CROWD CHEERS

Are you going to the after party? Maybe.

Well, maybe I'll see you there.

Hey?

What's your name? Issy.

Can you see him?

White and black jacket by the bar? Yeah.

CROWD CHEERS

What are you doing? What are you doing?!

CHRISTIAN SHOUTS

Mum?

What have you done? I warned you, Christian.

What have you done?!

What you thinking about?

Stuff.

It might never happen, you know?

Do you promise? Yeah.

I promise.

Oi?

That's for, Nick's birthday. Ah!

I wondered what we were celebrating.

Celebrating? More like drowning my sorrows.

Oh, Christ. Is that today? Hmm.

You sure it's what she wants to talk about?

She's barely spoken to me for months and now, suddenly,

she wants to have a catch up.

Well, maybe it's for the best.

I don't want a bloody transfer. Why can't they just give me

a decent case and leave me alone?

I meant for us. Hmm.

PHONE BUZZES

Issy with an S.

It's a work thing. The other, other woman.

She's a contact.

Sean, I'm teasing. It's better that I don't know.

You don't need to tell me anything.

Maybe I do, actually.

What do you mean? Not now. We're late as it is.

Aren't you coming in with me? No, I need to pop home.

Oh, is Helen coming back today? Yeah.

I should at least try and make it look like I've been living there. Mm.

See you.

'Yeah.

'I've unmade the bed, dirtied some dishes.'

Are you heading in? 'No, I'm meeting someone in Clifton.

'Listen, I meant what I said.'

What, about your contact?

'About them wanting to talk to you about the transfer.

'It really might be for the best.'

How come?

'Well, maybe it's a sign you should be thinking of early retirement.

'And I should too.'

What - are you thinking about leaving the force?

'Yeah, and my wife as well.'

Are you sure? 'I want to be free, Hannah.

'Free to be with you.

'To..to take care of you, to buy you things,

'like, expensive bottles of scotch...'

..and beautiful black dresses.

Have you - have you been at that bottle?

SEAN LAUGHS

'Hey, if we...'

MUFFLED NOISES

Sean?

Sean, are you there?

'Hi, this is Sean. I can't take your call, please leave a message.'

You've got an exemplary record, Hannah.

You've got nothing left to prove.

Hannah? Yeah..yes?

Are you even listening to me? Um, yeah, yeah.

Of course. Uh, you said that it wasn't personal.

Well, it's not.

I know it probably sounds like a bit of a desk job,

but at this stage of your career perhaps that isn't such a bad thing.

Hannah?

Sorry, erm, I was just wondering,

have you heard from Sean at all this morning? No.

Why do you ask?

It's just that I thought that he'd be back by now.

Back from where?

He said that he was meeting a contact.

He told you that?

Uh, yeah. Yeah. This morning.

He doesn't need a baby-sitter, Hannah.

No. No, no, of course not.

Let's focus on the matter in hand.

'Hi, this is Sean. I can't take your call, please leave a message.'

Hello.

OK, thank you, that's OK.

Fine.

No? OK. Thanks for your time, bye-bye.

'Hi, this is Sean. I can't take your call, please leave a message.'

Sean, erm, it's me.

Look, I, I'm worried now. Will you call me back? Bye.

CAR HORN BEEPS

'..beautiful black dresses...'

SEAN LAUGHS

Hi, good morning.

Sorry to bother you. Erm, I was just wondering,

did you happen to see a blue Volvo parked outside the shop

this morning? Shortly after nine?

Uh, yeah, that sounds about right. I don't know if it was a Volvo,

but it was definitely blue. And what made you notice it?

I didn't at first. It was the driver who caught my attention.

Oh, what was the reason for that?

He was stood outside the window for ages,

staring at that dress.

OK.

Is that him?

I'd have bet anything he was going to come in and buy it.

You can usually tell the type.

So, what stopped him? I don't know. next time I looked,

he was standing by his car. That's when I noticed it was blue.

And, then he just drove off?

Couldn't tell you, this grey van stopped and blocked my view,

and, by the time it moved, the car was gone.

OK, thank you.

Have you made up your mind on the dress?

There are cameras all over that part of town.

Can someone check through the footage? I'll do it.

Thanks, Rachel.

Marcus, Fran, Darius, will you go door to door?

Sure. Yeah.

Should we get uniform to help?

Let's keep this to ourselves - could be a wild goose chase.

Anything you'd like to add?

Billy, have you got a moment?

Well done.

For what?

For finding that witness - bit of a needle in a haystack.

Not really.

Oh, come on, Hannah. You just happened to make a beeline

to the one person in Clifton who noticed Sean this morning?

There's clearly something you're not telling me.

Leave it, Billy. It's not material.

So...why am I here?

Sean told Hannah about a contact.

You've been working with him recently.

I thought it might help if she talked you through what he told her.

His contact is called Izzy.

Hang on.

He told you her name?

Uh, not exactly. It was an accident.

Well, what else did he tell you?

Almost nothing, but I'm pretty sure that he was on his way to meet her.

But you're not certain?

Uh, well, he mentioned her this morning.

Uh, but why were you with Sean this morning?

Billy...

And then, when I spoke to him again, later on,

he said that he was meeting someone in Clifton,

and then our call got cut off, just like that.

And that's it? Yeah.

Just take a look through his current investigations.

See if anything stands out.

OK.

And work with Hannah on it.

You fucking cowards.

Show yourselves, you fucking cowards.

Come on.

Yeah, yeah, go and do that way. I'm gonna go in there.

I was just wondering if you've seen a blue Volvo around here. No, I ain't see anything.

I'm from Avon and Somerset Police.

I'm sorry. OK.

OK, Issy.

Hi.

Any luck?

Look, I... I haven't been completely straight with you.

I found this in the street where Sean went missing.

What makes you think it's his?

There's a text message from Issy.

Why did you not tell Tina?

Well, it's hardly regulation, is it, a second mobile phone?

She's not a complete jobsworth, you know.

You don't get as far as she has by doing everything by the book.

So, what do I do with it?

What do you want to do?

Well, I don't know. Text her?

See if I can find out anything that might help us track down Sean?

You can't go... You can't go blundering blindly

into someone else's investigation, Hannah.

Who says I'm blundering?

We don't know for certain if Sean is missing.

He won't thank us for scaring off a contact

if he walks through that door tomorrow morning.

For God's sake, Billy.

Issy clearly doesn't know that Sean is missing.

I can just pretend to be him.

You never know, she might give us something to go on.

This conversation never happened.

It's your funeral.

Hannah. Hello, Samantha.

Hi, hi.

I haven't got the wrong day?

No, no, it's today. Come in.

How are you? Very well. Nice to see you.

Nice to see you too. You look very well. Thank you.

Happy birthday, Nick.

Hannah! I didn't know you were invited.

Well, I think it was one of those invitations

where you're not expected to show up. Nonsense.

How are you?

Ancient, knackered.

The twins make me feel my age.

Oh, the girls full of beans? Full of beans.

Hmm, this might take the edge off.

Hey.

You shouldn't have.

I'm not sure that Samantha will approve.

And that is why I love it.

Have you... Have you heard from him?

Christian? Hmm. He's in the kitchen.

Christian's here tonight?

He is my son, Hannah.

Well, of course, I know that. It's just...

Go on, you should speak to him.

I will.

It's the least you can do.

But go easy on him.

Nick, that's the problem. We always did.

Hi.

How are you?

Got any fags?

No.

Your dad used to hide some in your Coco Pops.

You'll only find muesli in there.

Bingo.

CHEERING IN NEXT ROOM

Are you working? What's it to you?

In a restaurant.

Oh, well, that's great. I used to love waiting on tables

when I was a student. Yeah, I'm a dish washer.

Well, that's good too,

as long as they're paying you enough to live on.

Yeah, and keep me out of trouble. That's not what I meant.

You'll be asking if I'm paying my taxes next.

Christian...

They're good to me.

I'm pleased for you.

So, what about you? You still chasing petty criminals?

You'll be handing out parking tickets before you know it.

Well, it's a good job you can't afford a car.

This is a no-smoking household.

Hand it over.

CLATTERING AND LAUGHTER IN NEXT ROOM

I've been told to tell everyone it is time for cake.

We're just coming.

This is a great wine, Christian.

I know. Can you believe it?

It's Croatian, from his restaurant.

Oh, the owner's Croatian?

Ahem, ahem...

Are these mine?

For God's sake, don't tell Samantha.

I'm glad to know that you're doing OK,

after what happened.

You mean, after what YOU did!

SHE SIGHS Fuck's sake.

You looking for this?

I...thought I'd try and guess his password.

I'm way ahead of you.

Oh, is that legit, Billy?

Did you tell Tina?

You've very funny, you know that?

I see you've dressed for the occasion.

So, listen, I think that everything we need

we're going to find on that laptop.

Which file did you go into, Billy?

I apologise in advance. I make terrible coffee.

Thank you.

SHE SIGHS

How well do you know Sean?

Not at all really.

Said he was investigating an Eastern European drug connection,

asked my advice.

Oh, why is that? Is that your speciality?

Allegedly.

That's why I was seconded here.

Uh, from the National Crime Agency?

Aye.

So, where were you before the NCA?

It's probably better you don't ask me that.

Security services?

SHE CHUCKLES MI5.

HE CHUCKLES

You can tell me to piss off if you want.

Yeah, well, I might do.

But how does the son of a police officer end up

serving 21 months for possession with intent?

It's an age-old story.

It's a...painful divorce,

Dad gets a new family,

Mum gets a Tinder account and, um...

..Christian gradually falls off the rails.

Been there. Got the T-shirt.

Tinder account? HE CHUCKLES

No.

Painful divorce.

Have you got kids?

Aye. 16-year-old.

Hates my guts. Ah.

That was pretty hardcore, what you did.

Hm. Well, I...

I thought he'd get a suspended sentence.

A wake-up call?

It would've been so much worse without Sean.

He's been amazing. He stepped right up.

He visited Christian every couple of weeks, every week.

Staying out of trouble?

THEY CHUCKLE Yeah.

Been working out?

It relieves the boredom.

You get the money I sent?

I'll pay you back. No need.

I-I will, though.

For everything.

The way you stood by me, spoke up for me in court.

Anyone would've done the same.

Well, they didn't.

Seriously...

..are you coping all right?

Yeah.

I made a friend. We're looking out for each other.

So...

..what are you going to do next?

Sorry.

You were saying?

Forget it, it can wait. No, go on.

I asked what your plan was.

What you going to do for money?

Oh, don't worry, I'm all sorted.

I can take care of all of that for you, you know?

There's no need.

Uh, this guy I told you about, Stefan, he's got me a job.

A dealer guy you met inside?

It's not what you think.

It's in a restaurant, like, washing dishes.

And you're sure it's legit?

I'll soon find out.

MAN GROANS, GASPS

HE GRUNTS

Krajina.

Krajina!

Krajina...

That sounds Croatian.

Serbo-Croatian technically, but, close enough.

It means "frontier," I think, or something like that.

Oh, for God's sake, Billy.

Don't shoot the messenger. This stuff is all over Sean's files.

And that word over and over again.

Krajina.

How come you recognise the lingo?

Um, my ex and his family fled the civil war.

He was always trying to get Christian to speak it.

How about you?

Oh, I spent a wee bit of time in that neck of the woods.

In the '90s?

Sorry about the mess.

Here, a little bit extra.

There's no need. That's my job.

Keep it up.

HE GASPS

WATER BUBBLES

HE GRUNTS, GASPS

HE COUGHS

Hey, lunch.

Hey.

Wow. You're jumpy.

Sorry.

They won't eat you.

Perhaps you should, um, take off the...

Right.

Hey, man. Come, sit.

Welcome to our table, Christian.

Is this your first time?

Shame on you, Mama.

The boy's been working here three months.

I wanted to make sure he was staying first.

He'll eat with us from now on.

Stefan? Mm?

Not at the table, please, Davor.

It's urgent.

He doesn't speak Croatian.

What kind of Croat are you?

Born and bred in the UK, I'm afraid. My mum's English.

But your surname's Radic.

Yeah, my dad's from Rijeka, I think.

Ah, so's my grandmother.

Small world, hey.

I heard you have a Croatian tattoo.

It was Stefan's idea.

To show the time we served together and the roots we share.

You should go.

Now?

Yes, now. And take Christian.

Let him finish.

See you later.

Thank you.

Come on! Go, go, go!

Come on! what you got? What you got?

Come on. Oh-ho-ho!

No! Ah!

Oh, you're losing it. Ah!

Arsehole. Oh!

Yeah, you were right by the way. About what?

The restaurant.

It's definitely a front for something.

Seriously? You think it's drugs?

What else would it be?

The family's not on our radar, must be pretty small-scale.

Not from what I've seen.

There's cash everywhere.

So...get the hell out of there.

No. I'm staying.

Don't be an idiot.

You can't afford to get mixed up with that shit again.

I won't.

I thought maybe... Maybe what?

I could feed you information.

What?

About what they're up to.

Help you investigate, take them down.

No fucking way.

You're practically family. It would be totally unethical.

Illegal even.

Look, they don't know I understand Croatian,

so I could listen in, report back.

They're starting to trust me.

It's a terrible idea.

Why?

It could be dangerous.

What are you trying to prove?

I'm not trying to prove anything.

Is this about Hannah?

No.

HE LAUGHS

Jelly Tots? Yeah.

What's wrong with Jelly Tots?

No, it's just... Oi!

You keep your grubby hands off.

So, what we doing here?

You're helping me recover a car.

What kind of car?

The kind that needs to disappear.

Why?

You ask a lot of questions.

You said you'd show me the ropes.

There's a guy, he was causing trouble.

Which guy?

You drive this one. Follow me.

PHONE BUZZES

HE LAUGHS

Hey, man. What's up, man? Huh?

What happened to the guy? Gone.

The car's gone, he's gone, it's all gone.

HE LAUGHS

Woohoo!

Come on!

Oh, man.

What's up, man?

HE LAUGHS This is mad!

Let's go.

Oh.

Finish it.

HE GROANS

Ugh.

KNOCKING

I need to speak to you.

I'm in touch with Izzy, Sean's contact.

How on earth?

I found this phone in the street outside the shop.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I'm telling you now. He's been using it to communicate with her.

And so have you?

She knows that I'm not Sean.

Izzy was all we had to go on.

Argh.

HE GROANS

Hello?

Looks like Sean has definitely had this place under surveillance.

I've eaten there. It's in Clifton.

So, what are we waiting for?

Hang on.

We don't have a warrant. Or reasonable grounds.

But you definitely think that Izzy works there?

I only know it's on Sean's radar.

Maybe we should take a look.

We've just had a call.

There's a badly beaten man that fits Sean's description.

Where? The Mendips.

I want the site locked down - now.

HE PANTS

Come on, here. Ugh.

Again.

PHONE RINGS

HE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS

Hello? Um, hello.

My name is Hannah, I'm a colleague of Sean's.

I need to speak to him. Can I speak to him? Yeah.

Sean, it's me, it's Hannah.

It's Hannah. HE PANTS

Listen, you've got to hold on. We're minutes away.

Izzy.

Yeah, it's OK. It's OK.

I know about Izzy.

PHONE PINGS

You've got to be strong now.

Just hang on, just hang on, Sean. Please, stay with me.

HE GURGLES

We're nearly there.

DOGS BARK

I'm sorry.

Sean? Sean!

Armed police! Show yourself.

Clear. Clear!

Come on, come on.

SHE WAILS

Copy.

The dogs have found Sean's trail.

He came from the west.

And the shooter?

His tracks are all over the place,

until he suddenly turns and walks straight here.

Well, maybe he saw something?

Or maybe someone told him where to look.

PHONE VIBRATES

PHONE VIBRATES

As you know, one of our colleagues has been missing,

and I regret to inform you that today we've lost Sean Hardacre.

This is now a murder investigation

and we will do everything in our power

to bring the killer, or killers, to justice.

Hannah...

..we have to tell you something.

We believe we have a leak.
