Iraq has increased the level of its oil reserves

by 24 % since Saddam Hussein was removed.

The country has 133.1 billion barrels

of extractable oil

up from 115 billion barrels estimated previously.

- Under Saddam Hussein... - Fucking bitch!

- ...political isolation meant little new exploratory work

was undertaken.

Closer to home, with the government way ahead in the opinion polls,

the focus of debate in the upcoming general election today

switched from the economy to the domestic terror threat.

The government claims that domestic terror groups

fractured since Osama Bin Laden's death,

and due to increased cooperation with key Middle...

Unbelievable!

People have no idea about the shit storm that's about to go down.

Is this thing real?

Don't play with it.

Have I lost weight?

Was gonna say you look different.

I've lost weight. I mean, I feel good.

It's 50 short.

Get her out of here.

What about my money?

Get your hands off me.

Don't touch me!

You're still fat, Harry.

- Get off! - Bitch.

Yeah.

OK. Now.

Follow them.

Take a left here, head to the center of town.

I'm going in.

There's too many people.

They're gonna go upstairs, find there's no one there and that'll be it.

No.

Give me your fucking gun.

Wait here.

Excuse me, sir.

Move!

Ah!

He never stated his destination?

He gave his driver instructions as we went along.

He never suspected who you worked for?

No.

The Semtex?

It was taken.

I placed a tracer in one of the blocks the night before.

The tracer went offline when the attack took place.

We're tying to kick-start it remotely now.

The perpetrators knew we were gonna be there at that time.

They knew where we were going.

And you didn't stop them?

Perhaps you don't belong here any more.

So we've no idea to whom the Semtex was to be delivered?

No.

You and I, Charlotte, in five.

Difficult times. He's getting pressures from on high.

You did what you could, Ewan.

Charlotte?

Oh.

Present from my ex-husband.

Get that seen to and get some rest.

On my break. I've got two minutes left.

No, I'm not smoking.

I'm not inhaling, I'm walking.

I'm out of breath cos I had to rush back from lunch.

Tuna sandwich. Tuna sandwich and some crisps,

and a chocolate biscuit and a coffee, no sugar.

Hey, we gonna go for drinks? Make it...

about quarter past, yeah?

How's Dad? And the fence?

The garden fence.

Just tell him to wait and I'll help him the next time I'm up

because his back won't hold up. I'll get time off. It's not a problem.

I don't know when. I'll let you know when I know.

Hey, one minute. It's a good job. Gives me time to drink.

Think, I said think!

About whatever. I've got my degree, I can do what I want.

Look, I've gotta go, I'm late. Yep, I love you too.

Bye. Bye, bye, bye.

Sorry.

See ya.

Can I help you, sir? Table for one?

Almost there.

How did you do it?

Slipped.

Doing something strenuous?

Your girlfriend will love the scar.

Hey.

Wife.

Come back in two days, take the stitches out.

Might still be here.

Back in a minute with some painkillers.

Yeah.

It's been confirmed

that a suicide bombing occurred earlier today

at 12:30 in the busy South London restaurant, Driscoll's.

With currently confirmed casualties of 20

and with more understood to be injured.

The restaurant was full of lunchtime customers,

including a large meeting being held

by the 2004 Committee,

an organization which had Middle East energy interests

and championed the Iraq war.

Three backbench MP’s were members.

All are believed to be amongst the fatalities.

The same Semtex that was stolen was used in the bombing.

An element in Whitehall feels that Obama's inclusive doctrine

has spread across the Atlantic and has made us complacent.

They're pushing for sweeping changes.

If they discover that the Semtex was being monitored by us

and that we could have stopped it...

I don't need to tell you the repercussions for this government,

especially with the election looming.

The clock is ticking on all of us.

It's just you and I here, Charlotte.

What can you do for me?

We are here to remember Corporal Peter Walcott Tiernan,

taken from us in the service of Queen and county in Afghanistan.

He bravely answered his county's call, and leaves a loving wife, Louise,

his brothers, lan and Daniel, and his mother, Margaret.

It's at times like these that we must find strength and peace

in the memories of what he meant to us,

an honorable son and brother.

He was older than his 25 years and was the one his family relied upon

since losing their father at an early age.

He undertook his responsibilities with dignity and strength

and maintained a strong family bond.

Remember he said he had a trial for United?

He said he missed out cos he was too fast.

You remember, sir?

Yeah, I remember.

Last letter I got from him, he...

He said the regiment weren't the same since you left.

- How are you, mate? - How do I look like I am?

Cold makes it hurt like a bastard.

I can't sleep properly.

What happened there?

Ah, some stupid accident.

- Is that your wife? - Yeah.

Thinks I'm some sort of invalid.

She can't stop fussing.

You should be thankful.

See that bomb they set off in London?

It was on the news. It never ends. None of it.

What was the point of Pete dying, sir?

Dying in some shithole county for nothing.

- What was the fucking point? - What's the matter with you?

Have some respect for him, for his family.

You got hurt, but you're here. You're alive.

Listen to me,

We move on.

What's here and now, that's all that matters, all right?

Go back to your wife.

If you need help,

you can always find me.

We stick together, all of us.

Have you moved on, sir? From what happened?

Hello?

A car will be downstairs in 15 minutes.

I'm Mark.

Baby daughter.

Take the path through the wood. You'll find her at the other end.

Bit of a walk.

You've seen the news. 20 dead, scores injured.

Semtex was used. You understand?

Perpetrator?

It was strapped to his jacket, self-detonated.

No details on who he was. CNN have no clear images.

There's nothing left of him.

We're bound by procedure.

In this situation, we cannot afford those constraints.

This is off-reservation. It's why you're at my home.

I want you to find who's responsible

and stop him in whatever way you feel fit.

Let it be done quickly.

It'll be you and Mark. He's young but capable.

Very good with a gun, I hear.

I want it low-tech, old trade craft.

If you get caught, I don't want evidence.

I'll supply technical backup and the sweep and clean.

No luck yet with the tracer you planted in the Semtex

but we did find something curious of your man Harry.

No bullets in his automatic. Any thoughts?

Maybe.

You're my hands on this, Ewan, my conscience.

Wipe it clean.

No loose ends.

Where's Harry?

Fat cheapskate owes me money.

Harry’s dead.

I want you to think carefully, more carefully than you've ever thought.

Was there anything...

Anything unusual happened in the last few days?

Anything you know but you're not telling me?

Dead? What are you talking about?

I'm leaving.

You took the bullets from his gun. Why?

I don't know what you're talking about.
