She's in command of the op.
Inspector Robins, this is Lana Washington.
- I don't think you two have - We are acting on intel.
There's a dangerous individual preparing a bomb factory in these flats.
The flat is leased to Andy Phelan, located on the fourth floor in the south building.
We need to move.
Stay behind us.
Right.
What a charmer.
Kit up? Just need my balls and the disruptor.
All right, get ready lads.
We ask you, for your own safety, to immediately vacate the premises and calmly make your way to the nearest exit.
My policemen will guide you to a safer area.
- Ta.

They're my lucky pair.
Come on.
Thank you.
- Good? - Okay.
Great.

Look.
Oh, my God.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Trojan One here.
- We have a woman and a child.
- Let me take that out.
- Needing medical attention.
- Oh, wow.
Don't worry, I'm just gonna take out No sign of Andy Phelan or any bomb factory.
Central Seven Four, received.
We'll send in an emergency support unit.
This is a funny little hiding spot.
Okay.
Are you okay? - Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah.
- Are you hurt? Yeah? - I'm all right.
Okay.
There we go.
What's your name? - Evie.
- Evie.
- That's a lovely name.
- Hey, Evie, I'm Joel, and this scary-looking thing is Lana.
But don't worry, we're the bomb squad.
- You're safe now.
- Where's Andy? They made me call the threat in.
They had a gun against her head.
- Who did? - Is my daddy okay? EXPO, bathroom, now.
Wait there, okay? There.
Oh, God.
You're okay.
We need to take tighter control of the situation on the ground.
Roger that.
We've had a first account from Angie Phelan, wife of Andy Phelan.
She says she was woken at 4:00 A.
M.
by masked intruders.
She thinks they used Andy's keys to get into the flat, because she heard the front door and thought it was him.
They told Evie and her that they'd be killed if they made any noise.
That's why they were quiet when your team entered the flat.
Did she ID the attackers? They kept their masks on.
She said they spoke a mixture of English and Arabic.
Arabic? Yeah.
She says she thinks they took Phelan's keys.
We need to know what access they give.
We had A1 intelligence of a bomb factory.
Andy Phelan's name was given.
We have to find him.
What's the hold-up, EXPO? You're gonna have to move the crowd back before we can go back in.
We're trying to maintain control of an increasingly hostile situation, directly caused by the delay.
- Yeah, I'm aware of that.
- From the looks of the IED, there's large amounts of HME.
We're gonna need a wider exclusion zone before we get started.
Command, this is Trojan One.
Look lively and get that crowd back even further.
Received, Trojan One.
Thanks.
We'll crack on.
Residents of Westhaven Estate, this is a police message.
We need your assistance.
We are evacuating this area due to a threat.
Take five, mate.
Looks like it could be a big one.
Sir.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Right.
Let's see.
Let's see what we can see.
Why have I chosen a job where I spend so much time on my knees? Because you're an idiot.
Okay.
Wash, we've got a pressure plate - Okay.
- Underneath this mat.
Let me mark it.
There we go.
Right.
We're gonna need to prep the pulleys, Wash.
Got it.
Thanks.
I can't see a bloody thing in here.
Here you are.
No, no, no, whoa, whoa! Wait, wait, wait.
- Freeze - What? Hold.
Hold, mate.
What? Oh, shit.
What, Nut? Uh, Wash, we've got a secondary trigger.
- Oh, fuck.
- And I think Yeah, it's rigged up to the light switch.
Oh, great.
- Hold on, hold on - No, just run.
- Just run, please.
- No, no.
The circuit isn't complete yet 'cause you haven't fully depressed it, so we've got a couple of seconds.
Nut, I'm not gonna kill us both, so please, will you just run? It's my mistake.
Well, you're gonna have to kill us both, mate, because I'm not going anywhere, all right? I'm not leaving you.
Fucking hell, Nut.
Don't move.
You can do it.
You can do it.
Don't move.
Don't move.
Another trigger, so there has to be another power source, down here somewhere.
Oh, fuck.
Found the split.
And the split goes Quick as you can, Nut.
Along this plate.
Don't move.
It's not moving, but it's - All right, mate, all right.
- My hands are shaking.
All right, hang on, hang on.
You got it? Okay, it goes into the cupboard.
Okay.
Slow, slow, slow.
Okay, okay.
Nut, will you talk to me? What can you see? Yeah, got it.
Got it, got it.
Where is it? Where is it? Where are you going? - Found the power source.
- Shit, I think it slipped.
- All right, you're all right.
- Fucking slipped.
You're all right.
Don't move your hand.
My hands are dripping wet, Nut.
Wash, can you get me your mirror? - What? - Get me your mirror.
I need your mirror.
I've got my hand on it.
Oh, my God.
Keep your hand still.
You can do it.
That's it.
Yes, yes.
Got it.
- What are we looking at here? - You got it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just looking for the Yeah, standard connection.
Fuck's sake! Uh, have you got my snips, mate? Yeah, mate.
They're just in there.
Okay, all right.
- Just be careful.
- All right, easy, easy.
I'm so sorry.
You're doing great.
No, it's gonna slip.
Okay.
All right, all right.
Okay.
Yeah, here we go, here we go.
Ready? Five, four, three, two.
Yes.
I've got control.
- Nut? - I've got control.
- Yeah? - Got control.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Oh.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- Do you know, I didn't think that would work.
You wanker.
I love you too, mate.
Just not to bits.
Now to give these people a SitRep.
Okay.
Can you tape up for me? Yeah.
- Tape it.
- Yeah.
Well done.
I am getting too old for this shit.
Oh, my God.
Central Seven Four, from EXPO One.
We found a secondary.
Please maintain radio silence till we clear the site.
Then we'll disrupt the main charge.
Central Seven Four, received.
That was ridiculous.
That was ridiculous.
All right? You seen that? What is it? What do you think that is? No idea.
We'll see what counter-terrorism make of it.
Come on, lazy bones, let's get some air before we neutralise the device.
Have some of that! Oi! Get back here! - Sort them out! - Run, run, run, run! Come back! Get Danny to get the pig stick.
I'll notify command that we're making it safe.
We still need to keep everyone well back.
Come on.
What are you like? They're my lucky pair.
Yeah, all right, all right.
Thank you.
This is a police message.
We are about to move the cordon to the east side of the estate.
Can you follow the instructions of the cordon officer closest to you.
This is for your safety.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Control, ready to fire.
All set, Lana.
Preparing control shock to the shock components.
Circuit's good.
Priming.
Stand by! Firing! What the Nut, you've gotta come and see this.
Fireworks.
Huh? What do you mean? The device's main charge has been filled with this black powder here.
From fireworks? Uh-huh.
It's a weak charge.
Take off a couple of fingers, maybe.
The fact that it's a non-lethal, low-explosive device, could be significant.
Okay.
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
After you.
Cheers, thanks.
Thanks.
You all right? Yeah, of course.
Just all that fuss for a low-threat device.
I know what you mean.
Listen, why don't you take five in the van and I'll sort out the handover to forensics? - Yeah, nice one.
- All right.
And don't eat my biscuits.
Well, I've counted this pack, so I know.
I know how many is in them.
Thank you.
Forensics are going through Phelan's flat and there's still no sign of his keys, so maybe Angie was right in thinking the intruders took them.
Why would they want his keys? Nutkins? Be ready to move in five.
We're just checking out the garage, then we'll convoy out.
Okay, thanks.
Oi, Wash! What is that? What is that, your Gitmo playlist? God, I'd break in two minutes.
All right, shut up.
We're moving out in five.
Tell Danny not to run anyone over.
No, I can't promise anything.
Mm, speaking of moving out, I think that me and Jaz have turned a corner.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
She's even looped me into some DIY.
Hear this, right? She takes me to some posh paint store and shows me this reddy-brown colour.
I think it's called Californian Sunset or some shit.
- Guess what I said? - Oh, you didn't.
I did.
I said, "It's interesting.
Last time I saw a room painted that colour was after a triple IED detonation in Helmand.
" How did that go down? How do you think? EXPO One, EXPO Two, this is Trojan One.
Get over here now.
We've got something.
Pete.
Thanks, mate.
We've just located Phelan's vehicle.
We're treating it as suspicious, as the stolen keys would've given the attackers access.
Looks clear.
Yep.
Yep.
Pass me your torch.
Shit.
This is EXPO One.
Gonna need that cordon moved back by at least 50 metres.
Blast zone is gonna be wide and we've got no idea which direction it's gonna roll out.
EXPO One, this is Central Seven Four.
Received.
I'll get uniform to push the cordon back by 100 metres.
Copy that, Control.
Move this cordon back immediately.
We both know the bombers could be right here, watching every move we make.
We've located Andy Phelan's vehicle.
EXPO think there's a possible IED, but, due to the presence of a secondary device in Phelan's flat, they're not taking any chances.
They're deploying the robot, so we need to maintain ground control until EXPO give us the all-clear.
Got that? - Yes, ma'am.
- Ma'am.
Please stay back.
Thank you for your patience.
Please stay back.
Do not try to return to your homes.
Trojan One to EXPO One.
We have the cordon pushed back to a safe distance.
Guys, you're in my light.
- Okay - Here, Danny, I've got this.
No.
Lana, I can do it.
Danny, take a break.
Go and get a cold drink.
Go on.
Go on.
Danny.
What's up, mate? It just feels like everything is going wrong today.
No, they don't mean to put you down.
Look, you'll be fine.
Just stick at it.
Oh, watch the I've got it, I've got it.
- All right? - Mm, yeah.
What's happening? Robot's not responding.
What? Only the camera's working.
EXPO One, this is Central Seven Four.
What's the SitRep? We're just having a little bit of trouble with the robot.
These things can be temperamental.
Received.
Lana? Lana! Oi! Oi, Wash! Wash, what you doing?! Oh, for What is she doing? Manual check.
Wires are unconnected.
Could be a false alarm, or someone's playing with us.
Copy that.
Help.
Help me.
Help me.
Help.
Guys, I'm gonna need you to take hard cover, please.
Hard cover now.
Help me, please.
EXPO Two, looks like a proxy device.
Repeat, proxy device.
This is Trojan One.
We have an unidentified male, possible suicide bomber.
- Help.
- Right, stand still! Stay still! Stay fucking still, right now! I'm bomb disposal.
I need you to stay still for me, okay? I'm gonna help you! Listen to me! Please stay still! - Help me, please.
- I'm gonna help you, but I need you to stay really, really still for me, please! EXPO Two, get back.
Trojan Five Four, do you have visual on subject? This is Trojan Five Four.
I have a clear shot.
Trojan One, received.
I need you to take off your hood really, really, really slowly and carefully, okay? Stay so still.
Remove the hood as slowly as you can.
Really, really slowly.
- All right.
- Slowly! - All right.
- Fucking slow! That's it.
Now drop it.
Shit.
They grabbed me.
They put me in the car.
- I am getting them out of there now.
- Hold on.
EXPO Two, can you get an ID? Saying he was kidnapped.
He looks like a victim.
EXPO Two, this is Central Seven Four repeating.
Can you get an ID? What's your name?! Andy.
Andy Phelan.
It's Phelan.
Trojan One, received.
Confirmation, we have Phelan.
Right, Andy, my name's Lana.
I'm gonna help you with the device, okay? - You're in safe hands.
- My wife.
I'm gonna help you.
- My daughter, my family.
- Yeah, they're fine, Andy.
They're fine.
EXPO Two, get back.
Gonna help you, okay? Stay fucking still, okay?! - All right.
- Stop moving your hands.
Can you see me? Look at me.
Can you see me? - I can't breathe.
- Yeah, you can.
You're breathing.
You're doing great.
Nut, I'm gonna deal with the device.
Wash, what are you doing? You don't need to do this.
Come on.
Nut, snipers, get back now! I've got this.
EXPO Two, stay where you are.
Trojan Five Four, have you got a clear shot? This is Trojan Five Four.
Shot is still clear.
I don't wanna die.
- I know.
- I don't wanna die.
You're not gonna die.
I'm gonna come close.
Stop moving your hands.
This is Trojan Five Four.
Shot's compromised.
Trojan One to Trojan Five Four.
Just keep him in your sight.
Right, we're both gonna walk away from this, but we need to work together, okay? Okay.
So I'm gonna examine the device.
What? You've done this before? Yeah, more times than you've had hot dinners, so just, not a muscle, eh? I'm gonna lift your arms up.
I can't breathe.
Just keep breathing.
That's all I need you to do.
Just keep breathing.
That's it.
Just so I can take a look.
There we go.
Okay.
You're doing great.
I'm just gonna bring your arms back down.
Don't shake, Andy.
Keep really still.
I need you to do me a favour.
Just stay fucking still, mate.
That's all I need you to do.
- Don't go! - I'm not going anywhere.
I just need to call summat in.
- Don't go! - I'm right here.
You can open your eyes and see.
I'm right here.
Yeah? Don't leave me.
Someone else is in control of the IED.
There's a mobile phone attached.
Shit.
Brown, take Green Team.
Check the walkways for spotters.
Received.
Carney, let's move.
Nut, spotters, now.
Copy.
Danny, go active on the ECM.
Yeah.
Hands! Show me your hands! Up, now.
All right, all right, all right.
Nut, he's losing it.
Bring the kit bag, now.
Quick! Stay there until we've finished our sweep.
Sorry, mate.
On my way.
ECM is active.
We're jamming.
Brown, any visuals? This is Trojan Three Six.
Negative here too.

He trusts me.

Nut, there must be a second phone, one to arm, one to trigger.
Phone's ringing, but the device isn't functioning.
I need eyes on a second trigger phone.
Andy, can you tell me if there's another device on you, please? - Talk to me! - Stay up.
Hey, stay up, stay up, stay up.
How are they bypassing our jammers? We need eyes on the caller before they trigger the second phone.
Nut, there must be another device.
Must be somewhere.

Well done.
All right, let's go for a walk, okay? This way.
This way, mate.
All right.
Well done, well done.
I'm all right.
You're all right.
You're all right.
All right.
All right? Yeah.
Medics, on me.
I need to run a trace on a number that tried to trigger the phones on Phelan's vest.
Yeah.
He's arrived now.
I'll brief him after I've had the first account from Phelan.
DI Thom Youngblood, SO15.
Sir.
DI Desai said on the phone an EXPO was involved.
Yup, she got that right.
You got a minute, talk about what you saw? Yeah, of course.
The device in the flat was non-lethal, but this one was well-built, professionally done.
I was able to separate the components, just.
Okay.
We looked into the numbers you found on the flat wall.
1912.
Didn't flag up any terrorist group.
Phelan's wife, she said the attackers were speaking Arabic.
You think it's Islamist? I don't know.
I'm glad you're okay, darling.
I'm a tough nut to crack.
Mm.
You are.
I mean, it was seconds away from that device functioning.
I'm pretty sure my luck is about to run out.
You was born lucky, Wash.
Come on.
Tell you what, mate, she's used up so many of her nine lives, she's started nicking mine.
DI Youngblood.
Damn, man, how you doing? In the flesh.
If I'd known a superstar like yourself was making an appearance, I'd have made more of an effort with my outfit.
You should have done.
You good? Well, my back's gone, wife's gone, kids aren't talking to me anymore, but apart from that, I'm fine, yeah.
All right.
I need to speak to DI Desai, see what we're dealing with here.
- Cheers, Thom.
- Yeah, see you in a bit.
"Cheers, Thom.
" - He's so dreamy.
- Oh, shut up.
You could've done worse.
Does he work out? Shut up.
Think he works out.
- Do you work out together? - You're annoying me now.
Shut up.
Have you It's me you're talking to.
- Come on, have you - I'm saying nothing.
You little He's a good guy, you know, for SO15.
Well, it's early days.
- He's a bit keen.
- Ah.
What were you on about with you and Jaz? I thought everything was going good.
You know what it's like.
It's two steps forward, one step back.
We'll be all right.
Come on.
I wanna be with them.
I do, I do, Wash, but it's just If it's a choice between the family or the job, well, then there's no choice, is there? You tell me.
Should I have a word with Danny? Nah.
Nah.
We've all been there.
Huh? Come on, mate.
I remember some of your first taskings.
- Ugh.
- You were like a rabbit in the headlights.
No, he's all right.
I'll speak to him tomorrow.
Grab the door, mate? Oh, we're just wrapping up here, so, as far as we're concerned, you can collapse the cordon.
We're just waiting on one last plate check.
But okay, we'll release the cordon.
Okay.
This is a police message.
The area is now secure and we are removing the cordon, so it is now safe for you to enter the area and return to your homes.
You know, I was thinking about that first device, right? You were really onto something.
Anyone who knows how to rig up a pressure plate and attach it to a secondary wouldn't use a low-explosive charge.
What, you think they messed up deliberately? I think it was a come on, to lure us in, make us evacuate the building, and give them a bigger target out here in the open.
How many times have we seen that exact same tactic in Afghanistan? Danny was jamming the entire time, and they still armed the suicide vest.
We are removing the cordon.
- What's going on? - It is now safe to enter the area and return to your homes.
Thank you for your co-operation.
This is a police message.
This the plate you're checking on? Give me a minute, will you? It is now safe for you to enter the area - and return to your homes.
- Thom.
Yeah.
We've got a trace on the phones that attempted to trigger Phelan's suicide vest.
Phones? Two unregistered burner phones in separate locations.
Shit.
Yeah.
It's an organized terror cell.
We're now just waiting on EXPO.
It is safe for you to enter the area and return to your homes.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Stay back from this van.
Keep everyone else back from this van.
Hey, Wash! Stay back, stay back.
Have you got my snips, mate?! - Wanna check out this van! - Yeah, coming! Guys, back up, back up.
Lana! You okay? You okay? Lana.
Lana, stay here! Stay here! Lana! Lana! Lana, we gotta move! Gotta move! Lana! Don't look! You okay?! Use your legs! Get up, girl! Get up! Come on! Keep moving! Keep moving, Lana! Keep moving!
