We are officers of the state.
We do not play God.

Then what God is going to save
these people? Sea level's rising.

Oil's running out.

Terrorists are going nuclear.

Do you really think this
current system is capable
of dealing with that?

Adam!

Adam, it's Ros, can you hear me?
Are you hurt? Adam!

You're all aware that on the
last mission I had a...a bad moment.

I'd appreciate it if this just,
you know, this stayed in the team.

I don't think Harry needs to know.

Are you seeking treatment?

For what?

Well, I think nowadays they call it
post-traumatic stress disorder,
but I still prefer burn out.

Sometimes I think it was stupid,
selfish of us, to have a child.

What kind of a world's
he going to know?

The Met Office has issued a flood
warning to the south-east of England.

A depression in Scotland is now
moving down into the North Sea.

Low barometric pressure, combined
with one of the highest spring tides

in 50 years, is likely to result in
historically high water levels in the
Humber, Stour and Thames estuaries.

The effects of a severe flood
in London would be catastrophic.

The central part of the London
Underground would be paralysed.

Flood defences are being activated
and the authorities are confident

that these defences are sufficient
to repel a tidal surge.

Robert Cash, Department of the
Environment and Rural Affairs.

I'm here with the
International Delegation.

Thank you, sir.
We've been expecting you. Carry on.

No, Mum, of course it's not a hassle.
I really want to see you.

I'll call you on your mobile
if I'm going to be delayed.

Is it?

All right,
well I'd better be on time then.

OK, see you later.

Bye.

Good morning, everyone.
I'm Alan Jackson, your guide.

You've picked quite a day, what with
the depression on the Atlantic.

So we heard.
It's going to get very busy later on
so we should make a start.

'Bringing new attention
to the threat of climate change.

'A recent study...'

Morning, Carlos.

Thank you. And the almond croissant.

Rush-hour traffic.

They should ban all cars -
except mine. Thank you.

The central piers are out
of bounds to the public

and we keep professional and
academic visits to a minimum.

The closing operation
is managed from the control

building on the South Bank,
but we have various on-site backup
systems in case of power failure.

We're about to enter one
of four central pier chambers.

Each of these piers houses a gate
weighing 3,700 tonnes and standing
as high as a three-storey building.

Truth is, this little beauty
is London's guardian angel.

Without it, there'd be no London.

Shall we move on? No, you're OK.

We'll go on alone from here.

Go!

ALARM SOUNDS

Oh, shit! Shit!

It's my gym stuff, can't wear this
to judo. It's not your gym stuff,
it's your judo stuff.

It's your gym stuff, um...

Where's my recycling project?

On the coffee table, there,
where you were doing it last night.

Oh, no, it's broken!

What? No, it isn't. Come here.

Look at that.

That's brilliant.

They're going to love it.
Now, you take that.

I've got your judo kit.
Come on, quick, let's go.

No, I'm sorry, he's not here.
Can I take a message?

Dr Jewell -

could he do Thursday?

Come on, move. Move!

Keep going.

Move! Out! Now! Out!

Turn round.

Right, you give this to the
British Government. Go, go.

Adam, the terrorists
are deep inside the barrier.

They're controlling
the central two piers.

All staff ejected. No news on
casualties but there were gun shots.

Do we have any news from the PLA?
They're putting out a cover story

saying they're stopping
all shipping. Do we have
contact with the terrorists?

Not yet. All comms are down.

OK, they should say it's
only a routine drill and the

Barrier's being raised for testing.
Zaf, contact the Barrier security.

Tell them the Home Secretary's
issued a quarantine on all
Barrier staff and visitors.

Make sure nobody leaves
the Barrier complex.

Confiscate all mobile phones.

This only gets out to the
press when we tell them. Adam.

COBRA will meet in 15 minutes.

Set up a secure negotiation line.

Deputy PM's on her way.

Deputy Prime Minister, welcome.

Joint Chiefs of Staff are waiting
for you in COBRA along with
engineers from the Barrier.

Harry, this is Janet Wheeler,
the Government's Chief Scientist.

Janet, good morning.
The Prime Minister has
authorised me to take the chair.

He will be in contact
throughout the day from Tokyo.

Have you had any contact
with the terrorists?

Divine Earth stormed the
Barrier about 8.15 this morning.

Before sealing off
the central Barrier area,
they delivered a computer disc.

Our planet is dying.
Ice caps are melting.

Sea levels are rising by many metres.

Southern Europe will become a desert.
Northern Europe will experience a new

Ice Age where we'll all become
casualties of the climate's
revenge on mankind's insanity.

This is not tomorrow's problem.
The nightmare has already begun.

Unless our demands are met,
Divine Earth will today offer London
a warning of the chaos to come.

A chaos of our own creation.

What do we have on them?
Some form of environmental
terrorism not on our radar before.

CCTV footage from the Barrier's
being sent over now.

General Clark,
when can we expect contact?

They've kept one telephone line
open from the Barrier
to the bankside control building.

We've diverted the line
to Thames House.

My senior officer
is waiting for them to call.

How long can we cope without
control of the Barrier?

Deputy Prime Minister,
over the last few days there has

been a large low pressure system
driving east over the Atlantic,
creating a surge of sea water.

This combined with a high
spring tide will produce a six

metre wall of water in the Thames
Estuary at 5 o'clock this evening.

This kind of tide happens
two or three times every year.

The levels have been rising over the
last few years due to climate change

but the Barrier would normally
cope without a problem. It's a
stunning piece of engineering.

And without the Barrier?

The Environment Agency has created a
mapping programme showing the extent

of flooding in London for
every metre's height of water.

This surge would flood the
Essex flatlands and the Thames
Gateway within minutes.

Within an hour, the Houses
of Parliament, Waterloo

and Victoria stations would
be under six feet of water.

This flood would extend to Lambeth,
Fulham, Battersea, Hammersmith,

Putney, Barnes and as far
as Richmond and Twickenham.

Children, the old and the
ill will be the first victims.
Estimated death toll?

Without evacuation,
1.25 million people are at risk.

Deputy Prime Minister, we have a
phased city evacuation plan ready

to go and I have the necessary
troops standing by to enforce it.

I want to talk to these people before
we push any panic buttons.

There are two men missing
presumed dead - Alan Jackson,

the Barrier guide was shot trying to
raise the alarm and a civil servant,
Robert Cash, still unaccounted for.

Don't tell their families yet. We
need to keep this absolutely quiet.

For sure. Well, get back to
me as soon as you've got it.

Oh, and a Dr Jewell rang,
I said you'd ring her back. Right.

Yeah that's the uh...

the shrink, I've been
seeing her a couple of times.

How's that going?
Fine. She's given me the all clear.

Recommended a couple of extra orange
juices and go easy on the self-pity.
So you're not seeing her any more?

What?

You're not seeing her any more?

No.

Adam, we have something.

We ran an ID check on all the
delegates. The three that have

remained on the Barrier are from
the Dutch Environmental Commission.

Unless we've declared a tulip
embargo, it's probably not the Dutch.

Look, CCTV of the Dutch delegation
checking in to the Fitzwallace
Hotel in Mayfair last night.

And this is them checking out
this morning. Different people.

They had full ID - photocards,
paperwork, vetting forms, everything.

How did an environmental
terror group manage to replace
a government commission?

And where are the delegates?

CCTV from the Barrier entrance.

He's not exactly camera-shy.

Let's find out who he is.

Adam!

Adam, they're calling!

This is Nick Harding representing
the British Government.
Did you get the disc?

Who am I speaking to?
That doesn't matter.

We're missing a British civil
servant, Robert Cash, and a member
of Barrier staff, Alan Jackson.

Can you confirm what happened
to them? We heard gunshots.

I'm sorry that happened but if
people don't listen, they may suffer
the consequences.

What do you want?

The British Government are
in possession of a document.

It's called Aftermath.
Never heard of it.

It exists. What is it?

You'll find that out when
you publish it. And if we refuse?

We won't close the Barrier
gates for the high tide tonight.

And at 5 o'clock this evening,
London floods. And if we publish it?

We'll leave the Barrier
and give ourselves up for arrest.

How do I know I can trust you?
I'll call you at 10.45.

Try anything silly and we blow the
hydraulics on all four central piers.

Three-pound of Grade A Semtex.
And if that goes up,
the Barrier never closes.

The Dutch delegates
have been picked up. They were tied
up in their hotel room.

Have we got
anything on Aftermath yet? The
obvious assumption from the disc was

an environmental connection but
we've checked every DEFRA database

and no environmental or rural
issue has any mention of Aftermath.

Yeah, we've also checked Government
strategy on the effects of chemical

and biological attacks on major
cities - no mention of Aftermath.
Nuclear? Same story.

All we've come up with so far is
a mental health charity in Sheffield.
and a thrash metal rock band in Iowa.

For God's sake, Malcolm,
this isn't a bloody joke.
They're playing with us.

They're using a fictional document
as a smokescreen to justify doing
as much damage as possible.

We get the blame and
they become martyrs to the cause.
I'm going to go and brief COBRA.

Ros, you look after things
from here. Sure.

Yeah, this is Dr Susan Gold,
Head of Psychiatry at the
Merlin Institute in Roehampton.

Yeah, I'm sending through
request form P334 now.

Come on, Harry, are you telling me
this is the best you can do?
We still have seven hours.

It isn't possible to negotiate
with someone who wants something
that doesn't exist.

Divine Earth don't want money
so we have nothing to offer them.
There must be something we can do.

They have CCTV cameras
monitoring both tunnels,

we can't get to them or the
explosives without being seen.

They've cut power, heating, air
supply. It's like a fortress.

Why have they cut the air supply?

They're probably worried we'd use
the vents to get at them. Could we?

We'd need the power back on.
Can we reconnect the power
to the air supply?

They've destroyed
the main circuit but there's
a power intercept box halfway across

the tunnel
leading from the north side.

You'd have to get to that without
being caught by the cameras.

Well, we could travel along the
plant tunnel underneath the floor.

And then what?

You could redirect the power
for the air supply to the mains.

It's a different circuit
to the one that they've destroyed.

So we reconnect the air supply...

And then we gas them. It would
have to work almost instantaneously
otherwise they'd detect it.

How big a space are we dealing with?
The central pier, lower section,
it's a 16 by 10 metre space.

Who's going in? We have a Special
Operatives Unit on standby.

I'll take them in. They'll never find
the intercept box in the darkness.

I know it better than anyone -
I helped design it.

Well, let's get going. I'm requesting
your authority to use an opiate

of a lethally high concentration.
The effect will be instantaneous.

We can't afford to take any risks.

If just one of them remains alive...

I can't stop my hands shaking.

Don't worry, Andrew,
you're going to be fine.

Andrew... Look, are you sure
you're OK to do this? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

On second thoughts
I think I'll come in with you.

I always like to see
a master at work. OK, great.

Thanks. And don't worry about
these, they're just a precaution.

We don't need to put them on
till the last minute.

They're in the tunnel. I've been
checking the Civil Service's vetting
procedure for the delegation.

They've got top security. There's
no way they could have slipped
through. Someone helped them? Who?

The only civil servant who had
access to all the papers was Robert
Cash. I thought Cash was dead.

No, no, that's what they wanted
us to think. He's with them.

Jo, get background ID on Cash.
Everything.

He's worked at the Department of
the Environment and Rural Affairs
for six years.

No known connections
with environment groups but he
visited America in 2005. Why?

He went to New Orleans.

Just after Katrina. Did he go
on behalf of the Government?
No, he went on an emergency visa.

Why would they issue him
an emergency visa? His daughter. She
died in the flood.

They never found the body.

OK, it's here.

All yours.

Barrier records show that Robert Cash
went on a preparatory site visit

two days ago with a junior from
the Department of the Environment.

They spent 20 minutes
on the Barrier alone. What was the
name of the junior? Simon Ritter.

No, there is no Simon Ritter
at the Department of Environment
and Rural Affairs.

They've
prepped the operation. What if
they know about the intercept box?

We've got to isolate the electricity
to the air supply. Malcolm!

We've got to connect it to the mains
without turning everything else on.

Malcolm, get Zaf out of there!
I can't, he's out of signal range.

Five, three, no six, zero.

Is there a problem?
It looks different.

What does? The wiring.

Maybe it doesn't. It must just be me.
I've got it.

Andrew, abort now...

EXPLOSION

PHONE BLEEPS

What the hell are you doing?
I have no idea.

Yes, you do. What have you done?

Wait.

Sir, we've got
to get out of here now.

It was an anti-personnel device -
sophisticated kit.

The explosion decapitated him.
He wouldn't have felt a thing.

Deputy Prime Minister,
these people are deadly serious.

I'm recommending we begin a phased
evacuation plan according to the
London Resilience Team strategy.

We don't have much time.
High tide is at 5 o'clock.

If we commit to evacuation, people
will die and we set in motion
something we cannot control.

The Stock Exchange crashes,
the markets go into a tailspin,

money pours out of the UK into
anywhere that'll take it. We enter a
major recession within hours.

I'm not giving these people
the satisfaction of
witnessing their own success.

We'll reconvene shortly.

In the meantime, I'd like you all
to investigate other solutions.

I don't understand, why won't she
evacuate? Something to hide?

We have a positive ID on the group.
He's the most interesting -
Craig Fletcher.

He used to work with Rachel
in New Orleans and guess what,
they were engaged.

Adam, Cash's daughter Rachel was
an activist working with the poor
black community in New Orleans.

When Katrina hit she disappeared.

Cash went over to find her
body but he never did.

In New Orleans
he met Craig Fletcher.

He worked for the same environmental
organisation as Rachel

trying to raise awareness of flood
risk due to climate change.

They're doing all this for
a dead girl? Hell of a memorial.

I'm on my way back.

Harry, this changes the picture.
They're acting out of grief.

We can't be sure
what their intentions are.
I have to get in there.

You told me we could
do this without hurting anyone.

It was always a possibility
if they didn't stick to their word.

Look, you've got to be
realistic about this, Robert.

We have committed to the greater
cause for Rachel.

We're making a difference
to this planet before it's too late.

OK? OK, let's see if they'll listen
to us now.

PHONE BLEEPS

I want to talk about New Orleans.

I want to talk about Rachel Cash.

Rachel Cash disappeared
in the flood in New Orleans.

Her body was never found.
That's what you and Robert
are doing there today.

I'm not interested
in personal conversations.
You'd better start evacuating.

Two people are dead already.
They had friends and families just
like Rachel.

If we're going to avoid more
killings, we need to talk now.

No way. No more talking.
We've had enough.

Aftermath exists.

You said it didn't.

I lied but no-one is going to let
you have it unless we trust you.
So we need to talk. So talk.

Not on the phone - face-to-face.

You've got to be kidding.

Then there's no deal.
You have to work with us, Craig.

'OK, come up the north tunnel.
Just you. Don't forget,

'I've got someone here with a finger
on the detonator.'

Your operative had no
authority to make that decision.

He had to find a way on to the
Barrier. Our best hope is to
negotiate face-to-face.

By confessing to some ridiculous
fiction? It weakens our position.
Aftermath does not exist.

It buys us time, it gets us
closer to the target. And then what?

What's he going to give them at the
end of it all?

The truth is simple - we have
nothing to offer these people

and the sooner they
find that out, the better.

This emits a tracker signal. We'll be
able to follow you wherever you go.

If you change the signal
from red to green, we'll
take that as an order to storm.

We need to get Divine Earth away
from the detonators
and the CCTV monitors.

It's the only way in, Adam.

If you can create enough of a
distraction, that'll give special
forces the 30 seconds they need.

Divide and rule.
More information on Craig Fletcher.

Ex-soldier, joined up at 17 and
was stationed in Northern Ireland,

awarded a medal for bravery when
his patrol unit in West Belfast
was ambushed by an IRA hit squad.

He saved the lives of two fellow
soldiers. Fast-tracked to officer

training at Sandhurst, became
a Lieutenant in peace keeping
forces in East Africa and Bosnia.

A spotless record. He retired
from the Army with full honours.

And now he's on a mission to
avenge the death of his girlfriend.

Solo negotiation is extremely risky.
Fletcher knows what he's doing,
don't take any unnecessary risks.

Don't worry, my doggy paddle's
unsurpassed.
PHONE RINGS

Deputy Prime Minister.

It's the right decision.

We have to hold our nerve.

I'm on my way back now.

She's jumpy and I don't
think it's Divine
Earth she's scared of.

I think it's what they're after.

Sorry, I don't quite follow.

I want to authorise a phone
tap - a somewhat sensitive one.
You don't mean...

That requires a
signature from the Prime Minister.

Come on, you've been
doing this almost as long as I
have, does it smell right to you?

Harry, I don't feel comfortable
with this. Report only to me.
Write nothing down. No traces.

Zaf, are you OK? Yeah.

We shouldn't
have sent Starkey in there.

He wasn't ready for it.

Listen, I know this probably
isn't the right time,

I'm meant to be meeting my mum
at the Tate Modern at 5 o'clock...

Have you tried calling her?
Yeah, her phone's off.

Jacket off, jewellery off.

Where's Adam? He's gone. Gone where?

The Barrier. Get him on
the phone. Well, it's not possible.
We can track him but we can't...

For the last three months
he's been suffering from
acute post-traumatic stress.

Read the final paragraph.

"The patient has agreed that
continuing in his current role risks
leading to a nervous collapse.

"He will request immediate
leave from all duties."

Get me who wrote this.

Three pound of Semtex on
each hydraulic mechanism.

The monitors are being watched
at all times.

We see anything strange on those
screens, or you try anything unwise,

she presses the button,
the whole thing goes up. OK?

BEEPING

Sit down.

Now, don't move.

Adam's with them in the lower area.
Harry?

Back in COBRA in five minutes.

I've downloaded every text from
Caroline Fox's phone today.

This one was sent at 11.47
to the Prime Minister's private
secretary, Michael Fitzgerald.

Five minutes after receiving Fox's
text, Michael Fitzgerald called
a private security company

with an order to deliver a parcel
from the back entrance of Number
Ten to an undisclosed address.

This is DZ43. Central Office.
Your 12.30 pick-up's been cancelled.

Time for a coffee.
Copy that.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Sir, this is DZ Security concerning
your delivery pick-up.

It's late, what's going on?
I'm afraid the van's stuck
in traffic in Bethnal Green.

It could be half an hour. I can
offer you a motorbike courier

with a secure lock-up facility, would
be there in less than five minutes.

I'm not sure how big the parcel is.
Get me the motorbike - fast.

Right away, sir.

Z3, move into position.

Give him the access code.

Aftermath -

a bilateral US-UK agreement

agreeing to end the fight against
global warming

and to focus strategy
on maximising economic, military
and political influence

in a world
devastated by climate change.

We give up fighting climate change.

And focus instead on being
the first to take advantage
of the consequences.

Aftermath advocates methodical
US and UK acquisition of
global fossil fuels

and other natural resources
in the 21st century in anticipation

of increasing resource scarcity,
oil depletion and spiralling prices.

It advocates sustained military
operations to secure natural
resource networks.

It anticipates a global population
reduction of between 20% and 35%.

This it describes as not only an
inevitability but a necessity.

Read the final recommendation.

The proposal recommends
implementing a cosmetic series
of environmental measures

to neutralise green lobbies,
whilst establishing an international
stranglehold on carbon resources

in the next hundred years.

This will involve the reintroduction
of a full nuclear weapons programme,

to create effective deterrents in
an unstable global climate.

In short - a Cold War scenario
for the environmental age.

Why did we not know this?!

That proposal is in the
early consultation stage.

Is that why you didn't consult
your Chief Scientist?

Not to mention military chiefs,
intelligence officials -

you're making senior establishment
figures look like schoolboys.

The necessity for discretion
makes wide consultation impossible.

And who exactly
are you consulting with?

Aftermath is a light-pencil proposal
that has been through no kind
of consultation process.

It must never be made public.

Why not? If that's what
you're really intending.

We publish that and basically
we're accepting the death
of millions of people.

If anyone even suspects we believe
global warming will
deliver this degree of change...

And you think it will?
Of course it will.

Everything Janet's been telling us
tells us it will.

The point is, we can't stop it
without destroying our economies.

There's no way international
governments will collaborate
in the way necessary

for a unified battle to be fought.
How do you know that?

Oh, come on, Janet, you've been
to Kyoto.

You think America will ever agree
to those cuts,
let alone China and India?

And that's
a fifth of what's required.

If we go it alone it will cripple us.
We'll be the dinosaur
of the global economy.

We must hold our position.

Then why not come clean,
open up the debate?

And watch confidence shatter? There'd
be a global crisis within days.

That's when the wars begin.

It strikes me that if Aftermath
is adopted then the wars
will begin anyway.

This is a direct order
from Downing Street - it doesn't
leave this room.

PHONE RINGS

Yes.

You're asking me to
break the Hippocratic oath.

I have an operative in a situation
where one wrong decision

could cause the death
of thousands of people.

Adam Carter is suffering an acute
form of post-traumatic
stress disorder.

He's experiencing chronic flashbacks,

suicidal impulses and manic episodes.

His condition
is rooted in survivor guilt.

He wishes he was dead and
that his wife was still alive.

We have to get him off
the operation, Harry.

We have no way
of communicating with him.

Diana, I'd like you to
stay here on the grid.

Tell us about Aftermath.

I haven't seen it.
It's highly classified.

But you know it exists.

I know they'll only publish it
if they trust you.
Why wouldn't they trust us?

You're at the centre of
the world's attention.

I'd just be tempted
to blow it anyway.

We don't want to blow the Barrier.
We want you to publish Aftermath.

Is that what you want too, Craig?

I've been reading your military
record. What are you talking about?

The two soldiers who were killed
in Belfast.

He hid and watched while
two of his friends were ambushed
by an IRA hit squad.

It was advisable that Lt Fletcher
be released from the service.

That's utter bullshit.
I saved those men.

You have a history of mental
illness, Craig,

which is why we have our concerns
about guarantees you're giving us.

We've seen your medical history,
can you blame us

for suspecting that you've...
you've chosen a decent man
in a state of grief

to fulfil some twisted fantasy?
Robert, he's lying,
don't fall for it.

The man you blew up at the
intercept was called Andrew Starkey.

He has three children.

Before you set that booby trap,
did someone assure you that
it was just a deterrent?

It was a deterrent. Are you sure
that some of these people
don't just want to punish the world?

Punish people like Andrew Starkey?

Like me? I mean, I have
a son - eight years old.

He'll die.

He knows more about the environment
than I do.

Who's to say he won't end up like
another Rachel?

But that doesn't matter to you,
does it? You just want blood!

Enough! You know you're lying.
Craig.

Are you going to fire that?

Go on...

Show Robert
what you're really about.

Go on.

Harry, they'll be calling in 15
minutes. What do I offer them?

Nothing.
What about the document? Nothing.

We don't have a Plan B.
If Adam doesn't succeed...

I am aware of that but if
we publish Aftermath, we
enter the political unknown.

What if he's not all right?

I don't know, Ros.

What's she doing?
Janet, what are you playing at?

What? Give that to me.

What? Janet, this building has the
highest level of security
of any in the country,

you're not going
anywhere with that document.

Aftermath is a wake- up call
the world needs.
We have a duty to publish it.

You are not in a position
to decide that. You're a servant
of the state, as am I.

I am also a woman of
individual conscience.

You think individual conscience is
in charge down there on the Barrier?

You think Divine Earth give
a damn about moral decency? Yes.
That's why I told them, Harry.

Do you realise what you've done?

I had to know what was going on.
I've spent five years walking
a tightrope between doing my duty to

my Government and duty to my planet
and I have been lied to, misled
and ignored. So you told Cash.

Robert came to me after his daughter
had died because he was concerned
about Government policy.

I thought that he would go to the
papers.

You have no idea what is going on.

The world is living in a state
of wilful ignorance.

The warning signs are right in front
of our eyes and still we do nothing.

This may be our way out of this.
Yes.

Professor, no-one knows what
you did and we can keep it that way
if you help us.

What do you want?

I want you to help us convince
Divine Earth we're publishing.

You're the one
person they'll believe.

Janet, we understand why you
did this but this is out of control.

You have to help us stop it.

You can save people's lives.

They have a website. That's
how I communicate with Robert.

I'm about to make the
call to your colleagues.

If you do this without my support,
then all hope of any
agreement goes with me.

Maybe that's what you want.
We all want the same thing.

I don't think so. I think Robert's
a decent man who just wants his
daughter's death to mean something.

Don't listen to him.
He's trying to divide us.

That's why you insisted that
whatever happened, you'd never
actually blow the Barrier.

This has never
been about blowing the Barrier.

It's been about ensuring Rachel
didn't die in vain.

We don't want to kill people.
Now, listen to me.
No-one's listening to you.

Just listen to me!

A 50-page document is not
going to satisfy your friend.

He suffers from sever mental
imbalance, absences, manic episodes.
We cannot do deals with him.

I need fully integrated website
and news footage convincing enough

to support Janet Wheeler's message.
Got it.

Harry, if Adam gives us the signal,
how can we trust him?
He's been lying to us.

In his current state, Adam is likely
to take unnecessarily high risks.

How can you know for sure
what's going on in there?

I've conducted hundreds
of operations with Adam Carter.
I know how he works.

So you know, for example, that
Adam has seriously considered
suicide in the last few weeks?

We have a fully prepared
alternative plan ready to go.

Harry, you've got to understand -

he's deliberately putting himself
under immense pressure.

He's daring himself to crack.

Robert...

just, please, just...
walk out with me now.

That's all you have to do.
Just walk out with me.

Please believe me. We're never
going to publish with this maniac
in charge. Right, that's enough!

I'm sorry, Craig.

I can't take the risk.

Look, can't you see
what he's trying to do?

Come on. Come on, Robert,
let's go.

Don't move.

Harry, Adam's signal's gone green.

Special forces are standing by
on your order.

Harry.

Robert...

Robert, I just want you to walk over
there and pick up that phone,

call my
colleagues and tell them
you're walking out with me.

You pick up that phone,
we'll shoot him.

Robert, just pick up the phone.
Pick up the phone.

We're never going to do anything
with this man in charge.

Don't you dare move.

Craig, you wouldn't shoot me.

I'm her father.

WES: Is Mummy coming home?
Where's my mummy?

BEEPING

I need to talk to you.
No. I need to talk to you.

We're publishing Aftermath.

They're publishing.

I have a timetable.

A press release about the document
will be sent to the Press
Association in one hour.

Also in one hour, the
Deputy Prime Minister will speak
to the House,

'and the document will be published
in full.' We have a web connection.

'If we see the Aftermath document
published on all major websites,
we'll close the Barrier.'

You'll see it. Good.

And one more thing...

get rid of this madman.

'Not a problem. We still need a
guarantee of the safe transfer
of the Barrier into our hands.'

We'll find a suitable replacement.

'We'll be waiting for them.'
PHONE GOES DEAD

MOBILE RINGS

Zaf?

He's on his way to you now.
Good luck.

GUNSHOT

ROS: 'You're not well, Adam.
Go home. Go home.'

WES: 'Are we dreaming?
Are we dreaming? Are we dreaming?'

The document'll be published
in 20 minutes.

You can expect the political
effects to be unprecedented.

'In publishing this
controversial document...'

How are we doing?
A few minutes more.

'..my primary...' Nearly there.

Just need to paste the Deputy Prime
Minister onto this website.

We've redirected their internet
connection to our server.

What they see is what we want them
to see. ..OK, it's done.
'In publishing this...'

I want to send a message
to Robert Cash's website

from Janet Wheeler.

Sending now.

BEEPING

Craig, it's from Janet.

It's true - they've published.

Check the rest of the web.

'In publishing this controversial
document,

'my primary aim is to open debate.

'There will of course
be a full public enquiry...'

Check another site. '..as to why
the British people weren't told the
truth about Aftermath before now.

'I shall personally be tendering
my resignation.' Craig, it's
everywhere.

So much for not
negotiating with terrorists.

They must have seen it by now.

Harry, Adam hasn't come out and
he's turned off his tracking device.

What's he playing at?

ADAM: 'No! No!

'No! No!'

Keep Wes safe.

Promise me you will.

ADAM CACKLES MANIACALLY

'Wes has gone missing.
Wes has gone missing...'

GUNSHOT
WES: 'Daddy!'

ADAM: 'Fiona, I'm sorry.'

ROS: 'Adam, you've got to get out.
Adam, you've got to get out.'
'Why wasn't it me?'

WES: 'Daddy. Daddy, get up.
Listen to me.'

VOICES OUTSIDE

They've given us what we asked for.
There's something else we'd like to
offer.

If you
walk off the Barrier now, we'll say
there were never any explosives.

You'll get off with a suspended
sentence for disturbing the peace

and become heroes of your cause.

Why do you want to do that?

We avoid the British public
knowing they were moments
from a catastrophe.

We can all win.

All you have to do
is walk out the door.

You've got what you came for,
haven't you?

This is what Rachel
would have wanted, Craig.

It's what we agreed.

Come on, we've done it.

I look at you and I see all those
politicians who've lied to me.

I see the United Nations, US envoys.

In East Africa, they lied about
desert encroachment

while whole villages
died of starvation
because their crops failed.

Liars -

every single one of them.

And you're lying to me now.

I'm not lying.

You've seen the document.

You see, that's the thing...

..I just don't believe you.

Please don't do this.

You're just like Rachel -
you have such faith in people -
but they're lying.

They're not lying!
Afraid so. We've won, Craig.

No, we haven't.

It's been too easy.
They never let you win that easily.

No. Craig, we can't do this.

BEEPING

Say goodbye.

We were always prepared
to die for this.

BEEP

Yes?

Tell them. Yes?

Hello?

Tell them.

They're going to blow the Barrier.

They've told me to say goodbye.
No. No, wait...
PHONE GOES DEAD

They've cut the line!

Can we storm?

They'd see us coming.
It would be tantamount to suicide.
What if we evacuate now?

We can instigate Phase One.
I can close the Underground,
get key figures out of the city.

Phases Two and Three are
no longer an option.

BEEPING
'Harry, they're closing
the Barrier.'

If they close it now
while the tide builds,

then blow the hydraulics, the water
will force the Barrier to collapse.

It'll create
a tidal wave through London.

It'll rip out the entire heart
of the capital.

Excuse me.

ROS: How's this going
to help Rachel?

You people just don't understand.

You never had any intention
of giving yourself up, did you?

I'm sorry,

but people only ever learn
from war and catastrophe.

Has Adam signalled in yet? No, not
yet. Right, think. Anything we can
do to get to these bastards.

We've got just over
an hour till high tide.

Yes, hello, um, listen,

there's a woman,
possibly in a brown coat,

um, she might
be standing outside your cafe.

Well, could you take a closer look?

Well, just have a look, please!

No, wait, wait, wait, don't hang up.
Listen, she's my mother,

and I really need to speak
to her...

Hello? Hello?

Shit!

Where is she?
Tate Modern. Her phone's broken.

You have 20 minutes.

Malcolm...

I think I've got something.

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

You're early.
Thank God. Listen to me.

Mum, you have to get out of here.

Go straight to London Bridge
and get a train south now, please.
What are you talking about?

Just listen to me.

Now, just calm down
and tell me what's wrong.

Mum, I don't work for a newspaper, I
work for MI5. Are you all right, Jo?

I'm fine.
I work in Sector D at Thames House.

I'm looking at you very calmly
and I'm telling you that you have to
go now. But what about you?

I'll be fine.

But I can't leave you. I have to go.
I'll call you, I promise.

We've closed the Underground
stations, citing a security alert.

The Army have mobilised the trains
and buses but there are still

hundreds of thousands of people
in the danger zone.

The water on the seaward side of
the Barrier is at record level.

At 1700 hours...
MOBILE RINGS

..an RAF Chinook will fly yourself
and the rest of COBRA... Zaf.

..to the Stanfield Bunker
which will serve as operations
base till this crisis is over.

Deputy Prime Minister, I think
we can blow the chamber.

By closing the Barrier,
Divine Earth have caused
the water to rise on both sides.

The build up of river
water on the upriver side

means that the low water
maintenance tunnel is for
the first time under water.

If we blow this from the outside,
the chamber will immediately flood.

The bomb will be rigged by a diver
using a 40lb waterproof explosive,

taking out a sizeable section of
the upriver wall. The Barrier
itself will remain unaffected.

They wouldn't have time to detonate.
Everyone in the chamber dies?

Everyone.
Including your own officers?

Yes. Deputy Prime Minister, we
need to evacuate you to safe ground.
We need a decision now.

Do it.

< You have to. It's wrong.
You have to.

You can't do this.
Don't do this, Craig.

Please, I know how angry you are.

I know what you've seen but this
isn't what Rachel would have
wanted - killing ordinary people.

Look, I loved your daughter but
this is nothing to do with her.

We did this in her name...
to get Aftermath published.
to raise awareness.

You can't read a document
to a sleeping man.

The human race is sleepwalking to
disaster. We have to be woken up.

Exactly how does what you're about
to do qualify as waking people up?

You don't understand.

You're killing people.

Children.

You could have evacuated.
You didn't. You could have published.
You didn't, did you? DID YOU?!

When London floods,
someone will ask why we did it.

The people will find
the truth about Aftermath.

What we're doing
will change the world.

BEEPING

BEEPING CONTINUES, STOPS

Next time, trust me.

Next time, don't lie to me.

All communications lines
have been cut. Come on.

Detonation of upriver wall
in 30 seconds.

DISTANT BANG

THEY SHOUT

Adam!
They can't have just left us here!

They know we're down here. Someone
will come, someone will come!

HELP!

It's bolted.

Help! Somebody!
Help! Help us!

HELP!

SHE SCREAMS

Send in the divers.

See if there are any...survivors.

Just do it.

Harry, it was a 40lb bomb.

'Are we dreaming, Daddy?

'Are we in this dream together?'

'That's brilliant,
they're going to love it.'

DESPERATE GASP
