The Bill S26E15 Bad Blood
Transcript
00:00Right, that is me done.
00:07Do you fancy a pint? I'll buy it.
00:09I've fucking read my mind.
00:14Oh, turn it in.
00:16What do you mean?
00:17I'll catch you up.
00:21DC Web?
00:23Yeah, alright, I'll give his brief a call again in the morning.
00:26But it'll probably get adjourned, always does.
00:28Yeah.
00:29Er, no, that call I just took, a mate of mine died.
00:32Got knocked off his bike last week.
00:34Oh, I'm sorry, Mickey.
00:35Decent enough, like we weren't best buddies or anything.
00:38The thing is, his brother's Jimmy Ferrier.
00:41Oh, sorry, I'm lost. Who's Jimmy Ferrier?
00:43Drug dealer, dangerous man.
00:45So why's he called you in?
00:46Because he don't reckon it was an accident.
00:48He thinks he was murdered.
00:50He wants me to meet him, now.
00:59Oh.
01:20Oi, is this him?
01:21I'm sorry?
01:22Should be on my second pint by now.
01:29DC Web?
01:30Yeah.
01:31It's this car.
01:32Jimmy Ferrier.
01:33What?
01:36My brother, he spoke very highly of you.
01:38He was a good man.
01:39I'm sorry for your loss.
01:43He was being followed by someone in a car.
01:46Blue car.
01:48Watching him.
01:50When?
01:51He first clocked it about three weeks ago.
01:53Did he report it?
01:54Why not?
01:56I don't know, he didn't want to scare his wife.
01:58You told no one else about this?
02:00Not till now.
02:01Why?
02:04I wanted to do some digging myself, first.
02:07What were you digging for, exactly?
02:13We both know what you are, mate, so let's not beat around the bush.
02:15Was Mish caught up dealing drugs?
02:16No!
02:18What, so now you've made sure you're not implicated in any way,
02:20you've decided to come to us?
02:22Well, deeper sympathies in all that, Jimmy, but I don't think we can help.
02:25It's not so much for the information, let's go.
02:27Hold on.
02:28There's something I need you to listen to.
02:36The car's back, it's followed me for 20 minutes, I don't know what to do.
02:39I don't want it taking me back to the house.
02:41I need you to come and get me. Where are you, mate?
02:44Where the hell are you, Jimmy?
02:49He left that message at 11.25.
02:52I reckon it was it at about 11.30.
02:55As I said, I...
02:58I need you to help me.
03:04Me and Mish's wife, we don't have the best of relationships.
03:07It's probably a good idea if I ducked out.
03:09You're not ducking anywhere.
03:12EB?
03:14It's me.
03:16Police are here, they want to talk to you.
03:25He didn't have enemies.
03:27He ran a caf, for God's sake.
03:30He was worried that someone was after him.
03:32According to Jimmy, Mitch hadn't said anything to me.
03:35You weren't aware of any problems?
03:37No.
03:40He seemed a bit on edge.
03:41Like how?
03:42He was calling me from work a lot.
03:44He was looking to having some alarm installed.
03:47The thing is, he was anxious about the baby.
03:50Becoming a dad.
03:51He was anxious because some nutter was following him.
03:54You know what, Jimmy?
03:56There's your world, and then there's the real world.
03:59In the real world, someone goes down the pub,
04:01drives home drunk, and kills a cyclist.
04:04I know he doesn't have the glamour of your conspiracy theories.
04:07You heard his message, EB.
04:08Tomorrow morning, I'm burying my husband.
04:11In a couple of months' time, I'm having his baby.
04:14I can't cope with this.
04:22Look.
04:24I know you want this to be an accident.
04:26I understand that.
04:28But in the long run, we need to know the truth.
04:32EB, did Mitch keep anything like diaries, calendars, anything like that?
04:37Do you want to have a look?
04:51I like this paperwork, don't I?
04:53Sarge, look at this. He's paid off three of his credit cards in full last week.
04:58He's got one of them ready-made will templates.
05:00Here, look at this.
05:04It's an application for life insurance.
05:06It's what people do when they have a kid, isn't it?
05:08No, no, that's what people do when you think you're about to die.
05:11You still think it was an accident?
05:13I don't know. I'm not sure that I care.
05:15What I don't appreciate is a scumbag like Jimmy Ferrier dictating how I spend my evening.
05:18It's not about Jimmy, is it? It's about his brother.
05:22Well, the time marks are rubbish. No witnesses, no CCTV.
05:26No evidence at the scene at all?
05:28No evidence, full stop.
05:29I mean, we've still got the voicemail that Mitch left.
05:31About him being followed.
05:33All provided by an iffy drug dealer.
05:37What do we think about him?
05:39Well, there's a stage these guys go through when they've moved up from the street,
05:42but they don't quite know where they fit in.
05:44They buy themselves a flash car, expensive watch. That's where Jimmy's at.
05:48I think if Jimmy's going to let us in, we should exploit the situation.
05:51So far, we've got no hard evidence that Mitch Ferrier was murdered, right?
05:55So until we find some or prove otherwise,
05:57why don't we try and bag ourselves a couple of dealers along the way?
06:00Er, the funeral's tomorrow.
06:02Personally, I'd be interested to see who shows up.
06:04Yeah, me too.
06:05Yeah?
06:08So you're happy to investigate now?
06:10Well, so long as I don't feel like Jimmy Ferrier's running the show, I'm fine with it.
06:19Now, Mickey, if you're trying to impress Commander Kennedy, you're too late.
06:22She's already gone back to Scotland Yard.
06:23Eh?
06:24You in court?
06:25Funeral.
06:26Oh, sorry.
06:28Put someone close.
06:29No, not really, but the problem is he's a drug dealer's brother.
06:32So Sergeant Sensitive's using it for a bit of reconnaissance.
06:34Tactful.
06:36You all right, Joe?
06:37All the better for seeing you, man.
06:38Come on, let's go fishing.
06:39Well, hey, remember, this is a funeral, Sergeant,
06:41so a little bit of sensitivity, yeah?
06:43Yeah, your problem, Mickey, you get too attached.
06:45Mitch was a mate of mine, I remember that.
06:47That's how you do it all the time.
06:48That Trevor bloke who ran off with his son, that little snout...
06:50Jasmine, what's Jasmine got to do with anything?
06:52Just saying, you get your causes, and we all have to wait until you're over them before any work gets done.
06:55Listen...
06:56Stop trying to save the world, will you?
07:03Thanks for coming, girls.
07:04Who's that bloke over there? Is he one of the Grimms?
07:07Is that her dad?
07:08Oh, my goodness.
07:16My darling.
07:20What are you doing here?
07:21Just come to pay my respects, mate. That's all.
07:23These are his friends.
07:24The people he went to football with, his customers.
07:39You see that car?
07:40Is that it?
07:41Yeah, we're kind of just getting out.
07:44That's Ryan Lacey.
07:58Tragic, eh?
08:00Mickey Whip?
08:01A 19-year-old.
08:03He's a good kid.
08:04Tragic, eh?
08:06Mickey Whip?
08:07Nigel Smith.
08:11Family?
08:13No, no, no.
08:14Just a friend.
08:17A customer.
08:18Yeah, me too.
08:22Anything?
08:23Neither.
08:24These seats are reserved for family.
08:27It's all right.
08:28Because of us.
08:30It's more than my condolences.
08:33Thank you.
08:55Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for coming.
08:59It means the world to Evie and me.
09:01And I know that Mitch...
09:04I'm sure he would have been very touched.
09:08Me and Mitch, we lost our mum and dad when we were very young.
09:12And although he was my little brother,
09:14he was more of a father to me than anyone.
09:17It seems cruel, really, that...
09:21you only fully appreciate someone's influence,
09:24their importance in your life,
09:27at the very moment they leave you.
09:30And now Mitch has been denied the opportunity of being a father.
09:35Denied a long and loving relationship with his beautiful wife.
09:39And a person who'd done this to him.
09:43I hope they're right in hell.
09:59Thank you.
10:18Lovely service, Vicar.
10:19Thank you.
10:20This is Ryan Lacey.
10:21He's a dealer.
10:23I'd be very interested to see what his connection is to the Ferrier brothers.
10:26If you want to carry on mingling, talk to her. She knows most people.
10:28She used to work in his cafe.
10:29I think she's still there, been there a few months.
10:38Hey.
10:40So you're a copper.
10:42That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
10:44What's so funny about that?
10:46What did you think I did?
10:47I don't know, a bummer or something.
10:50Look, I've already had your mate bending me about Mitch's criminal acquaintances.
10:54He only shut up when the inn started.
10:56Sorry about that.
10:58Did he have any dodgy mates?
11:00A bit of respect, Vicar.
11:02He was your friend.
11:04Yeah, well, sometimes you don't know people as well as you think you do, you know what I mean?
11:07Did he ever mention to you that he was worried?
11:09Been followed in the car or...
11:10Passing.
11:11I never took it seriously.
11:12I never saw anything weird.
11:14So what do you think happened?
11:16It was an accident.
11:20Do you recognise this geyser here?
11:22Do you recognise this geyser here?
11:28Never been in a cafe, has he?
11:30Not that I can remember.
11:33No, me neither.
11:36Yeah, I've just been telling you, Mitch is obviously a popular boy.
11:39Does the name Spearman mean anything to you?
11:41Don't think so, why?
11:42I met him at the funeral.
11:44I just can't place his name, that's all.
11:45I ran him through Chris, all criminal, and there's nothing.
11:48What's Ryan Lacey got to do with this?
11:49Ryan Lacey was at the funeral.
11:50He had a bit of a set too with Mitch's wife.
11:52So the one interesting thing that happened this morning, you forgot to mention it.
11:55No, Governor, I was just about to say that.
11:56These are from an operation at Barton Street, ran against Lacey 18 months ago.
11:59What's the connection?
12:00Lacey is Jimmy's supplier.
12:02I've saved the best till last.
12:03A year ago, a fight broke out between Ryan Lacey and Mitch Ferrier in a pub.
12:07Police weren't called, but it's as well as Tim saw it.
12:09Do you know who it was about?
12:10No.
12:11DC rep?
12:12Yeah, well, slow down, Jimmy, slow down.
12:15Yeah.
12:17What if she's dialled 999?
12:18The uniform will be around in a minute.
12:21All right, I'm on my way.
12:23Evie Ferrier's house has been broken into.
12:36We pulled up, Hannah saw the door was open.
12:38I don't know if someone's still inside.
12:39Okay.
12:41Sir, can you just wait here for me, please?
12:44Hello?
12:46Hello, police?
12:48Stop!
13:004-3-7.
13:02Just there.
13:04Let me out of here.
13:06You deal with Evie, I'll head him off.
13:154-3-7.
13:46Sierra Oscar from 4-3-7.
13:49Yeah, we've lost him.
13:50Where'd he go?
13:524-3-7 from Sierra Oscar.
13:53Neil, did you see him?
13:54Not to pursue the suspect as he's on the tracks.
13:55Repeat, do not pursue.
13:57Anything missing?
13:58I'm not sure.
13:59It's a complete mess upstairs.
14:01But the money and the jewellery's still there.
14:04We lost him.
14:05She could have been here when this happened.
14:07Well, she wasn't.
14:09Say she had been.
14:10Yellow cane?
14:11White, lanky, 18s, early 20s.
14:13Well, whatever they were after, they were disturbed before they found it.
14:16Yeah.
14:19You're kidding.
14:22Cav's been done over.
14:25What are these people after, Jimmy?
14:27I don't know!
14:44I packed all the stuff for the wake last night.
14:46I mean, I just came by to pick it up.
14:48They knew we were at the funeral, didn't they?
14:51Huh?
14:53They knew.
14:54The house, this place, was empty.
14:56OK.
14:57Do you have the combination for this safe?
14:59Oh, I know it.
15:00OK.
15:08What did he keep in it?
15:10Nothing much.
15:11Paperwork, spare keys.
15:12Money?
15:13He took that down to the bank every evening.
15:16That's weird.
15:18Why would he do that?
15:20What?
15:21He's changed the combination.
15:23Who else knew it?
15:24Only me and Mitch.
15:26Do you need one?
15:28Well, it may have escaped your notice, Mr Ferrier,
15:30but your brother had something that someone else was very keen to get their hands on,
15:34and we need to make sure it's still not here, OK?
15:36Locksmith.
15:38I'm on it.
15:39Locksmith.
15:40I'm on it.
15:45I swear I nicked him a couple of years ago.
15:47Quite probably.
15:49He loved this place.
15:51It was like his kingdom, you know?
15:55Lauren, you go home.
15:57I'll finish cleaning up.
15:59I've still got a job.
16:00I mean, are we going to open it up again?
16:05I'll call you.
16:09Bye.
16:16Spent half his life in here.
16:19Arguing over football.
16:22Laughing with the punters.
16:23He loved it.
16:30I don't know what I'm going to do without him, Mickey.
16:33Every time my phone rings,
16:35it's like part of me still expects him to walk through the door.
16:39Listen, it's only been a couple of days, OK?
16:41Don't go beating yourself up.
16:46What else did he like to do outside of work?
16:50Football.
16:53The main league was EV.
16:56Listen, Jimmy, we're going to go all out on this, OK?
16:58So we really do need your help.
16:59I've gone through every possibility.
17:01Was he having an affair?
17:03Did he have money problems, gambling debts?
17:06I've drawn a blank every time.
17:10Why was Ryan Lacey at the funeral?
17:12Oh, he was there for me.
17:14Mitch barely knew him.
17:15He knew him well enough to go for a drink with him, though.
17:18I don't think so.
17:19They had a fight, didn't they?
17:20Pike said.
17:21June last year.
17:22What?
17:23No.
17:24Jimmy, I'll send the photos.
17:27Look,
17:28I know what you think of Ryan.
17:31I know what you must think of me, for that matter,
17:33but I can honestly tell you he's got nothing to do with this.
17:36I trust that man.
17:40Slate.
17:54Is that real?
17:56Oh, yeah, this is real.
17:58This is a bike, Al.
17:59A weapon of choice for your kind of people.
18:02You seen it before?
18:04That's got nothing to do with me.
18:05What's your brother doing with it?
18:10The question is,
18:11what's a seemingly normal guy like Mitch Ferrier doing in possession of a handgun?
18:16Protection.
18:18He was convinced he was being followed, wasn't he?
18:21Maybe he thought it was the only way he could look after himself.
18:23Well, if that's the case, maybe Jimmy's right.
18:25We are dealing with a murder here.
18:27Trouble is, we don't know who's done it or why.
18:29You ask me, all roads lead to Ryan.
18:31Why would Ryan Lacey want Mitch killed?
18:33I don't know.
18:34But Ryan's the only person who appears to have had an issue with Mitch.
18:37Everyone else thought it was God's gift of Friday.
18:39That's hardly conclusive.
18:40Plus, Jimmy didn't even know his brother and his drug supply had a fight.
18:42To me, that says there was something underhand going on between Mitch and Ryan.
18:46Go.
18:47Put the gun to the lab.
18:48Oh, and I don't know what you want to do with this.
18:50What is it?
18:51Two a seat.
18:52It's an opacity bag with a gun.
18:53Dancers.
18:54It's a chain of dealer workshops.
18:56Contact the store, Nate.
18:57See if you can find out who that belongs to.
18:59I'll do my best.
19:02Until we get a lead on this gun,
19:04there's not much else we can do.
19:06Right, let's get him checked in, yeah?
19:11Mickey?
19:13I thought you'd started smoking again there for a minute.
19:16No, just trying to make sense of stuff that don't make sense at all, you know.
19:21You still think your mate's innocent in all this, then?
19:23I think it might be mean of him to let me down, yeah.
19:26I doubt it.
19:28Max gave me a pep talk.
19:30I gave him a pep talk.
19:32Max gave me a pep talk.
19:34I get him too emotionally involved.
19:37I know Jimmy's a dealer, but
19:39Gizzy's just lost his brother, you know what I mean?
19:41He's come to us for help.
19:44I should just shut up and get on with what he says, eh?
19:46Probably.
19:47But then it would be a shame not to see the look on Max's face if you're right.
19:51Yeah.
19:52Yeah.
19:596-1. Athletic build.
20:02Yeah.
20:05Right, you understand what I need you to do, yeah?
20:08Right, the time on the till receipt is 12.15pm.
20:11And the date's the 4th of March.
20:13And you need to find the CCTV that corresponds with that.
20:15Can you do that for me, darling?
20:17You're an angel.
20:21I can't wait to see you in the flesh too.
20:23Alright, thanks a lot. Bye.
20:28What?
20:30Unbelievable.
20:33I hate to resort to clichés.
20:34Well, don't then.
20:35But I told you so.
20:37Holistics report. Have a look at that.
20:39No fingerprints.
20:41But they match the weapon to a shooting.
20:42A dealer got kneecapped two years ago.
20:44Feast your eyes on the main suspect.
20:46Ryan Lacey.
20:47The one and only.
20:48Victim never gave an actual statement, but off the record...
20:50Said it was Lacey.
20:51Which means?
20:52The gun found in Mitch's safe probably belongs to Ryan Lacey.
20:54Gav, what was that on the receipt you gave me?
20:57Managed to pin down the branch he was from and the time.
21:00Tell me there was CCTV.
21:01Well, the woman I spoke to on the phone was kind enough to look into it for me.
21:04And guess who it shows?
21:06Perfect.
21:08Cheers, mate.
21:09Pleasure's all mine.
21:12Well, my head's completely pickled here.
21:13What's Mitch Ferrier doing in possession of a weapon for somebody that he don't like?
21:17I don't know, but it's just like I said.
21:18Something was going on between these two.
21:19And I think Ryan Lacey can give us the answer.
21:21Yeah? How?
21:23Not from the evidence alone.
21:24If Lacey knows all we've got is a receipt and a plastic bag...
21:27He'll be laughing all the way out of custody.
21:28Um...
21:30What about Jimmy?
21:32Say he goes to Ryan...
21:34That's it.
21:35Say he goes to Ryan, tells him Evie found the gun.
21:38Mitch said it came from Ryan.
21:40It's reasonable enough for Jimmy to want answers.
21:42You think Jimmy's gonna go for that?
21:43Him and Lacey go way back.
21:44Well, he might if he thinks it'll help us find out who killed his brother.
21:47And I'm sure he'll listen to you, Mickey.
21:49Come on, we're this close to taking Ryan Lacey, a known drug supplier, off the streets.
21:52I thought this was supposed to be a murder investigation.
21:54It is.
21:55Justice for a grieving family and all that?
21:56We do this right.
21:57We do this right, we get both.
21:59It is worth a go, Mickey.
22:01Are you up for talking to him?
22:05Yeah.
22:16We've been doing a bit of digging into that gun that we found.
22:20Yeah?
22:21Yeah.
22:22We think it belongs to Ryan Lacey.
22:24Why would Mitch have Ryan's gun?
22:26They hardly knew each other.
22:28Jimmy, I think you need to accept that they may have known each other a bit more than you think.
22:32What? Because of this fight you say they had?
22:35And the gun.
22:39You think Ryan's got something to do with Mitch's death?
22:41No.
22:42Don't you?
22:43I don't know.
22:48No.
22:49No way.
22:51He couldn't.
22:52Honestly?
22:53Jimmy, we don't know what's going on here.
22:55Now Mitch was obviously scared of someone.
22:58And Ryan ain't telling us everything.
23:01So what?
23:02Are you going to talk to him?
23:05Well, it ain't that simple.
23:09We want you to talk to him.
23:12Come on, Jimmy, you know him.
23:14Nothing heavy.
23:16We'll be outside.
23:17We'll just stick a phone in your top pocket, stick it on speakerphone and get him talking.
23:20See if he's got anything to say.
23:25If he's not up for it, I don't know where we go next with this investigation.
23:40I'll get your phone.
23:43I'm going to plumb my number into here and call you, OK?
23:47I'll leave it on speakerphone so we can hear what's going on, that's all.
23:50I'll leave it on speakerphone so we can hear what's going on, that's all.
23:54There you go, someone's speaking now.
23:55Stick it in your pocket.
23:56Be in here, dude.
23:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll do.
23:58Now, you've been in here before, yeah?
24:00Any problems at all, just make for the door, alright?
24:03Yeah?
24:04Right.
24:10Alright, let's go.
24:13I hope he's up for this.
24:14So am I.
24:20What up, Ryan?
24:22Hi, Tim.
24:24Listen, mate, there's something I need to talk to you about.
24:28OK.
24:29Come through.
24:30Who's this fella?
24:32Don't know.
24:33Can't see his face.
24:34Do you want a drink or something stronger?
24:36Maybe not.
24:39I thought you might need to pick me up.
24:40Did I have order?
24:41Ryan, there are some blokes in the car at the front.
24:44I don't like it.
24:45Just a bit wary.
24:47Just a bit of backup, you know?
24:50Can't tell him to join us.
24:53Where are we going?
24:54Now?
24:55We've got to get out of here.
24:56What, just leave him in there?
24:57If we go in there and Ryan says we're police...
25:00Oh, no.
25:01That's the geezer who broke into Weeby's.
25:03I chased him.
25:04What if he recognises me?
25:13I'll go in there.
25:14I'll go in.
25:15You drive off.
25:16No, no, I'll get to work on your unit.
25:17You don't be silly.
25:20Come on.
25:24Problem?
25:25You both wanted inside.
25:30Yeah, here we go.
25:31Here we go.
25:48Good evening, chaps.
25:49Have a seat.
25:50All right?
25:53Want to sort me out?
25:57Listen, we ain't here to cause no bother.
25:58We're just mates of Jimmy's, that's all.
26:00Yeah, I know.
26:01Jimmy's explained who you are, why you're here.
26:03Felt he needed some moral support.
26:05Me?
26:06I prefer things in the open.
26:08Don't like people skulking in the shadows.
26:10Fair enough.
26:12Makes me nervous.
26:14Listen, Ryan, I feel a bit uncomfortable talking to you about this, but...
26:19Talking about what?
26:22A couple of days before Mitch died,
26:24Evie found a gun in his office.
26:27And after a bit of an ear bashing,
26:30he told her that the gun belonged to you.
26:34You don't mind if I...?
26:35No, no.
26:37I know where he got that gun.
26:39Yeah?
26:40You gonna tell us?
26:44It's all right, man.
26:45Look,
26:47they're just here to help me get to the bottom of what happened to Mitch, all right?
26:53Don't think I had anything to do with it, do you?
26:57Jimmy,
26:58I suggest you think twice
27:00before you make a negotiation like that.
27:02Listen, no one's accusing you of anything.
27:04We're just trying to work out where Mitch got that gun from, that's all.
27:08All right.
27:09A couple of weeks ago, he came to see me.
27:12Said he was being towed by a car.
27:15Might be something to do with me.
27:18Why would he think that?
27:21Me and your brother
27:23had our disagreements over the years.
27:25He never took to me.
27:26Not since we were kids.
27:29Not long ago, he caught me doing a deal on his calf.
27:33Let's just say
27:34he was not happy about it.
27:37No.
27:54No, I'm all right, I'm tough.
27:56Really?
27:58Yeah, trying to stuff it.
27:59Really, why's that?
28:00Because I ain't got no off switch.
28:03I think
28:04a little bit of what you fancy does you good.
28:08Listen.
28:09Oh, what's that now?
28:16Cheers.
28:23Oh, yeah.
28:24That's good stuff.
28:25If you're silver, I don't deal rubbish.
28:29If I wanted some more,
28:31you know where I'd come to?
28:33Just bulk you up?
28:34Yeah.
28:35No way of a last minute request.
28:37Why, do you want to dance?
28:39Um...
28:40Let's just say I could put a bit of business your way.
28:45All good to go more often than not.
28:47So, Ryan.
28:49Mitch thought you were after him for some reason.
28:52Your brother was an irritating man.
28:54But he was your brother.
28:55So I wouldn't hurt him.
28:57When he said he was being followed,
28:58I just suggested he protect himself.
29:01So you offered him a gun?
29:04He didn't take it at first.
29:06Didn't think it was a good idea,
29:07but he came back here a few nights later.
29:10Monday, I think.
29:11He was in the state.
29:12Said the car's outside.
29:14We go out, we look.
29:15He's not there.
29:17What am I supposed to do?
29:19I just encouraged him to look out for himself.
29:22So you took the gun?
29:23Yeah.
29:29Jim.
29:30I've got a confession to make.
29:33Jackson here broke into your cafe in the house this morning.
29:37I asked him to get the gun back.
29:40Now, I hold my hands up to that,
29:42and I'm sorry.
29:45Should have come straight to you.
29:54Well, that went okay.
29:55Did it?
29:57As far as I'm concerned,
29:58it did no more than confirm
29:59exactly what I told you this time last night.
30:02Someone wanted my brother dead.
30:04I told you Ryan had nothing to do with this,
30:06and yet you make me go in here.
30:07Listen, listen, listen, Jimmy.
30:09Okay, we're making progress here.
30:10You may not think it.
30:11We can use this.
30:12Yeah?
30:13Yeah.
30:14Oh, good.
30:15What happens now?
30:17Look, it's late.
30:18Before we go any further,
30:19we need to talk to our inspector.
30:21We'll call you tomorrow morning.
30:22All right?
30:23Yeah.
30:29You want to tell me what went on in there?
30:31What?
30:32What do you mean, what?
30:33You didn't leave much choice, did you?
30:35Oh, don't give me any of that.
30:37We're playing best buddies with a dealer.
30:38His supplier chops you out the line,
30:39and you say no?
30:40What was I meant to do?
30:41Pull out my warrant card and say no?
30:42What do you think he's going to do?
30:43Rumble us if we did it?
30:44That's exactly what I think would have happened.
30:45So, thanks to me, we got a result out of this.
30:46Until one of them pipes up and grasses us up?
30:48Won't happen.
30:49And if it does, it's their word against ours.
30:50What's your problem?
30:52Come off it, Mickey.
30:53Look, you might as well drive.
30:54I'll update the government.
30:57Max.
30:58So, Ryan admitted.
31:00He gave Mitch the gun for protection.
31:02Believe him?
31:03He seemed on the level.
31:05But he had no inkling as to who Mitch needed protection from,
31:07or why.
31:09So, we're back to square one.
31:10Not quite, gunner.
31:12Ryan said that the car that was trailing Mitch
31:13also followed him to the club last Monday night.
31:15Now we go through CCTV,
31:17see if we can get an indi...
31:18I know, yeah.
31:19Bit of a long shot.
31:21OK, I'll get Uniform to recover the footage.
31:23There is something else we can do.
31:24What?
31:25We have reason to believe that Ryan Lacey
31:26is storing a supply of cocaine at the club.
31:29Go on.
31:30Yeah, he produced a couple of raps while we were there,
31:31and something he said kind of inferred
31:33there was more where that came from.
31:34You don't think Jimmy set him up?
31:36Not if you and I aren't there.
31:38If Uniform go in with a warrant,
31:39say they drew lucky on a stop and search,
31:40it's more than possible...
31:41That's a bit of a coincidence, Sarge.
31:42Maybe, but while we know the drugs are there,
31:43it's a risk I'm willing to take.
31:45Mickey, Ryan Lacey's given us all he can on Mitch's death.
31:48Hopefully CCTV will provide us with a further lead.
31:50But if it doesn't,
31:51at least doing Ryan for drugs gives us some sort of result.
31:53Exactly.
31:55OK, I'll organise the warrant.
31:57Well done, both of you.
32:00Sarge, with respect,
32:02I hope you realise what you're doing by arresting Ryan Lacey.
32:06He works out the weird cops.
32:07Who's to stop him mentioning what happened, eh?
32:09I don't think he will.
32:10Look, Mickey,
32:12I'm sorry if you felt compromised tonight.
32:14I just did what I felt was right.
32:16Yeah.
32:19POLICE RADIO CHATTER
32:33Sorry.
32:36Nice one.
32:37Listen, you couldn't do us a favour, could you?
32:38Not a chance.
32:39I'll pay you.
32:40Not even for a spring roll?
32:42DOOR OPENS
32:44DOOR CLOSES
32:46POLICE SIREN
32:49DOOR CLOSES
32:52Please tell me you weren't home.
32:54What do you think?
32:57Any joy?
32:58No.
32:59Are you going to give us a hand?
33:00If you ask nicely.
33:01Government Inn?
33:02He's downstairs interviewing Lacey.
33:03Don't let us down.
33:07Are you worried?
33:08No.
33:09Why would he think we were coppers?
33:13I'm just going to get a coffee.
33:18Your prints were all over the drugs packaging.
33:21Do you have anything to say about that?
33:25No comment.
33:29You're not going to say anything else, are you?
33:37No comment.
33:39No comment.
33:50Not a dicky bird from Lacey?
33:52About anything?
33:53I thought you weren't worried.
33:55I wasn't, Mickey.
33:56Just taking a professional interest.
33:57Jimmy Ferris downstairs in the front office said he wants a word.
34:00OK, you can handle that.
34:01Keep me posted.
34:03Please tell me these rumours I've heard are not true.
34:08You've nicked him.
34:10I stuck my neck out for you.
34:12Come this way.
34:17Listen to me, Jimmy.
34:18You don't have to worry, OK?
34:19We weren't in there with a warrant and a story
34:21that didn't have anything to do with our visit last night.
34:23Or you.
34:24You used me, Mickey.
34:26We couldn't ignore what we saw in the club.
34:28Oh, yeah?
34:29We couldn't ignore what we saw in the club.
34:31Oh, yeah?
34:32Maybe I shouldn't ignore what I saw.
34:34Your cokehead colleague, DS Carter.
34:36Look, we don't need to do that, OK?
34:39Mitch's murder, I'm on to it.
34:41We're trying to find a lead on that car that was following him.
34:43But, Jimmy, you've got to bear with me, all right?
34:46Why should I believe you?
34:47Listen, you've got to trust me on this, OK?
34:54Check this out, Mickey.
34:57Mitch?
34:58Yep.
34:59There's the blue car.
35:00It's Yankee 3-2-2.
35:03Bravo Echo Papa.
35:08That's the blue Sartre Nigel Spearman.
35:11It's the fella I was talking to at the funeral.
35:13Yeah?
35:14Yeah, his name rings a bell.
35:15We ain't got no connection to Mitch Ferrier whatsoever.
35:17OK, I'll do some digging on the name.
35:19See what the general registry has on it.
35:21You need to speak to him.
35:29No sign of the car.
35:36Mrs Spearman?
35:37Yes?
35:38DS Carter, DC Webb, Sunhill.
35:39I don't suppose your husband's in?
35:40No, he's not here.
35:41Do you know where he is?
35:44Do you mind if we come in?
35:46Nigel and I separated six months ago.
35:49We haven't had much contact since.
35:52Has something happened?
35:53Mrs Spearman, if you've got any idea at all where your husband might be,
35:56we really need to talk to him.
35:59Where does he work?
36:01He was a solicitor at Stoddart Miles.
36:03He left a while ago.
36:04Where did he go after that?
36:07As far as I know, he's not working.
36:10Your surname's familiar to me.
36:11How do I know it?
36:13What's all that?
36:14It's nothing.
36:15It's nothing.
36:16It's nothing.
36:17It's nothing.
36:18It's nothing.
36:19What's all that?
36:20Spearman's file from the general registry.
36:22There's four more downstairs.
36:25Better get someone to give you a hand.
36:39Excuse me.
36:40Where's my gun?
36:42Max, I need you both to come in now.
36:43We've got something.
36:50Nigel and Sarah Spearman's daughter.
36:52Emma Spearman, 15 years old.
36:54Yeah, she went clubbing about a year ago.
36:56She died after taking a dodgy ecstasy tablet.
36:58That's how I know that name.
37:00So why have we got CCTV of Nigel's car following Mitch around East London?
37:04Because Nigel knew who sold her the pill.
37:06Jimmy Ferrier?
37:07Yeah, he was the main dealer at the club at the time of Anna's death.
37:10Did they raid him?
37:11Yeah, but he got rid.
37:12Go.
37:13Nigel Spearman's address.
37:15So Nigel Spearman wants revenge for his daughter.
37:17Why does he go for Mitch instead of Jimmy? I don't get it.
37:19Mistaken identity. Got the wrong brother.
37:21Well, let's pick him up and find out, shall we?
37:23Go.
38:18Before you ask your questions, I'd like to read a prepared statement.
38:23Yeah, that's fine.
38:29Just over a year ago,
38:32I lost my beautiful, beloved daughter,
38:35Anna.
38:38Who died a few weeks before her 16th birthday after taking a single pill.
38:41Who died a few weeks before her 16th birthday after taking a single pill.
38:47MDMA.
38:52I...
39:00I ran Mitch Ferrier down with my car on Mercy Lane.
39:03He was, um...
39:06He was on his bike.
39:08Afterwards,
39:10I didn't stop. I...
39:12I drove straight home.
39:15Are you stating that you deliberately killed Mr Mitch Ferrier?
39:23I don't know what it was. I just saw him alive.
39:27It just happened.
39:28Mm-hmm.
39:38I wanted the man who sold Anna that pill to...
39:43I wanted him to know what it's like losing someone you love,
39:47and having to go on living with that
39:50every day
39:51for the rest of your life.
39:55I wanted him to suffer.
39:59For the benefit of the tape,
40:01can you tell us which man you're referring to?
40:03James Ferrier.
40:08Poor bloke.
40:12You all right?
40:13I don't know, you know.
40:15Mitch didn't deserve to die, I know that.
40:18You know what, I can kind of understand why it happened.
40:20It's just that...
40:21Mickey.
40:23I've sent Max to tell Mrs Spearman that Nigel's confessed.
40:26God knows how she's going to take that,
40:28but we need someone to tell Jimmy what's happened.
40:31Do you feel up to it?
40:32Yeah, sure.
40:33OK.
40:35Nigel Spearman lost his daughter, OK?
40:37He needed someone to pay.
40:38You're telling me my brother is dead
40:40because some kid had an allergic reaction?
40:42Her name was Anna.
40:43She weren't just some kid.
40:45Jimmy, you want the truth, there it is.
40:46It's ugly.
40:47She came to me and asked for a pill.
40:49I didn't ram it down her throat.
40:50She was 15 years old.
40:52We were in a club.
40:53She could have passed for 25.
40:54Well, the point is, she died.
40:56She wasn't murdered.
40:57She was killed.
40:59She was killed.
41:00She was killed.
41:01She was killed.
41:02She was killed.
41:03She wasn't murdered.
41:05My brother, Mitch, was murdered.
41:07Is that fair?
41:08Are you happy with that?
41:11The father, he should have killed me.
41:13He should have killed me.
41:15He should have killed me.
41:19He should have killed me.
41:25What am I going to do?
41:27What am I going to do now?
41:30What am I going to do?
41:31I'll tell you what you're going to do, Jimmy.
41:33You're going to look after your brother's baby.
41:35You're going to look after Evie.
41:37Do you think she's going to want anything to do with me now?
41:39I don't know.
41:45What would Mitch want?
41:47Eh?
42:03I don't know.
42:04I don't know.
42:32You should have just gone home.
42:33No, I was just feeling a bit bad.
42:34Yep.
42:35Ending trial.
42:37Don't look so glum, mate.
42:39Murder solved.
42:40Heavyweight dealer off the streets.
42:41I call that a good day's work.
42:42I don't think Jimmy Ferrier sees it like that, does he?
42:45Mickey.
42:46Don't forget Jimmy's the bad guy in all this.
42:48You think so?
42:49Yeah. Yeah, I do.
42:51Well, sometimes it's not that simple, is it?
42:54Alright, well, er...
42:56Don't lose any sleep over it.
42:57No, I won't.
43:04Look, I'm going up there to find my wife, alright?
43:06She doesn't do this kind of thing!
43:08All we can do is wait, I guess.
43:10But I shouldn't have let her go.
43:12Oh, Deanna Manson.
43:14Nice of you to turn up.
43:15Something's happened to her, something very bad.
43:17You've got to find her.
43:18It looks to me as though Julia Pierce is calmly walking away from attempted murder.
43:25Get your head back in the gear.
44:04It's got one of them ready-made will templates.
44:06Here, look at this.
44:10It's an application for life insurance.
44:13That's what people do when they have a kid, isn't it?
44:14No, no, that's what people do when you think you're about to die.
44:17You still think it was an accident?
44:19I don't know. I'm not sure that I care.
44:21What I don't appreciate is a scumbag like Jimmy Ferrier dictating how I spend my evening.
44:24It's not about Jimmy, is it? It's about his brother.
44:28I don't know.
44:29I'm not sure that I care.
44:30It's not about Jimmy, is it? It's about his brother.
44:34Well, the time marks are rubbish. No witnesses, no CCTV.
44:38No evidence at the scene assault?
44:40No evidence, full stop.
44:41I mean, we've still got the voicemail that Mitch left.
44:43That ain't being followed.
44:45All provided by an iffy drug dealer.
44:49What do we think about him?
44:51Well, there's a stage these guys go through when they've moved up from the street,
44:54but they don't quite know where they fit in.
44:56They buy themselves a flash car, expensive watch.
44:58That's where Jimmy's at.
45:00I think if Jimmy's going to let us in, we should exploit the situation.
45:03So far, we've got no hard evidence that Mitch Ferrier was murdered, right?
45:06So until we find some or prove otherwise,
45:08why don't we try and bag ourselves a couple of dealers along the way?
45:12The funeral's tomorrow.
45:14Personally, I'd be interested to see who shows up.
45:16Yeah, me too.
45:17Yeah?
45:20So you're happy to investigate, are you now?
45:22Well, so long as I don't feel like Jimmy Ferrier's running the show, I'm fine with it.
45:31Now, Mickey, if you're trying to impress Commander Kennedy, you're too late.
45:33She's already gone back to Scotland Yard.
45:34Eh?
45:35You in court?
45:36Funeral.
45:37Oh, sorry.
45:39Put someone close.
45:40No, not really, but the problem is he's a drug dealer's brother.
45:43So Sergeant Sensitive's using it for a bit of a connoisseur.
45:45Tackle!
45:47You all right, Joe?
45:48All the better for seeing you, man.
45:50Come on, let's go fishing.
45:51Right, remember, this is a funeral, Sergeant, so a little bit of sensitivity, yeah?
45:54Yeah, no problem, Mickey.
45:55You get too attached.
45:56Mitch was a mate of mine, remember that?
45:58No, you do it all the time.
45:59That Trevor bloke who ran off with his son, that little snout...
46:01Jasmine, what's Jasmine got to do with anything?
46:03Just saying, you get your causes and we all have to wait until you're over them before any work gets done.
46:06Listen...
46:07Stop trying to save the world, will you?
46:14Thanks for coming, girls.
46:15Who's that bloke over there?
46:16Is he a wonderment?
46:18Is that her dad?
46:20Yeah.
46:27All right, darling?
46:31What are you doing here?
46:32Just come to pay my respects, mate. That's all.
46:34These are his friends.
46:35The people who win a football with, his customers.
46:50Do you see that car?
46:51Don't know.
46:52Yeah, we can't just get in and out.
46:55That's Ryan Lyson.
47:09Tragic, eh?
47:11Mickey Whip.
47:12I don't know.
47:13I don't know.
47:14I don't know.
47:15I don't know.
47:16I don't know.
47:17I don't know.
47:19Nigel Smith.
47:23Family?
47:25No, no, no.
47:26Just a friend.
47:28A customer.
47:29Yeah, me too.
47:34Nothing?
47:35Neither.
47:36These seats are reserved for family.
47:38It's all right.
47:39Of course it fuss.
47:42It's more for my condolences.
47:44Than for me.
47:48Thank you.
48:08Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for coming.
48:12It means the world to either you and me.
48:14And I know that Mitch...
48:15I'm sure he would have been very touched.
48:20Me and Mitch, we lost our mum and dad when we were very young.
48:23And although he was my little brother,
48:26he was more of a father to me than anyone.
48:29It seems cruel, really, that...
48:33You only fully appreciate someone's influence,
48:36their importance in your life,
48:38at the very moment they leave you.
48:41And now Mitch has been denied the opportunity
48:44of being a father.
48:46Denied a long and loving relationship with his beautiful wife.
48:50And the person who'd done this to him.
48:54I hope they're right in hell.
49:08Right, that is me done.
49:10You fancy a pint? I'll buy it.
49:11I've fucking read my mind.
49:15Turn it in.
49:17Who's that?
49:18I'll catch you up.
49:23DC Webb.
49:25Yeah, all right, I'll give his brief a call again in the morning.
49:27But it'll probably get adjourned, always does.
49:29Yeah.
49:30All right?
49:32No, that call I just took, a mate of mine died.
49:34Got knocked off his bike last week.
49:36Oh, I'm sorry, Mickey.
49:37Decent enough bloke, we weren't best buddies or anything.
49:40The thing is, his brother's Jimmy Ferrier.
49:42His brother's Jimmy Ferrier?
49:44Oh, sorry, I'm lost.
49:45Who's Jimmy Ferrier?
49:46Drug dealer, dangerous man.
49:48So why's he called you?
49:50Because he don't reckon it was an accident.
49:51Thinks he was murdered.
49:53Must meet him now.
50:13Hey, is this him?
50:14I hope so.
50:15Should be on my second pint by now.
50:21DC Webb.
50:22Yeah.
50:23It's Jits car.
50:24Jimmy Ferrier.
50:25Right.
50:27My brother, he spoke very highly of you.
50:29He was a good man.
50:30Yeah, he was.
50:31He was a good man.
50:32He was a good man.
50:33He was a good man.
50:34He was a good man.
50:35He was a good man.
50:36He was a good man.
50:37He was a good man.
50:38He was a good man.
50:39He was a good man.
50:40He was a good man.
50:41He was a good man.
50:42I'm sorry for your loss.
50:46He was being followed by someone in a car.
50:49Blue car.
50:51Watching him.
50:53When?
50:54He first clocked it about three weeks ago.
50:56Did he report it?
50:57Why not?
50:59I don't know.
51:00He didn't want to scare his wife.
51:02Have you told anyone else about this?
51:03Not till now.
51:05Why?
51:08I wanted to do some digging myself first.
51:11What were you digging for, exactly?
51:16We both know what you are, mate, so let's not beat around the bush.
51:18Was Mish caught up dealing drugs?
51:19No!
51:21What, so now you've made sure you're not implicated in any way,
51:23you've decided to come to us?
51:25Well, deeper sympathies in all that, Jim, but I don't think we can help.
51:28So, so much for the information. Let's go.
51:30Let's go.
51:41Let's go.
51:57Lovely service, Vicar.
51:58Thank you.
51:59This is Ryan Lacey.
52:00He's a dealer.
52:02I'd be very interested to see what his connection is to the Ferrier brothers.
52:05If you want to carry on mingling, talk to her. She knows my speed.
52:07Yeah, I know her. She used to work in his cafe.
52:09She's still here. I've been here a few months.
52:18Hey.
52:20So you're a copper.
52:21That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
52:24What's so funny about that?
52:25What did you think I did?
52:27I don't know, a bummer or something.
52:30Look, I've already had your mate bending me ear about Mitch's criminal acquaintances.
52:34He only shut up when the end started.
52:36Sorry about that.
52:38Did he have any dodgy mates?
52:40A bit of respect, Vicar.
52:42He was your friend.
52:44Yeah, well, sometimes you don't know people as well as you think you do, you know what I mean?
52:47Did he ever mention to you that he was worried?
52:49Being followed in a car or...
52:51Passing. I never took it seriously. I never saw anything weird.
52:54So what do you think happened?
52:57It was an accident.
53:01Do you recognise this geyser here?
53:07Never been in a cafe, has he?
53:09Not that I can remember.
53:12No, me neither.
53:15Yeah, it's a good turn-out. Mitch is obviously a popular boy.
53:18Does the name Spearman mean anything to you?
53:20Don't think so. Why?
53:21I met him at the funeral.
53:23I just can't place his name, that's all.
53:24I ran it through Chris, all crimin', and there's nothing.
53:27What's Ryan Lacey got to do with this?
53:29Ryan Lacey was at the funeral.
53:30He had a bit of a set-to with Mitch's wife.
53:32So the one interesting thing that happened this morning, you forgot to mention it.
53:34No, Governor, I was just about to say that.
53:36These are from an operation at Barton Street. Ran against Lacey 18 months ago.
53:39What's the connection?
53:40Lacey is Jimmy's supplier.
53:42Saved the best till last.
53:43A year ago, a fight broke out between Ryan Lacey and Mitch Ferrier in a pub.
53:47Police weren't called, but it's well as Tim saw it.
53:49Do you know what it was about?
53:50No.
53:51DC rep?
53:52Yeah, well, slow down, Jimmy, slow down.
53:55Yeah.
53:56Well, if she's dialled 999, the uniform will be around in a minute.
53:59There's something I need you to listen to.
54:07The car's back, it's followed me for 20 minutes.
54:09I don't know what to do.
54:10I don't want it taking me back to the house.
54:12I need you to come and get me.
54:13Where are you, mate?
54:15Where the hell are you, Jimmy?
54:20He left that message at 11.25.
54:23I reckon it was it at about 11.30.
54:27As I said, Diane,
54:30I need you to help me.
54:37Me and Mitch's wife, we don't have the best of relationships.
54:39It's probably a good idea if I ducked out.
54:42You're not ducking anyway.
54:45Evie?
54:47It's me.
54:49Police are here, they want to talk to you.
54:52Come.
54:56He didn't have enemies.
54:58He ran a caf for God's sake.
55:01He was worried that someone was after him.
55:03According to Jimmy,
55:04Mitch hadn't said anything to me.
55:06You weren't aware of any problems?
55:08No.
55:11He seemed a bit on edge.
55:12Like how?
55:13Well, he was calling me from work a lot.
55:15He was looking to having some alarm installed.
55:18The thing is, he was anxious about the baby.
55:21Becoming a dad.
55:22He was anxious because some nutter was following him.
55:25You know what, Jimmy?
55:27There's your world, and then there's the real world.
55:30In the real world, someone goes down the pub,
55:32drives home drunk, and kills a cyclist.
55:35I know he doesn't have the glamour of your conspiracy theories.
55:38You heard his message, Evie.
55:39Tomorrow morning, I'm burying my husband.
55:42In a couple of months' time, I'm having his baby.
55:45I can't cope with this.
55:47I can't.
55:54Look.
55:56I know you want this to be an accident.
55:58I understand that.
55:59But in the long run, we need to know the truth.
56:03Evie, did Mitch keep anything like diaries, calendars, anything like that?
56:08Do you want to have a look?
56:22I like this paperwork, don't I?
56:23Sarge, look at this.
56:24He's paid off three of his credit cards in full last week.
