Have a good shift.

Hi, excuse me.

- How you doin? - I'm off. Have a good night.

Will do.

It'’s OK, it's OK, I'’ve got you.

It's OK. Stay steady for me. Keep breathing.

Someone'’s coming. It's OK. I'’ve got you, I've got you.

Clive?

Ma'am. I'm sorry to bother you so late,

but it's urgent.

Who were the victims?

How come you couldn't say on the phone?

Our female victim is a nurse from the hospital.

The male, Frank Chapman.

Ma'am, his car's just over here.

It's covered in blood on the inside.

It was found engine running and doors unlocked.

Ma'am.

Most of the blood's located in and around the driver'’s side.

- Is there any sign of a weapon? - No, ma'am.

Also, no blood spatter or gun residue.

Windows are all intact.

No damage to the interior or exterior of the vehicle.

Nothing to suggest an injury occurred inside.

So he was bleeding before he got into the car.

If it'’s his blood, then, yes, most likely.

We'’ll get the samples off to the lab immediately.

OK, thanks. Clive, can you get Liam to get the CCTV from here?

- Ma'am. - What about the bodies?

Inside, ma'am, being prepped for the PM.

OK, we need to get ahead before the press get wind.

What about t he rest of the Chapmans?

Yet to be informed.

This has to be led by us and not by them.

We can'’t risk them taking matters

into their own hands.

The Don, himself, Frank Chapman.

Even stone cold you wouldn'’t cross him.

Looking at the wounds,

this first shot would've definitely been close,

although, no vital organs were hit.

There'd have been some internal bleeding,

but it wasn't necessarily fatal.

So more clumsy, maybe.

What about the second?

Much more targeted.

Which is consistent with a drive-by.

The shooter hit the central mass,

lots of vital organs, lungs, the heart.

They definitely wanted to kill him.

Frank would have died within minutes.

They'’ve got some balls of steel going for the top man.

Who in their right mind would risk war

with the Chapmans?

You're aware, that Carly has accepted

a DS position over in East Mids?

Yeah, I encouraged her to go for it.

We need all the manpower we can get,

so a new DC will be joining you, and it'’s an immediate start.

DC Charlene Ellis. We hope you'’ll mentor her.

The Chief Constable's organised a series of recruitment events.

The aim being to support BAME and female candidates

perform at their best.

Now, you'’ve proven to be one of the best DIs we have,

but given the prominence of the Chapman murder,

you should be aware that people will be watching

your every move.

So with that in mind,

Beardsmore wants to pull forward your disciplinary review.

He wants to be...

Making sure I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Rachita,

I think we got off on the wrong foot.

I personally fought to get you back.

I admire and respect your tenacity to get the job done.

You care.

Mmh.

My apologies it'’s taken this long to catch up

since the lifting of your suspension.

It'’s been exactly three weeks, Superintendent.

Yes.

And in the light of current events

we have corrected this oversight.

Professional Standards have already formally briefed you

on the conclusion of the investigation

into your relationship with DCI Martyn Hunter.

Which clears DI Ray of any criminality.

Yes, and although no evidence

of criminality was found,

two other matters remain outstanding,

the allegation of bullying a junior colleague,

and your interpersonal issues with management.

However,

it has been decided to deal with these matters

by issuing words of advice.

You are to avoid close personal relationships

which may result in conflicts of interest,

to respect the authority of officers in a senior rank--

Can we pause for a moment, please, Superintendent?

With regards to DI Ray respecting the authority

of officers in a senior rank,

perhaps senior officers should be mindful

of racial profiling,

as well as certain lines of questionin'

which display a level of stereotyping.

For example,

assumptions about the languages an officer speaks

and where they originate from.

Best not to dwell.

I was expected to be a certain type of officer,

and when I didn'’t fit the assumptions

that were made about me

I was deemed to be a failure.

I think there'’s been a misunderstanding.

I am genuinely sorry you'’ve been feeling upset.

That was never our intention.

Perhaps, it would be helpful

to us all if we were to look forward.

It's not just our building that's new.

We're developing in all areas.

DI Ray,

if you're willing to work with us,

I assure you

the journey to Detective Chief Inspector

will be a swift one.

I will do everything in power to support your application.

I'’m going to have to go, and I'll um,

leave you and DCI Henderson

to move matters forward.

We need you to work with us, DI Ray,

to thinklike us.

Officers like you are crucial to the continued improvement

of West Central.

Understood, Sir.

We need you to work with us, DI Ray, to think like us.

Our nurse'’s name is Megan Parks.

She was newly qualified,

coming to the end of an 18-hour shift.

So, she was most probably

in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It'’s possible she was a target,

but based on our second victim I think, we can safely assume

she was caught in the crossfire.

We also have a potential eye witness.

It looks like he could be a porter.

We need to track him down and speak to him ASAP.

Kwesi, can you get onto that, please?

I'’d like to help with that, Ma'am.

Frank Chapman was clearly trying to get to medical help

when he was intercepted.

Can we get hold of Chapman'’s phone records?

Already put in a request, ma'’am.

Well, someone like Chapman will have tons of burner phones.

No chance you'’re gonna find them all.

What do we know about the Chapmans?

They'’re loan sharks who operate

several pawn broker shops in the area.

Well, let'’s just call them what they are, ma'am,

an organised crime family.

Frank Chapman'’s the Midlands' very own Teflon Don.

See, he'’s been on Serious and Organised Crimes'’ radar

for years, but no charges against him have ever stuck.

You know, he'’s "“clean"”. All the Chapmans are.

There'’s probably a few foot soldiers doing time,

but the Chapmans operate a "no grass" rule, and it works.

OK. Forensics indicate

that Frank was bleeding before he got into his car.

So, where did the first shot take place,

and how and why was he able to get into his car

and drive away?

Armed police! Armed police!

Armed police!

Armed police!

Armed police, nobody move!

- Clear! - All clear!

Clear.

All clear, ma'’am.

Crime really does pay.

Could someone come and bag this phone up, please?

This must be Dave and Suzie Chapman as kids.

And their daughter Suzie's been abroad for a few months.

Somewhere in Spain.

Yeah, it'’s Frank Chapman's name listed

as owner of all the businesses,

but word is his son Dave Chapman

oversees the day-to-day running of 'em

Well, he delegates anyway.

What about their Mum?

Yvette Chapman?

She passed away a few years back.

In here!

The blood spatter suggests he was shot around this area,

but there'’s no other sign of a blood trail.

They must've been stood pretty close.

I mean, there'’s no sign of a struggle,

And no evidence of a break-in.

Maybe they were invited in.

Or they had a key.

If it was a rival, surely they would keep their distance,

kill him on neutral ground,

not in his own home. It feels too risky.

Whoever was driving that car clearly meant business.

Why did the first attempt fail?

How long do you think between here and the hospital?

That time of night, 20 minutes, I reckon.

So, what happened

between the first shot that took place here

and the second shot at the hospital?

Would you pour a drink for someone

who might wanna kill you?

Kwesi?

We tracked the eye witness

from the footage, ma'’am.

His name'’s Michael Adoje. He works as a night porter.

Only now he'’s a patient.

Claims he had a run-in

with a member of his family

and doesn'’t wanna take it further.

Ma'’am, someone's done a number on him. It'’s pointless.

Whoever did it has made sure he'’s not gonna talk.

Sorry, ma'’am.

What is it?

We're too late.

They got to him.

It's started.

Will your sister be joining us, Mr Chapman?

She'’s on her way over from Costa Daurada.

Mr and Mrs Chapman, I think, it might be best

if we didn'’t discuss the details of our investigation

in front of your daughter.

Joey, love. Why don'’t you go play in your room?

I know this is about Pa.

Do your tablet for a bit.

OK. But after I want you to tell me everything.

Do you have any knowledge

of what your father, Frank, was doing

or who he might have been with

between 9:00pm and the time of the incident?

Nope.

When was the last time you saw your dad?

Mid to late afternoon.

I went round his to talk through some accounts.

Do you know if he had any plans afterwards?

No idea.

Dad?

Amy, my eldest.

They'’re here to check our alibis, love.

I'’m afraid we're obliged to rule you out.

We were asleep, in bed.

Joey gets bad dreams, bless her, so I was in with her.

And this one sleeps through everything.

Is there anyone that can verify

where you all were?

We were at home,

asleep

in bed.

Has your dad mentioned

anything out of the ordinary, recently?

Any conflicts?

Anyone who may have had a grudge to bear?

Well, there are heaps of folks

who didn'’t approve of the way he did business.

You know, at this stage, Mr Chapman, any information

would be helpful, no matter how insignificant

- it may seem-- - Dad was clean.

You know, as well as the nurse who lost her life,

there is a porter in a pretty bad way

in hospital.

We'’ve tried talking to him,

but he'’s point black refusing to speak to us.

Any chance you could leave us in peace,

and get on with finding out who murdered my dad,

Officer?

The hospital have confirmed

that our porter has two broken ribs,

fractured collarbone, concussion and internal bleeding.

There'’s no CCTV coverage of the attack.

No witnesses have come forward.

It'’s a dead end.

I wanna know who Frank was dealing with

before he died.

Let'’s start looking deeper into Chapman businesses.

We need specifics. Their client base,

who are they doing regular business with?

We'’re working on Dave's list of numbers and tracking 'em.

Good. Let'’s get

a profile of their staff as well.

...our thoughts and condolences are with the family

of Megan Parks.

Megan was a well-loved member of the community,

embarking on a promising career in the NHS.

Her loss is a deep tragedy for the whole city.

I want to assure you, that our colleagues over

- at West Central Police... - Colleagues?

...to ensure the offenders

of this violent and senseless crime

are brought to justice.

They themselves acknowledge their past failures

and are committed to tackling this investigation

with a fresh approach--

Mr and Mrs Parks? My name is DI Rachita Ray...

It'’s the exact make and model

involved in the shooting.

Forensic evidence will be limited. Sorry.

Thanks, mate.

Ma'’am, that was Liam.

The vehicle was first picked up near a parade of shops

in the Jewellery Quarter, about 200 yards

from one of the Chapman premises.

It was then caught in Hockley heading south.

After that we lose it.

He'’s not been able to verify any details

connected to the vehicle.

Council really fucked us turning these cameras off.

Tell me about it.

I know someone who could help.

He'’s an ex-youth worker.

He knows everything that happens round that way.

- Might be worth a visit. - Let'’s go.

Dad, she'’s here!

Are you too old for hugs these days?

No chance?

Good to see ya, chick.

Family reunion?

Do you think he knows we'’re here?

Where'’s your evil step-mother at?

Dad, Aunty Suzie brought me a handbag.

Yeah.

Just what every 11-year-old needs.

How'’s Beardsmore been with you since you'’ve come back?

I'’m "“crucial to the continued development

of West Central"”.

Wish I bloody was.

Might get paid a bit more.

But seriously, after what they put you through

I'’d tell them all to do one.

Saying that, my mortgage just went up.

After you, ma'’am.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Good to see you, brother. - Yeah, you too, Hardeep.

Hang about.

He does a mean Tandoori kebab. Melts in your mouth.

How'’s Sam?

Yeah, she'’s good, yeah, ta. Busy. Hey.

What meat is that?

What do you want it to be?

I'’ll do you a couple of boxes.

Oh, it'’s very kind of you but I'’m actually vegetarian.

Get out of my shop.

I'’m only messing with you.

Hardeep, we'’re investigating a double murder

that occurred outside West Central Hospital.

Yeah. I heard what happened to that poor girl.

I don'’t suppose you recognise this vehicle?

Do you mind telling us

what you know about Frank Chapman?

Never met him.

But you must have heard about him.

I know he was good at sorting things...

when people don'’t want your lot involved, like.

No offence.

Price was always higher for us lot though.

What do you mean?

Well, non-whites.

They always added a premium.

Is there anything else?

No.

This isn'’t your average gang drive-by.

Someone out there has pushed things too far.

It'’s only a matter of time before there'’s a retaliation.

The sooner we find Frank Chapman'’s killer,

the sooner we can dowse

whatever it is that'’s about to catch fire.

I don'’t wanna get involved.

You know, Megan had nothing to do with this.

- Ma'am - She was an innocent bystander.

Clive told me how much you do

for young people in the area. I know how much you care.

This is our chance

to prevent more tragedies like this from happening.

There'’s been talk, you know?

This family.

What family is this, mate?

They'’ve come over from Leicester.

They'’re all in the same sort of trade,

and they'’ve been crossing over into Chapman territory.

The jewellery trade?

Yeah.

And the rest.

They ran things over there.

Have you got a name?

The Mochanis.

I spoke to an ex-colleague from Leicester constabulary

who'’s had dealings with the eldest child

of the Mochani family, Ravinder Mochani,

known as Rav.

A few years ago he was done for possession of a firearm.

But as he was a first-time offender

he only did two years.

We also spoke to an old friend of Clive'’s,

who's an ex-youth worker

who confirms that since the Mochanis

have been on the scene, tensions between the Chapmans

and the Mochanis have been brewing.

It sounds like the beginning of a turf war.

What are you thinking?

With your permission, ma'’am,

I'’d like to bring the Mochanis in for questioning.

Is there really enough evidence?

We can'’t work on hearsay, DI Ray.

Previous failings, I mean we have to be so careful

when we'’re profiling.

Frank Chapman's probably built up

a number of enemies, over the years

but none with the confidence to carry out his murder.

This family may be key.

What about surveillance, then?

I'’m happy for you to put in for a surveillance authority

but I would urge you to make sure

they have something to do with it first.

You'’re actually on time.

Uh, um, Rachita, this is my husband Nick.

- Oh, hi. - Oh, DI Ray. Lovely to meet you.

- Likewise. - This is my brother, Ethan.

- Hi. - Hi there.

Er, we should get going or we'’ll lose the reservation.

OK. Thank you.

Hey, we'’re off for some tapas and drinks.

You'’re more than welcome to join us.

It'’s really kind of you but I have plans.

Enjoy your night.

Do you have to be somewhere?

Um, I'’ve actually got loads of work to do.

Do you want me to get you a minicab?

It'’s all right. I'’ll walk it.

- What is it you do? - Admin.

Maybe we could get a drink next time?

Yeah, it'’s probably best if we don'’t.

You know the old "“it'’s not you, it'’s me"”?

Well, in this case,

it really is.

Sorry, we're closed.

You pig loving bastard.

Easy now, all right?

You'’d better keep quiet about the Mochanis.

♪ Can't get surrounded by blue tape♪

♪ Get out here before it's too late♪

Rav Mochani.

Flash bastard.

Let'’s go.

I thought we weren'’t authorised.

Do you have an appointment?

Well, my name is DI Ray, and this is DS Bottomley.

We'’re in the area making some enquiries,

and we were wondering, if we could speak

- to the proprietors. - I'm Sharan Mochani.

This is a family business.

What'’s it regarding, officers?

Well, we'’re wondering if any of you

recognise this vehicle.

No, I don'’t.

What about you?

Afraid not, Officer.

Would you mind telling us

exactly what this is about?

We'’re investigating a serious incident

and we'’re trying to get as much information as possible.

What'’s the incident?

Frank Chapman was murdered around 11:00pm on Sunday,

and a young nurse was caught in the crossfire.

We'’ve heard.

But we'’ve never had any dealings with the man.

But you must know about him.

What'’s your full name?

Detective Inspector Rachita Ray.

Interesting they sent you to talk to us,

Detective Inspector Ray.

Excuse me. I have to take this.

Now, if you don'’t mind,

you'’re not great for business.

There'’s a strong possibility

Frank Chapman'’s murder is turf-related.

Hardeep seemed pretty sure about what'’s been going on,

but we need to make sure that we follow all lines of enquiry.

Frank had enemies coming out of his ears

and Dave Chapman even alluded to the fact.

Ma'am, I'’ve tracked the Mochanis'’ vehicles,

as requested, and on the evening of the incident

Sharan, Priya and Rav'’s were all parked up

at a family-run Persian restaurant in town

called Kish.

Can you get in touch with the restaurant and see

if they can get any CCTV footage of 'em?

Already on it, ma'am.

Clive, Kwesi, let'’s carry on covert surveillance

of the Chapmans and the Mochanis.

Charlene, I want you to carry on investigating the Chapman shops,

see when Frank last visited them

and try and get anything you can out of the staff.

Ma'’am.

Frank was a really good boss, you know.

In what way?

Well,

I'’ve been here 30 years.

Not once has he missed me' birthday.

And when was the last time you saw him?

Sunday it was.

He came in for a meeting.

What is it?

I don't...

I don'’t wanna make a statement.

- OK. - Might be nothing.

Any information is useful to us right now.

When he was leaving,

I saw him having an argument with a fella.

Can you remember what he looked like?

- He had a Sandwright'’s uniform. - The supermarket?

Yeah.

I recognised it '‘cause I do my food shop there.

OK, just a tick.

Where are we? Sunday, er...

Er, Karen, Jermaine,

Lisa, er, just a tick.

Er, Sohail,

Sam, Graham,

Vicky...

- Hey! - Aled?

Police, stop!

Stop! Stop!

Ah.

Ah, come on.

Fuck.

- Fuck. - Are you OK DC Ellis?

I'’m arresting you for assaulting a police officer

and on the suspicion of the murder of Frank Chapman.

You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned something

you later rely on in court.

Ah, fuck off.

Aled,

we have an eye witness who claims they saw you arguing

with Frank Chapman outside his Pawn Haven shop

on the day he was murdered

Can you tell me what you were arguing about?

Why did you run from us?

What have you done, Aled?

Nothing.

It'’s not the first time you'’ve been in custody, is it?

You have quite the CV.

How do you know Frank Chapman? Did you work for him?

No.

This is a murder investigation, Aled.

I'’m gonna ask you again.

Why were you arguing with Frank Chapman?

'Cause he'’s an evil fuckin' bastard,

that'’s why. They all are.

- Who are? - The Chapmans.

- In what way? - They kept upping the vig,

saying I owed them 25 grand, made me do drops for him,

burnt my scooter, went to my mum'’s house,

scared the shit out of her. It'’s how they operate.

They shut you into debt, then they fuck up your life.

They'’re all fucking fuckers.

They deserve everything they get.

- How much did you borrow, Aled? - Two grand.

I'’m the victim here.

And what happened after the argument?

I went to the pub and I got shitfaced.

Loads of people saw me.

Never take on the Chapmans.

Are you sure you should be here?

Yeah. The doc said it was fine.

I've got a pretty tough nut, you know.

How did it go, anyway?

Charged with assaulting a Police Officer,

but multiple witnesses corroborate his alibi

for the shooting.

Liam, where are we at with the forensics

on Frank'’s car?

There aresome other prints

on the back seat door handles

but none that match any on our database.

The blood is all his.

Also, forensics are back

from the whisky glasses in his kitchen.

One had traces of saliva which match his,

but the other had no trace of DNA

So whoever it was didn'’t even take a sip?

There is something else, though, ma'’am.

I'’ve been studying the CCTV from the Persian restaurant,

like you said, and look at this.

Rav Mochani leaves around 22:18 and then doesn'’t return.

Sharan and Priya are at the restaurant

'‘til 1:45am.

And then ANPR picked up his vehicle

half a mile away from West Central Hospital.

Rav Mochani has form.

We know he likes to mark his territory.

He'’s used scare tactics in Leicester in the past.

He has a lot to gain from taking on the Chapmans.

And now,

he potentially doesn'’t have an alibi.

Look into Rav Mochani'’s phone records and movements

in the days leading up to Chapman'’s murder.

I'’m gonna check in with Clive, see who'’s shown up for Frank.

Kwesi, are you still at the Mochani shop?

Yep, still here, ma'’am.

Great. Stay there. I want you to keep eyes on Rav.

Been meaning to say, after the Mochani meet,

I didn'’t know you could sign.

I did a course years ago. I can only remember a few words.

Mainly how to swear.

Is this lot mourning or celebrating?

It can'’t be.

What?

That'’s Lou Kirkby. What the fuck'’s he doing here?

- Who'’s he? - He used to be into all sorts,

fraud, drugs, you name it.

Last I heard he was doing 20 years.

Well, do you reckon he'’s worth checking out?

Yeah, possibly.

Though he'’s probably just here to show his face.

Oh, bollocks.

- Here. - Ta.

Weren'’t you wearing that yesterday?

Bloody washing machine is on the blink.

Bloke can'’t get out to us '‘til Tuesday.

What'’s he after?

Something'’s up.

They know.

This is all for show. They know we'’re watching 'em

They want us here.

Dad?

- You all right? - Yeah. Sorry, love. Miles away.

Tough day.

Babe,

I think you should make a toast to your dad now,

before she gets on one.

Kilo, Mike 459 to Control.

We have an armed robbery in Mochani jewellery shop.

Correction, it'’s an abduction.

Two IC1 males wearing gorilla masks.

They're taking Rav Mochani--

Sierra, Brava 29 to Control.

Sierra, Brava 29, go ahead.

Get me marked cars and air support.

They'’re heading Northwest towards Ring Road.

Black Transit van Papa, three,

seven, zero, November, Libra, Foxtrot.

Um...

Dad was a man of loyalty.

- Yeah. - Dad was a legend.

A force.

There was no one like him.

Camera sighting of vehicle at junction

of High Street and Ring Road.

You'’re too close. We don'’t have backup.

Sierra Brava 29, visual?

Ma'’am?

Having him taken from us

like this

has ripped the heart

out of our family.

Ma'’am, slow down!

Ma'’am.

And we won'’t rest until we have justice for Frank.

Will we?

Frank.

Frank.

Stop it! Stop now!

Sierra, brava 29 please, hold your position

and await back up.

Fuck!

Sierra, brava 29 please, hold your positions

and await back up.
