00:00You are looking at the next PF.
00:02I'm not getting any help this time, Rachel. Not like that.
00:06Parliament is on lockdown this afternoon following reports of an armed attack in Westminster.
00:12Widen the search area. Suspect may have fled the QE2.
00:15No choice of the suspect.
00:16So he has escaped the building, you agree?
00:18Pearson's story, Mum.
00:19Lunch in Cold Rock's yard?
00:21Let me guess. You pulled CCTV of Cold Rock's yard and he was right there?
00:25He was, Mum.
00:27Simon, does that name mean anything to you?
00:30Simon tells me what I need to know and nothing more.
00:32Whoever Simon is, he is not your friend.
00:34Whitlock's rifle, what's the calibre?
00:36How was I going to open fire with no ammunition?
00:38No rings came in with the weapon, sir.
00:40That's impossible. Check the locks.
00:42And you can't prove that I was in Westminster any more than I can prove I wasn't.
00:48Who do you work for?
00:49Standby for executive action. I'm Blackfish.
00:51The activation's standing by. Call the plug.
00:57No way.
00:58The captain's alive.
01:01Does he know what we did to him?
01:04There's something else.
01:06Ralph?
01:09I need my tablets. I need my tablets.
01:13I can't stop the US investigating, but I might be able to delay them.
01:18I'm calling it Operation Frankenstein.
01:27We haven't got long.
01:29More are coming.
01:31I strongly suggest you follow me.
01:33Rachel, can't you see?
01:35We're better off together.
02:01Where are we?
02:05131 feet below the US,
02:06the banks of the River Thames.
02:09This is how you escaped the QE2 building.
02:16After you assassinated Isaac Turner.
02:23Yes.
02:25But just so you know, he tried to kill me first.
02:35He used to say, he weren't in fact watching me.
02:40A deepfake.
02:43Hopefully, we can begin to raise awareness of the illegal practice of correction.
02:48Because only by bringing this conspiracy out onto the open,
02:52can we hope to confront it.
02:55You have indeed been watching a deepfake interview.
03:01But the alarming practice of correction described in it is very much real.
03:06The BBC has obtained evidence that knowledge of the so-called correction program
03:11extends across multiple UK intelligence agencies
03:15and to senior members of the British government.
03:46You did it, Isaac. You bloody did it.
03:48Yeah, with a little help from my friends.
03:50The Home Secretary's waiting to congratulate you.
03:53I'm the Home Secretary.
03:55Oh, God, I'm sorry. Force a habit. I meant the former Home Secretary.
03:59Gail, are you still here?
04:06Secretary of State.
04:07Owen, did you forget something?
04:10Oh, have no fear. I am on my way out in every respect.
04:15Now, I just wanted to make sure that I was here for the handover.
04:19And what is it you're handing over, exactly?
04:21Apart from the failing department.
04:24Have you met Peter?
04:26Peter.
04:27Home Secretary, congratulations.
04:29And Chris, do you know Chris?
04:31Chris.
04:32It's just Chris, like BeyoncƩ.
04:36Congratulations, Home Secretary.
04:37Did you see it, Peter, the stunt?
04:40I did.
04:41And Chris?
04:42Yes, yes, I caught it.
04:44Bit of a room splitter, but going damn well online, I hear.
04:48Not so well other places.
04:51What other places might they be?
04:53Now, I heard a rumour that you weren't in on it.
04:58But the first you knew of it was when you walked out in Piccadilly Circus
05:03and saw yourself on the big screen looking back.
05:07What rumour in Westminster? I'm shocked.
05:09Well, have no fear. I won't judge you for it.
05:13But it does raise a rather important question, Isaac.
05:17Which is?
05:19Is this about correction?
05:23Or is this about you?
05:27There's talk of a public inquiry?
05:31It's not just talk.
05:33Oh, that was you then?
05:34It's so hard to know what's real these days on the news.
05:37Well, we know you have to ride the anti-correction wave for a while.
05:42I mean, how could you not when it washes you up on such bountiful shores?
05:46But if this is ultimately a you thing, I'm sure we could find a way to avoid stepping on each
05:51other's toes.
05:52Indeed.
05:53And if it is correction?
05:55Then we'd advise you to tread carefully.
05:59Check for babies before throwing that bathwater out.
06:03Babies?
06:04Deepfake technology can be used in a variety of ways, Home Secretary.
06:09A variety of legal ways?
06:11A variety of covert ways.
06:14Ways that help protect Britain and her interests at home and abroad.
06:18Ways that remain effective so long as they remain covert.
06:22If everyone starts questioning everything they see, we could be about to see operations go south.
06:28If you launch that inquiry, we may have no option but to pull all active ops immediately.
06:34Damage limitation.
06:36Operation Burn It to the fucking ground.
06:48I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I promised the public I would root out deepfake evidence tampering and that's exactly what I
06:54intend to do.
06:56It's not about me.
06:58Or corrections.
06:59It's about something rather more fundamental.
07:04British justice.
07:09And without that, what kind of Britain are you hoping to protect?
07:12Northern Dance.
07:13Oh.
07:15Oh.
07:23Alright, well, you know where I am?
07:33Burn it to the fucking ground.
08:38Noa Pearson.
08:40Well, the person I know as Noa Pearson.
08:43I am arresting you for treason, mass murder, conspiracy to commit mass murder, preparation
08:49of terrorist acts, conspiracy to commit terrorist acts.
08:52You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense if you do not mention that
08:56question.
08:56Something which you later rely on in court.
08:59Anything you do say will be taken in evidence.
09:02What are you doing?
09:03Hand over your phone.
09:05I can't do that.
09:07You are under arrest.
09:09Shh.
09:10You need to lower your voice.
09:12Don't overplay your hand, Rachel.
09:14Up there I'm under arrest.
09:15Down here I'm in command.
09:17That's the way it has to be.
09:18Then I'll need to add resisting arrest to the list of Georges.
09:21Hmm.
09:22That'll be the one that sways the jury.
09:25With me.
09:26No.
09:27No.
09:28I am not going anywhere with you until you tell me who you are and who you're working
09:32for.
09:32All good questions, Rachel, and I will answer them fully.
09:35But I need to take care of something first.
09:39People are coming to kill us.
09:41Well, kill you primarily, though I can't imagine they'll shed too many tears if I get caught
09:45in the crossfire.
09:47Wait.
09:48Who are they and why are they coming to kill me?
09:51Again, all good questions.
09:52Again, lots to unpack.
09:53Again, not much time.
09:54People are coming to kill us.
09:58If you're not willing to trust me on anything else, trust me on that.
10:02It is a lot to expect trust from someone you have lied to from the start.
10:06Shh.
10:34Not disturbing you, am I?
10:36No, sir.
10:37A little tardy picking up?
10:40Apologies, sir.
10:41Late night?
10:42No, sir.
10:43Lights out 2200 hours, same as every night.
10:45I didn't ask for your life story.
10:48Sir.
10:49So, about our former friend, MI5, and other local attractions.
10:57I thought we didn't talk about her, sir.
11:00I'll never take talking off the table, Todd.
11:03I mean, if Kennedy could sit with Khrushchev over a Vanish Nestle, I can bury my beef with
11:10Gemma Garland.
11:11Sir, Kendrick and Drake could learn a thing or two.
11:15Reinstate her security clearance.
11:17She's off the naughty list.
11:20And, uh, make her feel at home.
11:23Sir, Gemma Garland's coming in.
11:25She wants to see the Whitlock files.
11:29She'll be here in 30 minutes.
11:30Give her access to the archives.
11:33Give her...
11:35Restricted access.
11:36Access to the archives.
11:37Restricted access.
11:38Local archive only.
11:39Local archives only.
11:41Yes, sir.
11:43And Todd...
11:44And Todd.
11:46Full deniability.
11:48Full deniability.
11:49Garland's not exactly flavor of the month.
11:53Not exactly flavor of the month.
11:55Of course.
11:57When is she?
12:09Yeah.
12:10You said keep moving.
12:12Plan to change.
12:12We adapt.
12:13Take it.
12:24There'll be four of them in formation.
12:27Two-point men, two rear guards.
12:30How do you feel about support?
12:33Who are they?
12:35I'll cover the left rear guard.
12:36You ain't for the right.
12:37If you don't put him down, I will.
12:39If you do put him down, I'll buy you a pint.
13:03There's traffic.
13:04If you want to get there 30 minutes, you better get a move on.
13:06I'll drive you.
13:07No.
13:08Better to keep it tight.
13:10I've got this.
13:12How's the back?
13:13You know, no worse than usual.
13:15Getting tied up in that boot can't have helped.
13:20Back?
13:21Yeah, poor Ralph's got sciatica.
13:23Oh.
13:24Thought it was thyroid.
13:26Is there anything you haven't got?
13:29Insurance.
13:29Hypo or hyper?
13:33Huh?
13:35Your thyroid.
13:37Underactive or overactive?
13:40Underactive.
13:43So, hyper?
13:47Yeah.
13:48Yeah.
13:51No, um, hyper.
13:52Sorry.
13:54Uh, easy mistake.
13:55I-I'm gonna have to get to the pharmacy at some point.
13:58Pass me the pills, Ralph.
14:00I'm gonna have to get to the pharmacy at some point.
14:02I'm gonna go.
14:06You're gonna go.
14:15I wasn't gonna go.
14:39who was monitoring my home no one that's where right that's that dealt with
14:49so just recording for the archives were you ralph it wasn't recording oh what was it doing then
14:55just listening listening for what let's ringer words
15:03sciatica for compromise thyroid for thyroid for what
15:23so
15:52I don't know.
16:06I don't know.
16:16I guess the pints are on you.
16:25He said he just wanted to talk to her.
16:26Somewhere quiet, he said.
16:28Then why didn't he lure her to a fucking library?
16:30Trojan One's comms are down.
16:31Right, let's go.
16:33Hang on a minute.
16:34I can't babysit.
16:35I'm supposed to be walking into Frank's op's room in 15 minutes.
16:38Ten minutes.
16:39Ten minutes.
16:44Literally, sit on him.
16:57I was on duty when the items came in.
16:59Firearms processed the rifle.
17:01I processed the video equipment.
17:03I can check again, but I can assure you I will not find any bullets.
17:07So why does the log say different?
17:09You made a mistake.
17:11Why would I write two mags of ammo when there were none?
17:15If you suspect the log's been compromised, why haven't you flagged it?
17:19You know, you lot really ought to try talking to each other up there, hmm?
17:25I flagged it with your commander half an hour ago.
17:33You've got nothing on me there either.
17:34No bullets, because there weren't any bullets to find.
17:37No shootings, because nobody got shot.
17:39Nothing.
17:40What'd you think I'm...
17:41Now find me someone caught on camera who doesn't claim they've been defaked.
17:45And what about Abbascliffe?
17:47What about Abbascliffe?
17:48Whitlock's alibi.
17:50If I had a pound for every perp who claimed they were doing research for a documentary,
17:53I'd be retired.
17:54You wouldn't believe how many people make documentaries about plotting to murder their spouse.
17:59According to the evidence log, Whitlock was found with two magazines of .338s.
18:04Yeah.
18:05According to Sokos, Whitlock's rifle was not loaded.
18:08There was no ammo at the scene.
18:10So someone's tampering with the logs?
18:13I think I might know who it is.
18:26Four men.
18:27Hmm?
18:28Two before.
18:30Yes.
18:31A kill squad.
18:33For me.
18:34Maybe they came heavy because they knew I was with you.
18:38Well, maybe you can't keep your story straight for ten fucking seconds.
18:41Drop your weapon.
18:43Okay.
18:46Do you mind if I put it down rather than drop it?
18:48Or there's a chance of my accident...
18:49Just fucking do it.
18:50Yep.
18:51Gotcha.
18:51Gotcha.
18:54Gotcha.
18:55Hands where I can see them.
18:58Now, I'm going to ask you some questions.
19:01And you're going to give me the truth.
19:02Rachel, I can't protect either of us with my hands in these.
19:05Did I ask you a question?
19:07No.
19:07Then shut the fuck up.
19:11What's your real name?
19:12Because I know it's not Noah fucking Pearson.
19:15Will.
19:17Will.
19:19Not Simon.
19:19I'm Captain William Walker, United Kingdom's Special Forces.
19:26SAS.
19:28Paras.
19:30The Increment.
19:32E-Squadron.
19:34Answerable only to yourselves in MI6, right?
19:36Good knowledge.
19:40Is Simon your commanding officer?
19:42You could say that.
19:45These men, did they come for me?
19:47Or did they come for you?
19:49I think they were coming for me.
19:51You think?
19:53They were coming for me.
19:58Start talking.
20:00It's a long story.
20:02Then tell it quick.
20:03I think.
20:08I don't.
20:09I don't know.
20:09I'm just kidding.
20:29I'm just kidding.
20:30I don't know.
20:31I'm just kidding.
20:31No bitch.
20:36You ask him?
20:39You ask him, he asks him to ask the officer?
20:42No, he asks you, Aнатолий.
20:52Well, hello, Olipa. I know you, huh?
21:00Hello!
21:01No, Anatoliy.
21:06But I know you.
21:10I came to take a look at him.
21:22Who told me my name?
21:24Anatoliy Vasilyev, R-9, Moscow.
21:35Who gave you this address?
21:39Anatoliy, have you not seen the video of the house today?
21:56No, you idiot!
22:02Calm down, Anatoliy.
22:05Calm down.
22:06I'm your messages.
22:08They look like Ukrainians.
22:11Think about it.
22:12How would we actually get there?
22:16This is my security.
22:20My people.
22:23This is impossible.
22:26Well, everything is possible.
22:28Well, everything is possible.
22:30Especially with the withdrawal.
22:33Who are you?
22:35You're not a dick.
22:37You're a dick.
22:38You're an American.
22:39You're a dick.
22:42You're a dick.
22:44You're a dick.
22:45You're a dick.
22:46You're a dick.
22:46You're a dick.
22:55And now...
22:57...
22:58...
22:58...
22:59...
23:01...
23:02...
23:04...
23:11How did you do it?
23:14How did you do it?
23:15I told you that he is a little bit more than you thought.
23:20We will never put them in the closet.
23:23We need to go right now.
23:26Let's go.
23:27Please, take another one.
23:29We can't.
23:30She is my sister.
23:38How did you do it?
23:53Should I?
23:54No, no, put me, since I said I would just go out.
23:58I will just go out.
24:04Hey, the commander wants to talk to you.
24:28If we can get to the gas, we can get to the gas.
24:32Without the boss we will not go anywhere.
24:35Lida!
24:37Lida, do you hear me?
24:39Lida!
24:41You did not miss Karolina?
24:43Lida!
24:46It's so scary, Anatoly.
24:51I don't want to live in the city.
24:54I want to go back.
24:56It's dangerous when you don't have it.
24:59Lida, give a car to Karolina.
25:01Lida!
25:06Karolina!
25:07I don't see you.
25:15I don't see you.
25:16Let's go.
25:20Let's go.
25:25Let's go.
25:27Let's go.
25:28I want to see your beautiful face.
25:31Karolina!
25:33Karolina!
25:35You hear me?
25:36I don't see you.
25:39I don't see you.
25:40I don't see you.
25:41Karolina!
25:41Karolina!
25:48Mom?
25:53We still have a man in there.
25:55An order is an order.
25:56Burn it to the ground.
26:25Burn it to the ground.
26:26Where is my wife and daughter?
26:29Where did they go?
26:31It's not an order, Anatoly.
26:35They are not in the room.
26:40Look.
26:42They are in the room.
26:43They were never in danger.
26:46No one died.
26:52No one died, Karolina!
27:33Hey! Stay here!
27:47Hey!
27:52Hey!
27:55Hey!
27:59Hey!
28:03Hey!
28:03I'm going to kill you!
28:04I'm going to kill you!
28:08Me!
28:10Richly!
28:12Richly!
28:15Richly!
28:28Isaac Turner had a lot to answer for.
28:40I'm going to kill you.
28:53Paige.
28:55You're not leaving, are you?
28:57Uh, let me rephrase that, you're not leaving, are you?
29:01James Whitlock hasn't been charged.
29:03You're in the middle of the most urgent investigation running.
29:06I know. I just don't think anything's going to happen tonight.
29:10I just don't want to miss therapy right after this week.
29:14You're OK?
29:16Yeah, yeah. It's been a lot.
29:20Yeah.
29:21How do you know nothing's happening tonight?
29:23Is that from Rachel?
29:26Well, to be honest, I'm not...
29:28I'm absolutely sure where Rachel is.
29:32I'm starting to see why she asked for you, Paige.
29:37Oh, that's...
29:38That's actually weird.
29:39She said that you put me forward.
29:44You know what, Paige?
29:46Don't miss therapy.
29:48I'll cover for you.
29:58What if Rachel's been right about Pearson all along?
30:03I'm calling her. I've tried.
30:04If the Governor's broken the chain of evidence, she's a piece of shit.
30:07But Rachel's not right about all of it.
30:09What? The Kerry cam hack?
30:13It's OK. We're allowed to say it when she's not here.
30:15It wasn't a hack.
30:16Come on.
30:16Pearson was eating sushi when Turner was shot. We know that.
30:20Oh, it's certain someone hasn't found a way to correct the Kerry cams.
30:24I'll check for a fifth time if you want, trying not to be offended.
30:28It's not ringing.
30:29When was the last time you spoke to her?
30:39Leave your phone.
30:41Why?
30:43They're tracking it, obviously.
30:46No-one's tracking this device.
30:49How do you think they've found you?
30:55Why would they track this
30:58when they can track this?
31:08Please, please!
31:10Please, please!
31:14Please.
31:16Please.
31:31Oh.
32:02Get me off the floor!
32:04Get me off the floor!
32:13Go.
32:39I beat my record.
32:41You beat everyone's record, you greedy prick.
32:44Strength, stamina, resistance, all performance stats through the roof.
32:52Because of this?
32:54Well, the cardiac recorder can't take all the credit.
32:56It's an augmentation, albeit a new and exciting one.
33:00The device doesn't simply stabilise your heart rate,
33:03it raises and lowers it in real time, according to your needs.
33:07We should all get one.
33:09How are you feeling, Captain? New and improved?
33:13Doc, I'm grateful for everything you've done for me.
33:17Truly I am.
33:19Major getting me out of there.
33:22I owe this squadron my life.
33:25It just leaves you a shitty taste.
33:2922 dead because of me and I come out better than before.
33:43We need to follow this to the right.
33:46No sudden movements.
34:03Indeed.
34:07Yes, I am aware of that.
34:10Hmm.
34:13Another embarrassment.
34:16Yep.
34:17Till then.
34:21Did you enjoy your days in the military, sir?
34:24Hmm.
34:24Yes.
34:26Well, no.
34:27Frankly.
34:29Mm-hmm.
34:30I must admit I did enjoy passing out and the camaraderie.
34:36I'm sure it doesn't compare to belonging to a Royal Regiment like yours, sir.
34:40That's a different level entirely.
34:43We need a new head of SO-15.
34:45I thought we'd already have dealt with that.
34:48Noah Pearson's been asked to step down.
34:51Right.
34:51Well, yeah, that makes sense.
34:54It does?
34:55Well, I...
34:57I sensed an issue, sir, between yourself and Commander Pearson.
35:02Nothing to do with me.
35:04Right.
35:05I mean, I hope it's nothing I missed.
35:07Oh, well, of course, you took the lead on Pearson's vetting.
35:12I did, sir.
35:14As you requested, sir.
35:16Well, we'll see.
35:19And in the format that you requested, sir.
35:22You may have to complete a review, just for clarity.
35:26Unless I'm in a...
35:27I did find it quite an unusual request, sir, conducting the interview remotely.
35:32Well, I'm sure you'll make a good case.
35:35The worst part of it is that, uh, we're gonna have to go back to Rachel Carey
35:39with our tail between our legs to ask her to cover.
35:43Great.
35:44Well, she'll enjoy that.
35:46If I may ask, so what was the official reason for Pearson's departure?
35:50Couple of red flags for HR.
35:52Well, thank God we called them early.
35:54Right, so behavioral.
35:55Yeah, that makes sense.
35:57How did he, uh, how did he take it?
35:59Hmm?
36:00Well, when you told him, uh, he must have been livid, I'm guessing.
36:04I wasn't there.
36:07HR are dealing with this.
36:09Of course.
36:15She was at Gemma Garland's house.
36:17Oh.
36:18Danny Hart.
36:19Hm.
36:20I don't know what she's up to, but she's not sharing it with me.
36:23Well, whatever it is, she knows you can see her.
36:27Carey told me to pull surveillance on the property.
36:30She also made me pull all surveillance on Danny Hart and Frank Napier.
36:34Yeah.
36:34I was...
36:34I just kept his feet running.
36:36I was...
36:37I was getting concerned.
36:40Well, I think it's time we got back into Danny Hart's phone.
36:43Don't you?
36:49Where are we now?
36:51Crossing the river, south to north, halfway between Westminster Bridge and Waterloo Bridge.
36:56Where does this lead?
37:00The Strand, obviously.
37:03Why are you suddenly interested in gaining my trust?
37:06Honestly?
37:09I had nowhere else to turn.
37:11Figured you were the only one who could help me.
37:14I'm your arresting officer, Captain William Walker.
37:16The only place I'll be helping you is to the cells.
37:20Why did you fall out of favor with your squadron?
37:24I survived.
37:28Back there at the warehouse, my implant must have been pumping out some data Simon didn't like.
37:33I was under duress, vulnerable to compromise.
37:36Simon flicked my kill switch.
37:39Who is Simon?
37:50I knew.
37:53The second I made that call, I knew.
37:57I'd fuck the op.
38:00You were trying to help her, William.
38:05I keep thinking if I could go back, what would I do different, but...
38:12There's someone I'd like you to meet.
38:15Echo 9 to base command.
38:17We have a civilian vehicle with unknown cargo approaching secure zone.
38:21Please advise, over.
38:23Stand by Echo 9, over.
38:25See what Simon says.
38:27Sir.
38:33I'm Captain Walker.
38:35I'm here to see Simon.
38:39Simon?
38:41Is he here?
38:43Simon's always here.
38:44Simon's right in front of you.
38:46Oh, I'm...
38:48Pleased to meet you.
38:49Not him.
38:50Echo 9 to base command.
38:52Vehicle stopping.
38:53Vehicle stopping.
38:54Do we have clearance over?
38:58Hold for analysis, Echo 9.
39:03Base command to Echo 9.
39:05Simon's assessed and flagged as an enemy vehicle.
39:07You have permission to engage.
39:09Repeat.
39:09Engage the target.
39:11Copy that.
39:12Strike, strike, strike.
39:17Echo 9 confirming.
39:19Target vehicle destroyed.
39:20Over.
39:21Well done, Simon.
39:23Nice one, Simon.
39:25Simon's...
39:26the computer.
39:29He's a bit more than that.
39:32You're using AI to support ops?
39:35Support.
39:36Map.
39:37Execute.
39:38Command.
39:40Simon factors more risks and variables
39:41than you lot on the ground are capable of knowing.
39:44Tell him your objective will calculate your mission
39:47and recalibrate it for you in real time.
39:50The stats don't lie.
39:52Simon saves lives.
39:54You call him Simon because...
39:57you do what he says.
39:58We're eradicating human error.
40:01A matter I would imagine quite close to your heart, Captain.
40:13I know our regular session isn't for a few days,
40:16but I wanted to show you this as soon as possible.
40:18I've done a little digging, and I've pulled in a favor or two,
40:21and I think I've found her.
40:26Her?
40:29These are all the hostages who died on the truck.
40:38Doc, I don't know if this is such a great idea.
40:42She fits your description.
40:46Clara Kavaljenka, born in Donetsk.
40:55All due respect, Doc,
40:59why would you give me meds to forget her then show me her picture?
41:03The medication is just a temporary measure, William.
41:07You must learn to forgive yourself and to re-attribute blame where it's deserved.
41:13Your mission went south for a reason.
41:16It failed because of a decision made over a thousand miles away,
41:20here in London, at the Home Office,
41:23and at the worst possible time.
41:28Now, Command have asked me to clear you for selection.
41:35No.
41:38You think I'm ready?
41:41I believe this mission could be highly beneficial.
41:47Didn't I fail the psych test?
41:51It may even bring you some closure, William.
41:54You'll understand when you see the target.
41:59The target?
42:02A kill mission?
42:16Isaac's killing was ordered by AI.
42:20I'm a cog in the machine, Rachel.
42:23Just like you said.
42:25Are you telling me Yates went along with an armed attack in Central London?
42:29The killing of the Home Secretary?
42:31No, I'm telling you he went along with my appointment as Commander.
42:36Yates is another cog.
42:43We cogs don't always know what our fellow cogs are up to.
42:51Or even who they are.
43:01One second he was standing there, smiling.
43:06And the next his head just...
43:14I didn't know.
43:15I swear I didn't know what was going to happen.
43:19I thought they were just going to like...
43:21Paige, I should warn you.
43:23If I believe a client may be involved in criminal activity,
43:27it's my duty to inform the police.
43:32Oh!
43:33Sorry, I did...
43:36I should have said I'm...
43:39making a documentary.
43:52How did you compromise Veritas?
43:54The carry cam.
43:56I think you're mixing me up with tech.
43:58You must have been involved.
43:59I was told to be a cold-drops yard at one o'clock the day before the hit.
44:02That's as much as I know.
44:04The feed's 24 hours out of sync.
44:07That's not possible. That's the first thing we would have checked.
44:09Have you considered the glitch may be human rather than technical?
44:15My team know what they're doing.
44:17DCI Kendricks knows that system inside out.
44:27Why compromise the tech when you can compromise the technicians?
44:33I don't trust many people, but I do trust Torque.
44:36You mean he's the last person you'd suspect?
44:40It's classic.
44:41Simon.
44:42Knows how to turn the most loyal among us.
44:45Knows our secrets, our weaknesses.
44:47Simon knows us better than we know ourselves.
44:50He said I'd go rogue and here I am.
44:54And you're powerless to resist.
44:57No free will of your own.
45:01Cog.
45:04Machine.
45:09Huge machine.
45:30How do you know there won't be gunmen waiting for us?
45:33There might.
45:38You don't have a gun?
45:42There might be gunmen up there.
45:44There might be gunmen down here.
45:45But there won't be any gunmen in here.
46:08So let's need a gunfight.
46:10She's back online.
46:11Rachel Cary.
46:13Have you got a location?
46:15She's just off the Strand.
46:16I need a precise location, Ralph.
46:19The signal's coming from the south end of Galhurst Mews.
46:23With me?
46:26No wonder she's with her old friends.
46:28None of us would listen to her.
46:49What are you doing?
46:51Buying us a minute before we face the world above.
46:55Don't you want to hear the end of my story?
46:57May as well be sitting comfortably.
47:02Or at least angle the gun away from me while I tell you this next bit.
47:14Isaac Turner was not my only target.
47:26Is this a revenge mission for bringing down the correction program?
47:30No. No, Simon doesn't do revenge.
47:33It's far more significant than that.
47:35That's good to know, sir.
47:37If we fail to act, Isaac Turner will become the next British PM.
47:41Understood.
47:42Cannot be allowed to happen.
47:45Because?
47:46Because Simon says.
47:51Does my faith in AI seem strange to you, Captain?
47:56Perhaps you haven't witnessed the results of human error in combat quite as acutely as I have.
48:04The truth is, Simon saves lives.
48:08His decisions can seem random at times.
48:11A butterfly flaps its wings, Simon sends NATO subs into the Baltic, but for every strategic decision he makes, Simon
48:20factors in more information than you or I could fathom in a lifetime.
48:25They say Simon can't predict the future, but he forecasts it with an alarming degree of accuracy.
48:33Simon says that Isaac Turner in number ten is a threat to British democracy.
48:39I believe him.
48:40Forgive me, sir.
48:43As the ones taking out a future prime minister, aren't we the threat to British democracy?
48:52Personally, I've come to find the chasm between our understanding and Simon's to be reassuring and humbling.
49:04If we knew how to save the world ourselves, we wouldn't need AI.
49:11Not seeing the full picture is a small price to pay.
49:19So if you're not seeing the full picture, who is?
49:27Simon.
49:32Of course.
49:34If it's not for you, Captain, you're a free man.
49:38You have a choice.
50:03Ah, there you are.
50:05William.
50:07I was hoping to catch you before you vanished into thin air.
50:11Doc, after everything you did for me, I was too chicken shit to come and tell you I was leaving.
50:17Am I too late to change your mind?
50:19Or your heart?
50:21Sorry, Doc.
50:23Paper's a sign.
50:25Well, in that case, I wish you luck, William Walker.
50:30You too, Doc.
50:38Someone will be in touch to book in the procedure.
50:41Procedure?
50:42Removing the tech.
50:43You'll be in and out in an hour.
50:46And deactivation's even easier.
50:47It's done remotely.
50:50Deactivation?
50:51Out here, I can do it for you now.
50:53May as well.
50:54Your mind's made up.
50:56Wait, wait, what the fuck?
51:01See?
51:01It's cynical.
51:02Flick of a switch.
51:04Fuck.
51:05Slow down, I can't breathe.
51:07Yes, it can feel like that when your heart goes from working at full capacity to under 5%.
51:14Feel like I'm gonna fucking die.
51:16Yes, it can feel like I'm gonna do it.
51:19Yes, it can feel like that, too.
51:20Try to conserve your energy.
51:25I'll print it back.
51:27Please, Doc.
51:28Well, you must understand William the tech is offered as an investment.
51:34I'll do it.
51:36I'll do the job.
51:37Please.
51:38Doc.
51:39Please.
51:52Good to have you back, William.
52:02I won't say I didn't have a choice, but...
52:11And me?
52:17Did they tell you why I was a target?
52:20You weren't.
52:24The Home Secretary's Smarter Surveillance Bill would see Operation Veritas rolled out across the U.K.
52:42The Home Secretary's Smarter Surveillance Bill would see.
53:03Simon predicted I would choke when it came to turning the gun on you.
53:06And as always, Simon was right.
53:11By the time I got out, the next mission was waiting for me.
53:15The real mission.
53:18Become Noah Pearson, take over CTC, and get Whitlock charged.
53:25They were never planning to kill you, Rachel.
53:31They were planning to kill your reputation, your name.
53:38Simon devised a way to make you claim something no one could believe.
53:43To make you doubt your own mind.
53:47To gaslight you.
53:52It didn't work, though.
53:54Most people would have started doubting themselves at some point.
53:58You didn't.
54:01I know what I saw.
54:06You know Cog, Rachel.
54:12You know what?
54:14From now on, neither am I.
54:19Put the weapon down.
54:21Here's my offer.
54:22My, um, elevator pitch.
54:29What are you doing?
54:30What I should have done in the first place.
54:33After this, my heart will be functioning
54:35at about 5% of what a normal heart might work at.
54:39I won't be a threat to anyone.
54:40But that's suicide.
54:41It couldn't constitute a security risk if I tried.
54:45Give me the weapon.
55:07Now, I know you'll want to do this the conventional way.
55:10Bring me in and have me testify,
55:11but who knows how long I've got left.
55:14If I make it to trial, will the judge say I'm fit to stand?
55:18What's the alternative?
55:20The...
55:22The unconventional way.
55:24Get me to a safe house,
55:25preferably one with a decent first aid kit,
55:27and however long I've got left,
55:29an hour, a month, a year,
55:30I'll spend it helping you expose my squadron
55:33for what they've become.
55:34An AI-worshipping cult.
55:38All right.
55:47I feel better already.
55:52Look.
55:54The tracker.
55:56They put it behind the battery.
55:59Cynical bastards.
56:03So...
56:06What do you say, Rachel Carey?
56:09Whistleblower.
56:11You brought down correction.
56:13If anyone can bring down the increment...
56:17It's you.
56:23Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
56:34go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
56:36go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
56:36go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
56:38go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
56:38go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
56:53Oh, my God.
57:19Oh, my God.
57:21Oh, my God.
57:23Wokeful suspect.
57:24Wokeful suspect.
57:25Now, now, now, now, now, now.
57:29I'm Will.
57:32It's okay, he's with me.
