Morning.

I'll see you later, darling.

John.

Steve. How are you doing?

Yeah, good to see you.

How are you?

Yeah fine.

Jodie?

Yeah, she's fine.

Good.

Come in,

Kept the place dusted for you.

Didn't water my plant, though.

How does it feel to be back?

Dunno.

I need work.

What have you got on?

Ah, you're going to wish you hadn't asked.

We've got a situation.

The Deputy Commissioner's here.

Fraser?

What about?

Business on the A12.

Yeah, I saw that.

What's that got to do with the Met?

One of ours was involved, maybe even caused it.

Police complaints?

Nah, they're onto it already.

He wants one of us to ride shotgun.

Do you mind if I tag along?

No, John--

Ah, c'mon.

I don't want special treatment.

I need work.

OK.

Friday, 5:57, on the 12.

Eight vehicles involved.

Two fatal so far, one on critical, and a half a dozen

injured.

I'm sorry, sir.

But what's that got to do with us because I'd

have said that was Essex.

It is.

They sent their Inspector and a Scene Manager

from Chelmsford, quite properly, but two of our boys

were on pursuit of a vehicle when the accident occurred.

Bloody fools should have called over to Essex

and left well alone, but they had to go for it.

Yeah, but that's still not ours.

Why not just hand them over to RCIT?

Arse it?

Uh, R-C-I-T, sir.

Road Crash Investigation Team.

It is a rather unfortunate acronym.

Now, you haven't got the full picture, Tolin.

Clacy and Gopal, our boys, chased

the car across the boundary.

They may have even contributed to the accident,

and it gets worse.

I'm talking two black kids in a BMW.

Now, one of the fathers is shouting racism

and he's threatened to sue us.

His name is Bill Jackson.

He's a brand manager with an electrical company.

His daughter, Alice, was killed in the accident.

She was 23.

If Gopal and Clacy are responsible for her death,

then before you know it, we'll get

the blame for the rest of it.

Just to add to our troubles, we have

a celebrity of sorts involved.

A man called Richard Reeves.

A property developer, millionaire.

Never heard of him.

You think that'll matter if his lawyers got

ahold of a whiff of police culpability?

Then there's this abandoned vehicle.

Yeah, a white van belonging to a antiques business

in Redding, Home 2 Bed.

Tax and insurance up to date, used

for transporting furniture.

What we're looking at is a major incident

with multiple fatalities, and I want

to know everything about it.

You mean cover our backs?

Yes.

Right, I'll do it.

Leave it to me.

Now, you're sure you're all right with this, John?

I'd have thought of all the jobs, it's--

No, I'm all right.

OK.

Well, you just get Fraser what he wants

and then you can shove the whole thing.

Right.

Derek?

Danny.

My brother, Jeff.

They said you'd be expecting us.

Should have been here over an hour ago.

The traffic was bad.

What happens now?

Now?

Now you wait.

I've got to be on the ferry at six.

Should have got here earlier, then, shouldn't you?

Wait.

Keys.

Sidney!

Listen, I've got to go.

I'll see you tomorrow, the usual place.

You'll bring it with you?

Yes.

You didn't burn any copies?

No, of course not.

All right.

See you then.

Sidney?

Hello?

Hello, I thought you'd like a cup of tea.

Thank you.

How's the new computer?

Seems to be uh--

Yeah.

Was there something--

Did you know that it's a year since you moved in?

Really?

Yes, one year tomorrow.

So I wondered if you'd like to have supper

with me, just for a change.

Uh-- it'd be like a sort of celebration and, uh--

I'm going to make a lasagna.

It's nothing special.

That's very kind of you, Mrs. Whitfield, but um--

I'm over in Stepney tomorrow.

Oh, what time will you be finished?

6 o'clock.

Well, we could eat at 7:00.

7:30 would be all right.

That'd be lovely.

Right.

Well, uh, I'll leave you to it.

Thanks for the tea.

Oi, don't worry about this lot.

Bunch of tossers.

I know their sort.

I don't know, Danny.

We can't back out now.

Trust me, it's easy money.

Anyway, I'm always driving.

It's my van.

Come on.

Do you want coffee?

Look at this shit.

I'm off.

I'll see you later.

Bye, darling.

Hold on, young lady.

You know what the party tomorrow means your mother,

so you know what it means to me.

I know.

The whole family is going to be here.

Some of them haven't seen you since you were this high.

I'll be there.

Bill, stop giving her a hard time.

Let her go and have some fun.

Fun?

At her age, I was too busy working to have fun.

Yes, and you turned out wonderfully.

Bye, dad.

How did you know he was here?

Did he ring the bell?

He dropped me a text to say he's outside.

Why?

Don't his legs work?

No, he's scared of you.

Don't worry.

You'll get a chance meet him tomorrow.

What do you mean?

Didn't mom tell you?

She asked me to invite him.

But he's not family.

Not yet.

Yeah, and what's that supposed to mean?

- Bye, dad. - Alice!

Welcome to the Hook of Holland.

Will vehicles please exit to the left.

War in this once quiet corner of East

Africa has been raging for several months,

but it was only recently that the--

I just don't get it.

What?

The purchase account.

I had a call from the bank this morning.

We're running on overdraft.

Nothing unusual about that.

No, it's a big one.

I may have used it to pay for Will.

School fees?

Why would you use that account?

I just reached for the nearest checkbook.

It's 4,000, love.

Tell me about it!

Don't do that now.

Go and sit down.

Have a glass of wine.

Oh.

His opponents claim that he's

serving his own interests.

Where's Danny tonight?

He's um, doing a run in Holland.

Again?

You were only there a few weeks ago.

He should have rung by now.

Well, he's been to Holland enough times.

I'm sure he'll manage.

Something his government adamantly denies.

Come in.

You must be Daniel?

That's Jake.

Don't look so worried.

Jake's English, like you.

All right?

All right.

Ex-para?

Don't mind him.

He doesn't like conversation.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, thanks.

Where's the--

Relax.

Enjoy you drink.

You came alone?

Of course.

To our new adventure.

Essex FM.

With AJ

It's 7:30 on Friday morning.

It's pretty miserable, but it looks like things

will clear up by the end of the day

and be fine for the weekend.

So here's something to get your day started on at Essex FM.

Do you want a pickle?

Yeah.

I was thinking.

Yeah?

We should get married.

What do you think?

Uh--

I mean, Rob and Cheryl got married in April.

Connor and Kath are doing it next month.

Maybe we could get married in October or something.

Then it'll be like we'll got married in the same year.

That'd be quite cool, don't you think?

Yeah.

I mean, it takes time to plan a wedding day.

You can't just-- Well, yeah.

If you're thinking about spending a fortune on one

of those fancy do's, maybe.

But I reckon we could get Alan down at the social club

to cut us a deal on his function room.

We'll hire the outfits, and book a cheap flight to Benidorm.

Look, would you just stop.

What?

Doesn't matter.

You're crying because you're happy, right?

Yeah.

So do you want me to talk to Alan?

Bruv, where was you?

Oh my dear--

Gareth?

Yeah? Hey, listen.

I'll ring you back.

Don't tell me that I'm in your flat.

You're in my flat.

You were supposed to take me home last night.

You weren't in any state to be driven home.

You were in a woman possessed last night.

After your first drink, there was no stopping you.

This is all your fault.

How is it my fault?

I don't know, just is.

My dad's gonna kill me.

Wait, you've got the whole day.

What time does the party start?

8:00, but you know what he's like.

He wants everything in its place.

Why do I have to come?

Your dad hates me.

He doesn't hate you, does he?

He's never met you.

Besides, it would be a good chance for him to see

how good we are together.

OK, so what are we doing?

Dunno, are you working today?

I can call in sick.

You're going to be out of a job.

I don't like the job anyway.

Good, you can come with me and get mum's present, then.

Come.

Where's Mike?

They said you'd give me the money.

What, before the job's done?

That's what we agreed.

We agreed you'd be paid on delivery.

When it's complete, you'll get your money.

What if I'm stopped?

You have a crossing to make.

You're wasting time.

OK.

Well, you-- you phone Ed.

Tell them that I want the money.

Of course.

Dickhead.

Yeah, that's right.

No, I'm not surprised.

Pleased.

Yeah, the downside is USA is flatlining at 6%.

Yeah, we're gonna have to do something for the shareholders.

Maybe give him a different kind of biscuit?

Yeah.

Yes, I'll be in contact.

Take care.

Bye.

Come in.

You've got your 4:30 appointment, Mr. Fowler.

Yes.

Thank you, Karen.

It's just they're talking about the traffic.

Everyone's trying to make the most of the weekend.

You might get held up.

Good point.

Why don't you ring down and make sure my car's standing by?

Already down there waiting for you at the front.

What would I do without you?

Thank you, Karen.

Oh, bugger.

Uh, Ian, can you ring Karen, my PA?

Left the bloody HO report on my desk.

She'll know which one it is, so um, get her to bring it down,

would you? All right.

This is ridiculous.

I'll do it myself.

Karen?

I-- uh, got the Ethlosine results you wanted, Mr. Fowler.

I was going to put them on your desk for Monday morning,

then I managed to drop them.

I left without the HO report for the minister.

Oh, god.

Sorry, I should've spotted it.

It's all right.

Not your problem.

What have you got planned for the weekend?

Anything fun?

I'm just going to drive down to London to see a friend.

London again, hey?

Enjoy yourself.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will

shortly be arriving at Harwich.

We'd like to remind all passengers

to collect their personal belongings before disembarking.

Can all drivers please now make their way to their vehicles?

Hiya.

Sorry, Dave needed a lift.

You should think yourself lucky you haven't got kids.

Then you'd have something to complain about.

I've got Dave.

I don't need kids.

Oh, uh, hang on a sec.

Oh, yeah.

That's it.

Take your frustration out on a wasp.

Yeah, well.

Why should we be the only ones to suffer?

Table for one?

Yes, please.

That's very good, Simon, but the melody

is all in the right hand.

You need to bring it out more.

Try it again from the top.

Sir?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, Richard, but I did warn you.

You told me we'd have all the permissions in place by June.

You said we'd be in the first stages of construction by now.

Yes, but you know I said the authorities here

are even slower than they are in the UK,

and we still have issues with access and overdevelopment.

Summer will soon be over and we're still sat in a wasteland.

Why isn't Bernard here?

You can meet him tomorrow.

No, I can't.

I'm flying home this afternoon.

You'll have to get him to call me.

What do I tell him?

Your German is getting better.

Well, it will be fluent by the time we get started.

Thank you, Mrs. Parker.

Thank you.

I'll see you next week, Simon.

And remember, bring out the tune.

Simon--

I'm off to pick up Will.

What are those?

It's his uniform.

I'm going to see if I can have them taken out.

He's growing so fast.

Why don't you buy him a new pair?

Nevermind.

Forget it.

Did you speak to Danny?

He just got back to Harwich.

That's all right, then.

You know, if you don't think you can trust him,

maybe he should be looking for another job.

I never said I didn't trust him.

Anyway, there are no other jobs out there.

That's the trouble with you, too soft.

See you later.

Yes.

Yes, we are.

OK.

It's Edwards, Brian Edwards.

And her name is Joyce Thompson.

Yes, thank you.

Oh, sorry.

I wonder if you can help me.

I'm sorry, we're just closing.

Well, it's rather important.

I need to print out from a memory stick.

Ah, no problem.

Leave it with me, collect it in the morning.

We're open between 9:00: and 12:00.

No, I'm sorry. You don't understand.

I can't leave it.

I need it now.

I don't mind paying extra.

Come on, then. Give it here.

Thank you.

Hello?

Where have you been?

I was expecting you ages ago.

Yeah, I got held up, sorry.

Urgent last minute job.

I shouldn't have done it.

Joyce all right?

Oh, not too bad.

Did she have a sleep?

She said she doesn't like the bed.

That's a new one.

Well.

I'll take her out this evening if you like, give you a rest.

Oh, would you mind?

No, of course not.

Christine?

God.

I'll go.

Christine?

Christine?

70.

72.

70.

69.

Do you ever wonder if this is insane?

You know, this, us?

I don't know about you, but when I was a kid

this isn't exactly what I had in mind for myself.

No, it never is.

I just get the feeling that life's passing me by, you know?

I mean, literally, at 70 miles an hour.

You think too much.

Well, no one's ever accused me of that before.

Talking too much, maybe.

Yeah, that as well.

Oi!

Look, if you want to do something different,

you should do it.

Like what, though?

Work in McDonald's?

You're the one with all the dreams.

Yeah.

Win the lottery and see the world.

Why wait for the lottery?

Do it anyway.

Do either of you own the pale green Ford

Focus parked over there.

Oh, it's mine.

Don't tell me the tax is out of date.

No, I just wanted to say it's a really crap car.

Any chance for a cup of tea?

How long have you two boys been out there?

Since about 1:00.

Speed trap?

Just keeping the roads safe, miss.

Yeah, yeah.

Go on, then.

70.

72.

68.

70.

Do you have to do that?

It's the speeds.

I know what it is.

It's just fucking annoying.

What's wrong with you today?

Sitting here all day with you pulling people over,

that's what's wrong with me.

78, and it's a Beamer.

Let's get it.

Double points for a Beamer.

When I finish this, OK.

We'll get the next one.

Sorry I'm late.

I got held up.

Listen, I ordered your coffee.

Thanks.

Nice little earner, is it?

What?

Private lessons.

Didn't you say you once worked in a school?

I don't remember telling you that.

A private school, you said.

That was years ago.

It was a prep school.

Didn't like it.

So have you got it, then?

What did you think?

What did you pay?

Don't worry, Sid.

I'll take care of it.

What are friends for?

James, it's Karen.

I've got the document.

I made a copy of it, like you said.

I'll be there at 7:00 as agreed.

Give me 15 minutes, Paul.

All right, sir.

Shouldn't be too much traffic.

Where are you?

I'm at home. I just got in.

Raffle prizes straight through.

I want them in the room with the champagne when we begin.

-What? - Nothing.

You're going to be late.

I'll be fine, just getting changed.

Well, seven o'clock, remember?

You're giving the opening speech?

Don't worry.

I'll be there.

The Trip went well, since you ask.

Sorry, you're breaking up.

What did you say?

Nothing.

See you soon.

Can I help?

Where's the toilet?

It's just through there.

Don't look so worried.

It's just my family.

Yeah.

Well, you're not the one wanting to make a good impression.

Just chill out.

They're going to love you.

Aunt Sade's going to grill you on your entire family history.

You give her a couple of drinks and she's--

she's actually a lot of fun.

And she'll go and spread the word on how lovely you are.

Of course, there is Ned.

Yeah, my dad's overprotective brother.

Your dad has a brother?

Yeah, and he's bound to give you a bit of a grilling.

Dad listens to every single word that this man says,

so if you get on the wrong side of him, you are sunk.

I'm just kidding.

He's a brother, but they like chalk and cheese.

Dad despairs of him, so actually you

two will probably get on just fine.

Yeah, funny.

Give me a kiss.

Now, put your foot down.

I want to get there in plenty of time.

I don't want to go.

C'mon, mom.

You like a drive.

Why can't you take me?

Why don't we let Chris get on with dinner?

And I'll take you up to Sandhill.

You like up there, don't you?

How long will you be?

A couple of hours.

Don't worry.

Have a nice time, mom.

So what are you up to over the weekend, Paul?

Me?

Me and the wife are going over to my daughter's.

When is the baby due?

She gave birth last week, sir.

Baby girl.

Congratulations.

Are you sure you don't mind?

Yeah, you go home.

She gets so narked when I'm late.

Who, Gemma?

Yeah, almost as bad my mom.

She loves babysitting, but only in small doses.

Yeah, well at least she doesn't charge you, hey?

Go on!

Go on.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Any chance I can get a glass of tap water?

Yeah, sure.

That's $1.50.

I'm joking.

It's free, but now it'll taste better.

Do you want to eat?

No, I'm fine.

I've got to get home. All right.

- Have a good evening. - Yeah, and you.

Come on, where is it?

Oh, for goodness' sake.

I don't believe it.

Yeah, I'm at the service station waiting.

Of course the A12.

You think I'm stupid?

What's going on?

No one's here.

That's not what we agreed.

That's 40 minutes from here.

All right, all right.

I'm on my way, but you better bloody be there.

Sorry, this place does my head in.

Every time I leave here, I'm always

running late for something.

See you.

See you.

Where are you going?

This isn't the way to Sandhill.

No, I thought we'd go somewhere

different for a change.

Where are you taking me?

Bingo!

There's one.

BMW, 83.

Hey, John.

What do you say?

It's a mess.

Are you sure you really want it.

All that information, and still

don't know what caused it.

Well, you know you 're going to have

to work out of Chelmsford?

Yeah, yeah.

I'll go up there tomorrow.

Do you uh, want a drink?

No, no.

Uh, you go home.

It's good to have you back.
