00:00Following yesterday's events, police conduct have opened an investigation.
00:16Thanks to you, we now have the IOPC crawling all over the department.
00:19Sir, I believe the firearms operation was conducted following protocol.
00:24And yet still resulted in a shooting of a suspect.
00:27And not just any suspect.
00:32You'll both need to give the IOPC a statement regarding the operation.
00:44This seems to be, um, a recurring theme here, eh?
00:51You went in alone to interview a prisoner.
00:54T.I.R.A. was asked to undertake that, sir.
00:57Not alone.
01:00That was not signed off in the risk assessment.
01:05You also pursued a kidnapped vehicle, putting D.S. Bottomley in danger when you should have
01:12waited for marked cars to intercept.
01:15D.S. Bottomley was significantly affected by the incident.
01:22You entered an abandoned gym where a hostage was reported to have been held, without backup.
01:30Putting yourself and potentially others at risk.
01:34And you insisted on going to meet a dangerous suspect without your team.
01:38Actually, sir, she did have someone with her.
01:42T.I.R.A.
01:43Are you a trained negotiator?
01:45I am not, sir.
01:48So why do you think it's okay for you to barge into any dangerous situation that comes your way?
01:53Sir, I was following my instincts.
01:54Your instincts led to the shooting of a suspect.
01:58Your unauthorized proximity to an armed and non-compliant suspect necessitated the deployment
02:04of lethal force.
02:07You are a danger to yourself and to others.
02:11This is on you, Ray.
02:31Mrs. Mechani?
02:32My son's been shot.
02:33I haven't got time for your bullshit questions.
02:35Tell me something, Detective Inspector.
02:38You know full well he's innocent, and you were right there.
02:42Why didn't you do something?
03:08I'm sorry to bother you so late.
03:33I just...
03:34It's okay.
03:35I saw a man shot in front of me.
03:38It was my fault.
03:40I felt like I was back there again that night with Tony.
03:45Your infidelity with Tony had nothing to do with him being shot.
03:49Rashida, what you're feeling is perfectly natural.
03:52It's only been a matter of months.
03:56Survivor's guilt is very common, and something like this, it can trigger...
04:00Tony had a son.
04:04What do I have?
04:06No one.
04:11It should have been me.
04:14I mean, who would fucking care?
04:16It should have been me.
04:18What about your parents, Rashida?
04:21How do you think they would feel if they lost you?
04:26You mean the mother who left me to fend for myself because she'd heard
04:29so much about what people thought of her, of us,
04:32that she actually forgot to give a shit?
04:43You know, I, uh...
04:46I found a trafficked girl.
04:51Alone in a cupboard.
04:57And she was so calm about it.
05:05I understood her.
05:10As a girl.
05:15As an adult.
05:26I had a team-mate complain about me.
05:28They think I'm being reckless.
05:29And are you?
05:30No.
05:32I get the job done.
05:34I've got a big case on at the moment.
05:36I've just moved house and I've been training and...
05:38What about rest time?
05:40When do you stop?
05:49After what happened with Martin and Tony and then the suspension.
05:58I didn't leave my house for a week.
06:07There's some days I didn't feel like I could get out of bed.
06:15I felt...
06:19Paralysed.
06:25I can't ever go back there.
06:29Is it why you also keep your relationships with men casual?
06:38It keeps me in control.
06:41And you feel like you can achieve this only by keeping everyone at a distance.
06:47That sounds like a pretty lonely way to live.
06:52Can I ask you something, Rashida?
06:56That little girl you found, what did you say to her?
07:08I told her she needn't be scared.
07:15Because she's not alone.
07:25Do you have somewhere to be?
07:28Sorry, yeah.
07:30I need to get back.
07:33Nick and Kerry's first thing.
07:35One of Uncle Judy's.
07:39Nick's away and Kerry's working all hours to get this detective superintendent job.
07:45Kerry's going for detective superintendent?
07:48Apparently there's all these quotas but...
07:52No doubt she'll get it.
07:54She has a habit of making things work for her.
07:58I thought you two got on.
08:01What can I do?
08:10Rashida, it's Heroica again.
08:12If police conduct are involved, your job really is on the line.
08:16This isn't your fault.
08:17They're pinning this on you.
08:21Miss Dewan, this is D.I. Wright.
08:23Oh, it's Amara, please.
08:25We've just been discussing initiatives to deal with the rising gun crime.
08:28Changes start at ground level, right?
08:30Yeah, I mean, more staff would be good.
08:32It's kind of essential to solving cases.
08:34Yes, we've discussed the lack of resources, D.I. Wright.
08:36I absolutely hear your concerns.
08:38I, too, am a Brummie through and through.
08:40I'm from Leicester.
08:41Oh, I've got family in Leicester.
08:44Look, in light of the current situation, if I'm fortunate enough to become mayor,
08:48I promise to continue to work tirelessly to secure funding for the police
08:52and all the invaluable work that you do to keep us all safe.
08:55That's great news.
08:57You need a new kettle, ours is knackered.
08:59Now if you'll excuse me.
09:08That's a lovely bracelet, Sajna.
09:17Did you make it?
09:23Yellow is my favourite colour.
09:28Can I ask you about the place you've been staying?
09:39Did anyone come to visit while you were there?
09:50Sajna, can we point any points to the police?
09:57What do you recognise?
10:16Thank you, Sajna.
10:19Can you tell me about this man?
10:22He came to the door.
10:24She said he came to the door.
10:29What about this lady?
10:41Yes, yes, who's that?
10:43He's not here.
10:44What about this lady?
10:52Okay, so Sajna has identified Priya Machani and Frank Chapman.
10:59What else have we got?
11:01I've managed to get hold of records to show the fake passport for Sajna
11:05was logged on Saturday 12th March this year
11:07and that she was brought over on a tourist visa.
11:09So it was intended to be temporary.
11:11Why, what purpose?
11:13I've been trying to get hold of more information from the NCA
11:15but so far they've been unresponsive.
11:17I wouldn't bother.
11:19They'll fob you off, tell you it isn't ours.
11:22Even though Sajna is their investigation now
11:24we still have legitimate reasons to be kept abreast of what's been going on
11:27especially if it has tangible links to our triple murder investigation.
11:31I'm afraid we're just going to have to be a pain in the hole for them
11:34until they give us what we need.
11:36Attorney's test results are back.
11:38And?
11:40She's not Ragh Machani's daughter.
11:44Sajna identified Frank Chapman and Priya Machani
11:47as people in Dawn's flat.
11:52Rav said Frank wanted to go into business with him.
11:57What does that mean?
11:59If Sajna's telling the truth
12:01then Dawn never disclosed the fact she'd met Chapman
12:04let alone him being at her flat.
12:06We need to speak to Dawn again and to Priya Machani.
12:08They've both been lying.
12:10Search their properties again.
12:12We need to bring them in.
12:14We need to bring them in.
12:17Let's see who cracks first.
12:19We need to talk to you about Frank Chapman.
12:45I've told you before I don't know anything about him.
12:48We know he came to your flat.
12:50So why'd you lie to us?
12:54Dawn, you've been rehoused for your own protection
12:56and you've cooperated with us until now
12:58so unless you want to get re-arrested
13:00I suggest you continue to do so.
13:02Why was he at your flat, Dawn?
13:08Dawn Hughes, I'm arresting you.
13:10He wanted a photo.
13:11What kind of photo?
13:15Of the kid.
13:18How do you know Priya?
13:20She's Rav's sister.
13:21Why did Frank Chapman want a photo of the child?
13:23I don't know.
13:24Oh, come on, Dawn.
13:25Honest. He never said.
13:26He gave me a phone and told me to take a photo while he waited.
13:30Did he give you any other instructions about the photo?
13:35It weren't anything dodge-like.
13:36He just wanted a photo of her.
13:42It was Frank Chapman.
13:43I had to.
13:45Did you tell Rav and Priya about it?
13:55So we know that Sajna, the girl in the photo, isn't Rav's daughter.
13:58But he seems to be protective of her regarding Frank Chapman
14:01and she also knows you.
14:04Why?
14:05What is your connection with this child, Priya?
14:10What is Dawn's involvement in all this?
14:13Who?
14:15For what purpose was this little girl brought into the country, Priya?
14:22I'll put it to you that this vulnerable child, this orphan,
14:26was brought over from India to be exploited.
14:30Most likely for domestic servitude.
14:33Or worse.
14:37Were you and your brother involved in trafficking this child?
14:42Because we know you were contacting him.
14:44We found your burner phone when we searched your house, Priya.
14:55No comment.
15:00Priya Machani is refusing to cooperate about anything connected to Sajna.
15:04We've arrested her for assisting an offender
15:06and it's likely she'll be bailed until her court appearance.
15:09Charlene, what about her burner?
15:10Communication with Rav started the morning he planned to leave the country
15:13but Priya's burner's been active for a number of weeks.
15:16We're still analysing the data.
15:18Mum, I've been looking into the Chapmans' business contracts.
15:20Go on.
15:21For the past three years, they've had a contract for council tax bailiff work.
15:25A very lucrative one.
15:27How much are we talking?
15:28Three mil minimum.
15:30After the three years was up,
15:31there was the option to extend by another two years.
15:33Okay.
15:34And it was prevented.
15:35So this is a sudden, unexplained,
15:37and very last-minute change of tone.
15:39Do we know what led to it?
15:40He's doing some digging for me.
15:42That's great work.
15:43Kwasi, keep us updated.
15:44Mum,
15:45response have reported several public order offences in the last few hours.
15:50Businesses have been graffitied with Justice for Megan.
15:53They're all owned by South Asians.
15:55Okay, I'll talk to the DCI about upping our street presence.
15:57We need more movement in every aspect of this investigation.
16:01So let's fast-track the ballistic report.
16:03This will keep getting worse until we find out what's going on.
16:06This will keep getting worse until we prove that Rav Machani is innocent.
16:09All right, everyone, let's get back to work.
16:13There's no excuse for the kind of violence we've been seeing over the past few days.
16:17It's understandable the public feel unsafe and unprotected.
16:27But, as your councillor,
16:29I'm making it my priority to ensure that we get to the bottom of these issues,
16:33to put pressure on West Central Police,
16:35and to make sure that if Mr Machani is found guilty,
16:38then he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
16:41so that the public feel safe.
16:46As you can see,
16:48all the bullets are a match.
16:52So the same gun fired the bullets that killed
16:55Megan Parks, Frank Chapman and Dave Chapman?
16:58So Rav Machani was the shooter of all three?
17:01Right. Let's speak to the complex case prosecutor at the CPS
17:05and explain what we have to charge Ravinder Machani with the murders
17:08as soon as he wakes up. Also, the friend...
17:10Shiv, Mum.
17:11Let's ask for authority to charge him with assisting an offender.
17:14He'll most likely be bailed, but...
17:16The other gun, the one that fired the first bullet
17:18that wounded Frank Chapman in his home,
17:20you said it was practically vintage in the gun world.
17:22Correct, Mum.
17:23So where is it?
17:24D.I.R.A., what is your preoccupation with this?
17:26Well, there's a missing firearm, Mum.
17:27It's one of many.
17:28If we paused every investigation to go play hide-and-seek for weapons,
17:31we wouldn't get anything done. We have to focus here.
17:34What we know is that Rav Machani shot and killed all three victims.
17:37But did he, though?
17:39His prints may be all over the gun,
17:41but currently we have no evidence to place him
17:43at the scene of the shootings of Frank and Megan.
17:45Maybe Rav was working with an accomplice who shot Frank at his home.
17:48Yeah, if Rav was kidnapped with a gun on him,
17:50this Dexie bloke would have searched and got it off him
17:52before he got to Dave, surely.
17:54Unless the gun belonged to one of Chapman's heavies.
17:56I have got not only the chief superintendent on my case
17:59regarding this ongoing IOPC investigation,
18:01but also, thanks to the negative press attention this is getting,
18:04I've now got the DCC interested.
18:05Rav admitted to killing Dave Chapman in self-defence,
18:07but he was adamant he hadn't killed Frank or Megan.
18:10So the fact that there's another gun out there that's yet to be recovered
18:13means that there's another potential killer out there on the loose.
18:20I want officers out there searching for this vintage firearm.
18:24We're missing something. I know it.
19:25I'm at the house.
19:27The gun's not here.
19:55DOORBELL RINGS
20:17What did you find out?
20:19No sign of the gun. One of the lads from the Sally Oak shop.
20:22Said he was driving your dad across town a few days before the hit.
20:26He was on the phone, arranging a meet.
20:28With Machani.
20:30What else?
20:32He was after putting me on to tailing someone.
20:36Who?
20:37Someone he was in business with.
20:39A woman.
20:41Remember her name?
20:42I never found out.
20:44Changed his mind.
20:46Said he was going to take care of it himself.
20:48So, what next, boss?
21:03How's he doing?
21:04No change, I'm afraid.
21:18Hi, it's Ethan. Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

23:43I made some chai.
23:44Thank you.
23:45Why didn't you call ahead and tell me you were coming?
23:47I keep trying, you just never get back to me.
23:50Anyway, I'm glad I did come.
23:53You're living out of boxes, sweetheart.
23:56And your fridge.
23:58I had to go to the supermarket.
24:00But you can't make a meal out of bagels and energy drinks
24:04and half a block of mouldy edam.
24:06And ready meals?
24:08You're a professional woman, Rachita.
24:10This is no way to live.
24:12No-one even comes around here.
24:14Oh, just as well.
24:15And I'm not obsessed about what people think about me.
24:20What's that supposed to mean?
24:21Oh, come on, Mum.
24:22You've spent so long presenting this facade to the world
24:24that you don't even know who you are anymore.
24:27Well, I'm definitely not ready meals and mouldy edam.
24:34Just sit.
24:44You can't hide in your work, you know.
24:46Life isn't all about work.
24:49Yours was.
24:50That's not true.
24:51Oh, come on, Mum.
24:52You left me in the room the size of a closet
24:54when you were giving lectures.
24:55I was eight years old.
24:57Only during the school holidays.
25:00And we never went on holiday.
25:04I had to work harder than everyone else
25:07to get to the same place as people who were less qualified than me.
25:12You think it still isn't like that?
25:15I'm being blamed for the shooting of a suspect.
25:21Plaid?
25:24A bun's fine.
25:26I'll do a plaid.
25:35You know, I'm, uh...
25:38gathering evidence to build a case against the force.
25:46Mum?
25:47Hmm?
25:51You don't think I should?
25:55So many times in my life I wanted to speak up.
25:58To fight.
26:00But you know what?
26:02I had to put food on the table.
26:04Make sure we had a roof over our heads.
26:07So I kept my head down.
26:09And got on with it.
26:11I think you should think very carefully
26:13about rocking that boat.
26:16Institutions are powerful.
26:19But you're just one woman.
26:25I made that trouble.
26:26Come.
26:27Eat.
26:33Quest.
26:35You've been looking at the Machani and Chapman businesses, right?
26:38Yeah.
26:39This has come up.
26:40I was looking at some of the Machani's dealings and I found it.
26:43It's a company they recently set up and...
26:46Have a look.
26:50Er...
26:51It's to operate as a bailiff company.
26:56Hang about.
26:59Virtue Secure.
27:01That's the name of the company that applied for the council bailiff contract.
27:05The one the Chapmans had?
27:06Hmm.
27:07The contract went out to tender.
27:09The deadline's still upcoming, but this company, the Machani's,
27:12have submitted their application for the first stage of the bidding process.
27:16So, do you reckon that's why Frank Chapman and Rav Machani were in communication?
27:20Blackmail?
27:21It's got to be.
27:22There's that much money involved.
27:25Plus, loan shark contract means they can prey on vulnerable people.
27:28Offer them loans to get out of their debt.
27:30It's the perfect way to drum up more loan sharking business.
27:33So, who did the Machani's have a hold over at the council
27:35to make him strong enough to rival the Chapmans?
27:40Thanks for the tea, Lisa.
27:41That's all right.
27:43Erm, I was wondering if we could chat about Lou.
27:48I heard he got early release.
27:51He's been back in the snooker hall every night.
27:54But he's not been in touch.
27:58Not even a text.
28:00I take it you're not on good terms, then?
28:04It's Joyce.
28:06Not mine.
28:08Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
28:12Lisa, are you aware that Lou's planning to leave the country?
28:16Why would he do that?
28:18Frank's dead, so who's he running from?
28:22You know he'd end up straight back inside.
28:26He thinks it's his fault.
28:28What is?
28:33I...
28:35I'm sorry.
28:37I have to get to work.
28:40Morning.
28:42Morning.
28:46Any luck with your search for the firearm?
28:48Nothing's been found yet, ma'am.
28:50How was your evening?
28:52Oh, just alone, watching telly.
28:57Ma'am, I've got an update regarding Priya Machani's burner.
29:01I've identified a number that Priya's been in regular communication with
29:05over the past few weeks.
29:07Whose is it?
29:09Seems to be another burner, ma'am. It's not registered anyway.
29:12However, from cell site data analysis,
29:14we can narrow down the location of its use to a few streets.
29:17Can we find out if there's any known criminals
29:19or any connections to the Machanis that live in those streets?
29:22Yeah, we could try, ma'am.
29:24It's quite a posh area, not your usual criminal hideout.
29:27Ma'am?
29:29I'll check back in with you later.
29:32Another thing, ma'am.
29:34I'm not sure if it's significant.
29:36This unknown burner...
29:40Go on.
29:42It's also been long near the police station.
29:47This one?
29:51Do you think...
29:52A corrupt officer?
29:54I don't think so, ma'am.
29:57Do you think...
29:58A corrupt officer?
30:02Can you keep this between us, DC Alice?
30:04I need more information before we discuss it with the rest of the team.
30:07Mm.
30:26PHONE RINGS
30:42Which department do you require?
30:44Can you connect me to Force Intelligence, please?
30:46Could you please state your name, rank and constabulary?
30:49My name is D.I. Ray, I'm from West Central Homicide.
30:51I'd like to submit an application to intercept a phone number.
30:55I believe there's a corrupt police officer contacting a suspect.
30:58It's a priority application.
31:00Emergency application confirmed.
31:02And a liaison officer will be in touch directly.
31:04Please hold.
31:24HEARTBEAT THUMPS
31:47Yeah, he should be here in the next 15.
31:51Do you want to tell me what's going on with you?
31:58How do you mean?
32:02Sleeping in your car.
32:04Wearing the same clothes to work.
32:06HE SIGHS
32:17Me and Sam had an argument and she kicked me out.
32:24Well, I'm not going to lie, it is a bit shit.
32:28I'm sure once you've both had a bit of time to cool off, it'll be fine.
32:33It's been a couple of weeks now.
32:37HE SIGHS
32:39You can keep on my sofa.
32:43Thanks.
32:47You and, um, Beardsmore...
32:56Yeah, he should be here now.
33:03That's him, right?
33:05Yeah, that's him.
33:07Lou Kirby.
33:19Lou Kirby?
33:23My name is D.I. Ray and you know D.S. Bottomley.
33:27I don't deal with slobs.
33:29I'm afraid you're going to have to.
33:31We know you're planning on leaving the country and so does your probation officer.
33:35Where were you on Sunday, March 20th between 10pm and 11.30pm?
33:38What is this? Just answer the question, Lou.
33:40I was in the pub.
33:42Which one?
33:44The Whitehorse, Digbeth.
33:46Can anyone verify that?
33:49I was sat at the bar from 6pm till close.
33:53Why did you show up at Frank Chapman's funeral
33:56when you hate him as much as everyone says you do?
33:59I wanted to make sure the sick fuck was properly dead.
34:03Shame his toxic bitch isn't.
34:07Who are you on about?
34:09His bit on the side.
34:11So I've given you my alibi.
34:13Now if you want anything else, you're going to have to bring me in.
34:20I need you to look into any women that dated Frank Chapman.
34:23Go through social media, Google local news stories, see if anyone comes up.
34:27I'll get on to it, Mum.
34:29OK, thanks.
34:33For a man of Frank's years and reputation,
34:35it seems strange that no exes have raised their heads till now.
34:38Well, that's why we need to keep all eyes on Lou.
34:40Whoever this toxic bitch is means she's significant enough
34:43for him to hate her as much as he hates Frank,
34:45which means she could be in danger.
34:53Dal and rice?
34:55Oh, bloody love dal.
34:57I just need to boil up some rice.
35:00Honestly, I can't thank you enough for this.
35:02I've really been missing Sam's cooking.
35:05You know, I actually haven't seen a photo of her.
35:07Are you sure she's a real-life woman?
35:14Here you go.
35:19That's my Samina.
35:30Clive, can I ask you a question?
35:34Was it you who told Beardsmore that I went in alone to see Martin?
35:38What?
35:40No way, Ritita. Of course I didn't.
35:42I would never do that.
35:44What about after the kidnap?
35:46No, we haven't discussed you at all.
35:48But you have been discussing something.
35:50No, that's not what I meant.
35:53What's this about?
35:55It's just, I saw you in the car park having this conversation.
35:58It just looked... intense.
36:00No, it was just a bit of banter.
36:03Is there anything I can do to help?
36:06No. Why don't you have a shower while the rice is cooking?
36:09There's some spare towels in the cupboard in the bathroom.
36:11All right, great. Dal.
36:14I'll need a bit of shower gel.
36:16Yeah, sure.
36:43I'll be right back.
37:43I wonder if she kicked you out.
38:14SIGHS
38:30Something going on between you and Kerry?
38:34What?
38:36I saw you arguing with her the other night.
38:38It looked intense.
38:40Are you having a relationship with her?
38:44No.
38:48Not anymore.
38:50Oh, so you were using me to get to her?
38:52No.
38:54I don't have time for anyone else's bullshit.
38:56She's her.

40:07There are photos of Frank at a children's cancer charity event,
40:10along with his late wife, Yvette, from about ten years ago,
40:12but since she died, he seems to have gone solo and following up other leads.
40:15So if he was seeing other people, he would have kept it private?
40:18He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would care about
40:20what people think of him and who he was seeing.
40:23Do you think this toxic bitch is an ex
40:25who could be involved in his murder?
40:29I didn't realise... You're late.
40:32Mum, someone to see you.
40:34Hi, there. Is this about re-interviewing Sajna?
40:37Sort of.
40:38Are you able to bring up the footage of Sajna's first interview?
40:41Yeah, of course.
40:42Something's been playing on my mind.
40:44Skip to just before the end.
40:55All right.
41:00There, look, see there?
41:01She started holding her stomach and chattering in Punjabi.
41:04Only the interpreter was already out of the room.
41:07It's been bothering me, so I went back and watched
41:10and then I asked the interpreter to translate.
41:13Apparently, the child was saying that she's sick.
41:16That's why she's here.
41:17Did she say anything else? No, that was it.
41:20You've seen the interview and my report, though.
41:23Seems perfectly fine to me.
41:26Is it possible that someone else told her to say that?
41:29That's what I was wondering.
41:31OK, let's request consent for more medical tests.
41:35Sorry, I've just got to get this.
41:38D.I. Ray?
41:40D.I. Ray, my name's D.S. Owen Brooks.
41:42I'm your liaison officer here at the NCA.
41:44I believe you requested a phone number to be intercepted.
41:47We've got some recordings for you.
41:50I have to remind you that phone interception
41:53is highly sensitive and highly confidential.
41:56Therefore, the material cannot be disclosed to your team

42:42Mrs Chatterjee?
42:45She couldn't make it.
42:47Sorry, and you are?

42:51What do you want?
42:54Frank Chapman is dead.

43:02Did you say anything to the police?
43:04You need to keep your mouth shut.
