The capture: 1. Start...talking. Yeah, I'm not supposed to do that, mate. I'm just here to get you. To get me? £11 for pistachio nuts? Are you having a laugh? So help me God, I will throttle ( 掐死, 用手掐脖子 throttle, 不用手是strangle, choke 用手掐喉咙使其窒息) you with my bare hands. I don't care how many cameras are watching. What the hell were you doing outside my door pretending to be me? What? But... Pretending to...? I guess they're just, you know, just trying to get in. Who's trying to get in? Look, I need you to know, mate, I honestly had no idea this was going to happen. Aliza, she is completely in the dark. I only found out the truth of it 这件事情的真相 myself last night. I haven't slept a bloody wink. You know, I would find it a lot easier to open up to you if you unclenched your fists and stopped looking like you're about to hit me. It's probably why they asked me to get you. People look at me and think I can handle myself, but the truth is I am a bloody coward. 2. I thought there wasn't going to be a paternity test. You said they were going to fake the results. It's the right result, Simmy. What's up? Well, if she was making it all up, why did the Home Office hold back her application? That's exactly what I intend to find out. Right? 3. Go on, then, tell me about your podcast. Don't diss it till you've heard it, Judge Judy. You'd actually be really into it. It's a bit like Serial, only it's called Free Shaun. Or I might go more esoteric (esoteric [ˌesəˈterɪk] 隐晦的, 小众的, 不广为人知的, 仅限于小范围知道和适用的知识 adj I. restricted to or intended for an enlightened or initiated minority, esp because of abstruseness or obscurity an esoteric cult. known about or understood by very few people. a rather esoteric debate about European tax rules.

It is not required that exoteric knowledge come easily or automatically, but it should be referenceable or reproducible. The dictionary defines esoteric as information that is understood by a small group or those specially initiated, or of rare or unusual interest.) like The Bus Stop. What are you talking about? Free Shaun? As in Shaun Emery? 3. Make yourselves at home. The bottom floor's all yours. As long as you stay in your allotted [əˈlɒt] zones, everybody will get along just fine. You see the latest video release of your protegee? You showed me. Last night? Mm. I'm talking about this morning. We got the red flag. Don't you get updates from Chelten Ham? She knows she's being watched. Nothing changes. We continue as planned. It's your rodeo now ( "It's your show / you're in charge now / it's your responsibility to handle this." be someone's first rodeo mainly US to be the first time someone has experienced a situation: It's my first rodeo with all this Black Friday stuff. Last season was his first rodeo, but this one isn't! . not be someone's first rodeo to be a situation that someone has experienced before: This isn't their first rodeo - they've had problems like this before.

Rhys, could you...? I was just asking Aliza why she's been tracking my stats. Good question. What do you expect? I've always been Team Zac. To be fair, that is true. Even when I was fired, you answered my calls. I tried you - it wouldn't go through (打不通, it rings out. don't answer my calls 打不通电话). But then again, maybe it was just a decoy to avoid doing what I actually asked you to do, which was to dig up Victoria Bello's paperwork and check for concerns. I thought that part of the story would just...go away. The front page news? Yeah, in The Guardian. Everyone else has gone with "Lying bitch", essentially. Anyway, none of it seems to be doing you any harm. Aliza, there's going to be an inquiry and none of us are safe(None of us is safe" — strictly correct. None traditionally takes a singular verb (short for "not one"), so is is the grammatically precise choice. "None of us are safe" — also widely accepted. In natural spoken English, none of us feels plural because us is plural, so are sounds more natural to most ears. The "none is always singular" rule is actually a bit of a grammar myth — it dates back to 18th century prescriptivism. Modern usage widely accepts are. So if you're writing something formal, go with is. If you're speaking or writing casually, are is fine and arguably sounds less stiff.). If the Home Secretary himself had a hand in obstructing Bello's application, it's going to come out. So, if you know anything, Aliza, you need to share it. 5. On your way to becoming Home Sec, according to Twitter. I need to speak to you. Gregory Knox came through 做到了, 实现了, 做成了(come through I. If a piece of information or a document comes through, you receive it: Have the test results come through yet? My visa still hasn't come through. II. If an emotion comes through, other people can notice it: His nervousness came through 控制不住紧张 when he spoke.

V. to continue to live after an accident or a difficult or dangerous situation: It was a miracle that he came through that car crash alive. VI. to do something that you have agreed to do or been asked to do: come through with sth He's still hoping the bank will come through with a loan. ). The unmasking. We have a name. Nikolai Mirsky. Russian ex-military. I know. We need to get this to SO15. Except I can't explain how I came by it 怎么得到的, so I suggest it comes from you. Me? At the time of the attack, you were Security Minister. You had clearance to any number of operations. All you need to do is say you can't reveal the source. I don't know. It sounds a bit like faking evidence to me. What? You've taken the footage, manipulated it, now you want to hide where it came from. For use as intelligence, not evidence. Now you sound like a true believer. This is a visual on 目击 a Russian state-sanctioned killer. We need to act. We're the only ones that have it. Look, I know we have other battles. But we can't expose Correction while we're under attack by a foreign power. We need to win this one first. Khadija heard your recording. The Home Secretary discussing Correction. I'm sorry, Detective, but I think I've given you enough of my time. 6. Ma'am. I thought you'd like to know, comms are back up. We're rolling out new units to all ops. What about the camera network? Secure. Vanguard has a new base. Or I could bring the comms to you? That is...if you're back at work? Meet me in an hour. Where do you want me, ma'am? Broadcasting House, three o'clock, sharp. 7. Is he going to maintain his stiff upper lip? I think I see it quivering. 8. You do not understand. I understand perfectly. I will call Zac myself, show the requisite ( 必要的. 需要的. 必须的. [ˈrek.wɪ.zɪt] adj. I. necessary or needed for a particular purpose. needed for a particular purpose or result: requisite qualifications/skills/experience.

I. an important necessary thing: A good book is a requisite for long journeys. a requisite for sth The qualification is generally considered a requisite for entry to the profession.

You'd do well to learn the steps. Learn this! I was with Isaac Turner an hour ago. He wouldn't even admit we had a deal! He doesn't trust us, and that is your fault. Lower your tone 小声点, 小点声. I don't let anyone raise their voice at me off camera. 9. Tom. What have I missed? Lots, by the looks of things. Well, that's what comes of skipping the briefings. We can't hold the class up 一切停顿 just for you, Carey. I've been on compassionate leave, so... be compassionate. 10. Do we, um, do we know the source? I mean, how did he get on our radar? You think they'd tell me? How are you feeling, Rachel? Ma'am. Just getting up to speed. I appreciate you coming back to work so soon, after the experience you've had. I'd rather...keep going. Rest when you're dead. Can I show you something? Frank, I felt DCI Carey should be briefed on the ongoing developments. Welcome to America. Is that...? The hospital. Staff entrance. The night of DS Flynn's murder. I thought whoever did this took over the camera network completely? This section of the briefing is sensitive. Understood. Every state has its own style when it comes to subterfuge. Its own telltale signs. The Russians, for instance, very sloppy. Online and off. They hacked SO15, but it appears they didn't consider our... auxiliary network. You can access the real footage? We can recover it from a covert signal embedded in the time code. It's kind of like scratching the oil paint off a canvas to reveal the pencil drawing underneath. Stop me if I'm...getting too technical. So, de-correction, then? Eventually we'll recover all the footage from the attack. But, for now, our focus, Todd, is this. Nikolai Mirsky. I thought Isaac Turner's witness statement said the killers were wearing face masks. Like I said, sloppy. 11. I appreciate the chance to speak, Home Secretary. I imagine you can guess what this is about. Uh, well, let me see. You told BBC Breakfast I failed to deliver. You told reporters I have your full support. So, at a push( 虽然不容易, 虽然有困难, 虽然困难重重 with difficulty; only just. If you can do something at a push, you can do it but it will be difficult: At a push I could be there by eight o'clock. ), I'd guess you were trying to steal my fucking job? So, I should have said you don't have my support? You'll be saying the department needs a breath of fresh air next. You're fucking me over, Isaac. Have the decency to look me 至少要点脸, 至少有点胆 in the eye while you're doing it. You can hardly blame me for leaving the department acutely aware of its shortcomings. Not to mention our unkept promise of firm but fair immigration. Oh, don't quote the manifesto at me. You weren't even elected when we wrote that. After all I've done for you. Go on. No, what did you do for me, Home Secretary? Take a wild guess. I mean, I thought I was selected for government by the PM? But if you had a hand in making me Security Minister, Home Secretary... I'm not talking about making you a minister. So, what are you talking about? I'm talking about that girl. Victoria Bello? Unless you have others that I don't know about? I told you, that was all lies. You told me that a few days ago. That application hit my desk six months back. Sorry, hit your desk? Why yours? Why don't you ask your private secretary? Aliza? She came to you? Yep. All flummoxed([ˈflʌməkst] perplexed or bewildered. so confused that you do not know what to do: He looked completely flummoxed. Doctors were flummoxed by the boy's symptoms. No wonder Josef was feeling a bit flummoxed.), convinced it was real, convinced that love child was yours, and convinced, as I was, that it would be the bloody ruin of you 你的末日. And then, so you...? The file found its way to the bottom of the pile. Got lost. Drowned in a sea of bureaucracy. You're welcome. So, that's how it's done, is it? And all that because you assumed it was true. Don't be so bloody supercilious(supercilious [ˌsuːpəˈsɪlɪəs] 清高的, 自以为是 ( arrogant, haughty, conceited, disdainful, overbearing, pompous)[disapproval] behaving or looking as though one thinks one is superior to others. If you say that someone is supercilious, you disapprove of them because they behave in a way that shows they think they are better than other people. His manner is supercilious and arrogant. Her eyebrows were arched in supercilious surprise. "a supercilious lady's maid".). Are you really that surprised? No, Home Secretary, I'm not surprised. In fact, it's exactly what I thought. I just needed to hear you say it. 12. Recording the Home Secretary without his consent! That is a breach of national security! I will have you stripped of every clearance level there is, you little prick. It's insurance 保证, Rowan, in case you try to deny it. 13. I'm afraid you've caught me on the hoof (do something on the hoof I. 临时应对的. 临时抱佛脚来的. 不是精心计算的. to do something in response to things that happen, rather than as part of a carefully considered plan. They expressed their disquiet at the disarray over the government's handling of its economic policy and their fears that policy was being made on the hoof. II. 顺便地, 草草地 to do something while you are doing something else, or without stopping to sit down. If you do something on the hoof, you do it while you are moving about or doing something else, often without giving it the attention it deserves: I've got a meeting downtown in 20 minutes so I'll have lunch on the hoof. We know the character: his shirt is always undone, he is rude, consumes junk food on the hoof and is always complaining. ). Train was delayed coming back from my conference, and now I'm running late for a dinner engagement. I always seem to catch you either coming or going. Time and tide ( time and tide wait for no man 岁月不待人, 时不我待 said to emphasize that people cannot stop the passing of time, and therefore should not delay doing things. ). 14. What do you get involved in? I'm sorry, Detective, but where's this going 你到底想说什么? Surely you can see the problem, Mr Knox. You belong to an independent advisory group. You advised the government against doing business with a Chinese firm, whilst in the pocket of ( in the pocket of (someone) disapproving under someone's control or influence. If you say that someone is in someone else's pocket, you disapprove of the fact that the first person is willing to do whatever the second person tells them, for example out of weakness or in return for money. The board of directors must surely have been in Johnstone's pocket. researchers/scientists who are in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies. ) their US rivals. Looks like a conflict of interests to me. I assure you, I'm not in anyone's pocket. Tell me, what is it you do here, exactly? Your website mentions political consultancy, data analysis. Sounds...vague. I'd be glad to educate you, Detective, but as I mentioned... Half the social media companies on the planet seem to have an office in this building. That's a lot of data to analyse. But as I mentioned, I don't have all evening. How did you unmask the suspect exactly? Nikolai Mirsky? Well, you supplied the image. You know which program we used. Show me the process, the working out. That involves my technical team, none of whom are here. It's after hours 下班时间. Deploy armed units to the vicinity. Prepare for tactical response. The murder of Edison Yao and the attempt on your life were designed to send Isaac Turner into police protection, to keep him out of the public eye. That's when this began. What began? The onslaught of disinformation and lies that led us to believe we were under attack from China, that ended with UK facial recognition being handed to America. You have completely lost me. What is it you don't want me to see on that laptop, Mr Knox? You've been glancing at it 偷着瞄 like a schoolboy who forgot to delete his search history. I'm afraid I've kept my dinner companions 同伙, 伙伴(company 指陪伴这件事, companion 指陪伴的人) waiting.... I can produce a warrant to seize every computer in this building within 20 minutes. But at this point, failure to cooperate will force my hand. I employ corporate lawyers, but not criminal ones, so I'd like time to arrange representation. 15. I hope you don't think of me too unfavourably 把我看的太坏, Detective. I'm not a violent person. I've certainly never laid a finger on a woman, as they say. Present company excepted ( present company excepted 在座的除外 used to show that a criticism or a rude remark does not refer to the people you are talking to. If you are making a general, unfavourable comment about a particular type of person, and you are with people of that type, you can say ' present company excepted' as a way of making your comment sound more polite. People here just don't know how to dress, present company excepted. ), of course. Point is, I share the widely held public-facing belief that violence towards women is abhorrent. I say public-facing because online it's a different picture. You poll 100 university students - "Is violence towards women ever justified?" - You'll get 100 emphatic noes. But look at their Twitter feeds - you'll find 10% to 15% have, at some point or another, sent death threats to women. Just one of the countless incidences of data providing a clearer look at human behaviour than humans themselves. 16. "Nothing to see here," says Rowan Gill. But an anonymous Home Office whistle-blower claims Gill had direct involvement in the interference of British passport applications, including that of Victoria Bello's. So, can he cling on and endure another scandal? Or is the Home Secretary losing his grip? 17. Who are they? Well, you know our...consultants. Our c... What, Gregory's lot? Truro? I mean, we did consider several alternatives. As I recall, you were the one who made the final decision. We hired them a year ago. What's the problem with them? Not to be pedantic 抠字眼, but we didn't hire them, did we? They offered their services for free. Which, now I think about it, should've raised some alarm bells. I thought they just crunched data and helped us reach voters? It's more the way they do it. I mean, it's bloody clever. They are the dons of data. You can't blame yourself for wanting to work with them. Truro Analytics? They're the ones who've been trying to destroy me? All this time? They, er, haven't been trying to destroy you, mate. Well, what the fuck have they been doing? You really ought to get dressed. They, er, want to show you something. I'm supposed to take you down, er, stairs. Sorry, that was... Why? What the fսck's downstairs? As I understand it, some sort of conference. 18. The songs they listen to when they're sad, the food they order when they're lonely, triggers that make them happy, angry, depressed or suicidal. Billions upon billions of data points, feeding one extraordinary, ever-refining algorithm that is demonstrably 可展示的, 可以给人看的 the most successful predictor of human behaviour to date. But you know that. What you may not know is how Truro's algorithm is at work on the art of political electioneering(electioneering 选举工程学 Electioneering is the activities that politicians and their supporters carry out in order to persuade people to vote for them or their political party in an election, for example making speeches and visiting voters. the activity of trying to persuade people to vote for a particular political party: The MP's speech was dismissed by her opponents as crude electioneering. This is easy electioneering aimed at a soft target. jaunty showing that you are happy and confident. If you describe someone or something as jaunty, you mean that they are full of confidence and energy. ...a jaunty little man. He walked jauntily into the cafe. The Arsenal striker remains jauntily confident. a jaunty grin/step. When he came back his hat was at a jaunty angle and he was smiling. He scampered jauntily down the stairs. ). Meet Alfonsi Guruli. A political candidate in need of a campaign. Last summer, inspired by a wave of optimism across Georgia's burgeoning democracy, Alfonsi decided to run for Mayor of Tbilisi, the capital city. The candidate had no experience or media training. So far, Alfonsi had sought to promote himself as a family man, a down-to-earth local who understood the hopes and dreams of the electorate. Yet his poll ratings refused to rise. An alternative portrait of Alfonsi emerged. Perhaps the squeaky-clean candidate wasn't clean after all. His opponents attacked. Guruli must face the public and explain himself. Finally, the mayoral hopeful had an audience. A chance to get his message across. Alfonsi's supporters were baffled. But the algorithm had seen what they couldn't. Scores of people appeared on social media, insisting he had always been a strong advocate of gay rights. The Alfonsi Guruli THEY knew was no bigot ( [bɪɡət] 顽固不化的人. a person who is utterly intolerant of any ideas, beliefs, or opinions that differ from their own. The term is heavily associated with stubborn prejudice, and specifically refers to someone who holds unfair hatred, bias, or discrimination toward others based on group identity, such as race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. ). A new narrative began to take shape. Alfonsi was a savvy politician, playing the orthodox right for votes. And the real REAL people of Tbilisi knew that. 19. You made me an advocate of racial profiling. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It's the algorithm. Every action suggested by the algorithm moves you one step closer to where you want to be. Where do you want to be, Isaac? I don't need a program to figure that one out. What ambitious politician doesn't want the top job? I can only imagine the impact you'll make when you finally get there. But, goodness, I'm getting ahead of myself( get ahead of yourself to do something too early, or before you are ready or prepared: That last game suggests that we have been getting ahead of ourselves in praising the team's progress. She didn't want to get ahead of herself and risk losing what she had achieved so far. ). The road to Number 10 is long. Years of work. We need to be patient. Do as the algorithm says, step by step, heart to heart, and we'll get there in the end. You're mad. Look at where it's got you already. A critical stage in your journey is within your grasp 触手可及. Home sec, baby. You actually...you actually believe this shit? You think that data witchcraft can decide who runs the Home Office? It can decide who runs the country. Consider Home Secretary your gruelling audition. fuck this. After everything you've put me through. And my family... I should be ramming your head through that wall. And yet you're not. Your popularity is on the rise, Isaac. While poor Rowan Gill's... Well, there's work to be done. Your trusty ( trusty 可以信任的, 值得信赖的 mainly humorous able to be trusted, especially because of having been owned and used for a long time. Trusty things, animals, or people are reliable and have always worked well in the past. She still drives her trusty black Corvette. I did the entire three hundred miles on my own - just me and my trusty bike.) spad ( SpAd = spad 特别顾问 short for special adviser: a person who works for a politician and whose job is to give that politician advice: SpAds may not formally represent the Government or their Minister. Spads can give political advice and help draft political speeches. ) will fill you in. Sorry, what, you expect me to collude in this fuckery 胡扯八道的东西? I thought you didn't need me anyway? You built your own version of me. Who, Digi-Zac? I've enjoyed working with him, but I'm thrilled you're ready to take over. The hell makes you think I'm going to do that? Why, the algorithm, of course. The algorithm sees the world in all its complexity. The algorithm understands you, me, and every segment of our society better than we understand ourselves. And it predicts, Isaac Turner, that you will comply with this campaign just as soon as it brings you success. For with success comes power. And with power... you can do all the good you've ever dreamt of. Cars are outside when you're ready. Catch some shuteye ( catch/get some shuteye 稍事休息 To get some amount of sleep. Hey, it's late. We should probably try to catch some shuteye so we're not exhausted tomorrow. A: "Where's Sara?" B: "Catching some shuteye. I'm not supposed to wake her up for another half hour." We've got a pretty long layover before our next flight, so I'm going to try to catch some shuteye at the gate. ) on the way back. We need you fresh-faced for the press. 18. Why did you withhold this critical piece of intelligence?Russian state assassin captured on camera. You didn't share it? Why don't you tell me exactly how you got a hold of this image. I'd like to ask you the same thing. I'd like to put a soaking cloth over your face between questions. But...I'm exercising restraint 忍让, 克制自己. I strongly suggest you exercise some yourself. I'm going to say he worked for you until he became a liability, and you had his partner blow his brains out. I mean...I try to do the right thing. I don't know what you're plotting with Gregory Knox, but I do hope it's worth it. And for what? A lot of people seem to be dying in the process. 19. Meanwhile, Isaac Turner is simply trying to get on with his important new schedule - promoting business schemes, opening war memorials. Sports initiatives? Yes. But those pesky reporters won't stop badgering him about Rowan Gill. In the public interest, you agree to an exclusive interview. Look, I...I don't want, you know, to seem like I'm out for revenge. I must say, I found it rather sweet... your little journal. Not quite Edward Snowden. More...Adrian Mole. And then I reminded myself that naivety and treachery are not mutually exclusive 互斥的, 排他的. Who else is involved... in your plot? 20. What a crushing disappointment you are, Rachel. After all the chances you've been given. You kept me in the dark from the moment I joined the department, banishing 放逐 me to Mapping... that causes you to melt at the denial of instant gratification 稍不顺心, 稍不如意( instant gratification pleasure or satisfaction that you get from something immediately, without having to wait or work hard to get it: Some people expect instant gratification. Lots of kids want instant gratification without putting in the required work. delayed gratification pleasure or satisfaction that cannot be experienced immediately, but that you must wait for or work for: Saving money involves delayed gratification. It's important to teach your child about patience and delayed gratification. )? You were serving a penance. You were supposed to be earning our trust. I was impressed with you. You saw this was all Frank Napier's doing. Before me. Before any of us. You even managed to get the man to blurt out his culpability right in front of you, even if it did mean nearly getting your throat slit. You're not bad, Rachel. You've got the capacity 本事 for the work, all right. And you want to squander it all... so you can be some whistle-blower? And then what? Go into hiding, take refuge in Russia for the rest of your life? There were opportunities for you. Still would be. I mean, if I felt for a second I could trust you. Danny Hart's handed in his notice. SO-15 will need a new commander. But if I were to step into Danny Hart's shoes, I'd need someone to step into mine. You expect me to believe, after all this, you'd want me on your team? I should have known you'd fail to understand. Well, forgive me, but I like my work a little less tainted with murder and corruption. Perhaps you're concussed. Gregory Knox is a scourge on human society. He's everything that's wrong with power, politics and technology in the world today. Then why are you protecting him? You told me that I would see Correction used as a force for good. I've seen it used to help people like Napier and Knox. I was as appalled as you to discover Frank was involved in this. But there's a difference between the aims of an operation and the running of it. Whatever it is, it makes you complicit in the murders of five innocent people... I would never sanction 下令 the killing of a British national. ..complicit in the cover-up... The two things are not the same! Explain the difference to a judge. You really want to know? My intervention into this shitstorm prevented British killings - specifically... yours. Again, I wouldn't expect you to understand. Consider this the sort of thing you might learn from me if you could bear to give me your trust, instead of constantly trying to betray me. When the police uncover a conspiracy, they make arrests. A spy... flips it. Keeps it running to their advantage. I confirmed Frank Napier's involvement in this not 36 hours ago... when he came to me in a sharing mood. His gunmen were outside your flat, waiting for his order. You caught one of them on camera, of course you were going to be next on Frank Napier's kill list. Until you stopped him. Until I persuaded him to let me take the reins. How did...? Let's just say I mediated a crisis of moral leadership. So... I'm sorry if you disapprove of my joining the operation. But if I hadn't... The door to this opportunity will not stay open long, Rachel. I suggest you take advantage before it shuts. Give me everything you have on Correction, tell me who you're working with... and we'll find a way to move on. And if I don't? ( She sighs ) Oh, dear, oh, dear. I thought you might ask that. Phillips. I'd brace yourself for this, if I were you. 21. Everything all right? You don't seem on the precipice of a new dawn. You have it? Were you expecting a big suitcase? It's locked. Needs a code. And you shall have it upon completion of your work. Brains 脑浆 on your flooring (地板材料. the material that a floor is made of. Flooring is a material that is used to make the floor of a room. Quarry tiles are a popular kitchen flooring. wooden/marble/vinyl flooring. ) is not complete enough for you? That isn't funny, Frank. I've had nightmares. I thought you were coming to deal with her, not settle your internal affairs in my corridor. They're cleaning it up! I've got journos sniffing around the building, and not the kind I like. Rumours of another armed attack in London. The story needs wrapping up. No loose threads. 22. The question no-one seems inclined to answer. If Victoria Bello was lying, why was her application obstructed by the Home Office? Oh, right. You know, I've actually been looking into that. I managed to collar ( I. 栓着的. 拴着绳的. to put a strap or device around an animal's neck, for example as a way of controlling it, or discovering or recording where it goes: The family dog is collared, leashed and taken for a walk. Researchers began trapping and collaring black bears in order to track their movements. II. 抓住, 抓着, 逼停. 逼问. 抓住脖领子 to find someone and stop them in order to talk to them. If you collar someone who has done something wrong or who is running away, you catch them and hold them so that they cannot escape. As Kerr fled towards the exit, Boycott collared him at the ticket barrier. We decided to skip the meeting but she collared us in the hotel lobby. A reporter collared her on her way to the gym. I was collared by Pete as I was coming out of the meeting this morning. III. to catch or arrest someone such as a criminal: He is known as the detective who collared a serial killer. She was collared by the police at the airport. IV. to get something for yourself: He somehow managed to collar all the credit for other people's work. The Treasury collars billions in tobacco duty every year. V. If you collar someone, you stop them and make them listen to you. Beattie managed to collar Atkins in a hallway. Bernard was once collared by an aggressive stranger in Soho. ) the Home Secretary about it. You can stop, Isaac. Aliza obviously knows you better than I do. It seems the whole of Westminster does. Simmy... Why did they assume it was true? Erm...probably because they judge me by the same pathetically low standards as the rest of them. The Palace of Westminster is basically a midlife crisis support centre. "I was away from home." Go on. You know, "I was away from home. It was an emotional time." I need to shake this lingering doubt, Isaac. You know, I am in the middle of a press conference. Swear on the children none of it's true. 23. You're not concerned about the fallout from Moscow? Moscow will deny it, but they won't disprove 证伪 it. I prefer it that way... no-one knowing what to believe. 24. You're kind of hard to get rid of, aren't you? Like a stubborn turd - just won't flush 冲不掉的一坨屎. Why don't you brief Rachel on the contents of that drive? Is that an order? Yeah. Greg Knox may be a piece of shit, but he crunches data for every big tech company that matters. Know how long we've been trying to make a deal with somebody like that? What kind of deal? I helped him play puppet master to his politician. For that, he gave me the secret weapon - Truro's algorithm. Access to almost 3 billion social media accounts worldwide. So you can track the activity of just about anyone? Not track - predict. The algorithm calculates behaviour right down to how suggestible a guy is to changing his toothpaste or who he's going to vote for. You can also predict how prone he is to dissent. Anyone from Bangkok to Mexico City to Portland, Oregon even thinks about subversion, we'll know about it. 25. Why won't Knox give you the code? He's not happy with the work... carnage... the trail of bodies. He's concerned it might all lead back to him, right? Right. He'll give me the code - when everybody is looking the other way. 26. How's the all-seeing 有天眼的, 无所不知, 无所不见的 AI, Gregory? The great and powerful programme. Is there a problem? Erm...a slight problem, yes. It seems I've hit a slight bump in the road that your algorithm failed to predict. Simone says she's going to fucking leave me. You don't seem too alarmed 没有当回事. I can't imagine your algorithm's going to love my chances of success if I end up getting divorced. You can never second guess that thing. So what? We might not have a problem if someone does, in fact, leave me? Not necessarily. You knew. You knew dragging Victoria Bello out the woodwork would destroy my marriage. Isaac, you told us when we first met you wanted to get to the top. Not if it meant losing my family. You didn't stipulate 规定, 明说 that. Are you insane? I'm sorry, Isaac, but the program just doesn't see you with Simone. A significant percentage of the electorate perceives your marriage as somewhat strategic and they don't like it. 27. Ah, gentlemen. Guess which swinging dіck of broadcasting I've just got off the phone to - Anthony Reed OBE (Order of the British Empire: a British honour given to a person by the King or Queen for a particular achievement: She received the OBE for her work in hospitals and camps during the war. The award was presented by Paula Radcliffe OBE. ). He's offering an exclusive interview - Thursday night, 8pm, BBC One. Shall we pencil it ( "Pencil it in先这么计划着" is the full phrase — meaning to tentatively schedule something, with the understanding it might change. The idea comes from writing in pencil (instead of pen) so it can be erased and changed later. "Shall we pencil it in?" means: "Should we put it in the schedule for now, but keep it flexible?" Example: "I'm not 100% sure I'm free Friday — shall we pencil it in and confirm later?" The opposite feeling is "set in stone" — meaning fixed and unchangeable. Pencilled in 先这么定着, 暂时这么定 → tentative, flexible. Set in stone 定死了 → confirmed, final. Note: saying just "shall we pencil it?" without the in is a slightly clipped informal version — native speakers do say it but "pencil it in" is the complete standard phrase.)? 28. If you're hoping to flip 策反 Khadija, ma'am, I'm the wrong person to take with you. We didn't end on good terms. I know. I deployed someone to keep track of your movements while Vanguard was down. I imagine this is going to be pretty awkward for you, huh? I find myself with a problem. 29. Some highly classified intelligence has recently been disclosed to you. I trust DCI Carey's presence leaves you in no doubt as to what intelligence I am referring. As DCI Carey will confirm, this serious breach coincided with a period of personal difficulty for the detective, which she now recognises impacted negatively on her mental health and wellbeing, in particular her behaviour in the workplace. Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn. No. I can confirm all of that. It explains the public outburst 当众大爆发. Last person who yelled at me like that's now editing the One Show. So, I realise I need something solid on the table if I'm to earn your cooperation. The service has long enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with one trusted individual inside this organisation. The incumbent isn't getting any younger. Anthony Reed? He's a fucking spook ( spook I. ghost. II. a spy.)? In some ways, you're better informed than him already, and I'll wager we can agree on one operational goal in the immediate term. Sorry, are you tapping me up? There's no official contract, no financial agreement. Your reward will be doing your bit for national security and in the bountiful source of information that will become available to you from the all-seeing eye of British intelligence - directly and exclusively... to you. What operational goal? Today brings to an end a highly sophisticated campaign of targeted gun violence that has gripped counter-terrorism command for six long days. A devastating campaign that has claimed the lives of five innocent victims - three of which were serving police officers. The manhunt was concluded in a standoff during which a 39-year-old white male was fatally wounded by firearms officers. The identity of the individual has been confirmed as Nikolai Mirsky, a Russian national and the prime suspect in our investigation. Our assessment of the motive for these attacks continues, but the evidence overwhelmingly indicates the involvement of agents of a foreign state. 30. You're coming down the Crown, Carey. You're not putting your hand in your pocket all night. ( She sighs ) I don't think so. You're the hero of Vanguard. We're not going without you. Perhaps you ought to... hero. 31. I was seriously thinking about checking the news to see if you'd been found in a ditch somewhere. Sorry. shit sister. Was that all right the other day? The laptop? Did I do it right 我做对了吗? Yeah, Abi. You did it just right. I've got to go. 32. "Apologies for the hold up 让你等着, nanoseconds away, Anthony." We're ready to line up when you are, Mr Turner. Here's your water, Mr Turner. Thank you. Just going to mic you up. Can I just check the level on that mic? What did you have for breakfast? Er, eggs, toast. Coffee? 33. Zac, catch me. I'm parachuting in 空降来了. You're...You're not Anthony Reed. Well, thanks. You're not the Prime Minister, but we play the hands we're dealt(play the hand (one) is dealt 因陋就简, 将就将就 To accept, deal with, and make the most of one's current situation or circumstances; to make use of that which one is afforded or has available. I know you feel unsatisfied with your life at the moment, but we all have to play the hand we're dealt. Just keep working hard and things are bound to improve! I never asked to be responsible for the business, but I'm going to play the hand I was dealt.). Anthony sends his apologies. Family matter. I have my theories. Bollocks. I'm pulling it. What? Why? Let's go. I should really call the office. You don't need to call the office, I'm pulling it. The interview's been trailed ( "Trail (US: preview 预告, 播过预告片)" in this context means to advertise or preview something in advance — usually a TV show, interview, film, or broadcast. So "The interview's been trailed" means: "The interview has been previewed/advertised ahead of its broadcast." It comes from the idea of a trailer — a short preview clip shown before the main content airs. The verb trail → to promote something by showing clips or highlights in advance. The noun trailer → the preview clip itself. Example: "The BBC has trailed the interview heavily — they've been showing clips all week." This is primarily British English usage. Americans would more commonly say: "The interview has been previewed". "They've been promoting the interview". "They've released a trailer for the interview". So in short — if an interview has been trailed, expect it to be a big deal. Networks usually only trail content they think will generate significant public interest. trail noun. I. a path through a countryside, mountain, or forest area, often made or used for a particular purpose: a forest/mountain trail. a walking/snowshoeing/cross-country skiing trail.

Well, we've seen how nimble 手脚轻便, 轻灵 these guys can be when it comes to dancing around tax laws. Clearly, Khadija, if a plot to affect British democracy was directed by a member of a foreign state, that's a serious international incident. If a British national is found to have colluded in such an attempt, that's treason. 35. We knew it was going to be inconclusive until we received the results of the biopsy. So, from riddled to all clear? I agree it's unusual. Erm, CT imaging throws up anomalies from time to time, but rarely this inconsistent. You'll have to come in for a biopsy. Wait a second. These images you've been showing me - black tar covering all my internal organs - did you receive those electronically? It's all electronic. By email? Uploaded to the hospital servers. I get it from there. 36. If I'm not mistaken, DCI Carey, you appear to be enjoying this. Gregory Knox's plan has been sabotaged. An attack on British democracy has been averted. Thanks to your work in particular, DS Flynn's family feel a strong sense of justice for Patrick. Are you starting to see the potential for good in this strange little programme we call Correction? 37. All that talk about redemption, about Sunday School. You wanted my fucking op, didn't you? Well, something had to be done after the shit shower you made of it!
