Thank God for that.
The hat on the table was the best bit.
I liked the medals.
What have I got to do to get all those medals like that? Probably got to win a war or something Sorry.
Sorry, mate.
I wish he'd have warned me he was going to do that.
Don't take it personally.
It's all right.
He was uniform, though, you know.
Did his time.
Now he's driving a Merc.
The rest of these will be stuck in Panda cars till they retire.
- We don't drive Panda cars any more.
- It was a figure of speech.
Any patrol, please, for an immediate graded call to Roedale allotments, man seen with a sword Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero.
Show us state five to that call, over.
You wanna take the Rolls or are you all right in the usual car? Getting busy already.

Kilo Two Three Zero, show us State six, over.
- Are you the one who called us, madam? - Yes.
They've taken my van! Can you give us a description of your vehicle and the men who took it? Look! It's bloody there! Think there's a way of doing this without looking ridiculous? Er I'll try and cut them off.
Ah! Cut the engine Lads Cut the engine Get out of the vehicle.
Cut the engine.
- You two -- out! - We was going to give it back.
Was you? Well, we'll never know now, will we? Come on, you as well.
Come on, mate.
What are you waiting for? Let's go.
Can't you do something a little bit more interesting with your study leave? You haven't got any drugs on you or anything like that, have you? This your idea of fun, is it? You OK? You look like you sprained your arse back there.
Oh, she's a physiotherapist as well, now, is she? Another string to your bow! Just checking.
Let me know if you want it kissed better.
Hey Workplace harassment.
Shame on you! Get down! Shut up! What do you want? Shut up! Wrong house.
- Sure? - Yeah.
Oh, mate.
Leave the paper cut alone, will you? What do you mean? I took on a guy with a samurai sword.
I'm basically a warrior.
Warrior? Hello? Jake, it's Dad.
Just a quick one.
I am just trying to find out when you are working till tonight.
I'm on call so I'm wondering if you could check in on Mum.
Yeah, I'm on lates but I can go in and check on her when I get back.
OK.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I heard you had a bit of a run-in earlier? It was nothing.
Just a guy with a really big sword.
We dealt with him.
Well, I hope you're not in too many pieces right now.
You know, the trick when someone has a weapon like that is to use it to your advantage -- wait for them to swing, and when they're off balance and vulnerable, you knock them down.
- Use their own body weight against them.
- OK, nice one.
Um how did my video briefing go down this morning? Video briefing Yeah, it was good.
It was terrible then, yeah? Morale is at an all-time high, Dad.
You really rallied the troops.
Yeah, right I'm hanging up now.
Good luck tonight.
- Afternoon.
- Afternoon.
What's that smell? Cadaverous, isn't it? The neighbours said the smell's been there all week.
They thought it was a drain somewhere - but it's been getting worse.
- Who owns it? The Mason family own it, but they're away at the moment.
They've got a gite in the Dordogne.
They've got a house in France.
Oh, second shed we've had to break into today.
This "shed" is worth £13,000.
It's going to be a lot less in a minute.
Step back, please.
Are you going to kick it in? Actually, why don't you take this one, warrior? Yeah, all right.
Belt's still round the arm.
Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero.
We have a drugs death at the beach hut.
Request CID to come down and confirm, over.
- Are you all right? - Yeah.
Can you think of anyone who would want to scare you? - Anyone who would want to send a message? - No We haven't any enemies.
We're just normal.
Hello.
South Sussex Properties.
How can I help? Yes, I'm just calling to enquire about the house on Leckford Road, Patcham? - Of course.
Just a moment.
- Thank you.
I'm afraid we don't have any properties on that road at present.
Don't worry.
My mistake.
There was fertiliser, lamps consistent with a cannabis farm.
Rival gang tried to turn it over, - ended up in the neighbour's by mistake.
- That's unfortunate.
Perhaps not.
If I can just get a RIPA, I can do a raid.
On the right house, I assume.
Yes, sir.
You're 100% it's a farm? Fly-by with a helicopter and a heat sensor could confirm it.
I can get you a walk-by with a drugs dog.
That'll do.
Thank you, sir.
- Dawn raid it is, then? - Yes.
Enjoy your lie-in.
I'm off.
- DC Hawkins.
- Hi Carl.
- Fiona Glendon.
- Licensing committee.
Nice to meet you So shall we, er Shall we head in? Erm, we don't actually go into the stadium.
How do we watch the dogs, then? Budget cuts.
Sorry.
Stadium has got a bar.
I'll remember that I owe you a drink.
Er, here's our suspect.
Remember Betty.
Technically, the dog is not the suspect.
- Of course.
- Not unless she's got prior convictions.
Er, no.
But she has come last in her previous four races.
So if she wins this one I'd start arresting people.
Assuming I can leg it back to the stadium before they all leave.
I'm sure it won't be much of a problem.
You seem pretty fit to me.
Do you remember the first time you threw up on the job? I'll let you know when it happens.
- Evening, Sarge.
- Evening.
Well.
She's definitely dead.
You were right to call.
- We do what we can.
- Any ID on her? All right we'll have to see if CSI can get a DNA match.
I'll need the syringe and the crime scene photos as well.
And I will try and get hold of any next of kin on Monday.
Oh, hello Who threw up? It was one of the rubberneckers.
That'll teach them.
Do you know there's waiting lists to get in one of these, you know? What a way to go, eh? - Anyway, that's me done.
- Have a good weekend, Sarge.
- You too.
'And as they approach the final bend' Bloody hell! What did she do, swallow a rocket? In a manner of speaking.
Whisky November Two One Seven.
Hope you had a bet on that.
I'm heading to pick up the owner.
Have uniform meet me en route, over.
Right, I, er See you in a mo.
- Good girl Good girl.
- Jason Lyle? - Yeah.
- Hiya, mate.
I just wanted to come and congratulate you and furry Lance Armstrong here.
PC Carl Hawkins.
Oh, come on Lads! Cover the gate.
Cover the gate.
What? She had a good race! Come on, mate.
She nearly broke the land speed record.
At least make it look believable.
Jason Lyle, I am arresting you on suspicion of committing an offence under section 42 of the Gambling Act.
What did he give her? Cocaine, most likely.
What does a greyhound look like on a come-down? You might find out.
The kennels are full so we're going to plonk her at your station, see if you've got any space there.
I always wanted a dog.
I doubt anyone would put up much of a fight if you wanted to take her home.
Speaking of How about that drink? I can't.
No? No.
Shame.
Maybe see you at the next one.
Just out of interest.
Why Remember Betty? I named her after an ex-wife.
Another mad bitch who lost me all my money.
'Kilo Two Three Zero, respond 'to a fight in progress on Ship Street.
' Kilo Two Three Zero, state 5, over.

Lead the way.
- Why did you call them? - What's your name, love? Bethany.
- You're a grass, mate.
- Right, Bethany.
We've been told you assaulted one of the staff, so what we're going to do is take you outside.
It's a bit loud in here, isn't it? And we'll go and have a chat about it, OK? Look, this is stupid, yeah? I gave the barmaid a £10 note and she gave me change for a 20.
I gave her a £20 note and she gave me change for a 10, which is technically theft, so you should be arresting them.
OK, let's go outside and have a chat about it.
OK? Where are we going? We are going to pop into the station.
What? No.
I can't go there.
Unfortunately you haven't got much choice now.
Lino? - Just Look, put that down.
- Piss off! Leave me alone, you fat pig.
Just put that down Right! I'm not going to tell you again.
Put the shoe down.
Let's get her out of here before there's a bloody riot.
My eyes hurt, you nonce! You're going to be so sorry you did this.
My dad's a detective.
He's going to kill you.
He's going to kill you! What a charming young lady.
She stabbed Lino with a shoe.
But not without her merits.
Sarge This is Jason Lyle, arrested on suspicion of committing an offence under Section 42 of the Gambling Act.
- Let me out! - Saturday night.
You have no idea.
Let me out of this cell right now! - Lino had to pepper spray her.
- That must have been satisfying.
A little bit.
I want my dad down here! I want my dad.
He's a cop.
He's a cop and he's going to arrest you.
Keep it down in there, will you?! - Let me out! - That's Bethany.
That's my daughter.
Detective Carl, you can't go and see her.
You know you can't.
- Shut up.
- My eyes hurt.
Beth? My eyes hurt! You pepper sprayed my daughter.
- She had a shoe - She's got size three feet.

- Did he? - Yeah.

I'm looking into this.
- Now! - Yes.
Sit down! I had a greyhound called Bethany once.

A couple had let their drinking get out of control.
They'd forgotten about the kids.
There was a baby.
I thought I was ready for it, but I wasn't.
It happens to everyone.
Do you think that if I shut my eyes and pretended everything outside this room didn't exist .

Why do you have a dog? I was going to take her in.

Not from the man he works for.
You're wrong.
Tell him he's wrong.
He says, "What happens if you try and arrest him and he gets away? "What happens to my family then?" The safest thing for you and your family is for him to be behind bars.
I can put him there, but I need your help.

Kennels took her.
Waifs and strays, love.
Waifs and strays.
I've got to take you to social care.
Come on.
- Jake, I want to talk.
- I don't think that's a good idea.
Why not? Because if we start talking, I might tell you how little I think about you.
I might tell you how pathetic I think you are.
I might tell you how everyone at the station laughs at you, how they don't respect you and how neither do I, so I don't think it's a good idea.
And you were right, by the way, about the whole self-defence thing.
Wait till someone's vulnerable, then knock them down.
Good advice, Dad.
What's the matter? Why are you crying? It's over now.
Stay here.
I always envy other people.
They all seem to walk around in this blissful ignorance .
.
perfectly content with the world .
.
but you know the truth, don't you? 'You know that the greatest lie 'adults tell children is that '.
.
everything's going to be OK, 'that good always triumphs evil '.
.
that things will be all right in the end.
' 'Parents tell you you're safe in your bed, 'and, when you wake up, the world will be just as you left it.
'Truth is '.
.
if you added it all up at the end, 'you'd probably see it's just as much bad as it is good.
' 'We are not in control of our own destinies.
'All we can do is '.
.
hang on.
' 'Hope that everything we love doesn't get taken away from us.
' Life is tough.
'Mean.
'Unfair.
'If I'm honest, I don't know if you're going to be OK.
' I don't That's the truth.
But I hope you keep hanging on.
I hope you make a go of it.
This is presumptuous.
No, it's not.

- Yes, you do.
Can I have a word? Put that down, right now.
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! - Do you want a hug? Or would that be weird? - A bit.
You can't keep ignoring me.
This is not your battle to fight.
No, you're not sure, or no, it isn't a complete waste of time? - Er - Just turn it on, will you?! Go! Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Let me know if you want it kissed better.
Hey Workplace harassment.
Shame on you! Get down! Shut up! What do you want? Shut up! Wrong house.
- Sure? - Yeah.
Oh, mate.
Leave the paper cut alone, will you? What do you mean? I took on a guy with a samurai sword.
I'm basically a warrior.
Warrior? Hello? Jake, it's Dad.
Just a quick one.
I am just trying to find out when you are working till tonight.
I'm on call so I'm wondering if you could check in on Mum.
Yeah, I'm on lates but I can go in and check on her when I get back.
OK.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I heard you had a bit of a run-in earlier? It was nothing.
Just a guy with a really big sword.
We dealt with him.
Well, I hope you're not in too many pieces right now.
You know, the trick when someone has a weapon like that is to use it to your advantage -- wait for them to swing, and when they're off balance and vulnerable, you knock them down.
- Use their own body weight against them.
- OK, nice one.
Um how did my video briefing go down this morning? Video briefing Yeah, it was good.
It was terrible then, yeah? Morale is at an all-time high, Dad.
You really rallied the troops.
Yeah, right I'm hanging up now.
Good luck tonight.
- Afternoon.
- Afternoon.
What's that smell? Cadaverous, isn't it? The neighbours said the smell's been there all week.
They thought it was a drain somewhere - but it's been getting worse.
- Who owns it? The Mason family own it, but they're away at the moment.
They've got a gite in the Dordogne.
They've got a house in France.
Oh, second shed we've had to break into today.
This "shed" is worth £13,000.
It's going to be a lot less in a minute.
Step back, please.
Are you going to kick it in? Actually, why don't you take this one, warrior? Yeah, all right.
Belt's still round the arm.
Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero.
We have a drugs death at the beach hut.
Request CID to come down and confirm, over.
- Are you all right? - Yeah.
Can you think of anyone who would want to scare you? - Anyone who would want to send a message? - No We haven't any enemies.
We're just normal.
Hello.
South Sussex Properties.
How can I help? Yes, I'm just calling to enquire about the house on Leckford Road, Patcham? - Of course.
Just a moment.
- Thank you.
I'm afraid we don't have any properties on that road at present.
Don't worry.
My mistake.
There was fertiliser, lamps consistent with a cannabis farm.
Rival gang tried to turn it over, - ended up in the neighbour's by mistake.
- That's unfortunate.
Perhaps not.
If I can just get a RIPA, I can do a raid.
On the right house, I assume.
Yes, sir.
You're 100% it's a farm? Fly-by with a helicopter and a heat sensor could confirm it.
I can get you a walk-by with a drugs dog.
That'll do.
Thank you, sir.
- Dawn raid it is, then? - Yes.
Enjoy your lie-in.
I'm off.
- DC Hawkins.
- Hi Carl.
- Fiona Glendon.
- Licensing committee.
Nice to meet you So shall we, er Shall we head in? Erm, we don't actually go into the stadium.
How do we watch the dogs, then? Budget cuts.
Sorry.
Stadium has got a bar.
I'll remember that I owe you a drink.
Er, here's our suspect.
Remember Betty.
Technically, the dog is not the suspect.
- Of course.
- Not unless she's got prior convictions.
Er, no.
But she has come last in her previous four races.
So if she wins this one I'd start arresting people.
Assuming I can leg it back to the stadium before they all leave.
I'm sure it won't be much of a problem.
You seem pretty fit to me.
Do you remember the first time you threw up on the job? I'll let you know when it happens.
- Evening, Sarge.
- Evening.
Well.
She's definitely dead.
You were right to call.
- We do what we can.
- Any ID on her? All right we'll have to see if CSI can get a DNA match.
I'll need the syringe and the crime scene photos as well.
And I will try and get hold of any next of kin on Monday.
Oh, hello Who threw up? It was one of the rubberneckers.
That'll teach them.
Do you know there's waiting lists to get in one of these, you know? What a way to go, eh? - Anyway, that's me done.
- Have a good weekend, Sarge.
- You too.
'And as they approach the final bend' Bloody hell! What did she do, swallow a rocket? In a manner of speaking.
Whisky November Two One Seven.
Hope you had a bet on that.
I'm heading to pick up the owner.
Have uniform meet me en route, over.
Right, I, er See you in a mo.
- Good girl Good girl.
- Jason Lyle? - Yeah.
- Hiya, mate.
I just wanted to come and congratulate you and furry Lance Armstrong here.
PC Carl Hawkins.
Oh, come on Lads! Cover the gate.
Cover the gate.
What? She had a good race! Come on, mate.
She nearly broke the land speed record.
At least make it look believable.
Jason Lyle, I am arresting you on suspicion of committing an offence under section 42 of the Gambling Act.
What did he give her? Cocaine, most likely.
What does a greyhound look like on a come-down? You might find out.
The kennels are full so we're going to plonk her at your station, see if you've got any space there.
I always wanted a dog.
I doubt anyone would put up much of a fight if you wanted to take her home.
Speaking of How about that drink? I can't.
No? No.
Shame.
Maybe see you at the next one.
Just out of interest.
Why Remember Betty? I named her after an ex-wife.
Another mad bitch who lost me all my money.

- Right, Bethany.
We've been told you assaulted one of the staff, so what we're going to do is take you outside.
It's a bit loud in here, isn't it? And we'll go and have a chat about it, OK? Look, this is stupid, yeah? I gave the barmaid a £10 note and she gave me change for a 20.
I gave her a £20 note and she gave me change for a 10, which is technically theft, so you should be arresting them.
OK, let's go outside and have a chat about it.
OK? Where are we going? We are going to pop into the station.
What? No.
I can't go there.
Unfortunately you haven't got much choice now.
Lino? - Just Look, put that down.
- Piss off! Leave me alone, you fat pig.
Just put that down Right! I'm not going to tell you again.
Put the shoe down.
Let's get her out of here before there's a bloody riot.
My eyes hurt, you nonce! You're going to be so sorry you did this.
My dad's a detective.
He's going to kill you.
He's going to kill you! What a charming young lady.
She stabbed Lino with a shoe.
But not without her merits.
Sarge This is Jason Lyle, arrested on suspicion of committing an offence under Section 42 of the Gambling Act.
- Let me out! - Saturday night.
You have no idea.
Let me out of this cell right now! - Lino had to pepper spray her.

Keep it down in there, will you?! - Let me out! - That's Bethany.

Why not? Because if we start talking, I might tell you how little I think about you.
I might tell you how pathetic I think you are.
I might tell you how everyone at the station laughs at you, how they don't respect you and how neither do I, so I don't think it's a good idea.
And you were right, by the way, about the whole self-defence thing.
Wait till someone's vulnerable, then knock them down.
Good advice, Dad.
What's the matter? Why are you crying? It's over now.
