Original subtitles

Tell me where the boy is or you die here! Help me!

DCI Virdee. Yeah. I'm Khalil Amin. Your new DS sir.

There's two major drug gangs in this city -

Vasil Shala's crew

and Bradford West whose leader remains unknown.

There'll always be a boss in this city.

Might as well be one you can work with.

No no. You're my brother-in-law. I don't work for you.

You look beautiful. I know. What did you do that for?

This is a happy event.

Papa. Let's keep it that way.

Priti. What you doing?

Switch sides. Come work with me.

I heard that Ateeq tried switching.

People who do that get taken.

Don't worry about me.

You can't do this.

This is England!

This is Bradford.

Where...is...Ateeq?

Uncle Harry! Happy Diwali Mum.

HE GASPS YELLS

Nazir?

Why aren't these bloody lights working?

God.

Hello?

Is there anyone here?

Hello?

Hello?

SHE SCREAMS

Priti!

Markings on the feet.

Eyes sewn shut.

Did she just...

HE MOANS

Ranjit Virdee 62 was found collapsed at home.

Right. Adrenaline. Let's shock him.

That's enough. No! Again. Stand clear!

Shocking.

STEADY BEEPING

OK. He's stable. Get him to the ICU.

It was Priti's job to close up.

The manager said she insisted on doing it alone.

Checking the handbag for a mobile.

Last night local printers had a dinner here.

She was the hostess.

This room weren't used though.

She was here.

Cushions.

Dessert cartons.

She were with someone.

The killer?

No this were date night.

So where the hell's the boyfriend?

Unless he's the one who did this.

Scuff marks.

He's been drugged. Come on lad.

Do you know what's going on? Sorry.

Right. Family liaison. Who's on it?

I've got DC Summerhayes.

For God's sake! Get an Asian down there. Nobody's talking to a gora.

Well we need them talking. I want a complete

profile of Priti Parmar - friends family relationships.

Social media employment

bloody council records.

Was she known?

I want a 3D profile of Parmar as soon as possible.

Mortuary. 30 minutes.

See? This is my uncle.

You all right? Tara what you doing here?

I'm just...checking if you're OK actually.

Why wouldn't I be?

Well last night were...

..tough with Grandad.

Shit happens.

So what's going on in there then?

Look I've told you before.

Stop trading on my name for access.

It's a restricted area.

I'm an investigative reporter.

I've got a right to ask questions about what's going on in there.

Girl behind me if she messes about nick her. All right guv.

You need to get back.

The doctor told me you saved his life.

I don't know how to thank you.

I just did my job.

Can he hear anything?

He's heavily sedated.

He doesn't know who you are.

We never spoke of you.

Please

don't tell Hardeep about his papaji.

The doctor said his heart is very weak.

We don't lie to each other.

Ever.

Sorry guv but...

..uniform said you told them to nick her if she kicked off.

Sit down.

You don't ever stop do you?

Take a beat? Think on what you're doing?

Maybe I should rub me nose on the floor.

That work for you?

Sorry.

That were a shitty thing to say.

Look Uncle Harry people talk to me who won't talk with you.

I'm an asset.

Hmm. Don't you see that?

You got local connections have you? Yeah I have.

A young woman were found murdered this morning

and you honestly think you can do more than us?

Yeah.

Just trust me. Tara.

Enough. Listen to me.

Leave this alone or you and I are going to fall out.

Think on that. I've got a murder to solve.

Uncle Harry! Not now Tara!

Uncle Harry.

Oh fuck's sake!

Novak Rexa brought in yesterday. Did we establish cause of death?

Massive drug overdose.

Tox screen came back with enough heroin to put down a horse.

Can you give me some light Harry?

Two sets of marks round her neck.

She was probably strangled first

then hung using this -

a Carpathian coil.

Originated in the Carpathian Mountains... Carpathian Mountains.

Eastern Europe.

You know your geography.

I saw her eyes move at the crime scene.

There!

There's something in there.

Well that was unexpected.

Nicely done.

Right.

Well I guess we know what's behind the other eye.

Full house in the club tonight.

Be a good gig.

You should come down. Have a drink.

Increase the minimum spend to 20.

All right buddy.

Don't he know you're a Muslim? THEY LAUGH

Mate listen

our friendly PCSO's confirmed that Priti Parmar was the victim

in the members' club.

She's one of ours.

Looks messy.

Make sure the family's looked after.

Back door. Discreet. No trail.

Priti was getting heat from Vasil's crew for switching to us.

What do you want to do?

Make preparations for a response.

We look weak if we don't reply.

What about Harry?

His job was to keep the peace.

He failed.

I'll deal with it.

Right.

Hey.

Weren't you meant to be somewhere today?

Right. Entomology.

Goes to the top of their list. Listen update the boss about this

tell her we need more manpower the whole unit.

Full briefing 2pm.

Her eyes were removed.

Clean work.

Medically trained?

Not that clean.

Skilled with a blade though.

And...the wasps hatched inside her.

Oh come on give me a break!

15 years and I've never seen anything like this.

This guy's a monster.

PHONE RINGS

I was just thinking of you.

Just wanted to hear your voice.

Rough day? Had better ones.

Same.

Anything I can help with?

No.

You haven't forgotten about tonight have you?

My mum's anniversary dinner.

No. Course not.

Liar.

It's important. I'll be there.

Look I've got to go OK?

Love you. Love you too.

I'll speak to these neighbours.

LOUD SOBBING

It's not true!

WOMAN CONSOLES

SHE SOBS

It's not true. It's not...

We will find who did this to your daughter.

I promise you.

Drug money?

Over ten grand in cash I'd say so.

Sir?

Alcohol. Wipes away marker.

This guy.

Xavier fucking Stead.

QUIET GROAN

What happened to me?

Where am I?

Bradford City Hospital.

You collapsed at home.

I'm sorry to say you suffered a heart attack.

My chest hurts.

Can I have something for the pain please?

You're not due for another hour.

Please.

I'd be very grateful.

So what's the plan here then boss?

Follow my lead.

This is what Xavier uses as a cover for washing drug money -

a shitty car wash.

Keep the change.

Eyes on the man with the money.

I see it. Clever.

Not clever enough.

All right lads?

Should we go after them?

Nah let them run to Vasil.

We're not here for them.

WOMAN SQUEALS LAUGHS

Did you hear that?

Probable cause.

Kick it down.

You what?

Oh for God's sake. Grab him.

Hiya Harry. Wipe your nose.

Pull your pants up!

I ain't done nothing!

Where were you last night?

With your mum. Oh you think that's funny?

A girl's been murdered and you want to crack jokes?!

I don't know what you're talking about! Oh you knew her?

Priti Parmar ring a bell?

What?

Priti's dead?

EXPLOSION

Cuff him.

CAR ALARM BLARES

My fucking cars!

Someone's going to pay for this!

Fuck's sake Riaz. What have you done?

I can see in your face

it's not good.

You're fine.

Nurse please can you pass me comb...

..from my trouser pocket?

Thank you nurse.

Here. Let me.

You know I've only ever let my wife do this.

Tell me are you married?

I didn't get your name beti.

Do you know what your name means?

Meditating in the name of God.

Oh what a wonderful name eh?

Can I have a word Mrs Virdee?

Really? After what he did last night?

I know. What you saw was just bad.

But there's more to my husband than his hurt and his pride.

How could he do that to his own son?

But I want my son back.

I'm not interested in playing games.

Please. Just don't say anything.

The kitchen staff left the club at 11.30

leaving Priti alone with her boyfriend.

So this footage has just come in of our suspect

and it was captured outside the club at 2am meaning that

Priti and Nazir were alone with our killer for several hours.

Right our victim Priti Parmar 25

were found this morning by a cleaner.

Priti has no priors but we believe she were a significant

player in the drugs game.

Her ex-boyfriend Xavier Stead is downstairs for questioning.

Crucially Priti Parmar had both of her eyes removed

and wasp's eggs inserted in the sockets.

This has purpose.

And it means something very specific.

It shows our killer is patient and calculating.

He left the boyfriend Nazir Saed alive.

Priti was strung up using a Carpathian coil

which is an old Eastern European form of punishment

which points us towards...

Novak Rexa found hanging yesterday

feels like a connection to this case.

So...

..here's your Scarborough warning.

If details of the wasp are leaked

I swear to God I'll write your P45s myself.

ALL: Yes ma'am. Dismissed.

ACC wants two detectives to liaise

with the central honour killings unit.

It's not an honour killing boss.

We both know that happens in-house.

Look how specific this is.

ACC needs to put everyone on this.

We could have a serial killer on the streets of Bradford.

You were captured on CCTV.

Taken outside the Bradford Club last night.

Just after Priti arrived for her shift.

What were you doing there?

Taking a piss.

Public disorder act?

Also a violation of your probation.

Yeah you see I reckon you knew Priti was in the club

with her new fella Nazir doing all the kinds of things that

you and her used to do in there.

Drove you mad didn't it?

Knowing she was in there with him?

Off the record?

I aren't going back inside.

So you make sure that I leave here with my probation intact...

..and I'll tell you what I know.

Go on.

Right come on Harry. I didn't kill Priti.

You know me. I aren't...

I'm a lot of things but I aren't that.

Priti switched sides

Shala Crew to Bradford West

which pissed 'em right off

cos she was shit-hot at recruiting other lasses.

What the fuck did she expect were going to happen?

I tried to get her to stop but erm...

..it were too late.

She tried to negotiate a payoff but he wouldn't agree.

Who didn't agree?

Who do you think?

Vasil Shala.

I need to search you.

It's not happening. Not today. Get off me.

I'm nicking you for assault!

Get your hands off me!

I want to speak to Vasil.

GUNSHOT

Enough!

Sit.

Your partner - he can handle himself.

I like that. I like him.

Maybe sometime soon you and Vasil will go for a coffee.

I don't drink coffee.

Why you come here Harry?

I need something from you.

Priti Parmar were found murdered last night.

I heard she used to work for you.

Whoever killed her wanted us to think it were you.

You need to convince me otherwise.

Vasil doesn't do things like this.

It's messy. Bad for business.

Let's make a deal.

You tell me who killed Novak

you give him to me

and I'll find out some things about Priti.

You know I won't do that.

But...

..when I arrest who did it

I'll make sure they go to Armley prison.

Your crew inside can sort it from there.

I like this deal Harry.

You know Priti when she er...

..was working for us she stole from Vasil.

Maybe she's stealing from her new employer.

Maybe they punish her.

Maybe you should speak to Bradford West.

Leave now.

But just remember Harry...

..it is the people we love who suffer

when we don't do what we promise.

You just made friends with Vasil Shala.

You knew that would happen. He could have killed us.

Nah Vasil might be a lot of things but he's not a cop killer.

Most people don't interlock their elbows when choking someone out.

Yeah most people don't grow up the way I did.

Look at me for God's sake -

I don't look English but I sound it I feel it

and growing up when some white lad would call me a P-word

I'd smack him.

Some Asian would call me a mongrel or a coconut I'd smack him too.

You get good with your hands when everyone's the enemy.

I had you down as a graduate bookworm. Oh I am.

Got two books on chokeholds.

Can I ask you a question?

Go on.

Why Harry? Why not your full name?

They used to call me "Kal" in the academy not Khalil.

I put that shit to bed straight away.

Why Harry?

Another time.

If Vasil didn't kill Priti then who did?

Priti's boyfriend's awake at the hospital ready for questioning.

Great I'll check in with the missus too.

I can't hold him in A&E indefinitely.

Find me a bloody bed.

I'll try.

What are you doing here?

Nice to see you too.

Sorry.

Just interviewing a witness.

You OK? You seem off.

Shit day.

Do you know what I think? We should run away together.

OK. I'm in.

What about Aaron though?

Oh he's got his iPad he knows where the fridge is

he'll be all right. Come on then we're leaving now.

SHE CHUCKLES

What time will you be at my dad's? I'm staying over tonight.

I remember. Er around dessert.

Asian timing. Hmm.

It's important to me. Please don't take the piss Harry.

I'm not taking the piss.

Hmm. See you later?

Did you see his face?

He were wearing a mask.

I can't remember much. It's all a blur.

You were given heroin laced with fentanyl

and we believe Priti was dealing - is that true?

Yeah she got mixed up with a gang but she never took anything.

This was last night. She was so happy.

Wait. Go back.

No henna.

So this is not the Eastern Europeans' work the Shala Crew?

Unlikely. Henna's a South Asian art form.

Historically it symbolised good health and wellbeing in a marriage.

The darker the stain the deeper the love.

Yeah this is not someone proclaiming their love for her.

Do these symbols mean something?

He did spend at least two hours on this at the crime scene.

Certainly suggests purpose.

Brides sometimes hide their husband's name in the henna.

In lighter ink.

It's supposed to be an ice-breaker.

Wendy have you got a UV light?

Well look at that.

B-E-I-Z-Z-A-T.

Beizzat. Means dishonoured.

Photograph this. Get it to Conway now.

VIDEO CLIP: Hi I'm Tara Virdee.

I'm outside The Bradford Club where moments ago

a body was removed from inside the building.

There's a large police presence.

No details as of yet of the victim

but I will report more information as soon as I have it.

Hey.

You all right? Do you want to get a coffee?

Go on then.

Thanks. Thanks love.

Thought we had a good time last week.

We did.

Did you lose my number?

I got caught up in work. You know how it is.

Hmm.

Maybe you're just tapping me for info about

this world for your story.

I was.

Doesn't mean I can't mix work with pleasure.

So Priti Parmar that girl that were murdered...

What do you know about her?

She was running gear.

Recruited a few girls we know into the game.

Including you?

Cops be all over the county lines boys these days.

But brown girls?

Cops ain't stopping and searching us in this city.

It's too political.

Were Priti in trouble with anyone?

You've always got to watch your back.

If you want to know more about all this I can show you.

Club night tonight.

Blue Murmur.

Sex drugs.

You game?

A friendly face...

..after such bad news.

The doctor told me I have to have major surgery.

It's not bad news.

The surgery will help.

As soon as a bed becomes available

you'll be moved somewhere more comfortable.

At my age surgery's simply

prolonging what Waheguru has planned for me.

I think your family would like to be able to spend more time with you.

Have you got children?

A daughter.

Mandeep.

Only one daughter?

Sorry.

I didn't mean to pry.

I'll just document your obs and leave you in peace.

Do you see a lot of people die in here?

What do they say to you

when they know their time is short?

They often talk about regrets.

Situations they could have made better.

Mostly about family.

What do you say to them?

I offer them a phone.

Regrets only exist when a situation is unresolved.

People make mistakes but they can always pick up a phone.

Do they?

Usually.

I'll leave you to it.

Do you have a phone or would you like me to bring you one?

No you're fine.

Intrepid Autos were hit today.

Somebody torched half a dozen of Vasil's motors.

Know anything about that?

Let's just keep the peace yeah.

The only guarantee with peace is it never lasts.

Priti Parmar?

Don't know her.

She were running your product.

Switched from the Shala Crew a few months back.

They were pissed.

Half this city runs my product.

I don't engage in street level shit.

You want details you ask Enzo.

Made a deal with Vasil -

intel on Priti for who killed Novak.

Unless you can help with that?

Sorry brother. Got nothing.

Look I know Priti weren't you

and I don't think it were the Shala Crew either

so there must be a new player in town.

You really believe that?

Yeah. Whoever it is they're more violent that either of you.

Vasil plays you man.

Hard to tell who's playing who these days.

And what's that supposed to mean?

If you've got something to say say it to me then.

Think I've already said it an't I?

Maybe.

But you owe me.

I know.

It's the only reason you're not in prison.

This is the last time I'll let you play that card.

You're the boss.

Remember when your mum used to bring us here to play?

Course I do.

You always said you'd own it one day.

It's beautiful here.

Peaceful.

Gives me balance.

You going to the anniversary dinner?

You need to. We both do.

You don't really want to go.

I'm in the game Harry.

Keep my distance from Saima and the family

keeps everyone safe.

You know today's important. I know.

What's happened?

Summat has. Can see it in your face.

I'm going to your dad's.

Don't let him down yeah?

Your mother's favourite rosebush isn't growing.

What will I say when I visit her grave?

That I couldn't look after her most precious plant?

I know I put the best fertiliser in the soil.

I water it a lot. I even...

I even talk to it every day.

SHE CHUCKLES

Well if it's anything like my mum you want to ignore it.

Pay more attention to the other plants it'll soon perk up.

Are you still worried about lying to Harry?

You should have just let the old man pop his clogs

then you wouldn't have to lie.

Astaghfirullah.

Beti...

You know what you must do.

Tell Harry the truth.

No good can come of lies.

No matter what your mother-in-law says.

My child Allah gives you strength.

Tell the truth.

Your father-in-law has now seen who you really are.

Warm compassionate.

Hey?

It may change how he thinks.

At least I'd do it right!

Is he not coming in?

I don't know. Let me go get him.

Harry? Harry!

Hey. Hey hey hey. Come here come here.

What's going on?

Nothing. Just... got an urgent call from work.

Why are you lying to me?

I...just I can't...

..can't do this after last night.

Can't sit there messing up an important day for you

and your family because I'm...

I'm just a mess Saima.

Come here.

I've got you.

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

I'll see you back at the house.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck you!

Fuck! FUCK!

If she could see you gardening...

Yeah she'd love that.

Premium fertiliser.

Only the best for Mum.

There's tea inside.

Whose yours or Nadsy's?

Nadsy's.

She any better at it?

No.

Where's Harry?

Don't want to talk about it.

OK. Understood.

Did you go to the grave an' all?

Yeah.

But it's here in this garden I can still feel her.

Obsessing over these damn plants.

Always getting me and you to cut the grass.

But never Nadsy though.

No no. Lazy cow.

THEY LAUGH

Come inside. Dad misses you.

You think you hurt her more than me?

Just leave me be Sai.

This family stuff isn't for me.

What happened to us Riaz?

ON RADIO: Hey guys big shout out to club Blue Murmur

and the monthly Beizzat event tonight.

Admission is £10 and you get one free drink and as ever

what happens at Beizzat stays at Beizzat.

Beizzat.

Where the fuck are you?

What are you doing here?! Leave! It's not safe!

I can't hear you. Leave. I've got to dance.

He's been drugged. Did you see his face?

He were wearing a mask.

CHEERING AND LAUGHTER

COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING

If you saw anything suspicious

no matter how small DM me.

We're all a community Bradford. We got to look out for each other.

Someone forced their way in.

Sir come take a look at this.

This must be our man.

MUFFLED: Please let me go.

Whoever is holding my little boy

the control here is all yours here.

You have absolute power to do good.

I got skills and I need to earn. Yeah.

I can tell you how to take down Vasil's crew.

Maybe this is the opportunity we've been waiting for to take Vasil out.

Let's do it.

The insect is a Tarantula Hawk.

It will sting a tarantula then lay a single egg inside it

using the spider as a living host to incubate the larva.

THEY LAUGH

You stood there telling me I have to "share my shit"

and the whole time you're keeping something like this from me?!

There's a killer targeting us.

You shouldn't go on your own. It's dangerous out there.

TYRES SCREECH

GUNSHOTS

Harry Virdee.

Now the game begins.
