00:02He's late.
00:03Christ, do you think the Buzzy Pope's coming round?
00:05Did you put the champagne in the fridge?
00:07No!
00:08Just stick it in the freezer.
00:11He's here!
00:12Finally.
00:13Come on, he's here.
00:14OK.
00:22Hiya, Mum.
00:23Oh, Tommy, come here.
00:26No!
00:30Hiya, Mace.
00:31Hiya, mate.
00:40Hiya, Dad.
00:43Three months in the Falklands,
00:45counting sheep and looking for arjibos in a bloody cane.
00:48Then Brunei.
00:49Ten weeks with the Gurkhas marching through the jungle in 90% humidity.
00:52It was like wearing your kit in a fucking sauna.
00:54Oh, you're home now. None of that.
00:57Then it was Germany for the live fire exercises.
01:00And Cyprus for an hour.
01:01That means getting pissed.
01:02No, it doesn't.
01:03It means getting pissed, Mum.
01:05It's Ritchie.
01:06Oh, nice one.
01:08He's just back.
01:09He can see his powers.
01:10Ritchie's all right.
01:11Nancy Beryl's round tomorrow.
01:13He can't be full of drink.
01:14That's the only way to deal with Nancy Beryl.
01:15Er, watch it.
01:17I'm going for the pint.
01:18Not finished.
01:20Mum, I have now.
01:21Hey.
01:22Be careful, will you?
01:24There's all these stories round the city.
01:26That poor kid.
01:27The tide.
01:29I can slip a machine gun blindfolded, Mum.
01:32This is Liverpool.
01:34I think I can handle it.
01:35No, go on.
01:37Fire!
01:38But not to get mad.
01:42That poor kid, this is taking it.
01:48O- half!
01:49You!
01:50No!
01:58Then they're terrible!
02:00As is out, let's get over there!
02:07Everybody's afraid to build up
02:13Everybody's afraid to build up
02:29Sorry, but who's spinning?
02:31You need to come down.
02:33Have you got any weed?
02:34I can do better than that.
02:45You sure?
02:51You're a woman.
03:09You sure?
03:12You sure?
03:16You sure?
03:18You sure?
03:19You sure?
03:21You sure?
03:34You sure?
03:35You sure?
03:40You sure?
03:53You sure?
04:10You sure?
04:11You got money?
04:13Yeah.
04:20You sure?
04:34You sure?
04:41You sure?
04:42You sure?
04:43You sure?
04:44Bye, Miss.
04:45Bye, Miss.
04:49Bye, Dodd.
04:52Bye, Sean.
05:04Bye, guys.
05:05Bye, everyone.
05:09Bye.
05:23We've managed to dive into the cabin.
05:25Free station, yeah?
05:30No.
05:40So you're in the field, spending money hand over fist,
05:42and so far the main development is Liverpool and the Turks
05:45realizing that they should work together.
05:46That's good.
05:47If they work together, it means we can take them down together.
05:50And how might you do that?
05:50The Turks will source it at Liverpool Distribute.
05:53What they're missing is an importer who can handle the increased load.
05:56I need to make that my job.
05:57Then I've got eyes on the whole Turkish operation,
05:59and we can dismantle it and nick the lot of them.
06:03And if we can work out the Liverpool Distribution Network,
06:05then we can take them down at the same time?
06:07Achieve all that, and we'll pull off the biggest result in customs history.
06:10And if not, we've played a not insignificant part
06:12in creating the most powerful drugs cartel this country has ever seen.
06:16Yeah, well, there is that.
06:18I've heard quite enough of these future glories, Don.
06:21Next time you call me, call me with progress.
06:23Absolutely, sir.
06:32He'll pull it, by the way.
06:34If he thinks it's coming apart.
06:35He'll pull it himself.
06:37So, let's find him some progress.
06:41Who should we be looking out for amongst the Turks?
06:43No one.
06:44You worry about Liverpool.
06:45You don't tell me what to do, mate.
06:47Look, Guy's right.
06:49The targets have come together, but we keep the operations apart.
06:51That way, if one of the operations gets busted, the other one survives.
06:55Shouldn't we pull all our intelligence?
06:56When you're undercover, the only thing worse than knowing too little is knowing too much.
06:59If you react to a face or a name that your legend shouldn't know, it's game over.
07:03You lot tell me what I need to know, and I'll tell the other operation what they need to know.
07:07So, we're done.
07:11What's wrong with him?
07:12I mean, he was never exactly chatting, but...
07:14He's a legend.
07:16And the kind of legend he's building is the kind you're never really out of.
07:28How do you get it in?
07:30How do you distribute it?
07:32Hmm.
07:33All you need to know is we bring it in pure.
07:37Well, what we need to know is you can help build the network.
07:39We control half of Britain.
07:41If the stuff's as good as you say it is,
07:44then we'll control the other half too.
07:45Okay, okay.
07:47We'll do a test run.
07:51Then we'll see what the dogs...
07:56Battery, transmitter,
07:59the fixings...
08:01No idea what that is.
08:03Good luck.
08:04When are you going to show me how to make it?
08:06Show you?
08:06It's not a blue piece, sir.
08:08Figure it out for yourself.
08:10Show you.
08:12Go on, Em, what you got?
08:13Eddie McKee.
08:14Long record.
08:15Firearms and violence.
08:16Though nothing for a while.
08:19Then there's...
08:21Declan Carter.
08:23The good-looking one.
08:25Isn't it appropriate?
08:26Anything?
08:27Nothing.
08:27No record of any nature,
08:29which I found unlikely.
08:31So I went through Liverpool court records,
08:35and there they were.
08:37Historical charges,
08:39loan sharking,
08:39money with menaces,
08:40that kind of thing.
08:41So the charges were dropped?
08:42Before the case came to court every time.
08:44Which is...
08:45It's interesting.
08:46You got an address?
08:47No, I'll get one.
08:48It's proving harder than it should be,
08:50but...
08:51Well, that's interesting, too.
08:52Yeah.
08:53It is.
08:56Birmingham.
08:57You what?
08:58We have a package for you in Istanbul.
09:00You must show that you can ship it to Felixstor,
09:02get it past customs,
09:03and take it to a handover in Birmingham.
09:04Why not a handover in Liverpool?
09:06Because we don't trust them.
09:07And they don't trust us yet,
09:09so we're halfway.
09:11Where's the handover?
09:13A dog track in Birmingham.
09:16It's to public.
09:17Of course public.
09:19Nobody dies in public.
09:20It's only a test run.
09:21Oh, okay.
09:22I'll tell the judge it was only a test run.
09:24This is what is happening.
09:26And now you know what is happening.
09:27So if you're not going to do it,
09:28then I have a problem.
09:31Do you want me to have a problem?
09:38I'll do it,
09:38but next time we'll be in the meeting you had
09:40before this meeting, okay?
09:42Don't worry about other meetings.
09:43If this does not work,
09:46there will not be other meetings.
09:52We've got to let it through.
09:53Like what through?
09:54Whatever comes in a Felixstowe.
09:55Are you taking the piss?
09:56It's a test,
09:57a small load,
09:58and if it works,
09:58it'll do a big load.
09:59And when I say a big load,
10:00I reckon we're looking at the biggest heroin importation
10:02this country's ever seen.
10:03That's what we're working towards,
10:05and we need to make sure we get there.
10:06So we let this one through,
10:08and we pick it up somewhere down the line.
10:09That's called importing drugs.
10:12It's sort of the opposite of what we do.
10:14You can get it on a boat in St. Felixstowe
10:16by promising that it stays under customs control,
10:19but it couldn't go anywhere near the public.
10:20They're watching me like a hawk.
10:22We can't knock over this job
10:23without me looking like customs,
10:25old bill,
10:26or useless.
10:27Which of those options end well for me?
10:28This is your job, son,
10:30to get into situations like this
10:32and find ways out of them.
10:34So let me know when you've got a plan.
10:48So do you end up in customs, then?
10:53I was a clever kid.
10:55A bit full of myself, too,
10:56if you can believe that.
10:58Yeah, I can believe that.
11:01I wanted to go to university,
11:03but when I went up there for the interview,
11:04I couldn't go in.
11:07I knew I didn't belong in that world,
11:08and I couldn't get past it.
11:11But it was all right.
11:12My dad said, don't worry.
11:13You don't have to go there
11:14to do something special with your life.
11:16He said, if I joined customs,
11:18I'd see the world.
11:21I reckon he was probably thinking of the Navy,
11:24seeing as I ended up chasing perverts around Essex.
11:27Now, here I am.
11:28Back in the world I don't belong in,
11:29but this time I ain't going home.
11:31Well, glad one of us doesn't feel out of their depth.
11:35Of course I do.
11:38This is bloody dangerous,
11:40and we're just civil servants, Bailey.
11:44But I reckon that knowing that,
11:45and knowing how hard we have to work at it,
11:48might just give us half a chance of getting through it.
11:52I hope you're right.
11:55That sounded good.
11:57Did that sound good?
12:05That's everyone out there winning.
12:07All the couriers,
12:09and all the carters' men.
12:12You sure?
12:13No.
12:14You sure that's going to work?
12:17No.
12:18Well then,
12:19I suppose we better find out
12:21just how out of our depth we really are.
13:01I'm going to get out of here.
13:25I don't know.
13:58I don't know.
14:02I don't know.
14:14Fuck, I think.
14:19Let's go.
14:34Fuck, it's a different code to get out.
14:36Shit.
14:43If we knew you would have told us.
14:44I know, but he's all we've got right now.
14:55It's not a great time.
14:56It's a different code to get out.
14:58Er, I told you to leave the door open.
15:02It's a bit bloody late to tell us that now.
15:07Okay, I'm on me way.
15:11He's coming.
15:14It's work.
15:16No, it's not, Sean.
15:17That's the whole bloody problem.
15:25What did he sound like?
15:27Who?
15:27The bloke on the phone.
15:29I don't know.
15:29Middle Eastern?
15:31Turkish.
15:32Maybe.
15:34I could quit, if you want.
15:36Don't be stupid.
15:38We should move house.
15:39We are not going anywhere.
15:41I'll not have the two of you in danger.
15:43We've been in danger since you started, and we'll be in danger till you finish.
15:46And that is not the kind of danger that you get rid of by moving around the bloody corner, guy.
15:50Anyway, you're not here to talk about that.
15:53Why am I here?
15:54I don't know.
15:55This wasn't my idea.
16:00This is unusual.
16:03Don't get me wrong.
16:04There's not much in this job you get away with describing as normal, but this is unusual.
16:09There isn't usually a wife, you see, or husband, and that stuff can be quite hard to manage.
16:16People who do this stuff tend to be unencumbered.
16:19If they're not, and I see it in the file, I get shot at them.
16:22So you have to be very good to get this far with that in the file.
16:25And he is good.
16:26He's very good.
16:27He's a pain in the arse, but he's good.
16:30This is dynamite, by the way.
16:31What's that spice I'm tasting?
16:32Is that nutmeg?
16:33You know, don't you, about the phone call?
16:35My point is, it's unusual to start with, and then there's you.
16:39I mean, you're in the firm.
16:41That happens.
16:42They're romantic places, customs lanes.
16:45But then I looked you up, and that did surprise me.
16:48So I thought we'd better meet up, given that you're OSA compliant.
16:53That was a long time ago.
16:54It doesn't matter if you're a baby in arms, love.
16:56When you've signed the Official Secrets Act, that's you for life.
16:59I did six months in investigations.
17:01Nothing exciting.
17:03And then we had our daughter.
17:05So now I check suitcases.
17:09But I don't want him doing that, too.
17:11He won't.
17:13He'd have offered us to quit, no doubt, when he heard about the call, but I'm sure you
17:15saw that for the bollocks it was.
17:19It was a redial from a public phone, so they don't have your number, let alone your address.
17:24So you know, I've had someone keep an eye on this place, and it's all clear.
17:29But I'll tell you something.
17:30There'll come a day when he needs you, and I can see now that you'll deliver when that
17:33day comes.
17:34Is it cumin?
17:35Is that what I'm tasting?
17:35Cumin?
17:36I'll do whatever's needed.
17:37He's not quitting, and the pie's from Tesco.
17:39So why don't you two stop pissing about, finish your dinner, and get back to work?
17:43Yeah.
17:45She's top drawer.
17:47Absolute top drawer.
17:56It's not happening.
17:58You've locked the system.
17:59We could call Don.
18:00Is that how you want this job to end for you?
18:01Is it locking yourself in a building?
18:03It'll end a lot worse if they find us here.
18:14Sean?
18:16Yeah?
18:18You need to make a call.
18:21So where are you from?
18:23It's not from around here.
18:26I'm telling you, I've not looked that up.
18:27I know where you were born, but it doesn't tell me where you're from, or what you're from.
18:31Sane's end.
18:32Fulham.
18:33Old Fulham, the way it was.
18:35What does that mean?
18:36Shed, toilets, and violence.
18:38So how'd you end up out here?
18:43I had a couple of brothers that died.
18:46They were just babies.
18:47I was their big brother, and they died.
18:50My mum.
18:54Do you know why there's no troop station at Sand's End?
18:57No.
18:58During the plague, they buried the bodies in Sand's End.
19:02There were pits of bodies under the houses.
19:06My old man told me that when I was young.
19:09I don't know what he was thinking, but he told me that.
19:14We lived next to the cement factory.
19:17And the dust didn't matter if you closed every window.
19:22So it found a way in.
19:26After my brothers died, I don't know if mum blamed the dust, but she started scrubbing.
19:38Every day, every night, I'd watch her scrub our little flat.
19:50I'd watch her paint.
19:54And my old man knew he had to get her out.
20:02Away from the dust.
20:04Away from my brothers.
20:07Away from the bodies under the house.
20:14So we came out here.
20:18And I was wild.
20:21Feral.
20:24But over time, the wildness got pushed down.
20:29And the pain got pushed down too.
20:34There's always pain.
20:38Doing what we do.
20:41There's always pain behind it.
20:45If I let this stuff back out,
20:48I don't know if I can control it.
20:50Yeah, but you'll do it anyway.
20:51Because you've got no choice.
20:54Because you've finally found something where you feel like you're fit.
20:57Something you can do that no one else can.
21:01But you need to realise that this is the rest of your life.
21:04The work you're doing, the work I did.
21:07It never leaves you.
21:09The way you look at the world, the paranoia, the fear never goes away.
21:15What did you do?
21:17When you did this?
21:18It doesn't matter what I did.
21:21I can't be changed.
21:22I did what I did.
21:23And it cost me what it cost me.
21:25What matters is, you need to do what I couldn't.
21:29You need to protect your legend.
21:31Protect yourself and protect your family.
21:32And if any of that makes you want out, then tell me now.
21:36Because this is the only time I'll ask.
21:40I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this, Don.
21:44I ain't stopping now.
21:48Get some sleep, son.
21:50Early start tomorrow.
21:52Not much job tonight.
21:53No.
21:55The nights are hard.
21:58The days aren't easy, but the nights are hard.
22:08But who else are you, OK?
22:13No.
22:13No.
22:16No.
22:17No.
22:19No.
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:23No.
22:30disturbance.
22:32I'll be shutting down half the bloody docks. Just do it.
22:52Who the fuck are they?
22:53Put it back on.
22:57Shit.
23:00It's not working. It needs to be set.
23:02They've got to know that somebody's been in.
23:03We can't.
23:04Bailey.
23:07Bailey.
23:10What are you doing?
23:11Come on, come on, come on.
23:13Turn it off.
23:15And show me how to turn it back on.
23:27Did you sleep?
23:31Yeah.
23:36I lied to Don.
23:40The six months in investigations, it was exciting.
23:45And difficult to do it properly like you are.
23:47I just, I imagine it's a whole other world.
23:54You're not just doing it for you.
24:02I know.
24:07He smokes then, does he?
24:09He does.
24:12But I'm not him.
24:15Glad to hear it.
24:39What's going on?
24:41Power range.
24:44Should be good now.
24:47Check your wiring there mate.
24:48Well these old buildings.
24:50The rats shoot through the cables.
25:18Dhirf.
25:29Didn't know you had it in him.
25:34The rat's supposed to be supposed to work today.
25:41You're alright mate?
25:46Well it's not good.
25:47I'm not good.
25:49Me missus isn't happy, I'm scared, pretty much all the time.
25:57And doing this is actually costing me money, what with the petrol.
26:03And?
26:06And I'm loving every minute of it, and I don't want it to end.
26:10Then don't get caught.
26:43What time did you call this?
26:45Sorry Eddie.
26:47And traffic me.
26:50This place is a mess, get it sorted.
26:52I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
27:07I'm sorry.
27:11I'm sorry.
27:13I'm sorry.
27:22You're late.
27:25Then you wait.
27:26This is a lot for a test.
27:27There are more, you must find them.
27:29It's not what we agreed.
27:32These are Turkish apricots.
27:36The greatest in the world.
27:39They grow in Malatia.
27:41My homeland.
27:43Our Khan's homeland.
27:45A world you do not know.
27:48A world where you do not belong.
27:54Zeki!
28:03Look.
28:05Customs.
28:09What is this?
28:11Spot checks.
28:13They won't be coming here.
28:14You are not.
28:14It's a lot.
28:20It's a little bit.
28:21But I'm not.
28:30You have to go.
28:33You have to go.
28:35You have to go.
28:39I'm not.
28:39You have to go.
28:40You have to go.
28:49Where's your S.I.O.?
28:50Pardon?
28:59Pull him.
29:00Who the hell are you?
29:01Investigations were running an undercover operation.
29:03You need to pull your spot checks.
29:04I wasn't notified about that.
29:05That's why it's called undercover now. Pull him.
29:06I'm an S.I.O.. You can't come here and tell me what to do.
29:09No. I know a man who can.
29:12Yes?
29:12I'm at Felix Doe Customs. You need to tell me to pull the checks or a guy's dead.
29:16Put them on.
29:17Who's this?
29:18This is Angus Blake.
29:19Pull your team now or I'll have you checking suitcases at Organy Airports tomorrow.
29:32Check site for the price price.
29:39I found the Wuseki.
29:40They're going.
29:43Lucky for you.
29:44Let's go. Fuck all it will do with luck.
29:45I told you I've got this place sewn up.
29:47Give it ten minutes before you leave and I'll see you back at Green Lanes after the drop.
29:50Then I will go with you.
29:51No, he won't.
29:53This is Hakan's order.
29:57Fine.
30:13Hello?
30:19Where are you?
30:26Hi, Dad.
30:37Whatever you've done is a way out of it.
30:41Sorry, Dad.
30:43You're coming home now.
30:45I can't.
30:46It's not a fucking debate.
30:47If Mum sees me like this, she'll never recover.
30:49I've not used for two days and I won't be using again.
30:54I spoke to them.
30:55Rehab.
30:58They said they'll take me when I'm three days clean.
31:03Pick me up tomorrow, Dad take me in.
31:05When Mum sees me, I'll be brand new.
31:08Maybe I can speak to the army about the AWOL.
31:10Fuck the army!
31:16Just call me and get me some other, Dad.
31:19Please.
31:27I'll be here at the crack of dawn.
31:29And don't be looking like this.
31:31Then we need to eat, Dad.
31:44Thanks.
31:50I love you, kid.
31:53I...
31:56I fucking love you.
32:02Love you, Dad.
32:16Middle names, sorry?
32:17Well, you think they're irrelevant, don't you, middle names?
32:19But they actually have a legal purpose, which most people wouldn't know about.
32:23What have you got?
32:24Carter is the director of a number of companies, but uses his middle name and registers them in the Isle
32:30of Man.
32:31Turns out I can get into the Isle of Man system by using the Customs and Excise Act of 1939.
32:35You would have to do it a lot quicker than this, mate.
32:37One of Carter's companies owns property in Liverpool, which are mostly shops and pubs, but there is something else.
32:43You've got an address for Carter?
32:44I've got an address.
32:45Whether or not he lives there is another matter.
32:47Go on.
32:495C, Dawson Park Apartments, Lord Street, Liverpool.
32:52Thanks, Erin.
32:53Good luck.
32:54Good luck.
32:59This makes you see me fixing electricity.
33:01Can't exactly hang around a flat the same day.
33:06Fine.
33:07You keep an eye on this place.
33:08Colbert entry is a two-person job.
33:09Then I won't go in.
33:25I won't go in.
33:51I won't go.
33:52I won't go in.
33:55I won't go in.
33:55You thought he said you won't have a number of reasons?
33:56No.
33:57I lost two to none on him.
33:59Arjon made 50 on him last week.
34:01Switched to those 5-1.
34:03That was easy, yeah.
