Murphy's Law (2003) s03e02 Episode Script
Disorganised Crime
.
.
Dave Callard's associate.
So? He's trying to purchase a gun for a hit.
We've never managed to get anyone even remotely close to Callard.
Callard has been at it for years, drug trafficking, prostitution, extortion and theft.
Sexton was off duty.
Callard knew he was Old Bill and beat him to death in the street with an iron bar.
Why do you want him clipped? An associate wants it done.
Then I must meet this associate.
No way.
Can't do otherwise, Caz.
Dave would like to meet you now.
Sodo we have a deal? Yes, we have a deal.
Where do we go from here? We pull Holloway in.
Once he's in custody we make it clear to him that he's a dead man.
Weflip him.
Genuine remorse will make it easier for us to cut a deal with you.
'Come in with us and we'll protect you.
'We'll protect Ellie.
In a while she can join you in the Witness Protection Scheme.
'In the meantime she'll think I'm dead.
Missing.
' You're supposed to be here, where are you? Yes.
It's done.
Callard believes you are an armourer and a contract killer and fearless.
Nothing on tape.
You're late.
No, I'm not.
You said nine o'clock.
All right.
It's 10.
15.
Caz Miller.
How's his neck? Needed stitches.
He's lucky I left his head on.
Caz wanted to come on his own to sort you out.
So where is he? I'm here instead.
Are you going to sort me out? Your area of expertise.
Uh-huh? Does it extend to the former Soviet Union? It does indeed.
This particular item of interest is the most famous of its kind in the world.
Friends of mine in Yorkshire need three of them fixed.
You're talking precision engineering.
I'm talking that, and I'm talking 200 or 300 very loud bangs.
Any of that a problem? It's not a problem for me.
It's not a problem for them if they can afford me.
Are they trustworthy and reliable? They're friends of the hardware.
They're friends, Dave?! I'll see to the hardware.
They'll call you in the morning.
That's got to be straight before I know it's got to be straight! It's almost there.
Oh, Jesus! Calm down, Murphy.
It's right on the edge.
I know it's tricky but you're getting there.
How many have you butchered now? Four.
And how many have we left? Precision boring.
Maybe you should be teaching me, Paul.
What do you think? I'll fire a round down this one, see if it blows up same as the last three.
What's Rees saying? We've full authority to follow up.
If we don't your man's going to go to someone else.
Of course he will.
Will you give me a hand with this stuff? I'll give it a go.
I could do this.
So, who's our local man in the middle of Yorkshire? SHE is DCI Hammond, NCS out of Bradford, she's setting me up an Ops Room.
She sounds like a good bloke.
Rees has briefed her.
Long as she's a good bloke.
Oi, Murphy! How did it go, Terry? It nearly took me bloody head off.
Shit.
Three Kalashnikovs is serious fire power.
There's no way we can let these out on the street.
Callard believes they're the favourite weapon of terrorists.
God knows what they're planning to hit or who.
Who do you think they are? Hasn't Callard let anything slip? No, as cagey as ever.
I'm guessing Northern Irish connections with decommissioned weapons via Liverpool.
I could be talking shite.
What about ammunition? They want it but they're not going to get it.
When I know what they're up to, and their connection to Callard, pick them up.
First chance you get, call me.
Names, descriptions, anything I can use.
You never know, they might have previous.
I'll make contact later.
Right, Yorkshire.
I am knackered already.
Take care.
See you up there.
Your detective superintendent pulled rank, went over my head.
My misgivings are a matter of record.
I don't know DS Murphy and I'm being asked to sanction an operation I think runs the risk of going seriously tits up.
I wasn't aware you had misgivings, DCI Hammond.
You don't know who they are.
You don't know why they want their gums reactivated.
You've an undercover officer flying blind.
What if they get suspicious of DS Murphy? They won't.
Why not? Murphy won't let them.
You're his cover officer, aren't you? DS Murphy is utterly professional.
Frankly, I'll tell you what worries me most, DS Alison.
Somebody isn't being straight with me.
The resources being expended on this operation are out of all proportion.
What am I not being told? We're building a case against Dave Callard.
Who? Dave Callard is a cop killer.
The target of an ongoing investigation headed by DSI Rees.
It was Callard put these guys on to Murphy so we think there could be a connection.
He is a major player, a major prize.
And we think these guys could get us closer.
He killed a police officer! He was acquitted.
Hello? Paul? They've given me an OS map reference.
Sheet 32, reference 741582.
According to the map, Paul, I'm in the middle of a boggy moor.
Of course I know how to read a map.
I can read.
Well, the middle of nowhere's friggin' miles from anywhere else, you know! Goodness sake! Three heavily-armed men within driving distance of You can see for yourself.
.
.
four major cities, 20 to 25 towns.
All with banks, building societies.
The way we'll find out is if Murphy finds out first.
Or pick them up now and interrogate them.
Rees thinks we stand more chance with Murphy on site.
Let's hope he's right.
Philip, help! You OK, son? Not really.
My boot is getting sucked off in this ditch.
Philip! HORN BLARES Rock'n'roll will rot your wee brain, son.
It ain't rock-n-roll, it's garage.
Garagethat shite'll turn you into a retard.
Your friend drowns in a smelly bog and you know nothing about it.
We're lost.
My map fell apart in the wet.
Do you boys want a lift? If we accept a lift we going to be disqualified from the Golden Medal Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and all of this will mean nothing.
It will be meaningless, man! Here, lads.
I don't know where you're heading but we are here.
Take that.
Got any fags, mate? I asked for them! They're mine! Looks like it's an over-wintering site.
Do we know who's there just now? Not got any idea.
Travellers move around the country.
They don't have National Insurance, social security, birth registration even.
They live in a parallel bloody universe! Not life as we know it.
Barely humanoid.
DOG BARKS Turn off the ignition.
I think you're expecting me.
Aye? Depends on who you are, Paddy.
Are you expecting someone called Paddy? No.
Good, cos that's not my name.
Take the shotgun out of my face, I'm not impressed by people waving firearms.
Who are you? Why name's Murphy.
I'm the man who knows about guns.
Someone in this shit hole better be expecting me! You must be Murphy.
The man you need to see is with someone right now.
.
.
You want to interrupt him? Uh-huh.
With somebody? Yeah.
With in a platonic sense or in a carnal sense? Some clue as to the timescale.
Our sister.
Actually, it leaves me none the wiser.
I have nowhere else to go! Ellie, come here.
Ellie Holloway's your sister? Take a seat.
This is my brother Danny.
Slainte.
Slainte.
Man says he knows Ellie.
You know my sister, do you? I've met her, yes.
Dave Callard says you're a very useful armourer, Mr Murphy.
You know we want to purchase ammunition and want three machine-guns reactivated.
Kalashnikov AK47.
These two are Czech.
Yep.
Czech CZ58s.
You can see the markings.
Probably came into the country courtesy of Colonel Gadaffi and support from my old mates in Belfast.
Paid any more than ã300 apiece for these and you were robbed.
They need reboring.
They do indeed.
They need reboring and repinned.
This one needs the barrel done, the firing pin and the gas rod replaced.
These two are pre-95 deactivations.
They need the return spring, the bolt carrier, the gas rod and the breech block replaced.
These will take longer.
Two days.
You have one day.
One day, can't be done.
This is precision work, you can't rush it.
Why one day? What's happening tomorrow that can't wait? One day.
Right, well, you boys clearly have a timetable to stick to.
One day it is.
One grand a day.
I make that two grand.
What about the ammunition? The whole package.
Let's say three grand on account of the goodwill I'm feeling flowing over and around me, here in your beautifully appointed mobile home.
Ow! What the hell? God! Jeez! Dave Callard.
You know the man I mean? Give him some.
What? God! Oh, just! No! Gargh! No having my sister in here.
And she's torn apart .
.
cos her man has vanished.
She is torn apart.
No! I will burn you.
I'll make of your head one serious bonfire.
No! LISTEN! What happened to Richard Holloway? I have no idea.
MURPHY GROANS Everything you know.
I heard he ran away.
Absconded with ã2 million of the firm's money.
Who'd you hear that from? Everybody.
Dave Callard told me himself.
I know nothing about your sister's husband except what I've been told.
Now you want these guns so badly.
Danny?! Gie him a towel.
Cal, pour the man another drink.
My sister's the most precious thing in my life, Mr Murphy.
Get your gear.
Cal and Gerard'll show you the workshop.
Danny sees our sister in that state, he's gutted.
Forget it.
I've one day to do this.
I'll do my job, get my money and go.
Leave me alone.
RAPID GUNSHOTS You want to see what you get for your money? Come with me.
Bring the mutt along, and he can bring his big dog! The Kalashnikov AK47, fires 650 high-calibre rounds per minute.
That's ten per second.
Ten rounds easily cut two people in half.
That's 120 people per minute, all cut in half.
Which is 240 half-people flobbing around in the ground.
With three of these you're packing enough firepower to wage a small war.
What a small war sounds like is this It also fires individual rounds for shooting individuals with.
Maybe you'll get your Zippo lighter out now? Wave the wee flame in my face again.
How many individual rounds have you got left? No idea.
Do you want to risk it? I'll show you what one of these bullets does to flesh and bone.
Here, doggie.
No! That petrol stunt put another grand on my price.
MOBILE DIALLING TONES Come in.
Hiya, I'm I'm struggling getting a a signal on my mobile.
Do you have a phone I could use? I need to make a call for your brothers.
There's no signal out here.
On anybody's phones.
All right.
To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have guessed in a million years they were your brothers.
So how are you doing? It's Murphy, isn't it? Tommy Murphy.
Well, Murphy, I'm doing OK.
Have you got a spare one of those? I'm starving.
What do you think they're up to? Who? Your brothers.
Not something they'd tell me about.
You're supposed to give it a stir.
Otherwise it's sloppy at the top and clumpy and inedible at the bottom, like used cat litter.
Not that it isn't great.
There's a phone box in a lay-by about a mile-and-a-half up the road.
Thanks.
You don't know anything, do you? What about? Richard.
No, if I did I'd tell you, honestly.
You wanna be careful, you know.
My brother Danny .
.
I know he looks like Jesus.
He's not.
Thanks.
Where are you going? You want your ammunition, I've got to phone my man, set up a meet.
He doesn't know where the hell I am.
Go then.
ENGINE STARTS UP Ellie Holloway is here.
They're her brothers - Danny and Cal.
There's another guy called Gerard.
Does she think you're involved? No, if she did, I'd be dead by now.
Whatever's happening is tomorrow.
I've a day to fix the guns.
I can't hear you.
Are you there? Tom, I can't hear you.
PHONE GOES DEAD The McGeechan brothers, they both have form.
Cal did three years in Perth.
Daniel did five in Saughton.
What were they in for? Cal was convicted of serious assault.
Daniel went down for a stabbing and killed a man when he was 16.
Did three years in a young offenders on a manslaughter conviction.
SHOUTING IN DISTANCE You're in here.
This is you for the night.
You've put me in the doghouse? It's this or your car.
DOG BARKS CONTINUOUSLY When have I ever lied to you about anything at all? It's not a big deal.
No-one is gonna get hurt.
Danny, somebody always ends up getting hurt.
RADIO SCANNER: 'Proceeding to to Wilbur Lane.
ETA, 10 minutes.
Please state situation.
' DOG BARKS DOG'S BARKS INCREASINGLY URGEN Help! MUFFLED GROANS CAPTIVE'S MUFFLED PANICKED MUMBLING Did you hear something? I'll get Gerard.
I've told you everything I know.
I'm only the driver.
Please, don't kill me.
I won't kill you.
I want to be sure you told us everything.
Tell me again.
Why? So I know you're not lying.
16 kilos of Charlie.
300 grand.
Where and when? You're a different bloke.
Tell me the time and place, where? Where is it happening? You're not the one who broke my arm.
Which arm? This one? Argh! I think it's them.
Come on.
I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill every single You two round the back.
Go on.
PADLOCK CLUNKS AND DOOR CLATTERS Come on, then! Murphy? You're here? Listen, there's people snooping around over there.
Are you going to help me find them? They were heading over to Danny's trailer.
Danny? Cal? Get out here.
Come on.
They're here.
What's up, man? You saw them? Murphy's right.
Come on.
It's got to be this time.
Come on! THE BROTHERS WHOOP What was all that about? Billy Stark and his sons.
What do they want? Kill Gerard.
Why? Last year, when we were here, Gerard caught young Billy Stark stealing stuff.
So? So Gerard stuck his hands in the deepfatfryer.
And what did Billy Stark Senior do? Does he do? He's a big builder builder, contractor.
Gina.
Nice talking to you.
Back to work.
DOOR BANGS You trying to give me a heart attack? You done with my guns? One more to go.
It takes time.
I knew a guy who once fired off an AK47 he thought he'd done, blew half his face off.
Round jammed in the barrel.
Wouldn't be a good idea you putting me off.
We don't want you to lose your head now, do we? Cos then Cal would be last of the McGeechans.
It's me.
I'm at the lay-by near the site.
Get here quick.
Bring something to eat.
I can't hear you.
Can you hear me? Bring me something to eat.
You're looking good.
And you if you'd been up all night tuning guns for "The Deliverance" posse.
So what have we got? It's a drugs deal.
16 kilos of Charlie changing hands for 300 grand cash.
The McGeechans'll sweep with their guns and steal it.
Where and when? Tonight, don't know where.
They've got a guy tied up.
He's been there a while, given the state of his wounds.
They've kicked the shit out of him.
He has a scar over his heart, speaks with a Manchester accent.
Said he was the driver.
Find out who he is.
Might give us something.
There may be a connection to Callard? Is it connected to Callard? Nothing in their criminal records points to it.
They're amateurs.
They're psychotic, but amateurs.
Not Callard's style at all.
The only way we can be sure is if I take one of them out and supply them with ammunition.
No way, Tom.
Blank firing rounds.
If I don't produce the bullets, we've had it.
If I come good, I'm in, we get a major result.
Blanks never killed anyone.
Look, take this.
No, I can't use that.
Last resort.
They have a frequency scanner.
They'll hear me.
So, what do you think? What.
.
?! The goalposts have just emigrated.
I've got to take this to Rees.
I'll be at the Black Sheep Inn today at three.
If Rees OKs it, I'll have the blanks.
If not, we pull out and do them for possession of firearms, kidnapping and GBH.
I'll see you later.
Just like old times, eh? Thanks for this.
That's supposed to be for a rainy day.
Take it easy, darling.
Cal! I'll do this.
Here.
Thanks.
Tequila? I'm all right.
Supposed to be an aphrodisiac.
Does it work? Only if you find being sick sexy.
This used to be my favourite ride.
When did you leave? I ran away when I was 14, reinvented myself.
I always wanted to run away and join the circus.
Couldn't face the clapping sea lions.
I went to Spain.
Worked in bars.
Tried very hard to forget all this.
All what? My brothers.
My family.
Their unholy addiction to violence and mayhem.
I was doing all right.
I met Richard.
He was working hard, building up his business.
Then Dave Callard came into our lives and turned everything to shit.
Go on, then, I'll have some.
Would you leave me for ã2 million? No.
Neither would Richard.
Then he'll be back.
So people keep saying.
He called me, Richard, the night he disappeared.
I was having dinner with Dave Callard in a restaurant.
Richard told me how much he loved me.
What do you think your brothers want to do with their guns? Danny calls it shock and awe.
Go in big, the opposition rolls over, nobody gets hurt.
Except somebody always gets hurt.
Your brothers have a man tied up in that shack, half beaten him to death.
Do you think he has a wife that wonders where the hell he is, if he's alive or dead? It's none of my business, you and your brothers.
You and your husband.
Scar over his heart.
Could be a stabbing.
Could be an operation scar.
It could've happened here, or any other part of the country.
It's not going to lead us to an ID.
Well, the McGeechans are going in tooled up big time, so we must assume That they expect these boys to be tooled up.
Am I looking at a bloodbath on my patch? Guv.
DCI Hammond, this is Detective Superintendent Rees.
Good to meet you.
Sir.
The problem with blank firing rounds is simple.
To detonate convincingly, they can't contain a lead projectile.
If they don't contain a lead projectile, then even the most cursory examination will reveal them to be fakes.
Too light.
You have it in one, DCI Hammond.
These titanium nickel alloy test rounds are used in specialist weapons training exercises.
And good enough for the McGeechans? Sir, I've misgivings.
Serious misgivings.
You want to turn your back on 16 kilos of cocaine and 300 grand? That's the kind of result could change your career.
A multi-force operation with NCS, a result like that, you the supervising officer.
Frankly I don't give a shit about frankly.
And I don't give a shit about your misgivings.
You think we came for a change of air? Toe the line! You've no idea what this operation represents, your superiors do.
They have assured me of your full co-operation.
Sir.
Do I have you replaced or do you get your finger out of your arse and co-operate? Feel free to respond frankly.
Sir.
What's happening with Ellie Holloway, Paul? Is she going to come back and bite us on the arse? No, Murphy thinks that she's OK.
Hammond's quite right to have misgivings.
Bloody right she is.
Do the meet with Murphy.
Will do.
Mr Murphy? Where are my bullets? Mr McGeechan, where's my money? Don't you worry, I've got your cash.
Excellent, you pay me and I'll go and get the bullets.
Trust at a premium, Murphy? I'll take Gerard with me.
Justget us the bullets.
Gerard'll pay you what we owe you, and then you can bugger off back to London.
Take a shotgun.
What for? You don't get us our ammo, Gerard just might need it.
MUSIC PLAYS ON CAR AUDIO: "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop.

No, lager.
Two pints of lager.
You born and bred into the circus? Where's the rest of the gang? Gang? Lion tamers, bearded lady.
It's the off-season.
They've got jobs.
Proper jobs? ã4.
80.
What do you do in the on season, you a clown? Kind of miss the petrol.
If you'd shot my dog.
Uh-huh? I'd have broken your neck.
Snapped it like a twig.
That's right.
Fair enough.
'Directory enquiries.

'Just looking now, sir.
' Can you put me through? 'Yes, sir.
' Come on.
'Hello, Stark and Sons.
' Is that Billy Stark? 'Aye.
' Gerard Riley is at the Black Sheep, I can keep him here half an hour or so.
The rest is up to you.
'Hang on a minute' Have whatever you want, Gerard.
Lunch is on me.
Money no object.
You can take it out of the cash in the envelope.
I'm drawn to the cassoulet.
It's a French classic.
You order.
I'll get the bullets.
Hey.
Danny says to stick with you.
I don't give a shit what Danny says.
It's my end of the deal or no deal.
You're Danny's errand boy.
I'm nobody's.
Sit down.
Are we on? We're on.
These are good.
The best.
Should fool them.
Unless I have to use them.
What's this? Cassoulet.
Bean stew with sausages.
Do you want me to keep your friend's warm? No.
PUB CUSTOMERS: The usual? Yeah.
Cheers.
So we still don't know about the where and when? No.
They are however about to go a man down.
Jesus.
Give me a shout if you need me.
There's the bastard.
All right, Billy.
How's your junkie lad's guitar lessons coming on? Come on! CRASHING AND THUMPS CONTINUING RUCKUS IN PUB Hey! That's enough.
HORN BLARES McGeechan! What sort of amateurs am I dealing with, eh? Look at the state of him.
What the hell happened? Who the fuck is Billy Stark? You OK, man? Get Gina.
Do it! Tell me what the guns are for or you don't get the ammo.
I've paid for it.
Cut me in for a third and you will get it.
We can't do it without a third man, Danny.
Gerard cannae move, look at him.
All right.
Get the guns sorted, Murphy.
You're in.
This is the key to that shack.
I'm leaving but not with that guy tied up and beaten half to death.
Why? Gina's taking me down to London.
I don't want her still there when my brothers get back.
Can I trust you? Yes.
If Danny finds out, he'll kill you.
I'll keep him and Cal busy for ten minutes.
We need to get him to casualty.
He's no going to casualty.
This knee's finished, Danny.
You are going nowhere.
How much do you weigh, Gerard? Who cares what he weighs? These are 20 milligram sodium thanatol tablets, I wanna knock him out, not kill him.
13 stone.
That is about half the weight of Gina's gelding.
Gina's gelding?! They're horse tranquillisers.
Get some water, Cal.
Where and when? And this is yours.
We've alerted the air ambulance service, they'll have a unit on standby.
Everybody's attention.
As soon as we hear from Murphy we're ready to go.
And this is him.
We know the McGeechans will not be carrying live ammunition, but we must assume there may be live firearms at the arrest scene, so we will take all necessary steps to protect this officer.
Come on, Murphy, get a move on.
If we don't return, take care of the guy in the shack.
If you don't get him seen to, he'll be a cripple.
Is that you away? I was looking for help, Danny.
Instead I get EllieI have to do this thing tonight, all right.
Look at the state he's in.
Why does it always come down to this? Stay, Ellie.
You're in no state to travel.
We're your family.
What are you going home to? I'm not the one you should be worrying about.
Anything happens to Cal, I won't forgive you.

Hey, what's the matter? What's the matter? Are you going to burn me now? Hey? How much cash is there in the deal? 100 grand.
I want 30.
You know what I don't get? What? How did Billy Stark know where to find Gerard? I don't know.
But if I hadn't been there, they'd have killed him.
From what I hear, Gerard had it coming to him.
No, Murphy, it wasn't Gerard crippled young Billy Stark.
It was him.
You should've heard that wee boy's voice.
Oh, Mummy.
Oh, Daddy.
Is the deep-fat fryer too hot for you, son? HE LAUGHS You two, either side of the building.
Murphy, get a move on.
Wait till I start shooting.
What's going on? Are they here for us? I told you we shouldn't have broken in.
Another car's pulled up.
I don't want to stay here, it's not safe.
Ssh.
There you are, mate.
You all right there? You got everything? You got our stuff, then? Gee, come on.
What's going on? Get down! Throw your weapons to the ground.
Get in the pub! Don't shoot! On the floor! Get down.
Down.
Get those two.
Hold them! I'm getting out of here.
You come with me.
What's going on? SIRENS WAIL Hold your fire! Stand down.
I'm a policeman.
I repeat, stand down! Remember, we have an undercover, do not shoot unless you have clear eyeball.
Lay down your weapons.
We must establish an outer cordon.
We're on it.
Which one's Murphy? He will make itself known as soon as he can.
Lay down your weapons NOW! Man down.
Get an ambulance to the outer cordon.
Can anyone say if it was Murphy? The firearms officers can't distinguish.
We must get the light firearms out of there.
Get the car, Murphy.
OK.
SIRENS WAIL It's jammed.
Drop the weapon! Jesus.
TANNOY: Move away from the vehicle, put your hands in the air.
Jeez! We've got to get out.
Move it.
Run! Stephen, don't leave me! Murphy, get the doors.
Go.
Does anyone know what's happening in there? We're trying to get in closer.
There's no cover.
One of our officers has picked up a boy who's escaped.
He says his friend's still in there.
I have a hostage! I WILL shoot him! Don't shoot me.
Don't do anything stupid.
I told you to check the doors.
Danny! Cal, how are you doing? I'm OK, Dan.
I'm OK.
Get round the back.
Check out access.
Is anyone debriefing the boy, he might have information.
We're on it.
CAL GROANS IN PAIN He has been shot in the guts, Danny.
He's bleeding to death.
He's dying.
We need to get help.
Just let this boy go! What are you trying to achieve?! I'm trying to think! Your brother is dying.
No, he's not.
Your man must be OK.
The fire exit's open.
We'll get someone in.
Let's get that kid out.
What are you going to do? Use this kid to get us out of here.
Let him go, Danny.
Why? He's the only thing we've got.
Shooting him's not going to help us.
Nothing is going to help us.
The cops don't negotiate, Danny.
They'll negotiate with me.
Why? If they don't .
.
I'll shoot him in the head.
Let him go.
What are you playing at? Let him go, or I will shoot you.
You have a sudden attack of the conscience? What the fuck's wrong with you? Your brother is dying and we are going to jail.
Do you think I want to do a life sentence? Sit in the same cell as you? Because the big hard man executes a wee boy.
You know who you should be pointing a gun at, Danny? Remember you held a lighter in front my face? You did the right thing.
You know why? Because I killed your sister's man.
She's the most precious thing in your life.
She's torn in half.
That's down to me.
Danny.
Because I popped Richard Holloway's skull wide open with a baseball bat.
I turned your sister into a grieving widow.
For money.
That was down to me.
So's this.
DANNY! Someone's been shot.
They've taken the target out.
Is the kid all right? He's fine.
We've identified the third gang member, I'm assuming that's your man.
That's our man.
Aren't you going to introduce me to your associate? This is Miss Calder, something of an expert, has connections with a reliable supplier.
She's been murdered.
She's Gill Calder, moved here about six months ago.
She's one of ours.
Compliments to the forger.
We don't want your shit on our doorstep.
I'm in the clear.
The deal's still on.
What are those bruises? She's black and blue.
You're going to lose your fingers one by one.
You were to look out for her.
What did you do? Did you walk out and leave the door open? She's one of my oldest friends.
.
Dave Callard's associate.
So? He's trying to purchase a gun for a hit.
We've never managed to get anyone even remotely close to Callard.
Callard has been at it for years, drug trafficking, prostitution, extortion and theft.
Sexton was off duty.
Callard knew he was Old Bill and beat him to death in the street with an iron bar.
Why do you want him clipped? An associate wants it done.
Then I must meet this associate.
No way.
Can't do otherwise, Caz.
Dave would like to meet you now.
Sodo we have a deal? Yes, we have a deal.
Where do we go from here? We pull Holloway in.
Once he's in custody we make it clear to him that he's a dead man.
Weflip him.
Genuine remorse will make it easier for us to cut a deal with you.
'Come in with us and we'll protect you.
'We'll protect Ellie.
In a while she can join you in the Witness Protection Scheme.
'In the meantime she'll think I'm dead.
Missing.
' You're supposed to be here, where are you? Yes.
It's done.
Callard believes you are an armourer and a contract killer and fearless.
Nothing on tape.
You're late.
No, I'm not.
You said nine o'clock.
All right.
It's 10.
15.
Caz Miller.
How's his neck? Needed stitches.
He's lucky I left his head on.
Caz wanted to come on his own to sort you out.
So where is he? I'm here instead.
Are you going to sort me out? Your area of expertise.
Uh-huh? Does it extend to the former Soviet Union? It does indeed.
This particular item of interest is the most famous of its kind in the world.
Friends of mine in Yorkshire need three of them fixed.
You're talking precision engineering.
I'm talking that, and I'm talking 200 or 300 very loud bangs.
Any of that a problem? It's not a problem for me.
It's not a problem for them if they can afford me.
Are they trustworthy and reliable? They're friends of the hardware.
They're friends, Dave?! I'll see to the hardware.
They'll call you in the morning.
That's got to be straight before I know it's got to be straight! It's almost there.
Oh, Jesus! Calm down, Murphy.
It's right on the edge.
I know it's tricky but you're getting there.
How many have you butchered now? Four.
And how many have we left? Precision boring.
Maybe you should be teaching me, Paul.
What do you think? I'll fire a round down this one, see if it blows up same as the last three.
What's Rees saying? We've full authority to follow up.
If we don't your man's going to go to someone else.
Of course he will.
Will you give me a hand with this stuff? I'll give it a go.
I could do this.
So, who's our local man in the middle of Yorkshire? SHE is DCI Hammond, NCS out of Bradford, she's setting me up an Ops Room.
She sounds like a good bloke.
Rees has briefed her.
Long as she's a good bloke.
Oi, Murphy! How did it go, Terry? It nearly took me bloody head off.
Shit.
Three Kalashnikovs is serious fire power.
There's no way we can let these out on the street.
Callard believes they're the favourite weapon of terrorists.
God knows what they're planning to hit or who.
Who do you think they are? Hasn't Callard let anything slip? No, as cagey as ever.
I'm guessing Northern Irish connections with decommissioned weapons via Liverpool.
I could be talking shite.
What about ammunition? They want it but they're not going to get it.
When I know what they're up to, and their connection to Callard, pick them up.
First chance you get, call me.
Names, descriptions, anything I can use.
You never know, they might have previous.
I'll make contact later.
Right, Yorkshire.
I am knackered already.
Take care.
See you up there.
Your detective superintendent pulled rank, went over my head.
My misgivings are a matter of record.
I don't know DS Murphy and I'm being asked to sanction an operation I think runs the risk of going seriously tits up.
I wasn't aware you had misgivings, DCI Hammond.
You don't know who they are.
You don't know why they want their gums reactivated.
You've an undercover officer flying blind.
What if they get suspicious of DS Murphy? They won't.
Why not? Murphy won't let them.
You're his cover officer, aren't you? DS Murphy is utterly professional.
Frankly, I'll tell you what worries me most, DS Alison.
Somebody isn't being straight with me.
The resources being expended on this operation are out of all proportion.
What am I not being told? We're building a case against Dave Callard.
Who? Dave Callard is a cop killer.
The target of an ongoing investigation headed by DSI Rees.
It was Callard put these guys on to Murphy so we think there could be a connection.
He is a major player, a major prize.
And we think these guys could get us closer.
He killed a police officer! He was acquitted.
Hello? Paul? They've given me an OS map reference.
Sheet 32, reference 741582.
According to the map, Paul, I'm in the middle of a boggy moor.
Of course I know how to read a map.
I can read.
Well, the middle of nowhere's friggin' miles from anywhere else, you know! Goodness sake! Three heavily-armed men within driving distance of You can see for yourself.
.
.
four major cities, 20 to 25 towns.
All with banks, building societies.
The way we'll find out is if Murphy finds out first.
Or pick them up now and interrogate them.
Rees thinks we stand more chance with Murphy on site.
Let's hope he's right.
Philip, help! You OK, son? Not really.
My boot is getting sucked off in this ditch.
Philip! HORN BLARES Rock'n'roll will rot your wee brain, son.
It ain't rock-n-roll, it's garage.
Garagethat shite'll turn you into a retard.
Your friend drowns in a smelly bog and you know nothing about it.
We're lost.
My map fell apart in the wet.
Do you boys want a lift? If we accept a lift we going to be disqualified from the Golden Medal Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and all of this will mean nothing.
It will be meaningless, man! Here, lads.
I don't know where you're heading but we are here.
Take that.
Got any fags, mate? I asked for them! They're mine! Looks like it's an over-wintering site.
Do we know who's there just now? Not got any idea.
Travellers move around the country.
They don't have National Insurance, social security, birth registration even.
They live in a parallel bloody universe! Not life as we know it.
Barely humanoid.
DOG BARKS Turn off the ignition.
I think you're expecting me.
Aye? Depends on who you are, Paddy.
Are you expecting someone called Paddy? No.
Good, cos that's not my name.
Take the shotgun out of my face, I'm not impressed by people waving firearms.
Who are you? Why name's Murphy.
I'm the man who knows about guns.
Someone in this shit hole better be expecting me! You must be Murphy.
The man you need to see is with someone right now.
.
.
You want to interrupt him? Uh-huh.
With somebody? Yeah.
With in a platonic sense or in a carnal sense? Some clue as to the timescale.
Our sister.
Actually, it leaves me none the wiser.
I have nowhere else to go! Ellie, come here.
Ellie Holloway's your sister? Take a seat.
This is my brother Danny.
Slainte.
Slainte.
Man says he knows Ellie.
You know my sister, do you? I've met her, yes.
Dave Callard says you're a very useful armourer, Mr Murphy.
You know we want to purchase ammunition and want three machine-guns reactivated.
Kalashnikov AK47.
These two are Czech.
Yep.
Czech CZ58s.
You can see the markings.
Probably came into the country courtesy of Colonel Gadaffi and support from my old mates in Belfast.
Paid any more than ã300 apiece for these and you were robbed.
They need reboring.
They do indeed.
They need reboring and repinned.
This one needs the barrel done, the firing pin and the gas rod replaced.
These two are pre-95 deactivations.
They need the return spring, the bolt carrier, the gas rod and the breech block replaced.
These will take longer.
Two days.
You have one day.
One day, can't be done.
This is precision work, you can't rush it.
Why one day? What's happening tomorrow that can't wait? One day.
Right, well, you boys clearly have a timetable to stick to.
One day it is.
One grand a day.
I make that two grand.
What about the ammunition? The whole package.
Let's say three grand on account of the goodwill I'm feeling flowing over and around me, here in your beautifully appointed mobile home.
Ow! What the hell? God! Jeez! Dave Callard.
You know the man I mean? Give him some.
What? God! Oh, just! No! Gargh! No having my sister in here.
And she's torn apart .
.
cos her man has vanished.
She is torn apart.
No! I will burn you.
I'll make of your head one serious bonfire.
No! LISTEN! What happened to Richard Holloway? I have no idea.
MURPHY GROANS Everything you know.
I heard he ran away.
Absconded with ã2 million of the firm's money.
Who'd you hear that from? Everybody.
Dave Callard told me himself.
I know nothing about your sister's husband except what I've been told.
Now you want these guns so badly.
Danny?! Gie him a towel.
Cal, pour the man another drink.
My sister's the most precious thing in my life, Mr Murphy.
Get your gear.
Cal and Gerard'll show you the workshop.
Danny sees our sister in that state, he's gutted.
Forget it.
I've one day to do this.
I'll do my job, get my money and go.
Leave me alone.
RAPID GUNSHOTS You want to see what you get for your money? Come with me.
Bring the mutt along, and he can bring his big dog! The Kalashnikov AK47, fires 650 high-calibre rounds per minute.
That's ten per second.
Ten rounds easily cut two people in half.
That's 120 people per minute, all cut in half.
Which is 240 half-people flobbing around in the ground.
With three of these you're packing enough firepower to wage a small war.
What a small war sounds like is this It also fires individual rounds for shooting individuals with.
Maybe you'll get your Zippo lighter out now? Wave the wee flame in my face again.
How many individual rounds have you got left? No idea.
Do you want to risk it? I'll show you what one of these bullets does to flesh and bone.
Here, doggie.
No! That petrol stunt put another grand on my price.
MOBILE DIALLING TONES Come in.
Hiya, I'm I'm struggling getting a a signal on my mobile.
Do you have a phone I could use? I need to make a call for your brothers.
There's no signal out here.
On anybody's phones.
All right.
To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have guessed in a million years they were your brothers.
So how are you doing? It's Murphy, isn't it? Tommy Murphy.
Well, Murphy, I'm doing OK.
Have you got a spare one of those? I'm starving.
What do you think they're up to? Who? Your brothers.
Not something they'd tell me about.
You're supposed to give it a stir.
Otherwise it's sloppy at the top and clumpy and inedible at the bottom, like used cat litter.
Not that it isn't great.
There's a phone box in a lay-by about a mile-and-a-half up the road.
Thanks.
You don't know anything, do you? What about? Richard.
No, if I did I'd tell you, honestly.
You wanna be careful, you know.
My brother Danny .
.
I know he looks like Jesus.
He's not.
Thanks.
Where are you going? You want your ammunition, I've got to phone my man, set up a meet.
He doesn't know where the hell I am.
Go then.
ENGINE STARTS UP Ellie Holloway is here.
They're her brothers - Danny and Cal.
There's another guy called Gerard.
Does she think you're involved? No, if she did, I'd be dead by now.
Whatever's happening is tomorrow.
I've a day to fix the guns.
I can't hear you.
Are you there? Tom, I can't hear you.
PHONE GOES DEAD The McGeechan brothers, they both have form.
Cal did three years in Perth.
Daniel did five in Saughton.
What were they in for? Cal was convicted of serious assault.
Daniel went down for a stabbing and killed a man when he was 16.
Did three years in a young offenders on a manslaughter conviction.
SHOUTING IN DISTANCE You're in here.
This is you for the night.
You've put me in the doghouse? It's this or your car.
DOG BARKS CONTINUOUSLY When have I ever lied to you about anything at all? It's not a big deal.

Come on! THE BROTHERS WHOOP What was all that about? Billy Stark and his sons.
What do they want? Kill Gerard.
Why? Last year, when we were here, Gerard caught young Billy Stark stealing stuff.
So? So Gerard stuck his hands in the deepfatfryer.

Gina.
Nice talking to you.
Back to work.
DOOR BANGS You trying to give me a heart attack? You done with my guns? One more to go.
It takes time.
I knew a guy who once fired off an AK47 he thought he'd done, blew half his face off.
Round jammed in the barrel.
Wouldn't be a good idea you putting me off.
We don't want you to lose your head now, do we? Cos then Cal would be last of the McGeechans.
It's me.
I'm at the lay-by near the site.
Get here quick.
Bring something to eat.
I can't hear you.
Can you hear me? Bring me something to eat.
You're looking good.
And you if you'd been up all night tuning guns for "The Deliverance" posse.

16 kilos of Charlie changing hands for 300 grand cash.
The McGeechans'll sweep with their guns and steal it.
Where and when? Tonight, don't know where.
They've got a guy tied up.
He's been there a while, given the state of his wounds.
They've kicked the shit out of him.
He has a scar over his heart, speaks with a Manchester accent.
Said he was the driver.
Find out who he is.
Might give us something.
There may be a connection to Callard? Is it connected to Callard? Nothing in their criminal records points to it.
They're amateurs.
They're psychotic, but amateurs.
Not Callard's style at all.
The only way we can be sure is if I take one of them out and supply them with ammunition.
No way, Tom.
Blank firing rounds.
If I don't produce the bullets, we've had it.
If I come good, I'm in, we get a major result.
Blanks never killed anyone.
Look, take this.
No, I can't use that.
Last resort.
They have a frequency scanner.
They'll hear me.
So, what do you think? What.
.
?! The goalposts have just emigrated.
I've got to take this to Rees.
I'll be at the Black Sheep Inn today at three.
If Rees OKs it, I'll have the blanks.
If not, we pull out and do them for possession of firearms, kidnapping and GBH.
I'll see you later.
Just like old times, eh? Thanks for this.
That's supposed to be for a rainy day.
Take it easy, darling.

I always wanted to run away and join the circus.
Couldn't face the clapping sea lions.
I went to Spain.
Worked in bars.
Tried very hard to forget all this.
All what? My brothers.
My family.
Their unholy addiction to violence and mayhem.
I was doing all right.
I met Richard.
He was working hard, building up his business.
Then Dave Callard came into our lives and turned everything to shit.
Go on, then, I'll have some.
Would you leave me for ã2 million? No.
Neither would Richard.
Then he'll be back.
So people keep saying.
He called me, Richard, the night he disappeared.
I was having dinner with Dave Callard in a restaurant.
Richard told me how much he loved me.
What do you think your brothers want to do with their guns? Danny calls it shock and awe.
Go in big, the opposition rolls over, nobody gets hurt.
Except somebody always gets hurt.
Your brothers have a man tied up in that shack, half beaten him to death.
Do you think he has a wife that wonders where the hell he is, if he's alive or dead? It's none of my business, you and your brothers.
You and your husband.
Scar over his heart.
Could be a stabbing.
Could be an operation scar.
It could've happened here, or any other part of the country.
It's not going to lead us to an ID.
Well, the McGeechans are going in tooled up big time, so we must assume That they expect these boys to be tooled up.
Am I looking at a bloodbath on my patch? Guv.
DCI Hammond, this is Detective Superintendent Rees.
Good to meet you.
Sir.
The problem with blank firing rounds is simple.
To detonate convincingly, they can't contain a lead projectile.
If they don't contain a lead projectile, then even the most cursory examination will reveal them to be fakes.
Too light.
You have it in one, DCI Hammond.
These titanium nickel alloy test rounds are used in specialist weapons training exercises.
And good enough for the McGeechans? Sir, I've misgivings.
Serious misgivings.
You want to turn your back on 16 kilos of cocaine and 300 grand? That's the kind of result could change your career.
A multi-force operation with NCS, a result like that, you the supervising officer.
Frankly I don't give a shit about frankly.
And I don't give a shit about your misgivings.
You think we came for a change of air? Toe the line! You've no idea what this operation represents, your superiors do.
They have assured me of your full co-operation.
Sir.
Do I have you replaced or do you get your finger out of your arse and co-operate? Feel free to respond frankly.
Sir.
What's happening with Ellie Holloway, Paul? Is she going to come back and bite us on the arse? No, Murphy thinks that she's OK.
Hammond's quite right to have misgivings.
Bloody right she is.
Do the meet with Murphy.
Will do.
Mr Murphy? Where are my bullets? Mr McGeechan, where's my money? Don't you worry, I've got your cash.
Excellent, you pay me and I'll go and get the bullets.
Trust at a premium, Murphy? I'll take Gerard with me.
Justget us the bullets.
Gerard'll pay you what we owe you, and then you can bugger off back to London.
Take a shotgun.
What for? You don't get us our ammo, Gerard just might need it.

He's bleeding to death.
He's dying.
We need to get help.
Just let this boy go! What are you trying to achieve?! I'm trying to think! Your brother is dying.
No, he's not.
Your man must be OK.
The fire exit's open.
We'll get someone in.
Let's get that kid out.
What are you going to do? Use this kid to get us out of here.
Let him go, Danny.
Why? He's the only thing we've got.
Shooting him's not going to help us.
Nothing is going to help us.
The cops don't negotiate, Danny.
They'll negotiate with me.
Why? If they don't .
.
I'll shoot him in the head.
Let him go.
What are you playing at? Let him go, or I will shoot you.
You have a sudden attack of the conscience? What the fuck's wrong with you? Your brother is dying and we are going to jail.
Do you think I want to do a life sentence? Sit in the same cell as you? Because the big hard man executes a wee boy.
You know who you should be pointing a gun at, Danny? Remember you held a lighter in front my face? You did the right thing.
You know why? Because I killed your sister's man.
She's the most precious thing in your life.
She's torn in half.
That's down to me.
Danny.
Because I popped Richard Holloway's skull wide open with a baseball bat.
I turned your sister into a grieving widow.
For money.
That was down to me.
So's this.
DANNY! Someone's been shot.
They've taken the target out.
Is the kid all right? He's fine.
We've identified the third gang member, I'm assuming that's your man.
That's our man.
Aren't you going to introduce me to your associate? This is Miss Calder, something of an expert, has connections with a reliable supplier.
She's been murdered.
She's Gill Calder, moved here about six months ago.
She's one of ours.
Compliments to the forger.
We don't want your shit on our doorstep.
I'm in the clear.
The deal's still on.
What are those bruises? She's black and blue.
You're going to lose your fingers one by one.
You were to look out for her.
What did you do? Did you walk out and leave the door open? She's one of my oldest friends.
