D.I. Ray

[Metal door clicks open] [Steps climb stairs] [Gun cocks] -Armed police!

Armed police!

-I'm a police officer.

I'm unarmed.

My name is Detective Inspector Rachita Ray.

I have ID.

May I show it to you?

-[Screaming] Show me your hands!

-I'm a police officer.

Keep your hands where we can see them!

Stand down!

Stand down!

She's with us.

Check the rest of the building.

What the hell were you thinking, coming in here without backup?

I thought I heard signs of distress.

[Radio chatter] [Zip unfastens] Single gunshot.

Close range.

If this is our man Rav, he's gonna be covered.

I think we should avoid contamination and get forensics here.

I need your-- I need your radio.

This is DI Ray with DI Holden and SOC at the location.

We have one IC1 male, deceased.

The victim is known to us.

David Chapman.

There's no sign of the target Ravinder Mochani.

I need uniforms, helicopters, and every camera you've got.

Notify all units that Ravinder Mochani is now the prime suspect in the murder of David Chapman and should be considered armed and dangerous.

[Siren wails] [Indistinct conversation] [Conversation continues] [Vomits] -[Footsteps] -[Siren wails] [Dog barking] [Siren continues] [Panting] Shoddy application, or superhuman strength?

Perhaps a bit of both.

Or maybe Rav saw an opportunity and took it.

He wouldn't have left that behind willingly.

Great.

So, not only is Rav armed, he can't hear anything, he's nervous, scared, trigger-happy.

It's an added complication.

I gave your clothes to forensics, ma'am.

Er, uniform's just dropped off some fresh ones.

Thanks.

[Clive sighs] The fallout from this could be epic.

I think we can definitely assume we won't be the only ones looking for Rav Mochani tonight.

[Theme music playing] So, Frank Chapman was shot in his home and then again outside the hospital.

Now, David Chapman has been shot in an abandoned gym where he was holding Rav Mochani.

There was no sign of a weapon at the crime scene, so, assuming Rav took it with him, he's either gonna toss it, or he plans on using it again.

Whose gun is it then?

Kwesi: We all know there were two kidnappers.

Maybe Rav managed to grab their firearm.

These days, there's only a few quid between loyalty and betrayal.

Who's to say one of them wasn't turned by the Mochanis?

Maybe we should bring both families in.

-Question them more thoroughly?

-No.

I've had enough of their "no comments" and "I don't knows."

The Chapmans and the Mochanis are being tailed.

DI Holden has eyes on all of them, so, let's see, if anyone makes a move.

Maybe we'll get lucky with the lab.

Where does she fit in to all of this?

Clive: Still think it's trafficking, ma'am.

Those pictures on Rav's laptop, it's like he had a shopping list.

But Rav didn't bring any of the other children into the country.

And the Indian authorities confirmed that, so, why just Sajna?

Maybe she is Rav's.

Rachita, there's something you'll wanna see.

We've been rolling facial rec' on all the cameras around the crime scene.

Rachita: It's Rav.

Patrick: Yeah.

I must have missed him by minutes.

Is that the gun?

...

There's something else, from another camera close to the crime scene.

An IC1 male running from the direction of the abandoned gym.

-Could be one of the kidnappers.

-That was my guess.

Nothing from facial rec' though.

But we'll keep searching all the cameras.

Well, thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Let me know if anything else comes up.

Course.

Now go home.

Get some rest.

[Knock on door] [Door opening] Work's eased off then?

Nope.

[Sighs] I'd better not.

Driving.

Yeah, well, not till the morning.

I just thought, um, maybe we could... ...talk a bit.

Why?

Because last time we didn't, really.

And you're complaining...?

No.

[Laughs] No, I mean, it was, it was... great, obviously.

But it might be nice to get to know you a bit as well.

You know Kerry warned me off you.

What did she say?

She said you were casual in your attitude towards women.

Are you serious?

Kerry said that?

I mean, the thing is... casual is all I really want.

You know, she's no angel herself.

[Door opens and closes] [Indistinct chatter] The plates on the second kidnap van were false, just like on the first one.

We lifted a few prints, but, again, nothing to match them to.

We have nothing from the phone we found on Dave Chapman, either, but we do know that Rav Mochani's was switched off at the time of Frank Chapman's murder.

Last ping it recorded was after he left the restaurant Kish.

Doesn't mean he went to the hospital to shoot Frank.

It doesn't prove he went to Dawn's, either.

That flat seems to attract a lot of activity.

Yeah, I know.

I'm gonna talk to DI Holden.

We need to keep watching that place.

Just cause Dawn's not there doesn't mean there's not others.

One more thing.

The old gym where Rav was held, it was called Jake's.

Rang a bell.

That's great work, Liam.

Thank you.

Kwesi: Detective Inspector Ray.

DI Holden has requested you in the Control Room.

We may have a sighting of Rav Mochani.

A passenger has possibly identified Rav Mochani waiting for the 242 bus.

Cameras picked this up 6 minutes ago.

Armed response are on their way.

It's him.

Suspect sighted at given coordinates.

Repeat, suspect sighted.

Delta Golf Seven, your location, please?

ETA to target, 30 seconds.

Suspect presumed to be on board, over.

He's gotta be on there.

Come on.

Interception imminent.

Rachita: Where are they?

-Armed police!

-Armed police!

-Armed police!

-Armed police!

[Officers shouting] He's gotta be on there.

[Officers shouting] Sit down!

Sit down!

Sit down!

Where is he?

I don't see him.

Have we lost him?

Delta Golf Seven, do you have an update?

Show your hands!

Is he on the bus or not?

-All clear up top!

-All clear.

All clear.

...!

Where the hell did he go?

You had a whole team.

How could you lose him?

Cameras might pick him up again.

He must have slipped out before we got there.

[Sighs] Rachita: Ma'am?

You wanted to see me?

I'll try not to keep you too long, Ray.

I know today will be especially busy.

Is this about me entering the gym-- No, it isn't.

Maybe you'd like to take a seat.

[Clears throat] The Governor at HMP Marchbank has been on to us.

Reckons one of his inmates has crucial information on the Frank Chapman murder.

But how do we know this inmate's legit?

This particular one is known to us, and he says he will speak only to you.

Why me?

[Sighs] It's Martin.

It's a tricky one, interviewing your ex-fianc.

I get it.

I'm not comfortable with it any more than you are.

We tried to dissuade him, to convince him to speak to somebody else, but he was adamant that you'd want to hear this.

How do you even know he has anything?

He's a corrupt officer who's harvested many criminal relationships over the years.

But Professional Standards would've been all over that.

Yeah, but the investigations are still ongoing.

You don't have to do it, Ray.

I wanna stress that your welfare is the priority here.

And if you did decide to talk to him, then there would be a full risk assessment.

Another officer would attend with you and there'd be mandatory after-care.

But there's no pressure, Ray.

Whatever decision you make, we...

I will support it.

You have my word.

When do you need to know by?

The sooner the better, to be honest.

[Clears throat] Apparently, Rav Mochani's name has been leaked as prime suspect, and it's got out that he was recently paroled early from prison.

Megan's family have made a complaint.

They are convinced that if he'd served his full term, then he'd still be inside, and their daughter would still be alive.

They want answers, understandably.

Of course.

And so, if Martin does have intel that could help, then it may even prevent further casualties.

Well, maybe I can reach out to the girl again.

Sajna.

I know she's mixed up in this somehow.

-She could be the key.

-Yeah, but what if she isn't?

Mochani's early parole is being viewed as a "woke" policy.

And things are escalating out there.

Beardsmore's been forced to hold a press conference.

I'll let you know.

Thank you, Rachita.

I do appreciate it.

[Door opens] What were you trying to prove... going there alone?

You stupid... stupid bastard.

[Engine running] I didn't see what happened, I swear.

It was after you left.

Don't look at him.

Look at me.

Sorry.

Sorry.

So, it... it was after Stevo left.

The boss said he wanted to talk to Mochani alone.

How'd Mochani get free?

... would I know?

You didn't tell me he was the Hulk.

Degsy: He never gave a straight answer to anything the boss was asking him, even right before he... before everything happened.

Thought you said you didn't see anything.

I didn't.

But I heard them talking.

About what?

Only thing Mochani wanted to talk about was that it wasn't him who shot the old man.

I mean Mr. Chapman.

Mochani would say that, though, wouldn't he?

He said it a lot, though.

"It weren't me."

"It weren't me."

And then the boss said something really weird to him.

He said to Mochani, "I know you didn't do it."

Turn it off.

Turn it off!

Turn it off!

No, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait.

Leave it on.

It's not mine.

Well, not all of it.

..., man.

I need to see you when you speak, OK?

I've lost this.

[Gasps] I'm just glad you're alive, man.

You cannot tell anyone I'm here, Shiv, and I mean it.

I won't tell anyone you're here.

Bro, you can trust me.

Beardsmore: Anyone sighting Mr. Mochani, or who knows his whereabouts, should contact the incident room immediately on the number behind me.

Under no circumstances should he be approached.

As already mentioned, Mr. Mochani has impaired hearing, which could make attempting to interact with him problematic.

Woman: Jeanette Smith, "Birmingham Gazette."

Do you think Rav Mochani killed Megan Parks and Frank Chapman?

This is a live case, so, I shall defer to the Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Ray.

First of all, no one is saying that Mr. Mochani murdered anyone.

Everyone has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, including him.

But what I would say is that he is a person of interest in the death of David Chapman and would urge him to either contact me or one of my team.

Man: Have your woke police policies caused the death of 3 innocent people, Detective Inspector?

Can we please stick to the subject of the briefing?

Woman: Why did David Chapman not have police protection after the murder of his father?

I have nothing further to add.

Sorry.

Woman: Is there a connection between the Mochani-Chapman feud and the increase in race-related violence erupting in the city in the past few days?

Man: Was Megan Parks caught in the crossfire of a gangland turf war?

We're exploring all angles, but suffice to say Megan Parks was a wholly innocent victim and we remain committed to finding her killer or killers.

Man: You ask people to stay vigilant, but vigilance doesn't stop bullets.

So, is it safe for any of us to go out while this man remains at large?

Man 2: There could have been another Megan Parks.

Man 1: What if it's a kid next time?

Kerry: As DI Ray has already emphasised, she and her team are utilising every resource at their disposal, and Mr. Mochani's apprehension is now their top priority.

Whatever can be done is being done, I assure you.

[Journalists chatter] Kerry: You still here?

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

I'll go see Martin.

[Sighs] [Cell door shuts] [Gate locks] Clive: You sure you're OK?

Rachita: You think, I'm making a mistake.

Clive: Doesn't matter what I think.

It's not me he put through all that ... Henderson's right.

You don't have to do this.

You don't owe him anything.

I'm not doing it for him.

Didn't think you'd come.

No chaperones.

We're a team.

Martin: I talk to you and you alone.

That's the deal.

Clive, do you mind?

You're supposed to be accompanied.

It's OK, really.

How are you, Rach?

Let's not ... about.

It's good to see you.

I only wanted to see you.

Is that 'cause it still makes you feel like you're in control of something?

No.

It's the only way I could think of to make sure you got this information.

So, tell me.

They're still rolling you out at diversity drives and photoshoots, I see.

"Detective Inspector Rachita Ray.

We're safe in her hands."

Press seem convinced it's gonna kick off out there.

You sure you can handle the pressure?

Solving this case would be a right feather in your cap, wouldn't it?

Chance to prove you can do more than "culturally specific homicides."

[Sniffs] What do you know about Frank Chapman?

[Scoffs] I've got a name for you.

Been hearing it a lot in here.

Especially since Frank got done.

Rav Mochani is innocent.

You need to be looking at Lou Kirkby.

Go on.

Kirkby was one of the original Chapman outfit back in the eighties.

Him and Frank were tighter than brothers, apparently, which is strange 'cause Frank never mentioned him once.

You knew Frank Chapman?

I'm surprised, you're surprised.

You just said -"were tighter than brothers".

-Yeah.

They had a big falling out 15-odd years ago, right before Kirkby started his stretch.

What was the fallout?

Money, a woman, job gone wrong.

No one really knows, and Lou's not telling.

But it went nuclear and he's been stewing on it ever since.

Where are you getting this from?

Kirkby was in here before I got transferred.

Right cock of the block, apparently.

So, you're giving me second-hand intel with no source to verify.

Doesn't change the facts, does it?

Kirkby had a score to settle, and a month after he gets out, Chapman's dead.

Why are you telling me this?

Is it not enough that you're bent?

And now you're a grass.

Must be something in it for you.

Something big.

Yeah, there is.

I was hoping to put things right between us.

You want a reduced sentence.

You know you won't survive in here.

Do you know how hard I tried... to break through that shell of yours?

I did everything I could to try to kindle even a spark of emotion, [Scoffs] a flicker of some genuine affection.

Something.

Anything.

You know, I even asked your mother once, "How do I reach her?"

She didn't even know.

But it never stopped me trying.

You know, I put your ring in the glove compartment in the morning before I went into work.

I was embarrassed.

I spent years telling people that marriage wasn't for me and then I got engaged to the first man that asked me.

But actually, it wasn't being engaged that embarrassed me.

It was being engaged to you.

They don't know, do they, them upstairs, that you were ... your subordinate?

I bet that would dull the shine on your halo if they ever found out.

Do your new friends know that you're selling intel for a reduced sentence?

I'll be sure to tell Lou that you gave me his name.

Clive: I know what I said, but things have changed.

All right?

People are asking questions.

I don't know how much longer I can do this.

Woman: What did you expect?

You made your bed.

Lie in it.

Rachita: Clive?

Is everything OK?

I should be asking you that, shouldn't I?

How did it go?

Come on, let's shift it.

[Sighs] No, no, no.

They're not after you.

It's them plastic pigs, innit?

Community policing.

[Exhales] I told you not to let me fall asleep, but-- Looked like you needed it.

[Sniffs] [Sighs] I have a job for you.

I'm leaving the country.

You need to get a bag for me.

We're good.

We're good.

You know what you're doing?

I know what I'm doing.

It's blazed on my brain.

Rav: OK. [Car drives away] According to Martin Hunter, Lou Kirkby hated Frank Chapman with a passion, so, either Martin's wrong or Rav's innocent and we have another suspect.

Kwesi: This lead came from DCI Hunter, ma'am?

Yeah, he claimed he had intel and I had a duty to follow up, and I went with Clive to Marchbank this morning.

Rachita: It's fine.

I'm fine.

Do you think he was telling the truth?

I think there's a first time for everything, ma'am.

Rav might be innocent.

Have we got lists of Kirkby's pre-cons?

Charlene: Yes, ma'am, I have it here.

It's mostly low-level, from when he was in his twenties.

Burglaries, thefts, that kind of thing, and lots of it, but he's only been to jail twice.

Stolen goods in '93, then GBH in '07.

Liam: He got 20 years for that.

Served 15, 10 of them at Marchbank, paroled on a good behaviour bond.

A month ago?

Yes, ma'am.

Where's Kirkby been since?

Kwesi: Drawn a blank so far, ma'am.

Looks like he's been keeping his head down.

My source has eyes on all his old haunts, just in case.

Asked him to keep his ear to the ground, too.

Lou's release must have caused a few ripples at least.

Good.

We need to establish his alibi for the night of Frank's murder, too.

What about the male who fled the gym?

Charlene: A lad called Degsy.

We haven't ascertained his full name yet.

Nobody's seen him since the night of the murder.

Another one lying low.

Liam: I'll check out Jake's Gym and his other haunts.

We've nothing on the surveillance of the Mochanis, and officers lost sight of Suzie Chapman earlier today.

I've sequestered a vehicle to help us keep tabs on Dawn Hughes' apartment, so, DC Charlene Ellis will attend.

All right, well, let's get back to work.

[Sighs] Put me through to homicide.

Suspicious activity outside Dawn's flat.

You wanna get here quick.

One of the lads just found him.

It's, er, it's Degsy.

Just here.

Ma'am?

I'm outside Jake's.

Degsy's been found dead.

Right.

Looks like a suspected overdose, but the timing, this close to Rav's escape, it doesn't feel right.

Ma'am.

There's definitely movement inside the flat.

DI Holden's lot have got both entrances covered.

Could be nothing.

Or it could be something.

Charlene: That's him.

Target confirmed exiting now.

-Armed police!

-Armed police!

Stand still!

Place the bag on the floor!

Slowly!

Slowly!

Keep your hands where we can see them!

Keep moving forward.

Clive: 10,000 in cash, passport, burner phone.

Assisting an offender, perverting the course of justice, trespass.

That's just for starters.

Shiv: I had a key.

Yeah, you did.

Who gave it to you?

This is a triple murder enquiry, Mr. Basra.

I haven't done anything.

Anyone we find who's played a role, no matter how small, is going to feel the full force of my team and the law.

I--I did someone a favour.

That's it.

Yeah, who?

Was it Rav Mochani?

Was it him who gave you the key?

I...

I can't remember.

You could get 10 years just for your lack of memory.

The grab bag was Rav Mochani's and you were tasked with fetching and delivering it, so, either you've seen or spoken to him or you know someone who has.

Just found it, didn't I?

You're just a regular burglar, then?

With a key to your victim's home?

Found that, too.

You're one lucky burglar.

Was it Dawn who gave it to you?

Clive: Say you found the key.

That means you must have seen who dropped it and where.

So, is that why you went round?

'Cause you liked the look of the woman who lived there?

Shiv: Hang on a minute.

What-- Rachita: 'Cause if you were stealing something, you would have stolen more than this.

So, if you really don't know Rav and you're not a burglar, that only leaves one other reason why you'd be in the flat.

-I don't attack women.

-Well, then let's stop messing about, Shiv.

Where's Rav Mochani?

This CCTV footage is from an hour ago.

Wait.

Look.

Patrick: Definite rendezvous.

That'll be about the bag of money and the fact -that Rav doesn't have it.

-Even Rav Mochani doesn't ride for free.

Clive: Oh, ... [All sigh] Great.

Now what?

At least we know he's still in the country.

Yeah, but now he's twice as desperate and he still has that gun.

[Phone ringing] [Indistinct chatter] Kwesi: We found this burner phone on Shiv.

It's how he contacted Rav.

Rachita: He must have one, too.

Kwesi: Mm-hmm.

He says the van was supposed to take Rav to Liverpool Docks.

He's not sure.

A container, another vehicle.

-He swears he knows nothing else.

-Thanks.

[Knock on door] [Sighs] Yes, but "close" isn't caught, is it, Ray?

With respect, ma'am, we wouldn't have gotten anywhere if DC Ellis hadn't taken us to Rav's friend.

Oh, well, thank goodness someone was showing some initiative.

I'm sorry, all right, but I'm fed up.

I'm fed up with that lot up there.

I spend too much time going up there apologising when we ... up and then nobody comes down when we get results.

I needed a result.

I'm sorry, but I've got to get on.

Clive: Pretend to be Shiv.

Kwesi: No.

He'll know.

Charlene: 100%.

Kerry: The phone is evidence.

We could be compromising its value if we interfere with it.

It also could be our best chance of catching Rav.

When did he last message?

Just over 5 minutes ago, ma'am.

We're wasting time.

... it.

[Message beep] [Mobile rings] [Rings] [Rings] [Rings] Rav: Don't say anything.

You know I can't hear you.

I'll give myself up, but I want to meet with you first.

Just you.

I'll text you the place.

No.

We can't agree to this.

We can't allow suspects to dictate the terms.

He's slipped through our fingers before, ma'am, and this is our chance of apprehending him again, safely.

The protocols are clear, Ray.

We wait for the negotiator while firearms get mobilised and we'll need an interpreter, too.

No, we don't have time for any of that.

This has to happen now, otherwise Rav will disappear again for good this time.

Sierra Bravo 29.

Man: OK. Commence your approach to the warehouse.

When in sight of the suspect, maintain distance.

Received.

[Door slams] [Loud clank] The armed response team are monitoring.

Don't let this escalate.

Rav?

[Echoes] ... [Soft bang] For ... sake.

I can't see you, Rav.

Bear in mind he'll need to be able to read your lips.

Keep your hands open and in plain sight.

No sudden movements.

[Clunk] I'm on my own, Rav, just like you asked.

Good.

Keep using his name.

Try to draw him out.

Rachita: Are you all right?

Rav, do you need medical attention?

Can you see me, Rav?

Are you reading my lips?

Rav: This is about the girl.

Rachita: Do you mean Sajna, Rav?

Tell me about her.

Tell me about Sajna.

Rav: Frank and Dave found out.

Found out that you'd trafficked her?

Rav, were they trying to blackmail you?

Rav: Frank wanted me to get into business with him.

I want immunity.

Rachita: Immunity can't be granted if you're facing a murder charge, Rav.

Rav?

Rav: Dave Chapman was self-defence.

Self-defence?

But I didn't kill Frank or the nurse.

They set me up.

I'm innocent.

I'm listening to everything you're saying, OK?

Every single word.

Who set you up?

Rav?

I'm gonna need you to try and stay still.

OK?

Calm and still.

I'm gonna need you to give me that gun.

OK. Request, don't demand.

The aim is to resolve this without anyone getting hurt.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

You need to put the gun down to the ground, OK, so we can talk properly.

Is that all right?

I'm asking you to surrender your weapon.

If you don't, I can't help protect you and your family from the Chapmans.

OK.

I want you to take your finger off the trigger, and then take this finger and this thumb and put it on the handle.

And then put it down on the ground, nice and slow, OK?

Nice and slow.

[Gate blasts open] -Armed police!

Armed police!

Rav, put the gun down.

-Armed police!

Put the gun down!

Put it down!

Rachita: Put down the gun!

-Drop the weapon!

Put it down, now!

[Muffled sounds] [Gunshot] Get back!

Rachita: Get the ... off me!

He was ... surrendering!

[Theme music playing]
