Storyline
| Plot Summary |
MI5 personnel are caught up in a traffic jam in London while escorting the CIA's most wanted terrorist to an arranged CIA handover point, when he is suddenly rescued by armed men on motorbikes. Harry Pearce, the head of Counter-Terrorism at MI5 is blamed for the terrorist escaping. Especially as Harry disappeared shortly after the incident. An ex-agent, Will Holloway, and protégé of Harry's is recalled by MI5 to assist in finding and bringing Harry in. However Harry has disappeared for a reason. Certain that there is a traitor in a senior position in MI5, he enlists the somewhat reluctant Will to help him in uncovering the rat or rats concerned. Written by Woodland Outlaw |

| Trivia | Star Kit Harington received training from an ex-SAS soldier, so he could believably play a former MI5 agent in this film. See more » |
| Goofs | The tidal level of the Thames varies while Harry is being watched by Kassim's sniper, indicating this was shot at different times of day. Some scenes require several takes and film makers can't pause while waiting on tomorrow's high tide. See more » |
