Original subtitles

Whatever mess you're in, whoever you're working for

you keep Harry out of it.

I want what you've got.

You start work for me here, tomorrow.

DCI Virdee, tell them what you did.

Pawa? Bradford's most violent kingpin.

Alastair, I'm gonna get you out of here.

Now the game begins.

Hm?

I have a different deal for you, Officer Sharma.

Do you wanna be boss of this prison

or the most powerful man in the whole Punjab?

Help me escape

get back to England.

This isn't about power.

Harry Virdee, 39, GCS 10, multiple wasp stings to torso and neck.

Anaphylactic response.

Start IV adrenaline and prep the chlorphenamine.

Someone page the anaesthetist in case we need an airway.

Let me help.

Saima, you need to leave please.

- No, let me help. - You know you can't. Step out.

I'm not leaving him.

Harry?

Harry, it's me, it's Saima.

You're gonna be OK. I'm not going anywhere, alright?

SOCO will sweep this place when they've finished with Henford's house.

Looks like he hasn't been in there for months.

The extermination team's just left.

Apparently it's safe to go in.

Let's go.

Any news on DCI Virdee?

No.

He's covered in leeches.

It's Matthew Henford, the owner of this place.

Pawa's former accountant.

He testified at his trial.

We found him collapsed on the street

outside a suspect's house.

We're lucky we got to him in time.

How did you not know where he was?

He didn't have his radio.

Why not?

Why didn't he have his radio?

The decision was made to suspend him from duty.

What? Why?

I can't say.

- It's for Harry to tell you. - Oh.

I just can't say.

Right.

Saima?

Dad?

How are you?

Are you OK?

Dr Azhar called me.

She told me what happened.

- How's he doing? - He's stable.

It looks very serious.

Does his family know?

I can't deal with them right now.

Especially not his dad.

Not after the way he's treated us.

Come on.

You need a break.

Let's step outside and get some fresh air, huh?

Yeah, alright.

Right.

I'm worried Vasil's gonna retaliate.

Maybe you should lay low for a while. Work from home.

Work from home?

Nothing's gonna happen to me.

What's wrong?

Got a lot going on.

Big shipment coming in, new kid starting, that's all.

It's been a while since I've seen you like this.

Harry?

The past, Soph, it never goes away.

Every decision we make has to be answered for.

Why are you doing this?

Did you kill him?

The detective?

Hello?

Who is this?

Boardman, I have your son.

What do you want?

I intend to surrender.

At City Park tonight with Alastair, unharmed.

On one non-negotiable condition...

DCI Harry Virdee.

Not exactly who I wanted to wake up to.

Pretty sure you've woken up to worse faces than mine.

Drove your car here.

Parked it outside.

How bad was I?

Shit tonne of stings. Anaphylactic shock.

We found Henford.

Been dead a while.

Covered in parasitic leeches.

What about Alastair?

Gone.

Any ID on the suspect?

I mean, he hit me over the head with a gun then stuck it in my mouth

before I passed out.

I can't be certain, but it looked like Jai Pawa.

I thought we got confirmation that he was still in Punjab Central Prison.

We did.

Unless it was fake.

Get on that, yeah?

Something's not adding up.

I was just leaving.

Harry wasn't certain, but he said the guy who attacked him looked like Pawa.

Contact the British Consulate in Punjab.

I need them to interview whoever took this video.

What are you thinking?

That there's a wider conspiracy at play here.

Find out what happened at my tearoom yesterday.

- Boss. - Someone is going to pay for this.

Yes, boss.

Ateeq?

Tell me.

Look, I got into contact with Bradford West

and the whole abduction thing made them trust me.

The boss is called Riaz Hyatt

and he'll be at this location today.

Hey.

Our plan, it worked.

My tea room was hit yesterday.

I'm thinking it was Bradford West.

You know anything about this?

If I knew anything, you'd know.

Listen, I've done what you asked.

Ten grand. For you.

OK? You go now.

You are a real soldier for Vasil.

Take out this Riaz Hyatt.

And the kid?

You know what to do with him.

City Park is being shut down

businesses closed, and an evacuation order is in place.

British Consulate have confirmed.

Jai Pawa escaped from prison and those videos were faked.

I think Jai Pawa's here

and he's got Alastair.

Get a team, find Sophie Brodenham

and any other members of Pawa's crew

who co-operated with the prosecution then disappeared into witness protection.

We're running out of time. We need to go and see Harry.

Tell him about the call.

Sir, our job isn't to give criminals what they want.

We can't just shut down the city for one man.

Our job is to save my son.

How you feeling?

Like I've had the shit kicked out of me.

Conway said you were suspended.

Well, it's just...

He needs to rest.

Who... whoever's done this to you

has contacted me directly.

He's ready to surrender and release Alastair.

But he's got conditions.

He claims he'll surrender tonight in City Park

and release Alastair, but

only to you, Harry.

Now, he says he won't be armed.

No!

Not a chance.

You can't seriously be considering this.

I thought he was suspended.

Well, that's been rescinded.

The suspension was a misunderstanding.

You're really gonna walk back into the hands of the man

- who put you in here in the first place? - You'd have full tactical support.

Please!

My son's life is at risk.

Excuse me.

Saima.

Sai? Saima, wait, man!

Why did they suspend you?

Our suspect forced me to confess I'd murdered someone.

Conway had no choice while they investigated.

Why would he get you to do that?

What are you asking me?

Whoever's doing this has got a grudge against me.

My family. That's all I know.

Has it got anything to do with this?

I've already given Riaz his back.

I have been going over and over this

trying to rationalise why you've been talking to Riaz using a burner phone.

What the fuck is going on, Harry?

That's something you need to ask Riaz.

I have asked him. And now I'm asking you.

You deserve the truth, Saima.

But right now, Alastair's life is in danger

so I just... I need you to trust me.

Please.

We both know you're gonna do this

regardless of what I say.

Riaz, where you at?

- I need a one-to-one. - About Saima?

- She knows. - Meet me at the warehouse.

Hello, boss.

Alright, boss.

I told you, I don't do minimum wage shit.

Nothing wrong with minimum wage shit.

Is that how you started, yeah?

Nah.

I grafted for free in my dad's corner shop.

Everyone does that.

Maxed out in some dead end job, that ain't living.

What do you know about living?

- Choices and that, innit. - What sort of choices?

Ones that give you options.

A good education does that.

I've got a juvie record.

That door's closed.

I were hitting good grades though.

New crowd. New vibe.

Shit happens.

Yeah, shit happens.

Why'd you say Vasil lifted you?

I wanted to switch to you lot, Bradford West.

I was sick of not climbing the ladder in Vasil's crew.

But you know the game.

No switching.

I was making moves to bring some others with me.

Vasil wanted to send a message.

I were like you once.

I had prospects. Got taken.

Know why I got in this game?

Money?

- Power? - Nah.

People. Family. Ethics.

Nah, kids should be kids, not runners.

You've seen how Vasil does things. I do it different.

I create real jobs from all this.

You'll see.

I entered this world to change it.

Understand?

You're a good kid, Ateeq. Now, crack on.

It's not minimum wage.

It's me trusting you.

Riaz!

Riaz!

Is he still breathing?

Thanks for meeting me.

It's alright. It sounded important on the phone.

I wanted to ask you about something.

Mm-hmm?

Who were Paul King?

Where did you hear that name?

I wanted to see if the 420 on my neck were something to do with your old shop

so I went there yesterday.

Tara, don't you think you should be taking it easy?

Look

when I arrived, Uncle Harry and your Riaz were there.

I heard them talking about something.

They were angry.

And something about this Paul King.

He were a thug who robbed our shop in 2001

when the riots were happening.

Nearly killed me mum, but Riaz...

- Murdered him. - Yeah.

It was self-defence.

Look...

Do you not think all this is connected?

Er...

What do you mean?

I don't think Harry and Riaz are the men we think they are.

Saima's father.

This morning, when I was getting ready to come here

I was wearing my shalwar kameez.

Then, I changed into these.

You know why?

Thirty years ago, I bought a shop on Lammington Lane.

Very difficult in those days.

Very difficult, fully white area.

I thought if I dress like the white man

then maybe they'll see me just like them.

Maybe they'll be nicer to me.

This morning, when I was coming here to see you

it felt like those times again.

If I wore my shalwar kameez

you would see only a Muslim man

and not Ubaid.

I've cleared the whole floor, let's get you in the office.

RIAZ GROANS - Easy.

There you go, sit down there.

Come on.

That's it.

We should blue light him.

And say what? He got shot in a fucking drive-by?

What do you reckon that does to us all?

What do you reckon it does to this place, eh?

It's stuck in your arm.

Riaz, let me call this in.

No.

I'm gonna have to take it out, stop the bleeding.

- You good? - Do it.

Pin him.

Alright.

This is gonna hurt.

Shit!

- Come on. - Almost there.

Got it!

Get me a pen. I'll make a tourniquet.

Easy. Easy.

What do you want from me?

I want you to let go what Harry and Saima did.

Look. Look where we are.

How long have we got left, hmm?

We are the generation whose hearts were back in our homeland

but our minds were trying to figure a way out

on how to lead a new life.

We may not have got everything we wanted

but we moved here for more choices.

Then to deny our children the most important choice?

My late wife used to say

if we don't embrace change

then we will always lose.

The greatest gift Aaron has?

He will never know any of this pain.

He won't drown in history.

He'll have his own identity.

English? Indian?

Pakistani? Who knows.

Who cares?

What did you say to Saima?

Do you know what it is, yeah?

I told her exactly the same as I'm telling you now.

Stay away from me.

Stay out of my business.

I'm dropping every fucking body Vasil's got.

You make that move, everything changes.

I told you before, Harry.

There can only be one king in this city.

Riaz.

Look at me.

You do this

you'll never be the same again.

Trust me.

Time for you to leave.

I've done what you asked.

Put the word out that Vasil's got his man.

As of now

you're dead.

I'm going to look into who gave away our location.

Vasil will drop his guard. That's when we take him out.

Get the team ready.

Time frame?

Within 48 hours.

- What about a medic? - En route.

Send everyone home.

We need to lay low.

Meet me back at the house.

Done.

Is it done?

Yeah.

You got him. He's dead.

What are you doing?

Please. Let me go.

What are you gonna do with that?

Some deaths need to be slow.

Some deaths

are worth savouring.

Please, just... please let me go.

ARUs will be surrounding the perimeter.

A final recap before you're all dismissed.

Snipers will be positioned here and here.

ARUs will be surrounding the perimeter.

We have locked down the perimeter around City Park

and have roadblocks set up on all routes which our suspect could use.

Our suspect claims he will not be armed

but we will abort if we are not satisfied.

Let's get to it.

Dismissed.

- Is me firearm ready, yeah? - Whoa. We're arming Virdee?

Yes. As a precaution.

We can't take any risks dealing with this murderer.

Let's bring Alastair home.

Riaz?

Yeah, let me grab it from the office.

Shit!

Who are you?

I'm Saima, Riaz's sister. I'm just waiting for him.

Riaz is busy, can't see you right now.

I'll tell him you came round, alright?

Right.

- Doctor's done a good job, considering. - I pay him enough.

Enzo's just told me there's a big police operation in City Park tonight.

Whole area's on lockdown.

I need to go.

Where?

We take Vasil tonight

while the police are distracted.

I'm going with them.

Look at the state of you. Are you crazy?

It's time me and Vasil came face-to-face.

Time I got my hands dirty.

How did it go?

OK.

They've got Vasil.

They'll be here in ten minutes.

We also know who the snitch is.

Want 'em here?

I'm running the operation tonight, Harry.

I won't have UKCA all over this, not with one of mine on the line.

If you feel any threat, you do not hesitate

you use your weapon.

He won't get the better of me again.

Come on, move!

Out!

Put them in the loading bay.

Fuck you!

Vasil is not afraid to die!

You wanted to play gangster, yeah?

Then play.

Well, go on.

What are you waiting for? Shoot him.

Take his life.

What's wrong, hmm?

I told you before.

Kids don't belong in this world.

The fuck do you know about being a kid in this city?

I never had a choice in all this.

Well, you wanted the leader of Bradford West.

You've got him.

This is only the beginning for you.

When my death comes...

Everyone in position?

Alpha Team, standing by.

How are you feeling, Harry? Over.

Solid.

Aerial unit have a visual, Harry.

He's in a Ford Transit van

on Manchester Road, over.

Van approaching. He's pulling into the square.

Received, over.

Remember what I said, Harry. Any threat, use your weapon.

Copy that.

Confirm visual on the suspect.

Negative.

Window's blacked out, over.

Standby, everyone.

All units standing by.

- I Door s opening. - I see it.

I've got eyes on Alastair.

Move.

Confirming, suspect appears to be Jai Pawa. Over.

There's some sort of device on Alastair's neck, over.

Any sudden moves, and his head comes off, Harry.

Alpha Team, there's no clear visual on the device.

We do have a clear shot. Please advise, over.

Negative. We need more detail on the device. Over.

We still have the shot.

Clear line of sight on the suspect.

Does anyone have a visual on the device? Over.

I have.

The device is around Alastair's neck with a wire connected to Pawa's hand.

Might be a dead man's switch. Do not take the shot on Pawa.

I repeat, do not take the shot. All teams acknowledge, over.

Acknowledged. Over.

Jai Pawa!

Stop there!

Stop there!

Lift up your shirt.

Show me you're not wired.

No wires. No explosive vest, over.

Move.

DCI Virdee.

We meet again.

Let Alastair go.

You got what you asked for.

Exactly as I imagined.

Take your earpiece out and throw it away.

Why?

I want to talk to you.

Just us.

Do it.

Or.

I let go of this button

and Alastair dies.

If you remove it, we will have no comms...

There. Now let him go.

Don't let go.

Good luck.

Alastair, walk slowly.

Don't look back, you're doing really well.

Go. On your knees! Now!

Hands behind your head!

Get Alastair out of there!

- Here they come. - On your fucking knees!

Hostage appears unharmed.

Where did you get this?

It's Saima's.

You didn't really think this was over, did you?

I have Saima in my possession.

And if you tell anyone I have her

she dies.

You're lying.

You have the necklace, Harry.

Now, Harry

we'll see just how far you'll go to save her life.

What do you want?

Vengeance.

Pawa's got Saima. He's gonna kill her.

We do this, put everything on the line

you work for us.

Bring Sophie to me.

She will die at my hands.

Or Saima dies.
