to stop what happened to Sarah.
A nuclear warhead nicknamed
Big Boy was h*jacked.
Use the detonator.

We just have to cr*ck it.
It's an IP Address.

I'm going to bring

Archie?
- Yeah.
- Matthew Rogers.
We had an appointment
to meet earlier.
Your professor set it up.
Oh, sh*t.
- I'm sorry.
- MATTHEW: That's alright.
I meant to come and find you,
but I have a 10,000 word essay
on European trade
associations due on Monday.
Plus my roommate's boyfriend
just proposed to her,
and I need to talk her
out of marrying the man
whose greatest ambition in
life is to one day be retired.
Also, there was this
ball, and, you know,
this doesn't just happen.
Of course. Don't worry about it.
I expect your professor told you
why I wanted to speak to you.
- He did not.
- MATTHEW: Oh.
Have you considered
your future, Archie?
Have I considered my future?
Well, let's see
I was top of my class in Junior,
Secondary and
Sixth Form college.
I was first violin in
the school orchestra,
captained the girls
volley and football team.
Was head prefect,
would've been head girl
if it wasn't for
a dirty campaign
run by Katie Clark, which I
refused to lower myself to.
I volunteered for
community projects,
helping disaffected youth
and disenfranchised elderly.
Run a breakfast and
an after school club.
Got fifteen A to A-star GCSEs,
five A-star AS and A2 levels,
I worked at an ethically sourced
cocoa bean plantation in
Costa Rica in my gap year.
I was the first
student from my school
to be awarded an
unconditional offer
to study politics,
psychology, and sociology
at Cambridge University, which
is where you find me now.
If I sound like someone who's
not considered my future.
So, what do you want to do?
I don't know.
Is the champagne still free?
I keep telling you,
it's free all night.
Sometimes it's only free
up until a certain point.
Let me ask you this.
Have you ever thought about
working for your government?
What girl hasn't lustfully gazed
at the civil service
fast track scheme?
I'm not talking about
the civil service.
Five or six?
Excuse me?
MI 5 or MI 6?
I can't tell you.
Which one's the cool one?
The one I'm in.
Right.
The intelligence service
is always on the lookout
for bright young
minds, and your CV
is fairly exceptional so far.
Told you I didn't
make head girl, right?
I heard Katie Clark ran
a real dirty campaign.
Which I wouldn't lower
myself to. That's right.
This is my card.
Is it going to self-destruct
in ten seconds?
- No.
- Am I the first person to make that joke?
- No.
- Okay.
You should call
the number on it.
You know, the price
tag is sticking out
the back of your
dress, by the way.
f*cking spies.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
(SIREN WAILING)
Come on, let's go.
- ARCHIE: Cheers.
- MAN: Beautiful work.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Who the f*ck are you?
I'm not here to hurt you.
ARCHIE: Love to
echo the sentiment.
If you don't tell me who you
are in the next five seconds,
I'm gonna knock your
head through the wall.
You couldn't knock my
head through the wall.
Why not?
MI 5 combat training is a joke.
I'm Shiv.
Who do you work for?
You haven't heard of us.
You robbed an
armored truck today.
I don't expect the adrenaline
hasn't worn off yet.
I find lots of tea with
lots of sugar in it helps.
- Lots of tea with lots of sugar.
- Yeah.
Do you always bring a thermos
when you break into
someone's house?
Well, you never know when people
are gonna run out of tea bags.
How thoughtful.
Exactly. So
I know who you are,
Archie. I know you're MI 5.
I know you're 12
months undercover
in Georgie
Cunningham's operation.
And I know you're
not going to like
what I'm about to tell you.
What's that?
Cunningham is off the hook.
You're going to back off.
Georgie Cunningham has
links to organized crime
throughout Europe
and the Middle East.
He's involved in the smuggling
of dr*gs, weapons, and people.
And now he's got enough
capital behind him
to grow his operation tenfold.
He's not small time.
He's dangerous and
he's going down.
I'm fine for tea.
SHIV: Amazing.
That's almost exactly
what you said last time.
What?
Look, Georgie
Cunningham is a bad man,
and I only wish the
very worst for him,
but if you arrest him, a new
associate of his in Israel
makes a deal with someone
that they shouldn't,
trouble will breed.
Too much trouble,
as it turns out.
And how do you know that?
You know what the interesting
thing about disaster is?
If you break it down,
it's really just an
escalating series
of mundane interactions leading
to a catastrophic climax.
I've been on dates like that.
Look, Archie.
My job is to work out what
would be the simplest,
easiest thing to rearrange
to ensure disaster
doesn't take place.
And, uh,
and that's why I'm in
your kitchen tonight.
I'm sorry. I still
don't understand
what the hell you're
talking about.
Think of this.
A woman goes to leave
her apartment in Paris.
She stops to feed her
cat, takes 20 seconds.
She gets in her car,
she drives through town,
she stalls at a junction.
The vehicle behind her
swerves, its headlights dazzle
the view of the driver coming
the other way and bang.
Princess Diana just
crashed into a tunnel,
Elton John's about to
sell a lot of records.
Now, If I wanted
to go back in time
to stop that from happening,
I could either try
to reroute the princess
or I could get someone
to feed that cat
20 seconds earlier.
You know what I'm
saying. It's, uh,
the simplest of things make
the biggest difference.
I mean, who knows?
Maybe the very act of me
eating that burrito
might change the world.
So I'm the cat lady
in this analogy.
Yeah.
And who's Princess Diana?
- What are you trying to stop?
- I can't tell you.
And you expect me to abort
a year-long undercover
operation for that?
I did.
The first time.
But then you took matters
into your own hands
and bollocked everything
up. So, here we are
trying again.
The thing is, Archie,
I'm not asking.
Cunningham is off the hook.
I suppose the question is
can you live with that?
I could knock your
head through the wall.
I know.
Really, who do you work for?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)
It's called the Lazarus Project.
And I think you'll fit right in.

want us to sedate him?
I can't question him if
he's unconscious, can I?
Put him in restraints and
don't turn your back on him.
- What happened?
- Rebrov k*lled Ryan.
- Ryan from Tech support?
- Yeah.
What was one of the I
guys doing seeing Rebrov?
- I don't know.
- Why would he k*ll him?
- I don't know.
- Where's Shiv and George?
- I don't know.
- You don't know a lot.
- No.
- Let's work on that, shall we?
Yes, ma'am.

I need to get into

- That's Ryan's.
- I know it's Ryan's.
Well, he was here
five minutes ago.
Yeah, he's not here anymore.
Well, he'll probably
be back soon.
No, I really don't
think he will.
Is there an IT guy here?
- Ryan's the IT guy.
- Is there another f*cking guy?
We have a time machine. I
assume we have more than
one person who can
unlock the computer.
No. Ryan's the
only one in today.
f*cking hell. Jesus Christ. Do
me a favor. Get on the phone.
Get all the IT guys we have.
Get them all to come in.
- All of them?
- All of them.
I want an army of nerds walking
through that door in
the next 30 minutes.
Why? Isn't Ryan coming back?
Did you hear the alarm, Dane?
Can you see everyone
running around?
Gosh, did the world end again?
I don't know. Maybe.
IT guys now, please.
Yeah, Okay. Okay.
You worked out where Big Boy is.
I'm gonna bring her back, Shiv.
I'm going to bring

He had a wife

After I speak to you, I'm going
back upstairs to ring them
and tell them that he d*ed
in a workplace accident.
There'll be an investigation
and a large payout.
We'll attend the funeral.
I will watch his family cry
as his body is lowered
into the ground.
So, before I do that, Dennis,
could you tell me
why you k*lled him?
He gave me the code.
The code?
Specific sentence that can
mean normally one thing.
k*ll the person
who just said it.
Back when you're
broadcasting under duress?
Exactly.
Do you still use
ballerina, by the way?
- We changed it.
- Why?
Because you f*cking
know what it is.
WES: So, you don't know
why you k*lled Ryan.
You just knew you had to do it.
DENNIS: That's right.
Who would have
given Ryan the code?
I suspect, ma'am,
it would have been given to him
by the mole working
within this organization.
We don't have a mole.
Sure, the Lost Glory probably
tipped themselves off
that you were coming.
I'm not going to just
tell you where it is.
Not without some guarantees.

Romania.
What are you doing in Romania?
Uh, I'm pursuing a

it's Shiv.
I think he's got
himself into trouble.
Why do you think that?
Well, remember that time me
and him went to visit Rebrov?
Well, he was really drunk
and he kept on talking
about not living with regrets.
Now, he's got himself into
something he couldn't get out of.
Anyway, he kept
mentioning Blackbird.
Blackbird?
Yeah, and I just ran
it as a keyword search
through his bank account.
Are you in a car chase?
- No.
- ARCHIE: George.
I'm not in a f*cking
car chase. Just listen.
The search brought up
a bunch of payments
to an encrypted source, and
it's Janet.
He's been sending
money through her.
Rebrov Janet?
Yeah, they're still in contact.
If you need it verified,
get Ryan or someone
to bring up the payments.
It's all in there.
- Ryan's dead.
- GEORGE: What?
Ryan's dead.
- Rebrov k*lled him.
- GEORGE: Jesus.
Where's Shiv now?
He gave me the slip,
but I'm trying to
catch up with him.
George, if you had
your suspicions,
you should've come to me first.
You don't just go out into
the field on your own.
Yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
I just got this wrong.
You almost certainly are wrong.
Just don't do anything stupid.
And don't approach
him if you see him.
- I'm gonna call you back.
- GEORGE: Yeah, okay.
(COP SIRENS CONTINUE)
ARCHIE: George is in Romania.
- He went there after
- Shiv.
Rebrov says Shiv is the mole.
Shiv would never
betray The Lazarus.
I used to say that about Rebrov.
Whereas I know Shiv
better than anyone.
He wouldn't do this.

George still trailing him.
He lost him.
Well, tell him to find

So, only special

Yes.
And you're one of them.
- Yes.
- But I'm not.
Not yet.
It's all really just a
matter of perception.
Most people's brains can't
process the time jump,
so they reject the memories
of the time they've lost.
A small dose of this
will open up your mind
just enough to jog misplaced
memories to the surface.

It can get messy.
I can do messy.
I've no doubt.
You're 23.
In your lifetime,
we've reset 15 times.
I'm doing a combined total

About eight years.
That's a lot of experiences.
You do this and
you're gonna start
remembering things
from those years.
Sometimes it'll drip feed, but
more often come all at once.
We call this the wave.
The wave?
Like a wave "hello"
to your old memories?
Like a sensory tsunami
hitting your brain
with experiences and emotions
you have no idea you had.
That doesn't sound good.
Well, it really depends
on what happened to you
in the time that got wiped away.
Archie
it's going to be disorientating.
Your mind is going to
try and cope with a huge
influx of data that, frankly,
we're not genetically programmed
to be able to understand.
It's gonna feel like
you're lucid dreaming.
Like you just took acid and
got the world's worst deja vu
