Glasgow

Glasgow is the fourth episode of the first season of QIA.
== Summary ==
Following intelligence gleaned from the Manchester 1984 Mission, the team embark on a two-pronged mission to Glasgow, taking place simultaneously in 2017 and 2019. Sarah finds herself troubled by the QIA's stance on non-interference when she learns that a boy was murdered in the original history, and that she will have to allow it to happen again.

“We cannot do anything to disrupt the original timeline.” - Director Brent Hall
The QIA’s mandate is clear: prevent quantum incursions and protect the timeline. But for new recruit Sarah Cunnington, that isn’t always as straightforward as she’d like. While following up on intelligence that could lead them to Jacob Dorody, Sarah finds herself faced with the fact that, in order to do her job, she will have to stand by and watch a young boy get murdered in front of his father…
== Synopsis ==
Sarah is tasked with interrogating captured Reclaimer Owen Farley, which leads to a new investigation: a Reclaimer go-between in Glasgow named Donald MacKenzie, whose son Daniel was murdered in 2017.
The team splits across two simultaneous missions; Sarah and Tom Jump to 2017 while Ethan and Hafiz drive there in the present-day. The latter's task is to persuade MacKenzie to defect to the QIA, while Sarah and Tom must keep an eye out in case the Reclaimers attempt to deliver on their promise to MacKenzie and save his son, thereby creating a quantum incursion.
Unhappy about standing by while Daniel is killed by petty thief Adam Conley, Sarah breaks protocol and Home Jumps with Daniel, using an amp. In spite of this, Hall seizes the opportunity to use Daniel as leverage against Donald, who has been refusing to co-operate. Unfortunately, while driving back to London, the car containing Hafiz, Ethan and Donald MacKenzie is ambushed on the road, and MacKenzie is shot and killed, leaving a cryptic message as his dying words.
