The shooting of Ravinder Mochani is a shocking event

Police officers come to work to protect people,

so when somebody loses a life it is a truly terrible thing.

West Central Police are deeply saddened by the death

of Mr Mochani

An investigation is being carried out

by the Independent Office for Police Conduct

All my Officers will be co-operating

with the investigation.

- Prick. - However, I would like to

remind the public that when you carry a gun

you put yourself and everyone else at risk.

Police Officers in the moment

have to make a very difficult decision.

Yet another non-white person has lost their life

at the hands of the police. What do you say, Superintendent?

Is there still a race problem in the force?

Can I emphasise that Mr Mochani was

and still is a triple murder suspect

But I'’ll defer now to DI Ray,

who was present at the time of the shooting.

It was a complex situation,

and all the Officers involved are regretful of the outcome.

Whether there are any other external factors

at play will be decided by the IOPC.

But we accept that all Police forces,

including this one, need to take a good look at themselves,

and ask their staff questions and be prepared to listen

to some difficult answers.

A comprehensive forensic report is still pending,

but this is a magnified image

of the gun part found at Pawn Haven.

It'’s from a nine-millimetre Taurus handgun.

Ballistics have informed us, it'’s a match

for the vintage firearm

that was first used to shoot Frank Chapman.

So this is an inside job?

Jesus.

Ballistics suggest, it was chopped up

using an angle grinder.

The rest of it could be in flippin' Turkey, Spain,

India, basically anywhere

The Chapmans never leave a mess.

This was an accident. Someone was acting in a panic.

If Dave did shoot Frank, that could mean

the second weapon was also Dave'’s.

What it doesn'’t explain is what caused the delay

between the first gunshot and the second,

and nor does it explain, why he did it.

My source reckons Dave was hungry to take over.

Why would Dave Chapman hold onto the second firearm?

Why not just destroy it, like the first one?

Maybe, Rav was telling the truth

about being set up.

Perhaps, Dave wanted to use his prints on the gun

so he could frame him after he killed him.

These are all hypotheticals.

By the way, I'’ll be in on the Amara Dhawan interview.

Wait, ma'’am. Kwesi'’s joining me.

The Superintendent has requested it.

Right.

We currently don'’t have all the facts to charge her.

Liam'’s trying to track down the consultant they had

to operate on Jasmine.

We need to establish how deep

this organ harvesting operation goes.

I'’ll see you shortly, Ray.

Sounds like

Beardsmore'’s keeping an eye on you.

The gun part buys us more time, but we still need to name Frank

and Meghan'’s murderer,

before he'’s back on my fucking case.

You didn'’t have to come and get me.

We need to talk.

Charlene,

come and look at this.

By the way, I found this in my bathroom

It'’s mostly corridors and entrances at Greenhills,

but look.

The first time Amara visited this week she was alone,

and then ten minutes later.

She looks furious.

On a mission, like.

Looks like there'’s a number on the door

UG. Upper ground floor.

What'’s this?

CCTV footage from Greenhills, Ma'’am.

It shows Amara Dhawan meeting with a doctor.

Can you two get down there and find out who she'’s meeting?

- Do you wanna drive or shall I? - Oh, and--

I need a coffee on the way.

What the fuck, Liam?

Charlene, can I ask you somethin'?

Of course.

Do you think DI Ray is a good boss?

Yeah. Yeah, I really do.

I mean, she has her ways, but ...

How do you mean, like?

Just, we all handle stress differently.

There'’s no reason for Henderson and Beardsmore to be watching

- her every move. - Shit.

What?

Liam, what have you done?

Can I help?

Hi, I'’m DC Payne from West Central.

This is my colleague DC Ellis.

We'’re making some enquiries.

Could you tell us which member of the medical team

was in consulting room UG13 on the 30th of March?

Um, just a sec.

It was Doctor Mark Stenbury, renal unit.

Is he at work today?

I'’m afraid not. He'’s on compassionate leave.

Doctor Stenbury, my name'’s DC Payne

from West Central. Can you open the door, please?

The lights are on.

Can you hear that?

Yeah, I can.

Sajna, the little girl we found in Dawn'’s flat,

was brought over to the UK on a tourist visa

on 12th of March 2022 from an orphanage in India.

Medical tests were performed on her

before she was trafficked.

Presumably, it had been established

that she was a good tissue and blood match

for your daughter Jasmine,

so therefore, a suitable organ donor

I say organ donor,

yet she is a child under the age of consent,

and living donations from a child

aren'’t even legal in this country.

But you probably already know that.

And somehow, Frank Chapman found out,

and we believe Rav Mochani was trying to protect Sajna

from Frank.

Why do you think Frank had such an interest

- in this child? - Had he found out

about Rav Mochani? Was he blackmailing you?

Yes.

Ma'’am, it's urgent.

Initial forensics suggests Dr Stenbury died of asphyxiation

from the petrol fumes somewhere between 12

to 18 hours. On a search of his property,

we found a note addressed to his kids

saying he was sorry. There'’s also divorce papers

and credit card bills. Thousands of pounds'’ worth.

So he was having money troubles.

We know the Chapmans and the Mochanis dabbled

- in loan sharking. - You think

- he might have owed Rav? - Or perhaps he agreed

to do the operation to wipe out debt,

or he was forced into doing it.

Liam, you and I need to talk later.

Okay. Ma'’am.

In that case, let'’s discuss

the logistical side.

For the tape, DI Ray has re-joined the interview.

Dr Mark Stenbury has been found dead.

Oh my God.

It'’s interesting that after having communication

with you, once again, there'’s another dead body.

Someone who knew your plans.

Your deal with Rav Mochani. Your corruption.

This is crazy.

Let'’s discuss the operational logistics,

shall we?

All I was told was that it was gonna take place

- at a private clinic. - What clinic?

I don'’t know.

What date was the transplant due to take place?

It hadn'’t been confirmed, but some time next week.

And after you'’d take what you needed from her,

what was Rav'’s plan with that little girl?

Do you even care?

Of course, I care.

We tried everything

My daughter'’s got kidney failure.

I didn'’t know whether she'’d get a transplant in time.

I couldn'’t risk losing her.

So when Rav came to me and told me that...

...he could bring a child from overseas,

someone who was a match, who...

...who was willing to donate an organ,

I couldn'’t ignore it.

What else did he promise?

He, he promised me they'’d be well looked after,

that their life would be better.

In return, he'd get the £3,000,000 contract.

You must have known the risks.

The other option was to watch my daughter slowly die.

I challenge you to live a week in my shoes.

To come home every night

and to look in your child'’s eyes

knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do

to help them.

What'’s gonna happen to my daughter?

Ma'’am. You need to hear this.

Full forensics on the gun fragment discovered

at Pawn Haven has found Frank Chapman'’s DNA

in the grooves, along with another trace

of DNA showing Chapman family markers.

- So it was Frank'’s gun? - Looks like it.

Meaning whoever shot him at his home,

didn'’t go there armed.

There'’s also a partial fingerprint

that matches one of the unidentified prints

collected from the door handle of Frank'’s car.

Dave Chapman'’s?

No, not Dave'’s.

We still need the rest

of the Chapman family'’s evidential prints and DNA.

One of the Chapmans is Frank and Megan'’s killer.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Now if you wouldn'’t mind opening your mouth

so we can take a swab.

Thank you.

I'll remind you to limit your movements

- while we wait for the results. - Of course.

Detective Inspector Ray.

...on my desk.

Yeah, well, I know what it gets like for you lot.

- Yeah, but if-- Liam?

- Do you have a second? - Yeah.

It was you, wasn'’t it,

who made a complaint about me.

In what way have I been reckless?

Reckless?

I never said that, ma'’am,

honest, and it wasn'’t a complaint. It was a concern.

I suggested to DCI Henderson you might need more support.

Why did the Superintendent get involved?

I don'’t know. She must have told him

The morning after Mochani'’s shooting

he come to see me. he started putting pressure on

for me to formalise things.

He wanted me to state explicitly that it was a complaint.

I just didn'’t know what to do.

Sorry, ma'’am.

So, Liam came to you with a concern

and you rehashed it as a complaint. Why?

So you could present it to the IOPC?

Are you part of this plan to get rid of me?

Are you and Beardsmore in this together?

Liam'’s concern was an unofficial complaint.

You wanna get rid of me because you'’re done using me

- as your fucking project. - Take a breath.

- Excuse me? - I'm sorry, if you felt used.

You know, it'’s time you and Beardsmore heard

your own words reflected at you.

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

You should be aware that people

will be watching your every move

Making sure I'’m keeping my mouth shut?

- You'’ve been recording me? - Do you blame me?

Beardsmore's from the dark ages, for God'’s sake.

I hate working under him.

Do you?

Rachita, please,

don'’t do this.

Don'’t report it.

Would you be able to open your mouth really wide

for me, my love? Just like your mum did.

We need Amy'’s, too.

They haven'’t managed to get hold of her. Do you know

- where she might be? - She'’s 17,

she can do what she wants.

I'’m not her mum.

I'’ve got some stuff to sort out.

Won'’t be long. Don'’t go anywhere.

I mean it. Alls I need you to do is keep your mouth shut

and do as I say.

Ma'am.

The mystery number from the WhatsApp group,

it'’s a pay-as-you-go. The network provider confirmed

it got topped up at this newsagent'’s at 12:02pm.

Beardsmore.

I'’ve got him.

Wow. Are you sure, it'’s him?

Without a doubt. He posts multiple times a week.

It'’s mostly misogynistic, sometimes homophobic,

often racist but always vile.

My God.

You have to lay a trap. Follow Beardsmore to the source.

But without someone of a higher rank

to give authority, it'’s just too risky.

I know.

I know it'’s risky, and I know I'’m asking a lot of Clive,

But, I think

this is just too big,

to let it slip through our fingers.

And Beardsmore is everything that is wrong with this force

and these lot on this chat think they'’re untouchable, too.

But, as your friend, I don'’t wanna see this backfire

- and blow up in your face. - If it does blow up in my face,

I can handle it.

But if I succeed, this'’ll end him,

and potentially others like him. And for that,

it'’s worth the risk.

You'’re shitting me.

One of the students at Claire Doyle'’s Academy,

the one that Frank Chapman invested in,

was a Laura Kirkby.

As in Lou'’s daughter?

She'’s deceased.

I'’m gonna reach out to Lisa Kirkby, again.

Next steps with Beardsmore. Did you watch him?

Well, I saw what time he arrived at work.

It coincided with him posting on the group.

I think he keeps the burner in his car.

Then that'’s where we'll get him.

I'’m here for Lisa.

And Laura.

Can I ask what happened?

Um...

...she started there,

at the Academy,

when she was

thirteen.

Something changed in her.

In what way?

She stopped eating.

She wouldn'’t go out with her friends,

wouldn'’t go out with us.

Then Lisa noticed ...

She was cutting herself,

on her arms,

and the tops of her legs.

The day after her 15th birthday,

I came home and she'’d taken a whole load of pills.

By the time we got her to the hospital she was gone.

And it was him.

It was Frank

Chapman.

That nonce killed

my baby girl.

We found her diary and...

He made her...

he made her do things

I didn'’t kill Frank,

but by God I wish I had.

Take time.

Ma'’am.

Liam? I'’m heading to Parkbridge College.

We need to find Amy fast.

We heard about Amy'’s Dad.

To be honest, I didn'’t know anything about her family.

When she'’s here she's head down, real hard worker.

What about friends?

She'’s quite private.

There'’s just the one girl she spends time with.

And who'’s that?

Her name'’s Shabnam.

I haven'’t seen her today.

Have you spoken, or texted at all?

No. Her dad just died and she needs her space, so...

If there'’s anything you feel could be useful

you should tell DI Ray.

Can I go now? I have to get to class and...

- I can explain to Mr Gregson. - It's fine.

Thank you for your time, Shabnam.

Sorry, I'’ve got to get back to my students.

Yeah, of course. Thank you.

Shabnam?

You need to tell me what you know.

I promise you won'’t be in any trouble.

Who are you texting?

- My mum. - Please, I'’m worried about her.

So Amy has another phone?

Her auntie gave it to her. I dunno why.

She stayed round mine the night before last,

and then her auntie came and picked her up from college.

She didn'’t say where she was going.

She just told me not to say anything.

I haven'’t heard from her since.

- What'’s going on? - Thank you.

Ma'’am?

Liam, I think Amy Chapman was abused

by her granddad and now she'’s missing.

Contact Technical Support.

And we need to geolocate a phone number fast.

What is it?

She'’s at Amy'’s college.

She'’s not getting the message.

Make good on the threat.

Pick your moment and fucking do it.

Come on, Amy.

Why aren'’t you answering?

The number you have dialled is not available.

Please try again later.

The phone last pinged a cell tower

near the Road Stay Hotel on Crossbourne Road.

Okay, speak to the hotel and see if anyone

matching Amy'’s description has checked in recently.

Come on, Amy.

Fucking hell!

Sierra, Bravo 29 to Control.

Control to Sierra Bravo 29. Go ahead.

Ambulance and Uniform required near Crossbourne Road.

I require urgent assistance. How far is the nearest patrol?

Two minutes. Patrol is on the way.

- Liam? - The hotel staff have confirmed

someone matching Amy'’s description checked in

yesterday, with a blond lady. It sounds like Susie.

I asked them to go and see if anyone's in the room.

It'’s empty. But, ma'am...

Uniform have just advised

there'’s a white Caucasian female

on the roof.

I can see her.

I'’m going in. Send for back-up.

Amy.

It'’s DI Rachita Ray. Do you remember me?

Look.

I know you'’re probably really scared right now,

but I just wannnatalk to you. Is that alright?

Amy, can you move away from the edge?

Shabnam'’s really worried about you. We all are.

Leave me alone.

Amy.

I know about your granddad.

I know.

Frank'’s not in control of you anymore.

He'’s gone. He can't hurt you anymore. You can move on.

- I can'’t. - Yes, you can.

If you tell me about what happened

- that night I can help. - Don'’t say anything, Amy.

- Amy, come away from the edge. - No.

- Amy... - I'’m sorry, Auntie SUSIE.

It wasn'’t...

I mean I didn'’t mean to.

Didn'’t mean to what?

It'’s okay, chick.

You'’re safe now.

Come away from the edge.

DI Ray is gonna stay right there

while you and me walk away,

Aren'’t you?

Amy,

just take it really nice

and slow, okay?

Okay, Amy?

Nice

and slow.

I just wanted everyone to know.

I just wanted him to admit it.

- Stop this now. - But he wasn'’t listening.

And I just got so angry and I--

But you knew where his gun was.

It was only meant to scare him,

but he tried to get the gun off me and it,

it just went off.

Okay, did you tell anyone?

My dad.

And what did your dad do?

He told me to go home,

have a shower,

get into bed...

and he'd sort it.

I miss him so much.

Okay.

You don'’t have to carry this on your own anymore, okay?

It'’s over.

You'’re safe.

You will get through this, I promise.

Okay?

I know what you said about keeping my mouth shut.

- But I can'’t - You'’re not thinking straight.

You'’re still in shock about your Dad.

Besides,

there'’s no proof.

There is.

This video was found on Amy'’s phone.

You'’ve been doing it, since I was 11 years old.

What'’s this all about? Jealous '‘cause I don'’t want you

anymore? Hmm?

I won'’t let you start on my sister.

What the fuck are you gonna do with that?

- Give it to me. - Not until you admit it.

Give me the fucking gun, Amy.

- Get the fuck away from me. -

- You fucking bitch! Argh! - Oh, my god.

Argh.

We found this in Susie Chapman'’s belongings .

Amy lost it in the tussle.

This is Frank'’s blood.

What'’s gonna happen to Amy?

She'’s been charged with attempted murder.

Given what she'’s been through there'’s a chance

she'’ll get a non-custodial sentence.

What did Susie Chapman have to say about it all?

When she'’d returned from Spain,

Dave convinced her that Rav was responsible

for Frank'’s murder.

Hence the kidnap.

Revenge for her father, she says.

Only she began to piece together that something was amiss.

She knew.

We'’ve charged her with assisting an offender.

She could face 14 years.

Bloody hell.

So why did Frank send the photo of Sajna to Rav?

Was it blackmail?

I believe Frank was trying to blackmail Rav into bringing

over other children, only this time

for sex trafficking.

Jesus.

Claire Doyle and her Academy are going to be investigated

for historic sexual abuse.

So,

well done to the team.

So Dave Chapman shot his Dad, trying to protect his daughter,

just like his daughter was trying to protect her sister

and Amara was trying to protect Jasmine.

These murders weren'’t about a turf war.

This was about family.

Someone'’s grassed on us, mate.

You'’re gonna have to let everyone else

in the group know as soon as possible.

Shit, I'’ve got to go.

Two of them have left the chat.

What about Beardsmore?

No activity.

What if we'’re wrong about him having the burner in the car?

Here we go.

DI Ray?

Sir, would you mind stepping out of the vehicle?

- Excuse me? - I need you to step out

of the vehicle.

And why is that?

We have reason to believe you may have committed

an offence under the Malicious Communications Act.

Who the hell do you think you'’re talking to?

You know your ranks, DI Ray?

DS Bottomley?

I'm seizing your phone as evidence to prove or disprove

your participation in a group chat

where offensive messages have been exchanged.

You never cease to amaze me, Ray.

Your phone, please.

Does DCI Henderson know about this?

Sir,

we can do this the hard way.

I can arrest you, search your vehicle

and confiscate your phone in front of everyone here,

or you can hand it over and we can discuss the matter

privately.

Hmm.

I'’ve been really patient with you, but this, this is it.

The two of you come with me, immediately

to DCI Henderson'’s office.

That'’s an order.

We'’ve got community unrest,

people being shot dead in the streets,

and these idiots,

under your management, are wasting time and resources

investigating some bloody group chat.

Did you authorise this surveillance,

DCI Henderson?

I did not, Sir.

In that case, I trust you'’ll deal

with this discreditable conduct, appropriately.

Sir.

- Ma'’am-- - You can fuck off!

I'’m not standing here answering to some DS.

And you'’re about to be handed a Reg 15

following complaints against your conduct.

Ma'’am, we have CCTV footage that places

Superintendent Beardsmore with a burner phone,

and evidence of exchanges on a group chat over a period

- of months. - Think very carefully

about how you proceed, DCI Henderson.

Especially, if you still expect me to recommend you

to the promotion board.

Understood, Sir.

I'’ll deal with this, immediately.

Pleased to hear it.

Detective Chief Superintendent Tucker, please.

Professional Standards.

Ma'’am, it's DCI Kerry Henderson from the Homicide Unit.

Could you come over to my office, immediately?

I need you to make an arrest.

Superintendent Ross Beardsmore,

for malicious communications

and perverting the course of justice, ma'’am.

Thank you, ma'’am.

Superintendent Beardsmore,

I'’m gonna need your burner phone...

Sir.

Superintendent Beardsmore will be suspended

with immediate effect.

An internal investigation will be conducted

and a statement will be released to the press.

Why don'’t you all go home and get some well-earned rest?

You worked your arses off.

Sam will be proud.

I am.

Well done, ma'’am.

Thank you, Liam.

DI exams tomorrow, ma'’am.

You'’re gonna smash it.

Rachita.

Professional Standards have asked if you'’d be willing

to submit the recordings you made of meetings.

Yeah, course, ma'’am.

Listen, I'’m withdrawing my job application

from East Mids.

Makes sense.

Why go to a different constabulary

when there'’s a Superintendent position, opening here?

Wasn'’t sure if this would make

me look like an extravagant prick, so, um...

Well, it'’s all about balance.

It is.

It'’s really good to see you, Patrick.

How is she?

She'’s happy enough.

What'’s gonna happen to her?

Sajna'’s foster mother is friendly with a couple

who are looking to adopt. There'’s a pretty strong case

- to get her fast-tracked. - Poor child.

What she'’s been through, I can'’t even begin to imagine.

You know, I'’ve been

thinking about what you said to me.

I called them out

on what'’s been happening to me,

and to others.

I'’ve formally

submitted my evidence

against the force.

Things have to change

Mum?

I'’m so proud of you.

I'’m proud of me, too.

I did it.

Do you fancy some lunch?

Are you cooking?

No.

In that case, yes.

That would be lovely.

As long as it'’s liquid...
