Hostages (2025) Movie Script
Sa.
I don't. Just don't know this.
Stop it.
Hello, world.
We want to tell you our truth.
Hi everyone. I just wanted to share
a quick quote. Something that we
should all remember when we're
facing the day to day slog. Mariah Carey
once said she just wanted
a day to go swimming, to eat
ice cream, to look at rainbows. We
should all look at a lot more rainbows.
Name?
Could you just cheque
that? I'm on mute. Thank you.
I've never needed a bathroom more. Move.
Can I speak with manager,
please? So sorry. I think he's
tied up at the moment.
Happy birthday.
We don't know if this is Neil. Come in,
Neil. Don't go that way. I don't
know if the people who did this
are inside the building.
Don't know what's going on.
Everyone's running down the stairs.
Hey, yo, tag me, man. What?
Tag me. Who the are you?
Please hold the door for me, Please,
Please. The do.
Straight down the fire stairs.
Guys, please, not in the lift. Come on.
Ouch. I use the fire exit. Not
the lift, the lift. Can you excuse
me? Is this the right way?
Okay, come on. Get in, get
in, get in. Really? Hey, hey,
hey. Ooh, this is smart. Mike.
Oh, my God. Sorry. Are you okay? I mean,
you gave her a little head. All that
brain damage. Okay, look, this is still
an emergency, so
let's go, let's go, let's go.
Is this a children's elevator?
Are you okay? Should we even be
in here? What are you down? We're
in a small children's lift. We're avoiding
crowds. Not a children's lift. By
the way, I don't know what this is.
Let me find out what.
Door. Okay, Let me. Yeah.
To the roof. Guys. The hell?
We should assume possible
suspect still in. The hotel or the area.
We know where the assembly points are.
Just to remind everyone to get
the guest away from the building
so that they're not
standing outside for a farrier.
Oh, this one. Let's go. Get in. Get on.
This is good. This is good.
Grab what you can before I get over here.
Oh, God. Help me out with this. Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
God.
Okay. Nobody can get in.
Yeah, and we can't get out.
Well, we couldn't even hit the
stairs. It's easy. They're saying bomb.
Everyone's saying bomb. Oh,
my God. We're safest here. No.
No idea. But look at this.
Could this building collapse?
I haven't seen the architectural
plans for the building.
Wow. Well, you know what?
Now's a good time for sarcasm.
I mean, I don't know if the building
could collapse. I. I know nothing about
the building. Terrorists. Oh,
no, don't say that word. It's Alexa.
No, it's not me, it's explosion.
Terrorists. Flood everyone running around,
arms in the air saying, terrorists.
Twitter. It's always one step ahead.
I thought it was called X. I'll call
the police. I didn't see any blood, but I.
Well, I'm just, like, watching it all
now in, like, real time. I don't know,
maybe you blocked it out.
Older people do do that. I'm 47.
Really? Car. The Arthur. Yeah, really.
It's not really cool, Dex. By the
way, please leave a message. And I'll
call you back. Mum, it's me, Charlie.
Can you give me a call when you
get this? I know you're really
busy, but it's important. Okay, bye.
Hello, you've reached Ted.
Please leave a message.
Dad, it's me, Charlie. Your only
daughter. How's things? Yeah, yeah,
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. That's great.
Anyway, listen, I've got something fucking
nuts to tell you. Call the office.
Never answer your phone. Dad,
what's the point of even
having one? Can you give me
a call back? It's important. Okay, bye.
Lots of us left the building.
Everyone thinks it's terror.
We don't know who's down there on
the ground, so we're just, like, biding our
time up here.
Call the office. This is a really good
example of focusing on what I can
control, which is being inside
this room, rather than what
I can't control, which is
terrorists outside this door.
Oh, Jesus.
Do you want to open a
window? Yeah, could you?
This. God, the noise on this.
We're receiving worrying reports from the
North Sea, where we're hearing a group of
British fishermen are stranded
aboard their ship off the coast of Norway.
Give it here. Just. Yeah, just
let me. What's the address of the
emergency? Yeah, it's the
London Bridge Hotel in London.
Hold. No, no, no, no, no, no. Hello? No,
I don't want to hold in an emergency.
God, this is what happens when you
live in a socialist country.
I'm not leaving another voicemail.
I'm not leaving you. I know, right?
Preserve your dignity.
Robbie, it's your sister. You're a twat.
Can you answer your phone? I need
to talk to someone.
You're not gonna fucking
believe what's happened
to me. Terror attack.
Call me. I don't need to borrow money. Bye.
Well, like, no, but I'm
covering It pretty well.
Taking a lot of those.
Rochelle. Oh, sorry. Yeah.
Charlie. Sorry. Nice to meet
you. Hey, you don't have to listen.
I'm sorry that you couldn't get a
hold of anyone. Oh, God, no, that's.
That's very normal for
me. Don't worry. I called
my wife earlier. She
didn't answer either. Auntie.
Sorry. Keith. Former journalist,
recovering alcoholic. 14 times I
called her. Wow. 14 times.
Too many times. Keith.
Hello, Sir. Are you in the hotel?
Yeah, we are. We're in a room.
Yes. Yeah, my name is Gareth and
I'm part of the team looking into the
incident at the London Bridge Hotel.
It's Gareth. Hi. Which room
are you in, sir? What floor
are we on, guys? Call it 8.
Room number? I don't know.
Okay. What's your name, please? Monday.
Keith Monday. How's it
going, Keith? We're working
hard to get you out of that
building as soon as possible.
How many people are in the room?
Four. Four people in the room.
Three. There's three of us. There's four
there. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Yeah. Ye. Whose room do you think this is?
Please, you have to keep
your voice down. What are you
all doing? We're in your room. Yes,
but. I'm sorry. And. But
please keep your voice down.
Reports of an explosion in
central London, apparently close to
the river. Multiple sources on social
media have posted about hearing loud
bangs in the London Bridge area.
We're getting reports along with
various images on social
media of people leaving us. Sorry.
Someone just walked in the
room. We must be in his room. Just.
Just. Just make sure he's calm
and quiet. Please be calm and
quiet. Really sorry. We're
in your bed. Must all be quiet.
That way nobody will know that
you're there. We must all be quiet.
That way nobody will know we're
here. Oh, my God. We can hear him.
Why you here? The
elevator broke and this door
was open, so we're hiding. There's been an
explosion of. An explosion of some
kind, possibly multiple explosions
in the central London area this evening.
What? It was, Keith. Am I
unspeakable? It's unclear at this
stage. At the moment,
we're assessing the situation.
Is it terror? This might not be an
isolated incident. It's important
that you don't let anyone know
that you're there. All
you've got to do is sit in the
middle of the room and be quiet.
Sit in the middle of the room and
be quiet. Don't contact anyone
until we get the situation
under control. It won't be
for long. Stay vigilant and
don't answer the door to
anyone. 1.
Charlie, you still there? Charlie?
Charlie, stop for a minute. Keith,
Listening. Full attention, mate.
Yeah, I need someone in there
who's alert and fully present,
Keith, Is that clear? No, no,
I. I get it. I get it. Okay.
Which. Which situation
contain really nice light on. My face
with a TV in that one. Look contained.
That's great. It is on the national news,
though. It is, yes. And
the only thing getting in the
way of us pulling you out of there
is anyone finding out that you're in
there. Remember, we're treating
this as an ongoing situation, Keith.
A live threat. Do not
give away your location.
Is that understood? Charlie. Charlie.
No. Facebook, Instagram,
tick tock, whatever. Don't do
it. Put it away. No one's
done that, have they, Keith?
Good.
Yep. All right. Because
I don't want my offices
in any more danger than they have to be.
Can I just ask, should we
leave the room? We ran and
hid, but should we leave
the room? Or is that if
nobody knows that you're
in. Stay where you are.
If you do what I've told
you, we'll get you out alive.
Can I just say,
don't want to die.
Just do what we say in central. London,
showing people there moving
quickly down the emergency stairs.
One person capturing these images as they
go down the escape route,
presumably hopefully walking
to safety. At the moment, we don't
have any official word from authorities
on what the explosion
was. Of course, in light of
the recent spate of terror attacks
by extremist groups around the globe,
police are taking this
threat very seriously.
From the top, then.
Haven't posted anything or
hardly posted anything. Which one is it?
Yeah, no more hardly
than happen. I'm helping people.
Oh. Oh, it's Shona.
Hello, It's Mommy.
I think that you can hear
me, but I can't hear you.
Hello? People are scared. They want to know
stuff. Call me back. But I won't
do it anymore. If that's what we all want.
I know you're helping
others and that's good of you,
but I just think. All I've
really done is insta storeys.
Twitter. Okay, some snap,
but snap disappears unless you screenshot
it. Does anything really
disappear? It disappears. Rochelle?
Nope.
Do you want to turn that off?
Not really, no. Is that everything?
Tick tock. Obviously, yeah.
I mean, it's not. It doesn't really matter
because I've only got a few thousand
followers, which is not
right because I have a
lot to offer. I know we're in
your room. Sorry, what's your
name? Himmat. I know we're
in your room. Him at
without permission, but do you
want to put some clothes on? I
don't know where my trousers are. Oh,
we threw them at the door.
What? We. They're at the
door. I'll get them. Yeah.
What do we think about
all that? Should I tell
Gareth? You're asking
the wrong person. I think
my daughter cell down the
toilet. She go on binges TikTok
days and days without
food and water. People think
that addiction to social media
is a joke, but it decreases
the functioning of the central
nervous system. Instagram decreases
the functioning of the central
nervous system. I've seen it.
Look, before we go slightly off
track here, should I tell Gareth
yes or no? All the police are on
the way, aren't they? Yeah, and I'm
not flashing my phone
down the carsy. No
one's asking you to
flush anything anywhere.
Wow. My followers have shot.
Shut up. Oh, yeah, you see?
I'm touching lives. Touching everyone.
We all heard that, right? I heard
Place. That quick. What?
What?
No, please. Hello?
We shouldn't have come here.
Got to be quiet. I can hear you in there.
Hey. Keep that door shut.
Open up. You have to keep your voice down,
yeah? Why? Okay.
Oh, why am I doing this? Oh, my God.
Stay out of the way.
Come on, Just.
Paul, come on.
It's the cleaner. It's not a cleaner,
it's security. You on your
own? Always. I'm frontline
security. First line of defence.
You're trained in counterterrorism?
God, no. Not training. Anything, actually,
no, just terrorism,
yeah. Oh, wow. That shot up 168.
That can't be right.
It's not a real Fitbit.
It's an explosion. That's all we know.
We're hiding in here. Do you want to
come in? Right.
It's like chaos out
there, like blood, dust,
really. Guns. Guns? Weren't there
guns? You didn't say anything about guns.
Guns as well, yeah.
There's talk of terrorism.
We don't know anything yet,
but we must keep this door shut.
We're under really strict.
Oh, God, I blame myself.
I would have checked their
bags. So this is on me. Once.
Some people just came in with machine guns.
I just waltzed in with machine
guns. In Tesco. Carrier bags.
Um.
Okay. I'm gonna close
this door. Okay, Listen,
close the door and stay safe,
yeah? Yeah. You haven't
seen us. We aren't here.
I don't know who you are. I don't
know who you Are. And please
keep your voice down, actually. Wow.
He's special. I'll get changed.
Great idea. Do that, do that.
Cool, cool, cool. Come on, dude.
Do you want to do that in the bathroom?
Sorry. You can't stand outside the
door, mate. That's the worst of both
worlds. I am heading out. Just
a bit cautious, that's all. But just
trying to work out which way to
go. Please come in. Why don't you?
I really want to. I do want to,
but I just. I feel like I
sort of need to protect
everyone. Maybe we
need, like, a special code
for when I come back. If I
come back, I will come back.
Like a knock, a secret knock. Just.
Do you know what I mean?
Should I do it one more time? Just so
you know what it is?
That was different. It can be
different, just as long as it's got the
right sort of energy.
There's, like, a vibe.
Do you think the point of
a. Secret knock, though,
is that only you and I know
exactly what it is and we do.
Because I've just. I've just done it
for you. Fine. I love the
knock. I'm closing the door.
Bloody hell. What? Please just
get changed in the bathroom.
Happy? No. Yeah.
Some of them were
physically okay as they left.
Again, no word on the
cause of the explosion,
what might be responsible.
Anything gonna pop this back up?
Yeah. Does anybody
know about these?
Now, I have people who do
machines. For me, so Knack
has yet to comment. They said
they're working with the police. You see,
when I do that, it goes
quiet. A live incident. Still no
official word on the cause of the explosion
and whether or not people are inside
or whether someone or a group
is responsible. What we can do
is go live to a place near the scene
to Cathy Wood, and I understand
Kathy, with someone who was inside
the hotel at the time of the explosion.
Thanks, Simon. Understandably,
there's a lot of fear
that this is linked to the recent
upsurge in extremist violence. But,
yes, I've got Reese with me who
was inside the hotel at the time.
Remember to keep that down.
Bumping into one another. We didn't know
what was happening, so we just ran.
Blossom, mate. Okay, I understand that
the underground. Oh,
my God. Oh. What is that?
Are you okay? I did not
say. It's on my back. It's on
my back. I can go blind.
Keith, what have you done? No,
what have you done? I mean, I
just. It's on my. Why did you do
that? I did. Oh, my God.
To help me get this off. Oh, My
God. What are you doing here?
I am very sensitive.
Smells. I get some angry.
Leave me alone.
I think it's acid. I can smell it.
You helped enough.
Why are you even in here?
You'll have to come out with
me. Do I? Yeah. In the bathroom.
Leave the bathroom. In the bathroom.
Come away. I promise.
Do the mic. Sit in the middle
of the room and be quiet. Fine.
Airon blue. One thing after
another in a terror attack.
I process any stimuli very deeply.
How are they okay?
Yeah. You're fine. I don't think
I got any answer to them.
No, no. That. And that's fine as well.
You need to keep connected, huh? I do.
I just. I feel kind of like
tempted to post another video
as I'm out.
I just. Because I feel like I should.
You know? I've got.
I've got 33,000 followers. Isn't that.
Addiction can creep up on you.
As alive and major incident
in that London Bridge
area. The police are still trying to
establish if anyone remains in the hotel.
You okay? Yes. I vote for a moment of calm.
Minibar. Let's keep that
gunpowder dry, shall we?
It's nice to see you in clothes,
Hitler. Reports are saying people
are in a hotel room. Yeah.
These clips, will they appear appear to
show people running down emergency
stairs. And they're reminiscent
of the kind of images you'd
see after an explosion or an
impact blast. What's unknown is
the cause of the explosion. But
there are many already fearing the
worst. If you've just joined
us, there's been an explosion in
a hotel building. Look, if this shit
hit the fan and terrorists tried to get
in, can we hide? Really?
Come on, let's stay upbeat.
Let's try something. I've got
an idea.
You can't just sit on the toilet
and expect not to be killed.
That's perfect. I can see you.
So can I. Yeah, I can see.
You in the mirror. Actually.
I'm uncomfortable. At least
now we know it doesn't work.
Okay, great.
That was my phone vibrating
against the side of the cupboard.
Yeah. Okay. Have you seen Under Siege with
Jean Claude Van Damme?
No. Always follow the pipe
because it leads to kitchens. All right.
It's pretty dusty. Yeah. Don't
let me eat anywhere near that.
It's blocked off. If you're gonna go
further. Could do.
Can you keep it down? Keith?
Go any further?
It's worth trying. Yeah.
Can we just stop this now?
What's the takeaway from
all this? What does that mean?
People say that kind of thing.
That's a really Good one. They'll
have to come and get us. Or we
leave or we die. Kathy.
Thanks, Simon. We've just
received word that the police
have stationed themselves not
far away and the fire brigade are
here ready for the word to move in.
There are people being cared
for close by and some ambulance
is stationed just around the corner on
Borough High Street. You're just looking,
right. Real sense of urgency around
here. Yeah, of course. With the emergency
service doing a wonderful
job. I just think, like,
people are weirded out
that I've just gone quiet,
you know, If I was out there, I
would definitely want to hear from
This gives you things that.
That, like, can't give you.
I've given people an idea of
what it's like in here. First person
and amongst all the terror and everything.
Giving them hope. Right,
well, just don't give them any
more hope. This is Frontline
reporting, Keith. You of all people
should know that. Oh, honestly, I
get it. You're a news reporter and this is
the Arab Spring. All right, there's no
need for that. There's so much of us
to keep a handle on, but what
we can see is people heading
down what appears to be a corridor.
And just to repeat for those
of us who've just joined us,
there has been a large explosion
in a hotel in central London.
Oh, wow. What's transpired is
that there's footage of a group
of people entering a room in
the hotel after the explosion.
Now, that's according to
social media. This presumably
coming before any warnings to stay
away or move clear of the hotel post
explosion. Oh, my God.
I shot that. Look, look, your face
is so big. I can see that.
Nobody's meant to know
we're here. We're lying low,
remember? Are still inside. We don't
know their identities, of course.
We don't know if they've been taken to
that room or whether or not they're
in hiding or if they're hostile of some
description. At this stage, we don't
know much more than that. All we
have is this glimpse of them
entering that room in this footage.
Fucking hell. Oh, ok. But they
don't know that we haven't left.
Oh, my God. They don't know if
we haven't left the hotel. Well, it can't
get much worse, can it?
And some breaking news now.
We've just been made aware
of an unnamed supposed terrorist
group who've claimed responsibility
for this incident. There's no
way at this stage of verifying
that claim or whether or not
they're in the Building. But we have
access to a video. This is it. It
finished streaming just moments
ago. There is audio to
this video, but because this
is a live investigation, we're just going
to show you the pictures. At the moment,
whatever this is, the. This can be
considered a serious development and
a reminder that the police
are treating this as a live threat.
This is. This is my fault. I posted
more than I said earlier. Just want
to say that now. Like, just come clean.
Yeah. I played it down and.
You played it down. I did.
I did. Who was that?
Wasn't me. I didn't
touch anything. What have
I done? What have I
done? What have I done? Is this
my fault? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh,
my God. Everyone else. Terrorists
can be a little disorganised.
Yeah. Okay, so everybody just need to
calm down. Exactly. Yeah. We don't
know anything. We don't know anything.
Exactly. It's probably
nothing. Just somebody saying
that they've done something. Something
that they haven't. It happens. Yeah.
Can I offer anyone
anything? Keith. Big man.
Yeah. Oh, no.
That'S not the time.
Maybe it is if this is it. No.
Okay. So my daughter was an addict. Yeah.
Yeah. And every now and again
she get the urge to. To reach for her
phone. I think I do want a
drink. Yes. And I'd say to her,
keith, he's an
alcoholic. Sorry, I. I didn't
know that. Okay. Keith. And
then I would tell her that the way
to conquer it, Keith, is this. You
wouldn't mind if I have a vodka.
Look at me. Look at me. Look
at me. Look at my eyes. Okay,
can we just breathe
together? Can we breathe
together? Yeah. Okay, here we
go. Right, breathe in. Arch your back.
Breathe out.
Lines up. Breathe in. Arch your back.
Breathe out. That is impressive.
Oh, my God. Christ. Or breathe
in. You could do this. Full body exercise.
Move. Let me show you. What's up, bro?
You okay? Keith. Keith.
Hemit. If you don't come
up, this is what happens.
I know this is a sensitive
time, but I just feel like
I should tell everyone because I don't
know if it's important, but I wouldn't want
to not say, could help
us. It's fine. Go ahead.
Rita Ora retweeted me.
She screen grabbed my
tweet and she retweeted it.
So my followers are like, can I
have your phone? No, you can't.
What's Rita aura gonna do?
Make a bloody song about it. Okay,
yeah, I did say, like, I wasn't sure
about mentioning it. And
if you want my opinion,
I do think you sound quite naive for
a journalist. We're meant to be laying
low. Yeah? Doing
nothing. There are terrorists
on the tv. No, no, no,
no. How many followers
does Rita aura have? You know
what? It doesn't even. It's not important.
I think I'll run a salt bath. You'll
do nothing of the sort. How many
followers?
Six million.
Six million? Yeah. Are you kidding me?
How does she have that
many followers? I know you're
not the first to ask that
question, but her songs are sexy.
Yeah. Having said that, if I were
you, I'd be going spare right now
because you are in charge. Uh,
excuse me. How is he in charge? Yeah.
Well, yeah, because he's a
man and 50 and he's white.
I don't think he's in charge of
anything. Mate, I'm 47. I've said that.
Basically, if there are terrorists in the
building and they like Rita
Ora, they'll know we're here.
Wow. Thanks, Emmett. She could be our ally.
Could. Could she? I don't think so.
Hello? Hi, it's me. Oh, thank God.
Someone's cut the TV
signal. Yeah, might be the hotel
laying low. I said,
are you laying low?
Very low. Yeah, very low.
Because the news headline is
that people are inside the hotel.
What? And the footage
came from social media.
Really? That's. That's. That's bad.
I mean, it's your face, Keith.
Google tells us it's your face entering
a hotel room. What? After everything we
talked about? No, I mean
we don't. We. We've been
non communicative. Very quiet as well.
Just sitting in the middle of the floor,
not doing enough. You should have told
me. I didn't know.
I did know. Obviously I knew. Yeah,
I'm sorry. I'll take the
hit on that. It's my fault.
We've seen the video of
the group that's claimed.
We all feel like we can't take
chances, so we're speeding
things up and taking a risk. What does
that mean? We're gonna come in, so please
be quiet and do what we've
told you. We can't legislate.
Do you think we should
leave? No, no, stay put.
I just said that. Keith. Keith.
Keith. Keith. Did you get that? Can I.
Keith? Keith? Keith,
are you there?
It's me, Charlie. Hi,
Charlie. Yeah, it's
not his fault. We're just
making sure you all know the situation.
We're moving in now. We should be with
you in 20 or so minutes.
Wow. Okay. If you take longer, don't panic.
We are trying. And we'll be 20 minutes,
they reckon. Oh, look,
if you're. If you're coming
to get us, can I, like, let people know?
Like, keep everyone updated? When you
say everyone, can I post about the rescue?
Well, what do you think? I think.
I just think if we could engage a
bit and just put something out there
so that people will know that. You
shouldn't even know you were in that hotel.
Hmm. I am.
I'm getting a lot of heat, that's all.
I'm looking now and there's
a woman at Dignitas who says
that she won't die unless she knows
that we're okay. Do you know Dignitas?
I'm aware of Dignitas, yes.
Rita always invited me to the
Brits. Congratulations.
How can I come to the Brit
Award? For fuck's sake,
Charlie. What are the Brit Awards?
Charlie? Yeah, so someone
else has organised a funeral fund
for me, just in case, which is,
like, really, like, really thoughtful,
actually. But they've mocked up my
face on Photoshop and they've put me in an
open casket and, like, I just. I wouldn't
mind letting them know that's not
quite what I. Switch off
your phone. Turn it
off. Ask yourself what's
more important in people's lives
or being popular on social media?
I can't guarantee your safety. If you keep
this up, Charlie, you're
putting lives at risk.
How was that?
Can we all just sit in the
middle of the room and be quiet?
Even if we just did it for five
minutes, I'd be happy. Yeah,
okay. Yeah, you're right. We haven't a
single thing we've been asked to so far.
Yeah. Sorry, Keith, this
must be pretty hard for you.
You did your best ushering us in here.
Probably the wrong decision in
hindsight, but. Easy mistake to make.
Rochelle and I, we went along with
it, didn't we? Oh, yeah, yeah, we took
a punt, didn't we, mate? You
know, you've had my. My stuff
to deal with and, like, you
know, the police. Well, I'm fine.
I just. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it.
Why don't you just come on,
join us in the middle of the room
and why don't we stum up? Yeah, thank you.
I just need put something on
that I think we're all really like.
Something peaceful. This
actually always works for me.
Dolphins. Oh, healing dolphins. Oh, sure.
I mean, but just for the sake of
my sanity, can you make sure that
volume.
So 20 minutes? Yeah, that's like.
Like straight away.
Imagine how long it would
take terrorists to get here.
Like, hours, ages, A very long
time. Yeah, it's like a
needle in a haystack for them.
Oh, my God. That's a great analogy. I love
Yeah. I mean, how many rooms are
there in the hotel? 522.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, what, are there, seven or
eight floors? Nine in this hotel,
I think. Oh, all right. 522 divided
by nine. That's 58 per
floor. All right, how long would it
take for each room? Like, I don't know,
a minute, 15 seconds of room. Not even
that. 10. Yeah, here we go. 10 times 58.
What's that? That's 580
seconds. But then they
also have to, like, move floors, so
that's. They'll be working in tandem. Yeah,
we'll be working alone.
Yeah. So 580 divided
by 60 seconds is 10 minutes.
Fucking hell. I thought
you'd say a lot longer than
Double it. Just to be safe.
Yeah, and to make us feel
Who's this? Whose is that? Oh, my God.
Oh, that takes me back to
my third husband. Great body,
big old dick, but too nasty in a sack.
You gotta drop a line somewhere.
You gonna answer that?
It's my workflow. I don't
want to. I don't know how
to change the ringtone. Yeah,
settings. Oh. What?
Answer it. It might be your wife.
Hello? What room are you in?
Who is this? I'm Keith.
This is Keith's phone.
I'm not going to repeat myself.
Keith.
Who are you? Tell me
where you are and we'll
let you live.
Hello? You still there?
Sorry, I'm listening. I'm
just genuinely thinking about
what you said.
We know you're in the bedwind.
Do you?
They know we're here. Who does?
Who knows where he is? I don't
know. I don't know. He just
said he'd let us live if I told him
where we are. Well, who is he?
Can we turn the dolphins
off? Sure. What would. Socially.
Everybody just. Where are the
police? Everyone just be calm.
You're the one that hung up
on them. I know. Why did you
even pick up? Yeah,
you told me to pick it up.
Right, that's it. I'm not hanging
about here anymore. Well,
I'm not going to be spoken to
like that, that's for sure. We have to
stand up to these pricks, don't we? Do we?
Do we? Listen. Listen to me.
How are we gonna play
this? Okay? Let's just
talk this through. Let's see what
these people are made of, okay?
Hello? You probably don't
remember me, but you just
called me. And can I
just first say that you don't
stand a cat in hell's chance
of finding us? This is a large
hotel and we've worked it out. They
won't be worth your while checking
the rooms. Not true, is
it? Take too long. Christ.
And I just want to say I don't
care who you are or what your cause is,
but you people make me.
You know what's funny? Oh, dear. Can I be
straight with you for a
moment? Yes. It's me.
I know this. Do you know
why? Who are you? Who is this?
Nigel. I'm in the garden
shed, hiding Nigel?
Yeah. So not a terrorist? No, it's me.
Oh, my God. I can't take
much more of this. It's Nigel.
Some old bastard I used to know.
What the fuck's the matter with you?
Sorry. I just saw your face on
the. Street News and I. I know
it's. Tricky at the moment with
everything going on, but if you
could just sign those divorce
papers, it'd be so helpful.
You've had them ages. Me and Michelle
are really happy. I'm not
signing the divorce papers.
It'll blow over.
We all know that's not true.
Wow, it's hot in here.
Oh. Goodbye, nigel. Thanks for calling.
Sorry, Keith. Yeah.
Sorry, Keith. Who is Nigel?
The bastard in the shed. He's my best mate.
Ex best mate.
Such a relief. Though.
Not. Not the stuff with your wife when
we thought he was a terrorist. Really?
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Have this.
Hey. No. Was that your
wife's lover? That's a terrible
idea. Take it. No, that's just dumb.
He needs a pick me up. Look at
him. He needs something to take the
edge off. He'll be okay.
Another. Oh, no, no, no, no. Come
on now. I did the wrong thing by
bringing us here. Yeah,
I did say. Ah. That felt
good. Tasted pretty bad, though.
Another one. Don't you dare him.
It. This man is broken. His best
friend is probably pounding his wife
right now. I don't think
alcohol's the answer. Is it not?
Of course not. This man needs to make
fundamental changes to his life.
He needs to change everything.
That's my TED Talk. Well.
I don't know what to do. You can
get me another drink. No, you don't.
Or I'll get one myself. There's no
need for that, Keith. You keep the.
Don't you dare. Stay where you
are. This bar's closed. Do I love it?
Give a shot. Stop it now.
Stop it. Knock it off. Knock it Off.
Please be responsible for my actions.
I need another drink.
Back off. I've written one.
I haven't delivered it yet.
Stop it. Stop it. Please don't do
this. No, no, no.
Calm down. Keith. Stop it.
Stop it. Stop. Charlie.
How are you? Sorry. It's
been a while. Guys. Mark it
up. I'm not seeing you for so long.
I'm just making sure you're okay.
Out of cupboards they come. I love her.
You're friends with her now. Are you really
doing guest vocals on her album?
Like you said. Do you want to stop?
Anyway. Call me. Call me. Call me.
I'm getting on the tube. Love to Rita.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye bye. Still going.
Oh my God. Are you farting? Sometimes.
Oh.
Oh my. To give in.
Okay. Get off.
Fucking hell. I hate everything. What's the
matter with me? I hate this hotel.
This room only popped in
for a specialty green tea.
Can I have a vodka?
Yes or no? No. Were fine.
You. God it's hot in here. Yeah.
Can't we just open the door for a
bit? Get some air in here.
We're not opening that door again.
I'm going to fix this thing
if it's the last thing I do.
Stay there. Give me that chair.
Stay there.
Stay. Oh, Careful.
Look at this. Must be awful
for them being in there.
Police should be honest with
them. There's a problem at the hotel.
That's why we haven't heard anything.
Oh my God. We're called. We called
the London Bridge Fort. We've got a
name. Yeah. The police should be here soon.
What's he doing in there? Hello.
Keep it down in here. What? I'm getting a
thing. Damn it.
Making a rope so we
can all abel down later.
Once I've done this. We
talk shop. We talk options.
Do we him out. Another vodka please.
No. Tell you what.
I'll give you one if you can
get that piece of shit working.
Doesn't it? Surely not.
Keith. Well done.
No one thought you were going to do that.
It might. You or me. I'm
dreaming. Don't give it to him.
Stay out of this.
A bet's a bet.
Wow. It's going to get cold in a second.
Right?
It doesn't get any better does
it? Tastes like a hot dog. How do
we make the hot air cold? Yeah.
It's really hot air. Keep really really
hot. That's really hot. That can't be
right there. Can't we just open the door
just for a minute? No. We should actually.
I'm fixing this thing. Don't go Overboard.
Do fix it. It. It's a nightmare.
My brace will is hell.
Hang on a second. I wouldn't.
I wouldn't be a good idea.
Break it. Be careful.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Hell, it's not pumping out
hot air now, is it? Oh, my God.
Christ.
That is going out of this.
Window. Why?
Out of the way. Oh, my God. We're killing
two birds with one
stone. I hate this AC unit.
And we can't open the window and
we need air and we're not going out
that way, so actually, that's three birds.
Keith, come on. Don't make
me wrestle you again. Listen to
yourself. Keith. This is a bad idea. And
you're being embarrassing. We can't go
through that door. It's too late for
that. We're going out that way and
we're going to use your
rope. Are we? Trust me,
please, this will work.
Come on. We all know.
We all know that. That's. That's. That's.
We're not going anywhere with that.
That's just some towels tied together.
It's a death wish. It's ridiculous.
It is, actually. We're leaving.
We're getting out of here. Are you
sure? It. It's a long way down.
I've only just had a proper look. Yeah,
I think you're gonna be
embarrassed about this in a bit. Yeah,
well, we can open the door and die.
Oh, my God. We are number
one. Trending on Twitter.
Or worldwide.
Or we can smash the window
and live. What do we do? Is that
really the choice? I don't
think that's the actual choice,
like, at all. Do we sit
here and wait like sitting
ducks? No. Oh, my God. Oh,
my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Keith.
Oh, my God. That looks so painful.
Keith. Oh, my God. You poor man.
He's not dead, is he?
No, he's not dead. He's like
concussed. Game.
Game. If you can hear me,
it's two blinks for yes and one blink for
no. Actually,
what I mean is two blinks
for no and one blink for yes.
No.
Okay, no worries.
Look at that.
Open the door.
What now? Maybe we
could use my rope to leave.
I could pop the window open
and we could climb down to
safety. How does it work?
What do you mean? Two of us hold the rope
while one of us climbs down.
What happens to the
person left in the room?
Damn it.
Have you thought about how the rope works?
That's that. Shit. Knock.
What now? Well,
we have to let him in. Why? He's so loud.
Okay.
Are you on your own? Yes, of course
I am. Yeah, it's him. Look at that.
I didn't know you filmed that. Oh,
I wish. I got it in slow motion. Hey, guys,
can you help me move this stuff, please?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I can't move the whole
table. I have a bad back.
May I take that? Thank you. Thank you.
Okay, that needs to
come in there. Yeah, it will
fit in there. Yeah, I know, guys. Yeah.
Lean on me in case I need to shut
the door. Quickly, put your weight
on me. Oh, should I go and
get the rope? Shut your rope.
Wow. Aggressive.
Oh, my God. What? What? What? What? What?
No.
Oh, my God. Why? Why, why? Why did
I do that? Oh, my God. There's
bits of fingers stuck in the do.
Get in here.
Come in. Dave, come and take a
seat. Come on. Come in here. No,
no, no. You need to go in
there. Don't listen to him. Charlie.
Charlie. Oh, my God. Charlie. Get
out there. Get your shit together. Oh,
my God. What's up now? You made
me sick.
Take your flannel.
What happened? Did you
get some terrorists? Hey,
let's get a towel. Where are
the. Where are all the clean
towels? He might use them
for his rope. I don't need a
fucking towel. I need an
orthopaedic surgeon. Okay.
Oh, geez. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
The TV's back up.
Sorry. Jeez.
My face. Any.
The cleanest one I
could find. Please. Gentle,
gentle, please.
You. I hate you. Sorry. All right,
breathe.
Okay, well, get your fingertips
from the door. Thank you.
We got some ice. No.
Don't. Don't you.
I need some ice.
Charlie, over here.
Fingers. Where? Kathy has
more. Kathy. Hi. This is a joint
statement from the police and
the London Fire Brigade.
I'll read it for you now. It says
the police and the London Fire
Brigade can confirm that the explosion
in the hotel earlier this evening was
a gas explosion. Explosion and the
result of a leaking gas pipe.
We will now prepare to make
sure everyone is accounted for and
provide care for those that are injured.
I don't believe it. Gas explosion. Yeah.
That's good news. Yeah.
We'll bring you more on
that in due course. But
generally speaking, a relief that
we're not now talking about. That's
it. That's it. We're safe on any more
information when we get it. In
fact, it sounds like the Met Police
have just released a further
statement on their social media.
Yes, we're just getting that on
screen for you now. There it is. From the
Met Police, who say, contrary
to reports on social media
currently, we can neither
confirm nor deny that
the explosion at a hotel in London
Bridge earlier this evening was the
result of a ghastly. However, at this
time, we are not. Does anyone have
my fingertips? As an act of
terrorism, we no longer consider
this incident to be a live threat. They go
on to say the area will stay locked
down until further notice while we
clear the hotel and do the necessary
work to get the hotel and surrounding area
safe and secure. So that's it then, is it?
So what appears to be an interesting.
Development, just like that, we're safe,
are we? I'd get them myself, but I
just. I don't know where they are,
that's all. What do you mean?
I'm just saying. I'm just saying I'd
really like to hear from Gareth at this
point. Yeah, because
this. Because this man here
said that he fought off terrorists.
Did he? Did I? Look at the
state of him. Yeah, no,
exactly. So, do you know what?
If this man says he's been a
hero and fought off terrorists
with his bare hands,
he's innocent until proven
guilty. Thank you. I just need. I
just think people deserve kindness
and the benefit of the doubt
until their lies are proved.
Okay, so I'm not wishing to
patronise, but I think that you've
mixed. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I've made my point. Don't
want to hear anything anymore.
Okay. Do you think my
fingers at the door maybe. Yeah,
majorly. So that you get them.
Did I? Did I? I feel. I don't think
that's the right job for me. Sorry,
I didn't. Just mean to give a really
good speech like that, off the
cuff. Sorry, I don't mean to rush you.
I just think if we don't get. Them
soon, they'll die. Yeah, okay, fine.
Fine, fine, fine. Thank you.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, God. Oh, hell.
Okay. Do you want me
to wash it? Yes, please.
Bridge 4, which appear to be
made up of those people that fled
to a hotel room at one point. We
weren't sure if those detailed their will
and if people are asking
about their thereabouts now.
Thank you. I'm here in the
kitchen. Tell where the explosion
actually took place. And with
me is Joe, a local plumber who
claims he knew immediately
that it was likely to be a gas leak.
Joe? Yeah. I'd known
for a while. I saw it on
the news and I came straight down
and talked to the fire brigade and asked
if I could show. So to clarify, in your
opinion. It's a gas leak. I
know it's. It was a gas leak.
Gasoline. Yeah, I was talking.
Seems to be the opinion
down here is that it's a damaged
gas pipe. Although I think
we can all agree it is terrifying.
Yes. But these biscuits
aren't garibald baldies.
Thanks to Kathy woods
there at the scene in the burnt
out remains of the hotel kitchen,
it does now appear that this
may have been an accident. An
explosion as a result of a faulty gas
pipe that in effect threw up
more questions than it's answered.
Hi. You're okay. I saw it.
Yeah, I'm okay. I mean. Well, one of us is
knocked out and somebody else
has lost a couple of fingers, but.
What? We're all gonna
be okay. I'm coming home.
I want to stay. So it's night
then. What? Looks like. Okay,
good. When are you getting
out? Well, the police said
that they're on their way. They have
been on their way for a really long
time. Socialism. This is what
happens when you go. To a socialist
country. Mom. I know, right? I
said that earlier. In the meantime,
joining me on the line, Alex Potter, a
friend of this programme and an expert
on extremism in Europe and the
Middle east and other global territories.
So it seems most experts are pointing
to this being a gas. That we haven't
had definitive confirmation
from the authorities yet. And until
we do, we should keep an
open mind. Evening, Alex.
Evening. Gas leaks.
Know anything about those?
I don't know. At the
moment we're still unsure
about exactly what happened, aren't
we? Why have the authorities still not far?
Brigade have told us it was a
gas leak. They did. But do we keep
an open mind? I don't think we do, no.
Shall we talk about the
gas explosion anyway?
I feel like gas leaks are not
really my area of expertise.
Spent considerable time in
northern Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe.
Tend to cover military
conflicts and extremism.
And studied Oxford.
Okay. Written four books.
Never heard of him. Don't know
anything about gas leaks. Exactly.
There you go. Yeah. Something's
not right. I just. You know,
I can. I can just feel it. It's not.
Oh God. Oh God.
Or has messaged me. Oh. Who's Aura?
Well, okay. Terrorists. What
do you know about them?
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just trying to sort these Brit tickets.
Let me guess. Rita's gone cold it.
Stop it.
Okay. What are
we doing? Opening the door
and walking out. No. No chance.
Who do we believe? I. I think
if. Why aren't the police
here? Where are they?
Yes. That's what I was
about to say. I'll do it.
Shall I? Shall I do what? I'll do it.
How do we know that this
is true? Like a hundred %.
Can't be 100%. You can't. Why
should we believe these people?
I wouldn't send Oxford uni bollocks
across the street for a fucking.
Sandwich. Oh. Oh, look at me. I've written
four books. You can shove
your books up your ass. Mate.
All four of. Them. Because each
one of us, any one of us could
walk out of that room right now
and be met with the
person who did that. What a.
Mess. Cheers. Oh, she's right.
This can't all be for nothing.
That man's lost fingers.
And I'll tell you what,
Charlie, I bet you're not
going to the Brits, no
matter how hard you beg Rita.
Ora. I wouldn't
beg Rita Ora for diddly shit
him. Up. Because being a hero of
a gas explosion isn't really a. Thing.
No, it's. Not.999. Which service do you.
Require? Police. Pushing
you. Through. Police.
What's the address of the emergency,
please? London Bridge Hotel. Can I speak
to. Hello, you in
the hotel? Gareth, it's Jessica.
I'm part of the post incident
team at the London Bridge Hotel.
I've just been talking. Post incident. No,
no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. I
need to speak to Gareth right now,
please. We are still in danger.
He needs to call. Me.
Okay? Look, we're going
to come and get. You.
Yeah? You're gonna come and get us.
We're not. Well, we're
not leaving. No. Chance.
Charlie. Are you out of your tiny mind?
What are you doing?
Why are you doing. This?
Why?
Why? The Met seem increasingly. Satisfied.
Look at the. Tv. Was caused
by a gas. Leak. Look at. This.
Open mind with regard to the root
cause of the. Leak. Not everyone
is convinced that this
is a gas explosion. Very.
Naive. We've heard it from the police,
right? We've heard it from the fire.
Brigade. Oh, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. I don't want to
hear it, Rochelle. I just
want facts, not waffle from the
emergency. Services. Obviously it's true.
They said that they're on
their way, and I believe them.
Did he really fight off terrorists?
No offence, David. None.
Taken. You should take. Offence.
Should. I? Yeah, you.
Should. Because. What?
Okay, why don't
you just leave? I think
that might be best. Don't you
just. Go. Why? What do you. Mean?
Well, if you think it's so safe out
there, why don't you just. Leave?
Well, because. I don't
know. We're safe here. They told us
to wait, and you said that the police
were on their way. So. Bridge area
this evening, as well as the
management and staff at the hotel
in question. What we do, what we
do know at present, is that there's still
no direct official word from the
hotel on whether the infamous London
Bridge 4 fit in the hotel or
if they've left the. Building.
Oh, look who's come
crawling back. That'll be Gareth
the. Charlatan. Hello.
Finally we hear from Goliath. Hello,
Goliath. It's. David. What's. That?
What? Not. You. You might not have
seen this, because I know you've
been quiet, but we know the explosion
was caused by a gas leak
now. So we'll come and get. You.
You'll all need a.
Cheque. We're not leaving.
Yeah, we're not
leaving. We're not going
anywhere. No, not leaving this room.
Not. Not. Not. Anything. Why would
you not leave the. Room?
Gareth? I'm standing
eye to eye with a man who's lost teeth and.
Fingers. Then he needs
to see a. Doctor. Yeah,
he definitely, definitely does.
Last I heard, extremists claim this. No,
you don't. Is that. Do you remember
that? Gareth? Maybe we should add that to
the. List. We said we were
sceptical about the claim. It was false.
It's terrible, but it's in their
interest to make claims
like that. Don't do this
to yourselves. You've all
been through it. Now.
We are not doing anything
without evidence. We're
doing nothing without.
Evidence. I'm a police
officer. You trust me with this
stuff. I've seen the.
Evidence. Let me. I want
to. Leave. Just be quiet for a. Second.
I want to. Leave. Please be quiet.
Gareth. Don't you dare
take that empathetic tone
with me. It will not work if you.
Make us force entry to that
room. You're wasting police.
Time. I'm a. Hostage. Storey.
Mate. There is still some. Uncertainty.
We're. Hostages. You're really.
Not. We. Are. Don't make us
come down there and break
in those guys. Don't about.
It will end badly for you.
Charlie. Threatening. Me?
Don't go from being a victim
to a. Criminal. Many people
are better than. That. Am. I.
Charlie?
Well? What did he. Say?
Listen, I'm going
to do a video telling
everyone what's. Happened.
But we know what's
going On. Charlie. Tell
them that we're not safe.
I think the general public deserve
to hear from people inside this room.
Not handy men with. Hunches.
Stop. Don't be ridiculous.
We are safe. It was a false alarm.
Everyone is being hysterical,
including them. You should be
happy you're alive. We survived.
We're lucky. You're lucky.
Yeah, not everyone is so.
Lucky. So. Yeah, have some.
Respect. We've received information
that looks like the explosion was
caused by mismanagement of the hotel
or rather than an organised. Attack.
Hello? Police are now looking
to locate. Them. Is anybody.
Listening?
Might have occurred.
And in London Bridge now.
The latest is that the Met police
have announced that there will be a
full investigation into tonight's.
Incident. Do you want to do a video or.
Not? Increasingly satisfied that the
explosion of the one. I guess. Gasly.
Of course. Not.
Just calm down. Just do leopard's
breath or whatever it is.
Can you just be. Quiet?
I'm going to see. You.
You're going to see me,
are. You? Huh? Yeah. Well, good luck
with that, mate. Just.
Just stay quiet. Please. Okay.
Do not like the. Music. I don't think
it. This. We'll just
stop it. Stop. It. Okay.
Better than the. Dolphins.
Okay, we're. On.
Oh, bloody. Hell. Just
like. That. Hello, world.
We feel the need to tell you our truth.
No longer will we be silenced. No one
important wants to be silenced. Mandela,
Gandhi, Assange and now us three.
Well, there's four. Four? Keith's
had a bit of an. Accident. There's.
Five. Really? Yeah. Keith threw the
aircon at the window and it
bounced back and hit him in the.
Face. Yeah. Okay, so there are
five of us in the room. One of
us doesn't want to be on camera.
And we understand.
That. So originally four,
then three, and then four
when you came, David.
And now it's just the three of. Us.
God. Almighty. It's not very prable,
is. It? Yes. Confusing. The
police asked us to remain in
this hotel room and we did, but no
more. We heard the rumours
that this was a gas leak,
but we think maybe someone in
the hotel would know something
about that. It doesn't add up,
my friends. The police
told us not to talk to anyone.
Yeah, but terrorists have told us
that they did this. This man
has fought terrorists himself.
What does that tell. Us?
Might have done? Okay,
so. So if I'm completely honest,
it wasn't well. Done.
You can stop clapping. You're
telling me that the police just go quiet?
And we're supposed to be okay
with that? We sit here in front of you
as hostages with my followers.
Going back up. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the support.
I mean, my God, the Internet.
Yeah. Or I will go on.
Good morning, Britain.
Thank you for the. Invitation.
I'll tell you what, I bet
Rita Orr is regretting giving those
Brit Award tickets back to those.
Kids and to
those people who say, aren't the
police on their way? How patronising.
They've been on their way for
over an hour and even if they do
come, we're not opening
the. Door. Well, let's. See.
We're not going to. Because
this man didn't fight off and kill
six armed. Terrorists. Six? Well,
yeah, to be talked down to by
the people covering up the real.
Storey. Okay, I didn't kill anyone.
Let's just get that on camera.
I've not killed anyone
and I wouldn't. Okay, but I
would throttle someone. Yeah,
just get them around the neck and not
let go until the last moment. And just
say, that's a warning to. You. You
need to stand up for what you believe
in. Stand up for what's right.
Sometimes you just know.
I followed my instinct on
this. Not some. Some plumber
with a big mouth.
Experts. No, no, you need balance.
A different opinion for balance, you
know, and I'm not blaming experts.
I'm not saying they're always wrong.
We all make mistakes, don't we? We do.
We've got flaws, haven't we. Boys?
Yeah. Yeah. We. Didn'T. Tolerant. Yeah.
Wow. A book offer. Wow. Yeah. Yeah,
I mean, I'll. I'll take it,
But no, you know, you
do have to just remember,
like, don't forget, I am just
a girl sitting in front of her
phone asking you to follow her.
In a world where you can do anything. Be.
You know, I think it is be. Anything.
In a world where you can do
anything, just believe what you
think is right, not what people tell
you. Look at the facts and ask.
Really? Facts? Whose facts are. They?
I fell down some stairs.
Didn't fight off any terrorists. I just
fell down some stairs. There
were concrete. It really hurts.
Then I ran back here. Scared.
Guys, we'll get a quick. Selfie.
We don't have any pictures of us at
the. Ark. And I'm actually the hotel.
Manager. Oh, my. God.
Seeing as he's. Confessing.
And if you don't, you
know, if you don't like
those facts, then just, you know,
you just think for a moment and
in the face of all those who
doubt, you just make your own truth.
Thank you. Thank you for. Watching.
My best mate's my. Wife.
I don't. Just don't know this.
Stop it.
Hello, world.
We want to tell you our truth.
Hi everyone. I just wanted to share
a quick quote. Something that we
should all remember when we're
facing the day to day slog. Mariah Carey
once said she just wanted
a day to go swimming, to eat
ice cream, to look at rainbows. We
should all look at a lot more rainbows.
Name?
Could you just cheque
that? I'm on mute. Thank you.
I've never needed a bathroom more. Move.
Can I speak with manager,
please? So sorry. I think he's
tied up at the moment.
Happy birthday.
We don't know if this is Neil. Come in,
Neil. Don't go that way. I don't
know if the people who did this
are inside the building.
Don't know what's going on.
Everyone's running down the stairs.
Hey, yo, tag me, man. What?
Tag me. Who the are you?
Please hold the door for me, Please,
Please. The do.
Straight down the fire stairs.
Guys, please, not in the lift. Come on.
Ouch. I use the fire exit. Not
the lift, the lift. Can you excuse
me? Is this the right way?
Okay, come on. Get in, get
in, get in. Really? Hey, hey,
hey. Ooh, this is smart. Mike.
Oh, my God. Sorry. Are you okay? I mean,
you gave her a little head. All that
brain damage. Okay, look, this is still
an emergency, so
let's go, let's go, let's go.
Is this a children's elevator?
Are you okay? Should we even be
in here? What are you down? We're
in a small children's lift. We're avoiding
crowds. Not a children's lift. By
the way, I don't know what this is.
Let me find out what.
Door. Okay, Let me. Yeah.
To the roof. Guys. The hell?
We should assume possible
suspect still in. The hotel or the area.
We know where the assembly points are.
Just to remind everyone to get
the guest away from the building
so that they're not
standing outside for a farrier.
Oh, this one. Let's go. Get in. Get on.
This is good. This is good.
Grab what you can before I get over here.
Oh, God. Help me out with this. Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
God.
Okay. Nobody can get in.
Yeah, and we can't get out.
Well, we couldn't even hit the
stairs. It's easy. They're saying bomb.
Everyone's saying bomb. Oh,
my God. We're safest here. No.
No idea. But look at this.
Could this building collapse?
I haven't seen the architectural
plans for the building.
Wow. Well, you know what?
Now's a good time for sarcasm.
I mean, I don't know if the building
could collapse. I. I know nothing about
the building. Terrorists. Oh,
no, don't say that word. It's Alexa.
No, it's not me, it's explosion.
Terrorists. Flood everyone running around,
arms in the air saying, terrorists.
Twitter. It's always one step ahead.
I thought it was called X. I'll call
the police. I didn't see any blood, but I.
Well, I'm just, like, watching it all
now in, like, real time. I don't know,
maybe you blocked it out.
Older people do do that. I'm 47.
Really? Car. The Arthur. Yeah, really.
It's not really cool, Dex. By the
way, please leave a message. And I'll
call you back. Mum, it's me, Charlie.
Can you give me a call when you
get this? I know you're really
busy, but it's important. Okay, bye.
Hello, you've reached Ted.
Please leave a message.
Dad, it's me, Charlie. Your only
daughter. How's things? Yeah, yeah,
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. That's great.
Anyway, listen, I've got something fucking
nuts to tell you. Call the office.
Never answer your phone. Dad,
what's the point of even
having one? Can you give me
a call back? It's important. Okay, bye.
Lots of us left the building.
Everyone thinks it's terror.
We don't know who's down there on
the ground, so we're just, like, biding our
time up here.
Call the office. This is a really good
example of focusing on what I can
control, which is being inside
this room, rather than what
I can't control, which is
terrorists outside this door.
Oh, Jesus.
Do you want to open a
window? Yeah, could you?
This. God, the noise on this.
We're receiving worrying reports from the
North Sea, where we're hearing a group of
British fishermen are stranded
aboard their ship off the coast of Norway.
Give it here. Just. Yeah, just
let me. What's the address of the
emergency? Yeah, it's the
London Bridge Hotel in London.
Hold. No, no, no, no, no, no. Hello? No,
I don't want to hold in an emergency.
God, this is what happens when you
live in a socialist country.
I'm not leaving another voicemail.
I'm not leaving you. I know, right?
Preserve your dignity.
Robbie, it's your sister. You're a twat.
Can you answer your phone? I need
to talk to someone.
You're not gonna fucking
believe what's happened
to me. Terror attack.
Call me. I don't need to borrow money. Bye.
Well, like, no, but I'm
covering It pretty well.
Taking a lot of those.
Rochelle. Oh, sorry. Yeah.
Charlie. Sorry. Nice to meet
you. Hey, you don't have to listen.
I'm sorry that you couldn't get a
hold of anyone. Oh, God, no, that's.
That's very normal for
me. Don't worry. I called
my wife earlier. She
didn't answer either. Auntie.
Sorry. Keith. Former journalist,
recovering alcoholic. 14 times I
called her. Wow. 14 times.
Too many times. Keith.
Hello, Sir. Are you in the hotel?
Yeah, we are. We're in a room.
Yes. Yeah, my name is Gareth and
I'm part of the team looking into the
incident at the London Bridge Hotel.
It's Gareth. Hi. Which room
are you in, sir? What floor
are we on, guys? Call it 8.
Room number? I don't know.
Okay. What's your name, please? Monday.
Keith Monday. How's it
going, Keith? We're working
hard to get you out of that
building as soon as possible.
How many people are in the room?
Four. Four people in the room.
Three. There's three of us. There's four
there. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Yeah. Ye. Whose room do you think this is?
Please, you have to keep
your voice down. What are you
all doing? We're in your room. Yes,
but. I'm sorry. And. But
please keep your voice down.
Reports of an explosion in
central London, apparently close to
the river. Multiple sources on social
media have posted about hearing loud
bangs in the London Bridge area.
We're getting reports along with
various images on social
media of people leaving us. Sorry.
Someone just walked in the
room. We must be in his room. Just.
Just. Just make sure he's calm
and quiet. Please be calm and
quiet. Really sorry. We're
in your bed. Must all be quiet.
That way nobody will know that
you're there. We must all be quiet.
That way nobody will know we're
here. Oh, my God. We can hear him.
Why you here? The
elevator broke and this door
was open, so we're hiding. There's been an
explosion of. An explosion of some
kind, possibly multiple explosions
in the central London area this evening.
What? It was, Keith. Am I
unspeakable? It's unclear at this
stage. At the moment,
we're assessing the situation.
Is it terror? This might not be an
isolated incident. It's important
that you don't let anyone know
that you're there. All
you've got to do is sit in the
middle of the room and be quiet.
Sit in the middle of the room and
be quiet. Don't contact anyone
until we get the situation
under control. It won't be
for long. Stay vigilant and
don't answer the door to
anyone. 1.
Charlie, you still there? Charlie?
Charlie, stop for a minute. Keith,
Listening. Full attention, mate.
Yeah, I need someone in there
who's alert and fully present,
Keith, Is that clear? No, no,
I. I get it. I get it. Okay.
Which. Which situation
contain really nice light on. My face
with a TV in that one. Look contained.
That's great. It is on the national news,
though. It is, yes. And
the only thing getting in the
way of us pulling you out of there
is anyone finding out that you're in
there. Remember, we're treating
this as an ongoing situation, Keith.
A live threat. Do not
give away your location.
Is that understood? Charlie. Charlie.
No. Facebook, Instagram,
tick tock, whatever. Don't do
it. Put it away. No one's
done that, have they, Keith?
Good.
Yep. All right. Because
I don't want my offices
in any more danger than they have to be.
Can I just ask, should we
leave the room? We ran and
hid, but should we leave
the room? Or is that if
nobody knows that you're
in. Stay where you are.
If you do what I've told
you, we'll get you out alive.
Can I just say,
don't want to die.
Just do what we say in central. London,
showing people there moving
quickly down the emergency stairs.
One person capturing these images as they
go down the escape route,
presumably hopefully walking
to safety. At the moment, we don't
have any official word from authorities
on what the explosion
was. Of course, in light of
the recent spate of terror attacks
by extremist groups around the globe,
police are taking this
threat very seriously.
From the top, then.
Haven't posted anything or
hardly posted anything. Which one is it?
Yeah, no more hardly
than happen. I'm helping people.
Oh. Oh, it's Shona.
Hello, It's Mommy.
I think that you can hear
me, but I can't hear you.
Hello? People are scared. They want to know
stuff. Call me back. But I won't
do it anymore. If that's what we all want.
I know you're helping
others and that's good of you,
but I just think. All I've
really done is insta storeys.
Twitter. Okay, some snap,
but snap disappears unless you screenshot
it. Does anything really
disappear? It disappears. Rochelle?
Nope.
Do you want to turn that off?
Not really, no. Is that everything?
Tick tock. Obviously, yeah.
I mean, it's not. It doesn't really matter
because I've only got a few thousand
followers, which is not
right because I have a
lot to offer. I know we're in
your room. Sorry, what's your
name? Himmat. I know we're
in your room. Him at
without permission, but do you
want to put some clothes on? I
don't know where my trousers are. Oh,
we threw them at the door.
What? We. They're at the
door. I'll get them. Yeah.
What do we think about
all that? Should I tell
Gareth? You're asking
the wrong person. I think
my daughter cell down the
toilet. She go on binges TikTok
days and days without
food and water. People think
that addiction to social media
is a joke, but it decreases
the functioning of the central
nervous system. Instagram decreases
the functioning of the central
nervous system. I've seen it.
Look, before we go slightly off
track here, should I tell Gareth
yes or no? All the police are on
the way, aren't they? Yeah, and I'm
not flashing my phone
down the carsy. No
one's asking you to
flush anything anywhere.
Wow. My followers have shot.
Shut up. Oh, yeah, you see?
I'm touching lives. Touching everyone.
We all heard that, right? I heard
Place. That quick. What?
What?
No, please. Hello?
We shouldn't have come here.
Got to be quiet. I can hear you in there.
Hey. Keep that door shut.
Open up. You have to keep your voice down,
yeah? Why? Okay.
Oh, why am I doing this? Oh, my God.
Stay out of the way.
Come on, Just.
Paul, come on.
It's the cleaner. It's not a cleaner,
it's security. You on your
own? Always. I'm frontline
security. First line of defence.
You're trained in counterterrorism?
God, no. Not training. Anything, actually,
no, just terrorism,
yeah. Oh, wow. That shot up 168.
That can't be right.
It's not a real Fitbit.
It's an explosion. That's all we know.
We're hiding in here. Do you want to
come in? Right.
It's like chaos out
there, like blood, dust,
really. Guns. Guns? Weren't there
guns? You didn't say anything about guns.
Guns as well, yeah.
There's talk of terrorism.
We don't know anything yet,
but we must keep this door shut.
We're under really strict.
Oh, God, I blame myself.
I would have checked their
bags. So this is on me. Once.
Some people just came in with machine guns.
I just waltzed in with machine
guns. In Tesco. Carrier bags.
Um.
Okay. I'm gonna close
this door. Okay, Listen,
close the door and stay safe,
yeah? Yeah. You haven't
seen us. We aren't here.
I don't know who you are. I don't
know who you Are. And please
keep your voice down, actually. Wow.
He's special. I'll get changed.
Great idea. Do that, do that.
Cool, cool, cool. Come on, dude.
Do you want to do that in the bathroom?
Sorry. You can't stand outside the
door, mate. That's the worst of both
worlds. I am heading out. Just
a bit cautious, that's all. But just
trying to work out which way to
go. Please come in. Why don't you?
I really want to. I do want to,
but I just. I feel like I
sort of need to protect
everyone. Maybe we
need, like, a special code
for when I come back. If I
come back, I will come back.
Like a knock, a secret knock. Just.
Do you know what I mean?
Should I do it one more time? Just so
you know what it is?
That was different. It can be
different, just as long as it's got the
right sort of energy.
There's, like, a vibe.
Do you think the point of
a. Secret knock, though,
is that only you and I know
exactly what it is and we do.
Because I've just. I've just done it
for you. Fine. I love the
knock. I'm closing the door.
Bloody hell. What? Please just
get changed in the bathroom.
Happy? No. Yeah.
Some of them were
physically okay as they left.
Again, no word on the
cause of the explosion,
what might be responsible.
Anything gonna pop this back up?
Yeah. Does anybody
know about these?
Now, I have people who do
machines. For me, so Knack
has yet to comment. They said
they're working with the police. You see,
when I do that, it goes
quiet. A live incident. Still no
official word on the cause of the explosion
and whether or not people are inside
or whether someone or a group
is responsible. What we can do
is go live to a place near the scene
to Cathy Wood, and I understand
Kathy, with someone who was inside
the hotel at the time of the explosion.
Thanks, Simon. Understandably,
there's a lot of fear
that this is linked to the recent
upsurge in extremist violence. But,
yes, I've got Reese with me who
was inside the hotel at the time.
Remember to keep that down.
Bumping into one another. We didn't know
what was happening, so we just ran.
Blossom, mate. Okay, I understand that
the underground. Oh,
my God. Oh. What is that?
Are you okay? I did not
say. It's on my back. It's on
my back. I can go blind.
Keith, what have you done? No,
what have you done? I mean, I
just. It's on my. Why did you do
that? I did. Oh, my God.
To help me get this off. Oh, My
God. What are you doing here?
I am very sensitive.
Smells. I get some angry.
Leave me alone.
I think it's acid. I can smell it.
You helped enough.
Why are you even in here?
You'll have to come out with
me. Do I? Yeah. In the bathroom.
Leave the bathroom. In the bathroom.
Come away. I promise.
Do the mic. Sit in the middle
of the room and be quiet. Fine.
Airon blue. One thing after
another in a terror attack.
I process any stimuli very deeply.
How are they okay?
Yeah. You're fine. I don't think
I got any answer to them.
No, no. That. And that's fine as well.
You need to keep connected, huh? I do.
I just. I feel kind of like
tempted to post another video
as I'm out.
I just. Because I feel like I should.
You know? I've got.
I've got 33,000 followers. Isn't that.
Addiction can creep up on you.
As alive and major incident
in that London Bridge
area. The police are still trying to
establish if anyone remains in the hotel.
You okay? Yes. I vote for a moment of calm.
Minibar. Let's keep that
gunpowder dry, shall we?
It's nice to see you in clothes,
Hitler. Reports are saying people
are in a hotel room. Yeah.
These clips, will they appear appear to
show people running down emergency
stairs. And they're reminiscent
of the kind of images you'd
see after an explosion or an
impact blast. What's unknown is
the cause of the explosion. But
there are many already fearing the
worst. If you've just joined
us, there's been an explosion in
a hotel building. Look, if this shit
hit the fan and terrorists tried to get
in, can we hide? Really?
Come on, let's stay upbeat.
Let's try something. I've got
an idea.
You can't just sit on the toilet
and expect not to be killed.
That's perfect. I can see you.
So can I. Yeah, I can see.
You in the mirror. Actually.
I'm uncomfortable. At least
now we know it doesn't work.
Okay, great.
That was my phone vibrating
against the side of the cupboard.
Yeah. Okay. Have you seen Under Siege with
Jean Claude Van Damme?
No. Always follow the pipe
because it leads to kitchens. All right.
It's pretty dusty. Yeah. Don't
let me eat anywhere near that.
It's blocked off. If you're gonna go
further. Could do.
Can you keep it down? Keith?
Go any further?
It's worth trying. Yeah.
Can we just stop this now?
What's the takeaway from
all this? What does that mean?
People say that kind of thing.
That's a really Good one. They'll
have to come and get us. Or we
leave or we die. Kathy.
Thanks, Simon. We've just
received word that the police
have stationed themselves not
far away and the fire brigade are
here ready for the word to move in.
There are people being cared
for close by and some ambulance
is stationed just around the corner on
Borough High Street. You're just looking,
right. Real sense of urgency around
here. Yeah, of course. With the emergency
service doing a wonderful
job. I just think, like,
people are weirded out
that I've just gone quiet,
you know, If I was out there, I
would definitely want to hear from
This gives you things that.
That, like, can't give you.
I've given people an idea of
what it's like in here. First person
and amongst all the terror and everything.
Giving them hope. Right,
well, just don't give them any
more hope. This is Frontline
reporting, Keith. You of all people
should know that. Oh, honestly, I
get it. You're a news reporter and this is
the Arab Spring. All right, there's no
need for that. There's so much of us
to keep a handle on, but what
we can see is people heading
down what appears to be a corridor.
And just to repeat for those
of us who've just joined us,
there has been a large explosion
in a hotel in central London.
Oh, wow. What's transpired is
that there's footage of a group
of people entering a room in
the hotel after the explosion.
Now, that's according to
social media. This presumably
coming before any warnings to stay
away or move clear of the hotel post
explosion. Oh, my God.
I shot that. Look, look, your face
is so big. I can see that.
Nobody's meant to know
we're here. We're lying low,
remember? Are still inside. We don't
know their identities, of course.
We don't know if they've been taken to
that room or whether or not they're
in hiding or if they're hostile of some
description. At this stage, we don't
know much more than that. All we
have is this glimpse of them
entering that room in this footage.
Fucking hell. Oh, ok. But they
don't know that we haven't left.
Oh, my God. They don't know if
we haven't left the hotel. Well, it can't
get much worse, can it?
And some breaking news now.
We've just been made aware
of an unnamed supposed terrorist
group who've claimed responsibility
for this incident. There's no
way at this stage of verifying
that claim or whether or not
they're in the Building. But we have
access to a video. This is it. It
finished streaming just moments
ago. There is audio to
this video, but because this
is a live investigation, we're just going
to show you the pictures. At the moment,
whatever this is, the. This can be
considered a serious development and
a reminder that the police
are treating this as a live threat.
This is. This is my fault. I posted
more than I said earlier. Just want
to say that now. Like, just come clean.
Yeah. I played it down and.
You played it down. I did.
I did. Who was that?
Wasn't me. I didn't
touch anything. What have
I done? What have I
done? What have I done? Is this
my fault? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh,
my God. Everyone else. Terrorists
can be a little disorganised.
Yeah. Okay, so everybody just need to
calm down. Exactly. Yeah. We don't
know anything. We don't know anything.
Exactly. It's probably
nothing. Just somebody saying
that they've done something. Something
that they haven't. It happens. Yeah.
Can I offer anyone
anything? Keith. Big man.
Yeah. Oh, no.
That'S not the time.
Maybe it is if this is it. No.
Okay. So my daughter was an addict. Yeah.
Yeah. And every now and again
she get the urge to. To reach for her
phone. I think I do want a
drink. Yes. And I'd say to her,
keith, he's an
alcoholic. Sorry, I. I didn't
know that. Okay. Keith. And
then I would tell her that the way
to conquer it, Keith, is this. You
wouldn't mind if I have a vodka.
Look at me. Look at me. Look
at me. Look at my eyes. Okay,
can we just breathe
together? Can we breathe
together? Yeah. Okay, here we
go. Right, breathe in. Arch your back.
Breathe out.
Lines up. Breathe in. Arch your back.
Breathe out. That is impressive.
Oh, my God. Christ. Or breathe
in. You could do this. Full body exercise.
Move. Let me show you. What's up, bro?
You okay? Keith. Keith.
Hemit. If you don't come
up, this is what happens.
I know this is a sensitive
time, but I just feel like
I should tell everyone because I don't
know if it's important, but I wouldn't want
to not say, could help
us. It's fine. Go ahead.
Rita Ora retweeted me.
She screen grabbed my
tweet and she retweeted it.
So my followers are like, can I
have your phone? No, you can't.
What's Rita aura gonna do?
Make a bloody song about it. Okay,
yeah, I did say, like, I wasn't sure
about mentioning it. And
if you want my opinion,
I do think you sound quite naive for
a journalist. We're meant to be laying
low. Yeah? Doing
nothing. There are terrorists
on the tv. No, no, no,
no. How many followers
does Rita aura have? You know
what? It doesn't even. It's not important.
I think I'll run a salt bath. You'll
do nothing of the sort. How many
followers?
Six million.
Six million? Yeah. Are you kidding me?
How does she have that
many followers? I know you're
not the first to ask that
question, but her songs are sexy.
Yeah. Having said that, if I were
you, I'd be going spare right now
because you are in charge. Uh,
excuse me. How is he in charge? Yeah.
Well, yeah, because he's a
man and 50 and he's white.
I don't think he's in charge of
anything. Mate, I'm 47. I've said that.
Basically, if there are terrorists in the
building and they like Rita
Ora, they'll know we're here.
Wow. Thanks, Emmett. She could be our ally.
Could. Could she? I don't think so.
Hello? Hi, it's me. Oh, thank God.
Someone's cut the TV
signal. Yeah, might be the hotel
laying low. I said,
are you laying low?
Very low. Yeah, very low.
Because the news headline is
that people are inside the hotel.
What? And the footage
came from social media.
Really? That's. That's. That's bad.
I mean, it's your face, Keith.
Google tells us it's your face entering
a hotel room. What? After everything we
talked about? No, I mean
we don't. We. We've been
non communicative. Very quiet as well.
Just sitting in the middle of the floor,
not doing enough. You should have told
me. I didn't know.
I did know. Obviously I knew. Yeah,
I'm sorry. I'll take the
hit on that. It's my fault.
We've seen the video of
the group that's claimed.
We all feel like we can't take
chances, so we're speeding
things up and taking a risk. What does
that mean? We're gonna come in, so please
be quiet and do what we've
told you. We can't legislate.
Do you think we should
leave? No, no, stay put.
I just said that. Keith. Keith.
Keith. Keith. Did you get that? Can I.
Keith? Keith? Keith,
are you there?
It's me, Charlie. Hi,
Charlie. Yeah, it's
not his fault. We're just
making sure you all know the situation.
We're moving in now. We should be with
you in 20 or so minutes.
Wow. Okay. If you take longer, don't panic.
We are trying. And we'll be 20 minutes,
they reckon. Oh, look,
if you're. If you're coming
to get us, can I, like, let people know?
Like, keep everyone updated? When you
say everyone, can I post about the rescue?
Well, what do you think? I think.
I just think if we could engage a
bit and just put something out there
so that people will know that. You
shouldn't even know you were in that hotel.
Hmm. I am.
I'm getting a lot of heat, that's all.
I'm looking now and there's
a woman at Dignitas who says
that she won't die unless she knows
that we're okay. Do you know Dignitas?
I'm aware of Dignitas, yes.
Rita always invited me to the
Brits. Congratulations.
How can I come to the Brit
Award? For fuck's sake,
Charlie. What are the Brit Awards?
Charlie? Yeah, so someone
else has organised a funeral fund
for me, just in case, which is,
like, really, like, really thoughtful,
actually. But they've mocked up my
face on Photoshop and they've put me in an
open casket and, like, I just. I wouldn't
mind letting them know that's not
quite what I. Switch off
your phone. Turn it
off. Ask yourself what's
more important in people's lives
or being popular on social media?
I can't guarantee your safety. If you keep
this up, Charlie, you're
putting lives at risk.
How was that?
Can we all just sit in the
middle of the room and be quiet?
Even if we just did it for five
minutes, I'd be happy. Yeah,
okay. Yeah, you're right. We haven't a
single thing we've been asked to so far.
Yeah. Sorry, Keith, this
must be pretty hard for you.
You did your best ushering us in here.
Probably the wrong decision in
hindsight, but. Easy mistake to make.
Rochelle and I, we went along with
it, didn't we? Oh, yeah, yeah, we took
a punt, didn't we, mate? You
know, you've had my. My stuff
to deal with and, like, you
know, the police. Well, I'm fine.
I just. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it.
Why don't you just come on,
join us in the middle of the room
and why don't we stum up? Yeah, thank you.
I just need put something on
that I think we're all really like.
Something peaceful. This
actually always works for me.
Dolphins. Oh, healing dolphins. Oh, sure.
I mean, but just for the sake of
my sanity, can you make sure that
volume.
So 20 minutes? Yeah, that's like.
Like straight away.
Imagine how long it would
take terrorists to get here.
Like, hours, ages, A very long
time. Yeah, it's like a
needle in a haystack for them.
Oh, my God. That's a great analogy. I love
Yeah. I mean, how many rooms are
there in the hotel? 522.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, what, are there, seven or
eight floors? Nine in this hotel,
I think. Oh, all right. 522 divided
by nine. That's 58 per
floor. All right, how long would it
take for each room? Like, I don't know,
a minute, 15 seconds of room. Not even
that. 10. Yeah, here we go. 10 times 58.
What's that? That's 580
seconds. But then they
also have to, like, move floors, so
that's. They'll be working in tandem. Yeah,
we'll be working alone.
Yeah. So 580 divided
by 60 seconds is 10 minutes.
Fucking hell. I thought
you'd say a lot longer than
Double it. Just to be safe.
Yeah, and to make us feel
Who's this? Whose is that? Oh, my God.
Oh, that takes me back to
my third husband. Great body,
big old dick, but too nasty in a sack.
You gotta drop a line somewhere.
You gonna answer that?
It's my workflow. I don't
want to. I don't know how
to change the ringtone. Yeah,
settings. Oh. What?
Answer it. It might be your wife.
Hello? What room are you in?
Who is this? I'm Keith.
This is Keith's phone.
I'm not going to repeat myself.
Keith.
Who are you? Tell me
where you are and we'll
let you live.
Hello? You still there?
Sorry, I'm listening. I'm
just genuinely thinking about
what you said.
We know you're in the bedwind.
Do you?
They know we're here. Who does?
Who knows where he is? I don't
know. I don't know. He just
said he'd let us live if I told him
where we are. Well, who is he?
Can we turn the dolphins
off? Sure. What would. Socially.
Everybody just. Where are the
police? Everyone just be calm.
You're the one that hung up
on them. I know. Why did you
even pick up? Yeah,
you told me to pick it up.
Right, that's it. I'm not hanging
about here anymore. Well,
I'm not going to be spoken to
like that, that's for sure. We have to
stand up to these pricks, don't we? Do we?
Do we? Listen. Listen to me.
How are we gonna play
this? Okay? Let's just
talk this through. Let's see what
these people are made of, okay?
Hello? You probably don't
remember me, but you just
called me. And can I
just first say that you don't
stand a cat in hell's chance
of finding us? This is a large
hotel and we've worked it out. They
won't be worth your while checking
the rooms. Not true, is
it? Take too long. Christ.
And I just want to say I don't
care who you are or what your cause is,
but you people make me.
You know what's funny? Oh, dear. Can I be
straight with you for a
moment? Yes. It's me.
I know this. Do you know
why? Who are you? Who is this?
Nigel. I'm in the garden
shed, hiding Nigel?
Yeah. So not a terrorist? No, it's me.
Oh, my God. I can't take
much more of this. It's Nigel.
Some old bastard I used to know.
What the fuck's the matter with you?
Sorry. I just saw your face on
the. Street News and I. I know
it's. Tricky at the moment with
everything going on, but if you
could just sign those divorce
papers, it'd be so helpful.
You've had them ages. Me and Michelle
are really happy. I'm not
signing the divorce papers.
It'll blow over.
We all know that's not true.
Wow, it's hot in here.
Oh. Goodbye, nigel. Thanks for calling.
Sorry, Keith. Yeah.
Sorry, Keith. Who is Nigel?
The bastard in the shed. He's my best mate.
Ex best mate.
Such a relief. Though.
Not. Not the stuff with your wife when
we thought he was a terrorist. Really?
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Have this.
Hey. No. Was that your
wife's lover? That's a terrible
idea. Take it. No, that's just dumb.
He needs a pick me up. Look at
him. He needs something to take the
edge off. He'll be okay.
Another. Oh, no, no, no, no. Come
on now. I did the wrong thing by
bringing us here. Yeah,
I did say. Ah. That felt
good. Tasted pretty bad, though.
Another one. Don't you dare him.
It. This man is broken. His best
friend is probably pounding his wife
right now. I don't think
alcohol's the answer. Is it not?
Of course not. This man needs to make
fundamental changes to his life.
He needs to change everything.
That's my TED Talk. Well.
I don't know what to do. You can
get me another drink. No, you don't.
Or I'll get one myself. There's no
need for that, Keith. You keep the.
Don't you dare. Stay where you
are. This bar's closed. Do I love it?
Give a shot. Stop it now.
Stop it. Knock it off. Knock it Off.
Please be responsible for my actions.
I need another drink.
Back off. I've written one.
I haven't delivered it yet.
Stop it. Stop it. Please don't do
this. No, no, no.
Calm down. Keith. Stop it.
Stop it. Stop. Charlie.
How are you? Sorry. It's
been a while. Guys. Mark it
up. I'm not seeing you for so long.
I'm just making sure you're okay.
Out of cupboards they come. I love her.
You're friends with her now. Are you really
doing guest vocals on her album?
Like you said. Do you want to stop?
Anyway. Call me. Call me. Call me.
I'm getting on the tube. Love to Rita.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye bye. Still going.
Oh my God. Are you farting? Sometimes.
Oh.
Oh my. To give in.
Okay. Get off.
Fucking hell. I hate everything. What's the
matter with me? I hate this hotel.
This room only popped in
for a specialty green tea.
Can I have a vodka?
Yes or no? No. Were fine.
You. God it's hot in here. Yeah.
Can't we just open the door for a
bit? Get some air in here.
We're not opening that door again.
I'm going to fix this thing
if it's the last thing I do.
Stay there. Give me that chair.
Stay there.
Stay. Oh, Careful.
Look at this. Must be awful
for them being in there.
Police should be honest with
them. There's a problem at the hotel.
That's why we haven't heard anything.
Oh my God. We're called. We called
the London Bridge Fort. We've got a
name. Yeah. The police should be here soon.
What's he doing in there? Hello.
Keep it down in here. What? I'm getting a
thing. Damn it.
Making a rope so we
can all abel down later.
Once I've done this. We
talk shop. We talk options.
Do we him out. Another vodka please.
No. Tell you what.
I'll give you one if you can
get that piece of shit working.
Doesn't it? Surely not.
Keith. Well done.
No one thought you were going to do that.
It might. You or me. I'm
dreaming. Don't give it to him.
Stay out of this.
A bet's a bet.
Wow. It's going to get cold in a second.
Right?
It doesn't get any better does
it? Tastes like a hot dog. How do
we make the hot air cold? Yeah.
It's really hot air. Keep really really
hot. That's really hot. That can't be
right there. Can't we just open the door
just for a minute? No. We should actually.
I'm fixing this thing. Don't go Overboard.
Do fix it. It. It's a nightmare.
My brace will is hell.
Hang on a second. I wouldn't.
I wouldn't be a good idea.
Break it. Be careful.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Hell, it's not pumping out
hot air now, is it? Oh, my God.
Christ.
That is going out of this.
Window. Why?
Out of the way. Oh, my God. We're killing
two birds with one
stone. I hate this AC unit.
And we can't open the window and
we need air and we're not going out
that way, so actually, that's three birds.
Keith, come on. Don't make
me wrestle you again. Listen to
yourself. Keith. This is a bad idea. And
you're being embarrassing. We can't go
through that door. It's too late for
that. We're going out that way and
we're going to use your
rope. Are we? Trust me,
please, this will work.
Come on. We all know.
We all know that. That's. That's. That's.
We're not going anywhere with that.
That's just some towels tied together.
It's a death wish. It's ridiculous.
It is, actually. We're leaving.
We're getting out of here. Are you
sure? It. It's a long way down.
I've only just had a proper look. Yeah,
I think you're gonna be
embarrassed about this in a bit. Yeah,
well, we can open the door and die.
Oh, my God. We are number
one. Trending on Twitter.
Or worldwide.
Or we can smash the window
and live. What do we do? Is that
really the choice? I don't
think that's the actual choice,
like, at all. Do we sit
here and wait like sitting
ducks? No. Oh, my God. Oh,
my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Keith.
Oh, my God. That looks so painful.
Keith. Oh, my God. You poor man.
He's not dead, is he?
No, he's not dead. He's like
concussed. Game.
Game. If you can hear me,
it's two blinks for yes and one blink for
no. Actually,
what I mean is two blinks
for no and one blink for yes.
No.
Okay, no worries.
Look at that.
Open the door.
What now? Maybe we
could use my rope to leave.
I could pop the window open
and we could climb down to
safety. How does it work?
What do you mean? Two of us hold the rope
while one of us climbs down.
What happens to the
person left in the room?
Damn it.
Have you thought about how the rope works?
That's that. Shit. Knock.
What now? Well,
we have to let him in. Why? He's so loud.
Okay.
Are you on your own? Yes, of course
I am. Yeah, it's him. Look at that.
I didn't know you filmed that. Oh,
I wish. I got it in slow motion. Hey, guys,
can you help me move this stuff, please?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I can't move the whole
table. I have a bad back.
May I take that? Thank you. Thank you.
Okay, that needs to
come in there. Yeah, it will
fit in there. Yeah, I know, guys. Yeah.
Lean on me in case I need to shut
the door. Quickly, put your weight
on me. Oh, should I go and
get the rope? Shut your rope.
Wow. Aggressive.
Oh, my God. What? What? What? What? What?
No.
Oh, my God. Why? Why, why? Why did
I do that? Oh, my God. There's
bits of fingers stuck in the do.
Get in here.
Come in. Dave, come and take a
seat. Come on. Come in here. No,
no, no. You need to go in
there. Don't listen to him. Charlie.
Charlie. Oh, my God. Charlie. Get
out there. Get your shit together. Oh,
my God. What's up now? You made
me sick.
Take your flannel.
What happened? Did you
get some terrorists? Hey,
let's get a towel. Where are
the. Where are all the clean
towels? He might use them
for his rope. I don't need a
fucking towel. I need an
orthopaedic surgeon. Okay.
Oh, geez. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
The TV's back up.
Sorry. Jeez.
My face. Any.
The cleanest one I
could find. Please. Gentle,
gentle, please.
You. I hate you. Sorry. All right,
breathe.
Okay, well, get your fingertips
from the door. Thank you.
We got some ice. No.
Don't. Don't you.
I need some ice.
Charlie, over here.
Fingers. Where? Kathy has
more. Kathy. Hi. This is a joint
statement from the police and
the London Fire Brigade.
I'll read it for you now. It says
the police and the London Fire
Brigade can confirm that the explosion
in the hotel earlier this evening was
a gas explosion. Explosion and the
result of a leaking gas pipe.
We will now prepare to make
sure everyone is accounted for and
provide care for those that are injured.
I don't believe it. Gas explosion. Yeah.
That's good news. Yeah.
We'll bring you more on
that in due course. But
generally speaking, a relief that
we're not now talking about. That's
it. That's it. We're safe on any more
information when we get it. In
fact, it sounds like the Met Police
have just released a further
statement on their social media.
Yes, we're just getting that on
screen for you now. There it is. From the
Met Police, who say, contrary
to reports on social media
currently, we can neither
confirm nor deny that
the explosion at a hotel in London
Bridge earlier this evening was the
result of a ghastly. However, at this
time, we are not. Does anyone have
my fingertips? As an act of
terrorism, we no longer consider
this incident to be a live threat. They go
on to say the area will stay locked
down until further notice while we
clear the hotel and do the necessary
work to get the hotel and surrounding area
safe and secure. So that's it then, is it?
So what appears to be an interesting.
Development, just like that, we're safe,
are we? I'd get them myself, but I
just. I don't know where they are,
that's all. What do you mean?
I'm just saying. I'm just saying I'd
really like to hear from Gareth at this
point. Yeah, because
this. Because this man here
said that he fought off terrorists.
Did he? Did I? Look at the
state of him. Yeah, no,
exactly. So, do you know what?
If this man says he's been a
hero and fought off terrorists
with his bare hands,
he's innocent until proven
guilty. Thank you. I just need. I
just think people deserve kindness
and the benefit of the doubt
until their lies are proved.
Okay, so I'm not wishing to
patronise, but I think that you've
mixed. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I've made my point. Don't
want to hear anything anymore.
Okay. Do you think my
fingers at the door maybe. Yeah,
majorly. So that you get them.
Did I? Did I? I feel. I don't think
that's the right job for me. Sorry,
I didn't. Just mean to give a really
good speech like that, off the
cuff. Sorry, I don't mean to rush you.
I just think if we don't get. Them
soon, they'll die. Yeah, okay, fine.
Fine, fine, fine. Thank you.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, God. Oh, hell.
Okay. Do you want me
to wash it? Yes, please.
Bridge 4, which appear to be
made up of those people that fled
to a hotel room at one point. We
weren't sure if those detailed their will
and if people are asking
about their thereabouts now.
Thank you. I'm here in the
kitchen. Tell where the explosion
actually took place. And with
me is Joe, a local plumber who
claims he knew immediately
that it was likely to be a gas leak.
Joe? Yeah. I'd known
for a while. I saw it on
the news and I came straight down
and talked to the fire brigade and asked
if I could show. So to clarify, in your
opinion. It's a gas leak. I
know it's. It was a gas leak.
Gasoline. Yeah, I was talking.
Seems to be the opinion
down here is that it's a damaged
gas pipe. Although I think
we can all agree it is terrifying.
Yes. But these biscuits
aren't garibald baldies.
Thanks to Kathy woods
there at the scene in the burnt
out remains of the hotel kitchen,
it does now appear that this
may have been an accident. An
explosion as a result of a faulty gas
pipe that in effect threw up
more questions than it's answered.
Hi. You're okay. I saw it.
Yeah, I'm okay. I mean. Well, one of us is
knocked out and somebody else
has lost a couple of fingers, but.
What? We're all gonna
be okay. I'm coming home.
I want to stay. So it's night
then. What? Looks like. Okay,
good. When are you getting
out? Well, the police said
that they're on their way. They have
been on their way for a really long
time. Socialism. This is what
happens when you go. To a socialist
country. Mom. I know, right? I
said that earlier. In the meantime,
joining me on the line, Alex Potter, a
friend of this programme and an expert
on extremism in Europe and the
Middle east and other global territories.
So it seems most experts are pointing
to this being a gas. That we haven't
had definitive confirmation
from the authorities yet. And until
we do, we should keep an
open mind. Evening, Alex.
Evening. Gas leaks.
Know anything about those?
I don't know. At the
moment we're still unsure
about exactly what happened, aren't
we? Why have the authorities still not far?
Brigade have told us it was a
gas leak. They did. But do we keep
an open mind? I don't think we do, no.
Shall we talk about the
gas explosion anyway?
I feel like gas leaks are not
really my area of expertise.
Spent considerable time in
northern Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe.
Tend to cover military
conflicts and extremism.
And studied Oxford.
Okay. Written four books.
Never heard of him. Don't know
anything about gas leaks. Exactly.
There you go. Yeah. Something's
not right. I just. You know,
I can. I can just feel it. It's not.
Oh God. Oh God.
Or has messaged me. Oh. Who's Aura?
Well, okay. Terrorists. What
do you know about them?
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just trying to sort these Brit tickets.
Let me guess. Rita's gone cold it.
Stop it.
Okay. What are
we doing? Opening the door
and walking out. No. No chance.
Who do we believe? I. I think
if. Why aren't the police
here? Where are they?
Yes. That's what I was
about to say. I'll do it.
Shall I? Shall I do what? I'll do it.
How do we know that this
is true? Like a hundred %.
Can't be 100%. You can't. Why
should we believe these people?
I wouldn't send Oxford uni bollocks
across the street for a fucking.
Sandwich. Oh. Oh, look at me. I've written
four books. You can shove
your books up your ass. Mate.
All four of. Them. Because each
one of us, any one of us could
walk out of that room right now
and be met with the
person who did that. What a.
Mess. Cheers. Oh, she's right.
This can't all be for nothing.
That man's lost fingers.
And I'll tell you what,
Charlie, I bet you're not
going to the Brits, no
matter how hard you beg Rita.
Ora. I wouldn't
beg Rita Ora for diddly shit
him. Up. Because being a hero of
a gas explosion isn't really a. Thing.
No, it's. Not.999. Which service do you.
Require? Police. Pushing
you. Through. Police.
What's the address of the emergency,
please? London Bridge Hotel. Can I speak
to. Hello, you in
the hotel? Gareth, it's Jessica.
I'm part of the post incident
team at the London Bridge Hotel.
I've just been talking. Post incident. No,
no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. I
need to speak to Gareth right now,
please. We are still in danger.
He needs to call. Me.
Okay? Look, we're going
to come and get. You.
Yeah? You're gonna come and get us.
We're not. Well, we're
not leaving. No. Chance.
Charlie. Are you out of your tiny mind?
What are you doing?
Why are you doing. This?
Why?
Why? The Met seem increasingly. Satisfied.
Look at the. Tv. Was caused
by a gas. Leak. Look at. This.
Open mind with regard to the root
cause of the. Leak. Not everyone
is convinced that this
is a gas explosion. Very.
Naive. We've heard it from the police,
right? We've heard it from the fire.
Brigade. Oh, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. I don't want to
hear it, Rochelle. I just
want facts, not waffle from the
emergency. Services. Obviously it's true.
They said that they're on
their way, and I believe them.
Did he really fight off terrorists?
No offence, David. None.
Taken. You should take. Offence.
Should. I? Yeah, you.
Should. Because. What?
Okay, why don't
you just leave? I think
that might be best. Don't you
just. Go. Why? What do you. Mean?
Well, if you think it's so safe out
there, why don't you just. Leave?
Well, because. I don't
know. We're safe here. They told us
to wait, and you said that the police
were on their way. So. Bridge area
this evening, as well as the
management and staff at the hotel
in question. What we do, what we
do know at present, is that there's still
no direct official word from the
hotel on whether the infamous London
Bridge 4 fit in the hotel or
if they've left the. Building.
Oh, look who's come
crawling back. That'll be Gareth
the. Charlatan. Hello.
Finally we hear from Goliath. Hello,
Goliath. It's. David. What's. That?
What? Not. You. You might not have
seen this, because I know you've
been quiet, but we know the explosion
was caused by a gas leak
now. So we'll come and get. You.
You'll all need a.
Cheque. We're not leaving.
Yeah, we're not
leaving. We're not going
anywhere. No, not leaving this room.
Not. Not. Not. Anything. Why would
you not leave the. Room?
Gareth? I'm standing
eye to eye with a man who's lost teeth and.
Fingers. Then he needs
to see a. Doctor. Yeah,
he definitely, definitely does.
Last I heard, extremists claim this. No,
you don't. Is that. Do you remember
that? Gareth? Maybe we should add that to
the. List. We said we were
sceptical about the claim. It was false.
It's terrible, but it's in their
interest to make claims
like that. Don't do this
to yourselves. You've all
been through it. Now.
We are not doing anything
without evidence. We're
doing nothing without.
Evidence. I'm a police
officer. You trust me with this
stuff. I've seen the.
Evidence. Let me. I want
to. Leave. Just be quiet for a. Second.
I want to. Leave. Please be quiet.
Gareth. Don't you dare
take that empathetic tone
with me. It will not work if you.
Make us force entry to that
room. You're wasting police.
Time. I'm a. Hostage. Storey.
Mate. There is still some. Uncertainty.
We're. Hostages. You're really.
Not. We. Are. Don't make us
come down there and break
in those guys. Don't about.
It will end badly for you.
Charlie. Threatening. Me?
Don't go from being a victim
to a. Criminal. Many people
are better than. That. Am. I.
Charlie?
Well? What did he. Say?
Listen, I'm going
to do a video telling
everyone what's. Happened.
But we know what's
going On. Charlie. Tell
them that we're not safe.
I think the general public deserve
to hear from people inside this room.
Not handy men with. Hunches.
Stop. Don't be ridiculous.
We are safe. It was a false alarm.
Everyone is being hysterical,
including them. You should be
happy you're alive. We survived.
We're lucky. You're lucky.
Yeah, not everyone is so.
Lucky. So. Yeah, have some.
Respect. We've received information
that looks like the explosion was
caused by mismanagement of the hotel
or rather than an organised. Attack.
Hello? Police are now looking
to locate. Them. Is anybody.
Listening?
Might have occurred.
And in London Bridge now.
The latest is that the Met police
have announced that there will be a
full investigation into tonight's.
Incident. Do you want to do a video or.
Not? Increasingly satisfied that the
explosion of the one. I guess. Gasly.
Of course. Not.
Just calm down. Just do leopard's
breath or whatever it is.
Can you just be. Quiet?
I'm going to see. You.
You're going to see me,
are. You? Huh? Yeah. Well, good luck
with that, mate. Just.
Just stay quiet. Please. Okay.
Do not like the. Music. I don't think
it. This. We'll just
stop it. Stop. It. Okay.
Better than the. Dolphins.
Okay, we're. On.
Oh, bloody. Hell. Just
like. That. Hello, world.
We feel the need to tell you our truth.
No longer will we be silenced. No one
important wants to be silenced. Mandela,
Gandhi, Assange and now us three.
Well, there's four. Four? Keith's
had a bit of an. Accident. There's.
Five. Really? Yeah. Keith threw the
aircon at the window and it
bounced back and hit him in the.
Face. Yeah. Okay, so there are
five of us in the room. One of
us doesn't want to be on camera.
And we understand.
That. So originally four,
then three, and then four
when you came, David.
And now it's just the three of. Us.
God. Almighty. It's not very prable,
is. It? Yes. Confusing. The
police asked us to remain in
this hotel room and we did, but no
more. We heard the rumours
that this was a gas leak,
but we think maybe someone in
the hotel would know something
about that. It doesn't add up,
my friends. The police
told us not to talk to anyone.
Yeah, but terrorists have told us
that they did this. This man
has fought terrorists himself.
What does that tell. Us?
Might have done? Okay,
so. So if I'm completely honest,
it wasn't well. Done.
You can stop clapping. You're
telling me that the police just go quiet?
And we're supposed to be okay
with that? We sit here in front of you
as hostages with my followers.
Going back up. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the support.
I mean, my God, the Internet.
Yeah. Or I will go on.
Good morning, Britain.
Thank you for the. Invitation.
I'll tell you what, I bet
Rita Orr is regretting giving those
Brit Award tickets back to those.
Kids and to
those people who say, aren't the
police on their way? How patronising.
They've been on their way for
over an hour and even if they do
come, we're not opening
the. Door. Well, let's. See.
We're not going to. Because
this man didn't fight off and kill
six armed. Terrorists. Six? Well,
yeah, to be talked down to by
the people covering up the real.
Storey. Okay, I didn't kill anyone.
Let's just get that on camera.
I've not killed anyone
and I wouldn't. Okay, but I
would throttle someone. Yeah,
just get them around the neck and not
let go until the last moment. And just
say, that's a warning to. You. You
need to stand up for what you believe
in. Stand up for what's right.
Sometimes you just know.
I followed my instinct on
this. Not some. Some plumber
with a big mouth.
Experts. No, no, you need balance.
A different opinion for balance, you
know, and I'm not blaming experts.
I'm not saying they're always wrong.
We all make mistakes, don't we? We do.
We've got flaws, haven't we. Boys?
Yeah. Yeah. We. Didn'T. Tolerant. Yeah.
Wow. A book offer. Wow. Yeah. Yeah,
I mean, I'll. I'll take it,
But no, you know, you
do have to just remember,
like, don't forget, I am just
a girl sitting in front of her
phone asking you to follow her.
In a world where you can do anything. Be.
You know, I think it is be. Anything.
In a world where you can do
anything, just believe what you
think is right, not what people tell
you. Look at the facts and ask.
Really? Facts? Whose facts are. They?
I fell down some stairs.
Didn't fight off any terrorists. I just
fell down some stairs. There
were concrete. It really hurts.
Then I ran back here. Scared.
Guys, we'll get a quick. Selfie.
We don't have any pictures of us at
the. Ark. And I'm actually the hotel.
Manager. Oh, my. God.
Seeing as he's. Confessing.
And if you don't, you
know, if you don't like
those facts, then just, you know,
you just think for a moment and
in the face of all those who
doubt, you just make your own truth.
Thank you. Thank you for. Watching.
My best mate's my. Wife.
