Following yesterday'’s events,

Police Conduct have opened an investigation.

Thanks to you, we now have the IOPC crawling

all over the department.

Sir, I believe the firearms operation

was conducted following protocol.

And yet still resulted in the shooting of a suspect.

And not just any suspect.

You'’ll both need to give the IOPC a statement

regarding the operation.

There seems to be, um ...

...a recurring theme here, Ray.

You went in alone to interview a prisoner.

DI Ray was asked to undertake that, Sir.

Not alone.

That was not signed off in the risk assessment

You also pursued a kidnap vehicle,

putting DS Bottomley in danger, when you should have waited

for marked cars to intercept.

DS Bottomley was significantly affected

by the incident.

You entered an abandoned gym,

where a hostage was reported to have been held,

without backup, putting yourself and potentially others at risk.

And you insisted on going to meet a dangerous suspect

without your team.

Actually Sir, she did have someone--

DI Ray,

are you a trained negotiator?

I am not, Sir.

So why do you think it'’s okay for you to barge into

any dangerous situation that comes your way?

Sir, I was following my instincts.

Instincts led to the shooting of a suspect.

Your unauthorised proximity

to an armed and non-compliant suspect

necessitated the deployment of lethal force.

You are a danger to yourself, and to others.

This is on you, Ray.

Mrs Mochani...

My son'’s been shot. I haven'’t got time

for your bullshit questions.

Tell me something, Detective Inspector.

You know full well he'’s innocent and you were right there.

Why didn'’t you do something?

I'’m sorry to bother you so late, I just...

It'’s okay.

I saw a man shot in front of me.

It was my fault.

I felt like I was back there, again that night, with Tony.

Your infidelity with Tony had nothing to do with

him being shot.

Rachita, what you'’re feeling is natural.

It'’s only been a matter of months.

Survivor'’s guilt is very common,

and something like this, it can trigger--

Tony had a son.

What do I have?

No one.

It should have been me.

I mean, who would fucking care.

It should have been me.

What about your parents, Rachita?

How do you think they would feel,

if they lost you?

You mean, the mother who left me to fend for myself

because she cared so much about what people thought,

of her, of us,

that she actually forgot to give a shit.

You know, I, er ...

I found a trafficked girl,

alone in a cupboard.

And she was so...

calm about it.

I understood her.

As a girl.

As an adult.

I had a teammate complain about me.

They think I'’m being reckless.

- And are you? - No.

I get the job done.

We'’ve got a big case on at the moment.

I'’ve just moved house and I'’ve been training and--

What about rest time.

When do you stop?

After what happened with Martin and Tony

and then the suspension...

...I didn'’t leave my house for a week.

There's some days

I didn'’t feel like I could get out of bed.

I felt...

...paralysed.

I can'’t ever go back there.

Is that why you also keep

your relationships with men casual?

Keeps me in control.

And you feel like you can achieve this

only by keeping everyone at a distance?

That sounds like a pretty lonely way to live.

Can I ask you something, Rachita?

That little girl you found.

What did you say to her?

I told her she needn'’t be scared.

That she'’s not alone.

Do you have somewhere to be?

Sorry, yeah.

Need to get back.

Gotta be at Nick and Kerry'’s

first thing. On uncle duties.

Nick'’s away and Kerry'’s working all hours

to get this Detective Superintendent job.

Kerry'’s going for Detective Superintendent?

Apparently, there'’s all these quotas, but...

no doubt she'’ll get it.

She has a habit of making things work for her.

I thought you two got on.

We do.

Rachita, it'’s Hiroka again.

If Police Conduct are involved, your job really is on the line.

This isn'’t your fault.

They'’re pinning this on you.

Oh, Miss Dhawan, this is, er, DI Ray.

- Oh, it'’s Amara, please. - Hi.

We'’ve just been discussing initiatives

to deal with the rise in gun crime.

Changes start at ground level, right?

Yeah. More staff would be good.

It'’s kind of essential to solving cases.

We'’ve discussed the lack of resources.

I absolutely hear your concerns.

I too am a Brummie through and through.

- I'’m from Leicester. - I'’ve got family in Leicester.

Look, in light of the current situation,

if I'’m fortunate enough to become mayor,

I promise to continue to work tirelessly

to secure funding for the police,

and all the invaluable work you do to keep us safe.

That'’s great news.

We need a new kettle. Ours is knackered.

If you'’ll excuse me.

That'’s a lovely bracelet, Sajna.

Did you make it?

Yellow is my favourite colour.

Can I ask you about the place you'’ve been staying?

Did anyone come to visit while you were there?

Sajna,

can we point

anybody you recognise?

Thank you, Sajna .

Can you tell me about this man?

She said, he came to the door.

What about this lady?

What about this lady?

Okay.

So, Sajna' has identified Priya Mochani and Frank Chapman.

What else have we got?

I'’ve managed to get hold of records

to show the fake passport for Sajna was logged

on Saturday 12th March this year,

and she was brought over on a tourist visa.

So it was intended to be temporary.

Why? What purpose?

I'’ve been trying to get hold of more information from the NCA,

but they'’ve been unresponsive.

I wouldn'’t bother. They'’ll fob you off.

Tell you it isn'’t ours.

Even though Sajna's their investigation now,

we still have legitimate reasons to be kept abreast.

Especially, if it has tangible links

to our tripple-murder investigation.

I'’m afraid, we're gonna have to be a pain in the hole

until they give us what we need.

Paternity test results are back.

And?

She'’s not Rav Mochani'’s daughter.

Sajna identified Frank Chapman

and Priya as people in Dawn'’s flat.

Rav said Frank wanted to go into business with him.

What does that mean?

If Sajna'’s telling the truth,

then Dawn never disclosed the fact that she'’d met Chapman,

let alone him being at her flat.

We need to speak to Dawn again and to Priya Mochani.

They'’ve both been lying. Search their properties again.

We need to bring them in.

Let'’s see who cracks first.

Copy that Control.

We need to talk to you about Frank Chapman.

I told you before, I don'’t know anything.

We know he came to your flat.

So why did you lie to us?

Dawn, you'’ve been rehoused for your own protection

and you'’ve co-operated until now, so unless

you wanna get re-arrested, I suggest you continue to do so.

Why was he at your flat, Dawn?

- Dawn Hughes, I'’m arresting-- - He wanted a photo.

What kind of photo?

Of the kid.

How do you know Priya?

She'’s Rav's sister.

Why did Chapman want a photo of the child?

- I dunno. - Oh, come on.

Honest. He never said.

He gave me a phone and told me to take a photo

while he waited.

Did he give other instructions about the photo?

It weren'’t anything dodge, like. He just wanted a photo of her.

It was Frank Chapman. I had to.

Did you tell Rav and Priya about it?

So we know that Sajna, the girl in the photo,

isn'’t Rav's daughter,

but he seems to be protective of her regarding Chapman,

and she also knows you.

Why?

What'’s your connection with this child, Priya?

What is Dawn'’s involvement in all this?

Who?

For what purpose was this little girl brought

into the country, Priya?

I put it to you that this vulnerable child,

this orphan,

was brought over from India to be exploited.

Most likely for domestic servitude.

Or worse.

Were you and your brother involved

in trafficking this child?

Because we know you were contacting him.

We found your burner phone when we searched your house.

No comment.

Priya Mochani is refusing to co-operate

about anything connected to Sajna.

We'’ve arrested her for assisting an offender.

it'’s likely she'll be bailed until her court appearance.

Charlene, what about her burner?

Communication with Rav started the morning he planned to leave,

but Priya'’s burner's been active for a number of weeks.

- We'’re still analysing the data. - Ma'am?

I'’ve been looking into the Chapman'’s business contracts.

For the past three years they'’ve had a contract

for council tax bailiff work. A very lucrative one.

How much are we talking?

Three mil minimum.

After the three years,

there's the option to extend by two years.

- Thank you. - It was prevented.

So this is a sudden, unexplained

and very last-minute change of tone.

- Do we know what led to it? - He'’s doing some digging for me.

It'’s great work, Kwesi. Keep us updated.

Ma'’am, response have reported several public order offences

in the last few hours.

Businesses have been graffitied with "“Justice for Megan"”.

- They'’re owned by South Asians. - I'’ll talk to the DCI

about our street presence.

We need more movement

in every aspect of this investigation,

so let'’s fast-track the ballistic report.

This will keep getting worse

until we prove Rav Mochani's innocent.

Alright, let'’s get back to work.

There'’s no excuse for the kind of violence

we'’ve been seeing over the past few days.

It'’s understandable the public feel unsafe

and unprotected.

But, as your councillor

I'’m making it my priority

to ensure we get to the bottom of these issues.

To put pressure on West Central Police

and to make sure, is Mr Mochani's found guilty,

then he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,

so that the public feel safe.

As you can see,

all the bullets are a match.

So the same gun

fired the bullets that killed Megan Parks,

Frank Chapman and Dave Chapman?

So Rav Mochani was the shooter of all three?

Right.

Let'’s speak to the Complex Case Prosecutor

at the CPS and explain

what we have to charge Ravinder Mochani

with the murders. Also the friend...

Shiv, ma'’am.

Let'’s ask for authority

to charge him with assisting an offender.

- He'’ll most likely be bailed-- - The other gun,

the one that fired the first bullet

that wounded Chapman in his home.

You said it was practically vintage.

- Correct. - So, where is it?

DI Ray, what's your preoccupation?

Oh, there'’s a missing firearm.

One of many. If we paused every investigation

to go play hide and seek for weapons

we wouldn'’t get anything done. We have to focus here.

We know Rav Mochani

shot and killed all three victims.

But did he, though?

His prints may be all over the gun,

but we have no evidence to place him at the scene

of the shootings.

Maybe Rav was working with an accomplice

who shot Frank at his home.

Yeah, if Rav was kidnapped with a gun,

this Degsy bloke would've got it off him

before it got to Dave, surely.

Unless the gun belonged to one of Chapman'’s heavies.

I've got not only the Chief Superintendent

on my case regarding this ongoing IOPC investigation,

but also, thanks to the negative press attention,

- I've got the DCC-- - Rav admitted

to killing Dave Chapman in self-defence,

but was adamant he hadn'’t killed Frank or Megan.

So the fact there'’s another gun that'’s yet to be recovered

means there'’s another potential killer out there.

on the loose.

I want officers out there

searching for this vintage firearm.

We'’re missing something. I know it.

I'’m at the house.

The gun'’s not here.

What did you find out?

No sign of the gun.

One of the lads from the Selly Oak shop said

he was driving your dad across town

a few days before the hit.

He was on the phone arranging a meet with Mochani.

What else?

He was after putting me on to tailing someone.

- Who? - Someone he's in business with.

A woman.

Remember her name?

I never found out. Changed his mind.

Said he was gonna take care of it himself.

So, what next, boss?

- How'’s he doing? - No change, I'’m afraid.

Hi, it'’s Ethan.

Leave a message and I'’ll get back to you.

You need to stop seeing her.

Kerry.

Kerry!

Mum?

Finally!

- I made some chai. - Thank you.

Why didn'’t you call ahead and tell me you were coming?

I keep trying. You never get back to me.

Anyway, I'’m glad I did come.

You'’re living out of boxes, sweetheart.

And your fridge,

I had to go to the supermarket.

You can'’t make a meal out of bagels and energy drinks

and half a block of mouldy Edam.

And ready meals?

You'’re a professional woman, Rachita. This is no way to live.

No one even comes around here.

Well, just as well.

And I'’m not obsessed about what people think about me.

- What'’s that supposed to mean? - Oh, come on, Mum.

You'’ve spent so long presenting this façade,

you don'’t even know who you are anymore.

Well, I'’m definitely not ready meals

and mouldy Edam.

Sit.

You can'’t hide in your work, you know.

Life isn'’t all about work.

- Yours was. - That'’s not true.

Come on, Mum. You left me in a room

the size of a closet when you were giving lectures.

I was eight years old.

Only during the school holidays.

And we never went on holiday.

I had to work harder than everyoneelse

to get to the same place

as people less qualified than me.

You think it still isn'’t like that?

I'’m being blamed for the shooting of a suspect.

Plait?

A bun'’s fine.

I'’ll do a plait.

You know, I'’m gathering evidence

to build a case against the force?

- Mum? - Hmm.

You don'’t think I should?

So many times in my life I wanted to speak up

To fight.

But you know what?

I had to put food on the table.

Make sure we had a roof over our heads.

So I kept my head down and got on with it.

I think, you should think very carefully

about rocking that boat.

Institutions are powerful.

You'’re just one woman.

I made daal chaval. Come. Eat.

Kwes,

you'’ve been looking at the Mochani

and Chapman businesses, right?

- Yeah. - This has come up.

I was looking at some of the Mochani'’s dealings

and found it. It'’s a company they recently set up

well, have a look.

It'’s to operate as a bailiff company.

Hang about.

Virtue Secure?

That'’s the company that applied

for the council bailiff contract.

The one the Chapmans had?

The contract went out to tender.

The deadline is upcoming, but this company,

the Mochanis'’, have submitted their application

for the first stage of the bidding process.

So, do you reckon that'’s why Chapman and Mochani

were in communication? Blackmail?

It'’s gotta be.

There'’s that much money involved.

The loan shark contract means

they can prey on vulnerable people.

Offer them loans to get out of debt.

The perfect way to drum up business.

Who did the Mochanis have a hold over at the council

to make them strong enough to rival the Chapmans?

- Thanks for the tea, Lisa. - That'’s alright.

Um, I was wondering if we could chat about Lou.

I heard he got early release.

He'’s been back in the snooker hall every night.

But, he'’s not been in touch.

Not even a text.

I take it you'’re not on good terms, then.

His choice.

Not mine.

I'’m sorry to hear that.

Lisa, are you aware

that Lou'’s planning to leave the country?

Why would he do that?

Frank'’s dead, so who'’s he running from?

You know, he'’ll end up back inside.

He thinks it'’s his fault.

What is?

I ... I'’m sorry.

I have to get to work.

- Morning. - Morning.

Any luck with your search for the firearm?

Nothing'’s been found yet, ma'am. How was your evening?

Oh, just alone watching telly.

Ma'’am. I've got an update

regarding Priya Mochani'’s burner.

I'’ve identified a number

Priya'’s been in communication with over the past few weeks.

- Whose is it? - Seems to be another burner.

It'’s not registered anyway.

However, from cell site data analysis

we can narrow down the location of its use to a few streets.

Can we find out if there'’s any known criminals

or connections to the Mochanis that live in those streets?

I can try, ma'’am. It'’s um, quite a posh area.

Not your usual criminal hideout.

Ma'’am?

I'’ll check back in with you later.

Another thing, ma'’am.

I'’m not sure, if it'’s significant.

This unknown burner...

Go on.

It'’s, um, it's also been logged near the police station.

This one?

- Do you think ...? - A corrupt officer.

- Can you keep this between us? - Yeah.

I need more information

before we discuss it with the rest of the team.

Which department do you require?

Can you connect me to Force Intelligence Bureau?

Could you state your name, rank and constabulary?

My name is DI Ray. I'’m from West Central Homicide.

I'’d like to submit an application

- to intercept a phone number. - On what grounds?

I believe there'’s a police officer

contacting a suspect.

It'’s a priority application.

Emergency application confirmed.

A liaison officer will be in touch directly.

Please hold.

He should be here in the next fifteen.

Wanna tell me what'’s going on with you?

How do you mean?

Sleeping in your car,

wearing the same clothes to work.

Me and Sam had an argument and she kicked me out.

I'’m not gonna lie, it is a bit shit.

I'’m sure once you've both had time to cool off, it'’ll be fine.

It'’s been a couple of weeks now.

You can kip on my sofa.

Thanks.

You and, um, Beardsmore--

Yeah, he should be here now.

That'’s him, right?

Yep, that'’s him.

Lou Kirkby.

Lou Kirkby?

My name is DI Ray and you know DS Bottomley.

I don'’t deal with slops.

I'’m afraid, you'’re going to have to.

We know you'’re planning on leaving the country.

Where were you on Sunday March 20th,

between 10:00pm and 11:30pm?

- What is this? - Answer the question, Lou.

I was in the pub.

Which one?

The White Horse, Digbeth.

Can anyone verify that?

I was sat at the bar from 6:00pm '‘til close.

Why did you show up at Frank Chapman'’s funeral

when you hate him as much as everyone says you do?

I wanted to make sure the sick fuck was properly dead.

Shame his toxic bitch isn'’t.

Who are you on about?

His bit on the side.

So I'’ve given you my alibi.

Now if you want anything else

you'’re gonna have to bring me in.

I need you to look into any women that dated Chapman.

Go through social media, Google, local news stories,

see if anyone comes up.

- I'’ll get onto it, ma'am. - Thanks.

For a man of Frank'’s years and reputation,

seems strange no exes have raised their heads.

That'’s why we need to keep all eyes on Lou

Whoever this "“toxic bitch"” is means she'’s significant enough

for him to hate her as much as he hates Frank,

which means she could be in danger.

- Daal and rice? - Oh, bloody love daal.

I just need to boil up some rice.

Honestly, I can'’t thank you enough.

Really been missing Sam'’s cooking.

I actually haven'’t seen a photo of her.

Sure she'’s a real life woman?

Here you go.

That'’s my Sameena.

Clive, can I ask you a question?

Mmm.

Was it you who told Beardsmore, I went in alone to see Martin

What?

No way, Rachita. Course, I didn'’t. I'd never do that.

What about after the kidnap?

No, we haven'’t discussed you, at all.

You have been discussing something?

No, that'’s not what I meant. It's...

What'’s this about?

It'’s just, I saw you in the car park

having this conversation. It just looked

intense.

Nah, it was just a bit of banter.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Er, no. Why don'’t you have a shower,

while the rice is cooking?

There'’s some spare towels in the bathroom.

All right, great. Ta.

Can I nick a bit of shower gel?

Er, yeah, sure.

No wonder she kicked you out.

Is something going on between you and Kerry?

What?

I saw you arguing with her the other night.

It looked intense.

Are you having a relationship with her?

Not anymore.

Oh, so you wereusing me to get to her.

- No! - I don'’t have time

for anyone else'’s bullshit.

Rachita!

There are photos of Frank at a cancer charity event,

with his late wife Yvette, from about ten years ago.

Since she died he seems to have gone solo.

If he was seeing other people he'd have kept it private.

Doesn'’t seem like the kind of guy

who'd care what people think of him and who he's seeing.

You think this "“toxic bitch"” is an ex,

who could be involved in his murder?

- I didn'’t realise-- - You'’re late.

Ma'’am, someone to see you.

Hi, there. Is this about me interviewing Sajna?

Sort of. Are you able to bring up the footage

of Sajna'’s first interview?

Yeah, of course.

Something'’s been playing on my mind.

Skip to just before the end.

Right.

There, look. See there?

She started holding her stomach and chattering in Punjabi,

only the interpreter was already out of the room.

It'’s been bothering me, so I went back and watched,

and then I asked the interpreter to translate.

Apparently, the child was saying that she'’s sick.

That'’s why she'’s here.

- Did she say anything else? - No, that was it.

You'’ve seen the interview and the report, though.

Seems perfectly fine to me.

Is it possible that someone told her to say that?

That'’s what I was wondering.

Okay, let'’s er,

request, er, consent for more medical tests.

Sorry, I'’ve just gotta get this.

DI Ray?

DI Ray, my name'’s DS Owen Brooks.

I'’m your liaison officer here at the NCA.

I believe, you requested a phone number to be intercepted.

Um, we'’ve got some recordings for you.

I have to remind you

phone interception is highly sensitive

and highly confidential,

therefore, the material cannot be disclosed

to your team or used as evidence

under any circumstances.

Take a seat. Headphones on, please.

The number you requested to be intercepted became active

a few hours ago.

Got a recording for you.

Mrs Chatterjee?

She couldn'’t make it.

Sorry, and you are?

Priya, listen to me.

What do you want?

Frank Chapman is dead.

... brother, Priya.

Did you say anything to the police?

You need to keep your mouth shut.

Fuck off back to your campaign, Amara.

Amara Dhawan.

I believe, you'’ve been working with my dad,

Councillor Dhawan.
