03x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Look, that isn't
a long-term solution, Lana.

You need to find
a better way to cope.

I can't let you end up like him.

ISAAC: 'What kind of a b*stard
does a thing like this?'

Maybe he thought
it was the only way to get justice.

Did you know them?
I don't think so.

You? No.

You can't lock these things away.
It'll catch up with you in the end.

'People who ran the
Coldmarsh contract lied for money.'

'Yes.'

'Knowing full well that people
would die as a result.'

'This isn't just
where he's keeping her.

'This is his workshop.'

HASS OVER RADIO: 'EXPO 1, this is
Bronze Command. What's going on?'

Jo. The video's not live.

BATRA: 'What do you mean?' Jo.

I mean the video's on a time delay.
She's dead.

I told you he was wasting our time.

All those that were paid to lie...
they're gone.

I'm sorry you had to suffer so long.

WEAKLY: We got them.

We got them. Make it quick.

We're after anything
to do with the Coldmarsh contract.

They know about the theft?

Went all the way up to the CEO.
CEO?

They just found out that the b*mber
stole 80 kilos of slurry.

We could be standing
on a massive b*mb.

Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Photo-sensitive switch
behind the body,

and we've got a PIR movement sensor
above the door.

It's everywhere.
It's all over the room.

Wash, how many pills did you take?
BEEPING

The light-sensitive switch
must have triggered the fuse,

and it's burnt the wires.

So, connect the wires
and bridge the circuit.

No, it won't reach. Pull harder!

BEEPING INTENSIFIES
It won't reach!

BEEPING

Wash, come on! Pull!

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

OK, connect the wires
to bridge the circuit, Wash.

I'm trying.

Come on, mate.
I'm trying, Hass. It won't reach!

Just pull harder, Wash.
There's not enough wire!

Just pull, mate.
You've got this. Just pull!

BEEPING CONTINUES

ECHOING: 'Stay focused, Wash.

'Keep talking to me.
Are you seeing anything?

'Just pull.' ECHOES

'Wash, how many pills did you take?'

BEEPING INTENSIFIES

BEEPING STOPS

BEEP, SHE PANTS

You can come through.
Yeah? Yeah.

BEEP You can come through!

It's safe.

Quick.

Come through! ELECTRICAL BUZZING

STEADY BEEPING

You bridged the circuit
with the pills?

Yeah. Whoa.

I don't wanna talk about it.
I wasn't gonna say anything.

OK, we just need to find
the power source, so move quick.

Yep, on it. On it, mate.
On it, on it.

OK.

Yeah, take your time [!]
I'm doing it, Wash.

OK.

Hang in there, Wash. OK.

Yeah, yeah, nearly there.

Found the source!

UNDER BREATH: Please work.

STEADY BEEPING CONTINUES

OK, it's a simple snip.

Ah! UNDER BREATH: Come on.

Let go, mate. Clear?

Yeah, you can let go. Let go.

You can let go, Wash.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

SHE EXHALES f*cking hell.

Mate, you are seriously
off your f*cking game.

It's the pills, yeah?

I know how you feel.
You're struggling.

For me, it was the booze.

I'm not gonna take any more.

Yeah, and then what happens?

Bronze Command, EXPO 1.
Device neutralised.

We'll talk about this later.

You guys took your time.
Yeah, very funny [!]

You all right? Yeah.

Yeah. Good.

HE SIGHS

Thanks.

...ordnance unit,
which will make today's tragedy

even more distressing, of course,

to the police teams
investigating what has happened.

The man has been named as expl*sives
officer Richard Manning...

Are we covered...
if this comes back at us?

We are, sir, yes.

Thanks.
Hey, is, erm... is Wash OK?

She'll be fine.
But she's not now?

I trust her with my life.

You're sure about that?

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

'He's wasting our time.'

We're missing something.
He wants us out the way.

What do you think he's doing?

Something that involves


JESSICA: The sector value
has seen a 2.4% increase,

and we'll remain
comfortably ahead of that

when we sign the new Government
contract in the coming days.

What about the theft?

Sir? Our missing expl*sives.

If it gets out
that we mislaid 80 kilos,

we can say goodbye
to any Government contract,

and probably to our jobs as well.

It won't.

Not even with, er...

everything going on
around Coldmarsh?

DBN Construction hasn't been flagged
as a problem.

Very few are connecting us
to current events.

There have been
some comments online,

but I'm confident
DBN's legacy won't harm us.

PHONE RINGS,
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Tell them I'm busy.

Thank you.

Time to put that confidence
to the test, Jessica.

The police are downstairs,
asking to speak with you.

BATRA: These letters
are all from Akermark,

but they're addressed
to different people.

"I regret to inform you
that we cannot pay any compensation"

"relating to
the Coldmarsh contract."

"The decision is due to our company
not being liable"

"for the action
of DBN Construction."

"I must inform you
that there is no way of proving"

"that your health struggles
are in any way related"

"to an Akermark Group."

These are all signed
by Anders Larsson. Who's that?

He's the Akermark CEO,

the same person that covered up
the recent expl*sives theft.

They said they didn't know
anything about Coldmarsh.

This says different.

Must be hundreds of letters here.

He's gonna use
their own expl*sives against them.

PHONE BUZZES

Akermark didn't alert us to the fact

that a substantial amount
of licensed expl*sives

were missing from their stocks.

As I've already explained,

the missing stock has only just
been brought to our attention.

The site manager you questioned

has been falsifying information
to cover his own negligence.

PHONE BUZZES

And the stock discrepancy case

has been brought to the attention
of Mr Larsson

because he takes matters
such as this very seriously.

Keep trying her. Yeah.

HASS: What's going on?

We think they're targeting
the CEO of Akermark.

DS Morgan has gone
to talk to him now.

What, 80 kilos for one man?
Yeah, exactly.

He's going for something
even bigger.

SIREN BLARES

Bronze Command, EXPO 1.

I saw some floor plans
in the b*mber's workshop.

I need to know which part

of the Akermark building
they refer to, ASAP.

BATRA: 'We'll look into it,
but they're only partial plans.

'We need more to go off.

'EXPO 1, there's still no word
from DS Morgan.'

Has she got any other officers
with her?

'DC Brenton's there,
but their phones must be on silent.'

What's the ETA?
ETA five minutes.

Who are you calling?

Out of interest,
what would your shareholders say

if they knew that your expl*sives
were being used by a serial b*mber?

Is that a threat?

Of course not.

Because we'll know
where it came from

if it were to enter
the public domain...

and we will take action.

Now that's a threat.

If you need anything else,

we're ready to co-operate
in full with your investigation,

as we have to date.

DS Morgan, DC Brending.

It's Brenda... Brenton.

It's Brenton.

LIFT CHIMES, SHE MUTTERS

What is it?

That guy. Did you see him?
See what?

Call DCI Batra. Tell him
we need officers on location.

Helen? Sorry.

HASS: Wash! Yeah?

Comms on three! Yeah, got it.

expl*si*n

CAR ALARM BLARES

SIREN WAILS

We need a 200-metre cordon
for civilians,


the emergency aid vehicles.

OK, understood. Er, no sign
of DS Morgan or DC Brenton?

No, Sir.

Well, where's Lana?
She's gone in.

She thinks he's planning
something else.

BRENTON: Sarge?!

Can you hear me? DS Morgan?

Helen, are you there?
ALARM BLARES


Yes, Sir.

EXPO 1, this is Bronze Command.
We are 0-6.

LANA ON RADIO:
'Bronze Command, EXPO 1.'

The device that detonated
wasn't 80 kilos.

ALARM BLARES

I think it was designed
to clear the building,

trying to get everyone out of here.

What's the evacuation time?

'Plans say it will take


Right, well,
then that's how long we've got

to find and disarm the device.

'How can you be sure?'
Because I know. I know him.

He wants to bring it down.

Can he do that? Yeah.

If he knows what he's doing.

He's got some experience in
demolition and construction, so yes.

'Well, if I can get
to the device in time,

'I can disarm it
before he detonates.'

EXPO 1,
if he's gonna demolish the building,

you need to get out of there now.

Right, well, he doesn't wanna hurt
innocent people.

He wants to make a statement.
He wants Larsson.

What bigger statement
than taking down the whole building?

Absolutely not.
It's too much of a gamble.

That's my job. I take risks.

Sorry, sorry.
Brenton. You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, fine.
Where's Helen?

Er, we... we were leaving, erm...

she saw someone suspicious,
went to check,

and that's when it happened.

I couldn't find her after.
There was a lot of smoke.

Yeah, yeah. All right, what floor?
The eighth.

OK, that's too high for demolition.

He must have been rigging
somewhere else.

Did you see where he came from?
No. I-I... I can't be sure.

What did you see?
Did you see anything up there?

Any devices? Anything at all.
Helen might have. I can't be sure.

I... All right, get out of here.

TANNOY: 'Please leave the building
by the nearest emergency route.

'This is not a drill.'

Phil. PHIL: Sir.

We think the b*mber's targeting
the company CEO, Anders Larsson.

He may or may not be
in the building.

We don't have that information yet.
Can we go in?

No. There's a potentially
massive device.

No-one goes in until EXPO 1
has found it and made it safe.

Sir. Hm?

Bronze Command, EXPO 1.
Go ahead, EXPO 1.

DC Brenton's on his way out to you.

DS Morgan's possibly trapped
on the eighth floor.

I'm gonna go get her now.

Your priority is to find
and disarm the device.

'Yeah, well, that's like looking
for a needle in a haystack.'

Helen saw someone suspicious
before the primary detonated.

She's got information.

'Exit the building
by the nearest emergency route.

'This is not a drill.'

'Any news on the b*mber's workshop
and the floor plans?'

No. Checking on that now.

Right, ECM on. Jammers running.
HASS: OK.

Might struggle
with a building this size.

And Wash is on her own.

ALARM BLARES

SHE COUGHS

BRENTON: Sir. Sir, I-I...

I tried. I couldn't find her.
There was so much smoke.

It's all right, it's all right, you
did well. You did well, OK, Neil?

But just patch yourself up,
get back on it, OK?

We've got work to do. Sir.

EXHALES DEEPLY

Helen!

Helen!

Helen!

MORGAN COUGHS

Helen! MORGAN: Lana!

Helen? Talk to me. Where are you?

MORGAN COUGHS

OK, just stay wherever you are.

I'm coming.

Lana!

MORGAN GRUNTS

Keep talking to me. Lana?

OK, I've got you.

WHIRRING FALTERS

MORGAN GROANS
OK, yeah. Are you hurt?

No, I'm fine, I'm fine.
Are you sure?

Is Neil here?
Don't worry about Neil.

You... CLANKING

OK, OK. Yeah, we need to move.
Help me, help me lift it.

Move, quick! GROANS

Agh!

Are you OK?

MORGAN COUGHS Are you OK?

He's here. He's here. I saw him.

The b*mber's in the building.
I saw him. OK.

Right, the b*mber
was in the building.

Say again, EXPO 1?

I said the b*mber
was in the building.

'Why would he still be here?'

'He must have control
of the device.'

OK, keep the ECM on.
The b*mber's here. OK.

OK, eyes outside.

There's every chance
he could be hiding with the workers.

'If you find him, we might be able
to stop him detonating.'

DC Brenton.

Get a list of everyone
who signed into the building, OK?

And then cross-check that
with those who have been evacuated.

Any inconsistency, no matter
how small, come straight back to me.

Understood? Sir.

Helen, keep moving.

I'm gonna keep my comms down.

I need you to tell them
everything you saw. OK. Go, go.

Sir, on the eighth floor,

I saw someone that looked like
the expl*sives theft suspect.

'Description, IC1 male.'

Wearing a baseball cap,
about six foot tall.

BRENTON: Sir?

What is it?

There. You see? In the cap,
just going past the trees here.

I think he'd come from the staircase
in the middle of the building.

EXPO 8, do we know where that leads?

HASS: 'It's a utility stairwell,
used for service and maintenance.'

All right, check it against
the floor plans that we found.

OK, so the floor plans
that you found

look like they match the maintenance
level on the second floor.

The quickest way there
is via the utility stairwell

in the centre of the building.

'I'll head there now.'

BATRA: Out the way! Move! Move!

There.
CTSFO: Stop! Armed police!

Armed police!

Hey! f*cking stop!

Cap off, hands up, turn around.
Do it now.

Cap off. Do it now! Turn around!
Hands up! Put your hands up!

ALARM BLARES

PHIL: Trojan 1.
DS Morgan's making her way out.

DS Morgan!
Move, move, move. This way. Careful.

DOOR SHUTS

That's strange.

No external wires, cables.

"Absence of the normal,
presence of the abnormal."

SHE EXHALES

ON RADIO: 'Received that, Sir.
We're on it, Sir.'

Now, listen, I don't know
what you're talking about.

I-I-I don't know anything
about this.

BATRA: Where were you coming from?

I was coming from over there,
from the other side of the building.

Do you know anyone
inside the building?

No, no.
I don't know what's going on.

Where are you heading to?
I'm going to a friend's.

Er, they... they...
they live over there.

Sir! Sir!

Helen, are you OK?
That's not him.

What? That's not the b*mber.

Are you sure? Yeah.

He must still be in the building.

EXPO 8, this is EXPO 1.
Think I've found the devices.

There's three of them.

Well, somebody
should have seen this coming.

How have we let one man
do so much damage?

No, I'm leaving now.

Yeah, I'll, er...
I'll call you when I'm out.

HE GROANS

Ah, I'm too old for this sh*t.

TANNOY: 'This is not a drill.'

Wash?

What we got here?
These three units.

They kinda look new.

It's like someone left them
in a hurry.

Yeah. Exactly.
Something's not right.

It's the central column of the
building, perfect for demolition.

That's a sh*t welding job.
WASH CHUCKLES FAINTLY

Definitely hiding something.

Yeah. We're gonna have to drill it.
Yeah.

HE PANTS

Look at me.

Look at me!

Did you see
the Jo Adeyemi confession?

Yes.

Well, then you'll know
what this is about.

I hunted down the six people
who ran Coldmarsh,

the six people who lied
about the asbestos report.

They lied to protect a company
that you bought,

that you made money out of.

Right, we're in.

Yeah, looks like slurry.

You see this?

This...

This watch was a company gift.

To thank me for everything
I'd done for them.

Everything that I sacrificed.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah, same here.

If that's in all three units,
that could be the whole 80 kilos.

Yeah.

He's bringing it down.

I'll give them ten minutes
to clear the building.

And then...

...then I'm gonna push this button,

and it's gonna trigger a device

that will release 80 kilos
of expl*sives -

your expl*sives -

into the central column
of this building,

and everything
will come tumbling down.

Can't see a trigger.

Can't see a timer.

So the b*mber must be in control.

Agreed.

I'll destroy your building.
I'll destroy your company.

And I'll destroy you.

As soon as I push this button...
it's over, for both of us.

CATCH CLICKS

This is gonna take some time.

EXPO 8 Bravo, EXPO 1.

WREN ON RADIO: 'Go ahead.'

Yeah, we've found
a large, complex device

hidden within three consumer units.

'It could be the 80 kilos of
expl*sives we've been looking for.

'We're gonna need to disrupt it.'
OK, I'll prep the Pigstick.

They're gonna need
something bigger than that.

EXPO 1, this is EXPO 1 Bravo.
I'll prep the MLVD.

Nice timing, EXPO 1 Bravo.
Good to have you back.

Well, they can't keep
a good man down for long,

especially when there's work to do.

SHE CHUCKLES

Come with me.
The vehicle's this way, yeah?

Er, what is
EXPO 1 Bravo doing here?

That was my shout, Bronze Command.

Yeah, if we're gonna get
the job done, I need my whole team.

HE SIGHS

What?

Come on, get clear.

COUGHING

Akermark had nothing to do
with Coldmarsh.

We bought DBN Construction,
but that's the extent of it.

I know. I saw the letters.

You said the same thing
to everyone who wrote to you

asking for compensation for what
DBN Construction did to them.

There was no case.
Nothing was proven.

W-We didn't know anything.
Well, Jo Adeyemi did.

The other five execs did.

And so did you.

I didn't know anything!
That is why it has to end here.

Because you and your predecessors
decided it would be cheaper...

...cheaper to buy the silence of six,

rather than pay out to the hundreds
who you sentenced to death.

How did you think
that it was gonna pan out, hm?

You think we'd just get too sick
to fight?

You underestimated us.

And now, in five minutes,
we'll get our justice.

BATRA: What is it?

This is
a Modular Large Vehicle Disruptor.

I'm placing plastic expl*sives
inside these three chambers.

The water...

...goes in here.

The plastics explode, and the water
covers the device so fast,

it basically separates them
before the circuit can be completed.

A b*mb to stop a b*mb.

Come on.

All set, Wash.

Yeah.
Batra didn't know I was coming?

Don't ask, don't be disappointed.
We needed you.

I needed you.
Probably get fired anyway.

Nah, you know I got you, right?
Yeah.

Building's nearly evacuated.
Tell Batra we need as much time

as possible, whatever he can do.
Come on.

Welcome back, Danny.

CATCH CLICKS

PHONE BUZZES

Pl... Can I? I-It might be my kids.
C-C-Can I get that?

BUZZING CONTINUES

Stick it on speaker.

Hello? 'This is DCI Amar Batra.

'Is that Anders Larsson?'

Yes. 'OK.'

I'm gonna need you to answer two
questions for me. Can you do that?

Yes. 'Right.

'Are you still inside the building?'

I am. 'OK.'

And are you alone?

CATCH CLICKS

OK. Anders, I need you
to tell whoever you're with

that I have officers
inside the building.

'They're trying to evacuate
not only your building

'but multiple buildings
in the surrounding areas,

'some of which are residential,

'which have occupants
who may need assistance.'

'You have two minutes
to get everyone to safety.'

DISCONNECT TONE

BATRA ON RADIO:
'EXPO 1, this is Bronze Command.

'We've made contact with the b*mber.

'You have two minutes
until detonation.'

Oh, for f*ck's sake. HASS GRUNTS

Yeah, we're rigging the MLVD now.

Right, move, Hass. f*ck.

Phil. Sir.

We have confirmation the b*mber
is still inside the building.

OK? So stand by.

Once EXPO
have neutralised the device,

you and your team will move in.
Understood.

You're gonna
bring the building down...

...with people in it...

...and you say
that we're the murderers?

People need to know the truth.

No-one's gonna remember your cause,
just the innocent people you k*lled.

HASS: 'OK, we're good.'

MLVD in place. Rigging det cord.

Nearest safe distance
will be the atrium.

All right, let's go.

Wash? Coming.

Oh, f*ck. Wash. What?

We're out of cable.
Oh, for f*ck's sake.

Yeah, we're not at a safe enough
distance here, mate.

OK, well, you go, and I'll
trigger the device from here.

No, no, no. Wash, we're too close.

We're not safe here.

Just go.

What?

Wash, I know you're struggling, but
you've gotta stop doing this, OK?

Hass, not now.

Sonya would k*ll me
if I let anything happen to you.

Wait, you know a...?

What part of "get the f*ck out
of here" don't you understand?

You're f*cking stubborn,
you know that?

Bronze Command, this is EXPO 1.
EXPO 8's on his way out to you.

'We ran out of electrical cable,

'so I'm gonna trigger the MLVD
from here.'

PHONE BUZZES

Steven. 'Hey.'

I don't have long, but...

...you're gonna hear it soon enough.

But... I wanted you to know from me.

I'm the one.

'I'm the one who's been doing this.'

I got the confession,
so the truth is out there.

'I need people to know
why I did it.'

Why... I'm not a bad person.

I'm not.

Steven, calm down. You're...
'I'm not like them.'

Not like DBN Construction
and Akermark.

Akermark?

I had to put things right.
You know that. I had to.

For her.

We've found Larsson.

'There's no pulse,
but his body is still warm.

'The target must still be

'Are we clear to use lethal force?'

The orders are
to detain the suspect.

We've not yet been able
to confirm a visual ID.

Hey!

EXPO 1 in pursuit of suspect.

Hey! Hey!

Don't you come any closer.

So, your b*mb didn't work.

What are you gonna do now?
You should've left it.

If the building had come down,
the company would've been bankrupt.

You stay back!

Yeah, I know.

And they deserve it.

What, you agree with me?

Well, no, I can't do that.

You k*lled my mate.

That wasn't supposed to happen.

Look, I can't agree
with your methods,

but I get what it's like to work
for a sh*t organisation.

BOTH CHUCKLE LIGHTLY

You need to let me go.
