00:00How are we doing?
00:01Nearly there.
00:03Was she not happy, then?
00:04I just wanted to feel safe.
00:07You think someone's going to come for you?
00:08Any of them can come for any of us.
00:10Security's in the mind, isn't it? You know that.
00:13Well, you wanted Fort Knox, you got it.
00:16What have you done to my front door?
00:18Ah, well, now you see, uh, reinforced steel.
00:22Works with a swipe card.
00:24State of the art. We'll not find this in Bannham any time soon.
00:27No key code. It's all in the strip.
00:30We'll keep a spare set in the lockers in case you lock yourself out.
00:32This. This is the business.
00:34Universal swipe, central locking, all doors and windows.
00:39Security glass.
00:41Think BMW in Joburg.
00:43Come inside a sec.
00:49Right, check it out.
00:51Windows, French doors, even the roof access.
00:54All fail-safe. All through this key.
00:58Hope this works with her, Tom.
01:00She's a great person.
01:01I know.
01:02How reliable is this strip?
01:04Ah, really.
01:07Sorry, mate.
01:10Watch this.
01:14I don't give you anything but the best.
01:16Hold your nose back.
01:18Oh, good.
01:19Should help.
01:20Should help.
01:21Should help.

01:35Look, take this.
01:40You front door key.

01:44Look, I know how you feel about living with me, about being safe and everything, so that's why I've changed things.
01:48Come back, please.
01:50Come back, please.
01:53You can't stay here.
01:55Go have a look.
01:57Please.
01:58How does it work?
02:05Well, it's just like a key on the outside.
02:07Swipe it through the slot.
02:09Light goes green, you're in.
02:10Coming out is the same.
02:11Swipe it like a credit card.
02:13Okay?
02:14Go and see, please.
02:15I'd rather you showed me.
02:19I will.
02:20I will.
02:20But.

02:23But.
02:25But I have a very important project on right now, so.
02:29What is it?
02:30Are you going to do some spying?
02:38Wait.
02:39Be careful.
02:40I will.

06:14suspect source not all of you have been need to know about as a beer for a good reason Tom as a beer
06:22there's an ultra extremist so finding out in Sudan it's a fragment from the Al-Qaeda fallout group's
06:27been yellow tagged tagging has been effective MPs foreign office most of Downing Street and the press
06:32do not know repeat do not know the group's existence no knowledge no leaks as a beer or some of bin Laden's
06:39most loyal followers they're specialists believed to be behind both US Embassy bombings in 2000 but
06:44as far as we know as a beer has shown no interest in planning in the action in the UK yet mostly India
06:50Indonesia all chip in the clocks against us I think this office real McCann wants to trade but trade
06:57what if there's any danger of an as a beer attack on the UK we have to act and act now so what do we
07:02do we do exactly what he's asked us to do we try and deal with him come on come on dynamics you
07:12dangerous oh is it why he's way ahead calling the shots it's our job to catch up I agree with Tessa
07:18well I agree with Zoe so we do nothing we do something we set up the meeting with McCann and
07:23we kill him oh this is grotesque no grotesque is taking the Kennedy's word Zoe you are out of your
07:28depth Harry he asked for an officer who knows the answer beer material if it concerns them it's
07:32going to be on the critical list whatever the hell it is this is not the truth it's their truth
07:36we have no way of verifying anything objectively precisely why I need to meet the man no not you yes
07:41me I know enough about as a beer to confirm his intentions no one else can I want a collective
07:46decision we have to be at one on this I say we burn him McCann's an old dog you won't get near

08:21I just hope you know what kind of a bastard we're dealing with
08:28so we are just going to work with that this is what we can do so that we just
08:33listen to it and then we'll see how we deal with it in the process of getting
08:36why we're dealing with the latest possible um you waved to get to him so be it
08:38tonight I'm going to watch Tessa and see what you think about it and then we'll see
08:41how we can do it and we'll see you next time we're doing but to be everything
08:43so we'll see you next time we can do the first time we'll see how we can do
09:50Anyone seen this would think we're in some fecky farmer's porn video.
09:53You picked the spot, not me. Let's walk.
09:56Let's not.
09:56I guess this wasn't easy for you, Mr. Crockett.
10:02I had to pull a few strings, I bet.
10:04I know I certainly did.
10:07Something like that.
10:08The secrecy's for my benefit as well, you know.
10:11It was people who'd fry me balls and batter if they knew what I was doing.
10:14Suddenly grown a conscience, have we?
10:16It's the same for us, you know.
10:18I don't like breeding the same air as you either.
10:22You follow?
10:25Asabir.
10:26We've had a minor corporate cash flow problem, thanks to certain recent events.
10:33So we've been freelancing.
10:36Bit of management consultancy.
10:38A few hard lads down in Colombia.
10:41The odd mercenary in Somalia.
10:42And then we got a call from a couple of hard nuts in the Sudan.
10:48Needed a swift how-to on some anti-tank weaponry they just acquired.
10:51Oh, state-of-the-art, the dog's bollocks.
10:53So we sent a couple of our lads over, but we weren't taking any chances.
10:57So we had them checked out.
11:00Those boys would kill you as quick as luck at you.
11:02Nothing new to speak of.
11:04Till last week.
11:06Another check.
11:07And suddenly there's this very detailed aerial schematic of a large-scale Brit facility.
11:17A power station.
11:19A nuclear power station.
11:22Sefton B.
11:25They do what I think they're going to do in most of Ireland's uninhabitable for the next 200 years.
11:29Not to mention everything north of Bristol.
11:32Not that we'd miss Wales.
11:34Oh, don't look at me like that.
11:35This is a holy war.
11:37These boys are serious.
11:39And when a man with my experience tells you that, you should listen.
11:43You scared the shite out of me.
11:45You could disincentivize them.
11:48Kill them, you mean?
11:50Sadly, my branch chief had other ideas.
11:52Wanted his money up front.
11:54But by the time he realized he was an idiot, they were already on their way.
11:58And so I had to come crying to you.
12:00For help.
12:01You do what I ask, and you'll get it all.
12:05Names, roots, dates.
12:06Everything we've got.
12:07We've got access.
12:09We've got trust.
12:11Jesus, Mr. Crockett.
12:12I'm your man in the Sudan.
12:14When did they leave?
12:17They're already here.
12:20How much money do you want?
12:21Money is not our only concern.
12:24What do you want?
12:26Today's Tuesday.
12:28I want a blind eye kept till sunrise Thursday.
12:30We're doing a bit of business here, and we'd rather you kept your noses out of it.
12:36No police.
12:37No special branch.
12:38No uniforms.
12:39But only 30 hours.
12:41Special often.
12:41You expect us to turn our backs while you commit a terrorist outrage?
12:44We're not planning a terrorist outrage.
12:47All right.
12:48You're forgetting it's our country on the line here, too.
12:54New sim card.
12:55Call the number in the address book between 1651 and 1700 tonight.
12:59Nine minutes only.
13:01Then I dump the phone.
13:02Why the rush?
13:03Why'd you think?
13:04You mean it's soon.
13:05I mean, you better get back in your car.
13:08We have a deal.
13:11Bit unfair, really.
13:14You know my name, and I know yours ain't Davey Bloody Crocker.
13:17Call me Dave.
13:24How many times do I have to tell you this is contaminated truth?
13:28It's a hook.
13:29And if we turn a blind eye to the activities of McCann's group for the next 30 hours, do you know what we would be doing?
13:35We would be trading a certain attack by a splinter Republican cell for some fantasy about Sefton B.
13:40I disagree.
13:41Why?
13:41Stakes are too high.
13:42A known distant IRA commander coming on his own to a safe house, follows up with a meeting, keeping to his word about backup, keeping to his word about time and place.
13:51Tom, we both know that the word of the IRA, whatever faction, is as permanent as a fart in a wind machine.
13:57We have no choice.
13:58Tessa's right.
14:00We have to deal, and we have just under four hours to agree.
14:02We have a potential moral horror here, and I do not like moral horrors.
14:06I prefer facts.
14:07Danny, Zoe, how vulnerable is Sefton B?
14:10And just what kind of anti-tank weapon could Asabia have gotten hold of?
14:13Right.
14:14Right.
14:15Meanwhile, we do have one ace in the hole.
14:17I've been less than honest with you, Tom.
14:19When you met McCann, you did have backup.
14:21It worked rather well, you must admit.
14:23They followed you and then followed him, all the way to his hideaway.
14:28Thanks to you, we now have a major dissident IRA commander under surveillance.
14:33He's over here on his evil business.
14:35He must be stopped.
14:36That's exactly what's going to happen.
14:38There will be no deals with Patrick McCann.
14:45Zoe, call.
14:49Hi.
14:50I'm almost there.
14:51Listen, I need you to get me an urgent appointment with the DG, but cover for me for an hour, right?
14:56Now, you and Danny do exactly as Harry told you.
14:58Find out about that weapon.
15:02May, I've been to Sefton B.
15:03That place is well hard.
15:05Four working reactors, two reprocessing plants, Britain's main plutonium stockpile.
15:09They've not just got a sign outside saying, beware of the sheep, you know.
15:12I mean, it's pro-tective.
15:14Here, it's not the main site I'm worried about.
15:16Area D421.
15:17It houses about 20 tanks containing liquid, high-level radioactive waste.
15:22A breach in one of those tanks would release a cloud 45 times as deadly as Chernobyl.
15:26Yeah, I know what you mean.
15:27They've got concrete coming out of their arses, three metres thick.
15:30I mean, you can't do anything except from the air, and the RAF has that covered these days.
15:33Well, normally half these tanks are empty, but there's been a glut of increased capacity this year, and now the standby tanks are almost all full.
15:40Two of the intermediate-level tanks have the thinnest concrete containment of the loft.
15:43It's about a metre or so.
15:44So, not surprisingly, they're being refurbished.
15:47In particular, their roof.
15:48To hit the roof, you'd need something that could fly up and then strike straight down.
15:53Most mobile anti-tank units fire direct.
15:56They do not have a top attack mode.
15:59So, some do, then.
16:02Mr. Quinn.
16:03The DG has asked me to say that it's best he doesn't see you.
16:06This is a matter of natural security.
16:08Please.
16:09Let me finish.
16:10Best he doesn't actually see you.
16:14However, at the moment, there is a window.
16:17Will you follow me?
16:17I'll just take your blood pressure.
16:25There'll be a little discomfort.
16:27Yes, Doctor.
16:29We'll get on with it.
16:30I haven't got all day.
16:37So, you're here to complain about your superior in the service?
16:42Yes.
16:43I never thought I'd have to talk about Harry in this way.
16:45Why not?
16:45If he's going do-lally, then he's must.
16:48Please, sir.
16:49This is difficult for me.
16:50Please don't emote.
16:52You're here to gripes of spit.
16:53No, I'm not here to gripes of spit.
16:54It's never my policy to listen to gripes.
16:56That's why this meeting is not taking place.
16:59Open wide and say, ah.
17:02You believe the Irishman?
17:05Yes.
17:06Why?
17:07Three reasons.
17:09The personal risk he's taken by him talking to us.
17:13Credibility of his story and the seriousness of what is at stake.
17:16So, if we give them 30 hours clear of surveillance, what do you think they'll do during that time?
17:21I think they'll keep to their word.
17:22No, that is what you want to happen.
17:24But as the old KGB used to say, hope for the best, expect the worst.
17:28Hence, I ask, what is your worst fear in this scenario?
17:33They launch an attack on the mainland.
17:35In which case, we prevent a greater outrage of possibility by allowing a lesser, a certainty.
17:42Yes.
17:43A moral twister.
17:44Terrible thing to decide.
17:45The art of dealing with your enemy is a fine thing.
17:48Do you enjoy such decisions?
17:54No.
17:55Romance, sir.
17:56If you don't, you've no business in the service.
17:59I'm going to overrule Harry on this occasion.
18:01Go ahead.
18:02Call Rosie when it's done, and I'll deal with Harry for you.
18:06Thank you, sir.
18:07And now it's finger up my prostate time, so I would be grateful if you could leave.
18:11Sir.
18:15Work phone.
18:16We put McCann's SIM card in here.
18:18All teed up.
18:19Okay, how long do we have?
18:21Four minutes to cut off.
18:22Okay.
18:23Stay close.
18:25Recording.
18:27Davy Crocker, I presume.
18:29King of the Wild Frontier.
18:30Cutting her fine, aren't you?
18:32I'm going to give you a number.
18:33Mobile number.
18:34This is my number.
18:35Zero, seven, seven, zero, zero, nine hundred, zero, zero, two.
18:40Confirm that.
18:41Zero, seven, seven, zero, zero, nine hundred, zero, zero, two.
18:45No contact with Sunrise sources.
18:48When he'll give us the information on Sefton B.
18:51What do you say?
18:52He says.
18:53I believe it.
19:02Hello?
19:03It's done.
19:08Brace for impact.
19:20Come away!
19:21You went over my head to the DG.
19:29I took a decision.
19:30The wrong one.
19:32GCHQ have just picked up a pay-as-you-go mobile keyword.
19:36Irish Splinter Group plans to hit Broad Street Railway Station tomorrow morning.
19:40Rush hour.
19:40A bomb.
19:41M.O.D. Flash.
19:43Five pounds of Semtex gone walk east from an armed shipment in Newcastle.
19:46M.O.'s got Patrick McCann's group written all over it.
19:48And this is the man in whom you've put your trust.
19:52You went over my head.
19:53Now I'm going over yours.
19:54No more deals.
19:55We are going to stop that bomb.
19:57Smooth bureaucracy away from now on.
20:01Total communication.
20:03We group hug this one or we all fall down.
20:06I told you, Davey, no contact.
20:08There hasn't been.
20:08So why'd you put a sale on me, eh?
20:10Took me a bloody hour to check them.
20:13I didn't want it.
20:15Sadly, my branch chief had other ideas.
20:18Problems upstairs, Davey?
20:20You said no acts of terror.
20:22You're planning to hit Broad Street Station.
20:27Keep to the agreement.
20:28You said no acts of terror.
20:30We're at war with Britain.
20:32There's no such thing as terrorism in wartime.
20:34We're striking back, Mr. Crocker.
20:35Right at your throat.
20:36We've had enough awards.
20:37We're back in business in a big way.
20:39No warning.
20:40The rules have changed, Davey.
20:42The gloves are off.
20:44Try and stop our operation.
20:46The deal is dead.
20:47I've done the consequences for all of us.
20:49I know you think your boss is a little emotional over Irish matters.
20:57Well, I am.
20:59And for the good of this team, I'd like to explain why.
21:02I was in Ireland in 1978.
21:04My best friend was a man named Bill Crombie.
21:07One day we found ourselves in a rebel pub looking for an IRA brigade commander.
21:12Terrible mistake.
21:14I left.
21:16He stayed.
21:17Rivado.
21:18They shoved him in the boot of a car.
21:20I could do nothing.
21:21I had no field telephone, no weapon.
21:24They dumped his body two weeks later.
21:26Very hard to identify a body, most of which has been burnt away with a blowtorch.
21:32The brigade commander's name was Patrick McCann.
21:35This has informed my judgment on this matter.
21:38I trust you'll all understand.
21:40Yes.
21:42Yes, Harry.
21:44Absolutely, Harry.
21:48Yes.
22:00Their side we know.
22:02They will blow up one of the busiest stations in London unless we stop them.
22:06We can't.
22:07They haven't given us enough detail about the Sefton Bee attack.
22:09If we stop them, they withdraw everything.
22:11First, principles.
22:12If we do not stop the bomb, it will explode.
22:15Yeah, but we've been in this situation before.
22:17A valued source tips us off about a bomb.
22:19Stopping that bomb compromises the source.
22:22Letting it explode could help stop at least 20 others.
22:26It's a balanced sheet of risk.
22:27Lesser evil stops greater evil every single time.
22:30You think this?
22:30Yes.
22:31Even when the greater evil exists only as a fiction?
22:34It's a chance we have to take.
22:35Not on my watch.
22:36We move.
22:37This bomb does not go off.
22:39If Sefton Bee's going to happen, we have to stop it.
22:42Even if there's a remotest chance, we've got to.
22:44We're going to.
22:46Zoe, every hour, you're going to rewrite special ops on how we are supposedly stopping McCann and
22:51his bomb for Harry's eyes.
22:54What? Fiction for Harry?
22:55Harry must think we're stopping the Broad Street bomb for real.
22:58Look at old ops cables for strategy if you like.
23:00Just make it watertight.
23:01Harry is not an easy man to lie to.
23:03No, I can imagine.
23:04Danny, the weapon Asabi are going to use.
23:06We need to know what it is.
23:07Make, model, serial number.
23:08I've been screaming at the M.I.D., but you know what snubby bastards they are over there.
23:12Then scream louder, pull files on their Ys, but get the info.
23:15We have to know what weapon they're going to use in detail.
23:18Are we running an M.I.5 inside M.I.5 here?
23:20Two projects in tandem.
23:21The real one and the decoy.
23:23Decoy goes to Harry.
23:24Reality stays here.
23:25Now, this is the D.G.'s mandate.
23:26We have his blessing.
23:27No one here likes this one bit, so let's get it over as quick as we can, okay?
23:31Anything, anything at all, call my mobile.
23:34Mention the word bureaucracy.
23:35I'll know Harry's in the earshot, but keep the info coming.
23:37Yeah, but if we stop the blast, McCann's going to cut us off.
23:39We're not going to stop the blast.
23:40We're going to smother it.
23:42No overt action.
23:43Accidentally, on purpose, a thing hurts no one.
23:44It can be done.
23:45We've all seen it done before, and it's what's going to happen here.
23:47McCann's never going to believe that.
23:48I don't need him to believe it.
23:49I just need enough doubt in the equation for a bare-faced denial.
23:53We're giving him the craters, not the corpses.
23:56Get busy.
23:58I need a roof collapse at Broad Street Station.
24:00Think Heathrow tunnels in 94.
24:02Exactly, there you go.
24:03On our signal, all incoming trains diverge to London Bridge or stop at Clapton Junction.
24:07The roof will have gone at Broad Street Station.
24:09But never you mind how I know.
24:10It's 60s architecture.
24:12Of course it's fallen down.
24:13Look, you know the drill.
24:15Toppaulin on the ceiling, a load of cladding on the concourse, electric screen.
24:17Tubes must stop.
24:20Customer action has to look and sound perfect.
24:22This is a national security issue, I'm afraid.
24:24If you haven't signed the Official Secrets Act, you're going to in about five minutes.
24:28Five minutes.
24:28By Curio and Special Ops.
24:30Thanks.
24:34Okay.
24:35Double up the watches at the station.
24:37I've just spoken to security and I expect them to use the access convict under the platform like they talked about in 96.
24:41As soon as they leave the package, they'll let us know what time it's set for.
24:45So let's start clearing the place.
24:52Broad's line trains for Greta announced that all trains have been rebooted to London Bridge Station.
24:58Infrastructure's fine.
24:59Pedestrian route's fine.
25:00Station roads closed.
25:05Well, apart from pure pressure granglings.
25:07Absolutely.
25:11Lady stops?
25:13Yep.
25:13Zoe.
25:20For the record, I hate this as much as you do.
25:22Is that the real record, is it?
25:26Yep.
25:26Device is set for 7.30.
25:28Shall we lock it down?
25:29Yes.
25:30Confirmed.
25:34So far, so good.
25:37Sorry, sir, you have to go then.
26:07Yes.
26:12Funny.
26:12That's just come in from the MOD.
26:15Thanks.
26:19Structural damage.
26:21No casualties.
26:24We're in the clear.
26:28Tom?
26:29Hmm.
26:29That anti-tank weapon.
26:34It's a Shimatau missile.
26:36A batch of six was stolen back in the mid-90s.
26:39Oh.
26:40That's why the MOD was so clammed up.
26:42But I had to tell them.
26:43When I said the magic word, Sefton B, barrels opened.
26:47The Shimatau.
26:48I fired one of these up in Scotland.
26:49This is not good.
26:50We were thinking, glorious.
26:51This thing could be handled.
26:53Operated by two people.
26:54My hourly report tells me the bomb has not been placed, yet the station is in pieces.
27:01Somebody speak?
27:04Right.
27:06You lot.
27:08Meeting room.
27:10Now!
27:10Now!
27:19My department faked a cover-up.
27:22Your department.
27:24You were fed false reports.
27:25And it's not in pieces.
27:27Part of it's faked.
27:28The rest was their work.
27:29Only damaged one side of the concourse.
27:33Who was aware of this?
27:39Harry, I'm sorry.
27:42I saw a mushroom cloud over the bloody country.
27:44I didn't...
27:45You always taught me to keep personal issues away from judgment.
27:51You didn't.
27:52I'm sorry.
27:54The attack on Sefton B is looking real.
27:56We even know the weapon they're going to use.
27:59Shall we brief you?
28:00Shall we brief you?
28:00Oh, well.
28:12Needs must.
28:13I did a similar thing myself once to the DG.
28:19No corpses.
28:21You were lucky.
28:23What weapon?
28:24What weapon?
28:25What?
28:27Oh, oh.
28:31Right.
28:31The Shemitah was actually a prototype built for the...
28:35Did you say Shemitah?
28:36Hmm.
28:38Built for the LFAT GWS program.
28:41A horrible...
28:41Light forces anti-tank guided weapon system.
28:45Well, go on.
28:46It's a variation on the Milan, or the Javelin.
28:49With two parts.
28:50The command launch unit and the round itself.
28:52It's light enough to be carried by two people.
28:54Range is just under 1.9 kilometers.
28:57This was filmed in Kosovo.
28:59Two warheads, correct?
29:00One to breach the reactive armor,
29:02and the main warhead to pulverize the base armor.
29:04In this case, the concrete with the steel tank inside.
29:07How did they find out about D-421?
29:09It's an Irish government-funded website.
29:11The monitor building at the plant.
29:12It's understandable.
29:13It's open source.
29:14Just so happens their independent analysis is accurate,
29:16as is their timing.
29:17A Sabir might also have someone on the inside.
29:19We can't be sure till we re-vet the whole plant,
29:21and we're only halfway through.
29:23This concrete's heavily reinforced.
29:24It's designed to maintain integrity, even under blast.
29:27We can't be sure the reinforcement's not corroded.
29:29They are by the sea, after all.
29:30I feel sick.
29:32Can't we shut it down?
29:32No, you can't shut down nuclear waste.
29:34How do they intend to deliver the ordnance?
29:36Land, sea, air.
29:37We don't know.
29:37Come in from anywhere.
29:38That's where Patrick's information will come in.
29:40If it comes in.
29:42Presumably, even McCann wouldn't screw us on the timing.
29:45Which means tomorrow, sunrise, the clock starts ticking,
29:49and only he knows when the alarm's been set for.
29:52In the meantime, we need a buffer zone.
29:53Two clicks should do it.
29:54Cleanse the area.
29:55Set up a scare.
29:56Lean heavily on every single known extremist sympathizer
30:00on the critical list within 100 miles.
30:02Presumably, we've touched up every agent in the Northwest.
30:05Didn't you mention something about a potential source in Bradford?
30:07Well placed, but sympathy's unstable.
30:10Don't care.
30:11No doubt you know his buttons.
30:12Push them.
30:12Money.
30:13How large?
30:14Large.
30:15Throw it.
30:16Gloves are off.
30:16Oh, and call the anti-terrorism committee.
30:18Ask them to put the PM on standby.
30:21You'll forgive me if I don't hug you all.
30:23We'll get onto the newsroom.
30:24I know this might have been a good time.
30:28Office.
30:30Tessa has been running agents that do not exist.
30:34Yes.
30:35How long have you known this?
30:38For, um...
30:39I was too frightened to tell.
30:47But you are telling.
30:50She gave me money.
30:53But it's in a safe place.
30:55I'm sure it is.
30:57How much?
30:58£10,000.
31:04It's just that, uh...
31:07In the current situation,
31:09anything that she brings to the table from her agents...
31:12Well...
31:13We can't know if it's the truth.
31:15You're at the frontier of this job, Zoe.
31:18Because of what we are,
31:19we have to watch each other.
31:21Painful, though that can sometimes be.
31:24Now, leave this office.
31:26Go straight over to Tessa and chat.
31:27All bright and shiny.
31:31Chat about what?
31:32Oh, me losing it.
31:35You've done very well.
31:37Now get yourself together.
31:57You're here.
32:11Didn't you believe me?
32:17Didn't want to believe it till I saw it.
32:20You look terrible.
32:21It's because I'm a terrible man.
32:24No, you're not.
32:26Really.
32:26We are just getting reports of an isolated outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease
32:34on a farm in Holywell,
32:35very close to the nuclear power facility Sefton B.
32:38If confirmed,
32:39this would be a devastating blow to the farming community.
32:42The spokesman says the situation will be closely monitored before...
32:46I'm a hero.
32:47I pray for an animal that died in my way.
32:49I am just with my parents.
32:50I can only believe it,
32:51I may not die.
32:51I can also do nothing,
32:52I can be friends with myself.
32:53I can't believe it.
32:54I can't believe it.
32:55I can't believe it.
32:56I can never be a fan.
32:57I can't believe it.
32:58So, we agreed.
33:19It's available.
33:28So, we're going to get out of here, and we're going to get out of here, and we're going to get out of here.
33:58Come on.
34:03Get him up.
34:05Come on.
34:06Get him in there.
34:07Get him down.
34:08Get him down.
34:09You messed up our operation.
34:12I don't know what you're talking about.
34:17Set him down there.
34:21You've got balls, Davy Trott.
34:23You know that?
34:24I'm not going to shoot you.
34:25I'm just keeping our end of the bargain.
34:27It's lucky for you both our countries are at risk.
34:30Give it to him.
34:33Untie his hands.
34:36All the information you need about the attack is there on the hard drive.
34:39The hidden camera record of a meeting that we had with the bastards.
34:42Head shots, scanned shots, that map of the area, the whole shebang.
34:47This is one patriot to another.
34:50Right.
34:51Now we must move.
34:52Come on.
34:54We could be friends in another life.
35:09We'll just have to wait till then.
35:11Come on.
35:12Come on.
35:14Come on.
35:15Come on, come on, come on, come on.
35:45Danny, got it. It's the day. It's all here. Mailing it to you now.
35:51The Cannes group found these recce shots at three different angles on Sefton B, all with D421 in clear shot.
35:59Understood. The boundary's secure. They're flushing out civvies from inside the buffer zone as quickly as they can.
36:04Face matching from the laptop IDs, check out. CCTV at a local outward bound centre. Pick them up.
36:10They're there. They're actually there.
36:15From the recce shots and the dead ground map, there's three possible locations for optimum firing.
36:26We need three teams to watch for movement and move in quick when they find it.
36:34Delta 1, Charlie 6. Watch your sit rep. Over.
36:38Charlie 6, Delta 1. Moving to right. Scanning area for target.
36:42Say again. Over.
36:44Area screening axis farm gate. Three o'clock, 500 metres, Charlie 6.
36:50Roger Delta 1.
36:53Delta 2, Charlie 6. Engagement is green. Repeat. Engagement is green. Over.
36:58notification is green.
37:14weiter.
37:23Get this area secure. I nearly shot a bloody farmer.
37:32Charlie 6 Delta 3, enemy located. Request ROE. Over.
37:37Delta 3 Charlie 6, ROE is green. Over.
37:41Charlie 6 Delta 3, ROE confirmed. Engaging.
37:53Yes.
38:03Hey, Danny. Talk to me.
38:06Targets have been disincentivised, Tom. It's over. Go home.
38:11You earned it.
38:14My place.
38:23Hello? Anybody home? Tom?
38:49Your presents for me.
38:51Hello.
38:51From the shops.
38:52We're going to make Melty Moments.
38:54Oh, you know.
38:55Why are you doing that?
38:56I took enough to do enough.
38:58Because I can.
38:59Be surprised.
39:00Yeah, you could say that.
39:01They're going to be covered in chocolate.
39:02What have you done to your head?
39:03Oh, nothing. Fight with the car door.
39:05I'm going to have a shower.
39:06But before then, I need to know the exact secret ingredients of the Melty Moments.
39:18I know.
39:19Know what?
39:20Know what?
39:24You are a brilliant woman.
39:29If you wanted to get into treachery, couldn't it be something ideological?
39:33Something grand.
39:36But to invent bogus agents and pocket their pales.
39:41They could, um, retire.
39:46Have unfortunate deaths.
39:48I know the service's traditional approach to wrongdoers is to smother them with kindness.
39:57But I'm going to throw you to the wolves.
40:00You mean you only forgive sins if they're large?
40:13Perhaps.
40:15And that's how you forgave yourself for cowardice in Ireland.
40:20What are you talking about?
40:22Bill Crombie.
40:23In 1978.
40:24You saw him die.
40:26You did nothing.
40:28Despite the pistol in your hand.
40:30Not that you ever mention that you had a gun, of course.
40:34Until you...
40:35Let's just say that it would be better for you if I were to stay here.
40:44Fair enough.
40:57Look at those.
40:59These are scrumptious.
41:00Look at those.
41:01Oh, no.
41:03Pop these in.
41:12It's for you.
41:13Thank you very much, chocolate please.
41:15Ah, thank you.
41:16Chocolate phone.
41:18Oh, Tom.
41:20Oh, I'll take it outside.
41:23Let me do it!
41:31Hello?
41:34Hello?
41:37Hello?
41:43Davey, it wasn't me, all right?
41:47What?
41:48Look, it wasn't...
41:49It was a Patrick.
41:49What was it?
41:51It was the other lads.
41:52They found out.
41:53My brand's cheap.
41:55Onion.
41:56Now you're breaking up.
41:57The laptop's rigged.
41:58The bastards put a slab of C4 in it.
42:02Repeat that.
42:03The laptop has six ounces of explosive in it.
42:06That's enough to take out half my street.
42:08Oh, please.
42:10Yeah, I'm at home.
42:10Oh, sorry.
42:11They thought you'd take it into work.
42:13Is it a timer?
42:14Aye, it's a timer.
42:16Near the motherboard on the left-hand side.
42:17You stay on the line.
42:18No, I can't.
42:19You stay on the line.
42:20I've got to go.
42:22Patrick!
42:25Patrick!
42:26Hello?
42:30Ellie!
42:31Jesus, what?
42:33Open the door.
42:34Naisy sweetheart, where's...
42:35Oh, look.
42:36What have you done, you messy pup?
42:38Okay.
42:48Come on.
42:49Bloody key.
42:50It won't work.
42:51The key's not...
42:52Try it slowly.
42:56Still red, Tom.
42:57Okay, go to my jacket.
42:59My key's in the left-hand pocket.
43:01That should do it.
43:02Hurry.
43:02Quickly.
43:15Hello?
43:15Hi, it's gas leak.
43:16What?
43:17Let's get everyone out of the house.
43:18Gas leak.
43:19Still red, Tom.
43:26Okay, pass it here.
43:27Pass it out of the letterbox.
43:29Yep.
43:35Is there anything in the lock?
43:37Can you see?
43:39Um...
43:39Oh, there's...
43:41I made it sticky.
43:41I'm not...
43:42I'm not sure.
43:43Ellie, listen to me.
43:44Get out of the house now.
43:46Why?
43:47Just do as I say.
43:51Hey, now, what's going on here?
43:52There's a gas leak.
43:53There's a gas leak.
43:54Get away from the area.
43:55Sorry.
43:56I am telling you, I am a manager from a gas company.
43:58I'm ordering you to leave the area now.
44:00Moderate.
44:06Tom!
44:07Tom!
44:08We can't get out.
44:08Everything is locked.
44:09What the hell is going on?
44:11Try the attic so you can go to the roof.
44:12Come on.
44:18Ellie, come on!
44:19Is there a problem here at all?
44:21I'm security service.
44:22There's a bomb in my house.
44:23What if I've met today, mate?
44:25My ID's inside.
44:26I'm locked out.
44:27Ring the bloody number.
44:28What number would that be, sir?
44:3279460001.
44:33Ellie!
44:33Come on!
44:3979460001.
44:40Right.
44:41And get him out, too.
44:43Right.
44:43Oi!
44:44Battering ram.
44:45Torchers.
44:45Get a drill team out here.
44:46Now!
44:47Ellie.
44:48Ellie.
44:50It's all blocked off.
44:51It's sealed.
44:52Oh, we did that.
44:53Shit.
44:54Look, I'm not going to do a single thing till you tell me what is going on.
44:56Listen to me.
44:57There's a bomb in the computer that I brought home.
45:00Did you hear me?
45:02Did you hear what I said, Ellie?
45:03Do you understand what I'm saying?
45:04Do you understand what I'm saying?
45:05I heard you.
45:06No, I've locked the computer in the filing cabinet in my office.
45:09Listen to me carefully.
45:10Go to my jacket.
45:11And my jacket pocket and my car keys.
45:13There's a red key on there.
45:15Get the red key.
45:16Go upstairs to the office.
45:17It's the bottom right-hand drawer of my filing cabinet in my office.
45:20I said too much.
45:21There's a box in the bottom right...
45:22I said too much.
45:24Call me.
45:24OK, I'm calling you now.
45:25I'm calling you now.
45:30Is it my fault, Mummy?
45:34In the bottom drawer.
45:35It's my fault.
45:44Hello?
45:44Zoe, get me, Danny.
45:46Stop.
45:48Hey.
45:48Danny, Patrick's rigged the laptop.
45:51It's packed with C4.
45:52It's a notebook.
45:54It's a year old.
45:54C4's on a timer near the motherboard.
45:56The internal clock is on a battery.
45:58If they've set it up on that, you can take the battery out and you're fine.
46:02What?
46:02Hold on.
46:03Great, great.
46:04Oh, on the other hand, taking the battery out could break the connection and risk setting it off anyway.
46:08Is that on what?
46:08Hold on.
46:09As could any jar movement.
46:11Hey, be careful with it.
46:24Keep it flat, no sudden movements.
46:26No, you're Tom.
46:36Tom?
46:38Tom?
46:40Tom?
46:40Maisie, listen, darling, we're going to play a game, OK?
46:43I want you to do something for me.
46:44Picky in the middle.
46:45No, let's play hide and seek.
46:46Yeah.
46:47What I want you to do is go to the cupboard under the stairs and get inside and find all
46:51the old blankets and clothes, all the other coats you can find and wrap yourself up and
46:55then lie down, curl down on the floor like a little hedgehog, OK?
46:58Why?
46:59Because I'm telling you to.
47:00But if you tell me where to hide, you'll know where to find me.
47:03But Mummy's going to try and find you.
47:05OK.
47:06OK?
47:06Go on.
47:10Ellie.
47:11Ellie.
47:12Ellie.
47:13I'm here.
47:14OK.
47:15Danny's on the line.
47:16He's going to talk you through it, OK?
47:17Ellie, just do everything I say and we'll be all right.
47:19Gently.
47:20Put it down gently, sweetheart.
47:21The bomb's on a timer, so it should be safe to open it.
47:24We need to get to the motherboard.
47:26Gently and slowly, OK?
47:28Shall I turn it on?
47:29No.
47:30No.
47:31Just do exactly what he tells you.
47:33You should be able to just lift the keyboard.
47:39There should be insulation under there.
47:43Lift it up.
47:44There's a metal plate or something.
47:45That's it.
47:46That's it.
47:47You should be able to just lift the keyboard.
47:49There should be insulation under there.
47:51Lift it up.
47:52There's a metal plate or something.
47:53That's it.
47:54Lift that, too.
47:55Hey.
47:56What is it?
47:57What?
47:58There's no bomb.
48:00No bomb?
48:01That's…
48:02It's…
48:03…that's…
48:04…that's…
48:05…that's…
48:18…that's…
48:19…that's…
48:20…that's…
48:21But it's fine.
48:23Ellie, how do you know?
48:24Look, I know a little about computers.
48:27There's a hard drive, memory chips, motherboard, clock.
48:30It's all there.
48:32There's no wires, Tom.
48:34No wires at all.
48:35Just a little LCD clock, tiny little thing.
48:38There's no clock on the motherboard.
48:40Ellie, where's the clock?
48:41Right beside the motherboard.
48:42What does the clock say?
48:44It's just a clock with the time.
48:46It says 1.15.
48:4914.
48:5213.
48:5412.
48:55It's going backwards, Tom.
48:59Tom, it's going backwards.
49:13They're going to bust the door down.
49:14Step back.
49:15Come on.
49:18Do not touch that clock yet.
49:20We're working on it.
49:21Let me move it away.
49:22Do not touch it.
49:23Stand back.
49:23Christ, what's this thing made from?
49:25That's reinforced steel.
49:26Where's the cutters?
49:27Where's the torch?
49:28Through the window bars.
49:29Go.
49:30Actually, next door.
49:31Do you got a team next door?
49:32Two next door now.
49:34Okay, Zoe's come through with something.
49:36It's 1.46.
49:37It's 1.46.
49:37Stop counting.
49:3845 seconds.
49:39We've got to clear the area.
49:40No.
49:40Danny, if that's C4, we have to clear the area.
49:44The clock might have a separate battery to the computer.
49:47If that's true, she can disconnect it.
49:49Ellie.
49:50Ellie, can you see a screw anywhere on the clock?
49:52It's a separate LCD.
49:53It's a separate LCD.
49:53It's going to come out of the cover.
49:54It's a screw.
49:55There's got to be a screw there somewhere.
49:58We're clearing.
49:59No.
49:59Let's go.
50:00Let's go.
50:00Ellie, a screw.
50:01What screw?
50:02I can't see.
50:03It's a screw.
50:04Listen to me, sir.
50:05This goes off with all these men here.
50:06That's 20 dead.
50:07Pulling back.
50:08It's two.
50:08We're pulling back.
50:09Less of the two evils.
50:10Your choice, sir.
50:11We've got to move.
50:12Pull back, Mr. Maiters, everyone.
50:14Ellie, I love you.
50:18There's got to be a screw.
50:20There's got to be a screw on the clock.
50:22Oh, my God.
50:23There's got to be a screw on the clock.
50:25Oh, no.
50:28Why haven't you come to find me?
50:50There's got to be a screw on the van.
51:17You
