00:00:00You
00:00:38Come on!
00:00:43Let's go!
00:00:44Move your ass!
00:00:46Scope.
00:00:58Hurry up!
00:01:00Come on!
00:01:26How was work?
00:01:28You know, same old.
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.
00:01:44Which was a salad.
00:01:45Yeah.
00:01:46Cheers.
00:01:49Mmm.
00:01:55Mmm.
00:01:57We finished?
00:01:58Yeah.
00:01:59Well, we've only just sat down.
00:02:00I'm meeting John for a run on the seafront.
00:02:02But your mum's...
00:02:02Brian!
00:02:04See you later, love.
00:02:23What?
00:02:36Get out!
00:02:37No, no, just 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... it's not you.
00:02:53He's been anxious about school since the suspension,
00:02:57and what was the wedding a few days away?
00:03:00He's got a lot on.
00:03:02Yeah.
00:03:04Maybe you haven't given him enough attention.
00:03:06That makes two of us.
00:03:12Oh, I'm needed at the mortuary.
00:03:15I'm on call, so...
00:03:17It's okay, you go.
00:03:18I'll get Glenn to cover for me tonight.
00:03:21Sure?
00:03:22Absolutely.
00:03:35Congratulations 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.
00:03:46One of the others 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, if 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, and sod all cash in a register.
00:04:17Who's bucking the trend?
00:04:20I mean, the kind of villain that's bold enough for a job like this.
00:04:24You're a dying breed.
00:04:36You're a dying breed.
00:04:56Chris Hayton, 19, and 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.
00:05:33When 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.
00:05:48Yeah.
00:05:49Chris!
00:05:50Okay, we need to talk to them, but in the meantime, could you?
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:55Chris!
00:05:59Roy?
00:06:03I'm listening to this pocket.
00:06:05What's this? Coke?
00:06:07Heroin, maybe?
00:06:09I'm listening to this pocket.
00:06:10Oh, my God!
00:06:11Oh, my God!
00:06:13Oh, my God!
00:06:14Oh, my God!
00:06:19Chris had absolutely nothing to do with drugs.
00:06:22Nothing.
00:06:23Okay.
00:06:25What about enemies?
00:06:26Somebody he might have had a run in the window.
00:06:27He didn't have an enemy in the world.
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.
00:06:52And 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?
00:07:13His moped.
00:07:15It's still parked outside.
00:07:19Oh.
00:07:20Chris is on our system, albeit once.
00:07:24At 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...
00:07:34Who'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 of a while.
00:07:42He used Chris as a delivery boy.
00:07:44It was over five years ago.
00:07:44Chris 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.
00:08:09Mitchell would have taken some force.
00:08:12He 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 discoloration, 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.
00:08:59I'm into a light to worry about Munich.
00:09:00I know that's difficult.
00:09:01It was my choice.
00:09:03But whilst we're closing in our bases,
00:09:05best 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,
00:09:24and Chris has a history of running for him when he was younger.
00:09:28So as we speak, the Charleston mistake has been canvas 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.
00:09:40But 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 Sornoff'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?
00:10:31Still reviewing the traffic cam footage.
00:10:34And 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 S-24 secure van back in 2004 to the tune of 400K.
00:10:47He shot the driver point blank in his face, and somehow he survived.
00:10:51Yeah, I remember that.
00:10:52Did 12 years in Maythorpe 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, we pulled fingerprints and a 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?
00:11:29It was one mistake, and 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, okay?
00:11:54Then someone I used to work for came back to Brighton looking to collect.
00:11:57A scary bastard you did not say no to.
00:12:01And did the scary bastard inflict those bruises on your eye?
00:12:04Reckon 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.
00:12:13So 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, you know?
00:12:50Before he went to uni.
00:12:52But the grief I got from Brighton wasn't worth the hassle.
00:12:56If you want to do right by your brother,
00:13:00you need to tell us who you work for right now.
00:13:05I tell you that.
00:13:07And I'm dead too.
00:13:11If he's telling the truth, then Chris got hauled in that rap without doing the one.
00:13:16Or Drew's lying, and he did pull Chris into running drugs for him because 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 and 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, he did seem genuinely scared.
00:13:46You have no nerve to come here today, when 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 going to find out who did this, okay?
00:14:06Okay?
00:14:30I'll leave you with PC Morgan.
00:14:32Okay, thank you.
00:14:35A 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.
00:15:00Okay, 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 got to do first.
00:15:07Okay.
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, all second homes, and all taking place inside the same two-month period.
00:15:31So 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.
00:15:38In 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.
00:15:56Housebreakers, all 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, S-24 job, only 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.
00:16:49Hello, Scott.
00:16:52Constable Grace.
00:16:53How you been?
00:16:56You look like you did well for yourself.
00:16:59Was Drew Simpson dealing for you?
00:17:02You're supposed to say.
00:17:04And you look like you did okay too, Scott.
00:17:07You see, I think he was.
00:17:09And I think you, or someone in your pay,
00:17:13gave him those bruises.
00:17:15I don't get it.
00:17:17Why beat Drew up?
00:17:18Was he late paying you back or something?
00:17:21Do I need to get myself a lawyer?
00:17:23I don't know Scott, do you?
00:17:27Look, after him, it's really not a stretch for me to believe that you went after his brother.
00:17:32You must be able to see that.
00:17:34Or, did you rope Chris into dealing for you and something went wrong?
00:17:40Let me make this very simple, yeah?
00:17:43I don't know Chris Hayton at all.
00:17:47Yeah, come on.
00:17:49You grew up with his brother.
00:17:51The estate's not that big.
00:17:53On my radar, I don't know what else to tell you.
00:17:58How's your sister?
00:18:01Debbie?
00:18:03Did she go to Manchester with you?
00:18:06I heard that you came back to clear out the London dealers.
00:18:11Restore order.
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:15Yeah, that's the Scott that I remember.
00:18:17Leader and organizer.
00:18:19Someone that looked out for his sister.
00:18:22While his mom and dad were strung out on heroin.
00:18:25Yeah, look after my own.
00:18:28It's a shame that you channeled those talents into the very thing that killed your parents.
00:18:37I had to look after myself.
00:18:39Fight for myself.
00:18:41Because all I ever got from people like you were broken promises.
00:18:46Especially you, Grace.
00:18:52Teenager.
00:18:55Stabbed to death.
00:18:56Hundred yards from his own front door.
00:18:58That's not looking out for your own, is it?
00:19:03It's nice seeing you again.
00:19:10If you had anything to do with Chris's death, I'll find out.
00:19:17And you will go down for it.
00:19:20Hmm.
00:19:27Let's go.
00:19:29Come on.
00:19:35Hey.
00:19:37Oh, my God.
00:20:26Oh, shit.
00:20:30Lee, have you got anything?
00:20:32Yes and no.
00:20:34The older of the two is Lenny Palmer.
00:20:36Hickson's wingman on the S-24 secure job.
00:20:38No ID on the younger one yet?
00:20:40No.
00:20:41Nothing on the system.
00:20:43All right.
00:20:44Thanks.
00:20:45Thanks.
00:20:58Let's go.
00:21:16Let's go.
00:21:49You're so dead.
00:21:51Don't be stupid.
00:22:02I'll just grab my stuff and I'll get set up.
00:22:17Didn't know HMP Eastfield was short an ex-robe reporter.
00:22:21What the hell are you doing here?
00:22:22I can ask you the exact same question.
00:22:26Well, what are you doing here, Spinella?
00:22:29Recording a podcast.
00:22:31My podcast.
00:22:32A pod...
00:22:34About what?
00:22:36Hmm?
00:22:36Boat clubs?
00:22:38Old Brighton faces.
00:22:40Doing a deep dive into the underworld of yesteryear.
00:22:43Okay, if I come in and verify that.
00:22:44Come on, give me a break.
00:22:47Thanks to you and Grace, my career's in the toilet.
00:22:50I need this.
00:22:52You know what?
00:22:52I need something too.
00:22:55Intel on the clientele here.
00:22:58Particularly Higson and his three mates.
00:23:03Why would I help you?
00:23:04Look, if you want to hit reset as a crime journalist, you're going to need sources.
00:23:08Fresh meat.
00:23:10Someone who can vouch for your rehabilitation.
00:23:14And you're the man to deliver all that.
00:23:16Yeah, I am.
00:23:20Plus, I would hate to be the one to ruin your little recording session here.
00:23:28Tomorrow morning.
00:23:30I'm back doing my last interview.
00:23:33Meet me in the cafe up there.
00:23:37For God's sake, don't let anyone see you.
00:23:44Two kids coming home every night to a cold house, no food.
00:23:48And a pair of addicts on the sofa who just happened to be their parents.
00:23:52I mean, you would think there'd be some kind of protocol triggered, you know?
00:23:56Or like a safety net or something.
00:23:59You would.
00:24:00And so I promised I would get them rehoused.
00:24:04I tried to liaise with their social worker who was decent, but overwhelmed.
00:24:13I was just passed from pillar to post.
00:24:17So, what happened?
00:24:21I was transferred.
00:24:24That's what happened.
00:24:27And you felt guilt about that?
00:24:31Like you had let him down?
00:24:33He grew up to be a drug dealer, Cleo.
00:24:37Have you ever thought that that guilt is in some way linked to your feelings towards Bruno?
00:24:45I'm serious.
00:24:47Every time he's in a bad mood, you think it's your fault.
00:24:56Scott's intelligence file has come through.
00:25:10Not too late, please.
00:25:12OK.
00:25:16Roy, um, you didn't let Scott down.
00:25:21The system did.
00:25:23OK.
00:25:31I'm sorry.
00:25:37Oh, my God.
00:26:15Hey, yeah. We found the robber's getaway car, torched and dumped behind the old ball factory.
00:26:21We sure it's dead?
00:26:23Yeah, we pulled CCTV, them driving it past the lumberyard.
00:26:27Still masked, I'm afraid, but...
00:26:30Get the lab to put a rush on the results from the car.
00:26:32OK, great work. Keep me posted, Yannick.
00:26:34You back at the book hub?
00:26:36Yeah, I'm just following the lead.
00:26:47I just 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.
00:26:56OK.
00:26:59How 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?
00:27:10Yeah, when I worked on the Chelsum.
00:27:12He was just a kid then.
00:27:14Was 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, I think Scott might be using food delivery bikes to shift his product.
00:27:33You think Chris was part of that?
00:27:34I think we should ask that question.
00:27:36And 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 Tylison about a run on the seafront.
00:27:50In 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.
00:28:05I 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?
00:28:18Good lad.
00:28:20Come on.
00:28:20We'll make ourselves scarce.
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.
00:28:48He, uh, left around seven.
00:28:52Can 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.
00:28:58He left his moped behind.
00:29:00There was nothing on his phone.
00:29:02Okay.
00:29:04Okay.
00:29:04So, we have to assume that he was meeting someone close to home, walking distance.
00:29:09Someone who, for some reason, his parents didn't approve of.
00:29:14So, you're asking me, uh, who that was?
00:29:21Uh, his brother, maybe?
00:29:26Drew?
00:29:29Is there anyone else you could have been meeting?
00:29:32Is there anything strange in the way he was behaving when he came over?
00:29:39I have to ask you, John.
00:29:41Why would Chris lie to his parents?
00:29:44Was he involved in something dodgy?
00:29:46Something criminal, even?
00:29:48Nah.
00:29:50Nah, not Chris.
00:29:52No way.
00:29:58You're on that money exchange job, weren't you?
00:30:01Everyone's talking about it.
00:30:03Yeah.
00:30:04I knew it.
00:30:07So, come on.
00:30:09What's the skinny?
00:30:12There might be a link to some break-ins in Hove a few months back.
00:30:17It was a four-man career.
00:30:22So, we're pro quo?
00:30:28David Hickson's the one in the pink.
00:30:31People say that he bought the boat club with the proceeds from the S-24 job.
00:30:36And who's the younger one?
00:30:37Pete Hickson, David's son.
00:30:40Online scams, credit card fraud.
00:30:43I doubt he's in your money exchange job.
00:30:44His dad's proper retired.
00:30:49Who's the other guy?
00:30:51Frank.
00:30:51Frank Kurz.
00:30:53Also, allegedly, on the S-24 job.
00:30:56He beat the charges.
00:30:58Anything more recent?
00:30:59Nah.
00:31:01Nothing, as far as I know.
00:31:03I mean, they're all granddads.
00:31:23I'm so sorry.
00:31:26You know, I lost pals in Afghanistan.
00:31:38They feel empty.
00:31:40Numb.
00:31:41Like, why was it them and not you?
00:31:48But wallowing in it didn't help.
00:31:51You really did have a choice.
00:31:55You could let your emotions eat you up, or...
00:31:59You could put them to good use.
00:32:02Find your purpose again.
00:32:20I checked in with Brighton Slice.
00:32:22Chris did work for them, but recently it was only sporadic.
00:32:25OK.
00:32:26Thanks, V.
00:32:28So...
00:32:29Anything?
00:32:30I've just been speaking to the mother of a girl who ran drugs for Scott who got out.
00:32:35And Scott communicates with his foot soldiers via burners.
00:32:39Text only.
00:32:40Addresses of pick-ups and drop-offs.
00:32:42On paper, they all own their own rope heads and all have jobs delivering food, but part-time.
00:32:47Scott makes up their hours.
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:51Chris fits the building.
00:32:53Come on.
00:32:54Keep the pace up.
00:32:59Yeah, you've got this.
00:33:09Come on.
00:33:23Better.
00:33:29Better.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:37You know...
00:33:39Your mum...
00:33:42She's not completely wrong.
00:33:45I know he was your mate, and...
00:33:48Your will, he does your credit.
00:33:51But you don't know what else he was caught up in.
00:33:54Do you?
00:34:10So who's this, then?
00:34:13Gary Owens.
00:34:14Bit of a groupie when it comes to old villains.
00:34:17What, no form himself?
00:34:18Yeah, a couple of robberies.
00:34:20Everyone treats him like he's a joke.
00:34:23Spends half his time down the basketball court when he's not here.
00:34:26Well, so you think he might be a better candidate?
00:34:29For your house break-ins, maybe.
00:34:32But for your money exchange team,
00:34:34he's got the guts.
00:34:36All the smarts.
00:34:39A few weeks ago, he started wearing that Hublot watch,
00:34:42which raised eyebrows.
00:34:44Ixen told him not to wear it to work.
00:34:46Even in his prime, he hated anything flash.
00:35:04Man.
00:35:13I'm so sorry, Sid.
00:35:15Thanks, Damien.
00:35:16Luke, we should go see Chris's parents.
00:35:18I've got some flowers.
00:35:20Right, yeah.
00:35:21Give me one sec, yeah?
00:35:29Well, I'll see Chris's mum and dad.
00:35:33I don't want you going up there and getting involved.
00:35:35At least give it a few days.
00:35:36Yeah, but, Mum, then it won't mean anything.
00:35:38Look, a friend of mine saw something online about him dealing drugs.
00:35:42Chris.
00:35:44Sorry, Mrs. Tildeson, but that's BS.
00:35:47Chris wasn't into drugs.
00:35:48No, he hated him.
00:35:50Could you do me a wee favour, Seb?
00:35:53Could you give us a minute?
00:35:56You too, John.
00:36:05We should be proud of him.
00:36:06He wants to honour his friend.
00:36:08I am.
00:36:09I just don't want to get him mixed up in anything.
00:36:11I know.
00:36:12He's right.
00:36:13If he delays paying respects out of self-interesting,
00:36:16that won't mean anything.
00:36:19It's just all this shit that Hugo brought down on us.
00:36:23It's just made me paranoid.
00:36:26John is the antithesis of his dad.
00:36:30Honourable to his boots,
00:36:32which is why he wants to go and see Chris's parents.
00:36:36I just don't want any trouble.
00:36:38He's grieving, Carol.
00:36:41This will help him.
00:36:45Yeah.
00:36:50This is the best you boys could do.
00:36:52That's why we need you a lot.
00:36:53You know about flowers and shit.
00:36:56Yeah, they're fine.
00:37:01I hope I'm right about Chris.
00:37:03What do you mean?
00:37:05Look, I'm not saying he was dealing,
00:37:08but it felt like he wanted to build a relationship with his brother.
00:37:11At any price.
00:37:12Maybe that meant helping him out.
00:37:14It tracks.
00:37:15I mean, Chris pissed off someone on the estate.
00:37:19Sorry, just now you said no way Chris was involved in drugs,
00:37:22and now you're saying...
00:37:23I'm not saying anything.
00:37:24Just what I heard.
00:37:26I heard Drew wrote Chris in because he was in trouble.
00:37:28Might be bullets, it might be nothing.
00:37:29Well, it's definitely bullets.
00:37:29I don't know what Chris was involved in.
00:37:32None of us do.
00:37:45Forensics are back on the burnt-out getaway car.
00:37:48Thanks to fire damage, there's no prints or DNA.
00:37:51Why can I feel a butt coming?
00:37:53The lump of melted plastic the soccer's found on the front seat.
00:37:56It contains a mix of polymers that aren't a match to anything in the vehicle.
00:38:00It's probably a foreign object.
00:38:02We found tiny traces of plastic in Tarek Prasad's head wound.
00:38:07Get the lab to compare them with the melted plastic found in the core.
00:38:12Higson might be resurrecting the old S-24 gang,
00:38:14and this time with new blood.
00:38:16So we need to pour everything we can
00:38:18on Gary Owens, Pete Higson and Frank Curtis.
00:38:32Hello, John.
00:38:34Hi, you all right?
00:38:37This is Seven 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?
00:39:01Wait.
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?
00:39:24Sorry.
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.
00:39:44Yeah.
00:39:44A 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.
00:39:53You could have crossed him, displeased 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.
00:40:11Where 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.
00:40:31Well, more recently, he seemed withdrawn.
00:40:33I just put it down to being anxious about uni, you know, him 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 he wanted to share something.
00:40:57I thought, no, I'd let him talk when he's good and ready.
00:41:07Leave it to it.
00:41:15Circulating Drew 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, and Gary Owens?
00:41:45He's the one that stands out.
00:41:47It's a long record of breaking and entering.
00:41:50Plus, you said he was rocking a Hublot watch recently?
00:41:52Yeah.
00:41:52One was stolen at the last of the three Hope burglaries.
00:41:55Nice.
00:41:56And the timing fits, too.
00:41:58I've sent you in a uniform to keep tabs on him.
00:42:00Great.
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.
00:42:20I thought he was in prison.
00:42:22Yeah, well, so did I.
00:42:23Early release.
00:42:24Look, he came to an arrangement of mutual benefit.
00:42:28At least that's what he thinks, anyway.
00:42:30And why do we think Grace is going to make of that?
00:42:33Any sort of interaction with Kevin Spinello, let alone an arrangement.
00:42:38It's fine.
00:42:43I'll have sent over cleaned up footage from the Hove burglary.
00:43:02You are kidding me.
00:43:05Ed, very similar, no?
00:43:08Huh, yeah.
00:43:09Yeah, I'd say Gary is shaping up nicely.
00:43:12Right, let's arrest him for the break-ins, and let's see if we can pin him to the money exchange
00:43:16job.
00:43:28I'm just worried that Spinello's setting us up for a fall.
00:43:31We 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.
00:43:47Yeah, I'll be all right to me.
00:43:49I don't know, but I need help.
00:43:51I 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 my fault.
00:44:42I was an idiot.
00:44:45I started 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.
00:45:35If Scott killed Chris to punish Drew, planting the wrap on Chris's body doesn't seem a stretch.
00:45:41Final 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.
00:46:16What?
00:46:16He's such a junkie.
00:46:17It's not worth the hassle.
00:46:21Let'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?
00:46:41The tattoo 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, between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.?
00:47:16I was at the Seaford 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, saw it.
00:47:23So you're on your own?
00:47:25So what about your mates at the boat club?
00:47:27Where were they?
00:47:29What mates?
00:47:30Dave Higson, Pete Higson, Lenny Palmer, Frank Curtis?
00:47:33I didn'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?
00:48:06Who was that guy?
00:48:07I don't know.
00:48:08Yeah, well, he knew you.
00:48:09Yeah, and what's with just letting him go?
00:48:11I don't need the grief, okay?
00:48:13Since when was that your style?
00:48:17You're starting 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.
00:48:26No.
00:48:26No, no, no.
00:48:27Chris never mentioned it.
00:48:28Well, clearly, you didn't know Chris as well as you thought you did.
00:48:30You're so full of it.
00:48:32Take it.
00:48:33Hey!
00:48:33Guys, guys, guys!
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?
00:48:52Long story, but 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 might have been
00:49:09one of them.
00:49:09When we spoke to his mate, John, about what Chris was involved in, we seemed to hit a nerve, like
00:49:15he was hiding something.
00:49:16And Scott had Chris's brother, Drew, beaten up for dealing on the side, and it also seems that Drew didn't
00:49:22quite heed the warning.
00:49:23Yeah, but isn't beating someone up and then killing their brother quite an escalation?
00:49:29True, but drug dealers are not known for their patience.
00:49:32Especially 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 planning to raid the sports
00:49:43bar that he owns in two weeks, but they're now going to bring that 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 might shake things up
00:49:56a bit, loosen his grip on the estate.
00:49:57Unless the raid has the opposite effect.
00:50:00It's got Titans, his grip.
00:50:02We're rolling the dice.
00:50:03No doubt.
00:50:07Get us off!
00:50:08Get down!
00:50:10Get us off!
00:50:12Get us off!
00:50:14I suppose I've got you to thank you to finish up our grace.
00:50:16The drugs team's interest is very much your own doing, but I'm arresting you for the assault of Drew Simpson.
00:50:20Get us on.
00:50:37Okay.
00:50:40My working theory is this.
00:50:43Not only did you catch Drew dealing your drugs up in Preston Park, you realised that the wraps were diluted
00:50:51with God knows what.
00:50:53It was degrading your product, and by extension, your reputation.
00:50:59And we can't have that, can we?
00:51:02So you had Brett Moseley give Drew a beating?
00:51:05And when he felt the sea sense and saw Don Pavilion Green, you changed tack.
00:51:10Go after his brother, Chris.
00:51:12How are we doing so far?
00:51:15Come on, you can help me, Scott.
00:51:17Nothing happens on that estate without you knowing about it.
00:51:20Give me something.
00:51:23At least make an effort.
00:51:25At least try.
00:51:27Well, like you did.
00:51:29Tried your best.
00:51:33I did, Scott.
00:51:35I really did.
00:51:45Two things...
00:51:49might be linked.
00:51:51Might not.
00:51:53And what I know, Chris weren't involved in dealing.
00:51:57Not for me, not for anyone.
00:51:59And you expect us to take your word for that?
00:52:01Even if Drew seriously pissed me off.
00:52:05Why don't I take it out on his brother and draw all this hate?
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, three nights ago.
00:52:23Who?
00:52:23I don't know.
00:52:25We said he was some clean-cut kid.
00:52:27But for what it's worth,
00:52:30where's it just scored off for Drew Simonson?
00:52:35Let'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,
00:52:44wants us to believe that Chris's murder was drug-related.
00:52:49Call the lab.
00:52:50I want all forensics double-checked,
00:52:51especially Chris's prints on the rap.
00:52:58Wes Cowan.
00:53:00Healthy record.
00:53:01Petty thefts.
00:53:02Breaking and entering.
00:53:03A few assaults.
00:53:04There's also a report on the record
00:53:05about an incident that happened on the edge of the Chelsea mistake today.
00:53:09PC saw a man who they believed was Wes
00:53:11through a wheel at the windscreen of a blue car.
00:53:13Did the PC question the driver?
00:53:15Sped off.
00:53:16Rushing into some bins and they haven't come forward.
00:53:18It's odd that the driver didn't report it.
00:53:20The place was crawling with police.
00:53:23Okay, if Scott is right and Wes was attacked three nights ago,
00:53:26it's likely the windscreen incident is connected.
00:53:29So there actually was a leak at the Seifer Boat Club?
00:53:31They showed me the water damage.
00:53:33But 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.
00:53:41The water 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, it changes everything.
00:53:58The sales of 3D printers being what they are
00:54:00makes tracing guns like these near impossible.
00:54:043D guns don't fit with Owens.
00:54:07His 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
00:54:15or printers or anything.
00:54:18Any way we cut this,
00:54:20the case against Owens is weakening.
00:54:26No!
00:54:29No!
00:54:30No!
00:54:36No!
00:54:41No!
00:54:41No!
00:54:48No!
00:54:50No!
00:54:55No, no, no, no, no.
00:55:19Collate 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.
00:55:35Which 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 going to release him.
00:55:43So what do you want to 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.
00:56:39Spinella.
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?
00:57:26If it's not on Nick, he warned me it was a bad idea.
00:57:28Oh, well, 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.
00:57:38Roy, the lab's rerun forensics on Chris Hayton,
00:57:42and 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't you make it go any faster?
00:58:15Assemble it and clean the shit up, yeah?
00:58:17Carefully.
00:58:18We're not leaving any breadcrumbs for the cops to find.
00:58:20I need all this.
00:58:30Look, I'm sorry I dropped you into this.
00:58:36That's all good.
00:58:39Harry Owens was a solid punt.
00:58:41Guys, the appeal posters from the money exchange robbery.
00:58:45They've got us in dashcam footage of the street outside.
00:58:58Yeah, wait.
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, right in 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.
00:59:22So what are we saying here?
00:59:23Are we saying that Chris Hayton,
00:59:25the murder victim from the Chelsea estate,
00:59:27is in fact a witness to the money exchange robbery?
00:59:29Maybe that's what got him killed.
00:59:32Bea, 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,
00:59:43Chris met up with his mate, John.
00:59:45Bella said that she had the sense that John was covering for him.
00:59:48Okay, so what if Chris confided in him?
00:59:51Yeah, but then why wouldn't John just come forward?
00:59:53Or 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.
00:59:59No, I'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.
01:00:21Which wouldn't happen if he 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 Mr. Ectus.
01:00:39Why?
01:00:41What is it that they then want us to see?
01:00:48I just 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 guard.
01:01:18The second raid exonerates Gary Owens and leads directly to his release.
01:01:22If this morning's raid was about establishing an alibi,
01:01:26he would have had to arrange that from inside the custody cell.
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.
01:01:57I'm afraid not.
01:01:58It'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, uh, I think I've told you all I can about Chris.
01:02:31Sure, it's just, uh, a couple of things have come to light.
01:02:45The night that Chris was killed, you'd met up earlier.
01:02:48Is that right?
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:51Here I, uh, told the other detective that.
01:02:54Yeah, sure.
01:02:57Did he seem scared?
01:03:00Shaken up?
01:03:02I mean, I mean, it may be 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?
01:03:55Yeah, apparently Owens said something like,
01:03:57if I don't get my way, I'll tell the police about Hugo.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:02Any more?
01:04:04Forensic gate analysis.
01:04:06It suggests that there was one new robber at the building society.
01:04:10Maybe 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 Owen's 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 followed him, huh?
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.
01:04:42ANPR 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?
01:05:35It was one of them.
01:05:45John, did you ever come across someone called Gary Owens at the basketball court?
01:05:54Nah.
01:05:59Wait, um, no.
01:06:01Gary, yeah.
01:06:04Just someone to say hello to.
01:06:06I think Damien introduced us.
01:06:08How about someone called, uh, Hugo?
01:06:14My dad was called Hugo.
01:06:17What?
01:06:19He's dead, your dad.
01:06:21Is 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,
01:06:32and he got done for insider trading.
01:06:35And then everything spiraled.
01:06:40Spiraled?
01:06:41How?
01:06:45He got into drugs.
01:06:48Coke, cat, everything.
01:06:51My mum kicked him out, but he kept coming back,
01:06:53or trying to, at least.
01:06:56So, yeah, eventually he, uh, moved up to London.
01:07:05Then one night,
01:07:06he, uh, threw himself off a bridge behind Paddington.
01:07:13The, the, the train mangled him so bad,
01:07:16he had to be ID'd by his teeth.
01:07:27And then Damien came along.
01:07:30He was like a miracle.
01:07:33Everything got better, everything calmed down after,
01:07:36after all the mess with Dad.
01:07:37He died.
01:07:42John.
01:07:45Did your dad die before or after
01:07:48your mum started seeing Damien?
01:07:52After?
01:07:55Why are you asking me about Dad?
01:07:59Listen.
01:08:02Let's continue this chat.
01:08:04Back at the station.
01:08:06Don't care.
01:08:11Chris's phone data shows no activity
01:08:13during the time of the robbery.
01:08:14And then there's the group chat
01:08:15he's got with his friends,
01:08:16John, Seb, and Luke.
01:08:18Constantly active,
01:08:19and then nothing during the time
01:08:20of the money exchange show.
01:08:21Hang on.
01:08:22Pull up the data coinciding
01:08:23with the whole of burglaries.
01:08:25So evenings of the 19th of March
01:08:27and 8th and 24th of April.
01:08:31Nothing on any of those dates.
01:08:33So these kids,
01:08:35are the armed robbers.
01:08:37If they are,
01:08:38why did Chris end up dead?
01:08:39His mum said
01:08:40he seemed withdrawn recently.
01:08:42And on the night he died,
01:08:43the night of the robbery,
01:08:44she said that she felt
01:08:46like he needed her again,
01:08:47like he wanted to share something.
01:08:48Which makes me wonder,
01:08:51is Chris the one that freezes?
01:08:54Maybe he'd had enough,
01:08:56the violence was the last straw,
01:08:57and he wanted out.
01:08:59Yeah, but that wouldn't have been
01:08:59straightforward.
01:09:00No, no.
01:09:01He would have been a loose end
01:09:01that needed tying up,
01:09:03he'd have been a liability.
01:09:04Maggie also said that
01:09:06Chris had felt
01:09:06very self-sufficient
01:09:08for the last year,
01:09:09like he didn't need his folks.
01:09:10So maybe someone stepped in
01:09:11to play that parental role.
01:09:14Gary Owens.
01:09:16Maybe.
01:09:17Or whoever stood in for him.
01:09:21The second swap.
01:09:23We need to find out
01:09:24who Owens called
01:09:25from his custody cell.
01:09:39What's happening?
01:09:40Are you taking it?
01:09:41It's okay.
01:09:42I just need to show him
01:09:43some photos back at the station.
01:09:45What photos?
01:09:46Persons of interest
01:09:47he may have seen with Chris.
01:09:48I'll be sure to keep you updated.
01:09:58Grant, listen.
01:09:59Nick, you need to look
01:09:59into John's stepdad,
01:10:00Damien Young.
01:10:02The Hugo that Gary was referring to
01:10:03is John's dad.
01:10:04He went under the wheels
01:10:05of a train.
01:10:06I believe Damien might be
01:10:07behind Hugo's death.
01:10:08I'm bringing John in.
01:10:09I don't think he can talk freely
01:10:10with his stepdad around.
01:10:11I think that Damien
01:10:12might be involved in the raids.
01:10:13Yeah, we think John himself
01:10:14may be involved.
01:10:15Wait, Eddie.
01:10:25Okay, Hugo Tylerson.
01:10:28Death by misadventure.
01:10:30But the police report
01:10:31is interesting.
01:10:32A witness heard shouting
01:10:33right before he hit the tracks.
01:10:35No one looked at foul play.
01:10:36They did,
01:10:36but the only viable suspect
01:10:38was Hugo's dealer
01:10:39and he had an alibi.
01:10:40Gary Owens was overheard
01:10:41saying he'd tell the police
01:10:43about Hugo.
01:10:44Could it be Damien
01:10:45that he was calling
01:10:46from inside the custody cell?
01:10:47If Damien killed Hugo
01:10:48and Owens knew it,
01:10:49did he use that
01:10:50to make Damien carry out
01:10:52another robbery
01:10:52to exonerate him?
01:10:55Keep digging.
01:10:56Please,どん accountable for him?
01:10:57Oh!
01:10:59Oh!
01:10:59Oh!
01:11:00Oh!
01:11:01Oh, oh!
01:11:05Oh!
01:11:09Oh!
01:11:24I don't know.
01:11:24Oh!
01:11:34Get out!
01:11:35Get out!
01:11:37Got it, Lucas!
01:11:55Oh, shit.
01:12:09Jesus.
01:12:11You're okay. John, you're okay.
01:12:30Oh, shit.
01:13:02Damien was an officer in the army. Reading between the lines, he quit before he was pushed for his treatment
01:13:08of detainees in Afghanistan.
01:13:09Then he borrowed heavily to launch a security company that blew up on the launch pad. He went bankrupt.
01:13:14It gets worse. His wife, Polly, divorced him, and despite her dropping an assault charge, he fought tooth and nail
01:13:21for 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. So 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? That 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. Some of the glass retrieved from the scene
01:13:56came from the headlight of a Vauxhall Astra.
01:14:00John's mate Seb drives a blue Vauxhall Astra. I saw him yesterday outside Chris's house.
01:14:05Roy, I've got Wes Cowan in the interview room.
01:14:23I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't go on much further.
01:14:27I can't go on much further.
01:14:29It's okay. Come on, come on.
01:14:33It's okay. Come on, come on.
01:14:38It's okay.
01:14:39Come on.
01:14:41Come.
01:14:43Oh.
01:14:46Shh.
01:14:47Shh.
01:15:03Give me your phone.
01:15:05I left on George in my room.
01:15:09John, look at me.
01:15:12Who's under the mask?
01:15:13Who is trying to shoot us?
01:15:29Come on.
01:15:34Zeb 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,
01:16:01only 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.
01:16:10No way.
01:16:12Honestly, Wes?
01:16:13We don't care about that.
01:16:14This kid could be up on a murder charge.
01:16:16That's what we care about.
01:16:17So why don't we forget about the windscreen and the rap?
01:16:20And you look at these photos and pick out a face.
01:16:37I am really worried about Glenn.
01:16:40I can't get hold of him.
01:16:42He 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.
01:17:04Hey, 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?
01:17:34Chris?
01:17:36Was that Seb?
01:17:39Yeah.
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.
01:17:49Why?
01:17:57Seb was always desperate to impress him.
01:18:00Yeah, I wanted to be Damien's number two.
01:18:03We were just all lost, really.
01:18:06See, working through life.
01:18:07Oh, and Damien woke you up.
01:18:09Yeah.
01:18:11One Sunday, he dragged us up, ditched him a beacon.
01:18:15Basic training, Damien called it.
01:18:18But the challenges, they 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.
01:18:33There was nothing we couldn't do if we put our minds to it.
01:18:37He 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?
01:18:48Yeah.
01:18:50Chris wanted out after the first robbery.
01:18:53But Damien wasn'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 kind of you?
01:19:14What kind of 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-coms.
01:19:48I think you're being a bit of a catastrophist.
01:19:51We're in Sussex.
01:19:52On a Tuesday afternoon.
01:19:55All right, enough.
01:19:58You're the only one who can talk Seb down.
01:20:00I can't confirm any of these wild theories.
01:20:12Things got pretty wild for you.
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.
01:20:25The 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, mate.
01:21:15It's me.
01:21:17Where are you, bro?
01:21:22Wherever that cop has told you, will you take him out?
01:21:26We're in the clear.
01:21:29I've come to help you.
01:21:33Here.
01:21:35Seb.
01:21:38Are you here?
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 in 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, John needed a father, Hugo was just in the way, wasn't he?
01:22:27Then, when you finally got your hands dirty at the building society raid, I think you were forced by Gary
01:22:33Owens, 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. And that deep down, you want what's best for me
01:22:48and John. Especially John. So if there's anything you could do to help him. Anything. I beg you to do
01:22:56it.
01:22:59Vee.
01:22:59The last cell data from Glenn's phone, paint at the old Peace Dean school building. We're sending firearms there now.
01:23:04Okay, thanks.
01:23:09That's you, isn't it, Damien? Forensic gait analysis is just one of the ways that we are going to prove
01:23:15it. Call Seb and stand him down.
01:23:20You need to save your stepson. And you need to do it now.
01:24:03There's a fire exit.
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 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. How are you?
01:25:05I've got the situation under control, sir.
01:25:09Both parties neutralised.
01:25:12Neutralised?
01:25:14Pin down, sir.
01:25:16What should I do?
01:25:22Did you hear that?
01:25:23Don't let John go, please.
01:25:26I can't lose him.
01:25:28I can't lose him.
01:25:31I can't lose him.
01:25:32You see, what you don't understand is that all the 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,
01:25:54we can blame them if they go and grab it.
01:25:58With predictably messy results.
01:26:06Kill them both.
01:26:19You can't!
01:26:23I hate you!
01:26:25I hate you!
01:26:36John, put the gun down.
01:26:39John.
01:26:41Go on.
01:26:42Do it.
01:26:44A bit of time inside might soften you up.
01:26:49Hey.
01:26:50Give me the gun.
01:26:53This isn't you.
01:26:57Give me the gun.
01:27:10Okay, thanks for you.
01:27:12Wait.
01:27:14I don't know what you see when you look in the mirror.
01:27:17War hero.
01:27:19Mentor.
01:27:20I'll tell you what I see.
01:27:22Just a pathetic little criminal who has ruined those boys lives.
01:27:27Wait a minute.
01:27:42We're here.
01:27:47It's good.
01:27:53Yeah, I'll be worried there for a second, Pop.
01:27:59You know what?
01:28:01The beers are on you.
01:28:02I mean, the phone and wallet are part of an active crime scene.
01:28:06Okay, fair enough.
01:28:09Kevin Spinella might be joining us.
01:28:11I'm not buying that person a drink.
01:28:19Oh, I think this might be for you.
01:28:23Hey, Harry.
01:28:24Glenn, I've been trying to call you.
01:28:26Roy told me what happened.
01:28:27Thank God you're all right and you're not injured.
01:28:30I think that's enough heroics for one day.
01:28:34Harry.
01:28:35Harry.
01:28:36Harry, talk to me.
01:28:39Harry.
01:28:39Harry.
01:28:39I'm on fire.
01:28:47Harry.
01:28:50You okay?
01:28:51Harry, you okay?
01:28:52Yeah, it's all right.
01:28:53You okay?
01:28:54You're not hurt.
01:28:55You sure?
01:28:55You're not hurt.
01:28:56Promise.
01:28:57You're okay.
01:28:58Please.
01:28:59It's all mine.
01:29:00It's okay.
01:29:02It's okay.
01:29:04It's okay.
01:29:10It's okay.
