted more time to go
over the draft to understand it.
It's complicated work.
I read the emails between you
and Vincent Mair.
You're not here to interrogate me.
For fuck's sake! This is
Argh!
Shut up and answer her questions.
Jason, she's just trying
to keep you talking.
- We need to go.
- No! No, I want to hear this.
OK, one of my team spoke to
Lorna McAllister.
She admitted that there was
some mistakes on the report,
but she said it was her predecessor
who was fired for incompetence.
That happens.
Yeah, only it's not true.
We spoke to her,
Siobhan Wilkinson,
she said that your department told her
that work was stopping
and that you were scrapping
the mining trial,
and that you paid her off,
and then made her sign an NDA.
Was Lorna McAllister brought in
to give you the result that you needed?
Answer her.
Mining the Arctic is going to save us.
I don't think you understand
what's coming, Jason.
People like you never do.
You only know how to make objections.
You don't fix anything.
You don't engage with reality.
I tell the truth, though.
You do know what he's
done is illegal, right?
The police are here.
When the Russians turned on the lights,
we knew that someone had
given us up. We all did.
All right? I couldn't
trust anyone at that point,
not even my own guys.
So, yeah, I told her to run.
I told her where to meet me,
and I went and took her
some food to keep her going.
That's it.
What was your plan?
We didn't have one.
I just wanted her safe.
I didn't mean to get this involved.
I
Socialising is part of the gig.
It's It's part of the cover.
When you actually like someone
I mean, she's fucking scared, and
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[HE EXHALES]
Is this urgent?
I just had Mayor Korotayev on the phone.
There's an accusation against you.
What am I supposed to have done?
Are you holding a
Russian citizen in your room?
I'm not holding anyone prisoner.
Do you have a
Russian woman in your room?
Because they suspect that you do.
Let's go, now.
Do not leave this room, OK?
Tell them I had nothing
to do with the bomb.
Tell them it wasn't me.
Tell them what he's done!
We can cover all that at the station.
What I need you to do now is put the
gun down and step outside with me.
You know I didn't kill Vince, don't you?
You believe me?
You don't.
Why do you still think I did this?
- It was obviously him!
- Jason, we searched your flat.
We found traces of explosives
on your sweatshirt.
I have never been near explosives.
Well, you can read the report.
I have it on my phone.
It was a yellow sweatshirt
with a Soda Bang logo.
Chloe
what the fuck?
Drop your gun.
I know you're angry, but I can explain.
Drop your gun!
It's my sweatshirt,
but I haven't worn it in months.
She
She wears it all the time.
- They told me no-one would get hurt.
- I don't understand.
OK, Chloe, Chloe
look at the situation outside.
Look, whatever's happened,
I need you to do the sensible thing
and let me help you get through this.
Did you do this?
You tried to kill me?
No.
No, I swear. I'm sorry, Jay.
I never meant for this to happen!
Chloe, no!
Chloe!
DISTORTED: Armed police! Armed police!
Chloe?!
Oh, God.
I've got a pulse!
We need an ambulance!
[JASON SOBS]
[HENRIK SIGHS]
Is there anything you haven't told me?
Was this woman here?
[KLAXON BLARES]
What's that?
Oh, no! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Polina! Polina!
Polina, can you hear me?
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! She's been stabbed!
Here! Here! Here! What's going on?
Oh, shit!
We need a medic. We need a medic!
Kirsten, you can stop it.
Kirsten, Kirsten, Kirsten, stop!
She's dead.
