Red Election (2021) s01e08 Episode Script

Forged the report from the
Skanda pub bombing.
It's two types of explosives.
Amatex and RM2.
Heard about William. What can we do?
When you get out. Anything you
want. Call me and it's yours.
This machine! I asked for hot
water, it gives me coffee! I'm pregnant.
Why are you here?
I didn't mean to upset you, Miss Vilfort.
I'm just here to support my daughter.
The coordinates are for Copenhagen,
about half a mile from where
Katrine Poulsen was living.
Send those coordinates to the Copenhagen
police.
Beatrice, no. We shouldn't have
even been in Denmark in the first place.
This needs to go to
the Foreign Office.
Fuck the Foreign Office and fuck you.
Torben. Torben! This
was not part of the plan.
It's part of it now. I'll deal with Torben.
Say you
were with him all weekend.
You wake up
Monday, he's gone.
Hi, darling. It's me.
I need my morning coffee.
Got you.
This is Torben Jenssen.
Leave a message.
Hi, darling. It's me.
I need my morning coffee.
Hi, where are you?
Please call me when you hear this.
Thanks.
Welcome, Katrine.
Thank you.
Our cyber genius insisted on being
paid in diamonds.
A piece of sunshine.
You will meet here.
You make the delivery. You begin the
final phase.
These are not fake.
Give an unhappy woman some hope,
and she is yours
forever.
She's been screwing us the whole
time.
So, the coordinates were for Torben
Jensen's grave?
I knew I should have listened to my gut.
You never really trusted
her. None of us did.
Yeah, what did we do with that? We invited
her right in.
So, she reported Torben missing
on Monday morning.
Said he was with her all
weekend.
His watch stopped three days
earlier, when he was buried.
Wait, so Redback never had nothing to do
with bio-fuels?
What?
Cause Torben was already dead when it was
downloaded, innit.
Fuck.
Do the DSIS know?
Right, do not talk to the Danes. Her boss
might be bent, too.
I'm only asking.
Just bring Katrine Poulsen in. Keep
her there. I'm gonna take her apart.
Good.
Is this a joke?
I can only apologize for my
technician.
Made for women by men, like the rest
of the world.
It could have been worse. It
could have been a tampon.
What you've achieved, it's really quite
something.
I can only say the same.
So many of us have dedicated ourselves to
Redback.
If you should let it slip from your
grasp now
Nothing's slipping.
William Ogilvy is being released.
Men are
afraid that women will laugh at them.
But
women are afraid that men will kill them.
I'm not afraid of anybody.
You walked into a trap once before.
But here I am.
I'd hate to see my work wasted.
I thought you were concerned for my safety.
A pity to see you wasted, too.
They'll be a
place in the new world for women like us,
but
currently you're a target.
Leave Ogilvy to me.
You told me we had him. You told me he was in
jail, but William fucking Ogilvy, he's out.
He'll be dealt with. Bring me the worm.
He held a gun to my head and you don't
fucking get away with that.
We are so close, Katrine.
And who's in the firing line?
I will personally make sure
William Ogilvy is taken care of.
No, but I don't want him dead. That's not
enough!
Katrine! Katrine!
Losing his reputation and his freedom, that
will destroy him.
What the hell is this?
Do you have the worm?
Of course I have it.
Well then, bring it to me right now!
I have people telling me I couldn't
trust you and I defended you.
You think I will go
through all this for nothing?
We are two days away from final phase!
Yeah, and Ogilvy, he's a threat to that.
Without me, there would be no Redback. Are
people aware of that?
We know. We all know.
I'll take down Ogilvy and then I
bring in the worm.
No! Katrine!
Bitch!
This is certainly working in your
favor.
Can we get that taken down?
Has anyone ever explained the internet to
you?
That looks as if we put it up.
That's besides the point. This
daughter stuff
has pumped us up to 52 percent.
What is it?
It's the DNA results.
She's not yours?
I was so sure. How am I gonna tell her?
Do you think you should?
What?
This can't come out before the referendum.
She has to know.
Yeah and meanwhile the news spreads.
Of course it will.
She's not gonna be able
to keep it to herself.
It would be unfair to
ask her to.
It's going to look as if you
manipulated the whole thing.
You just barely survived the
deep-fake thing.
We're walking on
a tightrope as it is.
I'll have to talk to Etta.
And what do you think she's gonna
say? Tell Holly.
No. We need to keep this between us,
Adam. Just for now.
Hi, Mikkel.
Hi, Katrine.
I have some news.
Is it Torben?
Yes, it's him.
They found his body. It's
It's not
Where.
The found him
close to your appartment.
In the woods.
OK.
I've also lost the baby.
Oh, Katrine.
Maybe that's ok.
I don't know what to say.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Mhm.
Men Beatrice Ogilvy.
She was here.
Katrine, I really think you should
come back.
So
As soon as I can get to Ogilvy.
They find Torben.
Don't you think it's strange?
I don't know, Katrine.
I'll book a flight for this
evening.
Could you send me the
CCTV pictures from the Skanda pub bomb?
We've been through them already.
Many times. There isn't anything.
Nothing. On the day of the
explosion.
No, but let's go further back.
Mikkel? What if I'm right?
And it is Ogilvy.
Please, let me finish this.
Then I'll come home, I promise.
OK.
Strike team dispatched.
Good. Let's get eyes on the hotel,
yeah?
On it.
Here we go.
We're bringing in Poulsen
right now.
Strike team is ready to go in.
Beatrice's flight's due in an hour.
I've been briefed.
My office.
Now!
Is that satisfying? Did it
bolster your fragile ego?
I didn't have a choice.
Not every day you get the chance to
incarcerate your boss.
I acted on the evidence!
Evidence! You played straight into
their hands.
Now we're left with our dicks in the
wind.
In hindsight it was the wrong call.
So, tell me what you've cost
us. I can't fucking hear you!
Our Russian agent
The catastrophic loss of valuable agents.
What else?
Once we bring in Poulsen
"Once we bring in Poulsen."
If this Redback
happens
I will hold you personally to
account.
What?
Nothing.
How's William?
Let's just focus on Katrine,
yeah? Where are we at?
Got her hotel. Her PDA's active. Room 311.
Third floor.
Getting comms up now. OK. We're live.
Is the building fully secure?
Eight officers standing by.
Body cams, please.
Yeah.
OK, let's go.
Entering the building.
Beatrice will be gutted she's missing this.
Crossing to reception.
Let's keep eyes peeled on all exits
now. First floor landing.
Did you forget something.
Second floor.
No number plates.
Preceding to third floor.
Third-floor corridor. Bring it up.
Got it. OK.
Arriving at the target's room.
Preparing for entry.
Five, four, three
two, one.
Go, go, go!
Armed Police!
Get on the ground!
Go on. Through there. Through there.
Get in there.
Hello?
Police!
Where the fuck is she?
Have you got her?
Negative. No contact made.
Eight sodding men?
What have you got?
That's her PDA.
She booked a hotel room for her PDA.
Fuck!
Fuck.
Beatrice. You made some progress.
Copenhagen.
Yes.
Keep me informed.
When did you get out?
This morning.
You're welcome.
Who are you?
I said, who are you?
I thought the house was empty. I'm
hungry.
Bullshit! You're that little Danish
spook!
What is this, huh?
Who sent you?
Talk!
Are you running away?
Who sent you?
You know who sent me.
We've been
investigating William Ogilvy.
Bullshit. Huh?
You drugged me. You
fucking bitch!
You get your meds mixed up?
Adam? Holly hasn't been in touch. Have you
heard from her?
I'd have to check my voicemails. I'll call
her tonight. Why? Are you worried about her?
Oh, I can't bear what this is turning
me into. It's why I didn't wanna have kids.
I know.
I'll be the one doing packed
lunches, vetting the Insta accounts.
I care about Holly too.
I know you do.
Meeting starts at three, Adam. We
should really
Yeah, just a minute.
Don't make me responsible for your
relationship with your daughter.
What is it?
Nothing. Big day.
Eyes on the prize.
What is it?
And freeze.
The elusive Dane.
How was the flight?
It didn't crash.
Danish police have been in touch.
Yeah, I stole some evidence.
They would like it back.
When I'm done with it.
Got something.
Right, when was this?
Two hours ago.
Thought we had her.
Yeah, in the hotel. So, where does she go
from here?
West on Priory Road.
Then what?
Nothing. No working cameras.
Look, the forensic report from her
flat in Copenhagen,
can you chase it up? And as
soon as you get it, bring it to me.
Of course.
Hello?
Beatrice? It's Holly. Er, sorry, I
didn't know who else to call.
What can I do for you?
I know this is out of the blue but
you sent me your number.
I've come to London
to see my dad but the press,
they won't leave
me alone. They're everywhere.
Look, Holly, you should
call Adam. He's your dad.
I I have. He's not picking up. I've left
messages, I didn't know who else to call.
Holly, where are you now?
Are you ready to tell the truth?
William Ogilvy used you.
You know he
was arrested?
Of course you do.
You're just like
me.
I mean, you've always got one packed
and you're ready to run.
But you're
not stupid.
You must have worked it out by now.
Ogilvy worked both sides.
And the Russians, they
decided it was time to cash up.
The Skanda bomb, that
was Russian destabilization.
The day before
the explosion, you walked into the pub
carrying a big heavy bag and
when you walked out it was empty.
Do you think he'd
show you the same loyalty?
We hacked his phone.
Do you know what he called you?
He called you a deniable commodity.
He gave the order.
Who did?
William.
William Ogilvy gave me the
order. He gave the order.
He gave the order.
Hello. Will you put me through to the Prime
Minister's office?
Hang on.
OK. I can talk.
I know they found Torben and I know
you all think it was me,
but I'm being framed, Levi.
Ogilvy is not working for Russia, I
know that,
but I've got something on him that
will put him back inside.
What?
You don't believe me?
Ogilvy, he held a gun to my head
because he knew I was on to him.
And you saw it. You saw the fucking
gun.
Yeah. I saw the gun.
So, you know what he's capable of.
He's putting Torben's murder on me.
That's a hell of an accusation.
That's just the start.
Why are you bringing this to me?
Because you know. You know how
dangerous he is.
I'm not ending up as collateral.
How
about you?
Do you think he wouldn't kill you?
Levi. I'll give you the evidence,
but you have to come alone.
Say you'll come alone.
OK. I'll come alone.
No backup. No Beatrice. Nobody.
Levi I'm trusting you with my
life.
Where?
I'll send you the location.
Meet me in one hour.
Where are you going?
Yesterday it was fuck you, today it's small
talk?
Who just called you?
It was Katrine,
wasn't it? You're going to meet her.
That's the location,
isn't it?
Look, you do know she's not gonna be
there, don't you?
If you're going somewhere, you've got
to take me with you. This is mine.
Obviously she won't be there. This is
a test to see if she can trust me or not,
so if you're tagging along,
you're gonna blow any play I can make.
Look, does she know what you're gonna
do later?
Yes. She knows I've got fives tonight
in Clapham.
That's where she'll show up.
Why did she bring this to you?
Because she's got something on your
father
and she sees someone else who's been
an Ogilvy punchbag.
Look, we can't go rogue on this.
"We?" Since when was this a "we"
thing?
We've got to take this to William.
Sure.
Footsloggers follow the rules,
so people like William
can do whatever they want.
He'll
kill her. You know that?
Oh, come on. Don't be insane.
Does he often dine with a hang gun on
the dinner table?
If she has evidence against
William, I wanna see it.
She killed her partner.
She says she was framed to protect
your dad.
Beatrice? You said to bring this soon
as.
What is it?
Traces of a VX nerve agent found inside
a Copenhagen flat of Katrine Poulsen.
Thank you.
VX traces in her flat.
She's working with Oleg Adamov.
Levi
We need to do this to William.
Hey I know I've been
treating you like shit.
Yeah.
My dad preferred you.
Bees and wasps, innit.
No. He thought you were the best person for
the job.
I've had a call from Katrine Poulsen.
What does she want?
To meet. She sent her location. She won't
be there. There's too many vantage points.
Interesting that she should contact you.
She reckons she's got information
that could put you back inside.
And she thought you were the
ideal person to assist with that?
Look, assuming the first location is a test,
we think she'll intercept Levi later tonight.
Where?
Clapham Sports just before six.
Right. Make sure she gets a good look
at you.
You make the grab at second location.
Get me Special Branch, please.
Etta Cornwell's expecting us.
A lot of responsibility. Investigating
someone who shall remain nameless.
I was just part of a team.
A very junior part, so.
Who was it?
You can't ask that!
It wasn't my dad, was it?
No, no. Not your dad, no. No.
Well, I'll give you my number.
I've-I've already got it.
What?
Beatrice gave it to me. In case, in case
I couldn't find you, so
Not looking for a date or anything.
It's totally practical, so.
After what happened
You might need help, so.
Holly? I wish you would have
called us before bothering MI5.
I left messages for Adam.
Oh. Well, come on up. I've put fresh towels
out.
They took my bag.
Don't worry. We'll get it sent up.
I should warn you, I'm pretty good
at getting secrets out of people.
I got a call from Levi.
No show. Big
surprise.
So, there are four possible routes
that Katrine could take to get to the
sports center.
What's
happened?
Kelvin Cruickshanks. A note's been
found among his possessions,
suggesting you bear
responsibility for Laird's death.
Special
Branch are here to interview you.
I can't deal with this now.
No choice. DG wants it tied off.
So, who's going out?
I've put a team together.
Well, play it again. Play it again.
Why don't you just fuck off back to
Westminster
and we'll make up our own
minds?
Well, we always knew we were going to
get a bit of hostility.
Have you seen this?
"Number one reasons for Scots
intending to vote against independence."
They love the English?
Shockingly no. It's your ploy.
Full
economic, legal and military independence
at the stroke of midnight.
It'll scare the crap out of them.
I'm a genius.
Stable genius.
Turns out getting back into the EU
isn't such a big deal.
Ah, now we are thinking,
low-key, semi-triumphant for
tomorrow's round of interviews.
Wonderful. Holly's upstairs.
An MI5 officer brought her back this
afternoon.
She phoned them when she couldn't get
a hold of you.
Why?
I don't know, Adam. Maybe she needed
someone to rescue her.
OK. Well, we just have a couple of,
um
The referendum is tomorrow, Etta.
What do you expect me to do?
Kelvin Cruickshanks was suffering
from PTSD,
so that's how I account for his
allegations.
We have force. We have the law.
We're the number one intelligence service
in the world. The idea that we would use
What were you saying?
That we would use unsanctioned
methods is
Sorry. You're gonna have to excuse
me.
Well, it's that or I piss on the
floor, so
Marcus, I need to make a call,
but I
need you to make it come from this number.
I'm sending
you the details now.
Yes. Still looking to expand. What time?
Have you seen Katrine?
Estate agent. Just a moment. Give me
the address. Mm-hm.
She doesn't answer the phone.
What can you tell me about the
property?
When did you see Katrine last?
Give an unhappy woman some hope
and she is yours?
Maybe it isn't enough?
Keep moving. We have you covered.
Got her. She's on xxx road.
Proceed through the park.
We'll intercept on the other side.
Get in the car.
William and his backup are two
minutes away. Get in the fucking car.
You're driving.
Shit! Shit. William, she's gone.
What?
She got into a car with
Beatrice and drove off.
Fuck! Fuck!
Move. Go on.
What the hell is this?
Get in there.
Move.
Sit down.
Sit down!
Is that Torben's? I know he's dead. Michael
called me.
That is a performance I would loved to have
seen.
Hi darling. It's me.
I need my morning coffee.
Nice touch.
I'm being set up because of what I
know about your father.
God, don't you ever stop?
Torben's body turns up the second
William's arrested.
Don't you think it's a bit of a
coincidence?
What are you looking for?
Shit. Take your jacket off.
Take your fucking jacket off now!
Let me show you what your father's capable
of. It's on my phone.
I'm not interested.
Is that William?
Estate agent.
Go on. Get over there, with your
friend.
Move.
Now
One of you two is gonna
tell me what Redback is.
I heard Oleg Adamov in your
office.
I think my father got really close
and you set up that raid to get rid of him.
What is
Redback?
This is insane.
Don't say anything.
I was saying, tell her what you know.
In English!
I should have trusted my
instincts about you.
How could you when every thought has
been shaped by Daddy?
Oh, wow! I'm being lectured by Oleg
Adamov's sock puppet!
I'm the puppet?
We found VX traces in your flat.
They'd do anything to frame me.
I think, when your sister died
Don't talk about my sister.
you just grabbed the opportunity
to spread more poison.
Well, you know what? A lot of
people live through tragedy,
but they don't kill their lover.
They don't betray their country!
And they don't allow a woman to burn
to death!
I mean, how could you let them do
that?
Especially when it's how your sister
died!
I'm giving you the opportunity to put
things right.
You think you're with the good guys?
Well, I'm not planning a terror attack!
Let me show you what your father did.
Oh, God, you're just You'll say anything,
won't you?
You can't look at the evidence because what
would that mean to you?
This is desperate.
Everything you do is for William.
Everything I do is to protect my country.
To protect your father.
You betrayed your country.
You betrayed yourself.
No.
The man is corrupt.
- You killed. You murdered.
- He's evil and you cover for him.
No.
Because what else have you got?
This is pathetic! These wild allegations.
I saw you I saw you hiding the gun.
I saw your boyfriend, Torben, in a shallow
grave.
What else have you done for him? What else
have you done for him?
You You fucking put him there!
What else have you done for him?
No, you fucking put
What else?
I thought we were on the same page.
I reacted to new information.
You gonna tell me what happened?
Today is the big day. The
polling stations are open.
I was wondering about the DNA results. Will
you be disappointed if I'm Adam's daughter?
God, no. I'd be delighted.
We had a strategy. You sabotaged it. Why?
Why do you think?
I wanted her sitting there, not you.
I mean, even with a gun to her head, she
doesn't talk, does she?
We've been sent the DNA results. Adam
Cornwell isn't your father.
It was my call not to tell her.
Holly should have been told the moment that
you knew!
We didn't know the results would leak.
It doesn't matter!
What was your role in the Skanda bombing?
I vowed to protect the union.
You killed people who you vowed to protect!
Well, this is massive.
Tell me that's another deep-fake recording.
Emotions are fragile.
Holding them
together takes strength
and courage, and
self-sacrifice.
