Running with the Pack Doctors

Yo, Haz!

How's it going, cuz?

Get in.

I'm late for college.

-Where you been? I tried to call you like ten times.

-Hospital.

Come here, man.

It's good to see you. This is my baby cousin, Harry.

-So, did they say when she can come out?

-Don't tell me nothing.

-Typical.

And you pick up all the pieces when the ambulance drops her off

-outside your door.

-I can look after her.

-Course you can. She's your mum.

I'm just saying, you ain't got it easy.

I'd better go.

I can help you out, you know?

You need cash to take care of everything.

We're family, man.

You're a bag of bones, H. When did you last eat?

Sergeant Hollins.

-Inspector Callaghan.

-Are we done on those pharmacy break ins?

-No, not yet. But we're getting there.

-Good.

Sucking up a lot of man hours. I'm glad I caught you.

-That RTC sounded pretty horrific.

-Mm, it'll all be in my report.

So are you ready to just quickly run through it for me?

-You know the drill.

-I'm a bit tight for time at the moment.

-Come on.

I need an experienced officer's view, just

-so we can rule out that we could have done anything differently.

-I need to prepare for this briefing.

It won't take long. I'm sure everything was done by the book.

Better? You can't beat a bacon buttie.

Proper man food, innit?

-Here you go. Same stuff, same deal.

-No, man.

-It's getting risky at college.

-You're too smart to get caught.

-I don't know.

-I'm doing you a favour here.

Your mum ain't going to pay for the rent, the gas, the electric.

It's cool.

I get you're worried.

Shift this lot, pay your way, we'll talk some more, yeah?

I've given you some extra, so I'll be counting my cash.

-What?

-You think I didn't notice how much you creamed off for yourself

-last time?

-I swear, I...

-I get it.

Right. First rule of business is to make profit. I respect that.

So I'm letting you off this time. So, you owe me, yeah?

-So I need a bit of payback.

-Doing what?

-A little job.

No stretch for you. You're a quick learner.

Chill out. We trust each other, yeah?

So nothing can go wrong.

Got your phone?

You're going to need it.

So, the driver was physically capable of getting out of the car?

He very clearly made the choice to stay.

We all tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't leave her, the passenger.

He refused point blank, actually.

How aware were you at this point that there was still

a potential risk from the tractor?

Look, no one could have predicted what was going to happen.

It's a tough thing to witness, Rob.

I have to ask you this.

Are you 100% sure that there was no alternative course of action

that could have prevented the driver's death?

I am 100% sure. I know how to do my job. Back off.

MOBILE RINGS

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to cut this short.

Like I say, Rob,

it's a tough thing to witness.

Drop back as soon as you're done. We need to wrap this up.

Oh, and Rob, we need a result on those robberies today, too.

Time is money.

SHE YAWNS LOUDLY

One shot of caffeine used to do it for me. Not any more.

-I feel like I haven't woken up.

-Don't bother pinching yourself.

You're already in your dream job.

-That is a very positive attitude to start the day, Dr Granger.

-Ooh!

-Can I help you?

-No, no, no. It's fine.

No, I don't want to be reliant.

-Shall I just...?

-No, no.

Honestly, I need to get back on my own two feet. Literally.

Right. Another chemist was hit last night on Bridge Street.

Same MO. We need to deal with this. And quickly.

Right, I've divvied up all the chemists that have not been

done yet. I want you to go there, I want you to talk to the staff, I want

you to make them aware and I want you to double check their security.

We've been given a tip off that Mr Aran Garvey is behind it all.

I'm sure you know Aran. Let's bring him in. Eyes and ears open, please.

We'd like some hard evidence by the end of the day.

Danny, you've drawn the short straw.

I'm going to jump in with you.

Come on, then. What are you waiting for?

KEYPAD BEEPS

Argh!

Ooh! Ah!

Oops.

(Oh, you stupid...)

-Here, let me.

-Oh, thank you.

Ah, some improvement, then?

-Sorry?

-You can put some weight on your foot.

Um, no. Not really. Well, a little bit, but it's still pretty painful.

I was... I was just trying it out,

actually, to see how bad it is.

I probably should be a bit more careful.

-Mm. Did the consultant say that you should be resting it?

-Yes, I think.

-He wasn't completely clear.

-Oh. Who was it?

-At the hospital?

-Yeah.

-Mr Platt.

-Jeff? He's normally pretty good.

-Do you want me to put a call in?

-Oh, no. No. it's fine. Don't bother.

-Right, I'd better get on.

-You don't want me to carry anything for you?

No, it's fine. I'll manage, thanks. What is it soldiers say?

-Best foot forward!

-Ha!

It's just a courtesy call to let you know there's been

a spate of burglaries and to check your security.

There's no way the door could be forced. It's steel reinforced.

You'd be surprised. These people are very determined.

Basically, no one gets in without the door code.

And if the wrong code is inputted a third time...

-'Look out! Watch it!'

-GLASS SMASHES

Sorry, I was just explaining,

-the alarm is controlled by a separate code.

-Good.

These people are serious, so you need to be very vigilant.

They have threatened violence in the past, so don't get in the way.

-No have-a-go heroics, OK?

-Understood.

-RADIO:

-Control 7244. Sarge?

Inspector Callaghan's asking for your ETA back at the station.

Received. Tell him I won't be long.

You want to take the shop on the high street...?

Argh!

KNOCK AT DOOR Yeah?

I was just wondering if you'd spoken to Mr Platt.

-What?

-Don't worry, it's fine.

Valerie.

Take a seat.

Is there something you want to tell me?

You know when I said he was unclear?

-I was actually being a bit unclear.

-OK.

So, what did he actually say?

That I can walk normally now.

And when exactly did he say that?

About two weeks ago.

I know. I know, I feel terrible. And I know it's wrong, but...

The truth is, I had started to really enjoy the attention.

The sympathy.

And it's quite an icebreaker, socially.

People... Men talk to you.

And they help you.

And that made me feel really special.

You think I'm pathetic, don't you?

Milking it for all it's worth.

I am such a horrible, selfish person.

I'm not judging you. You've done what you've done.

And now you're going to have to deal with it.

Yeah, but how?

I can't tell everyone. They will hate me.

-Strong.

-I can't make a sudden miraculous recovery.

They're all going to know.

What shall I do?

There must be some way out of this and you've helped me so much.

-PHONE RINGS

-I just need...

Dr Granger.

Yeah, yeah. I did send through for his test results.

OK. Yeah, fine. Thank you.

Bye.

-Can't you just give me like a bandage or something?

-No!

-You need to go to A&E.

-It'll only take a minute. Can't you just do it?

No! I can't. Ayesh, come and look at this, please.

-Ooh, that looks nasty. What did you do?

-Fell off my bike.

-I said he should go to A&E.

-It's OK. I've got a gap. I can take a look.

-Thank you.

-You might still have to go to hospital, mind. But come on.

Oi! What the hell are you doing?

No need for you to get hurt. Pointless.

-I've already called the police.

-Course you have.

-Just get out of here!

-Yeah, won't be long, boss.

Almost done.

Don't do anything stupid. Yeah?

Do you want me to shut the door? You can't be too careful, can you?

So, are you going to tell me how this really happened, then?

-I already have.

-Yeah, right. Your address is on your notes.

I grew up a few blocks away from you.

A couple of lads have been hassling me.

Chased me down an alley, fell on some glass.

How long's that been going on for, then?

-I can deal with it.

-I know what that means. More trouble.

-I'm a fast runner.

-Not fast enough. Obviously.

-It's not like you, skiving off work.

-What?

Well, popping round here, out of the blue, inviting me to lunch.

-What is going on?

-If you don't want to go, just say.

-No.

-RADIO:

-Control to 7244. Any news on your ETA, Sarge? Over.

I'm on my way. Out.

Ooh, are you in trouble?

-Wish I'd not bothered now.

-Oh, don't say that. I want to go to lunch.

-Where do you fancy?

-I really don't care.

Oh.

Well, Ruhma's been banging on about that new deli in the high street.

Do you want to try that?

Are you all right? You're miles away.

I wonder when we'll get our next kid.

Erm, well, you know the deal. Social services call when they call.

Usually when I'm getting in the bath.

-I'm looking forward to it, actually.

-Me too. We're ready, aren't we?

Did you not sleep well?

Make sure you get that dressed again.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hang on, son!

-Get out of my way!

Oh, yeah, and what are these?

-I wouldn't do that if I were you. All right, then.

-Aw!

I'm arresting you for possession of drugs. You don't have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned

something you later rely on in court.

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

Got the phone?

Go! Go!

Now! Ditch the clothes!

DISTANT SIRENS

All done.

Sergeant, I was expecting you.

I'm dealing with another pharmacy robbery.

-I thought we were on top of that.

-Yeah, well.

Have you made any arrests?

Yeah, I've caught a kid with some prescription drugs which I think are from the last job.

We're checking his phone and I'm hoping to get a description from the pharmacist.

Rob,

I'm going to cut to the chase.

I need to assess your fitness to work.

Frankly, having seen such a major trauma,

no-one would question your needing to...

I'm fine.

It's crucial you deal with any unnecessary feelings of guilt

or responsibility. You've seen plenty of officers carrying that weight around, right?

-I don't feel guilty. There's nothing I could have done.

-OK.

Let's refer it to occupational health and maybe get you some

counselling. What you saw... That kind of thing sticks with you, whether you want it to or not.

Are you saying that I'm not fit to work?

No, I'm saying you're human, like the rest of us.

There's no shame in getting help when you need it.

You know how the system works.

Yeah, I know that counselling doesn't work.

Just do me a favour and try it.

Go through the motions, tick all the boxes. OK.

You never know, it might help.

And taking some leave might too.

Give you a bit of a breather. A bit of time to think.

-Time to think? Is that a joke?

-You've got plenty of leave accrued.

-Use it.

-There isn't a problem, sir.

Rob, what did you do after the driver's death?

-What did I do?

-Yes, immediately after.

-Because my understanding is you walked away.

-Mr Peters.

This is the pharmacist. I need to get that description.

My office, soon as you're done.

Should have taken your warning more seriously.

No clue how they got in.

We need to get as detailed a description as possible, please, sir.

-Miss Pitman, would you like a cup of tea?

-Oh, no. let me.

-You've waited on me hand and foot, excuse the pun.

-No, nonsense.

Stay where you are. You need to rest as much as possible.

-I don't want to be a burden any more, you know.

-Not at all.

-You need not to rush yourself either.

-That's very kind, but I...

But nothing.

I'm sure you would do the same for me if I was seriously incapacitated.

Yes. Yes. Of course.

Good. We will get you back on your feet before you know it.

-That's not what happened.

-That's exactly what happened.

You saw me, you panicked, and you ran.

I was just trying to get back to college.

Well, of course you were. With these pills.

Because apparently, someone is doing a roaring trade.

They're selling like hot cakes.

I told you, I found them in the street. I was going to hand them in.

How did you hurt your leg, Harry?

See, we've linked these pills to one of the robberies and we've got

a witness who's made a detailed description of two men.

One of which is Aran Garvey.

Now, it's not too difficult to make the next link, is it?

Not seen Aran for months.

Really? Not even a phone call or a quick text?

No, nothing.

And there was I thinking that you were tight as a family. Shame.

Although your phone may tell a different story.

-We're checking it now.

-KNOCK AT DOOR

Come in.

For the tape, PC Dennis has entered the room.

Thank you.

Interview terminated at six minutes past 12.

-Is that it? Can I go now?

-Not unless you've got something helpful to say.

You know, if I were you I'd make yourself comfortable.

You're going to be here for a while.

Dr Vere. I'm here to see Inspector Callaghan.

-What are you doing here?

-The inspector asked me to drop in.

Just to give a run through of the incident from a medical perspective.

-Guess it helps to get as many views on it as possible.

-Yeah.

-Are you coping all right?

-Me? I'm busy.

I've actually got a session with our therapist, Megan.

Hopefully it'll help me just process it all a bit better.

Good to act quickly.

-Exactly. That's what I thought.

-Give it time, you'll be fine.

-Excuse me. I need to...

-Yeah, yeah, sure. Carry on.

-Catch you later.

Yeah.

-See you later.

-Good luck.

How are you doing?

Listen,

this is normal to feel like this. You're in a bit of shock.

So don't worry about it and take your time.

-I thought more would come back to me.

-It will.

It will come back to you.

But can you give me a description now?

They were wearing balaclavas.

-I'm sorry. It was all so fast.

-That's all right. It's OK.

It's...fine.

I still don't understand it. The door was locked.

I'm absolutely sure of it.

I'm not waiting much longer. Either you charge me or I'm out of here.

Aran Garvey.

Now there was I thinking that you were one of Letherbridge's

master criminals, but then you go driving down the High Street

with no brake lights and no insurance.

Genius.

-It's not my car, is it? It's a loaner.

-Whose is it?

-A bloke in the pub. Can't remember.

-Which pub?

-The pub on Finnan Street, near the pharmacy?

-No.

-Ever been in that pharmacy?

-I don't get ill.

Ever been in the pharmacy in Gerrard Road?

Where were you last Tuesday at 6pm?

Around my mate's, playing FIFA.

-Have you got names and addresses?

-Two other mates were there too.

-Do you want theirs as well?

-Three alibis. Wow.

Oh, you've got to have a GCSE in Maths to be a copper, then?

Talking of mathematics, what do you think the probability is of

you and your cousin being arrested on the same day?

-Which one? Big family.

-You know exactly which one.

You're always harassing us all.

Of course, I'm talking about Harry.

Now, Harry has been a mine of information and so has his phone.

Nothing to do with me. I can't remember the last time I saw him.

-Really? But you're family.

-Used to.

Cut him loose. Too much hassle.

And we found some drugs on Harry.

They'd be his mum's.

And we've linked those drugs to one of the robberies.

Now, where do you think Harry says he got them from?

No idea.

He lies about everything.

Always has.

Blood really doesn't run thick with you, does it?

You get dressed up to come in today?

-What?

-It's not your usual gear. Have you ditched the trackies?

You've got nothing, have you?

-Thanks for your time.

-No problem.

I hope it helped clarify everything.

-See you later, Rob.

-Bye, Sid.

-Have you got what we need?

-No, not really.

The pharmacist is in a bit of shock. He can't really remember much,

but what he can remember is they were wearing balaclavas.

Oh, for crying out...! What about the phone?

-We've got nothing to tie it to Garvey.

-So we can't even charge him?

No, I'm going to interview the cousin again in a minute.

-Lean on him. We need to put Garvey away.

-I will.

-He'll crack.

-Who's in with you?

Danny Wark.

-I need that report on the RTC on my desk by nine tomorrow morning.

-Yeah.

Right, can you process Mr Garvey's release, please,

while I get on with this one?

Catch you later, cuz.

Back off! Don't touch me, right?

-So, was that a threat out there?

-What?

Aran's little game. Was he trying to frighten you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

There's no shame in being scared of Aran.

-I'm not scared.

-You're not the first person he's dragged down here.

Bet you don't know half of the stuff he's done.

The people he's hurt, the lives he's ruined.

-Is that it? Can I go now?

-No.

Why? I've done nothing.

Really?

You see, we've found the video you took of the back of the

pharmacy on your phone.

Potentially, you are an accomplice.

We know that Aran Garvey has done all the robberies with a mate.

We know that because we've got a description from a pharmacist.

I know this must be tough for you, because family is family, right?

Oh, no, it's not because I've just interviewed Aran and

he hung you out to dry.

He told me that his family cut you out years ago.

He called you a liar and he said that you are not his problem

any more. He's dumped you, Harry.

Which means that you are implicated in four violent robberies,

plus the pills I found on you,

so we are talking about a seriously long sentence.

And we're talking about proper prison, now you're 18.

That's big boy stuff.

All you did was stand on a crate

and take a video. I understand that.

But a court won't.

Harry, I can't help you, unless you

give me something to work with, OK?

Oh, come on. You're not stupid.

Did you seriously think that Aran was going to cover for you?

He doesn't care about you. He's made that clearly obvious.

So, don't make a mistake that you could regret forever.

You have to think about your own future.

I mean, who's going to look after your mum, if you're in prison?

This could be the biggest choice you ever make.

You don't have to be Aran's puppet.

You don't know nothing about me or my family!

I'm not some dumb newbie you can just lean on and make me a snitch!

Do you get me? We are done here!

I have nothing else to say to you!

Just charge me and sort my bail out, yeah?

I mean, I'm not saying it doesn't hurt, but it's all about focus.

-See?

-Wow! It's amazing, cos only this morning...

Well, I read this thing about using your brain to displace the

pain and it's really working.

Well, I'm very pleased for you, Miss Pitman.

But perhaps you should see a doctor,

just so that you do not do any further damage.

Perhaps Dr Granger.

Oh, no, honestly. No, it's fine.

Feels great.

Actually, it's quite a relief.

I hated being so dependent.

Don't get me wrong, you've all been lovely. And helpful. But...

It's just great to see you back on both feet.

Isn't it?

Don't go forgetting that you've only been bailed, Harry.

This isn't over.

When forensics are done, we'll have you back in for questioning.

Whatever.

Last word of advice.

Get off. You don't touch me.

You think you're safe out here, don't you? Running with the pack.

But you'd better get ready because eventually,

they'll turn on you.

Haz!

Rob?

Rob?

-'Look out!'

-SCREAMS

Rob?

You ready?

Yeah. That is exactly what happened.

I walked off the scene and sat in the car.

-Then you drove away?

-I'm fully aware of what I did.

-Well, under the circumstances...

-And it won't happen again.

I hope you never have to see something like that again.

You see, I'm not making any excuses.

I was totally aware of what I was doing.

-Were you?

-Yeah, and it wasn't shock.

-Then what?

It was a rational choice, a totally rational choice.

The incident was over. Literally.

There's nothing else I could have done.

Although, I do accept that it was selfish to leave my

-colleagues there to deal with it.

-Nobody's judging you.

I would.

I just needed to hear it all from your perspective, right to the end.

Well, that's it right to the end. Are we done?

Yes, unless there's anything else you can think of.

No.

Look, Rob, I just need to reiterate.

This is all just procedure. No one thinks you did anything wrong.

Thank you.

-Ayesha!

-Get you!

Hey, Winifred! You're looking particularly lovely today.

Sorry.

Couldn't help myself.

Maybe now would be a good time to talk about the incident.
