...for something higher than what

this world has to oer.

I strive for a higher ground.

Now, your government,

the government that you voted for,

commit atrocities against

my people all over this world.

Your support for them

makes you responsible.

I'm not a hypocrite.

I will not sit by while my brothers

and sisters are being slaughtered.

(Screaming)

(Ash) The path that has led me here

has been littered with obstacles.

But I have remained strong.

I am sure of my actions.

Then I will not falter.

Until you stop the bombing,

imprisonment and torture of my people,

we will not stop.

We have entered the realm of war,

and I am a soldier.

Until we feel security,

you will be our targets.

You are all responsible

for turning a blind eye

to the butchery of my people.

I'm only a man, but my actions

are the price you pay

for your apathy, for your debauchery.

I've lived amongst you,

but I'm not a part of you.

You've not seen me until now.

I am God's lonely man.

Your 9l1 1s, your 7ns,

are what my people

suer on a daily basis

around the world.

You know nothing of suering.

So now I'm going to show you.

My prayers have all been answered

and no earthly force can

take them away from me.

I will rise up against you.

- (Gasping)

- You'll not forget me.

- (Gunshots)

- (Screaming)

You have killed thousands

of my brothers and sisters.

That much death has a consequence

you will pay for with your blood.

There will be more like me,

I promise you.

And we will bring hell

to you and your kind.

And my conscience is clear.

I have no regrets.

I live forever. I go to a better place.

(Women sobbing)

(Urgent chatter)

What the hell is going on?

You'll need my car.

We need my car.

(Siren wailing)

(People screaming)

(Alarm sounding)

- (Out-of-service tone)

- (Sighs)

- Don't! Stop!

- Where's your jacket?

(Video camera beeps)

My name is Hussein Malik.

for three years I've worked

as an undercover agent

for our Secret Services

and infiltrated Nabil Alawi

and his circle.

Three months ago,

I discovered a plot by Nabil

to steal Semtex for the purposes

of an attack on London.

I informed my controllers

to arrest Nabil.

The following day,

the first bomb exploded.

I met with my controllers.

They tried to take my life.

My life is in great danger.

I need a guarantee of protection.

A Secret Service team

are after me now.

I have enclosed the evidence I have

accumulated and proof of my identity.

(Male reporter) Since sweeping to

power last month in a landslide victory,

the new government has been

quick to make domestic security

the top of their agenda.

Having been given a mandate by

the public with such

a resounding election victory,

it's our duty to follow that lead,

and to prioritize making

our country absolutely safe

from these cowardly terrorists.

(Male reporter) One of

the government's first steps

was the removal of the Secret

Service's old guard, Sir Scott Catesby,

and the passing of

more stringent terror laws

which saw the deportation

of the radical cleric Nabil Alawi.

I am returning to my country

of birth tomorrow

but I am distraught that the country

that is my home is expelling me

on false charges.

I will fight for my corner.

God save the Queen.

(Male reporter)

Last week also saw

the first oicial announcement

into the bombings.

The perpetrators

were a home-grown cell.

None had been identified as

potential threats prior to the attacks.

Meaning they were all cleanskins,

completely unknown to any

of the intelligence services.

(Male reporter) The ringleader,

Ashraf Ahmed,

was personally responsible for

the bombing of the Glassmore Hotel.

The bomb was a timed device

placed in a luggage item,

causing a massive explosion

in the foyer of the hotel.

Ahmed himself was

killed by security services

as he tried to trigger a suicide device

just prior to the foyer device exploding.

Helen James, head of the

Glassmore Hotel Victims Committee,

had this to say about the findings.

I don't see how you solve

the underlying problem

and I don't think anyone really does.

And, of course, this may lead to...

to, you know, more security

and more troops going out

and possibly more people being killed,

but I don't see how

that solves the problem.

(Thunder rumbling)

Ewan! I thought they'd gotten to you.

There you go.

It was with his files.

You must have left it

when you last met.

You knew all about the bombings.

Pretended you were

tying to stop them.

You worked with this Nabil,

then got him safely deported

without arrest.

And I wasn't meant to make it out alive.

You were in line with

a promotion of the new government,

helped them win, got rid of your boss.

Must be happy with you.

Played me perfectly.

Knew all about my wife.

Knew I'd kill anyone you put

in front of me.

You can use her

as an excuse if you want.

But what you do is in your nature.

I love my county.

I'd kill for it and I'd die for it.

Good for you.

The press have been sent

copies of these files.

They show you were responsible.

Those files are nonsense you made up.

No one will believe it.

They might...

if you buckle under

the pressure of the story.

You're out of your mind.

It's in my nature.

(Thunder rumbling)
