00:00:24Come on!
00:00:28Let's go!
00:00:30Move your arse!
00:00:32Scope!
00:00:43Hurry up!
00:00:45Come on!
00:01:10How was work?
00:01:12You know, same old.
00:01:14Well, not much longer. Just a few weeks till you start uni.
00:01:17I know.
00:01:18Well, you never mention it, that's all.
00:01:20I think it's because he's worried about missing us and his mates, right?
00:01:23I mean my mates.
00:01:25Chicken.
00:01:27Do you want some salad?
00:01:28Yeah, cheers.
00:01:40We finished?
00:01:41Yeah.
00:01:41Well, we've only just sat down.
00:01:42I'm meeting John for a run on the seafront, but your mum's...
00:01:45Brian!
00:01:47See you later, love.
00:02:15Get out!
00:02:17No, no, just talk to me.
00:02:18Leave me alone!
00:02:25Actually, the first time he's spoken to me in about a week, so...
00:02:30Well, it's...
00:02:31Well, it's...
00:02:32It's not you.
00:02:33He's been anxious about school since the suspension and...
00:02:37What was the wedding a few days away?
00:02:40He's...
00:02:40He's got a lot on.
00:02:41Yeah.
00:02:43Maybe you haven't given him enough attention.
00:02:45No.
00:02:46That makes two of us.
00:02:51Oh.
00:02:52I needed it at the mortuary.
00:02:53Long call, so...
00:02:55It's okay.
00:02:56You go.
00:02:57I'll get Glenn to cover for me tonight.
00:02:59Sure?
00:03:01Absolutely.
00:03:13Hey, congratulations on the promotion, Detective Sergeant.
00:03:16Alright, so...
00:03:17What have we got?
00:03:18Four masked robbers.
00:03:20All carrying firearms.
00:03:21Sounds like one of them is a bit of a hothead.
00:03:24But one of the others shouted, let's go.
00:03:25Middle-aged, caught an accident.
00:03:27Let's get the CCTV from here and...
00:03:29All the other businesses.
00:03:31And pull everything available, okay?
00:03:32Guns, getaway vehicle, markings on banknotes, everything.
00:03:36Got it.
00:03:40This is my first armed robbery, if you can believe such a thing.
00:03:44You know what?
00:03:45I can.
00:03:47It's the mugs game, all of this.
00:03:49You've got marked notes.
00:03:50You've got silent alarms and sod all cash in the register.
00:03:53Who's bucking the trend?
00:03:56You're the kind of villain that's bold enough for a job like this.
00:03:59You're a dying breed.
00:04:21You'reffeinated.
00:04:23Crawlor Whitman, Boyd, by the time like this you've seen,
00:04:25all of this is to make amazon with me.
00:04:26But this is for couro-èroffen obviously too chyba and so…
00:04:30— It's being awesome but inventory of yours I…
00:04:30… sale to all of Heyton.
00:04:31in 19 and lived on the estate. I think he was killed last night, but found just over
00:04:37an hour ago.
00:04:48Preliminary signs suggest death by seven.
00:04:50Sadly, not uncommon these days, especially on the Chelsen. I was a beat copper here
00:04:56for six months. It was rough, but there was a real sense of community.
00:05:02Obviously, not any more.
00:05:05Well, every doorbell came and checked, and house to house throughout the estate.
00:05:10If we need to draft in more uniform, do it.
00:05:13Okay, got it.
00:05:15Is that Chris?
00:05:18I'm guessing that's the parents.
00:05:21Chris!
00:05:21Okay, we need to talk to them, but in the meantime, could you...
00:05:25Chris!
00:05:26Chris!
00:05:31Roy?
00:05:34I'm missing some coke.
00:05:36What's this? Coke? Heroin, maybe?
00:05:39My baby!
00:05:40My baby!
00:05:49Chris had absolutely nothing to do with drugs. Nothing.
00:05:53Okay.
00:05:55What about enemies?
00:05:56Somebody you might have had a run in with.
00:05:57He didn't have an enemy in the world.
00:06:00He had everything to live for.
00:06:03He was off to Newcastle in the autumn to do a degree in architecture.
00:06:08Can we talk about Chris's movements last night?
00:06:11You said you had dinner together.
00:06:14He came home from work around eight.
00:06:19He's a pizza delivery driver.
00:06:21Let me have dinner.
00:06:23He left pretty quickly.
00:06:25He said he was meeting his friend John for a run on the seafront.
00:06:30He thought he'd stayed over at his.
00:06:33Excuse me.
00:06:36The seafront's quite away from here.
00:06:39How would he usually make that journey?
00:06:41His moped.
00:06:43It's still parked outside.
00:06:46Uh, Chris is on our system, albeit once.
00:06:50At age 14, he was caught with the intent to supply quantities of cannabis,
00:06:54but he was released without charge.
00:06:56If you won't tell them about Drew, I will...
00:06:58The idea that he has anything to do with this is...
00:07:00Who's Drew?
00:07:03Chris's half-brother.
00:07:05My son.
00:07:06He's a drug dealer.
00:07:07He was into drugs for a bit.
00:07:08He used Chris as a delivery boy.
00:07:10It was over five years ago.
00:07:11Chris didn't even know I was in the package.
00:07:12And no one beat Drew up about it more than Drew himself.
00:07:17Instead of standing there asking questions about Drew,
00:07:19why aren't you out looking for the killer?
00:07:25Estimated time of death between 8.30 and 10pm last night.
00:07:29Perimortem bruising to the knees, chest and chin suggest he was pushed face forward to the ground.
00:07:34Mitch would have taken some force.
00:07:36Hmm.
00:07:37He fought back, too.
00:07:40Played knuckles.
00:07:41He probably tried to stand up, only to be felled by the deep stab wound to the chest, which killed
00:07:47him.
00:07:47So, our killer likely has bruises of their own.
00:07:51There are two shallow cuts to the back.
00:07:54From the discoloration, I'd say sustained just before death.
00:07:59Possibly hesitation marks.
00:08:03Which suggests the assailant might have had second thoughts.
00:08:08Maybe they knew the victim.
00:08:15Hey.
00:08:17I wanted to see how you're doing.
00:08:19Yeah, I'm okay.
00:08:19Listen, I'm sorry I put you in a spot.
00:08:21I'm too late to worry about Munich.
00:08:23I know that's difficult.
00:08:23It was my choice.
00:08:25But whilst we're closing in our bases,
00:08:27let's be keep this to ourselves.
00:08:29Yeah.
00:08:32Okay.
00:08:35The murder of Chris Hayton.
00:08:37Now, a few things point towards this being drug-related.
00:08:40We found a wrap of heroin in his pocket.
00:08:43His brother was a dealer,
00:08:44and Chris has a history of running for him when he was younger.
00:08:49So, as we speak, the Chelsea mistake has been camas for intel on Chris's assailant.
00:08:53The search for a weapon is ongoing.
00:08:55Chris told his parents he was going to meet a mate on the seafront now.
00:08:59He would usually take his moped.
00:09:00But he set off on foot, and his body was found on the estate.
00:09:04So, the question is, where was he really going, and why?
00:09:08Now, seeing as we have an armed robbery and a dead teenager,
00:09:12we're obviously going to have to split our resources.
00:09:15So, Glenn and Nick, I need you to stay focused on the money exchange job.
00:09:19What have we got?
00:09:20Well, CCTV has just come in.
00:09:28It's pretty slick.
00:09:29Yeah.
00:09:32I'd be surprised if they hadn't built up to this in some shape or form.
00:09:34Yeah, we're calling around local forces to see if anything fits the bill.
00:09:38Good idea. Spread the net wide.
00:09:39Aren't Sarnoff's the bank robber's weapon of choice?
00:09:41Well, they were, but you've got to move with the times.
00:09:43I mean, we can get this enhanced.
00:09:45Any identifying marks on the guns might help tie them to other crimes.
00:09:49What about the getaway car?
00:09:50Still reviewing the traffic cam footage.
00:09:52And we've also been doing a dive into Brighton robbers of the past,
00:09:55and David Hickson keeps rising to the surface.
00:09:59He robbed an S-24 secure van back in 2004 to the tune of 400K.
00:10:04He shot the driver point blank in his face, and somehow he survived.
00:10:08Yeah, I remember that.
00:10:09Did 12 years in Maythorpe prison.
00:10:11But what's interesting is that Hickson always worked with a crew of four.
00:10:15Yeah, he now runs a local sailing club.
00:10:17It's a bit of a haunt for old faces, apparently.
00:10:20Seaford Boat Club.
00:10:21Yeah, that's a good place to start.
00:10:22Although I'm not sure the likes of us would be too welcome there.
00:10:25You might have to get creative.
00:10:28Okay, thanks everyone.
00:10:29Roy, we pulled fingerprints and a wrap in Chris's pocket.
00:10:34And not just his prints.
00:10:35There's also a match to Drew Simpson.
00:10:37Chris's half-brother.
00:10:42It was one time, okay?
00:10:44It was one mistake, and Brian never let me forget it.
00:10:48This wrap was in Chris's pocket.
00:10:50It bears his fingerprints.
00:10:53And yours.
00:10:57What, and you think I killed him?
00:10:59Then help us make sense of this, Drew.
00:11:04Look, I got out for a few years.
00:11:07Okay?
00:11:08Then someone I used to work for came back to Brighton looking to collect.
00:11:11A scary bastard you did not say no to.
00:11:14And did the scary bastard inflict those bruises on your eye?
00:11:17Reckon I owed him from a few years back.
00:11:19And I figured the only way to free myself from him was to pay up.
00:11:24And that meant dealing for him.
00:11:26So he got tired of waiting for you to pay up.
00:11:29And beating you up didn't work.
00:11:30So he went after Chris.
00:11:32Is that within the realms of possibility, Drew?
00:11:37I don't know.
00:11:39What about that?
00:11:44Okay.
00:11:45Yeah, it's mine.
00:11:46It could be mine.
00:11:48But Chris having it, that makes no sense.
00:11:52How was your relationship with Chris?
00:11:54Were you close?
00:11:55Not really.
00:11:57But a few months back, he wanted to hang out a bit more.
00:12:00You know?
00:12:01Before he went to uni.
00:12:03But the grief I got from Brighton wasn't worth the hassle.
00:12:08If you want to do right by your brother,
00:12:11you need to tell us who you work for right now.
00:12:16Look, I tell you that.
00:12:17And I'm dead too.
00:12:22If he's telling the truth,
00:12:23then Chris got holding that rap without doing it on.
00:12:26Well, Drew's lying and he did pull Chris into running drugs for him because of pressure
00:12:30from that dealer.
00:12:32Hang on.
00:12:34Drew's bruises are semi-healed.
00:12:36Forensics think he sustained them seven days ago.
00:12:38So, not in the process of subduing or killing his brother then?
00:12:42No.
00:12:43Well, we can check his alibi and dig into dealing on the estate.
00:12:46Yeah, and let's find out who he works for.
00:12:49Just the way he was talking about him, he did seem genuinely scared.
00:12:55You have the nerve to come here today when this is all your fault.
00:12:58What?
00:12:58That's not true.
00:12:59They arrested you, didn't they?
00:13:00It was a misunderstanding.
00:13:01They don't do that for no reason.
00:13:02That's why they let me go.
00:13:04Tell him, Mum.
00:13:04She's not fighting your battles anymore.
00:13:07She certainly doesn't want to see you.
00:13:09Mum, please.
00:13:10Mum.
00:13:11I'm going to find out who did this.
00:13:13Okay?
00:13:37I'll leave you with PC Morgan.
00:13:38Okay, thank you.
00:13:41A few locals mentioned someone who could be the guy Drew's working for.
00:13:45He honed his skills up in Manchester working for his uncle.
00:13:48And by skills, I mean killing everyone who got in their way.
00:13:52And he came home to find half of Brighton in the grip of London dealers.
00:13:56He set his civic pride so he staged a fight back.
00:13:58What's his name?
00:13:59Scott Atherton.
00:14:01Apparently he runs all the drugs on the estate and beyond.
00:14:04Okay, get the drugs team to send us everything they've got on him.
00:14:09I'll meet you back at CID.
00:14:10Something I've got to do first.
00:14:12Okay.
00:14:15No, that's brilliant.
00:14:16Thank you very much.
00:14:17Okay.
00:14:18Cool.
00:14:21I just spoke to a DC in Hove about some unsolved breakings.
00:14:25Essentially it was three jobs, impeccably planned.
00:14:28All high-end houses.
00:14:30All second homes.
00:14:31And all taking place inside the same two-month period.
00:14:35So what makes this DC think that his guys are our guys?
00:14:38Well, he said each property they hit was bigger and better secured.
00:14:41In that context, hitting the money exchange might well be raising the bar.
00:14:45Good news is, despite being camera shy,
00:14:49the last break-in they weren't able to stay completely invisible.
00:14:57Four strong teams are unusual.
00:14:59Housebreakers, all robberies.
00:15:01That's a significant commonality.
00:15:06So it's a white skull mask.
00:15:09I'll get that enhanced.
00:15:12This, uh, S-24 job.
00:15:14Only Hickson and his lieutenant Lenny Palmer went down.
00:15:17So what, the other two never identified?
00:15:19Not definitively, no.
00:15:20And Hickson and Palmer wouldn't roll on them.
00:15:24You know what, I'm gonna head up to the Seaford Boat Club.
00:15:26See what kind of establishment Hickson's running.
00:15:50Well, let's go.
00:15:52Constable Grace, how you been?
00:15:56You look like you did well for yourself.
00:15:58Was Drew Simpson dealing for you?
00:16:01You're supposed to say.
00:16:03And you look like you did okay too, Scott.
00:16:06See, I think he was.
00:16:08And I think you,
00:16:10or someone in your pay,
00:16:12gave him those bruises.
00:16:14I don't get it.
00:16:15Why beat Drew up?
00:16:17Was he late paying you back or something?
00:16:20Don't need to get myself a lawyer.
00:16:21I don't know, Scott, do you?
00:16:26Look, after him,
00:16:27it's really not a stretch for me to believe
00:16:29that you went after his brother.
00:16:31You must be able to see that.
00:16:32Or,
00:16:33did you rope Chris into dealing for you
00:16:36and something went wrong?
00:16:38Let me make this very simple, yeah?
00:16:40I don't know Chris Hayton.
00:16:43At all.
00:16:44Yeah, come on.
00:16:46You grew up with his brother.
00:16:48The estate's not that big.
00:16:49I don't know what else to tell you.
00:16:55How's your sister?
00:16:58Debbie?
00:16:59Did she go to Manchester with you?
00:17:02I heard that you came back
00:17:05to clear out the London dealers.
00:17:07Restore order.
00:17:10Yeah, yeah, that's the Scott that I remember.
00:17:13Leader and organiser.
00:17:15Someone that looked out for his sister
00:17:17while his mum and dad
00:17:19was strung out on heroin.
00:17:21Yeah, look after mine.
00:17:24It's a shame that you channeled those talents
00:17:28into the very thing
00:17:29that killed your parents.
00:17:32I had to look after myself.
00:17:34Fight for myself.
00:17:36Because all I ever got from people like you
00:17:38were broken promises.
00:17:41Especially you, Grace.
00:17:46Teenager.
00:17:49Stabbed to death
00:17:50a hundred yards from his own front door.
00:17:52That's not
00:17:53looking out for your own, is it?
00:17:57It's nice seeing you again.
00:18:03If you had
00:18:04anything
00:18:05to do
00:18:06with Chris's death
00:18:08I'll find out.
00:18:10And you will go down for it.
00:18:13Hmm.
00:18:47And you will go down for it.
00:19:15Oh, shit.
00:19:19Lee, you got anything?
00:19:22Yes and no.
00:19:22The older of the two is Lenny Palmer.
00:19:25Hickson's wingman on the S-24 secure job.
00:19:28No ID on the younger one yet?
00:19:29No.
00:19:30Nothing on the system.
00:19:32All right.
00:19:33Thanks.
00:20:13Don't move.
00:20:15Ah, nice and slow.
00:20:22Now, what was that?
00:20:24Hey, listen, you're trying to do right by a brother.
00:20:26Shut up!
00:20:27Did you and Scott have my brother killed?
00:20:35You're so dead.
00:20:37Don't be stupid.
00:20:39All right.
00:20:40Let's go see you later.
00:20:47Let's grab my stuff and get set up.
00:21:02Didn't know HMP Eastfield was short an ex-robe reporter.
00:21:05What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:07I can ask you the exact same question.
00:21:10Well, what are you doing here, Spinella?
00:21:13Recording a podcast.
00:21:15My podcast.
00:21:16A pod...
00:21:18About what?
00:21:19Hmm?
00:21:20Boat clubs.
00:21:21Old Brighton faces.
00:21:23Doing a deep dive into the underworld of yesteryear.
00:21:26Okay, if I come in and verify that.
00:21:28Come on, give me a break.
00:21:30Thanks to you and Grace, my career's in the toilet.
00:21:33I need this.
00:21:35You know what?
00:21:35I need something too.
00:21:38Intel on the clientele here.
00:21:41Particularly Hickson and his three mates.
00:21:45Why would I help you?
00:21:46Look, if you want to hit reset as a crime journalist,
00:21:49you're going to need sources.
00:21:51Fresh meat.
00:21:52Someone who can vouch for your rehabilitation.
00:21:56You're the man to deliver all that?
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59I am.
00:22:02Plus, I would hate to be the one to ruin your little recording session here.
00:22:10Tomorrow morning, I'm back doing my last interview.
00:22:14Meet me in the cafe up there.
00:22:18For God's sake, don't let anyone see you.
00:22:24Two kids coming home every night to a cold house, no food,
00:22:28and a pair of addicts on the sofa who just happened to be their parents.
00:22:32I mean, you would think there'd be some kind of protocol triggered,
00:22:36you know, or like a safety net or something.
00:22:38You would.
00:22:39And so I promised I would get them rehoused.
00:22:43I tried to liaise with their social worker, who was decent, but overwhelmed.
00:22:51I was just passed from pillar to post.
00:22:55So, what happened?
00:22:59I was transferred.
00:23:02That's what happened.
00:23:05And you felt guilt about that?
00:23:09Like you had let him down.
00:23:11He grew up to be a drug dealer, Cleo.
00:23:15Have you ever thought that that guilt is in some way linked to your feelings towards Bruno?
00:23:23I'm serious.
00:23:24Every time he's in a bad mood, you think it's your fault.
00:23:33Scott's intelligence files come through.
00:23:46Not too late, please.
00:23:48Go.
00:23:52Roy, um, you didn't let Scott down.
00:23:57The system did.
00:24:28The system did.
00:24:48Hey, yeah, we found the robber's getaway car, torched and dumped behind the old ball factory.
00:24:54We sure it's dead?
00:24:56Yeah, we pulled CCTV, then driving it past the lumberyard.
00:25:00Still masked, I'm afraid, but...
00:25:02Get the lab to put a rush on the results from the car.
00:25:04Okay, great work. Keep me posted, Yannick.
00:25:07You back at the ball club?
00:25:08Yeah, I'm just following the lead.
00:25:19Just had confirmation on Drew's alibi in an evening study group at the time of Chris's murder,
00:25:24and so said cameras and 15 classmates.
00:25:27Okay.
00:25:30How did you get on with Scott?
00:25:33Scott, I am a detective.
00:25:36So what's the deal?
00:25:38You crossed paths before.
00:25:40Yeah, when I worked on the Chelsum.
00:25:42He was just a kid then.
00:25:45Is it a good idea, getting close to him?
00:25:47I just asked him some questions, that's all.
00:25:49But you didn't want me there.
00:25:56Based on what I saw last night, I think Scott might be using food delivery bikes to shift his product.
00:26:02You think Chris was part of that?
00:26:03I think we should ask that question.
00:26:05And let's verify that Chris did actually work for Brighton Slice.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:12I've been digging through Chris's phone.
00:26:14As you suspected, there are no messages to his friend John Tylison about a run on the seafront.
00:26:18In fact, there are no messages with anyone about where he was going.
00:26:22We need to speak to John.
00:26:25See if we can shine a light on Chris's movements.
00:26:29I'm sorry about Chris.
00:26:31It's awful.
00:26:33I don't want my son dragged into anything.
00:26:36We understand.
00:26:37I mean, it's another world up there.
00:26:39John wants to help any way he can.
00:26:42Don't you?
00:26:45Okay, lad.
00:26:47Come on.
00:26:48We'll make ourselves scarce.
00:26:56Okay, John.
00:27:01So, Chris's parents said he was going to meet you for a late run on the seafront.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07We did meet up.
00:27:10But earlier.
00:27:11Where?
00:27:13Here.
00:27:14He left around seven.
00:27:17Can I be honest with you, John?
00:27:19We've already worked out that meeting you for a late night run was some kind of cover-up.
00:27:24He left his moped behind.
00:27:25There was nothing on his phone.
00:27:29There was nothing on his phone.
00:27:56There was nothing strange in the way he was behaving when he came over.
00:28:03I have to ask you, John.
00:28:04Why would Chris lie to his parents?
00:28:07Was he involved in something dodgy?
00:28:09Something criminal, even?
00:28:11Nah.
00:28:13Nah.
00:28:13Nah, not Chris.
00:28:15No way.
00:28:21You were on that money exchange job, weren't you?
00:28:23Everyone's talking about it.
00:28:25Yeah.
00:28:26I knew it.
00:28:29So, come on.
00:28:31What's the skinny?
00:28:34There might be a link to some break-ins in Hove a few months back.
00:28:39It was a four-man crew.
00:28:43So, we're pro-quote?
00:28:49David Hickson's the one in the pink.
00:28:52People say that he bought the boat club with the proceeds from the S24 job.
00:28:56Who's the younger one?
00:28:58Who's the younger one?
00:28:58Pete Hickson.
00:28:58David's son.
00:29:00Online scams.
00:29:01Credit card fraud.
00:29:03I doubt he's in the money exchange job.
00:29:05His dad's proper retired.
00:29:09Who's the other guy?
00:29:11Frank.
00:29:11Frank Curtis.
00:29:13Also, allegedly, on the S24 job.
00:29:16He beat the charges.
00:29:17Anything more recent?
00:29:19Nah.
00:29:20Nothing as far as I know.
00:29:22I mean, they're all granddads.
00:29:41I'm so sorry.
00:29:45You know, I lost pals in Afghanistan.
00:29:56They feel empty.
00:29:58Numb.
00:29:59Like, why was it them and not you?
00:30:05But walling in it didn't help.
00:30:08You really did have a choice.
00:30:12You could let your emotions eat you up or you could put them to good use.
00:30:19Find your purpose again.
00:30:36I checked in with Brighton Slice.
00:30:38Chris did work for them, but recently it was only sporadic.
00:30:41Okay.
00:30:41Thanks, Fee.
00:30:44Something.
00:30:44Anything?
00:30:46I've just been speaking to the mother of a girl who run drugs for Scott that got out.
00:30:50Scott communicates with these foot soldiers via burners.
00:30:54Text only.
00:30:55Addresses of pick-ups and drop-offs.
00:30:57On paper, they all own their own raw pets and all have jobs delivering food, but part-time.
00:31:02Scott makes up their hours.
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:05Chris fits the building.
00:31:07Come on.
00:31:08Keep the pace up.
00:31:13Yeah, you've got this.
00:31:22Come on.
00:31:24Sorry.
00:31:26Okay.
00:31:36Better.
00:31:41Better.
00:31:43Better?
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:49Better?
00:31:52Better?
00:31:54she's not completely wrong. I know he was your mate and you're wilted as you
00:32:01credit, but you don't know what else he was caught up in, do you?
00:32:20So who's this then? Gary Owens. Bit of a groupie when it comes to old villains.
00:32:27What, no form himself? Yeah, couple of robberies. Everyone treats him like he's a joke. Spends
00:32:33half his time down the basketball court when he's not here. What, so you think he might
00:32:37be a better candidate? For your house break-ins, maybe, but for your money exchange team, he's
00:32:44got the guts, all the smarts. A few weeks ago he started wearing that Hublot watch, which
00:32:51raised eyebrows. Dixon told him not to wear it to work, even in his prime he ate anything
00:32:56flesh.
00:33:12Mate. I'm so sorry Sid. Thanks Damien. Luke. We should go see Chris's parents. I've got some flowers,
00:33:27right, yeah. Give you one sec, yeah? John? Where are you going? We'll see Chris's mum
00:33:39and dad. I don't want you going up there and getting involved. At least give it a few days.
00:33:43Yeah, but mum, then it won't mean anything. Look, a friend of mine saw something online
00:33:47about and dealing drugs. Chris. Sorry Mrs. Tiderson, but as BX, Chris wasn't into drugs.
00:33:54No, he hated him. Could you do me a wee favour, Sid? Could you give us a minute? You too,
00:34:02John.
00:34:10We should be proud of him. He wants to honour his friend. I am. I just don't want to get
00:34:15him mixed up in anything. I know. He's right. If he delays pain of respect so he's self-interesting,
00:34:21that won't mean anything. It's just all this shit that Hugo brought down on us. It's just
00:34:28made me paranoid. John is the antithesis of his dad. Honourable to his boots, which is
00:34:36why he wants to go and see Chris's parents. I just don't want any trouble. He's grieving,
00:34:43Carol. Just help him. No. It's the best you boys could do. That's why we need you a lot.
00:34:56You know about flowers and shit. Yeah, you know, fine. I hope I'm right about Chris. What
00:35:05do you mean? Look, I'm not saying he was dealing, but it felt like he wanted to build a relationship
00:35:12with his brother. At any price. Maybe that went helping him out. It tracks. I mean, Chris
00:35:18pissed off someone on the estate. Sorry, just now you said no way Chris was involved in drugs
00:35:23and now you say I'm not saying anything. Just what I heard. I heard you wrote Chris in
00:35:28because he was in trouble. Might be bullets. It might be nothing. I don't know what Chris
00:35:31was involved in. None of us do.
00:35:46Forensics are back on the burnt out getaway car. Thanks to fire damage, there's no prints
00:35:50or DNA. Why can't I feel a butt coming? The lump of melted plastic the sucker is found in the
00:35:55front seat. It contains a mix of polymers that aren't unmatched to anything in the vehicle.
00:35:59It's probably a foreign object. We found tiny traces of plastic in Teraq Prasad's
00:36:05head wound. Get the lab to compare them with the melted plastic found in the core. Hickson
00:36:11might be resurrecting the old S24 gang and this time with new blood. So we need to pour
00:36:16everything we can on Gary Owens, Pete Hickson and Frank Curtis.
00:36:30Hello John. Hi, alright? This is Seb and Luke. They were at college with us. Detective Superintendent
00:36:39Grace, Detective Sergeant Moy. We're very sorry about Chris. Thanks mate. I appreciate it.
00:36:55Wes? Wait. I want to talk to you. They come after my brother. He's dead. I know you saw me
00:37:06in Pavilion Green.
00:37:09Did you tell Scott? I had to. What were you thinking Crossy? What were you thinking
00:37:18telling him? Sorry. None of this stuff comes cheap. We only found Chris's smartphone at the scene.
00:37:35Right? Maybe he used a burner for dealing. Yeah. A burner we cannot find. So maybe the killer took it
00:37:43with him.
00:37:44Well, if Chris is dealing for Scott then all bets are off. You could have crossed him.
00:37:48Displeased him. Tried to quit. What are you looking for?
00:37:54I don't know. Excuse me.
00:38:00Something, anything that would help me make sense of Chris's last hours.
00:38:05Where he went. Who he met. Because it wasn't John Tylerson.
00:38:11What is it Maggie?
00:38:16Over the last year, Chris felt pretty self-sufficient. Like he didn't need us anymore.
00:38:23And more recently, he seemed withdrawn. I just put it down to being anxious about uni. You know.
00:38:29Him moving away.
00:38:35The night he died. I don't know. Maybe I'm kidding myself.
00:38:39But it felt like he did need his mum again. Or he wanted to share something.
00:38:48I thought no. I let him talk when he's getting ready.
00:38:58Leave me to it.
00:39:06Circulating through Simpson to local stations has paid off.
00:39:09Last week, he was spoken to by officers up in Preston Park.
00:39:12He was suspected of dealing, but they let him off with a warning.
00:39:15If he was there, that's a long way outside Scott's turf.
00:39:18That would explain the bruises.
00:39:22Pulled the files on Owens, Curtis and Hickson Jr.
00:39:26Curtis has form as Norm Draper, but it's all historic.
00:39:29Hickson Jr. did a stretch for mortgage fraud, but nothing heavy.
00:39:33Right. And Gary Owens?
00:39:34He's the one that stands out.
00:39:36It's a long record of breaking and entering.
00:39:38Plus, you said he was rocking a Hublot watch recently?
00:39:41Yeah.
00:39:41One was stolen at the last of the three Hope burglaries.
00:39:44Nice. And the timing fits too.
00:39:46I've sent a uniform to keep tabs on.
00:39:48Great.
00:39:51How did you idea Owens, by the way?
00:39:54Hear about his watch and stuff?
00:39:56Don't imagine the boat club would have a particularly leaky clientele.
00:40:03Kevin Spinello.
00:40:05Look, I ran into him there.
00:40:08I thought he was in prison.
00:40:09Yeah, or so did I.
00:40:10Early release.
00:40:12He came to an arrangement of a mutual benefit.
00:40:15At least that's what he thinks anyway.
00:40:17And why do we think race is going to make of that?
00:40:20Any sort of interaction with Kevin Spinello, let alone an arrangement.
00:40:24It's fine.
00:40:29I'll have sent over cleaned up footage from the Hove burglary.
00:40:47Yeah.
00:40:48You are kidding me.
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:51Very similar, no?
00:40:53Yeah.
00:40:54I'd say Gary is shaping up nicely.
00:40:57Let's arrest him for the break-ins and let's see if we can pin him to the money exchange job.
00:41:12I'm just worried that Spinello is setting us up for a fall.
00:41:15We need all the help we can get with these old faces.
00:41:18And right now, he's our best bet.
00:41:27That's Owens.
00:41:30The old bill are on to me.
00:41:32I don't know, but I need help.
00:41:34I thought we were in this together.
00:41:42Gary Owens.
00:41:44I'm arresting you on suspicion of burglary.
00:42:01I'm sorry, Mum.
00:42:03It's my fault.
00:42:04It's all my fault.
00:42:06Stop!
00:42:08Drop the gun.
00:42:10Drop it.
00:42:10Wait, it's not mine.
00:42:11Stay where you are.
00:42:12It's not mine.
00:42:13On the ground!
00:42:14Face down!
00:42:14It's not even mine!
00:42:15On the ground!
00:42:16Face down!
00:42:17Don't hurt him!
00:42:18You stopped my head.
00:42:23I was an idiot.
00:42:25Started selling outside Scott's patch.
00:42:28Bit of diluting, bit of markup.
00:42:31Up in Preston Park.
00:42:33I got cautioned by one of you lot, and somehow Scott heard about it and gave me a beating.
00:42:37Did you heed the warning?
00:42:40Did you give Scott any reason for further reprisals?
00:42:45Is that a yes?
00:42:48A few days later, I went back to dealing on the estate.
00:42:53At the end of the night, I had some left over, so I headed up to Pavilion Green to shift
00:42:57it.
00:42:59And I was seen.
00:43:01Seen by who?
00:43:03This junkie I know.
00:43:06And he told Scott.
00:43:09I know what I did.
00:43:11I know what I did.
00:43:14If Scott killed Chris to punish Drew, planting a wrap on Chris's body doesn't seem a stretch.
00:43:19Final screw you.
00:43:21Strategic as well.
00:43:22Scott's got a reputation to keep.
00:43:24Sends out a signal.
00:43:25And Chris?
00:43:27Collateral damage.
00:43:29Even if Chris was one of his foot soldiers, there'll be plenty of others that could replace him.
00:43:33It just shows how ruthless Scott is.
00:43:47Let him go!
00:43:52What?
00:43:52He's such a junkie. It's not worth the hassle.
00:43:57Let's go!
00:43:59Let's go!
00:44:00Let's go!
00:44:01Let's go!
00:44:02Let's go!
00:44:02Let's go!
00:44:04Let's go!
00:44:05Why did you run?
00:44:07It's not a good look.
00:44:08That's a massive memory, innit?
00:44:10You lot have been giving me grief since forever.
00:44:13This is you, Gary.
00:44:16The tattoo looks very similar, to put it mildly.
00:44:23Nah, sorry.
00:44:25Well, if it's not you, then where were you on the night of April 24th?
00:44:30No idea.
00:44:36Who's this, Gary?
00:44:38Is he deaf?
00:44:40I wasn't there.
00:44:42Okay.
00:44:44Where were you the day before yesterday, between 4pm and 7pm?
00:44:49I was at the C for Bow Club. I'm the caretaker.
00:44:51Anyone who can verify that?
00:44:53Actually, we had a leak. I was down in the cellar sawing.
00:44:55So you're on your own?
00:44:58So what about your mates at the Bow Club? Where were they?
00:45:01What mates?
00:45:02Dave Higson, Pete Higson, Lenny Palmer, Frank Curtis?
00:45:05I don't want mates.
00:45:07Okay, Pete it is.
00:45:08Did he tell you to run?
00:45:10No one tells me what to do, mate.
00:45:12Except Dave Higson.
00:45:15Pays your wages?
00:45:17Yeah.
00:45:19I bet you do what he tells you, alright?
00:45:37Who was that guy?
00:45:38I don't know.
00:45:39Yeah, well he knew you.
00:45:40Yeah, once we were just letting him go.
00:45:42I don't need the grief.
00:45:43Okay?
00:45:44Since when was that your style?
00:45:47You're starting to piss me off, John.
00:45:49Who was he?
00:45:50Some guy who was hassling Chris.
00:45:52Yeah?
00:45:52Hassling him about what?
00:45:53Chris was cagey about it.
00:45:54Something to do with his brother, maybe.
00:45:55Nah.
00:45:56Nah, nah, nah. Chris never mentioned it.
00:45:57Well clearly, you didn't know Chris as well as you thought you did.
00:46:00You're so full of it.
00:46:02Hey!
00:46:03Guys!
00:46:03Guys!
00:46:04Guys!
00:46:05You wouldn't have wanted this!
00:46:11We've made a strong link between the money exchange job and three break-ins in Hove.
00:46:15And we also have a Gary Owens in custody.
00:46:18How did he get onto your radar?
00:46:21Long story, but let's see if anything comes from it first.
00:46:24Okay.
00:46:25Moving on to Chris Hayton.
00:46:27We have our sights set on Scott Atherton, a local dealer.
00:46:31We believe he's moving his drugs via kids on food delivery mopeds and we think that Chris might have been
00:46:37one of them.
00:46:37When we spoke to his mate John about what Chris was involved in, we seemed to hit a nerve like
00:46:42he was hiding something.
00:46:44And Scott had Chris's brother Drew beaten up for dealing on the side and it also seems that Drew didn't
00:46:49quite heed the warning.
00:46:50Isn't beating someone up and then killing their brother quite an escalation?
00:46:56True.
00:46:56But drug dealers are not known for their patience.
00:46:58Especially not Scott Atherton.
00:47:00I've been in touch with the drugs team.
00:47:01Scott was on their radar up in Manchester and after his triumphant homecoming, they were planning to raid the sports
00:47:09bar that he owns in two weeks.
00:47:11But they're now going to bring that forward.
00:47:12As in you persuaded them to?
00:47:14I just thought making a public show of the link between Chris's murder and Scott's activities might shake things up
00:47:21a bit.
00:47:22Loosen his grip on the estate.
00:47:23Unless the raid has the opposite effect.
00:47:25And Scott's heightens his grip.
00:47:27We're rolling the dice.
00:47:28No doubt.
00:47:32Get us off!
00:47:33Get it out!
00:47:35Get us off!
00:47:36Get us off!
00:47:37Get us off!
00:47:38Get us off!
00:47:38I suppose I've got new defense for these of our grace.
00:47:40The drugs team's interest is very much your own doing, but I'm arresting you for the assault of Drew Simpson.
00:47:44Get us all.
00:47:46Get you out!
00:47:47Get us off!
00:47:47Get your out!
00:47:47Get us off!
00:47:52Get us off!
00:47:54Get out!
00:47:56Get us off!
00:47:58Get us off!
00:47:59Get us off!
00:48:00Okay.
00:48:03My working theory is this.
00:48:06Not only did you catch Drew dealing your drugs up in Preston Park,
00:48:11You realised that the wraps were diluted with God knows what.
00:48:16It was degrading your product, and by extension, your reputation.
00:48:22And we can't have that, can we?
00:48:24So you had Brett Moseley give Drew a beating?
00:48:27And when he filters his sense and swords on Pavilion Green, you change tack.
00:48:32Go after his brother, Chris.
00:48:34How are we doing so far?
00:48:37Come on, you can help me, Scott.
00:48:39Nothing happens on that estate without you knowing about it.
00:48:42Give me something.
00:48:45At least make an effort, at least try.
00:48:49Well, like you did.
00:48:51Tried your best.
00:48:54I did, Scott, I really did.
00:49:05Two things.
00:49:09Might be linked.
00:49:11Might not.
00:49:13From what I know, Chris weren't involved in dealing.
00:49:17Not for me, not for anyone.
00:49:19And you expect us to take your word for that?
00:49:21Even if Drew seriously pissed me off.
00:49:24Why would I take it out on his brother and draw all this hate?
00:49:29Okay.
00:49:31What's the second thing?
00:49:33Where's Calwin?
00:49:35Repeat customer.
00:49:38Someone told him over, three nights ago.
00:49:41Who?
00:49:42I don't know.
00:49:44We said he was some clean cut kid.
00:49:46Before what it's worth.
00:49:48Where's he just scored off of Drew Simonson?
00:49:53Let's say he's telling the truth about Chris not dealing.
00:49:55If Scott didn't frame Drew with a rap, then who did?
00:49:59Well, someone, for whatever reason, wants us to believe that Chris' murder was drug-related.
00:50:06Call the lab.
00:50:07I want all forensics double-checked, especially Chris' prints on the rap.
00:50:15Where's Calwin?
00:50:17Healthy record.
00:50:18Petty thefts.
00:50:18Breaking and entering.
00:50:19A few assaults.
00:50:20There's also a report on the record about an incident that happened on the edge of the Chelsea
00:50:24mistake today.
00:50:25PC saw a man who they believed was Wes through a wheel at the windscreen of a blue car.
00:50:30Did the PC question the driver?
00:50:31Sped off.
00:50:32Brushing into some bins and they haven't come forward.
00:50:34It's odd that the driver didn't report it.
00:50:36The place was crawling up, please.
00:50:38Okay, if Scott is right and Wes was attacked three nights ago, it's likely the windscreen
00:50:42incident is connected.
00:50:44So there actually was a leak at the Seifer Bowl Club?
00:50:47They showed me the water damage.
00:50:48But it doesn't give Owens an alibi or anything like it.
00:50:51The lab came back.
00:50:53Melted plastic from our burn-out getaway car.
00:50:56It's a match to swabs taken from Tarak Prasad's head wound.
00:50:59Both contain identical synthetic polymer.
00:51:02I think our raiders are using synthetic guns.
00:51:09It doesn't matter.
00:51:10It changes everything.
00:51:12The sales of 3D printers being what they are makes tracing guns like these near impossible.
00:51:183D guns don't fit with Owens.
00:51:20His laptop belongs in a museum.
00:51:22Plus, all his convictions are old school.
00:51:24Uniform turned his place upside down.
00:51:27Definitely didn't mention anything about 3D guns or printers or anything.
00:51:31Any way we cut this, the case against Owens is weakening.
00:51:501D gun without a new weapon.
00:52:0507D guns are stupid to kill him.
00:52:05So that's why he cannot use the gun.
00:52:07Oh, no!
00:52:29You can leave those statements for me, yeah?
00:52:31Okay. Thank you.
00:52:32The victim is an Alan Bernard.
00:52:35Single gunshot to the head.
00:52:37Witnesses all agree that the shooter was wearing a bright white skull mask.
00:52:41The only one on the four who was.
00:52:42So it must be our guys.
00:52:44Which begs the question.
00:52:45Are we completely off target with Owens as he's still in custody?
00:52:49His lawyer's been chasing.
00:52:50Wants to know if we're gonna release him.
00:52:52So what do you wanna do?
00:53:06Look at this fool.
00:53:09Are you surprised if he didn't sustain a facial injury?
00:53:14Odd that they didn't wait for the heat to die down after the money exchange job.
00:53:19I mean, they might look like pros, but pros would have had a cooling off period.
00:53:25Yeah, exactly.
00:53:26The 3D guns give it a new spin, but at its core, it's armed robbery.
00:53:30It feels like an old man's game.
00:53:32So your man Gary Owens, he fits the bill?
00:53:34Yeah, but he was in custody at the time of this morning's robbery, so we've had to let him go.
00:53:38You never told me how he came to your attention.
00:53:45Spinella.
00:53:46Kevin Spinella?
00:53:47Yeah, I mean, it's like you said.
00:53:49We need an inn at the boat club and Spinella, he provided one.
00:53:52In return for what?
00:53:54Rehabilitation.
00:53:56As a crime reporter, wait, I didn't sign a contract with him.
00:53:58In what universe do you think it's okay to trust Spinella?
00:54:01Does he know which case you're working on?
00:54:02He guessed.
00:54:03Oh, so now that they've killed someone, expect him to collect.
00:54:07I mean, talk about a scoop.
00:54:08This is not rehabilitation, this is resurrection.
00:54:11After everything we went through with Cassian, you think it's okay to bring Spinella back in?
00:54:17Why?
00:54:17Call it a necessary evil.
00:54:19It's a bit like getting intel from a drug dealer, and by all accounts a murderer.
00:54:28Did you know about this?
00:54:30If it's not on Nick, he warned me it was a bad idea.
00:54:32Oh.
00:54:33Well, he's just been promoted.
00:54:35I thought maybe he could learn something from you.
00:54:37Maybe I should have put him in charge.
00:54:41Roy.
00:54:42The lab's rerun forensics on Chris Hayden, and Cleo's spotted something on the report, says it's urgent.
00:54:48Okay.
00:54:50I'll go now.
00:54:51I'll walk out with you.
00:54:52Okay.
00:54:52It's been a spotting of Wes Cowan on the estate.
00:55:06Can you make it go any faster?
00:55:16Right.
00:55:17Assemble it and clean this shit up, yeah?
00:55:19Carefully.
00:55:19We're not leaving any breadcrumbs for the cops to find.
00:55:21I need all this.
00:55:31Look, I'm sorry I dropped you into this.
00:55:37That's all good.
00:55:39Harry Owens was a solid punt.
00:55:43Guys, good PR posters from the money exchange robbery.
00:55:46They've got us in dash cam footage of the street outside.
00:55:58Here, wait.
00:56:00A reminder?
00:56:03It looks like we have another witness.
00:56:07Chris Hayden had a blue helmet just like that.
00:56:12And the rope had Brighton's slice.
00:56:14Chris used to work for them.
00:56:15I can't see a reg.
00:56:16Yeah, but we can check and see if it shows up on any ANPR cameras nearby.
00:56:20So what are we saying here?
00:56:21Are we saying that Chris Hayden, the murder victim from the Chelsea mistake, is in fact a witness to the
00:56:26money exchange robbery?
00:56:27Maybe that's what got him killed.
00:56:30Bea, can you talk to the pizza company?
00:56:32Check if Chris was working in the area around the time of the robbery.
00:56:35Right.
00:56:39Right before he was killed, Chris met up with his mate, John.
00:56:42Bella said that she had the sense that John was covering for him.
00:56:45Okay, so what if Chris confided in it?
00:56:48Yeah, but then why wouldn't John just come forward?
00:56:50Well, scared, maybe.
00:56:51Didn't want to meet the same fate.
00:56:53We need to talk to John.
00:56:54Yeah, I'll call Roy.
00:56:55No, I'll go.
00:56:57I owe him.
00:56:58It's on me.
00:57:00Plus, the robbery.
00:57:01That's our case, okay?
00:57:02Whatever Chris may have seen, we need to know.
00:57:07The lab found no prints other than Drew's and Chris's.
00:57:11And the ridge marks on Chris's prints are blurry and slightly overlapping.
00:57:16Which wouldn't happen if he'd just picked the wrap up.
00:57:19Exactly.
00:57:21And there are subtle marks which could have come from the scratches Chris sustained when he fell forward.
00:57:26Which would indicate that someone pressed his hand against the wrap after he died.
00:57:31Someone's trying to reframe Chris's murder to Mr. Ector's. Why?
00:57:36What is it that they then want us to see?
00:57:42She spoke to the lab.
00:57:44They ran CCTV from both robberies through forensic data analysis.
00:57:48One of the mass robbers from the building society had a short stocky build.
00:57:51It doesn't match with any of the robbers from the money exchange.
00:57:53So they swapped one of them out?
00:57:55Yeah, possibly two.
00:58:04Why would they change personnel between the raids?
00:58:08Maybe that's why they forfeit the cooling off period.
00:58:11The second raid exonerates Gary Owens and leads directly to his release.
00:58:15If this morning's raid was about establishing an alibi,
00:58:19he would have had to arrange that from inside the custody cell.
00:58:29Is he handing him something?
00:58:34Bingo.
00:58:35He's making a call.
00:58:37The guy who lent Gary Owens' phone is still in custody.
00:58:40John came off his bike this morning.
00:58:43He's having to lie down upstairs and generally feeling sorry for himself.
00:58:47Cannot wait.
00:58:49It's right now.
00:58:50It's related to Chris Hayden.
00:58:52Yeah, of course.
00:58:54He's just up the stairs, top floor.
00:59:03John?
00:59:06Hey.
00:59:08Detective Inspector Branson.
00:59:09Sorry, I'm not feeling too great, actually.
00:59:12It's all I heard.
00:59:13You, uh, came off your bike?
00:59:16Yeah.
00:59:17And, uh, I think I've told you all I can about Chris.
00:59:20Sure, it's just, uh, a couple of things have come to light.
00:59:34The night that Chris was killed, you'd met up earlier, is that right?
00:59:39Yeah.
00:59:40Here I, uh, told the other detective that.
00:59:43Yeah, sure.
00:59:45Did he seem scared?
00:59:48Or shaken up?
00:59:50Or maybe like he wanted to confide something?
00:59:55No, he was fine.
00:59:57Just stressed about getting ready for uni, that's all.
01:00:05Is that Chris?
01:00:07Yeah.
01:00:10And your dad?
01:00:12Oh, my stepdad.
01:00:13Damien.
01:00:14Who are the others?
01:00:15That's Seb and Luke.
01:00:18Just some friends of mine.
01:00:21Oh.
01:00:24Excuse me.
01:00:27Nick, can you keep it brief?
01:00:28Owens might still be in the frame.
01:00:30How so?
01:00:30He made a call from his custody cell at 10.30pm.
01:00:34The guy whose phone he borrowed said it got pretty heated with whoever was on the other end.
01:00:39Is there anything specific?
01:00:40Yeah, apparently Owens said something like,
01:00:43if I don't get my way, I'll tell the police about Hugo.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:48Any more?
01:00:49Forensic gate analysis.
01:00:51It suggests that there was one new robber at the building society.
01:00:55Maybe even two.
01:00:56But the one confirmed new addition was shorter and stockier.
01:01:00We're thinking he was maybe filling in to give Owens an alibi.
01:01:04Thanks.
01:01:08How would the gang have ID'd Chris from a fleeting encounter in the street?
01:01:13Maybe they follow him, huh?
01:01:15Risky.
01:01:16And even if they did, we know Drew's rap was stolen three days ago.
01:01:20Chris's phone was at home all afternoon the day he died.
01:01:22And his manager said he wasn't working a shift that day.
01:01:25ANPR cameras also picked up the ridge of the moped further along the street about 60 seconds after the gang
01:01:29drove off.
01:01:29The plates weren't Chris's.
01:01:31Chris wasn't the driver.
01:01:33Chris wasn't the driver.
01:01:33No, and if he wasn't at work the day he died, that means he lied to his parents about where
01:01:37he was.
01:01:37We know he only did deliveries sporadically and it seems he wasn't dealing, so where was he getting his money
01:01:42from?
01:01:42If he wasn't dealing drugs, then why would he need a burner?
01:01:46Get the forensic gate analysis footage up again.
01:01:59So what if the lab was right, and there was a second switchover at the building society?
01:02:04So two of the original money exchange robbers were swapped out.
01:02:07If one of them was Owens, what if the other was Chris?
01:02:15There was one of them.
01:02:26John.
01:02:28Did you ever come across someone called Gary Owens at the basketball court?
01:02:34Nah.
01:02:39Wait, um, no.
01:02:41Gary, yeah.
01:02:43Did someone say hello to?
01:02:45I think Damien introduced us.
01:02:48How about someone called Hugo?
01:02:53My dad was called Hugo.
01:02:56Was?
01:02:58He's dead, your dad, is that right?
01:03:01Sorry to hear that.
01:03:04Do you mind me asking how?
01:03:05How?
01:03:07He, uh, worked in a city and he got done for inside a trading.
01:03:13And then everything spiraled.
01:03:18Spiraled? How?
01:03:23He got into drugs.
01:03:25Coke, cat, everything.
01:03:28Mum kicked him out but he kept coming back, or trying to at least.
01:03:33So, yeah, eventually he, uh, moved up to London.
01:03:41Then one night, he, uh, threw himself off a bridge behind Paddington.
01:03:49The, the, the train mangled him so bad, he had to be ID'd by his teeth.
01:04:02And then Damien came along.
01:04:05He was like a miracle.
01:04:08Everything got better, everything calmed down after, after all the mess with Dad.
01:04:19John, did your dad die before or after your mum started seeing Damien?
01:04:26After?
01:04:29Why are you asking me about Dad?
01:04:33Listen, let's continue this chat, back at the station.
01:04:40Okay.
01:04:44Chris's phone data shows no activity during the time of the robbery.
01:04:48And then there's the group chat he's got with his friends, John, Seb and Luke.
01:04:51Constantly active and then nothing during the time of the money exchange.
01:04:54Hang on, pull up the data coinciding with the whole of burglaries.
01:04:58Evenings of the 19th of March and 8th and 24th of April.
01:05:03Nothing on any of those dates.
01:05:05So these kids, are the armed robbers?
01:05:09If they are, why did Chris end up dead?
01:05:11His mum said he seemed withdrawn recently.
01:05:14And on the night he died, the night of the robbery, she said that she felt like he needed her
01:05:18gun, like he wanted to share something.
01:05:20Which makes me wonder, is Chris the one that freezes?
01:05:25Maybe he'd had enough, the violence was the last straw, and he wanted out.
01:05:30Yeah, but that one had been straight forward.
01:05:31No, no, he would have been a loose end that needed tying up, he'd have been a liability.
01:05:35Maggie also said that Chris had felt very self-sufficient for the last year, like he didn't need his folks.
01:05:40So maybe someone stepped in to play that parental role.
01:05:44Gary Owens?
01:05:46Maybe.
01:05:47Or whoever's still in for him.
01:05:50The second swap.
01:05:53We need to find out who Owens called from his custody cell.
01:06:08What's happening?
01:06:09Are you taking it?
01:06:11It's okay.
01:06:11I just need to show him some photos back at the station.
01:06:14What photos?
01:06:15Persons of interest, he may have seen with Chris.
01:06:17I'll be sure to keep you updated.
01:06:26Glenn, listen.
01:06:27Nick, you need to look into John's stepdad, Damien Young.
01:06:30The Hugo that Gary was referring to is John's dad.
01:06:32He went under the wheels of a train.
01:06:34I believe Damien might be behind Hugo's death.
01:06:36I'm bringing John in.
01:06:37I don't think he can talk freely with his stepdad around.
01:06:39I think that Damien might be involved in the raids.
01:06:41Yeah, we think John himself may be involved.
01:06:43Wait, Eddie.
01:06:52Okay, Hugo Tylerson.
01:06:54Death by misadventure.
01:06:56But the police report is interesting.
01:06:58A witness heard shouting right before he hit the tracks.
01:07:01No one looked at foul play.
01:07:02They did, but the only viable suspect was Hugo's dealer.
01:07:05And he had an alibi.
01:07:06Gary Owens was overheard saying he'd tell the police about Hugo.
01:07:10Could it be Damien that he was calling from inside the custody cell?
01:07:13If Damien killed Hugo and Owens knew it, did he use that?
01:07:16Make Damien carry out another robbery to exonerate him?
01:07:20Keep digging.
01:07:57Use the lockstep!
01:07:58Stop! Get down!
01:08:01Father Lucas!
01:08:03Hands up dog bleeding.
01:08:17Oh, shit.
01:08:30Oh, shit.
01:08:33You're okay.
01:08:34John, you're okay.
01:08:40You're okay.
01:09:08You're okay.
01:09:22Damien was an officer in the army.
01:09:24Reading between the lines, he quit before he was pushed for his treatment of detainees in Afghanistan.
01:09:28Then he borrowed heavily to launch a security company that blew up on the launch pad.
01:09:32He went bankrupt.
01:09:33It gets worse.
01:09:33His wife, Polly, divorced him, and despite her dropping an assault charge, he fought tooth and nail for custody of
01:09:40their son.
01:09:40He didn't win.
01:09:42So, thrown out of the army, no money, no status, no son.
01:09:47That's a big whore, Phil.
01:09:49Yeah, huge.
01:09:50So I don't think it was Gary who was the parental guide for Chris.
01:09:54No, I think Damien went looking for a son.
01:09:56He found John.
01:09:58He found his friends as well.
01:09:59So what were you saying, that Damien was the ringleader?
01:10:02He masterminded all the break-ins and the robberies?
01:10:04Didn't get his hands dirty until he had to.
01:10:07What is it?
01:10:09I'm trying to identify the blue car from the Wes Cowan incident.
01:10:12Some of the glass retrieved from the scene came from the headlight of a Vauxhall Astra.
01:10:17John's mate, Seb, drives a blue Vauxhall Astra.
01:10:20I saw him yesterday outside Chris' house.
01:10:22Roy, I've got Wes Cowan in the interview room.
01:10:39I can't.
01:10:42I can't go on much further.
01:10:45It's okay.
01:10:45Come on, come on, come on.
01:10:48Ben, it's okay.
01:10:50It's okay.
01:10:58It's okay.
01:11:02Shh.
01:11:17Give me your phone.
01:11:18I left on George in my room.
01:11:23John, look at me.
01:11:25It's under the mask.
01:11:27It's trying to shoot us.
01:11:46Zeb told me it's done.
01:11:48Is the clean-up in motion?
01:11:50Yes.
01:11:50Yes, sir.
01:11:51I'm sorry.
01:11:53I'm doing it.
01:11:54Go back and wipe it down when you've delivered the package, understood?
01:11:57Or do I have to come over there and do it myself?
01:11:59No, no.
01:12:00I'm on it.
01:12:03On it, on it, sir.
01:12:09Sir, you scored a rap from Drew Simpson, only to be jumped by some kid who stole it.
01:12:15And you saw the same kid driving around the estate a couple of days later, and you lobbed a wheel
01:12:19at his windscreen.
01:12:20Nah, no way.
01:12:22Honestly, Wes, we don't care about that.
01:12:24This kid could be up on a murder charge.
01:12:26That's what we care about.
01:12:27So why don't we forget about the windscreen and the rap, and you look at these photos and pick out
01:12:31a face?
01:12:47I'm really worried about Glenn.
01:12:49I can't get hold of him.
01:12:50He said he was getting in the car, and he was heading right here.
01:12:53He should be back by now.
01:12:56We've had reports of gunshots and a silver car driving erratically on the Oving Dean Road.
01:13:00From there to CID, there can't be more than three or four credible routes between them.
01:13:04I want marked cars sweeping them now.
01:13:12Hold it tight.
01:13:19He said, if you don't want me to leave you here, you need to start talking.
01:13:25Now.
01:13:29It's Seb.
01:13:31Seb?
01:13:35Was it Seb you shot that customer?
01:13:40Chris?
01:13:43Was that Seb?
01:13:49What was it, Damien?
01:13:52Damien was at home with Mum.
01:13:53Of course he was.
01:13:54Thurming up his alibi.
01:14:03Seb was always desperate to impress him.
01:14:06Yeah, I wanted to be Damien's number two.
01:14:08We were just all lost, really.
01:14:11Sleep working through life.
01:14:12What if Damien woke you up?
01:14:14Yeah.
01:14:16One Sunday, he dragged us up, ditching a beacon.
01:14:19Basic training, Damien called it.
01:14:23But the challenges...
01:14:25They just got more demanding.
01:14:27But it was addictive.
01:14:30No more.
01:14:31He started asking to commit crimes.
01:14:34He wanted to show us what we were capable of.
01:14:37There was nothing we couldn't do if we put our minds to it.
01:14:40He just wanted us to do our best.
01:14:42You didn't want to disappoint him.
01:14:45What about Chris?
01:14:47Did he disappoint him?
01:14:51Yeah.
01:14:52Chris wanted out after the first robbery.
01:14:55But Damien wasn't happy.
01:14:57He said quit and won't an option.
01:15:01Because you don't get to just walk away.
01:15:14What can I do for you?
01:15:16Yeah.
01:15:25My colleague, Glenn Branson, left here over an hour ago with John.
01:15:28And they never made it back.
01:15:30I suspect they were ambushed by Seb Willis.
01:15:33Who is armed and dangerous.
01:15:36Maybe they're stuck in traffic.
01:15:38Out of range.
01:15:43Come on, you must be able to relate to what I'm feeling.
01:15:45One of your men in danger, off comms.
01:15:48I think you're being a bit of a catastrophist.
01:15:51We're in Sussex.
01:15:52On a Tuesday afternoon.
01:15:56Alright, enough.
01:15:57You're the only one who can talk Seb down.
01:16:00I can't confirm any of these wild theories.
01:16:14I need to ask you some questions about your late husband, Hugo.
01:16:19You know there were question marks over his death?
01:16:21Oh, yeah.
01:16:23The detectives at Paddington thought he might have had a running with his dealer.
01:16:26And they may have been right about foul play.
01:16:29But wrong about the identity of the perpetrator.
01:16:32What?
01:16:32A friend of Damien's was overheard threatening him.
01:16:36Saying he'd tell the police about Hugo.
01:16:38No.
01:16:39No.
01:16:40You're making it up.
01:16:41What if you've never wondered?
01:16:44Even for a second, if Damien had a hand in Hugo's death.
01:16:47That's an absurd idea, okay?
01:16:49Damien is the best thing that ever happened to me and John.
01:16:52End of story.
01:17:10John, mate.
01:17:11It's me.
01:17:13Where are you, bro?
01:17:17Wherever that cop has told you,
01:17:20if we take him out,
01:17:22we're in the clear.
01:17:22I've come to help you.
01:17:28Here.
01:17:30Seb.
01:17:33I'm here.
01:17:36I'm here.
01:17:46This is your bastards.
01:17:47Sweet!
01:17:52John!
01:17:54John, wait!
01:17:56If you want to see John again,
01:17:58you need to trust me, Carol.
01:18:00Did Damien tell you to lie about where he was this morning
01:18:03in the event the police should ask?
01:18:10Things got pretty bad for you, didn't they?
01:18:12So finding Carol and John,
01:18:13that must have felt like a second chance.
01:18:15You wanted Carol all to yourself.
01:18:17John needed a father.
01:18:19Hugo was just in a way, wasn't he?
01:18:21Then, when you finally got your hands dirty
01:18:23at the building society raid,
01:18:24I think you were forced by Gary Owens.
01:18:26He blackmailed you over Hugo's murder.
01:18:30Gary's just a guy I got to know playing basketball.
01:18:33Look.
01:18:34Whatever you've done,
01:18:35I know you're a good man.
01:18:37And that deep down,
01:18:38you want what's best for me and John.
01:18:41Especially John.
01:18:42So if there's anything you could do to help him,
01:18:45anything,
01:18:46I beg you to do it.
01:18:50V.
01:18:50The last cell data from Glenn's phone
01:18:52paint at the old Pisteen school building.
01:18:54We're sending firearms there now.
01:18:55Okay, thanks.
01:19:00That's you, isn't it, Damien?
01:19:03Forensic gate analysis is just one of the ways
01:19:05that we are going to prove it.
01:19:07Call Seb and stand him down.
01:19:10You need to save your stepson,
01:19:12and you need to do it now.
01:19:14No.
01:19:21Oof.
01:19:23Oof.
01:19:24Oof.
01:19:51There's a fire extinguisher.
01:19:55Stop!
01:20:00Kneel down on the ground and place your hands behind your backs.
01:20:05Do it!
01:20:18Seb, why? Why did you kill Chris?
01:20:21Chris was gonna snitch and he got what was coming to him.
01:20:25Damien knew I was the only one with the balls to do it.
01:20:28Just think about what you're doing.
01:20:30But why is it that you're wielding that gun and not Damien?
01:20:33And why are you cleaning up the mess?
01:20:36Taking all that risk?
01:20:37It's because he doesn't care.
01:20:41He does not give a toss about you.
01:20:48Sir?
01:20:49Seb.
01:20:50How are you?
01:20:51I've got the situation under control sir.
01:20:54Both parties neutralised.
01:20:56Neutralised?
01:20:58Pin down sir.
01:21:00What should I do?
01:21:06Did you hear that?
01:21:07Don't let John go.
01:21:09I can't lose him.
01:21:12I can't lose him.
01:21:26I can't lose him.
01:21:37I can't blame him if they can't grab it.
01:21:41It has predictably messy results.
01:21:49Kill them both.
01:22:00I can't lose him.
01:22:05I will kill you!
01:22:06No!
01:22:06Leave them!
01:22:06Leave them!
01:22:07Leave them!
01:22:08Please don't leave them.
01:22:17down. Go on. Do it. A bit of time inside might soften you up. Give me the gun. This isn't
01:22:34you. Give me the gun.
01:22:49Okay, thanks for you. Wait. I don't know what you see when you look in the mirror. War hero,
01:22:58mentor. I'll tell you what I see. Just a pathetic little criminal who has ruined those boys lives.
01:23:30Yeah, I'll be worried there for a second, Pop. You know what? The beers are on you. I mean,
01:23:40phone and wallet are part of an active crime scene. Okay, fair enough. Kevin Spinello might be joining us.
01:23:47I'm not buying that parcel and drink.
01:23:55Oh, I think this might be for you.
01:23:59Hey, Harry. Glenn, I've been trying to call you. Roy told me what happened. Thank God you're
01:24:03all right. You're not injured. I think that's enough heroics for one day.
01:24:10Harry. Harry. Harry, talk to me.
01:24:14Harry. Harry.
01:24:24Harry, you're okay? Harry, you're okay? You're okay? You're okay? You're not hurt. You're sure? You're not hurt.
01:24:30You're okay? You're not hurt. Promise. You're okay.
01:24:32Wait. So much. It's okay.
01:24:41No dawg.
01:24:46So much!
01:24:49Again, I think I love you, too.
