00:00You
00:30I
01:00I
01:30I
02:00I
02:30I
02:32I
03:02I
03:12Sir yes, we're here
03:15Thank you
03:17Apologies for giving you the runaround this morning flattered as I am to be deemed worthy of a three-man unit
03:23It was just two officers. Oh
03:25Yes
03:26my mistake
03:28sir
03:30Good luck today
03:46Sir Harry Pierce
03:47Over the last three days. This tribunal has had a full account of your involvement in the Albany matter
03:54And the charges made against you are of the utmost severity
03:58The facts are not in dispute
04:01You traded a state secret to a foreign power for the life of an officer with whom you have a personal
04:08Relation my personal relationships are not relevant
04:12Excuse me. I had a choice to make between two of this nation's intelligence assets the Albany deterrent and miss Everett
04:21There was a risk. I would lose Albany
04:23But I knew the technology was worthless of little value to the nation my assessment of miss Evershed was the reverse
04:31I've prepared a report
04:36Detailing her key role in several Security Service operations
04:40the discovery of the 2009 Birmingham plot
04:44Saving the life of a former section chief from far-right terrorists
04:48sacrificing her own freedom to ensure mine
04:52Her work has saved many lives often at grave cost to herself I
04:57Did not put a personal relationship above our security. I
05:01Made an operational decision in the nation's interest
05:09Please excuse me
05:21The
05:26Tribunal needs more time to examine your submissions
05:30In light of the eight weeks in forced leave that you have already had it seems unwise to further waste your expertise
05:37while we deliberate
05:40However, any return to work must be on a probationary basis
05:44Deviation from protocol will result in immediate suspension
05:49Erin Watts has been sitting in your seat
05:54You are required to retain her a section chief
05:57Do you accept the terms I serve my country in whatever capacity asked of me?
06:06Someone jammed the guillotine yes, whoever it was no doubt. They'll want me to do something in return
06:11To meet you heard from six in Senegal this morning. They found Lucas North remains
06:15They were where John Bateman said they'd be two months to go over it
06:19I still can't figure out why he wanted to get me on that rooftop
06:21I think he wanted your forgiveness, so can I see that report not while I still draw breath?
06:46You
07:01It Britain has been our loyal friend, but we can't let sentimentality stay our hand
07:07Now when action so clearly needs to be taken
07:10Absolutely, I'll be on the next flight to London. Thank you, ma'am
07:29Was a mirror Nabizhny Vostoki
07:31Mira Nabizhny Vostoki

07:48On ash представитель можно действительно на него положиться я полностью доверю гаврику
07:54I
08:00Interested in me not a loser
08:17Do I have you to thank Home Secretary for intervening in my tribunal of course it was me Harry
08:23Who else is as fond of you
08:26Unfortunately, I can only get you a stay of execution not the full pardon
08:30They want you out Harry. They'll get their way eventually
08:33No surprises. I'm aware
08:35I have not played nicely with the other children would have killed you to pick up a golf club every once in a while it
08:39May well have done. Yes
08:42Well pragmatism wins out for the moment. We need our best security people now more than ever
08:47Bin Laden's death wasn't quite the panacea would all hope for you've seen the recent JIC reports. I take it yes
08:53And for once they've got it, right
08:56If the turmoil in the Middle East sees hardline Islamists taking power
09:00We face a nightmare scenario if we don't do anything in your nightmare scenario comes to pass Britain will be the whipping boy
09:05We struggle to defend ourselves against these people as it is, but if they're the backing of their own governments
09:11Is there a long-term strategy? Yes, we reposition ourselves
09:15Start winning friends and influencing people
09:18Particularly the new big boys China Russia India Brazil and Harry that includes your side of things
09:25Share our expertise build relationships. I'm secretary. I'm an intelligence officer. Not a diplomat
09:31No, we're all gonna have to be diplomats in the new age Harry
09:44I
10:11Come back Aaron what's up is you
10:14Hey, you decommissioned Beth Bailey
10:16Her conduct during the West House operation her links with the Colombian drug cartel were unacceptable. I expect higher standards
10:24It's an honor to serve in Section D. Sir
10:27I've studied your career
10:28Just call me Harry and I wouldn't associate too closely with me if I were you you're on the fast track to great things
10:35I'm on the opposite trajectory wouldn't want any dirt to rub off. Thank you for your concern, but I've no interest in being a politician
10:44Excuse me
10:49Ruth I'd like to see any communiques that came in for me, please
10:52She'll listen up after a few years. How is your own?
10:56Break at one particularly dark moment. I actually considered gardening

11:08I
11:12Expecting something yes who processed this
11:24Who processed this
11:27Callum Reed nice to meet you you filed it low priority
11:32Yeah
11:33It was sent to a defunct 5p.o. Box from a former cutout max wick codename sharecropper
11:38Active during the 70s and 80s work for us out of London and East Berlin
11:41Look, I decoded it was nonsense guide Alzheimer's had yeah died three days ago
11:49Sorry did you know the message give me the abridged version just said you need to meet you
11:5571 hadn't worked for 20 years
11:57Low priority was I wrong
12:00Just young
12:02I
12:10Think he likes me
12:32I
13:03I
13:13Terry tell Callum to find out where they're holding max wits body
13:32I
13:55Max whip Cold War cutout mi6 officer codenamed sharecropper
14:02Murdered sometime during the last 72 hours. He was forced fed an overdose of his medication
14:08He'd been trying to contact me recently first with the message sent here
14:12And then another to my home asking me to check a dead drop he used to use
14:17It had this message from max
14:21What I'm about to tell you exceeds all your security clearances, so you didn't hear it from me
14:26Ilya and ravich Gavrik
14:28former KGB legend oligarch
14:32And as of last year Russia's new minister for international development in your opposite number during your time in Berlin
14:39This is Elena Gavrik Ilya's wife
14:42former mi6 asset codenamed tourmaline
14:45She communicated via max and became the best Soviet source of the whole in 1980s. We had Gavrik's wife
14:51CIA deputy director James Kovar we were stationed together in Berlin
14:55Jim and I turned her in 81 when I was with six. This is Cold War stuff
15:00How come it isn't declassified? Well tourmaline was never exposed never extracted. She's still in Russia still with Gavrik
15:07Why?
15:09Plans were made for her defection, but it never came to fruition
15:13If max meant she was in danger of exposure before the war
15:17If max meant she was in danger of exposure the fallout will be catastrophic
15:22The wife of a senior Russian cabinet minister exposed as a Western spy
15:29Relations with the Kremlin would simply cease we need to find out what max knew and why it got him killed whatever this is
15:35It can go no further. Okay, Ruth find whatever you can about Ilya and Elena Gavrik
15:39Dimitri sweep all dead drops that we could have used obsolete or otherwise Callum worked with Tarek
15:44Focus on his house find out who visited him in the last three days
15:49CCTV and Whitstreet went down the day before a dime
15:54One step ahead of you
15:56Building opposite his has one of the faces in the street and have you checked it from three days ago?
16:00Yep, lots of mums with prams blue rinse brigade and then this guy
16:06I
16:09Take CCTV out keeps his head down. He's been trained. There's no chance of IDing him at that distance, though
16:17Could try a motion analysis filter
16:19Tara you prepare the match fields if I do the model should I be getting my hopes up? They're rolling it out at airports
16:26Everyone moves uniquely foot full weight distribution pace. He walks like a fingerprint
16:31Okay, ready to scan for matches start with the tight sample first just the surrounding streets
16:49Well, yeah got a possible motion match getting into a car a mile away, it's a higher car
16:55Registered to a Richard Costa flat one a park walk Lambeth. Hopefully. Mr. Costa will have some answers. Come on
17:01Get to meet you to meet us there
17:24Okay, go sweep leave everything as you find it
17:54I
18:01Got a laptop
18:08And copy the hard drive won't leave a trace how long will that take this bad boy can rip two geese a second under a minute
18:14What just a countdown on the password and to the right one in 10 seconds, I'll get locked out
18:31Okay, fine, so we were never here
18:45All right, yes, but I take it personally when somebody tries to blow on my officers I called in a favor at 6
18:52They have someone on the inside at a housekeeping service who cleans for Moscow's great and good and the word is that Ilya and Elena
18:58Gavrik left Russia over a week ago on the quiet. No one's meant to know they're gone gone where?
19:05Here they're in London
19:07That's impossible. He's a Russian minister. We'd have been briefed. It will be on the news. So he doesn't want us to know he's here
19:13Gavrik sneaks into the country doing something. He doesn't want us to know about his wife your former asset wants to warn us
19:19The only way she knows how to contact you is via max whip like she did in the 80s
19:23Gavrik finds out and has wit silenced by the owner of our exploding laptop who now knows that we're on to him
19:29Gavrik worships Elena, but if he's found out she betrayed him. She's already dead Calum. What about the laptop my hard drives in bits?
19:36Tariq's working on it days. It might be recoverable, but we need to find Gavrik get surveillance on him. No, I
19:42Know this man. He's too good. He'll see you coming
19:45We have one person dead already we have to tread carefully. This is a senior politician. So no direct surveillance on Gavrik
19:57You heard him
20:11A
20:17Classified diplomatic flight from Moscow landed a RAF prize Norton nine days ago passengers unnamed one male one female
20:23Picked up by a car with government plates all other details redacted. We smuggled him in we could track him from that
20:29If Harry had the balls to let us
20:34Tell him a word
20:42Inside or outside this building you represent this nation's security services and since I brought you here you also represent me
20:49Show some respect when you brought me here. You know, I wouldn't be doffing my cap to dead white males
20:53You still think they can run it all from their armchairs?
20:55If you think Harry Pierce is one of them you need to do your homework
21:07Section chief Pat what can I say she admires my work?
21:12So Admiral you kill anyone when you're in the SPS, yeah, do you know what I miss it
21:33And another one come in knocking isn't customary around here someone helped Gavrik into the country open the back door for him and then covered
21:40it up
21:41We've pulled GPS data from the official car that picked him up at Bryce Norton. We can track it find him
21:49Harry
21:51Let us gather live in town and Gavrik find out what he's doing here you say that he's good so your team so am I
22:01You get the nearest inkling that he or his people are on to you pull back
22:10I
22:15Move them by the entrance receiving your image of it, too
22:20Probable negative a woman on her own then in bed rules never exit a building together
22:26old spies creatures of habit
22:29Stay on the woman. We need to see her face
22:41Confirmed that's Dominique
22:45No one else coming
22:50White male it's Gavrik positive ID you are a go out for three
23:00Always I'm on my break
23:10I
23:28For one are you receiving pursuing
23:34State two streets away do not let them see you
23:41You
23:46They're stopping they seem to be heading towards the denim club, okay, I'm pulling over I'm gonna follow on foot
24:10I
24:22Towers control them meeting the home secretary
24:41I
24:46Cardiologist will swing for you
24:48What are you doing skulking around in my drive?
24:50You smuggled a senior member of the Russian cabinet into this country without briefing the security services. I'd quite like to know why
24:58How dare you challenge me like this?
25:01My god after I supported you stood up for you I
25:05Couldn't say anything damn it. They were the terms terms you were about to be told
25:10I
25:12We're getting into bed with Russia Harry
25:14Secret high-level talks over the next few weeks. The aim is nothing short of a new special relationship special relationship with Russia
25:21America is getting more isolationist by the day. We need a new friend and Russia doesn't have quite the same image problems in the Middle East
25:27Gives us a chance to seem a little more chummy with whatever new regimes pop up there
25:33I'll get your head out of the Cold War Harry
25:36And all that different must these days Gafferick is their lead negotiator that man has personally executed British assets
25:43He asked for you
25:45What?
25:46Admires you great
25:48That's why he wants you involved on the security operation during the talks
25:52That's why you were reinstated
25:58There's a batch of the Russians tomorrow night
26:01Diplomatic reception do da to give them a couple reason to be here
26:05Can't keep them holed up forever. I want you there making nice with the old enemy. Can I rely on you Harry?
26:12You can rely on me I'm secretary I know you and Gavrick were
26:18Intertwined
26:21Anything I should know
26:24Nothing springs to mind
26:28Good
26:30I
27:00I
27:31I
27:41Have people already on their way. I've triggered an alarm. No you haven't
27:53Hello again, you were in the park didn't expect you to recognize me
27:59The last time you saw me I was a child
28:07I know about my mother tourmaline, Sasha
28:15That's a sketch kid your FSB tell me one thing before I kill you
28:21Do
28:23Do you ever think about the lives you ruin I don't know what you mean stop
28:29She's a spy for the West turned by you to spy on their country
28:35On her husband my father
28:38Your best Russian asset since 81
28:43Someone spun you quite a yarn
28:47Found this six weeks ago
28:51She's hidden it
28:54Request for information from you
28:58Your codes your cipher your mi5 code name led me to everything else. Do you deny you wrote it? I
29:07Don't think I can
29:10You could have
29:12Shot me the moment. I came in here, which makes me think that perhaps killing me is not your only option No
29:21Just the most attractive and of course you're not stupid enough to believe that I'm the only person who knows that your mother is still active
29:32You burn her file several contact and then you can leave
29:38I told no one else what I know
29:41Yet if you've discovered a spy you really should report it to your superiors
29:52I'm part of my parents protection detail. I'll be watching you
29:59When you send her a message you tell her that her work for you is complete and you say goodbye
30:07She's given you 30 years let her go
30:13Or I'll be seeing you again
30:21You
30:43You feeling too British for a hug too American for a handshake
30:47Oh
30:49My goodness diplomacy in action
30:52You look well Jim. We're a younger wife
30:55Janice 39 I see her talking to guys her age next thing. You know I'm on something called an elliptical trainer
31:02I know it's early, but I am damned if I'm gonna toast our reunion with pub coffee
31:08Single mall with water as a concession to the youth of the hour
31:12Miss that shit and vodka tonic on the tab
31:18So I was surprised to hear you were in London
31:21Is the interrogation begun or not at all? I'm just feeling slighted that you didn't look me up. Yeah, we're still buddies. Hell Joey
31:31Langley just doesn't want our hands in each other's pockets anymore
31:35Middle East is turning itself inside out
31:38My bosses think you guys are too close to the action that's ridiculous
31:43Yeah, maybe but Tripoli to London's only a three-hour flight
31:48So what brings you to London? I'm keeping an eye on your deal with the Russians. That's all what do you think?
31:52How did you find out about that?
31:55I'll pass on that one mr. Quizmaster
31:58Yeah, I don't know how much you know about this Harry, but this thing goes through
32:03You guys are gonna be more of a poodle to Moscow than you ever were to us
32:06So, what's it to uncle Sam? I thought he wanted out of this relationship
32:09Well, it doesn't mean he wants you to start seeing other people
32:12He's gonna knock the whole thing off balance have the president call the Prime Minister. He will when the times, right?
32:19Right now we're hoping your government's gonna come to its senses on its own. We don't want to play the bully boys
32:25Well, not this time. Anyway
32:28Yeah
32:29Why don't you stop flirting?
32:32Introduce me to the monkey you got in your back
32:34Elena Gavrick
32:37Now that is a blast from the past that's what I'm keen to ascertain
32:42Excuse me. Have you had recent contact with her?
32:45I burned her file in 84 and you were none too pleased
32:48Yeah, I don't recall there being much of a consultation process, but I wouldn't go back on it
32:53And hey, it was you that had the connection to her. I
33:00Have to go Harry
33:05I really do still think of us as friends, you know, I know
33:10You shaved two years off your wife's age. Gianna is 41. You still trying to impress me James?
33:34All right, I've reformed data from the remains of the laptop
33:40Celia Gavrick his itineraries likely protection measures blood type distinguishing features with the information you need for an assassination
33:47This is a kill order
33:49Our target took out wit now. He's coming for Gavrick. This was on the drive to architectural blueprints flat
33:55I've just seen this
33:58I've just been reviewing the security schematic
34:01It's Benin Hall the venue for the Russian reception they're gonna move on Gavrick tonight
34:06If only FSB that this would be a joy security up don't let them give you any jurisdiction of walnuts
34:12This should be interesting
34:18There's a lot of people who want Gavrick dead I still don't see where Max Whitford's in I think I do
34:23You're still running Elena
34:27Harry if Gavrick finds out that his wife is still spying for us. I'm not running Elena. I didn't write that
34:34Someone posing as me contacted Elena via max
34:37That means they know all your codes as all your mi5 communicate protocols. It's a breach of the highest level
34:45How did you get this
34:47I
34:50How did you get this
34:52Sasha Gavrick Elena's son. He's an FSB officer. He was waiting for me at home last night put a gun in my face
34:59He found that message and believes what it suggests that I'm still running her
35:03He's demanded I break off all contact immediately, which I'm powerless to do
35:08So someone wants information from Elena
35:11to get to her husband
35:13Max Whit realizes it isn't the real Harry Pierce tries to contact you and
35:18He gets killed for his trouble I have to talk to Elena see what other Intel she's passed on to my impersonator
35:23Well, that's risky
35:25If she's exposed the partnership falls through what choice do we have?
35:29Look, I have to go tonight as a guest. It'll be a chance to talk to Elena. I have a plus-one. Will you help?
35:36I'm sorry. I realize it's hardly the perfect night out, but well, we've had worse
35:40Should I brief the team? No, they need to focus on protecting Gavrick. This is my problem for now
36:10Glamorous
36:26Report
36:28Paralytic secure got you all on GPS
36:31Calum the Russians are vetting the staff
36:34On site scanners are clear. No trace of explosives or weapons coming in every guest and staff member cleared on our database
36:41Can you believe there's no one here by the name of assassin?
37:00Now for teams Delta one to the right
37:10I
37:33Thought we'd grow old and die without ever meeting thought or hurt
37:38Elena I've been unfaithful to you. I thought about this man every day every night for many years
37:47And I supposed to know what my husband is talking about forgive me
37:50I'm Harry Pierce, and this was all a very long time ago
37:55Should I introduce myself? Oh, sorry Rachel Wallace. This is Ilya and
37:59Elena Gavrick lovely to meet you Rachel
38:01These two are making eyes a teacher you and I should get a drink leave them to their nostalgia
38:07Oh
38:24You see the door in the corner of the room
38:27You need to go through it. I turn
38:30Exactly two minutes past eight by the main wall clock
38:33fresh peaches
38:35That is the difference to have
39:05It's been at least six months since someone wants to kill me I was beginning to feel under appreciate it's not too late to cancel
39:23Oh, no, I won't be intimidated. I never have been I never will be I
39:29Hear you've had problems recently Harry, I hope that behind you while standing here talking to you
39:34I don't feel as if anything is behind me
39:38But you've done rather better Ilya a couple of hundred million wasn't it? Oh, I was lucky
39:43Like so many former KGB men
39:46Strange how the guardians of the Soviet state were the first to loot its corpse
39:50Friends shouldn't judge each other and it looks like we are to be close friends
39:57Yes, of course
40:04I
40:16Admire your attention to detail out for one, but I refuse to put my hand up every time I want to leave the room
40:21concentrate on minister Gabbard
40:26Miss Emerson actually, it's miss Wallace tonight. I'm secretary
40:34Speak normally, please. Right? Yes, of course
40:37And I just wanted to say that report our mutual friend prepared on news
40:42impressive read
40:43Strikes me that you mean somewhat underpromoted
