SIRENS WAIL

Armed police! Armed police!

What we got? Witness saw the vehicle park,

driver get out, face covered, and then he set something up.

Anyone else in the vehicle?

Do you not want a search team? You might as well use us.

Plus, we need to break in the new kid.

Hey. Richard Manning.

Bronze Command. It's a perimeter. EXPO 1, are you OK?

Cat A, Cat A. Someone's in the cab.

Help!

What's your name? Ned.

He said he'd blow it up at midday, if I don't...

If you don't what? NED, GET OUT!

DR SONYA: I thought you said you'd call me if you needed help.

The large amount of co-codamol in your kit bag.

They help me sleep. Isn't your re-licensing coming up?

I feel like my ability to do the job is being called into question.

Why do you do it? It's just who I am. It's all I know.

Unhinged as that is.

You need to speak to Ned Cole.

If he does know the bomber, this is just a personal vendetta.

Yeah. You're talking about somebody who prepared a complex weapon,

who has the means and patience to create poisonous gas.

OK? He is going to do this again.

Tessa and her team came in this morning,

and they came into contact with a possible threat.

Positive result. High chance it's explosives.

Hello? What the hell?

I will come back and get you out. Please, don't go!

It's the same fucking bomber. We don't know that.

He's here.

There's something...

COUGHING

What?

Rich said that before Agnes Raffner died,

she told him this was about Coldmarsh.

Right. Do we know what that is? No, sir.

We searched, but we didn't find anything substantial.

Is he sure that's what she said?

Whatever Coldmarsh is, it's personal for the bomber.

It's all connected. It has to be.

Are you gonna ignore me on this as well?

All right, listen, Lana. I'm sorry, OK?

You were right and I was wrong. Great.

Let me talk to Ned Cole. He knows something.

No. Do not start thinking it is your job to solve the case.

What is Ned Cole saying? Er, still nothing.

He won't co-operate with us.

But we did find out that he had a flight booked the day of the attack.

Where to? Thailand.

What? Said it was for a holiday.

Yeah, I bet he did.

I don't trust him. It's all too convenient.

Yes, I agree, the timing is suspicious.

Is he due to be discharged today? Yeah, this morning.

Just hold him. It's like... We can't. He's not a suspect.

Well, you can make him one.

"Confess or die."

The evidence suggests Ned has a connection with the bomber.

I was with him when he started to confess.

I think I can get him to talk again. No. Still no.

DS Morgan will go and talk to him,

and then we'll decide what to do from there.

OK, well, then let me search his address.

He's not been home yet.

What if the bomber's been there to finish the job?

The explosive threat remains. He's still a target.

OK, fine. I'll get you the address. Good.

Helen, go to the hospital. OK.

We have to get him to talk. Yep.

Sarge. Wait out here.

Have you got someone coming to pick you up?

No.

No-one at all?

Am I being discharged?

Erm, that's up to the doctors.

Her name's Agnes Raffner.

She's a university lecturer in quantity surveying.

A doctor.

Do you know her? What?

Do you know her? No.

What are you doing?

I'm asking if you know her.

I've said all I have to say.

We believe that she was murdered

by the same person who tried to kill you.

The same person asking for a confession.

I'd like you to leave.

What about... Coldmarsh?

Can you tell me what Coldmarsh is?

No.

I don't know what it is.

If you can tell me something...

anything...

..that might help us protect others.

OK? That might help us... protect you.

I want to go home.

Why were you going to Bangkok, Ned?

I told you already. Mm-hm.

It was supposed to be a holiday.

For how long? What?

How long was the holiday? It's a simple question.

STAMMERS A few...

A few weeks. Ah.

That's strange. I...

I couldn't find the return flight booking.

Come on, Ned. Tell us the truth.

We can look after you.

We can put you under police protection,

but only if you tell us what's going on.

Danny, you got me?

DANNY: 'Yeah, I've got you.'

I'm in Ned's apartment.

Are we sure this is the right address?

Feels like temporary accommodation.

'Yeah, confirmed. It's the address we have for him.'

There's nothing here.

There's no possessions, no decoration, nothing.

BOILER RATTLES AND WHIRRS

Wait up.

There's definitely something else going on,

and I think he knows what Coldmarsh is, but he's not gonna say.

Sir...

'I think we need to arrest him.'

OK.

Er, he must have stepped away.

Declan. That's my real name.

OK, what's happening in there? He was waiting for me.

He's taken my fucking car.

He's locked me in. Who?

The same guy who trapped you in the cab?

DECLAN SIGHS

Look, Declan, I can get you out, but you've gotta start talking.

Fine. Fine! Yes.

So, what can you see?

Nothing. I can't see...

It's pitch black. I'm trying to find the fucking light switch.

No, no, no, no. Don't touch a thing, OK?

Just stay where you are. I'm gonna put a camera through the door.

I need to check if there's a device in there.

LANA EXHALES, LANA SIGHS

Here. Cheers.

I'll take that.

I've had enough of this. Yeah, nice one.

Yeah, you and me both, mate.

Just stand still, yeah?

Can you take a step back for me?

OK, OK. POLICE SIREN WAILS

Lana, I'm gonna set that cordon at 50 metres. What do you reckon?

Perfect. Thanks, Danny. All right.

Fucking Coldmarsh.

I knew one of them would come for me eventually.

I thought I could get away.

Where is it? Where is it?

Ah! DECLAN GRUNTS

What are you doing with the phone?

I need to see! You need to calm down.

OK, listen to me.

There's four bags in the corner of the garage.

Do you know what they are?

Just a simple yes or no. Do not approach.

It's flour.

Bags of flour.

Did you put them there? No.

But I know he did.

He wants me to confess, but it wasn't my fault.

Listen. The flour could be part of a device.

I want you to stay calm whilst I work this out.

CAR ALARM BLARES

Lana, are you all right?

EXPO 1. Contact IED.

He's dead.

There's been a barrage of questions from the higher-ups.

They're asking if you have the competency to deal with this case,

or whether they need to replace her to an entire unit within SO15.

What the hell happened? Er, do you mind?

He was a flight risk. How could you lose him?

An officer was watching him. It was a miscommunication.

Do you not do fitness tests? Surely you can run.

You shouldn't have gone without me. If I hadn't have done, then what?

He would still be dead. And it would still be my fault.

All right, so you accept that, as senior officer at the hospital,

the responsibility was yours?

Sir. Right.

And you accept that you need to wait for support

the next time you want to follow up a lead.

Look, I want this department to do better than it has in the past.

We are dealing with a serial killer who uses bombs.

A man like that will only capitalise on our mistakes.

If we are not across everything, we will fail.

So now, come on.

What was found in his apartment?

Well, there was a passport belonging to him

under the name of Declan O'Kelly. We've confirmed its authenticity.

How long has he been operating under Ned Cole? It's unclear.

Whoever created his new identity, they did a pretty comprehensive job.

And there was nothing in his apartment about Coldmarsh?

I seen him send a text message before he died.

Well, are we on that? Mm-hm.

We're waiting for data from the network provider.

OK, good. Still waiting.

Lana!

We're on the same side.

The plant room sump pump had been sabotaged,

meaning the room was flooded from below the door line.

That's what led to Agnes Raffner's drowning.

What about the charges themselves?

Slurry explosives, same as the cab bombing.

This particular type is usually associated

with the construction industry - demolition, that sort of thing.

Are you still taking the pills? No. What's next?

The garage IED was designed to work as a fuel air explosive.

And it WAS flour? Yeah.

Disperse it, ignite it. The fireball acts as a vacuum.

His lungs would have collapsed before he burnt to death.

Word is you and DS Morgan had a falling out.

Hardly.

Well, you gave her both barrels, apparently.

LANA CHUCKLES What?

She's all right. I like her.

Not saying I don't. Good.

Well, so far, he's given us chemical weapons, drowning, and now this.

You were right. These aren't random attacks.

It's calculated. Mmm.

Are you sensing a theme?

He wants to suffocate them. What?

Well, the devices are designed to kill,

but first, he wants them to stop breathing.

Right. Why would he do that?

Don't know. That's why you're paid the big bucks.

OK. Well, I've actually been researching a possible connection

between Agnes Raffner and Declan O'Kelly.

Seems that they worked for the same company.

So, it's DBN Construction.

As the name suggests, they were a construction and demolition firm,

a pretty big organisation.

The bomber uses demolition explosives.

All right, now we're onto something.

So, DBN Construction fell into financial difficulty in 1995.

They were acquired by the Akemark Group the following year.

Declan O'Kelly was senior management for five years in the mid '90s.

Right, and Agnes Raffner?

Er, says here that she was an executive consultant,

but there are no dates.

But it's still unclear why they're targets.

We need to get hold of a list of ex-employees.

If the victims are all linked,

we need to know who could be next, so... OK.

..get the specific dates of Raffner's employment,

then we can see who overlaps with her and O'Kelly. OK.

That is good work, Lana. Thank you.

It's DS Morgan you want to be thanking.

Yeah, of course. Good work.

Thanks.

Well, there is a pay-out, but it's not exactly a lot.

none of us would be working, eh?

Yeah. We've all got shit to contend with.

RICH LAUGHS I hope not, or I'll be in debt.

LANA LAUGHS

DOOR SLAMS

So, you identified that Declan O'Kelly sent a message

from his phone while he was in the garage.

We found the service provider data.

This is the message that he sent.

Well, it's to the point, and charming. Yeah.

So, he sent that message to a man called Ewan Knox,

and Knox is an ex-soldier.

What unit? Royal Engineers.

EOD? Er...

Twenty-seven. Two-seven.

Commando.

OK, so he'd have relevant specialist training.

What's his connection to DBN Construction?

Er, he worked for them for three years,

and he specialised in demolition.

Explains his love for explosives. Yeah.

And there's something else.

Knox has been detained under Section 136

twice in the last ten years.

What does that mean?

It means he was arrested in a public place

and needed immediate care or control.

Care for what? A mental health disorder.

Right. So, listen.

The work Danny did around the PIRs has really paid off.

We cross-checked all the London area addresses

that they were dispatched to in the last year,

and one of the addresses belonged to... Ewan Knox.

He's our bomber.

LANA: SO15 have Knox's house surrounded.

If he's in there, they'll arrest him.

He's not our usual type of bomber.

We don't know what we're dealing with, so we need to stay alert.

Knox's background means that he might have access

to manufactured munitions, possible chemical weapons.

HASS: He hasn't used anything that powerful yet.

All the more reason to be careful, then.

Which is why I'm not letting anyone inside before me.

Got that? It could be another trap. OK.

Let's go.

ENGINE STARTS, SIRENS BLARE

Is he in there?

We've spotted movement inside. Are you able to make the arrest?

Yeah, but I don't wanna spook him. We know what he's capable of.

I put on the resi, I shut the front door,

I start taping around it and the windows.

Yeah. Only if it feels safe to do so. If not, just leave, OK?

Mm-hm. Good to go?

Yep. Remember, Ewan Knox is priority.

When he opens the door, you make the arrest.

If it isn't him, or something doesn't feel right,

then you call it in by saying... Contact. I know.

And then we'll take it from there. Knox is dangerous.

The place could be rigged, so proceed with caution. OK.
