Police, what's your emergency?

There's been a break-in in my house.

-Okay. -Yeah,

there was a man, and he--

Alright, are you alone?

No, no, no, my husband's here

-and my friend-- -Okay, okay,

is the intruder still in the house?

No, no, I mean yes, yes.

-Yes, he's-- -Okay, I need you

to try and stay calm.

Can you give me your address, please?

It's 12, Henlake Road, Chibnall Drive.

Right, I know the house,

-just above the beach, yes? -Yes!

-Alright. -But the man, I--

Getting someone out to you right now.

No, no, but the man who's in my house--

Do you need an ambulance?

-I think he's... -Is he injured?

-Is anyone injured? -He was attacking my husband!

-Okay, okay, it's okay. -And, I...

Right, take a deep breath for me, can you?

Can you do that for me?

-He tried to-- -That's it.

-A car's on its way.

No, no, no.

I'm not saying you're racist if you voted leave.

Send them back where they came from?

Can we talk about something else, please?

Not all leave voters are racist,

-but if you are racist-- -Sam.

You're very likely to have voted leave!

What a load of old nonsense.

It's fact, Ron.

All the surveys bear out the fact,

you have leave one side, you have racism the other,

and there they meet.

We could hit one of the others.

Nah.

This is the one.

Half an hour.

Yeah.

Yeah, they'll be asleep.

Well, that's it, that's all I can say.

Come on, I have to get my excitement

wherever I can find it these days!

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

I've got some gossip for you.

Yeah? What's that?

Local police chief's corrupt.

And he lives down the road, as well.

Oh!

What's it like being married to a real journalist, eh?

Christ, it's like she's Clark Kent

and you're Lois Lane!

Yeah, well, punching above my weight.

You know, at uni I used to have to ask girls out for him.

You still owe me, man.

Oh, that's not true though, actually, Ron.

-It is true. -No, it's not true!

Too much time reading comics

and playing with his little men!

Little men, or little men?

Those little Game of Thrones, Harry Potter,

Lord of the Rings sort of things

while the rest of us were all learning

how to drink and pull.

That's not true!

Did you play with Dungeons and Dragons? That's adorable.

Of course he did, can't you tell by the face?

Look at that furrowed brow.

That is the face of the modern male,

I mean, that's why the sperm counts are dropping off.

-Jesus! -There, look, come on now.

Let me give you a massage, one of my special ones.

I don't want one of your special massages!

Yeah, yeah, no, no, fully consenting,

-only if you're consenting. -No, thank you.

Look, your shoulders are up around your ears.

Okay, alright, the hell with it.

Come on. Jesus.

1999 all over again.

See you later, guys.

-Bye, thank you! -Bye!

Bye, see you at work.

How is she?

Out cold.

Couldn't drag out of her what's wrong.

It's probably some married man

she hasn't told me about yet.

Listen, I'm zonked.

I'm gonna pass out.

I'll be down in a sec.

Just gonna do a little bit of work.

Don't come to bed while you're still buzzing.

Just give it a bit.

Hey!

Hey!

No!

Ah, fuck, no!

Hey!

Sam?

Sam!

Becca?

I was just...

I was just trying...

-Oh! -Oh, God!

We need an ambulance.

Ambulance.

I'll go.

No, no, no!

No. No.

Becca, I stabbed him.

He needs help.

-I know! -He needs help.

I know, but...

Sam, he needs help!

He's dead.

He's dead!

Well, we're okay.

That's the main thing.

We need to call the police.

No, wait.

Wait.

Let's just think things through, okay?

Think things through?

We need to call the police.

No.

No, we're not doing that, okay?

Let me just think.

Please, Becca, just give me a second.

We need to get our story straight, okay?

We had a man invade our house

and you were defending yourself.

I stabbed him in the back.

-Sam-- -As he was trying to escape.

-No, but, but-- -He didn't attack me!

I'm calling the police.

No!

Not yet.

We will.

Of course we will call the police.

Just sit.

Becca, please.

Please just sit.

Sit.

We will call the police.

When they arrive, we tell them that we were burgled

and I was trying to defend myself, yes?

-Yes, of course! -Yes.

So we can't let them see the body where it is.

That he was halfway out the window

and I pulled him back and I stabbed him.

Because that's not self-defense, that's murder.

We've all seen the cases, it's clear.

-No, no-- -It's clear!

-No, no it must be okay -Jesus Christ!

to yourself in your own house!

Yeah, but it wasn't self defence!

He was halfway out the window!

He's right.

You're only allowed to use force if you're in danger

or you think you're in danger.

I mean, I don't know, I only did law for six months.

We could Google it.

Or we could call Ben, Ben's a criminal lawyer.

No one's calling anyone

and no one's Googling the fucking law!

Sorry.

Okay, Becca, Becca,

just hear me out.

I'll take the weight.

Jesus!

Where did you get the knife?

What? Shed.

We've had it ages.

It was in my dad's toolbox,

he gave it to us years ago.

Okay.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Helping.

I woke at 3:15.

Sorry. I can't remember exactly.

Then I realised that I'd heard glass smash.

I suppose they thought the house was empty.

I came out of my room and saw

that the front door was open

and there was glass on the mat.

And there was just the one intruder?

Yes.

I didn't know what to do.

So I grabbed the knife.

I...

It's alright.

Well, he slashed at Sam's face.

I didn't have any choice.

He'd have killed Sam otherwise.

I put the knife in him.

Wait, wait!

I put my hand up to protect myself.

He slashed me.

That's been a break in at my house!

Yeah, there was a man and he...

I, no, no, no.

My husband's here and my friend.

Okay.

No, no, I mean, yes, yes, he's...

Like I said, this is just a brief statement.

We'll take a fuller, more detailed account

down at the station.

Yes, of course.

Right.

Once next of kin have been contacted...

Karen Bailey, FLO.

Ma'am.

Mr and Mrs. Hickey?

I'm Karen Bailey.

I'm your family liaison officer.

It's my job to liaise with families of victims.

I'm not an investigating officer

but I will be the officer who talks to the family

of the young man who lost his life.

In a case like this, well,

you are the victims as well.

You'll be going down to the station soon

but in the meantime, I just,

well, I want you to know that if you need anything,

and I mean anything, you just give me a call.

Who was he?

His name was Syed.

Syed Khalil.

You know.

Once we're at the station.

Yes.

Alright. Thanks very much.

Hi, mum.

Yes.

Well, sort of, well, very.

I'm at work.

Hang on.

What are you doing up? Get back to bed!

Couldn't you?

Did it?

Well, are you doing the exercises

the doctor gave you?

Right.

Look, mum, I'm gonna have to go.

Yeah.

Yeah, I love you too.

Bye.

He was stronger than he looked, you know.

I came in and the man,

he was on top of Sam.

He pushed him down and,

a lamp was over.

And he just seemed to be...

I mean, maybe he was on drugs

or just the adrenaline or something, you know?

He had the knife in his hand.

And the man was on top of him, and

I saw he had a knife.

I was aware of Rebecca coming in and--

Becca tried to haul him off

but he was just too strong.

And I just instinctively reached

for the knife on the table.

And I...

I just, I just needed to get him off my husband.

He was like an animal.

My main role is to be

the sole point of contact for you and your family.

I'm not an investigator,

but I can enable information

that can be shared to assist the investigation.

Mr. Khalil, I wondered if you could talk me through

the last time that you saw Syed.

Mr. Khalil?

He was always out every night.

Driving me crazy with worry.

And I just wanted to make sure

he wasn't going to waste the whole day.

He was supposed to be looking

at university prospectuses.

So I shouted at him to get up.

I shouted at him.

Mr. Khalil.

Syed's body has already been released.

So it is possible to proceed with the--

Why so soon?

It's possible that it was assumed

that a prompt burial might be a priority for you.

Because we're a Muslim family?

No.

The priority is for you to find out

what happened to my son.

Of course.

And there will be a thorough investigation.

But we see no problem in releasing the--

There's no problem waiting if it's a suspicious death.

Mr. Khalil, your son's death,

it's not being looked on as suspicious.

That is not a word we're using in this case.

You said my son was attacking the man?

Attacking him?

Yes.

No.

My son wouldn't do that.

That's not my son!

Here it is.

Local teenager dies during break-in.

Syed Khalil, a local resident died

after a break-in to a house along the Becksfield Coast.

A police statement said the death

was not being treated as suspicious.

Is that it?

Well, I think so.

No, there's nothing else

-coming up.

Just a minute!

Sam? Becs?

It's Ben.

Hi. Sorry I'm a bit early.

I've got some caffeine,

and I think some good news.

Well, it means you can move back in

this evening for one thing.

But more importantly, it means that SOCO,

sorry, forensics basically,

haven't found anything untoward at the scene.

And that means that any court proceedings are a formality.

Now I'm not gonna drown you in the details,

but here's the relevant, this is the amendment

to Section 76 of the Criminal, here we go.

The degree of force is not to be regarded

as having been reasonable

if it was grossly disproportionate

in those circumstances.

Now the magistrate is gonna be forced to conclude

that you did use reasonable force

because one of you was literally under attack,

and it would be reasonable for you to assume

that you could've been injured or even killed,

at which point the rest of the Act kicks in

and it's totally on your side.

Yes?

All okay?

Yes, delivery's just come in.

Good.

Now, the other night there was a bit of bad business

that might come back to bite us in the arse.

A break-in, one of the big houses up above the caves.

Papers said the lad attacked them.

Yeah, well.

Don't believe half of what you hear

and none of what you read.

He might not have been alone,

that's what I've heard.

Anyway.

Anything comes up your end,

you be sure to let me know.

We'll brief the callers not to mention it.

You know the drill.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Okay, good man.

It's just science, it really is.

Have you read the CDC guidelines on vaccinations?

No, but what I'm saying is--

No, I thought not.

Margaret, stay on the line, don't hang up.

You said there, it's just science.

Now, science is the process of looking at

and evaluating evidence.

We can't say whatever we like is science.

We know what we know because people, experts...

Experts in a given field

evaluate evidence and draw conclusions based on it.

We are gonna have to go to the news and sports now

but, Margaret, don't go away,

let's pick this up afterwards.

Sam Hickey on London Chat Radio.

LC--

It's almost an open secret.

A local drug distribution ring,

it's not even a ring,

it's almost a one man operation.

A...

A local farmer called Fitzgerald

and a few associates.

Police Chief...

Warren.

Warren, yes.

He's at the heart of it

and I don't know how many more...

Rebecca's has been through it all with me.

The source is completely solid.

-Obviously we need to-- -Sorry.

-Run it by-- -I'm sorry.

By legal, but I think we could run it in next week's...

Sorry, I'll just.

-Okay. -Take your time.

Becs?

Hey.

Oh, God.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, God.

Thank God for you, Angela.

You've been so great.

Hey. I'll do that.

You get some sleep.

By the way,

have you seen my laptop?

You tidied it into the snug before the party.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know, but it's not here.

Well, maybe you left it at work?

Yeah.

Okay, yeah, I'll be down in a sec.

There's a car outside.

Been there since we came back.

We'll be okay.

I'm gonna try and sleep.

Yeah.

Who's texting you at this time?

It's...

Who is it?

It's just mum and dad.

I should probably call them, really.

It's almost one.

Well, they're obviously still up.

I said I'd call them yesterday

after the police thing, but I forgot.

What are you doing?!

What do you want?

I'm just calling to check if you're okay.

Tell me what this is about!

Well, it's just all been so horrible.

I can't even imagine what it's been like for you.

But in a way,

this could be a good thing.

Why would it be a good thing?

I keep thinking of us walking along the beach.

I remember you saying how wonderful it was.

I remember.

What we had was amazing, you said so yourself.

What are you doing, Angela?

Why don't you come over tomorrow?

And we can talk about the future.

What? You know that's ridiculous!

Great, so I'll see you at seven.

Angela!

Angela!

How were they?

Oh.

Fine, yeah.

Worried.

I said I'd call them tomorrow.

Hey, hey, hey.

We're gonna be okay.

Oh, Sam, Sam, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

We'll be okay.

You do what you have to do.

Well, it's important. Find the guy, I get the laptop back.

If the police started looking into your case too much,

it would lead them to look into all kinds of dark corners.

Are you threatening me?

They're doing nothing and you know it.

You have to follow this up.

My son would never break into a house

unless someone lead him on.

Well, she just seemed really, really curious.

I reckon all she'd need

is a nudge in the right direction.

I know you're in there!

You will not ruin my life!

You will not ruin my marriage!

Angela!

I helped you fake evidence!

-I did it! -Shut up!

You're holding a fucking grenade

and if you pull the pin, you'll blow up too!

I always wondered about really bad people.

Are they born knowing they're bad?

Or do they grow up thinking

they're just like everybody else?

Reasonable force, that's what they call it.

That's when the visitor becomes an intruder.
