Three big devices, two VODs and a kidnapping.

And I doubt it's over yet.

- We've all seen these bombers don't hesitate

when it comes to killing others.

- Well, terror's more effective when you drag it out.

- Why didn't you call it in?

- I did, I asked DCI Patrick to call it in.

And you asked your senior officer

to call in the contact?

Why didn't the DCI call it in?

- I don't know.

These are the men that were shot during the kidnapping,

but we still don't know who they are.

Whoever was kidnapped, that's the way in.

- Find out who it is

and we can begin to build a picture.

- Gold Command, EXPO 1.

We've got IED designs,

all aimed at the security services.

Vauxhall Cross, Thames House, Blenheim Walk,

all of them.

- I need you to trigger Code 17.

Initiating service switch

for secure data extraction.

System vulnerable to cyber and electronic attack

until full reboot is complete.

- Central 13, Gold Command is not safe.

Repeat, Gold Command is not safe.

We're about a minute away.

Wait, wait, stop, stop.

Hands up.

There's devices on both of your cars.

- The cars haven't been there long enough

to be rigged unnoticed.

Right, you need to get everybody

out of this building.

Device neutralised.

- You tried to kill me

and that wasn't the deal.

I need proof that my brother is still alive.

And if I do not get that,

I will do everything, everything in my power

to stop you.

- You put your life on the line every day.

And are you ready for that,

for it to be the last one?

- That's the job.

- It's time to face your anger.

The, the, the pressure,

the guilt that you are carrying

everywhere you go.

- I was worried it was a pathogen,

but it's not.

It's worse, Lana.

It's radiation poisoning.

- This is four-yield, city-killer kind of stuff.

- Whatever they're building,

it's big.

- What are you looking for?

- Oh.

We don't have any more capacitors.

- Top drawer.

Stop stalling.

Everything you need is coming.

In 24 hours, this will all be over.

Build the bomb.

No further details have been released

concerning the suspected terror attacks

on the security services.

Reports of casualties and fatalities

have yet to be confirmed,

but it is understood that the investigation

is being conducted by counterterrorism officers

from the metropolitan.

- Oh, Lana.

- Sir.

- Look, I'm very sorry

a-about the loss of Nia Quentin.

She was an exceptional officer.

- Do you know who's replacing her?

- Well, uh, yes.

Actually, uh...

- Oh God.

- Well, there's no use throwing someone

into the middle of all this

who has no experience

running the leading counter-terror unit.

- There's got to be someone else out there, surely.

Look, I know we left things

in a bad place.

- Yeah, you accused me of being a terrorist.

- Yeah, and you called me some pretty choice names as well.

Look, I'm up to speed with all this.

I know the lorry driver from the attack

has been exposed to a significant amount

of nuclear material.

And if that makes its way into the country,

it would mean the greatest terror threat we've ever seen.

- Yeah.

- Lana, I need you one side.

So, so can we at least agree to make peace?

- Professor Callum Schroder.

We managed to match the DNA

found in the back of the car

that he was grabbed from,

and we believe that he's now being held hostage

by the terrorists.

- What, a professor?

- Yeah, he works for a company

that was contracted by the government

to design and manufacture components for weapons.

- What kind of weapons?

- Nuclear.

- Jesus Christ.

- But we have absolutely no concrete evidence

to suggest that any nuclear material

has made its way into this country illegally.

- Well, we know the lorry driver

has radiation poisoning.

- I'm not denying he's come into contact with-

- We also know that this guy

works in nuclear weapons

and has been kidnapped.

- I don't think what, uh, Lana is saying-

- Here we go. - If you'd let me talk, Lana.

I don't think what Lana is saying can be ignored,

Mr. Oldfield.

My officers should at least be talking

with the lorry driver,

conducting searches,

looking for anyone or anything

that could shed light on what is going on.

- I'm afraid that's not possible at this moment, sir.

- Which bit? - Any of it.

And why not?

- Well, our early warning systems

for detecting dirty bombs in nuclear attacks

is second to none.

Satellites are picking up no unusual radiation spikes

in the country.

Scanners at ports and airports

have not been triggered.

- So there's no danger of complacency then, eh?

- Yeah, are we forgetting

about what happened here in this office

and the threat to MI5 and MI6?

- That still doesn't mean that there's nuclear material

in the country.

The lorry driver has until recently

been on the continent.

We're working with the French DGSI,

the German BFE and other agencies

to track any possible threats.

- Yeah, meanwhile, we're sat here doing fuck all.

- Well, our intelligence agencies

are currently exhausting all avenues

related to this investigation.

- Yeah, so I still don't get

why you're not letting SO15 go at it.

How do you expect us

to be counterterrorism command

if we cannot counter terror?

- The isotope signature says

he has to have handled 20 kilos plus of uranium-235.

Do you know how hard that is to get hold of?

- Yeah, I do actually.

- Good, then you'd also know

that it would require state involvement,

another country's government,

directly or indirectly.

So yes, we need to be very careful

about what information leaves this room,

because the moment we start pointing fingers

and we're not 100% sure on who we're going after,

people could die.

Therefore, SO15 and EOD

will remain as the tactical response.

But the message from COBRA is clear,

this is not your case to investigate.

- Got it.

Don't forget, people have died.

- The device has been identified

at the bottom of DS Morgan's car

as the same as were found under the cars

at Vauxhall Cross and Thames House.

You okay to do this?

- Yeah.

- So how did they get that past scanners?

- The materials used are perfect

for avoiding electronic detection.

The trigger itself uses Wi-Fi

and runs on 5.4 gigahertz.

It's the only part of the device

that it would take some effort

to get through security.

Otherwise, the power supply's the car itself,

the container is the steering wheel

and the explosives are packed into that.

- You had a luck escape.

- Sir.

- It's intelligent bomb making.

Makes use of foreign source components,

it employs counter-EOD methodology.

- And what you found at the bomb-making factory

under the railway arches?

- Traces of explosives

and plans for other devices.

- But no sign of radiation or radioactive material?

- No. - Sir,

I didn't think this was SO15's case to investigate.

- I have no intention

of being locked out of this investigation.

I'm the head of SO15.

They can, for want of a better expression,

go fuck themselves.

- Hass. - Yeah?

- I need you to get me one of these.

More if you can.

- It's a Geiger counter.

- Yeah, nothing wrong with being prepared.

- So how about the ones we've got here?

- What, the American ones?

- Yeah. - They're broke.

I've been trying to get ahold of some more,

but something to do with supply chain issues.

Are you sure about this?

You really think it's in the country?

Don't think you're being a bit paranoid.

What?

- Normally I'd clip you round the ear for that,

but I'm okay with being paranoid.

- It looks lonely,

doesn't it?

Not for much longer.

- Boss, that's wheels down in one hour.

- Get everyone ready.

- I read the intelligence brief

about the likelihood of radioactive material

being in the country,

and they do have a point.

I mean, you'd have to overcome

some massive obstacles to get it in.

Even if they had it in a lead-lined case,

they're still not getting it in here

via conventional routes.

- Yeah.

- Do you mind if I say something?

- Shit? - What?

- Do I mind if you say something shit?

Otherwise you wouldn't have asked for permission.

- No.

I was gonna say I'm proud of you.

- Hmm, you're being soft,

which means you do think it's in the country.

No, I just,

I think all the therapy that you've been having is,

is having an effect.

Positive I mean.

- And you've managed to pick up on that

whilst we're dealing with all this shit?

- Yeah.

- Can you imagine what I'd be like

if I didn't have to deal with all these fucking psychos?

- Ah, two of my favourite ladies

all in the same place.

- Why are you being creepy?

- I'm not.

What you doing here anyway?

- Wi-Fi's down.

Security's under review.

What's that?

- It's a Geiger counter.

Mate of mine, he biked it down

from barracks in Didcot.

Haven't you got any?

- Nah, they're busted.

And Wash doesn't want the chain of command

to know she wants one.

Result, right?

- Mm, uh, where did he get it from,

the Regimental Museum?

Mate, come on.

It looks like it came from Chernobyl.

That's not helpful.

Um, listen, it's the only one that they could spare.

- It doesn't work.

- It does work.

Give it here, you, you just need to...

Okay.

- Yeah, bang it. - Oh, tap it

on the side, yeah. - Bang it.

- Look, see, it just needs new batteries, that's all.

- Mm-hmm.

- This is a traffic camera equipped with ANPR.

All results have been fed

through facial recognition

since the Schroder disappearance,

and we've had a hit.

That's Callum Schroder, sir.

- Good work, DC Hackett.

Who's, who's that?

- LFR has no record of him.

Where is that?

Uh, out in West London, sir.

And what's that facility beside it?

- Right, let's go.

Mate.

- We have new information.

Facial recognition has picked up Schroder

and his kidnappers

on approach to an airfield.

- An airfield?

Is that for another attack?

Not sure,

but we have a confirmed sighting of the vehicle

in the vicinity of an empty hangar.

- When did the last flight take off?

- NATS said they have no record of the departure

since yesterday evening.

- If they're rigged an IED,

it could still be there.

If they're planning an airborne device,

you're gonna have to shoot it down.

- Understood.

CTSFOs are en route and will meet you there.

- Sir,

we're not seriously gonna shoot down a plane.

I mean, what if there are hostages on board?

- What hostage could be more important

than an airborne weapon bound for London?

- No, I understand that,

sir, but- - No, Lana's right.

We have to be prepared for the worst.

- Have you lost something?

- Um, yeah, my car keys.

- One of these and you still manage

to lose them?

- That's it, the central hanger.

If they're planning an airborne attack,

they could be loading it up right now.

- Yeah, we need to move quickly.

- No, I'm concerned about hostages.

I don't need to remind you that force is the last resort.

Whatever we find in there,

we prioritise prevention of harm

and protection of life, okay?

- Understood.

- Everything all right?

- Yeah, you?

- Yeah, good as I can be.

- Good.

- All right then, let's get this done.

EXPO 1, bravo.

All ready with the ECM.

- All good, EXPO 1, everything up and running here.

No problem on our end, over.

- Hey, Danny, why did we bring the CBRN gear?

- Yeah, that'd be Wash.

- Do you really think something's gonna kick off?

- I find that if Wash has a hunch,

it's usually best to go with it.

- Why?

'Cause she'd tear you a new one if you didn't?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Clear.

- Stop, stop, stop.

- Bronze Command, person found.

I'm Lana Washington, explosives officer.

Do you wanna tell me who you are?

- I'm Troy.

- Are you the pilot of this helicopter?

- Yeah, yeah.

- What you doing just sitting there?

- I can't get out.

There's a bomb.

- Do you know where the bomb is, Troy?

- Uh, it's, um, it's on me,

uh, under my chair.

I, I think it's broken.

Like the timer just, it just stopped.

- Just stay still, yeah?

Gold Command, confirming presence of a device.

We're not too late.

- Understood.

Priority is to disarm the device,

but we need to secure all other buildings and aircraft.

- Copy that.

Phil, you and your team can crack on.

- Will do.

Fall back.

EXPO 1, who have you found?

- Yeah, it's just the pilot.

I'm talking with him now.

I see one male, 30s.

Do you know the people who did this to you?

- I, I, I don't know who they were.

- Okay.

Looks clear.

Right, I'm just gonna take a look around.

Okay.

Right, Troy, do you wanna tell me exactly what happened?

- Uh, yeah, I was trying to get out,

you know, get it off me.

I think the wire came loose.

My lucky day.

- Oh yeah, let's hope so.

- Look, are you gonna cut me out?

- Troy, I'm gonna be straight with you, okay?

I know these bombers.

- What do you mean? - No,

I, I mean I know how they work, okay?

Pulling a wire out of a timer to disarm it

is just too easy.

These people, they build traps

to stop people like me doing my job.

And like me, they're good at what they do.

So I don't much like the fact it hasn't functioned.

- Yeah, well, I'm okay with it.

Look, can't you just let me go?

- Oi, oi, just keep a cool head, all right?

You're sitting on explosives.

The timer's stopped so I can neutralise this,

but I need to check for traps.

Come on.

Where are you?

- Looks like the helicopter's the power source,

same as the cars.

Okay, multi-core wire. - What, what, what,

what, what, what, what are you saying?

- Just keep still.

Just need a bit of time to figure out their design.

So what was the job?

Where did they want you to take the bomb?

- The job was just to hear.

I, I came in this morning from France.

It's just a, just a case.

That's all I had to bring.

Look, I'll tell you what you need to know.

Can you just, please, just get me out of here first?

- This case, where's that?

- I don't know, look,

the men who met me pulled a gun,

took the case and fastened me to this.

- All right, all right.

- See this bomb? - Fuck me, come on.

- That's everything.

- How heavy was this case?

- I don't know, heavy.

Stowed it at the back.

About 10 kilos,

more maybe.

- Okay.

- Wait, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Where are you going?

Hey.

- Okay, don't let down, Hass.

Come on.

Hass.

Oh my God.

Shit.

- Bronze Command, EXPO 1.

There was radioactive material in the aircraft.

Repeat, there was radioactive material in the aircraft.

- What the hell's going on?

We need visual confirmation

of it being removed from the airfield.

- Received, searching for CCTV opportunities now.

Ho.

Suspected surveillance structure.

Can't get a visual.

Move.

Bronze Command, Trojan 1.

I've got working CCTV here,

and it's covering the airfield apron.

- Copy that, EXPO 8,

we need to follow Trojan 1's lead on the CCTV.

- I'm on it.

- You were explicitly told

to step back from this investigation.

- I hadn't realised I was receiving

an order from someone who ranks as my junior.

You should've trusted Lana.

- You know exactly where that order came from.

You'll pay a price for your actions here today.

- I don't buy your reasons for shutting us out.

There's something going on here

and I will get to the bottom of it.

- Okay, step back, please.

Yeah, looks clear.

I don't trust it.

Not gonna go through the door.

Move your men back.

I'm gonna go through the side.

- Copy that.

Team 1, fall back left, on the double.

Eyes on the door.

Team 2, fall back to the car park, on the double.

Eyes on the window.

- Right, let's get you out of here.

Conducting EOR the CCTV.

- No, no, no, no, no, shit, shit, shit.

What is it? What's happened?

- The, the timer, it started again.

- What?

What have you pressed? - Nothing,

I, I didn't do anything, it just started it.

- All right, all right, all right.

- Help me. - Just calm down.

Come on. - It means something happened.

- Come on, come on, come on.

Please, please, please.

Just, just cut me out. - Calm, deep breaths.

- Please. - I'm cutting you out.

I'm doing it. - Yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - All right, deep breaths.

- Just, just- - You need to stay still

for me, okay?

Just let me deal with it.

Next one.

Just stay calm.

I know what I'm doing.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

All right, come on.

There we go, come on.

- Just cut, just cut it. - Yeah, I'm doing it.

Listen, I'm working as fast as I can.

All right.

Right, done. - Okay.

- Just need to do the next lot.

- Come on, come on.

Contact explosion, EXPO 8 is down.

Repeat, contact explosion,

EXPO 8 is down.

- Hass.

- Come on, what are you doing?

Come on.

Come on.

It's going down, come on.

- I'm doing it.

- Hurry up, please, come on.

Come on, come on.

Please, hurry up.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

- Shut up.

Done.

They knew.

Once the pilot told me about the case,

they knew I'd want to check CCTV.

It was a trap.

- CCTV was a come-on.

I just walked Hass straight into it.

- Don't do that.

- Well, he would say, if it wasn't him,

then it would've been me.

- He'd be right.

- No, that's not the fucking point.

If it's gonna be anyone, it has to be me.

Not fucking Hass.

- Why?

- Because I can't take it anymore.

I can't lose anyone else.

I can't.

- Lana everyone who takes on a job like yours

understands the risks.

Hass understands how the cards might fall

and he is there,

because, like you,

he wouldn't be who he is

if he didn't do what he does.

- I can't deal with that.

So what's gonna happen to me?

Because I can't cope.

I can't deal with losing people anymore.

I can't deal with not saving people that I love.

- You need to remember the people that you have saved,

that you do an amazing thing,

a selfless thing.

But you can't save everyone.

- That's starting to dawn on me,

'cause it's destroying me.

Maybe I'm weak.

- You're no weak.

You, you've done enough.

- I spoke to the pilot at the scene.

He's maintaining ignorance about the nuclear material.

The only thing he said is that the men that took the case,

one of them was on a phone call

and speaking in Farsi.

- Farsi?

Are you sure?

- Yeah, yeah, the pilot said

that his wife speaks it.

- Iran, then.

It's Iran doing this.

There's no reason to delay anymore.

- What do you mean?

- I do know a bit about bombs.

And I know that you've got all that you need now.

So let's finish it, shall we?

No time to lose, Professor.

- What did they need the pilot for?

- He was just a delivery boy.

- Uranium?

- Most likely, yeah.

- And they let him live just to trick you?

You have to catch them, Lana.

You've gotta catch them.

You gotta go with your gut.

- Okay, we've got confirmation from bomb data analysis.

The bomb underneath the pilot

was never meant to detonate.

The device was a decoy.

I think they're using him

to give you information.

They're playing us.

- Ah, I don't know, Lana.

- What, you're falling for it?

I did.

What, what information has he given you so far?

What's the only thing he's said?

- Just that the men he delivered to

were speaking Farsi over the phone.

- There you go, they want it to look like Iran.

Whoever's behind this,

they want to start a war.
