ARTHUR SCARGILL: And you've got to make up your mind!

Are you going to accept it down on your knees?

Or are you going to stand and fight,

and oppose the closure and the butchery of your industry?

CROWD CHANTING: We'll never be defeated!

We're miners! United! We'll never be defeated!

THATCHER: You saw the scenes which went on in television last night.

I must tell you that what we've got

is an attempt to substitute the rule of the mob for the rule of law.

MINER: A baton blow to the back of the head, fracturing me skull,

and baton blows across me back, me legs and me ankles.

REPORTER: Done by whom? The police. By the police.

Get in here and see what they're doing.

NEWSREADER: In spite of the ongoing strike, 10 of the 12

collieries in Nottinghamshire have defied the union

and are operating normally.

REPORTER: Why aren't you in favour of the strike?

Cos I can't afford to strike. I just can't afford to strike.

NEWSREADER: Those men in Nottinghamshire who want

to go to work could be subjected to daily insults and reproaches

by those men who are out on strike.

REPORTER: As some of the local miners walked in,

they were followed by groups of flying pickets who'd spent the night

hidden in Sherwood Forest.

MINER: A lot of pickets are very aggressive,

calling us names and throwing stones at us.

We won't be bullied by pickets from Yorkshire.

ARTHUR SCARGILL: But I warn you that if at the conclusion of this dispute

you are still crossing our picket lines,

you will be stained till the end of time as a scab!

CROWD CHANTING: Scab! Scab! Scab!

CHANTING FADES

When you live in a village and come from a village

what's connected to a mine,

what happens in t'community happens to everybody.

Hiya. Sorry.

I didn't know if you were in or not, so I was just going to post it,

Are you registered to vote?

Are you registered insane?

A Tory councillor? Yeah, why not?

We have a Tory MP in Ashfield now.

The red wall fell. Didn't you hear?

Labour can't take working class votes for granted any more.

Those days are long dead.

You're all right, me duck.

Neel? What is it?

You're out bloody flyering, Sarah.

I'm not! I'm on my way to the hairdresser's.

Stop having a go.

Yeah, well, our Danny's Gemma's stepsister, Katrina, said

you knocked on her door, so...

All right, I'm doing a couple of roads

on the way to the hairdresser's.

Do you really think this is the day for it?

How's it looking? OK?

Look, stop flyering, will you? Not today.

OK. OK. I'll see you in a bit.

Noah!

Now, then.

See, you've got to be light on your feet, lads, right?

But wi' power behind you! Wahey!

Like Muhammad Ali.

Who's that?

Go on inside for your mamma.

Why? Go on. Just do it.

Right, that's it, lads. See you in a bit.

See you.

BALL THUDS

TYRES SCREECH

Right, I've got to dash.

Hold on. Ian, you're wearing your uniform. What about the wedding?

Yeah, I did ask, but they said I had to wear it for the photos,

you know... And I've got to salute the Sheriff.

OK, well, I'll take your suit with me, then,

and you get changed there before it starts.

But you cannot be late.

No. I've got to go. Go on, then.

Show me your salute for the Sheriff.

I thought that was a salute.

No. That's American.

British, American, British, American.

See you later.

Ian. Uh-huh?

Don't be late.

AMERICAN ACCENT: Yes, ma'am.

Oh!

Would it kill any one on you to clear away your plate just once?

Cindy, turn the telly off!

I always have it on when I'm revising. Mum lets me.

Fine. I'll WhatsApp her, shall I?

Oh, God. Does this make me look like a twat?

Is that better?

Can I have a friend round while you're out, help me revise?

A friend? What friend? And what name?

So I can do background checks, character references.

And, anyway, no - you're looking after your little brother.

What time's his new bedtime? 11:00.

Is it bollocks! 9:00.

Noah Jackson, look at... Look at me.

What time do you go to bed at home?

9:00. Good boy.

No. Anyway, we'll be back by then. He won't want to stay late.

Where have Mum and Dad even gone?

I told you, it's their wedding anniversary. Cindy, off!

Don't call me Cindy! I hate it.

Oh, why did my daughter have to give her kids such bloody hippy names?

What? Nothing!

What do you do on an anniversary?

You go to a nasty hotel in the middle of nowhere and you have sad sex.

Ah! Cinderella Jackson!

What? It's true.

They go and have nice meals, and talk about all the nice memories

they have of being married to one another, including giving birth

to two wonderful children, who are always good at clearing away

their plates and washing up the pots.

Don't you have a dishwasher?

Yes, I do. Here it is.

Here's me dishwasher. In't it fancy?

It can do everything - backchat, snarl, moan...

DOORBELL RINGS ...grumble.

All right? Sorry, but he's doing it again.

Who's doing what again? You know what.

He's burning rubbish here, when he's got a perfectly good allotment.

The wind's blowing it right into our house. It makes Fred struggle.

He can't control the direction of the wind, can he? He's not God.

If it bothers Fred so much, why doesn't he come and have

a quiet word? You know he's not going to do that. I'm sure Gary

would stop if he asked him. Why should he? Not send his little

helper to do his dirty work for him. OK. Ta anyway.

Yeah, OK. Bye.

There is quite a lot of smoke, Gary.

It's a fire.

Where there's smoke, and all that.

Neighbours have complained.

Let me guess.

Wow. Oh, don't.

I feel dead self-conscious. I might just take it off.

Scott!

He's just gone out.

Hunting again.

Though, what he hunts I haven't a clue.

Never seems to come back wi' owt.

PHONE RINGS

Sparrow Cabs.

Er, yeah, is that for the Fisher wedding?

Supporting law enforcement in this city is a passion of mine.

Not just because I'm relieved it no longer falls to

the Sheriff of Nottingham to uphold the law, but because keeping peace

for our community requires the success of operations like Reacher.

And with that, we have a special commendation for Detective Chief

Superintendent of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit,

Ian SAINT Clair!

SAINT Clair! That's you, mate.

Er, thank you. Thank you.

I don't mean to contradict you, Madam Sheriff,

but it's pronounced the more humble Sinclair, you know.

Oh...

As my mother used to say, it's a mutton name in lamb dressing.

Which didn't stop me having ten bells o' shite knocked out of me

at school, by the way, but...

Anyway. Yes, I was head of this operation,

but the success was down to my team.

They worked tirelessly to get these criminals off our streets.

Now, we all know that policing...

..requires the cooperation of the public.

We need their... their faith, support.

And we find ourselves not in a particularly good place

in that regard at the moment.

And some might say with good reason.

The tradition is that we police by consent,

and if we lose the consent of the people, well...

Now, we have a long way to go to earn back...

..some of that trust.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, that didn't really fit.

Sorry. Felt a bit tight around the, erm...

It's a fitted suit.

That's how it's meant to feel. It feels fitted.

Yeah, well, I just... I just feel better in this.

And a suit's a suit, right?

And nobody will be looking at me.

And if they are, that's a problem, eh?

Hello.

You remember Neel's dad, Andy? Lives next door.

Yeah. Hi.

All right.

SARAH SIGHS

You look, uh...

You do, Sarah.

Are you ready?

Yeah. Yeah. Shall we? Yeah.

Just lock the door for us, Andy, will you? Right, yeah.

Oh, watch your step.

LIVELY CHATTER

Yes, I know... I told you. I literally said get here early...

I know. Don't worry, don't worry. It's all right.

Look, I'll change at the reception. It'll be fine.

That was a lovely service. Oh, thank you.

Cheers.

SARAH: We'll see you there.

Shameless...!

Absolutely shameless.

GLASS CLINKS

ANDY CLEARS THROAT

All right? I'm Andy Fisher.

I know a lot of you know me, and a lot of you don't from Sarah's side,

but I look greatly forward to getting to

know you all at some point.

I know it's ever so sad, of course, that I happen to be

standing here today, of course.

But I'm also very touched that Neel and Sarah have asked me,

in the absence of Sarah's father, who, as you know...

Was a scab. ...can't be with us no more, so...

Thank you, Sarah, for asking me to give you away today.

I'm very honoured.

You're off to the Yorkshire Dales in a couple of weeks

after your, er, like...

...these elections. It's a good choice.

Cos the Settle and Carlisle railway line, which I got you tickets on,

is one of the oldest and most beautiful in all the world.

It is, honestly.

Built in the 1840s by over 6,000 navvies,

many of whom lost their lives.

Some of the most harshest conditions imaginable, cos you had your...

..the wind and your rain and your snow.

And, erm...

Well, smallpox was the biggest killer.

But it stands, I think, as a good metaphor for what

a good marriage is, based on my own very happy life

with my late wife and Neel's mum, Trudy.

The terrain required tunnels to be blasted into the mountainsides,

and viaducts to cross gaping valleys, like beautiful

Ribblehead Viaduct - which I'm sure you've all seen pictures of,

even if you haven't been.

And then there's the incline at Blea Moor.

It's a 1:100 gradient,

which the locals refer to as "the long drag."

Which certain parts in the journey of a marriage can feel like, eh?

POLITE LAUGHTER

But we...we keep going.

Bridging the gaps.

Hey, you should call your daughter-in-law Maggie,

Oh, right, I get it, yeah. Cos she's...

She's a Conservative. No!

Cos tonight she'll be screwing a working man.

It's what they do, in't it, Tories?

Fuck people.

Huh!

Saying that, historically, around here there's a lot

that's happy just to take it.

Some people fuck themselves up.

Oh, hello. What's that, pal? All right?

Andy. Deano.

I said, some people fuck themselves up, don't they?

Act against their own best interest out of pride or...

..stupidity. I don't know.

Ooh, sorry. That's a bit too deep for me.

Thanks, duck. And that's for your trouble, like.

Well, I'll leave you philosophers to it.

Disputes?

Well...

Nothing specific, no. I mean, not...not really.

Well, not anyone that would do that.

Do you want me to call anyone for you?

You know, a friend just to come and sit with you? No.

How about their mum, eh? Shall I give your Rosie a call?

She's on a cruise. She's...

She's...she's abroad.

She won't be back for another week.

Oh, Christ. Don't make me tell her on the phone, please.

It's her dad. I can't tell her on the phone.

Right. Well, we'll call her.

Oh, and Gary's phone - do you know, did he have a passcode at all?

Yeah, yeah, it's, erm...

It's the dog's birthday - 0708.

Oh, bloody hell. The dog!

Was it all right? Yeah.

PIN for his phone. Check his last calls, messages.

You can trace his last route if you like, but she says

he was just to and from the club.

There's a nightclub round here?

Miners' welfare. They call it the clubbie.

Interview the staff there as a matter of priority.

Oh, and there's a dog.

Black dachshund-Jack Russell cross. See if you can find it.

To give a witness statement?

Prints.

Well, you always did promise to invite me round your ends, boss.

Well, it WAS my end.

Go on.

Yep.

I won't speak ill of the... you know, but...

Jacko weren't afraid to...

..you know, speak his mind, like.

He was proud, you know.

Sometimes that could get to people.

And because it's... round here, a lot of folk...

Well, they just want to forget, don't they? You know?

Is she all right, Julie?

There's a family liaison officer with her now.

Right.

The landlady at the club said there was some sort of altercation.

Did you witness that?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

What was it about?

Er, well...

Just name-calling, really, uh...

Yeah, he's been doing it for years, to a lot of folk.

I have... Well, we have, uh...

Oh, it was half ten, maybe.

But we were all home, all three of us.

All three of you? My stepson.

His son, Scott. But he's out.

I'll need all three of you to make full statements. Yeah.

No-one in the family is engaged in, like, any sort of archery?

No.

MEN ARGUE NEARBY

Get a job, will you?

Walk away, son! Like the coward you was back then!

Hey! It's your lot's done this to Gary!

Yeah, you heard me.

You're fucking mental, the fucking lot of you.

Oh, come on, then. Say that again!

Say that to my fucking face! Come on, then!

Say that again! Come on. All right...

Oh, look. Here he fucking comes, eh?

Back up... Like you give a flying fuck. Eh?

All your lot ever did was make things worse!

Go on, piggy. Do your job. Trotter off.

Come on... Get a life! Once a scab, always a scab.

Come on, let's get in, eh?

Sorry.

Take no notice of that lot.

We never forget. We...

...never forget around here.

All right. Well, let us just do our job, eh?

Aye. Sorry, Ian.

He's on the PNC, Gary Jackson.

Arrested in October... October '84, yeah.

I remember. I were a young PC at the time.

Suspected arson with intent. Wow.

Alongside four others.

Charges were dropped following the intervention of another officer.

What?

I can pull the file, if you want to read it.

Oh, you can if you want.

But I were there, so I remember what happened.

PHONE VIBRATES

That's not what I were thinking.

Lab has just sent the results from his phone.

Last text was Friday - to a solicitor in Kirkby.

Chakrabarti. He had an appointment with him...

...today. Well, let's get someone up there ASAP, eh?

Oh, and the man who had a row with Gary last night

is Dean... Dean summat.

Dean...

Dean Simmons. Lives at number 13.

Yeah, I've just been dealing with him out there.

And him and Gary had words at the reception on Saturday,

so I don't care what his alibi is, you make sure you get

his clothes from last night.

Yep, no problem.

In the victim profile, you should mention that Gary were NUM.

National Union of Mineworkers.

He were one of the few round here who kept solidarity with them

during the strike. This was predominantly a UDM village.

Breakaway union. They didn't support the strike, went back to work.

All that was a while ago, ain't it?

I know.

James, let us know when that printer's set up, would you?

Will do, sir.

CROWD CHANTING: We're miners! United! We'll never be defeated!

We're miners! United! We'll never be defeated!

We're miners! United! We'll never be defeated!

A couple of private security cameras confirm

Gary returned home at 10:18pm.

None of them caught what happened.

But he walks past this one at number 23,

turns, coming back up the street, passing it again,

possibly because his murderer called out to him.

Anything else?

Well, what's sort of amazing is that none of the neighbours, bar one,

mentioned the fact that there's an archery range up on a farm,

off the Elmbank Road, run by a family called the Sparrows.

Oh, the Sparrows. Jeez...

They're sort of "that family" round here.

Only been charged with minor drug offences, so far,

but we suspect them of more.

So, I think people are wary of naming them.

Truth be told, some folk round here don't seem massively happy

to be speaking to us, full stop.

Well, don't take it personally.

There's a lot of history round here with the police.

You're doing a good job. You stick to it.

All right, you two.

After this, you go to the Sparrows'. Ta. Mm-hm.

Is anyone, at some point, going to mention the obvious

cultural reference point here?

Bow and arrow, heart of Nottinghamshire -

a modern-day Robin Hood.... Can we not do that?

Start giving nicknames to wanted murderers

and the press gets excited.

And these are good people.

I don't want their tragedy turned into some tacky headline, all right?

Let's meet again at 6:00.

Just give us a sec.

Boss.

You might want to look at this.

Gary Jackson's arrest file.

Some of it's redacted.

Restricted access.

Restricted? Mm.

I assume it's with regards to the information that led to his arrest.

Yeah, but his charges were dropped. Makes no sense.

Well, the officer that intervened to get it dropped was from

the London Met. That might be part of it, different force.

Yeah, I remember him.

Thanks. Yep, no problem.

See you in a bit.

DOOR SHUTS Dad?

Yeah.

Dad, look, I'm sorry. But I did say I had people coming round tonight.

I know, I know, I know. Look, I'll get out your hair.

I just came back... You left the airbed and your clothes

all over the floor. Well, that's why I came back, cos I forgot...

I don't mind you staying here. I like you staying here. Just...

Come on.

Look, I am sorry, Adam, all right?

I know it's not ideal, but...

Yeah... Dad, listen. Mum's going to swing by, too, briefly.

I just thought you should know, in case you came back early.

You know what? I'll twist the knife in even further, shall I?

Save you the trouble? Oh, Dad, come on.

If the two of you worked harder together, maybe...

It's not about trying harder, Adam.

You know, when two people are wrong for each other...

How can you say our family was wrong? All right, all right.

Not wrong. Just eventually...

Just not right enough, you know?

Look, I'll be all right. Don't worry about me.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

DI Salisbury? Yeah.

We have a call coming in from Nottinghamshire Police for you.

Nottingham?

Yeah. DCS Ian St Clair.

Can we transfer that through?

Yeah, Yeah.

Just bear with me.

Just transferring you now.

DI Salisbury.

DI Salisbury, this is Detective Chief Superintendent Ian St Clair.

How can I help?

We're investigating the murder of a local resident here, Gary Jackson.

His record shows that he was arrested in October '84,

but the charges were dropped following an intervention

by yourself, if I recall.

Well, as I'm sure you can appreciate,

that was all quite a long time ago.

We're having trouble accessing some of the relevant details, strangely.

Particularly who provided the information leading up to

his arrest, and whether they have anything to do

with his subsequent murder.

Yeah, well, if it's all right with you, given how long ago it was

and how complicated this particular matter was,

I'd prefer to submit anything in writing, so it's less...

Less clumsy.

Well, maybe I could send you some questions,

and you can get back to me.

Yeah, that'd be fine.

HE SIGHS

We haven't got time for your lot today.

We won't take more than a minute.

You can have it stood here, then, can't you?

Don't need to come in.

Actually, we're investigating a murder.

We wondered if you have any records of regular visitors

to your range thing over there.

Why? Who got killed?

Your records.

This ain't Butlin's. We don't keep records.

People come up, pay cash.

Here.

Ones who book by phone and leave their name, at any rate.

Thanks.

We'll be in touch if we need anything else.

Cheers.

Thank you.

We've looked into this, and, regrettably, it appears

the information Notts Constabulary require relates to

a confidential matter elsewhere, unrelated to the poor victim.

A confidential matter...

Nevertheless, we feel it might be good if you actually went there.

Show willing, offer support, an exchange between forces.

Yeah, and a way to get me to clear off for a bit

while the IOPC deliver their verdict on me.

It'd just be for a couple of days, DI Salisbury.

But since you bring it up, it would be good to discuss what options

are available to you in advance of their decision.

What, firing squad, noose, lethal injection?

You lost your head, Kevin.

A fellow officer is charging you with physical assault.

Yeah, well, this anonymous officer has a history of treating suspects

from certain ethnic backgrounds, shall we say...quite aggressively?

And when I witnessed such behaviour...

Yes, I've seen the X-ray of his arm.

Yeah, and I've seen the posts he likes on social media, so...

HE EXHALES

You've a decent record. Twice interviewed to make DCI.

And yet, for various reasons, it didn't quite pan out that way.

You've gone as far as you can, Kev. Done your 30 years.

Pension in the bag, retirement's there for the taking.

And then all this can go away.

KEVIN SIGHS Look, erm...

My personal and financial circumstances aren't in a...

Yeah, I'm going through a messy divorce.

And I do feel, what with everything else, that...

..I would like to keep working for a while longer.

Please.

Then it looks like you're going to Nottinghamshire, doesn't it?

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Uh, Julie?

Hi. Sorry for calling you late.

It's Ian St Clair.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, go on.

Well, I were just wondering if Gary, erm...

..you know, anything had come up recently about his arrest

during the strike. It's just, we're having a bit of trouble

getting information around that.

What, in '84?

What's that got to do wi' anything?

Well, probably nothing.

Just, you know, we're covering all the bases, that's all.

I probably shouldn't have called.

No. Always call.

I want you to always call, wi' anything.

Are you all right?

No.

But I've got my grandkids here and...

...my daughter's on her way, so...

Are YOU all right?

Yeah. Erm...

Look, we'll be in touch.

All right? Goodbye.

Yeah. Bye.

..totally responsible for that happening, all right?

So don't worry.

You all right, love? Yeah, yeah, fine.
