We are now four days post-attack,
and as of 9:00am this morning,
the death toll now stands at 18.
Working hypothesis?
A targeted attack
by an Islamist group.
We found this.
Improvised detonator.
!sis's go-to det of choice.
My gut tells me we're dealing with
sophisticated bombers,
not some amateur Islamist
who's got a grudge.
Just stick to what you know. OK?
When it comes to expl*sives,
I'm the expert. I know what I saw.
You were right, Wash.
They abandoned their factory
and planted evidence to make it
look Islamist. That stain proves it.
How the hell are the bombers
getting military-grade expl*sive?
You working?
Is he bollocks!
It's just tough at the minute.
It was always "my team needs me"
with Nut. Like we didn't.
IED left centre!
Battery pack expl*sive
taped underneath the desk.
All set.
The device was found
by a worshiper in the mosque.
Everyone's been evacuated.
Islamists don't b*mb mosques.
There's... like a bag.
Was anything attached,
like a mobile phone or a watch?
Yeah, yeah, a watch.
There's an expl*sive device
triggered by movement.
Just stay really, really still, OK?
Get out now!
Get me out of here, please.
Please help!
Help! Please help!
Help!
Please get me out of here!
I need those people taken back
to the second cordon,
an extra 50 yards at least.
Any police officer
on this side of the cordon
needs to be wearing a lid.
OK, listen to me. I know it's scary.
I'm a bit scared,
but it's gonna be fine.
I'm just gonna get some tools out,
so just stay really still
and really quiet, yeah?
Please get me out of here.
I don't know what's going on.
Can you get me out?
Still and quiet.
You've got 90 seconds, Lana! Hurry!
Please... If you can hear me,
you need to hurry!
Please get me out of here!
No, no, don't leave.
Don't leave, please. Keep calm.
Please, please!
Please will you just shut up?!
Please try and stay calm.
Please help me.
Help me, please. Please!
My hands are slipping.
Lana!
Lana! Lana!
Please help me.
Please be quiet!
30 seconds.
We've got 30 seconds.
I'm nearly there.
Lana, please.
I'm nearly... Danny, get off.
I'm nearly there.
God help me.
Please, God, help me. Don't leave.
I'm nearly there. Get off!
Let's go. Let's go.
Get off!
I don't wanna die!
Hard cover! Hard cover!
Hard cover! Hard cover!
Get down!
'EXPO has concluded search
for secondaries. Site secure.'
EXPO 2, Received.
I'm sorry, Lana.
Let's go.
We need that audio file traced.
Ask Security Services
if they've got any updates
on our priority targets.
We've got access
to all the best assets,
in terms of surveillance
and technical resources.
Let's use them, please.
I'll need CCTV from every camera
within five miles of that mosque.
Now, now more than ever, we're
under pressure to get a result.
I want the suspect list cut down.
We can eliminate
any extremist in custody
or already under surveillance
as persons of interest, yeah?
Right, everyone.
Thank you all
for working through the night
on the incident at Amburiq Mosque.
This situation now takes priority
for all counter-terror units.
It's almost 2:00am. I have
an ELG meeting in five minutes.
Give me something to bring.
Ma'am, this recorded message
was sent to us
and every single major news station,
on an encrypted service.
'This is payback for Westhaven.
'Amburiq was
the start of the fightback.
'We call on the white race to take
up arms. We are the Crusaders.'
The audio source
is heavily encrypted.
Tech are giving us everything they
have, but it might be a dead end.
I'll get GCHQ to apply a little
more pressure on the servers.
Any evidence at the scene
confirming their involvement? Hi.
Er, this flag was used as the gag on
the victim. No prints or DNA on it.
These Crusaders aren't known
to our friends at Thames House?
Agatha Jack tried to take
English Flag into the mainstream.
Seems like
a few splinter groups formed,
but no previous with the Crusaders.
Anything about the vic
that appears significant?
Ali Hussein was the Muezzin. It's
an important role in the community.
He leads the call to prayer,
responsible for
keeping the mosque clean.
Most important, as Muezzin, it would
have been his responsibility
to welcome any newcomer.
At 13:56, a white man with a black
baseball cap walks into the mosque
carrying a blue bag.
It was Jummah - Friday prayers,
lots of comings and goings,
larger congregations.
14:09, black baseball
leaves the mosque empty-handed.
Head down. He's a pro.
Knows where the cameras are.
We need to identify him.
Lana, I appreciate you
coming in to make your report.
Anything about yesterday
we need to know?
Er, the device appeared to be
designed to stop us
gaining access to the room
where the victim was located.
On closer examination,
I discovered a secondary time switch
with a countdown and a tilt switch.
Um, unfortunately I ran out of time.
Sonya, have you got the video file?
Yeah.
So, if you look at the impact, it's
obvious they used a high expl*sive.
Like used on the compound
at the b*mb factory,
and found on the main charge
at Westhaven.
But we need a chemical confirmation.
OK, that's a priority in tracking
the bombers. Get on top of this.
Ma'am.
Let's get moving.
All right, Wash?
Stick the kettle on.
Could have used a second EXPO unit.
Where were you? Just hanging out?
You're joking! Do I look like
I'm joking? Where was my backup?
If you'd have done your job
properly,
we wouldn't be
in this f*cking mess, would we?
Ten Liner request never mentioned
a second team.
He's right.
Never got any call for backup.
It's the Senior's role to request
additional support, and that's you.
Why don't you get some sleep
and sort your f*cking head out?
Come on.
Whoa-whoa-whoa.
Get off!
Lana!
Billy, what?
Look at the bloody state of you.
A Halal butchers? Idiot!
You know, you are allowed
to clean up, Billy.
Where's Becky?
She's at her mum's.
Here you are.
You need to get
that hand checked out.
There could be glass
and all sorts in there.
So, you like it here?
Yeah, it's a palace, innit?
Cracking views of Cally Road.
Mmm.
You're not a vampire, Billy.
You can open the curtains, you know.
Bloody hell, Lana.
See the mean machine's
had a bit of attention.
Looks good.
Lana, keep 'em closed.
Do us a favour, yeah?
What?
Don't mention this to Mum and Dad.
Fine.
What are you doing, Billy?
What have they ever done to you?
k*lled Nut.
People like them.
We're at w*r, Lana.
w*r? You haven't got a clue!
What do you know about w*r?
w*r against Halal butchers?
You don't know anything! It weren't
them who k*lled Nut, you know.
Grow up, Billy.
We done?
Yes, I am.
'Please get me out of here, please.
'Help me, please.'
'Got 90 seconds, Lana! Hurry!'
'Lana, we've got 30 seconds.'
'Nearly there. I'm nearly there!
Get off!' 'Let's go!'
'Don't leave me!'
Hey.
Hey.
So, what's happening?
'The HMX-319 comes from
Porton Down.'
But they couldn't tell me any more.
Wouldn't tell me any more.
'It's classified, Lana.'
What level of classification
are we talking?
Well, beyond us bottom-feeders.
OK. OK, I'll speak to Hamilton or...
Thom?
Yeah. Yeah.
'What are we dealing with here,
Wash?'
What bombers
have this kind of access?
I dunno, Sonya.
I'll give you a call in a bit, yeah?
Talk later.
OK, bye.
Bye.
Come on. Come on.
'This is Thom Youngblood,
please leave a message.' Damn it!
Hello, mate.
Eh up.
You all right?
Oh, you're gorgeous.
Meet Nelson. Nelson, Wash.
Is he yours?
No, no, he's Elly's.
Er, sorry, I'm a bit...
That's all right.
I'm just nipping out for a bit.
OK. All right.
How you doing?
Yeah, good, good.
You find it all right?
Yeah, fine.
It's good, innit?
Vietnamese weasel coffee.
What?!
Trust me, you don't wanna know
why it's called that.
Right,
so you're a coffee expert? Sure.
Though lime and soda's
more of my specialist subject.
Oh, wish I was on them
the other night.
Yeah, you were a mess.
I know.
I mean, like, totally gone.
Wow.
All right, shut up!
If you can't cut loose
at moments like that, when can you?
Well, you didn't.
Hmm.
I've got too much up here.
I just can't.
Demons waiting to come out
and play, you know?
You know, I've still got
an evac pack next to my bed
just in case they call me out.
It's tragic, I know.
No, I get it. I feel the same.
It's... It's hard to talk about,
innit?
I feel like if I told my mates,
they'd think I was losing it.
Hmm.
We lose part of ourselves out there.
We never get it back.
Hey, you know what we need, right?
Come here.
What? What?!
Buckle up.
Where are we going?
Keep cool.
Oh, my God, my coffee!
Here.
I don't understand where we are!
Might wanna put your bag on the
other shoulder. What is this, mate?
Just trust me.
Eh up, Maz.
Hiya, Karl.
Welcome to paradise.
Drink?
Yeah.
Oh, bollocks.
I set you up.
Thank you very much.
Shot.
Oof!
Lot riding on this.
Mate, I've neutralised an IED
while the Taliban are taking
pot shots at my head,
so I think I'll be all right.
Oh! You sharked me, giving it the
old, "I haven't played for ages."
Pretty good, Wash,
I'll give you that.
No, keep your money.
Double or quits.
All right. Deal.
This time I won't mess about.
Oh, fighting talk.
You can rack up.
Show off!
Careful. Steady. Oh.
Oh, damn it.
So, does it get easier?
Yeah.
I-I mean... no.
Still hurts.
Still feel like I'm lost.
The army trained me,
gave me a purpose, and now...
Yeah, I get it.
I had routine,
I knew what I was doing.
When I stepped up to a device,
summat took over.
My instincts kicked in.
Cos you've been trained
to behave like that,
to be in a state of alertness,
aggression.
You can't just switch that off
when you get back.
When I joined 11 EOD,
I thought I was the dog's bollocks.
You, c*ck?
Never.
I nearly died on my first call out.
I'd missed a secondary
that Terry had put in the hallway.
Stood back to admire my work.
Nut screamed at me to freeze.
I was inches away.
When you're looking at the big
picture, you miss the detail.
Yeah, Nut used to say
we've gotta be lucky
every time we step up to a device.
b*mber's only got to be lucky once.
And Nut's luck ran out.
Bollocks!
I froze at that mosque, Karl.
That happens.
I'm scared the next time
I step up to a device
I'm not gonna know what I'm doing.
I'm scared I've lost my nerve.
I'm scared of taking up Nut's nine
lives, scared I'm gonna lose my job.
Fear's what drives us on.
It's when you lose that fear
that you need to worry.
You've just lost your mate.
Give yourself a break.
Nut would have dealt with
that device.
You don't know that.
Why beat yourself up
over things you can't change?
Right, let me kick your a*s
at this f*cking game.
Oof.
Mmm, good news.
Managed to get clearer CCTV pictures
of the mosque b*mber,
few streets away from the site.
We were able to identify him through
our police records. Nic Roberts.
Record as long as your arm.
Violent as*ault, armed robbery.
Member of English Flag
till last year.
Any record of expl*sives training?
We're still digging.
b*stard.
Yeah, we've got an alert for him.
There's been sightings
across London.
I mean, we're running down
all known addresses.
Just a matter of time.
Great.
Who's that?
Er, it's just Danny.
Some stupid GIF.
Um, has, er, Hamilton been able to
get in touch with Porton Down
about HMX-319?
We're on it.
You finished?
Yeah.
Is that Danny again?
Yeah.
Can I just-just for a minute?
Sorry, just for a minute.
Um, it's been on my mind. We never
had time to talk about the mosque.
His name was Ali.
He was married,
he had two kids under three.
And I failed him.
I failed his family.
But you know you didn't.
Firstly, you didn't,
cos you didn't have a choice.
It was a complex device, Lana. There
was literally nothing you could do.
You were up against all of it.
I know. I know.
I know.
Cos if you weren't in the right
place, or you weren't feeling OK,
you-you could feel like
you could talk to me.
Yeah. Course I would.
Cos I love you.
And I just wanna protect you.
I've been thinking about it
for a while.
Might be an idea for you
to move in here with me, you know?
What?
Well, you like the place.
Well...
It would be nice to spend more time
together. Mmm.
Outside the office, away from work.
It's sorted, then.
Oh! Sorry, Lana,
I didn't realise you were here,
otherwise I would have got you one.
You're OK,
don't worry about it.
All right, Wash?
Yeah.
I'm sorry I went off on one.
It was out of order.
No danger, Wash,
we've all been there.
I shouldn't have had a go either.
There's some nutter out there.
We need to be on our game. There's
no point fighting amongst ourselves.
'Far-right group the Crusaders
say they carried out the attack.
'Ayesha Campbell Khan,
the former Shadow Defence Minister,
'is standing as the Labour
parliamentary candidate
'leading a progressive alliance...'
So, you think it's some loon
that's doing this?
What do they reckon in CT?
They got a name or anything?
I don't know. Don't ask me.
Doesn't your fella tell you nothing?
What are you on about?
Come on!
'..worshippers
in the Amburiq Mosque,
'but earlier, we caught up with her
on a visit to the Westhaven Estate,
'devastated by the worst attack
in this summer's bombing campaign.'
'We all feel the pain
of this community.'
Oh, here we go.
Typical leftie,
siding with the enemy.
Enemy?
We must bring
these murderers to justice.
'..after candidate
Agatha Jack...'
Danny, I'm off to BDC.
See you in a bit.
All right, mate.
Oh, God.
So, that's our confirmation, then.
HMX-319 compound.
Exact same levels that were
used at Westhaven as well. Yeah.
We're dealing with the same bombers
at Westhaven and the mosque.
The Crusaders are lying
about the mosque being revenge.
It's been them all along.
No response from Porton Down?
No, Thom... er, DI Youngblood hasn't
even asked Hamilton for clearance.
Well, you need to tell Thom
to get on it, then.
You know if I hadn't told you
about me and Thom,
do you think you'd know?
Is it that obvious?
No, not at all. Why?
It's just John said summat at work
today.
I don't know how he'd know,
unless he...
Danny.
On my way.
The Crusaders
have planted another device.
This is EXPO 2. What can you see?
'OK, so we've got a stationary
black van outside an LGBT pub,
'the Five Oaks.
Noticeable sag at the rear axle.'
Right, get everyone as far away from
the van as possible.
We're nearly there.
'Yeah, received.'
Move, Danny, move.
Copy.
Can you just keep them
moving down?
Further down!
Take them beyond the cones!
Behind the cordon!
Keep them moving!
Thank you.
Who's told them
to come through that cordon?
Quick as you can, Danny,
straight to there.
Truck arrived at 6:00pm.
Bar staff thought it
was a beer delivery
till the driver did a runner.
At 6:25pm, the Crusaders sent us
an encrypted message
claiming responsibility.
Is there anyone left inside?
No.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Danny, eyeballs.
What have we got?
Er, we've got a big sag at
the rear axle, that black van.
The pub's been evacuated
and everyone has been taken
beyond the cordon.
It's well down on the back end.
Yeah.
Must be enough expl*sive in there
to take down the whole street.
All right, carefully open the door.
Must be a rental.
No-one keeps their motor that clean.
No wires.
All right, let's push on.
Come on out.
Get down!
Take cover.
We've got a sh**ter somewhere.
sh*t.
Lana, robot's been hit. It's gone.
f*ck's sake!
See anything? Eyes on?
Nothing. No visual.
sn*per, top floor.
Central Eight Five,
we have visual confirmation.
We have a sn*per on the top floor
flat opposite the Five Oaks pub.
Requesting additional firearms
support team immediately.
Preparing to move! Move! Move!
This is Central Eight Five,
requesting air support as well.
Randall, take Carney,
head towards the target. Go.
sh*t!
'ETA, three minutes.'
Central Eight Five, received. Air
support incoming, three minutes.
Hey.
The boot's fully loaded.
If it functions,
it will total the whole street.
A single shot
could trigger the device.
Well, we know where he is.
What do we do now?
Danny, pigstick bag, now.
Robins, I need smoke grenades, now.
Get the smoke bombs out
the back of the truck.
Come on, come on, come on.
We good?
Yeah.
Sam, we're gonna redeploy
to the tower block.
Go.
Green Team, on me.
f*ck!
Which floor?
Floor 17, top left.
Breach! Breach!
Armed police!
Armed police!
Armed police!
Lana! The smoke's thinning.
Lana, the smoke!
Danny, I'm nearly there!
Armed police!
Armed police!
Charlie Delta, take the stairs. Go!
Armed police!
Armed police!
Danny!
Yeah!
I've got the shot.
As soon as I hit the corner,
take the shot.
Lana, you're in the danger zone.
f*ck!
Take the shot! That's an order!
Circuit's good.
Priming. Stand by.
Firing.
This is EXPO 2. Device neutralised.
Repeat, device neutralised.
Charlie Delta, I'll go the lifts.
Stay vigilant
and await further instructions.
Trojan Four Seven, received.
Take best cover.
Stay there!
Down, now, move. Get down, get down!
Down, everybody down!
Trojan Four Seven to Trojan One,
residents are trying to leave.
Let them through,
but stay switched on.
Armed police!
Armed police!
Steady.
Stay still!
Suspect down. Ground floor lifts.
EXPO, on me, now.
'EXPO 2, coming in.'
Stay away!
Armed police!
All yours, Washington.
Clear.
Stand easy.
It's real.
Danny,
get ready to set up a controlled.
Just pull that down for me.
You got an ID?
Think it's our man.
Nic Roberts.
Yeah, I reckon so.
Danny, make this quick, yeah?
Yes, ma'am.
I'll speak to Sonya about forensics
on the device. Yeah, OK.
It was good work back there
with the smoke grenades.
Not exactly by the book, though.
This is not Afghanistan, Lana.
Yeah, well, it was a volatile
device. I had to move quick.
Thom.
Yeah, coming.
He wasn't responding to radio comms.
The gaffer send me up here
to check on him,
and he was just lying there.
Carney, you need to report
for forensic recovery.
Sir.
His missus is six months' pregnant.
Brown, um, go and write up your
report. Both of you get some rest.
Yeah. We've all had a long day.
OK, lads. Let's go.
Believe me when I say this -
we will catch these b*stards.
Simon Randall
was k*lled at the scene.
Here's where we are.
We now believe that there's
a single bombing campaign
run by one group: The Crusaders.
We know at least one member
of the cell - Nic Roberts,
the suspect we shot,
Crusader number one.
But there's at least
one other member, possibly more.
They've attacked a housing estate,
a mosque, and now the Five Oaks pub,
an LGBT venue.
We know they're highly skilled
with both expl*sives and weapons.
We know they're attacking
public sites in London,
and we know they meant for us
to trace their getaway van
to the supposed b*mb factory.
But we don't know why,
and we don't know why now.
Samira.
Andrew Phelan.
We now know he was Nic Roberts'
cell mate in Ashcombe prison
for three months in 2015.
We brought him in for an interview.
What's this about?
I've told you everything!
Do you know this man?
f*ck! Nic!
Nic Roberts. What's that psycho
gotta do with anything?
This is the man we think was
behind the bombs at Amburiq Mosque,
the Five Oaks pub and Westhaven.
Westhaven?
Is there a reason you stopped
sharing a cell with him?
Cos he attacked me,
tried to stab me in the neck!
He's a paranoid psycho.
Thought I was grassing him up.
We think Nic Roberts had
a personal grudge against Phelan,
which is why the Crusaders
chose to use him as a patsy.
Sacrifice him as an excuse
to kick off their campaign.
Nic Roberts ran at armed police
in a suicide belt.
If the far-right
are now using suicide tactics,
this is a worrying development.
What does the CCTV
from the tower block tell us
about the second Crusader
who k*lled Randall?
We have an extra police officer
who's been unaccounted for
in our scene log.
This is him leaving the building,
and then he slips
out with the crowd, and from there
he gets into a white Prius, Romeo,
X-ray, one, zero, X-ray, Mike, Golf.
We're still
searching for the vehicle,
but obviously a Prius
is a popular make.
We're looking for an Uber
in a haystack.
As we saw at Amburiq, the attackers
know where the CCTV cameras are.
Forensics detected no
g*nsh*t residue on Nic Roberts.
Crusader Two was our g*nman.
He knows how to move.
Knows how to behave
like a firearms officer.
Potentially someone with training,
then.
OK, let's focus on Crusader
number two, who is still at large.
Get onto Thames House.
Crosscheck all military personnel,
active and past,
with membership records
of English Flag.
If that still leaves us
with a broad range,
narrow it down specifically
to personnel with firearms training.
Let's check on every single contact
Nic Roberts has.
Anyone he knew inside, anyone else
who was in the EF with him,
friends, other g*ng members.
This is a lot to organise
for a two-man cell.
I want supply chains, hideouts.
Get on your informers. Ask around.
Someone knows something.
One last thing.
Nic Roberts didn't have
b*mb-making training,
so either attacker two does
or there's another member
of the cell, the b*mb-maker.
Let's locate him and find out.
Ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey.
Sonya, come and look at this.
Feel like summat's staring me
in the face.
Any luck tracing the device
from the brewery van? No, not yet.
These are from Vauxhall, right?
Yeah.
Hang on.
Look at this from the first device
at Westhaven,
the direction that
the wires are twisted,
and the way the cables are cut.
It's the same technique.
It's military training.
Everyone that did high-level
training cuts their cables
and twists their wires like that.
That's how I do it.
They know how to bypass our ECM,
they know where to put
the secondaries,
they know call-out times, how
we think, how we move - everything.
It's got to be an inside man.
Danny, Danny.
Bloody hell, have you got
enough aftershave on?
Why, what's wrong?
Bit strong, no?
Oh, please.
Didn't know you could even shave.
Wash, coming for a sarnie?
Senior buys.
No, I've got paperwork.
Next time.
All right, see you later.
See you in a bit.
