subconscious makes up its own mind.

- Any ideas?

- I've got a few

tricks up my sleeve.

- A senior

French counter-terrorism church

has today warned that Isis

has sent dozens of jihadists

to Europe to carry

out loan wolf attacks,

thereby squandering

intelligence agencies

with unsophisticated

attacks while larger...

- Um...

I don't normally do

things like this,

but I've got butterflies

in my stomach just thinking

about it.

Would you have dinner with me?

Nothing fancy, just

a pizza or something.

- That's really sweet

of you, but I'm busy.

I'm sorry.

- I was afraid you'd say that.

These butterflies

feel like lead now.

- You seem to be very

aware of your emotions.

- They keep me sane.

- Oh, is that something

you need to worry about?

- Not when I stay

with my feelings.

- What about when

you need to think?

- Most things of interest

happen without input

from the mind.

- I'm not sure I agree.

- That's because you're

thinking about it.

Have dinner with me.

Don't pay any

attention to your mind.

- Yes.

- Are you sure?

- Give me a time and a place.

- I need some

inspirations, al Harani.

How do you plunge someone

into their unconscious

without making them unconscious?

- So what drove you

out of your mind?

- You've been thinking about me.

- My mind tends to

do that sometimes.

- Don't let it run away with ya.

- You avoiding my question?

- My wife left me

for somebody else,

and I, um,

I realized I hadn't only been

in the wrong relationship,

but in the wrong career as well.

So, um,

I had a bit of a meltdown.

- What kind of meltdown?

- I thought I was going crazy.

I was obsessing all the time,

I was clinging to everything.

And then one day,

it just clicked.

I realized that I had

to just feel it all

and the more I felt, the

more the craziness receded.

And then I moved to the seaside

and I got a job as a gardener,

and began to feel better.

- What did you do before?

- I was a civil servant.

- Well, I could see how

that might not have helped.

So do you have any other family?

- You ask a lot of questions.

- I'm interested.

Sisters?

- I would've liked one, but no.

- Brothers?

- I'm afraid not.

- You look sad.

- You don't let up.

- Are you avoiding the camera?

- No need for them

to know my business.

- Do you want them to see you?

- It's not just CCTV anymore.

They have intelligent video

analytics which uses facial

recognition and process

inspection programs.

- You are being watched.

- We've got algorithms which

can distinguish objects

of interest.

It means that every camera

in the city could potentially

be programmed to monitor

my specific activities.

- I have to warn you,

you're beginning to sound

a little bit paranoid.

- Sorry, I...

I was thinking again.

- Looks like we picked

the wrong night.

I think we should

take some cover.

- So this is it.

Or will be.

I have your list of specifications

so we should be able

to get it all kitted

out over the weekend.

- That's quick.

Old school tie again?

- Incidentally, I wanted

to let you know that we

employ security here.

So you'll be pursuing your

goals in an environment that

not only supports you,

but also protects you.

- As long as it doesn't

interfere with my work.

I need to be autonomous.

It's my technique

and I call the shots.

- I knew immediately that

you were a very strong

and independent woman.

And an extremely attractive

one too, if I may say so.

You make me feel

30 years younger.

- I need to get it right,

and get it out into the world.

It has the potential

to have a huge impact.

- I couldn't agree more.

- Wow!

The beach man sounds way more

lovable than the old Etonian.

- You would say that

about a serial killer.

- There must be other ways to

get clinical trials funded!

- None that can get the treat

of malpractice to disappear.

- Doesn't it bother you

that he can do that?

- No, I was too relieved

to give it much thought.

- God, there's nowhere that

these people can't reach.

- Just because he went to Eton

doesn't mean he's a member

of the bloody new world order.

- It's all a part

of the same club.

- This guy was a

hero to me a uni.

- Yeah, you always

had a thing for power.

- And you've always had a

thing for conspiracy theories.

- Does your hero know that

your technique involves

using illegal substances?

- You made the potion.

- Amanita muscaria mushrooms,

two monoamine oxidase inhibitors

to boost the Psilocybin,

and one or two of my

secret ingredients.

You drink this.

There are three doses in there.

Go easy, and keep it

very much to yourself.

- You are a genius.

- Yeah, I know.

- A full spec computer with

industry standard audio software

and interface capable of

delivering multi track audio

up to 192 kilohertz.

I assume you have your

own software as well.

And here

is your sensory

deprivation float tank.

It's filled with 25%

Epsom salt solution heated

to 34.5 degrees Celsius,

plus you have wireless earphones

and a wireless EEG/ECG system.

And as you know, I'm also

providing security in order

to shield you from

negative influences.

And,

well,

the truth is,

I'm afraid the man that you've

been seeing raises concerns.

- The man I've been seeing?

I've only seen him once,

and it's none of your

business who I socialize with.

- On the face of

it, he's a nobody.

But Dennis Macintyre

was until recently

a senior image analyst

for defense intelligence.

A branch of the

ministry of defense.

That makes his somewhat

of an authority

on clandestine operations,

which in itself means nothing.

But Macintyre left the

service under suspicious

circumstances and he

has a brother who's

a minor arms dealer.

That raises concerns.

I can see that he hasn't been

completely candid with you.

- You haven't been

completely candid with me.

- Although the psychological

community has been insisting

for years that mind control

techniques don't work,

you and I both know better.

And we're by no means alone.

The CIA and the NSA

both employ them,

and radical groups around the

world would give right teeth

to get their hands on it.

An efficient technique.

Not to mention the Chinese

and the north Koreans.

You've exposed what

you're doing online.

You've told the world

most of your secrets.

That's partly why I stepped

in to offer support.

I was hoping to avoid

making you paranoid,

but the truth of the matter is

you are in need of

constant protection.

- I am not my sister.

I am sane and rational,

and I am in control of

my thoughts and feelings.

I am not my sister.

I am sane and rational,

and I am in control of

my thoughts and feelings.

- Are you okay?

- Fine.

Where did you work when you

were in the civil service?

- Actually, it was the mod.

- What exactly did you do?

- I was an image analyst.

I worked with UAVs, unmanned

aerial vehicles which can

identify a milk bottle from

an altitude of 6,000 feet,
