00:01Well, you wanted Fort Knox, you got it.
00:04What have you done to my front door?
00:06Ah, well, now, you see, uh, reinforced steel.
00:10Works with a swipe card. State of the art.
00:13We'll not find this in Bannham any time soon.
00:15No key code, it's all in the strip.
00:17We'll keep a spare set in the lockers in case you lock yourself out.
00:19This, this is the business.
00:21Universal swipe, central locking all doors and windows.
00:25Security glass.
00:27Think BMW in Joburg.
00:29Come inside a sec.
00:34Right, check it out.
00:36Windows, French doors, even the roof access.
00:39All fail-safe. All through this key.
00:42I hope this works with her, Tom.
00:44She's a great person.
00:46I know. How reliable is the strip?
00:48Ah, right.
00:51Sorry, mate.
00:53Watch this.
00:56Won't give you anything but the best.
00:58Hold your nose back.
01:00Oh, good girl.
01:02Should help.
01:14I didn't mean to let you in, you know my hands.
01:17Look, take this.
01:20Your front door key.
01:22Your front door key.
01:24What the hell's the matter with you?
01:26Look, I know how you feel about living with me, about being safe and everything,
01:29so that's why I've changed things.
01:31Come back, please.
01:34You can't stay here.
01:36Go have a look.
01:38Please.
01:43How does it work?
01:45Well, it's just like a key on the outside.
01:47Swipe it through this slot, light goes green, you're in.
01:50Coming out is the same. Swipe it like a credit card.
01:53Okay? Go and see, please.
01:58I'd rather you showed me.
02:00I will, I will.
02:02But?
02:04But I have a very important project on right now.
02:08What is it?
02:10Are you going to do some spying?
02:17Be careful.
02:19Okay.
02:28Right.
02:50Go ahead.
02:52Hello, this is Jodie from the Sovereign Guest House in E.
02:56I need an urgent credit card check on a Mr. Patrick McCann.
03:00One moment.
03:05Encrypting Red Channel.
03:07This is really quite urgent.
03:09McCann, Patrick. Section commander in Splinter Republican Group.
03:12Active service unit leader for many years.
03:14Personally responsible for the torture and murder of over 20 people.
03:17Personally responsible for the torture and murder of over 20 RUC policemen
03:20and two security service operatives in the late 70s.
03:23Why?
03:25He's ringing the doorbell.
03:28You went over Tom's head on this.
03:30Tom wasn't here.
03:32Tom handles McCann, you know that.
03:34I had to act at once.
03:36You let a known terrorist into a safe house.
03:38He said as a beer, Harry, as a beer.
03:40This isn't about Ireland.
03:42The consequences of this could be horrendous.
03:44Everything will have to be sterilised.
03:46Closed down. Housekeepers retired.
03:48This could push the budget to the brink of the abyss.
03:51You've called the cavalry, I take it?
03:53Anti-terrorist unit and special branch will be there in six minutes.
03:56What, are they getting a tram?
03:57Six minutes across London is fast.
03:59He'll be gone before then and all we'll be left with is the smell of sulphur.
04:02I take it this is live?
04:04Yes, sir.
04:05Did you want a cup of tea?
04:07I want to exchange information and I want a favour in return.
04:10What's that?
04:14A grenade.
04:15I want a face-to-face meeting with a high-ranking officer
04:17who knows enough about Azabea to know that what I've got isn't a bunch of paddywhack.
04:21If you want some special terms, I'll have to talk to the landlord.
04:24You will.
04:25And you can tell him that I know what Azabea's been planning in the Sudan.
04:29Whatever it is, I don't think he'd believe you.
04:31Well, he'd bet.
04:32Because what I'm planning affects him and his employer in a very big way.
04:37This is a SIM card.
04:39Stick it in the mobile phone.
04:41Call the number in the address book between 11.51 and midnight tonight.
04:44Nine minutes only.
04:46You said you wanted a favour in return.
04:48Brave woman.
04:51Do you want to say what it is?
04:53That's for the landlord.
04:56Let me out of here. Now.
04:59How the hell did he know about the safe house?
05:01Never underestimate Patrick McCann.
05:05This is information from a highly suspect source.
05:09Not all of you have been neat to know about Azabea for a good reason. Tom.
05:13Azabea is an ultra-extremist soul hiding out in Sudan.
05:17It's a fragment from the Al-Qaeda fallout.
05:19The group's been yellow-tagged. Tagging's been effective.
05:22MPs, Foreign Office, most of Downing Street and the press do not know, repeat,
05:25do not know the group's existence.
05:27No knowledge, no leaks.
05:29Azabea are some of Bin Laden's most loyal followers.
05:31They're specialists, believed to be behind both US embassy bombings in 2000.
05:35So far, they've been impenetrable.
05:37They work in couples, family units.
05:39How do you come between brothers that write nothing down?
05:43A CIA proxy agent got in the air but was blown.
05:45What was left of his genitals was posted to the American embassy in Paris.
05:48Ouch.
05:49But, as far as we know, Azabea has shown no interest in planning any action in the UK.
05:53Yet. Mostly India, Indonesia.
05:55All chip in. The clock's against us.
05:57I think this offer's real. McCann wants to trade.
06:00But trade what?
06:01Gotta be big to do a walk-in like that.
06:02Even with a grenade in your hand?
06:04In the danger of an Azabea attack on the UK, we have to act, and act now.
06:08He knew he was risking his life walking into that safe house.
06:10That has to mean he's got something.
06:11And the fact that he knows Azabea even exists.
06:13So what do we do?
06:14We do exactly what he's asked us to do. We try and deal with him.
06:21Come on, come on. Group dynamics.
06:23Too dangerous.
06:24Oh, is it?
06:25Why?
06:26He's way ahead. Calling the shots.
06:27It's our job to catch up.
06:28I agree with Tessa.
06:29Well, I agree with Zoe.
06:30So we do nothing?
06:31We do something.
06:32We set up the meeting with McCann, and we kill him.
06:34This isn't Guatemala.
06:36Let me rephrase for faint hearts.
06:38We bring about a curtailment of his continuing existence through proxy.
06:42What are you suggesting we do?
06:44Hand McCann over to the provisional IRA?
06:46You know what they do with people who split from them.
06:48Yeah. So let his old comrades beat the shit out of him and get the truth about this Azabea thing.
06:51We win both ways.
06:52So, we liaise with the provos, whilst they torture a suspect.
06:56We've got a Belfast officer liaising with them right now.
06:58Oh, this is grotesque.
06:59No, grotesque is taking McCann at his word.
07:01Zoe, you are out of your depth.
07:02Harry, he asked for an officer who knows the Azabea material.
07:04If it concerns them, it's going to be on the critical list, whatever the hell it is.
07:07This is not the truth. It's their truth.
07:09We have no way of verifying anything objectively.
07:11Precisely why I need to meet the man.
07:13No, not you.
07:14Yes, me. I know enough about Azabea to confirm his intentions.
07:16No one else can.
07:17I want a collective decision. We have to be at one on this.
07:20I say we burn him.
07:22McCann's an old dog. You won't get near him.
07:24I'm an old dog, too. Danny.
07:25Meet him. See what info he's offering.
07:28Even if the info is contaminated?
07:30Tessa?
07:31Danny's right. We can't afford not to.
07:33Zoe?
07:34Meet.
07:36So be it.
07:37Tom, if you get to McCann, no deals.
07:41Nothing. This is strictly information gathering.
07:46I just hope you know what kind of a bastard we're dealing with.
08:00Go north on the A11 in a white Ford Mondeo till the trip meter reads 68.5.
08:04You'll see a works unit road. Follow it to the end.
08:07Cross the field and I'll meet you there.
08:09Dress for the country, Davy Crockett.
08:10Tessa gave you money.
08:11Yeah, but I didn't know what it was for.
08:12It was to shut you up. What do you think it was for?
08:14I still don't know.
08:15I can't get my head around it. Maybe it's part of something bigger.
08:18An op.
08:19A big op.
08:21Maybe it's a test. Maybe she's testing me.
08:23It's a scam.
08:25A senior officer sitting in this room running first agent and trousering the cash.
08:29You have got to pass it through, Harry.
08:30Yeah, I know, I know.
08:31So do it. Now.
08:33Well, I can't, can I? I've left it too long.
08:35Here we go.
08:36Meet his rural tomorrow afternoon.
08:38Isolated, bare, complicated.
08:40Don't leave open ground, so no ambushes, no backup.
08:43We'll send a messenger. Wire them.
08:44You could be puppet master. Hang back with the cans on, listening.
08:47Prompt him when the subject moves on to Assevere.
08:49First thing he's going to do is check for wires.
08:51You sort out the transport tomorrow. I need a white Mondeo.
08:59Oh, my God.
09:29Oh, my God.
10:00Oh, he crocked it, Stoker.
10:02Prey on Char and Alpha.
10:04Keep it English.
10:05Though he's drawing more attention to herself.
10:07Are you joking?
10:08Anyone seeing this will think we're in some flicky, farmerous porn video.
10:12You pick the spot, not me. Let's walk.
10:14Let's not.
10:17There's this one.
10:19I've got to go.
10:20I've got to go.
10:21I've got to go.
10:22I've got to go.
10:23I've got to go.
10:24I've got to go.
10:25I've got to go.
10:26I've got to go.
10:27I've got to go.
10:28I guess this wasn't easy for you, Mr Crockett.
10:31Had to pull a few strings, I bet.
10:33I know I certainly did.
10:35Something like that.
10:36The secrecy's for my benefit as well, you know.
10:39Those people would fry me balls and batter if they knew what I was doing.
10:42Suddenly grown a conscience, have we?
10:44Well, I'll let you know what it feels like when I've worn it in.
10:46Rich.
10:47It's the same for us, you know.
10:49I don't like breathing the same air as you, either.
10:53You follow?
10:55Assevere.
10:56We've had a minor corporate cash flow problem.
10:59Thanks to certain recent events.
11:02So we've been freelancing.
11:04Bit of management consultancy.
11:07A few hard lads down in Columbia.
11:09The odd nursery in Somalia.
11:12And then we get a call from a couple of hard nuts in the Sudan.
11:15Needed a swift how-to on some anti-tank weaponry they'd just acquired.
11:19All state-of-the-art, the dog's bollocks.
11:21So we sent a couple of our lads over, but we weren't taking any chances.
11:24So we had them checked out.
11:27Those boys'd kill you as quick as luck, would you?
11:29Nothing new to speak of.
11:31Till last week.
11:33Another check.
11:35And suddenly there's this very detailed aerial schematic of a large-scale Brit facility.
11:43A power station.
11:45A nuclear power station.
11:47Sefton B.
11:48Sefton B.
11:51They do what I think they're going to do in most of Ireland's uninhabitable for the next 200 years.
11:55Not to mention everything north of Bristol.
11:57Not that we'd miss Wales.
11:59Oh, don't look at me like that.
12:01This is a holy war. These boys are serious.
12:04And when a man with my experience tells you that, you should listen.
12:07They scare the shite out of me.
12:10You could disincentivise them.
12:12Kill them, you mean?
12:14Great minds think alike, Davy.
12:17Sadly, my branch chief had other ideas.
12:19Wanted his money up front.
12:21But by the time he realised he was in Egypt, they were already on their way.
12:24And so I had to come crying to youse.
12:27For help.
12:28You do what I ask, and you'll get it all.
12:31Names, roots, dates. Everything we've got.
12:33We've got access.
12:35We've got trust.
12:36Jesus, Mr Crockett.
12:38I'm your man in the Sudan.
12:40When did they leave?
12:42They're already here.
12:45How much money do you want?
12:46Money's not our only concern.
12:49What do you want?
12:51Today's Tuesday.
12:52I want a blind eye kept till sunrise Thursday.
12:56We're doing a bit of business here, and we'd rather you kept your noses out of it.
13:00No police, no special branch, no uniforms.
13:03But only 30 hours, special offer.
13:05Look, this is just a technical matter, but how can we trust you?
13:09You expect us to turn our backs when you commit a terrorist outrage?
13:12Trusting your enemy is a fine art, Mr Crockett.
13:15We're not planning a terrorist outrage.
13:18All right.
13:19You're forgetting it's our country on the line here, too.
13:24New SIM card.
13:25Call the number in the address book between 1651 and 1700 tonight.
13:29Nine minutes only.
13:30Then I dump the phone.
13:31Why the rush?
13:32Why do you think?
13:33You mean it's soon?
13:34I mean you better get back in your car.
13:37We have a deal?
13:38Dave.
13:41You're not fair, really.
13:43You know my name, and I know yours, Ed Davey bloody Crockett.
13:45Call me Dave.
13:53How many times do I have to tell you this is contaminated truth?
13:56It's a hoax.
13:57And if we turn a blind eye to the activities of McCann's group for the next 30 hours,
14:01do you know what we will be doing?
14:02We will be trading a certain attack by a splinter Republican cell for some fantasy about Sefton Bay.
14:07I disagree.
14:08Why?
14:09The stakes are too high.
14:10A known, distant IRA commander coming on his own to a safe house.
14:13Follows up with a meeting, keeping to his word about backup, keeping to his word about time and place.
14:17Tom, we both know that the word of the IRA, whatever faction, is as permanent as a fart in a wind machine.
14:22We have no choice.
14:23Tessa is right.
14:25We have to deal, and we have just under four hours to agree.
14:27We have a potential moral horror here, and I do not like moral horrors.
14:31I prefer facts.
14:32Danny, Zoe, how vulnerable is Sefton Bay?
14:34Just what kind of anti-tank weapon could Asabiya have gotten hold of?
14:37Right.
14:38Meanwhile, we do have one ace in the hole.
14:40I've been less than honest with you, Tom.
14:42When you met McCann, you did have backup.
14:44It worked rather well, you must admit.
14:46They followed you and then followed him, all the way to his hideaway.
14:51Thanks to you, we now have a major dissident IRA commander under surveillance.
14:55He's over here on his evil business.
14:57He must be stopped.
14:58That's exactly what's going to happen.
15:00There will be no deals with Patrick McCann.
15:05Zoe, call.
15:08Where are you?
15:09I'm almost there.
15:10Listen, I need you to get me an urgent appointment with the DG,
15:13but cover for me for an hour, all right?
15:15Now, you and Danny do exactly as Harry told you.
15:17Find out about that weapon.
15:19When's Tom due back?
15:20Uh, not for an hour, sir.
15:35Mate, I've been to Sefton B.
15:37That place is well hard.
15:38Four working reactors, two reprocessing plants,
15:40Britain's main plutonium stockpile.
15:42They've not just got a sign outside saying,
15:44Beware of the sheep, you know.
15:45I mean, it's protected.
15:46Here, it's not the main site I'm worried about.
15:48Area D421.
15:50It houses about 20 tanks containing liquid high-level radioactive waste.
15:54A breach in one of those tanks would release a cloud
15:5645 times as deadly as Chernobyl.
15:58No wonder the Irish have been up in arms.
16:00Yeah, I know what you mean.
16:01They've got concrete coming out of their arses three metres thick.
16:03I mean, you can't do anything except from the air,
16:05and the RAF has that covered these days.
16:07Well, normally half these tanks are empty,
16:08but there's been a glut of increased capacity this year,
16:10and now the standby tanks are almost all full.
16:12Two of the intermediate-level tanks have the thinnest concrete containment of the loft.
16:15It's about a metre or so.
16:16So not surprisingly, they've been refurbished.
16:18In particular, their roof.
16:20To hit the roof,
16:22you'd need something that could fly up and then strike straight down.
16:25Most mobile anti-tank units fire direct.
16:27They do not have a top attack mode.
16:29So some do, then.
16:33I'll get the MOD on the block.
16:45Mr Quinn,
16:46the DG has asked me to say that it's best he doesn't see you.
16:49This is a matter of national security.
16:50Please let me finish.
16:53Best he doesn't actually see you.
16:56Best he doesn't actually see you.
16:59However, at the moment, there is a window.
17:01Are you following me?
17:08I'll just take your blood pressure.
17:10There'll be a little discomfort.
17:11Yes, Doctor.
17:13Well, get on with it. I haven't got all day.
17:20So, you're here to complain about your superior in the service.
17:25Yes, I never thought I'd have to talk about Harry in this way.
17:27Why not? If he's going to do Lally, then he needs must.
17:30Please, sir, this is difficult for me.
17:32Please don't get moked. You're here to gripe, so spit.
17:35No, I'm not here to gripe.
17:36It's never my policy to listen to gripes.
17:38That's why this meeting is not taking place.
17:40Open wide and say ah.
17:42Ah.
17:43But you believe the Irishman?
17:46Yes.
17:47Why?
17:48Three reasons.
17:49The personal risk he's taken by him talking to us,
17:52the credibility of his story and the seriousness of what is at stake.
17:55So if we give them 30 hours clear of surveillance,
17:58what do you think they'll do during that time?
18:00I think they'll keep to their word.
18:02No, that is what you want to happen, but as the old KGB used to say,
18:05hope for the best, expect the worst.
18:07Hence I ask, what is your worst fear in this scenario?
18:11They launch an attack on the mainland.
18:13In which case we prevent a greater outrage, a possibility,
18:16by allowing a lesser, a certainty.
18:19Yes.
18:20Yes.
18:21A moral twister.
18:22A terrible thing to decide.
18:24The art of dealing with your enemy is a fine thing.
18:27Do you enjoy such decisions?
18:32No.
18:33Wrong answer.
18:34If you don't, you've no business in the service.
18:36I'm going to overrule Harry on this occasion.
18:38Go ahead.
18:39Call Rosie when it's done and I'll deal with Harry for you.
18:43Thank you, sir.
18:44And now it's finger up my prostate time,
18:46so I would be grateful if you could leave.
18:48Sir.
18:51Work phone.
18:52We've put McCann's SIM card in here.
18:54All teed up.
18:55OK, how long do we have?
18:57Four minutes to cut off.
18:58OK.
18:59Stay close.
19:00Recording.
19:02Davy Crockett, I presume.
19:04King of the Wild Frontier.
19:05Cutting it fine, aren't you?
19:07I'm going to give you a number.
19:08Mobile number.
19:09This is my number.
19:1007700900002.
19:14Confirm that.
19:1507700900002.
19:19No contact with Sunray Sources.
19:22When will you give us the information on Sefton B?
19:24He'll say.
19:25He says.
19:26I believe him.
19:35Hello?
19:36It's done.
19:38Thank you.
19:41Brace for impact.
19:50Come on.
20:02Come quick.
20:07You went over my head to the DG.
20:10I took a decision.
20:11The wrong one.
20:12GCHQ have just picked up a pay-as-you-go mobile keyword.
20:16Irish Splinter Group plans to hit Broad Street Railway Station tomorrow morning.
20:20Rush hour.
20:21A bomb.
20:22MOD flash.
20:23Five pounds of Semtex gone walkies from an armed shipment in Newcastle.
20:26MO's got Patrick McCann's group written all over it.
20:28And this is the man in whom you've put your trust.
20:31You went over my head.
20:32Now I'm going over yours.
20:33No more deals.
20:34We are going to stop that bomb.
20:37Smooth bureaucracy away from now on.
20:39Total communication.
20:41We group hug this one or we all fall down.
20:44I told you, Davy, no contact.
20:46There hasn't been.
20:47So why'd you put a tail on me, eh?
20:48Took me a bloody hour to shake them.
20:51I didn't want it.
20:53Sadly, my branch chief had other ideas.
20:55Problems upstairs, Davy?
20:57You said no acts of terror.
20:59You're planning to hit Broad Street Station.
21:03Keep to the agreement.
21:05You said no acts of terror.
21:06We're at war with Britain.
21:08There's no such thing as terrorism in wartime.
21:10We're striking back, Mr Crocker.
21:11Right at your throat.
21:12We've had enough of war.
21:13We're back in business in a big way.
21:15No warning.
21:16The rules have changed, Davy.
21:18The clubs are off.
21:19Try and stop our operation.
21:21The deal is dead.
21:22And damn the consequences for all of us.
21:26I know you think your boss is a little emotional over Irish matters.
21:31Well, I am.
21:33And for the good of this team, I'd like to explain why.
21:36I was in Ireland in 1978.
21:38My best friend was a man named Bill Crombie.
21:40One day we found ourselves in a rebel pub looking for an IRA brigade commander.
21:45Terrible mistake.
21:47I left.
21:48He stayed.
21:50Bravado.
21:51They shoved him in the boot of a car.
21:52I could do nothing.
21:53I had no field telephone, no weapon.
21:56They dumped his body two weeks later.
21:58Very hard to identify a body, most of which has been burnt away with a blowtorch.
22:03The brigade commander's name was Patrick McCann.
22:07This has informed my judgment on this matter, I trust you'll all understand.
22:12Yes.
22:13Yes, Harry.
22:15Absolutely, Harry.
22:27Yes.
22:28Thank you.
22:30Their side we know.
22:32They will blow up one of the busiest stations in London, unless we stop them.
22:35We can't.
22:36They haven't given us enough detail about the Sefton B attack.
22:38If we stop them, they withdraw everything.
22:40First, principles.
22:41If we do not stop the bomb, it will explode.
22:43Yeah, but we've been in this situation before.
22:45A valued source tips us off about a bomb.
22:47Stopping that bomb compromises the source.
22:50Letting it explode could help stop at least 20 others.
22:53It's a balanced sheet of risk.
22:55Lesser evil stops greater evil every single time.
22:57You think this?
22:58Yes.
22:59Even when the greater evil exists only as a fiction?
23:01It's a chance we have to take.
23:02Not on my watch.
23:03We move.
23:04This bomb does not go off.
23:06Maybe he's right.
23:07Or he's flipped.
23:08You do not talk about Harry Pierce like that.
23:10I'm sorry, Tom, but what he went through in Belfast, it could warp your judgement.
23:12Drop it, Zoe.
23:14Look, if Sefton B's going to happen, we have to stop it.
23:16Even if there's a remotest chance, we've got to.
23:18We're going to.
23:21Zoe, every hour, you're going to rewrite Special Ops
23:23on how we are supposedly stopping McCann and his bomb.
23:25For Harry's eyes.
23:28What fiction for Harry?
23:29Harry must think we're stopping the Broad Street bomb for real.
23:31Look at old ops cables for strategy.
23:33If you like, just make it watertight.
23:34Harry is not an easy man to lie to.
23:36No, I can imagine.
23:37Danny, the weapon SAB are going to use.
23:38We need to know what it is.
23:39Make, model, serial number.
23:41I've been screaming at the MID,
23:42but you know what snobby bastards they are over there.
23:44Then scream louder.
23:45Pull files on their wires.
23:46But get the info.
23:47We have to know what weapon they're going to use in detail.
23:49Are we running an MI5 inside MI5 here?
23:51Two projects in tandem.
23:53The real one and the decoy.
23:54Decoy goes to Harry.
23:55Reality stays here.
23:56Now, this is the DG's mandate.
23:57We have his blessing.
23:58No-one here likes this one bit,
23:59so let's get it over with as quick as we can, OK?
24:01Anything, anything at all, call my mobile.
24:04Mention the word bureaucracy,
24:05I'll know Harry's in earshot, but keep the info coming.
24:07Yeah, but if we stop the blast,
24:08McCann's going to cut us off.
24:09We're not going to stop the blast.
24:10We're going to smother it.
24:11No overt action.
24:12Accidentally, on purpose, the thing hurts no-one.
24:14It can be done.
24:15We've all seen it done before,
24:16and it's what's going to happen here.
24:17McCann's never going to believe that.
24:18I don't need him to believe it.
24:19I just need enough doubt in the equation
24:20for a bare-faced denial.
24:22We're giving them the craters, not the corpses.
24:25Get busy.
24:27I need a roof collapse at Broad Street Station.
24:29I think Heathrow Tunnel's in 94.
24:31Exactly, there you go.
24:32On our signal, all incoming trains
24:33divert to London Bridge or stop at Caton Junction.
24:35The roof will have gone at Broad Street Station.
24:37I don't know if you mind how I know.
24:39It's 60s architecture, of course it's fallen down.
24:41Look, you know the drill.
24:42Top pulling on the ceiling,
24:43a load of cladding on the concourse,
24:44electrics going fit.
24:45Tubes must stop.
24:47Customer action.
24:48It has to look and sound perfect.
24:49This is a national security issue, I'm afraid.
24:51If you haven't signed the Official Secrets Act,
24:52you're going to in about five minutes.
24:54Five minutes.
24:55Bye, courier.
24:56No special ops.
24:57Thanks.
25:00OK.
25:01Double up the watches at this station.
25:03I've just spoken to security
25:04and I expect them to use the access conduit
25:05under the platform like they talked about in 96.
25:07As soon as they leave the package,
25:08they'll let us know what time is set for.
25:10So let's start clearing the place.
25:16Broad's Line trains regret to announce
25:18that all trains are being re-routed
25:20to London Bridge Station.
25:21Thank you.
25:22Infrastructure's fine.
25:23Pedestrian route's fine.
25:24Station road's closed.
25:29Well, apart from your excessive wranglings.
25:31Absolutely.
25:35Lady stops.
25:36Yep, Zoe.
25:43For the record, I hate this as much as you do.
25:45Is that the real record, is it?
25:48Yep.
25:49Device is set for 7.30.
25:50Shall we lock it down?
25:51Yes.
25:52Confirmed.
25:54Set for a second.
26:25Yeah.
26:26Honey, that's just come in from the M.O.D.
26:30Thanks.
26:33Structural damage.
26:35No casualties.
26:38We're in the clear.
26:42Tom?
26:46That anti-tank weapon.
26:48It's a Scimitar missile.
26:51It's a Scimitar missile.
26:52It's a Scimitar missile.
26:54A batch of six was stolen back in the mid-90s.
26:57That's why the M.O.D. were so clammed up.
26:59But I had to tell them.
27:00When I said the magic word, Sefton B.,
27:02the barrels opened.
27:03Scimitar.
27:04I fired one of these up in Scotland.
27:05This is not good.
27:06We were thinking,
27:07lorries.
27:08This thing could be handled.
27:09Operated by two people.
27:11My hourly report tells me
27:12the bomb has not been placed,
27:14yet the station is in pieces.
27:16Somebody speak?
27:19Right.
27:21You lot.
27:23Meeting room.
27:24Now!
27:34My department faked a cover-up.
27:36Your department?
27:37You were fed false reports.
27:39And it's not in pieces.
27:40Part of it's faked.
27:41The rest was their work.
27:42Only damaged one side of the concourse.
27:46Who was aware of this?
27:51Harry, I'm sorry.
27:54I saw a mushroom cloud
27:55over the bloody country.
27:56I didn't...
27:58You always taught me
27:59to keep personal issues
28:00away from judgment.
28:01You didn't.
28:03I'm sorry.
28:05The attack on Sefton B.
28:06is looking real.
28:07We even know the weapon
28:08they're going to use.
28:09Shall we brief you?
28:21Oh, well.
28:23Needs must.
28:26Did a similar thing myself
28:27once to the DG.
28:29No corpses.
28:31You were lucky.
28:34What weapon?
28:36What?
28:38Oh, er...
28:39Right.
28:40The Scimitar
28:42was actually a prototype built...
28:43Did you say Scimitar?
28:46Built for the LFAT-GWS programme.
28:48A horrible acronym...
28:49Light Forces Anti-Tank Guided Weapon System.
28:52Well, go on.
28:53It's a variation on the Milan,
28:55or the Javelin,
28:56with two parts.
28:57The command launch unit
28:58and the round itself.
28:59It's light enough
29:00to be carried by two people.
29:01Range is just under 1.9 kilometres.
29:03This was filmed in Kosovo.
29:05Two warheads, correct?
29:06One to breach the reactive armour,
29:08and the main warhead
29:09to pulverise the base armour.
29:10In this case, the concrete
29:11with the steel tank inside.
29:13How did they find out about D421?
29:15It's an Irish government-funded website
29:16on the monitor building at the plant.
29:17It's understandable.
29:18It's open source.
29:19If so happens,
29:20their independent analysis is accurate,
29:21as is their timing.
29:22Asabir might also have
29:23someone on the inside.
29:24We can't be sure
29:25until we re-vet the whole plant,
29:26and we're only halfway through.
29:27This concrete is heavily reinforced.
29:29It's designed to maintain integrity
29:30even under blast.
29:31We can't be sure
29:32the reinforcement's not corroded.
29:33They are by the sea, after all.
29:34That's sick.
29:35Can't we shut it down?
29:36You can't shut down nuclear waste.
29:38How do they intend
29:39to deliver the ordnance?
29:40Land, sea, air.
29:41We don't know.
29:42It'll come in from anywhere.
29:43That's where Patrick's information
29:44will come in.
29:45If it comes in.
29:46Presumably, even McCann
29:47can't screw us on the timing.
29:49Which means tomorrow,
29:50sunrise at the clock,
29:51starts ticking,
29:52and only he knows
29:53when the alarm's been set for.
29:54In the meantime,
29:55we need a buffer zone.
29:56Two clicks should do it.
29:57Cleanse the area.
29:58Set up a scare.
29:59Lean heavily
30:00on every single
30:01known extremist sympathiser
30:02on the critical list
30:03within 100 miles.
30:04Presumably,
30:05we've touched up
30:06every agent in the Northwest.
30:07Can you mention something
30:08about a potential source
30:09in Bradford?
30:10Well placed,
30:11but sympathiser's unstable.
30:12Don't care.
30:13No doubt you know his buttons.
30:14Push them.
30:15Money.
30:16Watch.
30:17Throw it.
30:18Gloves are off.
30:19Oh, and call the
30:20anti-terrorism committee.
30:21Ask them to put the PM
30:22on standby.
30:23You'll forgive me
30:24if I don't hug you all.
30:25We'll get on to the newsroom.
30:26I...
30:27I know this might not
30:28be a good time, but...
30:29Office.
30:30Tessa has been running
30:31agents that do not exist.
30:33Yes.
30:34How long have you known this?
30:37For...
30:40For...
30:43I was too frightened to tell.
30:45But you are telling.
30:49She gave me money.
30:51It's in a safe place.
30:53I'm sure it is.
30:55How much?
30:57£10,000.
31:02It's just that...
31:04In the current situation,
31:06anything that she brings
31:07to the table from her agents...
31:09Well,
31:10we can't know if it's the truth.
31:12You're at the frontier
31:13of this job, Zoe.
31:14Because of what we are,
31:15we have to watch each other.
31:17Painful though that can sometimes be.
31:20Now,
31:21leave this office,
31:22go straight over to Tessa
31:23and chat all bright and shiny.
31:26Chat about what?
31:27Oh, me losing it.
31:31You've done very well.
31:32Now get yourself together.
31:44You're here.
32:03You're here.
32:08Didn't you believe me?
32:09Didn't want to believe it
32:10until I saw it.
32:12You look terrible.
32:13It's because I'm a terrible man.
32:16No, you're not.
32:21God, I'm glad to see you.
32:27I'm never going to let you go.
32:29You understand me?
32:30Never.
32:33I understand.
32:40We are just getting reports
32:42of an isolated outbreak
32:43of foot and mouth disease
32:44on a farm in Holywell,
32:45very close to the nuclear power facility
32:47Safton B.
32:48If confirmed,
32:49this would be a devastating blow
32:50to the farming community.
32:52The spokesman says
32:53the situation will be closely monitored...
32:56Definitely sunrise out there
32:57five minutes ago.
32:59Said he'd call at sunrise, didn't he?
33:01Foolish youth.
33:02Good call.
33:10I understand.
33:13He wants it delivered by hand.
33:14No backup.
33:15Naturally.
33:43No!
33:44We agreed!
33:45He'd have had to go.
34:13Come on!
34:15Come on!
34:16Get up!
34:17Come on!
34:18Get him in there!
34:19Get him down!
34:20Get him down!
34:22You messed up our operation!
34:24I don't know what you're talking about!
34:27Ha ha ha!
34:28Ha ha!
34:29Ha ha!
34:30Ha ha!
34:31Ha ha!
34:32Ha ha!
34:33Ha ha!
34:34Ha ha!
34:35Ha ha!
34:36Ha ha!
34:37Ha ha!
34:38Ha ha!
34:39Ha ha!
34:40Ha ha!
34:41Ha ha!
34:42Get him down there!
34:44You've got balls, Davy Crockett!
34:45You know that?
34:46I'm not going to shoot you.
34:47I'm just keeping our end of the bargain.
34:49It's lucky for you both our countries are at risk.
34:52Give him to me.
34:55Untie his hands!
34:58All the information you need about the attack
34:59is there on the hard drive.
35:01A hidden camera record of a meeting
35:02that we had with the bastards.
35:03Head shots, scanned shots,
35:05a map of the area,
35:06the whole shebang.
35:08This is one paper to another.
35:10All right.
35:11Now we must move.
35:29We could be friends in another life.
35:31We'll just have to wait till then.
35:39Come on.
36:05Danny, got it.
36:06It's today.
36:07It's all here.
36:08Mailing it to you now.
36:10Khan's group found these wreckage shots.
36:12Three different angles on Safton B,
36:13all with D421 in clear shot.
36:18Understood.
36:19The boundary's secure.
36:20They're flashing out civvies from inside the buffer zone
36:22as quickly as they can.
36:23Face-matching from the laptop IDs,
36:24check, and CCTV at a local outward bound centre.
36:27Pick them up.
36:28They're there.
36:30They're actually there.
36:39From the wreckage shots and the dead ground map,
36:41there's three possible locations for optimum firing.
36:43We need three teams to watch for movement
36:45and move in quick when they find it.
36:51Delta One, Charlie Six,
36:52what's your sitrep?
36:53Over.
36:54Charlie Six, Delta One,
36:55moving to create a scanning area for target.
36:58Say again.
36:59Over.
37:00Area scanning access farm gate,
37:02three o'clock, 500 metres, Joy Six.
37:05Roger, Delta One.
37:08Delta Two, Charlie Six, engagement is green.
37:10Repeat, engagement is green.
37:11Over.
37:39Get this area secure.
37:41I nearly shot a bloody farmer.
37:44Charlie Six, Delta Three,
37:45enemy located, request ROE.
37:47Over.
37:48Delta Three, Charlie Six,
37:49ROE is green.
37:51Over.
37:52Charlie Six, Delta Three,
37:53ROE confirmed, engaging.
38:08Yes.
38:16Look, correct me if I'm wrong,
38:19but did we just stop half the country from being nuked?
38:21Don't tell anyone, remember.
38:22Can I tell you?
38:23Just say it.
38:24Can I tell you again?
38:25Go on, then.
38:31So, what now?
38:33Drink, I think.
38:34That's it for sure.
38:37You're shaking.
38:38What if we hadn't stopped?
38:41The special forces have disincentivised the target, Harry.
38:45Disincentivised, Zoe?
38:47It's over.
38:48Tom made the mistake of saying that to me after his first probation,
38:50and I told him what I'll tell you.
38:52It's never over.
38:53We may dance with the devil, Zoe,
38:55but it's always to his tune.
39:00Hey, Danny, talk to me.
39:02Targets have been disincentivised, Tom.
39:05It's over.
39:06Go home.
39:07You earnt it.
39:10My place.
39:35Hello?
39:36Anybody home?
39:38Tom?
39:43Here, your presents for me.
39:44Hello.
39:45From the shops.
39:46We're going to make melting moments.
39:48Oh, you know.
39:49When are you going home?
39:50I'm going to cook them.
39:51Because I can.
39:52Are you surprised?
39:53Yeah, you could say that.
39:54They're going to be covered in chocolate.
39:55What have you done to your head?
39:56Oh, nothing.
39:57A fight with the car door.
39:58I'm going to have a shower,
39:59but before then I need to know the exact secret ingredients
40:01of the melting moments.
40:06I know.
40:11Know what?
40:14You are a brilliant woman.
40:17If you wanted to get into treachery,
40:19couldn't it be something ideological?
40:22Something grand?
40:25But to invent bogus agents and pocket their payoffs.
40:30I know.
40:31To invent bogus agents and pocket their payoffs.
40:38They were very good agents.
40:40I know.
40:41They always told me what I wanted to hear.
40:45They could, um, retire.
40:49Have unfortunate deaths.
40:51I'm sorry, Tess.
40:54I know the service's traditional approach to wrongdoers
40:56is to smother them with kindness.
40:58But I'm going to throw you to the wolves.
41:07You mean you only forgive sins if they're large?
41:13Perhaps.
41:15And that's how you forgave yourself for cowardice in Ireland?
41:21What are you talking about?
41:22Bill Crombie, in 1978.
41:25You saw him there.
41:261978.
41:27You saw him die.
41:28You did nothing, despite the pistol in your hand.
41:32Not that you ever mentioned that you had a gun, of course.
41:36Until you buried it.
41:38Deep.
41:40Are you threatening me?
41:42You threatened me from way up there on your moral high ground.
41:46You hypocritical arsehole.
41:50Sounds to me like you have an ejector seat.
41:52Let's just say that it would be better for you if I were to stay here.
42:03Fair enough.
42:22George.
42:23Yes, Mr. Pearson.
42:25Miss Tessa Phillips is to be paged to go to reception.
42:28She's to be met there and escorted from the building at once.
42:32Then she's to be driven to safehouse number seven to await further instructions.
42:36She is to be allowed no contact with any other officer.
42:42Do it immediately.
42:43Yes, sir.
42:52Fight.
43:15Fight.
43:18Oh, goody.
43:22Look at those. These are scrumptious.
43:24Look at those.
43:26Good news.
43:27Pop these in.
43:35It's for you.
43:36Thank you very much, chocolate face.
43:38Ah, thank you, chocolate phone.
43:41Oh, Tom.
43:43Oh, I'll take it outside.
43:46Let me do it.
43:47PHONE RINGS
43:53Hello?
43:56Hello?
43:58Hello?
44:04Hello?
44:05Davey, it wasn't me, all right.
44:07What?
44:08Look, it wasn't.
44:09Is that Patrick?
44:10What was it?
44:11It was the other lad. I found out.
44:13My brand key.
44:15On you.
44:16Now you're breaking up.
44:17The laptop's rigged.
44:18The bastards put a slab of C4 in it.
44:22Repeat that.
44:23The laptop has six ounces of explosive in it.
44:26That's enough to take out half my street.
44:27There's three.
44:29Yeah, at my home.
44:30Oh, sorry. They thought you'd taken it to work.
44:32Is it a timer?
44:33Aye, it's a timer.
44:34Near the motherboard, on the left-hand side.
44:36You stay on the line.
44:37No, I can't.
44:38You stay on the line.
44:39I've got to go.
44:40Patrick!
44:43Patrick!
44:44Hello?
44:47Ellie!
44:48Jesus, what?
44:49Open the door!
44:50Maisy, sweetheart, where's...
44:52Oh, look.
44:53What have you done?
44:54Ellie, come on.
44:55Okay.
45:04Come on.
45:05Bloody key. It won't work.
45:06The key's not...
45:07Try it slowly.
45:11Still red, Tom.
45:12Okay, go to my jacket.
45:14My key's in the left-hand pocket.
45:16That should do it.
45:17Hurry, quickly!
45:29Hello?
45:30Aye, there's a gas leak.
45:31Let's get everyone out of the house.
45:32Gas leak.
45:38Still red, Tom.
45:39Okay, pass it here.
45:40Pass it out of the letterbox.
45:45Is there anything in the lock?
45:46Can you see?
45:47Um...
45:48Oh, there's...
45:49I made it sticky.
45:50I'm not... I'm not sure.
45:51Ellie, listen to me.
45:52Get out of the house now.
45:53Why?
45:54Just do as I say.
45:58Hey, now, what's going on here?
45:59There's a gas leak.
46:00There is a gas leak.
46:01Get away from the area.
46:02Sir, I am telling you, I am a manager from a gas company.
46:05I'm ordering you to leave the area now.
46:07Moderate your tone.
46:09Tom!
46:10Tom!
46:11We can't get out.
46:12Everything is locked.
46:13What the hell is going on?
46:14Try the attics.
46:15You can go up to the roof.
46:16Come on.
46:21Ellie, come on!
46:22Is there a problem here at all?
46:24I'm security service.
46:25There's a bomb in my house.
46:26It's the fourth I've met today, mate.
46:28My ID's inside.
46:29I'm locked out.
46:30Ring the bloody number.
46:31And what number was that?
46:32I don't know.
46:33I'm sorry, sir.
46:34I'm sorry.
46:35I'm sorry.
46:36I'm sorry.
46:37And what number would that be, sir?
46:397-9-4-6-0-0-0-1.
46:41Ellie!
46:42Come on!
46:457-9-4-6-0-0-0-1.
46:48Right.
46:49And get him out, too.
46:50Right.
46:51Oi!
46:52Battering ram!
46:53Torches!
46:54Get a drill team out here now!
46:55Ellie.
46:56Ellie.
46:57It's all blocked off.
46:58It's sealed.
46:59Oh, we did that shit.
47:00Look, I'm not going to do a single thing to you.
47:02Tell me what is going on.
47:03Listen to me.
47:04There's a bomb in the computer that I brought home.
47:07Did you hear me?
47:08Did you hear what I said, Ellie?
47:09Do you understand what I'm saying?
47:10Do you understand what I'm saying?
47:11I heard you.
47:12No, I've locked the computer in the filing cabinet in my office.
47:14Listen to me carefully.
47:15Go to my jacket.
47:17In my jacket pocket are my car keys.
47:19There's a red key on there.
47:20Get the red key.
47:21Go upstairs to the office.
47:22It's the bottom right-hand drawer of my filing cabinet in my office.
47:25I said too much.
47:26There's a box in the bottom right...
47:27I said too much.
47:28Call me.
47:29OK, I'm calling you now.
47:30I'm calling you now.
47:34It's my fault, Mummy.
47:38In the bottom drawer.
47:47Hello.
47:48Zoe, get me Danny.
47:49Still.
47:51Hey.
47:52Danny, Patrick's rigged the laptop.
47:54It's packed with C4.
47:55It's a notebook.
47:56It's a year old.
47:57C4's on a timer near the motherboard.
47:59The internal clock is on a battery.
48:00If they've set it up on that, you can take the battery out and you're fine.
48:04What?
48:05Hold on.
48:06On the other hand, taking the battery out could break the connection and risk setting it off anyway.
48:09Setting what off?
48:10Hold on.
48:11As could any jar movement.
48:12Oh, shit.
48:13OK, conference is to my home line.
48:23Hey, be careful with it.
48:24Keep it flat.
48:25No sudden movements.
48:26No, you tell him.
48:36Tom?
48:37Tom?
48:39Tom?
48:40Maisy, listen, darling, we're going to play a game, OK?
48:42I want you to do something for me.
48:43Piggy in the middle.
48:44No, let's play hide and seek.
48:45Yeah.
48:46What I want you to do is go to the cupboard under the stairs and get inside and find all the old blankets and clothes,
48:51all the overcoats you can find and wrap yourself up and then curl down on the floor like a little hedgehog, OK?
48:56Why?
48:57Because I'm telling you to.
48:58But if you tell me where to hide, you'll know where to find me.
49:01But Mummy's going to try and find you.
49:02OK.
49:03OK?
49:04Go on.
49:07Ellie?
49:08Ellie?
49:10I'm here.
49:11OK, Danny's on the line.
49:12He's going to talk you through it, OK?
49:13Ellie, just do everything I say and we'll be all right.
49:16Gently.
49:17Put it down gently, sweetheart.
49:18The bomb's on a timer, so it should be safe to open it.
49:21We need to get to the motherboard.
49:24Gently and slowly, OK?
49:37Shall I turn it on?
49:38No.
49:39No.
49:40Just do exactly what he tells you.
49:42You should be able to just lift the keyboard.
49:47There should be an insulation under there.
49:50Lift it up.
49:51There's a metal plate or something.
49:53That's it.
49:54Lift that too.
49:56Hey.
49:57What is it?
49:58What?
49:59There's no bomb.
50:02It's fine.
50:04Ellie, how do you know?
50:05Look, I know a little about computers.
50:07There's a hard drive, memory chips, motherboard, clock.
50:10It's all there.
50:12There's no wires, Tom.
50:13No wires.
50:14No wires.
50:15No wires.
50:16No wires.
50:17No wires.
50:18No wires.
50:19No wires.
50:20No wires.
50:21No wires.
50:22No wires.
50:23No wires.
50:24No wires at all.
50:25Just a little LCD clock, tiny little thing.
50:28There's no clock on the motherboard.
50:30Ellie, where's the clock?
50:31Right beside the motherboard.
50:32What does the clock say?
50:34It's just the clock with the time.
50:36It says 1.15.
50:3914.
50:4113.
50:4312.
50:44It's going backwards, Tom.
50:48Tom, it's going backwards.
50:51Right.
50:53OK.
51:00OK, they're going to bust the door down. Step back.
51:02Come on.
51:05Do not touch that clock yet. We're working on it.
51:07Let me move it away.
51:08Do not touch it. Stand back.
51:09Christ, what's this thing made from?
51:11It's reinforced steel. Where's the cutters? Where's the torch?
51:13Through the window bars. Go.
51:15Actually, next door. Get a team next door.
51:17Two next door now.
51:18OK, Zoe's come through with something.
51:20It's 146, Tom.
51:21Stop counting.
51:2245 seconds. We've got to clear the area.
51:24No.
51:25Danny, if that's C4, we have to clear the area.
51:27The clock might have a separate battery to the computer.
51:30If that's true, she can disconnect it.
51:32Ellie.
51:33Ellie, can you see a screw anywhere on the clock?
51:35It's a separate LCD screw. I can't see a screw.
51:37There's got to be a screw there somewhere.
51:40We're clearing.
51:41No.
51:42Ellie, a screw.
51:43What screw? I can't see a screw.
51:45There's got to be a screw.
51:46What screw? I can't see a screw.
51:48Listen to me, sir.
51:49This goes off with all these men here. That's 20 dead.
51:51Pulling back, it's two.
51:52I'm staying. I'm staying.
51:53Less than the two evils.
51:54Your choice, sir. We've got to move.
51:55Pull back 50 metres, everyone.
51:57Ellie, I love you.
52:01There's got to be a screw.
52:03There has to be a screw on the clock.
52:05I can't see a screw.
52:07Oh, no.
52:10Why haven't you come to find me?
52:15Why haven't you come to find me?
