00:00The Metropolitan Police inquiry into the Portland Tower incident in which police constable Hadley Matthews and teenager Farrah Maheny lost their lives ended today.
00:10When will people stop using PC Adama's inexperience as an excuse for everything she does?
00:14Christ, you're cold.
00:15Yeah, you said that before.
00:16Nothing's changed.
00:18Operation Pursuit.
00:19The guy who put the gun in that kid's hand.
00:21She killed Oliver.
00:22We're setting up a task force to take him down. Do you want to run it?
00:25You bet I do.
00:26Why are you fixated on pursuing Shaw?
00:28Why are you fixated on defending him?
00:29I've got a job for you.
00:31I've already got a job, thanks.
00:32So what is it? Drugs? Guns? Gangs?
00:34All of the above.
00:35You know why he wants you, don't you? He wants you undercover.
00:41Can you handle that again? With Shaw, the man who's got your back?
00:43We can do what we joined up to do. Take down the bad guy.
00:46Can I ask a couple of questions?
00:48You still have an affair with Lizzie Adama?
00:50She was a mistake.
00:51Portrait said sorry. Well, go on saying sorry for as long as I need to. It is over, I promise.
00:56Yeah, it better be.
00:57Because if it isn't, I'll damage you in ways you can't even imagine.
01:00You see that?
01:04I hope it haunts you.
01:05You can be as rude about me and about my personal life as you like.
01:09But do not doubt now for one second my skill or determination to bring this fucker down.
01:14Let me give you my number. You can decide.
01:17That's really kind. Thank you.
01:19You're leaving Farlow?
01:20Yeah.
01:21Threat to life. I can't wait for the entry team. I'm going in.
01:27Doctors told my parents something.
01:32I'm pregnant.
01:57Chris, come on.
02:09He caught me!
02:15Hey! He's been stabbed!
02:18Help!
02:20What's going on?
02:23Help!
02:24Help!
02:25He's been stabbed!
02:36Sarah Collins?
02:40Yeah, 20 minutes. I'm on my way.
02:43Sorry. A stabbing. Another kid.
02:47I'll make you a cup of tea. No time.
02:49Come on.
03:05Come, bubba. Come on, come on, come on.
03:19Sarah.
03:20Hi, Elaine.
03:25You couldn't get a hint?
03:26No, none available.
03:27Any ID?
03:28No, nothing on him.
03:29No phone either.
03:33There was an off-duty paramedic.
03:36Yeah, Owen Pierce. He went to get milk.
03:39Yeah, I know.
03:40Yeah, I know.
03:41Yeah, I know.
03:42Yeah, I know.
03:43Yeah, I know.
03:44Yeah, I know.
03:45Yeah, I know.
03:46Yeah, I know.
03:47Yeah, I know.
03:48He went to get milk at Yilmaz.
03:50No, the shop CCTV isn't working.
03:54Owen heard someone calling for help. Saw two kids.
03:57Two?
03:58Yep. He did what he could. It wasn't enough.
04:01It's all yours. I'm still debriefing first on scene.
04:13Owen?
04:16I'm DI Sarah Collins.
04:18Homicide command.
04:19Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't stop the bleeding.
04:22I'm sure you did your best.
04:27There was another boy with him.
04:29Yeah, he's friendly. Stole my phone.
04:31What?
04:32He said he didn't have one, so I gave him mine to call 999.
04:35I told him what to say and then he just vanished.
04:38Why did you think he was a friend?
04:40Oh, he was, I guess.
04:41Like he was about to burst into tears.
04:48He said, please don't let me die.
04:51I told him you're going to be okay.
04:55When are you going to stop this?
04:59I will arrest whoever did this, I promise.
05:02That wasn't my question.
05:19Hey, Ash.
05:20Hey, Lizzie.
05:24Early bird catches the best desk?
05:26Well, I've only got childcare till four.
05:29That GBH you're investigating, Friday night's ball in the mall,
05:32I might run up to you in one of the little sods.
05:34Who from?
05:35One of the lids downstairs, so I don't know what it's worth.
05:38I was a lid.
05:39I was a lid.
05:40I was a lid.
05:41I was a lid.
05:42I was a lid.
05:43I was a lid.
05:44I was a lid.
05:45I was a lid.
05:46I was a lid.
05:47I was a lid downstairs, Ashu.
05:50Arif Johar.
05:55Hey.
05:56Detective Adama.
05:57Hello, stranger.
05:58You all right?
05:59Yeah.
06:00Oh, nice.
06:01I didn't know.
06:02Sergeant?
06:03It's only acting up.
06:04I've got volunteer for the safer neighbourhoods team.
06:06You, you're about Friday night?
06:08Yeah, I got your statement.
06:09Can we go through the CCTV?
06:10Yeah.
06:18Did the guy they beat up give you anything?
06:20No.
06:21Refused to talk to me.
06:23Here we go.
06:26Then it all kicks off.
06:31They broke two of his ribs.
06:32He still wouldn't talk.
06:33What about your ID?
06:34Rewind.
06:35Watch the one in the grey hoodie who starts it.
06:37One punch and he walks off.
06:38So it was like, what, some kind of gang initiation?
06:41Maybe.
06:42Our violence is right up.
06:43Looks like a turf war between the earthy bloods and the soldiers.
06:46Anyway, I checked all the other cameras and...
06:53There goes grey hoodie.
07:00As soon as I saw this, I knew.
07:02Ryan Kennedy.
07:03He's from the Deakin estate.
07:05What do you know about him?
07:06He started to show up a bit.
07:07But he's, he's not a bad kid.
07:09He put someone in hospital.
07:11He threw a punch and then walked away.
07:13Well, we'll pull Ryan in and see how tough he is in an interview.
07:17Hang on.
07:18I've not seen you in ages.
07:19How's things?
07:20How's the baby?
07:21Yeah, he's good.
07:22He's, he's walking already.
07:24Show me.
07:30Oh, he's, he's lovely.
07:34I was worried he'd have a beer.
07:37Shut up, Barry.
07:41How's, um...
07:43How's that going?
07:44Yeah, sure.
07:47He's with his family, I'm with mine.
07:53Sarah.
07:55Sarah.
07:56Got an ID on the victim off his fingerprints.
07:59Spencer Cardoso.
08:0015 years old.
08:01Prints.
08:02So he had a record.
08:03Yeah, low end.
08:04Cannabis possession.
08:05Have you got an address in the family?
08:06There is no family.
08:07Mum died seven years ago and there was never a dad.
08:10Yeah, apart from one useless sperm.
08:12Jesus, Elaine.
08:14Anyway, we've got an address and the key worker's phone number.
08:17OK, talk to them.
08:19Search Spencer's place.
08:20Social media, is anyone posting?
08:21No.
08:22We didn't have a phone, neither allegedly did the kid who made the 999 call.
08:25So it's a drug deal gone wrong?
08:27You mean people are scared and stand quiet?
08:29We knew the kid who made the call.
08:30He was probably there when Spencer was stabbed.
08:32Elaine, get hold of the recording.
08:33Lee, they've self-cited a second call from the stolen mobile.
08:37Prioritise a CCTV check in that area.
08:40I'll be at the mortuary.
08:42OK.
08:59A teenager hospitalised on Friday after a fight in a mall.
09:02Another teenager knifed to death last night.
09:04The 14th fatal stabbing this year.
09:07What is behind this rising tide of gang violence?
09:10And why are the police so helpless to stop...
09:13Angel?
09:15One of Shaquille's road men got killed last night.
09:17Spencer Cardosa.
09:19Homicide commander looking for the kid who was with him.
09:22They don't have an ID.
09:24But most certain it was his mate Ryan Kennedy.
09:27Do I give him his name?
09:29No, not Ryan.
09:30Seriously, Gavin?
09:32We're going after the King.
09:34Ryan's too close.
09:36He could jeopardise everything.
09:41DS Curran.
09:42DC Adama.
09:44Is it Ryan?
09:45Afraid so.
09:46Are you his mum?
09:47Yeah, Loretta.
09:53Are you OK to come down to the station with him?
09:56Yeah, yeah.
09:57What you're saying is done this time.
09:58What's going on?
10:01You guys not feeling well?
10:03No.
10:04I'm fine.
10:05I'm fine.
10:07I'm fine.
10:08I'm fine.
10:09You guys the feds?
10:11Ryan Kennedy, I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault at the Lonsdale Mall on the 26th of August.
10:17You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned,
10:21something which you may later rely on in court.
10:24Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
10:27I'm sorry to do this, but you're probably a bit quick on your feet.
10:30I'm not going to run away, am I?
10:31I'm not stupid.
10:32No, stupid never stopped anyone trying.
10:35What the hell are you doing with him?
10:36We're taking him in for questioning.
10:37In handcuffs? He's just a kid.
10:39Just leave it, Tia.
10:44Yeah, I won't know till I take sections, but the knife hit the femoral artery.
10:50When it's punctured, the artery retracts into the body.
10:54There's nothing a paramedic could have done to stop the bleeding.
10:58Not with a fit young man.
11:00Strong heart pumping.
11:01Sarah.
11:03Sarah.
11:04Sarah.
11:06I've got the 999 call. You need to listen.
11:17Caller, what's your emergency?
11:19She's been stabbed.
11:20What's your name?
11:21Spencer. He's been stabbed.
11:23Spencer. So they were friends.
11:25I've got that. I need to know where you are so I can send an ambulance.
11:28Gallows Street Lane. There's a shop. Yilmaz.
11:31Yilmaz. Got it. And what's your name?
11:34Just come, please. He's bleeding too much. Dad can't stop it.
11:37Alright, caller. Ambulance is on its way. Just tell me your name.
11:40Just come. Just come, please. Please.
11:50That was the last thing he said. So he must have seen who did it.
11:54We need to find him or he'll try and sort this himself when he'll have another dead kid.
11:58Let's get back to base.
11:59Not me. I've been on the go 24 hours. I'm going to pick up my kids from school.
12:03What are you saying? Get your husband...
12:04He's working. My kids are going to sit down and have dinner and tell me about their day.
12:09And I don't care if they bitch and moan about it. That's what they're doing.
12:11They are not ending up like that poor motherless child in there.
12:14That's hardly likely.
12:16Why not? They're on the same streets, the same schools as these boys.
12:19There are knives fucking everywhere. And we're not stopping them, are we?
12:23Are we?
12:34Didn't give me a thing. No comment, no comment, no comment.
12:38Another wannabe gangster. The R.D. off the CCTV won't be enough for a charge.
12:43We'll take him to the viper suite, put him on film,
12:45show it to other people at the mall, security guards, etc.
12:48You got a baby problem? I'll sort it.
12:53This kid's not a gangster, Ash.
12:56Why don't you have a word? Book him out, take him to the car.
13:00I'll talk to his mum. Bar you a few minutes alone, OK?
13:02OK. Let me have cigarettes.
13:05Clever.
13:07Thanks.
13:09Loretta.
13:14What's going on?
13:16Honestly, I don't like a kid sitting in a cell any longer than he needs to.
13:25And I can't smoke in there.
13:27And I can't smoke in there.
13:35Can I have the cuffs off, at least?
13:52I'd offer you one, but I'm not allowed.
13:57PHONE VIBRATES
14:01You got a problem?
14:03No, no, it's nothing.
14:04Don't seem like nothing.
14:06Let me have some. I won't tell anyone.
14:15Hey, miss.
14:17You should be careful next time I'm on camera.
14:23I'll just mess with you...
14:24I'll just give it back.
14:28What are you going to do, Ryan?
14:31With your life?
14:33Just fight and gangs and shit?
14:37Tell me there's more than that.
14:39Of course there is.
14:40Me and my guy Spence, we're going to be...
14:42You're going to be what?
14:44No, I know what you're doing.
14:47You're trying to get me to spill info, acting all nice.
14:51But you're still a fed, so no comment.
14:57Only image of 999 boy we have so far, taken from a camera here.
15:02Why do we know it's our guy?
15:04The paramedics said he was wearing an orange anorak, not a pale hoodie.
15:08Because the next call after the 999 call was made from under this bridge,
15:11which is where the signal disappeared.
15:13Probably because he chugged the phone in the canal.
15:16So he called his handler, was told to dump his top on his phone.
15:21What do we know about the number he called?
15:24Only been active a month.
15:25And everything about it says trap line.
15:27No texts, no internet, just calls.
15:30Usually short.
15:32Mostly moving round.
15:33From the distances travelled, probably in a car.
15:36Definitely a drug dealer.
15:37Lee's right.
15:39Spence and his mates went to Gallows Tree Lane to do a drug deal.
15:42The deal went bad.
15:43Spence's friend ran.
15:45He only makes one call after the 999, which is to his boss.
15:49So who is his boss?
15:51And which gang is it?
15:52Soldiers, Bloods, the squad?
15:55Still nothing on social media.
15:57No gangs claimed it.
15:58Nothing.
15:59In fact, nothing on any media.
16:01Usually there'd be a song on fucking TikTok.
16:04I'm on my way out now.
16:05I've got to stop off at the lab first.
16:07I'll be right back.
16:12Excuse me, Jim.
16:13Can I have a word?
16:16Sarah.
16:17Sir.
16:19It's about last night's stabbing.
16:20It's about Ciccardo, sir.
16:22Gallows Tree Lane.
16:23You're the SIO.
16:24Yes.
16:26I've got a dead kid and a missing witness.
16:28Also a kid who may well be at risk and not a peep out of anyone.
16:33I want to set up a press conference.
16:35Are you exhausted? CCTV, ANPR, door-to-door?
16:38Not exhausted, no.
16:39But this is my fourth stabbing in two years
16:41and I cracked the others because people were talking about them,
16:44posting about them, but this time nothing, just a wall of silence
16:47and I don't know if that's a drugs thing or a gangs thing or both,
16:50but we are nowhere.
16:51Well, you know, if you do involve the media,
16:53you'll be putting the Met on offer.
16:54Maybe we should put the Met on offer.
16:57Have the conference in the community, invite the community,
16:59say we want to solve this crime but we can only do it with your help.
17:03And then you run the risk of people using the opportunity to attack us.
17:06Grandstand for the cameras.
17:07Yes, but we could also find that vital piece of intel
17:09that helps us arrest a murderer.
17:15You both know if this was a white girl, you wouldn't be hesitating.
17:19Yeah, same old Sarah, playing the race card.
17:25But you're right. I'll tell the press office to set it up.
17:28I'll be there.
17:29Find out who the safer neighbourhood officer is for that area.
17:32Have them there too.
17:35Let's hope it doesn't blow up in our faces.
17:38Gin.
17:44Hi.
17:45Yes, Lizzie.
17:46I'm off now.
17:48Um, 10.20.
17:49Yeah, really great. Bye.
18:19What'd they nick you for?
18:22That guy that I punched at the wall.
18:24Did you snitch?
18:25No.
18:27I went no comment.
18:33Did they ask you about that other thing?
18:35You mean Spence?
18:40No.
18:41You caught Shaquille off a phone you stole from a fucking ambulance driver.
18:44The feds will have traced the call.
18:46You put him in it.
18:47I'm sorry, I panicked.
18:50You know so much about me, Ryan.
18:53I hope I can trust you.
18:56We've got to get him back, Shaqs.
18:59For Spence.
19:03One step at a time.
19:12Josh.
19:13Josh.
19:14Mummy's not paying you enough attention, is she?
19:17Mum.
19:18Come on, let's go take a bath.
19:22Mum will be right back, OK?
19:26Hey.
19:27Sorry I couldn't help out this afternoon.
19:29I didn't get your message.
19:30No, it's fine, I've sorted it.
19:32I got Sandy to take him.
19:33My neighbour.
19:34I told you about her.
19:35Right.
19:36I got a little something for Josh.
19:39Ooh, yeah.
19:40Let's get you cleaned up a little, shall we?
19:44Heh.
19:47Hey, you working?
19:49Yeah.
19:50You know you shouldn't be doing that off-duty, yeah?
19:52I want to clear my caseload, which is hard with only six hours of childcare.
19:55And especially if, like, today I get stuck with a prisoner.
19:58So, please, just, you know, don't.
20:01Look, listen, I get it, OK?
20:02You care about your job, I get it.
20:04But this isn't good for you and it's obviously not good for Joshua.
20:06I'll decide what's good for me and my son.
20:09Hey, did you know that Sandy has a criminal caution?
20:13Possession of Class B with intent to supply.
20:15You ran her through the PNC?
20:17You know that's against the law.
20:19You left our kid with a drug dealer.
20:21That caution was ten years old when she was 19.
20:24So, please, just fuck off.
20:26Ooh.
20:27Don't let me say a bad word.
20:29Yes.
20:30Kieran.
20:31Yes, you done?
20:32Please...
20:34go.
20:39Yeah, no, yeah.
20:42I'm sorry.
20:45Hey.
21:08Hey.
21:32Hey!
21:33Little shit!
21:38Hey.
22:05Oh, Steve.
22:08I've got something for you.
22:15I made some Brown Street chicken. You want some?
22:17No, it's yours.
22:18I've got plenty.
22:22Shouldn't be eating this late anyway.
22:24Heartburn, you know?
22:31You OK, right?
22:32You heard about that thing?
22:34What thing?
22:35The boy that was shanked.
22:37I knew him.
22:40Me and him ran.
22:42Yeah.
22:44I'm sorry.
22:46It was that bitch, Lexi.
22:49Set us up, man.
22:53Me and Spencey went down there...
22:55to meet her.
23:08Hey.
23:11It's OK, man.
23:21You, uh...
23:23said you had something for me.
23:34Wrapped it off this poor sneak.
23:36Nice.
23:38My guy.
23:40For that, you get three Adams.
23:42What?
23:45Of course, you're too young to know about these things.
23:49And Senna Tenner.
23:53Thanks.
23:57Thanks for the stew.
23:59It was nice.
24:00No problem.
24:07Hey.
24:09You ever want to talk about that thing?
24:13Your boy.
24:15Spence.
24:17I'm here.
24:18Any time.
24:29Hiya.
24:30Morning.
24:31Ash, if the Marlboroughs are getting things, then...
24:34Hold your horses, this just came from upstairs.
24:37You are officially temporarily transferred.
24:41What?
24:42What about Ryan Kennedy, the GBH?
24:45I'll take it.
24:46Address is on the email.
24:48Lizzie, I don't know how or why, but this is a break for you.
24:51Come on.
24:52We'll still be here when you get back.
24:55Go.
24:57Bye, sweetheart.
25:00Bye, other sweetheart.
25:03Barely.
25:05I'll see you tonight?
25:06Yeah, bye.
25:07Bye, Daddy.
25:10Sir?
25:11A murder two nights ago in Percy's operational area.
25:14You know about it?
25:15Spencer Cardoso, 15 years of age.
25:17What's the word on the street?
25:21I don't know.
25:2215 years of age.
25:23What's the word on the street?
25:27Nothing that I've heard of.
25:28I'm about to go into a community meeting to ask them about the boy who was with Spencer.
25:32He might be key.
25:33Who's the SIO?
25:34Sarah Collins.
25:36The DAC feels that with Perseus in place,
25:38we should have more information about what's happening on the ground, not less.
25:41So do you know anything about the murder?
25:44That's a direct question and I am noting your answer.
25:46No, I don't know anything specific.
25:48Listen, sir, Perseus is on his last lap.
25:51Arrests are imminent, including Shaquille.
25:53If I start tasking our undercover officers,
25:55start gathering intelligence about specific crimes,
25:58the targets are going to start asking where that information is coming from.
26:01You know the stakes.
26:03If we don't stop Shaquille,
26:04these kids won't be killing each other with knives,
26:06they'll be using machine guns.
26:08Because that is Shaquille's plan and you know it, sir.
26:11You hear anything, tell me.
26:12Yes, sir.
26:22In.
26:23Just through there on the right.
26:36I need you to sign this.
26:37Official Secrets Act.
26:39I've already signed it.
26:40This is specific to Operation Perseus.
26:43Don't talk about Perseus to anyone,
26:45not even your mates back at Farlow.
26:47We need transcriptions and we're behind.
26:52Now, watch.
26:54Type up all that's happening and everything that's said.
26:57Copy the format in these,
26:58and if you don't know who's who,
27:01they're probably over there on the board.
27:05Okay.
27:07Are you the boss?
27:08No, he's not here.
27:09I'm DS Mark Angel.
27:10Like I said, we are behind.
27:19Thank you all for being here.
27:20The reason we're here,
27:21officers from Homicide Command and the Safer Neighbourhood Team,
27:26is this young man.
27:29This boy, I should say.
27:31Spencer Cardoso.
27:33Detective Inspector Sarah Collins is leading the case
27:35and she's looking for information
27:36about someone who we believe was with Spencer when he was killed.
27:39He's not a suspect.
27:40He's a witness.
27:42And we're concerned about his safety.
27:44So I'll hand you over to Sarah
27:45and she can tell you where her investigation is
27:47and what she and her team are doing to solve the case.
27:49Sarah.
27:51Happy birthday to you.
27:55Happy birthday to you.
27:58Happy birthday to you.
28:01Is it?
28:02Brand new.
28:04Don't forget to make a wish.
28:12Thanks.
28:14I appreciate that.
28:15I appreciate that.
28:16Going to see my boys means a lot.
28:19Smart kids.
28:21Speaking of kids,
28:23how's yours?
28:25The one by the woman you're not married to.
28:28It's beautiful.
28:31Just started walking.
28:33This is a great mum and
28:36she lets me see him every two weeks.
28:38And your wife still lets you sleep at home.
28:40You don't know how lucky you are.
28:43Can we get some fresh air?
28:45We clear to come out?
28:47All clear.
28:54Had a visit from Ryan Kennedy last night.
28:56Say anything about Shaquille?
28:59He was more upset about his mate Spencer.
29:01Shaquille's losing his road, man.
29:02No wonder he wants guns.
29:04You got any news on those?
29:05Shipment has either arrived in Rotterdam
29:07or it is already here.
29:09You mean we don't know?
29:10We don't know.
29:11I mean, we don't want to risk the Bulgarians
29:12wanting off Shaquille.
29:14We got to rely on this end,
29:15which we can't control.
29:17We do not control Shaquille.
29:20He's about to go to war
29:21and if he wins his goodbye South London,
29:23hello big house in the country.
29:25And if he loses,
29:26he goes to jail for a very long time
29:27so he's jumpy as hell.
29:29Paranoid.
29:30Is he looking at you?
29:34His guy, Gerald, keeps sniffing.
29:36Where you from, bro?
29:37Why have I never seen you before?
29:38Shit like that.
29:41My cover better hold.
29:43It'll hold.
29:45Hey, it'll hold.
29:48But if you don't feel safe,
29:49I'll pull you out now.
29:50I'll drive you back to your boys.
29:51I mean it, Steve.
29:53Right now.
29:59No.
30:01It's taken me two years to get this close.
30:05I'm not wasting it.
30:07Someone
30:08must have seen this boy come home that night.
30:12He'd just seen a friend killed.
30:14He'd have been upset.
30:16So if you saw anything
30:17or think you saw anything,
30:20then either tell us or call us.
30:22But we need your help.
30:23Without it, we cannot solve this crime.
30:25We don't solve any crimes
30:27because you're never here.
30:28I'm often here.
30:30My team is here.
30:31I've never seen you.
30:33I see dealers doing deals
30:35and ten-year-olds selling drugs.
30:38But do I see you?
30:39The Safer Neighbourhoods Initiative.
30:40Safer Neighbourhoods.
30:42All that means is cops harassing more black boys.
30:45Our number one priority
30:47is to stop knife crime,
30:48which is mostly black kids
30:50killing other black kids.
30:51So you're saying
30:52whoever killed Spencer
30:54must be black?
30:55No, we're not saying that.
30:56We don't know.
30:57That's why we need your help.
30:58Let's be honest.
30:59This is just window dressing.
31:00You invite the cameras.
31:02You wheel him out.
31:03The token Asian.
31:04Why?
31:05Couldn't you find any black officers?
31:06Fact is,
31:07when a black boy gets stabbed,
31:09you don't give it the manpower
31:10or the resources
31:12because you don't care.
31:14What did you say to your guy?
31:16I told him everything you told me.
31:19So where is he?
31:20He's busy.
31:22Is he fucking with me?
31:24No, but he's fucking with you, Shaquille.
31:30With you, Shaquille.
31:36Leave it.
31:37You don't have clearance.
32:07All right.
32:08Put that on hold.
32:10This is priority.
32:12We've got an undercover officer on it.
32:14Just enter him as UC1.
32:15Okay.
32:22I made some brassy chicken.
32:23You want some?
32:24No.
32:25It's yours.
32:33Shouldn't be eating this late anyway.
32:34Heartburn, you know?
32:37Ah.
32:40You okay, Ryan?
32:49Angel.
32:50Got a sec.
32:51Okay.
33:05Did you hear about that thing?
33:07What thing?
33:08That boy that got shanked.
33:11I knew him.
33:14Me and him, Ryan.
33:16It was that bitch, Lexi.
33:19I saw it, man.
33:21Leah Spence.
33:23I had to go and meet her.
33:28Well, we know what the story's going to be.
33:29The black community doesn't trust the Met.
33:30The Met is institutionally racist.
33:33I told you this might blow up in our faces, and it has.
33:36A major embarrassment.
33:37And for what?
33:38Well, so we shouldn't investigate murders in case we get embarrassed.
33:41I don't care.
33:42I care about getting information.
33:44But you didn't get information, did you?
33:45You got nothing.
33:46Nothing.
33:47Excuse me, Sarah.
33:49That was Loretta Kennedy.
33:51She knew Spencer well because her son was best mates with him.
33:53She says he came home very late two nights ago, and he's been behaving oddly ever since.
33:56What's his name?
33:57Ryan Kennedy.
33:58If you want to know more about him, you should talk to Lizzie Adama.
34:00She arrested him for GBH yesterday.
34:02Come in.
34:08You arranged this?
34:09Yes.
34:10You didn't think about asking me first?
34:12You would have said no.
34:13But I would have had a choice.
34:14But you made the right choice.
34:16Lizzie, stop.
34:18I'm sorry.
34:21But this is the job I told you about, remember?
34:24The op I left Farlow for.
34:26I said I was going to bring you on as soon as I could, and I did.
34:29You'll get to work the hours that suit you, that suit Joshua.
34:32Plus, you're at the sharp end of a two-year operation.
34:34If you don't want it, you can go back to Farlow.
34:36I just thought that...
34:37That you knew what was best for me.
34:39No.
34:40I just...
34:44I just thought it would be good to work with you again.
34:52One of the drives I was asked to transcribe, Steve Bradshaw's on it.
34:56Well, most of what we got and how close we are to a result is because of Steve.
35:00But how? How did he do it?
35:02Well, he revived an old undercover legend he had from Manchester during an op seven years ago.
35:07It was never blown.
35:08He even served six months in strange ways to preserve it.
35:12He's the best.
35:13And that's the type of people you'd be working with.
35:16The best.
35:18The best.
35:21I need to be bringing down a really bad guy.
35:23Shaquille Oliver.
35:24Yeah.
35:26Another thing.
35:28I know the kid Steve's with, Ryan Kennedy.
35:30Ryan mentioned stabbing someone called Spencer.
35:33He said it was a set-up. He blamed someone called Alexi.
35:36Okay, listen...
35:37And Sarah Collins has been ringing me.
35:39She's SIO on the Spencer case, and that was her third call.
35:42Have you talked to her?
35:43No, but she's left messages saying that she wants to talk about Ryan.
35:46Lizzie, you can't talk about anything that you heard or learned here.
35:50One slip and that is two years' work right down the drain.
35:53Worse than that, lives. Well, Steve's life will be at risk.
35:58Yeah.
36:00Wait.
36:05Let me tell you about Ryan.
36:08The childminder clocks off at five.
36:10I've got to go.
36:12Will you be here in the morning?
36:16Yeah.
36:44It's Lexi.
36:46It's Lexi.
36:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
36:55Easy, man. I'm only messing.
36:58What do you want, Gerald?
37:00Shaquille wants to talk.
37:02I don't know what about, but he wants to talk.
37:06Car's this way.
37:09Ready?
37:11I need to hit first.
37:13You've got to pay it back.
37:14Duh.
37:20Just picked up your girl.
37:22Okay. Good job.
37:30Steve.
37:31Shaquille.
37:33That thing's on. What we said.
37:36So go do it.
37:44Okay.
38:00Gerald doesn't like you.
38:05The reason Gerald doesn't like you is
38:08one minute you didn't exist.
38:10The next minute, here you are in my office drinking my beer.
38:15What do you think about that?
38:17Not much.
38:19Are you stoned?
38:20No, man.
38:22But I'd like to be.
38:24What else you got in that desk?
38:30What's up, man?
38:33You don't look happy.
38:34No, I'm not happy.
38:37All this shit going on.
38:40Soldiers making moves on my turf.
38:42Just killed one of my guys.
38:45But you know what really bugs me?
38:47Where are the police?
38:50It's like they just gave up.
38:53I said,
38:54you can have South London.
38:57We don't give a fuck.
38:59Fire out between you.
39:02Or.
39:03Or.
39:04Or.
39:05Or.
39:08They got a thing going on themselves.
39:11What sort of thing?
39:14Cops love operations.
39:18They give us stupid names.
39:21They gather intelligence.
39:26And they send in snitches.
39:32And they wait.
39:33And wait.
39:38Easy, man.
39:40I got a dodgy heart, you know.
39:43Look,
39:44Shaquille.
39:46If you're worried,
39:47maybe you just back off a bit.
39:49Back off.
39:51I don't think they have these hands.
39:53No.
40:03Now's when we hit them back even harder.
40:06I don't back off.
40:08I go forward.
40:11The thing is, Steve.
40:15Do you want to come with?
40:23You want to step up?
40:31I'm sorry to stop by like this.
40:32I know you're off duty, but.
40:34I did call.
40:36Yeah, it was a bad day.
40:38Can I come in?
40:50It's about Ryan Kennedy, obviously.
40:53I hear you arrested him for assault.
40:56Yeah, but we couldn't make it stick.
40:59Did you search his place?
41:01Yes.
41:02Did you find an orange anorak?
41:03No. Why?
41:04It's what he was wearing when Spencer was killed.
41:07What about phones?
41:09No, we didn't find any.
41:11You nicked him the day after his best friend was stabbed to death.
41:13Did you notice anything about him?
41:15His mood, for example?
41:16Up and down.
41:19Making jokes and then...
41:22Kind of sad.
41:24But he was in a police station, so.
41:28That's all you've got?
41:30Yes.
41:32I'm investigating a murder.
41:34A dead 15-year-old.
41:37Child.
41:39And no one's giving me a thing.
41:42Including you.
41:53You should be sleeping, brother, while you're awake.
41:56You're not tired.
41:58We found it. You should be sleeping, sweetie.
42:01Oh, what a beautiful boy.
42:04This is Joshua.
42:06He should be sleeping.
42:11I'll go.
42:13What about Ryan, if you think of anything?
42:16No.
42:18I'll go.
42:19I'll go.
42:21What about Ryan, if you think of anything at all, please call.
42:25I'm desperate.
42:34And, Sarah...
42:37There is one thing.
42:40When Ryan and his mum left the nick,
42:43his mum went to the bus stop,
42:44but there was a car waiting for Ryan, an SUV, high-end.
42:47Did you get the registration number?
42:49It's probably nothing.
42:52I doubt that very much.
43:17Free hands.
43:37How do you get ringers when you've got money?
43:40How do you get ringers when you've got money?
44:11Yeah?
44:12Hi, it's Lizzie Adama.
44:14Is Kieran there?
44:16He's in the shower.
44:18OK. Can you tell him I called, please?
44:21Is something up with the baby?
44:23No, no, no. Just something at work. I can talk to him tomorrow. Bye.
44:33Someone call?
44:36Yeah, Lizzie Adama.
44:37Yeah, Lizzie Adama.
44:41No, not about the baby.
44:44Something at work.
44:50So, she's working with you, then?
44:52It's temporary.
44:54Percy's isn't nearly done. We just...
44:57needed extra bodies.
44:59And she was the only detective the Met had available?
45:01No.
45:02But she's having issues with her job and looking after the baby.
45:04And Percy, she gets to choose her hours. That's all.
45:10You know, part of the agreement we made by which you were still living in this house,
45:14by which I swallowed my humiliation that my husband was having a child with another woman,
45:18was that you didn't work with her again.
45:20I said it was temporary.
45:24You've been amazing, Criminal Kieran.
45:27You tell lies as easily as you breathe.
45:30Mary.
45:31I warned you. I was very clear.
45:32What do you mean?
45:33We're done.
45:35You can go to the flat. I'll tell Anya something came up at work.
45:38Which is, of course, true.
45:59I should have waited.
46:00I should have waited.
46:02I should have called. Sorry.
46:04I'm afraid I'm just here to shower and change. I have to go back.
46:07Well, at least eat something first.
46:09I will.
46:10Tell me about your day.
46:13Oh. Well, I had a meeting at school.
46:16Getting ready for the return of the monsters.
46:19I bet the monsters love you.
46:21Doubt that.
46:22They do.
46:24Because they know you care about them and you're good at what you do and...
46:28You're an inspiration to them.
46:32Oh, sweetie.
46:34Why are you getting upset?
46:36I don't know. Maybe it's the kids I'm dealing with.
46:38They're school kids, too, but they're so lost.
46:42Oh, no.
46:46In London, this year alone,
46:48at a community meeting in South London,
46:50members of the public accused the police of being indifferent to the violence
46:54taking so many young lives.
46:56One resident told our reporter,
46:58which of our kids is going to be next?
47:24Oh, my God.
