What it’s about. Gemma Bridger is a rising star in British Intelligence assigned to a routine surveillance job at a park.The day starts to go wrong when she finds she's partnered up in a van with Ed Passey, an amiable, handsome agent with whom she had an indiscretion recently. She was just letting off steam, but it looks like Ed doesn't see it that way. The subject of the surveillance is renowned retired spy Nigel Woodgate, who has lost contact with the agency recently and has been seen with a man matching the description of The Corsican - a foreign operative. In the van, Gemma and Ed try to work past their tension but it soon becomes apparent that things need to be said. Things overheat when Woodgate is spotted meeting the suspect and the surveillance equipment doesn't work properly. Gemma rounds on Ed and lays out the law, pushing away her own feelings for him. All is not what it seems, and when Woodgate confronts the duo, the tragic truth of the situation dawns on everyone.

Who’s in it. Hawks stars Patrick O'Kane as Woodgate and Sean Pogmore.
