You've been commanding a desk
for 20 years, and here you are.

Active on a mission. Tell me
what's really going on here.

- GRACIE NOVIN: Go!
- Move!

Zayef, the Demachis,
we have our lead.

I need these weapons,

and you need the millions
Mahir left me.

And I want the other
British soldiers.

ALEXANDER COLTRANE:
We need to get out of here. Now.

[ominous music]

‐ The "Elvira Luna"

is a medium‐sized
freighter ship.

Traffickers tend
to hide arms and drugs

in amongst legitimate cargo.

This one's marked
as agricultural machinery.

‐ All right, what's our rules
of engagement, boss?

‐ It's mostly likely
a skeleton crew

but mafia‐funded and trained
so technically hostile.

‐ Plus, if you got cargo
worth millions,

they'll have added security.

I'm thinking fast‐follow boats.

‐ Well, we don't go by sea.
We go by air.

There a chopper in the area?

‐ Chopper
would be the way to go.

Helo comes in dark.

We come in high and hard.

I say we end up here,
on the blind side

behind the bridge.

Secure the deck,
locate the weapons.

Question is, what do we do
once we find them?

‐ Like I said,
we're gonna blow up a boat.

‐ Well, charges placed
in the engine room

would cause a chain reaction.

‐ But if the intel's correct

and he's planning
on arming cells in Europe,

well, Munich showed us
what Zayef can do.

Let's not give him the chance
to follow that up.

so classified that we had
no knowledge of it,

Mahir and Zayef knew.

And then the stolen

Again, Mahir and Zayef
already knew.

So much so that we suspected
a state player at the time.

Alec, who plays Zayef,
I must say,

was just one
of the most glorious actors

to have on this show.
When Wyatt and Zayef,

and he and Coltrane and Novin
finally kind of meet

for some great scenes.
The performance is magic.

So... I killed your sargeant,
and I let him bleed out.

Did you know what was going
to happen in Munich?

I think for Spencer,
it's a case of

the needs of the many sort of
outweigh the needs of the few.

The arms, the trafficking,
nobody does anything about it.

He's willing to lose some lives
if it means saving lives.

- It's all right.
- Did you know?

Early on, John Michie and I,
we sort of decided

that he wasn't just my boss,
that I'm his godson.

So it's vastly more complicated
than just feeling betrayed on‐‐

on a national, political,
or even a professional level.

We're simple folk, Alexander,
we need a villain

to hiss at from the stalls.

Yeah, well your villain,
he butchered innocent civilians.

It would have
happened somewhere.

Including my sergeant.

It's feeling like
the whole world's

just been pulled
from under your feet.

In the light of your actions,
I have no choice

but to relieve you of command.

like a bloody boy scout.

Until such time,
a decision can be made

by a higher authority.

I am the fucking
higher authority!
