Original subtitles

This bombing was an attack on civil society.

I promise you those responsible will be brought to justice.

Such an act is not only callous and cowardly...

it is an act of treason

and will be met with the full force of the state.

It pained me greatly to learn that the target of the attack

does now appear to be my own family.

-Can we at least talk, please, mate? -Move!

As Home Secretary, I will be rallying to broaden the police's powers

of detention, of surveillance and searches.

Now, these urgent measures will take effect immediately.

Everything all right, lads?

Yeah, we're cool. Right, Cal?

Yeah.

- Did you plant the bomb? - No! Is that what you think?

- So, who did it? - Look, it's under control.

And the person that did it, he'll... they'll...

- Did you ever think that it was wrong? - It was wrong, OK?

It was wrong!

It's not like I tried to warn you or anything.

- I'm sorry, what? - Nothing. Forget about it.

- Do you think I'm being ungrateful? - I said, forget it.

Thank you, Callum, for trying to warn me in time.

It's a shame you didn't quite make it.

Sephy... Sephy!

It's the bomb. Everyone's jumpy.

As soon as they catch them, though, everything will calm down.

It's like they've turned up the volume.

I tell you what, I'm glad I'm old.

- You're 48. - What about the boys, though, eh?

Well, they're good kids.

They're smart. They take after me.

Callum had a chance. And now it's gone.

So, what's he got to look forward to?

Working for a Cross. Zero hours. A flat in bloody Meadowview.

And being slammed up against a police van!

Don't...

It'll be all right. It always is.

Kamal, are we safe?

Yes, darling, I assure you.

I would not let any harm ever come to you ever again.

I'm here to protect you and the girls.

When I think I nearly lost you... It's almost unbearable.

Almost?

It is. It is unbearable.

Never again.

Mama?

What are you doing?

Remember the day that was taken?

Yeah, I do.

I watched you playing.

And then a thought hit me.

What if...?

What if you two...?

But I pushed it away, cos it was just too absurd,

too dangerous to even imagine.

But now I know it isn't absurd.

-Only dangerous. - Mama...

Whatever it is that you're thinking...

What I mean is...

it's complicated.

What happened with Mercy Point?

I guess I got tired of a game I could never win.

The victims of the Demwa Hospital bomb have now being named

as cardiologist Zoya Jakande and surgeon Troy Adeyemi.

The third casualty of the bomb was a Nought cleaner at the hospital.

Anyone with information should call the special incident line...

Oh, I promise you, whoever did this, we will find them.

Sephy, what is it?

When you're hit continuously...

eventually, you hit back.

It's a natural response.

Only, there's a limit. And anything beyond that...

Such violence can never be justified.

No, it cannot. It must not.

Then maybe you're right, Baba.

Maybe we'll never really understand them.

Noughts, I mean.

Even when we think we do.

What's brought this on? Sephy, look at me.

Do you know something about who planted the bomb?

You know what they say about drinking alone...

I came to find Dorn. But there's no-one here.

Jude, if you've got any sense...

you'll steer clear of this place and Jack Dorn for a good long while.

Because that bomb, son, it changed everything.

Good. I'll see you at home.

We have been given the name of a suspect.

We're certain the Liberation Militia was behind the attack.

Then you must do what you think is necessary.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

Just so you know...

I've instructed my staff to draw up a White Paper

regarding the decriminalisation of inter-racial relationships.

Perhaps...

Perhaps we should bury our dead before we start placating their killers.

Every time they attack us, you reward them.

Because the best way to put out a fire is not to pour petrol on it.

I'm sure you're as bored with this conversation as I am, Kamal.

Your time will come.

But until then, with all due respect...

get out of my way.

There was supposed to be a warning.

The whole place should've been cleared, I swear.

Then that's what you tell the police.

No. No way. I can't.

Look, tell the police. Give them names.

We'll do everything we can.

Oh, God...

Go! Go! Go!

Oh, God!

- Did you do this? - No!

Armed police! Stay exactly where you are!

Get back! Get back!

Do not move!

Which one of you is Callum McGregor?

I am.

Wait, wait, what are you doing?!

Jude, what's happening?

Jude, what the hell's going on?

The pressure's off us and on the McGregors.

All we have to do is lie low and wait.

We had a deal!

I was in and Jude was out! You used him, Jack!

He was a frightened, stupid kid and he trusted you.

Who leaves a bomb and doesn't give a warning, eh?

He wanted to play his part.

Remember how that feels, to really believe in something?

Yeah, I believe in my family.

Well, you can't protect them forever. Not in an unjust world like this.

Well, you're one threat I can get rid of!

What do you want us to do with him?

Let him go.

The old man's time has passed.

Go see to your family, Ryan.

Come on!

Time is not our friend today, Mr McGregor.

So, let us cut to the chase.

Who planted the bomb at Demwa Hospital?

I don't know.

Full disclosure.

We know you know.

See, a pretty little bird told us.

Went straight to her father, by all accounts.

You can't trust anyone these days.

I need a results.

So, our questioning is gonna gain momentum.

So, I'll ask one more time.

Who planted the bomb at Demwa Hospital?

This had better be good.

All I said is that Callum tried to warn me about the bomb.

He trusted you. And you betrayed him.

- I was just trying to help. - I warned him about you.

About your kind. About what you're really like.

But he's an idiot and he couldn't see it.

Cos he got it in his head that you, you were somehow different.

I am.

You claim to care about my brother, but you were happy to give him up.

I mean, how you could even think for one second that he was capable of...

I went to the hospital.

Then I put the bomb in the bin on the ground floor.

Very comprehensive.

Still, one niggle remains.

As obscured as this may be...

this, here, clearly isn't you.

- Yes, it is. - No, it isn't.

So, why are you confessing to something you obviously didn't do?

We're done here.

Bring me Callum McGregor for more questioning.

Sit down!

- Excuse me? - I said, sit down.

I'm giving you what you need.

I know, when you look at me, you see something that's less than nothing.

It's why I first became a soldier with the Liberation Militia.

To make a mark.

That I did that spilling the blood of my oppressors was just a bonus.

To you, I may be less than nothing.

But to the LM, I'm someone.

Look me up. Ryan McGregor.

A fucking legend.

What's going on?

What have you done with my boys?

It's just the result we needed.

- Well done. - Thank you, sir.

Oh, sir, that intel you asked for.

Yaro Hadley, was it?

- Yes. - I've found him.

Callum, are you OK? Did the police do this to you?

Isn't this what you expected?

- Callum, please, just let me explain... - My baba handed himself in.

- He's saying he did it, to save me. - No, but he didn't do it.

- Of course he didn't! - Yeah, I know, I know.

It was Jude.

Just... Just stay away from me.

Just stay away from my family.

I didn't think this would happen, I swear, Callum.

I just thought they were gonna talk to you.

You still don't get it, do you?

If they arrest a Nought kid on suspicion of terrorism,

do you think they're just gonna sit me down

and make me a cup of tea and have a chat?

You're a child, Sephy.

Do you know what?

You're a tourist.

Our top story this evening,

a man has been arrested and charged with the bombing at Demwa Hospital,

which killed three people.

Ryan McGregor, aged 52,

is believed to be a long-standing member of the Liberation Militia.

The police were unavailable for comment.

Ah! Simply beautiful. Oshe gan.

I'm just thankful to see you up and about and looking so well.

What sort of world are we living in when our hospitals aren't even safe?

Still, you caught the ingrate blanker scum, didn't you, Kamal?

Kamal Hadley...

not just a family man, or a man of the people,

but a man of his word.

- A rarity these days. - Oh, I don't know about all that.

It hasn't hurt you in the polls, has it?

Dayo Baako...

I hope you're not suggesting that my husband would use our ordeal...

for his own political gain.

- Of course not. - Oh, good.

I'll put these in water.

Meggie, I know how difficult it must be.

Difficult? Yep, that's one word for it.

I'm so sorry.

- Are you all right? - No, he isn't.

How could he be?

No physical contact.

You lied to me.

You said you'd given all that up, you said you'd stopped.

- I have. - So, what's all this, then?

One last job, for old time's sake? Trying to recapture your youth?

Mama, please...

Baba kept his promise to you.

He didn't do it.

So why the hell did you confess?

Who are you trying to protect?

Meggie, I can't tell you.

What are you doing here?

Saving you from doing something stupid.

Mama, he can't.

Please, just think about it.

I can't let him take the rap for me. I just can't.

It was his choice. His decision to protect you.

This is a war we're fighting. Your father can see the bigger picture.

Why can't you?

The Prime Minister's intent is nothing less

than the erosion of our entire constitution.

She wants to make congress between Crosses and Noughts legal,

even desirous.

She's content to see our culture swept away

on a tide of mongrels and halfers.

I believe she's the greatest threat this nation has ever faced.

- And you're the man to stop her? - Maybe.

With your help...

getting a few other party donors on board.

I saw my fair share of conflicts during my days as Albion's Army General.

But nothing...

I repeat, nothing is as brutal as a coup.

I think �coup� is a little emotive.

Dress it up how you please. This is a bloody coup.

Lekan, son, what are you doing here?

- Mr Hadley. - Minerva needed a new personal trainer.

Motivation isn't your forte, is it, darling?

- Baba! - I asked Lekan.

Who was only too happy to...

It would appear our two families are destined to be

connected in some form or another.

Hey, General?

What's happening?

So you're Ryan McGregor.

I heard you planted the Demwa bomb.

You've got a lot of enemies, you know that?

In here, and out there.

My daughter walks past here every single day.

I'm just welcoming our new inmate. You know, it's his first day.

So, the last thing he needs is your ugly face in his.

Move.

Just keep your head down, you'll be all right.

Thanks.

Mama...

You stupid little sod! Why?!

It wasn't meant to happen like that.

After all I said, you bloody idiot!

- I just wanted to be part of something. - You bloody idiot!

Mama...

They were supposed to send a warning and no-one was supposed to get hurt.

So, you and Minerva?

I was... I was just helping her out.

Helping her work up quite a sweat, by all accounts.

I don't think you're in a position to judge someone's relationship choices.

Thank you for not saying anything.

I want you to know that Callum wasn't the reason for you and I.

It had nothing to do with him.

I don't care.

I'm relieved, if anything.

That family, though...

Some free advice.

Steer clear.

What could they possibly offer you? They're not worth it.

Sephy...

Can I...?

I've found us an advocate. She's going to come over tomorrow.

Well, we should get our story straight, then.

No motive for the attack has yet been provided.

But it's reported that extremist Ryan McGregor

is a former dock worker and resident of downtown Meadowview,

a historical stronghold and breeding ground for the Liberation Militia.

- What are you doing here? - I need to talk to you, Mr Hadley.

I have to ask if there's anything you can do for Ryan.

As Home Secretary, you must...

You know him, Mr Hadley.

Well, you know, sort of.

Yeah, well, you know, I meet a lot of sycophants.

You can imagine. But he was always... hard work.

Yeah. Yeah, that's him, all right.

But I can't do anything.

I've kept your secrets.

Yaro.

I met him.

I could go to the press. I haven't.

Why, Meggie McGregor, I do believe you're attempting to blackmail me.

No.

- I'm calling in a debt. - Yeah?

Your husband almost killed my family.

In case you are planning to go to the press,

let me just remind you that I am the Home Secretary and you...

you're a disgruntled ex-employee, who left my service under a cloud,

who's married to a self-confessed terrorist.

So you can bleat about affairs and illegitimate children all you want.

No-one's gonna waste the ink it takes to print a single word.

Let's go! Kia, kia!

Thanks to the efficient intelligence gathering

on the part of counter terrorism police,

the capture of the callous terrorist now referred to as...

Mama, can I talk to you?

Kamal always said we are at war.

War changes people.

Even so, I don't recognise that man.

Exactly. So, let's help them.

Meggie won't want to see me. Not after what I did to her.

But we've got to at least try. Don't we?

Meggie... It's Jasmine.

Meggie, please. I have Sephy with me.

- No, go away! - We just want to help.

Callum...

Come in.

This is Ananya, Ryan's advocate.

- Mrs Hadley. - Pleasure to meet you, Nananya.

- Ananya. - Nananya?

Oh, it's close enough.

- I'll wash up some more cups. - I'll help.

- Callum, I... - I told you to leave us alone.

Oh...

What?

I haven't apologised properly...

for what I did to you.

It was inexcusable.

I've been wrong about a great many things.

You.

Kamal.

I want things to change.

Callum...

Just tell me what I can do to fix this.

What don't you get?

You can't just swan in and think you can fix everything.

Some things are just broken, OK?

Are we?

My baba could die, Sephy.

And all I want is for you to just tell me it's gonna be OK.

I can do that, let me.

No, you can't! Cos then it'll be so much worse.

Where do we go from here?

- He loves you, Jasmine. - He thinks I'm crazy.

And maybe I am, for staying with him.

Or maybe I'm just too scared to leave.

What, you? Scared?

But I am going to start fighting back.

And I promise you...

I'll never fail you again.

Good.

You can start by taking these through.

OK.

If Ryan changes his plea and he's found guilty,

which he will be, then he will be executed.

The police are desperate for a result. And he's handed it to them on a plate.

So, I know this sounds counter intuitive,

but I would advise him to stick to the guilty plea.

That way there's a small chance he'll get a custodial sentence,

albeit a very long one.

It'll all come down to how he performs in court.

And for that, we need a counsel.

I do have some suggestions.

But they are all pretty expensive.

May I see them?

We're selling the car. We're borrowing money off friends.

- I'll pay for it. - Jasmine, that wasn't a hint.

I know. I've just always really liked Ryan.

And it will infuriate Kamal.

Speaking as Ryan's advocate, I don't care why it is.

We accept your offer.

OK...

I count three infringements of my client's civil liberties

and he hasn't even opened his mouth yet.

I would like a black coffee and...

- How do you take your coffee? - White.

Two sugars. Tea.

- We don't usually... - OK, let's skip the coffee.

And I will check my client for bruises.

No, that's... Sorry.

Thank you.

- Segun Okoro. - Yeah, I know who you are.

But...

What am I doing here?

You have friends in high places, Mr McGregor.

Shall we get started?

Yes...

Ryan McGregor has a case to answer.

But he showed compassion and decency in handing himself in,

thereby relieving the victims of the trauma of a criminal trial.

But there's another story here.

One of a community living in a police state.

An entire people...

traduced and victimised on a daily basis.

My client does not ask forgiveness.

Merely that you listen.

You knew about the bombing, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

How?

I...

I overheard my baba talking about it.

Actually, he was shouting.

Someone was supposed to have given a warning and they hadn't.

And so you rushed to the scene.

Yes, sir. To get everyone out.

You were seen there, arrested and thoroughly questioned.

Incidentally, we have photos in the folder

taken after Mr McGregors' questioning.

The yellow tab in bundle A.

As I was saying...

you were questioned until your father handed himself in.

Have you ever been in trouble with the police before?

No, sir.

But you've had dealings with the police.

Yes, sir.

I've... I've been stopped by the police maybe...

three hundred times.

But you've never actually been charged with anything?

No, just stopped and searched,

asked where I was going, who I was going to see.

Sometimes they make me sit in a police car whilst they radio into the station,

to see if I'm wanted for anything.

And you say that this has happened...

three hundred times.

That's over about seven years, sir, yes. To all of my friends.

Some more severe than others, of course. I'd say three hundred's about average.

I...

I thought you did really well.

Oh, OK, well...

Thank you.

I think the elders were really shocked by what you said.

I mean, I was, too.

I knew some of it, but...

I just never really had to think about it.

No, you wouldn't.

That wasn't a dig. I mean, why would you?

I've been doing a lot of thinking and...

I'm really sorry.

It's OK. I get it. I really do.

It was horrific, what happened then.

I can't defend it.

Look, I just want to say thank you, OK?

You know, for your family paying for Segun Okoro.

It's the least we could do.

I should probably...

Yeah, go for it.

Why did you do it, Ryan?

You know what hurts us...

more than the arrests and the searches...

and the beatings?

When something like this, like that bomb...

when people ask...

�..Why do they do this?�

You know why.

What our lives are like.

What you do to us.

And now you feel anger towards me.

I felt the same way

when I heard about my son being stopped three hundred times.

Or when my cousin was beaten so badly by the police

he was paralysed from the waist down.

Or when the girl I went to school with was raped by her Cross manager

and had took her own life

when she was told that no charges would be brought.

Every Nought in here, they won't have one of those stories, they'll have 20.

And every Cross will, too.

The way you clutch your bag a little tighter

when you walk past one of us.

Or when the only item you remember from the news

is about some Cross actress who's skirt was too short,

not the ten Noughts who died in an arson attack.

But I should be standing here.

What happened was appalling...

and I have to take responsibility for that.

Ryan McGregor gave a shocking testimony

that attempted, in his words, �to explain, not justify� the attack.

The elders have now retired to consider their verdict.

Earlier today I spoke to Segun Okoro,

Ryan McGregor's counsel, who said he believed the elders would deliver...

Opal.

..a just and fair verdict.

There's going to be a vote of no confidence.

And you're not going to win it.

You have been busy.

Why are you telling me?

To give you time to consider your next move.

- How kind. - I'll be...

I'll be nominated as interim Prime Minister.

Pending a formal vote.

The party's donors might have something to say about that.

Yes, I have spoken to Dayo Baako.

I see.

It was inevitable, you know?

The need to negotiate, the desire to listen to the Noughts,

to be less isolationist.

That won't suddenly disappear.

We look absurd...

to the rest of the world.

Yes, I'll bear that in mind. But for now, Mrs Folami...

that'll be all.

You must have imagined this moment.

And when you did, what happened?

This, actually.

You appear out of nowhere and make demands.

I'll be brief.

I can give you �20,000.

And what do you get for that?

This never happening again.

I'm afraid that's not enough.

20,000 is my one and final offer, Yaro.

My mama told me

she knew you were leaving months before you did.

She blamed me.

But Meggie...

Meggie nursed me, loved me.

I wanted to see her, to thank her.

You were too young to remember any of that.

Apparently not.

When did she give you this?

She gave it to me three months ago, when she told me about you.

Just before she died.

I came to bring her ashes home.

How did you see it playing out, exactly?

Cos I've seen you on the news.

I have heard you speak.

But I make every word you speak a lie.

I am the cancer in your throat.

Ryan McGregor...

you have committed a heinous and cowardly terrorist act.

And while I am mindful of your guilty plea and your obvious remorse...

there is an argument that an unprecedented act

demands an unprecedented response.

That a message must be sent

and you must receive the maximum penalty.

That of death...

by hanging.

However, I do not believe...

that your execution can serve any other purpose but revenge.

And we must rise above this.

Therefore, I sentence you to the maximum custodial sentence...

of 30 years in prison.

Take him down.

I don't get why we're celebrating. Like him getting 30 years is a good thing.

Because, Jude...

we came this close to losing him for good.

Don't forget.

Don't you ever forget why your baba did this.

So that you could have a future, Jude.

A real future.

Yes?

Hey...

- Well, hey. - Where are you going?

I just need some quiet, you know?

- This last week has been... - No, no, of course.

You should go.

Come with me.

Well, just wait a minute.

- And then meet me upstairs. - OK.

Opal Folami has just announced that she is resigning as Prime Minister

with immediate effect.

Home Secretary Kamal Hadley is expected to take over as interim PM.

Oh, Mr Hadley!

I mean, Prime Minister, sir. Congratulations.

Well, nothing's official yet. Switch off your engine.

You're an honourable man, Lekan. I've always admired that about you.

- Ese gan, sir. - That's why what I'm about to ask you,

I'm pretty sure, no, in fact, I'm certain...

that you will answer honestly,

regardless of any ramifications you may fear...

either for me or yourself.

Yes, sir, of course.

Something that's been... plaguing me recently.

The answer to a question I almost...

dare not ask, but almost certainly must.

Your break-up with Sephy.

What was the reason behind it?

Callum McGregor.

They've been sleeping together.

As far as I know, it's consensual, but...

she has admitted it to me.

Who else knows?

Whatever this is...

your timing's impeccable.

Come here. Quickly, come here.

Come here.

You are both idiots.

I tell you, it's nothing without a splash of vodka.

But I promised Sephy, so...

Where is she, by the way? Have you seen her?

She's..

It's been my privilege to serve as Prime Minister for the past three years.

But in the light of recent events and the increased social unrest,

I have decided it is time to step down...

..and pave the way for a new approach.

I have no regrets about my time in office and...

So...

What happens now?

Now he's in power, he'll come for us.

The real battle begins.

Don't get involved, for your own good.
