but not for a wedding.

I also know that Seif Omar

is, at this moment, in Zabid.

But... but it's not intelligence

of an actual plot underway, is it?

It's supposition, not intelligence.

I know Waleed Ahmed inside out.

I've analysed his speeches,

I know how he thinks.

He's trained as a pharmacist.

I know Seif Omar's intentions

and I can see no other reason

why these two would be meeting.

What is it exactly

that you're asking of us?

Well, he's travelling to

Yemen on Thursday, so we do have

the option of arresting him at

the airport. However, as we do not

have enough intelligence to detain

him or charge him, we are asking

that you keep a 24-hour

watch on him once he lands in Yemen.

So your instinct is telling you

that a plot is now underway?

I believe there's a compelling case

that a plot is now underway, yes.

OK. Let's do it.

Thank you.

Gareth, will you speak

to your people in Yemen?

Yeah.

Well done.

Thanks.

We'll see what he gets up to

once he's out there.

And then this kid takes the ticket

straight out of my hand,

and when I try to grab it back,

he starts shouting,

"This man's trying to kidnap me,"

so everyone stops.

I panic and I let him go

and he's gone...

Hi.

Hi.

Thomas?

'They've lost him.

'He was in Zabid. They trailed

him to Al Hudaydah

'and then they lost him.'

Al Hudaydah?

'It's on the Red Sea.

Across from Eritea. A dead end.'

What was he doing there?

'Staying with a cousin who is

saying that Waleed left in the

'morning to visit someone else,

but he didn't know who.'

Did they lose him

or did he lose them?

'No idea. They're not going to

tell us that they

'fell asleep watching the house.

And the cousin isn't going to

'tell the PSO where he was going,

even if he was just going shopping.

'Anyway, the sum of it is that he's

gone and we don't know where.'

Hold on, hold on.

My guess is that he has taken

a boat across the Red Sea

and then travelled by land to Cairo.

There's a connection

between castor oil production,

ricin and a man called

Ismail Yassin.

'Who?'

Ismail Yassin. He lives in Cairo.

There's a connection between Yassin,

Seif Omar and Seif Omar and Waleed.

Find Yassin and I bet

we'll find Waleed.

Morning.

Good morning, Edward.

I hear you're going to Cairo.

Yeah. They've picked him up out

there. Arrested with three others

on suspicion of manufacturing ricin

at a farm on the outskirts.

Well done.

Thank you.

It's a good opportunity for you.

'Please mind the doors.'

'Doors closing.'

Tony Coveney.

Edward Ekubru. Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to come

and greet you.

That's all right.

We've got a lot on. Coffee

or are you ready to see him now?
