The sun is not
going to explode.

There are no fireballs
or meteorites.

It is an invisible geomagnetic
storm that could disrupt things.

Mayday, mayday.

Stage one
of a bad solar storm

would knock out satellites,
potentially destabilising

all transport
and navigational systems.

Our daughter is in trouble,
Robert!

It's Georgia.
They can't bring her round.

She's not breathing.

I just don't have time for this.

Anna.

His sister was in Visegrad.

Not a good place to be
a young woman.

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

Jesus Christ!

Air Traffic Control
are reporting a mayday

from a diverted flight
from Malaga to Oslo.

They think he's running
on fumes.

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

We can expect a massive
geomagnetic storm surge

in the coming hours.

This is now
a national emergency

and COBRA will remain active
till its conclusion.

This is your
Local Resilience Forum.

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

Emergency services
are operating at full capacity

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

Unofficial reports
have confirmed

that four super transformers
on the electricity grid

have been burned out.

Major cities including London

are also in chaos...

...claimed its first casualties

with two people killed in a
collision caused by faulty...

The government
has invoked the 2004

Civil Contingencies Act

which allows it to limit
freedom of movement...

Authorities say
that some of the blackouts

are more serious than others.

Four regions:
North Wales, East Scotland

Cornwall and Northumberland

have suffered major damage
to their infrastructure.

- You OK, Fraser?
- Aye, yeah.

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

but their phone system
must be wireless.

He called me just before
the mobile masts went down.

- Is he alright?
- Oh, he's fine.

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

Good evening, everyone.

Now, I have spoken
to Her Majesty

and informed her of the measures
I intend to take

under the emergency legislation.

These will include
travel restrictions

to and from the worst
affected areas

which I will use the Army
to enforce.

I'm also enabling
special tribunals

in the case of civil disorder.

MI5 are
monitoring the situation.

I'll give the Home Secretary
a security briefing

right after this COBRA.

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

We've drawn up
a contingency plan

which you should all have.

- Fraser?
- OK.

Right now, our biggest problem
is that emergency staff

cannot get to their
places of work

and all the navigational systems
are out.

The map shows the worst
affected areas

colour coded
according to severity.

Why are the big conurbations
not showing?

London, Birmingham,
Manchester?

Well, unlike the coastal nodes

we're hoping that most of
the major cities

will be fixed
within the next 48 hours.

As for the rest...

How long does
transformer replacement take?

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

- Weeks?
- And those are the lucky ones.

Four badly hit areas but only
three spare transformers.

- Then...
- Tough choices.

One area is gonna be
left behind.

If anybody's gonna be
Puerto Rico here

it's Wales, right?

I might remind
the Home Secretary

that I'm very proud
of my Welsh ancestry.

I apologise to the
Head of Intelligence

for my poor attempt
at gallows humour

at a difficult moment.

Well, there's no doubt
of its difficulty.

Could be months before
we're back on our feet

and even then, the economic
costs are incalculable.

But we can get through this

if we remain strong
and stay together.

My biggest concern
right now is keeping

the hospital running

so we can care for
the plane crash injuries.

OK.

We've got a helicopter coming
with blood and medical supplies.

We feel completely
abandoned here.

You're not.

I'm coming with the supplies

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

I'll report directly back
to the PM.

OK.

Thanks, Fraser.
What's it like everywhere else?

Well, in spite of the fears
of social meltdown

it sounds like most people
are out on the streets

having a party
and getting pissed.

This proud island race.

Well, give it a few hours,
some sore heads

and the mood's likely
to change very quickly.

We've also got trouble brewing
at the new

Hadley Brook
Immigration Removal Centre.

Basically,
everything's going wrong here

and I haven't got the staff,
but we'll find a way.

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

Will do.

Ellie's friend is in a coma

after they took drugs together.

There will inevitably
be questions

about the provenance
of the drugs.

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

Any suggestion
that you were in any...

I'm not stupid, Anna.

Now, do you have transport home?

Er, I'm staying at Francine's.
It's just over the river.

- Think she's going to say yes.
- Great.

We can use Archie's rage
to reconnect Cornwall.

Robert.

Is Peter going to...

Is Peter
going to speak to Ellie?

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

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

Didn't you notice
I changed the subject there?

I did,
that's why I changed it back.

Peter's awfully smart but it's
a moot point whether he knows

the difference between
getting all his ducks in a row

and perverting
the course of justice.

I've heard you, Anna.

Now, please, get out of here
before I get cross with you.

- I'll be back in four hours.
- Make it six.

Tired people make bad decisions.

- Chief Constable Collier.
- Come through.

Thank you.

Over a third of
our officers failed to turn up

for their shifts.

Transport system's
in total chaos.

You're gonna have to bus in
extra staff, aren't you?

Look, all our resources are
being directed dealing with

casualties from the plane crash

and trying to keep the hospital
functioning.

Sir, they're piling up
mattresses.

You know what they're gonna
do with them, don't you?

They're gonna set fire to 'em,
use 'em to start a riot.

And we can't control this.

This place is a bomb
waiting to go off.

- I need to get back.
- So you're just gonna leave us?

You're not the only emergency,
Hugh.

This is an absolute clusterfuck.

I hear you
and I'm gonna talk to London

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

Mate, you should keep
your distance

look where you're going!

So what type of drugs
were involved exactly?

OK, so, coke.

But we only had a couple
of grams between us.

Oh, portion control.
That's good.

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

Um, and that was made
from the Fentanyl patches.

And then I think Georgia
took a couple of benzos

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

I don't think it's sensible
right now to start

dividing responsibility up...

- The police are gonna ask her.
- Sure, sure.

So we have a scenario where
Georgia supplied

- some of the drugs...
- No, I didn't say she supplied.

They were hers.

And I suppose the point is
whether anything is really...

The coke, the fentanyl,
all the Class-A stuff

who got hold of that?

Right.

So, what I'm saying here is that

we need to manage this
very carefully

thinking about the long-term
repercuss...

On what?

- On Georgia? Or on Dad's career?
- On everything.

There is no long term
for Georgia.

She's bloody braindead now,
thanks to your utter stupidity.

Robert...

Getting back to the
practicalities of any...

I can't take part
in this conversation.

I think you're absolutely right,
Prime Minister.

You've had a lot on your plate,
so why don't you leave this

to Rachel and me to discuss
with Ellie?

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

Have to make a final decision
on those transformers.

You have to say that Georgia
provided all the drugs.

- No way.
- It's not going to affect her.

It will affect her family,
and it's not true.

Do you want to spend
three years in prison?

Your dad's right about one thing

her life is effectively over.

You do still have some control
over yours though.

So, er, what have we decided?

- Um, we haven't.
- Then we must.

So we come back
to the same issue.

Three transformers
for four regions.

All four crisis zones
are gonna suffer

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

- And in terms of sourcing?
- Most European countries

have replacements.

We do have one on order
from KPG in Germany.

- How long?
- Hopefully, within a week.

In an ideal world, of course.

Do we have a loser yet?

I honestly think Scotland
is a gimme

- and we could toss a coin...
- Tossacoin!

It's a figure of speech, Robert.

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

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

- I agree on Scotland.
- Hm.

The plane crash factor does make
the transportation issue

even harder with the A1 closed,
so...

Northumberland can wait.

Get the rest on the road with
military protection immediately.

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

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

- But in your heart, you believe...
- In public service.

But if it's any consolation

my dad's one of your
biggest fans

and thinks you should be
leading the country.

Oh!

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

with early-stage dementia.

Good man.

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

Keep it up, Fraser.

Even if you do wear
a secret red rose

you're doing an excellent job.

No, the emergency
generator isn't working either.

That's what he's trying to fix.

OK, yeah.

Yeah, he's downstairs now.
Hang on.

I'm looking for
Edin Tosumbegovic.

Oh. Uh, are you his partner?
He said...

Room 505.

I'd give you a key card,
but the doors are not working.

- Stairs are over there.
- Thank you.

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

They'd like you to call
urgently.

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

Landline. Must have got hold
of a non-cordless phone.

- Thanks.
- Mm.

Hi. Thanks.

Hi. Yeah, it's, er,
Fraser Walker.

Sorry about that.
The phones keep going down.

Thank... thanks
for letting me know.

Yep. Thank you.

Anna?

I have an hour.

I never found Emina.

She was seen at
the Vlina Vlas hotel.

That's where the Chetniks...

I know what happened
to women there.

Most of them were barely women.

Now, it's a...

boutique hotel.

Nobody cares what once happened
in those rooms.

You think she was killed there?

There's a witness who says
she was taken

to the bridge over the Drina.

Executed there, and...

thrown into the river.

Why didn't you contact me again?

I went out of my mind.

Your parents would tell me
nothing.

I was captured
just outside Visegrad.

They sent me to a camp.

Afterwards?

Took me a little time
to recover from that experience.

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

And met somebody else.

It wasn't as easy as that.

My parents had lost a daughter
in terrible circumstances.

So you married a Muslim girl
to please them?

Couldn't let them
lose a son as well.

Couldn't break their hearts
all over again.

So you broke mine.

It wasn't a...

particularly happy marriage.

I don't think I made her
very happy.

And where is she now?

She died a little over
a year ago.

Oh, my God. Look.
Look at the sky.

Aurora borealis.

In London?

It's the solar storm.

...Airlines flight LM36
from Malaga has risen to 42.

Now, due to ongoing transport
problems affecting the A1

following that crash

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

Use the RAF to bring
the victims' families up.

Authorities are still struggling
to put a figure

on the number of fatalities

caused by
the nationwide blackout

but current estimates put the
number at between 10 and 15.

Excuse me, sir.

While air crash investigators
are yet to publish

their official verdict

the Ammara Airline crash
is believed to have been caused

by the solar storm's effect
on avionics.

I just got word
from the hospital.

A little while ago,
Georgia's parents agreed

to switch off
her life-support machine.

She's died.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry.

Oh, I'm so, so sorry.

Listen, El...

I'm your father, darling.

And I love you very much.

I know you would never
intentionally hurt anyone.

Georgia made her own choices.

Her poor parents.

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

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

This will pass, OK?

This will pass.

So, she died.

They switched off
the life-support machine.

Takes some of the pressure off
their emergency generators

I suppose.

Even by your standards,
that is remarkably callous.

I'm not terribly sympathetic
to posh druggies.

Normally, there would be
an absolute shitstorm

on the front pages.

Yeah, not a bad time to bury
a potential scandal.

He must be hoping
it will all just go away.

Hm.

What is your interest here?

I am a Russian mole
seeking to engineer

the Prime Minister's resignation

and install puppets
at every level of government.

- But really?
- Oh, really?

I only ever have one interest.

Our national security.

Thank you.

Stuart.

It is complete chaos here.

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

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

Remain calm!

Do not abuse the staff.

We are trying to deal with an
extremely difficult situation.

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

Please try and stay calm...

- See what I'm talking about?
- Yeah.

The situation's getting worse
here minute by minute.

Sorry, just a second.

Do not try
and charge devices

from our power supply.

We are operating
with emergency generators.

Right, look, get back to him
and tell him we'll go over there

as soon as we can.

There's trouble
in the new detention centre.

I have to get down there
and take a look.

I'll ride shotgun with you

if you can get me back here
in an hour?

OK, let's go. This way.

The end of the world!

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

I wasn't, er...

I didn't... plan this.

What, you mean you didn't
purposefully arrange

the northern lights?

Oh, yeah, that I did, but...

No.

Has he been unfaithful to you?

Probably.

I don't ask.

It's not a trade-off.

Do you feel bad?

Not now.

Are you happy together?

- Happy...
- Mm?

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

OK.

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

What if someone recognises me?

Live a little dangerously.
Hide behind me.

For God's sake!

Oh, no!

Help, help! Help!

Help me! Come on!

Somebody!

Help!

Edin...

Help! Help!

Help! Somebody, help!

Help!

- What happened?
- The generator...

It just... it just exploded!

- Hey, easy.
- It just exploded...

It just exploded...

- God, your hands!
- We need to get water on these.

I have to clear out the hotel.
I have to clear the hotel!

No. I have to clear the hotel!

Go! We'reonit.

He's dead. He's dead...

OK. We need to go.

Come on!

Come on!

So how will they get
the replacement transformer

through the site
of the plane crash?

There is no
replacement transformer.

Not yet anyway.

Wait, it could take weeks
to get installed

but there isn't even
one on the way?

There were only three spares
for four regions.

We had to make some
tough decisions.

Fuck me!

They're exploring
all the options.

You better bring guns next time

because this is just
one night without power.

What's it gonna be like
in a week?

This doesn't look good.

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

- I'll get out.
- Be quick. And careful!

Hurry up!

Right, go.

Who are these people?

They look like asylum seekers.

I'm not so bothered about them,
but there's also

high-security criminals
awaiting deportation

and if any of those bastards
get out

then it's a completely
different story.

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

What do you want to do?

- I'm coming with you, of course.
- You sure?

- Fire!
- Get out!

Fire!

- Get out the hotel!
- Fire! Come on, get out!

Get out!

- Get out of the building!
- Come on!

Fire!

- Fire!
- Get out of the hotel!

Come on. Come on, this way!

Hugh! Hugh! Where is everyone?

They all ran away
when the office was stormed.

It was chaos.

The prisoners in the main blocks
all broke out.

I've been stabbed.

OK, don't worry,
we'll get you the hospital.

Fraser, give me a hand.

Shit! The high-security
prisoners are getting out.

- Christ!
- Fraser, come on.

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

Hey, hey!

Hurry! Fire's everywhere!
Come out this way!

Help, help!

Get her out of here.

- Go!
- I can't open the door!

Hey!

Come on. It's this way.

Help!

- Get away from the door.
- I am!

Go to the back of the room!

- Are you away from the door?
- Yes!

Edin?

- Come on!
- Wait! Edin!

- Come on!
- Edin!

- Come on, we have to leave.
- Edin!

We can't stay here!
The smoke is getting thicker!

Come on! Go, go, go. Come on.

Hurry up.

You're alright.

Let's get him in the back.

Hurry, hurry!

Get back! Stay back there,
I'm telling you!

Stay back! Get back!

Stay back, I'm telling you!

- Go!
- Quick...

Go!

Go! Go!

Shit! OK, hold on!

Come on...

Jesus!

- Hit the brakes!
- I'm trying!

- Ready, hold on!
- Hit the brakes!

Come on!

Come on, move!

Come on. We need to get out!

We need to get out, come on.

Anna?

Anna!

Are you alright?

I can't... I can't breathe.

Take her.

You'll be alright. Come on.

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

I can't breathe!

You need to get up. Come on. Go!

I got you. I got you.

Watch it! Come on.

Come on!

You've gotta... gotta move.

Come on.

Come on!

Come to me!

Help!

You're safe, you're safe!

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

I bet that wasn't covered in the
Civil Service entrance exams.

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

My dad died tonight.

He was in a care home.

He tried to move
when the power cut out

and he fell down the stairs.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I made a nasty joke about him
before he died.

I make nasty jokes
about my family all the time.

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

Well... I gotta get back
to London.

Don't forget us, OK?

I promise you I'll do everything
in my power

to help you get through this.

Robert?

Robert?

Robert.

Come to bed.

I can't. Not yet.

Must phone Georgia's parents.

I'll give them our condolences.

I can't let Ellie face
the possibility of prison

Robert, I...

I know. I know.

I'm the lawyer.
Leave it to me and Peter.

We will get through this.

What is it?

The voltage instability issue
has been rectified.

Power will soon be restored
to the major cities.

But the rest of the country...

Certain places won't be able
to turn a light on

for quite some time.

Sorry I woke you.

I'm glad it was you.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

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

Oh, God.
I think he recognised me.

No.

10-45 to Gold Command,
receiving, over?

Gold Commander, receiving.

Some very distressed kids
have just walked in

from the university.

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

I have to go.

Will I see you again?

You said you were going home.

Do you want me to?

The police have arrived
to talk to Ellie.

Already?

You'd think they had
better things to do.

Given the circumstances,
they need to be seen to...

I understand the bloody
circumstances, Peter.

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

With all due respect,
I think you might need to

talk to your wife about that
side of things, Prime Minister.

There is something else.

A situation has developed
at the university

next to the Hadley Brooke
Immigration Removal Centre.

Reports are very confused

but it seems a group
of the escapees

have got in there and started
to attack the students.

Oh, God.

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

I need Anna for this.
