The Capture (2019) s02e03 Episode Script

Correction is a method of real
time image manipulation, using the
disruption of camera feeds and the
deployment of deep-fake technology.
So it has a name, what happened to me?
Rachel certainly made
an impression on Turner.
Wouldn't hurt to keep him on side.
You seem to forget how close
she came to reporting us.
If you still don't trust her,
Gemma, you know what to do.
Keep her close.
I'm filming this for my dossier,
detailing the systematic,
illegal practice of
video evidence tampering
known as Correction.
If you need technical help with the
BBC, I'll loan you one of my guys.
But if I find out you put
them on China, the deal's off.
You're convinced China's responsible?
Beijing is trying to
meddle in British policy.
Yan Wanglei, Xanda's man in London,
he's a part of it. I'm certain.
Sometimes to seems to me as if there are
two Isaac Turners.
So which Isaac Turner should I believe?
As London's CEO of Xanda Facial Rec,
Yan Wanglei has the motive
and the technical capability.
I'm sorry to hear about
your detective sergeant.
You said he was shot but you
didn't say if he survived.
No, I didn't.
How do you feel about
joining the surveillance unit?
We need eyes on Yan Wanglei.
Sir.
Patrick, you'd better wake up.
We need you.
No, I haven't joined them.
I am trying to beat them.
And they are watching me day and night.
Isaac Turner's just cut his
protection officers loose.
He's booked himself on Newsnight.
Mr Turner!
They kill people to protect it.
Have you got a plan to expose it?
Have you changed your mind?
I've reached my decision to
recommend to the cabinet
see profiling as an AI flaw.
Xanda treats it as a selling point.
Somebody stop this broadcast!
It's not cutting!
I'm advocating the use
of racial profiling
wherever it keeps us safe.
We've been hacked.
This has been changed, faked.
Corrected.
You need to prove it definitively,
so no-one can deny it.
And how do you suggest doing that?
Together.
I've just committed
career suicide on live TV.
Except I haven't.
And what? I'm
expected to stay silent?
My wife thinks I've gone insane,
my staff are threatening to quit
and the Home Secretary's
stopped answering my calls.
I understand how difficult this must be.
Oh, oh, do you?
Because last time I looked it
wasn't you on camera extolling
the virtues of racial bias.
I thought you said he
was being cooperative?
All things considered.
Perhaps it's not my place
to remind you of the stakes.
No need.
Your minion explained it
to us on pain of death.
Issues of National Security,
the likes of which we can
never know or understand.
I appreciate your support.
We're all public servants, eh?
And I shall just have to
cling to my much tested belief
that you people have the
nation's best interests at heart,
and assume you'll do
everything in your power
to prevent this ever happening again.
We'll need you to answer some
questions, go over what happened.
Fine. But as this is past my bedtime,
I'm going to need a little
something to keep me going.
Luckily, I know where
Ed keeps his stash.
Coffee.
Anyone else?
Thank you.
I can't promise milk and sugar.
She seems very compliant.
How the hell did you manage that?
Learning from you, ma'am.
Control to Kilo 1.
Kilo 1.
Most common cause of compromise.
Sorry?
Needing a wee.
I don't.
Your leg is shaking.
I don't need a wee.
There's only one option if you do.
I'm not going to wet myself in your car.
You wouldn't be the first.
Movement.
Kilo 9 to Control.
Control, Kilo 9. Go ahead.
Eyes on target.
Guv?
Wanglei is mobile.
I want the holy trinity of tracking.
Eyes on, face rec and GPS.
Sir.
Confirm eyeball on target, Kilo 9.
Pos ID.
Run facial rec.
Happening.
Target ID confirmed.
Facial Rec confirmed.
Run vehicle check.
Kilo 9 to Control.
Target is in a black S class Mercedes,
registration 735 D812.
Confirmed.
Diplomatic plates.
Good to know the Embassy's
looking after him.
Get me into that Merc.
Stand by. Stand by.
Target on the move.
Track that vehicle.
Kilo 9, tail target.
Stay close, Kilo 9.
Maintain eyeball on target.
Understood.
Kilo 9 to Control. Target
turning left on Gower Road.
Run ANPR.
Happening.
Confirmed.
How's that GPS?
We're into the Merc.
Outstanding.
Tell us what you've got, Kilo 9.
Target turning left
onto Mandeville Place.
Confirmed.
Target held at the
junction with Bellevue Road.
Confirmed.
Target just ran a red
light. Tail compromised.
This is Control to Kilo 9.
I don't care if the target
knows you're there.
Just don't let him out of your sight.
Understood.
He does not want to be followed.
Tough shit.
A spokesperson for the Muslim
Council of Great Britain
has called on Security
Minister Isaac Turner to
"apologise or resign" after comments
he made about racial profiling AI
earlier this evening.
The minister's claims are not
just absurd and offensive
they are inflammatory,
and reinforce the most
damaging racial stereotypes.
The truth is racial-profiling
is what makes Xanda
the most effective security
system on the market.
If, say, and I'm not
saying this is the case,
but if, say, Muslim men
between the ages of 17
Is it Daddy?
No. It wasn't him.
Go back to bed, Harrison.
It's the middle of the night.
When is he coming back?
Soon, darling.
Go. I'll come and kiss you
night-night in a minute.
Call for support.
I want everyone here ID'd, questioned
and slap a D-notice on the whole lot.
If they're not suspects
they're witnesses.
Christ.
Journos!
Can't think of worse
people to try to keep quiet.
Ma'am, from where I was standing,
I don't think any of them witnessed it.
They know something happened
but they were all watching
the fake version.
The whole system was
taken over remotely,
not just the feeds.
The hardware.
The edit was locked on
Turner in that control room.
They couldn't cut away.
We need a list of everybody with
access to that room, that kit.
Somebody here must be complicit.
- What about Khan?
- No.
Khadija Khan's reaction, I just, erm
I just think somebody behind
the scenes is more likely.
Kilo 9 to Control.
Kilo 9, go ahead.
Target joining the A4.
Confirmed.
Confirmed. A4 Westbound.
Westbound.
What's the target's home address?
The Grange, Five Oak Green.
Five Oak Green, what the fuck is that?
A village in Kent.
Well, he's not headed there, is he?
Not unless he's taking the scenic route.
Kilo 9 to Control.
Target joining the M4 Motorway.
Confirmed.
Confirmed. The M4, westbound.
Control to Kilo 1.
Go ahead.
Suspect is on the move.
Direction of Heathrow.
Check passenger logs.
Happening.
No name matches any flights to
Beijing in the next 24 hours.
Could be travelling under a false ID.
You're talking about Wanglei?
We can't let him board a plane, Kilo 1.
I'm aware. It's a political decision.
You want to wake up the Home Sec?
No, no.
Look, you want Government backing
to arrest a Chinese national?
Top cover, ideally. Home Sec or PM.
Yeah, by the time you get
a straight answer the target
will be in the air.
What makes you say that?
Kilo 9 to Control.
Target passing M4 Junction 2.
- Confirmed.
- Confirmed.
15 minutes to Terminal 1.
I'm the Security Minister.
I can declare a critical incident.
Why wake up Gill when you've got me?
I can't stop him in
a diplomatic vehicle.
I'm aware.
Arrest when target
shows intent to travel,
issue an all-ports warning,
delay every flight headed east.
Target steps into Departures,
that's good enough for me.
I'm heading to Heathrow
with a green light from
the Security Minister.
Collate the statements.
Verify all witness IDs
with CTC and release.
What? What is it?
No, nothing, ma'am.
Control to all units.
We are moving to Amber.
Stand by for executive
action to arrest the target
on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
The target must demonstrate
intent to leave the UK.
Arrest teams at every terminal,
remain inside Departures.
Target sees armed guards at the door,
he might get twitchy
and change his mind.
Kilo 9 to Control.
Target passing M4 Junction 3.
Stay on him, Kilo 9.
You may not have power of arrest yet,
but you have the power
to stay up his arse.
Understood.
Sorry to cut this short.
I need the room.
That's not necessary,
Ms Khan. You can stay.
Collate the statements.
Verify witness IDs with CTC.
Yes, ma'am.
I need to see the interview again.
Do you know your way round this?
Mm. I've spent my time in the gallery.
You asked me if Xanda
had been tested for
racial bias. I'm afraid my
answer wasn't entirely accurate.
What is it?
You still think Wanglei is behind this?
The truth is
Racial-profiling is what
makes Xanda the most effective
security system on the market.
Yes, I was trying to withdraw
my support for his bid.
He stopped me from
saying China poses a risk.
You were also corrected to say
that Xanda Facial Recognition
makes use of racial profiling.
While most facial recognition
providers see profiling
as an AI flaw, Xanda treats
it as a selling point.
Why would the head of Xanda UK make
you say that about his own company?
I don't know, but he is currently
trying to leave the country.
If we don't stop him now, we'll
never get the chance to ask.
Trojan 26 to Kilo 3.
Go ahead.
Update on asset as requested, ma'am.
He's awake?
Doctors just came to check him.
Said they expect him to
wake up in the next hour.
You did say to call if
he so much as stirred.
Yes. Thank you. Ah
What is it?
Kilo 3 to Kilo 6?
Kilo 6. Go ahead.
When did you last run
a feed check to the hospital?
15 minutes.
Run another.
Any concern, Kilo 3?
Unclear.
Where's Patrick's family?
PPOs escorted them home
just before the last check.
I'm heading back there.
Check the feeds. Check the guard detail.
Keep me updated on 2.
Understood.
Hospital?
As with everything else
we've discussed, Khadija,
you keep this under wraps.
Until you can give me
everything, the deep-fake scandal.
Correction.
You leave the wording to me.
I'm going to come with you.
I-I can't allow it. The
CPOs will take you home.
I declared this critical incident.
If there's a development I
want to know what's going on.
And, frankly, you're the only
one I trust to tell me the truth.
Ah, don't leave this behind,
Minister. You'll be needing it.
And, as I said,
I'll keep my side of the bargain
so long as you keep yours.
Comms check, Trojan 21.
R5.
Status update?
No change, no change.
Asset check. All in order.
Trojan 26.
R5. No change, no change.
Ward clear. All in order.
Feed check?
Trojan 26, feed check.
One, two,
three.
Unlucky, Trojan 26.
Rocks beats scissors.
Again?
Feed check complete.
Kilo 6, Kilo 3.
Hospital feed check,
comms check. All in order.
Received. Repeat checks
every ten minutes.
I'm on my way there.
Kilo 9 to Control.
Target exiting M4, Junction 4.
- Confirmed.
- Confirmed.
Five minutes to Terminal 1.
Control, my ETA is 12 minutes.
Detain the suspect at the
airport and await my arrival.
Understood.
Do you think I've got this wrong?
And if it wasn't China
What makes you so sure
the Home Secretary wouldn't
give us a straight answer on Wanglei?
The UK is under attack by
a suspected foreign power.
Do you know what
the Government's response is?
Neither do I.
When I tried to doorstep
Rowan Gill for a briefing,
I was told to go home and rest.
What aren't they telling you?
Take it.
Oh I don't know what to tell her.
I don't want to lie.
It's not really my area.
If we win,
you'll be able to tell her everything.
Control to Kilo 1.
Kilo 1 to Control.
All units, stand by
for executive action.
Kilo 9 to Control.
Target taking roundabout
exit for Terminal 1.
Confirmed.
Control to Kilo 9.
The minute the target
is out of the vehicle
and proceeding on foot to the terminal,
that is intent to travel.
Walk up, hands on.
Understood.
Target arrival at Terminal 1.
- Confirmed.
- Confirmed.
Kilo 9, arrival.
Get more feeds on that target.
Come on, then.
Out you come.
Kilo 1 to Control.
Confirm eyes on target.
We have eyes on target.
GPS and CCTV, as instructed.
Eyes on target or target vehicle?
Eyes on target
Vehicle.
Fuck.
To confirm, we have
eyes on a diplomatic car
with blacked out windows?
Yes, and we've had eyes on
the same vehicle continuously
since the target got into it, Kilo 9?
Confirmed.
So why isn't he getting out?
Kilo 3 to Control.
Go ahead.
Heathrow may be a distraction.
Suspected decoy operation in progress.
Request urgent backup and
firearms support to the hospital.
I'm two minutes away.
Understood.
Kilo 3 to Kilo 6?
Kilo 6. Go ahead.
Assume all feeds monitoring
DS Patrick Flynn are unsafe.
Feed check all in order, Kilo 3.
Kilo 6, assume all
hospital feeds are unsafe.
Understood.
- I take it Patrick is
- The surviving officer from
the attempt on Gregory Knox.
He saved my colleague's life.
He's also the only
eyewitness to the suspect.
Control, what's the ETA on backup?
Firearms support, three minutes.
I'll be on the ward.
Negative. Stand by for
Armed Support, Kilo 3.
Ah Is-is that wise?
Not to wait?
I don't mean to tell you
how to do your job, but
Good.
Ah. Don't even think about it.
Remain in the vehicle.
Feed check. Ward check. All in order.
Building's clear.
Stand by for support.
- Kilo 3 to Trojan 21.
- Go ahead.
Be advised, DCI incoming.
I'm on the ground floor, on the way up.
Received.
You're all clear, ma'am.
Carey.
So there was a van outside my house
the morning before the attack.
We thought it was, like, paps,
trying to take our photos.
- So?
- Well, it's here.
The same van, waiting on
the corner, engine running.
Do not exit the vehicle.
Trojan 21. Imminent threat to life.
Trojan 26. Asset compromised.
Imminent threat to life.
Shooter is in the C Block service lift.
All units. I need a PLATO response.

vehicle, no eyes on target.
Confirmed.
How do you feel about
tapping on the window, Kilo 1?
Which bay?
Red.
Red Bay is empty.
Come again?
No eyes on target vehicle.
Control to Kilo 1. We can't
see you. Confirm terminal.

Home address, ETA two minutes.
Kilo 9, this is Control. Do you read?
Kilo 9, confirm location.
Control to Kilo 1.
Gemma?
Operation Vanguard is compromised.
I'm not exiting the vehicle.
Emergency. Which service do you require?
Ah, police. My name's Isaac Turner.
I'm the Security Minister
for the Home Office.
I'm currently in pursuit of a suspect,
or group of suspects, in an ongoing
conspiracy to murder investigation.
What's your location?
Ah, my location is the Blackfriars Road.
The suspects are driving
a van with the registration
That's Golf,
X-ray, 66, Alpha, Echo, Echo.
They're driving south
on the Blackfriars Road,
away from the hospital,
which they've just left,
and where I believe that
- All right, I will dispatch
- Oh, you're here now.
I can see a car.
- Wow. Was that you?
- Isaac, stay where you are.
- One second.
- And do not put yourself in any danger.
Yeah, they're up ahead. Grey van.
Oh, for fuck's sake, can you
tell them? They're trying to
Isaac, can you repeat
where your location is?
Fucking hell.
I-I'm fine. I've just got 999
here. I'm just telling them
Step out the vehicle please, sir?
No, no, the van is up there.
If you don't go after them
Please step out of the vehicle.
Jesus Christ.
They'll change the CCTV and get away.
Are you the owner of this vehicle, sir?
Am I the what? No, no, of course not.
And are you aware of what speed
you were driving at
- when we stopped you?
- Am?
You're shitting me.
The whole system was overwhelmed.
Camera networks, comms.
Wanglei was never en
route to the airport.
He just knew it'd get our attention.
- It isn't him.
- I'm sorry?
Where's Isaac Turner? Is he safe?
Yeah, I believe so.
I'm waiting for an update.
- Apparently, he says he got a
- We can't talk here.
There's no CCTV in here, like I said.
- No routers.
- Thank you.
Let's lose comms and phones, please.
Would you mind keeping these safe?
It's not China.
Just because Wanglei was used as a decoy
doesn't make him complicit.
The second hack on
Newsnight implicated Xanda
in the use of racial profiling.
That can't be in his
interests, or Beijing's.
The cameras on Flynn's ward were
isolated on a secure network,
controlled from
the seventh floor of CTC.
We know. We're investigating.
Ops are tearing down the
system and starting again.
Whoever's behind this is
watching everything we do
they know our next move before we do.
They're into CTC, STRAP
clearance, the BBC.
They're into our secure comms,
and they're faking our own
fucking voices, for Christ's sake!
What is your point?
Who do we know with that much access,
that much capability, with his
claws into everything we do?
I saw him.
Frank Napier.
Here at the hospital.
Frank was here?
Earlier this evening, before
the hack on the studio.
If you've got any reasoning,
Rachel, let's hear it,
beyond seeing the man here
and listing his capabilities.
The CIA does not have
eyes on the seventh floor.
If they've found a way
to hack into it, they do.
You heard him.
As far as Frank Napier's concerned,
the US is in a cold war with China.
You think this is
a false flag operation?
By America?
It's possible.
A plot to turn the UK against China.
A false flag doesn't
explain the mixed messaging.
There's something else.
You said the hack on the studio
gallery suggested inside help.
Yeah.
Well, while you're running
checks on the director,
the vision mixer, the sound man,
there's another suspect
you might want to consider.
He doesn't work in TV.
You might find him
a little bit closer to home.
It wasn't just the
crew who had access to
the controls in that studio.
Thanks to us, a core member
of Napier's team was given
a full unrestricted pass.
Or thanks to you, to be exact.
What are you driving at?
You're the SIO.
You sent Napier's tech op into the BBC.
You're in shock, Detective.
That means you're entitled
to be out of line, to a point.
Perhaps we should discuss this
after you've been home to rest.
Well, it's hardly a leap!
If Frank Napier's behind
this, you can't blame me
for wondering if you are too.
Both of you.
Steady the fuck on.
A Police Detective is dead.
Two firearms officers.
Patrick wasn't meant to be
a target, though, was he?
He got caught in the crossfire
and became a witness.
I'm sure no-one wanted him dead.
But it wouldn't be the first
time Frank Napier sacrificed
British life for the sake of Correction,
and it wouldn't be the first
time you failed to stop him.
- That is enough!
- Hannah Roberts was
an enemy of the British State.
I need to know.
If this is a plot between us and the CIA
to steer UK government
away from Chinese tech
then I need to know,
because at least then
Patrick died for a reason.
I do understand.
If, if
If Beijing gets a stake in UK
facial recognition it could amount
to a permanent security breach.
If we're not trying to stop
that deal, we should be.
As hard as it is to take,
I understand if DS Flynn
became collateral.
It's national security.
Well, ah
As rousing as that was,
you couldn't be more wrong.
We're as much in the dark as you are.
I seriously doubt Frank Napier
has a hand in the seventh floor,
but if he does he's on his own.
He's a rogue player. Always has been.
Where did you see him exactly?
He was on the ground floor.
I don't know if this was
just for my benefit, but
So he saw you?
He acted like he was here for something.
Radiology was the department.
For God's sake, Rachel, the man
had an appointment in Radiology.
I'm sure we can verify?
I'll deal with Frank.
Minister.
Are you OK?
No, I'm fine.
So I saw two men fleeing
the hospital in a grey Mercedes van.
Ah, GX66 AEE.
Sorry, this is all very helpful,
but would you mind telling me
what the hell you were doing
here in the first place?
I insisted.
It's a miracle you didn't get shot.
We'll get you to CTC,
take a full statement.
No, I'm sorry. I haven't got the time.
The Home Secretary has
asked to see me, so
Flynn?
I'm sorry.
Did you get a look at them?
Yes. They were both wearing
scrubs and face masks.
Well, I could see they were
both white males, medium build.
I'd say one was in
the region of six foot.
The other was smaller, about 5'10.
Start processing hospital staff
for anyone matching that description.
Detective?
Ah, sorry. I, erm
I think you're right. I do need to rest.
I'll be in in the morning.
The shock you've had,
you'll need longer than that.
Consider it compassionate leave.
We'll discuss timeline in due course.
Thanks, ma'am.
Sir.
Well, it seems you've
had quite the night.
First you book yourself on
the BBC without consulting me,
McKenzie, or anyone in
the press department.
You sanction the arrest of
a foreign national whose only
apparent wrongdoing seems
to be catching a ride home?
And then you get yourself
pulled over by the police for
speeding in a car that isn't yours.
Yes. I backed the arrest of Yan Wanglei.
Now I realise the police were
looking in the wrong place
but there was a major security threat.
At the time it seemed
like the right decision.
It wasn't your decision to make.
Well, honestly, I was concerned
if you or the PM had to make
a call on China, you would buckle.
Really?
Isaac, you're a clever lad.
You've seen the reaction to Newsnight.
You know where this is going.
I've spoken to the PM.
Sorry, no, I don't know
where this is going.
You sat on TV and said you were
in favour of racial profiling.
What?
There's no other option.
I didn't say it.
You did. I was watching and I heard you.
Rowan, you know what's happening here.
They're hacking my interviews
and changing my words.
- Maybe it's not China, but
- You're not listening to me.
People heard it.
Now it's real.
Welcome to the nightmare
that is Correction, Isaac.
Now, our enemies fake
things that we can't deny.
Proof is impossible.
Denial without proof is pointless.
And, worst of all,
if we do ever prove it
or deny it we are fucked.
Why?
You know why. We're as
guilty of it as they are!
You heard those Intelligence spods.
If Correction unravels
Then Counter Terrorism, the courts,
the Justice Department,
all unravels with it,
across the whole world.
And it is worse in democracies
because we can't muzzle our
judges or our media like China
or Russia, or whoever the hell did this.
Home Secretary, I'm not apologising
for something I didn't say.
This has gone way beyond an apology.
You want me to resign.
McKenzie reckons it plays
better if we make the first move.
You're sacking me.
We won't forget this.
Right? You just You
need to just spend a
A little time in purgatory. That's all.
- Until you get
- My second chance.
It's nothing personal.
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
I didn't know. The whole time
I thought I was getting updates.
You're not the only one.
And DS Flynn, did anyone see
Not here, Detective.
Not now.
What have you got for me, ma'am?
The first thing you need to do
is hand over all phones and comms.
You'll be issued replacements
as soon as we can
guarantee they're secure.
Ma'am.
I do have something for you.
We'll talk.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Finally! Is this what time you finish?
Why are you here?
I called you.
I need to sleep over.
You said I could come
stay any time, so
Look, Abigail, this is
This is a bad time, OK?
I can't choose when Mum
and Dad go on a city break.
What, and you can't
be in the house alone?
I won't sleep.
You weren't sleeping here.
I was waiting up for you.
Are you making tea?
I couldn't find any oat milk.
If you don't have oat
milk, I'll do without.
The milk, I mean, not tea.
I'll have tea.
I've got tons I need
to talk to you about.
I'm starting a podcast.
Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?
Don't worry. I'll sleep now you're here.
It's been like this since
the burglary, which is weird
cos that happened in the
daytime and I wasn't even home.
The only way I can get to
sleep by myself these days
is when I vape weed,
but then I just wake up at three
in the morning with anxiety.
Is this whisky?
What did you just say?
I vape weed?
Sorry, are you going to arrest me?
What burglary?
The burglary.
I thought Dad would've told you.
When was this?
I don't know. Months ago.
You were burgled months
ago and nobody told me?
I'm a police detective.
Well, Dad probably
didn't want to bother you.
We all know how busy you are.
What did they take?
Not a lot. They turned
the whole place over
but they only took
my iPad, Mum's laptop
- Where are you going?
- I just
Ah, I'll be back soon.
Just get some sleep.
Wait. Did they get an alarm?
After the burglary,
did Dad get an alarm?
Yes.
- What's the code?
- My birthday.
You're going to have to
tell me the numbers, Abigail.
Isaac Turner has been
sacked from his role as
Home Office Security Minister,
following comments he made
during a BBC interview
about racial profiling.
The truth is, racial profiling
is what makes Xanda
the most effective security
system in the world.
Ah, could you, erm
Could you turn it off?
- Huh?
- Just turn it off, please.
saying this is the case
but if, say
- No, no, no. I
- Muslim men between the ages of
- 17 and 35 were the most likely to
- Don't worry. It's fine.
Yes, thank you.
What's wrong with
a system that factors that in?
Minister, are you suggesting
the programme uses
racial bias deliberately?
Here, or you want to go back?
Back in time, if you could.
I think you are right.
I'm sorry?
You have to protect people.
Are you going to resign
as MP, Mr Turner?
Why should your Muslim
constituents vote for you?
Mr Turner, why won't you respond
to the love-child allegations
made by Victoria Bello?
There are Black Lives Matter
protesters out there.
- I don't think
- Outside my house,
protesting against my husband,
who, last time I saw him, was black.
I'm still black, Simmy.
Why did you say those things?
Where are you going?
I asked you a question.
Did someone put a gun to your head?
Where's my laptop?
Where's your laptop?!
I've been waiting to speak to
you since 11 o'clock last night.
Yes. I need it.
I know there are things
you have to say, Isaac.
I've sat through enough party
conferences watching you clapping
like a fucking seal for
ministers you don't like,
for policies you don't truly believe in,
government stances that don't
always reflect who you are,
who we are.
But racial fucking profiling?
I can't do this now.
You can't talk to your wife?
When I've spent all night, all morning,
wondering what the hell is
going on, worrying for you,
telling Ruby everything's OK,
that the people outside
don't want to hurt us,
trying, unsuccessfully by the way,
to keep Harrison away from the TV?
Yeah, that's right.
So if you can't talk to me,
then perhaps you'd at least
like to explain to our children
why their daddy's being called a racist.
I certainly can't.
- I didn't.
- What?
Say those things.
What does that mean?
You promised you'd explain
to me when you got home.
I said I'd explain when I can!
Well, if not now, then when?
In case you haven't noticed, Isaac,
you've just lost your job
in government. It's over.
No, it isn't!
If Frank Napier's behind this,
you can't blame me for
wondering if you are too.
Steady the fuck on.
And it wouldn't be the first
time Frank Napier sacrificed
British life for the sake of Correction,
and it wouldn't be the first
time you failed to stop him!
- That is enough!
- Hannah Roberts was
an enemy of the British State.
Welcome to the nightmare
that is Correction, Isaac.
Our enemies fake things
which we can't deny.
Proof is impossible. Denial
without proof is pointless.
And, worst of all, if we
do ever prove it or deny it
- we are fucked.
- Why?
You know why.
We're as guilty of it as they are!
