LINUS, ON COMPUTER: They're coming for me.

I know they're coming for me.

They've shut down all my accounts. I can't get online. I can't do anything.

Roman, if you're watching this, then you've got the files.

We have to get you somewhere safe.

Somewhere far away from here. - And how are we gonna do that, Dad?

The first thing we have to do, Roman, is you have to delete all of these files

and then you have to destroy this computer

and, and your phone... - It won't make any difference, Dad.

They'll track me down. - Then we'll just have to move faster

than they do, alright. We'll, we'll figure it out, Roman.

We'll figure it out, I promise you. But first get rid of that data

and do not talk to anyone.

What about Mum?

Uh... you, you leave Mum to me.

Brutus. What are you doing?

Come here. - DOG WHINES

I had a dog.

His name was Bob.

Best friend I ever had.

He used to sneak up into my room at night

and curl up next to me...

My Dad...

he didn't like that.

My Dad didn't like Bob much at all.

He died when I was fourteen.

Your dog or your...?

Bob.

My Dad caught me feeding him under the table.

Hit him so hard, he lost the use of his back legs.

And he said he was gonna put him out of his misery...

So that night, Bob and I, we ran away.

He didn't make it...

He didn't make it very far.

My Dad was right. When he died, it was kind of a relief

not to see him suffer anymore.

But I never went back.

Well...

I guess it's good that something positive came out of

what must have been a very difficult time.

You know you got no chance out there?

Right. - You know?

at some stage...

you're gonna die.

I don't think that's true.

You're all gonna die.

But, err...

you're gonna do it anyway.

Good for you.

Listen to that, eh?

Yeah. - I timed her myself.

All them Porches and Ferraris, nowhere near as fast. Nowhere near.

It's not just about speed though, is it?

Did I say that it was? I didn't say that.

You're putting words in my mouth. - I'm not here to pick a fight.

I wanted to clear the air.

What? You mean that thing with the cops?

All I did was give them the address.

And I'm sorry about that. Of course I am.

Nothing personal.

What do you say we put it behind us? Let bygones be bygones.

Eh? - Sure.

Alright.

You take care of yourself out there.

You too. Let the best man win.

What did he have to say that for?

Say what? He didn't say anything?

"Let the best man win". By which he means him.

So he's saying he's the best man.

Whatever you're rattling on about, it's not as important as this.

JENNY: The race is about to start

and everything we need to know is in there... somewhere.

Dad really didn't like computers, did he?

ROMAN: Analog's safer.

You can't hack into its folder and wipe its hard drive.

JENNY: Your father spent weeks working on that file.

He knew the race was heading north so he, he figured out

No Mum. It's telling us we're in last place.

Correction. Now we're in last place.

EXPLOSION

FEMALE OFFICER: All units, be advised multiple targets incoming.

Do you hear that?

That's the sound of us catching up.

That's not the sound of us catching up, Mum.

That's the sound of everyone else getting killed.

Oh.

Yeah, "oh".

Fucking hell man. You're in.

Still got to face the big boss at the end of the level.

Keep going man, you got this...

Shit. Quick. Quick.

Come on guys. Time to go home.

Yes sir.

Right come on, we ain't got long.

ROMAN: Are you sure we should be doing this?

LINUS: Don't worry.

Quick. - Oh!

OK, yes! - That's what I'm talking about man!

Come on, yes!

LINUS: You fucking did it man, we are in...

It's just another conspiracy theory

made up by people with too much time and data at their disposal.

No think about it. If they have a cure, do you seriously think they'd just hand it over?

Err, yeah...

Nah maybe in a world run by pixies and fairies

but I hate to break it to you Roman, that's not the world we live in.

I never said it was. - It's all about business.

If they find a cure, they're gonna monetize the fuck out of it.

That's how Brookeheath roll man. But you're gonna change all that...

No, we're gonna change all that.

Me and you, we're gonna expose them for the evil fuckers they really are.

I don't know man.

I should probably be getting back...

Come on. I've got about ten thousand files to go over before we post them.

I can't do that if they're encoded.

Hey Linus. Got any spare chips going? Yeah. No worries.

Thank you. Thank you. Good day at school you two?

Yeah. I was just trying to persuade Roman to come help me

with this project we've been set.

Well it's fine by me. Curfew's not for another hour yet.

Oh I don't know.

I've got some other stuff I need to do.

Why don't we take a look at it tomorrow, alright?

Alright... Sweet.

Peace. - Hey, safe.

Take it easy Mr Donahue

He left me hanging.

Nah.

I'll see you later.

See you later dad. - Come on Brutus...

JENNY: Come on Roman, we need to know which bridge to head for...

MEGAN: Yeah Roman, come on.

VOICE OVER RADIO: Calling all ambulance crews.

All available Med Vac units from Guy's Hospital are requested

to attend the north side of Tower Bridge.

Severe casualties expected at the south side checkpoint.

We need to get off this road right now.

MICHAEL: What are you doing? - This is Team 21

to all other contestants. You need to get off the A3 straight away.

There's a massive security presence at Tower Bridge.

They know about the race.

They will have secured every bridge in the city

so you need to find a different way across the river.

We need to warn them.

We don't need to do anything.

The rules are really simple. Win. That's all that matters.

We're not like the other racers, are we? We're not doing this for ourselves.

Yeah Michael, we've got a "higher purpose".

We can't sit back and let people die.

Who's the best man now, you piece of shit?

What did you say to him, Michael? - I didn't say anything.

Look, how do you patch me through on this thing?

You actually know this guy?

What? Cos you thought the race was gonna be too easy?

What happened to letting bygones be bygones?

OVER RADIO: You insulted me.

MICHAEL: When did I insult you?

You said I was a piece of shit driver.

I didn't say that.

OVER RADIO: You implied it.

All I'm doing is proving you wrong.

MICHAEL But that's crazy, look...

I'm not even driving.

I don't give a fuck.

THEY GRUNT - DEVICE BEEPS

Yes! - MICHAEL: Easy!

Pass me the bag.

I'm not passing you the bag.

You made a promise, Errol.

You said there'd be no more crazy shit

and you didn't just make that promise to me, you made it to our baby.

This is different. - It's not different.

This is exactly the kind of crazy shit I was talking about.

Now, I can't deal with two babies, Errol.

We need to win this race

so I'm gonna need you to stay true to your promise.

Can you do that or not?

Course I can.

A promise is a promise.

ENGINE STARTS

JENNY: Are you sure this is the right way?

Maybe we should pull over. Just until we've decided.

We don't need to pull over, Mum. We just got to follow signs for the A214.

No way is that a four. It looks more like an "H".

ROMAN: There is no A-21H.

MEGAN: Uh, that's what it says right there.

ROMAN: That's not an "H". It's a four.

Do you want me to have a look? - It's definitely left, OK?

JENNY: Alright, take a left then Zane.

Do we actually know how we're gonna get over the river?

JENNY: Your Dad already had a plan for everything. It's all in there.

ROMAN: I... I've got it.

Wandsworth Bridge.

According to Dad it's the only bridge with a vantage point

that's accessible from the road.

We should have a good view of the check point.

Well let's head there then.

Still doesn't look like a four.

JENNY: Does it say what we do when we get there?

It's hard to say exactly.

But it's definitely got something to do with projectile ballistics.

ROMAN: This is it. Now we have to go up.

We need a view of the bridge.

This whole plan is about this pulse beacon.

As soon as this thing's activated it will generate a high pitch frequency

which the mooks go crazy for.

Just so we're clear.

Dad's amazing plan for getting us over the river was

to set off a device which actually attracts those things.

Yup.

According to Dad - we get this on the bridge and it will start a chain of events

to clear a way through. - Yeah. According to Dad.

When creature density is high enough, the army will deal with it for us.

Look!

There it is Wandsworth Bridge.

JENNY: Jesus, there's a whole army down there.

ROMAN: The mooks will come out from wherever they are.

How do we get this thing onto the bridge?

Say hello to my little friend.

Have you used one of those before?

Sure Mum, he started taking bazooka classes right after he gave up tap.

Maybe Zane should fire it darling, you know

seeing as we've only got one go.

It's pretty straight forward.

Are you sure about this?

You just...

Woah.

Shit.

GRIEVES: Broken security, unexpected.

Jesus Christ.

What the fuck is that?

KOVACKS: She was infected.

Her name is Helen Newman.

GRIEVES: Professor Newman.

Whoop-de-fucking-do!

GRIEVES: Is she gonna live?

UNDERHILL: Well, we'll have a better idea after we've

completed our preliminary investigations.

but it would've helped if your man hadn't shot her.

GRIEVES: When she wakes up I'll need to talk to her.

UNDERHILL: I don't think she has spoken for a number of years.

Recurrent Laryngeal nerve paralysis, it's a curious side effect of the virus.

I'd say the odds of you getting an interview are fifty-fifty at best.

So...

Garwick breaks out of here

and the first person he goes to see is Professor Mooky here

who just so happens to be the scientist in charge of the trials at Kiloran.

The question is...

why?

Well...

I think I'll leave that question to the detectives.

ROMAN ON RADIO: Team 11 to Team 21, come in. Over.

Turn it off.

Team 21, please come in, over.

MEGAN: How do we know they're gonna have one?

ROMAN: It's in the file. All ambulances carry them.

Team 21, we need your help.

And we pretty much guarantee we can help you in return.

I'm answering it.

You have no idea who it could be.

Not everyone involved in this race is a homicidal maniac.

Oh, well, apart from your friend.

You know that one that just tried to kill us.

KAYE: Team 11, this is Team 21. We read you over.

We think we have a proposal which could be mutually beneficial.

KAYE: What did you have in mind?

ROMAN: If your ambulance carries a pack of standard issue pulse beacons

We can help you.

Can you be a little bit more specific?

We'll give you more details when we meet.

But we can definitely help you get across the river.

Head to Wandsworth Bridge. Sending coordinates.

Hey, wait a minute...

How can we trust them, it could be a trap.

KAYE: Look, we have no other way across the river. So..

let's just hear these guys out.

KAYE: We're on our way.

Nice one Bro...

Roman?

Have you seen Linus? He wasn't at registration.

Haven't seen him, sir.

Everything alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just looking through some old files for my coursework.

Hey you seen Linus at all?

No. I mean he wasn't at school today.

His bike is outside and there are removal men at his house.

Looks like they're moving out.

He didn't mention anything?

No...

but, like I said, he wasn't at school today, so...

Sure you're alright? - Yeah I'm fine.

Honestly Dad.

OK.

DONAHUE: What have you got there?

It's not mine.

And in the other pocket.

KAYE: I think we've arrived.

What floor are you on?

We're up on the roof. Head straight to the top.

What if it's just some trap to fuck us over

or slow us down or something?

I don't think so darling. She was the one that warned everyone

about the roadblock on the bridge.

And anyway, according to Dad

it's OK to team up if... - MEGAN: Stop saying that.

Dad's dead.

He barely made it out of the house before he got eaten by a fucking monster.

He didn't have a section in his file

for that, did he? - Megan!

What happened to your father...

None of us have come to terms with it yet.

He was the most...

loyal...

brilliant...

and irritating man I ever met

but he had a plan.

He always had a plan

and he believed in it.

And I believe in him.

The last thing we need to do is to start doubting him.

Your brother's right.

We just have to have a little bit of faith in these people.

And then we fire that bomb onto the bridge

and then all we have to do is wait.

Isn't that right Roman?

ROMAN: Yeah.

According to Dad.

THUDS INSIDE BUILDING

Don't tell me you still think it's a trap.

Look at them. They're terrified.

That doesn't mean anything anymore.

JENNY: Hi.

KAYE: Hi.

This what you're after?

KAYE: Hey.

I think we're in business.

What now?

Now we wait.

Did you bring any crisps?

I did, but I want you to eat a sandwich first.

I've got egg mayonnaise or cheese and pickle.

ROMAN AND MEGAN: Cheese and pickle please, Mum.

JENNY: I wanted to say thank you.

Not everyone would've responded to our call.

Yeah.

Well uh... not everyone in this race is a homicidal maniac.

JENNY SCOFFS

Is that alright? - Yeah.

Thanks. - Hm...

So...

talk me through this again.

Basically, when the creature density on the bridge

gets over two hundred per hectare

the central security defence protocol kicks in

and they send in the drone bombers which blow everything up.

You better be right.

Have faith, Mister.

My brother knows what he's doing.

IN A PATRONISING VOICE: Isn't that right?

GUNFIRE - JENNY: I think it's starting to work now.

ROMAN: Yeah, whatever that frequency is, the creatures can't get enough of it.

Where are they all coming from?

All over. It's like giving them crack.

Apparently.

DONAHUE (VO): And the files you downloaded...?

ROMAN (VO): That was Linus.

I just wanted to leave a message, you know.

Let them know how lame their security systems were, but...

Linus said the files were important.

But you've no idea what's on them? - No.

I told him it could leave a trail...

that's why we used his IP address, instead.

Maybe I should just hand myself in...

I mean technically I'm still a kid so there could be a case for leniency.

There's no such thing as leniency.

Not anymore.

They'll lock you up and throw away the key.

You are brilliant.

Don't you ever forget that.

That's weird.

They're coming for me. I know they're coming for me.

They've shut down all my accounts. I can't get online.

I can't do anything...

Roman if you're watching this then you've got the files.

It's dark man it's Brookeheath, it's fucked up!

The whole virus, it was them.

They were there from the beginning

and they'll do anything to make sure no one knows.

We, we have to get you somewhere safe.

We have to get you somewhere far away from here.

And how are we going to do that, Dad?

The first thing we have to do, Roman, is you have to delete all of these files

and then you have to destroy this computer

and, and your phone. - It won't make a difference, Dad.

They'll track me down. - Then we'll just have to move faster

than they do, alright? We'll figure it out, Roman.

We'll figure it out. I promise you.

But first get rid of that data and do not talk to anyone.

MICHAEL: Got to hand it to you, kid.

We've got about a three minute window until they dispatch reinforcements.

Will it hold?

It'll hold.

Might want to take a run up though.

Quite a barbecue you've been having.

You planning on driving across that?

It's a three-span cantilever bridge so the structure's pretty sound.

I remember you.

You're the smart kid, aren't you?

We should get going.

Structurally sound you say?

Well apparently it carries 50,000 vehicles a day, so...

No not today it doesn't.

Today it's carrying 49,998.

How d'you work that out?

Simply the best, Motherfucker.
