Line of Duty (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - Monsters - full transcript

OK. Thank you.

Operation Damson is an ongoing initiative

aimed at detection/prevention
of gangland murders.

Surveillance of a suspect
under Operation Damson has been

in place at an address
for less than 24 hours,

with intelligence sources
indicating a significant belief

the suspect is preparing to
commit a gangland execution.

The suspect is a known criminal
with a history of violence,

is expected to be armed

and is designated extremely dangerous.

Senior AFO is Inspector McAndrew.



Sir.

You'll operate out of four vehicles,

each crew to be positioned
on the suspect's possible

routes of travel, awaiting Gold
Commander's orders to intercept.

Crew assignments are as follows.

Victor Charlie Four Zero: McAndrew.

- Sir. - Lambert.
- Sir. - Chappell. - Sir.

- Miller.
- Sir.

- Victor Charlie Five
Zero: Waldron. - Sir.

You will each sign that you
understand the law regarding

the legal use of force
as outlined by the SFC.

You will each sign out your weapon.

You will each sign out the type of
ammunition and the number of rounds.

Come on! Go, go, go, go!



Go, go, go, go! Come on!

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

Go!

- 'Four Zero. Radio check.
- Five Zero. Radio check.

- 'Six Zero. Radio check.
- Seven Zero. Radio check.

'All vehicles disperse to
routes. Disperse to routes.

'Victor Charlie Four Zero.
Transmit when in position. Over.'

'Six Zero, received.

'Seven Zero, received.'

Victor Charlie Five Zero

'Received.'

Victor Charlie Five Zero
in position, Bravo Route.

The suspect is travelling
west on Hill Street.

He's taking Bravo Route,
repeat Bravo Route.

Victor Charlie Five Zero, received.

'Blue Toyota Celica, registration

'Lima delta zero four whisky echo whisky.'

Go. Go!

- 'Five Zero, report.'
- Visual with target, maintaining obs.

'Victor Charlie Five Zero,
we're en route to join.

Four Zero, what's our order, Five Zero?

- 'Order is Fahrenheit. Repeat,
order is Fahrenheit.' - Go.

Left, left.

'Four Zero, our ETA is two minutes,
repeat two minutes, Five Zero.'

Five Zero, received.

- Hard stop. - Come off
it, skipper! - Danny!

- Hard stop.
- Danny!

Shit.

Go, go!

Armed Police!

Skipper, slow down!

- Armed Police! - Slow
down, Skipper! - Police!

Armed Police!

OK.

Come on, come on!

- Skipper!
- Shots fired!

Where is he? Danny?

Danny!

- Armed Police!
- Oh, shit.

Hari. Hari, mate, he's down.

He refused to surrender his firearm.

- Jesus Christ, look where the gun is!
- How'd it get all the way over there, Danny?

Brain injury, muscle
spasm -- he chucked it.

- Look at what it looks like,
though, Danny. - Good point.

- Hey, hey, Danny, Danny.
- It was self-defence.

But we all know the shit I'll get for it.

- Skipper, wait. - For Christ's
sake! - You're making it worse.

I'm the last person who wants
to see you lot in the shit.

- Us? - We didn't do nothing.
- That's the problem.

So I'll cover for you and
say we got here together,

shouted "Armed police" but
the mad bastard pulled a gun.

- What are you talking about? - He would have
surrendered if you'd have got here in time.

That's my report unless the
lot of you man up right now.

- Discharge your weapons.
- No way.

Shoot over the suspect's body,
in the direction you'd have fired

if you'd have actually
managed to get here in time.

No.

Shoot, now!

Shoot.

Shoot!

You choked. Plausible.

Jesus!

'Five Zero, status report. Status report.'

We're all in this together.

Best way.

Is anyone hurt?

- We're fine, thanks, guv.
- Suspect down, repeat, suspect down.

Stow your weapons.

Victor Charlie Four One, requesting
forensic deployment for the scene.

All AFOs and weapons
require transporting to base

for forensic recovery
of evidence and debrief.

You sure you're OK?

Fine.

Everyone did their job.

- Carry on. - Sir. - Carry on.

Sir.

Steve.

What do you reckon, son -- one for us?

Yeah. One for us.

Sir.

As you were.

Forensics will take your firearms,
gunshot residue samples,

clothing, nail scrapings.

You are to remain at the
station until they advise

- they don't need any
further samples. - Sir.

You're all entitled to
48 hours' recovery time.

You'll all be offered
post-traumatic counselling.

My advice is to use these 48 hours wisely.

Sir.

For the tape, please confirm
you are the officer using

the call-sign Victor Charlie Five One.

I am.

Document two in your folders.

This FA-1 was issued to AFOs
at South Ferry Police Station

on the day of 13th of May of this year.

- You recognise that form? - I do, sir.
- Is that your signature? - It is, sir.

- Mm-hmm.
- According to the FA-1,

you were issued with a Glock
17 service pistol serial number

Mike November 8746546,

and nine by 19mm parabellum rounds.

I was.

Now, can you inform us as
to how you personally became

involved in Operation Damson?

It was a real-time deployment
authorised by the SFC.

'I travelled in the second vehicle
designated Victor Charlie Five Zero,

'crewed by myself and
the rest of my team.'

The rest of your team are
AFO Victor Charlie Five Two,

AFO Victor Charlie Five Three

and AFO Victor Charlie Five Four.

We deployed to a holding position

on one of four exit routes for the suspect

and maintained radio contact
with the operational senior AFO.

For the tape, please confirm
this was an inspector using

the call sign Victor Charlie Four One.

Correct. Victor Charlie
Four One notified me

that the suspect was travelling towards us

and authorised us to carry
out a real-time intercept.

(Real time intercept.) Yeah.

Things get a wee bit fuzzy
for me here, Sergeant.

Maybe you could be a
ray of sunshine and...

burn off the fog. Mmm?

- I'm waiting.
- Sir, I'm waiting for a question.

What the Super's asking you is how come,

as per the statement given
by Victor Charlie Four One,

- you were ordered to wait for support...
- Not ordered. Advised.

But you went ahead and carried
out the hard stop anyway.

The suspect was travelling at high
speed to an unknown destination

with the intention of
committing a gangland execution.

Or so the intelligence said.

The intelligence DID say,
and if that's wrong, sir,

take it up with them.

Can we please just stick to
a line of questioning that

relates to Victor Charlie
Five One's actions?

On you go, Sergeant.

It'll help if I refer to
the map in our folders,

document four.

Travelling at high speed
along Prince's Road,

the suspect approached a line of
parked cars with open road ahead.

I was concerned if we didn't carry out the hard
stop immediately, the suspect would get away.

- Oh, and that was your
decision, was it? - No, sir.

It was the decision of the
Strategic Firearms Commander

who designated the operational
objective of preventing the suspect

carrying out an act of lethal force,

added to which, as police officers,

it's a non-negotiable
duty to protect the public.

- May I answer the question now?
- Please do.

Fearing the suspect would get away
and pose a danger to the public,

I took the decision to close
off his route of escape

by executing a hard stop
manoeuvre on Prince's Road

that trapped the suspect's vehicle
between ours and the parked cars.

The suspect then made his
escape on foot via an alleyway,

and I gave chase.

This foot chase led to a
confrontation in Prince's Court.

We need you to tell us all
about this confrontation.

Once in Prince's Court,

almost immediately the suspect
realised he was cornered.

The suspect turned his weapon on
us and fired. We returned fire.

Shots struck the suspect in the
head and proved instantly fatal.

We've received written
statements from yourself

and the other AFOs on your team.

- Said statements agree you all entered
Prince's Court together. - Correct.

See, the thing is, we've got a statement

off of an eyewitness on Prince's Road.

Says that you entered that rough ground

at least 30 seconds before
the rest of your team.

I was first out of our vehicle. That
would have misled the eyewitness.

You're saying she's mistaken?

I'm saying that my written statements and the
written statements of my team are accurate.

Yes, they are. And entirely consistent

in every detail.

- You and your team, you
acted as one? - Correct.

That's not always the case with
you and your teams, though, is it?

In your four years at South
Ferry, there's been a fair few

'transfer requests from officers who
didn't want to stay in your team.

'Some guys can't cut it.
I want them off my squad.

'To save face, they put
in for a transfer request.

'None of these officers
had a problem with you?'

I've got high standards.

That's their problem.

So, you all entered
Prince's Court together?

Yes, sir.

We were moving fast on foot but I
carried out a rapid risk assessment,

noting there were no members of
the public in immediate jeopardy.

I called, "Armed Police."

The suspect turned his
weapon on us and opened fire.

I returned fire. The
suspect fell to the ground.

Immediate examination of the
suspect by Victor Charlie Five Four

revealed serious wounds to the head.

The suspect had absent respiration
and his pulse was also absent.

I secured his firearm.

A few moments later, Victor Charlie
Four One arrived on the scene

with her team and assumed
operational command.

You discharged your
pistols, not your G36s?

We confronted the suspect in a confined
space bounded by hard surfaces.

Given the G36 has a muzzle velocity
of over 900 metres per second,

I identified a significant risk our rounds

might pass through the suspect and
ricochet back at us causing injury.

We don't have an
eyewitness to the shooting.

But we do have three ear-witnesses.

Three independent ear-witnesses.

Each ear-witness claims to
have heard a group of gunshots

followed closely by what
sounded like a second

group of gunshots, followed
closely by a single gunshot.

As per my written statement,
it's a matter of fact

that there was one shot
fired by the suspect

immediately followed by a group
of shots fired simultaneously

by myself, Victor Charlie Five
Two and Victor Charlie Five Three.

These independent ear-witnesses
would seem to contradict said fact.

It's an accepted and well
recognised acoustic phenomenon

that an ear-witness can
be deceived by up to six

different sounds associated
with a single gunshot.

Document six in your folders.

Forensic report regarding
Operation Damson.

Gunshot residue from the discharge
of a Glock 17 pistol was

detected on the hands and
clothing of the following:

Victor Charlie Five One,

Victor Charlie Five Two,
Victor Charlie Five Three.

They all discharged their
weapons. No-one's disputing that.

A Colt 1911 A1 pistol was found
in the suspect's right hand.

Gunshot residue from the
discharge of this firearm was

detected on the suspect.

Gunshot residue from the Colt was also
detected on Victor Charlie Five One.

Are you able to explain this finding,

'Victor Charlie Five One?

'I secured the suspect's
firearm, causing secondary

'transfer of residue after the
firearm had been discharged.'

- This explains the high
concentration of residue. - Does it?

The concentration and distribution are more
characteristic of a gunman than a bystander.

- Caused when I secured the firearm.
- You expect us to believe that?

At a distance of approximately
five metres from the suspect,

there was a small concentration of
gunshot residue found on the ground.

Said gunshot residue matched
the suspect's firearm.

How do you account for this?

The suspect was in motion as he
turned his firearm towards my team.

He covered a short distance between
raising the gun and firing it.

There's gunshot residue on the
ground where the body was found.

That's where he fired the gun.

Why is there gunshot residue
five metres away as well?

My colleague has answered the question.

Did the gun ever lie in
a position on the ground

five metres from the suspect?

No, it did not.

Steve.

Document 11. Postmortem result.

Three bullets were recovered
from the head wounds

and were identified as nine
by 19mm parabellum rounds

fired by a Glock 17 pistol issued to

Authorised Firearms Officer
Victor Charlie Five One.

Three shots.

You made sure, didn't you, Sergeant?

Victor Charlie Five One
regrets the loss of life

but I don't need to remind everyone

that he was an Authorised Firearms Officer

acting on the lawful orders of
a Strategic Firearms Commander.

You regret killing him?

- As I've said...
- I'm asking Victor Charlie Five One.

Victor Charlie Five One has
the right to be interviewed

by an officer at least one rank superior.

Did you regret killing him,
Victor Charlie Five One?

I regret the loss of life.

Three shots, fella!

Standard practice to aim at the
maximum body mass, the chest.

- Why head shots?
- I was ten metres away in good visibility.

The shots were highly achievable.

Standard practice is double-tap the
trigger, discharging shots in pairs.

Not two shots, not four.

He collapsed after the third
shot so I ceased fire.

Yeah, right. You shot him down like a dog!

Sir, your language is inflammatory.

'You'd prefer only to have wounded him?

'We don't shoot to wound. We shoot
to neutralise the lethal threat.'

You were the only AFO
to strike the target.

- Yes, that's what happened...
- Listen to me, son.

We weren't born yesterday.

You shot that fella in cold blood

while your wee mates stood by and watched.

I shot first and the others
fired a fraction later,

by which time the suspect had
collapsed. Their shots missed.

You saw all that in a
fraction of a second?

I've never been to this building before.

You saw me walk into this interview room,

sit down in a matter of a few seconds.

Over my left shoulder are
three rows of open-plan desks

in front of a glass partition
dividing the open-plan area

from a private office. Range -- 20 metres.

Seated at the desks are seven personnel,

comprising four males and three females.

Over my right shoulder is
a longitudinal partition

at chest height, beyond which
is gate-controlled access.

Range -- 20 metres.

Entrance and exit to this floor
level are via keycontrolled lifts

adjacent to the waiting area
at my four o'clock position.

Range -- 35 metres.

Why the second shot? Why the third?

- The first shot was fatal.
- Why did you keep firing?

Were you losing it out there, fella?

I cite under Common Law my
lawful right to use lethal force

for preservation of life

or in self-defence where
this threat is immediate.

Yes. And in response I
cite Section 117 of the

Police and Criminal Evidence Act
-- the use of REASONABLE force.

And for the tape, the emphasis is
mine and not contained in the Act.

That's an easy argument
from behind a desk, sir.

From behind this desk,
Sergeant, we uphold standards.

Standards you're expected to
meet as a serving police officer.

Do you recognise the man in this image?

I object in the strongest possible terms.

Victor Charlie Five One's been
involved in an extremely tragic

and distressing incident,

and this line of inquiry is
offensive and insensitive.

Your man doesn't strike me
as the... sensitive type.

Are you?

Am I what?

Sensitive.

'On your personnel file,
there's no recorded next of kin.

'Wife? Fiancee?'

This line of questioning has
no bearing on the investigation.

We don't know that yet.

I'm single.

The suspect was an armed criminal
with a history of violence

posing an immediate and
credible threat to the public.

In respect of Operation
Damson, on May 13th

the Strategic Firearms Commander
authorised the use of firearms.

Under Section 3 of the Criminal
Law Act 1967 I am also entitled to

use such force as is reasonable in
the circumstances to prevent crime,

and under Section 117 of the Police
and Criminal Evidence Act 1984

I am entitled to use reasonable force
in the exercise of police powers.

Under Common Law, I have the
lawful right to use lethal force

for preservation of life or in self-defence
where this threat is immediate.

At no time has anyone in this
room put forward credible evidence

that I acted unlawfully, and
therefore I formally request

that my withdrawal from
operational deployment be lifted

and my firearms permit be reinstated

so I can get back to doing what I do best.

This investigation is far from over, son.

As far as I'm concerned we've
only just scratched the surface.

'Request denied. Interview terminated.'

Desk duty only.

- Danny, don't do this. - What was
that? My personal life. What was that?

- Nothing personal. - No? - Interview's
finished, Danny. - I'm not. - Good.

Neither are we.

There isn't a bomb under it.

But there ought to be.

Fortunately I booked a table.
Somewhere ridiculously expensive.

Well, I guess I had that
coming. I'm so sorry, I forgot.

All right. And what am I...

.. supposed to do with these?

Happy anniversary.

Come on. Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

Victor Charlie Two Zero, on our way.

'Victor Charlie Two Zero, received.'

It's all right, mate. You
leave it to us, yeah(?)

Oi!

You going to tell us
how it went with AC-12?

- You first.
- We stuck to the story, mate.

Like you gave us much of a choice.

So we all stuck to the story.

- All right?
- All right.

They'll go through the motions,
hit a brick wall. Case closed.

All the time, you just
want us to play along?

- It's worked so far.
- So far?

What's your problem?

My problem...

My problem...

is what really happened
with you and that suspect.

Don't try playing the big man.

We both know you're not up to it.

She definitely does.

- All right to come in with the
gaffer for a minute? - Sure.

Kate.

Thanks.

We're just discussing the
Daniel Waldron shooting.

Is there an undercover assignment?

Look, can I just say, this
feels like a long shot.

Kate was kept out of the interview
on purpose to give us this option.

- We should use it.
- Remind me, Kate. Are you firearms trained?

Yes, sir, I am.

The statements given by Waldron's
team are all highly consistent.

That's not suspicious in itself.

What else are they going to do, given
48 hours to get their stories straight?

Look, the question is whether
Waldron's story adds up,

and whether his squad's really
as loyal as they appear.

The only way to get the inside
story is with Kate on the case.

Putting Kate into an AFO role is
a whole level of jeopardy above

- a normal undercover...
- I can handle it.

Thanks. Kind of a regular thing,
first Wednesday of every month.

You all right? Lets off a bit of steam.

- I'm in. - What can I get
you? - No, my shout, guv.

- Is the right answer. Vodka
and tonic. Big one. - Coming up.

New AFO, Kate, um...

- Kate Francis.
- All right?

Everyone all right for a drink?

Yeah, I've got one here. Thanks.

You've got to be kidding me.

All right?

- Relax, mate. Off duty.
- You don't normally do the monthly piss-up.

Bit of bonding felt like a good idea.

No-one going to buy me a drink?

- What you having, skipper?
- Mineral water. Still.

Ta.

- How are you doing, then?
You all right? - Fine. You?

Yeah, I'm good. Yeah.

I think I best give Jackie
a hand with them drinks.

- Danny.
- Evening, ma'am.

Meet Kate Francis.

- Kate, Danny Waldron.
- You all right?

- How are you doing?
- Thanks for the drink, Kate.

- That's all right.
- See you in a bit.

You're new, then?

Yeah, I got posted while, um...

- While I've been chained
to a desk. - Sorry.

They give you the firepower but when you actually
do what's necessary, suddenly you're a pariah.

- Where you posted from?
- East Mids.

You know what, Jackie? I think
I'd best call it a night.

Laila ain't sleeping too good, you know.

Can't say I blame you, mate.

- See you in a bit.
- See you.

- Would you excuse me?
- Yeah, of course.

Hari.

You sure everything's all right?

Yeah, it's fine, yeah.

It's just the missus ain't
sleeping too good, you know.

Why do I get the feeling
you're not 100% on board?

I am.

I'm going home, so Laila can
grab an early night, yeah?

You need me to make the
hard choices for you.

Because I see what's inside you.

Jelly.

The fact is, if we'd not stuck together,

AC-12 would be charging the
lot of us, not just me.

Worth bearing in mind,

when you've got that nice
little family to provide for.

Love to Laila.

- Hi. - Hi. - Danny. - Rachel.

Big night out?

Just a quiet one with workmates.

- Your workmates?
- Yeah.

Would it be OK if I
bought you another drink?

Yeah, that would be OK.

- Dry white wine? - Very good. - Great.

This is me.

It was really nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Can I kiss you?

- That was nice.
- Very nice.

- Can I get your phone number?
- Sure.

What's yours?

It's 07700... 922... 621.

OK.

Here's mine.

Got it.

Thank you.

- Night, Rachel.
- Night.

Listen, Hari, can I talk
to you about something?

In the pub, I couldn't help
noticing you and Danny.

Is he giving you a hard time?

Well, when hasn't he? But
that's just what he's like.

But you all stood by him
after he killed a suspect.

Did it really happen the
way you all said it did?

My advice to you is don't ask.

I don't think you've got any
idea what he's capable of.

Not a clue.

- Kate.
- Danny Waldron's squad.

If anyone's got a wobble,
it's Hari Baines.

Received.

Suspect turned his gun
on us, we returned fire.

The suspect, he discharged his
weapon, and we returned fire.

Would it be easier for you
to tell us who fired first?

The suspect fired his pistol
at us. And we fired back at him.

But you didn't, did you, Constable?

No, sir, no.

The suspect had already taken
fire to the head and he went down.

So, what, you hesitated, is that it?

No, sir, no, it just all felt like
it happened in the same moment,

you know, the suspect firing
and then him being taken down.

'Why was there a patch of gunshot
residue from the suspect's firearm

five metres away from his body?

It must have been the
suspect was moving from

one position to the other as he fired.

"Must have"?

I mean, he was.

He was moving when he fired.

We know it's not easy, being
confined to desk duty.

Particularly if you're the
only one who didn't open fire.

Well, I didn't choke,
if that's what you mean.

No-one said you choked.

When you're AC-12, you're always
looking for an angle, aren't you?

We appreciate there's trust issues.

No-one wants to seem like they're
telling tales on their own.

But no-one wants to let a bent
copper off the hook, either.

But we've read your record.

You're an honest copper. This
is bothering you, Harinderpal.

Hari.

It's bothering you, Hari.

A lot.

Look, I told Waldron
to let the suspect go.

We were in pursuit. Like the bloke's
still going to carry out a hit
with half the Force on his tail.

What? You knew Waldron was out of
control and you tried to deter him?

- No, I never said he was out of control.
- Well, what are you saying?

You followed Danny Waldron's
script to the letter.

Except for one moment.

The little patch of gunshot residue

that was nowhere near where
the suspect's gun was found.

See what I mean?

You act like every copper's
bent till he's proven otherwise.

- But I'm clean. - Prove it.
- Tell us what really happened.

Why was there so much gunshot residue
from the suspect's firearm on Waldron?

What did he really do when
he claimed he was securing it?

I can't do this.

I'm sorry. I can't do this. There's...

There's no way I'm testifying
against Danny Waldron.

Hari Baines is dammed if he does,
dammed if he doesn't, poor bugger.

We'll be able to compel
him, I'm sure, sir.

If we can get to threshold, he'll go
with the flow to save his own neck.

We're a long way from
threshold yet, though.

- I've really got to go now, I'll
talk later. Bye. - Jill. - Sorry.

The Police Federation are pushing
back against Danny Waldron's treatment.

I got an e-mail from their
lawyer that was three pages long.

They want him operational again
and his firearms permit reinstated

unless you can show there's
substantive suspicion of crime

and/or misconduct and/or
endangerment of public trust.

We've got them all.

You don't have endangerment of
public trust as Operation Damson

remains unreported in the press
as per a legal suppression order.

So what have you actually got
regarding crime and/or misconduct?

There's a strong suspicion
Danny Waldron was

adjacent to the suspect when
the suspect's firearm went off

and that Waldron moved the firearm
before forensics got to the scene.

I've listened to the tape.

You all did your best

but Waldron deals plausibly
with all your areas of enquiry.

And his team's statements back him up.

We interviewed one of his team,
PC Harinderpal Baines, who

we strongly suspect is detachable
from Waldron's version of events.

Is he on the record?

- No, ma'am, but...
- I'm a civilian.

It's Gill or Miss Biggeloe.
So he's not on the record.

No. But we have an officer
undercover probing for weaknesses

in the team's statements.

Has she found any?

- Not yet, but she's only just started.
- So she hasn't.

Look, I've seen enough
bent coppers in my time

to know when one of
them is hiding something.

You know why I've been appointed.

To ensure that anti-corruption
inquiries don't get pulled apart

in court to everyone's embarrassment.

Yeah, well, we'd all
be severely embarrassed

if Daniel Waldron manages to pull
something like this off again.

We are protecting the public

and sometimes that means we have to
protect them from our own officers.

Legally this case is weak

and juries don't convict police
officers for killing suspects.

I've got no option but to
recommend that Waldron and his team

return to active duty and that their
firearms permits are reinstated.

What? She running our investigations now?

Search of premises, Class A drugs.

Residents are known to be in
possession. Have access to firearms.

Good to be back.

Armed Police!

Armed Police!

Jacks, you, Rod, Hari, secure
these rooms. Kate, with me.

Go. Go.

Armed Police!

Armed Police!

Armed Police!

All clear. Check the landing.

Kate, check in with the others.

- Victor Charlie Five Five.
- 'Five Two.'

- Status?
- 'Still checking.'

Move. Move.

Armed Police!

No!

Check your safety. Stand down.

Get the search team in here,

and we need an ambulance
and social services.

- 'Yes, skipper.' - It's all
right. No-one's going to hurt you.

Good boy.

It's all right. Shh.

How old are you, eh?

Hi, it's me.

Yeah, fine. Just... I'll be busy later.

I just wanted to get him
before he went to bed.

Thanks.

Hi, sweetheart. Have you had a nice day?

Have you? Oh, that's lovely.

Kate.

There's no easy way to say
this. This isn't going to work.

Nobody feels worse about what happened --

what nearly happened -- than I do.

I decide who's right for
my team. No-one else.

Who can cut it and who
can't. It's nothing personal.

- You're just not up to the job.
- I messed up, but I'll learn.

- I don't give in, skipper.
- Neither do I.

Best you put in for a transfer.

Save me having to turn nasty.

Sorry.

Don't be. It's a free country.

Here you are.

Here you go.

- So, you worked with Jackie long?
- Couple of years, on and off. - Danny?

- A bit less. - I don't get
the impression there's much...

Sorry, Kate. Sorry, listen.

- I'm just... not feeling very
sociable right now. - No worries.

All right?

I'd better get in.

See you in a bit.

Look, I'm sorry.

- Don't let him wind you up like that.
- How do you think I feel right now?

- Just ignore him.
- Ignore him? Are you taking the piss?

Thanks.

Finally.

- Is that the file on the
suspect shot by Waldron? - Yeah.

What?

We need an unredacted file.

Leave it to me. I'll crack
some heads together.

- You shouldn't be here.
- That only applies if we're investigating you.

- You're off the hook. - What do you
want? - You didn't know the suspect.

- No. - I heard a rumour
about him. Heard the name.

You need to caution me
before you can ask that.

Like this is on the record.

I just want to know the truth.

The file on Ronan Murphy.
The suspect's name.

Large sections were redacted.

If there's something bigger here, Danny,

you don't want to be the
one left carrying the can.

- Do you run, Steve?
- I don't have to. No-one's chasing me.

I do.

Miles, some nights. Tens of miles.

It gets till every part of me hurts.

But the one thing I know is you
keep going through the pain

because if you stop,

it's going to hurt a whole
lot more to get started again.

When this is all done, Steve,
I'll suffer for my actions.

I'm under no illusions of a happy ending.

But I ain't going to stop.

Danny.

One thing we both know --

easiest way to get away
with killing someone,

be a police officer.

Come on. You want to
have a go with the light?

Press the button. Press
the button for Daddy.

Won't be long before you're
driving yourself, will it?

- Vroom vroom!
- It'll be a few years yet.

- Have a good day. - See
you. - See you later.

Hari.

- All right, Hari?
- Yeah, I'm fine, thanks, guv.

I'm concerned about the
interpersonal dynamics on the unit.

So I'm going to disband Danny's squad.

- What did Danny have to say about that?
- He won't be the problem.

The problem will be getting
AFOs to work with him.

I know he's not the easiest
skipper, but he's good at his job.

I'm learning loads from him,
so I'd rather keep at it.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

If you move us on now, ma'am, it
looks like we messed up, doesn't it?

And we didn't.

Man that is born of a woman
hath but a short time to live

and is full of misery.

He cometh up, and is
cut down, like a flower.

He fleeth as it were a shadow,
and never continueth in one stay.

Let us pray.

Here you are, girl. Come
on, there's a good dog.

Don't remember me?

- No.
- No?

Nor did the man that you buried.

Get down.

Sit.

Every time you don't do
what I say, it gets worse.

You'll sit, all right?

But first...

.. you'll take off all your clothes.

I never knew his name. Not really.

We did have a name for him, though.

So many years I wondered what
I'd do if I ever saw him again.

And then I did.

In a photo in a briefing room.

And I was being sent
to meet him with a gun.

Before you ask, this isn't the one.

Illegal, untraceable, no
problem with using it on you.

So, who was he to you?

Nephew.

I never knew that there
was a family connection.

We had a name for you, too.

Do you want to know what it was?

Do you want to know what it was?

The only thing with Ronan,
it was over too fast.

But I've got you to make up for that.

Here you go.

Sergeant Waldron.

- 'Four Zero, radio check.
- Seven Zero, radio check.

'All units, intel reports no egress
from the premises this morning.

'Residents are believed to be in
situ and should be considered armed

'and dangerous till proved otherwise.

'Five Zero have been briefed and
will enter and secure premises.

'Other units are to
standby and await orders.'

Armed Police!

- Armed Police! - Armed Police! - Armed
Police! - Nobody move! Armed Police!

- Armed Police! - Armed Police!
- Show your hands. Turn around.

Hands behind your back, walk to me.

- Keep coming. - Move. - Turn
around, hands behind your back.

- Behind your back. To me. Keep
your hands down. - Move! Move!

- Who else is in the house?
- No-one.

We're going up. Call it in, channel one.

Victor Charlie Five Five on one.

'Victor Charlie Four One,
go ahead, Five Five.'

Two suspects in custody.
Continuing the search.

Hari, Rod, Jacks, go up. Kate, stay put.

I'm good to go up.

You lot go up. Back-to-back on two.

Stay on one.

You really going to be like this?

You had your chance to make this painless.

In the morning I'm telling
McAndrew to bump you off the squad.

- 'Victor Charlie Five One.'
- Five One.

'Five Four. You better
come up here, skipper.'

On my way.

Don't move a muscle.

- Who else was up there?
- No-one, I told you.

Shot fired, Five Five.

No further information. Shot fired.

- 'Victor Charlie Four One.
What's going on?' - Shit!

'Five Five, report.'

Victor Charlie Five Five, status
zero, officer seriously wounded.

What happened?

Shit!

'We have a status zero
on one of our officers.'

Stay with me, Danny, stay with me.

What's he saying?

What's he saying?

Stay with me, Danny. Danny! Danny!
