in a room with a dead girl.

An undercover agent you put in danger.

- So what?

- And I've got this.

Listen with Mother.

HATHAWAY:
(ON RECORDING)

Oh, they won't find out about this.

It's all offshore. It's secure.

F*** you, Donovan. F*** you!

You never met Andrew Hathaway, did you?

MAN:
No. Who's he?

He's the grand architect

of recruiting agents from people like you.

Like me?

Yeah. Like you, Warren.

And Jamie Fullerton, Louise Leigh.

The girl with Donovan?

- They were like me?

- Yeah.

"Were" being the operative word.

Hathaway sold them out.

Couldn't you have saved them? Step in?

(CHUCKLES) I never knew they were recruits.

I was in at the start,

but Hathaway kept it all clandestine.

That's MI-f***ing-6 for you.

I always had a feeling about him.

His grudge against Donovan

was always more vengeance than justice.

- So I'm your big secret.

- Yes. Only I know that you're really one of us.

So what would have happened

if he'd made me, like he made the others?

Donovan only got to the others

because Hathaway exposed them.

We didn't get Donovan this time,

but with what you now know...

Hang on. At what point can I get off

this train and become a real copper?

Ah. (CHUCKLES)

I'm afraid this particular train

is never stopping.

If you want out, you're out.

But you'll be on your own.

That's not what you sold me on.

Things change. Sacrifices have to be made.

Why didn't you warn me

you were watching at the docks?

I could have been killed by one of those

trigger-happy task force f***ers!

But you weren't, were you?

You know, there's only one

big flaw in this whole thing.

What's that, Warren?

Everyone turned bad.

- Hello, you.

- Hi.

(SIGHS)

Misdirection.

Huh.

- How did he...

- Mr Donovan always knows.

Yeah.

What now?

You have a choice.

Can I offer you more money than...

That is not one of your choices.

Not one of my choices.

(GROANING)

F***.

(GASPING IN PAIN)

So what now? I jump or you push me?

Suicide or murder.

Oh, it will never look like murder.

Where's Zoe?

Cooking us supper.

- Oh, boy.

- (CHUCKLES)

And I thought nobody could kill me here.

(ROCKS TUMBLING)

(BODY THUDS)

What is it?

Just thought I saw someone I knew.

It's idyllic.

It's just sea and sky.

It's beautiful.

And it's home.
