Spooks s09e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
Get away from me.
Whatever it is you want, Vaughn, you're not getting it.
Marry me, Ruth.
It's the funeral, it's made you emotional.
No.
It's made me see clearly.
I can't, Harry.
Sir, I could've taken care of this myself.
Dimitri, stop calling me sir.
You're not a soldier anymore, you're a spy.
Home Secretary.
I do hope we're going to get on, Sir Harry.
We're in the same field, buddy.
You think? You're a profiteer.
You exploit death, violence and misery for money.
You don't remember me, do you? Actually I do, Miss Bailey.
You were an excellent candidate.
But at the time, you were overly self-interested and potentially arrogant.
I was thinking of reapplying.
I'm going to offer Beth a job.
This is for you.
Just tell me one thing, what's it been like? What's what been like? Well, being Lucas North, of course.
Good to see you, John.
This programme contains some violent scenes.
Hello, Grace Lloyd.
Sandhurst Oil.
I'm here to see Robert Westhouse.
Ah, yes, have a seat over there.
Here to see Robert Westhouse.
Jacob Chapman, IMK Consultants.
Number five is here.
One more to go.
Number six arriving.
Another carbon copy.
James Vine.
UK Oil Construction.
Five of them may work in the oil industry and live in the Surrey Hills, but one of them is a trained assassin hired to kill Robert Westhouse.
We need to know which one.
Good morning.
Thank you all for coming.
Mr Westhouse is waiting for you in the Penthouse.
First, if you wouldn't mind my colleague carrying out the usual checks, we'd be very grateful.
Please.
Tariq, we've got scanning equipment.
The earpiece is OK, it's made of natural fibres.
Lose the lapel mic.
Follow me.
We still don't know who the assassin is.
But he's getting in the lift with you.
The lift will take you straight to the penthouse suite.
You'll be met there.
Beth, you can hear us, but we can't hear you.
'Doors closing.
' I'm walking up.
The lift's stopped.
25th floor.
Try the alarm.
No, it's dead.
They're making their move.
Electrics have gone down.
Harry! They've cut the power.
What the hell are they doing? Beth, be ready for anything.
'Beth, be careful.
' Hello, darling.
Look, listen, I'm stuck in the lift in the Maybury Hotel.
Can you call them? 'Doors opening.
' It's OK.
GUN CLICKS Beth! Esta muerta? Beth! Vamos! 'James, what's happening? 'James! James, can you hear me? 'James! James! Are you OK?' Beth? Beth! It's Lucas.
Have they gone? Are you hurt? No.
You sure? Dimitri, can you hear me? Shit! Someone's tried to kill everyone in the lift.
We need ambulances, now.
And lock down the area, no-one goes in or out of this hotel.
'How's Beth?' Harry.
'How's Beth?' Yeah.
She's OK.
Can you stand? OK.
MAN MOANS It's OK, it's OK.
The survivor is called Jacob Chapman.
He's a corporate fixer based in Dubai.
Is he wounded? No.
Make sure the police bring him straight to us.
Harry, there's one other man.
It's James Vine, he's in a coma, he probably won't survive the day.
Four, maybe five murdered.
At 8.
00am we received intelligence that the Nigerian government had hired an assassin to kill Robert Westhouse at the Maybury Hotel.
We were tasked with intercepting the assassin without Westhouse discovering what was going on.
He must have found out and had the people in the lift killed.
Ruth.
Robert Westhouse.
British oil billionaire.
And since the BP disaster, increasingly important to our economic recovery.
He lives in a huge pile in Berkshire, almost never leaves it.
His security is legendary.
He made his millions in Nigerian oil, bringing massive investment into the area.
For years, he's been Nigeria's best friend.
Now it seems they want to kill him.
The assassin they hired was one of these men.
He was within seconds of getting to Westhouse.
Beth, how many gunmen were there? Two, I think.
It was dark.
Did you see anything else? Did you hear anyone speak? No.
They just sprayed the lift with bullets and left.
CCTV above the 15th floor was disabled ten minutes before the shooting.
The other cameras picked up nothing.
So how did they get out? PHONE RINGS Hello? Tariq, check out street CCTV, anything you can find.
Dimitri, spin a story to the media, the shooting was gang-connected.
Jacob Chapman has been brought in for interrogation.
Why did Chapman survive? I hit the floor before they opened fire.
Maybe he did the same.
Or maybe that's what he was trained to do.
But Westhouse must be responsible.
I need to know what's going on, Home Secretary.
The Nigerians have been threatening to cancel all our oil deals.
Since the Gulf of Mexico we've lost our friends in the American oil industry.
We can't lose Nigeria, too.
Westhouse is the only one with enough dirt on them to ensure that we keep our business.
So Nigeria tried to kill him and you got wind of it.
And asked you to sort it out.
Then I'll need to get closer to Robert Westhouse.
Find out what the hell he's been up to.
No, no, no.
No, Harry.
Give him space.
He's important to us.
More important than four murdered civilians.
Give Westhouse space.
That's an order.
You don't work in the oil industry.
How do you know Robert Westhouse? I don't know him.
I was called three days ago by one of Westhouse's UK team.
What's going on here? What was on offer? He said that Westhouse was opening up more oil opportunities in Nigeria.
And how would he do that? Look, I was just trying to make some money.
Business.
What happened in the lift? That wasn't business.
That's got nothing to do with me.
You survived.
And that makes me guilty? It makes you interesting.
I I was standing near her.
The lift doors opened.
She fell to the floor, and I copied her.
And then? I don't remember.
It Just gunshots.
Lots of them and then, er What? They just left.
I think that's right, isn't it? What if I told you that we had intelligence that someone was trying to assassinate Robert Westhouse this morning and that the gunmen were there to take out the assassin? And you think I'm the assassin? I have no idea who you are.
I'm a witness.
That's what I am.
I've been shot at and I'd appreciate some protection.
Oh, don't you worry.
We have no intention of letting you go.
Do you trust him? No.
I would never trust anyone wearing a suit like that.
Dimitri, take Chapman to a safe house.
24-hour watch.
No, Lucas, let me deal with Chapman.
I'll use the feminine touch.
Get something out of him.
OK.
Lucas, I have something.
Five of the businessmen's stories check out perfectly.
But one doesn't.
Let me guess, Chapman? No.
No, this man.
He claimed on arrival to be a Martin Strickland of Vitex Petroleum.
But Martin Strickland doesn't exist.
This man is Benoit Delarue.
Ex French Marine.
Vitex Petroleum employed him two weeks ago as a consultant.
Consulting on what, exactly? It's not clear.
He has no business experience whatsoever.
He knows how to kill people.
So if the Nigerian Government were looking for a non-black operative to murder Westhouse.
He'd be perfect.
Except he had no weapon on him.
The Nigerians could've planted a weapon for the assassin to pick up.
In which case, it would still be at the hotel.
So Benoit Delarue reaches the penthouse apartment.
He has no weapon.
Where did they leave it for him? After you.
PHONE RINGS Ruth, it's Lucas.
Can you check if Westhouse has any health issues? Hang on.
Just checking.
Yes.
Don't tell me, some kind of pain.
Migraines.
It's very heavy.
Requiring constant Medication.
Thanks.
Don't take these if you've got a sore throat.
The Nigerians were planning to poison Westhouse.
They couldn't get to him at his mansion.
The hotel meeting was their only chance.
LIFT DINGS 'Doors closing.
' I thought this floor was sealed off.
It is.
Looking for these? How is Lagos this time of year? HE SPRAYS THEM Ah! 'Doors closing.
' 'Doors closing.
' 'Doors opening.
' TYRES SQUEAL Good morning, Mr North.
Who are you? Felix Osuba.
Nigerian political attache.
I'm sorry to perform such a reckless driving manoeuvre in your great city.
I'm more interested in your manoeuvres around Robert Westhouse.
May I have the bottle, please? What bottle? Give it to me.
All right.
Only if you tell me why.
Why do you want Westhouse dead? There is a new generation of Nigerians who wish to own our own resources.
Mr Westhouse and his kind will never understand that.
Yeah, you thought you'd make that clear to him? Who was your assassin? Benoit Delarue? You don't need to know that.
Well, then, you don't get your poison.
I don't want to force you.
The bottle.
Please.
Go.
The pill you found contained a lethal mix of cyanide and a pollutant, ethomorbitol.
That's impossible to trace in a body, but it would have killed Westhouse within 12 hours.
Thanks, Ruth.
Harry, we need to talk about Robert Westhouse.
Yes.
I'm receiving significant pressure from above regarding Westhouse.
They're telling me I have to tread lightly around him.
However, I think we should pay him a visit.
To discuss his security arrangements.
MOBILE PHONE RINGS Beth.
I'm taking Chapman to the safe house.
I tried but I didn't get anything useful from him.
I think he's secretly gay.
Look, he may be a red herring in all this, but check out his history, just to be sure.
And then go home, you need some rest.
Yes, sir.
Do I detect the seeds of a constructive working relationship? I can report an improvement in Miss Bailey's general approach to her work.
Look at that, the spoils of the oil industry.
Are you telling me that an attempt on my life was planned in my own capital city and the British Government didn't think to inform me? As I'm sure you're aware, your role in the Nigerian oil trade is viewed as crucial to British interests.
And you thought I'd be scared off if I found out that my life was under threat? The Government believe your work is vital to the UK oil industry.
And asked me to deal with the threat quietly and discreetly.
Did a good job, didn't you(?) We would have dealt with the assassin.
But someone got there before us.
And massacred a lift full of innocent people.
You accusing me? Someone was acting to protect you.
Were you aware in the last few weeks of any threat to your life? None whatsoever.
So why all the security? You barely leave this mansion.
We work in Africa, Mr Phillips.
It would be unwise not to take precautions.
What was the hotel meeting about? I was looking after British interests.
The Nigerians are considering turning off their oil tap to the West.
There's a higher bidder.
China? If that happens, it will be catastrophic for the UK economy.
Today's meeting was intended to create business strategies to, er, persuade the Nigerians to reconsider their position.
Strategies? Financial incentives.
Bribery.
Welcome to the world of oil.
Somebody in Nigeria did not want that meeting to be successful.
Why? The Nigerians have always been my friends, even in more pressing times than these.
Then why did they try to kill you? Tomorrow I want you to get into Westhouse's private files.
Find out what's really going on.
You don't think he's telling us everything.
Do you? And the pressure from above? Leave me to deal with that.
Let me out here.
Hi.
Hey, just seeing how you are.
I'll survive.
Thanks for the TLC.
Any time.
PHONE RINGS Did you open the suitcase? How did you get this number? Still got a few tricks in me.
John, I've got myself in a in a terrible mess.
Things are difficult for me.
Think about what I've been doing for the past 15 years.
Think about how difficult I could make things for you.
Don't contact me again.
PHONE RINGS Yes? Sorry, it's me.
I know it's late.
Listen.
Given what you said, re: what I said, I don't think we should be sharing late night tete-a-tetes.
Let's just stick to work.
This is work.
Good.
Um, something's bothering me about the gunman.
'Hold on, Beth's just coming back.
' Hi.
Hi.
Sorry.
They couldn't escape down the fire exit because Lucas was coming up it, plus we had that hotel cordoned off in minutes.
Harry, they can't have left that building.
So what did they do? I think they had a room booked.
We checked all the rooms.
Anyone with African connections was taken by the police for questioning.
Well, I have a guest list on my computer, I'll go through it in the morning.
Anything else? No.
Good night, then.
OK, and down.
Swollen around here.
You'll be fine.
I'll get the nurse to have a look at it, OK? Right.
Right, who have we got here? You're alive.
Maya.
Leave me alone.
I can't.
Maya! Meet me tonight, seven o'clock, Mayfair Square.
Please? You're an early bird.
Couldn't sleep.
Nightmares? It happens to all of us.
Even you.
You don't look so good yourself.
Yeah, well, nothing a coffee won't fix.
I am re-checking everyone staying at the hotel.
Looking for any connection to Westhouse.
What about Chapman? His story's watertight.
He does work for IMK Consultants and he has no connection to Nigeria or to Westhouse.
OK, I want to shift the focus.
How do we get inside Westhouse's mansion? I thought we were steering clear of Westhouse? Not any more.
Somewhere in that mansion is where he does his deals.
I want to be listening in when he does them.
The house has a 60 camera Hawkeye computer-controlled security system.
If we're to disable cameras, we have to it from within.
The drivers have an area round the side of the house.
It may have a computer.
Good.
Set it up.
We've got three hours.
And let's keep this strictly amongst ourselves, shall we? Lucas, see if you can find any connection to the Ukraine.
Westhouse has been there more often in the last three months than I consider entirely healthy.
Ruth, we're missing something.
Could there have been any other witnesses to the shooting? Only James Vine.
And he's still in a coma.
Mrs Vine? I've spoken to the police already.
I just wanted to say that if your husband should wake up, I will need to talk to him.
He isn't going to wake.
He's 90% brain-dead.
They've asked me to consider switching off the machine, but I'm not quite ready yet.
Did your husband have any previous contact with Robert Westhouse? None.
He just got a call three days ago.
He's been trying to tap the Niger delta for years.
I'm disturbing you.
I can still hear the shots.
Sorry? On his phone.
Ruth, James Vine was on the phone when the attack took place.
See if the mobile phone company can retrieve it.
Will do.
Darling, I won't be late, we've got the Bedfords for dinner tonight.
Right.
I'll be back soon, bye, sweetie.
Bye, darling.
Michael, have the car pick me up from the front, will you? Mr Phillips.
I'm here to check your security systems.
Then you'd better come through.
Mrs Westhouse asked to be picked up from the front entrance.
Yeah, OK.
We have 60 colour dome cameras with remote monitoring and CCTV alarm verification.
Six board cameras, with microwave links.
We've also installed in our security centre the latest multiplexers and quad displays.
And our computer system has the strongest firewall.
Outside and inside, we have the facility to activate high-resolution motion detection.
What's in there? Those are Mr and Mrs Westhouse's private quarters.
Even I do not go in there.
So I hope you'll agree that Mr Westhouse is quite safe here and all our systems are more than adequate.
But thank you for your concern.
Michael will see you out.
MOBILE PHONE BEEPS This is PC Joy Hayden, your liaison officer from Surrey Hills Police Control Room.
We've a report of an unmarked white van outside your back gates.
OK, we'll check it out.
Let's check out the back, yeah? There's an unmarked van parked outside your back gates.
Someone may be trying to breech your security wall.
Get Mr Westhouse immediately.
Hold on I said immediately! Wakey-wakey, Tariq.
Bug in place.
I'm like a shark, Lucas, I never sleep.
'Lucas, they're on their way back.
Hurry.
' Come on, Lucas, get out of there! What is it? Someone just tried to crash your security cameras.
But we managed to get them back online.
Take this SIM card back to the Grid.
Find out what's on it.
PHONE RINGS Ruth.
OK, listen.
The police never recovered James Vine's phone.
They assumed he didn't have one.
Right, but we know he did.
Someone must have taken it from the lift before they got there.
Chapman.
I never saw Vine's phone.
And anyway, the police searched me immediately after we left the lift.
So how could I have taken it? Well, then who did? Why don't you ask the people who tried to kill us? Maybe they took it.
But you have no memory of anyone entering the lift.
Well, maybe they did.
It was dark.
It's possible, I suppose.
Why did Westhouse call you out of the blue for this meeting? I have absolutely no idea.
I went to Westhouse because it was an opportunity to make millions of dollars.
Now you tell me, why is that a crime? It's the same with the others.
Westhouse just called them.
No previous contact.
It doesn't make sense.
Unless the meeting was a set-up.
So, Westhouse knew about the Nigerian plot to kill him? Set up a meeting to lure the assassin.
PHONE RINGS Oh, go ahead, I have to take this.
I dusted a phone pad in Westhouse's mansion.
He's speaking to someone from the Ukraine at 6pm today.
Come in.
Close the door.
Take a seat.
What is it? I've contacted James Vine's mobile company and they've retrieved the call to his wife.
Listen, I'm stuck in the lift in the Maybury Hotel.
Can you call them Doors opening.
It's OK GUNFIRE Esta muerta? Vamos! "Is she dead?" In Spanish.
She? Now, there are no Hispanics on my hotel list.
I double-checked with the hotel.
Two Colombians booked in two days before and checked out the morning after the shootings.
Their passports had fake names but their real names are Hector Cordoba and Carlos Garcia.
They have connections to anti-US militia in Colombia.
Someone had deleted them from my computer.
Any connections to Westhouse? Seven years ago, this woman was a member of their group.
PHONE RINGS Marica.
Esta muerta? Beth! Vamos! ON PHONE: 'James, what's happening?! James? 'James, can you hear me? 'James! James! Are you OK?' Beth.
Beth! It's Lucas.
Have they gone? Dimitri, can you hear me? Shit! Someone's tried to kill everyone in the lift.
We need ambulances, now! And lock down the area, no-one goes in or out of this hotel.
Yeah, she's OK.
Can you stand? Oh! > Someone's alive.
'Beth, how many gunmen were there? Two, I think.
' But it was dark.
D'you see anything else? Did you hear anyone speak? No.
They just sprayed the lift with bullets and left.
I was standing near her.
The lifts doors opened.
She fell to the floor.
And I copied her.
And thenwhat? They just left.
That's right, isn't it? Lucas.
Let me deal with Chapman.
I'll use the feminine touch.
Why didn't you tell him? Tell who, what? What you heard in the lift? I'm sorry I don't know Don't bullshit me! I'm taking Chapman to the safe house.
I didn't get anything useful from him.
I think he's secretly gay.
There's no need to push me! What are you doing? Someone will find you later.
And by then you can say what you like.
Hi, what time's the next Eurostar to Paris, please? < Hey! Yeah, when's the next one? Thank you.
Hey! Where are you going? Hector Cordoba.
Get these off.
You're the assassin.
And my Spanish is excellent.
Who were they? I don't know.
I nearly died because of you.
I want some answers.
So you talk! When I was 22, I took off to South America to piss off my father and I got involved with the wrong people.
What was it, drugs? No, arms.
I supplied a Colombian militia with guns and ammo.
And their boss was this psycho called Raul Cordoba.
And? I realised he was no Che Guevara.
And I wanted out.
But he said it wasn't an option, so you shopped him.
To the Colombian army.
He was found in a ditch, just outside Bogota.
Who were those geezers? One of them is his brother.
You've been a naughty girl! I should kill you.
Then you'd have three bodies, your fingerprints all over the place and no-one to help you.
If you tell MI5 who I am, I'll take you down with me.
PHONE RINGS It's my colleague.
Answer it.
Hi.
Hey, just seeing how you are.
I'll survive.
Thanks for the TLC.
Any time.
Right, I want a clean exit to Dubai.
No questions asked.
Then I'll stay silent about your little Colombian adventure.
How do I know I can trust you? How do I know I can trust you? You don't.
Well, now that's sorted.
Let's start clearing this mess up.
Stop.
Stop here.
Wait, wait.
What's that? The businessman from the lift's mobile.
Smart.
Listen, find another assassin.
One of the dead men in the lift.
Make it look convincing.
Keep me out of it.
I've already taken care of that.
You know, I liked you the moment I met you.
I want all evidence of my involvement with Raul Cordoba to disappear.
Why? So you can stay with MI5? I look at you and I don't see a civil servant.
I get you off this.
And we go our separate ways.
Clear? Get me to the safe house.
We'll do our deals later.
Now don't get too excited.
It only calls one number.
Mine.
What other number would I want? 'Hold on, hold on.
Beth's just coming back.
' Hi.
Hi.
Sorry.
So the gunman at the hotel.
They couldn't escape down the fire exit because Lucas was coming up plus we had that hotel cordoned off in minutes.
I think they had a room booked.
Well, I have a guest list on my computer, I'll go through it in the morning.
You're an early bird.
Couldn't sleep.
I never saw Vine's phone.
And anyway the police searched me immediately after we left the lift.
So how could I have taken it? Well, then who did? Why don't you ask the people who tried to kill us, maybe they took it? But you have no memory of anyone entering the lift.
Maybe they did.
Well, it was dark.
So it's possible, I suppose.
PHONE RINGS Oh, go ahead, I have to take this.
OK, guys, take a break.
Let's makes sure no-one's listening.
I've just heard from my Nigerian employers.
How the hell? It doesn't matter.
They want me out of here or I'm a dead man.
What? Look, you've got 12 hours to get me on a flight to Dubai.
Better still, get us both on a flight.
D'you want this always hanging over your head? Your dirty little secret? I know you, you're like me.
You will never fit in with these people.
Anything else you want to tell us? That's the truth.
I swear.
You caused the death of five men.
We could have been chasing their killers.
Instead of which we've wasted valuable hours pursuing false leads while you deliberately misled a criminal investigation.
I operated in a different world back then.
I just, I thought Thought? Thought what, Beth? What did you think? I just thought it would never come up.
Harry, we have noise from the bug in Westhouse's mansion.
You stay here.
'The Ukrainians have landed.
'They have the VXD.
Tell them there's a new venue for the handover.
'Six o'clock.
They are nervous after what happened at the hotel.
'Offer them an extra 100K.
That should calm them down a bit.
' We need to speed this up.
Fly to Lagos tonight.
Give Uchama the VXD and tell him to attack immediately.
'After the attack, brief the press that it was Islamic rebels 'from the North, the usual African cliches.
' Then the army can seize the presidential palace.
Then their priority is to secure our pipelines and refineries.
VXD.
A deadly Soviet nerve agent used in Afghanistan to obliterate entire towns.
What does Westhouse want this for? He's going to attack Lagos.
But why? That's tantamount to genocide.
That's exactly what he wants.
He'll blame the attack on Islamic militants provoking the Nigerian military to roll in and take over.
A British-sponsored coup.
Yeah, and all to keep the oil tap running.
Harry, we have to stop this.
But quietly.
Westhouse dines with half of the British Cabinet.
If the world's media get the slightest hint of what he's up to, the UK will become Africa's enemy number one.
We have no idea where the transaction's taking place.
Lucas, the phone belonged to Westhouse's wife.
The SIM card had 300 photos on it, family and friends.
And? Look who's one of the friends.
Chapman.
He's in 12 different photos.
He must be working for Westhouse.
Chapman told you he was the assassin hired by Nigeria to kill Westhouse? Can you explain these to me? He said he'd never met Westhouse.
Then we can assume he lied to you.
I don't understand.
Who is he? This is the assassin.
When you reach this floor in the lift, we will separate him from the group.
Do what you need to do.
Here to see Robert Westhouse.
Jacob Chapman, IMK Consultants.
Darling, listen, I'm stuck in the lift in the Maybury Hotel.
Esta muerta? Vamos! ON PHONE: 'James, what's happening? James! James, can you hear me?' It's you.
You're the assassin.
My Spanish is excellent.
You're like me.
You'll never fit in with these people.
Chapman will know where the transaction's taking place.
We need that information.
Do we bring him in? He'll deny knowledge.
All we have are photographs.
It's not enough.
We have to deceive the deceiver.
Beth? Will you do it? Yeah.
Just this once.
Then she's gone.
There's no place here for betrayal.
PHONE BUZZES I've arranged your release.
I knew you were good.
We'll pick you up in half an hour and you'll be taken wherever you wish.
And my offer to you? I'm leaning towards accepting.
I thought you might.
If he or any of his men make any move, we bring them in.
Let's go.
Get me Westhouse.
The Nigerians have found me.
Mr Westhouse is not available.
He says he's sorry.
You set me up.
We've identified the assassin.
You're free to return home to Dubai.
There's a taxi waiting.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
The answer's yes.
Heathrow Airport.
Two hours.
He's on the move.
Tariq, anything happening at the mansion? Just the wife going to her golf lesson.
No sign of Westhouse or his entourage.
Harry, we've got Nigerian Intelligence following me and Chapman.
How did they find him? Westhouse must have leaked it to them.
He's setting Chapman up, we follow Chapman while he completes the transaction elsewhere.
So where's it happening? Hang on.
Tariq, was there anyone else in the wife's car? Just her and the driver.
In Iraq, we used to dress the important dignitary as the driver.
Maybe Westhouse is driving that car.
Where's the wife's golf lesson? Foxhills Golf Club.
Harry? Let's go.
PHONE RINGS Home Secretary.
I wanted you to know that I'm about to prevent a British-funded coup in West Africa that could lead to mass bloodshed which your dear friend Robert Westhouse is planning.
I didn't know.
Not that he'd go that far.
I assumed that was the case.
Deal with it, Harry.
No noise.
That's why I'm going myself.
Ah-ah.
You stay here.
What? What do you mean? You're off the operation.
Harry's orders.
Off the operation or off the team? You should've been honest with us, Beth.
Whereas I'm sure you've got nothing to hide, have you, Lucas? I'm front man on this.
Diplomatic reasons.
Understood.
We'll go round the back.
Pull over here, please.
I know where the nerve agent is being handed over.
And for the right price, I can tell you where it's happening.
What is the right price? PHONE RINGS Robert, lovely to see you.
Are you playing today? No, no my, er, wife has a lesson.
How is Joanna? She's good, she's fine.
Thank you.
I hear you're thinking of taking an African holiday.
Yes, that's right.
Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but you may have to cancel.
The climate is no longer conducive.
Well, I'm sure I'll find a way of making it happen.
You've taken your last safari, Robert.
Why don't you and Joanna have a nice consolation dinner? There's a table booked, on me.
How kind.
Let me take your bag to the car.
Westhouse is white, in his early He'll be carrying a sports bag.
Shoot him and take the bag.
Harry! You said Heathrow Airport, you naughty boy.
You never knew me.
And you never will.
Harry, I want Beth on our team.
I don't like liars.
It's our business, isn't it? Lying.
Not to each other.
Did you trust Ros? Implicitly.
Could you afford me the same grace? I'll accept the position of Section Chief.
But you have to trust me in the same way.
I want complete clearance on all my operations.
Grade A access and the freedom to build the team that I choose.
Beth deserves a second chance.
Congratulations, Lucas.
Right, well, I'll see you when I see you.
Yep.
How about eight o'clock tomorrow morning? What do you mean? Call it a reprieve.
Eight o'clock it is then.
Don't think it's because I care.
Of course not.
Er I know this is hard for you.
I just wanted to try and explain.
It's been 15 years, John.
Don't talk to me like you know me.
You don't know me.
I'm not the same person any more.
Neither am I.
So? Maya, when I was in Africa, something happened.
Something that I had to bury, had to run from.
I couldn't risk bringing it home to you.
I couldn't I loved you too much.
If you loved me, you wouldn't have disappeared.
If you loved me, John, you would've found a way to come home.
If you knew how much I wanted to.
I can't listen to this.
I've got to go.
Where? To my boyfriend.
Yeah, I have one.
And I have friends and family, a career.
I have a life and I don't need you.
So why are you here? We've intercepted an e-mail to the AFF cell in London.
We think they're trying to acquire a WMD.
The Russians want a man on the Grid.
An FSB officer at Thames House? That's absurd.
To many more co-operations.
What's going on? They're terrorists.
It appears I have allowed us to be played by Moscow.
I want to see you again.
I don't want to see you.
I want to tell you everything.
Tonight.
I can assure you he won't hesitate to use this weapon.
Security services, clear the platform! It's a war, Lucas.
If you don't like it, look the other way.
We've done what was asked.
That's an end to it.
Have you told Harry Pearce what we did? Don't make me use what I know.
Whatever it is you want, Vaughn, you're not getting it.
Marry me, Ruth.
It's the funeral, it's made you emotional.
No.
It's made me see clearly.
I can't, Harry.
Sir, I could've taken care of this myself.
Dimitri, stop calling me sir.
You're not a soldier anymore, you're a spy.
Home Secretary.
I do hope we're going to get on, Sir Harry.
We're in the same field, buddy.
You think? You're a profiteer.
You exploit death, violence and misery for money.
You don't remember me, do you? Actually I do, Miss Bailey.
You were an excellent candidate.
But at the time, you were overly self-interested and potentially arrogant.
I was thinking of reapplying.
I'm going to offer Beth a job.
This is for you.
Just tell me one thing, what's it been like? What's what been like? Well, being Lucas North, of course.
Good to see you, John.
This programme contains some violent scenes.
Hello, Grace Lloyd.
Sandhurst Oil.
I'm here to see Robert Westhouse.
Ah, yes, have a seat over there.
Here to see Robert Westhouse.
Jacob Chapman, IMK Consultants.
Number five is here.
One more to go.
Number six arriving.
Another carbon copy.
James Vine.
UK Oil Construction.
Five of them may work in the oil industry and live in the Surrey Hills, but one of them is a trained assassin hired to kill Robert Westhouse.
We need to know which one.
Good morning.
Thank you all for coming.
Mr Westhouse is waiting for you in the Penthouse.
First, if you wouldn't mind my colleague carrying out the usual checks, we'd be very grateful.
Please.
Tariq, we've got scanning equipment.
The earpiece is OK, it's made of natural fibres.
Lose the lapel mic.
Follow me.
We still don't know who the assassin is.
But he's getting in the lift with you.
The lift will take you straight to the penthouse suite.
You'll be met there.
Beth, you can hear us, but we can't hear you.
'Doors closing.
' I'm walking up.
The lift's stopped.
25th floor.
Try the alarm.
No, it's dead.
They're making their move.
Electrics have gone down.
Harry! They've cut the power.
What the hell are they doing? Beth, be ready for anything.
'Beth, be careful.
' Hello, darling.
Look, listen, I'm stuck in the lift in the Maybury Hotel.
Can you call them? 'Doors opening.
' It's OK.
GUN CLICKS Beth! Esta muerta? Beth! Vamos! 'James, what's happening? 'James! James, can you hear me? 'James! James! Are you OK?' Beth? Beth! It's Lucas.
Have they gone? Are you hurt? No.
You sure? Dimitri, can you hear me? Shit! Someone's tried to kill everyone in the lift.
We need ambulances, now.
And lock down the area, no-one goes in or out of this hotel.
'How's Beth?' Harry.
'How's Beth?' Yeah.
She's OK.
Can you stand? OK.
MAN MOANS It's OK, it's OK.
The survivor is called Jacob Chapman.
He's a corporate fixer based in Dubai.
Is he wounded? No.
Make sure the police bring him straight to us.
Harry, there's one other man.
It's James Vine, he's in a coma, he probably won't survive the day.
Four, maybe five murdered.
At 8.
00am we received intelligence that the Nigerian government had hired an assassin to kill Robert Westhouse at the Maybury Hotel.
We were tasked with intercepting the assassin without Westhouse discovering what was going on.
He must have found out and had the people in the lift killed.
Ruth.
Robert Westhouse.
British oil billionaire.
And since the BP disaster, increasingly important to our economic recovery.
He lives in a huge pile in Berkshire, almost never leaves it.
His security is legendary.
He made his millions in Nigerian oil, bringing massive investment into the area.
For years, he's been Nigeria's best friend.
Now it seems they want to kill him.
The assassin they hired was one of these men.
He was within seconds of getting to Westhouse.
Beth, how many gunmen were there? Two, I think.
It was dark.
Did you see anything else? Did you hear anyone speak? No.
They just sprayed the lift with bullets and left.
CCTV above the 15th floor was disabled ten minutes before the shooting.
The other cameras picked up nothing.
So how did they get out? PHONE RINGS Hello? Tariq, check out street CCTV, anything you can find.
Dimitri, spin a story to the media, the shooting was gang-connected.
Jacob Chapman has been brought in for interrogation.
Why did Chapman survive? I hit the floor before they opened fire.
Maybe he did the same.
Or maybe that's what he was trained to do.
But Westhouse must be responsible.
I need to know what's going on, Home Secretary.
The Nigerians have been threatening to cancel all our oil deals.
Since the Gulf of Mexico we've lost our friends in the American oil industry.
We can't lose Nigeria, too.
Westhouse is the only one with enough dirt on them to ensure that we keep our business.
So Nigeria tried to kill him and you got wind of it.
And asked you to sort it out.
Then I'll need to get closer to Robert Westhouse.
Find out what the hell he's been up to.
No, no, no.
No, Harry.
Give him space.
He's important to us.
More important than four murdered civilians.
Give Westhouse space.
That's an order.
You don't work in the oil industry.
How do you know Robert Westhouse? I don't know him.
I was called three days ago by one of Westhouse's UK team.
What's going on here? What was on offer? He said that Westhouse was opening up more oil opportunities in Nigeria.
And how would he do that? Look, I was just trying to make some money.
Business.
What happened in the lift? That wasn't business.
That's got nothing to do with me.
You survived.
And that makes me guilty? It makes you interesting.
I I was standing near her.
The lift doors opened.
She fell to the floor, and I copied her.
And then? I don't remember.
It Just gunshots.
Lots of them and then, er What? They just left.
I think that's right, isn't it? What if I told you that we had intelligence that someone was trying to assassinate Robert Westhouse this morning and that the gunmen were there to take out the assassin? And you think I'm the assassin? I have no idea who you are.
I'm a witness.
That's what I am.
I've been shot at and I'd appreciate some protection.
Oh, don't you worry.
We have no intention of letting you go.
Do you trust him? No.
I would never trust anyone wearing a suit like that.
Dimitri, take Chapman to a safe house.
24-hour watch.
No, Lucas, let me deal with Chapman.
I'll use the feminine touch.
Get something out of him.
OK.
Lucas, I have something.
Five of the businessmen's stories check out perfectly.
But one doesn't.
Let me guess, Chapman? No.
No, this man.
He claimed on arrival to be a Martin Strickland of Vitex Petroleum.
But Martin Strickland doesn't exist.
This man is Benoit Delarue.
Ex French Marine.
Vitex Petroleum employed him two weeks ago as a consultant.
Consulting on what, exactly? It's not clear.
He has no business experience whatsoever.
He knows how to kill people.
So if the Nigerian Government were looking for a non-black operative to murder Westhouse.
He'd be perfect.
Except he had no weapon on him.
The Nigerians could've planted a weapon for the assassin to pick up.
In which case, it would still be at the hotel.
So Benoit Delarue reaches the penthouse apartment.
He has no weapon.
Where did they leave it for him? After you.
PHONE RINGS Ruth, it's Lucas.
Can you check if Westhouse has any health issues? Hang on.
Just checking.
Yes.
Don't tell me, some kind of pain.
Migraines.
It's very heavy.
Requiring constant Medication.
Thanks.
Don't take these if you've got a sore throat.
The Nigerians were planning to poison Westhouse.
They couldn't get to him at his mansion.
The hotel meeting was their only chance.
LIFT DINGS 'Doors closing.
' I thought this floor was sealed off.
It is.
Looking for these? How is Lagos this time of year? HE SPRAYS THEM Ah! 'Doors closing.
' 'Doors closing.
' 'Doors opening.
' TYRES SQUEAL Good morning, Mr North.
Who are you? Felix Osuba.
Nigerian political attache.
I'm sorry to perform such a reckless driving manoeuvre in your great city.
I'm more interested in your manoeuvres around Robert Westhouse.
May I have the bottle, please? What bottle? Give it to me.
All right.
Only if you tell me why.
Why do you want Westhouse dead? There is a new generation of Nigerians who wish to own our own resources.
Mr Westhouse and his kind will never understand that.
Yeah, you thought you'd make that clear to him? Who was your assassin? Benoit Delarue? You don't need to know that.
Well, then, you don't get your poison.
I don't want to force you.
The bottle.
Please.
Go.
The pill you found contained a lethal mix of cyanide and a pollutant, ethomorbitol.
That's impossible to trace in a body, but it would have killed Westhouse within 12 hours.
Thanks, Ruth.
Harry, we need to talk about Robert Westhouse.
Yes.
I'm receiving significant pressure from above regarding Westhouse.
They're telling me I have to tread lightly around him.
However, I think we should pay him a visit.
To discuss his security arrangements.
MOBILE PHONE RINGS Beth.
I'm taking Chapman to the safe house.
I tried but I didn't get anything useful from him.
I think he's secretly gay.
Look, he may be a red herring in all this, but check out his history, just to be sure.
And then go home, you need some rest.
Yes, sir.
Do I detect the seeds of a constructive working relationship? I can report an improvement in Miss Bailey's general approach to her work.
Look at that, the spoils of the oil industry.
Are you telling me that an attempt on my life was planned in my own capital city and the British Government didn't think to inform me? As I'm sure you're aware, your role in the Nigerian oil trade is viewed as crucial to British interests.
And you thought I'd be scared off if I found out that my life was under threat? The Government believe your work is vital to the UK oil industry.
And asked me to deal with the threat quietly and discreetly.
Did a good job, didn't you(?) We would have dealt with the assassin.
But someone got there before us.
And massacred a lift full of innocent people.
You accusing me? Someone was acting to protect you.
Were you aware in the last few weeks of any threat to your life? None whatsoever.
So why all the security? You barely leave this mansion.
We work in Africa, Mr Phillips.
It would be unwise not to take precautions.
What was the hotel meeting about? I was looking after British interests.
The Nigerians are considering turning off their oil tap to the West.
There's a higher bidder.
China? If that happens, it will be catastrophic for the UK economy.
Today's meeting was intended to create business strategies to, er, persuade the Nigerians to reconsider their position.
Strategies? Financial incentives.
Bribery.
Welcome to the world of oil.
Somebody in Nigeria did not want that meeting to be successful.
Why? The Nigerians have always been my friends, even in more pressing times than these.
Then why did they try to kill you? Tomorrow I want you to get into Westhouse's private files.
Find out what's really going on.
You don't think he's telling us everything.
Do you? And the pressure from above? Leave me to deal with that.
Let me out here.
Hi.
Hey, just seeing how you are.
I'll survive.
Thanks for the TLC.
Any time.
PHONE RINGS Did you open the suitcase? How did you get this number? Still got a few tricks in me.
John, I've got myself in a in a terrible mess.
Things are difficult for me.
Think about what I've been doing for the past 15 years.
Think about how difficult I could make things for you.
Don't contact me again.
PHONE RINGS Yes? Sorry, it's me.
I know it's late.
Listen.
Given what you said, re: what I said, I don't think we should be sharing late night tete-a-tetes.
Let's just stick to work.
This is work.
Good.
Um, something's bothering me about the gunman.
'Hold on, Beth's just coming back.
' Hi.
Hi.
Sorry.
They couldn't escape down the fire exit because Lucas was coming up it, plus we had that hotel cordoned off in minutes.
Harry, they can't have left that building.
So what did they do? I think they had a room booked.
We checked all the rooms.
Anyone with African connections was taken by the police for questioning.
Well, I have a guest list on my computer, I'll go through it in the morning.
Anything else? No.
Good night, then.
OK, and down.
Swollen around here.
You'll be fine.
I'll get the nurse to have a look at it, OK? Right.
Right, who have we got here? You're alive.
Maya.
Leave me alone.
I can't.
Maya! Meet me tonight, seven o'clock, Mayfair Square.
Please? You're an early bird.
Couldn't sleep.
Nightmares? It happens to all of us.
Even you.
You don't look so good yourself.
Yeah, well, nothing a coffee won't fix.
I am re-checking everyone staying at the hotel.
Looking for any connection to Westhouse.
What about Chapman? His story's watertight.
He does work for IMK Consultants and he has no connection to Nigeria or to Westhouse.
OK, I want to shift the focus.
How do we get inside Westhouse's mansion? I thought we were steering clear of Westhouse? Not any more.
Somewhere in that mansion is where he does his deals.
I want to be listening in when he does them.
The house has a 60 camera Hawkeye computer-controlled security system.
If we're to disable cameras, we have to it from within.
The drivers have an area round the side of the house.
It may have a computer.
Good.
Set it up.
We've got three hours.
And let's keep this strictly amongst ourselves, shall we? Lucas, see if you can find any connection to the Ukraine.
Westhouse has been there more often in the last three months than I consider entirely healthy.
Ruth, we're missing something.
Could there have been any other witnesses to the shooting? Only James Vine.
And he's still in a coma.
Mrs Vine? I've spoken to the police already.
I just wanted to say that if your husband should wake up, I will need to talk to him.
He isn't going to wake.
He's 90% brain-dead.
They've asked me to consider switching off the machine, but I'm not quite ready yet.
Did your husband have any previous contact with Robert Westhouse? None.
He just got a call three days ago.
He's been trying to tap the Niger delta for years.
I'm disturbing you.
I can still hear the shots.
Sorry? On his phone.
Ruth, James Vine was on the phone when the attack took place.
See if the mobile phone company can retrieve it.
Will do.
Darling, I won't be late, we've got the Bedfords for dinner tonight.
Right.
I'll be back soon, bye, sweetie.
Bye, darling.
Michael, have the car pick me up from the front, will you? Mr Phillips.
I'm here to check your security systems.
Then you'd better come through.
Mrs Westhouse asked to be picked up from the front entrance.
Yeah, OK.
We have 60 colour dome cameras with remote monitoring and CCTV alarm verification.
Six board cameras, with microwave links.
We've also installed in our security centre the latest multiplexers and quad displays.
And our computer system has the strongest firewall.
Outside and inside, we have the facility to activate high-resolution motion detection.
What's in there? Those are Mr and Mrs Westhouse's private quarters.
Even I do not go in there.
So I hope you'll agree that Mr Westhouse is quite safe here and all our systems are more than adequate.
But thank you for your concern.
Michael will see you out.
MOBILE PHONE BEEPS This is PC Joy Hayden, your liaison officer from Surrey Hills Police Control Room.
We've a report of an unmarked white van outside your back gates.
OK, we'll check it out.
Let's check out the back, yeah? There's an unmarked van parked outside your back gates.
Someone may be trying to breech your security wall.
Get Mr Westhouse immediately.
Hold on I said immediately! Wakey-wakey, Tariq.
Bug in place.
I'm like a shark, Lucas, I never sleep.
'Lucas, they're on their way back.
Hurry.
' Come on, Lucas, get out of there! What is it? Someone just tried to crash your security cameras.
But we managed to get them back online.
Take this SIM card back to the Grid.
Find out what's on it.
PHONE RINGS Ruth.
OK, listen.
The police never recovered James Vine's phone.
They assumed he didn't have one.
Right, but we know he did.
Someone must have taken it from the lift before they got there.
Chapman.
I never saw Vine's phone.
And anyway, the police searched me immediately after we left the lift.
So how could I have taken it? Well, then who did? Why don't you ask the people who tried to kill us? Maybe they took it.
But you have no memory of anyone entering the lift.
Well, maybe they did.
It was dark.
It's possible, I suppose.
Why did Westhouse call you out of the blue for this meeting? I have absolutely no idea.
I went to Westhouse because it was an opportunity to make millions of dollars.
Now you tell me, why is that a crime? It's the same with the others.
Westhouse just called them.
No previous contact.
It doesn't make sense.
Unless the meeting was a set-up.
So, Westhouse knew about the Nigerian plot to kill him? Set up a meeting to lure the assassin.
PHONE RINGS Oh, go ahead, I have to take this.
I dusted a phone pad in Westhouse's mansion.
He's speaking to someone from the Ukraine at 6pm today.
Come in.
Close the door.
Take a seat.
What is it? I've contacted James Vine's mobile company and they've retrieved the call to his wife.
Listen, I'm stuck in the lift in the Maybury Hotel.
Can you call them Doors opening.
It's OK GUNFIRE Esta muerta? Vamos! "Is she dead?" In Spanish.
She? Now, there are no Hispanics on my hotel list.
I double-checked with the hotel.
Two Colombians booked in two days before and checked out the morning after the shootings.
Their passports had fake names but their real names are Hector Cordoba and Carlos Garcia.
They have connections to anti-US militia in Colombia.
Someone had deleted them from my computer.
Any connections to Westhouse? Seven years ago, this woman was a member of their group.
PHONE RINGS Marica.
Esta muerta? Beth! Vamos! ON PHONE: 'James, what's happening?! James? 'James, can you hear me? 'James! James! Are you OK?' Beth.
Beth! It's Lucas.
Have they gone? Dimitri, can you hear me? Shit! Someone's tried to kill everyone in the lift.
We need ambulances, now! And lock down the area, no-one goes in or out of this hotel.
Yeah, she's OK.
Can you stand? Oh! > Someone's alive.
'Beth, how many gunmen were there? Two, I think.
' But it was dark.
D'you see anything else? Did you hear anyone speak? No.
They just sprayed the lift with bullets and left.
I was standing near her.
The lifts doors opened.
She fell to the floor.
And I copied her.
And thenwhat? They just left.
That's right, isn't it? Lucas.
Let me deal with Chapman.
I'll use the feminine touch.
Why didn't you tell him? Tell who, what? What you heard in the lift? I'm sorry I don't know Don't bullshit me! I'm taking Chapman to the safe house.
I didn't get anything useful from him.
I think he's secretly gay.
There's no need to push me! What are you doing? Someone will find you later.
And by then you can say what you like.
Hi, what time's the next Eurostar to Paris, please? < Hey! Yeah, when's the next one? Thank you.
Hey! Where are you going? Hector Cordoba.
Get these off.
You're the assassin.
And my Spanish is excellent.
Who were they? I don't know.
I nearly died because of you.
I want some answers.
So you talk! When I was 22, I took off to South America to piss off my father and I got involved with the wrong people.
What was it, drugs? No, arms.
I supplied a Colombian militia with guns and ammo.
And their boss was this psycho called Raul Cordoba.
And? I realised he was no Che Guevara.
And I wanted out.
But he said it wasn't an option, so you shopped him.
To the Colombian army.
He was found in a ditch, just outside Bogota.
Who were those geezers? One of them is his brother.
You've been a naughty girl! I should kill you.
Then you'd have three bodies, your fingerprints all over the place and no-one to help you.
If you tell MI5 who I am, I'll take you down with me.
PHONE RINGS It's my colleague.
Answer it.
Hi.
Hey, just seeing how you are.
I'll survive.
Thanks for the TLC.
Any time.
Right, I want a clean exit to Dubai.
No questions asked.
Then I'll stay silent about your little Colombian adventure.
How do I know I can trust you? How do I know I can trust you? You don't.
Well, now that's sorted.
Let's start clearing this mess up.
Stop.
Stop here.
Wait, wait.
What's that? The businessman from the lift's mobile.
Smart.
Listen, find another assassin.
One of the dead men in the lift.
Make it look convincing.
Keep me out of it.
I've already taken care of that.
You know, I liked you the moment I met you.
I want all evidence of my involvement with Raul Cordoba to disappear.
Why? So you can stay with MI5? I look at you and I don't see a civil servant.
I get you off this.
And we go our separate ways.
Clear? Get me to the safe house.
We'll do our deals later.
Now don't get too excited.
It only calls one number.
Mine.
What other number would I want? 'Hold on, hold on.
Beth's just coming back.
' Hi.
Hi.
Sorry.
So the gunman at the hotel.
They couldn't escape down the fire exit because Lucas was coming up plus we had that hotel cordoned off in minutes.
I think they had a room booked.
Well, I have a guest list on my computer, I'll go through it in the morning.
You're an early bird.
Couldn't sleep.
I never saw Vine's phone.
And anyway the police searched me immediately after we left the lift.
So how could I have taken it? Well, then who did? Why don't you ask the people who tried to kill us, maybe they took it? But you have no memory of anyone entering the lift.
Maybe they did.
Well, it was dark.
So it's possible, I suppose.
PHONE RINGS Oh, go ahead, I have to take this.
OK, guys, take a break.
Let's makes sure no-one's listening.
I've just heard from my Nigerian employers.
How the hell? It doesn't matter.
They want me out of here or I'm a dead man.
What? Look, you've got 12 hours to get me on a flight to Dubai.
Better still, get us both on a flight.
D'you want this always hanging over your head? Your dirty little secret? I know you, you're like me.
You will never fit in with these people.
Anything else you want to tell us? That's the truth.
I swear.
You caused the death of five men.
We could have been chasing their killers.
Instead of which we've wasted valuable hours pursuing false leads while you deliberately misled a criminal investigation.
I operated in a different world back then.
I just, I thought Thought? Thought what, Beth? What did you think? I just thought it would never come up.
Harry, we have noise from the bug in Westhouse's mansion.
You stay here.
'The Ukrainians have landed.
'They have the VXD.
Tell them there's a new venue for the handover.
'Six o'clock.
They are nervous after what happened at the hotel.
'Offer them an extra 100K.
That should calm them down a bit.
' We need to speed this up.
Fly to Lagos tonight.
Give Uchama the VXD and tell him to attack immediately.
'After the attack, brief the press that it was Islamic rebels 'from the North, the usual African cliches.
' Then the army can seize the presidential palace.
Then their priority is to secure our pipelines and refineries.
VXD.
A deadly Soviet nerve agent used in Afghanistan to obliterate entire towns.
What does Westhouse want this for? He's going to attack Lagos.
But why? That's tantamount to genocide.
That's exactly what he wants.
He'll blame the attack on Islamic militants provoking the Nigerian military to roll in and take over.
A British-sponsored coup.
Yeah, and all to keep the oil tap running.
Harry, we have to stop this.
But quietly.
Westhouse dines with half of the British Cabinet.
If the world's media get the slightest hint of what he's up to, the UK will become Africa's enemy number one.
We have no idea where the transaction's taking place.
Lucas, the phone belonged to Westhouse's wife.
The SIM card had 300 photos on it, family and friends.
And? Look who's one of the friends.
Chapman.
He's in 12 different photos.
He must be working for Westhouse.
Chapman told you he was the assassin hired by Nigeria to kill Westhouse? Can you explain these to me? He said he'd never met Westhouse.
Then we can assume he lied to you.
I don't understand.
Who is he? This is the assassin.
When you reach this floor in the lift, we will separate him from the group.
Do what you need to do.
Here to see Robert Westhouse.
Jacob Chapman, IMK Consultants.
Darling, listen, I'm stuck in the lift in the Maybury Hotel.
Esta muerta? Vamos! ON PHONE: 'James, what's happening? James! James, can you hear me?' It's you.
You're the assassin.
My Spanish is excellent.
You're like me.
You'll never fit in with these people.
Chapman will know where the transaction's taking place.
We need that information.
Do we bring him in? He'll deny knowledge.
All we have are photographs.
It's not enough.
We have to deceive the deceiver.
Beth? Will you do it? Yeah.
Just this once.
Then she's gone.
There's no place here for betrayal.
PHONE BUZZES I've arranged your release.
I knew you were good.
We'll pick you up in half an hour and you'll be taken wherever you wish.
And my offer to you? I'm leaning towards accepting.
I thought you might.
If he or any of his men make any move, we bring them in.
Let's go.
Get me Westhouse.
The Nigerians have found me.
Mr Westhouse is not available.
He says he's sorry.
You set me up.
We've identified the assassin.
You're free to return home to Dubai.
There's a taxi waiting.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
The answer's yes.
Heathrow Airport.
Two hours.
He's on the move.
Tariq, anything happening at the mansion? Just the wife going to her golf lesson.
No sign of Westhouse or his entourage.
Harry, we've got Nigerian Intelligence following me and Chapman.
How did they find him? Westhouse must have leaked it to them.
He's setting Chapman up, we follow Chapman while he completes the transaction elsewhere.
So where's it happening? Hang on.
Tariq, was there anyone else in the wife's car? Just her and the driver.
In Iraq, we used to dress the important dignitary as the driver.
Maybe Westhouse is driving that car.
Where's the wife's golf lesson? Foxhills Golf Club.
Harry? Let's go.
PHONE RINGS Home Secretary.
I wanted you to know that I'm about to prevent a British-funded coup in West Africa that could lead to mass bloodshed which your dear friend Robert Westhouse is planning.
I didn't know.
Not that he'd go that far.
I assumed that was the case.
Deal with it, Harry.
No noise.
That's why I'm going myself.
Ah-ah.
You stay here.
What? What do you mean? You're off the operation.
Harry's orders.
Off the operation or off the team? You should've been honest with us, Beth.
Whereas I'm sure you've got nothing to hide, have you, Lucas? I'm front man on this.
Diplomatic reasons.
Understood.
We'll go round the back.
Pull over here, please.
I know where the nerve agent is being handed over.
And for the right price, I can tell you where it's happening.
What is the right price? PHONE RINGS Robert, lovely to see you.
Are you playing today? No, no my, er, wife has a lesson.
How is Joanna? She's good, she's fine.
Thank you.
I hear you're thinking of taking an African holiday.
Yes, that's right.
Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but you may have to cancel.
The climate is no longer conducive.
Well, I'm sure I'll find a way of making it happen.
You've taken your last safari, Robert.
Why don't you and Joanna have a nice consolation dinner? There's a table booked, on me.
How kind.
Let me take your bag to the car.
Westhouse is white, in his early He'll be carrying a sports bag.
Shoot him and take the bag.
Harry! You said Heathrow Airport, you naughty boy.
You never knew me.
And you never will.
Harry, I want Beth on our team.
I don't like liars.
It's our business, isn't it? Lying.
Not to each other.
Did you trust Ros? Implicitly.
Could you afford me the same grace? I'll accept the position of Section Chief.
But you have to trust me in the same way.
I want complete clearance on all my operations.
Grade A access and the freedom to build the team that I choose.
Beth deserves a second chance.
Congratulations, Lucas.
Right, well, I'll see you when I see you.
Yep.
How about eight o'clock tomorrow morning? What do you mean? Call it a reprieve.
Eight o'clock it is then.
Don't think it's because I care.
Of course not.
Er I know this is hard for you.
I just wanted to try and explain.
It's been 15 years, John.
Don't talk to me like you know me.
You don't know me.
I'm not the same person any more.
Neither am I.
So? Maya, when I was in Africa, something happened.
Something that I had to bury, had to run from.
I couldn't risk bringing it home to you.
I couldn't I loved you too much.
If you loved me, you wouldn't have disappeared.
If you loved me, John, you would've found a way to come home.
If you knew how much I wanted to.
I can't listen to this.
I've got to go.
Where? To my boyfriend.
Yeah, I have one.
And I have friends and family, a career.
I have a life and I don't need you.
So why are you here? We've intercepted an e-mail to the AFF cell in London.
We think they're trying to acquire a WMD.
The Russians want a man on the Grid.
An FSB officer at Thames House? That's absurd.
To many more co-operations.
What's going on? They're terrorists.
It appears I have allowed us to be played by Moscow.
I want to see you again.
I don't want to see you.
I want to tell you everything.
Tonight.
I can assure you he won't hesitate to use this weapon.
Security services, clear the platform! It's a war, Lucas.
If you don't like it, look the other way.
We've done what was asked.
That's an end to it.
Have you told Harry Pearce what we did? Don't make me use what I know.
