'17 years.

'That's how long this man has
inflicted untold pain and fear

'on the most vulnerable
members of our community.'

He thinks he owns those streets.

Like he owns the
homes he breaks into.

Go out and show him you do.

'What we've got here is
all the available cameras

'on the edge of your plot.'
'He was out last night.'

'Three burglaries.'

Yeah, he's got to
be in a car as well.

My money's on Morton
Way, straight down.

And that's the only vehicle to go
down Morton Way in our time frame.

That looks like a small
people carrier to me.

Yeah, maybe a Zafira.

'Coming so close
is disappointing.

'I'm certain we'll
get a second chance,

'but only if we stay
sharp and focused.'

'Operator, which
service do you require?'

Police...
He's breaking in!

'I'm sorry, did you say police?'

He's in my house! 'Is there
somewhere you can hide, Sheila?'

'Sheila?
What's happening?'

The police are coming! The police
are coming! The police are coming!

There he is!

We're monitoring a CAD from LX,
a foot chase following a break in

at the home of an elderly woman.

'MP from Lima Oscar
Three One, active.

'PC 1-2-6-3, chasing
suspect on foot.'

'Who is this bloke?'
'He's just a man, Colin.

'A sad, sorry, messed-up
excuse for a man.'

All right,
settle down. Settle down.

Thank you. The
guv'nor wants a word.

Two weeks after coming
so close, I suspect,

oh, sod that, I know,
cos I've heard you,

some of you reckon
he's gone to ground

and this is just a big,
expensive waste of time.

OK, the near-miss might've
spooked him into packing up,

I concede that.

But I take a different view.

I think it'll drive him back
into operating in the one place

we know he feels safe.

Our key lead remains the grey Zafira
- and I know you all know that -

but take another look at
these different angles.

Imprint them on your brain, so that
at a glance, or from a distance,

you can clock it.

Thank you very much.

34. Cheers, Nath.

There you go. Thanks, Nath.

Bring it back in one piece...
Are you all right, guv?

Well, you've seen
it at Central 3000,

after midnight nothing happens.

Foxes and a few inquisitive cats,
that's the extent of the action.

I am genuinely worried they're gonna
start nodding off. No way, boss.

Or they get so used
to nothing happening

they don't clock
it when it does.

Well, I just can't
see that. Why not?

Very first night, he drove
right through the plot.

We didn't know he
drove a Zafira then.

How many vehicles went
through that night? Five?

They could've at least got a reg!
With respect, Sir, that's harsh.

Clocking the number
plate from an OP

and in the dark isn't exactly
easy. Yeah, you're right, Neville.

I just want to get him before
they pull the plug on us.

You think that's
imminent? I don't know.

Come on.

Central 3000 will manage
for one night without us.

'OP3 in position.'

'OP44 in position.'

'OP32 in position.'

'OP27 in position.'

We weren't expecting
such august company, Sir.

Oh, well, we don't want any fuss,
just want to see how it's done.

This way. Thank you.

Actually, we're
down an OP tonight -

it's good to have
you. Evening.

We'll bring you a cuppa for
when the curtain goes up.

Much appreciated.

If you can handle things here,

we'll be in a scout hut
down the next street.

Don't worry, we're not
sleeping on the job.

After midnight it gets colder
than a witch's tit in here.

'OP17 in...'

'OP20 in position.' Received.

Do you know U2?

What, the band? Yeah.

Yeah, course I do. How
old d'you think I am?

I was massively
into them as a kid.

I saw them at Wembley
on The Joshua Tree tour.

That's a good album. I
got it on vinyl somewhere.

Right, so, you know the
song, Bullet The Blue Sky?

Yeah. Well, I had this t-shirt
with the lyrics printed on it.

You know, "I can see
those fighter planes,"

over a picture of
a woman screaming.

I was dead pleased with it.

You know, it was
serious, political.

Yeah. Not "Frankie says relax".

Right. Not "Choose life".

But whenever I wore
it my mum would go,

"Can you see those
fighter planes yet, Nev?"

That's
mums for you.

What made you think of that?

Dunno.

Just...

I never did see any
fighter planes, so maybe...

You got that feeling
now, have you?

Yeah. Yeah, I do, guv.

I mean...

..if this doesn't work,
then... what then?

I tell you what.

When he does show
up, we've got him.

He sets one foot on the plot and
he'll stick out like a fucking...

All units, all units,
from OP6, be aware.

We have a male on foot, Lavinia
Gardens towards Morton Avenue.

Dark hoody worn up, no
better description, stand by.

He's entering the driveway of
number six Lavinia Gardens.

OP4. OP4. Did you receive?

'OP4. Received.'

Stand by, stand by. He's
down the side of a house.

'Mobiles standing by
and ready to deploy.'

We could be watching him work.

Negative, I repeat, negative,
all units are to stand by.

Shit. What's that, a torch?

Should we make
a move, guv? No.

No, if we blow our cover,
then we've blown the op.

Just wait till
we're sure it's him.

Stand down, stand down, it's a
young white male going home to bed.

'Lucky bastard.' OP6 out.

'Mobiles standing down.'

You OK?

I'm stiff as a board!

I don't know how they
do it night after night.

They sleep in the day, for one.

Can't you go in later?

I've got a Health
and Safety briefing.

I missed the last two and
it's been suggested from above

that I might want to
start taking an interest.

Or what? I'm not giving them
any excuse to take my toys away.

Well, you get killed on the M25,

they'll be the ones who
need Health and Safety.

You know, delegation's a hallmark
of strong, not weak, leadership.

Louise... You're running
yourself into the ground.

Cos Nathan's away.

It's possible to care about your job
and find... I don't know, balance.

Not for me. How hard
have you looked?

That's the way I am, in for
a penny, in for a pound.

I envy people who can
leave their work at work.

No, you don't.

You're gonna be late.

Yes, I am.

It's watching you
these last weeks...

I know it's been frustrating,
nerve-wracking, exhausting...

I'm just not sure...

I'm just not sure... it's
just about catching this man.

What d'you mean?

I think you're going
at it this hard

because you know
it's the last time...

..and you're dreading
that more than anything.

I mean, just look at you.

You're out all night in the cold
and straight back in this morning.

You don't want to miss a
thing, or waste time sleeping,

cos you know how big a
hole that's gonna leave.

And I don't blame
you. How could I?

You're in your element,
it's just who you are.

I just hope when it's
over, when you're done...

that what we have is
enough. That I'm enough.

And you can make your peace with
pub quizzes and garden centres.

Yes to the former,
no to the latter.

Oh, go on, make a joke of it.

Unless under duress
or in disguise. Colin.

You're right.

I am scared about what's next.

The job's all I know
and, to be honest,

I can't even imagine
what it's gonna be like.

Right, I'd better go.
We'll be all right, though?

I hope so.

We are all set.

Observation points will
be radioing in any minute.

Cheers, Michelle.

All right? They let
us go a day early.

Oh, yeah? What's that, time
off for good behaviour?

Something like that, yeah.
How was it? Yeah, fine.

But, erm, you've had
a bit of a time of it,

so I'm relieving you as of now.

Oh, no, I appreciate the
thought but I'm here now...

I second that. Do us all
a favour and bugger off.

Do you want a
coffee? Yeah, please.

Take tomorrow off, too.

It's the weekend, guv.

Er... OK.

All right. Yeah. OK, cheers.

Anything I should know?

Er, well, in the
increasingly unlikely event

that we should actually
need to stop someone...

Colin Sutton, disillusioned?
I don't believe it.

It is essential that we do it as
far away from the plot as possible.

OK...?

So that if they are ruled out they
won't know where they were stopped.

Less chance of the op
and its location leaking?

Nice to have you back,
Nathan. Thank you. Thank you.

Nine o'clock.

That's a Zafira, right?
Behind that red Citroen.

Yeah, that's a Zafira.

Facelifted model and
the colour's right, too.

And it wasn't parked there

or any of the surrounding
streets in the last fortnight.

Call it in.

Control, Control from OP6,
can I give a circulation?

'Go ahead, Six.'

We have a grey Zafira

parked opposite our OP on
Lavinia Gardens, facing east.

We haven't seen it before.

It's of the right colour
and age to be of interest,

so can all units please
bear this in mind

in case we put it
up as moving later?

All received, OP6. All units,
all units, please be aware

there is a grey Vauxhall Zafira

stationary on Lavinia
Gardens, facing east.

It has not been seen previously

and OP6 will update if
there is any movement.

Control out.

Not even a partial on the reg?

'Sorry, totally
blocked from view.'

Someone could stretch their
legs, get it that way?

No. Can't risk it.
Stay in position.

Understood.

Hello, love. Hello.

Thought I'd surprise you.
Mission accomplished?

Nathan finished his course
a day early. He insisted.

Hope you didn't put up
too much of a fight?

Well, security had to see me out of
the building, but apart from that...

And the Brazil game wasn't
any kind of incentive?

Hadn't even crossed
my mind, actually.

Uh-huh But, er,
if you're game, I am.

Oh, go on, then.

Tell Nathan thank you.

Hang on. Got a pedestrian
heading east on Lavinia Gardens.

Make that two pedestrians.

Looks like they're
heading for the Zafira.

No, they've moved past it
to an adjacent vehicle.

OK.

Central 3000 from OP6.

We've got a sight of
the Zafira's plates.

Can we get a PNC
vehicle check, please?

OP6, let me have your
warrant number and location.

3-7-6-4-2-2.

And Lavinia Gardens, over.

Received OP6, go
ahead with the index.

Foxtrot Romeo Zero
Six Oscar Bravo Hotel.

Should be a grey
Vauxhall Zafira.

OP6 from 3000.

Indeed it is a grey Vauxhall Zafira,
no trace lost or stolen, no reports.

Keeper since new shown
as a Jennifer Grant,

leased under the
Motability scheme.

'All received, 3000. OP6
out.' Motability Scheme?

Motability Operations Ltd to
give them their full title -

based on Southwark Bridge Road.
Doesn't sound like our man.

'Let's try and look
on the bright side.

'It was only 1-0 and England
sort of finished strongly.'

It was a valiant effort.
They were shocking.

One, it's a friendly, two, you
slept through most of it...

God help us in the World Cup.

Three, it's Brazil, so 1-0
is OK, it's respectable.

Lucky it wasn't 5-0.

Where is the next World
Cup? South Africa.

Why don't we go? Seriously?

Keep us out of the
garden centres.

Got what looks like a Black male

coming up from Lavinia
Gardens in a hurry.

He's getting in the Zafira.

I repeat, he's
getting in the Zafira!

Adam, you're our closest
vehicle. Can you follow?

Received. Moving out.

He's driving away, heading
north on Morton Avenue.

'Understood. Entering
Lavinia Gardens now.'

Make sure aerial
support get this,

the Zafira is mobile and
heading north on Morton Avenue.

You're confident he came from
Lavinia Gardens? 'Very confident.'

Someone needs to check
the street for a break-in.

Could be a victim
needs our help.

OP20, we're at the top end of
Lavinia Gardens - consider it done.

Thanks, OP20, make sure you notify
the adjacent OP so they can cover.

I have the eye. Suspect vehicle
moving north on Morton Way.

He's moving north on Ambleside
Avenue on the elevated section.

Adam, you've got the 4-2 coming
past you for a closer look.

'4-2 to control. I have
the target in sight.

'Hold back in this position.

'Heading past for a
look now.' 'Copy that.'

'Confirmed. Driver is an IC
three male, no passengers.'

Thanks, copy that.

'When shall we pull him, Sir?'

'The boss was very clear,

'we pick him up as far
from the plot as possible.'

Can you be more
specific? Yes, two miles.

We're taking 4-2 and
giving you advanced backup.

Should be with you now.

'I'll leave it to
you, then. 4-2 out.'

Cath. The light.

Police!

..fucking going? Come on.
That's got to be two miles now.

Oh, shit. He's turned right.
Repeat, he's turned right.

I'm still on him. 'Yeah, I'll
scoot back round and catch you up.'

He's turned into a residential
area. What's the plan now, Sir?

Plan hasn't changed.

Please wait, repeat wait, until
he's two miles off the plot.

You have 9-9 tracking
you as a fallback.

'3000 from 9-9,

'can confirm we have
target vehicle in sight.'

Hello? Police, can you hear me?

Do you have an update, Adam?

I've turned onto Witham Street.
Repeat, east on Witham Street.

'I'm back behind you.

'I know that road,
it's all residential.'

You hear that, Sir? Witham
Street's all residential.

Gonna be tough to follow
him without showing up.

By the looks of things he could
be off to hit a new house,

I say we pull him now.

I hear you, Adam.
Cathy just called.

You were right, he broke into
a bungalow on Lavinia Gardens.

Anyone hurt? Property
was unoccupied.

'Sir?'

Go, go, go, take him!

Received. Gonna move in.
Are we covered at the rear?

'Confirmed. We're covered.'

Everything all
right? DC Adam Spier.

Would you mind telling me your
name, sir? Not the exhaust, is it?

Your name, please.

Kelvin. Kelvin Grant.

OK, can you just turn the
engine off and hand me the key?

You got some ID on you, Kelvin?

No, sorry.

Well, it looks like you've got a
couple of bank cards down there.

They'll do.

Well, these say
Delroy... Grant. Sure.

My name's Delroy Grant, but
everyone calls me Kelvin.

Well, what should I call you?

Delroy.

OK, Delroy, well, if you can
stay where you are for me,

my colleague's gonna
take a look in your boot.

Is it open? Yeah, it's open.

What d'you do for work,
Delroy? I'm a carer.

Oh, right. OK.

And what are you
doing out this late?

I was waiting outside the
Co-op to buy some puff,

but the guy never showed.

Adam.

Would you like to step out of
the vehicle, please, Delroy?

Delroy Grant, I am arresting you

on suspicion of rape,
burglary and indecent assault.

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

if you do not mention
when questioned

something which you
later rely on in court.

Colin Sutton.

'Colin, it's Nathan.
Looks like we've got him.'

Fuck. You're joking?

Do you really think I'd joke
about something like that

at three in the morning?

'No, I suppose not.
Are you sure it's him?'

Well, put it this way,

we recovered his grey
top with black stripes

from his silver-grey
facelifted Zafira.

The Colbridge Road
footage? 'Perfect match,

'plus he had a crowbar and
a screwdriver in the boot.

'It's early days,

'but I'd say the latter probably
made all those pry marks.'

Bloody hell! What's his name?

Delroy Easton Grant.

From a continuity
of command angle,

it probably makes sense for me
to carry it on till morning...

Good to see that SIO
course wasn't wasted.

'Yeah, didn't think I'd put
it to use quite so soon.'

This is great work,
Nathan, it's great work.

Please pass that onto the
others for me, will you?

Yeah. Will do.

I'll see you at eight.
'Yeah. See you then.'

Who are you kidding?

We got him.

I'll put the kettle on.

'Simon Morgan.'
It's Colin Sutton.

I'm sorry to call you so early, but
I wanted you to hear it from me,

it looks like we've got him.

Simon?

'Yeah, I'm still
here. Fucking hell.'

Yeah, that's what I said.

One of our OPs on Lavinia Gardens
saw... 'I'm on my way in.'

OK, I'll fill you in
when you get here.

This is the boss, Mr Sutton.

Hello, sir.

I'm so pleased to meet you.

So what are you,
batting or bowling?

You're not into
cricket, are you, sir?

Yeah. But you
still don't play?

I do, as a matter of fact,
yeah, occasionally. You?

Yes, yes, of course
I do. Bat and bowl.

Oh, good for you. My
knees won't let me bowl,

but I can still swing a bat
around as well as I ever could.

Well, tell me, sir,

what do you think of England's
chances in South Africa?

I think we could do with
one more fast bowler

but, er, I think we've
got a great chance.

Yeah, man, that's
what I've been saying!

Just so you're aware, sir,

my wife suffers from MS
and I'm her primary carer.

Obviously, this'll
come as a shock to her.

Yeah, I imagine it will.

Well, I just want to make sure
she's properly taken care of.

I'll be worried otherwise.
Sorry to interrupt.

Mr Grant, could I have your
signature for the DNA sample?

Prints now, please.

This way.

Still doing 'em old school?
Oh, yeah. Can't beat a wet set.

I need your right hand, please.

Don't know why you're bothering,

you know I always wore gloves.

That was an interesting
comment you made just now

about always wearing gloves.

Er, could we get a signature off
you, just to confirm you made it?

Have you had any contact

with a vulnerable or an
elderly person tonight, Delroy?

There's no-one out
there with a broken hip

who can't get to the phone?

No-one in need of
help and attention?

I haven't visited
anyone tonight.

Very important that you ask

if there's anything you
don't understand, Delroy. OK?

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh,
dear. What is it, Delroy?

You really want to
have a look at my son.

Your son?

This is hard for
me... so hard...

..but given the seriousness
of the offences,

I want to make sure
you get the right man.

His DNA's gonna be the same
as mine, or very similar,

plus we're the same height,
and he lives in the area.

Why did you wait until now
to tell us this, Delroy?

I'm still in a state of shock.

Bullshit. Yeah,
course it's bullshit.

Twins can share DNA, but
not fathers and sons.

He's right, though, they
can be very similar.

We need to jump on this? Yeah,
we need to make some calls.

Get Patricia to look the son
up and we can get a sample.

Yeah. Will do, boss. And
tell her I want to be there.

Oh. You didn't hang about.

We're sure it's him?
Yeah, I think so.

The DNA will confirm.
Was he in the system?

TBC - I came straight
here. Congratulations.

Your day, your case, I just helped
it over the finish line. Thank you.

I'll go check on the
team. Yeah, I'll join you.

I just wanna see his
face. Sure, yeah.

OK, was he in the system or not?

It's complicated.
He's not kidding.

I had to go and have a lie
down when they explained it.

That's just you,
Kenny. Go on, Nath.

There's a burglary,
back in '99 in Bromley.

Local police inform
the Minstead team,

but they don't think
it's Minstead Man.

Didn't fit the criteria? No.

So Bromley go ahead
and investigate.

Now a neighbour of the victim sees a
car that she thinks looks suspicious

and she reports the number.

They run a trace and it's
registered to a Delroy Grant

at an address in Forest Hill.

They put his name in the PNC.

It IDs six people of that name.

One in Hackney, had a burglary
conviction. DNA on file.

Right. And this sample was
compared to our scenes?

They informed us that Hackney
Delroy wasn't Minstead Man.

Sounds straightforward. Yeah,
except somehow that result

became assigned to Forest
Hill Delroy's profile

and a nominal was
created on our system.

Their mistake
became our mistake?

Yeah. And it gets worse.

A DC from our team went to
visit Forest Hill Delroy

to check his movements on
the night of the burglary.

Yeah, and...?

He was out and it was
never followed up.

And that's the Delroy
we just nicked? Yeah.

Turn to your right.

If his DNA had been taken,

he would have instantly been
identified as Minstead Man.

Christ...

From that moment on, the name
Delroy Grant was ruled out.

Turn to your left.

And he wasn't on
the swabbing list?

No, been formally
eliminated by DNA.

So you'd never have got
him that way anyway? No.

In 2001, the name Delroy
Grant cropped up again

when someone called the hotline
pushing him as a suspect.

It was after one of
those Crimewatch appeals.

And the action got binned

because HOLMES said he'd
been cleared by DNA.

Ten years ago.

A decade.

How many victims since then?

'Delroy Grant Jr?'

Come in.

Does, er, anyone live
here with you, Delroy?

My mum and my brother.
What's this about?

You're not in any trouble. No-one's
died, it's nothing like that.

But we do have some difficult
news to share with you.

OK...

Look, can we sit down?

Are you familiar with the
Night Stalker case, Delroy?

Yeah, the bloke attacking
old ladies? That's right.

Said on the news you
arrested someone.

We have, that's correct.

I'm very sorry to tell you that

that man is your father,
Delroy Easton Grant.

No.

No way. It can't be.

How...

How sure are you?

Well, we don't have
absolute confirmation yet,

but we wouldn't be here
unless we were very sure.

How often do you see your dad?

Now and then.

For a long time we had
nothing to do with him.

"We"?

Me, Mum, my brother...

Why was that?

Well, he walked out when I
was a toddler. Two, I think.

Yeah.

Didn't see him again
till I was eight or nine.

Turned up at the
school gates one day

and promised to take me and my
brother swimming at the weekend.

Mum wasn't keen, but she
saw how excited we were

and changed her mind.

I was giddy.

Like a... kid on
Christmas morning.

Had my bags packed hours before
he was supposed to pick me up.

I remember I really wanted
to show him my backflip.

Pathetic, really...

But he never turned up?

I didn't see him again till I was
in my 20s and... by then I knew.

Knew...? What
he'd done to Mum.

The violence. The beatings.

What he'd put her through.

Those poor women...

Who got back in touch,
you or your dad?

Me.

Me and my brother.

Someone told us
that he'd remarried.

That his wife had MS and what
an amazing husband he was,

what an amazing carer... Oh.

That must've been
difficult to believe? Yeah.

"This I have to see," I
thought. So we go round.

"Hello, Dad. Long time, no see."

All true.

His wife was sweet, but
she needed a lot of care...

and there he was, providing it.

Kind, patient,
everything organised.

I didn't begrudge her,
how could I? But...

Hard to see.

Something else we need
to tell you, Delroy.

We're giving it no
credit whatsoever

but your father has accused
you of committing these crimes.

What...? Yeah.

As Patricia said, we don't
believe it for a minute,

but, er, we will have to
eliminate you with a DNA test.

Sorry, hang on, he said...

The rapes and everything?
He said it was me?

Why would he say that?

Because that's the
sort of person he is,

and, from what you're
telling us, always was.

There you go. Thanks.

They didn't have any torn
avocado, I got you ham and cheese.

There you go.

My nan's 92 and still dyes
her hair... what's left of it.

She said when you get old it's
like you lose your identity.

People don't see you, they
just see an old person -

grey hair, fawn coat, bad
glasses, a sheep in a flock.

That's why this went on so
long. Victims were invisible.

Yeah, and the rest
of us are in denial.

We all think it won't happen
to us. We'll buck the trend.

Bedpans, false teeth,

dementia, Zimmer frame. No
way, no thanks. Not us, mate.

And the way we feed that
lie is to ignore them.

I mean, we notice them,
but we don't see them.

We don't avert our gaze, but
we certainly don't linger

cos they're the future we
don't want and can't escape.

Yeah. It's like we
blame them, innit.

Exactly.

And what the fuck does
that say about us?

You OK?

You said when this was
over it would hit me.

Yeah, I did. Come on.

Good news? Just
got the DNA back -

effectively 100% match
with all our samples.

Semen from the rapes,

saliva from the cheek of
the Harness Street victim,

the orange juice carton at
Colbridge Road... "Effectively"?

Well, they word it like this,

"The DNA taken from Delroy Grant

"is 47.5 septillion times more
likely to be linked to the DNA

"of Minstead Man than
an unrelated person."

"Septillion." I like
the sound of that.

What about the screwdriver
marks? Definitely his, boss.

As they're present at two of
the scenes where we got DNA

and loads of scenes
where we didn't,

it links him to literally
dozens of offences.

Has he been
confronted with this?

No commented as soon
as we started rolling.

CPS have given us a slot.

I say we charge him with
as much as possible,

never mind "He's
going down already."

Agreed. We get justice for
as many victims as we can.

Let's throw the
fucking book at him.

Do you understand the charges
brought against you today?

Yeah, I do. And
how do you plead?

Not guilty.

Mr Grant, you are
charged with 22 offences

of the utmost gravity,

five of rape, six
indecent assaults,

and 11 burglaries.

Notwithstanding
that you deny them,

there is, in our opinion,
a very high likelihood

that, if convicted, you may well
receive a long prison sentence.

You are remanded
in custody to...

Belmarsh, Madam.

To HMP Belmarsh.

Plenty of officers working
past retirement age now.

Everybody's got to
go sometime, though.

Just saying.

DI up in Kilburn got his
bus pass five years ago.

Five years? Yeah.

Closed a double
murder the other day.

I can finish up here
if you want to get off.

No, no. You're all right.

You sure? Yeah.

Right. Nathan?

Thanks.

You let me in when, er, the
others weren't so inclined.

I appreciate it.

Thank fuck I did, boss.
