Criminal Record (2024) s02e07 Episode Script

1
The attack…
- It's on. It's happening.
- When?
He just gave the order. Tomorrow.
All right, and do you have anything else?
Anything specific?
I might do, I might.
Um, we-we're all in his office, right?
He's saying it's gonna be unforgettable,
gonna be huge.
And someone's like, "Ain't you nervous?"
And he taps this drawing
and he's like, uh,
"Nah, mate. It's all worked out."
What drawing? What's it… what's it of?
Like a… What do you call it?
Um… Like a building plan.
Well, can you show it to us?
Our camera
outside Cosmo's flat is still live.
Billy?
Billy, are you ther
- Billy?
- Yeah.
You all right, geez?
Yeah!
What you doing in there?
Longest piss in history.
I was getting worried.
I thought you might've passed out
on me again.
Nah, I'm… I'm…
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy there.
Come on, come over here.
You know, I keep thinking
about what happened in the hut.
- Yeah?
- Must've been tough.
Then I was thinking about
how lucky you was to come out alive.
Mmm, yeah.
Then I thought,
"Well, maybe it weren't luck."
Maybe you were saved so you could step up.
Do something.
Make a difference.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
When I think of you ♪
My heart remembers ♪
All the love we've ever had ♪
All the love we've ever had ♪
Just me and you ♪
When I think of you ♪
Just me and you ♪
Just me and you
Just me and you ♪
…we're all in his office, right?
And he's talking all about tomorrow…
…and he's saying it's gonna be
unforgettable, gonna be huge.
And someone's like, "Ain't you nervous?"
And he taps this drawing and he's like,
"Nah, mate. It's all worked out."
- When was this?
- Just now.
- Tomorrow?
- Yes, sir.
This is no longer
an intelligence gathering.
It's a credible threat.
So you'll be working alongside
Commander Riley
until the subjects are detained.
We've paused the arrest team
since Billy made contact,
because he's got something.
A drawing.
He's shown willing.
And I think we can argue that
we've got him back.
What do we think it is? A possible target?
We don't know for sure
because Cosmo has switched off the CCTV.
So with just our cameras,
we've got limited eyes inside The Depot.
And you currently have no location
of the explosives?
No, but we're trying.
I mean, the maker was blown up
in the botched test,
so we're following leads and…
Look, I thought
our priority was public safety.
You know, preserving the pathway
to conviction without loss of life.
How? You don't have the bombs
and you don't have the factory.
With your help.
Yeah, we-we can't monitor the bombs,
but we can monitor the cell.
I mean,
they're all contained at the moment.
So why don't we give Billy the chance
to do his job?
He can search The Depot,
see if there's any more evidence
that could lead to the bombs.
Give us a minute.
Poor thing.
He's like the dog who sits
by his dead master's bedside.
He's gone, Kim. He's gone.
- How's life in exile?
- Oh, I thought,
you know, "A day at the spa. Why not?"
Counter Terror are here.
Everything's ramping up.
They were just in with June and Ivy.
Yeah, well, Billy's messages
loosened up the purse strings.
Oh, yeah, you better believe it.
It's like an evangelical church here.
Suddenly everyone's a believer.
Oh, hang on. Coming out again.
Call you back.
So, I can put double men on the ground
and set up spotters on the roof.
I can increase vehicles on the street
and set up an invisible roadblock
around the gym.
- Well, that sounds
- Live satellites,
increased phone monitoring,
vehicle tracking.
These guys so much as
step out for a cigarette
and you'd be able to read the brand.
But there's still
six bombs unaccounted for.
Question is do you want to take the risk?
DI Lenker.
Now if you don't think
we have control of the asset…
No. We have the asset back.
So let's give him a chance to deliver.
Okay. Stand down the arrest team.
It's wild, innit?
A couple of hours ago, some geezer
rocked up to Rohaan's mum's salon.
Lobbed a molly cocktail
through her window.
It's all kicking off.
Look, police piling in. Horses.
It's mental.
The word is spreading, boy.
We're just getting started.
- How long we gonna be down here?
- Be patient.
Well, fuck that.
When are we even gonna
see these bombs? Where are they?
I said sit down
and shut the fuck up.
It's bullshit, man.
Hi, Dan. This is Tyler Olise
from Internal Affairs.
You have 24 hours to submit
all your files relating to Billy Fielding.
That's the four weeks leading up
to the Suffolk Square murder.
We'll be asking all the members
of your team to do the same.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
We need that phone.
But I need it to talk to Billy!
Wait, what are you doing?
No, no, no, no. No, wait.
Get it straight over
to Intelligence, please.
- Yes, sir.
- Wait. Wait. Oi, wait.
I'm Billy's contact.
Right, you can't… What if he calls back?
I'm sorry, but it isn't up to me.
Wait, no, listen… Fuck.
Listen, what is this all about?
Your team was tracking Billy Fielding
since before his escape.
Hang on a minute. You think we knew
someone was going to get hurt
at Suffolk Square?
- You coming down?
- Soon.
Kieran's nervous. He could do with a word.
Geezer's in hospital. One of the police,
in Beeston, on his deathbed.
- The boys wanna know where the
- All right, Nigel.
Be down in a minute when I've…
Just give Kieran some fucking Calpol.
Look at this.
Look, we've hit the big time.
Half of them have got my merch on.
It's not…
It's not just Beeston now either.
This is Hartlepool, this is Luton.
It's a fucking movement, Billy Boy.
Our subs are fucking
through the roof.
Look, look. No bots anymore either.
This is flesh and blood, mate.
1.1 million followers.
You should put something out there.
- Eh?
- This is… You started this.
You should be taking the credit.
Yeah. Yeah, you're right 'cause
they should hear from me, shouldn't they?
My people.
- Andy? Yeah…
- All right, boss?
…meet me in the studio. I wanna do a clip.
- Later, yeah?
- No, now you muppet!
Sit tight.
…pictures from the scene
of the salon where Zaynab Hussain worked…
June. He's alone. Billy's alone.
Oh, okay.
Okay, do we need
the color chart up again?
There we are.
Now remember, this is an official memo
from the Police Training Academy.
Okay, right.
Now, up here we have got
the peaceful protesters, yes,
the passionate demonstrators,
and my favorite one,
the community activists.
Hi.
What's he doing?
Oh, what is that? Is that…
Is that the target?
Okay, Sian can you grab-grab that
and send it straight across to Jen?
See if you can get a match
on what that is.
So, whereas you lot, all down here,
you pasty faces in Beeston,
you lot outside the cop shops
up and down the country right now,
you are labeled very clearly…
violent hooligans.
Yep. I've got a match on the blueprint.
It's The Depot.
It's just a blueprint of the gym.
The gym?
- June.
- Yeah.
Did you get it?
Oi.
I think it's the target. It's…
Billy, listen. This is not JP.
This is June Lenker. We met in the van.
Do you remember?
It's not the target.
The blueprint, it's a…
it's a map of The Depot or of the gym.
Where's… Where's JP?
We need you to keep pushing
to find us these bombs. Okay?
Where-Where-Where's JP?
JP… JP is hurt.
I think you saw what happened.
- Well, where's Dan?
- Dan is… Dan is also not here.
But, Billy, Billy, listen. That's fine
because you can talk to me.
All right? You can trust me.
Keep digging, okay? Where are the bombs?
What are the targets?
Billy. Billy, you can do this.
Fuck!
Billy?
Billy?
Just…
It has not been possible
- to connect your call.
- It's off.
Fuck.
Okay. Right. Do you want me
to have a word with her?
Hang on.
You know, I gotta hand it to you.
You're nothing if not loyal.
Uh, we could go in together.
Try and shake the tree,
or I could get a message to Billy somehow?
No. Sit tight.
Billy doesn't want to speak to a stranger,
but he's still with us.
He'll push.
What makes you so sure?
He's not like them.
Besides, he's seen
what those bombs can do.
I'm here at Leeds Infirmary,
where police officer Blake Barton
is in a critical condition.
Hi.
Oh, hey.
Uh, right. So, spare clothes,
contact lenses, toothbrush.
I've even thrown a Yorkie bar in,
in case you get, you know, desperate.
Thanks. Lifesaver.
Um, you're hearing about this stuff
in Beeston, right?
You wanna be careful out there.
Oh, um, yeah, don't forget to
leave the car keys 'cause I need to, uh,
drop it into the…
Oh, God. Fuck.
That's becoming room…
"Roommates not lovers," isn't it?
Yeah, maybe a little.
But maybe that's my, uh…
What does she call it? My love language.
Don't worry, I borrowed a unit car.
You're just gonna shower and go?
Yeah. Hopefully should only be
for a couple of nights.
Okay, well, 'cause I could…
I could make you something to eat.
Because, you know, booking the car
for an MOT could wait.
Maybe.
At a push.
Okay. Well, fair enough.
- You okay?
- I need to speak to June.
- Sorry, who are you?
- June?
- Hey, hey. Hey, just… Whoa.
- June!
It's okay.
It's fine.
- Are you crazy? What are you doing here?
- I had Internal Affairs show up today.
Churning me up
on some bullshit investigation.
- Is it bullshit?
- I can't be doing my work.
I can't be where I'm needed.
What the fuck?
Right, I mean, how could you…
- Are you okay?
- Oi, oi. Stay away from me.
Hegarty has been running Billy
since before Suffolk Square.
- You were right there.
- And I told you I didn't know.
- But you…
- No.
What? You think I knew that they were
going there to hurt someone?
I don't know. Did you?
Wow. Wow.
And I opened up to you. I told you.
You saw…
- You saw how much that affected me.
- Yeah, I know.
What, you think I was just
playing you the whole time?
I don't know.
You think I was just
faking this whole thing?
This is not about me and you.
- This is… It's not personal.
- "Not personal"?
- No.
- It's not personal?
- JP.
- But you just so happen to screw me over
- straight after you meet my fiancée.
- Please.
- If Hegarty knew…
- He didn't know.
- If he knew, that is so
- So what? So over the line? Ruthless?
Yeah, I'd hate to be working
with someone like that.
Okay, right. Sorry, that's it.
That's enough. Time to go.
I'll see you around.
He's a good-looking guy.
Leo.
Do you want to talk about this now,
or shall we save it for the session?
Actually, do you know what?
Maybe we should just
save ourselves the bother and call it.
I'm sorry.
Good luck.
You nervous, Bill? About tomorrow?
You know, I've been thinking
about those boys in the trenches.
The nights before they went over.
Proper band of brothers stuff back then.
Yeah.
So let's talk
about Billy Fielding,
unfairly convicted of murder yesterday.
Sent down in the prime of his life.
I mean, there he is.
A stone-cold ten. Every lady's fantasy.
He is though.
Fucker looks like James Dean, don't he?
Beautiful. And what about her?
Let's-Let's get her up. Put her up. Go on.
I mean, what is that?
A charitable six? A five? A four? A three?
"Cerys". Is… Is that Welsh?
Is that a Welsh name?
Doesn't-Doesn't look Welsh to me.
I mean, it's against nature,
isn't it?
I would like to join
many others this morning,
sharing my shock and grief
at the death
of our colleague PC Blake Barton
in Leeds Infirmary overnight.
- This was not a random attack.
- Where's the remote? Nigel, where's the…
It was an act of violence…
…stoked by deliberate disinformation
and hate speech.
Anyone who has the courage
- to call themselves a police officer…
- I'm on the lame stream media.
…has the right to our respect.
- Have you got any leads?
- The riots?
What?
No, no. Um…
I just…
I just killed a copper.
…and we are appealing to anyone
who has information about
the death of PC Barton to come forward.
Shit.
- We have set up a dedicated anonymous…
- Yeah. It's… It's my first kill.
- …hotline that'll be open 24/7.
- So to speak.
Thank you.
PC Barton died…
…after being assaulted in
the Leeds suburb of Beeston. His murder…
A small crowd has gathered
outside the police station in Beeston
and tensions are…
Today's the day.
Your head's out there. What, on all that?
You've done so much for me. You know that?
I'd be in a ditch if it weren't for you
or… back inside.
And as for my threads…
I remember when you…
when you came and visited me in prison.
Them drinks you brought me, them treats…
kept me alive, you know?
I know you're nervous.
So let me be strong for you for once.
Just… I just want to help you.
What you up to?
Bill, come. Studio now, yeah?
Right, you lot,
you need to listen to Billy and Nigel.
K-Kieran, you take notes.
And, um, start without me.
- Come on, then. Let's go.
- All right.
I just got off the phone
from the eighth floor.
This dead officer, poor kid,
was called in on his day off.
He should've been at the fucking cricket.
- Jesus.
- They're nervous. Understandably.
- What did they say?
- Belt and braces.
No single patrols,
mandatory body cams. Basically
Be afraid.
Once we leave, we pick up the equipment,
we head to the targets.
You gonna tell us where they are?
- Once we're there.
- Fuck's sake!
Once we're there.
Kieran.
When we're done at the van, we split up.
No more contact. Right?
What about after? Where we gonna go?
The boat.
Take your time. There's no panic.
So, say these are the explosives, yeah?
You just call the saved number,
and that will make it go bang.
You know what? Allow this.
Kieran's right.
He can't keep us in the dark like this.
Where you going? Oi!
I've just been thinking about you.
All right, you need to tell us.
What are the targets?
Because, uh, what was it you said?
You want… You want to help?
Nigel.
Right, if it all goes pear-shaped,
you're in charge. All right?
Just do what you've got to do.
I will. You can trust me.
- Yeah.
- All right.
All right, Billy.
Time to help then.
Tick, tick… boom.
Spotters, stand by.
Looks like Billy's on the move.
Command, we have eyeballs.
Blue Eyes and subject one
leaving The Depot now.
Do not arrest
until we've got eyes on the explosives.
Bomb squad are on the way just in case.
You ready?
Doors opening.
Ladies first.
Doors closing.
What do you make of all that, then?
The copper in Beeston?
Laid down his life for what?
Some raghead nail salon?
Silly arse.
Had it coming.
That's a bit harsh.
Geezer who stabbed him's gonna be
locked up in some cell in Leeds, isn't he?
Probably doing life, at least.
I've never even been to Leeds.
That's funny, innit?
Then again, suppose he could always
break out, couldn't he, this bloke?
Like you did.
Fucking hell, boy.
Jailbreak? You don't hear about that
every day, do you?
Clung on to the bottom of a van?
With fingers, like… like this?
I mean,
it's almost unbelievable, really.
Doors opening.
Oh. No, it's the wrong floor.
- Oops.
- Doors closing.
- June. June.
- What are you doing here?
It's important.
- Thirty seconds.
- He knows.
What? What are you talking about?
Cosmo knows.
What you doing, Cos?
What's the plan, after all this?
Cos, stop fucking about. Start the lift.
Let's get on with this.
When he was watching TV,
and Billy approached him.
No, no. Billy's played this really well.
Look at what he did.
The hand on the hip. He went too far.
He's never touched him before.
I'm telling you. Cosmo knows.
How have you even seen this?
This is confidential.
That's your priority? Really?
What matters here is that Cosmo knows
and our cover is blown.
Shit.
Just…
Sian. What's the cell doing?
Is there any change at The Depot?
Nothing happening here.
All subjects are still inside.
Okay, if anything changes,
call it in.
What's going on?
He's hit the emergency stop.
They're stopped between floors.
- Are there cameras?
- No.
Come on, Billy. Like… Dream a little.
Like, what you gonna do?
How you gonna get out of the country?
Hitch a ride under another catering van?
Clinging on all the way to Marbella?
They're coming for me, aren't they?
Cos, please.
When?
When did they get to you?
When I was inside.
Right.
So, all the, um… the escape and all that…
Aw, that's a shame.
'Cause I quite liked that idea.
Billy the Kid. The great escape.
But there's no romance left, is there?
In this world?
Lift is moving again.
Going up to the 14th floor.
Fourteenth floor. Go!
Please tell me
they're taking the lot off, at least.
'Cause I'll be pissed off
if you did all this for a TV in your cell.
I'm sorry.
Hey. What have I told ya?
Straight back.
Chin up.
Stop apologizing.
It's been fun, Billy.
If you're hearing this, I need an army.
I see you all up and down the country
standing up for the truth.
They can't stop it.
'Cause a storm is coming!
- It's coming! Coming!
- Armed police! Down now!
It's coming! It's coming!
Sir, strong smell
coming from this flat.
Go, go, go, go, go!
All clear.
I want subject one
set up and processed.
Counterterrorism protocols,
so no phone calls.
I'm en route now.
Okay, so, prepare the materials
for interview
and have them sent over to the CPS, okay?
Finn. Can you get Forensics to bleach
and analyze the holding cell?
- Yeah, it's just… It's just that…
- If there are any, any explosives on him,
I don't want there to be any wriggle room.
- June, the… The thing is, um…
- What?
…we felt that
in an operation of this sort,
we had no choice
but to prioritize discretion.
Discretion is one thing,
but you have lied.
Oh, come on, Ivy,
you know how this game works.
- What's going on?
- Speak of the devil.
What are you doing here?
I was just apologizing
to Assistant Commissioner Mullins.
I don't recall you apologizing to me.
- Did you? Did you? Have you?
- We felt that certain aspects
of the operation,
especially around the manner of
Billy Fielding's escape from prison,
warranted a smaller circle.
I'm sorry, sir. I don't understand.
What he's trying to say
is that DCI Hegarty wasn't working alone.
Counter Terror have been across this
from the start.
Recruiting Billy Fielding,
breaking him out of jail, all of it.
We thought that under the circumstances
discretion was the better part of valor.
However, once you shone
the spotlight on it…
No, please. Don't apologize.
I was just telling the ACSO how
the thoroughness of your investigation,
that came as no surprise to me.
DI Lenker, she's always had a passion
for due process.
So, now here we are. All on the same page.
I need an army.
I see you all up and down the country
standing up for the truth.
They can't stop it.
'Cause a storm is coming! It's coming!
It's coming!
Cosmo said if he didn't
make it back, we should go without him.
You ready?
Let's fucking go.
Let's go.
Right, I'm not here for a power grab.
You keep command.
- Just call me tactical support.
- Enough. I can't.
The lies. You. All of it.
Look, I get it, okay?
It was sensitive information.
But it's the lies.
Layers and layers of them.
It's like it never stops with you.
- Suffolk Square. Billy, Errol Mathis.
- Look. June.
It's just the same filthy stuff.
- Listen…
- To what? More Daddy knows best?
- June…
- No. You spare me the,
"You can't handle the truth" bit, okay?
I've heard it.
The truth? What, with this lot?
Are you kidding me? The truth.
It's a DVD player
in the back of the garage, June.
It's a relic. It's gone.
We are facing down tanks and drones
on a horse with a fucking catapult
because we don't have the means to deal
with this or with that man in there.
So, wha-what-what we gonna do?
Throw in the towel?
Just tell me one thing, okay? For real.
You knew they were going
to Suffolk Square, yes?
Yeah.
Did you think they were capable of murder?
Follow me. Stick to your orders.
Kim, all subjects are on the move.
We lost them,
and it spun out of control.
If I had known they were gonna
go out there and kill someone,
I would never,
never have let it get that far.
Boss, Cosmo's cell are on the move.
Jed.
All ground units,
subjects are about to leave The Depot.
Eyes on both exits.
Copy that.
Okay, they are
crossing the gym now.
- DI Lenker…
- Not now.
They're not going out the main door.
Jen.
Why are they going up?
There is an exit on Reblix Road.
Units 6 and 7, eyes on, please.
This is the council's registered blueprint
for the gym.
- The one Billy held up.
- Right. Except this…
Isn't on ours.
This, Billy's one,
is the original plan from when it was
an upholstery factory.
And this line is
the waste pipe for overflow.
- Where does that go?
- It's not on the current one
because the lift shaft has replaced it,
- but-but if they
- Jen, Jen. Where does it go?
- Where the fuck are they?
- DI Lenker.
There's another exit.
All clear.
All clear.
Redeploy, fan out, find them.
Search the gym, go through his office,
find anything we can use.
Right, Jen. Here we go.
No way back now.
We are soldiers.
So let's start a fucking war.
