Ep 3. Episode 3

Following a shocking assassination attempt, Home Secretary Julia Montague's (Keeley Hawes) threat level is raised to severe. The personal protection officer assigned to her, Sergeant David Budd (Richard Madden), continues to battle his inner demons and navigate his personal life while trying to prevent any future attacks. As the investigation progresses, Budd begins to uncover a conspiracy that leads him down a dangerous path and into the crosshairs of those he's sworn to protect.

In episode 3, tensions run high as Home Secretary Julia Montague prepares to give a major speech on counter-terrorism measures. Budd is tasked with ensuring her safety during the event, but his own fear and mistrust of those around him threaten to distract him from the task at hand. Meanwhile, a recent promotion puts the detective assigned to investigate the assassination attempt in a difficult position.

As the episode unfolds, Budd finds himself increasingly at odds with Montague's political agenda, and begins to question her motives. He also begins to question his own loyalties, both to his employer and to his own principles. Meanwhile, his personal life becomes more complicated as a love interest from his past resurfaces, adding yet another layer of stress to an already tense situation.

Amid all this turmoil, the threat to Montague's safety remains ever-present. Budd's instincts are put to the test as he tries to navigate the complex web of political and personal motivations that surround the Home Secretary. Will he be able to protect her from harm, or will his own demons and suspicions get in the way?
