03x06 - Persephone

[bunniefuu]

Will North.
You really want to go out with this man?

- Yes.
- He's obviously troublesome.

Then again, if he wasn't,
you wouldn't like him, would you?

- Will asked me to marry him. I said yeah.
- WOMAN: Ahhh!

Will told his idiot brother
what you do for a living.

Will, this is my job.
Do you understand? Do you understand?

I could have been sacked!

- You! I can't ever trust you again.
- Zoe...

So this was an entirely routine
operation into gunrunning?

There's no such thing
as a routine operation.

But you've done it before.

Infiltrate the Turkish mafia? No.

Take on a false identity to get
closer to a target? Of course I have.

Can we talk more
about that false identity?

- For this operation you were "Sophie"?
- Sophie Newman.

- You speak German?
- Yes.

- Fluently?
- Yes.

- Tell me more about Operation Aladdin.
- Nothing more to tell.

We suspected the Turkish mafia
were stepping up a level

and smuggling more than
heroin and handguns.

We had to stop the weapons
reaching t*rrorists.

Miss Reynolds seduced Sevilin Ozal
to access that group?

Befriended. Ozal was in the group
we sought to infiltrate.

THEY SHOUT IN TURKISH

You know he's confessed to the m*rder
of 17 people over the years?

Yes.

- He's rediscovered religion.
- So I hear.

He's also made a full confession
about the warehouse m*ssacre.

m*ssacre's a strong term
for the m*rder of three.

We tend to use strong terms when one of
those k*lled was a fellow police officer.

Ozal tells us that you encouraged him
to carry out the m*rder of Emre Celenk.

Don't answer that!

He went with your injunction
to k*ll Celenk ringing in his ears,

because that was one of MI5's objectives.

You don't understand anything.

No more. That's it.
Thanks, Superintendent.

Let's go, Zoe.

This was an operation,
like thousands of others. It was...

Except on this operation,
a policeman died.

Do you consider that
to be collateral damage?

Could you sit down, please?

Both of you.

May I remind you, Miss Reynolds,
that you are under arrest?

You, Mr Pearce, are attending
this interview against all the rules

and as a result of the intervention
of the Attorney General.

This investigation is a farce whipped up
by a police force motivated by revenge

and a media obsessed with
attacking the security services.

It is an investigation into
a multiple m*rder

whose victims included a police
officer and father of two children.

Something that we profoundly regret,
but for which we are not responsible.

I disagree.

Miss Reynolds...
I'm very sorry to have to say this,

but I am satisfied that we have
the evidence to charge you.

Charge me with what?

In the case of Mehmet Salem
and Hasan Doyan,

with involuntary manslaughter
by an unlawful act.

And that unlawful act forms
the basis of the principal charge,

which is conspiracy to m*rder
Emre Celenk.

Episode 6
Persephone

A slapped wrist. Even if they do obtain
a conviction, that's all she'll get.

One of my best officers
goes on trial tomorrow.

I wish I had your certainty.

Oh, Gordon's hardly known
as a hanging judge.

And he'll agree to all the public interest
immunity certificates you want.

This should still have
been dealt with internally.

In the past it would have been.
But the climate has changed.

We cannot be accused of any type
of whitewash, however small.

This is an opportunity for the government
to polish its tarnished liberal credentials?

A wonderful opportunity
you've given us!

A botched operation,
a dead police officer,

his camera-friendly widow and a media
that scented blood from the start.

And brave bobbies
versus shady spooks.

Whose corner do you think we want
to be in with an election coming?

- Things have changed.
- Someone has to pay.

Someone ALWAYS has to pay, Harry.

At least we've ensured it's one officer and
not the whole of MI5 picking up the bill.

She's a fine officer, Patrick.

That's why we're only talking a slap
on the wrist. She may get off.

Come round to the club later.
I'll buy you a Scotch, make amends.

You think that's all she's worth to me,
a bloody Scotch?!

- How was Lord Young?
- Exactly what you'd expect.

There's a lot of anger about this, Harry.

- Danny?
- Everyone, especially Danny.

- Keep an eye on him.
- Did you get the assurances you wanted?

- Yes. Zoe will be protected.
- Good. We owe her that.

We couldn't have foreseen this, Adam.

You called me.

Will you come in?

Yeah.

So...?

I don't know where to start.

Let's start where my idiot brother
stole photos from me,

and you decided it was all MY fault.

I told you how important trust is.

Well, that works both ways, Zoe.

Well, I'm glad we've sorted THAT out[!]

Will.

I'm in a lot of trouble at the moment.

What sort of trouble?

I can't tell you.

But I've been very scared
and lonely.

What?

You know when someone
has caused you real pain

and you think,
"What did I ever do to deserve this?"

You lie awake hating that person,

and then you see them and you want
to put your arms around them.

That's kind of humiliating,
don't you think?

So put your arms around me.

I'd ask you what's going on,
but I know you're not gonna tell me.

I can't.

Please just trust me.

Please. I'll contact you
when it's all over. I will.

Zoe, you don't ever have
to be lonely, you know that.

I'm so sorry for hurting you.

You're right about not deserving it.
It's just... I didn't mean it.

Come here, it's OK. It's all right.

It's OK. It's gonna be all right.

It's all right,

I promise.

Yes, I'm here at the Central Criminal Court
in the heart of the city,

as it's the first day in the trial of the
MI5 officer known only as Officer X.

Now, reporting restrictions are severe.

The judge, Sir Gordon Chiles,

has signed a raft of public immunity
interest certificates.

Joining me now is the widow of the
m*rder*d police officer Hasan Doyan.

Gillian Doyan, what are
your thoughts about this case?

I just want justice
for myself and my children.

And a sense that we live
in a democracy where nobody -

least of all a member of
the security services - is above the law.

What are your feelings about...?

Well, that's Gillian Doyan
heading into the Central Criminal Court

for the start of this historic case.

We will, of course, be bringing you
continual updates throughout the day

as the trial continues.

All rise.

- The Crown calls Mr Sevilin Ozal.
- Thank you.

All right, Mr Ozal, you can understand
English - that is correct?

Sure.

You are currently serving


three of which are for the murders of
the individuals who concern us today?

- That is correct?
- Yes.

You have been offered no deals
to testify today?

- No.
- Right.

- Do you know the woman in the dock?
- Yes.

- By what name do you know her?
- Sophie Newman.

Where did you first meet
Sophie Newman?

I met her one night in a casino.

David, a three and a five split.

A grand on each.

Three and five, a grand on each -
gentleman at the end of the table.

No more bets.

Number five wins!

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

You appear to be in luck tonight.

It must be the presence
of such a beautiful woman.

I'm with Mahmoud.

We've met. Can I buy you a drink?

I don't accept drinks from strangers...

unless they just happen to have won
a large sum of money at the roulette table.

Mahmoud is your boyfriend?

If he was, do you think
he'd let you buy me a drink?

He won't be in a position to object.

- You know what, I don't like g*ns.
- I do.

Well, why don't you
buy your g*n a drink[?]

If you think that impresses me,
you are very much mistaken.

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

You certainly will be if you don't
find it. What's your name?

- Eva.
- What?

Eva.

Well, Eva, unless you find my scarf,

the next cloakroom you'll find yourself
working in will be back home in Kosovo.

- I'm Polish.
- What did you say?

Why don't you let me
buy you a new scarf?

- Did your luck hold?
- Depends.

- On what?
- Going to let me take you shopping?

- No, I'm not.
- No g*ns.

Why had you and your men
visited the casino that night?

I was celebrating, because I had
sorted out some important business.

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

Ozal!

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

Ozal!

THEY SPEAK IN TURKISH

Ozal.

So who was the man who stopped
you from sh**ting the cafe owner?

- OZAL: Well, we knew him as Zeki.
- Zeki's real name was Hasan Doyan,

and he was a police officer working
undercover in an anti-drugs team.

As usual, he was wearing a wire.

Would it be fair to say that this undercover
policeman saved the cafe owner's life?

You would have shot him otherwise?

Yes.

OK. So after that
you called Sophie Newman again?

- Yes.
- Did you arrange to meet her?

Yes. I took her shopping,
and we went to dinner a few times.

What did she tell you about herself?

She told me that her father was
in the British Army,

that her mother was German.

She said that her one aim in life
was not to be bored.

Did anything about her
seem unusual or strange?

Not really.

One day, though,
I found her alone in my office.

THEY SPEAK IN TURKISH

What do you think you're doing?

- So where do you hide them?
- Hide what?

Wedding rings, photographs...

Is that what this is all about?

- Are you jealous?
- Not jealous, no.

But if some hysterical wife starts running
after me, I'd like to know about it.

Why should she start running after YOU?

She would never be able to catch you.

She's too fat.

So there IS a wife.

You know you really shouldn't
talk about her like that.

Why? It's true.

She's a good cook...

she eats too much
of her own cooking.

She's my wife.

Still, a man should always
respect his wife.

This is...

- Sophie Newman.
- Sophie, this is my boss, Emre Celenk.

- I've heard about you.
- ZOE: Really? From who?

I was told you were beautiful,
and they weren't exaggerating.

- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- And you.

If you'll excuse me, I have business
to discuss with my colleague.

Of course.

Maybe we can all meet
for dinner later?

We can discuss Germany. I understand
you know our friend Mahmoud.

Yes, sure.

Call me later.

That was the first time that
the woman you knew as Sophie Newman

had ever met Emre Celenk?

As we are moving on to a new area,

I feel this might be a good time
to adjourn for the day.

All rise.

You're one of them, aren't you?

What?

A spy, a spook -
whatever they call you.

I've seen you in there.

- You are?
- You know who I am.

I can't talk to you.

You think you're all-powerful,
you don't have to obey the same rules?

If that were true,
we wouldn't BE here, would we?

That's thanks to dedicated policemen who
don't creep around in the dark like you do.

No wonder they call you spooks.

If we creep around in the dark,
it's because we have to,

cos there are people out there
who also move in the dark.

Look at that old man
selling the newspaper.

That woman,
scratching her back while she talks.

The couple whose fingers are touching
who are obviously having an affair.

They know they should go to the gym,
give up smoking, consolidate their debts.

We try to protect them from people
who would happily blow them to pieces.

You can question our methods -
we do that all the time -

but don't question our motives.

Don't talk to her again, Danny.

- What was your relationship with Celenk?
- He was my boss.

Did you get on well with him?
Prior to sh**ting him, of course.

- Thank you. Yes?
- He was my boss.

Did you, Celenk and Sophie
ever socialise together?

Sure. He liked her.

And did she appear to like him?

She changed when he was around.

No. No, thank you.

These are the forces that will
dictate the shape of our century.

Al-Qaeda, American oil companies
and the East European mafia.

- Remind me never to have children!
- You shouldn't have children anyway.

- Why not?
- You were made for better things.

So you know our friend
Mahmoud from Germany?

Mmm. I work for
an import-export company.

I know.

You'll also know, then,
that our interests coincided briefly.

When I came to London,
he offered to accompany me to a casino.

I love gambling.
You're in good company, then.

I made Sophie a proposition.

I'm going to Frankfurt
on a business trip soon.

I need someone with me
who speaks German and knows the city.

For how long?

A weekend.

How strange.

One trip to the toilet,
and you suddenly lose your appetite[!]

And did Sophie Newman
go to Frankfurt with Emre Celenk?

Yes, she did.

And you were jealous,
which was of course her intention?

That's a leading question. The witness
can't comment on my client's intentions.

Rephrase the question, please.
Yes, my lord.

How did you feel about that?

Bad.

And when she returned from the weekend,
did she call you straightaway?

No.

So what happened?

I got drunk.

I beat my wife.

I was blinded by love,
and only God can forgive me my crimes.

So when did you next see
Sophie Newman?

You slept with him?

And what did you expect?

You let me go away with him
when you knew he wanted me.

He's my boss!

I couldn't say no to him!

Nor could I.

You know, he's a very persuasive,
powerful man.

He's much more powerful than you.

k*lling me isn't going to help you.
HE's the one that laughs at you.

k*lling me is just going to
make him laugh even more.

- He laughs at me?
- Yeah.

- As he undressed me.
- I'm gonna k*ll him.

I don't think you'd dare.

No. You know, I think
he's more likely to have YOU k*lled.

He thinks you're weak.

Weak?

Yeah.
g*n CLICKS

Why don't you show me
that you're not weak?

Things could be very different.

Why don't you show me
that you care enough about me?

You drive me crazy.

You know what you have to do
for us to be together.

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

Ozal!

Ozal!

Ozal!

I just want to draw your attention
to the phrase in the transcripts -

"Sophie told me what happened.
She told me to k*ll you."

Now, this is what Ozal has just said to
Celenk, and Celenk's reply is...

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

Tell Sophie
that life is only a dream.

Ozal! I'm
an undercover police officer, OK?

Don't!
I'm married with two kids! Ozal!

'Please don't k*ll me, Ozal!

'I'm married with two children.
Shh! Ozal, no!'

Ozal, don't do it.
Don't do it!

Please, Ozal, please!

Ozal!

'Ozal, don't do it.
Don't do it, please.

'My children... Please.'

Please.

I have no further questions
for this witness, my lord.

'Some said that
our investigation would be blocked,

'and that the security services
are above the law.

'I can't comment on the trial,

'but the fact that this is
taking place proves them wrong.

'What about allegations
that Officer X is a scapegoat?'

What are YOU doing here, Harry?

Came to see if you were OK.

A gruelling day.

Yeah, yeah. The tapes were bad -
they support Ozal's testimony.

Go and tidy your room, Danny.

Right. Sure.

Can I get you a drink or something?

I'm preparing
my character-witness statement.

Hope you're going to say nice things.

Well, I won't tell them
about the stapler you stole.

The Attorney General has assured me
that even if it comes to the worst,

you'll just get a slapped wrist.

Why are they letting this happen?
They need to slap our wrists publicly,

and there's some irritation at how
we lost control of the operation.

What is it?

I need to be sure, Zoe,

that you will not deviate
from the story that's been agreed.

Tell the truth under oath, you mean?

- Heaven forbid[!]
- This is very complex.

- Much more is at stake here.
- Than my career and my liberty?

Yes.

- I'll stick to what we agreed.
- To tell the truth but not...

The whole truth and nothing but the truth.

- Truth is a highly elastic concept.
- No. We make it elastic.

But don't worry, Harry.
I understand the stakes.

Try and get a good night's sleep.

Harry?

Everything's gonna be OK, isn't it?

Of course it will.

I swear by almighty God
that the evidence I shall give

shall be the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.

OK.

I'll start by asking you some questions
about the build-up to Operation Aladdin.

Right.

- When did you first find out about it?
- It was a Monday morning.

Two of our officers arrived
with a strange new toy.

Les jeux sont faits! Rien
ne va plus, mesdames et messieurs.

- What's that for?
- Look...

- Now, give me a colour.
- Red.

- Odd or even?
- Odd.

BALL CLATTERS

Cool! How does it work?

Some things must remain
among the cognoscenti.

- What's it for?
- All will be explained at the meeting.

These are victims of feuding between
two factions of the Turkish mafia.

One wing was more associated with the
heroin trade, the other with arms.

It would appear

that a decisive winner
has now emerged from that battle.

This is Emre Celenk - ruthless,
brilliant and highly educated.

He's in the victorious gunrunning wing.

- Not your stereotypical Turkish mafioso.
- Why are we interested?

His victory means a big increase in the
number of g*ns getting into the country.

And not just g*ns.

He has links to the Balkan arms route,
and the weaponry is more sophisticated.

Some of that stuff
could easily fall into t*rror1st hands.

Sevilin Ozal -
one of Celenk's lieutenants.

- DANNY: And the weakest link?
- ADAM: Correct.

We think he's our best bet for someone
we can both manipulate and turn.

Who are we going
to get to do that, then?

We're going to turn you into
just the woman Ozal will love.

Through him, we get to Celenk.

Right, that's it.

Zoe, let's go through a few more
details about your legend, shall we?

During the briefing of that Monday
morning, was it ever suggested

that one of the objectives of this operation
was the assassination of Emre Celenk?

- Definitely not.
- What about euphemisms?

"Remove him"? "Cancel his contract"?

ZOE: No euphemisms were used
in the case of Emre Celenk.

And no such suggestion
was ever made during the briefing.

Right.
Now, in his evidence,

Mr Ozal made reference
to an individual named Mahmoud.

You arrived at the casino with him
the first night you met Mr Ozal.

Can you tell us more about that?

Hey, Sam.

Zoe, this is Mahmoud - an undercover
officer with the BND in Germany.

He's infiltrated the Turkish mafia,
but is also known to Celenk.

- Nice to meet you.
- And you.

I believe Malcolm's already shown
you the magic roulette wheel.

Yes.

Ozal goes to a casino
which is part of Celenk's empire.

Let me guess. We let him win?

Yes. That's when you make your move.
But we want him to work hard for you.

- Quite right too!
- We'll give you a new frock, diamonds.

And the cherry on the cake is that
at the end of the op, I get to keep them?

I'm afraid this particular cake
comes without a cherry.

OK, Sophie Newman,
let's have a look at you.

This should do the trick.

Now, let's do the voice again.
Think posh, cigarette-husky.

Come on, it's an important part
of your legend.

You're Sophie Newman.
You're clever but easily bored.

You're amoral
and you want money and excitement.

What will you say when he wins?

You appear to be in luck tonight.

Yes! Nicely done, Zoe.
Have you got a visual, Bravo Two?

'Affirmative, Alpha One.
He's talking to her now.'

OK, Zoe, find a reason
to blow him out.

'She's blown him out, Alpha One.'

Great.

Are you in position, Bravo Three?

- Affirmative, Alpha One.
- 'Good.'

Leave him at the roulette wheel.
Mahmoud, you tell him Sophie

is slipping from his grasp
and she's leaving.

Tell him she's at the cloakroom.

I love this job sometimes.

But befriending Ozal was really a means
of getting closer to Emre Celenk?

Yes.

And you first met Celenk the day that Ozal
caught you in his office?

Yes.

You've got a problem, Alpha One.

The target is returning.

- Have I got time to get out?
- 'Negative.'

'Shall I request back-up?'

No, we'd lose the whole op.

What do you think you're doing?

- So where do you hide them?
- Hide what?

- 'Wedding rings, photographs...
- Is that what this is all about?

- 'Are you jealous?
- Not jealous, no.

'But if some hysterical wife starts running
after me, I'd like to know about it.'

Control, I'm worried about Persephone.

She's with Ozal, but Celenk has arrived
with one of his heavies. I should go in.

- CELENK: 'A man should always...
- Control?'

- She'll talk her way out of it.
- She might be in danger.

She is, but she's good,
so she'll get out of it.

Maybe we can all meet
for dinner later.

We can discuss Germany. I understand
you know our friend Mahmoud.

Yes, sure.

Call me later.

She's done it.

How did you judge the relationship
between Ozal and Celenk?

It became clear Celenk despised him,
especially his drug use.

- What are you doing with him, Sophie?
- I like him.

He amuses me.

He amuses you[!]
Then you are easily amused.

Apart from gambling,
you don't share his other vices.

I mean, you're not a drinker,
or drugs.

Drugs are the most boring things
in the world.

And very dangerous to our work.

They make you loose-tongued.

I may liberate you
from Ozal for a weekend soon.

See if we can have
a less boring time together.

I don't do that.

I am not talking about one
of your English dirty weekends.

It's strictly business.

I made Sophie a proposition.

So relations between
Ozal and Celenk were strained?

In my opinion, yes.
Yes, they were.

Was Ozal aware of this?

Sometimes he became paranoid -
he thought Celenk might try to k*ll him.

I put that down
to excessive cocaine use.

What did MI5 hope to gain by you
accompanying Celenk to Frankfurt?

Intelligence on Balkan gunrunning
and a closer proximity to Celenk.

Not to make Ozal jealous?

If that had been my aim, I wouldn't have
had to go to Frankfurt to do that.

Quite.

And tell us about the meeting with
Sevilin Ozal when you returned.

That wasn't at all
as he described it.

Um... we met,
and I tried to give him a present,

but he began ranting again about how
Celenk was trying to have him k*lled,

and then he stormed out.

And the first you knew
of the deaths in the warehouse...?

A colleague picked me up and told me
that the operation was over.

Obviously, we were distraught

at the news of the death of the police
officer on the undercover drugs operation.

We had no idea of his existence.

Thank you.
No further questions, my lord.

I think we'll adjourn for lunch.

All rise.

You have denied
that you and Mr Ozal were lovers.

Did that never become an issue
between you?

No.

So you were using the promise
of sex to manipulate him?

Is it common for you to use sex to
manipulate people during an operation?

No.

But you're very attractive.
Perhaps you were recruited for that?

That was never mentioned
at the interview.

The expensive dress, the diamonds?
What were they for?

We wanted him to be attracted to me.
No-one denied that.

Mm-hm, so he was buying you gifts
and taking you out,

and yet he received
nothing in return?

Or was it your sparkling conversation
that so entranced Mr Ozal?

You're totally missing the point.

By denying Ozal sex he was easier to...

Wind up? Manipulate?

To control.

It has been suggested by your defence
that Ozal was very frightened of Celenk.

Yes.

But that's not supported by
any of the taped conversations

between the undercover policeman
and Ozal. Do you find that strange?

It's macho culture -
you don't confess fear to another man.

And while
we're on the subject of tapes,

can we go back to the incident
where Mr Ozal caught you in his office?

What were you doing?

I was replacing a defective bug

that had been providing us with
a lot of useful secondary intelligence.

So when you returned from Frankfurt,
the new bug was up and running?

Yes.

So where are the tapes for the period after
you returned from Frankfurt?

We've requested them,
but have been told they don't exist.

There could be any number of reasons
for that. Things do sometimes go missing.

Or perhaps you laid down
another defective bug?

Is MI5's equipment that unreliable?

- My lord...
- I'll allow this.

The new bug magically stopped working
after you got back from Frankfurt[?]

- Is that it?
- Obviously not.

So where are MI5's records for what
happened that day in Ozal's office?

We're a very large organisation.
Records do go missing.

Lucky for us, then, that the police
aren't so careless with THEIR evidence.

Ozal - "She told me to k*ll you."

Celenk - "Well, if she told you
to k*ll me, then you must."

- How do you explain that?
- He was lying. I can't speculate as to why.

You used Ozal's sexual jealousy
to turn him into your weapon, didn't you?

No.

And in doing so, you showed
a cowardly disregard for human life.

Ozal was in such a rage that anybody with
Celenk would have met the same fate.

- But you didn't care about that.
- That's not true.

Your regard for the truth is on a par with
your regard for human life.

The goal of this shoddy, sordid operation
was the death of Emre Celenk.

That's the truth, isn't it?

No.

No further questions, my lord.

Nobody is seeking
to deny Sevilin Ozal's past,

but he has been offered nothing
to testify in this trial,

and he has confessed to crimes
for which he was not even...

The choice before you is clear.
Believe a murderous drug addict,

who descended into
the cocaine-fuelled paranoia

that his boss might have him k*lled.

Or believe a brave officer,
who has put her life on the line...

You must put aside all talk
of fine lines and grey areas.

Did Officer X, for whatever reason,

tell Sevilin Ozal to k*ll Emre Celenk?

And did this result in the deaths
of both Celenk...?

I don't expect you
to reach a verdict today.

You will be sequestered
at a hotel for the night.

All rise.

Zoe?

Don't come near me, Danny.
I've lost all regard for human life.

You should get some sleep.

Can't.

Do you want something?

Hot chocolate?

Whisky?

No. Why don't you go back to bed?

I've dealt with scarier things
than missing a night's sleep, Zoe.

I'll stay up with you.

The jury are attacking the minibars now,
getting ready for their big day tomorrow.

Don't think about that.

If I don't, I just think about
the face of the policeman's widow.

Tell me, Zoe.

Tell you what?

Tell me what really happened.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You do.

I'll never repeat it to a living soul.

But tell me what really happened.

I'm the only person
who can truly understand.

If I tell you, Danny, you can never
tell anybody else what you know.

Harry and Adam must always think
you believe the version I gave in court.

All right? And you have to swear to me.

I swear.

It began after the first briefing.

..feuding between two factions
of the Turkish mafia.

..just the woman Ozal will love.

Through him, we get to Celenk.

Right, that's it.

Zoe, let's go through a few details
about your legend, shall we?

OK.

No-one outside this room knows
what we're about to tell you now.

It has to stay that way.

We believe Celenk
has al-Qaeda connections.

- What kind of connections?
- We're not sure.

We think he works in
the financial side of things.

- In what way?
- Al-Qaeda is also a business empire.

There's money to be made
working for them.

The fact is, we just don't know.

Celenk is an enigma, hence the need
for you to get close to him.

And the need for total secrecy about that.

If we find out that he is
providing services for al-Qaeda,

then we'll have to explore all
our options regarding Mr Celenk.

- Including...
- ALL our options.

So it WAS part of the brief to k*ll Celenk?

Come on,
you know how these things work.

It was vaguely hinted at
as being a long-term option.

- Yeah, OK.
- I couldn't talk about al-Qaeda in court.

- But it might have helped your case.
- There are other lives at stake here.

Thought you had no regard for human life.

That was why Harry came over the other
night - to make sure I didn't say anything.

They wanted you to stay on Celenk
with the option of k*lling him?

Yeah, but first we needed
to find out about him.

That's why I went to Frankfurt.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

'Status report from Persephone
to Control.

'Target observed
in meeting with two men'

the Germans have verified as Saudis.

Having dinner with them.
Will report back later.

Well...

Let's have a drink.

Really, you are quite safe with me.
I promise.

You know I don't want to sleep with you.

There are things
I wish to discuss with you.

I might like you
to do some more work for me.

Are you tired?

No. I'd love another brandy.

Good.

- Risky.
- Yeah, a great opportunity, though.

If he didn't want to sleep with you,
what did he want?

I thought it was what he said -
to discuss work.

American rubbish.

You don't like Americans?

I think no better or worse of them
than of anybody else.

I did enjoy watching the planes
flying into the Twin Towers.

It... it certainly made the pulse
beat a little faster.

Mmm!

The people jumping was awful, though.

Can't you imagine the excitement

of those young men
who had taken over the planes?

To do something so devastating,
so spectacular...

It almost sounds
as though you support al-Qaeda.

No, I'm not interested
in their ideology.

They are a business, as well
as a t*rror1st organisation.

But they could do something here
or in London that would k*ll everyone.

Why are you so frightened
of death, Sophie?

The couple
kissing down in the lobby,

the boy who brought us the drinks...

who would really care
if they all vanished tomorrow?

Well, their families,
the people that love them...

Compare their trivial lives

to those men
who rushed to their deaths

on that beautiful morning in New York.

Is that what you enjoy, then?

- Death and destroying people?
- Enjoy?

No, not really.

But if you don't like
death and destruction,

I suggest you look away
for the next 30 years,

because it's inevitable,

and millions will perish.

You know, you make money from people
who deal in death and destruction.

I'm not sure
that I entirely approve of you.

But there is a part of you
that agrees with me, I'm sure.

- And what makes you think that?
- You're clever.

You're a bit lonely.

I imagine you've never been able
to keep a lover.

But you pretend that's through choice.

One thing puzzles me, though.

- That lost child at the station...
- What about her?

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Are you all right?

'We would like to remind all passengers
to keep your luggage with you at all times.

'Any unattended luggage
will be removed.

'Thank you for your co-operation.'

OK.

Bye!

I saw your face.

It wasn't the Sophie Newman who
screams at cloakroom attendants.

How do you know about that?

I've always had a soft spot
for children.

That other b*tch happened to lose a
particularly beautiful scarf of mine.

- Shall I have her k*lled?
- What?

The girl in the cloakroom.

Well?

Come on, Sophie.

I thought it was your mission
in life not to be bored.

- Let's see if she's working tonight.
- Let's just... sit down.

One call to the casino,

and one of my men
can follow her to her house,

k*ll her and everybody in it.

- Stop it.
- You don't find this boring, do you?

We can listen to her screaming.

HE SPEAKS IN TURKISH

Good!

She's working.

So, how much pain does she deserve
for losing your beautiful scarf?

Stop it.

One person,

a million people,

you or me.

It changes nothing in the end.

Life is only a dream, and one day
we all wake up from it.

I'd like to believe that when people wake
up, they'll see a kinder face than yours.

Good night, Sophie.

Under no circumstances. Just when
we're making a massive breakthrough.

- The trip was a huge success.
- He tore my legend to pieces.

He would have k*lled you
if that were the case.

I had to hear how much he enjoyed
watching the Twin Towers come down.

Adam, this man disgusts me.

Sadly in this job, we don't get
to deal with nice guys.

I don't want to do this any more.

I am very uncomfortable that a man who
thinks he can do business with al-Qaeda

is in his position.

We can't take you
off the mission, Zoe.

- And then?
- I went to his office.

I removed the bug

and I told him I'd slept
with Celenk in Frankfurt.

That must have driven him crazy
after all his time pursuing you.

Yeah.

I didn't spare him any details either.

So you also asked him to...

I told Ozal to k*ll Celenk, Danny.

But you hadn't received
specific instructions to do so.

No. Harry was uncomfortable with
Celenk heading the organisation.

But that's not a k*ll order.

No.

I just decided to interpret it as one.

- Why?
- Because I was frightened.

- For Sam?
- For Sam. For myself.

For the couple kissing in the hotel.
For the kid who brought us our drinks.

For anyone
whose life he deemed worthless.

Danny, I couldn't see him
as a potential asset

or a source of intelligence any longer,

just as a man who could see no difference
between one death and a million.

We make difficult decisions, and we're
denied the luxury of moral absolutes.

Yeah.

Yeah, but this time, Danny,
I messed up a mission.

I've exposed the service
to this... court farce,

and I caused the death
of two other men.

You know, you have to live with the
consequences of your choices, Danny.

Do you think Celenk knew you were MI5?

I don't know.

Sometimes I like to think
he let me go from Frankfurt

cos it gave him some release
from the nightmare he'd become.

Thanks for telling me the truth.

Whatever happens tomorrow,
whatever the jury decides,

I want you to know something.

It's OK.

I love you.

I know.

I just want this to be over.

You're exhausted.
The whisky will help you sleep.

Go on, lie down.

There's only a few hours till the morning,
and I'll stay with you.

- I'm so tired, Danny.
- Just close your eyes.

- Don't go away.
- I won't.

You know, we have done
some brilliant things together.

Yeah, we have.

- And I'm not going to sleep.
- Doesn't matter.

- This waiting is dreadful.
- No need for alarm. I've had assurances.

Harry!

The jury are coming back in.

JUDGE: Will the defendant please stand?

And would the foreman please stand?

Have you reached verdicts
on which you are all agreed?

Yes, my lord.

On the charge of involuntary
manslaughter of Mehmet Salem,

do you find the defendant guilty
or not guilty?

Guilty.

And on the charge of the involuntary
manslaughter of Hasan Doyan,

do you find the defendant
guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

And on the charge
of conspiring to m*rder Emre Celenk,

do you find the defendant guilty
or not guilty?

Guilty.

The trial of Officer X
reached a dramatic conclusion today

as the judge handed down
a ten-year prison sentence.

- You going to see the Attorney General?
- I certainly am.

They've given us a political trial.
Let's get political on them.

- My thoughts exactly.
- I'd better get back in.

- Call me as soon as you need me.
- Thanks, Adam.

I'm not letting them lock her up.

A slapped wrist?!

- The sentence was lenient.
- You implied there'd be NO sentence!

That was something
over which I had no control.

You've had control from the start.
This was a show trial.

To a degree, yes.

We were showing this is not a state where
the rule of law counts for nothing

and where a member of
the security services

can appoint themself as an executioner.

Remember that pious bullshit

the next time there's a t*rror1st outrage
on these shores.

And you remember that a democracy
is not only protected with g*ns.

So we reward the loyalty of one
of my officers with a prison cell?

- There's no option, Harry.
- Oh, there's always an option.

Because let me tell you, a few
reputations will go down with Zoe.

We know where the bodies
are buried... remember?

You're playing
a very dangerous game here.

So we appear
to have reached an impasse.

Sit down.

Harry.

Right. I'm on it.

Zoe's been sentenced. I need to know
when they're moving her and where.

It's Adam. No time for explanations -
I need a young woman.

No time for jokes, either. Here's the deal -
she needs to be Zoe's height and build.

- What's going on?
- Come with us. We'll explain on the way.

Do you not understand? No, Harry!

OK, Danny, you've got to convince
her now. It's up to you.

What's happening with the stooge?

The price of silence is her


goes down to Zoe's 10 in an open prison.

- Officer X will get a new identity anyway.
- Danny's got to convince her.

Gina Hamilton. It's a pretty name.

And Chile's a really beautiful country,
but I won't do it.

They ask a lot of you in this job.

Now I'm supposed to convince you
to go away and never see any of us again.

Well, don't worry,
you won't convince me.

Prisons aren't good places, Zoe.
And ten years is longer than it sounds.

Leave my family?
My friends? Leave my job?

There is no job any longer. And the gaps
between visits will feel like forever.

- I said I'd contact Will.
- Is it fair to ask him to wait ten years?

- He'll think I've betrayed his trust.
- I'll call him.

I'll make it all right.

I... I can't do this.

Take it.

Take the passport.

Danny, I'm willing to pay the price
for what I've done.

Think of the impact
it'll have on everyone else.

Are you still appealing
to my sense of duty?

Yes. Yes.
It never went away.

Look, take it.

It's your freedom, and Harry
had to threaten a coup to get it.

BANGING
Time's up!

Wait! One minute, please.

Zoe.

- I'll know who I am and what I've done.
- Really?

Because your name would not
be Zoe Reynolds in prison.

How do you like RW936?

God, it never stops.

What IS your real identity, Zoe?

I mean, who ever really knows that?

If it's anything, it's the impulse

that led you to decide that
ordinary lives weren't trivial

and that you had a duty to protect them.

The question is
whether you're going to allow them

to put that identity behind bars
for ten years.

Some... lucky person in Chile
who doesn't know it yet

is going to meet Gina Hamilton.

Maybe you'll have kids.

I'd like to have a baby
one day - a little girl.

Then get away from here.

I'll never see you again.

Maybe one day,
when nothing matters any more,

I'll come out,

and we'll sit by the ocean

and laugh at all this.

Oh, Danny!

You mustn't cry.

No.

You have to go.

Danny?

Gone.

HARRY: So whoever is doing this
has cracked this code?

ADAM: Yes.

We've got nine people dead

after taking the most commonly used
medicine in the country.

Whatever it takes,
I want these techno freaks stopped.

You'll ruin millions of lives.

- Danny, talk to me.
- Why can't we just tell him where she is?

They've got till tomorrow night,
otherwise it hits the headlines.
