We've got a webpage which people are accessing via the Darknet.

Two killers, different murder styles.

One person is posting a target for the other

and the other one's committing the murder?

They're playing a game.

- We are arresting you... - What?

...for the possession and distribution of indecent images of a minor.

Please, Ruth. Surely we can sort this out.

I don't think you should be anywhere near this house.

Why are people doing this to me? I've done nothing wrong.

Jenna Mawson is still in danger and we don't know for definite

that Kenny isn't involved.

Hello. Police.

Mitch?

- Leave us alone. - I have an officer down.

I'm struggling being here,

knowing that the guy who killed Mitch is in this building,

and I'm doing nothing about it.

But there's still someone out there killing.

I think I recognize him.

I think it was the witness at Michael Edgerton's murder.

The one who gave us Steve's description.

He's started to pick his own victims.

The officer, Ian Mitchell,

was murdered whilst attending a house in Colton.

It was there that he lost his life after suffering a knife attack.

Questions are now being asked as to why officers were sent

into such a dangerous situation so woefully ill-prepared.

DC Ian Mitchell is survived by a wife and two children.

The family have asked to...

DS Janet Scott is being hailed as a hero.

It's believed she prevented the death of a 7-year-old child,

whilst reportedly trying to save her colleague DC Mitchell's life.

All at a time when Manchester Metropolitan Police

are coming under increasing pressure

over their handling of a series of murders

connected to a gang of killers

currently stalking the streets of Manchester.

- Sorry. Really sorry. - Jesus!

Tim Canton. I'm a freelance journalist. Really sorry.

You shouldn't be here. You need to speak to the Press Office.

Well, it sounds like you did something amazing yesterday.

I'm sorry.

Maybe you'd be up here talking about your daughter Tasie,

arrested for distributing indecent images of children.

- Just drive on, please. - I just need a story.

I don't care which one it is.

We found where the sandwich wrapper from Steve Dench's car came from.

It's a small chain of eight convenient stores.

So we know he stopped at one of 'em on the morning of Edgerton's murder.

Well, it's somewhere he could have disposed of the gloves

or the hoodie he was wearing when he killed Michael.

And the murder weapon.

Get onto the shops, check those bar codes

and let's see which one he stopped at.

Does he know the shopkeeper?

Is that where he's accessed the website?

Because if we can just find out how he did that

and get his encryption codes,

then we don't just get him for Edgerton's murder,

but we find out who he's playing this sick game with.

I'm on it.

Mitch's brother been in touch to confirm the date of the funeral.

It's a week, tomorrow.

We'll try to allow as many people as possible to attend.

- We all need to be there. - Pete.

You will absolutely be there,

but as we got a critical situation still live,

still active, then there'll have to be a ballot draw for the rest of us.

Didn't take you long, did it?

Looking to make this role more permanent, are we?

Briefing in 10. A word?

You daft cow.

You daft cow. That's three words, not one.

Are you about to tell me off?

Please don't say you're about to tell me off.

Then please don't tell me you went round to Sam's mum's last night

and asked her to drop the charges.

She's made a complaint to the Serious Sexual Offences Unit.

They've asked me to offer you some management advice.

And I really don't want to say this next bit, but I have to.

If you take any more steps to get Ruth or Sam to change their statements,

then you'll be subject to a disciplinary investigation.

How am I guilty now?

Why aren't they trying to help us?

It certainly gives you a different perspective, being on the other side.

You know that you're going a little bit badass crackers, don't you?

Carry on like this and you and Tasie will be occupying

a family room at Holloway Prison.

This isn't you, Janet.

You've always taught me that we have to be by-the-book perfect.

It's the only way that we can do this job and survive.

Yeah, and over the years, you've taught me

that sometimes that isn't enough.

Face-shots of our new suspect at the neo-Nazi rally

will be checked through Viper.

We need to show these to Jenna Mawson.

She's the only person that's been nominated and survived.

She may be able to identify him.

We didn't get a clear shot of the person who murdered Lucas Balicek by the canal,

but we got footage of them walking together.

Is it possible to use gait analysis,

matching how he walks, to prove it's the same bloke?

Yeah, maybe.

Now, we haven't managed to pick this guy up

entering the city on the day of the neo-Nazi rally.

And our trail runs cold on Lever Street

as he leaves the murder scene.

There's loads of car parks in the Northern Quarter.

- They'll be covered with cameras. - Good. Get onto it.

What if we didn't miss his exit from the city center

because he didn't leave?

Because he lives or works there.

Er, Pete, Anna, I want you to take an image, as discreetly as possible,

round the shops and the bars of the Northern Quarter.

Let's see if anyone can give this guy a name.

Why not put out a full media alert?

'Cause the last thing I want is him going to ground

before we've exhausted every other avenue of enquiry.

Should we alert the public? We're talking about a serial killer.

He is gonna kill again.

The investigation has definitely

accelerated the frequency of the attacks.

The first murders were months, years apart.

We've had two in the last week.

It's highly likely he will attack again and soon.

All the more reason to keep our hand close to our chest.

They'll have spent months preparing those early murders.

Tracking their victims, making sure every little detail was in place.

Right now, they are lashing out,

they're ill-prepared, getting sloppy and making mistakes,

and that is how we're gonna catch 'em.

So, this is the same guy who led us to Steve Dench?

Yes, it's definitely the man that gave me the statement

at Michael Edgerton's murder.

And now he's a suspect? Then why give us the witness statements?

He's trying to frame Steve Dench.

So, that makes Steve Dench innocent.

Not necessarily.

Well, this is a game with two people involved.

Maybe this guy just got sick of playing with Steve.

If Steve's guilty.

I wouldn't be surprised if he'd set up other websites,

grooming other people to play the game.

Steve's no longer necessary.

But surely by leading us to Steve, he's risking getting caught himself?

- He's already shown his face to Anna. - He'd love that.

The cheek of it.

He wouldn't think in a million years we'd be able to catch him.

But how can he be sure Steve won't lead us to him?

Unless he knows that Steve can't.

'Cause we have no evidence that these people have

ever met before except on the website.

Well, we searched for the username "Scareitforme" on other websites.

We found it appearing about seven years ago on a snuff porn site.

He was talking to someone called ManSupermensche85.

Now, at that point, the conversations aren't encrypted.

I mean, they've nothing really to hide,

they're just commenting on the images they're looking at.

What we can see is one of them grooming the other,

encouraging him to consider how exciting it must be

to commit these murders.

Then the more dominant of the two

suggests that they go and set up their own website.

Then they start encrypting and we can't see what they saying.

Let's keep the pressure up on Steve Dench.

Question his wife Joanne and Marianne Coleman.

If he is having an affair with Marianne,

then his wife might not be so protective.

Marianne said that she met Steve at 8:00 a.m. That morning.

She says that she sees him most mornings at that time.

And I just wanted to double-check that that fits with your statement

that on the morning in question you saw Steve leave at 7:00 a.m.

I normally hear him leave at that time.

They sleep in separate beds.

So, she didn't see or hear him that morning.

So, he could have left the house in time to commit the Edgerton murder?

Well, there goes his alibi.

Get him back in before Marianne or Joanne can give him any information.

I'll speak to Jenna Mawson.

Do you recognize this man?

Is that one of the men after me?

- We think so. - You think?

- You don't know? - Jenna,

you are safe here. I promise you.

Have you made that promise before?

Look, here's my number.

Have you? How many times?

Have you always managed to keep it?

There is someone outside this flat 24 hours a day.

And there is huge amount of people out there searching for him.

And all of you still haven't been able to stop him.

I'm trapped here on my own.

He knows where I live

and I don't know if the person knocking on my door is here to protect me or not.

How can you promise me that I'll be safe?

You're nowhere with this.

Do you think it's time to hand this over?

What? No. Why?

You're just setting out on your sergeant's career.

Do you really want to put yourself in the firing line like this?

I thought I had everyone's backing.

You have. Well, you did have.

But now they shit's hitting.

The top ranks are coming under a lot of pressure to get results,

and if they can't get them, next best thing is a scapegoat.

You think this is your moment to shine,

but I think if you hold onto this it could be very damaging.

If would be more damaging to walk away and let someone else clear this mess up.

Look, I wanna see this through.

I just need you to trust me.

- What? - Come home, Rachel.

He's been here!

What are you gonna do? Challenge him to a game of rounders?

Don't you dare laugh at me.

Thank God the kids didn't see it.

Callum's at his dad's and, erm,

Holly's at the Arndale.

You don't know that they didn't do it.

We need to call the police.

- They're here. - Not you.

The proper ones with the sniffer dogs and the guns.

Oh, great! Someone else who doesn't think I'm capable of doing my job.

Look.

If you were a kid while all this was kicking off

and you knew that a couple lived down the end of the street,

then what would you do?

Come on.

Yeah, all right.

I'd be drawing bloody great, big chalk stars on their wall.

Of course I would.

Someone would have been in touch if anything had been posted online

and I was in danger, which they haven't. So, there isn't and I'm not.

- Well, ring someone at least. - No, I don't need to.

Why don't you understand that I am the person that you ring?

My bosses already want to chuck me off the case.

How's it gonna look if I dial 999 and say,

"Someone's not playing down their own end,

"someone's drawing chalk stars on my gate."

So, no, I am not ringing anyone.

- Do it for the baby. - Oh, and you can pack that in.

I haven't even checked to see if it's still there today.

It's like you're willing this one away

so you don't have to grieve it's loss.

Stop treating life like it doesn't matter.

I spend my days protecting people's lives.

Start with your own.

Worry about the rest when you know you're safe yourself.

It's okay to be scared of stuff.

Stars.

- Babies. - If you just stop talking right now,

I will call someone.

As soon as you've gone.

Where am I going? A safe house?

What about the kids? They've got school.

No. Back home.

Back to Tony.

I know you've talking these last few days. I've heard you.

I do love him.

I do.

And he's finally admitted that he's a donkey-faced tosser

when he's had a drink.

You should write Valentine's cards.

Well, you're not staying here on your own tonight.

You can stay at ours.

I don't think the reconciliation would last that long if you turned up with me.

Well, can you stay at Janet's?

There's definitely a job going at your place?

Could you put a word in?

Great.

I'll get on to MET's website.

Get an application in.

Still hanging in there, buddy.

No! No, no, no, no.

Ugh!

Ugh!

- We've been trying to call you. - Oh, sorry. Sorry,

I dropped my phone down the loo.

- What happened? - You missed the chippy run.

We got you sausage and mushy peas.

The barcodes narrowed down the sandwich wrappers

to two possible stores.

Neither are between Steve's house and the gym.

So we know he took a detour.

One of them is between

the Michael Edgerton murder scene and the gym.

Get me CCTV from the shop on that morning

and I want a poster search of the area around the shop.

We're looking for that black hoodie and his murder weapon.

Right.

Hi.

- You all right? - Mmm. Yeah.

Oh...

Just a bit of nonsense with our Alison.

Oh. Don't stop eating for me.

I had some proper weird cravings.

Um, Steve's downstairs ready for interview.

Are you prepped?

Um, yeah. There's just a couple things I wanted to run by you.

Steve might not have a connection to the canal victim, Lucas Balicek,

but the woman he's having an affair with did.

Marianne Coleman works at the university in the loan's department

and she said that Balicek gave her a ton of grief

when they turned down his hardship application.

We're getting closer.

Did she say she recognized any of the other victims?

And, um, she's not sure, but she thinks she remembers

telling Steve about the arguments.

So, now we do have a connection.

Caf� Come Home in the Northern Quarter.

They said our suspect comes in most mornings,

first thing, for a double shot of espresso.

- Name? - No.

But they did say that he pays using a smart watch.

So I'm just waiting for details from the payment system,

see who pays that way.

Or we could just make sure we're there when he next comes in.

Did we get Steve back in before Joanne and Marianne left?

Yes.

How long do you reckon his solicitor is gonna let you speak to him

before she insists on rest for the night?

I'm gonna play that to our advantage.

I'm gonna go in there and say...

We've spoken to Marianne Coleman

and as a result, we have new evidence pertaining to Michael Edgerton's murder.

It's very late.

And once again, I'd like to direct you to fact that my client...

Has made a written statement. Yes, that's fine.

And you're right. It is very late.

So, I think that's enough for tonight.

So, I drop that little bombshell,

then we bed him down for the night with no one to talk to

but those voices in his head asking those questions about what we know.

Hardball?

- It's not very you. - No.

Didn't use to be.

Well, let's give it a go and see what happens.

Hi, can we speak to Tasie Scott, please?

Why are they coming at this time?

They have to. It's part of Tasie's bail condition.

At three o'clock in the morning?

They need to make sure nobody can accuse me of getting special treatment.

- You okay? - Yeah.

- Mum. - Where did you get this?

Mel gave it me. She got an upgrade.

No chance. No phones until this is over,

and then you're having yoghurt cartons and a piece of string.

Papa Romeo 1 to Papa Romeo 3-9.

Covert ops are in place. Over.

I can't take Pete seriously when he calls himself Papa Romeo 1.

Papa Romeo 3-9 to Papa Romeo 1. Understood. Over.

Have you got you phone fixed yet?

If your sim will fit, I've got a spare one you can use. Over.

It's got rainbow stickers on it.

I'm just seeing if mine's dried out.

I've had it in the airing cupboard all night. Over.

Thank God the kids didn't see it.

Callum's at his dad's, and, erm, and Holly's at the Arndale.

You don't know that they didn't do it.

We've got someone.

Papa Romeo 2, I have got eyes on him, I can confirm it's our suspect. Over.

Papa Romeo 3-9, let's try and pick him up before he gets into that caf�.

We're arresting you on suspicion of murder.

We've got him.

I want to coordinate them being in the custody area at the same time.

I wanna get those first reactions of seeing each other.

See if they recognize each other or not.

If I were you, I would have a word with him and explain...

Anna.

You found him, so you're up.

- So you were at the neo-Nazi rally? - Yes, I was there.

But it's not what you think.

It's just like-minded people

trying to protect our country and the people born here.

Bit like you, I guess.

Okay.

Well, I was wondering if you could have a look at this footage for me.

I'm now showing Craig Widnes video exhibit RB-12.

I'd like to draw your attention to two specific moments on the film.

I've frozen the footage at one hour, 36 minutes.

Can you confirm that this is you?

Yes.

I think he might be right.

Brilliant!

Great. Would you mind talking me through what you're doing?

Well, in the first clip, I'm being bounced about by some idiots.

It was getting a bit rowdy for me, that's why I decided to leave the rally.

And in the second clip, this clip, I'm tying my shoe lace.

I am now showing Craig Widnes photo exhibit RB-16.

There was chalk star drawn at the place where you were kneeling.

What can you tell us about it?

Yeah, I've seen these in the news,

but I didn't notice it when I was tying my lace.

So, you didn't draw it?

No, keep the questions open-ended.

No.

I'd like to ask you about the statement you gave me

on the morning of Michael Edgerton's murder.

What's she doing? She needs to stick with the rally.

Think you must be mistaken. We haven't met, have we?

Yes.

You gave me the statement about seeing a man running away.

I don't think so.

- Are you 100%% positive? - Yes.

She doesn't sound so certain.

She needs to slow this down. Get back on track.

Take control.

I really don't think so.

Did I give you my name and address?

No.

- Signed a statement? - No.

So, there's nothing to say it was definitely me?

Oh, shit! She wasn't ready for this.

She needs to stop the interview and regroup.

It was me.

At the rally. I admit I was there.

And I can understand why you'd be offended by that.

Now, my political beliefs shouldn't affect how I'm treated.

You're relying on CCTV images, which are poor to say the least.

Have you identified everyone else in that footage?

Have you eliminated them

from your enquiries?

"I left at 7:00 a.m. To drive to the gym.

"I feel that the manner in..."

As I mentioned last night, we spoke to Marianne Coleman

and she confirmed that she'd seen you at the gym as per your written statement.

We asked her how certain she was it was you. She was.

Er, and she was very forthcoming about your relationship.

How would you describe your relationship with Marianne Coleman?

I don't think...

It's just that if you are having an affair with her,

it makes her a somewhat unreliable witness.

So, we wanted to be thorough

and as you're not answering any of our questions,

we went back to your wife, Joanne.

I explained to her why Marianne is unreliable

and asked her if she could give us some more details

about the morning in question.

And what do you think that she said when we explained to her about Marianne?

What she said is

that she didn't actually see you leave the house

on the morning of Michael Edgerton's murder.

- Okay... - Yeah. Yeah, all right.

I should have told you straight.

I left earlier and it was my car parked where you said it was.

I was meeting a bloke about buying some steroids.

That's why I never told you.

I was scared of getting in trouble.

The purchase of steroids isn't illegal. The supply of them is.

So you have no need to worry.

Can you tell me the name of the person that you met?

I don't know his name. He's a friend of a bloke at the gym.

- I was just told to meet him there. - Okay.

Well, can you tell me the name of the person at the gym?

Then we can check him out

and, hopefully, eliminate you from this particular line of enquiry.

- John McEnroe. - No.

- Yeah. - First name off his lips.

You could see him crumbling as soon as he'd said it.

But at least we've got him talking.

- Hello. - The sandwich wrapper's paid off.

We found the hoodie and the gloves.

They were dumped inside a clothes recycling unit

near the convenience store.

Which is pretty bloody clever if you ask me.

Well, not as clever as he thinks he was because we still found 'em.

I want fast track through Forensics,

and I mean proper fast-tracked.

Er...

Craig Widnes' solicitor is kicking off.

He wants to speak to the police inspector about release.

Is there any chance you could have been wrong

- about him being at the crime scene? - No.

- None at all? - I'm pretty sure.

So, why is he being unduly singled out?

Have you Tl-ed any of the other people in the footage?

No, because we've only just located him.

- Has he cooperated? - Yes.

Sorry.

I consider it proportionate to release your client on bail...

You've gotta be joking.

...whilst further enquiries are carried out.

The custody sergeant will deal with the bail.

I have no doubt we'll be speaking to you again very soon.

She's a charmer. She should write Valentine's cards.

And he's finally admitted

that he's a donkey-faced tosser when he's had a drink.

You should write Valentine's cards.

Do it for the baby.

Oh, and you can pack that in.

I haven't even checked to see if it's still there today.

It's like...

Right. I've heard enough, thanks.

Um, so, when I first heard it, I'd thought I'd recorded it myself.

But after what Craig said...

- Could he have done it somehow? - Yeah, you've been hacked.

There's one similar last year.

Turns on your phone's microphone without you knowing.

- Somebody can do that? - Yeah.

It could even be activated by a dodgy text.

Actually, people sign that right away legally every day.

You ever read the Ts and Cs

in all those messaging and phone apps you download?

- No. - Nobody does.

You see, when you click "agree",

you've got no idea what you're actually agreeing to.

Loads of them say they can access your information,

your microphones, without you knowing.

This hack just does it without you ticking the box.

I don't like this one bit.

- We need Craig picking up sooner. - Yeah.

Good. Could you give us a minute?

Yes.

Yesterday, you begged me to trust you.

That same day, you were keeping information from me

that could not only jeopardize the case, but could put your life in danger.

I told you, I thought I'd recorded it by mistake.

I'm not talking about the recordings.

I'm talking about the star outside your house.

The fact that you're pregnant and haven't disclosed it.

If I'd have thought for one minute that the star was a credible threat,

then I would've come straight to you.

That's not your call to make.

I think,

for the benefit of the case and for the safety of yourself

and your unborn child,

I think I have no other choice than to take you off the case.

You know what this has cost.

You take me away from this and you're as good as saying that I failed.

You said don't throw away your career

and now you wanna sign its death warrant? No!

No, I'm going to London. You can go and fuck Manchester

and forget the baby! And they can stick the bastard job!

- Do you want me to go? - All she said was you need to go home

and calm down while she thinks about it.

I don't need to calm down.

I know, you've got Dalai Lama written all over you.

- Better? - No!

Give me a minute.

I hate this shitty place.

My girlfriend wants me to consider quitting as well.

- I'm not quitting. I'm escaping. - Why?

I know. I keep telling her,

"I'm a Chinese lesbian.

"Lop my leg off and I'll be superintendent by the end of the year."

After Mitch's death, she's wondering if this is the right job to do.

And doing this case, I'm wondering if she might be right.

What and let the blokes do all the dirty work?

You can't let them scare you away. Have you heard her?

Have the last 20 years meant nothing?

Do you know what people like Gill and Dodson and me have had to put up with

so that you can be here, being brilliant.

We're not gonna be around forever.

They're bringing Craig Widnes back in to ask him about my phone.

Dodson doesn't think that I should stay at mine tonight, so, can I, um...

Of course.

I'm going to get my scan.

Wherever I end up, I'm gonna need my MATB1 certificate.

- But you've decided to have the baby. - No.

No, um, Dodson insisted for procedure.

I've got Anna trying to find a connection

between Widnes and any of the victims.

So, what's your plan for Steve?

Well, he still thinks that he can talk his way out of this,

but he hasn't accounted for all of his movements

on the day of the murder.

So, I'm going to delay disclosure regarding the hoodie.

I want to keep that back to keep him gabbing.

If forensics come back positive,

the hoodie only gets us Michael Edgerton's murder.

So, we need the weapon

and the device that Steve used to access that website

if we're going to get him for the rest.

I'll have my phone on me.

Good luck.

You have one new message.

Hi, it's Jenna. I'm going to Victoria Station.

Can you meet me there, please?

For the purposes of the recording, I'm showing Steve exhibit JB-2.

What can you tell me about this man?

I don't know him.

We're investigating this man as a possible suspect

in the murder cases that we're talking to you about.

What would you say if I told you that it was this man's statement

that brought you to our attention and led to your arrest?

I said, I don't know him.

Well, you might not recognize him,

but that doesn't mean that you don't know him, does it?

You might have met him online, on social media, perhaps?

No. I don't know him.

It's our belief that the man with whom you've been plotting and committing

these murders is doing his best to make sure that we catch you

and that you go to prison for a very long time.

What have you got to say about that?

Look, I told you. I lied.

That was only about meeting the guy with the steroids.

You said it was okay.

- John McEnroe? - Yeah.

We couldn't find anybody with that name registered at your gym.

Well, that's what he said his name was. He did.

Look, I don't know anything about these murders

or this bloke or any websites.

Okay. You should try and calm down.

Why did you just mention websites?

Because you're asking me about the Internet.

Yeah, that's right, I was, but I was talking about social media.

So, what are these other websites that you know nothing about?

I just meant Facebook and Twitter.

How about the website "Taking Out The Trash"?

What does that mean to you?

Nothing.

Have a little think.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Why don't you believe me?

You're looking quite distressed, Steve. Can you tell me why that might be?

Because I feel like I'm being set up.

- Who by? - You.

Oh, I thought you meant the man who'd given us the statement.

Yeah, him as well.

And what reason do you think he might have for doing that, Steve?

How should I know? I've never met him, this man.

I haven't talked to him on a website.

What... Why is he doing this to me?

Well, as I said before, we think that you've been set up.

We think that you've been set up all along.

So you think I'm innocent?

I think you've been used.

I think that you've been groomed into committing these acts

and now you're being set up to take the fall for them.

And I think that, if that is the case,

it's in your best interest to come clean and help us catch this man

before he hurts anybody else.

Hey, Jenna. Where are you?

Jenna!

Jenna! Where's Jenna?

Where's Jenna?

Jenna!

Where's Jenna?

Okay, so, on the day that Michael Edgerton was murdered,

I wondered if you could talk me through the rest of your movements?

- I was at work. - How did you get to work?

- I drove. - How many cars do you have?

Just the one.

Which way did you go?

Princess Road and then the A34.

We checked all of the ANPR for that route on that day,

it's a busy route, so there's lots of cameras,

and we didn't pick up your car once.

Can you tell me why that might be?

If you didn't drive, how did you get to work that day?

Actually, I wanted to do some work on the way there, so I took the bus.

The quickest bus is 56 minutes,

the slowest, one hour, 36 minutes.

So, how is it possible for you to get from the gym

to the bus stop, catch a bus and get to work

in 45 minutes?

- I got a lift. - Who with?

I'm not gonna give you a name.

I'm not dragging anyone else into this.

We need to search Marianne Coleman's car.

He was using it on the day of the Edgerton murder.

Yeah. Do it.

According to Michael Edgerton's girlfriend,

Michael was a cleaner for Craig Widnes' proxy company.

Pass it on to Dodson.

Yeah.

Okay. All right.

I need a unit at Hunts Bank, Victoria Station basement now!

Rach? Rach?

Hunts Bank, Victoria!

Get the transport police in that basement now!

You cannot stop this.

I can stop you.

Transport Police!

Don't move!

Stand still!

Drop your weapon.

Arrest him.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention when questioned something

which you later rely on in court...

Steve Dench was desperate not to mention Marianne's car.

They found the knife

and they found the phone he used with the encryption codes.

So, that'll give us access to details of all the murders.

We stopped them.

Not soon enough.

Four months old

and that hand already looks like it could hold a pint pop.

It stuck around this long,

I reckon it's earned its space in the bottom drawer.

We can always sell it on the dark web if it gets on me nerves.

So, you're staying in Manchester?

Yeah.

I need to teach kids like Anna that we've got every right to be here.

Besides,

you oldies won't be around forever.

Less time than you think if I carry on breaking the law.

I used Tasie's phone and got Sam to send some new pictures.

Yeah, I know, I know.

But when I show them to the CPS, the case will collapse.

I had to prove that Sam's not a victim.

What about your job?

We'll see if...

Nobody has to know that it wasn't Tasie who texted Sam.

You've changed.

I'm turning into you.

No need to sound so upset about it.

Jan,

you did what you had to do.

I shouldn't have had to.

Sometimes we don't have a choice.

I can't wait till it's born. I might actually get me life back.

I've been gagging for a fag and a drink.

- I have not been sleeping properly. - Yeah.

As soon as it's born, nothing but sleep.

- You're in for a shock. - Oh, don't sound so smug.

You're in prison if I grass you up.

I knew I shouldn't have told you.

Free babysitting for life.

Oh, God.
