00:00Previously on The Bill
00:04That wasn't very nice, officer.
00:06He's got a gun. Jordan's got a gun.
00:09He's right, isn't he?
00:11It's you!
00:12You're grass!
00:13I'm not grass!
00:14I'm a cop!
00:30Jordan, just put the gun down.
00:41You're a cop!
00:43Yeah.
00:44Now, you're already up to your neck in this.
00:45Don't make it worse. Just put it down!
00:47Come on, Jordan. Do what he says.
00:52Come on, mate.
00:54Drop the gun, for God's sake!
00:56Do it!
01:00Stop it!
01:07Get in!
01:28There!
01:30He's heading home!
01:41Jordan!
01:43Jordan!
01:44Move!
01:45Where is he?
01:57He's not here.
01:59You weren't messing with things you don't understand!
02:01You're right! I don't understand!
02:02I'm working undercover with Superintendent O'Carroll on this.
02:05Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't know who you were.
02:08I was going after the boy!
02:08No, you were going after me because you thought I was a dealer!
02:20Hey, that's him.
02:22Jordan Tomlin.
02:23That kid, that's him!
02:23I...
02:24Jordan!
02:41I...
02:41Jordan?
02:42Jordan?
02:50Virginia?
02:50Jordan?
02:54I'm PC Hanson.
02:56Come out, will you? We just want to talk.
03:03Jordan!
03:17Okay.
03:18Just take it easy, all right?
03:19Now you've got two choices.
03:22Put it down.
03:23Put it down!
03:30A section of a firearm.
03:32You don't have to say anything, but it may hold me defence if you do not mention in question
03:35something which you later will be caught.
03:37Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
03:40If you've got anything on you that could hurt me...
03:42All you had to do was what you were told.
03:46But you thought you knew better, didn't you?
03:47You've jeopardised the whole operation.
03:49Cos you were chasing a kid.
03:50Yeah, I was chasing the kid. I was trying to help the boy.
03:53Now I understand you're angry.
03:54Oh, you haven't seen me angry, mate.
03:56Oh, yeah?
03:56That's enough!
03:58Now you knew the boy had a gun.
04:00What on earth made you go back down there to find him?
04:03CID, we're on to it.
04:05All right, I'll deal with you later.
04:07In the meantime, you stay away from CID and you stay away from DC Nadir.
04:11Come in!
04:15You want to see me?
04:15As you know, Operation Mercury's been trying to get to the heart of the drug problem on
04:26the coal lane.
04:27In the meantime, DC Nadir's been on the inside, working his way up the chain.
04:31And I've got to the main man.
04:32You know this guy?
04:33Joshua Armstrong.
04:34The bad news is I've managed to arrange a meeting with him in four hours.
04:37You talking about a session?
04:38Well, my intention was to stake the place out, and then when Armstrong arrived, he'd have
04:41the stuff on him.
04:42Cocaine.
04:43Ten grand's worth.
04:44As soon as the deal was done, we get a team to move in, make the arrest simple.
04:47Until Lance Powell put his big feet in.
04:51Yep.
04:51You can understand why I'm so gutted about it, Gov.
04:54Armstrong was practically in the bag, but if Jordan runs around shooting his mouth off
04:57that I'm an undercover cop, then we've got nothing.
04:59Not quite.
05:00We've just picked up the kid.
05:02He's being processed now.
05:03Has anybody seen PC Powell?
05:06No.
05:06Well, John Tomlin's mum's in the front office asking for him.
05:10Hey, welcome back.
05:11How was it?
05:11Oh, perfect.
05:13You know, Caribbean, absolutely stunning.
05:15Five-not-five for two hours, go to receiving.
05:17Yeah, go ahead.
05:18Honey, I just want to talk about what happened in the wedding.
05:20I don't want to hear it, Steve.
05:21If you really want to make me happy, then just stay out of my way.
05:24Do you think you can manage that?
05:33That's him, is it?
05:43The new undercover guy.
05:45All over CID by now, is it?
05:48Mrs. Tomlin?
05:49Yeah?
05:50D.I. Manson, BC Sim.
05:51Thanks for coming in.
05:53Your mum's here.
05:54I don't want her in the interview.
05:56Yeah, well, an adult's got to sit him on it, so, yeah, we go.
06:03Hey, you.
06:04People won't be looking for you.
06:06Oi.
06:06Keep looking over your shoulder, yeah?
06:08You're a dead man.
06:09Yeah, yeah.
06:10In you go.
06:12Maybe it's best we don't involve you in the interview.
06:16Look, he was only on the street for 20, 25 minutes before he was picked up.
06:19I'm thinking, what if he kept his head down, didn't say anything to anyone?
06:21What are the chances of that?
06:22Let's just see what the boy says.
06:24Then we'll decide what we can salvage from this.
06:32Okay, interview with Jordan Tomlin.
06:34Present are his mother, Annette Tomlin.
06:36D.C. Sim, myself, D.I. Manson.
06:38Time is 14.45.
06:40Jordan, you've been arrested for threatening a police officer with a firearm.
06:44I want to know where you got the weapon.
06:48Did somebody give it here?
06:49Would you buy it off him?
06:52All right.
06:53We can sit here all day if you want.
06:54It's not skin of my nose.
06:57Off a guy, okay?
06:58Some bloke.
07:01Mohammed something.
07:04Ali.
07:05Didn't he used to be a boxer?
07:07He's not around anymore.
07:08He's gone back to where he comes from.
07:10Do you know a man by the name of Joshua Armstrong?
07:13I know who you mean, yeah.
07:15Did he give you the gun?
07:17Oh, sure.
07:18Of course he did.
07:20Don't exactly run around the same circles, do we?
07:23You think Josh Armstrong's going to want to bother with me?
07:26Where did you go?
07:28After you dropped the gun, where did you go?
07:30PC Powell saw you running into the estate.
07:37He was with me.
07:39With you?
07:41Yeah.
07:41I've got a job cleaning.
07:44They've done up some offices.
07:46Mansion House on Water Street.
07:49I worked there all week.
07:51What time did he arrive?
07:52Ten to two.
07:53Sure about that?
07:54Yeah.
07:55I meant to finish at two, so I was watching the clock.
07:58Did he make any telephone calls from the office?
08:00No.
08:01There's no line in there yet.
08:03Like I said, they've just been done up.
08:06He turned up wanting money, but wouldn't say why.
08:09I told him no way, so he just went.
08:12Was anyone else there?
08:13No.
08:14Just me.
08:15Where's your phone, Jordan?
08:17It wasn't on you when you were searched.
08:19I've been there.
08:21I knew you lot could track me through it.
08:24You think you're so wise, don't you?
08:29What's wrong?
08:31Worried about your cop.
08:34You're undercover, man.
08:36You're worried about I told somebody about him.
08:39Well, maybe I did.
08:44Maybe I didn't.
08:47Jordan, what's wrong?
08:48Interview terminated, 1448.
08:56We need to get a doctor to see him right away.
08:58What do you reckon, Gov?
08:59Do you think she's on the level?
09:00Does she know he's using?
09:02What do you think?
09:04He's an addict.
09:05He's gone into withdrawal.
09:06He needs to see the forensic medical examiner.
09:08No way!
09:08You've only been in there two minutes!
09:09He had a record crack on him when he was brought in.
09:12Didn't you know he was a user?
09:16That's only...
09:16Oh, St. Lucia's amazing.
09:20You ever been?
09:21No.
09:22We've stayed in this bungalow chalet thing, you know, right in the water on this beach,
09:27which we had to ourselves practically the whole honeymoon.
09:31But there was so much of it.
09:32It's great.
09:33Yeah, I'm happy for you.
09:34I know what people are saying, Yvonne.
09:37What?
09:37Do you know what?
09:38I don't care, because I'm loved and I'm in love.
09:41So Steve Hunter and anyone else can say what they're like, because I'm not going to be
09:44around to hear it soon, anyway.
09:46T-line, A-C-O, Oscar, receiving?
09:48Go ahead.
09:49White Gate Centre.
09:51Report on missing child.
09:52Informing the mother, Emma Thomas.
09:54Received, unway.
09:56What do you mean you won't be around to hear it?
09:58Well, Scott wants a fresh start and he's been offered a new job in Dublin.
10:01They want him as of next week.
10:03So I've handed him my notice, Yvonne.
10:06I've resigned.
10:07I'm leaving.
10:08Hi, Emma Thomas.
10:24Of your hands, I'm PC Harmon.
10:26This is PC Hemingway.
10:27It's your child that's gone missing.
10:29Yeah, it's my baby.
10:29I mean, I just lived there for two minutes, that's all.
10:31She was in her buggy sleeping.
10:32What's her name?
10:33It's Alice.
10:34She's nine months old and she's wearing like an all-in-one.
10:37It's, it's slowly.
10:39OK, what did the buggy look like?
10:40Uh, it's, it's blue and it's got like a, like a little teddy attached to it on a string.
10:45Like a brown Paddington.
10:46OK, one second.
10:48All units from 298, attention requested to a baby in a blue buggy.
10:54Do you want to sit down?
10:56Oh, yeah.
10:57Right, can you check with all the shopping centre security?
10:59Oh, they know what's happened, the shop owner's told them already.
11:02OK, great.
11:03Just make sure they're checking in all the shops, will you, until more backup arrives?
11:06What about the cameras?
11:07They're not working outside.
11:08We'll check these ones in here.
11:11I know this is a funny thing to ask, but worst case scenario, do you know if there's anyone
11:16who'd want to take your child?
11:18Yeah, my ex.
11:19Whisk this up.
11:21He, he was seeing somebody else and I told him I didn't want to let him near Alice.
11:24I said I'd fight him through the courts if he wanted anything to do with her.
11:28OK, what's his name?
11:29Kevin Trelease.
11:30And have you any idea where we might find him?
11:32Not if he's got Alice, no.
11:35Look, um, he's usually at work.
11:36He runs a cafe on Briar Street.
11:40Message one.
11:41It's Kate.
11:43You're hiding from me, Phil.
11:44Yeah, well, I'm pregnant and there's no way of walking away and leaving this to me.
11:48Anyway, I've spoken to your brother and he's been really helpful.
11:52I've heard all about your daughter.
11:54Never told me about...
11:54OK, listen up.
11:56This is DC Ned Diaz.
11:58Yeah, well, you make a great dealer.
12:00Pure pun life.
12:02You know, it's all fooled.
12:03Uniform just called in a possible baby snatch, Phil.
12:05It's a top priority.
12:06Do you want to get on it?
12:07Go.
12:09OK, where are we?
12:11Here.
12:11This is where Jordan pulled the gun on us.
12:14Here's Water Street in Mansion House where his mother works.
12:17Yeah, she said he got there at ten to two.
12:18And we lost him here in no more than five minutes before that.
12:20That was quick to Water Street.
12:22Must have been going some, even if he cut down the coal line.
12:24Chances are he wouldn't have talked to anyone on the way.
12:26You don't know that.
12:27It was a fast conversation if he'd heard.
12:29And he didn't have his mobile with him, did he?
12:31We don't know that either.
12:32We've only got his word that he threw it away.
12:34I think it's worth the risk.
12:35What, are you going back out there?
12:37You must be joking.
12:38No, I'm deadly serious.
12:39Look, the kid was only running around for, what, 25 minutes.
12:41Who's he going to have talked to?
12:42OK, fine.
12:43You let me know and we'll come and visit you in the morgue.
12:45Neil's right.
12:46We take no chances, not with Armstrong.
12:48But, sir, the deal's supposed to be going down tonight.
12:49If I'm not on the street...
12:50I said no!
12:52We did this my way.
12:55The boy's house is being searched, is it?
12:57Yes, sir.
12:57Susie's taking the boy's mother back there now.
12:59What about his mobile?
13:00I'm having the account traced and checked now, sir.
13:02And any phone boxes he might have used en route.
13:04OK, CCTV.
13:05Anything near where the boy was picked up?
13:07Yeah, there's a camera over Water Street where his mother was working.
13:09We're collecting the footage now.
13:11Let's make this as fast as we can, yeah.
13:13Sir.
13:16Steve?
13:17It's Phil.
13:18I set Kate on the phone.
13:20I think we need to have a chat, don't you?
13:21Gary, you busy?
13:24Huh?
13:25It's been a baby disappearance.
13:26White Gate Shopping Centre.
13:28Well, come on.
13:29I'll fill you in on the way.
13:37Hiya.
13:38Um...
13:38It's alright.
13:39If I come in, I was just...
13:40In the neighbourhood?
13:41Yeah.
13:41Yeah.
13:41Yeah.
13:42Are you alright?
13:47Oh, fantastic.
13:49What do you think?
13:51Look, I just want to say, if there's anything you need...
13:54It's too late.
13:55You were supposed to be helping me out with Jordan.
13:57Well, thanks very much.
13:59They're tearing the place to pieces.
14:01Thinking they're going to find an arms dump or something.
14:03Look, we did what we could right from the start.
14:05We showed you how to track his movements with the phone.
14:07OK, he was causing trouble.
14:09Are you coming here with your promises?
14:11Telling me you're going to help straighten him out?
14:14You let me down.
14:17Well, what was I supposed to do?
14:19Mrs Tomlin, your son threatened a police officer with a gun.
14:23Now, try as I might.
14:24I can't find any reason to excuse that.
14:27Can you?
14:28I don't want to make matters worse.
14:30But you need to know if you don't already know it.
14:33He's a drug user.
14:34That's why he behaved like he did at the interview.
14:37Steve, it's Phil.
14:43I said, call you on the phone.
14:44I think we need to have a chat, don't you?
14:47Don't tell Barrett, drug referral.
14:49You've got so many custody for me.
14:50Yeah, just one second.
14:51All right, I'm coming.
14:55I want to see my mum.
14:56I want to see her now.
15:00All right, calm down.
15:01Just calm down.
15:02All right, calm down.
15:03Where's my mum?
15:04Just calm down.
15:05What am I supposed to say to my mum?
15:07She didn't know I was using...
15:09Has the doctor seen him?
15:10Yeah, he's been medicated.
15:11But this isn't a drill, not anymore.
15:12Hey, listen.
15:13Listen.
15:14Whatever you want, we'll get it.
15:15Okay?
15:17If you want your mum, we'll get her.
15:19Okay?
15:20I didn't mean for this to happen.
15:35Jordan, I'm here to help.
15:38My mum, I didn't want to get her involved.
15:45I want to see her.
15:47But I can't.
15:48I can't see me like this.
15:51You and me are going to talk, okay?
15:53And we're going to get through this.
15:57Come on.
15:58I'll let her down.
15:59I knew there was something wrong, but I asked him outright if he was using any drugs.
16:13And he said...
16:13And he said no?
16:15To be honest, he wasn't going to say yes, was he?
16:18Well, what else was I supposed to do?
16:20Stay with him 24 hours a day?
16:22Lock him in his room?
16:24He does what he wants.
16:26I can't stop him.
16:27It's no consolation, but if he has been taking stuff, it might explain why he's been going off the rails.
16:32It follows a pattern, Mrs Tommel.
16:34He needs the money for the drugs.
16:40I've buried my head in the sand, haven't I?
16:42Blaming yourself for his addiction is also part of the pattern.
16:45It's not your fault, not from what I've seen.
16:50We will get him help.
16:55She's vomiting.
16:57And what can I do you gentlemen for?
16:59I'm DS Hunter.
17:00This is DC Bass, Sunhill.
17:01We're looking for a Kevin Trelease.
17:03Yeah, that's me.
17:04Just a couple of questions.
17:09You've been here all afternoon, Kevin?
17:10Yeah, I've been here all day.
17:12I haven't left the CAF.
17:13Not at all.
17:14Not even for half an hour.
17:15No.
17:16Ask her.
17:17Ask anybody.
17:19Listen, you people better have a good reason for busting in here like this in front of my customers.
17:23What am I supposed to have done?
17:24Look, it's your wife, Emma.
17:25What about her?
17:26She made an emergency call from Whitegate Shopping Centre earlier this afternoon.
17:31Emma?
17:32Look, it's about your daughter, Alice.
17:34I think you should come with us.
17:37Now, Emma says you made threats.
17:39What do you mean?
17:40Said you were going to take away the baby.
17:42No, no, no, no, no, no.
17:43What I said was I wanted to see Alice.
17:45We had a bust-up, yeah?
17:46What about?
17:47I was unfaithful.
17:48I slept with someone on one night stand when she was pregnant.
17:52She found out after Alice was born, and that was that.
17:54She told me to go.
17:56My fault of hands up, but she said she was going to stop me seeing Alice.
18:00And you said?
18:01I said if she tried, then I'd take her.
18:04Nothing was going to stop me spending time with my daughter.
18:06But it was just something to say, right?
18:09In the heat of the moment, I never would take Alice away from her.
18:12I never would.
18:13I love her.
18:14I love them both too much for that.
18:17Is there anyone else you know who might have taken her on your behalf?
18:19What are you saying?
18:20Well, the relative, or...
18:21No, God, no, look.
18:23My child has been stolen, all right?
18:26I don't know what I'm doing.
18:27I'm putting my hair out of here, and Emma must be the same.
18:29So I want to see Emma now.
18:31I want to see her now.
18:32All right, you sit there.
18:32Now, I want to see her now.
18:34Kevin, Kevin, just sit down and calm down, okay?
18:39You said Kevin let you down badly.
18:43He promised he'd be there for me, and he wasn't.
18:46What he did is unforgivable.
18:49We've searched his flat and the calf.
18:52Alice isn't there.
18:59Well, he could have got somebody else to do it, couldn't he?
19:01Well, we can't discount anything, but...
19:03What?
19:04If he'd have taken her, he wouldn't have waited around for you lot to turn up?
19:06Is that what you're thinking?
19:10No, Kevin's got her.
19:12He's got...
19:13He's got to...
19:16He's got to have taken her!
19:18He's got to have taken her!
19:20He's got to have taken her!
19:23Gov, the CCTV tapes from Water Street have arrived.
19:26What'd they like?
19:27They're good.
19:28They show the building where Jordan Tomlin was holed up.
19:30Susie's going through them now.
19:31Oh, is he?
19:32He went off the deep end, didn't he?
19:33Yeah, the drug referral worker's here.
19:34She's talked to him, calmed him down.
19:36Rochelle Barrett, G.I. Manson.
19:38Hi.
19:39And Superintendent O'Caro.
19:40Actually, we know each other.
19:41All right.
19:42Rochelle's husband's the superintendent at Spicer Street.
19:44Ian and I were sorry about what happened to your family.
19:49Is Jordan Tomlin fit to be interviewed?
19:51Yeah, according to the FME, he's been using crack, hence the hot sweats and the cramps.
19:55So is he a junkie?
19:56Yes.
19:57And he's a kid.
19:58He's worried about what his mother's going to think and whether or not he's going to get sent to young offenders.
20:02Look, if you want my opinion, he's in a hole and he's panicking.
20:05He's way, way out of his depth here.
20:06Is the mother here?
20:07He didn't want her sitting in, sir.
20:09He's asked for a shell.
20:11Well, shall we get on with it?
20:20I bought the gun.
20:22Where?
20:23I can't say.
20:23It wasn't Joshua Armstrong, Dave, that's what you're thinking.
20:28So what, you're a courier for somebody, are you?
20:29No.
20:30One of the dealers on the estate?
20:31No.
20:31Come on, Jordan, I'm not stupid.
20:32I know how it works.
20:34You've got to have it.
20:35They give you drugs, you do anything for them, right?
20:39What's going to happen to me?
20:42Young offenders?
20:43That's up to the courts, Jordan.
20:46Okay, let's forget about the gun for a minute, all right?
20:50You ran away from the officers, you went to your mum, and then what?
20:53Where'd you go then?
20:54Nowhere.
20:55That building along the road?
20:57Yeah.
20:58Didn't go anywhere else first, didn't speak to anybody?
21:01Jordan, I just need you to tell the truth.
21:05Tell you what.
21:07I'll do you a deal.
21:09You help me, and I'll help you.
21:11Well, I'll tell you what, Jordan.
21:13I'll do you a deal.
21:15No one believes a word you say, you know that?
21:17You know why?
21:18Because you lie, and you cheat.
21:22Well, he's right, isn't he?
21:24Do you want me to say something different?
21:26Look, I'm on your side, mate.
21:28But if you want help, you've got to help yourself first.
21:31You've got one thing going for you, and that's your mother, and you treat her like a doormat.
21:37And she's still standing by you, but this isn't going to go on forever, you know.
21:40You want to straighten things out?
21:42Well, you're going to have to make some changes.
21:44So this is the deal, Jordan.
21:46Start telling the truth.
21:47And then people might begin to respect you, and they won't write you off as just another
21:51waste-of-space junkie.
21:54You're full of it, aren't you?
21:57All you care about is what that grass is up to undercover cop.
22:02Well?
22:04I didn't.
22:06I couldn't phone nobody, even if I wanted to, and I never saw no one either.
22:11Happy?
22:12On my mother's life, I never said a word.
22:17We've been all over the shopping centre, put out a detailed description of the baby,
22:25issued a photograph, and no-one's seen a thing.
22:27And there's nothing to suggest the father took her either.
22:29Problem is, the camera doesn't show the entrance, just the interior.
22:32If it did, we might see the baby being taken.
22:35All right, let's find out who these women are.
22:37Now, if they use credit cards, get onto the shop, you can trace them that way.
22:40Right, I want them in here for an interview, right away.
22:43Someone must have seen something.
22:45You stay there.
22:47Gary, you talk to Emma again, okay?
22:48Find out if she remembers anything about the other customers.
22:50Sarge.
22:55Right, come here.
22:56What's up?
22:56I've got a message.
22:57You want to see me?
22:57Yeah.
22:58In there?
22:59You've been blowing your mouth off?
23:03Now, I've done Kate on the blower.
23:05Well, what's that got to do with me?
23:06Right, she left a message.
23:07She said you told her that I got another woman up the duff before.
23:10We were only talking, all right?
23:11We were just talking.
23:14She said she got her pregnant.
23:16And what did you tell her?
23:17You're fine blanks?
23:19That's unbelievable.
23:20That's none of your business.
23:22You've already got a daughter walking around here somewhere.
23:24So how the hell can you be fine blanks?
23:26It's your responsibility, Phil.
23:28So deal with it.
23:28Okay, here's Mansion House,
23:47taken from a CCTV camera from the top of Water Lane.
23:50Right, here he comes, Jordan.
23:52He heads into the building at 1351, just like his mother said.
23:59Now, three minutes later, he's out again.
24:03And he heads straight over to the building.
24:06Well, we've got him picked up on another camera.
24:09And as you can see, he doesn't speak to anyone.
24:12Well, that's it, then.
24:13That nails it.
24:14That nails it if you trust Jordan.
24:16You're basing this entire thing
24:17on the evidence of a 16-year-old crack addict.
24:20No, there's your evidence right in front of your eyes.
24:22My cover's intact.
24:24In three hours, we could have Joshua Armstrong in custody.
24:26We have to run with this.
24:28Okay, we'll do it.
24:33We're back on.
24:34Sir, if Jordan...
24:36Right, D.C. Nadir has arranged a meeting for here.
24:39It's a garage, a small backstreet place on Moseley Street,
24:41run by this guy, Roy Wallace.
24:43He's an associate of Armstrong's.
24:45The arrangement is 6.30, Armstrong will arrive.
24:48Two guys with him for protection.
24:49We'll then go into the garage, the doors will close.
24:52I'll do the deal and you guys move on him.
24:53Susie and Joe, you'll set up an observation point across the road.
24:56I want our eyes on Zane at all times.
24:58Sir.
24:58This is a massive risk, sir.
24:59Surely...
25:00I also want mobile surveillance and a Trojan unit on hand.
25:05If there's a slightest indication that this is going to go pay a shave...
25:07Then I'm gone.
25:08Absolutely.
25:09Right, let's get to it.
25:10Sir.
25:11Sir.
25:12If you're unhappy, I need to hear about it.
25:28Come on, speak out.
25:30Let's clear this up right here, right now.
25:32OK.
25:33There are some things I don't understand here, sir.
25:35Like what you're doing involved in this in the first place.
25:37You're acting like Zane's handler.
25:41I can't get into that with you.
25:42Not yet.
25:44You'll just have to trust me on this one.
25:46And therein lies the problem, doesn't it?
25:48You don't trust my judgement, do you?
25:50I think maybe that...
25:51You think maybe what?
25:53You think because I've suffered a personal tragedy, I'm not capable of objective analysis.
25:57I don't know where you get the gore.
25:59Well, I never actually said that, sir.
26:02And Zane Nadir...
26:02Zane Nadir is arrogant, yes.
26:04But he's getting results.
26:06The intrusion team, mobile surveillance, is back.
26:08I'll be covered at all times.
26:11I need you on board, Neil.
26:13Not heckling from the sidelines.
26:16We've got a chance to make a real headway into the drugs problem here in Sunhill.
26:20Now, either I have your full support,
26:23or I get someone else to head this up.
26:25Right, we've been going through the security footage from the shop.
26:36I just want to check a few things through with you.
26:38Is that OK?
26:40Would you?
26:45Now, the shop's pretty busy,
26:47and the camera shows you at the counter.
26:49We've been through this already.
26:50Haven't you questioned Kevin?
26:51He must know where she is.
26:52Listen, I know this is difficult,
26:55but I need you to really think and concentrate, OK?
26:58So you're at the counter,
26:59Alice is in the buggy by the entrance, yeah?
27:01Yeah.
27:02Now, the camera shows you glancing over.
27:05Like checking her, it seems.
27:07Now, where are the women in the queue?
27:08The woman behind me dropped her purse,
27:10and I picked it up for her.
27:11Absolutely, which is when you took your eyes off Alice.
27:13Now, was there anyone in the shop,
27:15anyone at all, who stood out to you?
27:17How?
27:17Was someone behaving oddly?
27:19You know, someone you might have looked twice at,
27:21no matter how innocent they might have seemed.
27:22Oh, well, there was a man, an older man.
27:33OK.
27:34I mean, there weren't many men in the shop,
27:35and I remember him because he looked so old-fashioned, you know.
27:38And you remember what he looked like?
27:40He's old.
27:41Well, older, sort of, um, late 60s, early 70s, maybe.
27:46I don't know.
27:47I wasn't taking much notice.
27:49Just try, will you?
27:51It could be important.
27:55I think he had a carrier bag and a hat.
27:59Like a Trilby hat.
28:02And he was carrying that.
28:03Great.
28:04We've been over this.
28:07If there was a bloke there, we would have noticed it.
28:11Who's she talking to?
28:17There.
28:18She said the guy had some kind of hat, right?
28:20Like a Trilby.
28:22Well, there, look.
28:23She's talking to him.
28:25Have you traced her?
28:26Uh, yeah.
28:27She used a switch card.
28:29Uh, Julie Wade.
28:31Flat 3, 34, Lansia Gardens.
28:33We've contacted her, told her about the missing baby.
28:36You asked her to come in?
28:37Yeah.
28:37And also the other two customers we've been able to trace.
28:39They should be down in the front office.
28:41Nice one, Zona.
28:47Julie Wade.
28:48We're investigating the disappearance of a child, um, a five-month-old baby, from Whitegate Shopping Centre earlier this afternoon.
29:11Yeah, your officer who phoned, he told me.
29:14It's just some general inquiries.
29:15You were there this afternoon, right?
29:16Absolutely.
29:17In the same shop.
29:18Well, look at you, eh?
29:19Eh?
29:21What's her name?
29:22Chloe.
29:24So, how can I help?
29:25Well, we've looked through the security footage of the shop.
29:27That's how we managed to trace you.
29:29But there's someone else we'd like to trace very much.
29:32A man.
29:33Now, the camera shows you that the two are waiting to be served.
29:35Yeah.
29:36And it looks like you're with him.
29:38Now, you point to the window and you say something to him.
29:40Sixties, dark overcoat.
29:42Carrying a Trilby hat?
29:43Yeah.
29:44Yeah, that's my dad.
29:46Right.
29:47What?
29:48You think he stole someone's baby?
29:50Well, that's a laugh.
29:51He didn't even take mine and he was meant to.
29:53That's what I was telling him.
29:55I had a job interview and he was supposed to be looking after her.
29:58I don't understand.
29:59Well, when I came out of the shop, he'd gone and she was still there in her buggy.
30:02Hang on a minute.
30:03This is your buggy, right?
30:05The buggy that you went to the shopping centre with earlier?
30:06Yeah.
30:07So, where did you park it?
30:08Yeah.
30:08Yeah.
30:08Oh, did you take her around with you?
30:09No, I left her in the doorway.
30:11There was another buggy there.
30:13Your dad knows Chloe well, does he?
30:15Well, he doesn't get to see her as often as he'd like.
30:17Right.
30:18So, there's two buggies parked in the doorway.
30:21You tell him to look after Chloe while you go to your appointment, but when you leave
30:24the shop, your baby's still there.
30:25Oh, God.
30:30He's gone and taken the wrong buggy, hasn't he?
30:32I'm so sorry if I'd known.
30:35Oh, I don't believe it.
30:36How could he be so stupid?
30:38It's okay.
30:39We just need you to think about where he could have taken her.
30:48Carl's here.
30:49Here we go.
30:55Best friend, then.
31:05You know this guy?
31:08No.
31:10That's right.
31:12Don't forget the cash.
31:14Can't do the deal without the cash.
31:19I hate covert ops.
31:22Have a drink.
31:23No.
31:23Well, that machismo.
31:26Top gun.
31:28Top banana.
31:30Did you used to say that when you were a kid?
31:32Top banana.
31:34No.
31:43Is that Armstrong?
31:45No.
31:46Have you been to see Inspector Gold about your resignation yet?
32:00No, I've just left it on her desk.
32:02She's not back till tomorrow now.
32:04I have got a mountain of paperwork to get through before they're going to let me go.
32:08Leave it.
32:08Gary Bess has got some good news.
32:10I don't know what to say, really.
32:18It would have been like I hadn't even noticed.
32:19He was still pushing her down by the river on the towpath.
32:22And she was still asleep?
32:23Yeah, tucked in, huddled over the bugger.
32:25If she'd have woken up, he probably would have noticed something was wrong.
32:27It's a move, really.
32:28It just sends her right off.
32:30If she can't sleep, we just have to walk with her, you know, even in the middle of the night,
32:34don't we, eh?
32:35It never fails.
32:36You'd know, would you?
32:38Well, given another chance, yeah.
32:42Right there.
32:43Please stay right there in the car for your other.
32:45Take your own.
32:45Yeah, yeah.
32:46Just come in.
32:54Thanks.
32:56Thanks a lot.
32:56What are you doing?
33:04You come in a warm?
33:05I'm invited, yeah.
33:06What do you think?
33:15You all right?
33:18Yeah.
33:19Liar.
33:21I don't know.
33:21I've just seen Emma and Kevin so happy after everything they've been through.
33:24It just made me feel a bit...
33:26I need.
33:28Yeah, well, you've only just come back from honeymoon.
33:29You're bound to feel a bit emotional.
33:31Yeah, I know, but I can normally do that, though.
33:33People upset.
33:35I can handle it.
33:36Well, you know why that is, don't you?
33:38Because you get in with them.
33:39You empathise, like you did with Scott.
33:42Look, I'm happy for you.
33:44But we're going to miss you, Andy.
33:45You do know that, don't you?
33:47I know you, Yvonne.
33:48And I know what you're doing.
33:50You're trying to be all up about me leaving.
33:52But you don't mean it.
33:53What did I just say?
33:54Nothing.
33:55That's the point.
33:56You haven't even tried to talk me out of it.
33:59Honey!
33:59Just give me a sec, all right?
34:01I'll be fine.
34:10Something's happened with Scott, hasn't it?
34:12I can't think what else has made you so uptight.
34:14It's probably me just letting everything out of proportion, as usual.
34:17So you've fallen out, you and Scott?
34:20No!
34:21What then?
34:22Come on, honey.
34:23Right, OK.
34:25I don't even know where to start.
34:27We got back late last night.
34:30Scott was up early for a meeting this morning, so I sorted our stuff out.
34:33The passports were just lying around.
34:36So I went into his office and put them in a safe place.
34:39And?
34:40In his desk there's a drawer and it's always locked.
34:43But I know where he keeps the keys, so I thought I'd put the passports in there.
34:47And found this.
34:54It's a receipt from a storage company.
34:57He's got stuff in storage.
34:59So?
35:00Look at the date on it.
35:02It's the date after Karen was murdered.
35:04Why would he go and rent storage space on that day of all days?
35:10Have you asked him?
35:11No, it seems wrong.
35:13And have you been there, to the storage place?
35:15No.
35:16I feel awful doubting him.
35:19I screamed and shouted at Steve for staying stuff about Scott,
35:22but whatever anybody thinks they want, I am not.
35:26Some stupid, lovestruck woman.
35:28But...
35:29The major investigation team questioned Scott and Cleared it.
35:37Exactly.
35:38It's funny, Dad's go away, right?
35:41But this is really playing on my mind.
35:43I can't square it.
35:48Come on.
35:49There's only one way to settle this.
35:54What's happening?
35:56Gov.
35:58Armstrong's people, presumably.
35:59They're hardly keeping a low profile, are they?
36:04A major deal's supposed to be going down here soon.
36:07What are they doing, standing there like that?
36:11It's too much activity.
36:13It's not right.
36:18Where's DC, Nadia?
36:19Inside.
36:21I thought the super would want to be on the ground himself on this one.
36:24I mean, I'm just thinking of, if this goes wrong,
36:28who's in the firing line?
36:30Do you know what I mean?
36:32I've got Dean in sight, sir.
36:33I'm probably just being paranoid, aren't I?
36:49Yeah, but you are alone, don't you?
36:50You're not going to rest until you do, so...
36:52There we go.
36:54Do you want me to...
36:56Do you want me to...
36:57Do you want me to...
37:14Do you want me to...
37:43looks of it. Oh, my God knows what he's doing, renting this room to store him in.
37:50This was stupid. God, I feel stupid. Come on, let's get out of here. It's a crazy idea.
37:56Come on. Yeah. Where have you been? Keeping my head down. Wise man. What's up? Him, Jordan's
38:25a solicitor. Noah's got the duty brief, hasn't he? Well, that's what I thought. Only Steve
38:29Hunter says he knows him, and he's not on legal aid. He's paid by the hour. Annette can't
38:33afford a brief, can she? Well, that's what I thought. So, who's paying for him? He won't
38:37say client confidentiality. Only if Annette can't pay for him, who has?
38:50Do you know, Manson? Sir, it's Lance Powell. I think you should know Jordan's not using
38:54the duty brief. Looks like his solicitor's been paid for. By who? I don't know. The
38:57brief won't say. I don't know for sure, but I'm worried it's Armstrong. Get round to Annette's
39:02and speak to her right away. I want to know what's going on. Go off.
39:10Do you see Eddie has in the car? They're moving out. They're changing the venue.
39:13Have mobile surveillance clocked the car? Yes, they've seen him.
39:16Do you think we've been rumbled? What do you think?
39:20Okay. There are two options. Either Armstrong's just being careful and he's simply moved the
39:49venue. Oh, they've rumbled DC Nadir. Plus, we've got Jordan's solicitor back at the station.
39:53We don't know who's paying for him. It could be Armstrong. Or it could be his mother. She's
39:56worried sick of battle. Sir, this is crazy. Did DC Nadir give any indication that he was
40:02in trouble? No. Well, if you were Armstrong, what would you do? You don't know the guy,
40:06you wouldn't take any chances. And as for the brief, well...
40:09Do you have the target vehicle in sight?
40:14I've got eyeball now, sir. Travelling west on the Canley Road, junction with Larkfield Street.
40:18Taking that now. It's for another meeting point. Over.
40:21There's a disuse factory ahead. Vehicle's stopping there. Looks like this could be the place.
40:25Over. We're on our way.
40:40There it is.
40:44Can you see Nadir?
40:49Yes.
40:50Looks like this is the place, then.
41:00Now's your chance, Shane. You're on your own.
41:02If you want to call this off, go ahead.
41:06All he's got to do is dial his mobile.
41:08How long we got?
41:13About an hour.
41:18Let's do it. If Shane's happy with it, then so am I. Let's get the arrest team in place.
41:24Annette!
41:24Open up! It's PC, pal!
41:26Look, come on!
41:27We need to talk.
41:29We need to talk.
41:33Who's paying for the brief, Annette?
41:35What brief?
41:35Not you. You don't have the money. So who's stepping in?
41:37Who's bailing you out? Joshua Armstrong?
41:39What are you talking about?
41:40I put my neck on the line for you running after your son.
41:44What do you want me to say?
41:46Jordan told Armstrong about the undercover cop, didn't he?
41:49How the hell should I know? I don't know any Joshua Armstrong.
41:52He's paid for the brief, hasn't he? Is that what he's done, Annette? For services rendered?
41:55I don't know any of you. If you're lying to me, you're in deep. I mean it. Now Jordan came
42:22to you at your offices, right? Did you speak to someone then?
42:24No. The phones aren't connected there yet. I already told D.R. Manson that.
42:29And he didn't have his mobile with him. He said he got rid of it. Is that right? Look,
42:33if you're lying to protect Jordan, you're going to make it worse. If you go inside for
42:36a long, long time, they'll absolutely throw the book at him.
42:41One thing, that's all. I honestly don't know this Armstrong guy, all right? I swear.
42:47And everything else I said was the truth. Except...
42:50Except?
42:51Jordan's mobile. He did have it on him when he got to me at the offices. I knew you'd be
42:57after him, and I knew he could be tracked through it, so...
43:00You took it off in then, did you? Where's it now?
43:02I threw it out. It's in the bins out front.
43:06Oh, yeah.
43:07You're kidding.
43:08You're just talking to me.
43:11You're kidding.
43:16You're kidding.
43:22You're kidding?
43:28You're kidding?
43:29Mention.
43:32Jordan made a call to Armstrong, sir.
43:36I've got his mobile phone.
43:38Are you sure?
43:39Positive.
43:40I've got it right here.
43:41Call made this afternoon, 1352.
43:43Five minutes after he pulled the gun on us.
43:45Armstrong will know about these in the deer, sir.
43:46He'll know it all.
43:47I found Jordan's mobile.
43:48He's called Armstrong.
43:49This is a set-up.
43:50Get him out of there!
43:52Get him out of there now!
43:54Get him out of there now!
43:57Get him out of there now!
44:01Get down!
44:24You all right?
44:25Yeah.
44:26Sure?
44:27Yes, I'm fine.
44:31What were you saying about me heckling from the sidelines?
44:33What?
44:34I was right, wasn't I?
44:35This has been crazy from the start.
44:37If you'd have been properly focused on the job, sir,
44:40you'd have seen this coming.
44:44DI Manson's a DC master's receiver.
44:47So what's on your mind, everyone?
44:49Coming out tonight, meeting a few people for a drink.
44:51You worked on the Karen Burnett inquiry when the body was first found?
44:56Not this again.
44:58Just yes or no?
44:59You work on it or not?
45:00Yeah, why?
45:02One of her gloves was found at the scene,
45:04but it was returned to her husband because forensics found nothing on it.
45:07I gave it back to him myself, along with some other stuff of Karen's.
45:10So?
45:11So what happened to the other one, the other glove?
45:13Well, the killer most probably took it from the scene.
45:15As a trophy or because it had evidence on it, maybe.
45:18Right.
45:19So, whoever has the missing glove, chances are they're involved in Karen's murder.
45:24What's it look like?
45:25Well, you'll have to ask MIT, but I think it was dark suede.
45:33Then you need to get on to MIT.
45:35That's the missing glove.
45:37The glove I returned to Scott was clean.
45:39That's got blood on it.
45:40Where the hell did you get this?
45:42It's a long story, Gary.
45:44But that glove means Scott Bennett killed his wife.
45:51It's all fine.
45:52I've handed him my resignation.
45:54Oh, well, honey.
45:55That was fantastic.
45:57What, are you sure that's what you want?
45:59100%.
46:00New life, new beginning.
46:01Next time on The Bill.
46:02Woo!
46:03How could you do that without talking to me first?
46:04I'm so sorry.
46:05Have you got any idea what this is going to do to Scott?
46:06Answer me.
46:07I need to talk to you about honey.
46:08I'm worried about her safety.
46:09If you won't tell her, then I will.
46:10Go ahead.
46:11But if you do, you can kiss your career goodbye.
46:12Goodbye.
46:13Goodbye.
46:14Welcome to Do
46:15Try and I ask Jamie if you want to get safer.
46:17Tell her back in 161 CHAOS!
46:19Hello, Donnie and Martyn.
46:20It's nothing there, man, but it was out of the market.
46:24I already had a farm and have some problems in the market.
46:25So I hope you're coming fromfit.
46:26Have a great day and bear your life.
46:27Uh oh!
