The next station is Shepherd's bush.

The next station is Warren street.

Doors will open on your left hand side.

The next station is oval.

Station.

Get out of there! Get off! Get out!

What have you done?

- What have you just done? - It hasn't... it hasn't worked.

Is that a fucking bomb?

No! It's... it... it's bread.

It's just bread.

I don't know what has happened. It's just bread in there.

If you want me to help you, lie down on the floor.

This train will now be delayed at the next station.

- Fuck. - Lie on the floor and I will help you.

I don't know what has happened.

Would the person who pulled the emergency lever

please make themselves known.

Yes, it was me.

I pulled the lever. There was an explosion.

The next station is oval.

Hello? Listen to me.

Don't open the doors.

The guy who did this is still on the train.

Don't open the doors.

Don't open the fucking... no!

Stop that...

Stop that man! Stop him! He's a bomber!

Stop that man!

- Stop him! - Fuck!

The next station is Shepherd's bush.

Please mind the gap.

This bus terminates here.

- Please... to your journey. - What was that upstairs?

Fucking open the doors! Please get us out!

Hey, who the hell are you?

Call the police! Stop him!

Stop him!

Half past twelve,

something has just exploded on the train

as terror hit London's transport system once again.

London's northern tube line. At exactly the same time,

underground passengers smelled something...

The capital had been targeted in what appears to be another

two weeks to the day London was rocked by terrorism,

the capital's streets are again reduced to this. Panic and confusion.

Four explosions. Three on tube trains, one on a bus.

Tim, take a seat please.

That's the exact same pattern as two weeks ago.

It now seems clear this is also a coordinated attack.

What casualties?

Well, we've got reports of smoke and chaos,

explosions like fireworks going off, scaring the shit out of everybody,

but so far no deaths or injuries.

So, what's going on here? Is it some sort of stunt?

We don't think so.

In each case, the explosions, they came from rucksacks

carried by men of African-somalian appearance.

And the witnesses, they're reporting a thick bubbling liquid

with a foul smell oozing from them.

The same stuff as the Leeds bomb factory?

Precisely.

I think what is more likely is that these were proper bombs,

like the ones two weeks ago,

but for some reason the main explosives didn't go off, just the detonators.

So where are they?

If the people who did this were suicide bombers who didn't die,

where are they now?

Londoners are being urged

to fight back against the latest terrorist threats

by continuing to use the transport system and working normally.

The police have done their very best, and the security services too,

in the situation.

And I think we've just got to react calmly.

They feel that there is a need to stand firm

in the face of the terrorists and the bombers.

And they know that, so far, public opinion

has been very supportive of the prime minister.

But of course, in times like this, that could change.

Public opinion could be volatile,

particularly if this turns out to be a prolonged campaign.

We are witnessing a sense of panic this time

which wasn't evident two weeks ago.

Yes, but that's because last time the public didn't know what was going on.

This time, they do.

I have a press conference later today,

an opportunity to try and project some calmness.

Situation under control.

I suppose we should assume that the people that did this will try again?

We've agreed with the prime minister this morning that with immediate effect,

the threat level to the UK will be raised from severe to critical.

Because these bombs did not explode,

and the reason for that may well tell police something significant

about the organization or skill of the bombers,

a welter of clues has been left behind because nothing has been destroyed.

One thing that makes a difference though

the bombers are still alive...

Hello?

- Yeshi? It's me. - What happened?

It went wrong. Muktar must have fucked up the mixture.

Where are you now?

Wandsworth, on the high street.

I need you to come and get me.

I'm with my brother, we will come and find you.

What the fuck happened?

- I don't know. - Fuck you, muktar!

You're the one who went to training camp. We just did what you told us.

You fucking idiot!

You got the mixture wrong, and they didn't go off!

Did they all fail?

From what they're saying on the news.

Although, they're only talking about four explosions, not five.

Fuck! I'm so thirsty.

So, what do we do now?

We know we have four explosions.

Well, four attempted explosions,

but it's still pretty unclear as to what's happened.

I can tell you that the met police and the emergency services

are getting control over a very confused scene

but, clearly, this is a very serious incident.

I have a couple of messages I need to give.

The first is that the transport system will be closed down for a while.

The second is that it is very important

for londoners, and people in London,

to stay where they are for the time being. Thank you.

Mr. Blair! Mr. Blair!

The substance is bubbling, it looks quite unstable to me...

What's the problem?

Yeah, as soon as I tried to move that bag, the mixture started heating up.

It's a thermal reaction.

The chemicals involved are reacting to greater exposure to the air.

Well, the mixture's similar to the Leeds mixture,

but it's not exactly the same. It's a different colour for starters.

Right, we're gonna have to back off and come up with another plan.

This stuff is extremely unstable. It could react violently at any moment.

All right, move the cordon back. Get everybody off the platform.

It's reacting.

Yes, it's dangerous.

We don't even know what it is.

Okay. So, just remove it and let the forensics guys do their work.

Removing it is what's causing the problem.

It's incredibly unstable.

Right, I just need some more time to come up with a different strategy.

- How long? - Until the end of the day.

No, no. You haven't got it. Come on.

Cliff, we need to get in that carriage.

There is evidence in there that will help us identify these guys

before they do something else.

This stuff is dangerous.

You're not listening to me.

The whole of London... the whole fucking country

is waiting for you to do your job.

"In the meeting I had with the prime minister yesterday,"

"I raised the issue of maximizing the legal protection for officers"

"who had to take decisions in relation to people believed to be suicide bombers."

"This is clearly a fast-time decision-making process"

"in which officers cannot risk the kind of containment"

"and negotiation tactics that would normally be the case."

And this is to the home office?

To the permanent secretary John gieve, yes.

"The only choice an officer may have may be to shoot to kill"

"in order to prevent the detonation of a device."

We must put them on notice

of possible operation kratos scenarios.

Sorry, sir.

You're gonna have to go back out in front of the cameras.

- You are joking. - It's the train drivers, sir.

Tfl's just been on the phone saying if they think your message

applies to them too, they will stay at home

and the whole tube system will grind to a halt.

But I've just been on. I'll look like an idiot!

Sake!

This is a complete bloody farce.

Okay, we don't try and move it all in one go.

We take small sections, put them in the anti-static bags,

don't seal them,

put them in the plastic containers surrounded by water.

It's gonna take a long time.

I don't care. That's how we're doing this.

Okay.

The metropolitan police are under immense pressure today

as they deploy armed police officers...

The atmosphere this afternoon will be much more to do with

how do we deal with the nervousness that this will cause.

Like how do we find out whether this is some kind of hoax set of bombs,

who might have done it. It'll be much more.

Blair insisted Iraq was not the cause of the London bombings.

And that militant islam must be faced down both here and across the world.

I don't think there are any problems.

I think, should be, like, pretty much straightforward.

You know, like, two alarms each flat.

Job done.

So, what do you think? Happy?

Yeah, yeah. We might have to run some trunking into the corners.

But yeah, no problem.

Okay, I need to check with the office, but as far as I'm concerned,

I'm more than happy to press the button.

- Sounds good for me. - All right, great.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you, fantastic guys, thank you.

- Boom. - Yeah.

Okay, it's safe to go in there now.

Thanks, chief.

I got a message for your boss.

Tell him I did my bloody job, okay?

Hey, olu! How's it going, man?

Sumaila, what's up?

I'm good, I'm good. How are things?

- It's okay, you know. Makin' a livin'. - Yeah?

Listen, olu, I need a favour.

No. Whatever it is, no.

I just need a place to stay tonight, yeah?

I got myself into a situation and I need some space.

- What kind of a situation? - It doesn't matter. It's okay. It's okay.

- No, I don't want no walla. - Please, I promise, just tonight, man.

- Please. Please. - I'm sorry, sumaila.

I'm a married man now.

She's at home by herself with the baby.

I can't do it.

Look, I'll wait for you, yeah?

Go home with you when you finish.

It's not gonna happen, sumaila.

Them days are behind me now.

Sorry.

Photos of every seat, please.

It's okay. Come to me. Okay.

I've got you.

Sorry.

What's your plan then?

You can't stay here too long.

I left a false address in my rucksack.

The guy I go gym with. It might buy us a bit of time.

Where will you go?

Rome.

My brother lives there.

They will never find you there.

My sister will look after you until you're ready to go, okay?

Okay. My friend is mail can get me a passport.

You can talk to him, he's a good man.

I need a new phone as well.

I will handle it.

What do they want us to do with this?

It's a pretty good likeness.

We've been asked to send it to the lab.

They think we might be able to retrieve DNA or maybe some fingerprints from it.

Take a picture for me.

This is him. 21 scotia road.

Yeah?

We've got a name for one of them and an address.

We found a gym membership card

at the scene of the Shepherd's bush explosion.

That's him outside the tube station this morning.

This the best likeness we've got?

It's what we've been given. We're hoping to get clearer pictures

from dvla and the passport office tomorrow.

Does look like the same guy.

- What's the address? - Tulse hill. 21 scotia road.

We've had confirmation the devices were viable bombs,

similar in composition to the seven-seven bombs.

They don't know yet why they didn't go off.

- We need a gold firearms strategy, John. - Already on it.

- Who you making dso? - Cressida dick.

Just got off the phone to her, she'll be in first thing.

Co19 and a full surveillance team are being deployed to the address

as soon as is practicable.

We may have to take extreme action here, Andy.

I'm thinking kratos.

The moment could quite possibly arrive for a critical shot.

Agreed.

- You all right? - Yeah.

Eyes on the plot.

All quiet.

Top floor window. No movement.

This is the number two bus to nor wood bus garage.

Next stop, upper tulse hill.

Red team in position on the plot.

Yeah, Roger that.

We believe yesterday's devices were viable

and it was only by sheer luck

that significant loss of life and injury was avoided.

With this in mind,

the strategic objectives for today's operation are as follows.

To control the premises at scotia road through covert surveillance.

To follow any person leaving the premises until it is safe to challenge them

and then stop them.

To detain one or all of the suspected terrorists

or establish the whereabouts of others who pose a threat to the public.

As it is envisaged that an operation kratos scenario could develop,

I have appointed a designated senior officer

who will take command in room 1600, with Jon boutcher acting as her deputy.

Who will be dso, sir?

Well, it should be cressida dick. I can't think where she is.

Right, okay. Someone's coming out.

Ic1 male.

Sixties.

Cress, we just finished.

I'm sorry, John. I was given the wrong room.

I'm not late, I've been here since five this morning.

- Okay. I'll have to do it again for you. - Thank you.

I'm sorry.

That's all right.

Yeah.

Hollow point?

Yeah, authority was given last night.

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Two ic2 females. Both 20s.

It looks like they're just going to work.

Roger that.

The links between yesterday's attempted bombings

and those that occurred two weeks ago are inescapable.

I mean, the explosives used and the mo of the bombers,

it's almost identical.

Yesterday morning, three of the bombers

entered the underground network,

just down the road at stock well tube station.

Hussain osman.

The codename for this suspect is nettle tip.

Married father of three.

He tried to explode a bomb on the tube yesterday at Shepherd's bush.

Women and children in that carriage with him.

Now, we'll shortly be moving to nightingale Lane police station

in wandsworth, to get you closer to the plot.

But you should be prepared today to use unusual tactics.

Can you expand on that?

An instruction for a critical shot would come from the dso,

but a situation you should all prepare yourselves for

is that if you are deployed to intercept a suspect,

and can challenge that suspect,

but the suspect is non-compliant,

then in that situation,

a critical shot can be taken.

At your own discretion.

Yeah.

Okay. Let's go.

Hello?

Jean...

- Tchau. Tchau. - Hurry up.

Red two, any movement inside number 21?

Negative. No, it looks quiet up there.

Where the fuck are firearms?

Who's gonna stop him if he does come out?

I see it. And then they're coming back to you. They're discussing it right now.

I've spoken with John mcdowall

and we think that any subject coming out of that address should be allowed,

initially, to run before co19 move in to challenge him.

Let him get a safe distance from the premises

so as not to alert anybody else inside?

We don't want a Madrid situation where they blow themselves

and the building up as we approach the premises.

There's two bus stops within walking distance to them flats.

Get onto command.

We should get the bus services fucking suspended.

We've had a request from one of the surveillance teams

to suspend bus services in the area.

They say they don't want him getting onto public transport.

I think as soon as we stop the buses, we're effectively alerting osman

and any of the others that we're on to them.

So, we keep the buses running?

I don't want to compromise the address. That's my decision.

Where are co19, by the way? We need them close by scotia road.

- They're being briefed. - Still?

This is another briefing from Greg purser.

I think the feeling is,

given they might have to take a critical shot,

that we don't want them under-briefed.

Out there right now, we have surveillance teams from so12.

But, ultimately, it will fall to you

to intercept and contain this threat.

The men we are up against have the ability to make small devices

which they secrete about their persons, so, they may not be wearing a backpack.

It's important to remember that.

And to detonate a device,

all they need to do is reach into their pocket.

It's a very small movement.

These men are terrorists.

They are deadly, determined, and highly motivated.

They won't hesitate to kill themselves,

you, and innocent members of the public.

We'll be making a move to a ta centre closer to the plot after this.

We're moving again?

But, first, let's go over again the information we have on the suspects,

beginning with hussain osman,

the suspect associated with the address in scotia road.

Codename, nettle tip.

Movement. One ic1 male, dark hair, beard, stubble,

wearing a blue denim jacket, blue jeans, it may not be ic1.

Actually, it might be worth somebody else taking a look.

Yeah, we got him. He's on upper tulse hill.

Grey team will take it from here.

Can't we get someone to grab a photograph?

We've asked them.

We're having problems with the radios.

Where are co19?

Nettle tip has now boarded the bus.

Repeat, he is on the bus,

- headed north towards Brixton. - Fuck!

- What is it? - He's just got on a bus.

- What? - I know some of the cars aren't here yet.

No, we can't wait.

We're on the move again. He's headed towards Brixton.

Brixton!

Yeah. Not a good look, so it's not a positive ID.

But he has distinctive eyes. They're Mongolian in appearance.

We're establishing the comms. Have you contacted...

Sounds like it's not a match with nettle tip.

I expect they'll withdraw surveillance back to their start positions.

This is Charlie 12. Is everybody at the ta centre?

For fuck's sake!

- He's headed towards Brixton. - Is... what

listen out for further instructions.

Yeah, copy that. I can finally fucking hear ya.

Right. He got off the bus, then turned round and got back on the bus.

Copy that.

Situation is, he's got off the bus,

then he's quickly got back on the same bus again.

- Anti-surveillance? - Certainly looks like it.

And he's on his phone the whole time.

They think it's him, and they're saying he's very, very jumpy.

How sure are they?

Ask them to give me a percentage.

How sure out of ten are they?

I'm gonna need a percentage, mate.

Score out of ten on the likeness.

Seriously?

They're asking, out of ten, how certain are we that he's nettle tip?

It's a ridiculous question.

Grey team, can anyone give me a number, out of ten,

how sure they are the suspect is nettle tip?

That's the bus.

Grey team?

Pat, I'm not getting anything back from anyone.

Maybe a comms issue. The radio's in and out the whole time

but I don't think it's a question you can answer like that. Out of ten.

Received. Anything you can say to assist?

Well, when I saw him about half an hour ago,

I thought he was a "good possible."

For what it's worth, I think it could be him.

But no one's managed to get a really good look at him yet.

- Drop me there. - Will do.

I'll call you, pat, if I hear back from anyone.

Copy that.

I don't think it's him.

I got a full frontal view of his face for like a second or so,

and I would say he's not identical to nettle tip.

Well. I think that's a good possible likeness, innit?

Not for me.

They can't give a percentage, but they believe it is nettle tip.

I'm hearing he's acting nervously. That he's very twitchy.

Okay.

Well, we have to intercept him.

Do we stop the bus?

Too dangerous.

Jon's right.

Let's wait until he gets off.

Suspect is now travelling north

on a bus towards stock well road.

Right, lights on.

We've gotta go, we've gotta catch up with him.

All right, nettle tip is on a bus, headed north along stock well road.

Repeat, north along stock well road.

He's off the bus.

He's heading for the station.

He must not be allowed to enter the tube system.

He must be arrested by co19.

I don't think they're there yet.

I'm approaching from clapham road to the north of you.

I'm a couple of minutes away.

Do you want this man lifted?

Do you want this man lifted?

He's entered the station. Should he be stopped?

- Yes! - Who do you wanna stop him?

- Co19. - They're not there yet.

So12 then. He cannot be allowed to get on a train.

Stop him getting on the train.

What do you want me to do?

Co19 are now at the station. Should they do the stop?

Yes! Co19. Not so12.

Tell them he must not get on that train.

- All units, state red. - Go to state red.

All units, state red. Go to state red.

Move! Move! Move!

This station, please stop off.

Move, move!

Please ensure you have all your belongings with you

when you leave the train.

Move! Move!

What's happening?

Comms are down. They must be underground.

As soon as you hear anything,

you get straight back to me. Do you understand?

Move! Move! Move!

He's here!

Police! Let go. We're police! Police!
