00:00Previously on The Bill
00:04It's over. No more undercover journalism for you.
00:12I'm going to leave my wife, Andrea. For you.
00:30Yes. Oi, check this one out.
00:50Doesn't matter if you fail your response course, as long as you come away with a few phone numbers.
00:54Is that it? No. Obviously I want to pass that as well.
00:58I don't know. He's coming over.
01:01All right, ladies. Bancast for Spicer Street. Didn't I tell you? We're teamed up together.
01:06Oh, dear. How am I going to concentrate on my driving, eh?
01:10Don't you mean. Always had a thing for women in uniform. What do you think I'd do on the police?
01:14Oh. Fast women and fast cars. You never know. You might get to satisfy one of those cravings while you're here.
01:20Oh. Carol Parker. I'm your instructor.
01:23Let's get one thing straight from the start. This course is not about car chasers.
01:29If that's what you're here for, I suggest you leave now.
01:31Mr. Aziz, I'm Sergeant Smith from Sun Hill Police Station. This is PC Dunbar.
01:47Thank you so much for coming. It's just that we didn't know what else to do. Come in, please.
01:50So your father's been missing since this morning, yeah?
01:52Yeah, but we keep him locked in the house. You know, if you know, it's going to be a bad day.
01:56But he was up and out before anyone was awake.
01:58He's done this before. Yeah, a few times, but we've always found him.
02:02You know, used him by the river. He used to work in the warehouse by the docks.
02:05And I understand your father's got diabetes as well as the Alzheimer's.
02:08Oh, yeah. I mean, he's had it for years. Never stopped him, though.
02:12Has he got a mobile phone?
02:14Yeah. Upstairs in his bedroom. My mother is worried sick.
02:18Well, the important thing is for us to find him for you. So, uh, have you got a recent picture?
02:22Oh, yeah. This one was, uh, taken last year.
02:32Okay, thanks very much. I'll get it circulated.
02:38I'll give you a call as soon as we hear anything.
02:42Sergeant, you put him on a brain on the search.
02:44Well, it's a patch. So, yeah, what?
02:46Could you pair us up?
02:47Is this about Mr. Aziz or is this about Gabriel?
02:52Laura knows the area better than I do.
02:54So, you don't want to grill her about Gabriel, then, though?
02:57Well, the subject might come up.
03:00And if she happens to mention why Gabriel was taken off the coal in a state, so be it.
03:04We know that Laura and Gabriel have got a history.
03:08But how's that going to prove he had anything to do with Kerry's death?
03:10Well, I don't know. Yet.
03:13But if it means we can take something to MIT, it'll be worth it.
03:16Yeah. We need evidence, not hearsay.
03:27That's not normal.
03:29Which thing am I doing paperwork? You need therapy, June.
03:32Ken.
03:35June moved back in last night.
03:37Excellent.
03:38And one year's smiling, eh?
03:39No, no, no. Look, he's sent for the bedrooms.
03:42But we've done a bit of talking, haven't you?
03:43She doesn't want to rush things.
03:44No, well, so must I handle more.
03:46You've dumped a lot on her recently, mate.
03:48She's not going to forget it overnight, is she?
03:49Oh, thanks for the reminder.
03:51Look, I know it's not perfect, but it's a start.
03:53And now that she has moved back here, we can make a go of it.
03:56Get things back to how they used to be.
03:58I'll make up for you, mate.
04:00Cheers.
04:00This is Khalid Aziz.
04:06He lives on the Coal Lane estate.
04:08He's been missing since 7 o'clock this morning without his coat.
04:11He's in the early stages of Alzheimer's and he suffers from diabetes and his next insulin shot is due very soon.
04:17Hope we're not taking any bets on his chances.
04:19Mr. Aziz used to be a warehouseman down by the docks.
04:24He's been found there before.
04:26So, first off, I want to concentrate our search between his house and the river.
04:30We'll widen it later if we have to.
04:31Lots of derelict buildings for him to get lost in.
04:35So, Laura, I want you to stay on the estate.
04:37Andrea, Gabriel, I want you to concentrate your search down by the river.
04:41I'll see you outside.
04:46I don't want any trouble between you and Gabriel.
04:49Why didn't you pair me with Laura?
04:51Because you've got a job to do.
04:53Sarge.
04:58Bruce, it's me.
05:00Are you avoiding me?
05:02Listen, I still need a bit more time to put the pieces together.
05:05It should be much longer.
05:06Give us a call.
05:07Bye.
05:08Listen, I'm just on my way out.
05:09There's an old man with Alzheimer's going walkabout.
05:12Right.
05:14I've been thinking.
05:16About?
05:17About telling Philippi this weekend.
05:19Her mother's looking after Jake, so I should be able to speak to her uninterrupted.
05:23Right.
05:25What I thought was I'd get a bit of stuff together and, um, move into yours after breaking the news.
05:31I mean, that's okay.
05:32Well.
05:34Sam.
05:37Well.
05:38It may take a bit longer than that to sort things out with Pippa.
05:42She may not want you to move out straight away.
05:45Maybe you shouldn't rush it.
05:47After telling her about us, um, I don't think she's going to want me to be in the house for another minute.
05:51I just don't want you doing something you might regret later.
05:55Look.
05:55I can't think about Philippa anymore.
05:57It's what we need now that's important.
06:01I've been living with someone I don't love.
06:03I've finally got a chance to change that.
06:07Why would I wait a moment longer to be with you?
06:10One person I can trust.
06:11Something wrong?
06:16No.
06:16No, there's nothing.
06:17It's just so...
06:20You sure?
06:21If there's something you're not telling me, you know, now's the time to say it.
06:26Honestly, everything's fine.
06:32Don't worry.
06:38Pam, can you take that to CID for me?
06:40Yeah, thank you.
06:44Roger.
06:45Meet me in the yard in two minutes.
06:46There's an incident in De La Plaza.
06:48You want us to work together?
06:50That's not a problem, is it?
06:51No, I just thought...
06:52You see, Valentine, we're at work now.
06:53I'm your sergeant.
06:54You do as I tell you.
06:55In the yard, two minutes.
07:03Oh.
07:22I just about got it back after the first spin.
07:28The second one's always worse.
07:30Especially in the back.
07:31This one think his luck's in.
07:33Can't help it if you're drawn to me.
07:34Must be your animal magnetism.
07:36Give it a rest, PC Johansson.
07:38You're here to learn to drive.
07:40You don't want to go back to Sun Hill with a fail, do you?
07:42No.
07:42No.
07:42No.
07:42No.
07:43No.
07:43No.
07:45No.
07:45No.
07:45No.
07:45No.
07:45No.
07:45No.
07:45No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:47No.
07:47No.
07:48No.
07:48No.
07:49No.
07:50No.
07:50No.
07:51No.
07:52Look at the face on him.
08:02It's only been five minutes.
08:04You'd think he'd been waiting for an hour.
08:05Well, that's Gabriel for you.
08:08Yeah.
08:08Well, he won't let me forget about it for the rest of the day now.
08:11It's not like he's Mr. Perfect.
08:13That's one way of putting it.
08:15Sure.
08:16I bet you'd get plenty of stories from his days when he worked in the local lane estate.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Anyway.
08:22I'd better go look for Khalid.
08:24I'd better be freezing out there.
08:27Yeah.
08:32Sorry.
08:32Got a hell, though.
08:36Better late than never.
08:43What are you doing on this course, PC Johansson?
08:45Sorry?
08:46There are plenty of officers who give their eye teeth to be here, and they can't stick up to pass.
08:51As a probationer, you've got more to prove than most, but I don't think you're even trying.
08:55Did you think it would be a bit of a laugh?
08:58A bit of a skive-off work?
08:59Of course not.
09:00I really want to pass.
09:01I am trying.
09:02Honest.
09:03If your commentary isn't first-rate, you can forget the final drive.
09:06Carol?
09:07You ever thought I'd do a handbrake turning?
09:08I bet you're a secret speed freak as well.
09:09A pursuit isn't about speed, it's about safety.
09:11I reckon an industrial estate's the only place I'm going to get to drive after this.
09:12Hey, some of us are born to drive.
09:13And some of us are women.
09:14She was having a right go at me.
09:15I'd left all that by when I finished school.
09:16I can't fail.
09:17June Ackland's going to be expecting me to mess up, and there's no way I'm giving her the satisfaction.
09:18June?
09:19It's all women at Sun Eel.
09:20There's plenty of men, and not all of them think a woman's place is in the passenger seat.
09:23It's all women at Sun Eel.
09:24It's all women at Sun Eel.
09:25There's plenty of men, and not all of them think a woman's place is in the passenger seat.
09:28It's all women at Sun Eel.
09:29It's all women at Sun Eel.
09:30It's all women at Sun Eel.
09:32It's all women at Sun Eel.
09:34It's all women at Sun Eel, and not all of them think a woman's place is in the passenger
09:43seat.
09:44I don't, either.
09:45It's the back seat.
09:47Carol said, if I mess up on the commentary, there's no way I'm doing the final drive.
09:50It's just talking about what you are doing and seeing while
09:52you're driving—and if there's one thing you're good at, it's talking.
09:56If there's one thing you're good at, it's talking.
10:03What?
10:04Watch out.
10:05Watch out for the planer.
10:06Anyone could have seen it.
10:07I don't know what you're talking about.
10:08The rose on my locker.
10:10Rose?
10:10Yeah, come on.
10:11Who else would have left it there?
10:12You're a married woman, June.
10:14Never thought it might be from your husband.
10:23Why would I leave something like that in your locker?
10:26You think I want people to find out what happened?
10:28Oh, come on.
10:29It was just a kiss.
10:30It was just a bit of fun, all right?
10:31I don't want people thinking I'm the kind of bloke who splits up marriages.
10:35Don't flatter yourself.
10:36My marriage was over long ago.
10:38Does Jim know this?
10:40I'm just waiting for the right moment to tell him.
10:43Well, maybe kissing other blokes in the middle of the station yard
10:46isn't the best way to break the news.
10:48I don't need your advice on how to end my marriage, thank you.
10:50I know.
10:51And you weren't exactly complaining.
10:53I wasn't forcing myself on you.
10:54What is the matter with you?
10:57Anyone would think you want to get caught.
10:58Aziz used to work near here before he was ill.
11:17His son reckons he sometimes comes this way when he wanders off.
11:21His insulin's way overdue now, so we'll need to find him before it gets dark.
11:25Sad, isn't it?
11:25He doesn't know whether he's in Cannelly or Karachi.
11:29Maybe he's better off in a hole.
11:31Maybe he can be properly looked after.
11:33Line 4-3 from 5-4.
11:36Yes, Sarge.
11:37Any sign of him?
11:39No, nothing yet, Sarge.
11:41Where are you?
11:41Uh, yeah, we're just approaching the bridge near the trading estate.
11:46Okay, well, I'm not too far from there myself.
11:47You two take a banquete, and if he's not down there, we move on to the docks.
11:51Copy that, Sarge.
11:54Just think of the man-hours we've spent looking for this guy.
11:58Well, you think it's a waste of time?
12:00Well, so the job's a waste of time.
12:01Admin.
12:03Sorting out domestics.
12:04A woman walks into a station with two black eyes.
12:07Say she's walking by the door.
12:09And the guy's complaining that his knuckles are bruised.
12:12Yeah, I suppose.
12:14But do you want to go back to the old days,
12:16when nobody would blit an eye if you'd dealt out a bit of justice yourself?
12:19Not that, of course.
12:20There's always someone ready to blow the whistle on you.
12:22Now, when I was in the Navy, we used to look out for each other.
12:26And the police, well,
12:27you never know who's going to stab you in front or the back.
12:30Which side do you want?
12:31Uh, yeah, you go that way out.
12:35I'll go this way.
12:41Whoa!
12:41Calm down!
12:42Calm down!
12:43Get out!
12:44Get out!
12:46God, let me go!
12:47It's the police!
12:48You all right in there?
12:50Sit there!
12:51What's this all about?
12:52Ask him!
12:54I'm Sergeant Acklin.
12:55This is PC Valentine.
12:56We're from Sunhill.
12:57You are?
12:58Uh, Stuart Wilkinson.
12:59I'm the MD here.
12:59Look, there was no need to call the police.
13:02It's nothing.
13:02That was my wife.
13:03Yeah, well, not for long.
13:05You all want my solicitor to seize this.
13:07I got this on my email this morning,
13:09and so did everyone else in the office.
13:11Him and his secretary.
13:14Well, fortunately for her, she's on holiday.
13:16Will you not worry till you pick up somebody younger,
13:18someone better-looking, hugs?
13:19It wouldn't be hard!
13:20It was over!
13:21I told you!
13:22Mrs. Wilkinson, can I look, please?
13:23Look, do you have any idea who might have sent you this?
13:29Anyone who might want to hurt you?
13:31He's done a pretty good job of it already.
13:33The point of the commentary is so that I can hear what you're thinking,
13:42identifying conditions and prioritising any hazards you might be facing.
13:46Everybody thinks responding to an incident is about speed.
13:49It's not.
13:50Safety is the key.
13:52You're no good to anyone if you don't get there in one piece.
13:55Okay, you can start your commentary whenever you like.
13:57Driving within the speed limit,
14:00keeping a good distance from the car in front.
14:08B.C. Casper,
14:10you've had your left indicator on for the last half mile.
14:17It must have been quite a shock for you.
14:20Shell's been with us for years,
14:23since Stuart and I set the company up.
14:25And you didn't have a clue that they were having an affair?
14:30Nobody wants to believe the person they love's cheating on them, do they?
14:35I suppose everyone else knew.
14:38God, I bet they were all laughing at me behind my back.
14:41You know, this kind of malicious communication is actually an offence.
14:46We could go on ahead and prosecute, if that's what you wanted.
14:48It just doesn't make sense.
14:51Stuart might not love me anymore, but he loves his money.
14:53And he knows what a divorce will cost him.
14:57Why would he risk that?
14:59And if it wasn't him,
15:02I was only Michelle.
15:04I suppose that makes more sense.
15:07Her wanting me to know.
15:08I thought you said she was on holiday.
15:10I've been away a fortnight.
15:12Caribbean cruise.
15:13And it was me wondering how she could afford it.
15:17Well, all right.
15:18I mean, if it wasn't her,
15:20does anybody else have an extra grind?
15:22You need a swipe card to get into the building.
15:24Another code for our offices.
15:26Then a password for Stuart's computer.
15:30Even I don't know it.
15:32But this is secretary.
15:35Michelle Knight.
15:36Turning left.
15:41Bus stop on the right.
15:42People are waiting.
15:43So that must mean a bus is probably coming towards us.
15:47Van parked on the left.
15:48Slowing down.
15:49Gently moving forward and around the van.
15:54I see one pedestrian.
15:57Do you want to stop and check him out further?
16:00Well, concentrate on what you're supposed to be doing.
16:02Sorry.
16:03Approaching a bend.
16:05Slowing into the bend.
16:07Maintaining and faster out.
16:10I didn't see it.
16:13Stay there.
16:24OK, can you get him in the car?
16:25No, no worries.
16:26Fairly, will we?
16:32It just ran out.
16:34Is it dead?
16:35No, it's just injured.
16:37But we'll have to make a detour to the vets.
16:40It wasn't your fault.
16:42Oh, sorry.
16:45And an emergency stop to avoid a dog.
16:47Would you call that putting the safety of your passengers first?
16:50Come on, let's go.
16:51Bit of light bedtime reading.
17:02Yeah, that's lasted a week.
17:03Alan Kennedy.
17:04Oh, the serial rape trial?
17:06Starts tomorrow.
17:07Um, you wouldn't be interested in a bit of malicious communication, then?
17:11There you go.
17:12Jim's your man.
17:13Yeah, but is there anyone else?
17:15Sorry, Jim.
17:16Yes.
17:18Yes.
17:20Well, if anyone says you've been a great help, they're lying.
17:24Um, Jim.
17:26Malicious communication.
17:28Rather you than me.
17:30Do you know what a pain this will be?
17:33But as soon as it's you...
17:36Who's the happy couple?
17:39Stuart Wilkinson, husband of the woman who received it,
17:42along with everyone else who works with them,
17:44and that's his secretary.
17:45I mean, why do people take pictures like that?
17:48I mean, it's bad enough any holiday snaps.
17:50At least you're wearing some.
17:52The woman who received it, Ruth Wilkinson,
17:54she runs a financial services company with her husband.
17:57She and her husband came back from a late lunch,
17:58she checks her messages and finds this.
18:00Sent from an anonymous email account.
18:02Apparently the only people who even knew about the photograph
18:05were Stuart Wilkinson and the secretary.
18:07Michelle Copeland, but she's away on holiday.
18:09Well, didn't anyone ever tell him about doing it on your own doorstep?
18:12Anyway, can we leave that with you?
18:16Yeah, don't worry. I'll get Ken to do the donkey work.
18:18Um, Roger, can you give us a minute?
18:20Oh, yeah, of course.
18:22Thanks.
18:23Jim, I'm busy.
18:24I know. Should you get it?
18:29The rose?
18:31I just wanted to say how happy I am that you've moved back in again.
18:34Yeah, well, there was no need to,
18:35but I thought that we weren't going to rush things.
18:37Well, we're not.
18:38And I just saw it and...
18:40I'm unable to show my wife how special she is, aren't I?
18:43I'm unable to show my wife how special she is, aren't I?
19:13Get off!
19:15Get off me!
19:16Get me off!
19:17What are you doing?
19:18Look, he hit me!
19:19I'm bleeding!
19:21Kids, they're going to be so ungrateful.
19:23Look, he hit me!
19:24All yours.
19:25Come on, see you.
19:32Mr Aziz, he's going to be OK.
19:35You come along with me.
19:36Come on, fella.
19:37Up you get.
19:37Come on.
19:38That's it.
19:40OK, mate.
19:40Come on.
19:40You've been anywhere near us?
19:48I've not seen him go.
19:50Well, he should be in on this.
19:51He's given evidence as well.
19:52I'm sure the DI's prepared.
19:54We just want to make sure we're all singing from the same hymn sheet.
19:57You know who Kennedy's got defending him.
19:59Well, even Michael Sherwood's not going to get Kennedy off this one,
20:01not with the evidence we've got.
20:03He may have retracted his confession,
20:05but our case is watertight.
20:07That's right, the 1835 new through.
20:10Can you confirm she didn't return on the earlier flight?
20:14OK, thanks for your help.
20:17Well, that rules out, Michelle Copeland.
20:19Holiday Company confirmed she flew out of Shed Jordan.
20:21It's not due back for another week.
20:23Well, she could have emailed it from the Caribbean.
20:25Unlikely.
20:26According to their IT support staff,
20:27the photo was saved in Stuart Wilkinson's personal file.
20:30And he's the only one who knows the password.
20:34Yeah.
20:35Any luck with the email address?
20:36No, I'm waiting for the internet service provider to get back to me.
20:40How do we end up with this one, eh?
20:42These cases are all the same.
20:44You put in all the legwork to track down the offender,
20:45and then the recipient doesn't want to prosecute.
20:47That's a waste of time.
20:48Look, give me the SP on the ISP ASAP.
20:51I'll be on me mobile.
20:52OK, mate.
20:53I'll be on the ISP ASAP.
20:54Yeah, I'll be on the ISP ASAP.
21:03Right.
21:05Big day tomorrow.
21:06Final drives.
21:08Leela, very professional.
21:09You just need to be a bit more confident on the commentary.
21:12Dan, as long as you don't keep thinking you're the best driver in the world,
21:15when you're not even the best in the car,
21:17you'll be fine.
21:19And Amber...
21:21Well, you've had your wake-up call.
21:23If you want to pass tomorrow,
21:24you're going to have to start taking this whole thing a lot more seriously.
21:27You know the theory.
21:28Just make sure you put it into practice.
21:31Good luck.
21:32Oh, one last thing.
21:34Early night.
21:35I don't want all my good work and yours drowning in a river of alcohol.
21:42Why not?
21:43It's not like I could get any worse.
21:47Or, I know, maybe I could kill a dog on my final drive rather than just maim one.
21:51You were just unlucky, that's all.
21:52And the vet said the dog will be up and running in a couple of days.
21:55Do better tomorrow.
21:59Get off me, man!
22:01He's brutality!
22:02Save it for your statement, in there.
22:04Go!
22:04Tell him what were you.
22:17He's strangling me.
22:18I can't breathe.
22:19Yeah, yeah.
22:20I hardly touched you.
22:21You were using unreasonable force.
22:23I know my rights.
22:23Your commissioner will have to pay me loads of compote.
22:26And you'll lose your job for this.
22:27Fine.
22:28I'm going to lose my job.
22:28But first, I've got to get you processed.
22:30So, shut your mouth.
22:31Stop wriggling and answer the sergeant's questions.
22:33Did you see what happened?
22:35No.
22:36But I think we can guess.
22:38What are you saying?
22:41We split up.
22:42And the next thing I see is Joey with a split lip and Gabriel with blood on his hands.
22:48Am I the only one doing any work round here?
22:50Okay, doctor.
22:54Thanks a lot.
22:56You've been beating up the prisoners again?
22:59Oh, it's just some young lad had a run-in with a wall down by the canal.
23:03Oh, June.
23:05How do you fancy dinner with Roberto's?
23:08I've checked and they can fit us in tonight.
23:10They've even got a table for you.
23:11Oh, Jim, this is all a bit too soon.
23:14Okay, what do you say?
23:17Some other time, maybe.
23:18I'll catch you later.
23:20Look, you might be ready for romantic walks in the park, but I'm not.
23:25Too much has happened.
23:26I can't ignore that.
23:27Yeah, I'm not a bit.
23:29One step at a time.
23:31That's what we agreed.
23:33Okay.
23:39Sergeant, how's Mr. Aziz?
23:41They're going to keep him in overnight for observation,
23:44but he should be fine to come home in the morning.
23:45That's good.
23:46And can I have a word?
23:49Yeah.
23:53So, what about Gabriel?
23:55Are you going to suspend him?
23:57What for?
23:59Well, you hit Joey.
24:01You saw it.
24:02He can't carry on working after that.
24:04Do you seriously think he'd still be at work if I saw him assault someone?
24:07The kid fell.
24:09Gabriel didn't touch him.
24:10He's saying that he didn't.
24:12Yeah, you didn't honestly believe the little toe rag, did you?
24:15I mean, he's brought in nearly every week with the same story.
24:18Police brutality.
24:19The cop are at me.
24:20I'm going to sue.
24:21He's just trying to pull a fast one.
24:24Look.
24:25I know you want to get Gabriel, but stop trying to force it.
24:33I've told you, MIT won't be interested unless you've got proof.
24:37I know, but we're running out of options.
24:39He'll slip up eventually.
24:40They always do.
24:41I don't have eventually.
24:43What are you going on about?
24:44You can't just put a deadline on something like this.
24:46Well, why not?
24:46You don't understand.
24:52I can't get on with the rest of my life until this man is put behind bars.
24:56You don't mind if I just get a few things sorted, do you?
25:18Had to close the office.
25:20It's kind of hard to concentrate there.
25:22If you don't mind me asking you a few questions while you work.
25:25No, no, no, no. Carry on.
25:26Oh, excuse me.
25:29Ken.
25:31Yeah.
25:35Okay.
25:36Thanks, mate.
25:38We've checked with the internet service provider,
25:41and the address that sent the photo isn't registered.
25:43So we can't trace it?
25:45Have you got any idea who might want your wife to know about the affair?
25:49I've got a clue.
25:52Could you have sent it accidentally, you know?
25:55You couldn't think of a way to tell your wife, so you forced the issue.
26:00This house, my business, the car.
26:02My wife owns half of everything.
26:04Got any idea how much this divorce is going to cost me?
26:06I mean, the only other person who even knew about the photograph was Michelle, and she's
26:12on holiday.
26:13And you ended the relationship with her, to stay with your wife?
26:16And the boys.
26:17Whatever problems there are between me and Ruth, it's not the boys' fault.
26:21Now, you mentioned that you hadn't looked at the photo in weeks.
26:24Yeah, not since Michelle and I were together.
26:27Why?
26:28Well, if you're right, click on a file, then you can tell when it was last opened.
26:32And if you haven't looked at it for weeks, that's what the computer can tell us.
26:35Last Thursday night?
26:47That's impossible.
26:49It was our wedding anniversary.
26:51Ruth and I went away.
26:51We left the office early.
26:54Ask her.
26:55Is that just boiled?
27:07Yeah.
27:12Now, I know Jory's notorious, but he convinced me.
27:18The way he was shouting, I mean, he sounded like he was hurt.
27:22Maybe he was.
27:23And just because he's crying wolf loads of times before, how do we know he wasn't telling
27:29the truth this time?
27:32How do we know it's not police brutality?
27:35I mean, there were those rumours about Gabriel a while ago.
27:40Ah, listen to me, I'm being ridiculous.
27:45No, you're not.
27:47How do you mean?
27:50He's not that ridiculous.
27:53When Gabriel worked the coal lane, he didn't like the way some people were getting away
27:59with things.
28:00If there was a drug dealer, a loan shark, any trouble like that, he'd deal with them.
28:05So what are you saying?
28:11There was a paedophile living on the estate.
28:13We couldn't prove anything, so Gabriel beat him to a pulp.
28:19After that, he got other people to do his dirty work.
28:22He had his own group of hired thugs.
28:24So that's why you had him taken off the estate?
28:27Just got out of control.
28:30If Gabriel decided somebody needed sorting out, he'd deal with them.
28:35It was just like all this power went to his head.
28:37He didn't know where to stop.
28:41What's this?
28:42Cozy little girly chat?
28:44Actually, uh, we're just leaving.
28:55No, she's from Vodka and Orange.
28:57I hope that's a double.
29:01I can't believe just when I got June Aptom where I went, I'd go and mess everything up.
29:06I'm going to be right back where I started with her moaning on at me all the time.
29:09I don't mind it be that bad.
29:10What a chance of you hitting a dog two days in a row.
29:13Watch here, Amber.
29:14He's trying to show you his supportive side.
29:16Stick to caveman.
29:17Amber doesn't do sensitive.
29:19You think I'm trying to chatter up?
29:21Talk about misunderstood.
29:22I ain't even noticed I've been teamed up with the best-looking women on the course.
29:29What's she doing here?
29:31Great.
29:31That's just what we need.
29:33Can't exactly relax with Carol looking over our shoulders.
29:35I was going to try my luck on her, but one of the guys back in the nick tipped me off
29:40that she's, uh, catches the other bus, if you know what I mean.
29:45Carol, are you sure about that?
29:47Hiya.
29:49You lot won't even get to start your final drive tomorrow if you've been drinking.
29:52Of course not.
29:53We're all on soft drinks.
29:55We're taking your advice and getting an early night.
29:58We just thought we'd unwind for a couple of hours first.
30:00Get our heads in the right frame of mind for tomorrow.
30:02Good.
30:03Good.
30:05I told you it was a silly idea to come to the bar over the road.
30:08Oh, relax.
30:08We're not doing anything wrong.
30:10Anyway, this gives me the chance to have a little chat with Carol.
30:20I don't believe her.
30:24Don't tell me Amber bats for the other team.
30:26Yep.
30:27She's trying to get Carol on the side.
30:29Don't you mean on her back?
30:30So, uh, are you only attracted to lesbians?
30:38What do you think?
30:41That's great.
30:42So, are you going to fax that through now?
30:44Thank you very much.
30:45And bye.
30:45The security company keeps records of when every card swiped at your office.
30:51They're faxing through a list now of cards used on Thursday night.
30:54Apparently, you all have individual codes.
30:57Yeah, yeah.
30:58Mine's, uh, 007.
31:00Ruth thought it was funny.
31:03Hilarious.
31:04Don't start, Ruth.
31:06Tom doesn't need this.
31:08I'm DC Jim Carver, Sunhill.
31:09I'm investigating what's happened.
31:11He had an affair.
31:12With his secretary.
31:13End of story.
31:15End of marriage.
31:16How many times, Ruth?
31:17I'd finished it.
31:18I chose you and the boys.
31:20That line might have worked once, Stuart.
31:22Even twice.
31:23But not a third time.
31:26I've packed some of your things.
31:27I want you out of here tonight.
31:33Tom.
31:35Sorry.
31:38Yeah.
31:39Well, that's why I finished it.
31:41I didn't want to hurt you and Warren.
31:42I still don't.
31:43You should have thought of that before, shouldn't you?
31:46Look, I said I'm sorry.
31:47How many times do you want me to say it?
31:50Ruth!
31:51Stuart, I am not prepared to discuss that anymore.
31:53Listen, Ruth, it's over.
31:54I promise you.
31:55It's finished.
31:57I'm not seeing you.
31:58Stuart, go away!
32:07Easy to get into your dad's computer, was it?
32:16He's not my dad.
32:17He's my stepdad.
32:18How did you get the password?
32:23It was dead easy.
32:29Didn't even need two ghosts, just typed in Warren.
32:32Warren?
32:33My brother.
32:35Stuart's real son.
32:37Golden boy.
32:39What about your mum?
32:41This has probably hurt her more than your stepdad.
32:44She knows he's had loads of affairs.
32:49She keeps going back to him.
32:51I thought...
32:53If everyone knew, then she'd have to kick him out.
33:01Why didn't you just tell me?
33:12What's going to happen to him?
33:14I don't want him to go to court or anything.
33:17He was only doing it for my sake.
33:20That, of course, is the beauty of malicious communications cases.
33:25If the victim doesn't want to take it any further,
33:27we don't have to.
33:29No matter how much work we've put into it.
33:37Still sticking to her issues?
33:39Bit of Dutch courage.
33:40Never hurt anyone.
33:42You're not seriously thinking he's chatting her up.
33:44I mean, she can't help any more now.
33:45It's not like she's going to be the one testing us.
33:47No, but she might be able to put a good word for me in with the examiner.
33:51So you're leaving me and Leela to look after ourselves?
33:54It's not that.
33:55It's just...
33:56You must have seen the way she looks at you.
33:58I thought you'd appreciate me leaving you around.
34:02Don't tell her I told you.
34:03Sometimes she's so shy, she just does my head in.
34:06This isn't a wind-up.
34:08I'm just trying to do you both a favour.
34:15Two orange juices, please.
34:18Ladies, do you mind if I'm joining you just for a sec?
34:20No, that's fine.
34:21Why, do you want to say hi?
34:26Come in.
34:28I just thought you'd like to know it was the stepson what done it.
34:31Oh.
34:32My guess is they won't want to prosecute them.
34:35You guess right.
34:35Look, I was thinking of heading down the pub, the Swift Half.
34:42Can I buy you one?
34:43A sort of bury-the-hatchet drink.
34:47Uh, no, I don't think so.
34:50But thank you anyway.
34:52Oh.
34:52We should get a sunstrip made for the windscreen tomorrow with Amber and Carol on it.
35:06She's practising a commentary for the final drive.
35:10Making full eye contact now.
35:12Condition's perfect.
35:13No obstructions ahead.
35:15Looks like she's got herself into a bit of a dead end.
35:24At least she's keeping her engine wallow off.
35:27The matter what Amber thinks, Carol's not going to compromise herself like that.
35:31Must be pretty important to her.
35:34At least she knows how to let her hair down.
35:36Meaning I don't?
35:38I've worked hard to get here, and I'm not about to throw it all away.
35:42Gotta relax sometimes, though.
35:45I'll tell you what.
35:47Next time you're in Canley, I'll buy your curry and a few pints, and we'll see what you're made of.
35:52I'll hold you to that.
36:07Always busy, busy, busy.
36:11Well, that's what I get paid for.
36:13Why are you on my case all the time?
36:17Sorry, I'm not.
36:18You and Laura were talking about me earlier.
36:21Gabriel, don't flatter yourself.
36:24MIT don't have me down as a liar.
36:26They're the ones who count.
36:27Not a PC with a bee in her bonnet.
36:29Just because they couldn't pin Kerry's rape on you, doesn't mean that they believed you.
36:36No one's buying that, Andrea, so stop flogging it.
36:39And if I've got a reputation to live up to...
36:43Are you threatening me?
36:44No, sweetheart.
36:47I'm promising.
36:49Unless you keep your nose out.
36:51Hello?
37:19What?
37:20Chip?
37:29You certainly know how to pick your moments.
37:32I've been trying to get a hold of you all day, and then you just show up outside the station.
37:37Are you trying to expose me?
37:38Indolaging myself.
37:40Have you been in enough meals in the news canteen?
37:42Better than there, is it?
37:45What do you want, Bruce?
37:46I want to know about this massive scoop you're working on.
37:51All in good time.
37:53Well, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise by giving away the best bits, now would I?
37:57Oh, come on, Andrea, you can at least tell me what it's about.
38:13A wee clue.
38:15Plenty of other stories waiting to become headline news.
38:17But none of them are written by your favourite, most talented undercover reporter.
38:22And none of them have inside knowledge of the biggest scandal ever to hit Sun Hill.
38:27Well, true, true, but I'm an editor first, so I picked the best story for the day.
38:34With no amount of bat in your eyelids, it's going away from the sky.
38:38So, what made you want to join the police?
39:00A deep desire to help the community.
39:03Well, that's what it says on my application.
39:04Talking truth, though, I fancy the action.
39:09What about you?
39:10A deep desire to help the community.
39:13Really?
39:14I've had you down as a career cop.
39:16You're telling me you're not interested in climbing the ladder to superintendent?
39:19Well, all right then.
39:21Come on.
39:28Come on.
39:30We're off.
39:30Hang on, I haven't finished my drink yet.
39:32So, er, you and Carol, is it, love?
39:36Fat chance.
39:37She's gone off with her girlfriend.
39:39It's my last chance of passing tomorrow.
39:42Maybe you should concentrate on using your driving skills like the rest of us.
39:45Well, get it.
39:46I pulled out all my best techniques from her and she just didn't right.
39:48What's wrong with her?
39:50We'll just have to cuddle up to a nice bottle of vodka back out of her a minute.
39:53Your husband is an investigative genius.
40:06Yes, I heard.
40:07And they're not going to prosecute.
40:08OK, well, he's not only a genius, but he's also a chef extraordinaire.
40:14And tonight I'm going to cook you the best meal you've ever had.
40:17And before you say a word, no buts.
40:20But, Jim, we have talked about this.
40:22OK, OK, look, I'm not rushing you.
40:24It's only a meal.
40:25We don't have to talk about anything.
40:28But I'm not going to take no for an answer.
40:32Well, I guess it's OK.
40:34I'll see you later.
40:40Night, June.
40:41Night.
40:44Oh, um, Roger?
40:51Are you still on for that drink tonight?
40:53Well, yeah.
40:54What changed your mind?
40:56Oh, you're right.
40:58We should put what happened behind us.
41:01Well, great.
41:01I'll pick you up from your office in five minutes.
41:04Yeah, fine.
41:14Sarge?
41:17I know I might have been jumping to conclusions about Gabriel hitting Joey,
41:20but I wasn't as far off as you think.
41:23Laura spilled beans.
41:24Now, when Gabriel was working on the Coal Lane estate,
41:27instead of dealing with criminals through the proper channels,
41:30he had his own brand of justice.
41:32Yeah, but nothing was ever proved.
41:34If he didn't like what someone was up to,
41:36he wouldn't bother arresting them or anything.
41:37He'd just get them beaten up.
41:39Well, just because Laura's confirmed it
41:41doesn't mean to say we've got any evidence, does it?
41:43But doesn't this remind you of someone else?
41:46Someone whose victims appear to be guilty of one thing or another,
41:49but were then dealt with before it could get to court?
41:51The sniper.
41:54Oh, now you're clutching the straws.
41:56Smithy, he's just threatened me.
41:58Now, he knows I'm digging.
41:59He's obviously worried about what I might find.
42:01Oh, now.
42:11So there are some similarities.
42:13What does that prove?
42:14Wait, that's not all.
42:16If you check the list of Gabriel's victims
42:18and the list of Jason Hardy's victims,
42:20the same names crop up too many times for it to be a coincidence.
42:24Hang on, that's a bit of a leak, isn't it?
42:26From slapping round a few lowlifes to having them shot.
42:29And what about Kerry?
42:31She was one of the sniper's victims,
42:32but she doesn't exactly fit into your theory, does she?
42:34So it doesn't fit as neatly as I'd like,
42:36but there is definitely a pattern.
42:38OK, maybe there's a bit of a pattern,
42:40but it's coincidence.
42:41Where's your evidence?
42:42If there was a link between Gabriel and the sniper,
42:46MIT would have found it by now.
42:48I know, but there must be some aspect of Gabriel's life
42:51that MIT don't know about.
42:57See, there might be one thing that they haven't looked into.
43:02His family.
43:09This isn't exactly common knowledge.
43:11Gabriel's mum is June Eklund.
43:21Sorry.
43:22I don't know how it helps, if it helps even.
43:28He's June's son.
43:32I don't understand why the secret.
43:35Well, I've got no idea.
43:37I'm not even supposed to know him yourself.
43:38Now, this wasn't exactly legal,
43:42so you have got to keep your gobs shut.
43:44Yeah, yeah.
43:47Gina got hold of Gabriel's birth certificate.
43:53PC Dunbar, can I have a word?
43:55Um, can I wait, sir?
43:57No.
43:59Look, if there's a problem, we have an officer on my relief.
44:01Not now, Smithy.
44:13What do you think you're doing, speaking to me like that?
44:16And to think I was the one who had to convince you
44:18my motives for living together were genuine.
44:20Sorry?
44:22What are your motives?
44:23Neil, I haven't got a clue what you're talking about.
44:26I saw you.
44:27Before.
44:29With a man.
44:32Whoever he was, there's no need to be jealous.
44:36I don't feel so much jealous.
44:38It's stupid.
44:41I recognised him.
44:44Bruce Malcolm.
44:47Editor of the Daily News.
44:48You're the one who's been leaking these stories to him, aren't you?
44:55Aren't you?
45:02Go on.
45:04Tell me I'm wrong.
45:09I've seen you with him before.
45:11I've seen his name.
45:13On your phone, I can't believe.
45:14I didn't realise.
45:15Neil, no.
45:16I loved you, I trusted you, and all the time you were
45:18feeding stories to the Daily News.
45:20Please, just listen to me.
45:22You were using me.
45:24You were using me.
45:25We were going to move in together,
45:26and you only wanted me for my inside knowledge.
45:28That's not true.
45:29If you would just let me...
45:30How much they're paying you?
45:32How much...
45:33Whatever it is, I hope it's worth it.
45:44Neil.
45:45Neil.
45:46I'm not the leak.
45:51I'm the journalist.
45:58I'm a reporter.
46:03And I have been all along.
46:04Next time on The Bill...
46:09You couldn't tell the truth about me because you still love me.
46:14If I so much as get a sniff of anything racist coming out of you,
46:18you are out of here.
46:18Do you understand?
46:19Neil, please.
46:20Wait.
46:21There is another way.
46:22What's all?
46:23I'm a delta.
46:24Oh, go ahead.
46:26The hell?
46:27su beginning to be.
46:27I know it is.
46:28Let's do close to you.

46:29Bye.
46:29Bye.
46:30Bye.
