We are officers of the
state. We do not play God.

Then what God is going to save
these people? Sea level's rising.

Oil's running out.

Terrorists are going nuclear.

Do you really think this current
system is capable of dealing with that?

Adam!

Adam, it's Ros, can you
hear me? Are you hurt? Adam!

You're all aware that on the last
mission I had a. . .a bad moment.

I'd appreciate it if this just,
you know, this stayed in the team.

I don't think Harry needs to know.

Are you seeking treatment?

For what?

Well, I think nowadays they call it post-traumatic
stress disorder, but I still prefer burn out.

Sometimes I think it was stupid,
selfish of us, to have a child.

What kind of a world's
he going to know?

The Met Office has issued a flood
warning to the south-east of England.

A depression in Scotland is now
moving down into the North Sea.

Low barometric pressure, combined
with one of the highest spring tides

in 50 years, is likely to result in historically high
water levels in the Humber, Stour and Thames estuaries.

The effects of a severe flood
in London would be catastrophic.

The central part of the London
Underground would be paralysed.

Flood defences are being activated
and the authorities are confident

that these defences are
sufficient to repel a tidal surge.

Robert Cash, Department of the
Environment and Rural Affairs.

I'm here with the
International Delegation.

Thank you, sir. We've been
expecting you. Carry on.

No, Mum, of course it's not a
hassle. I really want to see you.

I'll call you on your mobile
if I'm going to be delayed.

Is it?

All right, well I'd
better be on time then.

OK, see you later.

Bye.

Good morning, everyone. I'm
Alan Jackson, your guide.

You've picked quite a day, what
with the depression on the Atlantic.

So we heard. It's going to get very
busy later on so we should make a start.

'Bringing new attention to
the threat of climate change.

'A recent study. . .'

Morning, Carlos.

Thank you. And the
almond croissant.

Rush-hour traffic.

They should ban all cars
- except mine. Thank you.

The central piers are out
of bounds to the public

and we keep professional and
academic visits to a minimum.

The closing operation is
managed from the control

building on the South Bank, but we have various
on-site backup systems in case of power failure.

We're about to enter one of
four central pier chambers.

Each of these piers houses a gate weighing 3,700
tonnes and standing as high as a three-storey building.

Truth is, this little beauty
is London's guardian angel.

Without it, there'd be no London.

Shall we move on? No, you're OK.

We'll go on alone from here.

Go!

ALARM SOUNDS

Oh, shit! Shit!

it's your judo stuff.

It's your gym stuff, um. . .

Where's my recycling project?

On the coffee table, there, where
you were doing it last night.

Oh, no, it's broken!

What? No, it isn't. Come here.

Look at that.

That's brilliant.

They're going to love
it. Now, you take that.

I've got your judo kit.
Come on, quick, let's go.

No, I'm sorry, he's not
here. Can I take a message?

Dr Jewell -

could he do Thursday?

Come on, move. Move!

Keep going.

Move! Out! Now! Out!

Turn round.

Right, you give this to the
British Government. Go, go.

Adam, the terrorists are
deep inside the barrier.

They're controlling
the central two piers.

All staff ejected. No news on
casualties but there were gun shots.

Do we have any news from the PLA?
They're putting out a cover story

contact with the terrorists?

Not yet. All comms are down.

OK, they should say it's
only a routine drill and the

Barrier's being raised for testing.
Zaf, contact the Barrier security.

Tell them the Home Secretary's issued a
quarantine on all Barrier staff and visitors.

Make sure nobody leaves
the Barrier complex.

Confiscate all mobile phones.

This only gets out to the
press when we tell them. Adam.

COBRA will meet in 15 minutes.

Set up a secure negotiation line.

Deputy PM's on her way.

Deputy Prime Minister, welcome.

Joint Chiefs of Staff are waiting for you in
COBRA along with engineers from the Barrier.

Harry, this is Janet Wheeler,
the Government's Chief Scientist.

Janet, good morning. The Prime Minister
has authorised me to take the chair.

He will be in contact
throughout the day from Tokyo.

Have you had any contact
with the terrorists?

Divine Earth stormed the
Barrier about 8.15 this morning.

Before sealing off the central Barrier
area, they delivered a computer disc.

Our planet is dying.
Ice caps are melting.

Sea levels are
rising by many metres.

Southern Europe will become a desert.
Northern Europe will experience a new

Ice Age where we'll all become casualties of
the climate's revenge on mankind's insanity.

This is not tomorrow's problem.
The nightmare has already begun.

Unless our demands are met, Divine Earth will
today offer London a warning of the chaos to come.

A chaos of our own creation.

What do we have on them? Some form of
environmental terrorism not on our radar before.

CCTV footage from the
Barrier's being sent over now.

General Clark, when
can we expect contact?

They've kept one telephone line open from
the Barrier to the bankside control building.

We've diverted the
line to Thames House.

My senior officer is
waiting for them to call.

How long can we cope without
control of the Barrier?

Deputy Prime Minister, over
the last few days there has

been a large low pressure system driving east
over the Atlantic, creating a surge of sea water.

This combined with a high
spring tide will produce a six

metre wall of water in the Thames
Estuary at 5 o'clock this evening.

This kind of tide happens
two or three times every year.

The levels have been rising over the
last few years due to climate change

but the Barrier would normally cope without a
problem. It's a stunning piece of engineering.

And without the Barrier?

The Environment Agency has created a
mapping programme showing the extent

of flooding in London for
every metre's height of water.

This surge would flood the Essex flatlands
and the Thames Gateway within minutes.

Within an hour, the Houses
of Parliament, Waterloo

and Victoria stations would
be under six feet of water.

This flood would extend to Lambeth,
Fulham, Battersea, Hammersmith,

Putney, Barnes and as far
as Richmond and Twickenham.

Children, the old and the ill will be
the first victims. Estimated death toll?

Without evacuation, 1.25
million people are at risk.

Deputy Prime Minister, we have a
phased city evacuation plan ready

to go and I have the necessary
troops standing by to enforce it.

I want to talk to these people
before we push any panic buttons.

There are two men missing presumed dead
- Alan Jackson,

the Barrier guide was shot trying to raise the alarm
and a civil servant, Robert Cash, still unaccounted for.

Don't tell their families yet. We
need to keep this absolutely quiet.

For sure. Well, get back to
me as soon as you've got it.

Oh, and a Dr Jewell rang, I
said you'd ring her back. Right.

Yeah that's the uh. . .

the shrink, I've been
seeing her a couple of times.

How's that going? Fine.
She's given me the all clear.

Recommended a couple of extra orange juices and go easy
on the self-pity. So you're not seeing her any more?

What?

You're not seeing her any more?

No.

Adam, we have something.

We ran an ID check on all the
delegates. The three that have

remained on the Barrier are from
the Dutch Environmental Commission.

Unless we've declared a tulip
embargo, it's probably not the Dutch.

Look, CCTV of the Dutch delegation checking in
to the Fitzwallace Hotel in Mayfair last night.

And this is them checking out
this morning. Different people.

They had full ID
- photocards, paperwork, vetting forms, everything.

How did an environmental terror group
manage to replace a government commission?

And where are the delegates?

CCTV from the Barrier entrance.

He's not exactly camera-shy.

Let's find out who he is.

Adam!

Adam, they're calling!

This is Nick Harding representing the
British Government. Did you get the disc?

Who am I speaking to?
That doesn't matter.

We're missing a British civil servant, Robert
Cash, and a member of Barrier staff, Alan Jackson.

Can you confirm what happened
to them? We heard gunshots.

I'm sorry that happened but if people don't
listen, they may suffer the consequences.

What do you want?

The British Government are
in possession of a document.

It's called Aftermath.
Never heard of it.

It exists. What is it?

You'll find that out when you
publish it. And if we refuse?

We won't close the Barrier
gates for the high tide tonight.

And at 5 o'clock this evening,
London floods. And if we publish it?

We'll leave the Barrier and
give ourselves up for arrest.

How do I know I can trust
you? I'll call you at 10.45.

Try anything silly and we blow the
hydraulics on all four central piers.

Three-pound of Grade A Semtex. And if
that goes up, the Barrier never closes.

The Dutch delegates have been picked up.
They were tied up in their hotel room.

obvious assumption
from the disc was

an environmental connection but
we've checked every DEFRA database

and no environmental or rural
issue has any mention of Aftermath.

Yeah, we've also checked Government
strategy on the effects of chemical

and biological attacks on major cities
- no mention of Aftermath. Nuclear? Same story.

All we've come up with so far is a mental health charity
in Sheffield. and a thrash metal rock band in Iowa.

For God's sake, Malcolm, this isn't a
bloody joke. They're playing with us.

They're using a fictional document as a smokescreen
to justify doing as much damage as possible.

We get the blame and they become martyrs to
the cause. I'm going to go and brief COBRA.

Ros, you look after
things from here. Sure.

Yeah, this is Dr Susan Gold, Head of Psychiatry
at the Merlin Institute in Roehampton.

Yeah, I'm sending through
request form P334 now.

Come on, Harry, are you telling me this is
the best you can do? We still have seven hours.

It isn't possible to negotiate with someone
who wants something that doesn't exist.

Divine Earth don't want money so we have nothing
to offer them. There must be something we can do.

They have CCTV cameras
monitoring both tunnels,

we can't get to them or the
explosives without being seen.

They've cut power, heating, air
supply. It's like a fortress.

Why have they cut the air supply?

They're probably worried we'd use
the vents to get at them. Could we?

We'd need the power back on. Can we
reconnect the power to the air supply?

They've destroyed the main circuit but
there's a power intercept box halfway across

the tunnel leading
from the north side.

You'd have to get to that without
being caught by the cameras.

Well, we could travel along the
plant tunnel underneath the floor.

And then what?

You could redirect the power
for the air supply to the mains.

It's a different circuit to
the one that they've destroyed.

So we reconnect the air supply. . .

And then we gas them. It would have to work
almost instantaneously otherwise they'd detect it.

How big a space are we dealing with? The central
pier, lower section, it's a 16 by 10 metre space.

Who's going in? We have a Special
Operatives Unit on standby.

I'll take them in. They'll never find
the intercept box in the darkness.

I know it better than anyone
- I helped design it.

Well, let's get going. I'm requesting
your authority to use an opiate

of a lethally high concentration.
The effect will be instantaneous.

We can't afford to take any risks.

If just one of them
remains alive. . .

I can't stopmy hands shaking.

Don't worry, Andrew,
you're going to be fine.

Andrew. . . Look, are you sure
you're OK to do this? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

On second thoughts I think
I'll come in with you.

I always like to see a
master at work. OK, great.

Thanks. And don't worry about
these, they're just a precaution.

We don't need to put them
on till the last minute.

They're in the tunnel. I've been checking the Civil
Service's vetting procedure for the delegation.

They've got top security. There's no way they could
have slipped through. Someone helped them? Who?

The only civil servant who had access to all the
papers was Robert Cash. I thought Cash was dead.

No, no, that's what they wanted
us to think. He's with them.

Jo, get background ID
on Cash. Everything.

He's worked at the Department of the
Environment and Rural Affairs for six years.

No known connections with environment
groups but he visited America in 2005. Why?

He went to New Orleans.

Just after Katrina. Did he go on behalf of the
Government? No, he went on an emergency visa.

Why would they issue him an emergency
visa? His daughter. She died in the flood.

They never found the body.

OK, it's here.

All yours.

Barrier records show that Robert
Cash went on a preparatory site visit

two days ago with a junior from
the Department of the Environment.

They spent 20 minutes on the Barrier alone.
What was the name of the junior? Simon Ritter.

No, there is no Simon Ritter at the
Department of Environment and Rural Affairs.

They've prepped the operation. What
if they know about the intercept box?

We've got to isolate the electricity
to the air supply. Malcolm!

We've got to connect it to the mains
without turning everything else on.

Malcolm, get Zaf out of there! I
can't, he's out of signal range.

Five, three, no six, zero.

Is there a problem?
It looks different.

What does? The wiring.

Maybe it doesn't. It must
just be me. I've got it.

Andrew, abort now. . .

EXPLOSION

PHONE BLEEPS

What the hell are you
doing? I have no idea.

Yes, you do. What have you done?

Wait.

Sir, we've got to
get out of here now.

It was an anti-personnel
device - sophisticated kit.

The explosion decapitated him.
He wouldn't have felt a thing.

Deputy Prime Minister, these
people are deadly serious.

I'm recommending we begin a phased evacuation plan
according to the London Resilience Team strategy.

We don't have much time.
High tide is at 5 o'clock.

If we commit to evacuation, people will die and
we set in motion something we cannot control.

The Stock Exchange crashes,
the markets go into a tailspin,

money pours out of the UK into anywhere that'll
take it. We enter a major recession within hours.

I'm not giving these people the
satisfaction of witnessing their own success.

We'll reconvene shortly.

In the meantime, I'd like you all
to investigate other solutions.

I don't understand, why won't
she evacuate? Something to hide?

We have a positive ID on the group. He's the most interesting
- Craig Fletcher.

He used to work with Rachel in New
Orleans and guess what, they were engaged.

Adam, Cash's daughter Rachel was an activist
working with the poor black community in New Orleans.

When Katrina hit she disappeared.

Cash went over to find
her body but he never did.

In New Orleans he
met Craig Fletcher.

He worked for the same
environmental organisation as Rachel

trying to raise awareness of
flood risk due to climate change.

They're doing all this for a
dead girl? Hell of a memorial.

I'm on my way back.

Harry, this changes the picture.
They're acting out of grief.

We can't be sure what their
intentions are. I have to get in there.

You told me we could do
this without hurting anyone.

It was always a possibility if
they didn't stick to their word.

Look, you've got to be
realistic about this, Robert.

We have committed to the
greater cause for Rachel.

We're making a difference to
this planet before it's too late.

OK? OK, let's see if
they'll listen to us now.

PHONE BLEEPS

I want to talk about New Orleans.

I want to talk about Rachel Cash.

Rachel Cash disappeared in
the flood in New Orleans.

Her body was never found. That's what
you and Robert are doing there today.

I'm not interested in personal
conversations. You'd better start evacuating.

Two people are dead already. They had
friends and families just like Rachel.

If we're going to avoid more
killings, we need to talk now.

No way. No more talking.
We've had enough.

Aftermath exists.

You said it didn't.

I lied but no-one is going to let you have it
unless we trust you. So we need to talk. So talk.

Not on the phone
- face-to-face.

You've got to be kidding.

Then there's no deal. You
have to work with us, Craig.

'OK, come up the north
tunnel. Just you. Don't forget,

'I've got someone here with
a finger on the detonator.'

Your operative had no
authority to make that decision.

He had to find a way on to the Barrier.
Our best hope is to negotiate face-to-face.

By confessing to some ridiculous fiction? It
weakens our position. Aftermath does not exist.

It buys us time, it gets us closer
to the target. And then what?

What's he going to give
them at the end of it all?

The truth is simple
- we have nothing to offer these people

and the sooner they find
that out, the better.

This emits a tracker signal. We'll
be able to follow you wherever you go.

If you change the signal from red to
green, we'll take that as an order to storm.

We need to get Divine Earth away from
the detonators and the CCTV monitors.

It's the only way in, Adam.

If you can create enough of a distraction, that'll
give special forces the 30 seconds they need.

Divide and rule. More
information on Craig Fletcher.

Ex-soldier, joined up at 17 and
was stationed in Northern Ireland,

awarded a medal for bravery when his patrol unit
in West Belfast was ambushed by an IRA hit squad.

He saved the lives of two fellow
soldiers. Fast-tracked to officer

training at Sandhurst, became a Lieutenant in
peace keeping forces in East Africa and Bosnia.

A spotless record. He retired
from the Army with full honours.

And now he's on a mission to
avenge the death of his girlfriend.

Solo negotiation is extremely risky. Fletcher knows
what he's doing, don't take any unnecessary risks.

Don't worry, my doggy paddle's
unsurpassed. PHONE RINGS

Deputy Prime Minister.

It's the right decision.

We have to hold our nerve.

I'm on my way back now.

She's jumpy and I don't think
it's Divine Earth she's scared of.

I think it's what they're after.

Sorry, I don't quite follow.

I want to authorise a phone tap
- a somewhat sensitive one. You don't mean. . .

That requires a signature
from the Prime Minister.

Come on, you've been doing this almost as
long as I have, does it smell right to you?

Harry, I don't feel comfortable with this.
Report only to me. Write nothing down. No traces.

Zaf, are you OK? Yeah.

We shouldn't have
sent Starkey in there.

He wasn't ready for it.

Listen, I know this probably
isn't the right time,

I'm meant to be meeting my mum at
the Tate Modern at 5 o'clock. . .

Have you tried calling
her? Yeah, her phone's off.

Jacket off, jewellery off.

Where's Adam? He's
gone. Gone where?

The Barrier. Get him on the phone. Well, it's
not possible. We can track him but we can't. . .

For the last three months he's been
suffering from acute post-traumatic stress.

Read the final paragraph.

"The patient has agreed that continuing in his
current role risks leading to a nervous collapse.

"He will request immediate
leave from all duties."

Get me who wrote this.

Three pound of Semtex on
each hydraulic mechanism.

The monitors are being
watched at all times.

We see anything strange on those
screens, or you try anything unwise,

she presses the button,
the whole thing goes up. OK?

BEEPING

Sit down.

Now, don't move.

Adam's with them in
the lower area. Harry?

Back in COBRA in five minutes.

I've downloaded every text
from Caroline Fox's phone today.

This one was sent at 11.47 to the Prime
Minister's private secretary, Michael Fitzgerald.

Five minutes after receiving Fox's text, Michael
Fitzgerald called a private security company

with an order to deliver a parcel from the back
entrance of Number Ten to an undisclosed address.

This is DZ43. Central Office. Your
12.30 pick-up's been cancelled.

Time for a coffee. Copy that.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Sir, this is DZ Security
concerning your delivery pick-up.

It's late, what's going on? I'm afraid the
van's stuck in traffic in Bethnal Green.

It could be half an hour. I can
offer you a motorbike courier

with a secure lock-up facility, would
be there in less than five minutes.

I'm not sure how big the parcel is. Get me the motorbike
- fast.

Right away, sir.

Z3, move into position.

Give him the access code.

Aftermath -

a bilateral US-UK agreement

agreeing to end the fight
against global warming

and to focus strategy on maximising
economic, military and political influence

in a world devastated
by climate change.

We give up fighting climate change.

And focus instead on being the first
to take advantage of the consequences.

Aftermath advocates methodical US and
UK acquisition of global fossil fuels

and other natural resources in
the 21st century in anticipation

of increasing resource scarcity,
oil depletion and spiralling prices.

It advocates sustained military operations
to secure natural resource networks.

It anticipates a global population
reduction of between 20% and 35%.

This it describes as not only
an inevitability but a necessity.

Read the final recommendation.

The proposal recommends implementing a
cosmetic series of environmental measures

to neutralise green lobbies, whilst establishing
an international stranglehold on carbon resources

in the next hundred years.

This will involve the reintroduction
of a full nuclear weapons programme,

to create effective deterrents
in an unstable global climate.

In short
- a Cold War scenario for the environmental age.

Why did we not know this? !

That proposal is in the
early consultation stage.

Is that why you didn't
consult your Chief Scientist?

Not to mention military
chiefs, intelligence officials -

you're making senior establishment
figures look like schoolboys.

The necessity for discretion
makes wide consultation impossible.

And who exactly are
you consulting with?

Aftermath is a light-pencil proposal that has
been through no kind of consultation process.

It must never be made public.

Why not? If that's what
you're really intending.

We publish that and basically we're
accepting the death of millions of people.

If anyone even suspects we believe global
warming will deliver this degree of change. . .

And you think it will?
Of course it will.

Everything Janet's been
telling us tells us it will.

The point is, we can't stop it
without destroying our economies.

There's no way international governments
will collaborate in the way necessary

for a unified battle to be
fought. How do you know that?

Oh, come on, Janet,
you've been to Kyoto.

You think America will ever agree to
those cuts, let alone China and India?

And that's a fifth
of what's required.

If we go it alone it will cripple us.
We'll be the dinosaur of the global economy.

We must hold our position.

Then why not come clean,
open up the debate?

And watch confidence shatter? There'd
be a global crisis within days.

That's when the wars begin.

It strikes me that if Aftermath is
adopted then the wars will begin anyway.

This is a direct order from Downing Street
- it doesn't leave this room.

PHONE RINGS

Yes.

You're asking me to break
the Hippocratic oath.

I have an operative in a
situation where one wrong decision

could cause the death
of thousands of people.

Adam Carter is suffering an acute
form of post-traumatic stress disorder.

He's experiencing
chronic flashbacks,

suicidal impulses
and manic episodes.

His condition is rooted
in survivor guilt.

He wishes he was dead and
that his wife was still alive.

We have to get him off
the operation, Harry.

We have no way of
communicating with him.

Diana, I'd like you to
stay here on the grid.

Tell us about Aftermath.

I haven't seen it.
It's highly classified.

But you know it exists.

I know they'll only publish it if they
trust you. Why wouldn't they trust us?

You're at the centre of
the world's attention.

I'd just be tempted
to blow it anyway.

We don't want to blow the Barrier.
We want you to publish Aftermath.

Is that what you want too, Craig?

I've been reading your military
record. What are you talking about?

The two soldiers who
were killed in Belfast.

He hid and watched while two of his
friends were ambushed by an IRA hit squad.

It was advisable that Lt Fletcher
be released from the service.

That's utter bullshit.
I saved those men.

You have a history of
mental illness, Craig,

which is why we have our concerns
about guarantees you're giving us.

We've seen your medical
history, can you blame us

for suspecting that you've. . . you've
chosen a decent man in a state of grief

to fulfil some twisted fantasy?
Robert, he's lying, don't fall for it.

The man you blew up at the
intercept was called Andrew Starkey.

He has three children.

Before you set that booby trap, did someone
assure you that it was just a deterrent?

It was a deterrent. Are you sure that some of
these people don't just want to punish the world?

Punish people like Andrew Starkey?

Like me? I mean, I have a son
- eight years old.

He'll die.

He knows more about the
environment than I do.

Who's to say he won't end
up like another Rachel?

But that doesn't matter to you,
does it? You just want blood!

Enough! You know
you're lying. Craig.

Are you going to fire that?

Go on. . .

Show Robert what
you're really about.

Go on.

Harry, they'll be calling in 15
minutes. What do I offer them?

Nothing. What about
the document? Nothing.

We don't have a Plan B. If
Adam doesn't succeed. . .

I am aware of that but if we publish
Aftermath, we enter the political unknown.

What if he's not all right?

I don't know, Ros.

What's she doing? Janet,
what are you playing at?

What? Give that to me.

What? Janet, this building has the highest
level of security of any in the country,

you're not going anywhere
with that document.

Aftermath is a wake
- up call the world needs. We have a duty to publish it.

You are not in a position to decide that.
You're a servant of the state, as am I.

I am also a woman of
individual conscience.

You think individual conscience is
in charge down there on the Barrier?

You think Divine Earth give a damn about moral
decency? Yes. That's why I told them, Harry.

Do you realise what you've done?

I had to know what was going on. I've spent five
years walking a tightrope between doing my duty to

my Government and duty to my planet and I have
been lied to, misled and ignored. So you told Cash.

Robert came to me after his daughter had died
because he was concerned about Government policy.

I thought that he
would go to the papers.

You have no idea what is going on.

The world is living in a
state of wilful ignorance.

The warning signs are right in front
of our eyes and still we do nothing.

This may be our way
out of this. Yes.

Professor, no-one knows what you did and
we can keep it that way if you help us.

What do you want?

I want you to help us convince
Divine Earth we're publishing.

You're the one person
they'll believe.

Janet, we understand why you did
this but this is out of control.

You have to help us stop it.

You can save people's lives.

They have a website. That's
how I communicate with Robert.

I'm about to make the
call to your colleagues.

If you do this without my support, then
all hope of any agreement goes with me.

Maybe that's what you want.
We all want the same thing.

I don't think so. I think Robert's a decent man who
just wants his daughter's death to mean something.

Don't listen to him.
He's trying to divide us.

That's why you insisted that whatever
happened, you'd never actually blow the Barrier.

This has never been
about blowing the Barrier.

It's been about ensuring
Rachel didn't die in vain.

We don't want to kill people. Now,
listen to me. No-one's listening to you.

Just listen to me!

A 50-page document is not
going to satisfy your friend.

He suffers from sever mental imbalance, absences,
manic episodes. We cannot do deals with him.

I need fully integrated website
and news footage convincing enough

to support Janet
Wheeler's message. Got it.

Harry, if Adam gives us the signal, how
can we trust him? He's been lying to us.

In his current state, Adam is likely
to take unnecessarily high risks.

How can you know for sure
what's going on in there?

I've conducted hundreds of operations
with Adam Carter. I know how he works.

So you know, for example, that Adam has seriously
considered suicide in the last few weeks?

We have a fully prepared
alternative plan ready to go.

Harry, you've got to understand -

he's deliberately putting
himself under immense pressure.

He's daring himself to crack.

Robert. . .

just, please, just. .
. walk out with me now.

That's all you have to
do. Just walk out with me.

Please believe me. We're never going to publish
with this maniac in charge. Right, that's enough!

I'm sorry, Craig.

I can't take the risk.

Look, can't you see
what he's trying to do?

Come on. Come on, Robert, let's go.

Don't move.

Harry, Adam's signal's gone green.

Special forces are
standing by on your order.

Harry.

Robert. . .

Robert, I just want you to walk
over there and pick up that phone,

call my colleagues and tell
them you're walking out with me.

You pick up that
phone, we'll shoot him.

Robert, just pick up the
phone. Pick up the phone.

We're never going to do
anything with this man in charge.

Don't you dare move.

Craig, you wouldn't shoot me.

I'm her father.

WES: Is Mummy coming
home? Where's my mummy?

BEEPING

I need to talk to you.
No. I need to talk to you.

We're publishing Aftermath.

They're publishing.

I have a timetable.

A press release about the document will be
sent to the Press Association in one hour.

Also in one hour, the Deputy Prime
Minister will speak to the House,

'and the document will be published
in full.' We have a web connection.

'If we see the Aftermath document published on
all major websites, we'll close the Barrier.'

You'll see it. Good.

And one more thing. . .

get rid of this madman.

'Not a problem. We still need a guarantee of
the safe transfer of the Barrier into our hands.'

We'll find a suitable replacement.

'We'll be waiting for
them.' PHONE GOES DEAD

MOBILE RINGS

Zaf?

He's on his way to
you now. Good luck.

GUNSHOT

ROS: 'You're not well,
Adam. Go home. Go home.'

WES: 'Are we dreaming? Are
we dreaming? Are we dreaming?'

The document'll be
published in 20 minutes.

You can expect the political
effects to be unprecedented.

'In publishing this
controversial document. . .'

How are we doing?
A few minutes more.

'. .my primary. . .' Nearly there.

Just need to paste the Deputy
Prime Minister onto this website.

We've redirected their internet
connection to our server.

What they see is what we want them to see.
. .OK, it's done. 'In publishing this. . .'

I want to send a message
to Robert Cash's website

from Janet Wheeler.

Sending now.

BEEPING

Craig, it's from Janet.

It's true
- they've published.

Check the rest of the web.

'In publishing this
controversial document,

'my primary aim is to open debate.

'There will of course be
a full public enquiry. . .'

Check another site. '. .as to why the British people
weren't told the truth about Aftermath before now.

'I shall personally be tendering my
resignation.' Craig, it's everywhere.

So much for not
negotiating with terrorists.

They must have seen it by now.

Harry, Adam hasn't come out and
he's turned off his tracking device.

What's he playing at?

ADAM: 'No! No!

'No! No!'

Keep Wes safe.

Promise me you will.

ADAM CACKLES MANIACALLY

'Wes has gone missing.
Wes has gone missing. . .'

GUNSHOT WES: 'Daddy!'

ADAM: 'Fiona, I'm sorry.'

ROS: 'Adam, you've got to get out. Adam,
you've got to get out.' 'Why wasn't it me?'

WES: 'Daddy. Daddy,
get up. Listen to me.'

VOICES OUTSIDE

They've given us what we asked for.
There's something else we'd like to offer.

If you walk off the Barrier now, we'll
say there were never any explosives.

You'll get off with a suspended
sentence for disturbing the peace

and become heroes of your cause.

Why do you want to do that?

We avoid the British public knowing
they were moments from a catastrophe.

We can all win.

All you have to do
is walk out the door.

You've got what you
came for, haven't you?

This is what Rachel
would have wanted, Craig.

It's what we agreed.

Come on, we've done it.

I look at you and I see all those
politicians who've lied to me.

I see the United
Nations, US envoys.

In East Africa, they lied
about desert encroachment

while whole villages died of
starvation because their crops failed.

Liars -

every single one of them.

And you're lying to me now.

I'm not lying.

You've seen the document.

You see, that's the thing. . .

. .I just don't believe you.

Please don't do this.

You're just like Rachel - you have such
faith in people - but they're lying.

They're not lying! Afraid
so. We've won, Craig.

No, we haven't.

It's been too easy. They
never let you win that easily.

No. Craig, we can't do this.

BEEPING

Say goodbye.

We were always prepared
to die for this.

BEEP

Yes?

Tell them. Yes?

Hello?

Tell them.

They're going to blow the Barrier.

They've told me to say goodbye.
No. No, wait. . . PHONE GOES DEAD

They've cut the line!

Can we storm?

They'd see us coming. It would be tantamount
to suicide. What if we evacuate now?

We can instigate Phase One. I can close the
Underground, get key figures out of the city.

Phases Two and Three
are no longer an option.

BEEPING 'Harry, they're
closing the Barrier.'

If they close it now
while the tide builds,

then blow the hydraulics, the water
will force the Barrier to collapse.

It'll create a tidal
wave through London.

It'll rip out the entire
heart of the capital.

Excuse me.

ROS: How's this
going to help Rachel?

You people just don't understand.

You never had any intention
of giving yourself up, did you?

I'm sorry,

but people only ever learn
from war and catastrophe.

Has Adam signalled in yet? No, not yet. Right,
think. Anything we can do to get to these bastards.

We've got just over
an hour till high tide.

Yes, hello, um, listen,

there's a woman,
possibly in a brown coat,

um, she might be standing
outside your cafe.

Well, could you take a closer look?

Well, just have a look, please!

No, wait, wait, wait, don't
hang up. Listen, she's my mother,

and I really need
to speak to her. . .

Hello? Hello?

Shit!

Where is she? Tate
Modern. Her phone's broken.

You have 20 minutes.

Malcolm. . .

I think I've got something.

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

You're early. Thank
God. Listen to me.

Mum, you have to get out of here.

Go straight to London Bridge and get a train
south now, please. What are you talking about?

Just listen to me.

Now, just calm down and
tell me what's wrong.

Mum, I don't work for a newspaper, I
work for MI5. Are you all right, Jo?

I'm fine. I work in
Sector D at Thames House.

I'm looking at you very calmly and I'm telling
you that you have to go now. But what about you?

I'll be fine.

But I can't leave you. I have
to go. I'll call you, I promise.

We've closed the Underground
stations, citing a security alert.

The Army have mobilised the trains
and buses but there are still

hundreds of thousands of
people in the danger zone.

The water on the seaward side of
the Barrier is at record level.

At 1700 hours. . . MOBILE RINGS

. .an RAF Chinook will fly yourself
and the rest of COBRA. . . Zaf.

. .to the Stanfield Bunker which will serve
as operations base till this crisis is over.

Deputy Prime Minister, I
think we can blow the chamber.

By closing the Barrier, Divine Earth have
caused the water to rise on both sides.

The build up of river
water on the upriver side

means that the low water maintenance
tunnel is for the first time under water.

If we blow this from the outside,
the chamber will immediately flood.

The bomb will be rigged by a diver
using a 40lb waterproof explosive,

taking out a sizeable section of the upriver
wall. The Barrier itself will remain unaffected.

They wouldn't have time to detonate.
Everyone in the chamber dies?

Everyone. Including
your own officers?

Yes. Deputy Prime Minister, we need to evacuate
you to safe ground. We need a decision now.

Do it.

You have to. It's
wrong. You have to.

You can't do this.
Don't do this, Craig.

Please, I know how angry you are.

I know what you've seen but this isn't what Rachel would have wanted
- killing ordinary people.

Look, I loved your daughter but
this is nothing to do with her.

We did this in her name. . . to get
Aftermath published. to raise awareness.

You can't read a document
to a sleeping man.

The human race is sleepwalking to
disaster. We have to be woken up.

Exactly how does what you're about
to do qualify as waking people up?

You don't understand.

You're killing people.

Children.

You could have evacuated. You didn't. You could
have published. You didn't, did you? DID YOU? !

When London floods, someone
will ask why we did it.

The people will find the
truth about Aftermath.

What we're doing
will change the world.

BEEPING

BEEPING CONTINUES, STOPS

Next time, trust me.

Next time, don't lie to me.

All communications lines
have been cut. Come on.

Detonation of upriver
wall in 30 seconds.

DISTANT BANG

THEY SHOUT

Adam! They can't have
just left us here!

They know we're down here. Someone
will come, someone will come!

HELP!

It's bolted.

Help! Somebody! Help! Help us!

HELP!

SHE SCREAMS

Send in the divers.

See if there are any. . .survivors.

Just do it.

Harry, it was a 40lb bomb.

'Are we dreaming, Daddy?

'Are we in this dream together?'

'That's brilliant,
they're going to love it.'

DESPERATE GASP
