1
Adam…
Um, I'm outside your school.
Probably gonna have
to come into your class, all right?
Promise I'll leave you alone.
We could've sent someone more junior here.
You know that, don't ya?
- Hello.
- Mrs. Fenumore?
- Yes.
- I'm D.I. Bascombe.
-Appreciate you doing this.
-Hi. D.S. Frank. Nice to meet you.
Thanks so much
for coming. Um…
We've only just let them all back in,
so, um, everyone might be a bit raw.
Yeah, we know.
We wouldn't be here
if it wasn't important. Okay?
-Well, thanks for coming.
-Lead on.
Um, I'll get you signed in.
- Then I'll take you around.
- Thank you.
- Hello.
- After you.
Tommy. Tommy!
Got a minute?
-See you later.
-See you.
The police are here.
Of course they are.
-They're everywhere.
-I don't like it.
Yeah, same.
You heard from him?
Everyone's talking about him.
I texted him.
Yeah.
I didn't hear nothing. Did you?
Well, you won't. It's not like
he's gonna have his phone on him.
Do you think it's true?
-Yeah.
-You think Jamie did it?
-Yeah.
-They come to your house?
-Yeah.
-They ask about the knife?
-Yeah.
-What did you say?
I… Dad said not to talk to you about it.
-Was he mad?
-Well, yeah. Of course. Weren't yours?
No, they just…
They just didn't say nothing.
-I don't want to be in trouble.
-You're not in trouble.
-I don't want Jamie to be in trouble.
-Yeah.
Well, he is.
Dickhead.
Adam, um, I'm outside your school.
Probably gonna have to come
into your class, all right?
Promise I'll leave you alone.
Adam.
- Give me £1.20 now.
- Fredo.
-Nah. Give me £1.20.
-I don't have money.
-Give me £1.20 now.
-Fredo! Fredo, leave him alone.
- I need £1.20, though, sir.
- No, you don't. You're on free dinners.
Fourteen parents I've had. Fourteen.
"Is your school safe?"
Oh God. What do you say?
I say the matter
didn't even happen on school property.
Then they talk about security guards
and metal detectors.
Mia Taylor told me
we need to open a grief support room.
We're security guards
and social workers now, are we? Great.
Well, I just worry about the impact
it's gonna have on the kids. It's a lot.
-Just keep… keep an eye on it. Yeah?
-Okay.
- Thanks.
- Uh, shirt, please.
-And you, Sean. Come on.
-Sorry, miss.
What the fuck's she on about?
Fucking hell.
Come, let's go see
what the boys are saying. You know what?
-I say we go fuck Jamie up.
-Nah, mate. No point.
-Well, we break in, man.
-Break in? How are you gonna do that?
-Shut up, man.
-Are you guys from Heywood Street?
Yeah.
Get inside!
Hey, Jade.
Do you wanna pop inside the office for us?
Okay?
Thank you. Thanks.
Take a seat.
Thanks, love. Take a seat.
-Go on. You go on that one.
-All right.
- Here.
- Thank you.
You're welcome. Here you go.
Thanks.
-Hi, Jade.
-Hiya.
You all right?
Look, I'm… I'm D.I. Bascombe.
This is D.S. Frank.
And this is Mrs. Fenumore.
She's from the school.
She's gonna keep an eye on things
from the school's perspective,
give you any support
you may want or need, okay?
I teach at the lower school, Jade. Okay?
Uh, Jade, we are, um…
We're really grateful
that you agreed to talk to us.
I agreed, did I?
And I thought I just got pulled off lunch.
Okay, well, we did try to get you at home,
but your mum wasn't sure
what time you'd be back, so…
-Look, if you don't mind, we wanted to--
-I don't mind.
I'm the lead investigator on Katie's case.
I wanted to give you my card.
Has the station number on the front
and also a crime reference number
on the back.
This is to help you keep up
with the progress
of Katie's case, all right?
-You can take that.
-Wow.
It's a bit flash, don't you think?
Okay.
Look, uh, we can tell you that we have
arrested, uh, one suspect, all right--
Yeah, Jamie.
But we need some more information.
Both on the murder weapon,
which we don't yet have,
and why the suspect did it.
Jade, you were good friends with Katie.
That's right, isn't it?
Her best friend.
Ask anyone.
Can you tell us about her?
Ain't you got a kid in the school?
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam, right?
- Yeah.
- He's off, if you didn't know.
He didn't get your cheekbones.
- I don't see what that has to do--
- Can you tell me about him?
Listen.
All you need to know
is she's dead.
She shouldn't be. 'Cause she got stabbed.
She was the best person I knew. That's it.
Uh, Jade, was Katie happy?
Well, she didn't stab herself.
What was her relationship
with boys like?
You mean with Jamie?
She wouldn't go anywhere near him.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Interesting.
Are you saying that she didn't like him?
Because we've got Instagram posts from her
that suggest that they were friends.
- So, you're trying to blame this on her?
- No.
Well, you've got video. Everyone knows.
You should be sorting out
the guy that killed her.
- We're not asking you to talk--
- You are!
- You are! I can hear it in all of ya.
- No, Jade. Jade.
- Can I go?
- A bit of politeness.
Well, I ain't feeling polite today.
Can I go now, Miss Lower School?
Mrs. Fenumore, it's fine. It's okay.
You can go, Jade. Thank you.
Fucking useless.
You guys are meant
to be best of the police?
Jade.
I'm so sorry. She's very upset.
- Shall we crack on?
- Shall we?
-Yeah?
-Yeah, let's go.
-Okay.
-Sorry about that.
It's okay.
Um, all right. We'll start you in 8G.
-That's Jamie's class.
-Yeah, we know.
And you've spoken to some of the boys.
Uh, Ryan and Tommy?
Does everyone know everything
about this case? Huh?
Well, I think people are gonna know
more than you think all day, so…
Oh, I get it, but they shouldn't.
It doesn't matter. Let's go.
Guys! Stop it. Sit…
Hey, everybody, sit down!
James! Put the phones away, please!
- Where's. Mr. Malik?
- He's late. Don't grass on him.
- Right. Detective Bascombe.
- Hi.
He's got something
he wants to talk to you all about.
All right, guys.
Look, as many of you may know, right--
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Uh, Detective Sergeant Frank?
-Frank. It's fine.
-I'm sorry. Apologies.
It's okay. As many of you may know,
there was a tragic incident
that took place
the night before last, okay?
It involved a fatality
among one of your schoolmates.
- Did Jamie do it?
- Listen to the man.
Oh, shit, he did!
-Stop swearing, please!
-Look, calm down. We have made one arrest.
But we are here today
because we still haven't found
the murder weapon.
All right? I know that sounds
very serious and scary,
but you guys may have
some information that we need.
So we're just asking, please come to us
and talk to us if you need to, all right?
-Is it true you've got a video?
-Please.
Any other situations,
any other issues connected to this case,
you can also come and talk to--
Mr. Malik, we protected you.
Sorry I'm late.
You must be the police, yeah?
"You must be the police!"
I love you, Mr. Malik!
Mr. Malik.
I'm gonna give Mr. Malik my card.
It has the police station number on it.
If you wanna talk, you've got information,
go to Mr. Malik. He'll come to us. Right?
-Thank you. Take care.
-Thank you.
Thank you very much. Wait.
Yeah, we're getting back
to the film now, uh, so…
Uh, Marie, you wanna get your pen out?
I ain't got a pen, sir.
Why do schools have that same smell?
It's like a mixture of vomit,
cabbage, and masturbation.
It's horrible.
Yeah, sure.
Do you really think
we're gonna find a knife here?
Uh, we may have enough. We may.
But if we don't find that knife,
he's got a bargaining chip, hasn't he?
You know how it goes. And we saw him
walk past the school on CCTV.
-It was dark, I know--
-Yeah, I get it.
And I don't have a motive.
I know you need a motive.
I just honestly don't understand
why that Jade girl was so angry.
She's upset, mate.
They're all gonna be very upset.
I know. I get that. I'm just saying
she made it seem like Katie hated Jamie.
I'm so sorry about that.
Mr. Malik's newly qualified.
-It's all good. Thank you.
-Shall we carry on?
Let's go.
I did send a note around
telling everybody that you was coming.
What do you wanna do?
You wanna go to isolation?
Because I can send you to isolation.
No problem whatsoever.
There's no phones allowed in class at all!
All the teachers are really upset
by this too, as you can see.
Um, I just… Everyone's just devastated.
I taught Katie in year five.
She was so bright.
Just such a beautiful little girl.
You know, she talked
a little bit too much, but
I really thought
she was gonna do something with her life.
Yeah. It's a horrible shock
for everybody, isn't it?
Yeah. It's devastating.
Okay, um, follow me. We'll… carry on.
Hello.
- I've got no idea.
- You all right?
Look, keep an eye out for any of the kids
that react funny when we're in the class.
-We'll chase 'em up after school, yeah?
-Yeah.
Good.
Um, and just to say, I can supply you
with any names you like or addresses too.
Okay, Mrs. Fenumore.
That would be useful, all right?
-That's all I want to be. Useful.
-Can we go to 10G?
Yes, of course, uh, Mr. Curtis.
It's a great question,
and one--
- Excuse me!
- I need--
Right, that is it!
Not another word!
-Put your pens down!
-Fucking hell.
Put your hands down
and watch the video.
Mr. Curtis,
would it be all right if we come in?
- The police would like to talk.
- Mr. Curtis.
-You all right?
-You all right?
- Hi. D.S. Frank.
- You all right?
-Everything okay?
-Yeah. Want a quick word with the kids.
Okay, so this is D.I. Bascombe
and D.S. Frank
from Heywood Street Police Station.
They'd like to talk
about what happened to Katie.
Now, they're here
because they care about this school.
And, as many of you know,
D.I. Bascombe is also Adam's dad.
Adam.
All right, that's enough.
I said stop that, Fredo. I said stop!
See me after class.
I'm sorry. That's unacceptable.
-It's all right.
-Have some respect.
Uh, guys, I don't wanna keep you long,
all right?
You know there was a terrible crime
that was committed in our town
the night before last.
And we're just here
trying to understand what--
You've gotta be kidding. I'm sorry.
- Okay, make an orderly line.
- I'm so sorry about this.
There's no smoke.
You're supposed
to be filing out of the school.
Try and stay in straight lines.
-Sir, you think it's terrorism?
-No, Billie, it isn't terrorism.
No running. Stay in lines!
All right, straight down
to the tennis courts. No messing about.
No time to grab your things.
Straight down. No messing.
Thank you.
It'll be a false alarm.
Although, someone
did throw a set of fireworks
into the computer lab last year.
We had a fire. Um…
-Crowthers were selling ten for a quid.
-Not very helpful.
It wasn't very good, no.
Uh, but we managed to contain it, so…
Did you guys come? The police were here.
-No, it wasn't us.
-No? They were very helpful.
All right, we'll make our way
to the tennis courts. Follow me.
- Hurry up!.
- Thank you.
Hurry. Quickly.
- Keep moving.
- Keep moving.
- Thanks so much.
- Keep it moving.
- So where are we going?
- In the tennis courts.
Okay?
Mr. Malik, can I have a word?
Yeah.
-I've been reading your school reports.
-Yeah.
Jamie was a good student, yeah?
-Are we allowed to talk out here?
-Yeah. Yeah.
I wanna know,
was there any signs of unhappiness?
-I'm… I'm just a tutor. I mean--
-Well, you're a teacher.
Yeah, but I teach history.
I don't see him, you know? I don't…
I don't…
I don't…
I wouldn't know, you know? I…
Look, these kids are fucking impossible.
I mean, what am I supposed to do?
Come on, ladies.
Let's go, please!
Right, 9G!
In your line, let's go!
You know exactly. Not messing.
Get in your lines.
Can you please keep in line?
- Everything all right?
- Yeah.
Oi!
Ryan! What have you done?
You fucking bastard! You killed my friend!
You killed my friend!
You fucking… fucking…
- Fucking hell!
- Jade! Jade!
Fucking… He killed my friend!
-No, he didn't!
-The fucking freak! Get off me, miss!
-Come on, calm down. Let it go.
-Get off me!
That fucking freak killed my friend!
You fucking murderer!
-Take her to Mrs. Bailey!
-Okay. Okay, sit up.
Slowly. That's it.
I'm gonna take him to the room.
Have you hurt your head?
Ryan, did you… did you land on your head?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
You just got banged by a girl,
you sausage.
Shut it, you.
We're gonna go up to my room,
but we're gonna go really slowly, okay?
See that?
Ryan just got banged by a girl!
This is the last time!
In your lines! Now! You! In your line.
Toby!
- Did you land funny?
- I'll give detentions!
I don't care!
In your lines! Now! And phones away.
-Girls, seriously. Back in your lines.
-Let's take you back to 10G.
No. We… we wanna talk to Ryan.
-Let's talk to Ryan.
-He'll be with the nurse now--
That's fine. We'll go up there.
It's all good.
-Okay. I hope he's all right.
-Yeah?
10G! Come on!
It's absolute chaos.
Thank you.
Straight in.
Back to class. Thank you.
Inside, you're on TikTok
Hating a teenager ♪
Thirteen, making my own paper ♪
Put that phone away
and get back to class now!
- Shut up, Miss.
- Excuse me?
God's sake.
I said keep going, please.
Up the stairs. Let's go.
-Are you sure it's not on fire?
-No, it's not. Get to class. Thank you.
Okay, guys. Keep it moving.
Keep it moving. Thank you.
- That's it. Straight back to classrooms.
- Thank you.
- Quick as you can.
- Upstairs.
- Sorry.
- It's all right.
Thank you.
Okay, well done.
Get back to class. Well done.
All right, here we are.
Hi, Carla. Can we come in, please?
The police would like to talk to Ryan.
Right, yeah.
Uh, I'm just gonna check this.
Okay, look at me. Look at my nose.
Okay, well, that looks all right.
But you did land on it.
Hey, miss. Uh, do you mind
if I have a word with Ryan?
- Is that all right with you, Ryan?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- All right?
- Yeah, of course.
- Thank you.
-Do you mind if I sit down, mate?
-Yeah.
- All good.
- Am I all right here, Ryan?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
That was, uh…
It was a bit mad, weren't it?
-Yeah.
-I think you're gonna have a black eye.
-Yeah, hopefully not.
-Yeah.
Well, when I was, uh…
when I was around your age, I…
I ran into a bus shelter
because I wanted a black eye.
- What?
- I know. It's crazy.
Don't ask.
I was probably a bit younger than you.
Maybe about nine.
Mm.
Did it work?
Well, I wanted to look like a cowboy.
In the end, I ended up losing a tooth
and looking like a, uh…
Yeah, I can't say. But it hurt.
Mm.
It's crazy, you know, what your brain
tells you to do when you're a kid, right?
-Yeah, you were popular in school, though.
-What makes you say that?
I just know. You were.
Well, I was,
once I got rid of the big Afro that I had.
My mum wouldn't let me
cut my hair for ages, so…
Once I got it cut,
I got a fade, things were different.
Yeah.
Is popularity
important to you, Ryan?
- Of course.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- When we spoke to you last--
- Tommy said you spoke to him and all.
- Yeah.
His, uh…
his dad won't let him say nothing.
That's true.
It's not entirely right, but…
I mean, would you like to have
your guardian here
or solicitor here, Ryan?
- No, thank you.
- Okay.
Were you, like, really popular?
- Yeah.
- With girls and stuff?
I did okay.
Um, doesn't look like
you knocked out any teeth.
-You don't believe me, no?
-Mm.
I'll show you.
Look. See that one there?
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.
-Is that a cap or a filling?
-Filling.
Mm. I got all me teeth.
- Brush 'em dead careful.
- Okay.
I don't know why they matter so much,
but… …they do.
Yeah.
Look, mate, we, uh…
We're getting clearer
on the geography of that night, you know?
But there's still three things
that we feel you can help us with.
Okay, Carla, um, is it all right
if I go now, because I'm--
It's better if you stay
a little bit longer. Okay?
Okay.
Sorry, what was you saying?
Look, uh, what…
We wanna know what Jamie intended.
And what motiv…
Do you know what I mean
by "motivated"? Yeah?
Yeah. And "intended."
Good. All right.
So what motivated him to do…
Why he did what he did, right?
We think you can help with that. And, um…
You know, like, for instance,
on the night, was he happy or sad?
I don't know. Normal.
Okay.
Well, what did you talk about?
Nothing, really. Just hung out.
This is gonna be… seem
like a really silly question to you.
But, look…
Did Jamie ever talk to you
about his feelings?
Like, how he was feeling?
Yeah, nah.
-No?
-No.
Can we talk about Katie?
I don't really know
anything about her, so…
Can we talk
about what Jamie said about Katie?
I didn't… I didn't know
anything about what he was gonna do.
All right.
Would you describe Katie and Jamie
as friends? Would you?
I don't think so. Not really. Um…
Like I say,
I didn't really get to know her.
Anyway, can I go now? Because I'm fine.
- Ryan.
- Wait.
We're not finished. I've got one question,
and this is a really important one, right?
We still haven't found
the knife that Jamie used--
Yeah, cool, but I need to go now.
They said they'd keep me back.
-They won't, Ryan. Just, please--
-Please. I need to get back.
You've hit your head,
so can you come back in? Ryan!
- I don't want water.
- Mrs. Bailey?
- Yes.
- Her mum's been called.
Thank you.
- Are you serious?
- Your mum needs to be told.
She'll be mad at me
'cause she'll have to get out of work.
What…
How are you two?
Are you… Are you getting on better now?
It's okay, yeah.
I did say it might not be best
to come in today, didn't I, love?
Where do you want me going?
Mum doesn't like me
in her house without her there.
I'm not walking around places…
I'm not walking around places…
Katie's been, so…
You know, I… I'd go to her house.
-That's where I'd go if I wasn't here.
-Go to her house, then.
No.
Listen, go to her house.
I'm sure her parents would love to see ya.
No, trust me. Trust me, they wouldn't.
- Miss?
- Yes?
Am I in trouble?
Oh God.
Sit down.
Come on. Sit down, please.
You know you're in trouble.
Will the police come
by the house because I don't…
I don't know.
That depends what Ryan decides.
-But he's only a little boy.
-So, then why did you do it?
I don't know.
I know you're hurt and you're upset,
but you don't know Ryan's got anything
to do with what happened to Katie.
Talk to me. Come on.
She was my best friend, miss.
She was the only one who actually…
She was the only one
who actually thought I was okay.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I don't know what to do anymore 'cause…
it's not like I have anyone else now.
- Yes. Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.
Yes, you do, love.
You've got lots of people.
- No, I don't. You're only saying that.
- I'm not. But this…
Jade, this is a huge loss, love.
So we'll arrange for somebody
for you to have a chat to.
-Not another shrink.
-It's not a shrink.
-No, fuck that.
-Somebody for you to talk to. Please.
-Are you serious?
-No, you can't go back to class.
You know you can't.
-Every fucking time.
-Come on, Jade, darling. Stay with me.
- You've got to stay with me.
- Leave me alone, miss.
- Please!
- Repeat with me.
Jade, come on, love. Please.
Saudi Arabia and Paraguay.
Only Paraguay is different
on the reverse side.
Saudi Arabia is exactly the same
on both sides.
And which country does not have a…
It may not seem big,
but any little piece of information
you've got… we would love.
Okay. All right.
Thank you for your time.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Come here.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
Why are you not in class? Hmm?
Can I… talk to you?
In… private. Please.
Okay.
-Uh, Mrs. Fenumore.
-Yes.
Do you have a, uh…
a free class, private room?
Just a place
I can have a word with Adam privately?
-Um… Private… Yes.
-Yeah?
Uh, follow me down here.
- Okay, thank you. Come on.
- A room down the stairs.
There.
Is this all right?
In there. Go on.
Do you, um,
want me to come in with you, or…
-No, it's all right.
-Is he all right?
-I haven't got a clue.
-I'll wait outside for ya.
-Take your time.
-Yeah.
-Thank you, Mrs. Fenumore.
-Everything all right? Okay.
What's up? You all right?
Is this about that guy in your class?
That Fredo guy? Huh?
No. Um…
-What's up?
-Sit down.
Adam, you're freaking me out.
What's going on? Hmm?
Just, um…
Is this…
You said you wanted to talk to people…
who might be able to help you understand.
And you can help me understand?
Yeah? That's what you're saying?
-Adam, is this--
-You wanna go.
-I don't wanna go.
-You wanna go to the gym or work.
-The door's right there. Just leave, Dad.
-I'm here. What…?
Have you got information about that?
Do you know where that knife is?
Has someone said something?
Because, listen, I've got sniffer dogs,
people down drains,
and all sorts of stuff.
Dad.
It's not going well
'cause you're not getting it.
What am I not getting?
You're not reading what they're doing.
What's happening.
What are you talking about?
Insta. You've been looking
at Insta, right?
Yeah.
Uh, okay. So you've, um…
You've seen… what she wrote?
I have.
-Okay.
-Looks like she's being nice, right?
Isn't she? Hmm?
The dynamite.
What do you think that means?
Uh, I don't know.
An exploding red pill. The blue pills mean
you see the world as it wants you to--
That's when the Matrix…
You've been watching The Matrix?
What?
-Don't worry. Yeah. Don't worry, carry on.
-The Matrix.
Carry on.
Um…
The red pill's like, "I see the truth."
It's a call to action by the manosphere.
"Manosphere"?
Which is where the 100 comes in.
The 80 to 20 rule.
Adam, Adam. Listen.
My brain can't take all this.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Just break it down.
80% of women are attracted to 20% of men.
Women. You must trick them
'cause you'll never get them
in a normal way.
80% of women are cut off or…
Or she's saying he's an incel, Dad.
He's 13. How can you be
involuntarily celibate at 13?
-Dad, I know--
-Who isn't celibate at 13? Huh?
She's saying he always will be.
"You're an incel."
You're gonna be,
I don't know, a virgin forever, basically.
And all those people have hearted,
which means they're agreeing with her.
Okay. So this is…
This is bullying?
I mean, it's… it's a bit of a stretch,
Ad, but…
-You don't believe me, Dad.
-I'm not saying I don't believe you.
Where are you going?
Hey, stop. What are you doing?
This is useful.
I… I… I didn't know.
It's just hard to believe,
like, all that from two symbols.
You text hearts, right? To Mum?
-When I don't know what to reply, yeah.
-What color?
-Red.
-Means love.
Purple, horny. Yellow, I'm interested.
Are you interested?
Pink, I'm interested, but not in sex.
Orange, you're gonna be fine.
It all has a meaning, Dad.
Everything has a meaning.
Well, it's…
It's a good thing
I only text Mum red, then, innit?
Okay.
I could, um, show you 15 others.
Messages sent to Jamie.
All different emojis.
They're saying the same thing.
Look…
are you saying…
that Katie is leading this incel stuff?
Is that what it is?
Yeah, like she's bullying Jamie? Yeah?
Dad. I… I don't know, Dad.
I… I don't know them.
They're two years below me.
This is… This is just what I'm seeing
on his Insta, you know?
Okay. Okay.
Look, I… I can't tell you what he did.
You know that, right?
We all know what he did, Dad.
I just thought you needed to know.
It was just embarrassing
watching you blunder about.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I have been blundering,
to be fair.
Look…
Does any of this Instagram stuff
affect you? Hmm?
-It's not about me.
-I know.
But does it, son?
You don't call me "son."
You call other people "son."
You never call me "son."
Okay. I'm sorry.
No.
I'm on Insta, but I don't post.
-And you're okay, yeah?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
- Okay. Listen.
- Yeah.
Um…
-Thank you. Yeah?
-Yeah.
-I appreciate it.
-Yeah. Um…
All right.
I should, um… get back
to the last bit of class.
Okay. You go.
Hey, thank y--
They pick everything up.
You all right?
Yeah. Um…
We were wrong
about all that Instagram stuff.
-What do you mean?
-Katie was bullying Jamie.
-Oh no.
-That's what it was.
Incel stuff. You know what that is.
Yeah, I do.
No, I don't know what that is. What is it?
It's the, um, involuntary celibate stuff.
It's the Andrew Tate shite.
-Hmm.
-Oh.
-Fucking hell.
-I've heard the boys talking about him.
Yeah. Uh, look, Mrs. Fenumore,
thank you so much.
-You can go now. We've…
-Thank you.
-Thank you very much. Nice to meet you.
-Sure? I can take you…
Are you sure you don't want to go
or need to go somewhere?
No, we're all good. Thank you very much.
Well, it's good to be useful, and I'll be
in the office if you need anything.
But I just want to say thank you so much.
We really appreciate
everything you've… you've done.
-Thank you.
-No worries. Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Bye.
-Bye-bye.
-Bye.
Fucking hell.
Yeah, fucking hell.
Hmm.
Do you know what? I honestly…
I just can't stand this fucking place.
- You wanted to come, mate.
- Yeah, I know, but…
Does it look like anyone's
learning anything in there to you? Hmm?
It just looks like a fucking holding pen.
Videos in every class.
Mr. Malik just walking in and out
when he wants.
-And you said it fucking smells.
-It does fucking stink.
All schools stink.
Just come here. Just have a minute here.
Just get our head round this.
There'll be some good teachers in here
and some good students.
-My school was a bit like this.
-Well, how did you survive, then?
'Cause I had a good teacher.
I had Mrs. Benton, who was fucking class.
She taught, um, art and photography.
I liked drawing pictures and stuff.
Mm. Nice.
All kids really need is one thing that
makes them feel okay about themselves.
You want kids?
-You have never asked me that before.
-I know. I'm just…
It's not something you ask your colleague.
Well, you can ask your mates, can't you?
And no. No, not really.
-I never wanted 'em.
-No?
Mm.
But I do love him very much.
Is he all right?
I mean, that is the longest
he's spoken to me in a while, so…
Surely that's a good thing, no?
Yeah, but… Look, I… I just…
Sometimes I don't think I'm the right fit
for him as a dad.
You know what I mean?
Well, I know you. And I know you can be.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
All right. Look…
-We haven't got the knife.
-No.
But, um…
I think back to the station. Do you?
Yeah. We've got what we need anyway now.
-Mish.
-What?
You've hated being here, yeah?
I get it. What's up?
It's not even that, you know?
-Do you know what I don't like about this?
-Go on.
Right, the perpetrator
always gets the front line.
"A man raped a woman."
We've followed
Jamie's brain around this entire case.
-Hmm. Yeah.
-Right? Katie isn't important. Jamie is.
Everyone will remember Jamie.
No one will remember her.
That's what annoys me.
That's what gets to me.
I think you're wrong.
I think we're here for Katie.
We're here for her parents.
We're here to get answers.
It's our job to understand why.
You can't understand why.
Do you actually think you can?
We've got the video. We know what he did.
You're not gonna know why.
Look at the things we've seen.
You are not gonna know why.
You just won't.
Okay, Mish, look. Go back to the station.
-I'm gonna talk to Ryan one last time.
-But you've spoken to Ryan.
I know, but he's…
he's not saying something.
I know there's more.
- You coming or not?
- Fuck's sake.
- Mr. Malik.
- Oh, for fuck's sake.
How can I help?
- I need to have a word with Ryan.
- Sir, at least stop the tape.
It's a good bit.
- One second. Ryan. Come on.
- Ryan.
- Holy shit! Holy shit!
- Whoa!
Come here! Ryan!
Stop running. Stop, mate.
Ryan!
Hey, hey, hey!
Ryan!
Stop!
Hey! Come here!
Come here!
Ryan!
Don't. Don't you dare.
Fuck.
Hey!
Come here!
Fuck.
- Move!
- Hey!
Ryan. Ryan.
Mind the road! Mind the road!
Fuck!
Hey. Where are you going?
Stop running!
Get the fuck down.
What the fuck are you doing?!
Come here. Come here.
-What does "incel" mean to you?
-What?
Incel. Katie called Jamie an incel.
What does it mean?
-Who did you get that off?
-Was she bullying him?!
-Why are you always talking to me?
-What do you mean?
-Tommy! Talk to him.
-Fuck Tommy!
What's he got to do with anything?
You know Jamie!
-He knows Jamie.
-No, he doesn't! Not like you.
Listen. I'm gonna ask you one question.
I want a fucking serious answer.
- Do you understand?
- All right. Yes!
-Did you help him get that knife?
-No, man.
Ryan, do not play with me.
Did you help him?
-No.
-Hey!
There's a dead fucking girl! Right?
-All right. Right.
-Answer the question. Talk.
Right.
It was… It was my knife.
-I just want things the way they were.
-Fucking hell.
-I thought he'd just scare her.
-Where is it?
I don't know.
-Where the fuck is it?
-I don't know!
-All right. You're coming with me.
-What?
-That's it. You're under arrest. Stop!
-Get off!
Ryan Kowalska, I am arresting you
on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense
if you do not mention when questioned
something you later rely on in court,
anything you do say
may be given in evidence.
Get off me!
Please, I don't wanna go!
-Get off!
-Fucking hell.
I haven't run like that in years.
Get off!
Fuck.
-You good with this? Yeah?
-Yep.
Just, uh, book him in.
Notify anyone that needs to know.
Yep. Will do.
And, yeah. Charge Jamie.
Without you?
Yeah. We've got everything
that we need now. All right?
Yeah.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm good. Um…
There's something…
something I want to sort out.
-Sure you're all right?
-I'm good. See you in a bit.
Yeah, all right. See you there.
Fuck.
Oh God.
Adam!
You all right?
-What's up? Come here.
-I don't want a lift. I'll take the bus.
No, no, no. I'm not…
I'm not offering you a lift.
Come. Come… here.
Look, uh…
I'm hungry.
All right? And, uh, I was gonna…
I was gonna get some chips and a Coke.
I wanted to know if you wanted to come.
-You've got your case.
-Yes, I know I've got my case.
All right? It's nearly done now.
I'm about to hand it over.
I've got some free time.
I want to spend it with you.
Because I love you. All right?
Yeah. Um, I can be hungry.
Good. Thank you.
Come on. Get in the car.
Look, uh, put your bag in the back
and put your seatbelt on, please.
So, come on. How was school?
What lessons did you have?
Um, maths, chemistry, and French.
Français?
You speak French, yeah?
- Yeah.
- Well, go on, then.
Um, je m'appelle.
¿Cómo está? Ça va bien.
Uh…
S'il vous plaît?
All right, stop.
That's enough. That is enough.
You're destroying the language.
So, where do you wanna go
for chips?
Uh, the Chinese place on Chapel Hill.
Why would we go
to a Chinese for chips, Adam?
Listen, it's the best.
The salt and pepper chips.
The barbecue sauce.
-Maybe even a bit of mayo on top. Bang!
-All right. It better be. It better be.
It better be good.
