What the hell was that about, ma'am?

It's the ladies', Clive.

But you coulda killed us.

I didn't, though. We're meant

to leave it for marked cars to intercept.

Yeah, but they didn't, and we lost them.

If you want to drive your career over a cliff,

that's fine, but don't take the rest of us with you.

This isn't bloody "Thelma & Louise."

I'm sorry if I drove a bit fast.

Needs his eyes checked.

Ma'am?

The vehicle did a U-turn just as you lost it

and then was next picked up approaching Sparkbrook

before they lost it again.

Any luck identifying the assailants?

Faces were covered by guerilla masks, ma'am,

but from what DS Edmunds witnessed,

two IC1 males, six-foot-plus, well-built.

Tell them the Superintendent is due to... one sec.

Ray. Patrick.

DI Ray, this is DI Patrick Holden.

He's our kidnapping specialist.

Hi. Hi.

He and his team will be working closely

with you and your team on the case.

I wasn't aware I was being supervised.

This is a high-profile case.

It's standard procedure.

This isn't about you, Ray.

That's not how it seems, ma'am.

Rachita, my team are setting up an incident room

to assist with intelligence and...

Yeah, just tell them to manage it until I get there.

I have to go. Got press to deal with.

Ray.

I think we should clarify who will be doing what

so there's no misunderstandings. Absolutely.

I can assure you we're here to support your investigation.

We'll gather and monitor whatever intelligence we can

regarding the kidnap, so you can crack on

with your investigation into the murder

of Frank Chapman and Megan Parks.

But we should keep lines of communication open.

Of course, the priority being to preserve life.

Looking forward to working with you, Rachita.

OK, so we've already been looking

at his movements just before Frank Chapman's murder,

and we were watching the Mochani shop at the point of the abduction.

I've sent uniform and forensics

to secure the scene and collect any CCTV.

And now we need to build up a comprehensive picture

of his lifestyle, finances, business associates,

his movements and communications

over the past six months.

Our focus should be on the nature of his connection

to the Chapmans, however, we can't rule anything out at this stage.

The Mochanis are relatively new in town,

so it's possible this may be part

of a pre-existing feud from Leicester.

We also need to consider this could be to do

with Rav's time inside, so potentially,

it could be somebody he's upset,

seeking revenge.

He's been Deaf since childhood and wears a hearing aid.

Wasn't aware of that. Can I suggest one

of your team be seconded to us as a conduit,

make sure nothing falls between the cracks of the two teams?

DC Ellis? Happy to, ma'am.

Liam, we need to trace the kidnap vehicle.

Er, there are registered owner details, a builder in Dudley.

Uniform are headed to the address now,

but it looks like they've cloned the plate, ma'am.

OK, well, keep on with ANPR and see if we can track

where it went beyond Sparkbrook. Will do.

OK, we already know a fair amount about Rav Mochani

as a murder suspect in the Chapman case,

but now he's a hostage, and it's possible

he's been taken to be executed.

Either way, I believe there's an imminent threat to life.

Who's she?

DC Ellis.

Charlene. I'm from Homicide.

Anyone could have seen you.

It's OK, Tyler. We've been careful.

Yeah. I did a sweep before.

They're always watching.

Chapmans?

No. Ant & Dec.

Listen, Tyler, no one's forcing you to do anything,

but you know how it works. You help us...

We just do the jobs.

You know, they don't talk about stuff like that in front of us.

But you hear things.

Give us a location, you can get back

to your PlayStation, keep your head down.

There's a warehouse. Where?

Sparkbrook. Do you know where exactly in Sparkbrook?

How's your mum?

What about her?

I hope she's behaving herself.

Be a shame if she ended up back inside,

just when she's got you home.

Nobody's been in touch with any demands or threats?

No.

I want to know everything that's being taken.

Why are you wasting your time here?

You should be out there, looking for him.

Mrs. Mochani, we're doing everything we can to find your son.

We've got specialist officers dealing with it.

Is there anyone that you can think of

that might want to take him for whatever reason?

If I knew that, don't you think I'd get him back myself?

Do you think Frank Chapman's murder

could have anything to do with it?

My brother's a fighter,

not a murderer. But maybe others

think he could be involved in some way?

Every second you're here harassing us

is putting my son's life in danger.

Wrapped up, ma'am.

Can you bag it for DS Edmund, please? Absolutely not.

You're not taking this! It was at the scene at the time

of your son's kidnap, and therefore it's pertinent

to our investigation and we're well within our rights to seize it

and it might have something on there that might help us find him.

You won't find anything. Regardless of what you think of us, Mrs. Mochani,

my number-one priority right now is to find your son,

alive.

My son had nothing to do with Frank Chapman's shooting.

I'm absolutely certain.

What you reckon? Do you believe her?

I believe she's a mother worried sick,

but I don't believe she wants us to find him before she does.

That's why she doesn't want us going through her stuff.

DI Ray.

My source came through. We're heading there now.

Can you send us the location? Yep. Text it to you.

Hey, can you jump in a squad car back to the station and get

that laptop to Liam ASAP? I need to join DI Holden.

They have a tip-off about Rav's possible location.

Ma'am.

Reckon this kid is reliable?

He's terrified, and he's always delivered in the past.

He's looking at five years.

His mum's already been inside.

Boys and their mums.

Armed police!

Armed police! Armed police!

Armed police! Armed police!

Armed police! Armed police!

Clear!

Armed police! Armed police!

Armed police! - Armed police!

Vehicle safety! - Vehicle safety!

Show yourself!

Show yourself! Driver's side clear!

Passenger door clear!

Vehicle empty! - Vehicle empty!

Clear! All clear! - Clear!

Charlene, get Forensics here

and make sure there's a clear path for them. Ma'am.

This is fresh. He's been moved recently.

Can your team supervise a search?

Sure.

Kwesi?

Ma'am. Can you liaise with the team

in the kidnap incident room and see if they can recover

any CCTV footage around the Haverhill Industrial Estate?

We need to track down the vehicle that was used to move Rav Mochani ASAP.

Will do, ma'am. Thanks.

It's got to be the Chapmans.

Any chance your mummy's boy tipped 'em off?

God! His hands are untied!

Ma'am, I've hit a wall with the second vehicle.

It's a CCTV blackspot all around the area.

They knew what they were doing. Well, ask the press office...

to put a call out on social media for sightings

of any vehicles entering or leaving the industrial estate.

Ma'am, something's been found on Rav Mochani's laptop.

Well, who is she? Is she a relative?

This image was sent to Rav by Frank Chapman

via an encrypted messaging service

three days before his murder.

Tech have retrieved four other images of children

that have been deleted.

They all appear to be around the same age.

Same race, by the looks of it.

This is the same girl.

But only this image was sent to Rav by Frank.

Charlene, can you contact the Child Sexual Exploitation team

and get them to start investigating the other images?-

We need to prioritise this girl.

Liam, is there location-tagging on the picture?

Disabled, ma'am.

Well, something was going on

between Frank Chapman and Rav Mochani.

We need to figure out what the hell it was.

Right, OK. Yeah, no problem.

What did they say?

They said their team are already busy dealing

with thousands of images of unclothed children,

so our images are low-priority in comparison.

I just got off the phone with the Super.

Can I see the images, please?

They were pretty firm, ma'am, said, "We have to investigate it"

and only get back to them when we know it's a problem.

We need to speak to the Mochanis and find out about this girl.

Do you think she could be a relative?

Whoever she is, it's the first concrete evidence

we have that Frank Chapman and Rav Mochani have been in communication

and that there have been some conflict and bargaining

going on that could constitute a motive for murder.

This looks like Birmingham. Can you zoom in a little, Liam?

That's the BT Tower.

And the Library.

I'm pretty sure this is taken south of the City Centre.

It's pretty distinctive. Any idea where it is?

Could be somewhere around the Selly Bank Estate, I reckon, ma'am.

Yeah, that's a good shot. Right.

You two narrow down the location

and then prioritise a door-knock for tomorrow.

Kwesi, can you go and speak to the Chapmans?

Clive, can you liaise with SOC and secure a building

near to the Chapman and Mochani residences

so we can set up an observation post?

Everyone slips up, and we need to be there when they do.

Rachita?

It's been a long day, I know.

I don't suppose you fancy a quick drink?

Thank you.

The press are really going after us,

just waiting for the next...- up.

It's why I think Beardsmore's sweating a little.

He never usually takes this much interest.

Anyway... cheers.

Cheers, ma'am.

Know what?

I always thought we could make a difference,

but it feels like nothing's moved on since my dad's time.

He's retired now, but he served for 30 years.

Really? - Public order offences.

Doesn't have the resilience for homicide, but...

he would never let you believe that.

He's ever so proud, is my dad.

Sounds like my mum.

She's a university lecturer who's not teaching

at Oxford and Cambridge, out of choice, of course.

Were your parents supportive of you becoming a police officer?

I mean, they... - I don't mean

from a cultural point of view, I just mean that, well,

well, parents worry about their children's future, don't they?

Yeah, I mean, they had their reservations about me going

into policing, but I went from college to uniform,

so they got used to it pretty quickly. Heh!

Rachita, um...

I know I've not always handled things brilliantly in the past, so...

on this occasion, I thought that maybe I should just

come straight to you, off the record.

OK.

One of your team came to me.

They are worried

about the way in which you're handling

some of the investigation. Who came to you, ma'am?

I'm not gonna say. I mean, my team should feel like they can all speak...

It's irrelevant who it is, Rachita.

Look, I know you said you were ready,

but perhaps we should consider whether this

is the right... Hey, love.

We were just round the corner having a beer, thought we'd pop in and say hi.

Same again?

Yeah. Sure, why not?

Um, another large red, please.

That was really bad. Ha ha ha ha!

Any... any chance I can jump in with you?

You're on my way home.

Yeah, sure.

See you tomorrow.

I've had a great night.

Me, too.

So...

should we... do the numbers thing?

Can I ask you a question about DI Ray?

Yeah.

I heard she took down a corrupt DCI... Hunter?

She did, yeah.

So what's Henderson's and Beardsmore's beef with her?

What do you mean?

They just seem to be on her, constantly.

I really don't know where this is.

We could be knocking on a lot of doors.

Good.

Gives you time to answer my question.

You have a really strong discrimination case against 'em.

I know, but I need more time. Right.

I'm just not sure what I want to do yet.

You're not seriously falling for this fast-track promotion talk, are you?

Wait, it's not about being fast-tracked.

It's a job I would have already have gotten had I not been passed over.

Just look at the hypocrisy, though.

They have all these targets

and quotas, but it's all for show.

They don't want things to change.

Launching race discrimination proceedings is

the only way to make that change happen.

I... I know. I... I know, I get it.

I just don't want to lose the trust and respect of my team.

Rachita, the institution tokenised and took advantage of you,

then tried to make you the scapegoat for its problems.

And when that didn't work, they came with their tails between their legs

and begged you to come back, and you're choosing to do nothing.

No, no, I'm choosing to do my job. I want to be left alone to do it.

Mrs. Mochani, are you aware that your son was having

email correspondence with Frank Chapman before he died?

No.

Your brother never mentioned it?

No, he didn't.

Do you know this child?

What is all this? This image was sent

to your son by Frank Chapman.

We think she might be connected to his disappearance.

Mrs. Mochani, is it possible this could be

your granddaughter? Absolutely not.

Perhaps she was born when your son was serving his sentence?

He might not have known about her,

he might not have wanted you to know?

We're not from the villages.

It's bad enough sending your thugs to turn his room upside down.

Now you two come here, flinging your backward assumptions!

Mrs. Mochani, if you do know anything, you need to tell us now.

Not only could there be a child at risk of harm, but every second we delay,

the threat to your son's life becomes more imminent.

This is bigger than you.

You need to work with us.

Well done. I think you got to her.

Email from Forensics. I'm afraid there's no DNA

from the warehouse, apart from Rav Mochani's.

Thanks. I'll go and meet Kwesi at the Chapmans',

see what they don't say.

Remember that game?

Knock-a-door-run.

Yeah. I always got caught.

Hi there. DC Ellis.

Hi, my name's DC Payne. I was wondering

if you might have seen this child?

Who is she?

Your father was in possession of this photo.

I don't think so.

We've never seen her before.

What exactly are you suggestin' here?

He sent this photo to a man called Ravinder Mochani.

Do you know why he might have sent it?

Well, Dad didn't run everything by us.

And he never mentioned this contact?

I've never heard of him. You?

No.

So you've no idea

why your dad and Ravinder Mochani

were communicating with each other prior to his death?

Like I said, I've never heard

of anybody called Ravinder.

You know, it's not conventional to hold a wake without a body.

What was the rush with Frank?

It's what Dad would have wanted,

us all there...

together.

Hi there. DC Ellis.

Police?

Yes, from West Central.

Just here to ask a few questions.

Do you mind telling me your name?

Mrs. Donata Malek.

Mrs. Malek, do you recognise this child?

Very sweet.

Yes.

I seen her.

Who with?

The occupant is a Dawn Hughes.

Apparently it's a one-bed, and she's the only listed occupant.

We've been watching the flat. No one's come or gone.

There's definitely someone in there, though, ma'am.

Hi.

I'm a police officer. My name is DI Rachita Ray.

We're making enquiries and speaking to residents in the area.

I was wondering if I could speak to you?

You can either open the door now, or my colleagues

will wait here while I go and get a warrant, Dawn.

Hi.

I'm DI Rachita Ray. You must be Dawn Hughes?

Do you mind if we come and have a chat?

I'm sure you don't want your neighbours hearing your business.

Why didn't you answer the door, Dawn?

What's this about?

Do you have any children?

No.

Do you know this little girl?

N-no.

We believe this photo was taken somewhere around this location.

We also have an eyewitness who claims they saw you with this child.

Can you give us a minute?

Do you mind if I take a look in there?

I can't help you. Sorry. Can you go now?

I said I want you to leave!

Please?

I saw the email from Social Services. Well done.

I trust you'll inform me when they've completed their assessment.

Yeah, will do, ma'am.

And...

Ethan.

I saw you leave in the taxi together.

I wouldn't go there if I were you.

Why not?

Just trust me.

Let's just say that his attitude can be casual,

especially when it comes to women.

I'll cancel my wedding plans then.

Ma'am, there's been a development from Ballistics.

Images of the two bullets extracted from Frank Chapman.

Now, as you can see, when we go in close,

the striation marks are significantly different.

Bullet A has markings suggesting a semi-automatic Taurus,

and Bullet B has the markings of a 9mm semi-automatic Glock.

So we're talking about two completely different weapons?

Not only that,

the weapon that fired the first bullet

has been out of circulation for years.

It's practically vintage in the gun world.

So the delay from the first, clumsy shot to the second

more targeted one isn't one person's delay.

They're different shooters.

So we have two guns

from two different killers.

Great. Thank you. Of course.

I'll let her know. Thanks.

Ma'am, that was Social Services.

The little girl's been checked over by a doctor.

There doesn't appear to be any signs of physical trauma,

and she's eating and drinking well.

Where is she now? She's been taken

to a secure Social Services facility.

Thank you, Liam.

I've, um, got some docs for you here, ma'am.

Now, this is a health check

of an unnamed seven-year-old girl

performed by a clinic in India.

It was one of the attachments in a deleted email chain

I managed to recover between Rav Mochani

and a contact I traced to an orphanage just south of Delhi.

Also attached was this.

It's her.

Sajna.

I ran it through checks with the passport office, and it's fake.

So it looks like she's been trafficked.

In one of the emails, the contact

at the orphanage asks where the child will

be residing, and this was Rav's reply.

Would you mind reading out the address highlighted in the email?

5A Eelbrook House,

Edgbaston, Birmingham, B156CC.

And can you confirm it is your address, Dawn? You know it is.

My colleague, DC Payne, has been looking

into Ravinder Mochani's laptop.

He's found some correspondence between Rav

and an orphanage in India.

I'm going to ask you now,

have you and Ravinder Mochani been involved

in bringing this girl over from India illegally?

How do you explain the fact that your address,

the one that you just read out,

the one where we discovered the child,

was declared as being the address that this child would be staying at?

Do you know what happens to children that are trafficked?

Often, they are sold

into domestic servitude,

used as slaves, but more often

than not, they're used by paedophiles.

I'm guessing you know what paedophiles do to children, right, Dawn?

And do you know what happens to people involved

in trafficking them?

At least 14 years.

Can you imagine how frightened this little girl must be,

not knowing why she's been brought here to a country she doesn't know,

not knowing who's going to take care of her?

She's seven years old, Dawn.

Seven!

And she's all alone!

He wouldn't be involved in something like that.

Who are you referencing, Dawn?

Rav.

What's his full name?

Ravinder Mochani.

And what's the nature of the relationship between you two?

He was my boyfriend. Was?

We broke up. So you're not together.

Did Rav Mochani bring this child to your flat?

This photo was clearly taken outside your house,

so do you have any idea how Frank Chapman would have got hold of it?

You do know Frank Chapman was murdered a few days

after this photo was taken, so come on, tell me. Who is she?

Rav's cousin. His cousin?

What's her name?

She's not his cousin, is she, Dawn?

He asked me to look after her for a bit,

but then he disappeared on me, and I didn't know what was happenin'.

And I felt bad, but I didn't want her there!

I didn't know what to do with the kid!

Dawn, when was the last time you saw Rav Mochani?

Came round last Sunday.

What time?

Late, like around... 10:30.

He said he'd be there at 8:00. I gave him... 'cause I thought

he was with someone else, but he said he was at some family dinner.

Rav Mochani has a potential alibi for the murders

of Frank Chapman and Megan Parks.

What is it?

Someone's here to see you, ma'am.

Take your time, Mrs. Mochani. Someone called me.

Who? One of the Chapman monkeys.

They gave me this.

They want information about Rav's business dealings with Frank.

But I don't know anything.

They said if I don't tell them what Frank and my son

were talking about, they're gonna kill him.

Hey!

Hey!

He gets a bit carried away.

Leave us.

Let's get this all cleared up, shall we? So we can move on.

I hate loose ends, me.

What were you and my dad in talks about before he died?

Did he not tell you? Shame.

Wonder what else he thought you were too dumb to handle.

He piss you off, did he?

Is that why you did him over?

'Cause you did, didn't ya?

Just... admit it. It's your only option right now.

Get...!

Yeah.

What have you got? Sir, this cyclist

was checking his footage 'cause some guy cut him up and he wanted to see

if he'd recorded the reg, then he noticed it.

Go ahead.

He's the only person who has willingly come forward to help us.

Everyone else is too scared.

He said his mum was a nurse.

He uses an app to track his bike rides.

You can see here is where he nearly came off.

Can you get me an exact location?

How is she?

A little confused

with everything that's going on,

but seems happy enough.

She'll be rehoused with a foster family

as soon as somewhere suitable is found.

She can understand more English than she speaks,

so we've been communicating partly in English and partly in Punjabi.

The calmness when we found her.

That child is used to being alone.

Sajna?

Hi. Do you remember me?

Yeah.

She made it for you.

It's so lovely. Thank you.

Um, can you ask her...

if she recognises the person in this photo?

Ravinder.

Did you ever meet any of his friends?

Liam? Ma'am, a member

of the public brought in footage from his helmet camera

which shows two individuals in masks

with what looks like Rav Mochani.

We got the location off his cycling app and we think

we've worked out his exact location.

A disused gym. DI Holden's making arrangements

for a specialist firearms unit and a hostage negotiator.

What's the address? It's Chorlton Way, but...

OK. I'm close. I'll head there now.

What's up? She reckons she's nearby.

She gonna head there.

Get DI Holden, ASAP.

We need to get her on the radio.

Then everyone else will know she's gone without backup.

Ma'am? I'm here.

There's no sign of a van or any other occupants.

OK. They might have moved him again.

What's the ETA on the firearm unit?

Nine minutes, I think,

Please, just wait for backup.
