Original subtitles

Svalbard is strictly demilitarised.

Military use is absolutely forbidden.

This programme contains some strong language.

Daniel Hodge was serving as part Of a four-man Special Forces team

Operating undercover.

The Chinese scientist, Shen Jia.

Where is she now?

What is that?

It's a gift for my friend.

Professor Mair.

Five minutes? Then I can talk.

You shouldn't be looking for Shen Jia.

If you find her, they'll kill you.

Director Becken was found in Possession of a Russian burner phone

Belonging to Daniel Hodge.

The only way that someone could have Got a hold of that phone

Is if they were Hodge's killer.

You're telling me that the Director Of Svalbard is your prime suspect?

You think that acting dumb is the smart play here, Chen,

But I am watching you.

And if I find you know more than you've been letting on,

I'm going to be the first one to come knocking.

Do you know anyone who could run diagnostics on this?

My comms guy just got a surprise

From one of our friends in Baltegrad.

They've locked us out of the phone.

Russian malware. They were tipped off.

When Jia disappeared, you cleared her room, right?

We've had intel on Jia's discovery,

And it's dangerous.

You don't want me to drop this, do you?

Get down! Henrik!

Jia, get down!

It's not a weapon.

It was the answer to everything!

Do you want me on your mind

Or do you want me to go on

I might be yours, as sure as I can say

Be gone, be faraway.

Where are you taking me?

Stay there. Stay.

Going right. Uh-huh.

Inside clear.

On me.

Straight to there. Help me with him.

Right, Jia.

Come on.

Easy. Easy.

Over there. Over there.

You have to take me to hospital.

Not my house.

You're lucky we didn't leave you.

Yeah. Come on, Director.

No place like home, eh?

Come on.

Cuff him to the bed.

Stay away from the windows.

I found this.

Give me a hand.

You have to take me to hospital.

No, we have to patch you up here.

Could the shooter know where we are?

I don't know.

I was the one they shot.

But it was Jia they were after.

That's why they kept shooting.

And you brought her out into the open.

If I'd wanted to kill Jia, I would've done it before.

No, you kidnapped her, assaulted me,

And then took her to where the shooter was.

That's not what happened.

Then tell us what happened, all right?

I had to get Jia off the island.

Why?

The situation was getting out of control and...

I did it for the good of everyone on Svalbard.

Who told you to take her to the airstrip?

Come on, was it Chen?

Cos he knew about that flight.

Is it him you're working with?

What did he offer you?

Not just for the good of Svalbard, then? Chen paid you.

So, that was the plan?

You helped Chen get Jia out into the open and then...

He kills her?

That's not what he said.

Then, what, he lied to you?

So is Chen the shooter?

Chen doesn't know one end of a rifle from the other.

That could be a cover.

Or he's working with the shooter.

Either way, he wants Jia dead.

Maybe she knows why.

Chen wouldn't try and kill me.

I know it's a lot to take in.

Because it isn't true.

It can't be.

Yeah, well, the Russians ambushed us once before.

Maybe somebody tipped them off.

Oh, this again.

This all started with what you discovered.

On the airstrip, you said that the Sample wasn't a bioweapon?

It was a biofuel.

It was Lorna's idea to call it A weapon to throw everyone off.

It was an organically occurring,

Carbon neutral replacement for petrol.

What does that mean?

Several years ago, I discovered a bacteria in the ice here,

That, once isolated, had the Potential to replace fossil fuels,

But without any harmful emissions.

Is that really possible?

With the right infrastructure,

It would've been the biggest energy Revolution in our lifetime.

And a threat to the global energy economy.

That's what's made you a target.

Who else knew about this?

I kept the circle small.

Chen, Lorna,

Vincent Mair.

Vincent knew?

When China found out what I'd discovered,

They ordered Chen to fly me back.

So, I secretly used DNA from the original specimen

To make two samples.

I kept one and I gave the other to Vincent Mair.

Jia, are you aware that Vincent's...

Yes, I know he's dead.

Mark told me when I was hiding in the hub.

It's why I left without telling you.

I didn't know who to trust any more.

Vincent's death is my fault.

If I hadn't given him that sample...

He'd still be alive.

If Chen is working with the shooter, That means his orders have changed.

China would rather kill you than let Anyone else have that biofuel.

We need to get you off Svalbard.

ENGINE APPROACHING

You hear that?

Get down! Get down!

Jia, if they're armed...

You do what you need to.

They've gone round the...

KNOCKING

It's Garcia. I'm not armed.

The fuck's he doing here?

Look, if you're in there, I'm just here to help.

Hey.

Easy, easy! I'm on your side.

Stay down! What are you doing here?

I was sent here, OK.

I work for the CIA.

My boss is Patrick Connolly.

He can explain everything.

Can I get up or should I just tell you from down here?

What did Sir Ian say?

He isn't aware of any CIA presence on Svalbard,

But he'll get back to us.

It's just...

You don't seem like the CIA type.

Look, I can't really say much more in front of him.

Cold War never really ended, you know?

Would you mind checking on Henrik?

Mm-hm.

OK.

The CIA has had a presence on Svalbard since the'60s.

We...

Well, they recruit scientists, Like me, straight out of college.

They... They fund my research and in exchange, I...

Well, let's just say I monitor illegal activity for them,

On the island. Why are you only telling us this now?

Why didn't you come forward before?

Because Russia aren't the only ones Guilty of an overreach here.

I mean, guys were sort of meant to Monitor all illegal activity,

Including that of our allies.

Yeah. So what's changed?

This has turned into a shit-show.

We've got a dead British soldier.

Russian's invading the hub.

And obviously, when the Director got shot,

That was the final straw and I was ordered to come here.

Sorry. How do you know about that?

Well, we've got someone monitoring the airfield,

Just like the Russians do.

They saw you going down the coastal road,

And I figured, well, this is where I'd come, so...

Here I am.

Garcia, what do you want?

I think I can help you figure out who the shooter was.

Yeah? How?

When all of you disappeared yesterday, I knew something

Must've been up. I started keeping an eye on all the exits,

In case you guys came back. And then half an hour before

The shooting, I saw someone leaving the hub.

Well, who?

They were getting into a jeep, but I couldn't make them out.

But that's why I...

That's why I brought that. I thought it might help you.

Why the fuck do you have my laptop?

Well, you guys aren't as slick as you think you are.

I saw the cameras you set up.

What cameras? We set some up after Polina was killed.

Figured I could use them to ID The shooter, but I couldn't log on.

Programme, top left. Right.

OK.

I mean, it takes about 40 minutes To get from the airport to the hub,

So the shooter would have left...

Around here.

There.

Can you slow that down? Mm-hm.

It's Pickford.

No, that can't be right.

That was less than an hour ago.

Wait, there's someone else there.

Chen.

They could be working together.

Anderson, we need to find Jia now.

You're not like the other Russians.

Is that meant to be a compliment?

Maybe.

What's your plan, here?

It can't be Pickford. Let me get him on the radio.

No, what? You saw him with Chen.

You can't risk that.

I know he's your mate but think about it.

Pickford split you up after the ambush.

Aye, cos we were looking for her And it would cover more ground.

Anyway, that was Hodge's idea.

Yeah, but Pickford calls the shots, yeah?

Look, if Pickford's on his way, we all need to leave, now!

No-one's talking to you.

Mark, please.

Look, just because I've been Undercover doesn't mean I haven't

Been helping you guys.

Like I did with Hodge's phone yesterday,

Like I did with Lorna's entry logs after she was attacked.

I did all of that stuff. Wait, wait. What happened to Lorna?

She was attacked when she was In the lab destroying your research.

But it's OK. I mean she... She's OK.

PHONE BUZZES

Just give me a sec.

Yeah, what have you got?

I've spoken to Connolly.

He's confirmed Garcia is CIA.

Can't say I'm thrilled about it.

He says he can help us get Jia off the island.

No need. We have a carrier in the Area scrambling a helicopter

As we speak. Should be there in about three hours.

You'll need to rendezvous at the mine

On the far side of the peninsula.

It's the previous extraction point.

Did you get my message about Pickford?

Yes, do not engage him.

That's your advice?

At this point, it's all we can do.

Look, I know this has been a Disaster, but Jia is valuable to us.

I know I can rely on you to get her here safely.

Good luck.

He is who he says he is.

Mark, listen to me.

No, Jia, it's too dangerous. What's the deal with him?

Sir Ian says he's legit. He's also Said he's sending a helicopter.

Should be here in three hours.

That's more than enough time. More than enough time for what?

I have to go back to the hub.

What? Why?

Before I left, I told Lorna to get rid of all my research

So no-one could steal it.

Yeah, and she did.

Not all of it.

He said he logged onto the lab Server AFTER Lorna was attacked.

Yeah, so?

I have digital copies of my findings on there.

If he could see the lab entry logs,

It means Lorna never wiped the server.

Because they would have been wiped too.

My research survived.

If I could get it, I could use it to access

The biofuel's genetic sequence.

And create more samples.

It will take time, but it's the only Chance I have to recreate my work.

You realise people are trying to kill you over this?

I'm not asking for permission.

Look, you're the most wanted person on the island.

If the police catch you, then we can't extract you.

And you'd be way too easy a target in police custody.

I can get in and out of the hub without anyone seeing.

I've done it before.

If Chen finds out, he could steal the data, or delete it.

I'll go. I'll go... No.

You have to go through a biometric Scan to access my research.

I'm the only one who can do it.

And I'm not getting on that helicopter without it.

I'll only need a few minutes.

Anderson, I'm going to sweep The coastal road. Check the cabins.

Over.

Shit.

That makes the decision for us.

How many people can you get into the lab?

I don't know. Maybe you and maybe one more.

I'll go with you.

Listen, if Pickford's coming here,

We're going to need someone to draw him away, right?

Right, well...

If I can get to the other side Of the island, I can put a call out

And maybe lure them that way.

If I can isolate Anderson, Then maybe we can get him on side.

OK. You can take me and the Director at the hospital.

I'll make my way to the evac point.

No, what if Pickford intercepts you?

We'll drive fast.

I can do this.

OK.

Right, you guys have got to go. Right, let's go!

Go, go. Go!

Right, guys. You can move all the Stuff on the seat onto the floor.

Or just give it to me, please.

Right. And... And just keep...

I'd stay low if I were you.

I realise we've never actually been introduced.

Amy.

Jia.

Yeah. Not been a lot of time for introductions.

No.

Where's Fyodor?

He left.

He could've told the Russians where we are.

Ah, well, doesn't matter now.

We're leaving. Right, up!

OK, let's go.

Wait!

Last chance to back out.

No, I have to do this.

And how do you want to do this exactly?

You know, if anyone sees you, they're going to report you...

I know. I know.

There's an access hatch beneath the building.

It's...

It's how I've been getting in And out without anyone knowing.

Where's it lead?

To an old storage space at the end of service corridor B.

OK. This is what we're going to do.

When I say go, you go and you get inside.

But you wait for me there.

I'll have to clear the lab first. You got it?

Yeah. OK.

Go!

OK.

Come on.

Hey, folks, if I could get your attention, please?

I'm afraid I'm going to need to shut down the lab.

I know, I know it's a drag, but After the last power cut, we...

Well, some of the diagnostics have come back

And some of the safety systems aren't working properly.

I'm sorry. This is what we're going to do.

We're all going to head down to the cafeteria

And we're all going to come up with Some new safety protocols.

All right, guys? Let's go.

Chen. That means you too, buddy.

Do we have to do this now?

I am afraid so, come on.

I'll catch up with you in a second.

Right, let's go.

When I came in, Chen was on the server.

So we might be too late?

Maybe.

But I... I'll buy you guys as much time as I can.

PHONE BUZZES

Evgeni.

Come on...

Should it be taking this long?

It's not working.

It won't.

I've made sure no-one can get on The server without my authorisation.

And I've already called the police, Jia.

They're on their way.

We need to leave now.

Not without my research.

Jia... Oh, shit.

He's called the police. You need to Hold them off as long as you can.

Go. Now!

All right. You've got five minutes.

Give me my research.

It's not your research, Jia.

That was always your problem.

Not that you wanted to change the world,

But that YOU had to be the one to do it.

Is that why you had her shot?

What?!

You paid Henrik to kidnap her, take her to the airstrip.

Yes, but to get you home!

Someone tried to kill me.

And then you told Pickford where Henrik was taking her.

No, I didn't tell anyone except our contact back in Beijing.

Jia was shot at,

So either that order came from you or from your contact.

No, they...

They wouldn't.

After what I did, the Party were never going to let me live.

They promised to protect you, to protect the discovery.

No-one should even know about it!

You should have come to me.

I did, but you didn't listen!

We've been colleagues for years.

I thought we trusted each other.

You threw all that away when you defected.

I didn't defect!

Just for your 15 minutes! Jia, hey. Hey.

This isn't about me.

This is about you.

You're a coward, Chen.

A coward?!

You've always been a coward.

It's why you told them about my discovery.

I've risked everything for you!

I never told them about the biofuel!

It was Beijing who contacted me.

They already knew about it.

They told me that you were defecting with it,

And they thought I was helping you,

Because I'd been doing what you asked.

I was covering for you.

Never telling them what you were doing,

Buying you time.

And you betrayed me.

Nothing on the radio.

Maybe try another channel?

Something's not right.

What the...?

Who is that?

It's Anderson!

Oh, shit!

There's something going on here. Wait.

Pull over. Pull over.

They've been trying to trap us.

Yeah. Here they come. It'll be a dead end ahead.

Look, just do what they say, OK?

What are you going to do?

You didn't tell Beijing?

I didn't.

Well, then, who did?

And why did you get Henrik to kidnap me?

After what you'd done, I had no choice.

You'd left me to face the consequences.

What consequences?

People disappear. Get taken. I've seen it.

So, what? Send me back and you're off the hook?

No. I believed in the work you were doing. I still do.

What you discovered is incredible, but it's vulnerable.

My contact promised to protect both you and the biofuel.

How could you believe them After what happened to Vincent Mair?

You told them he had a sample, didn't you?

That's what got him killed!

China wouldn't kill someone on UK soil.

It's too risky. Well, somebody did.

Because of the information you leaked!

I didn't mean for that to happen.

But it did!

Chen, you can still put this right.

Just give me the research.

What are you going to do with it?

I'm going to share it.

It's bigger than you and me.

It's bigger than any one country.

It belongs to everyone.

I just need your help.

If Beijing finds out... We can't control that.

OK, we've got to go.

Turn the engine off and put your hands where I can see them.

Now, step out.

Slow.

Where's Jia?

You're not going to find her, mate.

Jesus, Mark!

Easy, Si, just want to talk.

Everyone just stay calm.

Drop the gun. No, mate, you need to listen.

I won't tell you again.

This prick has betrayed us!

He fucking shot Hodge, he shot at Jia, hit the Director.

What are you talking about? He's lying!

Anderson, just take a look!

When did this happen?

This morning.

See, they're playing you. We're not!

Well, we saw you leave the hub.

Garcia showed us.

How?

Our surveillance cameras picked him up, mate.

Look, I have the video. I can show you.

Stay where you are!

You can't have.

The Norwegian Police took the cameras down yesterday.

Why should we believe you?

The Director gave the order. You can ask him.

Did you take the SBS surveillance down yesterday?

My officers did, yes.

There's been no cameras for the last 24 hours.

See. I told you.

Oh, my God.

I need you to get out!

You need to take Henrik to hospital And secure the evac point for Jia.

Where are you going? I'm going to the hub.

If Pickford's not the shooter, it's Garcia.

Hey, have you seen Chen?

Uh, yeah. I... I saw him go up to his room.

Guys, the police are here. We need to go.

It's done.

I've also deleted the files on the lab server.

This is the last copy.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, come on!

Oh, come on!

What did you tell the police?

I bought us a few minutes, but they'll be back soon.

Why don't you just jump on this one And I'll follow you to the mine, OK?

How do you know where the evac point is?

What do you mean? You said back at Henrik's house...

No, I didn't, I said...

I said it's the same as last time.

But how do you know that's the mine?

Listen, we don't have time for this.

You definitely said it was... No, no.

She didn't.

Run.

Run!

Put the gun down!

Put it down!

Yeah. Get down.

Hands behind your back. You've got to get out of here.

You OK? I'm going to stay and deal with him, OK?

You'll come home soon?

Is that an order?

Go. Go.

Get in. Mind your head.

Right, OK. Thank you.

All right? Thanks.

We're going to need to search his room, his vehicle...

Yeah. We're already on it.

And I'm going to bet that when you run ballistics on that,

It's going to match the bullets that killed Hodge.

Yeah. Good. Then it's over.

No, not yet.

What about the Director?

We arrested him at the hospital.

He's looking at charges for assault, kidnap, espionage...

It's quite the list.

He said he had his reasons.

I bet he did.

Right. Better get on.

Cunningham, we'll secure the perimeter.

HELICOPTER APPROACHES

Kept me waiting.

Trying to soften me up? Oh, why bother?

DCI Silva's already done a pretty good job of that.

Hmm...

You sure you don't want a solicitor?

No. I don't need one.

For attempted murder, you're looking At, what, 15, maybe 20 years.

I walked in on you with a gun to DCI Silva's head.

There's no getting out of that.

I mean, Norwegian prisons are nice,

But, if you co-operate, they could be nicer.

This isn't the first time you've tried to kill Jia, is it?

It was you who shot at her at the airstrip.

Are you... Are you fishing or do you have actual proof?

You brought us the laptop

And doctored the time codes to frame Pickford.

And you did that to get close to Jia,

Because you failed to kill her before.

See, I reckon when ballistics comes Back on this, it'll show that

It fires the same nine millimetre Subsonic rounds that killed Hodge.

If it does, that'll be quite the coincidence, then.

See, this has been you all along, hasn't it?

Before you killed Hodge,

How long did you know he was spying for Russia?

We found that in your room.

Your DCI gave it to me.

And all the data on that phone was wiped by the Russians.

Well, the FSB still has a record of it.

I'm sure they'll be happy to share it with you.

Were you blackmailing Hodge?

Did he confront you?

Is that why you killed him?

Fine. Don't want to talk? Fine.

Makes no odds to me.

I'll tell the Norwegians to charge You and take you to the mainland.

You still don't get it, do you?

I'm CIA.

I'll be protected.

What, because you were doing what they ordered?

The CIA ordered you to shoot the Director?

To kill a British soldier?

You mean, erm...

The Russian spy?

Ah, so, you did know he was a spy?

And what about the Director?

He's not a spy.

I was ordered to keep Jia From leaving by any means necessary.

And is that why you killed Hodge, then?

So you could dump his body in Baltegrad to stop Jia

From leaving by air?

That seems rather elaborate.

Why was stopping Jia so important?

I don't think you would understand.

Try me.

If what Jia has found can replace fossil fuels,

Think what that would do to countries like Kuwait,

Wudyan or Russia.

Their economies would collapse.

I mean, a post-oil world does sound good on paper,

But, in reality, on the ground in those countries,

Their economies would collapse.

There would be bank runs, protests, revolutions...

And the US didn't want that to happen?

Oh, yeah, well, you know when you're at the top of the tree,

You don't really want it to shake, do you?

And that's worth killing people for?

Nato's over.

This is a different world we live in

And in this world I did whatever I had to do for my country.

I don't really feel like I have to justify myself to a cop,

No offence, but I think we're done here.

No, I have a few more questions.

I said, we're done.

DI Longacre.

Colonel Zamorin wants to speak with you.

Tell him to wait.

He's insistent.

I thought you'd gone back to Moscow.

Yes.

People think many things about me.

Most of it incorrect.

I'm interviewing a suspect. What do you want?

I know. Garcia, I know.

I think this might help.

Korotayev had it.

It has messages between him and the Russian spy.

And what's going to happen to you for giving me this?

Don't worry about me.

I know what I'm doing.

So we can go through this together And you have what you need.

But I want something in return.

Yeah, of course you do.

Can I join you?

So this is Korotayev's phone.

He's been using it to communicate with the Russian spy.

To communicate with you.

The text warning the Russians about Jia's extraction

Came after Hodge had left the hub.

Meaning he didn't send it.

Still doesn't mean that I did.

Well, actually, Korotayev received another message

From the same number, it was 12 hours ago.

"Hit on Jia failed. Director shot. Target seen heading to coast.

"Going to intercept. And stand by."

See, you just admitted to me You shot the Director under orders.

You sent that text, didn't you?

Yeah, you weren't blackmailing Hodge,

Because you didn't need to.

He told you about the extraction because you're CIA.

And you then told the Russians.

So when Hodge found out that you were the leak,

He came back to the hub to confront you

And you killed him.

You then framed him as the Russian spy.

Do you know what the CIA will do when they find out

You killed a British soldier to cover your back?

What?

You will be...

I do not know this word in English.

Disavowed.

I like this word.

You're going to lose your diplomatic immunity, my friend.

You need to start talking.

Because this isn't just about Jia.

Vincent Mair was killed in Glasgow When his lab was blown up.

No. I had nothing to do with Vincent Mair.

Why should we believe you?

Isn't it obvious? I was off on Svalbard when it happened.

You are the CIA. You had motives, you had means.

We've been treating Vincent's death as a terror attack.

But, if you co-operate...

I didn't have anything to do with Vincent Mair's death.

Because CIA doesn't operate on UK Soil. In fact, it doesn't need to.

And why's that?

Because UK isn't even a real country.

You're just America's captive.

You sort of have been for years.

You guys just do what we tell you to do.

Well, not this time.

And you can think about that on your flight to the mainland.

So you think you've won?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

You're arrested, Jia's off Svalbard.

Just because Jia's off Svalbard doesn't mean she's safe.

You'll see.

Due to land in 20 minutes, ma'am.

This is DCI Amy Silva, please leave A message and I will call you back.

It's just gone straight to voicemail. Kirsten?

Mm. Ah... I think this is it.

I never thanked you.

Mm-hm. I noticed.

It's been good working together.

Why did you land here?

Couldn't risk using any of the usual airfields, ma'am,

In case they were being watched.

The driver will take you to a safe house.

Intelligence services will be there to debrief you.

OK. Thanks.

DCI Silva's just landed, sir.

On our six. Coming up fast.

Who is it? Get down.

Get down. Shit!

Watch out. Jesus.

Take the verge! Take the verge!

Shit!
