You can't

turn back time

to stop what happened to Sarah.

And are you willing to burn

down everything, to start again?

Yes.

A nuclear warhead nicknamed

"Big Boy" was h*jacked.

The key's the detonator.

So, how do I get in?

I can give you a contact

who can make it for me.

Your name is Jenna, isn't

it? Archie told me about you.

I'm sure she didn't

tell you all of it.

It's a code black. I'm

authorizing us to go back.

- She lost her child.

Makes sense why you want

to blow up the plan?

I don't want to blow the plan.

Oh, just the nuclear detonator

thing suggests differently.

I won't be the one pressing it.

I'll have you.

La, la, good night, good night.

Shiv?

Shiv? Shi

- Oh, my God.

How did you get

You're standing?

Suresh! Suresh, get in here now!

What is it?

Your baby, he's

walking and talking.

What?

He's walking and talking?

I have three kids, Dr. Anand,

I know when something's off.

Yesterday he'd never walked

a step or said a word.

This morning, he

climbed out of his cot

and started talking

in full sentences.

It's like he's developed

six months, overnight.

What's the

matter? Another dream?

The man on the TV,

said there was a w*r.

There was a b*mb,

where granny and grandpa live.

It's okay,

darling. It's not real.

But it is real.

Hey uncle, what

happened to the wall?

Well, I woke up this

morning and decided

to write r*cist graffiti all

over the front of my shop.

What do you think happened?

Skinheads again.

Did they break any

windows this time?

They did not.

Perhaps they thought we're not

worth the price of a brick.

Still, exciting to find

out over and over again

we're from Pakistan.

Always a surprise.

- Can you put this on my tab?

- No!

I'm sorry, Shiv.

No more freebies.

Hey, listen, uh,

your dad's money problems,

they're gonna be okay.

That's very

reassuring, thank you.

I mean it.

I've got a plan.

Keep the change.

Thanks, Bono.

Black Marble. Tea For Charlie.

Lost Girl. Different Cities.

Homeward Bound. Make Do and Mend.

Black Marble. Tea For Charlie.

Lost Girl. Different Class.

Homeward Bound.

Make Do and Mend.

Black marble.

Tea for Charlie.

Lost Girl. Different Class.

we're now receiving reports

that a m*ssile strike is imminent.

With tens of

thousands of troops

I want to put a bet on Black

Marble at the 2:30 at Epsom Downs.

You got ID?

All right. How much?

Five pounds please.

He's got first

run now and he's done it.

Black Marble wins.

sh*t.

Every little helps, I guess.

I can't let you through, son.

- That's my uncle's shop!

- Sorry.

Dad?

Shiv!

They're gone, Shiv.

They're gone.

What happened?

Bloody Fascists

b*rned the place down.

They never stood a chance.

Cousin!

What are you doing? Having

a breakdown or something?

Uh, no, no. I just

uh just uh

Here for some milk, actually.

You're weird, man.

What are you doing here?

Y'know, the guy

with the petrol can

doesn't get to

ask the questions.

We're in debt, Shiv.

My mum and dad think they

can keep this place afloat,

but they can't.

If it ain't the

bailiffs coming round,

it's the f*cking National Front.

- So you're gonna torch it?

- Shh!

I'll make it look

like the NF did it.

We can get the

insurance money and

I could have helped you.

Yeah, by doing what?

Robbing a bank?

Forget

it man. Go home.

Your family are upstairs.

Yeah, I'll take

them out the back

- before the fire takes hold.

- No. You won't.

- By the time it spreads

- "By the time it spreads"?

You're setting a bonfire

next to the spirits

and the magazines,

you stupid dickhead.

It's gonna spread in

ten f*cking seconds.

Trust me.

I know.

What are you doing here?

I came to save you.

Oh, what have you done!

This, this ain't on me.

This ain't on me, man.

Step

back, please, sir.

I haven't done anything.

You did a good

thing tonight, Shiv.

Who are you?

I'm your new boss.

I've been watching

you for a while.

Wasn't sure you were

ready. But I am now.

What are you talking about?

Black Marble.

Tea For Charlie.

Lost Girl. Different Class.

Homeward Bound.

Make Do and Mend.

Why don't you come and sit down?

You're about to

learn some stuff.

You want to know

what all this means?

Yeah.

You should ask The Lost

Glory. Oh no, you can't.

They gave you the slip again.

Where's Big Boy?

Where's the b*mb?

I don't know, Shiv.

You picked me up before

they delivered it.

They're not Royal Mail.

You can't track the

delivery from the depot.

You not gonna smack

me around a bit,

see if I'm telling the truth?

You're gonna stay in that

cell until you tell us.

We've run a program

over all these maps,

they don't correlate to any

known area in our system.

We've tried layering

them, reversing them,

pulling out landmarks.

I'm not sure that

these are real places.

Oh, so the guy just

likes doodling pretend maps?

Clearly not.

There's a code in there.

We just have to cr*ck it.

But all the intel we have,

suggests that The Lost

Glory were communicating

with a splinter cell,

based out of Romania,

that's about it.

Rebrov couldn't

tell us any more?

Well, I spoke to him. He's

not giving us anything.

What did you mean

when you said you'd

talked to Rebrov?

An interrogation.

What does interrogation mean?

Do you need a dictionary?

Do you need a copy of

the Geneva convention?

I'm not torturing him, George.

The last time I saw him,

he looked like he'd run

into the back of a truck.

What were you doing seeing him?

I wanted to talk to him.

Sorry, should that

be "interrogate"?

What expression do we use

when we've spoken to someone

and not beaten them senseless?

- What did you talk about?

- Oh, not much.

He wasn't in the

mood for a chat.

Maybe cause one of my colleagues

had already made him

swallow his own teeth.

I don't know.

I got some shitty intel once.

And things went bad and

we're still paying for it.

All cause the guy whose job

it was to get the truth,

didn't do his job.

If you're a road sweeper,

you can make a mistake.

If you're a traffic cop,

you can make a mistake.

If you work here,

you cannot make a

f*cking mistake.

That's the beginning,

middle and end of it.

- You sh*t the wrong man.

- He used his decoys.

Intel f*ck-up.

She had more time than my son.

Take me to it.

Put it down.

Janet, I'm sorry.

You need to run.

What are you gonna do?

You gonna sh**t me, Shiv?

Why don't you come back?

We can talk about this.

I don't think so.

I'm out.

What about Janet?

Are you gonna leave her?

- And the baby?

- You leave them out of it!

I can't do that.

Have you ever considered we

might not be the good guys?

I've thought about it.

And?

And I think we're the

f*cking good guys.

What does that make me then?

Well I think that entirely

depends on the next few minutes.

This is all your

fault, you know?

This is all on you.

Dennis!

- Dennis!

All you had to do

was sh**t the right man.

You okay?

f*ck off.

I'm taking

you to the hospital.

Dennis.

- This is Shiv, Janet.

I've got Dennis with me.

He's been wounded in the leg,

but he's gonna be okay.

I need you to come

into the office.

I want

to speak to my husband.

Can't let you do that.

You owe

me, Shiv. You owe us both.

I'm gonna drop him

off at the hospital,

then I'm coming to pick you up.

You have an hour.

No one goes in or out.

I've got people

coming to pick him up.

Shiv?

- Yeah.

We've lost him.

Rebrov, he broke the

neck of a guard and fled.

And Janet?

Gone.

Jesus Christ, Shiv.

How did this happen?

Clocking off time.

- Let's grab a pint.

- Um

I'm not really in the mood.

Well, I'm not really in

the mood to drink alone

and I outrank you,

so get your coat.

Does Lazarus t*rture people?

It's happened.

"Happened" is past

tense. It's happening.

Now. Shiv's kicking ten

bells out of Rebrov.

No, he isn't.

Why's he got a black eye then?

'Cause I hit him.

Why?

Cause there's a nuclear

warhead on the loose

and I'd tried everything else.

Do you feel good about that?

Right now, there's hundreds

of thousands of lives

in the balance.

Do I support t*rture? No.

Do I cry myself to sleep

'cause the guy that

can stop all of this,

got slapped around a little

bit? No. Not if we win.

- He used to be your friend.

- "Used to be."

- Past tense.

- Yeah, what happened?

Things went bad.

Mistakes were made.

Here we all are.

Rebrov said Shiv

used waterboarding

- He's lying.

- How do you know?

'Cause I know.

Maybe you'd know for

sure if you hadn't taken

the security cameras

out of the cell.

Say, you think a

b*mb's about to go off

and you couldn't reset,

would you t*rture him then?

Would you pull his teeth out?

Would you blind him?

Would you cut his

f*cking balls off?

I'm just trying

to establish where

the line of moral certainty

starts to blur for you.

I'll cut your f*cking

balls off in a minute.

- Archie.

- You didn't join

the boy scouts, George.

We deal with big stuff

here. People get hurt.

Sometimes, badly.

Sometimes, by you.

Well, perhaps you

should have told me that

when you recruited me.

That nagging feeling

of doubt you have

in the back of your head,

learn to ignore it.

But hope it never goes away.

Thanks for the pint.

We need

to talk about the funeral.

George?

Yeah. Sorry, yeah.

Uh, I need to organize it.

We can

do all of that for you,

you don't need to worry.

No, she's my wife, I

should be the one

George?

- Nothing. Sorry.

She wasn't my wife.

You know what I mean.

It's okay.

It's, it's awful, all of it.

How are you coping? Are

you talking to someone?

There's no shame in it.

Maybe you and me should

go for a pint sometime.

George?

I have to go, Ian.

Just leave it with

me. I'll fix it.

Highest point

Highest point

From 227meters

So, you got the highest

point for each map.

Two fifty-five, sixty-four.

Thirty-two meters.

So five points, five numbers.

A sequence of five numbers.

It's an I

It's an IP address.

IP address from the data.

Romania.

Got ya.

Archie? It's um, it's George.

I'm just calling 'cause

Archie's away from her

desk. This is Shiv.

Oh.

Cool. Okay.

Uh, well, yeah, I-I'm I'm

just ringing in because

I'm not feeling well.

Got a bug or something.

Chucking up all night.

Think I need to take

a day or two off.

Okay.

I ate something, maybe?

Well, I

hope you feel better soon.

Thank you.

Hey, Ryan, I need to get a look

at an individual's bank

accounts for the last month.

Uh, yeah, uh, have

you got the paperwork?

It's time-sensitive.

I mean, we can get a retroactive

warrant after the fact,

but it's risky.

I'll front it, don't worry.

Okay, um

Whose account do you need?

- Agent Addo.

- George?

This is between

me and you, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Yeah. Forget it. Thanks.

Um

I need you to find the

account for George's partner.

I don't know her surname,

but her first name's Sarah.

She was a teacher at a

primary school and um,

she's dead.

But her account

might still be open.

- Are you sure about this?

- Yes.

Okay.

Hey.

What are you looking at?

Some bullshit.

Nothing interesting.

Where's George today?

Uh, he called. He can't come

in. Not feeling himself.

I'm heading out.

Call me if anything comes up.

I want live updates

on those accounts.

I don't care if he's just

buying bog roll and milk,

I want to know about it.

Where are you going?

Bucharest.

I

need you to look up

what variables of destination

spending 57 Romanian Lei

at Bucharest train

station will get you.

Sure thing.

Be quick. My plane's boarding.

There's five

destinations you can get to

by spending that amount.

Three direct trains

and two with changes.

They're kind of

spread out though.

Send me

through the options

and any updates on

the card, let me know.

Have a good flight.

- Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to Bucharest Henri

Coanda International Airport.

Thanks.

You said there were five

possible destinations

with the ticket price he paid.

How many of those destinations

depart from platform one?

Uh, one! Brasov.

I don't see it on the board.

Uh, there's work on the line,

they're having to

change at Mizil.

Right. Next service to

Mizil isn't for two hours.

A taxi can get you there in one.

Yeah.

He just made

a purchase for 4.99 pounds,

for an in-game upgrade

of ten golden gemstones.

Okay. Thanks.

Need receipt?

Hey, guys, move!

Please, come.

Oh, he run.

- Agh!

Hey!

Hey, man. What's up?

You're a f*cking idiot.

What the hell are you doing?

Did you see me fall

out that window?

That was intense.

You worked out where Big Boy is.

Yeah.

Well, now you're gonna

tell me where it is.

- No.

- George.

You don't want to

go down this path.

Look at me, man.

I think I think

I'm down the path.

No, you're not.

You're grieving.

You're not just grieving,

you're going through something

almost no one in history

has gone through.

You've lost someone and you have

the chance to bring them back.

That's some pretty f*cking

heavy sh*t, George.

Yeah, it's it's

pretty f*cking heavy.

But you can't do it.

You can't put hundreds of

thousands of lives at risk.

You can't turn back millions

of lives just because you can.

You know that.

Deep down you know that.

It's actually not

that deep down.

So come back with me.

I promise, we can sort this.

You're not like Rebrov.

You're not gonna do

the things he's done.

Agh!

Does anyone else

know about this?

I'm gonna bring her back, Shiv.

I'm gonna bring you back too.

The first thing I'm

gonna do is come for you.

I know.

Uh, I need to see the prisoner.

I have a message for you.

Big plans are afoot.

Step away from him!

Get back!
