01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Torben Jensen stole a process

for the creation of biofuels.

Redback?

Could be the information

Alexander Kutiev withheld.

Got this from across the river.

It wasn't a b*mb.

It was a biofuels attack.

Torben's a wannabe arms dealer.

You're either a sh*t spy or in on it.

Which is it?

I had you on a short list of one.

Your dad said you weren't up to it.

You're my boss because our boss

sees some game in that choice.

I'm not giving it up, so get on board

or put in for a transfer.

When you're ready, we'll tell them,

but if we do that, we need to know

for certain I'm really your father.

I'll call Dr. Hassan.

See how she reacts to hyoscine.

You know, the side effects

are seizures and heart attacks.

Small price, Beatrice.

I don't care if you trust me or not

'cause I know the truth.

How about I inject you with this

and then we find out for sure?

In our line of work,

trusting people costs lives.

We're not there yet.

Get off me! No! Don't even touch me!

You're making a big mistake. Big.

f*ck all of you! I'll tell my dad.

You've had enough, babe.

Is she all right?

Hello?

It's Adam Cornwell.

Sorry to bother you at this hour.

How can I help?

Well, it's rather delicate

and I probably shouldn't be asking

after you carried the can yesterday.

But I need a favour.

Holly?

Hey. Your dad sent me.

My dad? One in three.

Here. Come here.

Have we met?

Yeah, yesterday.

I was working with Adam.

Shh! We don't talk about him.

Come on. Let's go over here.

Rough night?

I don't know you. Do I know you?

Yeah.

Here we are. Let's get in the car.

All right. What are you doing?

Whoa. Stop it. What are you doing?

What?

He's gonna hate me.

No. No, he's worried about you.

Come on. Here.

Oh, God. There we are.

All right?

Please don't be sick in the car.

Coffee and a Lion bar

and I'll be fine.

I've told Zac Clark

you're not to be called to heal

every time Number 10 whistles.

Where are you up to with Redback?

Well, find whoever's trying to buy

the BF 100 process

and then we've got a trail to Adam.

Keep me in the loop.

Come on!

Excellent work.

All right, don't ram it, yeah.

It just It needs coaching a bit.

All right.

Yeah. Exactly.

Thanks.

Have you got any developments

on the VX residue?

- Our Russian friend.

- Oleg Adamov.

Exactly.

We were expecting feedback

two days ago.

Yeah. I'll I'll-I'll chase, yeah.

All right.

Well, briefing in my office

once some caffeine hits your system.

I could get some more, if it's cold.

No, I'm good. Thanks.

Um Holly

I was so sorry

to hear about your mum.

Thank you.

Such a shock.

And you were looking after her,

weren't you?

Morning.

I see you two have,

um, introduced yourselves.

Well, we did meet last night briefly.

I'm sorry for landing on you

like this and for

Was I sick on your carpet?

Hm, tiny bit.

- Oh, God, I

- Don't worry.

We were glad

you felt able to come to us.

You're welcome

to stay for the rest of the day.

Tonight, as well.

A bit of a packed schedule.

I've got a cabinet meeting

and then the live-show debate.

You should call your friends.

Let them know you're safe.

I didn't say anything to anyone

about you.

I know I was a right mess last night

but honestly, I didn't. I wouldn't.

I didn't imagine that you would.

All this uncertainty with the whole

dad thing on top of everything else.

If you don't mind,

I think I'll go and lie down.

You think she's OK?

She decorated the en suite

with projectile vomit.

I don't think she is OK, Adam.

Right.

Hi.

You've been busy.

Yeah, well, I had a brief window

between babysitting the PM

5and wiping down his daughter.

How messy was it?

Yeah?

Uh, yeah, all right.

I'll be right down.

Katrine Poulsen's here.

Apparently, it's urgent.

So, DSIS have intercepted chatter

about a credible threat

to your Prime Minister.

Source?

A compromised troll farm.

But also intel

from one of our assets.

So, you'll need me

in this investigation.

Right, well, let's not get ahead

of ourselves. What have you got?

Well, we had an asset

embedded with a screw. See?

This man here.

He's a regular visitor to Copenhagen.

He joined the weekend Nazis.

Shaun Graham.

Listen.

They promised us the swamp

would get drained,

but now we're flooded with Africans.

At least the Poles were white.

Katrine, there's 100 of him

in every town. They're all mouth.

But this guy's thing

was aim for prime ministers,

heads of states.

And?

And Adam Cornwell

was on top of his list.

- Shaun Graham?

- Yeah.

I'll look into it.

If that's all,

then I need to get on.

Yeah, and he used the word "Redback."

What?

Redback.

You heard it before?

So, what's the deal?

- Hello?

- Wait there.

Guys

Have you said

the word Redback in front of Katrine?

Of course not.

The word "Redback."

Never used it in front of Katrine

or anybody else.

Nor me.

She knows about it.

Give me everything you have

on Shaun Graham.

Hmm. He's been active for years,

so you must have some intel on him.

I'm asking you.

What is Redback?

We don't know.

Come on! For a spook,

you're a really bad liar.

It's some kind of terror threat,

isn't it?

And if Torben's involved

Tell me about Shaun Graham.

Well He worked in private security

and he attached himself to far-right

groups in Denmark and London.

He has no kids, but he joined

some fathers' rights organisations.

OK. Thanks for the intel.

We'll get in touch.

Hey, don't treat me

like the sandwich boy!

OK. Go ahead.

You can't walk or you

Wha Sorry, Shaun. Sorry, mate.

f*ck. Uh

You can't walk all over us

like we're a piece

Like we're a piece of sh*t

in the pavement.

Sorry, mate.

You can't

I've lost my thread.

Forget it. You're not ready.

No, I-I-I am. I am.

It's just nerves is all.

Nerves, yeah?

Yeah.

You, too?

Our man on the inside

has got jitters.

And now you.

You're tough.

Get out.

I made a mistake with you.

No, you didn't.

Mate, come on.

What kept you going after Helmand?

When you were de-mobbed.

When you When you couldn't sleep

for the nightmares.

When you lost

your best mate in the blast.

Archie did.

My boy.

Sorry, mate.

And what did Cornwell promise?

Give us our rights as fathers.

He lied to your face.

He might as well have ripped Archie

out of your arms.

Even when you went to him.

To his surgery.

Calling me mate!

He calls you mate.

Two minutes later,

he's calling security.

I just wanted him to listen!

He didn't give a sh*t.

I'm not your f*cking mate, Cornwell.

You don't get

to throw me out like I'm nothing!

I'm coming for you!

It's cleaner if I keep the line

that it's nobody's business

but our own.

It's live radio.

The SNP won't press their advantage?

I could sidestep that.

Well, you underestimate Isla Robson.

Holly is in no way relevant

to the referendum.

A troubled young Scottish woman

who may or may not be your daughter?

The girl you haven't been

honest with the public about.

Meanwhile, the press assume

a predictable penchant

for a woman half your age.

- Look, I know this is hard for you.

- Don't make me the problem.

- Can we talk about this?

- Not right now, no.

We'll only arrive

at the same cul-de-sac.

Well, I'd like to try.

We can talk this through with Irene

at next week's session.

There's someone who'll pull

your head out of your backside.

How long has it been going on?

Mrs. Cornwell?

Are you going to divorce?

Will you be standing

by the Prime Minister?

Tell them if they ignore

the confiscation order

required by Section 168

of the Proceeds of Crime Act

OK, I'll be going with Adam

to Irene at 3:30.

Put that in the diary.

Shunt my four o'clock

on to tomorrow.

Kelly, let me speak to him.

Two minutes.

All right, all right.

But, please, come on. Tell Archie.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll see him

next week, all right.

In a f*cking contact centre,

where you can all watch me!

Stone-cold b*tch.

What did you expect?

OK.

Change of plans.

All right, so Shaun Graham

was regularly in Copenhagen,

but most recently

he's attached himself to this lot.

Big men in tights.

Not exactly a prescribed group.

Adam Cornwell ran up against them

when he was Home Secretary.

His family's bill?

Skewed against dads,

according to the Brain's Trust here.

Here. Look.

That's him.

And he's been using

the term "Redback?"

Yeah, according to the Danes.

That puts him at the top

of your potential buyers' list.

But what's his connection

to Oleg Adamov?

Torben crosses Adamov and then sells

the BF 100 to Shauny boy.

Not unless he's got a backer.

Shaun poses as a buyer,

offs Torben, steals the process?

Does he have the nous for that?

Why don't we have a file on him?

I'm going to go

to Shaun Graham's last address.

Take Marcus.

Yeah, I'll be doing that.

That's the one. Back entrance

to the therapist's office.

Cornwell's on his way.

It was all planned.

Radio station. Man on the inside.

Once clean shot you said.

That option came with risk.

This, it's an open goal.

Adapt to survive.

Cornwell screwed you

good and proper.

You're gonna be a hero, Nige.

If anything happens

I want a bench.

A couple of hours from now

we're eating ice cream in Margate.

But if

you know?

A bench,

with my name on it.

So Archie knows

I wasn't just piss in the wind.

He knows that already, mate.

There's your chance.

Do him proud.

- Hello?

- Hi.

What are you doing?

- Put that down!

- You're jeopardising op security!

I'm not an idiot.

I wasn't followed here.

You're still not authorised.

No, but I need to know

if that guy made contact with Torben.

Oh, look.

- See? Daddy was in the military.

- Yeah, that figures.

Shaun Graham tried to join the

Paras, but failed the psychometrics.

So, I see you managed to scrape

some intel off the back of mine.

This way. Quite an operation, right?

It comes with the top job, I suppose.

Yes, ma'am.

So this is the way.

Ooh! Look. We've got a reader.

Fourth-rate, Heidegger.

Well, you're the philosophy expert.

Oh, no. No, I had to drop my degree.

Why? Because you

were looking after your sister?

That must have been tough.

Excellent.

Soft skills, Beatrice. Well done.

Got it.

We're in.

How do you manage it?

Well, luckily,

Irene had a cancellation.

I mean, to have

everything on your terms.

You said you'd only talk

about Holly here.

You click your fingers

and we all jump.

That's hardly fair.

So far, so predictable.

Irene Ambrose.

He's in therapy?

He's not in therapy.

He's hacked

into Etta Cornwell's diary.

What the f*ck?

- Who are you calling?

- The PM's close protection unit.

He's hacked them too, or what?

Might be a rogue officer.

You think the whole world

should go along with your ideas.

This bloody referendum's

a prime example.

You know, I nicknamed him Polaris

when we first met.

The Northstar.

It was our private joke.

I thought we were here

to talk about Holly.

Polaris doesn't rise or set,

but it remains

virtually in the exact same position,

whilst all the other stars

just circle around it.

I don't need a pregnant woman along.

Shaun Graham is an MO.

He won't be a lone actor.

We'll be there in eight minutes.

She's not answering.

What is she up to?

- Try her again.

- Right.

Hang on. We're an equal partnership.

Always have been.

Is that your perception?

Look, I know things aren't ideal.

We decided a long time ago

not to have children

and now with Holly

No.

Don't make me the one that can't cope

with Holly in our lives.

"I want to make this right."

Is what he keeps saying.

Well, you should start

by taking some responsibility,

instead of shifting it on to me.

That's below the belt, Etta.

Have we made

radio contact with Beatrice yet?

Still nothing.

Zoom in.

Where's she going?

Who the hell is that?

Who's with her?

Katrine Poulsen.

We always knew

there was a strong possibility

that Holly could be mine.

Well, I've known shorter odds.

So, now we

take the paternity test and

we adjust to the new reality,

whatever that looks like.

We We go public

after the referendum.

We're honest. We explain.

Yes, that may cause some upheaval

at home and in public life.

Honesty?

That is a joke, Adam.

You can't even

be honest with yourself.

When we were younger,

you used to let me in.

But this whole public veneer

It's crept into our relationship.

Even here in therapy, you're hiding.

What feelings are present for you

when you hear that, Adam?

Actually, I feel

pretty bloody annoyed.

"Pretty bloody annoyed."

That is what you wanted, isn't it?

To provoke me?

Yeah. That's exactly why I came here.

Adam, why might Etta

need a reaction from you?

Given the expense

of these sessions, Irene,

I'm relying on you to tell me

why I'm being attacked

by both of you.

I'm being attacked

for trying to do right by Etta,

by Holly and by the country.

You see, it's always been

just Etta and me.

I have no idea what Holly

might mean for our marriage

or even if I'm capable

of being a father.

Then say you're scared, Adam.

I am trying, Etta,

against all the uncertainty,

I am trying my level best

to hold everything together.

Why is that

not good enough for you?

I'm not asking you to.

It isn't enough

to smile and pat me on the hand!

I told you to stay in the car.

What if they're rogue?

I'm your backup right now.

I don't need platitudes from you.

I'm not a child!

This is private space.

Don't move.

I lost my boy.

I'm sorry.

No, you're not f*cking sorry!

I just wanted you to listen!

Drop the g*n!

Exit the room, Prime Minister.

- Get them out!

- Quickly, sir.

Is this Redback?

Do you know Torben Jensen?

What's your name?

Nigel.

Nigel what?

Braynor.

Where's Shaun, Nigel?

Are there other attacks planned?

A chemical attack? The BF 100.

What does this mean?

What does it mean?

My boy

I can get a message to your son,

if you talk to me.

He's going.

You know where Shaun Graham is?

What do you know

about Oleg Adamov?

- Nigel?

- We're losing him.

Nigel, come on!

He's going.

Nigel!

Unharmed.

Unit 2 arriving in Kelton Road.

f*ck!

Roger that. What's the criticality?

Two fatalities.

Who?

Both CPOs.

Three. g*nman

died en route to the hospital.

- Where's the PM now?

- On his way back to Downing Street.

Right. Get Beatrice and Poulsen in.

Don't bring me problems, Jim.

Stop whining and deal with it!

Is it where we agreed?

This is cold f*cking feet.

If you're bailing out on me,

I'm gonna come over and rip your

f*cking face off!

You're in no state

to go on the radio.

Violence won't change our values.

Oh, my God.

This is ridiculous.

I'm gonna have them

bring the car round.

Adam, you nearly died!

This Shaun Graham must have found

Nigel at the Fathers' Rights group

and groomed him.

Yeah. But how did those two

get into Etta Cornwell's diary?

William wants you both there now.

Don't get used to it.

Prime Minister's CPE's

been stood down.

So, the decision not to call that in?

Well, Shaun Graham hacked the CPUs.

We need to focus

on the fact that he's still at large.

Shaun Graham hacking the CPU

doesn't mean they were compromised.

We prevented an assassination.

The man behind it is still out there.

How did Nigel Braynor

get into that building?

Declan, what have we got

on this therapist?

Uh, that the appointment was made

by Adam Cornwell's assistant

this morning.

They didn't put that together

in a few hours.

Ah, data from Shaun Graham's

laptop and phone.

OK.

This is insane.

Get them to pull the plug.

I'm doing my best. You talk to him.

- Adam, I'm coming with you.

- There's no need.

You're my husband.

We simply tell the public

what happened.

I'll look as if I'm scared.

- I think you'd be justified.

- Adam?

I can't give the advantage.

Isla, how are you?

I just heard.

Jesus, why the hell are you here?

You know me, Isla.

Not easily intimidated.

So, it's not a ruse

to get out of beating me?

Bad joke. We should postpone.

Absolutely not.

No one here knows about it.

Carrie hasn't been told.

We carry on as normal.

Carrie, how are you?

Glad you could make it,

Prime Minister.

We heard you weren't well.

No, I'm perfectly fine.

We'll have an informal intro

to kick off and then we'll dig in.

Brave PM debates SNP

following attempted assassination.

You could have

the most amazing night of your life

but tomorrow

every front cover is his.

Fully aware of that.

If I were you, I would pull out.

Advise what you like, Etta.

I'm not daft.

The last phone call

from Shaun Graham's mobile

was to this number.

Fifteen minutes

after the assassination attempt.

- Who did he call?

- On it.

Phone records.

Have we got Nigel Braynor's?

Checking that.

What about Shaun Graham's parents?

Yes, thank you Miss Poulsen.

I think we have that covered.

PM's been on the move.

Where the hell is he?

London City Radio.

For the debate?

He doesn't believe in leaving his ego

at the door, does he?

You're listening

to London City Radio.

Good evening.

"We live in interesting times"

has become the byline of our age

and arguments

over Scottish independence

rage amongst a polarised population.

Our Prime Minister stands accused

of gambling

on the future of the union

with the Scottish independence

referendum.

I'm live tonight with

the Prime Minister, Adam Cornwell.

Good evening, Carrie.

And the leader of the Scottish

National Party, Isla Robson.

Evening.

Prime Minister, you've been vocal

about the political significance

of the union,

but tonight I'd love to hear more

about what's driving you,

what losing Scotland

would really mean to you.

OK, Nigel Braynor

made two different phone calls today.

These two.

OK, that last one

was just before he died.

OK, Shaun Graham called

a phone registered to a Jim Cryton.

Got an address here.

Get a strike team

out to Cryton's now.

Code 4, 42 Manly Road. Jim Cryton.

What have you got on this Jim Cryton?

Isla, given your family history,

this debate must spark

some strong emotion of you.

Yes, my father, who,

of course, died earlier this year,

was the second SNP MP

to serve at Westminster.

He campaigned his whole life

for independence and was

I'm interested to hear

if the union has the same personal

significance for you, Prime Minister.

Well, I, um

I feel that

I lost my boy.

No, you're not f*cking sorry!

Don't move!

I'm sorry. I just

We seem to have just Uh

We've lost the Prime Minster

just for a moment.

Um, if I can turn back to you, Isla.

Your father was a fierce advocate

for Scottish business.

Won't independence

bring financial insecurity?

Absolutely not.

Got a ping from a cell tower

on Shaun Graham's phone.

- Where?

- West London.

What is that?

- Is that

- London City Radio.

sh*t.

Get the CTSFO out there.

Secure the studio

and the surroundings.

I need the location

on Warwick CPU now.

Get internal CCTV up, please.

Extract to Echo. PM's in studio.

Here it is.

That's the east staircase.

Here's a CPO.

Who is that?

Security guard.

Right. Listen up, the guy

that Shaun Graham phoned, Jim Cryton,

he's the security guard

at London City Radio.

Get that image back up.

The guard.

Closer.

All units, east corridor.

Target approaching.

Code red. I repeat code red.

Exits to lock down.

Freeze! Don't move!

- What? Is that us? Get it back!

- Have we still got radio contact?

Oh, what the f*ck?

Look out, Prime Minister.

Drop your weapon!

Who fired?

- Somebody talk to me!

- Urgent assistance required.

- Seal all exits.

- Alert all ambulance crews.

Nobody leave the building, all right?

Who fired? Who fired?

Levi. Looks like someone

was trying to make a point.

He's pretending

it's business as usual.

He's agreed

to doing the debate today.

Adam doesn't respond well

to being handled.

When you ignore our advice,

you imperil the entire nation.

Can I buy you a drink, then?

Could you put me through

to the editor?

She's definitely the girl

the PM was snapped with.

A call came in for you.

Your Scottish friend wants to meet.

What were his exact words?

Uh, "Tell Beatrice

meeting up would be prudent,

as the underground

is running smoothly."

I've been brought

into the inner sanctum.

We need to use this now.

Get our country back.

I'm being told we have

some important footage to watch.

What's going on?

Could we get

a monitor for the PM?

I want backup out there right now!

No agent gets left in the breeze.

This could cost us the union.
