Episode notes

In this episode Caroline and Jack have Daniel Khalife's evidence about why he escaped from Wandsworth Prison - he said it was so he would be classified as a high-risk prisoner and better protected from some of the most serious offenders. 

During his evidence to the jury at Woolwich Crown Court he said he used kitchen trousers which he clipped to the underside of a food delivery lorry to create an escape sling. He was then on the run for three days.

He also said he tried on several occasions to tell MI5 and MI6 that he was acting as a double agent by sending worthless information to Iran - but he was then arrested.
