- Sam? - Mom!

Dad, can you hear me?

Dad.

Dad, where are you?!

I need to find my son!

Mom, what's happening?

He's blind. He can't see!

- I'm really scared. - Mom!

Wait!

Gonna make a wish?

Yeah? Did you do it?

- Yeah. - Good boy, good boy.

Right. This candle is, uh,

- fierce. - It's still going.

Okay, now we can cut the cake.

What flavor do you think it is, Sammy?

- Strawberry. - Yes.

- Nailed it. - Big piece

for the birthday boy.

Here comes your cake.

It's coming.

And there's your fork. Yeah? Got it?

- Okay. - Small piece? Big piece?

That's for Dad.

- Mmm, well, it looks good. - Let's see.

- How does it taste? - Amazing.

- Do you think it's time? - Yeah.

Would you like your gift?

- Yeah? All right. - Yes, please.

- Wait for a second. Great. - And...

here you go, my man.

No way.

Lewis Hamilton's F1 WO6 Mercedes.

Your dad had to scour the Internet

to find one.

Thanks. I love it.

Excuse me.

- Can you take our picture, please? - Sure.

All good. All good.

Happy birthday, Sam.

- Mom. - Did I embarrass you?

Yes, you embarrassed me. You always embarrass me.

And Sam.

- Did I? I'm sorry. - Yes.

Oh, fine. It's fine. It's over now.

What's the matter?

I think it's time for someone to learn how to drive.

Andy, no.

- Why not? - No.

My father put me behind the wheel

when I was his age.

He's got this. You've got this,

- right, Sam? Okay. Come on. - Definitely.

- Seriously. - Come on, this is gonna be awesome.

Okay, I always knew I was gonna die young.

- Okay, come on. Let's go. - Oh, my God.

- Watch your head. - Mom, I don't know.

- All right, we're doing it. - And...

- All right, now... - Oh, my God.

I'm gonna be your eyes, Sam, okay?

We're just gonna go straight and easy

for a minute. So, taking my hands off the wheel,

and now I am taking my foot

off of the brake.

- And here we go. - Okay...

That's it. That's all you, Sam.

That's it.

- Straight and easy. - Is he doing it?

- He's doing it. - Yes.

- A little bit left. - Oh, my God.

Can we go faster?

Hang on, people.

F1 superstar Sam Yeats wants more speed. Here we go.

- You're doing it, baby. You're really doing it. - You're doing it.

- Oh, my God. - I'm doing it.

Yes, you are.

Happy birthday, Sam.

Okay.

Andy?

I just...

Give me a minute.

He's never done this before.

Ever. Just...

summoned me out of the blue.

So...

whatever's happening, it has to be serious.

Yeah.

And you have to fix it?

It's a massive corporation. There must be a hundred people

- he could call. - No, Elena.

- There aren't. - Andy,

your son is having surgery.

And I will be there.

I'll meet you in Paris.

I'll be there.

Dad?

Are you leaving?

Because I was going to read some "Treasure Island"

to you before bed.

Yes, Sam, I have to leave.

Um... There's been an emergency where I work, and I need to go

see if I can help.

S-So, you're not coming to Paris?

- To my operation? - Of course I am. It's Tuesday.

Your surgery's on Friday, and it's

gonna be amazing, and I'll be there

because, evidence to the contrary,

your father is not as big a jerk

as your mother thinks he is right now.

Love you, Dad.

Oh...

I love you, my man,

and I will be there.

Okay? I promise.

Dad, can I go to Edinburgh?

Of course... not.

What's in Edinburgh?

Big climate march this weekend.

Uh, isn't there one of those here this week?

One of "those," yeah.

It's really weird, me trying to wake people up.

It's also weird to travel to Scotland

when you've got a demonstration right on your doorstep.

All those unnecessary emissions.

You might say it's morally irresponsible.

But, hey, I could see why you'd be interested.

Edinburgh's a very fun town.

Well, I think it's ironic

that there's all these climate marches going on,

and here you are rushing off

to do your oil overlords' bidding.

You know, I don't think that's the proper usage of "ironic."

Yeah, I think "shitty" is maybe a better word.

Really, Laura, this is hard enough.

Yeah, well, I mean,

I can see why it's hard missing out on duty free

'cause you're in your private jet.

I mean, for me, what's hard is people are dying

because of the dystopian hellscape that you are trying

- to create. - Look after the house while we're gone.

You know mum drinks when you're away.

She does not.

And be nice to your mother,

all right? And no parties.

- I'm not making any promises. - I don't want this house

smelling like a pub when I get back.

- Have fun saving the world. - Have fun destroying it.

It's the Al Shizal refinery. It's a mess.

Systems shut down, equipment failure. You name it,

- we got it. - The scientists' assessment?

We need your particular brand of molecular science to fix it.

Something's wrong with the oil, Andy.

They've never seen anything like it.

I'm assuming you've shut down the plant?

And we're hemorrhaging lots of cash.

Whatever you can do to fix this,

me and the Al Shizal team are at your disposal.

These are our findings so far.

I'll read them on the drive out.

I'm worried, Andy.

Something bad's happening here.

We'll get to the bottom of it.

Thank you. Thank you, Andy. I knew I could count on you.

Please.

One more thing, the British government's sent

- a representative. - The British government?

She'll be shadowing you during your time here.

Mika Bakhash, Andy Yeats.

- Pleasure to meet you. - Yeah, likewise.

I'm curious as to why the British government

would send a rep.

International supply networks require that our partners

be apprised of any situation.

I'm sure Mr. Al-Rashid is handling

our interest in the region with suitable discretion.

And what is the government's interest?

Same as yours, I imagine. If there's a problem

with Luzrah's oil supply,

the consequences will be far-reaching,

- and the U.K. depends... - Gets its oil from the North Sea,

- so that doesn't really track. - Cause and effect, Andy.

When one domino falls, the rest are sure to follow.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Andy, you know Farooq.

Part of my security team.

Miss Bakhash, Farooq.

Andy, keep me posted.

Of course, Khalil.

Miss Bakhash.

Andy.

Mr. Rashid wanted you to have it. Secure line.

- You'll be in Paris in two days. - Yes.

- Excellent. - Two days?

Well, then I'm gonna have to restrain myself not to look over

your shoulder too much.

I'm guessing restraint's not your strong suit.

Okay, this landmark used over 18,000

individual metallic parts,

2.5 million rivets, and 40 tons of paint.

And buried underneath, there's a secret bunker used during

- World War II as a military radio base. - Really?

Yes, Mum, the Eiffel Tower.

You are so smart.

Okay, sweetheart, jump out.

The hospital's only a few blocks away.

We're just gonna walk the rest of the way. It's not far.

Right.

All right.

How you feeling? Are you ready?

I'm supposed to say yes, but no, not really.

Me neither.

But we still have two days to prepare ourselves,

- and we're tough, right? - Right.

Okay.

Let's do this.

None of this would be possible

without you, Elena. Four years ago,

I would have said it wasn't possible, but

we moved so much faster than we dreamed,

and so much of that is because of you.

Well, I think your research had a little something

- to do with it. - There wouldn't have been

any research without your fundraising.

Pediatric onset RP wasn't even on the map until you came along.

And you, Sam,

it's because of your perseverance

through all the poking and prodding and...

My sincere apologies for all of that.

It's okay.

You know what?

If all goes well,

so many more like you, Sam, may have the chance to see again.

For that,

we are all truly grateful.

Thank you, my boy, thank you.

Louise.

- Oui, Doctor. - Come with me.

The first series of pre-operative tests

will take a few hours.

He'll be sedated.

So, take a break and come back.

He'll be hungry for dinner when he wakes.

- Okay. - I'm serious, Elena.

You've been fighting this battle a long time.

Tomorrow is another big day of tests,

so... take a breath.

Have a cocktail,

or two, or ten.

Okay.

I'm taking a break in a few hours.

I can meet you, if you'd like.

Answer any lingering questions.

Yeah. Someone to talk to would be nice.

Okay. Perfect.

I'll text you a place nearby.

Hey.

So, what would you like me

to bring you for dinner?

Chocolate croissants.

Chocolate croissant? Okay.

- And tea. - You got it.

You're doing great.

I am so proud of you.

I'm not scared.

Well, it's okay if you are.

There's nothing wrong with being scared,

but we're gonna do this together,

every step of the way.

Okay.

- Love you. - Love you.

I'll see you in a bit.

Is there anything in the data that jumps out at you?

I'd hate to speculate before I've taken my own samples...

Any, uh, preliminary hypotheses?

Some form of contamination.

Right. In the crude, or in the refined product?

It's too early to tell.

Remind me,

which government department did you say you worked for?

I didn't.

The, uh, Department of Trade and Industry.

Right.

Wait, didn't you guys have a rebrand?

Isn't it now the Department of...

Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, yes.

But us old-timers

can't help but refer to it as we did in the glory days.

Once you have your samples,

how long before you think you'll know

something a little more concrete?

Right.

Restraint. Understood.

What are they, uh, saying?

How are the kids?

You look fantastic. Why is this lady asking

so many questions that he can't possibly know the answer to yet?

How kind of them to ask.

Uh, something about the weather.

There's a storm coming.

Save our planet! Save our planet!

Save our planet!

...the world's scientists

and given them all the evidence we need!

Save our planet!

Save our planet!

Get out of our way!

It-It's not a protest.

It's a bloody riot. Are you sure

- you want to get in the middle of all that? - I can't think

of a better place to be!

Here in London, right beside Parliament,

one more attempt to wake the dead

before they kill us all.

Climate is the only thing

that affects all of us, and today, that means

protesters and counter-protesters. I mean,

for fuck's sake, what kind of a person

wants to protest against healing our planet?

Save our planet! Save our planet!

Port officials were alerted

when the ship's captain radioed a distress call,

citing a sudden loss of power.

This is the third such floundering of a ship

in the North Atlantic in the past 24 hours.

- Hey. - Hey.

This is for you.

Well, Sam.

- "Treasure Island." - His favorite, right?

Mm-hmm. About a boy on a great adventure.

And it's in print, not braille.

What can I say? I'm an optimist.

Thank you.

So, tell me,

how are the family holding up?

Well, we were all so determined to see this through together

when Sam first got his diagnosis, but, uh,

yeah, it's been stressful.

I have to say, I was concerned when I saw

Andy wasn't here with you.

He said he'll be here for the surgery, so...

And you don't believe him?

I do. I... don't.

I... don't know. He's, um...

Well, he does what he can.

He does work hard.

And if you asked him, he'd tell you he does his part.

Of course he would.

Anyway, enough about that.

How are you?

I'm... nervous.

Mm-hmm.

Excited.

I'm ready for this to be done, for Sam to be well.

For me to get back to work.

The consulate has offered me another position.

They want me to come back, which...

really means a lot to me.

How could they replace you?

A lawyer with your stature?

Now you're just being kind.

Being with colleagues

who respect me.

I think you understand that feeling.

Yeah.

Is there something the representative

from Trade and Industry is not telling me?

Government business is just that... government business.

You're really good at that.

The non-answer answer.

I am sensing a trust gap between us.

I couldn't agree more. Just trying to figure out

what you're actually doing here.

You know what I'm doing here.

To not look over my shoulder too much.

Precisely.

Right.

What are your first impressions?

Well, the combustion temperature

is point eight degrees Celsius too low.

The viscosity has deviated outside the parameters

at... both limits, actually.

Okay.

But that's just a preliminary analysis.

Listen, I need to sample all the distillates.

It's gonna take most of the night,

so, you might want to find some place

to make yourself comfortable,

and, uh, we'll leave for the lab first thing.

How quickly will the lab be able to get back with results?

Should be quick, but if they don't come in

before my flight tomorrow,

they can email me the results in Paris.

Because that is where I'm gonna be.

Hey, Laura!

- Here you go, Suzy. - Oh, thanks.

Aah! Fuck!

- Oh, well... - Uh...

That's tragic.

Maybe you should help him.

What?

- Don't play coy. - Ah.

Oh, fuck.

I'll, uh, have one of those, if you're making?

You're putting your life in my hands. Hmm.

I'll take my chances.

Didn't know you were a friend of Laura's.

Yeah.

Yeah. She's an interesting one.

I suppose.

A little, uh, aggressive.

Passionate.

Can't really compete with these justice warrior types,

- now, can I? - Didn't you say something

about making me a drink?

And how are you two doing?

- How'd it go today? - Lucas...

Dr. Leguarec... said everything's looking really, really good.

And what about my boy?

How are you feeling?

Good. Did you know

the French Grand Prix is next month?

- Is it? - Lewis Hamilton will be there.

Well, maybe Sam Yeats should be there, too.

Really? Dad, can we go, please?

I don't see why not.

Mum?

I think you gents would have a wonderful time.

So, when will you be here?

Well, I'll be working all night, but

I booked a flight for tomorrow night.

- Right. - I'll be there.

Well, I know that will make a certain someone very happy.

Won't it, Sammy?

Dad, can I tell you a secret?

Get Mom

some flowers.

You bet. I can do that.

- Love you, Dad. - I love you, too, Sam.

Bye.

Mika?

Hello?

Got to say, West London suburbs...

Actually, we got the horse to help with Sam's therapy.

How did you get so into all this environmental stuff?

My mom took me to the States when I was little.

- Mm-hmm. - Northern California.

- Back when Mom and I used to do things together. - Nice.

Yeah, it was beautiful. We, um... we were staying

in this lodge in Yosemite.

And one day, we went on this hike.

And I just wandered off.

I got completely lost.

And something happened out there.

It's hard to explain right now.

But... but I wasn't afraid.

And so I believe that once you've seen the truth,

then it becomes your responsibility

to help other people see it, too.

What?

Uh, nothing. Just...

you're not what I expected.

L-Laura, look.

I-I mean...

are you messing with me?

- Because I'm... - Because-because you're what?

Super smart? Ambitious, working your way through uni?

I was gonna say a boring computer geek

with questionable social skills.

Shamal storm coming, sir.

We need to drive like hell, Farooq.

We need to get those samples to the Luzrah lab,

like, yesterday.

Come on, Elena. Pick up.

Hi. I can't take your call.

Please leave a message.

Yeah. I'll call you as soon as we know.

There have been reports of power outages across the U.K.

And France. Mobile signal is patchy at best.

And now odd things are happening with tankers

in Suez blocking shipping lanes.

At this moment, they're reporting hundreds

of ships down in the Atlantic and Pacific.

They're all reporting

- fuel issues. - They said that?

"Fuel issues"?

Is anyone else reporting problems with their oil?

We are still collecting data on that.

You're not telling me something.

Three weeks ago, the government picked up chatter.

Chatter? I didn't realize you Business Enterprise folks

monitored chatter.

It centered around the impending attack

on high-value oil industry assets.

So, when we heard about the irregularities here...

So you think this is deliberate? An attack?

Christ. When were you gonna fill me in on that?

And you speak Arabic?

What is going on? What is that?

- You got to get away from him! - Who are those guys?

Come on! Stay down! Come on, let's go!

What the hell is going on now?

Shit!

Shit!

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on! Come on! Move it!

- What the fuck?! - Stay down!

Mika?!

Wait!

Stay down!

Take it!

No.

Take the fucking gun.

I'm afraid you're not going to make it to Paris.
