Yes, he has! |

Oh! |

Oh, no! |

Open! |

Oh! |

Open! |

Open! |

Your sister's going to kill me. |

We better hurry up, then. |

You need to review this. Pressure's |

The Prime Minister is calling in |

- So I need to know why |
| 00:07:38 |
Isn't this the storm that hit |
| 00:07:41 |
Sir, forecasting is not |
| 00:07:43 |
Haven't you been tracking it for five |
| 00:07:48 |
- You have models. |

When a storm surge is |

no means of predicting |

By the time we have new data, |

- What's gonna happen next? |

the storm is moving northeast |

- So, the worst of it's over? |
| 00:08:09 |
Though actually you can't predict what |
| 00:08:15 |
I'm confident about this, sir. |

And, uh... Dad, just so you know... |

Rob's coming. |

- I see. - I didn't think he'd |

Yes. It's been a long time. |
| 00:09:26 |
Yes. I do. |

But does Rob know I'll be there? |
| 00:09:30 |
Dad, I want you there |
| 00:09:31 |
and your granddaughter wants you |

So no excuses, please. |

Good morning. |

Good morning, Reverend. |

How you holding up? |
| 00:09:58 |
Well, we're used to turbulent |
| 00:10:00 |
But this... this was something else. |
| 00:10:02 |
We... we just were not prepared. |
| 00:10:05 |
And why weren't |
| 00:10:07 |
Sir, do you have any idea of the |

Sir? |

No. No, I haven't. |

What's your name? |

A very pretty name. |

And I wanted you both here. You've |

Yeah, maybe you're right, |

Yeah, wait. A family? |
| 00:13:17 |
You mean like being there |
| 00:13:20 |
Come on. You know it |

You should see him with Elsa. |

It's about to get worse. |

- What? - They're closing |

But there's a problem, and |

We're under contract. |

Easy for you to say. You |

There must be someone else. |

Ah, Professor Morrison. It's been a long |

Now's not a good time. The boss is on the |

This won't take a minute. |
| 00:15:40 |
Could you email me the figures from |

- Can I ask why you need that information? |
| 00:15:49 |
We can call it that. |

I'm sorry to hear about your casualties. |

Why, I appreciate that, Arthur. |
| 00:16:22 |
And I'll convey your sentiments |
| 00:16:24 |
I'm sure you're aware the dollar has |
| 00:16:28 |
Confidence has been lower here |
| 00:16:31 |
And we have some big players |

We could be facing a major meltdown. |

I'm sorry to hear that, |

but just at this moment we're trying |

I'm just calling to let you know |

Thanks. |

Will do. |

Commissioner, you have the |

- (Woman) I need to be kept informed |
| 00:17:33 |
- Thank you. Thanks for your cooperation. |
| 00:17:37 |
- Professor, I'm a bit busy. |
| 00:17:40 |
Those figures you sent |
| 00:17:44 |
- Yeah? - Don't you think |
| 00:17:46 |
It's a storm surge. Nothing |
| 00:17:50 |
I've fed the numbers into my computer model. |
| 00:17:53 |
If the surge continues to |
| 00:17:56 |
the entire east coast of England |

| 00:18:13 |
All right. |

Thanks, Anna. |
| 00:18:22 |
Hi, Sam. |
| 00:18:24 |
What are you doing here? |
| 00:18:26 |
Problem on Pier 1. No one else available. |
| 00:18:29 |
Ah, right. Well, it'll do you |
| 00:18:36 |
- You're looking well. |
| 00:18:41 |
I hear business is good. |
| 00:18:44 |
Anna still running things for you? |
| 00:18:46 |
Well, nothing's changed. |
| 00:18:48 |
- She gives the orders. I obey. |
| 00:18:51 |
Nice flowers. And I know |
| 00:18:54 |
- I know. It's great, isn't it? |
| 00:18:58 |
- Does he know you hate roses? |
| 00:19:03 |
Oh, look at this. |
| 00:19:04 |
It must be my lucky day. They've sent |
| 00:19:08 |
How are you, Rob? - You're |
| 00:19:14 |
Right. Uh... well. |
| 00:19:16 |
Shall we go? |
| 00:19:17 |
Our guys don't think |
| 00:19:20 |
but with this early closure, |
| 00:19:23 |
and seeing's how we pay you |
| 00:19:26 |
I thought I might call |
| 00:19:29 |
- What do you reckon? |
| 00:19:31 |
- Or? |
| 00:19:33 |
which will affect lift capacity. |
| 00:19:37 |
Leave it with me. I'll run |
| 00:19:40 |
- If it turns up positive... - We wait |

I'm at a detail on Pier 3 There's a |

On my way. Sorry. |
| 00:19:51 |
All right. |
| 00:19:55 |
Get your paper! |
| 00:19:57 |
There you go, darling. Thank you |
| 00:20:01 |
Storm body count rises! |

I want to know we're not gonna |

Latest figures have the |
| 00:20:15 |
into the North Sea, towards |
| 00:20:17 |
You told me this morning. |
| 00:20:20 |
Sir, the storm is not behaving |
| 00:20:24 |
(Snorts) Has the danger passed? |
| 00:20:27 |
It's difficult to say. |
| 00:20:29 |
If the prevailing winds |
| 00:20:34 |
the surge would be squeezed between |
| 00:20:38 |
Now, this creates a funnelling effect |
| 00:20:42 |
But that's just a worst-case scenario. |
| 00:20:44 |
Most surges lose momentum before |
| 00:20:49 |
Not always, though? |
| 00:21:00 |
So? What do you think? |
| 00:21:02 |
Nothing of immediate concern. |
| 00:21:05 |
- How much longer do you need? |
| 00:21:08 |
We need you out of here |
| 00:21:11 |
Well, well. |
| 00:21:16 |
.. I'll get out of your way as |
| 00:21:20 |
(Sighs) |
| 00:21:25 |
- You know I didn't mean it like that. |
| 00:21:31 |
- Well, you can manage till Frank gets back? |
| 00:21:40 |
His name is Duncan. We've |
| 00:21:42 |
I don't need to explain myself to you. |
| 00:21:46 |
- Cos you asked. |
| 00:21:51 |
Cos you wanted to know. |
| 00:21:55 |
(Sighs) |
| 00:21:58 |
- He's an architect. |
| 00:22:00 |
England are two-nil up! |
| 00:22:05 |
Two-nil... |
| 00:22:07 |
Oh, you're Canadian. Why would you care? |
| 00:22:15 |
Two-nil. |
| 00:22:19 |
Is it possible that this storm |
| 00:22:22 |
If we did see the storm change its current |
| 00:22:27 |
there could be flooding |
| 00:22:30 |
- Damage estimate? - The last time |
| 00:22:34 |
1953. |
| 00:22:36 |
The storm that hit East Anglia and |
| 00:22:41 |
another 200 at sea, nearly. |
| 00:22:44 |
That surge was a body of water four |
| 00:22:51 |
At present, this storm |
| 00:22:54 |
Experience suggests it would be pointless |
| 00:22:59 |
Right! |
| 00:23:01 |
So tell me, how the hell |
| 00:23:05 |
(Journalists shouting) |
| 00:23:07 |
- Steven. |
| 00:23:09 |
Does the Prime Minister |
| 00:23:11 |
and return home to deal |
| 00:23:13 |
The situation is fully |
| 00:23:16 |
But, yes, the Prime Minister will |
| 00:23:18 |
You can bet he's very keen to be here for |
| 00:23:22 |
Deputy Prime Minister! |
| 00:23:25 |
- Yes? |
| 00:23:27 |
Well, just at this present time we're |
| 00:23:31 |
The latest figures from |
| 00:23:34 |
indicate that the storm is heading |
| 00:23:37 |
Deputy Prime Minister, are you |
| 00:23:43 |
Well, yes, yes. |
| 00:23:45 |
I'm very pleased to be able to say |
| 00:23:50 |
show that our coastline |
| 00:23:53 |
- Deputy Prime Minister |
| 00:23:56 |
- (Shouting) |
| 00:24:03 |
There's a gentleman in reception. |
| 00:24:05 |
I explained you were busy, but he |
| 00:24:07 |
He's insisting on seeing you. |
| 00:24:09 |
- Who? |
| 00:24:14 |
- Sam. |
| 00:24:18 |
- Sorry to have to trouble you. |
| 00:24:24 |
- Tonight's is the highest |
| 00:24:27 |
Yeah, which is why we are |
| 00:24:29 |
My computer model is predicting |
| 00:24:32 |
will reach the mouth of the |
| 00:24:36 |
This means that the volume of water |
| 00:24:41 |
Don't underestimate the Barrier. |
| 00:24:45 |
Not this much water! |
| 00:24:50 |
Sam, you know I wouldn't come here... |
| 00:24:52 |
Have you spoken with your old colleagues |
| 00:24:55 |
They're not taking my calls. |
| 00:25:00 |
You're saying... the confluence |
| 00:25:04 |
Could be catastrophic. |
| 00:25:15 |
(Hopkins) This doesn't make any sense. |
| 00:25:18 |
It was heading east towards Holland |
| 00:25:22 |
This wasn't meant to happen. |
| 00:25:30 |
It's heading straight for us. |
| 00:25:37 |
- Commissioner Nash. |
| 00:25:39 |
- Hi Sam What can I do for you? |
| 00:25:42 |
I've got Leonard Morrison here. |
| 00:25:46 |
Professor Morrison has |
| 00:25:50 |
According to this, it looks as though the |
| 00:25:55 |
resulting in a volume of water so great |
| 00:26:00 |
Info. |
| 00:26:02 |
- Let me get right back to you. |
| 00:26:22 |
Excuse me, Leonard. |
| 00:26:24 |
(Penny) Morrison's an |
| 00:26:27 |
He was chief analyst at the |
| 00:26:30 |
and sat on a Parliamentary |
| 00:26:33 |
which reported on the |
| 00:26:35 |
The report he submitted |
| 00:26:39 |
He reckoned that the Barrier |
| 00:26:42 |
and recommended that it be built closer |
| 00:26:47 |
closer to the sea. |
| 00:26:49 |
Basically, his concern is that |
| 00:26:52 |
the Barrier could be overwhelmed. |
| 00:26:56 |
Get me Sam Morrison again. |
| 00:27:01 |
He just turned up. |
| 00:27:03 |
- He's here about the Barrier. |
| 00:27:08 |
Look. I know that this is |
| 00:27:10 |
we need to listen to what |
| 00:27:13 |
- I don't care what he has to say. |
| 00:27:15 |
Is that what this is about? |
| 00:27:18 |
Storm surge coincides with the spring |
| 00:27:24 |
- Am I right? - Yeah. I've seen |
| 00:27:28 |
- It's a very real possibility. |
| 00:27:30 |
You still don't get it, do you? |
| 00:27:32 |
This is an obsession! |
| 00:27:34 |
This obsession destroyed our lives! |
| 00:27:37 |
He's wrong but he could never admit it! |
| 00:27:41 |
Even though that meant |
| 00:27:44 |
My mother died heartbroken |
| 00:27:48 |
Why should I listen to him now? |
| 00:27:53 |
Just hear your father out. |
| 00:27:56 |
And you, Hopkins? |
| 00:27:59 |
The storm has dramatically altered |
| 00:28:05 |
It's likely to hit the southeastern coast |
| 00:28:11 |
- Can you be more specific? |
| 00:28:15 |
So we should anticipate considerable damage. |
| 00:28:18 |
You're all missing the point. |
| 00:28:20 |
With respect, Professor Morrison, |
| 00:28:22 |
this is hardly an appropriate |
| 00:28:24 |
- According to my computer model. |
| 00:28:27 |
Forecasts from the Met Office and |
| 00:28:29 |
haven't been very accurate so far. |
| 00:28:32 |
Sorry, Professor. Please continue. |
| 00:28:34 |
Assuming no change in wind conditions, |
| 00:28:37 |
my figures indicate that this storm, |
| 00:28:41 |
will reach southeast England |
| 00:28:46 |
What does that mean? |
| 00:28:48 |
The combined volume of water will |
| 00:28:56 |
So, what, are you saying that |
| 00:29:01 |
I'm afraid I am. |
| 00:29:03 |
And I'm not talking |
| 00:29:06 |
This is an event that |
| 00:29:09 |
So, which areas are most at risk? |
| 00:29:12 |
The danger zone includes the Docklands |
| 00:29:17 |
three World Heritage sites at risk, |
| 00:29:23 |
and, of course, your location in Whitehall. |
| 00:29:31 |
What does this mean in |
| 00:29:33 |
Approximately one and |
| 00:29:35 |
either live or work within |
| 00:29:41 |
How long have we got? |
| 00:29:42 |
Figures I've received from the Met Office |
| 00:29:45 |
indicate that the storm will reach |
| 00:29:50 |
Dear God! That's seven o'clock this evening! |
| 00:29:54 |
Well, somebody did. |
| 00:29:59 |
We need to initiate evacuation |
| 00:30:05 |
The longer we delay the |
| 00:30:09 |
the greater the risk of there |
| 00:30:20 |
Sir? |
| 00:30:23 |
Do it. |
| 00:30:32 |
Rob! |
| 00:30:34 |
Thanks for... in there. |
| 00:30:38 |
Well. |
| 00:30:40 |
It look s like you were right. |
| 00:30:46 |
In fact, I'm sorry about a lot of things. |
| 00:31:06 |
Hey! Coming back in a half an hour. |
| 00:31:10 |
London Underground asks |
| 00:31:12 |
keep their belongings with |
| 00:31:15 |
If any bags are left unattended |
| 00:31:19 |
- Takes years of practice, of course. |
| 00:31:23 |
- Yeah? |
| 00:31:28 |
Kate. Now, listen, I want |
| 00:31:31 |
No, don't ask questions. Just listen. |
| 00:31:33 |
Get in the car, take the family, and get |
| 00:31:37 |
I want you to drive as fast as you can. |
| 00:31:40 |
No, no, look, Dad... Dad's here |
| 00:31:43 |
Don't ask questions, |
| 00:31:45 |
Kate, listen, listen. |
| 00:31:47 |
Dad was right all along. |
| 00:31:50 |
Yeah. |
| 00:31:52 |
Goodbye. |
| 00:32:02 |
Track down the girls for me. They |
| 00:32:06 |
- Penny, make sure you call home too. |
| 00:32:10 |
It was my understanding... |
| 00:32:11 |
the emergency services would |
| 00:32:14 |
clear warning of a major flood alert. |
| 00:32:16 |
And we've had barely three. What |
| 00:32:22 |
When this gets out, there's going to |
| 00:32:26 |
We have less than three hours |
| 00:32:31 |
How long can we keep |
| 00:32:33 |
We'll have to clear the lines |
| 00:32:36 |
- But that only gives us two hours. |
| 00:32:39 |
To clear the tunnels by 6.20, |
| 00:32:40 |
London Underground have to |
| 00:32:43 |
That's an hour from now. |
| 00:32:47 |
Look. Trains have to be run out to |
| 00:32:51 |
Fewer trains means we're |
| 00:32:54 |
Once word gets out, stations will fill |
| 00:32:57 |
The trains that do get through are gonna be |
| 00:33:03 |
Right. |
| 00:33:05 |
I'm declaring a State of Emergency. |
| 00:33:08 |
(Woman) The Emergency |
| 00:33:11 |
(Man) south of the River Thames.. |
| 00:33:16 |

Get out of the way! |
| 00:33:29 |
Lads! |

Get back now! Back! |
| 00:33:34 |

| 00:33:37 |
(Woman) Make your way |
| 00:33:42 |
.. to the lower pump room. |
| 00:33:51 |
- Initiate the gate closure now. |
| 00:33:59 |
(Alarm goes off) |
| 00:34:02 |
(Alarm blaring) |
| 00:34:10 |
This way! |
| 00:34:14 |
(Alarm blaring) |
| 00:34:20 |
Tell Frank I'm heading down |
| 00:34:26 |
(Alarm blares) |
| 00:34:46 |
Come on, Bill, where are you? |
| 00:34:50 |
I have to brief the Prime Minister |
| 00:34:54 |
The Barrier has initiated closure, and |
| 00:34:59 |
But, sir... no population |
| 00:35:03 |
in this time frame, has ever |
| 00:35:06 |
We're dealing with millions of people. |
| 00:35:09 |
(Sirens wail) |
| 00:35:15 |
Leave this area Please make |
| 00:35:18 |
If you live anywhere around a river area |
| 00:35:26 |
- Back! |
| 00:35:28 |
(Siren) |
| 00:35:34 |
The space between the gate and |
| 00:35:37 |
We're right on target. |
| 00:35:40 |
- I couldn't get through to Kate. |
| 00:35:44 |
- Sam. |
| 00:35:47 |
We have to get these people out of here. |
| 00:35:50 |
Frank and the boys are refusing to go. |
| 00:35:56 |
(Woman) Please make your way |
| 00:36:04 |
Please evacuate and make your way |
| 00:36:12 |
We should get out of here. |
| 00:36:14 |
Please evacuate and make your way |
| 00:36:21 |
Please do as the soldiers ask.. |
| 00:36:26 |
Please do what the soldiers say.. |
| 00:36:30 |
It's going to be at least 45 minutes |
| 00:36:32 |
before all schools at risk in the |
| 00:36:35 |
That means we may not get to the |
| 00:36:39 |
The patient population there |
| 00:36:44 |
This came in a few moments ago, ma'am. |
| 00:36:53 |
The Suffolk coast... half an hour ago. |
| 00:37:10 |
Prioritise the schools. |
| 00:37:18 |
- Bloody hell! It's a mission getting |
| 00:37:27 |
All right. |
| 00:37:29 |
Up you go then. |
| 00:37:31 |
- Why I got to go up? |
| 00:37:35 |
Sweet. Sweet, Bill. |
| 00:37:37 |
You do work here, don't ya? |
| 00:37:41 |
Oh! It's filthy up here, Bill. |
| 00:37:44 |
I know. |
| 00:37:47 |
Boss! You ought to look |
| 00:37:49 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:37:55 |
Put me through |
| 00:37:58 |
- Hello Sam. - Ma'am. We'we |
| 00:38:03 |
The surge is growing in size |
| 00:38:06 |
at a height of four to six meters. |
| 00:38:08 |
- How long have we got? - It's a |
| 00:38:13 |
Sam. Patch all video feeds from the |
| 00:38:30 |
Oh, my God! |
| 00:38:36 |
- God. |
| 00:38:55 |
(Alarm sounds) |
| 00:39:02 |
- I need to check on my crew. |
| 00:39:04 |
- I'll go with Frank. |
| 00:39:06 |
- No time to argue. |
| 00:39:09 |
We need to relocate now. |
| 00:39:14 |
Sir? |
| 00:39:28 |
Please, God, they got out. |
| 00:39:36 |
(Screams) |
| 00:39:44 |
- (Rumble) |
| 00:39:48 |
Let's get out of here! |
| 00:39:54 |
Frank! |
| 00:40:01 |
Oh, God. |
| 00:40:06 |
Oh, my God. |
| 00:40:10 |
- (Alarm blares) |
| 00:40:14 |
- We need to hurry up. |
| 00:40:17 |
What about Leonard? |
| 00:40:22 |
- We have to go up now. |
| 00:40:24 |
Now! We have to go up now! |
| 00:40:44 |
(Tyres screech) |
| 00:40:52 |
Yeah, we're at Cobra 2. |
| 00:40:54 |
- Anything on the girls? |
| 00:40:58 |
They'll be patched through to you |
| 00:41:01 |
Get me an update on the hospital and |
| 00:41:10 |
- Hey, did you hear that? |
| 00:41:13 |
Exactly. |
| 00:41:19 |
Hello, Control? |
| 00:41:21 |
Come in, Control. |
| 00:41:25 |
We need to get to a phone. |
| 00:41:28 |
Find out what's going on. |
| 00:41:30 |
I need to see what's happening |
| 00:41:34 |
I need pictures! |
| 00:41:38 |
- Come on! We've got to get up to the |
| 00:42:00 |
Rob! |
| 00:42:01 |
Leonard! |
| 00:42:04 |
- Where's Frank? |
| 00:42:07 |
You all right, Dad? |
| 00:42:11 |
Look! If we stay here, we're gonna die. |
| 00:42:19 |
- Come on, Dad. |
| 00:42:22 |
Sam! It's breaking up. We've got to jump. |
| 00:42:27 |
It's all right, come on. |
| 00:42:30 |
Trust me. We're gonna be all right. |
| 00:42:33 |
- One! |
| 00:42:37 |
Two! |
| 00:42:42 |
Three! |
| 00:42:54 |
- This was supposed to be instant plug |
| 00:42:59 |
(Man) We've got it. Sir? |
| 00:43:05 |
Jesus. |
| 00:43:12 |
Can you get in any |
| 00:43:20 |
- My God! Who's that? |
| 00:43:31 |
- It's Professor Morrison. We need |
| 00:43:36 |
All military aircraft are |
| 00:43:39 |
Well, then, requisition a |
| 00:43:42 |
Yes, ma'am. |
| 00:43:49 |
No. Morrison. What's happening? |
| 00:43:54 |
I want that Barrier signal back up! |
| 00:44:01 |
Oh! |
| 00:44:18 |
Ah! |
| 00:44:21 |
Sam! |
| 00:44:23 |
Sam! |
| 00:44:26 |
- Sir, we've got it. |
| 00:44:28 |
Ma'am? Ma'am? |
| 00:44:30 |
You need to see this. |
| 00:44:37 |
(Moans) |
| 00:44:48 |
(Man) Cobra 2? Search and Rescue 4 |
| 00:44:56 |
Steady! Here you go! |
| 00:45:00 |
Cobra 2? Search and Rescue 4. |
| 00:45:02 |
Wait... wait! No, tell him to wait! |
| 00:45:06 |
No. Please! My son's down there! |
| 00:45:10 |
No one could have survived |
| 00:45:19 |
(Gasping) |
| 00:45:32 |
Sam! |
| 00:45:35 |
Sam! This way! This way! |
| 00:45:37 |
Over here! Over here! |
| 00:45:42 |
(Sobs) |
| 00:45:45 |
Do you think you can |
| 00:45:48 |
I don't know! |
| 00:45:50 |
It's all right! The current |
| 00:45:55 |
OK? I'll be right behind you. |
| 00:45:57 |
I'm gonna let you go. All right? |
| 00:46:01 |
Go on! |
| 00:46:04 |
- I need figures from Tilbury to London |
| 00:46:07 |
Commissioner? |
| 00:46:10 |
Sir, we're up against it. |
| 00:46:13 |
- Even New Orleans can't compare. |
| 00:46:17 |
- What? - I'm concerned |
| 00:46:20 |
Signing this will give the |
| 00:46:23 |
Limited powers, to overrule civil |
| 00:46:27 |
What? |
| 00:46:29 |
I must retain the authority |
| 00:46:31 |
I need to get thousands |
| 00:46:34 |
and I can't do that without |
| 00:46:36 |
All transport, all vehicles, must |
| 00:46:41 |
We will work with Cobra, but I |
| 00:46:44 |
of all rescue personnel, buildings.. |
| 00:46:49 |
including security concerns, remains |
| 00:46:52 |
Commissioner Nash is to be given |
| 00:46:56 |
in accordance with agreed protocol. |
| 00:46:59 |
But if civilian unrest gets out of hand, |
| 00:47:02 |
Yes, but cooperation is what's |
| 00:47:06 |
You'll work under Cobra in all areas of the |
| 00:47:10 |
Is that agreed, Major General? |
| 00:47:13 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:47:15 |
- Where's my liaison officer? |
| 00:47:25 |
(Shouting) |
| 00:47:39 |
(Gasping and sobbing) |
| 00:47:58 |
Oh! |
| 00:48:05 |
Rob! |
| 00:49:08 |
(Bill) This is the old transformer |
| 00:49:19 |
Oh, that's not right. |
| 00:49:24 |
Climb to the top of here. |
| 00:49:27 |
Oh, a ladder. There's a |
| 00:49:33 |
You know what? I think you might be |
| 00:49:37 |
- Not now, mate. - You might |
| 00:49:41 |
(Bill) OK, come on. |
| 00:49:43 |
- (Rattling) |
| 00:49:46 |
I am having serious second |
| 00:49:49 |
A young lad like me, |
| 00:49:51 |
stuck underground... |
| 00:49:54 |
with a bloke... |
| 00:49:57 |
like you. |
| 00:50:03 |
- Ma'am? |
| 00:50:06 |
It seems the girls left you a message |
| 00:50:10 |
(Quietly ) They're meeting friends |
| 00:50:16 |
In town? |
| 00:50:17 |
But... they could be anywhere. |
| 00:50:20 |
I'll keep trying to get through to them. |
| 00:50:27 |
(Phone) |
| 00:50:31 |
(Ringing) |
| 00:50:34 |
(Beeps) |
| 00:50:36 |
Claire, it's me. This is officially |
| 00:50:42 |
Just give me a call, darling, |
| 00:50:46 |
(Beeps) |
| 00:50:58 |
(Men) Get back! Get back! |
| 00:51:02 |
(Sirens wail) |
| 00:51:09 |
(Man) Come on! Come on! |
| 00:51:13 |
Lock your door! Shove off! |
| 00:51:16 |
- Open the door! |
| 00:51:19 |
(Screaming) |
| 00:51:34 |
- (Screams) |
| 00:51:39 |
Commissioner, we have to shut down |
| 00:51:43 |
in Deptford, Kennington, |
| 00:51:46 |
The hospitals can only run so long on backup |
| 00:51:51 |
It's that, or we could have |
| 00:51:59 |
(Shouting) |
| 00:52:28 |
Whoa! |
| 00:52:34 |
I can't hold on! |
| 00:52:37 |
Aaah! |
| 00:52:41 |
(Sam screams) |
| 00:52:48 |
- Latest evac figures. |
| 00:52:51 |
They've been safely moved |
| 00:52:55 |
All right. Bullet points, please. |
| 00:52:58 |
We need to look at the |
| 00:53:00 |
Ma'am. There's no slowdown. |
| 00:53:03 |
The momentum of the surge is |
| 00:53:06 |
But the wind and the rain's |
| 00:53:09 |
The Met storm forecast let us down |
| 00:53:14 |
An event on this scale is... is practically |
| 00:53:19 |
This latest data feed is |
| 00:53:21 |
But I need to know what further |
| 00:53:25 |
If the surge maintains its current |
| 00:53:29 |
Before most of Central London |
| 00:53:34 |
What can be achieved in two hours? |
| 00:53:44 |
No matter how fast we work, |
| 00:53:48 |
So we should concentrate our efforts on |
| 00:53:53 |
We should deploy the |
| 00:53:55 |
and any available emergency |
| 00:54:00 |
But we'll be abandoning this |
| 00:54:04 |
Bermondsey, Lewisham. - Given the speed |
| 00:54:10 |
We have to prioritise. |
| 00:54:14 |
- Focus on the southwest, Mr Bullman. |
| 00:54:18 |
Next schedule briefing, 15 minutes. |
| 00:54:20 |
- The next press conference is |
| 00:54:25 |
(Roaring overhead) |
| 00:54:28 |
Sounds like they got the |
| 00:54:32 |
Like no train I've ever heard. |
| 00:54:34 |
(Shouting and screaming) |
| 00:54:47 |
Shit. |
| 00:54:49 |
What is it? Is that |
| 00:54:53 |
- What is it? |
| 00:54:58 |
- Go! |
| 00:55:12 |
(Shouting and screaming) |
| 00:55:21 |
- Come on, Bill, run! |
| 00:55:32 |
Come on! |
| 00:55:38 |
(Creaking) |
| 00:55:50 |
Shit! |
| 00:55:54 |
Oh, my God! |
| 00:56:02 |
(Man) This is turning into one of the |
| 00:56:06 |
More than 200000 people |
| 00:56:09 |
and emergency services |
| 00:56:12 |
- The scale of the disaster - Professor! |
| 00:56:17 |
- Why have you brought me here? |
| 00:56:20 |
My help? I need to find my son. |
| 00:56:22 |
There's not much you can |
| 00:56:25 |
Your best chance to help |
| 00:56:28 |
Hm. |
| 00:56:29 |
Your Barrier Breach model, |
| 00:56:33 |
and your projections for collateral damage. |
| 00:56:35 |
- They may not be relevant any more. |
| 00:56:38 |
There are millions of lives still at risk. |
| 00:56:41 |
Oh... |
| 00:56:43 |
I need access to my database |
| 00:56:46 |
If it's still up and running. |
| 00:56:48 |
- Can we get you anything, Professor? |
| 00:56:51 |
He's the best marine engineer |
| 00:56:53 |
His company's under contract |
| 00:56:56 |
- Samantha Morrison... |
| 00:57:00 |
- He'd head for Defiant. |
| 00:57:02 |
Defiant Engineering. Rob's company. |
| 00:57:04 |
It's not far from the Barrier |
| 00:57:06 |
- There's just a chance they might... |
| 00:57:10 |
Commissioner? |
| 00:57:13 |
This may all be too late. |
| 00:57:15 |
But we have to try. |
| 00:57:20 |
Rob! |
| 00:57:22 |
Rob! |
| 00:57:24 |
(Woman) Help us! |
| 00:57:26 |
Sam! |
| 00:57:29 |
(Man) Help! |
| 00:57:32 |
- (Woman) Help! |
| 00:57:34 |
(Woman) Over here. Help. |
| 00:57:43 |
You can't stay here! |
| 00:57:45 |
The only way out is up that way! |
| 00:57:47 |
I think we should stay here! |
| 00:57:52 |
If you don't move you're gonna die! |
| 00:58:02 |
Oh! |
| 00:58:11 |
(Rob) Go, go! |
| 00:58:13 |
Keep going! Keep going! |
| 00:58:16 |
The water's rising! |
| 00:58:21 |
- How long do you reckon? |
| 00:58:28 |
Make that ten. |
| 00:58:31 |
Hurry it up! |
| 00:58:47 |
(Shouts) |
| 00:58:50 |
Open the door. Open the door! |
| 00:58:56 |
Come on, come on. |
| 00:58:57 |
- Put in the key! |
| 00:59:02 |
Aaahh! |
| 00:59:07 |
- Bill! |
| 00:59:10 |
- Zak! |
| 00:59:17 |
This way. |
| 00:59:20 |
Easy. Careful, careful. |
| 00:59:22 |
That way. |
| 00:59:27 |
(Gasping and coughing) |
| 00:59:33 |
- You all right? |
| 00:59:39 |
- Where did you lot come from? |
| 00:59:41 |
- It was like a tidal wave! |
| 00:59:45 |
I'm afraid it's a lot worse than that. |
| 00:59:48 |
- Come on, we have to go! Run! |
| 00:59:51 |
(Rob) Let's go! Let's go! |
| 00:59:53 |
Run if you can. Come on! |
| 00:59:57 |
Quickly! |
| 01:00:07 |
- You OK? |
| 01:00:13 |
Mind yourself there. |
| 01:00:15 |
- They work here. |
| 01:00:19 |
- You OK? |
| 01:00:22 |
- I don't know. I'll go and have a look. |
| 01:00:25 |
OK. I'm having a look up there. |
| 01:00:31 |
Sam. Sam, wait up, wait up. |
| 01:00:38 |
(Bill) There's water coming in everywhere. |
| 01:01:01 |
The fire service guys have scoffed all the |
| 01:01:05 |
Tea. Coffee. |
| 01:01:11 |
They're damn smart girls, ma'am. |
| 01:01:19 |
One variable can throw |
| 01:01:22 |
- Keith... - The worst storm |
| 01:01:26 |
Keith, don't torture yourself. |
| 01:01:30 |
People make mistakes everyday |
| 01:01:36 |
- Maybe thousands of them. |
| 01:01:39 |
No one could've predicted this, nobody. |
| 01:01:42 |
We've got to keep it together. |
| 01:01:49 |
All right. Look. |
| 01:01:52 |
I think I've got a bit of a plan. |
| 01:01:55 |
If memory serves me, about |
| 01:01:58 |
on the other side, there's |
| 01:02:00 |
If it's not flooded we could perhaps |
| 01:02:05 |
During the Blitz, |
| 01:02:06 |
hundreds of people would come down |
| 01:02:10 |
Government put up these massive |
| 01:02:14 |
Sealed them in from the explosives. |
| 01:02:16 |
There's gotta be one |
| 01:02:18 |
They're under something |
| 01:02:21 |
If we can find it, get it closed, |
| 01:02:23 |
it could buy us enough time to get in |
| 01:02:26 |
- Yeah. |
| 01:02:33 |
(Rushing water) |
| 01:02:40 |
Run! Run! |
| 01:02:58 |
This way, come on! Come on! |
| 01:03:02 |
Run! Keep going! Keep going! |
| 01:03:07 |
We've gotta find a latch |
| 01:03:12 |
That's it! |
| 01:03:18 |
Give me a hand! |
| 01:03:21 |
Give me a hand! Come on! That's it! |
| 01:03:25 |
Go on, mate! |
| 01:03:30 |
(Bill) Get it closed! |
| 01:03:34 |
It's coming again! |
| 01:03:36 |
- That's it! |
| 01:03:39 |
Bill! |
| 01:03:41 |
(Screams) |
| 01:03:43 |
(Zak) Don't let go of me! |
| 01:03:54 |
(Zak) Hold it open! |
| 01:03:57 |
Don't let go! |
| 01:04:06 |
Now hold on! |
| 01:04:10 |
Bill! |
| 01:04:16 |
(Gasping) |
| 01:04:44 |
(Groans) |
| 01:05:12 |
(Sobs) |
| 01:05:34 |
- Hey, you all right? |
| 01:05:36 |
- I think I found a way out. |
| 01:05:48 |
So this must be what Bill's talking about. |
| 01:05:54 |
Where is Bill? |
| 01:06:09 |
Commissioner Nash. The latest indications |
| 01:06:12 |
It's heading south. |
| 01:06:14 |
That's not the point. The crucial issue is |
| 01:06:19 |
That's what I'm saying. No storm, no surge. |
| 01:06:21 |
A surge this powerful will maintain |
| 01:06:25 |
- What do you mean? - It could |
| 01:06:29 |
We haven't seen the worst of it? |
| 01:06:31 |
All of those people at the safety |
| 01:06:35 |
are at high risk. |
| 01:06:46 |
Do you see that, Mr Hopkins? |
| 01:06:49 |
That's just two people. |
| 01:06:52 |
There are countless others |
| 01:06:55 |
on the accuracy of your |
| 01:07:07 |
Keith. |
| 01:07:13 |
- You all right? |
| 01:07:17 |
- You'll have to climb. You're not safe |
| 01:07:22 |
- You can do this. |
| 01:07:25 |
- You will follow me and you're |
| 01:07:29 |
All right. |
| 01:07:32 |
This is crazy. If one of us slips... |
| 01:07:42 |
By my calculations, the water will be |
| 01:07:46 |
but only one or two feet |
| 01:07:49 |
So these are the roads |
| 01:07:53 |
to get survivors to Greenwich Park |
| 01:07:57 |
So these are our key |
| 01:07:59 |
But if these are our only |
| 01:08:01 |
land-based search and rescue in these other |
| 01:08:06 |
I need more air support. |
| 01:08:08 |
All our air support is already deployed. |
| 01:08:13 |
They're already flying |
| 01:08:16 |
My guys aren't overstretched. |
| 01:08:18 |
You can't expect miracles from us |
| 01:08:27 |
Would you excuse me a moment? |
| 01:08:31 |
Johnson, take over. |
| 01:08:55 |
Hey! |
| 01:08:57 |
Keep your eyes on me. |
| 01:09:14 |
You're doing great. |
| 01:09:17 |
Look at me. |
| 01:09:23 |
We're doing well. |
| 01:09:25 |
I can see the end. |
| 01:09:32 |
What's going on? |
| 01:09:35 |
Zak! Zak! |
| 01:09:37 |
Zak! |
| 01:09:39 |
Give me your hand. |
| 01:09:41 |
Aagh! |
| 01:09:44 |
Take my hand. |
| 01:09:46 |
Grab it. |
| 01:09:56 |
(Grunts) |
| 01:10:27 |
(Man) Can you see anything there? |
| 01:10:35 |
- Phone. |
| 01:10:41 |
- (Dialling tone) |
| 01:10:46 |
- (Dialling tone) |
| 01:11:22 |
Hello? Hello? |
| 01:11:25 |
Can you put me through to Cobra? Yeah. |
| 01:11:29 |
Can you repeat that? |
| 01:11:31 |
Put them straight through. |
| 01:11:34 |
Ma'am. I think you'll want |
| 01:11:37 |
- Is it Claire and Emma? |
| 01:11:42 |
I'm sorry? |
| 01:11:45 |
Yes, um... that's fantastic news. |
| 01:11:49 |
Hang on one second. There's |
| 01:11:52 |
I'll pass you over. It's for you. |
| 01:11:56 |
Dad, it's you! |
| 01:11:59 |
Rob. |
| 01:12:02 |
Oh, thank God. Rob. |
| 01:12:04 |
Dad! I thought you were... |
| 01:12:07 |
I'm still here. I just can't believe |
| 01:12:11 |
We're in central London, |
| 01:12:14 |
- We? Is Sam with you? |
| 01:12:18 |
Rob, I may need your help. Stay where |
| 01:12:22 |
I'll make sure you're both |
| 01:12:25 |
I can't tell you how relieved I am. |
| 01:12:28 |
Me too. |
| 01:12:29 |
I need to speak to Sam. |
| 01:12:32 |
Yeah. Sam. |
| 01:12:34 |
Leonard! Oh, God, it's so |
| 01:12:38 |
- Sam about the Barrier... |
| 01:12:40 |
- Do you think it's still operational? |
| 01:12:44 |
Oh God, well, I can't imagine |
| 01:12:48 |
Is there any way we could |
| 01:12:51 |
Well, yeah. No, no, you could |
| 01:12:54 |
But I think access |
| 01:12:56 |
Sam. I think the Barrier |
| 01:12:59 |
What's the problem? |
| 01:13:01 |
But we need to rendezvous |
| 01:13:03 |
OK. |
| 01:13:06 |
Although the surge is still |
| 01:13:09 |
if we lower the Barrier, |
| 01:13:11 |
the water upriver can |
| 01:13:15 |
What we then need is a force which in effect |
| 01:13:22 |
- Is that something we can create? |
| 01:13:26 |
To stop the surge, I think we |
| 01:13:30 |
Let the whole lot flush downstream. |
| 01:13:33 |
We'll need exact timings |
| 01:13:36 |
so that the whole operation |
| 01:13:41 |
But if we open the sluice gates, |
| 01:13:43 |
wouldn't we be releasing even |
| 01:13:47 |
Of course, but if you get the |
| 01:13:50 |
we'll have the water from the sluice |
| 01:13:54 |
and the outgoing tide |
| 01:14:00 |
Hopkins? |
| 01:14:02 |
Where the hell's Hopkins? |
| 01:14:09 |
Get me the Waterways Manager. |
| 01:14:19 |
(Footsteps) |
| 01:14:28 |
- Zak. |
| 01:14:31 |
We're gonna go now. |
| 01:14:33 |
I want you to stay and |
| 01:14:37 |
OK? |
| 01:14:39 |
You'll be safe here. |
| 01:14:41 |
Someone will come soon. |
| 01:14:44 |
All right? |
| 01:14:46 |
Yeah. |
| 01:14:49 |
- Thank you. |
| 01:14:53 |
Thank you. |
| 01:15:02 |
Sam. |
| 01:15:15 |
Sir. Safety points are filling up. We're |
| 01:15:21 |
We'll need to requisition more transport |
| 01:15:24 |
Right, but make sure you |
| 01:15:26 |
Oh, I'm due to speak to |
| 01:15:29 |
Do we know yet how many |
| 01:15:32 |
The latest estimate is, um... 200,000, sir. |
| 01:15:55 |
(Sighs) |
| 01:15:57 |
It's Hopkins. |
| 01:16:00 |
- What about him? |
| 01:16:04 |
What? How could... |
| 01:16:09 |
- I should have seen this coming. |
| 01:16:13 |
I'm sorry. |
| 01:16:16 |
Oh... |
| 01:17:09 |
(Deputy Prime Minister) |
| 01:17:12 |
for those who are braving terrible |
| 01:17:21 |
This is just the start of a terrible |
| 01:17:25 |
Rescue services are |
| 01:17:29 |
and we have to face |
| 01:17:32 |
They're preparing us for the worst. |
| 01:17:35 |
Loss of life on this scale is something |
| 01:17:40 |
I believe London will survive, |
| 01:17:45 |
Thank you. |
| 01:17:46 |
Jesus, they don't think |
| 01:17:51 |
It's not as if they're gonna |
| 01:18:18 |
May I join you? |
| 01:18:23 |
Our only reason for being |
| 01:18:28 |
God knows how many |
| 01:18:33 |
we've failed... or I did. |
| 01:18:36 |
You've done everything |
| 01:18:39 |
Countless people owe their |
| 01:18:42 |
including me. |
| 01:18:47 |
You've seen the pictures. |
| 01:18:51 |
My girls are out there. |
| 01:18:53 |
I don't even know |
| 01:19:06 |
This all look s great, but in |
| 01:19:07 |
real life we're dealing with |
| 01:19:10 |
I don't care what your model says. There's |
| 01:19:15 |
when these two bodies of |
| 01:19:17 |
It's a hell of a risk, ma'am. |
| 01:19:20 |
And the chances of it working out |
| 01:19:23 |
must be a million to one. |
| 01:19:26 |
I've taken all known variables into |
| 01:19:31 |
I think my plan will work. |
| 01:19:34 |
Blind faith in computer models |
| 01:19:37 |
- Ignoring computer models... |
| 01:19:41 |
Low tide at the barrier is 10.45 am. |
| 01:19:48 |
For this to work we have to open |
| 01:19:54 |
The Barrier gates will have to be lowered |
| 01:19:58 |
The Barrier is not currently operational. |
| 01:20:01 |
Yeah, but I've spoken with |
| 01:20:03 |
There is a way of lowering the Barrier |
| 01:20:07 |
If the Barrier gates can't be lowered then |
| 01:20:17 |
We'd be gambling with |
| 01:20:25 |
So you're asking me to |
| 01:20:28 |
unleashing millions of |
| 01:20:30 |
before we know for sure |
| 01:20:35 |
How sure are you? |
| 01:20:38 |
I'm sending my son and daughter-in-law |
| 01:20:42 |
Does that answer your question? |
| 01:20:48 |
I need to brief the DPM before |
| 01:20:51 |
Ma'am. |
| 01:21:11 |
- (Samantha) How's it going? |
| 01:21:15 |
Anyway, I kind of, um... |
| 01:21:19 |
don't want us to be apart any more. |
| 01:21:32 |
Let's go. |
| 01:21:49 |
Dad! They found us! |
| 01:21:52 |
Help! |
| 01:21:54 |
(All) Help us! Help! Help! |
| 01:22:00 |
Help us! |
| 01:22:05 |
Makeshift messages on rooftops |
| 01:22:09 |
- are starting to appear all over London |
| 01:22:11 |
This outlines manpower on the sluice gates. |
| 01:22:16 |
when the Thames reached its banks. |
| 01:22:19 |
Just when we thought that |
| 01:22:22 |
thousands of people are holding |
| 01:22:28 |
Tens of thousands of people still don't |
| 01:22:32 |
But at least for now London |
| 01:22:36 |
as the monster surge that overwhelmed |
| 01:22:43 |
Help! Help! |
| 01:22:46 |
Sir? I need the go-ahead. |
| 01:22:51 |
I've already spoken to |
| 01:22:53 |
But I need to know, is |
| 01:22:56 |
I'm afraid so, or we do nothing. I'm |
| 01:23:01 |
There's no guarantees that this |
| 01:23:04 |
- But the key thing is we... |
| 01:23:07 |
With the high risk of failure, sir, |
| 01:23:11 |
Sir? |
| 01:23:13 |
We're out of options. |
| 01:23:19 |
(Leonard) Minister, I'll go |
| 01:23:34 |
Go ahead. |
| 01:23:47 |
Wait your turn. |
| 01:23:53 |
(Man) Please. |
| 01:24:03 |
Come on! Come on! |
| 01:24:06 |
All right! Keep moving! |
| 01:24:11 |
Move it. Move it. |
| 01:24:14 |
Move that way! |
| 01:24:18 |
- Ma'am! |
| 01:24:21 |
The girls have been picked up by a mobile |
| 01:24:26 |
Oh... |
| 01:24:30 |
Thank you. |
| 01:24:34 |
- I haven't lost my kids. |
| 01:25:27 |
It's good to see you, Dad. |
| 01:25:37 |
Let's go, let's go! |
| 01:25:43 |
Come on, get some effort in |
| 01:25:46 |
Give him a hand on there, come on. |
| 01:25:49 |
if we don't open |
| 01:25:51 |
our ability to manage this |
| 01:25:55 |
- In 2 hours this control centre will |
| 01:25:59 |
- Give me Professor Morrison. |
| 01:26:04 |
- Commissioner? - Professor |
| 01:26:07 |
- Are you sure? |
| 01:26:10 |
- Has Fuller downloaded the |
| 01:26:15 |
- We're counting on you, Leonard. |
| 01:26:22 |
What we're trying to do |
| 01:26:25 |
I'll take the risk, Dad. |
| 01:26:27 |
No one knows the Barrier |
| 01:26:31 |
I won't let anyone else |
| 01:26:35 |
Rob. |
| 01:26:37 |
- I know I haven't been much |
| 01:26:41 |
- I wasn't much of a husband |
| 01:26:44 |
It's obvious now why the |
| 01:26:49 |
I'm sorry I doubted you. |
| 01:28:03 |
This is where we are in the |
| 01:28:07 |
This is the room we need to get to. |
| 01:28:09 |
It houses the manual override which |
| 01:28:13 |
The problem is that this |
| 01:28:15 |
and there's a good chance that all |
| 01:28:19 |
What do you suggest? |
| 01:28:20 |
The sluice gates upriver have |
| 01:28:24 |
We need to drain the latch room to operate |
| 01:28:28 |
Now, even if we do make it |
| 01:28:33 |
the Barrier's anti-terrorist motors will |
| 01:28:38 |
The drainage system is only operable |
| 01:28:46 |
Whoever goes into this room |
| 01:28:49 |
before the door can be re-opened |
| 01:28:55 |
This is a death sentence. |
| 01:28:59 |
This is madness. We need a |
| 01:29:04 |
What do you suggest? |
| 01:29:06 |
There is only one option, ma'am. |
| 01:29:10 |
- We don't have the authority. |
| 01:29:27 |
Sam. I can't let you do this. |
| 01:29:31 |
Whatever happens on this Barrier |
| 01:29:35 |
- I have to. |
| 01:29:38 |
This is no longer a civilian responsibility. |
| 01:29:43 |
I need you both here |
| 01:29:48 |
I've made my decision. |
| 01:30:04 |
Commander. |
| 01:30:07 |
You're a brave man but we |
| 01:30:12 |
- You don't know this Barrier |
| 01:30:16 |
It makes sense. |
| 01:30:31 |
- Sam. |
| 01:30:33 |
- Listen. |
| 01:30:35 |
You know why. He doesn't know |
| 01:30:41 |
Rob, I'm asking you... |
| 01:30:50 |
It's our only choice. |
| 01:31:00 |
(Man) That means you |
| 01:31:03 |
Prime Minister, all our aircraft |
| 01:31:07 |
I must reiterate, time is of the essence. |
| 01:31:10 |
I don't need to be reminded of that. |
| 01:31:13 |
What is the status of the |
| 01:31:15 |
It's difficult to tell. We're having |
| 01:31:19 |
with the team on the ground. |
| 01:31:22 |
I don't want our handling of this crisis |
| 01:31:26 |
We are monitoring it minute by minute. |
| 01:31:28 |
Major General, your aircraft are to remain |
| 01:31:33 |
Deputy Prime Minister, |
| 01:32:01 |
No, don't. |
| 01:32:07 |
(Klaxon sounds) |
| 01:32:11 |
Dad! |
| 01:32:13 |
(Klaxon sounds) |
| 01:32:17 |
Dad! |
| 01:32:19 |
- (Knocking) |
| 01:32:28 |
Dad! |
| 01:33:04 |
Commissioner, the Prime Minister for you. |
| 01:33:08 |
- Prime Minister. |
| 01:33:11 |
Surge waters are continuing |
| 01:33:15 |
Their momentum has slowed |
| 01:33:18 |
and further potential loss of life... |
| 01:33:20 |
at Chelsea, Clapham, Hammersmith |
| 01:33:24 |
And the sluice gate waters |
| 01:33:26 |
Current estimates suggest |
| 01:33:28 |
the confluence between |
| 01:33:31 |
and the surge in less |
| 01:33:33 |
It's not enough Commissioner |
| 01:33:52 |
Ma'am. Commander Bryant's |
| 01:33:55 |
- Good. - Signal's |
| 01:33:58 |
- Commissioner Nash, are |
| 01:34:02 |
We're under pressure from |
| 01:34:06 |
Unless you can give me |
| 01:34:08 |
we have less than ten minutes before |
| 01:34:11 |
and destroy the Barrier. |
| 01:34:14 |
Ma'am, Professor Morrison is currently |
| 01:34:19 |
He may need more |
| 01:34:20 |
- I need an exact time. |
| 01:34:23 |
- You don't know when he'll be back? |
| 01:34:27 |
Professor Morrison won't be coming back. |
| 01:34:54 |
OK, let's go. |
| 01:35:00 |
Help me prime these gates. |
| 01:35:11 |
We've begun priming the gates. As soon |
| 01:35:16 |
- ( Nash) Sam |
| 01:35:17 |
- The Prime Minister. |
| 01:35:23 |
I'm through to the Barrier. They have |
| 01:35:27 |
Prime Minister, we need to get |
| 01:35:29 |
We're running out of time. |
| 01:35:32 |
Good God! |
| 01:35:41 |
(Ashncroft) We need a decision |
| 01:35:43 |
Major General, you have my |
| 01:35:47 |
(Nash) What!? |
| 01:35:50 |
We have a go. You're |
| 01:35:53 |
(Man) We're clear for takeoff. |
| 01:36:00 |
Sam, you all have to get |
| 01:36:03 |
It's too late ma'am. |
| 01:36:06 |
- Come on. |
| 01:36:13 |
(Rob) That's it. |
| 01:36:18 |
Follow me. |
| 01:36:24 |
Ahh! |
| 01:36:26 |
(Rapid beeping) |
| 01:36:31 |
OK. |
| 01:36:37 |
(Pilot) Cobra 2, we're minutes |
| 01:36:43 |
(Beeps) |
| 01:36:49 |
(Klaxon) |
| 01:36:59 |
Commissioner Nash, status report. - Bear |
| 01:37:06 |
(Klaxon) |
| 01:37:19 |
- Barrier. |
| 01:37:21 |
- The gates are opening! They've done it. |
| 01:37:24 |
- Stand them down, Ashcroft. |
| 01:37:28 |
(Pilot) Disengage! Abort! Abort now! |
| 01:38:11 |
Oh... |
| 01:38:38 |
- Stand back there, please. |
| 01:38:41 |
(Laughter) |
| 01:38:52 |
(Helicopter blades whir) |
| 01:39:28 |
(Whispers) Thank you. |
| 01:39:42 |
He left you this. |
| 01:39:55 |
He loved you. |
| 01:40:24 |
I'm sorry, Dad. |
| 01:40:40 |
Take my father home. |
