Plot Overview

MI5 receive a tip-off from MI6 that a known terrorist intends to enter the UK via an illegal immigrant route. They know Mohammed Yazdi will join a truck starting from Istanbul, and believe that a playboy Prince, Prince Hakim, is involved in the organisation of the route. When questioning the Prince gives them no further leads, Adam decides to go undercover on the truck and attempt to talk Yazdi out of his terrorism.

Things don't go to plan on the truck. Adam is not successful in befriending Yazdi, so the team have to resort to a different plan. Zaf poses as a bandit and raids the bus, throwing the immigrants into a wood. Left alone together Yasdi tells Adam that he knows he's a spy for British Intelligence. With the game up Adam tries to persuade Yazdi that he should help MI5 and Yazdi agrees.

Back in London Yazdi admits that he was travelling to London with the intention of bombing the Houses of Parliament. He warns the team that the plot will still go ahead even without him. He names the man he was due to meet in London, Hussein Hamdradi. Hamdradi is brought in for questioning, but says nothing. Yazdi persuades the team to let him question Hamdradi and the interview reveals that Prince Hakim is masterminding the terrorist cell.

The Prince is brought in, but denies everything. Harry has a bad feeling that everything is going wrong, but Juliet insists he let Yazdi question the Prince. When the Prince sits down to meet Yazdi, he removes his glasses. Before anyone can prevent it Yazdi dives across the table, grabs the glasses, and uses them to kill the Prince.

Yazdi's mission, all along was to assassinate the Prince. He wanted to send a message that people should have nothing to do with the oil-rich kingdoms and their decadent ways.
