It was another exciting week for men and women of MI5 when a meeting of a group of eight of the worlds richest and most influential men is over run by terrorists and held in an underground bunker. Luckily Ros is on site providing security but unfortunately she had to lose her communications gear thus the rest of the team can't know what is happening in the bunker.
It soon becomes clear that the terrorists are going to put each of their wealthy hostages on "trail" for their companies' dubious activities in the third world. These trials are being aired live on the internet and the evidence is both detailed and embarrassing... so embarrassing that the Americans are threatening an air strike to silence them if MI5 or the police don't silence them first. Even though it is known that the terrorists have rigged the room with explosives it is decided that the room will be stormed rather than risk an international indecent. Things look like they might work out when Ros manages to convince one of the terrorists that their leader is less than sane; she unlocks the rooms lift which allows easier access to the room so one MI5 officer can go down and try to talk them out of it by explaining how their financial backer was just using them.
As with all Spooks episodes the cast do a great job and we feel that they are in real danger as we know what has happened to previous members of the team.
