Unbeknown to Adam and Fiona, their house is being bugged and they are being watched. It appears that they have been targeted - but by who and why?

Back at Thames House, Danny and Fiona are teamed up to perform a routine bugging operation on a house MI5 suspects is being used by North African terrorists. It's Fiona's birthday, but the day is not destined to be a happy one. A gang, led by Ahmed, appears from nowhere and takes them both hostage - it's the same people who've been watching her. The demand for their release - nothing less than a commitment from the Government to immediately withdraw from Iraq. The Prime Minister must announce this tonight or the hostages are dead.

Danny and Fiona are calm until they are shown a photograph of their dead undercover agent. They are threatended with a nasty death - burned alive, and a gun is aimed at Fiona's son Wes in his school playground. She is asked to choose between him and her husband. She has no choice but to lure Adam in to one of the abductors, Khatera. Ruth, suspicious, alerts Harry and they soon realise they are on the trail of three missing officers. A desperate Harry attempts to persuade the Government to help. But they won't allow terrorists to dictate Government foreign policy and the hostages are not 'civilians'...

Meanwhile, Danny and Fiona attempt to escape, but when they fail one of them faces imminent death. Adam is forced to choose which one dies. Before Adam answers, Danny, resigned to his fate and with seemingly nothing to lose, tells Ahmed where to go. Fiona begs him to be quiet, but it is too late. Furious, Ahmed shoots him. Danny is dead.The team, patched in, hear the whole thing. Harry orders that Adam and Khatera are brought in. But Adam has his own plan - he goes along with Khatera's demand to get into the PM's dinner event that evening.

The team realise with horror that Fiona is only a decoy. The gang are actually targetting the PM himself. Khatera is a suicide bomber, with explosives and poison sewn into her body, and Ahmed has the detonator. But she's starting to panic about her decision and Adam jumps at his last chance, alterting security not to allow the PM to enter. He begs her to tell him where Fiona is. Ahmed, realising he's been let down, covers Fiona in petrol and holds the lighter towards her. Just in time, the SAS storm the building and shoot him. Adam and Fiona are reunited, and Harry and Ruth collect Danny's dead body.
