00:00Previously on The Bill
00:04Don't ever even think of trying to drop me in it, understand?
00:30Electrical goods are stored here overnight, then distributed during the day.
00:40According to the manager, 2,000 state-of-the-art laptop computers are missing.
00:45Estimated street value, 40,000 quid.
00:48Nice.
00:49No sign of course entry.
00:51Someone obviously knew the access code to the metal shuttle.
00:53Inside job.
00:55Seems quite straightforward at first.
00:57Until that's all it is.
00:58It's not that we're disturbed.
01:00According to the manager, nobody else was in the building.
01:02Safe from the industrial state CCTV camera.
01:05Sierra 84, Sierra Oscar.
01:07Go ahead.
01:08Can you attend a fest at Whitson Road off-licensed due suspect to be camped with alcohol?
01:12One way.
01:13See you later.
01:14So what have we got?
01:16Looks like it was some sort of fight.
01:18Blood marks here and here.
01:21But this is where it started.
01:23There's blood all over the glass.
01:24That's the first cut.
01:26There's blood, but no obvious spatter mark.
01:27This is the second sight.
01:30Looks like there was a struggle.
01:32Droplets of blood have been trodden through.
01:34And the descending arc suggests the victim was repeatedly beaten as they fell to the ground.
01:39How do you know all this?
01:41I took an interest in forensics when I was in the robbery squad.
01:45What happened next?
01:46Well, then it all gets a bit confusing.
01:49Well, what else can you see?
01:50One of them was wearing steel-capped boots.
01:55Had a slight limp.
01:58Probably an old football injury.
02:01Cartilage damage to the left, need you?
02:03Oh, yeah.
02:04Very funny, John.
02:05Come on, Gary.
02:05Lighten up.
02:07The first bit's true.
02:09Let's get forensics down.
02:10Shouldn't be a problem obtaining DNA.
02:16Sick of not being taken seriously.
02:18I mean, take yesterday's burglary investigation, for example.
02:21I get the impression that the DI thinks the arrest rolled down to DC's sin.
02:24What do you expect?
02:26You were daft enough to finish the paperwork while she talked herself up at the pub.
02:30That's not the half of it.
02:31Pardon?
02:32Nothing.
02:33I just thought that she would have done the decent thing, you know, told him about my part in the arrest.
02:37Well, if you thought that, then you're more gullible than I realised.
02:41Come here!
02:59Get out of the way!
03:02Come here!
03:05And two sides.
03:11Turn around.
03:12Don't move.
03:16One bottle of vodka.
03:18That's the first smart thing you've done all day.
03:21Yeah, you reckon?
03:23Name?
03:26Siobhan.
03:30McHale.
03:31Four cans of lager.
03:33And the shopping list.
03:35Where did you get this lot from?
03:37Did you steal them from the off-license on Whitson Road?
03:41You may as well come clean.
03:43You've had a report of two youths fitting your description, running away from the off-license.
03:48What's your name?
03:50Liam.
03:51Liam what?
03:52Liam Bryan.
03:53What's your address, Liam?
03:5532 Jessop Street.
03:56Jessop Street?
03:58Are you in a relation to Laura, Bryan?
04:00Yeah, she's my mum.
04:01Does that mean we can go now?
04:03Well, that's how it works, isn't it?
04:05You lot look after your own.
04:07This one's Siobhan McHale.
04:08They have herself up as soon as her boyfriend was caught.
04:11He's not my boyfriend.
04:13We're just mates.
04:14Oh, really?
04:15Seemed like a regular Bonnie and Clyde to me, wouldn't you say, PC Kent?
04:18I just wonder what your mum's going to say when she finds out what you've been up to.
04:21Gary, I read your case papers for yesterday's burglary.
04:39Thanks for doing them.
04:39I'll pass them on to the DI, OK?
04:41You must think I'm a right mug.
04:44Sorry?
04:45I went to the pub last night.
04:47Saw you with DI Manson.
04:49So what?
04:50You and the DI were playing tonsil tennis.
04:53You don't know what you're talking about.
04:55If I hadn't made that connection to McGill yesterday, we never would have arrested that burglar.
05:01Gary, I had every intention of telling the DI about your part in the arrests.
05:07But something else came up.
05:08Truth is, we didn't even talk about work last night.
05:10I know you were too busy trying to further your career.
05:13Now you're being pathetic.
05:15Yeah, you reckon?
05:15You know, Gary, you can be extremely small-minded at times.
05:22Nice to see you and Susie have made up.
05:26What have we got on this security tape?
05:28A masked man enters the warehouse around 5.30 this morning, but I can't get an index on this van.
05:34And who's that in the green Peugeot?
05:36What?
05:36Short, balding, mid-40s.
05:38You know, Gary, maybe you should sort it out with Susie.
05:42Then you might be able to keep your mind on the job.
05:44Run the tape on a bit.
05:53There goes 2,000 laptops.
05:56Oh, hello, he looks a bit groggy.
05:58Given the blood at the scene, maybe they had the disagreement.
06:01See if he can get the card index.
06:03It's our only lead.
06:04It's got nothing to do with Siobhan.
06:08You still look all this up on your own?
06:11She was with you.
06:12That makes her an accomplice.
06:13I don't think you need a right to hurt her.
06:16I'll catch her up, Roger.
06:17OK.
06:20What are you talking about?
06:21Your PC Ken.
06:22I know what you did to that, Nods.
06:24They gave me good kicking.
06:25They said they'd get things done.
06:27Is that right?
06:27What else is your mother being saying about me?
06:31Oi.
06:33What the hell's going on?
06:36The vehicle's registered to a Mrs Gaynor bliss.
06:41Oh, Joe, look at that.
06:45Police?
06:46Anyone there?
06:49Hello?
06:50Hello?
06:56Hello?
07:11Yeah, ambulance, please, for 42, Bardwell Road.
07:15You OK, sir?
07:16DC Masters, DC Best, Sun Hill.
07:18What's your name?
07:21Lewis.
07:23Bliss.
07:24Any relation to Gaynor, Bliss?
07:26She's my wife.
07:28Where's your wife now?
07:30I've gone away on business for a few days.
07:34Ambulance is on its way.
07:36Can you tell us your whereabouts at 5.30 this morning?
07:41We have reason to believe you're at Nell's distribution.
07:44A man matching your description was spotted on CCTV camera
07:48driving your wife's car away.
07:50I don't feel very well.
07:51I think I'm going to throw her.
07:58Several witnesses saw him and Cheval McHale
08:00stealing alcohol from an off-licence in Whitson Road.
08:03Is she nothing but trouble, eh?
08:04We'll be interviewed with her in a minute.
08:06Then we'll be talking to Liam.
08:08What exactly did you see him do?
08:10He was running through the park.
08:11The stolen goods were in a school bag.
08:13I arrested him.
08:14Is that all right?
08:16Well, it depends on what you plan to do next.
08:19I know all about your kind of justice, remember?
08:21Don't worry, Laura.
08:23I'll take care of him.
08:24I promise.
08:25Oh, I know you will.
08:27You're going to play this by the book.
08:29Because if any harm comes to my son,
08:32I might start blabbing about your unsavoury past.
08:36And so what?
08:36If a bit of dirt sticks to me?
08:39It'll be enough to finish you off.
08:41We've just spoken to Siobhan
08:59and she reckons it was her brainwave
09:01to steal the alcohol.
09:03How come everyone's so keen to take the blame?
09:06She's lying.
09:08I wrote Siobhan into it.
09:09I heard some lads' brain about how easy it was.
09:12Said that I only was old and half deaf.
09:15I'm showing the suspect exhibit GK2.
09:19It's a list of drinks matching those
09:21with crystalline from the off-licence.
09:23Where did you get the list, Liam?
09:26I wrote it myself.
09:29This is your English book.
09:33Check out the handwriting.
09:34You don't need a degree in calligraphy
09:36to tell it doesn't match.
09:37It doesn't match Siobhan's handwriting.
09:40Look, if you do know something,
09:41you'd better open your mouth.
09:43I found out the floor.
09:45So you decided to steal the exact same things.
09:48That doesn't make sense.
09:50Liam, we can't help unless you tell us the truth.
09:52I've told you the truth.
09:53It's my fault.
09:55Why don't you believe me?
09:56What have we got on Lewis's absent wife?
10:04Gain of bliss.
10:05No previous, no outstanding warrants,
10:07but there was something.
10:08Her and Lewis run a computer consultancy business.
10:11They had a contract with Nell's distribution.
10:13What would be a better way of getting inside information?
10:16While sorting out the software problems,
10:18they can be checking out security arrangements.
10:21Try and get a list of all the recent contracts
10:23undertaken by the business.
10:25See if any of those companies have reported burglary.
10:28Where are you off?
10:28I'm off to see what forensics have managed to dig up.
10:30If you see Liam getting into any more trouble,
10:36you come to me, OK?
10:37Yeah.
10:38Go on.
10:39Your mum's waiting.
10:41Come on, baby.
10:42You know, I reckon they're holding something back.
10:45I could see it in Liam's eyes.
10:47He's frightened of something.
10:48He's frightened of getting a good hiding from his mother.
10:51Maybe.
10:52I agree the lad's not been forthcoming,
10:54but there's better things we could be spending our time on.
10:56Kids need booze all the time.
10:58It's hardly a crime of the century.
10:59I remember skipping double maths
11:01in favour of getting legless on a mate's homebrew.
11:04It's a rite of passage.
11:05There's more to it than that.
11:07Call it NSYNC's.
11:08The kids have got problems at school.
11:09It's up to the mother to sort it out.
11:11Oh, don't worry.
11:11I will.
11:12On that note...
11:15What's going to happen now?
11:17I've managed to talk the off-licence out of prosecuting.
11:20Liam's free to go.
11:22Where's Siobhan?
11:23My mum picked her up.
11:24Took her back to school.
11:25Which is where you should be now.
11:26I'll see if I can drop you off.
11:27No, I can make my way back.
11:28Mum, please.
11:29Wait for me outside.
11:30I want a quick word with PC Kent.
11:36So what's going to happen to her, Siobhan McTrouble?
11:38It's obviously she's the one who's been pulling out Liam's strings.
11:41You know that for certain, do you?
11:42Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
11:43Only to her mother.
11:45Look, I'm not saying you're wrong about Siobhan.
11:47Well, but it might be best if you kept an open mind about it.
11:51Go on.
11:52What's the real reason you're doing this?
11:54And don't say it's not the goodness of your heart.
11:56You'd have to find it first.
11:58You know your problem?
11:59You're too cynical.
12:04Sir.
12:06June.
12:07Sir.
12:07I've checked the duty, Rota.
12:09I thought I'd join you on patrol.
12:11Right.
12:12Considering the investigation into PC Hemingway, and given the impact that it had on the uniform relief,
12:18I thought it would be a good idea to show a bit of solidarity.
12:20Hello, Mr Bliss.
12:27Feeling any better?
12:28How did you sustain your injuries, Mr Bliss?
12:33You run a computer consultancy business with your wife, Gaynor, is that right?
12:38That's right.
12:38You have a maintenance contract with Nell's Distribution on Canley Industrial Estate.
12:42You look after their software.
12:43Blood was found at Nell's Distribution.
12:45Now, we think that the blood could be connected to a burglary there.
12:48Now, what are the odds of your blood matching the blood at the crime scene?
12:50No, come in.
12:51You do realise that if that is the case, you're pretty well stuffed.
12:56I'd have thought the sensible thing to do would be to start talking.
13:02We found some business statements in the boot of your wife's car.
13:06They make for grim reading.
13:09Your company's been making a loss for the last three years, haven't they?
13:12No wonder you were looking for ways to supplement your income.
13:16But who was driving the red van?
13:18Was that your accomplice?
13:21No comment.
13:22Very well.
13:23Lewis Bliss, I'm arresting you on suspicion of burglary.
13:26You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention one question,
13:30something which you later rely on in court.
13:32Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
13:35Do you understand, sir?
13:36What's up?
13:50Nothing.
13:50Just thought I recognised somewhere.
13:52You're that bloke with the newspaper?
13:53Yeah, it's nobody.
13:54Just a case of deja vu.
13:55Gary, you head back to the station.
13:59And what are you going to do?
14:00Nothing.
14:00I just need to check something out.
14:02Fill you in later.
14:07Hey, get up!
14:08Oi!
14:08All right, do you invent a statement?
14:14Liam, you OK?
14:16You want to tell me how he got in there?
14:19He, uh, climbed in to get a football.
14:21Really?
14:22What's your name?
14:23Bit of O's.
14:24Any relation to Brendan Bowe's?
14:26He's my dad.
14:27It's not a problem, is it?
14:28Only if you've seen him.
14:30He's got three outstanding warrants.
14:32Shouldn't you lot be at school?
14:33It's lunchtime.
14:34We're going to stay there and get food for it, isn't it?
14:40Two incidents in one day.
14:42This is becoming a bit of a habit.
14:45Do you want to tell me what's been going on?
14:47Well, what do you care?
14:48I know what kids can be like.
14:51Well, I think we can both guess who the ringleader is.
14:54Go on, you lot.
14:55Show's over.
14:55Get back to school.
14:57Not you.
15:00Go on, Liam.
15:01You can go.
15:03It's your game.
15:07No game.
15:08I was just wondering what kind of hard man picks on a kid two years younger than himself.
15:12Not me.
15:13Liam's my mate.
15:14That's all right, then.
15:15Mates look out for each other.
15:17So the next time Liam gets into trouble, I'll be counting on you to back him up.
15:21Is that understood?
15:23Now get back to school before I take it out myself.
15:33You always did know how to back a loser.
15:51The young jockeys.
15:55No idea how to treat a thoroughbred.
15:59How'd you find me?
16:01Followed you from St. Louis.
16:04Wine bar.
16:06Corner of Paul Street.
16:09Meet you there in 20 minutes.
16:12Got a dead serve in the 1.30.
16:13Thanks.
16:34Hi, Eddie.
16:35I haven't been called out in a long time.
16:40What do I call you now?
16:41Seth.
16:43Seth Mercer.
16:46What, you doing at St. Hughes?
16:48No.
16:49Dodgy ticker.
16:51I have it monitored every six months.
16:52Then they tell me to lay off the fags and booze.
16:57You still being looked after by my lot?
16:59Mm-hmm.
17:00Decided to go it alone.
17:02Sure, that's clever.
17:03There's a few people around Manchester who would love to get their hands on Eddie Stark.
17:07Gave up a lot for you.
17:09I had to say goodbye to some close friends.
17:13I was after some info.
17:17Try me.
17:18Even though I don't partake, I still rub shoulders with the bad boys.
17:24There was a burglary last night.
17:27Nell's Distribution Camley Industrial Estate.
17:29Laptops.
17:33Forty grand's worth.
17:34Quite a catch.
17:36Got a name?
17:41Something like Bliss.
17:44Lewis Bliss.
17:44That's it.
17:45But definitely not Lewis.
17:47I've got a grandson called Lewis.
17:49I'd have remembered.
17:50Alex, er, Alan.
17:53Alex Bliss.
17:54Any idea where they were heading?
17:58It's a bit forward, isn't it?
18:00I mean, after all, this is only our first date.
18:02You only get one bit of info.
18:10Is that a mate?
18:12No.
18:13That is Terry Smart.
18:15If he thinks I'm talking to the old Bill, I've had it.
18:21Just play along.
18:24Right, I'll see you back home, sweetheart.
18:26I thought I'd nip to the bookies.
18:28Got a hot tip in the 3.15.
18:36Do you think he bought it?
18:38Who?
18:40Terry Smart.
18:42Never heard of him.
18:43You've got to take your chances when you can at my age.
18:49What, if I need to contact you again in an emergency?
18:52Well, I'll be down the bookies.
18:54I've got a sweepstake.
18:55Just another of my ecovices.
19:01Thank you, Dad.
19:04I'm hoping now that Yvonne's back,
19:06it'll help to ease the tension amongst the relief.
19:08I'm afraid it's going to take more than that, sir.
19:11Suspending Yvonne was inevitable,
19:12given the public interest and the media coverage of the death.
19:15Yes, but with respect, sir,
19:17when my officers have got a hooligan swinging a baseball bat at them
19:20or a drunk wielding a broken bottle,
19:23the first thing they need to think about is their safety,
19:24not some impending court case.
19:26I agree.
19:27It's a difficult situation for everyone.
19:30Let's hope Yvonne's acquitted,
19:32for everybody's sake.
19:34Any units to deal,
19:35RPC with injury,
19:37Shipley Street,
19:38Junction with Canvey Road,
19:39no traffic units available.
19:41We, uh,
19:42we don't have to take that, sir.
19:43I have to deal with another traffic accident at some point.
19:48Take the call.
19:52Sir Oscar from 4-8.
19:54Go ahead.
19:55Yeah, read that road traffic collision.
19:56You can show me dealing.
19:58All received, over.
19:58Siobhan.
20:10Siobhan?
20:10You've got to do something.
20:12I saw Peter picking on Liam again.
20:14You shouldn't have gone winding him up.
20:16What happened?
20:16Peter threatened Liam.
20:18He's told him to do something stupid.
20:20Well, if he doesn't do it,
20:22he said he'd cut him.
20:23What did Peter tell Liam to do?
20:25Siobhan?
20:26There's an old hut over the brickyard.
20:29Peter told Liam to set fire to it.
20:31I saw him going over that way.
20:34I've got a really bad feeling about this.
20:36You'd better come with me.
20:47Sir?
20:49Sir?
20:50You deal with the Saab driver.
20:52I'll check on the occupants of the other burial.
20:56Any injuries?
20:58No, no.
20:59Is she okay?
20:59I think so, yeah.
21:01Right.
21:01I'm Superintendent O'Kara.
21:02An ambulance is on its way.
21:03You're going to be okay.
21:05Can you show me what happened?
21:07I looked twice and then pulled out.
21:10She just appeared from nowhere.
21:12Are they going to be all right?
21:13Yeah, they'll seem okay.
21:15Right, Zoe.
21:16I'm going to need you to take a breath test, okay?
21:18You just take a deep breath and then blow slowly into that as if you're blowing up a balloon until I say stop.
21:25P.C. Johnson?
21:26Yes, sir?
21:27This officer will take all your details.
21:30What have you got, sir?
21:31The driver of the rover says the girl came out of the junction and hit her in the side.
21:35Yeah.
21:36Her name's Zoe Cook.
21:37Her breath test is negative.
21:39She doesn't appear to have suffered any injuries.
21:40There's something a bit odd about her, though.
21:42Drugs?
21:43No, that's the next question I was going to ask.
21:47Zoe, I'm Superintendent O'Kara.
21:50Zoe, have you taken anything today?
21:52Any illegal substances?
21:54No.
21:55I had an audition.
21:56I'm a musician.
21:58It was an accident.
21:59I never meant to hurt anyone.
22:01I looked, I swear.
22:03She just came out of nowhere.
22:05Okay, is there a friend or a relative who can get in touch with you?
22:08I just want to go home.
22:10I'm afraid that won't be possible.
22:11Oh, such an accident.
22:15I think we need to arrest her.
22:17Look, sir, I understand how you must be feeling being caught to an RTC after your family tragedy,
22:22but really, I think the girl's been through enough.
22:25You said yourself.
22:26There's a chance she's taken something illegal.
22:29She's certainly intoxicated on something.
22:31I want to arrest it.
22:32Sir, I just think it might be better if we waited until the paralel-
22:35June!
22:36Don't make me ask you twice.
22:39Sir.
22:41Arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, Zoe Cook.
22:51June's talking to her now.
22:52Involved in a road traffic accident, is that right?
22:54Mother and child were taken to St. Peter's.
22:56They'd just received the all-clear.
22:57Right.
22:58Once I told her she'd be bailed, she admitted to the FME that she'd taken a couple of her mum's tranquilizers.
23:05Apparently she had an audition at the Royal College of Music she took in just to try and calm herself down.
23:09I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
23:14That doesn't change the fact that somebody could easily have been maimed or killed.
23:18What happens now?
23:19When we've received the results of your blood tests, you'll be given a court date.
23:24It's up to the magistrate, but it's most likely you'll receive a fine and a 12-month ban from driving.
23:28In the meantime, I recommend you talk to our drugs referral worker, Rochelle Barrett.
23:33Um, but before you do that, your mum's in the front office if you want to see her.
23:37I'll take you through.
23:37Don't you think that was a bit harsh?
23:43It's the same as drink driving.
23:45A couple of lines are just for Dutch courage.
23:47Look, I know how you must be feeling, but taking a hard line on Zoe won't help you grieve for your family.
23:54Maybe you should channel your energies into a more worthy cause.
23:56Listen, Harry, this is all getting a bit childish, isn't it?
24:24You think I can trust you?
24:25I'm trying to call a truce with you.
24:28You're joking, aren't you?
24:29As far as I'm concerned, you're a snake in the grass.
24:34Fine.
24:35If we can't be friends, then let's just get on with our jobs.
24:37You think I'm a soft touch?
24:39Well, I'm not going to let some jumped-up little glory-seeker like you walk all over me.
24:44You know what, Gary?
24:46I thought I'd left that kind of behaviour back at nursery school.
24:51Why haven't you?
24:55You took your time.
24:59I thought we were working on this together.
25:01We are.
25:02So I'll come up and sat here for ages on my own.
25:04Because I had to follow something up.
25:06Go on.
25:07It's hush-hush, okay?
25:08You know that bloke we saw at the hospital?
25:12What about him?
25:13His name's Seth Mercer.
25:16I followed him to a bookie's on Plassy Street.
25:18Someone I knew from when I was in Manchester.
25:20Colleague?
25:22Not quite.
25:23He was my informant.
25:25But, er, things got a bit hot and he was forced to relocate.
25:28He's a super-grass.
25:29He was.
25:30He's retired now.
25:32He'd heard about the burglary and he gave me a name.
25:35Alex Bliss.
25:37Alex?
25:38It's Lewis's brother.
25:40I checked him out.
25:41He's got previous on GBH and handling stolen goods.
25:44It was obviously him driving the red rail.
25:47And it was probably him who assaulted Lewis.
25:49Not to mention he's got 40 grand's worth of stolen gear.
25:52So what did you manage to dig up?
25:54Well, I've got a list of companies Lewis had a contract with over the last few years, right?
25:59Now, out of the seven, three have been done over in the last four months.
26:02And they've mainly been nicking gear within the region of about three to four grand.
26:05Probably worth half of that on the black market.
26:08So why the sudden step-up?
26:1040 grand's worth of laptop.
26:11Seems a bit out of their league.
26:13Well, they've been successful up to now, haven't they?
26:15Maybe they're just getting a bit greedy.
26:16It's no wonder Lewis is playing the silent game.
26:18He wants to protect his brother.
26:19Well, the question is, how deeply is Lewis involved?
26:24And why did it all end in tears?
26:29We know about your brother, Alex.
26:31We know he's done time for GBH and handling stolen goods.
26:35So?
26:36So, three companies you've had a contract with have been turned over in the last four months,
26:40and that's not including Nell's distribution.
26:43See, what we can't figure out is who's the brains behind the operation.
26:47Your brother's obviously a very violent man.
26:51If he's capable of doing that, then why protect him?
26:53You don't know what you're missing with.
26:55He's got 40 grand's worth of stolen goods.
26:58You really think he's going to be thinking about what happens to you?
27:00It's not that simple.
27:02Why not?
27:03Because it isn't.
27:04Come on, help me out here.
27:06Why isn't it that simple?
27:09Lewis.
27:10He's got my wife and he's threatened to hurt her.
27:14I thought you said your wife was away on business.
27:18Yeah, well, I lied.
27:22If Alex thought I was talking to you, I can't afford to mess this up.
27:27I'll do what I can.
27:28I promise.
27:32When Alex left prison, Gaynor talked me into giving him a job.
27:35I thought everything was going okay.
27:40And then a few days ago, I caught him copying down the access codes to Nell's distribution.
27:46I knew what he was planning.
27:49I tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen.
27:52What happened?
27:55I went to the warehouse.
27:57I begged him to stop, but he was all psyched up.
28:00Are you saying your brother did this to you?
28:02I went home.
28:08I was going to call the police, but when I got home, the front door was open and Gaynor was missing.
28:15There was a text on my phone.
28:18It was from him.
28:19It said that he had Gaynor.
28:21Where's your wife now?
28:23I don't know.
28:25He said she stays with him until he's got rid of the gear.
28:28Then he'll call and I can collect her.
28:29She's his insurance against me, talking to you.
28:38Well, that's one thing, I suppose.
28:40At least it didn't burn her down.
28:42If he's let Pete down again, then God knows what'll happen to him.
28:45Over here!
28:48But that's Liam's!
28:50Well, something he must have got to him.
28:52Is there somewhere Liam would go?
28:54Somewhere he'd feel safe?
28:55I don't know.
28:58I know somewhere.
29:00Where?
29:01I hope you're not claustrophobic.
29:06Liam sometimes hangs out here.
29:08Nobody knows about it.
29:09It's like a secret hideout.
29:11He's saying his son was in there.
29:13Yeah.
29:14Why don't you wait here?
29:15I'll check it out.
29:16Okay, well, if he's in there...
29:18Don't worry, Laura.
29:19I'll take care of her.
29:27Wait till I speak to your mother.
29:33Liam!
29:35Liam!
29:35How long have you been down here?
29:46Let me guess.
29:48You've had a run on me, Pete.
29:49I've always...
29:50You've got nothing to prove, mate.
29:52People like him pick on someone else
29:54and they'll give up on people like you.
29:59They used to pick on kids like me.
30:02No.
30:03Ones who are too scared to stand up for themselves.
30:05I just want to help.
30:07If you hurt him, he'll just come straight back at me.
30:09I'm not going to hurt anyone.
30:11I just want to seek things out.
30:14Properly.
30:15We let Lewis contact his brother.
30:17He finds out where Alex is cashing in the laptops.
30:20We set up an offer,
30:21then we follow Alex back to gainer.
30:24It's too risky.
30:26If Alex thinks he's being set up...
30:27It's the best we've got, God.
30:30How do we know that Lewis isn't in on this?
30:33I mean, what's to stop him tipping his brother off?
30:35And then Alex disappears with 40 grand's worth of stolen gear.
30:38Lewis seems pretty genuine to us, Gov,
30:40and I don't think he'd risk putting his wife in danger.
30:43Sorry.
30:45All we have so far is Lewis's word for it.
30:48Go on.
30:49There's something else.
30:51I bumped into an old acquaintance,
30:53someone I knew from Manchester.
30:54He confirmed Lewis's version of events.
30:56Right.
30:56Well, who is this?
30:59I can't say.
31:01Well, then you have nothing.
31:02Well, I promised I wouldn't expose his identity.
31:06Sorry.
31:07We need something more concrete.
31:09We can't jeopardise this investigation
31:11with what could amount to duff information.
31:13Well, that's that, then.
31:18Just because the sergeant disagrees
31:19doesn't mean we can't get the green light from the operation.
31:23Sometimes you've got to go higher.
31:28Gov,
31:29I was wondering if I could have a quick word.
31:31What's on your mind?
31:32Most of Peter's gang-dad don't watch.
31:42They'll just laugh for long.
31:44They're just praying it doesn't happen to one of them.
31:47Bet you would just like them.
31:48Hicking on others.
31:50You couldn't be further than the truth.
31:53I know what it's like to be the dark playground judge.
31:56Peter's a nut.
31:57Ever since his dad left him, he's had it in for me.
32:00What's Peter's dad got to do with you?
32:01He was in trouble with the law.
32:03Instead of being sent down,
32:04he did a run-up.
32:06Now, Peter hates the business
32:07when anyone connects to him.
32:09You were telling me it's because
32:09your mum's a police CSI?
32:12You're going to have to tell her, then.
32:13No.
32:15If she thinks I'm being bullied because of that,
32:16she'll pack it in.
32:18One thing I've learned about your mum,
32:19she doesn't give up without a fight.
32:22I suppose she's out there.
32:25And, Siobhan,
32:26they're worried about you.
32:29Gabriel!
32:30Gabriel!
32:31Yeah?
32:32Is everything all right in there?
32:34Yeah, I'm in the end now.
32:35I hope it's fine.
32:41What's so we get out of here?
32:43I'm not thinking of you.
32:45You just can't stand around in small and closed spaces.
32:48Do you mean you?
32:49They scare me out for death.
32:52Come on.
32:53Joe.
32:53I suppose I should congratulate you
33:02on getting the go-ahead to you as Lewis.
33:04Sorry, Sarge.
33:05I was only interested in getting a result.
33:07It wasn't personal.
33:09Well, you made a judgment call.
33:11You went above me to get the green light.
33:13It's your prerogative.
33:14Sarge.
33:14I'm not convinced this plan of Joe's is going to work.
33:26I think we might need a contingency plan.
33:28Just to cover our backs.
33:30Sarge?
33:31Her contact might know something.
33:32I think I should talk to him.
33:34Well, I don't know.
33:35Joe seems to want to keep a pretty tight rein on this one.
33:38We're talking about a woman's safety here, Gary.
33:41Not to mention a few grams worth of stolen gear.
33:44He's called Seth Mercer, I think.
33:48Where can I find this Seth Mercer?
33:51I could try the bookies on Plassy Street.
33:55We can't afford to spend too much time on this one.
33:58Besides, if Laura's son only has been...
34:00Yeah, Liam.
34:01If Liam has been bullied by another pupil,
34:03it's up to the school to deal with it.
34:05Sarge, just a bit and do nothing.
34:06And let someone make Liam's life a misery.
34:10Why is this suddenly interested in Laura's son?
34:13What's the matter, Sarge?
34:15Don't you trust me?
34:18Make an appointment at the school for tomorrow morning.
34:20Let's see if we can get some other kids to come forward.
34:22But I don't think this is taking forever.
34:24We've got more pressing things to be getting on.
34:26Sarge?
34:29I can't believe I couldn't see what was going on in my own family.
34:31I think I've had to have a word with this Peter Vose.
34:34Nobody puts the fear of God into my son
34:35and gets away with it.
34:36You go Steven in to Peter
34:37and you're doing more harm than good.
34:39So what do you suggest then?
34:41Sergeant Ackman's given the go-ahead
34:42to approach the school.
34:43The more kids we can get to admit being bullied,
34:45the stronger our case.
34:46Oh, as long as it's a start.
34:48We know who the perpetrators are.
34:50It's not down to her that Liam's getting into trouble.
34:52So why is he being picked on then?
34:54It's something you and me have both got in common.
34:56The uniform.
35:01So you're saying that it's down to the fact that I'm a PCSO?
35:06As soon as you put the uniform on, things change.
35:09Certain people take exception to it.
35:11Especially those operating on the wrong side of the law.
35:13You see, sometimes things aren't quite as simple as I've first seen.
35:22Remember to keep it calm
35:23when you're proof that Gaynor's still alive.
35:27Then we need to know where and when the goods are going to be exchanged.
35:30We don't want to do anything that makes Alex suspicious.
35:33Just try and pin him down about Gaynor.
35:35When can you see her?
35:36Where is she now?
35:37That kind of thing.
35:37What's that?
35:39Are you OK?
35:41Yeah, I just want my wife back.
35:45Alex?
35:46Yeah?
35:48I want to speak to Gaynor.
35:49Oh, take it easy, bruv.
35:51I want this mess over and done with as much as you do.
35:54Put her on.
35:56Lewis!
35:57Gaynor.
35:59Has he hurt you?
36:00I want to go home.
36:02I'll sort it.
36:03I promise you.
36:05Gaynor, where are you?
36:06I told you she was all right.
36:09If you want to start your nose out...
36:11When can I get her back?
36:12Soon.
36:13When?
36:14As soon as I get the cash from Craig, you get Gaynor.
36:17Simple as that.
36:17When will I get to see her?
36:19Calm down.
36:20I'll make the exchange at 5.30.
36:22I'll be sad for the river, so it'll take a while to get back.
36:24You keep your cool.
36:25They should be home by 7.
36:33Well done.
36:34Right, I think we should chase Alex's mobile records.
36:38Check for any calls made to somebody called Craig.
36:41Then when we get his surname, we can cross-reference it with our own intelligence and non-hundlers.
36:45Sir?
36:46You're all right.
36:47Yeah.
36:47I'm supposed to put a bet on for someone.
37:14I don't know what I'm doing.
37:15I don't even know how you picked a horse.
37:19I suppose you've got any tips, have you?
37:21Has nobody ever told you that talking to strangers is dangerous?
37:26I'm Sam.
37:28And you are?
37:30Jolly otter.
37:32Well, your mother's obviously got a sense of humour.
37:34She's running in the 5.15.
37:3720 to 1?
37:38Well, I like the odds.
37:40Couldn't I pick your brains?
37:41That's all you're getting from me.
37:42Wait.
37:42You're a copper.
37:44I can smell it a mile off, so can everyone else in here.
37:47I don't like being compromised.
37:49You're Seth Mercer.
37:51And you're a flaming liability, love.
37:53All it takes is for the wrong person to catch me talking to you and I'm dead.
37:58So if you'll excuse me.
38:00Right, the goods are going to be passed to a known handler, Craig Brown.
38:20Now, Brown has been on surveillance for some time, and we know that he operates out of
38:23a yard down River Mill Lane.
38:25So, we observe the handover, and hopefully Alex will lead us to Gaynor.
38:29I want everybody in position by five.
38:32And nobody moves till I say.
38:33Right?
38:35Okay.
38:35Gary, we need to get some time in the diary.
38:42What, Fogel?
38:42Oh, it's just a catch-up.
38:43It's been a while since your performance review.
38:45Well, I've got five minutes.
38:46It's a bit hectic at the minute.
38:47Let's, uh, see what happens tomorrow, shall we?
38:48Gov, there's two vans approaching from Hadley Park.
39:01All units, stand by.
39:03That red van looks like the same one that you were using in the robbery.
39:07Yep, that's Alex.
39:10That's Craig Brown.
39:12He's spotting a bit of weight since he was selling videos down the Tour Angels.
39:16Give me that a sec.
39:18There's a woman in the red van.
39:26That'll be gay, and what's she doing here?
39:37Well, you take the one in black, yeah?
39:39I'll take the brown.
39:40There's the exchange.
39:50It says crime doesn't pay.
39:58He's not like a hostage to me.
40:00Say that again.
40:01Go, go, go!
40:02Look, mate, you're not going anywhere.
40:20Well done, Susie.
40:33Mr Bliss, we've been through your company records, and Gaynor had made an application for a business loan and totally drained the account.
40:48Now add that to the 40 grand they would have got from stolen laptops, tidy little sum.
40:52But she stitched me up.
40:56Why?
40:58Alex and Gaynor, they seemed intimate.
41:05Flight tickets had already been booked.
41:07Alicante one way.
41:08What happens now?
41:14Well, you're no longer a suspect, and I'm satisfied that you had nothing to do with the burglaries, but we do need you to be a witness against Alex and Gaynor.
41:22And we need your help to nail them.
41:24Hiya.
41:39Got your message?
41:40You know the score.
41:41If I'm spotted consorting with coppers, I'm dead.
41:45What, Yonabel?
41:47I'll never compromise yourself, do you know that?
41:49Huh?
41:50So how come I had a visit from one of your colleagues, eh?
41:53Pretty little thing.
41:55Blonde hair.
41:56Nice smile.
41:56Samantha Nixon?
41:58Waltzed up to me like I was her mate.
42:00Right in the middle of the book is under the gaze of God knows who.
42:05I had no idea.
42:07Sorry, mate.
42:08Maybe you should have kept your mouth shut.
42:10Eddie!
42:11Seth, I'll sort it out.
42:13It was just a glitch.
42:15It could have cost me my life.
42:17Come on, mate!
42:19We've got Alex.
42:20Alex, he's no idea the information came from you.
42:25What happened was my fault.
42:27I trusted a colleague, and they let me down.
42:32You and me both.
42:33You've learned to stop being treated like a doormat.
42:44Yes, Nixon backed me into a corner.
42:46Do you know, I've been listening to you whine on all day about Susie.
42:48I supported you, I trusted you, and this is how you repay me.
42:51I'm sorry.
42:53Have you any idea what you've just done?
42:56Excuse me?
42:57You've just compromised the safety of an informant.
43:01Oh, that was a judgment call.
43:03Like yours.
43:05Except mine didn't pay off.
43:06You can say that again.
43:10I think very carefully about how you speak to me, Detective Constable.
43:15The man you went to see is an ex-supergrass.
43:18Your reckless actions could have got him killed.
43:21How the hell was I supposed to know?
43:23You were too busy trying to keep him to yourself.
43:25I kept his identity a secret for a reason.
43:28Because he trusts me, or at least he did before you blew it!
43:32You two.
43:33A word.
43:33So what are you playing at?
43:41DS Nixon risked exposing the identity of a supergrass.
43:44Which obviously I wouldn't have done had I known the situation.
43:46Well, so you decide to have a slang image outside CID.
43:49If DS Nixon had communicated, told me what her intentions were,
43:53I would have advised her against contacting him.
43:55If DC Masters had explained the situation in the first place,
43:58kept us all in the loop,
43:59then obviously I would have acted differently.
44:01Look, I don't care if you've got different ways of working.
44:03You're police officers, you're part of a team.
44:05And that means communicating with each other.
44:08Not going behind each other's backs.
44:09Is that understood?
44:11It's a...
44:12Very nice collar.
44:13I knew all your kickboxing would pay off, do you know what I mean?
44:15Stop it.
44:17Another one-woman effort by DC Sim.
44:20Credit where credit's due, Gary.
44:21You just love stealing all the glory, don't you?
44:24I can't help it if being good at my job makes you feel inadequate, OK?
44:28Well, listen up, everybody.
44:29I just want to say that was a great result.
44:31And I'm pretty confident that the CPS have got enough evidence to secure a conviction.
44:36Special thanks to you, Joe, for organising the operation.
44:39And to you, Susie, for that arrest.
44:42I think we missed someone out, Gough.
44:44Yeah, we can't forget Gary's endeavours in all of this, Gough.
44:47Like you give a toss about anyone else.
44:49Maybe we should all be introduced to the real DC Sim.
44:52It's about time someone put a stop to a charade.
44:55Have we got a problem here?
44:56Yeah, Gough, she's my problem.
44:57I'm sick of her treating me like I'm one big joke.
45:00I've had enough.
45:01I want everybody to know that DC Sim is nothing but a backstabbing, jumped-up bully.
45:07Have you finished?
45:08Yeah.
45:09Good.
45:10My office now.
45:11Have you had any idea what you just did?
45:30After that show, nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to want to ever work with you again.
45:34Next time, on The Bill.
45:45What's he doing here? Why have you brought him in?
45:47Because we found out he's the one who's been taking money off people.
45:50I don't want to get a reputation for bullying.
45:51Are you avoiding me or what?
45:53Just don't, OK?
45:54Is that supposed to be another little dicksuit?
45:56Gary!
45:56She's your best.
45:57Please, please, don't let him out!
45:58All right, let the woman go!
