Who was there? And how did he end up dumped in the bay?

He had a bright future ahead of him, you know? Just about to turn pro.

Big bout in Salford in three weeks.

And now...

The haulage yard where Saif worked, and his uncle Kareem,

that's in Half Moon Bay.

Clocked off at midnight. Went straight home. I were knackered.

It's his first week, so just be nice to him.

MOLLY:'What's his deal? So why's he here?'

Guys?

If you wanna fit in... I don't want to fit in.

Conor... I want to go home.

He made something of himself, not like you.

Yeah, now he's dead, so... Don't!

You think you're better than me? I'm warning you.

Mate, leave it.

Have you heard from Auntie Shazia?

No. She said she'd be here first thing.

It's gonna be hard... seeing him like that.

But it's a blessing.

I'm not doing this for God, Mum.

I'm doing it for Saif.

Do you want some of this? Thank you.

You don't have to sit on your own.

Yeah, don't you get enough of that at school?Erin!

Do you wanna go to Molly's tonight or what?

No, I do. So stop, please.

Sorry about that. It's OK. We'll just leave it.

So, what's happening? What's going on?

I'm going round Sarah's.

Oh, yeah, you've got your first invite.

What are you gonna do?

Chippy tea to line the stomach and hit a few clubs.

CHUCKLING

Oh, very... Yes, very good! What about you, Conor?

Kevin in my form asked me to go to the arcade.

Oh, Kevin Twomey or Kevin Powell?

I mean... It doesn't... They're both good lads, so...

That's great, sweetheart.

See, we're getting there.

I know. I know. I just picked up a few bits and pieces.

Only I noticed there wasn't much in the fridge.Thank you.

Is there anything else I can do?

I could drive you over there.

Shazia's taking us.

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.

I'll call in on you later? Yeah.

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.

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.

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.

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...

'Ameen.'

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...

Because it's true.

I love you.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
