MI5 is humiliated in the press, and relations between British and American intelligence agencies are frayed. Realising that the CIA will demand a scapegoat and that he is soon to be decommissioned from MI5, Harry seemingly commits suicide by jumping off Lambeth Bridge into the Thames.However, its quickly revealed Harry is alive and has faked his death so he can investigate his suspicions that Qasims transport was sabotaged by someone high up in MI5 who is trying to destroy the organisation from the inside. Before Qasims arrest, Harry had tasked his former section chief, Erin Watts Lara Pulver, with going undercover inside his terrorist cell, and is quickly able to use her information to track down the fugitive Qasim, who is hiding in the English countryside. Harry does not call in MI5 and instead meets with Qasim to offer him a deal he will get Qasim what he wants if he gives him the MI5 contact who helped him escape. Qasim responds by revealing he discovered Erin was an undercover agent and has taken her hostage. He shoots Erin in the stomach and tries to force Harry to finish her himself lest she die a slow death which will be recorded for her daughter to see. Harry cant bring himself to do it so Erin takes the gun and shoots herself to spare her daughter the video. After this, Qasim agrees to Harrys deal. ........
