What's a superintendent doing breaking to Clinton's house?

She knew he was dead. Listen, lady, I'm going to need you

to do whatever it is you do, and get us out of this mess.

We've broken into the superintendent's office.

Get on with it! What are you doing? Taking pictures.

No, of evidence! Of things that could connect her

to the Brightmarsh gang, not knick-knacks!

6pm today to CH.

Care home - that must be what CH stands for.

Oh!

It's her mum! Team Day, on the case!

Day - Dom and Kay. We're not doing that.

Did you murder DI Clinton Blair?

WATER SPLASHES

DULL CRASH

SHUTTER SNAPS

Dom! Dom!

SLEEPILY: Idris, can you get the girls ready for school?

No, we only do that on your birthday.

Dom! What?!

What's happening? Look at this photo! Look at this photo!

What is it? It's one of the photos I took in Edward's office.

You know, the one when we knocked the plant over?

When YOU knocked the plant over. Yes, OK. OK.

But look! Look at the photo. Look at the frame.

"Mum - in loving memory."

In loving memory. In loving memory!

If Edward's mum is dead, then who was he visiting

at the old people's home?

You know what this means?

Team Day is back! Team Day is back! Team...

Don't be burning the electricity up on the lights! Yes, sorry!

Sorry, older Boomy...

SUBDUED VICTORY PUNCHES

I'm telling you, something's going on. Them two PSCOs are talking.

They're working with Feds, fam. Bro, we're working with the Feds.

Yeah, but they could be working with other Feds.

They don't know shit.

What? Last night...

What, bruv?

You see that body that Boss told me to get rid of? Yeah.

I got them to do it.

What the fuck would you do that for? I don't know.

Like all kinds of reasons, innit?

Management delegation, initiation, Soprano shit.

Couldn't get the childcare, man.

But it's cool. I'm handling it.

No, you're not going to do shit.

I'll deal with it. I'll talk to Boss. No, no, no, I'm telling you.

Are you deaf? I just said I'll deal with it.

Could Edwards have two mums? What?

Could Edwards have two mums? Like Quaker Joy in my inter-faith group.

She doesn't have two mums, Kay!

Then how is an old lady involved in a police drugs racket?

That could just be a pretence for her visiting.

Maybe she's seeing somebody else there.

The whole place could be a front for the gang.

How do you mean? I don't know.

Maybe... Maybe they're running their deliveries out of there.

If they're dragging seniors into this, they've just made my list.

Yep.

We got pay a visit to that place.

You got something... Like what? You've just got some sauce there.

Is it gone?

It's OK. OK.

PHONE BUZZES Oh, crap.

I got to go do something.

Something nice? Nope.

Pricey, we need to talk.

Dominique.

You have put me in an unenviable position.

I'm a friend.

Maybe, at one point, you were hoping for something more.

Can't blame me for that.

But I am first and foremost police...

..community support officer.

My first love will always be the law.

And if I suspect a crime, it's my duty to report it.

Damn it. You're right.

We should have known better than to bullshit you.

You're too good a cop.

Your suspicions are correct, but your conclusions are wrong.

What's going on, Dom?

We are indeed working on something and that something is indeed

connected to the death of DI Clinton Blair.

I'm not authorised to say any more. Authorised? Well, by whom?

Are you part of some sort of operation?

I can't tell you any more.

I've already said too much.

Cut me in!

Please. I need it.

Just cut me in.

OK, the people we're working with are aware of you

and your capabilities.

So, if the call comes, be ready.

I was born ready. Tell them that. Really?

No, actually, don't. Yeah, it sounds a bit shit.

It is shit. Yeah. All right. Just saying. Yeah, OK, I get it.

Thank you, Dom. Thank you.

Whoa! Er, just kissing... No! Too much information, sorry.

I just... Be ready. Right.

Thank you. Sorry. Yeah.

The plan is we want to volunteer. So tea and chats with the old folk.

Talk to people, find out what they know.

What if we find out nothing? Find out nothing isn't an option.

What names are we using? Dom and Kay!

Wait. Maybe, maybe we should use different names. Like what?

Er, Sam and...Jay?

Good. Yes. OK.

Oh, am I Sam or Jay?

Just use our real names, it's safer! OK.

"Hello. My name is Kay."

"Hello..." Your name, Kay. Yeah.

Good afternoon! My name is Kay! Stop that!

Well, we're not looking to convert anyone.

It's about us... Us. ..as a church, to serve God...

God. ..through serving the community.

Frankly, we're so understaffed, I don't care if you do try

and convert them...

SHE GIGGLES ..to Islam!

LAUGHS LOUDLY

That's, uh, funny.

So, you are looking for volunteers, then?

Oh, absolutely, yeah. We've got a scheme for it.

Chingford Chatterboxes. SHE GIGGLES

And you're the first, which is exciting.

So, why don't we go for a tour?

Follow me.

We've been Best in Borough four out of the past five years,

and we're CQC rated "excellent" with a special commendation

for our en-suite bathrooms.

Food is all freshly prepared on site using locally sourced ingredients.

All our residents are lovely. It's like a big family,

it really is.

Give Mrs Elmsted a wide berth, though.

She's very much from another era.

Uh, yeah, I'm just going to go to the loo.

Straight down the hall. White cord when you're done,

please, not red. OK.

Tiptoe, Mrs Elmsted...

Oi. You looking for something?

No. No. Just... No. I'm good.

Well, what's your game, then?

You seem a little bit young to be moving in.

Erm, me and my friend, we are volunteering for my church.

Well, how's about volunteering to sneak me into some snouts?

I literally have no idea what you're saying.

Cigarettes, love. They're like gold dust in here.

It's easier to get a piss infection.

Well, that's lovely.

And I'm not going to smuggle in your contraband, so...

Sorry. Well, maybe I'll have a word with Linda, then,

about how you and your boyfriend was discussing false names.

Benson and Hedges. Packet of 20, king size. All right?

All right.

And he's not my boyfriend. So...

Card games are fine as long as everyone's only betting buttons,

because we have had problems with that in the past.

Now, I just need to get you a couple of forms to fill in.

Stop. What are you doing?

Deliveries are meant to be round the back.

Just leave it. Get out.

Bloody useless!

We can give you a hand with those, Linda? Don't touch these!

Because...

Chingford Chatterboxes aren't trained to take deliveries.

It's an insurance nightmare. FALSE GIGGLE

Let's do these forms. Into my office. Let's go.

OK?

Jason! Deal with this!

OK!

That was so weird!

Why was she so weird about the boxes?

Maybe because they're stuffed full of heroin!

Tomorrow, we need to find out what's in those boxes.

This is a case for the Chingford Chatterboxes!

Oh, my God. Do not start making that a thing! It's a thing, Dom.

It's been a thing for a long time! You're so wrong.

Uh, hello? Have you come to apologise?

You'd just love that, wouldn't you? Yes.

I've come to get some clean pants, if that's OK with you.

Am I allowed to ask where you stayed last night?

Well, I stayed at a friend's house.

A male friend's house.

Now, does he ask for any favours in return?

I honestly can't say that he didn't.

Dom, can you pass me a tea towel, please?

My God, Kay, I'm supposed to be the guest!

Now, if you'll excuse me, Morris, clean pants.

Dom, this is ridiculous...

I think someone's been watching my dad's house.

Well, God's watching all our houses, Dom.

Every window, every room. Except bathrooms.

No, I mean, a van has been parked outside our house.

I swear it's been there for days.

13 grand...

13 grand! You stood there in my office,

and we shook hands on 13 grand. Well, not literally,

it was the pandemic. But that's what we agreed.

And a deal's a deal.

OK, that's it.

Let me. Hey, what is... Is that a shank? No, it's not a shank!

It's a Leatherman.

It's heroin, right? Is it heroin?

It's not heroin... Super value meat and gravy.

Locally sourced ingredients? This is what they've been hiding.

No. No, that's not what they've been hiding.

There's probably heroin inside. Definitely heroin inside, right?

There's heroin inside it. Yeah.

I'm sure we're going to get heroin inside. Somewhere.

There's...

There's no heroin inside.

So you're telling me...

You're telling me that for two days, we've been chasing tins of meat?

For two days, we've been chasing tins of meat!

OK! Calm down.

All right? Hold that.

I'm going to go wash my hands. Thoroughly!

Meet me outside.

Ooh, I'm vegan now!

PHONE BUZZES

Ah, shit.

Hello. You ain't been on your corner in two days. Where you been?

Yeah.

No, we've been just trialling this new selling method.

It's sort of like a cross between Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

I'll tell you a secret.

Certain people are getting nervous about you.

I don't think you're stupid enough to play games.

Yeah. I hate games.

Well, you play stupid games...

..we'll kill you.

OK. Sure.

That's not quite how I remember that saying going,

but OK. I'll see you on Saturday.

Don't be late. Don't be short.

Don't be short. Got it.

SHARP WHISTLE

Sake...

I believe you've got something for me.

Yep.

Here you go.

Smoke yourself to death. OK? Thank you.

Yep. ..Officer.

I'm right, then?

I know a copper when I see one.

I was Old Bill myself for 35 years.

Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.

You done me a favour.

I appreciate the salmon.

I'm sorry, what? Salmon. Salmon and trout, snout.

OK, fine. Now I'll do you a favour.

Now, that old bird you were tailing yesterday,

her name is Celia Herrington.

I don't know much about her. She keeps herself to herself.

But there's a story there.

I don't know what it is, but I just got that feeling.

You know what I mean? WHEEZES: Yeah, I know what you mean.

Ooh, strong!

Good stuff.

CH isn't care home, It's Celia Herrington.

The old lady. That's who we need to focus on.

How do you know? Intel from a CHIS.

What? An old dude told me.

Right, Celia Herrington... HE STAMMERS AN ALERT

Marketing manager, Ontario.

Celia Herrington, Pet Care, Leigh.

Celia Herrington, sex worker, Bognor Regis.

Celia Herrington, Celia Herrington...

Nope, she is not here.

Maybe she's not on Facebook. Kay, you're telling me

there's a retired person who isn't on Facebook?

Nah. Something's not right. Oh, flip, I'm meant to be at church.

It's soul impact night.

We need to figure this out.

Or Breeze will literally impact your soul with his hammer.

No, no, no. I'll pray for a solution!

Thank you very much for coming.

You have come to receive, and you have come to be blessed.

All right, God bless you all. See you next week.

All right. Pastor! Yes. Amazing service. Amazing service.

Honestly, I didn't want it to stop.

It's really great to take a deep dive into who begat who!

Thank you, Kayode. Thank you. Can I just grab your radio mic?

Yes, absolutely.

I'm going to fix your lapel there. God bless. God bless. Keep it up.

Yeah. Thank you, sir. Yeah.

Radio mic, Bluetooth.

It's small enough to be hidden, and it will transmit back

to my laptop, so long as it's in range.

Oh, OK.

Now, I've had a look at the photos of Edward's diary,

and she's going to Riverford tomorrow.

So if we use that to record her and Celia Herrington, bang!

Hard evidence of whatever it is they're talking about.

Take that to Thirsty Kirsty!

Not bad!

I always get the best ideas in church!

Or in the toilet. Toilet, in church, I'm basically Einstein.

HE CHUCKLES

BEEP

WHEELS SQUEAK

Oh!

Firm grip on the frame with the right hand,

as the left hand comes up.

Now, a lovely stretch right up...

Here we are. Your hair looks nice.

OK, Dom, send the text, send the text.

PHONE ALERT

Yes!

Over here? Yes, I'd just like to see various plants.

OK.

STATIC CRACKLES

No, no, no, no. No signal.

Oh, come on.

Just turn around because if I could see these beautiful....

PHONE ALERT

Sid! Do you ever try knocking?

It's old-fashioned, but it still works.

Can I trust you? Ey?

Can I trust you?

The only thing you can trust in this game is your own instincts.

I want to stand down. You can't just stand down, Helen.

You knew that from the outset.

I did not know I'd have to cover for the assassination

of a serving officer.

STATIC CRACKLES

Kitty, you've come back! I've been waiting for you for so long.

Oh, get off me.

Just get off me! Nurse!

BEEP

Oh, yes, yes!

Mum doesn't know you.

We've know each other for years!

Nobody could love you like I loved you.

Come on. Oh, come on. Watch your step, darling.

Come on. Got a bit excited there, didn't we?

Do you see the kind of thing I have to put up with here?

Never grow old. No, no, no, no!

It's out of range.

It's out of range!

Sorry, excuse me.

You see here, they've cut all this back far too early.

Sorry. Sorry, ladies and gents, sorry.

I told them it's not supposed to be for the cooking...

It's extra virgin.

Her grandson gave her a laptop, and she's gone from not being able

to use it at all to running what I'm told is called

an OnlyFans account.

Now, push me over here.

That's it. Where we have a little privacy.

CROCKERY CLATTERS

Oi, mate! What are you doing?

What's going on? Linda, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I was, I was trying to get Wi-Fi.

Some of the residents haven't seen the man on the skateboard, uh,

drinking cranberry juice.

And I wanted to show them because it's really feel good.

I'm really sorry. I'm going to go to another room.

The signal's quite weak in here, isn't it?

Look, I'm not here to negotiate. I'm here because I want out.

That would be a grave mistake, Helen.

I've made my decision.

Herbs, things like that.

There's some nice plants over there.

OK. Roses.

OK, we can't use any of this.

This is nothing we can take to Kirsty, anyway.

Shit.

Maybe...

Maybe we should put the mic in her bedroom. And maybe at night...

Dom. ..she might have something more interesting. Dom!

We've got 48 hours left and three grand's worth of gear.

We need to get out there and sell.

Fine.

Meet me out the front. I just have to thank someone first.

Hey, Sid, it's me.

I just wanted to say thank you for what you did.

You were great.

It didn't really work the way we wanted. But, you know.

Sid?

Sid, can you hear me?

Sid. Shit!

Erm, help? Someone help.

Nurse!

Sid?

Ohhh.

Was that your first cadaver?

You do get used to it in this game, I'm afraid.

Not a pleasant man, conversationally.

But he will be missed.

He'd had a big operation earlier this year.

Coronary artery bypass.

You mustn't be thinking you caused it.

Well, I wasn't until just now.

So, thank you.

I just said you mustn't be thinking you caused it.

Again. Thank you.

I'm going to go. I need a shower, so...

I said I'd stay for karaoke.

Karaoke? A man's just died.

It's a care home, lovelies.

Someone's always just died.

Brightmarsh at nine?

Yeah, sure.

HE SIGHS AND SLURPS

Um, there's something I need to say.

So if you could just give me a minute to say it, please.

I wanted to apologise to you both.

That was it. That was the apology.

I know I've been hard on you, Julie,

over the years, but you make my dad happy.

So that makes me happy, so...

Oh, well...

You know, you've always got home here for as long as you...

Sorry. I think we've got everything we need now.

So someone from the station will be in touch.

Thank you.

Wha.. What?

What's going on? There's been a break-in.

As far as we can tell, nothing's been taken.

But they made a hell of a mess upstairs. It's terrible.

SHE SIGHS WITH RELIEF

# I get a kick

# Oh, I get a kick

# Oh, I get a kick out of you! #

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Erm, Enid?

Who's Celia's fancy-man?

It's her son.

I assume it is her son.

He's the only person who ever visits her, apart from her daughter.

Thank you.

Erm, guys, I'm just going to pop to the loo.

I'll be back in five, OK?

Cheers. Thank you, boss.

Excuse me. Excuse me, excuse me!

Please, I need you to take me somewhere.

If you want to go somewhere, you have to use the app.

There's no time. I need you to take me somewhere right now.

You give me tip? Yeah. I'll give you a 10% tip.

20. What?!

OK, OK, I'll give you a 20% tip

if you follow that car. Like in a film?

Yes! Yes, like in the film.

Nice, boss! That's what I'm talking about.

Kay, something mad's just happened

Someone broke into my dad's and trashed my room,

but they didn't take anything.

I think they were after the dossier.

There was that van watching the house.

Kay, where are you?

I'm in an Uber. We're meant to be going to Brightmarsh!

I know, but while I was at Riverford,

a guy showed up to visit Celia Herrington.

Apparently, he's her only other visitor apart from her daughter,

so I followed him. Nice!

Yeah. And I don't feel travel sick at all.

Because you're looking out the front window, boss.

Eyes on the road, please.

Yes, boss. Turn here, please. Yes, thank you.

Pull up, pull up, pull up.

Wow. What is this place?

Kay, what's happening?

Oh, my days.
