to test a nuclear device on the Kazakh border.
Now China is claiming that this was previously a nuclear testing site, but there is little doubt that this is Beijing drawing a line in the sand.
We await a response You want to speak to me? You have something to tell Fucking fuck! How long have I been asleep? Two days, straight through.
Can I have some food, please? Remember this? Philip? Jesus, don't call him Philip.
Why not? Pietre and Donaldson are out and Grant's in his own world.
We've been here for two days.
Why the hell are we doing nothing? - And what is it you wanna do? - Look.
He saw a news story and said, "Janus, you're all gonna die.
" It was USNC News, an American network, which means we can't get it online.
- So we need to break into their offices.
- What? We need to steal it and show it to Anton, then we go and talk to Dugdale.
Break in? What are you on? And fucking Dugdale's with them.
- I don't believe he is.
- And your judgment's so great.
- What does that mean? - Mm.
No, no, come on.
Let's have it out.
- You called Milner.
- Oh, here we go.
After everyone saying, "Don't call Milner, don't call Milner," you called Milner.
- It was a mistake.
- Was it? Was it, Ian? Are you that fucking stupid? Or are you actually quite fucking smart? Your insults are getting increasingly cryptic.
What the hell are you saying? Maybe you're doing stupid stuff cos you want it more dangerous.
Oh, for Christ's sake, Becky! - You're getting off on it.
- This is fucking psychobabble.
It's not IT any more, is it, Ian? Getting a buzz, are you? Nice little danger bone.
Gonna nip off for a little five-finger froufrou? And you're obsessed with wanking.
Well, let's face it, you're not into me any more, are you? No.
No, I am not.
Right.
Can I ask why? Ask your pal.
Donaldson.
Fuck's sake! Why's Anton drawing on my Utopia? It's time you knew something.
But you can't tell anyone this, Grant, all right? Anton is Philip Carvel.
Nah.
What, Anton? Mad Anton? Do you remember anything else about that story? Are you sure it wasn't it wasn't about the vaccine or V Day? Nah, it was just about a cat on a fucking Hoover.
Anton went nuts.
Right, I'm going.
Fuck this.
I can't just sit here.
China is the largest consumer of wheat in the world.
Its harvest is fading.
It's not just gonna roll over.
Yes, but it cannot be allowed to flaunt international law.
America's right.
It should be closed now it's a peak market These are nice.
- Did you use salt? - Er yeah, but just a pinch.
It's nice.
Tasty.
Do you do that while you're cooking them, or after? Er after.
Otherwise you you lose flavour.
Actually do you mind if we talk about you breaking in with a knife, and not my eggs? So you're in charge of the vaccine, Michael? Look, look, I I know how this looks.
But I thought all all this, er Janus stuff was over.
And Geoff said we had to keep making the vaccine.
You know, all the fuss last year.
He couldn't just stop Well, he well, he paid me! Money! Jessica, I am not with them.
Michael, don't worry.
If I thought you were with them, you'd be dead.
I know who Mr Rabbit is.
Mr Rabbit's dead.
Grant killed him.
Mr Rabbit's alive.
I won't tell you who.
I've put you in enough danger, and you've been really kind to me.
I'm sorry your wife left you.
And you must miss Alice.
Look, I'll stay a day or two.
I'm trying to find Ian.
Well, there was something between him and me, you know.
Oh, right.
Because I thought, er Becky Yeah.
I like Becky.
She's not for him, though.
Can I ask what we're doing here? Excuse me.
Why why am I here? Oh, nice.
Live feed.
Where is that? Greece? Albania? - Am I getting a new identity too? - Yeah.
Albania, I reckon.
No CCTV.
Cash-based culture.
Yeah.
Albania's where I'd go if I was retiring.
So, erm what the fuck's going on? Arby's saving his family.
Oh, I I didn't see you as a family man.
This is all about family.
Oh, here we go.
See? Tess and Amanda are safe.
- Hello? - Tess? It's me, Pietre.
Pietre, what's going on? These men, they they just took us.
Tess, please, you have to listen.
I need you both to look up to your right and into the camera, now.
Amanda, look over here, please.
That is the last time you can ever do that.
In the bag, there are new identities.
- But what I - You can never go home.
You can never use bank accounts or e-mail.
You can never contact anyone you once knew.
Go east.
After half a mile is a blue Toyota.
Drive to the location on the map, and start a new life.
Are are you coming too? No.
You will never see me again.
But Can you both look into the camera for one moment more, please? Thank you.
Throw the phone away.
Kept my side of the bargain, matey.
- Ciao for now.
- Hm? What about the rest? Things have changed, Arby.
I can't really tell you why, but we need them.
All of them.
Right now.
It's very, very important.
Where is Jessica Hyde? - Leah told me Philip Carvel's alive? - Yes.
After all these years.
I can't tell you how that feels.
It feels I have someone after him.
We're close.
He'll be with us soon.
And this adjustment, is it? He'll tell us what it is? Cos we're making it, Milner.
We're making the vaccine with Janus in it.
If there's anything wrong He put it inside Jessica, Wilson.
He would never harm her.
He loved her.
And you're willing to gamble everything on that love? Yes.
Yes, of course I am.
Don't you understand yet? I need you, Wilson.
You.
This whole thing comes down to the kind of people we are.
You, me, Philip.
What are you saying? I don't get this.
I don't get what you're trying To get the manuscript, we killed eight children.
We went into a school, shot them dead, and blamed it on Grant.
I made that choice, that plan.
What do you think of that? Why are you telling me this? There's someone I need you to meet.
Philip? Philip.
Please.
Look, we know you speak English, so bloody speak it now! Why did they put that number on his arm? The Network.
They they tattooed a number on his arm.
Why did they do that? Oh, my God.
Anton.
So, what, Anton's Jewish, then? Well, I don't know.
There were loads of people in the Holocaust.
He could be any one of them.
Hold your hands out.
Um Parbyndyn zayn rikht hant.
Yiddish?! - Ain't that a bit racist? - No.
Stupid.
OK.
Not that one.
Berühren sie die rechte Hand.
OK.
Ugh.
La mâna dreapta.
- Fucking hell.
You did it.
- Uh-huh.
It's Romanian.
He's speaking Romanian.
Right, stay here.
I'll be back soon.
What the hell are you doing here? What the hell are you doing here? This place is disgusting.
Put your food in the waste basket! We are not your servants.
We are human beings.
Sorry, sorry.
I I don't normally work here.
I just Dugdale? It's me! Ian.
What the fuck? Have you been running? You're out of breath.
Er yeah, I was.
Jessica, what are you doing? No, no, hang on.
Hang on.
Wait.
No, I'm not waiting.
I'm not fucking waiting at all.
Mm.
2050.
That's when fish stocks run out.
Do you fucking get that? - Course.
It's - 2080, end of gas.
2090, end of oil.
Those figures don't come from Greenpeace or Friends of the fucking Earth.
They come from BP.
If demand for fertiliser increases at current rates, phosphates end this century, and that means no food.
- I know.
You don't have to tell me.
- Do you? Because I don't think you do.
If you really knew, you'd understand that we have no choice.
You're just like Philip.
You can't let go of morality.
But what we must do puts us beyond morality.
What are we doing here? This is Paul.
What do you do, Paul? - I'm assistant manager at - Tell Wilson what you really do.
Paul is one of three people trained to do one very, very special thing.
It's OK.
Tell him everything.
If I am chosen, I will receive a call.
The moment I do, I shall walk out of my life.
I will go into hiding until just nine days before V Day, when I will go to a car park in Denham.
A car will be waiting.
It has been adapted to store a canister that will have been slowly coming down in temperature for nearly 90 days.
When I get there, what's inside the canister will be thawed, ready for release.
Do you know what's inside? Yeah.
Inside is an extremely deadly variant of Russian influenza.
I will take it to a crop-duster at Denham airfield, which I'll fly over a 35-square-mile area, releasing the virus onto those below.
I will repeat this at four other as-of-yet undisclosed locations all over the world.
Does it bother you that we're going to release a deadly virus? Well, we have a vaccine.
Many will die before it works.
You will have killed them.
But I will have saved everyone.
Are you worried about dying? Chances are you will be infected.
No, I'm not worried about dying at all.
I'm going to save the world.
You should see your face.
You're worried Becky'll find out? I won't tell.
Why are you here, Jessica? - Is Dugdale with them? - No.
He's just doing what he has to.
And I came looking for you.
Where did you get the scars? I, erm I should never have brought the manuscript to Milner.
Janus wasn't in Utopia.
It was in me.
I was the first person to get the vaccine.
My own dad did that to me.
Your dad? You mean Philip Carvel? So you've nothing to worry about, Ian.
I'm sterile.
Shall we do it again? What is wrong with you? Do you want some eggs? I'll make some eggs.
OK.
Car pick you up in five minutes.
How many will die? Typically, mortality in a flu virus comes in waves.
We hope the vaccine will kick in on the first wave and the virus will be eradicated.
First wave, 1,200, 1,500 people.
If it goes into the second wave, it will almost certainly be tens of thousands.
God.
Jesus Christ, Milner.
But think what we will have done, Wilson.
This can't be the only way.
We've been planning this for 30 years.
If there was another way, we'd know.
I've told you everything.
You need to tell me if you can live with this.
Can you live with this? Wilson, can you live with I need you to say it.
Yes.
I can live with this.
Where did you get this man? Fuck's it got to do with you? You're the translator.
Translate.
Grant.
He's our neighbour.
He's ill.
- Neighbour? Mm-hm.
Live next door to your nice unfinished hotel? Why not call 999? We'll give you £500 cash.
Pleased to meet you.
My name is Marius.
Let us begin.
O del si lasho.
That not Romanian.
That Romani.
Romani, language of the Roma people.
Gypsy people, yes? You racist bastards.
You think all Roma is from Romania.
Is not.
Roma many places.
Bulgaria, Poland, Spain.
Romani different language, like Welsh to English.
Do you speak fucking Welsh? - Yeah, I do, actually.
- Doesn't matter.
- But - You still racist.
he was speaking Romanian.
Vorbesti Romaneste? Da, eu vorbesc limba Româna.
This Roma is from Romania.
Coincidence.
You still racist.
What's going on? Becky found a way to speak to Anton, through twat-face.
Is twat-face me? Ian was here.
What? Here? What what did he want? Who knows what that boy wants? Are you OK, Jessica? It's Milner.
Milner's Mr Rabbit.
I'm sorry.
I can't bear everything on my own.
I need someone to trust.
You OK? You seem odd.
I'm not odd.
Odd? No, I'm fine.
Why? Well, you you haven't busted my nuts about bringing Marius here, for a start.
Look, are we gonna do this? This man is a survivor? Yes, he is.
Ask him about it.
- De unde ai luat asta? - Am fost in Belzec.
Fuck.
Belzec concentration camp.
Very bad for Roma people, very bad.
Familia mea, mama, fratii, verii - toti omorati.
Mother, father, brothers, cousins - whole family, all killed.
Jesus Christ.
He always hear the hissing - La sfârsitul razboiului gas released.
End of war, he break incinerator.
Sabotage, yes? So, they take out the bodies, dump the bodies in the wood.
He hide in bodies.
Two days.
He five years old.
Am crescut, am vrut sa imi folosesc mintea pentru face ca asa Grow up want use mind, make never happen again.
Jesus, who is this guy? Just carry on.
But then he meet Mr Rabbit? Is that right, Mr Rabbit? - He say she was incredible.
- She? - Mr Rabbit was a man.
- No.
He was feminine.
They work together, make a thing that solve all world's problems? Is it Janus? You made Janus? And does Janus work, Anton? Yes, it will work perfectly.
Fuck.
He speaks English? But not in the way she thinks.
She said we couldn't choose.
I made an adjustment.
I I wanted to help evolution, you see.
I chose.
You mean a race? You chose a race? I did.
Oh, God, I did.
And which race did you choose? You show him cat dressed like shark? Panj familii! - What the fuck? - Panj familii! - What does that mean, "panj familii"? - I don't know.
Familii means "families".
Panj is Romani, it means "five".
Five families.
- And what does "five families" mean? - Why the fuck you ask me? - Look, that's where he freaked.
- Yeah? Look at the bottom.
Man kills his family - Hartwell, Georgia.
Hang on.
There was a story like that here as well.
A man killed his family out of the blue.
Five families.
So there's three more? OK, you guys are fucking freaking me out.
- What the fuck is going on? - Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
Philip is with Ian.
This is how we're going to get him.
The guards here are MI5, by the way.
They know nothing about us.
Hello, Roy.
My name is Milner.
Where's your brother? Where's Ian? I don't know.
I've no idea.
- Are you sure, Roy? - Yes.
Why am I here? I'm in handcuffs.
They put a hood on me.
Did Ian say anything about me, Roy? For example, did he say to you, "Milner is Mr Rabbit"? - What are you doing? - No.
No, he never said that.
Are you sure? He never used the phrase, "Milner is Mr Rabbit"? No.
Who's who's Mr Rabbit? Keep questioning, but in one hour set him free.
Send him home.
Why did you do that? - You told him that you were Mr - We need Philip.
He's with Ian.
Roy has no idea where his brother is.
But when Ian discovers that we've killed Roy Well, he has a mother.
Killed? No, wait.
Just hang on a minute! In a few days, I'm going to call either Paul or one of the other two.
I'll give a command, a command that only I know, and in about 90 days that person will release the most deadly flu this world has ever seen.
Everyone will take the vaccine.
Everyone will willingly take Janus.
It'll be chaos, it will, but in less than 100 years there'll be no more than 500 million people on this planet.
We will have created Utopia.
But if those three men walk out of that room knowing who I am then in all probability, all of that disappears.
Hey.
No, look, Milner.
Can Can we just talk about this a minute? Cos I I can't I need you, Wilson.
I need someone.
I wish I could leave you as that beautiful boy that I met, but I can't.
No, I I can't.
I just I just can't.
I've been making decisions like this for 40 years.
Every day.
This decision, I'm leaving with you.
I nicked a bunch of Reuters files with the same date on.
There's one here called the global news index.
It catalogues all stories.
What do I look up? Er family annihilation? Right, there's five.
All on the same day.
The one here was in a place called Denham, off the M25.
Then the one in America, then killings in Roseira, Brazil, Ratanda, South Africa, and Laishui near Beijing.
I was working with Donaldson.
Last time, when this happened.
He wanted the manuscript.
He has access to an experimental drug, Thoraxin, that works on Deel's.
He said if that I didn't get him what he wanted, then I wouldn't have the drugs.
But at at the last minute I told him to go fuck himself, and I had that fit, and I'm so sorry that I haven't told you and I've regretted it for so long.
I just wanted everything to be out in the open between us, OK? Everything.
Nice jacket.
How come a knob-face like you has suddenly grown a sense Grant, for fuck's sake! We're doing something.
Will you just piss off? Where did that come from? Look, Grant, I'm sorry, I Yeah? Sorry, is it? You made me a killer.
Everyone still thinks I did it.
- And then you made me dead, Ian.
- Grant, put the gun No.
You don't tell me what to do no more.
No-one does.
Stay very still, mate.
Stay very fucking still.
They've got Jen and Alice.
They've got my family.
Michael? I'm gonna help you get your family back.
I promise.
I'll go.
I'll slip out the back.
I'll come back tomorrow.
Michael.
How lovely to see you.
- I wasn't expecting to see you.
- Well, no, of course not.
Er I'm sorry to barge in, Michael.
It it's just I'm looking for Ian.
Ian? Why why do you want Ian? Why?! - He's wanted for murder, Michael.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
- Had you forgotten? - I had.
I'd fucking What an idiot.
Oh, so much on your plate.
Ian believes The Network are running again.
The person he killed he thought was with them.
Look, I've tried everywhere else.
I thought there was a remote chance he'd come to you.
No, no, no, he's not been here.
I didn't think so.
It's just I'm getting rather desperate.
Well, that's it, really.
I'll be off, leave you to it.
Actually, could I have some water? I'll get it.
Kitchen through here? Yeah.
Are you religious, Michael? No.
No, not not at all.
Thought not.
Me neither.
Don't even fucking blink.
What, here? No, don't be silly.
But - But I have things to do.
- Yeah.
- That's why I'm killing you.
- Don't be silly, Jessica.
- This isn't I mean, this - It is.
It really is.
Your father's alive.
Look at me.
Look at me, Jessica.
I'm not lying.
You can see that.
He's with Ian.
Ian has Philip.
Let's go see him.
Together.
When you kill, you don't feel nothing, do you? No.
For me it's like unscrewing a bottle to get to the water.
Yeah.
And no-one fucks with you.
They do.
They just do it different.
Will you teach me to shoot? Yes.
Will you teach me to kill? No, I don't think I will.
Where are the others? Up there, talking to Anton, now they've figured out who he is.
What do you mean, who he is? Who is Anton? I'm not really supposed to say.
Look at this - Hartwell, Georgia, where the American bloke killed his family.
Middle of fucking nowhere.
The only thing that's interesting is that it has an airfield.
Light aircraft, crop-dusters, that sort of thing.
- OK.
- And it's 80 miles from Atlanta airport, the busiest airport in the world.
It's the same with Denham.
It has a tiny airfield, but it's en route to Heathrow and Gatwick.
It it's the same with all these places.
If you were going to spread flu, that's how you'd do it.
Crop-dusters in the middle of nowhere, but en route to some of the busiest airports in the world.
Where these families were killed, that's where they're releasing the virus from.
But why why kill families? Why why kill innocent To cover our tracks.
They are sleeper agents.
Trained.
Or brainwashed.
Their job is to tend the virus.
When they get the call, they place it in a designated location, then they kill themselves and their families.
All traces gone.
That's how we work, you see.
Families.
Children.
We are appalling.
Dovada.
Dovada.
- Dovada.
- What does that mean, "dovada"? Dovada means "proof"'.
It means "proof"'.
Why you got the fucking gun? - Oh! Oh! - Go.
Go, go, go.
Go on.
Ian! No, no, no, please! Please don't.
Please.
You're coming with us.
Don't move! Don't move! Chi sim bi-doshalo.
Grant.
Grant! Don't.
No, no, don't do that.
Don't.
Please.
Please don't do that.
Don't.
Please.
Please!
