All language subtitles for Cobra s03e03.eng

The following programme
contains strong language.

My name is Ellie Sutherland.

By the time you see this,
I will be deep down a tunnel

beneath Godley Common village.

The sabotage consisted
of a basic device,

a timer and a handheld flare.

I can't get hold of Nate.
He went in the tunnel.

With Ellie.

Did Planet Resistance plant the bomb?

Bomb?! What are you talking about?

We didn't kill anybody. Henry did.

I'm not going down for him.

After I was drugged and
abducted from the United Kingdom

by my brother, Prince Samir,

I plead with the government
of the United Kingdom to help me.

Ellie! They're gonna make sure
- you're all right. - She'll be fine.

You're aware we're obligated
to place Ellie under arrest.

There cannot be any dispensation.

I can't do this any more, Rob.

You know that, don't you?

The explosion wasn't your fault.

It had nothing to do with me.

You must've known there was a bomb. No.

Come on, Ellie.

We know you didn't make the bomb
but you must have known about it.

I had no idea!

Otherwise I'd never have
gone down there.

Planet Resistance is
an entirely peaceful organisation.

Planet Resistance
is a terrorist organisation.

That's absurd.

Membership could get you 14 years, Ellie.

That, in addition
to whatever you get

for aggravated trespass
at Godley Common,

attempted murder.

Attempted murder?!

I went down there
to protest about the train line!

I've only got your word.

I didn't want to hurt anybody.

The explosive was made from a flare.

Exactly the same type of flare
that we found in your flat, Henry.

Do you believe in coincidences
like that?

We use flares for peaceful protests.

Is there any history
of cops tampering with evidence?

Nate told me in the cave
there was a device, yes.

One device. He said... Henry
had wanted to "escalate things".

Nate said that to you?

Nate had no idea
what Henry was planning.

He tried to talk him down from it,
I'm sure.

He told me he felt he'd been...

exploited by Henry.

I do too.

And where is Nate?

I don't know.

He's in the hospital. I saw him -

He escaped from the ambulance,
while it was moving.

Do you have any idea
where he'd be now?

He gave you no indication
of his plans?

Where he'd go? What he'd do?

I... I didn't even know
if we'd survive.

So...

Do you have any idea
where he might be?

I don't know.

- He's your man.
- He's not my man. He's one of many volunteers.

Acolytes.

Which one did
you tell to plant the bomb?

We didn't -
55 years.

That's my guess.

For murder, attempted murder,
and causing an explosion.

Bare cell, concrete bog.

What a dotage.

Um... Polly might know where he is.

And where is she now?

I don't know.

Don't you know where Polly is?

(RINGING TONE)

"Hi. This is Ellie.
Don't leave a message. Send a text."

Ellie. It's Polly.
I need to talk. It's really...

I... I just need to talk.

So... call me if you can.

Look at these through your fingers.

The opposition's making hay,
of course.

Of course.

The Shadow Home Secretary
was on Sky this morning,

at her most sanctimonious.

And using your name a lot.

Well, the thing is, she's right.

What happened at Godley
was a national disaster

by anyone's definition.

What are you going to do
about Ellie?

What I said.

I can't be seen to do anything but
let the law take its course, can I?

No.

Maybe this is the wake-up call
she needs.

I mean, what kind of person
is she going to become

if every time she makes a mistake
we bail her out?

She threw off her security.
She's involved with a violent group.

Yeah, but if she's prosecuted in
the limelight, it's so unforgiving.

Let's get Millar and Obasi's
take on this.

And the full range
of possibilities for her.

We'll sort this.
She's going to be OK.

Not working today, Dan?

Not today, no.

Another one, please.

(PHONE RINGS)

You know what I'm gonna say.

I quit Tony, and I meant it.

I don't want to do private work
any more.

I don't know yet.
I'll... I'll find something.

Look, I appreciate the offers,
but please, stop calling me.

Hi, Dad. Surprise.

What's er...

Why are you here?
Thought you'd be pleased to see me.

Well, I am. Course I am. Come 'ere.

Hey, come 'ere.

Let me take a good look at you.

(CHUCKLES)

You've changed your hair. Mm.

It's nice. Ta.

You look so... grown up now.

Thanks.

What have you been up to?

Hey...

I'll... I'll make us a drink, yeah?

How do you take your -

You need to get rid of them
for me, Dad.

The search and rescue operation
has shifted from rescue to recovery.

The official death toll
at Godley Common stands at 143,

with another 62 still in hospital.

Most stable,
but six or seven critical.

The people responsible
for this must, and will,

be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

And before you all ask
the same question,

yes, that does include my daughter.

We seek justice
without fear or favour.

That is very admirable, Robert.

I'm so glad you think so.

Investigation status?

Henry Wicks remains in custody,

along with 13 known members of PR
and your daughter.

Wicks remains our prime suspect,

though unsurprisingly he and the
others all deny any responsibility.

Nate Stevens alleged to Ellie
that Wicks was behind it

but he remains at large,
as does his partner, Polly Wright.

A manhunt is ongoing.

Points the finger and runs?
He's a suspect too, presumably?

Everyone's a suspect right now.

Even so, our evidence against Wicks
remains circumstantial,

and without further proof we'll be
forced to release him in due course.

You should be aware,

Planet Resistance might
be public enemy number one,

but we're anticipating
a swell of protests

from a number of other
aligned groups.

You are going to be a busy boy, Commissioner.

I suggest the Commissioner
focuses resources

on policing the UK Defence Expo.

The exhibition's
always proved a lightning rod.

And intelligence suggests there are
going to be some abnormally large

and highly aggressive demonstrations.

This is exactly what
the Civil Disturbance Bill is for.

We can pre-arrest on conspiracy
to cause public nuisance.

And if the police
run out of tear-gas,

they can pop into the Defence Expo
for a top-up.

It's an international event.
We can't risk disorder, or worse.

Police the exhibition to the
full extent granted under the Bill.

And if you could see me in my office?

Do you know Polly Wright, sir?

She's my daughter.

Do you know where she is at present?

She's 24 and out in the world somewhere.

What's the issue, Sergeant?

No idea of her whereabouts?

We... we don't have
the best relationship.

I was away a lot,
serving my country.

She in some sort of trouble?

Any recent contact of any kind?

What's happened?

If I know more, maybe I can help.

You're aware of the recent incident
at Godley Common?

The involvement
of the Planet Resistance group?

What's that got to do with Polly?

Well, that's something
we'd like to discuss with her.

I haven't heard from Polly in years.

And if she is in trouble,

I'm afraid I'm the last one
she'd turn to.

If she does get in touch...

Thank you.

What the fuck's going on?

If she pleads guilty,
she could avoid prison time.

Maybe a suspended sentence,
community service,

a fine for each offence.

Each offence?

Illegal protest,
aggravated trespass...

If she's charged with
a significant terror crime,

that's a much heavier sentence.

And how likely are these charges?

Well, how strongly do you want
to be seen to be pursuing justice

for the victims of Godley?

IF she's charged
and IF she's found guilty.

Look, there is no way
that Ellie knowingly caused harm

or was involved with explosives.

Everyone in this room knows that.

The leader, this Henry Wicks,

obviously manipulated her,
like some bastard Svengali.

Now, you said Nate Stevens
claimed HE planted the bomb.

So find him.

And the girl who dragged Ellie
into this, this... this Polly Wright.

Wicks did this, not Ellie.

Make it stick. Robert.

All due respect, Prime Minister,
without fear or favour.

I want to see her. My daughter.

At the police station?

Tonight.

Over a hundred people died
at Godley.

I wasn't there.

It's the only story on the news.
I wasn't there!

Then tell them that.

It won't make any difference.
They're locking up everyone anyway.

What did you expect?

We're not fucking terrorists!

Polly, if you really
weren't involved -

Jesus, Dad. I'm involved, all right?

And...

I got the Prime Minister's daughter involved.

But whatever happened at Godley
Common, it wasn't us, I swear.

Well, you need to hand yourself in.

Look, the more you run and hide,
the worse this is gonna get.

If they want to,
they will find you.

I can't protect you, Polly.
When have you ever protected me?

Look, you need to just...
confront this.

All we wanted to do
was confront things.

But it takes more than
handing out fucking pamphlets

to make things happen.

Everyone can see
what you made happen.

Polly!

I shouldn't have come back.
I won't again.

Wait. Where are you going?

There's a demo at the arms fair.
Don't be stupid.

Want me to take
some of your pamphlets?

I'm not stupid.

I don't just mouth off
about confronting.

You keep doing you, Dad,
like some fucking paperboy.

Because change takes action.

I don't give a shit
if they throw me in jail.

Polly, don't. Stay. Stay here!

I'm...

I'm sorry.

You know, Ellie may be
less inclined to take the line

she's a silly little girl
made a plaything of Henry Wicks.

It's true.
But she knows her own mind, Robert.

Painting her so weak, naive,
easily led.

Well, better she feels weak
and easily led than ends up in jail.

From your perspective.

You're not a headstrong
23-year-old woman.

You noticed.

Who's worried about
the future of the planet.

I am. I'm just also worried
about the future of my daughter.

Who I doubt will be prepared
to throw away her principles

in order to save her own skin.

If I have to persuade her.

Look, she's principled, yes,
but she's not stupid.

Rachel's finding her
the sharpest lawyer she can.

Let's hope she finds someone
less sharp for your divorce.

Wasn't sure you'd actually come.

I told your lawyer
to piss off twice.

Then?
Thought I'd hear you out.

Then at least you could hear it
for yourself the third time.

You need to know, we didn't do this.

Planet Resistance is about
disruption, not destruction.

Don't give me your slogans, Henry.

A lot of people believed in you,
in Planet Resistance, including me.

And now 150 people are dead
and a village is rubble.

Francine -
I put myself on the line for you.

And it cost me being
shadow minister.

What, they sacked you?!
"Egregious lack of judgment".

I'm... I'm sorry. I...

Look, you have to believe me.

Your lawyer said that
you can prove it was a set-up,

that Planet Resistance was framed.

Yeah. The government did this
to smear us.

Where's the proof?

I haven't...
I haven't actually got any -

Piss off, Henry.
Please. Just hear us out.

How long have we been
a thorn in the government's side?

We're trying to change the system.
We're a danger to it

so why wouldn't the system
try and fuck us up?

It's all a smear.

And just think, Planet Resistance
has got people to listen.

It's got them to question
those in power. We're succeeding.

So why would I, or would we,

shit on everything that
we've achieved, we can achieve?

None of that's proof.

Somebody has done this to us.

Maybe the man who was down in the
tunnel with Ellie Sutherland, Nate.

He told her
that I'd pushed for escalation,

that I'd planned the explosion.

That's bullshit.

So what? You think Nate's police?

I don't know. I don't know.
I... I thought he was my friend.

Nate's escaped.

He's missing.

Missing? Or exfiltrated?

How many people died, Ray?
How many?!

Don't think about that, Nathan.

Don't think about it?!
Be calm.

The current situation
was somewhat unforeseen.

You've always proven yourself
an exceptional asset.

And we're going to take care of you.

We just need to know that
you're going to take care of us too.

And together we can
navigate these troubled waters.

We're making arrangements for you.

We have people, good people,
in Zurich.

No, no. I don't want to go
to fucking Switzerland, Ray.

This isn't a negotiation.

You understand it's in all our
interests, don't you Nathan?

When?
Very soon.

All you have to do now
is just sit tight.

And let us take care.

If you could write your name
here please?

Thank you, Prime Minister.

Now if you'd like
to follow my colleague.

That's the advice
from both the Commissioner

and the Attorney General.

To pin it on Henry?

Not pin it on him.

Prove he's to blame,
which I think he is.

And I believe you think that now too.

If Nate or Polly
can help prove your innocence,

you stand a good chance of acquittal.

Provided you make
a full statement of contrition,

say publicly that you do not stand by
Planet Resistance or their actions -

Wait.

What happened at Godley Common...

It was horrendous.

And I feel stupid
and used by Henry Wicks.

Just like everybody else who thought

he stood for something better,
something different.

But Planet Resistance
are not terrorists.

And I will not denounce them.

For God's sake Ellie...

The world
is on the edge of destruction.

And I'm not gonna vilify
all of Planet Resistance

just so you can get me off the hook
and save your career.

It's not about me.

It's ALL about you.

That's why I came back from Chile.

Didn't you realise that?

To take a stand against what YOUR
government's doing in YOUR name.

Because I knew my presence
would have an impact.

Ellie.

You never notice anything about
what your own family thinks or feels

because you are so consumed
in your own career

your party, your place in history.

No, no. Everything I do is for -

Legacy.

Isn't that the truth of it?

Your righteous, honourable legacy.

Like every other fucking politician,

it's all about your place
in history.

And what I was trying to do,
what Planet Resistance do,

is make sure
there's a fucking future.

And you know
what I learned from them?

The one true measure
of what you believe

is how much
you're prepared to sacrifice for it.

That's my statement of contrition.

(RINGING TONE)

ANNA: "Robert."

Well, she won't help herself.

Refuses to blame anyone else.

She was completely intractable.

Do you want to say 'I told you so'?
Course not.

She'll go to prison.

You're a long way off that.

You know, a part of me
thinks she actually wants that.

What the hell
did Rachel and I do wrong?

Nothing.

This is kids and their parents,
You know that.

It's a requirement that
they take the alternative position.

Strongly.

She is completely pig-headed.

Who does she get that from?

I'm sorry you've been so upset,

but self-pity doesn't suit you.

Give this a few days,
for the wheel to turn.

Yeah.

You're aware that the
Kingdom has issued a statement.

"Our treasured Princess Yadira

has been suffering mental illness
for some time and requests privacy

while she continues to receive
the treatment she requires."

And of course, it behoves us to
take the word of our trusted ally.

Does it, now?

We're facing calls
to demand proof of life, of liberty

and it behoves us
to assuage public outrage.

Oh, come on.

Excuse me?

You heard. She's bonkers.

And this time tomorrow

the wokerati will be pissing
their panties over something else

and will have forgotten
all about a spoilt princess

who can't go shopping for handbags.

Princess Yadira
is a resident of this country.

This happened on British soil.

I want to know if it was criminal.

Of course we can make noises
about investigating,

but the Saladin deal
is the biggest defence contract

we've signed in 40 years, Robert.

The Shirasians need to be confident
they can do business with us,

extremely valuable business,

with good faith on both sides.

Saladin is security, energy, jobs.

Our partners need to know there'll
be no hiccups in moving forward.

Motty, be a dear
and dig out your spin cap,

assuming it isn't
entirely moth-eaten.

The Kingdom of Shirasia is our
long-established strategic partner,

a relationship based
on shared values

in which we'll always
raise the issue of human rights

wherever appropriate.

And as for Saladin, the equipment
and material in question

is of course purely
for agreed defensive purposes

and emphatically not belligerence.

Alternatively...

No comment on the video,
D-notice on Saladin.

After all, an Open Export Licence
is a very closed book.

I'm well aware of the value
of arming the Shirasians.

It's the currency of good faith
I'm questioning.

I want to know if Princess Yadira
was kidnapped.

If so,
what are we going to do about that?

And I do not give a shit
about King Zyan or Prince Samir.

Do I have to make myself any clearer?

(DOOR CLOSES)

What's he doing?

His judgement's gone.

If we get on the tits
of the Shirasians

at this late stage in the deal

they'll never do business
with us again.

I've got breakfast with Samir
tomorrow. I'll calm any nerves.

And even if Robert pushes for some
sort of pantomime investigation,

we're not going to find anything.

Are we?

Peter, you got a minute?

Tick-tock.

You're his Spad. His Spad of Spads.

You silver-tongued devil, you.

Are you sure Archie's
- pushing enough? - Pushing?

Back against the PM's
more unruly inclinations.

Because it looks less like a push
and more like a fucking tickle.

(CHUCKLES) And you'd prefer a shove.

I'd prefer it if the PM's daughter

wasn't demonstrably
queering his pitch.

And if anyone knows what a toxic
bloody liability she is, it's you.

Hello!

Am I late?
No, I was early.

Tube was quick today.
That barely seems credible.

Hello, Archie.
(CHUCKLES)

I thought you'd be heading over
to the Defence Expo.

Shortly.

Don't worry,
you haven't missed a thing.

Except hearing Victoria's
summer holiday plans.

Order some breakfast.
I'm having eggs Royale.

What could be more appropriate?

Although I must say the noises
I'm hearing from Number 10

regarding my little sister are
causing me to lose my appetite.

But you must understand we have
to conjure up an aura of concern

for certain parts of the electorate.

The Princess's mad accusations
aren't worthy of comment.

And I'm rather offended
by the suggestion of bad faith.

Your aura of concern

is looking like a matter
of grave reputational damage

to my family and the Kingdom.
Snuff it.

After all,
the French were most disappointed

when we chose the Saladin deal
over their offering.

And their door
remains very much ajar.

I assure you, there is
no remote jeopardy to Saladin

or any other investment programme.

This is a minor ripple that
can be smoothed out very swiftly.

How IS your sister?

She is happy and well, thank you.

Back at home.
Oh, well, that's wonderful.

If you could demonstrate that,

it would help contradict
some of the ignorant comments

being made about her.
Isn't that right?

Erm... Certainly.

Here are some pictures
of her shopping yesterday in Ararat.

Ah-ha-ha!

Hermes. Lovely!

If you could release
a few of these to the world...

You don't need to do that.

Or a happy video of her on TikTok,
that would help smooth the waters.

Very well.

I'm flying home tonight.

I'd like an update once I land

confirming that there will be
no further... ripples of distrust.

Of course.

Bravo, Archie.

Don't ever fucking gatecrash
my meetings again.

Conventional mortars have
always been crude instruments...

(OVERLAPPING
PROMOTIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS)

(PROTESTORS SHOUTING)

(PROMOTIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTINUE)

...anti-personnel mine system
features a...

...next generation precision-guided
mortar munition, Damocles XR.

GPS co-ordinates
of the shooter and the target

calibrate the elevation and azimuth

of the tube
and the mortar round itself...

(SHOUTING CONTINUES)

Peaceful protest is welcome,
of course,

but we've made it very clear that
any violent or illegal protest today

will be met with
a strong and swift police response.

I spoke with her friend
she worked with at the shop.

Guess how Polly met Nate.

I dunno. At a protest?

Nah, that'd be too obvious.

Tinder, was it?

He walked in front of her bike,
took a tumble.

They had to exchange numbers.

An accident, Fran.

Oh, it's straight
out of the spook playbook.

Little bit of
trauma for them to bond over.

He gets to look vulnerable, magnanimous.

And now he's vanished.

It's not easy to vanish.

It takes skill, training.

And we know that the police
have infiltrated protest groups

for decades. I need
to know if Nate's a part of that

and if anyone was undercover
at Planet Resistance.

Isn't it much more likely
this is Henry trying to deflect

from the very considerable amount
of shit he's in?

You certainly picked your moment
to come back.

Are you sure your poor charred head
can handle it?

I'm needed.

You never could resist
saving him from himself, could you?

Someone has to.

Poor Robert. Down to one wife.

What?

I'm just saying,
you were always very close.

Rachel's side of the bed's
still warm!

Hm. I bet his is warmer.

If anything was going to happen
between Robert and me

it would've happened
a long time ago.

Gerald! Always a pleasure to
see our dear friends at Condor.

I have no doubt
the government will endeavour

to ensure we remain as such.

What else are governments for?

Ah, here she is.

Have you been making chums
with policemen?

I see you've been
keeping the Whitehall end up.

But which end?

A pure delight, as ever, Victoria.
Hello, Gerald.

Have you two had a chance
to discuss the Shirasian deal?

Only briefly.

So, where did you get to?
On Saladin.

I understand Robert's
scaring the Shirasian horses.

I'd really rather he didn't
upset a major customer for good.

Why's he so keen on biting the hand
that feeds the hand that feeds him?

I assure you, Gerald,
Robert is surrounded by people

who won't let him derail things.

All will be -
(SHOUTING)

Murderers! All of you!

Stop the arms trade!

Here's your blood money!

Oi! Come here!

He's not police. Nate Stevens.

Sure?
I asked at the top.

This is a full classified list
of officers.

You look disappointed.

No. Of course not.

If I may, perhaps you should give
a little less credence

to your friend Francine Bridge.

Hello?

Hi?

I don't feel well.

My head really hurts.

Hello?

What a view.

You could've had it too, Len.

Millbank suits me just fine.

Hm. Who wouldn't crave
that perfect aspect on Thames?

We still see the same river.

Don't worry. I won't ask again.

I got the message the last time.

Times.

I just hope those public service principles

are keeping you warm at night.

I have an electric blanket.

You didn't get in touch after seven
years to compliment my feng shui.

What can I do for you?

You'll be aware
that Princess Yadira Al-Bilal

is accusing her own family
of abducting her.

Sounds like a very mixed-up
young woman.

Rhombus provided her security,
I believe.

Provide security for
the whole family across Europe.

Len...

You know I'm not at liberty
to discuss our client list.

Yeah, the issue is her liberty.

We have footage.

It seems to show the Princess
coerced against her wishes

by three men
after attending the races.

We ran facial rec.

They're employees
of Rhombus Strategic Services.

You always were so fastidious.

She's a resident, Zelda.

Look.

Off the record, so to speak.

Yes, we provide security
and protection for the family.

Bread and butter work,
entirely above board.

My internal reports state that
she drank too much at the ponies,

took a turn on the way out.

She's an observant Muslim.

Well, we all need a day off sometimes.

She was escorted, in due course,
to the airport

where she boarded a flight
of her own volition.

To allege otherwise would be...

Well, as I said, mixed up.

I appreciate the clarification.

You'll understand,

the Prime Minister wants to be
categorical there was no illegality.

Lest he be compelled
to a robust response.

Well, he can sleep soundly.

Unless his wife took the bed.

Will that be all?

Much as I'd love to catch up,
I'm afraid I have an appointment.

One more thing, since I'm here,

regarding a person of interest.

Eco-activist.

Only his current identity
is based upon

the birth certificate
of a deceased infant.

Classic tradecraft. Quite.

And given that he isn't police,

I can't help wondering whether
this individual is private sector.

If only YOU were.

Whoever he is, he doesn't
work for us, and never has.

The corporate intel we provide is -

Entirely above board.

Exactly.

I've spent 15 years building Rhombus

into a reliable and trusted
provider of solutions.

We analyse risks.
We don't take them.

Well, I hope not.
For your sake, Zelda.

Ray.

We need to discuss Nathan Scott.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Rachel and her lawyers have got
Ellie released under investigation.

What does that mean?
She can go home.

But she remains under investigation

and charges will almost certainly
follow, to some degree or other.

(RINGING TONE)

Hello?
"Ellie. I just heard the good news."

I'm under house arrest? Great news.

It isn't house arrest, it's -
Are you going to Mum's?

No, I'm going to the hospital.

What? Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm OK
but I'll tell you who's not OK.

My friend Polly, who got fucking
beaten up by one of your cops.

What?!

I need to see her.

Please.

You can't go in so stop asking.

What about doctors?
Have they got to stay out too?

(BEEPING)

Nathan. What's going on, buddy?

150 fucking people.

And I told you
not to think about it.

Are you gonna be a problem for me,
Nathan?

Let's get you home, shall we?

Hi, I think you have my daughter
in here, Polly Wright.

In ICU. She has a police escort.

Hello.
I'm... looking for Polly Wright.

I'm sure you were a good dad to her.

I wasn't.

And? Will she recover?

I'm afraid she was pronounced dead
around eight o'clock.

Robert?

Understood. Thanks.
