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

leading people's justice in the Red
Zone.

You are, Mr. Prime Minister.

You better be listening now. For better
or worse, Mr. Nobody speaks for a lot of

people. I am not inviting that man to
Downing Street. Checkers, then.

That is not coping well. We will get her
through this if we just hold the line.

The law must take its course.

unimpeded. I have never interfered with
that, and I would never instruct any of

my staff to do so. Why did he come back
to find you after so long? I don't know.

Adin Tarzanbegovich is connected to a
Balkan gangster called Tony Lulin. Do

know him?

I don't know.

The capsule has effectively been
encircled, and our attempt to move a new

Transformer to the Red Zone is
paralyzed.

You need to get the tankers out of the
depots, which might not be so easy if my

members decide to take matters further.

It's not orders under pressure here,
Prime Minister.

Georgia was my best friend.

I loved her.

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

blamed 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'm the one that provided the drugs and
I lied.

Not because of my privilege, but because
I'm scared about going to prison.

If you're scared, you might go to
prison.

Are you scared, Mrs. Hutherland?

You have to be more specific.

When you discovered Ellie supplied the
drugs...

Were you scared she might go to prison?
Oh, come on, detective. You're going to

have to do better than when did you stop
beating your wife.

You didn't advise her to lie in police
interviews and put the blame on Georgia.

Are you asking me did I conspire to
prefer the course of justice?

No, I did not. Did anybody else? Not to
my knowledge.

Did you ever discuss it with Peter Mott?

With who?

You don't know the name of your
husband's press secretary.

Yes, of course I know who he is.

Did you ever discuss Elliot's
predicament with Peter Mott?

I think there might have... There may
have been a conversation about the level

of tabloid interest, a case that this
nature would attract.

So you discussed protecting your
daughter from press intrusion.

We've often had to do that.

I'm sure.

Look, my daughter has...

admitted to an understandable error of
judgment because she is overcome with

pain and grief over her best friend's
death. You now have to decide whether

you're going to charge her or not, and
she's fully prepared for that.

But in the meantime, I'd like to go home
and be with her because, believe it or

not, for all her supposed privilege...
Right now, Ellie, she's just a very,

very frightened young woman.

And she needs a mum.

Okay? Fine.

That'll do.

For now.

No trouble to check us by helicopter.

Can't run the risk of getting trapped at
a blockade. A special trend to

Aylesbury has also been laid on, and
there are cars from there.

Trains? Good God, we may as well hold
this in the waiting room at Paddington.

show we're not besieged in the capital.

That we can travel anywhere. What's
happening in the Red Zone?

Well, we've set up a new gold command
centre at the airbase near Hexham.

From now on, only essential supplies go
to the hospital. And we've arranged

buses to move those who want to leave.

What a waste of time and resources.

I think people just as know the actions
elsewhere now.

They've still got their foot on our
throat.

Panic buying has increased in a lot of
areas. There are big issues over fuel

supply now that the Dartford tunnel is
blocked.

Also enormous problems with bloods and
special medical couriers. I seem to

remember a time when you dismissed such
issues as minor logistics.

Don't underestimate Scott Manette.

He's got a massive profile now and he'll
take that with him to the barricade.

Surely his car comes off the road
somewhere on the A40.

What good's the deep state if it can't
organize a simple assassination?

The only deep state I'm familiar with is
my inbox.

Okay, let me be absolutely clear. I will
meet with these people.

But if they push too hard, I will drive
them straight off my fucking mountain.

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, keep me updated, yeah.

Peter Moss has been arrested.

Searched his office, taken his
computers.

This is a full -blown witch hunt now,
isn't it?

They've lied to Parliament, Reggie.

They'll keep on and on trying to prove
that.

They can't prove it. They can say it,
and some people might believe it, but

can't prove it.

And let's be honest, these are different
times. The bar for misdemeanours is way

higher than it used to be.

Thank God for a degraded sense of
political honor.

There's nothing degraded about wanting
to protect your family, Robert.

Whatever it takes, family first, always.

What?

Scott Minnette. That's two.

I guess we're all the same in the end.

Bunch of selfie shapes.

Oh, sweetheart, don't get cynical.

It's not you at all.

I have visual and little boy, but no
female.

Dear diary, busy morning, lusting after
Amy Williams from the Mail on Sunday,

followed by a spot of coaching Ellie
Sutherland on how best to lie to the

police.

Oh, he hasn't. It's on his computer.

They're still going through it.

They're not going to question him till
later, which is frustrating.

But a slight delay would probably help.

Given all the attention will be on
checkers. What about Anna Marshall?

Sleeping with the enemy?

In hand. So?

My hands.

You bugging the flat?

No comment.

Does she know you're bugging the flat?

Archie. Let me know if they pick up
anything particularly salacious. I'll

share it with my WhatsApp group. Piss
off, Archie. You'll be late for check

Nothing can move down there.

We'll have to end this.

One way or another.

Well, looks like we're staying put until
we know the outcome from the checkers.

But they're not going to agree on
anything.

It's obvious the plan is to bring down
government.

Maybe. But the PM's in a fighting mood,
so we'll see.

Well, at least this means you can go to
your dad's funeral.

Well, obviously I'll be reachable on the
mobile.

You're going to take my bill?

Fine.

You know, you said you were worried
about going... Oh, uh, uh, Francine

is coming along, actually.

Francine Bridge from the policy unit?

That's right.

Oh.

Just, you know, a bit of moral support.

Now, where is this Heath engineer?

I need to speak to him about these
elevated stretches of roadway.

He's sleeping in front of a fancy
fridge. Well, good for you, Fraser. She

hot, ain't I, dude?

You're going to lose your focus now.

The government are on the ropes.

I'm going down to check this with the
lorry drivers today and I'm going to

deliver our message.

Soon there'll be a new government.

They're trying to starve us in this
building.

The struggle's already moved on.

We're going to take the last of that
fuel and get down to the barricades in

London because that's where this is
going to finish.

telling you I promise you that in the
years to come people are going to look

back on us marching down them stairs and
taking this room and they're going to

remember us as a match that lit the
flame of the people's uprising

Hey, Holly.

Hi, Adam.

How are you?

Came second in cross -country.

Holly, come back here, please.

I love your shoes, Holly.

Holly!

They only start listening when it's
London. This would have been the South

that would have been fixed in five
minutes.

Right.

It's true.

Look, I'm not anti -London, right? In
fact, I probably know more real

than any of the liberals down there in
their mansions.

And by real Londoners you mean... But I
don't just mean white, if that's what

you're trying to catch us out on.

But you have to remember there are still
millions of white Londoners.

That's the reality.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Still plenty of fuel for your generator,
I see.

Oh, you see that house there?

On the end with a flag on it?

That's Mad Tomo's house, mate.

Raging commie.

Knit socks for refugees.

Of course, the street from him has even
got a couple of lesbians.

What I'm saying is not everybody thinks
the same. It's not like you lot make

out. You keep saying this.

They. You lot. The media. People who've
got the power.

Come on, start the way.

You've seen the thanks you get.

The people who think they can tell us
what we're allowed to think, what we're

allowed to say.

Celebrities with their blue tics and
their rainbow flags.

As opposed to those salted -earth pipes
tying Bram into motorbikes.

Look, man, some people are completely
racist, right? And some people are not.

Most of us are just somewhere in the
middle.

Like you.

Look, some Larry Kinn in Audi cuts us
up, right? I might think to myself, fuck

you, Pat.

It's no offence.

You know, I might even say it out loud.
It depends who I'm with. It depends what

mood I'm in.

That's the way people are all over the
world, Matt. It's not just here.

Like, how would your parents react if
you told them, Mom, Dad, I'm marrying a

lass from a different religion?

They'd throw a party if it was a girl
from any religion, I imagine.

Do you think I'm a racist?

Lots of people have been asking me that,
you know, when they're not abusing me

for normalizing you.

What do you tell them?

Doesn't matter to you?

I wouldn't be asking if it didn't.

Well, I certainly think you're pretty
normal.

Thank you.

You're smart.

Maybe in another era, the local
headmaster would have come and pleaded

dad to let you stay on at school.

No, he wanted us to stay on at school,
my old man.

He would deep think I was John Manette.

Union man, eh?

But in the end, it doesn't really matter
what I think of you personally any more

than what you think of me.

I'm just a journalist.

And you're just my story.

Aye.

All right, then.

Come and see where your story lives.

Now, don't mind her hitting the shrine,
right?

And try not to touch me arse. I know
it's tempting, but not in front of me

daughter.

There she is.

Pride and joy.

Come on, darling, come meet your new
friend in the niche.

Bye, Maple.

Come on, Holly.

Good luck.

What with?

Him?

We're colleagues.

Do you say so?

I do.

Bye, Mabel. I love you, Mabel.

I'll miss you.

Right. Let's go for a drink.

And do you feel any responsibility
towards the people not having operations

because there's a shortage of blood in
the capital? Hang on, hang on. The

responsibility for this lies entirely
with the government, who has always

on behalf of an elite, and not the
ordinary folk of this country.

Folk?

I need a digger.

Did you coach Ellie on what to say to
police?

No.

Did you and...

Rachel Sutherland advised her to claim
that Georgia had supplied the drugs

because Georgia was dead.

Was the Prime Minister present?

Was the Prime Minister present at any
meeting where such a strategy was

discussed?

You keep a diary.

We found some interesting extracts on
your computer.

R .S.

That's Robert Sutherland, right?

No flies on you, Inspector.

R .S. very anxious not to get involved
with discussions on E .S.

and leaving things to me and R .J .S.
Rachel Jane Sutherland.

So he knew that you two were
strategising.

The only strategy was how to deal with
the inevitable press interest.

E .S. the upset after visit from Georgia
Nixon's father.

Took a concerted effort to persuade her
to keep to script.

Figure of speech.

Disturbing news from the university.

When I told RS, he bit my head off about
interview strategy with ES and police.

Told him to leave it to me and RJS. She
is much more clear -sighted about the

issue. Need to stop AM going all
Cassandra.

So far, RS keeping her out of it.

Anna Marshall, right?

At least she has an alibi.

At one point in her last interview,
Ellie told us that she felt pressured

into lying.

She tried to backtrack, but we've got it
on tape.

Now, when we get her to tell us who's
pressuring her, who do you think it will

be that she'll name?

You. Or her mother.

And Sam knows.

And he's... Sad?

I mean... Uncertain.

Well, I always thought it was a good
marriage for what it was.

In many ways, it is.

So what happened there?

Eleanor's running checks because of the
Tony Lillian connection.

Well, you did the right thing going to
her, of course.

Of course.

But you can still see her?

According to Eleanor, yeah.

And you want to?

I'm a bit lost for words, actually.

I've never... I mean, adultery, I mean,
I've never... I'm not judging. Oh, don't

worry.

Close as I ever thought I'd get to, it
was reading Tolstoy in the cottage.

I've always thought it was a bit too
much, like hard work.

Adultery, I mean, not...

Easier when your partner's hardly ever
there.

A bat.

Oh, God.

A bat's a good omen or a bad omen.

Sure.

Don't fuck with them, though. They're
better protected than the nuclear coat.

Cars are arriving.

Mr. Rowntree, welcome to Checkers.

I believe it was Lady Thatcher who said
it was impossible not to fall in love

with this place.

And from your side, I believe Ramsay
MacDonald was enchanted by it. There's a

splendid portrait of him in the National
Portrait Gallery, here with his family.

Yeah, Ramsay MacDonald was not from my
side at all, Home Secretary.

He was a traitor to the Labour movement.

Still, who meets him when you've got
Francine Bird, Jay?

Well, quite.

Harry, welcome.

Prime Minister, are we coming in or do
you want us to wait out in the garden

again? Oh, you could do a lot worse.

Come inside and have some tea before we
get going.

Thank you.

This is nice.

The people's just with me, yeah?

Not yet.

Scott Minnette will be arriving on time.

I did try and get you a ticket for check
-in, but I heard you weren't free IP

enough. Well, I understand you're not on
the main stage either. Just wait until

this time next year, man.

No one will even remember who Harry
Roundtree is.

Keep the kid inside.

Go on.

Go on.

I'll sit next to Harry around until
you're done.

I think it should be me.

You?

We're the only two who still believe in
the undying nature of the class

struggle.

Well, it was a sacrifice on my part.

Scott

Minnette's

been involved in a hit and run.

He's done.

People's justice is called for a boycott
on talks till minutes. Death is

clarified. Clarified?

What does that mean?

We have to speak to them first.

You can't leave.

There's no time for this.

Harry.

Harry.

Every second that Transformer stays
blocked, more lives are lost.

People are dying because of this
blockade. People are dying because of

government. We have a duty to the
country, you and I, to sort this thing

Are you going to use the Civil
Contingency Act to keep me here?

Are you going to throw me in front of a
tribunal if I try to leave?

Are you a dictator now, Prime Minister?

How do we know that you didn't have
Scott Millett taken out?

Don't be so fucking ridiculous.

This isn't about the Civil Contingencies
Act.

And it's not about Scott Manette either.

Love it. It's about you.

Acting like you're on the bridge of the
battleship Potemkin because you can't

control your members.

You're competing with people's justice
while hard -working public servants

battle round the clock to get the power
back on. So why don't you get back to

your barricade, you posturing idiot?

Because I'm coming for you tomorrow.

Oh, yeah? Oh, fucking yes. Love it.

And I'm bringing APVs and bulldozers, so
if you do feel like acting like the

anime's square man, which, quite
frankly, I doubt very much, then fucking

yourself out.

Um...

Well,

that's the idea.

Let's get back to London.

Convene, Cobra.

I'm taking these bastards on now.

What do you want?

Hi,

two vodka tools, please.

The police are looking for both car and
drivers, one of whom was described as

either black or Asian.

No surprise there, then.

True fact, is it love?

We don't all know each other, you know.

I know you.

You're a politician.

Bunch of crooks.

Only in it for themselves.

What'd he say?

Let's go.

Where's Dave?

Dave, do you remember that sign? No
blacks, no Irish, no dogs?

We've only gone and got a free for here,
mate. I think you'd better go, mate.

Where do we have to go?

Where's no dogs allowed?

No surrender, no surrender, no surrender
to the eye. All right.

So funny.

Well, apart from the country going
insane.

I just buried my dad.

My kids won't talk to me because their
mother's a lying sociopath.

And even though I've done nothing to
them, I've got some guy singing in my

no surrender to the IRA.

What a setting for a week.

My dad would have loved it here.

It's hilarious.

That's what's got me now, you slags.

Keep walking.

I was going to.

What's up, Hal?

You okay, mate?

Sure.

What were you going to say?

What I saw.

No, I mean about him.

His views, you know, put it in some
perspective.

Because you got close to him, and what
with you being, you know...

Diverse yourself.

Diverse?

As you can contextualize.

Rob. Yeah? Shut up.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Earlier today, I witnessed the brutal
attack on Scott Minnette, which was

unquestionably deliberate.

The mood on the streets is... Rob?

Rob?

Get in.

Get in!

It's gonna kick off big time.

They killed that Scot Manette, didn't
they?

Who's they?

Who do you think?

He just got too popular, didn't he?

I mean, they were never going to meet
him, it's obvious.

But why would a bunch of people here in
London care about him? People are fed up

of everything, aren't they?

Lying politicians, no food in the shops.

Well, maybe we should drop you first.

Well, you can come back to mine for a
bit, if you like.

Will you take us to Kennington, please?

It's been far worse than last time.

Welcome back, Anna.

If anyone can sort out this shit show,
it's you.

That is your boyfriend having dinner
with Tony Lulin.

Lulin's business interests are highly
complex.

Some are quite legitimate. He runs a
very successful fiber optics company.

Others less so, the Turkish heroin trade
being the most obvious.

There is a rumour that Tony Lulin is an
assassin based in London.

The assassin goes under the pseudonym of
Niko and is greatly feared.

No, I don't know.

I'm definitely going to find out.

I need to talk to you, Mum. Can I come
and see you? No, you need to stay

The situation is really volatile in
London right now.

Where's Barney?

Upstairs. Look, I have to... I want to
talk about what's happening to our

family. You said I can come and see you
at the Pimlico flat any time.

Am I just not important to you now?

That's really unfair.

Look, please, don't leave the house
tonight, all right? We're getting

rioting breaking out. I will try to come
home later, but I need to speak to your

dad first.

All right?

I love you.

Bye.

We've had reports of disturbances from a
number of places, and not just the

crisis zones.

Sheer opportunism. We should round them
up and use Wembley as a mass detention

centre. You've never really lost that
loving feeling for penis, have you,

A great man and an honourable soldier.

If I could drag us away from murderous
dictators for a moment and back to our

current problem.

Please do.

But anyone who's angry right now is
coming out on the streets, and that is a

hell of a lot of people.

Manchester, Birmingham, London.

The problem is that it's been a long
time since Northern Ireland.

We used to be a world leader in handling
serious urban disturbances.

Well, I want troops deployed on the
streets tonight.

I authorise the use of CS gas and baton
rounds if necessary. And if it requires

more than that?

If my men come under serious attack?

You were unwilling to make that decision
earlier.

We will restore legitimate authority in
the Red Zone, clear the roads for the

Transformer, and deal rebuttally with
further writing and other ideas.

No more Velvet Glove.

Why did you leave her?

That thing.

Value.

Lifestyles.

Aspirations.

Politics. Just the small stuff, then.
The kids are all I care about.

But she's managed to make them believe
that I'm responsible for all the bad

things. There's nothing I can do about
it.

Well, it's obviously made you very
unhappy.

Maybe you should talk to someone about
it.

People talk too much.

They should bottle it all up until it
gets too much.

And then they should medicate.

That's still working for you, is it?

I like you, Grayson.

I like you, too.

First reports of fatalities.

A man was attacked and beaten to death
trying to protect his shop.

Two dead in flats above shops that were
set on fire.

Can't let this continue.

Cannot let anarchy prevail.

I agree.

Even at this time, it means a risk to
life.

Hello, this is the Prime Minister. Have
General Pickering meet me in the Cobra

Room, please.

Oh, I'm sorry. You may not have heard
me. This is the fucking Prime Minister.

Get General Pickering out of his meeting
and have him meet me in the Cobra Room

immediately.

Hello? Okay, come on.

I gotta go.

Now? That was the Prime Minister.

He's about to take out the barricades to
release the Transformer.

I think we all can agree to these terms,
right?

Yes.

Everything is in place.

The shipment will be arriving next week.

Where's my mom?

You're Tess, right?

Where's my mom?

She's not here.

Who knows?

Let me go!

I got her! I got her!

What are you doing?

The unidentified female with Anna
Marshall's daughter.

Shall we go in?

See how this plays out, 2 -1.

Trust me.

What is this?

A girl.

This is a problem.

He said no one would be here.

I don't know.

Let her go. She won't be able to.

Let her go.

She'll stay here, Niko.

What are

you doing? Are you

crazy?

Come on.

He'll kill your pet.

Open the door now!

We have intelligence that a far -right
group called National Spirit has

infiltrated the protesters.

Now, they have links to the armed
forces, so probably not wise to go...

moment longer.

I made a promise to the people in the
hospital that I would turn the lights

on, and I'm going to keep that fucking
promise.

Lives have already been lost.

Take that barricade down.

the first barricade is cleared but there
are more protesters approaching

We need to take control of this
situation.

We're pushing their lines back well.

Do I have authorization to return fire?

They should retreat.

If they have grenades, they may have
guns.

Do I have authorization?

Anna,

tell him.

They're throwing grenades at British
soldiers. It isn't a protest, Robert.

an armed attack.

It's too risky.

I'm authorizing you to return fire.

Colonel.

You have authorization to defend
yourself with live ammunition.

Send fire team forward. Rules of
engagement apply.
