Bodyguard

I want you right beside me, not because it's your job,

but because it's our choice.

This is a very, very dangerous politician.

Someone who must be stopped.

This programme contains some strong language

We've taken the liberty of providing you with a tablet, so the

material can't be traced to your own devices.

Someone acquired clearance to make a secret visit to her suite.

I need to ask you to identify yourself.

He gave the name Richard Longcross.

Security Service.

I'm sure of it.

That was us plotting to build the Death Star.

Julia's snatching the key to Number 10.

We need to do something. Fast.

This never happened.

And if I don't come back, go to the Death Star.

I thought they were sending you a cab.

Yeah. I don't need their shitty cab.

Let's have some nice food, a couple of drinks.

This feels weird.

What about Budd?

He left the auditorium and when he came back in that's when

Mahmood appeared on the stage.

Rob just called me. I need to warn Julia.

What's in the briefcase?

EXPLOSION

From this angle, it's unclear if the explosion originated from the

briefcase.

What's going on here, then, Mr Macdonald?

Whatever Tahir was doing, I'm completely in the dark about it.

There's a simple, plausible story for you to stick to.

And you will stick to it.

Despite the heroic efforts of our emergency services,

the Home Secretary Julia Montague succumbed to her injuries and

was pronounced dead.

Dave, you've shot yourself.

It was a blank round.

Is there something you're not revealing to us regarding the

state of your mind before, during, or after the attack?

Nadia, we're desperate to find the person who's been creating

these devices.

Two attacks on the Home Secretary, Budd PPO

for both... Mahmood's briefcase... I don't trust him.

He's hiding something.

Sir. We heard back from Fort Halstead. Thank you.

Shit.

The device wasn't in the briefcase.

From the pattern of damage and the expansion of the blast wave,

it appears the bomb was planted under the stage.

Planted? It couldn't have been, surely...

We don't know how they got access.

We're still checking security cameras and interviewing college staff.

The sniffer dogs, they would have...?

Materials that survived the explosion suggest that the

device was housed in an airtight container.

When the detonator was triggered, it could've opened a valve to

allow in oxygen to support combustion of the TATP explosive.

Was it triggered by a timer?

Remnants of circuitry were detected at the scene.

Fort Halstead believe it could've been a pressure sensor...

..designed to trigger the device when weight was applied to the stage.

That's why Mahmood needed to get backstage.

The Home Secretary had avoided activating the pressure sensor.

Mahmood needed to get up there and set it off.

Although that would create the risk of the device being triggered

at the wrong time, by a person venturing on to the stage

before the Home Secretary's speech.

Hence why we're also investigating whether the pressure sensor

or the device itself were controlled by a timer, or...

..if they were activated remotely.

By another person, not Tahir?

We're looking, Ma'am.

I've got my suspicions.

You all right, Skipper?

I need updates from all the Home Secretary's PPOs and CPOs.

Anything suspicious, anything out of the ordinary.

Something the matter, Tom?

We lost Kim! Nobody's heard a word off you about it.

I'm sorry, mate, you're right.

I've been in my own head.

Let's talk about this over a pint, eh?

All right.

PHONE VIBRATES

David Budd.

David...?

It's Louise Rayburn.

Look, I'm not permitted to reveal details of the wider inquiries.

This didn't come from me, OK?

The bomb wasn't in the briefcase.

It wasn't your fault.

David?

Thank you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Let's head round to the Red Lion.

My shout.

Sarge. I thought you'd better see this.

Go back.

There's over an hour of footage missing.

What? Is this on all of them? Yes.

Right. Save this all to a drive and get it up to the boss. OK.

Your story about this guy Longcross and the missing CCTV... Yeah.

I believe you.

The hair was blonde, pushed back off the forehead.

A bit more like that?

Yeah.

The eyes were darker. Yeah.

And that? Yeah, that's perfect.

What about the nose?

The nose was wider at the tip.

What about his jaw? His jaw was a bit squarer. A bit more.

Hair? Is that right?

His hair was shorter.

Yeah. Eyes were maybe a little narrower.

His forehead a little taller... Age OK?

He's a bit older-looking than this. Slightly narrower...

How's that looking?

Yeah, that's starting to look like him.

Sarge? What you got?

Brilliant.

Cheers, mate.

Finally. We've got your shooter.

Sergeant Andrew Apsted.

Served in Helmand Province, two tours.

And get this -

he was EOD.

This could be the original bomb-maker or an accomplice

of Longcross.

Sorry...

Brings it all back.

It's... It's brilliant.

Listen, David...

With everything that's going on, maybe we've

not paid enough attention to the fact the shooter blew his

brains out right in front of you.

You lost your Principal and one of your team.

I think it'd be a good idea if you stepped away

from the inquiry and we get you some time with the counsellor, yeah?

No. No way.

Figuring out who killed Julia, that's all that matters.

That's the only thing that's going to make me feel OK again.

I think it runs deeper than that.

You just called her Julia.

Sorry, Nadia, I don't know what's keeping them...

We're good to go.

We've got some plausible locations of the car park you described.

I'm afraid we weren't able to see your husband's car or any

type of meeting in any of the CCTV cameras relating to

the car parks themselves.

We've looked at adjacent locations and produced some images of

persons of interest.

Just take your time with these, Nadia.

Do you recognise this man?

The interviewee is shaking her head.

What about him?

The interviewee is shaking her head.

The interviewee is shaking her head.

The interviewee is shaking her head.

Do you...

..recognise this man at all?

Take your time.

Sorry.

It's OK.

Nadia, thank you.

Well done, Nadia. That was great.

What about this man?

You can't do that.

I am doing.

This wasn't included in disclosure.

Nadia, please look at the e-fit.

Nadia? Please. Lives depend on this.

Do you know this man?

Is this the man your husband met?

Nadia has already described the man as being IC4/6.

Were you too afraid to tell the truth?

Was the man actually white?

Is this the man your husband met?

Is this the man your husband met?

Nadia has already described the man as being IC4/6.

Were you too afraid to tell the truth?

Was the man actually white?

Is this the man your husband met?

It's not evidential.

You know the process for photo ID.

And an e-fit's never going to give a true likeness.

There's every chance she's mistaken.

Right now, though, boss, that's not really the point, though, is it?

As your DCI, Louise, I'd say actually it is.

You just going to sit on your hands?

David, leave this to us. No-one was following up on Longcross.

I had to do that bit myself. We have got to consider all of the possibilities.

One of which is the Security Service were involved in the

assassination of a Cabinet minister. We don't know that.

That's what we need to find out! Longcross is our lead.

Well, from now on every step we take's by the book. What's next then? Going "by the book"?

That's for me and Commander Sampson to decide.

He's only trying to help, boss.

David!

Look, Sharma's under a lot of pressure.

He values your contribution. We all do.
