Christ, do you think the bloody Pope's
come around?

Did you put the champagne in the fridge?

No. Just stick it in the freezer.

He's here.

Finally.

Come on, he's here.

OK.

Thank you.

Hiya, Mum.

Mummy, come here.

Hiya,

mate. Hiya, mate.

Hiya, Dad.

Three months in the Falklands, counting
sheep and looking for Archibalds who

never bloody came.

Then Brunei.

Ten weeks with the Gurkhas marching
through the jungle in 90 % humidity.

It was like wearing your kit in a
fucking sauna. Oh, you're home now. None

that.

Then it was Germany for the last five
exercises.

I'm sorry for the frowning eye. That
means getting pissed.

It means getting pissed, Mum.

It's Richie. Oh, nice one.

He's just back.

He can see his powers.

Richie's all right.

Auntie Beryl's round tomorrow.

He can't be full of drink.

That's the only way to deal with Auntie
Beryl.

That's it.

I'm going for the plants.

You're not finished.

Well, I am now. Hey, be careful, will
you?

There's all these stories around the
city.

That poor kid, the Tide.

I can strip a machine gun blindfolded,
Mum.

This is Liverpool.

I think I can handle it.

Now go on.

The room's spinning.

You need to come down.

Have you got any weed?

I can do better than that.

Sure?

Yeah, go on then.

Hi.

Hi.

Have you got any more?

Got money?

Yeah.

Do it yourself.

I'm not going to get very far without
that.

Thanks, Mum.

I'll try and get along the next time.
Yeah, and write some bloody letters too.

I will.

Love you, Mum. I love you.

Bye, me.

Bye, me.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, son.

Main station, yeah?

No.

So you're in the field, spending money,
hand over fist, and so far the main

development is Liverpool and the Turks
realising that they should work

That's good.

If they work together, it means we can
take them down together.

And how might you do that?

Turks will source it, Liverpool
distribute.

What they're missing is an importer who
can handle the increased load. I need to

make that my job.

Then I've got eyes on the whole Turkish
operation and we can dismantle it and

nick the lot of them.

And if we can work out the Liverpool
distribution network, then we can take

down at the same time.

Achieve all that and we pull off the
biggest result in customs history. And

not, we've played a not insignificant
part in creating the most powerful drugs

cartel this country has ever seen.

Yeah, well, there is that.

Quite enough of these future glories,
Don.

Next time you call me, call me with
progress.

Absolutely, sir.

He'll pull it, by the way.

If he thinks it's coming apart.

He'll pull it himself.

So, let's bind him some progress.

Who should we be looking out for amongst
the Turks?

No one. You worry about Liverpool.

You don't tell me what to do, mate.

Look, Guy's right.

The targets have come together, but we
keep the operations apart.

That way, if one of the operations gets
busted, the other one survives.

Shouldn't we pull our intelligence?

When you're undercover, the only thing
worse than knowing too little is knowing

too much. If you react to a face or a
name that your legend shouldn't know,

game over. You lot tell me what I need
to know, and I'll tell the other

operation what they need to know. So,
we're done.

What's wrong with him?

I mean, he was never exactly chatty,
but... He's a legend.

And the kind of legend he's building is
the kind you're never really out of.

How do you get it in?

How do you distribute it?

Hmm.

All you need to know is we bring it in
pure.

All we need to know is you can help
build the network.

We control half of Britain.

The stuff's as good as you say it is.

Then we'll control the other half too.

Okay, okay.

We'll do a test run.

Then we'll see what the dogs... Battery,
transmitter, the

fixings.

No idea what that is.

Good luck.

Are you going to show me how to make it?

Show you? It's not a blue piece, sir.

Figure it out for yourself.

Show you.

Go on, then. What have you got?

Eddie McKee. Long record.

Firearms and violence, so nothing for a
while.

Then there's Declan Carter.

The good -looking one.

That's inappropriate.

Anything? No, nothing. No record of any
nature, which...

I found unlikely, so I went through
Liverpool court records and there they

Historical charges, loan sharking, money
with menaces, that kind of thing. So

the charges were dropped?

Before the case came to court, every
time, which is interesting.

You got an address?

No, I'll get one. It's proving harder
than it should be, but that's

too. Yeah.

Here's... Birmingham.

You what? We have a package for you in
Istanbul.

You must show that you can ship it to
Felixstowe, get it past customs and take

it to a handover in Birmingham.

Why not handover in Liverpool?

Because we don't trust them.

And they don't trust us yet, so we'll
meet halfway.

Where's the handover?

A dog track in Birmingham.

It's too public.

Of course public.

Nobody dies in public.

It's only a test run. Oh, OK.

I'll tell the judge it was only a test
run.

This is what is happening.

And now you know what is happening. So
if you're not going to do it, then I

a problem.

Do you want me to have a problem?

I'll do it, but next time I'll be in the
meeting you had before this meeting,

okay?

Don't worry about other meetings. If
this does not work, there will not be

meetings.

We've got to let it through.

Like what through?

Whatever comes in a Felix stone.

Are you taking the piss? It's a test, a
small load, and if it works, he'll do a

big load. And when I say a big load, I
reckon we're looking at the biggest

heroin importation this country's ever
seen.

That's what we're working towards, and
we need to make sure we get there.

So we let this one through, and we pick
it up somewhere down the line.

That's called importing drugs.

It's sort of the opposite of what we do.

You can get it on a boat into Felixstowe
by promising that it stays under

customs control, but it couldn't go
anywhere near the public. They're

me like a hawk.

We can't knock over this job without me
looking like customs, old Bill or

useless. Which of those options end well
for me? This is your job, son, to get

into situations like this and find ways
out of them.

So let me know when you've got a plan.

So how'd you end up in customs then?

I was a clever kid.

Bit full of myself too, if you can
believe that.

Yeah, I can believe that.

I wanted to go to university, but when I
went up there for the interview, I

couldn't go in.

I knew I didn't belong in that world and
I couldn't get past it.

But it was alright. My dad said, don't
worry.

You don't have to go there to do
something special with your life.

He said if I joined customs, I'd see the
world.

I reckon he was probably thinking of the
Navy, seeing as I ended up chasing

perverts round Essex.

Now, here I am.

Back in a world I don't belong in, but
this time I ain't going home.

Well, I'm glad one of us doesn't feel
out of their depth.

Of course I do.

This is bloody dangerous, and we're
just...

civil servants, Bailey.

But I reckon that knowing that and
knowing how hard we have to work it

just give us half a chance of getting
through it.

Let's hope you're right.

That sounded good.

Did that sound good?

That's everyone out that went in.

All the couriers and all the carter's
men.

You sure?

No. You sure that's going to work?

No.

Well then, I suppose we better find out
just how out of our depth we really are.

Take off.

It's a different code to get out.

Shit.

If we knew, you would have told us. I
know, but he's all we've got right now.

It's not a great time.

It's a different code to get out.

He told me to leave the door open.

It's a bit bloody late to tell us that
now.

OK, I'm on my way.

He's coming.

It's work.

No, it's not show.

That's the whole bloody problem.

What did he sound like?

Who? The bloke on the phone.

I don't know.

Middle Eastern?

Turkish. Maybe.

I could quit, if you want.

Don't be stupid.

We should move house.

We are not going anywhere.

I'll not have the two of you in danger.
We've been in danger since you started,

and we'll be in danger till you finish.
And that is not the kind of danger that

you get rid of by moving around the
bloody corner, Guy. Anyway, you're not

to talk about that.

Then why am I here?

I don't know.

This wasn't my idea.

This is unusual.

Don't get me wrong, there's not much in
this job you get away with describing as

normal, but this is unusual.

There isn't usually a wife, you see, or
husband, and that stuff can be quite

hard to manage.

People who do this stuff tend to be
unencumbered.

If they're not and I see it in the file,
I get shot at them. So you have to be

very good to get this far with that in
the file, and he is good, he's very

I mean, he's a pain in the arse, but
he's good. This is dynamite, by the way,

but what's that spice I'm tasting? Is
that nutmeg?

You know, don't you, about the phone
call? My point is, it's unusual to start

with and then there's you.

I mean, you're in the firm, that
happens.

They're romantic places, customs lanes.

But then I looked you up and that did
surprise me.

So I thought we'd better meet up, given
that you're OSA compliant.

That was a long time ago. It doesn't
matter if you're a baby at arms, love.

When you sign the Official Secrets Act,
that's you for life.

I did six months in investigations.

Nothing exciting.

And then we had our daughter.

So now I check suitcases.

But I don't want him doing that too.

He won't.

He'll have offered to quit, no doubt,
when he heard about the call, but I'm

you saw that for the bollocks it was.

It was a read -out from a public phone,
so they don't have your number, let

alone your address.

And so you know, I've had someone keep
an eye on this place, and it's all

But I'll tell you something, there'll
come a day when he needs you, and I can

see now that you'll deliver when that
day comes.

Is it cumin? Is that what I'm tasting?

Cumin? I'll do whatever's needed.

He's not quitting, and the pie's from
Tesco. So why don't you two stop pissing

about, finish your dinner, and get back
to work?

Yeah?

Please, top drawer.

Absolute uproar.

It's not happening.

You've locked the system.

We could call Don.

Is that how you want this job to end for
you? Is it locking yourself in a

building?

It'll end a lot worse if they find us
here.

Sean? Yeah?

You need to make a call.

So where are you from? Because it's not
from around here.

Don't tell me you've not looked that up.

I know where you were born, but that
doesn't tell me where you're from or

you're from.

Sains End.

Fulham. Old Fulham, the way it was.

What does that mean?

Shared toilets and violence.

So how did you end up out here?

I had a couple of brothers that died.

They were just babies. I was their big
brother and they died.

My mum.

Do you know why there's no tube station
at Sands End?

No. During the plague, they buried the
bodies in Sands End.

There were pits of bodies under the
houses.

My old man told me that when I was
young.

I don't know what he was thinking, but
he told me that.

We lived next to the cement factory, and
the dust didn't matter if you closed

every window.

It found a way in.

After my brothers died, I don't know if
Mum blamed the dust, but... ..he

started... ..scrubbing.

Every day, every night, I'd watch her

scrub our little flat.

I'd watch her paint.

And my old man knew he had to get her
out.

Away from the dust, away from...

my brothers, away from the bodies under
the house.

So we came out here.

And I was wild.

Feral.

But over time, the wildness got pushed
down.

And the pain got pushed down too.

There's always pain.

Doing what we do.

There's always pain behind it.

If I let this stuff back out, I don't
know if I can control it.

Yeah, but you'll do it anyway, because
you've got no choice.

Because you've finally found something
where you feel like you fit.

Something you can do that no -one else
can.

But you need to realise that this is the
rest of your life.

The work you're doing, the work I did,
it never leaves you.

The way you look at the world, the
paranoia, the fear, never goes away.

What did you do when you did this?

It doesn't matter what I did.

I can't be changed. I did what I did.

And it cost me what it cost me.

What matters is you need to do what I
couldn't.

You need to protect your legend, protect
yourself and protect your family. And

if any of that makes you want out, then
tell me now, because this is the only

time I'll ask.

I feel like I've been waiting my whole
life for this, Don.

I ain't stopping now.

Get some sleep, son.

Early start tomorrow.

Not much chance of that.

No? No.

The nights are hard.

The days aren't easy, but the nights are
hard.

I'll be shutting down half the bloody
dock. Do it.

Who the fuck are they? Put it back on.

It's not working. It needs to be set.

So put it on.

Somebody's been in.

Let me think.

Darlene.

Darlene.

What are you doing?

Come on, come on, come on.

Turn it off.

And show me how to turn it back on.

Did you sleep?

Yeah.

I lied to Don.

The six months in investigations, it was
exciting.

And if I got to do it properly, like you
are, I just... I imagine it's a whole

other world.

You're not just doing it for you.

I know.

He smokes then, does he?

He does.

But I'm not him.

I do.

What's going on?

Powerade.

Should be good now.

Check your wiring though, mate.

With these old buildings, the rats chew
through the cables.

Didn't know you had it in him.

I suppose the best go to work, then, eh?

You all right, mate?

Well, I'm knackered.

Me missus isn't happy.

I'm scared.

Pretty much all the time.

And doing this is actually costing me
money.

What with the petrol.

And?

And I'm loving every minute of it and I
don't want it to end.

Then don't get caught.

What time did you call this?

Sorry, Eddie.

It's traffic, mate.

This place is a mess. Get it sorted.

You're late.

Then you wait.

This is a lot for a test.

There are more.

You must find them.

It's not what we agreed.

These are Turkish apricots.

The greatest in the world.

They grow in Malatya.

My homeland.

A Khan's homeland.

A world you do not know.

A world where you do not belong.

Look.

Coffins.

What is this?

Spot checks.

They won't be coming here. They'd better
not.

Where's your SIO?

Pardon?

Pull them. Who the hell are you?

Investigations. We're running an
undercover operation.

You need to pull your spot checks.

I wasn't notified about that. That's why
it's called undercover now. Pull them.

I'm an SIO. You can't come here and tell
me what to do. No. I know a man who

can.

Yes? I'm at Felix Stoke Customs. You
need to tell him to pull the checks or

Guy's dead.

Put them on.

Who's this?

This is Angus Blake.

Pull your team now, or I'll have you
checking suitcases at Orkney Airport

tomorrow.

I found it, Ozeki.

They're going.

Lucky for you. No, Scott, fuck all that
will do with luck. I told you, I've got

this place sewn up.

Give it ten minutes before you leave and
I'll see you back at Greenland after

the drop. Senator will go with you. No,
he won't.

It's Hakan's order.

Fine.

Where are you?

Hiya, Todd.

Whatever you've done, there's a way out
of it.

Howdy, Todd.

You're coming home. Now.

I can't. It's not a fucking debate.

If Mum sees me like this, she'll never
recover.

I've not used for two days, and I won't
be using again.

I spoke to them.

Rehab.

They said they'll take me when I'm three
days clean.

Pick me up tomorrow, Dad. Take me in.

When Mum sees me, I'll be brand new.

Maybe I can speak to the army about the
AWOL. Fuck the army!

Just come and get me tomorrow, Dad.

Please.

I'll be here at the back of town.

And don't be looking like this.

Then I need to eat, Dad.

I love you, kid.

I... I fucking love you.

Love you, Dad.

Middle name. Sorry?

Well, you think they're irrelevant,
don't you, middle names? But they

have a legal purpose, which most people
wouldn't know about. What have you got?

Carter is the director of a number of
companies but uses his middle name and

registers them in the Isle of Man.

Turns out I can get into the Isle of Man
system by using the Customs and Excise

Act of 1979. You're going to have to do
a lot quicker than this, mate. One of

Carter's companies owns property in
Liverpool, which are mostly shops and

but there is something else. You got an
address for Carter?

I've got an address.

Whether or not he lives there is another
matter.

Go on.

5C, Dawson Park Apartments, Lord Street,
Liverpool.

Thanks, Erin.

Good luck.

It's making me sick from the
electricity.

Can't exactly hang around a flat the
same day.

Fine. You keep an eye on this place.

Cover entry's a two -person job. Then I
won't go in.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't be!

Your lad's out.

And we gave him the show he wanted.

Thanks, pal.

I owe you one.

We got the gear, too.

I tell you what, Don.

He's a bloody nutter, that one.

Yeah.

Yeah, he is.

Looks like Ian roasted off.

Yeah, gutted.

Do you remember his goals against
Benfica?

Yeah, I was there.

Get out of here.

You were there?

Yeah.

Yeah, my old man ran a bus from the
Royal Archipelago.

In the crockie?

Yeah.

I know you're from Boole.

Well, I am.

It's a long way from here, I'll have to
go for a bike then.

The ghost?

That's a shame.

Paul Rush.

Great player.

Yeah.

Great player.

I fucking told you that would happen.
That was amateur night, start to

finish. Watch your mouth.

First off, He's a liability. Keep him
away from me. Who do you think you're

talking to? See what I mean?

You let him speak to me like this,
Tarkhan?

How did the police know? Not from me.

I could have got 25 years for that shit
show.

Does Liverpool know about Felix Stowe?

No.

Well, there's something.

Next time we do it my way.

Or there won't be a next time.

You shouldn't have gone in.

We needed to know if he lives there.

Now we do.

And I needed to understand him. Now I
do.

Yeah. You have a rat in your house.

Tell me when you've caught it.

Carter.

I've made a couple of calls and there's
a problem.

That new lad that got on the van is not
who we said he was.

He's, uh, he had papers cut, like proper
parole papers.

He's got a name.

Okay.

Yeah. Look up his name.

Call me back when you know we are.

There was nothing anyone could have
done.

He was already dead when the paramedics
got there.

There will be a post -mortem.

What?

There were signs of recent heroin usage.

Stupid bastard.

Stupid little bastard.

How could he have done it?

He can keep this out the newspapers. We
know he's served his country.

And we will catch the scumbags that are
selling it.

I can promise you that.

We've got a start on us.

But the tide's turning.

We're working with communities now.

That'll be the priest.

Tell him we need him, Andy. Tell him we
need him now.

Hello? Get back here now.

I can't.

Get back here.

Boston just wants to fetch you.

Teddy McKee.

Yeah. 37 -5 -8, brown hair scouter.

That's him?

Yeah, he lives in Manchester, but it's
worse than that.

What? He gave evidence in a VAT trial in
Preston last year on

behalf of Majesty's Customs.

Listen, if it was serious, he wouldn't
be VAT. He wouldn't be Manchester, he'd

be London.

And if London Customs were working in
Liverpool, they'd have heard about it.

The dress.

45 Henkel Street, Henkels.

Carton Maitlis needs a customs officer.
You cannot...

We'll deal with you later.

That kid that Jeb brought in.

It's Manchester Customs.

They're coming. What?

Where? Here.

Come with us. Look, we've got to go.
What's going on? Just trust me. It won't

short. What is it?

It's okay, sweetheart.

We're just going on a little adventure.

Tell you what, let's get you and your
bunny in the car, all right? Mummy's

coming too, darling. Who are you? What
are you doing in my house? Please, come

with us. We're from Custon. Oh, it's you
lot then, is it? Telling him it's going

to be bloody James Bond. Please, come
with us. You're in danger.

Come on, come on, come on.

Shokum. They're here.

I said shokum.

If we'd had them nicked, they'd know
we're on them.

Just fucking catch them. We will.

What do we do now?

We need another way in.
