Paradox

Dr King allowed DS Holt to see the image of his own death.

Is he deliberately trying to sabotage the team?

The images aren't random. Some other being has to be behind it.

One of the images was taken directly by your own satellite.

It appears so. How?

I don't know.

This isn't about solving crime or keeping people alive. It's about your ego.

Do you know this man? Have you noticed him hanging around? No.

If you see him, ring me immediately, OK?

What if it's my investigations that are somehow triggering it?

Which is the bigger risk? Do something or do nothing?

No!

It's not enough to charge him.

I've got a role to play here. I'm beginning to understand that.

This isn't justice.

'Christian. Hello?'

You should come in.

Why 12 images this time? Why seven last time?

You still haven't figured that out?

Do they all point the same thing?

Could one of them be random, like last time?

That body's carbonised. Takes a serious fire to do that.

We could be looking at arson.

What makes you think arson?

I've got one of those in the car boot. Petrol canister. Petrol fire?

Charred body? Arson? Elementary.

What's your problem?

A more rigorous approach would be to positively identify

each individual image before constructing a story.

It's not a story. It's what's going to happen.

You're a policeman. You gather pieces of evidence

and turn them into a story you can tell in court.

That may not be the best method... Are you saying I fake cases?

You misunderstand. Arson is a possibility.

What about this body? Jumped? To avoid the fire?

OK, we have two bodies and a fire.

In 16 hours and eight minutes...

if we don't stop it.

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

What are you doing?

She won't stop. Why won't she stop?

It's just a phase. She'll grow out of it.

What if she doesn't? She will.

I can't do this any more. Of course you can, love.

I'll take her.

There you go.

You just need a break. That's all.

What is that, a bit of cloth? Curtains?

Pyjamas.

You have a strange taste in nightwear.

That's a hydrant marker.

Do you think those numbers would give us a location?

Callum? What's this code mean?

Accounts? An invoice?

That is a lot of money.

Could it refer to a cash transaction?

Money's a motive for arson. Money can be a motive for anything.

Bank? Post Office? You're thinking criminal link?

It would be nice if there was.

It's four in the morning.

I have been worried sick!

It is practically daylight.

What have you been doing?

Like you care(!)

Of course I care, I'm your mother.

You've been smoking. No.

Don't touch me! This has got to stop.

You do know it's my last exam tomorrow, don't you?

Can I go to bed now?

OK, we have a serial number.

Cross ref it with... Yeah.

Do not duplicate. That's a high-security key.

Vaults, safety deposit box.

ID the make. Find out how many security companies are using it.

If we ID the key, we can work out what it opens.

That looks like some sort of reflective surface.

A window, a glass? Door?

Could those be buildings?

Get Christian to enhance it. I can ask.

Right, well, at least we have a partial address.

I'll check this one out. And this.

Another one, Spock.

Oh, that I like, that I like very much.

That note's part of a 200 grand haul from an armed robbery,

as yet unrecovered.

What robbery? Post Office, Travers Road.

They had a cash top-up that day. We got some numbers.

It's one of Tony Gooding's jobs.

I thought we didn't know that for sure.

Knowing and proving two different things. We know it was Gooding.

But do we? I don't want you going off-piste again.

I'm not. It a link to a robbery.

I know somebody who can tell me about it.

If this does take us to Tony Gooding,

you can sign me up to Operation Talisman till pension day.

Any idea what this is?

It's a cross-section of metal. What kind of metal?

Can you be more specific? No.

Can you find out?

That's the image that was taken by your satellite.

Could it have taken all these images?

No.

The varying resolutions and perspectives make that inconceivable.

Prometheus II is solely designed to take high resolution photos

of the terrain beneath it. Who for?

The Ministry of Defence.

Could they be controlling it?

I would have said that's...

impossible, but then so's receiving images from the future.

Morning, Derek. How are you doing? Nice to see ya.

What do you want?

Just a wee chat. Pass the time of day.

Come back later?

Now?

I ain't done nothing.

That doesn't sound like the Derek I know.

SIGHS

Where's the money from the Travers Road job?

What? The robbery.

I know Gooding pulled it. You know what happened to the cash.

Look, mate, you've got the wrong idea.

No, I've got the right idea.

How's your brother?

How's his wife?

She's all right.

You would know, eh?

What have you got?

A lead on the cash, and it takes us straight to Tony Gooding.

How? He's laundering the money today.

I want to pull him.

The images show cash, not Tony Gooding.

'We know we're looking for stolen money. '

We know Gooding stole it. Plus he's got form for arson.

This isn't about an arrest, Ben.

This is about following the money.

Surveillance, then.

Unless you've got anything better. Surveillance only.

Yeah.

That IS one of your keys.

Do you keep a record of who you supplied it to?

Yeah?

Great.

No.

No, that's all I've got. 584.

I see.

No, no, I understand. It was worth a shot.

Thanks.

This image... the one that came through last week.

When's it going to happen?

What? It came through for a reason.

Why does there have to be a reason?

It could simply be random. No.

Corrupted data, noise... You don't understand.

There is a purpose.

Mr Hudson. Yeah?

DI Flint.

Do you recognise this?

Yes, it's from me daughter's school.

What's it about? Don't know.

I haven't received any letter.

Can I talk to your daughter?

I'm not the one to ask.

Who is the one to ask? Her mother.

Where would I find her?

I've no idea.

Well, you must have an address.

Why would I want to see her again?

No idea. What about these numbers?

Don't they give you a location? Not them.

That is the diameter of the main and that's how far it is from the sign.

There's a location code above them.

Have you got the rest of the picture? No.

Do you know how many water hydrants there are

in the Greater Manchester area? No.

Thousands.

Can Prometheus do more than take photographs?

What do you mean?

Of course not.

Why?

Has the MoD got something on that satellite that I don't know about?

No.

Absolutely not, no.

Well, you designed it, you saw it being built.

We both watched it launch.

For the MoD to somehow sneak something onto the payload...

it's impossible.

Ridiculous.

The only link with Prometheus is through my control room?

Yeah. You can guarantee that?

Yes, I can.

Christian, if you need to talk something through...

I wouldn't do it here.

BABY CRIES

I've had too much time off as it is. I've got to go.

Yeah, I'll manage.

You'll be all right with her on your own?

I'll be fine.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

I'm going to work. I have to.
