Episode 4 Cuffs

-You're quite sure this isn't a complete waste of time?

-No, sir.

No, you're not sure, or no, it isn't a complete waste of time?

-Er...

-Just turn it on, will you?!

Go! Go!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm sorry I couldn't be with you this morning,

but I want to talk to you about something which is important to me

and, I hope, important to you too. Risk and responsibility.

Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero.

Request assistance on Roedale allotments.

In this job we must always be prepared to take risks.

Suspect is armed with a samurai sword.

I repeat, armed with a sword...

To go to places that others would fear to go, to put ourselves

-in situations that others would fear to put themselves in...

-Jake.

Jake...

Jake!

We are the face that people look to for reassurance...

Support your fellow officers.

Support each other in supporting the community.

I am arresting you on suspicion of assault,

possession of an offensive weapon, criminal damage

and extreme gardening without a licence.

Risk and responsibility...

How's that for risk and responsibility?

Let these not just be buzz words, let them be your mantra.

Thank God for that.

The hat on the table was the best bit.

I liked the medals.

What have I got to do to get all those medals like that?

Probably got to win a war or something... Sorry.

Sorry, mate.

I wish he'd have warned me he was going to do that.

Don't take it personally.

It's all right. He was uniform, though, you know.

Did his time. Now he's driving a Merc.

The rest of these will be stuck in Panda cars till they retire.

-We don't drive Panda cars any more.

-It was a figure of speech.

Any patrol, please, for an immediate graded call to Roedale

allotments, man seen with a sword...

Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero.

Show us state five to that call, over.

You wanna take the Rolls or are you all right in the usual car?

Getting busy already.

Ooh, it's going to be an enjoyable evening tonight.

They might all behave themselves.

Oh, yeah, you're right. Probably finish early.

-In bed by ten.

-Nice cup of cocoa and a book.

-Lovely.

-Lovely!

Hey!

Here we go. Kilo Two Three Zero, show us State six, over.

-Are you the one who called us, madam?

-Yes. They've taken my van!

SHE SPEAKS HER OWN LANGUAGE

Can you give us a description of your vehicle

and the men who took it?

Look! It's bloody there!

Think there's a way of doing this without looking ridiculous?

Er...

I'll try and cut them off.

Ah!

Cut the engine...

Lads...

Cut the engine...

Get out of the vehicle. Cut the engine.

-You two - out!

-We was going to give it back.

Was you? Well, we'll never know now, will we?

Come on, you as well.

Come on, mate.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

Can't you do something a little bit more interesting

with your study leave?

You haven't got any drugs on you or anything like that, have you?

This your idea of fun, is it?

You OK? You look like you sprained your arse back there.

Oh, she's a physiotherapist as well, now, is she?

Another string to your bow!

Just checking. Let me know if you want it kissed better.

Hey... Workplace harassment. Shame on you!

TV IS ON

LOUD BANGS AND GLASS BREAKS

Get down! Shut up!

What do you want?

Shut up!

Wrong house.

-Sure?

-Yeah.

Oh, mate. Leave the paper cut alone, will you?

What do you mean?

I took on a guy with a samurai sword. I'm basically a warrior.

-Warrior?

-PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Jake, it's Dad. Just a quick one.

I am just trying to find out when you are working till tonight.

I'm on call so I'm wondering if you could check in on Mum.

Yeah, I'm on lates but I can go in and check on her when I get back.

OK. Thanks, I appreciate that.

I heard you had a bit of a run-in earlier?

It was nothing. Just a guy with a really big sword.

We dealt with him.

Well, I hope you're not in too many pieces right now.

You know, the trick when someone has a weapon like that

is to use it to your advantage - wait for them to swing,

and when they're off balance and vulnerable, you knock them down.

-Use their own body weight against them.

-OK, nice one.

Um...how did my video briefing go down this morning?

Video briefing...

Yeah, it was good.

It was terrible then, yeah?

Morale is at an all-time high, Dad. You really rallied the troops.

Yeah, right... I'm hanging up now.

Good luck tonight.

-Afternoon.

-Afternoon.

What's that smell?

Cadaverous, isn't it?

The neighbours said the smell's been there all week.

They thought it was a drain somewhere

-but it's been getting worse.

-Who owns it?

The Mason family own it, but they're away at the moment.

They've got a gite in the Dordogne.

They've got a house in France.

Oh, second shed we've had to break into today.

This "shed" is worth £13,000.

It's going to be a lot less in a minute.

Step back, please.

Are you going to kick it in?

Actually, why don't you take this one, warrior?

Yeah, all right.

FLIES BUZZ

HE RETCHES

Belt's still round the arm.

Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero.

We have a drugs death at the beach hut.

Request CID to come down and confirm, over.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

Can you think of anyone who would want to scare you?

-Anyone who would want to send a message?

-No...

We haven't any enemies. We're just normal.

Hello. South Sussex Properties. How can I help?

Yes, I'm just calling to enquire about the house

on Leckford Road, Patcham?

-Of course. Just a moment.

-Thank you.

I'm afraid we don't have any properties on that road at present.

Don't worry. My mistake.

There was fertiliser, lamps...

consistent with a cannabis farm.

Rival gang tried to turn it over,

-ended up in the neighbour's by mistake.

-That's unfortunate.

Perhaps not. If I can just get a RIPA, I can do a raid.

On the right house, I assume.

Yes, sir.

You're 100% it's a farm?

Fly-by with a helicopter and a heat sensor could confirm it.

I can get you a walk-by with a drugs dog.

That'll do. Thank you, sir.

-Dawn raid it is, then?

-Yes.

Enjoy your lie-in. I'm off.

-DC Hawkins.

-Hi... Carl.

-Fiona Glendon.

-Licensing committee.

Nice to meet you... So shall we, er...

Shall we head in?

Erm, we don't actually go into the stadium.

How do we watch the dogs, then?

RACE COMMENTARY

Budget cuts. Sorry.

Stadium has got a bar.

I'll remember that I owe you a drink.

Er, here's our suspect. Remember Betty.

Technically, the dog is not the suspect.

-Of course.

-Not unless she's got prior convictions.

Er, no. But she has come last in her previous four races.

So if she wins this one...

I'd start arresting people.

Assuming I can leg it back to the stadium before they all leave.

I'm sure it won't be much of a problem. You seem pretty fit to me.

Do you remember the first time you threw up on the job?

I'll let you know when it happens.

-Evening, Sarge.

-Evening.

Well. She's definitely dead. You were right to call.

-We do what we can.

-Any ID on her?

All right...we'll have to see if CSI can get a DNA match.

I'll need the syringe and the crime scene photos as well.

And I will try and get hold of any next of kin on Monday.

Oh, hello... Who threw up?

It was one of the rubberneckers.

That'll teach them.

Do you know there's waiting lists to get in one of these, you know?

What a way to go, eh?

-Anyway, that's me done.

-Have a good weekend, Sarge.

-You too.

'And as they approach the final bend...'

Bloody hell! What did she do, swallow a rocket?

In a manner of speaking.

Whisky November Two One Seven. Hope you had a bet on that.

I'm heading to pick up the owner.

Have uniform meet me en route, over.

Right, I, er... See you in a mo.

-Good girl... Good girl.

-Jason Lyle?

-Yeah.

-Hiya, mate. I just wanted to come and congratulate you

and furry Lance Armstrong here.

PC Carl Hawkins.

Oh, come on... Lads!

Cover the gate. Cover the gate.

What? She had a good race!

Come on, mate. She nearly broke the land speed record.

At least make it look believable.

Jason Lyle, I am arresting you on suspicion of committing

an offence under section 42 of the Gambling Act.

What did he give her?

Cocaine, most likely.

What does a greyhound look like on a come-down?

You might find out.

The kennels are full so we're going to plonk her at your station,

see if you've got any space there.

I always wanted a dog.

I doubt anyone would put up much of a fight if you wanted to take her home.

Speaking of...

How about that drink?

I can't.

No?

No.

Shame.

Maybe see you at the next one.

HE SIGHS

Just out of interest.

Why Remember Betty?

I named her after an ex-wife.

Another mad bitch who lost me all my money.

VOICES DROWNED OUT BY MUSIC

-Why did you call them?

-What's your name, love?

Bethany.

-You're a grass, mate.

-Right, Bethany.

We've been told you assaulted one of the staff,

so what we're going to do is take you outside.

It's a bit loud in here, isn't it?

And we'll go and have a chat about it, OK?

Look, this is stupid, yeah?

I gave the barmaid a £10 note and she gave me change for a 20.

I gave her a £20 note and she gave me change for a 10,

which is technically theft,

so you should be arresting them.

OK, let's go outside and have a chat about it. OK?

Where are we going?

We are going to pop into the station.

What?

No. I can't go there.

Unfortunately you haven't got much choice now.

Lino?

-Just... Look, put that down.

-Piss off!

Leave me alone, you fat pig.

Just put that down...

Right!

I'm not going to tell you again.

Put the shoe down.

SCREAMING

Let's get her out of here before there's a bloody riot.

My eyes hurt, you nonce!

You're going to be so sorry you did this.

My dad's a detective. He's going to kill you.

He's going to kill you!

What a charming young lady.

She stabbed Lino with a shoe.

But not without her merits.

Sarge...

DOOR BUZZES

This is Jason Lyle, arrested on suspicion of committing

an offence under Section 42 of the Gambling Act.

-BETHANY:

-Let me out!

-Saturday night.

You have no idea.

Let me out of this cell right now!

-Lino had to pepper spray her.

-That must have been satisfying.

A little bit.

-BETHANY:

-I want my dad down here!

I want my dad. He's a cop.

He's a cop and he's going to arrest you.

-POLICE OFFICER:

-Keep it down in there, will you?!

-Let me out!

-That's Bethany.

That's my daughter.

Detective...

Carl, you can't go and see her. You know you can't.

-Shut up.

-My eyes hurt.

Beth?

My eyes hurt!

You pepper sprayed my daughter.

-She had a shoe...

-She's got size three feet.

-What did you think she'd do?

-He used reasonable force.

-Did he?

-Yeah.

You get a medic down and get her checked out. I'm looking into this.

-Now!

-Yes.

-DOOR BUZZER

Sit down!

I had a greyhound called Bethany once.

-BOTH:

-Shut up!

Book him in, Mel...

Someone left that dog here for you.

-They tell me it's on cocaine.

-OK.

I just need to see Webb about something, then I'll sort it.

I'll need you first thing tomorrow. Dawn raid on a cannabis farm.

You're talking to him.

'Your mother was brought into hospital.'

-When?

-'Earlier today.'

What happened? Is she all right? Is she talking?

'She is in a serious but stable condition.

'We would recommend you come down to the hospital as soon as possible.'

I'll be there as soon as I can.

'Thank you.'

-What is it?

-Erm...

My mum's been taken to hospital.

-Serious?

-Yeah, I need to be there.

Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero.

My colleague needs to go state 11.

First day...

I threw up on the first day of the job.

It was a neglect case.

A couple had let their drinking get out of control.

They'd forgotten about the kids.

There was a baby.

I thought I was ready for it, but I wasn't.

It happens to everyone.

SIREN WAILS

Do you think that if I shut my eyes and pretended everything

outside this room didn't exist...

..it would come true?

No.

But would you like it if it did?

Oh...

What's this?

These are the most expensive peanuts in the whole world.

And I bequeath them to you...

As a symbol of my undying affection.

Both outside and inside of this room.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Hello, love.

Mum. I'm sorry I took so long, I...

Don't be silly.

It's not as bad as it looks.

OK.

It's much worse.

So what happened?

Oh, I just felt a bit faint.

I had a bit of a spell.

They said you're going into surgery in half an hour.

Mm-hm. That's right.

That's more than a bit of a spell, Mum.

You...

You're always such a worrier.

Right, Mum, I'm not going anywhere, OK?

I'll be just outside.

You're not alone.

How is she?

JAKE SIGHS

'Kilo Two Two Zero, the Chief isn't on duty tonight.

No, he's on call tonight. Ask them again.

Control, can you double check that, please?

'He's not working tonight. Kilo Two Two Zero, do you need assistance?'

No need. Over.

No, someone must have made a mistake.

He asked me to check on her...

Look, just don't worry about him right now.

Concentrate on your mum.

Jake...

'Any patrol? For an immediate graded incident on West Street.'

You should go, get back out there.

-All right?

-Mm.

Oh...

Jesus, Jake, how is she?

She came out of surgery 20 minutes ago.

She had fluid in her lung.

They had to drain it.

-Gave her something to help her breathe better.

-And the cancer?

They've sent biopsies off for testing.

How was work?

I'm going to go in and sit with her.

Why don't you go home and rest.

ID of the beach hut body came back. Her name was Maggie Neville, local.

So I am going to need you to chase up her next kin for me.

Check local hospitals, ask the street drinkers if anyone knew her.

And if she had people, I want to call them, let them know.

-Yes, Sarge.

You know, I think if you just let me explain...

Shut up.

If you just let me explain,

I could show you why this really isn't my fault.

-You attacked an officer.

-Barely!

No, Bethany, you could have had his eye out.

Why do you have a dog?

I was going to take her in.

What happened? Did Cruella try and skin it?

Oi!

Don't talk about your stepmum like that.

She doesn't think we've got the room, especially if she...

If, you know, we...

If the family grows.

Mum would have let you keep her.

Well, Mum always had a soft spot for the waifs and strays.

She still kicked YOU out.

Everyone has their limits.

How much trouble am I in?

Serious trouble.

Can you get me out of it?

Not even if I wanted to.

Oh, Mum's going to be so mad.

Bethany, in the car, now.

I'm sorry I hit your friend with a shoe.

You let her spend the night in a cell?

There was nothing I could do.

Nothing you could do?

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Karen, she was out of control.

Your kids need you, Carl.

You need to be there for them.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Do you want to give that to him?

This is MY hat.

No, it's not.

I'm pretty sure it is.

All right, what's your name?

PC Zack Glazebrook. Met police.

-Met?

-That's right.

That's funny. I don't see Buckingham Palace anywhere around here.

Do you see Buckingham Palace, PC Prager?

-Not seen it all morning.

-No?

It must be because we're not in London.

Look, if you're going to break the law,

break the law on your own patch next time, eh?

Sorry, were you using that, mate?

Give that back, right now.

Or what?

-Are you...?

-Right, you're coming with us.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And the rest of you can piss off before this gets worse. Go on.

Lads, I'll meet you back at the pub, all right?

Yeah, don't take too long. We'll be there.

So, are you what passes for police down here, then?

Mate, you would never,

and I mean never, get into the Met.

-How'd you like being in the back of a police car?

-Lino.

Yeah, calm down, Lino.

You know you're wasting your time arresting me, love.

You'll still be filling in the paperwork

Yeah, we're good to go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

-Right, coming.

-On my way.

Calm down.

Traffic warden didn't want to press charges and you know what?

I've never liked paperwork much.

Yeah, night.

I had a fight with Mum.

She told me to come and stay with you.

No, I had to have her put down.

-No!

-Nah, not really.

Kennels took her.

Waifs and strays.

I've got to take you to social care.

Come on.

DOOR CLOSES

-Jake, I want to talk.

-I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

Because if we start talking,

I might tell you how little I think about you.

I might tell you how pathetic I think you are.

I might tell you how everyone at the station laughs at you,

how they don't respect you and how neither do I,

so I don't think it's a good idea.

And you were right, by the way, about the whole self-defence thing.

Wait till someone's vulnerable, then knock them down.

Good advice, Dad.

What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

It's over now.

Stay here.

I always envy other people.

They all seem to walk around in this blissful ignorance...

..perfectly content with the world...

..but you know the truth, don't you?

'You know that the greatest lie

'adults tell children is that...

'..everything's going to be OK,

'that good always triumphs evil...

'..that things will be all right in the end.'

'Parents tell you you're safe in your bed,

'and, when you wake up, the world will be just as you left it.

'Truth is...

'..if you added it all up at the end,

'you'd probably see it's just as much bad as it is good.'

'We are not in control of our own destinies.

'All we can do is...

'..hang on.'

'Hope that everything we love doesn't get taken away from us.'

Life is tough.

'Mean.

'Unfair.

'If I'm honest, I don't know if you're going to be OK.'

I don't...

That's the truth.

But I hope you keep hanging on.

I hope you make a go of it.

No, it's not.

Where's he going?

It's a punishment. It's not meant to be a fun day out.

It's embarrassing. This is my work, these are my colleagues.

-I don't have to listen to this.

-Yes, you do.

Can I have a word?

Put that down, right now.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

-Do you want a hug? Or would that be weird?

-A bit.

You can't keep ignoring me.

This is not your battle to fight.
