(torch clicks)

(roll-up door whirring)

- Our intelligence says the device

is loaded onto a pallet

ready for transportation by lorry.

- VRM found,

ANPR on the approach to Wandsworth roundabout.

- Pull the lorry over, hold it in position,

we'll move into intercept.

- It's not that simple.

Expo One, the lorry has company.

We suspect that they will have remote control of the device.

I'm concerned that if we approach-

- The lorry'll detonate. (sirens wailing)

The anti-drone ammunition's not gonna get here in time

and we need to intercept the lorry without the drone seeing.

- [Officer 1] Armed police!

- [Officer 2] Armed police!

- [Officer 1] Stop! Hands off the wheel!

(gun firing)

(driver exclaiming)

- Gold Command, Expo Eight.

Target confirmed.

Satnav destination, the Bank of England.

- You must disarm this device before it reaches its target.

- Okay, we've got a large main charge.

No idea on the driver, but there is a business card

with a company name.

- [Morgan] Sir?

- Did you see something?

(door creaks)

Morgan, call this in.

- Sir.

(brooding music)

(bomb beeps)

(explosion booming)

- Contact at 13 Columbia Road.

CTSFOs have lost comms on Bronze Investigation One.

(foot stamping)

(Morgan exclaims)

- They're practically on target.

(bomb whirring)

- Done, done.

(tyres screeching) (brooding music)

(drone rotors whirring)

(anti-drone gun bangs)

(explosion booming)

Another device.

- [Hass] That's south-east.

(explosion booming)

- [Neil] And are you ready for that?

- For dying?

Yeah.

That's the job.

(brooding music)

- Can someone tell me what's going on?

- [Hackett] We have a device destination E15

outside the UK Banking Group headquarters.

- Can we get a visual?

- As well as E2, the London Commodities Exchange.

- And the Bank of England,

so that makes three financial targets.

- Ma'am, we still haven't had anything

from Bronze Investigation One.

Not since Trojan Three reported a contact.

- Just keep trying DCI Batra.

(sirens wailing)

- Gold Command, Expo One.

Gold Command, Expo One, are you receiving me? Over.

- Expo One, this Gold Command.

So far we have three devices

targeting financial centres across East Central London.

Two detonated, numerous disarmed.

(sirens wailing)

(helicopter rotors whirring)

- [Lana] How many casualties?

- We don't know yet.

- Do we know who's behind it?

- DCI Batra is investigating our main lead,

but he's out of contact.

- Yeah, of course he is.

- What are you thinking?

- I'm thinking if we can get into this,

we can find out where it came from.

(dramatic music)

(officers yelling distantly)

- In here!

- [Officer 1] Armed police!

- [Officer 2] Armed police!

- I'm in here!

(officers yelling indistinctly)

- Central London's at a standstill, panic will spread fast.

I need to brief Cobra and the JIC. What do we know?

- Emergency teams are getting to

the two destination sites now.

- What about the lorry driver? They questioned him yet?

- DC Brenton's waiting for medics

to sign him off for interview.

- Tell the medics, if he's conscious, they sign him off.

- Ma'am.

- I'll be joining DC Brenton when he interviews the driver.

- Yeah, of course.

In the meantime, perhaps you could start preparing

the initial report for Cobra.

- Would you like me to get one of your other officers?

- Andy, you may be MI5, but today you're one of us.

We're all in this together.

- Ma'am.

(brooding music)

- Cheers.

- Gold Command, Expo One.

We've got the SD card from the drone.

- We can decrypt the flight logs from here, Expo One.

- Expo One Bravo to Gold Command.

I'm getting them sent over.

- [Croxley] Danny, switch to channel three, please.

- [Trojan Three] Confirmed.

We're currently on the fourth floor.

Say again, fourth floor of the neighbouring building.

With Bronze Investigation Two now.

Contact IED.

Possible sensor trigger

that was activated with the opening of an office door.

- What about Batra?

- This is Trojan One.

What is the status of Bronze Investigation One?

- [Trojan Three] Bronze investigation one

was the closest to the device.

He has not survived the blast.

(brooding music continues)

Bronze Investigation Two,

currently receiving medical attention.

(sirens wailing)

- Copy.

- He's dead?

How...

- Wren, now's not the time to grieve.

The city's under attack. We need to do our jobs.

So let's get this flight data over.

Danny, come on.

(brooding ambient music)

- What's his family situation?

- Ma'am.

- DCI Batra.

- Single, I think.

Him and DS Morgan are good friends.

I don't really know him that well.

- [Danny] Expo One Bravo to Gold Command,

sending the files through now, over.

- I'll need his next of kin.

- [Hackett] Ma'am. - Hang on.

Yeah, send it through.

As soon as we have it, get the flight data to analysis.

(brooding ambient music continues)

Right, listen in.

We've trained for this.

Our job now is to ensure our response is coordinated

and that no more lives are lost.

Concentrate on the task before you, remain focused,

and we'll bring whoever's behind this to justice.

(brooding music)

(Morgan exclaiming)

- We need to get you to a hospital to be stitched up.

- Can't you do what you need to do here?

- I mean, I wouldn't advise it. It'd be very painful.

- I need to get back to CTHQ.

Do it.

- Analysis has been able to approximate coordinates

point of origin of the drone's flight path.

I'm putting them up on screen now.

(brooding music)

- [Croxley] Coordinates received, Gold Command.

(sirens wailing)

The drone originated in Langshore on the edge of the basin.

- Do you think that's where they controlled it from?

- That would make sense.

- It'd need to be near the river to track the lorry.

- Yeah, control by the water

would've given the clearest line of sight.

- [Croxley] We've been asked to go and check it out.

- What, just you lot or all of us?

- [Croxley] Just us.

- Gold Command, Expo One.

- [Nia] Go ahead, Expo One.

- Yeah, we need to go to Langshore.

What happened to DCI Batra won't be a one-off.

These people have got explosives to spare.

We don't know what they've got planned.

- Who else have we got in that area?

- Only local units.

- Yeah, I agree, Expo One.

I'm just conscious of the day you've had so far.

- No, we're good.

- [Nia] Yeah, I'm sure you are.

We'll need someone to wait at your location

for bomb data analysis.

- Yeah, I got that.

Gold Command, Expo Eight's on that.

- [Nia] Okay. Expo One, you're free to move with Trojan One.

- Should I uh... - Let's go.

- This is Commander Quentin, operational update at 10:08.

Intelligence acquired from the drone

has revealed a point of origin for its flight path.

- [Lana] You got signal?

- No, but I'm hoping this might send

as soon as things come back online.

- Who you texting, Carla?

- Yeah. Don't want her to worry longer than she needs to.

- Are you okay?

- Four devices in a day and a DCI.

Yeah, this is bad, Wash.

- Yeah, I know.

But look, we've got a massive job on our hands.

We've gotta stay focused on it.

Right.

How are we gonna get there?

London's at a standstill. It's total gridlock.

- Well, where we're going, we don't need roads.

(brooding music)

(water whooshing)

Trojan One to Gold Command,

approaching the drone control search radius now.

- [Nia] Okay. RV with uniform at the west side of the dock.

- Received. Up ahead.

(boat engine vrooming) (water whooshing)

- Expo One, Sergeant Redhead.

- What have we got?

- The coordinates passed to us are for a nearby boat yard.

- Any suspicious activity?

- Well, we haven't been here long.

We weren't gonna get too close without you lot.

- Fair enough. You good?

- Yeah.

- Show us the way. - Right.

- [Croxley] RV with the team at the boatyard.

(seagulls mewing) (brooding ambient music)

- We're heading to the main boat yard now.

- Ain't it supposed to be a working yard?

It looks pretty lifeless to me.

- Yeah, well it's like the distribution centre.

There could be someone here somewhere.

(brooding ambient music continues)

(seagulls mewing)

(brooding ambient music continues)

- Ma'am.

- DS Morgan, what are you doing here?

- I wanted to get back to work immediately.

I'm ready to help.

- [Nia] I heard you were injured.

- It's nothing too serious, ma'am.

- Have you been properly debriefed?

- Not yet, no.

- Okay. I'm gonna need a full incident report

detailing everything that happened.

- Ma'am.

- Something went very badly wrong and I need to know why.

Look, I appreciate your dedication, DS Morgan,

but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

- No, I need to be here.

- You need to be debriefed.

- Okay. I can arrange for that now.

- You also need my permission to be here.

- Please, ma'am.

DCI Batra was my friend.

- Bomb analysis first look report's ready.

(brooding ambient music continues)

- Get your debrief sorted and get back to work.

- Okay.

(Morgan sighs)

(car horns honking)

(sirens wailing)

- Data analyst Reeves.

- You're a sight for sore eyes.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

- I'm okay.

- Good.

What do you reckon?

- Well, I don't know, mate. I haven't looked at it yet.

- You can share the intelligence with me, can't you?

Me?

- Well, we've had some intel on the stolen explosives.

What was likely used in the three devices.

They think it's RDX.

- RDX.

(brooding ambient music)

- RDX.

- Military grade explosives, in all the devices.

- And you're telling me

you still have no leads on who these people are.

- No, ma'am.

- Does it come with the job description, Andy,

that everything you say whiffs of bullshit?

- Ma'am. - This is

the biggest terror attack this country has seen

for nearly two decades.

I've already lost one officer

and I have many more out in the field,

including one who was in active pursuit of these people.

This is not the time for security service red tape.

- You should update your expo team about the explosives.

(brooding ambient music continues)

(brooding ambient music continues)

- We'll have no one opening any doors today.

We'll be using the breaching charges.

Cheers Danny.

- [Nia] Expo One, this is Gold Command.

More intel from the anti-smuggling operation

has been filtering through.

Amongst the findings, there's evidence

that a large amount of RDX has been brought in.

- Oh, shit.

- [Nia] Proceed with extreme caution.

- That's the understatement of the century.

- [Lana] Yeah, ain't it just.

- Should we see if we can find another way in?

- Well, the breaching charges won't detonate RDX.

I do know what I'm doing, Danny.

(brooding ambient music continues)

- At 09:21,

DCI Batra and I sought confirmation from Gold Command

to pursue the lead.

- The one that came from the arrest of the driver

of the suspect HGV?

- Correct.

It took us to a courier office at 13 Columbia Road.

The DCI confirmed that the office was located

on the lower ground floor of the building.

As Trojan Three conducted their search,

we noticed a suspicious individual

in an adjoining building.

- Who's we?

- DCI Batra and I.

- [Woolford] Can you describe the individual?

- IC1 male.

No distinguishing features.

There was a hood obscuring his face.

- And who noticed him first?

- DCI Batra.

On entering the adjoining building-

- [Woolford] Without CTSFO support.

- Yes. - Whose idea was that?

(Morgan sighs)

- DCI Batra.

You have to understand

the immense pressure that we were under.

- Once you entered the building, then what?

- We climbed up two flights of stairs.

We saw the suspect individual again.

He turned and ran.

- Why didn't you call it in?

- I did. I asked DCI Batra to call it in.

- [Woolford] You asked your senior officer

to call in the contact?

- Yeah. I was closest in pursuit at the time.

- Why didn't he?

- Sorry?

- Why didn't the DCI call it in?

The first we heard was from Trojan three after the contact.

- I don't know.

But DCI Batra would've had

a very good reason for doing whatever he did.

(brooding ambient music continues)

- Take a seat, DS Morgan.

- DS Morgan.

- Neil.

- I'm glad you're okay.

- Neil, any updates on the lorry driver?

- He's ready to be interviewed.

- Good. Andy will be joining you.

- Ma'am?

- [Nia] I'd like you to conduct the interview.

- But surely DS Morgan-

- DS Morgan will be staying here for the time being.

She's had more than enough to deal with today.

- [Neil] Ma'am.

(brooding ambient music continues)

- [Lana] Danny, stand by to connect the charge.

- [Danny] Ready.

- Okay.

- Wait.

- Danny, the setup- - Shh. Listen.

- Is gonna be fine...

(hand rapping)

Can you hear that? (hand rapping)

Is that someone tapping on the door?

(hand rapping)

Gold Command, Expo One.

There's someone inside the room.

(hand rapping)

(brooding ambient music continues)

Tap again if you can hear me.

(hand rapping)

My name's Lana. I'm here to help.

I'm gonna ask you some questions, okay?

Tap once if the answer's yes. Tap twice if the answer's no.

Do you understand?

(hand raps)

Okay. Are you tied up?

(hand raps)

Are you tied up against the door?

(hand raps)

Can you see anything?

(hand rapping)

Okay, just stay really still for me.

Right. I'm gonna need to drill through the door,

so we need to take the charges down.

Need to find out what we're dealing with.

(brooding ambient music)

(drill whirring)

(brooding ambient music continues)

Okay, we've got a female tied to the door by a rope.

Okay, she's not in good shape. Possible concussion.

Can you make sure there's medics standing by?

- [Croxley] Copy that.

- Can you tap on the door

just so I know you can still hear me?

(hand raps)

Okay, you're doing great.

(brooding ambient music continues)

IED confirmed.

We've got a closed circuit. The door itself is a trigger.

If we'd have opened it, it would've detonated.

- [Nia] Copy that, Expo One.

- I'm just feeding something else through the door.

Stay still for me.

(brooding ambient music continues)

Isolating the charge with a simple snip now.

(cutter snips)

Device neutralised, entry secured.

(Annie sobbing and mumbling)

Okay.

Okay, we're here. Just stay calm.

Okay.

All right.

I'm here. I'm here. Look at me.

Let me take this out your mouth.

What's your name? What's your name?

- Annie.

- Deep breaths, Annie. We're here now.

Okay. This might hurt a bit.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Let me get this from you.

Oh, there we go.

All right.

- What- - No, no, Annie.

Annie, look at me. Don't worry about that.

That's all been dealt with, okay?

You're safe.

All right. Where's this medic?

- [Croxley] Medic's travelling in from the riverside now.

(pliers snip)

- Okay, look at me, Annie.

You're all right. You're safe.

Tell me how you got caught up in this.

- I'm security.

- [Lana] Okay. - I saw something

on my rounds this morning.

I came to look and then they knocked me out.

- Okay. I get it, I get it.

Can you tell me what you saw?

- I don't know.

There were a lot of monitors and equipment.

- Okay, that's great.

Just stay there for me.

I'm just gonna get us some help.

Danny, get in here. I need you.

Can you get to her feet?

- Yeah.

You all right?

My name's PC Markham

and I'm here to get you to safety, okay?

(brooding ambient music continues)

- [Lana] Okay, there's no sign of any drone command.

Annie, it's just past 11. Do you know when you came in here?

- Yeah.

Maybe an hour ago.

- Okay, great.

Expo One.

The bombers will have left in the last hour.

- [Nia] Copy that, Expo One.

- Wash.

- Yeah?

- There's something on her back.

- Okay. Stay still.

(brooding ambient music continues)

Stay really still, Annie.

- Well?

- We've got a secondary.

Just hold that, gently.

Still, still, steady, steady, steady.

- It's okay.

(brooding ambient music continues)

Wash. Talk to me.

What can you see?

- Right. I need you both to stay as still as you can.

We've got tilt switches.

- Shit.

- What does that mean? - Annie stop,

Annie stop. - [Lana] Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa. - Listen to me.

Listen to me.

You need to be really still, okay?

If you keep moving,

you'll turn the device and it will trigger.

So just be really still.

You're doing great, okay?

- Danny, give me a hand.

Give me a hand.

Keep your hand on that from me.

Keep it there, as still as you can.

Wait.

(brooding ambient music continues)

(Annie whimpering)

Be as still as you possibly can.

Just need to trace the device.

- Wash.

Wash.

Wash, she's shaking.

- Yeah, I can see that, Danny. Just use your big muscles.

- [Danny] My muscles?

Are you kidding me? - Annie, stay really still.

- Fucking tilt switch in my hands.

Annie, it's gonna be okay. All right?

- Okay. Just going for the wire now.

Deep breaths. Stay really still.

(Annie whimpering)

You've gotta stop shaking, okay?

(brooding ambient music continues)

Just both stay really still.

- [Annie] Sorry.

(pliers snip)

- We're clear. We're clear. We're clear.

- It's okay.

- Turn around for me.

You're okay. You're okay.

I'm just gonna pat you down before you go.

You've done great. How brave.

(brooding ambient music continues)

Okay.

Well done.

Trojan One,

secondary device has been neutralised on the hostage.

Tell the medics I'll be out in a minute.

- Thank you.

- You're okay.

(Lana sighing)

(Danny sighing)

- That was too close for me.

- I know.

I'm sorry, Danny. I shouldn't have brought you in.

- It's fine.

- Come on.

You did a great job.

- Yeah.

(brooding ambient music)

- [Nia] Expo One, everyone okay?

- Yeah. Everybody's fine.

- And drone command?

- [Lana] No, there's no drone command.

There's no nothing.

These people are messing with us.

(seagulls mewing)

(sirens wailing)

(car horns honking)

(radio anchor speaking indistinctly)

- [Radio Anchor] No one has yet

claimed responsibility for the attacks

and emergency services are present

at many sites around London,

as the police are- (indistinct)

From the areas that were under attack,

please get in contact.

Many of London's streets- (indistinct)

They're way out of the capital.

Meanwhile, the attack on London's financial institutions

is causing great instability.

- You were part of a coordinated attack

with two other devices

targeting the UK banking group headquarters here

and the London Commodities Exchange here.

- No, I don't feel good.

- So you do speak English.

- I need to see a doctor.

- You've been signed off by the medics.

Three large devices, many casualties,

millions of pounds worth of damage,

chaos in the financial markets.

Is that job done as far as you're concerned?

- Please. - Answer our questions

and we can get you to a doctor.

Our forensic analysis

says that the explosive material is RDX.

Now that's military equipment.

Where'd you get that from?

- I don't know. Look, I-

Look, please just- - Do you understand

what's going on here?

You're being held under section 41 of the Terrorism Act.

Now, we will find out who you're working with

and what you want, one way or another.

If you cooperate now, it may help your defence.

And I think you're gonna need all the help you can get.

Tell us what this is all about.

What is it that you want?

(driver vomits)

(chains clinking)

- That was all designed to slow us down.

They know exactly what we were doing.

- Does the hostage know anything?

- No, nothing. She was just caught up in their plans.

- Like Batra.

- Yeah, exactly.

We can't keep walking into their traps.

We need to get our heads back in the game.

They want us looking the wrong way.

(motorbike engines vrooming) (brooding music)

(motorbike breaks squeak)

(motorbike engines vrooming)

(explosion booming)

(car alarm ringing) (people screaming)

- Back.

Back, back, everyone back.

(gun fires)

(gun fires)

- Control, this is Del 17. Shots fired in Old Ford Road.

Attack in progress.

At least one device detonated.

Urgent backup required.

- [Control] Received, Delta 17.

You are not to approach until backup is at scene.

Currently, all teams are involved in ongoing incidents.

Over.

- Received.

(dramatic brooding music)

- [Nia] Get me the PC at the scene.

- What's happening?

- Ongoing incident at Poplar.

Control have referred an officer call to us.

- There's more images coming up from social media, ma'am.

- [Andy] Have we verified it?

- As best we can. It seems genuine.

- Who have we got that's nearest?

Trojan One, Expo One, this is Gold Command.

There's an attack in progress on Old Ford Road in Poplar.

Shots fired and at least one explosive device has been used.

Expo support required.

- Oh shit. There's a video online.

(gun fires) - Oh, shit.

- [Nia] It's a mile from you.

You're the closest expo to the location.

(gun fires) - Gold Command, copy that.

We're on our way.

- A mile in this traffic.

It's quickest to run.

- Yeah, for you, maybe.

Fuck's sake.

(brooding music)

(car horns honking)

- [Nia] Expo One, We've lost contact

with the officer who called this in.

We think he's in danger.

- Let's Move! - Let's go!

(brooding music continues)

Lana, give us your kit.

(water trickling)

- Hmm.

Canteen lasagna missed the mark.

- You don't wanna know.

- God, that stinks. What is it?

- Lorry driver.

Thought I was finally getting somewhere

and then he chucks up on me.

- Oh, the driver with the gunshot wound?

- [Neil] Yeah.

- Oh.

You think it was shock

or something more serious like internal bleeding?

- The medics signed him off.

Under pressure, admittedly.

- And he's back with them now?

- Yeah.

I mean, he was sweating

and yeah, he had a nose bleed when they got here.

I mean, yeah, all the fluids.

- How long ago was this?

- About 15 minutes ago.

- Can you show me where?

- Yeah, okay.

(brooding music)

- [Croxley] All Trojan call signs, secure vantage points.

We need to secure this whole area.

- Okay, get a cordon around the SUV.

- Uniform's right behind you.

- Yup. Okay.

Gold Command, Expo One.

I'm at the ambush site.

Okay.

- All uniforms.

This is Expo One bravo.

Attending the scene at Old Ford Road.

Establish a cordon 100 metres eastbound and westbound, over.

(brooding music)

(helicopter rotor whirring)

(brooding music continues)

(scanner beeps)

(scanner beeps)

- Okay, we got two casualties, both dead.

I'm gonna check the vehicle now.

(brooding music continues)

(helicopter rotor whirring)

(brooding music continues)

Fucking hell.

(brooding ambient music)

- Wait.

If it is chemical weapons, we can't take any risk.

We'll only be a minute.

There's blood in it.

- That is-

- Yeah. Nasty.

- Yeah.

- But it'll give us some answers.

- I'm gonna ask you some questions,

and I just need you to nod your head really gently for me.

When they put that in your mouth,

did they ask you to bite down?

They did? Keep doing that.

Keep the pressure on it as much as you can, okay?

Phil, I need a first aid kit immediately.

Right, let's get you comfy

and then I can work on the device, yeah?

Good lad.

(brooding ambient music)

Ta.

Right.

I'm gonna move your feet.

You just concentrate

on keeping your mouth really, really still.

That's it. You're doing great.

Okay.

You're doing great.

Okay.

Well, you're a police officer,

so you understand what's going on here.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you.

We're professionals, yeah?

When they put that in your mouth,

did they pull something out?

They did?

Okay.

Well, that probably means that it's spring-loaded.

So your teeth are pushing down on the spring.

Okay, that's like a grenade.

If you open your mouth, you know what's gonna happen.

Okay?

I just need you to keep your mouth shut.

- Bring up his records.

His name is Robert Wells.

He joined the force nine months ago.

Keep his radio channel open.

- Yeah, copy that.

All right. They want us on open comms,

so if you can hold that for me.

Just concentrate on keeping that set right.

Okay, we've got a victim-operated IED.

I'm just gonna look at the detail now.

So Robert, we've not worked together before, have we?

Well, lucky for you, I'm the best there is.

I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?

Stay really still for me, really calm.

Okay.

Okay, I can feel the spring.

Robert, look at me.

I can't get to that by going through your mouth.

Because you're biting down,

there's no room for me to get in.

So you know what we're gonna have to do, don't you?

I'm gonna use a scalpel, make a really small incision

as neat as I possibly can.

All I need you to do is just keep biting down for me. Okay?

(brooding ambient music continues)

Let's get this done quick, shall we?

Deep breaths for me.

Just try and stay as still as you can.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

(brooding ambient music continues)

Okay.

That's it, you're doing great.

Okay.

Well done, Robert. Right.

Right. We're nearly there.

Just one more minute. I just need to get to the battery.

All right. It's coming.

Okay. There it is.

All right. Okay.

Well done, Robert. Well done.

Okay, let's take this out your mouth. Open up.

That's it. That's it.

Well done.

Hold that there, as much pressure as you can.

As much pressure as you can.

Device neutralised.

Okay. Look at me.

Robert, look at me. I need you to stay with me.

Well done, mate. Well done.

Now listen, I know you're in shock,

but I need you to tell me what you saw.

Talk to me. What did you see? What happened?

- I don't know. I don't know.

- Robert, they're on comms.

They need all the information they can get.

After what's happened this morning,

something has to be connected, okay?

Was this an assassination?

- It wasn't a hit.

It was a kidnapping.

There was someone else.

Someone they kept alive.

They took someone.

They took someone from the car.

- Who? Who did they take?

- I don't know.

I don't know who it was.
