OK.
Right.
I don't know what's right and wrong any more.
OK? I thought I was doing something good this week and now it's got me fucked.
So what I want to know is, right, how do you even know .
.
before you do something, right, how do you even know whether it's right or not? And I mean, right for you? And right for them.
Right for someone you've never even met? And fuck.
I know, I know I'm spinnin' here, but - Right and wrong - Mm-hm.
.
.
is quite a binary concept when you break it down.
Pretty much the first thing a child learns.
If you can see through the fog and clear your mind in the ways that we've discussed, then you'll know what is right and what is wrong, and you will be able to apply that decision to the issue at hand.
Does that help? Are you able to, you know, share what's? - Can I stop you? - Yeah.
Erm - Do you want? - I'm sorry, no.
It doesn't help.
It doesn't help.
I'm going to go.
You'll fucking hate me, but you don't even know who I am.
So excuse me.
Well, I can only apologise.
Thank you.

Are you sure it's corruption? I mean, if it is, obviously I'm on board if it's something like that, but I have heard about him having other issues.
If he's bent, he's going to be struggling to cope.
But the corruption came first, I can absolutely say that for certain.
I'm not sure.
What we are supposed to do as police officers is find the truth.
If he's corrupt, we find that truth.
If he's not corrupt and he's just a bit unstable, we'll find that truth.
You're just helping me find the truth.
- I just want to do what's right.
- Brilliant.
Come on.
Hey.
Not going to have me whacked, are you? What? I had no choice, Casey, honest.

Anyone could have told him.

I've been walking away from someone who isn't even there.
- Keep your voice down.
- What? Keep my voice down?! Shall I go as quiet as you do when you lose your temper, hey? Or, or, should I go quieter than that? [WHISPERS.]

Why'd you buy a phone at the petrol station? You what? You spying on me? No.
So? So why'd you buy a phone at the petrol station? Well, if you must know, I want a new number away from Kate.
You looked at the intel system in the car.
You taking the piss? That's me job.
You hid it, though.
I looked after you tonight.
If you're struggling, Chris, you can talk to me, I mean that.
All right, thanks.
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
Oh, it's yours.
Hello? He interrogated the intel system and bought a burner phone last night.
Yeah? From the garage.
OK.
Tell me you got the number.
Yeah.
That's great.
Well done, Rachel.
Oh, you filthy fucking shit! [SIGHS DEEPLY.]
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
Hello? You want 30,000? Who's this? A friend of mine called to say that he'd spoken to you about something that belongs to me.
So if you want money, I'm the person who's going to give it to you, assuming you were telling the truth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, it's, coke, erm .
.

I don't know if it's cut, but it's, like, in a sports holdall, a big one.
Why only 30? It's all I need.
You haven't been doing this for long, have you? Well, it's what I need.
Eight o'clock, Calderstones Park.
The car park off Yew Tree.
Yeah, I know it.
Bring it and you get your money.
Don't bring it, and you'll be sorry.
Boss.
[WHISPERS.]
Fucking hell.
Fuck.
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
- Yeah? - I spoke to him.
Who? - Your policeman.
- Why? He's reached out to Dom Carver last night, trying to sell my drugs.
Carver rang me and now I'm fixing your mistakes.
I'm going to kick the shit out of him.
David and Marcus'll be there.
No, hang on.

You get the money? - Walk away.
- Aw, mate, you're taking the piss.
I'll box you off for a few bob when this is all over, but come on, there's no way you're getting 30 grand off these lads.
You're fucking killing me, mate.
Get back in the car and go home, mate.
Mate, I need this.
All right.
You think you do, but you don't.
Honest to God.
You're dodging a bullet and a half, gizz it.
Is that a threat? Not from big lad, from them, come on.
Fucking wake up, lad.
Chris.
That the bizzie? Dirty fucking rat.
Yeah, we got it.
Hang on.
Yeah, looks like it.
Marcus is just testing it.

Marcus is asking him to sample it.
[SNORTS.]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You know Chris Carson? - Who are you? - I'm a drug dealer.
My name's Ray Mullen.
I'm part of a team investigating Carson.
I know you're as fed up as I am.
I love my husband, Ray.
Why are you lying to me? After all I have done for you.
I have given you free money, lad.
It's not free money.
You are disappearing these last few months.
- You missed breakfast.
- I had work, you know.
- It isn't great, Chris.
- I know.
Look, I'm sorry.
Darling, I love you.
I want to be a good bobby.
I want to do good things.

Decent? Underpants too.
I see the psoriasis is back.
You've been hiding.
No, I haven't.
Don't argue with me.
You told us you were going to make everyone money, and then you ran away.
Someone someone took it off me courier.
He got smashed.
Sorry.
But I'm going to get it back.
Do you have any security? Well, I've got Barry and Ian, but I mean collateral, Carl.
Cash.
I'm all in.
I never thought.
Sorry.
It's OK.
We'll take it from here.
Don't worry about it.
No, no, I can I can fix this.
- Honest to God, I can sort it - It's OK.
Get dressed.

The boy who fell.
Yeah.
I'm not here 'cos he fell, I'm here 'cos I cried when he fell.

Oh, can we, um, try again with the time we've got left? Yeah.
Um I don't I don't know.
Just keep it simple.
- Please.
- OK.
OK.
Right.
I don't know what's right and wrong any more.
OK? I thought I was doing something good this week and now it's got me fucked.
So what I want to know is, right, how do you even know .
.
before you do something, right, how do you even know whether it's right or not? And I mean, right for you? And right for them.
Right for someone you've never even met? And fuck.
I know, I know I'm spinnin' here, but - Right and wrong - Mm-hm.
.
.
is quite a binary concept when you break it down.
Pretty much the first thing a child learns.
If you can see through the fog and clear your mind in the ways that we've discussed, then you'll know what is right and what is wrong, and you will be able to apply that decision to the issue at hand.
Does that help? Are you able to, you know, share what's? - Can I stop you? - Yeah.
Erm - Do you want? - I'm sorry, no.
It doesn't help.
It doesn't help.
I'm going to go.
You'll fucking hate me, but you don't even know who I am.
So excuse me.
Well, I can only apologise.
Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES.]

Honestly, mate.
Fair enough, I was out of order.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, it was.
All right.
So are you following me or what? - Where've you been, Chris? - To see my therapist.
What do you want? You crackin' up again? You're going to end up like your old fella.
Seriously, mate.
Look, look Look, if you want to talk? I'm late picking up Tilly, so what do you fucking want? Is it money? 'Cos I can, you know, try and sort you Oh, mate.
Look you you threatened to kill my wife.

OK.
How about this, mate.

Fucking job, it's not worth it.
Chris? - 30K.
- 30K? Where the fuck am I going to get that? I don't care, right, just get it.
Are you sure it's corruption? I mean, if it is, obviously I'm on board if it's something like that, but I have heard about him having other issues.
If he's bent, he's going to be struggling to cope.
But the corruption came first, I can absolutely say that for certain.
I'm not sure.
What we are supposed to do as police officers is find the truth.
If he's corrupt, we find that truth.
If he's not corrupt and he's just a bit unstable, we'll find that truth.
You're just helping me find the truth.
- I just want to do what's right.
- Brilliant.
Come on.
Hey.
Not going to have me whacked, are you? What? I had no choice, Casey, honest.
What you on about "whacked"? I watched Goodfellas on ITV4 the other night.
- Boss film.

I'll just get me bag.
Well, he was going to give me a grand, you know.
A grand? Erm .

You bought me a Wham bar? Well, I robbed it, like, but I was going to give you half the dough.
So you was going to give me 500 quid, but instead you got me battered and robbed me a Wham bar? He didn't pay me.
A Wham bar, though? Hello, hello, hello.

How's the counselling? You what? Come here, Tilly.

30 grand? Yeah.
The copper says he can get me the gear, but we've got to give him 30K.
Lad, you shouldn't be paying him, you should be knocking him down.
How the fuck do I knock him down? Kick the shit out of him.
Piece of piss, lad.
Me and Baz'll go round there, no sweat.
You can't, lad.
He's a bizzie.

You know I got demoted, right? You do know.
Well, I wasn't bent, Rachel.
I know everyone says it, but I wasn't.
I was a lot of things, but they were wrong to think I was bent.
I never took a penny.
Anyway, Kate carried me then, and she's carried me since.
I haven't got a pot to piss in.
All right? What's he doing here? He's Ellie's husband.

Well, half the job know you're losing it, Chris.
Anyone could have told him.
All right, don't don't walk away.
You know, I've been walking away for years, Chris, it's just you haven't noticed, and that's the madness of it.
I've been walking away from someone who isn't even there.
- Keep your voice down.
- What? Keep my voice down?! Shall I go as quiet as you do when you lose your temper, hey? Or, or, should I go quieter than that? [WHISPERS.]
Or should I go as quiet as you do, when you sit there silent for hours, staring at the wall? You know, when it was just sadness, when it was just that, I thought I could get close to you and help you.
But now, you .

- Why? 'Cos you're thick.
I'm not thick.
Who would you talk to? Don't know, have a bird if I lived round here.
Aside from the bird, which you haven't got, who would you talk to? Next door.
Round here it's, like, doctors or solicitors or something.
Like, what would you talk to them about? I talk to solicitors.
It's not the same thing, dickhead.
You know, like, Carl and the money and that I would have done the same.
Would you, actually? Grand's a grand, innit? Yeah.
- Hey, get on this.
- What? Ready for this? Huh! Ugh! [CHUCKLES.]
What are you doing, mate? Fucking hell, are you off your This is the turbo.
[THEY LAUGH.]
On me head, I can do it.
Wow! It's good, isn't it? Fucking state of you, with your Michael Palin backpack and that.
Shut up.
Sorry.
Where we going, anyway? [HE SCOFFS.]
Hey, I was good at shapes at school.
Miss Connolly said.
[SHE CHUCKLES.]
Dodecahedron! [SHE LAUGHS.]
- Hey.
- What? [FAINT CAR ALARM.]
Knobhead! Grandad, no! Erm .
.
I'd, I'd give it five minutes, lad.
[KNOCKING.]
Mrs Jones? - She's in the bin.
- I'm sorry? My daughter, Alana.
She's schizophrenic.
I can't do this any more.
She keeps coming back.
I keep kicking her out, and she keeps coming back.
She needs help, proper help, she won't take her tablets, and they won't take her.
And I can't do this.
OK, sorry.
So she's in the bin now? She was shouting that the Sheriff of Nottingham was after her.
I can't do this any more.
The Sheriff of Nottingham? I know what's going on.
What's going on? He can't afford to have me running around knowing what I know.
I'm a threat to him.
OK, Alana, your mum says you've not been taking your tablets, and I think that might mean that you just, you need some help.
He wants me to take them 'cos he knows they mess with me head.
All right, can't you see I'm in peril here? Peril? Fucking peril! There is no-one here that is going to hurt you.
It's just me.
We haven't got time for this.
You know what I mean? Like we could be here all day.
You could've given me a bit of warning.
You coming out? [INTERCOM.]
Hello.
Hi, it's the police.
We've brought Alana back.
You want to give us the keys, then I'll just, um, - grab some change and get us some coffees.
- Mm-hm.
Cheers.
[PHONE RINGS.]
- What? - You all right? [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Just a rough night, innit? I know the feeling.
- You schizophrenic? - Yeah.
You? Anxiety and depression.
Bummer.
What you on? Sertraline.
- What dose? - 100 mil.
Yeah, you might want to up it.
I might.
Yeah.
My advice .
.
take some time off work.
And, erm, get some sleep.
You look like shit.
Yeah, you live in a bin.
Take it or leave it.
[DOOR BUZZES.]
- Here you go, love.
- Thank you.
- Ta.
Yeah.
- All right? You OK? Yeah.
Hm.
Oh, Christ.
You know, I was just telling him that he should just take some time off work.
Stay out of it, Alana.
[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
Jesus Christ.
Mm.
Yeah, you get used to it.
I'll take that.
Listen, Rachel, tonight, that's between us, yeah? Yeah, course.
Just find somewhere to sleep tonight, 'cos you're not coming to mine.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why'd you buy a phone at the petrol station? You what? You spying on me? No.
So? So why'd you buy a phone at the petrol station? Well, if you must know, I want a new number away from Kate.
You looked at the intel system in the car.
You taking the piss? That's me job.
You hid it, though.
I looked after you tonight.
If you're struggling, Chris, you can talk to me, I mean that.
All right, thanks.
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
Oh, it's yours.
Hello? He interrogated the intel system and bought a burner phone last night.
Yeah? From the garage.
OK.
Tell me you got the number.
Yeah.
That's great.
Well done, Rachel.
Oh, you filthy fucking shit! [SIGHS DEEPLY.]
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
Hello? You want 30,000? Who's this? A friend of mine called to say that he'd spoken to you about something that belongs to me.
So if you want money, I'm the person who's going to give it to you, assuming you were telling the truth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, it's, coke, erm .
.
there's a lot.
I don't know if it's cut, but it's, like, in a sports holdall, a big one.
Why only 30? It's all I need.
You haven't been doing this for long, have you? Well, it's what I need.
Eight o'clock, Calderstones Park.
The car park off Yew Tree.
Yeah, I know it.
Bring it and you get your money.
Don't bring it, and you'll be sorry.
Boss.
[WHISPERS.]
Fucking hell.
Fuck.
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
- Yeah? - I spoke to him.
Who? - Your policeman.
- Why? He's reached out to Dom Carver last night, trying to sell my drugs.
Carver rang me and now I'm fixing your mistakes.
I'm going to kick the shit out of him.
David and Marcus'll be there.
No, hang on.
I'm not, erm .
.
I'll sort him out.
I know him.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll let him know he was out of order.
All right.
Calderstones at eight.
Yeah, sound.
You her boyfriend? I'm her mate.
That's a relief.
- All right, dickhead.
- Jesus Christ.
- What? - It's all right, chill your beans.
What are you doing here? Saving your life.
- What the fuck were you thinking? - What? I'm - You're a bizzie.
- What, they know? - 'Course they fucking do! - Fucking hell! You're all right.
They won't hurt you.
Why's that? 'Cos you're my mate.
Where's the gear, Chris? Chris? Fuck.
Here you are.
You get the money? - Walk away.
- Aw, mate, you're taking the piss.
I'll box you off for a few bob when this is all over, but come on, there's no way you're getting 30 grand off these lads.
You're fucking killing me, mate.
Get back in the car and go home, mate.
Mate, I need this.
All right.
You think you do, but you don't.
Honest to God.
You're dodging a bullet and a half, gizz it.
Is that a threat? Not from big lad, from them, come on.
Fucking wake up, lad.
Chris.
That the bizzie? Dirty fucking rat.
Yeah, we got it.
Hang on.
Yeah, looks like it.
Marcus is just testing it.
Just a second.
Try it.
Marcus is asking him to sample it.
[SNORTS.]
Oh! What the fuck is that, lad? Washing powder.
What have you done? [THEY CHUCKLE.]
I swear down, I didn't know.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh! What the fuck.
Fucking hell, lad.
