Promise me that you're gonna find my family.
Okay.
That man who died?
- He was a friend. - My doctor.
His medicine. I need to get to a pharmacy.
The medicine is ready.
He's been shot.
- Laura? - Dad?
I need you to do something for me.
What is this document about?
"Apocalypse Watch pledges itself to the preservation
of Mother Earth by any and all means available."
It's worth a lot more than 2,000.
You have your access card to the
- service tunnel? - We're going home.
That man, he's here.
Where are we with the daughter?
I'm on the trail.
The contamination is growing. It could become irreversible.
He's hiding something from me.
- He mentioned a bacteria. - Apparently,
it was devised as a breakthrough technology for cleaning up
oil spills.
But now it's been weaponized.
He invented it, Mika.
You should have told me.
- On your knees! - Down!
Really quiet.
- Come on. - Okay.
- You take him. - Can't look back.
I'll take the bag...
Shit. Give me back him. Go.
Sam, come on. Just follow me.
Get down, get down.
Okay. Come here.
Okay. Just get down, get down.
Sam, get down.
- M-Mum, what-what-what... - Hey, let's go. Go, go.
Okay, Sam, just keep going, keep coming, keep coming.
Just follow me, follow me.
Just keep coming. That's it, that's it.
Okay, sweetie. You okay? Okay?
Keep walking. That's it. That's it, that's-that's it.
Keep walking, keep walking.
Mum, what's that?
- That noise? Like a motor? - Yes, Sam?
It's probably just a train. Their tracks are just below us.
Trains aren't running.
Sounds more like a...
a...
Shit!
Shit. We've got to go, Sam. Sweetheart,
we're-we're gonna crawl under here.
I'm coming, I'm coming, just wait for me.
Please take my hand, Sam. Run, baby, run!
Come on!
Stay there. Stay, stay, stay, okay?
Okay.
Please work.
Okay.
Come on. Step up, steps.
Okay...
Oh, my God.
Okay,
- I'm not very good with heights, uh... - Come on.
- We have to hurry. Come on. - Okay.
Okay. Sam, you stand there. Stand still, stand still.
Okay, it's a ladder, like at the park, okay?
So, you're gonna follow me down, slow and steady.
Raf will help you get on, okay?
I'm gonna go first. Right.
Right, right, right.
Okay. Okay.
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
- Mum... - I don't think I can do it.
- Oh, God. - If it gets scary,
just close your eyes.
I need to see where I'm going, Sam.
You don't have to see.
You know where your feet are. You know where your hands are.
Just trust. Just like you taught me.
You can do this, Mum.
Yeah, okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I've got it, I've got it, Sam.
Oh... yeah, I've got it.
I've got it, Sam. Okay.
- Come on. - Yeah?
Slow and steady.
You got it?
You've got it. Okay, okay. Okay.
Okay.
Good boy.
That's it.
Slow. Hold on tight.
Hold on tight.
This looks like a good place to lay low.
Maybe we can find a boat to crash in for the night?
- Yeah. - Yeah?
Okay.
Hmm. Hmm.
- This one? - Yeah.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Okay.
That's it. Good, you're nearly at the bottom.
That's it. You're at the bottom. Good boy, good boy.
- Come this way. - Will they come after us?
With any luck, they'll just alert the Brits
at the other end, but, uh, we should move.
Okay.
Step, step, step. That's it, good boy.
Come on, come on.
Walk... this way, this way.
That's it. I've got you, I've got you.
Okay.
That's it, good boy, good boy. Yeah.
How long will it take to cross?
Uh... about...
ten or 12 hours if we move at a steady pace.
It's about 50 kilometers.
If we had a Formula One doing 350,
we would cross it in about
- eight or nine minutes. - Yeah?
Good maths.
Shame we don't have a Formula One.
The storage facilities.
That's how they made it happen everywhere at the same time.
The way we figure it, at least.
When the pandemic began, oil prices cratered.
No one wanted to sell at a loss, so billions
of gallons were stockpiled in storage sites around the globe.
In the past few months, oil prices recovered.
World's back in business.
And all the stockpiled oil hit the market cheap.
Easier to contaminate storage facilities than hundreds
- of refineries, I see. - Yes.
Anything you think you know about him,
you leave it out here.
So, tell me,
are you our man?
What's that mean?
Are you involved in this?
Why would you think that?
You make me think that, Andy.
Your expertise, for one. Multiple attacks that left
a trail of bodies, but you walk away
from them all. Oh, and
Khalil Al-Rashid just so happens to call
on the man that created the bacteria
when he finds a problem with his oil?
Do I have to go on?
When I met with Khalil,
I didn't know what the problem was.
Once you saw the lab results, you did.
You knew right then that this bacteria
was your creation.
Why didn't you tell me?
I wasn't sure that I could trust you.
I wanted to wait until I knew
- we'd be landing back in London. - Well...
here we are.
Look, you don't...
you don't seriously believe I'm involved.
How did Farooq know where the safe house was?
- I don't know. - Well, you used my sat phone.
And you monitored the call.
You know that I didn't call Farooq.
Maybe you had a hidden one, a-another one.
Come on. I have nothing to do with this.
- We're on the same side. - Are we?
Your job gives you the ability to travel anywhere in the world
in an unassuming and legitimate manner.
In our business, we call that cover.
My work is legal
and probably several shades cleaner than what
you do for a living.
We're wasting time.
If you are not involved, you know who is.
That much is obvious.
So tell me anything that makes me believe that
you had nothing to do with weaponizing the bacteria,
that you were simply doing a good deed all those years ago.
I was.
That's what it was all about.
What we created.
We?
Time for your medication.
- Come on, let's go. - Yeah, keep going.
We'll catch up.
Let's take this off for a minute.
I miss Dad and Laura.
I know. I know.
I do, too.
Do you?
Of course I do. What do you mean?
Are you and Dad fighting?
You don't miss a trick, do you?
But you love him?
Of course I love him.
And we'll always love you. No matter what.
Hey, just hold this for me,
okay, silly?
That's it. Right there.
That's it.
Shit.
Wh-What was that?
The power's out,
my battery's almost dead.
Turn it off, then. Save the battery.
I don't need it. I can guide us.
Sam, you ca...
Remember when Dad let me drive?
Yeah.
Know why I was so happy?
'Cause you want to be a racing driver?
Well, it's not just that.
When he put my hands on the wheel, he trusted me.
I trust you, too.
Okay.
Okay, you can be my eyes, yeah?
Border Force! Stay where you are!
- Hands up against the wall. - Baby, it's okay.
- Mum, what's happening? - It's okay, it's okay.
- Get up against the wall. - It's okay. - No, no!
- Against the wall. - You two, keep your hands where I can see them.
I have to keep hold of him. He can't see.
- Move it. Move! Move. - He's blind. He can't see.
- It's okay, Sam, it's okay. - Keep moving.
Who is "we," Andy?
I developed the bacteria with a partner.
A friend.
Tobias. Tobias Heller is his name.
It's him that's behind this. It's got to be.
Tobias was your best friend?
Yes.
And you worked on this together?
Yes.
We wanted to change the world.
Make it a better place.
I'm not sure that's where this thing's heading, Andy.
That's why we parted ways. Tobias... became radical.
His...
ideas bordering on... dangerous.
I know the type.
Thinks he's smarter than we are.
Well, he is.
The thesis you and Tobias co-authored in university.
So, you've known about Tobias all this time?
Since about six hours ago.
So, go arrest him.
The last record on Tobias
date back to 2004. After that, nothing.
No driver's license,
no bank records, no tax returns.
Tobias sent this to you, right?
He did so to distract you.
Can't you see that he's-he's
wasting your time, trying to connect me to him?
You are connected to him, Andy.
Andy, it's your name right there. Right there,
next to his.
Now, I have read this, and it is...
I mean, it's brilliant.
It's brilliant, but it's also completely
fucking insane.
And it clearly shows an ideological bond between you
and Tobias.
You see what is happening in the world right now.
You and your best friend wrote that shit out 25...
It was an academic exercise.
We were young. We-we were being provocative.
We... we were just kids.
- Mapping out the end of the world? - No, the end of oil.
And-and not like this.
This isn't me. This is, this is Tobias.
So, what are we doing now? Do I, do I need to lawyer up?
Lawyer up?
How quaint.
I've invoked the Terrorism Act.
I can hold you without charges for considerable time.
Weeks.
Weeks?
Y-You don't have weeks.
You don't have days.
The bacteria is growing every second.
Listen to me.
I'm not involved in this. I'm not lying to you.
I didn't suspect Tobias until Luzrah.
And I get that you don't trust me,
but you don't have the time to do anything but trust me.
We're in trouble here, big trouble.
We've got, like, a day
to figure out how to turn this around,
or the world is gonna change forever,
and maybe it'll be a better place
or maybe a living hell.
No one knows.
But we're about to find out.
So, are you absolutely sure that you don't want me on your side?
Didn't say that.
Then put me in a lab where I can get to work.
And, Mika.
I need my phone,
and I need you to find my family.
- We need him. - I know. I have a team
of engineers and scientists assembled, the best.
Get Yeats in with him.
He wants his phone in case his wife calls,
and he's asked us to look for her.
I will not be dictated to by him. That's bullshit.
That's leverage, Cameron.
Ma'am.
You believe him, don't you?
Yes, I do. I also know him.
If we don't give him his phone, he will refuse to help.
His family are all that matter to him.
If we find his wife, he behaves.
She's leverage.
I mean, it's-it's the smart play.
Find her, then.
Oh, shit.
Are you worried?
Not really.
You?
No.
Take off your shirt.
Yeah.
Okay.
This place really reminds me
of that cabin me and my mum stayed in in California.
That time you were talking about,
when you got lost in the woods?
- Yeah. - Mm.
- But I didn't tell you the whole story. - Mm?
That my parents were freaking out,
and the, the park rangers were searching for me,
the whole town. It was on the news and everything.
You must've been terrified.
The thing is, I...
wasn't scared at all.
I just remember feeling like...
like everything was so beautiful,
and I just felt completely calm.
Like, safe.
Like everything in the world was exactly right.
That was it, then?
The moment you were talking about, when you found the truth?
Yeah.
That was the moment.
Dr. Yeats,
allow me to fill you in on where we are.
We appear to be dealing with a bacterial agent.
It is complex and, therefore, was created with a purpose,
rather than something that evolved naturally.
We identified the strain, but we're
nowhere near knowing how to deal with it.
Alcanivorax B.
Yes. Exactly.
- How did you know that? - Because I altered its genome
to create a super strain that destroys hydrocarbons.
My theory was that,
if we could accelerate the replication rate,
it could be a powerful cleaning agent.
Well, its replication
rate is exponential.
Well, all of our tests have shown that,
as soon as you introduce the bacteria
to a sample, it's impossible to stop it from spreading.
As long as there's oil for the bacteria to consume,
it will continue to grow
until there's nothing left.
Well...
we better get started.
Good move calling back.
You fucking shot me.
Because you hit me and then you ran.
Did you forget who you work for?
So, where is she?
You never said you worked with guns...
Or had guns, but I-I don't work for you anymore.
The deal is off.
You do. You agreed to worm your way into her life
for tuition money.
So, tell me where you are because, if you don't,
I will find you and I will kill you.
Go fuck yourself.
We've been working with the NSA and Israel's Unit 8200,
using A.I. to scour through CCTV footage
from the storage facilities.
We got a hit on one in the Middle East.
The tanker?
The make and model are correct,
but the safety regulations in the region
require that no vehicle in the fleet is more than
- seven years old. - Okay.
Those are the wrong headlights.
That's a 2011 model. It shouldn't be there.
They used this truck to contaminate the oil.
It was found abandoned at Ankara Airport.
Wait, so the driver escaped?
- They could have flown anywhere. - Actually, no.
There were only a handful of outbound flights that day
- due to the pandemic. - We pulled the passenger manifests,
searching for any known
associates of the Apocalypse Watch group.
Stefan Pesivic. He was arrested
three years ago in Norway during an Apocalypse Watch action
on an offshore drilling platform.
He was confirmed on board Air Arabia
flight 1192
bound for Heathrow.
Well, tell me we got a lead on him.
We do.
We have clear sight.
Team in position.
Stand by.
Target in sight. Get ready.
Eyes on target.
- He's coming out. - Go, go, go!
- Fucking hands now! - Get on your knees.
Hands behind your head.
Target apprehended.
You're going to prison, Stefan.
First, I'd like to show you something.
Fuck's sake...
Mum...
This way, please.
I've got you, I've got you.
Let him go.
- Uh, no, no, he's... no, no. - You need to let him go, ma'am.
- Mum! - He's my son, he's my son.
- You get back in line. - No, he's, he's blind.
He needs to stay with me! You can't take him!
- We're British citizens! - You don't have documents.
- You can't take him. Sam! - This is the procedure, ma'am.
- You need to go in line. - Sam!
- You can't just take him. - Mum! Mum!
Mum! Mum, help.
Sam! Sam!
Mum. Mum.
Can you hear me, Sam?
Sam? Baby? Sam?
Sam!
Go over there. Hi. Name?
Move, move.
Keep moving. Stay in line.
Stay there. Keep going.
Keep it going.
Any chemical additive could end up reacting with the oil.
We'll end up making it worse.
Well-well, then try compounding it with normal crude.
Normally, yes, but not in this case.
Yes, but what about if we look at the anabolic hydrocarbon?
There's got to be something there we can work with.
We need to engineer a virus.
Specifically targeted to attack the bacteria.
Let's work on developing several bacteriophages.
We only need one, but if we're lucky,
we could get multiple viruses to co-infect the host.
Elena. Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Andy, I'm-I'm at Folkestone Immigration Center.
They've taken Sam.
Elena, I-I-I can't understand you.
Can you hear me? Andy, I'm at Folkestone Immigration Center.
Elena?
Move. Let's go.
Over here, please, and speak to this officer. Thank you.
Next, please.
Hello. What's your name, please?
El-Elena Yeats.
She called. Elena. She just called.
I know. I know. We picked it up. She dialed out,
so MI6 can triangulate on her phone. In less than one hour,
I will know exactly where she is.
You're not gonna believe this.
What's that?
Well, it's, it's my dad's file.
It's his research from when he was a student,
but he was working on ways to clean up oil spills.
It looks like he created some kind of bacteria
that could clean oil
out of seawater.
Your dad was an environmentalist?
Maybe, at one time,
but...
what the hell happened to him then?
Owen, what if this bacteria
is what's contaminating the oil?
- Now, that's mad. - I know, but...
I think we need to get this to someone in government.
Like, the news said
there was a task force or something.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I, uh...
just need to use the men's.
Where am I?
What is this place?
Technically, you're now in what we call
a "human rights blind spot."
You're not registered as being in the custody
of any police force.
There are no cameras.
No one is watching.
You've simply vanished.
You're trying to scare me?
I don't know.
Are you scared?
We have you on video committing industrial espionage.
Some might call that terrorism.
You're going to prison
for life, Stefan.
I don't have to tell you anything.
Suit yourself.
Prison is not going to be negotiable.
What is negotiable is whether that's here in the U.K.,
or we extradite you to Luzrah,
where, I believe,
punishment for terrorism is beheading.
I've heard that beheading is welcome relief
to what precedes it.
Look...
I'm just the tech guy.
I designed
communications framework,
blockchain-based,
all transactions
in crypto.
It's meant to be
untraceable.
Meant to be?
Like I said...
...I designed the system.
It took some persuasion, but Mr. Pesivic
decided cooperation was the wiser course.
Seems Apocalypse Watch operations
are compartmentalized.
All operational assignments are given anonymously,
so you're never quite certain
of the chain of command above you.
You can't betray the cause, even if you wanted to.
Yeah, here's the good news.
Pesivic wrote the malware
that hacked into the power grid,
and he designed their communications.
He gave up an unguarded IP number.
Unguarded?
We can trace the traffic,
registered users, which led us to...
This is James Bradford,
although we're quite certain that's an alias.
No criminal record, no real record at all.
However, we've developed intel linking him
to Apocalypse Watch in a leadership role.
Dr. Yeats as requested, ma'am.
Dr. Yeats, do you recognize this man?
That's him. That's Tobias Heller.
We have his name as James Bradford.
No.
No, that's definitely Tobias.
Now, you're certain?
100%.
I have a team ready to hit the address we pulled
- from that IP location. - Go.
There's nothing more for me to do here right now.
The results will take some time.
You can go and get them.
From there, you'll be driven home.
You will not leave.
I'll have agents outside.
You'll answer every call from us. You understand?
Yes?
- What the fuck? - Laura.
Wait, please, no.
Please, before you think...
This is a satellite phone.
- Wh-Why do you have this? - Laura, I-I-I was just
trying to protect you. They promised they wouldn't
- hurt you. - Protect me?
- You-you fucking prick! - No.
They told me to keep an eye on you, that's all.
- Who's they? - I didn't know. Just...
- please. - Don't touch me.
Hello?
Shit.
Anybody here?
It's the police.
Hello?
Oi!
You two. On deck now.
Come on!
What are you doing here?
We're just leaving.
We've had a complaint. You're trespassing.
No, we-we're stranded. We need somewhere to stay.
There you are, Laura.
Oh, I've been looking for you.
Please, sir, you need
- to stop right there. - Relax.
- Just stop. - He's got a gun!
Oh, my God!
Laura, it's okay, it's okay.
I know him, don't worry.
- You know him? - Hey.
- Please. Go, please. - Back off.
- Leave her alone, mate, leave her alone.
Back off.
Let's go.
- Time to go. - No. No.
- Come here. - Get your hands off me.
- Time to go. - Get your hands off me.
Ash, no!
Look at all this, huh?
Is this what you wanted?
Leave her alone!
Oh, fuck.
Hey, hey. Hang in there. We're gonna get you help.
Okay? Hang in there, hang in there. Stay with me, man.
Stay with me. We're gonna get you help.
Okay? Hang in there, hang in there. Stay with me, man.
Stay with me...
Stay... Hey. Hey, hey.
Hey.
I know I shouldn't have done it. I... I'm so sorry.
Hey.
We have an agent waiting to take you.
- Okay. - You heard Cameron.
Take Elena home and wait there.
I got it.
And, Andy, be careful.
There's not a lot of trust around here
when it comes to you. One wrong move,
and they will take you off the board.
You understand what I'm saying, right?
Yes.
What's wrong?
I won't be here when you get back.
What? Where are you going?
I have a family, too.
Goodbye, Andy.
Goodbye, Mika.
No one's answering.
I can't believe Cameron is letting you do this.
My wife Elena Yeats and my son are in this facility.
He's with me. Now let us in.
- Elena Yeats? - Yes?
Elena.
Andy?
Andy.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
Where's Sam?
I don't know. They've taken him somewhere.
Well, let's go get our boy.
- Excuse me. - We want the truth.
We want the truth. We want the truth.
- We want the truth. - Stop the lies.
Excuse me, I need to get through.
I have important information.
And here's my pass, yeah?
I have some very important documents from Andrew Yeats.
Andrew York?
No, Yeats. Andrew Yeats, my dad.
He's-he's working with the government on the oil crisis.
I need to speak to someone on the task force.
Uh, you will want to speak to Karl Bergmann, then.
He's the one heading up the task force.
I'll just, uh... Oh, uh... Mr. Aarons.
This young woman would need to see Mr. Bergmann.
You all right, miss?
I'm Laura Yeats.
My dad is Andrew Yeats, and these are
his research documents.
And whatever's happening to the oil, it's in here.
I need to get these to someone who knows what to do with them.
Yes, that would definitely be Mr. Bergmann.
Why don't you have a seat? I'll see if I can track him down.
What...
I'm coming.
- Hello. - We're looking for Tobias Heller
or James Bradford. We need to speak with him.
There is no one here called that.
Area clear.
Ma'am.
We're just running the FRS on the city network.
Do we have a match?
Not exactly. We have dozens.
It's like we're getting hits all over.
It's like he's everywhere.
Can you bring up their images?
He must be on TV.
What?
The software can be fooled
by capturing biometrics that appear on screens.
Video displays...
It's this morning's press conference.
It's in the evening news right now.
It's all over the country.
The Mister isn't here. Has something happened?
- Do you know where he is? - At work, I assume.
- Is he all right? - Where's work?
Whitehall. He's a government scientist.
Karl Bergmann is Tobias Heller.
He's on the P.M.'s task force.
Hi. You're Laura?
