Okay.
Thank you.

Operation Damson
is an ongoing initiative

aimed at detection/prevention
of gangland murders.

Surveillance of a suspect
under Operation Damson

has been in place at an address
for less than 24 hours,

with intelligence sources
indicating a significant belief

the suspect is preparing to
commit a gangland execution.

The suspect is a known criminal
with a history of violence.

He is expected to be armed

and is designated
extremely dangerous.

Senior AFO
is Inspector McAndrew.

Sir.

You'll operate
out of four vehicles,

each crew to be positioned

on the suspect's possible routes
of travel,

awaiting gold commander's
orders to intercept.

Crew assignments

ROD: Where is he?!
Danny?!

HARI: Danny?!

[ Running footsteps ]

JACKIE:
Armed police!

Oh, shit.

Hari.
Hari, mate, he's down.

He refused to surrender
his firearm.

Jesus Christ,
look where the gun is.

How'd it get all the way
over there, Danny?

Brain injury, muscle spasm.
He chucked it.

Look at what it looks like,
though, Danny.

DANNY: Good point.

[ Police radio chatter ]

ROD: Hey, hey.
Danny, Danny.

-It was self-defense.
-[ Sirens wailing ]

But we all know
the shit I'll get for it.

-Skipper, wait.
-For Christ's sake!

You're making it worse.

I'm the last person wants to see
you lot in the shit.

-Us?
-We didn't do nothing.

DANNY:
That's the problem.

So I'll cover for you
and say we got here together,

shouted "armed police," but the
mad bastard pulled a gun.

What are you talking about?

He would have surrendered
if you'd have got here in time.

That's my report unless
the lot of you man up right now.

Discharge your weapons.

No way.

Shoot over the suspect's body,

in the direction
you'd have fired

if you'd have actually managed
to get here in time.

No.

Shoot now.

Shoot.

Shoot.

You choked.

Plausible.

ROD: Jesus!

[ Dogs barking ]

McANDREW:
Five Zero, status report.

Status report.

We're all in this together.

-Best way.
-[ Running footsteps ]

Is anyone hurt?

-We're fine, thanks, gov.
-[ Radio beeps ]

McANDREW: Suspect down.
Repeat, suspect down.

Stow your weapons.

Victor Charlie Four One

requesting forensic deployment
to the scene.

All AFOs and weapons
require transporting to base

for forensic recovery
of evidence and debrief.

-You sure you're okay?
-Fine.

Everyone did their job.

-[ Siren wails ]
-[ Indistinct talking ]

-Sir.
-Carry on.

-Sir.
-Carry on.

Sir.

Steve.

What do you reckon, son?
One for us?

Yeah.
One for us.

Sir.

As you were.

Forensics will take
your firearms,

gunshot-residue samples,
clothing, nail scrapings.

You are to remain at the station

until they advise they don't
need any further samples.

Sir.

You're all entitled
to 48 hours recovery time.

You'll all be offered
posttraumatic counseling.

My advice is to use
these 48 hours wisely.

Sir.

[ Engine starts ]

For the tape, please confirm
you are the officer

using the call sign
Victor Charlie Five One.

I am.

Document 2 in your folders.

This FA-1 was issued to AFOs
at South Ferry Police Station

on the day of 13th of May
of this year.

-Do you recognize that form?
-I do, sir.

Is that your signature?

-It is, sir.
-Mm-hmm.

ARNOTT:
According to the FA-1,

you were issued with
a Glock 17 service pistol

serial number
Mike November 8746546

and 9x19mm Parabellum rounds.

I was.

HASTINGS:
Now, can you inform us

as to how you personally became
involved in Operation Damson?

It was a real-time deployment
authorized by the SFC.

I traveled
in the second vehicle,

designated Victor Charlie
Five Zero,

crewed by myself
and the rest of my team.

The rest of your team are
AFO Victor Charlie Five Two,

AFO Victor Charlie Five Three,

and AFO Victor Charlie
Five Four.

We deployed
to a holding position

on one of four exit routes
for the suspect

and maintained radio contact
with the operational senior AFO.

For the tape, please confirm
this was an inspector

using the call sign
Victor Charlie Four One.

DANNY: Correct.

Victor Charlie Four One
notified me

that the suspect
was traveling towards us

and authorized us to carry out
a real-time intercept.

Real-time intercept.
Yeah.

Things get a wee bit fuzzy
for me here, Sergeant.

Maybe you could be a ray of
sunshine and burn off the fog.

Mm?

I'm waiting.

Sir, I'm waiting
for a question.

What the super's asking you
is how come,

as per the statement given
by Victor Charlie Four One,

you were ordered
to wait for support --

Not ordered.
Advised.

But you went ahead and carried
out the hard stop anyway.

The suspect was traveling
at high speed

to an unknown destination

with the intention of committing
a gangland execution.

-Or so the intelligence said.
-The intelligence did say.

And if that's wrong, sir,
take it up with them.

Can we please just stick
to a line of questioning

that relates to Victor Charlie
Five One's actions.

On you go, Sergeant.

It'll help if I refer to the map
in our folders.

Document 4.

Traveling at high speed
along Prince's Road,

the suspect approached
a line of parked cars

with open road ahead.

I was concerned
if we didn't carry out

the hard stop immediately,
the suspect would get away.

Oh, and that was your decision,
was it?

No, sir.

It was the decision of the
strategic firearms commander

who designated
the operational objective

of preventing the suspect

carrying out
an act of lethal force,

added to which,
as police officers,

it's a nonnegotiable duty
to protect the public.

May I answer
the question now?

HASTINGS: Please do.

Fearing the suspect
would get away

and pose a danger
to the public,

I took the decision
to close off his route of escape

by executing a hard-stop
maneuver on Prince's Road

that trapped
the suspect's vehicle

between ours
and the parked cars.

The suspect then made his escape
on foot via an alleyway,

and I gave chase.

This foot chase led to a
confrontation in Prince's Court.

We need you to tell us
all about this confrontation.

Once in Prince's Court,

almost immediately the suspect
realized he was cornered.

The suspect turned his weapon
on us and fired.

We returned fire.

Shots struck the suspect in the
head and proved instantly fatal.

We've received written
statements from yourself

and the other AFOs on your team.

Said statements agree you all
entered Prince's Court together.

Correct.

COTTAN:
See, the thing is,

we've got a statement off of
an eyewitness on Prince's Road.

Says that you entered
that rough ground

at least 30 seconds
before the rest of your team.

I was first out of our vehicle.

That would have misled
the eyewitness.

You're saying she's mistaken?

DANNY: I'm saying
that my written statement

and the written statements
of my team are accurate.

HASTINGS: Yes, they are.

And entirely consistent
in every detail.

You and your team,
you acted as one?

Correct.

COTTAN:
That's not always the case

with you and your teams, though,
is it?

In your four years
at South Ferry,

there's been a fair few
transfer requests from officers

who didn't want to
stay in your team.

DANNY:
Some guys can't cut it.

I want them off my squad.

To save face, they put in
for a transfer request.

ARNOTT: None of these officers
had a problem with you?

I've got high standards.

That's their problem.

So you all entered
Prince's Court together.

Yes, sir.

We were moving fast on foot

but I carried out
a rapid risk assessment,

noting there were no members
of the public

in immediate jeopardy.

I called, "Armed police."

The suspect turned his weapon
on us and opened fire.

I returned fire.
The suspect fell to the ground.

Immediate examination
of the suspect

by Victor Charlie Five Four

revealed serious wounds
to the head.

The suspect
had absent respiration,

and his pulse was also absent.

I secured his firearm.

A few moments later,

Victor Charlie Four One arrived
on the scene with her team

and assumed operational command.

You discharged your pistols,
not your G36s.

We confronted the suspect
in a confined space

bounded by hard surfaces.

Given the G36
has a muzzle velocity

of over 900 meters per second,

I identified a significant risk

our rounds
might pass through the suspect

and ricochet back at us,
causing injury.

No, we don't have an eyewitness
to the shooting,

but we do have
three ear witnesses.

Three independent ear witnesses.

Each ear witness claims to have
heard a group of gunshots

followed closely by what sounded
like a second group of gunshots

followed closely
by a single gunshot.

As per my written statement,

it's a matter of fact

that there was one shot
fired by the suspect,

immediately followed
by a group of shots

fired simultaneously by myself,

Victor Charlie Five Two,
and Victor Charlie Five Three.

HASTINGS:
These independent ear witnesses

would seem to contradict
said "fact."

DANNY: It's an accepted
and well-recognized

acoustic phenomenon

that an ear witness
can be deceived

by up to six different sounds

associated with
a single gunshot.

Document 6 in your folders.

Forensic report
regarding Operation Damson.

Gunshot residue from the
discharge of a Glock 17 pistol

was detected on the hands
and clothing of the following --

Victor Charlie Five One,

Victor Charlie Five Two,

Victor Charlie Five Three.

They all discharged
their weapons.

No one's disputing that.

A Colt 1911 A1 pistol was found
in the suspect's right hand.

Gunshot residue from the
discharge of this firearm

was detected on the suspect.

Gunshot residue from the Colt

was also detected
on Victor Charlie Five One.

Are you able to explain
this finding...

...Victor Charlie Five One?

DANNY: I secured
the suspect's firearm,

causing secondary transfer
of residue

after the firearm
had been discharged.

This explains the high
concentration of residue.

Does it?

The concentration
and distribution

are more characteristic
of a gunman than a bystander.

Caused when
I secured the firearm.

You expect us to believe that?

At a distance of approximately
five meters from the suspect,

there was a small concentration

of gunshot residue
found on the ground.

Said gunshot residue
matched the suspect's firearm.

How do you account for this?

The suspect was in motion

as he turned his firearm
towards my team.

He covered a short distance

between raising the gun
and firing it.

There's gunshot residue on the
ground where the body was found.

That's where he fired the gun.

Why is there gunshot residue
five meters away, as well?

My colleague
has answered the question.

Did the gun ever lie
in a position on the ground

five meters from the suspect?

No, it did not.

HASTINGS: Steve?

Document 11.

Postmortem result.

Three bullets were recovered
from the head wounds

and were identified
as 9x19mm Parabellum rounds

fired by a Glock 17 pistol
issued to

Authorized Firearms Officer
Victor Charlie Five One.

COTTAN: Three shots.

Oh, you made sure,
didn't you, Sergeant?

Victor Charlie Five One
regrets the loss of life.

But I don't need to
remind everyone

that he was
an authorized firearms officer

acting on the lawful orders of
a strategic firearms commander.

-ARNOTT: You regret killing him?
-MARLEY: As I've said --

I'm asking
Victor Charlie Five One.

Victor Charlie Five One
has the right to be interviewed

by an officer
at least one rank superior.

Did you regret killing him,
Victor Charlie Five One?

-I regret the loss of life.
-Three shots, fella!

Standard practice is to aim
at the maximum body mass,

the chest.

Why head shots?

I was 10 meters away
in good visibility.

The shots
were highly achievable.

Standard practice
is double-tap the trigger,

discharging shots in pairs.

Not two shots, not four.

He collapsed after the third
shot, so I ceased fire.

Yeah, right.
You shot him down like a dog.

Sir, your language
is inflammatory.

Yeah.

ARNOTT: You'd prefer
only to have wounded him?

DANNY:
We don't shoot to wound.

We shoot to neutralize
the lethal threat.

You were the only AFO
to strike the target.

Yes.
That's what happ--

HASTINGS:
Listen to me, son.

We weren't born yesterday.

You shot that fella
in cold blood

while your wee mates
stood by and watched.

I shot first and the others
fired a fraction later,

by which time
the suspect had collapsed,

and their shots missed.

You saw all that
in a fraction of a second?

I've never been
to this building before.

You saw me
walk into this interview room,

sit down
in a matter of a few seconds.

Over my left shoulder are
three rows of open-plan desks

in front of a glass partition

dividing the open-plan area
from a private office,

range 20 meters.

Seated at the desks
are seven personnel

comprising four males
and three females.

Over my right shoulder

is a longitudinal partition
at chest height,

beyond which is gate-controlled
access, range 20 meters.

Entrance and exit
to this floor level

are via key-controlled lifts

adjacent to the waiting area
at my four o'clock position,

range 35 meters.

Why the second shot?
Why the third?

The first shot was fatal.

HASTINGS:
Why did you keep firing?

Were you losing it out there,
fella?

I cite under common law my
lawful right to use lethal force

for preservation of life
or in self-defense

where this threat
is immediate.

Yes, and in response
I cite Section 117

of the Police
and Criminal Evidence Act,

the use of reasonable force.

And for the tape
the emphasis is mine

and not contained in the act.

That's an easy argument
from behind a desk, sir.

From behind this desk, Sergeant,
we uphold standards,

standards you're expected
to meet

as a serving police officer.

Do you recognize
the man in this image?

I object in the strongest
possible terms.

Victor Charlie Five One's
been involved

in an extremely tragic
and distressing incident,

and this line of inquiry
is offensive and insensitive.

Your man doesn't strike me
as the, uh, sensitive type.

Are you?

Am I what?

Sensitive.

In your personnel file, there's
no recorded next of kin.

Wife? Fiancée?

This line of questioning has
no bearing on the investigation.

We don't know that yet.

I'm single.

The suspect
was an armed criminal

with a history of violence

posing an immediate and credible
threat to the public.

In respect of Operation Damson,

on May 13th
the strategic firearms commander

authorized the use of firearms.

Under Section 3
of the Criminal Law Act 1967,

I am also entitled
to use such force

as is reasonable
in the circumstances

to prevent crime.

And under Section 117

of the Police
and Criminal Evidence Act 1984,

I am entitled to use
reasonable force

in the exercise
of police powers.

Under common law,

I have the lawful right
to use lethal force

for preservation of life
or in self-defense

where this threat
is immediate.

At no time
has anyone in this room

put forward credible evidence
that I acted unlawfully,

and therefore
I formally request

that my withdrawal
from operational deployment

be lifted and my firearms
permit be reinstated

so I can get back to doing
what I do best!

This investigation
is far from over, son.

As far as I'm concerned, we've
only just scratched the surface.

Request denied.
Interview terminated.

Off you go.

Desk duty only.

[ Button clicks ]

[ Door opens ]

Danny, don't do this.

What was that?
My personal life?

What was that?

-Nothing personal.
-No?

Interview's finished, Danny.

-I'm not.
-ARNOTT: Good.

Neither are we.

SAM:
There isn't a bomb under it.

But there ought to be.

Fortunately I booked a table.

Somewhere
ridiculously expensive.

Well, I guess
I had that coming.

I'm so sorry.
I forgot...

All right.

Then what am I...

...supposed to do with these?

Happy anniversary.

[ Panting ]

[ Retching ]

MAN: Come on! Come on!
Let's go! Let's go!

Victor Charlie Two Zero,
on our way.

McANDREW: Victor Charlie
Two Zero, received.

[ Engines starting ]

[ Tires screech ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct talking,
telephone ringing ]

It's all right, mate.
You leave it to us, yeah?

Oi.

You gonna tell us how it went
with AC-12?

You first.

We stuck to the story, mate.

JACKIE: Not that you gave us
much of a choice.

-So we all stuck to the story.
-[ Door opens ]

-All right?
-All right.

[ Door closes ]

They'll go through the motions,
hit a brick wall, case closed.

All the time you just want us
to play along?

It's worked so far.

-So far.
-What's your problem?

My problem...

My problem

is what really happened
with you and that suspect.

Don't try playing the big man.

We both know
you're not up to it.

She definitely does.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

[ Knocks ]

All right to come in
with the gaffer a minute?

Sure.

Kate. Thanks.

We're just discussing
the Daniel Waldron shooting.

Is there
an undercover assignment?

Look, can I just say,
this feels like a long shot.

Kate was kept
out of the interview on purpose

to give us this option.

We should use it.

Remind me, Kate --
Are you firearms trained?

Yes, sir, I am.

The statements
given by Waldron's team

are all highly consistent.

That's not suspicious in itself.

What else are they gonna do,

given 48 hours
to get their stories straight?

ARNOTT: Look, the question is
whether Waldron's story adds up

and whether his squad's
really as loyal as they appear.

The only way to get the inside
story is with Kate on the case.

Putting Kate into an AFO role

is a whole level of jeopardy
above a normal undercover --

I can handle it.

[ Rock music playing ]

It's kind of a regular thing,
first Wednesday or every month.

You all right?
Lets off a bit of steam.

-I'm in.
-What can I get you?

Oh, no.
My shout, gov.

Is the right answer.
Vodka and tonic. Big one.

Coming up.

The new AFO.
Kate, um...

Kate Francis.

All right?

Everyone all right
for a drink?

Yeah, I've got one here.
Thanks.

You've got to be kidding me.

All right?

Relax, mate.
Off duty.

You don't normally do
the monthly piss-up.

Bit of bonding
felt like a good idea.

No one gonna buy me a drink?

What you having, skipper?

Mineral water.
Still.

Ta.

How are you doing, then?
You all right?

Fine. You?

Yeah, I'm good, yeah.

I think I best give Jackie
a hand with them drinks.

McANDREW: Danny.

DANNY:
Evening, ma'am.

Meet Kate Francis.
Kate, Danny Waldron.

-You all right?
-How you doing?

-Thanks for the drink, Kate.
-That's all right.

-See you in a bit.
-Yep.

You're new, then?

Yeah, I got posted while, um...

While I've been
chained to a desk.

Sorry.

They give you the firepower,

but when you actually do
what's necessary,

suddenly you're a pariah.

[ Chuckles ]

Where are you posted from?

East Mids.

[ Laughs ]

You know what, Jackie?
I think I best call it a night.

Laila ain't sleeping too good,
you know?

Can't say I blame you, mate.

-See you in a bit.
-See you.

-Would you excuse me?
-Yeah, of course.

Hari.

You sure
everything's all right?

Yeah, it's fine, yeah.

It's just the missus ain't
sleeping too good, you know?

Why do I get the feeling
you're not 100% on board?

I am.

I'm going home so Laila
can grab an early night, yeah?

You need me to make
the hard choices for you.

Because I see
what's inside you.

Jelly.

The fact is,
if we'd not stuck together,

AC-12 would be charging
the lot of us, not just me.

Worth bearing in mind

when you've got that nice
little family to provide for.

Love to Laila.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Danny.

Rachel.

Big night out?

Just a quiet one
with workmates.

Your workmates?

Yeah.

Would it be okay
if I bought you another drink?

Yeah.
That would be okay.

Dry white wine?

Very good.

Great.

This is me.

It was
really nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Can I kiss you?

-That was nice.
-Very nice.

-Can I get your phone number?
-Sure.

What's yours?

It's 07700 922621.

Okay.

Here's mine.

-[ Cellphone chimes ]
-Got it.

Thank you.

-Night, Rachel.
-Night.

Listen, Hari, can I talk to you
about something?

In the pub,
I couldn't help noticing

you and Danny.

Is he giving you a hard time?

When hasn't he?
But that's just what he's like.

But you all stood by him
after he killed a suspect.

Did it really happen
the way you all said it did?

My advice to you is don't ask.

I don't think you've got
any idea what he's capable of.

Not a clue.

Kate.

Danny Waldron's squad.

If anyone's got a wobble,
it's Hari Bains.

Received.

Suspect turned his gun on us,
and we returned fire.

The suspect, he discharged his
weapon, and we returned fire.

COTTAN:
Well, would it be easier

for you to tell us
who fired first?

The suspect fired his pistol
at us,

and we fired back at him.

HASTINGS: But you didn't,
did you, Constable?

No, sir.
No. Uh...

Well, the suspect had already
taken fire to the head

and he went down.

HASTINGS: So, what,
you hesitated? Is that it?

No, sir.

No, it just all felt like
it happened in the same moment,

you know, the suspect firing
and then him being taken down.

ARNOTT: Why was there
a patch of gunshot residue

from the suspect's firearm
five meters away from his body?

It must have been
the suspect was moving

from one position to the other
as he fired.

HASTINGS: "Must have"?

I mean, he -- he was.

He was moving when he fired.

ARNOTT: We know it's not easy,
being confined to desk duty.

COTTAN: Particularly if
you're the only one

who didn't open fire.

Well, I didn't choke,
if that's what you mean.

No one said you choked.

Yeah, well, you're AC-12.

You're always looking
for an angle, aren't you?

We appreciate
there's trust issues.

And no one wants to seem like

they're telling tales
on their own.

But no one wants to let a bent
copper off the hook either.

Look, we've read your record.

You're an honest copper.

This is bothering you,
Harinderpal.

Hari.

It's bothering you, Hari.

A lot.

Look, I told Waldron
to let the suspect go.

We were in pursuit.

I mean, like the bloke's
still gonna carry out a hit

with half the force
on his tail.

What, you knew Waldron was out
of control,

and you tried to deter him?

No, I never said
he was out of control.

COTTAN:
Well, what are you saying?

You followed Danny Waldron's
script to the letter.

Except for one moment.

The little patch
of gunshot residue

that was nowhere near where
the suspect's gun was found.

See what I mean?

You act like every copper's bent
till he's proven otherwise.

-But I'm clean.
-COTTAN: Prove it.

Tell us what really happened.

Why was there so much
gunshot residue

from the suspect's firearm
on Waldron?

What did he really do when
he claimed he was securing it?

I can't do this.

[ Clears throat ]
I'm sorry. I can't do this.

There's...

There's no way I'm testifying
against Danny Waldron.

[ Engine starts ]

Hari Bains
is damned if he does,

damned if he doesn't,
poor bugger.

We'll be able to compel him,
I'm sure, sir.

If we can get to threshold,

he'll go with the flow
to save his own neck.

We're a long way
from threshold yet, though.

I've really got to go now.
Talk later. Bye.

-Gill.
-Sorry.

The Police Federation
are pushing back

against Danny Waldron's
treatment.

I got an e-mail
from their lawyer

that was three pages long.

They want him operational again

and his firearms permit
reinstated

unless you can show
there's substantive suspicion

of crime and/or misconduct

and/or endangerment
of public trust.

Yeah, well, we've got them all.

You don't have
endangerment of public trust,

as Operation Damson
remains unreported in the press

as per
a legal suppression order.

So, what have you actually got

regarding crime
and/or misconduct?

There's a strong suspicion

Danny Waldron was adjacent
to the suspect

when the suspect's firearm
went off

and that Waldron
moved the firearm

before forensics
got to the scene.

Yeah, I've listened
to the tape.

You all did your best.

But Waldron deals plausibly
with all your areas of inquiry.

And his team's statements
back him up.

Well, we interviewed one of his
team, P.C. Harinderpal Bains,

who we strongly suspect

is detachable from
Waldron's version of events.

Is he on the record?

No, ma'am, but...

I'm a civilian.
It's Gill or Miss Biggeloe.

So he's not on the record.

No, but we have
an officer undercover

probing for weaknesses
in the team's statements.

Has she found any?

Well, not yet,
but she's only just started.

So she hasn't.

Look, I've seen enough
bent coppers in my time

to know when one of them
is hiding something.

You know why
I've been appointed.

To ensure
that anticorruption inquiries

don't get pulled apart in court
to everyone's embarrassment.

HASTINGS: Yeah, well,
we'd all be severely embarrassed

if Daniel Waldron manages

to pull something like this
off again.

We are protecting the public,

and sometimes that means
we have to protect them

from our own officers.

Legally this case is weak,

and juries don't convict police
officers for killing suspects.

I've got no option
but to recommend

that Waldron and his team
return to active duty

and that their firearms permits
are reinstated.

What, she running
our investigations now?

Search of premises
for Class A drugs.

Residents are known
to be in possession,

have access to firearms.

Good to be back.

Armed police!

Armed police!

Jacks, you, Rod, and Hari
secure these rooms.

Kate, with me.

Go. Go.

Armed police!

Armed police!

Armed police!

All clear.
Check the landing.

Kate, check in with the others.

-[ Radio beeps ]
-Victor Charlie Five Five.

-ROD: Five Two.
-Status?

Still checking.

Move. Move.

Armed police!

[ Wings flapping ]

-No!
-[ Gasps ]

Check your safety.
Stand down.

-[ Radio beeps ]
-Get the search team in here.

And we need an ambulance
and social services.

HARI: Yes, skipper.

It's all right.
No one's gonna hurt you.

Good boy.

-[ Boy babbling ]
-It's all right.

How old are you, eh?

[ Boy crying ]

Hi, it's me.

Yeah, fine,
just I'll be busy later.

I just wanted to get him
before he went to bed.

Thanks.

Hi, sweetheart.
Have you had a nice day?

Have you?

Oh, that's lovely.

MAN:
Sergeant Waldron.

Kate.

There's no easy way
to say this.

This isn't gonna work.

Look, nobody feels worse
about what happened --

what nearly happened --
than I do.

I decide who's right
for my team --

no one else --
who can cut it and who can't.

It's nothing personal.
You're just not up to the job.

I messed up, but I'll learn.

-I don't give in, skipper.
-Neither do I.

Best you put in for a transfer.

Save me having to turn nasty.

Sorry.

Don't be.
It's a free country.

Here you are.

Here you go.

So you worked
with Jackie long?

Couple of years, on and off.

And Danny?

Bit less.

I don't get the impression
there's much love lost.

Sorry, Kate.
Sorry, listen, I'm just...

Just not feeling
very sociable right now.

Yeah, no worries.

All right?

Right. I better get in.
See you in a bit.

Look, I'm sorry.

-What else can I say to you?
-What else can you say?

How do you think I feel
right now?

Just ignore him.

Ignore him?
Are you taking the piss?

ARNOTT: Thanks.

Finally.

Is that the file on the suspect
shot by Waldron?

Yeah.

What?

We need an unredacted file.

Leave it to me.
I'll crack some heads together.

[ Panting ]

[ Spits ]

You shouldn't be here.

That only applies
if we're investigating you.

-You're off the hook.
-What do you want?

You didn't know the suspect?

No.

Not heard a rumor about him,
heard the name?

You need to caution me
before you can ask that.

Like this is on the record.

I just want to know
the truth.

The file on Ronan Murphy.

The suspect's name.

Large sections were redacted.

If there's something
bigger here, Danny,

you don't want to be the one
left carrying the can.

Do you run, Steve?

I don't have to.
No one's chasing me.

I do.

Miles, some nights.

Tens of miles.

It gets
so every part of me hurts.

But the one thing I know is,

you keep going through the pain,
because if you stop,

it's gonna hurt a whole lot more
to get started again.

When this is all done, Steve,
I'll suffer for my actions.

I'm under no illusions
of an happy ending.

But I ain't gonna stop.

Danny.

One thing we both know.

Easiest way to get away
with killing someone?

Be a police officer.

[ Doorbell rings ]

WOMAN:
[ Speaking indistinctly ]

[ Dog barking ]

See you.

Come on. Do you want to
have a go with the light?

Press the button.
Press the button for Daddy.

Won't be long before you're
driving yourself, will it?

-Vroom, vroom.
-It'll be a few years yet.

Have a good day.

-Yeah, see you.
-See you later.

Hari.

Ma'am.

You all right, Hari?

Yeah,
I'm fine, thanks, gov.

I'm concerned about

the interpersonal dynamics
on the unit.

So I'm gonna
disband Danny's squad.

Well, what did Danny have to say
about that?

He won't be the problem.

The problem will be getting AFOs
to work with him.

I know
he's not the easiest skipper,

but he's good at his job.

I'm learning loads from him,
so I'd rather keep at it.

-Seriously?
-Yeah.

If you move us on now, ma'am,

then it looks like we messed up,
doesn't it?

And we didn't.

MINISTER:
Man that is born of a woman

hath but a short time to live
and is full of misery.

He cometh up, and is cut down,
like a flower.

He fleeth as it were a shadow,

and never continueth
in one stay.

Let us pray.

Here you are, girl.
Oh, there's a good dog.

[ Bell dings ]

Don't remember me?

-No.
-No?

Nor did the man
that you buried.

-[ Metal clanks ]
-[ Barking ]

[ Whimpering ]

Get down.

Sit.

Every time you don't do
what I say, it gets worse.

You'll sit, all right?

But first...

...you'll take off
all your clothes.

I never knew his name.

Not really.

We did have a name for him,
though.

So many years, I wondered what
I'd do if I ever saw him again.

And then I did.

In a photo,
in a briefing room.

And I was being sent
to meet him with a gun.

Before you ask [Sniffles]
this isn't the one.

Illegal, untraceable.

No problem
with using it on you.

So who was he to you?

Nephew.

[ Sniffles ]

I never knew that there was
a family connection.

We had a name for you too.

Do you want to know
what it was?

Do you want to know
what it was?

[ Laughing ]

[ Crying ] Fuck.

[ Thud ]

[ Groans ]

The only thing with Ronan --
It was over too fast.

But I've got you
to make up for that.

Here you go.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sobs ]

[ Telephone rings ]

Sergeant Waldron.

[ Sirens wailing ]

McANDREW:

-Kate, stay put.
-I'm good to go up.

You lot go up.

Back-to-back on 2.

Stay on 1.

You really
gonna be like this?

You had your chance
to make this painless.

In the morning
I'm telling McAndrew

to bump you off the squad.

HARI:
Victor Charlie Five One.

-Five One.
-Five Four.

You better come up here,
skipper.

On my way.

Don't move a muscle.

[ Gunshot ]

Who else is up there?!

No one!
I told you!

Shot fired, Five Five.
No further information.

Shot fired!

McANDREW:
Victor Charlie Four One.

What's going on?

Shit!

-Five Five, report.
-[ Man moaning ]

Any call sign, request urgent
sit rep on shot fired.

[ Indistinct radio chatter ]

[ Gasping ]

Victor Charlie Five Five, status
zero, officer seriously wounded.

What happened?

DANNY: [ Gasping ]

We understand we have a status
zero on one of our officers.

Stay with me, Danny!
Stay with me!

Urgent medical attention
required.

-[ Gasping ]
-What's he saying?

-DANNY: [ Gasping ]
-ROD: What's he saying?

We have an officer down.

Stay with me, Danny. Danny.
Danny!
