(tense music)
(electricity buzzing)
[Batra] Well, this is clearly a sophisticated
terrorist attack. - Stop!
(explosion booms)
[Hassan] And you had to be the one to run after.
Could just do without you making my life
any harder than it is right now.
We have reason to believe that this event
has been targeted by a violent terrorist group.
(panels clanking)
(explosion booms)
That bomb removed by my team would've flattened your house
and killed everyone in it. - Understood.
I've had enough of dancing to their tune.
And we'll start by bringing Alex into custody.
I'm not one of them. I'm not part of it.
I'm just a tech guy.
[Lana] We need to know what they're planning next.
It could be anything. They're messing with your heads.
If you've got any feelings
or anything on your plate that you wanna talk about,
then you know I'm here, yeah?
My daughter died. She was being bullied online.
She took her own life.
The police, well, they didn't do a damn thing.
Start by telling me everything you know.
(tense music)
(door squeaks)
(tense music)
(tense music increases)
Alex gave me a verbal description of each gang member,
and they're led by a woman, suspect A.
I can run the description through our date bases.
[Lana] Ta.
So Alex turned up on your doorstep?
Yeah. Last night, asking for help.
And he's risking his life to help us.
I gave a clear order. I wanted him brought in.
Yes, sir.
Look, if he approaches you again, you call it in.
If you hear anything from him, you call it in.
I don't care if it's hard to speak in front of him.
You find a way to communicate with us. Do you understand?
Yes, sir. Understood.
[John] All right, share these descriptions
with the other agencies.
Sonya, what else have we got?
Uh, we've been able to pinpoint
that the RDX likely originated in Poland.
They have a well-developed black market.
It's easy to source.
Importing RDX into this country is not as easy.
It means having people at strategic points
both here and in Eastern Europe.
Uh, we've been talking to Polish counter intelligence ABW.
They've been tracking an illegal arms dealer.
Now, about a year ago,
they obtained footage
of their target speaking to Nicholas Hood,
our power station bomber,
when he was in Poland for his chess tournament.
They shared the video within Interpol,
but since Nick's nationality was then unknown,
it hasn't been flagged with UKIC until now.
And look. A woman.
Well, could this be the same woman
who killed DCI Youngblood, suspect A?
Oh, GCHQ can do a biometric analysis. Yeah.
- [John] And who's that? - Suspect B.
We'll crosscheck the suspects
with the CCTV from the crime scene
in the hours leading up to each attack.
Okay, circulate the image of suspect B
to every officer on the force.
I want an all patrol ops.
But what about press, social media?
No, if we tip the public off,
they'll go to ground and we'll never catch them.
The element of surprise is our strongest play.
And remember, the order is report, follow. Do not detain.
- On it, sir. - Sir.
The one connection between all the Wave attacks
is Webster King whose house was nearly destroyed yesterday.
Yeah, our financial crime specialists are on the case,
but Webster King has interests in the power station
and was owner via the British Virgin Islands
of the Tritia Global Analytics data company.
So?
So he was also former business partner
of Cabinet Minister Matthew Polfrey
and owner of Bullion Wharf,
the scene of the scooter attack.
He could provide insight
into the gang's next potential target.
Let me deal with Webster King.
(tense music)
(person knocking)
It'll take more than a bomb to stop me.
Thanks for calling.
Okay. Commander.
- [John] Sir. - Thanks for coming.
I'm sorry if I wasn't fully appreciative yesterday.
It was a close call. Your team saved my life.
Well, uh, that's what we're here for, sir.
Do you have any leads?
We have one man in custody.
The attackers appear to be revolutionary anti-capitalists.
The militant wokerati.
Indeed.
We do wonder,
why do you think they're singling you out in particular?
So many business people these days pretend
to buy into all that ethical green crap.
But I'm honest.
When it comes to making money,
you have to get your hands dirty.
So these attacks are personal.
When I take over a failing company,
you have to cut back a lot of dead wood.
[John] Which would create some enemies.
Winners always have enemies.
My assistant tells me I get a lot of hate mail.
I'll have her share it with you.
Of course if it's all the same to you,
my wife is very keen we take our honeymoon.
I've got a small island in the Adriatic.
It's pretty safe there. She was a bit shaken.
Yes, of course. (cellphone rings)
- [Webster] That's her now. - It's quite understandable.
We'll be flying tomorrow. Don't hesitate to get in touch.
Of course I wanna know about any developments
and I am most anxious to help.
The home secretary speaks very highly of you.
Commissioner material she thought.
Thank you, sir. Uh, that's, uh, that's very generous.
[Officer] It's the best angle we've got.
Coming from this direction.
[Helen] Sir, what have you got?
Well, initially nothing,
but we just widened the parameters around the search again
and look, see.
From Bullion Wharf,
the CCTV cameras in the immediate vicinity
were disabled for the actual attack.
So we checked approximately 20 minutes
before the scooter bomb.
[Helen] It's the same guy.
Yeah. Yeah, it is. Suspect B
Sir.
Hello.
(speaks foreign language)
We've got a second property leased to Nick Hood.
[Officer On Radio] Central 35 to all units.
RVTs, Arkham Road, SW19.
High risk of IED.
(sirens drown out radio)
(sirens blaring)
So he rents out a few properties.
The scooter bombs caught his attention
and he recognised Nick Hood from the photograph.
Hood has been a tenant for about 12 months.
Yeah.
(tense music)
Letter box is glued shut.
I can't see anything behind the door.
We're gonna need access to the rear.
(tense music)
(insect buzzing)
(door rattles)
(tense music)
Absence of wires on entry.
(gate rattles)
Well, it looks like no one's living here.
And we've got what looks like a brand new filing cabinet
in the middle of a kitchen.
(drill buzzing)
(suspenseful music)
We've got a lot of paperwork in draw two.
I can see a driving licence, but it's face down.
I'm gonna send you some screenshots. Hold on.
Understood. Take your time.
(camera clicks)
(drill buzzes)
Shit. Expo two to all units. We have IED contact.
Light sensitive switch attached.
I'm gonna have to use the expanding foam.
We need to cover the LDR.
(tense music)
(spray whooshing)
(tense music)
Expo two to all units.
LDR is covered, but the device is still live.
This is just a temporary fix.
All units to wait out until neutralised.
(tense music)
I've been monitoring internal police coms
and look whose photo they've got.
Where is he?
[Gang Member 1] He's gone to get supplies.
We need to get him back here now.
Okay.
(tense music)
[Lana] This driving licence...
Yeah?
It's got the name Mark Griffiths on it,
but Nick Hood's mugshot.
All right. Yeah, good work, Lana.
Glad I could help. (cellphone chimes)
Lana, we gotta make a move.
Uh, yeah, two minutes.
We'll turn 'em in soon. - All right.
[Val] Hello, it's Val.
Please leave a message after the tone.
I'll get back to you. Bye.
It was a victim operated device
using a light dependent resistor.
A bit like what we saw with the collar bomb.
Right, well, neighbours we spoke to
suggest it was only Nick coming and going
occasionally during the day.
So the driving licence you found
in the name Mark Griffiths
was used to rent a van from a van hire company
in Streatham the day after Nick returned from Poland.
We then tracked the van from Streatham to Scotland
where he drives onto the ferry
from Stranraer to Belfast.
We then tracked its route down to Enniskillen
close to the Irish border,
but we then lose sight of the van
for approximately two hours before it reappears on camera,
heading back up north to Belfast.
- Was he alone? - On the way there, yes.
On the way back, there was someone else behind the wheel,
and the speed cameras picked them up
on the M1 just outside of Belfast.
That looks like suspect B to me.
- Agreed. Any GPS data? - No use.
These guys are too consistent.
They're swapping out sim cards, burner phones, et cetera.
What about the two hour window?
I'm liaising with the Guarder.
Good work.
[Val] Hello, it's Val.
Please leave a message after the tone.
I'll get back to you. Bye.
Hi, Mum. It's me. Um, listen, I'm sorry. I-
Lana, possible sighting of suspect B
in a hardware store in East London.
[Officer On Radio] Central 35 to all units.
Suspect have been tracked to Fullbrook Industrial Estate.
Standby to deploy.
He's taken us straight to 'em.
[Officer On Radio] Be advised, the suspect is likely armed
and considered extremely dangerous.
(tense music)
Let's move in. Go, go, go.
Hello.
(tense music)
I've got the stuff. I'm at the warehouse. Where are you?
[Gang Member 2] I'm sorry. (suspenseful music)
Shit! (suspenseful music)
(explosion rings)
We lose sight of Hood in his van near the border,
but two hours later he's captured making the return journey.
We think that he might've collected explosives
trafficked from Poland.
We've got no intel beyond him arriving at the border.
Any ideas?
If you're crossing the border at Black Lion on the A4,
there's a small port at Sligo,
which is a 40 minute drive or an hour 20 there and back.
Fits your timeframe.
There's no time to come by sea. What about air?
There's Knock International Airport,
but it's an hour 30 drive once you cross the border.
Um, Hood picked up a passenger at some point, suspect B.
I got the images you sent.
We'll get onto the airport for you. See what we can find.
(sirens blaring)
Yeah, almost certainly suspect B.
He's been matched to the photos. No other suspects.
Right. They obviously knew we were wrong to him.
Yeah, he was leading us back here.
Well, it looks like they cleaned out.
They didn't leave much behind.
And because he'd become a liability, they just took him out.
Toys stuffed with explosives. What were they planning?
[Gang Member 2] Okay, this'll work for now.
[Gang Member 1] All right, let's get on with it.
[Alex] What happened to the other guy?
He'd understand that the cause is more important
than any of us.
And we have to lose anyone
who represents a threat to our mission.
(cellphone ringing) - Who is it?
Hello. Yeah. We were forced to sabotage our operation.
We had no choice.
Of course. Close it down. Whatev-Whatever you say.
Yes. Uh, has the money been paid into the account?
Right. Okay. Okay.
What were we needing from the electronic store?
Wifi booster. Yeah, we still need it.
He could go.
They're picking me up in 10 minutes. I haven't got long.
One of the Wave gang members is dead.
They're monitoring police alerts, so they knew.
She knew.
Listen, there's someone else.
Someone higher up. The money.
The woman in charge got a call.
Man's voice telling her to stop.
- And will she? - No way.
I found this.
Trace the money.
(tense music)
What are you playing at?
Sir, I had to go and meet him.
You disobeyed a clear order again.
Like I told you before, sir, Alex doesn't trust you.
Any of you. But look, that's not important.
Suspect A is not the leader. There's somebody higher up.
That's who you need to be investigating.
I expressly told you not to meet him by yourself.
That you were to find a way to contact us.
I made a split second decision.
He wanted to meet me alone. You need to trace the money.
Not Alex. There's somebody higher up.
Is anyone listening to me?
[John] Who the hell do you think you are?
Somebody that cares about saving lives,
not their own career. - Excuse me.
There is someone higher up.
[John] You are completely out of line.
It's all political with you anyway, isn't it?
- [John] Stop. - It's all playing games.
It's all protecting your own neck, isn't it?
You don't give a shit about Alex.
You don't give a shit about the victims.
You don't even give a shit about your team.
Do you know what? I'm done.
I'm fucking done working for a brown nosing twat like you.
There you go. You got your job back. Knock yourself out.
(tense music)
Lana, wait. Lana, where are you going? Listen-
Helen, just give it a rest. All right. We're not mates.
Look, I know that. I am just trying to help you-
Stop pretending like you give a shit.
Stop acting like I'm a nice person. I'm not.
You know, me and Thom, we were gonna make a go of things.
He just never got round to telling you. Sorry.
- Oh, you okay, Helen? - Yeah. Yeah.
We, uh, we still don't know suspect B's real name yet.
So, um, what about you?
Yeah, the Guarder in Dublin Counter Terror called back.
He spoke to a local officer.
There's a private airstrip at Birdhill,
close to the border.
High net worth individuals often fly in.
He's just sent me a list of all incoming flights
over that time period. - Good. Sounds promising.
Also, we just spoke to GCHQ.
They say that the biometric template
for both images are an exact match
on facial, anatomical, and gait.
That means that the firefighter caught on CCTV at Tritia
is the same woman
who was at the arms dealer meeting in Cracow.
They're both suspect A.
And she'll be added to a primary watch list
by the authorising officer.
So next time she pops up on our system...
If a probe image is submitted
to the watch list and matched,
an alert will be issued immediately.
I'm sharing a list of passenger manifests
and private planes landing at Birdhill with you.
Okay.
Shit.
Bloody hell.
Webster King has flown into Birdhill airstrip
a total of nine times in the last year
on a Bombardier Challenger jet.
Flight registration number, Golf Bravo India Foxtrot Yankee.
Turns out he owns a small castle locally.
Birdhill Airport is just 40 minutes
from where we lose the van driven by Nick Hood.
But his name doesn't appear
on the 8th of February manifest.
King didn't fly in that day,
but the same Challenger jet did.
They spent about 20 minutes on the runway unloading goods
before departing for London City Airport.
Yeah, and what's the betting
that suspect B also disembarked at Birdhill?
Well, what's King's connection to the Challenger?
Does he own it?
Well, it's a British plane owned by a shell company
and it's registered in Ireland.
Check the flight history for...
- [Batra] Uh, Golf Bravo- - Yes, yes, yes, I know.
See if the dates match with Nick Hood's flight to Cracow.
You what? But you love your job.
You got what you wanted. You hated me doing it.
Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, we've never tried to stop you.
Not since the day you left.
No, I left home at 16. You never stopped me.
I went to a war zone, to Afghanistan.
I mean, it says it all, doesn't it?
But like you keep reminding me, Mum,
I didn't need you like Billy did.
I didn't need that. - What are you talking about?
It wasn't like we all came back.
There was, there was 12 of us. We were a solid bunch.
Six came back. Yeah.
And then I did this job and I was good at it.
But did I make a difference? Not really. Billy died.
I mean, you must hate my guts. I couldn't save your own son.
Knot died, the closest thing I had to family. John died.
And I didn't even like John.
I couldn't stand the guy,
but I didn't wanna see him blown up in front of my eyes, no.
And then Thom.
Thom died. Yeah.
Do you know what I do day to day?
No. Look, you never talk about it.
You've never asked. I'll tell you what I do.
In fact, I'll tell you what I did today.
Today I tried to diffuse a bomb
that if it had have gone off,
i-it'd have gone through every bone and muscle in my body.
You'd have been picking me up off the floor bit by bit.
The other day, there was a woman chained to a radiator
with a collar bomb.
A collar bomb right around her neck.
I have never seen somebody so petrified in all my life.
And do you know what happened? I couldn't save her.
Her head just blew off right in front of my eyes.
Imagine that. You haven't got a fucking clue.
Lana. Lana.
You know Billy wasn't your fault.
Thanks, Dad.
Wasn't your fault.
Thanks for telling me that now.
That's really helpful. Yeah.
Six months later, Billy wasn't my fault.
Well, it's just typical because you're a selfish git.
Why don't you run off, Dad, like you always do?
He runs away, don't he, Mum?
Like you said, he runs away and he hides. Yeah.
Listen, you're no better.
Get your shit together, 'cause you're no use to anybody.
That's a wicked thing to say.
Okay, let's just take a minute, all right?
Calm down and we can talk properly.
It's the truth, Dad.
You been on me pecking my head for how long.
"Ring your mum, sort your mum out."
You can't deal with it.
Well, let me deal with it, Mum. You're a pisshead.
And I'm sorry that I wasn't the daughter
that you wanted me to be and Billy was your favourite.
That's ridiculous. I wanted both of you to be happy.
Do I look happy? I can't save the people that I love.
I'm done. I have zero fucks to give.
It wasn't clear initially,
but when looked at differently,
the attacks on King are actually to his advantage.
One of Webster's shell companies
is among a number of businesses
bidding for redevelopment of the site
much like (indistinct) Power Station.
Yeah, he's trying to lower the asking price.
We already know about Tritia Global.
I-I actually had an interesting conversation
with the FCA earlier.
Turns out Tritia was under investigation
regarding improper data sharing.
Right up until the bomb destroyed all the vital records.
Exactly.
Hancock Seal and Pool Non-Profit
is a holding company of Webster's foundation
of which recently deceased minister Matthew Polfrey
was a former business partner.
Reports point to a recent falling out between the two men.
Also, local counsellors say that far from being sentimental
about his country estate,
King has recently put in plans
to build 2000 new homes on the site within three years.
One more thing. Lana's receipt.
The fertiliser was purchased by a pig farm
with little need for fertiliser.
I'm sure it's a front.
We're chasing confirmation,
but I wouldn't be surprised
if Webster King is the lease holder.
King is the poster boy for this new breed of billionaire.
Running things in their favour,
convincing governments to look after their interests.
Look, less than 24 hours ago, King himself was targeted.
If Lana hadn't driven that Land Rover away,
he woulda been killed along with the rest of the guests.
Sorry, your theory just doesn't add up.
(tense music)
(upbeat music)
🎵 Life moves up and down 🎵
🎵 You gotta figure it out 🎵
🎵 Got no time for these fake guys 🎵
(fist banging)
🎵 Grinding for them pounds 🎵
🎵 Hope it don't come crumbling down 🎵
(cellphone ringing)
- Danny. - Lana, you all right?
Yeah. Good thanks. What's up?
Look, what's going on?
You need to talk to me,
because you just walked out without saying anything.
Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.
What you said to Helen, that was completely out of order.
Yeah, I know.
No, you're not the only one that cared about Thom.
All right?
I know, Danny.
It's just, Francis was not listening to me.
And, um, I know I shouldn't let it get to me,
but he's impossible for me to deal with.
You just need to look in the mirror for a second.
You haven't been so easy to deal with yourself.
Yeah, I know, Danny.
It's just, it's all starting to, uh, get on top of me.
With, um, Thom and Billy and Knot...
But you've really been stepping on some toes, mate.
I know, you're right. You're always right.
Okay, so what are you planning to do?
Are you gonna come back or...
Um, I don't think so.
I probably burnt too many bridges there.
How is it at HQ? - Alex was right.
Like you said, there was someone behind it all.
- Yeah. - Webster King.
They're saying he's the money.
Right.
But if that bomb had gone off at his wedding,
then he'd have been toasted.
He wasn't in the room. Do you remember?
[Danny] So here's the big man giving his speech, yeah?
Everybody telling jokes and toasting to the happy couple.
Now, everyone, you just enjoy yourself
while our two families must now endure the purgatory
of wedding photos.
The family being ushered out. There.
See, Lana says this is a false flag attack.
Webster isn't the target. He's the money.
Webster's wedding guests.
Most of them could be described as enemies.
I mean, he made a joke about it himself.
But he was using the terror campaign as a cover
for assassinating his business rivals.
It's a move straight out of the Russian oligarchs playbook.
Yeah. They call it piranha capitalism.
It's predatory appetite
and score settling amongst super rich.
Sir, the plane that landed at Birdhill on the 8th of Feb,
uh, Golf Bravo India Foxtrot Yankee,
it's just been confirmed it flew in from Cracow.
Okay, surveillance are reporting
that Webster King's just been seen leaving his house
with several items of luggage.
He's moved his honeymoon up.
The Challenger jet is currently on the runway
at Cobden Hill Airfield in Surrey.
Pilot submitted a flight plan about half an hour ago.
It's due for takeoff later today. Two passengers on board.
- Destination? - Kuwait.
Weird place to have your honeymoon.
Kuwait doesn't have an extradition treaty with the UK.
If he leaves now, we'll never get him back.
Sir.
Okay, this is it. We're past the threshold.
I need to speak to the commissioner first, but we're on.
Let's go.
(tense music)
[Driver] I'll take your bags on board for you, sir.
(tyres screeching)
Come to see me off, Commander?
No need for you to come in person.
Or have there been some developments?
We need to talk to you about your connection
to the recent spate of terror attacks.
If you have any questions,
I'm happy to answer them in writing.
But my wife is on route,
and the minute she arrives, that plane is taking off.
Can't allow that, sir.
I've been the subject of a terror attack.
For my safety and that of my wife,
I wish to leave London
for somewhere my security can be guaranteed.
I'm afraid this aircraft's been grounded.
[Webster] On whose authority?
Air traffic control at my request.
Then I'll have to call the home secretary.
As you know, she's a close friend.
The home secretary herself
felt this was the best way to proceed.
We'll need you to accompany us down to Counter Terror HQ,
where we'll be conducting the interview.
Now you're just being silly.
DS Morgan.
Webster King, I'm arresting you under Section Five
of the Terrorism Act 2006 for committing acts of terrorism
and assisting others to commit such acts.
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned
something which you will later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Cuffs.
No. No. No need for that.
Go on. Do it. Not so confident all of a sudden.
Just come with us.
You're making a huge mistake.
People like me don't go to prison.
(cellphone ringing)
It's my wife. She's on her way.
Go on then.
Hello, darling. (explosion booms)
(sirens blaring)
I'm fine. Thank you.
Looks like he was a target after all, sir.
You all right, sir?
He said it was his wife calling.
Yeah. I don't think it was.
No. No, of course
They must've tampered with his phone.
(cellphone ringing)
I need to brief the commissioner.
- Okay. Yes? - [Investigator] Sir.
Thanks.
Okay, thank you. Bye.
Sir. That was Batra.
The terrorist just posted another video.
[John] Hoist by his own petard.
Yeah, so Webster King thought that he was in charge,
but it looks like the bombers were just using him.
And it seems like his usefulness expired.
And now they're off the leash.
We've lost our two key leads
that coulda led us to the group,
suspect B and now King.
Well, what about Alex?
See if he'll talk to us again.
He's our primary lead now. We need him.
[Helen] Okay.
[Reporter] 24 hours after a failed attempt on his life,
billionaire banker Webster King is dead
in what the Metropolitan police are describing
as a major terrorist incident.
King reportedly died in a targeted explosion
at the hands of the gang known as the Wave
who have claimed responsibility
for a spate of bombings across the capital
in the past weeks.
As with previous attacks,
the gang has released a photograph
taunting both the victim's family and the police.
We would like to warn you
as the following images are disturbing.
(cellphone rings)
- Alex. - Lana.
You all right?
I've been given a bomb with instructions
to hand deliver the device to the London Stock Exchange.
I'm certain they know I'm a mole
and this bomb's meant for me.
Right. Send me your location.
I can get you a patrol car- - No, don't!
You to come. Alone. You promised. Otherwise I'm a dead man.
[Lana] I can't. Alex, I'm not on SO-15 anymore.
I don't care. You have to help me. You said you would.
No, I know, but I'm not authorised.
I don't even have my kit.
You're still expo, aren't you?
Lana, I'm carrying a bomb and it's your job to diffuse it.
Right, um, can you find a safe location nearby?
Are you near any parks?
I'm in the middle of the city. Where am I supposed to go?
Um, can you see any empty buildings?
And just try and stay away from as many people as you can.
What if it detonates?
I'll be framed as a cold hearted murderer.
I'm fucked, aren't I? - No, you're not. You're not.
Just need to, uh, stay on the phone to me. Stay calm.
Keep looking around. You see anything?
All right.
I think I might've found somewhere.
Sending you my location now.
(suspenseful music)
(door rattles)
(door creaks)
(Alex panting)
(orange juice trickling)
What's that look for? It's just orange juice.
- Never said a thing. - [Val] Didn't have to.
I know what you're thinking.
Well, you're wrong. I was thinking of going for a walk.
Please don't pretend you're gonna ask me to come with you.
Sorry, how come you're so sure I wasn't gonna ask you
to come with me?
'Cause you don't actually want me to come with you.
Yes, I do want you to come with me, Val.
Well, you should've come out and told me
in the first place then, shouldn't you?
Oh, shot this. And you're right actually.
I don't want you to come with me.
[Val] Always forgetting his bloody key.
(Val gasps) Hello.
[Alex] They killed him. Webster King.
I know.
All this time they were only ever using him.
The woman in charge
is so much more dangerous than he ever was.
So they gonna stop now he's dead?
Not a chance.
She won't stop until she brings
the entire criminal justice system crashing down.
Is that it? Yeah. You need to get out of here.
I've got this. Go on.
How'd you do it?
Day after day.
Just get used to it. If it's my time, it's my time.
Go to safety. You're gonna be fine. All right? Go on.
