00:00:00Oh
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!
00:02:05See 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.
00:19:27Come on.
00:19:36I'm looking for you.
00:19:49I think it's nice because he's a man.
00:20:26Oh, shit.
00:20:30Lee, have you got anything?
00:20:32Yes and no.
00:20:33The 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.
00:21:27Don't move.
00:21:29Nice and slow.
00:21:35What was that?
00:21:37Hey, listen.
00:21:38You're trying to do right by your brother.
00:21:39Shut up!
00:21:40Did you and Scott have my brother killed?
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.
00:22:25Well?
00:22:26What are you doing here, Spinella?
00:22:29Recording a podcast.
00:22:31My podcast.
00:22:34About what?
00:22:36Boat clubs?
00:22:37Old 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 happen 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.
00:23:58You 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.
00:24:12I was just passed from pillar to post.
00:24:16So, 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?
00:24:44I don't know.
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.
00:25:23I don't know.
00:25:23I don't know.
00:25:35I don't know.
00:25:38I don't know.
00:25:39I don't know.
00:25:40I don't know.
00:25:40I don't know.
00:25:41I don't know.
00:25:41I don't know.
00:25:43I don't know.
00:25:53I don't know.
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 theirs?
00:26:23Yeah, we pulled CCTV, them driving it past the lumber yard.
00:26:27Still masked, I'm afraid, but I'll get the lab to put a rush on the results from the car.
00:26:32Okay, great work. Keep me posted, yeah, Nick?
00:26:34You back at the book club?
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.
00:26:56Okay.
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.
00:28:34So, Chris's parents said he was going to meet you for a late run on the seafront.
00:28:40Yeah.
00:28:41We did meet up.
00:28:44But earlier.
00:28:45Where?
00:28:47Here.
00:28:48He left 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.
00:28:58He left his moped behind.
00:29:00There was nothing on his phone.
00:29:02Okay.
00:29:03So, we have to assume that he was meeting someone closer to home, walking distance.
00:29:09Someone who, for some reason, his parents didn't approve of.
00:29:15So, you're asking me, uh, who that was?
00:29:21Uh.
00:29:24His brother, maybe?
00:29:26Drew?
00:29:29Is there anyone else he 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, why would Chris lie to his parents?
00:29:44Was he involved in something dodgy?
00:29:46Something criminal, even?
00:29:49Nah.
00:29:50Nah, not Chris.
00:29:52No way.
00:29:58You're on that money exchange job, aren'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 crew.
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 S24 job.
00:30:36And who's the younger one?
00:30:37Pete Hickson, David's son.
00:30:39Online 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, Frank, Frank Kers.
00:30:53Also, allegedly, on the S24 job, he beat the charges.
00:30:58Anything more recent?
00:30:59No.
00:31:00Nothing, 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.
00:32:26OK.
00:32:26Thanks, Vee.
00:32:28So...
00:32:29Anything?
00:32:30I've just been speaking to the mother of a girl
00:32:33who 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 ropeds
00:32:44and all have jobs delivering food, but part-time.
00:32:47Scott makes up their hours.
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:51Chris fits the bill, then.
00:32:53Come on.
00:32:54Keep the pace up.
00:32:59Yeah, you've got this.
00:33:09Come on.
00:33:24Better.
00:33:29Better.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:38You know...
00:33:41Your 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, do 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
00:34:24when he's not here.
00:34:26What, 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,
00:34:34that he'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.
00:34:44Ixon told him not to wear it to work.
00:34:46Even in his prime, he hated anything flash.
00:34:48Ixon told him not to wear it to work.
00:34:48Ixon told him not to write that sabbatical.
00:35:03Man.
00:35:13I'm so sorry, Sid.
00:35:15Thanks, Damien. Look, we should go see Chris's parents. I've got some flowers.
00:35:20Right, yeah. Give me one sec, yeah?
00:35:29John? Where are you going? I'll see Chris's mum and dad. I don't want you
00:35:34going up there and getting involved. At least give it a few days. Yeah, but mum, then it
00:35:37won't mean anything. Look, a friend of mine saw something online about him
00:35:41dealing drugs. Chris. Sorry, Mrs. Tiderson, but that's BS. Chris wasn't into drugs.
00:35:48No, he hated him. Could you do me a wee favour, Seb? Could you give us a minute?
00:35:56You too, John.
00:36:05We should be proud of him. He wants to honour his friend. I am. I just don't want to get
00:36:10him
00:36:10mixed up in anything. I know. He's right. If he delays paying respects
00:36:14out of self-interesting, that won't mean anything.
00:36:19Just all this shit that Hugo brought down on us, it's just made me paranoid.
00:36:26John is the antithesis of his dad. Honourable to his boots, which is why he wants to go and see
00:36:33Chris's parents.
00:36:35I just don't want any trouble. He's grieving, Carol. This'll help him.
00:36:45Yeah.
00:36:50Well, it's the best you boys could do. That's why we need you alone. You know about flowers and shit.
00:36:56Yeah, they're fine.
00:37:01I hope I'm right about Chris. What do you mean?
00:37:05Look, I'm not saying he was dealing, but 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.
00:37:16I mean, Chris pissed off someone on the estate.
00:37:19No, sorry. Just now you said no way Chris was involved in drugs, and now you're saying-
00:37:23I'm not saying anything. Just what I heard. I heard Drew wrote Chris in because he was in trouble.
00:37:28Might be bullets, it might be nothing.
00:37:29It's definitely bullets.
00:37:30I don't know what Chris was involved in. None of us do.
00:37:45Forensics are back on the burnt out getaway car. Thanks to fire damage, there's no prints or DNA.
00:37:51Why can't 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. It's probably a foreign object.
00:38:02They found tiny traces of plastic in Teraq Prasad's head wound.
00:38:07Get the lab to compare them with the melted plastic found in the car.
00:38:12Headsen might be resurrecting the old S24 gang, and this time with new blood.
00:38:16So we need to pull everything we can on Gary Owens, Pete Hickson, and Frank Curtis.
00:38:32Hello, John.
00:38:34Hi, you all right?
00:38:37This is Seb and Luke. They 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. I appreciate it.
00:38:58Wes?
00:39:01Wait. I want to talk to you.
00:39:05They come after my brother. He'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. A 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, 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.
00:40:30Well, more recently, he seemed withdrawn.
00:40:33I just put it down to being anxious about uni, you know.
00:40:37Him moving away.
00:40:43The night he died, I don't know, maybe I'm kidding myself,
00:40:47but it felt like he did need his mum again 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.
00:41:32Hold the files on Owens, Curtis and Higson Jr.
00:41:37Curtis has form as an arm dropper, but it's all historic.
00:41:40Higson Jr. did a stretch for mortgage fraud, but nothing heavy.
00:41:44Right. And, uh, Gary Owens?
00:41:45He's the one that stands out.
00:41:47It's a long record of breaking and entering.
00:41:50Plus, 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. And the timing fits, too.
00:41:58I've sent a uniform to keep tabs on.
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.
00:42:21I thought he was in prison.
00:42:22Yeah, or so did I. Early release.
00:42:25He came to an arrangement of a mutual benefit.
00:42:28Yeah. At least that's what he thinks, anyway.
00:42:30And why do we think Grace is gonna 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.
00:43:05Hey.
00:43:06Very similar, no?
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 is 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.
00:43:47It'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!
00:44:42I was an idiot.
00:44:45Started selling outside Scott's Patch.
00:44:48Bit of diluting, bit of markup.
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?
00:45:01Did 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.
00:45:22And I was seen.
00:45:22Seen by who?
00:45:24This 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.
00:46:27Let him go!
00:46:30Why did you run?
00:46:31It's not a good look.
00:46:33Yeah, it's muscle memory, innit?
00:46:34You lot 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 4pm and 7pm?
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 sawing 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?
00:47:29Oh, mates.
00:47:29Dave Higson, Pete Higson, Lenny Palmer, Frank Curtis?
00:47:33I didn't want mates.
00:47:35Okay, Pete it 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.
00:48:10Yeah, must we 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, hassling him about what?
00:48:23Chris was cagey about it.
00:48:24Something to do with his brother, maybe.
00:48:25No, no, 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, eh?
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,
00:49:07and we think that Chris might have been one of them.
00:49:10When we spoke to his mate, John, about what Chris was involved in,
00:49:13we seemed to hit a nerve like he was hiding something.
00:49:16And Scott had Chris's brother, Drew, beaten up for dealing on the side,
00:49:21and it also seems that 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, 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,
00:49:38and after his triumphant homecoming,
00:49:41they were planning to raid the sports bar that he owns in two weeks,
00:49:45but 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
00:49:53and Scott's activities might shake things up a bit.
00:49:56Loosen 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 it out!
00:50:10Get it off!
00:50:14As far as I've got you to thank you for yourself, our Grace.
00:50:16Sir, the drugs team's interest is very much your own doing,
00:50:18but I'm arresting you for the assault of Drew Simpson.
00:50:20I'm arresting you for the assault of Drew Simpson.
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,
00:50:48but you realised that the wraps were diluted with God knows what.
00:50:53It was degrading your product,
00:50:55and by extension, your reputation.
00:51:00And we can't have that, can we?
00:51:02So you had Brett Moseley give Drew a beating?
00:51:05And when he filled the sea sense and sold on Pavilion Green,
00:51:08you changed tack.
00:51:09Go 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. At least try.
00:51:27Well, like you did.
00:51:29Tried your best.
00:51:33I did, Scott. I 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.
00:52:22Who?
00:52:23I don't know.
00:52:25Wes said he was some clean-cut kid.
00:52:27But for what it's worth,
00:52:30Wes had just scored off the 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,
00:52:44wants us to believe that Chris's murder was drug-related.
00:52:49Call the lab.
00:52:50I want all forensics double-checked, especially 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 about an incident that happened on the edge of the
00:53:07Chelsea mistake today.
00:53:09PC saw a man who they believed was Wes through 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?
00:53:32They 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, it changes everything.
00:53:58The sales 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, uniform 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.
00:54:49being able to capture them to his mask.
00:54:51Big Sean and Tear Kaye.
00:54:54Ah!
00:54:57Ah!
00:54:57Ah!
00:54:58Ah!
00:54:59Ah!
00:54:59Ah!
00:55:00Ah!
00:55:00Ah!
00:55:01Ah!
00:55:01Ah!
00:55:02Ah!
00:55:04Ah!
00:55:10Ah!
00:55:19To 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.
00:55:35Which 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.
00:56:01Would be surprised if he didn't sustain a facial injury.
00:56:06Odds 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, 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?
00:57:26It'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.
00:57:50It's been airspotting of Wes Cowan on the estate.
00:58:04Can you make it down any faster?
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 fight.
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.
00:58:42Guys, the appeal posters from the money exchange robbery.
00:58:45They've got us in dashcam footage of the street outside.
00:58:57Yeah, wait.
00:59:00A reminder?
00:59:14A reminder?
00:59:17Yeah, but we can check and see if it shows up on any ANPR cameras nearby.
00:59:22So what are we saying here?
00:59:23Are we saying that Chris Hayton, the murder victim from the Chelsea mistake, 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.
00:59:45Bella 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?
00:59:53Well, 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.
00:59:59No, I'll go.
01:00:00I owe him.
01:00:02It's on me.
01:00:04Plus, 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'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.
01:00:39Why?
01:00:41What is it that they don't want us to see?
01:00:48She 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.
01:01:59It'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, uh, I think I've told you all I can about Chris.
01:02:31Sure, it's just, uh...
01:02:34A 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, uh, told the other detective that.
01:02:54Sure.
01:02:56Did he seem scared or shaken up?
01:03:02I mean, it may be like he wanted to confide something.
01:03:07No, 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.
01:04:30Oh, risky.
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?
01:05:26So, if one of them was Owens, what if the other was Chris?
01:05:34It was one of them.
01:05:46John.
01:05:48Did you ever come across someone called Gary Owens at the basketball court?
01:05:54No.
01:05:59Wait, um, no.
01:06:01Gary.
01:06:02Yeah.
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.
01:06:17Was?
01:06:19He's dead.
01:06:20Your dad, is that right?
01:06:22Yeah.
01:06:23Sorry to hear that.
01:06:26Do you mind me asking how?
01:06:29He, uh, worked in the city, and he got done for insider trading.
01:06:34And then everything spiralled.
01:06:40Spiralled?
01:06:41How?
01:06:45He got into drugs.
01:06:48Coke, cat, everything.
01:06:51Mom 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.
01:07:27And then Damien came along.
01:07:30He was like a miracle.
01:07:33Everything got better, everything calmed down after, after all the mess with Dad.
01:07:43John, did your dad die before or after your mum started seeing Damien?
01:07:52After?
01:07:55Well, why are you asking me about Dad?
01:07:59Listen.
01:08:02Let's continue this chat.
01:08:04Back at the station.
01:08:06Okay.
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 show.
01:08:21Hang on, pull up the data coinciding with the whole of burglaries.
01:08:25Evenings of the 19th of March, and 8th and 24th of April.
01:08:31Nothing on any of those dates.
01:08:33So 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,
01:08:44she said that she felt like he needed her again, like 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, 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 been a liability.
01:09:04Maggie also said that Chris had felt very self-sufficient for the last year,
01:09:09like 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.
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.
01:09:58Grant, 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, but the only viable suspect was Hugo's dealer, and 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 to make Damien carry out another
01:10:52robbery to exonerate him?
01:10:55Keep digging.
01:10:56No, no, no.
01:11:01No, no, no.
01:11:05No, no.
01:11:18No, no.
01:11:33Get out!
01:11:36Get out!
01:11:36Got it, Lucas!
01:11:54Oh, shit!
01:12:09Jesus.
01:12:11You're okay.
01:12:12John, you're okay.
01:13:02Damien was an officer in the army.
01:13:04Reading between the lines, he quit before he was pushed for his treatment of detainees in Afghanistan.
01:13:09Then 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.
01:13:15His wife, Polly, divorced him, and despite her dropping an assault charge,
01:13:19he fought tooth and nail for custody of their son.
01:13:22He 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 can't.
01:14:24I can't.
01:14:25No, I can't.
01:14:26I can't.
01:14:26I can't go on much further.
01:14:30It's okay.
01:14:30Come on, come on.
01:14:31Come on.
01:14:33Come on.
01:14:38Come on.
01:14:43Come on.
01:14:46Shh.
01:14:49Shh.
01:14:49Shh.
01:15:03Give me your phone.
01:15:04I 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?
01:15:15Who is trying to shoot us?
01:15:45Do you understand?
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,
01:16:00only 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.
01:16:12Honestly, 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.
01:16:40Glenn, I 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 Ovingdeen 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.
01:17:57Seb was always desperate to impress him.
01:18:00Yeah, I wanted to be Damien's number two.
01:18:02We were just all lost, really.
01:18:06Sleep, 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 me 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?
01:18:47Yeah.
01:18:50Chris wanted out after the first robbery.
01:18:53But Damien weren't happy.
01:18:54He said quit and won't an option.
01:18:58Cos you don't get to just walk away.
01:19:13What can I do for you?
01:19:23my colleague glenn branson left here over an hour ago with john and they never made it back

01:20:15i need to ask you some questions about your late husband hugo you know there were question marks
01:20:21over his death oh yeah the detectives at paddington thought he might have had a running with his
01:20:27dealer and they may have been right about foul play but wrong about the identity of the perpetrator
01:20:33what a friend of damien's was overheard threatening him saying he'd tell the police about hugo no
01:20:42no you're making it up what have you never wondered even for a second if damien had a hand in

01:24:17Do it!
01:24:32Zeb, 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.
01:24:44Why is it that you're wielding that gun and not Damien?
01:24:47Why 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?
01:25:04I see you, Ben.
01:25:05How are you?
01:25:06We've got the situation under control, sir.
01:25:09Both parties neutralized.
01:25:12Neutralized?
01:25:14Pin down, sir.
01:25:16What should I do?
01:25:22Did you hear that?
01:25:23I've tried to let John go, please.
01:25:27I can't lose him.
01:25:28I can't lose him.
01:25:32You see, what you don't understand is that little 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.
01:26:07Kill them both.
01:26:24Don't put the gun down.
01:26:36Don't put the gun down.
01:26:41Go on.
01:26:42Do it.
01:26:43Bit 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.
01:27:11Thanks for you.
01:27:12Wait.
