Episode 4

N0 ID! N0 ID! Where is she? Yasim! Where is she? What have you done with her? Tell me she's alive.
just tell me she's alive! Last emeny S01e04 HE GROANS My own brother.
He'll talk to me.
Where is Yasim? You need to explain yourself.
I went to your funeral.
S0 did he.
He was very upset.
You were "like a brother" to him.
But you knew I wasn't dead.
Of course I didn't! I know that you've been following me.
I saw you at the Kellerman-Deloit plant.
No, I wasn't following you.
But I thought I saw you there.
I c0uldn't believe it, you were dead! Who was inthe coffin? Why were you at Kellerman-Deloit? Tell me she's alive! You need to explain yourself.
You.
.
.
need.
.
.
t0 explain.
I've opened your notebook.
I've seen the classified files, information on Yasim, Nadir, ???? apartment.
Who are you working for? MI5? 6? Untie me, and tell me what happened, because I'm not going to talk to a FUCKING GHOST! You will answer to me.
I want SHSWCTS NOW.
Itjust d0esn't make sense, it's not who he is.
S0 let me ask him.
He's dug in.
He's the most stubborn, pig-headed person.
Michael, this place will be busy in one hour, we can't keep him here.
And you've got a sick refugee back at your place.
What are you going to do? Who is this Magna Carta prick anyway? I'm alive because I wasn't in the jeep.
I sort of worked that out.
The driver and a guy we picked up on the road were in it when it got hit.
I'm not too sure which parts of who were in my coffin.
There wasn't very much left of them.
There was a pick-up truck behind us on the road.
It vanished when we slowed down so.
.
.
'I decided to run up to the top of a hill to see if he was following us.
'The idea being that the jeep would carry on, circle round and come back to get me.
'Half a mile on, it got blown to pieces.
'It was a couple of RPGs.
' Somebody tried to kill me because I was making a noise about refugees getting ill and then dying.
I decided there and then to be dead and stay dead.
I thought I could probably find out more that way.
Did you? Now you tell me where she is.
I can't do that.
You might be tagged, or under surveillance.
Somebody tried to kill her.
I'll tell her.
Then she can come to you.
D0n't.
.
.
f0ll0w me.
What's the running order? They'll show a piece on a heart transplant, a mum in Aberdeen killed on the morning school run.
By the time the kiddies come home, another mum 500 miles south in Bristol is having the Scottish heart and kidneys plumbed in.
Old science, this time it was TIA that made the match in seconds.
One of millions of transactions from one database.
Hi.
Minister, has Stephen Ezard been in contact with you? N0, why? He isn't in his apartment, he hasn't been into work and we have no track on him at all.
Oh, God.
Good.
Yes, Minister, good.
We'll keep watching, we'll be there soon.
Oh.
shit! Shit! What's wrong? Where's Russell? I d0n't know.
I don't know how to tell you.
Stephen.
.
.
what happened? I told you I saw Michael.
Outside the Kellerman-Deloit factory, yes.
It was him, he's alive.
He wasn't in the jeep.
Why are you saying that? Because I've been with him, talking with him, arguing! What's wrong with you?! Yasim, it was him! I saw body parts.
His bracelet was on his wrist! He planted it to make it look like he was dead.
Stop it! It's not him, it's someone else.
Why are you doing this? Why?! I'll take you to him.
G0 back inside.
G0 back inside! It's not him, it's not Michael.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, thank God! Who is he? Yasim.
.
.
How could you do it? How? How?! Y0u're dead! Stay dead! What is this place? Who the fuck are you? He's my brother.
The dead brother? Yeah.
Did you invite him to the party as well? 'Shutting down all systems.
' It's not much 'Destroy all data.
' .
.
I realise that.
'Deleting files.
' Rats eat through cables, pigeons shite everywhere.
But I liked it here.
'System deleting.
' Safe, you know? Safe and secure.
Yasim! Yasim, let's go now! Who is he? He's Nadir's step father.
What's going on? I love the smell of napalm inthe morning.
I want to see him for myself.
to confront the reality of what we've done to these people.
What "we've" done to these people? We're the ones trying to effect a solution here.
He's getting the best possible treatment.
You mean the medical staff here know what they're treating him for? He's responding well.
Responding so well that he's got up and walked out? Let's just pray to God that he has.
It's when they're dead they get dangerous.
What's the time of death? 07:55.
He's written up as respiratory failure.
Well, that covers a lot of sins.
When can I have him? Good morning.
Patrick Nye.
I'm here to take a look at the deceased.
And you are? Professor Lawrence Cooper.
What's your interest? It's a security matter.
The deceased had links to a terrorist organisation.
May I? And your interest is? Nasty diseases.
I've been asked to take a peek inside.
That's our man.
Thank you for your help.
Professor Cooper.
That's it? just ticking boxes, making sure you had the right body.
We're pretty good at that in here.
Who wants him to take a "peek" inside? I need a connection to a D7 service team, please.
George, no-one is going to be taking a "peek inside" anybody.
It's all starting to make sense.
Nadir's body would have been destroyed.
Same as inthe camps.
There's something inside the bodies that terrifies them.
I'm sorry for what I put you through.
I was so wrong.
Yasim, where are you going? Nowhere.
Anywhere.
Away from you.
Stephen's told me everything.
About Andrew, about Nadir.
The hell you've been through.
Let alone what I did to you.
Someone had just tried to kill me, I was confused, I was frightened I wept blood for you! At the time it seemed the right thing to do.
It was the most stupid, cruel, hateful thing to do! I did it to protect you.
I thought that if they knew I was alive, they'd come after you.
They did! I've nailed it down to one batch of vaccine.
EZ759.
No-one survives, you get sick and then you die.
just like Nadir.
Nothing is worth what you did.
Nothing! It's a massive cover-up.
The drugs companies, aid charities, government organisations, they're all colluding.
It's all you ever see.
Never the people around you.
The people around me were dying because of a jab we gave them.
And it's notjust the few we knew about, there are hundreds.
I came in with a group of refugees.
They've all had the jab and one of them is sick.
I need you to get a blood sample, so we can get it analysed.
Come on! It's the three of us now working together.
What? Say it.
We We know someone that we might be able to get the blood sample to.
He might help.
Cooper.
Professor Lawrence Cooper.
Good! It's Michael, where's Bepa? N0, no everything's fine, more than fine.
He's what? OK, thanks.
That was one of Bepa's brothers.
Bepa's taken Haman and the others to a train station headed for God knows where.
We need to get to them before they disappear.
You w0n't be able to get anywhere without ID.
You w0n't get anywhere near ???? Nc.
But Antony Cohen can.
We've found them.
All three of them.
They've just entered the transport system.
I hope to God I'm right about Stephen.
I lived with him for five years.
Of course I'm right.
I can't not be with you.
Please d0n't tell him.
Unless you tell him I will lose you.
Y0u'll go back to him.
Stop it.
You d0n't know that.
He d0esn't know what? What's the problem? Russell, Nadir's step-father.
Going off like that, He didn't ask about you, he wasn't interested, wasn't curious.
It didn't feel right.
We've lost his trust.
Come on, Bepa.
Open the back door! Let's have everyone out, one at a time with your ID cards, please.
N0-one is gonna hurt you, it's OK.
We just want to see your ID cards.
That's it, thanks very much sir.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
OK, thank you.
Move along.
What did I tell you? Perfect biometrics.
Perfect! Let's get you on that train and a new life.
Stand still! Let's see your hands! I saw them go through.
There was no problem.
No problem! Those IDs were perfect! Perfect! S0 why did they get picked out? We have to go.
Mr Ezard? Stephen Ezard? Thank you.
We've been worried sick about you.
You just disappeared.
Y0u're high profile now, Stephen.
You could have been kidnapped by terrorists or criminals out to target TIA.
How did you know where I was? It's a very basic procedure.
Posted your ID out on various systems.
You flagged up entering the transport network.
Cameras took over and followed you when you left.
What were you doing in a train station? I was saying goodbye to someone.
You know, I really envy your life sometimes.
The world of pure research, not having to get mixed up in this messy, complicated world, setting your own agenda.
This is the reason we were so desperate to get hold of you.
It's very good news.
I haven't told him yet.
Stephen, Inquirendo would like to fund your research, not for the next three years, but for the next five.
Business class travel, details of financial arrangements, ????0L | S ONES.
You're booked on a flight first thing tomorrow.
I can't possibly leave first thing.
Excellent.
Thank you.
It's everything you wanted.
It's a wonderful offer, Stephen.
For G0d's sake, will you take it! CAR BEEPS Where are you going? Back to my work, back to China.
They got to you.
N0.
We saw them pick you up.
They got to you.
What did they do, Stephen? Did they threaten you? Nobody "got to me".
They wanted to make sure I was all right.
They were more worried about the profile of the project I'd been working on than they were me.
I need to get back to my work.
Innocent people are dying.
Hundreds of thousands of them die each year.
Millions, I expect.
But not in front of your eyes.
I'm nowhere near them.
But if you can do something If you want to blow a whistle, find someone who's got one newspapers, television.
We've tried.
There's no story.
The facts just disappear.
You saw what happened to Haman and the others.
They had corrupt IDs.
That had worked perfectly.
Against hand-held readers.
A major transport system is always going to have more sophisticated ones.
Without a blood sample, there's nothing more that can be done.
We d0n't even know that it's the same sickness.
And I can't find out, I'm out of ajob, I have no access.
Michael, I'm no use to you.
All those risks that you took, tracking Yasim down to make sure she was OK, digging into Kellerman-Deloit why would you do all that? For Yasim.
.
.
and you.
And now y0u're back together.
.
.
You d0n't need me.
I did everything I could.
I've done all that I can.
How is Yasim? It's difficult but we'll get there.
D0 you have any cash? You w0uldn't believe the prejudice banks have against dead people.
Say goodbye to her for me.
She'd prefer to hear it from you.
Do you know what's so sad? It actually felt good, the idea of working on something with you, something with a purpose.
Like real brothers.
Take care.
You too.
And thank you for looking after Yasim.
DOOR CLOSES PA: "This is the last call for flight BA 104 to Chicago.
'Last call for flight BA 104 to Chicago.
' ALARM Pass again, please, sir.
ALARM That's it, sir, your keys are the problem.
It's your keys.
It's a massive cover-up the drugs companies, aid charities, government organisations, they are all colluding Everything's heavily monitored, checked regulated.
Except when the line broke down.
Yasim, I've got it, I know what's going on.
Call me when you get this message, we've got to see Cooper immediately.
Stephen Ezard didn't make his flight.
I'm very sorry.
You did your best.
He's expecting you.
Nc.
I'll get a top-up.
Leave the luggage.
Oi! Us being strangers, it's killing me.
I'm not a ghost.
REJECTION BEEP REJECTION BEEP I had it valued five years ago for insurance purposes.
A nice tick-tock.
You know, it's not easy selling analogue in a digital age.
How much? Forty.
ID, please.
Oh, dear.
Failed.
That's not possible.
Try again.
All right, I cannot accept goods without a valid ID.
Well, that is a valid ID.
That is who I am.
Well, I'm sure it is.
It's just that the system, for whatever reason, now regards you as NOT having a valid ID.
And I tell you what, your clock is not the only thing that is ticking.
There's an automatic alarm with failures now and depending on why your ID has failed, there could be a police response, invariably a rather swift one when it comes to establishments like ours.
The university's closed.
ID! Swipe your ID! Swipe your ID.
I've lost it.
Please, I need to speak to Professor Cooper, Professor Lawrence Cooper.
You need ID.
He knows me.
Not without an ID he d0esn't.
Please, can I get a message to him? Please! It's important!! SIREN BLARES IN DISTANCE It was always going to get away from us.
How on earth did we think it wouldn't? How long has this been going on, George? Um, a couple of days.
That's good.
They haven't gone public.
They want something.
T0 trade in something like this We've come this far, I'm sure we can do business with anyone.
We should have brought Michael Ezard inthe moment he came back from the dead.
Nothing is going to happen to him, he's safe where he is.
Last update had him getting re-acquainted with his wife.
We still need to be sure of their circles of acquaintance.
What about Professor Cooper? So far not in their circle.
And Russell? I'm hoping this is him.
I'm assuming it's the retirement package he was never offered.
Until we know, we'll need to keep all the plates spinning in case we've missed someone.
I d0n't think we have.
I don't think it goes beyond our man, his brother and his wife.
I'm not sure I can spin any more.
Please, please, somebody help me.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Help me! Stop, help me, help me.
Help me! Please, help me! For G0d's sake, help me! HELP ME! Bastards! Wankers! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa! 0h, oh, not long on the street then, eh? Eh? It's the shoes that give it away, the shoes.
Nice pair though.
Very nice.
I know somewhere you can bed down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is right that is the most vital question for you now in your new life.
Get it wrong at your peril.
"Can I trust this stranger?" In a world where strangers are frightening in a world full of strangers.
I haven't got any money.
Well.
.
.
where I've got in mind, that's probably for the best.
Huh? 'Ere, Wafa! All right! Welcome.
.
.
t0 the swamp! You seem like a very private sort of person.
Don't worry.
Down here, you can be as private as you want.
No turnstiles or cameras here.
N0-one here's got any IDs? D0n t know.
Fve got six.
But it is getting harder they're draining the swamp.
You know, it should be a a human right, the right to be anonymous.
The right to disappear.
The right to just bugger off.
That's all I ever wanted.
My idea of heaven, a room of 0ne's own.
I used to have one once.
If you need cash, NOWIS y0LI | ' chance.
Y0! I'll take one.
S0 will he.
It's just good business, there's people with cash but no IDs who need operations.
They need blood, we need the money.
The Government and big business hate the freedom cash gives us, so they're trying to eliminate it.
But the market will invent its own currency.
.
.
I'm good for another bag.
There's an all-nighter - best breakfast you'll ever have.
Put some blood back in your veins.
I'll catch up with you there.
Give us your money! I've got it, I've got it.
Let's go.
Agh! Oh! Agh! Yasim? Yasim! Stephen.
Oof.
.
.
Agh! What happened to you? Why did you just go? What are you doing here? I'm here to see Cooper, to ask if he ???? ???? I need to talk to him but they w0n't let me in.
What we did you and me, it means nothing.
In all of this, it means nothing.
But to us, it means everything.
I thought I'd never see you again.
I could never leave you.
I???? a tag.
At the airport, my keys, they set off an alarm.
There must have been a batch of vaccine that contained a tag.
It's some experiment.
An internaltag, nanotechnology.
It's what Haman and the others set off at the station.
The experiment's gone very wrong.
Get Cooper.
We need him.
Yeah? 'Dr.
Yasim Anwar to see y0u.
' I d0n't have any appointments.
Er, hang 0n I'll come down.
OK, thank you.
He'll be right with you.
Thanks.
We've lost Cooper.
What? When? About an hour ago.
It may be nothing, but he's thin air.
Michael Ezard? He's fine.
He's safe.
And George? I don't know yet.
I'm sure it'sjust more hand holding.
I'll get back to you.
What ever happened to walking off quietly into the woods? We'll have to make sure he hasn't left anything lying around.
That's already being done.
What type of tag? Perhaps as small as a drop of blood.
Maybe carried inthe blood stream.
I don't know.
Cooper would have been able to help.
The university can't find Cooper anywhere.
I'm glad you didn't get on the plane.
I'm starving, you must be too.
That smells good.
Why d0n't we get some of that? This is difficult.
This is something the three of us are going to have to work out.
Nadir took the jab to convince people it was safe to give their kids.
It didn't actually fully work.
S0, she gave me the jab as well, from the same batch EZ759.
S0, if y0u're right, I have the tag in me, and I'm also part of the same experiment.
I didn't want to tell her.
I just wanted things to be the way they used to be.
Maybe not everyone gets sick.
Everyone gets sick everyone dies.
How long? A couple of days My b0dy's aching like hell.
I can feel it inside me.
I didn't really think to say anything, because I never thought it'd happen to me.
How am I going tell her that this time, it's for real? Hey there.
It's a bomb! Charlotte! Charlotte!
