State of Play is a 2003 British mini-series/mystery/thriller set in London, where a British politician's life becomes increasingly complex when his research assistant commits suicide in the London Underground and, in a seemingly unrelated incident, a teenage pickpocket is shot dead. A British newspaper looks into the apparently unrelated events and a deeper conspiracy is revealed. The miniseries' cast included John Simm, David Morrissey, Bill Nighy, and James McAvoy. The miniseries was directed by David Yates, who directed the last three Harry Potter installments, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Legend of Tarzan. A US feature film adaptation starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck was released in 2009.

Heckler & Koch MP5 SMG
