Episode 3
1 The authorities over there are refusing to release your brother's body.
The consul are suggesting, if you were willing to go out to Pakistan that you would be the most effective person.
Guy, they lied to us.
They don't even need me here.
They told Townsend point blank that they've already identified the body.
They're trying to set me up.
Danish Shirani, flew out of Heathrow just over six weeks ago bound for Lahore.
Rubbish.
Danny.
Danny! Listen, we've got to get out of here, all right? I'm gonna take you home.
They took my passport.
- Who took your passport? - Almasi.
He's the preacher.
- [GUN SHOT.]
- [CRIES OUT.]
Down by the river by the boat Where everybody goes to be alone We won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the riverbed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside [CHILDREN YELLING.]
[INDISTINCT, FRANTIC CONVERSATION.]
[MEDICAL EQUIPMENT BEEPING STEADILY.]
NOOR: Ssh Listen to me, baji.
Danish no passport.
No tickets.
There is a man.
My cousins know this man.
You will help him to escape.
New passport.
New plane ticket.
You have to send him £12,000.
Yes? Do you understand? Don't worry [SPEAKS URDU.]
Ammi There's someone here to see you.
Is it Guy? [GROANS.]
Look, I understand you're distressed and I'm so sorry for what our men did, but it would help if you could tell me why you left the mortuary.
I think it's clear.
You used me to get to him.
Wait, wait, wait, wait No, you tried you tried to kill him.
And you shot me.
It was never anyone's intention to hurt Danny.
You weren't even there.
That's the only reason why I'm here, to find out what happened, Doctor Harcourt.
Look, I'm not doing this, all right? I had I had him.
I had him in my arms.
I know.
I get it.
Then you'll get it that I want to take my brother home now.
- All right? - Yeah.
I just want to take his body home.
Look erm .
.
I found this amongst your brother's things.
Thought you should have it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[BARNES ON PHONE.]
How did she seem? - Shaken up.
- What did she say? Er, nothing of value.
I mean, she's pretty much subterranean at this point.
She thinks we're out to get her.
Right.
Shit.
Oh, and I er, got hold of the criminal auditor's report.
Doctor Kareem Shirani is in the clear.
No evidence to connect the charity with known terrorists or terrorist funding.
There's no link to Almasi and Saif Ali Jaaz.
The family are free to repatriate the body.
So why did they murder him? Well, we'll have to find out.
OK.
So I'll get onto the husband, see if he's anymore forthcoming.
And what about the target? Any news? Danish? Nothing.
He's gone to ground.
OK.
Well, keep looking.
He's still a credible route to Saif Ali Jaaz.
Unless we frightened him off.
- All right, then.
- OK, bye.
As soon as the papers are ready, we'll leave.
Danish is here now? - Yeah.
- You saw him? How is he? Well, then we need to get him home, as soon as possible.
For Kareem's sake.
I know.
I will, OK? They're here! Mum! Sammi, Sammi, careful Hey, Mona.
- It's OK.
- Hey.
- Is he here? - Yeah.
- Thank you.
- He's home.
That's cos your aunty's a bloody hero.
- Heroine.
- What's the difference? Omar.
Luggage.
- Missed you.
- Missed you, too.
- Just stick them here, Omar.
- Jeez, what's in them? I don't know.
A lot.
Cheers, thanks a lot.
Mum with a bullet wound.
That's got to be worth some bragging rights.
- Go on, then.
Tell us.
- What happened? - Ah - You went for a walk - All on your own? - Yeah.
And some men tried to take her bag.
She didn't want to let them.
Yes, it was a silly and dangerous thing to do.
Hey, I'll get better soon.
And besides, it missed all the important bits.
OK now, my three wishes.
Come on, come on, quickly.
One .
.
two All right, but you have to take it outside.
- and three! - Sorry, guys.
- No, no! - [MUSIC STARTS PLAYING.]
It's not me, is it? It's not me, is it? You love this song? You want it louder?! - All right.
- [VOLUME INCREASES.]
Give! No, give me! Hi.
Come here.
I thought I'd lost you.
- [SMOKE ALARM, DOG BARKING.]
- SAMMI: Mum! - [LAUGHS.]
- Ammi set off the fire alarm.
Yeah, we know.
You're sure this is all right? Yeah.
No, it's good to keep moving.
Danny's out in Lahore.
Townsend told me.
So you didn't meet him out there, then? Mona.
- Look, I did, OK? - Right.
So you knew he was out there? I thought there was a small chance What, you didn't think to mention it? Guy, he's in trouble.
He needs help.
What help? We thought you were dead.
Your son thought you were dead.
So whatever the hell happened in Pakistan, whatever shit Danny is in, I'm sorry.
You've done your bit, yeah? Yes? Yeah.
Right.
What'd he say to you? He's a mess, Guy.
He's just a kid.
[PANTING ECHOES.]
Doctor Harcourt, it's Joe Townsend here.
I'm still in Lahore.
I'm doing everything I can to find your nephew.
I do need your help, so if you just pick up the phone.
Please [BEEP.]
ALMASI: It's like your elders, your mother and father, they're blind to the ugliness.
They're too drunk on their televisions and their dishwashers.
They don't see the children murdered by Yankee bombs in Aleppo.
They don't see this.
This.
Allah said in Surah too, hold fast to what you're given.
Everywhere you turn, there's folly and ignorance.
And ugliness.
I say to you, open your eyes.
The answer is staring you right in the face.
Take strength from the word of Allah.
We are part of something much bigger than you alone.
Here you belong.
We are your family now.
GUY: Yes, that's correct, sir.
And if you wouldn't mind signing here, that'd be wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Well, we are done.
That's great.
I'll come with you.
I was sorry to learn about your wife.
- My wife? - Some trouble I gather? Out in Lahore? Yes, er, there was.
Terrible what the world has become.
To be honest, it was probably my fault for letting her go in the first place.
If there is anything I can do, anything at all Thank you, sir.
That's very kind.
I'd be glad to help.
[CHILDREN LAUGHING.]
She keeps asking about her brother.
"Where's Danny? When's he coming home?" She reminds me so much of her dad.
The police gave me this.
Kareem wrote it.
You should keep it.
"Tell Rahana I'm sorry.
" "Sorry" At least you got a full sentence.
I just got, 'Tell Mona I' [LAUGHS, SNIFFS.]
Fat use.
"Tell Mona I" He never could finish anything he started, could he? No.
No, he could not.
I met Danny.
- Where? - In Lahore.
You knew he was there? I thought he might be.
He wants to come back home, but they've taken his passport.
He wants to come back home, He needs money.
How much? - £12,000.
- £12,000? What for? New papers, transport, safe passage.
Well, what's Guy say to that? I didn't tell him.
So what are we gonna do? I don't know.
We can't just leave him there, can we? Hey! [LAUGHS.]
You can do it! Come on! IMRAN: So I know.
I know how it is to be young in this world.
Everywhere you look there's temptation, yeah? It's hanging from the trees.
I know what it is.
And everybody's helping themselves and they look happy doing it.
But you know, right? You know it ain't good.
Your heart's telling you.
Because afterwards, you feel like what? Like filth.
Like you're walking bags of sin.
- You ever feel like that? - ALL: Yeah.
Yeah? You want to be clean, don't you? - ALL: Yes.
- That's right.
Clean.
Here and here.
Class dismissed.
Now, handouts for some of you layabouts, those that wanna get their brains in gear.
- Hi, hi.
- Assalaam.
Walaykum salaam.
I've come about my nephew.
Danish? Danish Shirani? I don't think I know him, sister.
He uh, actually, he came here last month.
In this room he saw a cleric by the name of Sheikh Almasi.
Sister, we need to talk.
Please, sit.
Listen, I want to give this Almasi man a message.
Will you just tell him, please, wherever he is, please just just don't hurt him, OK? We just want him back home.
Can you can you please give him that message for me? Good news? It could be worse.
Thanks for seeing me, Guy.
Tough week.
That is one way of putting it, yeah.
- Look you - Hello.
May I get you anything? No, thank you.
Your wife is perfectly understandably not rushing to return our calls.
So What's that? One of my officers has been out in Lahore preparing a report into the circumstances surrounding your wife's injury.
These were security guards.
Ex-military officers assigned by the consulate for your wife's protection.
They misjudged.
They thought she was being assaulted, fired once.
As a result, we are carrying out a root and branch review of our local security strategy, and offering your wife an unreserved written apology.
So you screwed up? Right.
Is that it? - For the time being, yes.
- Well - How is she? - Vivienne, what do you want? There are a few blanks surrounding your wife's visit.
- OK.
- And I must stress that at this point as far as I can see, - she wasn't breaking any laws.
- But? Perhaps you'd like to take this opportunity for her sake to explain how it was that your wife's nephew managed to bump into her? What did he say? - What did he want.
- Yes.
- I wish I knew.
- But she knew he was out there before she flew to Lahore.
No no, she did not.
Well, obviously I'll have to confirm that with her.
You do that.
Guy, look, I'm really, truly very sorry about all this.
I know it's not easy and I know you're under a lot of pressure with your work Vivienne Just stop.
[MOBILE PHONE RINGS.]
Hello? Hello? - It's me.
- Danny.
Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you sure? Yeah, I'm fine, I'm good.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Danny, what is it? Look, I don't want to ask, but I need that money.
Danny, Danny, look it's not that simple.
Danny, Danny, wait! [GUY ON VIDEO.]
Go on, Sammi.
I've never seen him move so fast! No, no.
Chuck it in the lake, in the lake! [LAUGHTER.]
Oh, no.
Sammi, I didn't really mean it [LAUGHTER AND CHATTER ON VIDEO.]
[CHEERING.]
- Do you remember? - Yeah.
[KAREEM ON VIDEO.]
Love you.
Love you, come here.
Come here.
[RAHANA ON VIDEO.]
It's all right, he'll be back soon.
- Daddy's girl, good girl.
Come on.
- Say bye.
Come on.
[ALL ON VIDEO.]
Bye! Bye! Love you.
DRAMATIC MUSIC [SPEAKS IN URDU.]
[IMAM SINGS PRAYERS.]
[CHATTERING AND CLATTERING OF CUTLERY.]
GUY: Do you remember in Bournemouth? - Look at that! - MAN: Ooh, that is good.
Literally no way you can have that Erm, everyone? I just want to erm, say look, I know this last week has been horrible.
And erm, we all know he was a bit of a saint, right? ELSPETH: Hear, hear! He was my beloved son.
I can't believe he's gone.
Yeah, well I'm not gonna bang on about his work for charity.
I'm gonna talk about me.
- GUY: Go on, then.
- I'm going back to the time when I was a small boy with a very sick dad.
The night we learned Daddy wasn't coming home.
Kareem, he took me aside and he said, 'Let's have a game of Scrabble.
' - [CHUCKLING.]
- And just so you know, I beat him.
- I beat him by 52 points.
- Yes [CLAPPING.]
Maybe he let me, I don't know.
What was great he erm .
.
he got so angry, he took the board, he threw it against the wall.
Big grin on his face.
He goes, 'I can't believe it.
This kid at ten beat me!' Do you know what? That's that's exactly what I needed.
I felt ten feet tall.
Nice one, Omar.
Nice of you to come and hold Ammi's hand.
[CHATTERING RESUMES.]
We sit here eating, with not a thought for Danish.
His own father's funeral.
He'll be back.
A mother should always know what her children are doing.
I knew, always.
Your husband was off to Pakistan while you sit at home - and now Danish - What? Danny's in Pakistan? - It's complicated.
- It's not clear.
- What's he doing in Pakistan? - We don't know that he's there.
- ANI: Mona! - OMAR: You knew and all? - Mona.
- Eh-eh-eh.
What is he doing in Pakistan? - Mona, listen to me.
- How dare she say that? - I Know.
- I practically brought him up - as if he were my own! - I Know.
She's just upset, OK? She didn't mean it.
Please That money for Danny.
You send it, all right? GUY: Just think about it.
Just stop - Mr Harcourt? - Yeah.
We'd like you to come with us to the station.
- Er, OK.
Sure.
- Darling, what I'm sure I'm sure it's fine.
What is he talking about, Guy? It's all right.
Erm, I-I I think they just want to ask me a couple of questions.
- It's all right.
- A couple of questions for what? I don't know.
I'll call you.
I-I'm sorry, where are you taking him? Guy You should go after him, I'll look after Sammi.
Just get your coat.
Come on.
Come on.
Do you mind telling me what the bloody hell is going on? You're being detained under Section 15.
3 of the Terrorism Act.
[SCOFFS.]
What? What what is that, even? It relates to the sending of funds to a known terrorist suspect.
Sorry? Hi.
Er, one of your officers brought my husband in.
His name is Guy Harcourt.
Is that your business account, Mr Harcourt? Er, yeah, yeah, it is.
Sorry, what does this have to do with my work? Can you confirm the sum of £12,000 was paid out of your account by BACS transfer last night? Yeah, you see no, this isn't me.
This is a mistake.
Erm I I don't know.
Maybe somebody hacked my account.
Guy.
Guy What? Did you think no-one would notice? We're aware you requested your solicitor.
However, I'm authorised to conduct an urgent interview with you in the interest of public safety.
Now I must caution you, you do not have to say anything but anything you do say may be given in evidence.
It just means you don't have to answer my questions, but if you do, your answers may be told to the court if you are later charged.
Would you prefer I called you Doctor Harcourt or may I call you Mona? I just want to confirm with you that this transfer was made by yourself? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Yes.
Using your own laptop? No, my husband's.
Then the account's not password protected? No, it is.
But I erm he keeps the password in a drawer at home.
You understand that it's a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act to provide material support for a suspected terrorist? He's not a terrorist.
He's being held in Lahore against his will.
His passport's been taken, everywhere he goes he's being watched.
He's desperate.
He begged me to help him.
There's a man there, for £12,000 can get him out of Pakistan.
Have you met this man? - No.
- Do you know his name? So who is it you think is watching your nephew? There's er a religious scholar.
Name? Sheikh Almasi.
Dare I ask why you didn't tell us any of this before now? Why didn't you tell me why you sent me out to Lahore? So I would lead you to my nephew, so you could kill him? Now, that shooting is the subject of a local And then I got shot! And as such, remains outside the remit of this interview.
I know I know he's been unbelievably stupid How did he meet his Almasi? A talk erm, on his campus.
And? I imagine he was recruited from there and invited out to Pakistan.
And who paid for his flight? You? - No.
- Your husband? - No.
- Then where did the money come from? - I don't know.
- And when were you first made aware that Danish was in Pakistan? When I spoke to him in Lahore.
And before then? Just that one time in Lahore? Think carefully before you answer that question.
- Yes.
- Just that one time? Right.
Is this your mobile phone number? For the tape, I'm presenting Doctor Harcourt with a log of calls made to and from her mobile phone.
This three-minute call highlighted here was made to a mobile phone.
Which we tracked back to Lahore.
There follow one, two, three further attempts to call that same number.
Did you make and receive these calls, Mona? Someone had to tell him that his father was dead.
Tell your nephew, Danish.
Yes, Danny.
And how did he receive the news? Oh, he was ecstatic [!.]
So it's your contention that he didn't know at this point that his father had been murdered? Is that what you're saying? No, he knew that his father was dead.
Did Danish mention during this conversation, or your further conversation, a terrorist cell calling itself Saif Ali Jaaz? No.
Do you know, or have you seen, any of the following? Now showing Doctor Harcourt exhibit JT/seven.
- No.
- JT/eight? No.
JT/11? I think I've seen this man in my surgery.
- When? - About two Actually, the day my brother died.
The day of the bomb at Ladbroke Grove? - Yes.
- Do you remember what time of day? Er, after the morning shift.
He asked me why I didn't wear a hi jab.
And are there any witnesses to this? Yeah, there was a nurse, Mark Langdon.
I'm sorry, what does any of this have to do with Danny? I can tell you that Danny has been marked to a network of telephone calls and other correspondence connecting these and other individuals, both here and in Pakistan, over a period of two months.
So you see the cause for concern.
In my judgement - In your judgement? Your nephew.
He's been targeted, turned, and is now being sheltered by extremists.
- No.
- And yet, despite all this, you sent £12,000.
In my book, the people that bankroll these terrorist acts are every bit as guilty as the sick martyrs that pull the pin.
I have known Danny all of my life Very good.
And what do you see? A bright, hard-working young boy? A model son? Doesn't it disturb you in the slightest the timing? Your own brother is murdered barely one hour after the attack in London.
What are you saying? How do you think these extremists recruit their volunteers? They drive a wedge between the volunteer and their family.
How were things at home? Danish's relationship with his father? It was normal.
Healthy.
- So no problems there? - None.
Right.
We are going to share with Doctor Harcourt Online correspondence, 23rd last month.
'My father is kafir.
He is without God.
' And then again on the 27th, 'Even taking his name in my mouth is dirty.
' And again on the 23rd, the week before your brother was killed.
[DANNY ON RECORDING.]
He's the worst.
My father is the worst of the worst.
[ALMASI ON RECORDING.]
Will you shun him? Will you shun him off? I already have.
That's that's not Danny.
How do you think they knew the route your brother took to the airport? How do you think they managed to identify the driver? Who do you imagine tipped them off? No, Danny would never do such a thing.
This group poses a very real danger on our shores and we believe that your nephew can provide life-saving intelligence on the ground.
What is it you want? [BUZZES.]
Mona, you've got to pick a side.
Danny's shown you he wants to come home.
Persuade him to work with us.
We want to get him out of there.
We need to get him back in Britain so he can assist us in building a case against this group.
Will you help us? [CAR HORNS BEEPING.]
Right.
Don't grab him until he gets the money out, OK? He has to have the money in his hand before you grab him.
- [BUZZES.]
- I'm now showing the interviewee surveillance tape dated 12th of last month.
That's three days before the suspect left for Lahore.
- [KNOCK AT DOOR.]
- Yeah? Excuse me.
Right, go.
Joe.
Joe, you have no jurisdiction in Lahore.
On no account make any attempt to apprehend the suspect.
Is that understood? Joe? Slowly, slowly, slowly Any contact must be voluntary.
He needs to talk of his own free will.
Is that understood? We need to go live on this.
Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow Right, that's it.
Nice, nice, nice, nice Repeat, do not attempt to detain the suspect.
Please acknowledge.
Perfect timing.
Here we go.
[TYRES SCREECH.]
- Just got him.
- You've got Danny Shirani in the car? Affirmative.
[WOMAN ON RECORDING.]
This is not a religious belief because you [DROWNED OUT BY CHATTERING.]
This was on his campus the day before he flew to Lahore.
[ANGRY SHOUTING.]
Help us help Danny.
Danny Shirani? Yeah.
I need a yes from you.
Yeah.
You're under British custody now.
I'm DS Townsend.
Do you understand? - Yeah.
- All right, good.
Here, give me that.
First, you need to identify some people for me.
A simple yes or no will do.
One? Two? And number three? That's a yes? Then say it.
Say yes.
- Yeah.
- All right, thank you.
That's a positive ID on number three.
They're being followed.
Joe, I need you to verify your exact location.
Anyone you know? Right, get rid of him.
Just gap him.
[TYRES SCREECH.]
Ma'am, comms on Townsend are down.
We've lost contact.
Back, get back! DS Townsend, please acknowledge my transmission.
Joe, can you hear me? - No! - Joe? Joe? Joe! No! No, no, no, no! [INDISTINCT AUDIO TRANSMISSION.]
Joe! My client would like to offer her assistance.
I think there may be somebody who can help.
Everything you say to your nephew on that phone is evidence.
You have to stick to the wording.
I've just heard that the police are investigating Mr Kalid's personal affairs.
Guy, you know anyone you can call? JOE: Yeah, it's a positive ID on number three.
Maybe that poor boy isn't who we think he is.
What was he doing in Lahore? What if Kareem was going to get Danny, but it was a trap? - I'm not listening to this.
- Danny? We're on the move.
- They're gonna do another one.
- Another what? Attack.
More attacks.
The consul are suggesting, if you were willing to go out to Pakistan that you would be the most effective person.
Guy, they lied to us.
They don't even need me here.
They told Townsend point blank that they've already identified the body.
They're trying to set me up.
Danish Shirani, flew out of Heathrow just over six weeks ago bound for Lahore.
Rubbish.
Danny.
Danny! Listen, we've got to get out of here, all right? I'm gonna take you home.
They took my passport.
- Who took your passport? - Almasi.
He's the preacher.

Right.
What'd he say to you? He's a mess, Guy.
He's just a kid.
[PANTING ECHOES.]
Doctor Harcourt, it's Joe Townsend here.
I'm still in Lahore.
I'm doing everything I can to find your nephew.
I do need your help, so if you just pick up the phone.
Please [BEEP.]
ALMASI: It's like your elders, your mother and father, they're blind to the ugliness.
They're too drunk on their televisions and their dishwashers.
They don't see the children murdered by Yankee bombs in Aleppo.
They don't see this.
This.
Allah said in Surah too, hold fast to what you're given.
Everywhere you turn, there's folly and ignorance.
And ugliness.
I say to you, open your eyes.
The answer is staring you right in the face.
Take strength from the word of Allah.
We are part of something much bigger than you alone.
Here you belong.
We are your family now.
GUY: Yes, that's correct, sir.
And if you wouldn't mind signing here, that'd be wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Well, we are done.
That's great.
I'll come with you.
I was sorry to learn about your wife.
- My wife? - Some trouble I gather? Out in Lahore? Yes, er, there was.
Terrible what the world has become.
To be honest, it was probably my fault for letting her go in the first place.
If there is anything I can do, anything at all Thank you, sir.
That's very kind.
I'd be glad to help.
[CHILDREN LAUGHING.]
She keeps asking about her brother.
"Where's Danny? When's he coming home?" She reminds me so much of her dad.
The police gave me this.
Kareem wrote it.
You should keep it.
"Tell Rahana I'm sorry.
" "Sorry" At least you got a full sentence.
I just got, 'Tell Mona I' [LAUGHS, SNIFFS.]
Fat use.
"Tell Mona I" He never could finish anything he started, could he? No.
No, he could not.
I met Danny.
- Where? - In Lahore.
You knew he was there? I thought he might be.
He wants to come back home, but they've taken his passport.
He wants to come back home, He needs money.
How much? - £12,000.
- £12,000? What for? New papers, transport, safe passage.
Well, what's Guy say to that? I didn't tell him.
So what are we gonna do? I don't know.
We can't just leave him there, can we? Hey! [LAUGHS.]
You can do it! Come on! IMRAN: So I know.
I know how it is to be young in this world.
Everywhere you look there's temptation, yeah? It's hanging from the trees.
I know what it is.
And everybody's helping themselves and they look happy doing it.
But you know, right? You know it ain't good.
Your heart's telling you.
Because afterwards, you feel like what? Like filth.
Like you're walking bags of sin.
- You ever feel like that? - ALL: Yeah.
Yeah? You want to be clean, don't you? - ALL: Yes.
- That's right.
Clean.
Here and here.
Class dismissed.
Now, handouts for some of you layabouts, those that wanna get their brains in gear.
- Hi, hi.
- Assalaam.
Walaykum salaam.
I've come about my nephew.
Danish? Danish Shirani? I don't think I know him, sister.
He uh, actually, he came here last month.
In this room he saw a cleric by the name of Sheikh Almasi.
Sister, we need to talk.
Please, sit.
Listen, I want to give this Almasi man a message.
Will you just tell him, please, wherever he is, please just just don't hurt him, OK? We just want him back home.
Can you can you please give him that message for me? Good news? It could be worse.
Thanks for seeing me, Guy.
Tough week.
That is one way of putting it, yeah.
- Look you - Hello.
May I get you anything? No, thank you.
Your wife is perfectly understandably not rushing to return our calls.
So What's that? One of my officers has been out in Lahore preparing a report into the circumstances surrounding your wife's injury.
These were security guards.
Ex-military officers assigned by the consulate for your wife's protection.
They misjudged.
They thought she was being assaulted, fired once.
As a result, we are carrying out a root and branch review of our local security strategy, and offering your wife an unreserved written apology.
So you screwed up? Right.
Is that it? - For the time being, yes.
- Well - How is she? - Vivienne, what do you want? There are a few blanks surrounding your wife's visit.
- OK.
- And I must stress that at this point as far as I can see, - she wasn't breaking any laws.
- But? Perhaps you'd like to take this opportunity for her sake to explain how it was that your wife's nephew managed to bump into her? What did he say? - What did he want.
- Yes.
- I wish I knew.
- But she knew he was out there before she flew to Lahore.
No no, she did not.
Well, obviously I'll have to confirm that with her.
You do that.
Guy, look, I'm really, truly very sorry about all this.
I know it's not easy and I know you're under a lot of pressure with your work Vivienne Just stop.
[MOBILE PHONE RINGS.]
Hello? Hello? - It's me.
- Danny.
Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you sure? Yeah, I'm fine, I'm good.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Danny, what is it? Look, I don't want to ask, but I need that money.
Danny, Danny, look it's not that simple.
Danny, Danny, wait! [GUY ON VIDEO.]
Go on, Sammi.
I've never seen him move so fast! No, no.
Chuck it in the lake, in the lake! [LAUGHTER.]
Oh, no.
Sammi, I didn't really mean it [LAUGHTER AND CHATTER ON VIDEO.]
[CHEERING.]
- Do you remember? - Yeah.
[KAREEM ON VIDEO.]
Love you.
Love you, come here.
Come here.
[RAHANA ON VIDEO.]
It's all right, he'll be back soon.
- Daddy's girl, good girl.
Come on.
- Say bye.
Come on.
[ALL ON VIDEO.]
Bye! Bye! Love you.
DRAMATIC MUSIC [SPEAKS IN URDU.]
[IMAM SINGS PRAYERS.]
[CHATTERING AND CLATTERING OF CUTLERY.]
GUY: Do you remember in Bournemouth? - Look at that! - MAN: Ooh, that is good.
Literally no way you can have that Erm, everyone? I just want to erm, say look, I know this last week has been horrible.
And erm, we all know he was a bit of a saint, right? ELSPETH: Hear, hear! He was my beloved son.
I can't believe he's gone.
Yeah, well I'm not gonna bang on about his work for charity.
I'm gonna talk about me.
- GUY: Go on, then.
- I'm going back to the time when I was a small boy with a very sick dad.
The night we learned Daddy wasn't coming home.
Kareem, he took me aside and he said, 'Let's have a game of Scrabble.
' - [CHUCKLING.]
- And just so you know, I beat him.
- I beat him by 52 points.
- Yes [CLAPPING.]
Maybe he let me, I don't know.
What was great he erm .
.
he got so angry, he took the board, he threw it against the wall.
Big grin on his face.
He goes, 'I can't believe it.
This kid at ten beat me!' Do you know what? That's that's exactly what I needed.
I felt ten feet tall.
Nice one, Omar.
Nice of you to come and hold Ammi's hand.
[CHATTERING RESUMES.]
We sit here eating, with not a thought for Danish.
His own father's funeral.
He'll be back.
A mother should always know what her children are doing.
I knew, always.
Your husband was off to Pakistan while you sit at home - and now Danish - What? Danny's in Pakistan? - It's complicated.
- It's not clear.
- What's he doing in Pakistan? - We don't know that he's there.
- ANI: Mona! - OMAR: You knew and all? - Mona.
- Eh-eh-eh.
What is he doing in Pakistan? - Mona, listen to me.
- How dare she say that? - I Know.
- I practically brought him up - as if he were my own! - I Know.
She's just upset, OK? She didn't mean it.
Please That money for Danny.
You send it, all right? GUY: Just think about it.
Just stop - Mr Harcourt? - Yeah.
We'd like you to come with us to the station.
- Er, OK.
Sure.
- Darling, what I'm sure I'm sure it's fine.
What is he talking about, Guy? It's all right.
Erm, I-I I think they just want to ask me a couple of questions.
- It's all right.
- A couple of questions for what? I don't know.
I'll call you.
I-I'm sorry, where are you taking him? Guy You should go after him, I'll look after Sammi.
Just get your coat.
Come on.
Come on.
Do you mind telling me what the bloody hell is going on? You're being detained under Section 15.
3 of the Terrorism Act.
[SCOFFS.]
What? What what is that, even? It relates to the sending of funds to a known terrorist suspect.
Sorry? Hi.
Er, one of your officers brought my husband in.
His name is Guy Harcourt.
Is that your business account, Mr Harcourt? Er, yeah, yeah, it is.
Sorry, what does this have to do with my work? Can you confirm the sum of £12,000 was paid out of your account by BACS transfer last night? Yeah, you see no, this isn't me.
This is a mistake.
Erm I I don't know.
Maybe somebody hacked my account.
Guy.
Guy What? Did you think no-one would notice? We're aware you requested your solicitor.
However, I'm authorised to conduct an urgent interview with you in the interest of public safety.
Now I must caution you, you do not have to say anything but anything you do say may be given in evidence.
It just means you don't have to answer my questions, but if you do, your answers may be told to the court if you are later charged.
Would you prefer I called you Doctor Harcourt or may I call you Mona? I just want to confirm with you that this transfer was made by yourself? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Yes.
Using your own laptop? No, my husband's.
Then the account's not password protected? No, it is.
But I erm he keeps the password in a drawer at home.
You understand that it's a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act to provide material support for a suspected terrorist? He's not a terrorist.
He's being held in Lahore against his will.
His passport's been taken, everywhere he goes he's being watched.
He's desperate.
He begged me to help him.
There's a man there, for £12,000 can get him out of Pakistan.
Have you met this man? - No.
- Do you know his name? So who is it you think is watching your nephew? There's er a religious scholar.
Name? Sheikh Almasi.
Dare I ask why you didn't tell us any of this before now? Why didn't you tell me why you sent me out to Lahore? So I would lead you to my nephew, so you could kill him? Now, that shooting is the subject of a local And then I got shot! And as such, remains outside the remit of this interview.
I know I know he's been unbelievably stupid How did he meet his Almasi? A talk erm, on his campus.
And? I imagine he was recruited from there and invited out to Pakistan.
And who paid for his flight? You? - No.
- Your husband? - No.
- Then where did the money come from? - I don't know.
- And when were you first made aware that Danish was in Pakistan? When I spoke to him in Lahore.
And before then? Just that one time in Lahore? Think carefully before you answer that question.
- Yes.
- Just that one time? Right.
Is this your mobile phone number? For the tape, I'm presenting Doctor Harcourt with a log of calls made to and from her mobile phone.
This three-minute call highlighted here was made to a mobile phone.
Which we tracked back to Lahore.
There follow one, two, three further attempts to call that same number.
Did you make and receive these calls, Mona? Someone had to tell him that his father was dead.
Tell your nephew, Danish.
Yes, Danny.
And how did he receive the news? Oh, he was ecstatic [!.]
So it's your contention that he didn't know at this point that his father had been murdered? Is that what you're saying? No, he knew that his father was dead.
Did Danish mention during this conversation, or your further conversation, a terrorist cell calling itself Saif Ali Jaaz? No.
Do you know, or have you seen, any of the following? Now showing Doctor Harcourt exhibit JT/seven.
- No.
- JT/eight? No.
JT/11? I think I've seen this man in my surgery.
- When? - About two Actually, the day my brother died.
The day of the bomb at Ladbroke Grove? - Yes.
- Do you remember what time of day? Er, after the morning shift.
He asked me why I didn't wear a hi jab.
And are there any witnesses to this? Yeah, there was a nurse, Mark Langdon.
I'm sorry, what does any of this have to do with Danny? I can tell you that Danny has been marked to a network of telephone calls and other correspondence connecting these and other individuals, both here and in Pakistan, over a period of two months.
So you see the cause for concern.
In my judgement - In your judgement? Your nephew.
He's been targeted, turned, and is now being sheltered by extremists.
- No.
- And yet, despite all this, you sent £12,000.
In my book, the people that bankroll these terrorist acts are every bit as guilty as the sick martyrs that pull the pin.
I have known Danny all of my life Very good.
And what do you see? A bright, hard-working young boy? A model son? Doesn't it disturb you in the slightest the timing? Your own brother is murdered barely one hour after the attack in London.
What are you saying? How do you think these extremists recruit their volunteers? They drive a wedge between the volunteer and their family.
How were things at home? Danish's relationship with his father? It was normal.
Healthy.
- So no problems there? - None.
Right.
We are going to share with Doctor Harcourt Online correspondence, 23rd last month.
'My father is kafir.
He is without God.
' And then again on the 27th, 'Even taking his name in my mouth is dirty.
' And again on the 23rd, the week before your brother was killed.
[DANNY ON RECORDING.]
He's the worst.
My father is the worst of the worst.
[ALMASI ON RECORDING.]
Will you shun him? Will you shun him off? I already have.
That's that's not Danny.
How do you think they knew the route your brother took to the airport? How do you think they managed to identify the driver? Who do you imagine tipped them off? No, Danny would never do such a thing.
This group poses a very real danger on our shores and we believe that your nephew can provide life-saving intelligence on the ground.
What is it you want? [BUZZES.]
Mona, you've got to pick a side.
Danny's shown you he wants to come home.
Persuade him to work with us.
We want to get him out of there.
We need to get him back in Britain so he can assist us in building a case against this group.
Will you help us? [CAR HORNS BEEPING.]
Right.
Don't grab him until he gets the money out, OK? He has to have the money in his hand before you grab him.
- [BUZZES.]
- I'm now showing the interviewee surveillance tape dated 12th of last month.
That's three days before the suspect left for Lahore.
- [KNOCK AT DOOR.]
- Yeah? Excuse me.
Right, go.
Joe.
Joe, you have no jurisdiction in Lahore.
On no account make any attempt to apprehend the suspect.
Is that understood? Joe? Slowly, slowly, slowly Any contact must be voluntary.
He needs to talk of his own free will.
Is that understood? We need to go live on this.
Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow Right, that's it.
Nice, nice, nice, nice Repeat, do not attempt to detain the suspect.
Please acknowledge.
Perfect timing.
Here we go.
[TYRES SCREECH.]
- Just got him.
- You've got Danny Shirani in the car? Affirmative.
[WOMAN ON RECORDING.]
This is not a religious belief because you [DROWNED OUT BY CHATTERING.]
This was on his campus the day before he flew to Lahore.
[ANGRY SHOUTING.]
Help us help Danny.
Danny Shirani? Yeah.
I need a yes from you.
Yeah.
You're under British custody now.
I'm DS Townsend.
Do you understand? - Yeah.
- All right, good.
Here, give me that.
First, you need to identify some people for me.
A simple yes or no will do.
One? Two? And number three? That's a yes? Then say it.
Say yes.
- Yeah.
- All right, thank you.
That's a positive ID on number three.
They're being followed.
Joe, I need you to verify your exact location.
Anyone you know? Right, get rid of him.
Just gap him.
[TYRES SCREECH.]
Ma'am, comms on Townsend are down.
We've lost contact.
Back, get back! DS Townsend, please acknowledge my transmission.
Joe, can you hear me? - No! - Joe? Joe? Joe! No! No, no, no, no! [INDISTINCT AUDIO TRANSMISSION.]
Joe! My client would like to offer her assistance.
I think there may be somebody who can help.
Everything you say to your nephew on that phone is evidence.
You have to stick to the wording.
I've just heard that the police are investigating Mr Kalid's personal affairs.
Guy, you know anyone you can call? JOE: Yeah, it's a positive ID on number three.
Maybe that poor boy isn't who we think he is.
What was he doing in Lahore? What if Kareem was going to get Danny, but it was a trap? - I'm not listening to this.
- Danny? We're on the move.
- They're gonna do another one.
- Another what? Attack.
More attacks.
