The Bay (2019) s03e03 Episode Script

What happened? Nothing.
It was just an accident.
What, you accidentally got hit in the face? It's nothing to worry about, honestly.
Was it to do with Saif Rahman? Erin, I can't talk to you about work.
All right, I were only asking.
Jesus.
SHE SIGHS: My God.
[SHE SIGHS.]
Are you all right? Yeah, of course.
Why? Just, I heard about last night.
- The boys were talking.
- I told them not to make a fuss.
Should've given me a call.
I'm good in a scrap.
I fight dirty.
Karen, I'm fine.
- [DI MANNING.]
: Morning.
- Are you OK? Oh, right, so everybody knows? Small town.
Forensics have confirmed that the blood found out the back of the boxing club was Saif Rahman's.
We can't be certain it's where he died, but it's definitely a site of interest.
We've also found his phone, only it's badly damaged.
Tech are trying to work on it now.
But I also heard this morning from the exhibits officer, and the lab has found some fibres on Saif's clothing, caught in the zip of his top.
They look like carpet fibres.
We've sent them off to try and find out more.
I will keep you posted.
Eddie.
We've been collating CCTV and witness statements, trying to reconstruct Saif's movements on the night.
He gets a bus to the gym, getting on at Longlands Road at 25 to seven and off at Waterloo Terrace at quarter two.
We see him again, heading for the gym at ten to seven.
But we don't see him again.
What we now know is that he went round the back, which is, unfortunately, a CCTV black spot, so no joy there.
We do know, though, that his training session finished at nine.
So, what happened to him out the back of the club, yeah? Who was there? And how did he end up dumped in the bay some time before midnight? MUSIC: ['THE BAY' BY SAMUEL SIM.]
Erm, Jenn - Erm, about Adnan - Yeah, boss, I know you said I didn't need to go down there, but because it was a family thing Oh, no, no, no, I don't mean that.
Uniform have checked, and CCTV confirms, he was at the Festival Market lockup that night between 8:45 and just after midnight.
- So that means we can rule him out? - Well, he still lied to us.
Yeah, he's got history with the police.
He doesn't trust us.
We can rule him out as a person of interest, but he wants to watch himself.
Are you sure you're all right? I wish people would stop asking me that.
Sorry, I'm fine.
Honestly.
- Oh, sorry, did we wake you? - You must be joking.
Haven't slept a wink since it happened.
Oh, sorry, I, er haven't had a chance to tidy up.
- It's OK, I've seen worse.
- You want to see my gaff.
- Look, why don't we just, erm? - No, no, that's not your It's all part of the service.
All jobs included, very competitive prices.
I don't want you cleaning up after me.
Then give us a hand.
Erm, right.
Need any help? Yeah, that'd be great.
Thanks.
Tidy this up, eh? Don't want anybody seeing it like this.
I'm sorry about It's OK.
It was an accident.
Yeah, but I was out of order.
You've just lost your brother.
We looked into your story about the lockup.
- It wasn't a story, it's the truth.
- I know.
We've got you on CCTV.
So, is that it, then? Well, between you and me, my boss is still pissed off about you lying to us.
That didn't do you any favours.
But, yeah, that's it.
You need to keep your nose clean.
Your mum needs you.
Your whole family needs you.
- Did I get you in any shit? - I don't know.
I don't think so.
I can't believe her.
Er, Jenn.
There was no need to drag us in like that, was there? She was just doing her job.
She seems all right.
You don't have to live with her.
I mean, my dad's only known her five minutes and she's moving in, and the kids.
It's just a fucking nightmare.
Shit I'm sorry.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS.]
[HE SIGHS.]
Bloody hell.
What? Nothing.
No, no, come on.
You got something you want to say to me? No.
Who are you to judge me? I'm not judging anybody.
I'm just trying to do the recycling.
Excuse me for thinking about the environment.
Everything OK? Leave me alone.
MAN: Right, love, I better get a shift on.
I'll call you later.
Mind out.
See you later, love.
Just heard back from the Coastguard.
Based on tidal patterns and wind direction, they calculated the most likely place Saif's body went into the bay was along this stretch of coast here between Heysham Cliffs and Half Moon Bay.
We're working closely with them to sweep the area.
House-to-house, CCTV, public appeal, the works.
And now that we've got a crime scene at the boxing club, we're mapping every route between there and the area we think Saif's body was dumped.
We have got our work cut out.
Boss, the haulage yard where Saif worked, and his Uncle Kareem, that's in Half Moon Bay.
I know.
You better get down there.
Find out if there's a link.
So, you were working with Saif that day? The day he died, right? Yeah, well, I was on the late shift.
He left before me.
What time did you finish? Clocked off at midnight.
And what did you do after? Just went straight home.
I were I were knackered.
And was Shazia still up when you got in? I don't know.
No.
She was she was in bed.
I remember because I woke her up taking my boots off.
She were right pissed off.
Look, what's all this about? - All right? - I didn't know you worked here.
I don't.
I'm just picking up a shipment.
It's a load of farm machinery just in from Warrenpoint.
- Is that all right, Officer? - Don't let me get in your way.
- Was he here on Sunday night? - I don't think so, no.
No, no, he was on the road.
He was on the road.
Mariam said.
Stuttgart or something.
Er, Saif clocked in same as usual, clocked off at half five.
- I already told your colleagues.
- What about Kareem? Kareem? He was on late, clocked off at midnight.
- Can we get a copy of that? - Yeah, yeah, course.
Look, anything we can do to help.
I already gave your colleagues the CCTV.
Cheers.
No, no, like I say, anything we can do, because the lads are gutted about Saif.
- We all are.
He was a good lad.
- So he was well-liked at work? Yeah, yeah.
I mean, he could be a bit full-on, Saif.
How do you mean? Well, just he knew he was going places.
He used to talk about it, about how he was going to get out of here, kick the shit off his shoes.
The lads took the piss a bit, but he was right, he was going places.
I still can't believe it.
I know.
Erin, can I have a word, please? Thank you.
- Look, if this is to do with Jenn - You'd like her, do you know that? If you actually gave her a chance.
If you made an effort, you'd actually like her.
And why do have to make an effort? Because it's harder for them, that's why.
All right? They're the ones that have had to change everything.
They've moved house, changed schools.
That's not easy.
I know.
And I know it isn't easy for you either, love.
I know.
Look it's his first week, so just give him a chance.
Give him a chance, that's all.
Just be nice to him.
For me.
- [HE CHUCKLES.]
- Go on.
Budge up, then.
Cheers.
Come on.
He was like, I don't know, more than an uncle.
Like a dad almost.
After Saif's own dad died.
Look, erm Junior Youth League.
Senior Youth League.
Er, North West Amateurs.
Kareem was always there.
Mm.
And they've not got any children of their own? Shazia and Kareem? No.
No, they tried for years, but Mm.
Who's that? Oh that's Ritchie.
He was Saif's sparring partner.
He was at the house the other day.
Yeah.
Well, they were mates, they went to school together.
Oh, God, look at him.
Just look at him.
Do you have kids? Yeah, a boy and a girl.
Oh.
I can't even imagine I can't even No.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yeah? Hey.
- Erm, is everything OK? - No, yeah, it's fine.
It's just Kieran told me he saw you.
He told me that you were coming to the thing, the graduation.
Yeah, erm is that all right? No, it's good, I'm glad.
Obviously, it's a big day, and he wants you to be there.
'We all want you to be there.
' Yeah, well, like I said to Kieran, you know, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
- You won't - What? spoil it? 'It's just it's his big day, and I don't want anything kicking off.
' Jesus Christ, Ellen.
- No, I know, but - What do you take me for? Yeah, you say that, but last time, at Christmas - No, Christmas - Boss? Oh, sorry, I didn't No, no, you're fine.
I'm done.
Listen, erm, I can't talk about this right now.
I'm at work.
- 'Tony?!' - What's up? I just wanted to check, who's doing the interviews at the boxing club? Clarkie.
He's down there now.
Why? He might want to talk to Ritchie.
He was Saif's sparring partner.
Apparently, they were close.
- I'll give him a shout now.
- Cheers.
Everything OK? Yeah.
Yeah, good.
And busy.
Why would he have gone round the back way, though? I honestly don't know.
I'd already left by then.
I've told your colleagues this.
So who locked up that night if you'd already left? Shirin.
Shirin Persaud.
She's on the youth team.
She, er, helps out about the place.
He got a call.
He had his phone and he seemed, I don't know bothered.
- Bothered? - Like, distracted.
- What time was this? - Er, around nine, must've been.
He'd had a shower, I remember his hair was wet, and then, er, he went out the back way.
And then what? I just left.
I put the alarm on and went home.
Why didn't you tell us about this before? About the phone.
I don't know.
I didn't think of it.
I'm sorry.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Boss? OK.
Is there somebody called Ritchie here? [HE GRUNTS.]
Ritchie! Ritchie! Somebody here to see you.
Were you here that night? No.
I was at home with my dad and my brother.
They'll tell you.
So, when's the last time you saw Saif? I don't know.
Last week sometime.
I thought you were his sparring partner.
Wasn't he training every night? But I couldn't come in every night, could I? I have to work.
There's a team of us.
Where do you work? Amusement arcade on the prom.
Oh, yeah? Which one? Look, are you gonna find out who did this or what? Yeah, we are.
You're not gonna find 'em here, are you? - Why do you say that? - Cos we're his mates.
He was one of us, Saif.
[DIAL TONE.]
'I'm sorry, but the person you've called is not available.
'Please leave your message after the tone.
' - [BEEP.]
- Hi.
Look, I know I'm not supposed to call you at school, but I just wanted to check you're OK because Well, because I love you, obviously.
And I worry about you.
And I know I shouldn't, I know you're not a kid any more, - but I just - Jenn? Boss has got news.
We'll talk later, OK? I love you.
[RUNNING WATER.]
[TAP SHUTS OFF.]
You all right, babe? Did they talk to you, too? What did you tell 'em? The truth.
Tox report's in.
It shows high levels of testosterone and its metabolites in Saif's bloodstream.
In other words, performance-enhancing drugs, anabolic steroids.
His trainer Warren told us he was taking nothing stronger than vitamin supplements.
Well, that's clearly bollocks.
Clarkie, Eddie, follow up at the boxing club.
Jenn, Karen, talk to the family.
Find out what this kid was into and who knew about it.
MAN: Again, again.
Let's try that one-two.
Yes, nice.
One-two.
Nice and steady, nice and steady.
On your toes, on your toes.
What is it, lads? I'm trying to work here.
Can you come with us, please? What? Why? Just carry on, lads.
Sorry.
Don't mind me.
Knock yourself out.
What's that supposed to mean? [DOORBELL RINGS.]
Who the hell do you think you are? Here we go.
Here it comes.
Looking down your nose at me.
I'm not looking down my nose at anybody.
You want to get pissed, go ahead, get pissed.
I'm not stopping you.
Put your own house in order, instead of having a go at other people.
- I'm not having a go! - Take a leaf out your brother's book.
What, Jamal? No, Saif! Saif's dead, Mum.
Don't you dare.
'What?' 'Don't you dare talk about him like that.
' He made something out of himself.
He worked hard and he made something of himself.
Not like you.
- Yeah, and now he's dead, so - Don't! Go on, then.
Just say it.
Say what? It should've been me.
'Isn't that it?' Isn't that what you're thinking? The wrong son died.
I hear myself lashing out.
It's like I can't stop myself.
I don't mean it.
But the thing is, though, he's right.
I have thought that.
Oh, my God, you must think I'm a terrible person.
No, no, of course not.
I am, though, I must be.
To think that, to say that.
You cannot police every thought that comes into your head.
It's not your fault.
Come here.
You told us Saif was taking vitamin supplements.
- That's right.
- And nothing else.
Not as far as I know.
Only, the post-mortem shows high levels of testosterone and its metabolites in Saif's bloodstream.
- I don't know what that means.
- I'll tell you what it means.
It means performance-enhancing drugs.
I don't know anything about that.
Right, so you worked with him day in, day out, but you don't know anything? We need to know where Saif was getting this stuff, who was supplying it, because if he'd got in with the wrong people I don't know.
I-I can't help you.
If Saif had got mixed up in that kind of shit, that's his lookout.
It's nothing to do with me.
I'd like to talk to DI Manning.
I didn't know what was going on.
Well, that's not true, not really.
I knew something was up, I just didn't know what exactly.
- So you turned a blind eye? - I was thinking about the club.
Keeping the place going, keeping the doors open.
We were just starting to rebuild things.
- Why didn't you come to us before? - I'm here now, aren't I? I'll tell you everything I know.
Even if it means throwing your mate Warren under the bus? Mm.
Aye.
No.
No, definitely not.
I'm sorry, Mariam, but the post-mortem showed there were high levels of anabolic steroids in his bloodstream.
Had you noticed anything, picked up on anything? Anything he said or? No.
No.
I should have, though, shouldn't I? I'm his mum.
If there was something wrong, I should've seen, I should've known.
If he was doing drugs, if he'd got in with the wrong crowd, if he was in trouble.
You can't know everything, Mariam.
OK, so further information's come to our attention.
Information clearly implicating you in the supply of illegal performance-enhancing drugs to Saif Rahman.
What's this got to do with Saif dying? He got his head kicked in, for fuck's sake! It's got nothing to do with performance enhancing anything, has it? It's some fucking chancer having a go.
Some random bloke kicking t'fuck out of him! Well, let's talk about the drugs, Warren.
What do you know about them? It was Saif's idea.
It was to give him an edge.
OK.
Where did they come from? You can buy anything online if you know where to look.
I found this website.
But it was his idea, it was him pushing for it.
Why? He was under a lot of pressure, you know.
It was getting to him.
What kind of pressure? There was a lot of money riding on that fight.
JENN: 'We'll talk later, OK? I love you.
' It were in here at lunch break.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey.
Where are you going? - Town.
- Right.
Cool.
You wanna come? Yeah, yeah, go on, then.
Come on.
Adnan.
What? I wanted to ask you something.
Wanted to ask you to do something.
When he comes home Saif when we get him home I want you to take care of things.
The ablutions and that.
Really? Well, look, if you don't want to, I can always ask Kareem.
No, no.
Course I want to.
- Cold, innit? - Yeah.
What's his deal? Guys Guys, do you want something? - Sorry.
He's such a - So why's he here? My dad.
Shit, it's them.
Who is it? Molly? Whoa! Watch yourself! Guys? Guys? We've been looking into Kareem's whereabouts on the night, and Ray's.
We've confirmed Kareem worked till midnight, then he went straight home, and Ray was on the road back from Stuttgart.
OK.
Thanks, Jenn.
So that leaves Warren and Vinnie and the gym.
We need to look into the money angle, talk to the bookies, find out who had money on this fight.
Who stood to gain and who stood to lose.
We know we know Saif was under pressure, that's why he was taking these PEDs, but they're illegal, they're dangerous, they're not something you go into lightly.
So could that be why Saif Rahman died? Because of the fight in Salford? We've also been following up on the search of the crime scene and surrounding area.
Eddie.
Right, Uniform spoke to a witness who saw a car pulling into the gym's car park around ten that night.
Struck her as odd cos the gate's usually locked at that time, the gym's closed.
So we've been looking into routes between there and Half Moon Bay.
We pick this black car up on Fenton Street, not far from the boxing club, around ten past ten.
It's doing, like, 30 in a 20 zone.
Nothing out of the ordinary, not some boy racer doing 80.
We pick it up again here at the junction of Victoria Street and Elmwood, heading out of town.
Then we lose it for a bit.
And that's the thing, cos whoever it is, they're not taking the obvious routes, they're going by the back streets, the B roads.
- Where there's not cameras.
- Yeah.
We pick it up again here, heading south.
And again here, Half Moon Bay.
Then nothing.
You're out in the wilds there, very little coverage, which, again, feels like it's kind of the point.
We can't quite make out the reg, but it does have this distinctive paintwork, this stripe down the side of it.
Might help narrow it down.
- What make is it? - It's a BMW, 5 Series.
And the lab's got back to us.
The fibres found on Saif's clothing are a match for a kind of material found in a number of specific models of car, including this one.
- The seats? - The interior of the boot.
- We need to find this car.
- Wait, hang on.
Can you rewind that, please? Stop.
There's two of them.
There's two people in the car.
'It's, er, it's seafood, it's all from the bay.
'You eat seafood, don't you?' Wait, hang on, do you do you not eat seafood? Of course I eat seafood, you lemon.
You've seen me eat seafood.
Yeah, well, it's either that or McDonald's.
'Taxi's going to be here in half an hour, - 'so do you want me to pick you up?' - Er, no.
I've got a few things to finish up.
I'll meet you down there, yeah? Yeah, OK.
Yeah, no worries.
Bye.
Pub? It's the boss's shout and the whole team's going.
Oh, yeah.
No, I can't.
Well, you don't want to miss this, it's like a historic event, and I can't remember the last time he put his hand in his pocket.
I'd love to, but I've got a thing.
Sorry.
- Boss.
- Clarkie.
- You all right? - Yeah.
Actually, you know what, Karen? I'd love to.
You've twisted my arm.
Ooh, I love a quiz.
[THEY CHUCKLE.]
Question number three is, in Doctor Who, what is the name of the Doctor's home planet? Gallifrey.
In the constellation of Kasterborous.
You're a massive fucking nerd, Eddie.
What? Everybody knows that.
It's not like some arcane knowledge.
Question number four.
Who is the oldest? One sec.
Babe! - What'll you have? - Ah, after the day I've had? A bottle of wine and whatever you're having yourself.
Now you're talking.
- Let's get wankered.
- [THEY LAUGH.]
Thank you.
So how are you settling in? Hm.
What, that bad? No, no, it's just it's been a bit of a whirlwind.
- Haven't had time to get my bearings.
- Mm.
- And what about the kids, the family? - It's early days.
It's a big change for them, but you know what kids are like - they adapt.
I think it's harder for grown-ups, big changes like that.
Mm.
What about you? Have you got a family? I I did have.
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Oh, shit, no, no.
They're not dead.
- It's - Oh, Christ! - I thought you meant - No.
God, no.
- I'm just divorced, that's all.
- Oh, Jesus.
Thank God for that! - Bloody hell! - I know! Oh, sorry, sorry.
- Erm, you were saying - Yeah.
Erm, yeah, divorced.
Two kids, both grown up now, - flown the coop.
- Hm.
Big change.
I'm divorced, too, as it goes.
And I've got two kids, so snap.
- How long have you been divorced? - Three years now, nearly four.
And what about your ex? How do you get on? Fine, yeah.
Good.
He's great with the kids.
It's all very grown-up.
You? Yeah, well we're still working things out.
It's not easy.
- Hm, none of it's easy.
- Mm.
I've just been landed with a stepdaughter that hates me.
Yeah, and my wife's shacked up with one of my best mates.
Wow! We're a right pair.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Erm, I'm so sorry.
I'm late.
I've gotta go.
- It's all right.
- Thank you for this.
Thank you, bye.
- See you.
- Bye.
- See you.
- See you.
See you later.
Thanks.
I don't know what we were thinking in this one.
Bloody hell.
Can I ask you something? Yeah.
Did I do something wrong? Just Me and you were mates, and it was like you dumped me.
So did I piss you off, or? - No, course not.
- Then what was it? It was just When I was with Saif, I didn't want to bother with anybody else.
Sorry, that sounds shit.
But it's true.
I loved him.
I-I really, properly loved him.
I can't get my head round it - that he's dead.
He's actually dead.
And somebody did it.
Somebody killed him.
It's It's fucking - Er - Where were ya? - What the fuck?! - I was looking all over the shop! So you just walk in like you own the place? You asked me to go and then you just drop me like an old sock! This is my room in my house, all right? You can't just barge in.
Not everything's about you.
- I'm not saying it is.
- Take a hint, for fuck's sake! - We didn't want you there.
- She asked me.
- Cos her dad made her! - Bollocks.
- What are you even doing here?! - I live here! Why are you always hanging around?! Nobody wants you.
Why don't you just fuck off, yeah? Why don't you just fuck off and leave us alone?! Conor? - Sorry.
- Hey, it's OK.
- Sorry.
- That's all right.
Did you did you start without me? Oh, I went for a quick drink with the guys from work.
That's OK.
Er, you can start as you mean to go on.
Happy anniversary.
Happy 18-month-iversary.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Mm, I can't make it a big one, though.
The kids.
Nah, it's OK.
Erin said that she'll look after Maddie, so Yeah.
- What? - Nothing.
Maybe she just, you know, she wants to help out, so me and you can have a night out together.
Anyway, she's a a good kid, Jenn.
She is.
You know, when you when you get to know her.
It's supposed to be date night.
Shall we not talk about the kids? Yeah.
I've got something for you.
Oh, I didn't know we were doing presents! We're not, we're not.
It's just, erm No, it's not It's not! Don't worry.
It's just a locket.
Oh! You know that night in Manchester when I first met the kids? It's It's nothing.
It's lovely.
Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Thank you, good night.
Cheers, mate.
- Oh! Wait till I get you home.
- We are home.
Get in.
Go, go, go! [THEY LAUGH.]
All right, love? Everything OK? Mum Hey.
Can I come in? What are you listening to? - Just stuff.
- Wow, stuff.
Are you OK? - Only, Maddie said - What? Look, Molly shouldn't have spoken to you like that, but she's going through a lot right now.
She's just lost her boyfriend.
She's - Are you taking her side? - No, it's not about taking sides, - it's about trying to understand.
- You know what? I don't care.
- Conor - And it's not just Molly.
No.
I know.
- I know Erin can be hard work.
- And it's not just that.
It's everything, it's this place.
It's Look, I know it isn't easy, love.
I know that.
It's a big change for everyone, but we've been here before.
It's like when you left St Jude's to go to Central, and that worked out OK.
I mean, it was hard at first, but you got used to it and you found your feet.
Yeah, and then suddenly I had to leave Central and come here.
Brilliant example, Mum, cheers for that (!) OK.
Look, this is coming out all wrong.
I'm just saying that it's gonna take time, and it's gonna take a bit of work.
- It's gonna take some effort, kid.
- So, what, this is my fault? No, I'm not saying that.
If you want to fit in - I don't want to fit in.
- Conor I want to go home.
It's only natural to feel this way.
It's early days.
- You're not listening to me.
- No, I am.
I am.
I hear you.
But we've only just arrived.
Give it a chance.
And so, what, if I give it a chance and I still don't like it, we can just go? We can leave, we can go home? Right.
Who do you fucking think you are? You think you're better than me? I'm not listening to this.
Don't you turn your fucking back on me! I'm warning you.
Look at me! Mate, leave it, all right? Or what? - Ugh! - Get off me! - Ugh! - [STABBING.]
