Thirty flood warnings have been issued across the UK
'after days of unprecedented rain.'
'..has issued a warning for flash flooding...'
'..parts of Yorkshire are already underwater after experiencing...'
'Services are urging the public to avoid unnecessary travel...'
Where are the flood sirens? They're not working.
What's our priority, Sarge? Evacuating everyone safely.
Jo, you're in the back. Trev's up front.
Four in one car? That's not allowed! Get in, get in.
God, that's insane.
Bit scary, innit? Do your top up.
Colliery Road, come on.
Sarge, what do we do if someone doesn't want to be evacuated?
Pass them on to me.
Trev. Trev, if I can't see ahead, neither can you.
Trev!
What you doing?
Jo! The river's burst its banks by the underpass.
Right, Deepa, you with me.
Check for anyone who needs help. Will do.
I'll send back-up. And be careful!
Please! Please! Yes, help!
Please help! My baby's in here!
It's OK, it's all right.
Don't move, stay where you are! It's OK, it's OK.
No! Stay there!
No!
I've got it!
Oh, my God. I've got the baby!
I've got her. OK. I'm coming for you, hold on!
Shit!
To me! To me if you can!
Hold on! Argh!
No!
Whiskey 4-6-3 to control.
We have the baby, we have the baby.
Where's the mother?
The fire crew have got her. What happened to the man?
The water took him off. He's gone.
Put a call out for units down river to go and look for him.
Whiskey 4-6-3 to control.
All units to be on immediate lookout for a man in the water
swept away down river.
Deepa.
Whiskey 4-6-3, repeat your last.
Repeat your last. You've got her!
She's all right. You've got her.
She's all right. Give her to me! Give, give!
Oh, you got her! You're all right. OK.
Go and get warm. Go. Thank you!
I thought you'd gone.
Here, love. Just cover them both up!
Jo, they're sending transport. We're wanted in Colliery Road. OK.
And the man in the water... Yeah?
Can they have a description?
Er, yeah...
Tall, 30s. I dunno. I'm sorry, I dunno.
A hero...
Drive a coach through flood water, and you could make waves.
So, I'm just waiting on a call
to see where I can and can't take you.
Still no sign of the man who saved the baby, Jo. Sorry.
Cos I've never seen rain like this. Ever!
Yeah, it was scary... Never ever. It's the worst ever!
The river burst its banks! I know, yeah, we were down there.
They had a flash flood, burst through the wall, it did.
I don't think he wants conversation.
Yeah, we saw the whole... 2022, 2021, 2018.
They were nothing on this. Nothing.
It's global whatsit gone whatsit. Crazy!
You were good with that baby. Oh.
You were. You're a natural. Yeah.
Hiya.
What the fuck are you playing at, Jo?
What do you mean? What do I mean?
Going into flash floods to rescue babies when you're pregnant.
'You're pregnant, Jo!' Well, I was there, I had to.
Right, well, don't do it again!
All right, OK, sorry. 'I mean it.
'Now, look, I've gotta go, all right? I love you.'
Bye.
How does he know I was in the water?
Oh, Sarge called to see where we were, so, yeah...
Oh, Deepa! I had to tell him.
I think it's nice your husband's protective.
I mean, it was kind of dangerous.
Well, behind a desk from Monday, so...
So, are you, like, Detective Marshall from day one?
No, I'm doing my training, so I'm like Trainee Detective.
OK, I'm authorised to take you as far as Friston Avenue.
Stay here, stay together.
We're being evacuated, yeah, but evacuated to where?
You've asked us to wait, but wait for what? What happens now?
We're just finding out, OK?
Sarge, we're in Friston Avenue.
'OK, start moving everyone up to the school,
'then get down here to Colliery Road.' OK.
Right, listen up, please, everyone! Excuse me. Thank you.
To keep everyone safe,
we're gonna ferry you up to Holness Primary School,
where there's food and shelter for the night, OK?
So there will be more transport,
but if you want to make an orderly start with Gregory.
I've forgot me medication.
Can we take our guinea pigs and corn snakes?
I'll leave this with you, yeah? Oh, great, thanks (!)
Yeah, we'll get to you one at a time, OK?
Check this road and the next for anyone still in their houses.
And we should check if anyone's in danger or needs help.
And don't worry about the Allens at number eight,
they've got flood gates and what have you. They're staying.
And keep to the pavement.
We've got manholes popping up.
Don't want you disappearing down one of them.
Sarge, what's the extent of the flooding?
Everywhere from York Way to Batts Road.
I know.
Let's do all we can to help.
'Pat Holman. Leave a message, I'll call you back.'
Pat. Er, look, they're evacuating your sister's road,
and I don't want them coming to us.
I know that's horrible, but so are they, so...
Listen, if Kelly calls, just don't say she can come to us.
Cos if their street's anything like this,
they're gonna be with us for months.
And you'd had enough after 20 minutes last time, so...
Let me know if you got this.
Mr Allen?
Just checking you're OK, yeah?
Hi, Mr Allen, it's Jo Marshall.
I am coming. It's nothing to worry about.
Have to be careful with the flood gates.
Hello, Jo.
Just seeing how you are. Oh, good, thanks.
We've got the flood defences front and back.
And look, we're dry as a bone.
OK, well, look, if you change your mind, you just give us a call, yeah?
Oh, we won't, love, you see, Mary has got a bad tummy.
And there's gonna be so many folk down at the evacuation centre
and so few toilets, you know?
Yeah, I see. OK, well, look, if you need anything,
you just give us a ring.
Will do, thank you. And, oh, say hello to your mum.
Yeah, I will do.
Sarge, is there any news on the man who saved the baby?
'No. You'll be the first to know as soon as I hear anything.
'How you doing?' I'm OK, yeah. I'm OK.
Keep going.
All right, we all good? No-one fell off, did they?
Right, if you wanna get all your bags together
- and get ready to get down. - Get the kids off first.
Right, here we go. Who's next?
We're here for you, OK?
This is your council, and we're going to be here
until you can all return home, all right?
Look at her. Look.
"Are you all right? Is there anything you need?"
Yeah, flood sirens that work and sand bags, you useless tw...
Yes? We have cheese and onion. Mm-mm.
Ham and pickle? Mm-mm.
Tuna? Mm-mm.
No? Not doing it for you? Mm-mm.
Er... how about sausage and crisp?
Yeah. Right, come round here, you can do it yourself. OK.
Slice the sausage, then bread, ketchup, sausage, crisp,
bread again, squash it down, and don't chop your fingers off.
Right, there we go, one tuna bap.
Joanna. Mrs Markham.
Oh.
You're still scared of her.
Yeah, course I am cos every time I look at her,
I think, "You know I cut the heads off those tulips."
Right, Andrew, make one for Jo. This is my daughter. Yeah?
- What's it like out there? - Excuse me. Excuse me.
Bad. Awful. I'm talking to you.
Are you a councillor? I am, yes.
I'm just saying Chair of Planning isn't in charge of sandbags.
OK, but as a councillor, where were they?
Good question. I'll go and find out and come back.
Please do.
Surprised you're not in there, giving it some.
Yeah, well, it's good to see others worked up.
Oh, I meant to say,
Pat's sister's been looking for you, erm, what's her face?
Kelly? Yeah.
Jo. Jo.
What can I say? Yeah. All flooded out. But thank you.
Oh, I can't tell you, when Pat said, "We'll put you up,"
it was, like, massive weight lifted off my shoulders, you know?
If you just give us keys, we'll go there now.
Great. Thanks. Yeah. Right.
Excuse me, what's to stop the scumbags out robbing us tonight?
We'll have presence on the streets. He's not talking three-piece suites,
it's jewellery and the like. Streets will be policed.
Will we get the power back on in Carrick Road tonight?
No, there's gonna be no power until all the flood water's gone.
- So my tropical fish are gonna die? - Jo?
I... Mm.
Jack, are you and your tractor still in action?
I'm still offering my services. Where d'you want me next?
Orton Road. OK.
Off home, go on. Next shift's here. No, I don't mind staying.
You're soaked. Go home, rest and return.
I need you tomorrow.
Good work, though.
Gonna miss you, Marshall.
Keith, can you get the door?
I am doing! Coming!
Jo! Oh, Jo! Jo.
How can we ever thank you, Jo?
How can we ever thank you? Bam, bam, bow, bow, bow!
Keith! Yeah?
Sophie! Tea's up!
Helped ourselves to towels.
Hope you don't mind. Clothes are in t'wash.
Sophie! Tea!
Sophie! Sophie! What?
Tea's up! I'm running a bath! I told you!
Right. Let's just lay down some house rules, shall we?
No, Keith, that's for my first drink after the baby's born...
Pat got me that!
Oh, you bunch of...
Hello, my lovely lamb. How's it going?
'It's not. I'm coming over to stay at your place.'
Jo. Jo. Jo. 'I can't fucking stand them.'
You can't come to mine, I've just had a call,
Easter Road's flooded.
'Mum, I'm coming. I don't care.' No, Jo, you won't get through.
'Jo, just listen to me. I-I'm sleeping at the school.
'You're gonna have to stay put.'
Oh, no, Mum, I can't, not after what I've just called them.
Apologies. She calls me that all the time.
Well, not a bunch, but hey, have Sophie's lasagne.
She's in the bath. She'll be ages.
You're all right. I just need to, erm...
Come on. Into bed, baby saver.
Oh, hello, you. Get under the duvet.
Oh, I can't. Gotta put my uniform on to wash.
Right, it's done. In and on.
Aw, thank you.
Hey, your sister and Keith ate our lasagne.
It could have fed, like, eight people.
They just came in and took over like I said they would.
That's why I told you to stop 'em coming.
Oh, come on.
You know I can't say no to Kelly, don't you?
Nobody can, you included.
Yeah, well, I am starving,
and there's pizza in the freezer, so... Mm.
What?
Sophie didn't fancy lasagne, so there WAS a pizza.
No! But... here we go, got you something.
What a man!
God, what a day. Where were you?
Oh, I got called down to the docks.
Any flooding there? No.
Ah, is there any news on your man who saved the baby?
Mm.
God, he was right under at one point.
All you could see were just...
his hands holding this baby up out of the water.
And then to get to me, the...
..just the water was so fast.
And when he does, he's just...
..just gone...
..carried off...
..swept away.
Which could've happened... to you and our baby.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry.
Still... last day on the beat tomorrow.
Yep. Good.
Hey, hey, Crispy McGee. You want some?
No, I don't. I don't want any crumbs on my side.
Oh, my God, sorry.
This side. It's a no-crisp zone.
What, like that? Ah, brilliant.
It's weird.
Some of the streets that flooded have cleared already.
Water's gone as fast as it came, but other places are like this.
Deepa!
Deepa! Something's wrong!
Here.
Oh, the water got in.
Switch the generator off!
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, no. Please, no.
They've gone. They're long gone.
Come on. These fumes are dangerous. We need to get out of here.
Damn it.
The water came in through the basement.
'Whiskey 4-0-7, urgent update, please.'
Whiskey 4-0-7 to control, er...
Eight... Colliery Road, two deceased... Don and Mary Allen.
Possible carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator. Request CID.
Whiskey 4-6-3 remaining at scene, and scene log commenced.
'Received. Over.' You stay here.
They've found another body.
I've been called into town. Gotta go.
Hello?
Down here.
Careful, it's muddy and slippy. Water's just gone down.
Just you? Others are on their way.
Ugh. Sewage.
Body's in there. Er, where, sorry?
In the lift.
Flood water came up to here, you see?
So it's, like, the lift comes down
into the deep end of a swimming pool,
fills with water, and he's trapped. No way out.
It's a man? Well, I could only see an arm, but think so.
Step back! Clear. Move!
Stay well back from the lift door.
OK. Open her up. Let's see what we've got.
Carefully. Try and cause as little damage as possible.
But quick as you can. We've got calls coming in from all over.
That's it. Thank you. Step away.
Torch.
D'you recognise him?
No. Never seen him before. OK.
Flash flood comes through here around half five yesterday,
fills up down here super fast.
If he's coming down the lift and the power goes,
he's trapped and drowns.
I use that lift all the time. Could've been me.
You, see what ID he has on him.
What have we got?
Nothing, sir. No ID or anything. Nothing at all?
No, sir. Nothing on the floor?
OK. You stay here till the SOCOs come.
Oh, and make sure you put up a cordon.
Yes, sir. Rest with me.
We've got a body blocking a storm drain outside of town.
You OK? Yeah, fine.
You look a bit pale.
Jo. I'm fine.
I want you down A&E. Don't argue.
You've been in contaminated water, and you're pregnant.
No. Do as you're told. It's your last day on my team.
We lost your dad because he wouldn't go to hospital.
Get yourself checked out.
All right, but can you just not tell Pat this time?
He gets all het up, and I'm fine.
Sarge? Erm...
Someone reported a body blocking a storm drain.
Yeah. Was a sheep, not your hero.
Now, the circus has come to town. That's all we need.
Government ministers flying in to showboat.
I'm getting you a car now. Meet it round the back.
Sorry.
Oh, not again. Not again. Please.
Oh, God.
Aw. She's gorgeous.
You go. You go. I'll see you again, and if there's any news, I'll...
Mum! What you doing here?
A&E said you'd gone to critical care.
Yeah, to see the baby from yesterday. Come here.
But why are you even here?
Because Pat called and said you'd picked something up
from contaminated water.
Yeah, but I'm fine. I'm all right.
They monitored me for an hour and said that I'm good to go,
no treatment needed, nothing.
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Mum.
Oh, God. Can we go?
This is where they brought your dad, in't it?
Yeah, course. Come on.
Oh, God.
What you like? Ugh!
Hey, what's going on?
A man was found drowned in a lift this morning, middle of town.
Yeah, I was there. Well, they're saying now
they think he died three days ago, before the flood.
Pat? I was there at the car park when the man was found.
I was first on the scene. Yeah, just... Mm-hm.
"Jo's been in a flash flood. Jo's got carbon monoxide poisoning."
Yes. Look, I'm OK, and that was my last patrol.
I'm a detective from Monday, and Pat,
I was there when the lift man was found,
and the caretaker said to me that he uses that lift every day,
so how did the body end up in there?
Who put it there?
And... And where was it before? And why move it?
And if he didn't drown, then how did he die?
I mean, it is a murder, right?
Jo, from Monday, you're training to be a detective.
Yeah. Training, learning. Right.
No, no, just listen to me, just for a second, all right? Just listen.
I'm on the murder team now.
I'm covering for people, so, yes, it is a murder inquiry. OK, thank you.
Just for me, please, don't go in there talking about things
that you don't know anything about. But I do.
A rookie cop tells you how to do your job on their first day.
What's your response?
Yeah. Right.
Just...
Thank you for your time and attention.
Babak. Jo. One of us now.
Yeah. I think, er, Pat's just popped out.
Yeah, no, I, erm... How's all this going?
Cos you know, I was there when they found the body.
Yeah, er, it's a good one. It's a puzzle.
So we've got a cause of death. There we go.
Blunt force trauma to the head,
and there's also these bruises to the body.
Superficial, but they're there.
For my money, given he had no ID on him, and no-one came forward,
he could've been homeless and just got into a fight.
Well, what did the toxicology report say?
Clear, but not everyone who's homeless is off their face,
and we drew a blank at the National DNA Database.
No matches. What about dental records?
Yeah, but they'll take months.
Well, can't we just feed his DNA
into one of those genealogy databases, you know,
the trace-your-family things? You can't do that.
No? Fuck no. That's illegal.
It's not allowed.
You'd be breaching every data protection law under the sun.
Hi.
OK, good news, baby's fine,
and your inflammatory markers are normal, so no infection.
But she collapsed, she dropped. Right, yeah.
She had a vasovagal episode. What's that?
You fainted.
You're a touch anaemic, which is not uncommon in the third trimester.
So don't worry, if we keep you in for the night,
stick with the IV fluids and iron supplements,
all being well, you can go home tomorrow.
Oh, God, that's the best news ever.
Er, third trimester?
Months seven, eight and nine? Mm-hm. The last three months.
Yeah, but Jo's only just six months.
I...
..I'm seven months.
I just wanted to start my training course
because then I could do all that stuff online
when I'm with the baby.
No, Pat. Don't.
Look, lamb. Lamb, sweetheart, you're not big enough.
She's not big enough for seven months.
She's plenty big enough. She has strong abs,
and babies put on most weight in the last four weeks. It'll be fine.
Oh, Jo. Bloody hell.
What were you thinking? Eh? Sorry.
You on maternity leave now, yeah?
Er, sick leave for a bit. Jo?
Got your stuff.
Keep in touch, now, yeah? I'm off sick for a few days.
What is with everyone?
Er...
What?
Has Pat said something about me being on maternity?
What? No. What d'you mean?
Babak, erm... can I jump on your computer for a sec?
My laptop's dead.
Er... sure.
Any news on lift man?
No. Zilch.
But with a no-one, that's no surprise, is it?
There you go.
Leave it up, yeah? Yeah.
You're OK, sir. You're all right.
It'll be that E. Coli shit. Everybody's getting it.
Yeah, you keep your head down there.
We're fetching a doctor.
- Hi. - Hiya.
Have you seen Pat?
Yep. I saw him at work, and he saw me, but he ignored me.
Yeah, erm...
Shouldn't you go over to him?
I mean, you know, who owes who an explanation here?
I mean, I love having you stay. I hate being on my own, but...
No, he turned away when he saw me, Mum, he just... turned away.
And I'm sorry, but he's gotta do better than that,
because everybody at work was going,
"Oh, bye. Have a good maternity leave."
And why did they think that? Cos that's what Pat's told them.
He just...
He just wants me to stay at home with the baby.
He doesn't want me in the police any more,
let alone doing my detective's course,
but I'm sorry, I am doing it.
I've started it, and I'm going back on Monday.
OK. Good.
Mm. Good.
And what are you doing till then?
Oh, it's just a bit of revision. You have to take an exam so...
But I'm not going up the allotment.
Oh, God, no. No.
No. No, I'm just fed up of all this gumpf...
cos none of this stops people
like your man who saved the baby from drowning, does it?
Well, hang on, we don't know that he's drowned.
Well, where is he, then? Course he did.
Anyway, even without him, you know, you've got...
you've got the Allens and people without insurance,
or who can't sell up or can't get a council swap
because who wants to live in a town that floods all the time?
How do I DO something that's gonna make a difference to 'em?
Oh, I dunno, like what?
Like getting this council to start throwing its weight around.
You know, make that toady government minister
keep his promises, because who said apply for grants?
"Oh, there's all this money you can have for flood gates
"and moving your plug sockets higher up the wall."
The government, and people did apply 18 months ago.
And no-one's had a bean because people,
like that Sarah bloody Mackie,
are only on the council to big themselves up.
"Oh, I'm Chair of Planning.
"I brought the Uplands Eco Housing to Waterside. Me, me, me."
I wanna nail fuckers like her.
I want 'em naked in a sandpit with their hands on their heads.
Ah, she'd probably look all right, to be fair.
What? I'm talking.
I'm trying to say something here, and you're on your laptop.
All right, sorry.
No, no, come on. What's more important? Come on.
Show me what... What are you doing?
All right. Morning after the flood, I was in this underground car park
because the body of a man had been found in a lift
that had been filled with water, so presumed drowned.
Until the autopsy told us
that actually he died two days earlier so... Right.
Anyway, I'd been asked to search the body for ID,
but he didn't have anything. There was nothing on him.
What we do have is his DNA,
but there was no match on the police DNA database,
and we're not allowed to put it into one of those genealogy sites
everyone uses to track their ancestors.
Why not? Oh, it's data protection.
Well, you might get a match. Yeah, I know.
Well, just do it. No, you can't. It's illegal.
Well... Well, who's gonna know?
No, no, you can't. It's breaking the law.
I only told you cos you asked me what I was looking at,
and you know, this is why I wanna be a detective.
Plus, one of the guys on the team was going,
"Oh, he's probably just some homeless guy. What's the bother?"
I just thought I would bring it home and have a look
and see if anything jumped out at me.
God, you sound like your dad.
Hm. Well...
So, you wanna get Waterside Council off their backsides?
Yeah.
Oh, no. What you doing now? OK.
What? Me, be a councillor? No.
Yeah. No, no.
Come on, stop faffing about with all this, and get stuck in.
Go on. Have a look, see what you have to do.
I'll finish the brews.
I'd have to stand for election.
'It's a yes from me.'
'Emma?' WOMAN: 'It's 100% yes from me.'
'Well done, girls.'
'You've got three yeses. Well done.'
'Wow.'
How many women come on their own for these?
Most partners come to the first one, but they trail off after that.
My husband hasn't come to any.
He's in the police, so he does try to come.
It's not all his fault. Mine's a surveyor.
He was working on the Uplands Housing Project.
We're living there now. Wow. What's that like?
Oh, it's great.
We've got solar panels, a heat-exchange boiler, everything.
And we can see the old place from our front window.
It was under 3ft of water before the flood receded.
So, yeah, we love the new place, and we're lucky... very lucky.
OK. Do you wanna see baby? Yeah.
Looking good. No problems at all.
You've done a grand job today. Oh, no, you as well.
Aw, I appreciate it. You did brilliant.
Ta, darling. Thank you. Lovely.
Molly, Molly, Molly. Sarah.
The bunting on your soup kitchen... Yeah.
The flooding is not the council's fault.
We're doing everything we can.
Sorry, sorry, sand bags, the flood siren,
getting grants for people who flooded 18 months ago.
All right. No, you are not doing what you can!
OK, OK, Molly. Molly, listen.
On sandbags, the siren and those grants...
..I'll have words cos you're right. Good. Great.
Oh, Andrew, our latest foster kid...
you let him make a sandwich. Yeah?
Well, he likes growing things,
so we wondered if he could plant some stuff up at Bren's allotment.
Yes. Yes, please. Yes. Oh, yeah.
I mean, he can grow whatever he likes.
Yeah, me and the allotment, we struggle. Yes.
See? We can work together.
It's interesting you say that cos...
I've decided to stand in the next local election,
probably not on the same side, though, eh?
Oh, shit.
Mum? What is it?
I've got an email from that Gene Tracker.
Eh? What? From who?
I put the lift man's DNA into an ancestry site,
and they've got a match. Oh, you said that's not allowed.
It isn't, it's not, but I just...
So, what did you get? What kind of a match did you get?
A sibling. Oh, a sibling! A brother?
No, no, it's a sister. What? The sister of the lift man?
Yeah, she's erm, living in... What's this? Gallargues-le-Mont...
I don't know how you say it. It's France, I think.
Her name's Tasha Eden, she's 24, and we can message.
What? And say what?
I dunno.
What? Is that her? Is that the sister?
I mean, it's a foreign code.
It's a lot of bloody numbers.
What are you gonna do?
Don't answer it. No? No.
OK, yeah. I mean, it might not have been her.
You know, could've been somebody else.
Same number.
Hello? Hello?
'Can I speak to Joe Marshall, please?'
Yeah, speaking. Is that Tasha?
Yeah, but... sorry, the Joe Marshall I need is a man.
'Right, yeah, erm...'
I've had an email telling me I am a sibling match to him.
'Yes, no, I-I'm Jo, just without the E, I...'
I put that on the end
because I know that the DNA I was using is a man's. Erm...
But I don't know what you're saying. What are you saying?
Sorry, yeah. Look, the match is with your brother.
'My brother?'
Yeah, erm... look. Oh, God, I'm...
Are you... are you alone? Do you have somebody with you?
"Alone", yes. What is this?
I-I'm so sorry, I just...
I'm afraid that your brother died just under a week ago,
in Waterside, in Yorkshire.
