Never. I met them a couple streets away.
She let me out the back.

Why do you feel that?

I didn't get your message.
I got Kieron's though.

What, it weren't them, no?

- Nah.
- [Dushane] A'ight.

- Who else knew?
- Girl that lived in the yard.

Weren't her either.

What, 'cause you say so, yeah?

Yeah.

- What about you?
- [Kieron] Nah, it wasn't me.

Are you sure about that?

What about Jaq?

She knew where the house was,
but she didn't know the food was there.

Then we're talkin' to Jaq, innit?

- She's still grievin' Lauryn, man.
- Bruv, do you think I give a f*ck?

She knew where it was.
We're gonna chat to Jaq now.

- Well, I'm goin' Jaq's, ain't I?
- Then I'm f*ckin' coming too.

Where'd you get to with Lizzie?

You need to forget about Lizzie.

Your client's got more serious problems.

MIT investigatin'
Jeffrey Daughton's m*rder

have your guy down as the prime suspect.

My client had nothin' to do with Daughton.

MIT ought to be lookin' at Lizzie.

Your client's DNA and prints
was all over the scene.

You let me know if you hear any more.

f*ck is she, man?

Jaq, I'm outside your house.

A'ight, Becks, listen, I'm gonna be

Have the baby ready. Get whatever
you need for a few days, all right?

Listen, I'm not f*ckin' about.
I need you to be ready.

Twenty minutes, yeah?

[chimes]

[kisses teeth]

[sighs]

Yo. That girl she's with.

You been to her house? Know where it is?

I'm not sure.

Bruv, you either know or you don't.

Last time I was there,
I was mad fried, so...

So you remember where it is?

If I saw it.

Brother, be f*ckin' specific, man.

I'd remember it if I saw it, innit.

Let's go there then.

f*ckin' losin' your memory or somethin'?

- You know what, Kieron? You call her.
- Me?

Yeah, you.

What should I say?

Just f*ckin' do it.

A'ight.

- I'll text her, innit.
- Call her.

Loudspeaker.

[line ringing]

[knocking]

[Becks] Yeah. Okay, sorry.

One second.

- Come off the phone.
- Hold on.

Becks, hang up the f*ckin' phone.

[Becks] Sorry, Sean.
Can I give you a call back in ?

Yeah.

Thanks.

- [sighs]
- Okay, sorry.

- Where's the stuff?
- What stuff?

I messaged you telling you
to get everything together.

Jaq, I've been on Zooms and work calls
all morning. What's wrong with you?

Yeah, we need to leave.

What are you talking about?

I'm gonna grab a few bits for the baby.
Please, just go and get...

What are you talking about?
What's going on?

Babe, just go!

- You're scaring me.
- Becks, I don't have time for this.

Please, just go and grab a few bits
for a few days. We need to leave now.

Now!

f*ck, man.

[exhales]

[tense ambient music playing]

When are you gonna tell me
what's going on?

Just get in the car, babe.

[engine starts]

Yo, come on, man.

- It's the gray one, innit.
- Well, go and knock the door.

[knocking]

Jaq!

Jaq!

It's Kieron!

[knocking]

[Sully] All right, man, all right.

What?

[sighs]

[Dushane] You two are bredrens, bruv.

What, all of a sudden
you don't know where she is?

[Kieron] She must've went out.
Her sister d*ed, innit?

[Dushane] So what?

When was the last time you saw her?

[Kieron] When we confronted Si.

[Sully] Oi, Kieron, give me your phone.

You don't believe me?

[sighs]

[Sully] Unlock it, then.

What's wrong?

- Nothin'.
- [Dushane] You sure?

- Go back to the f*ckin' ends, man.
- [Kieron] All right.

If she contacts you,

I need to know about it
the second it f*ckin' happens, Kieron.

- Yeah.
- This ain't no f*ckin' joke.

- [Kieron] All right. You gonna drop me?
- [engine starts]

[phone vibrating]

[buzz of voices]

[banging on door]

[Ralph] Not today, thanks.

I'm an enforcement agent, sir.

I've a court writ and a possession order.
You need to open the door now.

Shove your writ up your arse.

You tell him.

- That's right.
- That's it, you tell him. Yeah. Yeah.

Sir, if you do not open the door,
we have the right to force entry.

- Now, I don't have to do that.
- You can try all you like, son.

Knock yourself out.

- That's right.
- Let's try the next one.

[Mandy] How'd you sleep at night?

[exhales]

[agent] Mrs. Khatri?

I'm an enforcement agent. I've a writ
from the court and a possession order.

Prisha, you don't need to do
anything he's sayin'.

This is your home.
He's got no right to evict you.

If I was you, Mrs. Khatri,
I'd ignore this woman.

She's a troublemaker.
She's not gonna help ya.

Prisha, don't let him win.

We're tired, Mandy.

It's so much stress.

I can't do this anymore.

Sorry.

- [woman ] Don't do it.
- [woman ] Don't do it.

[agent] Come on then.

I done somethin' dumb.

[Becks] All right.

Whatever it is, we'll figure it out.

Nah, there ain't no goin' back
from this one.

I'm so sorry I got you involved.

[sighs heavily]

I got kilos in the boot.

I stole it from Sully and Dushane,
and they know that it was me.

And now they're after me.

And if they catch me, I'm dead.

Well, can you speak to them?

Explain...

With Lauryn and everything, you...

Nah, it don't work like that, babe.

Why did you steal it?

Lauryn d*ed 'cause of this sh*t!

This sh*t needs to stop now!

How long are we gonna have to hide for?

A week?

- Maybe a little...
- How long?

I do... I don't know.

[sighs]

What kinda life

is the baby gonna have on the run, Jaq?

Jaq.

It's gonna be all right. All right, babe?

[sighs]

I'm gonna talk to Sully.

[baby whimpers]

{an}[Stef] You should've seen the way
Sully come and badded up Si, man.

{an}Si sh*t himself on some shook ting.

{an}He ain't on the same smoke as Sully, man.

{an}[sighs]

{an}We was in the kitchen having dinner...

{an}and we hear a knock on the door,
and Jamie goes to get it.

Next thing, all I hear is bang.

Me and Aaron come runnin' out,

see Jamie on the floor,
and there's blood everywhere.

And then the brudda

sh**t Jamie in the head.

And he looks up at me.

I see who it is.

You okay?

[sighs]

I was watchin' TV

with my dad, and same.

There was a knock at the door.

My dad, he had his glasses on,
but he didn't have any shoes.

And he went to the door.

Then I heard him talking...

and heard this other man talking.

And I knew this voice.

It was Sully.

Then my dad said somethin' to me,
like... he'll be back in a minute.

And that was it.

I never saw him again.

I don't even think I said goodbye.

But then the Summerhouse lot

came round and said not to say anything
to anyone about Sully.

They tried to tell me and Aaron
the same thing.

He k*lled Jamie,
and I'm supposed to say nothin'?

I'm supposed to do nothin'?

I see Sully round the ends
with his daughter,

and I think, "Why does he get to live...

when he k*lled my brother,

and he k*lled your dad?"

See, that ain't right.

No, it's not.

Your guy found Lizzie, yeah?

This isn't about Lizzie. Come on.

My contact tells me
that MIT have got you down for Jeffrey.

- I weren't there. I told you that.
- Understood.

But somehow your prints and DNA
are showin' up at the scene.

Listen,

as your... lawyer,
and, I'd like to think, your friend,

my advice would be
now might be a good time

to consider gettin' out of the country.

Not under your own name, of course.
They'll be watchin' ports and airports.

You really think that's necessary?

Prints and DNA?
Yeah, unfortunately, very necessary.

I've got a Jamaican passport
in another name.

Good. You'll need that.

Although it could be a big risk
going through passport control,

with facial recognition
and the latest technology.

f*ck, man.

Have you heard of Isaac Latif?

- You know who I'm talkin' about?
- No.

Well, Latif will get you out.
It's what he does, and he's % reliable.

I can talk to him if you want.

It'll cost, of course.

How much?

Last person I sent his way cost

K.

- That's a lot of f*ckin' money.
- Gettin' out is expensive.

Stayin' out is also very expensive.
You're gonna need cash. Lots of it.

Do you want me to talk to him?

- Talk to him.
- He'll want the cash up front.

- How long's it gonna take to set up?
- I'll talk to him today.

Meanwhile, usual drill.

Burners only.
You stay away from home, friends, family,

and any places they associate with ya.

That passport,

it's back at my house.

- Police will be watchin' it.
- So why don't you go in there and get it?

That'll leave me open to conspiracy
to pervert the course of justice.

I'll be no use to you
from inside of a prison cell.

Is there anyone else you can ask?

- Yeah.
- Good.

A friend of a friend is a good idea,
if you know what I mean.

Someone you can trust, but not someone
the police have as a contact.

I'll find someone.

Listen, Dushane, on the subject
of filthy lucre, P's...

Bro, I know what you're gonna say.

Good. Obviously
you'll negotiate a fee with Isaac,

but if you remember,
I've lent you quite a tidy sum.

I'll round it down to K.
You can give it to Isaac when you see him.

- I'll give it to him.
- Good luck.

[sighs] f*ck's sake.

Gary, get a couple
of the guys on this, yeah? 'Scuse me.

'Scuse me, please. Out the way.

Thank you.

Out the way.

Too wicked, mate.
You don't have no heart. Evil.

Yeah, we're still havin' a bit of trouble
down here.

The crowd's gettin' bigger.
They started blockin' the stairwells.

- Well, I'll have to, won't I?
- [woman] Out the way!

Yeah, all right.

Doesn't cancel out

Got a passport in there as well.

Course not.

Just steal.

There's bare sh*t goin' on
in my head, Sully,

and... I can't make sense of none of it.

I lost my sister to this sh*t.

I know you understand
what I'm goin' through right now.

All right?
But I'm lookin' around, and nothin'...

nothin' is makin' sense to me.

Look, all I know is, I don't wanna be
doin' this sh*t no more.

Then don't.

The food is killin' us.
It's k*lled Lauryn.

- How many more of us need to...
- Shh.

Lauryn k*lled herself.

Don't blame me.

I'll bring you your food back.

Oh yeah, you will.

Look, all I'm asking for is a guarantee.

A pass.

Nah.

'Cause I don't trust you no more.

Cool?

Cool?

I know the next time I see you,
you're gonna decide whether I live or die.

All right? I know that.

But, Sully, I'm beggin' you,

please...

don't hurt my family.

Talk to Sully?

It was me.

I took the grub.

Look, bro, I know I done wrong.
All right? But I'm tryna make it right.

I'm givin' him his food back.
That's why I'm calling you.


Where?

I'm linin' it up now.

Well, it needs to be in Summerhouse,
and I need to be there.


A'ight.

And make sure it's all
the man's f*ckin' food. All of it.

- It's all there. I ain't touched nothin'.
- Better not have.

Just text me where on this phone.

Shouting the odds
and throwing your weight around!

- We don't want you here!
- Why are you here? Why are you here?

- Let's not be aggressive.
- No one wants you here.

I'm fully aware,
but that's what we have to do.

This is my home.

- [man ] You child k*ller!
- [man ] You m*rder*r!

f*ck off! f*ck off!

[clamoring]

- Move back!
- [Mandy] What are you doing?

- Take your hands off him!
- Stay still!

[Mandy] They're kids! Let him go!

[crowd clamoring]

[officer ] Stay back, please.

Please.

- Hold them back!
- [officer ] Come back here!

[officer ] Oi! Oi!

Come here! Come here!

[crowd cheering]
