I shall be leaving for the Red Dawn
immediately after this meeting. I do

the current climate is unfavourable for
a visit by you, Prime Minister.

Well, running scared from the current
climate's never done it any favour.

Anna, I can't tell you how relieved I
was to hear you hadn't burned alive in

that hotel.

And I'll be back safely too.

You have to say that Georgia provided
all the drugs.

No way. This will all blow over soon, as
long as we stick to the script.

You need him to lie to Parliament.

That's what always gets him in the act.
Have you ever seen a transformer?

They're not small, you know. So give me
the lefty take on Harry Roundtree. He's

a thug and a bully, but he acts entirely
on principle.

I have far.

Greater trust in people's justice than
in the bleatings of the diversity lobby.

I really recommend you don't go outside,
Prime Minister. The mood is very ugly.

There is no justice but the law in this
country.

To the charlatans who try to make
political capital out of the suffering

others, I say this.

There will be a reckoning.

I promise you, we will turn the lights
on again.

Yeah, because of the situation on the
A1, I've had to go up the M6 to cross

top of the North Benine.

Okay, what's your VTA?

Not long, I've just come off the A69
past Texham.

Hold on, there's a police checkpoint
ahead.

I'm going to have to pull over.

Hold on, do you mean an army checkpoint?
There's no police checkpoints on the

A69.

Not long, I've just come off the A69.

With looting a massive problem in the
Red Zone and emergency services

overstretched and understaffed, the
original protection patrols have merged

other civic groups under the umbrella
term People's Justice.

I'm joined now by one of their members.

So, Scott Manette, who are People's
Justice?

Just a collection of ordinary citizens
organizing to support our communities.

Protect our vulnerable people and stop
the looting.

Some people have accused you of being
nothing more than vigilantes with an

undercurrent of racism.

Some people, well, that's obviously how
the media in London wants people to see

things, aye? How do you see it?

Well, look around you.

Nobody cares about us unless there's an
election on and there are afterwards

votes. And you lot, you call me and my
friends and my family racist.

We hardly spend any time at all talking
about immigration.

Where yous lot go on, you think it was
the only thing we thought about?

I mean, if you're asking us what I think
about what happened to that bloke who

got lynched, I think that was wrong. Of
course I do.

But if we think that our kids should
speak English at school in England and

we should be able to put our own flags
up during the World Cup, then that

doesn't make us racist, does it?

Black people are proud of their culture.

Black is beautiful, that's what they
say.

Now, why should we not say the same
about white people?

Why should white be an insult?

You people, you talk about diversity,
and you talk about respect, but then you

apply it to everyone except us.

Now, people who own the media, people
who run things in this country, they

to make us out to be scum.

Even though it was my granddad who built
the ships that made this country great,

and I actually fought for this country.

I'll tell you what it is, right?

Family comes first. That's obvious.

Then after that, it's country. It's
culture and community.

And then if I've got anything left after
them three, I'm happy to stick my hand

in my pocket.

Now, if you don't like that, take it up
with 99 % of the people in this country,

and that includes the immigrants.

Kids on YouTube are doing the people
justice salute now. They've gone

Yeah, no wonder with the coverage he's
getting.

He's practically got a dedicated camera
team following his every move.

I'll catch you later, Prime Minister.

We need to talk about the situation with
Ellie.

It's who's dealing with it along with my
wife. That's one of my concerns.

In the car, on the way to the red zone.
No, I'm ahead within a spin about the

visits. It'll be fine. It won't, it
won't. Stay in your lane, Anna.

Stay in my... Fraser.

Another fuel tanker's been hijacked in
the red zone.

Only this time they picked up the
driver, and he suffered a cardiac

Owen Harning.

Popular figure.

He's a couple of kids.

He's in intensive care.

Arrange for someone to speak to his
wife. Make sure she has everything she

needs. The lorry driver's union are
under pressure from some of their

call a national stoppage in protest of
the latest attack.

Needless to say, a fuel delivery
stoppage even for 24 hours would cripple

completely. So we bring in the army,
confiscate their assets... I'll be

to Mr. Rountree this morning. Moving on,
I understand the protection patrols are

now calling themselves People's Justice.

Snappy name.

And they have a new poster by de facto
leader.

I should come back and check what's
taken place.

Scott Arthur Minnette, former soldier
who served honorably in Afghanistan, now

leading the People's Justice in the Red
Zone.

He and his men have already seized
valuable fuel reserves from various

locations.

He's well respected in the community.

Big family ties with four children from
different previous relationships to whom

he is apparently devoted.

Two of his daughters are mixed race, by
the way. Fraser, what about the red zone

transformer? First, we needed to check
that it wasn't damaged at sea. It's in

Tilbury Docks, my staff are down there
now.

But it will be moving soon?

Yes. Good.

Okay, I have to leave. Julian, you can
take us through the rest.

It is customary for the Home
Secretary... Left the realm of customary

ago, Archie.

Robert!

Give me a sec.

Will I have to start asking people to
get you to pass me the salt?

You tried to ruin our trip to the Red
Star with that interview.

Have you seen our approval ratings in
this morning's YouGov?

Our as in the party? No, as in you and
me.

You're riding a tiger here, aren't you?
We both know how that one ends. I am the

fucking tiger, Robert.

You may be able to force me out, but can
you get yourself in?

Parting one, aren't you?

She give you that line, did she? Oh,
Anna? No, no, she's your biggest fan.

Sadly, it's not reciprocated, and I look
forward to the day Dominic Knight takes

his rightful place in the policy unit
again. That's the day I no longer may

the matter.

You know, one of the things I'd miss
about not having the top job is trips to

foreign museums with no crowds.

Last time I was in Madrid, they took me
around the Prado.

Anyway, one painting in there
particularly caught my eye.

By Goya.

Two men in the mud beating each other to
death with clubs.

I'll have to Google it when you do that.

I won't sack you if that's what you're
looking for. I won't resign.

Hey, Fraser, it's Steph. Yep.

All going fine.

We're going to be on the road shortly,
so I'll give you a ring when we get off

the M25.

Okay, bye.

Major incident has been declared.

The arrival of a super transformer from
Germany has raised hopes that the power

crisis that has brought misery to
Northumberland might be nearing an end.

Today, the Prime Minister, Robert
Sutherland, restated his promise to turn

lights back on, while warning that the
process of moving and installing the

transformer... might still take some
time.

Critics argue that it is too little, too
late, and the opposition has repeated

its call for him to resign.

You saw her serve it. Big deal. Wrecking
out line of coat doesn't mean you

supplied it.

Bad optics.

I don't care about the optics.

Oh, I was fearing this, Pete, but
nothing in this article means he bought

supplied the drugs.

The police will talk to her again.

Yeah, of course they will.

Anne is not coping well.

I know, but we will get her through this
if we just hold the line.

Thank you, Peter. I know you understand
what's at stake here.

Francine?

Prime Minister, my mole in the union
tells me they're going to use this to

demand a review of the pay floor. Off
the record, obviously. You think I

give it to them?

Yes, because it's actually the right
thing to do.

Oh, well, higher lefties get lefties, I
suppose. But no if you want him to back

off. Ultimately, he wants your head on a
pike.

Well, must be doing something right
then.

So, let's hear what Comrade Ramtree had
to say. Can you show them in?

Prime Minister?

I'm disappointed to see you with this
lot, Francine. In fairness, this lot

throw bricks at my office window.

Yet. You know, I didn't approve of the
way you were handled by your

constituency.

Thank you. But working for them, it's
like crossing a picket line.

But is it as bad as denying essential
food and supplies to suffering people at

time of national emergency just to be
Billy Big Bollock?

That's another reason why I miss you.

Doors always open.

I'll keep that in mind.

Shall we begin?

Time to show them we're not fucking
around.

This is it.

You're that guy who was on the TV.

Aye. You know something?

I really don't like you.

No? No.

I think you're a snide, wrecked by your
ma racist.

And don't try the ignored white working
class number on me either.

If you're so hard working, how come
you've got enough time in your hands to

such a cunt?

And who appointed you to represent
anybody?

Do I fucking sound like I come from the
London elite?

Do I fucking look like it?

No.

You know what I reckon about you?

I reckon you need a good night's sleep.

I am the gold commander.

Get your hands off my fucking shoulders
now.

They're tense.

Get rid of these people.

He's armed, sir.

We don't have support.

Boy, we've got a lot of rabbits around
here, don't we?

Sometimes we shoot them.

Just give us the keys, then.

You want to make me give them to you?

No, I think we'll manage without them.

What do you reckon, lads?

I'll be back after your long gun, son.

These are highly skilled drivers.

There are massive safety issues
involved.

Owen Harding isn't the first to be
attacked by these hijacking guns.

We did train soldiers during the last
fuel crisis, remember?

Oh, and they're on call right now, are
they? You need to get the tankers out of

the depots, which might not be so easy
if my members decide to take matters

further.

Look, the other option is armed escort.

I also understand you wish to discuss
the pay floor again.

High floors should certainly come into
discussions, yeah.

I'm sorry, we have an emergency
situation.

We'll have to reconvene at a later date.

Are you throwing us out?

Well, it's a nice day.

You could have a little stroll round the
garden.

Okay.

Fine.

Just remember, it's not us who's under
pressure here, Prime Minister.

What's the situation with Gold Command?

Gold Commander is waiting for us to do
something.

I told him to go home with the guard.

They brought anarchy. I cannot allow it.
They did.

Get me that secure line with General
Pickering. What are you going to do?

Send in the troops, clear that ravel and
restore order.

Reconvene Cobra so this situation is
dealt with.

And what about relief? Keep those coming
in for now.

General, I have a problem in the Red
Zone.

Sorry, no comment. No comment.

How's the insomnia?

My dad's funeral coming up, which isn't
helping.

Oh, funerals are stressful.

This one in particular.

How come?

My ex -wife.

She's convinced the kids I'm the one
behind all the hamster deaths.

Tell her she can't come.

It's not that easy.

Dad loved his grandkids.

He'd want them there.

Still, I've got a cockapoo riding
shotgun.

That's it?

It's still.

Do you want some human moral support?

It was my Auntie Charmaine's funeral
back in Jamaica last month. Believe me,

don't think your ex -wife got anything
to match the fireworks at that one.

You'd really come along?

Sure. Be more used to you than a dog.

My kids know who you are. Well, I was
the future one.

Listen, the offer's there if you want
it, all right? Just let me know.

I will.

Thanks, Francine.

Listen to them, man. They're trying to
make welcome be a bunch of white

nationalists. They are.

I've got two mixed -race kids, right?

I'm not here about that in the
mainstream media.

I am the mainstream media.

Okay. It's Manish, right? Yeah.

Manish, I don't blame anyone here for
this.

I blame all of this on London.

How about Kamal Hussain?

I told you, tensions were running high.
There was a rapist on the loose.

Anyway, no one's bothering you, are
they? Yeah, that might be because I'm

you. Aye, well, you'd better stick with
us, then.

So the people say the things for once.

Cavalry's arriving now.

Better round up the resistance, that
art.

Aye, stick with us, Manish, because I
think things are about to get pretty

tough.

Hold your position. I need to speak to
the Prime Minister.

I do detect some unease among the troops
of this operation.

This is not what they feel they should
be doing. They're right, it isn't, but

can't have mob rule.

They're aware that Scott Manette is a
veteran who still has close links to

serving troops.

He's also breaking the law. If I'm
ordered to do so, then of course I will

in. But word is that some of the
protesters are armed. Then they're not

protesters, they're paramilitaries. So
would you authorize the use of lethal

force against them? There are people in
that camp who will be very vulnerable if

it all kicks off.

So now what do you care about? Sorry, I
have to be absolutely clear on what my

men will be permitted to do once inside
the hospital. Any casualties, even

arrests, run the risk of creating
martyrs.

You should use restraint, Prime
Minister. Nothing to be gained by trying

tough.

Whether we like it or not, Manette
represents a lot of people now, not just

the affected areas.

Going in, I think it's unwise, Robert,
there will be consequences you might not

be able to handle.

All right, Archie. That was a perfectly
fair point.

General, please instruct your soldiers
to hold their position until further

notice.

We also need to keep an eye on the lorry
drivers.

Our intelligence suggests that
Rowntree's grip on the rank and file

strong, and many of them are sympathetic
to people's justice.

One thing at a time. That might be a
luxury we don't have, of course.

Good spot on Archie's strategy, ma 'am.

He knows storming is the wrong decision.

You only pushed in the hope it would
make you do it and have to wear it.

I'm not sure I made the wrong decision.

What if we send a relief plane with a
special snatch squad instead of

You mean like a Trojan horse?

Yeah.

What is my idea? That's, um... Well, you
do know what that is, don't you? What?

Total bollocks.

You need to go up there.

Here, Ellie. Hi, Anna. It's Dad in. I
need to speak to him.

Dad. Hello.

What's happening? Are the kids okay?

All right.

Meet me at Maddie's flat in Pimlico.

Georgia's dad came to see me. He says he
wants me to tell the truth.

He wants me to tell the police it was me
that provided the drugs. Okay, well,

he's obviously grieving. Dad.

The thing is, in situations like this,
how does pointing the finger... Because

he thinks the finger is pointing at
Georgia, and he thinks that that is

especially with the whole, you know,
this whole racial thing. That's not

is it?

I mean, no one is pointing any fingers
because Georgia's...

I'm speaking as your parent now.

Watching you get your degree. I can't
think about that now.

Look at that, Ellie.

A lot of young people take drugs when
they're at university. Did you?

No.

Too busy reading Locke and Hume.

Although the wrong generation for all
the exciting ones.

But most people who do take them...

What happened to Georgia is tragic.

And no confession, no punishment is
going to bring her back, which is what I

found for anyone.

Sweetheart.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

friend, Dad.

I miss her so much.

It's going to be alright.

You'll see.

This is all going to blow over.

Where'd you get these?

They were sent to me anonymously at the
office.

So this is after the hotel fire.

So I assume you were with him in the
hotel.

Do you love him?

Don't know.

I've slept with other women during our
marriage.

Which I suspect that you know. I prefer
suspicion to knowledge.

Well, either way, I don't want to be a
hypocrite.

So what,

are you unhappy in this marriage? No,
not at all.

I don't really have time to be unhappy.

On the occasions our paths cross, I'm
always really happy to see

you.

I guess not everyone can say that.

They really can't.

Come and speak to them and explain that
I'm staying here for a bit.

There's a few things I need to sort out
with regards...

Eleanor, it's Anna Marshall here. I need
to speak to you about something

important.

Order! Order!

Let me assure the House that every step
is being taken in order to break the

deadlock at the Royal Northumberland
Hospital.

We will restore legitimate authority to
the Red Zone, and it is completely

intolerable. that unelected vigilantes
attempt to seize control of the

situation. I will, of course, attempt to
find a peaceful negotiated settlement,

and that is what is currently happening.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

In light of the events that we have been
witnessing, I welcome the Prime

Minister's commitment to the rule of law
and due process.

Mr. Speaker, with that in mind...

Will he give me an assurance that there
will not be, nor has been, any

interference into the police
investigation into the death of Georgia

a fentanyl overdose, and also, Mr.
Speaker, that none of the witnesses of

case have been coached by... Mr.

Speaker, Mr. Speaker, first may I say
how shocked I was.

but the death of Georgia Nixon.

She was, as I'm sure you're all aware,
known to my family.

She was a delightful girl with her whole
life ahead of her, and her thoughts go

out to her family at this difficult
time.

And yet I agree with my honourable
friend.

I agree that the law must take its
course unimpeded.

No one is beyond its reach. I have never
interfered with that, and I would

never... Instruct any of my staff to do
so.

Order! Order!

What is the nature of the relationship?

I met him in Bosnia 25 years ago, when
he was a translator.

We were in a relationship, and then he
disappeared.

He went to try and find his sister,
who'd been captured by the Serbs in

Visegrad.

He only reappeared a couple of weeks
back.

Why did he come back to find you after
so long?

Every question you want to ask going
forward.

I saw a message on his phone from
somebody called Tony Lulin, an ex

with the Bosnian army with a
reputation... Yeah, I know who Lulin is.

What's the nature of their working
relationship?

When I met him at the hotel, it was only
the second time since his return.

Did you sleep with him?

Yes. Well, to be fair, I can understand
the temptation.

I left my bag in his room during the
fire.

Was it returned to you? Mm -hmm.

There was nothing sensitive in it, but
obviously the hotel staff may have

out for him.

Will you please run any checks
necessary?

I won't see him again until any
questions arise. Isn't the fact that

husband is aware of this a factor?

Yes. but not the decisive one, which is
national security.

And ensuring the Prime Minister is not
affected by this.

Okay.

I'll leave this with me.

The deceased Prime Minister Robert
Sutherland is facing press pressure to

after allegations that members of his
team of advisers may have interfered

a police investigation into the death of
Georgia Nixon, a friend of his daughter

Ellie.

What's happening?

I don't know, we've stopped.

Where are we?

Uh, just near Staveman.

Is that Yorkshire?

No.

Sounds like Yorkshire.

We're in Hertfordshire on the M1.

Fuck! With 15 miles per hour, remember?

Ugh.

Let's go have a look.

What's this all about?

Dad. Sweetheart, I have an emergency
call for you. I really need to speak to

you. Can you give us a sec?

We've got a really serious situation
unfolding. We need you now.

Darling, I'll speak in an hour, okay?
One hour.

Owen Harding is in a coma and will
probably never walk or talk again.

And this... Government is more
interested in shoring up a rigged system

talking to us. We went to see them in
Downing Street, and they tried to make

wait in the garden.

Now, my union has its differences with
people's justice, but this is a revolt

against the elite in Westminster.

And our blockade, it's the only way to
make them listen. They've got the

tightly encircled. Every way in is
blocked.

You can't put it with the reds on it.

It's stranded somewhere near St. Albans
and can't move.

You have to get it moving, Fraser.
Everything hinges on restoring power.

Well, the problem is... Don't bring me
the problem till you have the fucking

solution.

Got it.

For years, you've tried to make us
invisible.

For years, you've tried to make a joke
out of us. For years, you've tried to

make it like we don't exist.

Well, I do.

Here we are, Mr. Prime Minister.

Here we are.

Where are you?

You better be listening now.

You better be listening now.

No more negotiations with him.

Rather looks as if the Falcon is
sticking two talons up at you, Robert.

We are ready for you now, Prime
Minister.

The situation in London today is very
grave.

The capital has effectively been
encircled, and our attempts to move a

transformer to the Red Zone...
Paralyzed.

Without fuel and supplies, people in the
worst affected areas will die.

This is not legitimate protest.

It is an act of supreme selfishness, and
no politician with the slightest

pretense at democratic credentials
should support it.

In the face of this assault on democracy
and the rule of law, I will not resign.

And I will certainly not call a general
election, as some are suggesting.

And especially ludicrous demand, given
the current situation we face.

To those who say we are not listening, I
extend an invitation to sit down in a

wide -ranging national convention to
work out our differences face -to -face

the best interests of our country. A
country that is suffering so terribly

the consequences of a natural event.

Surely the destructive power of the
solar storm should make us reflect on

fragility of our species and not look
for opportunities to divide and harm

other.

That is all.

Thank you.

The lorry drivers union won't attend
without people's justice.

Which means Scott Minnette. No. Hold on
a sec.

Only a week ago, he was just another
nobody shutting his mouth off. But a

is a long time in a national emergency.
And for better or worse, Mr. Nobody

speaks for a lot of people. I am not
inviting that man to Downing Street.

us, then.

Overall them with history and tradition.
It always works.

Otherwise, there'll be no convention.

We cannot use the armed forces to break
the blockade of London.

The situation in the relief centres will
deteriorate very quickly.

We have no choice but to include
people's justice if we want the union

to come and talk. And that means
Minette.

Invite Scott Minette.

But make sure Harry Roundtree feels like
top dog. He's got a massive ego and he

won't want some upstart stealing his
thunder.

So we get the lorry drivers in first,
give them dinner.

Exactly. Invite Scott Minette the
following day. Then it will be clear who

consider to be the organ grinder.

Fine, but just Scott Minette. None of
his specialist entourage and certainly

none of his fan club in the media.

He's in the endgame now, but we need to
separate him from Anna Marshall.

I think a divorce might be just the
distraction she needs. You really are a

piece of work, Archie. Thank you. Don't
get distracted by petty revenge.

She sacked Dominic Knight.

Endgame is when this breaks in the
tabloids and I give him her desk. Oh, I

really see that happening.

You always had an odd affection for her.

Well, it's not odd. It's very simple.

She's good and she's hardworking.

And those two things count a lot with
me.

More importantly, though, you can't do
it. What do you mean I can't? Has there

been a coup d 'etat? I should have added
sensible to good and hardworking.

She did the right thing without
prevarication and came straight to me.

So?

So I did my homework and put in some
calls because I, too, am good and

hardworking.

Edin Todembegovic is connected to a
Balkan gangster called Tony Lulin, who

involved in heroin from Turkey.

And there is definitely some concern
about links with returning jihadists

Syria.

So what are we waiting for? I have
reasons for letting things play out a

See if there's anything to our advantage
here. When she goes, he goes, or vice

versa. I really don't care which way
round it happens.

I'll only be staying there while this
crisis is ongoing.

Well, you've caused this crisis.

This is all on you.

Fuck's sake, Bonnie, no one cares about
the political situation. I do. Okay,

look. No, let's hope this is the start
of a proper revolution so you both get

put up against the wall and shot.

Assuming that doesn't happen. He's just
upset about... I know.

Well, go and talk to him in a sec.

It is really scary, Mum, all those
lorries. It's terrifying.

And that's a big failure. People don't
have to live in fear of society falling

apart.

What's going to happen?

With me and Dad?

You and Dad.

I don't know.

I'll stay at Maddy's for the next week.

Until Dad goes back to the States again.
In the meantime, this is for you.

Come and see me whenever you like.

Everything will be all right. I promise.

Your dad and I, we're still... We're
still okay.

I've seen a lot of stuff about myself
online in the last week.

Silly little rich girl.

How I'm protected by my privilege.

How I am blaming a dead black girl to
save my own white skin.

Georgia was my best friend.

I loved her.

And she did not deserve what happened to
her.

And she doesn't deserve to be blamed for
it now.

And I am sorry that I have added to the
suffering of her family.

I admit that it was all my fault.

I was the one that provided the jug, and
I lied.

Well, this isn't exactly going to plan,
is it, Peter?

I think we can weather the storm.

Supply where personal gain isn't the
motive. You and Rachel knew that from

start. A cynic might think that
protecting Ellie wasn't the primary

Listen, I'm not here to discuss motives.
I'm sure the courts will be lenient to

Ellie, especially in the light of that
touching confession.

Oh, come on, Archie.

Anything to have touched you recently
lifts up several flights of stairs in

German Street.

But will the same leniency be extended
to those who encouraged her to lie?

to the police. I hope not, because that
would be perverting the course of

justice. Indeed, the courts are never
lenient on that one. You can get a hefty

spell in Chokey just for trading speed
points. And what's yours?

Point, I mean. My point?

I suppose it's to encourage you to avoid
the big bus that's heading in your

direction, because one way or another,
someone's going under it, and slippery

piece of shit that you are, I imagine
you don't want that someone to be you.

Georgia was my best friend.

I loved her.

She did not deserve what happened to
her, and she doesn't deserve to be

for it now.

I'm sorry that I've added to the
