02:34Jade and Dave in the front.
02:37Does anyone want anything?
02:39I'll have a flat-away piece.
02:40Well, you're bad. I'm not bad.
02:42I'm not bad.

02:53That's a blonde flat-white.
02:54Two blonde flat-whites, will you?

02:58That's right.
02:58No worries.
02:59There's a millionaire shortbread, please.
03:01Thanks very much.
03:03But he's not bad at all.
03:04Yeah, that's everything.
03:05No worries.
03:06Thanks.

03:09I'm not pimpin' it.
03:10I'm not pimpin'!
03:11Well, then we're going to sit here.
03:13Just drive on and say cancel the order.
03:14I'm not paying, I told you.
03:16I'm actually saying you're a pen for this.
03:18I'm not a pen for it.
03:19I have no money, my card's not working.
03:20You're a pen for it? I'm not.
03:21You are?
03:22You may just cancel the order now.
03:23That's my work phone.
03:23You can't pay for stuff with your work phone.
03:25You can tell the man you don't want it.
03:26Why don't you drive off for the crack, too?
03:29Take the coffee and just go.
03:30Let's just spit noodles with no time.
03:36I don't want the millionaire service
03:37I can't stop myself, she's doing that then, either.
03:39You're actually a joker.
03:40Don't let him pay us, Jade.
03:42Card, please.
03:43Jade, don't you dare.
03:44Jade, Jade, don't.
03:46Jade, that's embarrassing now for you.
03:48That is embarrassing for you.
03:49Why is it embarrassing?
03:50Do you need a cup holder?
03:51Do you want a cup holder?
03:52No, thanks.
03:53I can't believe you.
03:54That is shocking.
03:55That is shocking.
03:56I'm so done with you, honestly.
04:11Two lads are wrecking a house up Lisbon Road.
04:14Actively smashing the windows and stuff.
04:16Bottom end, the top end.
04:18It's now that, isn't it?
04:23You've passed it.
04:24Where?
04:25It's here.
04:25It's back there.
04:25Is it?
04:26Yes.
04:26For fuck's sake, Jade.
04:27I was trying to say to you, you've passed it.
04:35Jade, you're meant to be navigating.
04:37You said you knew where you were going?
04:38I thought it was different flats.
04:41Literally these apartments here.
04:42Here?
04:43Yeah.
04:47An upstairs property on the Lisbon Road has just had its windows bricked in broad daylight.
04:52Let's go up in.
05:03They break them in through the window, mate, did it?
05:04Literally, like, of course, I've burned out of it.
05:08Yeah, we're stuck at this, uh, we're going to be stuck at this Lisbon Road one here for a wee
05:12while.
05:14This might look like a normal, everyday incident, but quickly, police attention is drawn to a guy
05:20sitting on a dirty mattress with a tube up his nose. He's known to police as a drug addict.
05:26What do you want me to fancy?
05:28Do you look horrendous?
05:31Dave realises he's not only investigating the brick incident.
05:35He's in a drug den. And on top of that, he's dealing with squatters who have taken over the house.
06:09Who owns the flat? Whose flat is this?
06:13You don't own the windows?
06:14Yeah, I do.
06:15We're going round and round in circles here, Brian.
06:17I've been around a year and a half.
06:17I have more rights than the landlord.
06:19Do you want?
06:20I have more rights than a new lord.
06:22I have more rights than a landlord.
06:23Do you want the two customers?
06:25Do you?
06:25No, you don't have more rights than a landlord.
06:27You actually...
06:27There's what's called squatting rights, which is a legal matter between you and the landlord.
06:30Nothing to do with the police, all right?
06:31It's a civil matter.
06:32In the here and now.
06:33If you're all a captain, you're not helping me.
06:37You know, you've got all the fancy shops at the top of the road here.
06:40And then down here, just through this hole here, there's a guy sitting on the ground.
06:47And one of his mates says he's dying. It's just a different world.
06:55So you crash into houses and try to live in them over a year so that they can't put you
06:59out?
07:09He's dying?
07:11He's dying, yes sir.
07:16His heart disease, he's only 33 and that's all I have is him. I have no mother, no father, nothing.
07:25So why not?
07:31And what's this in your brother's...?
07:33That's just the feeling of telling noise.
07:35What's the pipe, the...?
07:37That goes right into his nose, into his stomach, so I'm feeling.
07:40He's in his heart disease, he has lung disease, and he had an infection in his blood.
07:47Well, he had a lot of problems, but he fought them all, but now it's no good. He's dying.
07:55How old are you?
07:57How are you three?
07:58Excuse me sir, I can't search the room, sir.
08:01I'm not searching rooms, I'm lawfully in a property brand.
08:03I have a lawful right to look around the property.
08:06See if my brother dies, I'm shooting every one of you, I swear to God.
08:09Well look, everything's being recorded, okay?
08:10It's not your property, you're squatting here.
08:13You're not living here, you're squatting here. Let's get the terminology right, okay?
08:16You don't own the property, you don't rent the property, you're squatting here, okay?
08:20So you can't give us a statement about criminal damage because you don't own those windows.
08:26You can't eat, no? You can't?
08:30And why can't, why can't you swallow?
08:32No.
08:37So you're living through feeding yourself from this tube, lying in this mattress.
08:42This is how you're living?
08:45And what has created the damage in the vials in his heart?
08:50What drugs?
08:53So Francie, cocaine has left you in this state?
09:04I'm sitting there, what do I say, but he's dying.
09:06No man, is that fair with me? Honestly, that really is a fair.
09:09It's hurting you, Brian, I can see that.
09:12Oh, how are you going in Wisconsin?
09:13Right, well look, listen, in terms of the here and now and the broken windows, right?
09:17The girls will be back tomorrow. If anyone turns up tonight, phone police.
09:20Yes, yes, you with me? I will phone the welcome centre or I'll phone a couple of folk to see
09:27about the housing situation.
09:46I'm sorry.
09:56I'm sorry.
10:04I know.
10:09But that's what drugs does, isn't it?
10:12So what are you going to do?
10:14I think I'm just...
10:20Hey, are you all right?
10:24You all right?
10:25Yeah.
10:25I'm sorry, Ian. What are you feeling, man?
10:33I wouldn't let him take it.
10:36Are you taken?
10:38No, I don't think I'm any.
10:39I just want to take the kids.
10:40I just want to take the kids.
10:42Speak to Brian here the way out, all right?
10:44I saw you.
10:45Good man.
10:45I saw you.
10:46OK.
10:47Thank you for allowing us to speak to you, OK?
10:49That's all I tell you.
10:50Keep an eye on him, OK?
10:52He may not, but this is not the place for someone in France's health.
10:56The problem is here, we're the police, OK?
10:58I'm not a doctor, I'm certainly not a heart doctor.
11:01But all we can do is make a couple of phone calls, OK?
11:06Strewn across this flat, there are signs of drug use.
11:11No one does drugs in this...
11:13Now, I don't want to be...
11:17Francie's well-known in the drug-using community.
11:18I think that's a fair enough thing to say.
11:20Yes, yes.
11:22So there's, you know, I don't know the ins and outs,
11:24the intricacies of all that, OK?
11:25There's evidence of drug use around this flat.
11:29That's grand.
11:30So the scales in the kitchen, they're covered in white powder at the minute,
11:33which is fresh, very fresh.
11:35They're not taking them with me, they're just, you know...
11:38But don't tell me there's no evidence of drug use in the flat, all right?
11:40There's not.
11:42Fran, do you want me to walk around and show you?
11:43I'm not going to insult your intelligence, all right?
11:45There's no drug use in my name.
11:46Come here a minute to show you, come here.
11:47No, no, no, no, I told you.
11:49There's drug use in the flat.
11:49Come here and I'll show you the drug use.
11:50Look how clean I have this place.
11:51Yeah, no, it's lovely.
11:52It's looking well.
11:53Look how clean I have this place.
11:55I just told you, look how clean I have this place.
11:58Right, Fran, come here.
11:59No.
11:59Look how clean I have it, though.
12:01Fran.
12:01Yes.
12:02Right.
12:04Needles, scales, mobile phones, diazepam, shark boxes.
12:07Right, just leave it all there, but, you know...
12:09I'd rather do it in front of me, the dude's stuck in the back alley somewhere,
12:12you know what I mean?
12:13So, if you weren't hitting the drugs, I'd rather do it in front of me.
12:15But, no, dude.
12:16That's grand, but don't tell me there's no evidence of drug use in the flat,
12:18and that's what I'm saying.
12:27Bye-bye, Francie.
12:45Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye.
12:48So, the problem here is, please walk away from me.
12:50It's just on suit, completely on suit, for anyone to be standing.
12:54100%.
12:55Right, mate.
12:55All right, cheers.
12:56Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye.
12:58So, the problem here is, please walk away from this, yes?
13:02And Francie dies on that mattress tonight.
13:06And they go, are we in contact with Francie?
13:07What do you do about it?
13:08Do you know what I mean?
13:09But in reality, what can we do?
13:11I'm trying to phone an extern who provide addiction services.
13:13Owen's going to ring the welcome centre,
13:15who provide homeless services,
13:16and I'll get the girls the phone in the hospital and social services.
13:19There's nothing more physically we can do.
13:21Do you know what I mean?
13:22I have never seen it like that in my life.
13:24Right there, it's like something at a chain spot, isn't it?
13:26It's horrendous, it's horrendous.
13:32I'm really shocked.
13:34I, for the last 20 years, have been coming to a restaurant
13:37that's straight opposite this building.
13:39And to think that there's a human being in that state sitting there.
13:44And quite frankly, the only people who are here are the police.
13:48I don't know, there's something just fundamentally wrong here.
13:51And there is self-responsibility.
13:52And my goodness, send that film into schools.
13:56You're tempted to take drugs.
13:58That's where you might end up.
14:05Are you able to kind of go home and forget about that?
14:08Yeah.
14:09Why, Jade?
14:10Because she's got a dog.
14:12Er, I don't know, just because it's a bit,
14:15it's a bit grim, but it's what you're used to.
14:18But that's grim in itself, and it's what you're used to.
14:21Yeah, it's just...
14:21Like, that has got to affect you, seeing that type of stuff.
14:24There's some calls that would affect me more than others,
14:28but stuff like that doesn't, wouldn't affect me.
14:34I just don't think it's a natural life, is it?
14:36No, it's not.
14:37Seeing all that.
14:37The stuff you see is around us.
14:38Yeah.
14:41And now you're off to the next thing.
14:44Well...
14:45Yeah?
14:45Yeah.
14:50There's a price to pay for doing this job.
14:53Some of the things they see may never leave them.
14:58See, when that fella jumped off the roof,
15:00just past where this car is,
15:02is where he landed at that grating.
15:04And he jumped, and he landed outside that door.
15:10And then this is where we jumped out and did CPR.
15:12And has it stayed with you?
15:15Massively. Massively, yeah.
15:17What has?
15:18I don't know.
15:19Like, I have been to loads of hanging sudden deaths and stuff.
15:23And they're never pleasant, but you just sort of move on with it.
15:26I don't know why, but I just can't stop thinking about it.
15:36I have a file to do for it too.
15:38I have to do a coroner's court file,
15:40which needs to be in in two weeks and I haven't even started it,
15:43because I just... I don't like it.
15:45I really don't.
15:45I don't know what it is, honestly.
15:46I never thought I'd be that person who lets that sort of thing annoy me, but...
15:49And what is it? Is it the images of him lying there?
15:52Yeah, 100%.
15:54100%.
15:54Not to be dramatic about it, like,
15:55but I've genuinely, the amount of times I've dreamt about it is mad.
15:59Dreamt about what?
16:00Him jumping, or are you dreaming him?
16:02Yeah, like, the whole thing happening again.
16:05It's weird, like...
16:07Was he old?
16:08No, he was 28.
16:10What? That's bad crack.
16:11I had to go speak to his mum after as well,
16:13which was pretty horrific.
16:17Did she know by the time you got there?
16:18She was standing in Victoria Square waiting on him,
16:21and I went out later with his belongings.
16:25Ah, man, it was awful. It was truly awful.
16:28Was that awful?
16:29You know, I obviously had a chat with her and explained to her that I was there at the time,
16:32but it was really, really horrible.
16:39The impact on Adam is clear to see.
16:45I'm starting to realise the sheer range of things we expect these officers to deal with.
16:51From minor calls...
16:53Pull your trousers up there, they're around your ankles.
16:56Whoa, whoa, whoa, watch yourself.
16:58That's it.
16:59Tighten that belt, make sure they don't fall down again.
17:03Good man.
17:06I was really expecting him to stand up there and be a, like, steamy one on the footpath, like.
17:11So was I.
17:14To harrowing scenes nobody should ever have to see.
17:20You sort of have to learn to switch off when you get home, because you don't know what will
17:24not come back to catch you. I think that's true.
17:27You don't know which one will end up affecting you in, like, ten years down.
17:32Hi.
17:33Does any sit with you at the minute?
17:36Yeah.
17:38We were just working, like, a quiet night shift, and it was maybe four or five in the morning,
17:44and we were over refueling. Not much was happening, and then a call came in saying,
17:48oh, I'm going to CPR. I think they're a three-month-old baby. So we were maybe a minute away.
17:54So we rushed round to the house, but unfortunately the baby had already died.
17:59There was a paramedic who was just crying in the bedroom. I was just sat looking at a baby who
18:04was
18:04dead. Like, it's not normal, but then at the same time, like, it's heartbreaking for the family,
18:11you know. They had another child, and the mum was just sitting in the living room with the other
18:15child, just pretending nothing really was happening. And then we were just stood in the house, and
18:23obviously, with both parents there, probably the worst day of their lives, and we're just stood there.
18:30There's nothing you can do.
18:31And are you trained what to say?
18:33No, there's nothing you can say in that situation.
18:36I can't lie and, you know, say I know how it feels, because I've absolutely no idea how it feels,
18:40and I can't ever imagine how it would feel. So there's nothing you can say in that situation.
18:44Why did that stay with you?
18:45Because it was horrendous. You know, I can literally visualise. I remember being there,
18:50I remember everything about it, so.
18:54But it's the expectation then that that happens to you, and ten minutes later,
18:57you know, you're out to a shoplifter or you're getting spat on or whatever,
19:00there's no break. It is relentless.
19:04Yeah.
19:07It's the job.
19:14So many of these officers say that, but how do they brace themselves for something like that happening
19:21at any moment? Light and shade, anything can happen at any time.
19:34Perry, Adam and Jade are patrolling Belfast City Centre on a busy Saturday night.
19:40Leopard print must be all in, is it?
19:42Oh, wow. It's a rave. Do you like it?
19:46Not really, no. Depends.
19:49On?
19:51The quantity of it.
19:54It's all right. Like, small doses.
19:58A man catches Perry's attention.
20:07Suddenly, he throws his drink towards Jade's open window.
20:11He's going to throw.
20:16All right, mate.
20:19Calm yourself.
20:20Yeah, calm yourself. Give me your hands.
20:23What are you doing?
20:23Put your hands out.
20:24You threw a glass at the car.
20:25Put your hands out.
20:26Put your hands out.
20:27Yeah.
20:27Put there now.
20:28I watched you at the window.
20:29Yeah.
20:29Step back.
20:30I asked you to step back.
20:35The pepper spray causes no permanent injury.
20:38Stop resisting.
20:39But it floors this offender immediately.
20:44Hey, big man, stop resisting.
20:46Stop resisting.
20:47The suspect is refusing to release his hands to be cuffed.
20:51Stop resisting.
20:56Stop resisting.
20:59To be safe, they need to get him handcuffed.
21:05Just relax.
21:06Relax yourself.
21:07Stop resisting.
21:10The large crowd is closing in.
21:12They need help.
21:13Fast.
21:15For the first time ever, Perry hits his emergency button.
21:20Uniform officer, I want under.
21:22Can you get his assistance to Library Street?
21:24I need to be nearly.
21:26Mike, 600 of you eyes on the crew there, calling for assistance.
21:30Oh, shoot.
21:33Mike, 600 of you eyes on that crew.
21:38Oh, yeah.
21:40Look, folks, stand back.
21:42Get back.
21:44Can you just give me another.
21:45Are you slamming that too?
21:46Give us some space.
21:48Just back off for two seconds.
21:50I'm trying.
21:51I'm trying.
21:52I'm trying.
21:52Stop spitting.
21:53Hey, there's no need to lift your hands, everybody.
21:55Listen, shut up.
21:56I don't need to hear from you.
21:57I don't need to hear from you either.
21:58Just back off.
21:59Stop kicking.
22:02Get that on.
22:02You just kicked me in the chest.
22:04Oh, God, I see that.
22:05Yo, get the hell out of my face now.
22:06I'm not touching your face, am I?
22:08Get the fucking hell out of my face now.
22:09Stop trying to kick out.
22:11Where's that post?
22:11No, you don't.
22:12I know you are.
22:12No, you don't.
22:13I know you the fucking you are.
22:14All right.
22:17Straight on.
22:17Just keep going straight.
22:22Uniform, Sierra 101 arrival.
22:35Don't just stay close to me.
22:44Is your foot underneath him?
22:45Ah, yes.
22:46Do you hear your foot from underneath?
22:47There was anyone with him yet.
22:49Yeah!
22:52All right, ready?
22:52Hold on.
22:56They're not all in that great, but they're all...
22:59What do you need done?
23:01Crown control.
23:01Bit of crack.
23:02And limerish fiends.
23:03Right, everybody start moving back.
23:05Move back.
23:06Move back.
23:07Here's limerish fiending side there.
23:09Right.
23:10You get one in.
23:12Move back.
23:13I'm not going to keep asking.
23:14Well, he's on the ground then.
23:15He's kicked me in the chest.
23:17Call sign's coming to the Telegraph.
23:19Is there any way of getting a truck through here on Blues?
23:23Have enough?
23:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:29Yeah, Sierra 101.
23:31There's a male being restrained on the ground here.
23:33Quite a large crowd gathering round.
23:34Can we just try and get a truck through to get him into the back of it?
23:43If we can get him into this car.
23:49Yeah, cancel my last there.
23:50You're not going to get through.
23:51I think they're going to try and get him into this police car.
23:53There's taxis queued right back, man.
23:54Is this queued?
23:55Stephen Nolan, is that you?
23:59Bring your legs in.
24:00Lift your legs in.
24:01How the fuck am I doing?
24:02All right, Major, under arrest for attempted criminal damage,
24:04disorderly behaviour.
24:05What?
24:06Resist an arrest and assaulting police, OK?
24:09Are you OK? Are you hurt?
24:10No, we're all good.
24:11You're all right?
24:11Yeah.
24:12With the man cuffed to the front,
24:15Adam is worried about being choked from behind.
24:18Get someone in.
24:18I'm not driving on my own with him if someone could jump in.
24:21Do what?
24:22Stop spitting.
24:25Stop spitting.
24:25You're sprimming the face with something.
24:27You're sprimming real bits.
24:28Stop spitting.
24:29Yes!
24:30Close the door.
24:32Close the door.
24:33I need to get on you.
24:33Come on.
24:34He's spitting all over us here.
24:35Let's get him moved.
24:36Just go, go, go.
24:38Uniform, Officer 100.
24:40Yeah, we're on our way to custody here.
24:51You're poof.
24:52And we're in custody, OK?
24:53So then we'll give you a chance to wipe your nose and all the rest.
24:56All right, listen, my love.
24:58I've been in custody when she would love me.
24:59Well, that's good for you.
25:00Oh, you fucking Lisbeth.
25:05What are they going there for me like that?
25:06I mean, I didn't like that at all.
25:08You panicked, my love?
25:09It was the crowd more than anything.
25:11Yeah, you are some, you fucking idiot.
25:14First time in nearly eight years I've pushed that red button.
25:17That's whatever I heard of the emergency about.
25:19And I was like, me and Tom were in the south.
25:21Hello, are you all right?
25:22No, I'm not all right.
25:23Fair enough.
25:24I wasn't with you initially, so don't blame me if they even know you.
25:26Don't blame you.
25:27Do you mind?
25:28They're a bunch of fucking idiots.
25:29Fair enough.
25:31So we're driving up the street.
25:31You can see the drink on the car.
25:34It's through a glass at the police car.
25:36Then he's denied it was him.
25:37Been threatening towards me and Jade, sort of clenching fists,
25:40stepping towards us.
25:41He's told to step back a couple of times, so rather than take any chances,
25:44I just sprayed on my papa.
25:46Probably a good decision after how it went after that.
25:48He's on this side.
25:49Yeah, he's a brave lump like that.
25:54Get a hand with his own a fuck-man.
25:56All right?
25:57Yep.
26:01All right, thank you.
26:06That's the first time I've ever heard Perry hit his emergency.
26:08He was, we were getting concerned.
26:10We were getting concerned because we, we couldn't get control of his arms and
26:14the crowd was getting really aggressive for no reason.
26:17Not like she's really okay.
26:20I want to get the spit off this car because that's turning me.
26:29I'm sure some of you are still wondering if Perry really needed to use that pepper spray.
26:35That was a split second judgment that the rest of us have endless time to analyze.
26:40What he didn't know at the time was that the offender had six previous convictions for assaulting police.
26:48As we went to speak to him, he stepped forward.
26:52Yeah.
26:53And I think from memory, I've pushed him back to create that sort of gap between me and him,
26:56that if he did kick off, he'd have a wee bit of time to react.
27:00Step back.
27:01I've told him to get back.
27:02He stepped forward then.
27:05But is that enough to have him, Perry?
27:08One step forward?
27:09Well, this is pretty empty.
27:10If he stepped forward and in an aggressive manner, you know,
27:17Yeah, so I'd say that, I mean, what's the next move?
27:20Take a slap in the mouth.
27:49Next time on Peelers.
27:51Get us location, we'll head that way.
27:53Be ready to run here, kid.
27:58Stop there!
27:59The team tackle crime in the city centre.
28:04And a serial car thief is still having nightmares about his past.
28:08And how many people were in the car, Kevin?
28:10Six.
28:11And two died, is that right?
28:13It's all right, man.
28:43But we're there, poor people who left.
28:45But Mother says you must find that door's request.
