09x03 - Paroxocybin

[bunniefuu]

It's not really you.
Get away from me.

Whatever it is you want,
Vaughn, you're not getting it.

What's it been like?
What's what been like?

Being Lucas North, of course.
Good to see you, John.

Marry me, Ruth. It's the funeral.
It's made you emotional. No,

it's made me see clearly.
I can't, Harry.

Right, who have we got here?

You're alive. Maya.

[Leave me alone.]

I've been thinking
about why I said no.

Ruth, you don't have to...

Because it would be a lie.
Things we've seen together,
things we've done.

It's been 15 years, John,
don't talk to me like you know me.

I'm not the same person any more.
And I don't need YOU.

So why are you here?

PHONE RINGS

'...Initial reports claim...' Harry?

Home Secretary, could you spare
a couple of minutes?

I have Ruth Evershed with
me, our Russian analyst.

'Good evening. We've intercepted
an email'

to the AFF cell in London. We
think they're trying to acquire
a WMD. It's a nerve agent

called Paroxocybin. It was developed
in the '60s from algae.

We and the Russians
worked on derivatives. 'It was
banned, wasn't it?'

We signed a treaty with Khrushchev.
It was destroyed. The email claims
one wasn't. That it's in Azakstan.

and the AFF plan to use
it against Russian troops.

Well, have you told Moscow?

You're asking me to share
intelligence with the FSB?

With people who've spent the last
all in the past, Russia's an ally.'

We do business with them.

There's a risk Russia could
acquire the Paroxocybin for itself.

'Well, send one of your
officers to witness the operation.'

Home Secretary, with
all due respect...

'I'm not interested, Harry,
in your old-fashioned beliefs.'

Either do the job
or get out of the way and let
someone else do it for you.

Tariq, are you getting this?

'Yeah, got it.'

RUSSIAN IN TRANSLATION:

Lucas, have some vodka with me.

It's the real thing, none
of that crap made in your country.

Bottom's up. Budem zdorovy, Viktor.

To many more cooperations, I hope.

What's going on?
g*n c*ck

No! No!

'What are you doing? Stop! No! No!
Lucas my friend,

'they're t*rrorists. They were here
to steal the Paroxocybin.'

This was NOT part of the deal!

Get this footage
to the Home Secretary.

Show him what full co-operation
with the Russians really looks like.

Harry... Tonight.
Sir? I think you should
take a look at this.

There's another AFF member.

Shall I alert Lucas?

We can't just let him go.

Tango 1,
we have the position of an extra...

The man just lost his country.
I won't be responsible for
him losing his life too. Harry?

Harry, are you sure about this?
Doubting my judgment?

No, no, I'm just saying perhaps we
should... We've done what was asked.
That's an end to it.

NEWSREADER: 'Relations between Russia
and the former Soviet state
of Azakstan are fraught today

after the m*rder of 23 ethnic
Russians in the northwest
town of Pazwar.

'Moscow is pointing the finger
at the Azakstan Freedom Front

'and accusing the Azakstan
Government of turning a blind eye.

'A little while ago I spoke to
William Towers, the Home Secretary,

'and asked him about Britain's
response to these recent events.

'Home Secretary, today you banned
the Azakstan Freedom Front

'from London after 15 years.
Why did you do that?

'It's quite a simple decision,
Kirsty. We cannot tolerate

'in this country any organisation
which supports ethnic cleansing.

'But you know, Home Secretary,
that the AFF has denied any
involvement in these murders.

'You're simply
caving in to pressure from Moscow.

'Our course of action is determined
by Britain's stand on human rights.
It's as simple as that.'

SHOUTING VOICES GET CLOSER

Ambassador.
A small gesture of our appreciation.

Your favourite, I believe.

You're very well informed.

Please, walk with me.

I wanted to thank you
personally for your help
with our Azakstani friends.

I noticed it didn't
stop you invading anyway.

Russia is simply protecting
the interests of its citizens,
just as you did in the Falklands.

And of course the two are identical.

There is one small detail. An
insurgent's slipped through the
net. A man called Azis Aibek.

Really? You weren't aware of this?

I was told MI5 had the Azakstan
operation under
satellite surveillance.

Well, you know how unreliable
electronic intelligence can be.

Cloud cover, microwave
interference, even sunspots.
They all take their toll.

Of course, the wrong kind of sun.

Unfortunately, Aibek's escape has
now become a more serious matter.

For all of us.

We believe he's on his way to London
to acquire a second sample of
Paroxocybin. That's impossible.

Everything was destroyed in the '60s.

It was all witnessed, documented.

As it was in Russia. Nevertheless,
as we both know, some survived.

And where is this second sample
supposed to be? Here, in London.

Unfortunately our source was
unable to be more specific.

Was? He is no longer
available to answer questions.

Some things never change.

I have to differ.

Our countries now vote
together in the UN, you and I
freely pass information between us.

It is a new world, Sir Harry.
We'd appreciate him being returned
to us at the earliest opportunity.

Weather permitting, of course[!]

We're not in the business of
doing the FSB's dirty work for them.

Aibek is a desperate man.

He will have worked out
who helped us in Azakstan.

I can assure you he won't hesitate
to use this weapon in London,
any more than he would in Moscow.

Common enemies need common friends.
Sir Harry.

We have new guidelines
about accepting gifts from
foreign government officials.

I'm sure you understand.

'Hello?' Maya...it's me.

'I thought you'd hang up.'

Just leave me alone, John.

I want to see you again.

I want to tell you everything.
Tonight.

I don't want to see you.

'I don't believe you.
I'm texting you my address.'

Whatever happens...

'I'm not going to disappear again.
Ever.'

Azis Aibek, one of the founding
members of the AFF in Azakstan.

A geography teacher for ten years,
he was radicalised in the '90s

after his brother was imprisoned
for "anti-Soviet propaganda".

The brother later
died in a Soviet Gulag.

Aibek's last known sighting,
according to the Russians,
Lake Vhrul, Azakstan.

The Russian's are telling
us there's a loose end.

They claim Aibek is coming
here to acquire Paroxocybin,
which is impossible.

So what's the real reason?

Moscow's determined
to discredit the AFF.

The more they do so, the more
international support they'll get
for their invasion of Azakstan.

Catching a known t*rror1st on
UK soil would play into that.

And what better than to have British
Intelligence do all the grunt work.

Quite. So our task is to determine if
Aibek really is a threat, and head
off a potential PR coup for Moscow.

OK, Beth distribute Aibek's
details European-wide, notify all
ports of entry.

Dimitri, get on to known
sympathisers of the AFF in the UK.

Ruth, can you dig up everything on
the original Paroxocybin project?

OK. That's it. Thank you.

Go ahead, Ruth. I know you
want to say it. "I told you so"?

If Aibek is a threat and the Home
Secretary realises we let him go...

I can deal with Towers.

It isn't just Towers.

We have to have a strategy.

I don't need you to fight
my battles for me, Ruth.

The Home Secretary wants to see you.

Sounded urgent.

I've just had the Russian
Ambassador on the phone.

He thinks you're an obstructive,
pompous, dinosaur.

Very diplomatic[!] And you know
what, I'm inclined to agree.

All he wanted was co-operation in
the w*r against terror. We don't use
that phrase. For God's sake!

The only reason the Russians
want Aibek is to justify
their invasion of Azakstan.

It is not the job of
British Intelligence to
aid in that objective.

The Russians believe he'll use it
here and your job is to apprehend
t*rrorists!

If you're not up to it,
just say the word.

The Russians want a man on The Grid.

I'm sorry?

They need reassurance.

An FSB officer at Thames House?

That's absurd. There's a real threat
here and your Russian expert agrees.

You've spoken to Ruth? She's an
adviser, Harry. She's there
to give me advice.

I've told the Ambassador it won't
be a problem. So don't let it be.

The Home Secretary asked
me to pass on his thanks.

He's grateful for your help.
I'm sorry?!

In future, Ruth,
I'd appreciate it if you'd come to me
before going behind my back.

What was I supposed to do?

He asked me for my opinion so
I gave it to him. Apparently.

Oh, no this is ridiculous.

Harry, we have to work together.
We are working together, Ruth.

This is what it looks like.
Sir? What?

Viktor is arriving shortly,
here is his report on Paroxocybin.

Sir Harry Pearce, I'm honoured.

Has he been screened?

Yes. And most thoroughly,
if I may say so.

Get him fixed up.
Meeting room, ten minutes.

Any news on Aibek? Nothing so far.

This is the original KGB
report on Paroxocybin.

Symptoms start with convulsions,
involuntary urinations
and defecations.

Death by asphyxiation
follows within two hours.

Paroxocybin is contagious.
It would take three days
to infect a million people.

In less than a week it could infect
the population of Moscow, or London.

Any antidotes?

Research stopped after the ban.
There is no known treatment. Is it
easily transportable?

To remain inactive, it needs to be
kept at minus nine degrees Celsius.

Once it comes into contact with
air, it vaporises and produces
a colourless, odourless gas.

It's our assessment that, if
Aibek acquires Paroxocybin, he
will attempt to use it in the UK.

Why would he do that?

Because Russia and Great
Britain are allies, Sir Harry.

We worked together on
the Azakstan mission.

As far as the AFF is concerned,
that makes you a legitimate target.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

French security reported that Aibek
boarded a Eurostar this morning -
he's been in London over an hour.

When the French intel came in, I ran
a probability logarithm predicting
possible locations of Aibek.

I'm re-sectioning the live
facial recog.

That's him!

What's that he's carrying?
Get in closer.

I can try a thermal analysis.

It's lined with some sort of
insulator, he's keeping it below
freezing.

Then he has the Paroxocybin.

We have to stop him
before he releases it.

'Got him on CCTV,
east side Trafalgar Square.

'He'll head for a crowded area to
get maximum exposure
for the release.'

CO19 are on full alert.
Target approaching
junction with Charing Cross.

'Approaching destination.
Any more information on the target?

'800 metres from possible
interception point.

'Change of plan, target is
entering Charing Cross Underground.'

Tango 1, Tango 2...take the
east Charing Cross entrance.

'Tango 3, Tango 4, Lyntall Street.'

Dimitri, Viktor that way!
Beth with me.

We have to work on the principle
that he is going to release it.

Tariq, give me directions.

Charing Cross, two underground
lines, nine exits onto four different
streets,

four internal levels, six platforms.

'I have access to the CCTV.

'Tango 1 and 2 have reached
the east entrance.

'He's going to release
it on the tube.'

Seal the entrances, no-one in,
no-one out. There are thousands
there. They'll be trapped.

If he releases the Paroxocybin now,
they're as good as dead anyway.
We have to contain the damage.

I have visual.

Target on the Bakerloo Line
second level concourse.

Upper entrance. Eastbound platform.

'I've lost him in the crowd.
Do you have a visual?'

BETH: Alpha 1, negative.

Alpha 2, no visual.

HARRY: 'Do you have a visual?

'We need to stop him
before that train moves.'

DOORS BEEP

I can't find him, he must be
on the train. Is he on?

Negative in this carriage.

Is he on?
I've got an eyeball on target.

Has he got the package?

'Confirmed.'

'Can we take him out?'

Negative, I do not have clean
line of sight.

Target's on the run.
He must have seen us.

Get out of the way. Move. Excuse me.

Stop him! Stop him! MOVE!

Target's made a drop.

I'll take care of it, go go go.

Security Services,
clear the platform please!

PA SYSTEM: 'This is a security
announcement. Will all passengers

'please evacuate
this underground station,
as quickly as possible.'

'I repeat. This is a security
announcement.' Package retrieved.

Is it intact?
If it broke on impact we
have 40 seconds until contamination.

Trains are on hold, code red.

Enact level eight protocol.

RUTH: 'Beth, we need to know
if the canister is broken.'

SHE PANTS

'Beth, is it broken?'

There's nothing here.

'The bag's prepped
but no Paroxocybin. He must
have been on his way to get it.'

Then he still is.

He's gone. Re-group.

Tariq, check the vicinity,
he can't have gone far.

OK, starting a localised search.

Found him!

Target identified near Central
University, science block,

Norton Place.
You're only half a mile away.

They're two minutes away.
He's at Central University.
What have I done?

Now's not the time
for self reflection.

Tariq, get CO19 over here, seal off
all exits. Dimitri, stay here.

Beth, first floor. You, with me.

Yes? Dr Kirby? Yes.

My name's Azis Aibek,
I'm a friend of Professor Omosheva.
Did he call you about me?

Professor Omosheva's dead.

Dead?

You'd better come in.

How did Professor Omosheva die?

A traffic accident.

This can't be true.

Did you know him well?

He was good man.

I'm sure.

What exactly is it you want,
Mr Aibek?

Professor Omosheva told me
about Paroxocybin.

I'm sorry? He told me about the
sample he hid, and the one you had.

It was to be a last resort,
of course, never used.

But if the Russians knew we had it...

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

I'd like you to leave now.
You are our only hope, Dr Kirby.

Without you,
my country will be destroyed.

I don't want to have
to call security.

I'm sorry.

Me also.

We have to assume Aibek is still
trying to acquire the Paroxocybin.

Well, it needs to be
stored at below zero.

There must be a lab.
Anywhere with a suitable freezer?

Dozens -
it's the main science block.

Check the faculty list, see if any of
them were involved in the original
Paroxocybin research team.

Come on!

Come on! Meg, your daughter.

You care about her?

I will find her, Dr Kirby,
and k*ll her.

Tell me where
the Paroxycybin is being stored.

No faculty or student cross matches.
I'm widening out to family
and friends.

I've got something. There's
an S Kirby on the sixth floor.

OK, so a Dr Kirby worked
at Porton Down in the '60s.

He worked on the Paroxocybin
project. Aibek's got to be there.

RUTH: 'Sixth floor, office 18.

HARRY: 'Lucas take the stairs,
Dimitri cover the lift.'

Clear the area now! Move! Move!

MOBILE RINGS OUT

'Hello?' Is that Meg?

Yeah, who's this?

My name is Azis, I'm a
student of your father.

Something terrible has happened.
I don't know what to do.

W...w...what's happened?

I came for a tutorial
and he was on the floor.

He told me he has been attacked,
and I must call you.

OK, let me talk to him.

They have taken him to hospital.

He gave me an envelope to give to
you in person. Come here. Now. Do
you know the address? Moment please.

HARRY: 'What has Kirby said?'

That he didn't tell him.
'You believe him?'

He was in a pretty bad way,
I don't see why he'd lie.

'Any traces in the labs?'
C019 are reporting they're clean.

'Bring him in.'

Now you see why we deal with
these people the way we do.

Meg? Yes. Azis. How's my father?

May I come in?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm not going to lie to you, Meg.
There is no envelope.

Your father has been taken
by the Russian Secret Service.

They want something
called Paroxocybin.

I don't... I don't understand.

I think you do, Meg.
You must take me to where it is.

OK, this is ridiculous,
I want you to go.

What do you do, Meg? Your job?

Nothing, I'm a... I'm a secretary.

Meg Kirby. MSc, PhD,
Faculty of Molecular Biology.

Paroxocybin was never
intended to be a weapon.

But once its potential as a nerve
agent was recognised, all other
avenues of research were shut down.

Until the '64 treaty?

We were told to wipe Paroxocybin
off the face of the earth.

I couldn't agree with that.

It was a unique organism
and we'd hardly scratched
the surface of its potential.

Who knows what benefits it might
bring? So you kept some back?

And Professor Omosheva?

He felt the same way.

We agreed to do what we could to
preserve Paroxocybin for posterity.

Him in Azakstan, me here.
It was the right thing to do.

Things have changed.

We need to know where you're
keeping the sample, Dr Kirby.

So you can start research
on a cure for cancer?

So we can prevent a known t*rror1st
from acquiring a nerve agent.

He won't find it.

Aibek is a resourceful man.

He found the sample in Azakstan.
And he found you.

That was different, he had help.

And I am not Professor Omosheva.

He wont give up until he
finds it, don't you understand that?

The sample is quite safe. And when
he does find it, and uses it here

or in Azakstan or in Russia, are you
prepared to accept responsibility for
the thousands of lives it will take?

He will not find it. You're willing
to risk it falling into the wrong
hands?

I'm not willing for it
to fall into any hands.

I am not a violent man.

That's good news.

But this isn't about me.

Azis, I can't
tell you what you want to know.

You understand? I... I can't...

You WILL tell me.

No.

SHE SIGHS

RUNNING WATER

Please.

Just tell me! Please!

You're what, 62, 63?
You can't live forever.

You must have made a plan B.

What if you got knocked down?

Posterity's not much use
when you're lying under a bus.

You must have told someone else.

I told no-one. I don't believe you.

You're free to believe
as you wish, Mr Pearce.
It doesn't alter the facts.

You're concerned about what
would happen to the Paroxocybin
if you told us where it was?

What if we gave you our word
that it would be taken to
Porton Down and stored safely?

Your word means nothing,
however well intentioned.

People move on, regimes change.

In a few years, weapons research
would start all over again.

We could guarantee its
destruction... You could witness it.

The last thing I want is for
Paroxocybin to be destroyed.

You don't trust us to keep it,
you don't trust us to destroy it.

Meanwhile, you're willing to risk a
t*rror1st getting his hands on it.

I've told you the
sample is quite safe...

[Don't be so bloody naive!]

Please, no more.

I'll ask my father. No more, no more.

CCTV's got nothing on Aibek.

I bet he's sticking to side streets.
Or he's gone to ground.

Storing Paroxocybin needs an
un-interruptible electricity supply.

We should check anywhere
with such a facility.

Beth, get on to the utility
companies, see what they have.

Dimitri, run a trace on all
associates of Dr Kirby from the
'60s and check out his family.

If he didn't talk,
Aibek may try someone else.
MOBILE RINGS

Someone's calling Kirby's mobile.

Tariq, do a cell site analysis.

Beth, get this to Harry now.

OK. Put me through.

Hello? Who is this?

I need to speak to Dr Kirby.

I'm afraid Dr Kirby's been admitted
to hospital. I'm his registrar,
Dr Henley.

I'm Dr Kirby's daughter.

I need to speak to him. It's urgent.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Please! It's very important.

Hang on a second,
I'll see what I can do.

We have an address. You have a call.

Hello? Dad? Dad, it's me.

Meg. Are you OK?

I'm with a man called Azis Aibek.

I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

No, it's OK.

I'm sorry.

Pactum serva.

Pactum serva.

Pactum serva, Dad.

What's it mean?

It means you've lost.

'ETA one minute, Lucas.'

Tell me! No.

It's OK.
SHE SPLUTTERS AND COUGHS

I didn't tell him.

I didn't tell him.

I have to talk to my father.

Of course.

I...I didn't tell him anything.

I know.

But you're going to tell me.

Don't move!

I think we need to have a talk.

Get him back to The Grid.

What happened?
I tried everything I could.

It's my fault.

She fell unconscious after you left.

I couldn't bring her back.

I'm sorry.

Did she say anything? No.

Aibek? He got away.

Back to square one, then?

Yeah, back to square one.

He m*rder*d her, Harry.

Are you sure about this?

When I left the room,
Meg was definitely alive.

And Viktor? He claims she
slipped into unconsciousness.

I called the morgue and there
are no signs of a ligature,

but if he drowned her, the post
mortem results would look the same.
KNOCKING

Harry, our Russia
intercept team has intel.

There's an order for a Medevac
flight, London to Moscow.

The Paraxocybin
must be re-admitted to cryogenic
storage within 72 hours.

They've been using us
to track Aibek. Why?

They want the Paraxocybin
for themselves.

It appears I have allowed us to be
played by Moscow right
from the start.

Well, not right from
the start, Harry.

It wasn't why you let Aibek go.

But by allowing him to
escape I did the Russian's a
favour and I have to admit...

that was my mistake.

A mistake of judgment, maybe.

But not of decency.

Sometimes you have to do
what's necessary, Harry.

Dr Kirby.

Is it about Meg?

I'm afraid so.

I'm sorry.

How did she die?

She drowned. She was drowned.

I'm afraid she told Aibek
what he needed to know.

No. Never. One of our officers
was with her before she died,
she told her.

No-one could blame her.

Even a trained officer in
those circumstances would
only last a few hours.

We can still save the Paroxocybin
and stop the man who did this,
Stephen. Bring him to justice.

But not without your help. You have
to tell us where the sample is.

You have a choice, Aibek.

I have no choice. It's finished.

My country is under Russian control.

I could not stop them.
Don't give up so easily.

Time to make yourself useful.

We have a plan.

You have to say this
is the perfect place.

Uninterrupted electricity,
industrial freezers.

You know Walt Disney
had his head frozen?

It's kept under The Pirates
Of The Caribbean ride in Disneyland.

Viktor, you really need to
get out more. Let's do this.

Tonight, Lucas, I would like to
take you out to dinner to celebrate.

Harry, the package is on its way.

I thought perhaps Claridges.

You know the FSB has a ghost
account there? Copy that.

Come on, Viktor. Bring your camera.
Aren't we going to follow them?

Change of plan.
That was not the deal, Lucas.

I need to witness the Paroxocybin
being destroyed. Oh, you will.

SIREN WAILS

Convoy on the move.
Backup in position.

Aibek is still out there.
We can't afford to take any chances.

Let's go.

Michelin star this year, but for me
it's still the best restaurant...

Get him! Get him!

Lucas?

Lucas?

Ambassador.

On behalf of British
Intelligence I would like to present

Viktor Barenshik
with this posthumous McGough Medal.

I'm honoured to receive this,
Sir Harry.

Viktor dedicated his life to peace
and in the end lost it
to the same cause.

This honour would have meant
a great deal to him. Thank you.

I'd like to assure you
personally, Ambassador,

that we're doing all we can to
retrieve the stolen Paroxocybin.

Isn't that right, Harry? Of course.

Thank you so much for coming,
Ambassador.

Bloody c*ck -

letting Aibek escape
with the Paroxocybin.

I understand the Azakstani
Government have persuaded
the Russians to withdraw.

Didn't have much choice, did they?

Not with the other side
possessing a WMD.

I suppose not.

Oh, get out Harry.

Home Secretary.

John, they're going to k*ll me.

Why?
Whose life did you ruin this time?

You've changed.
Why can't you believe it of me?

Listen, I just need a file.

It's in Five's archive.
It's...it's called Albany...

Look at me, John. I just want out.

I want to get this over with
and disappear. Forever.

You know what that feels like...

Yeah, I know what that feels like.

And I want you to disappear as well
but I'm not going to help you
to do it.

Have you told Harry Pearce
what we did?

Don't make me use what I know.

Come on, then.

In fact, I'll help you to do it.
Tell him now.

Uh? No?

Thought not.

Thank you for seeing us.

Did I have a choice?

Your daughter
did not break her promise, Dr Kirby.

An officer was with her
when she died.

She kept the faith, to the very end.

You lied to me. Yes.

I'm sorry. It was necessary.

So some crackpot t*rror1st
organisation could get hold of it.

Another success for
British intelligence[!]

I realise you are a
highly principled man, Dr...

Spare me the platitudes, please!

I am therefore going to tell you
something which I probably shouldn't.
The Paroxocybin, your Paroxocybin,

was taken under armed guard to Porton
Down where it will be kept
in secure storage.

But the newspaper reports said...

..not always accurate.

And the AFF?

They have nothing?

They have what they need.
Russia's belief that they possess
the power to strike back.

The driver will take you home.

If he talks you'll lose your job.

Yes.

You'd lose everything.

Possibly.

He won't talk though.
He's an honourable man.

You can't know that for sure, Harry.

Sometimes you have
to give a man a chance, Ruth...

..to show you who he really is.

You lie to me and I swear
you will never see me again.

OK. Come in.

Why did you let me
believe you were dead?

All right.

I went to prison for eight
years is that good enough?

Prison?

Why? Did you k*ll someone?

No.

Did you hurt someone?

No.

I suppose you're innocent.

No.

Why did you decide to turn up now?

A photograph...

of you.

All those years
I'd spent trying to forget...

just fell away.

I had to see you.

Is that true?

Every word.

I don't even know you any more.

Yeah, you do.

No...

I've forgotten.

[Close your eyes.

[You'll remember.

[Close your eyes.]

Does anyone else know about
your involvement with MI5? No.

Drop it!

Everything I've told
you has been true.

I have been a good traitor. Lucas,
he's been on our side all along.

I need your help.
I'm not doing this.

Do this for me and I'm gone -
forever.

The b*mb is real.
They could detonate at any moment.

Every day you make it home in
one piece is a little victory.

It's got to be for ever this time,
John.

Get Down!
