[woman over PA]

The next station is Shepherd's Bush.

The next station is Warren Street.

Doors will open on your left hand side.

The next station is Oval.

Station.

- [bags exploding]

- [people screaming]

- Get out of there! Get off! Get out!

- [all clamouring]

- [groaning]

- What have you done?

- What have you just done?

- It hasn't It hasn't worked.

Is that a f*cking b*mb?

No! It's It It's bread.

It's just bread.

I don't know what has happened.

It's just bread in there.

If you want me to help you,

lie down on the floor.

[man on PA] This train will now

be delayed at the next station.

- f*ck.

- Lie on the floor and I will help you.

[Mohammed] I don't know

what has happened.

Would the person who pulled

the emergency lever

please make themselves known.

Yes, it was me.

I pulled the lever.

There was an expl*si*n.

[woman over PA]

The next station is Oval.

Hello? Listen to me.

Don't open the doors.

The guy who did this

is still on the train.

Don't open the doors.

Don't open the f*cking No!

Stop that

Stop that man! Stop him! He's a b*mber!

Stop that man!

- Stop him!

- f*ck!

[woman over PA]

The next station is Shepherd's Bush.

Please mind the gap.

This bus terminates here.

-Please to your journey.

- What was that upstairs?

f*cking open the doors! Please get us out!

[groaning in pain]

[man] Hey, who the hell are you?

- [panting]

- [man] Call the police! Stop him!

[grunting]

Stop him!

[news reporters] Half past twelve,

something has just exploded

on the train

as terror hit London's

transport system once again.

London's Northern tube line.

At exactly the same time,

underground passengers

smelled something

The capital had been targeted

in what appears to be another

two weeks to the day

London was rocked by terrorism,

the capital's streets are again reduced

to this. Panic and confusion.

[Hayman] Four explosions.

Three on tube trains, one on a bus.

Tim, take a seat please.

That's the exact same pattern

as two weeks ago.

It now seems clear

this is also a coordinated attack.

What casualties?

[Hayman] Well, we've got reports

of smoke and chaos,

explosions like fireworks going off,

scaring the sh*t out of everybody,

but so far no deaths or injuries.

[Ian Blair] So, what's going on here?

Is it some sort of stunt?

We don't think so.

In each case, the explosions,

they came from rucksacks

carried by men

of African-Somalian appearance.

And the witnesses, they're reporting

a thick bubbling liquid

with a foul smell oozing from them.

The same stuff as the Leeds b*mb factory?

Precisely.

I think what is more likely

is that these were proper bombs,

like the ones two weeks ago,

but for some reason the main expl*sives

didn't go off, just the detonators.

So where are they?

If the people who did this

were suicide bombers who didn't die,

where are they now?

[news reporter] Londoners are being urged

to fight back against

the latest t*rror1st threats

by continuing to use the transport system

and working normally.

[Tony Blair] The police have done their

very best, and the security services too,

in the situation.

And I think

we've just got to react calmly.

They feel that there is a need

to stand firm

in the face of the t*rrorists

and the bombers.

And they know that, so far, public opinion

has been very supportive

of the Prime Minister.

But of course, in times like this,

that could change.

Public opinion could be volatile,

particularly if this turns out

to be a prolonged campaign.

We are witnessing

a sense of panic this time

which wasn't evident two weeks ago.

Yes, but that's because last time

the public didn't know what was going on.

This time, they do.

I have a press conference later today,

an opportunity to try and project

some calmness.

Situation under control.

I suppose we should assume that the people

that did this will try again?

We've agreed with the Prime Minister

this morning that with immediate effect,

the threat level to the UK will be raised

from severe to critical.

[news reporter]

Because these bombs did not explode,

and the reason for that may well tell

police something significant

about the organization

or skill of the bombers,

a welter of clues has been left behind

because nothing has been destroyed.

One thing that makes a difference though

- the bombers are still alive

- [mobile ringing]

[Osman over phone] Hello?

- Yeshi? It's me.

- What happened?

It went wrong.

Muktar must have f*cked up the mixture.

Where are you now?

Wandsworth, on the High Street.

I need you to come and get me.

I'm with my brother,

we will come and find you.

What the f*ck happened?

- I don't know.

- f*ck you, Muktar!

You're the one who went to training camp.

We just did what you told us.

You f*cking idiot!

You got the mixture wrong,

and they didn't go off!

Did they all fail?

From what they're saying on the news.

Although, they're only talking

about four explosions, not five.

f*ck! I'm so thirsty.

So, what do we do now?

We know we have four explosions.

Well, four attempted explosions,

but it's still pretty unclear

as to what's happened.

I can tell you that the Met Police

and the emergency services

are getting control

over a very confused scene

but, clearly,

this is a very serious incident.

I have a couple of messages

I need to give.

The first is that the transport system

will be closed down for a while.

The second is that it is very important

for Londoners, and people in London,

to stay where they are for the time being.

Thank you.

[reporters clamouring]

Mr. Blair! Mr. Blair!

[Kate] The substance is bubbling,

it looks quite unstable to me

What's the problem?

Yeah, as soon as I tried to move that bag,

the mixture started heating up.

[Todd] It's a thermal reaction.

The chemicals involved are reacting

to greater exposure to the air.

Well, the mixture's similar

to the Leeds mixture,

but it's not exactly the same.

It's a different colour for starters.

Right, we're gonna have to back off

and come up with another plan.

This stuff is extremely unstable.

It could react violently at any moment.

All right, move the cordon back.

Get everybody off the platform.

It's reacting.

Yes, it's dangerous.

We don't even know what it is.

Okay. So, just remove it

and let the forensics guys do their work.

[Todd over phone] Removing it

is what's causing the problem.

It's incredibly unstable.

Right, I just need some more time

to come up with a different strategy.

- How long?

- Until the end of the day.

No, no. You haven't got it. Come on.

- Cliff, we need to get in that carriage.

- [scoffs]

There is evidence in there

that will help us identify these guys

before they do something else.

This stuff is dangerous.

You're not listening to me.

The whole of London

The whole f*cking country

is waiting for you to do your job.

[mobile beeps]

"In the meeting I had

with the Prime Minister yesterday,

"I raised the issue of maximizing

the legal protection for officers

"who had to take decisions in relation

to people believed to be suicide bombers.

"This is clearly a fast-time

decision-making process

"in which officers cannot risk

the kind of containment

"and negotiation tactics

that would normally be the case."

And this is to the Home Office?

To the permanent secretary

John Gieve, yes.

"The only choice an officer may have

may be to sh**t to k*ll

"in order to prevent the detonation

of a device."

We must put them on notice

of possible Operation KRATOS scenarios.

Sorry, sir.

Erm, you're gonna have to go back out

in front of the cameras.

- You are joking.

- It's the train drivers, sir.

TFL's just been on the phone saying

if they think your message

applies to them too,

they will stay at home

and the whole tube system

will grind to a halt.

But I've just been on.

I'll look like an idiot!

Sake!

This is a complete bloody farce.

[Todd] Okay, we don't try

and move it all in one go.

We take small sections,

put them in the anti-static bags,

don't seal them,

put them in the plastic containers

surrounded by water.

[Kate] It's gonna take a long time.

I don't care. That's how we're doing this.

[Kate] Okay.

[tense music playing]

[news reporters] The Metropolitan police

are under immense pressure today

as they deploy armed police officers

The atmosphere this afternoon

will be much more to do with

how do we deal with the nervousness

that this will cause.

Like how do we find out whether this

is some kind of hoax set of bombs,

who might have done it.

It'll be much more

Blair insisted Iraq was not the cause

of the London bombings.

And that militant Islam must be faced down

both here and across the world.

I don't think there are any problems.

I think, should be, like,

pretty much straightforward.

You know, like, two alarms each flat.

Job done.

So, what do you think? Happy?

Yeah, yeah. We might have to run

some trunking into the corners.

- But yeah, no problem.

- Mmm-hmm.

Okay, I need to check with the office,

but as far as I'm concerned,

I'm more than happy to press the button.

- Sounds good for me.

- All right, great.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you, fantastic guys,

thank you.

- Boom.

- Yeah.

[Gesio in Portuguese] Here's the thing

the way things are going,

and with us just closing on this contract,

you'll soon be renting your own place.

No need to share

with your cousins anymore.

Yeah, that's good mate, but

you know I've been thinking

of going back to Brazil?

I've been here for three years already.

Back to Brazil? You're kidding, mate?

In the future

maybe I'd like to have a family in Brazil,

you know?

I've also been talking to Adriana.

Adriana?

I know what you're thinking,

but it's not only because of Adriana.

We've been talking about opening

an electrical business in São Paulo.

Hmm, electrical

You'll see, it's going to be the sh*t.

But we still have work to do here

and we need to finish all this, you know?

Before you go back.

I know, yeah.

Speaking of which,

we need to finish this job tomorrow.

- What time?

- 7 am.

Come on, Gesio. Don't f*ck with me.

Listen, I'm working

at a restaurant tonight.

I'm going to finish super late.

I'm covering for my friend

who's on holiday.

Also, there was all the chaos on the tube

this morning.

I'm sure services

will be sh*t tomorrow, mate.

Go easy on me, mate.

Nine o'clock.

Okay, okay, I'll get there

as soon as I can, alright?

Nine.

f*ck's sake.

[in English] Okay,

it's safe to go in there now.

[officer] Thanks, Chief.

I got a message for your boss.

Tell him I did my bloody job, okay?

Hey, Olu! How's it going, man?

Sumaila, what's up?

I'm good, I'm good. How are things?

- It's okay, you know. Makin' a livin'.

- Yeah?

Listen, Olu, I need a favour.

[chuckles] No. Whatever it is, no.

I just need a place to stay tonight, yeah?

I got myself into a situation

and I need some space.

- What kind of a situation?

- It doesn't matter. It's okay. It's okay.

- No, I don't want no walla.

- Please, I promise, just tonight, man.

- Please. Please.

- I'm sorry, Sumaila.

I'm a married man now.

She's at home by herself with the baby.

I can't do it.

Look, I'll wait for you, yeah?

Go home with you when you finish.

It's not gonna happen, Sumaila.

Them days are behind me now.

Sorry.

Photos of every seat, please.

It's okay. Come to me. Okay.

I've got you.

- [Osman groans]

- Sorry.

What's your plan then?

You can't stay here too long.

I left a false address in my rucksack.

The guy I go gym with.

It might buy us a bit of time.

[Mulu] Where will you go?

Rome.

My brother lives there.

They will never find you there.

My sister will look after you

until you're ready to go, okay?

[Oman] Okay. My friend Ismail

can get me a passport.

You can talk to him, he's a good man.

I need a new phone as well.

I will handle it.

[people chattering indistinctly

in distance]

[people chattering indistinctly]

What do they want us to do with this?

It's a pretty good likeness.

We've been asked to send it to the lab.

They think we might be able to retrieve

DNA or maybe some fingerprints from it.

Take a picture for me.

[detective] This is him. 21 Scotia Road.

- [knocking on door]

- Yeah?

We've got a name for one of them

and an address.

We found a gym membership card

at the scene

of the Shepherd's Bush expl*si*n.

That's him outside the tube station

this morning.

[Hayman] This the best likeness

we've got?

It's what we've been given.

We're hoping to get clearer pictures

from DVLA

and the passport office tomorrow.

Does look like the same guy.

- What's the address?

- Tulse Hill. 21 Scotia road.

We've had confirmation

the devices were viable bombs,

similar in composition

to the seven-seven bombs.

They don't know yet

why they didn't go off.

- We need a Gold Firearms Strategy, John.

- Already on it.

- Who you making DSO?

- Cressida d*ck.

Just got off the phone to her,

she'll be in first thing.

CO19 and a full surveillance team

are being deployed to the address

as soon as is practicable.

We may have to take

extreme action here, Andy.

I'm thinking KRATOS.

The moment could quite possibly arrive

for a critical shot.

Agreed.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Eyes on the plot.

All quiet.

Top floor window. No movement.

[woman over PA] This is the number two bus

to Norwood bus garage.

Next stop, Upper Tulse Hill.

Red team in position on the plot.

- [radio beeps]

- Yeah, roger that.

[McDowall] We believe

yesterday's devices were viable

and it was only by sheer luck

that significant loss of life and injury

was avoided.

With this in mind,

the strategic objectives

for today's operation are as follows.

To control the premises at Scotia Road

through covert surveillance.

To follow any person leaving the premises

until it is safe to challenge them

and then stop them.

To detain one

or all of the suspected t*rrorists

or establish the whereabouts of others

who pose a threat to the public.

As it is envisaged that an Operation

KRATOS scenario could develop,

I have appointed

a designated senior officer

who will take command in Room 1600,

with Jon Boutcher acting as her deputy.

Who will be DSO, sir?

Well, it should be Cressida d*ck.

I can't think where she is.

[Frank] Right, okay.

Someone's coming out.

IC1 male.

Sixties.

[McDowall] Cress, we just finished.

I'm sorry, John.

I was given the wrong room.

I'm not late,

I've been here since five this morning.

- Okay. I'll have to do it again for you.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry.

That's all right.

Yeah.

Hollow point?

Yeah, authority was given last night.

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

[Frank] Two IC2 females. Both 20s.

It looks like they're just going to work.

[person over radio] Roger that.

[Hale] The links between yesterday's

attempted bombings

and those that occurred two weeks ago

are inescapable.

I mean, the expl*sives used

and the MO of the bombers,

it's almost identical.

Yesterday morning, three of the bombers

entered the underground network,

just down the road

at Stockwell tube station.

Hussain Osman.

The codename for this suspect

is Nettle Tip.

Married father of three.

He tried to explode a b*mb

on the tube yesterday at Shepherd's Bush.

Women and children in that carriage

with him.

Now, we'll shortly be moving

to Nightingale Lane police station

in Wandsworth,

to get you closer to the plot.

But you should be prepared today

to use unusual tactics.

Can you expand on that?

[Hale] An instruction for a critical shot

would come from the DSO,

but a situation

you should all prepare yourselves for

is that if you are deployed

to intercept a suspect,

and can challenge that suspect,

but the suspect is non-compliant,

then in that situation,

a critical shot can be taken.

At your own discretion.

Yeah.

Okay. Let's go.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Jean

[in Portuguese] Where are you, man?

Wake up, mate.

f*ck off, Gesio!

Seriously man, I'm already in Kilburn

and I need you to head over.

Mate, I got home after midnight yesterday,

I asked my cousins not to wake me up.

But mate, the guy's fire alarm's broke.

I need you here, man.

Okay, I'm coming.

Tchau. Tchau.

[in English] Hurry up.

[Derek over radio] Red two,

any movement inside number 21?

Negative. No, it looks quiet up there.

[Derek] Where the f*ck are firearms?

Who's gonna stop him if he does come out?

I see it. And then they're coming back

to you. They're discussing it right now.

- [people chattering indistinctly]

- [d*ck] I've spoken with John McDowall

and we think that any subject coming out

of that address should be allowed,

initially, to run before CO19 move in

to challenge him.

Let him get a safe distance

from the premises

so as not to alert anybody else inside?

We don't want a Madrid situation

where they blow themselves

and the building up

as we approach the premises.

[Derek] There's two bus stops

within walking distance to them flats.

Get onto command.

We should get the bus services

f*cking suspended.

We've had a request

from one of the surveillance teams

to suspend bus services in the area.

They say they don't want him

getting onto public transport.

I think as soon as we stop the buses,

we're effectively alerting Osman

and any of the others

that we're on to them.

So, we keep the buses running?

I don't want to compromise the address.

That's my decision.

Where are CO19, by the way?

We need them close by Scotia Road.

- They're being briefed.

- Still?

This is another briefing from Greg Purser.

I think the feeling is,

given they might have to take

a critical shot,

that we don't want them under-briefed.

Out there right now, we have

surveillance teams from SO12.

But, ultimately, it will fall to you

to intercept and contain this threat.

The men we are up against have the ability

to make small devices

which they secrete about their persons,

so, they may not be wearing a backpack.

It's important to remember that.

And to detonate a device,

all they need to do is reach

into their pocket.

It's a very small movement.

These men are t*rrorists.

They are deadly, determined,

and highly motivated.

They won't hesitate to k*ll themselves,

you, and innocent members of the public.

We'll be making a move to a TA centre

closer to the plot after this.

We're moving again?

But, first, let's go over again

the information we have on the suspects,

beginning with Hussain Osman,

the suspect associated with the address

in Scotia Road.

Codename, Nettle Tip.

[urinating]

Movement. One IC1 male, dark hair,

beard, stubble,

wearing a blue denim jacket,

blue jeans, it may not be IC1.

Actually, it might be worth somebody else

taking a look.

[James] Yeah, we got him.

He's on Upper Tulse Hill.

Grey team will take it from here.

Can't we get someone to grab a photograph?

We've asked them.

We're having problems with the radios.

[man on radio speaking indistinctly]

Where are CO19?

[officer] Nettle Tip has now

boarded the bus.

Repeat, he is on the bus,

- headed north towards Brixton.

- f*ck!

- [Purser] What is it?

- [Hale] He's just got on a bus.

- What?

- I know some of the cars aren't here yet.

No, we can't wait.

We're on the move again.

He's headed towards Brixton.

Brixton!

Yeah. Not a good look,

so it's not a positive ID.

But he has distinctive eyes.

They're Mongolian in appearance.

[man] We're establishing the comms.

Have you contacted

Sounds like it's not a match

with Nettle Tip.

I expect they'll withdraw surveillance

back to their start positions.

This is Charlie 12.

Is everybody at the TA centre?

- [radio signal crackling]

- For f*ck's sake!

- [Hale] He's headed towards Brixton.

- Is What

Listen out for further instructions.

Yeah, copy that.

I can finally f*cking hear ya.

[Gesio in Portuguese] Jean, Jean.

Hello, Gesio?

- It's me.

- It's me.

Where are you?

Brixton station is shut.

[in English] Right. He got off the bus,

then turned round and got back on the bus.

[man on radio] Copy that.

Situation is, he's got off the bus,

then he's quickly got back

on the same bus again.

- Anti-surveillance?

- Certainly looks like it.

And he's on his phone the whole time.

They think it's him, and they're saying

he's very, very jumpy.

How sure are they?

Ask them to give me a percentage.

How sure out of ten are they?

I'm gonna need a percentage, mate.

Score out of ten on the likeness.

Seriously?

They're asking, out of ten,

how certain are we that he's Nettle Tip?

It's a ridiculous question.

Grey team, can anyone give me

a number, out of ten,

how sure they are the suspect

is Nettle Tip?

That's the bus.

- [James] Grey team?

- [radio beeps and crackles]

Pat, I'm not getting anything back

from anyone.

Maybe a comms issue.

The radio's in and out the whole time

but I don't think it's a question

you can answer like that. Out of ten.

Received. Anything you can say to assist?

Well, when I saw him

about half an hour ago,

[James] I thought he was

a "good possible."

For what it's worth,

I think it could be him.

But no one's managed to get

a really good look at him yet.

- Drop me there.

- Will do.

I'll call you, Pat,

if I hear back from anyone.

[Pat] Copy that.

I don't think it's him.

I got a full frontal view of his face

for like a second or so,

and I would say he's not identical

to Nettle Tip.

Well. I think that's a good possible

likeness, innit?

Not for me.

They can't give a percentage,

but they believe it is Nettle Tip.

I'm hearing he's acting nervously.

That he's very twitchy.

Okay.

Well, we have to intercept him.

Do we stop the bus?

Too dangerous.

Jon's right.

Let's wait until he gets off.

[in Portuguese] It's not my fault

they've closed the station.

[Gesio] But where are you now, Jean?

I'm on the bus now, going to Stockwell.

Okay, come as quick as you can. Please.

I can't get there any quicker.

Okay, okay.

As soon as I get out of the tube,

I'll call you. Okay?

Okay. Okay. Ciao.

[officer in English]

Suspect is now travelling north

on a bus towards Stockwell road.

Right, lights on.

We've gotta go,

- we've gotta catch up with him.

- [sirens wailing]

[Hale] All right, Nettle Tip is on a bus,

headed north along Stockwell Road.

Repeat, north along Stockwell Road.

He's off the bus.

He's heading for the station.

He must not be allowed to enter

the tube system.

He must be arrested by CO19.

I don't think they're there yet.

I'm approaching from Clapham Road

to the north of you.

I'm a couple of minutes away.

Do you want this man lifted?

Do you want this man lifted?

He's entered the station.

Should he be stopped?

- [d*ck] Yes!

- Who do you wanna stop him?

- CO19.

- They're not there yet.

SO12 then.

He cannot be allowed to get on a train.

Stop him getting on the train.

What do you want me to do?

CO19 are now at the station.

Should they do the stop?

[d*ck] Yes!

Yes! CO19. Not SO12.

Tell them he must not get on that train.

[officer on radio] All units, State Red.

Go to State Red.

All units, State Red. Go to State Red.

Move! Move! Move!

[woman over PA]

This station, please stop off.

- Move, move!

- [officers clamouring]

[woman over PA] Please ensure

you have all your belongings with you

when you leave the train.

Move! Move!

What's happening?

Comms are down. They must be underground.

As soon as you hear anything,

you get straight back to me.

Do you understand?

[officer] Move! Move! Move!

He's here!

- [people screaming]

- Police!

Police! Let go. We're police! Police!
