The Capture (2019) s01e05 Episode Script
A Pilgrim of Justice
1 My client has been court-martialled, convicted and incarcerated for six months based on erroneous evidence.
- Do you believe me? - Yes.
I believe you.
You're new to homicide, aren't you? I've been in SO15 for the last four years.
Yeah, that explains the heavy-handedness.
Excuse me? My barrister, my friend, is dead.
The police think I done it, my ex thinks I done it.
And between you and me there's moments when I'm scared that I done it.
I saw you taken to a house in Eaton Square.
Only, no-one else saw it.
If they don't believe you they ain't going to believe me.
Gastor Square.
That's where they took me.
What's the status, Eli? Toy Soldier is contained, Sir.
They call it correction, when they take something they don't like and they change it.
If you wanted to pass fake footage off as real, you'd want someone naive to find it.
I was used to find something planted for me.
I can only conclude that your intention was to pervert the course of justice.
And I am left with no alternative but to suspend you from duty with immediate effect.
He was in Hannah's flat! I've been going through CCTV on the previous bus that night.
She's there.
Hannah Roberts.
How far did you even look into the victim, Detective? When did you ever hear of a human rights lawyer defending a British soldier? Shaun.
I imagine you'd like to know what is going on? Where to, love? Shit! Oh, you stupid dickhead! Shit! What the hell? What the fuck? What are you doing here? I live here.
What's happened? I thought everyone was away! Mum and Dad are away.
You think I'm going with them on a cruise? Why aren't you at uni? I graduated! Oh.
Why are you crying? I'm not.
I just needed somewhere to stay.
What's going on? You can talk to me.
I'm a good listener, Rachel.
Seriously? Since when did they put her pride of place? That's always been there.
No, it hasn't! I think it's nice, that they remember her.
It's disgusting, that they have the nerve.
What do you want us to do, act like she didn't exist? That's what they did when she was alive.
(PHONE BUZZES) Do you realise how thrilled they'd be if they knew you were here? Do you know how proud they are of you? Your job? We all are.
Dad would do literally anything for you.
My mum would too.
I just wish you'd let us all in a little bit more.
Rachel? Where do they keep the car keys? Why don't we sit down? I'm good standing.
I want to show you something.
I've seen it.
Not like this.
Hannah? Shaun? You got the sound? Would it be you? If I sued the MOD, would it be you representing me, or would it be some specialist lawsuit barrister? Only because, I don't want you to represent me any more.
Not 'cos you're not the best, because you are.
It's just, you know, if you were to represent me again, then I wouldn't be able to ask you out.
Look, I know your mates don't hang about in estate pubs in Croydon making jokes about Muslims and sex offenders.
This is where I'm from but I've done my best to get away from it.
It's probably why I joined up in the first place.
Just Your grandad's right about you.
You're not bad.
Not at all.
- Get on this.
- I'll give you a lift.
You got a boyfriend? I'll call you.
Sorry.
That's what happened.
That's what happened.
We can upload this.
The real one.
It proves I didn't do it! What? What? She said the CIA or whatever.
- Correction.
- Yeah.
They stitched me up.
But t-t-this now everyone can see for themselves.
The intelligence community has hurt a lot of people People close to us.
But not you.
So who did this, then? We can help you, Shaun, but you have to listen.
What's going on? You need to take a seat.
What did you do, Charlie? Hannah! Shaun.
OK, now come to me.
Talking, talking.
In your own time.
You'll have to improvise on the night - but it doesn't hurt to practise.
- OK.
Make yourself familiar with the space.
Just remember, all that really matters is that you End up level with the third column from the bus stop.
- And? - And At an angle where the camera can see both our faces.
Precisely, ready for another take? Let's do it.
How's it looking, people? Traffic check.
Ellison Road, all clear.
Eastern Lane, clear.
Talbot Junction, clear.
Status with the feed? How's it looking, Naz? Live feed is blocked.
Decoy feed in play.
We have control.
Feed check complete, good to go.
Still clear.
Remember, once I've grabbed you, it needs to look like I'm the one doing the dragging, but you're the one actually leading that movement.
OK, I just want it to look real.
I don't mind if it hurts.
In your own time, guys.
We'll place the bus wipe after, so just start whenever.
Do you prefer a cue? Yes, actually that would help.
Can we get a cue? She'll be demanding her own trailer next! Standing by, everybody.
Counting down the bus wipe.
In three two one.
Action! What are you smiling at? It's happening, Faisal.
For real? We've shot the scene.
So Who is it? A volunteer? The less you know.
Even if it works how do we prove it's what happened to me? Faisal, if this works We're going to wake up to a whole new world.
(APPLAUSE) Can we not? I came here to view because you said it was ready.
You don't think it's ready, Eli? We tracked the bus wipe on every single take, we added light fill from the bus onto Shaun and Hannah.
Take it back.
Stop.
Tell me that face-mapping is temp.
- Looks OK to me.
- Technically, it's passable.
But look at his expression.
His body is kidnapping a woman, his face is waiting in line at the co-op.
Eli's right, it would be better if Shaun looked angry.
People tend not to post angry pictures of themselves on social media.
What about the rest of his archive? There has to be something.
That lad is angry all the time! Yeah, but not on the news, not on the pre-trial interviews you shot, the FaceTime calls we hacked.
Can't the computer generate an angry face? The more archive-based the deep fake, the better it looks.
I think it works.
You think it works? Currently? Those dead, expressionless eyes, they don't bother you? He's in a trance.
A traumatised soldier.
Denied something he thought he'd won.
Unable to accept rejection.
Snaps.
Shaun's got no record of PTSD.
But everyone assumes he has.
A soldier who murdered on the battlefield.
The police will leap on it, so will the press.
I know people with PTSD.
They don't have memory blackouts.
We're not talking about reality.
We're talking about what we can make people believe.
You sound like them.
We've got to think like them.
You can bet they did this with your brother's trial, doctored the evidence so carefully the only person who could deny it was himself.
We sure did.
Shaun abducts me during an episode, and blocks it out due to trauma.
It fits a narrative.
Well, how about your position? Are you going to hit your mark? If she's not in position, it's game over.
- I know.
- What about his car? What about if he parks it across the street? We've filmed 25 versions! Car, no car, car enters from the south, from the north.
Jacket on, jacket off.
Come on.
Would you like to look at the alt-takes? Yeah, actually.
Not long now.
Are you OK? I still don't get why he's helping us.
I can't see the whistle-blower in him.
Eli's taking a huge risk.
He can be a pain in the arse all right, but Hey, Charlie? Do you know for a fact that he'll be wearing all this? Yes, Eli, he'll be wearing it.
He's told us 100 times, he wants to go to court in military dress.
This uniform, exactly? We've got it covered, Eli! Does an angel Contemplate my fate And do they know Mike and Marcia Brady in the house.
There are two people in this room that believed in me when not everyone did.
That's this man here, my solicitor, Charlie Hall.
Might as well preload a take.
No car, jacket on? Yeah.
If I could choose anyone to take into battle with me, it would be my barrister, Hannah Roberts.
Thank you.
That's a good one.
The face mapping's faultless.
And his performance too.
She looks really distressed.
And through it all, she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I'm right Everybody's looking at me, like I done it.
You thought he was reaching for a weapon.
But do you believe me, Hannah? Yes.
Yes, I believe you.
Bus arrival options in 10 and 27 minutes.
- Any sign of movement? - Negative.
I'm sure they're waiting for the right moment.
Shauny! You all right, mate? I've always said, if I had to do a bloke, it would be Shaun.
- It would be me.
- And you saved him! Now we know who to call next time you kill a Muslim! And I know I'll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows, she brings flesh to my bones Marcia Brady is mobile! Bus arrival in seven minutes.
Outstanding.
Let's just pray he bites.
You've seen the way he looks at her.
And through it all, she offers me Seen Hannah? I thought she was with you.
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong Feed delay, active.
Wherever it may take me I know that life Target is in the car.
Repeat, Target is driving the Rover.
- Bollocks! - Loading car options.
Her performance won't be as good.
Never mind, just let it go.
I'm loving angels instead Car's good.
He's parked out of range.
All right! Headlights off.
Jacket on, loading take! Hannah! Hannah! Shaun? Would it be you? If I sued the MOD, would it be you representing me? Well, has he found her? Moth to a flame.
I don't want you to represent me any more.
Is she in position? No, not quite.
Bus arrival in 90 seconds.
You know, if you were to represent me again, then I wouldn't be able to ask you out.
Go on, Hannah.
One step forward.
I know that me and you are different, Hannah.
What? Blow this up.
- Shit! - What is it? - His collar's up.
- Bus arrival in 40 seconds.
- Is that a problem? - Is that a problem? If you don't have a turned-up collar option, I'd say that was a problem, yes.
- What do we do? - Abort? - Has Hannah seen it? - I don't think so.
This is why I asked for comms.
He's a soldier.
If she wore an earpiece, he'd see it.
Bus arrival in 25 seconds.
Come on, Hannah, think.
Your mates don't hang about estate pubs in Croydon, making jokes about Muslims and sex offenders but, really, I ain't like that either.
This is where I'm from but I've done my best to get away from it.
Bus approaching, 12 seconds.
That's it.
It's probably why I joined up in the first place.
Aside from the estate pubs in Croydon, we're really not that different.
Genius! Get in, Hannah! Nicely done.
Sorry.
You got to feel a bit sorry for the guy.
Feel sorry for the unarmed man he shot.
Tell Hannah she's a star! Sutton South to control! Go ahead.
Assault in progress, Ramilies Road, Bus Stop Z.
Received.
Charlie just called.
They've arrested Shaun Emery! Why me? In a word? Publicity.
I'd have volunteered.
Any of us would.
We needed someone in the public eye.
And when you came along, talk about national interest.
We knew you'd make headlines.
I know you'll want to kill me, Shaun.
Kill you? You don't know a thing about me, Charlie.
You never did, neither did Hannah.
Both just see a squaddie.
I guess that's why you defended me in the first place? Not to help me.
But we did help.
Nobody else came up with that idea, the video flaw.
What are you saying? I'm saying if it wasn't for Hannah and myself, you'd still be serving time.
Hannah's abduction was never going to stick to you, Shaun.
We weren't consigning you to prison for long.
The case would have been thrown out of court as soon as As soon as Hannah showed up.
Hannah was supposed to stay hidden until the trial, then reappear, publicly, proving you'd been convicted on false evidence.
Exposing the process of correction.
So, what went wrong? We planned for almost every possibility.
We didn't count on the spooks getting hold of the footage before you made the news.
How were we to know the lead detective would turn out to be from Counter fucking Terrorism? Whose motor's this? Stepmum's.
You all right? Yeah, you? He's here.
I'm here if you need me, ma'am.
You brought protection? Can you blame me for being cautious? Did your wife say anything? Did you drag me down here to talk about my wife? You were right.
I didn't look hard enough into Hannah Roberts.
I admit it.
I know she caught the bus that night, just as Emery claimed.
Shaun didn't abduct Hannah and he didn't murder her either.
This isn't how I imagined it.
- Where's your phone? - In the car.
Imagined what? - Your introduction.
- I'm not recording you.
Can you blame me for being cautious? Introduction to what? Correction.
It's a beautiful thing.
You have to understand, Rachel.
This is global.
Even if we wanted to, there's nothing any of us could do to stop it.
Not me, not you and not Hannah fucking Roberts.
What is it about her? She defended terrorists, someone has to.
If she'd had it her way, half of them would be out on the streets.
So what? We go after suspects, not their lawyers.
Hannah Roberts was coming after us.
I knew it as soon as I first saw that fucking video.
When did you first see it? When did you first see the video? You should know.
You're the one who sent it to us.
- Traitor! - It's called being promoted.
I suppose you're out celebrating your success.
So are you lot going to run a facial-rec for me - or shall I call Ops Room Two? - Ouch! - That's uncalled for.
- Send us the capture.
- We have a contender.
- Great.
Let me see.
Sending.
Received.
You're welcome! (PHONE VIBRATES) - Yeah? - Sorry to disturb, sir.
Some footage just came to my attention, I thought you should be aware of.
It could be legit, but you get a feel for these things.
Camera location, no other CCTV.
It presents as a kidnap, but the victim is Hannah Roberts.
- It's the barrister that represented - Faisal Dahmani.
Send me the capture.
(DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE) Secure phone.
Charger.
Police scanner.
Night-vision monitors with their own power supply.
Front door.
Front drive.
Perimeter road.
That's way on the corner where the farm begins, and Cujo hears the cars coming way before that.
Living room.
Kitchen.
Us.
It's just up there.
(SHE CHUCKLES) (SHE CLEARS HER THROAT) Oh, and breakfast.
My brother's not going to know how to thank you.
My family none of us will.
Thank me when it works.
So, this breaks down into three possibilities.
One, the event happened to be real.
- Two - It's a stunt.
Thank you, Frank.
Given Hannah Roberts' potential awareness of certain methodologies, this could be some kind of activist stunt in which Shaun Emery is potentially complicit.
Or? Scenario three, Roberts is actually using correction.
The most problematic scenario.
Can't we tell it's corrected? We're still running tests.
There's one way to find out.
Redact the footage.
If the SIO can't find evidence to corroborate, then we know it's fake.
That rather depends on the SIO being worth their salt.
They are.
I happen to know them, it's a former colleague.
If there's evidence to be found, she'll find it.
Well let's hope it's option one.
If this is correction, the quality suggests Hannah Roberts had help from a foreign entity or worse from someone inside the programme.
Each one of my staff that wasn't drafted from yours is a serving or former member of Langley or the NSA.
Just like Edward Snowden.
I strongly suggest you cancel any plans you might have for the foreseeable future.
We need round-the-clock monitoring on a new target.
Name, Shaun Emery.
Yes, the soldier.
- Eli.
- Sir.
I had two additional senior ops analyse the footage.
They found no tells, no signs of correction.
When was the last time you ran a security check on this unit? The operatives? 11 days ago.
Beginning of the month.
They're all clean.
Run another one.
Sure.
Sir, the target is showing as being held in police custody.
Not for long.
(DOG BARKS) (DOG BARKS) They've released Shaun Emery, without charge.
I've had my station chief breathing down my neck all night.
I've finished work an hour ago, I am due back after lunch.
Why did they release Emery? My guess? You can't debunk a story that was never told.
What does that mean? If Emery isn't charged Then the footage doesn't make the news.
There's nothing for us to disprove.
Maybe we need to conjure up some more evidence.
Persuade the police there's enough there - to get Shaun re-arrested.
- What kind of evidence? If somebody found something belonging to you, washed up in the blind spot by the river clothing, jewellery.
Planting physical evidence? That undermines the whole point! Shaun has to be convicted on the basis of corrected video alone.
I don't know, Hannah.
If it gets the case reopened The video's still key.
Just, this way, it's supported.
I can live with it.
Hannah? (SHE SIGHS) There's a necklace in my jewellery box in the bedroom.
It has my name engraved on the back.
What's going on? Looks like Toy Soldier and Heavy Snow are on a stakeout.
And nobody thought to loop me in? Toy Soldier on the move.
(PHONE VIBRATES) (DRILLING) What's the latest on Toy Soldier? Believe he's currently inside Hannah Roberts' apartment building.
Why the hell didn't you tell me this? I was just about to, sir.
Enough tracking.
Next opportunity you get, you bring him in.
Securely.
Copy that, sir.
At least tell me you got the necklace.
I'm sorry, Hannah.
- So what happens now? - Where's Eli in all of this? - Where's Hannah Roberts? - I was in her flat.
I would've got somewhere if one of your guys hadn't turned up.
Hell are you talking about? The fucking guy I was following! Now, listen, you've gotta believe me.
I'm being set up, the fucking video was a fake, it was fake! (HE GRUNTS) You see that? I thought it was some of our finest work.
I'm talking about Emery.
What do you make of that story? Do you think he was following somebody? Sir? Hey! It's online.
It's on YouTube.
Who leaked it? I don't know, but it's on BuzzFeed.
- This was not the fucking plan! - I thought we wanted it on the news.
As evidence, not some random upload.
Alongside deep fakes and conspiracy nuts, it has no validity.
I don't know.
The Guardian have gone for it.
BBC Online.
Mail Online.
Shit! It's everywhere.
The police can't ignore it.
They'll have to re-arrest him now, no? People are believing it.
Like you said they would.
(PHONE VIBRATES) I was just thinking about you.
Give me an hour.
Eli.
Sir.
- That security check? - Yeah.
I ran it right after you asked.
Everybody came back clean.
Even you? Yeah, save the usual.
Bestial porn.
(THEY LAUGH) Permission to go take a piss now, sir? So long as that's all you take.
This takes me back.
Always liked it here.
One of the last to install cameras.
Still only has the three.
Nothing, for a London cemetery.
You'd think we could trust the dead to go unwatched.
Should I have brought flowers? Or is that premature? (HE EXHALES SHARPLY) The soldier is not complicit.
I thought he was, now I don't.
He doesn't have a clue where Roberts is.
(HE SIGHS) It's correction.
And there's only one option.
Which is? We are done trying to make this story disappear.
It's time to make it true.
I don't like the idea of leaving you here.
Well, I'd better get used to it.
It might be weeks before the big reveal, if it goes to trial.
It will.
It's working.
We need to find another way.
Well I guess I could just take her to the woods - just let her go.
- Frank.
She's a British citizen on British soil.
- Frank.
- Of course, of course, of course.
You're right.
Besides, I wouldn't know where to look for her, even if I wanted to.
Listen! You're making a mistake.
Let me talk to Frank.
Let me talk to Frank! Guys (HE STAMMERS) - there's nothing I can tell you.
- You're going to tell us something.
You've got it wrong (WATER RUNS) RADIO: low, Bailey, 1003, slow-moving.
Filling 1006 by midnight tonight.
New lows expected south-east Biscay, 993, and Fastnet 997 by same time.
The area forecasts for the next 24 hours.
Viking, North Utsire, variable north-westerly 3 or 4.
Sea state moderate.
Occasional showers, visibility mainly good.
South Utsire, north-westerly 4 or 5 (DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE) Cujo? (SHE GASPS) (SHE EXHALES) Anybody else in the house? Mm.
(HE EXHALES) Eli says hello.
I don't know what you did to offend him, but he sure gave you up in a heartbeat.
He's a little less forthcoming about your friends, though.
So I thought maybe you could shed some light.
Don't be blinded by delusions of loyalty.
They left you here, with only the protection of Rin Tin Tin.
Go, team.
I want you to tell me who you're working with.
(HE SIGHS) (HE CLEARS HIS THROAT) You're Dahmani's lawyer, right? Faisal Dahmani? Let me ask you a question.
Did you actually buy into his bullshit? Did he give you the big baby browns? Or did you know he was guilty? Prove it.
Come again? Prove my client was guilty in a court of law without falsifying evidence.
- Prove it! - I saw the intel.
- The wiretaps, the intercepts.
- Inadmissible.
In this country, maybe.
If you don't like it, you can - always fuck off home.
- Charming.
Sorry for keeping you safe.
My client is wrongly imprisoned.
- Who's keeping him safe? - Your client's a fucking terrorist.
It doesn't matter! Everybody has the right to a fair trial.
I'm not just doing this to save Faisal.
I'm not even doing it to save every other victim you've fucked over by correction.
I'm doing it to save our system of justice.
Innocent until proven guilty.
And I'm doing it to expose malignant bastards like you trying to undermine it.
Did you ever stop to think about the irony Hannah? Your beautiful system.
Your shining cornerstone.
It's anathema to the people you defend.
Your Islamist clients, they don't just want to kill you and me and a few thousand like us.
They want our way of life to end.
Faisal Dahmani he wants your beautiful system destroyed.
Prove it.
(HE SIGHS) (SHE GASPS) (SHE WHIMPERS) A woman's life.
Like I said, this wasn't how I wanted you to find out.
- I had a plan.
- And to think I played a part When the time was right, to tell you about the programme.
- makes me sick to my core.
- I'm not condoning what happened, but Hannah Roberts sealed her own fate.
And you'll see that.
- I can show you.
- Show me?! I don't want to be anywhere near you.
Rachel, I told you because I trust you.
- I believe in you.
- Don't touch me.
Rachel, you've got to be careful.
Rachel, don't do anything stu Rachel! What are you going to do?! (POUNDING MUSIC) I've known Hannah for seven years.
And I love her very much.
She didn't plan to risk her life, but was this a cause worth dying for? Yes, I believe she'd say it was.
Surely you can understand that.
Soldiers die in war.
This cause is like a war to us.
Suspects fitted up by the state.
Why don't they just deny it, then? A young Muslim gets caught supplying hydrogen peroxide, and his defence is to claim the video isn't real? A white nationalist with previous caught on camera buying firearms.
Who does the jury believe, Shaun, when the evidence is in front of them? Hannah's death needn't be in vain.
With her murder, those bastards took our stunt and they made it real.
Now they believe all they have to do is convict you and the question of false evidence goes away.
But we've still got the footage.
The real CCTV.
So fucking well get it out there, then! But it only works if you're charged, Shaun.
If we make it public now, all we've achieved is a story about fake news, and we want to show that correction has infected the courts.
You're expecting me to go through with this? My brother's still locked up.
So's my dad.
So's my son.
I was out, Charlie.
I was out.
I was about to see my kid.
And because of you, my ex thinks I'm a fucking murderer.
And you expect me to just go along with this? We hoped you would.
We didn't expect it, though.
The police are going to catch up with you sooner or later, Shaun.
And when they do, we're the only ones that can help you.
So all things considered, this is for the best.
Anonymous phone call.
Someone spotted you in the club, let the police arrest you and leave the rest to us.
It's not like you've left me much choice, is it, mate? When all this is over, you'll still be a hero, Shaun.
Just not in the way you thought.
Let me ask you something, and don't fucking lie.
Helmand.
The video was flawed, out of sync, like we said.
I'm not asking about the video.
The video doesn't prove my innocence.
What do you really think? What do you and Hannah really think? We gotta move.
(HE CLEARS HIS THROAT) (POUNDING MUSIC) (CROWD SCREAMS) (HE GROANS) (GUNSHOT) All units be advised.
Lights are down inside the venue.
Repeat, lights down inside the venue.
Understood.
All exits covered.
Please look straight forwards.
Keep moving.
Keep coming.
You all right, mate? Eyes on suspect.
South Emergency Exit, Wick Road.
Kilo 6 to all units.
Urgent assistance required.
Eyes on! Copy that, Kilo 6.
(SIREN BLARES) Kilo 1 to Kilo 6.
Repeat location.
Patrick? Sorry, ma'am.
(SIREN BLARES) (HE GROANS) (HE COUGHS) (CAR ENGINE STARTS) Please, don't run.
I couldn't arrest you if I wanted to.
They've taken me off the case.
Those people at Gastor Square.
They're the ones who killed Hannah.
I know.
You're innocent.
I can prove it.
I'm so tired of believing people.
Can't force you.
Where are you going? Somewhere safe.
He could try and force you, but he's scared you'll make his nose bleed again.
Is he coming? You coming? If you're lying, I'll break more than your fucking nose, yeah? All right, Chuck Norris.
Door's open.
The most heavily surveilled city in the entire Western world, and the prick just can't just be found? Who's helping him now, Putin? (HE SIGHS) Find out which school his daughter goes to.
- Do you believe me? - Yes.
I believe you.
You're new to homicide, aren't you? I've been in SO15 for the last four years.
Yeah, that explains the heavy-handedness.
Excuse me? My barrister, my friend, is dead.
The police think I done it, my ex thinks I done it.
And between you and me there's moments when I'm scared that I done it.
I saw you taken to a house in Eaton Square.
Only, no-one else saw it.
If they don't believe you they ain't going to believe me.
Gastor Square.
That's where they took me.
What's the status, Eli? Toy Soldier is contained, Sir.
They call it correction, when they take something they don't like and they change it.
If you wanted to pass fake footage off as real, you'd want someone naive to find it.
I was used to find something planted for me.
I can only conclude that your intention was to pervert the course of justice.
And I am left with no alternative but to suspend you from duty with immediate effect.
He was in Hannah's flat! I've been going through CCTV on the previous bus that night.
She's there.
Hannah Roberts.
How far did you even look into the victim, Detective? When did you ever hear of a human rights lawyer defending a British soldier? Shaun.
I imagine you'd like to know what is going on? Where to, love? Shit! Oh, you stupid dickhead! Shit! What the hell? What the fuck? What are you doing here? I live here.
What's happened? I thought everyone was away! Mum and Dad are away.
You think I'm going with them on a cruise? Why aren't you at uni? I graduated! Oh.
Why are you crying? I'm not.
I just needed somewhere to stay.
What's going on? You can talk to me.
I'm a good listener, Rachel.
Seriously? Since when did they put her pride of place? That's always been there.
No, it hasn't! I think it's nice, that they remember her.
It's disgusting, that they have the nerve.
What do you want us to do, act like she didn't exist? That's what they did when she was alive.
(PHONE BUZZES) Do you realise how thrilled they'd be if they knew you were here? Do you know how proud they are of you? Your job? We all are.
Dad would do literally anything for you.
My mum would too.
I just wish you'd let us all in a little bit more.
Rachel? Where do they keep the car keys? Why don't we sit down? I'm good standing.
I want to show you something.
I've seen it.
Not like this.
Hannah? Shaun? You got the sound? Would it be you? If I sued the MOD, would it be you representing me, or would it be some specialist lawsuit barrister? Only because, I don't want you to represent me any more.
Not 'cos you're not the best, because you are.
It's just, you know, if you were to represent me again, then I wouldn't be able to ask you out.
Look, I know your mates don't hang about in estate pubs in Croydon making jokes about Muslims and sex offenders.
This is where I'm from but I've done my best to get away from it.
It's probably why I joined up in the first place.
Just Your grandad's right about you.
You're not bad.
Not at all.
- Get on this.
- I'll give you a lift.
You got a boyfriend? I'll call you.
Sorry.
That's what happened.
That's what happened.
We can upload this.
The real one.
It proves I didn't do it! What? What? She said the CIA or whatever.
- Correction.
- Yeah.
They stitched me up.
But t-t-this now everyone can see for themselves.
The intelligence community has hurt a lot of people People close to us.
But not you.
So who did this, then? We can help you, Shaun, but you have to listen.
What's going on? You need to take a seat.
What did you do, Charlie? Hannah! Shaun.
OK, now come to me.
Talking, talking.
In your own time.
You'll have to improvise on the night - but it doesn't hurt to practise.
- OK.
Make yourself familiar with the space.
Just remember, all that really matters is that you End up level with the third column from the bus stop.
- And? - And At an angle where the camera can see both our faces.
Precisely, ready for another take? Let's do it.
How's it looking, people? Traffic check.
Ellison Road, all clear.
Eastern Lane, clear.
Talbot Junction, clear.
Status with the feed? How's it looking, Naz? Live feed is blocked.
Decoy feed in play.
We have control.
Feed check complete, good to go.
Still clear.
Remember, once I've grabbed you, it needs to look like I'm the one doing the dragging, but you're the one actually leading that movement.
OK, I just want it to look real.
I don't mind if it hurts.
In your own time, guys.
We'll place the bus wipe after, so just start whenever.
Do you prefer a cue? Yes, actually that would help.
Can we get a cue? She'll be demanding her own trailer next! Standing by, everybody.
Counting down the bus wipe.
In three two one.
Action! What are you smiling at? It's happening, Faisal.
For real? We've shot the scene.
So Who is it? A volunteer? The less you know.
Even if it works how do we prove it's what happened to me? Faisal, if this works We're going to wake up to a whole new world.
(APPLAUSE) Can we not? I came here to view because you said it was ready.
You don't think it's ready, Eli? We tracked the bus wipe on every single take, we added light fill from the bus onto Shaun and Hannah.
Take it back.
Stop.
Tell me that face-mapping is temp.
- Looks OK to me.
- Technically, it's passable.
But look at his expression.
His body is kidnapping a woman, his face is waiting in line at the co-op.
Eli's right, it would be better if Shaun looked angry.
People tend not to post angry pictures of themselves on social media.
What about the rest of his archive? There has to be something.
That lad is angry all the time! Yeah, but not on the news, not on the pre-trial interviews you shot, the FaceTime calls we hacked.
Can't the computer generate an angry face? The more archive-based the deep fake, the better it looks.
I think it works.
You think it works? Currently? Those dead, expressionless eyes, they don't bother you? He's in a trance.
A traumatised soldier.
Denied something he thought he'd won.
Unable to accept rejection.
Snaps.
Shaun's got no record of PTSD.
But everyone assumes he has.
A soldier who murdered on the battlefield.
The police will leap on it, so will the press.
I know people with PTSD.
They don't have memory blackouts.
We're not talking about reality.
We're talking about what we can make people believe.
You sound like them.
We've got to think like them.
You can bet they did this with your brother's trial, doctored the evidence so carefully the only person who could deny it was himself.
We sure did.
Shaun abducts me during an episode, and blocks it out due to trauma.
It fits a narrative.
Well, how about your position? Are you going to hit your mark? If she's not in position, it's game over.
- I know.
- What about his car? What about if he parks it across the street? We've filmed 25 versions! Car, no car, car enters from the south, from the north.
Jacket on, jacket off.
Come on.
Would you like to look at the alt-takes? Yeah, actually.
Not long now.
Are you OK? I still don't get why he's helping us.
I can't see the whistle-blower in him.
Eli's taking a huge risk.
He can be a pain in the arse all right, but Hey, Charlie? Do you know for a fact that he'll be wearing all this? Yes, Eli, he'll be wearing it.
He's told us 100 times, he wants to go to court in military dress.
This uniform, exactly? We've got it covered, Eli! Does an angel Contemplate my fate And do they know Mike and Marcia Brady in the house.
There are two people in this room that believed in me when not everyone did.
That's this man here, my solicitor, Charlie Hall.
Might as well preload a take.
No car, jacket on? Yeah.
If I could choose anyone to take into battle with me, it would be my barrister, Hannah Roberts.
Thank you.
That's a good one.
The face mapping's faultless.
And his performance too.
She looks really distressed.
And through it all, she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I'm right Everybody's looking at me, like I done it.
You thought he was reaching for a weapon.
But do you believe me, Hannah? Yes.
Yes, I believe you.
Bus arrival options in 10 and 27 minutes.
- Any sign of movement? - Negative.
I'm sure they're waiting for the right moment.
Shauny! You all right, mate? I've always said, if I had to do a bloke, it would be Shaun.
- It would be me.
- And you saved him! Now we know who to call next time you kill a Muslim! And I know I'll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows, she brings flesh to my bones Marcia Brady is mobile! Bus arrival in seven minutes.
Outstanding.
Let's just pray he bites.
You've seen the way he looks at her.
And through it all, she offers me Seen Hannah? I thought she was with you.
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong Feed delay, active.
Wherever it may take me I know that life Target is in the car.
Repeat, Target is driving the Rover.
- Bollocks! - Loading car options.
Her performance won't be as good.
Never mind, just let it go.
I'm loving angels instead Car's good.
He's parked out of range.
All right! Headlights off.
Jacket on, loading take! Hannah! Hannah! Shaun? Would it be you? If I sued the MOD, would it be you representing me? Well, has he found her? Moth to a flame.
I don't want you to represent me any more.
Is she in position? No, not quite.
Bus arrival in 90 seconds.
You know, if you were to represent me again, then I wouldn't be able to ask you out.
Go on, Hannah.
One step forward.
I know that me and you are different, Hannah.
What? Blow this up.
- Shit! - What is it? - His collar's up.
- Bus arrival in 40 seconds.
- Is that a problem? - Is that a problem? If you don't have a turned-up collar option, I'd say that was a problem, yes.
- What do we do? - Abort? - Has Hannah seen it? - I don't think so.
This is why I asked for comms.
He's a soldier.
If she wore an earpiece, he'd see it.
Bus arrival in 25 seconds.
Come on, Hannah, think.
Your mates don't hang about estate pubs in Croydon, making jokes about Muslims and sex offenders but, really, I ain't like that either.
This is where I'm from but I've done my best to get away from it.
Bus approaching, 12 seconds.
That's it.
It's probably why I joined up in the first place.
Aside from the estate pubs in Croydon, we're really not that different.
Genius! Get in, Hannah! Nicely done.
Sorry.
You got to feel a bit sorry for the guy.
Feel sorry for the unarmed man he shot.
Tell Hannah she's a star! Sutton South to control! Go ahead.
Assault in progress, Ramilies Road, Bus Stop Z.
Received.
Charlie just called.
They've arrested Shaun Emery! Why me? In a word? Publicity.
I'd have volunteered.
Any of us would.
We needed someone in the public eye.
And when you came along, talk about national interest.
We knew you'd make headlines.
I know you'll want to kill me, Shaun.
Kill you? You don't know a thing about me, Charlie.
You never did, neither did Hannah.
Both just see a squaddie.
I guess that's why you defended me in the first place? Not to help me.
But we did help.
Nobody else came up with that idea, the video flaw.
What are you saying? I'm saying if it wasn't for Hannah and myself, you'd still be serving time.
Hannah's abduction was never going to stick to you, Shaun.
We weren't consigning you to prison for long.
The case would have been thrown out of court as soon as As soon as Hannah showed up.
Hannah was supposed to stay hidden until the trial, then reappear, publicly, proving you'd been convicted on false evidence.
Exposing the process of correction.
So, what went wrong? We planned for almost every possibility.
We didn't count on the spooks getting hold of the footage before you made the news.
How were we to know the lead detective would turn out to be from Counter fucking Terrorism? Whose motor's this? Stepmum's.
You all right? Yeah, you? He's here.
I'm here if you need me, ma'am.
You brought protection? Can you blame me for being cautious? Did your wife say anything? Did you drag me down here to talk about my wife? You were right.
I didn't look hard enough into Hannah Roberts.
I admit it.
I know she caught the bus that night, just as Emery claimed.
Shaun didn't abduct Hannah and he didn't murder her either.
This isn't how I imagined it.
- Where's your phone? - In the car.
Imagined what? - Your introduction.
- I'm not recording you.
Can you blame me for being cautious? Introduction to what? Correction.
It's a beautiful thing.
You have to understand, Rachel.
This is global.
Even if we wanted to, there's nothing any of us could do to stop it.
Not me, not you and not Hannah fucking Roberts.
What is it about her? She defended terrorists, someone has to.
If she'd had it her way, half of them would be out on the streets.
So what? We go after suspects, not their lawyers.
Hannah Roberts was coming after us.
I knew it as soon as I first saw that fucking video.
When did you first see it? When did you first see the video? You should know.
You're the one who sent it to us.
- Traitor! - It's called being promoted.
I suppose you're out celebrating your success.
So are you lot going to run a facial-rec for me - or shall I call Ops Room Two? - Ouch! - That's uncalled for.
- Send us the capture.
- We have a contender.
- Great.
Let me see.
Sending.
Received.
You're welcome! (PHONE VIBRATES) - Yeah? - Sorry to disturb, sir.
Some footage just came to my attention, I thought you should be aware of.
It could be legit, but you get a feel for these things.
Camera location, no other CCTV.
It presents as a kidnap, but the victim is Hannah Roberts.
- It's the barrister that represented - Faisal Dahmani.
Send me the capture.
(DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE) Secure phone.
Charger.
Police scanner.
Night-vision monitors with their own power supply.
Front door.
Front drive.
Perimeter road.
That's way on the corner where the farm begins, and Cujo hears the cars coming way before that.
Living room.
Kitchen.
Us.
It's just up there.
(SHE CHUCKLES) (SHE CLEARS HER THROAT) Oh, and breakfast.
My brother's not going to know how to thank you.
My family none of us will.
Thank me when it works.
So, this breaks down into three possibilities.
One, the event happened to be real.
- Two - It's a stunt.
Thank you, Frank.
Given Hannah Roberts' potential awareness of certain methodologies, this could be some kind of activist stunt in which Shaun Emery is potentially complicit.
Or? Scenario three, Roberts is actually using correction.
The most problematic scenario.
Can't we tell it's corrected? We're still running tests.
There's one way to find out.
Redact the footage.
If the SIO can't find evidence to corroborate, then we know it's fake.
That rather depends on the SIO being worth their salt.
They are.
I happen to know them, it's a former colleague.
If there's evidence to be found, she'll find it.
Well let's hope it's option one.
If this is correction, the quality suggests Hannah Roberts had help from a foreign entity or worse from someone inside the programme.
Each one of my staff that wasn't drafted from yours is a serving or former member of Langley or the NSA.
Just like Edward Snowden.
I strongly suggest you cancel any plans you might have for the foreseeable future.
We need round-the-clock monitoring on a new target.
Name, Shaun Emery.
Yes, the soldier.
- Eli.
- Sir.
I had two additional senior ops analyse the footage.
They found no tells, no signs of correction.
When was the last time you ran a security check on this unit? The operatives? 11 days ago.
Beginning of the month.
They're all clean.
Run another one.
Sure.
Sir, the target is showing as being held in police custody.
Not for long.
(DOG BARKS) (DOG BARKS) They've released Shaun Emery, without charge.
I've had my station chief breathing down my neck all night.
I've finished work an hour ago, I am due back after lunch.
Why did they release Emery? My guess? You can't debunk a story that was never told.
What does that mean? If Emery isn't charged Then the footage doesn't make the news.
There's nothing for us to disprove.
Maybe we need to conjure up some more evidence.
Persuade the police there's enough there - to get Shaun re-arrested.
- What kind of evidence? If somebody found something belonging to you, washed up in the blind spot by the river clothing, jewellery.
Planting physical evidence? That undermines the whole point! Shaun has to be convicted on the basis of corrected video alone.
I don't know, Hannah.
If it gets the case reopened The video's still key.
Just, this way, it's supported.
I can live with it.
Hannah? (SHE SIGHS) There's a necklace in my jewellery box in the bedroom.
It has my name engraved on the back.
What's going on? Looks like Toy Soldier and Heavy Snow are on a stakeout.
And nobody thought to loop me in? Toy Soldier on the move.
(PHONE VIBRATES) (DRILLING) What's the latest on Toy Soldier? Believe he's currently inside Hannah Roberts' apartment building.
Why the hell didn't you tell me this? I was just about to, sir.
Enough tracking.
Next opportunity you get, you bring him in.
Securely.
Copy that, sir.
At least tell me you got the necklace.
I'm sorry, Hannah.
- So what happens now? - Where's Eli in all of this? - Where's Hannah Roberts? - I was in her flat.
I would've got somewhere if one of your guys hadn't turned up.
Hell are you talking about? The fucking guy I was following! Now, listen, you've gotta believe me.
I'm being set up, the fucking video was a fake, it was fake! (HE GRUNTS) You see that? I thought it was some of our finest work.
I'm talking about Emery.
What do you make of that story? Do you think he was following somebody? Sir? Hey! It's online.
It's on YouTube.
Who leaked it? I don't know, but it's on BuzzFeed.
- This was not the fucking plan! - I thought we wanted it on the news.
As evidence, not some random upload.
Alongside deep fakes and conspiracy nuts, it has no validity.
I don't know.
The Guardian have gone for it.
BBC Online.
Mail Online.
Shit! It's everywhere.
The police can't ignore it.
They'll have to re-arrest him now, no? People are believing it.
Like you said they would.
(PHONE VIBRATES) I was just thinking about you.
Give me an hour.
Eli.
Sir.
- That security check? - Yeah.
I ran it right after you asked.
Everybody came back clean.
Even you? Yeah, save the usual.
Bestial porn.
(THEY LAUGH) Permission to go take a piss now, sir? So long as that's all you take.
This takes me back.
Always liked it here.
One of the last to install cameras.
Still only has the three.
Nothing, for a London cemetery.
You'd think we could trust the dead to go unwatched.
Should I have brought flowers? Or is that premature? (HE EXHALES SHARPLY) The soldier is not complicit.
I thought he was, now I don't.
He doesn't have a clue where Roberts is.
(HE SIGHS) It's correction.
And there's only one option.
Which is? We are done trying to make this story disappear.
It's time to make it true.
I don't like the idea of leaving you here.
Well, I'd better get used to it.
It might be weeks before the big reveal, if it goes to trial.
It will.
It's working.
We need to find another way.
Well I guess I could just take her to the woods - just let her go.
- Frank.
She's a British citizen on British soil.
- Frank.
- Of course, of course, of course.
You're right.
Besides, I wouldn't know where to look for her, even if I wanted to.
Listen! You're making a mistake.
Let me talk to Frank.
Let me talk to Frank! Guys (HE STAMMERS) - there's nothing I can tell you.
- You're going to tell us something.
You've got it wrong (WATER RUNS) RADIO: low, Bailey, 1003, slow-moving.
Filling 1006 by midnight tonight.
New lows expected south-east Biscay, 993, and Fastnet 997 by same time.
The area forecasts for the next 24 hours.
Viking, North Utsire, variable north-westerly 3 or 4.
Sea state moderate.
Occasional showers, visibility mainly good.
South Utsire, north-westerly 4 or 5 (DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE) Cujo? (SHE GASPS) (SHE EXHALES) Anybody else in the house? Mm.
(HE EXHALES) Eli says hello.
I don't know what you did to offend him, but he sure gave you up in a heartbeat.
He's a little less forthcoming about your friends, though.
So I thought maybe you could shed some light.
Don't be blinded by delusions of loyalty.
They left you here, with only the protection of Rin Tin Tin.
Go, team.
I want you to tell me who you're working with.
(HE SIGHS) (HE CLEARS HIS THROAT) You're Dahmani's lawyer, right? Faisal Dahmani? Let me ask you a question.
Did you actually buy into his bullshit? Did he give you the big baby browns? Or did you know he was guilty? Prove it.
Come again? Prove my client was guilty in a court of law without falsifying evidence.
- Prove it! - I saw the intel.
- The wiretaps, the intercepts.
- Inadmissible.
In this country, maybe.
If you don't like it, you can - always fuck off home.
- Charming.
Sorry for keeping you safe.
My client is wrongly imprisoned.
- Who's keeping him safe? - Your client's a fucking terrorist.
It doesn't matter! Everybody has the right to a fair trial.
I'm not just doing this to save Faisal.
I'm not even doing it to save every other victim you've fucked over by correction.
I'm doing it to save our system of justice.
Innocent until proven guilty.
And I'm doing it to expose malignant bastards like you trying to undermine it.
Did you ever stop to think about the irony Hannah? Your beautiful system.
Your shining cornerstone.
It's anathema to the people you defend.
Your Islamist clients, they don't just want to kill you and me and a few thousand like us.
They want our way of life to end.
Faisal Dahmani he wants your beautiful system destroyed.
Prove it.
(HE SIGHS) (SHE GASPS) (SHE WHIMPERS) A woman's life.
Like I said, this wasn't how I wanted you to find out.
- I had a plan.
- And to think I played a part When the time was right, to tell you about the programme.
- makes me sick to my core.
- I'm not condoning what happened, but Hannah Roberts sealed her own fate.
And you'll see that.
- I can show you.
- Show me?! I don't want to be anywhere near you.
Rachel, I told you because I trust you.
- I believe in you.
- Don't touch me.
Rachel, you've got to be careful.
Rachel, don't do anything stu Rachel! What are you going to do?! (POUNDING MUSIC) I've known Hannah for seven years.
And I love her very much.
She didn't plan to risk her life, but was this a cause worth dying for? Yes, I believe she'd say it was.
Surely you can understand that.
Soldiers die in war.
This cause is like a war to us.
Suspects fitted up by the state.
Why don't they just deny it, then? A young Muslim gets caught supplying hydrogen peroxide, and his defence is to claim the video isn't real? A white nationalist with previous caught on camera buying firearms.
Who does the jury believe, Shaun, when the evidence is in front of them? Hannah's death needn't be in vain.
With her murder, those bastards took our stunt and they made it real.
Now they believe all they have to do is convict you and the question of false evidence goes away.
But we've still got the footage.
The real CCTV.
So fucking well get it out there, then! But it only works if you're charged, Shaun.
If we make it public now, all we've achieved is a story about fake news, and we want to show that correction has infected the courts.
You're expecting me to go through with this? My brother's still locked up.
So's my dad.
So's my son.
I was out, Charlie.
I was out.
I was about to see my kid.
And because of you, my ex thinks I'm a fucking murderer.
And you expect me to just go along with this? We hoped you would.
We didn't expect it, though.
The police are going to catch up with you sooner or later, Shaun.
And when they do, we're the only ones that can help you.
So all things considered, this is for the best.
Anonymous phone call.
Someone spotted you in the club, let the police arrest you and leave the rest to us.
It's not like you've left me much choice, is it, mate? When all this is over, you'll still be a hero, Shaun.
Just not in the way you thought.
Let me ask you something, and don't fucking lie.
Helmand.
The video was flawed, out of sync, like we said.
I'm not asking about the video.
The video doesn't prove my innocence.
What do you really think? What do you and Hannah really think? We gotta move.
(HE CLEARS HIS THROAT) (POUNDING MUSIC) (CROWD SCREAMS) (HE GROANS) (GUNSHOT) All units be advised.
Lights are down inside the venue.
Repeat, lights down inside the venue.
Understood.
All exits covered.
Please look straight forwards.
Keep moving.
Keep coming.
You all right, mate? Eyes on suspect.
South Emergency Exit, Wick Road.
Kilo 6 to all units.
Urgent assistance required.
Eyes on! Copy that, Kilo 6.
(SIREN BLARES) Kilo 1 to Kilo 6.
Repeat location.
Patrick? Sorry, ma'am.
(SIREN BLARES) (HE GROANS) (HE COUGHS) (CAR ENGINE STARTS) Please, don't run.
I couldn't arrest you if I wanted to.
They've taken me off the case.
Those people at Gastor Square.
They're the ones who killed Hannah.
I know.
You're innocent.
I can prove it.
I'm so tired of believing people.
Can't force you.
Where are you going? Somewhere safe.
He could try and force you, but he's scared you'll make his nose bleed again.
Is he coming? You coming? If you're lying, I'll break more than your fucking nose, yeah? All right, Chuck Norris.
Door's open.
The most heavily surveilled city in the entire Western world, and the prick just can't just be found? Who's helping him now, Putin? (HE SIGHS) Find out which school his daughter goes to.
