05x04 - World Trade

Post by bunniefuu »

Do you remember
when I was a child,

you said I was scared of everything?

But now...

you absolutely terrify me.

Myers...

I don't care what you
charge him with

but he's not going
to get away with this.

- What'll happen to my father?
- It's not for me to say, but...

it doesn't help the country
to have big reprisals.

He'll be OK.

- I can't.
- Can't what?

Have dinner again.
People are laughing about it.

Sorry.

Bugs operational in all locations.
CCTV is active.

We have blanket surveillance.

The delegates are arriving.

'As world leaders gather in Berkshire
for the Addressing Africa summit,

'pressure groups insist that only
a comprehensive trade agreement

'will have any noticeable
effects on poverty. '

As British Foreign Secretary,

I'm proud to open the
Havensworth Addressing Africa summit.

This is a unique opportunity,

an opportunity to sign an agreement,

that will save
millions of lives in Africa.

Foreign Secretary, the Havensworth
summit is at risk of complete collapse.

What do you mean?

At 7am, MI6 intercepted
a phone call

from the US Trade Secretary
- Traynor Styles -

to the French Government.

Styles told the French that
recent events mean his signature

at Havensworth
is no longer a certainty.

What recent events?

The American mid-term elections
are in a month,

president’s polling
at an all time low,

not a good time to be cutting
American farm subsidy.

I'm afraid to say
the Americans and the French

are about to go into reverse gear,

and just about every promise
they ever made too.

I don't believe this,


destroyed by one phone call.

It's called the American way.

Well, the British way is not
to give in to international bullying.

I have a deal on the table

that can deliver real benefits
to millions of people.

This can be the summit
that saved Africa.

I'm not throwing that away!

We'd like you to give
MI5 the authority

to mount an operation
inside Havensworth.

To deliver the agreement,
in whatever way possible.

We know you want
those signatures.

We can help you get them.

I'd like to introduce my co-hosts
at Havensworth this week,

two men without
whose tireless work,

cajoling and persuading our African
partners to come to the table,

none of us would be here.

President Manu Buffong of Guadec

and the President of West Monrassa,

Gabriel Sekoa.

Thank you.

Thank you.

President Sekoa and I,
come from different sides of Africa

but we come here in one cause
- our continent.

President Gabriel Sekoa.

Thank you.

I'd like you to look at this.

We’ve scheduled the opening ceremony
to start at 3pm.

We’ll hit the first editions
of all the newspapers.

How's the work
on the Sekoa speech?

- I'm doing a final polish now.
- He's known for speaking his mind.

We’ve sourced this photograph
to help them.

Pretty, isn't she?
But she was prettier


when she was still alive.

She died of cholera!

Her name is Remercie Konda.

She died because her family
could not afford the medication

that would have saved her.

She died because her family

were not able to sell
cotton to their own people.

Their own countrymen,
my people.

Chose instead to buy
cheap cotton from Alabama.

They're subsidised by
the American government.

So... Remercie died.

In three days, representatives
of African and G8 countries

will meet in this hotel to try...

and sign the Havensworth agreement,

a trade deal that will mean that...

girls like Remercie
will never again die of cholera.

My friends...

We have failed Africa before.

Everybody is expecting us
to fail again.

Remercie Konda
challenges us all

to succeed.

How's surveillance going?

Oh, the usual summit fun and games.

The CIA have blitzed the entire wing
and removed all our bugs

even the one
in the showerhead.

The French have disabled
all the cameras in their rooms,

and the Russians are drinking
vodka and playing cards.

But with our friend Diaspora here...

providing they are carrying
their mobile phones and pagers,

I can tell you the location of every
single person staying at Havensworth.

For example,
a certain Zafar Younis...

is currently sitting
in the breakfast room.

- Reading Top Gear magazine?
- Well, that's almost certainly true

but otherwise not something
Diaspora can confirm.

Adam wants me at Havensworth.

I thought you asked not to go.

I did, but I...

I was overruled.

I apologise if I was
insensitive before.

What goes on between you and Harry
is none of my business.

Nothing's going on.

We have the PR springboard we wanted.

We started operations on the
Americans and French simultaneously.

Emile Becker,
French Finance Minister.

Heavily under pressure from
the French farmers not to sign,

but spineless enough
to give us what we want

if the right pressures applied.

US Secretary for Trade,
Traynor Styles.

Styles is a different type
of player entirely.

He's a White House insider

with heavy connections
to corporate America.

Secretary of State. I'm Deborah
Soames, the summit organiser.

On behalf of the hotel managment,
welcome to Havensworth.

Styles won't bend to any pressure
and has full CIA protection.

We really need to hear
what's being said in his room.

- Pleasure to meet you m'am.
- And you too, sir.

If there's anything I can do to make
your stay here more comfortable,

- please don't hesitate to ask.
- Thank you.

Tribune for the Secretary of State.

OK.

Have you seen the papers,
Foreign Secretary?

Yes.
Good start, Harry.

Now the hard work
begins for both of us.

We might surprise a few people.
About you?

Deborah Soames, summit organiser
on behalf of the Havensworth hotel.

Johnny Baxter, British Government.

I've made first contact with Styles.

It’s not gonna be easy getting into
the suite, you’ll have to be inventive.

My middle name.

I’ve never been in a room with
so many powerful people before.

Really?
I was on Blue Peter once.

- I'm Aaron, by the way.
- Sophie.

- Michelle. Hi.
- Nice to meet you...

Both.

- Coffee gentleman?
- No, thank you.

My doctor says it's bad for my heart.
But what does he know?

It's Fair Trade, of course.

- Officer.
- Were you turned away at the door?

Yeah.
Fortress America.

OK. We think differently on Styles.
Focus on Becker.

Certainly, sir.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the negociating hall is now open.

On behalf of the Havensworth hotel,
may I wish you all

the very very best of luck.

'If you'd like to step this way...'

They're entering the talks.
Surveillance up and running.

Hello.
I'm glad you're here.

I need your organizational skills
on this operation. Got your pass.

- Do I need to organize a room?
- No, it's all arranged.

Your room.

It's your own room.

Of course.
Right...

I have to take this.

- Do you want to..?
- Sure.

'We're willing to offer our African
friends whatever assistance we can.'

Flag cams are operational.

'We have to consider our
own farmers' interests. '

'Now where have I heard that before?'

Adam?

I've just had a call from the DG
about Ros's father.

My request for leniency
been turned down.

They've decided
to make an example of him.

How many years will he get?



He'll be over 80 when he gets out.
She'll be devastated.

Keep it to yourself.

We need her focused
on this operation.

Go on.

Morning recess has been called.
Traynor Styles has returned to his room.

He's not feeling well poor love.

Gabriel Sekoa has gone with him.

'He's trying to make in roads
on the US position. '

I want to hear
what they're saying.

We're doing our best.

Houston, we have contact.

What can you hear?

He's got a sky ice hockey thing on TV.
I can't hear a damn thing.

Zaf, try the camera.

Let me know when Sekoa leaves.

Ruth, what do you have on
Traynor Styles and ice hockey?

He's on the road on Governers
of the Kansas City Flamers.

Get me everything on them.

Ruth, I need 20 black kids

to go to the back entrance
of the hotel at midday.

'We need to put pressure on the French. '

Right.

Sekoa is leaving Styles' suite.
Ros is making her move.

Hi, I'm Deborah Soames.

Summit organizer
on behalf of Havensworth.

Secretary of State,
I'm so sorry to disturb you.

I heard you were taken ill.

Just a bout of jetlag. I'm sure
I'll soon be back at the table.

Hey, isn't that Jason Nash?

He's a great player.

Never quite made
the Hall of Fame though, did he?

- You a hockey fan?
- Yeah. I am.

I'm a Flamers' girl.

Kansas City Flamers?

I spent three years in Kansas
studying business managment,

Saw every game.

I'm on the board of trustees.

I know you are.
You were State Governor.

And a very popular one too.

Isn't this an old play-off?

Yeah, it's a half hour
of classic games.

Best I could find in this country.

Not a Kansas City game among them.

Well, on your return,
you besure to give the city my love.

I will do that.

How are the talks?
We're all very hopeful.

As are we.

Hope is an American invention.

So is the atom b*mb.

But let's not dwell on the past.

You're wasted in this country,
Miss Soams.

Now if you'll excuse me?

Of course.

Patch me into 205.

You're connected.



Sorry.
Go ahead.



He's as interested in voting
for the Havensworth agreement

as I am in joining
a all woman’s book club.

There was something on his laptop
he didn't want me to see.

Can I bum one?

What do I get in return?

That's exactly the kind of attitude
that threatens talks like these.

Don't think about what
you can get back?

More about spreading good
will on both sides?

Give me your f*gs for nothing,
and smile while I smoke them.

- Right.
- Back to work.

God bless the staff pagers.

- See ya.
- See ya.

Havensworth's delegation
from welling north primary.

We tried watering down the wording
but Styles and Becker aren't budging.

Styles has rather aggravated
affairs by delivering

the diplomatic equivalent
of a mother's sick note.

We think Styles is conducting
some extra-curricular business activity.

As for Monsieur Becker.

He’s about to get a little surprise.

Mr Becker?

Sorry to trouble you, sir.
I have a telephone call for you.

Thank you.

If you'd like to take it through there.
The phone's on your left.

Thank you.

Mr Becker!

Now get out of that 'mon vieux'.

A dam?

Traynor Styles is meeting
the Japanese Minister of Finance.

Why would they be
having a bilateral?

'I doubt very much
it's about Africa. '

Can you hear what they're saying?

He's still got the hockey on.
He's using it to block us.

'We have to hear their conversation. '

Cut the power to that corridor.

Minister, we're safe to talk.

'This is house keeping... '

I'm phoning to apologize for the temporary loss
of power the complex is currently experiencing.

We're hoping to have full power
restored in a matter of minutes.

We can't risk talking here.

Let's take a walk.

'We're late getting back to the talks... '

let me get right to the point.

I've spoken to my colleagues
in Washington and,

we're willing to reduce
our price to $200 million.

'That's one third the market value. '

'You have a deal, Mr Styles. '

'There is...
a condition of sale. '

'What is it?'

You don't sign Havensworth.

You walk out tomorrow morning,
causing the summit to collapse.

We don't want to take the hit
on screwing this one.

The English we need sweet
for future operations.

I think the Japanese government
can be the bad guys on this occasion?

- Satisfactory?
- Very satisfactory.

Good. Let's get back
to the negoiations.

Touchdown!

The music woke me.

I’ve never really gone in for europop.

Looks like you weren’t
sleeping at all.

Nor was I.

It's the Italian Trade Minister.

He's apparently a bit of a party animal.

Caused a scandal at an EU
conference last year by insisting

on dancing to the Macarena
at the last night banquet.

I'll get the management
to ask him to turn it down.

- Ruth...
- Good night, Harry.

Oh, Ruth...

'Our doubts are traitors,

and make us lose the good we oft
might win by fearing to attempt. '

Well, it's really a good offer.

I know we were a family then, Mum,
but reality is if we sell the house

we can clear the legal fees.
Please Mum, it'll be OK.

Look, my boss is coming.
I'll call you later, OK?

- Foreign Secretary?
- Second item on the six o'clock.

Puts Becker in a bit of a fix.
My heart bleeds for him.

Your paper, sir.

Becker is clever.

My guess is Becker will stall,

claiming he wants to sign but using
the Americans as an excuse not to.

Meanwhile, the Japanese pull out
first thing tomorrow.

And the summit collapses.

So it's all down to Traynor Styles.

Ros needs to find out
what's on his laptop.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything,

but I have something
for the Secretary of State.

It's allright.
Let her in.

DVD of the 1985 Stanley Cup Final.

Won by the Kansas City Flamers.

I have a friend in the American embassy.
He's a fan.

How's it going downstairs?

Well, these things take time.

Can't seem to get a picture.

Maybe the American DVD isn't
compatible with the British machine.

I do hope this isn't symbolic
of transatlantic relations.

Fortunately, I have
an American laptop.

Nothing gets between
a man and his hockey.

This is what I call customer care.

We're in.
Spy-da is uploading onto the laptop.

- Were you at the game?
- What do you think?

I was a 35-year-old congressman,

full of ambition.

Day after we won the Cup,
my popularity rating went up 85%.

They never won it again.

Almost there, Ros.

The Spy-da's embedded.
Now we need him to go online.

Well I'll leave you to it.

Enjoy.

By the way,
there was a call for you

but your line was busy
so they said they'd mail you.

Thank you.

He's going online.

Downloading the information
from his hard drive.

Damn it!

He's gone offline.
We don't have everything.

Give us what we have.

OK, we've got 80% of the files,
and his inbox.

We're interested in anything
to do with Japan.

A big sale.

It's blocked.
We need a code word.

Jo, I need the name
of every Kansas City player

from the last thirty years.

On my way.

We can try up to 10,000
words in five seconds.

Rhienhardt.

Brett Rhienhardt,
MVP of the winning flamer team from 85,

with four goals and three assists.

If my memory serves me right.

Oh, my God - Global Cordon.

What is it?

It's a shopping list of American arms.

High-tech military stockpile.

And they're selling it to Japan?

No,Japan are the intermediaries.
They're selling to Taiwan.

Harry?

Global Cordon.

In 2005, we received intelligence
that the American government

was secretly selling arms,

at knock-down prices to countries
which bordered with major US enemies.

Global Cordon sales were not
included in any arms registers,

contravening international arms treaties
and effectively turning America

into a rogue seller of
state of the art weaponry.

When quietly approached

by an representative
of the British government,

Washington firmly denied
that Global Cordon existed.

And now we discover it does.

And it's being fronted
by Traynor Styles.

The weapons for Taiwan are clearly
intended for use against the Chinese.

If the Chinese Government find out,
they'll be an international scandal.

Gentlemen, I think we have
our bargaining chip.

For maximum impact,
this needs to come from the very top.

This is James Allan,

I need to speak to the Prime Minister's
chief of staff on a secure line.

The Prime Minister called the
White House at 9 o'clock, this evening,

threatening to expose Global Cordon
if the Americans don't sign tomorrow.

'Causing the summit to collapse.'

The White House is apparently
considering its response.

We have no idea - if or when -
Washington will call Styles,

so let's monitor all incoming calls.

'Well done, everyone.'
We've done everything we can.

In the meantime,

I suggest we all
try and get some sleep.

Oh, hello.

You didn't take
Harry's advice either, then?

No.

Drink?

So let's say Styles
tells the Japanese

not to walk out tomorrow
and we get our agreement.

Will it actually do any good?

All I know is if the summit fails,
then men like Styles will have won.

And Africa will remain
a great unsolvable mystery.

You paint such a rosy future, anyone
would think you were a pessimist.

You should get some sleep.

So should you.

We had an offer on
our family house today.

That’s good.

Are you going to take it?

Well, it’s the only home
I’ve ever known,

but we don't exactly
have a choice.

My father's brilliance has
resulted in us losing everything.

And I'm still waiting to hear from Harry
whether they can reduce his sentence.

I reckon he'll get seven years,
be out in five.

He’ll still have a life to live.

What do you think? Do you think
five years sounds about right?

It sounds about right.

In the meantime, here’s to insomnia.

Cheers.

Adam, there's an incoming phone call
from Washington DC for Traynor Styles.

- It's the White House.
- We need to hear that conversation.

No, it's an encrypted line.
There's no way of listening in.

- sh*t.
- It doesn't matter.

Someone in Washington is calling
Styles at 4 in the morning.

Something's happening.

This could be it, Ros.

Maybe the Americans
are backing down.

- Good morning, Mr Baxter.
- Good Morning, Mr President.

Today is indeed a momentous day.

- Feeling optimistic, Mr President?
- I’m always optimistic.

In my line of work,
and in particular in my continent,

you learn to have faith that
good will win out in the end.

I expect it’s the same
in your profession.

The British Government is certainly
looking for a positive outcome.

- And you?
- I'm just a civil servant.

Is that what they call it now?

I don't know what you mean.

I just find at these summits,
that nothing is quite as it seems.

- Good morning, Mr Allan.
- Good morning, Mr President.

Sekoa and Becker
are on their way.

No sign of the Americans
or the Japanese.

Where the hell are they?

Adam? Japanese, lift three.
We've got them.

Morning, Minister.

Are you looking forward
to continuing the talks?

- Very much.
- Morning.

'Surprise, surprise.
Here comes Styles. '

Secretary of State,

I trust you slept well?

Pleasure to have you
back with us, Mr Styles.

They're all in.

Harry, I think we've done it.

They're going to sign.

'Red call.
Repeat, this is a red call. '

- Why was I red-called?
- We're patching Jo in now.

'MI6 have been conducting
routine surveillance

of all domestic politicians
and countries attending Havensworth.

'They've recorded a conversation
in the home of Solomon Kabate,

'a leading opposition politician
in West Monrassa. '

It's Gabriel Sekoa's country.

'We should prepare for a
immediate seizure of power.'

'If the Havensworth operation
is successful,

'and Sekoa dead and there will be
no way to stop us.'

The Havensworth operation.

What reason would they have
for k*lling Sekoa?

He’s the future.

There may be certain people in Africa
who don’t want the future.

But why k*ll him here?

Pour enrager les hôtes.

Maximum publicity will ensure
no African president

ever lifts his head
above the parapet again.

Ruth, get MI6 to find Solomon Kabate.

We need to know what he knows.
Authorise extraordinary procedures.

I want to round up all West Monrassan
dissidents currently in the UK.

That's not possible. Word would
get out that something was wrong.

That's just what James Allan
doesn't want. This could be a hoax

'aimed at stalling the agreement. '

OK then, let's screen all staff.

Interpreters, NGOs, press.
Anyone within the complex.

- We've done it.
- Do it again!

Check for any connection
to West Monrassa.

Let's call a recess.
I'll talk to James Allan.

Adam, you talk to Sekoa.

Talk to the President.
Keep everyone calm.

We have to keep this summit alive.

I expect to have a signed deal
by this afternoon,

I want to arrange a press
conference for five o’clock.

No press conference.
It's too risky.

But the publicity we can garner...

Foreign Secretary, I am authorised
by Her Majesty's Government

to protect all attendants
at Havensworth.

There'll be no press conference.

- Mr President...
- Good morning.

I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

Sorry.
Johnny Baxter, MI5.

I need to speak to you privately.

WellI'm due back into the talks soon.
Couldn't this wait until later?

It can't.

Excuse me.

Any news from MI6 on Kabate?

Not yet.
Harry, I need to speak to you...

Is the complex fully secured ?

You were saying?

I think there's a connection between
Styles and the assassination.

Harry Pearce.

To close the summit now
would be a grave error.

We’re just completing the deal.

What connection?

I've been going through
Traynor Styles' files,

to see if there's any other
connections to Taiwan.

There aren't.

But there is a file on West Monrassa.

- What does it say?
- I can't open it.

I haven't finished downloading
when Styles logged off.

We need to get
into the West Monrassa file.

We need Styles to go back online,
so we can complete the download.

We're upping security
to the highest level

and we've checked everyone
present at the conference.

- Thank you.
- Having said that,

we can not 100%
guarantee your safety.

We have no direct intelligence
to whoever is planning this.

- Yes?
- The voice on the tape?

Solomon Kabate.
He's gone AWOL.

MI6 can't find him.
We need to meet now.

- Good news?
- Not exactly, no.

We need to move you to a new room

and we're going to give you
an armed guard.

No armed guard.

If I walk around here with
bodyguards on my shoulders,

then I'm...
publicizing my fragility.

You do your job,
I do mine.

Excuse me.

Styles and Sekoa are
involved in negotiations

connected with Global Cordon.
We're trying to get the file.

Harry?

Solomon Kabate flew here
for one night last week.

Now he arrived at Gatwick
on the sunday evening.

Then he travelled into Victoria.

This is him entering Stripes
wine bar just outside the station.

He came from West Africa just
to meet somebody in a wine bar?

The thing is he never
came back out again.

Three hours later, we have footage
of him back at Gatwick, flying home.

Call the bar.

Styles is going online.

I'm downloading the Sekoa file.

Hi, is that the manager
of Stripes wine bar?

I'm really sorry.

I just think my husband
may be having an affair...

Agent.
What the hell's that?

I dread to think.

What is clear is that Sekoa
is being nurtured

as the first line of defence against
the"Islamic threat" in Central Africa.

Is that why somebody
is trying to k*ll him?

I'm sorry...
It's just...

My husband would always go out
on sunday evenings and...

One sunday, I followed him
to outside your bar but I'm...

Could he have left with someone
through a fire exit, at the back.

Only if he was with
a member of staff.

Do you use agency staff?

What agency do you use?

I need to change every member
of agency staff.

- All agency staff, please proceed...
- What's going on?

Standard security drill, apparently.
Don't worry, we get paid full whack.

Now that's a result!



'Well ladies and gentlemen,
I am proud to say that we have reached

'a consensus and that
the Havensworth agreement

'will be signed by all parties,

'at a specially arranged
press conference this afternoon.'

Exchange of staff complete and
Zaf left on the bus with them.

The complex is sealed and so long
as we keep Sekoa under wraps

everything should be fine.

Shame then that the Foreign Secretary
has just annonced

a full press conference
to sign the deal.

- I thought you told him to...
- I did!

My position is compromised if senior
figures do not respect my views

- and respond accordingly.
- Harry, everything will be fine.

- You've taken every mesure imaginable.
- You've ignored them!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.

I’m not hiding this
under a bushel.

Foreign Secretary, I am aware
that anyone about to launch a bid

to be the next Prime Minister
of this country needs serious publicity.

I just hope you end up with
the right kind of front page story.

'At the Addressing Africa summit,
they're about to sign the agreement

'which will end the subsiddies
of European and American agriculture

'and liberate economies
throughout Africa. '

We vetted every journalist
and photographer,

but I still want this to be
the quickest photo call.

We've just been looking
at the staff swap on diaspro

and there's something
I don't like.

Two phones seem to walk together

from the 3rd floor corridor
to the coach.

- Friends?
- They're too close for that.

I suspect the phones are
on the same person,

which would mean
someone is missing.

- Who?
- I'm about to find out.

Wait...
Zaf.

I've just got off the coach
with the agency staff.

The waitress I met earlier...

She's not here.

- Name?
- Michelle Lopez.

- Hang on. Jo?
- Yeah.

The two phones belong to two waitresses:

Sophie Brewster and...

Michelle Lopez.

- Yes?
- Adam.

She made the switch
on the second floor.

Zaf, check staff quarters.

Ros, stop the all waiter and barstaff
entering the media centre.

Seal off the main building.
Get CCTV of every face.

'All waiters and bar staff are
sealed off from the media centre.'

We would now like to accept
questions from the floor,

after which there will be
an opportunity for photographs.

Get me James Allan.

'No-one has worked harder for this,'

than the British
and American Governments.

Thank you.

No, the press conference
must continue.

He doesn't leave quietly.

Mr President...

Patch me to Adam Ros.

Patching you in now.

She's not in her waitress uniform.

'Copy.
She's not in a waitress uniform. '

Ros, get ready
to cause a distraction.

Now!

Terribly sorry, gentlemen.

Really sorry.

- Close call.
- Too close.

Where is she now?

A senior operative is about
to speak to her,

then we'll hand her
over to the police.

- Who is she?
- Michelle Lopez.

Arrived in this country
from Trinidad in 1994,

went to Liverpool University,

study politics, became a lawyer
specialising in asylum,

up until two years ago.

And she's being doing
odd jobs since then.

We can trace no connection
with West Monrassa.

How do you know
Solomon Kabate?

You met him in a bar
in Victoria ten days ago

and told him you were planning
to assassinate Sekoa.

If it hadn’t been for you,
I would have.

She has no family here, and no
record of any family in Trinidad.

There's nothing about
her identity at all.

You think she's not real?

'My family comes from
the north of the country,

'this area is the home
of the opposition. '

'Gabriel Sekoa
does not like opposition. '

OK Ruth, contact the immigration.

Get me the names of every young woman
who arrived from West Monrassa in 1994.

See if any are un-accounted for.

Why would you want to k*ll somebody
who isn't even from your own country?

You leave a successful career
as a lawyer,

you get a job
as a agency waitress.

You get a job here in the summit.

You must have been
planning this for long time.





Baptiste Kadala.

Born in 1977.

Your father was George Kadala,

a journalist who was k*lled
in a plane accident in 1994,

along with his wife,
your mother Marrianne.

You came to London in March 1994
and disappeared shortly afterwards.

In May 1994, Michelle Lopez
first came into existence.

It wasn't an accident.

What wasn't?

The plane crash...

- It was shot down.
- Have you got any proof of that?

Hundreds of millions of pounds
of Government' money

had been syphoned into
Gabriel Sekoa's personnal bank account.

My father was about to publish
evidence when his plane went down.

And you came here.

I came here to escape.

I changed my identity.

I was sixteen.

And twelve years later
you tried to k*ll him for revenge?

Not just revenge.

Last year Gabriel Sekoa’s army
started to forcibly remove people

from their villages in the north

to a huge shanty town
outside of Beauville,

the biggest city in the north.

There’s no food,
no sanitation, nothing.

I believe Gabriel Sekoa
is going to attempt a genocide.

He’s gathered the northern
population into one city

to make the operation
simpler and easier.

He’s planning to k*ll my people.

How could Sekoa get away
with an operation like that?

Now that he's signed the Havensworth
agreement, he is an African hero.

He can do what he wants.

You people don't understand
countries like mine.

Don't you see what you've done?

This summit has given him
everything he ever wanted.

Respect, recognition.

So when in a month's time
when he kills my friends...

my family...

you won't lift a finger.

You’ll brush it under the carpet
like you always do.

Put out a press release.

Express concern.
And do nothing!

Like you always do.

Do you have a family?
Wife? Children?

Imagine if they were yours.

Stay with her.

- Congratulations Mr Baxter.
- Thank you, sir.

- Would you excuse us for a second?
- Please.

Can have a word?

Baptiste Kadala claims Sekoa is about
to attempt a genocide on his own people.

- And you believe her?
- Well she was prepared to die

to make her point.

I want to know if Traynor Styles'
deal with Sekoa,

has any connections
with her allegations.

I want to find out
what Styles knows.

How?

I'm gonna write to him.

We'll need to hack into Styles'
secure messenger service,

which is tricky to pull off.
But we should be OK

if I can analyse the codes from
the last downloads in time.

Malcolm?

- Can you do it?
- Give me ten minutes.

'Thank you.'

Planes and biological agent.

Sekoa’s using Global Cordon
air power to attack his own people.

The American military have a variety
of gases and biological agents

that could be used
to decimate specific targets.

Somewhere as tightly packed
as the Beauville shanty town

a biological weapon
sprayed from an aeroplane

could k*ll hundreds of thousands
in one attack.

And no-one would
ever know the source.

That’s why it was so important
to get the Havensworth deal,

so that he’d be left alone
to settle old scores.

The Americans won’t touch him

because they’d be implicated
through Global Cordon

and we won’t because
he’s in the front row

of the Havensworth photograph
next to our Foreign Secretary!

James Allan will want proof.

We can’t afford to wait for proof.
Sekoa’s leaving tomorrow morning.

Adam.

Adam!

Mr Sekoa?

MI5, may I speak to you?

I've been asked
by the British Government

to give you a full summary
of what took place this evening.

We arrested and interrogated
the potential assassin.

Her name is Baptiste Kadala.

Do you know her?

No, who is she?

She's the daughter of a journalist
who died in a plane crash,

twelve years ago.

He claimed to have evidence

that you were laundering
public money into private accounts.

She believes you k*lled him.

What a nonsense.
I've never even heard of that man.

She's clearly a highly
dellusional young woman,

but that makes her all
the more dangerous.

For example, she seems to believe

that you're planning to attack the
people in the north of your country.

Well, as you say,
she's clearly dellusional.

Excuse me a second.

Well, Mr Baxter,
I appreciate all you've done.

Thank you.

Have you received
any messages of congratulation?

No.
Should I have?

Not even from Global Cordon?

President Sekoa has just filed
an official complaint of harassment

against the Goverment officer
Johnny Baxter.

He would have gone public
with a press conference

pulling out
of the Havensworth agreement,

Citing r*cist and patronising behaviour
by our own intelligence services.

Except that I have offered him
free and uninhibted movement

with the hotel from now on.

Tomorrow morning he will be
given a private helicopter,

from the hotel to the nearest airport
and he will fly home from there.

Any of you go anywhere near him,

you’re out of a job.
Is that clear?

Sekoa is planning a genocide
against his own people.

Do you have any proof
of that accusation?

You're letting him get
away with mass m*rder.

So what if I am?

Our PM told me to get
a high-profile deal at this summit.

I have a deal
and you are not stopping it.

Is that what Havensworth
is about, Foreign Secretary ?

Damn right that's what it's about!

You think this summit is actually
going to change Africa? Dream on.

That continent is nothing but an
economical albatross round our necks,

a continent of genocidal maniacs
living in the dark ages.

Havensworth is about
garnering a bit of decent PR,

getting ageing rock stars
off our back

and granting the opportunity to give
our Prime Minister a decent send-off.

As well as putting yourself
in the front line to take over.

Harry, you will disband
the MI5 presence here forthwith.

'As delegates prepare
to leave this morning

'the Havensworth summit
has been declared

'the most successful for years.'

'Amongst the many representatives
of G8 and African nations

'attending the conference,
special praise was singled out

'for the West Monrassan
president Gabriel Sekoa

'seen as the chief architect of what
many are calling an historic agreement.'

'After nearly 40 years
of western economies crippling... '

I suggest we go somewhere
where no-one can hear us.

Solomon Kabate is a very good man.

It was he who brought
to my attention what is going on

in the north of this country,
in Beauville.

The planned m*ssacre?

The African continent
suffers a terrible affliction.

Men like Gabriel Sekoa.

But for every rogue leader in Africa,

there are 20 decent governments
trying to make the best

of an impossible situation.

We're being held up
by western governments

who constantly use the excuse
of poor african governance

to justify not reducing
their own subsidies.

We had to have this agreement.
Sekoa was the talisman he was essential.

But he had to be stopped.

You knew?

You knew that...

He has to be stopped.

It is in your power, Mr Baxter.

Take this.

It may help you.

How can we let him get away
with this? He’s a criminal.

He’s a mass m*rder*r.

We’ve completed our operation,
end of story.

Not necessarily.

We have a weapon
we’ve completely forgotten about.

- What?
- Not what - who.

Baptiste Kadala wanted to be
a martyr for her country.

She was prepared to k*ll
to save her people.

Let's give her the chance to do it.

We give her back her weapon,
give her a means of escape

and let her complete
her operation.

That’s state-sponsored terrorism.
You have no evidence.

Yes I do.

Classified West Monrassan
government files

detailing the military campaign
against Beauville.

Where did you get this?

I'd rather not divulge that.

The date of the campaign is next week.

Sekoa was just waiting for Havensworth
to give him the support he needs.

I could pass it on to James Allan
he could raise the issue...

Or you could just put it straight in
the shredder. Save him the trouble.

Allan knows we're holding Baptiste.

If we make a move
without his mandate,

we could be prosecuted for m*rder.

That wouldn't just threaten
the existence of this unit,

that would risk everything.

Then find a way to neutralise Allan!

Come on, Harry!
Sekoa's helicopter leaves in an hour.

Look, we set Baptiste free.

We follow her.

We get to her just too late
to save Sekoa's life.

Baptiste gives herself up,
she gets a life sentence,

her people get a new government
and in fifteen years we release her

to a hero’s welcome back
in her own country.

We are officers of the state.

We do not make moral
or political judgments.

We do not play God.

What God is going
to save these people?!

Yes!

Adam, I've got the MI6 file

on Baptiste Kadala's parents
plane crash.

Go on.

The plane did have damage
consistent with a m*ssile attack.

MI6 kept it quiet because at the time
Sekoa was deemed to be "a good thing".

I want no-one else involved.

The next hour.
Never happened.

I'm here to offer you a deal.

We'd like you to have this
in your possesion

when you're arrested.

It'll make it clear
why you did it.

What is it?

It's an accident report on
your parents' plane crash.

It confirms that a m*ssile
caused the plane to come down.

Thank you.

You need to go now.

I won't let you down.

May I have a word,
Foreign Secretary?

This has to be very important.

I'm closing a high successful summit.

I have to warn you that Baptiste
Kadala has escaped our detention.

- Well find her.
- We have no idea where she is.

- Well, do something!
- What do you suggest?

For my people.

Clear the area!

Move away!
I said move away!

Stay down!

She's unarmed!

She's unarmed!

She's unarmed!

She's under control!

Calm down.

Keep your hands up above your head.

Very slowly.

She's disarmed!

She's under control.

Everyone stay calm.

Lower your weapons.

Suspect is armed.

sh**t her.

She has no weapon!
She has no weapon!

I said she's...

I said she had no weapon!

I said she had no weapon!

Gabriel Sekoa will be buried tomorrow
in the West Monrassan capital.

He will receive a state funeral
with full honours.

Our Prime Minister will attend,
along with other world leaders,

in a show of support
to the whole of Africa.

It wasn’t necessary to k*ll her.

That woman could have held us
to ransom for the next 30 years!

Someone had to take control
of the chaos of your creation!

I will of course
be commissioning a full enquiry.

The report’s findings are likely
to incriminate you and your unit.

I anticipate your position
becoming untenable.

Well, when you do that,
just bear in mind the following.

'You're letting him get
away with mass m*rder.'

'So what if I am?!'

'Our PM told me to get
a high-profile deal at this summit.'

'I have a deal
and you are not stopping it.'

'Is that what Havensworth
is about, Foreign Secretary ?'

'Damn right that's what it's about.'

'You think this summit is actually
going to change Africa? Dream on.'

'That continent is nothing but an
economic albatross around our necks,

a continent of genocidal maniacs
living in the dark ages.'

'Havensworth is about... '

I'm proud to say
our surveillance techniques

at Havensworth
were second to none.

Congratulations, everyone.

The... Prime Minister
wishes to pass on his thanks

for a highly professional three days

and I would like you to know that
no blame is being attached to you

for the k*lling of President Sekoa.

Any enquiry that takes place
will be conducted

in a sensitive
and understanding manner.

'The Prime Minister described
the assassination of Gabriel Sekoa

'as a deliberate attempt by t*rrorists

'to derail the Havensworth
trade agreement.'

'He insisted Havensworth
will be seen as the moment

'the Western world embraced the need
to help Africa once and for all.'

'In West Monrassa itself,
the news of President Sekoa's death

'has caused a popular uprising
in the north of the country.'

'With opposition parties
demanding free and fair elections.'

'In Washington, US trade secretary
Traynor Styles is now favourite

'to become the new American
Ambassador to the UN.'

'Styles' pivotal diplomatic role
in the Havensworth Agreement

'is seen as a key factor
in his growing popularity.'

'Council tax in England is set
to be increased by 4% on average...'

You said you could help!

You said you could
reduce his sentence!

Ros, I said I'd try.
I never promised...



It wasn't possible.
I'm sorry.

He'll be 83, for Christ’s sake.

He'll probably die in there.

- When did you find this out?
- Just before the summit began...

But you didn't tell me?

The sensitive nature of your work...

To hell with that, you lied!

You knew all along you could
do nothing and you lied to me!

That's not true!

Did you tell Adam?

How dare you...

How dare either of you treat me
with such contempt. What is this?

The old boys’ club?

Keep everything from the new girl
in case she can’t cope?

- That is not the case.
- Well, what then?!

What right do you have to make
judgements on my personal life?

Your own isn't exactly
a shining example, is it?

The fact that your own existence
is a walking disaster zone

does not give you the right
to make judgments on other people's!

- Hi.
- Hi.

I just wanted to say...

about Ros...

that you were right.

It isn't your fault, Harry.

Thank you.

Good night.

'Hello?'

Hello, mate.

Listen, I'm in the airport and...

I can’t decide between
the big present and the little present.

The big one!

I thought you’d say that.

Listen, can you tell Jenny
I’ll be back in about an hour?

'OK. Bye.'

Bye.

I love you.

Is there a problem?

Yes, Ruth.
I think there is.

I will sort this out.
I promise.

I've seen it done, Harry,
too many times.

We've done it to too many people.

Harry.
You're covering for someone.

Ruth Evershed is a person
we should be looking for.

Bringing you down was just
a small part of that plan.

Ruth's been arrested
trying to escape.

She's been charged with m*rder.

I will k*ll you!

You have no idea
what you've got yourself into!
