And you've got to make up your mind!
Are you going to accept it down on your knees?
Or are you going to stand and fight,
and oppose the closure and the butchery of your industry?
We'll never be defeated!
We're miners! United! We'll never be defeated!
You saw the scenes which went on in television last night.
I must tell you that what we've got
is an attempt to substitute the rule of the mob for the rule of law.
A baton blow to the back of the head, fracturing me skull,
and baton blows across me back, me legs and me ankles.
Done by whom? The police. By the police.
Get in here and see what they're doing.
In spite of the ongoing strike, 10 of the 12
collieries in Nottinghams hire have defied the union
and are operating normally.
Why aren't you in favour of the strike?
Cos I can't afford to strike. I just can't afford to strike.
Those men in Nottinghams hire who want
to go to work could be subjected to daily insults and reproaches
by those men who are out on strike.
As some of the local miners walked in,
they were followed by groups of flying pickets who'd spent the night
hidden in Sherwood Forest.
A lot of pickets are very aggressive,
calling us names and throwing stones at us.
We won't be bullied by pickets from Yorkshire.
But I warn you that if at the conclusion of this dispute
you are still crossing our picket lines,
you will be stained till the end of time as a scab!
Scab! Scab! Scab!

Supporting law enforcement in this city is a passion of mine.
Not just because I'm relieved it no longer falls to
the Sheriff of Nottingham to uphold the law, but because keeping peace
for our community requires the success of operations like Reacher.
And with that, we have a special commendation for Detective Chief.
Superintendent of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit,
Ian SAINT Clair!
SAINT Clair! That's you, mate.
Er, thank you. Thank you.
I don't mean to contradict you, Madam Sheriff,
but it's pronounced the more humble Sinclair, you know.
Oh...
As my mother used to say, it's a mutton name in lamb dressing.
Which didn't stop me having ten bells o' shite knocked out of me
at school, by the way, but...
Anyway. Yes, I was head of this operation,
but the success was down to my team.
They worked tirelessly to get these criminals off our streets.
Now, we all know that policing...
requires the cooperation of the public.
We need their... their faith, support.
And we find ourselves not in a particularly good place
in that regard at the moment.
And some might say with good reason.
The tradition is that we police by consent,
and if we lose the consent of the people, well...
Now, we have a long way to go to earn back...
some of that trust.
Thank you very much.

But I'm also very touched that Neel and Sarah have asked me,

Thank you, Sarah, for asking me to give you away today.
I'm very honoured.
You're off to the Yorkshire Dales in a couple of weeks
after your, er, like...
these elections. It's a good choice.
Cos the Settle and Carlisle railway line, which I got you tickets on,
is one of the oldest and most beautiful in all the world.
It is, honestly.
Built in the 1840s by over 6,000 navvies,
many of whom lost their lives.
Some of the most harshest conditions imaginable, cos you had your...
the wind and your rain and your snow.
And, erm...
Well, smallpox was the biggest killer.
But it stands, I think, as a good metaphor for what
a good marriage is, based on my own very happy life
with my late wife and Neel's mum, Trudy.
The terrain required tunnels to be blasted into the mountainsides,
and viaducts to cross gaping valleys, like beautiful.
Ribblehead Viaduct - which I'm sure you've all seen pictures of,
even if you haven't been.
And then there's the incline at Blea Moor.
It's a 1:100 gradient,
which the locals refer to as "the long drag."

Suspected arson with intent. Wow.

is Dean... Dean summat.
Dean...
Dean Simmons. Lives at number 13.
Yeah, I've just been dealing with him out there.
And him and Gary had words at the reception on Saturday,
so I don't care what his alibi is, you make sure you get
his clothes from last night.
Yep, no problem.
In the victim profile, you should mention that Gary were NUM.
National Union of Mineworkers.
He were one of the few round here who kept solidarity with them
during the strike. This was predominantly a UDM village.
Breakaway union. They didn't support the strike, went back to work.
All that was a while ago, ain't it?
I know.
James, let us know when that printer's set up, would you?
Will do, sir.
We're miners! United! We'll never be defeated!
A couple of private security cameras confirm
Gary returned home at 10:18pm.
None of them caught what happened.
But he walks past this one at number 23,
turns, coming back up the street, passing it again,
possibly because his murderer called out to him.
Anything else?
Well, what's sort of amazing is that none of the neighbours, bar one,
mentioned the fact that there's an archery range up on a farm,
off the Elmbank Road, run by a family called the Sparrows.
Oh, the Sparrows. Jeez...
They're sort of "that family" round here.
Only been charged with minor drug of fences, so far,
but we suspect them of more.
So, I think people are wary of naming them.
Truth be told, some folk round here don't seem massively happy
to be speaking to us, full stop.
Well, don't take it personally.
There's a lot of history round here with the police.
You're doing a good job. You stick to it.
All right, you two.
After this, you go to the Sparrows'. Ta. Mm-hm.
Is anyone, at some point, going to mention the obvious
cultural reference point here?

I assume it's with regards to the information that led to his arrest.
Yeah, but his charges were dropped. Makes no sense.

Yeah... Dad, listen. Mum's going to swing by, too, briefly.
I just thought you should know, in case you came back early.
You know what? I'll twist the knife in even further, shall I?
Save you the trouble? Oh, Dad, come on.
If the two of you worked harder together, maybe...
It's not about trying harder, Adam.
You know, when two people are wrong for each other...
How can you say our family was wrong? All right, all right.
Not wrong. Just eventually...
Just not right enough, you know?
Look, I'll be all right. Don't worry about me.

Hello.
DI Salisbury? Yeah.
We have a call coming in from Nottinghams hire Police for you.
Nottingham?
Yeah. DCS Ian St Clair.
Can we transfer that through?
Yeah, Yeah.
Just bear with me.
Just transferring you now.
DI Salisbury.
DI Salisbury, this is Detective Chief Superintendent Ian St Clair.
How can I help?
We're investigating the murder of a local resident here, Gary Jackson.
His record shows that he was arrested in October '84,
but the charges were dropped following an intervention
by yourself, if I recall.
Well, as I'm sure you can appreciate,
that was all quite a long time ago.
We're having trouble accessing some of the relevant details, strangely.
Particularly who provided the information leading up to
his arrest, and whether they have anything to do
with his subsequent murder.
Yeah, well, if it's all right with you, given how long ago it was
and how complicated this particular matter was,
I'd prefer to submit anything in writing, so it's less...
Less clumsy.
Well, maybe I could send you some questions,
and you can get back to me.
Yeah, that'd be fine.

We haven't got time for your lot today.
We won't take more than a minute.
You can have it stood here, then, can't you?
Don't need to come in.
Actually, we're investigating a murder.
We wondered if you have any records of regular visitors
to your range thing over there.
Why? Who got killed?
Your records.
This ain't Butlin's. We don't keep records.
People come up, pay cash.
Here.
Ones who book by phone and leave their name, at any rate.
Thanks.
We'll be in touch if we need anything else.
Cheers.
Thank you.
We've looked into this, and, regrettably, it appears
the information Notts Constabulary require relates to
a confidential matter elsewhere, unrelated to the poor victim.
A confidential matter...
Nevertheless, we feel it might be good if you actually went there.
Show willing, offer support, an exchange between forces.
Yeah, and a way to get me to clear off for a bit
while the IOPC deliver their verdict on me.
It'd just be for a couple of days, DI Salisbury.
But since you bring it up, it would be good to discuss what options
are available to you in advance of their decision.
What, firing squad, noose, lethal injection?
You lost your head, Kevin.
A fellow officer is charging you with physical assault.
Yeah, well, this anonymous officer has a history of treating suspects
from certain ethnic backgrounds, shall we say... quite aggressively?
And when I witnessed such behaviour...
Yes, I've seen the X-ray of his arm.
Yeah, and I've seen the posts he likes on social media, so...
HE EXHALES
You've a decent record. Twice interviewed to make DCI.
And yet, for various reasons, it didn't quite pan out that way.
You've gone as far as you can, Kev. Done your 30 years.
Pension in the bag, retirement's there for the taking.
And then all this can go away.
KEVIN SIGHS Look, erm...
My personal and financial circumstances aren't in a...
Yeah, I'm going through a messy divorce.
And I do feel, what with everything else, that...
I would like to keep working for a while longer.
Please.
Then it looks like you're going to Nottinghams hire, doesn't it?
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Uh, Julie?
Hi. Sorry for calling you late.
It's Ian St Clair.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, go on.
Well, I were just wondering if Gary, erm...
you know, anything had come up recently about his arrest
during the strike. It's just, we're having a bit of trouble
getting information around that.
What, in '84?
What's that got to do wi' anything?
Well, probably nothing.
Just, you know, we're covering all the bases, that's all.
I probably shouldn't have called.
No. Always call.
I want you to always call, wi' anything.
Are you all right?
No.
But I've got my grandkids here and...
my daughter's on her way, so...
Are YOU all right?
Yeah. Erm...
Look, we'll be in touch.
All right? Goodbye.
Yeah. Bye.
Totally responsible for that happening, all right?
So don't worry.
You all right, love? Yeah, yeah, fine.
