Prime Target

- Yes! - Yeah!

Doing good?

- Any shots needed or anything? No? - No.

I wanted to contact you, tell you what was happening.

But it's just all been too much.

Ed, look, it's all right.

I was bouncing back.

You know, coping with the rejection.

It wasn't a rejection.

It wasn't.

Hey, come here.

It's all right.

It's okay.

What can I do to help, eh?

Can I stay here?

I don't know where else to go.

Stay here?

I have work to do.

Work? Ed, what is going on?

Adam, don't ask me to say more.

That's what this is all about.

Your work.

Yeah.

Well, yeah.

Of course.

That head of yours.

It's gonna get you into trouble someday.

I'll be down in a bit, okay?

It's a great new office you got.

Who's paying the bill?

These are Axiorn's offices.

They bankroll our operation.

Their interests and ours intersect.

They do, huh?

Well, they killed Olson, and they would have killed me too.

And Ed for that matter as well.

- That wasn't me. - Great.

So, here's me thinking you were in charge.

Yeah, well, another illusion shattered.

What do you need?

You want a change of clothes?

Take a shower? Maybe a cup of coffee?

No! What I...

What I need, Jane, is for someone to explain to me

what happened to the woman that practically raised me.

I trusted you.

When you're ready, we'll talk more.

Get her a coffee and something to eat.

And make sure the doors are guarded at all times.

Shift will be finished soon.

Okay.

Can I stay here tonight?

Sorry.

I don't think my boss will wear that.

Yeah, it's for a few nights.

Just so I can finish this.

My auntie has a flat in East London.

She never uses it.

It's a wee small but...

Adam, I...

that would be... I don't know what to say.

Thank you's fine.

I can drive you. I'm owed a couple of days here anyway.

You can do your work and I'll look after you.

Right. I gotta go. It's almost closing time.

Yeah. He's in the downstairs.

Yeah.

I don't know. Like a few hours ago, maybe?

Yeah, he's...

Yeah, I'm gonna drive him myself.

Later. Yeah.

Okay.

Thought you'd forgotten me.

No chance.

I'm nearly finished here.

Who were you talking to?

That was my auntie Laura there.

So, she says that you can have her flat to yourself for the rest of the week.

And maybe even next week as well, if you want.

Does that give you enough time for your Nobel Prize? Does it?

- Maybe. - Maybe?

Loving the self-belief.

What?

What I'm working on, I'm...

I'm close.

Never doubted you.

You know, I actually really missed you.

Well, I missed you too.

So, what do you think? What should I say to Auntie Laura?

Or, you know, if you prefer, I can drop you at your da's.

No. London would be great.

Auntie Laura's it is.

Almost there.

As I remember, there's an amazing café around the corner.

Where are we?

I told you.

Not long.

Your auntie lives here?

It's a nice place.

Ed, listen. We'd better talk.

What's going on, Adam?

Listen, just do what they say.

Let me out.

- Just finish your work. - Open the door.

Just finish the theorem. Work it out. Okay?

- And I swear, Ed, it'll be fine. - Oh, God.

No. Please don't do this. Please.

Don't do this.

You do know that it was real though, right?

Okay? It was real.

This whole time...

This whole time you were with me.

You knew.

Oh, God.

- They're gonna kill me. - No.

- They're gonna kill me, Adam. - They're not.

No, you're far too important to kill.

Me on the other hand...

You're nothing. Zero.

Get off me. Get off.

Adam!

Adam!

Andrea.

James.

Such sad news about Charan.

My God. What you've been through.

I'm so sorry.

I haven't been able to sleep since I got back.

Just been thinking...

all this carnage.

Where did it all begin?

- Andrea. - Bayt al-Hikma.

And you know how much I've invested in searching for it

with such high hopes.

But now honestly,

- I wish I had never heard of it. - Stop.

Don't reproach yourself.

Take it from one who knows...

that way madness lies.

You're an historian.

Your task, as far as I can make out,

is to cast light on whichever mysteries remain to us.

To help us understand.

I know, but while I was out there,

it seems the chamber didn't just appear by accident.

Someone was looking for it.

What?

And blasted their way in.

Do you believe this?

How did they know where to look?

- Hi. - No!

You're gonna wanna take it slowly.

You've been sedated.

Here.

Yeah, the nausea should pass.

Soon enough.

We got breakfast for you, if you feel up to eating.

Anything you like. Just ask Bobby, he'll get it for you.

- He's awake. - Okay.

Adam.

Yeah.

Lovely guy, right?

He was assigned to you just to keep an eye on you and your work.

But I guess he got in a little over his head.

What am I doing here?

Well, he thought, we thought, that it would be best to bring you in.

You know, under adult supervision.

You're precious to us, Ed.

And as you can see, we got everything you need.

And then some.

I believe you've been looking for this.

Safiya Zamil's thesis.

You want me to build it for you.

The prime finder.

Oh, come on. Who are you kidding?

You must be pissing your PhD pants right now.

This is your dream, Ed.

This is what you were born to do.

We're basically the good guys.

Seems like it.

You know, a key that can break any digital lock

used to be a pipe dream.

Then they thought maybe quantum might do it.

But quantum is... it's, like, a decade away, right?

This is the fast lane.

But you don't care about that, do you?

You just want to know.

You're a purist, right?

Hey.

I respect that.

Okay. So, here's the deal.

You take as long as you need.

You want to sleep, we'll dim the lights.

You want food, you want TV, you want a string quartet playing,

just say the word.

Ed...

finish what you started.

Because I can promise you one thing.

You'll never get this chance again.

Go on.
