I could go on my own.
Help out with the, you know, the food.
I can't explain who you are, Ray.
To the "community"? To everyone.
I hope it goes well.
I'm sorry.
That was a stupid thing to say.
It's OK.

Jordan Rooney was stabbed last night.
He's in a stable condition in hospital, but he hasn't talked yet.
DI Radford's team are taking it on.
Eddie'll be the SPOC between the two teams, but our focus remains on the murder of Saif Rahman.
We need to know who was putting money on the fight in Salford.
Clarkie, I want you to go to all the bookies in town.
Compile a list of names.
We need to know everyone who had money on that fight.
Boss.
Eddie, how are you getting on? Still working our way through CCTV from the night of the murder.
Er, boxing club, haulage yard, Half Moon Bay.
Keep at it, keep us posted.
Jenn, any updates on the family? Saif's funeral's today.
Karen and I are gonna check on the family beforehand.
Look, DI Radford's team are gonna want to talk to Adnan after their run-in at the club.
Well, we're headed to their house now.
Do you want me to have a word? No, no, don't say anything but, er, keep an eye on him.
Yeah? I can't keep arguing with you! I'm exhausted.
- [KNOCK AT DOOR.]
- Shazia? - Only us.
- Oh.
Everything OK? Saif's body has to be washed before the burial.
I don't want Jamal there.
I know it's an honour, but I need you with me today.
I thought you were Shazia.
She's supposed to be driving us to the mosque.
Where is she? Could you drive us? Only, Adnan's with the caterers, and I Yeah, of course.
It's not a problem.
[GULL CALLS.]
[SHOP BELL RINGS.]
All right? - [HE TUTS.]
- What's this all about? Just following a line of enquiry.
We wanna know who put bets on the Rahman/Eccles fight.
Salford Hall, 3rd of May.
Oh, yeah, that that young lad who were murdered.
Surprisingly popular one, that.
I'll need a list of names.
And, erm, I'll need your CCTV.
Well, don't you need a warrant or summat? Why? - Got something to hide? - We do everything by the book here.
Well, that is your job.
Go on, then.
Well, it'll take a while to put together.
Best get started, then.
- Just get that end.
- All right, all right.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES.]
Where have you been? - You said you'd bring us.
- I know, I'm sorry.
We-we were just about to, only there's been so much to do, we've been running round all morning.
Can you stay? Is that allowed? - If that's what you'd like.
- Of course.
- I'll sort you out with headscarves.
- Thanks.
Adnan? Be brave.
Yeah? I will.
Can I, erm, have a word? Yeah.
Something happened last night.
Adnan, before you say anything, remember who I am.
You need to bury your brother today.
I don't want anything to stop that from happening.
I'll be here the whole time.
We can talk afterwards, OK? Adnan? Come on, it's time.
For Saif.
[HE SOBS.]

It'll be all right.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
I know he meant a lot to you too.
SHAKILY: Yeah.
As-salamu alaykum.
Molly.
You think I don't know who he was sneaking in and out of my house all that time? I always wondered when Saif would get round to introducing us.
- I'm so pleased you came.
- Thank you.
[MOLLY SNIFFS.]
I'm sorry for your loss.
He was such a lovely lad, wasn't he? He was a fine young man.
He was a credit to you.
We were so fond of him.
Oh OK.
Allahu Akbar.
Subhanaka Allahumma kama sallaita 'ala Ibrahima kama barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala aali Ibrahim Allahu Akbar.
LOUDSPEAKER: 'Allahu Akbar.

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon faith.

' Hiya, mate.
Hey, erm, you know, if you're, if you're ever at a loose end, erm You know, we've got some, some cracking lunch clubs, you know? There's, there's a gaming club and, erm, and we've also got a drama club.
I was just going to meet the lads.
Oh, good, great.
Cool.
Actually, I don't suppose you have any cash? We're going to go into town.
Oh, yeah, course.
Erm 20 OK? - I'll pay you back.
- Ah, no.
No, hey, enjoy yourself.
Don't worry about it.
Cheers.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Erm, apparently, they're ready to go to the cemetery.
I could drive us, we could just stand back.
Just watch.
Just be there.
I know it must be strange to you, but I'm his mum.
I don't have to stand at his grave to know he's in heaven.
Of course.
- [KNOCKS ON DOOR.]
- Boss? Jordan Rooney's just made a statement.
Everything.
I want you to know something.
Whatever happens I love you.
No.
I I don't just mean I love you cos you're my brother.
I mean, I properly love you.
I know I don't always show it.
But QUIVERING: I Because it's true.
I love you.
[SOBBING.]
[CALL DIALS OUT.]
- Boss? - We've been trying to get hold of you.
Yeah, I know, I'm at the funeral my phone was off.
What's up? Jordan Rooney's come round.
He says it was Adnan that stabbed him.
'Radford's on the way to arrest him.
' He's just leaving the cemetery.
He's on his way to the mosque.
I'm right behind him.
Boss.
Jamal, get out.
Trust me.
Please? - Boss, I just need to talk to him.
- No.
No.
[HE BREATHES HEAVILY, ENGINE REVS.]
If we wanna keep the family on side, if we wanna keep the community on side, we Jenn, it's DI Radford's case, OK? It's out of our hands.
- [TYRES SCREECH.]
- Adnan! Mariam, please just stay MARIAM: What is it? What's happening? Don't make it worse.
What's going on? What's going on? Let me talk to my son.
Let me talk to him! Oh, fuck! Adnan Rahman, I'm arresting you for attempted murder.
Adnan, tell them it's a mistake! I'm sorry, Mum.
- I'm sorry.
- Let him go! Let him go.
Let.
Him.
Go! I'm sorry.
What are you doing? What the hell are you doing?! Can I just see him? Just for a second.
Please? - JENN: Mariam? - Don't! Please sit down.
Eat something.
How do you expect me to eat? Mariam, please.
We have guests.
I don't care.
They're here for Saif, they're here to pay their respects.
- Mariam! - How could you do that to us? If we could talk somewhere more private Oh, now you want privacy, after you've humiliated us in front of everybody! - If we could just - I asked you to be here.
- I asked you to stay.
- I know.
Mariam, none of us wanted this to happen.
It's not Jenn's fault.
I thought I could trust you! You can.
If you would just let me explain Adnan would never hurt anybody.
He was arrested for attempted murder, Mariam.
He's been identified by the victim.
Look, we will get to the bottom of this.
We will find out what the truth is, but my colleagues had no choice but to arrest him.
I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to explain, I'm trying to help.
Then you're failing.
Still cross-referencing some of the anonymous bets but this is most of the people who had money on the fight.
- Any of them ring a bell? - One did jump out.
Vinnie.
He told us he didn't get involved in that side of things.
Yeah, well, he put five grand on Saif on March 21st.
Get down there, talk to him.
Talk to everyone on that list.
Boss.
The the betting pattern was odd though.
Vinnie bet on him to win, but there was loads more money on Saif to lose.
I thought he was favourite? He was, but the week before he died, there was a whole flurry of bets against him.
Doesn't make sense.
- How was it? - His brother was arrested.
What for? That stabbing in town.
It was on the radio.
As if that family haven't been through enough.
That poor woman.
Are you OK? She was great.
She held it together really well.
Why don't I put the kettle on, eh? Are you coming in, Erin, love? - Yeah, if that's all right? - You don't have to ask.
Actually, Dad, erm I think Erin and I are just gonna go upstairs.
Of course, love, whatever you want.
- KYLE: I'd take a cup of tea.
- You've got work to do, Kyle.
You need to get the suspension on that van sorted.
Right.
Come on then.
- All right? - Yeah.
Let's go.
Well, it's not a crime, is it, putting a bet on? So, why didn't you tell us? You've been cooperative up to now, you told us where you were that night, you told us about Warren.
Why not this? I didn't think it was relevant.
You didn't think it was relevant that you had a vested interest in this fight, that you stood to gain financially? - I didn't stand to gain anything.
- So, why did you do it? I did it for the club, to keep this place going.
That was everything I had.
That was it, the lot.
I put it on Saif because I believed in him.
He was the favourite till the week before he died, then suddenly, all the bets are against him.
Why would that have been? I swear to God, I have no idea.
Selina Cross? Depends if you're the health inspector.
Close.
What's happened? We understand you placed a bet against Saif Rahman? Yeah, so? - You a big boxing fan, are you? - Not really.
- So, what's the story? - Just fancied a flutter.
But you bet 30 quid against him? Look, some woman paid me to do it.
- Bunged me an extra tenner on top.
- Who? Dunno.
She works at that Indian.
Balti She does deliveries.
She said it'd be an easy tenner.
- You got a name? - No.
- What she look like? - Middle-aged, Indian.
Ta.
[PHONE RINGS AND VIBRATES.]
- Hiya.
- 'Hey.
' I'm just going through CCTV from the haulage yard.
Thing is, there is another way out around the back.
And the night Saif was murdered, Kareem went out that way.
'He left at 9:21, 'didn't get back till 10:24.
' Shit.
So much for the work rota.
Right, thanks for letting me know.
Thank you.
I'll put it in the car.
I need to ask you something.
- Yeah, what's that? - It won't take long.
Night of Saif's murder, CCTV shows you leaving work for a bit.
Look, can we do this some other time? You know, I've just buried my nephew.
I understand that, and I'm sorry.
But, no, it can't wait.
So, Sunday night? Yeah.
I was on a break.
I nipped out to grab some chips.
- Where from? - It's a place on the prom.
Whereabouts exactly? Just, erm near the clock tower, there's a late-night takeaway.
Was that everything? Only I promised the imam I'd clear up.
Yeah, I'll check this out.
- Thank you.
- Thanks a lot.
No, jaan.
What can we do? What did the imam say? I didn't know he could sign.
Because of you? I didn't even know you knew him.
Why? [SHE SCOFFS.]
Help with what? Why couldn't you come to me if you needed help? So, all those times you snuck out of the house, all those times you said you were studying, you've been lying to me? [ANGSTY MUSIC PLAYS ON PHONE.]
How was it? Really? Yeah, it was great (!) Five stars.
Would recommend.
You know what I mean.
It was horrible.
- Mum says turn it down.
- Does she bollocks.
- You ask her then.
- I will.
Dickhead.
Mum?! Mum! - Can I have a drop of that? - It's, erm It's Molly's.
Kyle, stop pissing about! Get down here! [MUSIC STOPS, PHONE BEEPS.]
I wanna see my son.
I told you, that's not possible.
I know he's here.
I'm not leaving here till I see him.
- Mariam? - All right, come on.
Oh, I don't wanna talk to you.
I know I'm the last person you wanna see right now, but this is my job, this is my turf, maybe I can help.
I don't want your help.
Look, if you want me to step off the case, that's fine, I can do that.
We can get you another FLO.
You'll never have to see me again, or Karen.
But right now, I'm here.
What can I do? I need to talk to Adnan.
I'll see if I can set up a phone call.
I have to monitor the call.
The desk sergeant will be doing the same.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Adnan? I'm sorry, Mum.
I'm so sorry.
'I didn't mean to do it.
' It was him who had the knife.
He went for me.
It just 'got out of control.
'I phoned the ambulance.
'I waited till they arrived and' I just keep fucking up! 'Adnan!' - First Saif and now this.
- Saif? I should've been there for him.
It's not your fault, love.
You were right.
The wrong son died.
No, don't say that.
You haven't had it easy.
I put too much pressure on you.
No, you never.
It wasn't on you to be the man of the house when dad died.
You were just a kid.
But we'll sort this, Adnan.
We'll talk to the lawyer, - we'll do everything we can.
- Time's up.
I have to go.
OK.
OK.
I love you.
Do you hear me? Yeah, Mum.
I love you, too.
Thanks.
I've had the same info from several sources.
They say it was a middle-aged Asian woman, and someone recognised her from doing deliveries for Balti.
Do you think it was Mariam? We can see what we can find out, but I don't see her betting against her own son.
She wasn't even involved in that side of his life.
She never even went to see him fight.
She was afraid of him getting hurt.
Who else works at the restaurant? You'd tell me if you were in trouble? Course I would! I've never seen this much money before.
I mean, how much is there? About two grand.
Saif asked me to keep it here for a bit.
And how did he get two grand? Cash-in-hand stuff, he said.
What job pays that much money? It was gonna be towards a holiday.
He said if his family found out, they'd just buy a fridge or some shit.
He wanted to do something just for us.
And what are you gonna do with it now? I don't know.
[YOUNG MEN CHATTER.]
Stabbed in the gut like that.
- He's never gonna be right again.
- I know, I know.
He's gonna be shitting in a bag the rest of his life.
What?! I dunno, one of them colostomy bags or whatever.
Fuckin' hell.
Look who it is.
How's your brother? He stabbed our mate.
Hey! I'm talking to you.
Are you fucking deaf? Fucking comedian.
Who said you can go, eh? We're talking to you, big man.
Come on, dickhead! That's for Jordan! [MUFFLED THUDS.]
[CAR TYRES SQUEAL, HORN HONKS.]
- Who the fuck's that? - Get away from him! I said fucking get away from him! If you come near him again, I'll fucking kill you! [BAT CLATTERS.]
- Are you all right? - [HE SOBS.]
Are you all right, son? Come on.
Let's get you home.
- Agh! - Sorry.
Sorry, don't tell her? She's gonna know anyway.
I mean, I-I'll do what I can, but I can't work miracles.
Tell you what, though, those lads are lucky it was me turned up and not her.
She'd have skinned them alive.
Anybody so much as raised a finger to one of her boys, she'd be down on them like a ton of bricks.
I'm not kidding.
She'd do anything for you lads, your mum.
Especially you.
Baby of the family! I'll always be second best.
But you know what? I don't mind.
That's the way it is.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
Jamal? What happened? It looks worse than it is, love.
- Some lads jumped him.
- What lads? Dunno.
A couple of little shits.
Never seen them before.
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
[RINGS DOORBELL.]
What is it? What's wrong? Come in, please.
Course you're not fine.
He's not fine.
I'm just glad I was there, that's all.
Hi.
Did you know them, these lads? [PHONE VIBRATES.]
- I'll get onto the station.
- Thanks.
Sorry.
Let me help.
Here.
It's all right.
OK.
- Sorry.
- That's OK.
- Hey, can I ask you something? - Course, yeah.
Sorry, I Here you go, love.
They try to hide it, but everybody knows.
- We just don't talk about it.
- I'm sorry.
Sorry, you wanted to ask me something? Yeah, do you ever help Mariam out at the restaurant? Yeah, course.
From time to time.
- We all do.
It's a family business.
- What do you do? Mariam's the cook in the family, I was never very good at that kind of thing.
I just help out with deliveries and that.
During lockdown, that was the only thing kept us going.
Why? Shazia, we know that someone was getting people to bet against Saif.
Was that you? It was just a way of making some extra money.
It were Kareem's idea.
Saif was the favourite.
Why bet against him? He was gonna throw the fight.
Kareem gave him two grand to take a fall in the third round.
They sorted it all out between 'em.
Saif were up for it.
Please don't tell Mariam.
It'll break her heart.
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
Stay there.
Look, I can't talk right now, I'm at work.
What? Christ! It's OK.
Go.
I'll take care of things.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
'You have reached the voicemail of' [PHONE RINGS.]
- 'You have reached the voicemail' - Urgh! Is he back yet? No, and he's-he's still not answering his phone, but I spoke to the lads that he said he was gonna see and they had no plans and they hardly know him.
Mum, what's happened? Conor hasn't been in touch with you, has he, sweetheart? No.
- And he never said anything to you? - No, nothing.
What's going on? It's OK.
Just take yourself to bed.
- But - Maddie, please.
There's nothing to worry about, I promise.
Go on.
- [DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
- Conor?! No, sorry to disappoint you.
- Conor's gone missing, love.
- Have you heard from him? - No.
- Did anything happen at school? Not that I know of.
I swear, I've not seen him since this morning.
Yeah, and you weren't exactly lovely to him then, were you? So, what now, you want to call the police? - Not yet.
- Right.
So, what next? I'm gonna ring his dad.
[HE GROANS.]
What do you pray for at the mosque? Why? You don't have to worry about me.
[KNOCKS.]
He'll be all right, yeah? Guy hasn't heard from him.
I mean, where can he be? He doesn't have any friends here, family.
He doesn't even know his way around! Shit.
What? I gave him some cash.
I gave him 20 quid.
- What?! - Yeah.
He could be halfway to fucking anywhere! Jenn Hang on, I'll come with you.
Who'll look after the girls, then? [DISTANT SIRENS.]
