"Yes, I've got an anomaly for you, Jess, one of the greatest anomalies known to the Western world." "Why they call them roadworks when there's never any work going on!" "Ooh." "Joe!" "Joe?" " Joe?" " I'm all right, guys, I'm all right." "Lads?" "You said you could do anything and that we didn't understand the anomalies." "What did you mean?" "You said you were the future." ""I am the past, I am the present, I am the future. " What does that mean?" "I have no idea what you're talking about." "I've just read your report on the Danny Quinn situation." "Very thorough." "Thanks." "Lost in time for over a year, finally gets back home, and then gone again within a day." "Not entirely rational behaviour, is it?" "He went after his brother." "I like to think I would do the same thing." "Quite." "Did he say anything before he went through?" "Like what?" "Oh, I don't know, let's start with unusual." "He was pretty focused on Patrick." "Well, I suppose that's understandable." "Let's hope he turns up again one day." "Yeah." "Hello?" "Unauthorised personnel requesting permission to enter." " Thank you." " What time is it?" "Time you told me where you've been for the past 24 hours." " You smell." " Thanks very much." "No, you're right, I do." "I should have had a shower, but I've just been too busy." " Doing what?" " Stuff." "Philip." "Hey, erm..." "Abby just brought me a coffee, so..." "See you." " I'll catch up with you in a bit." " Yeah." "Connor, about this convergence theory of yours." "Hmm." "And that's exactly what it is." "It's convergence of the anomalies." "You're a smart guy, but you're wasting your time." "No, no, I sent you over the data." "The data is inconclusive." "What you have here is an interesting theory, but one mostly based on guesswork." "Come with me, let me show you something." "And leave your comms here." "A route, Jess, any route, just find a way to get me out of here." "But you might want to invest in a sat nav." "Why bother when I've got you?" "You've had two calls from the Cabinet Office." "Oh, yes?" "What do they want?" "Something about a knighthood." "They want to set up a meeting with you and a Miss Reece." "Something about a vetting process." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "Get my PA to set it up as soon as possible." "And find me that route out of here fast." " Sorry, you did say a knighthood?" " Yes." "Anything else you need that's not in my job description?" ""Sir James Lester", hmm." "Mobile." "Thanks, Jess, I won't touch anything, I promise." "What are you doing?" "How did you get in?" "Connor's the only one with the access code." "I'm team leader, I have full access." "You were hacking his computer." "Why?" "I have my reasons." " I'm calling Connor." " Don't." " Tell me why I shouldn't?" " I can't." " Not good enough." " Okay, okay." "Matt." "Matt, we haven't finished here." "Tell me what's going on." "Matt!" "Jess, there's a man missing." "Talk of him being snatched by some kind of creature." " Do we have an anomaly?" " No." "That does sound like an incursion." "Just intercepted emergency calls." "I've sounded the alert." "I'm going to send a team out now." "Good." "And yeah, you'd better send a helicopter for me," "I..." "I really can't afford to be late for this meeting." "Has Connor done something?" "I don't think so." "Look, not yet, anyway." "This is about Philip, I need to know what's going on at Prospero." " Why?" " I'm not sure yet, but it's important, so Abby, you're just going to have to trust me." "You know what, Matt?" "Trust has to be earned." "Abby..." "I need to know that you're not going to tell Connor." "It's important, I'm trying to protect him, believe me." "It's all I've got, Abby, so you can trust me or not, it's up to you." "What you are about to see is not ARC business." "You may not discuss it with anyone." "I really hate keeping secrets from Abby." "Then walk away and we'll never talk about it again." "A confidentiality agreement?" "Is that really necessary?" "Of course." "Welcome to New Dawn." "When this is finished, it'll make sense of the anomalies." "It'll make use of them." "To do what?" "Solve the greatest problem facing mankind today." "What, it's going to work out why there's always a sock missing after you've done the washing?" "The anomalies are a resource." "We've been so distracted by the creatures that we haven't seen it until now." "I'm talking about free energy, Connor." "Energy that's safe, that's clean and limitless." "Energy for the whole world." "Jess, where's Connor?" "He's just left the ARC with Philip." "I can't raise him on comms." "We can't wait for him, we need to get down there, see what we're dealing with." "It doesn't look man-made." "Hell of a big mole, then." "Wait." "Burrowing creatures work on vibrations, every step you take lets you know it's here." "Listen." " I can't hear any..." " Shh." "Full phase!" " Weapons are useless!" " Up top, now!" "Come on." "So what now?" "We need guns, lethal weapons." " What?" " Really?" "EMDs are useless, the bullets were just bouncing right off." "But hang on, it could have a..." "No, Abby, we're not going to stun this one and bring it back to the menagerie." " We're going to have to kill it." " Finally, common sense." "Leave it with me." "Whoa!" "This is...wow!" " You must be Connor Temple." " Er, yes." "Allow me to introduce April Leonard." " I've heard so much about you." " Have you?" "Philip's always talking about you." "He says you're a genius." "Well, I'm sure he's..." "I'm sure he's exaggerating." "To a point." "How would you feel about April assisting you in your lab?" "I want you to have all the help you need on New Dawn." "It would be an honour." "Really?" "I mean, yes." "That would be..." "I've never really had an assistant before." "Don't really know what to..." "Sorry, that's me." "I've got to go." "Jess, fill me in." "Matt's okay, but he's requested new weapons." "No, no, no, not that, my vetting with the Cabinet Office," " what time is the meeting?" " Fifteen minutes." "Hang on, your tie's not straight." " Good?" " Okay." "Good luck." "Thank you." "Matt, I'm pulling up maps of all the underground systems in the area." "Sewers, service pipes, everything." "And I'm working on a ground-penetrating radar map." "Okay, thanks, Jess." "Any sign of Connor, by the way?" "Hey!" "Yo." "Nice of you to join us." "Where have you been?" "I was worried." "I was just...just...with Philip." "Doing what, exactly?" "Yeah, that's the thing, it's kind of classified, but I'm going to need new comms and a new black box," "I've left mine at the ARC." "That's really professional, Connor." "We'll talk about this later." "Right now Jess is sending through some maps," " I'm going to need your help." " Okay." " Lester." " Lester, it's Becker." "I'm afraid the EMDs won't cut it, we're going to need conventional firepower and that means guns." " How many guns?" " Well, as many as you can spare." "Oh, yeah, fine, perhaps you'd like a tank as well?" " What, a tank?" " No, no, I was obviously joking." " What, really, a tank?" " You can't have a tank!" "Just so as I know, who is it exactly that Matt intends to shoot?" "Matt, I'm just sending you something through now." "It's not good." "What's this?" "Satellite image, ground-penetrating radar." "This creature's been here a long time." "Ay-yi-yi." "It stretches for miles and intercepts with every man-made tunnel and natural cave system under the city." "Ugh." "Lucky I've just sanctioned its extermination, then." "This would have to happen on the day I'm being vetted for a knighthood." "Yeah, some creatures just have no sense of occasion, do they?" "Great." "This... looks like its main tunnel." "Right, well, its nest is going to be off that somewhere." "Why assume that?" "Our best bet is to predict when it resurfaces and be ready." " If it resurfaces." " It'll resurface." "Now that it knows it's got a food source above ground." "There's no creature like this in the fossil records, so it must be from the future." "Brilliant." " There you go." " Thanks." "Hmm." "Well, this is our centre of operations." "I just intercepted this emergency call to the police." "It just came out of the ground and it was like a giant insect or something, and it had huge claws." "It took my husband into the ground." "Please, you have to help!" "They did tell you what we do here?" "Not in detail." "They just said it was covered by the Official Secrets Act." "What do you do, exactly?" "Well, I don't like to talk about my own contribution, but it's not every job where one gets to save lives." "I suppose I'll have to meet the Queen?" "Matt, we have another potential creature attack." "I'm going to send you the coordinates now." "A house not far from you." "It's killed again." "Thanks, Jess, have Becker meet us there." "Two victims in an hour, this thing's hungry." "It could be stockpiling food." "Or there's more than one creature." "Exactly." "Either way, we've got to know." "Get those people out of here!" "Connor, have you laid a map over those radar results?" "Yep, just did it." "Here, Matt." "Can we make a 3D model of this?" "We're looking for a nest in the tunnels, it'll be part of an already existing structure." "Okay, that's pretty specific for a creature we've never seen before, but I'm on it." "You seem to know a lot about this thing." "Guys, we need to stay back from the edge of the hole." "We need to find the next large patch of grass." "But the first attempt was in the road." "It can't burrow through concrete, the workmen made that hole themselves." "It's hunting for food, it won't be far." "We need to lure it out again." "How are we going to do that?" "Vibrations." "April, you're right, I am a genius." " Damn it!" " Matt, be careful!" "Okay, Jess, I've located the nest, I'm sending it over to you right now." "Done." "Where the hell is this thing?" "Guys, hey, it was under our noses all along!" "No, stop!" " Ah!" " No!" " Connor!" " Hey, Abby!" "No, no, come on." "We'll get him back, I promise, we'll get him back." "Come on." "Of course, one doesn't do a job like this for the money or the glory, one does it because it's the right thing to do." "Oh, absolutely." "But one can't deny that recognition for a good job well done is always pleasant." "Well, I should think working with Philip Burton must have raised your profile a little." "I do think it's so important these public/private partnerships are made to work effectively." "I couldn't agree with you more." "I mean, a lot of people said it wouldn't work, but Philip and I have an excellent relationship." "You know, you only have to ask him." "Oh, I will." "Might I ask, is the knighthood, er, should we say, a done deal?" "At this stage, we need to make sure everything's in order." "No skeletons in the closet, if you know what I mean." "You won't find anything like that." "That is good news." "Frankly, I'm impressed." "Creature incident, small arms fire, 10 civilians requiring treatment for shock." "And we're one man down, we've lost Connor." "Would you excuse me?" " What the hell is going on?" " The creature took Connor." "Yes, I heard that the first time." "What are we doing about it?" "Look, at the risk of sounding a tad self-involved, this better not screw up my knighthood." "Matt will find him, don't worry." "If you were an insect, would you want to eat Connor?" "Matt, can you see the area Connor indicated as the most likely nest?" "I can, yeah." "I think he's right." "His black box signal is heading back towards the roadworks." "I'll set up an exclusion zone." " It's taking him back to the nest." " Yeah." "Abby, wait." "Abby, calm down, we have to be careful here." "Don't tell me to calm down, this is Connor we're talking about, he could be dead already." "Well, if he is, there's nothing we can do and if he isn't, charging in here without a plan is not going to help him." "It's one creature and it's already injured." "The bullets pierced the exoskeleton, I saw it." "You said yourself we're not even sure if it is just one creature." "I just tracked Connor's black box to a large chamber under this building." "Burrowing insects hibernate in clusters." "When the weather heats up, a scout heads out to..." " Collect food." "Great." " Yeah." "Jess, we don't do anything until we're sure what's down there." " We could put a camera in." " What about infrared?" " Abby..." " Connor?" "Connor?" "Connor?" "Connor, can you hear us?" "I..." "I can hear you." "Connor, are you okay?" "Are you hurt?" "A few bumps and bruises, but I suppose that's to be expected in this line of work." "Hey, that was pretty nifty shooting, guys." "The creature's dead." "Connor, where are you?" "Are there any other survivors with you?" "No." "There's no other survivors." "Can you see a way up to the ground?" "Can you get out?" "There's an escalator." "Okay Connor, head up there." "Is there any sign of any more creatures?" "No." "There's no other creatures." "What is it?" "Are you hurt?" "No, I just don't like being on escalators that are not moving." "It just feels really odd." "Connor..." "I've got a little scratch on my leg." "I'm sure it'll be fine." "Daylight." "Um..." "Matt, you know when you asked if there was any other creatures in here?" "Connor, how many?" "More than I'm entirely happy about." "Can you get a route out of there?" "Can you get to the front doors?" "I can give it a..." "I can give it a go." "Whatever you do, do not wake one of those creatures." "Funnily enough, Matt, I wasn't planning to." "If you wake one of them, you wake all of them." "It doesn't matter, if they escape we'll get the conventional weapons," " we'll take them out." " Not a nest of them, you won't." "With this many tunnels, they'll be all over the city in no time." "Connor, just get out of there." "Connor?" "I've got an idea." "Connor!" "You just get out of there!" "Guys, guys, just listen to me." "Me getting out is the least of our problems." "If Matt's right, then we need to deal with these creatures before it's too late." "And right now, I'm in here, so I'm our best hope." "Connor, forget that and listen to Abby and get out of there." "Look, trust me on this." "Get Jess to pull up the records of the utility services to the building." "I hope you got everything you need, Ms Reece?" "Very much so." "Frankly, you've been most impressive." "With something like this, one does everything one can to help." "He must be a dear colleague." "Sorry?" "Who must be?" "Sorry, you said "a dear colleague"." "Who do you mean?" "Philip Burton, of course." "I'm sure he'd be flattered to know the lengths you've gone for him today." " The knighthood's for him?" " Of course, who else?" "He's going to be Sir Philip Burton?" "It has a ring to it, doesn't it?" "If there were any doubts about his suitability, you've certainly put my mind at rest." "Oh, good, good." "It's all good, it's all good." "Good." "Good old Philip." "Good old Philip." "Or should I say, Sir Philip." "Good, good, good." "Yep." "Please tell me there's a gas supply that's been connected to this building." "Pipes are capped, but the mains are connected, so all we have to do is turn the gas on again." "Good." "Do it." "I'm going to open the valve." "You're a genius, Connor." "So everyone keeps saying." "Yet here I am, surrounded by 50 giant carnivorous insects." "I'm not that smart." "Right, we've cleared the area." " I'll go prep the detonators." " Okay." "Blowing stuff up, hey, Becker?" " You're going to love that." "Oh, hang on, where is the valve?" "According to this, there's a capped pipe on the southeast wall, can you see that?" " Yeah, I think I've got it." " Okay." "Be careful, Connor." "What could possibly go wrong?" "Oh, Abby, if this doesn't work out too well... you'll never so much as look at another man." "Forget it, I'll be dating again within days." "Yeah, I guess with your looks, I wouldn't blame you." "Right, here I go." " You okay?" " Yeah." "Sorry about the knighthood." "Oh." "Priorities, Jess, priorities." "Right, everybody move back." "Okay." "Okay, I'm nearly there." "The detonator's primed." "Okay, I've done it, I'm out of here." "Connor, are you on the move?" "Er..." " Something's wrong." " Connor, hurry up." " Jess, shut off the gas." " No, Jess, don't!" "They're awake and I'm trapped." "If we don't take them out now, they'll get through the tunnels and we won't be able to stop them." "Jess, shut off the gas, now." "It's Matt's call." "Shut it off or I'm going to go in there and get him out myself!" "Abby, you do that, the attacks we saw today are going to happen all over the city, only a hundred times worse." "What are you doing?" "Remember I told you I'm not going to let anything happen to him, or you, okay?" "You're just going to have to trust me." "No live rounds, mate, it won't take anything to set that gas off." "Abby..." "Abby, I..." "I know." "Me, too." "Connor." "Come on." "Come on, Connor, breathe." "Welcome back." "Come on." "Let's get out of here." "Jess, can you hear me?" "Can you hear me, where are they?" "Are they clear yet?" "Are they at a safe enough distance?" "No, wait, they're still too close." "Becker, do it now!" "Not yet!" "Do it now, it's an order!" "No." " Becker, now!" " Sorry." "Abby!" "Connor!" "Matt!" "Matt, Connor?" "Can you hear me?" "Matt?" "Connor?" "Matt?" "Connor?" "Matt?" "Next time, run quicker." "It's nice to see you too, mate." " Creatures?" " All dead." "Nice work" "Connor." "Oh, it's fine." "It only hurts when I move." "That is not fine." "Let's get a Mickey Mouse plaster on that, shall we?" "Very funny!" "Seriously, it does hurt." "Yeah, come on." "Matt..." "Thanks." "Come on." "So, it was your idea to blow up a perfectly good shopping centre?" "Guilty." "Not to worry." "I'll square it with the relevant authorities." "Not that I need any recognition or thanks, let alone any awards." "Unlike some people." "Connor, there's a message from April." "She says well done for not getting killed and she's waiting for you in your lab." " April?" " Yeah." "She's, er..." "I was going to..." "She's kind of my new assistant, would you believe?" "Philip lent her to me." "You could come and meet her if you like." " I'll come in a minute." " Yeah." " You okay?" " Cool." " April." " Hi." "Hello." "I see you've made yourself at home." "Tidied up and everything, this was a right mess." "Oh, you should see my flat." "This was nothing." "Philip gave me this for you." "That's a very posh case." "Cool." "Me own little posh folder and everything." "Right, well, I'll take this home tonight..." "Whoa!" "You can't take this with you." "It can't leave my possession." "Really?" "You do want to be part of this project, don't you?" "Philip chose you." "That doesn't happen very often." "Yeah, yeah." "Of course I do, it's just..." "I kind of got dragged underground by a..." "It doesn't matter." "I'm a bit of a mess is what I'm trying to say, at the moment." "Of course." "Have a shower, check in with medical, whatever you need to do." "I'll have some food brought in for us for when you get back." "Cool." "All work and no play?" "Ooh." "Matt." "I kept asking myself how you could have known so much about those creatures." "And then I realised, you knew them because you'd seen them before." "In the future." "Which means one of two things, either you've been to their time" "or you came from there in the first place." "So which one is it?" "Come with me." "He'll have the New Dawn files read by morning." "I'll keep him here until he's done it." "Good." "Then I want you to find out if Danny Quinn told anyone else about Helen Cutter before he left." "In the future, this planet's dying." "This is my only chance to save it." "And if I fail, all life on Earth will come to an end." "What has that got to do with the ARC?" "Something goes wrong with the anomalies in this era." "I'm here to find out what it is and if I can, stop it." "So your whole identity is a lie?" "And you've been investigating us all since you got here." "I think you can be sure of Connor." "Keep him on a tight leash anyway, till we can be certain of his loyalty." "Connor?" "Abby, I need to know what he's doing for Philip." "You think it's him." "Connor's data on anomaly convergence is the last piece of the jigsaw." "We're definitely close to a breakthrough." "I'm going to show you something." "What you're looking at is your future." " Okay?" " Okay." "If you're going to be part of this, you have to know what you're dealing with." "I need you to help me."
