00:00Previously, on The Bill...
00:04You had to use your spray.
00:05What was that? I'll end up next to Tony in St. Hugh's.
00:07It's Kate. I think she's going to lose this baby.
00:10You have until tomorrow morning's shift
00:12to show us that you trust us to use this equipment responsibly.
00:15Are you telling me that effectively you're on strike?
00:30I'm sorry, sir.
00:41Neil.
00:42The relief seemed pretty wound up of our PC Hemingway suspension.
00:45How are you going to handle it?
00:46First and foremost by reminding them that we're police officers.
00:48We don't down tools, we get them with it.
00:50And if that doesn't work?
00:52That isn't an option.
01:00I understand your strength of feeling.
01:13But let me remind you of borrower instructions.
01:15I cannot allow any officers out on patrol
01:18without the use of relevant safety equipment.
01:22With respect, sir, it was use of that equipment
01:25that got PC Hemingway suspended.
01:27No, Sergeant Ackland.
01:28The death of a young man.
01:30And the subsequent public interest
01:31led to PC Hemingway being suspended.
01:33And in the meantime, PC Stamp is in hospital
01:35because he didn't feel able to defend himself.
01:38Well, Sergeant, we don't really know what's going on, do we?
01:41He told me that he hesitated to use his equipment
01:44because he wasn't sure that the management would back him.
01:46And why would he think that?
01:48Have I not given every officer here my full support?
01:51Well, I know that PC Valentine didn't feel fully supported
01:55after he had to use his CS spray the other day.
01:57Every time a member of the public gets injured
01:59by one of my officers, I have to justify it.
02:02All I need from you are the facts,
02:04and I will defend you to the hilt.
02:06Any officer doing their job properly
02:07has absolutely nothing to worry about.
02:10But in the meantime, PC Hemingway is still suspended.
02:13Sergeant Ackland,
02:14I think I've made my position clear.
02:17Your feelings are noted.
02:19But you appear to be asking me to reinstate PC Hemingway
02:22something over which I have no control.
02:25Sir, we just need to feel that we have the full support of our senior officers.
02:29And in everything other than this action,
02:31you have my total backing.
02:32Now let's hope that brings this matter to a close.
02:42Given your professionalism,
02:44I shouldn't even have to ask this question.
02:47But are you going to wear your equipment,
02:49or do I have to send you all home?
02:51I don't have to send you all home.
03:21Look, I just want to see what the doctor has to say.
03:23Why?
03:24I shouldn't have called.
03:26It's my problem, OK?
03:27You're off the hook.
03:28Look, can we just be civil?
03:30I've apologised for the way I treated you.
03:32Can we just leave it at that and concentrate on the baby?
03:35What does that mean, Phil?
03:36You don't think I'm a lying slut anymore.
03:39Do you admit the baby's yours?
03:40Kate, it's been a hard night.
03:42I'm trying my best.
03:44What's the news, Doc?
03:45Well, the bleeding has stopped.
03:47So does that mean everything's OK?
03:49We'll do another scan shortly when things have settled down a bit.
03:51I'll know better then.
03:53But you said the bleeding's stopped.
03:55And the first scan, it was OK, yeah?
03:56Yes.
03:57But that doesn't necessarily mean there won't be a problem.
04:00Any bleeding gives us cause for concern.
04:03If there have been any complications,
04:04the second scan will pick it up.
04:05Oh, it's me.
04:31Yeah, I'm fine.
04:33Can we meet this morning?
04:35Well, how about you and refs?
04:39OK, cool.
04:40I'll see you then.
04:41Bye.
04:41Thank goodness, you're here.
04:53I was away overnight.
04:55I came back.
04:56And he was there, in the house.
04:58OK, love.
04:59I screamed.
05:01OK.
05:02Um, recognise this person?
05:04Uh, well, he had a hooded top on.
05:06Oh, I was so scared.
05:09OK.
05:10Where did you see him?
05:12He was running down the stairs as I opened the front door.
05:15And how long ago was that?
05:16Uh, about 20 minutes ago.
05:19Right, sorry, you stay there.
05:20OK.
05:38So you didn't touch anything in the house?
05:56No.
05:57It's OK, Mr. Stanley.
05:58We know it's a shock.
06:00Is he gone?
06:01He must have let through the patio of doors when you disturbed him.
06:03Downstairs toilet window is open, though.
06:06Maybe that's how he got in.
06:08I don't know how that could be.
06:10It's always locked.
06:11Are you sure about that?
06:13Absolutely.
06:14Would you like to come in?
06:15Don't touch anything, though.
06:16Not till we know where he's been.
06:18The crime scene examiners will be here later.
06:21Are you sure he's gone?
06:22He's gone, I'm sure.
06:23How's Kate?
06:29Do you know?
06:30Kate?
06:31Well, she was taken to hospital, wasn't she?
06:33When was this?
06:35Last night, they were worried about the baby.
06:37Sorry, I thought Phil might have mentioned something.
06:40Did he go to the hospital?
06:41Uh, yes, I think he did.
06:42Yes.
06:53There.
06:55There's your baby.
06:57Is everything all right?
06:59Doctor?
07:00Just one second.
07:04There.
07:08See the heartbeat?
07:09So there's no danger now?
07:11I think it's safe to say your baby's fine.
07:13We'll keep you in for a few more hours just for observation.
07:16Is that all right with you?
07:19Yeah.
07:20Yeah, that's fine, Doctor.
07:21And everything's OK, yeah?
07:23You can tell from this?
07:24Pretty much.
07:26It's incredible.
07:28Is it a little boy or a little girl?
07:29It's only 13 weeks.
07:31Too early to say at the moment.
07:33Now, I think Mum could do with a bit of a rest.
07:39I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time earlier.
07:43It's all right.
07:45Look, I'm going to find out what time you're being discharged,
07:47and I can come and pick you up and take you home.
07:48Is that OK?
07:49You don't need to do that.
07:51The baby's going to be OK, so there's no need to worry.
07:54It's OK.
07:54I want to.
07:55I want to help.
07:57So you do care about the baby?
07:59Look, you didn't think I was going to turn my back on you, did you?
08:02I saw you looking at the scan earlier.
08:04You know it's yours, don't you?
08:05Right, now, look, I'm going to get myself a cup of coffee.
08:15Now, don't forget, we're still on duty.
08:17I'll meet you back here.
08:18Yeah, all right, Reg.
08:19I just want to check up on her.
08:20So what are you doing here?
08:29I heard about Kate from Sam.
08:31Oh, OK, she's fine.
08:32Everything's under control.
08:34Turn up for the books, you being here.
08:35Yeah, well, I could say the same.
08:36Well, I thought she'd be on her own, knowing you.
08:39Last week, you couldn't give her monkeys about Kate or the baby.
08:41I reckon someone in the family should give her some support.
08:43Well, I was here all night.
08:45Oh, good for you.
08:46But I'm just going to have a quick word anyway.
08:48Anyway.
08:49She's resting.
08:50I wish you wanted to argue with the doctor.
08:52But just for the record, Kate and that baby are none of your business.
08:56Now, run along.
09:03On your way.
09:15Well, Ed, you've been to the hospital, I'm assuming.
09:30Yeah, I've been there all night.
09:32All night?
09:33I don't look so surprised.
09:35So, is she all right?
09:37Yeah, she's fine.
09:38It's no big deal.
09:39Are you all right?
09:40Yeah, I'm fine.
09:42It's just a bit weird, isn't it?
09:43I don't know if I'm the father or not.
09:47Well, I hope it turns out how you want it to.
09:54Yvonne, what's going on?
09:56The superintendent wants to see me.
09:58Oh.
09:59Well, I mean, the fact that he's called you in is a good thing.
10:02Maybe we did have some effect this morning.
10:04What happened this morning?
10:06Haven't you heard?
10:07We, uh, we told him we didn't think that you were getting the level of support that you deserved.
10:13Basically, the relief down tools.
10:15No kidding?
10:16Well, I mean, the feeling's been moving very high here.
10:19Especially now Tony Stamps ended up in hospital.
10:22Anyway, good luck.
10:23Let me know how it goes.
10:24Sergeant Ackland.
10:26Yes, sir.
10:27He's here, I mean, mate.
10:32Thanks for coming in, Yvonne.
10:34Take a seat.
10:37I know this has been a strain on you.
10:40Have the DPS been in touch?
10:42Yes.
10:42The news isn't all I hoped for, but I expect you to take it in a professional manner.
10:50Sir?
10:51I've done all I can, but the investigation is continuing.
10:56However, they have agreed that you can return.
10:59I can come back?
11:00Under certain restrictions, you'll be confined to non-operational duties.
11:06It's the best I can do.
11:08The choice is yours.
11:10Think carefully.
11:10A lot hangs on this decision.
11:14I presume you've been speaking to your colleagues?
11:16Yeah.
11:18Then you understand the situation.
11:20I cannot have the work of this station disrupted by what is a procedural matter.
11:27I'm counting on you to act professionally and diffuse this situation.
11:32If so, I understand.
11:35I'll come back.
11:37Good.
11:38Then you better get changed.
11:40And, Yvonne.
11:48I am behind you on this.
11:52Mr. Campbell, I'm PC Hollis.
12:01This is PC Hunter.
12:03When did this happen?
12:04I don't know exactly.
12:05One of my employees saw it when he came back to his car around midday.
12:08When did you leave your car, Mr. Campbell?
12:10About eight.
12:11I always park on this street.
12:12It's handy for the train to work.
12:14And you've no idea who might have done this.
12:15Someone with a grudge against you?
12:17No.
12:18But the same thing happened to one of my employees a few weeks ago.
12:21I'm wondering whether it's something to do with my company.
12:23Which is?
12:24It's Camatec on Waterman's Road.
12:27Why would someone have a grudge against your company?
12:29We make instruments for bioresearch labs.
12:31So, tree huggers, animal rights, you name it, we get them.
12:35Well, I'll look into it.
12:37Now, what about employees with a grudge?
12:39Anyone been fired recently?
12:40No.
12:41There again, it might have nothing to do with the business.
12:43Just vandalism.
12:45I thought it might be those kids mucking about.
12:47Kids?
12:48Yeah, a gang of them hang round here on bikes.
12:50I had a running with them a few days ago.
12:52Those kids are a nuisance.
12:54Always making a racket.
12:55Where are you when you're needed?
12:59What sort of a running?
13:01Silly, really.
13:01There was a young girl walking down the road.
13:03Short skirt, high heels.
13:05They were giving her a hard time.
13:06And you?
13:07Well, there's a difference between fun and harassment.
13:10That could have been my daughter.
13:12I told them to give it a rest.
13:13They started giving me back chat instead.
13:16Better me than her, I thought.
13:17And that was it, was it?
13:18Yeah.
13:19But they know this is your car?
13:21They saw me get out of it.
13:22All right, Mr Cameron.
13:23We'll have a word with local residents, see if anyone saw anything.
13:26Now, in the meantime, if you could let me have a description of the youth.
13:32Susie.
13:33Just had word of a burglary in Hoxley Gardens.
13:35It could be our one-man crime wave.
13:36Same M.O.
13:38Jewellery taken, no sign of forced entry.
13:39Now, I need some concentration on this.
13:41Our reduction rates have taken a bit of a hit recently,
13:43and this guy isn't helping, so I want him, all right?
13:46Whatever it takes.
13:47Gov, if we're talking about arranging witness IDs
13:49and interviews with previous victims, I could use some help.
13:52Okay.
13:53Gary, it's been another burglary.
13:56Susie's an investigating officer.
13:57I want you to assist, all right?
13:58So, here we are, pocket cop.
14:02Looks like it's you and me again.
14:10Thank you so much.
14:11I'll just take it to you.
14:12Okay.
14:13Lord.
14:13Mm, thanks.
14:20Now, the scene examiner confirms that it was the downstairs toilet window.
14:24It was the only one left unlocked.
14:26I don't understand.
14:27That window is always locked.
14:29He must have some device for unlocking windows.
14:32I don't think so, madam.
14:34You know, it's very easy to forget to lock a window.
14:36It gets hot, you open it, get distracted.
14:38I'm telling you, that window is never unlocked.
14:41I'm not lying, you know.
14:42I'm not saying that.
14:43It's just we're trying to find out every...
14:44Look, I just want my jewellery back.
14:47Look, I understand you're upset, love.
14:48Gary.
14:50I'll handle this.
14:51Mrs Denning, I was just wondering,
14:53are you certain no one's been in the house recently?
14:56Positive.
14:58No one I don't know, anyway.
14:59I don't let people into my house willy-nilly.
15:01Of course not.
15:02But someone, anyone at all,
15:05you found to be a bit out of the ordinary?
15:07Well...
15:08What?
15:09The young man came to read the gas meter.
15:13He had identification.
15:16But he did ask to use the toilet.
15:20I see.
15:21Could you give us his description?
15:22I don't know.
15:24White.
15:25Young-ish.
15:27Brown hair.
15:28Short.
15:30Tall.
15:32That's about it.
15:34You think you'll get him?
15:34Well, we've not got very much to go on, Mrs Denning,
15:37and it looks like a professional job.
15:39What do you mean?
15:40If a burglar's any good, you can't catch them.
15:42Gary.
15:43I said I'll handle this.
15:46Now, I want you to go and have a word with the neighbours
15:47and see if the meter reader's been round there.
15:49See...
15:49Now.
15:55I'm so sorry about that, Mrs Denning.
15:57Now.
15:58Well, we've checked it on Chris.
15:59There's actually been five cars done in the Renfrew Way
16:02in the past two months,
16:03but only two of them down to this Canatec firm,
16:06so I don't think it's a specific target.
16:08Sounds like we've got a problem, though.
16:09Oh, also, there's been complaints about three kids in the area.
16:12It might be them, it might not.
16:13OK.
16:13Well done, Reg.
16:14Who's dealing now?
16:15Oh, DS Hunter's here duty, too.
16:17This paint on the car on Renfrew Way?
16:20Yeah?
16:20Sounds like it might be a regular occurrence,
16:22so I think we should set an elbow up as soon as possible.
16:25Get some uniform, Reg.
16:26How are you fixed?
16:26Well, I've got to check the witness statements,
16:28see if any suspects have been identified.
16:30OK, well, I'll speak to Sergeant Ackland
16:31to clear it for PC Hunter to assist.
16:40Looks like it's me and you, then.
16:42Yeah.
16:42And?
16:45Thank you, PC Hunter.
16:51What's up with you?
16:53I've got to do an obo on that proxy criminal damage case.
16:56I mean, what is it with a DI at the moment?
16:58Well, every crime counts.
17:00Yeah, well, I could do without this.
17:02I'm supposed to be picking Kate up at four.
17:04I'm only going to be stuck in the nest.
17:06I never thought I'd see the day
17:08of Phil Hunter at the beck and call of a woman.
17:10No, I'm serious.
17:11I said I'd be there.
17:12I'll tell you what, if you're still on the obo at four,
17:15I'll come and take her over for you.
17:17Yeah?
17:19It's just going to be an hour.
17:20I'll go and pick her up and bring her back.
17:21That's it.
17:21It's really no problem.
17:24Thanks.
17:25It seems like a waste of time, this.
17:33Yeah, well, I'm not too happy being stuck here
17:35waiting for the phantom car, Vandaliva.
17:37Heard from Kate?
17:39Yes, I have.
17:39I'm picking her up at four.
17:41Now, go and make some tea.
17:42Mate, your own tea.
17:43I'm not your slave.
17:44No, but I am your senior officer,
17:47and you do well to remember that.
17:48Now, go and make some tea.
17:50Right.
17:50You can take this, then.
17:52Go on.
17:53Gary, those descriptions this morning were pretty useless,
18:01but I've rung the utility companies,
18:03and there hasn't been anyone taking meter readings
18:05for at least six months.
18:07OK, I've also got...
18:08I think it was established that he uses the gas man ploy
18:10to gain entry.
18:12I want you to check the MO on Chris
18:13and see if anybody with a similar description comes up, yeah?
18:16I've been looking at the pattern.
18:17Susie, you got a minute?
18:19I want an update.
18:19Yeah, sure.
18:20Uh, no, you keep looking for the suspect.
18:23It doesn't take both of us.
18:31Trouble in paradise again?
18:33No, just born a man, that's all.
18:36I beg your pardon?
18:37I'm getting sick and tired of being bossed about by her.
18:40Susie?
18:41Just because I can't sleep my way to the top.
18:44I think you've got a bun here.
18:46Well, how else do you explain it, eh?
18:48I'm the same rank as her.
18:49I get all the donkey work,
18:50and she gets to do whatever she wants.
18:52I tell you how.
18:53She's a good copper, and she's more experienced.
18:55Yeah, well, they seem pretty much in each other's pockets to me.
18:58Because they know each other from Stafford Row.
19:01Never ceases to amaze me
19:03how the minute a woman gets on,
19:04blokes assume she's using sex to do it.
19:07That's discrimination.
19:08No, I'm not saying that exactly...
19:09Do yourself a favour, Gary.
19:10Do you work off as well as she does?
19:13Then you can start complaining.
19:20I've got an idea, if you'd like to listen.
19:23OK, Gary.
19:24I'm all ears.
19:25Right, I've been plotting out all the burglars.
19:28Routes, times, locations.
19:29Well done, you.
19:30Give it a chance, will you?
19:33Now, look at the pattern on the map.
19:35There's two here, and then he moves west.
19:37Mill Street, two weeks later.
19:39West again, ten days later.
19:40Jamaica Lane and Mercy Street.
19:42The analysts have all this information, Gary.
19:44It's what they're paid for.
19:46I'll wait for the report, thanks.
19:47Yeah, but I think I'm on to something here.
19:50Now, I did some phoning round the past victims,
19:52and the time period's getting shorter
19:54from the guy pretending to read the meter
19:55so he can open a window and going back to burglars.
19:58So he's either getting cocky or desperate.
20:00And your point is what, exactly?
20:03Well, looking at the pattern on the map,
20:04I reckon he's going to hit somewhere west of Bacow Street,
20:07and soon we find out who's had the gas man round,
20:09set up an oboe, we're nicking doing one.
20:12Set up an oboe?
20:13For how long?
20:14We can't sit there like a couple of idiots
20:16for the next week, Gary.
20:17Get real.
20:18Seriously, I reckon he's going to hit in the next day,
20:20or two at the most.
20:21I think it's a better idea
20:22to wait for the analysts to do their job.
20:25You want to run to the DI without their backup?
20:28Be my guest.
20:29Yeah, well, I still think it's a good idea.
20:31And I think it's a waste of time.
20:33Now,
20:34one or two of the victims and witnesses
20:37mentioned a white van with a red bonnet.
20:40I want you to see whether there's any CCTV
20:42near that location that may have picked him up
20:44about the time of the offences, OK?
20:45Oh, and that's not a waste of time.
20:47No, it isn't.
20:49And I'm the investigating officer on this case, Gary.
20:52Remember that.
20:53Oh, hey, welcome back.
21:01All right.
21:02Tea in a row, please.
21:03You get it all clear?
21:04Not quite, no.
21:06Non-operational duties pending.
21:07CPS decision.
21:09Non-operational?
21:11Desk bound.
21:13Nice to see you back there, wasn't it?
21:15Yeah, for how long?
21:16No, Reg is right.
21:17They wouldn't have you back at all
21:18if they thought this investigation was going anywhere.
21:20You think so?
21:21Yeah, and sitting behind a desk,
21:22keeping your feet up.
21:23Can't be that bad.
21:24I don't know.
21:24I'd rather be out there.
21:25Swap.
21:28All right, Yvonne.
21:29I heard you was non-operational.
21:30Yeah, that's right.
21:31Ridiculous.
21:32Waste the time, haven't you,
21:33sat behind the desk,
21:34when you should be out there.
21:35Yeah, that's what I think.
21:36What?
21:36As you're not doing anything else,
21:37I've got this pile of CCTV
21:39that I really need a hell of a gun through.
21:41That'll be back in a bit.
21:43Sarge,
21:44would it be all right
21:44if P.C. Hemingway
21:45assisted me with some research
21:46on this prolific burglar
21:48we're trying to ID?
21:48Yeah, as long as it doesn't take all day.
21:53I've only got a couple of minutes, baby,
21:55but I can get away tonight, though.
21:56No way, though.
21:57I've got a note.
21:58What?
22:00Whoever sent it,
22:01it's in the job.
22:02It was in an internal envelope.
22:07Were you sure?
22:08I mean, who could know?
22:10Well, if it's a copper,
22:11they're going to know
22:12that your husband was my super
22:13at Spicer Street.
22:14Yeah, and if they know me,
22:15they'll realise
22:16I won't be threatened
22:16by some spying us gossip.
22:18What if they tell Ian?
22:18I'll deny it.
22:19What proof have they got?
22:22Look,
22:22maybe we're overreacting here.
22:25Maybe someone just saw us talking once
22:26and thought they'd have a bit of a laugh.
22:28I don't think it's funny.
22:31Um,
22:31I've got a meeting now,
22:32but I'll talk to you later, yeah?
22:33You've got another hour yet
22:52before you skive off?
22:53I'm picking Kate up.
22:55Oh, yeah, that's right.
22:56I forgot.
22:57This ain't Phil now, isn't it?
22:58Listen, I've had about enough of this.
22:59You've had enough?
23:00I've got you for a brother.
23:01That'll be enough for anyone.
23:02Are you jealous?
23:04Why don't you just come out and say it?
23:06Jealous of what?
23:07I don't know.
23:07You've been on at me all morning
23:08since the hospital.
23:10You've got a little thing for Kate, maybe?
23:11No, I haven't.
23:12The problem is, Phil,
23:13you think you can walk in and out of people's lives.
23:15You did it with me and Mum
23:16and you'll do exactly the same
23:17with Kate and the baby.
23:18You've got no idea
23:19what you're talking about.
23:20I know you.
23:21And the only thing you ever did for me
23:22was let me down.
23:23Oh, right.
23:24Blame me for all your troubles.
23:26It's pathetic.
23:29Oh, well, that's just brilliant.
23:32That was Cad.
23:34Mm-hmm.
23:35I've just had a call from Uniform.
23:37There's been another burglary
23:38on guess where?
23:39Backhouse Street.
23:40Can I call you back?
23:42Thanks.
23:42Gary, is this a wind-up?
23:44No, it just came in.
23:45And Uniform reckon
23:46it's the same MO as the one this morning.
23:48Now, what are the chances
23:49of that being the same guy, eh?
23:51What did I say?
23:52If we'd have been there...
23:53We wouldn't have had time
23:54to set up an obbo anyway.
23:55Oh, that's right.
23:56Wriggle out of it.
23:57Gary.
23:57Gary, I have nothing to wriggle out of.
24:01I made the right decision.
24:03Yeah?
24:03Well, you won't mind me
24:04go and tell him the DI
24:05that we could have had the guy this morning
24:07if you'd have listened to me.
24:08Go and tell him what you like, Gary.
24:09Just remember, I told you
24:11to feel free to tell him your idea.
24:12You didn't.
24:14And one more thing, Gary.
24:15Don't ever even think
24:17of trying to drop me in it.
24:19Understand?
24:20Back off.
24:21I'm honestly...
24:21I mean it, Gary.
24:23I'm the I.O. on this investigation.
24:25If you have a problem with that,
24:27you can be replaced very easily.
24:29So I get no say in this?
24:32Not unless you come up with some bright ideas
24:34that I can actually use.
24:36No.
24:36Well, maybe I will.
24:37And this time,
24:38I'm going to prove you wrong.
24:40Whatever, Gary.
24:41What sort of mummy's boy
24:45did you turn into up north?
24:47I was there for Mum.
24:48I supported her.
24:49I was the one who stood in front of Dad
24:50when he raised his fists.
24:52Where were you, Phil?
24:53Walking away from the mess.
24:54Just like him.
24:55Nothing like him.
24:56This concern for Kate
24:57doesn't fool me.
24:58You haven't got the balls
24:58to see it through.
24:59And you don't fool me.
25:00All this mouth and I
25:01just get you jealous.
25:02Is that the reason you came to Sun Hill?
25:04See if you could measure up?
25:05Well, you don't.
25:06The reason I'm worried
25:07is because of that kid.
25:08Because he's going to grow up
25:09this selfish git for her father.
25:11You're a user, Phil.
25:11And you always will be.
25:13You're a tender sex, Alex Klenny.
25:14And you end up using
25:15the very people who are there
25:16for help.
25:16You know what?
25:17I hope this kid's not yours.
25:18I really do.
25:20Phil!
25:20Phil!
25:41What the hell do you two think
25:42you're paying her?
25:44Well?
25:46Nothing.
25:49Well, it didn't look like nothing.
25:52Are you all right, Steve?
25:53Take more than that, Phil.
25:55That's enough.
25:56Okay, you just go.
25:58You should be at the hospital,
25:58shouldn't you?
26:00Yeah, bye.
26:00I don't want to hear about it, Phil.
26:03It's none of my business.
26:04Just go.
26:04In the meantime,
26:10we're supposed to be on an oboe,
26:11so...
26:11The guys are...
26:12Not a word out of you.
26:18Reg, have you got a second?
26:20Oh, there's a go.
26:21You know all this prolific burglary
26:22me and Susie are working on?
26:24Oh, yeah, a bit of a thorn
26:24in the D.I. side.
26:25Yeah, I'm looking for an angle
26:27and I'm thinking
26:28the guy always takes jewellery,
26:29sometimes other stuff as well,
26:31but always jewellery, right?
26:32Yeah, well, of course,
26:32it's easier to get rid of, isn't it?
26:33And it's lighter than a calotiva.
26:35Well, yeah, but there can't be
26:36that many handlers
26:36who specialise in just jewellery
26:38and that's who this guy
26:39would need, yeah?
26:40So I'm thinking
26:40if we find the handler,
26:41that might lead us
26:42back to the burglar.
26:43Well, that would make sense.
26:44So, who would you say
26:46qualified round here?
26:47Well, straight off the bat,
26:48call Matt Delaney.
26:49He used to be the biggest
26:50in Sun Hill.
26:51Used to be?
26:52Yeah, he moved to Spain
26:53a couple of years ago.
26:54Then there's Monty Barlow.
26:55Oh, no, he died.
26:56Reg.
26:57Well, that just leaves
26:58Johnny McGill.
26:59Johnny McGill?
27:00Have you got an address?
27:02Well, he lives
27:02on the Peel Green Estate.
27:03Reg, I could kiss you.
27:09Long shot.
27:10I know, but this van
27:11matches a couple
27:12of witnesses' descriptions
27:13and it was seen
27:14on Jamaica Lane
27:15and Mercy Street
27:15where two of the
27:16burglaries took place.
27:17Do a PNC on it,
27:19but it probably
27:19won't bring anything up.
27:20I think I've got something,
27:21Susie.
27:22Look, I figure
27:23that we're looking
27:23at this from the wrong angle.
27:25You do?
27:26This guy's pretty specific
27:27on nicking jewellery, right?
27:28So he has to get rid
27:29of it somewhere.
27:30Yeah, so?
27:31Well, so there's only
27:32one fence in the area
27:33who can handle that.
27:34We pay him a visit.
27:35Oh, and he's just
27:35going to cough up
27:36a name like this, is he?
27:37With a bit of pressure, yeah.
27:38Oh, God, Gary,
27:39I've got enough problems
27:40with that.
27:41No, listen, look,
27:42we've got a list
27:43of the stolen property, right?
27:44So we set up a sting.
27:45We pretend we're buyers.
27:47If he shows us
27:47any of the bank gear,
27:48we nick him.
27:50You know this handler?
27:51Of him, yeah.
27:52It still sounds far-fetched.
27:54I mean, what makes you think
27:55he's going to just
27:56sell you his bank gear
27:57and then tell you
27:58the name of his supplier?
27:59It doesn't make...
27:59Don't again,
28:00because I suggested it,
28:01it's a bad idea.
28:02No, Gary, it's not.
28:04I just don't want
28:05to run the risk
28:06of a half-baked,
28:07rushed, undercover operation
28:09where someone
28:09might get hurt.
28:10Yeah, and that'd be me.
28:11Now, in about four hours,
28:13the DI's going to look
28:13at the daily crime bulletin, right?
28:15He's going to notice
28:16that burglary
28:16on Bacow Street
28:17and start asking questions.
28:19Now, I'm not saying
28:19it's anyone's fault,
28:20but it doesn't look good,
28:21does it?
28:24You really think
28:25you can get him
28:25to sell to you?
28:26A complete stranger?
28:28It has to be worth
28:28a shot at least.
28:30Have you got anything else?
28:30Come on, Susie,
28:34it's all we've got.
28:42Could be something.
28:44Those three down there.
28:48They match the description
28:49Mr Campbell gave us
28:50this morning.
28:50Do you want to go down
28:51and check them out?
28:52OK, Sush.
28:53Is everything all right, Steve?
29:10Yeah, everything I can't handle.
29:11You're not going to believe this.
29:29Excuse me.
29:31Excuse me, madam.
29:33Please.
29:34Please leave them
29:34to the S-Nixon, Sunil.
29:36I think we need to take
29:37look at this bag, don't you?
29:37I think you'd better
29:41come with us.
29:43There's a couple of
29:44distinctive engagement rings
29:45on the list of profits
29:46stolen by the burglar.
29:48I'll go for them.
29:49Chances are he's just going
29:50to slam the door
29:50in your face anyway.
29:51I've worked this patch.
29:53I know the people.
29:53I know what makes them tick.
29:55Well, I hope you realise
29:56if this goes pear-shaped,
29:57you and I are both
29:57up the creek.
29:59Can you wait here
30:00where you can see
30:00the front door, yeah?
30:01And when I come out,
30:02I'll take my mobile
30:02out of my pocket.
30:03That's the signal
30:04that the deal's been done.
30:07Yeah?
30:14All right, mate.
30:15Johnny, innit?
30:16Who are you?
30:17Gary.
30:18Gary Jacobs.
30:18I'm a mate of Cormac Delaney's.
30:20I'm looking for a
30:21special something.
30:23You what?
30:23I'm in a bit of a jam.
30:25Cormac said I should try you.
30:26I don't know any Cormac.
30:28Well, he knows you.
30:29Oh, come on, Johnny.
30:30I've always used him,
30:30but he's moved out
30:31to Poxy, Spain.
30:32I've got money.
30:33Look, I don't know you.
30:34I don't want your money.
30:36Get off my doorstep.
30:37Well, give Cormac a ring
30:38then.
30:38He'll vouch for me.
30:39What's your tight spot
30:40got to do with me?
30:41I've got to engage, see.
30:43Congratulations.
30:43Get to the point.
30:45The ring I got me girl
30:46was snide.
30:47You bought the girl
30:47a fake ring?
30:48I had the money,
30:49but I lost it down the bucket.
30:51Turns out her uncle's
30:52only a jeweller, innit?
30:53He'll take one look at it,
30:54realise it's a piece
30:55of cheap tax.
30:55She'll go ballistic, man.
30:56What do you want me to do?
30:58Well, like I said,
30:59Cormac said you might
30:59be able to help me out.
31:01I want an engagement ring,
31:02you know, quality,
31:03maybe a few diamonds
31:04in there.
31:05I've managed to scrape
31:06a few hundred together.
31:09I'll do us a favour, mate.
31:10You know how it is.
31:12OK.
31:13Come here.
31:21Turn around.
31:22What?
31:23Turn around, face the wall.
31:24Put your hands on.
31:26Can't be too careful.
31:27You might be a cop
31:28or a very stupid robber.
31:30You're clean.
31:32Of course I am.
31:32See anything you like?
31:47Proper job, that one.
31:49Retail's at one and a half grand.
31:52Got two hundred quid on me.
31:54Then he can go somewhere else,
31:55can't he?
31:55Don't waste my time.
31:59All right, all right, look.
32:00Three-fifty,
32:02but that's me top whack, honest.
32:04Please, mate.
32:07OK.
32:08As a mate, a Cormac's.
32:10It's a deal.
32:12You have saved my bacon, mate.
32:14And you don't know how much.
32:18Cheers, mate.
32:19I'll phone her now
32:19and tell her the good news.
32:20It's a cracking ring,
32:21that she's going to be well chuffed.
32:22Yeah, next time,
32:23make an appointment, though.
32:24You only just got me in.
32:25I don't know what I'd have done
32:26if it hadn't been for you, mate.
32:27I would have been in deep, deep.
32:29DC Simson Hill.
32:30What's going on?
32:31Johnny McGill.
32:32I'm arresting you
32:32in suspicion of handling stolen goods.
32:34You do not have to say anything,
32:35but it may harm your defence
32:36if you do not mention your question,
32:37something which you later rely on in court.
32:39I don't understand, Mrs Coley.
32:43You've caused thousands of pounds
32:44worth of damage.
32:45That much?
32:47You've no previous record
32:48of, well, anything.
32:50What is this about?
32:52I'd just add enough.
32:55No consideration, you see.
32:57Sorry?
33:00I'm not a great walker.
33:02It's my hip.
33:03And?
33:05Sometimes I can't even park
33:07in my own street,
33:09never mind near my house.
33:11It's disgraceful.
33:12So this is about parking?
33:14Yes.
33:15They come in from all over,
33:18dump their cars
33:19and get on the train
33:20or go to the shops.
33:22Leave them there all day.
33:24Where do they think we park?
33:26The people that
33:27actually live there.
33:29So you thought you'd
33:30take matters into your own hands
33:31and scare them off?
33:33Well, I've tried everything else.
33:35Oh, look, I've left something
33:46in my locker.
33:47You go on, I'll catch up.
33:48Thank you, David.
33:53Well, I've been thinking
33:54about that now.
33:55Maybe it was just someone
33:56having a laugh.
33:56Look, I know what I said earlier,
33:58but I was wrong.
33:59It's not just my happiness
34:01that's at stake here.
34:02I've got to think about my son
34:04and the effect
34:05it would have on him
34:05if Ian found out about you.
34:08So what, are you telling
34:08me the truth?
34:09I owe him that at least.
34:11What are you saying?
34:12It's over.
34:13I just think that we need
34:14to cool off for a bit
34:15until this dies down,
34:17whatever it is.
34:18Cool off?
34:19Just not see each other
34:20for a little while.
34:22What?
34:22Like weeks, months, what?
34:23I don't know.
34:26I'm sorry.
34:28But what else can we do?
34:32You had over 20 grand
34:37of stolen jewellery
34:38in your flat.
34:39We know most of it
34:40came from recent burglars
34:41in the area.
34:44No comment.
34:45Well, who did it come from?
34:47We know you didn't nick it.
34:50No comment.
34:53Look, we're going to get the guy.
34:54That's just a matter of time,
34:55so there's no point
34:56you sat there protecting him.
34:57You could be doing yourself
34:58a favour here.
34:59Like what?
35:00A name and address,
35:01Johnny.
35:02That's all.
35:03What, you want to do a deal?
35:05Well, there's no deals,
35:06but if you cooperate,
35:07you'll get a letter to that effect,
35:08and what the judge does with it
35:09then is up to him.
35:10What, and that's it?
35:11That's all you've got.
35:13But it could get you out of jail
35:14a hell of a lot quicker.
35:16No comeback on me, right?
35:18They can't know I grasped on them.
35:20Name and address, Johnny.
35:21The guy's name's Jason.
35:28That's all I know.
35:31Great, Johnny.
35:32See you in a few years, yeah?
35:35No, wait.
35:38He's supposed to be doing
35:39another job today.
35:41I'm meeting him in an hour.
35:44Where?
35:45My place.
35:46And you give us a description?
36:00Parking rage.
36:01Well, that's a first.
36:02Well, it takes all sorts.
36:04Oh, you can do the case papers.
36:06Oh, cheers, Sarge.
36:06Are you all right, Tyson?
36:16So I hear you caught the car vandal?
36:19Yes.
36:2070-year-old parking vigilante.
36:23Look, I just wanted to apologise for earlier.
36:25It isn't me you need to apologise to, Phil.
36:28Yeah, well.
36:30You really lost it.
36:32Yeah, I know.
36:33I just flipped.
36:33But he's been having a bigamy constantly.
36:38What's all this about a sex addict clinic?
36:41You heard about that?
36:43Mm-hm.
36:48Well, if you must know, I did it for you.
36:52For me?
36:53Yeah.
36:54Before you so rudely decided
36:56to give me an ego bashing,
36:58it might surprise you to know
36:59that I am actually quite self-aware.
37:00I know I have problems
37:03with the way I deal with women,
37:04but I've been trying to sort myself out.
37:06Mm.
37:09Thanks very much.
37:10Cheers.
37:11I'm sorry.
37:14Oh, come on.
37:15You have to admit, it is ironic.
37:17You go to a...
37:19sex addict clinic,
37:22and you end up bonking one of the clients
37:23and making her pregnant.
37:26Only you, Phil Hunter.
37:27Do you know, everything you do
37:30makes my life seem like a breeze.
37:34Well, you know me.
37:36I'm just keen to please.
37:37I want our man Jason picked up
37:56as soon as you're clear it's him, yes?
37:59Why can't we just write in
38:00till he rings the doorbell?
38:01That way we'll be certain.
38:02We want this to look like a random stop,
38:05so the less attention we draw to it,
38:07the better.
38:08I'm hoping for a little bit more information
38:09out of Mr McGill,
38:10so let's do this right.
38:12I have a seat.
38:154.30, you said.
38:17Gary, will you just calm down?
38:19You're behaving like a five-year-old.
38:20Will you stop treating me like I'm an imbecile?
38:23What are you talking about?
38:23Even after I set this up,
38:25you're still having a go at me.
38:26It's not on.
38:28Gary, I'm not having a go.
38:30It's called banter.
38:32All the new guys get it.
38:33I got it.
38:34Yeah, well, I'm not a new guy.
38:35I've been here almost a year
38:36and it doesn't feel like banter.
38:38I don't appreciate it.
38:39Yeah, fine, sorry.
38:40I didn't mean anything by it.
38:42Right, well, it stops now, yeah?
38:43Clean slate.
38:45Whatever.
38:50That's him.
38:50Dan, Amber, get ready.
38:56Here he comes.
38:58Okay, moving now.
38:59All right, sir.
39:12Afternoon, sir.
39:13Sorry to bother you, huh?
39:15We've had a report of a burglar in the area
39:16and you resemble a description we've heard.
39:19Oi!
39:20I'll get it.
39:26No, wait.
39:34Nice one.
39:39That should keep the DI happy.
39:41Fourteen offences taken into consideration.
39:43The detection rate's going north rapidly.
39:45Listen, Gary, are you all right to write up the case papers
39:51and check down our numbers?
39:52No.
39:52Oh, come on.
39:53Look, I thought we'd discuss this.
39:54No more donkey work.
39:56Gary, you were the guy with the plan.
39:59I think the details should come from you.
40:00I suppose you're right.
40:05Don't worry.
40:05I'm having a drink with the DI.
40:07I'll make sure he knows these arrests were down to you.
40:09Yeah?
40:10It's what happened, Gary.
40:11You did a great job.
40:13Seriously.
40:15Credit words to you.
40:16See you tomorrow.
40:17Cheers, Susie.
40:24Oh.
40:26Neil.
40:27Hi.
40:28Sorry I'm late.
40:29It's all right.
40:30You started without me.
40:31Well, I've had a couple.
40:33What, do you want a vodka and a tonic?
40:34Yeah.
40:34Sure.
40:34So, a good arrest today, Susie.
40:38I know.
40:39And he's putting his hand up to 14 other offences.
40:41But, you know, it really was a team effort.
40:43I tell you what, let's talk about it tomorrow.
40:44It's enough of our work for now.
40:48So, I just want to relax.
40:50Okay.
40:52Shall we sit?
40:53Okay.
41:04You okay?
41:07Who, me?
41:08Yes, you.
41:10Not wanting to talk about work?
41:12You've only been eating, sleeping and breathing it lately.
41:17Yeah, well.
41:20Something wrong.
41:22You were the first in this morning, and now you're staying late for a drink, Neil.
41:29No, that's nothing much.
41:30Things are just a bit difficult.
41:34Life was a lot more simple when we were at Stafford Rowe, wasn't it?
41:40Yes.
41:41Now it's like a vicious circle, you know?
41:47The worse my marriage gets, the harder I work, the harder I work.
41:53Still, at least by being there, I get to see Jake every day.
42:00That bad.
42:02That bad.
42:04Well, marriages go through rocky patches sometimes.
42:09I had enough fun.
42:15Maybe you'll both be able to put it behind you in time.
42:18Well, that's just it.
42:22Maybe I don't want to give it time.
42:23I'm going to get dressed.
42:41What are you still doing here?
42:43Case papers.
42:44While Susie's over at the pub?
42:46She saw you coming, mate.
42:47No, she's putting in a good word for me with her D.I. about this arrest today, so at least I can do.
42:52Is she really?
42:53Well, I'm sure you're right.
42:55See you tomorrow.
42:56Is the affair over?
43:17Is that what's giving you all these doubts?
43:20Oh, it's over.
43:21She's dead.
43:24I'm sorry.
43:27She was a police officer.
43:33She died in the sun, her explosion.
43:35Andrea?
43:36Was it Andrea?
43:37Oh, God, Neil.
43:43I don't know what to say.
43:45You must have been through hell.
43:46I can't believe you've held things together like you have.
43:54Andrea's gone, I know that.
43:55Of course.
43:57But whatever we had changed me.
44:01And I don't know if I can settle for something that just isn't working anymore.
44:04Only you can answer that.
44:08I can't go back to how it was.
44:11You know, Philippa and I, we don't even share a bed anymore.
44:14That's what she wants.
44:20I can understand why you don't want to go home.
44:27I don't know what to do.
44:28You know, we do this damn job, and we put up with all this crap, and at the end of the day, if you feel that no one cares about you...
44:38Hey!
44:39I care about you.
44:41You've been nothing but a good friend to me.
44:44You've helped me through some really rough times at Stafford Row.
44:47I don't forget.
44:50Thanks.
44:51Oh, I've just got to find a way of dealing with this.
44:56Listen to me.
44:58Whenever you need anyone to talk to, you come straight to me.
45:05Okay?
45:06Okay.
45:08Come here.
45:09Come here.
45:09Next time, on The Bill.
45:28If any harm comes to my son, I might start blabbing about your unsavoury past.
45:33I'm not going to let some jumped-up little glory-seeker like you walk all over me.
45:37He trusts me.
45:39Or at least he did before you blew it!
45:41I'll be here.
45:43All right.
