Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,720
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.
2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,032
Alpha-075, I'm declaring
a fuel emergency.
3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,240
Alpha-075, how many
souls do you have on board
4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,158
and what's your current
fuel status?
5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,799
295 souls on board.
6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,519
Current fuel status
is half an hour.
7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,314
We spent too long over France.
We won't make Newcastle.
8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,671
They've had avionics issues
since the storm hit.
9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,400
And then with the situation
at Charles de Gaulle...
10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,909
- Where is he now?
- Approaching Northumberland
11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,713
- but we keep losing him.
- Try Newcastle.
12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,639
He doesn't think
he'll get there.
13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,110
OK, Alpha-075,
I have new vectors for you.
14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,680
We're sending you to RAF
Coningsby.
15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,237
No, we won't make that.
...need to land.
16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,469
Yeah, look, that's
exactly what I said to them.
17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,756
We don't have the officers or...
18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,877
Jesus Christ!
19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,832
A plane just flew over really
low but I can't see any lights.
20
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,839
- You're smoking.
- No.
21
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,431
- Why can't you vape?
- Oh, real men don't vape.
22
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,512
Mm. Where's your
Protection Officer?
23
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,750
Oh, risk is part of smoking.
24
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,096
Take that out,
what have you got?
25
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Lymph nodes?
26
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,953
I called James.
He's just coming.
27
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,277
So, er, can I go to the party?
28
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,556
As long as we can video you
milly-rocking.
29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,736
You think I don't know
what that is, right?
30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,830
He doesn't, really.
31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,918
We don't really do parties,
anyway.
32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,078
Oh, really? What do you call
them now then?
33
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,311
- Just a few friends coming round.
- Yeah.
34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,920
For tea and biscuits.
35
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,356
Yeah, well, enjoy yourselves,
you deserve it.
36
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,838
I love you. Call me later.
Bye, Georgia.
37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,552
Fascist scum!
Hey, Sutherland, resign!
38
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,150
Yes. Make that move.
39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,515
Bye, Mrs Sutherland!
40
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,636
You sure?
41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,076
Been a long time coming.
What about the other issue?
42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,992
Still waiting for an update
from Fraser.
43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,714
OK, I'm on my way.
44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,190
OK. I'll call you as soon
as I hear anything.
45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,517
Dan? I want an immediate update
if there's any evidence
46
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,711
of panic-buying
at the petrol stations.
47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,356
Anna.
48
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,152
You didn't answer my letters.
49
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,471
They didn't deserve an answer.
50
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,432
Mum?
51
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,435
Please go.
52
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,872
You don't even want to know
what happened?
53
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,280
No.
54
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,232
Mum, who's this guy?
Is he hassling you?
55
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,834
It's fine. He's just going.
56
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,876
Come on, come inside. Come on!
57
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,794
X5.
58
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,315
And another one.
59
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,795
I'll let them know.
60
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,631
- Anna.
- Multiple X5s.
61
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,395
- Right. Do we know...
- And that's all we've got.
62
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,309
But we've gone from moderate
to significant threat
63
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,113
and we're informing
all Gold Commanders.
64
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,079
I'll tell the Prime Minister.
65
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Anna.
66
00:05:15,641 --> 00:05:18,759
Multiple X5s. We've gone
to significant threat.
67
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,797
They could be heading our way.
68
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,552
Convene a full COBRA
for the morning.
69
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,315
♪ It's strange but I don't need
space from you ♪
70
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,952
♪ And every single thing you do,
I like ♪
71
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,673
♪ And I've been chaste ♪
72
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,278
♪ Maybe I just knew
I had to wait for you ♪
73
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,034
So, shall I be Mum?
74
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,913
I've never done it
like this before.
75
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,829
Oh, it's cool.
76
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,440
You know, I might just drop
a couple of downers.
77
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,270
No, no, later, babe, honestly.
78
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,717
Trust me, it's like you're
riding down a river on a swan.
79
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:23,953
It just takes the edge
off everything.
80
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,480
Here.
81
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:30,280
Cheers.
82
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,629
Oh...
83
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,711
- Dominic Knight's on the way.
- Great, thanks.
84
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,071
Hey, Anna,
you wanted to see me?
85
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,154
- It wasn't me.
- It was you.
86
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,120
- I didn't...
- You did.
87
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,833
I did an interview a while back.
88
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,256
"What's the most
important function
89
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,794
of being the PM's
Chief of Staff?"
90
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,553
Do you know what
I was tempted to say?
91
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,040
Knowing where the nearest toilet
is at all times.
92
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,594
Sure,
there's the strategic input
93
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,393
the diary management,
controlling access
94
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,336
but really it comes down
to making sure he always
95
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,953
has somewhere to take a piss.
96
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,398
You don't get to choose
your level of loyalty
97
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,437
when you work at this address.
98
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,871
We have a COBRA
on the solar threat at 11.
99
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,998
And you have until
the end of the day
100
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,554
to draft your
resignation letter.
101
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,677
You cannot...
That is outrageous.
102
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,955
You're quite right.
103
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,550
You don't need all day
for such a short letter.
104
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,639
Two hours should be plenty.
Er, have it done by lunch.
105
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,791
The civil servants are waiting,
we should be going.
106
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Oh, and Dominic...
107
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,033
You can leave
by the public entrance.
108
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,635
Queen takes Knight.
109
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,758
We should expect
a counter-attack.
110
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,311
Don't worry, got the next move
all planned out.
111
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,672
Peter will brief the press
112
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,520
that the threat level's been
raised to significant.
113
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,915
All the petrol stations
seem to be working.
114
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,311
There's no sign of panic yet.
115
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,231
That's cos people don't know
what to panic about.
116
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,709
Morning, Archie.
117
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,156
Fuck that!
118
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,512
Have you just sacked
Dominic Knight?
119
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,016
Shouldn't it be,
"Fuck that, Prime Minister"?
120
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,759
You should have
talked to me first.
121
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,200
I really don't think
that's part of
122
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,736
my constitutional obligations,
actually.
123
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,480
You know how it looks.
Dom's closely identified with me.
124
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:28,960
Don't go there, Archie
125
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,317
or I'm gonna be forced to ask
who gave him the nod
126
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,596
to brief against a policy
he helped devise.
127
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,634
They're ready for us now.
128
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,270
Oh, I'm sorry, Lady Macbeth
129
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,552
I didn't spot you lurking there
for one delightful moment.
130
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,109
That might work,
if I was his wife.
131
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:46,790
Never too late.
132
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,556
So which
virtue-signalling ponce
133
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,393
has been lined up
to replace him?
134
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,160
I have a couple of ideas.
135
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,229
Francine Bridge was one thought
that occurred to me.
136
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,672
We'll have to chat
about that one.
137
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,953
Now...
As you are already aware
138
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,512
this morning, the threat
from extreme space weather
139
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,069
was raised from moderate
to significant.
140
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,835
There is some uncertainty
as to the impact zone
141
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,832
but the UK is certainly at risk.
142
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,636
I'll now hand over
to the Chief Scientific Officer.
143
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,792
Er, yes, as I briefed
the Director
144
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,793
of the Civil Contingencies
Secretariat last night
145
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,271
the Met Office has been seeing
fairly significant activity
146
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,272
on the eastern side of the sun.
147
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,796
But we've planned
for all this though.
148
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,800
There was the seminar you did
at the Home Office.
149
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,997
What was it called again,
the last bad one
150
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,160
- a couple of centuries back?
- The Carrington Event.
151
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:00,356
And a few telegraph operators
got singed eyebrows, right?
152
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,799
The point is though,
Home Secretary
153
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,236
as I am sure you'll recall
from my presentation
154
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,880
that our technologies
are much more sophisticated now.
155
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,599
The impact
of a similar-sized storm
156
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,994
will be considerably worse.
157
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,470
OK, but it's not
a great big meteorite
158
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,273
or the sun suddenly blowing up.
159
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,953
It's neither of those scenarios
160
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,635
and I shall be making the press
very aware of that later.
161
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,315
Be great if we could all
stay on message on this one.
162
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,392
Well, I have a bottle
of Lagavulin
163
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,550
with the Foreign Secretary
164
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,836
this will all go the way
it normally does.
165
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,231
I am sure we are all hugely
reassured by that, Archie.
166
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,696
Now, perhaps we could pick up
the thread in terms of
167
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,790
practical implications
168
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,475
just in case the shark actually
is in the water.
169
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,750
Like the last time.
170
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,439
Of course, Prime Minister.
171
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,831
Stage One of a bad solar storm
would knock out satellites
172
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,877
potentially destabilising
all transport
173
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,030
and navigational systems.
174
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,840
I understand that aviation
is the biggest concern?
175
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,230
Yes. There are real
worries over flight safety
176
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,760
after a serious
particle blizzard.
177
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,519
But Stage Two is potentially
178
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:56,994
the most disruptive part.
179
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,117
The storm will almost certainly
180
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,238
release several blasts of plasma
into space.
181
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,800
And if one of these
reaches Earth
182
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,714
it could cause huge damage
to the power supply
183
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,359
through voltage instability
184
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,079
and transformer damage
on the network.
185
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,516
Some areas could be
without power for months.
186
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,512
The National Grid
begs to differ.
187
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,416
They think it could be
restricted to a couple of
188
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,590
remote areas.
189
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:20,149
And it could.
We just don't really know
190
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,634
and neither do they.
191
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,317
But even one day without power
192
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,960
is enough to drive
most people insane
193
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,192
and do huge damage
to the economy.
194
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,796
Think of the impact of weeks
or even months.
195
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,356
When are we gonna know
whether all or any of this
196
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,360
is gonna happen?
197
00:12:36,361 --> 00:12:38,353
We expect to see
more large flares
198
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,039
on the visible face of the sun.
199
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,589
The Met Office are monitoring
for plasma launches.
200
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,559
But even then,
it would have to come our way
201
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,039
and even then there would still
be one critical variable left.
202
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,112
Does the incoming plasma field
203
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,876
have a north or south
magnetic orientation?
204
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,193
Which is the one we don't want?
205
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,796
Hot South, bad.
Frozen North, harmless.
206
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,794
The probability
is absolutely 50/50.
207
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,918
The plasma eruption could
have very little impact at all
208
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,239
or it could be
extremely serious.
209
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,596
When do we know? For certain?
210
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,240
So once released,
it could take up to two days
211
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,119
to cover the 90 million miles
from sun to Earth.
212
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,396
But we'll only know
if we're Hot South
213
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,632
when it passes our satellite
at the L1 point.
214
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,996
That's about one million
miles from Earth.
215
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,753
Do the math, Archie.
216
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,519
Last time I tried that in public
217
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,751
Eddie Mair made a bit of
a twat out of me.
218
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,991
Half an hour.
219
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,120
Correct.
220
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,556
There will be just 30 minutes
before we know
221
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,871
if this storm will fuse
a few kettles
222
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,073
or send us back
to the Stone Age.
223
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,118
Archie's face
was a picture
224
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,560
when you told that
brilliant joke
225
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,991
about Francine Bridge as the new
head of the policy unit.
226
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:00,789
Great timing as well
227
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,999
just before we go into
the briefing room
228
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,391
leaving him no time to respond
to your hilarious quip.
229
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,715
I believe that expression is
called "what the actual fuck"
230
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,076
by the young people who
have abandoned our party
231
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,236
in their droves.
232
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,558
- You weren't joking, were you?
- No.
233
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,440
What the actual fuck, Anna?
234
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,637
She's brilliant.
She's unemployed.
235
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,474
- Did I mention young people?
- She was a Labour MP.
236
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,560
Yes, but...
237
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,439
Why does everybody
assume all people under 20
238
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,513
are transgender vegans who
only care about tuition fees?
239
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,760
If you only ever take
one piece of advice from me
240
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,757
it is never make
jokes about gender.
241
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,911
People literally
lose their shit over it.
242
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,680
- How about vegans?
- Stick to what you know.
243
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,376
Can we not just start moving
244
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,073
replacement transformers
in advance?
245
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,080
Have you ever seen
a transformer?
246
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,720
They're not small, you know.
247
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,554
- OK. In awe at the size of...
- Absolute unit.
248
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,512
The sun is not
going to explode.
249
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,196
There are no fireballs
or meteorites.
250
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,910
It is an invisible geomagnetic
storm that could disrupt things.
251
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,594
We have measures in place.
252
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,877
Please, please, please,
please, please...
253
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,758
Pretty fucking please...
254
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,639
Report this responsibly.
255
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,431
So what time exactly
does the sun explode?
256
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,513
I will brief you again if the
threat level moves to serious.
257
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,272
Move the security meeting
with The Crab
258
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,152
back to 11:30, please.
259
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,600
Well, they stockpiled CS gas
and baton rounds
260
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,160
for the last false alarm.
261
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,080
Wait, Ed, don't hang up,
I've got Dom Knight calling.
262
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,675
Dom? Oh, for God's sake.
263
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,916
Are you there, Dom?
264
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,278
Ah, good, never trust
this hold and accept malarkey.
265
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,472
Oh, you bet we'll meet later.
266
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,120
Don't worry,
I'm not taking this lying down.
267
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,075
Look, my daughter
spends most of her time
268
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,436
signing petitions
on social media
269
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,236
and my son sings that stupid
lefty chant in the bath.
270
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,154
To them,
we're still the nasty party.
271
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,632
We hate animals and refugees
whilst favouring tax dodgers.
272
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,518
Our party does contain
people like that
273
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,914
we can't just wish them away
274
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,514
or Archie would not
be Home Secretary
275
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,432
Which brings me
to Francine Bridge.
276
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,310
She isn't a member
of her party any longer.
277
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,232
She even resigned her seat
in parliament.
278
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,160
OK, but there's
still one massive problem.
279
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,976
- I know what you're gonna say.
- No, you don't.
280
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,600
You're going to say,
none of this matters
281
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,074
because she won't accept.
282
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,639
OK, that is
what I was gonna say.
283
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,076
It's a problem,
it's not an insurmountable one.
284
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,356
Leave it with me. I'm meeting
her for a drink later.
285
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,896
Met Office has just seen
286
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,754
a massive solar flare
with multiple plasma launches.
287
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,136
We need to raise
the threat level to serious
288
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,038
and recall COBRA immediately.
289
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,679
So, having analysed the data,
we can now confirm
290
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,672
that a high-speed
plasma eruption
291
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:40,915
is heading straight for us.
292
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,160
When does it arrive?
293
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,431
It depends on whether
it maintains current speed
294
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,755
so we can't say for certain.
295
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,392
They're currently estimating
sometime late tomorrow afternoon
296
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,953
with a margin for error
of about five hours.
297
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,875
Meantime, we do already have
an immediate impact on planes.
298
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,078
We're getting reports
of avionics issues
299
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,560
like false warnings
300
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,398
and autopilots suddenly
disconnecting.
301
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,040
Isn't that why we still have
real pilots on board?
302
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:09,112
It is, Home Secretary, although
303
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,557
when an Air France crew faced a
similar scenario some years ago
304
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,391
they hit the ocean
15 minutes later.
305
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,753
"The glide paths at two
French airports have failed.
306
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,672
They need to divert traffic
our way."
307
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,991
Can't they go to their pals
in Germany?
308
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,879
You voted to leave the EU,
Archie, not the human race.
309
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,277
Well, it's fairly obvious
what the issue is here.
310
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:34,919
Do we ground all flights?
311
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,317
That would have a very high
cost, both human and financial.
312
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,880
Department of Biz is opposed.
313
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:44,191
I trust you all remember
the ash cloud.
314
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:46,829
If the situation in
the air is manageable
315
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,596
and its Frozen North,
then this is as bad as it gets.
316
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,359
In which case, we should just
wait until morning.
317
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,311
Grounding all flights
has real human impacts
318
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,551
and indirect danger to life.
319
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,196
This is a hard decision,
but we do have to decide
320
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,879
as there's no
middle ground here.
321
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,635
Flights will remain operational
until we have more information.
322
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,150
It's the right decision.
323
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,272
Keep me updated
on the plasma eruption.
324
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,616
I'm gonna stay here until
we know if it's North or South
325
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,976
so you guys should
probably just...
326
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,229
We'll stay, too.
327
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,536
We'll take it in turns to sleep.
328
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,359
OK, well, we could be
here for a while, so...
329
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,796
I need to pop out for an hour.
330
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,073
Need to make sure Mabel's OK.
331
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,478
It's my dad's dog. Cockapoo.
332
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,478
Staying with me while
he's in the care home.
333
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,996
How is the old man?
334
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,197
Well, he thinks
the Home Secretary
335
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,039
should lead the country so
possible early stage dementia.
336
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,480
I need to speak
to the hospital social worker
337
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,034
but I haven't had a second.
338
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,116
Do you need anything?
339
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,515
- Get some food in a bit later?
- Pizza or curry?
340
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,035
Pizza. Something with
loads of anchovies.
341
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,117
- I thought for a minute...
- Me too.
342
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,520
- Did you ever meet his ex-wife?
- Uh-uh.
343
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,876
More Dobermann than Cockapoo.
He's better off with Mabel.
344
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:24,636
- So, will you do it?
- Of course I won't.
345
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,599
Doesn't have to be
Policy and Research.
346
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,592
You can have any job title
you please.
347
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,876
Er, Chief Adviser
to the Duchy of Narnia.
348
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,793
What do we really disagree on?
349
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,996
Corporation tax.
Public services.
350
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,549
The unquestionable superiority
of Western values.
351
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,634
- I've seen the alternatives.
- Also, you're not your party.
352
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,473
And you would answer only to me.
353
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:48,360
I can't.
354
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,437
I got badly burned in the split.
I just want...
355
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,799
What all normal people want.
Respect. Trust. Decency.
356
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,230
And a bit of help with
the school fees, of course.
357
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,311
Just... Universal Credit
doesn't cover that, right?
358
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,392
You are such an operator.
359
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,878
You still getting flak
for going private?
360
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,960
Yes.
361
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,079
I didn't change my principles,
Anna.
362
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,594
He got threatened
with bloody acid
363
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,936
by kids who weren't
messing about.
364
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,336
You don't have to convince me.
I believe in choice, remember?
365
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:21,760
Yeah, but I don't really.
366
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,633
Plus it's not choice,
it's purchasing power.
367
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,554
That's part of choice
once you've paid your tax.
368
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,630
See, I don't need us
to agree on everything.
369
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,030
I just want somebody
who's not an arsehole
370
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:35,349
and that I can trust.
371
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,356
Ever think you might have chosen
the wrong career?
372
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,200
No.
373
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,039
Don't be fooled, Mabel.
I hate and despise you.
374
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,472
The sooner I'm on my own
again the better.
375
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,196
Heather, it's me.
376
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,896
You've probably seen on the
news about the possible
377
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,070
power complications.
378
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,230
Take them seriously.
379
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,039
Get yourself a wind-up radio...
380
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,791
plenty of food and water,
extra fuel for the car.
381
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,152
In spite of your
successful attempts
382
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,709
to destroy my relationship
with the kids
383
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:41,795
I love them very much.
384
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,598
Might be difficult
over the next few weeks
385
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,909
so prepare yourselves.
386
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,318
The situation in Paris
is causing chaos.
387
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:58,840
They're sending more
and more our way.
388
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,600
We're running out of slots.
389
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,315
A couple of flights
have declared fuel emergencies.
390
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:10,112
...five...
I don't know where I am...
391
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,834
They're still getting false
alerts and losing comms.
392
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,736
Some of them are getting so
confused, they don't even know
393
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,991
- where they are anymore.
- Try and prioritise.
394
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,150
It's all we can do.
395
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,196
We're treating this
as a rising tide level
396
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,870
of emergency, insofar as we
have a level of advance warning
397
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,110
of the threat involved.
398
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,680
But at the same time
399
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,673
I'm afraid we also have
very little guidance from London
400
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,479
as to what, if anything
401
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,552
is actually going to happen
tomorrow.
402
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,155
If the worst does happen,
and we are without power
403
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,640
for a lengthy period of time
404
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,519
I'll chair and host Gold Command
405
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,995
from the Royal Northumberland
Hospital near Hexham.
406
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,039
Our main priorities
will be maintaining healthcare
407
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,471
ensuring protection
for the vulnerable
408
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,758
safeguarding key sites
and essential fuel supplies
409
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,436
while maintaining law and order.
410
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,599
Perhaps our biggest challenge
411
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,957
will be getting vital staff
to their places of work.
412
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,157
Now, you all have a copy of
the civil emergencies guidelines
413
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,472
but I imagine you will also
have some questions?
414
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,234
One at a time, please.
415
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,880
How real is
the threat from the solar storm?
416
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,070
Oh, it's real.
417
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,856
They've convened
my Local Resilience Forum
418
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,840
for the morning.
419
00:23:20,841 --> 00:23:22,991
Might only cause
minor disruption.
420
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,995
Good chance of nothing at all.
421
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,076
So, funny thing has happened.
422
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,437
Funny ha-ha or funny peculiar?
423
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,470
When I was reporting in Bosnia,
there was a local translator
424
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,756
working for the UN forces
around Tuzla.
425
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,792
His sister was in Visegrad
426
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,076
and when the local Serbs
took that town
427
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,636
that was not a good place
to be a young woman.
428
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,994
Nowhere is during war.
429
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,800
Visegrad was hell.
430
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,799
Stuff went on there that...
431
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,616
It's why I can't tolerate people
who take what we have
432
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:06,676
for granted.
433
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,076
So, what happened?
434
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,790
He went to look for her
and he just vanished.
435
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,149
I never saw him again.
436
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,710
Until now.
437
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,149
- He's turned up?
- Literally on my doorstep.
438
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,669
Did he find his sister?
439
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,156
I don't know.
440
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,360
We haven't spoken properly.
441
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,113
But you're going to, right?
442
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:40,440
It was so long ago.
443
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,596
Oh, come and work with me.
What larks!
444
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,519
Yeah, that is not
going to happen.
445
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:53,430
There will categorically
be no larks.
446
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,159
Yes, there will!
447
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,277
I want a secure
video link to all police
448
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Gold Commanders.
449
00:24:58,241 --> 00:25:00,675
We also need to ensure
that all essential staff
450
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,274
can be brought
to places of work.
451
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,716
I'll get back to you.
452
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,757
Uh, Air Traffic Control
are reporting a mayday
453
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,877
from a diverted flight
from Malaga to Oslo.
454
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,758
Up until ten minutes ago,
it had contact
455
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,040
but now they've lost all comms.
456
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:14,873
OK, well, where was this plane
re-routed to?
457
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,912
Newcastle.
They're assuming it's close to...
458
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,992
Let's not make assumptions
when it comes to large
459
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,256
metal objects full of jet fuel.
460
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,397
That's the problem though.
It's not full of jet fuel.
461
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,199
They think he's running
on fumes.
462
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,229
Get me Bob Jones at NATS.
463
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,720
Patch him over
to the briefing room.
464
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,836
OK, Alpha-075,
do you want to divert?
465
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,956
Please respond, Alpha-075.
466
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,436
I'm declaring a fuel emergency.
467
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,478
I repeat. A fuel emergency.
468
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,552
Alpha-075, how many souls
do you have on board
469
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,034
and what's your current
fuel status?
470
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,073
295 souls on board.
471
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,594
Current fuel status
is half an hour.
472
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,719
We spent too long over France.
We won't make Newcastle.
473
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,680
Believe me, Dominic,
I did everything in my power.
474
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,479
I begged him not to do it.
475
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,316
I told him it would come back
to haunt him.
476
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,394
Oh, it will.
477
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:08,237
Served deep-frozen.
478
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,800
And that total bitch,
Anna Marshall.
479
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,634
Well, they were both in the
Tory Reform Group at Balliol.
480
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,319
You were at Christ Church,
weren't you?
481
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,834
No, I was at Oriel.
482
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,595
Rumours they had
a bit of a thing once.
483
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,196
I mean, let's be fair,
she's a handsome woman.
484
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,670
- I mean, you definitely would.
- LAUGHS Well...
485
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,519
So, who are they
replacing me with?
486
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,956
She mentioned Francine Bridge.
487
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,477
You've got to be
fucking kidding me.
488
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,871
I'd be surprised if even Robert
lets her go ahead with that one.
489
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:50,157
When are you gonna
make your move, Archie?
490
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,273
Well, you know what they say
about shooting the king...
491
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,716
We've picked him up
again. He's over Lincolnshire.
492
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,393
He won't make it
to Newcastle now.
493
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,199
There must be somewhere
he can land?
494
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,080
One of the RAF bases.
Coningsby if necessary.
495
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,396
How about Coningsby?
496
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,951
OK, Alpha-075,
I have new vectors for you.
497
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,759
We're sending you
to RAF Coningsby.
498
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,036
No, we won't
make that... need to land...
499
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,950
Yeah, look, that's
exactly what I said to them.
500
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:30,919
We don't have the officers...
501
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,474
Jesus Christ!
502
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:38,079
A plane just went over really
low but I can't see any lights.
503
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,920
Oh, my God.
504
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,991
I think he crashed
into the motorway.
505
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:10,680
Fuck.
506
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,078
This is Chief Constable Collier.
507
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,917
We've got an emergency on the A1
just past Newton Aycliffe.
508
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,870
A plane has crashed on the road.
509
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,351
OK, we need to declare
a major incident.
510
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,714
- Help, please!
- Sir...
511
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,114
Sir, help's on its way, OK?
Help's coming.
512
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,071
Ma'am, help is coming.
513
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,276
- Help is on its way, OK?
- My baby!
514
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,592
Your baby?
I'll find her, don't worry.
515
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,990
Por favor!
516
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,115
Where is she? Where is she?
Do you know?
517
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,239
I'll find her, don't worry.
518
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,113
Don't worry,
I'm gonna find her, OK?
519
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,350
It's gonna be OK.
520
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,717
I can hear her,
I can hear her, it's OK.
521
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,316
Right, I can see her!
522
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,716
It's OK. I've got her down!
She's OK!
523
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,715
Please... please...
524
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,280
My baby, please!
525
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,830
She's here.
526
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,320
OK, thanks. Where in Portugal?
527
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,711
That's good of you.
I really appreciate it.
528
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,875
Yeah, bye.
529
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,309
What does "Tuzla" mean?
530
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,717
Tuzla. It's in Bosnia.
531
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,393
Yeah, just you... Go ahead.
532
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,873
Mm, not bad.
533
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,191
This was my favourite thing.
534
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,438
Oh, that tastes of being young.
535
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,710
So, is the sun gonna blow up?
536
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,113
No. Dad's flight's
been diverted to Portugal.
537
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,557
- Then what?
- Then... I don't know.
538
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,616
He'll have to wait until it's
safe to fly again, I suppose.
539
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,359
Funny how it all happens
when you lot
540
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,716
- fall behind in the polls again.
- Hello to you, too.
541
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,514
Actually, it's because we're
about to invade Venezuela.
542
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,560
You won't read about that
in the mainstream media.
543
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,710
They've got oil.
544
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,077
Yeah, they're also eating
dead cats.
545
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,673
Look, I might have to stay up
in town a few nights this week
546
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,480
just until this fake news
blows over.
547
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,800
Spoon!
548
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,560
Yep.
549
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,275
Oh, God. Where?
550
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,599
- Are there any survivors?
- Dad?
551
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,393
No, it's fine,
it's not his plane.
552
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,670
Yep, go on.
553
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,751
So they're bringing
the rest of the planes
554
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,917
to the nearest available
landing points.
555
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,277
So far, no further incidents.
556
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,911
If only we'd grounded
the planes...
557
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,560
It would have made
no difference at all.
558
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,312
The plane was already
in the air.
559
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,274
It crashed because the sun took
out the glide paths in France
560
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,919
or it would've landed safely.
561
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,353
You made the right decision
for the right reasons.
562
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Funny feeling that's not
how others will see it.
563
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,557
Well, we're not others though,
are we?
564
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,792
We're the ones
who have to make the decisions
565
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,838
while others talk about them
in pubs.
566
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,352
Keep me updated on casualties.
567
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,040
- Hi, darling.
- Mum!
568
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,599
Mum, it's Georgia,
I'm at the hospital
569
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,672
and they can't bring her round,
Mum.
570
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,150
She's not breathing,
it's a nightmare!
571
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,114
Ellie, Ellie, just calm down,
calm down.
572
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,480
What happened?
573
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,672
We've been up all night, Mum,
we were taking stuff...
574
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,016
What are you talking about?
What kind of stuff?
575
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,953
Oh, God, Mum, it's all my fault!
576
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,910
Mum, it's all my fault.
577
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,398
Robert! Ellie, listen to me.
578
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:35,393
You need to keep it together
579
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,559
and I don't want you
to speak to anyone.
580
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,279
- OK.
- Alright, sweetheart?
581
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,160
I love you and I'll be there
as soon as I can.
582
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,677
OK. I love you, bye.
583
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,960
God...
584
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,116
What's happened?
585
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,035
Ellie's friend Georgia
is in a coma.
586
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,160
- What?
- Drugs.
587
00:34:59,161 --> 00:35:01,471
They've been up all night
doing drugs after graduation.
588
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:05,077
Christ. She's OK though?
Ellie's not...?
589
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,159
- She's in bits.
- Oh, God, poor kid.
590
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,869
The Met Office
say the CME's trajectory
591
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,149
is faster than anticipated.
592
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,312
I don't have a fucking clue
what that means.
593
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,153
It means I have to
reconvene COBRA.
594
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,915
Our daughter is in trouble,
Robert! We...
595
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,080
Look.
596
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,677
We've got a plane crashed
on the A1...
597
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,793
we have a solar storm that could
wipe out our power supply.
598
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,120
I just don't have time for this.
599
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,200
OK, I'll go and get her.
Leave it with me, go on.
600
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,273
I'll text you with any news.
601
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,154
I'll have Peter Mott come
first thing in the morning.
602
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,640
He has to be across this.
603
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,831
Yeah, that would be a really
good idea.
604
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,073
Leave it with us. It'll be OK.
605
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,800
It'll be OK.
606
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,556
Accident
investigators are a t the site
607
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,757
of yesterday's tragedy
on the A1.
608
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,016
There has been speculation that
the crash was caused
609
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,999
by a particle blizzard,
associated with the solar storm
610
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,311
and fears are mounting
that it is just the start
611
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,320
of the full blown chaos...
612
00:36:28,321 --> 00:36:30,321
OK, so we're going to
set up the strategic
613
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,953
command centre at the hospital.
614
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,200
A lot of ghouls are trying
to get to the site
615
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:35,240
and blocking B roads.
616
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,119
What's the status
with the survivors?
617
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,715
The pilot did pretty well
and saved the majority.
618
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,236
Er, current fatality count
is 25.
619
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,036
That's expected to rise
but not significantly.
620
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,754
We have 17 in intensive care,
six of them are touch and go.
621
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,196
The rest are mostly
multiple fractures.
622
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,991
We have three burns victims
from cars the plane hit.
623
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,636
I, er...
624
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,911
I picked a baby
out of the wreckage.
625
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,880
The dad is in an induced coma
626
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,876
and his mum's about to have
an operation on her back
627
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,156
to see if they can stop her
from being paralysed.
628
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,680
It really wouldn't be a great
time to lose power right now.
629
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,230
OK, Stuart.
630
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:52,840
OK, first things first
631
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,633
tell her not to say a word
to anybody
632
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:56,313
until I've spoken to her.
Right?
633
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,160
Going the wrong way,
aren't you, Peter?
634
00:37:58,240 --> 00:37:59,240
Always, Archie.
635
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:02,310
I'm on my way.
636
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,080
Stuart Collier's
the Police Gold in Hexham.
637
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,311
Mm, he's good.
Young, but level-headed.
638
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,256
The main problem is
getting the medical staff
639
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,237
around the road blockage
caused by the plane.
640
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,440
OK.
641
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,240
I'm not spying
642
00:38:17,241 --> 00:38:19,197
I just don't want him
signing petitions online.
643
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,080
Yep.
644
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,840
Where's the Prime Minister?
645
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,880
He's on his way over from No 10.
646
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,473
A word to the wise, Anna.
647
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,519
As you know, I have the highest
admiration for you.
648
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,600
Get on with it.
649
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,153
I don't care how far
you two go back
650
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,510
or how much you feel
the party needs a makeover.
651
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,432
Put Francine Bridge
in the Policy Unit
652
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,795
even making the coffee
653
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,599
and I will give you a lesson
in payback
654
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,199
you will not forget in a hurry.
655
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,798
Thanks, Archie,
and in similar spirit
656
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,752
get your hand off my arm
and back the fuck off.
657
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,856
I'm not some little volunteer
you can get handsy with
658
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,280
on the battle bus.
659
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,191
You just crossed a line, Anna.
660
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,116
When he goes
661
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,759
which will be sooner
than you think
662
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,997
he will at least be able to do
some lucrative
663
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,800
after-dinner speaking.
You, on the other hand
664
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,399
won't be able to
get yourself arrested.
665
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,520
I am feeling both positive
and patriotic this morning.
666
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,109
I've got a feeling I'm gonna be
a bottle of Scotch to the good
667
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,634
by the end of this meeting.
668
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,434
Better find out, hadn't we?
669
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,317
There are two possible impacts
on the grid when the storm hits.
670
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,790
The first is voltage
instability.
671
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,750
Now, we need that to stay
running at 50 hertz.
672
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,437
If it goes a couple of points
above or below
673
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:39,749
we'll start getting trips.
674
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,274
The other problem is burn-out
damage to transformers
675
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,035
if the power from the storm
surges into the network.
676
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,430
OK, Prime Minister,
we're pretty close to getting
677
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,755
the orientation now.
678
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,436
We're getting the data from
the satellite position at L1.
679
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,509
I'm afraid the news is not
680
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,358
what we were hoping for,
Prime Minister.
681
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,515
We can expect a massive
geomagnetic storm surge
682
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:12,670
in the coming hours.
683
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,800
It's Hot South.
684
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,914
There goes my Lagavulin.
685
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:20,960
Upgrade threat level
to Critical...
686
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,416
- Here comes the sun.
- ...and get me Evan Milligan
687
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,440
from the Grid.
688
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,798
A major incident
has been declared
689
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:29,876
at this hospital.
690
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,032
We are receiving
multiple casualties.
691
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,472
Non-urgent cases
will not be seen
692
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,194
and you should await
instructions
693
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,953
on transfers to other sites.
694
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:39,960
Thank you for your patience.
695
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,080
Bollocks.
696
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,796
That's not good.
697
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,073
The emergency generators
are detecting
698
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,520
the voltage instability.
699
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,400
Do we have a direct link to the
National Grid command centre?
700
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,856
I think they're just
a little bit busy
701
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:18,916
down there right now.
702
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,714
OK, uh, early evidence
is that coastal areas
703
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,554
have taken a massive hit
and this is just the start.
704
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,276
The surges will just keep coming
like tsunamis.
705
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,714
What about the rest
of the world?
706
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,076
No clear picture as yet
707
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,470
although early reports say that
708
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,515
France and Spain are almost
totally blacked out.
709
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,113
Three transformers are out
already and that's set to rise.
710
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:44,516
The entire system
is on the brink of collapse
711
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,354
and blackouts are now imminent
across all major cities.
712
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,479
I'm sorry to say that
the power of this storm
713
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,155
is far worse than even
our most pessimistic forecast.
714
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,639
I will now speak to the Palace
715
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,070
so that Her Majesty can
authorise the necessary powers
716
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,039
under the 2004
Civil Contingencies Act.
717
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,237
This is now a national emergency
718
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,996
and COBRA will remain active
till its conclusion.
719
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,400
Anna, it's me.
720
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:27,757
I've been giving it some
thought. Call me back.
