Interesting British movies

The interesting British accent made me carefully consider most of the lines. I didn't understand some parts after reading it, and then I looked again and found that some details were not quite clear. . .

The core plot is: Benedict, director of MI5, showed a secret document to his two subordinates, Johnny and Jill. The document was about black sites in the United States (Black Sites, which were exposed by the media in 2005 and caused a sensation) and illegally tortured prisoners. At a meeting where these people discussed with the Secretary of the Interior on how to act on the information, Johnny pointed out that the informant who provided the document on Page Eight of the document stated that the British government already knew the information, but the minister said Without knowing it, Johnny inferred that the Prime Minister had known the situation a long time ago, but he did not tell others (including the Secretary of the Interior), and then an important question was raised: The Prime Minister had the ability not to obtain US intelligence through MI5, and could have prevented it. The terrorist bomb attack that took place in the country on July 7 sacrificed the lives of the people of the country innocently in order to preserve the source of intelligence. The prime minister’s intelligence source was the intelligence agency he secretly formed, and the person in charge was Jill, who had betrayed MI5. Benedict died of a heart attack. Johnny wanted to fulfill his last wish to make the documents public. However, when the Prime Minister and the rest of the people obstructed him, Johnny finally compromised with them: to disclose the truth about the death of the heroine's brother, the government should pay attention to it.

I don’t quite understand. Why did Rollo leave MI5? Wouldn’t it be an excuse to leak secrets to the newspaper for money?
It was hilarious to see Johnny walking around with the money in the plastic bag behind him. As expected, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
