We're acting on intel.
There's a dangerous individual preparing a bomb factory in these flats.
We have a woman and a child needing medical attention.
EXPO, bathroom, now.
Oh, God.
She says they spoke a mixture of English and Arabic.
Arabic?
We're trying to maintain control
of an increasingly hostile situation.
We're gonna need a wider exclusion zone
before we get started.
Have you seen that?
What do you think that is?
Stand by. Firing.
Fireworks?
The fact that it's a non-lethal, low-explosive device,
could be significant.
What is she doing?
Er, a manual check.
- Help me. - Gonna help you,
but I need you to stay really, really still for me, please.
EXPO Two. Get back.
Someone else is in control of the IED.
There's a mobile phone attached.
ECM is active.
We're jamming.
Andy, is there anything there?
- No! - Got it.
I'm glad you're okay, darling.
I'm a tough nut to crack.
Anyone who knows how to rig up a pressure plate
and attach it to a secondary
wouldn't use a low-explosive charge.
What, you think they messed up deliberately?
I think it was a come on,
to lure us in,
make us evacuate the building
and give them a bigger target.
It's an organised terror cell.
Hey, Wash!
Stay back, stay back.
The death toll
from the Westhaven terror attack now stands at 18,
making it the deadliest attack London has seen
since the 7/7 terror attacks.
Among the dead was an experienced explosives officer,
40-year-old father of two Joel Nut...
Bus driver was alerted by a passenger.
We evacuated the bus and didn't touch anything.
Right, Danny, get kit up.
Right.
What kind of bag is it?
A sports hold-all with red wires sticking out.
Whereabouts?
Back lower deck.
How far back is that cordon?
- About 50 metres. - Right.
Send that back another 50 metres
and keep all comms off the device, yeah?
Yeah.
Right, we need to push back another 50 metres.
No, Danny, my day sack.
No, Lana. Please.
God's sake.
All clear! Danny!
- What is it? - Headphones.
- Headphones? - Headphones. False alarm.
All right, all right.
Geez.
Let's get it off. Easy, easy.
Thanks, Danny.
Morning.
Morning, Sergeant.
Doors opening.
Lana Washington?
Doors closing.
Cheers.
You all right, Sonya?
Hey.
They've already begun.
I'll see if they're ready for you.
I read your report earlier.
I'm so sorry, mate, about Nutkins.
Must be absolutely certain before we go public
with any information about the suspects,
especially in the run-up to the Deptford South by-election.
Please.
Thank you both for coming in.
The DAC is unavailable,
so as Commander I'll be chairing the meeting.
Before we get to you,
I want to hand over to Detective Superintendent Hamilton
to give us an idea where we are.
Thank you, Commander.
I'm afraid we've just had an update
from the Royal Lewisham Hospital.
We are now four days post-attack,
and as of 9:00 A.M. this morning
the death toll now stands at 18,
with another 27 critical.
We received a tip-off at 7:49 A.M. on Friday the 25th of June
that there was a significant amount of explosives
being prepared at a flat in the Westhaven Estate.
The flat was leased to an Andrew Phelan.
Do we know why Phelan was targeted?
DI Youngblood?
Er, Andrew Phelan has been on the watchlist
of our colleagues in the Security Services for three years.
A right-wing activist,
ex-English Flag,
with a criminal record for violent assault
on Black, Asian and LGBT targets.
In his interviews Phelan is adamant
he was the victim of an Islamist terrorist cell,
but given his far-right background
we're being cautious about accepting it.
We're exploring leads on who might have targeted him.
We're looking at his prison time,
his connections,
maybe even the victims of his assaults.
Sam?
Um, we found "one, nine, one, two",
1912, written on the wall.
Could be a code,
a date,
a signature,
could be nothing at all.
Moira, does that mean anything to the Security Services?
We've been unable to link this
to any known terrorist group,
um, but we'll liaise with SO-15 if anything comes up.
Thank you.
We believe this is how the attackers
got away from the crime scene.
CCTV from the estate was reported vandalised,
destroyed, maybe, the day before the attack,
but we found CCTV on the nearby A205.
This van with stolen plates joined the road
one minute after the service vehicle exploded.
Working hypothesis?
A targeted attack by an Islamist group
against an active white supremacist.
I have the EXPO here from the scene, Lana Washington.
She's already circulated her report,
but I've asked her to come in to give us her account.
Lana, thank you for this.
I'm sure it's all quite raw.
Thank you.
Call received 0800 to give EXPO support to SCO-19,
address Westhaven Estate.
We found a victim-operated IED in the toilet.
As you can see from the report,
the low explosive used shows that it wasn't designed
to cause a large explosion.
Fireworks, basically?
Yeah.
I believe the attackers' intent
was to lure in emergency services,
force an evacuation
and set off a larger device.
The service vehicle causing mass casualties.
Andrew Phelan was strapped into a suicide belt,
a remote controlled IED,
and then placed into the boot of his own vehicle.
In the initial SO-15 report
it says that Andrew Phelan was able to leave the car
and move towards the crowd with an operational device.
We had sniper cover.
Yeah, it was, um, a fairly simple suicide vest,
but it had a sophisticated firing switch,
which I used my snips to deal with.
At approximately 1200 hours
a vehicle-borne IED was detonated outside of the cordon.
We didn't have time to engage.
Joel did try to push the crowd back
but he took the brunt of the blast.
You did an excellent job, Lana.
Joel Nutkins will be put forward for commendation,
and we would all like to pass on our condolences
to you and your team.
This is Sonya Reeves from the Bomb Data Centre.
Sonya, what can you tell us about the devices?
Thank you.
Er, the suicide belt's main charges
were triacetone triperoxide, TATP,
similar to what we've seen used in the attacks
on Manchester Arena in 7/7.
TATP is volatile and unstable.
It's the go-to chemical for these types of attacks.
We're still analysing the scene at Westhaven.
Thank you, Sonya.
Okay, let's go to work.
Lana, do you have a moment?
I'm heading to the incident room.
Thom, I'll see you there.
I really appreciate you coming in and giving us your report.
Again, my condolences.
I feel like you wanted to say something else in there
during Sonya's briefing.
It's just they were able to bypass our ECM.
That's military tactics.
My gut tells me we're dealing with sophisticated bombers,
not some amateur Islamist who's got a grudge against Phelan.
I'll cut to the chase, Lana.
We're short a senior.
I'd like you to take over.
We need you.
Right, listen up.
I've just been at ELG.
We've got a load of work to do.
These are the priority lines of inquiry:
CCTV, forensics, suspect identification.
Security Services has given us a list of top suspects.
Head to Thames House,
work with them to eliminate as many as possible.
Leave no stone unturned.
Don't forget, they've killed one of our EXPOs.
Thames House have reported back
on the Islamist suspects under active surveillance
and excluded them from involvement in Westhaven.
We're still looking out for the green van.
Okay.
Er, keep me posted.
I'll be offline for a few hours.
I hope it goes okay.
Yeah, thanks, Sam.
Sorry.
I, um, I read something once:
"Grief and love are forever intertwined.
Grief is the terrible reminder of the depths of our love."
Shit.
How far we got?
Er, half a mile or so.
It'll move soon.
Yeah, but we don't want the work crowd
seeing us together anyway.
You know, it won't hurt for them to know.
Not today.
Yeah, not today.
See you there.
I love you.
Washington.
All right?
Excuse me.
There she is. Hey.
- Hey, Dad. - Hello, me duck.
Hi.
You look smart, Billy.
Bit grand, all this, eh?
Nut would love it though.
Hey. It's time, mate.
Hold my bag for me?
Yeah.
- See ya. - Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
It was always, "My team needs me," with Nut.
Like we didn't.
Jaz, I'm so sorry.
Hey. You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine. - All right?
- Just need a minute. - Okay.
Listen, look. Tell you what, yeah?
When I pop my clogs, I want something just like that.
No one will give a toss when you go.
Mate, you'd be lucky to get a few cans and a *park bench.
You working?
Is he bollocks.
It's just tough at the minute.
Oh, right?
Drinks, anyone? Mum?
Don't be such a mardy git.
No, Dad, just leave it, all right?
Thom.
Now, me duck, whilst we've got a bit of quiet, now,
you know how proud we are of you.
After what's happened to Nut, we, er...
Well, we just worry about you.
You've done your bit, eh?
Maybe you don't need to keep taking chances.
I'm not taking chances, Dad.
It's my job.
I've been doing it for years and I'm really good at it.
So don't worry about me.
Right, you two go home. I'll see you soon.
Come on then, let's go get hammered.
I should really get back.
Oh, okay.
Do you wanna come with me?
No, I should be here.
Yeah. Yeah, you should.
Okay, darling, see you later.
See you in a bit.
Hold on. Come on. * off. Come on.
* What you do that for?
All right, here we go.
Cheers, cheers. Cheers.
Here's to Nut, eh? To Nut.
Whose round is it?
Er, must be mine, I reckon.
Oh, it's Chris, er, Chris's round.
- Who? - Who?
What?
Bloody hell, Wash. It's Karl.
Karl. I knew that.
You said Chris.
Karl, I know, from Bastion.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Yeah, I did basic training for a few months,
but couldn't keep up with you and Nut.
Well, what can I say?
No, no, no, this is wasting valuable drinking time.
All right, all right, move up.
- Point taken. - Sorry.
It's all right. I was more of Nut's mate.
Won't hold it against you.
Drinks!
All right, get the Jameson!
It's just so tough. It's so tough.
I've applied for 20 different jobs
and not had a single interview.
A ball ache...
Mate, it took me years to get my biz up and running.
You've just gotta stick at it.
What do you do now, Karl?
I'm a mechanic.
Nice.
I fix up old motorbikes.
Tapped into the old midlife crisis market.
Bobby, innit? Is it Bobby? Bobby! It's Billy!
- Billy. Mini Washington. - Shut up.
You know, listen, mate, Wash has been telling us all about you.
How many times was it you tried getting in the army?
Turn it off, eh.
Couple of times.
Couple of times, yeah.
Don't you worry about it, mate. All right?
It's not for everyone, is it, eh?
Why would you do that?
What?
- What's your problem? - What?
What's your problem? Why would you do it?
Bobby! Come back!
Nice one, *
Hey. Billy, Billy.
Don't need you looking out for me, Lana.
Hey, I'm not looking out for you, knobbo.
Knobbo? How much have you even had?
Well, not enough to sit and listen
to five hours of shit army jokes.
Come on, you don't need to prove anything to them lot.
Yeah, I know.
Come on, have a drink. Come on. Don't be mardy.
Get off.
I'm fine. Just let me sleep.
Watch out, mate.
- Just I'm fine. - Wash, mate.
Just let me have five * minutes.
Up you get, Wash.
- Get her home, mate. - Get her some water.
I got you some water, Wash.
- Here you are. - You okay?
- Yes, I'm fine. - Wash, just grab some water. Here.
I don't want any water.
Have a bit of water.
- Sure you're okay? - Yes, I'm great.
You know, I've been where you are.
Where's that? The gutter?
Yeah, a few times, actually.
Come on, I'll drive you home.
I was on lime and soda all night.
How many did you have?
I have no idea.
Far-right groups say it's not doing enough
to protect the public.
Members of one of them, English Flag,
have taken to the streets to deliver their message.
Their leader, Agatha Jack, today visited the impromptu shrine
to the victims of the Westhaven attack.
Our people are dying, killed by Muslim terrorists.
Why are they hiding the truth?
Why are they covering up for them?
The Government and Met Police know exactly
who is responsible for this atrocity,
but it doesn't help the people of Westhaven
to hide behind political correctness...
Hey, Wash.
Brew?
No, I don't have time. I've just come to pick some stuff up,
and then I'm heading out.
Joel Nutkins was an army veteran in bomb dispo...
If you ever need anyone to talk to, or you need a few days leave.
I spoke to Detective Superintendent Hamilton.
I'm the new Senior.
Nice one, Wash.
Yeah, that's great.
Oh, lifesaver.
Yeah, thought you might be feeling a bit rough.
DI Desai is already in there.
Okay.
- Wash. - Hi.
Hi.
More footage from Westhaven.
Slightly closer angle, slowed down.
Look at the initial colour of the blast.
Damn.
It's white. Pure burn explosive.
What does that mean?
Well, look at how clean the burn is.
Pure white. That's a hell of a lot of powder.
So they know what they're doing?
It's not something
you could cook up in a garden shed?
The yield of the explosion
says that they've got very professional manufacturing methods.
They're pros.
_
Everything okay, Washington?
Yeah. It's all right.
Hello?
Can we trace the explosive?
If I can isolate it in the mix, yes.
Right, okay, we're on our way.
They've found the bombers' van.
We need to move.
All right?
That's the only obvious point of access.
We need to get rid of the van.
Okay. Lana, what do you think?
Looks deliberate.
Okay, let's check the van, then look in the building.
Danny, get the T9.
Go steady, Danny.
Clear!
Go, go, go!
Armed police!
Room clear!
Armed police!
EXPO! On me.
IED! IED dead centre!
I nearly stepped on that.
Good work, Brown. Spot on.
Right, get your guys out of here and under hard cover.
I'll take it.
Charlie Delta, EXPO now.
Why would they want to blow this up?
There's nothing here.
Battery pack explosive taped underneath the desk.
Right, so what's the plan?
Let's see if they've gone for a secondary.
Oh, God.
Looks like we've found a bomb factory.
Lana?
All clear.
Go and get the disruptor so we can separate the components.
Right.
Right, make sure your guys are under hard cover.
There's gonna be a controlled explosion in 45 seconds.
Roger that. Let's go, guys.
- Take the shot. - Yeah, give us a sec.
Hey, Wash! Have you got my snips, mate?
I wanna check out this van.
All set.
Circuit's good.
Priming.
Stand by.
Firing.
Sounded promising.
Let it soak.
Device neutralised.
Good work.
Sonya.
Look.
Could be nothing, but...
I saw Special Forces using an FG9 blip enhancer in Afghanistan.
Well, it would suggest they've had military training, but it doesn't
explain how they got past our jammers at Westhaven.
There's a weird stain over there.
Worth checking out.
Boss, am I okay to bag and tag this desk now?
- Can you just hang on? - Yeah.
Everything else looks pristine, apart from this.
Leave it with you?
Yeah, cheers.
Can we get some shots of this?
- Oh, Lana. All good? - Yeah.
Um, you all right, mate?
Yeah.
It's just, when you saw the device you looked a little bit...
Don't know what you're talking about.
All right. I'm gonna go sort out the rest of the equipment.
It's pristine.
What do you mean, "pristine"?
Well, have you ever seen a bomb factory that neat and tidy?
What have we got, OCD terrorists?
I bet you don't even pull prints.
Come on, Wash.
Well, name me one Islamist attack
we've had using jammers and high-grade explosives,
like the one at Westhaven.
Yeah, but we don't know they used a jammer.
That's just your theory.
This is a set-up and you're falling for it.
DI Desai, DI Youngblood. We found this.
What are we looking at here, then?
Improvised detonator.
ISIS's go-to det of choice.
Ain't that right, Wash?
Yesterday we were able to trace the vehicle
we identified leaving Westhaven.
It was found outside an industrial building in Tooting,
where we found evidence of bomb-making facilities.
DI Youngblood?
A booby trap detected at the bomb factory was neutralised by EXPO,
enabling a full forensic examination of the evidence.
This improvised detonator was found at the location,
typically associated with suicide bombers.
Which suggests it was an Islamist bomb factory.
Do we have any names? CCTV? Forensics?
No. They've covered their tracks.
No fingerprints at the site at all.
Not even on the detonator,
deliberately left for us to find.
Funny that.
That booby trap was meant to mess up the scene.
Defusing it allowed us to see how pristine the place was.
We seem to have hit a brick wall.
Let's try and keep this information
about possible Islamist attackers between ourselves
until we're in a position to make arrests.
A group-slash-persons unknown are placing London under threat.
And I'd like to have progress on that
ahead of the 5:00 P.M. meeting.
Thank you.
Lana, why are implying evidence was planted?
Just stick to what you know. Okay?
Listen, Thom, I'm not a detective.
I'll happily leave that side of things to you.
No danger.
But when it comes to explosives, I'm the expert.
I know what I saw.
Today, at Westhaven Estate,
the site of the deadly terrorist attack
that rocked the capital last Friday.
Eighteen people lost their lives,
including army veteran Joel Nutkins,
an experienced explosives officer
working for the Metropolitan Police.
With no group yet claiming they carried out the attacks
and no arrests made,
the far-right group English Flag has kept up its campaign
for blaming Islamists,
as the city continues to swelter under the heatwave...
The factory job.
Seemed like you had a moment or something
when you were in front of that device.
No. All good.
If you say so.
I, er, I saw that Special Forces battery they found.
You do know you can use lead acid batteries
in other things, Wash,
not just military-grade jammers.
You saw the improvised detonator at the bomb factory, right?
The only bombers that use them are the
ones that are happy to blow themselves up.
It's too easy, John.
Smells like bullshit.
They're leading us up the garden path.
Stop making excuses for 'em, Wash.
Wash.
Eh up, Sonya.
Prelim report came back on that stain you spotted at the bomb factory.
Come with me.
It's HMX-319.
Basically HMX combined with an additive.
And there's more. I finished my
analysis on the main charge at Westhaven,
and it contains the same HMX mix.
You were right, Wash.
They abandoned their factory and planted evidence
to make it look Islamist.
How the hell are the bombers getting military-grade explosive?
Lana, we gotta go. There's another device.
Do me a favour. Dig a bit.
Yeah.
A mosque?
The device was found by a worshipper in the mosque.
The first response unit have left it well alone,
and as you can see, everyone has been evacuated.
Islamists don't bomb mosques.
True. I'll have my guys on standby.
- Lana. - Danny, kit up.
This is Imam Mohammed. He found the device.
Right, okay. Mohammed, I need as much information
as you can give me, okay?
It's upstairs. There's like a, like a bag, on the door.
Did you touch it?
Yes, it's tied on with one of those plastics.
Right, like a cable tie?
Right, I just need you to tell me, did you see what was inside the bag?
A jar, with nuts and bolts.
Right. And was there anything attached,
like a mobile phone or a watch?
Yeah, yeah, a watch.
- One of them, er, cheap ones. - A timer?
Is that bad? What does that mean?
If you could just follow me, I'm just trying to clear this area.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
If you wouldn't mind taking this gentleman
behind the cordon, that would be great.
Right, I'm gonna be radio silent around the device.
Okay.
Radio silence from now on.
Danny!
What we got?
- Nail bomb. - Shit.
Timed explosion. Five minutes remaining.
I'll disrupt, but I don't want to damage the timer
- for forensics, okay? - All right.
Central Eight Five. This is EXPO Two Alpha.
We have T minus five minutes till explosion.
I repeat, T minus five, over.
This is Central Eight Five.
EXPO indicate a five-minute timer on the device.
Five minutes.
Shit. Mercury tilt switch.
- Shit. - Hello?
- Hey, hey! Help! - Hello?
- Help me, please, help! - Hello? Hello?
Is there someone coming?
Help me, please. Can you help me?
- Help me. Can you help me? - Gonna help.
Help me, please, please help me.
Please.
Help me. Help me. Please, please, help me, please.
Please.
Help me. Help me!
Hello?
Help! Help!
- Help me, help me! - Okay, okay.
Just stay really, really still, okay?
There's an explosive device triggered by movement,
so I'm gonna have to do a bit of work on the door,
so just stay really still and really quiet, yeah?
Please get me out of here.
- Can you get me out? - Stay real quiet.
Come on, please, get me out of here.
You're gonna have to be quiet, I'm telling you.
This is really difficult.
Look, Danny, I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news
or anything but I've got three minutes on my clock.
Yes, sir, I understand.
I'm seeing no movement from inside. Do you understand me?
I need to be able to get a message
into there and I need you to get her out.
Please be quiet, I'm begging you.
I really need to concentrate.
Argh! Please help me. I just...
Lana!
Hurry!
You need to get out now!
Help me, please!
