- What happened to the lights? - They'll fix it. It happens all the time.
- Relax. - How? I'm on a military base!
I'm the only woman here. Do you realize how humiliating that is?
- Have you seen how they look at me? - Don't you like the attention?
Do not be stupid. Tell me what I do here. You never take me to work.
You wanted to come. Right?
Now that you're here anyway... Someone has been snooping in my business.
- Maybe you know who it is? - I don't know what you're talking about.
Is it you?
I really want to keep this between us.
You can start with to tell the truth?
- What did you do with the list? - What list?
- Who did you show it to? - I don't know what you're talking about.
Excuse me, boss. There is a problem with the generator.
- I know that. Fix it! - It looks like sabotage.
Stay exactly where you are.
Jed. Okay...
- Get me out of here, Jonathan. - I can not. Not now.
Tell who you are.
The intelligence service sent me to follow Roper's arms dealings.
- You saved Danny's life. - It was staged.
- You were close to dying. - It was part of the plan.
- And the list? - The list contains the names of all -
- who have invested in Roper's illegal arms deals.
That's what I did in his office. That's who I am.
- What do you want me to do? - Let Corky take the hit.
- I can not. Corky is my friend… - Corky is a trained killer.
I need money. Currency does not matter. Preferably dollars.
- That's all I have. - It is good.
I'll get you out of here. I promise.
I photographed your list with my phone.
I'm sorry.
Why did you do it?
I wanted to know what the man I live with makes a living.
- Why didn't you ask me? - You had never told the truth.
I thought I could figure it out so i took a photo.
- I thought I'd ask someone about it. - Who were you going to ask?
I do not know. I did nothing, I deleted it.
- How long later did you delete it? - One week?
- You didn't show it to anyone? - No, not anyone.
It is always there. Corky said for me not to have it lying around.
- What do you mean? Corky? - He found it and gave it to me.
Forgive me. I have provided so much trouble. So idiotic...
No problem. It's nothing we can't solve.
But you never get any redo that.
- I won't do that. Never. - Good.
- You know I love you so much. - I love you too.
- Who are you? - I work in the camp.
- Have you crossed the border? - No. We come from the village.
- Which village? - They bombed it.
A British man said we had to to give us away. Come, and you will see.
She was too old to leave.
We're going to camp and show her to the person in charge.
Do not do it. Turn around, for your son's sake. Go back.
- The airport? - It will be a longer journey, unfortunately.
Wait for a minute and then drive directly to Istanbul.
Bosphorus Grand Hotel. There, a woman is waiting in room 314.
Give her this note. 200 dollars.
- You get 200 more when you arrive. - No problem.
Have you slipped again, old boy?
There can be detention for that.
- It's your word against mine. - It's a risk I have to take.
Now I'm going to kill you. Do you understand?
I've been waiting for this moment!
Hello there! Who are you?
I saw him go through the fence. Get the boss! He needs to talk.
- Jeez... What the hell happened? - I found him by the fence.
I don't know how long he was outside. Maybe he met someone.
We need to bury him fast.
No one will know he was here.
For God's sake, Corky. Corky...
- It was the smallest grave I dug. - You had a place in it.
- Puta madre! - Hey, guys.
- Can I help you? - May I speak to the person in room 314?
- Who are you? - I've been driving all night. You are welcome.
- He said I would get 200 more. - Yes, we should be able to arrange that.
- Where is it? - Here.
God, he made it.
- Call up Mayhew. - Southeast Turkey, near Kasimli.
The trucks are heading towards the Syrian border.
- I can't get hold of Mayhew. - We have three hours.
It's his last day. He cannot be found, they say.
- I have to see Mayhew. - He cannot be found.
- I'm calling the police! - I'm fucking the police!
20 aid trucks heading towards it Syrian border with illegal weapons.
This is for real. This is what it takes to lower them.
I said we can't do anything. We have no allies.
I need a mandate from the Foreign Ministry which confirms the existence of the weapons!
I can ask Steadman to deposit troops to stop the convoy-
- search the trucks and confiscate the weapons.
Approval from above is required.
A letter from you, Rex, which representative of the Council of Ministers.
Please, Rex. You remain on duty. We will never get this chance again.
Joel, I'll fax you a message from our boy. See what you can do.
Go straight to the military. Don't drag Langley in. Roger?
Okay.
Call Commander Nichols, please.
Thanks.
- Estimated time of arrival? - They should cross the border in an hour.
We have the signal if you want to follow them.
- Andrew? - Hello...
- Yes? - It's your American friend.
The United States Army has granted the search of the convoy
- with 20 aid vehicles at 18.00 on the Syrian border.
- You are a good man, Joel. - Yes I know.
The convoy has been identified and followed by army satellites. Do you want to see?
- Incoming video link, Grace. - Yes.
Tabby, can you pick up Jed's? Thanks.
- Hey, Jed! - Hello.
Dear.
You wondered how I make a living.
Three minutes to the border.
Take them now.
They are at the border, sir.
Come on. Look inside. Now I have you.
Hello.
American soldiers at the border. They demand to open the trucks.
Have you been practicing your magic, Andrew?
- Well? - They are let through.
It seems so. They pause a convoy of agricultural machinery.
It's pure scandal.
You are a very naughty man.
They didn't keep track of the cups.
- The convoy is moving now, sir. - You are a genius!
Thanks to my mascot. You should accompany you to work more often.
- Where's Corky? - Don't think about Corky.
- Seriously. Where is he? - Stomach flu. He had to fly home.
- What happened? - What happened?
I just authorized a military raid on combines!
- I can not believe that. - Your intelligence was crap!
Don't you think your boy may have played double game?
You know what I think he's doing? Cheers to the art.
- What if Roper suspects him? - Then there is nothing we can do.
Oh my God...
- Oh no... - Gordon?
Oh my God! God, Gordon?
No problem. It was just a blow to the head.
Wait there. Do not move.
Ambulance and police to 10 Cranston Avenue, fast. We have had burglaries.
It will be alright. They send people. They are on their way.
I am terribly sorry. It will be alright. They are on their way.
- What is going on? - We're going out of here.
- What happened here? - A local issue that was fixed.
- He doesn't want to leave a trace. - So what was "fixed"?
A souvenir for you. It is the real thing.
Andrew! Pack your things. Time to go.
- Have you seen the trick? - The weapons were never here.
Just enough for the show, a little appetizer...
They never left Istanbul.
- With the IEA at your heels, you changed tactics. - I left them on the boat.
The Yankees have pulled out and Leech is finished.
So Corky was my Judas. Who could have guessed that?
Get them out of here.
Mr. Hamid, thank you. Richard Onslow Roper.
He takes my call.
Freddie! It's Dicky.
I'm on my way with my business partner. See you soon.
- Who was it? - A friend of mine - from Cairo.
CAIRO, EGYPT
- Where are we going to live? - Freddie arranges the accommodation for us.
The best in Cairo, I've heard.
Buckle up, weirdo. We are on vacation!
Time for a nap among the pharaohs. Shall we have some drinks later?
In addition to the wasted money and embarrassment for our American friends-
- has the fiasco at the Turkish and Syrian border cost us five years-
- with regard to intelligence work in Syria and the Middle East.
We will find out the reasons why why the intervention was carried out-
- based on so substandard intelligence-
- and how we can learn from it so that it is never repeated.
What made you think that British weapons were exported via Tradepass?
I got to see fakes user certificate
- for seven different arms companies, British and American.
Do you mean these?
Yes.
It is genuine export certificate for Bulgaria and Italy.
I have letters from both countries governments that validate sales.
- It's a cover-up. - Are you accusing me of lying?
I spoke with Rex Mayhew before starting his new position.
He said you persuaded someone at MI6 to leak information - the boatman.
- I've never heard that name. - How did you get hold of the certificates?
- They are classified. - An angel gave them to me - with a halo.
You are well aware of the seriousness of the investigation, Ms. Burr?
Let's move on to the weapons raid itself.
Based on what we now know where insufficient intelligence-
- did you authorize via an American contact, behind the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' back-
- a full-scale military raid against 20 aid trucks at the Syrian border.
Rex Mayhew authorized it, not me.
On its last day, with your guarantees on the accuracy of the intelligence.
Where did you get the intelligence from?
A source near Tradepass and Richard Roper.
Can you be more specific?
Then I put people in danger. No I can not.
It is a closed investigation. The names are deleted from the files.
Why can't you tell me?
You know why. You all know why.
They were disconnected this morning, on orders from the ministry.
- So it's just you and me again? - Not even that, unfortunately.
In two weeks they will close the office. The IEA is placed in a moth bag.
Go home, Angela. Give birth to your child. Was a teacher's wife.
Give up, you mean? Pine, then?
- Pine gave you false information. - I do not think so.
I pulled him in. I can't just abandon him.
You probably have no choice.
- Didn't you hear? You don't work anymore. - I just wanted to thank you.
- If you need help in the future... - Not so likely.
Angela Burr. Who is this?
- Is Sophie there? - Sophie? There is no one...
When she arrives, you can greet her that we are all here in the same hotel?
Say we're all here.
He is in Cairo.
Mr. Roper. Your courier is here. I'll send him up.
Thanks so much.
Have you been to Cairo before?
No. I've been to Morocco quite a bit and Tunisia, but never Egypt.
Take care and look around while we ride on the Nile.
- Isn't Andrew coming with us? - Absolutely not. The schedule is busy.
Richard Roper, I then say that…
Speaking of true love…
- What is she doing here? - Don't you want female company?
- Look who's back! - Caro, so lovely to see you.
- Good morning, Sandy. - Good morning.
Dear. Nice to see you.
I need to talk to the young prince.
You can wreak havoc the local bazaar?
Sure, the heart.
- Are you coming with them, Tabby? - See you later.
- Coffee? - Thanks.
You know what I'm thinking? Winston Churchill and T.E. Lawrence in Cairo-
- when they divide the Middle East over a glass of champagne and a cigar.
They drew a map on a napkin and shook hands. The Kings of Arabia.
- Then I guess you are Churchill. - If you insist.
It was bloody boring with Corky. It feels like...
I certainly could have persuaded him.
I could have explained that even traitors can be forgiven.
They can be useful. Keep track on the enemy, check them out.
But they have to take a stand. They have to make a decision.
I don't know why I say that here. You have already made your decision.
- A long time ago. - The Kings of Arabia.
- Freddie Hamid, how are things? - Dicky. Hello, sir.
May I introduce Andrew Birch, our CEO?
Nice to meet you, Freddie. Dicky has told about you.
- Welcome to Cairo. It'll be fun. - I can not wait.
Well, shall we begin?
- Mr. Kouyami. - "East is East and West is West."
- "And never the twain shall meet." - Nice to see you, Mr. Roper.
You first.
- So the cargo list hasn't changed? - Everything is included.
The lot is stored in a safe military zone on the outskirts of town.
- And the payment system? - Half now, half at the exchange.
If all parties are satisfied, I suggest-
- that we carry out the first one the payment to the Tradepass account.
We heard about the incident with American military on the Syrian border.
I want you to guarantee that the transaction is risk-free. Can you do that?
We had a minor problem, internally.
It has been investigated and fixed. You have my word.
Let's continue.
PROCESSING TRANSFER PAYMENT RECEIVED
It's done.
- Thanks. Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- Who wants another glass? - Nothing for me.
- Smile at me. Laugh. - Make a joke, then.
I can't take this anymore.
- I can't sleep with him again. - You must.
- Why can't we go, just the two of us? - It's not just about us.
Very funny joke.
A courier came last night with paper about the delivery.
- They are in the safe. - Do you know the code?
Be careful.
Excuse me, sir. Can I have a vodka martini?
- You are up early. - We will shop.
You certainly can't have too many carpets.
Look at you. Roper's underling. Think how things change.
- Yes, of course they do? - Me? The lost, chastised wife.
- Chastised by what? - Roper made me an offer.
- It was very decent of him. - Maybe it.
Or he wanted someone to would spy on his girlfriend.
Be careful, Caro. The sun is strong out there.
Is it true, Caro?
If I didn't agree to it I would never see the children again.
I hate him.
Message from London.
- This was unexpected. - Alas, you skeptics.
- I was the one who was persuaded. - I do not know who you are.
Joel Steadman, from the American side.
I suspect you are playing double.
- What are you talking about? - It was a leak.
- I killed someone to cover up. - Corcoran?
- If you want to go out now, I can help you. - No.
- We have time... - None of us want that.
I have no organization, none ways out, no international support.
Just a cowboy and a pregnant woman. It's your army.
If it goes wrong, I can't guarantee i'll get you out.
I lived half a life when we were met. I have nothing to lose.
However, I need your help.
Okay. What can we do?
