Red Election (2021) s01e10 Episode Script

Let me show you what your father did.
He blew up the Skanda pub.
Alaric Henderson's confession
is on my phone.
He said they had to talk
you off a bridge.
Why did she lie to me?
She was trying to protect you.
When you get out,
anything you want,
call me and it's yours.
You should see the footage I've got.
The Black
Sea in June.
Holiday of a lifetime, until
something went wrong.
- We don't have to lose.
- How?
Theoretically, the voting system
could be hacked.
Tell me that's another deep-fake
recording.
Is this a joke?
Made for women by men,
like the rest of the world.
What was your role in the Skanda
bombing?
I vowed to protect the union.
I think you've done it!
Transfer of power at midnight.
Give an unhappy woman some hope
and she is yours.
If what you did, you did for the
union,
it's done now,
so you can be honest with me.
We'll discuss this in the morning.
Dad? Dad? Dad! Dad!
London 06:00.
Our newly won independence offers
freedom
but with that freedom there comes a
challenge.
Are we brave enough to take on
the challenge of independence?
Do we have the courage
to write a new chapter
into the
history of this country.
Let's for a second draw
on our past.
Our contributions to science
alone have been immense.
Can you imagine
a world without Penicillin,
televisions,
phones?
Once again our voice can be heard
on the global stage.
A voice for justice,
fairness and compassion.
And for those of you already
condemning these ideas as unrealistic
I don't blame you.
Yesterday, it was unrealistic.
But today we can make our
long cherished dreams a reality.
Are you ready to make history?
Yes. Are you?
The Head of Operation will meet you
at the power station.
His name is Mitchell McGuigan.
I have to wear this?
Our GRU friends will affect
an electrostatic discharge
causing a microchip burnout.
The repair call to Rieper Hansen
will divert to you.
This is the machine
you need to get to.
First opportunity,
type in the security code you got
from Torben's laptop.
We insert the USB, type in the code,
three minutes to upload and get out.
Redback, 1,000 to one shot.
But here we are.
This close to victory.
Hey! Dad! Dad!
Hey!
Last night,
I spoke with the Heads of Security,
Legal and Tech
and we are of one mind.
The Scottish referendum was stolen.
We must take every measure necessary
to reunite ourkingdom.
Get your bots-blitzing social media
and all news agencies
with stories
discrediting this result.
Wait. That's not their job. We're not
Russia.
We soon will be if we don't react!
And tell the
Prime Minister I'll be there by nine. Go.
Our job is to stop Redback.
You think this isn't Redback? I'm having
trouble seeing a future for you here.
Mr. Ogilvy.
Thanks for this. Short notice.
Take a seat.
No, no. It won't take long.
I've instructed the heads of
Technical Operations and Analysis
to begin a full-scale investigation
into how a
swing of the magnitude
you suffered last night was achieved.
I'm sorry, you're You're saying
the system actually was hacked?
The final count was consistent
with the exit polls.
I need you to make a statement
challenging
the validity of the vote,
instigate a moratorium
while investigations are carried out.
Unless
you think the country should be scythed in
half on the basis of a couple of exit
polls.
By challenging the result of the
vote, we'd be risking civil unrest.
I warned you about Redback.
You didn't listen.
Yes, we think Russia
hacked the system
to rig the vote and then release the
tape to explain the result.
- All I'm asking is for two weeks
- Where's the proof?
What? Well, that's what we need the
investigation for.
You believe the system was hacked.
Come to me with proof,
I'll give you two weeks.
I'll give
you as long as you need.
So, someone in this building
has facilitated a coup d'état
and you're OK with that, are you?
How fucking dare you!
Special Branch examined the tape.
They said it was recorded by
a directional mic
200, 300 yards from here.
You knew what was at stake.
Why didn't you
just say the tape was fake?
Because it wouldn't have been the
truth.
Oh, the truth! The fucking truth!
There are things more important
than the truth.
I couldn't disagree more.
Your naivety disgusts me!
This meeting's over.
Prime Minister, I implore you, I beg
you,
go to the cameras,
declare the result void. Please!
I believe in democracy.
I work for the British
people. And, unlike you,
I was elected to carry
out their will.
The result must stand.
You two you don't even know
what you've done.
Still here? Good. Saves a phone call.
As you said,
you did warn us about Redback.
Set up a designated team
to counter the threat.
Then you allowed a Russian mole
to operate in the heart
of this designated team.
I've commissioned a judicial enquiry
into you and your department.
I thought you should know.
IDs, please.
Go ahead.
Thank you, sir.
What you do today,
changes Europe for ever.
Katrine?
I'm in pain.
There are a thousand ways to kill
pain. In one hour you can buy them all.
It's mine.
Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.
Good morning, sir. My name is
I know who you are. You're late.
Hello? Hello? Look, I need to use the loo.
Can you let me out? Can you let me out?
What's with the banging?
Miss Ogilvy needs
to use the facility.
The system your company installed is
barely two weeks old.
Our CEO has asked me to
pass on his apologies.
Our diagnostics have
detected a ergostatic surge.
It completely burnt out your CPU.
How long is this all gonna take?
It's gonna take 30 minutes. In and
out.
Nila, Tyler, Benny, Kita.
Hi.
Glitch will be fixed very soon.
Hands.
Move.
Gonna grab a donut. Anybody want
anything?
Staying strong here.
Benny Sørensen?
Benny?
Ah, that's nice.
You are talking about
Benny from Skagen?
No.
- Preben?
- Gunst.
What are you doing here,
Preben Gunst?
Mitchell said I should say hello.
Where are you from?
Where are you from, Benny?
Kopenhem.
"Kopenhem"? You don't sound
like you're from Copenhagen.
Where's Tyler?
He heard a doughnut calling him.
Nice to meet you.
Stop!
Are you done yet? Is that blood?
Oh, it's mine.
What happened?
You see, they took out the stitches
too soon. I told them this would happen.
Nila, could you show Kita the
bathroom? There's a first-aid kit in there.
Thanks.
All right?
Have you seen this?
Adam's asked me
to polish his resignation speech.
Do you think we should congratulate
Isla Robson?
I think the less
we say about Scotland, the better.
Scotland no longer exists.
A message from Sir David.
The 1922 Committee would
like you as caretaker PM.
He says it's
unanimous
and for some reason he's added '
a smiley emoji wearing a monocle.
A symbol of royal ascent.
I want Chief Adviser.
Sorry?
When you're installed as Prime
Minister, I'm your Chief Adviser.
We've lined up a seat for you.
Mm. In the Cotswolds. Fuck the
Cotswolds. I know what I'm worth.
Nicky
You set me up.
Digital voting?
Do you think I'm stupid?
Do you think I was shocked when
the tape surfaced?
Non-negotiable.
Gavril.
All is ready.
Get comfortable.
Wait for the panic.
Look at you. This is
a momentous day for us. Smile a bit.
I will. I'll smile when William
Ogilvy, he is dead.
You don't need to do that now, you
know?
Oh, I do. With what I know,
I mean, he's not going to let me
live.
I've got a slight itch here.
You might have to give it a scratch.
You see that? When I increase the
feedwater.
Mm, the temperature went up. Do it
again.
Oh, that shouldn't happen. Um
Show me.
It's already Show me. OK. Give it
two minutes. See if it settles down.
Oh, hi. You haven't seen my phone,
have you? I put it down in the kitchen.
You've been helping Adam with his
resignation speech.
Yeah. A line here and there.
Maybe I could help you with your
acceptance address.
I'm sure you'd wanna thank us for
rescuing you.
Of course.
You were ready to quit. The next Tory
leader in the gutter.
What happened to you?
You know what happened.
I watched the Foreign Secretary leave
for that flight.
A trip to the Black Sea.
God knows
who came back.
I had a breakdown.
Why are you going on..
Etta here
doesn't think I'm up to the top job.
Either your friend is the king of
abysmal advice
or he's been shafting you.
The referendum was my idea, Etta.
Yeah, and what I remember is this guy
bullying you to stick to it.
Bullying?
And then there was that
fake-the-results chat with your
little accomplice.
She only had that
conversation because you told her to.
Absolutely not.
And worst of all,
you advise Adam to conceal Holly's
DNA results until after the vote.
- I'm not going to.
- Zac, hold on.
Which also somehow manages to get
leaked,
which almost leads to Holly killing
herself, you little shit!
What?
The police found her on Westminster
Bridge.
Why didn't you tell me?
She didn't want you to know. She said
she wasn't going to do it.
Well, I'll give her a call.
I wouldn't. She doesn't want you
anywhere near her.
Hard to believe, isn't it?
When you're so
fucking wonderful.
Hello? Holly. Where are you?
I'm heading back to Scotland. Marcus,
I've done something stupid.
What have you What have you done?
Remember you told me you were
investigating Zac Clark?
Yeah.
Well, I kinda borrowed his phone.
- Tell me you're joking.
- It's OK.
I threw it in the Thames.
Marcus, they completely used me.
Fuck them.
Yes, we are aware. Yes. OK, will do.
Thank you. Bye.
350. You said if it got above
I know what I said.
That was the Head of Monitoring at Rosatom.
Apparently, we've got a problem. 350?
And rising.
These must be wrong.
We need to raise the control rods.
Shut down the reactor.
OK, if it gets above 400
What the hell?
Get that switched off.
Now!
It's almost three o'clock.
I canceled the speech.
You're challenging the result?
- No.
- Then why are you
I swore an oath of office. If they want to get
rid of me, they'll have to stage a contest.
That'll take months.
It'll take enough time for me to
persuade the membership
that Zac isn't the right person
to lead the country.
Me not trusting Zac isn't the same as
wanting you to stay on.
The country's at a crossroads.
Oh, for God's sake! Spare me the
speech. Why are you so incapable of change?
People don't change, Etta.
That's not true. I used to love you.
The control rods are not responding.
Try it again. Use the backup
generator!
Nothing, nothing is working!
Units 5 and 6 overheating.
Shit. I need to speak to the Minister for
Energy. So, get him out of the meeting!
Your father's back.
How could you do that? What were you
thinking?
If you do not have a belief that you
would die for, you do not deserve to live.
What's happened?
The Prime Minister Fuck! I thought
we'd hit the bottom with Johnson.
Look, why did you lock me up in here?
Huh? I'm asking you a question.
I needed some time to think.
So, now I can leave, can I?
Miss Robson,
your Head of Operations confirmed
that if the temperature on the
reactor continues to rise,
you're six hours from
meltdown.
I'm at the conference
in Scotland right now.
Our state atomic energy board har
authorized any assitance you require.
We have mobilized a team of science
advisors
trained for this precise eventuality.
I need your permission
How can you know what the problem is?
We had an identical situation with
the same Rieper Hansen reactor in Sorgut.
The EDF have offered help.
The EDF Do I have permission to
What did the Prime Minister say?
He refused to challenge
the vote.
He didn't want to allow time for an
investigation.
Last night you didn't answer my
question. The bomb.
Did I not?
No, you obfuscated. You danced round
it. You didn't answer me, did you?
Oh, well, yes, I gave the order.
Well, I insinuated it
I didn't think 11
God, no! But, yeah
Down to me.
And the attempts at assassination on
the Prime Minister?
How did they hack Etta
Cornwell's diary?
How did they get access to
those encrypted CPU calls?
Dad?
Well, that was an operation that was
always going to be a balls-up, wasn't it?
I just thought
it would give, urm, Cornwell a boost.
Do you know the Cold War
was won in this room?
Strategies devised at this table
brought down the Soviet Union.
And then the politicians came along
and allowed Russia
to crawl out of the corpse.
Russia!
Whose only intention is
to forge a new reality
in which everyone loses.
You have to make a statement to the
police and tell them what you just told me.
Yes, of course.
- Where are you going?
- I just need ten minutes.
Why?
I'm not gonna top myself if that's
what you're thinking.
I need to phone the DG. Let him
know that you want a prosecution.
Well, it's down to the CPS.
No, no. This is what you want.
It's
down to you.
At least do me the honor of
acknowledging that.
Make the call here.
Ten fucking minutes, Beatrice, for
God's sake.
News of a malfunction at the Gairloch
nuclear power station
in Scotland is coming
in.
Initial reports are saying the reactors
at the facility have lost the capability
of pumping
cooling water into the core.
If water levels
continue to drop,
there is a real danger of a
nuclear meltdown.
In an apparent snobb to the English
government.
First Minister, Isla
Robson,
has accepted the offer of help
from the Russian
State Atomic Energy Corporation.
What's the holdup?
Live from Inverness, we join Sabine
Mackenzie.
This is the seventh
There's a bear in our back yard. Have
you spoken to anyone?
Not yet.
Spetsnaz boots. Military issue.
Isla Robson's invited the Russians
to invade our country.
Redback's final metastasis.
The Russians are pumping in seawater
to cool the rods.
Mitchell McGuigan. You can go. Go.
Look, this is Scotland's problem.
No. Regnum Defende. The Defense of
the Realm as a whole.
Look, you were about to go to the
police and make a statement.
I'm not letting you
walk away from that.
Our country has never needed us more.
No!
Right, listen, this Skanda business
goes to court,
you spend the rest of your life
in prison.
I will?
You set up the attack.
Used a suicidal agent,
he survives, you hang it on Laird, he
gets away, you track him down,
shoot him, make it look
self-inflicted.
Jelena warned me not to use
Kelvin
because she said it's too easy to
manipulate people when they love you.
Isn't it?
We are paid by the Crown to counter
by any means necessary
those who would overthrow
parliamentary democracy.
The Realm was
under threat, we took appropriate action.
What you did, that was the threat.
All right? People would be horrified
to know what you did in their name.
The British public would stand up
and applaud.
Would they? Well, let's take this now
to the police.
All right? See what response you get!
Well, obviously, I can't let you do
that now, can I?
Because you know that you'll lose.
Because we're at war!
Oh, Dad.
Listen.
I need you with me.
I want you with me.
You and me, Beatrice. We are a team.
No, no.
If you don't have a belief
you'd die for, you don't deserve to live.
That's what you
said, isn't it?
I would die for the truth.
Made my decision for me.
No, no. Dad. Dad! No, Dad! No. Dad.
Dad! No. Dad!
Find Sergov.
Tell him to call me immediately.
Gavriil, a favor you owe me.
It's your address.
Female. Thirty-seven.
William
There are two guards. I don't want
them implicated.
I never want to know any details.
Call me when it's done.
You have that?
Yeah, I got it.
Let me out! Come on! Let me out of
here!
Gavril, Beatrice wasn't
a part of the plan.
I will do it,
but it is total shit.
I will call you.
William Ogilvy?
I'll help you get him.
We need to talk.
What about?
Dead men who won't lie down. William
Ogilvy and Adam Cornwell.
What is she doing here?
We'll take care of her.
Get a drink.
Wait for her father.
Why are you here? You've won anyway.
Won because you're insane.
We're insane?
You don't think causing a nuclear
meltdown is insane?
I thought you were supposed to be
smart. We faked it.
Who sent you to kill me? Was it my
father?
So, you are smart.
Hey! I want them both.
She pointed a gun at me.
Yeah, well but she actually shot me.
So, are we working for William now,
How much is he paying you?
Katrine!
Hey! If I wanted you dead, you would
have been dead.
Drop the blade. Look.
That's supposed
to make me trust you?
You got anything better?
Why did you kill him?
He played me.
Well
Yeah, imagine that. Trusting the
wrong man.
Where are you gonna go?
I don't know.
Are you beaten?
What?
Well, you've been betrayed and you've
been used.
I've been betrayed?
I'm asking you Are you beaten?
Of course I'm not beat. Ask him if
I'm beat.
OK. I know what we do.
Something's gone wrong.
I am honored. Scotland's first-ever
Prime Minister.
General.
Three-hundred men and women
have flown in to help you.
They will need
accommodation.
Three-hundred?
Miss Robson, we have 26-billion
rubles in Scottish banks.
England is intent on
destroying you.
Our investment must be
protected.
You need to close the border.
No. Absolutely not.
The sabotage of the nuclear plant
was an act of war
carried out by your oldest enemy.
If you don't close the border,
I will.
But it will look
better coming from you.
We were used. I didn't switch sides,
you did. I need to know why.
Well, sometimes one lie makes you
realize that everything you said was a lie.
What, and that's it?
In ten minutes we walk into the bear
cage.
If you're not 100 percent,
you're going to get me killed.
That cuts both ways.
You can't be thinking about what your
father did.
Don't worry about me. I'm going there
to do a job and then I put him away.
Madam Redback!
If I were to give military medals
you would want one.
Did you hear about the Ogilvy woman?
She wants to come home?
When your father orders your
execution, things change.
But, of course, that's That's
your decision.
I think I need to hear it from her.
OK.
She's here. She's talking to General
Groschev. Switch to video.
Oh, my brilliant girl.
- My friends, let's have a drink
- To us.
When powerful men set themselves
against truth,
they must be stopped, no matter who
they are.
