Morning, sir.

[RADIO CHATTER]
- Hi.
- Just round to the left.
Thanks. Thanks.
- RIDLEY: Carol.
- Ah. Ridley.
Thanks for coming at such short notice.
I'm really up against it, mate.
Yeah. No worries, no worries.
So what have we got?
Uh, a man shot dead
at an underground rave.
His name's Oliver Grant, age 26.
He's a CFO at a property developers,
Grant Construction and Development.
The body's in the cellar.
Let's take a look.
Well, judging by the excess blood,
the bullet struck the thoracic cavity.
CAROL: Do we have an
approximate time of death?
Um, rigor mortis places it
between midnight and 3 a.m.
What about a murder weapon?
- Nothing.
- Hmm.
So this is all his development?
Yes, and it looks like
someone had the idea
of turning it into a rave.
[CLAP ECHOES]
No one heard the gunshot?
Well, from down here,
it's likely the sound
of a gunshot would have been muted.
Right.
I mean, wearing all this gear,
he must have stuck out
like a sore thumb.
We found his wallet full of cash
and his credit card, all untouched.
CAROL: So that rules out a robbery then?
Was it targeted?
Well
the evidence suggests
he put up a struggle.
Now, once we run a postmortem,
the torn shirt might give us
some more clues about
what happened to him.
We also found these drugs.
They've got a distinct
green frog logo on them.
One of the ravers had them.
They change all the time.
Run them through the database.
Hmm.
Poor lad.
We've detained the partygoer
who found the body.
He's in possession of Class A drugs.
Great. Can answer a few
questions at the station.
Anything else we found out?
Ravers were mostly from the local uni.
It was an underground rave
pre-arranged on social media.
Right. Have we identified the organizer?
Still looking into it,
but the parties have
been going on for months
in building sites in the area.
It must be a nightmare
for the developers.
Let's interview them,
see if we can find out
who the organizer is.
So the question is
did Oliver Grant attempt
to shut down this rave,
and then was killed in the process?
Possibly.
Next of kin?
Well, it's a family business.
Sarita Grant is the CEO,
and mother of the deceased.
OK.
♪
CAROL: I'm so sorry we have to ask you
questions at such a difficult time.
Why did Oliver leave
the engagement party early?
AMELIA: Ahem. He had a phone call.
RIDLEY: Right, and do we
know who made the call, or
He just said it was work
and that he'd be back.
Work? Right.
So he didn't mention he was going to one
of his development sites?
MAN: No.
CAROL: What time did he leave?
It was around 11ish.
RIDLEY: And how did he leave?
Did he drive his car?
Did he take a cab, or
SARITA: He went in his new car,
uh, a gift for his recent promotion.
CAROL: And when Oliver didn't come back
to his engagement party,
did you call anyone?
I just waited up for him
most of the night.
MAN: And I was calling him nonstop.
We were worried.
Was it unusual for him
to leave late like that?
No. Heh. Not at all.
Well, he usually is out working late,
but when I woke up the next day
and he wasn't there, I panicked,
and I knew something was wrong.
CAROL: What did Oliver do
at the company, Mrs. Grant?
He was in charge of the new
property developments.
We specialize in commercial renovations
in underdeveloped areas.
And can I ask you what position
you promoted him to?
He was to take over
from me as the new CEO.
CAROL: Ah.
And, Mrs. Grant, if it's OK with you,
we're gonna need to
confirm Oliver's phone number.
It will just help us
track down who it was
that called him away.
SARITA: Yes. Of course.
CAROL: Thank you.
SARITA: I have his number
♪
So do you know anything about these
underground raves at building sites?
I just heard they gave us
developers a lot of headaches.
I recommended we hire
security at our sites.
So why didn't that happen?
Because that decision
is not mine to make.
That was left to Oliver and my mum,
but anyway, Amelia,
myself, and my mother
are all upset.
- We'd appreciate the space to grieve.
- Yeah.
If you have any pressing questions,
please get in touch.
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
Thanks for your time.
♪
It's funny, isn't it?
The family said they were worried,
but why didn't they call the police?
Hmm. Seems strange they didn't.
You know, there's hardly any photographs
of Lewis in there.
I noticed. Oliver seemed
to take center stage.
Well, whoever organized
that underground rave,
let's start by tracking them down.
Good idea.
[CAR LOCK BEEPS]
CAROL: OK, Charlie.
Do you want to tell us
why we found a pharmacy full
of Class A drugs on you?
I can't believe I'm gonna
get a criminal record.
How much trouble am I in?
Well, that depends on
how truthful you are.
Now, what were you doing
on that lower floor?
You knew the body of Oliver Grant
this man was down there, didn't you?
No, I I swear I didn't.
I was just walking around,
looking for my phone, I promise.
OK. Well, do you want to tell us
how you ended up there?
Uh,
through a notification on my socials.
From who?
An account tagged @GlowUpGirlxx.
CAROL: OK, so who is GlowUpGirlxx?
I don't know. It could be anyone.
It's just the person
who sets up the parties.
Charlie, let me level with you, mate.
Possession of Class A drugs is
a chargeable offense, right,
but since you don't
have a criminal record,
you might be looking at a caution,
maybe even a warning.
Now tell us, who are the dealers
that sold you the drugs?
I don't know them.
They weren't uni students.
I just remember hearing
something about a a go kart track.
♪
CAROL: So, Oliver Grant,
CFO of family-run
Grant Construction and Development,
received a phone call and leaves
his engagement dinner early
and then turns up dead
at an underground rave
on one of his own sites.
GOODWIN: Have we been able
to identify who called Oliver?
What do we have on his phone records?
DARREN: The call logs on his phone show
the number was a pay-as-you-go phone.
Which means we'll have
to explore other avenues
to find out who called him.
So, Oliver learns his business
is being targeted.
Why didn't he call the police?
Well, I mean, it's not
good for your reputation
to have an illegal rave
on your business premises,
so he probably thought,
"I don't want this getting out,
so I'll go down and confront
these people myself."
CAROL: Which brings us
to our next question.
Who did Oliver run into?
Now, based on these pills
that we found at the site
with a distinct frog logo on them,
we're potentially looking
at a set of drug dealers
that might have been
operating there that night.
We've run the logo through
other intelligence units.
They've located similar
pills with the same logo
in the Manchester area.
Any names of known dealers
come to the surface?
No.
But the straggler we interviewed
Charlie talked about a go kart track.
We're looking into it.
CAROL: Which brings us back
to the phone call
that Oliver received.
Was it an associate
that was trying to warn him about
the underground rave?
Where are we with the social media
account that organized the rave?
Well, we've identified the organizer.
Online, she's known as GlowUpGirlxx,
but when tracing her profile back
through tagged photos
and associated accounts,
it looks like it could be this person
Ava Tunstall.
CAROL: She's a model and
social media influencer.
She got thousands of followers online.
Anything on the national database?
No criminal history.
But, seeing as she's the one that's
organized the underground rave,
the least she can do is answer some
questions
that we have about Oliver.
Let's pay her a visit.
So what's all this about?
CAROL: Ava, listen.
We know that you've been using
a social media handle to organize
illegal underground raves
up and down the area
in dangerous building sites.
Yeah, like the one last night,
where Oliver Grant was found dead.
♪
He's dead?
Yeah.
Surely you knew.
Well, then we're sorry,
but he was found dead this morning.
♪
Ava, it would really help
us if you told us
everything you know.
Why don't you start
by telling us what you saw
when Oliver came to shut down the rave?
I didn't even know Oliver was there.
OK. Well, if you didn't see him there,
was there anyone else
involved in setting up the rave,
someone who Oliver might have approached
to shut it down?
No, there isn't.
It's just me who organizes it all.
So how well did you know Oliver?
Not that well.
I met him when I did photoshoots,
for his company brochure.
We'll need to know about the people
who attended the rave.
Yeah,
most of the people that came follow
my Snap feed.
I can give you the names and profiles.
I organized the rave for fun.
I had no idea it would end up like this.
You ever seen anything like this before?
No. I stay away from drugs.
Yeah, but you organize these parties.
I mean, surely you've seen
people handing out drugs.
I can't control what
people do on a night out.
Oliver received a call
before he arrived at the rave.
Is there anyone else there who
might have known him?
Not that I know of.
I don't know how he
found out about the rave.
If I had seen him,
I would have shut it down immediately.
RIDLEY: So, it looks like
Oliver didn't go to shut
that rave down after all.
Yeah. So why was he there
in the first place?
I mean, maybe he knew
about the rave already.
Yeah, well, whatever his excuse was,
it was good enough to leave
his own engagement party.
She's got a pretty bougie
city center apartment.
I mean, it must have cost a fortune.
I reckon her kitchen counter
must have cost more
than my annual salary.
Yeah, well, being an influencer
certainly makes you a lot of
dough these days, it seems.
You fancy a coffee?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Thank you.
All good?
Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.
Sort of.
What's the story?
Uh
Jack.
Geri's worried he's grown a bit distant.
Yeah. What do you think?
Just as worried, I guess.
It's been a tough year for him.
Yeah, yeah, it has.
The new baby,
what happened last year,
the hostage situation.
It's affected him, I know.
I tried to talk to him about it.
Well, as luck would have it,
I need to do a bit of work on the boat,
so I could ask him to give me a hand
and have a word with him, you know?
Yeah.
Thanks.
WENDY: The propellant residue
on the deceased's clothing
shows that he was shot
at very close range.
Now, we also recovered
a 9-millimeter casing
at the scene that matched
the bullet found in the deceased.
The Fingerprint Bureau report came back
as showing no marks of value,
but we're working on a DNA sample.
Good. Direct over circumstantial.
Now, his toxicology report.
We detected near-fatal levels of cocaine
in his system at time of death,
1.5 grams over normal overdose levels.
So he had a high cocaine tolerance.
Mm-hmm. We checked
his nasal cartilage lining.
His sinuses were in early
stage septal perforation.
Now, that means heavy long-term use.
Looks like our golden boy Oliver
might not be the clean-cut businessman
his friends and family
would like to think.
♪
AMELIA: I still can't
believe Oliver's dead.
Amelia, what did you know
about Oliver's drug addiction?
RIDLEY: And why didn't you
mention it when we questioned you?
I'm sorry. I tried.
I I wanted to tell you.
Yeah, but you were scared of
what Sarita might think, yeah?
She interrupted you, I noticed.
She knew about Oliver's addiction, too.
She just
never wanted us talking about it.
But why would Sarita
promote Oliver to CEO
if she knew he was
struggling with an addiction?
Uh, I think she believed that she could
pull him back from the brink,
that if Oliver focused more on his work
and our relationship,
he would turn his life around
because
AMELIA: Well, things were
really bad when he relapsed.
Did you confront him about it?
It it's not right,
but my my suspicions
got the better of me,
and I searched through his things.
I found pills and
cocaine wraps in his coat.
I took the picture to show him.
I didn't want him to deny it.
And did you mention it to anyone else,
Lewis, Sarita?
Sarita couldn't accept the fact
that she couldn't help him, so
that's why I told Lewis instead.
So what happened?
He promised he'd help Oliver
get back into rehab
but instead, he tried to force Oliver
to quit the company, or he'd expose
his drug problems to all
of their clients,
tarnishing his reputation.
Right. So what happened
between the brothers?
Oliver stood up to him.
Uh, they had a fight about it.
That's what Oliver told me.
And did this happen before
or after Oliver's promotion?
Uh, it was right after
Sarita told the boys
that she was making Oliver
CEO of the company.
So Lewis was upset that his brother
got promoted over him.
I just thought that Lewis would help,
not use Oliver's problems
for his own gain.
♪
BOY: What do you mean, nothing?
What planet on you are on?
RIDLEY: Hey, Jack.
Oh. See you.
How you doing, mate?
Mum sent you, didn't she?
No.
Yeah. She's worrying for nothing.
Just finished college early.
I was hanging out with some mates.
Yeah, yeah. No. I I get it, I get it.
Actually, no,
I came to ask you a favor, actually.
Yeah? What?
Well, I'm working on the boat.
I'm stripping an engine.
It's a two-man job.
I thought you might be able
to give me a hand, you know?
What's it worth?
Ha! It's worth about 40 quid.
How does that sound?
- Yeah. Sounds good.
- Heh heh.
Great. I'll give you a shout.
Yeah, yeah.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Yes, Darren.
- DARREN: Ridley.
- Go ahead.
Can you come in? We've got a lead.
On me way.
CAROL: This is Oliver's car
caught on the day of his murder.
- Time of day?
- DARREN: The morning.
But here's the really interesting thing.
It pinged a go kart track,
the only one in the area,
which is also
a known drugs pickup point.
And do we know who the current owner is?
I did some digging.
The duty manager is a Matt Brandon.
[GO KART ENGINES REVVING]
CAROL: Matt Brandon?
Yeah, that's me.
[INDISTINCT], yeah?
Hi. I'm Detective Inspector
Carol Farman.
All right. What's all this about, then?
We've just got a couple of questions,
for you, mate.
Yeah, sure. How can I help?
We're just wondering if you
know of an Oliver Grant.
Uh sorry, but the name
doesn't really ring a bell.
RIDLEY: Yeah.
He was found murdered yesterday morning.
Yeah, and his car was tagged here
at the racetrack
on the day of the murder.
Bloody hell. He was here?
Well, I'll do what
I can to help, of course.
There was also reports of illegal drugs
being found here.
Do you know anything about that?
Well, I've seen a bit
of weed changing hands
between the youngsters,
but nothing more than that.
When I've caught them at it,
I've taken it off them straightaway.
From Manchester, aren't you?
I am originally.
Yeah. So what brought you up here,
this line of work?
I've always wanted to
give back to the kids,
keep them out of trouble.
I bet you I've got the best
outreach program in the area.
Free go-karting for kids to give them
somewhere positive to hang out.
Where were you two nights ago?
I don't suppose you happened to be
at an underground rave in a development
in Allerton, did you?
Heh heh. Uh, maybe if
I was 10 years younger,
that might sound appealing,
but, uh, no, I wasn't.
I want to help you,
but I I don't think I can.
- Sorry.
- No worries.
Well, uh, if anything comes to mind,
that's where you can reach me.
Right.
[DOOR SHUTS]
WENDY: Carol.
We got the DNA test results back
- on the bullet casing.
- Ah.
They initially matched
the deceased's DNA profile.
Oliver loaded the gun?
Well, at first, that was my thinking,
but we ran some further tests.
The markers only match Oliver by 55%.
My conclusion was the DNA we found
belonged to a close relative,
a sibling over a parent
being the higher probability,
so we ran it through
the national database
and made a match.
Lewis had a previous conviction
for drunk driving.
Looks like we need to bring
Lewis in for questioning.
Thanks.
JACK: Nah. No, I wouldn't.
I mean it. It's fine.
Don't worry. I've got a plan.
♪
Right, Lewis.
I'd start talking, or you'll end up
being arrested for murder.
The DNA on that bullet casing
that killed your brother is yours.
Which means you most
certainly handled the gun
that killed Oliver.
No. You're wrong.
You can't lie your way
out of forensics, mate.
Also, you didn't tell us
about Oliver's drug problems,
important information that
could have led us to his killer.
I mean, that does not look good.
The truth getting out is a disaster,
for us financially,
but I had to help him.
Oliver was in trouble.
What trouble?
It was that call he got
at the engagement party.
He said he needed
to stand up to someone.
- Who?
- I don't know.
He hangs around with a rough crowd.
OK. So what did you do?
Where did you get the gun from?
I took it from the house.
It's a World War II Browning,
a family heirloom.
And where is that gun now?
I don't know.
So what happened next?
I agreed to go with him to the rave
to make sure he'd be safe.
So you were there?
N-no, I didn't stay.
He didn't want me to.
Right. Let me get this straight.
You went with Oliver to the rave,
but you returned in his car on your own?
I drove home, I waited,
but I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I found out he was dead.
I didn't kill my brother.
I was just trying to help him.
♪
CAROL: So we have Lewis'
DNA on the bullet casing
that killed his brother.
I mean, I think we have
enough to make an arrest.
Yeah, but we don't have a murder weapon.
CPS will throw this out.
We have great hard evidence,
but we need more.
We have to release him
until we find that weapon
and make this case
against Lewis watertight.
Fine. Then in the meantime,
we should start looking
into the Grant Company accounts.
- Do it.
- Boss.

Fancy a shot?
Thought you'd never ask.
So why are you here so late?
Oh, don't ask, mate. Don't ask.
Just stuff.
Mmm. Well, I'm
I'm glad that you're here.
I've just been getting through
that search that you requested.
I've done a second sweep of
all the social media accounts
that attended the underground rave.
Right. Did you find anything?
Well, you were looking for a white male,
late teens, early 20s
with the abbreviations
on the name Jordan.
Yeah.
Take a look at what I found.
I found someone with
the handle @Jayboyking17.
Oh, right. There he is.
Large as life and twice as big.
Wait. There's more.
There's, um, video content.
All right.

You know, your mum's worried about you.
That why she's always on my back
about my mates, eh?
Yeah.
You been through a lot, Jack, you know.
I mean, all that
Flannery incident and stuff.
I'm over it.
I was a kid back then.
There was something else I
wanted to talk to you about.
I want to ask you
about an underground rave
at a construction site.
What about it?
Well, I have seen a video taken
at that rave, and you're in it
and also at that rave,
there was a young man
called Oliver Grant, who was shot dead.
Did you know him?
No.
Did your mate Jordan know him?
Don't know.
Jordan was with you
that night, wasn't he?
He asked me to come.
Yeah. Well, now I know he's your friend,
but we need to speak to him.
Do you know where I can find him?
He's up in Manchester.
Do you know when he's coming back?
Was meant to meet him later today, yeah.
Whereabouts?
Copelton bus station.
Thanks, Jack. Appreciate that.
Sling all this stuff back in the hold.
I'll go and get us some lunch.
Are you gonna tell my mum?
Yeah, I'm gonna have to,
but don't worry.
You done good.
♪
Oh, that video.
I mean, what was he doing there
with a bunch of druggies?
Yeah, I know, I know, but Jack was good.
He answered all my questions,
and the positive thing is we
can now concentrate on Jordan.
Why didn't you come to me first?
I'm doing you a favor, Carol.
We're trying to keep the
lad out of the investigation.
Right. Let's see what
Goodwin has to say about it.
Yeah.
GOODWIN: Well, I'm not
entirely convinced.
No. I mean, look.
We can locate Jordan at the rave,
and I also saw him at the track.
Carol, with Jack being
at the rave and being
with a person of interest,
we might have a predicament
on our hands.
No, no, no. Honestly,
I think we can safely keep Jack
out of our investigation.
He was one of a number of attendees.
I interviewed him myself,
and in fact, Jack moved
our investigation along.
Let's bring Jordan in,
see what we can get from him.
What else do we have on him?
Well, Oliver's car was
tagged at the racetrack
on the morning of the murder,
and there's been rumor
that it's a base for drugs,
and we know that Jordan
has been hanging out there a lot.
Yeah. Add to that, his trips,
regular trips up to Manchester.
He's there and back every week.
We could be looking at a
county lines gang on our hands.
Yeah, and according to Jack,
he's on a bus this afternoon.
Yeah, and there's only one
that's gonna get in
before 6 p.m.
from Manchester city center,
so if we're lucky, we can intercept him.

we need a word with you.

Said no, mate!
Assaulting a police officer.
Jordan King, I'm arresting you
for assaulting a police officer.
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense
if you don't mention
when questioned something
which you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be
given in evidence.
Let's see what we got here.
♪
Oh.
You have a lot to answer for.
Take him to the station.
With the half kilo of cocaine
and the Ecstasy pills that we found
in your possession,
even as a young offender,
it is not looking good for you, mate.
Now come on, tell us.
How do you know Oliver Grant?
I don't.
Well, you're his dealer, aren't you?
I mean, it's your phone
that's the burner phone
that connects you both,
and you're on
his call log on the morning
and the evening of his murder.
What are those communications about?
Jordan, I'm reading
through your file here,
and it breaks my heart.
You've got multiple arrests
for drug possession
with intent to supply.
You've been in and out
of care homes your whole life.
You've been reported missing
from your foster home in Manchester.
I mean, what is going on?
Talk to us.
RIDLEY: You're a runaway, Jordan.
You're not living at home.
You're vulnerable.
The courts will take
all that into account.
It was you who called
Oliver that night, wasn't it?
And after you called him,
that's when he decided
to go to the rave, isn't it?
So tell us, what do you know, Jordan?
Who made you make that call?
It were Matt.
Matt? Matt Brandon,
the duty manager of the go kart track?
That's who you work for, isn't it?
Yeah.
OK.
So why did Matt make you call Oliver?
He were angry about the money.
He said he wanted to do him in, but
I never saw Oliver at the rave.
The last time I saw him
were that morning.
Jack, I need you to know that I was
only trying to help.
How? Jordan was my friend.
He's not your friend, Jack. Wake up.
You got him locked up!
Jack, just calm down.
Why? This is what you both
wanted all along.
Trust me. We've only been thinking
about what's good for you.
You went after him with
all that stuff I told Ridley.
Well, what did you think
we were gonna do
with that information, Jack?
Don't be so naive.
JACK: Don't even want to talk to you.
GERI: Hey. Apologize now, Jack.
Do you have any idea how
worried we are about you?
Getting mixed up with criminals
who are running a county line.
I mean, what has happened to you?
What's happened to me is
I had a gun to my face
and nearly died.
Where were you?
You were supposed to be there for me.
I tried to be there for you,
but you won't let me in.
How am I gonna let you in
when I'm invisible to you?
You pretend to care, yeah,
but you're so wrapped up in your work
and the baby,
you don't even see I'm here.
When I needed you, you weren't there.
Jack, your mum has never
stopped caring about you.
She's doing that now,
trying to talk to you.
JACK: Oh, I'm leaving.
Where's a dad when you need one?

GOODWIN: All right, everyone.
Jordan King has been charged
with drug possession
with intent to supply
and will remain in custody.
As for Lewis Grant,
he's been allowed to go.
However, he's still a person of interest
in his brother's murder,
but our new line of inquiry
into Matt Brandon
takes priority.
I followed up on Carol's request
for more information on Matt Brandon.
He's got previous for drug offenses.
Yeah. Based on this information,
our new line of inquiry
establishes that Oliver
was a regular customer of Matt's.
And we've got a long record of calls
between Oliver and Jordan to prove it.
And we're convinced Jordan's part
of an active county line operation.
I believe so, yeah.
Jordan was reported
missing by his foster carer
around the same time
that Matt purchased a lease
on the go kart track.
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised
if Matt and Jordan had
already worked together
up and down the country.
Yeah, absolutely.
Jordan's phone has not stopped ringing
since we arrested him.
These county lines are
generating some serious money.
GOODWIN: We need to speak to Matt again.
I want confirmation
it's his base of operations.
OK.
MATT: Hey. Do us a favor.
Go in there and sort
that stuff out in the office for me.
Just need to chat to these.
Just go in there. It's fine.
You're back.
Yeah. A few more questions.
Sure. Questions about what?
About this track being used as a base
for a significant drug operation.
You're mistaken.
I'm more than happy for
you to get a search warrant.
I've got nothing to hide.
Now, listen, Matt.
We know you've got a
history of drug-related offenses,
and we also know from information
that you threatened
to do in Oliver Grant,
so why are you saying
you don't know him?
My past is my past.
Let me guess. You spoke to Jordan.
Well, he's been through
so many foster homes,
worked for so many gangs,
I'd have nothing to do with him.
But, yeah, sorry. I don't know Oliver.
Suit yourself.
You had the opportunity to talk to us.
You're not Jack Farman's mum, are you?

What did you say?
Pay no attention to him, Carol.
He's a good kid.
Don't you dare talk about my son.

[GO KART TIRES SQUEAL]
- GOODWIN: Ridley.
- Yeah.
Darren's going back through any evidence
that can lead to the arrest
of Matt Brandon.
- Uh-huh.
- It'll take time, but there must be
something we've overlooked.
No, absolutely, absolutely,
but I've just made a call that I think
might buy us some time,
but listen, Paul,
when we were up at the go kart track,
Matt Brandon deliberately
intimidated Carol.
He actually brought up her son Jack,
tried to unnerve her.
She got a little bit upset.
How concerned should I be?
I I'm not saying you
should be concerned,
but, you know, have a word with her,
see if she's OK.
Ah. Noted.
- GOODWIN: Darren.
- Yeah?
We need to establish a connection
between Matt and Oliver.
Well, we have Oliver Grant's
personal bank statements.
We're looking through
all the transactions.
Any evidence of money going to Matt?
The account just shows a large number
of withdrawals in the last month,
but that doesn't give us
a link between them,
but also lots of incoming transfers
balance out those withdrawals.
Were you able to identify the
source of the incoming money?
Not yet. We're waiting on a court order
for the company statements
to see if there's a connection.
Any standout purchases in the accounts?
There's a large payment
to a conveyancing solicitor
two months ago.
Conveyancing. Right.
Well, that's a property
purchase, isn't it?
GOODWIN: Then why use
his personal account for that?
DARREN: Other purchases
in the last few weeks
show payments to luxury hotels,
restaurants, lots of shopping.
One also links to a jeweler's.
Hmm. Good. Carol,
a word in my office with you and Ridley,
please.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Is everything OK?
Uh, honestly, no. It's not.
Um, Matt threatened my son.
I'm terrified for his safety,
and I think we need to bring Matt in.
We just don't have
enough to bring him in.
We'll arrange a patrol every two hours.
We have Jordan's interview.
He offers unreliable intelligence.
The evidence is all circumstantial.
With all due respect, this is my case
and my call to make.
OK, Carol. I'm asking you
not to make that call.
Paul, I
this is my son's safety
we're talking about.
I don't have a choice. I'm sorry.
Then I'm sorry, too,
but I'm gonna have to
make a tough decision here.

- I'm asking you to take a step back
from this investigation
effective immediately.
Ridley?
- I'm sorry. I

This isn't what I was expecting
from either of you.
- Look
- Thanks for the solidarity.

Ridley, give her space.
I'm gonna need you to
take the lead on this now.
