Episode 5

The drama series, set in 2013 and tracing the future of Spooks, continues. During a surveillance operation upon visiting Korean businessman Lim Kwang Ho, Rob (Andrew Knott) and Kylie (Georgia Moffett), get caught up in a terrorist heist on a city bank.

Alice, the daughter of the chief executive of Union Star bank, has been sent inside wearing a suicide bomb which the terrorists threaten to detonate unless Lim confesses publicly to a secret deal they believe he has with the British Government.

The team quickly ascertains that Leo Whitelaw and his eco-terrorist group, Radius, are behind the heist. Whitelaw has discovered a secret Government deal with Lim to bury Korean nuclear waste on British soil. Charlie (Liam Boyle) believes the heist has to be an inside job and CCTV footage from inside the bank shows that Alice may not be the victim she first seems.

While the team try to control things at the bank, Charlie continues his personal quest to find the MI5 traitors who Hannah believed were behind the London bomb. He breaks into prison camp Windsmere and talks to Abid Malik, a scientist imprisoned for his alleged involvement with the London bomb. Charlie discovers that Malik was actually an MI5 informant and was deceived into thinking the bomb that he helped build would never be detonated, but would, instead, be used to trap the terrorists behind it. Malik also reveals that there's a second nuclear device in existence which the terrorists are still intending to detonate.

Back in the bank, the team goes into action to end the heist. But, with the unpredictable Whitelaw running the show, will they be able to stop him detonating Alice's suicide bomb in time?
