The sun is not going to explode!

There are no fireballs or meteorites.

It is an invisible geomagnetic storm
that could disrupt things.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Stage one of a bad solar storm
would knock out satellites,

potentially destabilising all transport
and navigation systems.

Our daughter is in trouble, Robert!

It's Georgia. They can't bring her
round, she's not breathing!

I just don't have time for this.

Anna?

His sister was in Visegrad, not
a good place to be a young woman.

He went to look for her,
and he just vanished.

Jesus Christ!

Air traffic control
are reporting a mayday

from a diverted flight
from Malaga to Oslo.

They think he's running on fumes.

I'm afraid the news is not
what we were hoping for.

We can expect a massive geomagnetic
storm surge in the coming hours.

This is now a national emergency

and COBRA will remain active
till its conclusion.

(ON PA) This is your
Local Resilience Forum.

We are working to restore power,
but it may be some time.

Emergency services
are operating at full capacity,

so only dial 999 if it's a genuine...

Unofficial reports have confirmed

that four super-transformers
on the electricity grid

have been burned out.

Major cities, including London,
are also in chaos...

The blackout has claimed
its first casualties,

with two people killed in a collision
course by faulty traffic lights...

The government has invoked
the 2004 Civil Contingencies Act,

which allows it to limit
freedom of movement...

Authorities say some of the blackouts

are more serious than others.

Four regions, North Wales,
East Scotland,

Cornwall and Northumberland,

have suffered major damage
to their infrastructure.

- You OK, Fraser?
- Ah, yeah.

Just trying to get through
to my dad's care home,

but their phone system must be wireless.

He called me just before
the mobile masts went down.

- Is he all right?
- He's fine.

He's just convinced
there's a plot against his dog.

Good evening, everyone.

Now, I have spoken to Her Majesty

and informed her of the measures
I intend to take

under the emergency legislation.

These will include travel restrictions

to and from the worst-affected areas,

which I will use the army to enforce.

I'm also enabling special tribunals
in the case of civil disorder.

MI5 are monitoring the situation.

I'll give the Home Secretary
a security briefing

right after this COBRA.

And there's no need
to adjust the terror threat yet.

We've drawn-up a contingency plan
which you should all have.

Fraser?

OK.

Right now, our biggest problem

is that emergency staff
cannot get to their places of work

and all the navigational systems
are out.

The map shows the worst-affected areas,

colour-coded according to severity.

Why are the big conurbations
not showing,

London, Birmingham, Manchester?

Well, unlike the coastal nodes,

we're hoping that most of
the major cities will be fixed

within the next 48 hours.

As for the rest...

How long does
transformer replacement take?

It depends, but in some cases
it can be a question of weeks.

Weeks?!

And those are the lucky ones.

Four badly-hit areas,
but only three spare transformers.

- Then...?
- Tough choices.

One area is gonna be left behind.

If anybody's gonna be
Puerto Rico here, it's Wales, right?

(LIGHT CHUCKLING)

I might remind the Home Secretary

that I'm very proud
of my Welsh ancestry.

I apologise to the Head of Intelligence

for my poor attempt at gallows
humour at a difficult moment.

Well, there's no doubt
of its difficulty.

It could be months before we're
back on our feet, and even then...

...the economic costs are incalculable.

But, we can get through this
if we remain strong

and stay together.

COLLIER: My biggest concern right now
is keeping the hospital running

so we can care for
the plane crash injuries.

OK. Well, we've got a helicopter coming

with blood and medical supplies.

- We feel completely abandoned here.
- You're not.

I'm coming with the supplies,

and I'll see what it's like
on the ground there.

I'll report directly back to the PM.

OK.

Thanks, Fraser.

What's it like everywhere else?

Well, in spite of the fears
of social meltdown,

it sounds like most people
are out on the streets

- having a party and getting pissed.
- (CHUCKLES)

This proud island race.

Oh, give it a few hours, some sore heads

and the mood's likely
to change very quickly.

We've also got trouble brewing

at the new Hadley Brook
Immigration Removal Centre.

Basically, everything's going wrong
here and I haven't got the staff,

but we'll find a way.

Hang on in there, Stuart,
and keep me posted.

Will do.

Ellie's friend... is in a coma

after they took drugs together.

There will inevitably be questions
about the provenance of the drugs.

- You need to be very careful.
- I know.

Any suggestion that you were in any...

I'm not stupid, Anna.

Now, do you have transport home?

Uh... I'm staying at Francine's,
it's just over the river.

I think she's gonna say yes.

Great!

We can use Archie's rage
to reconnect Cornwall.

Robert.

Is Peter going to...

Is Peter going to speak to Ellie?

I haven't fully signed off
on Francine yet, by the way.

Just remember,
you can't be seen to be...

Didn't you notice I changed the subject?

I did, that's why I changed it back.
Peter's awfully smart,

but it's a moot point
whether he knows the difference

between getting his ducks in a row

- and perverting the course of justice.
- I heard you, Anna.

Now, please, get out of here...

..before I get cross with you.

I'll be back in four hours.

Make it six.

Tired people make bad decisions.

(HORN BLASTS)

(ENGINE STOPS)

(LOCKS ENGAGE)

_

- Chief Constable Collier.
- Come through.

Thank you.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Over a third of our officers
failed to turn up for their shifts.

The transport system's in total chaos.

You're gonna have to bus in extra staff.

All our resources are being directed,

dealing with causalities
from the plane crash

and trying to keep
the hospital functioning.

Sir, they're piling up mattresses.

You know what they're gonna do,
set fire to them,

use them to start a riot.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

We can't control this.

This place is a bomb waiting to go off.

I need to get back.

- So, you're just gonna leave us?
- You're not the only emergency, Hugh.

This is an absolute clusterfuck!

I hear you and I'm gonna talk to London

and try and explain
what we're facing here, OK?

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

WOMAN: Hey, come join us.

Please come over.

- Come on!
- (BOTTLES CLINK)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(HORN BLARES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Look, mate, you should keep your
distance, look where you're going.

(HORN BLASTS)

So, what type of drugs
were involved, exactly?

OK, so, coke, but we only had
a couple of grams between us.

Oh, portion control, that's good (!)

And then we had the tea
to take the edge off.

And that was made from
the fentanyl patches.

And then I think Georgia
took a couple of benzos,

- but they were hers.
- Just to stop you there, Ellie.

I don't think it's sensible
to start dividing responsibility...

- Well, the police are gonna ask her...
- Sure. Sure.

So, we have a scenario where Georgia
supplied some of the drugs...

No, I didn't say she supplied,
they were hers.

And I suppose the point
is whether anything...

The coke, the fentanyl,

all the Class A stuff,

who got hold of that?

Right.

So, what I'm saying here is that we
need to manage this very carefully,

thinking about
the long-term repercussions...

On what? On Georgia, or on Dad's career?

- On everything.
- There is no long-term for Georgia.

She's bloody braindead now,

- thanks to your utter stupidity.
- Robert...

All right, getting back to
the practicalities of an inquiry...

I cannot take part in this conversation.

I think you're absolutely
right, Prime Minister.

You've had a lot on your plate.

WSo, why don't you leave this to
Rachel and me to discuss with Ellie?

You're OK to leave it with us
to sort out what's best for Ellie?

I have to make a final decision
on those transformers.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You have to say that Georgia
provided all the drugs.

No way.

- It's not going to affect her...
- It will affect her family,

and it's not true.

Do you want to spend
three years in prison?

Your dad's right about one thing,
her life is effectively over.

You do still have some control
over yours, though.

All of these copied.

So uh... what have we decided?

- Uh... We haven't.
- Then, we must.

So, we come back to the same issue,

three transformers for four regions.

All four crisis zones are gonna suffer,

but one of them is gonna be
in a whole world of pain.

And in terms of sourcing?

Most Europeans countries
have replacements.

We do have one on order
from KPG in Germany.

How long?

Hopefully within a week.

(CHUCKLES) In an ideal world, of course.

Do we have a loser yet?

I honestly think Scotland is a gimme,

- and we can toss a coin for the...
- Toss a coin!

It's a figure of speech, Robert!

I'm just saying that
some people's lives will change,

- whatever we decide.
- What do you think, Fraser?

- I agree on Scotland.
- Hm.

The plane crash factor does make
the transportation issue even harder

with the A1 closed, so...

Northumberland can wait.

Get the rest on the road with
military protection immediately.

You're not really one of us,
are you, Fraser?

- No, I'm a civil servant.
- Uh-huh.

But in your heart, you believe...

In public service.

But if it's any consolation,
my dad's one of your biggest fans

and thinks you should
be leading the country.

Ah!

He's a mean-spirited old bastard
and a borderline racist

- with early-stage dementia.
- (LAUGHS)

Good man!

If only there were more like him,
I'd be choosing my cabinet.

Keep it up, Fraser.

Even if you do wear a secret red rose,

you're doing an excellent job.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

No, the emergency generator
isn't working either.

That's what he's trying to fix.

OK. Yeah.

Yeah. He's downstairs now.

Hang on.

- I'm looking for Edin Tosumbegovic.
- Oh, uh...

Are you his partner? He said...

Room 505.

I would give you a key-card,
but... the doors are not working.

Stairs are over there.

Thank you.

Fraser, got a message
from your father's care home,

they'd like you to call urgently.

I've been trying to get in touch.
How did they call?

Landline.

Must have got hold of
a non-cordless phone.

Thanks.

(SIGHS)

Hiya.

Hi.

Yeah, it's uh... Fraser Walker.

Sorry about that.
The phones keep going down.

Th-thanks... Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah. Thank you.

(RECEIVER CLICKS)

Anna?

(CLICK)

I have an hour.

I never found Emina.

She was seen at the Vilina Vlas Hotel.

That's where the Chetniks...

I know what happened to women there.

Most of them were barely women.

Now, it's a...

...boutique hotel.

(SCOFFS)

Nobody cares
what once happened in those rooms.

You think she was killed there?

There's a witness who says she was
taken to the bridge over the Drina.

Executed there and...

..thrown into the river.

Why didn't you contact me again?

I went out of my mind.
Your parents would tell me nothing!

I was captured just outside Visegrad.

They sent me to a camp.

Afterwards?

It took me a little time
to... recover from that experience.

When I was better, I went home,
to take care of my parents.

And met somebody else.

It wasn't as easy as that.

My parents had lost their daughter
in... terrible circumstances.

So, you married a Muslim girl
to please them?

I couldn't let them lose a son, as well.

I couldn't break their hearts
all over again.

So, you broke mine.

It wasn't a...

...particularly happy marriage.

I don't think I made her very happy.

And where is she now?

She died a little over a year ago.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

My God, look, look at the sky.

Aurora borealis.

In London!

It's the solar storm.

The number of passengers confirmed dead

from the Amara Airlines Flight LM36
from Malaga has risen to 42.

Due to ongoing transport problems

affecting the A1 following that crash,

many victims' families
still can't reach their loved ones.

Use the RAF to bring
the victims' families up.

...hospital near Hexham.

Authorities are still struggling
to put a figure

on the number of fatalities
caused by the nationwide blackout,

but current estimates put the number
between 10 and 15.

Excuse me, sir.

While air crash investigators are yet
to publish their official verdict,

the Amara Airlines crash
is believed to have been caused

by the solar storm's effect on avionics.

I just got word from the hospital.

A little while ago,

Georgia's parents agreed to
switch off her life-support machine.

- She's died.
- (GASPS)

Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry.

(SOBS)

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Listen, El...

...I'm your father, darling,
and I love you very much.

I know you would never
intentionally hurt anyone.

Georgia made her own choices.

Her poor parents.

(SNIFFLES)

It's a terrible decision
for any parent to make.

But it's time for you to move on now.

This will pass, OK?

This will pass.

(SIRENS WAIL)

So, she died.

They switched off
the life-support machine.

Takes some of the pressure off their
emergency generators, I suppose.

Even by your standards,
that is remarkably callous.

I'm not terribly sympathetic
to posh druggies.

Normally, there would be an absolute
shitstorm on the front pages.

Yeah. Not a bad time
to bury a potential scandal.

He must be hoping
it will all just go away.

Hm!

What is your interest here?

I am a Russian mole,

seeking to engineer
the prime minister's resignation

and install puppets
at every level of government.

-But really?
- (CHUCKLES) Oh, really?

I only ever have one interest.

Our national security.

_

(SIREN BLARES)

Thank you.

Stuart.

It is complete chaos here!

Please tell me it isn't going on
for much longer.

I need to get back
for the return flight to London.

(SHOUTING AND CLAMOURING)

Do not abuse the staff!

We are trying to deal with
an extremely difficult situation.

We will attempt to speak to you
as soon as we possibly can.

Please, try and stay calm.

- You see what I'm talking about?
- Yeah.

The situation is getting worse here,
minute-by-minute.

Sorry, just a second.

(SHOUTING AND CLAMOURING CONTINUES)

Do not try and charge devices
from our power supply.

We are operating
with emergency generators.

Right, get back to them

and tell them we'll get over there
as soon as we can.

There's trouble
at the new detention centre.

I have to get down there
and take a look.

I'll ride shotgun if you can
get me back here in an hour.

OK, let's go. This way.

The end of the world!

I've not been unfaithful
to my husband in all our marriage.

It wasn't...

I didn't...

...plan this.

You didn't purposefully
arrange the Northern Lights?

- Oh, yeah, that, I did, but...
- (CHUCKLES)

No.

Has he been unfaithful to you?

Probably.

Don't ask.

It's not a trade-off.

Do you feel bad?

Not now.

Are you happy together?

- Happy?
- Mm.

I'm gonna go check the basement,
it's taking too long.

OK.

- How's it going?
- Yeah, I think we're OK.

(GENERATOR WHIRS)

What if someone recognises me?

Live a little dangerously,
hide behind me.

- (CHUCKLES)
- (ELECTRICITY BUZZES)

- (GENERATOR STOPS)
- For God's sake!

(RATTLING)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

No! Help! Help!

Help!

(WAILS)

(CHUCKLES)

Help me!

Help!

Edin.

Help!

Help! Help! Somebody help!

- Help!
- God. What happened?

The generator,
it just... it just exploded.

- Hey, easy.
- (PANTING)

- It just exploded.
- God, your hand.

- We need to get water on these.
- I have to clear out the hotel.

I have to clear the hotel.

No! I have to clear the hotel.

Go!

Water, Anna!

He's dead.

He's dead.

Quick, we need to go.

Get out.

So, how will they get
the replacement transformer

through the site of the plane crash?

There is no replacement transformer.

- Not yet, anyway.
- Wait.

It could take weeks to get installed,

but there isn't even one on the way?

There are only three spares
for four regions,

- we had to make some tough decisions.
- Fuck me!

- They're exploring all the options.
- You better bring guns next time,

because this is one night without power,

what's it gonna be like in a week?

This doesn't look good.

Some of the prisoners
must have got out and nicked a car.

I'll get out.

Be quick, and careful!

Hurry up!

Right, go.

Who are these people?

They look like asylum seekers.

I'm not so bothered about them,

but there's also high-security
criminals awaiting deportation.

And if any of those bastards get out,

it's a completely different story.

I have to go in and see
if they're all right in there.

- What do you want to do?
- I'm coming with you, of course.

Are you sure?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Fire! Fire!

- Fire!
- Get out of the hotel!

- Get out!
- Get out!

- Get out of the building! Fire!
- Fire!

Is anyone in there?

- Get out of the hotel, there's a fire.
- Fire!

Fire!

Come on. Come on, this way.

(SCREAMING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING AND CLAMOURING)

Hugh?

Hugh! Where is everyone?

They all ran away
when the office was stormed.

It was chaos.

The prisoners in the main blocks
all broke out.

I've been stabbed.

Don't worry.

- We'll get you to the hospital.
- (GLASS SHATTERS)

Fraser, give me a hand.

(SHOUTING AND CLAMOURING CONTINUES)

Shit!

The high-security
prisoners are getting out.

Christ!

Fraser, come on!

We have to get him out of here,
or they'll finish him off!

Hey! Hey!

Fire's everywhere! Come on, this way!

MAN: Help! Help!

Get out of here. Go!

I can't open the door!

Hey!

(PANTING)

(COUGHS)

(COUGHS)

Come on.

It's this way.

(STRAINS)

(MAN SCREAMS)

MAN: Help!

Get away from the door!

- I am!
- Go to the back of the room!

- Are you away from the door?
- Yes!

Edin?

- Come on!
- Where... Edin?!

Come on!

- Edin!
- Come on!

- We have to leave!
- Edin!

We can't stay here.

The smoke is getting thicker!

Come on, come on.

Go, go, go!

Come on!

Hurry up.

You're all right.

Let's get him in the back.

Oi! Oi!

Get back! Back!

Stay back, mate!
I'm telling you, stay back!

Get back!

Stay back, I'm telling you!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

- Go!
- Quick.

Go!

(GRUNTS)

Go! Go!

Shit!

Right, hold on.

Jesus!

Hit the brakes!

I'm trying!

- Right, hold on!
- Hit the brakes!

(ENGINE REVS)

(TYRES SCREECH)

Come on!

Come on, move!

We need to get out.

(COUGHING)

We need to get out. Come on.

(COUGHING)

(GASPS)

Anna? Anna!

Are you all right?

- Are you OK?
- I can't... I can't breathe.

Take her.

Come on.

(GROANS)

- Are you OK?
- I can't breathe. I can't breathe!

You need to get up. Come on!

Come on.

I've got you. I've got you.

(COUGHS)

Come on! Come on.

- We've gotta... gotta move. Come on!
- (WHIMPERS)

(COUGHS)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Come on!

(SHOUTING CONTINUES)

Help!

- Come to me.
- Help!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Here you are now.

That's it, that's it. I've got you.

Lie on me.

Well, I bet that wasn't covered
on the civil service entrance exams.

(LAUGHS)

That's the last time
anyone calls me a pen pusher!

My dad died tonight.

He was in a care home.

He tried to move when a power cut
hit and fell down the stairs.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I made a nasty joke about him
before he died.

I make nasty jokes about my family
all the time.

It doesn't mean I don't love them.

Well, I gotta get back to London.

Don't forget us, OK?

I promise you I'll do
everything in my power

to help you get through this.

Robert.

Robert.

Robert.

Come to bed.

I can't. Not yet.

I must phone Georgia's parents.

Give them our condolences.

I can't let Ellie face
the possibility of prison, Robert.

I know, I know.

I'm the lawyer, leave it to me
and Peter, we will get through this.

(PHONE VIBRATES)

What is it?

The voltage instability issue
has been rectified.

Power will soon be restored
to the major cities.

But the rest of the country...?

Certain places won't be able to
turn a light on for quite some time.

Pff! Sorry I woke you.

I'm glad it was you.

(DOG WHINES)

Hey.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Hey.

Hey.

(SIRENS WAIL)

If you need me, I'll be over there.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

Oh, come on! Now's not the ti...

- Oh, God, I think he recognised me.
- No.

10-45 to Gold Commander.
Receiving? Over.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Gold Commander receiving.

Some very distressed kids have
just walked in from the university.

- You need to hear this, sir.
- OK, I'm on my way.

I have to go.

Will I see you again?

You said you were going home.

Do you want me to?

(DOOR OPENS)

The police have arrived
to talk to Ellie.

Already?

You'd think they had
better things to do.

Given the circumstances they need to...

I understand
the bloody circumstances, Peter.

You're telling my daughter
it's OK to lie to the police.

With all due respect, I think you
might need to talk to your wife

about that side of things,
Prime Minister.

There is something else.

A situation has developed

at the university next to the Hadley
Brook Immigration Removal Centre.

Reports are very confused,

but it seems a group of the escapees
have got in there

and started to attack the students.

Oh, God.

- Is Anna back yet?
- I'm not sure.

I need Anna for this.

(DOOR OPENS)
