My name is Cole.

And I was head of security

for N-gen Industries.

But it was a scientific company

that no one knew about.

And for them I murdered

and I tortured

and I destroyed lives.

And I helped them.

I helped them create this new world

where everything has changed.

Everything has changed.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we live in a society

that becomes more demanding,

fast-paced and hectic by the day.

To cope with this,

we all need a little help,

and as managing director

of N-gen Industries,

I'm proud to announce

the arrival of RAK 295,

the next generation

of performance-boosting supplement.

Mr White,

if RAK 295 has an effect

on mental and physical abilities,

how can you be sure it'll be safe?

We pride ourselves

on our thorough procedures at N-gen.

A full RAK-295 testing programme

is underway

with 30,000 volunteers participating.

Following two months of assessment,

they will be recalled,

fully tested, and the product

will then be available to all.

Are you sure

two months is enough time?

The work of lead scientist,

Michael Brooke, and my team

prior to the testing phase

will be there for all to see,

but I can assure you,

I have no concerns whatsoever

regarding any harmful side effects.

- Mr White, I have another question.

- No more questions.

'The British

pharmaceutical giant, N-gen Industries,

'is facing an unprecedented

number of lawsuits.

'Many of the volunteers who took part

in the drugs trial two months ago

'have experienced extreme side effects,

with some becoming seriously ill.

'RAK 295 was intended

as a strength and stamina supplement

'to cope with the strains

of modern-day life.

'Test patients have allegedly suffered

high fevers,

'vomiting, internal bleeding,

'and in some cases,

multiple organ failure.

'Subjects feeling

any side effects whatsoever

'are urged to report immediately

'to either N-gen laboratories

or to their nearest hospital.'

Another 12 people were admitted

to St Mary's in Birmingham.

And a further 37

to the two hospitals in Manchester.

Two more upstairs.

So that's all of them,

all with failing organs

and vascular collapse.

And her, Angela Mills. Nothing yet?

No sign of her?

She's not in any hospital in the country.

I want to look at her flat now with Billing.

She has a stepbrother in the river service.

Cooper's looking into that.

- But what about her parents?

- Died three years ago.

White thinks she might be dead.

What if she's alive and unaffected?

Either way we need to find her.

Our glorious CEO

will be paying us a visit later.

N- gen, it's finished.

Even White's pockets

can't handle 30,000 lawsuits.

We owe it to these people

to fix what we've done.

We'll never be able

to fix what we've done, Michael.

It's already too late for that.

Listen, look,

I'll be back before White arrives.

Just hold it together, yeah?

- The incident report was inconclusive.

- It's meant to be proof.

Your shoulder injury from the struggle

is still our best hope.

- So what now?

- We have a much harder battle ahead.

The press are...

See for yourself.

They've picked a side.

I didn't do anything wrong, Morgan.

I didn't.

I'll see you in court next Tuesday.

All out of limos.

Great to see you.

I'll give it all back to you, Steve.

Every penny.

I'm not bothered about that, mate.

Let's just get you back on track, eh?

F*** it!

Get over there.

- Who the hell are you?

- Never mind me. Who the f*** are you?

I'm calling the police.

Check that phone.

Check his numbers.

- No!

- Now you listen to me.

I'm going to ask you once and once only.

Where is Angela Mills?

I don't know. I don't know. She...

She left two months ago.

There's nothing, no number.

Where is she?

We know she lived here,

so where did she go?

Aargh!

Where's Angela Mills?

Where did she go?

Billing, leave him.

He knows nothing.

We're going to be late.

Go and get the car.

We know where you live,

where your daughter goes to school.

Prick!

'Another situation

needs resolving.

'Do what you do best.

'Leave no trace.'

Has anyone died yet, Mr White?

How do you plan to defend yourself?

'RAK 295,

as has been widely reported,

'was to be a revolutionary

over-the-counter performance enhancer.

'As the final testing stages

were completed,

'it slowly emerged

that serious side effects...'

Turn that bollocks off now.

- Well, what about the landlord?

- He knew nothing.

- Are you sure?

- Trust me, we were thorough.

Cooper should be

at the step-brother's house.

- Who the f*** are you?

- Andy Billing, my replacement.

- Good to meet you, sir.

- Gentlemen.

Wait here.

Keep the bloody press out.

Hold on a minute.

I'm done at the end of the month, Peter.

Do you understand me? I'm done.

I'm sick of dealing with all your sh*t

and I don't want it any more.

We'll discuss that later.

Brooke, we need to have a serious chat.

You're not turning your back on me, too?

This girl, the one

from the first batch of volunteers,

if she turns up dead, it's prison.

No lawsuit. Prison!

She may be abroad.

There are many

possible scenarios, Peter.

We have to think positively.

There's always a chance

she hasn't reacted with it.

She may be immune,

may be special.

- If that's the case...

- Oh, just wake up, Michael!

That's as close to a 100% failure rate

as you're going to get!

There's a message from Cooper, boss.

If you've killed her,
