We are officers of the
state. We do not play God.

- What god will save these people?
- Sea levels are rising.

Oil's running out.
Terrorists are going nuclear.

Do you really think this current
system is capable of dealing with that?

Adam!

Adam, it's Ros, can you
hear me? Are you hurt? Adam!

You're all aware that on the last
mission I had a... a bad moment.

I'd appreciate it if this
just stayed in the team.

I don't think Harry
needs to know.

- Are you seeking treatment?
- For what?

Well, I think nowadays they call it
post-traumatic stress disorder, but...

I still prefer burn-out.

Sometimes I think it was stupid,
selfish of us, to have a child.

What kind of a world's
he going to know?

The Met Office has issued a
flood warning to south-east England.

A depression in Scotland is now
moving down into the North Sea.

Low barometric pressure, plus one
of the highest spring tides in 50 years,

is likely to result in high water levels in
the Humber, Stour, and Thames estuaries.

The effects of a severe flood in
London would be catastrophic.

The London Underground
would be paralysed.

Flood defences are being
activated. The authorities are confident

that these defences are
sufficient to repel a tidal surge.

Robert Cash, DEFRA.

I'm with the
International Delegation.

Thank you, sir. We've been
expecting you. Carry on.

No, Mum, of course it's not a
hassle. I really want to see you.

I'll call you on your mobile
if I'm going to be delayed.

Is it?

All right, well, I'd
better be on time, then.

OK, see you later.

Bye.

Good morning, everyone.
I'm Alan Jackson, your guide.

You've picked quite a day, what
with the depression on the Atlantic.

- So we heard.
- It'll get very busy later on,

so we should make a start.

..bringing new attention to
the threat of climate change.

In a recent study...

Morning, Carlo.

Thank you. And the
almond croissant.

Rush-hour traffic.

They should ban all cars.
Except mine. Thank you.

The central piers are off limits

and we keep professional and
academic visits to a minimum.

The closing operation is
managed from the South Bank,

but we have various on-site backup
systems in case of power failure.

We're about to enter one of
four central pier chambers.

Each of these piers houses
a gate weighing 3,700 tonnes

and standing as high
as a three-storey building.

Truth is, this little beauty
is London's guardian angel.

Without it, there'd
be no London.

- Shall we move on?
- No, you're OK.

We'll go on alone from here.

Go!

Move, move!

Oh, shit!

Shit!

It's my gym stuff, I
can't wear this to judo.

It's not your gym
stuff, it's your judo stuff.

It's your gym stuff, um...

Where's my recycling project?

On the coffee table, there,
where you were doing it last night.

- Oh, no, it's broken!
- What? No, it isn't. Come here.

Look at that.

That's brilliant.

They're going to love
it. Now, you take that.

I've got your judo kit.
Come on, quick, let's go.

No, I'm sorry, he's not around at
the moment. Can I take a message?

Dr. Jewell... could
he do Thursday?

Come on, move. Move!

Keep going.

Move! Out! Now! Out!

Turn round.

Right, you give this to the
British government. Go, go.

The terrorists are deep inside the
barrier, controlling the central two piers.

No news on casualties
but there were gunshots.

The PLA?

The cover story is they're
stopping all shipping.

- Any contact with the terrorists?
- Comms are down.

They should say it's a routine drill
and the barrier's being raised for testing.

Zaf, contact the
barrier security.

Say the home secretary's
quarantined all staff and visitors.

Make sure nobody
leaves the complex.

Confiscate all mobiles.

- This only gets to the press when we say.
- Adam.

COBRA will meet in 15 minutes.
Set up a secure negotiation line.

Deputy PM's on her way.

Deputy Prime Minister, welcome.

Joint chiefs of staff and barrier
engineers are waiting for you in COBRA.

Harry, this is Janet Wheeler,
the government's chief scientist.

Janet, how are you?

The prime minister has
authorised me to take the chair.

He will be in contact
throughout the day from Tokyo.

Any contact with the terrorists?

Divine Earth stormed the
barrier about 8.15 this morning.

Before sealing off the central barrier
area, they delivered a computer disc.

Our planet is dying.
Ice caps are melting.

Sea levels are rising
by many metres.

Southern Europe
will become a desert.

Northern Europe will experience a new
ice age where we'll all become casualties

of the climate's revenge
on mankind's insanity.

This is not tomorrow's problem.
The nightmare has already begun.

Unless our demands are met, we'll offer
London a warning of the chaos to come.

A chaos of our own creation.

What do we have on them?

Some form of environmental
terrorism not on our radar before.

CCTV footage from the
barrier's being sent over now.

General Clark, when
can we expect contact?

They've kept one telephone line open
from the barrier to the bankside control.

We've diverted the line to Thames House. My
senior officer is waiting for their call.

How long can we cope
without control of the barrier?

Deputy Prime Minister,
over the last few days

there has been a large low-pressure
system driving east over the Atlantic,

creating a surge of sea water.

This combined with a
high spring tide will produce

a six-metre wall of water in the
Thames estuary at 5 o'clock this evening.

This kind of tide happens
two or three times every year.

The levels have risen over the
last few years due to climate change.

The barrier would
cope without a problem.

- It's a stunning piece of engineering.
- Without the barrier?

The Environment Agency has
created a mapping programme

showing the extent of flooding in
London for every metre's height of water.

This surge would flood the Essex flatlands
and the Thames Gateway within minutes.

Within an hour, the Houses of
Parliament, Waterloo and Victoria stations

would be under
six feet of water.

This flood would extend to
Lambeth, Fulham, Hammersmith,

Putney, Barnes and as far
as Richmond and Twickenham.

Children, the old and the
ill will be the first victims.

Estimated death toll?

Without evacuation, 1.25
million people are at risk.

Deputy Prime Minister, we have a
phased city evacuation plan ready to go

and I have the necessary
troops standing by to enforce it.

I want to talk to these people
before we push any panic buttons.

Two men missing, presumed dead. The
guide was shot trying to raise the alarm,

and a civil servant, Robert
Cash, still unaccounted for.

- We need to keep this quiet.
- Sure.

Get back to me
when you've got it.

Dr. Jewell rang, I
said you'd ring back.

Right. Yeah, that's the, uh...

the shrink. I've been
seeing her a couple of times.

- How's that going?
- Fine. She's given me the all-clear.

Recommended a couple of extra
orange juices and go easy on the self-pity.

- So you're not seeing her anymore?
- What?

- You're not seeing her anymore?
- No.

Adam, we have something.

The delegates on the barrier are from
the Dutch Environmental Commission.

Unless we've declared a tulip
embargo, it's probably not the Dutch.

CCTV of the Dutch checking in
to the Fitzwallace Hotel last night.

And checking out this
morning. Different people.

They had full ID. Photocards,
paperwork, everything.

How did they manage to replace
a government commission?

And where are the delegates?

CCTV from the barrier entrance.

He's not exactly camera-shy.

Let's find out who he is.

Adam. Adam, they're calling!

This is Nick Harding for
the British government.

- Did you get the disc?
- Who am I speaking to?

That doesn't matter.

We're missing a civil servant, Robert
Cash, and a barrier guide, Alan Jackson.

Can you confirm what
happened to them?

We heard gunshots.

I'm sorry that happened,
but if people don't listen,

they may suffer
the consequences.

What do you want?

The British government are
in possession of a document.

- It's called "Aftermath".
- Never heard of it.

- It exists.
- What is it?

- You'll find that out when you publish it.
- And if we refuse?

We won't close the gates
for the high tide tonight,

and at 5 o'clock this
evening, London floods.

And if we publish it?

We'll leave the barrier and
give ourselves up for arrest.

- How do I know I can trust you?
- I'll call you at 10.45.

Try anything silly, we blow the
hydraulics on all four central piers.

Three-pound of Grade A Semtex.

And if that goes up,
the barrier never closes.

The Dutch delegates were
tied up in their hotel room.

Have we got anything
on "Aftermath"?

The obvious assumption was
an environmental connection,

but no environmental or rural issue on
DEFRA's databases mentions "Aftermath".

Government strategy on the effects
of chemical and biological attacks

- on major cities make no mention of it.
- Nuclear?

- Same story.
- All we've come up with

is a mental health charity
and a rock band in Iowa.

For God's sake, Malcolm, this isn't a
bloody joke. They're playing with us.

They're using a fictional document to
justify doing as much damage as possible.

We get the blame and they
become martyrs to the cause.

I'm going to brief COBRA.

- Ros, you look after things from here.
- Sure.

This is Dr. Susan Gold, Head of Psychiatry
at the Merlin Institute in Roehampton.

Yeah, I'm sending through
request form P334 now.

Come on, Harry, is
the best you can do?

We still have seven hours.

We can't negotiate over
something that doesn't exist.

They don't want money
so we have nothing to offer.

- There must be something.
- They have CCTV monitoring the tunnels.

We can't get at them or the
explosives without being seen.

They've cut power, heating,
air supply. It's like a fortress.

Why have they
cut the air supply?

- In case we use the vents to get at them.
- Could we?

We'd need the power back on.

Can we reconnect the
power to the air supply?

The main circuit's destroyed.
There's a power intercept box

halfway across the tunnel
leading from the north side.

You'd have to avoid
the cameras to get to it.

We could go along the plant
tunnel underneath the floor.

Then what?

You could redirect the power
for the air supply to the mains.

It's a different circuit to the
one that they've destroyed.

We reconnect the air supply...

And then we gas them.

It'd have to work instantaneously,
otherwise they'd detect it.

How big a space
are we dealing with?

The central pier, lower section,
it's a 16 by 10 metre space.

Who's going in?

We have a special
operatives unit on standby.

I'll take them in.

They'd never find the
intercept box in the darkness.

I know it better than
anyone. I helped design it.

- Let's get going.
- I'm requesting authority to use an opiate

of a lethally high concentration.
The effect will be instantaneous.

We can't afford to take any risks.
If just one of them remains alive...

I can't stop my hands shaking.

Don't worry, Andrew,
you're going to be fine.

Andrew...

- Look, are you sure you're OK to do this?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

On second thoughts,
I'll come in with you.

- I always like to see a master at work.
- OK, great.

- Thanks.
- These are just a precaution.

We don't need to put
them on till the last minute.

They're in the tunnel.

I've checked the vetting
procedure for the delegation.

It's top security. They
couldn't have slipped through.

- Someone helped them?
- Who?

The only civil servant with access
to all the papers was Robert Cash.

- I thought Cash was dead.
- No. That's what they wanted us to think.

He's with them. Jo, get
background ID on Cash. Everything.

He's worked at
DEFRA for six years.

No known connections with environment
groups but he visited America in 2005.

- Why?
- He went to New Orleans.

- Just after Katrina.
- Did he go on behalf of the government?

No, he went on
an emergency visa.

- Why an emergency visa?
- His daughter.

She died in the flood.
They never found the body.

OK, it's here.

- All yours.
- Thanks.

Barrier records show that Cash went
on a preparatory site visit two days ago

with a junior from DEFRA.

They spent 20 minutes
on the barrier alone.

- What was the name of the junior?
- Simon Ritter.

There is no Simon Ritter at the Department
of Environment and Rural Affairs.

- They've prepped the operation.
- Maybe they know about the intercept box.

We've got to isolate... Malcolm!

We've got to connect it to the mains
without turning everything else on.

- Malcolm, get Zaf out of there!
- I can't, he's out of signal range.

Five, three... no, six, zero.

- Is there a problem?
- It looks different.

- What does?
- The wiring.

Maybe it doesn't. It must
just be me. I've got it.

Andrew! Andrew, abort now!

- What the hell are you doing?
- I have no idea.

Yes, you do. What have you done?

Wait.

Sir, we've got to
get out of here now.

It was an anti-personnel
device. Sophisticated kit.

The explosion decapitated
him. He wouldn't have felt a thing.

Deputy Prime Minister, these
people are deadly serious.

I recommend a phased
evacuation according to

the London Resilience
Team strategy.

We don't have much time.
High tide is at 5 o'clock.

If we commit to evacuation,

people will die, and we set in
motion something we cannot control.

The Stock Exchange crashes,
the markets go into a tailspin,

money pours out of the UK
into anywhere that'll take it.

We enter a major
recession within hours.

I'm not giving these
people the satisfaction

of witnessing their own success.

We'll reconvene shortly.

In the meantime,

I'd like you all to
investigate other solutions.

- Why won't she evacuate?
- Something to hide?

We have a positive ID on the group.
He's the most interesting. Craig Fletcher.

He used to work with Rachel in
New Orleans and they were engaged.

Adam, Cash's daughter
Rachel was an activist

working with the poor black
community in New Orleans.

When Katrina hit
she disappeared.

Cash went over to find
her body but he never did.

In New Orleans he
met Craig Fletcher.

He worked for the same
environmental organisation as Rachel,

trying to raise awareness of
flood risk due to climate change.

They're doing all
this for a dead girl?

- Hell of a memorial.
- I'm on my way back.

Harry, this changes the
picture. They're acting out of grief.

We can't be sure what their
intentions are. I have to get in there.

You told me we could do
this without hurting anyone.

It was always a possibility, if
they didn't stick to their word.

Look, you've got to be
realistic about this, Robert.

We have committed to the
greater cause for Rachel.

We're making a difference to
this planet before it's too late.

OK?

OK, let's see if
they'll listen to us now.

I want to talk
about New Orleans.

I want to talk
about Rachel Cash.

Rachel disappeared in the
flood. She was never found.

That's what you and
Robert are doing there today.

I'm not interested in personal
conversations. Start evacuating.

Two people are dead already.
They had families, just like Rachel.

If we're to avoid more
killings, we need to talk now.

No way. No more
talking. We've had enough.

"Aftermath" exists.

- You said it didn't.
- I lied.

But we won't let you
have it unless we trust you.

- So we need to talk.
- So talk.

Not on the phone. Face to face.

- You've got to be kidding.
- Then there's no deal.

You have to work with us, Craig.

OK, come up the
north tunnel. Just you.

Don't forget, I've got someone
here with a finger on the detonator.

He had no authority
to make that decision.

Our best hope is to
negotiate face to face.

By confessing to some ridiculous
fiction? It weakens our position.

- "Aftermath" does not exist.
- It gets us closer to the target.

And then what?

What's he going to give
them at the end of it all?

The truth is simple. We have
nothing to offer these people

and the sooner they
find that out, the better.

This emits a tracker signal.
We'll be able to follow you.

Change the signal from red to green,
and we'll take it as an order to storm.

We need to get Divine Earth away
from the detonators and the CCTV.

It's the only way in, Adam.

Create enough of a distraction, to give
Special Forces the 30 seconds they need.

- Divide and rule.
- More information on Craig Fletcher.

Ex-soldier, joined up at 17 and
was stationed in Northern Ireland,

awarded a medal for
bravery when his unit in Belfast

was ambushed by an IRA hit squad.
He saved the lives of two fellow soldiers.

Fast-tracked to officer
training at Sandhurst.

Became a lieutenant in peace-keeping
forces in East Africa and Bosnia.

A spotless record. He retired
from the army with full honours.

And now he's on a mission to
avenge the death of his girlfriend.

Solo negotiation is extremely risky.
Don't take any unnecessary risks.

Don't worry, my doggy
paddle's unsurpassed.

Deputy Prime Minister.

It's the right decision.

We have to hold our nerve.

I'm... I'm on my way back now.

She's jumpy and I don't think
it's Divine Earth she's scared of.

- I think it's what they're after.
- Sorry, I don't quite follow.

I want to authorise a phone
tap. A somewhat sensitive one.

You don't mean...?

- That requires a signature from the PM.
- Not today.

You've been doing this almost as
long me. Does it smell right to you?

I don't feel
comfortable with this.

Report only to me. Write
nothing down. No traces.

- Zaf, are you OK?
- Yeah.

We shouldn't have
sent Starkey in there.

He wasn't ready for it.

Listen, I know this
probably isn't the right time.

I'm meant to be meeting my mum
at the Tate Modern at 5 o'clock.

- Have you tried calling her?
- Yeah, her phone's bust.

Jacket off, jewellery off.

- Where's Adam?
- He's gone.

- Gone where?
- The barrier.

- Get him on the phone.
- We can track him but we can't...

For the last three months he's been
suffering from acute post-traumatic stress.

Read the final paragraph.

"The patient agrees that continuing in his
current role he risks a nervous collapse.

"He will request immediate
leave from all duties."

Get me who wrote this.

Three pound of Semtex on
each hydraulic mechanism.

The monitors are being
watched at all times.

Anything strange on those
screens, or you try anything unwise,

she presses the button,
the whole thing goes up. OK?

Sit down.

Now, don't move.

- Adam's with them in the lower area.
- Harry?

Back in COBRA in five minutes.

I've downloaded every text
from Caroline Fox's phone today.

This one was sent at 11.47 to the
PM's private secretary, Michael Fitzgerald.

Five minutes after receiving Fox's text,
Fitzgerald called a private security firm

to deliver a parcel from
the back entrance of No 10

to an undisclosed address.

- This is DZ43.
- Central Office.

Your 12.30 pick-up's
been cancelled.

- Time for a coffee.
- Copy that.

Hello.

This is DZ Security
concerning your delivery pick-up.

- It's late, what's going on?
- I'm afraid the van's stuck in traffic.

It could be half an hour. I can
offer you a motorbike courier

with a secure lock-up facility,
in less than five minutes.

- I'm not sure how big the parcel is.
- Get me the motorbike. Fast.

Right away.

Z3, move into position.

Give him the access code.

"Aftermath".

A bilateral US-UK agreement

agreeing to end the fight
against global warming

and to focus strategy on maximising
economic, military and political influence

in a world devastated
by climate change.

We give up fighting
climate change.

And focus instead on being the first to
take advantage of the consequences.

"Aftermath" advocates methodical US
and UK acquisition of global fossil fuels

and other natural resources in
the 21st century in anticipation

of increasing resource scarcity,
oil depletion and spiralling prices.

It advocates sustained military operations
to secure natural resource networks.

It anticipates a global population
reduction of between 20 and 35 per cent.

This it describes as not only
an inevitability but a necessity.

Read the final recommendation.

The proposal
recommends implementing

a cosmetic series of environmental
measures to neutralise green lobbies,

whilst establishing a
stranglehold on carbon resources

in the next hundred years.

This will involve the reintroduction
of a full nuclear weapons programme,

to create effective deterrents
in an unstable global climate.

In short, a Cold War scenario
for the environmental age.

- Why did we not know this?
- It's in the early consultation stage.

Is that why you didn't
consult your chief scientist?

Not to mention military
chiefs, intelligence officials...

You're making senior
establishment figures look like boys.

The necessity for discretion
makes wide consultation impossible.

And who exactly are
you consulting with?

"Aftermath" is a
light-pencil proposal

that has been through no
kind of consultation process.

It must never be made public.

Why not? If that's what
you're really intending.

We publish that and basically we're
accepting the death of millions of people.

If anyone even suspects we
believe global warming will deliver

this degree of change...

- And you think it will?
- Of course.

Everything Janet's been
telling us tells us it will.

The point is, we can't stop it
without destroying our economies.

There's no way international governments
will collaborate in the way necessary

- for a unified battle to be fought.
- How do you know that?

Oh, come on, Janet.
You've been to Kyoto.

You think America will ever agree to
those cuts, let alone China and India?

And that's a fifth
of what's required.

If we go it alone it will cripple us. We'll
be the dinosaur of the global economy.

We must hold our position.

Then why not come
clean, open up the debate?

And watch confidence shatter?
There'd be a global crisis within days.

That's when the wars begin.

It strikes me that if "Aftermath" is
adopted then the wars will begin anyway.

This is a direct order from Downing
Street. It doesn't leave this room.

Yes.

You're asking me to
break the Hippocratic oath.

I have an operative in a
situation where one wrong decision

could cause the death
of thousands of people.

Adam Carter is suffering an acute
form of post-traumatic stress disorder.

He's experiencing
chronic flashbacks,

suicidal impulses
and manic episodes.

His condition is
rooted in survivor guilt.

He wishes he was dead
and that his wife was still alive.

We have to get
him off the operation.

We have no way of
communicating with him.

Diana, I'd like you to
stay here on the Grid.

Tell us about "Aftermath".

I haven't seen it.
It's highly classified.

But you know it exists.

I know they'll only
publish it if they trust you.

Why wouldn't they trust us?

You're at the centre
of the world's attention.

I'd just be tempted
to blow it anyway.

We don't want to blow the barrier.
We want you to publish "Aftermath".

Is that what you
want too, Craig?

- I've been reading your military record.
- What are you talking about?

The two soldiers who
were killed in Belfast.

He hid while two of his friends
were ambushed by an IRA hit squad.

It was advisable that Lt Fletcher
be released from the service.

That's utter bullshit.
I saved those men.

You have a history
of mental illness,

which is why we have our concerns
about guarantees you're giving us.

We've seen your medical
history, can you blame us

for suspecting that you've chosen
a decent man in a state of grief

- to fulfil some twisted fantasy?
- Robert, he's lying, don't fall for it.

The man you blew up at the
intercept was called Andrew Starkey.

He has three children.

Before you set that booby trap,

- did they say it was just a deterrent?
- It was.

Are you sure that some of these
people don't just want to punish the world?

Punish people like Andrew Starkey?
Like me? I have a son, eight years old.

He'll die. He knows more
about the environment than I do.

Who's to say he won't
end up like another Rachel?

That doesn't matter,
you just want blood!

Enough.

You know you're lying.

Craig.

Are you going to fire that?

Go on.

Show Robert what
you're really about.

Go on.

Harry, they'll be calling in 15
minutes. What do I offer them?

- Nothing.
- What about the document?

Nothing.

We don't have a Plan B.
If Adam doesn't succeed...

I know, but if we publish "Aftermath",
we enter the political unknown.

- What if he's not all right?
- I don't know, Ros.

- What's she doing?
- Janet, what are you playing at?

- What?
- Give that to me.

- What?
- Janet...

You're not going anywhere
with that document.

"Aftermath" is a wake-up
call the world needs.

We have a duty to publish it.

That's not for you to decide.
You're a servant of the state, as am I.

I am a woman of
individual conscience.

You think individual conscience is
in charge down there on the barrier?

You think they give a
damn about moral decency?

Yes. That's why I
told them, Harry.

Do you realise what you've done?

I had to know what was going on.

I've spent five years walking a tightrope
between doing my duty to my government

and duty to my planet and I have
been lied to, misled and ignored.

So you told Cash.

He came to me after
his daughter had died

because he was concerned
about government policy.

I thought that he
would go to the papers.

You have no idea
what is going on.

The world is living in a
state of wilful ignorance.

The warning signs are right in front
of our eyes and still we do nothing.

- This may be our way out of this.
- Yes.

Professor, no one knows what
you did and we can keep it that way

- if you help us.
- What do you want?

I want you to help us convince
Divine Earth we're publishing.

You're the one
person they'll believe.

We understand why you did
this but this is out of control.

You have to help us stop it.
You can save people's lives.

They have a website. That's
how I communicate with Robert.

I'm about to make the
call to your colleagues.

Do this without my support, and all
hope of any agreement goes with me.

- Maybe that's what you want.
- We all want the same thing.

Robert's a decent man who wants his
daughter's death to mean something.

Don't listen to him.
He's trying to divide us.

That's why you insisted that whatever
happened, you'd never blow the barrier.

This has never been
about blowing the barrier.

It's been about ensuring
Rachel didn't die in vain.

We don't want to kill people.

- Listen...
- No one's listening to you.

Just listen to me! A 50-page document
is not going to satisfy your friend.

He suffers from severe mental
imbalance. Absences, manic episodes.

We cannot do deals with him.

I need fully integrated website
and news footage convincing enough

- to support Janet Wheeler's message.
- Got it.

If Adam gives us the signal, how
can we trust him? He's been lying to us.

In his current state, Adam is likely
to take unnecessarily high risks.

How can you know for sure
what's going on in there?

I've conducted hundreds of operations
with Adam. I know how he works.

So you know that he has seriously
considered suicide in the last few weeks?

We have a fully prepared
alternative plan ready to go.

Harry, you've got
to understand -

he's deliberately putting
himself under immense pressure.

He's daring himself to crack.

Robert...

just, please, just...
walk out with me now.

That's all you have to
do. Just walk out with me.

Please believe me.

We won't publish with
this maniac in charge.

Right, that's enough!

I'm sorry, Craig.

I can't take the risk.

Look, can't you see
what he's trying to do?

Come on. Come
on, Robert, let's go.

Don't move.

Adam's signal's gone green.

Special Forces are
standing by on your order.

Harry.

Robert...

Walk over there and
pick up that phone.

Call my colleagues... and tell
them you're walking out with me.

You pick up that
phone, we'll shoot him.

Robert, just pick up the
phone. Pick up the phone.

We're never going to do
anything with this man in charge.

Don't you dare move.

Craig, you wouldn't shoot me.

I'm her father.

Is Mummy coming home?
Where's my mummy?

- I need to talk to you.
- No. I need to talk to you.

We're publishing "Aftermath".

They're publishing.

I have a timetable.

A press release will be sent to
the Press Association in one hour.

Also in one hour, the deputy
PM will speak to the House,

and the document
will be published in full.

We have a web connection.

If we see the document published on all
major websites, we'll close the barrier.

- You'll see it.
- Good.

And one more thing...

get rid of this madman.

Not a problem.

We need a guarantee of the safe
transfer of the barrier into our hands.

We'll find a suitable
replacement.

We'll be waiting for them.

Zaf?

He's on his way to
you now. Good luck.

You're not well, Adam.
Go home. Go home.

Are we dreaming? Are we
dreaming? Are we dreaming?

The document'll be
published in 20 minutes.

You can expect the political
effects to be unprecedented.

In publishing this
controversial document...

- How are we doing?
- A few minutes more.

Nearly there. Just need to paste
the deputy PM onto this website.

We've redirected their internet
connection to our server.

They'll see what
we want them to see.

- OK, it's done.
- In publishing this...

I want to send a message to Robert
Cash's website from Janet Wheeler.

Sending now.

Craig, it's from Janet.

It's true. They've published.

Check the rest of the web.

In publishing this
controversial document,

my primary aim
is to open debate.

- There will..
- Check another site.

..as to why the British people weren't told
the truth about "Aftermath" before now.

- I shall be tendering my resignation.
- Craig, it's everywhere.

So much for not
negotiating with terrorists.

They must have seen it by now.

Harry, Adam hasn't come out and
he's turned off his tracking device.

What's he playing at?

No! No!

No! No!

Keep Wes safe.
Promise me you will.

Wes has gone missing.
Wes has gone missing...

Daddy!

Fiona, I'm sorry.

Adam, you've got to get
out. Why wasn't it me?

Daddy. Daddy,
get up. Listen to me.

They've given us
what we asked for.

There's something
else we'd like to offer.

If you walk off the barrier now, we'll
say there were never any explosives.

You'll get off with a suspended
sentence for disturbing the peace

and become heroes of your cause.

Why do you want to do that?

We avoid the British public knowing
they were moments from a catastrophe.

We can all win.

All you have to do,
is walk out the door.

You've got what you
came for, haven't you?

This is what Rachel
would have wanted, Craig.

It's what we agreed.

Come on, we've done it.

I look at you and I see all those
politicians who've lied to me.

I see the United
Nations, US envoys.

In East Africa, they lied
about desert encroachment

while whole villages died of
starvation because their crops failed.

Liars.

Every single one of them.

- And you're lying to me now.
- I'm not lying.

You've seen the document.

You see, that's the thing...

I just don't believe you.

Please don't do this.

You have faith in people,
like Rachel, but they're lying.

- They're not!
- Afraid so.

- We've won, Craig.
- No, we haven't.

It's been too easy. They
never let you win that easily.

No.

Craig, we can't do this.

Say goodbye.

We were always
prepared to die for this.

Yes?

Yes?

- Hello?
- Tell them.

They're going to
blow the barrier.

- They've told me to say goodbye.
- No. No, wait...

They've cut the line!

- Can we storm?
- They'd see us coming.

- It would be tantamount to suicide.
- What if we evacuate now?

We can instigate Phase 1. Close
the Tube, get key figures out of the city.

Phases 2 and 3 are
no longer an option.

They're closing the barrier.

If they close it now while the tide
builds, then blow the hydraulics,

the water will force
the barrier to collapse.

It'll create a tidal
wave through London.

It'll rip out the entire
heart of the capital.

Excuse me.

- How's this going to help Rachel?
- You don't understand.

You never had any intention
of giving yourself up, did you?

I'm sorry,

but people only ever learn
from war and catastrophe.

- Has Adam signalled in?
- Not yet.

Think. Anything to
get to these bastards.

We've got just over
an hour till high tide.

Yes, hello, um, listen.

There's a woman,
possibly in a brown coat.

Um, she might be
standing outside your cafe.

Well, could you
take a closer look?

Well, just have a look, please!

No, wait, wait, don't hang
up. Listen, she's my mother,

and I really need to speak
to her... Hello? Hello?

Shit!

- Where is she?
- Tate Modern. Her phone's broken.

You have 20 minutes.

Malcolm... I think
I've got something.

Mum! Mum!

- Mum!
- You're early!

Thank God.

Listen to me. Mum, you
have to get out of here.

Go straight to London Bridge
and get a train south now, please.

- What?
- Listen to me.

Now, just calm down
and tell me what's wrong.

Mum, I don't work for a
newspaper, I work for MI5.

- Are you all right, Jo?
- I'm fine.

I work in Sector D
at Thames House.

I'm looking at you very calmly and
I'm telling you that you have to go now.

- But what about you?
- I'll be fine.

- But I can't leave you.
- I have to go. I'll call you, I promise.

We've closed the Tube,
citing a security alert.

The Army have mobilised
the trains and buses

but there are still thousands
of people in the danger zone.

The water on the seaward side
of the barrier is at record level.

- At 1700 hours an RAF Chinook...
- Zaf.

..to the Stanfield
Bunker which will serve

as operations base
till this crisis is over.

Deputy Prime Minister, I
think we can blow the chamber.

By closing the barrier, Divine Earth have
caused the water to rise on both sides.

The build-up of water
on the upriver side

means that the low water maintenance
tunnel is for the first time under water.

If we blow this from the outside,
the chamber will immediately flood.

The bomb will be rigged by a
diver using a waterproof explosive,

taking out a sizeable
section of the upriver

wall. The barrier will
remain unaffected.

- They wouldn't have time to detonate.
- Everyone in the chamber dies?

- Everyone.
- Including your own officers?

- Yes.
- We need to evacuate you to safe ground.

We need a decision now.

Do it.

- It's wrong.
- You have to.

You can't do this.
Don't do this, Craig.

Please, I know
how angry you are.

I know what you've seen.

This isn't what Rachel would
have wanted, killing ordinary people.

I loved your daughter but
this is nothing to do with her.

We did this in her name.

To get "Aftermath"
published, to raise awareness.

You can't read a
document to a sleeping man.

The human race
needs to be woken up.

Exactly how does what you're about
to do qualify as waking people up?

- You don't understand.
- You're killing people. Children.

You could have evacuated. You didn't. You
could have published. You didn't, did you?

When London floods,
someone will ask why we did it.

The people will find the
truth about "Aftermath".

What we're doing
will change the world.

- Next time, trust me.
- Next time, don't lie to me.

All communication
has been cut. Come on.

Detonation of upriver
wall in 30 seconds.

Adam! They can't
have just left us here!

They know we're down here.
Someone will come, someone will come!

Help!

It's bolted.

Help! Somebody!

Help!

Get us out!

Someone, please!

Send in the divers.

See if there were
any... survivors.

Just do it.

Harry, it was a 40lb bomb.

Are we dreaming, Daddy?

Are we in this dream together?

That's brilliant,
they're going to love it.
