Spooks s01e03 Episode Script

One Last Dance

(TOM) OK, Zoe, the State Consulate of Turkey.
What's your legend?.
- My cover is Emily Arlington, PR consultant.
- Your way in?.
I've a date with a Turkish travel agent called Sonay Alkan.
He's invited me to a consulate drinks party.
It's just a routine device check, Zoe.
Minimum kit only.
Be careful in there.
Emily, you look slightly Turkish.
Yeah! Emily, I should've told you this.
Turkey's looking to host the next Olympics.
As a travel agent and promoter of Turkey, they called me.
- Yeah?.
- Ozan, the Attaché General, is a traditional man.
- And?.
- Well, I sort of - Sort of what?.
- Told him I was married.
- No - Just married.
- Absolutely not! - Only for an hour! Please, I need this.
If I can get my company into the Olympic bid, I'll owe you big time.
I'm not very good at bullshitting people.
You told me you worked in PR! You're late.
I had to see an old friend.
I've been away 15 years.
All I have is today.
Know what?.
I don't owe these people shit.
You, however, are holding a down payment which I intend to collect.
If there's any more deviations from the plan, you tell me first.
Where is she?.
- Did he give you the swift codes?.
- Course he did.
He loves his daughter.
- I suppose I don't work, right?.
- Why would you want to?.
I'm rich.
Afternoon, sir.
Can I see your invitations, please?.
- What are you doing?.
- Blending in, my man.
Just blending in.
- What do you want?.
- Heard something serious.
- Yeah, course you did! - You're not bugged up, are you?.
Stan, today's Saturday.
It's my family day.
It's my birthday.
- It's just me.
- I'm just making sure I'm safe.
You are.
Just don't look up.
Satellite's tracking my position.
Hold on.
One of the Haseem family told me that four British men approached him a few days ago.
- Northern accents, but traveled.
They had tans.
- Did they?.
Definitely ex-military, he reckoned.
Looking to purchase SD Hecklers, short-stock AKs.
Could cause some serious carnage with that little lot, my man.
Thanks very much, but stick to informing the police.
I'm busy.
Hey, what do I get?.
I could be good for yer! Thought Crystal Palace were playing today.
Yeah.
Is it not a big match, then?.
- What about you?.
- Oh, you know.
Catching up on paperwork.
She collected them from kids' meals.
For her godson, I think.
Helen's mum wanted all her personals after the funeral.
Make sure there's nothing in there that's Well, you know.
I will.
- I don't even have a ring.
- One last thing.
- Last week we found out you're pregnant.
- What?.
! Sonay! You lied to me.
You said she was beautiful.
She is so much more than that.
- Pleased to meet you.
- A woman in your condition must sit down.
- Have I told you about the new branch?.
- I'll just go and find the ladies'.
(CAR HORN) (ELEVATOR WHIRRS) (ELEVATOR BELL) (FOOTSTEPS) You won't find a more dedicated travel company in Turkey.
(OZAN COUGHS) That's the last one, Ozan.
I'll have someone fetch you another.
Stop fussing, woman.
I'm fine.
My husband is also stubborn.
So, Emily, how many months?.
I told you not to tell anyone! He's so excited.
On your knees! On your knees! Everyone against the wall! Move! Move! Do not look at me! Face the wall! - (PHONE RINGS) - Yes?.
Danny, we just got a flash message from Zoe's mobile.
Down! Hands on head! - Stay there! - I will do this! Leyla! This is not your fight, this is ours! Till we're out of here, you stay out of my way! Is that clear?.
! (WOMAN SHOUTS ORDERS) Get Tom and Tessa.
COBRA will be looking to us for answers.
Explaining to the Cabinet why we're already there might be embarrassing.
- If the terrorists get her - I know.
All the more reason to get you there.
Scotland Yard and the SAS'll want the building wired for sound.
You know the layout.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS) - Danny.
- Tom, this is coming in from Zoe's phone.
My name is Leyla Bakuri.
Today the people of the world will not close its eyes to the genocide of my people.
No longer will we suffer in silence or tolerate oppression and we will fight for the future of our children! We, however .
.
are not animals and wish you no harm, but we will not hesitate to kill anyone who tries to stop us.
- Tom, Zoe's in there.
- I know, I know.
I put her there.
- Should be any second now, Mum.
- (PHONE RINGS) Matthew! Mum, it's Matthew! Where are you?.
Hey, I need to talk to your mother.
I've been called to the office.
There's a problem.
It's my fault so I need to fix it.
- Matthew, it's your birthday.
- Systems have crashed.
I can't make excuses for you.
Fix whatever's broken and come home.
Turn around! Now, now! Turn around! Turn around! Turn around! Don't move! The kids are tucked up in bed.
The babysitters seem competent.
Secure the room and move out.
Ozan Cozar.
Will Ozan Cozar step forward, please?.
- Yes.
- No, please! Don't do this! Please, please! Please stop them! Let him go! He's not well! Please, please, don't do this to him! (SOBS) Ozan! Oh, God, please! That is her last transmission.
Now, five targets happy for us to see their faces.
We're working on ID'ing them now.
The other three were less obliging.
- This indicates they have a way out.
- I met an otherwise useless contact.
He got fifth-hand news that four British men wanted to buy Hecklers, AKs and C4 plastics.
- Not so useless.
- We're onto that now.
- Guns for hire?.
- Possibly military.
Judging by this, they are.
Guns for hire means serious finance.
- What did Johnny say?.
- Don't worry.
He's paid us to look after you.
We'll secure the roof and any other insertion points.
This is the only secure room, OK?.
How will you get out?.
You don't need to worry about us.
- Name! - PC Steven Bowers.
Please, I want to be with my husband.
- I beg you, please! - You will be! You will be very soon.
Name! Name! (SHOUTS) Name! Name! My husband's name is Sonay.
Sonay Alkan.
(TOM) Support groups, port lists, Kurdish asylum seekers, bank accounts.
- We need to know who we're dealing with.
- Copy that.
The police negotiator's concern will be to secure the release of every hostage, including Zoe.
They need to know who they're dealing with, what they want, what they might bargain for.
The Turks want to join the EU, host the Olympic Games, become a main player internationally.
In the current climate, the Americans need as many Muslim allies as they can get.
Zoe's cover name is Emily Arlington.
Make sure that's on the list.
Tessa, you can be her next of kin.
Her mother.
- What's Zoe doing there?.
- Annual check on our units.
- So she has identifiable equipment.
- Only if you know what it is.
Malcolm?.
The Kurdish were promised an independent state after the First World War.
In 1923, the British Foreign Secretary and a shareholder in an oil company discovered the amount of oil in the region and the treaty was suddenly renegotiated.
The Kurds lost out to Iran, Iraq, Turkey.
Now they are unwanted guests in those countries.
Yes, but that's all in the past.
The point is the Turkish are very patriotic.
They won't give up their lands as easily as the Kurdish would like.
- (DANNY) A siege isn't gonna help.
- A breakaway faction of the KFF think it is.
(HARRY) Chalak Bakuri.
Leyla Bakuri.
Brother and sister.
Both parents imprisoned for actions against the state.
- We know two of her demands.
- She hardly has an impressive track record.
No, but little brother Chalak has.
Suspected of targeting government and military installations.
Suicidal?.
They'll use whatever tactics necessary to bring their cause to a world stage.
Suicide bombings haven't so far been a tactic.
Nor has taking over government buildings.
We have one card up our sleeve.
Zoe.
Let's play it well.
Please stop them, someone! Stop! Please! No! Stop them, someone! Please! No! Stop them! Ozan, no! Leave him! Please, please! Ozan! (SIRENS) (SHOUTS) You see?.
Dynamite! You see?.
! (WIFE SOBS) We're checking with our agents and sources, monitoring all news channels.
So far, nothing.
Danny, make sure Section B give you thermal imaging.
We have to know what's going on.
- Anything from your contact?.
- No.
- Zoe can be thankful of one thing.
- What?.
They usually let the women out first.
Why are you interested in Johnny Marks in the middle of a bloody siege?.
- He was our man in Iran.
- That right?.
- He worked for us in the Middle East, recruiting.
- The only person he worked for was himself.
He sold information to the highest bidder.
Anyway, he's been dead 15 years.
He sympathized with the Kurds.
They probably helped him move from country to country.
Marks betrayed the entire British intelligence community as well as most of the Arab states.
Then he moved onto the Irish.
Big mistake.
A car bomb put paid to his treachery.
The man in that car is Johnny Marks.
I identified his remains - what little was left of him.
It's him.
I know it's him.
(GIRL SOBS) (SOBBING CONTINUES) (GIRL SOBS) Your father should choose more wisely the people he works for.
No, please! (SHE CONTINUES SOBBING) (WHISPERS) They won't let them walk out of here.
Government policy's changed.
See, we can't give in to terrorism, no matter what.
If it all kicks off, stay close to me, OK?.
- My government will not negotiate with them.
- Maybe it's time they did.
Have you ever been to Turkey?.
No, no, I haven't.
You should.
It's very beautiful.
You would love it.
I believe that one day we will be able to share that land with the Kurdish.
If our nations can put aside our differences.
Shut up.
The government want a worst-case scenario, so they can blame us and halve our budget.
Would they?.
They wouldn't want to.
I know where they live.
Position, Alpha One?.
Entering the building next to the target.
Moving up staircase to first-floor landing.
Dining hall on your left.
Balcony runs to the target.
Wall is three feet thick.
Copy.
This bag! Whose is this bag?.
! OK, now, one more time, the person who owns this handbag, please step away from the wall! Danny.
OK, camera going in.
Stand by.
We're through, but I'm not getting anything.
- Go to thermal.
- Thermal.
- What's going on?.
- We've come across counter-insertion devices.
These guys know what they're doing.
No way in.
Get me sound.
I want to know what's going on in there.
Whose handbag is this?.
You want to play games?.
Sakar, shoot the policeman.
Sakar, shoot the policeman.
- Shit! - What's going on?.
- Alpha team, talk to me.
- Not sure.
One round has been fired.
(TOM) If they've killed a hostage, Special Forces will be going in.
(DANNY) We have sound, Charlie One.
I wi ll ki ll this man! (LEYLA) Whose is this bag? It's mi ne.
Thank you.
- My sister's kids playing with my handbag.
- Why did you not come forward?.
- Because you're carrying a machine gun.
- What would a housewife want with these?.
A presentfor my husband.
I thought they'd be fun.
(LEYLA) Fun for your husband? - Let's have some fun.
- No! Please! I just wanna be left alone! Your wife tells us she bought this for you for fun.
Useful if you get locked out of your house! - Who does she work for?.
- Please! (SONAY SOBS) I'm just a travel agent! I don't know I don't know about all this! - She's not - She's not what?.
She's not my wife.
I've only known her for a few weeks.
- (HE SOBS) - Not your wife.
I've only just met her, OK? I just needed to make it look like I was married - for business, OK?.
I don't care for her and I don't know her.
She's nothing to me! Who do you work for?.
My name is Emily Arlington and I work for Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Sir, I need permission to make contact with RW.
Of the utmost importance, yes.
To avoid the worst-case scenario, yes.
Sir.
- Roger, this line is secure.
- Get off this line! - Roger.
- I can't talk to you.
(GIRL SOBS) (PHONE RINGS) - Yes?.
- We're in position.
OK.
Go.
- What else didn't you tell us?.
- I was in love.
- Did Johnny ever ask you how we paid him?.
- No.
It was 15 years ago.
I mean - Oh, shit! - Jesus, Tessa! We're talking about Johnny Marks, for Christ's sake! He knew our government wouldn't pay him direct.
He also knew that if he could find the bank we used to make agents' payments, that alone would be worth a fortune.
Nobody knows which bank we use.
I don't have that information.
I do.
You ran Johnny Marks.
You also worked for me.
He follows you.
You lead him to me.
I lead him to a private and obscure bank.
He knows the bank we use.
The only man with access to the accounts - he's kidnapped his daughter.
You see the dilemma we face.
(DOOR BUZZES) - You gave him the swift codes?.
- What else could I do?.
! - Given him the wrong numbers.
- They took her with them! What was I to do?.
They said if I came to see you, they'd kill her! What are you going to do?.
- Great view.
What the hell is going on?.
- I can't do this! How could you let this happen?.
Jesus Christ, she's just a girl! Roger, Roger.
This is the man who will get your daughter back.
Tell him everything.
Calm down.
Roger runs the bank we use to pay our agents all around the world.
Until today, only three people knew its location - myself, Roger and the director of 5.
Now one other knows.
Johnny Marks.
- Johnny Marks?.
I thought he was dead.
- So did I.
Roger.
The MOD credits our bank.
We credit the accounts of agents working for 5 and SIS.
To protect the agent from a trace, we use swift codes.
They allow us access to the MOD's accounts or the agents' accounts with protected ease.
Swift codes are keys that unlock the bank accounts.
If someone got the codes and knew where the computer was, he could transfer millions And he'd be able to trace the personal details of every undercover agent MI5 and MI6 use.
If the next world war hangs on who knows what about whom, we've lost.
- And Johnny has the codes.
- The location of the bank, the codes.
He's seen an opportunity with the Kurds and he'll use it.
If Marks accesses that bank, this country will face the biggest threat to national security in years.
- The three guns for hire are working for him.
- My bank is five doors from the consulate.
- This whole thing is a cover.
- This is our business.
No one else's.
If Marks accesses the MOD's accounts, he'll get the names of every informant and spy we have.
Years of intelligence down the drain.
Now, that really would be a tragedy.
One you and I will not walk away from, so you get in there and you stop him.
- You in? - We're in.
Swift codesOscar .

Yes, you beauty! Johnny Marks, you are the man! How much do you want?.
Transfer 15 million into my account.
Then download, and you mail over the names.
- She's making her demands.
- Bit late.
The SAS are here.
Get Danny back.
(LEYLA) We demand the immediate release of Pejan Bakuri, Zana Bakuri, Niyal Okcus and Shivan Izmir.
We will only negotiate with the person responsible for the intelligence officer I have here in my possession.
Not the police.
Is that clear? (SHE HANGS UP) - Alpha One.
- Talk of the devil.
Special Forces are on site.
Get back to base.
- Charlie One, what about Zoe?.
Over.
- Get back to base, Alpha.
Out.
Your call cannot be answered.
Leave a message after the tone.
Ellie, it's me.
This thing's taking longer to fix than I thought.
Pick up, please.
OK.
Listen, I was thinking about what you said.
Everything I do now is about you and Maisie.
Whatever happens, I want you to know that.
Kiss her for me, please.
Where's Danny?.
Yes, si r, I 've i nformed Tom Quinn.
He's briefing our team.
I'll let you know as soon as the bank's secure.
The siege continues at the State Consulate of Turkey, where there's a stand-off between the terrorists and armed police.
Witnesses report seven or eight armed men rushing the building at 2 p.
m.
Only two have been seen, when the Attaché General was brought out onto the balcony.
(GI RL SOBS) There's only one entrance.
They've engineered this so we'd look at the siege.
We can use that to our advantage.
This a strictly need-to-know operation.
No one must find out what that really bank does.
(PHONE RINGS) - Transfer that list of names and addresses.
- Why would I wanna do that?.
- Look, Johnny, it's just a joke.
- I'm glad we understand each other.
Get it done.
We need to get out of there.
Our people raped, murdered.
Our children denied their heritage.
We have nothing, but we do have everything to fight for.
This, you, the Turkish, call it terrorism.
I call it war and it's one worth fighting for! - This This isn't going to help your cause.
- What are you talking about?.
The world's media is out there right now discussing our cause.
Your people are listening.
We have already won a great victory.
Why?.
'Cause you're holding guns to our heads?.
Would you be listening if we were not?.
You can help these people get out of here alive.
(PHONE RINGS) - You wanted to speak to me?.
- I believe I have something you want.
The Turkish government definitely has something we want.
The Turkish government will free the Kurdish prisoners in exchange for our prisoners' lives.
We're in contact with the Turkish government.
We're doing all we can.
This will take time.
Time to assess the easiest way of killing us! Time to present options to the Turks.
You have the world's attention.
Why rush it?.
- Is there anything you need? - A Trojan horse?.
Isn't that what you mean?.
Send supplies in attached with bugging devices.
No, thank you.
We can also just do pizzas with the classic toppings will be the first to die! Excellent.
That went rather well, didn't it?.
They still don't know who the terrorists are or what their demands might be.
If we got film of the Kurdish prisoners, could you make it look like they were being freed?.
- If I had a week and George Lucas's people - You just have to make it look believable.
This is Alpha team.
We have no way in.
The roof is blocked and the street is out.
Harry, Alpha team has no way in so Marks's team have no way out.
- If we go in there, all hell will break loose.
- (DOOR OPENS) - I didn't say come in! Did I say come in?.
! - War Room tunnels run underneath that road.
Secret Services built them in World War II.
They link all the houses.
Did you hear that?.
Get Danny down there now.
Thank you.
- It's a maze down here, Charlie One! - There should be a doorway on your left.
Take it.
- Tom, archive footage of the Kurdish prisoners.
- Good.
I think, with a bit of editing, I can make it look like they're being freed.
We can get the cable company to feed this in through the street box.
- If they have someone on the outside?.
- Let's hope they haven't got cable yet.
(OZAN WHEEZES ASTHMATICALLY) We're there, Charlie One, but there's a steel door blocking the entrance.
Please, help him! He's asthmatic! - Please! He needs an inhaler! - (CHALAK) Shut up, woman! The Attaché General, he is unwell.
If anything happens to him, the Turkish will give us nothing.
Let us bring the medication he needs.
No one has to come in.
Just take it and give it to him.
YOU will bring the medication.
No one else.
- Straight exchange, no heroics, OK?.
- Of course.
The lives of these people rest on you.
If you try anything, Mr Cozar will not require his medication and Chalak here will be only too happy to make sure you join him.
- We're ready to go.
- We're ready.
Tensions are running high at the consulate Channel One.
- (TV) It's been confirmed that the Turkish - (SHOUTS) Chalak! Pejan Bakuri, Zana Bakuri, Niyal Okcus and Shivan Izmir are among those being freed.
The Turkish government has not released a statement.
We'll bring you that when we get it.
How are you doi ng?.
I 've been better.
(CHALAK) The medicine! Hurry up! John.
Your men, where are they?.
- (HOSTAGE GIRL SOBS) - You said they were here.
They have left us.
(SAKAR TALKS EXCITEDLY IN KURDISH) (CONTINUES TALKING EXCITEDLY) (GIRL SOBS HYSTERICALLY) (DANNY) We're through! We're in the basement of the bank now! Chalak! (GUNSHOTS) Chalak! Tom! (SIRENS APPROACHING) (SIREN) - Chalak! - You, hands up! Put up your hands! Turn around! Where's Marks?.
Where's Johnny Marks?.
! What we have done will never be forgotten! My brother will not be forgotten! What will you be remembered for?.
You don't exist, do you, Emily?.
(SOLDIER) Move it, move it, move it, move! Move it! Come on, move it! There's a phone call for you, sir.
She's OK.
Nice place.
I'd always imagined you'd be married.
Three kids, Labrador, living in Surrey, BMW in the driveway.
At the very least, the head of the agency.
How much will you get?.
How much are all those agents' lives worth?.
Jesus, you really don't give a shit, do you?.
What happened, Tess?.
- What happened to the dreams?.
- You know they'll come after you.
You wanted so much more.
You have the money.
Don't sell the names as well.
What happened?.
You really want to know?.
I was pregnant.
Found out a few weeks after theydiscovered your body.
I let it grow in me and I've never felt so whole since.
After just five months .
.
Iike you, she left me.
- She?.
- A girl.
That's twice you broke my heart.
I had your life in me.
(PHONE RINGS) Leave it.
It's for you.
Hello.
Did you give her a name?.
Yes.
Definitely more me, wouldn't you say?.
I thought you looked stunning myself.
What are you gonna tell her?.
I don't know.
I wish I hadn't turned down the offer of a painkiller, though.
- Might've taken the edge off telling the truth.
- Hey, steady.
- Goodnight, Tom.
- Goodnight.
- Outstanding effort.
- I'm not done yet.
You see, you created me.
You trained me, manipulated me.
The West manipulates entire countries, then acts so shocked when they rip off the hand that fed them.
Who was in the car?.
My brother.
Your people got the wrong man.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- 3,000 agents' names and addresses.
All of them out there trying to affect the course of world events.
Why?.
Because this country can't stop trying to punch above its own weight.
You know the part I'm going to miss most?.
The part where you have to explain away the loss of £15 million.
You are not just going to walk away from this.
How much are 3,000 agents' names worth?.
Are you prepared to sacrifice all those people just for me?.
I walk.
You get the names.
- How do I know I can trust you?.
- Because I have never broken my word.
Know this.
I never send my people to do my dirty work.
I always do it myself.
If those agents' names are revealed, I won't make the mistake I made with your brother.
- You fixed it, then?.
- Kind of.
(QUIETLY) Happy birthday.
(SIRENS) - It is the President's visit?.
- Yeah.
The disruption will be bigger than Stockholm.
We've been bugging an anarcho's flat.
- I am the thing they fear the most.
- I'm a spy.
We gonna kill him?.
Tell Maisie or I leave you.
Stressful day.
