Original subtitles

Isn't your re-licensing coming up?

And your psych test?

You've gotta go through the return to work protocols.

I suppose if we all told them the truth

none of us would be working, huh?

I did a terrible thing.

Help!

We are dealing with a serial killer who uses bombs.

I've actually been researching a possible connection

between Agnes Raffner and Declan O'Kelly.

Well, I've seen him send a text message before he died.

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

I found Ewan Knox.

Ah! Phil!

I showed you my badge

and you tried to shut the front door in my face.

I have no visa.

I wanna be a detective.

Ah!

Don't move.

Yeah, yeah. Go, go, go.

Stop getting in my way.

Suspended from driving.

Well, so far he's given us chemical weapons, drowning

and now this.

The way these people are being murdered...

nobody deserves to die like that.

Yes, they do.

Why do they?

So Ewan Knox told me

he's got something called mesothelioma.

It's a type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.

The former employees of DBN Construction

particularly those who worked on what the company knew

as the Coldmarsh contract.

What's going on? Michael Adeyemi?

We're looking for your wife, Jo.

So how can you prove that a company

wilfully and knowingly sent people to their deaths?

You get them to confess.

He's not asking for a confession this time.

It's a public execution.

How are you doing, mate?

It just doesn't make sense.

I know.

It must have had a collapse in circuit in the scales.

No, it wasn't, it wasn't.

We don't know that.

Wash, you said it yourself.

The bomber doesn't want any collateral damage.

And why would he complicate just one of the devices?

Rich cut the wrong wire.

Made a mistake, it's as simple as that.

I need to file an after action report.

Wash, just take a moment please, mate.

I'm alright.

No, you're not.

I'm not.

He had two little girls.

Oh, don't, don't.

Sit down, Jeff.

Sit down, Jeff.

So what's happening now with work?

Erm, they're gonna bring my psych test forward.

Make sure I'm OK.

Are you?

It's the job, innit?

I don't know that it is.

That's the way it's always been.

You lose someone, you keep going.

Yeah.

Till there's no one there to keep going.

Jesus, Dad.

I'm just saying.

You're not at war now, Lana.

What you need to do is look after yourself.

You can't lock these things away, it will catch up with you in the end.

I'm dealing with it.

Right. How?

I did like him.

I was always glad you had him with you in Afghanistan and that.

He was so solid, weren't he?

Had that way about him.

Dependable.

Yeah.

Yeah. He was an idiot.

Them poor kids.

Oh, love.

We've been here too many times, haven't we?

It's lovely to sit with you.

Oh, well listen, thank you for having me for so long.

You know you can stay as long as you like.

How's the new job?

Erm, it's good. It's good, thanks.

Mum. - Mum.

Turn this up, will you?

There is as yet no motive for the attack.

There are reports though that the word "murderers"

was painted on the floor.

Police are not commenting on that...

God, how awful. - Yeah.

...linked to the recent deaths of Declan O'Kelly and Agnes Raffner

both former employees of the now defunct DBN Construction.

I... I can't listen to this.

...in Greenwich, the explosion has left people in this part of the capital

clearly shocked and afraid, it is said, for their own security.

Did you know them?

I don't think so.

You?

No. No.

We never crossed paths.

We are just getting reports from the police

that one of the victims... - This is bloody awful though.

What kind of a bastard does a thing like this?

Maybe he thought it was the only way to get justice.

The man has been named

as Explosives Officer Richard Manning.

The statementjust released says he was married

with two young children.

Detectives are saying nothing about the measures...

I've gotta go back to work.

...and afraid, it is said, for their own security.

...putting in place to find any suspects.

Although police activity in the area

and indeed around the city has increased significantly

as the manhunt intensifies.

What we're looking at is cyclochloride residue.

The bomber had refined it into a powdered form

and placed a lethal dose on the inside of the respirators.

We can see it here around the mouth of the victims

and under the nose.

All three of them started showing symptoms

of cyclochloride poisoning in the ambulance.

By the time they got to the hospital, it was too late.

You can see here and here, the...

Wash. Ahem.

Lana, look, you're not meant to be here.

Well, the job's not finished.

We've still got a missing hostage.

Yes. Well, I... I know, but-- - Yeah, well.

I've dealt with all four devices so far.

If you bring in a new team, they're gonna come in cold

they don't know how the bomb's working and you will lose more operators.

I wish that wasn't the case.

I don't wanna be your only chance at stopping him

but it's just the way it is. And I'll be fucked

if I'm gonna sit at home staring at the walls while my team's in danger, so it's up to you.

You bypass your fucking psych test or I'm done.

Could you carry on please, Sonya?

OK. The hostages didn't make it through, Wash.

He put cyclochloride powder on the inside of the resis.

They inhaled it.

He was making sure that no one would survive.

Hmm.

Just like Declan O'Kelly.

Yeah.

But because it wasn't in its gas form, the severity of the symptoms

and the time to death would've taken longer.

And you've had no side effects or?

Erm, well, the delivery system was designed to be completely inhaled by the victims.

The EXPOs were at minimal risk.

And the device that Rich was working on

was that a trap, is that why it detonated?

We don't think so. No.

It was a sophisticated device.

He was unlucky.

It could have been any one of us.

Listen, guys, I...

I really am very sorry for your loss.

We appreciate that, sir. Thank you.

We've got to assume he's planning something else.

Our number one priority

is to find the fourth hostage, Jo Adeyemi.

Since we found out she wasn't with the other three

our officers have been working around the clock.

- And? - Well, nothing.

But the fact that she's still missing gives us hope she's still alive.

Right. Well, we need to speak to Ewan Knox

the oxygen cylinders and the devices were his.

Well, we can't do that, they were destroyed in the blast.

So we can't confirm it.

Oh, I'm confirming it for you right now.

No, we definitely can't question Ewan Knox.

Well, he's the best lead we have.

His condition is deteriorated.

He's been moved to palliative care

and we're not gonna get anything from him.

Well, what about this nurse that was caring for him?

She must know something.

Yeah, I could go back to her.

OK, do it. - OK.

Chief delegator.

I'm glad you're back, mate.

Make sure it's for the right reason.

My name is Jo Adeyemi.

I worked as legal counsel for DBN Construction...

Sir?

There's something you need to see.

You've seen the execution.

Now this is why.

Jesus Christ.

This is our confession.

Look at these.

All of them. - He's there.

He's in the room with her.

Letters from people who worked the Coldmarsh contract...

all of them victims of asbestos poisoning.

The government hearing in 2023, they were looking into how companies handled

asbestos exposure, seeing what liabilities they might be.

And you stood in front of them, didn't you?

I said...

I said we had an asbestos survey carried out on the Coldmarsh contract.

And that it was all clear.

But you lied, didn't you?

The buildings were riddled with it.

Charlie Marsh, died last year. Age 53.

Mesothelioma.

Ollie Quinn. Age 56.

Mesothelioma.

Sally Collins, Mohammed Khan, Tony Cox.

Jan Novak.

Mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma.

Meso-fucking-thelioma.

How's this being broadcast?

It's streaming live across multiple social media channels.

Can we find out where it's coming from? - Already on it.

You need to get this taken down.

Yeah. People keep reposting it.

There's literally hundreds of letters.

You buried the real report, didn't you?

The one that said that the site was literally riddled

with asbestos because you knew

that would delay the job by years

and the company didn't have years

and you needed the money.

So you lied to save time.

Yes.

The six people who ran the Coldmarsh contract

lied for money. - Yes.

Knowing full well that people would die as a result.

Oh, my God.

Bastards. Yes.

And in doing that, you took time

from people's lives, didn't you?

Well, we call that corporate manslaughter

although I think murder is a better word.

And so the plaintiffs, those hardworking men and women

now discovering they had an incurable illness

they would run out of time and die

before they could achieve any justice.

That... that wasn't...

We should have just left him to it.

We don't choose who we save.

And now

I'm gonna take time from you.

No, please.

OK. That's a small charge.

With a CW element.

You will die in one hour.

Please. Please.

And everyone will see justice being done.

I've got an IP address.

ISP records are for an umbrella business account

operating in this area.

Umbrella for what? Where is it?

A business park, 11 miles away.

It's not being re-routed?

It doesn't appear to be, it's not a VPN server.

I'll keep digging, see if I can get anything more specific.

We've only got an hour.

Let's go!

Moving out in two minutes.

I thought you were done with those?

They're not mine, they haven't cleared his locker yet.

Well, why was he taking them?

I don't know, why do any of us?

We're stupid enough to do this job.

Did you mean what you said to Batra about packing it in?

Yeah, I did.

Wash. - Don't ask me if I'm OK.

Well, I'm not stupid, am I?

No, but you just looked at me like I was gonna nail the packet then.

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

You need to find a better way to cope.

It's working for now.

Look, it doesn't just affect you.

Will you let me get on with my job?

What, like Rich did?

Hmm?

Fuck off.

I can't let you end up like him.

Today, Hass, yeah?

The oxygen cylinders used

had a recognisable courier label.

We found a partial consignment number that seems to match

with the cylinders used by Mr Knox.

I didn't supply anything to anyone

you have to believe me.

This is a very serious crime, Elena

and we still have a woman missing.

We have a team putting their lives in danger

to find her as we speak.

I told you someone must've-- - Taken the cylinders. Yeah.

Yeah, I heard. I heard.

Just like someone stole the package delivered to Mr Knox's house on the 18th?

But the thing is

the PIRs that were delivered to Mr Knox's house

they were used as part of two devices

that led to the deaths of two people.

The oxygen tanks, they were used in a device

to torture three people

three people that are now dead.

Alongside one of my colleagues.

And now

another woman is going to be executed

with the world watching.

I don't... I don't know. - You don't know?

You know we have enough evidence to convict you, Elena.

We'll get confirmation that the oxygen tanks were Mr Knox's.

But he's too sick to take the fall for this, you know that.

So it's not gonna be him in jail.

It'll be you.

Please.

Please, I didn't think people would die.

OK, so what did you think?

Listen, I am willing to believe you, I am.

But no one else will.

Not if you don't help us find this woman.

Tell me what you know.

The IP address behind the Jo Adeyemi broadcast

has been narrowed down to this building.

Right, who normally worked here?

Well, it was a testing facility for construction materials

but it's been empty for a while.

Right.

You don't sound convinced.

It's too easy.

The bomber's been ahead of us every step of the way

he's gonna know we can track the live stream.

Hass, we're up.

You know I can be the one to go in, you know, it doesn't have to be you.

You been talking to Sonya?

I just want you to know, yeah?

You say the word and I'll be right behind you, OK?

We're coming up on the location of the IP address.

Breaching, three, two...

Move!

Armed police! Armed police!

Armed police! Armed police!

Armed police!

Wash, we got a router.

I've got it.

It doesn't look like it's been tampered with.

Then the signal isn't being manually diverted either.

The stream is coming from inside that building.

EXPO One, she's running out of time.

Wash, what do you wanna do?

Let's keep moving.

Armed police!

Armed police!

DS Morgan, any news?

Oh, Lana was right.

Ewan Knox's nurse said he's had regular contact

with a former colleague over the past six months.

Do we have an ID?

No. She said she never saw his face, they made sure of that.

But she did overhear them talking on several occasions

she said she heard the word Coldmarsh

and that Ewan Knox told her to take the PIR delivery

and to leave out the oxygen tanks.

Do we think she's involved?

I don't sir, no.

So the one person who can answer our questions

is too sick to talk. Great.

She also said she heard them talking about a job

at Raglan Yard.

What's that?

It's a storage facility just outside the city.

Storage facility for what?

Well, I'm off to find that out.

Armed police!

Armed police!

Continuing search of ground floor.

What the hell is that?

Wash, what is that?

Apricot stones.

What?

EXPO Eight, EXPO One.

Go ahead, EXPO One.

The gas that the bomber used, cyclochloride

Sonya said that was refined from fruit stones, yeah?

That's correct. Why?

This isn't just where he is keeping her

this is his workshop.

I can't breathe in this fucking thing.

We need Medicare now.

What happened? Talk to me. What did you step on?

I don't know. Ah fuck!

Missed your valuables mate, you're good.

Stay calm, just try and sit...

Let him do his thing.

EXPO One, what's going on?

Yeah. He's rigged the place.

He knew we were coming.

We keep moving.

Stay vigilant.

Take it slowly.

You heard Wash, no one does anything

without her say so.

Bronze Command, can you connect Ewan Knox

to this location?

We're checking the list of tenants right now.

Closed door front.

Knox was a tenant

he had a unit in the main warehouse.

Step back, I'll take a look.

Clear!

Armed police!

Stop! Stop!

Come back. Come back.

EXPO Eight, EXPO One, we've got trip wire.

Charge disabled.

Received EXPO One.

Upper level, southwest corner.

Put your resi on, Wash.

I'll do it when I need to.

Office located.

I can't see, no visual.

Yeah, this must be the one.

Should we breach?

Lemme check first.

Push everyone back.

OK. After you.

Bronze Command, Trojan One.

EXPO One is checking a suspect

we've moved to the second level.

Clear!

Armed police! - Armed police!

EXPO One, bomber's workshop confirmed.

No sign of Jo Adeyemi yet.

Phil, pull your lot back.

It's gotta be here somewhere.

Bronze Command, EXPO One.

Victim operator device identified.

VOD neutralised.

Come on Wash, come on mate, come on. Come on.

EXPO One, you have two minutes remaining.

Jo?

Bronze Command, EXPO One. I've found her.

No sign of the suspect, Phil, get in here.

Right, help me get this down.

She's conscious, she should be able to hear you.

Cheers. Get back. Get back.

Jo? Jo?

Oh fuck!

EXPO One, this Bronze Command, what's going on?

The video's not live. - What do you mean?

I mean the video's not fucking live, it's on a time delay! She's dead.

Looks like the device triggered a while ago.

The gas has dissipated.

Told you he was wasting our time.

He's been distracting us.

Fucker!

What's he been doing instead?

Oh, finally!

Was wondering when the head office would send someone.

Come on.

I know the guy on the phone said not to worry

but it's quite a lot of stuff to go missing.

The other guy put it down as a discrepancy

but it feels like a theft to me.

And what theft would that be?

Right. - Yeah.

I dunno what he's gonna do with all that.

And you're saying head office have this?

They know about the theft?

Went all the way up to the CEO.

Hey.

It's me.

Stevie.

It's done.

All of those that were paid to lie

they're gone.

It's nearly over.

Everything's in place.

It doesn't...

It doesn't have to end the way you think.

Huh? - Ewan.

You can't blame yourself.

She... She wouldn't.

I do.

I do blame myself.

But it's alright.

Everyone knows now.

We got the truth out there.

You've got the truth out there.

So let me take the blame.

No. - You could run.

It's too late.

It's too late for both of us.

OK?

More?

It's no way to go.

No, it's no way to go.

I'm sorry you had to suffer so long.

I'm glad I hung on...

to know...

we got them.

We got them.

OK.

Make it quick.

Come on. Pick up.

Helen, what have you got? - There's been a theft

at the Akermark storage facility.

Theft of what?

EXPO One?

EXPO One, please respond.

Trojan One, have you got eyes on EXPO One?

No, she told us to wait outside.

I'm going in.

It's not safe. - Exactly.

EXPO One, I have critical information.

Please respond.

EXPO One?

Wash!

I'm coming in.

We need to talk to you.

We've got new information.

Get forensics here and let 'em do their thing.

No. No, they can't.

They just found out that the bomber stole 80 kilos of slurry.

We could be standing on a massive bomb.

CTSFOs have started clearing the building.

Have you cleared this room?

No, cos I was looking for Jo. - Well, I can do it, you can leave.

Well, I'll do this room, you do that room.

Alright.

Alright.

Tell me about the room that you're in, Wash.

Erm...

There's a body

a laptop...

camera, cupboards.

Clear the body first.

I need my bag, Hass, it's just by the doorway.

OK, seen it.

Passing it through now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Photo sensitive switch behind the body

and we've got a PIR movement sensor above the door.

Don't pass anything through.

How have I missed that?

He's gonna blow this place up.

Destroy the evidence and us.

Bronze Command, EXPO One.

Device armed.

You need to clear the building, clear the surrounding areas immediately.

If it's 80 kilos, the blast area will be huge.

Wash, how many pills did you take?

Too many.

Are you OK?

Wash, talk to me mate, are you OK?

Just shut up a minute, I'm trying to think.

I need you to focus mate, OK.

Look for anywhere that might be housing the explosives.

Yeah. Yeah. Which could be anywhere.

Stay focused, Wash.

Are you seeing anything?

Back! Move back!

Move back now please.

Yeah, I've got something.

It doesn't look like slurry though.

What does it look like?

Like some sort of... some kind of homemade explosive.

OK. What else?

Keep talking, Wash.

Stay focused.

Fuck!

Yeah, it's, erm... it's everywhere, it's all over the room.

What's wrong, Wash?

You feeling sick?

Hang on in there, I'm right here, mate.

I can smell burning.

What is it?

The light sensitive switch must've triggered the fuse

and it's burnt the wires.

It's armed the device.

OK so connect the wires and bridge the circuit.

Yeah. Well that might not work.

It's all we've got, Wash.

Just do it mate.

I'm trying.

No, it won't reach.

Pull harder!

It won't reach!
