Treason (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Zoe? Get everybody in.
This is category A.
I need everything we have
on Anton Melnikov.
- Tell everyone to report to my office.
- Of course.
- Pete, pick up the pace, please.
- Yes, sir.
- Guys, come on.
- Sorry, sir, but I need you to hold here.
What? That's my office in there.
Charlie Alpha four
- Frank, who's he talking to?
- I have no idea.
Olamide, what's going on?
- Your clearance has been revoked.
- On whose orders?
Sir Martin's.
I don't know what he's told you,
but we have a crisis.
- I need to get into my office.
- I can't help you with that.
I'll need your phone and your pass.
- Dad, have you been fired?
- Look, it's all right, son.
Can you repeat that?
This is a big mistake.
All right, guys, we're gonna go.
- Where are we going?
- Somewhere safe.
Dede. Dede, he saw me.
He fucking saw me!
He knows I was there working with you.
He must've found
the tracker in his wallet.
He dropped us
as soon as he left the South Bank.
We finally made a definitive ID,
thanks to you.
Kara Yusova. No longer a ghost.
After Baku, she only crops up on the grid
a couple of times before vanishing again.
Do you know where she is now?
We think she's with Adam.
It's obvious they're working together.
Has he really not made contact at all?
Yeah, I spoke to him.
He told me that he didn't trust me
and that his kids weren't safe.
That's what he said?
His kids
Maddy, he has lied to you
throughout your entire marriage.
He will drag you down with him.
You can cut loose from him now.
This is your chance.
I can't do that.
Because I love my kids.
- I just need to understand
- There's nothing more to understand.
He's a traitor.
And we're gonna find them both
and bring them in.
Stay here. I'm your best shot
at getting the kids back.
In the last few hours,
social media has been having a field day
with allegations
that the foreign secretary, Audrey Gratz,
used a government plane
to fly a doctor into the country
to assist with her mother's death.
This is a developing story.
We'll bring you what we can.
Let's go down to Westminster.
Our correspondent
Gratz has informed
Tonight's leadership debate
Ow
Olamide?
Good to see you, sir.
You can bring
the briefcase through.
It's all there, sir.
Martin, you've just got out of hospital.
I won't be long.
There's a situation I need to deal with.
Well, can't Adam take care of it?
Adam's compromised, Mary.
He's the situation.
I thought he was on our side.
Yes. Well, he's lied to all of us.
He's taken the children out of town.
The car was last seen at the services
on the A24 heading south. Nothing since.
Where's he headed?
Do they have a weekend place?
What's your best guess?
You know him better than most, Mary.
Will you give us a moment,
please, Olamide?
Ahem
He's dragged the children into this, Mary.
I just want to protect them, all right?
We owe that much to Sián.
Don't give me that.
You haven't seen them for years.
If I tell you
I want you to promise me
the children won't be hurt.
What do you think I am?
I know you, Martin.
- I know you.
- The children aren't a threat to me.
Sián's parents had a place
near Hopewood in Surrey.
She and Adam used it on weekends.
I'll find the address.
And the files are secure?
Yes. All in hand, sir.
I'm issuing a section 7 on Anton Melnikov
and Adam Lawrence.
- Sir, we couldn't
- He's made his choice.
Adam Lawrence now constitutes
a threat to the nation.
- Do we have a man in place?
- Only to feed back.
Yeah, but he's one of ours.
Yeah, so send him to the house in Surrey.
Do it tonight. We lay the blame on Yusova.
- This is Adam. Please leave a message.
- Fuck!
We have a hit.
A license plate match
at the Rockham service station
on the A24 southbound, Surrey.
They stopped for food and gas.
Where are you going?
- We're not getting anywhere.
- We found his car.
But you don't know where it's going,
and you don't have my children.
Keep eyes on her, please.
Cards, phone, vehicle.
When's Mum coming?
I don't know, love. She has to work.
What about Frank? Is he coming?
Frank doesn't look after us anymore.
And he's not your friend anyway.
He never was.
Did you and Maddy have a fight?
Yeah, sort of.
Was it about Kara?
Yeah.
But it's not what you think.
Kara and I are working together.
There's a very serious situation,
and we are trying to fix it.
Is it something to do
with the families she looks after?
She told you about them?
Here, come here.
I really don't want you to worry, okay?
Maddy and I
will always protect you and Callum.
Always.
All right?
Come here. I love you.
What's a mercy killing?
A what?
- Who is it?
- Don't know.
You and your brother stay here.
Hey, Callum, wait! Wait!
Callum, wait! Callum!
Mum!
Oh!
I've got pajamas, I've got toothbrushes.
- And look who you forgot.
- Samson!
Yes.
- Dad said you weren't coming.
- Right. Well, I'm here now.
It's all right, sweetheart.
Would you take Callum inside? Thanks.
- Come on, Cal.
- We'll be right in.
- Okay. I love you.
- Yes. Love you.
We need to talk.
What were you doing there last night
with Dede?
I was trying to prove
that you were innocent.
She told me that you were compromised.
She gave me a chance to prove her wrong,
or she'd take everything she had
to the foreign secretary,
and your career would just be over.
How long have you been watching me?
Um
Since the day after Angelis was poisoned.
- Do the CIA know where I am?
- No, no. I didn't tell them.
I ditched my phone and came by cab.
- And that's the truth?
- That's the truth.
So, what are you doing here?
I need to understand what the fuck
you're doing with this woman.
I deserve to know, Adam.
I've just agreed terms
for the entire UK holding company.
I don't care if we could get more for it.
I need a quick, discreet sale.
Ah, you're my lawyer, Gretchen.
Make it happen.
Three more days.
I leave for Moscow
right after the leadership election.
Don't worry. I'm confident
of a very warm reception.
Yeah. Cheers. Bye.
Hey.
Pasha, wake up. Let's go.
Oh, I'm excited! Gonna be so
Did you know they had Ella?
- Are you really asking me that question?
- Yeah.
- Who the fuck do you think I am?
- Okay.
- Of course I didn't.
- Dad?
Yeah?
There aren't any proper channels.
Yeah, all right.
Mads, I can't do this now.
Not in front of the kids. It's not fair.
- Let's get them ready for bed, and then
- And then what?
I will tell you whatever you wanna know.
Everything.
This is Adam. Please leave a message.
Adam, it's Paddy. So the old man's back,
and I hear they threw you out.
What the fuck is going on?
Look, I don't know
what it is you're involved with, but, um
well, they just found Melnikov's body
in a car park an hour ago.
He was stabbed.
It was a professional job.
For Christ's sake, just call me.
I'm worried about you, okay?
rare, if it's soft
It goes against every fiber of my being
to take something as personal and tragic
as the loss of a loved one
and make it part of our discourse
here tonight, but
- and simple dish
- Uh, no, Callum.
- Put that back on.
- been slaving for hours
I'm fueled by other feelings too.
Feelings of anger.
And disbelief at the flagrant hypocrisy
and criminality on display here.
I think it's untenable
for the foreign secretary
either to remain in post
or run for the highest office
in the country.
If you can't keep the rules,
you don't get to make them.
If I can answer that?
I understand the anger that people feel,
and I will, of course,
cooperate with any police inquiry.
But for absolute clarity,
I would like to state for the record
that my mother died
a natural, unassisted death.
- Because the doctor you flew
- She can't come back from this.
arrived minutes too late.
- Cal, go to bed, baby.
- But would you have gone through with it
- It's so early.
- I know, but it's been a long day.
- Let's go.
- Fine.
- You too, Ella.
- that position
- It's not even nine o'clock.
- Just go and help your brother.
- He doesn't know his way around the house.
- You mean get out of the way?
- Yeah.
- For Christ's sake!
Ella, can you do what your mum says?
Go to bed.
You treat me like a child
when it suits you.
But when you need my help,
I'm suddenly a grown-up.
What the hell
are you talking about?
At Auntie Mary's this morning,
when you needed me to cover for Kara.
enquiry, so it is not
possibe to discuss the details
- What the fuck?
- Which is why I will be speaking
to the prime minister later this evening
to resign as foreign secretary,
to allow me to concentrate
on the leadership contest
and communicate my vision
for the future of this country.
What did you do?
A future where everyone's dignity
is treated with respect
- I will run for PM
- Jesus. Did you know about this?
- I can still serve the British
- Of course not.
Well, she's fucked now.
I am not backing down
Christ. Robert Kirby as prime minister.
I mean
- We need to be
- Someone's been pulling strings.
difficult topics
such as assisted suicide.
So, I'm going to fight.
I handed over a file of kompromat
on Audrey Gratz.
The intel about her mother.
Oh my God. That's what I saw you give Kara
at Borough Market.
Mads, listen to me.
I didn't have a choice, all right?
I did what I had to do
to get our little girl back.
You have destroyed this woman's career.
You've made a liar out of me.
- You have put this whole family at risk.
- I gave Kara the file to get Ella back.
I didn't know about the rest of it.
I didn't know what the CIA suspected.
I didn't know all the things Kara's done
to get me into a position to help her
But you betrayed your country!
For her! For Kara!
Why? Why would you do that?
Who is she? Who is she to you?
I met her in Baku, all right?
She was my first proper assignment.
- She had been an agent for a few years.
- But you told me about Baku.
About the embassy
and the thousands of lives you saved!
- You never once mentioned Kara. Why not?
- Because there was nothing to tell!
I I haven't heard from her
or seen her in 15 fucking years!
Were you in love with her?
- My God. Are you still in love with her?
- No.
Maddy, no.
Did you ever love me?
Or did you just need a a mother
for your children after Sián died?
Mads, I love you and the kids
more than anything in this world.
All I've ever done
is what I've had to to keep us safe.
Well, how safe are we now?
Listen to me.
Five of Kara's agents were killed.
I promised to help
get their families out of Baku.
I gave them my word
that the British would protect them.
Seemed like a fair trade
considering she warned us about the siege.
- Sleeping with the enemy has its perks.
- But when it came to it, I left her there.
I told myself I didn't have a choice.
We were under attack. What was I to do?
But deep down, I knew the real reason.
I was frightened
our relationship would be discovered,
that I wouldn't be able to take credit
for the intel about the siege.
I'm so ashamed.
This was never about love.
It was always about guilt.
I promise you,
you never needed to worry. I'm sorry.
I know that you did, and I
I should've told you the truth sooner.
But what are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
You gave official intelligence
to a former Russian spy.
- No. Not official intel.
- What do you mean?
Angelis holds an unofficial stash of files
he uses to control people.
That's why we were at the house earlier.
- We didn't find anything. It's been moved.
- So he knows?
Can we fix this?
We have to.
- Shh. It's okay.
- Hey!
- Whoa, whoa!
- Callum!
- Get away from him! Come here.
- Ella! Come here!
- What the fuck are you doing here?
- Angelis ordered a hit on you.
They're coming here.
- Why should we believe a word you say?
- Dad!
It's all right, sweetheart.
- They're sending a lone shooter.
- How do you know that?
Because Angelis is trying to set me up.
He already got to Melnikov.
Okay. All right. We have to go.
- Fuck. Get down on the floor.
- Come on, get down.
It's too late.
Kids, come here. Heads down.
Heads right down, okay?
Right down. It's all right.
It's gonna be all right. Come here.
It's okay. It's all right.
It's okay.
All right
All right, I'm, uh
I'm gonna go out there.
No. You have to stay here.
I need you to stay alive.
If you die, Angelis wins.
Okay.
We need to
We need to create a distraction.
- Keep him away from the house.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna come with you.
- No, Mads!
- Mum!
- I'm okay.
- No, you can't!
- Heads down!
You're gonna stay with your Dad.
He's gonna protect you.
Maddy, listen to me.
I don't want you going out there, okay?
Adam, they're here for you.
They're not here for me.
Fuck. It should be me.
- Okay. Ready?
- Okay.
Let's go.
- Guys, you've got this.
- Be careful.
- Be careful.
- Yeah.
Heads down. Heads down!
All right. It's okay.
It's gonna be all right.
You know how to use this?
- Yeah.
- Take it.
Stay close and follow me. Come on.
I'll head for the car.
Try and draw him out into the open.
You go in behind and take the shot.
Did you hear what I said?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
How long since you fired a weapon?
Seven years.
Were you any good?
- Yeah, I was good.
- That's good.
So, uh, Maddy DaCosta.
Is that Portuguese or
Spanish.
Don't freeze up.
Okay.
Let's go.
Ella, Ella, absolutely not.
You can't do that, okay?
Keep your head right down.
Okay, tell you what I'm gonna do,
all right?
I'm just gonna go and check on Mum
real quick. Don't worry.
- Dad, you can't go.
- Guys, it's all right.
I'm not gonna be long.
I'm gonna be right back.
I promise you, all right?
Twenty seconds. Time me.
Callum, come here.
I can't hear you guys. Come on. One
One, two, three
Four, five
six
seven
eight
nine
Floor it! Floor it!
Drop the gun!
No, no, no, no, no!
Dad!
- It's okay. It's okay. Sh! It's okay.
- Dad!
It's Kara's gun. It's okay.
All right. Listen. We need to move.
Oh God.
It's too late. You can't help him.
He came here to kill your husband.
Remember?
I know. I know.
Let's go.
- You okay?
- It's not my blood.
I'm fine.
Guys, we have to go. Come on.
Mum.
Is there anyone else here?
You remember Ella and Callum?
And this is Maddy.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Kara Yusova. Kara, meet Kit Harper.
He's a lawyer. He can help us.
I can what?
Adam, what the hell is going on here?
Angelis sent a gunman
to kill me last night.
My family isn't safe.
I don't know where else to go.
- The police, Adam. Go to the police.
- I can't trust anyone.
- What makes you think I'm any different?
- You were Sián's best friend.
That has to mean something.
If you want, the kids can rest in my room.
Thank you.
Just while we talk.
I'm not making any promises.
Come on, buddy. You've been up all night.
- Where will you be?
- I'll be here. Don't worry.
- No one knows we're here. We're safe now.
- Okay.
Safe
There's a bathroom through there
if you want to clean up.
Yeah.
I'll put the kettle on.
- Dad?
- Yeah.
Are we the good guys?
Of course.
Get some rest.
Drop the gun! No, no, no, no, no!
I killed him.
You shouldn't have had to do that.
It should've been me.
I'm sorry.
I've never killed anybody before.
I mean, I have, I have, but in the army,
it felt like I was on the right side.
You still are.
Dad?
Where's Samson?
- Tell me.
- Barnes is dead.
The house is empty.
Adam Lawrence is gone.
- Where?
- No idea. His vehicle's still here.
It's got to be Yusova, sir.
They must be working together.
He can't move fast, not with the kids.
Clean up and get back here.
Yeah?
Dede Alexander? Martin Angelis.
We haven't met.
No, sir.
I think I'd remember that.
Well, perhaps it's time.
- Maddy.
- Thank you.
Adam.
Thanks, mate.
What's she doing here?
She saved all of our lives.
Angelis's files contain evidence
of a Russian plot to run Kirby.
There's an MI6 double agent
at the heart of it. Code name, Dorian.
Angelis thinks it's me.
Thinks I'm in league
with Kara and Melnikov.
That's why he had him killed.
It's why he sent Barnes
to take me out at the lodge last night.
Angelis is willing to let Kirby win.
Then he'll expose the plot and use it
to strengthen his position at MI6.
Unless we force it out
into the open first.
And then Angelis is finished, as is Kirby,
and Gratz can still be PM.
I have to fix this.
How?
Do a deal with Gratz.
Offer her the intel on Kirby
in exchange for immunity.
I'll pretend I didn't hear that,
but I can't say
I've got any better advice for you.
And what do you get out of it?
I wanna know who killed my men.
And then you just disappear?
His files are the only way out of it
for all of us.
He's not just gonna give them to you.
It sounds like
you can't trust anyone at MI6.
- I can go after the files.
- We can go after them.
Which means
you'll have to make a deal with Gratz.
We need to get new phones.
Angelis will be trying to trace us,
and he won't miss a second time.
We're a threat to everything he's built.
You and a team of special ops
entered the country six days ago.
Right after I'd been attacked. Why?
For the same reason we warned you
about Adam Lawrence five years ago.
He's compromised.
A threat to Western security.
I should have listened to you.
Adam Lawrence and Kara Yusova
killed one of my officers last night.
I need them put down.
And why not use your own people?
As you said,
he's a threat to both our nations.
There's a transcript of a call
that proves Adam Lawrence
has been a double agent since Baku.
He's trying to get his hands on it.
I am offering you a full green light.
I can plug you into our system,
and I would like you to find Lawrence
and Yusova and eliminate them.
I could get into a lot of trouble.
I'll make sure
the authorities look the other way.
Deal with this for me,
and the proof against him is all yours.
You go back to Langley a hero.
Mission accomplished.
All right.
I'll take care of it.
