- Quotes
Adam Carter: Ruth, I uh, I need some research done on one of the people involved.
Ruth Evershed: Zuli?
Adam Carter: Uh, no, he's being covered, and Zoe and Danny will be on the hit man. No, I want you to, uh, check out our friend, the bookseller, Harakat. I sometimes think it's useful to look at an operation from a less obvious viewpoint. You know, cover all the bases. Harry tells me you're the soul of discretion.
Ruth Evershed: Did he? Well, yeah, I try.
Adam Carter: Good, thought so.
[He starts walking away]
Ruth Evershed: Oh, and Tom!
[Adam stops and returns to Ruth's station. Ruth realizes she's misspoken]
Ruth Evershed: Sorry. Um. God, so sorry, Adam, uh, I assume that means that you don't want me to distribute my research to the rest of the office as normal?
Adam Carter: That's right, Ruth. I'd also prefer it if it came to me, Adam, rather than Tom.
Ruth Evershed: Yes, yes, of course, Adam, Adam.
Danny manages to keep the author safe but MI5 realises that this could had been an inside job. Someone was very familiar with the MI5's security arrangements.
Adam has an inkling that Harakat might had been the real target especially as he was injured in the attack. They need to find out more about him and Danny is assigned to keep a watch over him.
Harakat sold out his fellow terrorists in Pakistan some years ago and is under the protection of British security which is now under pressure.
Security chief Oliver Mace wants to do a deal with a terrorist leader in Pakistan and Harakat's death is the price of the deal.
Danny and Harakat get close with their mutual love of cricket and there is some location shooting at Lord's cricket ground.
A cynical look at the world of spies in a post 9/11 world. Something Harry Pearce notices as Mace sells out an ally to gain new more untrustworthy allies.
