55 Degrees North (2004) s01e06 Episode Script
Episode 6
You make eye contact and try and seem mysterious, like, so they think you're really, like, interesting.
Draw them in, check them out, and if they're really ugly, I tell them I'm a dentist.
How did you guys find this place? - We ask around during our shift.
- Hen dos can cause a lot of trouble.
And when they come down from Scotland for a hen night - Oh, very lively.
- The best.
Mind you, Geordies are the friendliest.
Anybody can pull.
Look and learn.
- How's it going, pet? - Not gonna happen.
- Anybody can pull but Clarky.
- She must be from Sunderland.
So, this is what you guys do in your free time? You take advantage of drunk girls? Mind you, you can't always expect it to come to you.
Sometimes you have to go hunting.
- Hunting? - Watch the master.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Evening, ladies.
And what do you do? I'm a dentist.
Thanks to BlackAmber/Sub - He left his keys in the car? - When he went to pay.
And the two teenagers took the car? Male.
One white.
One Asian.
They've been stopped near the Bigg Market.
Car's been recovered.
- Glad to be of help.
- Just wanted you to feel needed.
Thanks.
I do.
- Tell me it isn't true.
- What? Fox in the hen house? Yeah, Clark and Astel were trying to corrupt me.
They get all the best jobs.
Control to November 7.
November 7.
Detective requested.
Suspected break-in.
Warehouse, Forman Way.
November 7 to Control.
Control to November 7 receiving.
At address, Forman Way.
Control, reconfirm address.
Nothing's happening here.
Forman Way, address confirmed.
What's this about? - I can trust you now.
- You always could.
They were desperate, you know, in London, to get rid of you.
Anyone who would shop his boss, on principle, that was someone I wanted here.
I thought you were at Hendon with my old DI.
Well, I never liked Simmons.
Instinct, I suppose.
Him beating up a suspect? Not much of a surprise.
Never trusted him.
Your instincts on who to trust are better than mine.
I kept you on nights for a reason.
I wanted you to work alone.
Detectives can get too cosy.
Well, there's no fear of me getting cosy, is there? I organised for George to offer you money.
Detective Inspector Carter, you do not have to say anything.
- Oh, don't be stupid, Nicky.
- But it may harm your defence - I wasn't trying to buy you.
- If you do not mention, when questioned, - something which you may later rely on in court.
- I was testing you.
You passed the test.
You put me through this as a bloody test? - Let go of me.
- What are you gonna do? Report me? I knew you didn't take the money.
I didn't think it would get to Professional Standards.
- And I'm sorry about that.
- You're sorry? You set me up and that's the best you can do? Say you're sorry? You knew I was clean.
Why didn't you say so straightaway? It wasn't really in my interests to have to explain to the Chief how I knew, was it? Your interests? I don't give a damn about your interests.
I'm gonna report what you've done.
You won't be able to prove it.
They'll never believe you.
You've a history of reporting senior officers.
Nobody likes that.
I'm gonna have you.
You can trust me on that.
I wouldn't have told you anything if I didn't trust you.
I need to trust you.
I think somebody in the shop is bought and paid for.
I don't know who it is and I've no hard evidence.
But I'm hoping I've got an outsider I can trust.
Do I? So what do you do if you're serious about a girl? I always take girls I'm serious about to meet me mum.
You do? Well, you got to make sure there's some chemistry there.
Between your mum and your girlfriend? Chemistry? Two most important women in a man's life.
You want to make sure they get along, don't you? So do they meet your mother before you sleep with them? Well, I said girls I'm serious about.
Of course I sleep with them first.
- Thank God for that.
- Well, then I take them to see me mum, only when I know we've got things we can talk about, mind.
- You mean like you and me? - Yeah.
Is this the road we're on? Yeah.
This is it.
I wouldn't mind meeting your mother.
Aye, you'd love her.
- So where's the naked drunk? - Top end near the garages.
What's happened to us? Gonna get you warm.
You're all right.
Don't be frightened.
You're safe now.
Let's get you into the car.
Lucy Mills.
Ambulance is taking her to hospital to be examined.
She's exhausted and feels like she's lost the last eight hours of her life.
She was drunk? She'd been drinking but swears it wasn't enough to make her drunk.
She remembers having a vodka and orange in the Safari Club, then feeling sick.
That's it.
- Where did you find her things? - Over there.
Anything stolen? Can't be sure, but her cash, credit cards, phone, keys were all in her bag so it doesn't look like it.
- How far is the club from here? - 300 yards down the road.
The bouncer remembers her leaving because it was early and she seemed very drunk, but a well-dressed bloke was helping her out so he didn't think too much of it.
Can he describe the bloke? Yeah.
Average guy.
Average height.
Average-looking, average everything.
So she could have got attacked here while she was on her way home.
She doesn't recall being attacked.
The hospital's keeping her in for observation.
- You've done sexual-offence training? - Yeah.
I'm gonna need you with me when I speak to her.
Shift's over in an hour.
Keep the scene secured until forensics get here.
We might get some DNA.
- If we're lucky.
- Yeah.
- Errol? - Hey.
What have you done? You can't park that piece of junk outside the house.
It's not junk.
It's a project.
And where else am I gonna park it? - How long's this project gonna take? - Hard to say.
I'll get started right away but it will depend on cash flow.
- It'll just sit there - If the cash isn't flowing.
I hope you didn't pay a lot of money for it.
No.
I always buy well.
That's the secret.
But it needs so much work.
That's how I buy well.
He even towed it over for free.
- Towed it? - Yep.
- You mean it doesn't run? - No.
How can you buy well if they run? Errol, I can't believe you've done this without asking me.
I didn't ask because I knew you wouldn't have the vision for it.
Errol, we can't afford to pour money into an old car.
It's just gonna sit in front of the house and fall to bits.
No, call the crook who sold it to you and ask him if he'll come back and get it.
- Morning.
- Morning.
- You're up early.
- Oh, I just got back from my power walk.
- Power walk? - Oh, running makes your breasts sag.
It's true.
Georgina showed me the article.
And I was thinking I was not gonna learn something new today.
- Have you spoken to him? - Who? Himself over there.
The scrap-metal collector.
You people have no vision.
I said to Errol last night when it arrived.
You can't leave it outside your house like that.
I mean, what will people think? What do you mean? What will they think? They'll think we live in a ghetto.
A ghetto? Don't get cross, Nicky.
Deep down she's a nice woman.
Errol, do we care what people think? It's best you answer your own question.
Listen, Georgina, I've had a word with the "scrap collector" and I've told him he's bought a beauty and I'm gonna help him restore it.
And when it's done, we're gonna drive down the road of our ghetto together and we're gonna turn heads, all right? Is Matty still asleep? Tell him I'll see him when I wake up.
- Did I do well? - Outstanding.
- He reacted just like you said he would.
- I know him pretty well.
- What have you got? - Poxy burglar.
Caught red-handed last night.
One of our regulars, but this time he's not slipping the noose.
You? Oh, couple of lads who pinched a car from a petrol station forecourt last night.
They've got previous .
It reads like a novel.
- I think it might be clear-up day.
- I think it might be.
I got 50 quid that says I'll close more files than you.
Fifty? Hundred.
Done.
Shall I go first and set the target or do you want to? Knock yourself out.
Sergeant, I'd like to speak to me suspect.
I wasn't driving.
My mate said it was his car.
Is that right? It's not gonna work this time, Davey.
We've got your prints on the rear-view mirror of the car and on the gear stick.
You're cooked.
Deny it and this goes to court.
You'll go down.
Work with me now and let's see if we can keep you out of prison.
What do you mean? I've got a list of car thefts that match your MO and your description.
I need to know if you did them.
I'm not gonna charge you with them.
But you admit to doing them, I'm gonna take them into consideration.
You help me and I'll do my best to help you.
And you're not gonna charge me with them? No.
They'll go before the court on the back of last night's charge and the judge will give you lots of credit for being such an honest bloke.
Okay? Okay.
Good man.
Right.
November 3rd.
Petrol forecourt on Hillman road.
A white Peugeot - Convertible? - Yeah.
Aye.
Nice little runner that one.
Okay.
TIC.
December 1 st.
The loading zone at Newcastle Airport.
Blue Audi? TIC.
- Nine.
- Nine? You can just pay me now if you want.
Piece of piss.
Sergeant.
Get him.
It was more like popping round for a visit than a burglary.
People are funny, eh? Aye.
Christmas Eve.
Same road.
Number 28.
Aye, I took the TV and the video but I left the presents.
Yeah, that was festive of you.
Well, I'm not evil.
Get your wallet.
- You're joking.
- Twelve.
Come on, let's see the money.
- Will you calm down, sir? - What makes you think I'm not calm? I'm just doing my job, all right? Just answer the questions for me, yes? Please, eh? Come on, now.
Is there an agreement in writing? Is this the rat-bag that sold you that lump of rubbish outside? No.
Is this your partner, sir? No! He's my nephew.
Who are you? What do you want? Alan Holt.
Visiting Officer, investigating a benefits claim.
Do either of you work? You only answered the "who are you" part.
What do you want? There's been two claims for benefits on behalf of Matthew Cole, age eight.
I'm investigating how that might have happened.
And your uncle has not been very cooperative.
Must be a computer error.
Benefits have been paid to his mother, a Tina Wilcox of Flat 28, Balforth House, London SW8, for the past eight years.
A Mr Errol Hill has also submitted a claim recently.
We only moved here recently.
In which he says that Matthew Cole lives at this address.
He does.
- Are you the boy's father? - No, I'm his uncle.
So the boy lives here and not with his mother? As I've said, Matty lives here.
Is there something confusing about that? - Is there a reason for it? - Yes.
May I ask why that is? Ask his mother.
It's not helpful to be obstructive.
We take benefit fraud very seriously.
Can I just confirm your name? Dominic Cole.
Thank you.
- Would it be okay to see Matty's room? - Hmm.
If you're worried about fraud, speak to his mother.
I have.
Twenty-one clear-ups in a day? Just trying to make you look good, boss.
Who won the bet? Frank.
Experience will out.
Carter.
We've got another shooting.
On your bikes.
The boy likes Fulham? Yeah, yeah, it's a burden he's prepared to suffer.
- I'm an Evertonian.
- Oh, that's amazing.
So is Errol.
- Yes, I am.
- Another Toffee.
It's our second team.
Isn't it, Errol? Yes, yes, it is.
- We're everywhere.
- Yeah.
How long will Matty be visiting with you? The rest of his life.
- You have residence? - Yeah.
And is that agreement in writing? Is there a court order? No.
Okay.
Thank you.
Miss Wilcox was adamant that Matthew would be returning soon.
If there is a dispute, that's a matter for Social Services and the court.
There's no dispute.
She's a crack head.
She can barely look after herself.
That's really none of my concern.
Is that it, then? For now.
Thank you for your time.
- I'll call Tina.
- No, you won't.
Every time you speak to that woman things get worse.
Why did you apply for benefits? We don't need the money or the trouble.
That money was Matty's.
I was going to put it aside for him.
It's just going to open this whole thing up.
We have to deal with it, Nicky.
If she gets Social Services involved - She's a drug addict.
How can she? - By lying.
She's lied before.
She lies every day and if she thinks she's been caught, she'll lie again.
Hmm.
Leave it with me, Nicky.
I'll sort it.
Who was the victim? A customer who tried to be a hero.
- Weapon? - Handgun.
We'll know the calibre when we recover the bullet at the hospital.
That's Margaret Pittins, the shop manager.
CCTV? Scheduled to be repaired tomorrow.
Handy.
- Inside job? - Yeah, it's a line I'll follow.
Staff and service company employees? Yeah, I'll look at them both and anyone else that knew the cameras were down.
- Third handgun in a month.
- Bad things come in threes.
Any kind of description? Yeah, two men, Geordie accents, six foot, wearing gloves and balaclavas.
Long gone before officers arrived.
It's the same MO as the jewellery shop robbery on Park Street.
This time they used the gun.
- We haven't got very far on that one, have we? - Still pursuing it.
They left the scene in a silver car.
Thought to be a Ford.
No one got the reg.
Frank, you and Patrick, talk to some of your contacts.
They'll get rid of the gun now they've used it.
They'll be looking to buy more.
Someone will be selling.
There might be some chatter.
This is organised and they're laughing at us.
I want the guns off the street.
You two can get 100 clear-ups in a day, but it doesn't mean diddly-squat if we cannot stop the guns.
Yeah? Yeah, boss.
I didn't think you'd come.
Then why are you still sitting here? - Do you want to sit down? - No.
I won't be here long.
Look, this is not a good situation for me.
I don't want anything from you.
I should have been involved in this decision.
You should have told me.
You should have asked me what I thought.
James, I'm thinking of keeping the baby.
What do you think? I don't think it's a good idea.
Well, I do.
Do you feel involved? - You took the decision away from me.
- It was never your decision to make.
Look, you're not in control and I know that's hard for you.
That's where we've been for months.
Get over it.
How can I leave my wife? What am I supposed to do? You're not listening to me.
I don't want you to leave your wife.
If I did Well, then you'd be alone.
Claire, please.
Sit down and talk to me.
James, I'm not going to hurt you.
I am not going to do anything to embarrass you.
And I'm not going to be with you.
That's where we've been, that's where we are and it won't change, okay? He steps up to take the penalty.
He shoots! Cole dives to his left.
The Fulham keeper is beaten.
That was lucky.
Luck has got nothing to do with it, mate.
It's pure skill.
Your turn, go on.
This is it.
Little Matty Cole looks anxious as he prepares to take his chance from the spot.
Do you think my mum loves me? Why you asking that? This man came to our school and he wanted to talk to Miss Kerry about my mum and where I lived.
Yeah, well, we spoke to him.
It's nothing to worry about.
I'm not worried.
I just wondered.
I'm not gonna lie to you, Matty.
I don't know the answer to that.
But I do know I love you.
Hey! Hey! Goal! I was just looking for you.
I've got Lucy Mills downstairs.
- Lucy Mills? - The girl last night.
- Oh, I got you.
I'll be down in a minute.
- All right.
Come in.
Hey.
I was just thinking about you.
- This doesn't look like tidying up.
- Well, it's the last day before I leave.
Just clearing the place up for the next champion of justice.
- How's Matty? - Yeah, yeah, he's good.
Actually, I was wondering, do you know anything about family law? No.
Are you and Errol getting divorced? They always say fat people are funny.
Yeah.
I mean look at me.
Look, look! I look like I'm having triplets.
- Well, you might be.
- Don't, please, don't even say it.
What do you need a family lawyer for? I might need the courts to officially give Matty to me.
What, he doesn't have residence with you? It was a kind of informal arrangement.
- Why, his mother wants him back? - Might be, or it's just money.
You don't think she wants him back because she loves him? It's crossed my mind.
I just want to know what my rights are in case it goes ugly.
Well, I'll ask around.
See if I can find somebody for you.
Thank you.
So when are you due? Ah, six weeks.
You're not scared, going through this alone? Well, I've got my mother, who naturally is horrified that I'm having a child out of wedlock, but she hides it really well.
Errol asked me if I had anything to do with it.
Well, he's really not good at maths.
Well, he's just naturally suspicious of any woman who turns up at the house pregnant.
- Why? Have you got a track record? - No! Absolutely not.
That I know of.
No, he just thought you might be trying to lure me into some sort of trap.
Excuse me? Sorry, why would I want to trap you? That's what I said.
You're going to go mad, aren't you, sitting around with nothing to do? Well, I'll try and keep busy but thank you for your concern.
To be honest, I'm gonna be glad to get a break from this place.
Come here, I want to show you something.
Yates and Maguire get 21 clear-ups in a morning.
They're not gonna charge anyone but it makes their numbers look good.
So much for victims' rights.
Really taking them into consideration.
Well, you guys make it too hard to get a conviction.
Maybe if there was a bit more conviction from the coppers, they might put the bad guys away.
Ooh.
You definitely need a rest.
Do you think? I'm having a little leaving do tomorrow.
- Tomorrow night? I'm working.
- About 5:00.
My place.
Stop in.
Okay, I will.
Thanks.
And by the way, you don't look fat.
Oh, thanks, but I have mirrors at my place and they don't lie.
- Aren't you all girly and sensitive? - I don't deny it.
Don't they say that women are more attractive when they're pregnant? That's only because there's more to admire.
Unbelievable.
You even argue about a compliment.
Well, isn't that why you like me? I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah, it looks like Paul.
I'll go and talk to him.
No, I'll do it.
You stay here.
- He knows me.
- Stay here! - Paul? - Yeah.
I want to have a word.
They used the bloody gun, didn't they? The gaffer isn't happy.
If he's not happy, the sky opens and a tonne of shit's gonna fall on everyone's head.
We want the shooter.
Don't care about anyone else.
If they come to buy, I need to know about it, yeah? You with me? Mmm-hmm.
Do yourself a favour, put the word out.
No trace of the drug in her blood.
No semen.
Traces of a lubricant consistent with a condom.
Is there anything to work with? I've spoken to her and she's seen a counsellor but she's still pretty tortured.
She doesn't really know what happened.
The weird thing is I can remember arriving at the club.
I was gonna meet my friends there.
- Did you meet them? - No.
They were late.
I remember sending them a text asking them where they were.
Well, did they text you back? Yeah.
That's how I knew they were late.
But I don't hardly remember anything after that.
- Do you have your phone with you? - Yeah.
It might give us a time frame.
Yeah.
No problem.
I got it at 8:57.
Does who have a friend? There was this guy hitting on us.
How would she know he was cute? Are you okay? I can almost remember taking it.
I must have sent it to her.
I remember him, but I don't.
Do you think this could be him? It's okay.
You can't remember because we think someone put a drug in your drink.
GHB, the date-rape drug.
We don't know that's what it was.
There was no trace of it in your blood.
Your story is consistent with GHB.
You're not imagining things.
What if it wasn't him? What if he was just being nice? Nothing in my head makes any sense.
You think I was raped, right? Just say it.
Yes, Lucy, I'm afraid we do.
They said I should have an HIV test.
In my head, it's like this is happening to someone else, not me.
It's like it's not real.
Everyone says they think.
Could the doctor not tell when she examined us? No.
There was the bruising and some slight tearing, but nothing else.
We think the man who assaulted you used a condom.
Lucy, we want to pursue this.
We want to make sure the guy that did this to you is caught and punished.
I have a boyfriend, right? What am I gonna tell him? Let's not worry about him right now.
I have a good job, you know.
In a good company and people like me.
- They think I'm a responsible person.
- You didn't do anything wrong.
I've read about what they do to people who say they've been raped.
They make them look horrible, and they can remember everything.
I can't tell you what happened.
Don't you understand? Ah, cheers.
You all right? Yeah.
I hate those the worst.
There's nothing you can do.
Yeah, yeah, well, I've checked the database.
There've been five alleged assaults involving spiked drinks in the last few months.
The last three at the Safari Club.
- No suspects? - No.
No suspects.
No leads.
Only crime numbers.
And that's only the ones we know about.
Remind me not to go to the Safari Club.
Actually, I was thinking that's exactly where we should go.
I mean, we think we know what he looks like and you've got a good line in chat.
Hasn't worked on you or Mallory yet but I'll still take that as a compliment.
I'll need backup to make sure you're safe.
I've got a couple of blokes in mind who are good in a club.
- I'm the bait? - That's not so far-fetched.
I think I better warn you that I might talk a good game but my record on the pitch is pretty dreary.
- You're due then.
- Oh, just my luck.
When I pull it will be with a rapist.
- You're sure you're okay with this? - Yeah.
Right, we'll aim for tomorrow night.
I'll set it up and get Carter to sign off on it.
Right.
All right.
- All right, son.
- Frank.
Stop messing me about! Yeah? Waste of space.
- All right, see you then.
- Good night.
I told him we wanted the guns.
He thought I was being funny.
I didn't want him to think that.
He's got the message.
Let's go.
Today's shooting means we need to push resources in that direction.
The boss won't tolerate a rise in gun crime.
Sir, we think we know who the rapist is.
Okay, we believe he's a regular there.
We'll just eyeball the place and see if he turns up.
How many officers? Brookes, Clark, Astel, Mallory and me.
Let me do my job, sir.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
We need to make an arrest.
The gunman at the jeweller's.
I'm gonna need you in on that.
And when I do, it's a priority.
- I understand, sir.
- Do you? Look, I don't really care if you don't like me.
In fact, I can understand if you don't.
But I meant what I said, Nicky.
I need someone I can trust.
I'll be there for you, sir.
- What's your problem? - You.
We go around trying to intimidate people we need to work with.
I'm sending them a message.
It's gonna blow back on us, man.
We're not gonna get their help.
I'm not their boyfriend, Paddy.
You wanna be, that's your business.
It's not how I do it.
You make this a contest, you'll lose.
Look, we got a clear brief.
Whoever's supplying the guns needs to know we won't wear it.
We're only gonna get the information if they trust us.
Think! Trust us? Where do you live? They used a gun.
Because somebody pushed them too hard.
Yeah? I haven't begun to push them yet.
Look, if this is all too hard for you, it's too scary, tell the boss and go and investigate a traffic accident.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You look like a man with a plan.
Early train to catch .
Matty's getting dressed.
I want to talk to a solicitor before we go any further.
I said I would sort it.
I will.
I'm going to see her.
Talk to her.
Don't need solicitors.
You were the one that warned me about making things worse.
You would.
I won't.
I just think we should know where we stand before we do anything.
I have to speak to the boy's mother.
I have to look her in the eye.
That's where we stand.
- Who's going to look after Matty? - He's coming with me.
- I've already called the school.
- No.
No, he's not, Errol.
You're not doing this to him.
It's the boy's mother.
Nothing we can do will change that.
He hasn't been to see her in over a year.
You may not like it but he needs to see her and I need to speak to her to sort this out.
I'm going, Nicky.
Don't try and stop me.
- Errol - Hey.
Hey.
I'm going to see my mother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Georgina's waiting to drive us to the station.
Come on, boy.
Oi, come back with your soul intact.
Mmm-hmm.
And the victim? Right.
But stable? Okay, I'll let the boss know.
Thanks.
.
38 calibre.
Not hollow.
Right.
Pittins, the jewellery shop manager, says she saw the gun.
Now, we're getting some photos.
I mean, she might recognise the make.
Hmm.
Yates.
You wait here.
I'll call for you.
I came to see how you are.
Yeah, right.
The benefits are mine.
It's my right.
So, this is about money? How much do you want? Do you think this is about money? It's my boy I care about.
I love him.
- You can't steal a child like that.
- Nobody stole nothing.
I've been thinking, you know, and I want him back here with me where he belongs.
I'm offering you money.
It's my last offer.
I asked around.
All I got to do is tell a story to Social Services and you're finished.
Okay.
You can have Matty.
I brought him with me.
What? Hey, Matty? Come on up here, boy.
I brought a few things for him.
He's here? He's gonna stay with me? Here? Well, that's what you want.
I haven't said anything to Social Services.
Not yet.
Maybe he could just visit.
- You said you loved him.
- Yeah.
I do love him.
Well, he needs to know that.
It's the benefits, that's all.
They said I was gonna go to prison if I was lying.
That's all it was.
I was never gonna say anything about you.
Hi.
Hi.
Look at you.
You've grown so much.
Your mother wants to say something to you.
No, I She wants to tell you how much she loves you.
She loves you so much that she thinks it's better that you live with Nicky and me.
Yeah.
I love you that much.
Cole.
Hey! How did it go? Is Matty okay? Hey, you all right, huh? Yeah.
She loves me.
Does she? - Yeah.
- She does.
Okay.
Come on.
Everything's sorted now.
No more trouble.
Right, let's get you home.
How about pizza tonight? - Can I have a word, boss? - Yeah.
- It's about the shooting.
- Do you want to get Frank in? No.
It's better if it's just you and me.
Go on.
I got an informant.
The lads who did the jeweller's shop, they're willing to give up the gunman.
- There's a but? - Yeah.
Maguire's going around stirring things up.
Making threats.
They don't want him or me anywhere near it.
And no uniforms.
We need to use a detective that they don't know to make the meeting.
And it can't look like a set-up.
If it does, he'll be on his toes.
- What's on offer? - You were right about them needing clean guns.
There's gonna be a pick-up.
I'll get a call just before it happens.
Now, there will be time but they won't guarantee how much.
- When? - In the next 24 hours.
Will the subject be alone at the pick-up? Guaranteed.
And they guarantee he'll be unarmed.
He's expecting to meet a courier with a gun, and that'll be our detective who makes the arrest.
Did you get this from a principal? No.
A messenger.
I don't know who the principals are.
But it's reliable and I promised I'd protect my source.
- That's why it's just two-way here, yeah? - Yeah.
Maguire needs to back-off.
I hear you.
Come in.
Sorry I'm late.
- Have I got the wrong day? - No.
And you're not particularly late.
Bit humiliating, isn't it? A goodbye party with no friends.
Well, you were the only friend I wanted to invite.
Thank you.
I guess I'm honoured.
Well, you don't have to stay.
What, and leave you with all these guests? I wanted to be alone with you.
Have I got this wrong? - No.
- No, okay.
So, it's just a tad awkward and neither of us can get drunk.
Would that help? Well, it would provide mitigation.
Who would have thought mitigation could sound so sexy? If you like that, I know plenty of other big words.
No.
Would you like to put your feet up? Look, the last time I did that, look what happened to me.
Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine, just, you know Learning to live with my mistakes.
Am I one of them? I don't know yet.
Are you? I hope not.
Claire, I have to go, right now.
Why do you think I invited you at five? You can pick up a doorman's outfit from at the club.
They'll sort one out for you.
I think large will do for you, won't it, Rick? Everyone else, I want you to be appropriately dressed for a nightclub.
You, Brookes, inappropriately.
All right, off you go.
Nicky? Close the door.
The shooter, we've got an opportunity to take him.
It's from an informant.
I need an officer unknown to him to make the arrest.
Okay.
I don't know the precise time yet.
But when the call comes I'll need you to drop everything and be there.
All right, sir.
How come you get to be the doorman? Do you look like a doorman? I don't think so.
- And you do? - I can do intimidating, you can't.
And the uniform they've got fits me.
Right, if the bloke turns up, Rick will signal me and I will radio you.
Mallory, keep an eye on Brookes and do not let her out of your sight, all right? This job just gets better and better.
- All right, girls.
Enjoy yourselves.
- Will do.
- All right, girls.
Enjoy yourselves.
- Hiya.
Evening, sir.
Have a good time.
Thanks a lot, mate.
He's here.
November 7, Uniform 8 and Uniform 5, we're on.
All right? Here.
Have one on me.
All right? I've seen you round here before, haven't I? What's your name? How do I look? I'm not meant to know you.
Yeah, all right, you don't.
How do I look? Hot.
- You're just saying that.
- Yeah.
He's over there looking for a woman on her own.
Well, he's in luck.
Evening, ladies.
I hate standing in queues.
- What you doing? - There's a queue.
You want me to wait in a queue? Evening, girls, in you go.
- All right, ladies.
- Hi.
What you playing at? Make a noise, say you're on the guest list, otherwise I'm gonna have a riot on my hands.
Right.
Okay.
I'm on the guest list, you fat bastard.
I'm on the guest list, too.
No, I don't think you are, you'll have to wait.
Look at this, eh? What a great place.
Watch the exit by the toilet.
You're kidding? - You look lonely.
- Lonely is a state of mind.
Buy you a drink? I'm all right for the minute, but thanks.
Another time.
You're not buying your own drink, are you? I'll get you one after we've had a dance.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You're waiting for someone, right? Yeah, he just got here.
- Drink? - I'd love one.
Vodka and coke.
- How's the drink? - Yeah.
Good, thanks.
Are you trying to get me drunk? Would I do something like that? - I've not seen you in here before.
- I've been here.
Can't believe I've never noticed.
Well, you have now.
Yeah.
Where? Zulu 1 to November 7.
Zulu 1 to November 7.
- What are you doing here? - Following instructions.

Get a message to him.
There must be somebody on that operation on radio.
Now! Just have to make a quick call.
- I don't want you to go.
- I'll be right back.
No.
You don't understand.
I don't want you to go because you're under arrest.
Mallory, stop him! Police! Get out of the way! Mallory! Move! Move! Stop him.
Back off! Police! That's the third time that car's been by.
It's him.

I'll go, boss.
No, Frank.
If you go, he'll know he's being set up.
I'll go.
Is he alone in the car? Yeah.
Now, Frank, you wait here.
Make sure nobody's joining him.
Patrick, can you get over to his car without being seen? Yeah.
Right, let's go get him.
Have you got the money? Shot fired, officer down! Shot fired, officer down! Shot fired, officer down! You'll be all right, Sarah.

All right.
Help me.
Sir! I want Cole Speak to Cole Cole.
They've taken him straight to the operating theatre.
How bad is it? Nicky, I heard him when they brought him in.
He kept asking for you.
What happened, Frank? - It went wrong.
- It went wrong? - That's the best you can do? - That's all I know.
Did you get the bloke that shot him? Paddy? He lost him.
Yeah, I lost him! The bloke was armed, what was I gonna do? And don't think you can stand there getting all righteous on me.
You weren't there, were you? Were you? Where were you, Cole, eh? If you'd have turned up - If I'd turned up, what? - If you'd turned up then Enough, Paddy! It went wrong.
That's all there is.
We were told he wouldn't be carrying! Who told you? - Who told you! - I told them.
We know who shot him, we'll get him.
Now just leave it.
You go on.
There's no point to this.
You go on.
I've got to stay here anyway.
Let me know how he is.
Red.
It should be red.
Ferraris are red.
British racing green.
- I like red cars.
- Well, get Georgina to buy you one.
- Are you sure you'll remember where it all goes? - I remember everything.
Yeah, Cole.
How is he? Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks.
British racing green.
British car, British colour.
There's a truth in that.
Don't you think you should go talk to him? No, no.
Let him go.
Let him do what he has to do.
He'll come back, when he's ready.
Soul intact.
Thanks to BlackAmber/Sub
Draw them in, check them out, and if they're really ugly, I tell them I'm a dentist.
How did you guys find this place? - We ask around during our shift.
- Hen dos can cause a lot of trouble.
And when they come down from Scotland for a hen night - Oh, very lively.
- The best.
Mind you, Geordies are the friendliest.
Anybody can pull.
Look and learn.
- How's it going, pet? - Not gonna happen.
- Anybody can pull but Clarky.
- She must be from Sunderland.
So, this is what you guys do in your free time? You take advantage of drunk girls? Mind you, you can't always expect it to come to you.
Sometimes you have to go hunting.
- Hunting? - Watch the master.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Evening, ladies.
And what do you do? I'm a dentist.
Thanks to BlackAmber/Sub - He left his keys in the car? - When he went to pay.
And the two teenagers took the car? Male.
One white.
One Asian.
They've been stopped near the Bigg Market.
Car's been recovered.
- Glad to be of help.
- Just wanted you to feel needed.
Thanks.
I do.
- Tell me it isn't true.
- What? Fox in the hen house? Yeah, Clark and Astel were trying to corrupt me.
They get all the best jobs.

Control, reconfirm address.
Nothing's happening here.
Forman Way, address confirmed.
What's this about? - I can trust you now.
- You always could.
They were desperate, you know, in London, to get rid of you.
Anyone who would shop his boss, on principle, that was someone I wanted here.
I thought you were at Hendon with my old DI.
Well, I never liked Simmons.
Instinct, I suppose.
Him beating up a suspect? Not much of a surprise.
Never trusted him.
Your instincts on who to trust are better than mine.
I kept you on nights for a reason.
I wanted you to work alone.
Detectives can get too cosy.
Well, there's no fear of me getting cosy, is there? I organised for George to offer you money.
Detective Inspector Carter, you do not have to say anything.
- Oh, don't be stupid, Nicky.
- But it may harm your defence - I wasn't trying to buy you.
- If you do not mention, when questioned, - something which you may later rely on in court.
- I was testing you.
You passed the test.
You put me through this as a bloody test? - Let go of me.
- What are you gonna do? Report me? I knew you didn't take the money.
I didn't think it would get to Professional Standards.
- And I'm sorry about that.
- You're sorry? You set me up and that's the best you can do? Say you're sorry? You knew I was clean.
Why didn't you say so straightaway? It wasn't really in my interests to have to explain to the Chief how I knew, was it? Your interests? I don't give a damn about your interests.
I'm gonna report what you've done.
You won't be able to prove it.
They'll never believe you.
You've a history of reporting senior officers.
Nobody likes that.
I'm gonna have you.
You can trust me on that.
I wouldn't have told you anything if I didn't trust you.
I need to trust you.
I think somebody in the shop is bought and paid for.
I don't know who it is and I've no hard evidence.
But I'm hoping I've got an outsider I can trust.
Do I? So what do you do if you're serious about a girl? I always take girls I'm serious about to meet me mum.
You do? Well, you got to make sure there's some chemistry there.
Between your mum and your girlfriend? Chemistry? Two most important women in a man's life.
You want to make sure they get along, don't you? So do they meet your mother before you sleep with them? Well, I said girls I'm serious about.
Of course I sleep with them first.
- Thank God for that.
- Well, then I take them to see me mum, only when I know we've got things we can talk about, mind.
- You mean like you and me? - Yeah.
Is this the road we're on? Yeah.
This is it.
I wouldn't mind meeting your mother.
Aye, you'd love her.
- So where's the naked drunk? - Top end near the garages.
What's happened to us? Gonna get you warm.
You're all right.
Don't be frightened.
You're safe now.
Let's get you into the car.
Lucy Mills.
Ambulance is taking her to hospital to be examined.
She's exhausted and feels like she's lost the last eight hours of her life.
She was drunk? She'd been drinking but swears it wasn't enough to make her drunk.
She remembers having a vodka and orange in the Safari Club, then feeling sick.
That's it.
- Where did you find her things? - Over there.
Anything stolen? Can't be sure, but her cash, credit cards, phone, keys were all in her bag so it doesn't look like it.
- How far is the club from here? - 300 yards down the road.
The bouncer remembers her leaving because it was early and she seemed very drunk, but a well-dressed bloke was helping her out so he didn't think too much of it.
Can he describe the bloke? Yeah.
Average guy.
Average height.
Average-looking, average everything.
So she could have got attacked here while she was on her way home.
She doesn't recall being attacked.
The hospital's keeping her in for observation.
- You've done sexual-offence training? - Yeah.
I'm gonna need you with me when I speak to her.
Shift's over in an hour.
Keep the scene secured until forensics get here.
We might get some DNA.
- If we're lucky.
- Yeah.
- Errol? - Hey.
What have you done? You can't park that piece of junk outside the house.
It's not junk.
It's a project.
And where else am I gonna park it? - How long's this project gonna take? - Hard to say.
I'll get started right away but it will depend on cash flow.
- It'll just sit there - If the cash isn't flowing.
I hope you didn't pay a lot of money for it.
No.
I always buy well.
That's the secret.
But it needs so much work.
That's how I buy well.
He even towed it over for free.
- Towed it? - Yep.
- You mean it doesn't run? - No.
How can you buy well if they run? Errol, I can't believe you've done this without asking me.
I didn't ask because I knew you wouldn't have the vision for it.
Errol, we can't afford to pour money into an old car.
It's just gonna sit in front of the house and fall to bits.
No, call the crook who sold it to you and ask him if he'll come back and get it.
- Morning.
- Morning.
- You're up early.
- Oh, I just got back from my power walk.
- Power walk? - Oh, running makes your breasts sag.
It's true.
Georgina showed me the article.
And I was thinking I was not gonna learn something new today.
- Have you spoken to him? - Who? Himself over there.
The scrap-metal collector.
You people have no vision.
I said to Errol last night when it arrived.
You can't leave it outside your house like that.
I mean, what will people think? What do you mean? What will they think? They'll think we live in a ghetto.
A ghetto? Don't get cross, Nicky.
Deep down she's a nice woman.
Errol, do we care what people think? It's best you answer your own question.
Listen, Georgina, I've had a word with the "scrap collector" and I've told him he's bought a beauty and I'm gonna help him restore it.
And when it's done, we're gonna drive down the road of our ghetto together and we're gonna turn heads, all right? Is Matty still asleep? Tell him I'll see him when I wake up.
- Did I do well? - Outstanding.
- He reacted just like you said he would.
- I know him pretty well.
- What have you got? - Poxy burglar.
Caught red-handed last night.
One of our regulars, but this time he's not slipping the noose.
You? Oh, couple of lads who pinched a car from a petrol station forecourt last night.
They've got previous .
It reads like a novel.
- I think it might be clear-up day.
- I think it might be.
I got 50 quid that says I'll close more files than you.
Fifty? Hundred.
Done.
Shall I go first and set the target or do you want to? Knock yourself out.
Sergeant, I'd like to speak to me suspect.
I wasn't driving.
My mate said it was his car.
Is that right? It's not gonna work this time, Davey.
We've got your prints on the rear-view mirror of the car and on the gear stick.
You're cooked.
Deny it and this goes to court.
You'll go down.
Work with me now and let's see if we can keep you out of prison.
What do you mean? I've got a list of car thefts that match your MO and your description.
I need to know if you did them.
I'm not gonna charge you with them.
But you admit to doing them, I'm gonna take them into consideration.
You help me and I'll do my best to help you.
And you're not gonna charge me with them? No.
They'll go before the court on the back of last night's charge and the judge will give you lots of credit for being such an honest bloke.
Okay? Okay.
Good man.
Right.
November 3rd.
Petrol forecourt on Hillman road.
A white Peugeot - Convertible? - Yeah.
Aye.
Nice little runner that one.
Okay.
TIC.
December 1 st.
The loading zone at Newcastle Airport.
Blue Audi? TIC.
- Nine.
- Nine? You can just pay me now if you want.
Piece of piss.
Sergeant.
Get him.
It was more like popping round for a visit than a burglary.
People are funny, eh? Aye.
Christmas Eve.
Same road.
Number 28.
Aye, I took the TV and the video but I left the presents.
Yeah, that was festive of you.
Well, I'm not evil.
Get your wallet.
- You're joking.
- Twelve.
Come on, let's see the money.
- Will you calm down, sir? - What makes you think I'm not calm? I'm just doing my job, all right? Just answer the questions for me, yes? Please, eh? Come on, now.
Is there an agreement in writing? Is this the rat-bag that sold you that lump of rubbish outside? No.
Is this your partner, sir? No! He's my nephew.
Who are you? What do you want? Alan Holt.
Visiting Officer, investigating a benefits claim.
Do either of you work? You only answered the "who are you" part.
What do you want? There's been two claims for benefits on behalf of Matthew Cole, age eight.
I'm investigating how that might have happened.
And your uncle has not been very cooperative.
Must be a computer error.
Benefits have been paid to his mother, a Tina Wilcox of Flat 28, Balforth House, London SW8, for the past eight years.
A Mr Errol Hill has also submitted a claim recently.
We only moved here recently.
In which he says that Matthew Cole lives at this address.
He does.
- Are you the boy's father? - No, I'm his uncle.
So the boy lives here and not with his mother? As I've said, Matty lives here.
Is there something confusing about that? - Is there a reason for it? - Yes.
May I ask why that is? Ask his mother.
It's not helpful to be obstructive.
We take benefit fraud very seriously.
Can I just confirm your name? Dominic Cole.
Thank you.
- Would it be okay to see Matty's room? - Hmm.
If you're worried about fraud, speak to his mother.
I have.
Twenty-one clear-ups in a day? Just trying to make you look good, boss.
Who won the bet? Frank.
Experience will out.
Carter.
We've got another shooting.
On your bikes.
The boy likes Fulham? Yeah, yeah, it's a burden he's prepared to suffer.
- I'm an Evertonian.
- Oh, that's amazing.
So is Errol.
- Yes, I am.
- Another Toffee.
It's our second team.
Isn't it, Errol? Yes, yes, it is.
- We're everywhere.
- Yeah.
How long will Matty be visiting with you? The rest of his life.
- You have residence? - Yeah.
And is that agreement in writing? Is there a court order? No.
Okay.
Thank you.
Miss Wilcox was adamant that Matthew would be returning soon.
If there is a dispute, that's a matter for Social Services and the court.
There's no dispute.
She's a crack head.
She can barely look after herself.
That's really none of my concern.
Is that it, then? For now.
Thank you for your time.
- I'll call Tina.
- No, you won't.
Every time you speak to that woman things get worse.
Why did you apply for benefits? We don't need the money or the trouble.
That money was Matty's.
I was going to put it aside for him.
It's just going to open this whole thing up.
We have to deal with it, Nicky.
If she gets Social Services involved - She's a drug addict.
How can she? - By lying.
She's lied before.
She lies every day and if she thinks she's been caught, she'll lie again.
Hmm.
Leave it with me, Nicky.
I'll sort it.
Who was the victim? A customer who tried to be a hero.
- Weapon? - Handgun.
We'll know the calibre when we recover the bullet at the hospital.
That's Margaret Pittins, the shop manager.
CCTV? Scheduled to be repaired tomorrow.
Handy.
- Inside job? - Yeah, it's a line I'll follow.
Staff and service company employees? Yeah, I'll look at them both and anyone else that knew the cameras were down.
- Third handgun in a month.
- Bad things come in threes.
Any kind of description? Yeah, two men, Geordie accents, six foot, wearing gloves and balaclavas.
Long gone before officers arrived.
It's the same MO as the jewellery shop robbery on Park Street.
This time they used the gun.
- We haven't got very far on that one, have we? - Still pursuing it.
They left the scene in a silver car.
Thought to be a Ford.
No one got the reg.
Frank, you and Patrick, talk to some of your contacts.
They'll get rid of the gun now they've used it.
They'll be looking to buy more.
Someone will be selling.
There might be some chatter.
This is organised and they're laughing at us.
I want the guns off the street.
You two can get 100 clear-ups in a day, but it doesn't mean diddly-squat if we cannot stop the guns.
Yeah? Yeah, boss.
I didn't think you'd come.
Then why are you still sitting here? - Do you want to sit down? - No.
I won't be here long.
Look, this is not a good situation for me.
I don't want anything from you.
I should have been involved in this decision.
You should have told me.
You should have asked me what I thought.
James, I'm thinking of keeping the baby.
What do you think? I don't think it's a good idea.
Well, I do.
Do you feel involved? - You took the decision away from me.
- It was never your decision to make.
Look, you're not in control and I know that's hard for you.
That's where we've been for months.
Get over it.
How can I leave my wife? What am I supposed to do? You're not listening to me.
I don't want you to leave your wife.
If I did Well, then you'd be alone.
Claire, please.
Sit down and talk to me.
James, I'm not going to hurt you.
I am not going to do anything to embarrass you.
And I'm not going to be with you.
That's where we've been, that's where we are and it won't change, okay? He steps up to take the penalty.
He shoots! Cole dives to his left.
The Fulham keeper is beaten.
That was lucky.
Luck has got nothing to do with it, mate.
It's pure skill.
Your turn, go on.
This is it.
Little Matty Cole looks anxious as he prepares to take his chance from the spot.
Do you think my mum loves me? Why you asking that? This man came to our school and he wanted to talk to Miss Kerry about my mum and where I lived.
Yeah, well, we spoke to him.
It's nothing to worry about.
I'm not worried.
I just wondered.
I'm not gonna lie to you, Matty.
I don't know the answer to that.
But I do know I love you.
Hey! Hey! Goal! I was just looking for you.
I've got Lucy Mills downstairs.
- Lucy Mills? - The girl last night.
- Oh, I got you.
I'll be down in a minute.
- All right.
Come in.
Hey.
I was just thinking about you.
- This doesn't look like tidying up.
- Well, it's the last day before I leave.
Just clearing the place up for the next champion of justice.
- How's Matty? - Yeah, yeah, he's good.
Actually, I was wondering, do you know anything about family law? No.
Are you and Errol getting divorced? They always say fat people are funny.
Yeah.
I mean look at me.
Look, look! I look like I'm having triplets.
- Well, you might be.
- Don't, please, don't even say it.
What do you need a family lawyer for? I might need the courts to officially give Matty to me.
What, he doesn't have residence with you? It was a kind of informal arrangement.
- Why, his mother wants him back? - Might be, or it's just money.
You don't think she wants him back because she loves him? It's crossed my mind.
I just want to know what my rights are in case it goes ugly.
Well, I'll ask around.
See if I can find somebody for you.
Thank you.
So when are you due? Ah, six weeks.
You're not scared, going through this alone? Well, I've got my mother, who naturally is horrified that I'm having a child out of wedlock, but she hides it really well.
Errol asked me if I had anything to do with it.
Well, he's really not good at maths.
Well, he's just naturally suspicious of any woman who turns up at the house pregnant.
- Why? Have you got a track record? - No! Absolutely not.
That I know of.
No, he just thought you might be trying to lure me into some sort of trap.
Excuse me? Sorry, why would I want to trap you? That's what I said.
You're going to go mad, aren't you, sitting around with nothing to do? Well, I'll try and keep busy but thank you for your concern.
To be honest, I'm gonna be glad to get a break from this place.
Come here, I want to show you something.
Yates and Maguire get 21 clear-ups in a morning.
They're not gonna charge anyone but it makes their numbers look good.
So much for victims' rights.
Really taking them into consideration.
Well, you guys make it too hard to get a conviction.
Maybe if there was a bit more conviction from the coppers, they might put the bad guys away.
Ooh.
You definitely need a rest.
Do you think? I'm having a little leaving do tomorrow.
- Tomorrow night? I'm working.
- About 5:00.
My place.
Stop in.
Okay, I will.
Thanks.
And by the way, you don't look fat.
Oh, thanks, but I have mirrors at my place and they don't lie.
- Aren't you all girly and sensitive? - I don't deny it.
Don't they say that women are more attractive when they're pregnant? That's only because there's more to admire.
Unbelievable.
You even argue about a compliment.
Well, isn't that why you like me? I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah, it looks like Paul.
I'll go and talk to him.
No, I'll do it.
You stay here.
- He knows me.
- Stay here! - Paul? - Yeah.
I want to have a word.
They used the bloody gun, didn't they? The gaffer isn't happy.
If he's not happy, the sky opens and a tonne of shit's gonna fall on everyone's head.
We want the shooter.
Don't care about anyone else.
If they come to buy, I need to know about it, yeah? You with me? Mmm-hmm.
Do yourself a favour, put the word out.
No trace of the drug in her blood.
No semen.
Traces of a lubricant consistent with a condom.
Is there anything to work with? I've spoken to her and she's seen a counsellor but she's still pretty tortured.
She doesn't really know what happened.
The weird thing is I can remember arriving at the club.
I was gonna meet my friends there.
- Did you meet them? - No.
They were late.
I remember sending them a text asking them where they were.
Well, did they text you back? Yeah.
That's how I knew they were late.
But I don't hardly remember anything after that.
- Do you have your phone with you? - Yeah.
It might give us a time frame.
Yeah.
No problem.
I got it at 8:57.
Does who have a friend? There was this guy hitting on us.
How would she know he was cute? Are you okay? I can almost remember taking it.
I must have sent it to her.
I remember him, but I don't.
Do you think this could be him? It's okay.
You can't remember because we think someone put a drug in your drink.
GHB, the date-rape drug.
We don't know that's what it was.
There was no trace of it in your blood.
Your story is consistent with GHB.
You're not imagining things.
What if it wasn't him? What if he was just being nice? Nothing in my head makes any sense.
You think I was raped, right? Just say it.
Yes, Lucy, I'm afraid we do.
They said I should have an HIV test.
In my head, it's like this is happening to someone else, not me.
It's like it's not real.
Everyone says they think.
Could the doctor not tell when she examined us? No.
There was the bruising and some slight tearing, but nothing else.
We think the man who assaulted you used a condom.
Lucy, we want to pursue this.
We want to make sure the guy that did this to you is caught and punished.
I have a boyfriend, right? What am I gonna tell him? Let's not worry about him right now.
I have a good job, you know.
In a good company and people like me.
- They think I'm a responsible person.
- You didn't do anything wrong.
I've read about what they do to people who say they've been raped.
They make them look horrible, and they can remember everything.
I can't tell you what happened.
Don't you understand? Ah, cheers.
You all right? Yeah.
I hate those the worst.
There's nothing you can do.
Yeah, yeah, well, I've checked the database.
There've been five alleged assaults involving spiked drinks in the last few months.
The last three at the Safari Club.
- No suspects? - No.
No suspects.
No leads.
Only crime numbers.
And that's only the ones we know about.
Remind me not to go to the Safari Club.
Actually, I was thinking that's exactly where we should go.
I mean, we think we know what he looks like and you've got a good line in chat.
Hasn't worked on you or Mallory yet but I'll still take that as a compliment.
I'll need backup to make sure you're safe.
I've got a couple of blokes in mind who are good in a club.
- I'm the bait? - That's not so far-fetched.
I think I better warn you that I might talk a good game but my record on the pitch is pretty dreary.
- You're due then.
- Oh, just my luck.
When I pull it will be with a rapist.
- You're sure you're okay with this? - Yeah.
Right, we'll aim for tomorrow night.
I'll set it up and get Carter to sign off on it.
Right.
All right.
- All right, son.
- Frank.
Stop messing me about! Yeah? Waste of space.
- All right, see you then.
- Good night.
I told him we wanted the guns.
He thought I was being funny.
I didn't want him to think that.
He's got the message.
Let's go.
Today's shooting means we need to push resources in that direction.
The boss won't tolerate a rise in gun crime.
Sir, we think we know who the rapist is.
Okay, we believe he's a regular there.
We'll just eyeball the place and see if he turns up.
How many officers? Brookes, Clark, Astel, Mallory and me.
Let me do my job, sir.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
We need to make an arrest.
The gunman at the jeweller's.
I'm gonna need you in on that.
And when I do, it's a priority.
- I understand, sir.
- Do you? Look, I don't really care if you don't like me.
In fact, I can understand if you don't.
But I meant what I said, Nicky.
I need someone I can trust.
I'll be there for you, sir.
- What's your problem? - You.
We go around trying to intimidate people we need to work with.
I'm sending them a message.
It's gonna blow back on us, man.
We're not gonna get their help.
I'm not their boyfriend, Paddy.
You wanna be, that's your business.
It's not how I do it.
You make this a contest, you'll lose.
Look, we got a clear brief.
Whoever's supplying the guns needs to know we won't wear it.
We're only gonna get the information if they trust us.
Think! Trust us? Where do you live? They used a gun.
Because somebody pushed them too hard.
Yeah? I haven't begun to push them yet.
Look, if this is all too hard for you, it's too scary, tell the boss and go and investigate a traffic accident.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You look like a man with a plan.
Early train to catch .
Matty's getting dressed.
I want to talk to a solicitor before we go any further.
I said I would sort it.
I will.
I'm going to see her.
Talk to her.
Don't need solicitors.
You were the one that warned me about making things worse.
You would.
I won't.
I just think we should know where we stand before we do anything.
I have to speak to the boy's mother.
I have to look her in the eye.
That's where we stand.
- Who's going to look after Matty? - He's coming with me.
- I've already called the school.
- No.
No, he's not, Errol.
You're not doing this to him.
It's the boy's mother.
Nothing we can do will change that.
He hasn't been to see her in over a year.
You may not like it but he needs to see her and I need to speak to her to sort this out.
I'm going, Nicky.
Don't try and stop me.
- Errol - Hey.
Hey.
I'm going to see my mother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Georgina's waiting to drive us to the station.
Come on, boy.
Oi, come back with your soul intact.
Mmm-hmm.
And the victim? Right.
But stable? Okay, I'll let the boss know.
Thanks.
.
38 calibre.
Not hollow.
Right.
Pittins, the jewellery shop manager, says she saw the gun.
Now, we're getting some photos.
I mean, she might recognise the make.
Hmm.
Yates.
You wait here.
I'll call for you.
I came to see how you are.
Yeah, right.
The benefits are mine.
It's my right.
So, this is about money? How much do you want? Do you think this is about money? It's my boy I care about.
I love him.
- You can't steal a child like that.
- Nobody stole nothing.
I've been thinking, you know, and I want him back here with me where he belongs.
I'm offering you money.
It's my last offer.
I asked around.
All I got to do is tell a story to Social Services and you're finished.
Okay.
You can have Matty.
I brought him with me.
What? Hey, Matty? Come on up here, boy.
I brought a few things for him.
He's here? He's gonna stay with me? Here? Well, that's what you want.
I haven't said anything to Social Services.
Not yet.
Maybe he could just visit.
- You said you loved him.
- Yeah.
I do love him.
Well, he needs to know that.
It's the benefits, that's all.
They said I was gonna go to prison if I was lying.
That's all it was.
I was never gonna say anything about you.
Hi.
Hi.
Look at you.
You've grown so much.
Your mother wants to say something to you.
No, I She wants to tell you how much she loves you.
She loves you so much that she thinks it's better that you live with Nicky and me.
Yeah.
I love you that much.
Cole.
Hey! How did it go? Is Matty okay? Hey, you all right, huh? Yeah.
She loves me.
Does she? - Yeah.
- She does.
Okay.
Come on.
Everything's sorted now.
No more trouble.
Right, let's get you home.
How about pizza tonight? - Can I have a word, boss? - Yeah.
- It's about the shooting.
- Do you want to get Frank in? No.
It's better if it's just you and me.
Go on.
I got an informant.
The lads who did the jeweller's shop, they're willing to give up the gunman.
- There's a but? - Yeah.
Maguire's going around stirring things up.
Making threats.
They don't want him or me anywhere near it.
And no uniforms.
We need to use a detective that they don't know to make the meeting.
And it can't look like a set-up.
If it does, he'll be on his toes.
- What's on offer? - You were right about them needing clean guns.
There's gonna be a pick-up.
I'll get a call just before it happens.
Now, there will be time but they won't guarantee how much.
- When? - In the next 24 hours.
Will the subject be alone at the pick-up? Guaranteed.
And they guarantee he'll be unarmed.
He's expecting to meet a courier with a gun, and that'll be our detective who makes the arrest.
Did you get this from a principal? No.
A messenger.
I don't know who the principals are.
But it's reliable and I promised I'd protect my source.
- That's why it's just two-way here, yeah? - Yeah.
Maguire needs to back-off.
I hear you.
Come in.
Sorry I'm late.
- Have I got the wrong day? - No.
And you're not particularly late.
Bit humiliating, isn't it? A goodbye party with no friends.
Well, you were the only friend I wanted to invite.
Thank you.
I guess I'm honoured.
Well, you don't have to stay.
What, and leave you with all these guests? I wanted to be alone with you.
Have I got this wrong? - No.
- No, okay.
So, it's just a tad awkward and neither of us can get drunk.
Would that help? Well, it would provide mitigation.
Who would have thought mitigation could sound so sexy? If you like that, I know plenty of other big words.
No.
Would you like to put your feet up? Look, the last time I did that, look what happened to me.
Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine, just, you know Learning to live with my mistakes.
Am I one of them? I don't know yet.
Are you? I hope not.
Claire, I have to go, right now.
Why do you think I invited you at five? You can pick up a doorman's outfit from at the club.
They'll sort one out for you.
I think large will do for you, won't it, Rick? Everyone else, I want you to be appropriately dressed for a nightclub.
You, Brookes, inappropriately.
All right, off you go.
Nicky? Close the door.
The shooter, we've got an opportunity to take him.
It's from an informant.
I need an officer unknown to him to make the arrest.
Okay.
I don't know the precise time yet.
But when the call comes I'll need you to drop everything and be there.
All right, sir.
How come you get to be the doorman? Do you look like a doorman? I don't think so.
- And you do? - I can do intimidating, you can't.
And the uniform they've got fits me.
Right, if the bloke turns up, Rick will signal me and I will radio you.
Mallory, keep an eye on Brookes and do not let her out of your sight, all right? This job just gets better and better.
- All right, girls.
Enjoy yourselves.
- Will do.
- All right, girls.
Enjoy yourselves.
- Hiya.
Evening, sir.
Have a good time.
Thanks a lot, mate.
He's here.
November 7, Uniform 8 and Uniform 5, we're on.
All right? Here.
Have one on me.
All right? I've seen you round here before, haven't I? What's your name? How do I look? I'm not meant to know you.
Yeah, all right, you don't.
How do I look? Hot.
- You're just saying that.
- Yeah.
He's over there looking for a woman on her own.
Well, he's in luck.
Evening, ladies.
I hate standing in queues.
- What you doing? - There's a queue.
You want me to wait in a queue? Evening, girls, in you go.
- All right, ladies.
- Hi.
What you playing at? Make a noise, say you're on the guest list, otherwise I'm gonna have a riot on my hands.
Right.
Okay.
I'm on the guest list, you fat bastard.
I'm on the guest list, too.
No, I don't think you are, you'll have to wait.
Look at this, eh? What a great place.
Watch the exit by the toilet.
You're kidding? - You look lonely.
- Lonely is a state of mind.
Buy you a drink? I'm all right for the minute, but thanks.
Another time.
You're not buying your own drink, are you? I'll get you one after we've had a dance.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You're waiting for someone, right? Yeah, he just got here.
- Drink? - I'd love one.
Vodka and coke.
- How's the drink? - Yeah.
Good, thanks.
Are you trying to get me drunk? Would I do something like that? - I've not seen you in here before.
- I've been here.
Can't believe I've never noticed.
Well, you have now.
Yeah.

There must be somebody on that operation on radio.
Now! Just have to make a quick call.
- I don't want you to go.
- I'll be right back.
No.
You don't understand.
I don't want you to go because you're under arrest.

All right.
Help me.
Sir! I want Cole Speak to Cole Cole.
They've taken him straight to the operating theatre.
How bad is it? Nicky, I heard him when they brought him in.
He kept asking for you.
What happened, Frank? - It went wrong.
- It went wrong? - That's the best you can do? - That's all I know.
Did you get the bloke that shot him? Paddy? He lost him.
Yeah, I lost him! The bloke was armed, what was I gonna do? And don't think you can stand there getting all righteous on me.
You weren't there, were you? Were you? Where were you, Cole, eh? If you'd have turned up - If I'd turned up, what? - If you'd turned up then Enough, Paddy! It went wrong.

Thanks to BlackAmber/Sub
