The Capture - Second Season

Ms Bello claims the affair happened four years ago,

while the MP was visiting Nigeria.

Those are the guys I saw getting into the grey van.

To tell you the truth, I'd rather avoid this place altogether.

Not easy when half your clients are in the same building.

Actually, Mr Knox, I came to ask for your help.

I see.

The mask.

Control to Kilo 1.

Gemma, Operation Vanguard is compromised.

The seventh floor is down.

Vanguard needs a new home.

You accuse me of sabotage, and...

...and now you want my help.

China's going to lose the facial-rec bid. The US are waiting in line.

We carry the same burdens. Guilt and regret.

If you want to give yourself the best chance,

you'll free yourself of them.

In an exclusive interview,

we speak to Victoria Bello from her home in Lagos.

This isn't about facial rec - this is about me.

I beg your pardon, Mr Turner? I said, I hope you're proud,

forcing my family away from their home.

He looks like you.

What? Victoria Bello's son, Amandi.

I've been looking at him.

What are you talking about?

Free Shaun? As in Shaun Emery?

Your paternity test has come back negative - you must be delighted.

Why do you think she made those claims? I understand.

Some people will go to desperate lengths to jump the queue.

Mr Knox, do we have a match?

Yes.

Nikolai Mirsky.

Hello?

Hello, Isaac.

Room service.

What the fuck is going on?

Isaac, Isaac,

this place is rigged with cameras - please don't do anything silly.

This is nice at least.

Presidential Suite.

Apt.

You, er, you might want to put some clothes on.

Start... talking.

Yeah, I'm not supposed to do that, mate.

I'm just here to get you.

To get me? £11 for pistachio nuts? Are you having a laugh?

So help me God, I will throttle you with my bare hands.

I don't care how many cameras are watching.

What the hell were you doing outside my door pretending to be me?

What? But... Pretending to...?

I guess they're just, you know, just trying to get in.

Who? Who? Who's trying to get in?

Look, I need you to know, mate,

I honestly had no idea this was going to happen.

Aliza, she is completely in the dark. I only found out

the truth of it myself last night. I haven't slept a bloody wink.

You know, I would find it a lot easier to open up

to you if you unclenched your fists

and stopped looking like you're about to hit me.

It's probably why they asked me to get you.

People look at me and think I can handle myself, but the truth is

I am a bloody coward. Rhys, shut up. Shut up.

Just SHUT UP and listen,

cos I won't say this again.

Who are THEY?

Well...

Bathroom's free.

The real question here is did the Home Office knowingly

obstruct Victoria Bello's application?

Daddy!

Yes!

Oh, hello. Hello. I missed you.

Hey.

So, um, it's safe to come back home,

whenever you're ready. There's no press outside. It's all over.

Are you coming home, Daddy?

Um, well, Daddy has to go back to London.

But I'll be back as soon as I can. Yeah? Go and get your things.

Come on. Come on.

So, you saw it? The result?

I thought there wasn't going to be a paternity test.

You said they were going to fake the results.

It's the right result, Simmy.

What's up?

Well, if she was making it all up,

why did the Home Office hold back her application?

That's exactly what I intend to find out.

Right?

Make yourselves at home.

The bottom floor's all yours.

As long as you stay in your allotted zones,

everybody will get along just fine.

You see the latest video release of your protegee?

You showed me.

Last night? Mm.

I'm talking about this morning. We got the red flag.

Don't you get updates from Chelten Ham?

Cheltenham.

It's a bit like cereal, only it's called Free Shaun.

Or I might go more esoteric, like The Bus Stop.

What are you talking about?

Free Shaun? As in Shaun Emery?

What are you talking about?

Free Shaun? As in Shaun Emery?

She knows she's being watched.

Nothing changes.

We continue as planned.

It's your rodeo now.

Did you obstruct Victoria Bello's application, Mr Turner? Is this

a crisis for the Home Office, Mr Turner?

Mr Turner, do you believe the media now?

No hoodie today, Zac?

I have every faith in the Home Secretary.

He has my full support. Thank you.

"Every faith in the Home Sec"? What are you up to?

Where is Gill today? I'm not his private secretary.

But you are on the server, aren't you? How are you enjoying policy,

by the way? I only ask cos you spend most of your time

seemingly checking my numbers.

Which are spiking higher than ever, by the way.

Congrats on that. So, what's this?

The old band back together again? What goes on tour

and all that jazz? Cos I'm in. If you'll have me,

whack out the old...

Rhys, could you...?

I was just asking Aliza why she's been tracking my stats.

Good question.

What do you expect? I've always been Team Zac.

To be fair, that is true. Even when I was fired, you answered my calls.

I tried you - it wouldn't go through. Yeah. Fucking Vodafone.

But then again, maybe it was just a decoy

to avoid doing what I actually asked you to do, which was to dig up

Victoria Bello's paperwork and check for concerns.

I thought that part of the story would just... go away.

The front page news? Yeah, in The Guardian.

Everyone else has gone with "Lying Bitch", essentially.

Anyway, none of it seems to be doing you any harm.

Aliza, there's going to be an inquiry

and none of us are safe. If the Home Secretary himself had

a hand in obstructing Bello's application,

it's going to come out. So, if you know anything,

Aliza, you need to share it.

I've been calling you all day.

I-I-I've been in Salford, so...

I saw you.

BBC Breakfast.

I assume that was you?

Yes. So, look, I'm just on my way to see the Home Secretary, so...

On your way to becoming Home Sec, according to Twitter.

I need to speak to you.

Gregory Knox came through. The unmasking.

We have a name. Nikolai Mirsky.

Russian ex-military.

I know. We need to get this to SO15.

Except I can't explain how I came by it, so I suggest it comes from you.

Me? At the time of the attack, you were Security Minister.

You had clearance to any number of operations.

All you need to do is say you can't reveal the source.

I-I-I don't know.

It sounds a bit like faking evidence to me.

What?

You've taken the footage, manipulated it,

now you want to hide where it came from.

For use as intelligence, not evidence.

Now you sound like a true believer.

This is a visual on a Russian state-sanctioned killer.

We need to act. We're the only ones that have it.

Look, I know we have other battles.

But we can't expose Correction while we're under attack by

a foreign power. We need to win this one first.

Khadija heard your recording.

The Home Secretary discussing Correction.

You mean Khadija Khan, who interviewed Victoria Bello

and claimed the Home Office obstructed her application?

Isaac, the deal is still intact.

What deal?

Somebody got to you.

Didn't they? I don't know what you're talking about.

Jesus Christ! I'm not recording!

I'm sorry, Detective, but I think I've given you enough of my time.

You can talk to me, Isaac. You can trust me. Don't lie to me!

You really think I need to take this shit from you?

You know how I know it was you... on BBC Breakfast

and not your deep-fake?

You touched your cross.

You run your thumb over the cross on your neck chain when you're anxious.

No, I don't. It's my job to notice things.

Your deep-fake's never done that. Only you.

You're all right, Isaac.

Not that kind of politician, like you said.

Whatever's happened,

whatever they've threatened you with, I can help you.

We can get through this.

Who was it?! Who got to you?!

Garland? The Home Secretary? Who?

You have a case to solve. I have a job to do.

Other battles, like you said.

So why don't we just get on with it and go our separate ways?
