01x06 - Episode 6

Post by bunniefuu »

How long have we got left, hmm?

If we don't embrace change,

then we will always lose.

The past, Soph,

it never goes away.

Every decision we make

has to be answered for.

PAWA: I intend to surrender

on one non-negotiable condition.

DCI Harry Virdee.

SAIMA: You're really going to walk

back into the hands of the man

who put you in here

in the first place?

Please, my son's life is at risk.

Saima!

Riaz!

GUNSHO

You make that move,

everything changes.

RIAZ: I told you before, Harry,

there can only be one

king in this city.

This is only the beginning for you.

GUNSHO

MOBILE CHIMES

ENGINE REVS

DCI Virdee, we meet again.

It's Saima's.

I have Saima in my possession.

And if you tell anyone

I have her, she dies.

Now, Harry, we'll see just how

far you'll go to save her life.

MUTED CONVERSATION

Right, boys. Let's count them.

Christoph, good to do business.

I'll never let you down.

Right, lads, let's go. Come on.

We're going to control the

entire north with this shipment.

SOPHIE: We'll be unstoppable.

Is there a problem?

The count's short.

Well, maybe one of your

men made a mistake.

It's not us.

Christoph, you're short.

Short would be a couple of bags.

You're four crates short.

That's 1,000 kee's.

We weren't short at the airport.

You did something!

Armed police! Stay where you are!

Put your weapons down! Now!

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

Do not move.

Put your weapons down!

HARRY: You're all under arrest.

Keep your hands where

I can see them. Do not move.

SIRENS APPROACH

On the van.

Put your hands on your head!

Put your hands on your head

and interlock your fingers.

I'm arresting you, for possession

with intent to supply Class-A drugs.

Cuffs.

Hands on your head!

Turn around.

Walk backwards to me.

QUIETLY: Keep it together.

Nearly done.

Come on.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

LINE RINGS

Come on, come on, come on

VOICEMAIL: Hi, this is Saima.

Leave me a message

BEEP

f*ck.

Amazing work, Harry.

I can't believe

he actually surrendered.

HARRY CHUCKLES

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Boss Yeah?

I need to tell you something

Yeah?

Just

Great work, too, yeah.

It's over, Harry.

We've got him.

Right, let's get

this area opened up!

Great work, lads.

DC Summerhayes, are you

still parked outside my house?

Is Saima at home?

Her car there?

When'd you last see her?

This morning?

No, no, just checking in.

Yeah, operation in City Park

was a success.

Alastair Boardman's safe.

OK. Thanks.

What is it?

Uniform officer on our payroll

has just confirmed it's Pawa.

He surrendered.

No casualties.

He's here for me.

For us.

You know what we did.

So does he.

He's in cuffs.

He's engineered this.

You know as well as I do,

if Jai's in a cell,

it's because that's exactly

where he wants to be.

Why?

I suffered for years in an

Indian prison because of you.

And all the while, you were

using your partnership

with Riaz to control Bradford.

£100 million of my heroin

arrived at the airport.

Riaz oversaw the transfer.

You only seized 70 million

in your corrupt sting operation

because Riaz

..stole the rest

to float his own business.

No wonder I could

never buy your loyalty.

It was already bought.

What do you want?

Vengeance.

Where is Saima?

Do it!

We know you've done it before.

I didn't k*ll ya, because a

b*llet would have been too easy.

I want the name "Virdee"

to be forever tainted

with corruption and death,

and all that I've done

in Bradford this week.

So, what now?

There will be a

press conference soon,

where you will confess

everything publicly,

that you've been working with Riaz.

You will both be arrested,

convicted, and then

..sent to prison

..where I'll be waiting.

Because only then,

will the Real suffering begin.

That's why I surrendered.

Some deaths need to be slower.

Some deaths are worth savouring.

And Saima?

I'll trade her

..for the other person

who crossed me.

Betrayal is part

of this world, but

..not from the woman

I built it all for.

Sophie?

She disappeared

into witness protection.

The only place I can't find her.

But you can.

She helped you bring me down.

Bring Sophie to me.

She will die at my hands.

Or

..Saima dies.

MOBILE RINGS

CONWAY: Where are you?

Need to go and show

Saima I'm all right.

She's freaking out.

Boardman wants Pawa

transferred to Leeds,

hold him in one of their

counterterrorism cells.

I mean, we're not equipped to hold

a prisoner of his status here,

and we're not yet sure

if he was acting alone or had help.

Category A transit?

ARUs?

No, we discussed that.

We don't want to draw

unnecessary attention.

So, it will be a discreet,

covert assignment.

I'll escort him, then,

make sure it's done right. No.

Because we need you to head

up the press conference.

You brought this home, Harry,

and Boardman wants you

by his side. Just

..delay it until

we've made the transfer, boss.

Securing Pawa is our priority.

Can you do that for me, please?

I'll see what I can do.

Any news from

the witness protection unit?

Sophie Pawa has to be notified

her husband's in custody.

I need details of whoever's

in charge of her case.

Well, Amin's already requested that.

I'll chase it up.

Thanks, boss.

Come on!

Where's Riaz?

You were told to stay away.

Just do one, will ya?

Get off me!

Riaz!

What are you doing here?

Oi, come here!

Get back here!

What is it?

Hey, who do you think

you're pushing, eh?

Pawa's got Saima.

You! Enzo, leave him.

He's going to k*ll her.

Pawa knows you f*cked him over.

Stole some of his sh*t

to float your own enterprise.

He thinks I helped

you with that sh*t.

What's the plan?

I'm going to need all your crew.

It's a 20-minute transit

from HQ to Leeds.

That's your window.

It's the only way

we can pull this off.

So?

Can you do what Harry's asked?

On one condition.

We do this

..we put everything on the line

..you work for us.

No more negotiations.

That means that you and him,

you partner up.

Just like he's always wanted.

He says

..you do.

Man's got a point.

No turning back after this.

We do this together.

Fine.

Together, yeah?

Meet us at the warehouse.

What if I'm the only way

to get Saima back?

No.

What if it comes down

to that choice? It won't.

You should have told Harry about us.

I can help, Riaz. No.

Me and Harry'll sort this.

Hey

..me and Harry will sort this.

You don't know Jai Pawa like I do.

He's always one step

ahead of everyone.

Especially you and Harry.

CREAKING

SHE GRUNTS

I'm sending DS Amin with you.

I've been briefed, boss.

You're driving.

Keep us informed on the radio.

Stay sharp.

ENGINE STARTS

ARMITAGE: High-risk prisoner

onboard, over.

OVER RADIO: Control,

this is Sierra One. Roger that.

Prison van is leaving now.

Escorted by unmarked unit.

Right. Route is clear.

Moving towards Canal Road now.

sh*t! We're under attack!

Out now! On the floor!

On your knees, or I'll

blow your f*cking head off!

Put your nose to the floor.

Out of the car now.

Get out of the car.

Do it now!

Hands on your heads!

On your knees! Now!

Stay down!

Afternoon, ladies.

You, out!

Put him in my van.

GRUNTING

You're dead now.

GUNSHO

GROANS

Get in the van!

Stay down, handsome.

You all right?

Code zero, officer down.

By Pecker Street

on Burnett Street.

Virdee

HE GROANS

OK, OK

Easy, easy

Did it go through?

No.

You're lucky you wore your vest.

HE GASPS

Anything else on those vans?

Because the regs they gave

you are likely to be faked.

Nah.

We've got police checkpoints at all

motorway exits in a ten-mile radius

and orders to stop and

search any black vans.

WINCING

We need to get him down to A&E.

Could you go with him?

No! Khalil, you go

help with the search.

We need every officer

we have out there. I'm on it.

Boss.

Who knew we were transporting Pawa?

Careful who you trust.

It's done.

Pick me up at the hospital.

Ah, here he is.

The second parasite

who stole from me,

working with Harry.

He said anything?

He's been in one of the toughest

prisons in India for years.

It's going to take some time.

Harry

..you just k*lled Saima.

The deal's off.

I don't know if this

is going to work.

There's only so much

I can do before I k*ll him.

We might need to use Sophie.

Not many last this long.

VEHICLE APPROACHES

He's got to crack.

He's got to.

What the hell?

How is she here?

CLATTERING, GRUNTING

SHE PANTS

SQUEAKING

Come on, come on!

SHE GRUNTS AND WHIMPERS

Absolutely not.

You talking to Pawa

might only antagonise him.

Why?

Because he thinks I betrayed him?

He needs to believe I had no choice.

Listen, I'm going in there

and I'm floating the idea of me

and him leaving together.

It's what he's been

coveting for years.

It's the only way to get Saima back.

Why Sophie?

Why Saima?

We don't get to pick

and choose, do we?

If Pawa doesn't speak

If this comes down to a choice

between her and Saima, I What?

GRUNTING, GLASS SHATTERS

Leave us.

HE GROANS QUIETLY

How could you betray me?

They offered me a

deal and I took it.

Would you prefer I went to jail?

How did Harry get you here so fast?

They would have moved

you far from Bradford.

Riaz.

Hm.

How could I have not seen it?

I gave you everything.

Except your loyalty.

Do you think I didn't

know about the other women?

I only loved you.

Listen

I'm not here for you

to tell me where Saima is.

What the f*ck do I care about her?

In a choice between me and Saima

..there is no choice.

HE CHUCKLES

HE GRUNTS

SHE WHIMPERS

This all ends where it started.

Riaz!

Oh, my God! Sophie!

Sophie!

He stabbed her.

He's f*cking gone, Riaz!

What happened?

He attacked me with some glass.

I'm so sorry, Riaz.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Get the car. We need to

get her to the doctor. Now.

Did he say anything?

I need to find Saima.

He said, "This all ends

where it started."

I know where she is!

Pawa's old warehouse,

where we took him down.

You stay with Sophie,

I'm going for Saima.

SHE GROANS

HEAVY BREATHING

HEAVY SCRAPING

SHE HYPERVENTILATES

SHE GASPS

THUD

SHE WHIMPERS

This isn't about you,

it's about Harry.

Don't make me k*ll you, Saima.

He's on his way, Saima!

Come on! Come on!

What happens when we can't

trust the ones we love, Saima?

What happens when Harry

has to make a choice?

Saima?

I'm here to show you

who he really is!

CLATTERING

Saima

Saima

You're not going

to use it, are ya?

You're not like Harry.

He knows how to k*ll.

Saima!

Saima?

WHIMPERS: Harry

CLATTERING, GUNSHO

FAINT SOUNDS OF STRUGGLE

Let her go.

You don't get to win.

I've shot him, Harry! He's injured.

Shut up!

Drop your weapon

..or Saima dies!

I put it down, you'll k*ll us both.

He could have saved you

from all of this.

All he had to do

..was tell the world what

kind of man he really is.

Drop your weapon, Harry!

OK.

Justdon't hurt her.

Please.

You don't know who he is,

do you, Saima?

He runs drugs in Bradford

..with Riaz.

They locked me up, so they

could steal everything I had!

Even my Sophie!

And now, it's time to pay.

You engineered it so you

could control Bradford!

Parasite!

I don't control Bradford.

Riaz does.

Isn't that right, Riaz?

GUNSHO

SHE GRUNTS

Your time will come.

Nobody gets to win in this game.

This will never be

over for you, Harry.

Just like you said, Jai.

This ends where it started.

GUNSHO

I need to dispose of your g*ns.

Change into those.

When you're done,

go home.

Riaz.

You can't even look at me,

can you?

Drug dealers?

That's what you both are?

I am.

He's not.

Take your clothes off.

Put 'em in here.

Let me.

I don't know who you are any more.

I don't think I ever did.

Let me, please. No.

No. No!

No! OK.

How do I tell Saima?

Youput all this sh*t on me.

Whatever you need to make sh*t

right between the both of you.

OK.

Nothing about Paul King.

That stays between us.

Understood?

Understood.

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK

What are you thinking?

I'd say Pawa had

help to k*ll Vasil

..and that same help

..turned on him,

to close the loop.

Bradford's got a new

player in the game.

Right. Press conference,

keep details light.

We point everything that's happened

this week towards these two.

Drug w*r.

Revenge.

Boardman still wants

you at the press conference.

No, that's all you, boss.

I swung by the hospital yesterday,

wanted to check you were OK.

Yeah, er

All clear.

They said you

hadn't been checked in.

Perks of having Saima in charge.

Don't have to do the paperwork.

LINE RINGS

VOICEMAIL: Hi, this is Saima,

leave me a message.

BEEP

Saima, I need to see you.

Please call me.

I love you.

I got your message.

What would you like to talk about?

The UKCA believe that

what happened here

was more than just

organised crime groups.

Greater Yorkshire Police have

been compromised by these groups.

I need the right people

to get to the truth.

I want you to work for me.

NEWSREADER: It is three days

since the police discovered

the bodies of

former kingpin Jai Pawa

and the man who seemingly seized

control of his empire, Vasil Shala.

Social media continues to be rife

with conspiracy theories of

how Pawa was able to escape

from a maximum-security prison

in India,

and again from police

custody in Yorkshire.

One thing, though, seems certain -

the fight to remove organised

crime groups from Bradford

is far from over.

How's the pain? Getting any better?

It's all right,

as long as I take my pills.

So, what happens now?

Well, Vasil's gone.

Pawa's dealt with.

Hm.

So wefocus on us.

We'll be unstoppable.

SHE SIGHS

He's been standing there for ages.

Never seen him like this before.

UNTRANSLATED DIALOGUE

Beegee always said

she didn't recognise who you were

when I were growing up.

That being a grandad

proper softened you.

It must have, cos

..I've never seen you

how you were with

..Uncle Harry.

My father died when I were young.

I didn't know how to be a father.

Idid many things right.

And some wrong.

Then you came along. Hm.

And I had a chance to do better.

HE CHUCKLES

Exactly.

Look, Uncle Harry still loves you.

Look, I'm worried about you both.

You need to talk to each other.

INDISTINCT RAISED VOICES ECHO

I don't know how.

We can help.

You made me this way.

Then, in one second

..made me a stranger.

Good catch.

Daddy!

HE CHUCKLES

Hey, my boy!

I miss you.

Yeah?

When can we go home?

I'm bored at Grandad's now.

Soon.

Daddy's work's nearly done, yeah.

Oh!

You go play, little man.

I need to speak with Mummy.

Give us one.

Aaron?

Here y'are, Aaron.

Take the ball.

I miss you.

I miss Aaron.

He misses you, too.

I'm sorry.

I know.

I need you to tell me

the truth, Harry.

How long have you been

working with Riaz?

Years.

I were trying to get him to stop.

And what about Paul King?

What?

Tara said she saw you and Riaz

arguing

..at the shop

..about him.

Yeah.

We were.

I saw Riaz that day.

He told me what had happened.

He said he wanted to run

and I wouldn't let him.

I don't know. Maybe I should have.

I can't believe you've lied to me

all this time.

I'm

I'm going to fix this, Saima,

make it right.

I really want to believe you, Harry.
