04x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

Our intelligence says the device
is loaded onto a pallet

ready for transportation by lorry.

VRN found. ANPR on the approach
to Wandsworth Roundabout.

Pull the lorry over,
hold it in position.

We'll move in to intercept.

It's not that simple, EXPO 1.
The lorry has company.

'We suspect that they will have
remote control of the device.

'I'm concerned
that if we approach...'

The lorry will detonate.

The anti-drone ammunition
is not gonna get here in time,

and we need to intercept the lorry
without the drone seeing.

OFFICER 1: Armed police!
OFFICER 2: Armed police! Stop!

Hands on the wheel!

GROANING Out, out!

Gold Command, EXPO 8.
Target confirmed.

Satnav destination -
the Bank of England.

You must disarm this device
before it reaches its target.

OK, we've got a large main charge.

No ID on the driver, but there is
a business card with a company name.

DS MORGAN: Sir?
Did you see something?

Morgan, call this in.
Sir.

Contact at 13 Collonby Road.

CTSFOs have lost comms
on Bronze Investigation 1.

SHE GRUNTS,
SHE SCREAMS

They're practically on target.

Done, done!

WHIRRING

Another device.
HASS: That's out east.

EDDIE: 'And are you ready for that?'
'For dying?'

Yeah.

That's the job.

Can someone tell me what's going on?

We have a device detonation in E15

outside the UK Banking Group
headquarters.

Can we get a visual?

As well as E2,
the London Commodities Exchange.

And the Bank of England so that
makes three financial targets.

Ma'am, we haven't heard anything
from Bronze Investigation 1,

not since Trojan 3
reported a contact.

Just keep trying DCI Batra.

SIREN WAILS

Gold Command, EXPO 1.

Gold Command, EXPO 1.
Are you receiving me? Over.

EXPO 1, this is Gold Command.

So far, we have three devices
targeting financial centres

across east-central London.

'Two detonated, yours disarmed.'

How many casualties?
We don't know yet.

Do we know who's behind it?

DCI Batra is investigating
our main lead,

but he's out of contact.

Yeah, course he is.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking
if we can get into this,

we can find out where it came from.

SHE GROANS

OFFICER 1: Armed police!

OFFICER 2: On three! All clear!

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH,
CHATTER

In here!

Armed police!
Armed police!

I'm in here!

Another b*mb!

Any sign?

Central London is at a standstill.
Panic will spread fast.

I need to brief COBRA and JIC.
What do we know?

Emergency teams are getting
to the two detonation sites now.

What about the lorry driver?
Have they questioned him yet?

DC Brenton is waiting for medics
to sign him off for interview.

Tell the medics if he's conscious,
they sign him off. Ma'am.

I'll be joining DC Brenton
when he interviews the driver.

Yeah, of course. In the meantime,

perhaps you could start preparing
the initial report for COBRA.

Would you like me
to get one of your other officers?

Andy, you may be MI5,
but today, you're one of us.

We're all in this together.

Ma'am.

Cheers.
LANA: Gold Command, EXPO 1.

We've got the SD card
from the drone.

We can decrypt the flight logs
from here, EXPO 1.

EXPO 1 Bravo to Gold Command.
I'm getting them sent over.

Danny, switch to channel three, please.

OFFICER ON RADIO: 'Confirmed.
We're currently on the fourth floor.

'Say again, the fourth floor
of the neighbouring building.

'With Bronze Investigation 2 now.
Contact IED.

'Possible sensor-trigger
that was activated

'with the opening
of an office door.'

What about Batra?

This is Trojan 1.

'What is the status
of Bronze Investigation 1?'

'Bronze Investigation 1
was the closest to the device.

'He has not survived the blast.

'Bronze Investigation 2 currently
receiving medical attention.'

Copy that.

He's dead?

How...?

Wren...
now is not the time to grieve.

The city's under attack.
We need to do our jobs.

So let's get this flight data over.
Danny, come on.

What's his family situation?

Ma'am?
DCI Batra.

Er, single, I think.

Him and DS Morgan are good friends.
I don't really know him that well.

DANNY: 'EXPO 1 Bravo
to Gold Command.

'Sending the files through now.
Over.'

I'll need his next of kin.

Ma'am.
Hang on.

BEEPS Yeah, send it through.

As soon as we have it,
get the flight data to analysis.

Right, listen in.

We've trained for this.

Our job now is to ensure
our response is co-ordinated

and that no more lives are lost.

Concentrate on the task before you,
remain focused...

and we'll bring
whoever's behind this to justice.

SHE GROANS

We need to get you to a hospital
to be stitched up.

Can't you do
what you need to do here?

I mean, I... I wouldn't advise it.

It'd be very painful.

I need to get back to CTHQ.

SHE GROANS Do it.

Analysis has been able
to approximate coordinates

for point of origin
of the drone's flight path.

I'm putting them up on screen now.

Coordinates received, Gold Command.

The drone originated in Langshaw,
on the edge of the basin.

Do you think that's where
they controlled it from?

That would make sense.

They'd need to be near the river
to track the lorry.

Yeah, control by the water

would have given the clearest line
of sight.

We've been asked to go
and check it out.

What, just you lot, or all of us?
Just us.

Gold Command, EXPO 1.
NIA ON RADIO: 'Go ahead, EXPO 1.'

Yeah, we need to go to Langshaw.

What happened to DCI Batra
won't be a one-off.

These people have got expl*sives
to spare.

We don't know
what they've got planned.

Who else have we got in that area?
Only local units.

Yeah, I agree, EXPO 1.

I'm just conscious
of the day you've had so far.

No, we're good.
'Yeah, I'm sure you are.

'We'll need someone to wait at your
location for b*mb data analysis.'

Yeah, I've got that.
Gold Command, EXPO 8 is on that.

'OK, EXPO 1,
you're free to move with Trojan 1.'

Catch you later.
All right, let's go.

This is Commander Quentin.
Operational update at 10:08.

Intelligence acquired from the drone

has revealed a point of origin
for its flight path.

You got signal?
Nah.

But I'm hoping this might send
as soon as things come back online.

Who are you texting? Carla?
Yeah.

Don't want her to worry longer
than she needs to.

Are you OK?

Four devices in a day and the DCI?

Yeah, this is bad, Wash.
Yeah, I know.

But, look, we've got
a massive job on our hands.

You've gotta stay focused, Danny.

Right, how are we gonna get there?

London's at a standstill.
It's total gridlock.

Well, where we're going,
we don't need roads.

Trojan 1 to Gold Command.

Approaching the drone control
search radius now.

'OK, RV with Uniform
at the west side of the dock.'

'Received. Up ahead.'

EXPO 1. Sergeant Redhead.
What we got?

The coordinates passed to us
are for a nearby boat yard.

Any suspicious activity?
Well, we haven't been here long.

We weren't gonna get too close
without you lot.

Fair enough. You good?
Yeah.

Show us the way.
Right.

RV with the team at the boat yard.

We're heading
to the main boat yard now.

Isn't this supposed
to be a working yard?

It looks pretty lifeless to me.

Yeah, well, it's like
the distribution centre.

There could be someone here
somewhere.

Ma'am.

DS Morgan,
what are you doing here?

I wanted to get back to work
immediately. I'm ready to help.

I heard you were injured.
It's nothing too serious, Ma'am.

Have you been properly debriefed?
Not yet, no.

OK, I'm gonna need
a full incident report

detailing everything that happened.

Ma'am.

Something went very badly wrong,
and I need to know why.

Look, I appreciate your dedication,
DS Morgan,

but I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.

No, I need to be here.

You need to be debriefed.
OK, I can arrange for that now.

You also need my permission
to be here.

SIGHS

Please, Ma'am.

DCI Batra was my friend.

b*mb analysis first look report
is ready.

Get your debrief sorted...
and get back to work.

OK.

SIGHS

b*mb data analyst Reeves.

You're a sight for sore eyes.
Hey.

How are you doing?
I'm OK.

Good.

What do you reckon?

Well, I don't know, mate.
I haven't looked at it yet.

You can share the intelligence
with me, can't you? Mate?

Well, we've had some intel
on the stolen expl*sives.

What was likely used
in the three devices.

They think it's RDX.

RDX.

RDX?

Military-grade expl*sives,
in all the devices.

And you're telling me you still have
no leads on who these people are?

No... Ma'am.

Does it come
with the job description, Andy,

that everything you say whiffs
of bullshit?

Ma'am?

This is the biggest terror attack
this country has seen

for nearly two decades.

I've already lost one officer,

and I have many more
out in the field,

including one who is
in active pursuit of these people.

This is not the time
for Security Service red tape.

You should update your EXPO team
about the expl*sives.

We'll have
no-one opening any doors today.

We'll be using
the breaching charges.

Cheers, Danny.

ON RADIO: 'EXPO 1,
this is Gold Command.

'More intel
from the anti-smuggling operation

'has been filtering through.

'Amongst the findings,

'there's evidence that a large
amount of RDX has been brought in.'

Oh, sh*t.
'Proceed with extreme caution.'

That's the understatement
of the century.

Yeah, innit just?

Shall we see
if we can find another way in?

Well, the breaching charges
won't detonate RDX.

I do know what I'm doing, Danny.

At 09:21, DCI Batra and I sought...

confirmation from Gold Command
to pursue the lead.

The one that came from the arrest
of the driver,

of the suspect HGV?

Correct.

It took us to a courier office
at 13 Collonby Road.

The DCI confirmed
that the office was located

on the lower ground floor
of the building.

As Trojan 3 conducted their search,

we noticed a suspicious individual
in an adjoining building.

Who's we?
DCI Batra and I.

Can you describe the individual?

IC1, male.

No distinguishing features.
There was a hood obscuring his face.

And who noticed him first?
DCI Batra.

On entering
the adjoining building...

Without CTSFO support.
Yes.

Whose idea was that?

DCI Batra.

You have to understand the immense
pressure that we were under.

Once you entered the building,
then what?

We climbed up two flights of stairs.

We saw the suspect individual again.
He turned and ran.

Why didn't you call it in?

I did.
I asked DCI Batra to call it in.

You asked your senior officer
to call in the contact?

Yeah. I was closest in pursuit
at the time.

Why didn't he?

Sorry?
Why didn't the DCI call it in?

The first we heard was
from Trojan 3, after the contact.

Er... I don't know.

But DCI Batra would have had
a very good reason

for doing whatever he did.

Take a seat, DS Morgan.

DS Morgan.

Neil.
I'm... I'm glad you're OK.

Neil, any updates
on the lorry driver?

He's ready to be interviewed.
Good.

Andy will be joining you.
Ma'am?

I'd like you
to conduct the interview.

But surely DS Morgan...

DS Morgan will be staying here
for the time being.

She's had more than enough
to deal with today. Ma'am.

Danny, stand by
to connect the charge.

DANNY: Ready.

OK.

Wait.

Danny, I said everything
will be fine. Shh, listen!

CLANKING

Can you hear that?

Is that someone tapping on the door?

CLANKING

Gold Command, EXPO 1.
There's someone inside the room.

CLANKING

Tap again if you can hear me.

CLANKING

My name's Lana. I'm here to help.

I'm gonna ask you
some questions, OK?

Tap once if the answer's yes.

Tap twice if the answer's no.
Do you understand?

BANGS ONCE ON DOOR

OK. Are you tied up?
BANGS ONCE ON DOOR

Are you tied up against the door?
BANGS ONCE ON DOOR

Can you see anything?

BANGS TWICE ON DOOR

OK, just stay really still for me.

Right, I'm gonna need
to drill through the door,

so we need to take the charges down.

Need to find out
what we're dealing with.

CLANKING,
LANA EXHALES

OK, we've got a female tied
to the door by a rope.

OK, she's not in good shape.
Possible concussion.

Can you make sure
there's medics standing by?

Copy that.

Can you tap on the door, just
so I know you can still hear me?

OK, you're doing great.

IED confirmed.
We've got a closed circuit.

The door itself is a trigger.

If we'd have opened it,
it would have detonated.

NIA ON RADIO: 'Copy that, EXPO 1.'

I'm just feeding something else
through the door.

Stay still for me.

Isolating the charge
with a simple snip now.

Device neutralised. Entry secured.

SOBBING

You're OK. You're OK.

OK, we're here. Just stay calm.

OK.

All right. I'm here, I'm here.
Look at me.

Let me take this out of your mouth.

SHE GASPS

What's your name? What's your name?

Annie.
Deep breaths, Annie.

We're here now.
OK. This might hurt a bit.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. OK.

Let me get this from you.

Ah, there we go. All right?

What...?
No, no, Annie.

Annie, look at me.
Don't worry about that.

That's all been dealt with, OK?
You're safe.

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY That's it.

Right, where's this medic?

PHIL ON RADIO: 'Medic's travelling
in from the riverside now.'

OK, look at me, Annie.

You're all right. You're safe.

Tell me
how you got caught up in this.

I'm security.
OK.

I saw something on my rounds
this morning.

I came to look,
and then they knocked me out.

OK. I get it, I get it.
ANNIE SOBS

Can you tell me what you saw?
I don't know.

There were a lot of monitors
and equipment.

OK, that's great.

Just stay there for me.
I'm just gonna get us some help.

Danny, get in here. I need you.

Can you get her to her feet?
Yeah.

You all right? My name's PC Malcolm,

and I'm here
to get you to safety, OK?

OK, there's no sign
of any drone command.

Annie, it's just past 11.
Do you know when you came in here?

Yeah. Maybe an hour ago.
OK, great.

EXPO 1. The bombers will have left
in the last hour.

NIA: 'Copy that, EXPO 1.'

Wash.
Yeah?

There's something on her back.

OK. Stay still.

Stay really still, Annie.

Well?
We've got a secondary.

Just hold that gently.

Still, still.
Steady, steady, steady.

It's OK.

Wash, talk to me. What can you see?

Right, I need you both to stay
as still as you can.

We've got tilt switches.

sh*t.

What does that mean?
Annie, stop! Annie, stop!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Listen to me. Listen to me.

You need to be really still, OK?

If you keep moving,

you'll turn the device
and it will trigger,

so just be really still.

You're doing great, OK?
Danny, give me your hand.

Give me your hand.
Keep your hand on that for me.

Keep it there as still as you can.

Right.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

Be as still as you possibly can.
Just need to trace the device.

Wash...

Wash...

Wash, she's shaking.

Yeah, I can see that, Danny.
Just use your big muscles.

My muscles? Are you kidding me?
Annie, you need to stay still.

f*cking tilt switch in my hands.
WHISPERS: Shut up.

Annie, it's gonna be OK. All right?

OK, just going in for the wire now.

Deep breaths. Stay really still.

ANNIE BREATHES
SHAKILY

You've got to stop shaking, OK?

OK.

Just both stay really still.

ANNIE BREATHES
SHAKILY

We're clear.
We're clear. We're clear.

It's OK.
ANNIE SOBS

Turn round for me.

You're OK. You're OK.

I'm just gonna pat you down
before you go.

You've done great. How brave.

OK. All done.

Trojan 1.

Secondary device has been
neutralised on the hostage.

Tell the medics
I'll be out in a minute.

WHISPERS: Thank you.
You're OK.

LANA SIGHS

THEY SIGH

That was too close for me.

I know.

I'm sorry, Danny. I...

I shouldn't have brought you in.
It's fine.

Come on.

Did a great job.
Yeah.

NIA ON RADIO: 'EXPO 1. Everyone OK?'

Yeah, everybody's fine.

And drone command?
'No, there's no drone command.

'There's no nothing.
These people are messing with us.'

Yeah.

But it'll give us some answers.

I'm gonna ask you some questions,

and I just need you to nod your head
really gently for me.

When they put that in your mouth,
did they ask you to bite down?

They did? Keep doing that.

Keep the pressure on it
as much as you can. OK.

Phil, I need a first-aid kit
immediately.

Right, let's get you comfy,

and then I can work
on the device, yeah?

Good lad.

Ta.

Right. I'm gonna move your feet.

You just concentrate on keeping
your mouth really, really still.

That's it. You're doing great.

OK.

OK.

You're doing great.

OK.

Well, you're a police officer,

so you understand
what's going on here.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you.
We're professionals, yeah?

When they put that in your mouth,
did they pull something out?

They did? OK.

Well, that probably means
that it's spring-loaded,

so your teeth are pushing down
on the spring.

OK, that's like a grenade.

If you open your mouth,
you know what's gonna happen.

OK?

I just need you
to keep your mouth shut.

Bring up his record.

His name is Robert Wells.

'Joined the force nine months ago.

'Keep his radio channel open.'
Yep, copy that.

Right, they want us on open comms,
so if you can hold that for me.

Just concentrate on keeping...
That's it. Great.

'OK, we've got
a victim-operated IED.

'I'm just gonna look
at the detail now.'

So, Robert, we've not worked
together before, have we?

Well, lucky for you,
I'm the best there is.

I'm gonna get you out of here, OK?
Right.

Stay really still for me.
Really calm.

OK.

OK, I can feel the spring.

Robert, look at me.

I can't get to that
by going through your mouth.

Because you're biting down,
there's no room for me to get in.

So you know what we're gonna have
to do, don't you?

I'm gonna use a scalpel,
make a really small incision,

as neat as I possibly can.

All I need you to do
is just keep biting down for me, OK?

Let's get this done quick, shall we?

Deep breaths for me.

Just try and stay as still
as you can.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

ROBERT BREATHES
SHAKILY

'OK.'

That's it. You're doing great.

OK. All done, Robert. Right.

Right, we're nearly there.

Just one more minute.
I just need to get to the battery.

All right. It's coming.

OK, there it is.

All right. OK.

Well done, Robert. Well done.

OK. Let's take this out
of your mouth.

Open up. That's it.

That's it. Well done.

Hold that there,
as much pressure as you can.

As much pressure as you can.

Device neutralised.

'OK, look at me.
Robert, look at me.

'I need you to stay with me.'

Well done, mate. Well done.

Now, listen, I know you're in shock,

but I need you
to tell me what you saw.

Talk to me.
What did you see? What happened?

I don't know. I don't know.

Robert, they're on comms.

They need all the information
they can get.
