The shooting of Ravinder Mochani

is a shocking event.

Police officers come to work to protect people,

so, when somebody loses a life, it is a truly terrible thing.

West Central Police are deeply saddened by the death

of Mr. Mochani.

An investigation is currently being carried out

by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

All my officers will be co-operating

with the investigation.

Prick. - However, I would like to

remind the public that when you carry a gun,

you put yourself and everyone else at risk.

Police officers in the moment

have to make a very difficult decision.

Yet another non-White person has lost their life

at the hands of the police. What do you say to that, Superintendent?

Is there still a race problem in the force?

Can I emphasise that Mr. Mochani was

and still is a triple murder suspect?

But I'll defer now to DI Ray,

who was present at the time of the shooting.

It was a complex situation,

and all the officers involved are regretful of the outcome.

Whether there are any other external factors

at play will be decided by the IOPC.

But we accept that all police forces,

including this one, need to take a good look at themselves,

and ask their staff questions and be prepared to listen

to some difficult answers.

A comprehensive forensic report is still pending,

but this is a magnified image

of the gun part found at Pawn Haven.

It's from a 9-millimetre Taurus handgun.

Ballistics have informed us it's a match

for the vintage firearm that was first used

to shoot Frank Chapman.

So, this is an inside job?

Jesus.

Ballistics suggest it was chopped up

using an angle grinder.

The rest of it could be in flippin' Turkey, Spain,

India, basically anywhere.

The Chapmans never leave a mess.

That's why they've never been done.

This was an accident. Someone was acting in a panic.

If Dave did shoot Frank, then that could mean

the second weapon was also Dave's.

But what it doesn't explain is what caused the delay

between the first gunshot and the second,

and nor does it explain why he did it.

My source reckons that Dave was hungry to take over.

Why would Dave Chapman hold onto the second firearm?

Why not just destroy it, like the first one?

Maybe Rav was telling the truth

about being set up.

Perhaps Dave wanted to use his prints on the gun

so he could frame him after he killed him.

These are all hypotheticals.

By the way, I will be in on the Amara Dhawan interview later.

No, wait, ma'am. Kwesi's joining me.

The superintendent has requested it.

Right.

We currently don't have all the facts

in place to charge her.

Liam's trying to track down the consultant

they had on board to operate on Jasmin.

We need to establish how deep

this organ harvesting operation goes.

I'll see you shortly, Ray.

Sounds like

Beardsmore's keeping an eye on you.

The gun part buys us a bit more time, but we still need

to name Frank and Megan's murderer,

before he's back on my... case.

You didn't have to come and get me.

We need to talk.

Charlene...

come and look at this.

By the way, I found this in my bathroom.

It's mostly corridors and entrances at Greenhills,

but look.

The first time Amara visited this week, she was alone,

and then 10 minutes later,

she looks furious.

On a mission, like.

Looks like there's a number on the door.

UG. Upper ground floor.

What's this?

CCTV footage from Greenhills, ma'am.

It shows Amara Dhawan meeting with a doctor.

OK, can you two get down there and find out who she's meeting?

Ma'am.

Do you wanna drive or shall I? And...

I need a coffee on the way.

What the..., Liam?

Charlene, can I ask you somethin'?

Of course.

Do you think DI Ray is a good boss?

Yeah. Yeah, I really do.

I mean, she has her ways, but...

How do you mean, like?

Just, we all handle stress differently.

There's no reason for Henderson and Beardsmore to be watching

her every move.

What?

Liam, what have you done?

Can I help?

Hi. I'm DC Payne from West Central.

This is my colleague DC Ellis.

We're making some enquiries.

Could you tell us which member of the medical team

was in consulting room UG13 on the 30th of March?

Um, just a sec.

It was Dr. Mark Stenbury, renal unit.

Is he at work today?

I'm afraid not. He's on compassionate leave.

Dr. Stenbury, my name's DC Payne

from West Central. Can you open the door, please?

The lights are on.

Can you hear that?

Yeah, I can.

Sajna, the little girl we found in Dawn's flat,

was brought over to the UK on a tourist visa

on 12th of March 2022 from an orphanage in India.

Medical tests were performed on her

before she was trafficked.

Presumably, it had already been established

that she was a good tissue and blood match

for your daughter Jasmin,

so, therefore, a suitable organ donor.

I say organ donor,

yet she is a child under the age of consent,

and living donations from a child

aren't even legal in this country.

But you probably already know that.

And somehow, Frank Chapman found out,

and we believe Rav Mochani was trying to protect Sajna

from Frank.

Why do you think Frank had such an interest

in this child? - Had he found out

about your collusion with Rav Mochani? Was he blackmailing you?

Yes.

Ma'am, it's urgent.

Initial forensics suggest Dr. Stenbury died of asphyxiation

from the petrol fumes somewhere between 12

to 18 hours. On a search of his property,

we found a note addressed to his kids

saying he was sorry. There's also divorce papers

and credit card bills. Thousands of pounds' worth.

So, he was having money troubles.

We know that the Chapmans and the Mochanis dabbled

in loan sharking. - You think

he might have owed Rav? - Or perhaps he agreed

to do the operation to wipe out the debt,

or else he was forced into doing it.

Liam, you and I need to talk later.

OK. Ma'am.

In that case, let's discuss

the logistical side.

For the tape, DI Ray has re-joined the interview.

Dr. Mark Stenbury has been found dead.

My God.

It's interesting that after having communication

with you, once again, there's another dead body.

Someone who knew your plans.

Your deal with Rav Mochani. Your corruption.

This is crazy.

Let's discuss the operational logistics,

shall we?

All I was told was that it was gonna take place

at a private clinic. - What was the name of the clinic?

I don't know.

What date was the transplant due to take place?

It hadn't been confirmed, but sometime next week.

And after you'd taken what you needed from her,

what was Rav's plan with that little girl?

Do you even care?

Of course I care.

We tried everything.

My daughter's got kidney failure.

I didn't know whether she'd get a transplant in time.

I couldn't risk losing her.

So, when Rav came to me and told me that...

he could bring a child from overseas,

someone who was a match, who...

who was willing to donate an organ,

I couldn't ignore it.

What else did he promise?

He, he promised me that they'd be well looked after,

that their life would be better.

And in return, he would get the £3,000,000 contract.

You must have known the risks.

The other option was to watch my daughter slowly die.

I challenge you to live a week in my shoes.

To come home every night

and to look in your child's eyes

knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do

to help them.

What's gonna happen to my daughter?

Ma'am. You need to hear this.

Full forensics on the gun fragment discovered

at Pawn Haven has found Frank Chapman's DNA

in the grooves, along with another trace

of DNA showing Chapman family markers.

So, it was Frank's gun? - Looks like it.

Meaning whoever shot him at his home

didn't go there armed.

There's also a partial fingerprint

that matches one of the unidentified prints

collected from the door handle of Frank's car.

Dave Chapman's?

No, not Dave's.

We still need the rest

of the Chapman family's evidential prints and DNA.

One of the Chapmans is Frank and Megan's killer.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Now if you wouldn't mind opening your mouth

so we can take a swab.

Thank you.

I will remind you to limit your movements

while we wait for the results. - Of course.

Detective Inspector Ray.

...on my desk.

Yeah, well, I know what it gets like for you lot.

Yeah, but if... - Liam?

Do you have a second? - Yeah.

It was you, wasn't it,

who made a complaint about me?

In what way have I been reckless?

Reckless?

I never said that, ma'am,

honest, and it wasn't a complaint. It was a concern.

I suggested to DCI Henderson that you might need more support.

Why did the superintendent get involved?

I don't know. She must have told him.

The morning after Rav Mochani's shooting,

he come to see me and he started putting the pressure on

for me to formalise things.

He wanted me to state explicitly that it was a complaint.

I just didn't know what to do.

Sorry, ma'am.

So, Liam came to you with a concern

and you rehashed it as a complaint. Why?

So you could present it to the IOPC?

Are you part of this plan to get rid of me?

Are you and Beardsmore in this together?

My assessment of Liam's concern

was that it was an unofficial complaint.

You wanna get rid of me because you're done using me

as your... project. - Firstly, you need to take a breath.

Excuse me? - Secondly, I'm sorry if you felt used.

Do you know what? It's time people like you and Beardsmore

heard your own words reflected back at you.

We need you to work with us, DI Ray,

to think like us.

You should be aware that people

will be watching your every move.

Making sure I'm keeping my mouth shut?

You've been recording me? - Do you blame me?

Beardsmore's from the dark ages, for God's sake.

I hate working under him.

Do you?

Rachita, please...

don't do this.

Don't report it.

Would you be able to open your mouth really wide

for me, my love? Just like your mum did before.

We need Amy's, too.

They haven't managed to get hold of her.

Do you know where she might be?

She's 17. She can do what she wants.

I'm not her mum.

I've got some stuff to sort out.

Won't be long. Don't go anywhere.

I mean it. Alls I need you to do is keep your mouth shut

and do as I say.

Ma'am.

The mystery number from the WhatsApp group,

it's a pay-as-you-go. The network provider confirmed

it got topped up at this newsagent's at 12:02 p.m.

Beardsmore.

I've got him.

Wow. Are you sure it's him?

Without a doubt. He posts multiple times a week.

It's mostly misogynistic, sometimes homophobic,

often racist but always vile.

My God.

You have to lay a trap. Follow Beardsmore to the source.

But without someone of a higher rank

to give authority, it's just too risky.

I know.

I know it's risky,

and I know I'm asking a lot of Clive,

but I think this is just too big

to let it slip through our fingers.

And Beardsmore is everything that is wrong with this force

and these lot on this chat

think they're untouchable, too.

OK, but, Rachita, as your friend,

I don't wanna see this backfire

and blow up in your face.

If it does blow up in my face...

I can handle it.

But if I succeed, this'll end him,

and potentially others like him. And for that...

it's worth the risk.

You're... me.

One of the students at Claire Doyle's academy,

the one that Frank Chapman invested in,

was a Laura Kirkby.

As in Lou's daughter?

She's deceased.

I'm gonna reach out to Lisa Kirkby again.

Next steps with Beardsmore. Did you watch him?

Well, I saw what time he arrived at work.

It coincided with him posting on the group.

I think he keeps the burner in his car.

Then that's where we'll get him.

I'm here for Lisa.

And Laura.

Can I ask what happened?

Um...

she started there,

at the Academy,

when she was 13.

Something changed in her.

In what way?

She stopped eating.

She wouldn't go out with her friends,

wouldn't go out with us.

Then Lisa noticed...

She was cutting herself,

on her arms,

and the tops of her legs.

The day after her 15th birthday,

I came home and she'd taken a whole load of pills.

By the time we got her to the hospital, she was already gone.

And it was him.

It was Frank Chapman.

That nonce killed my baby girl.

We found her diary and...

He made her...

he made her do things.

I didn't kill Frank,

but by God, I wish I had.

Take time.

Ma'am.

Liam? I'm heading to Parkbridge College.

We need to find Amy fast.

We heard about Amy's dad.

To be honest, I didn't know anything about

who her family was.

When she's here, she's heads down, real hard worker.

What about friends?

She's quite private.

There's just the one girl she spends most of her time with.

And who's that?

Her name's Shabnam.

I haven't seen her today.

Have you spoken, or texted at all?

No. Her dad just died and she needs her space, so...

But if there's anything you feel could be useful,

you should tell DI Ray, Shabnam.

Can I go now? I have to get to class and...

I can explain to Mr. Gregson. - It's fine.

Thank you for your time, Shabnam.

Sorry, I've got to get back to my students.

Yeah, of course. Thank you.

Shabnam?

You need to tell me what you know.

I promise you won't be in any trouble.

Who are you texting?

My mum. - Please, Shabnam, I'm worried about her.

So, Amy has another phone?

Her auntie gave it to her. I dunno why.

She stayed round mine the night before last,

and then her auntie came and picked her up from college

and she didn't say where she was going.

She just told me not to say anything.

I haven't heard from her since.

What's going on? - Thank you.

Ma'am? Liam, I think

Amy Chapman was abused by her granddad

and now she's gone missing.

Contact the Technical Support Unit

and we need to geolocate a phone number fast.

What is it?

She's at Amy's college.

She's not getting the message.

Make good on the threat.

Pick your moment and... do it.

Come on, Amy.

Why aren't you answering?

The number you have dialed is not available.

Please try again later.

The phone last pinged a cell tower

near the Road Stay Hotel on Crossbourne Road.

OK, we'll speak to the hotel and see if anyone

matching Amy's description has checked in recently.

Come on, Amy.

...hell!

Sierra Bravo 29 to Control.

Control to Sierra Bravo 29. Go ahead.

Ambulance and Uniform required near Crossbourne Road.

I require urgent assistance. How far is the nearest patrol?

Two minutes. Patrol is on the way.

Liam?

someone matching Amy's description checked in

yesterday with a blond lady.

It sounds like Suzie.

I asked them to go and see if anyone was in the room.

It's empty. But, ma'am...

Uniform have just advised

there's a white Caucasian female

on the roof.

I can see her.

I'm going in. Send for back-up.

Amy.

It's DI Rachita Ray. Do you remember me?

Look.

I know you're probably really scared right now,

but I just wanna talk to you. Is that all right?

Amy, can you move away from the edge?

Shabnam's really worried about you. We all are.

Leave me alone.

Amy.

I know about your granddad.

I know.

Frank's not in control of you anymore.

He's gone. He can't hurt you anymore. You can move on.

I can't. - Yes, you can.

If you tell me about what happened

that night, I can help you. - Don't say anything, Amy.

Amy, come away from the edge. - No.

Amy... I'm sorry, Auntie Suzie.

It wasn't...

I mean, I didn't mean to.

Didn't mean to what, Amy?

It's OK, chick.

You're safe now.

Come away from the edge.

DI Ray is gonna stay right there

while you and me walk away,

aren't you?

Amy,

just take it really nice

and slow, OK?

OK, Amy?

Nice and slow.

I just wanted everyone to know.

I just wanted him to admit it.

Stop this now. - But he wasn't listening.

And I just got so angry and I...

But you knew where his gun was.

It was only meant to scare him,

but he tried to get the gun off me and it,

it just went off.

OK, did you tell anyone?

My dad.

And what did your dad do?

He told me to go home,

have a shower,

get into bed...

and he'd sort it.

I miss him so much.

OK.

You don't have to carry this on your own anymore, OK?

It's over.

You're safe.

You will get through this, I promise.

OK?

I know what you said about keeping my mouth shut.

But I can't. - You're not thinking straight.

You're still in shock about your dad.

Besides,

there's no proof.

There is.

This video was found on Amy's phone.

You've been doing it since I was 11 years old.

What's this all about? Jealous 'cause I don't

want you anymore?

I won't let you start on my sister.

What the... are you gonna do with that?

Give it to me. - Not until you admit it.

Give me the... gun, Amy.

Get the... away from me.

You... bitch! Argh! - My God.

Argh.

We found this in Suzie Chapman's belongings.

Amy lost it in the tussle.

This is Frank's blood.

What's gonna happen to Amy?

She's been charged with attempted murder.

But given what she's been through, there's a chance

she'll get a non-custodial sentence.

What did Suzie Chapman have to say about it all?

Well, when she'd returned from Spain,

Dave convinced her that Rav was responsible

for Frank's murder.

Hence the kidnap.

Revenge for her father, she says.

Only she began to piece together that something was amiss.

She knew.

We've charged her with assisting an offender.

She could face 14 years.

Bloody hell.

So, why did Frank send the photo of Sajna to Rav?

Was it blackmail?

I believe Frank was trying to blackmail Rav

into bringing over other children, only this time

for sex trafficking.

Jesus.

Claire Doyle and her Academy are going to be investigated

for historic sexual abuse.

So,

well done to the team.

So, Dave Chapman shot his dad

'cause he was trying to protect his daughter,

just like his daughter was trying to protect her sister

and Amara was trying to protect Jasmin.

These murders weren't about a turf war.

This was about family.

Someone's grassed on us, mate.

You're gonna have to let everyone else

in the group know as soon as possible.

..., I've got to go.

Two of them have left the chat.

What about Beardsmore?

No activity.

What if we're wrong about him having the burner in the car?

Here we go.

DI Ray?

Sir, would you mind stepping out of the vehicle?

Excuse me? - I need you to step out

of the vehicle.

And why is that?

We have reason to believe that you may have committed

an offence under the Malicious Communications Act.

Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

You know your ranks, DI Ray?

DS Bottomley?

I'm seizing your phone as evidence to prove or disprove

your participation in a group chat

where offensive messages have been exchanged.

You know, you never cease to amaze me, Ray.

Your phone, please.

Does DCI Henderson know about this?

Sir,

we can do this the hard way.

I can arrest you, search your vehicle,

and confiscate your phone in front of everyone here,

or you can hand it over and we can discuss

the matter privately.

I've been really patient with you, but this, this is it.

The two of you come with me, immediately,

to DCI Henderson's office.

That's an order.

We've got community unrest,

people being shot dead in the streets,

and these idiots,

under your management, are wasting time and resources

investigating some bloody group chat.

Did you authorise this surveillance,

DCI Henderson?

I did not, sir.

In that case, I trust you'll deal

with this discreditable conduct appropriately.

Sir.

Ma'am... - You can... off!

I'm not standing here answering to some DS.

And you're about to be handed a Reg 15

following complaints against your conduct.

Ma'am, we have CCTV footage that places

Superintendent Beardsmore with a burner phone,

and evidence of exchanges on a group chat over a period

of months. - Think very carefully

about how you proceed, DCI Henderson,

especially if you still expect me to recommend you

to the promotion board.

Understood, sir.

I'll deal with this immediately.

Pleased to hear it.

Detective Chief Superintendent Tucker, please.

Professional Standards.

Ma'am, it's DCI Kerry Henderson from the Homicide Unit.

Could you come over to my office immediately?

I need you to make an arrest.

Superintendent Ross Beardsmore,

for malicious communications

and perverting the course of justice, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Superintendent Beardsmore,

I'm gonna need your burner phone... sir.

Superintendent Beardsmore will be suspended

with immediate effect.

An internal investigation will be conducted

and a formal statement will be released to the press.

Why don't you all go home and get some well-earned rest?

You worked your arses off.

Sam will be proud. I am.

Well done, ma'am.

Thank you, Liam.

DI exams tomorrow, ma'am.

You're gonna smash it.

Rachita.

Professional Standards have asked if you'd be willing

to submit the recordings you made of meetings with the superintendent.

Yeah, course, ma'am.

Listen, I'm withdrawing my job application

from East Mids.

Makes sense.

Why go to a different constabulary

when there's a superintendent position opening up here?

Wasn't sure if this would make me

look like an extravagant prick, so, um...

Well, it's all about balance.

It is.

It's really good to see you, Patrick.

How is she?

She's happy enough.

What's gonna happen to her?

Sajna's foster mother is friendly with a couple

who are looking to adopt. They've a pretty strong case

to get her fast-tracked. - Poor child.

What she's been through, I can't even begin to imagine.

You know, I've been

thinking about what you said to me.

I called them out

on what's been happening to me...

and to others.

I've formally

submitted my evidence

against the force.

Things have to change.

Mum?

I'm so proud of you.

I'm proud of me, too. I did it.

Do you fancy some lunch?

Are you cooking?

No.

In that case, yes.

That would be lovely.

As long as it's liquid.
