1 Did Danish mention a terrorist cell calling itself Saif Al Ijaaz? There's a religious scholar Sheikh Almasi.
You wish to be clean? Yeah.
Come on, Mona, he was troubled, all right? His dad's running around, trying to save the planet.
- He was saving lives.
- Whatever it was he was doing, it didn't do Danny any bloody good, did it? Don't talk about my brother like that, all right? Don't walk away from me! Mona! I've just heard that police are investigating Mr Khalid's personal affairs.
He's your nephew.
He's been targetted, turned, and is now being sheltered by Saif Al Ijaaz.
- How many attacks have you been planning? - Two.
I heard two.
Can you tell us the targets and times of these attacks? No.
They said go to London and wait.
- What, you're sending me back? - Danny? - No! I'm not going back.
- You messed up.
Think about your family, what you put them through.
You need to go back and make sure that those bastards pay for what the did to him.
It's your choice.
Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the riverbed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside (CAMERA MOTOR WHIRS) (DISTANT LAUGHTER) (BOYS LAUGHING) (SAMI YELLS) (SPRAY CAN HISSES) Sammi?

- Yeah, course.
Anything I can do to help, innit? Hey, look, I'm sorry about Guy.
- Whatever.
- Where's he staying? - Travelodge.
- Ooh.
You've got to see the funny side, though.
It's like I was saying to Ani.
I was, like, what's wrong with us? You know, first me, then you.
That's two out of four of us split up.
Yeah, well, it's not exactly the same thing, is it? I mean, we just had a fight.
Yeah, course.
I don't know what you're looking so happy about.
Well, I'm not happy, am I? I'm just Look, I'm just saying, two peas in a pod.
Should have just got on the bus.
Jeez, I'm sorry for suggesting that we might be related, Mon.
He's here, isn't he? Danny.
How'd you know? Look, don't worry, OK? I won't tell a soul.
- Ani told you, hasn't he? - Look, you can count on me.
So you actually spoke to him, yeah? I can't talk about it.
Do you know what? Maybe I can help.
He's my nephew and all.
(PHONE RINGS) Hello? When did this happen? All right, I'm on my way there now.
Mon! (MESSAGE ALERT) HEADMASTER: I'm afraid Luke had to be taken to A and E.
I'm told it's a miracle he didn't damage his eyesight permanently.
Sammi Sammi, is this true? I'm sure you can appreciate this is entirely out of character for our son.
Look, Sammi, could you give us a minute? I don't know what Sammi's been saying, but his class teachers report that he's not been himself for a while now.
Ah, you know what, you should probably know things haven't been great at home.
(PHONE RINGING) Hey, mate, I've got a parcel here for Lindley Court, W12 7BZ.
- DESPATCHER: Right.
- Yeah, no door number.
Yeah, hang on a sec.
Will it be number 34? Yeah, 34, yeah.
All right.
Yeah, there's a police notice on that one.
All deliveries to that address have to be scanned before you deliver.
- Right, cheers, Jessa.
- All right, mate.
- All right.
- Thanks.
The other boys were on the phone.
Apparently Sammi thought they were looking at that video of Kareem.
Oh, God.
Come home.
For Sammi.
(PHONE RINGING) Hello? HART: We've been trying to reach you.
Danny's under a lot of pressure right now and you need to talk to him.
- Erm - I'm sending a car for you.
Yeah, yeah, - I think I left some stuff inside.
- It's fine.
We'll talk later, OK? Yeah, yeah, whenever you're less busy or whatever.
How long has he been like this? They're waiting for the order to attack.
Well, why don't you just go in and arrest them? I wish I could, but the fact is, they're part of a network.
There's at least one more cell out there.
If we go in now, there's a danger we alert the network and trigger an early attack.
It's vital that Danny keeps it together.
He's still got the phone I gave him, you should call him.
- What do I say? - It's OK, no script this time.
Just tell him that we're still here and still with him.
- When do we do this? - As soon as we can get him by himself.
What if one of the other men hear? If that happens, just pass the phone to DC Keita.
- Hart.
- What? We've got a visitor.
That's my brother.
- What is he doing? - I don't know, but we've got to stop this.
Mona, you stay here with me.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR) (KNOCKING AT DOOR) - How did he know where to go? - I don't Maybe he saw my phone when I left it in the van.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR) - Do you expect someone? - No.
Omar! Leave it.
Come on! Delivery.
What's the name for the package? Ah, it's weird, no name, just the address.
34 Lindley Court? - May I see? - No.
No, you've got to sign for it first.
Do you want to do the honours, mate? - If you like, I can - Wait.
Do you know what? I've gone and forgot my console in the van.
Erm I tell you what, if you just want to step out.
Who sent you? No one sent me.
I'm a courier.
See? Parcel.
It's my van.
We're not interested.
Come back tomorrow.
- What's the name on that parcel again? - I said there's no name.
Hey! You got to sign for it, that's not your property.
- Get out of here.
- Give it back! Go! I'm sorry.
Here, sir.
Oh, my God.
Who sent you? Nobody's sent me, I'm a courier, I'm nobody.
Who sent you, huh? Who sent you? No one! Please, just let me go.
Please, mate, don't.
- What are you doing? - I've got this.
No, no, no.
Come on, man.
No! No, no, please.
Please, just let me go.
No! No, please, man! - Who sent you? - Nobody sent me! You need to stop it, you need to do something! Sir, do we go in? - No, wait.
- Are you sure, sir? - (SCREAMING) - Mate, you're killing him.
Tell him! I'm going in.
Then you need to stop them! Tell him! Enough! If they know where we are, we need to shift.
Right? You know him.
No.
Do you know this man? No.
For Christ sakes, man, I'm on your side! Prove it.
No! No! All right.
We need to move.
HART: Request for back-up.
Come on, come on, come on.
HART: They're on the move.
TANYA: Can I get an ETA on the ambulance? Omar, listen to me.
It's Mona, OK? - Is he breathing? - No.
Omar How could you let this happen to him? Hurry up, man, come on! He left it.
Bad news, Danish has left his phone.
- Shit.
Are the suspects in sight? - Yes, ma'am.
Keep visual contact but don't approach or we could provoke an early attack.
- Is that clear? - Ma'am.
Targets heading east on Layfield Road.
They're heading for the underground.
Heading into eastbound subway.
Sorry, ma'am, we lost them.
Right, I want a team at Leyton and every stop east till the end of the line.
Is that clear? We've only got three teams spare.
There's four on the detail in Wembley Jesus Christ.
Get onto the local squad, anyone they can spare.
Anyone.
Elliot.
- Ma'am, look - It's not your fault.
It's my fuck up, we should have pulled him in while we had the chance.
No missus tonight? - Never marry a doctor.
- (LAUGHS) GUY: Evening.
So, are we celebrating? You're the one that's meant to be keeping us in the loop.
We just got word.
Well, go on.
No more roadblocks.
Treasury want Manning Point signed and sealed tomorrow.
- Er wow.
I mean - I know.
What about that problem with the police? Case closed.
Over and done with.
Some low-life trying to make a name for herself.
Erm Cheers.
Wanstead tube just after six.
- See that? - Mm-hm.
And again ten minutes later heading west up the high street.
This should lead us to a new location.
- Great, we're making progress.
- I'll get a POLSA team on it.
You don't think we're making a mistake putting all this on him? Danish? Well, I would say no, but he left his tracker phone behind.
- Now, did he forget it or - Was he trying to lose us? (MONITOR BEEPING) Om I'm so sorry.
Sorry, you I was - I was wrong about Danny.
- Shh, shh, shh.
It should be him that's lying here, not me.
Evil bastard.
I'll go get us some drinks or something.
(LOW CONVERSATION) - We'll do everything we can but - Thank you, Doctor.
He's still in shock.
What's the doctor say? They need to do some more X-rays.
Do they know who's done it yet? How come the police aren't here? They're they're dealing with it.
There's a curse on our home.
All our men are broken.
SAMMI: Mum! How is he? He's got an L vertebra fracture.
Do you know what that means? - That means my brother may never walk again.
- ICU.
Fourth floor.
I hope you understand I had a duty to protect that operation.
Standing by while a man's getting beaten to death? - If I thought his life was in danger - Bullshit! - GUY: Mona! - He was just trying to help! Where's Danny now? We're following a number of leads.
You've lost him, haven't you? Haven't you? Come on, just get out of here.
Come on, come on.
- Mona.
- What? We found this in your nephew's jacket pocket.
I'm keeping this.
- Do you recognise her? - Yeah, it's his mother.
Sammi.
Seatbelt.
(RAIN PATTERING) BARNES: Saif Al Ijaaz is likely to be planning an attack using explosives.
Here is Rafiq in a shop in Kilburn two days ago buying a large quantity of hydrogen peroxide.
He's bought five bottles in this shop.
Danny and Hamoud are part of his network, they'll be trying to contact him.
He's been lying low since Ladbroke Grove but now he's buying ingredients for TATP explosives.
So, where's he hiding? What else has he been buying? I want CCTV, traffic cam, AMPR, any facial recognition from these images.
Clear? We've got two or more active cells preparing strikes in London.
Where are they hiding, where are the explosives, what are the targets? We need answers now, tonight.
(POLICE SIRENS WAILING) Oi, listen.
(SIREN FADES) I dunno.
Just thought that you were not on my side, that's all.
I'm always on your side.
I should have trusted you, I should never hold back from you.
I can't lose you, Guy.
I'm I'm sorry.
All right.
(DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE) (TV ON) (TV OFF) Where did you get this? Danny had it on him, apparently.
- It's his mother, right? - Mm.
Well He never mentioned her to me.
- No? - Not once.
It just never came up.
He didn't want to offend you, I suppose.
Offend me? He was so tiny when she passed away, so Yes, but Nothing.
Please.
You know with his father going off to Lahore so often, one day he came to me and said This was when you'd just got married, he must have been four or five years old.
He said "I know why he's always going off to Lahore.
It's because of her.
" - His mother? - Yes.
But she wasn't alive so He decided she was alive after all, you know.
It was a tale he told himself.
Father and mother together.
When he was old enough, they'd come and bring him home.
And you encouraged him.
I didn't.
In fact, I said, "How lucky you are to have such a good father.
Just think of the sick little boys and girls he's helping.
" - I bet that made him green with envy.
- A little.
A lot.
He worshipped his dad.
It always broke his heart when he went away.
(MUFFLED SCREAMING ECHOES) (AGONISED SCREAMS) - What happened? - I dunno.
We need to get him to a hospital.
- No, no hospital.
- What? Abu Let me think.
All right, no hospital.
My auntie, though, she's a doctor.
- No.
- She's a good person, you can trust her.
No! Come on, just let me call her.
She'll come here, she won't tell a soul.
Come on! Come on! (PHONE BUZZING) - Hello? - Danny? Mum.
OK.
- Where are you going? - Somebody needs a doctor, darling.
In the middle of the night? You should go help them.
- Love you.
- I love you, too.
Get some sleep, OK? Remember, no eye contact.
You get in, you get out.
- You still got the phone? - Yes.
Leave it behind when you go.
Somewhere they won't find it.
It's a listening device.
OK.
Tell me, what is it you're looking for? Timing and targets of the attacks.
And this guy.
Rafiq.
He's the leader of the second cell.
So we need any information on him and his whereabouts.
Danny did well to call.
We had no idea where they were.
I know.
(PHONE RINGING) I'm here.
GUY: Know what happened the last time I was asked to wait here? - I do.
- Yeah, they shot my wife.
- Mona's safety is our chief concern.
- Yeah, well, so send her home! You know she consented to help with this operation.
Jesus Christ, Vivien! If you hurt my wife again I will fucking destroy you.
There is more at stake here than the wellbeing of your family.
- I get it.
- What do you get? It's about your colleague, Townsend.
It's not just about him.
Let me spell this out.
Saif Al Ijaaz, how do you think they fund their terror operations? It's not through organised crime, it's not through oil revenue, it's donors.
And the biggest donor? - Khalid.
- Yeah.
And what do we do? We get on our knees and beg for a piece of his sovereign wealth fund! - Oh, come on, it's hardly the same! - Don't kid yourself, Guy.
Men like Khalid and their pet preachers, they prepare the soil and people die.
Now, you protected him, you shut down the truth, so don't come here lecturing me about responsibility.
Are we done? Wait.
Manning Point, it's being fast-tracked.
They told us the police investigation had been dropped, I assumed it had come from you.
- When's he due to sign? - In the next three hours.
- So when's he flying in? - He's already here.
Thank you.
Please just give me my wife back.
You have my word.
(DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS) (MAAZ BREATHES RAGGEDLY) (MAAZ GASPING) BARNES: How's it going? Yeah, all good so far.
How did he get these burns? Accident.
We have to call it off, now.
- No, we go on.
- How can we? Everything is prepared.
- Everything's prepared, what's that mean? - It means there's a plan B.
Your brother was also a doctor? Yes.
Until he was killed.
Do you know what happened to my brother? He telephoned the Madrassa and thought he could pick up his son and take him home.
No.
So you killed him? - I thought you told her to keep her mouth shut.
- I did! - He was a murtad.
- He was not godless.
He was helping people, strangers.
That was faith to him.
Anyway, your nephew knows everything about it.
Why? Go on, say.
I was there.
I saw it.
He's getting a secondary infection, he needs to go to the hospital now.
- Give him something for the pain.
- I did.
There's nothing more that I can do.
Sit.
There's nothing I can do.
Did you think we'd let you go? Hang on.
She did what you asked.
Shut up.
- Look, I have family - I also.
Sit.
Ma'am, we need to abort this op now before someone gets hurt.
No, we play it out.
We've got comms in the room and we've got undercover witnesses.
She's not a witness any more, though, is she? She's a hostage.
There's more at stake here.
We knew the risks when she went in.
They're not gonna let her leave.
She helped.
Brother, please.
What now? We wait.
About Dad He was going to collect me.
He was gonna take me home.
I had a bag packed.
It's what they agreed.
How was he at the end? You know Dad.
He was the bravest man alive.
Yeah, he was.
TV: They are now very close to a deal - Do you know him? - with entrepreneur Muammar Khalid, who is willing to provide, and I quote, "Key financial support for this giant energy project.
"' How? He came to the Madrassa.
Khalid came to Lahore? They said, "Don't go near him cos he's a VIP.
" A very special friend of Almasi.
- Are you getting this? - HART: Yes, ma'am.
We've got a credible witness statement on the link between Almasi and Khalid.
Bring him in.
Hart, you're in charge.
Hold fire till you hear details of that second cell, understood? (SIRENS WAILING) Can you step out of the car, please, sir? Not you.
Him.
Problem? Who the bloody hell are you? DCI Barnes.
Muammar Khalid, you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.
- If you'd like to walk this way.
- I want Kowalski.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
No, I don't care if he's in a meeting.
Do you understand me? Get him on the phone now.
(MONITOR BEEPS) - It's time.
- What's the target? No, please, I have a son.
- Mummy's fine, she's just at work.
- Promise? Why arrest Mr Khalid today, of all days, in the midst of a highly sensitive terror operation? - There's got to be something we can do.
- We can only hope and pray.
I'm not praying! It's an ugly world out there, pal.
Once Danish is home, these bad times will go away.
Danish is no innocent.
I look back.
I don't know how I got here.
