LINUS, ON COMPUTER: They're coming for me.
I know they're coming for me.
They've shut down all my accounts. I can't get online. I can't do anything.
Roman, if you're watching this, then you've got the files.
We have to get you somewhere safe.
Somewhere far away from here. - And how are we gonna do that, Dad?
The first thing we have to do, Roman, is you have to delete all of these files
and then you have to destroy this computer
and, and your phone... - It won't make any difference, Dad.
They'll track me down. - Then we'll just have to move faster
than they do, alright. We'll, we'll figure it out, Roman.
We'll figure it out, I promise you. But first get rid of that data
and do not talk to anyone.
What about Mum?

I had a dog.
His name was Bob.
Best friend I ever had.
He used to sneak up into my room at night
and curl up next to me...
My Dad...
he didn't like that.
My Dad didn't like Bob much at all.
He died when I was fourteen.
Your dog or your...?
Bob.
My Dad caught me feeding him under the table.
Hit him so hard, he lost the use of his back legs.
And he said he was gonna put him out of his misery...
So that night, Bob and I, we ran away.
He didn't make it...
He didn't make it very far.
My Dad was right. When he died, it was kind of a relief
not to see him suffer anymore.
But I never went back.
Well...
I guess it's good that something positive came out of
what must have been a very difficult time.
You know you got no chance out there?
Right. - You know?
at some stage...
you're gonna die.
I don't think that's true.
You're all gonna die.
But, err...
you're gonna do it anyway.
Good for you.

FEMALE OFFICER: All units, be advised multiple targets incoming.
Do you hear that?
That's the sound of us catching up.

That's the sound of everyone else getting killed.
Oh.
Yeah, "oh".
Fucking hell man. You're in.
Still got to face the big boss at the end of the level.
Keep going man, you got this...
Shit. Quick. Quick.
Come on guys. Time to go home.
Yes sir.
Right come on, we ain't got long.
ROMAN: Are you sure we should be doing this?
LINUS: Don't worry.
Quick. - Oh!
OK, yes! - That's what I'm talking about man!
Come on, yes!
LINUS: You fucking did it man, we are in...
It's just another conspiracy theory
made up by people with too much time and data at their disposal.
No think about it. If they have a cure, do you seriously think they'd just hand it over?
Err, yeah...
Nah maybe in a world run by pixies and fairies
but I hate to break it to you Roman, that's not the world we live in.
I never said it was. - It's all about business.
If they find a cure, they're gonna monetize the fuck out of it.
That's how Brookeheath roll man. But you're gonna change all that...
No, we're gonna change all that.
Me and you, we're gonna expose them for the evil fuckers they really are.
I don't know man.
I should probably be getting back...
Come on. I've got about ten thousand files to go over before we post them.
I can't do that if they're encoded.
Hey Linus. Got any spare chips going? Yeah. No worries.
Thank you. Thank you. Good day at school you two?
Yeah. I was just trying to persuade Roman to come help me
with this project we've been set.
Well it's fine by me. Curfew's not for another hour yet.
Oh I don't know.
I've got some other stuff I need to do.
Why don't we take a look at it tomorrow, alright?
Alright... Sweet.
Peace. - Hey, safe.
Take it easy Mr Donahue
He left me hanging.
Nah.
I'll see you later.
See you later dad. - Come on Brutus...
JENNY: Come on Roman, we need to know which bridge to head for...
MEGAN: Yeah Roman, come on.
VOICE OVER RADIO: Calling all ambulance crews.
All available Med Vac units from Guy's Hospital are requested
to attend the north side of Tower Bridge.
Severe casualties expected at the south side checkpoint.
We need to get off this road right now.
MICHAEL: What are you doing? - This is Team 21
to all other contestants. You need to get off the A3 straight away.
There's a massive security presence at Tower Bridge.
They know about the race.
They will have secured every bridge in the city
so you need to find a different way across the river.
We need to warn them.
We don't need to do anything.
The rules are really simple. Win. That's all that matters.
We're not like the other racers, are we? We're not doing this for ourselves.
Yeah Michael, we've got a "higher purpose".
We can't sit back and let people die.
Who's the best man now, you piece of shit?
What did you say to him, Michael? - I didn't say anything.
Look, how do you patch me through on this thing?
You actually know this guy?
What? Cos you thought the race was gonna be too easy?
What happened to letting bygones be bygones?
OVER RADIO: You insulted me.
MICHAEL: When did I insult you?
You said I was a piece of shit driver.
I didn't say that.
OVER RADIO: You implied it.
All I'm doing is proving you wrong.
MICHAEL But that's crazy, look...
I'm not even driving.
I don't give a fuck.
THEY GRUNT - DEVICE BEEPS
Yes! - MICHAEL: Easy!
Pass me the bag.
I'm not passing you the bag.
You made a promise, Errol.
You said there'd be no more crazy shit
and you didn't just make that promise to me, you made it to our baby.
This is different. - It's not different.
This is exactly the kind of crazy shit I was talking about.
Now, I can't deal with two babies, Errol.
We need to win this race
so I'm gonna need you to stay true to your promise.
Can you do that or not?
Course I can.
A promise is a promise.
ENGINE STARTS
JENNY: Are you sure this is the right way?
Maybe we should pull over. Just until we've decided.
We don't need to pull over, Mum. We just got to follow signs for the A214.
No way is that a four. It looks more like an "H".
ROMAN: There is no A-21H.
MEGAN: Uh, that's what it says right there.
ROMAN: That's not an "H". It's a four.
Do you want me to have a look? - It's definitely left, OK?
JENNY: Alright, take a left then Zane.
Do we actually know how we're gonna get over the river?
JENNY: Your Dad already had a plan for everything. It's all in there.
ROMAN: I... I've got it.
Wandsworth Bridge.
According to Dad it's the only bridge with a vantage point
that's accessible from the road.
We should have a good view of the check point.
Well let's head there then.
Still doesn't look like a four.
JENNY: Does it say what we do when we get there?
It's hard to say exactly.
But it's definitely got something to do with projectile ballistics.
ROMAN: This is it. Now we have to go up.
We need a view of the bridge.
This whole plan is about this pulse beacon.
As soon as this thing's activated it will generate a high pitch frequency
which the mooks go crazy for.
Just so we're clear.
Dad's amazing plan for getting us over the river was
to set off a device which actually attracts those things.
Yup.
According to Dad - we get this on the bridge and it will start a chain of events
to clear a way through. - Yeah. According to Dad.
When creature density is high enough, the army will deal with it for us.
Look!
There it is Wandsworth Bridge.
JENNY: Jesus, there's a whole army down there.
ROMAN: The mooks will come out from wherever they are.
How do we get this thing onto the bridge?
Say hello to my little friend.
Have you used one of those before?
Sure Mum, he started taking bazooka classes right after he gave up tap.
Maybe Zane should fire it darling, you know
seeing as we've only got one go.
It's pretty straight forward.
Are you sure about this?
You just...
Woah.
Shit.
GRIEVES: Broken security, unexpected.
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck is that?
KOVACKS: She was infected.
Her name is Helen Newman.
GRIEVES: Professor Newman.
Whoop-de-fucking-do!
GRIEVES: Is she gonna live?
UNDERHILL: Well, we'll have a better idea after we've
completed our preliminary investigations.
but it would've helped if your man hadn't shot her.
GRIEVES: When she wakes up I'll need to talk to her.
UNDERHILL: I don't think she has spoken for a number of years.
Recurrent Laryngeal nerve paralysis, it's a curious side effect of the virus.
I'd say the odds of you getting an interview are fifty-fifty at best.
So...
Garwick breaks out of here
and the first person he goes to see is Professor Mooky here
who just so happens to be the scientist in charge of the trials at Kiloran.
The question is...
why?
Well...
I think I'll leave that question to the detectives.
ROMAN ON RADIO: Team 11 to Team 21, come in. Over.
Turn it off.
Team 21, please come in, over.
MEGAN: How do we know they're gonna have one?
ROMAN: It's in the file. All ambulances carry them.
Team 21, we need your help.
And we pretty much guarantee we can help you in return.
I'm answering it.
You have no idea who it could be.
Not everyone involved in this race is a homicidal maniac.
Oh, well, apart from your friend.
You know that one that just tried to kill us.
KAYE: Team 11, this is Team 21. We read you over.
We think we have a proposal which could be mutually beneficial.
KAYE: What did you have in mind?
ROMAN: If your ambulance carries a pack of standard issue pulse beacons
We can help you.
Can you be a little bit more specific?
We'll give you more details when we meet.
But we can definitely help you get across the river.
Head to Wandsworth Bridge. Sending coordinates.
Hey, wait a minute...
How can we trust them, it could be a trap.
KAYE: Look, we have no other way across the river. So..
let's just hear these guys out.
KAYE: We're on our way.
Nice one Bro...
Roman?
Have you seen Linus? He wasn't at registration.
Haven't seen him, sir.
Everything alright?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Just looking through some old files for my coursework.
Hey you seen Linus at all?
No. I mean he wasn't at school today.
His bike is outside and there are removal men at his house.
Looks like they're moving out.
He didn't mention anything?
No...
but, like I said, he wasn't at school today, so...
Sure you're alright? - Yeah I'm fine.
Honestly Dad.
OK.
DONAHUE: What have you got there?
It's not mine.
And in the other pocket.
KAYE: I think we've arrived.
What floor are you on?
We're up on the roof. Head straight to the top.
What if it's just some trap to fuck us over
or slow us down or something?
I don't think so darling. She was the one that warned everyone
about the roadblock on the bridge.
And anyway, according to Dad
it's OK to team up if... - MEGAN: Stop saying that.
Dad's dead.
He barely made it out of the house before he got eaten by a fucking monster.
He didn't have a section in his file
for that, did he? - Megan!
What happened to your father...
None of us have come to terms with it yet.
He was the most...
loyal...
brilliant...
and irritating man I ever met
but he had a plan.
He always had a plan
and he believed in it.
And I believe in him.
The last thing we need to do is to start doubting him.
Your brother's right.
We just have to have a little bit of faith in these people.
And then we fire that bomb onto the bridge
and then all we have to do is wait.
Isn't that right Roman?
ROMAN: Yeah.
According to Dad.
THUDS INSIDE BUILDING
Don't tell me you still think it's a trap.
Look at them. They're terrified.
That doesn't mean anything anymore.
JENNY: Hi.
KAYE: Hi.
This what you're after?
KAYE: Hey.
I think we're in business.
What now?
Now we wait.
Did you bring any crisps?
I did, but I want you to eat a sandwich first.
I've got egg mayonnaise or cheese and pickle.
ROMAN AND MEGAN: Cheese and pickle please, Mum.
JENNY: I wanted to say thank you.
Not everyone would've responded to our call.
Yeah.
Well uh... not everyone in this race is a homicidal maniac.
JENNY SCOFFS
Is that alright? - Yeah.
Thanks. - Hm...
So...
talk me through this again.
Basically, when the creature density on the bridge
gets over two hundred per hectare
the central security defence protocol kicks in
and they send in the drone bombers which blow everything up.
You better be right.
Have faith, Mister.
My brother knows what he's doing.
IN A PATRONISING VOICE: Isn't that right?
GUNFIRE - JENNY: I think it's starting to work now.
ROMAN: Yeah, whatever that frequency is, the creatures can't get enough of it.
Where are they all coming from?
All over. It's like giving them crack.
Apparently.

Linus said the files were important.
But you've no idea what's on them? - No.
I told him it could leave a trail...
that's why we used his IP address, instead.
Maybe I should just hand myself in...
I mean technically I'm still a kid so there could be a case for leniency.
There's no such thing as leniency.

We have to get you somewhere far away from here.

Will it hold?
It'll hold.

It's a three-span cantilever bridge so the structure's pretty sound.
I remember you.
You're the smart kid, aren't you?
