Gunfire

train horn

gunfire fades

announcement: The train
approaching platform three

is the 20:55 service to London euston.

Cover yourself up, Ella.
We're not there yet. Good girl.

Sh, sh, sh. Not our stop yet.

Back to sleep.

Guard: This train is about to depart.

Whistle

stand clear of the doors.

Stand clear of the doors.

Excuse me.

Is everything all right in there?

Sorry, madam. You wouldn't mind
looking after my kids

for a minute, would you?
I'll be right back.

Yeah. No problem.

Thank you very much. I'll be right back.

Suspicious in toilet c-d.

Sergeant David budd, metropolitan police.

What's going on?

You've got an intelligence report
for an Asian male in his 20s?

How do you know about that?

I saw you checking out
the guy in my carriage.

He's fine but I saw someone
acting suspiciously at marston.

I don't know if he succeeded
in boarding the train

but, if he did,
he could be in the toilet.

Look, I'm an operational
firearms commander

with specialist protection.
What's the plan?

British transport police have
put out an alert on a possible

suicide bomber attempting to
board a London-bound service.

We've been ordered to stop
the train at barnet shed.

It's a derelict depot out in the sticks.

So 19... sco19.

They're going to board the train.

How long till we get there?

- Seven minutes.
- He won't detonate in the toilet.

He'll go into the carriage
for maximum casualties.

Right, stick with me on this.
What's your name?

- Sandra.
- Give me your number.

Uh... 07700900876.

- I need to call this in.
- Do it.

This way, sarge.
We'll take you down to track-side.

I need a few more minutes.
Is that all right?

- Yeah. No problem.
- Thank you.

Rustling

laboured breathing

phone rings

- hello?
- I can't let him get out of there.

There's dozens of
passengers on this train,

- my kids included.
- What?

Can you unlock the exit doors
while the train's moving?

Disconnect beeps - hello?

Shit.

Shit.

Fuck.

Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Come on.

Ringing tone

what I said is can you...?

The stop's just a few minutes away.
Let's not do anything to...

If he feels the train brake,
he'll know it's an unscheduled stop.

He'll go into the carriage and
detonate the device. No.

Can you unlock the doors while
the train's moving or not?

- Yes.
- When I say so, do it.

- Let me take care of the rest.
- The rest of what?

To throw him off the train.

Stand by.

Do it now.

Subject does not appear
to be carrying a device.

He's an Asian male, late 20s,
wearing a black baseball cap,

grey t-shirt and carrying a green coat.

Advise sco19 he's heading towards
the front of the train and does not

appear to be a threat. Repeat,
does not appear to be a threat.

I'm going to examine the toilet
for signs of a device.

Trojan, control, active message.

Trojan receiving.

Subject is at front of train,
no visible device,

to be detained for questioning.

Proceed as planned.

- Copy.
- Train eta's three minutes.

Three minutes!

She gasps

assalaamu alaikum.

I just want to talk.

That's all.

I can see you're as scared as I am.

Miss, I just want to help you.

You don't have to do this.

You can change your mind.

Don't do that! Please don't do that!
Don't move. Stay still.

Please. Just stay still.
Please! Just stay still. Don't move.

Please. Please!

She whimpers

she sobs

you don't want to do this.

You don't look like you do.

Listen, the specialist
counter-terrorism unit

already know about a potential
incident on this train.

So what I'd like to do
is just tell them...

that you're willing to talk.

Does that sound ok to you?

Just talk, is that a start?

There's a second bomber...

but we're talking.

Now write this down.

Young Asian female,

equipped with an explosives vest.

Advise sco19 she's willing to talk.

Request armed officers hold back
from boarding the train

and that bomb disposal and negotiators

are deployed as operational priority.

But firstly, right now,
evacuate the adjacent carriages.

Yeah. Ok.

This is your guard speaking.

Would all passengers in carriage d

please make your way at once
into carriages e and f?

And would all passengers in
carriage c please make your way

- immediately into carriages b and a?
- Come on, wake up. We've got to move.

- Where's daddy?
- Wake up.

I'll just have a look

and make sure that everyone's
getting out all right. Ok?

All right? I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying right here.

It's ok. It's ok.

My name's David.

David budd.

What's yours?

Nadia.

The man that was in here before,

is that your husband?

Yeah?

And your husband wants you to die?

You don't have to be a martyr, Nadia.

We can deactivate this device

and we can protect you from your husband.

You don't ever have to see him
again if you don't want to.

Hey, Nadia.

Nadia, look at me.

I'm just as scared as you are, I promise.

I'm just bringing my kids back
from visiting my mum.

You have children?

Yes. I do. Two.

That's Ella. She's ten.
Charlie. He's eight.

I just want to take them home
to their mum.

Trojan, control, we've got
a sit rep from the train guard.

There's an off-duty specialist
protection officer on board.

Ps David budd.

Received.

Stand by.

It's all right.

Everything's going to be all right.

Siren whoops

she pants

stop! Please! Stop!
Listen to me. Listen to me.

Why would someone you love want
you to kill yourself?

You've been brainwashed.

He has. You have.

And I know.

I was in Afghanistan.
I saw mates get killed.

Nearly got killed myself.
For what? Nothing.

Politicians. Cowards and liars.
Ours and theirs.

People full of talk but will never
spill a drop of their own blood.

But you and I,
we're just collateral damage.

Don't let them win, Nadia.

Don't let them win.

Police officer! Don't shoot!

All right? Stay right here.
I'm not going anywhere.

- You hear that?
- Indistinct voices

that's them evacuating
everyone from the train.

So it's just you and I.

It's just us here. Ok?

- Armed police! Armed police!
- Get down on the ground!

Put your hands on your head
and get down! Get down!

Don't move!

Stay exactly where you are, Nadia.
Don't move, ok? All right.

Armed police!

Ps David budd,
specialist protection! Don't shoot!

We know who you are! Stand clear!

It's all right. I'm not going anywhere.

Just stay very still now, Nadia. Ok?

David, work with me, yeah?

You've done a great job
but you're not ofc here. I am.

I need you to stand down, nice and easy.

I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying right here with you.

It's all right. Nothing's changed.
It's just us talking here.

- Just stay, really, really still.
- Ok? Move... away... from the subject.

In position.

It's ok, Nadia. It's all right. It's ok.

Tfc reports sniper in position.
Critical shot authorised.

Received.

Nadia, I need you to trust me.

I'm going to turn round
and speak to this officer.

She's cooperating.
She intends to surrender.

She does not intend to activate
the device. Get expo here.

They're here. Now move away.

It's all right. It's ok.
I'm not going anywhere. I'm not.

David, stand clear.

Nadia, you need to show them you're
not going to detonate the device.

Now, when I ask you to,

I want you to raise your arms
either side of you.

Can you do that for me when I ask?

This is your final warning. Stand clear!

Nadia's going to spread her arms

and we're going to stay put
and wait for expo.

Trojan ofc to tfc.

Ps budd has been given repeated
warnings to stand down but has

failed to cooperate. We have
no clear shot of the subject.

That's it, nice and slow.
Stay close to me.

Come in. Come in, close to me. That's it.

All right, doing really well.

Doing really well, Nadia.

That gun, that's an mcx carbine.

A bullet from that would go
through the both of us.

I'm trusting they're not going
to shoot one of their own.

All right? You trust me too?

Ok.

Shit.

Shit. Oh, come on.

Control to sniper 1.
Do you have a clean shot?

Negative.

Stay in there. Don't go out.
Stay here. Stay here with me.

Subject required out of toilet
for critical shot.

- Received.
- Get expo here, now!

David, I need the subject
to step out of the toilet.

No, she's going to stay here
and wait for expo.

- That's what we're going to do.
- Don't move. Come out of the toilet.

- Come out of the toilet.
- Stay really still for me, will you?

- That's it. You're doing really good.
- Out now, miss. Listen to me.

- Get expo here.
- David, stand aside.

Don't fire! Do not do this!

- You need to come out of the toilet!
- Don't do this! Don't do this!

Nadia, stay there, don't move.
Please don't move, Nadia!

- Step out of the toilet!
- Don't do this. Don't do this.

- Please don't do this.
- David, stand down! Out! Out!

- Stay here! That's it. Don't do this!
- Get out of the fucking toilet!

No!

- No shot!
- All right. Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

All right, Nadia. Hold tight. That's it.

Just keep moving. Hold tight.

Ok. All right.

Control to sniper 1.
Can you execute critical shot?

Negative.

That's it, Nadia.

No clean shot available.
Repeat, no clean shot available.

- Expo.
- Control. Sending expo in now.

Expo is coming.

Thank you.

All right, Nadia. I've got you.

Explosives officer.

Stay calm. Stay calm.

Miss? My name's Karen.

Now I need you to put your arms down.

Good. Now turn your palms towards me...

and do not move.

Nadia, I'm going to step to the side.

I'll be right here.

I'm moving towards you now.

Nadia, now I need to ask you...

this object in your hand
is the initiation device?

Yes.

Does anyone else have
control of this device?

No.

Straighten your arm, please.

Arms up, please.

All the way up.

Turn around for me, please.

I'm going to remove the belt.

I need everyone out now.

Open the door.

I'm going to step off the train,
then ask you to follow me.

All right?

Ok, nice and slowly.

Keep your hands where we can see them.

Stay calm.

Stay still and we'll lift
you down to the ground.

- Stay still!
- Nadia!

Don't look over there. Look down at
the ground. Down at the ground.

Go! Go! Let's go!

It's over. You're safe now.

He can't hurt you.
No-one's going to hurt you.

Come on. Out you get.

- Thanks, mate.
- Oh, God.

- Mummy!
- Thank God! Come here.

Oh.

Oh, sweetheart.

Sorry. By the time
I'd given a statement, I...

- Love, it's all right.
- Thank you.

I'm fine. Look, we're all fine.

It's all right.

Night-night, sweetheart. I love you.

Night-night, Charlie bear. Goodnight.

Night-night, sweetheart.

Night, big man. Night.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

They'll be all right, love.

I should be heading off.

You don't have to.

You sure?

Are you feeling ok?

Come on. Let's talk downstairs.

Oh, for Christ's sake, Dave.

Sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm a fucking idiot.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

News reports: Terrorists armed
with a suicide vest

boarded the London-bound train
just before...

the prime minister has called a
meeting of cobra...

No-one was injured in the attack

on a packed train en route to
London euston station.

And we would urge members of
the public to remain vigilant...

the joint terrorism analysis centre

will assess the current threat level.

My government remains resolute

in our determination
to root out terrorism.

Jtac has the raised the threat
level from moderate to substantial.

What I'm being told is most
worrying about yesterday's incident

is the exceptionally high level of
sophistication of the explosive vest

employed by the would-be attackers.

It would appear most likely that
this is the work of a terror cell

and there may well be
accomplices still at large.

Frank gardner, there,
our security correspondent.

- Morning, sarge.
- Cheers, Ken.

The level of sophistication
of the 1st of October device

and the very real concern that it
represents a new and devastating

threat to national security has led
the joint terrorism analysis centre

to raise the uk's terror threat
level to substantial.

We're joined now by the home secretary,

the right honourable Julia montague, mp.

Before we begin, Nick, I'd like
to pay tribute to the courage of

all members of the police
and security service

whose selfless actions prevented
an appalling act of terrorism.

Bit of a day yesterday.

If you need some time off or for me
to refer you to occ health

- for some counselling...
- I'm fine, thanks, ma'am.

It's a miracle you're in one piece.

We're all very lucky the
bomber changed her mind.

Hm.

Not that she's saying much.
And the husband's saying nothing.

It seems like when the time came
she froze and the husband panicked.

Yeah.

Great job, David. A credit to the branch.

Thank you, ma'am.

So far you've acted as ppo to
visiting foreign dignitaries?

That's right, ma'am.

The commissioner's ordered me

to review specialist protection
on senior politicians.

I'm assigning you to a cabinet minister.

The home secretary.

Very good, ma'am.

It's a move up.

Yes.

Thank you, ma'am.

Good man.

Ma'am.

_

_

My glock and two magazines, please.

That's the principal now,
skipper, in the first car.

The backup's behind.

Her driver's Terry
and the ppo's pc tom fenton.

- Ma'am.
- Kim.

Ma'am, this is ps budd, the new ppo.

Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
I was wondering if we could

discuss you using the underground
entrance from now on?

I'm late for a meeting.

Julia likes to be seen.

- What's happening with Andrew marr?
- I'll chase them today.

I thought it was all confirmed.

There's a possibility
that number 10 want the slot.

And when were you planning to tell me?

I was waiting for the right moment.

You didn't find it.

Sierra zulu 7-2 from control.

Go ahead, control. 7-2 over.

7-2, do you have an eta for tulip
to arrive at Melbourne?

Control, traffic is heavy,
eta 12 minutes. 7-2 over.

7-2, can you call up when
one minute away? Control out.

Rob MacDonald, special advisor
to the home secretary.

Leave a message.

Hi, it's me. We need to catch up.

Come to the flat.

Not sure what time I'll be home.
Depends on the traffic.

Cross the river and take the South circ.

Terry's been driving me for three years.

I think he can be trusted to
determine the fastest route.

I've made a dynamic risk assessment

and, given the current threat level,
I'm recommending a diversion.

How much longer will that take?

Can't say for certain, ma'am.

In that case we'll just take the
usual route, please, Terry.

Take the South circ, if you don't mind.

My job's to keep you safe, ma'am.
I won't tell you how to do yours.

No, but you're happy to make it harder.

47-79, we'll park up across
the road and wait.

Ma'am.

If you wouldn't mind holding
here a moment, please, ma'am.

Ringing tone

hi.

I've just remembered I've got nothing in.

Are you all right to pick up a takeaway?

Not a problem. Usual?

Sure.

May I ask what you're doing?

What's behind this door?

My study.

Seriously? I'm expecting a colleague
and I need you to fuck off.

No offence.

None taken.

That was us plotting
to build the death star.

How long's this going to take?

Can't say for certain, ma'am.

Just get on with it.

- Pc Knowles said your name's budd.
- Yes, ma'am.

The officer who prevented the 1st of
October rail attack. That was you?

Yes, ma'am.

It's been a long and trying day.

I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot.

Thank you, ma'am.

All is forgiven.

As you wish, ma'am.

No, really, I've been a total cow.

All is forgiven.

Thank you.

- Skip...
- Evening.

Mr MacDonald visiting the principal.

Doorbell.

I can get it.

Oh. Hello.

Evening, sir.

Rob MacDonald.

Perfect timing. I'm starving.
Come through.

Sergeant budd won't be long.

Actually, I'm all done, ma'am.

Thank you, sergeant.

Couple of prawn crackers going
if you want some?

No, thank you, sir.

- Have a good evening, ma'am.
- You too.

I got this for later.

Evening, lads.

Skip.

Control, Sierra zulu 7-9.
We're state 11 handing off to dpg.

Ringing tone

hello.

Hiya, love.

You ok?

Yeah. I'm just calling for a chat.

About what?

Just calling for a chat, Vic.

What do you want?

What do I want?
I'm just calling to say hello.

Just missed you, that's all.

She sighs don't start.

Why can't we just have a chat
like two normal adults, Vicky?

This is not normal.

Vicky, I've put a lid on it.
I'm handling things.

I know what happens when you call
late with a few drinks inside you.

I've not even had a few drinks.

She sighs

Vicky.

Vicky, let's just have a chat.
Let's just have a chat!

- Not now.
- Vic.

No. Not like this.

Vicky.

Line goes dead

shit!

News reports: There is a heightened
police presence at airports,

railway stations and other...

failed 1st of October rail
attack has triggered a hunt

- for accomplices. Counter-terrorism.
- Officers believe...

ignited a debate on national security,

which has the potential to
split the government.

The prime minister,
considered a moderate...

The home secretary's efforts to
enhance surveillance powers through

a new regulation of investigatory
powers bill, so-called ripa-18...

Home secretary, two minutes till
I take you through to the studio.

Thank you.

I bet the pm pulled out because he
knew you'd do a much better job.

Sounds like a reason not to pull out.

Your decaf.

- Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
- Shit.

- Christ!
- Shit.

She laughs. I'm sorry. Shut up.

- Give her your blouse.
- It'll never fit.

- Oh, for God's sake!
- Give her yours, then.

I don't wear blouses, do I?

Can we dry it out?

Don't be ridiculous. There's no time.

Fresh on this morning, ma'am.

You've got to be kidding me.

My shirts are altered to
fit over my ballistic vest

so the chest-to-waist ratio
should be compatible.

Well, don't all stand around gawping.

And you, fuck off and organise
sergeant budd a new shirt.

You'll have to tuck it
under your jacket, ma'am.

Thank you.

Some privacy?

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Home secretary,

just how anxious should we be
about this terrorist threat?

Is there another one around the corner?

We are a target.

We can't be complacent.

Now, I am committed to supporting
our security services

by giving them greater powers
to confront greater threats.

The government is intent on
forcing through a beefed-up

regulation of investigatory
powers act this year,

ripa-18 as it's been dubbed,
spearheaded by you,

but critics are calling it
a snoopers' charter to monitor

phone calls, e-mails and social
media without judicial review.

Andrew, only those intent on acts
of violence have anything to fear.

And the prime minister has been
quoted as saying that,

"lessons need to be learned"

"from our military interventions
in the middle east."

So what do you think
those lessons might be?

I can't see any justification
for believing the Taliban would

govern Afghanistan in peace
and harmony, or Iraqi insurgents

would ever have formed a stable
democracy, or isis would ever

form a state with which the world
could have diplomatic relations.

And, Andrew, I certainly do not miss
the tyranny of Saddam Hussein.

So what are the lessons to be learned?

The prime minister has been
very clear on how we deal

with the present
and build a more secure future.

That doesn't require
apologising for the past.

TV: I can't see any justification
for believing the Taliban would

govern Afghanistan in peace and
harmony, or Iraqi insurgents would

ever have formed a stable democracy or...

and build a more secure future.

That doesn't require
apologising for the past.

Doesn't require
apologising for the past.

That doesn't require
apologising for the past.

Doesn't require
apologising for the past.

Apologising for the past.
..Apologising for the past.

Apologising for the past.

Apologising for the past.
..Apologising for the past.

Fading out: Apologising for the
past... apologising for the past.

Hello. Reception. Where? Yes, here he is.

Security, they need you upstairs! Quick!

Clear back!

How can you treat me like that?

You have had it in for me from day one!

- Oh, stand there like a smug prat!
- Sergeant budd, thank you.

Sergeant budd, would you kindly
escort ms Dyson from the building

and we can all get back to work?
Thank you.

For a job that you don't even
know what I do on a daily basis.

Have you taken the time? No.
Because you are that arrogant.

- Get back in your office! Narcissist!
- There's a cab coming for her.

Oh, a cab! Keep your cab.

- You narcissistic, smug prick.
- Sorry.

Good luck with your interview, darling!

I wouldn't work here if I'm fucking paid.

- Miss, will you come with me, please?
- No.

Come on. Let's talk about it
downstairs. All right?

She mutters

can you not stand so close to me, please?

Yeah, I'm just coming out
onto the street now.

Thanks.

Bit calmer?

If you don't want to deal with them,

I can sort out sending on your
personal belongings.

Thank you.

What happened?

They've started interviewing
candidates for my job.

Didn't even tell me they were
giving me the push. So...

They didn't say why?

There's no "they".
It's just her. Sociopath.

God help anyone who sees through her.

I thought they were sending you a cab.

Yeah. I don't need their shitty cab.

Sierra zulu 7-9, lavender inbound.

This is a breakdown of the
additional powers sought by ripa-18.

Mind if I steal your boss
for a minute, rob?

Uh, sure. See you inside.

Interesting TV interview.
You must be very proud.

I'd like to get into the chamber
if that's all right with you, Roger.

Planning to hijack the
counter-terror debate for a bit more

- shameless self-promotion?
- Is there a point to this conversation?

- Why aren't you returning my calls?
- Pardon me, ma'am,

for security reasons,
I'd prefer if you moved indoors.

You work for us, plod,
so wind your neck in.

I'm the fucking chief whip
and when I call, you answer.

We claim the centre ground
but you're heading off-piste.

The pm can count on my full support.

Bullshit. He's weakened. You're making
a move for the leadership.

Sir, ma'am, I really do
need you both to move inside.

Can't you call your monkey off?
Throw him some nuts.

I'm mixed-race.

Ringing tone

- hi.
- John. Roger penhaligon.

- You ok?
- No. Not great.

I need to record my side of
a conversation with one of the ppos.

Are you? Biracial?

No, ma'am.

Right, where were we?

Right. This is a summary

of the limitations
in existing legislation...

All clear, ma'am.

Sergeant budd.

Your shirt.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'm sorry about chanel. She took
her dismissal badly and my staff

thought you'd be the best
person to deal with it.

If you can talk someone out of
blowing up a train...

Want one?

On duty, ma'am.

Soft drinks in the fridge.

No... thank you, ma'am.

Do you prefer David or Dave?

I answer to both, ma'am.

You won't have heard yet

but we are going to charge
the male 1st of October attacker.

He appears to have plausible links
to islamist terrorists,

though I'm not at liberty
to say more at this stage.

That's good news. Thanks, ma'am.

And thanks to you, his wife's alive
to assist with our inquiries.

It seems I'm constantly finding
reasons to compliment you.

Not quite constantly.

Is there a mrs budd?

Yes, ma'am. Vicky. We have two children.

What are their names?

Ella and Charlie.

Your shifts must make
home life difficult.

I'm sorry. That was private.
I shouldn't have.

No, it's... you'd know, ma'am,
all these hours you work.

Goes with the territory.

Did you always want to be a politician?

I hope you don't mind me asking that.

I was a criminal barrister.

I witnessed at first hand how
the causes of crime often

have as much to do with a person's
upbringing and social circumstances.

I sought a role in which
I could make a real difference.

I'm keeping you.

May I ask, ma'am...

that interview you did on telly,
did you mean what you said?

I'm sorry?

About the middle east.

See, I don't say only what
the people want to hear.

I'm about doing the right thing
and making the hard choices.

The thing is, david/dave,
I don't need you to vote for me,

only to protect me.

Rest assured, ma'am.

I'll do what's required.

Ma'am.

Door closes

skipper.

He sighs

sorry, I was just getting ready for work.

I just wanted to apologise for
the other night.

Ok.

I was just having a couple of rounds
of toast but I can make you some.

You're all right, love. I'm fine.

The kids not up yet?

They're all right, aren't they?

Sleepover.

Both of them?

TV: Ripa-18 will give them that support.

Vic?

Look, don't take this the wrong way.

I know you're disappointed
to miss the kids, but...

maybe that's why it's best
that you call ahead

if you're going to come round.

I was hoping we could talk.

- Why?
- I've said I'm sorry.

Yeah, you always are.

You need help, Dave.

I need a job that pays the bills, Vic.

Yes. And I keep covering for you
so that you can keep it

but I've stopped being able
to stand back and watch.

You are getting worse, Dave.

Love, I'm sorry,
but we can work through this.

I've met someone.

He was here?

Overnight?

Yes.

- Still here?
- No.

Look, I... I was going to tell you.

You farm our kids out so you can
have your night together?

They're with their school friends.
They've had a lovely time.

Do they know?

They think that he's a friend.

Oh.

Dave...

Dave?

Let's not get divorced yet.

Oh, God, no. We're not that serious
or anything. It's early days.

In case anything happens to me at work...

you'll still get the pension
if we're legally married.

That the counter-terrorism
and security act 2015

simply does not go far enough.

Hi. Chanel.

Yeah, sorry.

I hope here's ok.

Oh, fine. Can I get you anything?

- No, please, let me.
- Maybe later.

Look, I know, but you
just always seemed open

to the wider possibilities of a story,

not one to regurgitate the press release.

Thanks very much.

And for getting in touch.

Julia montague's the woman of the hour,

so my editor didn't take much persuading.

"Woman of the hour."
Talk about an understatement.

You weren't able to give me much
detail over the phone.

Yeah, that's right. Well...

I just want to stop everyone
getting carried away

with this idea that she's
such a brilliant politician.

- How would you describe her?
- A sociopath.

The most dangerous person in the country.

More dangerous than the people

that she keeps calling
enemies of freedom.

- How's she dangerous?
- She's got an agenda.

To heighten fear, to destroy
debate and to seize power.

What evidence do you have to
substantiate these claims?

I've worked for two years
in the home office,

most of that time in daily contact
with Julia montague.

You were fired, chanel.

Yeah.

In whitehall, this isn't a story,

"aide gets fired.
Aide bad-mouths minister."

I'm trying to explain
how Julia's different.

But you're not explaining
how you're different

from any other disgruntled
former employee.

You've got my number and e-mail
if you find something concrete.

I hope things work out for you.

Are you getting in?
Do you want me to call someone?

That's the last thing I want you to do.

Open invitation.

For decades, the west

has been inflicting suffering
on the poor and powerless.

The war in the desert, in the oil fields,

we've brought it back
to the streets of britain.

There's kids growing up over here,

all they hear is what's been done
to families and friends over there.

Who can blame them
if they want to push back?

And when they push back,

our politicians act
like it's come from nowhere,

so they can pass laws
restricting our freedoms

and order new attacks against
the so-called terrorists,

and guess what?
The cycle of violence goes on.

Always wondered if
you'd turn up some time.

Soapbox is not really my thing, mate.

That's not how you were in helmand.

That was a crazy time out there.

I'm trying to put all that behind me.

I'm making a proper go of civvy street.

Put PTSD on your job application,
who's going to hire you, right?

Just because it's not visible...

Mate, you can't beat it on your own.

The counselling sessions,

they're really helpful.

- There's a bunch of us now, good...
- I'm good, thanks.

So what are you doing now?

Police.

Doing what?

Specialist protection.

Government ministers.
Are you fucking kidding me?

You're protecting those wankers?

You turn up after all this time
and tell me this shit?

What's that about?
You've got a fucking nerve, mate.

- I knew you'd understand.
- Understand what?

You said it out in helmand.

You say a lot of stuff

when you've seen your
best mates blown to pieces.

That if you ever found yourself
right beside one of those bastards

that sent us out there,

you'd just close your eyes
and pull the trigger.

You'd still have a face.

I'd still have a family.

Doors and seat belts.

Little bird told me

you were Johnny on the spot
at the 1st of October?

Yes, sir.

Looks like the home secretary
couldn't be in safer hands.

Lavender outbound.
