09:47I know, I know, but I'm trying everything.
09:56I'm sorry.
10:04I know.
10:09But that's what drugstores, isn't it?
10:12So what are you going to do?
10:18Hey, are you all right?
10:24You all right?
10:25Yeah.
10:25I'm sorry, Ian. What are you feeling, man?
10:27Oh, fuck me. What am I doing?
10:34I wouldn't let him take it.
10:36Are you taking?
10:38No, I don't think anything, man.
10:39I just want to take the kids' house on those eight trunks.
10:41I'm sorry to get to find the same kids.
10:43Speak to Brian here the way out, all right?
10:44Sorry.
10:45Good, man. Sorry.
10:46OK.
10:47Thank you for allowing us to speak to you, OK?
10:49It's all right, Joe, yeah.
10:50Keep an eye on him, OK?
10:52He's not a last, he knows you.
10:53He may not, but this is not the place for someone in France himself.
10:56I know, I know.
10:56The problem is here, we're the police, OK?
10:58I'm not a doctor, I'm not a certainly not a heart doctor.
11:00Thank you for coming here and looking at him.
11:01But all we can do is phone, make a couple phone calls, OK?
11:04OK?
11:06Strewing across this flat, there are signs of drug use.
11:11No one does drugs in this...
11:13Now, I don't want to be...
11:15Right.
11:17Francie's well known in the drug using community, I think that's fair enough to say.
11:20Yes.
11:20Yes.
11:20Yes.
11:22So there's, you know, I don't know the ins and outs, the intricacies of all that, OK?
11:25I don't know.
11:25There's evidence of drug use around this flat.
11:27Yeah, can I speak?
11:27There's a thousand people living this out.
11:29That's grand.
11:30So the scales in the kitchen, they're covered in white powder at the minute, which is fresh.
11:34Very fresh.
11:35Take them, won't you?
11:36He's not taking them with me.
11:37There's, you know...
11:37What's the big deal?
11:38But don't tell me there's no evidence of drug use in the flat, Fran, 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?
11:44There's the drug use in my mind then.
11:46Come here a minute, I'll show you, come here.
11:47No, no, no, no.
11:48I told you, the junkie service.
11:49Come here and I'll show you the junkies.
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.
11:59Look how clean I have it though.
12:01Right.
12:02Right.
12:04Needles, scales, mobile phones, diazepans, shark boxes.
12:07Right, just leave it all there, but you know...
12:09A ladder in front of me, the dude's stuck in the back alley somewhere, you know what I mean?
12:13So, if he weren't hitting the drugs at a ladder, he'd probably be able to know.
12:16That's grand, but don't tell him he's not having the drug use in the flat ground.
12:18That's what I'm sending.
12:27Bye bye, Francie.
12:39Brilliant, isn't it?
12:41He's just got a thing about his nose, mate.
12:43Can't swallow, can't speak.
12:44And he's lost about three stone from my left.
12:46I saw him about two weeks ago.
12:48Ah, he looks horrendous, mate.
12:50Yep.
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.
12:58So, the problem here is, please walk away from this, yes.
13:02And Francie dies on that mattress tonight.
13:06And they go, were you in contact with Francie?
13:07What did 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.
13:14Or one's going to ring the welcome centre, who provide homeless services.
13:16And I'll get the girls to phone the hospital and social services.
13:19There's nothing more physically we can do.
13:20Do you know what I mean?
13:23I have never seen it like that in my life.
13:24Not there, it's like something out of a chain spot, isn't it?
13:26It's horrendous.
13:27It's horrendous.
13:32I'm really shocked.
13:34I, for the last 20 years, have been coming to a restaurant that'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.
13:49There'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 do you have my heart?
14:10Because she's got a dog.
14:13I don't know.
14:14Just because it's a bit...
14:15It's a bit grim, but it's what you're used to.
14:18That's grim in itself, and it's what you're used to.
14:21Yeah, it's just...
14:21That has got to affect you, seeing that type of stuff.
14:25There's some calls that would affect me more than others.
14:28But stuff like that doesn't...
14:30Wouldn't affect me.
14:34I just don't think it's a natural life, is it?
14:36No, it's not.
14:37The stuff you see is horrendous.
14:39Yeah.
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 fellow jumped off the roof,
15:00he just passed where this car is,
15:02is where he landed, at that grating.
15:04And he jumped.
15:06And he landed outside that door.
15:10And then this is where we jumped out and did CPR.
15:12Has it stayed with you?
15:15Massively. Massively.
15:17Yeah.
15:17What has?
15:18I don't know.
15:19Like, I have been to loads of...
15:21I've been to 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 corners.
15:39A court file.
15:41Which needs to be in in two weeks and I haven't even started it,
15:43because I just...
15:44I don't like it.
15:45I really don't.
15:45I don't know what it is.
15:46Honestly, I never thought I'd be that person
15:47who lets that sort of thing annoy me, but...
15:49And what is it?
15:50Is 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,
15:56the amount of times I've dreamt about it is mad.
15:59Dreamt about what?
16:00Him jumping or you jumping him?
16:02Yeah.
16:02Like, the whole thing happening again.
16:05It's weird, like.
16:07Was he old?
16:08No, he was 28.
16:10What?
16:10I 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.
16:27It was truly awful.
16:28Sounds awful.
16:29You know, I obviously had a chat with her
16:31and 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.
16:43How you gonna look tonight?
16:46I'm starting to realise the sheer range of things
16:49we expect these officers to deal with.
16:51From minor calls...
16:53Pull your trousers up there.
16:55They're around your ankles.
16:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:57Watch yourself.
16:58That's it.
16:59Tighten that belt.
17:00Make sure they don't fall down again.
17:03Good man.
17:06I was really expecting him to stand up there
17:08and 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
17:23because you don't know what will not come back to catch you.
17:26I think that's true.
17:27You don't know which one will end up affecting you
17:29in, like, ten years down.
17:32Aye.
17:34Does any sit with you at the minute?
17:36Yeah.
17:39We were just working, like, a quiet night shift
17:40and it was maybe four or five in the morning
17:44and we were over refueling.
17:46Not much was happening and then a call came in saying,
17:48I'm going to CPR.
17:49I think they're a three-month-old baby.
17:51So we were maybe a minute away.
17:54So we rushed round to the house
17:55but, unfortunately, the baby had already died.
17:59There was a paramedic who was just crying in the bedroom.
18:02I was just sat looking at a baby who was dead.
18:06Like, it's not...
18:08It's not normal, but then at the same time,
18:10like, it's heartbreaking for the family, you know?
18:12They had another child and the mum was just sitting
18:14in the living room with the other child,
18:16just pretending nothing really was happening.
18:21And then we were just stood in the house
18:23and, obviously, with both parents there,
18:26probably the worst day of their lives
18:28and we were 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.
18:35Which you almost...
18:36I can't lie and, you know, say I know how it feels
18:39because I've absolutely no idea how it feels
18:40and I can't ever imagine how it would feel,
18:43so there's nothing you can say in that situation.
18:44And why did that stay with you?
18:46Because it was horrendous.
18:47You know, I can literally visualise.
18:49I remember being there.
18:50I remember everything about it, so...
18:54But it's the expectation, then,
18:55that that happens to you,
18:56and ten minutes later, you know,
18:57you're out to a shoplifter
18:58or you're getting spat on or whatever,
19:00there's no break.
19:01It is relentless.
19:04Yeah.
19:07It's a job.
19:13It's the job.
19:14So many of these officers say that.
19:17But how do they brace themselves
19:19for something like that happening
19:21at any moment?
19:23Light and shade,
19:25anything can happen at any time.
19:34Perry, Adam and Jade are patrolling Belfast City Centre
19:37on a busy Saturday night.
19:40Leopard print must be all in, is it?
19:42Oh, wow, it's a rave.
19:44Do you like it?
19:46Not really, no.
19:48Depends.
19:49On?
19:51The quantity of it.
19:55It's all right in, like, small doses.
19:59A man catches Perry's attention.
20:01I don't know.
20:02What is he?
20:02What's he doing?
20:07Suddenly, he throws his drink
20:09towards Jade's open window.
20:11He's going to throw.
20:17How are you, mate?
20:18Mate, calm yourself.
20:20Calm yourself.
20:22Give me your hands.
20:23Put your hands out.
20:24You threw a glass at the car.
20:25Put your hands out.
20:26Put your hands out.
20:27Put there now.
20:28I watched you out the window.
20:29Yeah.
20:29Step back.
20:31I see you 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!
20:57Stop resisting!
20:58Stop resisting!
20:59Do you have that camera?
21:01To 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 fast.
21:15For the first time ever, Perry hits his emergency button.
21:20Uniform officer, I walk under.
21:22Can you get his assistance to Library Street?
21:26Mike 600 of you eyes on the crew there calling for assistance.
21:30Oh, shit.
21:33Mike 600 of you eyes on that crew.
21:37Savage!
21:39Go, Kevin!
21:41Look, folks, stand back.
21:43Get back.
21:50I'm trying.
21:52I'm trying.
21:52Stop spitting.
21:53There'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.
21:58Stop kicking.
22:02Get that on.
22:03You 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 fuck out of my face now.
22:09Stop trying to kick out.
22:11Where's that false name?
22:12I know you are.
22:12I know you are.
22:13I know you are.
22:13No, you don't.
22:13I know you are.
22:13I know you the fuck who you are.
22:14All right.
22:17Straight on.
22:17Just keep going straight.
22:22Uniform Sierra 101 arrival.
22:27Ooh.
22:35Don't just stay close to me.
22:39What the fuck?
22:44Is your foot underneath him?
22:45Ah, yes.
22:46Get your foot from underneath.
22:48And there's anyone with him yet.
22:49Yeah!
22:52All right, ready?
22:52Hold on, I think you're over my head now.
22:56They're not all in that great, but they're all...
22:59What are you doing, Dad?
23:01Crown control.
23:02A bit of crugs.
23:02And limber straights.
23:03Right, everybody start moving back!
23:05Move back!
23:06Move back!
23:07Here's limber straight inside.
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 and he's kicked me in the chest.
23:16He'll be right there now.
23:17Call sign's coming to the Telegraph.
23:19Is there any way of getting a truck through here on blues?
23:22Do you want to get up, mate?
23:23I'll fucking take it.
23:24Have enough?
23:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:30Sierra 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?
23:47Yeah.
23:49Cancel 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 now.
23:55Stephen Nolan!
23:56Is that you?
24:01What?
24:05What?
24:06What?
24:08What?
24:08What?
24:09What?
24:09What?
24:09What?
24:09What?
24:09Are you OK?
24:09Are you hurt?
24:10No, we're all good.
24:11You're all right?
24:11Yeah.
24:12With the man cuffed to the front, Adam 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?
24:24Stop spittin'.
24:25Stop spittin'.
24:26Stop spittin'.
24:26You're spittin'.
24:27You're spittin'.
24:28You're spittin'.
24:28Stop spittin'.
24:29Ted!
24:31Close the door.
24:32Close the door.
24:33I need to get out here.
24:34Come on.
24:34He's spittin' all over us here.
24:35Let's get him moved.
24:36Just go, go, go.
24:39Uniform, officer 100.
24:40Yeah, we're on our way to custody here.
24:51You're poof.
24:52We'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 wouldn't let me.
24:59Well, that's good for you.
25:00Oh, you fucking Lisbeth.
25:05What's that going there for me like that?
25:06I mean, I didn't like that at all.
25:08You panicked me, like?
25:09It was the crowd more than anything.
25:11Here.
25:11You are some, you fucking idiot.
25:14First time in nearly eight years I've pushed that red button.
25:16First time in nearly eight years I've pushed that red button.
25:16I think you're awesome, you fucking idiot.
25:17First time in nearly eight years I've pushed that red button.
25:17That's whatever I heard of the emergency about.
25:19I was like, me and Tom were in the south.
25:22Hello, are you all right?
25:23No, I'm not all right.
25:23Fair enough.
25:24I wasn't with you initially, so don't blame me if they've annoyed you.
25:26Don't blame you too much.
25:28They're a bunch of fucking idiots.
25:29Fair enough.
25:31So we're driving up the street, you 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, stepping 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.
25:45Probably a good decision after how it went after that.
25:48He's on this side.
25:49Yep.
25:50He's a brave lump, that guy.
25:54Get a hand if I don't even fuck one.
25:56You all 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 couldn't get control of his arms and the crowd was getting
26:15really aggressive for no reason.
26:17Not like she's really okay.
26:20I want to get the spit off this car because that's a tournament.
26:30I'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 analyse.
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.
27:05Well, is that enough to have him, Perry?
27:08One step forward?
27:09Well, this is pre-emptive.
27:10He stepped forward 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.
27:22Okay.
27:49Next time on Peelers.
27:58The team tackle crime in the city centre and a serial car thief is still having nightmares
28:07about his past.
28:08How many people were in the car Kevin?
28:10Sixers and two died, is that right?
28:13It's over.
28:13I love you.
28:43Amen.
