This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting

Angela Wells is beyond help. We could help her. How? Kill her.

I'm authorising shoot to kill. I want to speak to the Home Secretary now.

GUNSHOT BREAKING GLASS

Get him inside! Get him inside!

Forgive me, Harry.

OK, that's the exit wound done. He's tachycardic. His asystolic's now 70.

Where the hell is he bleeding from? His heart rate's dropping. We're losing him. Can't find the bleed.

Got it. Right, clamping the artery.

He's arrested. Standby for internal defib.

50 joules. Charging. Stand clear.

Jakarta is coming!

He's still VF. Increase to 75. Charging. Stand clear.

Are we dreaming, Daddy? Are we in this dream together?

We'll always be together. Is Mummy coming home?

Where's my mummy? No, Mummy's not coming home.

'..billowing into the night sky from the UK's principal fuel depot right behind me.'

'Police are saying that this is without question a terrorist attack.

'The emergency... Oh, my God!

'There's just been another huge blast. Another explosion has...'

Is Mummy coming? Where's my mummy? Keep Wes safe. Promise me you will.

'..fear that more explosions are imminent.

'Experts are already saying that the scale of the damage will have an enormous impact on the supply

'of fuel and energy to homes and businesses throughout Britain.'

'Interpol and the United Kingdom's Intelligence Service MI6 have joined

'forces to apprehend an Al-Qaeda terrorist cell based in Holland.

'The cell is believed to be behind the recent attacks...'

'But the question has to be asked, is Britain now becoming totally ungovernable?'

We're fighting a war on terror, and we are losing that war, because...

'The Government mishandled the crisis...

'They would like the Prime Minister to resign...

'..to push through legislation...

'..about a new breed of terrorism... ..major fuel depots...'

'We're under attack. With an increase in prices, I mean, how...

'..terrorist attacks... ..totally ungovernable.'

Is Mummy coming home? Where's my mummy?

I don't believe it. Adam's back.

Miss me? No, no, we, er... we hardly noticed your absence.

Good to see you, Adam. And you. Are we going to do this?

This story the press have picked up on - "Get ready, Britain, Jakarta's coming." It hasn't gone away. No.

The phrase started appearing about three weeks ago on the internet

and in papers in the Arab world, and it's everywhere. Must be connected to the bombings of the fuel depots.

The timing would suggest so. It's also the same threat that was sent to the Prime Minister's son Rowan.

While at university, Rowan's vulnerable. If anything happens to him we'll lose the PM's leadership

at the most critical moment. Jo stays with him on close protection. Sure.

Adam?

Are you sure you should be back at work? Four weeks away and look at the mess you get into!

A grim warning about what it will really be like when fuel supplies do run out.

What's your take on it? Al-Qaeda.

OK. What? You think it could be something different? No. Come on.

It's just...

it's not standard Al-Qaeda.

Threats to the Prime Minister's son, "Jakarta's coming."

It strikes a discordant note.

Look, his eyes are red!

I'm at the Royal Eastern Hospital, where angry scenes are unfolding

as anxious people are turned away due to lack of resources. The third time I've tried to get my daughter seen!

You tell your viewers that.

There's no petrol, the supermarkets are running out of food, we're being attacked by terrorists.

Where's the Prime Minister? He's on bloody holiday, probably!

Sorry about the interruption there, but, as you can see, this is clearly

an issue that people feel passionate about. For now, though, back over to the studio.

"The agonising death of businessman Terry Miles has led to speculation

"within the intelligence services that biological warfare has already begun on mainland Britain."

Drop the death stare. It didn't come from us. Has it begun? We're waiting for the autopsy results.

In the meantime, we're re-interrogating everyone picked up

after the fuel attacks and also using back channels to rule out any possible foreign state involvement.

If it's biological, there'll be footprints. They've also picked up on this "Jakarta is coming" threat.

It's taking on a life of its own. It's even appearing on walls.

What's that about? It's about adding to the panic, which isn't hard when

you can see that every single person with a cough or aching joints...

Most of the population at this time of year. Yeah. ..is descending on their local hospital scared out of

their wits that they're going to die in agony, weeping blood.

The press are also loving that little detail. They shouldn't! They do the terrorist's job for them.

Now, I've gone on about this till I'm blue in the face, but they just keep whipping up the panic.

The hospitals are close to collapse. Maybe your people should improve their media-management skills.

I'm gonna do better than that. I'm going to the mouth of the sewer and talk to Paul Millington.

It's a national crisis, Harry.

You better remind Millington what we expect of him right now.

Harry! Good to see you.

And you. Don't get up.

How's the life of a media mogul?

Monopolies Commission treating you well? Well, Harry, I can't complain.

I don't think you can after they threw in a TV channel to go with the newspaper you were acquiring.

You know that only three people have developed this bloody-eye syndrome?

So far. And yet hundreds will die, because the panic is putting such pressure on health resources.

The public has a right to be informed of the threat's nature.

Don't want to make the situation worse, do we?

We're not the Government's propaganda arm, Harry.

Well, I'm not asking you to mislead people. I'm simply asking for a little restraint.

These are editorial decisions. I don't interfere with those.

I'm sorry, that's the sound of incredulous laughter being stifled.

Unless I see a very good reason for doing so.

And avoiding mass psychosis isn't a very good reason?

You show me some evidence that we're not

under attack from biological weapons and I'll pass it on to my editors.

Do you want some tea?

No.

How the hell did they poison them?

Each of the victims had a tiny puncture mark on the lower half of their body.

It's consistent with a passer-by inflicting the wound.

I wouldn't normally say that was good news, but at least it's not biological warfare.

Smart terrorism, though. They knew it would cause mayhem.

Shame, the press decided to help them achieve their goals. They must plaster it all over the front pages.

Simple and stark - "Doctors rule out biological warfare." You've been up most of the night... Zaf, wait.

Can you slow down? Make sure they check victims from the tube stations? It's being done. Then home! Right!

'The Prime Minister is working round the clock to introduce measures

'which ensure that we defeat the terrorists who are attacking us.'

I would ask for greater understanding for the difficult

situation that we face both as a government and as a nation.

I would just like to add

that our latest intelligence is strongly suggesting that this

is not biological warfare, so I would urge people to remain calm.

PHONE RINGS

Yep? The anti-terror bill has been defeated in the Commons, Adam.

Half the Government's MPs joined the opposition. Well, that was to be expected. It was full of holes.

The Home Secretary is demanding inter-agency co-operation to get to the bottom of the recent attacks.

We'll host the meetings here. Put padlocks on the computers and hide the stationery. Adam, it's Ruth.

Ruth wouldn't allow me to make this call

unless I added she thinks it's time you found someone permanent for Wes.

I haven't got time to go... No, no, no. I'll do it, Adam.

Leave it with me. As long as you trust me to get the right person.

I trust you. Get some rest.

Thanks.

Why did you have to leave me?

What's Millington up to? Look at the front pages of most of the red-tops,

I mean, this one - some blonde I've never even heard of is having her breasts shrunk, enlarged

or retreaded, I don't know. And the news we're not facing biological warfare is buried on page 5.

They could have stopped the panic and saved lives! Bloody Millington.

He said if I gave him evidence... Well, I gave it to him! Well, he's certainly not looking for a peerage.

We'd better go down there. They'll be here.

'Hello, stranger.' I was calling to see if a cheque had cleared.

Sorry, no. The Prime Minister is under siege.

Nothing must happen to his son or he could break completely. Guard him closely. I understand. OK.

I'll call again tomorrow. Thank you.

No joy? Bloody banks.

Look.

It's strange.

I got the funny message again.

Tell your detective, Rowan.

Who's that? "That" is Michael Collingwood from MI6.

Ah, your counterpart. I'll say one thing for him - he can wear a suit.

A straight back. It's something common to men of his class.

Who's that with him? I don't recognise her.

Well, she'll get the attention of the red-blooded males.

Michael. Harry!

And this is...? Rosalind Myers. Pleased to meet you.

This is Juliet Shaw. Hello.

This cannot go on. We're getting hit after hit.

We've had some considerable successes.

Most of those involved in the attacks on the fuel depots

have been detained. You had far less success your end, Home Secretary.

If you're referring to the anti-terror legislation, Michael, I sweated blood to get that through.

There's always an excuse. You've got problems with your backbenchers, you've got problems with the Lords,

problems with the Opposition, problems in Cabinet, problems with the civil-liberties lobby.

This bill was meant to help us fight fire with fire. Sorry, but democracy can be bloody awkward sometimes. Yes.

OK, let's not waste time with recriminations.

You see, the problem is... Don't interrupt me, please. Our task is to plan inter-agency coordination.

You see, the problem is we cannot defend the country unless you give us the weapons to do so.

Are you listening to me?

Have you listened to a word I've just said? Yes, I have, and I'm hearing the same old rubbish.

That is enough! I don't give a damn what you think of me, but I hold one of the three great offices of state

and you will treat it with respect!

Hasn't the Prime Minister's special policy adviser

been doing some behind-the-scenes work with more moderate opponents of the anti-terror bill? Yes.

With a few minor amendments, Gerry Houghton thinks we can get through the measures we need.

The cell that attacked the depot and the gas pipeline came from Holland.

Don't we have any intelligence on them? Chaff. Nothing significant.

I want the mastermind of these attacks and I want it dealt with.

And that includes the threat to the Prime Minister's son.

How's the Prime Minister really coping?

The Cabinet's restless.

Gerry Houghton's really the only one who's keeping him going. And you.

But I wasn't there from the beginning like Houghton was. Collingwood's a difficult bastard.

He's an old warrior. I doubt if he voted for you, but his manner's always been somewhat abrasive.

I'm relying on you, Harry.

There are voices in Cabinet urging the PM to incautious measures.

At the moment Houghton, is a voice of reason, and there aren't many of those about.

One more terror attack and he'll be drowned out completely.

Morning.

Hello, Mr Houghton.

The death of the MP Gerry Houghton

may have been linked to images found on his computer.

Police officers are refusing to confirm an investigation into

a paedophile ring but confirm that Mr Houghton was recently released on police bail after being questioned

about images found on the hard disk of his computer.

He was my godfather.

It's horrible.

It doesn't make sense.

Gerry wasn't a paedophile.

You know, I've known him my whole life, and he was not a paedophile.

I just don't understand why nobody's getting up and saying something, you know?

My dad could go on the television and just tell everyone it's not true, and then it'd be fine.

I don't understand what's going on at all! With everything.
