Vigil

Doward,

is the device gone?

Aye, sir.

Where's DCI Silva?

She's gone to shower.

PANICKED GROANING

And what about her suit - where's that?

I'm getting rid of it.

No, no, don't do that. I need it.

OK.

SHE GASPS

OK.

OK, good job.

Get Walsh to wash you down. I can stay if I'm needed, sir.

No, no, no. It's fine. Get washed down and get out of here.

Come on, arms up.

Might sting a wee bit.

BANGING

Oh, my God, help!

Help, please!

I'll clean up here.

You go get a hazmat suit and go and fix our comms wire.

Thank you, sir.

I won't let you down.

Yeah, I don't doubt it.

Best man for the job.

Go on, then.

Help! Ah, ah...

Aargh! Help!

Help!

HELP!

RAPID BEEPING

Sir, they're using sonobuoys to find us.

More and more are being laid all the time,

both in front of us and behind us.

They've tried to disable us.

Now they're hunting us.

And we have no intel and no orders until that comms wire is fixed.

SHE POUNDS ON THE WALL

SHE SHOUTS AND WAILS

Where's DCI Silva?

Er, she's getting cleaned-up.

Sir, engineer's asking permission to commence the decontamination?

Tell them to go ahead.

Commencing bleach decontamination of the missile compartment, all levels.

There's no guarantee it'll work, sir,

so we'll need to limit access.

EBS masks and a limited exposure time for anyone who has to go in.

Yes, sir. The coxswain requires specialist treatment.

He's deteriorating.

Look at those screens.

We still can't send or receive messages, but even if we could,

we can't signal for a Casualty Evacuation.

Not until we have a handle on the tactical situation.

If we don't get him the drugs he needs,

I don't think he'll survive.

Understood.

I'm sorry.

MACHINE BEEPS

What are you doing?

It sounded like he was choking. Out, out!

It's all right.

I've got you.

OK...

Sir, my eyes were playing up and so I came to get checked.

Right. Well, there's obviously nothing we can do now,

so get back on watch and do the best you can.

Aye, sir.

That's it, nice and easy.

ENGINE STARTS

POLICE SIREN

Ben Oakley, I'm arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy

to murder Jade Antoniak.

You are not obliged to say anything,

but anything you do say will be noted and may be used in evidence.

Do you understand?

This is you with the GRU officer

known as Peter Ingles.

I don't deny knowing him.

What was your relationship with him?

I'll talk to anyone who's opposed to nuclear weapons.

He said he wanted Russia to de-militarise.

Russia can't do that unless we let go of Trident.

He helped out with some things that were useful to our operations.

I suggested a few people he could talk to.

That is it.

You have a photo on your phone of Ingles

and a member of the Royal Navy.

I'd like you to give us your PIN so that we can take a look at it.

You've arrested me for something I didn't do.

And that picture is private property.

When did you take this photo?

A while ago.

Weeks ago.

Weeks ago? That is odd.

Because this is Jade taking that exact photograph.

You took a copy of that photo and then deleted it from her laptop.

Digital forensics are working on that laptop right now

and they'll be able to get your phone open.

I need to see that photo you stole.

Now.

I need to be clear with you about...what happened.

What is your PIN?

4547.

Oh, my God.

SHE DIALS NUMBER

RINGING TONE

Branning.

It's Burke's replacement,

the guy who flew out with Amy.

He's the one who's been working with Ingles.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Sir?

The police have a name for the Russian operative.

It's the sonar operator, Matthew Doward.

SHE GROANS

I love you.

I'm going be with you...

..for the whole of your life.

LABOURED BREATHING

I... Mm-hm.

You can't even say it, can you?

Oh...

SHE SOBS

SHE BANGS ON THE WALL

Come on.

SHE CONTINUES BANGING

Sir?

I'm picking up banging in the boat.

Banging?

BANGING

What is...?

Well, that's Morse code.

Where's it coming from? Somewhere near the bow.

Hey, come on...

Oh, fucking come on!

I can't make it out.

You said it's coming from the bow. Can you narrow it down?

It's marking stronger in the lower decks, sir.

Maybe the fore-ends.

All right. I'll go check.

What was that?

Banging.

Sir, may I go off watch?

I'm really not feeling good.

You'll have to wait until your shift's over.

I'm going to be sick.

OK, Christ... Get out of here.

HE GRUNTS

ALARM Sir, the ballast hull valve's open.

High level bilge warnings from AMS 1, sir..

Ballast hull valve AMS 1 open.

Ship Control, emergency stations.

That's more than a tonne of water a second coming onto the boat.

How does that end up open?

It's sabotage.

Put guards on all essential systems.

Aye, sir.

Shut bulkhead doors.

Emergency stations, emergency stations...

Ballast hull valve open AMS 1.

Make the battle short.

Shut bulkhead doors.

117 bulkhead door shut and locked.

Bulkhead shutdown.

117 bulkhead door shut and locked.

117 bulkhead shutdown.

ALARM BLARES

BANGING

Shit!

No...

Ah... It won't go.

Shit!

Go, go.

Yeah, the ballast hull valve's been fouled.

Come on! We can't shut it.

No, no, the tank top's off.

It's buggered!

We can't stop the water flooding the tanks.

This is Commander Fleming on board HMS Archer.

We've picked up a sound that may be Vigil in distress.

We have the file ready, sir.

RUSHING WATER

What is that?

It's still being analysed,

but it's below the surface and it's ongoing.

Five Russian ships have changed course towards that sound.

If they maintain course, they'll converge around here.

Carry on. What else have we got in the area?

The Russians are a lot closer.

Our nearest Type 23 is 30 minutes behind.

What's this?

That's the USS Delaware.
