survivors there are.

And the team might not find

them in time. They might

not find them at all.

And they could

still be contagious.

That's what the team's

going to find out.

You've known for

three f***ing years

that they were up there,

but you swept it

under the carpet.

Scotland's dead

have long since

been laid to rest.

Yesterday, if I turned up

on the 6:
00 news with

a survivor in tow,

they'd have strung me up

from the nearest lamp-post

by the balls.

But if, in 48 hours,

I arrive with a survivor

and a cure,

sure they won't

give a flying f***

about the survivor,

but they'll be lining up

to kiss my arse

for that cure.

In politics,

survival is timing,

and ours is running out.

We have 48 hours.

I need your best man

on this, right away.

All right.

I know someone who might

just fit the bill.

Get in the car,

it's pissing down.

How long have they known?

Long enough.

But that doesn't matter now.

Matters to me.

There are survivors

out there.

This is not some

personal quest

I'm sending you on.

Focus on your mission.

Who's behind it? Hatcher?

Hatcher's got the swagger

and the smiles, but it's

Canaris who pulls the strings.

He's the power

behind the throne.

And he's not someone

you want to pick

a fight with.

Who, me?

I'm serious.

If the truth got out,

it would bring Hatcher,

the government,

the whole f***ing

system down.

And there's no way

Canaris is ever gonna

let that happen.

Once you're over that wall,

there's no rules,

no backup.

Better that way.

Look after this for me,

would you?

Don't suppose

you got a cigarette?

There's no smoking

on the helicopter,

and I don't smoke.

Fair enough.

Dr. Marcus Kane,

he was leading

the research into the virus

when the gates were closed.

He was trapped

inside the hot zone.

His lab was located inside

the quarantine compound

in Glasgow.

If anybody was capable

of developing a cure,

it was him.

I suggest you start

at the lab. Pick up

the trail from there.

You'll rendezvous with

the rest of the team

at the wall,

then you'll proceed north

in two armored transports.

Scotland is still Why not fly in?

a no-fly zone.

Hatcher needs to keep this

as low profile as possible.

So if we don't make it out,

no one will know we went in.

You've got 46 hours.

If you don't make it back,

the city of London

and everybody in it

will be left to die.

If it's there,

I'll find it.

You'll need this. It's a GPS

locator beacon. It'll tell us

exactly where you are.

We'll have a gun ship

standing by to extract

your team.

So much for low profile.

Once you have the cure,

it won't matter.

What happens if I don't

find anything up there?

Then you needn't
