Outline Series 01, Episode 02

Carey is told that the CCTV footage is now redacted by the Security Service.

Unable to find Roberts’s body or any other evidence, she is forced to release Emery on bail, but becomes suspicious and starts to suspect he may be suffering from PTSD.

Emery attempts to track down Roberts himself, and with help from a friend breaks into her flat. He notices somebody else inside and gives chase, getting into a black cab to follow the man’s vehicle. This activity is noticed by homicide detectives DS Patrick Flynn and DS Nadia Latif, who began following Emery despite lacking evidence for a warrant, and by Carey via CCTV in the Counter Terrorism command centre.

The taxi driver locks Emery in the car and drives him to a house in Eaton Square, where he is escorted inside by armed men. Carey orders Flynn and Latif to intercept, but they are parked outside the same address and see nothing.

Emery is locked in an interrogation room, and American intelligence officers report that “the toy soldier is contained”.
