in order to do my job.

To save lives.

You people,

you're all the same.

You want

the freedom to attack me,

but without me, you wouldn't

have much freedom at all.

Your girlfriend should have

kept her mouth shut.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

FEMALE ANNOUNCER:

Ladies and gentlemen,

at this time of heightened

security, it is important...

Claudia, it's me.

Turn off your phone, dump

your bag, dump everything

and meet me at the first

place I took you to.

The first place

I took you to.

FEMALE REPORTER:

The accused, Farroukh Erdogan,

appeared briefly

in court number one

and pleaded not guilty to

all the charges against him.

They want you.

In court.

To give evidence.

Are you okay

with that, Emir?

I saw you.

With my father.

There's a lot of blokes

look like me.

...what information

should be kept secret

in the interest of

national security

and what information

should be disclosed...

We leave at 9:
00.

I'll drive you

there myself.

...what seems increasingly

a crucial question.

We don't know who appeared,

we don't know what was said, we

don't know what's being considered.

The case will

continue tomorrow.

EMIR OVER HEADPHONES:

She don't know...

CLAUDIA OVER HEADPHONES:

Emir, would you...

(PHONE BEEPS)

ANSWERING MACHINE:

New message.

Hi, Claudia,

this is Sophie from Chambers.

Just calling and hope that we can

reschedule our meeting for next week

from Monday to Thursday...

(HAIRDRYER WHIRRING)

(PHONE BEEPS)

MARTIN:
(ON MACHINE) Claudia, if

you're at home, get out of there.

Please meet me at the first

place I took you to.

(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMS IN PAIN)

Come on!

(PANTING)

It's been so long.

Listen, I need your help.

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

Don't.

You're hurt.

I said, "Don't."

You're bleeding. Yeah.

Well, it's not my blood.

Claudia, what happened?

Well?

(WINE FLOWING)

You're safe now.

The informant

is his son, Emir.

Emir?

But he's just a child.

He knows something, Martin.

They're clearly scared of him.

They've put him

in a safe house.

He has evidence.

Of his father's

links to MI5.

I wanted to see how they would react.

(SNIFFLES)

Yeah, well, now you know.

If you even begin to say,

"I told you so."

No, Claudia, I...

Because I...

All I care about is...

We're not strong enough

to fight them, are we?

No.

There's no good way out of this, is there?

There's no...

There is no right

way out of this.

No.

Sorry, Claudia.

Hmm.

So how do we do it?

I'll call them and tell them

that we'll do as we're told.

(LAUGHS) It's that simple? Yes.

That simple.

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

What?

Nothing.

I hate that they hurt you.

I don't want to be here

when you make the call.

I don't want to

hear you do it.

(EXHALES)

(PHONE RINGING)

(SHUDDERING)

It's Martin Rose. I need to

talk to Melissa Fairbright

or whoever it is that uses

that pseudonym, please.

(WATER FLOWING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yes?

Melissa, it's Martin Rose.

I'm calling to

make a deal.

Never mind

your f***ing deal.

Where's the boy?

What?

Emir's gone. He's broken

out of the safe house.

We don't have long.

They'll trace my line.

If they find him, they'll kill him.

They will kill him.

Well, then we have to stop them.

How?

We get him to court.

If we get him to court,

his evidence will protect him.

His old flat.

He's not stupid.

He'll know

they're watching him.

Where would a boy

that age go?

He could be out on the

streets, could be anywhere.

Claudia.

(SPEAKING IN TURKISH)

(READING)

(SPEAKING IN TURKISH)

I sent to my aunt.

"I sent to my aunt."

That's what he said.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Yes?

Right.

Well, keep looking.

(DOOR BELL BUZZING)

MARTIN:
Mrs. Kemmal,

we've learned that

your nephew has escaped.

Has run away from the place where

he was being looked after.

Has he sent you

anything recently?

I have not heard from him.

Or seen him?

No.

Mrs. Kemmal,

we want to help Emir.

But it's more than that.

I think that he could be

in great danger.

We want to protect him.

I made a mistake.

CLAUDIA:

We've all made mistakes.

Here's the evidence.

Everything you need

from Dad's hard drive.

(DOOR BELL BUZZING)

It's them.

Oi!

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

(METAL CLAN KING)

(INHALES)

(METAL CLAN KING)

(GASPING)

(SHUSHING)

You have every advantage

our society can offer.

But will you defend it?

No, you leave that to someone else.

So I fight a war

against men who'd

see you wrapped up

in a mask the moment

you look like a woman.

(GROANS)

(GASPING)

(GROANS)

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Are you all right?

They didn't get me.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Listen, we've got the boy.

Who? What are you

talking about?

Emir Erdogan.

They were going to kill him.

Jesus, Martin.

What the hell have you

got yourself into?

I need you to meet me.

He's not safe with us.

I need you to

look after him.

Make sure that he gets to the

court by 10:
00 tomorrow.

Can you do that for me?

(SIGHS)

All right.

All right, bring him here.

No, I'll meet you at the back of

King's Cross in an hour from now.

Okay.

Back of King's Cross tunnel.

At 3:
30.

I'll be there.

And, Martin...

You be careful.

You know what?

It's a bit

bloody late for that.

(SIGHS)

(ENGINE STARTING)

Do you think it'll work?

It'll buy us a few hours.

(SIRENS BLARING)

He'll see you.

No, he won't.

Because he's not coming.

If he was,

he'd be here by now.

He doesn't

trust you, Devlin.

And you assured us

you could control him,

steer him in

the right direction.

Sorry. I have to

make a decision now.

Do you understand?

Devlin.

I'd never have thought.

Only two people knew

I was at the football.

You and MI5.

The moment he asked

about the game, I knew.

Your son's?

Yes.

How old is he now?

Old enough to know how

much I f***ed up his life.

In so many ways,

you were the worst thing

that ever happened to me.

Oh.

You were undoubtedly the worst

thing that ever happened to me.

They'll be waiting for us.

I know.

What if they stop us

before we get to court?

Well, at least we tried.

MALE ANNOUNCER:
This is

a security announcement.

If you see anything suspicious

or anyone acting suspiciously,

please report it immediately to a

member of staff or the police.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello, yeah?

CLAUDIA:
Okay.

You know the plan.

MALE REPORTER:
Mr. Rose...

(CAMERAS CLICKING)

Will justice be

served in court today?

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(LOCKS CLICKING)

Mr. Altman,

are we ready to proceed?

My Lord,

I call Emir Erdogan

to answer any questions that the

court or Miss Simmons-Howe may have.

I swear by Allah that the

evidence I shall give

shall be the truth, the whole

truth and nothing but the truth.

How's the neck?

Much better.

That is good news.

I wondered

if you and I might...

We could go for breakfast.

You and I?

Yes. Wouldn't that be nice?

CLAUDIA:
Emir, I have

some questions for you.

Do you recognize this?

That's my memory stick.

My Lord, might this
