for an enterprise like that...

I am certain he's making his move.

They won't buy it, Edward.

It's how it goes sometimes.

Yeah, I know.

You should come for a drink

with us later.

Yeah.

I'll tell her you're here.

Thank you.

Edward for you.

Right.

She's ready to see you now.

Thank you.

Edward, sit down.

Thank you.

I understand your frustration

and prioritising is a ghastly word,

it's absolutely the worst part

of our work but it has to be done.

I just feel like the resources

would have been made available to me

here and at MI6

if I was being believed.

It's my understanding that the issue

is the weakness of the evidence

you are presenting.

Except this has happened to me

before.

What has?

My judgment being questioned.

On what occasion?

It's just something

I've been aware of.

And I feel like I'm being...

Overlooked?

Yes.

Why do you feel that?

Well, I've seen others

who came in at the same time as me,

I've seen them

get promotion ahead of me.

All of them?

Well, enough of them.

And I feel like I'm being...

I feel like

I'm trailing behind a little.

At least it feels like it.

I see.

Why do you think that might be?

I don't know.

But you believe

that there is a reason

beyond your ability

and professionalism?

Yes.

I'm not aware of anything

untoward, any reality,

that is causing you to feel that.

What's holding back your case,

in this instance,

is the lack of evidence.

And only that.

OK?

OK.

Thank you.

See you later.

God bless mate, see you soon, yeah.

Thanks, bye.

I found an e-mail last night,

sent on November 11th 2011.

Sent to him from an address known to

be used by Seif Omar.

It reads, "The bed linen will be

ready for delivery in five weeks."

Linen is, I believe,

their code word for ricin.

Ricin?

Yes.

Do you have intelligence on that?

He's been on our radar for a few

years now, there's been

nothing beyond the usual until

I picked up an e-mail four weeks ago.

And it details a method of making

ricin by freeze drying

and reusing domestic aerosol cans

with nitrous oxide propellant.

You misunderstand me -

intelligence that this is code?

Well, erm, I'm working

off circumstantial evidence

and, to some extent,

character profile.

It's great for umbrella tips on

escalators and putting on someone's

wilted spinach, but ricin plots

usually end in a puff of nothing.

500 micrograms

is enough to kill you -

and you can put that on a pinhead -

so I'd say it's a pretty good

weapon of terror.

Is there any intelligence of a plot?

He's telling people that he's

travelling to Yemen

this coming Thursday for

a cousin's wedding in Zabid.

I know this to be a lie -

he is travelling to Zabid,
