INCOMING CALL

SVU Halls of Residence.

Yes, please hold,
I'll put you through.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

Kenzo?

Yes.

I'm so sorry to wake you. I...

Oh. Yeah. Hi.

I'm Sarah. I'm going to be taking
the Crime Scene Management course.

Well, more accurately,
I'm teaching it.

I just thought I'd come down and...

Have you been sleeping here
all night?

Yes. I'm so sorry.

It's my first day, as well.

For all I know, they always make
the mature students sleep
in the reception.

Probably not, though.

Right!

This is yours, it's a welcome pack.

It's got a timetable and a map
and some stickers, for some reason.

Thank you. You must be jet-lagged.

A cup of coffee and a McMuffin
usually does the trick.

Or there's always lying
in the foetal position and weeping.

Yeah, no, ignore that.

I'll see you in class.

Welcome to London.

Thank you.

Detective Weitzmann. Good afternoon.

I'm Yasmin Rose
from the Probation Services.

Is now a good time to talk?

Yes. It's in regards to Ian Summers.

I'm sure you're aware he recently
became eligible for parole.

He's been released.

Yes. Where's he staying?

I can't disclose that information,
I'm afraid. Um...

Did you know?

Know what?

Lunch Club - that wanky sandwich
place. £6.50 for a baguette.

Beth?

Kev?

Come on, Heather.

MESSAGE ALERT

MESSAGE ALERT

LOW CHATTER

What?! Fuck off!

No, listen to me, you've got to
tell him that if he's wants you,

he's got to start acting like
a man and not behaving like
a little bitch.

Because do you know
what a little bitch gets?

No, neither do I,
because I don't associate with them

and neither should you.
Can I get a gin and tonic?

Your boyfriend's here.
I don't have one of those.

Rodney. Oh, God!

Tiff. Um...I don't have the energy
right now.

I deserve an explanation.

An explanation is a privilege, not
a right. I just want to know why.

What did I do?
Can I call you back? Sorry.

I'm in the middle of a Greek play.

Do we not have a warning system
in place for this kind of situation?

No. Right. Well, let's you and I
talk about that at some point, OK?

Just tell me what changed.
Um...my mood, my mood changed.

I don't understand.
I don't need you to.

Michael came round looking for you.

Well, you don't need to
say anything to Michael.

You don't even need to go near him.
I want to help you.

I can't do that
if you won't let me in.

I ordered a gin and tonic in what
feels like several lifetimes ago.

Rodney!

Listen to me, it's done, OK? I let
you in and now I'm letting you out.

I don't want to be out!
I don't know what to do on my own.

Oh, God! Look, the tears aren't
going to work with me, honey,
they never have.

You're a piece of shit, you know
that? You're a fucking sociopath!

Tiff? OK. Tiff! Thank you.

Don't look at me like that.
Like what? Like you agree with him.

I'm with them.

Hm.

Dan? Sarah.

Oh!
THEY CHUCKLE AWKWARDLY

Should I call you LondonDan35?

If you like.

Well, I insist you call me
Sarah Blues and Twos.

Right, got it.

I mean, not really. You can just...

Sarah is fine.

Have you been waiting long?

No. I was five minutes early and you
were ten minutes late, so...

I'm so sorry.

Traffic. A f... Blinking nightmare.

Yeah, I walked,
but it seemed really busy.

Well, it's great to finally
meet you.

You too.

This place seems nice.

I've never been.
My friend said it was nice.

MOANING

HE SIGHS

Oh. Hello again.

You speak good Japanese.

And your mother?

White girl from Peckham,
would you believe?

Would you like to earn some money?

I'm £200 for the night.

What's the word for condom? Condom.

Right. Yes, one of those.

Unless you've got a grand, in which
case, fine, but you're pulling out.

It's a customer guarantee.

I need to go to the Momo Lounge.

Hm. It's a Japanese bar,
but members only.

Right. But you seem like the sort
of man who can get me in.

That's all I want.
I can pay. What do you do?

Policeman. Fucking knew it.

KENZO SIGHS

OK, how about you keep your money
and do me a favour instead?

What?

There's a guy who's been
bothering me.

Someone needs to go and talk to him.

The boy earlier? No.

Nothing like the boy earlier.

OK, if that's what you need.

Plus 100, cos I'm nice.

Agreed. Let's go.

No can do. I've got clients waiting.

Tomorrow, then. No later.

Oh!

Night, Alex.

Fuck you.

That was great.

Thank you.

It's a work night.

Oh, right.

Yeah, of course.

Crime doesn't sleep, right?

HE SIGHS

Good morning, everyone,
I'm Detective Weitzmann.

On this course,
I'm going to be covering

how modern techniques
used by forensic specialists

can be applied to the solving
and even the prevention of crime.

HUBBUB

Hello.

How are you finding everything?

Good. Thank you.

Explored the city yet? A little.

Easy to get lost, isn't it?

Your first class
was very interesting.

Was there a single thing I said
that you didn't know already?

I didn't know your last name
was Weitzmann.

Ha-ha!

Well, come to the next one,

I'll tell you my middle name.

Ready for some fun?

We are not here to have fun.
'Course not.

Here you go. Thanks.

So I'm going to get you in,
we're going to have some drinks,

make some beautiful memories,
do whatever it is
that you're so desperate to do

and then you can come and help me
with my thing, OK?

You get the other half
when we're inside.

Okey doke, Super Cop.

That's weed, by the way.

LOW CHATTER

Asahi, please.
And a vodka club soda.

So, what are we investigating?

Is someone preying on beautiful
young mixed-race boys?

Just tell me
how worried I need to be.

I'm looking for someone. Criminal?

Ghost. Oh! Spooky!

Thank you.

LOW CHATTER

He's drunk.

MAN LAUGHS

Are you sure...you've never seen
this man?

MAN CHUCKLES

I don't know, sorry.
We get all sorts in here.

I thought it was a private
members' club?

No. Open to anyone.

OK, so I never said it was
a private members' club,

you just offered me £100
to get you in.

That's not on me,
that's your bad information.

Hey! Hey, I still need your help
with my thing! You lied to me.

Yeah, but I'm not lying to you now.

This guy really is
a fucking nutcase.

Find someone else to help you.

Please! I'm...

That's not very fucking Japanese
of you, is it?! Fuck!

# It's the time of the season

# When love runs high

# In this time, give it to me easy

# And let me try
with pleasured hands

# To take you in the sun
to promised lands

# To show you every one

# It's the time of the season
for loving. #

SARAH: Do you ever think about
how everything we do

is an echo of something?

How everything we've done
is going to happen again?

And everything we are going to do
has already happened somewhere else?

So what happens now?

KENZO: I'm looking for my brother.

They told me
he has done something terrible.

But I don't know what to do.

HE SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY
Whoo!

Is he high? Painkillers.

And cocaine.

He's Yakuza.

Come on, Yakuza?!

Cheers.

I need to see my brother.

I have put you in
an impossible position.

It's not impossible.

I just have to hand it you all in.

Your uncle is an absolute
specimen of a man,

now I know why everyone is making
such a fuss about this guy.

# I want to cut myself... #

I want forgiveness for...

..for bad decisions.

I would like forgiveness.

I broke a nice boy's heart.

I make people get close to me

and then push them away
and I don't know why.

# Stay in my heart... #

There are powerful men in Japan,
they will come here looking for him.

Well, they can send who they want

as long as you tell 'em
not to send anyone they want back.

This is a nightmare.

And now shotgun-wielding Albanians
will get their turn.

Everyone get ready!

SARAH: We crossed a line.

We are not bad people,

we just did bad things.
