Spooks s06e07 Episode Script

We can't trust her, Adam.
We've got to treat her like a mole.
You seduced her.
We used her.
You fired a shot to make Adam believe Ana was dead.
Sounds like a solid plan.
This morning the man whose life we saved assured me Iran was years from full nuclear capability.
Turns out it's more like hours.
Israel will escalate the standoff.
America will be forced into a pre-emptive strike.
In Iranian hands, they can be translated into the coding for a nuclear trigger and Iran becomes a nuclear power.
That man has the trigger for a nuclear warhead in his bag! They changed! Stop that Jeep! In the past few hours, hopes have been renewed for peace in the Persian Gulf, following reports of a binding trade agreement between the US and Iran.
The ink has been put to paper on a new bilateral agreement.
Signifying the confidence of all three governments, tonight's special broadcast of "Ask The Question" will give a studio audience the chance to interrogate the panel and gauge whether this deal ushers in a new dawn in Western-Iranian relations.
Stephen Wright.
A press release states that Iran and the US have been working towards this deal, behind the scenes, under British government stewardship.
Reports that Iran had been developing biological weapons meant moves towards strong diplomatic relations in the regional charter for stability had stumbled.
- What time does the plane leave? - Transit team arrive after the transmission.
I hear Vancouver's pretty this time of year.
with Iran, Washington and London all seeking agreement on peace in the region.
Tonight's broadcast OK.
I've got a phone in this pocket here.
Is that all right? - Mm-hm.
- Thanks.
Julia Lucas.
in particular for the Foreign Secretary Ruth Chambers.
The headlines for you now.
New plans for health care in Afternoon, Julia.
Where have you been? I got a lead from an asset.
Red herring.
Are we on schedule? Here comes our hack.
- Late, of course.
- Yeah, well, as long as he writes the story.
Thought you were writing it for him.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen Tommy, can we just check the panel Check done.
John, camera two.
Philip, camera one.
Hurry, please.
All clear.
Are we OK on H2? Thank you for coming at such short notice.
Could those of you asking questions please raise your hand? Thank you.
Three minutes.
I'm bringing in the guests.
Would you give our guests for this evening a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen? Wide shot on the panel, please.
Let me just see each of the panelists.
Close-up.
Yeah, just jib up a little.
Perfect.
Stand by to roll.
How is Bakhshi looking? For someone announcing the political agreement of the decade, pretty chilled.
He'd better play ball.
OK, everyone, ten seconds.
That's five, four, three Roll VT.
Good evening, and welcome to a unique international "Ask The Question".
In 1863, Abraham Lincoln wrote, "Peace does not appear so distant as it did.
"I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; "and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.
" I doubt many of us thought that peace between Iran and the West was close - Something's up with Kaplan.
- What is it? Our panellists have been instrumental in developing this agreement.
The Foreign Secretary Ruth Chambers.
Harry, check out seat B3.
Special aide to the Ambassador of the United States, Robert Hogan.
I'm checking the list.
Caroline Bell, office manager from Crawley, no political history.
And the Iranian Special Consul, Darius Bakhshi.
This evening, an audience selected by the BBC Seat C10.
have a unique opportunity to ask our guests, "Is this the start of a new era of collaboration "between the Islamic and the Western worlds?" Robert Stiers from Birmingham.
No connection with the first woman.
I'm going to hand you over to the panel, so that they can introduce the agreement.
- As British Foreign Secretary - A7.
Jason Trinder from Glasgow.
No connection with the other two.
What's Kaplan playing at? - This has been a sensitive process - There must be a connection.
Malcolm, face-match them with our records.
across the region, ensuring lasting peace between our countries.
Thank you.
The first question, please.
- Jason Trinder from Glasgow.
- Does Iran have a nuclear bomb? Harry, something's not right here.
- Harry.
- He's not who he says he is.
Don't move! Do not cut transmission! Stay on air! Stay on air! Stay still.
- Please don't shoot! - Answer the question.
Does Iran have a nuclear bomb? Do not cut transmission.
If you cut transmission, I will shoot her.
- You look pale and interesting.
- I just left an all-night session of the JIC.
- And? - The decision was unanimous.
The triggers were smuggled to Iran yesterday.
In the Persian desert, a scientist is at this moment connecting them to nuclear missiles.
For decades we've had the ultimate deterrent.
Now they have it too.
When Israel finds out, they'll see it as a declaration of war.
Israel must not find out.
Do you suggest I lie to my closest ally? That's your second-closest ally, and yes.
The time for aggression is over, Bob.
We have to move to appeasement.
How the hell do we do that? Oh, come on.
You're in early.
Yesterday I gave Iran the power to destroy the planet, so I found sleep a stranger.
Then just when things couldn't get any worse, we run out of coffee filters.
- Managed to find some blotting paper.
- Where's Harry? With Hogan, trying to stop Iran talking about their new toy.
- If they announce that, they won't survive.
- Let's hope they realise that.
With Darius Bakhshi at the helm, I somewhat doubt it.
- Are you bitter about his wife? - Thanks for reminding me.
You don't always have impeccable taste.
I don't know.
I have my moments.
So, I'm not the only one losing sleep.
How are we? Fine.
Just don't ask for coffee.
- How was Hogan? - We think we have something to offer Iran.
I need to speak to Bakhshi, off the record.
Arrange it for me.
He's coming towards you now.
Got him.
Oh.
Look at the memorial.
Lose the muscle.
We need to talk alone.
Thanks! Apologies for disturbing your run.
You try anything with me, and the consequences will be severe.
Actually, we have a deal to offer you.
Why can't it wait until working hours? By then, you might have Israeli Harpoon Cruise missiles exploding in Tehran.
And trust me when I tell you, you don't want that.
We made them.
That would be a grave mistake of Israel.
As it would be for you to issue any press release about your nuclear capability.
The people who need to know know.
- So when do our presidents meet? - You know it can't work like that.
Ashamed to be seen talking to us? I've spoken to a couple of friends in Washington.
My president wants a way out of this.
But it has to be without 90º/º of his administration knowing what's going on.
There are people in the Pentagon who, if they found out what you've got, would press the red button.
We have to work behind the scenes.
So, what are you offering? The UK and the US will propose a full retreat from your waters and a cessation of military operations against you.
We'll make Iran a primary trade partner and restore full diplomatic relations with immediate effect.
And what do you want from us? To denounce Hezbollah and the insurgents within Iraq.
And to keep your nuclear capability quiet.
Brave new world.
The creation of a peace process so real that Israel and the warlords would have to play ball.
They'd be international pariahs if they didn't.
- No one will ask about nuclear weapons.
- No one would believe it.
We say we've been working on a deal.
That only the top level of governments on both sides knew anything about it.
We make it real by making it public.
But we need to make it public fast.
How do you propose doing that? Television.
- Is he biting? - Still talking.
Do we trust him to deliver? Some Iranian hardliner's gonna want to boast about their nuclear capacity, so we don't have much choice.
Unless you're planning on a one-man mission to Tehran by teatime.
Don't put it past me.
We put out a one-hour BBC special tonight, announcing the seeds of a peace agreement, and a process for the signing of the deal.
Who's in the programme? A high-level American government official, a senior British Cabinet minister - And? - And you.
Whatever has passed between us, none of us want to go down in history as men who caused world war.
You're holding all the aces.
The question is, how are you gonna play? Put the guns down! - Please, don't shoot her.
- Shut up! - Hands on heads! - Do not cut transmission or we shoot.
We're hearing reports of an armed siege at the BBC.
In the studio for "Ask The Question", two men and a woman armed with handguns Hold your position! Repeat, hold your position! Keep filming! Point the camera towards me! I want the bodyguards to leave.
Leave, or I pull the trigger.
- We have to send them out.
- I will not give in to terrorist intimidation.
I will not see a member of the public killed for my sake.
If he kills a woman on live TV, it'll destroy the agreement.
Get Bakhshi to calm down.
I'm ordering my detail to leave.
Why are they doing this? I'll order my men to leave if you let some people go.
You don't need them all.
- You're not in charge here.
- Nonetheless, that is my offer.
This section only.
Stand.
Hands on heads.
To the door! Go! - Hands on heads.
Out the door.
Go! - Keep your hands on your heads! - Go! - Move! Can you let that woman go? She's old.
- Shut up and get out! - That's pathetic.
For that, you can replace her.
Keep moving.
Come on, quickly.
Come on.
Move.
Now get your men out of here.
And yours too.
Please, Special Consul.
No.
Three seconds, and then she dies.
- No! No! - Three, two - Adam, stop him.
- Please don't shoot.
Now! Or they both die! All right.
- And you! Tell 'em to lock the door! - Lock the door, please.
Now we can begin.
The BBC website's close to collapsing.
Sit on your seats.
Quickly.
Cameras on me.
Read this.
Camera on him.
Tonight, we tackle the question of whether Islamic power is taking over the planet and to what extent Western governments are timidly letting it happen.
What lies behind today's agreement? Is there more than meets the eye? Ask him the first question.
How far progressed is Iran's uranium-enrichment programme? Camera on him, and tell the truth.
We have begun a uranium-enrichment programme.
- And have you completed it? - Enough to run a nuclear power station.
Enough to power a nuclear missile? To power a nuclear missile requires an infinitely more refined uranium.
And do you have that? No.
Next question.
The Director General of the BBC has agreed to the transmission.
Apparently keen to sex up a tired format.
The PM wants the Foreign Secretary to represent the Government.
- The Americans? - Hogan's sent the only person he trusts.
Himself.
- And Bakhshi? - We've heard nothing.
It's been nearly three hours, you know.
Yes, thanks to my grammar school education, I am able to tell the time myself.
We'll go ahead as if he's agreed.
We need to vet a small studio audience.
No political affiliations.
- Shia or Sunni Muslim? - Pacifist Sunni poets, preferably.
All three politicians will have bodyguards.
Ros and I will be in the audience.
My presence will encourage Bakhshi to stick to the script.
I want control over the transmission.
You can cut the studio feed from here.
- The BBC'll love that.
- Don't tell them.
- What about the press? - I'm meeting with Ben Kaplan.
Let's keep this to ourselves.
I don't want anyone outside to know what's going on.
Well, that was a text I didn't expect.
Is it business or pleasure? The answer's right behind you.
Morning.
You're asking me to take part in a piece of shameless government propaganda.
I'm offering you an inside story.
- Why d'you need me? - Honest reporting, untinged by cynicism.
You need a pro-Iranian piece to please the mullahs.
We want them to get the credit they deserve.
I'm disgusted by this attempt to compromise my journalistic integrity.
You'll find a way to live with it.
I want something in return.
- What's this? - Something I'm working on.
Know her? No, but I can ask around.
- You said no, I suppose? - Very funny.
- What you doing after? - Post-op debrief.
Then after that? Thank you.
My government is ready to listen to your proposal.
There is, however, a condition.
There are six permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
We would like there to be a seventh.
You gotta be kidding me.
You seriously think I'm gonna get that through? It is a necessary sign of faith in us.
It is impossible.
- It's cloud-cuckoo-land.
- Bob.
Forget it, Harry.
We're wasting our time here.
This broadcast is not gonna happen.
Where do you want to meet? For one so concerned about our association, you're increasingly lax.
I don't have time for protocol.
- Thanks to you, Iran's now fully nuclear.
- Don't belittle your role in this success.
It'll only be a success if the endgame's played out correctly.
- Is that why you're here? - The US is offering an olive branch.
They're scared.
They'll offer Iran a place at the table if they shut up about the triggers.
America has returned to the negotiating table? It's not a negotiation, it's a direct deal.
They've capitulated, as Yalta wanted.
- So we just need Iran to accept the offer? - Which may not be easy.
Bakhshi's asking for too much.
Well, use what else you have on him.
Isn't there a reason he might play ball sitting in a safe house in London right now? Ros.
You recognise her? - No.
Why? - It's something that Kaplan's working on.
I'll give it to Connie.
She can run it through the system.
Ros.
- They want these downstairs.
- How long are you going to keep me here? I want to talk to my family.
Answer me.
Answer me! - Off you go.
- Yeah, yeah.
- What will you do with Ana? - Nothing until I avert global catastrophe.
- Why? - We could kill two birds with one stone.
Encourage Bakhshi to play ball.
- Deal with the Ana problem forever.
- Offer her as a reward? Give her a new life that only Bakhshi would know about.
Tehran would think she was dead.
Adam would.
She stays safe and in Bakhshi's reach.
Could just be the carrot we need.
You enjoy casting yourself in the role of victim, don't you? You could get 15 years for what you did.
- Do you think I wanted to kill Adam? - I have no idea what you wanted.
My husband is a jealous man.
He lost his mind when he found out about us.
He threatened to expose me and hand me over to Iranian intelligence.
D'you know what they do to adulteresses in Tehran? To Western whores? That was justification to poison your lover? What do you care about it, anyway? Or maybe you're jealous too.
Can I get you anything? Yes.
But you have to go out.
You're kidding? We have to find a way round this.
Mr Pearce, please don't waste my time.
I have already told you my terms.
- What if I were to make you another offer? - What? A plane leaves tonight for Vancouver.
Your wife could be on it with a new identity.
Later, in a different world, in a more peaceful world, who knows? You could even be with her.
I can make that happen with one phone call.
But only if tonight's television programme goes ahead, only if you make that happen.
- Do another test.
- It's not wrong.
I know.
D'you know whose it is? My husband's.
He wants a child so much.
Let's keep it between ourselves for now.
- Harry.
- Vancouver, tonight.
What is it? You ever been to Canada? - Ana's flight to Canada, it leaves when? - Assuming the broadcast goes ahead, ten.
Thank you.
You will keep Carter out of the way? He'll be with you in the studio.
I'm sure you'll enjoy his company.
If Tehran know she's alive Only a handful of people in my unit have any idea of her whereabouts.
Even Adam thinks she's dead.
Please, Harry, make sure she gets that plane.
Bakhshi has agreed.
- A green light.
Issue the press release.
- This is the audience.
We vetted them all.
Adam, you're Stephen Wright, an ex-soldier from Reigate.
A Tory voter.
- Where's Ros? - No idea.
- Who can I tell? - No one.
My mother? My sister? Think of the benefits.
A new life, a new start.
One day your husband can come back to you and your child.
Where are you going? To make sure your husband keeps his side of the bargain.
Good luck.
I'm on my way.
She's ready to go.
- No hitches? - She's pregnant.
Good God.
Adam must not find out.
Let's get her out of there, and quickly.
Yeah.
I'm here to make sure the transit happens smoothly.
Have you packed? Not exactly the luggage of a diplomat's wife.
tonight's special broadcast of "Ask The Question" will give a studio audience the chance to interrogate the panel and gauge whether this deal ushers in a new dawn in Western-Iranian relations.
- What time does the plane leave? - Transit team arrive after the transmission.
I hear Vancouver's pretty this time of year.
The Police Federation say government targets lead to ludicrous Next question.
Foreign Secretary, how long have the talks with Iran been going on? Just over six months.
Is that right? Think very carefully.
Yes.
- You were at those talks, were you? - Some of them, yes.
- Where were they? - In the Balearic Islands, and in London.
Harry, he knows something.
- Next question.
- Mr Hogan, what has America agreed to? In principle, the US is prepared to offer Iran a withdrawal from the Gulf region.
- That is correct.
- I didn't ask you.
Why has America suddenly agreed to make peace with Iran? The United States has always wanted peace in the region.
The Iranians are now able to give us the assurances we need concerning terrorism, Hezbollah You're lying.
Tell 'em the real reason.
Why are they doing deals? How far down the uranium-enrichment process are you? As I said, we have an extended uranium-enrichment programme.
What does a bomb with sufficiently enriched uranium require to be detonated? - I don't understand.
- What do you need apart from uranium? - I am not a scientist.
- You need triggers, don't you? Maybe, yes, I And do you have those? - He knows.
Cut transmission.
- If you do, he'll kill someone.
- We'll have British blood on our hands.
- Harry, cut transmission.
What happened two days ago? - What's going on? - They've cut the broadcast.
Why are the great superpowers of the world bowing to your every whim? Why? What? They've cut the feed.
Call them and tell them to put it back on.
One minute, or I kill someone.
- I don't have a phone.
- He could use mine.
- Hello.
- It's Ml5.
Pretend I'm Technical Services.
They want the feed restored.
You have one minute, or they say they'll kill someone.
Tell them we're working on it but we need longer.
They're working on it but they need longer.
What did you mean, they lied to us? Quiet! Someone told him the feed was cut.
- Find out who they've got on the outside.
- They came in under false names.
Their real names, Paul Mills, Sharon Carson, Carl Reid.
They were BNP.
They left three years ago to form a splinter group, Whites Against Islam.
Their false identities were given security clearance by our services.
- Meaning? - The security services helped them.
D'you recognise her? Harry, security on the door.
I recognised him from somewhere.
Who was talking? Was somebody on the phone? - Search 'em.
- Everybody stand! Take out your phones.
I have security on CCTV.
I know him.
His name's John Richardson, Ml5.
He's one of us.
- What's he doing with BBC security? - Tracking him on all CCTV.
I'll bring up his file.
What's in that pocket? Empty your pockets! All phones in the bag! Raise your hands, empty your pockets.
Empty them.
No, you can keep that.
Just your phones in the bag.
- Take the veil off.
- Please.
- You've got no right.
- Quiet.
I said take it off.
Give me that phone, please.
Put all your phones in the bag now.
Everyone back in their seat.
I've lost contact.
- The cameramen in the director's gallery.
- It's all closed circuit.
- Oh, my God.
- What? - What? What? - It's OK.
- Jo.
- Kaplan texted.
He's still in the studio.
- Ask him if Adam knows he's there.
- Doing it now.
- What's going on? - It's OK.
Call them.
Tell them they've got one more minute.
- You have one more minute.
- You need to delay.
Would you please tell us what all this is about? Yesterday, this man smuggled nuclear triggers out of London.
Iran is now capable of launching a nuclear attack on the West.
- You expect any of us to believe that? - As a key agent of the CIA, Bob, I expect you to.
You tried to stop it, and you failed.
Richardson left Television Centre and turned up Wood Lane to a row of houses.
I'm getting the studio recon van over there now.
- Where is he? - Richardson's been deep undercover.
- Doing what? - No one's seen him for three years.
How the hell did he know about tonight? - Jo.
- He's texted back.
- Ros and Adam don't know he's there.
- Tell him to make contact with them now.
Think.
Where have you seen the guy from security before? I can't remember.
Where is he? He's in a ground-floor flat.
Restore the television feed from the studio to that flat only.
Fifteen seconds.
We can transmit a satellite signal to the van and cable it to the box outside the flat.
We can send a high-frequency satellite signal here to Thames House.
- How long d'you need? - Two minutes.
He won't give us two minutes.
Time's up.
Is it broadcasting? - Call me if that changes.
It's still not on.
- They're working on it.
- You flick a switch! - I'll call them again! - Please! Give them more time! - No.
I'm gonna send 'em a message.
No, wait! - Get out of my way! - I'm ex-army.
They're liars, but you do that and you lose me and half the country, who agree with you.
Then you call 'em, and you tell 'em to put that feed right back on.
- Hello, this is Stephen Wright.
- Hello, Adam.
He's gonna shoot one of the audience, a Muslim.
I'm creating a false feed to his accomplice.
What he's Stop pissing us around and flick the switch.
Flick the switch! Do it now! Hello.
This is the Head of Technical Services.
When an emergency cut in transmission occurs, there are security procedures that need to be cleared.
You're talking bollocks.
I'll kill this man! Get out of my way, soldier, or I'll put a bullet in you too.
- Would you do that to one of your own? - Out of my way.
You've got ten seconds to get that feed back on.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! We've done it.
I don't believe you.
We have.
Connection restored.
Yeah.
You sure? Stick that camera on me.
Can you see me now? OK.
Just in time.
Get him in here now.
Proceed.
Armed police! Don't move! Suspect contained and in transit.
What we know is three armed people stormed the studio, intent on disrupting the agreement Two men and a woman held guns to the heads of the studio audience, and demanded that the transmission should not be cut.
How long do you think that will take? Right.
Same security guard.
anti-Islamic group.
British and American representatives - Find out if they're OK.
- Trust us.
Do you know what my husband must have risked to appear on this programme? You can't even guarantee his safety! - Ana, we're doing the best we can.
- Like you always do.
fears for the safety of the hostages.
But to be frank, we don't know what's going on in that studio at the moment.
Camera on the Iranian Special Consul, and this time the truth.
How developed is your nuclear programme? Our programme is fully developed.
Enough for a nuclear weapon? Yes.
And the triggers? We smuggled them out of Britain yesterday.
And that's why the Americans came to you with this agreement? Yes.
So this whole deal has been a sham? It appears you've achieved what you wanted.
World war, probably.
Three years ago, you disappeared off the intelligence radar.
Where have you been? Come on, John.
You've won.
The whole world is watching this.
At least fill me in.
There's a secret organisation called Yalta.
I've never heard of them.
They're embedded right across European intelligence.
They want Iran to be a global nuclear power, a bulwark against America.
It's liberalism gone crazy, an insane mindset that thinks McDonald's is as great a human rights violator as bin Laden.
Three years ago, I infiltrated Yalta.
I thought it was a dead lead, nothing happening.
But recently they've woken up.
They've got someone on the inside who knows everything you're doing.
They're pushing this bogus peace deal, pushing Iran to the top table.
It had to be stopped.
This was the only way.
I don't trust anyone, Pearce, not newspaper editors, not politicians.
Not intelligence officials.
You could all be Yalta.
But I do trust Paul Mills and his crazy racist gang of thugs.
I trust the British people and I trust what I see with my own eyes.
They intend this siege to continue.
This is of course now a crisis situation Alpha 2 in position.
to see how the situation will develop.
What is Yalta? Answer the question! Yalta is a secret organisation.
And they've got sources right inside the British intelligence services, haven't they? High up, from what I understand.
- What is all this about? - Keep your mouth shut! Harry, look at this.
Malcolm, can you zoom in? LX, lighting rig.
Are there ladders up to the lighting rig? - There's a ladder on the east wall.
- Text him.
- What does he say? - I'm a journalist, not an action hero.
We've got enough of those.
Give me that.
What have Yalta helped you do? Strategic political assistance, nothing more.
Such as helping you threaten to poison London's water supply? The truth, Bakhshi.
Yes.
- You're Islamic terrorists.
- We are a democratically elected body.
You intend to bring Sharia law to the West.
The Koran insists upon Jihad against all non-believers.
The Koran was written in reaction to terrible oppression.
You intend to take over the planet.
We know you are.
Do you seriously expect us to trust these lunatics with a nuclear weapon? We won't stand by and let you sign away all our power to these freaks.
He's a murderer.
Put the camera on him.
You have admitted to conspiring to kill millions of British people.
Now, our government may not care about that.
But I do.
I am here on behalf of the British people to bring you to justice.
What does he mean by that? - For God's sake! Let's talk about this.
- No, please! No, this is justice, the only way these people understand.
Please.
I am a Sunni Iraqi.
I am no friend of Iran, but this is crazy what you're doing.
Crazy? You.
Tell me one thing.
What we've been saying, does it sound like the truth to you? You see? You have no friends here.
So why don't you sit down? Kaplan's on the rig.
Come on, Adam.
What d'you want him to do? This makes us no better than them.
Please stop.
I'm taking a leaf out of the Al-Qaida textbook.
He's not Al-Qaida, not Arab.
He's Iranian.
What has he got to do with Al-Qaida? It's all connected.
It is not connected.
- He wants you to drop the lights.
- I can overload the voltage.
- I don't know if they're in position.
- Text him.
What was that? - Let's get on with it.
- Please.
Don't do this.
- On behalf of the British government - You're not my government.
- Someone stop him! - Why should we stop him? You've lied to us.
Our government has lied to us.
This man is scum.
Go on, roll him over.
- Roll him over.
- You can't talk to people like that.
It's disrespectful.
- Take your liberal conscience - Sit down and shut up.
- Sit down.
- Wait, listen, mate.
Wait, right? I'm I'm on your side here.
We've been set up by our government.
- You've treated us with utter contempt.
- That is no excuse to revert to mob rule.
We fight their wars.
We have immigrants taking our jobs.
We should know.
It's time we taught them not to ignore the British public.
Adam.
When can we drop it? Special Consul, on behalf of the British nation, I send your government a message that the period of appeasement is over.
We also can declare a holy war.
- Now.
- Now.
Ml5! Kill him, I kill you! What difference does it make? Put the gun down.
We can do a deal.
It's too late.
The whole world knows the truth.
I don't think so.
The ratings for the broadcast weren't quite as high as you might have hoped.
- What d'you mean? - We didn't reinstate the feed.
So whatever you do we'll cover it up.
No one'll ever know.
You've lost, Paul.
Then at least he can lose too.
Look out, look out, look out! It's all right.
It's all right, it's all right, sweetheart.
We don't know if he'll live.
The transit team are on their way.
- Don't tell her anything.
- OK.
- My husband? - He's fine.
Oh, thank you! Oh, thank you, thank you! OK, the transit team'll be here in 20 minutes.
OK.
We've had no word from the police or the intelligence services as to when it will end.
The latest from here is that the siege is continuing.
We have no word from the police We're just gonna give you some fluids.
Last year I was doing this story on racism in Southeast London.
I followed Paul Mills and his mates and this one guy We should talk about your article.
from derailing a major peace agreement - and your own role within that.
- You can't expect me to sit on this story.
Unless you're intent on unleashing World War III, yes, I do.
Well, thank you for your advice.
I'll think about it.
It's not advice, Ben.
Come with me.
Here's your photo back.
It drew a blank.
That's the guy, the friend of Mills.
You know the woman? Nothing came up.
Sorry.
Follow me.
- What's going on? - Debriefing.
Good evening.
Good evening, everyone.
I'd like to thank you on behalf of the British government for your bravery throughout this terrible ordeal.
The world outside does not yet know that the siege has ended and it cannot know, until we have agreed what happened here tonight.
I have a job offer for you.
You are all invited to become employees of Her Majesty's Intelligence Service.
You will return to your normal lives, but you'll remain in our employ until you die.
You will experience pressure, but no one must know what was said in here tonight.
There's a copy of the Official Secrets Act.
No one leaves this room until the contract and the Secrets Act have been agreed to.
We're in no rush, but there can be no refusals.
We're all spies now.
Andy, I'm just getting unofficial reports that the siege may be over.
The police are expected to hold a press conference.
I realise things didn't turn out as planned.
Not exactly.
No story, nothing on the photo, and, thank you, now I'm a spy.
- What photo? - Richardson and one of his contacts.
- Can I take a look? - Sure.
- D'you know her? - No.
Mills and his clan made regular contact with this thug, and he led me to her, but I can't get a thing on her.
- Can I keep this? - Yeah.
Thank you.
A gun to the head of an Iranian diplomat live on TV.
It's being beamed around the world.
We'll be lucky to salvage any kind of peace after this.
- How did Mills know about the broadcast? - John Richardson infiltrated Yalta.
How did Yalta know? Richardson says Yalta have someone inside Ml5.
How is she? How's Ana? She'll be fine.
Adam Before you came to the studio where were you? You lied to me.
- You were out of control - Where is she? - Where is she? - She's safe.
Yalta infiltrated the security services.
How do you know she's safe? Only myself and key members of my team have any idea of her whereabouts.
Isn't there a reason he might play ball sitting in a safe house in London? If Tehran want her dead, they won't be able to find her.
The transit's on its way.
Ana will be out of the country in an hour, and I forbid you both from getting involved.
She's at 26 Fournier Street.
I'm coming with you.
- The siege is still continuing - Why does it say the siege is not over? It's protocol.
Don't worry about it.
- Ros.
- Is everything OK? - Fine, the transit team are on their way.
- We're coming over.
- Why? - Backup.
Anything strange, call me.
The car's here.
Oh, perfect.
Have you any idea what they'll do to her, a female adulterer with a Western spy? - Maybe they don't know where she is.
- They've known everything about her.
No! This is just ridiculous! - Did you cancel the transit team? - No, why? - What is it? - Someone did.
They gave a code name.
Ros! What is it? Yeah? Transit team's arrived.
They cancelled it! Get her out of there! Ana, wait! One of the studio guests, the Iranian Special Consul Darius Bakhshi, has been shot, and he's been taken to hospital where his condition is stable.
However, the effect this may have, when there should have been diplomatic progress between the West and Iran, is anybody's guess.
We can now go to a statement from the Foreign Secretary.
Tonight's appalling events must not hold us back on the path to peace in the Middle East.
Iran, the UK and the US have been working for months to create this agreement.
We will not be put off by terrorists - Why didn't you tell me? - We didn't think we could trust you.
- You trust me? - You were in love with her.
We thought I was not in love with her! Don't bullshit me.
She killed someone because of me.
I was responsible.
Didn't you take those responsibilities seriously? - Whose idea was it to send her away? - I have no idea.
Oh, come on, Ros! I know you too well.
You arranged the whole thing.
Why? OK.
I saw an opportunity to get Bakhshi on side, and deal with a residual problem.
- Is that what she was, a residual problem? - Yeah, that's exactly what she was.
God, she really had you wrapped around her little finger, with her big beautiful brown eyes like a bloody deer? I was not in love with her.
I did not leave you for her.
- You didn't leave me.
This is not about us.
- Isn't it? What happened with us was a mistake.
- Why did it feel like I was betraying you? - I did not encourage that.
You're a spy.
You can deceive yourself, like everyone else.
Yeah? And who are you deceiving? Ros Ana was work, someone safe.
If we step over the line, there's nothing to protect us.
I know.
We know too much about each other.
It's not safe.
I know.
In 24 hours, America will launch air strikes against Iran.
There's a war coming, and the Americans are trying to kill us before we can stop it.
Ros! If you value your life, you have to kill that man.
I need you to pull me out of the UK.
- That won't be possible.
- It's absolutely bloody necessary.
Adam, we've got a very serious problem.
Oh, for God's sake! You lay a finger on me, I'll kill you.
I'm sorry about your officer.
