0:00:44 > 0:00:47"Crime In Letherbridge Reaches Record High"?

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Well, if they let us from behind our desks,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53maybe we could do something about it.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56I've got a day of paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Sarge, that's the privilege of rank. - Mm.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01# ..the hippie

0:01:01 > 0:01:03# The hip, hip a hop and you don't stop, a rock it

0:01:03 > 0:01:05# To the bang bang boogie... #

0:01:13 > 0:01:17Ah, good. I was worried about you, I thought something had happened.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Barry, what are you doing here?

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Monday 21st March, I'm here to escort you, as arranged.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26But you're early. You're very early.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Ah, well, yes, but, you see,

0:01:29 > 0:01:33the situation at St Phil's can be extremely challenging, parking wise.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35I know Joe who runs the security down there.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37If I was to put a wheel out of place,

0:01:37 > 0:01:38he'd never let me hear the end of it!

0:01:38 > 0:01:41But the appointment's not till this afternoon.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42It pays to be prepared.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44But I'm not prepared. I'm not ready.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Look at me, I haven't showered or anything.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Don't panic!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51You sort yourself out. I'll go wait in the car.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53I could do with sorting out the glove box, anyway.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Honestly.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04MUSIC: Rapper's Delight by Sugarhill Gang

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Morning.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12'Scuse me, mate.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Love a bonfire, me.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31No school?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Don't blame you. I hated school.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38- You'll get in trouble though, mate. - Don't care.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Ah, no. Not out of gas, are you? - Shut up.- Shame.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Looks like you'll have to leave it. - You leave it.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Ah, but that's the problem, innit? I've seen you now.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Can't just ignore you.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52You need to get to school, mate.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53No! No way!

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well let me take you home, then. I can't just leave you out here.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Might burn down the whole estate if you get that lighter working(!)

0:02:59 > 0:03:01It's a dump! It wants burning down.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Nah, I can't let you do that. Sorry.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Can't stop me.- Could arrest you.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06You wouldn't.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Might have no choice.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09I'm 12.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Don't matter. Still stick you in the cells.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13What's your name?

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Don't.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Where's your mum and dad? Won't they be worried?

0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Don't have a dad. - Your mum then.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22She won't care.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Right, a night in the cells it is then.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25All right! It's Ziggy.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29You ready?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Can I just finish my coffee first?

0:03:31 > 0:03:32Are you scared?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'm not scared. But I am nervous, yes.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Look, why don't we just take things really casual.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41If we don't make a big deal out it,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44then Harry won't think it's a big deal.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48I'll just tell him you're one of my friends, and you want to say hello.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Yeah, I'm your friend.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Ben, I'm not...

0:03:55 > 0:03:57I just want to meet him.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58I really, really want to meet him.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh, why don't we tell him I'm a doctor?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03I am a doctor.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05In that case he'll hardly notice you.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- You can go now. - Best see you in, hadn't I?

0:04:12 > 0:04:13What's he done now?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16It's all right, he's not in any trouble.

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Just wanted to bring him home safe.

0:04:17 > 0:04:18Well, now you have.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- You know, he really should be in school, Mrs...?- Stella.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24What do you want me to do, drag him there kicking and screaming?

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Get inside, you, as if I haven't got enough on my plate?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Told you what she's like.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Hold on! Look, I'm sorry.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37I meant it, he's not in any trouble.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39I really think I might be able to help.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41What could you possibly do to help us?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Look, It's tough. For you an' all.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Why don't you let me have a chat with him?

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Worth a try, isn't it?

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Come on then.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Valerie!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10You're not ready. It's quarter past ten.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11- I'm not going.- Valerie!

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Get in, would you?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Just for a minute.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18I'll do you a cuppa?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35You must think you're involved with a mad woman.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36I don't think that.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39I wouldn't blame you.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41I feel mad.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Absolutely barmy.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46But this is it.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49This...thing.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52This tumour has either gone, or it hasn't.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Me knowing isn't going to make a blind bit of difference one

0:05:56 > 0:05:57way or the other.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I can't do anything about it.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04So, I've decided, I don't want to know.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I do understand how hard this is for you, you know.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Well, then you'll understand my decision.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Look, why don't we go inside.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20We can have so much more fun in there...

0:06:20 > 0:06:21No.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28There's nothing I'd rather do, than go in and spend the afternoon

0:06:28 > 0:06:29with you.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32But you know we can't do that.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Come on, Valerie.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Knowledge is power. You need to be brave.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Face this head on.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43I can't. I can't.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45You can.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49And I'll be by your side every step of the way, even if it means

0:06:49 > 0:06:50I have to park illegally.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Sulking.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01- He's having a hard time at school? - He's only been there two weeks,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I've told him, just give it a chance.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Why'd he move schools? - Er, cos we got moved here.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08It's meant to be temporary until they find us something else

0:07:08 > 0:07:10but until then we're stuck.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12He hates it. I don't blame him.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Have you been here at night-time? It's like a warzone.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Anyway, you should be out there catching real criminals,

0:07:18 > 0:07:21not hanging round persecuting little kids.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24I told you, he's not in any trouble. I just want to help.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Are you for real?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29I live not far from here. I know what it's like.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Look, I can see he's a good kid.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34My mobile number, just in case.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37I'm happy to come and have a chat with him if you think it'd help.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'm Danny, by the way. Danny Powell.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42I'll see if I can get him to school, all right?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Hey, Spud, how you doing, you all right?

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Hey, Harry.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57This is my friend, Niamh. She's a doctor.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00A nice one. And it's my morning off, so you're safe.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Is that Jess?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well, how is Postman Pat going to deliver all his letters,

0:08:06 > 0:08:08without his trusty sidekick?

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Am I right?- I didn't have you down as a Postman Pat fan.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12Oh, you've no idea.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14# Postman Pat, Postman Pat

0:08:14 > 0:08:16# Postman Pat and his black and white cat

0:08:16 > 0:08:18# Early in the morning

0:08:18 > 0:08:20# Before his day is dawning

0:08:20 > 0:08:23# He picks up all the postbags in his van. #

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Do I pass?

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Wow, you are really privileged!

0:08:28 > 0:08:29Thank you, Harry.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30High five!

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Ziggy! Come on now!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Ziggy?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Do I have to come in there and drag you out, cos I will!

0:08:42 > 0:08:44It's getting cold.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Don't want it.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47I don't care, you're eating it.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49You can't make me do anything.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52You're eating them beans because there'll be sod all else.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Get off me!

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Do you want us to get chucked out of here as well?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Cos that's what's going to happen, and then we'll be really stuck.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00I hate you!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Yeah, yeah, well I hate you too!

0:09:22 > 0:09:27Zig! Ziggy!

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- You've worn him out!- Oh, I wasn't thinking,

0:09:35 > 0:09:36I was having such a great time...

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Niamh, I'm joking.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40He's had a great time. He loves you.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41Do you think?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45He's a really special little boy.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Yeah, I know.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Wish I didn't have to go to work.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Will you say goodbye from me? - Course I will.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Thank you.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55I'll call you later.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- He's gone!- Right. The important thing to do is to keep calm...

0:10:12 > 0:10:14No, the important thing is you find my son!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Listen, this happens all the time, I promise, they always come back.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20You had a fight, he ran off, he'll come back when he's hungry,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- I promise you.- You didn't see him. He's not like other kids,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25he's got a lot of anger, do you know what I mean?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27He's stayed out overnight before, on the streets.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's like he hasn't got that in his head, you know, that voice

0:10:30 > 0:10:32that says, "No, I shouldn't be doing this, it's dangerous".

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Roads, fires, fighting, putting the neighbours' windows...

0:10:36 > 0:10:39I don't know what to do with him any more. I probably shouldn't be

0:10:39 > 0:10:41telling you this, you'll go and tell Social Services.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Why don't we go back to the flat, and...- Just do something!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Right, what about your old place?

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Yeah. What about it?

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Kids don't run away FROM places, they run TO places.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Places that they feel safe.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54- He mentioned he was missing your old flat?- When did he say that?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Before. Look, give us the address and I'll check it out.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Well, I'll come with you.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01No, you wait at yours, in case he shows up there.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Stella, I'll find him, I promise you.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Well, here we are.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13How're you feeling?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17It's like it's happening to someone else.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20What will happen, exactly, when you go in?

0:11:20 > 0:11:21Well.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26They will give me an injection of low dose radiation

0:11:26 > 0:11:29that travels to places in the body that use glucose for energy,

0:11:29 > 0:11:32so the cancers will show up on the scan because they use glucose

0:11:32 > 0:11:36in a different way to, you know, to normal tissue, without cancer.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Then they'll scan me.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's a big machine, and I slide into it on a table.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45And I could be in there for anything up to an hour.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'm not sure I can go through with it.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Believe me,

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I'd get in there with you, if I could.

0:11:57 > 0:12:02But as they probably have rules against that kind of thing,

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I've brought along the next best thing...

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Oh, Ricky Delaine.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- ANSWERING MACHINE:- 'Hiya, this is Danny. Leave me a message.'

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Police, please.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07OK, Stella, just calm down and then we'll take some details

0:13:07 > 0:13:09about Ziggy, is that all right?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12He's been acting weird ever since we got here,

0:13:12 > 0:13:14I thought he might be involved in, well you don't know, do you.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's all over the press this is the worst estate in Letherbridge.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Let's just go back to this morning, how was Ziggy then?

0:13:20 > 0:13:24OK, so, he went out, to school so I thought, but he didn't go to school.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Then one of your lot brings him home,

0:13:25 > 0:13:28we fall out, then he, you know, runs off.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30You mean a police officer?

0:13:30 > 0:13:31Yes, Danny.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33So you've already rung the police?

0:13:33 > 0:13:39No, I phoned this Danny, he brought Ziggy back,

0:13:39 > 0:13:41he thought he was bunking off from school and that,

0:13:41 > 0:13:43and he gave me his mobile number.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46I ring it and he's out there looking for Ziggy now.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Right, so this Danny, did he give you his full name?

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Yeah, Danny Powell.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Danny Powell?

0:13:52 > 0:13:53That doesn't ring a bell.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Was he on his own?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Yeah, why, what's wrong?

0:13:56 > 0:13:59It might be nothing, just give me a sec.

0:14:01 > 0:14:025105, the badge number.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09Stan, yeah, Rob Hollins, do we have a Danny Powell on the force?

0:14:11 > 0:14:12No, me neither.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Do me a favour, run a number check for me, please? 5105.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20Really? OK, cheers, Stan.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Stella, that number you gave me

0:14:24 > 0:14:27used to belong to a PC O'Brien from a neighbouring force,

0:14:27 > 0:14:28who died ten years ago.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30His number was never reallocated.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31I don't understand.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34What that means is, unless you got the number wrong...

0:14:34 > 0:14:35No, that is definitely it.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39The person you met this morning was not a police officer.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40He's got Ziggy.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42He's got my son.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Right, let's take some details

0:14:44 > 0:14:47so we can get out there as soon as possible to look for him.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Well, you'll be pleased to know my wedding outfit is sorted,

0:14:53 > 0:14:54as is yours, I believe?

0:14:55 > 0:14:59Just need to confirm numbers with the venue,

0:14:59 > 0:15:01- then let the caterers know. - Oh, don't.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04I know when I switch on my phone it'll be chock a block full of

0:15:04 > 0:15:07messages from the caterers, the venue, Mrs Tembe...

0:15:09 > 0:15:12There's still piles to organise and so many questions

0:15:12 > 0:15:14and I don't know the answers!

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Don't panic, why don't you let me deal with them all?

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Well, you don't have the answers, either!

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Neither of us do. This is so stressful,

0:15:25 > 0:15:28I've got a good mind to call the whole thing off.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29Now, don't talk daft.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34I tell you what, let's simplify.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36How?

0:15:36 > 0:15:41All these people, mithering, asking difficult questions,

0:15:41 > 0:15:45how about I give them one word, which captures us

0:15:45 > 0:15:49and our wedding, so no-one can be in any doubt about what we want?

0:15:49 > 0:15:50One word?

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Yeah.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54How about "sparkle"?

0:15:55 > 0:15:57"Shimmer"?

0:15:57 > 0:15:59"Radiance"?

0:15:59 > 0:16:01What about...

0:16:01 > 0:16:02"Razzmatazz"?

0:16:04 > 0:16:05"Razzmatazz" it is.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Come through now, please.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32PHONE RINGS

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Probably your mum.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Don't answer it.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42So, where you off to then?

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Not made a plan?

0:16:45 > 0:16:47That's all right.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49You got plenty of time yet.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51Be dark soon, though.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56She's going out of her mind, you know.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Bet she is. No-one to shout at.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01She seemed all right to me. But then, what do I know?

0:17:02 > 0:17:03I've never had a mum.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Shut up. Everyone's got a mum.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Yeah, well, I never knew mine.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12She got ill when I was a baby.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Couldn't look after me.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15But you had a dad?

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Yeah, I had a dad.

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Wish I had a dad.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Yeah, he was brilliant.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24He died when I was 11.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26For real?

0:17:26 > 0:17:27For real.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Who looked after you then?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Oh, everyone.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Sometimes no-one.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36I was a bit of a bad one, couldn't stop getting in trouble,

0:17:36 > 0:17:38running away and that,

0:17:38 > 0:17:40so they kept moving me around.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44Then I'd do something stupid and they'd move me again.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47I started seven new schools in one year.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Hard being new, innit?

0:17:49 > 0:17:50I hate them and they hate me.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52They just don't know you yet.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54I sat on my own at dinner every day last week.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56The thing is...

0:17:58 > 0:18:00..and you're not going to like this,

0:18:00 > 0:18:03but, what you've got to do is, give it time.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04You're tough.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05And you're funny.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07And the other kids'll see that.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09You've just got to stick it out.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Be there,

0:18:10 > 0:18:13even when it feels like you can't fit in

0:18:13 > 0:18:14and you'll never fit in.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18There's a place for everyone in the world somewhere.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Do you really think that? - Dunno.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22I'd like to.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Why don't you talk to your mum about it?

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Nah, no way.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29She's all right, you know.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31I'm telling you. She gets it.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Or, tell you what, you can talk to me.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39I'll look out for you.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40If you like.

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Getting cold.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'm starving. You got any food?

0:18:46 > 0:18:47I'll do you a deal.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'll get us a chippy tea if you let me ring your mum

0:18:50 > 0:18:52and tell her we're on our way back.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Promise, she'll be all right.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56Chips and gravy?

0:18:56 > 0:18:58And a battered sausage?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'll even throw in some mushy peas.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Your mates are here.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Danny, Danny Powell? Danny!

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Whoa!

0:19:13 > 0:19:15OK, Danny!

0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Give it up. - Leave him alone.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22All right, time to give up. Come here.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I'm arresting you for impersonating a police officer.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29You do not have to say anything, but, it may harm your defence if you don't mention, when questioned,

0:19:29 > 0:19:32something you later rely on in court. Anything you say may be given in evidence.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Well, I've seen it all now. I've just had a patient sing to me.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Sorry, I'm miles away.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39What's up?

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Oh, you were meeting Ben's son. How did it go?

0:19:43 > 0:19:44Not good?

0:19:46 > 0:19:48No, it was good. It was really, really good.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54He's lovely, and he's five, and he's dying.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56And his parents just have to get on with it, you know,

0:19:56 > 0:19:58make it normal, but it's just incredible to me,

0:19:58 > 0:20:02because how do you come to terms with the fact

0:20:02 > 0:20:03that your five-year-old,

0:20:03 > 0:20:06your beautiful, five-year-old child is dying?

0:20:07 > 0:20:10And there is nothing anyone can do to help?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Come here.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Come on, son. The evidence speaks for itself.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25You might as well give us your side of the story.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29No? OK. Well, let me tell you what we do know.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31We know that your name is Danny Powell.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35And you reside at Flat 14, Raven Court on the Churchill Estate,

0:20:35 > 0:20:38and you've been there for five weeks. Is that right?

0:20:38 > 0:20:39We also know that you are 22,

0:20:39 > 0:20:44and you are not a police officer, in fact you are unemployed.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46But just for the record, my name is Sergeant Hollins,

0:20:46 > 0:20:50and to be crystal clear, I AM a police officer.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55We know that you've been impersonating a police officer,

0:20:55 > 0:20:59wearing the old uniform of John O'Brien, who died in 2004.

0:20:59 > 0:21:04We found you with a missing child, Ziggy Bailey.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Do you want to tell me how all that happened?

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Come on, if you want to play this the hard way we can.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11We will search your flat.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Maybe all this dressing up is a front for something else.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Maybe drugs?- No!

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Start talking then, because you're up to your neck in this.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- I'm trying to help you. - I swear, I've done nothing!

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Look I'm sorry, all right, I just wanted to help,

0:21:23 > 0:21:24I never meant any harm.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- What were you doing with Ziggy Bailey?- I found him!

0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Which is more than you guys have done.- Oh.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32So you think you can do a better job than us, do you?

0:21:32 > 0:21:34I am doing a better job.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36I've been on the beat for weeks,

0:21:36 > 0:21:39if yous lot did any real work you'd have caught me ages ago.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Really? And what else do you do on your 'beat', Danny?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Look at it round here, gangs and drugs

0:21:45 > 0:21:48and people getting mugged every other day of the week,

0:21:48 > 0:21:51kids wagging it, running riot and all you guys can do

0:21:51 > 0:21:53is sit here drinking tea.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59OK. Let's take a break.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Interview suspended 15:52.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23You can't put him in prison. He's done nothing wrong.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27- I beg to differ.- Well, we don't want to press charges.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30He went to your house and pretended to be a police officer!

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Yeah, I know, that was a bit...weird.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35But he's sorted Ziggy's head out, I don't know how but he has.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37- That's as may be, but... - Why can't you just let him go?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39He's the only person round here who's all right!

0:22:39 > 0:22:41So what if he dressed up?

0:22:50 > 0:22:51Everything OK?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Can you take me home now, please?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Of course, come on.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Well done.

0:23:04 > 0:23:05OK, Danny,

0:23:06 > 0:23:11I am big enough and old enough to admit that, maybe,

0:23:11 > 0:23:13I got you a little bit wrong.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Let's just say that I accept that you're not into drugs,

0:23:16 > 0:23:19and yes, you did find Ziggy. But come on, what're you playing at?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Aren't you a bit old for dressing up?

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Let's start with how you got the uniform, shall we?

0:23:24 > 0:23:26It was my dad's.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Are you saying that your dad was John O'Brien?

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Yeah. I've got my mum's name.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38- Right.- When I got my flat, I was sorting my stuff out, moving in.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42I've had this box since I was 11,

0:23:42 > 0:23:44I hadn't looked in it for years.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Just stuff, you know, birthday cards,

0:23:48 > 0:23:52a blanket from when I was a baby, a picture of mum on Weston Beach.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55And my dad's uniform.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Go on.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I was just trying it on.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01Just to see how it felt.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04I never meant to go out in it.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07But it fitted,

0:24:07 > 0:24:08so I kept it on.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13And then I went to the shop

0:24:13 > 0:24:14and people, well,

0:24:14 > 0:24:18well, they're not used to seeing the police round here.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20They acted different. I thought I could help.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25You've got no idea. People are desperate.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Danny, if you want to be a police officer,

0:24:28 > 0:24:30why don't you do something about it?

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- No GCSEs.- But you can't just take the law into your own hands.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- What would your dad say? - My dad's not here, is he?

0:24:36 > 0:24:37No, he's not.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Look, what's going to happen to me?

0:24:40 > 0:24:42I don't know but I have to take this higher.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Sorry.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46But, for now, you can go home.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53I'm sorry, I don't know who else to call, I don't know what to do.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55OK, Ben, just slow down,

0:24:55 > 0:24:56tell me what's happened?

0:24:56 > 0:24:59I need your help, Niamh, I really need your help.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- You're out! So you're not going down?- No.- Yes!

0:25:09 > 0:25:11You made up with your mum?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Look, I'm sorry. I never meant to...

0:25:13 > 0:25:15I know. Thanks for finding him and that.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Right, well, I'd better...

0:25:19 > 0:25:20Do you want to get the bus?

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Yeah.- Come on then.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29I went home to get a shower

0:25:29 > 0:25:32and when I came back they wouldn't let me see him, said

0:25:32 > 0:25:34he was too tired,

0:25:34 > 0:25:36but they're hiding something, I don't trust them.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Surely they'll let you see him?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40The consultant said that he needed to rest and it was better

0:25:40 > 0:25:42that he didn't see me in this state.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45I wouldn't be in this state if they did their jobs.

0:25:45 > 0:25:46OK, Ben.

0:25:46 > 0:25:51I think you should go home, take a shower and get some sleep,

0:25:51 > 0:25:53things might seem clearer in the morning...

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Things are clear now.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58My boy is lying there, dying

0:25:58 > 0:26:00and nobody is doing anything to save him.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02What happens if they've missed something?

0:26:02 > 0:26:06Even they admit that he's the first case like this they've seen.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10What happens if there's some research, or treatment, that they

0:26:10 > 0:26:11don't know about?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16You're a doctor, come on, this must happen.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19I mean, it happens, sometimes, but not often.

0:26:19 > 0:26:20But it does happen?

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Please Niamh, I'm begging you, look into this.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29Ben, I don't think I...

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Look, I know it's not fair, putting it on you like this, but...

0:26:36 > 0:26:38..I'm just desperate.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39I'll do anything.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I really wish there was something I could do to help.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47But I don't think there is.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58You fancy her. She fancies you.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00There isn't a problem.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01Let's go on holiday.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Yeah, right.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Do you realise we've never talked about arrangements?

0:27:06 > 0:27:07What arrangements?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11For when Harry passes on.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15No way, am I guaranteed a first just because he's marking my paper!
