'COBRA: Rebellion' Brings in Acts of Sabotage

COBRA: Rebellion’s second episode lays bare the terrible tension between Robert Sutherland’s roles as Prime Minister and loving father and damages the fragile truce with his wife, Rachel. Their troublesome, beloved daughter Ellie is missing in the Godley Common disaster, where a massive sinkhole has destroyed buildings and left many people missing. The small village has been inundated with members of Planet Resistance, protesting the controversial construction of a high-speed intercity rail system, the Metro Ultraline.

Anna: You can accept she’s part of this which makes you part of it too. You will lead with strength because you stand with all those desperate for their loved and missing.

Robert insists he should stay at Downing Street, where he can do the best for his country, and that Rachel should stay with him – she is his rock and support. Rachel, frantically packing to travel to Godley Common, refuses and summons an official car. But the driver gently tells her he can’t drive her there and even locks the doors for a few minutes to reconsider her decision. He releases her, and then Robert changes his mind following a COBRA meeting.
