Listen to me, please.

Please, I can prove it

No! No, I can prove it.

Please, Christian -

someone listen to me, please!

No, no, please!

I can prove it.

Davor, listen to me!

Please, no!

You have one new message.

I won't give up on you,

Christian.

I won't give up on you, Christian.

This person cannot

be reached at the moment.

Please leave a message

after the tone.

Should you even be here?

I'm still your mother.

Shouldn't you be at work?

Christian? I called in sick.

And are you?

I can't sleep.

It's playing in my head on a loop.

It's just there.

All the time.

I'll never be able to get

away from it.

You will.

You will, you will.

You've

You've just got to give it time.

I don't think I can handle it.

Well

You shouldn't have to.

All this, you're not to blame.

This is my f*ck-up, not yours.

I've

I've made so many mistakes.

With your dad,

with you.

Sean.

None of us ever really speaking

the truth to one another.

And I'm so f*cking sorry

because you're the one

that's paid the price.

But what was the alternative

to k*lling Stefan?

Your own death?

You are hard wired to survive,

and you did.

k*lling Stefan was

the right thing to do.

Now, I know that it's come

at a terrible cost.

But that cost will make you

a strong and a wise man.

You will get through this.

Where did you get this?

Sean gave it to me

when I was in prison.

He said it was to keep me safe.

You should take it.

No, no way.

That's got a bit of work to do yet.

It's time to decide.

Are you in or are you out?

What's the rush?

It has started.

The ship has set sail?

It left Antwerp a couple

of hours ago,

with a very special cargo on board.

So what do you need from us?

A simple answer.

Are we going to be friends and

make money together

..or enemies, tear each other apart?

I won't ask again.

We're in.

And let's drink to that.

Christian?

Bianca

Bianca, please, why won't

you answer my calls?

Leave me alone.

What? Leave me alone.

Why can't we just talk?

I don't want to speak with you.

You said you wouldn't give up on me.

Bianca Stay away from me,

Christian.

I know what you did.

This is getting tiresome.

For all of us.

Once again, for the record,

you have no evidence to

link my client to the weapon

that was recovered.

Except that it was

found in his garage.

Mr Kabashi is adamant you won't

find any of his DNA on the weapon.

You must know the game's up, Andri.

Or are you too dumb to realise it?

We know everything about you.

We know who you associate with,

who supplies you

and who you deal to.

We know where you keep your stash.

We know all about Leanne and the

part she plays in your operation.

Florian's very young to be

taken into care.

For the record,

did you sh**t Sean Hardacre?

Interview terminated, 11:45.

I'm nearly finished.

No rush.

That's weird.

What's that?

That woman.

Her?

Who is she?

Known associate of Stefan Vargic.

Who?

The guy found up in the woods.

Really? Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Why do you ask?

She came to the station last week.

Said she was worried about

her missing boyfriend.

We got her to do a partial ID.

Stefan Vargic?

She swore blind it wasn't him.

Bianca?

Yeah?

Fran Healy. Do you have a moment?

I'm sorry.

I just wanna talk.

I know it was you who helped us

to identify Stefan.

That must have taken a lot of nerve.

The fact that he's dead

it's just so surreal.

Why did you come forward?

I just want it to stop.

You want who to stop?

Your family?

Are you saying they k*lled

I'm not saying anything.

Do you know anything about

the m*rder of Sean Hardacre?

I have to go.

I can help you, Bianca.

But to make it stop

Christian?

Chrissy?

I brought you a curry so that

you don't need to cook.

Christian?

Christian, come on,

wake up, wake up.

Shh.

OK

Emergency. What service

do you require?

Ambulance, please.

What's the address?

It's 14B, Gloucester Court,

Stokes Croft.

What's the reason for your call?

Yes, it's my son. He's unconscious.

I-I think he's, ah

I think he's taken some pills

and, erm, alcohol.

I don't know what

and I don't know how much.

How old is he?

He's 24.

Is he breathing?

Yes, he's breathing.

I checked his airways

and he's breathing.

Please stay calm.

An ambulance is on its way.

Christian, come on

How is he?

Awake but very weak.

Has he said anything?

He claims it was an accident.

The doctors seem to believe him

but they offered him counselling

just in case.

Well, I'll give him

the benefit of the doubt.

He's alive, that's the main thing.

The ship's left port.

When will it dock?

Day after tomorrow,

assuming it's heading for Bristol,

although we can't be sure

of anything. Without Christian.

I was going to say

without further intelligence

but it amounts to the same thing.

I'd better get back to him.

OK.

You take care.

We never talk any more.

We talk all the time. Not properly.

Speak to me. What's wrong?

Are you thinking about Stefan?

You mustn't worry.

We heard from him last night.

He's doing fine.

And as for you

..well

..they're going to be queuing up

to date you, my beautiful baby girl.

Now

..be happy, duso.

We can't have you making everyone

miserable at my birthday party.

Krajina.

Come on!

Show yourselves!

You f*cking cowards!

Hardly seems worth putting back.

It's amazing how much they can put

away in these tiny little glasses.

What on earth are you doing?!

I've discharged myself.

You can't be serious?

I'm going to go and speak to

someone. You're wasting your time.

There's nothing they can do

to stop me.

Christian, can't you at least talk

to someone in there? And say what?

What am I going to tell them?

Just stop worrying about me.

I'm fine.

I have to get back. I'm not

going to let you. Mum, stop it!

I have to finish this.

Yes, I can assure you you won't need

to go to anyone else from now on.

OK, listen, erm,

we'll talk later, OK? Bye.

What happened?

They think I had a seizure.

What? It was a minor one.

I'm fine now.

Have you had it before?

So what brought it on?

They think it's stress related.

OK, listen, you're going to take

some time off. No, no way.

We have a place in Croatia

you can use.

We're almost done.

I want to be part of it.

Listen, there is nothing

for you to do here.

What about the consignment?

Zvonomir will meet it.

It's one man job.

Have you decided where?

Now, if I told you that,

I'd have to k*ll you.

This is who you contact.

Tell him I will play ball.

But only if I get a guarantee that

my family will be taken care of.

What kind of guarantee?

We're men of our words.

Just make the call to Davor.

So Christian won't be involved with

the exchange? No, we don't think so.

And we've no way of tracking

the sub?

Unfortunately, no.

Then we've no idea where the goods

will come ashore.

But we know roughly when. And we

do know who's going to meet them.

If we can track him, then he should

lead us to the drop off.

OK, so how do we do that?

We turn a blind eye and allow

Christian to use his initiative.

He's done all right so far.

Look, is this the moment

to brief Kane?

At best we get drowned in paperwork

and we're too slow.

At worst he shuts

the whole thing down.

And we lose our chance to tie

the whole thing together.

We'll need firearms clearance.

You have operational authority.

And back up.

You don't think we can handle this?

We've no idea what

we'll be up against.

What about looping in Fran? Marcus?

It's too risky.

There's someone I know.

I daren't ask.

It's better if you don't.

Was it footage of someone

being tortured?

I only saw it for a second.

Will you

copy it?

I don't know.

I can't help you

if you don't help me.

Thank you.

And you said you had some photos?

Yeah. Erm

Hold on. Erm

That's my brother Davor.

Erm, that's my mum.

Oh, you can ignore that one.

You know this woman?

Yeah, she's a mum of a friend.

She's not involved.

Will you send me those?

Yeah.

My client wishes to make

a statement for the record.

I want to confess.

To k*lling that cop.

Sean Hardacre?

I didn't ask his name.

Will you tell us what happened?

I knew he was keeping tabs on us.

Not you.

How did you know that?

I I don't remember.

Perhaps we might let Mr Kabashi

get to the end of his statement?

I fed him a tip off,

lured him to a remote spot.

Go on.

The plan was to rough him up.

Find out how much he knew.

And?

He escaped.

It was obvious he could identify me.

So I had to k*ll him.

And Michael Forrester?

Hm? The farmer.

Whatever you say.

There's evidence that

may link these murders

to the k*lling of Stefan Vargic.

Andri Kabashi has confessed

to Sean's m*rder.

What a crock of shite!

Is there any chance

he's telling the truth?

No. It's total bollocks.

But we don't have evidence

that connects the Mimicas

to Sean's m*rder.

You said it yourself.

Sean was investigating the Mimicas,

not Andri f*cking Kabashi!

We know they have links.

Maybe Sean had intel on Andri, too.

Kabashi is a total nobody.

He can't even wipe his backside

without someone's permission!

Well, we found a Russian Special

Forces revolver in his garage.

Oh, how convenient!

And he happens to have confessed.

Someone got to him!

Someone's got to whom?

A contact of mine, sir.

We were talking about

another investigation, Sir.

You got lucky.

You make your own luck, sir.

Not in this case.

I'm sorry you think that.

I want a full account

of every line of inquiry

your team's been following

on my desk by Friday.

Friday? And it better be good.

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

You look terrible.

They said at the hospital, you

I don't wanna talk about it.

Listen, erm, I'm afraid that

I've got some bad news.

Andri Kabashi confessed

to k*lling Sean.

Andri?

Yeah, they found the m*rder

weapon in his garage.

And you believe him?

Well, the top brass do,

and that's all that matters.

Wait, if Andri's being charged

He's dead.

A razor blade in his prison cell.

They got to him. Yeah.

So they won't get done

for k*lling Sean?

I could serve time for m*rder,

but they won't?

Christian,

Stefan was shot three times.

It's highly probable that

you didn't k*ll him.

We have to keep going.

I don't know what to do.

We catch them in the act.

How?

I still have one of

the trackers from the boat.

Mum?

What?

It's another plant.

I don't know what to do with it. Mm.

Mother of God.

Christian, can you help

Bianca, please?

On the terrace.

Take that down.

Davor told me to hang it here.

I'm 60, not 80. Take it down.

Ah, Mum, the cakes.

Ah, in the storage cupboard

in the basement.

Christian, we need more wine.

Follow me.

And bring that with you.

Keep up, Christian.

It's such a pity your mother

can't come.

Do we know any more about him?

They served together in Bosnia,

apparently.

But is he police?

Well done, you.

What else do we have?

That's a great piece of kit.

How are you feeling?

Thankful that we've finally got

a decent shot at nailing them.

Hm.

Zlatko, ah! Dubravka!

Come in.

Zivana! Dubravka. h*, h*, Bianca!

Come in, come in!

You have grown. Mm-hm.

You can't escape now.

I need to finish getting ready.

You look amazing.

Now

you go and get more drinks.

Organise them.

Enjoy.

Listen, ah, we're running low

on champagne.

You want me to fetch some more?

Yeah, get a case, and get

a bottle of Pelinkovac.

Ah, on the cupboard by the door.

We've got a signal.

When we first came here,

more than

Ah, God, 25 years ago,

we had nothing.

We'd lost our home, our business.

And we lost my father, Marco.

But you didn't come here

to mourn, Mama.

You came here to build

a better life for all of us.

And you've worked so hard

to achieve that ever since,

day and night.

It's so great that

we can share

Zivana, you found Mama

her first job,

cleaning at the surgery.

And, Zlatko, you lent her the money

to open our first restaurant.

The smallest pizzeria in Bristol!

We're here today thanks to

your hard work, Mama,

but also thanks to you,

our dear friends.

Hi.

Hi, sweetie.

Today is a very special day.

A toast to you, dearest Mama.

Zivjeli!

Zivjeli!

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, Dubravka!

Happy birthday to you. ♪

Where's Bianca?

I'm here, Mama. Ah!

Thank you. Thank you.

Looks like we're on.

They're on the move.

You ever fired one when it counts?

You'll be asking to see

my certificates next.

Just checking you're not gonna

sh**t me in the back.

Don't f*cking tempt me, Billy.

Anything else you want

He will look after you.

And do you know what

you're going to play today?

Everything all right?

Yeah.

He's still heading south-west.

How far ahead is he?

It's a couple of miles.

He's turning off.

Heading for the coast.

A name, we need name!

Give me name!

Who is mole? Come on, who is mole?

A name, we need name!

This is close enough.

Psst.

Sit.

You have to watch this.

Press play.

Christian!

My source is Christian.

Christian is my source.

Christian.
