03:57honestly
04:00do you
04:01do you
04:11two lads are wrecking a house
04:13up to Lisbon Road
04:14actively smashing the windows and stuff
04:16bottom end they're talking
04:18it's new that
04:19you passed them
04:24Where? It's here. It's back there. Is it? For f***s sake, Jade.
04:27I was trying to say to you, you 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. Here? Yeah.
04:47An upstairs property on the Lisbon Road
04:49has just had its windows bricked in broad daylight.
04:52Let's go up in.
04:54Let's go up in.
05:03They break them in through the window, mate, didn't it?
05:05Literally, like, of course, they burned out of it.
05:08Yeah, we're stuck at this, uh...
05:10We're going to be stuck at this Lisbon Road one here for a wee while.
05:14This might look like a normal, everyday incident,
05:17but quickly, police attention is drawn
05:19to a guy sitting on a dirty mattress
05:21with a tube up his nose.
05:23He's known to police as a drug addict.
05:26What?
05:27What's wrong with Francie?
05:28You look horrendous.
05:31Dave realises he's not only investigating the brick incident.
05:35He's in a drug den.
05:37And on top of that, he's dealing with squatters
05:40who have taken over the house.
05:42Who owns the flat? Whose flat is this?
05:45It's your flat and Francie's staying out.
05:48The lads are squatting here, OK?
05:49They've been squatting here for a year and a half.
05:51We know that now.
05:52I'm more licensed than a landlord, basically.
05:53That's the discussion between you and your landlord, OK?
05:55I have no power to remove you from this place right now.
05:57It's between the landlord, OK?
05:59So, in terms of who owns the windows,
06:01you don't own the windows,
06:01so I can't take a statement or a complaint from you
06:03around criminal damage to your windows.
06:04We need to speak to the landlords tomorrow.
06:07So, in the interim tonight,
06:08if someone comes back and does any damage to your windows,
06:09or you feel there's any issues,
06:10pick up the phone in front of the police.
06:13You don't own the windows.
06:36You know, you've got all the fancy shops at the top of the road here,
06:39and then down here, just through this hole here,
06:44there's a guy sitting on the ground,
06:47and one of his mates says he's dying.
06:49It's just a different world.
06:55So, you crash into houses and try to live in them over a year
06:58so that they can't put you out?
07:11He's dying?
07:12He's dying, yes, sir.
07:31And what's this in your brother's...?
07:33That's just the feeling of telling that he's...
07:35What's the pipe...?
07:37That goes right into his nose, into his stomach,
07:40so I can feel him.
07:41It's a heart disease.
07:43He has lung disease.
07:45And he had an infection in his blood.
07:47He had a lot of problems, but he fought them all,
07:49but now it's no good.
07:51He's dying.
07:55How old are you?
07:57How are you three?
07:58Excuse me, sir.
08:00I'm not searching rooms.
08:01I'm not searching rooms.
08:02I'm lawfully in a property, Brian.
08:03I have a lawful right to look around the property.
08:10You're not living here, you're squatting here.
08:15Let's get the terminology right, okay?
08:16You don't own the property.
08:18You don't rent the property.
08:19You're squatting here, okay?
08:21So you can't give us a statement about criminal damage
08:22because you don't own those windows.
08:26You can't eat, no?
08:28You can't...
08:30And why can't...
08:31Why can't you swallow?
08:37So you're living through feeding yourself from this tube,
08:40lying 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?
08:58What did he say?
09:04What did he say?
09:05What do I say?
09:05He's dying.
09:06Is that fair with me?
09:08Honestly, it really is a failure.
09:09It's hurting you, Brian.
09:10I can see that.
09:12Oh, you don't understand.
09:13Hey, well, look, listen.
09:14In terms of the hearing now and the broken windows, right?
09:17The guards will be back tomorrow.
09:19If anyone turns up tonight, phone police.
09:20Yes, you with me?
09:22I will phone the Welcome Centre
09:26or I'll phone a couple of folk to see about the housing situation.
09:30I lost all my family.
09:32I lost my family.
09:33I lost my grandfather.
09:34I lost my brother.
09:35I lost my wife.
09:37I lost everything.
09:39All I have is a baby brother left.
09:41Francie's my foot in the grave.
09:42Look at me.
09:46I'm sorry.
09:57I'm sorry.
10:02I know.
10:03I'm sorry.
10:05I know.
10:06Do you want to go and say something else?
10:08No.
10:09But that's what drugs does, isn't it?
10:12So what are you going to do?
10:14I think I'm just...
10:15It's not possible.
10:17Right?
10:18It's not possible.
10:19It's not possible.
10:20Yeah, you all right?
10:24You all right?
10:25Yeah.
10:25I'm sorry.
10:26I know you're feeling alone.
10:28I know.
10:34I know.
10:34I wouldn't let him take anything.
10:35What?
10:36Are you taking?
10:38No, I don't think anything.
10:39We're taking the kids now.
10:40Some of the eight drugs now,
10:41somebody get the fight to see my kids.
10:43Speak to Brian here the way out, all right?
10:45Sorry.
10:45Good, man.
10:46OK.
10:47Thank you for allowing us to speak to you.
10:49OK?
10:49It's all right, Joe, yeah.
10:50Keep an eye on him.
10:51OK?
10:52You've got a last year also.
10:53Well, he may not.
10:54but this is not the place for someone who transfers himself.
10:56I know. I know.
10:57The problem is here, we're the police, OK? I'm not a doctor,
10:59I'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.
11:12Now, I don't want to be...
11:15..of drugs. Right.
11:17Francie's well-known in the drug-using community.
11:18I think that's a fair enough thing to say. Yes? Yes.
11:21Yes. So, you know, I don't know the ins and outs,
11:24the intricacies of all that, OK?
11:25There's evidence of drug use round this flat.
11:27Yeah, I can really speak. There's a thousand people living in this house.
11:29That's grand. So the scales in the kitchen,
11:32they're covered in white powder at the minute, which is fresh. Very fresh.
11:35Take them, won't you?
11:36I'm not taking them with me.
11:38But don't tell me there's no evidence of drug use in the flat, Fran.
11:41There's not.
11:42Fran, do you want me to walk round and show you?
11:43I'm not going to insult your intelligence, all right?
11:45There's no drug use in my mind, then.
11:46Come here a minute to show you. Come here.
11:47No, I told you. There's drug use every...
11:49Come here, I'll show you the drug use.
11:50Look how clean I have this place.
11:52Yeah, no, it's lovely. Look how clean I have this place.
11:58Right, Fran, come here.
11:59Look how clean I have it, though.
12:01Right. Right.
12:04Needles, scales, mobile phones, diazepam, short boxes.
12:07Right, just leave it all there, but, you know...
12:09A lot of people thought of being the dude stuck in the back alley somewhere,
12:12you know what I mean?
12:13So if he wanted to hit the drugs, a lot of people thought of being...
12:16That's grand, but don't tell me there's no evidence of drug use in the flat, Fran.
12:18That's what I'm saying.
12:23That's grand, but don't tell me there's no evidence of drug use in the flat, Fran.
12:27Bye-bye, Francie.
12:39Burn, isn't it?
12:42Just got a finge above his nose, mate.
12:43Can't swallow, can't speak.
12:44And he's lost about three stone from my loss.
12:46I saw him about two weeks ago.
12:48Ah, he looks horrendous, mate.
12:50Yeah.
12:50It's just unsuit, completely unsuitable for anyone to be standing.
12:54100%.
12:55Right, mate.
12:55All right, cheers.
12:56Bye.
12:57Bye-bye, bye.
12:58So the problem here is the police walk away from this, yes?
13:02And Francie dies on that mattress tonight.
13:06And they go, have we had 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.
13:14Owen's going to ring the Welcome Centre, who 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?
13:23I have never seen it like that in my life.
13:25Not there.
13:25It's like something at a train spot, isn't it?
13:26It's horrendous.
13:27It's horrendous.
13:33I'm really shocked.
13:34I, for the last 20 years, have been coming to a restaurant
13:38that's straight opposite this building.
13:40And to think that there's a human being in that state, sitting there.
13:43And 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?
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.
14:18But 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...
14:31wouldn't affect me.
14:34I just don't think it's a natural life, is it?
14:37No, it's not.
14:37Seeing all that.
14:38The stuff you see is horrendous.
14:39Yeah.
14:41And now you're off to the next thing.
14:44Well...
14:45Yeah?
14:46Yeah.
14:50There's a price to pay for doing this job.
14:53Some of the things they say may never leave them.
14:58See, when that fella jumped off the roof,
15:00he just passed where his car is,
15:02is where he landed,
15:04at that grating.
15:05And he jumped.
15:06And he landed outside that door.
15:10And then this is where we jumped out and did CPR.
15:12And has it...
15:13Has it stayed with you?
15:15Massively.
15:16Massively.
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,
15:27but 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.
15:40Court file.
15:41Which needs to be in in two weeks,
15:42and 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, honestly.
15:47I never thought I'd be that person
15:48who lets that sort of thing annoy me, but...
15:50Is it the images of him lying there?
15:52Yeah, 100%.
15:54Not to be dramatic about it, like,
15:56but I've genuinely,
15:56the amount of times I've dreamt about it,
15:58is mad.
16:00Dreamt about what?
16:01Him jumping, or are you dreaming?
16:02Like, the whole thing happening again.
16:05It's...
16:06It's weird, like...
16:07Was he old?
16:08No, he was 28.
16:10What?
16:11That's a bad crack.
16:11Had to go speak to his mum after as well,
16:13which was pretty...
16:15horrific.
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.
16:25Erm...
16:25Ah, man, it was awful.
16:27It was truly awful.
16:28Was that as awful?
16:29You know, I obviously had a chat with her
16:31and explained to her that I was there at the time,
16:33but it was really, really horrible, like...
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.
17:00Tighten that belt.
17:01Make sure they don't fall down again.
17:03Good, man.
17:06I was really expecting him to stand up there
17:08and be a big 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 one will come back to catch you.
17:26Like, that's true.
17:27You don't know which one will end up affecting you
17:30in, like, ten years time.
17:32Aye.
17:33Does any sit with you at the minute?
17:36Yeah.
17:39We were just working, like, a quiet night shift
17:41and 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
17:48ongoing CPR, I think the 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.
18:07Like, it's not...
18:08It's not normal, but then at the same time, like,
18:10it's heartbreaking for the family to know.
18:12They had another child and the mum was just sitting
18:14in the living room with the other child just pretending...
18:18Nothing 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.
18:32And you trained what they say?
18:33No, there's nothing you can say in that situation.
18:35Which 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
18:41and I can't ever imagine how it would feel,
18:43so there's nothing you can say in that situation.
18:45And why did that stay with you?
18:46Because it was horrendous.
18:47You know, I can literally visualise.
18:50I remember being there,
18:50I remember everything about it, so...
18:54But it's the expectation then
18:55that that happens to you and ten minutes later,
18:57you know, you'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 at any moment?
19:23Light and shade,
19:24anything can happen at any time.
19:28Yeah!
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 contrary of it.
19:54It's all right, Nick.
19:57Small doses.
19:58A 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 towards Jade's open window.
20:11He's going to throw.
20:12He's going to throw.
20:17How are you, mate?
20:18It's a drink.
20:18Mate, calm yourself.
20:20What are you at?
20:21Calm yourself.
20:22Give 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.
20:27Put your hands out.
20:27Put there now.
20:28I watched you out the window.
20:29Step back.
20:31I 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.
20:47Stop resisting.
20:48The suspect is refusing to release his hands to be cuffed.
20:51Stop resisting.
20:56Stop resisting.
20:58Stop resisting.
20:59To be safe, they need to get him handcuffed.
21:05Just relax.
21:06Relax yourself.
21:08Stop resisting.
21:10The large crowd is closing in.
21:12They need help.
21:14Fast.
21:15For the first time ever, Perry hits his emergency button.
21:20Uniform officer.
21:21I walk under.
21:22Can you get his assistance to Library Street?
21:24Immediately.
21:26Mike, 600 of you eyes on the crew there, calling for assistance.
21:30Ah, shit.
21:33Mike, 600 of you eyes on that crew.
21:41Look, folks.
21:42Stand back.
21:43Get back.
21:43I don't like the floor.
21:45Can you just give me a little bit?
21:45Can you slam her that too?
21:46Yeah, really?
21:47Give us some space.
21:48Just back off for two seconds.
21:49Yeah.
21:49Just get back off.
21:51I'm trying.
21:51I'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.
21:58Just back off.
21:59Stop kicking.
22:02Get that on.
22:03You just kicked me in the chest.
22:04I don't need to hear from you.
22:06I'm not touching your face, am I?
22:08Get the fucking head off my face now.
22:09I'm not touching your face, am I?
22:09Stop trying to kick out.
22:10I know who you are.
22:11Where's that phone sign?
22:12No, you don't.
22:12I know who you are.
22:13No, you don't.
22:13I know who you fucking are.
22:14All right.
22:17Straight on.
22:17Just keep going straight.
22:22Uniform CR101 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?
22:48Never seen anyone with him yet.
22:49Yeah!
22:52All right, ready?
22:53Hold on, I think you're all right.
22:54All right, now.
22:56They're not all in that great, but they're all.
22:59What do you need, Dad?
23:01Crowd control.
23:02Bit of crugs.
23:02And limber strength.
23:03Right, everybody start moving back.
23:05Move back.
23:06Move back.
23:08Here's limber strength 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 then.
23:15He's kicked me in the chest.
23:16We've been there now.
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.
23:30Sierra 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?
23:43All right, if 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 now.
24:02All right, mate, you're under arrest for attempted criminal damage, disorderly behaviour.
24:05What?
24:06Resist an arrest and assaulting police, okay?
24:09What?
24:09Are you okay?
24:09Are you hurt?
24:10No, we're all good.
24:11You're all right?
24:11No, we're all right.
24:12With the man cuffed to the front, Adam is worried about being choked from behind.
24:18Get someone in.
24:19I'm not driving on my own with him if someone could jump in.
24:21Sure what?
24:22Stop spitting.
24:25Stop spitting.
24:25You're sprimming the face with something.
24:26You're sprimming.
24:28You're spitting.
24:28Stop spitting.
24:30Hey!
24:31Close the door.
24:32Close the door.
24:33I need to get on you.
24:34Come on.
24:34It's spitting all over us here.
24:35Let's get a move.
24:36Just go, go, go.
24:39Uniform, Officer 100.
24:40Yeah, we're on our way to custody here.
24:51You're paif?
24:52We're in custody.
24:53Okay?
24:54So 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.
24:59Well, that's good for you.
25:00Hey, you fucking Lisbeth.
25:05What are you going there for me?
25:06I mean, I didn't like that at all.
25:08You panicked me, like?
25:09It was the crowd more than anything.
25:11You are.
25:12You 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 that night.
25:19I was like, me and Tom were in the south.
25:22Hello, are you all right?
25:23No, I'm not all right.
25:24Fair enough.
25:24I wasn't with you initially, so don't blame me if they have an Audi.
25:26I'm not blaming you.
25:28They're a bunch of fucking idiots.
25:29Fair enough.
25:31So we're driving up the street.
25:32You 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, I just sprayed on my
25:45papa.
25:46Probably a good decision after how it went after that.
25:48He's on this side.
25:50He's a brave lump, that guy.
25:54Get a hand with his own, you're fucking.
25:56You all right?
25:57Yep.
26:02All right, thank you.
26:06That's the first time I've ever heard Perry hit his emergency.
26:08We were getting concerned.
26:10We were getting concerned because we couldn't get control of his arms
26:13and the crowd was getting really aggressive for no reason.
26:17Not like she's really okay.
26:20I want to get the spit off his 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.
26:49As we went to speak to him, he stepped forward.
26:52Yeah.
26:52And 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.
27:03He stepped forward then.
27:05But is that enough to have him, Perry?
27:08One step forward?
27:09Well this is pre-emptive.
27:10Step forward and in an aggressive manner.
27:13You know.
27:17Yeah.
27:17So, I'd say that, I mean, what's the next move?
27:20Take a slap in the mouth.
27:21Take a slap in the mouth.
27:32Bye.
27:50Next time on Peelers.
27:51We got this location, we'll head that way.
27:53Be ready to run here, kid.
27:58Stop there!
27:59The team tackled crime in the city center.
28:04And a serial car thief is still having nightmares about his past.
28:08How many people were in the car, Kevin?
28:10Six was...
28:11And two died, is that right?
28:13No, I don't.
28:33I don't know.
28:34I don't know.
28:37I don't know.
28:40I don't know.
28:41I don't know.
28:42I don't know.
28:44I don't know.
