00:01:30Well, not for much longer.
00:01:31Just a few weeks till you start uni.
00:01:33I know.
00:01:35Oh, you never mention it, that's all.
00:01:37I think it's because he's worried about missing us and his mates, right?
00:01:41I mean, my mates.
00:01:42Chicken.
00:01:44Twas and selling.
00:01:45Yeah.
00:01:46Cheers.
00:01:49Mmm.
00:01:55Mmm.
00:01:57We finished?
00:01:58Yeah.
00:01:58Well, we've only just sat down.
00:02:00I'm meeting John for a run on the seafront.
00:02:02But your mum's...
00:02:02Ryan!
00:02:04See you later, love.
00:02:09Ryan!
00:02:16See you later, love.
00:02:36Get out!
00:02:37Oh, no.
00:02:37Just talk to me.
00:02:38Leave me alone!
00:02:44Actually, the first time you've spoken to me in about a week, so...
00:02:50Well, it's...
00:02:51It's not you.
00:02:53He's been anxious about school since the suspension and...
00:02:58What was the wedding a few days away?
00:03:00He's...
00:03:01He's got a lot on.
00:03:02Yeah.
00:03:03Maybe you haven't given him enough attention.
00:03:06It makes two of us.
00:03:12Oh.
00:03:13I'm here to get the mortuary.
00:03:14I'm on call, so...
00:03:16It's okay.
00:03:17You go.
00:03:18I'll get Glenn to cover for me tonight.
00:03:21Sure?
00:03:22Absolutely.
00:03:24Okay.
00:03:35Hey, congratulations on the promotion, Detective Sergeant.
00:03:38Right, so, what have we got?
00:03:40Four masked robbers, all carrying firearms.
00:03:44Sounds like one of them is a bit of a hothead.
00:03:46Uh, one or the other shouted, let's go.
00:03:48Middle-aged, caught in an accident.
00:03:50Let's get the CCTV from here and all the other businesses
00:03:53and pull everything available, okay?
00:03:55Guns, getaway vehicle, markings on banknotes, everything.
00:03:59Got it.
00:04:03This is my first armed robbery,
00:04:05if you can believe such a thing.
00:04:08You know what?
00:04:09I can.
00:04:10It's a mugs game, all of this.
00:04:13You've got marked notes,
00:04:14you've got silent alarms,
00:04:16and sod all cash in the register.
00:04:17Who's bucking the trend?
00:04:20I mean, the kind of villain
00:04:21that's bold enough for a job like this.
00:04:24You're a dying breed.
00:04:36You're a dying breed, once in a building.
00:04:42They're so strange.
00:04:44It's been arriving
00:04:45in 5 minutes.
00:04:47You've got expertly back-up location on front.
00:04:51They're referredictions in front.
00:04:51We have to have a second.
00:04:52Back-up location on front.
00:04:53You've got a first contact...
00:04:56Chris Hayton, 19, when he lived on the estate.
00:05:01I think he was killed last night, but found just over an hour ago.
00:05:15Preliminary signs suggest death by stabbing.
00:05:17Sadly not uncommon these days, especially on the Chelsen.
00:05:22I was a beat copper here for six months.
00:05:24It was rough, but there was a real sense of community.
00:05:29Obviously not anymore.
00:05:33I want every doorbell camera checked,
00:05:35and house to house throughout the estate.
00:05:38If we need to draft in more uniform, do it.
00:05:41Okay, got it.
00:05:43Is that Chris?
00:05:46I'm guessing that's the parents.
00:05:49Chris!
00:05:50Okay, we need to talk to them, but in the meantime, could you...
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:59Roy?
00:06:03I'm missing his pocket.
00:06:05What's this? Coke? Heroin, maybe?
00:06:08My baby!
00:06:09My baby!
00:06:11My baby!
00:06:12My baby!
00:06:13My baby!
00:06:19Chris had absolutely nothing to do with drugs.
00:06:22Nothing.
00:06:23Okay.
00:06:24What about enemies?
00:06:26Somebody you might have had a run in with?
00:06:27He didn't have an enemy in the world.
00:06:29He...
00:06:31He had everything to live for.
00:06:34He was off to Newcastle in the autumn to do a degree in architecture.
00:06:38Can we talk about Chris's movements last night?
00:06:42You said you had dinner together.
00:06:45He came home from work around eight.
00:06:50He's a pizza delivery driver.
00:06:52Then we had dinner.
00:06:55He left pretty quickly.
00:06:57He said he was meeting his friend John for a run on the seafront.
00:07:01He thought he'd stayed over at his.
00:07:05Excuse me.
00:07:09The seafront's quite away from here.
00:07:11How would he usually make that journey?
00:07:13This moped.
00:07:16It's still parked outside.
00:07:18Oh.
00:07:20Chris is on our system, albeit once.
00:07:23At age 14 he was caught with the intent to supply quantities of cannabis,
00:07:27but he was released without charge.
00:07:29If you won't tell them about Drew, I will.
00:07:32The idea that he has anything to do with this is...
00:07:33Who's Drew?
00:07:37Chris's half-brother.
00:07:38My son.
00:07:39He's a drug dealer.
00:07:40He was into drugs for a little bit.
00:07:42He used Chris as a delivery boy.
00:07:43It was over five years ago.
00:07:45Chris didn't even know it was in the package.
00:07:46And no one beat Drew up about it more than Drew himself.
00:07:51Instead of standing there asking questions about Drew,
00:07:53why aren't you out looking for the killer?
00:07:59Estimated time of death between 8.30 and 10pm last night.
00:08:03Peri-mortem bruising to the knees, chest and chin
00:08:07suggest he was pushed face forward to the ground.
00:08:09Mitch would have taken some force.
00:08:11Hmm.
00:08:13He fought back too.
00:08:15Played Knuckles.
00:08:17He probably tried to stand up and used to be felled by the deep stab wound to the chest,
00:08:21which killed him.
00:08:23So our killer likely has bruises of their own.
00:08:26There are two shallow cuts to the back.
00:08:30From the discolouration I'd say sustained just before death.
00:08:35Possibly hesitation marks.
00:08:39Which suggests the assailant might have had second thoughts.
00:08:44Maybe they knew the victim.
00:08:53Hey.
00:08:54I wanted to see how you're doing.
00:08:56Yeah, I'm okay.
00:08:57Listen, I'm sorry I put you in a spot,
00:08:59having to lie to worry about Munich and how that's difficult.
00:09:01It was my choice.
00:09:03Look, whilst we're closing in on our bases,
00:09:05it's best we keep this to ourselves.
00:09:07Yeah.
00:09:10Okay.
00:09:13The murder of Chris Hayton.
00:09:15Now, a few things point towards this being drug related.
00:09:18We found a wrap of heroin in his pocket.
00:09:21His brother was a dealer and Chris has a history of running for him when he was younger.
00:09:28So as we speak, the Charleston estate has been canvassed for intel on Chris' assailant.
00:09:32The search for a weapon is ongoing.
00:09:34Chris told his parents he was going to meet a mate on the seafront now.
00:09:38He would usually take his moped.
00:09:39But he set off on foot and his body was found on the estate.
00:09:44So the question is, where was he really going and why?
00:09:48Now, seeing as we have an armed robbery and a dead teenager,
00:09:52we're obviously going to have to split our resources.
00:09:55So, Glenn and Nick, I need you to stay focused on the money exchange job.
00:09:59What have we got?
00:10:00Well, CCTV has just come in.
00:10:08It's pretty slick.
00:10:10Yeah.
00:10:12I'd be surprised if they hadn't built up to this in some shape or form.
00:10:15Yeah, we're calling around local forces to see if anything fits the bill.
00:10:19Good idea. Spread the net wide.
00:10:21Aren't Sonoff's the bank robber's weapon of choice?
00:10:23Well, they were, but you've got to move with the times.
00:10:25I mean, we can get this enhanced.
00:10:27Any identifying marks on the guns might help tie them to other crimes.
00:10:30What about the getaway car?
00:10:32Still reviewing the traffic cam footage.
00:10:33And we've also been doing a dive into Brighton robbers of the past.
00:10:38And David Higson keeps rising to the surface.
00:10:41He robbed an S24 secure van back in 2004 to the tune of 400K.
00:10:47He shot the driver point blank in his face.
00:10:50And somehow he survived.
00:10:51Yeah, I remember that.
00:10:52Did 12 years in Maythor prison.
00:10:54But what's interesting is that Higson always worked with a crew of four.
00:10:58Yeah, he now runs a local sailing club.
00:11:01It's a bit of a haunt for old faces, apparently.
00:11:03Seaford Boat Club.
00:11:04Yeah, that's a good place to start.
00:11:06Although I'm not sure the likes of us would be too welcome there.
00:11:09You might have to get creative.
00:11:12Okay, thanks everyone.
00:11:13Roy.
00:11:15We pulled fingerprints on the wrap in Chris's pocket.
00:11:18And not just his prints.
00:11:19There's also a match to Drew Simpson.
00:11:22Chris's half-brother.
00:11:26It was one time, okay?
00:11:28It was one mistake.
00:11:30And Brian never let me forget it.
00:11:33This wrap was in Chris's pocket.
00:11:35It bears his fingerprints.
00:11:38And yours.
00:11:42What, and you think I killed him?
00:11:45Then help us make sense of this, Drew.
00:11:50Look, I got out for a few years.
00:11:52Okay?
00:11:53Then someone I used to work for came back to Brighton looking to collect.
00:11:57A scary bastard you did not say no to.
00:12:00And did the scary bastard inflict those bruises on your eye?
00:12:04I reckon I owed him from a few years back.
00:12:06And I figured the only way to free myself from him was to pay up.
00:12:11And that meant dealing for him.
00:12:12So he got tired of waiting for you to pay up.
00:12:15And beating you up didn't work.
00:12:17So he went after Chris.
00:12:19Is that within the realms of possibility, Drew?
00:12:24I don't know.
00:12:26What about that?
00:12:31Okay.
00:12:32Yeah, it's mine.
00:12:34It could be mine.
00:12:35But Chris having it, that makes no sense.
00:12:40How was your relationship with Chris?
00:12:42Were you close?
00:12:43Not really.
00:12:45But a few months back he wanted to hang out a bit more.
00:12:48You know?
00:12:49Before he went to uni.
00:12:52But the grief I got from Brighton,
00:12:55wasn't worth the hassle.
00:12:56If you want to do right by your brother,
00:12:59you need to tell us who you work for right now.
00:13:05Look, I tell you that.
00:13:07And I'm dead too.
00:13:11If he's telling the truth,
00:13:13then Chris got hold of that rap without Drew knowing.
00:13:16Or Drew's lying,
00:13:17and he did pull Chris into running drugs for him
00:13:19because of pressure from that dealer.
00:13:22Hang on.
00:13:24Drew's bruises are semi-healed.
00:13:26Forensics think he sustained them seven days ago.
00:13:29So, not in the process of subduing or killing his brother then?
00:13:33No.
00:13:33Well, we can check his alibi
00:13:35and dig into dealing on the estate.
00:13:37Yeah, and let's find out who he works for.
00:13:39Just the way he was talking about him,
00:13:41he did seem...
00:13:43genuinely scared.
00:13:46You have the nerve to come here today
00:13:48when this is all your fault!
00:13:49What? That's not true!
00:13:50They arrested you, didn't they?
00:13:51It was a misunderstanding!
00:13:52They don't do that for no reason!
00:13:54That's why they let me go!
00:13:55Tell him, Mum!
00:13:56She's not fighting your battles anymore.
00:13:58She certainly doesn't want to see you.
00:14:00Mum, please!
00:14:02Mum!
00:14:03I'm gonna find out who did this!
00:14:05Okay?
00:14:10Come on!
00:14:34A few locals mentioned someone who could be the guy Drew's working for.
00:14:39He honed his skills up in Manchester working for his uncle.
00:14:42And by skills, I mean killing everyone who got in their way.
00:14:46Then he came home to find half of Brighton in the grip of London dealers.
00:14:50He set his civic pride so he staged a fight back.
00:14:52What's his name?
00:14:53Scott Atherton.
00:14:55Apparently he runs all the drugs on the estate and beyond.
00:14:59Okay, um, get the drugs team to send us everything they've got on him.
00:15:04I'll meet you back at CID.
00:15:05Something I've gotta do first.
00:15:07Fair.
00:15:10No, that's brilliant.
00:15:11Thank you very much.
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:13Cool.
00:15:16I just spoke to a DC in Hove about some unsolved breakings.
00:15:21Essentially it was three jobs, impeccably planned.
00:15:24All high-end houses.
00:15:26All second homes and all taking place inside the same two-month period.
00:15:30So what makes this DC think that his guys are our guys?
00:15:34Well, he said each property they hit was bigger and better secured.
00:15:37In that context, hitting the money exchange might well be raising the bar.
00:15:42Good news is, despite being camera shy,
00:15:46the last break-in they weren't able to stay completely invisible.
00:15:54Four strong teams are unusual.
00:15:56House breakers or robberies.
00:15:58That's a significant commonality.
00:16:04So it's a white skull mask.
00:16:07I'll get that enhanced.
00:16:10This, uh, S24 job.
00:16:12Only Higson and his lieutenant Lenny Palmer went down.
00:16:15So what, the other two were never identified?
00:16:17Not definitively, no.
00:16:19And Higson and Palmer wouldn't roll on them.
00:16:22You know what, I'm gonna head up to the Seaford Boat Club.
00:16:25See what kind of establishment Higson's running.
00:16:50Hello, Scott.
00:16:52Constable Grace.

00:26:10you
00:26:10you
00:26:15you
00:26:15yeah
00:26:16we found the robber's getaway car
00:26:18torched and dumped behind the old ball factory
00:26:21we're sure it's theirs
00:26:22yeah we pulled cctv then driving it past the lumber yard
00:26:27still masked i'm afraid but
00:26:29get the lab to put a rush on the results from the car
00:26:32okay great work
00:26:33keep me posted yeah nick
00:26:34you back at the boat club
00:26:36yeah i'm just uh just following the lead
00:26:47just had confirmation on drew's alibi in an evening study group at the time of chris's murder
00:26:53and so say cameras and 15 classmates
00:26:55okay
00:26:58how did you get on with scott
00:27:03i am a detective
00:27:06so what's the deal
00:27:07you crossed paths before
00:27:09yeah when i worked on the chelsum
00:27:12he was just a kid then
00:27:13was it a good idea getting close to him
00:27:16i just asked him some questions that's all
00:27:19but you didn't want me there
00:27:26based on what i saw last night
00:27:28i think scott might be using food delivery bikes to shift his product
00:27:32you think chris was part of that
00:27:34i think we should ask that question
00:27:35and let's verify that chris did actually work for brighton slice
00:27:41yeah
00:27:43i've been digging through chris's phone
00:27:45as you suspected there are no messages to his friend john tyler
00:27:48listen about a run on the seafront
00:27:49in fact there are no messages with anyone about where he was going
00:27:54we need to speak to john
00:27:56see if we can shine a light on chris's movements
00:28:01i'm sorry about chris
00:28:03it's awful
00:28:04i don't want my son dragged into anything
00:28:08we understand
00:28:09i mean it's another world up there
00:28:12john wants to help any way he can
00:28:14don't you
00:28:18okay lad
00:28:19come on
00:28:20we'll uh make ourselves scarce
00:28:24thank you
00:28:29okay john
00:28:35so chris's parents said he was going to meet you for a late run on the seafront
00:28:40uh yeah
00:28:41we uh did meet up
00:28:44but earlier
00:28:45where
00:28:47here he uh
00:28:49left around seven
00:28:51can i be honest with you john
00:28:53we've already worked out that meeting you for a late night run was some kind of cover up
00:28:58uh
00:28:59he left his moped behind there was nothing on his phone
00:29:02okay
00:29:03so we have to assume
00:29:05that he was meeting someone closer to home walking distance
00:29:09someone who
00:29:10for some reason
00:29:12his parents didn't approve of
00:29:15so you're asking me uh
00:29:16who that was
00:29:23his brother maybe
00:29:25me
00:29:26drew
00:29:29anyone else
00:29:30he could have been meeting
00:29:33anything strange
00:29:33in the way he was behaving when he came over
00:29:39i have to ask you john
00:29:40why would chris lie to his parents
00:29:44was he involved in something dodgy
00:29:45something
00:29:47criminal even

00:34:29for your house break-ins
00:34:31maybe
00:34:32but for your money exchange team
00:34:34now he's got the guts

00:37:05look
00:37:06i'm not saying he was dealing
00:37:07but
00:37:08it felt like he wanted to build a relationship with his brother
00:37:11at any price
00:37:12maybe that weren't helping him out
00:37:14it tracks
00:37:15i mean
00:37:16chris pissed off someone on the estate
00:37:19no sorry

00:37:27cause he was in trouble
00:37:27might be bullets
00:37:28it might be nothing
00:37:29i don't know what chris was involved in
00:37:32none of us do
00:37:32where chief
00:37:45forensics are back on the burnt out getaway car
00:37:48thanks to fire damage
00:37:49there's no prints or dna
00:37:51why can i feel a butt coming
00:37:53why can i feel a butt coming
00:38:02We found tiny traces of plastic in Tarak Prasad's hit wound.
00:38:07Get the lab to compare them with the melted plastic found in the core.
00:38:12Hidson might be resurrecting the old S-24 gang, and this time with new blood.
00:38:16So we need to pull everything we can on Gary Owens, Pete Hidson, and Frank Curtis.
00:38:27Oh, God.
00:38:28I'll just see you.
00:38:30What's up?
00:38:32Hello, John.
00:38:34Hi, you all right?
00:38:37This is Seb and Luke.
00:38:38They were at college with us.
00:38:40Detective Superintendent Grace, Detective Sergeant Moy.
00:38:43We're very sorry about Chris.
00:38:45Thanks, mate.
00:38:46I appreciate it.
00:38:58Wes?
00:38:59Wes?
00:39:01Wait.
00:39:03I want to talk to you.
00:39:05They come after my brother.
00:39:07He's dead.
00:39:09I know you saw me in Pavilion Green.
00:39:13Did you tell Scott?
00:39:17I had to.
00:39:19What were you thinking, Crossy?
00:39:21What were you thinking, telling him?
00:39:24I'm sorry.
00:39:36None of this stuff comes cheap.
00:39:38We only found Chris's smartphone at the scene, right?
00:39:42Maybe he used a burner for dealing.
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:45A burner we cannot find.
00:39:47So maybe the killer took it with him.
00:39:50Well, if Chris is dealing for Scott, then all bets are off.
00:39:52You could have crossed him.
00:39:54Displeased him, tried to quit.
00:39:56What are you looking for?
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:03Excuse me.
00:40:06Something, anything, that would help me make sense of Chris's last hours.
00:40:10Where he went, who he met, because it wasn't John Tylerson.
00:40:18What is it, Maggie?
00:40:23Over the last year, Chris felt pretty self-sufficient.
00:40:28Like, he didn't need us anymore.
00:40:30Well, more recently, he seemed withdrawn.
00:40:33I just put it down to being anxious about uni, you know.
00:40:37And moving away.
00:40:43The night he died, I don't know, maybe I'm kidding myself, but it felt like he did need his mum
00:40:51again, or...
00:40:53He wanted to share something.
00:40:55I mean, I thought, no, I...
00:40:59I've got to let him talk when he's good and ready.
00:41:07Leave it to it.
00:41:15Circulating through Simpson to local stations has paid off.
00:41:19Last week, he was spoken to by officers up in Preston Park.
00:41:22He was suspected of dealing, but they let him off with a warning.
00:41:26If he was there, that's a long way outside Scott's turf.
00:41:29That would explain the bruises.
00:41:32Pulled the files on Owens, Curtis and Higson Jr.
00:41:37Curtis has form as an armed robber, but it's all historic.
00:41:40Higson Jr. did a stretch for mortgage fraud, but nothing heavy.
00:41:44Right.
00:41:44And, uh, Gary Owens?
00:41:45He's the one that stands out.
00:41:47It's a long record of breaking and entering.
00:41:49Plus, you said he was rocking a Hublot watch recently?
00:41:52Yeah.
00:41:52One was stolen at the last of the three Holtburglaries.
00:41:55Nice.
00:41:56And the timing fits, too.
00:41:58I've sent uniform to keep tabs on.
00:41:59Great.
00:42:03How did you ID Owens, by the way, hear about his watch and stuff?
00:42:08Don't imagine the boat club would have a particularly leaky clientele.
00:42:16Kevin Spinello.
00:42:18Look, I ran into him there.
00:42:21Thought he was in prison.
00:42:22Yeah, or so did I.
00:42:23Early release.
00:42:24Look, he came to an arrangement of, uh, mutual benefit.
00:42:28At least that's what he thinks, anyway.
00:42:30And what do we think Grace is going to make of that?
00:42:33Like, any sort of interaction with Kevin Spinello, let alone an arrangement.
00:42:38It's fine.
00:42:43Well, I've sent over cleaned up footage from the Holtburglary.
00:43:02You are kidding me.
00:43:05Hey.
00:43:06Very similar, no?
00:43:08Huh.
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:09Yeah, I'd say Gary is shaping up nicely.
00:43:12Right.
00:43:12Let's arrest him for the break-ins, and let's see if we can pin him to the money exchange job.
00:43:28I'm just worried that Spinello's setting us up for a fall.
00:43:31Look, we need all the help we can get with these old faces.
00:43:34And right now, he's our best bet.
00:43:44That's Owens.
00:43:47The old bill wrong to me.
00:43:49I don't know, but I need help.
00:43:52I thought we were in this together.
00:43:59Gary Owens.
00:44:02I'm arresting you on suspicion of burglary.
00:44:19I'm sorry, Mum.
00:44:21It's my fault.
00:44:23It's all my fault.
00:44:25Stop!
00:44:27Drop the gun.
00:44:28Drop it!
00:44:29Well, it's not mine.
00:44:30Stay where you are!
00:44:31It's not mine!
00:44:32On the ground!
00:44:33Face down!
00:44:33It's not even mine!
00:44:34On the ground!
00:44:35Face down!
00:44:36Don't hurt him!
00:44:38It's not mine!
00:44:43I was an idiot.
00:44:45Started selling outside Scott's patch.
00:44:48Bit of diluting, bit of mark-up.
00:44:51Up in Preston Park.
00:44:53I got cautioned by one of you lot, and somehow Scott heard about it and gave me a beating.
00:44:58Did you heed the warning?
00:45:00Did you give Scott any reason for further reprisals?
00:45:06Is that a yes?
00:45:09A few days later, I went back to dealing on the estate.
00:45:14At the end of the night, I had some left over, so I headed up to Pavilion Green to shift
00:45:18it.
00:45:20And I was seen.
00:45:22Seen by who?
00:45:25This junkie, I know.
00:45:28And he told Scott.
00:45:31I know what I did.
00:45:33I know what I did.
00:45:36If Scott killed Chris to punish Drew, planting the wrap on Chris's body doesn't seem to stretch.
00:45:41Fine or screw you.
00:45:43Strategic as well.
00:45:45Scott's got a reputation to keep.
00:45:47Sends out a signal.
00:45:48And Chris?
00:45:50Collateral damage.
00:45:52Even if Chris was one of his foot soldiers, there'd be plenty of others that could replace him.
00:45:57Just shows how ruthless Scott is.
00:46:15Let him go.
00:46:16He's such a junkie.
00:46:17It's not worth the hassle.
00:46:21Let's go.
00:46:23Let's go.
00:46:30Why did you run?
00:46:31It's not a good look.
00:46:33That's muscle memory, isn't it?
00:46:35You lot have been giving me grief since forever.
00:46:38Is this you, Gary?
00:46:41Tattoo looks very similar, to put it mildly.
00:46:49Ah, sorry.
00:46:51Well, if it's not you, then where were you on the night of April 24th?
00:46:56No idea.
00:47:02Who's this, Gary?
00:47:04Is he deaf?
00:47:06I wasn't there.
00:47:09Okay.
00:47:11Where were you the day before yesterday?
00:47:14Between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
00:47:16I was at the C4 Boat Club.
00:47:17I'm the caretaker.
00:47:18Anyone who can verify that?
00:47:20Actually, we had a leak.
00:47:21I was down in the cellar sawing.
00:47:23So you were on your own?
00:47:25So what about your mates at the boat club?
00:47:27Where were they?
00:47:29Mates.
00:47:30Dave Higson, Pete Higson, Lenny Palmer, Frank Curtis?
00:47:33I don't want mates.
00:47:35Okay, Pete is.
00:47:36Did he tell you to run?
00:47:37No one tells me what to do, mate.
00:47:40Except Dave Higson.
00:47:43Pays your wages?
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:48I bet you do what he tells you, all right?
00:48:05I bet you do what he tells you, all right?
00:48:13Since when was that your style?
00:48:17Starting to piss me off, John.
00:48:19Who was he?
00:48:20Some guy who was hassling Chris.
00:48:22Yeah?
00:48:22Hassling him about what?
00:48:23Chris was cagey about it.
00:48:24Something to do with his brother, maybe.
00:48:25No.
00:48:26No, no, no.
00:48:27Chris never mentioned it.
00:48:27Well, clearly, you didn't know Chris as well as you thought you did.
00:48:30You're all so full of it.
00:48:32Hey.
00:48:32Hey.
00:48:33Guys.
00:48:34Guys.
00:48:34Guys.
00:48:35Guys.
00:48:36You wouldn't have wanted this.
00:48:42We've made a strong link between the money exchange job and three break-ins in Hove.
00:48:46And we also have a Gary Owens in custody.
00:48:49Oh, how did he get onto your radar?
00:48:52Uh, long story.
00:48:53But let's see if anything comes from it first.
00:48:56Okay.
00:48:57Moving on to Chris Hayton.
00:48:59We have our sights set on Scott Atherton, a local dealer.
00:49:03We believe he's moving his drugs via kids on food delivery mopeds, and we think that Chris
00:49:08might have been one of them.
00:49:09When we spoke to his mate John about what Chris was involved in, we seemed to hit a nerve
00:49:15like he was hiding something.
00:49:16And Scott had Chris's brother Drew beaten up for dealing on the side, and it also seems
00:49:22that Drew didn't quite heed the warning.
00:49:24Isn't beating someone up and then killing their brother quite an escalation?
00:49:29True.
00:49:30But drug dealers are not known for their patience.
00:49:31Especially not Scott Atherton.
00:49:33I've been in touch with the drugs team.
00:49:35Scott was on their radar up in Manchester, and after his triumphant homecoming, they were
00:49:42planning to raid the sports bar that he owns in two weeks, but they're now going to bring
00:49:46that forward.
00:49:46As in, you persuaded them to?
00:49:48I just thought making a public show of the link between Chris's murder and Scott's activities
00:49:54might shake things up a bit, loosen his grip on the estate.
00:49:57Unless the raid has the opposite effect.
00:50:00He's got titans, his grip.
00:50:02We're rolling the dice.
00:50:03No doubt.
00:50:07Get us off!
00:50:08Get us off!
00:50:10Get us off!
00:50:12Get us off!
00:50:13As far as I've got, you know, thanks for yourself, our grace.
00:50:16The drugs team's interest is very much your own doing, but I'm arresting you for the
00:50:19assault of Drew Simpson.
00:50:38Okay, my working theory is this, not only did you catch Drew dealing your drugs up in
00:50:47Preston Park, but you realised that the wraps were diluted with God knows what. It was degrading
00:50:54your product, and by extension, your reputation. And we can't have that, can we?
00:51:02So you had Brett Moseley give Drew a beating? And when he filled the sea sense and sold on
00:51:07Pavilion Green, you changed tack. Go after his brother, Chris.
00:51:12How are we doing so far? Come on, you can help me, Scott. Nothing happens on that estate
00:51:18without you knowing about it. Give me something. At least make an effort. At least try.
00:51:27Well, like you did. Tried your best.
00:51:33I did, Scott. I really did.
00:51:45Two things might be linked. Might not. And what I know, Chris weren't involved in dealing.
00:51:57Not for me, not for anyone. And you expect us to take your word for that?
00:52:01Even if Drew seriously pissed me off, why would I take it out on his brother and draw all this
00:52:07seat?
00:52:10Okay.
00:52:12What's the second thing?
00:52:14Where's Calwin?
00:52:17Repeat customer.
00:52:19Someone done him over.
00:52:21Three nights ago.
00:52:22Who?
00:52:23I don't know.
00:52:25We said it was some clean cut kid.
00:52:27But for what it's worth,
00:52:30we said just scored off a Drew Simpson.
00:52:34Let's say he's telling the truth about Chris not dealing.
00:52:37If Scott didn't frame Drew with a rap, then who did?
00:52:41Well, someone, for whatever reason,
00:52:43wants us to believe that Chris's murder was drug-related.
00:52:49Call the lab. I want all forensics double-checked,
00:52:51especially Chris's prints on the rap.
00:52:58Where's Calwin?
00:53:00Healthy record.
00:53:01Petty thefts. Breaking and entering. A few assaults.
00:53:04There's also a report on the record about an incident that happened on the edge of the Chelsea
00:53:07mistake today. PC saw a man, who they believed was Wes, throw a wheel at the windscreen of a blue
00:53:13car.
00:53:13Did the PC question the driver?
00:53:15It sped off, crashing into some bins and they haven't come forward.
00:53:18It's odd that the driver didn't report it. The place was crawling with police.
00:53:23Okay, if Scott is right and Wes was attacked three nights ago, it's likely the windscreen incident is connected.
00:53:29So there actually was a leak at the Seifer Boat Club.
00:53:32They showed me the water damage, but it doesn't give Owens an alibi or anything like it.
00:53:36The lab came back.
00:53:38Melted plastic from our burned-out getaway car is a match to swabs taken from Tarak Prasad's head wound.
00:53:45Both contain identical synthetic polymer.
00:53:47I think our raiders are using synthetic guns.
00:53:53Jesus.
00:53:55Yeah, changes everything.
00:53:58Sales of 3D printers being what they are, makes tracing guns like these near impossible.
00:54:043D guns don't fit with Owens.
00:54:06His laptop belongs in a museum.
00:54:08Plus, all his convictions are old school.
00:54:11Uniform turned his place upside down.
00:54:13Definitely didn't mention anything about 3D guns or printers or anything.
00:54:18Any way we cut this, the case against Owens is weakening.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:44Hey.
00:54:49Hey.
00:54:50Hey.
00:54:52Hey.
00:54:55Hey.
00:54:56Hey.
00:54:59Hey.
00:55:00Hey.
00:55:01Hey.
00:55:02Hey.
00:55:02Hey.
00:55:04Hey.
00:55:05Hey.
00:55:05Hey.
00:55:07Hey.
00:55:15.
00:55:19Can I lay those statements for me, yeah?
00:55:22Victim is an Alan Bernard.
00:55:25Single gunshot to the head.
00:55:27Witnesses all agree that the shooter was wearing a bright white skull mask.
00:55:31The only one on the four who was.
00:55:33So it must be our guys.
00:55:34Which begs the question.
00:55:36Are we completely off target with Owens as he's still in custody?
00:55:40His lawyer's been chasing.
00:55:41Wants to know if we're gonna release him.
00:55:43So what do you wanna do?
00:55:57Now look at this fool.
00:56:01Be surprised if he didn't sustain a facial injury.
00:56:06Odd that they didn't wait for the heat to die down after the money exchange job.
00:56:11I mean, they might look like pros, but pros would have had a cooling off period.
00:56:18Yeah, exactly.
00:56:19The 3D guns give it a new spin, but at its core, it's armed robbery.
00:56:23It feels like an old man's game.
00:56:25So your man Gary Owens, he fits the bill?
00:56:27Yeah, but he was in custody at the time of this morning's robbery, so we've had to let him go.
00:56:31You never told me how he came to your attention.
00:56:38Spinella.
00:56:40Kevin Spinella?
00:56:41Yeah, I mean, it's like you said.
00:56:43We need an inn at the boat club and Spinella, he provided one.
00:56:46In return for what?
00:56:48Rehabilitation.
00:56:50As a crime reporter, wait, I didn't sign a contract with him.
00:56:53In what universe do you think it's okay to trust Spinella?
00:56:56Does he know which case you're working on?
00:56:57He guessed.
00:56:58Oh, so now that they've killed someone, expect him to collect.
00:57:02I mean, talk about a scoop.
00:57:04This is not rehabilitation, this is resurrection.
00:57:06After everything we went through with Cassian, you think it's okay to bring Spinella back in?
00:57:12Why?
00:57:13Call it a necessary evil.
00:57:15It's a bit like getting intel from a drug dealer, and by all accounts, a murderer.
00:57:24Did you know about this?
00:57:26Look, it's not on Nick.
00:57:27He warned me it was a bad idea.
00:57:28Oh.
00:57:29Well, he's just been promoted.
00:57:31I thought maybe he could learn something from you.
00:57:33Maybe I should have put him in charge.
00:57:37Roy.
00:57:39The lab's rerun forensics on Chris Hayton, and Cleo's spotted something on the report says it's urgent.
00:57:45Okay.
00:57:47I'll go now.
00:57:48I'll walk out with you.
00:57:50There's been a spotting of Wes Cowan on the estate.
00:58:04Can you make it go any faster?
00:58:14Right.
00:58:15Assemble it and clean this shit up, yeah?
00:58:17Carefully.
00:58:18We're not leaving any breadcrumbs for the cops to find.
00:58:20I need all these...
00:58:31Look, um...
00:58:32I'm sorry that I dropped you into this.
00:58:36It's all good.
00:58:39Harry Owens was a solid punt.
00:58:42Guys.
00:58:43The appeal posters from the money exchange robbery.
00:58:45They've got us some dash cam footage of the street outside.
00:58:58Here.
00:58:59Wait.
00:59:00A reminder?
00:59:04Looks like we have another witness.
00:59:08Chris Hayton had a blue helmet just like that.
00:59:13And the moped, Brighton Slice.
00:59:15Chris used to work for them.
00:59:16I can't see a reg.
00:59:17Yeah, but we can check and see if that shows up on any ANPR cameras nearby.
00:59:21So what are we saying here?
00:59:23Are we saying that Chris Hayton, the murder victim from the Chelmsham estate, is in fact a witness to the
00:59:28money exchange robbery?
00:59:29Maybe that's what got him killed.
00:59:32V, can you talk to the pizza company?
00:59:34Check if Chris was working in the area around the time of the robbery.
00:59:37Right.
00:59:41Right before he was killed, Chris met up with his mate, John.
00:59:44Bella said that she had the sense that John was covering for him.
00:59:48Okay, so what if Chris confided in him?
00:59:50Yeah, but then why wouldn't John just come forward?
00:59:53Well, scared, maybe.
00:59:54Didn't want to meet the same fate.
00:59:56We need to talk to John.
00:59:58Yeah, I'll call Roy.
00:59:58No.
00:59:59I'll go.
01:00:00I owe him.
01:00:01It's on me.
01:00:03Plus, the robbery, that's our case, okay?
01:00:05Whatever Chris may have seen, we need to know.
01:00:10The lab found no prints other than Drew's and Chris's.
01:00:15And the ridge marks on Chris's prints are blurry and slightly overlapping.
01:00:20Which wouldn't happen if he'd just picked the wrap up.
01:00:24Exactly.
01:00:26And there are subtle marks which could have come from the scratches Chris sustained when he fell forward.
01:00:31Which would indicate that someone pressed his hand against the wrap after he died.
01:00:36Someone's trying to reframe Chris's murder to misdirect us. Why?
01:00:41What is it that they then want us to see?
01:00:48Just spoke to the lab.
01:00:49They ran CCTV from both robberies through forensic gate analysis.
01:00:53One of the mass robbers from the building society had a short stocky build.
01:00:57It doesn't match with any of the robbers from the money exchange.
01:01:00So they swapped one of them out?
01:01:01Yeah, possibly two.
01:01:11Why would they change personnel between the raids?
01:01:15Maybe that's why they forfeit the cooling off period.
01:01:17The second raid exonerates Gary Owens and leads directly to his release.
01:01:22If this morning's raid was about establishing an alibi, he would have had to arrange that from inside the custody
01:01:28cell.
01:01:37Is he handing him something?
01:01:42Bingo.
01:01:43He's making a call.
01:01:45The guy who lent Gary Owens' phone is still in custody.
01:01:49John came off his bike this morning.
01:01:51He's having to lie down upstairs and generally feeling sorry for himself.
01:01:56Cannot wait.
01:01:57Afraid not.
01:01:59It's related to Chris Hayden.
01:02:01Yeah, of course.
01:02:03He's just up the stairs, top floor.
01:02:12John?
01:02:16Hey.
01:02:17Detective Inspector Branson.
01:02:19Sorry, I'm not feeling too great, actually.
01:02:22So I heard, you came off your bike?
01:02:26Yeah.
01:02:27And I think I've told you all I can about Chris.
01:02:31Sure, it's just a couple of things have come to light.
01:02:45The night that Chris was killed, you'd met up earlier, is that right?
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:51Here I told the other detective that.
01:02:54Yeah, sure.
01:02:57Did he seem scared?
01:02:59Shaken up?
01:03:02I don't know, maybe like he wanted to confide something.
01:03:08No, he was fine.
01:03:10Just stressed about getting ready for uni, that's all.
01:03:18Is that Chris?
01:03:20Yeah.
01:03:23And your dad?
01:03:25Oh, my stepdad, Damien.
01:03:27Who were the others?
01:03:28That's Seb and Luke.
01:03:31Just some friends of mine.
01:03:38Excuse me.
01:03:41Nick, can you keep it brief?
01:03:42Owens might still be in the frame.
01:03:44How so?
01:03:44He made a call from his custody cell at 10.30pm.
01:03:48The guy whose phone he borrowed said it got pretty heated with whoever was on the other end.
01:03:53Is there anything specific?
01:03:54Yeah, apparently Owens said something like, if I don't get my way, I'll tell the police about Hugo.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03Any more?
01:04:04Forensic gate analysis.
01:04:06It suggests that there was one new robber at the building society, maybe even two.
01:04:11But the one confirmed new addition was shorter and stockier.
01:04:15We're thinking he was maybe filling in to give Owens an alibi.
01:04:19Thanks.
01:04:24How would the gang have ID'd Chris from a fleeting encounter in the street?
01:04:29Well, maybe they've fallen home.
01:04:31Risky.
01:04:32And even if they did, we know Drew's rap was stolen three days ago.
01:04:36Chris's phone was at home all afternoon the day he died.
01:04:39And his manager said he wasn't working a shift that day.
01:04:41ANPR cameras also picked up the ridge of the moped further along the street about 60 seconds after the gang
01:04:46drove off.
01:04:46The plates weren't Chris's.
01:04:48For Chris wasn't the driver.
01:04:50No, and if he wasn't at work the day he died, that means he lied to his parents about where
01:04:54he was.
01:04:54We know he only did deliveries sporadically, and it seems he wasn't dealing, so where was he getting his money
01:04:59from?
01:05:00If he wasn't dealing drugs, then why would he need a burner?
01:05:04Get the forensic gate analysis footage up again.
01:05:17So what if the lab was right, and there was a second switchover at the building society?
01:05:22So two of the original money exchange robbers were swapped out.
01:05:26If one of them was Owens, what if the other was Chris?
01:05:34He was one of them.
01:05:36He was one of them.
01:05:46John.
01:05:48Did you ever come across someone called Gary Owens at the basketball court?
01:05:54Nah.
01:05:59Wait, um, no. Gary. Yeah. Just someone to say hello to. I think Damien introduced us.
01:06:08How about someone called, uh, Hugo?
01:06:14My dad was called Hugo.
01:06:17Was?
01:06:19He's dead, your dad, is that right?
01:06:22Yeah.
01:06:23Sorry to hear that.
01:06:25Do you mind me asking how?
01:06:29He, uh, worked in the city, and he got done for insider trading.
01:06:35And then everything spiralled.
01:06:40Spiralled? How?
01:06:45He got into drugs.
01:06:48Coke, cat, everything.
01:06:51Mum kicked him out, but he kept coming back, or trying to, at least.
01:06:56So, yeah, eventually he, uh, moved up to London.
01:07:05Then one night, he, uh, threw himself off a bridge behind Paddington.
01:07:13The, the, the train mangled him so bad, he had to be ID'd by his teeth.
01:07:26And then Damien came along.
01:07:29He was like a miracle.
01:07:33Everything got better, everything calmed down after, after all the mess with Dad.
01:07:42John.
01:07:43John.
01:07:45Did your dad die before or after your mum started seeing Damien?
01:07:52After?
01:07:55Why, why are you asking me about Dad?
01:07:59Listen.
01:08:02Best continue this chat.
01:08:04Back at the station.
01:08:06Don't care.
01:08:11Chris's phone data shows no activity during the time of the robbery.
01:08:14And then there's the group chat he's got with his friends, John, Seb and Luke.
01:08:18Constantly active, and then nothing during the time of the money exchange, though.
01:08:21Hang on, pull up the data coinciding with the whole of burglaries.
01:08:25The evenings of the 19th of March and 8th and 24th of April.
01:08:31Nothing on any of those dates.
01:08:32So these kids are the armed robbers?
01:08:37If they are, why did Chris end up dead?
01:08:39His mum said he seemed withdrawn recently.
01:08:42And on the night he died, the night of the robbery, she said that she felt like he needed her
01:08:46again, like he wanted to share something.
01:08:48Which makes me wonder, is Chris the one that freezes?
01:08:54Maybe he'd had enough, the violence was the last straw, and he wanted out.
01:08:59Yeah, but that wouldn't have been straightforward.
01:09:00No, no, he would have been a loose end that needed tying up.
01:09:03He'd have been a liability.
01:09:05Maggie also said that Chris had felt very self-sufficient for the last year, like he didn't need his folks.
01:09:10So maybe someone stepped in to play that parental role.
01:09:14Gary Owens.
01:09:16Maybe.
01:09:16Or whoever stood in for him.
01:09:20The second swap.
01:09:23We need to find out who Owens called from his custody cell.
01:09:39What's happening?
01:09:40Are you taking it?
01:09:41It's okay, Ma.
01:09:42I just need to show him some photos back at the station.
01:09:45What photos?
01:09:46Persons of interest he may have seen with Chris.
01:09:48I'll be sure to keep you updated.
01:09:58Glenn, listen.
01:09:59Nick, you need to look into John's stepdad, Damien Young.
01:10:02The Hugo that Gary was referring to is John's dad.
01:10:04He went under the wheels of a train.
01:10:06I believe Damien might be behind Hugo's death.
01:10:08I'm bringing John in.
01:10:09I don't think he can talk freely with his stepdad around.
01:10:11I think that Damien might be involved in the raids.
01:10:13Yeah, we think John himself may be involved.
01:10:15Wait, Eddie.
01:10:25Okay, Hugo Tylerson.
01:10:28Death by misadventure.
01:10:30But the police report is interesting.
01:10:32A witness heard shouting right before he hit the tracks.
01:10:35No one looked at foul play.
01:10:36They did.
01:10:36But the only viable suspect was Hugo's dealer.
01:10:39And he had an alibi.
01:10:40Gary Owens was overheard saying he'd tell the police about Hugo.
01:10:44Could it be Damien that he was calling from inside the custody cell?
01:10:47If Damien killed Hugo and Owens knew it, did he use that?
01:10:50And make Damien carry out another robbery to exonerate him?
01:10:55Keep digging.
01:11:13Joel and Henry and Hiroac –
01:11:34Jack get down!
01:11:37John-a-lah muerte?
01:11:54Oh, shit.
01:12:11You're okay. John, you're okay.
01:13:07Oh, shit.
01:13:08Then he borrowed heavily to launch a security company that blew up on the launch pad.
01:13:13He went bankrupt.
01:13:14It gets worse. His wife, Polly, divorced him, and despite her dropping an assault charge,
01:13:19he fought tooth and nail for custody of their son. He didn't win.
01:13:24So, thrown out the army. No money, no status, no son.
01:13:29That's a big haul to fill.
01:13:30Yeah, huge.
01:13:32So, I don't think it was Gary who was the parental guide for Chris.
01:13:36No, I think Damien went looking for a son and he found John.
01:13:40He found his friends as well.
01:13:42So, what were you saying? That Damien was the ringleader?
01:13:44That he masterminded all the break-ins and the robberies?
01:13:47He didn't get his hands dirty until he had to.
01:13:50What is it?
01:13:51I'm trying to identify the blue car from the Wes Cowan incident.
01:13:55Some of the glass retrieved from the scene came from the headlight of a Vauxhall Astra.
01:14:00John's mate Seb drives a blue Vauxhall Astra.
01:14:03I saw him yesterday outside Chris's house.
01:14:05Roy, I've got Wes Cowan in the interview room.
01:14:23I've got Wes Cowan.
01:14:24I can't.
01:14:26I can't.
01:14:26I can't.
01:14:27I can't go on much longer.
01:14:30It's OK.
01:14:30Come on, come on.
01:14:31Come on, come on.
01:14:31Yes, yes.
01:14:33Hey, this way.
01:14:46Shh.
01:15:03Give me your phone.
01:15:04I left John George in my room.
01:15:09John, look at me.
01:15:12Who's under the mask?
01:15:13Who is trying to shit us?
01:15:34You see, I told me it's done.
01:15:36Is the cleanup in motion?
01:15:37Yes.
01:15:38Yes, sir.
01:15:39I'm sorry.
01:15:41I'm doing it.
01:15:42Go back and wipe it down when you've delivered the package, understood?
01:15:46Or do I have to come over there and do it myself?
01:15:48No, no.
01:15:49I'm on it.
01:15:51On it, sir.
01:15:58So you scored a rap from Drew Simpson, only to be jumped by some kid who stole it.
01:16:04And you saw the same kid driving around the estate a couple of days later,
01:16:07and you lobbed a wheel at his windscreen.
01:16:09Nah, no way.
01:16:11Honestly, Wes, we don't care about that.
01:16:14This kid could be up on a murder charge. That's what we care about.
01:16:17So why don't we forget about the windscreen and the rap?
01:16:19And you look at these photos and pick out a face.
01:16:36Hey.
01:16:38I am really worried about Glenn.
01:16:40I can't get hold of him.
01:16:41He said he was getting in the car and he was heading right here.
01:16:44He should be back by now.
01:16:47We've had reports of gunshots and a silver car driving erratically on the Ovingding Road.
01:16:52From there to CID, there can't be more than three or four credible routes between them.
01:16:56I want marked cars sweeping them now.
01:17:00Okay.
01:17:04Hey, hold it tight.
01:17:12Listen.
01:17:13If you don't want me to leave you here, you need to start talking.
01:17:17Now.
01:17:22It's Seb.
01:17:24Seb?
01:17:28Was it Seb you shot that customer?
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:41I mean, I think so.
01:17:43Or was it Damien?
01:17:46Damien was at home with Mum.
01:17:47Of course he was.
01:17:48Firming up his alibi.
01:17:49Bye.
01:17:57Seb was always desperate to impress him.
01:18:00You know, I wanted to be Damien's number two.
01:18:03We were just all lost, really.
01:18:06As he was working through life.
01:18:07Oh, and Damien woke you up?
01:18:09Yeah.
01:18:12One Sunday he dragged us up, Titchlin' Beacon.
01:18:15Basic training, Damien called it.
01:18:18But the challenges...
01:18:21They just got more demanding.
01:18:23But it was addictive.
01:18:26No more.
01:18:27He started asking you to commit crimes.
01:18:30He wanted to show us what we were capable of.
01:18:34There was nothing we couldn't do if we put our minds to it.
01:18:36He just wanted us to do our best.
01:18:39You didn't want to disappoint him.
01:18:41What about Chris?
01:18:44Did he disappoint him?
01:18:47Yeah.
01:18:49Chris wanted out after the first robbery.
01:18:53But Damien weren't happy.
01:18:54He said quit and won an option.
01:18:58Because you don't get to just walk away.
01:19:12What can I do for you?
01:19:23My colleague, Glenn Branson, left here over an hour ago with John.
01:19:27And they never made it back.
01:19:29I suspect they were ambushed by Seb Willis.
01:19:32Who is armed and dangerous.
01:19:35Maybe they're stuck in traffic.
01:19:37Out of range.
01:19:42Come on, you must be able to relate to what I'm feeling.
01:19:45One of your men in danger, off comms.
01:19:48I think you're being a bit of a catastrophist.
01:19:51We're in Sussex.
01:19:52On a Tuesday afternoon.
01:19:56Alright, enough.
01:19:58You're the only one who can talk Seb down.
01:20:00I can't confirm any of these wild theories.
01:20:15I need to ask you some questions about your late husband, Hugo.
01:20:20You know there were question marks over his death?
01:20:23Oh yeah.
01:20:24The detectives at Paddington thought he might have had a running with his dealer.
01:20:28And they may have been right about foul play.
01:20:31But wrong about the identity of the perpetrator.
01:20:34What?
01:20:35A friend of Damien's was overheard threatening him.
01:20:38Saying he'd tell the police about Hugo.
01:20:40No.
01:20:42No.
01:20:42You're making it up.
01:20:44What have you never wondered?
01:20:46Even for a second, if Damien had a hand in Hugo's death.
01:20:50That's an absurd idea, okay?
01:20:52Damien is the best thing that ever happened to me and John.
01:20:55End of story.
01:21:14John, me?
01:21:15It's me.
01:21:17Where are you, brother?
01:21:22Wherever that cop has told you,
01:21:25if we take him out,
01:21:26we're in the clear.
01:21:29I've come to help you.
01:21:33Here.
01:21:36Seb.
01:21:38Oh yeah.
01:21:51That's for Chris, you bastards.
01:21:53Sweet!
01:21:58John!
01:22:00John, wait!
01:22:02If you want to see John again, you need to trust me, Carol.
01:22:07Did Damien tell you to lie about where he was this morning,
01:22:09in the event the police should ask?
01:22:17Things got pretty bad for you, didn't they?
01:22:19So finding Carol and John, that must have felt like a second chance.
01:22:22You wanted Carol all to yourself.
01:22:24John needed a father.
01:22:26Hugo was just in the way, wasn't he?
01:22:28Then, when you finally got your hands dirty at the building society raid,
01:22:32I think you were forced by Gary Owens, who blackmailed you over Hugo's murder.
01:22:38Gary's just a guy I got to know playing basketball.
01:22:41Look, whatever you've done, I know you're a good man.
01:22:46And that deep down, you want what's best for me and John.
01:22:49Especially John.
01:22:51So if there's anything you could do to help him, anything, I beg you to do it.
01:22:59V.
01:22:59The last cell data from Glenn's phone pinged at the old Pisteen school building.
01:23:03We're sending firearms there now.
01:23:04Okay, thanks.
01:23:09That's you, isn't it, Damien?
01:23:12Forensic gait analysis is just one of the ways that we are going to prove it.
01:23:17Call Seb and stand him down.
01:23:20You need to save your stepson.
01:23:22And you need to do it now.
01:24:03There's a fire exit.
01:24:04Thanks.
01:24:07Stop!
01:24:12Kneel down on the ground and place your hands behind your backs.
01:24:18Do it!
01:24:32Seb, why?
01:24:33Why did you kill Chris?
01:24:34Chris!
01:24:35Chris was going to snitch and he got what was coming to him.
01:24:39Damien knew I was the only one with the balls to do it.
01:24:41Just think about what you're doing.
01:24:44But why is it that you're wielding that gun and not Damien?
01:24:47And why are you cleaning up the mess?
01:24:50Taking all that risk?
01:24:52It's because he doesn't care.
01:24:56He does not give a toss about you.
01:25:03Sir?
01:25:04Seb.
01:25:05How are you?
01:25:05I've got the situation under control, sir.
01:25:09Both parties neutralized.
01:25:11Neutralized?
01:25:13Pin down, sir.
01:25:15What should I do?
01:25:21Did you hear that?
01:25:23Don't let John go, please.
01:25:27I can't lose him.
01:25:28I can't lose him.
01:25:32You see,
01:25:34what you don't understand
01:25:38is that a lot of young men feel worthless these days.
01:25:41Ashamed even.
01:25:43Like they've committed some unpardonable sin before they were even born.
01:25:49And if we deny these lads any sense of self-worth,
01:25:55I can blame them if they can't grab it.
01:25:58With predictably messy results.
01:26:07Kill them both.
01:26:19You can't!
01:26:21No!
01:26:21No!
01:26:23No!
01:26:23No!
01:26:24I hate you!
01:26:25I hate you!
01:26:27I hate you!
01:26:36John, put the gun down.
