04x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

Is the clock bothering you?

No.

You're the first ammunition technician

I've had in here.

EXPO. Sorry.

Look, don't take this the wrong way,

but I just really hoped this time
I would get someone

with the right experience, that's all.

And is that what the problem's been
the last 12 months?

Not just the last 12 months.
But you're still here, so...

Yeah, because I have to be,
otherwise I can't do the job.

So, you think you're fine?

Pretty much.

Right.

So, what about the drug abuse?

Drug ABUSE? Yeah.
f*cking hell, that's a bit heavy.

It's what I've got in the notes.
It's what it says.

Well, your notes are wrong.
I was self-medicating, and...

now I'm not.

And the PTSD? You've living with it.

I get that. Lots of people do.
Have you got a lid on it?

I can see what you're trying to do here.

I'm not trying to do anything,

except try and find out
what I'm dealing with.

I could reel off my CV.

No. I'm not gonna.

Won't make you feel better.

Or I could tell you about the progress

some of the other people
who come here have made with us.

And some of those people...

they're really mad b*stards.

That's not gonna help you either, is it?

You have to want to be here.

If this is just
a box-ticking exercise, I'm out.

You're out? Yeah.

Quickest one yet.

It's hard for me to want to be here. Why?

Is it because there's
some kind of acceptance in it?

That you being here
means you're accepting

that you are a little bit broken
in some way.

Sure, I'm a little bit broken.

Right, well, I mean,
we're all broken, aren't we? Great.

I want to keep it simple
between you and I. So, kick us off.

Tell me what you like about it.
About the job?

No, f*cking Bake Off.

Course the job. Come on.
What do you like about it?

All right.

When you're on the approach to
something you know nothing about...

that's exciting.

And then there are...

times when you can't help
but think, "Is this it?"

"Is this the last one?"

'Twenty seconds. Prepare for impact.'

All good?

'Ten seconds.

'Stand by.'

'EXPO 1, this is Bronze Command.'

Our intelligence says
the device is loaded onto a pallet

ready for transportation by lorry.

There is intent to detonate
the device in the City this morning.

Find the pallet. Stop the lorry.

OK, well, there's no lorries here.

So, any news on the device itself?

No, we're still waiting
on that information from MI5.

The pallet was part of a larger shipment

that was discovered
by an anti-smuggling op

that was undertaken
by the Security Service

and our CTSFOs a few hours ago.

You didn't tell me there were
spooks involved, Phil.

Secret, innit? That's all we need.

Let's go. Let's go!

Pallet designation is India 7.

Copy that. Where the f*ck is everyone?

India seen? Trojan 2, circle round
to the left of entry point.

'Let's go.'

We're approaching the aisle now.

'The intelligence was very specific.
One pallet in India 7.'

India 7 is empty. There's nothing here.

Bronze Command, EXPO 1.
We've covered all ground.

There's no pallet, no vehicles, nothing.

Did they get you out of bed?

Lucky your mum was there
to wake me up.

Arsehole.

Alert all relevant government agencies

and notify COBRA.

We have a potential
vehicle-borne IED on the move.

Sir. Brenton.

Sir?

Neil, we don't have time
to set up a CTPOR.

Notify the Commander
the ops room will be here. OK?

Surveillance, Intelligence, Firearms. OK?

Just make sure everyone knows
their section. Yes, Sir.

Amar.

Can your colleagues at Thames House

give us any details on the device yet?

My department assures me
every effort is being made

to get that information
as soon as possible.

Yeah, well, I have officers

and EXPOs working blind, Mr Oldfield.

They need more than MI5's assurances.

Understood.

Wash, CCTV from
a neighbouring building.

Lorry left 20 minutes ago.

So, we just missed it?

This is the only vehicle seen
in the last 12 hours.

Sounds like our b*mber.

You get that, DC Hackett?

Yes, Sir.
OK. CCTV, ANPR, all deployed units.

OK? Let's find that vehicle.
All units, VRN priority search.

Helen, do you not think
that you should be out there,

get your eyes on the situation?

Well, we don't yet know
the scope of the operation.

Might be better if I get across
the detail here, Sir.

Yeah, OK.

Er, Neil? You go.

Sir.

VRN found. ANPR on the approach
to Wandsworth Roundabout.

OK, put it up on the screen.

Danny, Hass is gonna come with us.
Wren, you follow. Gotcha.

Where are we going?
We've got a lorry to catch.

Let's go.

Let's go, go, go.

'Foxtrot 4 to Control.
Now tracking the suspect vehicle.'

'Target acquired.'

OK. Follow car has acquired
the target vehicle.

That blue marker...

that's gonna be their location
from now on.

Good work.

Sir? What is it?

We have another problem.

'EXPO 1, to confirm,
it's a seven-and-a-half-tonne lorry

'heading east towards Central London.'

The type of expl*sive is still not clear,

but the intelligence comes
from a STRAP 3 source,

so whatever it is,
we expect it to be significant.

Understood, Bronze Command.

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.

Confirm surveillance drone
shadowing the lorry,

maintaining speed
at one-seven miles per hour.

CAA sending position marker now.

The drone's course
is holding the line of the river.

Why would it do that?
Fewer obstructions to the signal.

EXPO 1, I believe
that the drone is designed

to make sure the lorry reaches its target.

It's watching.

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

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

The lorry'll detonate.

That's correct.

I know where it's headed.

'Control to Foxtrot 4,
standby to change over.'

'Foxtrot 3, in position.

'Foxtrot 3, handover complete.

'Now tracking the vehicle to the target.'

Your new intel is significant,

but our strategic intention remains
the same - minimise loss of life,

minimise damage to property,

and identify those who are responsible.

It shouldn't be on the road a second
longer than it has to be, but...

We move on it without EOD support,
and we will have casualties.

But... I support your decision.

Keep the lorry on the road.

Morning. Ma'am.

Andy. Ma'am.

Bring me up to speed.

Well, an anti-smuggling operation

at 03:45 this morning discovered
documentation relating to the supply

of a large expl*sive device
to an as-yet-unidentified group.

That device is now travelling
on a lorry, which we are tracking.

It's clear that the group
intend a detonation

in the capital this morning.

A further sweep
of the smugglers' electronic devices

by the Security Service
has just revealed the target

to be the Bank of England.

And the unidentified drone
following the VBIED

is what's preventing us
from an immediate stop and search?

Ma'am.

And we're sure of the target?
Yes, Ma'am.

The target is now confirmed.

'It's the Bank of England.'

Bronze Command, it'll take them
a while to get there.

We'll get ahead, if you can
find us an intercept point.

Also, what's happening
with getting this drone down?

Aviation Policing Command

are getting an anti-drone weapon
to CTSFOs.

OK. We're gonna need to change
into an unmarked vehicle.

We can't have the drone
seeing a police car nearby.

Yeah, we can sort that.

We'll set an RV for you to do the switch.

'Understood. Send us details.
We'll head there now.'

OK. Now handing over
to Gold Command.

Copy that. Right, let's get on it. Yeah.

You have command, Ma'am.

This is Commander Nia Quentin.
The time is 08:32.

This recording device
ensures an accurate record

of decisions made here today.

Let's get into it, then.

Trojan 1, what's happening
with the anti-drone weapon?

'The weapon is an M4 shotgun.
It's the round that's specialist.'

OK, great. What's special about it?

'It fires five projectiles
connected by string.'

It wraps around the drone,
neutralises the body.

Where is it? On its way from Heathrow.

Heathrow?
That's not getting there in time.

We can't move on that lorry
whilst the drone is still up there.

Trojan 1, can't you sh**t it down?
'It's possible.'

It'd have to be a bloody good shot.
Problem is, if we miss...

Then you've got a stray b*llet
flying through the City.

I get it. OK, we'll... we'll move to plan B.

Which is what? I don't know.

You'd better think of something,
then, innit?

Why don't you think of something?

Just saying.

'EXPO 1 Bravo, we're arriving at the RV.'

Gold Command, EXPO 1.
I think I've got a plan.

'Yeah, go ahead, EXPO 1.'

We need to find a suitable location
for a covert interception.

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

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

So we need some sort of cover.

'Anywhere between
the lorry's current location

'and the Bank of England.'

You mean like a bridge, underpass,
kind of thing? 'Yeah.'

The wider the better.
Buy us as much time as possible.

'But the drone will know
once it doesn't emerge.'

Yeah, I know. That's why we need
to keep the lorry moving.

OK, here.

If he's headed for the Bank of England,

the quickest way is via that tunnel.
The quickest way can change.

We'll have to make sure it doesn't.

Just need roadblocks
on all alternative routes.

We can make it look like construction.

RTAs, anything that's not us.

Yeah, good.

This is your new vehicle.
Thanks, Brenton.

We've got a location.

OK.

Right, we're gonna conduct
a hard stop here in the tunnel.

You and your team
are gonna neutralise the driver.

Hass, we need to jump on that lorry
as fast as we can.

Gotcha. How long have we got
before the drone notices?

Well, judging by the length of the tunnel

and 20mph speed limit,
I'd say no more than 90 seconds.

Ninety seconds? Yeah.

Gotta love the challenge, right?

And what about this device?
Will the driver have manual control?

It's impossible to know,
but let's assume that he does.

If you see him reach for something,
drop him.

Copy that.

Danny's gonna be on the jammers,
and you can follow.

Ninety seconds to get onto that lorry

before the drone figures out
what's going on? Yeah.

Listen, I'm not expecting anybody
to take any unnecessary risks

I wouldn't take myself,

so we move in fast, and we get out alive.

Yeah. Yeah.

Wash, ready to go?

Yeah. Let's go.

Trojan 1, what's your ETA?
'This is Trojan 1.

'We'll be there in one minute.'

Get ready.

'Foxtrot 3 to Control.

'Suspect vehicle expected to cross
the river at Waterloo Bridge.

'Vehicle on course to intercept.'

'Trojan 2 to Gold Command.
EXPO 1 Bravo now in tunnel.'

'Control to Gold Command.
All teams now in situ.'

I'll wait here. Sounds like a plan.

- Ma'am, good luck.
- Let's go.

Hass. Yeah. Let's do this.

Let's keep the traffic moving.

We don't want anything
to give our position away.

Trojan 2, request tunnel to remain open.

We've got two positions...
one here, one round the corner.

All set, Trojan 1.

Take position.

Our insurance policy.

If he won't stop,
we'll use the stinger on his tyres.

That will give us 90 seconds
to defuse the device.

Well, I guess we'll have to
get ready to run, then.

'Foxtrot 3 to Control. We're on
the final approach to the tunnel.'

EXPO 1, we're in your hands.

It's imperative you do not
let that device go off.

Gold Command, we haven't met before,
but you'll soon learn...

'..fruit goes off...' And bombs explode.

Bombs explode.

'Suspect vehicle will be
in the tunnel in ten seconds.

'Five, four, three,

'two, one.'

Stand by.

Wait. We let him get as close as we can.

Go, go, go.

- Armed police!
- Armed police! Stop!

Armed police. Let go of the wheel!

Do not move! Armed police!

Let go of the steering wheel!
Don't move!

Don't move. Look at me. Look at me.

Do not move. Look at me.

Shots fired. Shots fired.
Suspect is down.

Get him out of there.

Out, out, out, out.

Yeah, I'm in, I'm in.

'Weapon found. Weapon secured.'

EXPO 1 to Command.

There are multiple pallets inside the lorry.

Drone is making its way
towards the tunnel exit.

Sixty seconds gone.

Hold him there.

'Securing the driver now.

'Request immediate medical
assistance for one T1 casualty.'

Drone has stopped above the tunnel.

It's waiting.

There are b*llet holes in the windscreen.

What, are you worried
about getting a chill?

What if the drone sees? You've got this.

'That's 90 seconds gone.'
Yeah, I'd better have this.

Right, let's go.

'OK, switching us to one-to-one comms.'

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hass, take it steady.

All right.

Is the drone still there?

Yep, it's still there.

Well, that's good, cos so are we.

'Gold Command, Trojan 1.

'Driver in custody
and receiving medical attention.

'g*nsh*t wound is not life-threatening.

'EXPO's in control of target vehicle
and on the move.'

No unnecessary risks, you said,

and here I am driving
a seven-and-a-half-tonne b*mb

through the streets of London.

Yeah, that's cos you love me.

You're delusional.

I heard that.

Gold Command, EXPO 8 here.

Target confirmed.

Satnav destination, the Bank of England.

'Received.

'We've put in road closures en route
to maximise the time you have.'

You must disarm this device
before it reaches its target.

'Copy that.'

The impact in the City
would be too devastating.

'Copy. Out.'

'How long does that give us?'
Thirteen minutes, Wash.

Thirteen minutes.

Where the f*cking hell is it gonna be?

'Wash, what can you see?'

Load of small boxes, industrial sh*t.

It's not obvious.

So much for Security Service intel.

Yeah, tell me about it.

'Right, I'm just assessing it all now.'

OK, we've got eight pallets.

Three of no interest.

Two probables. The rest are possibles.

Start with you.

'Gold Command to Trojan 2.

'The suspect will be questioned
on arrival at the RV.

'Central 1-3 is awaiting you.'

Copy that, Gold Command.

No ID on the driver,

but there is a business card
with a company name.

"Quick 2 Carry Couriers."

'Two as in the number.

'No contact details on the card. Over.'

OK, headquarters are in London.

Nearby.

Could be where they're operating from.

We could have a look.

Yeah.
OK, but not without CTSFO support.

The people behind this attack have
both the intent and the capability

of causing mass casualties.

If this office has anything
to do with the device on the lorry,

we take no chances.

We need to act fast while this
vehicle is still on the road.

Ma'am.

Get me the full CTSFO support team,

and please would you authorise
dynamic entry, yeah?

Ambulance will be here soon.

You're gonna have to tell us
exactly where that device is.

Where the f*ck are you?

This is it.

The courier's office
is on the lower ground floor

at the front of the building.

We'll await your clearance. Sir.

Trojan 3, go.

Run round.

'Bronze Command,
Trojan 3 entering lower ground.

'Heading to the front of the building.'

Let's try this again, shall we?

Did you place the device
on the lorry yourself?

Are you acting alone,
or are you part of a group?

Why do you want to attack the City?

You need to co-operate.

A lot of people could get hurt
if you don't start to talk.

Do you speak English?

'Gold Command to EXPO 8.

'The driver's refusing to talk.
Has the device been located yet?'

'Gold Command, EXPO 1 is still looking.'

EXPO 8, you cannot take that lorry
to its intended destination.

We needed that device disarmed by now.

If it comes to it,
you'll have to change course.

I know, I know.

f*ck's sake.

'Trojan 3 to Bronze Investigation 1.

'Lower ground floor is completely empty.

'There's no courier office here.'

Copy that.

Continue searching the rest
of the building, Trojan 3.

'Understood.
Heading to basement now, over.'

Sir?

What? Did you see something?

I don't know.

Well, your instincts are usually good.

If you think you saw something,
it's probably there.

I don't know. I can't be sure.
We should take a look.

Let's go.

Morgan?

OK, there's no sign of any devices.

I've got two pallets left,
but they're all small boxes.

Which are empty.

Clever b*stards.

sh*t.

Morgan, call this in. Sir.

OK, we've got a large main charge.

'sh*t. How many detonators?'

I can see two at the minute.

Right, we've got a third detonator.

'Jesus Christ.'

The expl*sives are connected
to a sat phone.

The ECMs aren't gonna work.

Switching channel.

EXPO 1 Bravo, are you still there?

'Right behind you.'

'Listen, the jammers aren't gonna work.

'They're using satellite.'

I could try knocking out the signal.

'EXPO 1 Bravo, that would scramble
my satnav as well.'

'No, just leave it.'

We need to stay en route.

Is there any news
on the anti-drone ammunition?

Checking now.

Control, Trojan 1.

Where the hell
is my anti-drone ammunition?

'Still travelling to you, Trojan 1.'

'Bronze Investigation, Trojan 3.

'Contact heard. Contact heard.
What is your status?

'Bronze Investigation, are you receiving?

'Bronze Investigation 2?

'Control, Trojan 3.'

'Possible contact IED.
Possible contact IED.'

'Bronze Investigation, are you receiving?'

'Bronze Investigation 2,
can you hear me?'

'Bronze Investigation 2,
are you receiving?'

'Bronze Investigation 2,

'we have visual confirmation
of contact on fourth floor.

'Can you confirm?

'Say again - fourth floor.
Can you confirm?

'Control, we are proceeding
to contact on fourth floor.'

'Trojan 3. Contact on fourth floor.

'Commencing search
for Bronze Investigation 1.'

I can't take this device
to its destination, mate.

I have to turn off.

Right, you do that and it'll detonate

and we'll both be goners.

Just listen to me and stay on track.

"Listen to me," she says.

Contact at 13 Collonby Road.

CTSFOs have lost comms
with Bronze Investigation 1.

OK, keep me updated as soon
as you have anything.

Ma'am.

They're practically on target.

If it explodes, there'll be carnage.

You need to make a choice.

OK, I'm calling it.

EXPO 8, do not proceed to target.

Say again, turn off the route.

'Hass, you turn off, the drone'll see.

'They'll trigger the device,
and then we will die.

'I can do this. Just give me the time.'

'EXPO 8, turn off the route.'
'Hass, listen to me.'

f*ck it.

We're f*cked. 'EXPO 8, turn...'

All right, we're doing it your way, mate.

Look, we've got under two minutes.

They've built a trap.

'What? What can you see?'

The first det is wired
through the expl*sive.

I think we've got
a collapsing circuit. 'sh*t!'

The detonator's been tampered with.

They've hidden another det.

'If you hadn't found that,
you would've cut the wrong wire.'

Whoa, Hass, steady! 'Sorry.

'Sorry, sorry.

'They know their stuff, Wash. Be careful.'

Yeah, I've got this.

Sixty seconds, Wash.

Please be smarter than them, mate.

Yeah, please just shut up for a minute.

OK.

OK.

'Twenty seconds now. Twenty seconds.'

The second det is done.
I just need to do the third.

'Wash, it's right up ahead.
We're practically there.'

Yes, Hass, I can hear you. f*ck's sake.

Steady!

Done, done!

f*cking legend.

Please, please, never ever, please,
ever do that to me again, please.

Did you fill your colostomy bag?

Many, many, many times.

This suits you.

Make Hass Great Again, innit? Again?

Shut it.

Nice of Wren to join us.

Good shot.
Your drone g*n showed up, then?

Yep.

Yeah, nice work. You too.

You all right? Yeah.

That was a close one.

OK? Hey. Any clues
as to who it could've been?

Well, no, but the amount
of expl*sives in that lot...

What the f*ck was that?

That was a detonation.

Over there.

'And are you ready for that?'

For it to be the last one?

I can't imagine you're talking about
the last bit of employment.

You put your life on the line every day.

Are you talking about dying?

Cos if you are, then I'd like to know.

Do you feel ready for that? For dying?

Yeah.

That's the job.

You're white-knuckling it.

I've no doubt you've got your sh*t
squared away.

And I'm looking at your notes

and this last 12 months
and the therapists that you've met

and I know that every single bit
of progress you have made

has been down to you, you alone.

Thank you.

But you're on a knife-edge.

We have got a lot to talk about.

But I need you to want to be here.

I want to.

We start afresh when you come again.

When we've got more time, yeah? Yeah.

- Another device.
- That's out east.

f*ck.

What the f*ck! Jesus Christ.
