That is when he finished

his business here.

We can presume it.

Did you tell my Embassy that?

Yes.

These are your farmers.

It is unfortunate for them.

They had no idea

what they were doing.

My problem is I can't talk to Waleed

until I get clearance

from our Minister in London.

That is a madness.

Yes. In this situation, yes.

The ricin is somewhere in your

country right now as we speak.

You must find it in any way you can.

And I can help you.

I can't allow that.

You have a problem that

your Embassy does not believe you.

I do not think that you can see

the wood for the trees.

No interview with your man will ever

reveal what he is planning for you.

Without us there is only chaos.

Civilisation is this thin,

the smallest veneer.

And you and me, we are this veneer,

just about holding everything

together.

Just about!

You can refuse my offer and leave

and the next thing you will know,

I'll be telling you where

that ricin is in the UK.

And that's it. You don't

even have to say yes to me.

Just leave now.

I can't do that.

Call me. Call me any time.

And you will find

I always keep to my word.

Do we follow instructions,

or do we do what is right?

This will always be

the question for us.

Think about it.

Why wasn't I told of the report

that the ricin had been

sent to the UK two days ago?

The information that we received...

In your reports, have you expressed

doubt about my case?

My reports reflect

the situation as I see it.

Take me seriously

when I tell you that my intelligence

on Waleed Ahmed is good.

I am prepared to believe anything

but I need evidence.

And everything

that I've seen so far is tenuous.

Which is why

I need to interview him!

And I am pushing for that.

Not hard enough.

Waleed is lying to us.

He is lying because that ricin

is already on its way to its target

and he is using our regulations

to buy him the time he needs

to distribute it.

We've had this conversation.

Your request is being dealt

with at the highest level.

In the meantime, we wait.

Hello.

Thomas, it's Edward.

The Embassy have information that

the ricin left Egypt two days ago.

Yes, I have that report on my desk.

Why have I only just found out?

I understand that

it is less than conclusive.

Well, that's why I need to speak to

Waleed today, not tomorrow.

I hear what you're saying, Edward,

but your man at the Embassy

there is right.

No evidence was found on the farm,

which makes it extremely difficult

for us to proceed.

You're just going to have to wait.

Goodbye.

Is this it?

Yeah.

Where did you find them, exactly?

In a ditch on the farm that you

told me had already been searched.

I need them analysed right away.

The more reliable option would be

for us to fly them to the UK.

Will they go tonight?

I'll do it right away.

Leave it with me.

Where's your mate?

He's not here.

Sit down.

Leave us, please.

You help me, I help you.

Good.

What's your connection

to Ismail Yassin?

Have you got permission

to interview me?

Yes, I do.

I want that confirmed.

I just confirmed it.

I want to know your connection

to Ismail Yassin.

I don't know him.

Yes, you do.

You were arrested

in his best friend's house.

- So? Does that mean...

- You came here to meet him.

I don't know him.

I know you did.

I told you, I don't know him.

He manufactured ricin for you

for the purpose of committing

acts of terror in the UK.

Manufactured what?

Ricin. For you.

For the purpose of...

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

what you saying? Ricin?

What the f***'s that?

- How the f*** would I know how to do that?

- Who's telling you this?

Two farmers working for Yassin

have already admitted it.

I've never heard of Ismail Yassin.

Yassin himself has admitted it.

This is mad.

This is all mad.

Do you know Seif Omar?

No.

You exchange emails with him.

I have them. I can show them to you.

Do you know Seif Omar?

No.

But you know who he is.

That he's active in al-Dhahab.

You exchange emails with him.

So that's why I'm in here then?

No, you're in here because...

So, wait, does emailing him

make me a terrorist then?

By association?

No, it doesn't.

So, why are you asking me

about him then?

You're going to stay here until

you tell me why you came to Cairo.

Let's get one thing straight -

nothing else matters to me

except Allah's law.

Which you wish to impose

on the world by force.

Force?

Force is your word.

Or would that thought

make me a terrorist?

No.

Not that alone.

So, does wanting something to change

make me guilty of terrorism?

No, it doesn't.

What about the invasion of Iraq?

Does that make everyone who voted

Labour and Conservative a terrorist?

There's an email that was...

I'm British, I'm allowed

to think what I like.

There's an email that was sent...

Me and you, we've both

got the same rights.

An email was sent to you by Seif

Omar in which he wrote,

"The bed linen will be ready

for delivery in five weeks."

Yeah, and it was delivered.

What was delivered?

The linen.

"Linen" is your code word for ricin.

What the f...?

What the... There is no code!

This is all wrong!

How can you even think that?

So, is that why I'm in here then?

A linen order for my wife?

You know, I thought you were

mental before, but this?

So, I'm in here,

I'm in an Egyptian police cell

because I ordered bed

linen for my wife?

Mr Ahmed, we know

it's code for ricin.

The sheets arrived at my home!

Four double sheets

and six pillow cases!

You can buy bed sheets on

any High Street in Britain!

Yeah, I know I can, but I don't.

I buy from people who

I want to have my money.

Is that a crime, too?

Not to buy everything

on the British High Street?

So, this is where you got the idea

to have me arrested here then?

Seif Omar exports bed linen!

He's also in a chain of command

that starts with al-Dhahab.

I can't believe I'm hearing this.

Where have you sent the ricin?

Does everyone who mentions

a linen order in their email

get arrested, or is it just Muslims?

You're not getting out of here

until you tell me

where you have sent that ricin.

This is f***ed up.

I've done nothing wrong.

What can I admit to?

There's nothing I can admit to.

Your training as a chemist

has come in useful, hasn't it?

For putting ricin into aerosol

cans for delivery to the UK.

One year's training as a chemist

because my dad wanted me

to go into business with him -

that's your evidence?

I've plenty of evidence -

years of it -

of you justifying acts of terrorism

in your preaching and lectures...

I've got evidence of Bush,

Blair, Cameron and Obama...

celebrating the bombings

of New York, London, Paris...

preaching terror

in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan...

Madrid, Nairobi, Abuja...

ordering drone attacks

on villages in Pakistan...

Every act of murder

in the name of Islam

has been praised

and celebrated by you.

I'm British and the rules are...

I know the rules!

How have you got this so wrong?
