Then he goes home,

and finds God.

Goes off to live with a tribe

in Balochistan, region of Pakistan.

A spiritual pilgrimage

to the birth place of Ramzi Yousef.

He went through the Madrassas

in Pakistan,

al-Qaeda training camps

in Afghanistan in the 90s.

He's completely committed.

He has the backing

of any number of rich Saudis,

who are sympathetic to his cause.

He's highly organized

and very disciplined.

A few years ago he, uh...

disappeared into Peshawar.

Two years ago,

he turns up here in London.

I'm looking for reliable men,

I can trust.

Well, I appreciate the offer.

I'm offering you the chance

to get the job done right, this time.

So, what would I have to do?

- Delta, Bravo, check.

- Delta, okay.

Bravo, okay.

Stand by, stand by.

Two targets moving towards a

black Jaguar. Registration R-2-8-2.

- 2-8-2.

- Facing up the hill.

Up the hill.

Targets are on the move.

- He's turning left off the main.

- Roger that.

Stop, stop, stop. On the right,

Roger that.

Changing vehicles

to a black X5...

Last 3:
Victor-Tango-Lima.

- Roger that.

On the move to the main,

repeat, on the move to the main.

They're on the move.

Bobby, target is on the move.

Roger that, let them go,

stick with their contact.

What're you doing?

He's not the priority,

we stick with the target.

Negative, trust me on this, Dan.

Do you have the eyeball?

Roger that.

New target's moving.

- He's turning right off the main.

- Roger that.

Stop, stop, stop. He's out of the car,

walking away.

Roger that.

I'm after him on foot.

He's turning left at the junction,

you take him, yeah.

Heads up.

- What time is it?

- Midnight.

Give it a couple of hours.

If there's no movement, I'll go in.

It was Dan's idea,

to follow the bloke.

Dan, I need you to take care

of that thing for me, alright?

- Yeah. See you later.

- Yeah.

- Is that it?

- Not quite. Come with me.

Robert Miller,

Jerry is with the home office.

- Hello Sir, nice to meet you.

- Chris tells me you served in The Paras.

I heard about the ambush at Kajaki.

Very heroic.

Well, that depends

on your point of view, sir.

Very confusing,

this war on terror.

Our enemy does not make the distinction

between a civilian and combatant.

There are over 2000 suspected terrorists

operating in the UK alone...

and that number is increasing daily.

Please, sit down.

Thank you, sir.

Contest 2 Program.

A government initiative...

to deal with the terrorist threat.

Everyone from shopping center managers,

to security guards.

Chris and I, act as...

consultants to the program.

No disrespect,

I've put my time in, sir.

You did, without reservation.

And I'm gonna ask
