So, what do you want from today?

0:00:280:00:31

Well...

0:00:310:00:33

hit the ground running.

0:00:330:00:34

Make a good impression.

0:00:340:00:36

Yeah, you've done the training.

0:00:360:00:39

Now it's time to get the criminals off the street.

0:00:390:00:42

It's a bit Charles Bronson.

0:00:440:00:45

"Do you believe in Jesus?

0:00:470:00:49

"Well, you're going to meet him."

0:00:490:00:52

You're not recording, are you? Yeah.

0:00:570:00:59

OK, it's a little bit like my first day at the Army.

0:01:020:01:06

Bit of adrenaline. It's a good thing.

0:01:080:01:11

Right, let's go and see what the day's got in store, shall we?

0:01:120:01:16

Sorry, Howard, can we do that again?

0:01:170:01:20

Bit too much background.

0:01:200:01:21

I know it's not Hollywood, but...

0:01:210:01:23

OK. You want me to do the same? Up to you.

0:01:240:01:26

Whenever you're ready.

0:01:260:01:29

HE WHISPERS TO HIMSELF

0:01:290:01:30

OK. HE CLEARS THROAT

0:01:320:01:33

HE CLEARS THROAT Sorry.

0:01:360:01:38

Feels a little bit like my first day at the Army.

0:01:410:01:44

Bit of adrenaline.

0:01:440:01:45

Morning, mate. What's the name?

0:01:580:02:00

Howard!

0:02:000:02:02

Spencer!

0:02:020:02:04

A friendly face! Hey, hey, hey!

0:02:040:02:06

We trained together. Spencer, this is Nick. Hi.

0:02:060:02:10

They're filming you?

0:02:100:02:12

Yeah, it's for a police recruitment video.

0:02:120:02:15

We're calling it The Special One.

0:02:160:02:19

Legend.

0:02:190:02:20

Yeah, well, you know...

0:02:200:02:22

What's in the bag?

0:02:220:02:23

Oh, just some stuff from training. Case I get stuck.

0:02:230:02:26

You won't get stuck.

0:02:260:02:27

Hey, we can't all be the golden boy.

0:02:270:02:29

Hardly a boy.

0:02:290:02:30

Howard. I'm bricking it.

0:02:300:02:32

You'll be fine.

0:02:320:02:34

Give us a tip.

0:02:340:02:36

A tip?

0:02:360:02:37

Yeah.

0:02:370:02:39

A tip?

0:02:390:02:40

Fear is the enemy of the soul.

0:02:420:02:45

And we rely on the soul in a crisis.

0:02:460:02:49

It's our intuition.

0:02:500:02:52

So we try not to be scared.

0:02:520:02:54

It's not good for anyone.

0:02:540:02:56

OK.

0:02:560:02:58

Special Constable Patel?

0:02:580:03:00

Yes, sir. Yes. Present and correct, sir.

0:03:000:03:02

And Special Constable Bellamy.

0:03:020:03:04

Sarge.

0:03:040:03:05

Howard. Sarge.

0:03:080:03:10

Hello, Howard.

0:03:100:03:12

Sarge. What are you doing here?

0:03:120:03:14

"And cameraman." Nick. Hi. Hi.

0:03:160:03:19

You're the training department poster boy?

0:03:210:03:23

Really?

0:03:240:03:25

Right, well...

0:03:270:03:28

You better follow me. Sarge.

0:03:290:03:31

What made you want to become a Special, Howard?

0:03:380:03:41

Caged tiger syndrome, I guess, Sarge. Been too long in that office.

0:03:410:03:45

Right, I see. Wanted to get my hands dirty again.

0:03:450:03:48

And if I can make the streets safer at the same time, even better.

0:03:480:03:51

Well, good to have you aboard.

0:03:510:03:52

Are you going to be my Reg today, Sarge?

0:03:520:03:54

No, I'm down to take Spencer, actually.

0:03:550:03:58

You'll be with PC Jackson.

0:03:590:04:01

Hi, Beth. Sarge.

0:04:070:04:09

This is Special Constable Bellamy. This is PC Beth Jackson.

0:04:090:04:13

Hello. Hello.

0:04:130:04:15

You're going to be working with Howard today.

0:04:150:04:17

And Spencer is going to come with me. Right.

0:04:170:04:20

That's if you don't mind a camera following you about.

0:04:200:04:22

Doesn't bother me, Sarge. Good.

0:04:220:04:24

Well, PC Jackson is experienced and astute, so listen and learn.

0:04:240:04:27

Sarge.

0:04:270:04:29

RADIO: Code 10. I've got a 148, IC1.

0:04:290:04:31

Request backup.

0:04:310:04:33

Armed assault.

0:04:330:04:34

Yeah. I think I'll take this one, Beth, if you don't mind?

0:04:360:04:39

Go for it.

0:04:390:04:40

You ready, Special Constable Patel?

0:04:400:04:42

Sir. Sarge.

0:04:420:04:43

Sarge. Sorry.

0:04:430:04:46

7244 responding. Give us your sit-rep.

0:04:460:04:48

Corner of Cliften and Turnham, uncommitted.

0:04:480:04:51

We'll be there in about three minutes.

0:04:510:04:54

Right, you ready?

0:04:540:04:55

Which one do I wear again?

0:04:550:04:57

We'll sort it in the car, come on.

0:04:590:05:01

Right, we're off!

0:05:040:05:06

My worst shout? Hmm.

0:05:080:05:09

Two years ago.

0:05:110:05:13

I was first on the scene at an RTC.

0:05:130:05:15

The car was on fire.

0:05:160:05:17

I was beaten back by the flames.

0:05:170:05:19

I had to watch the driver burn to death in front of me.

0:05:200:05:23

He was only 17.

0:05:230:05:24

The thing I still can't get out of my mind is the boy's face

0:05:260:05:29

when he realised I couldn't help him.

0:05:290:05:30

Hmm.

0:05:330:05:35

It's even worse when it's a mate.

0:05:360:05:37

Sorry. I was in the Army.

0:05:410:05:43

I've had...

0:05:450:05:46

I've had some friends die in front of me.

0:05:460:05:48

Really?

0:05:490:05:51

One or two in my arms, actually.

0:05:510:05:53

Really?

0:05:530:05:54

Yeah.

0:05:560:05:57

It was a few years ago now.

0:05:580:06:00

Right. Cos most Specials won't have any...

0:06:020:06:04

No, they won't have any experience of that.

0:06:040:06:06

The Regs too, a lot of them.

0:06:080:06:09

Well, thank goodness, eh?

0:06:090:06:11

Should stand you in good stead.

0:06:120:06:14

Well, let's hope so, PC Jackson.

0:06:140:06:17

Beth's fine.

0:06:170:06:18

Thanks, man.

0:06:190:06:20

After every skirmish there's a clean-up process.

0:06:290:06:35

And after every arrest...

0:06:350:06:36

..there's paperwork.

0:06:370:06:39

It may not look glamorous

0:06:420:06:45

but it's an essential part of the process.

0:06:450:06:47

I'm going to watch and learn.

0:06:530:06:54

Still watching.

0:07:300:07:31

Still learning.

0:07:340:07:35

Ready when you are.

0:07:390:07:41

Well, here we are.

0:07:430:07:45

Two hours into the first shift.

0:07:460:07:48

Still here.

0:07:500:07:51

Looks like PC Jackson had quite a pile to deal with.

0:07:540:07:57

How are we doing, Beth?

0:08:010:08:02

A few more yet.

0:08:020:08:04

I think I've got the hang of the paperwork thing now.

0:08:080:08:11

Anything else you want me to do?

0:08:170:08:19

You could make me another cup of tea.

0:08:190:08:21

Of course.

0:08:220:08:23

That thing! One minute it's fine, the next minute it's...

0:08:330:08:37

I'll have to get someone in to look at it. On it.

0:08:370:08:39

Right, that should do it.

0:08:470:08:48

MOBILE RINGS Excuse me.

0:08:480:08:50

Howard? Yes?

0:08:530:08:55

Have you booked a window cleaner?

0:08:550:08:57

Yes.

0:08:570:08:58

PAGES TURNING

0:08:580:08:59

(Yes, Karen, I booked the window cleaners.)

0:08:590:09:02

It's not in the diary.

0:09:020:09:03

Yes, I did.

0:09:030:09:04

If you look in the margin.

0:09:050:09:07

Yes, by the little arrow.

0:09:080:09:09

Yes.

0:09:090:09:11

There you go.

0:09:110:09:12

Please don't call again today.

0:09:130:09:14

The other job.

0:09:170:09:19

Right, let's give this a go, shall we?

0:09:200:09:22

Bingo.

0:09:260:09:27

Howard, you're a star.

0:09:290:09:31

Making a difference already.

0:09:310:09:32

Right, I'm going ten 1. Cool.

0:09:340:09:36

Going to the toilet. Ten 1 - toilet. Oh, right.

0:09:380:09:40

Standard issue police cuffs.

0:09:410:09:43

(Cut, cut.)

0:09:540:09:56

Right, finally out and about.

0:09:580:10:00

Yeah, this is one of the most notorious streets in Letherbridge.

0:10:010:10:05

It's only been ten minutes and look what we've found already.

0:10:050:10:08

Nice car.

0:10:100:10:11

Whoa! What's that I smell?

0:10:160:10:19

It's marijuana.

0:10:200:10:21

Whose is this?

0:10:260:10:27

Can you check this and the insurance? Yeah, sure.

0:10:310:10:33

Cannabis is a class-B drug.

0:10:350:10:37

You can go to prison for possession.

0:10:370:10:40

You can't afford to screw up like this.

0:10:400:10:42

I need you to sign here.

0:10:420:10:45

That's the first arrest in the bag, so to speak.

0:10:450:10:47

Will there be more?

0:10:480:10:50

RADIO: Full licence, no convictions, insurance held,

0:10:500:10:53

and owner as licence holder.

0:10:530:10:56

OK. Got that.

0:10:560:10:57

Bit of a turn up.

0:10:570:10:58

Do you understand what I'm saying?

0:11:020:11:04

All fine.

0:11:040:11:05

Apparently.

0:11:050:11:07

Go on, then.

0:11:070:11:08

Is that a caution?

0:11:140:11:15

No.

0:11:150:11:17

It just says I confiscated this.

0:11:170:11:19

I let them off. Yeah, but...

0:11:190:11:20

With this amount of gear the CPS are going to chuck the case out.

0:11:200:11:24

It's just not worth the time and money.

0:11:240:11:25

Haven't got form. It makes it even more pointless.

0:11:250:11:28

ENGINE REVS

0:11:280:11:30

A caution makes it a lot harder to get a job.

0:11:340:11:36

Basically, it stays on your record for ever.

0:11:360:11:38

Things are tough enough for kids like them, I reckon.

0:11:380:11:41

Yeah, I know, but... Kids do stupid things. I know I did.

0:11:410:11:44

Just lucky I didn't get caught.

0:11:450:11:47

Emily, my little girl, she won't eat these.

0:11:510:11:53

She loves the crispy ones.

0:11:530:11:54

But I don't mind them soggy.

0:11:540:11:56

Just as long as there's loads of jam in them.

0:11:560:11:58

I'm with you on that. Yeah?

0:11:580:11:59

No, thanks.

0:11:590:12:01

Guess who's just made his first arrest?

0:12:030:12:05

A mugger.

0:12:050:12:06

Suspect mugger.

0:12:060:12:08

Well done. You're fully fledged!

0:12:080:12:10

Nice one, Spencer.

0:12:100:12:12

I remembered what you said, Howard.

0:12:120:12:13

Go on then, Beth, are you going to give us one of those doughnuts?

0:12:140:12:17

Cheers.

0:12:180:12:20

RADIO: Code 8. We've got a DV on Churchill Lane.

0:12:220:12:24

One car already on the scene.

0:12:240:12:26

Another needed for backup.

0:12:260:12:27

What's a DV, Howard?

0:12:280:12:29

Domestic violence.

0:12:290:12:30

Correct. Sounds a bit tasty as well.

0:12:300:12:33

Tell you what, we'll get it. You have your tea.

0:12:330:12:35

You sure? No problem.

0:12:350:12:36

Thanks, Sarge.

0:12:360:12:37

Your mate seemed chuffed, didn't he? Yeah.

0:12:390:12:42

Bless him.

0:12:420:12:43

RADIO: PC Jackson?

0:12:460:12:47

Yeah?

0:12:490:12:50

OK if you switch to an unmarked car?

0:12:500:12:53

Need you to look at a house.

0:12:530:12:54

Address of suspect in a fatal hit and run. OK.

0:12:540:12:57

His name's Michael Harford.

0:13:030:13:06

How old was the girl that got killed?

0:13:060:13:08

Five.

0:13:080:13:09

Right.

0:13:090:13:10

Ready? Yep.

0:13:110:13:13

Nick, keep that camera out of sight.

0:13:130:13:15

Side entrance to the left, one Chubb, one Yale.

0:13:270:13:30

Possible escape route out of the first floor window

0:13:300:13:32

onto the sloping roof.

0:13:320:13:34

Wide open at the back. That'll need to be covered.

0:13:340:13:37

..with an open space to the rear, which will need to be covered.

0:13:390:13:44

Special Constable Bellamy's work, Sarge. Really?

0:13:440:13:47

Thank you.

0:13:470:13:49

This is very good.

0:13:510:13:52

Basic stuff, that, Sarge.

0:13:520:13:54

So, based on this, with four cars, ten officers...

0:13:550:13:59

Mind if I have a go, Sarge?

0:13:590:14:01

Learning in the doing and all that.

0:14:010:14:03

Go.

0:14:030:14:04

Right.

0:14:070:14:08

I'll have a car here...

0:14:080:14:10

..here,

0:14:120:14:13

and here.

0:14:130:14:14

And I'd go in with that first.

0:14:150:14:17

Now, here is a bus shelter and a newsagent.

0:14:170:14:20

I'd put plain clothes in each of them.

0:14:200:14:21

And I'd also put a man there,

0:14:210:14:23

just in case the suspect gets athletic.

0:14:230:14:26

Would you really make the box that big?

0:14:260:14:28

Well, these cars can be at the front door in, say, 20 seconds.

0:14:280:14:31

and the advantage of holding back would give us flexibility,

0:14:310:14:34

just in case the suspect does get mobile.

0:14:340:14:35

How many officers would you send in?

0:14:370:14:39

Based on the size of the property, the suspect's form,

0:14:390:14:42

minimum - four.

0:14:420:14:44

Right, well.

0:14:460:14:48

Sounds good to me.

0:14:480:14:50

Let's do it.

0:14:500:14:51

I'd really like to go in, Sarge.

0:15:050:15:07

I know you would, Howard.

0:15:080:15:10

Not this time, OK?

0:15:110:15:12

Right, Sarge.

0:15:150:15:16

RADIO: Beth, we're going in.

0:15:360:15:37

Right, Sarge.

0:15:390:15:40

In Londonderry we were in and out of houses like this all the time.

0:15:420:15:45

Of course, back then you had IEDs to worry about.

0:15:460:15:50

I just want to go in, that's all.

0:15:530:15:55

Sergeant Hollins knows what he's doing, I reckon.

0:15:570:15:59

Here we go.

0:15:590:16:00

Spencer?

0:16:080:16:09

But he's not experienced in this!

0:16:110:16:13

Learning in the doing.

0:16:130:16:14

Sarge agrees with you, Howard.

0:16:140:16:16

KNOCKING

0:16:160:16:18

RADIO: OK, boys.

0:16:190:16:20

Mr Harford!

0:16:200:16:24

Stand away from the door, do you understand?

0:16:240:16:27

OK, in, boys.

0:16:280:16:30

Come away from the window.

0:16:300:16:34

For the last time, come away!

0:16:340:16:36

In you go, Spencer.

0:16:360:16:38

SHOUTING IN PAIN

0:16:380:16:39

Get off me! Let go!

0:16:390:16:42

Well done, son.

0:16:420:16:43

Well done, Spencer.

0:16:430:16:44

SPENCER: Michael Harford,

0:16:460:16:47

you're under arrest on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving,

0:16:470:16:50

failing to stop at an accident... Spencer?!

0:16:500:16:52

..and failing to report an accident.

0:16:520:16:54

You do not have to say anything... Let go!

0:16:540:16:56

Well, that seemed to work out quite well. Well done.

0:16:580:17:00

All right, Sarge? Yeah, fine.

0:17:000:17:02

Hey, what about this one?

0:17:020:17:04

He did not hesitate.

0:17:040:17:05

He went in there like an old pro.

0:17:050:17:07

Nice one, Special Constable. Yeah, great stuff.

0:17:070:17:09

NICK: What did that feel like in there, Spencer?

0:17:090:17:12

Awesome!

0:17:120:17:13

Beth, can you and Howard go to the hospital,

0:17:130:17:15

get the suspect patched up?

0:17:150:17:16

Right, Sarge.

0:17:160:17:17

I'm wondering if I should stay with you or go with those two

0:17:170:17:20

where all the action is.

0:17:200:17:21

Tell us how you're feeling, Howard.

0:17:310:17:34

Oh, yes...

0:17:340:17:36

Well, coming towards the end of my first duty.

0:17:360:17:39

No arrests yet, but...

0:17:390:17:41

Guarding a suspect is a crucial role.

0:17:440:17:47

Glad to be given the chance to experience it.

0:17:470:17:50

Even though it doesn't require any decision making.

0:17:500:17:53

Or expertise.

0:17:540:17:56

Only a few more minutes, thank goodness.

0:17:570:17:59

But the cells at the nick are full

0:17:590:18:00

so I need to sort out where we're taking him.

0:18:000:18:02

You be all right here while I make some calls?

0:18:020:18:04

Yeah, of course, yeah.

0:18:040:18:05

Yes, regardless of how interesting the job is,

0:18:070:18:10

a police officer should always give 100%. Am I boring you?

0:18:100:18:13

Come on. She's pretty cute.

0:18:130:18:15

No way! Did you see that?

0:18:190:18:20

What are you going to do?

0:18:200:18:22

Excuse me. Can I have a word, please?

0:18:250:18:27

You paid for those?

0:18:270:18:29

I'm placing you under arrest.

0:18:300:18:31

You do not have to say anything... Oh, please!

0:18:310:18:33

..but it may harm your defence if you do not mention,

0:18:330:18:36

when questioned, something which you later rely on in court.

0:18:360:18:38

I'm sorry...

0:18:380:18:39

Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?

0:18:390:18:42

Please. Please don't do this.

0:18:420:18:45

Please! I was just...

0:18:450:18:47

I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.

0:18:470:18:49

They're for my mum. Hmm.

0:18:500:18:52

She's just got out of an operation.

0:18:520:18:54

They took out one of her lungs. Name?

0:18:540:18:56

Tell me this isn't happening.

0:18:560:18:58

Name, please.

0:18:580:18:59

Clare Devenish.

0:18:590:19:01

That Claire with an "I"?

0:19:010:19:02

Date of birth?

0:19:050:19:07

3rd April 1992. Please. I just wasn't thinking.

0:19:070:19:10

Right, I'm placing you on bail

0:19:100:19:12

but that will mean that you have to come down to the station

0:19:120:19:14

later this evening so I can officially administer the caution.

0:19:140:19:17

Is that clear? I'm training to be a nursery teacher.

0:19:170:19:20

But if I get a caution, well, that's over.

0:19:200:19:23

What about if I take them back?

0:19:230:19:25

I'll do it now so you can see me.

0:19:250:19:27

I'll say sorry to the owner. Please?

0:19:270:19:30

Shall we say six o'clock?

0:19:300:19:31

Well, the first of many.

0:19:410:19:44

The sob story, the remorse.

0:19:440:19:46

Yeah, crocodile tears.

0:19:460:19:48

Yep. I can see through it.

0:19:480:19:50

There you go. All part of the service. Thank you!

0:19:560:19:59

Howard?

0:19:590:20:00

Quick!

0:20:020:20:03

What the hell is going on?

0:20:070:20:08

Got a runner!

0:20:080:20:09

In the heat of battle I made a decision.

0:20:220:20:24

I believed it was right and I'm going to stand by it.

0:20:240:20:27

Will you? Yes.

0:20:270:20:28

We've been chasing Michael Harford for three months.

0:20:280:20:30

He killed a little girl.

0:20:300:20:32

And now you've let him out onto those streets.

0:20:320:20:34

Do you really think getting your first caution was worth that?

0:20:340:20:37

I'm sorry.

0:20:380:20:39

Whatever you believed when you signed up,

0:20:390:20:41

I think the biggest thing you need in this job is common sense.

0:20:410:20:44

PC Beth Jackson to base.

0:20:460:20:48

Beth was about to chuck these. Want one?

0:21:000:21:02

No, thanks.

0:21:040:21:05

Oh, no!

0:21:100:21:12

Special Constable Bellamy?

0:21:120:21:15

Please, Sarge, give us a chance.

0:21:150:21:16

Howard, it's good news.

0:21:160:21:18

Michael Harford has been re-apprehended

0:21:180:21:20

trying to get on a train to London.

0:21:200:21:22

So no harm done.

0:21:230:21:25

Here.

0:21:250:21:26

You know,

0:21:270:21:28

your first duty is never how you imagine it.

0:21:280:21:31

Oh, can I? Go ahead. Thanks.

0:21:310:21:33

Oh, yeah, and there's someone to see you on the front desk.

0:21:350:21:37

Who?

0:21:370:21:39

Your flower thief. Come on.

0:21:390:21:40

Thanks, Martin.

0:21:500:21:51

Ms Devenish?

0:21:530:21:54

You've come to sign the caution? Yes.

0:21:590:22:01

So you're admitting your guilt? Yes.

0:22:010:22:04

Are you aware of the implications of the caution?

0:22:040:22:07

I've read this if that's what you mean.

0:22:070:22:09

Including the paragraph on how this affects your future employment?

0:22:090:22:13

Look, I don't exactly have any choice, do I?

0:22:130:22:15

No.

0:22:170:22:18

Could you read that, please, and sign here and here?

0:22:190:22:23

Have you come from classes?

0:22:280:22:29

I still want to finish my course.

0:22:290:22:31

I need a pen.

0:22:330:22:35

What?

0:22:350:22:36

Oh, you know what?

0:22:470:22:48

Under pressure you made a big mistake.

0:22:500:22:52

Learn from it. Don't do it again.

0:22:520:22:55

I won't. Thank you. Thank you so much.

0:22:550:22:57

Thanks!

0:22:570:22:58

How's your mum? This will help.

0:22:580:23:00

You big softie.

0:23:070:23:08

If I'm honest, I hoped I'd be eased into it gently, you know?

0:23:130:23:17

But as it is, I've had the most exciting day of my life.

0:23:170:23:21

And I mean that.

0:23:210:23:22

Thanks, Spencer. That's great.

0:23:220:23:23

Howard!

0:23:230:23:25

So how did your mate Spencer do, then?

0:23:250:23:28

Yeah, Spencer did brilliantly.

0:23:280:23:29

He was a bit nervous this morning but he's braver than he thinks.

0:23:290:23:34

He's keen to learn.

0:23:340:23:36

He'll make a good cop.

0:23:360:23:37

I got lucky. This man's a real policeman.

0:23:370:23:40

He's a natural.

0:23:400:23:41

Yeah, I don't think so.

0:23:410:23:43

What are you talking about? I'll see you soon, Howard.

0:23:430:23:46

Can't wait to see the video.

0:23:460:23:47

So, Howard,

0:23:490:23:50

this morning you said you wanted to hit the ground running.

0:23:500:23:53

How did your first duty match up?

0:23:530:23:55

Well, you know, it's...

0:23:550:23:56

CLEARS THROAT Yeah.

0:23:560:23:59

Yeah... Yeah.

0:23:590:24:00

Howard?

0:24:050:24:07

Actually, Nick, do you mind if we stop?

0:24:070:24:09

Filming? Yeah.

0:24:090:24:11

Do more later, you mean?

0:24:110:24:13

No.

0:24:130:24:15

Er, OK.

0:24:150:24:17

I'm arresting you for the suspicion of being a total waste of space.

0:25:060:25:10

The Campus has taken up a stall at the University's freshers' fair.

0:25:180:25:21

I need you two to staff it. BOTH: When?

0:25:210:25:24

This afternoon.

0:25:240:25:25

Sorry, it's just spit-up.

0:25:250:25:27

It's not proper sick or anything.

0:25:270:25:30

Stuff your job.

0:25:330:25:34

You'll enjoy it.

0:25:340:25:36

Especially when you see your outfits.

0:25:360:25:38

BOTH: Outfits?

0:25:380:25:40
