CLOCK TICKING RAPIDLY

Is the clock bothering you?

No.

You're the first ammunition technician

I've had in here.

- EXPO. - 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. Fucking 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 bastards.

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, fucking Bake Off.

SHE EXHALES SHARPLY, HE CHUCKLES

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?"

SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE

"Is this the last one?"

OVER RADIO: '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 fuck is everyone?

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

ON RADIO: 'Let's go.'

BEEPING

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 bomber.

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.

SIRENS WAIL

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.

ON RADIO: '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.

Ah, good work.

MOBILE RINGS

Sir? What is it?

We have another problem.

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

'heading east towards Central London.'

The type of explosive 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.

HACKETT: 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.

BATRA: '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 explosive 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.

BATRA: 'EXPO 1, 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 shoot 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 bullet 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.

QUENTIN: '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.

BEEPING

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

'We'll be there in one minute.'

SIREN WAILS

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. HASS: 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.

BOTH: ..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.

LORRY ENGINE RUMBLES

Go, go, go.

CTSFO 1: Armed police! CTSFO 2: Armed police! Stop!

Armed police. Let go of the wheel!

- LANA: 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.

HE GRUNTS

Shots fired. Shots fired. Suspect is down.

Get him out of there.

Out, out, out, out.

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

ON RADIO: '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.

CTSFO ON RADIO: 'Securing the driver now.

'Request immediate medical assistance for one T1 casualty.'

Drone has stopped above the tunnel.

It's waiting.

There are bullet 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.

PHIL ON RADIO: 'Gold Command, Trojan 1.

'Driver in custody and receiving medical attention.

'Gunshot 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 bomb

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.

NIA: '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 fucking hell is it gonna be?

'Wash, what can you see?'

Load of small boxes, industrial shit.

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.

PANTING

'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.

BATRA: 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.

BREATHES HEAVILY

Where the fuck 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.

WOMAN: Run round.

MAN: '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?

NIA: 'Gold Command to EXPO 8.

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

HASS: '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.

Fuck'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 bastards.

Oh, shit.

Morgan, call this in. Sir.

OK, we've got a large main charge.

HASS: 'Shit. How many detonators?'

I can see two at the minute.

Right, we've got a third detonator.

'Jesus Christ.'

The explosives are connected to a sat phone.

The ECMs aren't gonna work.

Switching channel.

EXPO 1 Bravo, are you still there?

DANNY: '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?

PHIL: Checking now.

Control, Trojan 1.

Where the hell is my anti-drone ammunition?

CONTROL: 'Still travelling to you, Trojan 1.'

SHE COUGHS, HIGH-PITCHED RINGING

TROJAN 3: 'Bronze Investigation, Trojan 3.

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

'Bronze Investigation, are you receiving?

'Bronze Investigation 2?

'Control, Trojan 3.' SHE COUGHS

'Possible contact IED. Possible contact IED.'

FAINTLY: 'Bronze Investigation, are you receiving?'

CAR ALARM, DOGS BARK IN DISTANCE

'Bronze Investigation 2, can you hear me?'

SHE GRUNTS, COUGHS

'Bronze Investigation 2, are you receiving?'

SHE GASPS, BREATHES SHAKILY

'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.'

SHE GRUNTS

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

'Trojan 3. Contact on fourth floor.

'Commencing search for Bronze Investigation 1.'

SHE GRUNTS

DOOR SLAMS DISTANTLY

SHE SCREAMS, GROANS

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.'

Fuck it.

We're fucked. '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 explosive.

I think we've got a collapsing circuit. 'Shit!'

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.

SOFTLY: 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. Fuck's sake.

Steady!

BEEPING

Done, done!

HE PANTS

SHE EXHALES

Fucking 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. SIRENS WAIL

Nice of Wren to join us.

Good shot. Your drone gun 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 explosives in that lot...

BOOM What the fuck was that?

That was a detonation.

Over there.

EDDIE: 'And are you ready for that?'

TICKING IN HEAD

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?

Mm. Yeah.

That's the job.

You're white-knuckling it.

I've no doubt you've got your shit 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? WHISPERS: Yeah.

TICKING

Another device. HASS: That's out east.

Fuck.

BOOM

What the fuck! Jesus Christ.
