Start IV adrenaline and prep the chlorphenamine.

Someone page the anaesthetist in case we need an airway.

Saima you need to leave please.

Harry Harry it's me it's Saima.

You're going to be OK. I'm not going anywhere all right?

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

SOCO will sweep this place

when they've finished with Henford's house.

Looks like he hasn't been in there for months.

The extermination team has just left.

Apparently it's safe to go in.

Let's go.

Any news on DCI Virdee?

No.

He's covered in leeches.

It's Matthew Henford the owner of this place.

Pawa's former accountant.

He testified at his trial.

CONWAY: We found him collapsed on the street

outside a suspect's house.

We're lucky we got to him in time.

How did you not know where he was?

He didn't have his radio.

Why not?

SHE SIGHS

Why didn't he have his radio?

The decision was made to suspend him from duty.

What? Why? I can't say.

It's for Harry to tell you. Oh. I just can't say.

Mm. Right.

Saima?

Dad.

How are you? Are you OK?

Dr Azhar called me.

She told me what happened.

How's he doing?

He's stable.

It looks very serious.

Does his family know?

I can't deal with them right now.

Especially not his dad.

Not after the way he's treated us.

Come on. You need a break.

Let's step outside and get some fresh air huh?

Yeah all right.

WHISPERS: Bye.

PHONE BUZZES

I'm worried Vasil's going to retaliate.

Maybe you should lay low for a while. Work from home.

Work from home?

Nothing's going to happen to me.

What's wrong?

Got a lot going on.

Big shipment coming in new kids starting that's all.

It's been a while since I've seen you like this.

Harry?

The past Soph it never goes away.

Every decision we make has to be answered for.

Why are you doing this?

Did you kill him the detective?

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Who is this?

Boardman I have your son.

What do you want?

I intend to surrender

at City Park tonight with Alastair unharmed.

On one non-negotiable condition.

DCI Harry Virdee.

Not exactly who I wanted to wake up to.

Pretty sure you've woken up to worse faces than mine.

Drove your car here parked it outside.

How bad was I?

Shit-ton of stings.

Anaphylactic shock.

We found Henford.

Been dead a while.

Covered in parasitic leeches.

What about Alastair?

Gone.

Any ID on the suspect?

I mean he hit me over the head with a gun and stuck it in my mouth

before I passed out.

I can't be certain but it looked like Jai Pawa.

I thought we got confirmation that he was still

in a Punjab central prison. We did.

Unless it was fake.

Get on that yeah?

Something's not adding up.

I was just leaving.

Harry wasn't certain but he said the guy who attacked him

looked like Pawa.

Contact the British Consulate in Punjab.

I need them to interview whoever took this video.

What are you thinking?

That there's a wider conspiracy at play here.

VASIL: Find out what happened at my tearoom yesterday.

Boss.

Someone is going to pay for this.

Yes boss. Ateeq!

Tell me.

Look I got into contact with Bradford West.

And the whole abduction thing made them trust me.

The boss is called Riaz Hyatt.

And he'll be at this location today.

Hey.

Our plan it worked.

My tearoom was hit yesterday.

I'm thinking it was Bradford West.

You know anything about this?

If I knew anything you'd know.

Listen I've done what you asked.

HE SCOFFS

Jepja.

Ten grand.

For you.

OK? You go now.

You are a real soldier for Vasil.

Take out this Riaz Hyatt.

And the kid?

You know what to do with him.

CONWAY: City Park is being shut down businesses closed

and an evacuation order is in place.

British Consulate have confirmed Jai Pawa escaped from prison

and those videos were faked.

I think Jai Pawa's here and he's got Alastair.

Get a team. Find Sophie Brodenham and any other members of Pawa's crew

who co-operated with the prosecution

and then disappeared into witness protection.

We're running out of time.

We need to go and see Harry. Tell him about the call.

Sir our job isn't to give criminals what they want.

We can't just shut down the city for one man.

Our job is to save my son!

PRAYING

How are you feeling?

Like I've had the shit kicked out of me.

Conway said you were suspended?

Well it's just...

He needs to rest.

Whoever's done this to you has contacted me directly.

He's ready to surrender and release Alastair.

But he's got conditions.

He claims he'll surrender tonight in City Park

and release Alastair but...

..only to you Harry.

Now he says he won't be armed.

No not a chance.

You can't seriously be considering this.

I thought he was suspended.

Well that's been rescinded.

The suspension was a misunderstanding.

You're really going to walk back into the hands of the man

who put you in here in the first place?

You'd have full tactical support.

Please! My son's life is at risk.

Excuse me.

Saima.

DOOR SLAMS

Sai! Saima wait man.

Why did they suspend you?

Our suspect forced me to confess I'd murdered someone.

Right?

Conway had no choice while they investigated.

Why would he get you to do that?

What are you asking me?

Whoever's doing this has got a grudge against me

my family. That's all I know.

Has it got anything to do with this?

I've already given Riaz his back.

I have been going over and over this trying to rationalise

why you'd be talking to Riaz using a burner phone.

What the fuck is going on Harry?

That's something you need to ask Riaz.

I have asked him.

And now I'm asking you.

You deserve the truth Saima...

..but right now Alastair's life is in danger so I just..

I need you to trust me.

Please.

We both know you're going to do this regardless of what I say.

PHONE RINGS

Riaz where you at? I need a one-to-one.

RIAZ: About Saima? She knows.

Meet me at the warehouse.

Hello boss.

Ta-ra boss.

I told you I don't do minimum wage shit.

Nothing wrong with minimum wage shit.

Is that how you started yeah?

Nah.

I grafted for free in me dad's corner shop.

Everyone does that.

Maxed out in some dead-end job. That ain't living.

What do you know about living?

Choices and that innit.

What sort of choices?

Ones that give you options.

A good education does that.

I've got a juvie record.

That door's closed.

I were hitting good grades though.

New crowd. New vibe.

Shit happens.

Yeah shit happens.

Why'd you say Vasil lifted you?

I wanted to switch to you lot Bradford West.

I was sick of not climbing the ladder in Vasil's crew.

But you know the game.

No switching.

I was making moves to bring some others with me.

And Vasil wanted to send a message.

I were like you once.

I had prospects. Got taken.

Want to know why I got in this game?

Money.

Power. Nah.

People. Family. Ethics.

Right kids should be kids not runners.

You've seen how Vasil does things I do it different.

I create real jobs from all of this.

You'll see.

I entered this world to change it.

You understand?

You're a good kid Ateeq.

Now crack on.

It's not minimum wage.

It's me trusting you.

Riaz!

GUNSHOTS

Riaz!

Is he still breathing?

TARA: Thanks for meeting me.

SAIMA: It's all right.

It sounded important on the phone.

I wanted to ask you about something.

Mm-hm?

Who were Paul King?

Where did you hear that name?

Well I wanted to see if the 420 on my neck was something to do

with your old shop so I went there yesterday.

Tara don't you think you should be taking it easy?

Look...

..when I arrived Uncle Harry and your Riaz were there.

I heard them talking about something. They were angry.

And something about this Paul King.

He were a thug who robbed our shop in 2001

when the riots were happening.

Nearly killed me mum but Riaz...

Murdered him.

Well it was self-defence.

Look...

..do you not think all this is connected?

Eh...

What do you mean?

I don't think Harry and Riaz are the men we think they are.

Saima's father.

This morning when I was getting ready to come here

I was wearing my shalwar kameez.

Then I changed into these.

You know why?

30 years ago I bought a shop on Lammington Lane.

Very difficult in those days.

Very difficult fully white area.

I thought if I dress like the white man

then maybe they'll see me just like them.

Maybe they'll be nicer to me.

This morning when I was coming here to see you...

..it felt like those times again.

If I wore my shalwar kameez

you would see only a Muslim man and not Ubaid.

Ah.

I've cleared the whole floor let's get you in the office.

Easy. There you go sit down there.

That's it.

We should blue light him!

And say what? He got shot in a fuckin' drive-by?

What do you reckon that does to us all?

What do you reckon that does to this place eh?

It's stuck in your arm.

Riaz let me call this in.

No. I'm going to have to take it out stop the bleeding.

You good? Do it.

Pin him.

This is going to hurt.

Shit.

Come on. Almost there...

Got it!

Get me a pen! I'll make a tourniquet.

Easy easy.

What you want from me?

I want you to let go what Harry and Saima did.

Look... Look where we are.

How long have we got left hmm?

We are the generation whose hearts were back in our homeland

but our minds were trying to figure a way out

on how to lead a new life.

We may not have got everything we wanted

but we moved here for more choices.

Then to deny our children the most important choice?

My late wife used to say

if we don't embrace change then we will always lose.

The greatest gift Aaron has?

He will never know any of this pain.

He won't drown in history.

He'll have his own identity.

English? Indian? Pakistani? Who knows?

Who cares?

What did you say to Saima?

Do you know what it is yeah.

I told her exactly the same as I'm telling you now.

Stay away from me.

Stay out of my business.

I'm dropping every fucking body Vasil's got.

You make that move everything changes.

I told you before Harry...

..there can only be one king in this city.

Riaz...

Look at me.

You do this...

..you'll never be the same again.

Trust me.

It's time for you to leave.

I've done what you asked.

Put the word out that Vasil's got his man.

As of now you're dead.

I'm going to look into who gave away our location.

Vasil will drop his guard.

That's when we take him out.

Get the team ready.

Timeframe?

Within 48 hours.

What about a medic? En route.

Send everyone home.

We need to lay low.

Meet me back at the house.

Done!

PHONE BUZZES

Is it done?

Yeah.

You got him.

He's dead.

What are you doing?

Please let me go.

What are you going to do with that?

Some deaths need to be slow.

Some deaths are worth savouring.

Please just let me go.

MUFFLED SPEECH

A final recap before you're all dismissed.

Snipers will be positioned here and here.

ARUs will be surrounding the perimeter.
