01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Until the trial's done, I

need to keep you hidden.

Raj and I should

be the only ones

who know the witness's location.

Do you ever think

about disappearing?

You should be heading

home to your wife.

Raj: Firearms

incident in progress.

Three shot. Two

male, one female.

Brandice. How is he even here?

There'll be a good

reason. There has to be.

They have a daughter,

a 12-year-old,

who's under my protection.

- How's that gone so far?

- Who did this to him?

I am gonna find out. I promise.

Guy like Crowther,

be a miracle if he's not

managed to twist a few cops.

If there's any chance

you've slipped up here.

Liz: You ever heard

of an Amanda Kelman?

Sid: Cop who liked

busting other cops.

Might be helpful for

all of us to know

what DS Brandice had been up

to over the past few days.

Amanda: They still haven't

found the third phone.

You need to explain

'cause I am drowning.

Don't trust anyone.

[ Sombre music ]

Hey, thanks for riding

shotgun with me on this.

No problem.

Yeah, protected persons,

it's not like the Met.

Requires a bit more

Tact?

Yeah, I might need your

help on that front.

And I hear you're the best

in the business, ma'am.

Yeah, you're right. You do

need some help with that.

So why'd you leave the

bright lights of London

to join us mortals?

My wife wanted to be

closer to her parents

and it's time I put

family first, you know?

[ Tense music ]

Christ's sake, Jardine. It's,

what, 30 metres from the house?

Why wasn't this found before?

It's registered

to a hire company.

Ah, it's protected

person security protocol.

All our cars are registered

to cover companies.

Right. And your department

chose not to share that with us.

Given the amount of material

you requested, ma'am,

our people are doing their best.

I saw the crime scene report

and that you hadn't

found his car yet.

So you took it upon yourself

to chase that up at 11:00 p.m.?

Wheatley? Yes.

All right, thank you.

DS Brandice had

emergency surgery

and they're keeping him under.

It's touch and go, apparently.

I'm sorry. Officer: Ma'am!

Thank you.

[ Tense music ]

I wanna talk to you first

thing in the morning

before we interview

Amy McLennan.

- Will I need my fed rep?

- It's totally your decision,

but as far as I'm

concerned it's just a chat.

Okay, ma'am.

Do you need a constable

to accompany you

to your car or

No. I'm all right, ma'am.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

[ Tense music continues ]

We just found these in the car.

Amanda: Any explanation so far?

No, I'm gonna speak to them

first thing in the morning.

[ Car rumbling ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Brandice: Don't

trust

anyone.

[ Tense music continues ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Hello?

Hello?

[ Train rattling ]

[ Tense music ]

[ Door tapping ]

[ Tense music continues ]

Jimmy: Hi, mate. Come on in.

[ Tense music continues ]

[ Officers chattering ]

Boss, what's happening?

Our full cooperation with

DCI Wheatley's enquiry.

- Liz: But what

- Don't worry. At this stage,

it's only material related

to the Crowther trial.

That's one witness and

we're relocating him anyway.

I've been looking at the

door cam from the safe house.

It looks like Brandice

knew McLennan.

Jimmy welcomed him in.

So what does that say to you?

Is it possible he was on

an official task there?

If he was, it happened

behind my back

in breach of every

rule we operate under.

Yeah.

You're up.

Hey, are you okay?

DI Nyles, care to step through?

[ Ominous music ]

These were found hidden

in DS Brandice's car.

Have you ever seen them?

Never.

Care to give us your impression?

They appear to be

surveillance pictures

of the McLennan safe house

And of you.

They're timestamped,

which suggests that DS

Brandice was following you

for a period of at

least three weeks.

Doesn't your unit have protocols

to prevent that sort of thing?

We do.

I adhered to them.

Wheatley: And yet

he still managed

to follow you without

you realising.

He's one of us.

He knows our surveillance

techniques so

if he did take these photos

If he took them?

Liz: Well, that's

not been proven yet.

I'm told he spoke to you

last night at the hospital.

He did. He was obviously

in a lot of pain

and was finding it hard

to catch his breath, so

How close are you

to DS Brandice?

We work together.

What do you think of him?

He's a first-class

police officer.

Do you spend much time

together outside of work?

Went to the pub a couple of

times with other colleagues.

We've analysed the data from

Brandice's two mobile phones

and data from your device.

It seems he was at

an address owned

by your father at least twice.

So can you explain to us

what he might have

been doing there?

Positioning data's

accurate to a few metres?

Yeah, more or less.

[ Eerie music ]

My father's recovering

from a stroke,

so I've spent a lot of

time there preparing it

for him to move back in.

So based on these, I assume

Brandice followed me there.

Your unit's trying to ascertain

how the location of the

McLennan safe house was leaked.

But given this information,

wouldn't you agree

that the leak almost

certainly originated

from one of your own officers,

from DS Brandice, in fact?

- Not necessarily

- Wheatley: That he followed you

for an extended period in order

to locate your safe house?

Well, maybe, but that

doesn't make him the leak.

Right, you have an

alternative theory then?

This attack was clearly

ordered by Eddie Crowther.

So until you can

establish a link

between Brandice and Crowther,

it's all speculation,

unless you've had a

breakthrough I don't know about.

Did DS Brandice ever talk

to you about why he transferred

to your unit from Met MIT?

Family reasons.

I believe his wife wanted

to be near her parents.

Yet he turned down a

transfer to MIT up here

and specifically

requested a role

in protected persons instead.

Does that strike you as strange?

It's a move I've made myself.

The hours are more regular.

It's easier for kids.

So you describe him as

a dedicated family man?

Well, like I said, I

didn't know him that well.

Maybe you should talk

to people who did.

[ Eerie music continues ]

As you are aware,

my brief extends

to investigating corruption

on behalf of serving

police officers,

and that includes all aspects

of DS Brandice's activities,

as well as everyone

else in this unit.

I look forward to your findings.

[ Tense music ]

[ Liz retches ]

[ Tense music ]

Detective Inspector, to

what do I owe the pleasure?

Rick: You're aware of the

events at Hedwick Road?

Tragedy.

Before you two fell out,

you and Jimmy McLennan

were pretty close.

Very.

You got any idea who might've

wanted him dead then?

Aside from yourself, of course?

Detective Inspector,

you have no evidence

linking Mr. Crowther to

this appalling business.

And yet you are

clearly implying

It's all right, Jerry.

I'm happy to answer

his questions.

Your trial started

yesterday, Eddie.

McLennan was meant to be

a key witness against you.

But now, conveniently,

he's turned up dead.

But I don't have to

spell it out, do I?

I would never have

hurt Jimmy McLennan.

Man was like a brother to me.

Yet he alleged you masterminded

a massive heroin

importation pipeline.

See, that doesn't sound

very brotherly to me.

All I did was give him

a job as my accountant.

Why he took against

me, I don't know.

But you know we've been

over this a dozen times

already.

So unless you've

something new

See, I know you gave

the order, Eddie.

I've got a source

who can confirm it.

[ Eddie laughs ]

Oh, you're a bad liar, Bewley.

I'll get you eventually,

Eddie, we both know that.

Poor little Amy McLennan.

Is she safe?

She's none of your concern.

They'll give you life, you know?

Conspiracy to m*rder.

You know what, Jerry?

I think we are done.

DI Bewley, see

you back in court.

[ Tense music continues ]

b*stard's guilty as sin.

Tried to get a rise outta

me, sadistic little prick.

Right now, Wheatley's

investigation is premised

on the idea that Crowther

had Brandice in his pocket.

I'm not so sure.

But you'd like to

know either way?

Let me look into it.

There might be something

you can help me out with.

Soran Ahmadi, the only other

witness in the Crowther trial,

is now too scared to testify.

He's refusing all contact.

I need you to get to him, Liz.

Get in his head. Gee him up.

Well, he might be

protected by my unit,

but he's not one of my cases.

I can't even access his

files, let alone gee him up.

Crowther's barrister's

moving for a mistrial.

Without McLennan and Ahmadi,

the chances are Crowther'll

walk off scot free.

And then God knows where we are.

[ Tense music continues ]

[ Door taps ]

Hey, I got you some stuff.

There wasn't much choice.

That's a lovely picture.

Mum had heaps on her phone.

Oh, love, I'm sorry.

No, no phones. I know.

I need you to get dressed now.

The police officers

investigating

what happened to your mum and

dad, they need to speak to you.

I already said I

didn't see anything.

I know.

But they need to get it

all recorded properly,

and there might be some

things you've forgotten.

I'll be with you the whole time.

It's just a quick chat and

then we can come straight back.

This one's not too bad, right?

[ Ominous music ]

I'll come back

when you're ready.

[ Ominous music continues ]

[ Tablet beeps ]

[ Ominous music continues ]

[ Car roaring ]

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, Amy.

I'm Irene. I'll be

talking to you today,

and this is Alice who

will be looking after you.

Just through here.

Yeah. Can I just have a word?

Yeah.

Amy said she won't talk

without me present.

No, there's no need.

DS Kim's an expert.

But she's very fragile.

It's important that

Amy feels in control.

Unless you have a

strong objection.

Go in, but don't speak, okay?

Okay.

[ Door creaks ]

So you were in your room

and you heard crashing and

banging from downstairs.

And then what did you do?

Hid in the laundry basket

until Liz came.

So when you heard this

crashing and banging,

you didn't go downstairs

to see what was wrong?

[ Ominous music ]

Are you sure, Amy?

Amy, before you hid in the

basket, did you see anything?

I heard banging.

Something like g*nshots.

That's what scared me,

what made me wanna hide.

DI Kim: But you didn't

actually see anything?

Please ask her about Brandice.

Just one last thing.

There was another man at

your house who was also shot.

Do you think you

might have seen him?

[ Ominous music continues ]

Is it okay if I show

you a photo, Amy?

Is that all right?

Do you know this man?

No.

[ Ominous music continues ]

It might have been a while back

before you moved

to the safe house.

Perhaps you saw him at

Edward Crowther's house,

or somewhere else,

maybe with your dad.

No.

Can I go now?

[ Sombre music ]

[ Siren wails ]

There we go, darling.

Okay.

Do you think she

told us everything?

I think she's too scared to lie.

Okay.

Although sometimes fear

makes people lie even more.

[ Sombre music ]

[ Car whooshing ]

[ Motorcycle rumbles ]

It is hard talking

about things like that.

You did really well.

If you do remember

anything else,

you can still tell me.

[ Tense music ]

[ Motorcycle rumbling ]

I'm hungry.

Well, that's a good sign.

I'll get you something

as soon as we get

As soon as we get back home.

[ Tense music continues ]

[ Motorcycle roaring ]

[ Tyres squealing

] [ Horns honking ]

Is something wrong?

Nothing, love. You just

sit tight, all right?

[ Motorcycle roaring ]

[ Phone rings ]

Liz?

I'm in the car with Amy.

I'm state 0, IC 9.

So can you meet me at the

Glasbrook Shopping Centre now?

I've got location sharing on.

Call back up.

[ Tense music continues ]

[ Motorcycle roaring ]

[ Horn beeps ]

[ Tyres squealing ]

[ Motorcycle roaring ]

Amy, love, listen to me.

In a minute, I'm

gonna stop the car,

and when I do, I need

you to get out quick.

[ Motorcycle roaring ]

[ Tense music continues ]

[ Tense music continues ]

We need to get back to the car.

Everything's gonna

be okay, I promise.

See if you can get a high

score for me. Good girl.

[ Game beeping ]

[ Tense music continues ]

Raj?

Raj: What's going on?

Liz: It's okay.

It's okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

All good here.

No sign of IC 9.

Report back when

the area's secure.

[ Traffic whooshing ]

Okay, lovely.

Pop your seatbelt on. Good girl.

Yeah?

You drive in convoy,

not too obvious.

I know, Liz.

It's okay.

Are you okay?

You look after her,

and I'll meet you

there as soon as I can.

All right.

[ Tyres squealing ]

Amanda: Where's the girl now?

Raj's taken her back to

the secure accommodation.

- Amanda: Is that wise?

- The bike followed us

from where she was interviewed.

That's the location

that was leaked.

Not the current safe house.

And the interview

location was released to?

A short list of officers,

most of them major

crime department.

Wheatley's lot, not just

protected persons, ma'am.

Nyles, you know

Amy McLennan best.

Someone wants her dead,

yet she says she

didn't see anything.

Those two things don't

make sense, do they?

No, they don't, ma'am.

You did well today.

From what I'm told, that

girl owes you her life.

That's the job.

Still, we need to look

at a change of personnel

for her protection.

My department is

perfectly capable

Your department, DCI Kapoor,

is under investigation.

Until that investigation

is completed,

you stay in your box.

Ma'am, DS Kohli and I are the

only people Amy's got left.

She's been through enough

without being shipped off

to God knows where with

a bunch of strangers.

[ Tense music ]

Do you have AFOs?

Surveillance teams?

Right now, discretion

is her best protection.

I'll inform the ACC

that I'm satisfied the girl

can remain under the protection

of DI Nyles for now.

But I don't want anyone

else from your unit

having access to the

child. Understood?

Yes, ma'am.

[ Tense music continues ]

Seems as you have a fan.

We need to know

what she's planning.

Maybe you talk to her, get

a sense of where we stand.

If there is a

restructure that you

Arun, someone on that list

just served up a 12-year-old

girl to Eddie Crowther.

I'm more interested in stopping

that than I am saving our jobs.

Congratulations on

your purity, DI Nyles.

But as head of this unit,

I don't have that luxury!

[ Tense music continues ]

No, I'll call you back.

Ma'am, regarding DS Brandice,

I know the

investigation is focused

on him being the probable leak,

but given he was in a coma

when this latest

breach occurred

He's either innocent or

he has a co-conspirator.

Is there anyone in the unit

that had an excessively close

relationship with DS Brandice?

DCI Kapoor for example?

DCI Kapoor runs a highly

professional unit.

Your loyalty is laudable,

but don't let it blind you.

Right now, everyone

is under suspicion.

[ Tense music continues ]

Crowther plans his

jobs well in advance.

Dutch hitmen fly in

for a couple of hours

and then they're

back on a flight

before we know anything's

even gone down.

We chose the location

for Amy's interview

an hour before it happened.

So unless Crowther's got

somebody standing by

Well, he has to have used local

then, one of his own crew.

Well, if you can find him,

link him back to Crowther,

we can have him on

attempted m*rder.

I looked into the

Brandice-Crowther connection

- like you asked me.

- Did you find anything?

Nothing. Not a sniff.

But listen, Liz,

you've gotta talk

to Wheatley about this now.

The McLennan murders,

that's her case, not mine.

There was only us knew where

Amy was being interviewed,

my lot and Wheatley's team.

So you also think somebody

on Wheatley crew's bent?

I don't know.

Right now I'm not

ruling anything out.

How do you know

you can trust me?

Well, I need your help. So

I haven't got much choice.

How do I know can trust you?

Well, you probably shouldn't

but I know how much you

want Crowther sent down

and that's a passion

we both share.

All right, I'll give you

a few villains a shake,

see what drops out.

What about you?

Well, like my dad said, if

you start running outta leads,

maybe you missed something

right at the start.

[ Traffic whooshing ]

[ Ominous music ]

You should go in.

Yeah, I should.

No, no, no.

This has gotta stop.

Yeah, you're right.

She doesn't deserve this.

You want this to end,

you just have to say.

[ Ominous music continues ]

I don't want this to end.

[ Ominous music continues ]

[ Knocker taps ]

Hi Gemma, I'm DI Nyles.

We've met at the hospital.

The other one's already

been, DCI Wheatley.

They said they

think Paul's bent.

Do you believe that?

I don't know to believe.

Well, that's why I'm here

because I want to

find the truth, too.

You were in the army together?

12 years.

Paul was special forces.

[ Ominous music ]

I left when I was

pregnant with our eldest,

but Paul stayed on

for a couple of years

until he got a shell

fragment in his leg.

But I was glad, to be honest.

It forced him out

of active service.

Then he joined the

police, the Met,

and later transferred

to witness protection.

Said it would be safer.

Oh.

I had the impression

that was your idea

'cause you've got family nearby.

No, my family are in Yorkshire.

It was Paul that wanted to

move, him that pushed for it.

He said it meant

he'd be at home more,

get to see the girls grow up.

[ Melancholy music ]

What was he even doing there?

I'm not really sure.

I'm trying to make sense of it.

With Paul's job, I

was used to secrets.

At least I thought I was.

But he was always

honest with me.

[ Ominous music ]

[ Door thuds ]

[ Liz panting ]

[ Ominous music continues ]

[ Liz panting ]

[ Keys clanking ]

Not great here.

Just gonna order some

pizza, try and cheer her up.

Your brother, he works

in a phone shop, right?

Raj: Yeah.

Liz: Do you think he

could unlock this?

Well, I mean, the

techs can unlock it.

We can't risk flagging it.

Whose phone is it?

Brandice's.

But Wheatley's got his phones.

Liz: No, this is a dodgy one.

I found it in his car.

Then why the hell haven't

you given it to Wheatley?

Because one of her

lot may have leaked

- Amy's interview location.

- May have.

Well, if not them,

then who, Raj?

Because Brandice is in a coma.

So either we've got a second

leak or, I don't know what,

but until I do, I'm not

trusting anyone except you.

But we can't conceal

evidence, Liz.

Look, if Brandice

had an accomplice,

then their number

will be on here.

[ Ominous music ]

[ Ominous music continues ]

[ Door tapping ]

[ Door creaks ]

How are you doing, love?

How long am I staying here?

As long as you need.

Okay?

But

if I'm gonna keep you safe,

I need you to be honest with me.

So if there's anything

else you've not told me,

you could tell me now.

No one else needs to know.

I've already said

everything, okay?

Can you just leave me alone now?

[ Door creaks ]

You better tell me

what's going on here.

- It's all under control, Dad.

- What?

You think I've lost my marbles

and I don't notice anything?

When Raj came back, he

was white as a sheet.

The girl hasn't said a word.

There was an incident today.

What? An attempt on the girl?

Why is she involved in all this?

It must be important.

I don't know, Dad, all right?

I just don't know.

Well, well, you'd

better find out.

[ Ominous music ]

[ Liz scoffs ]

- Hey.

- Hi.

I'm guessing there's

more to this phone

than you're letting on.

Well, there's

nothing to tell yet,

but as soon as

I've got something,

you'll be the first to know.

This better be worth it, Liz.

[ Car rumbling ]

[ Phone beeping ]

[ Ominous music ]

[ Phone ringing ]

John: Hello?

Hello?

Oh, I'm a colleague

of Paul Brandice.

John: Is he okay?

No, he's in hospital

in intensive care.

John: Oh, my God. What happened?

He was shot, I'm afraid,

and your number has come

up on the phone we found.

So could you tell

me how you know him?

John: Well, I'm a friend.

We were in the army

together. John Gibson.

Okay.

John, have you got

time for a chat?

[ Birds shrieking,

tense music playing ]

- John?

- Ah.

I'm Detective

Inspector Liz Nyles.

- Pleasure.

- Thank you for meeting me.

Of course. Such awful news.

So do they know who did it?

We're just at the initial

stages of the investigation.

Uh-huh.

And are you leading it?

I'm just collecting background.

Had you spoken to Paul recently?

He called me a few times, yes.

Was that unusual?

It'd been a while since

I'd heard from him.

So I suppose I did wonder.

But you were close?

[ Birds shrieking ]

He saved my life more than once.

You still in that line of work?

Banking now.

Boring.

Did he tell you

what he was doing?

Not really, no.

It all sounded pretty

secret squirrel.

But we were both used to

that, you know, from the army.

Tell me, have you spoken

to his other friends?

There weren't many numbers

on one of the

phones we recovered.

But yours came up several times.

Oh.

Well, that's strange.

I knew it wasn't

his usual number,

but, you know, I just

thought he'd got a new phone.

Well, why do you think

he didn't call you

from his usual number?

The last time I spoke to

Paul, he didn't seem himself.

He said he was having

problems at home.

What kind of problems?

He said he'd developed

feelings for someone else,

not his wife.

He sounded messy, desperate.

[ Ominous music ]

You know, to tell you the truth,

I feel a bit guilty even

discussing this with you,

like a sort of

breach of confidence.

That'll stay

strictly confidential

within the investigation.

- I can promise you that.

- Look, I do have to go.

I've got an important

meeting back at work.

But look, you have

my number, so please,

if there's anything

more I can help with.

I'll be in touch.

Please. And do let me

know if he pulls through.

Okay.

[ Ominous music continues ]

Listen, I've gotta go.

I've gotta take this.

All right, bye.

Bewley.

Rick, I need you to

do an identity check

on a John Gibson,

ex-army. Probably SAS.

Listen, Liz, the judges

called a mistrial.

They're releasing Crowther,

effective immediately.

Under surveillance.

Rick: Only if we can

get a RIPA authority.

But I'm scrabbling here, Liz.

I'm gonna have to

call you back, okay?

Right, I'll text

you the details.

[ Ominous music ]

Boss, Eddie Crowther's

getting out.

The other witness in his

trial's Soran Ahmadi.

He's relocated, safe.

I don't even know any more.

Well, who's managing his file?

Better we keep that on

a need-to-know basis,

- don't you think?

- I think this investigation's

been barking up the wrong tree

because no one

can find any links

between Crowther and Brandice.

[ Phone ringing ]

Kapoor.

Okay, let 'em in.

Wheatley and Kelman

are in reception

with an arrest warrant.

[ Ominous music ]

Raj Kohli, I'm arresting

you on suspicion

- of conspiracy to m*rder.

- What?

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention

when questioned something

which you later

rely on in court.

I haven't done anything.

You can't do this.

Liz, tell them!

Hannah. Hannah, what

the hell's going on?

He has a messaging app

on his work computer.

It's encrypted, but it

was left open, unlocked.

And we found a

message there sent

to a burner account

sharing the location

of the McLennan safe house.

The app in question is

also on Kohli's phone.

It appears he sent the

message from his handset,

but the programme was

mirrored on his computer.

Are you saying he and Brandice

are both working for Crowther?

Look, it's one

explanation, Arun.

A word, please.

[ Ominous music continues ]

[ Gate clanks ]

What the hell is happening, Liz?

I don't know.

My wife is in hysterics.

And Aisha, well, she's

too young to understand,

but I just keep thinking,

what if this sticks?

It feels like a setup.

- Raj: Who?

- Well, whoever leaked

the interview location

covering their tracks.

Well, did you find

anything on the phone?

Nothing concrete.

I'm still chasing.

You know I didn't do this right?

Liz?

[ Sombre music ]

Yeah, of course.

I'm gonna get this

sorted, Raj. Trust me.

Sir, I need to move

my witness ASAP.

If there's a slightest chance

that Raj has been compromised

Is there?

Liz: Well, I don't know,

but I can't risk it.

Well, you'll have

to speak to Kelman.

Apparently she's vetting all

my operational decisions now.

- What?

- I told you, she needs scalps.

For your sake, I hope

she's had her fill.

Arun, I've got a really bad

feeling about this whole thing.

It's like we're

being railroaded.

You might be right, but

now it's outta my hands.

[ Ominous music ]

Jasmine: Why does she

have to stay here?

It's a work thing.

Your mum just had to

make a quick decision.

- Liz: Jasmine, what

- Why is there a girl in my room?

You're supposed to

be at your dad's.

Right, well, I

decided to come home.

I do live here, remember?

Mum!

Why aren't you listening to me?

[ Door taps ]

Amy, love. I'm sorry, but

I'm gonna have to move you

to a new location.

You promised.

I know. And I'm sorry.

But please, love, get your

stuff 'cause we need to go.

Jasmine: Has she been

sleeping in my bed?

Jasmine, please.

Mum, you put someone in my

room without even asking me.

It's an absolute joke.

Why aren't you listening?

[ Ominous music continues ]

Come, Arlo.

He's here.

Max, thank you.

Hi.

I missed you so much.

I told you this would go away.

[ Ominous music continues ]

Well, come on, lad,

you get in as well.

Your dad's home now.

Oh.

Sorry.

- I have to take this.

- Okay.

[ Ominous music continues ]

I'm glad you called.

Yeah, I agree.

Now that I'm out, we

need to resolve this.

Caller: Of course.

Eddie: Whatever it takes.

Okay, in you go.

Do you want me to

put that in the boot?

No? Okay.

Pop your seatbelt on.

[ Tablet chimes ]

Caller: Consider it done.
