Sergeant David Budd, Metropolitan Police.
British Transport Police have put out an alert on a possible suicide bomber.
[breathes heavily]
Don't do that, please! Just stay still. Stay still.
- [Nadia] You have children? - Yes, I do. Two.
That's Ella. She's ten. Charlie, he's eight.
[Andrew Marr] The government is intent on forcing through a beefed-up
Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, RIPA-18,
as it's been dubbed, spearheaded by you.
Only those intent on acts of violence have anything to fear.
I want you right beside me,
not because it's your job... but because it's our choice.
This is a very, very dangerous politician, someone who must be stopped.
Despite the heroic efforts of our emergency services...
the Home Secretary, Julia Montague, succumbed to her injuries
and was pronounced dead a short while ago.
[gunshot]
Someone tampered with my gun.
- The police searched your flat. - If they found an illegal firearm,
they'd seize it. They wouldn't change the bullets for blanks.
The PM's asked me to step up to Acting Home Secretary.
Now, it goes without saying, I'd never wish in a million years
to assume this role under these circumstances.
There's a simple, plausible story for you to stick to,
and you will stick to it.
Finally, we've got your shooter, Sergeant Andrew Apsted.
Served in Helmand Province, two tours. This could be the original bomb-maker.
The war in the desert, we've brought it back to the streets of Britain.
Andrew Apsted, we need more on him,
who he joined the Army with, who he served with.
And where did he get that rifle?
A PSL with no history traceable back to me.
Maybe I can make a couple of calls.
- I thought they were sending you a cab - Yeah, I don't need their shitty cab.
Chanel Dyson was the late Home Secretary's PR, until she was fired.
Thank you for being a sweetheart that day.
- You're very welcome. - 'Cause I was going to suggest a drink.
The male subject has been identified as Luke Aikens.
Aikens is believed to be a senior figure in organized criminal enterprises.
Nadia, we're desperate to find the person who's been creating these devices.
Is this the man your husband met?
- Only problem is they know about you. - That'll be David Budd.
He's the one who challenged me.
A few days before she was killed, the Home Secretary received a visit from Longcross.
He supplied her with a file of kompromat
she shared with the Prime Minister.
She offered them greater powers in return for the compromising material.
A series of scandals, all covered up,
a sexual assault, drug addiction,
financial impropriety.
Last night, I learned they relate to the Prime Minister.
The kompromat wasn't with the Home Secretary at the time of the explosion.
It's still out there.
They seem pretty sure if anyone knows where it's hidden, you do.
Julia Montague's home was thoroughly searched, all of her devices seized.
There was no tablet found.
[news report #1] Six long weeks have passed since the incident
that triggered the current terror alert.
[news report #2] The Metropolitan Police remain on the highest level of vigilance,
responding to terror alerts on a daily basis, most of them false alarms.
[news report #3] Police and Security Service MI5 stand
at an almost unprecedented level of alertness to a home-grown terror threat.
Yet still, there have been no further arrests, no breakthrough,
and the assassination of Home Secretary Julia Montague...
[turns radio off]
[phone bleeps]
[Chanel] Hey, David, it's Chanel. Um, it was really lovely to run into you.
I meant it about that drink. Maybe...
[ringing tone]
[Chanel] David. I was getting worried you were never going to call me back.
Anything to play hard to get.
[Chanel laughs] Uh, well, let's meet up. I know just the place.
[drill whirs]
Ma'am.
As you were.
- Ma'am. - Deepak.
- Sorry, nobody told me... - I wanted an update.
Yes, ma'am. We've now interviewed all the security staff on duty
the night before the bombing at St. Matthew's College.
They all claim not to have witnessed any kind of break-in or intruder.
- Claim? - The bomb didn't plant itself, ma'am.
Maybe we're looking at bribery and/or intimidation.
They also needed access to CCTV to delete part of the recording.
- This sounds like a new line of inquiry. - Yes, ma'am.
Luke Aikens. We're exploring whether he played a role
in the assassination of the Home Secretary.
Possible motivation: to prevent increased scrutiny into criminal communications.
- RIPA-18? - Yes, ma'am.
Aikens is a significant player in organized crime.
As you know, ma'am, he's always successfully avoided criminal charges.
As I know?
Uh, yes. I saw in the file. You led the Organized Crime Unit.
Across the investigations into Aikens' activities.
That was some time ago. Why wasn't I informed about this new line of inquiry?
- I'm sorry, ma'am... - Who initiated it?
I'm acting on information from David Budd.
Every step forward, we take one back.
Something happen, boss?
There's always been whispers Luke Aikens had senior officers in his pocket...
officers prepared to sabotage investigations into his criminal empire.
Our officers?
There's so much of the Home Secretary's assassination we can't put together.
A lot of it can be explained if, all along, there's been an inside man...
or woman.
[dance music]
You made it.
Never one to turn down a free drink.
We have a table downstairs, if that's okay.
- It's your manor, your rules. - What would you like to drink?
- Uh, a beer's fine, please. - Oh.
Cheap date. The same again, please, but we'll have them downstairs.
[barmaid] Sure, Chanel.
- Welcome to my manor. - Actually, it was good running into you.
Because here we are.
That, too.
Uh, when you finished at the Home Office, I heard a few things.
- About me? - Yeah, about you.
They were always beefing me. What was it this time?
Your money comes from companies registered offshore.
So?
I think there was a concern these companies weren't fully legit.
Listen, David, you're not a business person, and I'm certainly not.
I have clever people to do all that for me,
so we could sit here and talk about corporate law all night
- and neither of us would be any the wiser. - Fair point.
[both giggle]
Paid for with Nazi gold.
[he chuckles]
Thank you.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- What? - Just trying to figure you out.
Well, depending on who you talk to, I'm either deceptively deep...
or deceptively shallow.
Either way, you're deceptive.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry.
Well?
Uh, belt on the right-hand side.
[Luke] We don't normally allow coppers.
We definitely don't allow them.
Makarov, is that right?
Looks like someone's been talking.
You go around asking for a PSL, it's going to come to my attention.
You supply Andy Apsted?
Tell me one thing.
He come to you, or did you go to him?
Well, here's a question for you.
Is that thing loaded?
What do you think?
It's what it's loaded with that matters.
You swapped in the blanks?
[David grunts]
[grunts]
Apologies, everyone. The lad's just had too much to drink.
Try not to let it spoil your evening.
Sarge, you're gonna want to log in to Thornton Circus.
- We've got something on Andrew Apsted. - Yeah?
[sighs, strikes desk]
Boss. We've completed cross-checks
on everyone Andrew Apsted served alongside with in the army.
Apsted was posted to Helmand Province with 16 Engineer Regiment in 2009.
Now, there were a number of operations carried out
alongside the Royal Albion Regiment.
And serving in the Royal Albion at that time was, um...
[sighs]
...was David Budd.
- Shit. - [slaps papers on desk]
Yeah. Yeah, it gets worse.
Budd went back to Julia Montague's house and broke in via the back entrance.
That's unguarded. I mean, he appears to have keys.
He must've got them cut when he was her PPO, which is suspicious enough in itself.
He was on the premises for minutes, which means he knew exactly what he was after.
Yeah. The kompromat.
You were right, boss.
There's been an inside man all along.
- The fucker has played me since day one. - He's played us all!
We're going to be the ones to bring him in.
Let's find the bastard.
[Control] Observations for a male wanted in connection with the murder
of Julia Montague.
Police Sergeant David Budd, IC1 male, early 30s, dark hair.
Subject may be armed and is extremely dangerous.
Repeat, David Budd is to be treated as extremely dangerous.
[breathes heavily]
[gasps]
[nearby siren wails]
[pants softly]
[grunts softly]
[pants softly]
- [pants softly] - [door bangs]
Mrs. Budd, do you know the name, Andrew Apsted?
No.
Apsted and David served in Afghanistan together.
Apsted had a history of post-traumatic stress and took his own life.
One of our current lines of inquiry is Apsted and your husband were accomplices
in the Thornton Circus attempt on the Home Secretary's life.
- No... No. Dave would never... - David has lied.
And lied to all of us... you included.
And our priority now is to bring him safely into custody.
Has he said anything to you that might shed some light on his plans?
Um... Well, he did say one thing the last time I saw him,
which really worried me.
He said, um, he needed to act now before it was too late.
I... Is he in danger?
I believe what David meant by "before it's too late" is before his link
to Andrew Apsted was detected.
Hence all the lies and the betrayals.
Now, I'd like you to accompany me to Walworth Police Station
to help with our inquiries, okay?
Vicky, Ella and Charlie are safe and well, no sightings of David.
We've dispatched an officer to the school for safeguarding purposes.
No. Dave would never hurt the kids. Never.
Who would he hurt?
Madam, don't be alarmed. Please, can I use your telephone?
Please, I just need some help, ma'am, please.
Madam, stop, police officer.
I understand the state I look. My name's Police Sergeant David Budd.
- Do you have a mobile telephone, please? - Uh...
All I need you to do is call 999 and hold the phone on speaker,
so I can contact the police operator. The call's free of charge.
Madam, it's an emergency. Please.
Thank you.
[ringing tone]
[operator] Emergency, which service do you require?
- Police. - Putting you through now.
[woman] Police. What is your emergency?
PS David Budd, using a member of the public's phone.
I am status zero on... Saltmarsh Street.
- Can you confirm your name, please? - Police Sergeant David Budd.
Units are on their way, PS Budd.
Please return the phone to the member of the public.
What's going on?
Shit.
[woman] Obs on David Budd. Saltmarsh Street.
Received. Saltmarsh Street, blue-light it.
[siren wails]
[tires squeal]
- What's going on? - I need your full cooperation, Vicky.
This could turn into a negotiation situation.
[siren wails]
[sirens wail]
Control, Trojan, stand by for sit rep.
Did you see where he went?
- [sirens wail] - Extend the search outwards.
Come with me. Trojan, sit rep.
- [police radio] - Unarmed. Clear to enter.
[sirens wail]
- Sarge. - PS Mason, ma'am.
Lorraine Craddock, Budd's boss. I hope I can talk him into cooperating.
- Ma'am. - [approaching siren]
Ma'am, DS Rayburn, SO15. I've got Budd's wife with me.
[gasps]
I'm cooperating. Don't shoot!
Armed police! Hands in the air!
- Don't shoot! - Hands in the air!
- I can't. - [Craddock] David, please do as we say!
- No one needs to get hurt! - I need to explain.
- [officer] Raise your hands! - [Craddock] David, please raise your hand!
[officer] Final warning!
Raise... your... hands...
- Shit! - Pull back!
Clear the area!
David, don't move!
- Stay perfectly still! - It's a dead man's switch.
Anything happens to me, it'll go off.
- [Trojan] Control, active message. - Go ahead, Trojan.
I didn't do this! You need to believe me!
Subject armed with PBIED. Require safe route.
- We need Expo here and a negotiator. - Ma'am.
Charlie Yankee Five Seven, request Expo and Negotiator to Saltmarsh Street.
I didn't do this. I was put in this vest!
- Get him away from all these buildings. - Agreed.
[sirens wail]
We need to move you to a less built-up area!
- It's a DMS. Don't shoot! - You need you to comply.
I am complying! Do not shoot!
Turn around slowly with your hands in the air.
[Control] Trojan, route via Saltmarsh Mews.
- [officer] Wait! - [breathes heavily]
Taking the street to your right, walk there slowly now.
[breathes heavily]
Control from Trojan, active message. Request directions to safe area.
- Just keep moving. No sudden moves. - [Control] Destination is Pope Square.
Approximately 500 meters southwest...
Armed Police, get back!
[Control] Left turn into Pope Lane.
Followed by right turn into Pope Square. Traffic control and air ops
covering the route.
[officer] Received. Keep walking.
Sir, we're just tapping into the CCTV camera now.
- [sirens wail] - Get out of the park!
Keep it moving!
[officer] Keep moving, as far away from the buildings as possible.
[sirens wail]
[officer] Keep moving! Clear the area.
Keep moving! Everyone keep moving.
Control, Trojan, subject now confined to Pope Square.
Require critical-shot authorization.
[control] Received, stand by.
He says it's trigger-activated. Are we safe to get a radio to him?
- Ma'am? - If we're going to get him to surrender,
we'll need to be able to talk.
David, I'm going to lay the radio down for you, okay?
Do not move yet!
Okay!
[sirens and helicopter]
Bring the wife, just in case, okay?
Got the radio? Cheers.
Stay still until I tell you!
Okay.
Pick up the radio!
Back to back on two.
David, please listen to me very carefully.
I really hope this can be resolved with no one getting hurt.
For your own sake, for your family and colleagues,
please give yourself up.
Ma'am, I've tried to remove the vest. It's booby-trapped with coax connectors
across the clasps. They're wired to the control unit.
I give you my solemn promise...
Your previous good service and the effect of your recent traumatic experiences
will be taken into account.
Ma'am, you're not listening to me. I was knocked unconscious.
When I came round, I was in this vest with my thumb taped to the DMS.
David, you've got to be straight with us. You hid your relationship with Apsted.
You hid your involvement in Julia Montague's assassination.
I had nothing to do with Julia's assassination! Nothing!
I tried to save her!
David, you've betrayed everyone's trust.
We won't be fooled again.
I'm telling the truth!
I'm sorry, David. I did my best for you.
What? Your best? What are you doing?
- This is an SO15 operation. - Ma'am, what are you doing?
[Rayburn] David, let's try and stay calm.
- [breathes heavily] - David, are you receiving me?
Vic, get away from here!
- Dave, they want me here. - Get away!
Just get Expo here, Louise. Please, get me out of this thing.
Stay still and keep your hands where we can see them.
My hand is on the DMS. What's the matter with you? Are you blind?
No, David.
I'm being set up! The people that did this to me, they're the ones who killed Julia!
Okay, David.
Louise, I know I betrayed your trust. I lied about Andy Apsted.
If I'd come clean, I'd have been the fall guy.
The people that really killed Julia would've gotten away with it.
I didn't want to lie. I had to!
- David, please just do what they say! - She's fine.
David, you need help, please!
Vic, I'm telling the truth!
- [Control] Trojan, Control. - Go ahead, Control.
Message from SFC. Critical shot authorized.
Received.
Line of fire, behind me.
I know I lied, I hid things, but you have to understand,
I had nothing to do with Andy trying to kill Julia.
Nothing to do with the bomb that killed her. I wanted to know who did it.
I don't know who did it. It was Security Service,
organized crime, terrorism, that's what I was trying to find out.
- [radio chatter] - [officer] Pictures up.
[Control] Also an SO15 DS awaiting Silver to be, status six.
[Sharma] Control, Silver seconds away.
- [Hunter-Dunn] Get me live with the field. - Sir.
- [David] I know you think I'm lying. - Any RT revealing what he's told them?
- No, sir. - Get this blown up.
- Sir. - [David] ...the conspiracy to kill Julia.
[David, distantly] There were security pictures of St. Matthew's College.
They knew about the Home Secretary's itinerary.
- [officer] By me, sir. - Silver, status six.
Control, received.
- Boss. - Any idea what explosive's in the device?
Not yet, no, boss. I wouldn't hold much store in Budd's answers either.
It's been a stream of bullshit since day one!
All right, Louise, I hear you, but let's lower the temperature.
- What channel? - Two.
David, Deepak Sharma, receiving?
Receiving.
What can you tell us about the PBIED?
It resembles the device worn by Nadia Ali during the 1st of October attack.
How can you be so sure?
I saw hers up close before it was con-exed.
The HE, the detonators, the control unit.
Mine appear exactly the same.
You understand our doubts here, mate?
Our inquiries led us to the probability of an inside man in the force,
who conspired in the security breaches to assassinate the Home Secretary.
I'm not the inside man!
But here you are, wearing the exact same PBIED employed by an active terror cell.
This is how it happened, sir. I was contacted by Chanel Dyson.
She set a trap. I was ambushed by Luke Aikens and put into this vest,
to frame me, to point the finger away from organized crime.
You keep asking us to believe you
and now you tell us you're arranging a secret meeting with one of the suspects.
I was trying to trace Andy Apsted's PSL rifle! It was supplied by Luke Aikens.
- It was his men that broke into my flat. - Why do you think that, David?
I used a pistol I brought back from Afghanistan as bait.
Luke knew all about it. Knew it'd been tampered with.
Look. Ask Vic! She knows.
She knows. She'll prove I'm telling the truth.
Vicky, will you tell them?
[sighs] He's telling the truth.
The pistol, someone tampered with the bullets, replaced them with blanks.
How do you know?
[sighs] After the Home Secretary died, David tried to shoot himself.
Why would Dave try and shoot himself with a blank, unless he didn't realize
- the gun had been tampered? - [siren blares]
Thank you.
Clearly we need to look into this, but we're being told
you're suicidal and now here you are in a suicide vest.
No, no, no! That's not it. That's not the point here!
Where's this pistol now, mate? You got it with you?
No. Luke's men seized it before they fitted the vest. Forget the pistol.
The blank rounds are proof. They are hidden in my flat.
Maybe you can pull DNA, prints from them to link it back to Luke's men.
All this evidence you've kept hidden.
We know you broke into Julia Montague's flat.
- Led me up the garden path on that, too. - I am sorry about that, Louise.
I had to. I couldn't risk what I found being common knowledge.
Why, David? Why couldn't you trust your colleagues?
Because of the conspiracy! Because of the Security Service!
I found where Julia hid the kompromat.
- Phone. - [David] The tablet.
[Sharma] Where is it, David?
My flat, downstairs, in the bathroom above a spotlight.
Budd's flat. Downstairs bathroom. Above a spotlight.
Seconds away.
Budd's flat. Turn right.
[horn blasts]
Do you give consent to search?
Yes, sir.
[Sharma] I need a search team to David Budd's address immediately.
[David] Look at me.
[mouths]
They're changing radio channels!
Security Service may be monitoring this. Do not share via regular channels.
Advise search team not to tamper with the spotlight. Hold back from entering.
[shot, clattering]
- [Sharma] Received. - What's the message? What's Budd say?
Sorry, sir, they're too quick for us.
[screams and groans]
[siren blares]
[gasps and groans]
[groaning]
[policeman] Armed police! Get down on the ground!
- Hands where I can see them. - On the ground!
- Search him! - Don't move!
[shrieking]
One in custody.
- Matching e-fit of Richard Longcross. - Oh...
[sighs]
Fuck.
Hold Expo!
They need to get this thing off me!
I would if I could, mate, but you know the drill.
There's a risk you'll trigger the device and take us with you.
I don't want anyone here getting hurt!
My hand's aching on this DMS!
I want to talk to my wife.
It might be the last chance I get. Please.
Go set-to-set on three.
Press here when you want to talk.
I've let you down, Vic, I know that, but on our children's lives,
I'm not a traitor, I had nothing to do with Julia's murder.
I'm sorry for what I've put you through.
I'm sorry I've stopped being the man you married.
I've tried to explain,
but... part of me never wants to explain what the war did to me.
Look, I never wanted it to touch you, or us... but it has.
I tried to stop it, but I couldn't.
[sobs softly]
I've failed as a husband, and as a father, and that's the worst thing.
I'm sorry. [he sobs softly]
[sighs in exasperation]
Help him! Why won't you help him?
[buzz of helicopter]
Please!
Let me examine the device, sir.
- Okay. - Thank you, thank you!
Ballistic shields.
[exhales]
[helicopter buzzes and sirens wail]
[officer] With me.
Any sudden moves, any shout from me...
take him out.
Hold.
My name's Daniel Chung.
I'm going to begin by examining this device.
Thank you.
I'm David.
David, remain perfectly still with your hands facing me.
Apart from the dead man's switch, are there any other initiation devices?
To the best of my knowledge, no. [breathes heavily]
David, keep pressure on the DMS.
I need you to turn very slowly, through 360 degrees,
so I can inspect the whole device.
[anxious breathing]
Thank you.
I don't see any hidden initiation devices.
Now I'm gonna carry out a closer examination.
[David sniffles]
Please remain completely still maintaining pressure on the DMS.
I will.
[Daniel] The coax wires across the clasps are wired into the control unit.
I'm going to examine the control unit now.
Please remain perfectly still for me, David, maintaining pressure on the DMS.
[anxious breathing]
David, I've completed my examination. Now I need to confer with my colleagues.
Stay here, remaining perfectly still and keep maintaining pressure on the DMS.
No. Come back.
Come back.
[siren wails]
[both] Ma'am.
Great work on getting Longcross into custody. Well done.
Budd's device appears to be the work of the original bomb-maker.
[sobs]
It's impossible to tell if he put it on himself or someone did it to him.
I read the report on the 1/10 device. This is equally sophisticated.
Can it be defused?
I can try, but there's an extremely high risk of detonation.
What's happening?
[sighs] This is Anne Sampson, David. Tell us, are there other bombers at large?
Not that I know of.
Are further attacks planned?
I don't know.
- Who built the device you're wearing? - Ma'am, this wasn't my doing.
I don't know who built it.
We've got no idea of the power of the device or how long he can hold the DMS.
Added to which, Budd's got a history of deception
and is highly likely to be the inside man who's enabled this conspiracy.
[anxious breathing]
Get everyone to pull back outside the cordons and we'll re-spin the wheel.
- Deepak. - Ma'am.
Everyone, pull back!
Pull back.
David.
Please!
Mrs. Budd.
I'm innocent! Please!
You're killing me!
Pull back to a safe distance, please.
[softly] I love you.
See what she's up to? All the easier to pin everything on David when he's dead.
She's the one with links to Luke Aikens.
Quick as you can.
[frustrated sob]
If I stay put, she'll order the shot. If I run, the same.
- [pants] - No! Stop!
- Stop her! - [grunts]
Vicky, No!
- Hold fire! - It's too dangerous.
- It's Charlie and Ella losing both of us. - I believe you, that you're innocent.
This gives you a chance to prove it.
Trojan to TFC, subject's wife now in close proximity to device.
[TFC] Trojan, TFC, SFC rescinds critical shot.
Off aim!
[sighs]
Budd to Sampson.
Sampson.
I'll lead you to the evidence that proves I'm telling the truth.
Stay where you are.
What now?
Stay close.
[sirens wail]
We walk.
[Sampson] David!
David!
Mobile containment.
- A hundred meters rolling cordon. - Red team with me.
Get traffic control in place to create a safety corridor.
Ma'am.
Help us out here, mate. Where you going?
My flat. Long walk ahead.
[news report] The incident began earlier this morning, with reports of a man
wearing a suicide vest causing a disturbance in Saltmarsh Street.
Specialist firearms officers of the Metropolitan Police's
counter-terrorism unit, SCO19, attended the incident within a few minutes
and the area was closed to the public. The incident...
You had the whole situation locked down.
We've got an innocent civilian in harm's way
and Budd claims to be leading us to crucial evidence.
He's making for his home address.
Armed units are in situ and residents are being evacuated.
Air Ops are also conducting neighborhood surveillance for possible associates.
- So far, none detected. - Then who's he working with?
We've established a link to Andrew Apsted,
- the Thornton Circus sniper. - I see.
...cross live to our security correspondent...
Ah!
[news report #2] The pictures you're watching here are being...
You never said you were including the Security Service.
Anne, Anne, we're all in this together.
[TV report continues in background]
Stephen...
You may be interested to hear my officers have taken into custody
a male suspect matching the e-fit of Richard Longcross.
We're currently exploring a number of lines of inquiry
in association with the suspect.
Such as places of work and seizure of communications devices.
I can neither confirm nor deny the suspect's identity...
but what I can confirm is that the requisite authorities apply,
which render his actions lawful. He should be released immediately.
There are certain actions for which there are no lawful authorities,
one being the assassination of a democratically elected secretary of state.
Anne, please!
Cool heads and cooperation.
This cooperation...
is it due to Budd's compromising material giving you both so much to lose
that you never want its existence revealed?
Because it would show the hand of the Security Service in a failed coup?
And despite your convincing assurances that the Home Office's role
in Julia Montague's death was purely accidental,
I wonder if the public will be equally convinced.
Anne, I think it's best if Stephen and I continue without you.
A woman was murdered.
A crime was committed.
My officers will investigate.
Thanks.
I've sought a court order for my officer's release.
Good.
Budd claims to hold crucial evidence.
He was working with the Thornton Circus sniper.
Andrew Apsted was a disturbed, embittered war veteran.
Not only does Budd fit the same profile,
he possessed all the inside know-how to overcome Julia's security.
No wider conspiracy involved.
[TV report continues in background]
Look no further for Julia's assassin.
[reporter] ...and an evacuation is taking place.
[siren blares]
How are you doing?
My hand's in spasm.
You need to go inside. It's okay. It's completely safe.
Cupboard in the kitchen, there's some rope.
Rope? What for?
And a spade.
[sighs]
[sirens blare]
[pants]
Uh... there's something down here, like a black plastic bag.
That's it, Vic.
This is the evidence.
The original tablet containing the kompromat.
It'll prove the Security Service were involved.
The blank rounds smuggled into my pistol, they'll prove organized crime were, too.
[Sharma] Send Vicky to us with the evidence.
If I go, they can shoot you.
I don't know how much longer I can hold the DMS. This vest is crucial evidence.
The others got blown up. If forensics got a chance to examine this...
it might lead us back to the bomb maker.
- Prevent further attacks. - He's bargaining, boss. He's playing you.
Or he's giving us the chance to crack this case.
- I'll send Vicky to you with the evidence. - No, Dave, don't fall for it.
If you give me a chance to defuse this.
How do you know I'll keep my side?
I've been a soldier. I've been a copper.
You get to spot a bloke whose word's his bond.
You happy to let him try?
I wouldn't say happy. [sighs]
Robot.
Vicky.
How are things with your boyfriend?
Uh...
All right.
You deserve to be happy.
[anxious breathing]
I've laid out what you'll need.
The robot's coming up to you, so I can talk you through it.
Thank you.
Go.
[tearful breathing]
Question for DCI Sharma.
[Sharma] Go ahead.
Is Longcross talking yet?
I don't know.
It'd help, sir, if I knew this hadn't all been in vain.
- We'll get back to you on that. - To me, Vicky. Thanks.
I'll get an update on Longcross.
[whimpers softly]
[Daniel] We've got picture.
- Can you hear me? - Receiving.
Get Vicky away.
She shouldn't have to watch.
[Sharma] Mrs. Budd.
I'm not going to manage with one hand.
[Daniel] We'll start by freeing your left hand. You'll see a set of scissors.
Divide the tape over your thumb, creating two loose ends.
[anxious breathing]
Next, you'll see a non-ferrous spacer.
It looks like one of the piece in a game of draughts.
Slip the spacer under your thumb, being sure to maintain pressure on the trigger.
Being sure to maintain pressure, roll your thumb through 90 degrees.
So you can fold one of the free ends of tape down onto the spacer.
[anxious breathing]
The next stage is to roll your thumb
in the opposite direction over the piece of tape you've just secured...
maintaining pressure.
[frustrated grunt]
So that you can fold the other free end of tape to the spacer.
[pants]
If you're sure the tape is secure... you'll be able to remove your thumb.
[exhales]
[groans in relief]
Well done, David.
I'd suggest applying another couple of loops of tape to get the spacer
100% secure.
David, normally the best approach is to neutralize the power source.
But remember, with the 1/10 device, Fort Halstead found it was rigged
with multiple booby traps.
When the power was cut, the control unit triggered the detonators.
I'm convinced this is the same kind of device.
[both exhale]
Then you're going to have to neutralize the control unit itself.
I've already removed the cover successfully...
but there may be hidden trip wires.
Thanks, mate. That's given us a good view.
Now what do you suggest?
I doubt a device like this will be neutralized by cutting a wire.
A shunt might work.
Hence the croc clips and cable?
Yeah.
I can see a pair of relay blocks, serving the detonators.
I'm going to shunt between the two.
[sighs heavily]
[anxious breathing]
Right. I'm going to disconnect the power supply.
I'm cutting the first wire.
[breathes heavily]
[David breathes heavily over coms]
[pants]
[anxious groan]
[long sigh]
Put some tape over the ends.
- Question for DCI Sharma. - [Sharma] Go ahead.
Any news on Longcross?
Sir?
[Sharma] I'm very sorry, David. He had to be released.
Is that it? They just get away with it scot-free?
I'm going to cut the second wire. Everyone should get as far back as possible.
Everyone back! Take cover!
Fall back!
Get everyone right back!
[officer] Move back!
- Get right back! - [officer] Back! All of you move!
Okay.
[breathes heavily]
[frightened breathing]
[breathing echoes]
After him! Go! Go! Go!
[Sharma] No obs on Budd in the graveyard.
- [phone rings] - Widen the search. Lock off all...
[woman] Negative, no obs.
[man] Negative. We lost him.
- Minister. - Where's Budd?
I'm afraid I don't have that information at this time.
What's he up to?
In all probability, he's fleeing from justice.
And what if he's not?
[woman] David Budd could be armed and dangerous...
- That'll kill you. - Oh, my God!
So would a suicide vest.
Oh, my God! You're okay.
Like you give a shit.
I don't even know what to say to you. I'm so sorry.
Cooperate. You'll get immunity, witness protection. You'll be out.
I can't do that.
You're going to phone Luke, tell him the inside man's going to talk.
He's gonna want to silence him, he's gonna lead me straight to him.
Isn't Luke going to find that a bit suspicious?
It's what you did to me.
It's the only way to prove I'm innocent.
I'll drive.
Stay put.
[door slams]
Are you off somewhere?
None of your business. Talking of which...
I pay for results.
Budd is still out there. It's a basic rule, Lorraine.
If you're going to frame someone, you make it a dead bloke.
- It's hardly my fault. - No. But it's made you nervous.
[indistinct chattering]
[grunts]
On your knees! Hands on your head!
Are you fucking joking?
[gunshot]
[dog barks]
- Stand down, Sarge, that's an order! - I know about you two!
[dog barks]
On your knees!
Hands.
[window opens]
[breathes heavily]
Did you kill her?
Did you kill Julia?
David, don't do this.
Tell me.
It was business.
David, don't.
Why? [pants]
Just good for business. It's nothing personal.
Nothing personal...?
David, don't!
[grunts angrily]
[grunt turns into yell]
[gunshot]
Don't look at me!
[Luke whimpers]
[grunts]
Call this in before I change my mind.
[breathes heavily]
It's over.
Chief Superintendent Craddock.
I need a firearms unit to my home address right away, please.
We've got prints back on your blank rounds.
They match known associates of Luke Aikens.
Why didn't they just steal your gun?
Straightaway, I'd have known they'd been in my flat.
They were trying to frame me.
Suppose they couldn't take the chance of leaving me with live rounds.
[police radio]
Cheers.
Great work, mate.
[Sharma] SO15 recorded interview with Chief Superintendent Lorraine Craddock
by DCI Sharma.
Describe the nature of your relationship with Luke Aikens.
[clears throat]
For some years, I've...
disclosed sensitive information on...
on police operations that might threaten his criminal activities.
[Sharma] What information did you disclose regarding the Home Secretary?
Her itinerary the day of the Thornton Circus attempt on her life.
[Sharma] Which Aikens passed to Andrew Apsted?
Luke recruited Apsted.
He armed him and...
used one of his captive businesses to, um...
enable Apsted to access Pascoe House as a tradesman.
[Sharma] And the St. Matthew's attack that resulted in the Home Secretary's death?
Um... [sobs]
Her itinerary.
Her security plans and procedures.
Luke was able to, um...
plan steps to overcome all of them.
What motivated Aikens to induce you to disclose this information?
[sighs]
Um...
[inhales deeply]
Luke found out Julia Montague was planning
to transfer powers to the Security Service, which would give them...
an upper hand, more of an upper hand against organized crime.
They're harder to contact, more shadowy. Therefore...
harder to bribe and blackmail.
Unlike corrupt officers such as yourself.
Aikens needed policing to stay with an organization he could manipulate.
[Sharma] Is there any connection with you
appointing David Budd as the Home Secretary's PPO?
Yes.
So he'd make the perfect fall guy.
[Sharma] And the Heath Bank attack?
Did you provide the confidential information on PS Budd's family?
No, never. I...
I'd never do anything like that to one of my team.
If she didn't do it, who did?
Lorraine Craddock, I will now be seeking the authority of the Crown Prosecutor...
There's one other person in this whole conspiracy that knew about my kids.
[Sharma] ...public office... conspiracy to murder.
Interview terminated.
[sobs]
[news report #1] Ten days since the assassination of Julia Montague...
[news report #2] The Metropolitan Police Counter-Terrorism Branch SO15 made
a number of arrests.
[news report #3] Arrests include a man in his 30s known to police...
[news report #2] Downing Street and the Home Office have welcomed
the police breakthrough in investigating the Home Secretary's assassination.
A Home Office spokesman said it was too early to make any comment.
David.
Good to go.
[Rayburn] The DIR is recording.
Nadia.
I'd like to start by asking you about David Budd.
Did you have any information regarding his children?
No.
Why are you asking me this?
Nadia, we've had significant breakthroughs in our inquiry.
There's only one piece of the puzzle left... and that's you.
Maybe you're just an innocent victim in all of this...
the pawn controlled by the real masterminds.
You can say no comment.
Is that true?
Are you just a victim?
David Budd made the same mistake.
He thought so little of me, he showed me pictures.
What do you mean, thought so little of you?
To him, I was a weak woman.
I remembered everything he told me about his children.
Their names... their ages.
From prison, I was able to inform my organization.
So they could launch an attack on his children's school?
Yes.
There's another finding I'd like to put to you.
We've able to examine the person-borne improvised explosive device
David Budd was forced to wear.
Forensic examination of the control unit's circuitry detected deposits
of your DNA and your fingerprints.
Why would that be?
Because I built the device.
I built all the bombs.
You all saw me as a poor, oppressed Muslim woman.
I am an engineer.
I am a jihadi.
[Rayburn] Which bombs?
The one used to kill the Home Secretary.
The one used to kill police officers at Heath Bank School.
The one I wore on the 1st of October.
So, you're telling us, this man didn't supply the bomb to your husband?
I invented that story because Police Sergeant Budd was so eager to believe it.
And so stupidly eager to believe me.
You made that up to mislead our inquiry?
How easy that was.
You are all so easy...
It wasn't just you, mate. We all fell for it.
Who planted the device at St. Matthew's College...
the one that killed the Home Secretary?
Non-believers.
Criminals.
[Rayburn] Luke Aikens?
Yes.
[Rayburn] Why did you conspire with non-believers?
For money.
Money to build more bombs
and buy more guns and spread the truth
to our brothers and sisters throughout the world...
so that the world would be convinced that we put a sword
through the heart of the British government.
You failed to detonate your own PBIED on the 1st of October rail attack.
You couldn't go through with it.
But look how I have atoned.
I have helped the cause a thousand times more.
[presenter] We're being told a statement by the Prime Minister is imminent.
Meanwhile, all day, ministers have been giving their reaction
to this morning's news
that the Prime Minister canceled today's engagements.
[man] Home Secretary, any reaction on the breaking news?
Really, please, we should avoid speculation until the Prime Minister's had
the opportunity to address the allegations himself.
- [knocking] - Yeah. Come in.
[presenter] Today's event follow unconfirmed reports
of a leak of compromising material relating to the Prime Minister's past.
[woman] Is the Prime Minister going to resign?
I'm just getting on with the job of protecting our country.
Thank you.
- [journalists shout out] - Home Secretary!
It's also being reported the leak implicates
the Director-General of the Security Service, Stephen Hunter-Dunn. The...
The Prime Minister will resign before the day is out.
Hunter-Dunn, the same.
Mike Travis, he stays on to make sure RIPA-18 gets kicked into the long grass.
Leaking the kompromat... whose decision was that?
I couldn't possibly say.
Thanks to you, David, the CPS have charged Nadia Ali, Luke Aikens
and Lorraine Craddock in the conspiracy to murder Julia Montague.
Some say you should get a medal.
Others reckon you should be kicked off the force.
We'll see.
There'll need to be a thorough investigation into your conduct.
But first, David, there's something you need more than all of that.
[woman] Come in.
- [David] Hello. - Hello.
I'm David.
And I, uh...
I need some help.
[sighs]
[knocking]
Hi.
Hey.
Uh, come in.
- How are you doing? - I'm good.
How are you?
[sighs]
I'm getting there.
Well, you've... taken the first step.
I'm really proud of you.
The kids are looking forward to sleeping in their own beds again.
- I bet. - [chuckles]
I was thinking...
it's actually my turn for them again but only if it's okay with you.
Yeah, um...
Kids, your dad's here!
[Ella] Dad!
- No train journeys this time. - Mm.
- Dad. - Hello, princess.
Ah!
Ah! There's a monster on my back! Get him off! Get him off!
[Vicky] Okay, you behave. You have fun.
Do you, uh...
What?
Nothing.
'Cause, um...
there's room for one more.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll get my bag.
[chuckles]
- Mummy's going to come too. - [kids] Yeah!
[door closes]
[giggles] Oh! He's off!
Okay.
[happy chatter]
[David] Let's go.
