The Bill S25E31 Smash and Grab [Part 2]
Transcript
00:00Previously, on The Bill.
00:04We're working on the basis that this is a family job bankrolled by Curtis Jensen.
00:08Jade Hopkins was the decoy at the shop.
00:10Do it!
00:11I don't believe Jade Hopkins had anything to do with that robbery.
00:13Armed robbers love their kids too, you know.
00:15Stop! Stop! Stop!
00:30I knew something could go wrong.
00:39Full proof, we were told.
00:40And look, two of them.
00:42There was only supposed to be one.
00:44We were told there was one.
00:45She was supposed to be on her own.
00:47I don't know that.
00:48Yeah? Then who's she?
00:49What was she doing there?
00:51I'm going to take the gags off, yeah?
00:52I want everything nice and quiet.
00:55Agreed?
00:57No.
01:03My baby! He's on his own! My baby!
01:05Shut it! Just shut up!
01:08He was upstairs!
01:09Just stay calm, Jade, OK?
01:10I just want to get back to him!
01:12Get her! Get her again! Shut her up!
01:15He's just scared!
01:17Then who are you?
01:18What are you doing at our place?
01:19OK. My name's Millie.
01:21I'm a friend. I was just visiting.
01:23He promised to be quiet.
01:25We promised to be good.
01:27All right?
01:36He'll be OK.
01:38I was trying not to annoy him, yeah?
01:48The neighbour said she was working by the sound of the car screeching down the alley.
01:52She took a quick look and noticed that the side gate and the kitchen door were open.
01:56This is Jade Hopkins' place.
01:58Did we interview her yesterday?
01:59Yeah. She was at the shop during the armed robbery.
02:01The one we thought was being used as a decoy?
02:03Yeah. We've got her brother Ronnie in custody.
02:09Police! Hello?
02:12Police!
02:16The baby.
02:17Jade's got a little boy.
02:21He's in here, Sal.
02:22Hello, mate.
02:25How are you?
02:27Where's Mummy gone to, then, eh?
02:29Oh, well, he seems OK.
02:31Better get a doctor to check him out.
02:33There's no-one else here?
02:34Well, Jade's a decent mum.
02:35She would never leave her baby on his own.
02:37Sierra, I was...
02:41Rise and shine.
02:45Oh, it's you.
02:46What were you expecting? Room service?
02:48Inspector Weston wants to have a word.
02:50My wife's got to come back at a decent hour.
02:52He could do, but I think you'll want to hear this.
02:54Your sister's gone missing.
02:56Officer's turned up at her empty house to find her son alone upstairs.
03:00She left Lewis on his own.
03:02There's no way she'd do that.
03:04And what about her husband, Jeff? Is she likely to be with him?
03:06They're separated.
03:07They can hardly stand to be in the same room.
03:09OK, what about her mates?
03:10She ain't really got any mates.
03:12Lost touch with them when she got married.
03:14Like I said, she'd never go out and leave her kid.
03:17Well, I'm sure she'll turn up soon enough.
03:19No, listen.
03:20You don't know her like I do.
03:22If she left Lewis on his own, then there's something wrong.
03:25Very wrong.
03:33I guess you ain't too comfy there.
03:36So I'm going to take the gags off, yeah?
03:39Can I trust you not to do anything stupid?
03:50Yeah.
03:52So much better when we're all civilised, innit?
03:54So what the hell do we do now, eh?
03:56Do we stay here? Do we dump this one?
03:58We're told to stay here and wait.
04:00So that's what we'll do, yeah?
04:02Where we get the same amount of cash regardless of how many birds we got here.
04:06Let's just sit, watch a bit of telly and chill, yeah?
04:14You should tell them you're a copper.
04:16We'd be out of here in no time.
04:17No way.
04:19We could be in more danger, OK?
04:21They'd panic, God knows what would happen.
04:23Just...
04:24Look, you heard them.
04:25They're waiting for a phone call, OK?
04:27It'd be a straight cash exchange.
04:29We just need to be patient.
04:30Cash?
04:31For me?
04:32Is this about the photos?
04:33About Ronnie's debt to that Curtis place?
04:35Do you want me to shut you two up?
04:38Millie, not with you, sir.
04:39I'm sorry, Mum, I haven't seen her.
04:40It's not like her to be late.
04:42Ben?
04:43Right.
04:44Apologies to CID for dragging you out of your bed so early,
04:47but at four o'clock this morning,
04:49uniform were called to Jade Hopkins' house.
04:51When they arrived, the only person they found was Lewis Hopkins,
04:54the man who was in the car.
04:56He was in the car?
04:57Yes.
04:58He was in the car?
04:59Yes.
05:00He was in the car?
05:01Yes.
05:02He was in the car?
05:03Yes.
05:04He was in the car?
05:05Yes.
05:06The only person they found was Lewis Hopkins,
05:08Jade's nine-month-old little boy.
05:10We've no idea where she is or why she's gone.
05:13Well, I spoke to Ronnie Lane earlier,
05:15and he said there's no way she would have left him.
05:17Yeah, but that could just be a story they put out.
05:19Look what a good mother she is, never leave her kid.
05:21Perfect cover for a woman prepared to use her child as a decoy
05:24while her brother gets away with 70 grand.
05:26Well, you think she disappeared because she thought we were onto her?
05:28I think it's a possibility.
05:30But I tell you what I think is more likely,
05:32is that she was taken to make sure the big brother keeps his mouth shut.
05:35Curtis Jensen bankrolling the robbery.
05:37Bill Palmer, the man we arrested yesterday with over 20 grand in cash in him,
05:41is Curtis Jensen's right-hand man.
05:43Now, he's keeping quiet about his boss's involvement,
05:45willing to take the rap himself rather than land Jensen in it.
05:48I think Jade's been taken to make sure that Ronnie Lane does the same,
05:52keep his trap shut.
05:53Well, that would certainly explain why the surveillance shots were sent to Ronnie.
05:57Yeah, we know where your sister is, so playboy and do the robbery.
06:00OK, so where are we at?
06:03Er, Eddie's on his way to the house with forensics.
06:06Roger found Jade's phone and wallet.
06:08There's no leads there, and I've called all the local hospitals.
06:11No-one matching Jade's description's been admitted so far.
06:14Has anyone tried to contact Lane at all?
06:16Well, there's been no calls to his mobile.
06:18Well, no matter how good a mum Jade Hopkins is,
06:21it's possible that she's just gone off the rails for a night,
06:23had too many shandies or something,
06:25so I think for the time being, we keep an open mind, OK?
06:30Hmm.
06:31Any luck, Eddie?
06:32Look, I can tell you there were two men here.
06:36How do you know they were men?
06:37How many women do you know of size 12 feet?
06:40Well, I know some big girls.
06:42Yeah? Well, you can introduce them to me.
06:45Well, as you can see, there was a struggle over here by the door.
06:49Now, I can identify the men's shoes from this old print here,
06:54but there are two other sets of prints here.
06:58Women.
06:59You sure?
07:00Could be the same woman.
07:01Different shoes, different days.
07:03I'll have to do more checks.
07:06Any luck?
07:07None with a CCTV, ma'am.
07:09I think there's plenty of cars and vans leaving the area,
07:12but none with indexes showing them as stolen.
07:14Nothing suspicious in the way they're being driven?
07:16Nothing.
07:17Any news on our absent friend?
07:19I tried Millie's mobile, but it went straight through to voicemail,
07:22so I called her place.
07:24Her flatmate said she hasn't been home all night.
07:27Nah, it's pretty high character, ma'am,
07:29but we're thinking Millie might have got lucky.
07:31Or unlucky, as the case may be.
07:33She's still got to explain to me why she's late.
07:35Very late.
07:36Might just try again, ma'am.
07:38I'll do it.
07:39Thank you.
07:43How's it going?
07:53Hello?
07:54Hello?
07:55Yes, I'm trying to contact PC Millie Brown.
07:57You wouldn't happen to know where she is, would you?
07:59No.
08:00Well, when you see her, could you tell her this is her boss, please, Inspector Weston?
08:05This is Millie's phone?
08:09Inspector Weston, this is Eddie.
08:11Eddie?
08:12Where are you?
08:14Jade Hopkins' house.
08:25OK, listen up.
08:27Millie's phone's been found at Jade's place,
08:29and a car has been found parked close by.
08:31If Jade has been taken, it's likely Millie's been taken too.
08:35What was Millie doing there?
08:36She was worried about Jade.
08:38She did tell you, Sarge, and she was right.
08:40Looks like Jade needed the protection Millie asked you for after all.
08:43Millie was getting too involved.
08:45I knew it would affect her professional judgment, and look, I was right.
08:47She shouldn't have been there, Roger.
08:48She knew Jade was in danger and wanted to reassure her.
08:51Some coppers are like that.
08:52She was doing her job.
08:53OK, have you both finished?
08:55Look, bottom line, how's she going to cope?
08:58She's got a level head on her,
09:00but she's not the sort of girl to think outside the box, if you know what I mean.
09:03Right.
09:04So we work on the assumption that Curtis Jensen is behind all this,
09:07and he bankrolled the armed robbery that took place at the toy store yesterday, yeah?
09:10Yeah. Word for a while has been that along with drug dealing,
09:12which he hides through legit business and money lending,
09:14he's the villain's banker.
09:15He funds jobs for a sizeable cut.
09:17He knows where he's in custody,
09:18and it's all to make sure that he keeps his money.
09:20If we go in heavy and search Jensen's premises,
09:22we've got one chance to get it right,
09:23and we can't guarantee that the place we hit is where Millie and Jade are.
09:26Well, I don't think he's going to hold him at any of his properties.
09:28He's cleverer than that.
09:29In that case, we'll oboe him,
09:31at least until we know what we're dealing with.
09:33Ben, Sally, you know the drill.
09:34Keep an eye on how Jensen's behaving, his body language,
09:36where he's going, who he's meeting.
09:38Gov, I'd like to talk to Ronnie again, if that's OK.
09:41Yeah, OK.
09:42You're still SIO. Keep me posted.
09:45Can you two go over everything we've got on the armed robbery?
09:47See if you can find anything.
09:48Can you two go over everything we've got on the armed robbery?
09:50See if there's anything we've missed, anyone we haven't talked to.
09:52If Jensen is behind this, there's some sort of connection we haven't proved yet.
09:55No problem.
09:58What's happening with Jade's son?
10:00His father's coming in to collect him.
10:03We'll get her back, Roger.
10:05We'd better, Sarge.
10:09One of our officers is missing.
10:11We think that she was checking up on your sister last night
10:13and has become embroiled in whatever mess you got her into.
10:15Hold on. We don't know this has got anything to do with me.
10:17Oh, come off it, Ronnie.
10:20Yesterday you told us that Jade was as straight as a diad.
10:22She doesn't move in the circles you do.
10:24And she's got nothing to do with the armed robbery.
10:27You planted the gun in her son's cot as the perfect hiding place for it.
10:33You involved her.
10:37Now, I've got a theory.
10:40I think whoever it was that organised this robbery,
10:42and I think it's Curtis Jensen,
10:44has taken your sister to make sure you keep quiet.
10:48You see, that's the only reason I can think of why anyone would want to send you these.
10:52They say I know everything about your sister.
10:56That I could pick her up any time I wanted
10:58and there's nothing you could do to stop me.
11:01There's a reason these were sent, isn't there, Ronnie?
11:04I think it's about time you told me.
11:09I was late with her payment.
11:11It should have been two hundred.
11:13I was one day late.
11:15They put interest on top.
11:17Suddenly it was four.
11:18I said I couldn't pay.
11:20And what happened?
11:22I expected another beating.
11:24But they just walked off.
11:26Not a word.
11:28A few hours later, these came through my door.
11:31They must have been following her for days, weeks.
11:33Why didn't you tell us?
11:35Sure.
11:36Some hard nuts insisted that I pay off my ex-wife's drug debts.
11:39I can't.
11:40He's threatening my sister, I tell you.
11:42We could have helped.
11:43You've got no idea what this man is, have you?
11:47Do you really think I'd commit armed robbery on a toy shop
11:51unless I was desperate?
11:52We know all there is to know about Jensen.
11:55The drug racket, the extortion.
11:57And the fact that he could do me and Jade some serious damage.
12:01You think he's scared of you?
12:03Believe me, he's not.
12:05He's too smart, too well organised.
12:09He's got my sister.
12:10My only option is to get the money to him somehow.
12:22You should have run by now.
12:26I said...
12:27I heard you.
12:28Calm down, eh?
12:30What if they don't call, eh?
12:32What do we do with him?
12:33You don't have to worry about us. We won't be any trouble.
12:35We don't want your opinion!
12:37Your opinion?
12:39You're doing yourself no good here, bro.
12:42I've got to go.
12:43I've got to get Sam to sort me out.
12:45You can wait.
12:46I need it now.
12:47We wait for the call, that was the deal.
12:48I need her here, OK?
12:50This is burning a hole.
12:52We can wipe that slate clean.
12:54Why don't we start again?
12:58Oi!
12:59What?
13:00Go and take it with you.
13:08Excuse me.
13:09Sorry, what was your name?
13:11I didn't tell you it.
13:13Is there any chance we can get a swig of water?
13:15We're both really thirsty.
13:17Yeah.
13:18Thanks.
13:31I don't know what to do.
13:33I don't know what to do.
13:36Thank you.
13:41I ain't an animal, you know.
13:43Yeah, we know.
13:44I ain't got no truck with you.
13:46It's just business, yeah?
13:49Yeah, yeah.
13:51We appreciate that.
14:06The hospital confirmed that Lewis is absolutely fine.
14:08Thanks.
14:09Geoff, how you doing?
14:11Any news?
14:12Nothing yet.
14:13We're working on a theory that Curtis Jensen
14:15could be behind the disappearance.
14:17Jensen?
14:18You know him?
14:19Yeah, our paths have crossed.
14:21We found some photos of Jade and the baby.
14:23Someone had been following her.
14:25She'd been targeted.
14:26What?
14:27What for?
14:28Why?
14:29Well, we think it might have something to do
14:31with Ronnie's involvement in the armed robbery.
14:33But we don't know for certain.
14:34We're working on it.
14:35When did you find these photos?
14:36Yesterday.
14:37So you're telling me you knew she was being targeted yesterday?
14:40And you left her without any kind of backup?
14:42We thought that she was part of the crew
14:44that carried out the armed robbery,
14:46and because of that, not in any immediate danger.
14:48Jade?
14:49Part of a crew?
14:50You don't even know her.
14:52You don't have any idea who she is.
14:54And if anything's happened to her,
14:56I'm holding you personally responsible.
14:58Do you hear me?
15:04Nice place.
15:05I like gastropubs.
15:07The pub's a pub, isn't it?
15:09Apparently, Jenson owns this place
15:11with a string of tanning salons, bars and clubs.
15:13If he's hurt Millie, I'll personally fry him on his sunbed.
15:17Do you think Millie will get through this?
15:19Honestly, I don't know.
15:21But she's got her head screwed on.
15:23I just hope that's enough.
15:25Just depends how much Jenson wants to prove his point, doesn't it?
15:28I mean, cross me and this is what will happen.
15:30Yeah, it's easy to say that now, isn't it?
15:32You could say she shouldn't have been there in the first place.
15:35But we will slap her legs for that when we get her back.
15:40So what do we do now, then?
15:42Do we wake here or do we go inside?
15:44Can you see through walls?
15:46I'll slap your legs at the minute. Go on.
15:49So you two are brothers, right?
15:52Who's the oldest?
15:54Guess.
15:56You.
15:59He's the one who gets looked after.
16:02I'm the youngest.
16:04I'm the oldest.
16:06I'm the youngest.
16:08I'm the oldest.
16:10I'm the oldest.
16:12I'm the oldest.
16:14I'm the oldest.
16:16You get looked after?
16:18I've got a younger sister.
16:21Science, I bet.
16:23Always wanted an older brother, to be honest.
16:26Someone to beat up the mean kids at school.
16:29Yeah, well...
16:31Don't always work like that.
16:40How did you get into all this?
16:42Money. What else makes people do anything?
16:47You're both addicts?
16:50I'm not judging, OK? It's not my business. I just wondered why you'd be so desperate to do something this risky.
16:57I ain't risky. As long as everything stays simple.
17:07What's the matter?
17:09Is there any chance I can stand up for a minute just to stretch?
17:14OK. Just you. You stay there.
17:30He shoots and he's shot!
17:34What do you think you're doing? Are you stupid?
17:37You need a stretch. Yeah, well tough. This ain't no school trip. Tie her up!
17:42I'll get myself up. Shut up and sit down.
17:45Well tie her up!
17:49I'm gonna cook this up.
17:55Right. I've cross-referenced the staff names from the toy shop and the NPS database. Nothing's coming up.
18:01Same. All known associates of Ronnie Mayne. Dead ends. No links to Jensen.
18:07Lawrence Till. What, the shop manager? Yeah, you interviewed him. What's his story?
18:11Bit of a loser, really. Shooting his mouth off in the pub about how much money the shop was taking.
18:16Ronnie overheard him. He ended up getting shot in the shoulder.
18:19Why was he putting up a fight?
18:21Well, according to Ronnie, Lawrence got shot when he fought back by accident.
18:25He doesn't seem like the have-a-go hero type.
18:28I mean, why would he fight back when Ronnie Mayne's got a gun to his head? It's not like it's his business or anything.
18:33Maybe he thought Ronnie wasn't gonna hurt him.
18:35Because he was in on it with Dunn.
18:39There you go, Lawrence Till.
18:41Investigated two years ago by Essex police after an armed robber went into the shop he was manager of.
18:46They couldn't prove his involvement.
18:48Let's go and see what Mr Till has to say for himself.
18:55Feeling better, Mr Till?
18:57No sleep. Nightmares.
18:59Must play on your mind. Not me, him.
19:01So they say lightning doesn't strike twice, eh, Lawrence?
19:04Bit of a coincidence. You were manager at a barn supermarket in Essex when he was robbed two years ago.
19:09That was nothing to do with me.
19:10What, you think he'd volunteer to take a bullet in this one?
19:14Remember your mate Ronnie Lane from the pub?
19:17We've got him in custody. He's admitted to the armed robbery.
19:20What, you arrested anyone?
19:21We heard that you more or less let those robbers in during the robbery in Essex.
19:24They threatened me.
19:25It worked for you once, thought you might try it again.
19:27What? No, I was terrified.
19:29Come on, Lawrence, we've seen the CCTV footage from the shop.
19:32You can't honestly think we're going to believe you take on an armed man.
19:35You knew you were in no immediate danger.
19:37He was shot.
19:39The doctor says it's no more than a flesh wound. Grey shoulder.
19:42I want to see my lawyer.
19:43I think we can arrange that, cos you're nicked.
19:45What?
19:50That's nice of stress. No phone calls.
19:53He didn't seem very tense.
19:54He's been in business a long time, innit?
19:56The kind of things he gets up to is second nature by now.
19:59It's amazing to me that somebody like that...
20:01Jensen!
20:03Where is she?
20:04I found this round at Ronnie's place.
20:07My wife in exchange for the money. My wife!
20:09I don't know what you're talking about.
20:11You're telling me you've got nothing to do with my wife going missing, Jensen?
20:14I'm telling you to get your facts straight before you go around throwing accusations about her.
20:18Get her, man.
20:20If you've so much as touched her...
20:24I'll kill you!
20:28I'm not drinking like that, you're nicked. Do you understand me?
20:30PC Armstrong, Sunhill.
20:31Lucky for us you were here.
20:33I know he's dancing! I know you're behind this!
20:35You need to calm down.
20:36I don't know what he's talking about.
20:38You're nicked.
20:41I'm going to need you to come down to the station and make a statement, Mr Jensen.
20:44Look, I was afraid I'd forget about the whole thing.
20:46He's made some pretty serious allegations against you.
20:49All right. Anything I can do to corporate?
20:54Geoff Hopkins broke into Ronnie's house trying to find something useful.
20:58Obviously they'll trust us to sort things if they'll nap on the doormat.
21:0170,000 gets Jade free.
21:03We need to get this checked by forensics.
21:05Hopkins is convinced that Jensen's responsible for his wife's disappearance.
21:09Jensen would never send a note to a man he knows would never receive it.
21:11He knows that Ronnie's in custody, all right,
21:13so I don't think it's going to kill us to have a quick word with him,
21:15confront him with a few of our theories.
21:18We've brought Lawrence to him for questioning, Geoff.
21:20Yeah, he clammed up in the hospital, demanded a lawyer,
21:22but pretty much confessed all to the robbery on the way here.
21:25Can we link him to Jensen?
21:26Well, he claims to have never heard of him.
21:28You still think Jensen's behind all this, eh?
21:30I think he knows more than he's cracking on.
21:32Will.
21:34Thanks for agreeing to see us, Mr Jensen.
21:36My pleasure.
21:37We're investigating an armed robbery which took place yesterday
21:39involving a Mr Ronnie Lane.
21:42But of course you already know Mr Lane, don't you?
21:45We're acquainted.
21:46His sister's been kidnapped.
21:48Yeah, so Geoff said. Shocking.
21:50We're working on the theory that you know something about it.
21:52Based on?
21:53Based on the fact that Ronnie carried out the robbery to pay a debt to you.
21:58Based on the fact that we confiscated the stolen money,
22:00which means he's still in debt to you.
22:02And the fact that someone...
22:06Someone has been following Lane's sister.
22:10Now, I know you don't have a very high opinion of me, Sergeant.
22:13True.
22:14But I'd never get involved in anything that could possibly harm a child.
22:17Is that a fact?
22:18I think you kidnapped Jade to make sure Ronnie Lane keeps still.
22:22I've got nothing whatsoever to do with the disappearance of Lane's sister.
22:26To be honest, I find the idea of a kidnap desperate and cheap.
22:29Lane owed you big time.
22:31With all due respect, Sergeant, 20 grand's hardly big time.
22:35This morning I ordered over 15 grand's worth of wine.
22:38Your reputation's worth far more than 20 grand, though.
22:42This isn't about money.
22:44It's about position.
22:46You don't like being disrespected.
22:49And you'll do anything to make sure that you're not.
22:53You've got anything on me?
22:56Apart from a misguided opinion?
23:02I thought not.
23:03Well, as you're not going to charge me with anything, gentlemen, I'll be on my way.
23:10I'm saying Ronnie my best, aren't you?
23:13Tell him I'll be praying for his sister.
23:22What are you doing?
23:23Trying to get out of here. What do you think?
23:25Jade, if they catch you, they might hurt you.
23:26Who says they won't anyway?
23:29Listen, I'm making progress, OK? Just...
23:32They'll be over soon, yeah?
23:41Yeah, it's me.
23:44What? Say that again?
23:46What is it? What's wrong?
23:49What?
23:53What do we do with...
23:58What?
24:01No!
24:02What's up? What is it?
24:03The feds have got all the money!
24:05It's all over!
24:07All this! All this is for nothing!
24:09We ain't going to get a beam!
24:10Deal's off.
24:12What do we do with him?
24:15We get rid of him!
24:23They're going to kill us. They're going to kill us!
24:25Just calm down, OK? I really need you to just hold it together right now, OK?
24:30My baby! I just want to see Lucy!
24:33Jade, listen to me, OK? Listen.
24:36You carry on.
24:37We might not get out of this. Do you understand me, Jade?
24:39You've got to see this. Just get us out of here.
24:41No, I need you to do exactly what I ask, OK?
24:45What did they say?
24:46They said it was our problem.
24:48Then we let them go.
24:49They can ID us.
24:50We'll get out of the country.
24:51They can ID us!
24:52Nick, Si.
24:54Just hear me out, OK?
24:56If you let us go, I promise you, we'll keep our mouths shut.
25:01We don't want you to get in any trouble. We just want to walk away from this.
25:04Then who asked you?
25:05Well, if you let us go, you've got two less problems to deal with.
25:09They don't know our full names.
25:11They brought me in the back of a van in the dark.
25:13I'm not going to let them get away with this.
25:15They don't know our full names.
25:17They brought me in the back of a van in the dark.
25:19They don't know where we live.
25:21We let them go.
25:23Ain't no argument.
25:24You know, this isn't your fault.
25:26OK, you've been let down, but no harm's been done.
25:30Yeah, you drop us off.
25:32You can forget this ever happened.
25:34Yeah, we can go back to our lives, see our families.
25:37Jade can get to see her baby son again.
25:41Just think about it, please.
25:46BEEPING
25:52I checked Jensen's alibi for the time when Millie and Jade went missing.
25:55Solid.
25:56But that just means he wasn't there, not that he wasn't involved.
25:59I know Jensen's behind those surveillance photographs.
26:02And he's ruthless enough to do it.
26:04He doesn't quite add up yet, but he's our prime suspect.
26:07Millie and Jade are still at risk.
26:09We searched his premises.
26:16You're in luck, ladies.
26:18After consulting my brother here,
26:20I've decided that we should release you back into the wild,
26:23back to your natural habitat.
26:26We'll drop you off where we picked you up.
26:28Or back home.
26:29By the time someone finds you, we'll be well away.
26:32And we can all live happily ever after.
26:35Mick, Mick, cop us.
26:37Yeah, I can see them.
26:39I need a PNC check on a partial index kilo 5 4 2 echo.
26:45White Ford van heading south towards Swallow Road.
26:48What now?
26:50I said, will I hurt you?
26:52I don't know.
26:56I don't know.
26:58SIREN BLARES
27:00I've got something.
27:02The van's part of a fleet leased on a contract to THB.
27:05I've got something.
27:06The van's part of a fleet leased on a contract to THB Retail.
27:09Get this, they're a parent company.
27:11They're toying around.
27:12That's where the armed robbery took place yesterday.
27:14The common denominator here is Lawrence Till.
27:16Don't make sense of the ransom.
27:17Wish it's been bugging me.
27:19So he's a minor player, but he thinks he's being cut out.
27:22He doesn't know Ronnie's been arrested,
27:23and he thinks he's done a runner with the money.
27:25He takes Jade until Ronnie pays.
27:27I'm on a TRU check.
27:28I have to say, I never figured him for the type.
27:30He's paid someone off to do this, but who?
27:32Well, we did a check on all known associates.
27:34But none of any form, anyway.
27:35Lawrence and his wife didn't move from the hospital
27:37until we took them down to the station.
27:39Eddie's been back in touch
27:40with the fingerprint results from the ransom note.
27:42Lawrence Till?
27:43No, none at all. Clean as a whistle.
27:45There's definitely a link between him and the kidnappers.
27:47Let's go and see what he's got to say for himself.
27:50Excuse me.
27:51When are you going to let my husband go?
27:53Well, considering he's just confessed
27:54to cooperating in an armed robbery,
27:55not for the foreseeable future, Mrs Till.
27:57We also have reason to believe he's involved in another matter.
27:59And if we prove that to be the case,
28:01you won't be seeing him for a very long time.
28:03He'll excuse us.
28:05You've already admitted
28:06that you were the inside man on the robbery.
28:08Yes.
28:09Working with Ronnie Lane,
28:10the man who held the shop up at gunpoint
28:11and stole £70,000.
28:13That's right.
28:14But you didn't get your cut, did you, Lawrence?
28:16Must have been a bit miffed.
28:17All that bothered for nothing.
28:19The organisation, the hole in the shoulder,
28:21all that investment and for what?
28:23Big fat zero.
28:25You're sick of getting messed around,
28:26sick of getting sand kicked in your face,
28:28so you decide to come up with a plan to get your own back.
28:31You plan to kidnap Ronnie's sister.
28:33What?
28:34You organise a ransom note,
28:35saying in no uncertain terms what it is you want.
28:37The cash you wrote in exchange for Jade Hopkins.
28:39No, no, no.
28:40Don't mess me around, Lawrence. I'm not in the mood.
28:42Your boys go out to pick up Jade,
28:43but there's someone else there,
28:44someone you weren't expecting,
28:45a real spanner in the works.
28:47A colleague of mine, in fact.
28:49PC Millie Brown.
28:51You've got to believe me.
28:52I am no kidnapper.
28:53You're part of the crew that can pull off an armed robbery.
28:55Why should I believe you?
28:56That was a one-off. I was desperate.
28:58But it wasn't a one-off, was it, Lawrence?
28:59What about the job in Essex?
29:00I was never charged with anything for that,
29:01because I was innocent.
29:03Didn't matter, though.
29:04I still lost my job because of it.
29:06When I got talking to Ronnie in the pub,
29:07I thought,
29:08why not get something out of it this time?
29:10I was fed up with Liv treating me like a loser.
29:13What are you saying? You were henpecked?
29:15Well, I'm sorry, Lawrence,
29:16but that ain't going to stand up on a charge of kidnap.
29:18How many more times?
29:19I never kidnapped anyone, I swear to God.
29:21Where is she?
29:22I don't know.
29:24If anything happens to her,
29:26I will make it my personal business
29:28to make sure that you go down and you never come back out.
29:30I did not order a kidnap!
29:33I wouldn't know how to!
29:37Right, we've just completed the section 17 searches
29:39on Jensen's premises, and there's nothing.
29:41But the CCTV from the pub shows
29:43a number of people who put in an appearance
29:45at least once a day, and they're not customers,
29:47so they never stay for a drink.
29:48They're only ever there for a few minutes.
29:50Brittany's dealing?
29:51Yeah, we're almost certain of it,
29:52but it may be very difficult to prove.
29:54So we've hit a brick wall,
29:56and we've got nothing to tie Jensen to the kidnap.
29:58And Lawrence Teal's insisting
29:59that he's got nothing to do with it.
30:01I can't get my head around any of this.
30:03The van the girls were taking in is directly linked
30:05to the firm that Lawrence Teal works for,
30:07and yet we still can't prove a link
30:08between him and the kidnap.
30:09Excuse me, but I think you should see this.
30:11It's a blow-up of the CCTV
30:12of the van driving past Jade's house.
30:14Thanks, Richard.
30:16Wait a minute, I saw this guy
30:18on the CCTV footage outside Jensen's pub.
30:21One of Jensen's non-drinking customers?
30:23Yeah.
30:24It's not enough to get Jensen talking.
30:26He'll know that he'll never stand up in court on his own.
30:28We need to apply some pressure on him somehow.
30:31How about we let him know
30:32that one of the kidnap victims is a copper?
30:35That's a bit risky.
30:36It is risky, but the longer Millie's out there,
30:38the more dangerous it becomes.
30:40And we're running out of options.
30:42Okay.
30:43Right, Max, if the drugs lead doesn't ruffle his feathers,
30:46do what you have to do.
30:49Three times in one day.
30:52This is getting really boring.
30:54We have reason to believe
30:55you're dealing drugs from these premises.
30:57All right, keep your dogs and beetles,
30:59whatever breeders you use these days,
31:01and let them loose.
31:02We won't find anything.
31:03I wouldn't doubt that.
31:04But, uh, if you don't play ball,
31:07I'll make sure this place is crawling with coppers
31:10every single day of every single week.
31:12And I'm pretty sure that your, um,
31:15And I'm pretty sure that your, um,
31:17clientele won't be too impressed with that.
31:20You're frightening me.
31:22I'm just trying to impress upon you
31:24how important it is that you cooperate.
31:27One of my colleagues is missing.
31:29Kidnapped, in fact, along with Jade Hopkins.
31:31There are some lowlifes
31:32holding two terrified women hostage out there.
31:35I want to find them.
31:36You're getting in my way.
31:39Well, why didn't you say so?
31:41How can I help?
31:45I don't know.
31:51You're lucky.
31:52They're on my mailing list.
31:54Just remember to delete them.
31:57His name's Cy Jones.
31:59Lives with his brother Mick.
32:00This is the last address I have for them.
32:08It's the best thing we've got.
32:09We've had to get off a scumbag like Curtis.
32:11Sometimes you've got to dance with the devil.
32:13Besides, this day will come.
32:15I guarantee it.
32:17Just get in there.
32:18Go through here.
32:20Stop your screaming.
32:21Stay in there.
32:22Don't move.
32:23Try and keep it together, bro.
32:24We've got two birds we can't get rid of.
32:26We can't afford for anything stupid to happen.
32:28Look, you didn't mean for this to happen, okay?
32:29Just, it's gone too far.
32:31Let us go.
32:32No, you're not going nowhere.
32:33Let me go.
32:34You've had enough.
32:35You're not going nowhere.
32:37Stop moving.
32:38Stop.
32:40Oh, God.
32:41Mick, Mick, Mick.
32:44What have you done?
32:45She needed to get to hospital now.
32:48This is serious, okay?
32:49You can both go down for a long time for this.
32:52Do you know about it?
32:53A lot.
32:55She got that.
32:59Why didn't you say?
33:02I said, why didn't you say?
33:04Because she knew we'd kill her.
33:06Didn't you?
33:08Uniforms cordoned off all the roads around Jones's flat.
33:11No cars or pedestrians can get in or out.
33:13The frat's on his estate and has his backhand leading up to it.
33:15So, hostiles negotiating the estate, yeah?
33:17Yeah, we're going to meet him there along with the Trojan unit.
33:23Negotiator here is trying to make contact, but they're not responding.
33:26We've got Trojan teams surrounding the house now.
33:28Okay, thank you.
33:33In position.
33:35Go.
33:36All clear. All clear.
33:38All clear.
33:44Smelly's.
34:04I'm not going to be alright.
34:06Milly.
34:07Of course you are, sweetheart.
34:08Of course you're alright. You're going to be fine, okay?
34:10Mick, she needs help.
34:12We find somewhere quiet and get rid.
34:14The two of us.
34:15Mick, please.
34:16Shut it.
34:17We can dump their bodies easy enough.
34:19This woods about five miles from here.
34:21No, we've got passports. We get out of the country.
34:23It's gone too far. No one dies.
34:26No one.
34:27We tie them, make sure they can't get away and leave them here.
34:31Please, she could bleed to death.
34:33If you don't want to find yourself on a murder charge...
34:37Okay, there's a senior van on the CCTV near Jade's house.
34:40They'll be tracking your route as we speak.
34:42Every camera in London will be programmed to find you.
34:50Go on.
34:51I know their next move, okay?
34:53You promised to get Jade the help she needs.
34:55I promise you I'll help you get away.
34:58I'm the only chance you've got.
35:00We can't trust her. She's a copper.
35:02The choice isn't going to be yours to make.
35:04Okay, she'll die and you both go down for life.
35:11Right, what do we do?
35:13I pull up at the hospital.
35:14We put Jade on the pavement and we drive away.
35:16Okay, the medics will see her. She'll be safe.
35:19Yeah, we pull up, you leg it, no deal.
35:21You've got a gun.
35:25You know what?
35:26If it looks like I'm going to do a runner, you've got nothing to lose.
35:29Shoot me.
35:33You two, hurry up!
35:36Look, I can't leave you with them.
35:38Do something, scream, run!
35:39I can't, it's too dangerous.
35:40No, be careful!
35:41Thank you.
35:43Right, we've done what you asked.
35:45Now you'd better pray you get us out of here.
35:47There's a car park on Donald Street.
35:49We need to get rid of the van.
35:54Well, it sounds like there's been one hell of a fight
35:56and obviously whoever's been injured is in danger.
35:58So we need to get to them as soon as possible.
36:00Well, as many as Jack hit, they had the blood on it.
36:02It doesn't mean that she was the one that was hurt.
36:04It could have been anyone.
36:05We need to let everyone know that the kidnappers and users are probably high.
36:09Is there any news yet from the CCTV and ANPR cameras?
36:12No, nothing yet.
36:13But the van's index and make and last known direction have been circulated.
36:16An all-ports warning has been issued.
36:18Uniform are checking out local hospitals.
36:20As soon as anything breaks, Max, you let me know.
36:22Okay, everybody on standby.
36:24The second we get any leads, we're ready to go.
36:26Mark, Jade Hopkins has just been dropped off at St Hughes
36:28with gunshot wounds to her leg.
36:29She's in surgery now.
36:30Is she going to be okay?
36:31Well, her condition's critical but not life-threatening.
36:33Any idea how she got there?
36:34Yeah, CCTV shows that she was dropped off
36:36by the white van belonging to the Jones brothers.
36:38And Millie?
36:39They've still got her.
36:41Well, I'll go and see if we can track the van's route
36:43away from the hospital by ANPR.
36:45Don't have to worry too much, Sarge.
36:47She'll be okay, you know.
36:49She's a good couple.
36:51I meant Jade.
36:54I meant Jade.
37:09Do you reckon Jade will make it?
37:11She'll be okay, yeah.
37:13Thank you for letting me go.
37:16I can't believe we're in this mess.
37:19I can't believe it.
37:21It was supposed to be a quick in and out.
37:24Keep hold of Jade two hours max
37:26and let her go when we've got the call.
37:31Here.
37:33Thank you.
37:35Cheers.
37:42My cousin's husband was in on this armed robbery.
37:45He's the manager of the store.
37:47They cleared us 70 grand.
37:49The thing was, he never got his share.
37:52How come?
37:54This bloke who carried out the robbery, Jade's brother,
37:57never paid up.
37:59My cousin was well-miffed.
38:01Thought he'd done a runner with the cash.
38:03That's where we come in.
38:05Snatch Jade, get what's owed, give her back, end of.
38:08But the police got to Jade's brother and the money first.
38:14When she came knocking at the door,
38:16I should have told her where to go.
38:18Bit late now, eh?
38:20She?
38:21They're all too new.
38:22Alarmed up to the eyeballs.
38:24Without keys, we're going nowhere.
38:26I can get you on.
38:29The ANPR camera on Doral Street
38:31ID'd the van making its way to the car park
38:33at the back of Fry House Remand Centre.
38:35Good girl, Millie.
38:36She's led them there deliberately.
38:38It's a government building.
38:39She knows it's patrolled regularly.
38:41She's waiting for them to arrive.
38:42I'll update DI Manson.
38:43Can you tell me what time the patrol is due to arrive
38:45at Fry House Remand, please?
38:47Why's it delayed?
38:49No, no, no, no.
38:50Pull them off immediately
38:51and tell them to get down to the car park on Doral Street.
38:54Now!
39:09OK, accommodate that car.
39:11How?
39:12I need my warrant card.
39:18I'm PC Brown from Sun Hill.
39:20This is urgent police business.
39:21Madam, I need your car.
39:22Can you step out of the vehicle, please?
39:24That's brilliant. Thank you.
39:37Sarge, the front office have just had a call
39:39from a woman in Doral Street car park.
39:41She said her car's just been commandeered
39:43by PC Millie Brown.
39:45All right, thank you very much indeed.
39:47Sarge! Sarge!
39:49Yeah?
39:50We're in luck.
39:51There's a mobile phone in the car.
39:52Here's the number.
39:53Fantastic.
39:54Let's get that traced pronto.
39:55Oh, and confirm with CCC that Millie's a police officer
39:57and being held hostage.
39:58Yeah, there's one more thing, Sarge.
39:59Yeah?
40:00The lady said Millie whispered something to her.
40:02She's their cousin.
40:03She's behind it.
40:05A woman?
40:06Has the none of this had anything to do with Jensen?
40:09What if it's Liv?
40:11Our clock's ticking.
40:14I clocked her reaction in hospital
40:15when we said Ronnie was in custody.
40:17It weren't right.
40:18You saw Lawrence in that interview.
40:20He ain't up to all this.
40:21So Ronnie was telling the truth.
40:22He was just trying to get the cash to pay off his debt.
40:24We nicked him before Liv and Lawrence got their share.
40:26Lawrence didn't know anything about a kidnap.
40:28It's all down to his wife.
40:29What if she's thinking of taking the money and running?
40:31Get on the radio.
40:32She still might be in the front office.
40:33Sarge.
40:34Sierra Oscar from Sierra One.
40:36Receipt from 7-5.
40:37Just looking now.
40:402-7-5 from 6-8-6.
40:42She's gone.
40:43Whiskey, tango, Romeo.
40:45OK, got it. Thanks.
40:46I spoke to Lawrence again.
40:47I think he's telling the truth.
40:48He didn't know anything about the kidnap.
40:50What about Liv?
40:51Did Lawrence give us anything to back up Max's theory?
40:53Well, Ronnie didn't show up with their share of the cash
40:55because we'd nicked him,
40:56but they thought he'd double-crossed them.
40:58Liv was furious.
40:59So she went at 11?
41:00Certainly looks like that,
41:01which means that Jensen had no direct involvement in the robbery.
41:04Ronnie planned the whole thing just to pay off his debt.
41:06This has been an amateur job from the start,
41:08which makes it all the more dangerous for Millie.
41:10OK, we need the ANPR cameras to search for a silver Range Rover.
41:13Index, Lima, November 5-7.
41:16Whiskey, tango, Romeo.
41:18I'm still waiting for the cell site analysis on the mobile phone
41:21to pinpoint its location.
41:22Got it, Mum.
41:23Heading south towards Kellett Hill.
41:25Kellett Hill?
41:27She's taken them down towards the river.
41:29Good girl, Millie.
41:30She's cutting off some of their escape routes.
41:32The Trojan units are ready to go.
41:33Let's alert all available cars.
41:39There's... There's a van following us.
41:44You grassed us up!
41:46I knew I couldn't trust you, I just... I knew it!
41:49It's an armed response vehicle, OK?
41:51If you want to walk away from this,
41:53you need to stop the car and throw the gun out the window.
41:55You're bluffing. She's bluffing.
41:57Put your foot down. Put your foot down!
42:01The armed response unit have just caught them up.
42:03Sierra One is heading towards them from Waterloo Road.
42:06Sierra One from Sierra Oscar One, Trojan 345.
42:09It's behind the suspect vehicle on 20man walk.
42:11Let them put in the hard stop.
42:16Get off the road! Get off the road!
42:19There's no one left here! Put your foot down!
42:23They've turned into Slate Road.
42:25That's a dead end. We should be able to contain them.
42:28Let's just hope they don't panic.
42:30There's no way out of this site, OK? It's over. This is it.
42:33I don't want to die. Do you hear me? I don't want to die!
42:35Stop the car.
42:37I said stop the car!
42:47Just put the gun down!
42:50Stay away from me! Shoot her!
42:59Put the gun down!
43:01Stay away from me!
43:05Just stay away! Put it down!
43:12Put the gun down!
43:14Put the gun onto the floor!
43:18It's over. It's over.
43:21It's over.
43:25Hands on your head! Move away from the weapon!
43:28Move away from the weapon!
43:31Sergeant Jones, I'm arresting you for kidnapping.
43:33You're kidnapped for possession of a firearm.
43:35If you don't have a statement, you may hold me to defence if you don't make it to a question.
43:38You're late for line in court.
43:40Millie, are you OK? It's OK.
43:42You're OK now.
43:44Thank God. Yeah.
43:47Well done, Millie, eh?
43:53Is Jade all right? Yeah, she's out of surgery.
43:55You got her there just in time.
43:58It's...
44:00It's got nothing to do with Curtis Jones and his entire shop manager's wife.
44:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know. We got your message. We're bringing you now.
44:08It's all over now. It's all over.
44:28Shh!
44:30Millie, you all right?
44:32I think so. I told Ben I'd slap your legs, but forget about that.
44:35It's good to see you.
44:39We arrived just in time to see her put her suitcase in her car boot.
44:43So you were just gonna do a bunk and let Lawrence take the rap?
44:46I might actually shock him into doing something.
44:49Like growing a spine?
44:52He can't even rob his own shop.
44:54Save it for the judge, eh? Come on.
44:58We'll see you back, Millie.
45:00You did well. Thanks.
45:02Always knew you would.
45:04Right. Yeah. Sorry.
45:06Been unfair.
45:08Yeah, you have.
45:10What you've been through today, most coppers never have to face in their entire career.
45:14And you handled it.
45:16My compliments, Sarge.
45:18If it hadn't been for you, things could have got a lot worse.
45:21Look, er...
45:23If you need to talk about it,
45:25you can finish for the day.
45:27Thanks, but, um...
45:29I just want to go home.
45:31Yeah. OK.
45:33See you tomorrow. Yeah.
45:40Next time on The Bill...
45:42I have a girl hero. It's Justin Reid.
45:44What do we want him for? Murder guff.
45:46You have to come in with me now and then I can help you, I promise.
45:49Exactly where you are! Rebecca, no!
45:51I nearly convinced him! Convinced him?
45:53You nearly convinced him! You nearly convinced him!
45:55You nearly convinced him!
46:23You nearly convinced him!
46:25You nearly convinced him!
46:27You nearly convinced him!
46:29You nearly convinced him!
