00:01It's my gym stuff. Can't wear this to judo.
00:03It's not your gym stuff. It's your judo stuff.
00:05It's your gym stuff.
00:07Where's my recycling project?
00:09On the coffee table there, where you were doing it last night.
00:12My nice breakers.
00:14What? No, listen, come here.
00:17Look at that.
00:19That's brilliant.
00:23They're gonna love it. Here, you take that.
00:27Got your judo kit.
00:29Come on, quick, let's go.
00:31No, I'm sorry, he's not around at the moment. Can I take a message?
00:35Dr Jewell.
00:37Could he do Thursday?
00:42Come on, move. Move.
00:45Keep going.
00:50Out! Out! Out!
00:56Out!
01:26Out!
01:57Turn around.
01:59Right, you give this to the British government.
02:01Go. Go!
02:18Adam, the terrorists are deep inside the barrier.
02:20They're controlling the central two piers.
02:22All staff ejected. No news on casualties, but there were gunshots.
02:24Do we have any news from the PLA?
02:26They're putting out a cover story saying they're stopping all shipping.
02:28Do we have contact with the terrorists? Not yet. All comms are down.
02:30OK, they should say that it's only a routine drill
02:32and the barrier's being raised for testing.
02:34Saf, contact the barrier security.
02:36Tell them the Home Secretary's issued a quarantine on all barrier staff and visitors.
02:39Make sure nobody leaves the barrier complex.
02:41Confiscate all mobile phones. This only gets out to the press when we tell them.
02:44Adam, Cobra will meet in 15 minutes.
02:46Set up a secure negotiation line.
02:48Deputy PM's on her way.
02:55Deputy PM, welcome.
02:57Joint chiefs of staff are waiting for you in Cobra,
02:59along with engineers from the barrier.
03:01Harry, this is Janet Wheeler, the government's chief scientist.
03:04Janet, before you.
03:06The PM has authorised me to take the chair.
03:08You'll be in contact throughout the day from Tokyo.
03:10Have you had any contact with the terrorists?
03:12Divine Earth stormed the barrier about quarter past eight this morning.
03:15Four sealing off the central barrier area.
03:17They delivered a computer disk.
03:20Our planet is dying.
03:22Ice caps are melting.
03:24Sea levels are rising by many metres.
03:26Southern Europe will become a desert.
03:28Northern Europe will experience a new ice age,
03:30where we'll all become casualties of the climate's revenge on mankind's insanity.
03:35This is not tomorrow's problem. The nightmare's already begun.
03:39Unless our demands on that Divine Earth are met,
03:41we'll all die.
03:43This is not tomorrow's problem. The nightmare's already begun.
03:47Unless our demands on that Divine Earth are met,
03:49we'll today offer London a warning of the chaos to come.
03:52A chaos of our own creation.
03:58What do we have on them?
03:59Some form of environmental terrorism not on our radar before.
04:03CCTV footage from the barrier is being sent over now.
04:05General Clark, when can we expect contact?
04:08They've kept one telephone line open from the barrier to the bankside control building.
04:12We've diverted the line to Thames House. My senior officer is waiting for them to call.
04:16How long can we cope without control of the barrier?
04:19Deputy Prime Minister,
04:21over the last few days there has been a large low-pressure system
04:24driving east over the Atlantic,
04:27creating a surge of seawater.
04:29This, combined with a high spring tide,
04:31will produce a six-metre wall of water
04:34in the Thames estuary at five o'clock this evening.
04:37This kind of tide happens two or three times every year.
04:40The levels have been rising over the last few years due to climate change,
04:43but the barrier would normally cope without a problem.
04:45It's a stunning piece of engineering.
04:47And without the barrier?
04:48The Environment Agency has created a mapping programme
04:51showing the extent of flooding in London for every metre's height of water.
04:58This surge would flood the Essex flatlands and the Thames Gateway within minutes.
05:02Within an hour, the Houses of Parliament, Waterloo and Victoria stations
05:05would be under six feet of water.
05:07This flood would extend to Lambeth, Fulham, Battersea, Hammersmith, Putney, Barnes
05:11and as far as Richmond and Twickenham.
05:13Children, the old and the ill, will be the first victims.
05:16Estimated death toll?
05:18Without evacuation, one and a quarter million people are at risk.
05:21Deputy Prime Minister, we have a phased city evacuation plan ready to go
05:25and I have the necessary troops standing by to enforce it.
05:28I want to talk to these people before we push any panic buttons.
05:33There are two men missing, presumed dead.
05:35Alan Jackson, the barrier guide, was shot trying to raise the alarm
05:38and a civil servant, Robert Cash, still unaccounted for.
05:40Don't tell their families yet. We need to keep this absolutely quiet.
05:42Sure.
05:43Get back to me as soon as you've got it.
05:45Oh, and a Dr Jewell rang. I said you'd ring her back.
05:47Right.
05:48Yeah, that's the shrink. I've been seeing her a couple of times.
05:53How's that going?
05:54Fine. She's given me the all-clear.
05:56Recommended a couple of extra orange juices and go easy on the self-pity.
06:00So you're not seeing her any more?
06:02What?
06:03You're not seeing her any more?
06:05No.
06:09Adam, we have something.
06:12We ran an ID check on all the delegates.
06:14The three that have remained on the barrier are from the Dutch Environmental Commission.
06:17Unless we've declared a tulip embargo, it's probably not the Dutch.
06:20CCTV of the Dutch delegation checking into the Fitzwallis Hotel in Mayfair last night
06:25and this is them checking out this morning.
06:27Different people. They had full ID, photocards, paperwork, vetting forms, everything.
06:31Had an environmental terror group manage to replace a government commission.
06:34And where are the delegates?
06:36CCTV from the barrier entrance.
06:41He's not exactly camera shy.
06:44Let's find out who he is.
06:47Adam. Adam?
06:49They're calling.
06:56This is Nick Harding representing the British government.
06:58Did you get the disk?
07:00Who am I speaking to?
07:01That doesn't matter.
07:04We're missing a British civil servant, Robert Cash, and a member of barrier staff, Alan Jackson.
07:08Can you confirm what happened to them?
07:11We heard gunshots.
07:13I'm sorry that happened, but if people don't listen to what we ask,
07:15they may unfortunately suffer the consequences.
07:19What do you want?
07:20The British government are in possession of a document.
07:23It's called Aftermath.
07:25Never heard of it.
07:26It exists.
07:27What is it?
07:28You'll find that out when you publish it.
07:30And if we refuse?
07:32We won't close the barrier gates for the high tide tonight.
07:35And at 5 o'clock this evening, London floods.
07:38And if we publish it?
07:40We'll leave the barrier and give ourselves up for arrest.
07:43How do I know I can trust you?
07:45I'll call you at 10.45.
07:47Try anything silly and we blow the hydraulics on all four central piers.
07:50Three pound of grade A Semtex.
07:52And if that goes up, the barrier never closes.
07:55The Dutch delegates have been picked up.
07:57They were tied up in the hotel room.
07:58Have we got anything on Aftermath yet?
08:00The obvious assumption from the disc is an environmental connection,
08:02but we've checked every DEFRA database,
08:04and no environmental or rural issue has any mention of Aftermath.
08:06We've also checked government strategy on the effects of chemical and biological attacks on major cities.
08:09No mention of Aftermath.
08:11Nuclear?
08:12Same story.
08:13In fact, all we've come up with so far is a mental health charity in Sheffield.
08:15Oh, and a thrash metal rock band in Iowa.
08:17For God's sake, Malcolm, this isn't a bloody joke.
08:18They're playing with us.
08:21They're using a fictional document as a smokescreen
08:23to justify doing as much damage as possible to as many people as possible.
08:26We get the blame and they become martyrs to the cause.
08:29I'm going to go and brief Cobra.
08:31Rose, you look after things from here.
08:32Sure.
08:43Hi, yeah, this is Cobra.
08:45Yeah, I know.
08:48Hi, yeah, this is Dr. Susan Gold,
08:50head of psychiatry at the Merlin Institute in Roehampton.
08:53Yeah, I'm sending through request form P334 now.
08:59Come on, Harry, are you telling me this is the best you can do?
09:02We still have seven hours.
09:04It isn't possible to negotiate with someone who wants something that doesn't exist.
09:07Divine Earth don't want money, so we have nothing to offer them.
09:09Well, there must be something we can do.
09:11We have CCTV cameras monitoring both tunnels.
09:13We can't get at them or the explosives without being seen.
09:16They've cut the power, heating, air supply. It's like a fortress.
09:20Why have they cut the air supply?
09:22Well, they're probably worried we'd use the vents to get at them.
09:24Could we?
09:26We need the power back on.
09:28Can we reconnect the power to the air supply?
09:30They've destroyed the main circuit,
09:32but there's a power intercept box halfway across the tunnel leading from the north side.
09:35You'd have to get to that without being caught by the cameras.
09:38Well, we could travel along the plant tunnel underneath the floor.
09:40The cameras would never pick us up.
09:41And then what?
09:42You could redirect the power for the air supply to the mains.
09:45It's a different circuit to the one they've destroyed.
09:47So, we reconnect the air supply.
09:50And then we gas them.
09:53It would have to work almost instantaneously, otherwise they'd detect it.
09:56How big a space are we dealing with?
09:58With central pier and lower section, it's 16 by 10 meters space.
10:03Who's going in?
10:05We have a special operatives unit on standby.
10:07I'll take them in.
10:09They'd never find the intercept box in the darkness.
10:12I know it better than anyone.
10:14I helped design it.
10:17Well, let's get going.
10:18I'm requesting your authority to use an opiate of a lethally high concentration.
10:23The effect will be instantaneous.
10:25We can't afford to take any risks if just one of them remains alive.
10:34I can't stop my hands shaking.
10:36Don't worry, Andrew. You're going to be fine.
10:45Andrew?
10:49Look, um, are you sure you're okay to do this?
10:51Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
10:54You know what? On second thoughts, I think I'll come in with you.
10:56I always like to see a master at work.
10:58Great.
11:00Thanks.
11:01And don't worry about these. They're just a precaution.
11:03I need to put them on till the last minute.
11:09They're in the tunnel.
11:11I've been checking the civil service's vetting procedure for the delegation.
11:14They've got top-drawer security. There's no way they could have just slipped through.
11:16What, you think someone must have helped? Who?
11:18The only civil servant who had access to all the papers was Robert Cash.
11:22Thought Cash was dead.
11:24No. No, that's what they wanted us to think.
11:27He's with them. Joe, get background ID on Cash. Everything.
11:42He's worked at the Department of the Environment and Rural Affairs for six years.
11:45No known connections with environment groups.
11:47But he visited America in 2005.
11:49Why?
11:50He went to New Orleans.
11:51Just after Katrina?
11:52Did he go on behalf of the government?
11:53No, he went on an emergency visa.
11:55Why would they issue him an emergency visa?
11:57His daughter.
11:58She died in the flood. They never found the body.
12:02I'm sorry.
12:03I'm sorry.
12:04I'm sorry.
12:05I'm sorry.
12:06I'm sorry.
12:07I'm sorry.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:09I'm sorry.
12:10I'm sorry.
12:14OK.
12:15It's here.
12:25Yours.
12:29Barrier records show that Robert Cash went on a preparatory site visit two days ago
12:33with a junior from the Department of the Environment.
12:35They spent 20 minutes on the barrier alone.
12:37What was the name of the junior?
12:38Simon Ritter.
12:41No, there is no Simon Ritter at the Department of Environment and Rural Affairs.
12:45They've prepped the operation.
12:47What if they know about the intercept box?
12:49We've got to isolate the electrics to the air supply.
12:51Malcolm!
12:52We've got to connect it to the mains without turning everything else on.
12:56Malcolm, get Zef out of there!
12:58I can't. He's out of signal range.
12:59They've removed all surveillance footage from the barrier.
13:01Five.
13:02Three.
13:04Six.
13:05Zero.
13:07Is there a problem?
13:09It looks different.
13:10What does it?
13:11The wiring.
13:14Maybe it doesn't.
13:15It must just be me.
13:16I've got it.
13:17Andrew!
13:18Andrew, look out!
13:31What the hell are you doing?
13:32I have no idea.
13:33Yes, you do. What have you done?
13:36Wait.
13:39Sir, we've got to get out of here now.
13:44It was an anti-personnel device.
13:46Sophisticated kit.
13:48The explosion decapitated him. He wouldn't have felt a thing.
13:51Deputy Prime Minister, these people are deadly serious.
13:53I'm recommending we begin a phased evacuation plan
13:55according to the strategy laid out by the London Resilience Team.
13:58We don't have much time. High tide is at five o'clock.
14:01If we commit to evacuation, people will die
14:05and we set in motion something we cannot control.
14:08The stock exchange crashes.
14:10The markets go into a tailspin.
14:13Money pours out of the UK into anywhere that will take it.
14:16We enter a major recession within hours.
14:19I'm not giving these people the satisfaction of witnessing their own success.
14:23We'll reconvene shortly.
14:25In the meantime, I'd like you all to investigate other solutions.
14:36I don't understand. Why won't she evacuate?
14:38Something to hide?
14:39We have a positive idea on the group.
14:41This one's the most interesting, Craig Fletcher.
14:43He used to work with Rachel in New Orleans and guess what?
14:46They were engaged.
14:51We've got to get out of here now.
14:53I'm recommending we begin a phased evacuation plan
14:55according to the strategy laid out by the London Resilience Team.
14:58The stock exchange crashes.
15:00The markets go into a tailspin.
15:02The markets go into a tailspin.
15:05We'll reconvene shortly.
15:20Adam, Cash's daughter Rachel was an activist
15:23working with the poor black community in New Orleans.
15:26When Katrina hit, she disappeared.
15:28Cash went over to find her body, but he never did.
15:31In New Orleans, he met Craig Fletcher.
15:34They're looking for Rachel,
15:35trying to raise awareness of increased flood risk due to climate change.
15:39They're doing all this for a dead girl?
15:41Hell of a memorial.
15:43I'm on my way back.
15:45Harry, this changes the picture.
15:47They're acting out of grief.
15:48We can't be sure what their real intentions are.
15:50We can't let them control this anymore.
15:52I have to get in there.
15:53You told me we could do this without hurting anyone.
15:56I know.
15:57It was always a possibility if they didn't stick to their word.
16:00Look, you've got to be realistic about this, Robert.
16:03We have committed to the greater cause.
16:06For Rachel.
16:08Making a difference to this planet before it's too late.
16:13OK?
16:16OK, let's see if they'll listen to us now.
16:19Come on.
16:32I want to talk about New Orleans.
16:37I want to talk about Rachel Cash.
16:40Rachel Cash disappeared in the flood in New Orleans.
16:42Her body was never found.
16:43That's what you and Robert are doing there today.
16:45I'm not interested in personal conversations.
16:47You'd better start evacuating.
16:49Two people are dead already.
16:50They had friends and family, just like Rachel.
16:52If we're going to avoid more killings, we need to talk now.
16:55Face to face.
16:56No way. No more talking.
16:58We've had enough.
17:00Aftermath exists.
17:04You said it didn't.
17:05I lied.
17:06But no one's going to let you have it unless we trust you.
17:09So we need to talk.
17:10So talk.
17:11Not on the phone. Face to face.
17:13You've got to be kidding.
17:14Then there's no deal.
17:16You have to work with us, Craig.
17:23OK, come up the north tunnel.
17:25Just you.
17:26Don't forget.
17:27I've got someone here with a finger on the detonator.
17:31Your operative had no authority to make that decision.
17:34He had to find a way onto the barrier.
17:36Our best hope is to negotiate face to face.
17:38By confessing to some ridiculous fiction, it weakens our position.
17:41Aftermath does not exist.
17:43It buys us time. It gets us closer to the target.
17:46And then what?
17:47What's he going to give them at the end of it all?
17:51The truth is simple.
17:53We have nothing to offer these people.
17:55And the sooner they find that out, the better.
17:59This emits a tracker signal.
18:00We'll be able to follow you wherever you go.
18:02If you change the signal from red to green, we'll take that as an order to storm.
18:05We need to get Divine Earth away from the detonators and the CCTV monitors.
18:09All in that central area.
18:10It's the only way in, Adam.
18:11If you can create enough of a distraction, that'll give special forces the 30 seconds they need.
18:16Divide and rule.
18:17More information on Craig Fletcher.
18:19Ex-soldier. Joined up at 17 and was stationed in Northern Ireland.
18:23Awarded a medal for bravery when his patrol unit in West Belfast was ambushed by an IRA hit squad.
18:28He saved the lives of two fellow soldiers.
18:30Fast-tracked to officer training at Sandhurst.
18:32Became a lieutenant in peacekeeping forces in East Africa and Bosnia.
18:36Spotless record.
18:37He retired from the army with full honours.
18:39Now he's on a mission to avenge the death of his girlfriend.
18:42Adam, solo negotiation is extremely risky.
18:44Fletcher knows what he's doing. Don't take any unnecessary risks.
18:47Don't worry, Harry. My doggy paddles are the support.
18:52Deputy Prime Minister.
18:55It's the right decision.
18:57We have to hold our nerve.
19:00I'm on my way back now.
19:03She's jumpy.
19:05I don't think it's Divine Earth she's scared of.
19:08I think it's what they're after.
19:10Sorry, I don't quite follow.
19:11I want to authorise a phone tap. Somewhat sensitive one.
19:14You don't mean... That requires a signature from the Prime Minister.
19:17Not today.
19:19Come on, you've been doing this almost as long as I have. Does it smell right to you?
19:22Harry, I don't feel comfortable with this.
19:24Support only to me. Write nothing down. No traces.
19:38Harry!
19:44Harry!
20:08Harry!
20:27Jeff.
20:29You OK?
20:30Yeah.
20:32We shouldn't have sent Starkey in there. He wasn't ready for it.
20:43Listen, please, but there's no time.
20:46I meant to bring you to my mum at the Tate Mall, but I'm afraid I can't. I have a lot to do.
20:49Let me try calling her.
20:50Yeah, her phone's busted.
20:55Jacket off, jewellery off.
21:02Where's Adam?
21:03He's gone.
21:04Gone where?
21:05The barrier.
21:07Get him on the phone.
21:08Well, it's not possible. We can track him, but we can't...
21:14According to that, for the last three months, he's been suffering from acute post-traumatic stress.
21:19Read the final paragraph.
21:22The patient has agreed that continuing in his current role risks leading to a nervous collapse.
21:27He will request immediate leave.
21:29Get me who wrote this.
21:42Three pound of Celt-X on each hydraulic mechanism.
21:46Monitors have been watched at all times.
21:49If we see anything strange on those screens or you try anything unwise,
21:52she presses the button, that's it.
21:54If we see anything strange on those screens or you try anything unwise,
21:57she presses the button, the whole thing goes up.
22:00Okay?
22:19Sit down.
22:25Don't move.
22:31Adam's with them in the lower area.
22:33All right. Back in Cobra in five minutes.
22:37I've downloaded every text from Caroline Fox's phone to date.
22:39This one was sent at 11.47 to the Prime Minister's private secretary, Michael Fitzgerald.
22:44Now, five minutes after receiving Fox's text,
22:46Michael Fitzgerald called the private security company with an order to deliver a parcel
22:49from the back entrance of number 10 to an undisclosed address.
22:55This is DZ-43.
22:56Central office. Your 12.30 pick-up's been cancelled.
23:00Time for a coffee.
23:01Copy that.
23:07Hello?
23:08Sir, this is DZ security concerning your delivery pick-up.
23:10It's late. What's going on?
23:12I'm afraid the van's stuck in traffic in Bethnal Green. It could be half an hour.
23:15We've lost contact.
23:16We've lost contact.
23:17We've lost contact.
23:18We've lost contact.
23:19We've lost contact.
23:20We've lost contact.
23:21We've lost contact.
23:22We've lost contact.
23:23I'm afraid the van's stuck in traffic in Bethnal Green. It could be half an hour.
23:25I can offer you a motorbike courier with a secure lock-up facility.
23:28We'll be with you in less than five minutes.
23:30I'm not sure how big the parcel is.
23:32Get me the motorbike. Fast.
23:34Right away, sir.
23:37Z3, move into position.
23:41Give him the access code.
23:54Aftermath.
23:56A bilateral US-UK agreement agreeing to end the fight against global warming.
24:00And a focused strategy on maximising economic, military and political influence in a world devastated by climate change.
24:09We give up fighting climate change.
24:11And focus instead on being the first to take advantage of the consequences.
24:15Aftermath advocates methodical US and UK acquisition of global fossil fuels and other natural resources in the 21st century.
24:24In anticipation of increasing resource scarcity, oil depletion and spiralling prices.
24:31It advocates sustained military operations to secure natural resource networks.
24:36It anticipates a global population expansion.
24:39It anticipates sustained military operations to secure natural resource networks.
24:42It anticipates a global population reduction of between 20 and 35 percent.
24:47This it describes as not only an inevitability, but a necessity.
24:54Read the final recommendation.
24:57The proposal recommends implementing a cosmetic series of environmental measures to neutralise green lobbies.
25:03The proposal recommends implementing a cosmetic series of environmental measures to neutralise green lobbies.
25:09Whilst establishing an international stranglehold on carbon resources in the next hundred years.
25:14This will involve the reintroduction of a full nuclear weapons programme.
25:19To create effective deterrence in an unstable global climate.
25:24In short, a cold war scenario for the environmental age. Why did we not know this?
25:29That proposal is in the early consultation stage.
25:32Is that why you didn't consult your chief scientist?
25:34Not to mention military chiefs, intelligence officials.
25:37You're making senior establishment figures look like school boys.
25:40The necessity for discretion makes wide consultation impossible.
25:43And who exactly are you consulting with?
25:45Aftermath is a light pencil proposal that has been through no kind of consultation process.
25:50It must never be made public.
25:52Why not? If that's what you're really intending.
25:55We published that. And basically we're accepting the death of millions of people.
26:00If anyone even suspects we believe global warming will deliver this degree of change.
26:05And you think it will?
26:06Of course it will. Everything Janet's been telling us for the last five years tells us it will.
26:11The point is we can't stop it without destroying our economies.
26:15There's no way international governments will collaborate in the way necessary for a unified battle to be fought.
26:21How do you know that?
26:23Oh, come on, Janet. You've been to Kyoto.
26:26You think America will ever agree to those cuts, let alone China and India?
26:30And that's a fifth of what's required.
26:32If we go it alone, it will cripple us.
26:34We'll be the dinosaur of the global economy.
26:37We must hold our position.
26:40Then why not come clean, open up the debate?
26:43And watch confidence shatter.
26:45There'll be a global crisis within days.
26:48That's when the wars begin.
26:50It strikes me that if aftermath is adopted, then the wars will begin anyway.
26:56This is a direct order from Downing Street.
26:59It doesn't leave this room.
27:05Yes?
27:06You're asking me to break the Hippocratic Oath?
27:09I have an operative in a situation where one wrong decision could cause the death of thousands of people.
27:15Adam Carter is suffering an acute form of post-traumatic stress disorder.
27:21He's experiencing chronic flashbacks, suicidal impulses and manic episodes.
27:28His condition is rooted in survivor guilt.
27:31He wishes he was dead and that his wife was still alive.
27:37We have to get him off the operation, Harry.
27:39We have no way of communicating with him.
27:41Diana, I'd like you to stay here on the grid.
27:50Tell us about aftermath.
27:52I haven't seen it. It's highly classified.
27:54But you know it exists.
27:56I know they'll only publish it if they trust you.
27:58Why wouldn't they trust us?
28:00Look at the position you're in. You're at the centre of the world's attention.
28:03If I was in your shoes, I'd just be tempted to blow it anyway.
28:06We don't want to blow the barrier.
28:08We want you to publish aftermath.
28:10Is that what you want too, Craig?
28:14I've been reading your military record.
28:16What are you talking about?
28:18The two soldiers who were killed in Belfast.
28:21He hid and watched while two of his friends were ambushed by an IRA hit squad.
28:24Nothing was ever proven, but it was thought advisable that Lieutenant Fletcher be released from the service.
28:28That's utter bullshit. I saved those men.
28:31You have a history of mental illness, Craig.
28:34Which is why we have our concerns about guarantees you're giving us.
28:37I mean, we've seen your medical history.
28:39Can you blame us for suspecting that you've chosen a decent man in a state of grief
28:43to fulfil some twisted personal fantasy?
28:45Robert, he's lying. Don't fall for it.
28:47The man you blew up at the intercept was called Andrew Starkey.
28:51He has three children.
28:54Before you set that booby trap,
28:57did someone assure you that it was just a deterrent?
29:00Before you set that booby trap,
29:02did someone assure you that it was just a deterrent?
29:04It was a deterrent.
29:05Are you sure about that?
29:06Are you absolutely sure that some of these people don't just want to punish the world?
29:09Punish people like Andrew Starkey? Like me?
29:11I mean, I have a son.
29:13Eight years old.
29:16He'll die.
29:17I mean, he knows more about the environment than I do.
29:19Who's to say that when he grows up, he won't end up like another Rachel?
29:22But that doesn't matter to you, does it?
29:23You just want blood!
29:24Enough!
29:25You know you're lying.
29:28Craig.
29:31You're going to find out.
29:34Go on.
29:37Show Robert what you're really about.
29:41Go on!
29:48Harry, they'll be calling in 15 minutes.
29:50What do I offer them?
29:51Nothing.
29:53What about the document?
29:54Nothing.
29:56We don't have a plan B.
29:58We don't have a plan B.
30:00If Adam doesn't succeed...
30:01I'm aware of that.
30:02But if we publish Aftermath, we enter the political unknown.
30:06What if he's not all right?
30:08I don't know, Ros.
30:10What's she doing?
30:12Janet, what are you playing at?
30:14What?
30:15Give that to me.
30:16What?
30:17Janet.
30:18This building has the highest level of security of any in the country.
30:21You're not going anywhere with that document.
30:23Aftermath is a wake-up call the world needs.
30:27We have a duty to publish it.
30:28You're not in a position to decide that.
30:30You're a servant of the state, as am I.
30:32I am also a woman of individual conscience.
30:34You think individual conscience is in charge down there on the barrier?
30:37You think Divine Earth give a damn about moral decency?
30:40Yes, that's why I told them, Harry.
30:42You realise what you've done?
30:43I had to know what was going on.
30:45I have spent five years walking a tightrope
30:48between doing my duty to my government and duty to my planet.
30:51And I have been lied to, misled and ignored.
30:54So you told Cash?
30:56Robert came to me after his daughter had died
30:58because he was concerned about government policy.
31:00Well, he was just who I needed.
31:02I thought that he would go to the papers.
31:05You have no idea what is going on.
31:08The world is living in a state of willful ignorance.
31:11The warning signs are right in front of our eyes
31:14and still we do nothing.
31:19There's maybe a way out of this.
31:24Professor, no one knows what you did
31:26and we can keep it that way if you help us.
31:28What do you want?
31:30I want you to help us convince Divine Earth we're publishing.
31:33You're the one person they'll believe.
31:35Janet, we understand why you did this, but this is out of control.
31:39You have to help us stop it.
31:41You can save people's lives.
31:46They have a website.
31:49That's how I communicate with Robert.
31:55I'm about to make the call to your colleagues.
31:58If you do this without my support,
32:00then all hope of any agreement goes with me.
32:03Maybe that's what you want.
32:05We all want the same thing.
32:07I don't think so.
32:09I think Robert's a decent man
32:11who just wants his daughter's death to mean something.
32:13Robert, he's a trained officer. Don't listen to him.
32:15He's trying to divide us.
32:17That's why you insisted that whatever happened,
32:19you'd never actually blow the barrier, didn't you?
32:21This has never been about blowing the barrier.
32:23It's been about ensuring Rachel didn't die in vain.
32:26We don't want to kill people.
32:28Now, listen to me. No-one's listening to me.
32:30Just listen to me. A 50-page document.
32:32It's not going to satisfy your friend.
32:34He suffers from severe mental imbalance.
32:37Absences, manic episodes.
32:39We cannot do deals with him.
32:42I need fully integrated website and news footage
32:45convincing enough to support Janet Wheeler's message.
32:47Got it.
32:49Harry, if Adam gives us the signal, how can we trust him?
32:52He's been lying to us.
32:54In his current state, Adam is likely to take unnecessarily high risks.
33:00How can you know for sure what's going on in there?
33:03I know because I've conducted hundreds of operations with Adam Carter.
33:05I know the way he works.
33:07So you know, for example,
33:09that Adam has seriously considered suicide in the last few weeks?
33:15We have a fully prepared alternative plan ready to go.
33:18Harry, you've got to understand.
33:21He's deliberately putting himself under immense pressure.
33:24He's daring himself to crack.
33:27Robert, just...
33:30Please, just walk out with me now.
33:32That's all you have to do, just walk out with me.
33:34Please believe me.
33:36We're never going to publish with this maniac in charge.
33:38Right, that's enough.
33:40I'm sorry, Craig.
33:42I can't take the risk.
33:45I can't take the risk.
33:51Can't you see what he's trying to do?
33:53Come on. Come on, Robert, let's go.
33:58Don't move.
34:03Harry, Adam's signal's gone green.
34:05Special forces are standing by on your order.
34:08Harry.
34:11Robert.
34:13Robert, I just want you to walk over there and pick up that phone.
34:16Call my colleagues. Tell them you're walking out with me.
34:19You pick up that phone. We'll shoot him.
34:28Robert, just pick up the phone. Pick up the phone.
34:31We're never going to do anything with this man in charge.
34:34Are you deaf?
34:36Craig.
34:39You wouldn't shoot me.
34:42I'm her father.
35:03I need to talk to you.
35:05No, I need to talk to you.
35:07We're publishing Aftermath.
35:10They're publishing.
35:15I have a timetable.
35:17A press release about the document will be sent to the Press Association in one hour.
35:21Also in one hour, the Deputy Prime Minister will speak to the House
35:25and the document will be published in full.
35:27We have a web connection.
35:29If we see the Aftermath document published on all major websites, we'll close the barrier.
35:33You'll see it.
35:36And one more thing.
35:38Get rid of this madman.
35:41Not a problem.
35:43We still need a guarantee of the safe transfer of the barrier into our hands.
35:47We'll find a suitable replacement.
35:49We'll be waiting for them.
35:51What's that?
35:53He's on his way to you now.
35:55Good luck.
36:22You're not well, Adam.
36:24Go home.
36:26Go home.
36:38I don't want you to die before you have me.
36:52The document will be published in 20 minutes.
36:56You can expect the political effects to be unprecedented.
37:07Encouraging this controversial document to be published.
37:10It's time.
37:12It's time.
37:14It's time.
37:16It's time.
37:19Encouraging this controversial document to be published.
37:22How are we doing?
37:23A few minutes more.
37:26Nearly there.
37:27We just need to paste the Deputy Prime Minister onto this website.
37:30We've redirected their internet connection to our server.
37:32What they see is what we want them to see.
37:35OK, it's done.
37:37I want to send a message to Robert Cash's website from Janet Wheeler.
37:43Sending now.
37:47Craig, it's from Janet.
37:49It's true.
37:50They've published.
37:52Check the rest of the web.
38:06In publishing this controversial document,
38:08my primary aim is to open debate.
38:10There will, of course, be a full public inquiry...
38:12Check another site.
38:13..as to why the British people weren't told the truth
38:15about Altamont before now.
38:17I shall personally be tendering my resignation.
38:19Craig, it's everywhere.
38:23So much for not negotiating with terrorists.
38:28They must have seen it by now.
38:39Harry, Adam hasn't come out and he's turned off his tracking device.
38:43What's he playing at?
38:49No! No!
38:51No! No!
38:53Keep Wazer safe.
38:55Promise me you will.
39:03Wazer's gone missing.
39:05Wazer's gone missing.
39:09Get off of me!
39:10Fiona, I'm sorry.
39:11Why did you leave me?
39:12Adam, you've got to get up.
39:14I'm sorry.
39:15Why wasn't it me?
39:16Daddy.
39:17Daddy, get up.
39:18Listen to me.
39:25They've given us what we asked for.
39:27There's something else we'd like to offer.
39:30If you walk off the barrier now and say there were never any explosives,
39:34you'll get off with a suspended sentence for disturbing peace
39:38and become heroes of your cause.
39:40Why do you want to do that?
39:42We avoid the British public knowing there were moments of catastrophe.
39:46We can all win.
39:48All you have to do is walk out the door.
39:53You've got what you came for, haven't you?
39:55This is what Rachel would have wanted, Craig.
39:58It's what we agreed.
40:00Come on, we've done it.
40:06I look at you and I see all those politicians who've lied to me.
40:10I see the United Nations, US Envoys.
40:17In East Africa, they lied about desert encroachment
40:20while whole villages died of starvation because their crops failed.
40:24Liars.
40:26Liars.
40:28Every single one.
40:31You're lying to me now.
40:33I'm not lying.
40:35You've seen the document.
40:37See, that's the thing.
40:40I just don't believe you.
40:42Please don't do this.
40:44You're just like Rachel. You have such faith in people, but they're lying.
40:47They're not lying.
40:48I'm afraid so.
40:49We've won, Craig.
40:50No, we haven't.
40:51It's been too easy.
40:52They never let you win.
40:54No.
40:55Craig, you can't do this.
41:00Say goodbye.
41:03We were always prepared to die for this.
41:11Yes?
41:12Tell them.
41:13Yes.
41:15Hello?
41:17Tell them.
41:21They're going to blow the barrier.
41:23They've told me to say goodbye.
41:25No.
41:26No, wait.
41:27They've cut the line.
41:29Can we storm?
41:30They'll see us coming.
41:31Pretend to mount a suicide.
41:33What if we evacuate now?
41:34We can instigate phase one.
41:36I can close the underground, get key figures out of the city.
41:38Phases two and three are no longer an option.
41:41Harry, they're closing the barrier.
41:43They close it now while the tide builds,
41:45then blow the hydraulics.
41:47The water will force the barrier to collapse.
41:51It'll create a tidal wave through London.
41:53It'll rip out the entire heart of the capital.
41:57Excuse me.
42:21How's this going to help Rachel?
42:23People just don't understand.
42:26You never had any intention to fill yourself up, did you?
42:30I'm sorry.
42:32People only ever learn from war and catastrophe.
42:41Has Adam signalled in yet?
42:42No, not yet.
42:43Right, think of anything we can do to get at these bastards.
42:45We've got just over an hour to high tide.
42:47Yes, hello.
42:48Yes, hello.
42:49Listen, there's a woman, possibly in a brown coat.
42:52She might be standing outside your cafe.
42:55Well, could you take a closer look?
42:58Well, just have a look, please.
43:00No, wait, wait, wait, don't hang up.
43:02Listen, she's my mother and I really need to speak to her.
43:05Hello?
43:06Hello?
43:07Shit.
43:08Where is she?
43:09I think one of her phone's broken.
43:10You have 20 minutes.
43:15Malcolm.
43:17I think I've got something.
43:27Mum!
43:29Mum!
43:30Mum!
43:31Oh, you're early!
43:32Thank God!
43:34Listen to me.
43:35Mum, you have to get out of here.
43:37Go straight to London Bridge and get a train south.
43:39Now, please.
43:40What's she talking about?
43:41Just listen to me.
43:42Now, just calm down and tell me what's wrong.
43:44Mum, I don't work for a newspaper.
43:46I work for MI5.
43:48Are you all right, Jill?
43:49I'm fine.
43:50I work in Sector D at Tim's house.
43:52I'm looking at you very calmly and I'm telling you that you have to go now.
43:56But what about you?
43:57I'll be fine.
44:00But I can't leave you.
44:01I have to go.
44:02I'll call you.
44:03I promise.
44:10We've closed the underground station, citing a security alert.
44:12The army have mobilised the trains and buses,
44:14but there are still hundreds of thousands of people out there in the danger zone.
44:17The water on the seaward side of the barrier is at record level.
44:21At 1700 hours an RAF Chinook will fly itself and the rest of COBRA to the Stanfield bunker,
44:26which will serve as an operations base until this crisis is over.
44:29Deputy Prime Minister, I think we can blow the chamber.
44:33By closing the barrier, Divine Earth have caused the water to rise on both sides.
44:37The build-up of river water on the upriver side
44:39means that the low-water maintenance tunnel is for the first time underwater.
44:43If we blow this from the outside, the chamber will immediately flood.
44:46The bomb will be rigged by a diver using a 40-pound waterproof explosive,
44:49taking out a sizeable section of the upriver wall.
44:51The barrier itself will remain unaffected.
44:53They wouldn't have time to detonate.
44:56Everyone in the chamber dies.
44:57Everyone.
44:58Including your own officers?
45:00Yes.
45:01Deputy Prime Minister, we need to evacuate you to save ground.
45:04We need a decision now.
45:07Do it.
45:19They have to. It's wrong. They have to.
45:21We can't do this.
45:23Don't do this, Craig.
45:25Please.
45:28I know how hungry you are.
45:30I know what you've seen.
45:32This isn't what you wanted.
45:35This isn't what Rachel would have wanted.
45:37Killing ordinary people.
45:39Look, I loved your daughter, but this has nothing to do with her.
45:41We did this in her name.
45:44To get Aftermath published. To raise awareness.
45:48You can't print a document to a sleeping man.
45:50Human race is sleepwalking to disaster.
45:53We have to be woken up.
45:54Exactly how does what you're about to do qualify as waking people up?
45:59You don't understand.
46:01You're killing people.
46:02Children.
46:04You could have evacuated. You didn't.
46:05You could have published. You didn't. Did you? Did you?
46:13When London floods, someone will ask why we did it.
46:18And the people will find the truth about Aftermath.
46:22What we're doing will change the world.
46:33No.
46:54Next time, trust me.
46:55Next time, don't lie to me.
46:59All communication lines have been cut. Come on.
47:02Detonation of upper river wall in 30 seconds.
47:32Aftermath.
47:42Adam! They can't have just left us here!
47:44They're nowhere down here! They're nowhere down here!
47:46Someone's got to leave us here!
47:47Someone will come! Someone will come!
47:51Help!
47:56I spotted!
48:02Somebody!
48:25Send in the divers.
48:27See if there are any survivors.
48:30Just do it.
48:33Harry, it was a 40-pound bomb.
48:54We dreamed it.
48:56We must dream together.
48:59That's brilliant.
49:00That's brilliant.
49:01I can't think of anything.
49:30I can't think of anything.
