In other news this morning,

the markets
have responded positively

to the prime minister´s
announcement

that the Indian government
will underwrite sterling.

The pound rallied,

gaining more than two pence
against the U.S. dollar.

This could be construed
as a personal success

for Tom Dawkins,

although he has been criticized
by environmental campaigners

for reneging on existing
international agreements.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

WRIGGLESWORTH: All right,
ladies and gents. Thank you.

Stand back, please.

[ Shouting continues ]

Behind the tape.
Thank you.

Behind the tape, please.

I´ll be right back.

[ Indistinct conversations,
shutter clicks ]

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

DAWKINS:
Well?

What do you know?

Burglary, perhaps.

Signs of a struggle.

Someone´s been tearing the place
apart looking for bugs...

Or... removing them.

Was he bugged?

If he was, I didn´t know
about it, and it wasn´t by us.

Then by whom?

It may have been another agency
targeting me through him...

hoping he´d be...indiscreet.

About Nightlight?

DUCHENNE:
Nightlight was a fuckup, Tom.

And it was my fault,
as I´m sure you know.

Some people think it led
to the death of an MI6 officer

the following year.

Now, they are wrong, but...

Jesus Christ.

They wouldn´t have gone
this far.

Not for that.

The bugging, maybe,
but not this.

Then what?

DUCHENNE: It could be
this photo he died for.

Did you give it to him?

Is that his blood?

We think it´s from one of
Saeed Khan´s picture messages.

So you didn´t give it to him?

No.

DUCHENNE:
If not you, then who?

HAYES:
We may have a problem.

The Times called.

This is what they´ll be running
tomorrow.

Tom served in the British Army
in Bosnia with the U.N.

Peacekeeping.

Now, according to this article,

he crossed into an area
he shouldn´t have been

and he broke U.N. rules
of engagement

to free an Army translator
taken prisoner by an armed gang.

What´s wrong with that?

The translator was killed,
plus three other civilians

and a member of Tom´s company.

Civilians?
You said it was an armed gang.

Criminals.
Not combatants.

Well, in my book,
that´s heroism, not a war crime.

Well, he covered it up.

It´s bad judgment then,
bad judgment now.

Felix, you just don´t like it
that he actually does something.

He´s acting like
some crazed Marxist.

Championing small businesses?
Marxism?

Nationalizing a bank?

Bringing PetroFex to book

and standing up
for the people of Scarrow.

Shooting civilians?

Are they saying that?

HAYES: I´ve just told you
everything I know.

Someone needs to speak to Tom.

Ros.

It´s you or me, isn´t it?

I´m sorry?

When he goes. Tom.
If.

I´ve done a poll.

He´s swimming against the tide.

[ Dialing ]

WRIGGLESWORTH:
He´s not happy.

[ Cellphone buzzing ]

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Get Ellis Kane here.
Now.

You see why I didn´t
want to stand.

Because the story would get out.

It´s a distraction, Tom.
Nothing more.

Show you´re vulnerable on this,
and the government will suffer.

Shrug it off.
Move on.

That´s leadership.

Did you shoot civilians?

No.

No.

So it was a mistake
20 years ago.

Doesn´t mean
you´re making a mistake now.

A mistake?
It was a bloody mess.

So move on.

Tony Fossett is dead.

We´re sleepwalking into a war
with Iran.

The whole thing
is starting again.

You stepped up, Tom,
when the country needed you.

You´re in the firing line.
That´s your job.

It was then, and it is now.

We don´t know what happened
to Tony Fossett.

What I can tell you is...

he wouldn´t want you crying
in the lavatory.

He´d want you out there,
making waves.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

It might have been an idea

to tell me about the skeleton
in your cupboard.

Are you telling me
you didn´t know?

Of course I didn´t know.

And I recall giving you
some advice about Ellis Kane.

But I didn´t say anything
to her.

So where could it
have come from?

They are big, rough lads
at the MOD, Tom.

And they´ve had a very hard time
from government lately.

They´ve lost their Nimrod fleet,
their aircraft carriers,

they´ve had budgets and
troop numbers cut to ribbons.

If they´re starting to feel
a little bit unmanned,

they´d be more than capable
of feeding a smear story

to a well-placed journalist.

Ellis Kane´s here.

Tell me he´s joking.

Are you going to tell me

what the fuck you think
you´re playing at?

Are you going to pretend
I didn´t give you a chance

to give me your side
of the story?

And why would I do that?

Yeah. Why would a journalist
want to help?

You can´t sit
on festering secrets like that

- and hope to take on the world.
- Well, I bloody...

I told you
something was out there.

I asked you to give me your side
of the story.

You said,
"There´s nothing there.

There´s nothing to give."

Well, fuck you, Tom Dawkins.

You´re not the only one trying
to find their way in the world.

Am I supposed to feel sorry
for you?

- Oh, fuck off.
- The great hotshot journalist

Too big for your own story,

and now nobody wants to speak
to you.

Is that what I am?

That´s what people say to me
all the time.

- Then what are you?
- I´m the fucking prime minister.

I received
an anonymous e-mail...

A report you´d written
about an unsanctioned mission

to rescue your translator
from Bosnia.

You entered an area
barred to the British Army,

and five people ended up dead
in the firefight,

including the translator
and the man you took with you,

Corporal Aiden Farlowe.

You redacted the report.

I allowed myself to be persuaded
to redact that report.

You do a thing like that...
supposedly for the best.

Oh.

You act on advice.

You try to persuade yourself
that it´s for the greater good.

And you also know
that it´s going to save your ass

And it dogs you.

It dogs you
from that day to this.

You were rescuing
your translator.

I was sleeping with her.

Ah.

[ Door opens ]

Thought you´d gone.

I´m going.

You mustn´t take it personally.

I´ve had targets die.
It´s hard.

But they never knew you.
Don´t forget that.

And you never knew them.

I think I need to take
some time off.

The people on those lists
are there for a reason.

It´s our job to monitor them.

No more than that.

Take a couple of days.

[ Door opens ]

[ Beeps ]

Somebody fucked up.

Other than you, you mean?

Fossett was Dawkins´
closest friend.

And the black box.
W-What´s happening with that?

Forget about
the flight recorder.

It´s never coming back.

And... once they´ve seen that,
no one will ask about it again.

Nothing dodgy
about this dossier.

Happier now?

Fossett had
some of this information?

Where did he get hold of it?

We´re presuming Dawkins.

I´ll call you.

[ Cellphone dialing ]

Give me a secure line to GCHQ.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Hello.

Um, yeah, that´s right.

She does.

Right.

[ Buzzing ]

EVANS:
Excuse me, Prime Minister.

You don´t know me,
but my name is Agnes Evans.

Go through the press office
like everybody else.

[ Beeps ]

[ Keys clicking ]

The Iranians have interned
30 U.K. nationals.

They´re describing them
as spies, which is ludicrous.

What are they?

All the oil companies
keep a skeleton staff in Iran

for the day when sanctions
are lifted.

So they´re oilmen?

U.N. sanctions
forbid Western oil companies

from operating in Iran,

so suddenly
the Iranians are saying

they must be there
under false pretenses.

Hard-liners banging the drum
pre-election.

They know their time
is running out.

They´re not the only ones.

They want us
to jump up and down,

make threats, and behave like
the warmongering imperialists

they´ve cast us as.

YELLAND:
I suppose they do, yes.

To which our answer
should be what?

I know what you want me to say,
Tom.

You want me to say, "Violins and
chamomile tea," but I´m not...

You´re not going to start
telling me how the world works.

Then stop trying to reinvent it
at our expense.

And if you´re going to sell the
family silver to the Indians,

consult the bloody
foreign secretary.

Or even the chancellor.

There´s a consensus growing
out there

that you´re going to burn
bright, but brief.

And you need to make a decision
about Iran.

There are 312 MPs in this party.

And they´ve delegated us to make
the decisions that matter.

What are you saying, Felix?

Felix isn´t saying anything.

Are you, Felix?

[ Door closes ]

Thank you, John.

I needed your support
on that one.

And that doesn´t worry you?

Mm.

HAWLEY:
Sami Sharour visited Tehran

on at least a dozen occasions
in the last three years.

He was also seen
visiting this mosque.

Now, the imams there

are known for their particularly
anti-Western stance.

The, uh, guy on the right

is very close
to the Iranian leadership.

A madrassa in New York
known for its radical views.

He visited it several times
in 2011.

And you think this Sharour
was on Charles´ plane?

Oh, we´re certain of it.

Despite the fact that he wasn´t
on the passenger manifest?

See, the plane was owned
by PetroFex.

He worked for the company.

As I understand it,
he was a late addition,

like Charles Flyte.

YELLAND: If he wasn´t
on the passenger manifest...

That´s him there...

On the picture
that Saeed Khan took.

Who´s had access
to these pictures?

Well, only one
has been made public.

And why the hell
is this only coming out now?

The company are cagey
about his presence there

because of his connection
with the drone-fuel team.

Which was what?

He headed it up.

Now, the circumstances
of the crash...

With so little information
emerging,

it has taken a little bit longer
than we´d hoped.

How long have you known?

Well, we´ve been following
several different leads.

It has taken a while,
I know, but...

You´re suggesting
that he was somehow an agent

of the Iranian government.

Now, his family originated
in Syria.

Sharour was born there.
Grew up in the U.S.

But they´ve retained
very close links with Iran,

Sami in particular.

It does look
as though given an opportunity

to harm the prime minister,
he took it.

[ Exhales deeply ]

This will tip us into war.

We have to keep control
of the details

until we´re absolutely certain
of the facts.

HAWLEY: Well, naturally,
the Americans are aware.

The agreement
on shared intelligence.

I don´t recall
anybody adhering to that

when it came
to the drone strike.

Oh.
It´s secure with them.

It´d better be.

Ros, can you give us a moment?

I think the time for violins
and chamomile tea may be over.

[ Door opens, closes ]

I saw another copy
of one of those pictures today.

Did you?

Oh, yes, I did.

Covered in blood.

Tony Fossett´s?

So how did he get hold of it?

I´ll look into it.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Whistle blowing,
indistinct conversations ]

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

Essentially, the Americans
are saying that...

That no one could accuse you
of belligerence or intemperance

if you retaliated.

Meaning?

Targeted strikes
against their nuclear program.

How long have we been
looking for clear justification

to take those facilities out?

But, Ros, strike like that,

and we guarantee the hard-liners
an election victory.

We play right into their hands.

YELLAND: Do you know the mistake
George W. made after 9/11, Tom?

He squandered
the world´s goodwill

by moving out of Afghanistan
and into Iraq.

When the news about
Charles´ assassination gets out,

you´ll have a window
of forgiveness in your hands.

And, to quote
the U.S. secretary of state,

it´s a very powerful item

when paired with some Tomahawk
cruise missiles.

[ Sighs ]

Oh, God.

But they´re right, aren´t they?

If Sharour is an Iranian agent
and he killed Charles...

then we have to act.

Yes.

If you send cruise missiles
into Iran,

the Iranians
will send something back.

Not to us, maybe,
but almost certainly Israel.

And if the Israelis respond
in kind,

you´ll need the balls
to see it through.

Well, without
the flight recorder,

it comes down to a question
of judgment.

Yours.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Helicopter passing ]

MAN: She hasn´t been able
to delete the conversation,

but she has done her best
to lock it up and scramble it.

But you can access it?

MAN:
It´ll be a first if I couldn´t.

[ Helicopter passing ]

[ Cellphone rings, beeps ]

Who the hell is this?

EVANS:
I can´t talk now.

I need to see you.

I can tell you
what happened to Tony.

And to Charles Flyte.

But I can´t talk now.

There´ll be someone monitoring
this phone.

Well, you´re not Tony.

And where Tony is tonight,
he won´t be doing any talking.

Okay?

[ Horn blaring ]

RIX:
350 years of continuous trading,

and shifting your fucking assets

is bringing my bank
to its knees.

Don´t blame me, Michael.

I run the company,
not the country.

Always the last to know.

Last to know what?

Look sharp, Sir Michael.

Room for one more inside.

CLARK:
What are you doing here?

Didn´t you get my message?

[ Sirens wailing ]

I was wondering if you knew
where Tony Fossett was.

He´s dead, love.

Your guess is as good as mine.

I mean where his body is.

You come in here once before,
didn´t you?

Do you know where he is?

He said I could trust you.

Tony Fossett said that?

He´s at my cousin´s place
in Southgate.

[ Keys clicking ]

Gotcha.

FOSSETT:
I´ve decided you´re on my side.

Everyone else
might have given up on me,

but I´ve still got, well... you.

Where is she now?

You´re wondering if this fella
here, Sami Sharour...

MAN:
Gravesend.

was on the fatal flight
with our ex-prime minister.

JACOBSON:
First Scarrow. Now Sharour.

Things are getting out of hand.

You´re the public face
of this company, Paul.

You´re going to have to take one
for the team.

So this is all of you, is it?

You all agree with this?

You all agree?

Well, fuck the fucking lot
of you!

WRIGGLESWORTH:
Thank you.

Just a precaution.

EVANS:
I can´t talk now.

I need to see you.

I can tell you
what happened to Tony.

And to Charles Flyte.

At this point,
she was at Hungerford Bridge.

There´ll be someone monitoring
this phone.

DAWKINS:
Well, you´re not Tony.

And where Tony is tonight,
he won´t be doing any talking.

She´s not in Gravesend.

She dropped the phone in a boat.

She´s wherever Tony Fossett is.

So you were bugging
Tony Fossett?

- Yes.
- Why?

We´re not told.

Trigger words?

Nightlight.

Go on.

[ Voice breaking ]
I may have got him killed.

I´m so sorry.

I know he was your friend.

I just wanted to help him,
but now...

How?

Do you know who Sami Sharour is?

Yes.
Of course.

I thought he was involved
in Charles Flyte´s death.

I passed the information on
to Tony.

Why?

You´d lost faith in him.

And you know this because?

I was eavesdropping...

on your private conversations
with him.

If it was your information
that killed him,

then he died in vain.

I already knew
about Sami Sharour.

But I was wrong.

It wasn´t Sharour.

Tony saw that.

And I wanted you to know
what he saw.

He said if we´d seen it,
others must have, too.

What others?

[ Door opens ]

They´ve come for me.

What?

Hold it.

- MAN: Is she in there?
- WRIGGLESWORTH: They´re busy.

Prime Minister,
you are in great danger.

Stay right where you are.

We´re intelligence officers.

You´ll have ID, then.

Prime Minister,
step away from Agnes Evans.

Who sent you?

We´re from MI6.

Our information is
that she may be armed.

I´m not here to hurt you.

Stop right there.

No more than a minute.

I want your hands in the air

and your MI6
authorization codes now.

They don´t want me talking
to you.

You think this is why Tony
was murdered?

I know it was.

I heard it.

They wanted his phone and they
wanted these photographs.

He thought
whatever was in that container

brought down the plane.

It got damaged... an accident.

He said it was like him...
It fell off the wagon.

Agnes Evans,
I´m arresting you for offenses

under the Official Secrets Act.

You do not have to say anything,
but anything that you do say

could be used in evidence
against you.

Oh, for Christ´s sake.
Take it easy.

Prime Minister,
if I could just take...

No, you damn well won´t.

So, can you run the story?

Well... I can.

But do these really prove
what he´s saying?

Write the story, Ellis.

Tom?

You´re doing the right thing.

You know Felix is muttering
about a vote of no confidence?

At a time like this.

Is he crazy?

Mm.

What are the Iranians saying?

Well, they deny
any link with Sharour

or the death of Charles Flyte,
naturally.

But there´s evidence out there,

and the press are digging...
Here and in the U.S.

MI6, CIA.

It begins to look
pretty compelling.

Yes. Well, what I´ve got
is pretty compelling, too.

Mm.

Ellis Kane´s going to be
a lone voice on that one.

Still fighting my corner, John?

Mm.

Go to bed, Tom.

Everyone´s waiting
for your decision on Iran.

I think we all agree
the future is what is important.

This country needs companies
like PetroFex and RCB.

Nations and corporations both
need to be run responsibly...

for the greatest benefit
of the stakeholders

and with leadership
equal to the task.

I believe we´ve secured
the future of our companies.

Now we need to do what we can
for our friends in government.

DURRELL:
Sir Michael.

[ Telephone ringing ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

DAWKINS:
So what´s going on?

So how did this get out?

And, Tom, Ellis Kane
was arrested last night.

On what charge?

Offenses under
the Terrorism Act.

You´re joking.

Possession of material
and photographs.

This is all bullshit.

It´s misinformation.

They just want me to go to war.

Does this entire country
want war with Iran?

Is that what they´re saying...

That all I have to do is say
the word and everybody´s happy?

Because that would be
the easiest thing

in the fucking world!

WOMAN ON TELEVISION:
It´s a day of reckoning

for Tom Dawkins
and members of his government,

who are split
over his stance on Iran

and its alleged involvement
in the death of Charles Flyte.

So, are you coming in or not?

Good.

YELLAND: I hope you know
what you´re doing.

Thank you.

I want Ellis Kane released
today.

Now.

DUCHENNE: She was in possession
of documents.

Yes, that I gave her.

Do you want me arrested as well?

Make life a lot simpler.

Look, Laura,

there´s a strong possibility
that your opposite number at MI6

has been sitting on
crucial information

about the death of Charles Flyte
that points away from Iran.

And Ellis Kane has that story.

She´s one of the good guys,
Laura.

Like you.

And while you´re at it, you can
release Agnes Evans as well.

DURRELL:
I´d like you to consider this...

The deadline debacle
with PetroFex,

the bandying about of state
secrets during the drone strike,

the allegations of war crimes,

the humbling of our great nation
he brought about

by offering to exchange
emissions for rupees.

[ Murmuring ]

And now he´s appeasing
the Iranians,

despite a clear link with
the murder of Charles Flyte.

[ Murmuring ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

KANE:
Tom?

Tom.

I´m sorry they buried
your story.

But there´s something else.

There´s someone
you need to talk to.

I´m afraid I haven´t got time
right now.

We´re in a hole.
Stop digging.

They killed
our fucking prime minister.

Accept it.

The majority of people
in this country

do not want war with Iran.

These are the only numbers
that really matter.

You have a choice.

Come into the chamber now

and announce retaliation
against Iran

or come in there and resign.

And what if I don´t?

Then right after the debate,
we´re coming back in here,

and every man jack on that list
will raise his right arm

and throw you
out of that window.

WRIGGLESWORTH:
[ Clears throat ]

Paul Clark´s here, sir.

I think you should hear
what he has to say.

Do you know why we always find
ourselves deep in the shit, Tom,

you and me?

We just didn´t go
to the right schools.

For fuck´s sake, Clark.

They´re gonna do to you
what they did to me.

They´re gonna cut you off
at the knees.

They all want war, you see.

That´s your problem.

Gets you out of jail
with the banks.

Conflict starts over there,

capital will flee the region
like there´s no tomorrow.

And this is where it will come.

Our banks
will be drinking it up.

And the oil companies,
the markets,

the multinationals,
the Americans.

Works on just about every level.

Wouldn´t you say, Felix?

I´d say that if somebody kills
your prime minister,

you strike and you strike hard.

Sharour is no terrorist.

The only reason he went to Iran
so many times

is ´cause I sent him.

And that mosque in New York...

He used to drag his nephew
out of there by his ear.

Just thought you´d like to know.

[ Door opens, closes ]

What´s the matter, Felix?

Facts don´t fit the strategy
any longer?

Facts?

From Paul Clark?

[ Chuckles ]

I´ll see you in the chamber.

How you feel?

[ Exhales deeply ]

You can do this, Tom.

Step out of the shadows
and be the man.

You´ve brought it all
within reach.

You want to throw it away now?

Everything you´ve ever wanted to
achieve standing in the wings

can still be done,
but not if you duck this.

Is that what you think
I´m doing?

Ducking?

The principled stand.
The man in the white suit.

Talking it up
and never really engaging.

Do you want to change the world,
Tom?

You have to live in it first.

SPEAKER: Honorable members of
this house, the prime minister.

The Iranians did not kill
our prime minister.

[ Murmuring ]

SPEAKER:
Order.

Order!

Let the prime minister speak.

Order!

PetroFex did.

[ Murmuring, shouting ]

SPEAKER:
Order!

Order!
Let the prime minister speak!

It seems the company
was transporting

a sample of the new drone fuel

in the plane
the prime minister was using...

The same drone fuel that we now
know accounted for the ferocity,

though not the onset,
of the explosion at Scarrow

which killed 19 people
and injured 94.

The container was damaged
in an accident

at Houston Airport in Texas

and probably came into contact
with a catalyst in the hold

when the plane passed through
an electrical storm.

[ Murmuring ]

Am I certain
of this information?

No, I´m not.

[ Indistinct shouting,
laughter ]

SPEAKER:
Order!

Am I certain that Sami Sharour
blew the plane up

acting on Iranian instructions?

No, I´m not.

[ Murmuring ]

Am I sure
that a shadowy coalition

of the markets, the banks,
big business, and Americans

will go into meltdown
if peace breaks out?

Again, no, I´m not.

But I put this to you...
Are we going to toss away

countless British
and Iranian lives

on the strength of information
we´re less than sure of?

You tell me.

Because you´re going to
have to vote on this.

So let´s put ourselves
on the line here for once,

like Agnes Evans did,
like Tony Fossett did.

Let´s forget party allegiance,
forget vested interests,

forget votes of confidence.

Let each and every one of us
think only of this...

Is this war justified?

- MAN: Hear, hear!
- [ Murmuring ]

Is it what the people
of this country want?

- [ Murmuring ]
- SPEAKER: Order.

Is it going to achieve
what we want it to achieve?

And if not, then what next?

[ Murmuring ]

Order!

Well, I´ll tell you
what I think we should do.

We should represent the people
of this country.

Not the lobby companies
that wine and dine us

or the banks
and the big businesses

that tell us
how the world goes ´round.

Not the trade unions
that try and call the shots.

Not the civil servants
nor warmongering generals

or the security chiefs.

Not the press magnates

and multimillionaire donors
demanding dinner at Number 10.

Not the whips.
Not the party line.

Not the status quo.

The people of this country,
I put it to you,

do not want another war.

Of that I am sure.

Sure enough to stake
my political career on it.

- [ Cheering, shouting ]
- SPEAKER: Order!

- Tom, please. Enough.
- Order!

No, John, it´s not enough.

It´s not nearly enough.

I´ll tell you
what enough should be.

Enough would be learning
from our past

and not bulldozing our way
into another unwarranted,

illegal war.

- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.

- Enough?
- SPEAKER: Order.

I say enough would be returning
democracy to this house

and to the country
it represents.

- Yes!
- Hear, hear!

To that end,
I take the unprecedented step...

of calling for a vote of no
confidence in my own government.

[ Murmuring, shouting ]

What the hell is he doing?

SPEAKER:
Order.

If you want war with Iran
and you want business as usual,

go ahead.

Vote against me.

But if you are prepared to take
back responsibility

and to take a step
into uncharted territory

for something
that you really care about...

something that you believe
is right,

join me and vote
against this government.

[ Cheering, shouting ]

SPEAKER:
Order!

Order!

Order!

Order!

- Order!
- [ Shouting continues ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

All right.
Stand back.

[ Shouting fades ]

KANE:
When I first met you,

I didn´t think
you had it in you.

You know what?

I think maybe you´ll do it.

I think maybe you really will.

I don´t know.

You get to the top,
and you realize...

it´s really only the middle.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in.

- Welcome back, sir.
- Thank you.

WOMAN: It was you that brought
those cowboys here!

Your government!

So what are you gonna do?!
