Original subtitles

I shall be leaving for the Red Dawn immediately after this meeting. I do

the current climate is unfavourable for a visit by you, Prime Minister.

Well, running scared from the current climate's never done it any favour.

Anna, I can't tell you how relieved I was to hear you hadn't burned alive in

that hotel.

And I'll be back safely too.

You have to say that Georgia provided all the drugs.

No way. This will all blow over soon, as long as we stick to the script.

You need him to lie to Parliament.

That's what always gets him in the act. Have you ever seen a transformer?

They're not small, you know. So give me the lefty take on Harry Roundtree. He's

a thug and a bully, but he acts entirely on principle.

I have far.

Greater trust in people's justice than in the bleatings of the diversity lobby.

I really recommend you don't go outside, Prime Minister. The mood is very ugly.

There is no justice but the law in this country.

To the charlatans who try to make political capital out of the suffering

others, I say this.

There will be a reckoning.

I promise you, we will turn the lights on again.

Yeah, because of the situation on the A1, I've had to go up the M6 to cross

top of the North Benine.

Okay, what's your VTA?

Not long, I've just come off the A69 past Texham.

Hold on, there's a police checkpoint ahead.

I'm going to have to pull over.

Hold on, do you mean an army checkpoint? There's no police checkpoints on the

A69.

Not long, I've just come off the A69.

With looting a massive problem in the Red Zone and emergency services

overstretched and understaffed, the original protection patrols have merged

other civic groups under the umbrella term People's Justice.

I'm joined now by one of their members.

So, Scott Manette, who are People's Justice?

Just a collection of ordinary citizens organizing to support our communities.

Protect our vulnerable people and stop the looting.

Some people have accused you of being nothing more than vigilantes with an

undercurrent of racism.

Some people, well, that's obviously how the media in London wants people to see

things, aye? How do you see it?

Well, look around you.

Nobody cares about us unless there's an election on and there are afterwards

votes. And you lot, you call me and my friends and my family racist.

We hardly spend any time at all talking about immigration.

Where yous lot go on, you think it was the only thing we thought about?

I mean, if you're asking us what I think about what happened to that bloke who

got lynched, I think that was wrong. Of course I do.

But if we think that our kids should speak English at school in England and

we should be able to put our own flags up during the World Cup, then that

doesn't make us racist, does it?

Black people are proud of their culture.

Black is beautiful, that's what they say.

Now, why should we not say the same about white people?

Why should white be an insult?

You people, you talk about diversity, and you talk about respect, but then you

apply it to everyone except us.

Now, people who own the media, people who run things in this country, they

to make us out to be scum.

Even though it was my granddad who built the ships that made this country great,

and I actually fought for this country.

I'll tell you what it is, right?

Family comes first. That's obvious.

Then after that, it's country. It's culture and community.

And then if I've got anything left after them three, I'm happy to stick my hand

in my pocket.

Now, if you don't like that, take it up with 99 % of the people in this country,

and that includes the immigrants.

Kids on YouTube are doing the people justice salute now. They've gone

Yeah, no wonder with the coverage he's getting.

He's practically got a dedicated camera team following his every move.

I'll catch you later, Prime Minister.

We need to talk about the situation with Ellie.

It's who's dealing with it along with my wife. That's one of my concerns.

In the car, on the way to the red zone. No, I'm ahead within a spin about the

visits. It'll be fine. It won't, it won't. Stay in your lane, Anna.

Stay in my... Fraser.

Another fuel tanker's been hijacked in the red zone.

Only this time they picked up the driver, and he suffered a cardiac

Owen Harning.

Popular figure.

He's a couple of kids.

He's in intensive care.

Arrange for someone to speak to his wife. Make sure she has everything she

needs. The lorry driver's union are under pressure from some of their

call a national stoppage in protest of the latest attack.

Needless to say, a fuel delivery stoppage even for 24 hours would cripple

completely. So we bring in the army, confiscate their assets... I'll be

to Mr. Rountree this morning. Moving on, I understand the protection patrols are

now calling themselves People's Justice.

Snappy name.

And they have a new poster by de facto leader.

I should come back and check what's taken place.

Scott Arthur Minnette, former soldier who served honorably in Afghanistan, now

leading the People's Justice in the Red Zone.

He and his men have already seized valuable fuel reserves from various

locations.

He's well respected in the community.

Big family ties with four children from different previous relationships to whom

he is apparently devoted.

Two of his daughters are mixed race, by the way. Fraser, what about the red zone

transformer? First, we needed to check that it wasn't damaged at sea. It's in

Tilbury Docks, my staff are down there now.

But it will be moving soon?

Yes. Good.

Okay, I have to leave. Julian, you can take us through the rest.

It is customary for the Home Secretary... Left the realm of customary

ago, Archie.

Robert!

Give me a sec.

Will I have to start asking people to get you to pass me the salt?

You tried to ruin our trip to the Red Star with that interview.

Have you seen our approval ratings in this morning's YouGov?

Our as in the party? No, as in you and me.

You're riding a tiger here, aren't you? We both know how that one ends. I am the

fucking tiger, Robert.

You may be able to force me out, but can you get yourself in?

Parting one, aren't you?

She give you that line, did she? Oh, Anna? No, no, she's your biggest fan.

Sadly, it's not reciprocated, and I look forward to the day Dominic Knight takes

his rightful place in the policy unit again. That's the day I no longer may

the matter.

You know, one of the things I'd miss about not having the top job is trips to

foreign museums with no crowds.

Last time I was in Madrid, they took me around the Prado.

Anyway, one painting in there particularly caught my eye.

By Goya.

Two men in the mud beating each other to death with clubs.

I'll have to Google it when you do that.

I won't sack you if that's what you're looking for. I won't resign.

Hey, Fraser, it's Steph. Yep.

All going fine.

We're going to be on the road shortly, so I'll give you a ring when we get off

the M25.

Okay, bye.

Major incident has been declared.

The arrival of a super transformer from Germany has raised hopes that the power

crisis that has brought misery to Northumberland might be nearing an end.

Today, the Prime Minister, Robert Sutherland, restated his promise to turn

lights back on, while warning that the process of moving and installing the

transformer... might still take some time.

Critics argue that it is too little, too late, and the opposition has repeated

its call for him to resign.

You saw her serve it. Big deal. Wrecking out line of coat doesn't mean you

supplied it.

Bad optics.

I don't care about the optics.

Oh, I was fearing this, Pete, but nothing in this article means he bought

supplied the drugs.

The police will talk to her again.

Yeah, of course they will.

Anne is not coping well.

I know, but we will get her through this if we just hold the line.

Thank you, Peter. I know you understand what's at stake here.

Francine?

Prime Minister, my mole in the union tells me they're going to use this to

demand a review of the pay floor. Off the record, obviously. You think I

give it to them?

Yes, because it's actually the right thing to do.

Oh, well, higher lefties get lefties, I suppose. But no if you want him to back

off. Ultimately, he wants your head on a pike.

Well, must be doing something right then.

So, let's hear what Comrade Ramtree had to say. Can you show them in?

Prime Minister?

I'm disappointed to see you with this lot, Francine. In fairness, this lot

throw bricks at my office window.

Yet. You know, I didn't approve of the way you were handled by your

constituency.

Thank you. But working for them, it's like crossing a picket line.

But is it as bad as denying essential food and supplies to suffering people at

time of national emergency just to be Billy Big Bollock?

That's another reason why I miss you.

Doors always open.

I'll keep that in mind.

Shall we begin?

Time to show them we're not fucking around.

This is it.

You're that guy who was on the TV.

Aye. You know something?

I really don't like you.

No? No.

I think you're a snide, wrecked by your ma racist.

And don't try the ignored white working class number on me either.

If you're so hard working, how come you've got enough time in your hands to

such a cunt?

And who appointed you to represent anybody?

Do I fucking sound like I come from the London elite?

Do I fucking look like it?

No.

You know what I reckon about you?

I reckon you need a good night's sleep.

I am the gold commander.

Get your hands off my fucking shoulders now.

They're tense.

Get rid of these people.

He's armed, sir.

We don't have support.

Boy, we've got a lot of rabbits around here, don't we?

Sometimes we shoot them.

Just give us the keys, then.

You want to make me give them to you?

No, I think we'll manage without them.

What do you reckon, lads?

I'll be back after your long gun, son.

These are highly skilled drivers.

There are massive safety issues involved.

Owen Harding isn't the first to be attacked by these hijacking guns.

We did train soldiers during the last fuel crisis, remember?

Oh, and they're on call right now, are they? You need to get the tankers out of

the depots, which might not be so easy if my members decide to take matters

further.

Look, the other option is armed escort.

I also understand you wish to discuss the pay floor again.

High floors should certainly come into discussions, yeah.

I'm sorry, we have an emergency situation.

We'll have to reconvene at a later date.

Are you throwing us out?

Well, it's a nice day.

You could have a little stroll round the garden.

Okay.

Fine.

Just remember, it's not us who's under pressure here, Prime Minister.

What's the situation with Gold Command?

Gold Commander is waiting for us to do something.

I told him to go home with the guard.

They brought anarchy. I cannot allow it. They did.

Get me that secure line with General Pickering. What are you going to do?

Send in the troops, clear that ravel and restore order.

Reconvene Cobra so this situation is dealt with.

And what about relief? Keep those coming in for now.

General, I have a problem in the Red Zone.

Sorry, no comment. No comment.

How's the insomnia?

My dad's funeral coming up, which isn't helping.

Oh, funerals are stressful.

This one in particular.

How come?

My ex -wife.

She's convinced the kids I'm the one behind all the hamster deaths.

Tell her she can't come.

It's not that easy.

Dad loved his grandkids.

He'd want them there.

Still, I've got a cockapoo riding shotgun.

That's it?

It's still.

Do you want some human moral support?

It was my Auntie Charmaine's funeral back in Jamaica last month. Believe me,

don't think your ex -wife got anything to match the fireworks at that one.

You'd really come along?

Sure. Be more used to you than a dog.

My kids know who you are. Well, I was the future one.

Listen, the offer's there if you want it, all right? Just let me know.

I will.

Thanks, Francine.

Listen to them, man. They're trying to make welcome be a bunch of white

nationalists. They are.

I've got two mixed -race kids, right?

I'm not here about that in the mainstream media.

I am the mainstream media.

Okay. It's Manish, right? Yeah.

Manish, I don't blame anyone here for this.

I blame all of this on London.

How about Kamal Hussain?

I told you, tensions were running high. There was a rapist on the loose.

Anyway, no one's bothering you, are they? Yeah, that might be because I'm

you. Aye, well, you'd better stick with us, then.

So the people say the things for once.

Cavalry's arriving now.

Better round up the resistance, that art.

Aye, stick with us, Manish, because I think things are about to get pretty

tough.

Hold your position. I need to speak to the Prime Minister.

I do detect some unease among the troops of this operation.

This is not what they feel they should be doing. They're right, it isn't, but

can't have mob rule.

They're aware that Scott Manette is a veteran who still has close links to

serving troops.

He's also breaking the law. If I'm ordered to do so, then of course I will

in. But word is that some of the protesters are armed. Then they're not

protesters, they're paramilitaries. So would you authorize the use of lethal

force against them? There are people in that camp who will be very vulnerable if

it all kicks off.

So now what do you care about? Sorry, I have to be absolutely clear on what my

men will be permitted to do once inside the hospital. Any casualties, even

arrests, run the risk of creating martyrs.

You should use restraint, Prime Minister. Nothing to be gained by trying

tough.

Whether we like it or not, Manette represents a lot of people now, not just

the affected areas.

Going in, I think it's unwise, Robert, there will be consequences you might not

be able to handle.

All right, Archie. That was a perfectly fair point.

General, please instruct your soldiers to hold their position until further

notice.

We also need to keep an eye on the lorry drivers.

Our intelligence suggests that Rowntree's grip on the rank and file

strong, and many of them are sympathetic to people's justice.

One thing at a time. That might be a luxury we don't have, of course.

Good spot on Archie's strategy, ma 'am.

He knows storming is the wrong decision.

You only pushed in the hope it would make you do it and have to wear it.

I'm not sure I made the wrong decision.

What if we send a relief plane with a special snatch squad instead of

You mean like a Trojan horse?

Yeah.

What is my idea? That's, um... Well, you do know what that is, don't you? What?

Total bollocks.

You need to go up there.

Here, Ellie. Hi, Anna. It's Dad in. I need to speak to him.

Dad. Hello.

What's happening? Are the kids okay?

All right.

Meet me at Maddie's flat in Pimlico.

Georgia's dad came to see me. He says he wants me to tell the truth.

He wants me to tell the police it was me that provided the drugs. Okay, well,

he's obviously grieving. Dad.

The thing is, in situations like this, how does pointing the finger... Because

he thinks the finger is pointing at Georgia, and he thinks that that is

especially with the whole, you know, this whole racial thing. That's not

is it?

I mean, no one is pointing any fingers because Georgia's...

I'm speaking as your parent now.

Watching you get your degree. I can't think about that now.

Look at that, Ellie.

A lot of young people take drugs when they're at university. Did you?

No.

Too busy reading Locke and Hume.

Although the wrong generation for all the exciting ones.

But most people who do take them...

What happened to Georgia is tragic.

And no confession, no punishment is going to bring her back, which is what I

found for anyone.

Sweetheart.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

friend, Dad.

I miss her so much.

It's going to be alright.

You'll see.

This is all going to blow over.

Where'd you get these?

They were sent to me anonymously at the office.

So this is after the hotel fire.

So I assume you were with him in the hotel.

Do you love him?

Don't know.

I've slept with other women during our marriage.

Which I suspect that you know. I prefer suspicion to knowledge.

Well, either way, I don't want to be a hypocrite.

So what,

are you unhappy in this marriage? No, not at all.

I don't really have time to be unhappy.

On the occasions our paths cross, I'm always really happy to see

you.

I guess not everyone can say that.

They really can't.

Come and speak to them and explain that I'm staying here for a bit.

There's a few things I need to sort out with regards...

Eleanor, it's Anna Marshall here. I need to speak to you about something

important.

Order! Order!

Let me assure the House that every step is being taken in order to break the

deadlock at the Royal Northumberland Hospital.

We will restore legitimate authority to the Red Zone, and it is completely

intolerable. that unelected vigilantes attempt to seize control of the

situation. I will, of course, attempt to find a peaceful negotiated settlement,

and that is what is currently happening.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

In light of the events that we have been witnessing, I welcome the Prime

Minister's commitment to the rule of law and due process.

Mr. Speaker, with that in mind...

Will he give me an assurance that there will not be, nor has been, any

interference into the police investigation into the death of Georgia

a fentanyl overdose, and also, Mr. Speaker, that none of the witnesses of

case have been coached by... Mr.

Speaker, Mr. Speaker, first may I say how shocked I was.

but the death of Georgia Nixon.

She was, as I'm sure you're all aware, known to my family.

She was a delightful girl with her whole life ahead of her, and her thoughts go

out to her family at this difficult time.

And yet I agree with my honourable friend.

I agree that the law must take its course unimpeded.

No one is beyond its reach. I have never interfered with that, and I would

never... Instruct any of my staff to do so.

Order! Order!

What is the nature of the relationship?

I met him in Bosnia 25 years ago, when he was a translator.

We were in a relationship, and then he disappeared.

He went to try and find his sister, who'd been captured by the Serbs in

Visegrad.

He only reappeared a couple of weeks back.

Why did he come back to find you after so long?

Every question you want to ask going forward.

I saw a message on his phone from somebody called Tony Lulin, an ex

with the Bosnian army with a reputation... Yeah, I know who Lulin is.

What's the nature of their working relationship?

When I met him at the hotel, it was only the second time since his return.

Did you sleep with him?

Yes. Well, to be fair, I can understand the temptation.

I left my bag in his room during the fire.

Was it returned to you? Mm -hmm.

There was nothing sensitive in it, but obviously the hotel staff may have

out for him.

Will you please run any checks necessary?

I won't see him again until any questions arise. Isn't the fact that

husband is aware of this a factor?

Yes. but not the decisive one, which is national security.

And ensuring the Prime Minister is not affected by this.

Okay.

I'll leave this with me.

The deceased Prime Minister Robert Sutherland is facing press pressure to

after allegations that members of his team of advisers may have interfered

a police investigation into the death of Georgia Nixon, a friend of his daughter

Ellie.

What's happening?

I don't know, we've stopped.

Where are we?

Uh, just near Staveman.

Is that Yorkshire?

No.

Sounds like Yorkshire.

We're in Hertfordshire on the M1.

Fuck! With 15 miles per hour, remember?

Ugh.

Let's go have a look.

What's this all about?

Dad. Sweetheart, I have an emergency call for you. I really need to speak to

you. Can you give us a sec?

We've got a really serious situation unfolding. We need you now.

Darling, I'll speak in an hour, okay? One hour.

Owen Harding is in a coma and will probably never walk or talk again.

And this... Government is more interested in shoring up a rigged system

talking to us. We went to see them in Downing Street, and they tried to make

wait in the garden.

Now, my union has its differences with people's justice, but this is a revolt

against the elite in Westminster.

And our blockade, it's the only way to make them listen. They've got the

tightly encircled. Every way in is blocked.

You can't put it with the reds on it.

It's stranded somewhere near St. Albans and can't move.

You have to get it moving, Fraser. Everything hinges on restoring power.

Well, the problem is... Don't bring me the problem till you have the fucking

solution.

Got it.

For years, you've tried to make us invisible.

For years, you've tried to make a joke out of us. For years, you've tried to

make it like we don't exist.

Well, I do.

Here we are, Mr. Prime Minister.

Here we are.

Where are you?

You better be listening now.

You better be listening now.

No more negotiations with him.

Rather looks as if the Falcon is sticking two talons up at you, Robert.

We are ready for you now, Prime Minister.

The situation in London today is very grave.

The capital has effectively been encircled, and our attempts to move a

transformer to the Red Zone... Paralyzed.

Without fuel and supplies, people in the worst affected areas will die.

This is not legitimate protest.

It is an act of supreme selfishness, and no politician with the slightest

pretense at democratic credentials should support it.

In the face of this assault on democracy and the rule of law, I will not resign.

And I will certainly not call a general election, as some are suggesting.

And especially ludicrous demand, given the current situation we face.

To those who say we are not listening, I extend an invitation to sit down in a

wide -ranging national convention to work out our differences face -to -face

the best interests of our country. A country that is suffering so terribly

the consequences of a natural event.

Surely the destructive power of the solar storm should make us reflect on

fragility of our species and not look for opportunities to divide and harm

other.

That is all.

Thank you.

The lorry drivers union won't attend without people's justice.

Which means Scott Minnette. No. Hold on a sec.

Only a week ago, he was just another nobody shutting his mouth off. But a

is a long time in a national emergency. And for better or worse, Mr. Nobody

speaks for a lot of people. I am not inviting that man to Downing Street.

us, then.

Overall them with history and tradition. It always works.

Otherwise, there'll be no convention.

We cannot use the armed forces to break the blockade of London.

The situation in the relief centres will deteriorate very quickly.

We have no choice but to include people's justice if we want the union

to come and talk. And that means Minette.

Invite Scott Minette.

But make sure Harry Roundtree feels like top dog. He's got a massive ego and he

won't want some upstart stealing his thunder.

So we get the lorry drivers in first, give them dinner.

Exactly. Invite Scott Minette the following day. Then it will be clear who

consider to be the organ grinder.

Fine, but just Scott Minette. None of his specialist entourage and certainly

none of his fan club in the media.

He's in the endgame now, but we need to separate him from Anna Marshall.

I think a divorce might be just the distraction she needs. You really are a

piece of work, Archie. Thank you. Don't get distracted by petty revenge.

She sacked Dominic Knight.

Endgame is when this breaks in the tabloids and I give him her desk. Oh, I

really see that happening.

You always had an odd affection for her.

Well, it's not odd. It's very simple.

She's good and she's hardworking.

And those two things count a lot with me.

More importantly, though, you can't do it. What do you mean I can't? Has there

been a coup d 'etat? I should have added sensible to good and hardworking.

She did the right thing without prevarication and came straight to me.

So?

So I did my homework and put in some calls because I, too, am good and

hardworking.

Edin Todembegovic is connected to a Balkan gangster called Tony Lulin, who

involved in heroin from Turkey.

And there is definitely some concern about links with returning jihadists

Syria.

So what are we waiting for? I have reasons for letting things play out a

See if there's anything to our advantage here. When she goes, he goes, or vice

versa. I really don't care which way round it happens.

I'll only be staying there while this crisis is ongoing.

Well, you've caused this crisis.

This is all on you.

Fuck's sake, Bonnie, no one cares about the political situation. I do. Okay,

look. No, let's hope this is the start of a proper revolution so you both get

put up against the wall and shot.

Assuming that doesn't happen. He's just upset about... I know.

Well, go and talk to him in a sec.

It is really scary, Mum, all those lorries. It's terrifying.

And that's a big failure. People don't have to live in fear of society falling

apart.

What's going to happen?

With me and Dad?

You and Dad.

I don't know.

I'll stay at Maddy's for the next week.

Until Dad goes back to the States again. In the meantime, this is for you.

Come and see me whenever you like.

Everything will be all right. I promise.

Your dad and I, we're still... We're still okay.

I've seen a lot of stuff about myself online in the last week.

Silly little rich girl.

How I'm protected by my privilege.

How I am blaming a dead black girl to save my own white skin.

Georgia was my best friend.

I loved her.

And she did not deserve what happened to her.

And she doesn't deserve to be blamed for it now.

And I am sorry that I have added to the suffering of her family.

I admit that it was all my fault.

I was the one that provided the jug, and I lied.

Well, this isn't exactly going to plan, is it, Peter?

I think we can weather the storm.

Supply where personal gain isn't the motive. You and Rachel knew that from

start. A cynic might think that protecting Ellie wasn't the primary

Listen, I'm not here to discuss motives. I'm sure the courts will be lenient to

Ellie, especially in the light of that touching confession.

Oh, come on, Archie.

Anything to have touched you recently lifts up several flights of stairs in

German Street.

But will the same leniency be extended to those who encouraged her to lie?

to the police. I hope not, because that would be perverting the course of

justice. Indeed, the courts are never lenient on that one. You can get a hefty

spell in Chokey just for trading speed points. And what's yours?

Point, I mean. My point?

I suppose it's to encourage you to avoid the big bus that's heading in your

direction, because one way or another, someone's going under it, and slippery

piece of shit that you are, I imagine you don't want that someone to be you.

Georgia was my best friend.

I loved her.

She did not deserve what happened to her, and she doesn't deserve to be

for it now.

I'm sorry that I've added to the suffering of her family.

I admit that it was all my fault.

I was the one who provided the drugs, and I lied.

Not because of my privilege, but because I was scared.

I'm scared to go to prison.

But I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I promise you.

I promise you.

Did the Prime Minister not say to you, I promise I will put the lights back on?

Well, has he put the lights back on?

Has he put the lights back on?

Here in the Red Zone, we've got...

Because you know what we do still have?

We've still got a bit of spirit!

British people, we're rising up.

So if you can't keep our streets safe...
