Episode 2

[voice message] Hey, gorgeous.

Just checking that you're still on for tonight.

And if you need me to bring anything, let me know.

Okay, bye.

[phone beeps] [ominous music] Hey, gorgeous.

Just checking that you're still on for tonight.

And if you need me to bring anything, let me know.

Okay, bye.

[phone beeps] Hey, gorgeous.

Just checking that you're still on for tonight.

And if you need me to bring anything, let me know.

Okay, bye.

[news reporter] A murder inquiry has been launched after the bodies of two men were discovered at a remote farm house.

The victims have not been formally identified, but one is understood to be a serving police officer.

[melancholy music] [over radio] Police have yet to make an arrest in connection to the case.

The brutal double killing took place near Compton Martin yesterday.

You won't be surprised to learn that this has been designated a major incident.

DI Sean Hardacre has been murdered and I can assure you... as I just assured Sean's widow Helen, that this will remain my first and foremost priority until we catch and convict his killer.

[melancholy music] I know you're all as keen as I am to nail this bastard.

So I will be seconding officers from all the different teams under me to work on this investigation.

That's it.

Let's get to work.

Thank you, Sir.

[melancholy music] [car tires screeching] [door opening] You can use my office, you know?

It's not safe.

Someone up there is leaking information.

So, what are we gonna do?

Skulk around here all day?

You've got to throw a firewall around our investigation.

So it's an investigation now, is it?

Izzy's given us plenty to go on.

Yeah, but we've got to keep that close, just between the three of us.

There's no sign that her cover's been blown.

Look, just give us some time.

See what she can find out.

Izzy is our best chance of catching Sean's killer.

That's not realistic.

Why not?

We're the only ones that know about her.

Or the link to the restaurant.

Kane is all over this like a rash.

-And I have to tell him.

-No!

He's our boss, Hannah.

He could just as easily be the source of the leak as anyone else.

So, what are you asking?

Just give us some air cover.

Just make sure that we're not seconded to the major incident team.

If we dig up anything, then we can try and work out who it's safe to tell and when.

This breaks every rule in the book.

Well then, let me take the lead on it.

Uh, if we get rumbled, you can say you asked me to take a look at Sean's ongoing investigations.

I found out about Izzy through Sean's files and...

...I started running her as a confidential contact.

And you didn't even know that she existed.

Alright.

[sighs] You've got a few days.

But I need to be kept updated.

All our necks are now on the line!

[sighs] [theme music] [intriguing music] [indistinct talking in background] [phone ringing] Dammit, I can't.

Keep your voice down.

Come on, Davor!

Do you have a problem?

Mm, I have tickets for the basketball.

You're coming with me, right?

No, I have to study.

It's just a stupid game.

But, it's the quarter-finals.

What about you?

Sorry man.

Well, fuck you all!

Grow up, Stefan.

What about you?

Take Christian.

[ominous music] Ow!

[coughs] Ah, fuck!

Stink shit!

Fuck this!

What are we doing?

I'm not touching that crap.

-What are we looking for?

-Cannabis.

How much?

Who cares?

Davor can go fuck himself.

You don't mean that.

He shows me no respect.

-Fuck Davor.

-Come on, Stefan, please!

No!

So, what's so important today?

Eh?

That he's making you miss your basketball.

Ah.

We're supposed to meet Andri.

Who's Andri?

A crazy fucking Albanian.

Andri... ...is our way into Calabria.

What is Calabria?

[wry laugh] You know nothing, do you?

So, teach me.

[smirks] Half the cocaine in England comes through Calabria.

Okay.

Now I get it.

So, we go through Albania, to get to Calabria.

And we go through Calabria, to get to Krajina.

And what's Krajina?

None of your fucking business.

[laughs] Krajina... ...is our past.

And it's also our future.

I don't understand.

Mm.

How could you?

You're not Croatian.

-Well, I'm half.

-[laughs] Don't worry about it.

It's just some bullshit plan of Davor's.

He thinks he's mister Big Bollocks now.

Claims we are going to take over half the drug trade in the southwest or something.

Oh, and the Albanians will just stand back and let us?

He says they won't have a choice.

Come on, let's get out of here.

We can't just go.

He can do his own dirty work!

[ominous music] How much is there?

Maybe five kilos.

And you had to gut the fish to get it?

Not gut them exactly, just check inside each one.

How many boxes of fish?

God knows.

-[Christian] A lot.

-[Zvonomir laughs] I will tell you, Christian, there were 300 boxes.

[Davor] And yet Stefan was out drinking all afternoon.

You know, it is a pleasure to deal with someone with integrity.

This is a token of my appreciation.

[ominous music] Thank you.

You're working with us now.

[ominous music crescendos] [calm music] [doorbell rings] What is this place?

It's a safe house.

Didn't know we still use those.

We don't.

I do.

[ominous music] What the hell is it?

It's one of the few remaining photos of an atrocity that was committed during the civil war in the former Yugoslavia.

And it tells us everything that we need to know about the Mimicas.

The family that run the restaurant?

They lost more than 20 relatives and neighbors in a single afternoon.

The Serbs that captured their village were pretty indiscriminate.

You're about to see the survivors.

So, this is Dubravka.

She's a bit of a clan matriarch as far as we can tell.

And this is her brother-in-law Zvonomir.

He's the only one I've come across before.

Do we have a file on him?

[Billy] No.

His name was linked to a drugs bust a while back.

The agency asked me to sit in on the interview.

Cause of the eastern European connection.

He wasn't charged.

This is Dubravka's daughter, Bianca.

Is she Izzy?

The honest answer is, we don't know.

Whose hand is she holding?

[Billy] Stefan Vargic.

The only one we have anything concrete on.

And what's that?

[Billy] He served 18 months.

For possession with intent.

And here is the illustrious man himself.

Davor Mimica.

Son and heir [Tina] Is that his boyfriend?

Possibly.

Do the rest of them know?

Then these were all taken by Sean.

He was putting the pieces together.

Someone must have tipped them off.

[Tina] You said on the phone that you had fresh information.

[Billy] Aye.

Izzy's come good.

There's a meeting later on.

With this guy.

Andri Kabashi.

Belongs to an Albanian gang that controls the coke trade in parts of south Gloucester.

So the Mimica's are looking to expand?

Seems that way.

-Oh, I've got to be going.

-Yeah, me too.

I need that laptop back.

Who's asking for it?

Fran, but they've all mentioned it.

[Billy] Can you give me a couple of days?

[ominous music] Let's go.

[upbeat music over speakers] Where is Davor?

[Stefan] I speak for Davor.

Look... all we're asking you is to make the connection.

If that's all you're asking, then make it yourself.

But we are offering you a shitload.

We give you 25% of the profit.

It's a big step up.

Why are you being an asshole, huh?

So, I'm being an asshole, am I?

He doesn't mean that, Andri.

We want to be friends.

Yeah.

Friends, not enemies.

[suspenseful music] [bowling pins fall] Where are you going?

For a piss.

You want to watch?

[suspenseful music continues] [suspenseful music intensifies] Christian, Christian, where the fuck are you?

Christian, the police are here!

We have to go now!

Come on!

[wailing sirens approaching] [fast-paced music] [phone ringing] [answer message] This is Christian, say something.

Christian, will you call me, please?

Okay, slow down.

There's no one following.

It's not us they're after.

I said take it easy!

[laughing] He's ready to deal, it's good!

All good!

Jah!

[suspenseful music] This is Christian, say something.

Christian, please .

[ominous music] [echoing office sounds] [breathing heavily] Hey Hannah.

[speech echoes] [groans] Jesus Christ.

[whispers] Christian... is... Izzy.

[shouts] Get us some help here, people!

Don't speak, just breathe.

[speech echoes] [Billy] Give her some room, give her some air!

[ominous music] [Tina whispers] How is this even possible?

[Billy] I checked.

Christian and Stefan Vargic were cellmates.

What about Sean?

He and Christian were close.

I've heard Hannah talk about it.

And he didn't think to tell her?

I think he was going to, you know?

After she questioned him about Izzy, but... but he never got the chance.

And what the hell was she even doing there?

What did she think she could achieve?

I thought I was dealing with a young woman.

I was worried for her.

I wanted to be there, in case she got into trouble.

[sighs] Don't be too hard on yourself.

[crying] I've-- I've put him in danger.

He brought that on himself.

[Tina] I'm gonna pull the plug.

Can you contact him, tell him he needs to get out?

Wouldn't that be better coming from his mom?

Hannah should be nowhere near this, it's way too messy.

He's not answering my calls.

Keep trying.

[melancholy music] Is this too salty?

What is it?

Pastitsada.

[both giggle] Mm.

Oh, it's good.

-[both laugh] -You liar!

Ow!

So sorry!

Are you okay?

-Yeah.

-Wait, let me see.

No, it's really red.

Bad idea.

You have two phones.

What's going on?

I, uh, just, uh... ...dropped my phone.

Anything to eat?

Uh, pastitsada.

Can you send up a plate?

Thanks.

[upbeat club music] Oh!

We were beginning to think you were a figment of his imagination.

How long have you been dating?

Dating?

No!

Oh my god!

This is the third time I've seen him since we hooked up.

Chow!

They like you, relax!

I am relaxed.

Do you want anything?

What are you selling?

Ketamine, 100 a bag.

Check it.

They're not worth half of that.

What did you say?

Tsk!

Cheap shit!

I love cheap shit.

I'll give you cheap shit, you fag!

Whoa!

Here, 70 quid.

Now, get lost.

Oh, come on.

Have some fun.

I don't do cheap shit!

Relax, come on, baby!

Mm?

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

[melancholy music] You don't need to tell me anything.

Maybe I do, actually.

[upbeat club music] [panting] Call me a fag again, I fucking dare you!

[laughs] [humming] [laughing] Mm, Dubravka has given us her blessing.

Ah man, congratulations.

[laughs] Are you ready to party?

[laughs] Come, come, come.

[Stefan laughs] [Stefan] Oh, I want to propose a toast.

[Dubravka] Ah, wait.

Someone go get Davor.

He won't want to miss this.

Do you know where he is?

In his office.

He hasn't been all morning.

Have you spoken to him today?

I've tried him a few times, there's no answer.

Maybe he's stuck in meetings.

[Zvonomir] Who saw him last?

Maybe I did?

He was all dressed up to go out.

Any idea where?

Or with who?

Mm, Davor keeps himself to himself.

I might know where he is.

[Christian] Oh, I could follow up.

Mm, but you're not family.

Well, maybe that's for the best.

-[Stefan] Mm.

-Bianca, text him the number.

[ominous music] The minute you find him, you call us.

-Understand?

-Sure.

[nervous laugh] -Take this.

-I won't need that, will I?

Just in case.

[ominous music intensifies] [ominous music continues] Welcome.

[Christian] Thanks for seeing me.

You said on the phone Davor got into some kind of fight?

Yeah, he mouthed off to a dealer.

But you didn't see what happened?

Where they went?

No.

[sighs] Just disappeared.

I looked for him for ages.

You didn't think to call anyone?

[laughs] Who?

His mother?

Alright.

So, who's this dealer?

Tall guy, with a long hook nose and a tattoo on his neck.

You don't have a name or anything?

Think I heard someone... ...call him ...Matt?

Yeah, Matt, I think.

Yeah.

You know him?

Yeah.

Our paths have crossed.

[ominous music] [moaning] Ten minutes.

Oi, ten minutes, mate.

[moaning] [indistinct voices inside] [suspenseful music] [indistinct screaming and talking inside] [shouts] Don't move!

Don't fucking move!

Stay there.

You, get out.

[shouts] Get the fuck out, now!

[shouts] Get out, now!

Davor?

Davor, come on.

[whispers] Come on.

[whispers] Come on.

Let's go, come on.

Let's go now.

[suspenseful music continues] Oi!

Oi!

What the fuck are you doing?

[calls out in pain] [screams indistinctly] Stop!

Stop!

[Christian] Oh!

[panting] [Christian] Davor, you okay?

Are you okay, Davor?

Stay with me Davor.

[melancholy music] Where have you been?

I had a late night.

We were worried.

You needn't be.

Tell Christian I want a word.

[knocks on door] Hey.

You okay, Davor?

You won't be needing this for a while.

Here is my pin.

Buy yourself a suit.

I have an important meeting tonight.

You'll drive.

You work for me now.

Okay.

Christian, where did you learn to handle a gun like that?

Grand Theft Auto.

[suspenseful music] Americano, no sugar.

No word?

Don't worry, he'll call.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I'm not exactly top of his Christmas card list.

He just needs time to process it.

Decide if he wants to continue.

There's no way he's continuing.

I'm not sure that's up to you.

I'm his mother.

[chuckles] And he's a grown-up.

You heard what Tina said.

If she tells Kane, the whole of HQ might as well know.

And then whoever is leaking information to the Mimica's will...

It'd be suicide, for him to stay.

Then we need to suggest an alternative.

Make Tina change her mind.

Why don't I take over Christian as my contact?

You?

I've way more leeway.

If it ever came to light, I'd just say I kept his identity secret from both of you.

That I was unaware of the connection.

So, I wouldn't be involved?

Oh, you'd be involved.

Just not officially.

If he pulls out now, we may never nail Sean's killer.

He's my son... Billy.

So, none of this "don't ask" bollocks.

You keep me in the loop about fucking everything.

[gentle music] [bird calls] [Stefan] Bianca!

Bianca, where are you?

We have to go.

[phone vibrates] Told you so.

[melancholy music] Why here?

It's safe.

I miss him.

Me too.

But if he wasn't already dead, I'd bloody kill him for getting you involved in all this.

It was my idea.

-He should have stopped you.

-He tried.

Okay, so now it's my turn.

They murdered him, Christian.

And that's why we have to do this.

Listen, you need to know something; There's a leak at Head Quarters.

The Mimicas have got someone on the inside.

So, they're onto me?

I-- I don't think so.

-Well, how can you be sure?

-I can't.

But there's only two other people who know about you.

Do you trust them?

As much as I can trust anyone.

One of them's my boss.

She wants to pull you out.

Well... You can't persuade her not to?

I can try.

I'm driving Davor to a meeting.

Let's see if anything comes of it that might help change your mind.

It's a recording device.

Not you as well?

Have five-star reviews online.

Wow.

You look the part.

Come on, let's go.

[ominous music] Here we go.

That's Andri Kabashi.

Who's the other guy?

I don't know.

[camera shutter clicks] There is Davon Mimica.

You stay here.

[cell phone rings] Hello.

He didn't take it.

What?

What do I do?

You fix it.

[Billy sighs] [Andri] 150 kilograms, that's a lot of cocaine.

[Davor] We can handle it.

[Andri] You'll flood the market.

[Davor] Exactly.

And price a lot of other people out of it in the process.

[Andri] You're going to make enemies.

[Davor] We didn't get into this business to win friends.

[Andri] And it isn't just a one-off?

[Davor] It's just a start.

This is going to be very profitable for both of us.

A 150 kilos?

How in the name of god will they swing that?

I have no idea.

This is a hell of a lead, Christian.

You can leave it with us now.

No.

No, I mean it.

There's no need to put yourself in any more danger.

You still don't know how they're going to do this.

And without me, you never will.

You've got nothing to prove.

Just give it to your boss.

Tell her there's plenty more to come.

Hey, I'll walk with you.

And so, you'll come and go from here from now on.

-You promise me?

-It's fine.

Billy will be your contact.

My involvement would compromise any evidence you supply us with.

-I understand.

-But I'll be here.

And please, will you try and get some kind of cover story in case someone spots you coming in and out?

I'm being careful.

And Christian, I mean it.

You've got nothing to prove.
