00:00Previously on The Bill
00:04There's no easy way to tell you this Jim
00:06Marie's dead
00:08You never bend the rules
00:11Maybe just a little bit
00:13I'm gonna leave my wife Andrea
00:15For you
00:30I'm gonna leave my wife Andrea
01:00Can you take the keys out of the ignition please sir
01:07Do you know how erratically you were driving
01:11I'm really sorry I wasn't concentrating
01:13Obviously
01:14Driving while using a mobile phone is a serious offence
01:17And can you tell me what you're putting under the passenger seat as I approached
01:20It's my company takings for the week
01:22I'm on my way to the bank
01:23Right
01:24Well you won't mind if I take a look then
01:26Thank you
01:30Depositing this in the bank as well
01:41Sir
01:42No more ducks
01:46Don't leave it with me I'll think of something
01:50Good morning
01:53I'm late for work
01:55Why didn't you wake me?
01:58I've just woken up myself
01:59I've really enjoyed the last few days with you
02:02Me too
02:03I wish we could spend a day together as well
02:06So do I
02:07Why don't we?
02:08I can't
02:09We're already late
02:10Just throw a sticky
02:12Did you see where my shirt went?
02:13Mm-hmm
02:14Call in and say you're not feeling well
02:18We'll go shopping and have lunch together
02:23I shouldn't
02:25I'm gone
02:27Brilliant
02:29I've got you a little present
02:31Let's over from the superintendent's breakfast meeting
02:35Oh, I'll give you a time
02:36So where's mine?
02:40Sorry, only one left
02:42Mm
02:43You see, women respect me
02:45You only talk to me if you fancy them
02:47That's rubbish, I respect women
02:48Oh yeah, what about that girl you met on Friday night, eh?
02:51Mind you, you did marginally better than Gary and that fit creeper
02:53Yeah, well that's not hard
02:55Mind you, when I left the club I did see him buying her a drink
02:57Yeah, that's par for the course
02:58Hello?
03:02Hey Gary, your ears must be burning, mate
03:03Yeah, we're talking about you
03:06No, all right, mate, we'll see you when you're fit
03:08All right
03:09Okay
03:10Poor little Gary's got a dicky tummy
03:12A shirker
03:13I bet that's a hangover
03:14You know your own tricks best
03:16Morning
03:18I think you might be interested in a businessman I've just brought in
03:21Respectable, middle-aged family man
03:23With a bag of cocaine and a good few grand
03:25In cash, stashed under his passenger seat
03:27Mid-life crisis?
03:29You'd know, wouldn't you?
03:32All right, get forensics to check the money-fed drug residue
03:34I'll go down and see what you've got to say for yourself, yeah?
03:37Well, come on then
03:38Can you account for the £10,000 in cash that was in your car, Mr. Gow?
03:44I own a small chain of health spas, it's the week's takings
03:47Can you prove this?
03:48Check the books
03:49So, do all your customers pay cash?
03:53Most memberships are paid by cheque or credit card
03:55But the sunbeds are usually paid for in cash
03:57We'll be searching your home and businesses under the Proceeds of Crime Act
04:01Is there anything else you'd like to mention before we find it for ourselves?
04:04Look, I've admitted the cocaine was mine
04:06You'd be doing yourself a favour if you'd tell us who you bought it from
04:10I'm sorry, I can't tell you
04:12Why?
04:14Are you trying to protect?
04:15Please, just charge me and get it over with
04:18Bye
04:23Ready when you are
04:24Sorry, that was the solicitor dealing with the sale of my dad's restaurant
04:29I need to speak to her first about some things
04:33What, is he retiring?
04:34No, he hasn't been well
04:36There's nothing more they can do
04:38God, I'm really sorry
04:41You didn't say anything
04:43It's been nice not talking about it
04:46All my friends and family ever do is ask if I'm okay
04:50You think your dad will always be there for you, you know
04:56Seeing him lying there in that hospital bed
04:59It is...
05:00All his life, he's been running that restaurant
05:03And he broke his heart having to sell up
05:05But now he just wants to go back home to die
05:11Come here
05:16Sorry, have we heard it was a new sergeant here yet?
05:23Not me, that's for sure
05:24I worry, your time will come
05:26You dropped something in there
05:34It's Marie's funeral this afternoon, son
05:40Sorry
05:42I can't decide whether to go
05:44You've got nothing to feel guilty about
05:46I do know what Marie was like
05:49You know, with her drink and everything
05:50I just think I could have done all to help her
05:55Jim, it was always a question of when, not if, with Marie
05:57You did everything you could
05:59No, I just made things worse
06:01With Marie, with June
06:04Everyone I've ever been close to
06:08Listen, will you make sure that all gets bagged up?
06:13Oh yeah, I'm not signing any drugs power from earlier or any of that stuff here
06:20I'll make sure we've got all the financial records
06:22The receipts, quite a lot of book until now
06:24What's Mr Gareth supposed to have done?
06:26He's under arrest, I'm afraid
06:27We're going to have to look into the company's financial records
06:30How long have you worked for him, Rory?
06:32Over 18 years
06:33Long enough to know he's not a criminal
06:35And how has the company been performing lately?
06:38Steadily
06:38But I couldn't tell you exactly
06:40I always handle the accounts
06:42Until Mr Gareth started doing them himself a few months back
06:44What was that?
06:47He said it was to lessen my workload
06:48Any other changes to the way he runs the business?
06:50Not really
06:51Apart from installing a lot more sunbeds
06:54He only had one in every branch until he bought eight more
06:56And how have they been doing?
06:58Waste of time, if you ask me
06:59Have they brought in any more business?
07:01Definitely not
07:02Well, thanks so much for worrying and being in touch
07:05Thank you
07:05Is this new sergeant experienced?
07:11You just have to wait and find out when should BC staff
07:13Why don't you go?
07:17Right, everyone, I want you to welcome the new sergeant
07:19Good morning, everyone
07:27I'd like to say how much I'm looking forward to working with you all again
07:32And we need to look at our performance rates
07:35So I'm going to be seeing each of you individually over the next few weeks
07:39In the meantime, I know that you're mid-shift
07:41So I don't want to keep you
07:42Thank you
07:43It's very good to have you back to me
07:46Thanks, ma'am
07:47I don't know how many years she's going to have to work until she pays her mortgage off again
07:53Hey, Yvonne, could I have a word?
07:58No one can blame you if you're fed up with being passed over as sergeant
08:02Especially after you've worked so hard covering
08:04Yeah, I can't say I'm happy about it
08:06I thought I did a really good job
08:07Yeah, well, that's life
08:08You just have to put up with it
08:09No moaning, no attitude
08:11And I'm sure you'll be given another chance
08:13Understood?
08:15Yes, serge
08:16Well, they all seem very pleased to see you
08:21Well, that's because they think I'm a pushover
08:23Well, because you're a sergeant they respect
08:25And one that they can actively relate to
08:27Well, from now on, my focus is getting results
08:29Nothing else
08:30Ooh, that could make you very unpopular
08:32Do you know, I don't care what anybody thinks of me
08:33Because of Jim Carver
08:36Everybody here knows that I'm back to pay off his debts
08:38Instead of enjoying my retirement, so
08:40Well, as long as I keep all that private stuff away from the job
08:43Don't worry, I intend to be totally professional
08:45Good
08:46Tony
08:50Hi, June
08:51Wanted to welcome you back
08:54Thank you
08:55Does Jim know yet?
08:57I don't know and I don't care
08:58No, really, I'm just not interested
09:01And that's the end of the matter
09:02It's good to see you
09:05Previously on The Build
09:19There's no easy way to tell you this, Jim
09:21Mary's dead
09:23You never bend the rules
09:26Maybe just a little bit
09:28I'm going to leave my wife, Andrea
09:29For you
09:31I don't need to know
09:36Yourぇ rere jeden
09:45I have been watching
09:46You never bowed
09:47It's gonna be me
09:48I hope you ain't like
09:49Frust too
09:50You never even can believe
09:52I haven't heard of you
09:52Maybe only
09:53I haven't heard of you
09:55I never know
09:55You never can believe
09:56I mean you're gonna find
09:57You never have to
09:58Can you take the keys out of the ignition, please, sir?
10:24Do you know how erratically you were driving?
10:26I'm really sorry. I wasn't concentrating.
10:28Obviously. Driving while using a mobile phone is a serious offence.
10:32And can you tell me what you're putting under the passenger seat as I approached?
10:35It's my company takings for the week. I'm on my way to the bank.
10:38Right. Well, you won't mind if I take a look then.
10:54Depositing this in the bank as well, sir.
10:59No more, Dax. Don't leave it with me. I'll think of something.
11:05Good morning.
11:09I'm late for work. Why didn't you wake me?
11:12I've just woken up myself. I've really enjoyed the last few days with you.
11:18Me too.
11:19I wish we could spend a day together as well.
11:21So do I.
11:22Why don't we?
11:23I can't.
11:24Me already, ladies. Just throw a sticky.
11:26Did you see where my shirt went?
11:27Mm-hm.
11:28Call in and say you're not feeling well.
11:33We'll go shopping and have lunch together.
11:38I shouldn't.
11:39No.
11:40I'm gone.
11:42Brilliant.
11:44I've got you a little present.
11:47Let over from the superintendent's breakfast meeting.
11:49Oh, Margaret, you're a giant.
11:54So where's mine?
11:55Sorry.
11:56Only one left.
11:57Mm.
11:58You see, women respect me.
12:00You only talk to me if you fancy me.
12:01That's rubbish, aren't you?
12:02All the time.
12:03I can imagine what she said, too.
12:06It wasn't all bad.
12:08She was angry, but she knew she'd cause you a lot of grief.
12:12She certainly did that, all right.
12:15She promised she'd stop drinking.
12:19I think I knew it was hopeless, but I couldn't give up on her.
12:24Yeah, I know what you mean.
12:25Look, it's my round. Is that a G&T?
12:28No, no, I'm fine, thanks.
12:29You haven't touched that. What's up?
12:31Well, it didn't seem right toasting her with mineral water.
12:37I suppose I bought it as a sort of test.
12:42See how my willpower's holding out.
12:49You as well?
12:51Yeah.
12:53It's been three years since my last drink.
12:56That's how I met Marie at AA.
12:59I was her sponsor.
13:04We hit it off.
13:07I didn't realise what I was letting myself in for.
13:09Yeah, when it came to Marie, I don't think any of us did.
13:12Um, another orange juice, please, and a...
13:18...mineral water?
13:20Sparkling.
13:21Yeah, the cash receipts had up to around ten grand for last week, and the sunbed appointments for the tallies were there.
13:32All right, so either Mooring's mistaken about how well they're doing, or Frank's clicking the books, eh?
13:36Yeah, but the sunbed taking suddenly rocketed about six months ago.
13:39Up to the end, they brought in virtually nothing.
13:41A business can have a change in fortune.
13:43Well, one business certainly has. Look at this.
13:45Frank started paying ten grand a week to a company called E&L Promotions.
13:48That's not long after their cash-taking shut up.
13:51Cash coming in and being paid out as legitimate earnings, probably money laundering.
13:55Right, I want you to check out the promotions company.
13:57I need to find out what ten grand a week buys you in public relations.
14:03I'm really sorry about all this. We were supposed to be having fun.
14:07That's no problem.
14:09Ooh!
14:11I have a text.
14:13It's from my mum.
14:15She's in hospital with Dad.
14:18Oh, look, well, I can get this first lot changed.
14:21Why don't you phone your mum and see how we've done it?
14:24Thanks. Thank you.
14:26Guys.
14:28Thanks, you're an angel.
14:32Ah, Bamba, I've been looking for you.
14:36Well, I'm not in trouble, am I?
14:39Not if you let me take you out for a drink tonight, are you?
14:42Oh, I wish I could, but I'll put something on tonight.
14:46Tomorrow?
14:47Yeah, sounds good.
14:49Okay.
14:51It's a date.
14:52Now get on with your work.
15:00Why haven't you returned my calls?
15:01Not here, please.
15:02Have you thought about what I said?
15:03I have thought about nothing else.
15:07Neil, this is wrong.
15:09You should stay with your wife.
15:11What are you saying?
15:13What are you saying?
15:15I don't understand.
15:17I thought this is what you wanted.
15:19I thought it's what we wanted, Andrea.
15:22Andrea, I need to see you in my office.
15:24But when you're done with the amounts and I've got a job for you.
15:27Sarge, I can't talk about this right now.
15:29Neil.
15:30Well, when then?
15:31When?
15:33No problemo.
15:35Well, look at that warrant card, mate.
15:37Just let me change five grand.
15:39We'll have to leave the rest till later.
15:41My dad's had a turn for the worst.
15:44I've got to get to the hospital.
15:46Well, do you want me to come with you?
15:47Eh?
15:49No, I don't want you to meet everyone like this.
15:51Let's wait and see how he is.
15:53Well, look, I can change the rest of this money for you if you want.
15:57You know where else you'd visit your dad?
15:59No, I can't let you do that.
16:01Well, I'm a detective.
16:02I'm not going to nick it, am I?
16:04Trust me.
16:06Go on.
16:10I'll meet you back at the hotel.
16:12OK?
16:13We've been checking on how well your company's been doing.
16:15And your sunbeds only started doing well for you a few months back.
16:17I invested in new beds. They've been very popular.
16:19Yeah, the appointment books seem to prove that.
16:21The profits speak for themselves.
16:23Hmm.
16:25A lot of that profits seems to be going to a company called E&L Promotions.
16:28They're a good PR company.
16:30It should be the amount you'll spend in.
16:32They've helped me market the money.
16:34They've helped me market the money.
16:36They've helped me.
16:38They've helped me.
16:39They've helped me.
16:40And who exactly is behind E&L Promotions?
16:44Do we have to involve them in any of this?
16:46Yeah, I'm afraid so.
16:48Me and the girlfriend are going away for a few weeks in the sun.
16:52Can't wait, mate.
16:54All right, nice one.
16:56Gov, do you have any CID free to look at this incident that's just come through?
17:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:03Gov, do you have any CID free to look at this incident that's just come through?
17:07There's a young woman who was found unconscious off Waterman's Road and she claims that she was sexually assaulted in the early hours by touting minicab driver.
17:18Any descriptions?
17:19Well, she's at St. Hugh's with PC Dunbar.
17:21OK, erm, well, everyone's busy here so I'll go myself.
17:27Her name's Vicky Timpson.
17:29She was found in the early hours by a member of the public in a back straight.
17:33That's her there.
17:35She was unconscious and she suffered some cuts and bruises.
17:38And her clothes were badly torn.
17:39These town and minicabs are getting more and more calm and women are totally vulnerable if they use them.
17:44Come on, Neil.
17:46You're not here in your efforts to make London a safer place for women.
17:49Shall we just concentrate on the job in hand?
17:51Don't you dare question my professionalism.
17:53You are here to get me to talk about our personal life.
17:56You're wasting your time.
17:58Shall we go and see the victim now, PC Dunbar?
18:09Hi, Vicky.
18:10I'm PC Andrew Dunbar and this is my colleague, D.I. Manson.
18:14Hi.
18:15Vicky, can you tell us what you remember?
18:18Not that much.
18:20It was my work leaving Doom turned into a late one.
18:25Could you give us a description of the man who attacked you?
18:28He was white, dark hair, stubble, normal build.
18:35I didn't pay much attention when I first got in. I was blitzed.
18:39I was just glad of the lift.
18:41Where did he pick you up?
18:43The junction at the end of Shylock Street.
18:46I'd been waiting for ages.
18:49I don't usually use the unlicensed minicabs.
18:52I was desperate.
18:54Can you remember the make or the colour of the car?
18:56Sorry.
18:58Do you think that you would recognise him again?
19:03I'm not sure.
19:05I didn't see his face that clearly.
19:08What happened when you stalked the guy?
19:11He...
19:13touched me and...
19:14ripped my clothes.
19:17I thought he was...
19:19Hey, Vicky.
19:21Thank you. You've been very helpful.
19:22We'll check for similar attacks and see if there's any CCTV footage of her being picked up.
19:32Contact the cab enforcement team to keep a list of any known unlicensed cabs.
19:36Will do.
19:40Yeah, right.
19:42So how many customers have you got booked in the sunbeds today, then?
19:44Oh, only one or two, I think.
19:46Are you sure?
19:48Just when I was looking at the appointments book early, you had ten booked in.
19:51Is that average?
19:52No, we never do that sort of business.
19:53Right, then.
19:54That's why I was so puzzled about the new beds.
19:58Ken.
19:59Yeah.
20:03Well, it looks like forensics came up trumps on the cash.
20:05The majority of it tested positive for cocaine.
20:08Looks like we have to charge our friend Frank with dealing with them.
20:10Oh, unless E&L are promoting us at drugs, since they're all around town.
20:16We're still having trouble finding the details of the company that you work with called E&L Promotions.
20:21Oh, them.
20:22What, I take you down to proof?
20:23No, I don't.
20:25Professionally or personal.
20:27Do you know who runs the company?
20:29Two young women.
20:30Out for what they can get.
20:31The moment Mr Gower met them, he started to change.
20:34At first I thought it was quite humorous.
20:36He bought four new suits in a few weeks.
20:38Just wasn't like him.
20:39Are you sure it was down to these two women?
20:41I know it was.
20:42I've seen him with one of them a couple of times.
20:44Look, I'm not a gossip, but I'd swear there was something going on.
20:48Had all the classic signs of an affair.
20:51Have you got names and numbers?
20:53I think Mr Gower's got a business card somewhere.
20:56Actually, they're in some of the photos at the conference.
21:01Here.
21:03Here they are.
21:05Thanks.
21:06I'll go and find that business card.
21:10Sure.
21:11Who wouldn't want a splashy arm later to, eh?
21:14That's the girl Gary was clinging to on Friday night.
21:16No way.
21:17Yeah, it was.
21:19We'd better call him.
21:21He really will be sick.
21:22He's doing rear-league and a lot together.
21:23He's going to do.
21:24He's going to go.
21:25There's a lot of power now.
21:26Oil and a lot of people are actually ok.
21:27He's going to go to the store.
21:28I'm going to go to the store.
21:30I'm going to go to the store.
21:32I'm going to go for the store.
21:33I'm going to pick my ball now, and you're going to pick.
21:34Hello? Gary. How are you feeling, alright? I'm pretty ropey still, mate. Ah, he's still
21:52feeling rough. Is he? Yeah. Listen mate, I've got something to make you feel better. You
21:58should be seeing that Louisa again. You know the bird who knocked you back on Friday night?
22:03Louisa is a suspect in a drugs case. What, really? Yeah, really. This is Gilwell Senior.
22:32Louisa and the lovely Eleanor. Charlie Angels. Now, it looks like Frank's laundering money
22:38for his health spa and his co-cabot suggests that the girls are at least involved in the
22:41supply. Now, I think the two are definitely linked. Given the amount of calls to and from
22:45his mobile and numerous credit card transactions at various plush restaurants, I'd say that
22:49Maureen's suspicion that he's having an affair is probably true. Which is why he's protecting
22:53them. I'm going to check his favourite restaurant and find out who he's been taking there. You
22:56got any more back from me and her promotions? Yeah. According to the company's house, it's
23:01just the latest off-the-shelf company bought by Louisa Costas and Elena Nicolpolidas, if
23:07those are the real names. But all there is to the company is a PO box address and a bank
23:10account. The mobile phones on the business card are no longer in use. Let's try and find
23:15some more out from the bank. Might help us get a bit closer to find out exactly what
23:18they're up to. Okay. To the future. Ah, yes. The future. Don't be so pessimistic.
23:29Murray's not the only one to mess up her life. Mine's a complete joke. You're still married?
23:35Yeah, officially, but she doesn't want me to find her wherever she is. You don't know that
23:39for sure. Oh, I'm pretty certain, after the way I treated her. Oh, she might forgive
23:45you. I'd like to think so, but I'm probably only kidding myself. Well, if a relationship
23:52fails, it's usually down to two people, not one. Well, in this case, believe me. You know,
24:00you need to stop being so hard on yourself. You need to have some fun. Of course I am.
24:09Well, I'll leave you to news on that one. I've got to get going.
24:17Look. If you feel like meeting up, give me a call. Yeah, I'd like that.
24:37Bye.
24:39Thanks. Looks like Frank's not the only one to be taken in by these two. According
24:46to the girls' bank statement, four of the businesses are paying them similar weekly
24:50amounts. Oh, don't tell me. PR work? Well, possibly. But I've done some checking
24:54out. They're all small, cash-based businesses, owned and run by middle-aged men. Yeah.
24:58Okay, so I'll go and speak to these mugs, see what I can find out. You speak to Frank,
25:02see if he can tell you anything on his girlfriend's line of work. Okay.
25:16That's stable. Mum's going to call if anything changes. Gary?
25:22Is there something that I should know? Like what? Like whether that's drug money. What
25:27are you talking about? I've just had info, yeah, that your name came up in a major drugs
25:31investigation. Drugs? What do you think I am? Look, I'm sorry, yeah, but one minute I'm
25:36changing large amounts of cash for you. The next minute I'm being told you're involved with
25:39drugs... That money is my dad's. If you don't believe me, I will take you to the hospital and
25:43you can ask him yourself. No, look, all right, all right, look. All right. So why was your
25:52name mentioned? How do I know? I have never had anything to do with drugs. What am I supposed
26:03to have done? Look, we're going to have to get you down to the station then, yeah? Tell
26:06them anything, anything that might have linked your name, people you know who might be involved.
26:10Hi. I have nothing to hide. But won't you get into trouble for calling in sick today?
26:17Now, let me worry about that. Look, you just tell the truth, yeah? I'll clear your name,
26:22everything will be okay.
26:25Mm.
26:314.50 a.m., Vicky gets into the car on the corner of Shylock Street. You can't actually see
26:36the car index number, can you? No. It looks like a light-coloured saloon, a four-man deal
26:42maybe, or something similar. Mm-hmm. From the two incidents we know of, it seems he mainly
26:46touts with business around the high street, right? Sir, the victim's given us a much more
26:51detailed description, so we've had an e-fit made up. Excellent. Right, well, we'll issue this,
26:55and we'll put details of the car out over the radio. We need to be actively doing something
27:01here. Hmm. Like what? Well, we could set up a decoy op. I mean, there's a good chance
27:08we'll be round there again tonight. Don't tell me, with you as bait. No way. I know the
27:13odds are against it, but it's worth a try. I mean, admittedly it's a fishing trip, but if
27:18he sticks to that area, there's a good chance that you're going to spot him. Yeah, I agree.
27:22Okay, we'll give it a go. I'll clear it with Inspector Gold and arrange the deployment.
27:28We need to have cars on standby and people on the ground observational points.
27:32Um, I'll be in one of the cars. Good. Thanks, June.
27:36BC Dunbar, you'll need to change into your civvies. Your role is purely to identify the
27:42target. I'm warning you. No taking risks.
27:49Go.
27:52So you just keep to the same circuit? The crossing and the main junction near the
27:58trip station. The patrol cars will be well out of sight, but they'll be on standby. There's
28:04two observational points, one on each side of the road, and I'll be keeping an eye on
28:08you from the safe distance. Okay. Wish me luck.
28:13Well, you're going to have to wait until June and Tony are in position. Which gives us time
28:19for a little talk.
28:21Now? Yes. Well, we're going to have to discuss this sooner
28:26or later. You know, I was about to leave Philippa and all of a sudden, out of the blue, you tell me not to.
28:32You did. That doesn't mean that we can be together. D.I. leaves his family for probationer.
28:40To finish us both, Neil. Our private life is our own business.
28:43You know it doesn't work like that. It's what we want. That's what's important. And I want you.
28:49And if that means walking away from my family or risking my career, then what do you mean that
28:59much to me? But we'd be gambling our whole life on a fear that it's only been going on for a few
29:07months. There's still a lot of things that we don't know about each other. Look, we've been
29:14together long enough now to realize that this isn't just some casual affair. And no matter what
29:19arguments you come up with, it all comes down to the fact of whether you want to be with me.
29:25Okay, I don't know everything about you. But isn't that part of the excitement? Getting closer,
29:30learning new things about one another? 48 in position. Over.
29:36Okay, thanks. Well, I better get out of here. The moment you need assistance, you call.
29:44You recognize the target? The signal is, can we stop off at a cash point?
29:48Understood. And you don't get in that car under any circumstances.
29:53But what if I'm not certain that it's them? Don't care. You don't get in that car.
30:00Be careful.
30:14Decoy in position. Received.
30:23We could be here for hours.
30:24Don't you think you should tell Jim that you're back? It's better if he hears it from you than
30:36some big mouth back at the nick. I don't care who he hears it from and I care even less about his
30:41feelings. I don't mean that. Don't I?
30:46I was all set for an easy life. You know, pottering about, doing the gardening,
30:54taking trips abroad, seeing what life was like outside Sun Hill.
31:00Or Jim's debts have put paid to all that.
31:02I felt so humiliated walking to the station today.
31:11The return of good old fighting June. What a mug.
31:14No one's saying that. Thinking it though.
31:22Anyway, I made a decision when I was away.
31:25I want my life and my independence back. And that means living in my house on my own.
31:31No, I want nothing more to do with Jim.
31:35From now on, he's just a colleague and not one that I trust.
31:38Okay, I'm going to do another circuit of the block now. Maintain your position.
31:53Jim, there's something you should know about Jim.
31:55Look, I've already said-
31:56Just listen.
32:02He's been at Marie's funeral today. She died about a week ago.
32:06What? How?
32:09They found her on some waste ground. She'd drunk herself unconscious.
32:14Her family hadn't reported her missing because she'd disappeared so many times in the past.
32:20How's Jim taking this?
32:21Oh, good. He blames himself.
32:33Are you a good cab, love?
32:39Um, no, thanks. I'm waiting for a lift.
32:41Sure.
32:44Toting minicab. Index number, Juliet 51.
32:49Charlie Yankee Echo. Not the suspect. I repeat, not the suspect. Over.
32:55Did she introduce you to cocaine, Frank?
32:57No. All those years of hard work thrown away for the sake of a few months parting with Louisa.
33:02You don't understand. We think a lot of each other.
33:05Really? So why hasn't she been in touch?
33:08I used my call to let her know I was all right when I was brought in this morning.
33:11You do know you're not the only businessman she mixes with.
33:14She and her partner have lots of clients. They run a very successful company.
33:17You can say that again.
33:19Four other businessmen have a very similar arrangement with E&L promotions.
33:24You're making this up.
33:26DS Hunter has spoken to a Steve Hutton.
33:30Steve met the girls at a weekend conference and hired them to do PR for his chain of fast food
33:34restaurants. And he also claims that he and Louisa are more than just business associates.
33:40Here's is a cash-based business too. Perfect for Louisa to launder drug money.
33:44It's not drug money.
33:46So what is it? The proceeds of property deals she and Eleanor are involved in.
33:50Is that what Louisa told you? It's true.
33:52Face it, Frank. You're just one in a long line of sad men she and Eleanor have conned.
33:59She wouldn't do that to me. We've got something special.
34:02Goddy, I'm scared.
34:16Don't be.
34:18I don't want to go.
34:22Not yet.
34:32We've run out.
34:45I'll get them.
34:46And now I'll go. There's a machine and the ladies downstairs.
35:03You wait in the Jacuzzi for me.
35:05There's a bottle of champagne romance.
35:12Be quick.
35:17When I first met them in the hotel bar, I thought they were after free drinks.
35:22They started buying them for me.
35:27Towards the end of the night, they offered me cocaine.
35:31I'd never touched anything stronger than aspirin before, but I liked it.
35:37I really liked it.
35:42Then what?
35:44I started seeing Louisa more and more.
35:48I felt alive for the first time in years.
35:51Is that when you started to get involved in money laundering?
35:55So when did she ask to put money through your company?
35:58About a week later.
36:01She said we'd be able to start a new life in Greece with the profits.
36:04She wants to go back.
36:06Her father hasn't got long to live.
36:10DS Hunter has seized a large amount of drugs at Steve Hutton's office.
36:14It's like he knew he was laundering drugs money.
36:17You don't know that's anything to do with Louisa.
36:19Come on, Frank.
36:20She's been using you all along.
36:23We need to find her.
36:26Frank.
36:26Tell us, Frank.
36:31She's staying at the Delancey Hotel.
36:34Is there anything else you think might be useful to us?
36:39I was supposed to be changing some more money for them today.
36:42She was in a real hurry to get it done.
36:43Another property had become available.
36:47She said it was too good to be true.
36:52I can't believe how stupid I've been.
36:56Now I want to do this stuff.
37:01I think I'm done with the same thing.
37:03I think I'm done with the same thing.
37:08Louisa!
37:13Well, hello, big boy.
37:16What are you doing?
37:18She's done a runner, you palonka.
37:26Look, she swore she never had anything to do with the drugs.
37:39She'd even agreed to come to the station with me.
37:41So you sat soaking in her tub while she gave us a slip?
37:44Well, I felt sorry for her.
37:45Her dad's dying.
37:46Also, she said.
37:47Her dad's dying?
37:48Yeah.
37:49You having a laugh?
37:49Look, she was really convincing, Ken.
37:51Yeah, and you're a mug.
37:52Look, I haven't done anything wrong with Barbara associating with a major suspect who was supposedly
37:57off sick.
37:58Well, you're not going to say anything, are you?
38:00Well, you should just drop him straight in there for being such a muppet.
38:02No, you've got to only put this right.
38:04Look, I need to nick Louisa.
38:06All right, give me one good reason why we shouldn't sell the DCI's.
38:09Come on, Phil.
38:10Listen, if this backfires, you're on your own, all right?
38:17Okay.
38:22Okay, that's great.
38:23Thanks for your help.
38:24That's all.
38:24I thought you were off sick.
38:26Um, yeah, I'm feeling better now.
38:28Good job Louisa didn't fall for your chat-up lines, eh?
38:31Yeah.
38:32No joy at the hotel?
38:34No, she'd gone.
38:35Well, I've made some progress.
38:37A few exchange places around town confirm they've had two women fitting the description
38:43changing large amounts of currency over the past few months.
38:46No sight of them today, though.
38:47They're obviously lying low.
38:48Well, maybe we should check on the dealing side of things first, then.
38:50No, according to Frank, they're desperate to change the next lot.
38:53There's a chance we could track them down.
38:55Right, I'll take over.
38:56Oh, no, you're all right.
38:56I'm enjoying this, thanks.
38:58Well, it don't need all of us, though, does it, eh?
39:00No, you're right.
39:01And seeing as you've already fraternised with the suspect,
39:04you might well be compromised on this one.
39:05Well, may as well go on back to bed.
39:08Yeah.
39:08Go on.
39:25You looking for a cab, love?
39:26Um...
39:27Come on, then.
39:28Are you getting in or not?
39:30Yeah.
39:40Where to?
39:41Chapel Hill Gardens, please.
39:43PC Dunbar is in the vehicle.
39:54Follow at distance.
39:55Received.
39:56What was she playing at?
40:02Good night.
40:04Yeah, not too bad.
40:04Brim Lane.
40:11This isn't the way.
40:13It's the scenic way.
40:17Stop the car, please.
40:20I said stop the car.
40:25Right.
40:25You wanted me to stop the car.
40:27Now you listen to me!
40:28That's my confirmed, over.
40:30Police officer, you're under arrest.
40:31Police officer, you're under arrest.
40:38Get off me!
40:39Just get off me!
40:40You're back!
40:42Under arrest!
40:42You do not have to say anything.
40:53I've got an injury.
40:54I'm putting it.
40:54And it may harm your defense.
40:55If you don't mention one question,
40:56would you literally lie on for anything?
40:58You do say it may be given an evidence.
41:03Got it!
41:03Okay.
41:04It's all right.
41:06Now, get on your feet.
41:10You okay?
41:11Sergeant, come on, go!
41:20Smithy, have you got a minute?
41:22Yeah.
41:26You've had a good day.
41:28Yeah, yeah.
41:29I feel lots better knowing that he's not driving around picking women up.
41:33And listen, about that drink.
41:35Oh yeah, just the one for tomorrow.
41:36Kitty!
41:38No.
41:39I'm sorry.
41:40It isn't a good idea.
41:42Look, I understand it's cold.
41:43No.
41:43You haven't got to explain.
41:45It's just things have changed.
41:48It's that bloke you were waiting for.
41:52It's complicated.
41:54So he's married then?
41:56Amongst other things.
41:57I just need to find out if it can work.
42:03Just be careful.
42:04Don't go.
42:05Thanks.
42:06Jim.
42:20Jim.
42:22When did you get back?
42:24Why didn't you let me know?
42:25How are you?
42:28I'm fine.
42:31And the crews?
42:31Yeah, it was good to get away for a while.
42:36Um, what are you doing here?
42:39I'm the new sergeant.
42:45Right.
42:47I didn't have much choice.
42:48Jim, look.
42:55I've been miserable without you.
43:02Look, Tony told me about Marie.
43:07I'm really sorry.
43:09Whatever I may have thought of her, she didn't deserve to die on her own like that.
43:12I can't believe she's gone.
43:18Thank God you're back.
43:26There you stay.
43:28With a friend for now.
43:30A friend?
43:30It's for the best.
43:32I know we've got a lot to learn through.
43:34This isn't the time to talk about this, Jim.
43:36When is Jim?
43:37I don't know.
43:38I mean, tomorrow, maybe.
43:39Tomorrow?
43:41This is ridiculous.
43:42I'm home.
43:44I'll give you whatever space you need.
43:46No.
43:47Under your terms.
43:49Look, we can sleep in separate bedrooms.
43:51No, Jim.
43:52I've had a long day.
43:53I can't face this now.
44:02Casey Dunbar.
44:10Look, um, I shouldn't have used my position like that today.
44:21I'm not going to put you under any more pressure.
44:25Okay?
44:27I'm going to wait as long as it takes.
44:30Okay.
44:32Yeah.
44:33Why?
44:37Because I know I would regret it if I didn't give her a call.
44:48Well, um, I'll make sure that you don't regret it.
44:53Um, listen, Neil, there, uh, there are some things that you need to know about me first.
45:03Well, I can wait.
45:06I can wait.
45:14See ya.
45:14Hey, buddy.
45:38Hey.
45:42I think we've got ourselves a major breakthrough on this one, boys.
45:49Looks like I've uncovered another member of the gang.
45:52Though nowhere near as good-looking as the other two.
45:59That is you changing the proceeds of drugs money,
46:03flashing your warrant card and consorting with the chief suspect.
46:06Isn't it, D.C. Best?
46:12Next time on The Bill.
46:19Then I'm going to get charged as an accessory.
46:28My little insurance policy.
46:31There he is. He's the one that touched me up.
46:42The Bill.
