Get off me!
Hey, break it up!
Keep out of it, man! Get off me!
Break it up now, or I'm making arrests!
I said keep out of it!
Stop, police!
It ain't nothing to do with you!
Hey, you, get back.
Nothing to do with you. Get back!
Get back! Stop!
Stop it now!
So I just think we need to reschedule the...
Oh. Welcome back!
Morning!
Oh, we were going to put up balloons and banners
but we know you don't like a fuss.
Well, you know, some fuss.
Listen, don't want you to go full-on today,
so we just thought you could do some paperwork in the staffroom.
Oh, OK.
Oh, ow!
Sorry. OK, OK, what's wrong?
Oh, it's my flaming husband! Rob?
It's... Rob's got me doing these, like, PE sessions,
with bending and stretching, so I ache from head-to-head!
Sounds like you need to get a different instructor.
Maybe a different husband.
So, um...
Back in your natural habitat, then?
Proper home from home.
Thank you. Yeah, well, may as well make it my home,
number of shifts I'm covering.
Ah, Emma?
Mm. I'm not holding my breath
for a replacement any time soon.
I ain't done nothing, man!
You've been arrested for affray.
What about Jonah? You let him get away.
We didn't let him get away.
You can't be bothered cos it's just me you want to nick!
No.
Is, man. You've been all over me for weeks!
I also need to talk about my arrest.
You were arrested for obstructing police.
I wasn't obstructing you!
Well, I believe you were.
Sarge, I've got two for you.
First, Carl Horton...
Joking me, man, c'mon.
First, Carl Horton!
He was arrested 08:45 for affray
and resisting arrest.
We'll see you on the 17th. Thank you.
Ah, Tash, bang a drum,
strike up the band,
Karen Hollins is returned! Yay!
Now, at what point can we resume some petty argument?
Oh, right now. Bring it on.
And The Mill is returned to its axis.
Yes. Except that it's very quiet without Valerie.
That's undeniable.
I'm so going to miss sitting across a table from her.
Her wearing earrings
large enough for an elephant to swing on.
And all those cat jumpers.
My goodness, that woman knew how to wear feline knitwear.
Greatly missed.
Karen?
Hey! Yes!
Hi, I'm Kirsty.
Nice to meet you.
Wow, Karen and Kirsty.
Sounds like some kind of folk duo from 1973.
TO THE TUNE OF SCARBOROUGH FAIR: # Are you here for repeat
# Prescriptions? Please take a seat... #
Yes, Thank you!
Ow. You all right?
No, my husband Rob's got me on this, like, PE rehab thing.
And I've tweaked something, oh, here.
Thought the idea was having you do some admin?
I thought I'd give it a go on the desk.
Go on, I'll take over.
Oh, I am not going to argue with you. Thank you.
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
That copper who nicked me
needs proper putting in his place.
That doesn't sound like such a good idea...
I mean with his boss or whatever.
I can't walk out on the street without him turning up.
It's harassment, innit?
Yeah, that's what they call it.
He get a bonus for that, or what?
OK, all right.
I'm going to close up the wound, OK?
It doesn't look like you're going to need stitches.
Might have, if your guy had cracked me with his stick, yeah?
It was just beef, man, we were sorting it out.
But no, no, your guy had to come in.
Yeah, yeah, reckon it gave him a chance.
Could say he was breaking it up.
He could do what he wanted to me.
For the record, Birdie Wilson, I've arrested you
because you got in the way of us
carrying out our duty.
I didn't get in the way, I intervened.
And what do you think gave you the right?
To prevent further violence.
That's what we were doing.
No, I was intervening to prevent your violence. What?
Were you directly under threat?
Sorry, how...?
You drew your baton.
You can only do that if you feel directly under threat.
Well, maybe I did. Maybe?
He was coming toward me.
But I didn't see or hear him threatening you.
Maybe that's what you're choosing to remember.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Sergeant Hollins entering the room.
Can we suspend the interview, please? What?
Now.
Interview suspended at 10:54.
It's us and the Preston's down the Churchill, has been for years.
Yeah, I know.
I thought you weren't a copper.
I've had to treat a few of you over the years.
No, there's no need to treat them lot.
Well, I'm afraid I have to treat everybody.
Right. All you've got to do now is try not to fiddle with it, OK?
It serious?
No, you might be left with a slight scar.
He won't get me, next time.
Does there have to be a next time?
Jonah dissed me, direct.
They ain't getting away with it
just cos that stupid cop got between us.
Well...
..I wasn't there, so...
The only thing that stopped him from cracking me was that woman.
What woman?
Some random just showed.
Ain't no clue why.
But she stopped it - and he got so mad he busted her, as well.
A complaint?
Wrongful arrest.
I was within my rights to detain her.
It was clear obstruction.
She's saying that it wasn't.
Nearly everyone we nick reckons they're innocent.
Plus, she's declined legal representation.
The custody sergeant also thinks
that there may be a problem with the arrest.
Like what?
That she wasn't intervening or obstructing physically.
No, but...
No, Tim...
You can't arrest someone for shouting their opinion,
let alone handcuff them for it.
I'm not stupid. No.
But is it possible that you were rash?
She's also raised a question about your use of force.
I drew my baton as a deterrent.
She says as a weapon.
You believe that?
I just want to get to the bottom of this...
..before we go any further.
I've restocked the rubber gloves and the paper towels
cos I was doing an inventory and we were running a bit low.
An inventory? Er, yeah.
Just thought I'd get ahead. Super.
That will save us scrabbling around
for gloves in a consultation.
Do either of you want anything, like tea or coffee?
Cos I'm going to the staffroom. No, I'm all right, cheers.
I'd love a coffee, thanks. OK.
Oh, erm, I can't remember. How do you have it?
Do you want milk or...? Just black.
Yeah. Thank you.
Keeping herself busy.
Yeah, she is.
I wish everyone had so much enthusiasm.
Mrs Davison, come through.
My officer maintains that he drew his baton in the face of threat.
I didn't see a threat.
He said the assailant... Assailant?
He's a child. No.
No, Carl Horton is 16, a big lad
and he's been arrested before.
For violence?
Not for violence before but he has now.
He was involved in a fight.
But not a fight with your officer.
In fact, he told him to keep out of it.
That doesn't really matter.
It's our job to maintain law.
What? Do you think he should have let them fight it out?
No, but he drew a weapon himself.
Again, he maintains...
So you're saying that this is deterrence?
I'm not saying that, because I wasn't there to see.
But I was and I could see how it was going to go.
And how could you know that?
Because of experience.
And because I have training.
Training in what, exactly?
As a violence disrupter.
Quick cuppa.
Ah, a cup of tea is always a good idea.
You swotting up?
Those VPAS cases.
I'm just seeing what we've been up to.
Well, clearing struggling in your absence, I would imagine.
Yes, something like that.
Dr Haskey. Hmm?
You've been over-running your consultation times this morning.
Well, I was taking the time that was needed.
You spent half an hour with one patient.
Yeah. Unfortunately, I had to tell that patient
that their condition was terminal.
Understood, but...
No, no, there is no "but" in that situation.
My schedule was knocked on accordingly.
Not for the first time, recently.
Look, I am not going to sit there and say to them
"Oh, I'm really sorry that you're dying,
"but unfortunately, I really need your chair for some verrucas".
That's a bit extreme.
No GP can stick to a schedule relentlessly.
Please, Karen, tell me if I'm wrong.
I'm on light duties.
Patients were getting restless.
I thought perhaps a commitment to be more accommodating
and maybe an apology.
Oh, I made a promise -
it was to my patients at the beginning of my career.
And how I fulfil that promise is my main concern.
Actually, patient experience is a concern of the practice as a whole.
Guess he's gone off the idea of tea.
I wasn't being callous.
No, it's just Al.
Yes, and, uh...
And...
He likes to put his patients first.
I'd like to think all the doctors do.
Yeah, yeah, but he really does like to go the extra mile,
especially when it's the serious cases,
and I suppose I find the best course of action
is to just let him do his own thing.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Violence disruption?
The idea comes from the States.
Surprise.
Right. I've brought you two together
so we can try and resolve this.
So let's make sure we hear each other out.
Off you go.
It was in response to violence,
especially gang problems.
We've got gang problems.
I was policing them when you interrupted.
I intervened.
It's about breaking the cycle of violence.
That's what we're trying to do
and now you're accusing us - me - of violence.
"Any use of force must be lawful, proportionate
"and reasonable in the circumstances."
And the only force I used
was justifiable restraint because he resisted.
And the baton did deter him,
it stopped him coming toward us. No.
You stopped going to hit him when I shouted.
I... Right. OK.
So, no actual blow was struck by Constable Stringer?
OK, no, but...
And no action was taken by Miss Wilson
to physically impede the arrest?
Well, no...
And I have to say that Constable Stringer's service record is good
and he's done very well with the Neighbourhood Policing Team.
Here it comes.
But we will discuss it. Really?
And that will include your arrest, which was...
..perhaps over-zealous.
So you're siding with her? I said perhaps.
He could have had a knife.
She distracted me and we could have been hurt.
How is that not obstruction?
Carl didn't have a knife, did he?
No, no, he didn't.
But we have to proceed as though a suspect is armed.
You know, I don't think a complaint's going to help.
Help who?
No-one's going to uphold a complaint
about something that you thought someone was going to do.
And as far as I know, no-one's ever made a complaint
against Constable Stringer before.
Maybe they felt they couldn't.
Oh, hello.
Is that your perch for the day?
Oh, it's Kirsty's idea.
What, to sit there all day?
I have been assigned paperwork. Right.
You know, it's probably better
if you move around a little bit.
No, Rob's had me exercising.
Oh, good.
Well, good for him.
And good for the chiropractor when I have to pay them.
Well, there's bound to be some stiffness.
Oh, and the pain.
Don't forget about the pain.
Well, it's not going to do your back or your heart any good
sitting there all day.
What would you have me do,
clean the windows or do a bit of juggling in the car park?
Yeah! Yeah, if you like.
Although, personally, I'd just take a little walk every half an hour.
You're the doctor.
And a friend.
Ooh.
Oy, oy, oy, just re-aligning the spine.
And you do it so well.
Do you want to take a seat?
Tim...
..I didn't appreciate your insubordination back there.
How would you feel?
She's going to complain about something I didn't do.
Actually, she isn't.
What?
She's willing to drop the complaint
if you will apologise for her arrest.
And to Horton.
You've got to be kidding!
Right, OK, I don't agree with the latter
but is there no way you two can't come to some sort kind of an accord?
I've arrested him for violent disorder,
affray, resisting...
Oh, come on, think about it.
This violence disruption thing.
Oh, you don't believe in that, do you?
What I do believe in is resolving this.
Yeah, well, you know what "this" is?
This is about humiliating me.
I don't believe that's true.
I don't think this is personal.
It's something, though.
Isn't it?
Right. OK, any further problems
just come and see me next week. All right?
Thank you. OK.
So, how's Karen doing?
I found her in the staffroom with her feet up.
Bear and I thought she shouldn't overdo it.
Yes, well, I think she's taken you at your word.
We couldn't ask her to do a shift on the desk, though.
Look, it's probably better for her if she keeps moving.
Understood.
But it must be really strange coming back, after everything.
Don't worry about Karen,
she's tougher than you think.
Scarlett, as we're between patients,
I wonder if you could...
I... I just need the toilet.
OK.
Scarlett!
Scarlett?!
Can you hear me?
Scarlett?
All right, all right,
everything is going to be all right.
Scarlett, can you hear me?
This is Zara speaking to you.
She isn't who she said she is?
The prints we took from her,
when I ran them, they didn't come up as hers.
They didn't come up as Birdie Wilson
they come up as Jayla Hayward.
And she's got a record.
What kind of record?
Murder.
And there's more.
It's the murder of a police officer.
I looked it up.
It was during the commission of a robbery.
She was interrupted by a young constable.
She stabbed him.
He died at the scene.
It's OK, you're OK now.
Sorry, I...
There's nothing to be sorry for.
Just take your time.
What's happened?
Scarlett fainted. Actually, could you fetch some water, please?
Er, yeah, sure.
Do you want something to eat?
Did you bring something for your lunch, Scarlett?
No, I was just going to...
Well, you can have the rest of my sandwich if you want.
Or there's some biscuits in the staffroom.
I'm all right. No, you're not.
You need to rest, no argument.
Could you give me a hand? Yeah, sure.
Here. OK. Here we go.
You do know that giving a false name to the police
while being arrested is a crime?
It isn't false.
I, erm, changed my name.
Why?
Because I'm not that person any more.
And what person is that?
The person who did that.
And no, changing my name
doesn't change what happened.
What did happen?
It was a prove yourself robbery
for the gang I was in.
An off-licence.
Cigarettes, whatever was in the till.
Then there was this torchlight.
And I turned around and the police officer was there
and he already had his truncheon raised...
..and I thought he was going to hit me,
and I...
You had a knife?
Scissors.
On the counter.
I was scared.
I grabbed them, and...
And that's why you took on the violence disruption role.
I was asked to by someone I was in prison with.
I didn't want to do it at first.
Like I said, I'd left that person behind.
But when I thought more on it...
..it was the chance to show the young ones where it could lead.
That their lives might have led them to gangs and problems...
..but there was a way out.
Before it was too late.
So how does it help, going against the police?
I'm not against the police.
You said you thought the constable was going to hit you,
so you stabbed him.
That could have been me.
I know.
That's why I wanted you to stop.
She's asleep.
Good.
I wonder what brought this on.
Erm, maybe this.
I'm not sure how an energy drink would cause fainting.
Well, it might if you've been trying to survive on them.
Not eating well or sleeping enough.
OK.
Explain.
She has another job.
In a bar.
She's been keeping it a secret from us.
Well, obviously not from you.
Well, no, I kind of found out.
Why would she be keeping that a secret?
I suppose she thinks she'd be in trouble with us.
Poor thing.
She must be utterly exhausted.
Yeah, things have been kind of tough for her.
She should have told us.
Or maybe you should, if you were so concerned.
Well, no, I can't, because it's none of my business, is it?
Maybe it isn't our business -
but she shouldn't be working to the point of exhaustion.
At least she's resting now.
Should we call her father to come and pick her up?
Yeah, yeah. I'll do that now.
You're released.
This way.
It's good that she accepted your apology
and isn't going to make a complaint.
I was ready to hit him.
Well, of course you were, if you draw your baton...
No, I mean, I was going to hit him first, because... Save it.
It's done now.
Horton's been released on bail.
What?
It was always likely to happen.
You OK to go back out on patrol?
Of course.
Why wouldn't I be?
RADIO: All units, reports of a fight
Marlborough Close on the Churchill, possible wounding.
6072, close and on our way.
It was that Jonah, he came running up and...
She got in the way, man.
Stopped him cheffing me. She's bleeding!
Where are you hurt? My hand.
I grabbed the knife.
Let's get a dressing on this.
Where did Jonah go? Was he on his own?
He was on a bike and...
The ambulance was called when we were, they'll be here in a minute.
Am I going to die?
No, no, no, you're not going to die.
We'll pack the wound and keep some pressure on it.
You just stay with me. OK, Carl?
Are you OK, love?
She's fine.
She's had a sleep and some water and something to eat.
It's your lunch, sorry.
But I'm sure she'll be glad to get home.
I am sorry.
Look, like I've said before, there's nothing to be sorry for.
Except maybe not looking after yourself.
I just got up too quick or something.
Yeah, or maybe overdoing it.
Brian, please.
Scarlett, you can't survive on energy drinks.
I mean, the caffeine content alone.
They've been keeping me going!
Yeah, but it's a temporary rush.
They're not nutrients or...
I just want people to stop interfering.
No need to be rude, Scarlett.
Dr Vere's only trying to help.
Look, it's my fault. It isn't.
It is.
I should be working.
You've been trying.
I don't mind.
I do.
So, it was just Jonah on his own?
Came up on a bike, I didn't hear him.
Just Birdie turned.
Doctor says he was very lucky.
The wound was fairly shallow
and the blade missed any major organs.
Could have been much worse.
But for you.
It was just instinct.
What were you doing with him, anyway?
Wanted to get to know him a bit.
See where he lived.
So, that was the Churchill.
Grew up somewhere like the Churchill.
People struggling, doing their best.
Some not.
Still people.
Carl's scared.
Scared of losing face, losing status,
everything's he's built up.
Through the gang.
That's all he knows.
It was just about all I knew.
I saw you were scared.
When Carl was coming towards you.
And then I remembered.
It came back.
His eyes...
..the constable.
I could see them in the torchlight.
He was scared, too.
The leccy's on a meter, and they won't let us have a proper account
unless we pass a credit check or pay 300 quid deposit.
Food's going up, water's going up.
They'll have us fighting like rats over scraps soon.
I understand how difficult things must be.
How can you understand?
Scarlett.
No, but, Dad, they're all so well off, how can they know?
That's not fair.
Yeah, but it's true. No, no, it's OK.
We are better off than most.
But that doesn't mean that we always were or that we can't understand.
Sorry, Dr Vere.
I think you should take a couple of days off,
get some rest.
I can't.
Your contract does allow for sick pay.
Yeah, but you'd have to pay for a temp.
That's Bear's problem.
Maybe he should do some shifts on reception himself.
Brian, if you ever need some help
or something to tide you over, I...
A loan?
Well, we could call it an advance for Scarlett.
No, no, no, you're all right.
Thanks for your offer,
and thanks for looking after this one.
You come so I can thank you?
No.
I want to talk to you about earlier.
When you busted me?
What happened before that.
I drew my baton because I was scared.
I know you might not believe me, but it's the truth.
We're on different sides.
But we shouldn't be.
Birdie's idea is that we remove that fear...
..and in doing that we break the cycle of violence.
It's been a bit of a day for you, innit?
Why don't you head up to bed?
Yeah, I am quite tired, to be fair.
Dreading going back to work though.
Now they know everything.
You've had time off before.
And they won't say anything, anyway.
Do you not think?
They seem like decent people.
You should see they get stuck into each other.
You want to try a building site.
Proper bust-ups.
I just want to have a break from it all.
Well, you just enjoy these next few days.
I don't mean that.
I mean, from all the bills and everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well...
Don't you worry about that.
Go on, go and get some sleep.
Goodnight, Dad. Love you.
Night, love.
Hi.
Yeah, it's me.
Listen, Liz...
I really need some help.
Can we have a quick word?
Sid, seriously, just back off.
I think we need to stop this, right now.
Well, we don't have to.
Do you often listen in on people's phone calls?
No, no, I overheard.
Kirsty, I was just - I was worried.
I'm fine. But I think you need to learn a thing or two
about people's privacy.
