03x04 - A Prayer for My Daughter

[bunniefuu]

- Just give me the camera.
- What are you? Six? Five?

We've been pretending
nothing's going on.

I'm with Will. You know that.

- What's Adam Carter doing here?
- To resolve the Tom problem.

I need you to forget what's happened.
I need you on my side.

Six would quite like
to get Adam Carter back.

- Isn't the loan period up?
- No. It's over when I say it is.

- What about the agent? What happened?
- I married her.

- Right.
- You'll meet her. She's gorgeous.

EVERYONE TALKS AT ONCE

Enough! We have to sort this out
before the start of the talks tomorrow.

Both delegations have until 4am

to agree my draft proposals
on the holy sites of Jerusalem.

If by then I don't

receive messages
from both delegations in my hotel

I shall go back to New York
and spend the week with my kids.

Brinkmanship -
Patricia's pretty good at that.

- She's not serious, though?
- Oh, she's serious.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Go on.

No, it's all right. We're just having a little
look at the pre-conference negotiations.

Yeah, wait a minute.

- WOMAN LAUGHS
- That's what she told me. Goodbye.

What? Oh, yeah, sorry.

A name for a legend?

Yeah, well, if she's young and sexy,
it's got to be Isobel.

- Who's Isobel?
- I've no idea what you're on about.

I know you, Adam. You always use
the names of girls you fancy for legends.

Why are you here?
This is off-limits to Ml6 at the moment.

Access all areas.

You're early. The peace talks don't start
till tomorrow. I could have you arrested.

I Iove it when you're forceful,

but wouldn't it look a bit silly
to have your own wife arrested?

Ah, the It-couple
of the British Security Services.

Patricia Norton.
Is there no stopping this woman?

Fiona.

And Adam,
looking as handsome as ever.

Will you guys never learn?

Just as you shouldn't bug the UN, you're
not supposed to listen in to these talks.

It's our job to be one step ahead.

Well, since you are both here,
what did you think of my ultimatum?

And don't say you weren't listening.

- Will it work?
- Oh, I hope so.

Cue big suicide b*mb
in Tel Aviv that ruins it all.

Nothing we can do about that.

Middle East peace talks
did always bring out the extremists.

Oh, I'm so sorry, excuse me.

If you're interested in extremists,
Adam, look into David Swift.

What, the newspaper proprietor?

And a fanatical Israeli group
called the November Committee.

- Why?
- We're trying to save the peace process.

They're trying to derail it.

I've got to get to my hotel
and await those phone calls.

Bye, darling Adam.

Take care of that beautiful wife.

I will.

Excuse me.

Where are we going?

This isn't the way to my hotel.

Where are we going?

Excuse me, can you hear me?

Help me! Stop the driver!

Help me! Help me!

Help me!

OK, Chris.

Your Hackney Central library card

and your Che Guevara key-ring.

How come you're the smart PhD
and I'm the activist?

Well, who's the financial genius?

Me.

So if Nicholas Ashworth
and the Palestine Freedom Campaign

are channelling funds to terror groups,
we'll need your genius to uncover it.

Speak of the devil.

Friends and relatives k*lled,
houses bulldozed,

a security fence, and you want to know
why the Palestinians are angry?

So angry they blow up innocent people.
And you support these t*rrorists.

No, no. I can understand
the heroism of their sacrifice.

A British MP who thinks that t*rrorists
who blow up children are heroes.

And that's why your campaign is prepared
to offer them more than moral support.

- That's outrageous.
- I'd like to move on to the peace talks.

- He doesn't want peace!
- Not your kind of peace.

How many kinds of peace are there?

Swift seems to be enjoying
taking on Ashworth.

We've got to make tracks.
Have you got your little toy?

Malcolm's improved the zoom
and the control sensitivity

so it can almost see around corners.
MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hey, you.
Listen, just let yourself in.

And I'll see you when I get back.

So Will's got a key now?

Well, yeah. He gave me one
for his place, so I just thought...

- You don't mind, do you?
- Why should I mind?

Until we value a Palestinian life
as highly as any other,

we in the West Bank will stand
accused of the most rank hypocrisy.

Unless we address their suffering,

it will not just be the Palestinian farmers
who reap a bitter harvest.

APPLAUSE

I think you'll agree that
was both shocking and inspiring.

Earlier tonight you may have seen
the less edifying spectacle

of my appearance on TV
with the owner of this newspaper.

ALL: Boo!

David Swift repeated the lie
peddled in his newspaper

that our campaign
supports suicide bombers.

I can tell you that I'll be asking
some questions in Parliament shortly

about his connections.

In the meantime, we're lucky
to have here tonight Catherine Townsend,

who made the film we've just seen.
Catherine...

The day that I finished my film,

a volunteer from this campaign

was escorting Palestinian farmers
to their fields.

He was shot
by the Israeli Defence Forces.

I've been accessing the computer
of the Palestine Freedom Campaign

and going through
the accounts data... base...

- Is something wrong, Harry?
- Catherine.

I thought she was in Tel Aviv.

You know her?

Catherine's my daughter.

- Her surname...
- It's her mother's maiden name.

She took it after the divorce.

You didn't know she was mixed up
in the Palestine Freedom Campaign?

No. You could always rely on Catherine
to find the bird with the broken wing.

Emotion over intellect -
suppose you have to expect that.

Brother was the one
with the brains.

Shall we crack on?

Danny?

Right, um...

the man with Ashworth
is Richard Hollins,

a Campaign volunteer.

What's going on there?

If it's what we think it is, it looks like
Ashworth's got himself a boyfriend.

It won't play well
with his mates in the Middle East.

Can we check it out, some snaps? Do you
know any good photographers, Zoe?

Adam, Special Branch
are on the secure line.

Ruth, where's that information on
extremist Israeli groups I asked you for?

I was working on it.

- What about the November Committee?
- What's going on?

Some lunatics have kidnapped
the UN's Chief Negotiator.

Patricia Norton?

Didn't return to her hotel,
mobile's been sabotaged.

The peace talks have been suspended.

Zoe, when's your next meeting
with Nicholas Ashworth?

- Tomorrow.
- Make it today.

I need to know what he meant
about David Swift's connections.

The newspaper guy?
What's David Swift got to do with it?

Just before she was abducted,

Patricia warned me about him
and the November Committee.

- See what Ashworth knows.
- I'll say I've got a problem with my thesis.

Take one of Swift's newspapers
and see if that gets a reaction.

OK.

- Oh, Nicholas.
- Laura. Hi.

Have you got a minute?

Well, I need to get back to Parliament.
The peace talks have been suspended.

Why?

I'm going to find out.
Can we walk and talk?

My supervisor's being aggressive about
the research proposal you helped with.

Could you look at it and tell me
if he's being reasonable or not?

OK, hand it over.

You read that rubbish?

Ah, no. Always best to know
how your enemy thinks.

I should sue David Swift

for some of the lies he's allowed them
to print about the Campaign.

Our volunteers
have been k*lled there.

I have information from good Middle East
sources about some of his connections.

Really, what sort of connections?

Bad connections.

We'll talk more tomorrow.
I have to go now.

"Bad connections."
I can find out more tomorrow.

Time's running out for Patricia.

Special Branch are searching.
What d'you want to do?

I need to know if Swift and
the November Committee are involved.

I need access to Swift's office.

All right, but I know nothing about this.

Danny, I'll need you as wingman tonight.

Take Zoe.

We can take Zoe off Ashworth, but I want
a presence in the Campaign office.

OK, Zoe?

INAUDIBLE

The guard bought
the unfaithful girlfriend story.

He's only given me a minute,
so keep an eye on him.

He's holding the £50 note
you gave him up to the light.

Come on. Come on!

OK, Adam, you've gotta get out.

- Just a couple more seconds.
- Well, you haven't got them!

Come on. Come on.

Found this in her desk.

You wouldn't believe
the text messages.

ZOE: Close call.

If it brings us closer to finding Patricia,
it'll be worth it.

You like her a lot, don't you?

If there were more like her, we wouldn't
need so many peace conferences.

Let's see what those
"bad connections" really are.

This contains the hard disk from David
Swift's office. I need it de-encrypted.

- Excellent.
- Quick as one of your crosswords.

Pass the results to Ruth.

As you know, a United Nations
diplomat has been kidnapped.

I believe an extremist pro-Israeli group,
the November Committee, is responsible.

The West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Occupied by the Israelis
since the Six Day w*r of 1967.

But Israel's most stunning victory

has been the source
of her greatest conflicts since.

Solution - a viable state for the Palestinian
population in exchange for peace.

A fading possibility that Patricia
was trying to rescue at the talks.

The November Committee
was set up to combat any such solution.

And David Swift?

An extreme neo-conservative
with friends in high places.

They see Israel as the key battleground
in global conflict.

For Swift and his friends
in Israel and Washington,

radical and previously
unthinkable solutions are required.

And what are these solutions?

Greater Israel. Annexe the West Bank
and force the Palestinians out.

Don't we call that ethnic cleansing?

We might. They call it "defending global
security against a hostile civilisation",

and anybody who stands in the way
of that is a traitor and persecutor.

After Patricia's tip-off about Swift,
we went to his office last night

and did a little investigating.

This belongs to Swift.

The Hebrew engraving means
"Security through a Greater Israel".

The slogan of the November Committee.

They hate Patricia Norton not just because
she advocates the two-state solution,

but because she insists that any future
Palestinian state has to be viable.

- MOBILE PHONE RINGS
- Yeah?

OK. They found the car
that took Patricia Norton.

- Where?
- Near Grays in Essex.

Let's get on it now.

Quick word in my office, Danny.

Bad business.

Adam knew Patricia well.

Always best to keep personal feelings
out of these matters.

How's it going on the Campaign?

Trying to account for where all the money
comes from and where it's going.

-very laborious.
- Good. And my daughter?

Have you seen her?

Bit of a rising star
in the world of documentaries.

She lived out in Tel Aviv.

She's making another film
following volunteers to the West Bank.

That should have the crowds
flocking to the cinemas[!]

I want you to talk to her.

- And wear a wire.
- You're going to listen in?

Adam's busy with Patricia Norton
and I'm taking over the operation.

Right.

You may need to wander off-piste a little
with her in case she gets suspicious.

But be careful, she can be tricky.

- Tricky?
- Argumentative, irrational, moody.

Hates to be told she's wrong.

- I see. Well, I'll tread... carefully.
- Thanks, Danny.

Enjoy the film?

You're...

Chris.
From the Palestine Freedom Campaign.

- Right.
- I thought that was great.

Scorsese's so overrated.

You're wrong. He's a genius.

- I'm wrong?
- Going on anywhere?

Why?

I was going to buy you a beer
and put you straight about Scorsese.

- I would like to see you try.
- Great.

Where do you want to go?

That does not mean yes.

Oh, why not?

So you're going out
to the West Bank soon?

Yeah.

I'm disappointed you didn't chose me
as one of your subjects.

Well, I only tolerate being told I'm wrong
when it comes to other people's films.

- My mum's worried about me going.
- Well, she should be.

The Israeli Defence Forces can interpret
the orange jackets of peace activists

as meaning, "Interfering foreign
busy-body, please sh**t me."

Don't your parents worry about what
you do? You must get in the line of fire.

My mum does.

And your dad?

My dad's dead.

Ah.

Or... he might as well be anyway.

Families, eh?

Yeah.

Look, I should go.

- Right.
- Thanks for the drink.

See you at the Campaign office.

- Yeah, that would be nice. Bye.
- Bye.

They're... They're on their way in.

I'm so sorry, Adam.

It's such a bloody stupid waste.

Forensics are saying that she...
she shot herself.

She went into a field
and blasted her own head off?

Patricia didn't know
one end of a g*n from the other.

I said wander off-piste,
not start a bloody avalanche!

Right. The suicide note
they found with Patricia's body

blamed the pressure
of an extra-marital affair.

Her idea of infidelity was taking
a coffee break during negotiations!

We've broken the encryption code
for Swift's computer files.

He's part of the November Committee
and there's a list.

What sort?

Targets' habits, finances,
sexual preferences.

And next to each name is a code.

"Nablus" means "blackmail".

"Bethlehem" appears to be "threaten".

"Hebron" - "surveillance".

- And "Jenin".
- Patricia was "Jenin"?

Swift communicates by e-mail
with an agent called Phoebe.

The agent uses a laptop
from various phone lines.

The last message was from this location.

- The Palestine Freedom Campaign's HQ.
- We're not alone watching him.

Ashworth has alleged he'd be
the target of Israeli assassination.

Which was rightly discounted
as vanity and paranoia.

He's high
on the November Committee list.

What's Ashworth's destination?

- "Hebron"...
- Well, it's only surveillance then.

...Backslash "Jenin".

So when they've found out
all they need to know, they'll k*ll him.

- They could put a b*mb in there.
- Not their MO.

We don't know their MO.

After what they did to Patricia,
I'd say we do know -

nasty, grubby and sadistic.

Ashworth's not the only one at risk.
It's everybody in the Campaign.

- I should warn Ashworth.
- Not yet.

- Well, when?
- Not yet.

- How many others are marked "Jenin"?
- 15.

Very high profile, all linked in some way
to the peace process.

At least half are Jewish
and perceived as traitors.

Warn them and make discreet
arrangements for their protection.

What are you saying? Use Ashworth
as bait to draw the agent out?

We've already got you two in place
where they might strike next.

- Come on, Zoe, live dangerously.
- But I'm not the one in danger, am I?

If we don't stop the November Committee,
we can forget peace in the Middle East.

Let me do this my way, Harry.

OK, Adam, but no rash moves.

Until we know what we're doing,
we keep Swift at arm's length.

Your driver looked like
he needed a tea break. Hop in.

A spook! You might have chosen
a more conventional appointment.

I'm "unconventional spook".

You'll grow out of it.
What do you want?

- I know.
- What do you mean?

I know.

What is this?
Are you trying to scare me?

Patricia Norton was m*rder*d.

- Are you insane?
- To stop her from reaching a settlement.

The Security Services are meant
to be the subject of conspiracy theories,

not the peddlers of them.

Except in this case there is a conspiracy.

To sabotage any peace talks

that contemplate the possibility
of a Palestinian state.

You're dreaming if you think
a Palestinian state can achieve peace.

Nobody wants peace more than I do.

Peace for a Greater Israel
and death to your opponents?

You don't achieve peace
through appeasement.

I'm amazed you people haven't learned
that lesson. Now, would you mind?

A word of advice.

This is far too big
for a middle-ranking spook.

You're out of your depth.

Go.

I said no rash moves! How much
more clearly do I have to spell it out?!

It wasn't a rash move.
If their agent in the Campaign

so much as twitches as a result
of my conversation with Swift,

we can destroy both him
and the November Committee.

I know what you're doing,
but it's bloody dangerous

and if anybody gets hurt,
there will be consequences.

You forget -
somebody already has been hurt.

"And my poor fool is hang'd."

- What?
- We need to watch over him.

Seeing his daughter like that
was a big shock.

But the last thing we need right now
is for Harry to go all King Lear on us.

Ruth, listen in on everybody in that
Campaign. Mobiles and e-mails too.

- What are you doing here?
- God, you made me jump.

What are you doing here?

- I asked first.
- I haven't got the internet at home.

- Some nights I let myself in to use it.
- Searching for porn?

Do I look like I'd collude in the
objectification of women's bodies?

- In the sense that you look like a guy, yes.
- What are you doing?

Oh, I'm just making some notes
for some sh**t tomorrow.

How's the film going?

Pretty well. Some of the volunteers
going out are quite naive.

They've got no idea
how dangerous it is out there.

I'm sorry about running
off like that the other night.

I just really hate
talking about my father.

I can understand that.

He's just a bully.
He's always belittled what I've done.

I thought you hated talking about him.

You're right. I owe you a drink.

Yes, you do.

Now?

Well, unless you wanted to...

Nah, the girls can wait.

Those the ones you wanted? Ashworth
getting touchy-feely with his boyfriend?

Well, nice to know Ml5 doesn't
hold a man's sexuality against him.

We just like to know what's going on.
For the files.

- Which ones do you want printed?
- All of them.

Kinky.

We won't put these on the files.

Oh, they're Iovely.

You're Iovely.

You know I don't want
anybody else, don't you?

- Oh, good.
- Ever.

Which is why I think
we should get married.

So you can do the wedding photos?

Can I... Can I keep these?

Is this another interrogation?

I've told you I'm unbreakable.

- There's not a technique in the world...
- Come on!

This is so simple, Zoe.

All you have to say is yes... or no.

- Look...
- What is it, huh?

A sophisticated spy like you,
suddenly tongue-tied?

You're not doing very well
at controlling those responses, are you?

I Iove you.

And?

- And...
- And?

- And, um...
- Oh, this is... so simple.

Yeah.

No evidence suggesting
the Palestine Freedom Campaign

are channelling funds to t*rror1st groups.

I've been through their computers

and there's no sign of any
November Committee agents either.

We should warn Ashworth.
We might not like his politics,

but they're not a threat.

- I can't be in there indefinitely.
- Don't be too sure.

Adam, listen to this phone intercept.

'What's so important
you have to meet me? '

'Information about Nicholas Ashworth.'

It's Catherine.

Harry's daughter?
What the hell's she doing talking to Swift?

- 'What kind of information?
- I really can't discuss it on the phone.

'I'll get back to you.

'Wait until you hear from me.'

She's the agent
for the November Committee.

Who authorised the intercept
on Catherine's mobile?

- I did.
- Why didn't you consult me?

- It was an operational decision.
- It applied to everyone in the Campaign.

Everyone's not my daughter.

I went to the offices the other night
and Catherine was there too.

That's conclusive.
Prepare the electrodes, Ruth[!]

She was using a laptop.

Which is how
Swift communicates with his agent.

I know you're upset, Harry,
but there's something else.

Something else!
That's your bloody middle name!

- Shouting at Ruth won't help.
- It's OK.

After we got the intercept, we ran a more
detailed background check on Catherine.

- Background?! I'm her background!
- Yes, you are.

But we've found out that while she was
in Tel Aviv, she was seeing this man.

His name is Gilad Lasker and he's
a member of Israeli military intelligence.

Catherine could be a double agent
working undercover for Swift.

He may be the person who recruited her
for the November Committee.

Then I have to protect her.

Harry, you need to take a step back.

Yes, Adam, that will help.

Been doing that for 20 years with her
and look where it's got me.

Our evidence, while strong, is not
conclusive. Danny, stay close to her.

Find out more about her time
in Israel and Gilad Lasker.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Catherine...
- Yeah?

You've been to Israel
as well as the West Bank, right?

Yep.

What's Tel Aviv like? A friend of mine's
out there and I might drop in on him.

I lived in Tel Aviv.
I was really happy there.

Oh. Must've been difficult to leave.

- What?
- If you were so happy there.

Well, there were personal reasons.

Relationship?

What part of "personal"
don't you understand?

Sorry. I just... Sorry.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

- I've got to run. I'll see you later.
- Sure.

'I have a visual on the target.

'There's a complication.'

- What's the problem?
- 'We've got company.'

Oh, no, don't do this.

So... what is it that made you
need to meet me so urgently?

- I have to speak to her.
- It's no time for family reunions.

- You wanted conclusive...
- It can't be her. You don't know her.

And you do?

She's in danger.

At the moment, Harry,
you're the biggest danger to her.

- I can't let anyone hurt her.
- Nobody will hurt her.

I promise.

Catherine's swimming in very dangerous
waters. I think we should reel her in.

- Reel her in?
- Turn her. Get her out of this mess.

You forget, that's an argument
I've used myself on countless occasions.

It's an excuse for putting the lives
of others at risk for our own ends.

- Our ends are good ones.
- Are they?

Ml5 motto: Preserve the status quo.
It's hardly liberté, égalité, fraternité, is it?

- Hey, don't knock the status quo.
- I have to protect her.

Underneath all the attitude,
she's still a naive and foolish girl.

She's not, actually.

However she's involved in this,
she's not a teenager any more.

In fact, she's really funny

and smart.

Stay on her, Danny.
Choose the best time to turn her.

Are you asking me on a date?

No, I wouldn't call it a date.

Oh, what would you call it?

OK, what I would really like
is to take a look at your footage.

OK, that sounded...

You said some of the volunteers
were naive about what to expect out there.

Not all of them.

I want to know what it'll be like when I go,
get a feel for what volunteers do.

- You got a video player?
- Yeah.

I could bring round
the Palestinian film I made.

That would be great.
Except my video chews up tapes.

Ah.

OK, well, come round to my flat.
I'll give you the address later.

You sure?

As long as you bring a bottle of wine.

I bought a bottle of bubbly
to celebrate our whirlwind engagement.

Excellent.

- When's the happy day?
- Ah, Zoe, I see you've met my brother.

- Andy, meet Zoe. Be nice.
- Hi. I'm the black sheep of the family.

A pain in the arse, more like.

And you are a dark horse.

I was choosing the right time
when I was going to tell you.

Better late than never.
I'll get the glasses.

- I thought you were leaving.
- I can't normally afford Bollinger.

You can't normally afford a bus pass.

So, Zoe, what do you do?

- She's...
- I'm in insurance.

That must be a white-knuckle,
roller-coaster ride of a career.

It has its moments.

To the happy couple!

Yeah!

Where's the one about the siege
at the Church of the Nativity?

- Who's this?
- That's my mum.

And this?

Uh... that's Gil.

- Unusual name.
- Israeli.

They're not all bad.

They usually are in uniform.

All Israelis do military service.

Except those who refuse.
Besides, he is no conscript.

- It's no big deal.
- No big deal?

He might have given the order
to sh**t volunteers or bulldoze houses.

Shin Bet
deal with the Occupied Territories.

Gil was in Military Intelligence.

You were seeing someone
from Israeli Military Intelligence?

He was the reason I left Tel Aviv.

Forgive me for being suspicious
of someone

who had a relationship
with a man from Israeli Intelligence.

Oh, God!

Look...

I'm not an Israeli spy.

I'd hardly have Gil's photo
on display if I was.

All right...

You've got to swear not to tell anybody
what I'm about to tell you.

OK.

Before I left Tel Aviv,
Gil told me about this group

of far-right Israeli extremists
called the November Committee.

They've got friends
in very high places

and that's what I'm really
trying to make my film about.

Never heard of them.

Well, that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Gil hated them and...

he told me that one of their most
important leaders lives over here.

- Who?
- It doesn't matter.

I called this guy and I arranged to meet
him for lunch with a hidden camera.

I told him that I was a convert,

that I could get him lots of information
on Nicholas Ashworth,

I could even get him footage
of the volunteers.

He could have you k*lled!

It's a risk worth taking
for a documentary like that, isn't it?

No.

What did this guy say?

He said that he was interested.
He was a bit too interested actually.

I had to remove his hand
from my leg a few times.

And somebody as powerful as him
couldn't find out everything about you?

Do you think
that they might come for me tonight?

Maybe, maybe not tonight, but...

Because I was thinking that perhaps
I should have somebody to stay with me.

- Catherine, I'm...
- Stay with me.

I can't.

Stay.

MOBILE PHONE BLEEPS

- Yeah?
- Danny, it's Ruth.

Hey.

Our newspaper stringer's
been offered some photos.

And?

The photos are of Nicholas Ashworth
and his male Iover.

So?

Well, they sent the kid packing,
but not before finding out that he...

obtained them
from his photographer brother.

- Whose the brother, Ruth?
- Zoe's boyfriend. Will North.

Looks like Will gave
the photos to his brother to sell.

OK, do nothing, speak to nobody.

I'll deal with this.

Listen, this is really important.
I need protection for Catherine.

- Protection? But she's...
- No, no, she isn't.

Tell Harry she is definitely
not a November Committee agent.

Oh, Danny, that's fantastic news.

I'm coming in to talk to Harry, but sort
someone out to keep an eye on the house.

Good morning.

- I've got to go.
- Oh... No...

No. No, no, no. I've really got to go.

I'll see you later.

BANG ON DOOR

Chris?

No!

No! No!

- We know who you are.
- WHIMPERS

Shh. You listening?

Stop with your stupid undercover games,

because we know everything about you,
Catherine.

I'm not going to k*ll you now

because you're going to give a message
to your daddy.

"Back off'.

You got that?

- Yeah.
- Good.

Missing me already?

Hey, calm down. Calm down.
Look, just take deep breaths.

What's happened?

I'll be right there.

Control, this is Kestrel.
I need backup at Cub's Lair.

Catherine doesn't work for Swift?
She's just making a film?

That's all she's ever been, Harry -
a film maker.

Bloody stupid one, if she thinks she can
mess with the November Committee.

Swift could have one of his men k*ll her.

Then how did they know
she was my daughter?

- Right, you have to break cover.
- Break cover? Look, I don't think...

That's right, you don't think. Catherine
trusts you. You must now protect her.

If Catherine isn't the November Committee
agent, we're back to square one.

Not really.

What's Swift saying with this message?
"Back off, I'm too powerful for you."

He's given our tree a good shake,
but we can use that.

And now he'll be looking
for the bird to fly up.

We pull Danny out to make it look
like we removed our agent.

- Which will make Swift over-confident.
- Exactly. It will appear as if we've lost.

- It's the "Rumble in the Jungle" strategy.
- Is it?

Stay on the ropes
and let him lead us to their agent.

Why not just hit him now?

We need the November Committee
network. Swift will never give us that.

We pull Danny
and put Swift on 24-hour surveillance.

We can do better.
Get a tracking device on him.

Then move in whenever he deviates
from his normal pattern.

How?

Catherine's info
on the Swift libido is useful.

I have an idea, but it requires a woman
who is ruthless, immoral

and utterly lacking in human sympathy.

Not you, Ruth, terrifying weapon as you
may be. I have someone different in mind.

- Who?
- My wife.

This will get you into the launch
of the new Food and Drink Supplement.

And you are?

Karen Bailey, food critic and...

...sexual connoisseur.

OK, kitten. Let's go.

He's interested.

- How do you know?
- She touched her right ear.

If it was her left,
it would have meant "no chance".

He's going to buy her a drink.

What does that mean?

It means she's taking the piss.

He's hinting about sex.

You seem very relaxed about that.

I'm hoping that on one of these operations
I can finally get rid of her.

Yeah, course you are.

She's taking him upstairs.

Change cameras.

Hello, David.

How does it feel to have just kissed
goodbye to your beloved newspaper?

OK, let's get her out of there.

OK, Bravo Two. Call her
and give her a get-out clause.

Then get all the tapes numbered
and sent back to the grid.

How did he react
to your sudden departure?

Naturally very disappointed. Still,
no arguing with a child with meningitis.

Not jealous, are you?

Excuse me! I've just had to watch my wife
kissing a man

who described me
as a "middle-ranking spook".

- You were Ioving it.
- Was I really?

You can't even hide it.

Why, because I'm such a predictable,
typical male, right?

No. If you were so predictable or typical,
I wouldn't always come back to you.

You work for my father?

You can understand
why we were suspicious of you.

There was your relationship
with somebody from Israeli Intelligence

and then your meetings with Swift.

You work for my father?!

The November Committee
want to derail the peace...

You don't get it, do you?

You work out
I'm not a November Committee spy,

so you think, "I might as well
shag her now for good measure"?

- No! It wasn't like that.
- I trusted you.

I liked you.

I liked you as well.

Too much, unfortunately.

Oh, sure[!]

Look, please, please!

You work for my father!

It would bring you a whole world of pain
if I told him what we did, wouldn't it?

Catherine...

Seen Graham recently?

You remember your son?
The one with the brains, you always said.

- I just wanted him to do well.
- Isn't doing very well, is he?

No.

I don't know what you want from me?
Do you want absolution? I forgive you.

I'm a grown woman. I don't play
"blame the parents" any longer.

You said I might as well be dead.

I said...

- He was spying on me even then?
- Don't blame him.

- Oh, my God!
- I made him wear a wire.

I wanted to hear your voice.
It was the only way.

I wanted to show you this.

A file on me. Well, that makes sense.

I was proud of you.

You had a funny way of showing it.

- What's this?
- When you were a baby,

your mother was teaching that poem
to her A-level students.

"Once more the storm is howling

"And half hid under this cradle-hood
and coverlid

"My child sleeps on."

Dad.

Don't, Dad.

We'd better go. It's too windy.

Who else did you tell that your father
worked for British Intelligence?

Only Nicholas Ashworth.

Thanks, Danny.

Colin got Swift's diary from hacking
into his secretary's computer.

Meeting with city financiers
in half an hour.

Which he's cancelled,
pleading too much work.

So we'd expect him to stay in his office.
Our girl on reception...

- He's leaving.
- Move surveillance team into position.

It's our first anniversary tonight.

He thinks we're going to a restaurant.

We've sorted out the finances,
so he has a motive for suicide.

I'll do it in the Campaign offices.

Good. It's possible that Ml5 may still
be following me, so take precautions.

- What about the girl?
- You just worry about Ashworth.

- The boyfriend?!
- It's a terrible betrayal.

Well, this is a w*r
of civilisations for them.

That's how Swift knew everything.

Pillow talk from Ashworth
to the November Committee agent.

We'll tell Ashworth
and get him out of danger.

They're going to a restaurant tonight.
It's their anniversary.

- We could pull him in outside.
- OK, good.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Location of Target One?

Ashworth and his boyfriend
have gone to the Campaign offices.

- But they were to meet at the restaurant.
- I know.

- Anybody else in the Campaign?
- No.

I'm going to need backup.
Get Danny there right away.

I want to tell you about my sister.

- She was called Phoebe.
- Why are you doing this?

Everybody Ioved her. She was...

She was funny,

clever.

She had a great life ahead of her.

Then one day
she boarded a bus in Jerusalem...

...and two stops later
a Hamas suicide b*mber joined her.

Who are you?

Phoebe was k*lled
by the people you support.

Understand. Not support.

I'm sorry it's you, Nicholas.

Nobody will believe I committed suicide.

They will...

when I explain
you've been depressed recently.

Scared that a newspaper
might discover

your secret account
with funds from a Saudi businessman.

And how will you explain me?

- Don't come any nearer, Laura.
- It's over, Richard.

I'm an officer
of the British Security Services.

- What?
- Backup's arriving as we speak.

Sit down.

I'm truly sorry about your sister.

She was wearing a red skirt that day.

You know what. It can't just
go on and on, an eye for an eye.

Spare me the cliche -

making the whole world blind.

There are too many people
with stories of pain and suffering.

There has to be a peaceful solution.

There will be a peaceful solution.

When Arab murderers
are driven from Judea and Samaria.

Richard, cut him down.

No!

I'm sorry, Laura.

Zoe, down!

Stay there! Stay there!

You're Ml5!

Yeah. Hey, look on the bright side.
We just saved your life.

How did you get in here?

We've got your agent.

I've no idea
what you're talking about.

Your men are being rounded up
as we speak.

My boss is greatly looking forward

to talking to whoever it was
who threatened his daughter.

You can't touch me.

I thought you might say that.

And then he took me up to the hotel room.

And when I said I only...
I only wanted a drink...

he did this...

And then he tried to r*pe me!

We recreated the teeth marks
from the food you ate at the party.

We also have DNA and CCTV footage.

Grievous bodily harm with intent,

contrary to Section 18
of the Offences Against the Person Act.

And attempted r*pe. They're not charges
which enhance your reputation.

What do you want?

You lose your paper.

You leave the country.
It doesn't interest me where you go,

although I gather you're not welcome
in the country you claim to defend.

Maybe one of your tax havens.

It's a small price to pay for the m*rder
of a brilliant and principled woman,

you b*stard.

In a surprise announcement today,

media proprietor David Swift said
he is selling his flagship newspaper

to concentrate on US publications.

Citing falling sales
and a depressed market, Mr Swift said...

Gotcha.

Harry's just seen Catherine off.

Yeah.

You two got on well, didn't you?

Yeah, until she found out
who I really was.

Why did that make her so angry?

You didn't. Oh, Danny!

Zoe, I managed to save these
from being mauled by security.

They're from Will.

You know what, I've got something
to tell you anyway.

Will asked me to marry him...
And I said yeah.

- When, when?
- Last night.

Thanks, Malcolm.

I wish you wouldn't go back.

- I have to.
- You could be in danger over there.

Making films is what I do.
I'm not some naive little girl.

I know that now.

Actually, my officer chastised me about
my patronising attitude towards you.

- Your officer?
- The one you know as Chris.

Even when you were a suspected
November Committee agent,

he was singing your praises.

Well, say goodbye from me.

Tell him...

that he was wrong about Scorsese.

I'm sorry if I've been a bad father.

I don't expect you
to forgive everything,

just to understand that I would
like things to be better between us.

- Well, I've got your e-mail.
- Let's hope you'll use it.

Bye, Dad.

Thanks.

We need you to explain to him
the error of his ways.

You realise what you're asking us to do?

- We are within our rights to k*ll him.
- We are nowhere near "our rights"!

You're not doing this, I am.

If you think you're capable of it,

you'll be all right.
