I saw cocaine quite
a lot in my career.

I've been served it,
I've been given it...

Had my hand shaken and left
with little wraps of foil.

I've been asked to dust
cocaine on top of souffles,

to put it on as icing sugar.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

But I've never touched
a line of cocaine in my life.

Coke's everywhere.

It's spiralling out of control.

I knew it was gonna be intense,
but not quite like this.

You look at the numbers of
what comes in to this country.

You're not messing
about there. Jesus Christ.

Year on year, death
after death, here and abroad.

That's the devastation, I think.

And yet, no one wants
to talk about it.

But they all want to
(BLEEP)ing snort it.

I've discovered
that Britain consumes

30 tonnes of the drug every year,

more than any other
country in Europe.

And the value of this?
This is a kilo.

About a hundred grand.

Ladies, hello.

For the first time,

I've investigated cocaine use
in my own restaurants,

and found it'd been snorted freely
in my staff and customer toilets.

I'm not asking you
to shit on anyone,

but how bad is it?

People have been taking the side
plates into the bathrooms and-

So they're chopping up? Yes.

Staff toilets, positive.

Customer toilets, positive.

It is everywhere.

We're not prepared to have
another casualty.

This is personal.

My friend, and talented head chef,
died in a cocaine-fuelled accident.

I broke down, because I had no idea.

I kick myself for not doing more.

It's made me feel determined
to get to the root of it.

I've travelled deep
into the Amazon jungle

to discover cocaine's toxic recipe.

I'm appalled at what goes into it.

The fumes and the smell coming
off that is extraordinary.

With more people dying from
cocaine use than ever before,

this time I'm going face to face
with the dealers...

It does smell.

Traffickers...

Even killers.

Honestly, I'm shitting myself.

Moving this drug into Britain.

If they see us coming, they can
arm themselves with knives, guns.

I want to know whether
this trade can ever be stopped.

How in the hell are the police
gonna get back in control

with the size of the problem?

I've already seen how
coke is made in Colombia.

Now, I'm continuing my journey,
travelling southwest

to the epicentre of a new boom
in cocaine production,

supplying Britain.

I want to witness first-hand

the extraordinary,
deadly war on drugs.

Gracias.

So I'm joining the country's
elite counter-drugs squad,

the Anti-Narcoticos.

Ear production?
No, I'll be fine, thank you.

These are the military
at the forefront
of this whole drug war.

Now, their job is intense.

I mean, they're finding the cartels,
they're locating these crops,

destroying the crops,
identifying the labs,

taking the labs out.

These guys here are responsible for
stopping cocaine coming into the UK.

The war they're fighting
on a daily basis is...

Is huge.

Trained by the British SAS,

this unit has been fighting
cocaine production and the cartels

for nearly 30 years.

They encounter fierce resistance

and have suffered serious losses.

Today, they've identified
a plantation of coca leaf,

the plant that's
used to make cocaine.

They plan to destroy
the crop with chemical spray.

They're flying 90 minutes way,
up to the north of the jungle,

and both those helicopters
will land those troops on there

and then make the ground safe,

and then we'll fly in
with the sprayers.

Hopefully, when we land
the ground's (BLEEPING) safe.

What's the danger?

The danger is we have a camper in
the house or personal explosive...

Explosive? Yeah,
at the ground. Right.

So, like landmines? Yeah. Right.

We have illegal groups,
armed illegal groups. Right.

Er, the population of this area

will attack or knock the policeman.

So, eyes wide open and
be alert, as always. As always.

There's still possibly, you know,
a chance to come under attack

and there's two guerrilla
companies out there,

one have handed their weapons in,
one are still on the loose.

Also, these farmers get agitated
so they set up snipers,

also, potential land explosives

left to upset, you know, the police,

so yeah, it's pretty,
er, it's pretty grim.

I mean, I knew it was gonna be
intense, but not quite like this.

In this area, police are
sometimes kidnapped by coca growers

and recently, one was shot dead.

This unit is on high alert

and I have no idea
what will happen next.

We reach the target.

Below are industrial-size
coca fields,

all believed to be
cartel-controlled.

Wow. That's unbelievable.

The size of it.

Jesus Christ.

Major, I can't believe
how much is in here.

I can't believe the amount
that's in here.

It's everywhere. Si.

It's very thick and
very dense. Yeah. My God.

So their principal job
is to check explosive, too.

Wow. So the dog's
checking out for explosives.

You found an explosive?
Holy shit, man.

Wow.

So the area's safe? You can go in
and start spraying now? Yeah.

I cannot believe
the size of this crop.

It's un(BLEEP)believable.

The men have to spray
each plant by hand.

A painstaking process.

If they did this by air,
it would destroy the forest.

They're also up against
the plantation's employees,

who may be armed.

They appear through the bushes
to defend the business.

A warning shot is fired to attempt
to disperse the workers.

OK. It's time to go out.

Check. What's going on?

Er, farmers are starting
to kick off.

And they're getting angry.

The team will persist on the ground,

but they can no longer
guarantee my safety.

(BLEEP). Time to go!

Gracias.

As we leave, I can see the farmers

and the labs used to turn
the leaf into cocaine.

Hundreds of tonnes of the drug
are produced in this area.

From here, it starts the clandestine
journey to Britain

through countries like Brazil,
Venezuela and Honduras.

That was incredible.

I mean, I've been on
some rides in my life

but that was just insane.

Also, just the speed and how quick
and professional the team were,

mind-blowing.

The coca plant was
almost like vineyards

that were spiralling
out of control, in a way.

They were so dense.

Now you start to get a grip on
how big of a problem it is.

The job for the Anti-Narcoticos now
is way bigger than I thought.

It's intense. It's bloody intense.

And there's a, there's
an outright war going on.

I know have a sense of
the size of this business,

the enormity of coke
production in Colombia,

which has gone up by
52 per cent in just 12 months.

I want to see what this boom in
cocaine means for people back home.

The UK, we need introduce
30 tonnes of cocaine,

the majority coming from Colombia.

The rawness of the war here,

and what it's doing globally.

Yeah, we've got, er...

We've got some issues
back in the UK.

Britain imports �2 billion
worth of cocaine every year,

more than any other
country in Europe.

I'd been to the source in Colombia

and seen the thriving
cocaine industry

that supplies the UK.

Now, I want to meet
the elusive criminals

who distribute the drug here.

I found a contact with
criminal connections in
the southeast of England

and set up a covert meeting
with a top cocaine dealer.

So I'm waiting for a pick up.

A guy's gonna take me to
a hotel to meet a big dealer.

He's a major player.

He must be making a fortune,

and responsible for a lot of it
that's hitting the streets,

so the chance of him getting caught,
is he armed, is he not?

Who knows.

All I know is, I've been told
to be here at a certain time,

hat, glasses, jump in the car
and get dropped off.

So he's, er, he's all cool?

He's cool.

Straight up.

Fuckin' hell.

Where's the main source coming from?

It comes in from the sea.

That's why I'm involved
with all the Colombians. Right.

Bought a boat, an 80 foot
fishing boat,

and then we go get it,
launch it in the water.

We get a phone call, and then
it'd be like, it's landed

and then we go and get
the boat and then we'll go out.

And we're talking
a couple kilo at a time?

You could get four, five, six keys.

What's the value of that? Six key.

Six key, each key, a kilo,
that's 60 grand.

Fucking hell. So six sixes? Yeah.

So 360 grand? Yep.

And do you have any on you now? Yep.

Oh, fucking hell.

Erm... That smell,
what is that, that's er...

That's the purity of it.
The purity of it? Yeah.

What's that worth now?

About 70 grand each.

140 grand? Yeah.

So that can be cut- That'll
probably be cut multiple times.

And if someone nicked that,
what would you do?

If I caught 'em? Yes.

Well, then, the toys'd be coming
out to play, then, wouldn't they?

The toys? The toys, yeah.

Oh, you mean like your- Well, we've
got firearms, things like that.

Right.

How big a demand have you
seen in the last ten years?

How much is it in demand now?

Oh, everyone's on it.

Everybody? Everybody. Doctors,
police officers, anyone.

Police officers, lawyers-
Yeah, doctors, everyone.

Fucking hell. Everybody.

It does fuck people up.
Do you have any guilt on that?

No. No. I don't have
no guilt, innit.

I'm not putting a gun to their head
telling them to come buy it, am I?

They're adults.

But if you get caught, you could
be banged up for life.

Yeah. But I know that.

Myself, I know.
I know the consequences.

The money's better for us, if more
people want it, it's better for us.

Get more money.

I'm fucking shocked.

You know, just walking around
with that amount of coke.

I think the money is
the addiction for him, now.

And I think, by
the sounds of things,

he enjoys the fucking danger.

Cocaine is a dangerous game.

The production boom in Colombia
means cheaper wholesale coke here.

More people are competing
to get into the trade,

meaning violence is on the rise.

Gangs
across the country

are increasingly
turning to deadly weapons.

Putting ordinary people at risk.

The gunman turned up and shot

a mother and her
seven-year-old son.

The pair caught in the crossfire.

I want to see first-hand
how the British police

take the fight to the dealers.

Detective Sergeant Bob Dolce
of the Metropolitan Police

is battling over
200 gangs in London alone.

This is Operation Rayon,
which is basically

a spin-off from a job two weeks ago

which resulted in
a number of arrests

and a number of seizures
of Class A drugs.

This morning, we're raiding the
house of a suspected street dealer.

Would you normally
start this early, Bob,

in terms of stunning them
at five in the morning?

Yeah, we always do an early raid,
just because want them in bed.

If they're up and about or they see
us coming, they can flush drugs,

arm themselves with knives, guns,

so we always try and get them
when they're vulnerable,

which is when they're asleep.

We always tend to stop short of
the address and then we'll walk up.

As much of a surprise as we can.

Shall I go with you, Bob?
Yep, OK, stick with me.

Pretty intense, isn't it?

It's a two bedroom flat,

you can see how many
officers we have to bring.

There's 30 of us here today.

Shit. This is normal size? Yeah.

Shit. It's all about the risk. Yeah.

Jobs like this, he might be 21,

but we don't know
how he's gonna react,

is he gonna pick a knife up,

are there gonna be
ten people in there?

I mean, you would shit yourself
if you looked out your window

and you saw an army of
these lads coming towards...

Certainly not gonna
make your day. No.

Shit.

And that's how we do it.

Shit.

So we're police officers?

We've got a warrant to search these
premises for drugs, all right?

Where's your boy? Not here? No.

The suspect is not home.

We're just gonna
search your boy's room.

The hunt begins for any evidence
that could lead to a conviction.

Big windows. Come on, up.

Well, that's an X Reg Mercedes.

Bloody hell. Not bad. Yeah.

Doesn't work. 21.

21, got a better car than me.

So you'd have that in
your trousers. My God.

And that is, you know,
that'll kill you.

Bloody hell. People carry
a knife instead of a gun

because you won't go to prison
for a knife on your first occasion.

A gun, five years mandatory, so...

And that does just as much
damage. A knife? Easily.

Oh, there you go. There's another
knife, wrapped in Clingfilm.

They've left no fingerprints on it.

Find it, then. Find it.

This police dog is trained to detect
drugs, firearms and money.

It's an indication there's
something there. That's amazing.

Wow.

That was quick.

Well, there you go. Shit.

Watch her. That's
a wad there, isn't it?

That is probably
a grand, there, yeah.

So that'll now be seized by us,
he's not getting that back.

If I catch him in that car,
I'll take his car,

because it's gonna hurt him.

You know, everything
we can do to disrupt these
people is a result for us.

They operate between 15 and 20 raids

like this a day,
sometimes even more.

So that was effective,

but more importantly,
the message is out there.

They're on the cases and
they're cracking down big time.

Ultimately, there was no evidence
to prosecute this suspect

for the supply of cocaine.

Bloody hell. Right, let's go.

But Bob's unit, Trident, will
continue to work around the clock,

pursuing dealers and those
involved in gang violence.

Trident is responsible for London,

but its officers now chase down

armed drug criminals
all across the UK.

Bob has brought me to meet his boss,

Detective Chief Superintendent
Kevin Southworth.

He has the challenging job

of bringing violent
dealers to justice.

Good morning. Hi, good morning.

Good walk up? Yeah,
very well, thank you.

So this is HQ? It is.
This is Trident's main office.

I'm seeing it, in my business,
almost as a given.

It's hip, it's trendy, it's cool

and because of the
glamourised side to cocaine,

is that making your job harder?

Absolutely. Here in London alone,

we see extraordinary
levels of violence,

gang crime, shooting and stabbings,

all of which are linked
to the cocaine trade,

which, of course, anyone who
uses cocaine is contributing to,

by driving that demand
in the first place,

driving that trade, which
draws young people into it.

We've seen record-breaking seizures

of firearms over
the last two years.

Over 700 lethal barrel
weapons have been seized

each year for the last two years.

That's two a day.

It is true to say that over
70 per cent of those weapons

that we do recover
in those circumstances

are also found with
a stash of drugs

and usually cocaine or crack. Yeah.

Which indicates just how closely
the gun supply in this city

and gun usage in this city

sits with the cocaine
and crack cocaine supply.

How do you stay on top of it?

In fairness, it's
always gonna be a war

of attrition and
suppression for us,

cos there is a very high demand.

Anyone who thinks that the use
of cocaine is in any way victimless

is living an absolute lie. Yeah.

Now, I want to meet
the customers who buy cocaine.

Without them, this insanely
dangerous trade would not exist.

Finding somebody willing to speak,
however, has been very difficult.

One lady has very bravely
agreed to meet me.

Because this lady's life
was destroyed by cocaine.

Rachel. Hiya. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming to see me.

Rachel is 38 years old, and used
to have a well-paid job in finance.

How did your cocaine,
you know, addiction start?

I would say it was like
early 20s, with my mates.

Just, it was a laugh,
do you know what I mean?

It was like social,
a social sort of drug.

And then we were
taking it all the time,

every single day,
every single night,

but I was still
doing my job, a good job,

I was a management accountant.

But how did you hide it from work?

I was doing it at work. You were?

Yeah, have one about
ten o'clock in the toilets,

another one at lunch time,
just get through the day,

cos obviously you've been
up late the night before.

I would say to myself "That's it,
I'm not doing it no more."

The next day I'd do the same thing.

How quick did you get it?

It's like ordering a takeaway.

Like ordering a takeaway?
Yeah. Literally?

You could never not get it.

I never had a time in that
12 years where I couldn't get it.

It was always available.

What were you spending per week?

At the beginning,
probably about �800 a week.

So that's �3,200
a month, on average.

40 grand a year.

And that's been for ten years?

12 years. Yeah, I know, I could
have been a millionaire, maybe.

There's half a million. Yeah.

Half a million.

Spending all our money
on coke. Nothing else.

You know, when I started out
we had a mortgage, new car...

And at the end of it,
we've nothing but a TV to my name.

But I have been
two years clean now.

Good. And life's good today.

She is your typical user.

If you saw her in the street, you'd
never think she'd have a habit.

The way she talks,
the way she presents herself,

you'd just think it's
a normal, hard-working girl
that has a bright future.

Who knew what was going on?
What a lonely place she was in?

She's out of that mess, and
the good news is, Rachel's clean.

I went to find out
exactly how tonnes of cocaine

gets from South America
to the shores of Britain

so people such as Rachel
can order it like a takeaway.

My contact at
the National Crime Agency

has already give me some intel
on how cocaine is smuggled here.

The UK, we're an island nation,

so it's almost a 360 degree target.

Cocaine comes to us from all
corners of the planet, basically.

Production is here.
Largely in Colombia.

Traffickers use an extraordinary
web of secretive routes

to get it from Colombia
to our shores.

You've got this
Latin American coastline

which enters the Caribbean Sea.

That's really important, because
the Caribbean Sea is a gateway,

not only to West Africa
but to the UK, as well.

Countries that get
exploited through this,

Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras,

these countries are
generally less developed,

they are vulnerable
and they're exploitable.

These are the places
where bad things happen.

If I'm to understand
the cocaine trade,

I need to track down
the multi-billion pound
trafficking business.

I've been told my best chance

of meeting a major smuggler
is in Honduras.

It looks like I'm on the
international cocaine trail again.

This time, it's Central America.

Now, I've never been to Honduras,

but what I do know is that
it's one of the most dangerous

countries anywhere in the world.

Honduras is an international
staging post for wholesale cocaine.

Here, no one is safe
from the cartels

and criminal gangs
who control the trade.

I've been in some
vulnerable situations in my life,

but I've never been in to
something as grim as this.

I'm shitting myself.

I'm touching down in Honduras,

one of the world's most dangerous
countries outside of a war zone.

This nation serves as a clandestine
port for Colombian cocaine

before it's trafficked to
the UK and across the world.

Just arrived in Honduras,

known as the world's warehouse
for cocaine.

They say it's up to 300 tonnes
a year of cocaine out of Honduras

with a street value of
close to �10 billion a year.

That's a lot of coke.

From my point of view,
this is like the epicentre.

I think it's one of
the most dangerous times ever.

I'm gonna be spending time

with the country's most famous
crime reporter, Orlin Castro.

Orlin's covered over 430 murders
in the last two months alone,

the majority linked
to the cocaine trade.

I'm hoping Orlin can get me
access to the criminal underworld

and give an insight to the violence
that's consuming this country.

Thank you so much.
How was your trip? Bloody hot.

On the way to meet Orlin,

my driver fills me in on
the current state of play.

Cocaine, it comes here first.
It comes here first.

This is the bridge,
this is the, sort of, the hub.

Yes, because it comes
from Colombia,

the whole country
is filled with cocaine.

And the crime? I mean,
it's escalating at all times.

Yes. Yes, we can easily
have six bodies a day.

Six bodies a day? Yeah.

I wish that I was wrong,

but probably in your stay
here in Honduras,

you're gonna find someone
who's been violently killed.

They're basically fighting
for territory to sell more cocaine.

Jesus. Some neighbourhoods, you have
to just roll your windows down,

especially these kind of cars,
with the tinted windows,

because you can
get shot at, easily.

Why? They're gonna kill you
because they don't know the car,

they don't know who is in the car,

so the gangs are gonna
shoot first, ask second.

Jesus.

Suddenly, we hear that
somebody's been assassinated

in rush hour traffic up ahead.

I can't believe it.

20 minutes in and already
there's been a call with a body.

So... Jesus.

Shit.

Look at this.

What is going on?

Just come to the crime scene now.

Flashing lights, cars everywhere.

I find Orlin already at the scene.

If you guys come here, you can
see the body. Where's the body?

Yeah, now I can, yeah.

I can see the hands.

Orlin believes this is a hit

by professional killers
known as sicarios.

The media from Honduras,
they don't want the broadcast,

the reality, the raw reality-

Don't shout. Don't shout.
Talk, don't shout.

OK? Thank you.
This has really, really happened,

and you are witnesses.
You are witnesses.

It's all starting to kick off.
A guy's shouting over there,

about the government,
this is what's happening,

and how corrupt it is,
but it's insane.

Crazy.

And look, around, underneath
the bushes, in the trees,

there's kids everywhere.

Do you really want to bring
your kids to a place like this?

But it's an everyday occurrence,
so it's nothing new for them,

just another... Another death.

Honestly? I'm shitting myself.

With this cocaine warehouse,

it's such big business that,
how do you slow this thing down?

Hello!

Night. Goodnight.

Have your daughters come to realise

what kind of things
you report on TV?

Orlin's next assignment is
at the local police station.

I'm curious to see
how the authorities deal

with violent criminals here.

Guys with jeans and t-shirts
and balaclavas running around.

Right now I'm not too sure
who's fucking who.

They've discovered a gang member

from one of the largest
gangs in Honduras,

and they're gonna parade
this gang member now,

from one of the biggest cartels.

This man's apparently a member
of the 18th Street gang,

who deal in coke,
racketeering and extortion.

So they've just walked him back.

They've taken him out of his cell,

put him in the middle
of the car park

and now they're walking him
down across the car park

in front of the Honduras media.

I mean, what a routine this is.

What the fuck's going on?

This, I gather, is a naming
and shaming exercise.

Suspects are paraded
for the cameras daily.

Orlin tells me this man
is a foot soldier.

Big time cocaine traffickers
are rarely captured.

This is surreal.

I mean, he looks about 18.
Look how young he is.

Be safe and I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you. Goodnight.

It's just so intense!

It's hard to gauge that
sat on your arse at home,

but I'm, my eyes are everywhere.

If it's not a fucking cat up a tree,

or a car drives past
with darkened windows

or someone who shoots
past me on a motorbike,

I'm, er, yeah,
eyes all over the place.

How in the hell are the military
or police gonna get back in control

with the size of the problem?

It is just insane.

In Honduras, all
is not what it seems.

By day, the cities are bustling
with everyday life.

But thousands of people
are secretly employed

in the international
cocaine business.

Orlin's agreed to introduce me
to people in this underworld.

Hola. You good?

He's taking me into one of
the most violent neighbourhoods
to meet sicarios,

freelance hitmen hired
to eliminate anybody

who stands in the way
of the cocaine business.

In terms of the questions, and what
I can say and what I can't say,

how far can I push it?

Honestly, I actually
feel quite sick.

Shit. Here we go.

We here? Si.

So, we just arrived,
he's jumped out.

Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

These assassins charge as little
as �50 to murder somebody.

Mucho gracias.
Thank you for your time.

De nada.

How many people do you think
you've murdered?

Do you ever think
that you wanna stop this?

You and your organisation
are religious.

How do you wake up the next morning
with a clear conscience?

When will you take out
your next victim?

When will the next
assassination take place?

Are these your gentlemen? Hola.

Sorry. Hola.

Erm... So... That's the,
that's the weapons you use?

And is it possible
to have a look at the gun?

If I can have a look?

Yeah, like that. Yeah. Si.

Er... Wow. So there's
one in the chamber? Yeah.

Jesus Christ.

Gracias.

Mucho gracias.

Hola.

Una banana. Gracias. Thank you.

It's fine. Gracias.

Look at that smile. Si.

That's the most intense situation
I've ever been in.

Just the fixation
of his eyes, it was cold.

Really cold.

Everything's relating
back to business.

Everything's about the money,
the coke, the survival,

and what this,
this powder has created.

This substance may be
bright white from the outside

but from the inside
it's fucking full of blood.

This is Honduras's
Caribbean coast.

The cartels use this area to store
up to 300 tonnes of cocaine

before shipping it out.

I've been trying to track down
the elusive masterminds

who smuggle the drug to Britain.

I'm on my way down to the coast and
there's a bit of a breakthrough

because we've got access
to quite a senior smuggler.

The strange bit for me
is that he's agreed to meet me

on a remote part of the beach

which sounds slightly fucking dodgy.

Hola.

I'm gonna jump on a boat,
and I'm gonna meet him

on a part of the shoreline so...

Fucking hell.

Caribbean shoreline
down here is notorious for
smuggling this cocaine out,

so this guy's on his own territory
and I'm going to his manor.

Hola.

I've been informed that Carlos,
the smuggler I'm about to meet,

does business directly
with the Colombian cartels.

He made his first deal aged just 17.

That should be Carlos.

Sat underneath the coconut tree,

and it looks like
he's got his face covered.

Yeah. That's him.

Carlos. Hola.

Gracias.

Hola. Good to see you. All good?

How does cocaine hit
the streets of the UK

coming out of Honduras?

Wow. Models?

That first transaction,
how much money did you make on that?

So the multiples are incredible.

Big business for you.

Dealing with so much cocaine
is a very dangerous job.

Are you confident
you can stay alive?

How do you manage
to stay live for so long?

So you've been paying people off
to protect your interests

and keep yourself alive.

Have you made a lot of money?

Mucho? Mucho. Mucho.

And thank you for your time.
Mucho gracias.

Muchas gracias.

Fuck me.

Carlos uses a legion of
extraordinary smuggling tricks.

Private planes and secret runways
to fly the cocaine in from Colombia,

human couriers, boats
and even submarines

to transport it across the world.

Other 17-year-olds, back home,

would be playing football
or focusing on exams.

That guy was off striking deals
with a cartel in Colombia,

so what a pair of bollocks.

I set up businesses, you know,
and I work my arse off.

Here, you know,
it's pretty incredible

when you see how
sophisticated they are.

We're dealing with big bucks.
There's a lot of money coming in.

He was paying off the police, paying
off the military to stay alive.

He's outsmarted the system,
he's kept his neck above the water,

but he's also responsible for a lot
of the shit hitting the UK shore.

I've been shocked to learn
how people in this business

use bribery and murder to protect

the distribution
of cocaine worldwide,

and I've learnt how the war
on drugs is seemingly unwinnable

when the UK's demand
for cocaine is so high.

I never thought
I'd be this embarrassed.

Going back home now with
my tail between my legs.

You know, I'm concerned about this
shit's coming into my restaurants,

about the shit that's happening
to get it to my restaurants,

the consequences of
taking this shit drug.

You know, and everyone
thinks is a party zone.

It's not a fucking party zone,
it's a war zone.

After what I've seen,
I can't just do nothing.

The size of the problem
is fucking immense.

You know, I'm just one man.

So what I can do is put
my own house in order.

I've spent my entire career
surrounded by cocaine

and have now discovered
evidence of cocaine use

amongst my current employees.

My ambition is to rid my restaurants
of cocaine permanently.

So I've gathered together
my senior staff.

My industry has been turning
a blind eye for years.

Time to confront this
dirty secret head on.

Has anyone ever been in a situation
where you've been with your mates

and they've said "Come on,
we're gonna do this. Take some."

I have, first off, let's get
that right. Anybody else?

I respect your honesty.

It's not just us, it's
a problem across the industry.

There's about five
of you in the room

that was with me when
we lost David Dempsey.

I had no idea that
he had a cocaine habit,

I was totally oblivious.

If only I knew
David Dempsey was on it,

do you think I'd be sat
having dinner with him

the night before he died?

He'd be in rehab, immediately.

Honestly, from what I've seen
and what I've witnessed,

to lose somebody else now
is not an option.

That's not gonna happen.

Service!

My first instinct
was to drug test staff

and fire anyone who tested positive.

But I feel responsible
towards these guys.

So, instead, I'm rolling out a plan
to tackle cocaine use on the job.

We need to stick together.

We need to help to stop our industry
losing talented individuals.

So here's what we set up.

We have a system in place that is
there to offer support and help.

So you're not isolated.

My managers will be trained
to identify the signs of drug abuse

and staff will be offered

professional, confidential
counselling and even rehab.

I'm gonna help those
who want to be helped.

Persistent offenders will be fired,

and can get the hell out.

I need you to be strong
and honest with yourselves

because if you see it, hear it,
or maybe have indulged in it,

there's help there.

I don't want coke
in my restaurants anymore.

Customers taking
side plates into the loos

to snort cocaine off.

How fucking rude.

That shit has to stop.

For every line of coke taken,

the devastation behind
the scenes is fucking horrific.

You know, deliver that message
to that individual.

- Agreed?
- Yes.

Thank you.

I'm not gonna change the world,

but what I can make is a difference.

And that fucking difference
needs to start somewhere,

and it, it starts in here.

On this extraordinary journey...

God.

I've witnessed the devastation
that cocaine brings,

the violence, and even death.

How can it possibly be cool

when someone, somewhere,
may well have paid with their lives

for the cocaine you're about
to shovel up your nose?

Whilst demand in
the UK has rocketed,

it's made dangerous criminals
ridiculously rich.

Five-four, go with it, go with it.

While the authorities struggle
to get a grip on the problem.

Every fucking line taken,
and every step that I've crossed...

Fuck me.

If only they knew.

Honestly, I actually
feel quite sick.

Thousands think that coke
is a bit of harmless fun.

No one quite understands now

the damage it causes
before you take it.

But if one person can
stop using cocaine,

you know now what goes into it...

Job done.
