OK, so connect the wires and bridge the circuit.

It won't reach!

Mate, you are seriously off your game. It's the pills, yeah?

Look, that isn't a long-term solution, Lana.

I can't let you end up like him.

RICH: Oh, please, please!

WYLES: The six people who ran the Coldmarsh contract lied for money.

BATRA: We are dealing with a serial killer who uses bombs.

"I regret to inform you that we cannot pay any compensation

"relating to the Coldmarsh contract."

These are all signed by Anders Larsson. Who's that?

He's the Akermark CEO.

Are we covered?

BATRA: What do you think he's doing?

LANA: Something that involves 80 kilos of missing explosives?

Well, they're targeting the CEO of Akermark.

DS Morgan's gone to talk to him now.

What would your shareholders say

if they knew that your explosives were being used by a serial bomber?

EXPLOSION, SHE EXCLAIMS

I'm the one who's been doing this.

Steven, calm down.

I'm not like DBN Construction and Akermark.

I had to put things right.

You know that. I had to. For her.

We've made contact with the bomber.

You have 90 seconds until detonation.

A bomb to stop a bomb?

LANA ON RADIO: 'Yeah, we're rigging the MLVD now.'

Firing in three, two, one...

'Device neutralised. Building is safe to enter.'

GRUNTING, GROANING

PHONE BUZZES

'Anders.'

It's my brother.

He's the bomber, and he's coming for you.

I thought you were ending it here.

Hey!

I was. What's changed?

You need to back off. I need to get past you.

THEY GRUNT, GROAN

Oh!

PHIL: Wash! Ah!

Hey. You're OK, Wash. Yeah.

Hey, you're OK. It's me, it's Phil.

Yeah. Was gas released?

No, it was a fire extinguisher. He's gone that way.

Trojans 4 and 5, go, now. Move!

Have you got water in your kit? Yeah.

Yeah? Front pocket? Front pocket, yeah.

Here.

Are you OK?

Yeah. Ah...

CTSFO ON RADIO: 'No sign of him, Trojan 1. We lost him.'

Oh, shit. We lost him.

No, we haven't.

DOOR OPENS

SONYA: Wash?

DOOR SLAMS

Wash?

I can see your feet.

You're knackered. Thanks.

I mean it. You haven't stopped.

Well, I don't plan on until this is done.

Yeah, well, you need time for yourself.

LANA CHUCKLES

Well, I was trying to do that, and then you turned up.

I'm not talking about an evening off.

I'm talking about proper time to grieve. You all do.

Not yet.

Look, I came on too strong before, and I'm sorry. I was out of line.

Yeah, you were.

HASS CLEARS THROAT

Look, Wash, er, Son and I have had a conversation about the pills.

Right.

So this is what an intervention looks like. No. No.

It's hardly Trainspotting, is it? I mean, it's not like I'm an addict.

We do know that, but we still need to talk about it. Oh, do we? OK.

Erm...

Well, I haven't had any since the factory. Yeah, that was today, Wash.

I mean... LANA CHUCKLES

For all the bumps and bruises I go through,

you'd think I'd be well within my rights.

Yeah, but you know it's not the physical stuff we're worried about.

Look, we're... You're my mate.

I can see you're hurting.

I know you think the pills are pushing it down, but...

You're breaking my heart.

Just let me finish the job, Sonya, and... catch him.

You said to Batra that you'd walk, right?

Yeah, I did, because he was pushing me out, and you know that.

Yeah, but have you... thought about that before?

Look, you know your relicensing is coming up, so...

Is it? Fuck, I forgot about that. What about you don't renew?

Yeah, OK, cool. I'll just quit.

I'm only saying it cos you've been through so much.

We've all been through a lot. We all lost Rich.

You know that I'm not just talking about him.

I'm talking about all of it. You.

Especially you. You've been in the middle of it.

And I just can't watch you give everything to this job

until you've got nothing left, and then what?

What then?

SIGHING: Oh, God...

EXHALES SHARPLY

You two been practising this at home, have you?

Wha...?

She knows. What?

Ooh, awkward.

Is this your first domestic?

Oh, I was gonna tell you she knows.

But I didn't.

Sorry, I was gonna...

Sorry. Yeah.

You don't need to apologise. It's fine.

I mean, I don't think much of your choice, like, but...

SONYA EXHALES

Oh. Nice (!)

Hey, sorry. Wash, Jenny's here.

Just through here, OK?

Jenny. What's going on?

What? Do you know what this is?

No. No.

I-I don't know where it's come from.

I've no idea what... Look, I haven't even had time to...

The girls keep expecting their dad to walk in and cuddle them.

And instead I get this.

I don't understand.

Yeah, you and me both. I've never seen that envelope.

What's inside?

Hundred grand, in cash,

delivered by hand to the widow of Rich Manning. Mm.

When?

Today, before the Akermark HQ bombing. Right.

We've just found him, in the DBN Construction employment records.

His name...

..is Steven Wyles.

Yeah, that's definitely him.

The Financial Intelligence Unit confirmed that the cash is his, too.

His name was traced to two accounts, handful of credit cards.

Hundred grand, all in.

So he's cleared out his accounts. Has he left himself any money?

Not that the FIU could see.

Well, he planned on killing himself inside Akermark.

Then why did he run?

I don't know. His plans had obviously changed.

Unfinished business?

He'll go to ground, but not for long.

JEFF: We're just worried about you, love.

LARA: I'm fine. I told you.

Now... all right, all right. OK, listen.

Your mam has got a job back in Nottingham.

We're moving up there. What?

Might be good to start afresh.

We were gonna wait, but they want her up there soon.

That's a bit sudden.

There's no staying here without money coming in.

Plus, the place is full of bad memories.

Yeah. What's the job?

She's going back to the NHS.

A PA position's come up. Good money, apparently.

It better be. I have high hopes of being a lady of leisure.

Grab yourself a mug.

So, that it, then? You're definitely going?

Unless you've had better luck on the lottery than we have.

Look... you've got good mates here, right?

Don't need us.

And if you did, we'll just be a couple of hours up the M1.

M40, M69 if the traffic's bad.

WATER FLOWS

You could always come home with us, you know. Fresh start.

CTSFO ON RADIO: 'Approaching Wyles' last known residence.'

Images have now been released of the man

who is being called the Construction Killer.

His name is Steven Wyles.

In the past week, he has tracked down

six former managers of DBN Construction...

Armed police!

..a company that went out of business in the 1990s,

and allegedly murdered them.

We moved on his address this morning.

Neighbours say no-one's lived there in six months at least.

Armed police! Armed police!

Armed police! Move! Stay still!

Armed police!

What about family?

Widowed. No children.

MORGAN: Sir.

Steven Wyles has a brother.

He led the trade union that dealt with DBN Construction employees.

Well, where is he?

LAUGHTER

ANYA: Come here, you! You were brilliant!

How are you doing? All right?

BOY 1: Good. BOY 2: Good, yeah.

Are you both hungry? Yes. Yeah, yeah.

No going in Granddad's office!

TV: 'The alleged actions of Steven Wyles

'have, of course, been widely condemned,

'but on social media,

'some users have come out in support of the killer.

'They say Wyles has highlighted the plight of the thousands

'who are now dealing with the consequences

'of asbestos-related illness.

'The symptoms range from...' Oh, my God.

'..breathing difficulties to lung cancer.'

Oh, my God!

WYLES: Who are you calling?

Don't.

Hey. So, erm, is the brother an accomplice, or...?

LANA: We don't know yet. Not risking it.

HASS: That's why they're sending us in.

DANNY: Not us, you. Batra says you're expendable.

No, he said "the best". "The best".

LANA CHUCKLES Let's go, let's go.

'We are 13 minutes from destination.'

'Received. Bronze Command five minutes behind you. Over.'

So, are you gonna tell me what plans you and Carla have got?

What's that?

Well, come on. You've been keeping me in suspense.

Bigger house, maybe some kids. Just life stuff.

What, am I boring you?

SHE CHUCKLES No.

Not at all. You're right to go after it.

Hm. It's what most people want, innit?

Guess so.

You're gonna make a great detective, Danny.

Maybe.

What's that supposed to mean?

When I think about our unit,

you know, what we've built...

just the stuff we've been through,

I think I'd be stupid to turn my back on all that.

You won't be turning your back on anything.

You've gotta challenge yourself.

Every day with you is a challenge.

SHE LAUGHS Piss off.

But seriously...

I mean, I'm staying if you're staying.

Word gets around.

ON RADIO: 'EXPO 1, this is Control. Send me your ETA. Over.'

Control, EXPO 1.

Anya!

Is Steven here? Are you...?

Where is she? Calm down.

Where are the boys? They're safe.

Steven...

You know, I never gave this place much thought.

I mean it. You'd better tell me. I mean, it's nice, it's nice.

Not my taste, but...

I always imagined it was her money that paid for it.

Where are they all? What have you done?

Don't you dare question me about what I'VE done!

It looks empty. Do you wanna try and make the arrest?

I'm done being patient.

If he's in there, I don't want him to have any warning.

OK, if the brothers are working together,

they may have this place rigged.

Suspect's vehicle out front.

Door is open.

I'll check it out.

CTSFO: Clear front. Move right.

Left, left! Corridor! Move!

Armed police! Don't move! Armed police! Armed police!

Stand down!

Wait there.

It's all right, you can get up.

It's OK, you can come out.

You're not in any trouble.

What were you doing?

Steven said it was hide and seek.

UNDER BREATH: OK.

Were you playing hide and seek as well? Yeah.

Hide and seek, yeah?

Guess what? You've won.

Really? Come. Come with me.

There we go.

Steven Wyles was here, but there's no sign of him or his brother.

What about the brother's wife? No, nothing.

She wouldn't leave her grandkids alone.

No, not voluntarily.

Well, there must be another vehicle.

Yeah. Phones, vehicle trackers, let's do it. Sir.

RINGING TONE

'DCI Batra.'

I wanna speak to the head of bomb disposal.

Who is this? Now.

'EXPO 1, it's Wyles. He says he'll only speak to you.'

OK, well, I'll keep him talking as long as I can.

You get a fix on his location. All right, all right.

I'm putting him through now. OK.

This EXPO 1? Yes.

You need to stop this right now.

I wanna finish our conversation.

Is your brother with you?

His wife? Where are you taking them?

You seen the news?

They're calling me a murderer, a terrorist.

PHONE CHIMES

Got him.

Yeah, they're not wrong.

'They are wrong.'

I'm none of those things.

'And I think you know that.'

Tell me where you are.

OVER RADIO: 'Control to EXPO 1 Bravo.

'Suspect vehicle is headed north

'on the Seven Sisters Road towards Tottenham Hale.'

Copy that.

Sit tight.

'Well, it sounds like you know.'

SIREN BLARES

'Don't be too long.'

It's the middle building.

EXPO 1 to all units. Converge to the location of the vehicle.

Steven. What are you doing?

Just up here.

Get out.

You remember what was here?

Honestly? No.

It was a hospital.

Here, it's cold.

It's the first building we demolished as part of Coldmarsh.

They promised to build something great in its place, but...

..that was 30 years ago.

It's been derelict a long time.

Contractors ran out of money,

same old story, and the dream of Coldmarsh died...

along with everyone who worked there.

Did you, er...?

Did you really do what they say you did?

That depends. On what?

Did you... do what I think you did?

SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE

Come on.

You want your wife to live? Move.

ISAAC EXHALES DEEPLY

It's time for your confession.

OVER RADIO: 'EXPO 1, Trojan 1.

HASS: Wash, I've got a vehicle. Looks like his.

Received.

ECM's up and running. Cheers, Danny.

Phone on the front seat.

Copy that. 'EXPO 1, Bronze Command.

'Do not approach the suspect until all units are zero-six.'

Yeah, copy that, Bronze Command.

You see anything? Yeah, possible device found.

It looks like it's wired up to the boot.

Possibly a booby trap.

Control, EXPO 8. Possible device found on vehicle.

Well, he said the middle building, so I reckon he's inside.

Well, you heard what Batra said.

We need to wait for back-up. Well, Wyles isn't gonna wait.

He wants me there. All the more reason not to go.

I'm gonna go in.

HASS SIGHS

Well, at least keep your channel clear.

Any problems, radio through. Yes, Dad (!)

You see... we thought

that it was six people who screwed us over, right?

Six people who were paid off by the Akermark Group

never to mention Coldmarsh again.

You know, to stay quiet about the asbestos report,

knowing that... that one day,

all the people who asked for compensation would just...

..die, right?

Mm. BREATHES SHAKILY

WYLES SCOFFS

You see...

..that's what money buys you, right?

Wait, Danny.

We're more useful to her down here than we're gonna be up there.

We don't know what she might need from us.

Stand still.

UNDER BREATH: Fuck.

PANTING

What's happening, Danny?

Got a live device under this vehicle.

Wash is in the central structure.

Right. Understood. Cheers, mate. Yeah.

Right, OK. You, you, round this way, furthest building.

Yes, sir. You, you, up there.

The rest of you, on me. On it.

OK? Let's go.

Except it wasn't six, was it? It was seven.

You don't have to do this.

Six bosses - six -

and one union rep who stabbed us in the back - you.

Wash. Nearly blinded me.

I promise, I didn't know what the implications would be.

Yes, you did.

You just chose not to think about them...

cos you wanted the lovely house, the wife, the kids, the grandkids.

I didn't know!

You knew exactly what you were doing!

You did!

You did. ISAAC SNIFFLES

Here. Now, you hold this. ISAAC WHIMPERS

And you cover it with your thumb and push down.

That's it. OK? No. No.

GRUNTING

Come on, you bastard. Come on.

You understand? All right? No.

Now, you let go of that, it detonates.

You let go, it's all over.

It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be OK.

Yeah? Yeah.

WHIMPERS

Could be some kind of transmitter here.

BEEPING

SOBBING

Right, cover me but stay clear.

I don't know if he has command over this device.

I don't wanna push him.

There'll be marksmen in the buildings either side.

Yeah. Whatever you do, do not take a shot without my say-so.

Got it? Copy.

PHIL OVER RADIO: 'Trojan 3, we need eyes on the fourth floor.

'No-one is to make any moves until EXPO 1 says so. Over.'

'Trojan 5, in place.'

'Trojan 3, in place.

Where's your brother, Isaac? I don't know.

Just gonna take a look. Stay still.

Keep your thumb pushed down on that button for me.

OK.

EXPO 8, what's your progress?

Yeah, doing great.

EXPO 1 Bravo. Jammer still working?

All good. You?

'Yeah, all good so far.' Copy.

OK, I'm guessing you understand the situation.

You're holding onto a dead man's switch.

If you release your thumb, then... you know what happens.

I'll take a look. You stay calm and still.

Have you got any clue why he's doing this to you?

IN DISTANCE: You need to know what type of man he is.

What, your own brother, Steven? Really?

He was our union rep, when we worked Coldmarsh.

He was the one who assured us that there was no harmful material

in the demolition job.

But he lied.

And he knew it.

My brother, the union rep that everyone trusted.

I was proud of him.

WHISPERING: Please, work quickly.

OK, we've got a dead man's switch, what looks like two and a half,

maybe three kilos of explosives, and a receiver,

possible transmitter.

What did she say? PANTING

'EXPO 1, he's used protective frequencies before.

'If you can get around the jammers, the devices,

'they could be linked.'

My wife died, too, you know... because of him!

Don't move! Don't fire!

He's got a dead man's switch. Stand still! Stand fucking still!

Don't fucking move! Hands in the air!

Hands in the air now! Don't move!

Listen to what I say!

HASS, FAINTLY: Got to get out of there, Wash.

CTSFO, FAINTLY: Stand still. Stand fucking still!

Don't fucking move! Hands in the air!

Hands in the air now!

Eyes on me.

Keep eyes on.

Listen to what I say! Do not move!

Listen to me. Do not move.

Stay calm. Do not move.

Eyes on me. Do not move!

Eyes on me now.

Keep your hands in the air. Do not move.

We have you surrounded. Stay where you are. Look at me.

Look at me and stay where you are! Do not move!

Keep your hands where I can see them.

Do not move! Stop!

Phil, get your CTSFOs out of here now.

I don't think that's a very good... Do it now!

Clear!

Trojan 1 to all Trojans.

EXPO 1 has control. Stand down.

Standing down.

WASH EXHALES

Right.

It's just us now.

It is.

So where's his wife? Is she alive?

Are you in control of that transmitter?

I am. And the car?

So... why haven't you detonated?

I told you. You need to know the truth.

What's going on?

So, Hass is working the device on the car,

and Wash is up there with Wyles and his brother.

Where are CTSFO? They've been pulled back.

Sir, I think you've just got to let Wash do her thing.

Don't try anything.

I'm not. I'm just putting my bag down.

He doesn't deserve to be saved.

Would she have said that?

Tell me about your wife.

Francesca.

How did she die?

Mesothelioma.

So she worked on the site as well? No.

She got it from me, the fibres on my clothes.

I brought it to her.

I loved her more than anything in the world, and I killed her.

I think about her every day.

YOU! You! You don't get to talk about her!

My brother died. And that was my fault.

Since then, nothing's been the same. I'm not the same.

My dad just lost his job.

It's not right, is it?

We're just meant to accept it, aren't we,

that we don't have control over our own lives?

And I just struggle with that.

Maybe that's why we're so similar.

Problem now is, I've just stopped caring.

All this effort.

I don't even know what it's for.

What? I'm spent.

So what should we do?

Well, if you kill him, you're gonna kill me too.

And I guess what I'm saying is I'm... I'm OK with that.

Question is, are you?

He paid for my wife's care while she lay dying

with the money that he earnt from the bribe to stay silent.

That's fucked. Yeah, it is.

You know...

..there was a time when people used to resist.

They used to strike.

CTSFO: MAN: 'Trojan 1, I have the shot.'

PHIL ON RADIO: 'EXPO 1 has not given authorisation to shoot.

'He has a dead man's switch.'

Then they found out that the CEOs and the bosses,

they never get punished, so why bother?

They're lying to us.

All of them, all of the time.

You can't trust any of them, and it's getting worse.

In the end, they don't give a shit.

You have to prove it...

..beyond doubt.

I have to prove it beyond doubt.

Where are you, then?

OK. This must isolate the battery.

I agree with everything you're saying.

But I don't think you'll release that trigger,

cos you're not that kind of guy.

Who says I'm not that type of guy?

Says the hundred grand that you left to the widow of my mate.

One more left. Come on.

Why didn't that function?

Cos I didn't have control of the vest. I never did.

He does.

What?

You let go of that switch, and you kill me.

What? What about him?

As you say, I'm not that type of person.

But he is.

So go on, brother. Let it go.

Don't. I'm not going to.

Oh, yes, you are.

I'm nothing like you. No.

You're so much worse. I know what you're trying to do.

Let it go.

Then no-one will ever find out about the terrible things you did.

Except Anya, of course.

I told her... before she died.

What? Yeah.

Isaac...

I told her, and then I killed her. He's lying.

No. There's a reason I didn't want you looking in the boot.

She might be hard to recognise, brother.

Isaac, don't. How could you?

A wife for a wife. Don't give him what he wants.

The tears made it easy.

Isaac, don't. Don't listen to him.

Don't.

HASS GASPS Truth at last.

BOOM Shit!

Sir...

Ah, sh... Hey, it's OK. It's OK. You're safe.

You're safe. You're safe. It's OK. It's OK.

It wasn't even rigged.

SHE SOBS

Anya? Anya! What have you done?

I don't understand! OK, you can talk to him later.

OK, you've got to come with me. Isaac Wyles. The time is 11:48am.

I'm arresting you for the murder of your brother, Steven Wyles.

I must caution you that you do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned

something which you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

I probably shouldn't have walked off on you then.

I appreciate the apology, mate. No, I wasn't apologising.

You're a dick, you know that? SHE LAUGHS

RAP MUSIC PLAYS

HASS: All right. Here we go.

DANNY: Hey, looking good.

All good? Yeah, all good.

Got it going. Look at that. Why are you so surprised?

Well, I guess when you eventually leave the job,

you can always come back and be my personal barbecue engineer.

Got it.

Carry on like that, you'll have a barbecue removed from your arse.

All right, let's get this on. You put relish on that?

SONYA: It's nice. What else could I have?

I'd quite like to say a few words, if I can.

Oh, come on, it's our day off, Wash. All right, all right, one sec.

Erm...

Look, I know I haven't been at my best recently, and...

You can say that again. Hey, come on, let her speak.

Thank you, Wren. You see me for a pay rise afterwards.

All right. You've got the floor.

Erm, yeah, I'm not at my best. And, er...

..I know that's not easy to be around, I really do.

But I'm working on it, and...

and you'll be pleased to know I've finally found a therapist

that I don't wanna smack.

Oh, well done. Result. Finally.

Erm, but the... the truth is that...

the only reason that I keep going is you lot.

You're family.

I think he's packed my glasses, the daft...

They're on your head.

VAL LAUGHS

Hey, offer still stands, you know.

You could always come with us. No, you're all right.

I'm good here.

You know, we celebrate every success.

And... we feel every loss.

The mad shit... Yeah.

..that is thrown at us. Fucking mad.

But we've always got each other's backs,

and I'd be a fool to walk away from that in a hurry.

All right, that's it. Thanks, mate.

So, let's raise a glass to Rich.

He was a great friend. He was family.

ALL: To Rich.

CHILDREN LAUGH Shall we? Go on, you head in,

and I'll be in in a minute.

He had some great legs, didn't he? Always taking it to the gutter. Why?

You just can't help it, can you? Just stick to the cooking.

All right, let me get on with it. Whay!

Innit? I'm gonna get back to the thing.
