Noughts + Crosses (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
Everybody, come together.
Simmer down, guys!
One hundred years and still thriving.
All down to me.
No, seriously, guys, one hundred years.
36,500 papers...
dominating the homes and minds
of a nation.
Yes!
- So, to us...
- To us!
...for making the most read publication
in the country.
- Yes!
- Now... let's party!
And, guys, listen.
I need everybody here
first thing tomorrow morning,
compos mentis, no excuses, yeah?
Come on, now.
Leave him, that's enough!
Let's go.
Let's go!
Let's go!
Get down!
Get down!
What are you playing at?
You're gonna get us all killed!
- Right.
- Over the bonnet!
Please, just hear me out
before you leave.
Okene-Aprica University is one of
the most prestigious in the world.
Of course, you've got the perfect right
just to make your own decisions.
But do it with thought.
Not as a reaction
to some outside silliness.
Are you done?
I just had to say my bit.
The fact that you...
you have no idea why I can't go
to university is exactly why I can't go.
I wanted to learn about the world, Baba.
I wanted to be better,
I wanted to be clever, just like you.
But it's through you now that I see
that I'm not gonna get that there.
You cannot even call this
”outside silliness” what it really is.
Baba, he's your son.
He's...
It's...
I guess I just had to say my bit.
Sephy...
Look, I know you and Mama are leaving
and what Baba did was wrong.
Yes. But it's in the past.
- You know, he's been a good father.
- Yeah. Just not to all his children.
Don't you think
he has enough to deal with?
Your boyfriend tearing the city up.
I'm your sister.
And I am not as stupid
as everyone assumes.
I'm sorry...
for not confiding in you.
It's fine.
I never would have understood.
Yeah, well, it's over now, anyway.
So...
Congratulations on graduating.
We should get going.
You know,
it's a chance Callum will never get now.
- It's a chance he threw away.
- You made sure he failed.
You know, you should go to uni.
- Go on, get out of here.
- It's not just about me any more.
It's been a month since the conviction
and subsequent death in custody
of LM bomber Ryan McGregor.
But last night's attack
on the Ohene Standard Newspaper
is believed to be part of the ongoing
retaliation campaign by that group.
The assault, which left
the paper's editor badly beaten
and saw one terrorist
taken into custody,
was harshly criticised.
Nicola's dead.
They killed her.
- I don't believe it.
- Injuries... incompatible with life.
- No, we have to see her body.
- She's gone, Jude.
- It's like Danny all over again.
- Yes, it is.
But remember what Danny's death did.
It set the Noughts on fire.
We started to fight back.
Now, we just have to see it through.
And then they don't die for nothing.
Now, we keep fighting.
We keep fighting.
It's an eye for an eye. They take
one of ours, we take one of theirs.
Yes! Yes!
I used to take the boys to work with me
sometimes in the summer.
They look happy.
They were always happy
when they were together.
Not a single paper
will publish my story.
I should go home.
You have enough to worry about.
No, please, don't go.
Give it a bit more time.
People online
are starting to believe you.
- Bawo, Kolawale.
- Hey...
”Another day, another senseless attack.”
I know I'm just another statistic.
I mean, I write the statistics.
- But when it's you, it does feel...
- It's savagery.
It's out-and-out savagery.
But I suppose, to you, it's no surprise.
Noughts claiming to be outraged by a
paper calling them thugs and criminals
and behaving like thugs and criminals.
You tell the truth
and the world sees that.
One of the culprits
has already been dealt with.
And as for the rest, they...
they will be hunted down.
Mr Hadley, with all due respect...
what do you want?
There's this... There's a rumour
gaining traction online.
I need it stopped.
I need him... stopped.
You could have stayed here.
It's not exactly Hadley standards,
but...
Yaro could have had the couch,
you could have had the boys' room.
But you've done enough running round
after me.
I've booked a hotel.
For now, till I work out a plan.
Where is he?
Yaro?
He's had a call from a journalist.
Finally, a newspaper prepared
to print the story.
I didn't mean Yaro.
Sephy...?
Are you OK, love?
Have you seen the news?
The CCTV footage.
That isn't Callum.
Isn't it?
Then, where is he?
Your mama says you've been sick
a lot recently.
- Is this what I think it is?
- No.
No, no, no.
No.
Well, let me know if you want anything.
Hello?
Mama...
I just wanted to give you this.
I don't want hand-outs from Jack Dorn.
- You need to eat.
- I'd rather starve.
I should go.
They'll know to watch you.
You need to talk to Sephy.
She's got things that she needs
to talk to you about.
No.
Brave enough to throw a bat around,
but not to talk to the woman you love?
I don't love her.
Do you remember when we took that train
out to the countryside?
And you and Jude climbed trees
for hours.
Baba had this dream that, one day,
we'd move there.
Do you remember that, Cal?
It never happened, though, did it?
We could still try.
We could.
Get away from everything.
Everyone.
Stories like that...
they only work
when you don't know any better.
That's not our life.
Not now, anyway.
- Just keep the money.
- Will you please talk to Sephy?
Why isn't anything happening?
- Are you tired, boys?
- Leave it, Jude.
No, no, let's sleep.
Let's forget about Nicola.
- Just like Danny.
- I said leave it.
You think you are the only one
haunted by Danny's face,
by Baba and Nicola?
You don't get to own the anger
or the hate. Because we all feel it.
So we don't sit, crying over it.
They all deserve better.
We're taking on Kamal.
I think she's making a big mistake.
That university is the best
in the world. We want that for her.
Help me... as a co-parent.
- If that's all I have left.
- Kamal... Don't.
Everything I've built,
I've built for the three of you.
You built it for yourself. You built
the walls to keep the truth out.
It was over.
It didn't mean anything to me any more.
And still with the lies.
I read the Ohene Standard headline.
”Mentally unstable halfer
trying to undermine the Prime Minister
”is exposed
to have terrorist connections.”
By that, you mean the woman
who raised our children?
Jasmine, come on!
Do I work there?
Do I write these articles?
No.
And as Prime Minister
I imagine you having zero influence.
Jasmine Hadley?
See how Kamal feels
when someone he cares about is captured.
- We make him suffer.
- We make demands.
We keep the heat up.
And soon enough Albion
will seem more trouble than it's worth.
Aprica will declare it independent.
Without the might of the motherland
behind them,
the Crosses will be exposed
for what they are,
a corrupt minority whose time is up.
And the Noughts take back the power.
What are you thinking?
The most protected family
in the country.
They each have their own security.
Plus, the security of the house.
- It's dangerous.
- If you can't do it, bruv, just say.
I've always wondered how you can
fully support the cause after your...
your friendship with Sephy Hadley.
There is no friendship.
It's dead.
The only thing left for me is the cause.
So, don't ever doubt me.
Have you still got her number?
Then we still have access.
Forget the wife.
We go for the daughter.
Start packing, we're moving on.
They wanted me to tell the truth.
It was a brave thing to do, Yaro.
But there is no truth.
There are just stories.
And the people with power
gets to choose how to tell them,
who the heroes and villains are.
- No. I will get him to put this right.
- You won't.
I'm a halfer.
Distrusted by everyone.
Perfect villain material.
Wait, where are you going?
There's nothing left for me here, Sephy.
Just come with us to the hotel, Yaro.
The game is over.
Put those boxes over there.
Come on, stack them up.
It's a college friend.
I should go.
I missed you.
Same.
I was really hurt
when you left me and...
Look...
there's something I need to tell you.
- Shh, just...
- What? No.
- No, no, no.
- Don't. Please.
No, no, I need to...
Get her!
- Come here.
- No, no!
Shut up!
Please...
Please.
Callum, please...
Is that proof enough of my loyalty?
Don't you forget what all this is for.
- Who this is for.
- You don't need to remind me.
- Any phones on her?
- She's clean.
The thing that Kamal Hadley
most values in the world...
right here.
That, my friends...
is power.
Get to work..
Now, now...
Sit.
Right, where's the burner?
Cast your eyes over that.
Hold up the paper.
Higher.
OK, now, read that.
Baba...
Baba, I have been kidnapped.
It's not cash.
That offer's long gone.
But I do need you out of Albion.
Don't worry.
I was going anyway.
Didn't you owe it to my mama...
to be honest,
instead of crucifying her son
in the national press?
Yaro...
decisions were made a long time ago
that can't be undone.
We just have to live with that.
You still don't get it, do you?
I exist.
No matter where you send me.
- Who is this?
- I have something of yours.
Something you might want back.
Time to do business again.
- Have either of you seen Sephy today?
- No.
Baba, what's going on?
What's happening?
Right, let's go.
- Whoa, whoa, where are you going?
- Dorn wants us to sort the drop.
Do a recce for a handover point.
- You're staying here with her.
- I ain't no baby-sitter.
Lads, give us a sec.
- Jude, you wanted me to do this job.
- Yes, and you've done it.
Well done. Or is that not enough?
Do you need me to give you more praise?
- We're on the same side.
- No, this is my side. I brought you in.
Who are we fighting here,
Crosses or ourselves?
Crosses! Now, just do the job.
Or are you scared?
- Scared of what?
- Of what she is to you.
She's nothing.
She's nothing!
She's nothing.
She's nothing.
Yes, I know, it is.
It is very late.
I was just hoping that...
Yes, I'm sorry to disturb you.
Goodbye.
Kamal...
- Is she alive?
- Yes, yes.
- Where?
- I don't know.
But we'll find her.
Mrs Hadley,
we're working under the assumption
- that the phone call is real, but...
- What phone call?
- I received a call.
- From who?
Why would they even have your number?
I have no idea how they...
how they got to us.
We need a list of anyone you think
might want to harm you or your family.
Intelligence is working on
the political threats, but if...
This is the work of the LM.
Who else would do this?
- We are following that led, sir.
- There is only one lead to follow.
We have to be open
for all possibilities.
The first few hours are vital.
We'll still need a list
of anyone you think...
I'm the Prime Minister!
Find her!
The last place she's tracked to
is Vauxhall Bridge.
We've found her phone
and a second phone.
She's made numerous calls
to Callum McGregor.
Call Meggie.
Get her here.
Baba, I have been kidnapped.
And my life is in danger.
I've not been hurt... yet.
But I don't know for how much longer
that's going to be the case.
The people holding me
are asking for £1,000,000...
and for you to give up your position
as Prime Minister.
It's just me and you.
And you hate it.
Or you love it.
You finally get to cause my family
the most amount of pain.
- And me.
- This isn't about you.
Tell me you have an IP address.
They're bouncing around multiple servers
- but the provider's on it.
- Mr Hadley...
Callum would never do this.
God, he'd protect Sephy with his life!
You know that.
Take Mrs McGregor's phone.
Her boys may have been in contact.
And she is not allowed
to leave the premises.
We will check on all devices.
But, of course, we have to check
the legitimacy of the video first.
You should probably just concentrate
on bringing my child back safely!
You have to step down, Kamal.
Mr Hadley, you are Prime Minister.
You cannot be seen in any way
to be negotiating with terrorists,
to give in to their demands.
This is a personal and private matter.
And it stays that way.
Resign. Now.
I don't care about your career.
I don't care about the future of Albion.
This is our daughter.
And we don't take chances
with our daughter's life.
I know you're there.
Just keep quiet.
How could you do this?
After everything that we've...?
I said, keep quiet.
It's time for Kamal to take orders,
for a change.
If he co-operates, then there's
no need for anyone to get hurt.
This wasn't how you were going
to change the world, Callum.
Well, maybe it's the only way left.
No.
It's a choice you're making.
We're interrupting
our current programming
for an announcement from Parliament.
The Prime Minister, Kamal Hadley,
has announced he is resigning from
his post with immediate effect
to focus on his family.
In light of recent events...
I've made the difficult decision
to step down as Prime Minister.
Yes, my time in office has been short.
Yes, this is far from ideal.
But I can only prioritise my family
at this time,
as I give over the reins to someone
who is willing to lead the country
with the policies our nation deserves.
God bless Albion.
I heard the news.
They're gonna kill me.
I've pretty much seen everyone's face.
And Dorn's ruthless.
You think anyone's gonna let me go?
None of this is about you.
- Look, I'm sorry, but...
- No, save your breath.
OK. As long as you know,
when it come to it, I want you to do it.
Don't be fooled.
Cos I could kill you if I needed to.
Then, do it.
This is either you...
or it isn't.
You're pathetic.
As if I could have ever thought
I was in love with you.
Oh, I knew it was never love.
- What?
- An experiment.
Yeah, that's what Kamal called it.
You spoke to my baba?
So good you might have even
persuaded yourself.
- I am not your enemy.
- No, you're worse.
Standing by. Watching.
Doing nothing.
All the while claiming that you love me.
So, yeah...
maybe I could kill you.
Cos what good are you to this world?
Could you kill your own child, then?
In light of recent events,
I have made the difficult decision,
to step down as Prime Minister.
It was the right thing to do, Baba.
This is far from ideal...
And we will get her back.
I believe in you.
I'm not sure
how well-founded your faith is...
but I'm very grateful for it.
Bowoni, sir.
I just want to say...
if there is anything I can do to help,
anything at all...
I will lay down my life f
or your daughters.
No, no.
Thank you, Lekan.
I really appreciate your...
your loyalty to my family.
- But I've got this.
- Look, Baba... Take Lekan.
He's younger and fitter than you,
he's a trained soldier.
Yes.
Mr Hadley. We're set.
It's time to go.
You should never have brought him here,
Meggie...
all those years ago.
If they hadn't become friends, they...
Don't do that!
You have no idea what it's like
sitting here
and not knowing
if you will ever see your child again.
Don't I?
You've seen all those police, all armed.
Who do you think their guns
are gonna be pointing at?
Then they will get what they deserve.
Jas, I know...
he would never lay a finger on her.
- Never.
- That's the boy you remember.
But what about the man he's become?
Do you really know what he's capable of?
My boys have had...
everything taken away from them,
everything.
So, now they steal
the most precious thing we have?
And, what, that's fair?
Don't leave. You can't leave.
The police said you have to stay here.
I said, don't leave!
Please...
You're right.
I don't know what's become of my sons
or what they're capable of.
But you saw what I saw.
All the signs where there.
And if Callum knew that, he would...
he would protect Sephy.
- I just know that.
- What signs?
Of what?
That she's pregnant.
That history is repeating itself.
Well, maybe this time
it'll be different.
Is it true?
- You're pregnant?
- You think I'd lie about that?
It's mine?
No.
It's mine.
Mine and Callum McGregor's.
But he's not here.
- You're having my baby?
- You're not hearing me.
It's not yours.
The Callum that I knew
was full of love...
and not hate.
He wanted to make things better...
not threaten lives.
Sephy...
It's me, I'm here.
I'm right here.
And I want you.
I want our child.
This world, any world, I want it.
I just couldn't see a future.
I thought the LM and all this
would give me purpose, but...
I've been so lonely.
Mr Hadley...
Mr Hadley?
- Are you all right?
- Yes. And, you, go ahead.
Right, let's do this.
So, you, keep watch.
- As people make a move...
- We've got you covered.
He won't try anything.
Not till he sees his daughter.
- Which he won't.
- Not until we're clear.
We'll leave her tied up until we've
had enough time to get out and then...
- Well, they'll find her eventually.
- No, we get rid of her, Jude.
An opportunity to show the Crosses
what they're dealing with.
I was instructed to go alone.
Nobody move a muscle
until I see my daughter.
And not one single shot is to be fired
until I have her back safely with me.
Thank you.
Mr Hadley...
- I'll go alone.
- Are you sure?
Yeah.
- To your holding positions!
- Move out!
I assume that's everything we asked for.
- Where's my daughter?
- I ask the questions, Kamal.
Yes, it's everything you asked for.
I saw your resignation.
Whatever it takes to get my child back.
Whatever it takes
to get my country back.
Aren't you Crosses getting tired
of this savage little backwater yet?
I can't see Aprica wanting to prop it up
for much longer.
Where does that leave you, hey?
Outnumbered.
- Wait here.
- Give me my daughter.
You don't get to control me.
I've done as instructed.
I know the cavalry's waiting
in the wings.
I know that they're gonna sweep in
the second that you have Sephy.
So...
you wait.
You know what happens to those who wait.
All good things come to them.
And those that don't...
their daughters die.
No, no, no! What are you doing?
They haven't released her yet.
- He said to wait.
- She's not coming back.
We need to find them and her, now!
Now!
Blue team, go!
Cal...
- What's going on?
- We have to get out of here.
We have to close down the cell,
cos he wants us to...
- He wants us to...
- What?
We should never have done this.
Well, I had to do something.
I had to be remembered for something.
Otherwise what did he die for?
- Who?
- Danny and Baba.
Sephy, let's go.
Come on.
He wants us to get rid of the hostage.
And you should have done it by now.
Or did you run ahead
for some other reason?
Down there.
What do we do?
Tell me what to do.
You want to do something?
You want to be something?
No. No.
An eye for an eye.
Isn't that what we agreed?
Just follow through with the plan.
For Nicola and your dad.
Just pull the trigger.
Remember who she is.
You can do it.
No sense of the bigger picture.
The same with Danny's death.
You sit in the hospital,
pathetically waiting,
hoping that he's gonna live.
What, and you wanted him to die?
I wanted change.
You were with him when he died.
- You were there.
- Finally!
The sound of a penny dropping
really, really slowly.
Danny's death was a game-changer.
Yours will be, too.
What Cross is gonna want to bring
their kids up in a barbaric country
where even the Prime Minister's daughter
gets shot in the head?
The cause has to be bigger
than any one life.
But not yours.
Never yours.
Callum, run.
Sephy, go. Just go.
Are you turning on your own kind, Jude?
- Jude, come on!
- Callum, run!
Sephy?
- Baba?
- Sephy?
Sephy, go to him.
- What are you gonna do?
- Listen, don't think about me.
- Think about that baby.
- I can't!
Just go! Please!
Persephone, get back.
I don't know which is
the greater punishment.
To take your life...
or to have you spend the rest
of your days in a 12-by-8
thinking about your mistake.
- No!
- Persephone... What are you doing?
I'm trying to protect you.
- I'm trying to protect you.
- Baba...
You are threatening my entire world.
No...!
Sephy...
- Sephy...
- I love you.
No.
Sephy's alive.
And I believe that she's safe.
- I don't understand.
- Where is she?
She's with Callum.
I tried to save her, but when...
I couldn't.
I tried, Jasmine.
I really... I really did.
She chose to stay with Callum.
You know, they chose to stay together.
She loves him, Kamal.
Do you still not get it?
And she's having his child.
And before you say a word...
unlike Yaro...
I'm going to help them.
And whether you join me or not...
is up to you.
- Hello?
- Mama...
Cal!
Oh, it's so lovely...
..to hear your voice.
Did you hear from Jude?
Not yet, love.
You know he saved our lives?
He'll be in touch, Cal.
Where are you, my sweetheart?
I can't tell you.
Or anyone.
But we're safe...
away from everybody.
Is that birds singing I can hear?
Yeah.
And Sephy sends her love.
- So, what next?
- We keep on running.
- We keep on hiding.
- They'll kill you...
if they catch us.
So, we don't get caught.

One hundred years and still thriving.
All down to me.
No, seriously, guys, one hundred years.
36,500 papers...
dominating the homes and minds
of a nation.
Yes!
- So, to us...
- To us!
...for making the most read publication
in the country.
- Yes!
- Now... let's party!
And, guys, listen.
I need everybody here

compos mentis, no excuses, yeah?
Come on, now.
Leave him, that's enough!
Let's go.
Let's go!
Let's go!
Get down!
Get down!
What are you playing at?
You're gonna get us all killed!
- Right.
- Over the bonnet!
Please, just hear me out
before you leave.
Okene-Aprica University is one of
the most prestigious in the world.
Of course, you've got the perfect right
just to make your own decisions.
But do it with thought.
Not as a reaction
to some outside silliness.
Are you done?
I just had to say my bit.
The fact that you...
you have no idea why I can't go
to university is exactly why I can't go.
I wanted to learn about the world, Baba.
I wanted to be better,
I wanted to be clever, just like you.
But it's through you now that I see
that I'm not gonna get that there.
You cannot even call this
”outside silliness” what it really is.
Baba, he's your son.
He's...
It's...
I guess I just had to say my bit.
Sephy...
Look, I know you and Mama are leaving
and what Baba did was wrong.
Yes. But it's in the past.
- You know, he's been a good father.
- Yeah. Just not to all his children.
Don't you think
he has enough to deal with?
Your boyfriend tearing the city up.
I'm your sister.
And I am not as stupid
as everyone assumes.
I'm sorry...
for not confiding in you.
It's fine.
I never would have understood.
Yeah, well, it's over now, anyway.
So...
Congratulations on graduating.
We should get going.
You know,
it's a chance Callum will never get now.
- It's a chance he threw away.
- You made sure he failed.
You know, you should go to uni.
- Go on, get out of here.
- It's not just about me any more.
It's been a month since the conviction
and subsequent death in custody
of LM bomber Ryan McGregor.
But last night's attack
on the Ohene Standard Newspaper
is believed to be part of the ongoing
retaliation campaign by that group.
The assault, which left
the paper's editor badly beaten
and saw one terrorist
taken into custody,
was harshly criticised.
Nicola's dead.
They killed her.
- I don't believe it.
- Injuries... incompatible with life.
- No, we have to see her body.
- She's gone, Jude.
- It's like Danny all over again.
- Yes, it is.
But remember what Danny's death did.
It set the Noughts on fire.
We started to fight back.
Now, we just have to see it through.
And then they don't die for nothing.
Now, we keep fighting.
We keep fighting.
It's an eye for an eye. They take
one of ours, we take one of theirs.
Yes! Yes!
I used to take the boys to work with me
sometimes in the summer.
They look happy.
They were always happy
when they were together.
Not a single paper
will publish my story.
I should go home.
You have enough to worry about.
No, please, don't go.
Give it a bit more time.
People online
are starting to believe you.
- Bawo, Kolawale.
- Hey...
”Another day, another senseless attack.”
I know I'm just another statistic.
I mean, I write the statistics.
- But when it's you, it does feel...
- It's savagery.
It's out-and-out savagery.
But I suppose, to you, it's no surprise.
Noughts claiming to be outraged by a
paper calling them thugs and criminals
and behaving like thugs and criminals.
You tell the truth
and the world sees that.
One of the culprits
has already been dealt with.
And as for the rest, they...
they will be hunted down.
Mr Hadley, with all due respect...
what do you want?
There's this... There's a rumour
gaining traction online.
I need it stopped.
I need him... stopped.
You could have stayed here.
It's not exactly Hadley standards,
but...
Yaro could have had the couch,
you could have had the boys' room.
But you've done enough running round
after me.
I've booked a hotel.
For now, till I work out a plan.
Where is he?
Yaro?
He's had a call from a journalist.
Finally, a newspaper prepared
to print the story.
I didn't mean Yaro.
Sephy...?
Are you OK, love?
Have you seen the news?
The CCTV footage.
That isn't Callum.
Isn't it?
Then, where is he?
Your mama says you've been sick
a lot recently.
- Is this what I think it is?
- No.
No, no, no.
No.
Well, let me know if you want anything.
Hello?
Mama...
I just wanted to give you this.
I don't want hand-outs from Jack Dorn.
- You need to eat.
- I'd rather starve.
I should go.
They'll know to watch you.
You need to talk to Sephy.
She's got things that she needs
to talk to you about.
No.
Brave enough to throw a bat around,
but not to talk to the woman you love?
I don't love her.
Do you remember when we took that train
out to the countryside?
And you and Jude climbed trees
for hours.
Baba had this dream that, one day,
we'd move there.
Do you remember that, Cal?
It never happened, though, did it?
We could still try.
We could.
Get away from everything.
Everyone.
Stories like that...
they only work
when you don't know any better.
That's not our life.
Not now, anyway.
- Just keep the money.
- Will you please talk to Sephy?
Why isn't anything happening?
- Are you tired, boys?
- Leave it, Jude.
No, no, let's sleep.
Let's forget about Nicola.
- Just like Danny.
- I said leave it.
You think you are the only one
haunted by Danny's face,
by Baba and Nicola?
You don't get to own the anger
or the hate. Because we all feel it.
So we don't sit, crying over it.
They all deserve better.
We're taking on Kamal.
I think she's making a big mistake.
That university is the best
in the world. We want that for her.
Help me... as a co-parent.
- If that's all I have left.
- Kamal... Don't.
Everything I've built,
I've built for the three of you.
You built it for yourself. You built
the walls to keep the truth out.
It was over.
It didn't mean anything to me any more.
And still with the lies.
I read the Ohene Standard headline.
”Mentally unstable halfer
trying to undermine the Prime Minister
”is exposed
to have terrorist connections.”
By that, you mean the woman
who raised our children?
Jasmine, come on!
Do I work there?
Do I write these articles?
No.
And as Prime Minister
I imagine you having zero influence.
Jasmine Hadley?
See how Kamal feels
when someone he cares about is captured.
- We make him suffer.
- We make demands.
We keep the heat up.
And soon enough Albion
will seem more trouble than it's worth.
Aprica will declare it independent.
Without the might of the motherland
behind them,
the Crosses will be exposed
for what they are,
a corrupt minority whose time is up.
And the Noughts take back the power.
What are you thinking?
The most protected family
in the country.
They each have their own security.
Plus, the security of the house.
- It's dangerous.
- If you can't do it, bruv, just say.
I've always wondered how you can
fully support the cause after your...
your friendship with Sephy Hadley.
There is no friendship.
It's dead.
The only thing left for me is the cause.
So, don't ever doubt me.
Have you still got her number?
Then we still have access.
Forget the wife.
We go for the daughter.
Start packing, we're moving on.
They wanted me to tell the truth.
It was a brave thing to do, Yaro.
But there is no truth.
There are just stories.
And the people with power
gets to choose how to tell them,
who the heroes and villains are.
- No. I will get him to put this right.
- You won't.
I'm a halfer.
Distrusted by everyone.
Perfect villain material.
Wait, where are you going?
There's nothing left for me here, Sephy.
Just come with us to the hotel, Yaro.
The game is over.
Put those boxes over there.
Come on, stack them up.
It's a college friend.
I should go.
I missed you.
Same.
I was really hurt
when you left me and...
Look...
there's something I need to tell you.
- Shh, just...
- What? No.
- No, no, no.
- Don't. Please.
No, no, I need to...
Get her!
- Come here.
- No, no!
Shut up!
Please...
Please.
Callum, please...
Is that proof enough of my loyalty?
Don't you forget what all this is for.
- Who this is for.
- You don't need to remind me.
- Any phones on her?
- She's clean.
The thing that Kamal Hadley
most values in the world...
right here.
That, my friends...
is power.
Get to work..
Now, now...
Sit.
Right, where's the burner?
Cast your eyes over that.
Hold up the paper.
Higher.
OK, now, read that.
Baba...
Baba, I have been kidnapped.
It's not cash.
That offer's long gone.
But I do need you out of Albion.
Don't worry.
I was going anyway.
Didn't you owe it to my mama...
to be honest,
instead of crucifying her son
in the national press?
Yaro...
decisions were made a long time ago
that can't be undone.
We just have to live with that.
You still don't get it, do you?
I exist.
No matter where you send me.
- Who is this?
- I have something of yours.
Something you might want back.
Time to do business again.
- Have either of you seen Sephy today?
- No.
Baba, what's going on?
What's happening?
Right, let's go.
- Whoa, whoa, where are you going?
- Dorn wants us to sort the drop.
Do a recce for a handover point.
- You're staying here with her.
- I ain't no baby-sitter.
Lads, give us a sec.
- Jude, you wanted me to do this job.
- Yes, and you've done it.
Well done. Or is that not enough?
Do you need me to give you more praise?
- We're on the same side.
- No, this is my side. I brought you in.
Who are we fighting here,
Crosses or ourselves?
Crosses! Now, just do the job.
Or are you scared?
- Scared of what?
- Of what she is to you.
She's nothing.
She's nothing!
She's nothing.
She's nothing.
Yes, I know, it is.
It is very late.
I was just hoping that...
Yes, I'm sorry to disturb you.
Goodbye.
Kamal...
- Is she alive?
- Yes, yes.
- Where?
- I don't know.
But we'll find her.
Mrs Hadley,
we're working under the assumption
- that the phone call is real, but...
- What phone call?
- I received a call.
- From who?
Why would they even have your number?
I have no idea how they...
how they got to us.
We need a list of anyone you think
might want to harm you or your family.
Intelligence is working on
the political threats, but if...
This is the work of the LM.
Who else would do this?
- We are following that led, sir.
- There is only one lead to follow.
We have to be open
for all possibilities.
The first few hours are vital.
We'll still need a list
of anyone you think...
I'm the Prime Minister!
Find her!
The last place she's tracked to
is Vauxhall Bridge.
We've found her phone
and a second phone.
She's made numerous calls
to Callum McGregor.
Call Meggie.
Get her here.
Baba, I have been kidnapped.
And my life is in danger.
I've not been hurt... yet.
But I don't know for how much longer
that's going to be the case.
The people holding me
are asking for £1,000,000...
and for you to give up your position
as Prime Minister.
It's just me and you.
And you hate it.
Or you love it.
You finally get to cause my family
the most amount of pain.
- And me.
- This isn't about you.
Tell me you have an IP address.
They're bouncing around multiple servers
- but the provider's on it.
- Mr Hadley...
Callum would never do this.
God, he'd protect Sephy with his life!
You know that.
Take Mrs McGregor's phone.
Her boys may have been in contact.
And she is not allowed
to leave the premises.
We will check on all devices.
But, of course, we have to check
the legitimacy of the video first.
You should probably just concentrate
on bringing my child back safely!
You have to step down, Kamal.
Mr Hadley, you are Prime Minister.
You cannot be seen in any way
to be negotiating with terrorists,
to give in to their demands.
This is a personal and private matter.
And it stays that way.
Resign. Now.
I don't care about your career.
I don't care about the future of Albion.
This is our daughter.
And we don't take chances
with our daughter's life.
I know you're there.
Just keep quiet.
How could you do this?
After everything that we've...?
I said, keep quiet.
It's time for Kamal to take orders,
for a change.
If he co-operates, then there's
no need for anyone to get hurt.
This wasn't how you were going
to change the world, Callum.
Well, maybe it's the only way left.
No.
It's a choice you're making.
We're interrupting
our current programming
for an announcement from Parliament.
The Prime Minister, Kamal Hadley,
has announced he is resigning from
his post with immediate effect
to focus on his family.
In light of recent events...
I've made the difficult decision
to step down as Prime Minister.
Yes, my time in office has been short.
Yes, this is far from ideal.
But I can only prioritise my family
at this time,
as I give over the reins to someone
who is willing to lead the country
with the policies our nation deserves.
God bless Albion.
I heard the news.
They're gonna kill me.
I've pretty much seen everyone's face.
And Dorn's ruthless.
You think anyone's gonna let me go?
None of this is about you.
- Look, I'm sorry, but...
- No, save your breath.
OK. As long as you know,
when it come to it, I want you to do it.
Don't be fooled.
Cos I could kill you if I needed to.
Then, do it.
This is either you...
or it isn't.
You're pathetic.
As if I could have ever thought
I was in love with you.
Oh, I knew it was never love.
- What?
- An experiment.
Yeah, that's what Kamal called it.
You spoke to my baba?
So good you might have even
persuaded yourself.
- I am not your enemy.
- No, you're worse.
Standing by. Watching.
Doing nothing.
All the while claiming that you love me.
So, yeah...
maybe I could kill you.
Cos what good are you to this world?
Could you kill your own child, then?
In light of recent events,
I have made the difficult decision,
to step down as Prime Minister.
It was the right thing to do, Baba.
This is far from ideal...
And we will get her back.
I believe in you.
I'm not sure
how well-founded your faith is...
but I'm very grateful for it.
Bowoni, sir.
I just want to say...
if there is anything I can do to help,
anything at all...
I will lay down my life f
or your daughters.
No, no.
Thank you, Lekan.
I really appreciate your...
your loyalty to my family.
- But I've got this.
- Look, Baba... Take Lekan.
He's younger and fitter than you,
he's a trained soldier.
Yes.
Mr Hadley. We're set.
It's time to go.
You should never have brought him here,
Meggie...
all those years ago.
If they hadn't become friends, they...
Don't do that!
You have no idea what it's like
sitting here
and not knowing
if you will ever see your child again.
Don't I?
You've seen all those police, all armed.
Who do you think their guns
are gonna be pointing at?
Then they will get what they deserve.
Jas, I know...
he would never lay a finger on her.
- Never.
- That's the boy you remember.
But what about the man he's become?
Do you really know what he's capable of?
My boys have had...
everything taken away from them,
everything.
So, now they steal
the most precious thing we have?
And, what, that's fair?
Don't leave. You can't leave.
The police said you have to stay here.
I said, don't leave!
Please...
You're right.
I don't know what's become of my sons
or what they're capable of.
But you saw what I saw.
All the signs where there.
And if Callum knew that, he would...
he would protect Sephy.
- I just know that.
- What signs?
Of what?
That she's pregnant.
That history is repeating itself.
Well, maybe this time
it'll be different.
Is it true?
- You're pregnant?
- You think I'd lie about that?
It's mine?
No.
It's mine.
Mine and Callum McGregor's.
But he's not here.
- You're having my baby?
- You're not hearing me.
It's not yours.
The Callum that I knew
was full of love...
and not hate.
He wanted to make things better...
not threaten lives.
Sephy...
It's me, I'm here.
I'm right here.
And I want you.
I want our child.
This world, any world, I want it.
I just couldn't see a future.
I thought the LM and all this
would give me purpose, but...
I've been so lonely.
Mr Hadley...
Mr Hadley?
- Are you all right?
- Yes. And, you, go ahead.
Right, let's do this.
So, you, keep watch.
- As people make a move...
- We've got you covered.
He won't try anything.
Not till he sees his daughter.
- Which he won't.
- Not until we're clear.
We'll leave her tied up until we've
had enough time to get out and then...
- Well, they'll find her eventually.
- No, we get rid of her, Jude.
An opportunity to show the Crosses
what they're dealing with.
I was instructed to go alone.
Nobody move a muscle
until I see my daughter.
And not one single shot is to be fired
until I have her back safely with me.
Thank you.
Mr Hadley...
- I'll go alone.
- Are you sure?
Yeah.
- To your holding positions!
- Move out!
I assume that's everything we asked for.
- Where's my daughter?
- I ask the questions, Kamal.
Yes, it's everything you asked for.
I saw your resignation.
Whatever it takes to get my child back.
Whatever it takes
to get my country back.
Aren't you Crosses getting tired
of this savage little backwater yet?
I can't see Aprica wanting to prop it up
for much longer.
Where does that leave you, hey?
Outnumbered.
- Wait here.
- Give me my daughter.
You don't get to control me.
I've done as instructed.
I know the cavalry's waiting
in the wings.
I know that they're gonna sweep in
the second that you have Sephy.
So...
you wait.
You know what happens to those who wait.
All good things come to them.
And those that don't...
their daughters die.
No, no, no! What are you doing?
They haven't released her yet.
- He said to wait.
- She's not coming back.
We need to find them and her, now!
Now!
Blue team, go!
Cal...
- What's going on?
- We have to get out of here.
We have to close down the cell,
cos he wants us to...
- He wants us to...
- What?
We should never have done this.
Well, I had to do something.
I had to be remembered for something.
Otherwise what did he die for?
- Who?
- Danny and Baba.
Sephy, let's go.
Come on.
He wants us to get rid of the hostage.
And you should have done it by now.
Or did you run ahead
for some other reason?
Down there.
What do we do?
Tell me what to do.
You want to do something?
You want to be something?
No. No.
An eye for an eye.
Isn't that what we agreed?
Just follow through with the plan.
For Nicola and your dad.
Just pull the trigger.
Remember who she is.
You can do it.
No sense of the bigger picture.
The same with Danny's death.
You sit in the hospital,
pathetically waiting,
hoping that he's gonna live.
What, and you wanted him to die?
I wanted change.
You were with him when he died.
- You were there.
- Finally!
The sound of a penny dropping
really, really slowly.
Danny's death was a game-changer.
Yours will be, too.
What Cross is gonna want to bring
their kids up in a barbaric country
where even the Prime Minister's daughter
gets shot in the head?
The cause has to be bigger
than any one life.
But not yours.
Never yours.
Callum, run.
Sephy, go. Just go.
Are you turning on your own kind, Jude?
- Jude, come on!
- Callum, run!
Sephy?
- Baba?
- Sephy?
Sephy, go to him.
- What are you gonna do?
- Listen, don't think about me.
- Think about that baby.
- I can't!
Just go! Please!
Persephone, get back.
I don't know which is
the greater punishment.
To take your life...
or to have you spend the rest
of your days in a 12-by-8
thinking about your mistake.
- No!
- Persephone... What are you doing?
I'm trying to protect you.
- I'm trying to protect you.
- Baba...
You are threatening my entire world.
No...!
Sephy...
- Sephy...
- I love you.
No.
Sephy's alive.
And I believe that she's safe.
- I don't understand.
- Where is she?
She's with Callum.
I tried to save her, but when...
I couldn't.
I tried, Jasmine.
I really... I really did.
She chose to stay with Callum.
You know, they chose to stay together.
She loves him, Kamal.
Do you still not get it?
And she's having his child.
And before you say a word...
unlike Yaro...
I'm going to help them.
And whether you join me or not...
is up to you.
- Hello?
- Mama...
Cal!
Oh, it's so lovely...
..to hear your voice.
Did you hear from Jude?
Not yet, love.
You know he saved our lives?
He'll be in touch, Cal.
Where are you, my sweetheart?
I can't tell you.
Or anyone.
But we're safe...
away from everybody.
Is that birds singing I can hear?
Yeah.
And Sephy sends her love.
- So, what next?
- We keep on running.
- We keep on hiding.
- They'll kill you...
if they catch us.
So, we don't get caught.
