Let him in? 81 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,480 The book states when the alarm sounds no-one shall leave or enter. 82 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,400 (This is a glorified fire drill!) More than that - terrorist attack! 83 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,400 Bali, Kenya, the Moscow Theatre! Any minute, it'll happen here. 84 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,640 So we need Danny.

Everyone must take part. 87 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,880 We must brief the Home Secretary in an hour. Can't help. 88 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,800 We knew an EERIE exercise would be sprung on us some time this month. 89 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,200 - And EERIE is? - Extreme Emergency Response Exercise. 90 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,400 Good. The first rule is all officers will respond to any situation thrown at them professionally. 91 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,080 We treat this as real. Oh, what fun. 92 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,880 ALARM BLARES You're late. 93 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,760 Tom is Em-Ex Officer. ..Will somebody close that?! 94 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,320 - What's that? - A drill. - A big one? 95 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,360 Dunno.

That's Emergency Executive Officer. 100 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:05,960 He co-ordinates our efforts. OK. Somewhere in the building an EERIE team tell us about an emergency. 101 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,160 As it unfolds, they assess us. And the work we're doing already? 102 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,120 We put aside everything until it's over. So we take this seriously. 103 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,200 So a major incident in progress. Now, remember what we do... We gather, identify and destroy. 104 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:27,040 Thank you. We gather what we can about threats to national security, identify enemies of the state, 105 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,480 and we send in forces to close them down. 106 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:37,200 That's what we do in emergencies like this. ..Colin, Malcolm you are the technical team. OK. 107 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Zoe, monitor radio broadcasts. Try and see what's happening, yes? Yes! 108 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:48,880 Sam, Ruth - research team. Goody. Danny, you're liaison officer for everyone and my second in command. 109 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,680 The rest, including our guests Mark and Bridget, muck in as required. 110 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:57,520 Rock'n'roll. Right. Let's talk to the Duty Room. 111 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:03,560 I suppose we go along with this. Yes, but if it IS an emergency, then we can't be stuck here. 112 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,520 Patching her through...now. 113 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,920 There's been an explosion in Parliament Square. Do we know what kind? Not yet. 114 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,680 But I'm Duty Room Officer, and the drill is to seal everywhere in Thames House, in case. 115 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:29,040 Of what? If it was a nuclear device we wouldn't be here, but it could be a radioactive dirty bomb. 116 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:34,520 People will get radiation poisoning then cancers, deformed children... 117 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,280 This is in Parliament Square? Half a mile away? 118 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,920 Latest intelligence says about ten are being made somewhere in London. 119 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,680 It was in my briefing. Dot, what are the emergency services doing? 120 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,800 I don't know. There's a lot of confusion here. 121 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,480 RUMBLING Oh, God! What? 122 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:59,200 C section and the Registry! I can't lock them down. Why not? The system's not working! 123 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,000 Why is it that nothing here works?! 124 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,680 - I can't get a signal. - The damper cage must be down. 125 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,880 - What does that mean? - Our phones and mobiles won't work. 126 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,640 - We're totally cut off. - But I must call the hospital!

The locking switches won't work! 128 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,840 Is it just the grid and the control that's locked down? At the moment. 129 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,520 It's on Radio Four. Put it on the speakers. ..Dot, lock down the building. 130 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,280 'We'll know more as this unfolds. 131 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,320 'To repeat - a bomb has exploded in Parliament Square. 132 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,360 'Reports are sketchy, but police ask traffic to avoid Parliament Square, 133 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,400 'the area around Westminster and the Embankment. 134 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,520 'We have our reporter Ed Hadley on the scene in Central London. ..Ed, what can you tell us? 135 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,360 'I'm near the Cenotaph.

It's an alternative seat of Government 152 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,920 under the Cotswold Hills in between Bath and Corsham. 153 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,120 In an attack, the Cabinet and 250 officials and scientists go there. 154 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,520 Would you two go?

She could cut us off completely. 176 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,560 Don't worry! I'm sorting it out! Dot, what is happening on other floors? Section C? 177 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:09,640 We need to be connected to the Metropolitan Police Central Control Room. Can you put us through? 178 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,040 No. 179 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,560 Dot? 180 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,320 Dot, I'm losing you. Dot? 181 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,840 Don't...! Dot, don't touch anything! We have to keep the channels open. 182 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,520 Do not touch anything! Stop! 183 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,520 Look, I don't want to, but... What if this isn't a drill? 184 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,240 The telly. 185 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,000 People are running! Something's happened! 186 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:05,480 - What's happening out there? What's doing this? - It's got to be technical. 187 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:11,320 - I'll check the circuit breakers. - I'll give you a hand. What the hell is going on? 188 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,400 MAN STRAINS I've got it. ..I've got it. 189 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,440 OK? Yeah, put it there. 190 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,360 - Anything? - Nothing. 191 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,200 Tom, we've got something! On the cable link? Somehow. Right! Everyone, in here! 192 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,160 Get Harry for me, will you? 193 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:18,680 Can we talk to him? ..Can we?! I don't know if he's got a mike in his suit. Where do you think he is? 194 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,160 Looks like a vehicle. How do we communicate with him? It looks like a sort of van. 195 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,360 A mobile incident control room? Zoe, what do we know about that? 196 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,800 It's always sent to the site of a major incident. 197 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,320 A small lab for analysis, radios and Computer Aided Despatch. 198 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:42,960 That's how they're reaching us - via satellite to the cable network. P...? Parliament Square. 199 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,200 V-X. 200 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,760 Not the gas! Dear God! 201 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,640 Lost it... Get it back! 202 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,000 VX... 203 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,520 CLEARS HER THROAT 204 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:23,240 Sorry. It's OK, Ruth. It's the thought... ..Sam, you've been working with Ruth on this. 205 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,080 Let's be absolutely clear about what this stuff does. 206 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,320 Well, it's one of the deadliest nerve agents ever developed. 207 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,360 This is its formula. Look at the chlorine bonding in that! 208 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:39,400 Makes it almost indestructible. VX was first developed by us, 209 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,240 at Porton Down, Wiltshire in 1952, where it was first tested. 210 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,320 It's a grade double-A weapon. That means devastating. 211 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,600 We traded the technology with the US for information on the H-bomb. 212 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,640 Oh, dear. It is odourless. Its molecules are also adhesive. 213 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,000 It's virtually impossible to remove them from surfaces they stick to. 214 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:07,680 As a liquid, it's a green, viscous slime. It stops nerve endings communicating with each other. 215 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,680 VX is absorbed through the skin or eyes and acts almost immediately. 216 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,600 It takes between one and two hours to result in death. The LD... LD? 217 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,440 Lethal dose. Yes. The lethal dose is as little as ten milligrams for humans. 218 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:29,600 The only known countries to possess VX are the US, France, Russia, and Iraq, according to the coalition. 219 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:36,080 Britain, after inventing it, abandoned stocks in favour of thermonuclear weapons. 220 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,160 Is there an antidote? Yes - atropine. It is itself highly toxic. 221 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:47,680 For it to have an effect, it has to be injected directly into the heart. One sweet weapon. 222 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:55,320 I was thinking technically. Right. Now we know it's VX gas, we need to seal the Grid as best we can. 223 00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:00,440 - The air conditioning's down, so the air's ours. - What about the loos? 224 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:06,680 The water's in tanks on the roof. It could get in up there, if we're going to get picky. 225 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,560 So we shut the loos down and set up emergency toilets. I didn't mean... 226 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,080 Pass me back to Parliament Square. 227 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,240 I must talk to him, come on. 228 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,120 - Try the back-up router. - I tried that, but... 229 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:26,960 LOW ROAR Whoa! 230 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,880 Can you hear me? 231 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,080 OK, what exploded? ..A car? 232 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,600 Bigger than a car? 233 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,120 A van? ..We need to know more. Can you look at the wreckage? 234 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:50,920 What's he mean? He's linked to air in the vehicle, his cylinder must be empty. What's going on? 235 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:57,920 We must find out more about who did this, and we must know more about their vehicles. Do you understand? 236 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,640 You've said to breathe the air...? Be quiet. ..What's your name? Stephanie Mills. Steph. 237 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,480 My air cylinder was half full. I've used the fixed supply. It's a farce! 238 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,280 The tube doesn't reach the driving seat, so I haven't been able to... 239 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,040 - It's the end of the world and nothing works! - Absolutely! What's your job? 240 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,120 I'm a firefighter. And your major incident training's done? Course! 241 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:39,720 Stephanie, the van. You're thinking if the cab's intact, what's in it? 242 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:45,760 Yeah. Anything that can help us find out who did this. It's part of my job, isn't it? 243 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,600 Investigate the causes of the incident. You're the only one who can. 244 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,640 Who are you? I'm the Emergency Executive Officer at Thames House. 245 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:03,400 MI5?! James Bond behind a desk? Getting others to do the dirty work? That's me. 246 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,600 See you, then. 247 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,200 You've just asked someone to go to their death. Yeah. 248 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,720 Let me know when she gets back. 249 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:42,880 (Ooh!) 250 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:50,360 Can the database help us at all with this gas? Not really, it's available all over the place. 251 00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:54,520 There are a lot of old Soviet stocks on the market. 252 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,240 - What's going on?! - What's happening? 253 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,560 All right, don't panic! There are more hand lamps. 254 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,360 She's back! 255 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,920 Stephanie? 256 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,400 They're dead. They're lying about dead. 257 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,280 Did you see the vehicle that exploded? It was white, I think. 258 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,800 The top and one side was blown out, 259 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,800 but it had a sign on it - planets - and said Pluto Removals. Oh, heaven! 260 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,920 Thanks, Stephanie. Put the rest of your suit back on now, please. 261 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,840 I don't think there's any point. Of course there is. 262 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,440 The House of Commons is outside. If they're all dead, I can go in for a drink. 263 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,800 They're all drunks in there, so there are lots of bars! Put your mask back on, Stephanie. 264 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,240 What's your name? 265 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,480 Tom. 266 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,320 Want to come and have a drink with me, Tom? No. 267 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,800 Scary place the House of Commons, do you think? I think it is today. 268 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:24,520 Now, you protect yourself as best you can. Be professional. Like you? Sending me out to breathe VX?! 269 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,280 Do your best for people. 270 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,320 We will. 271 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,720 I'm off for that drink. 272 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,320 I'll raise a glass to say good luck, Tom. 273 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,000 It was in the loony file. 274 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,360 It showed up on the weekly Level A routine Special Branch trawl of websites. 275 00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:03,400 We mentioned it in the weekly report, to keep the numbers up. 276 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,280 But then, it struck me. Do you see? Do I see what? 277 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:13,840 The group signed itself Patmos - the Greek Island where St John wrote Revelation. 278 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:20,080 The book of the end of the world. What threat did they make? To bomb ten British cities. 279 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,640 London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, 280 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,480 Bath, Coventry, Manchester, Newcastle. 281 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,520 It's the usual survivalist fantasy - 282 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,960 destroy the cities, the pure in heart will survive in the hills. Did they mention gas? Oh, yes. 283 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,400 Here's the text. 284 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,480 "The British Whore's Last Breath." 285 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,080 It's real, isn't it? 286 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,320 After all the warnings about an attack on Britain, it's happened. 287 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,920 We knew it was coming. The Government knew it was! 288 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:10,560 - Smallpox injections, regional disaster centres set up. - All too bloody late! 289 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,400 The moment it happened, I didn't believe it. 290 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,840 I've bypassed the system, got into the London Transport cameras. 291 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:25,680 It's a bit...unstable. The link could go at any time. 292 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,480 ZOE: That's the Embankment! I had coffee there four hours ago. 293 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,560 - The signal's coming and going. - We could know people out there. 294 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:40,800 - We must contact our families. - I didn't say, but it's my little girl. She's in Guy's Hospital. 295 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,400 Let's see if it's been affected. No. 296 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,480 Don't you understand? Her daughter's out there! 297 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,320 - My dad lives in Battersea. Can't I just see...? - Let us reach our families! 298 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:58,120 Maybe it doesn't matter. We may as well just walk out. Get home before the VX affects us. 299 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:04,160 We should be with our loved ones. Even if we only...have a cat. No! We don't discuss this again. 300 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,840 It was a normal Friday morning, then suddenly it wasn't. Danny?! 301 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,880 What about your family? My mum's away singing, in Edinburgh. I didn't know she was a singer. 302 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,400 Yeah, gospel choir. Your folks in Scotland? Yeah, Morningside. 303 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,160 The posh bit of Edinburgh. Danny! 304 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:32,800 Everyone, focus! Comments! ..Ruth? We know the security risk to the country and it couldn't be worse. 305 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,520 - We know who did it. - How do we get them? We're stuck here! 306 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,400 We need communications. What's our status? 307 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,880 Something Dot pulled or turned on. Like? 308 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,520 All phone lines are out and the satellite link has gone. So, we can't...? 309 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,640 Can't contact anyone by email or the net. 310 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:58,280 I could go down to the control room. It'll be locked down. And anyway, no-one leaves the Grid. 311 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,800 - What's the matter with Harry? - How d'you mean? - He's so distant. 312 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:08,600 What comms do we have left? The cable link, but it's dodgy. Keep working at it. 313 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,080 We need to move to an ops room that works. 314 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:18,240 - And how would we do that? - Wait another hour? Take a chance that the gas has dispersed. Ruth? 315 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,160 That would be too dangerous. Right... 316 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,200 So we keep working. First thing - brief Paul Dunbarton. 317 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,760 So this is real? Of course it's real. 318 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,200 I'm sorry, I... Quinn, what's the matter? 319 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:46,040 I thought this was an EERIE exercise. Well, step down - make someone else Em-Ex Officer. 320 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Nail on the head. 321 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,680 There's a serious threat to cities throughout the country. 322 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:58,880 The group are called Patmos. Their weapon is a nerve agent, VX gas. We need to contact Turnstile... Tom... 323 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,080 The Prime Minister's party didn't make it to Turnstile. 324 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,440 We got reports of three helicopters crashing near Chipping Norton. 325 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:15,120 This gas must've got to them. What about the Royal Family? We think they may be lost too. 326 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:21,680 The helicopter left London to pick them up and take them to Windsor. The pilot must've been infected. 327 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,280 The country's like a body with no head. 328 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:31,560 Did the Government declare a state of emergency? That was gonna happen when the PM got to Turnstile. 329 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:37,800 So, one hasn't been declared? I'm sorry, I... Paul...? Paul, what's the matter? 330 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,320 Paul? I think I'll take a walk in St James's. 331 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,560 No. Don't do that. He's infected and he knows it. 332 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:51,840 Other cities are in danger. We need a decision about whether a state of emergency has been declared. Bye. 333 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,640 Paul...! 334 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,160 So, what the hell do we do now? 335 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,320 We must contact the other cities. 336 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,520 Malcolm? The cable link runs to the capital cities - Cardiff, Edinburgh. OK, do what you can. 337 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,320 That's pathetic. You two... 338 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,720 Get hold of any food - anything. Divide it up into rations. 339 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,400 I don't think lunch is our immediate problem, do you? 340 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,640 I'd have thought that the PM being presumed dead 341 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,880 and this secret service being absolutely incapable... Just collect what we have to eat! 342 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,280 Just do it, Mark. 343 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:53,520 I usually bring in a salad, but I didn't have time to make it this morning. Healthy girl. 344 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,160 I can't understand. If these all come from a computer... 345 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,000 So, we are half a mile from the point of explosion. Ground zero. 346 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,200 Has this gas been used before? No. Except for the Sarin on the Tokyo subway, 347 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,400 but Sarin's a much weaker member of the same family. 348 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:18,440 If it has reached us at Thames House, how wide is it spreading? Well, the footprint would... 349 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,960 We are here. So, if we project at least another... 350 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:31,000 20 miles beyond us? The wind's from the northwest today. I always listen to the forecast...for the garden. 351 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,920 So at a conservative estimate, the affected area will be at least... 352 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,640 Oh, hell! 353 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,040 It could be much bigger. 354 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,680 A VX canister of say 10kg in a liquid state under pressure, 355 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,000 exploded properly so it converts into a gas state, 356 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,400 would be as effective as the atom bomb on Hiroshima. Killing how many? 357 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:01,720 I'd have thought, during this first hour, nigh on a million have been infected. A million? 358 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,120 How far could the wind blow it? By the end of the day, 359 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,520 three-quarters of the southeast of England? 360 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,920 How are things unravelling? The PM and the Cabinet died before they reached Turnstile. 361 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,560 We think the Royal Family could be lost too. Heroic times. 362 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:29,600 Harry? Now that the disaster we have anticipated for so long is with us, what's your strategy? 363 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,240 Until we hear to the contrary, we have to be the command centre. 364 00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:39,760 In effect, you'll be taking over the Government. How very Oliver Cromwell of you. 365 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,440 You may need this. 366 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,760 Is anyone out there feeling unwell? 367 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,120 No. 368 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,400 I went to the loo, before you closed it. 369 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,440 I won't ask who else did. Morale may not take it. 370 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,640 Right. 371 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:27,360 Ruth, Danny, Zoe, speed-read this. I wanna know chains of command when Turnstile fails. Fast as you can. 372 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:38,720 Sorry, Tom, we can't get anything. We have got to talk to the other cities. 373 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:51,280 We have to ration the water in the cooler - it's going down fast. Then do it. 374 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,800 She'll be somewhere safe. 375 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,400 I mean, whoever it is...will be. 376 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,120 Are you all right? 377 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:09,520 It's weird - you never hear the traffic from in here. But now, you really can't hear it. 378 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:16,560 Yeah. I said I'd come on the barge with you and Colin, but the canals will have VX in them now. 379 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,800 According to Ruth's database, it could be for years. 380 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,520 I only said I'd go on the barge cos of you. 381 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,760 Was that OK? 382 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,400 Yeah. 383 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,200 Yeah, it's very OK. 384 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,360 I'd better... Yeah. 385 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:45,000 So, who, at this moment, is running the country? No-one. It's a mess. 386 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,040 There should be regional Government Disaster Centres, 387 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:55,120 but they're in the planning stage. There's no obvious chain of command. It's a chaos of diagrams. 388 00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:00,680 There's one for moving the PM's car in a nuclear attack. It's the headless chicken scenario. 389 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:06,720 No-one at the top to give orders. Have you found out how you declare martial law? Tom! In here! 390 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,200 We just got this. Edinburgh section. 391 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:19,360 Who am I speaking to? John MacLeish, Em-Ex Officer. You are? Tom Quinn, Em-Ex Thames House. 392 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:25,080 We can't contact Downing St, Turnstile or any of the London emergency services. 393 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,960 BBC Radio has gone off the air. There's panic. What can you tell us? 394 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,480 There is a major threat to Edinburgh and other cities. 395 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:40,920 Evacuate the city centre. How am I to expedite that? Set up a Major Incident Control Room - 396 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:47,440 co-ordinate emergency services and the Army. Arrest any suspects belonging to a group called Patmos. 397 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,080 On what authority? Under the 2001 Anti-Terrorism and Crime Act - 398 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:57,880 article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights is suspended. 399 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:04,760 A state of emergency can only be declared by the government of the day. A barrack-room lawyer. 400 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:10,800 The government of the day no longer exists. We must wait for instructions from some authority, 401 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,600 or else we will be descending into anarchy. We'll get back to you. 402 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:23,560 Edinburgh may be attacked at any time. I need you to agree. If it's between anarchy or death - anarchy. 403 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,280 Declaring a state of emergency is treason. 404 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,760 Who's the treason against? 405 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:35,960 - My mum's in Edinburgh. Do it. - We weren't allowed to let personal life influence decisions. 406 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:42,160 What matters is that people believe us when the orders are given. Yes. Are we for this? Absolutely not. 407 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:48,520 - You're fiddling while Rome burns. - Yes, the Emperor Nero! Your Em-Ex is in the grip of a power fantasy! 408 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,320 - I don't think so. - Dumb loyalty is not needed! 409 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:59,640 - Loyalty will get us through this! - No, clear thinking! Taking over the Government ain't clear thought! 410 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,560 Well, what do you say? 411 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,240 I say fiddle on! 412 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,600 What else is there to do? 413 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,480 So, we have a state of emergency. 414 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,160 Yes. 415 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,240 No way. I outrank you. I beg your pardon? 416 00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:45,280 I'm Em-Ex London, you're Em-Ex Edinburgh. London outranks Scotland. I don't accept that. 417 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,600 Listen, you stone-headed bastard! Declare the emergency, evacuate the city. 418 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,480 On your head be it. 419 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,600 Thank God. 420 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,240 How's it looking? About two cups each. Is that all? 'Fraid so. 421 00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:19,640 OK. Monitor what people drink. Quarter of a cup each. This saving the world? Every little bit. 422 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,560 Tom! 423 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,560 ..Things are true Whatsoever, things are honest 424 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,400 Whatsoever things are just Whatsoever things are pure 425 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,800 Whatsoever things are lovely Whatsoever things are of good report. 426 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,480 Go back to your station and stay there. 427 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,560 Go. 428 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,200 I didn't think it was the real thing. 429 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,360 Forgive me... 430 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:10,200 It's all right. There's an antidote. If there's a way of getting it, I will. 431 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,880 That's not possible. 432 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,960 And you know it. 433 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:22,360 I'm so sorry. I'm going to have to quarantine your office. I can't even shake your hand. 434 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,160 You'll need the keys... 435 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,120 ..to lock me in. 436 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,920 So, it's in here? Yeah. 437 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,400 Shall we tell? 438 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,280 No. 439 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:31,320 You mean, we just leave Harry? What else can we do? It's a terrible decision, Mr Tom Quinn. Is it? 440 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,840 I can't tell any more. 441 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:41,960 They look at you and their eyes are either full of dumb hate or dumb trust. 442 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:50,360 What am I gonna do? Are you saying, on the head of the King, let all the sorrows lie? I'm Em-Ex Officer 443 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,880 and I don't know what to do. 444 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:59,520 I don't! Don't go all moody and sensitive. That's for us - we're the troops. You're the leader! 445 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,560 And leaders don't have feelings, as you well know. 446 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,800 If you're trying to comfort me, it's a strange way of doing it. Tom! 447 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:21,640 There's been an explosion in the Morningside area of the city. Oh, no... 448 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:29,400 Isolate yourselves at once. Get to the Disaster Centre bunker. They haven't finished building it! 449 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,360 Quarantine the city. Just do it! How am I supposed to...? MacLeish? 450 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,280 The cable link is dead. 451 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:56,600 Eight hours since we heard anything at all. Saturday morning - I should be shopping. 452 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,320 What about Harry? We leave him alone. 453 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:06,280 Shouldn't we give him some water or something? We daren't break his quarantine. 454 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,880 No... 455 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,920 How you doing? Nothing's live. Look, do something. How d'you mean? 456 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:32,960 Invent something to talk to the outside world. It doesn't matter what. For morale? Ssh. Do it now. 457 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,480 Right... 458 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,440 What do you think they're up to? 459 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,160 Well, we'll know now. 460 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:51,440 - We demand to talk to Harry. - We've got to leave. - Your superior will take control. 461 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,240 Harry's sick. 462 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,440 He has the VX symptoms. 463 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,360 You mean, he's in there now...dying? 464 00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:10,760 Oh, no. Can't we help him? 465 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:16,400 How contagious is it? If you really want to know, it takes a few molecules through the skin. 466 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:23,520 - Look, I saw Harry go to the loo. - Yeah, it may not be that. The breach could be Tom's fault. 467 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:30,080 - How do you work that out? - He let Danny in through the pods. He could be contaminated. 468 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,960 What? 469 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:38,240 Yeah, Tom and Malcolm forced the pod open after the alarm had sounded cos you were so bloody typically late! 470 00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:43,080 WE get it cos big-shot, high-flyer Danny couldn't get to work on time! 471 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,400 - All right, little man. - Yeah, have some, then! 472 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,640 No... 473 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,480 Apologise. 474 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,760 I said apologise! 475 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,880 OK... 476 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:23,560 You're killing us all! What happens when someone else falls sick? They join Harry. 477 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,600 But... We quarantine each other. 478 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:30,720 Until there's none of us left! What do you suggest? We make a run for it. 479 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:34,080 Get out of London and regroup! Where? 480 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,800 - The Ashford Safe House. - We must do this! We can't die in here! 481 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,040 Ashford's a command centre itself. All the links... Ashford's south. 482 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:51,640 With the westerly wind, it won't escape the gas footprint. We stay here as a control centre. Madness! 483 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:57,280 We've got no link to the outside world. We'll get one. There may be a line that works. We'll find it. 484 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:03,080 We've got half the ceiling off already! Then we'll get the rest of it down. All of us! 485 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:14,080 Anyway, Malcolm's got an idea, haven't you? Yeah. Colin and I are working on a communications device. 486 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,280 - What kind of device? - It's a... 487 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:23,120 It's a robot... to contact the satellite network... from the outside. 488 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,880 Zoe. 489 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:42,000 You're weapons-qualified. So? There are firearms kept at the back of the forgery suite. 490 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:48,440 These are people we work with. We can't point guns at them. No-one must leave the Grid. 491 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:54,520 Tom, only the security unit can use arms. It is forbidden to distribute weapons to any other personnel. 492 00:47:54,520 --> 00:48:00,560 We're the only ones who can say what is or isn't forbidden. Is this a fascist state? I don't care! 493 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:06,360 I'm not gonna let this group fall apart. You'll shoot them before they do? 494 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:13,040 Your advanced weapons training gives you some seniority. Give me authority to break out the weapons. 495 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,040 OK. 496 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,560 Hide it. 497 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,400 Very good... 498 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,720 Very good indeed. 499 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,160 So... 500 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,120 How's this thing supposed to work? 501 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:31,960 It sends and receives satellite signals. We cannibalised WAP chips from mobile phones. 502 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:37,480 The wheels are from VHS machines. There's a radio and a speaker to attract attention as it moves about. 503 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,320 It's powered by batteries from our laptop. 504 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,920 Moves about where? Outside. 505 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:48,960 We'll communicate with it by a 13-amp wire, taken out of the wall. So how are we gonna get it outside? 506 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,440 Well... that's an executive decision. 507 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,960 Absolute rubbish. 508 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:19,840 Ruth. I'm an analyst, but there's nothing to analyse. Just scissors to stab in the wall. 509 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:25,880 When the power comes back, you'll be important. I never realised, I'm just my job. Nothing else. 510 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:32,000 Without it, I go to pieces. No, Ruth, you're much more important than that. No, I'm happy with that. 511 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:38,440 We can't do much more here, Tom. We've hit just about every possible power source there is. OK. 512 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,080 How's the food situation? 513 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:47,680 A packet of crackers and half a banana that's going off. Water? Half a litre left. OK. 514 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,600 Don't let people know we're so low. 515 00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,200 Hey. Shouldn't we see how Harry is? We have to keep him isolated. But that's cruel! 516 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:05,520 Yes. Look, Tom, I really think we should just... Sam... 517 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,560 What are you doing? Going to the Ashford station. We all should. 518 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:22,600 - Those suits are useless. - They may give us an edge. Ashford has a full communications array. 519 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:28,360 We can get a grip on the situation from there. They have a point. We are going to Ashford. 520 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:33,000 I don't think you are. Stay where you are. Kent! Clean air! Listen! 521 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:38,560 The traffic is backed-up for miles. How you gonna reach Ashford? On foot, breathing contaminated air? 522 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,120 But the contamination is in here! Your boss is almost certainly dead! 523 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:48,320 As long as we have healthy officers, we stay. We're building a communications device... 524 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:55,320 That's Mickey Mouse morale building and you know it! Have we got to die in here? If that is our fate. Fate? 525 00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:01,640 You're losing it, my friend! Zoe, Danny, your boss here is losing it! 526 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,080 Let's vote on it.

Uh, no, not really. 553 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,080 So you were prepared to shoot me? Yes. 554 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,600 Does that get me good marks or bad? 555 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:11,000 Well, we'll...have to assess that. 556 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:16,360 I bet you will. There's another bottle of champagne in my office. 557 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:32,960 Where the hell were you yesterday? 'I was held up.' Couldn't you have phoned? 558 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,760 Um...not from where I was. 559 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,200 'I sat in that restaurant and they looked!' 560 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,680 I had a big sign over my head - "jilted!" 561 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:50,640 I had a big sign over my head, too. What was that? End of the world, end of the world, end of the world. 562 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,520 Tom? Tom, are you there? 563 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,720 What did you have?
