[car engines roaring]
[siren blaring]
[tense music]
[footsteps thumping]
Have a good shift.
[tense music continues]
[tyres screeching]
-How you doing? -I'm off.
-Have a good night. -Will do.
[breathing heavily]
[tense music continues]
[car engine roaring]
[tyres screeching]
[tense music continues]
Okay, it's okay, I've got you.
[tense music continues]
Keep breathing.
Someone's coming, it's okay, I've got you, I've got you.
[gun booming]
[car engine roaring]
[phone ringing]
[Rachita] Clive?
[Clive] Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you so late,
but it's urgent.
Who are the victims?
How come you couldn't say on the phone?
The female victim's a nurse from the hospital.
The male, Frank Chapman.
Ma'am.
His car's just over here.
It's covered in blood on the inside.
It was found with the engine still running
and the doors unlocked.
Ma'am.
Most of the blood's located in and around
the driver's side.
Is there any sign of a weapon?
No, ma'am.
Also no blood spatter or gun residue.
Windows are all intact.
There's no damage to the interior
or exterior of the vehicle.
Nothing to suggest an injury occurred inside.
So he was bleeding before he got into the car.
If it's his blood, then, yes, most likely.
We'll get the samples off to the lab immediately.
Okay, thanks.
Clive, can you get Liam to get CCTV from around here?
-Ma'am. -What about the bodies?
Inside, ma'am, being prepped for the PM.
Okay, we need to get ahead of this
before the press get wind.
What about the rest of the Chapmans?
Yet to be informed.
This has to be led by us and not by them.
We can't risk them taking matters into their own hands.
[tense music]
The don himself, Frank Chapman.
Even stone cold you wouldn't cross him.
[tense music continues]
Looking at the wounds,
this first shot would have definitely been close,
although no vital organs were hit.
There would have been some internal bleeding
but wasn't necessarily fatal.
So, more clumsy, maybe.
What about the second?
Much more targeted.
Which is consistent with a drive-by.
The shooter hit the central mass, lots of vital organs,
lungs, the heart.
They definitely wanted to kill him.
Frank would have died within minutes.
They've got some balls of steel going for the top man.
Who in their right mind would risk going to war
with the Chapmans?
[tense music continues]
[dramatic music]
[flames whooshing]
[rhythmic music]
Are you aware that Carly has accepted a DS position
over in East Mids?
Yeah, I encouraged her to go for it.
We need all the manpower we can get,
so a new DC will be joining you,
and it's an immediate start.
DC Charlene Ellis.
We hope you'll mentor her.
The Chief Constable has organised a series of
recruitment events, the aim being to support
BAME and female candidates perform at their best.
You've proven to be one of the best DIs we have,
but given the prominence of the Chapman murder,
you should be aware that
people will be watching your every move.
So with that in mind, Beardsmore wants to pull forward
your disciplinary review.
He wants to be-
Making sure I'm keeping my mouth shut.
Rachita, I think we got off on the wrong foot.
I personally fought to get you back.
I admire and respect your tenacity to get the job done.
You care.
My apologies it's taken this long to catch up
since the lifting of your suspension.
It's been exactly three weeks, Superintendent.
Yes.
And in the light of current events
we have corrected this oversight.
Professional Standards have already formally briefed you
on the conclusion of the investigation
into your relationship with DCI Martyn Hunter.
[Hikora] Which clears DI Ray of any criminality.
Yes, and although no evidence of criminality was found,
two other matters remain outstanding.
The allegation of bullying a junior colleague
and your interpersonal issues with management.
However, it has been decided to deal with these matters
by issuing words of advice.
You are to avoid close personal relationships
which may result in conflicts of interest,
to respect the authority of officers in a senior rank-
Can we pause for a moment, please, Superintendent?
With regards to DI Ray respecting the authority of officers
in a senior rank, perhaps senior officers should be mindful
of racial profiling, as well as certain lines of questioning
which display a level of stereotyping.
For example, assumptions about the languages
an officer speaks and where they originate from.
Best not to dwell.
I was expected to be a certain type of officer,
and when I didn't fit the assumptions
that were made about me I was deemed to be a failure.
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
I am genuinely sorry you've been feeling upset.
That was never our intention.
Perhaps it would be helpful to us all
if we were to look forward.
It's not just our building that's new.
We're developing in all areas.
DI Ray, if you're willing to work with us,
I assure you the journey to Detective Chief Inspector
will be a swift one.
I will do everything in my power
to support your application.
I'm going to have to go, I'll, um, leave you
and DCI Henderson to move matters forward.
We need you to work with us, DI Ray, to think like us.
Officers like you are crucial to the continued improvement
of West Central.
Understood, sir.
[tense music]
[Beardmore] We need you to work with us, DI Ray,
to think like us.
[tense music continues]
Our nurse's name is Megan Parks.
She was newly qualified,
coming to the end of an 18-hour shift.
So, she was most probably in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
It's possible she was a target,
but based on our second victim I think we can safely assume
she was caught in the crossfire.
We also have a potential eyewitness.
It looks like he could be a porter.
We need to track him down and speak to him ASAP.
Kwesi, can you get onto that, please?
I'd like to help with that, ma'am.
Frank Chapman was clearly trying to get to medical help
when he was intercepted.
Can we get hold of Chapman's phone records?
Already put in a request, ma'am.
Someone like Chapman will have tonnes of burner phones.
There's no chance you're gonna find them all.
What do we know about the Chapmans?
They're loan sharks who operate several pawn broker shops
in the area.
Well, let's just call them what they are, ma'am,
an organised crime family.
Mmm-hmm.
Frank Chapman's the Midlands' very own Teflon Don.
He's been on Serious and Organised Crime's radar for years
but no charges against him have ever stuck.
He's clean.
All the Chapmans are.
There's probably a few foot soldiers doing time,
but the Chapmans, they operate a no grass rule,
and it works.
Okay.
Forensics indicate that Frank was bleeding
before he got into his car.
So, where did the first shot take place,
and how and why was he able to get into his car
and drive away?
[door crashing]
-Armed police! -Armed police!
-Armed police, nobody move! -Clear!
-All clear! -Clear!
[tense music]
[Officer] All clear, ma'am.
[tense music]
Crime really does pay.
Could someone come and bag this phone up, please?
This must be Dave and Suzie Chapman as kids.
Their daughter Suzie's been abroad for a few months.
Somewhere in Spain.
It's Frank Chapman's name listed as owner
of all the businesses, but word is his son Dave Chapman
oversees the day-to-day running of them.
Well, he delegates, anyway.
What about their mum?
Yvette Chapman?
She passed away a few years back.
[tense music continues]
In here!
The blood spatter suggests he was shot around this area,
but there's no other sign of a blood trail.
They must have been stood pretty close.
I mean there's no sign of a struggle.
And no evidence of a break in.
[Clive] Maybe they were invited in.
Or they had a key.
If it was a rival, surely they would keep their distance,
kill him on neutral ground.
Not in his own home, it feels too risky.
Whoever was driving that car clearly meant business.
Why did the first attempt fail?
How long do you think between here and the hospital?
That time of night, 20 minutes, I reckon.
So, what happened between
the first shot that took place here
and the second shot at the hospital?
Would you pour a drink for someone
who might want to kill you?
[phone ringing]
Kwesi?
We tracked the eyewitness from the footage, ma'am.
His name's Michael Adoje.
He works as a night porter.
Only now he's a patient.
Claims he had a run-in with a member of his family
and doesn't want to take it further.
Ma'am, someone's done a number on him.
It's pointless.
Whoever did it has made sure he's not gonna talk.
Sorry, ma'am.
What is it?
We're too late.
They got to him.
It's started.
[tense music]
Will your sister be joining us, Mr. Chapman?
She's on her way over from Costa Dorada.
Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, I think it might be best
if we didn't discuss the details of our investigation
in front of your daughter.
Joey, love.
Why don't you go play in your room?
I know this is about Pa.
Do your tablet for a bit.
Okay.
But after I want you to tell me everything.
Do you have any knowledge
of what your father Frank was doing
or who he might have been with
between 9:00 p.m. and the time of the incident?
Nope.
When was the last time you saw your dad?
Mid to late afternoon.
Went round his to talk through some accounts.
Do you know if he had any plans afterwards?
No idea.
[door banging]
[Amy] Dad?
Amy, my eldest.
They're here to check our alibis, love.
[Rachita] I'm afraid we're obliged to rule you out.
We were asleep, in bed.
Joey gets bad dreams, bless her, so I was in with her.
And this one sleeps through everything.
[Rachita] Is there anyone that can verify
where you all were?
We were at home, asleep, in bed.
Has your dad mentioned anything
out of the ordinary recently?
Any conflicts?
Anyone who may have had a grudge to bear?
Oh, there are heaps of folks who didn't approve of the way
he did business.
You know, at this stage, Mr. Chapman,
any information would be helpful,
no matter how insignificant it may seem.
Dad was clean.
You know, as well as the nurse who lost her life,
there is a porter in a pretty bad way in hospital.
We've tried talking to him
but he's point-blank refusing to speak to us.
Any chance you could leave us in peace
and get on with finding out who murdered my dad, officer?
[tense music]
The hospital have confirmed that our porter has
two broken ribs, fractured collarbone, concussion
and internal bleeding.
There's no CCTV coverage of the attack.
No witnesses have come forward.
It's a dead end.
I want to know who Frank was dealing with before he died.
Let's start looking deeper into Chapman businesses.
We need specifics, their client base,
who are they doing regular business with?
We're working on Dave's list of business numbers
-and tracking them. -Good.
And let's get a profile of their staff as well.
[tense music]
Our thoughts and condolences are with the family
of Megan Parks.
Megan was a well-loved member of the community,
embarking on a promising career in the NHS.
Her loss is a deep tragedy for the whole city.
I want to assure you that our colleagues
over at West Central Police-
-Colleagues? -are working
around the clock to ensure the offenders
of this violent and senseless crime are brought to justice.
They themselves acknowledge their past failures
and are committed to tackling this investigation
with a fresh approach.
[tense music]
Mr. and Mrs. Parks?
My name is DI Rachita Ray.
[door rattling]
[gentle music]
[microwave pinging]
[gentle music continues]
[phone chiming]
It's the exact make and model involved in the shooting.
Forensic evidence will be limited.
Sorry.
Thanks, mate.
Ma'am, that was Liam.
The vehicle was first picked up near a parade of shops
in the jewellery quarter,
about 200 yards from one of the Chapman premises.
It was then caught in Hockley heading south.
After that we lose it.
He's not been able to verify any owner details
connected to the vehicle.
Council have really fucked us turning these cameras off.
Tell me about it.
I know someone who could help.
He's an ex-youth worker.
He knows everything that happens round that way.
Might be worth a visit.
Let's go.
[tense music]
[Joey] Dad, she's here!
Are you too old for hugs these days?
[Amy] No chance.
Good to see you, chick.
[camera clicking]
[Kwesi] Family reunion.
Do you think he knows we're here?
Where's your evil stepmother at?
Dad, Auntie Suzie bought me a handbag.
Yeah.
Just what every 11-year-old needs.
How's Beardsmore been with you since you've come back?
I'm "crucial to the continued development
of West Central."
Wish I bloody was, might get paid a bit more.
No, but seriously, after what they put you through,
I'd have told them all to do one.
Saying that, my mortgage just went up.
After you, ma'am.
-Hey. -Hey!
Good to see you, brother.
Yeah, you too, Hardeep.
Hang about.
He does a mean Tandoori kebab.
Melts in your mouth.
How's Sam?
Yeah, she's good, yeah, ta.
Busy.
Hey.
[Rachita] What meat is that?
What do you want it to be?
I'll do you a couple of boxes.
Oh, it's very kind of you but I'm actually vegetarian.
Get out of my shop.
[laughing]
I'm only messing with you.
[Rachita] Hardeep, we're investigating a double murder
that occurred outside West Central Hospital.
Yeah, I heard what happened to that poor girl.
I don't suppose you recognise this vehicle?
Do you mind telling us what you know about Frank Chapman?
Never met him.
But you must have heard about him.
I know he was good at sorting things.
When people don't want your lot involved, like.
No offence.
Price was always higher for us lot though.
What do you mean?
Well, non-whites.
They always added a premium.
Is there anything else?
No.
This isn't your average gang drive-by.
Someone out there has pushed things too far.
It's only a matter of time before there's a retaliation.
The sooner we find Frank Chapman's killer,
the sooner we can dowse whatever it is
that's about to catch fire.
I don't wanna get involved.
You know, Megan had nothing to do with this.
-Ma'am. -She was an
innocent bystander.
Clive told me how much you do for young people in the area.
I know how much you care.
This is our chance to prevent
more tragedies like this from happening.
[tense music]
There's been talk, you know.
This family.
What family is this, mate?
They've come over from Leicester.
They're all in the same sort of trade,
and they've been crossing over into Chapman territory.
The jewellery trade?
Yeah.
And the rest.
They ran things over there.
Have you got a name?
The Mochanis.
[tense music continues]
[car horns blasting]
I spoke to an ex-colleague from Leicester constabulary
who's had dealings with the eldest child
of the Mochani family, Ravinder Mochani, known as Rav.
A few years ago he was done for possession of a firearm,
but as he was a first-time offender he only did two years.
We also spoke to an old friend of Clive's
who's an ex-youth worker
who confirms that since the Mochanis have been on the scene,
tensions between the Chapmans and the Mochanis
have been brewing.
It sounds like the beginning of a turf war.
What are you thinking?
With your permission, ma'am,
I'd like to bring the Mochanis in for questioning.
Is there really enough evidence?
We can't work on hearsay, DI Ray.
Previous failings mean we have to be so careful
when we're profiling.
Frank Chapman has probably built up a number of enemies
over the years but none with the confidence
to carry out his murder.
This family may be key.
What about surveillance then?
I'm happy for you to put in for a surveillance authority,
but I would urge you to make sure
they have something to do with it first.
You're actually on time.
Ah, um, Rachita, this is my husband Nick.
Oh, hi.
Oh yeah, DI Ray.
-Lovely to meet you. -Likewise.
This is my brother Ethan.
Hi.
Hi there.
Er, we should get going or we'll lose the reservation.
Okay.
Thank you.
Hey, we're off for some, er, tapas and drinks.
You're more than welcome to come join us.
It's really kind of you but I have plans.
Enjoy your night.
[Jay] Do you have to be somewhere?
Um, I've actually got loads of work to do.
Do you want me to get you a minicab?
It's all right, I'll walk it.
What is it you do?
Admin.
[Jay] Maybe we could get a drink next time?
Yeah, it's probably best if we don't.
You know the old it's not you, it's me?
Well, in this case, it really is.
[tense music]
[dog barking]
[door banging]
Sorry, we're closed.
[tense music]
[Thug] You pig-loving bastard.
[tense music continues]
Easy now, all right?
You'd better keep quiet about the Mochanis.
[rhythmic music]
♪ Car gets surrounded by blue tape ♪
♪ Need to get out here before it's too late ♪
♪ I should have ♪
Rav Mochani.
[Clive] Flash bastard.
Let's go.
I thought we weren't authorised.
Do you have an appointment?
Well, my name is DI Ray, and this is DS Bottomley.
We're in the area making some inquiries, and, er,
we were wondering if we could speak to the proprietors.
I'm Sharan Mochani.
This is a family business.
What's it regarding, officers?
Well, we're wondering if any of you
recognise this vehicle.
No, I don't.
What about you?
Afraid not, officer.
[Sharan] Would you mind telling us
exactly what this is about?
We're investigating a serious incident
and we're simply trying to get as much
-information as possible. -What's the incident?
Frank Chapman was murdered around 11:00 p.m. on Sunday,
and a young nurse was caught in the crossfire.
-We've heard. -But we've never had
any dealings with the man.
But you must know about him.
What's your full name?
Detective Inspector Rachita Ray.
Interesting they sent you to talk to us,
Detective Inspector Ray.
[phone ringing]
Excuse me, I have to take this.
[tense music]
Now, if you don't mind.
You're not great for business.
[tense music continues]
There's a strong possibility that Frank Chapman's murder
is turf-related.
Hardeep seemed pretty sure about what's been going on,
but we need to make sure that we follow
all lines of inquiry.
Frank had enemies coming out of his ears
and Dave Chapman even alluded to the fact.
Ma'am, I've tracked the Mochanis' vehicles,
as you requested, and on the evening of the incident
Sharan, Priya and Rav's were all parked up
at a family-run Persian restaurant in town called Kish.
Can you get in touch with the restaurant
and see if they can get any CCTV footage of them?
Already on it, ma'am.
Clive, Kwesi, let's carry on covert surveillance
of both the Chapmans and the Mochanis.
Charlene, I want you to carry on investigating
the Chapman shops, see when Frank last visited them
and try and get anything you can out of the staff.
Ma'am.
Frank was a really good boss, you know.
In what way?
Well, I've been here 30 years.
Not once has he missed my birthday.
And when was the last time you saw him?
Sunday it was.
He came in for a meeting.
What is it?
I don't want to make a statement.
-Okay. -Might be nothing.
[Charlene] Any information is useful to us right now.
When he was leaving,
I saw him having an argument with a fella.
Can you remember what he looked like?
He had a Sandwright's uniform on.
[Charlene] The supermarket?
Yeah.
I recognised it 'cause I do my food shop there.
Okay, just a tick.
Where are we, Sunday, er.
Er, Karen, Jermaine, Lisa.
Er, just a tick.
[tense music]
Er, Sohail, Sam, Graham, Vicky.
Hey!
Aled?
Police, stop!
[dramatic music]
You fucking idiot!
[dramatic music continues]
[Charlene] Stop!
Are you okay, DC Ellis?
I'm arresting you for assaulting a police officer
and on the suspicion of the murder of Frank Chapman.
You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned
something you later rely on in court.
Fuck off.
Aled, we have an eye witness who claims they saw you
arguing with Frank Chapman outside his Pawn Haven shop
on the day he was murdered.
Can you tell me what you were arguing about?
Why did you run from us?
What have you done, Aled?
Nothing.
It's not the first time you've been in custody, is it?
You have quite the CV.
How do you know Frank Chapman?
Did you work for him?
No.
This is a murder investigation, Aled.
I'm gonna ask you again.
Why were you arguing with Frank Chapman?
'Cause he's an evil fucking bastard, that's why.
They all are.
-Who are? -The Chapmans.
[Rachita] In what way?
They kept upping the vig, saying I owed them 25 grand,
made me do drops for them, burnt my scooter,
went to my mum's house, scared the shit out of her.
It's how they operate.
They get you into debt
and then they fuck up your whole life.
They're all fucking fuckers.
They deserve everything they get.
How much did you borrow, Aled?
Two grand.
I'm the victim here.
And what happened after the argument?
I went to the pub and I got shit-faced.
Loads of people saw me.
Never take on the Chapmans.
Are you sure you should be here?
Yeah.
The doc said it was fine.
I've got a pretty tough nut you know.
How did it go, anyway?
Charged with assaulting a police officer,
but multiple witnesses corroborate his alibi
for the time of the shooting.
Liam, where are we at with the forensics on Frank's car?
Er, there are some other prints
on the back seat door handles
but none that match any on our database.
The blood is all his.
Also, forensics are back from the whisky glasses
in his kitchen.
One had traces of saliva which match his,
but the other had no trace of DNA.
So whoever it was didn't even take a sip?
There is something else, though, ma'am.
I've been studying the CCTV from the Persian restaurant,
like you said, and look at this.
Rav Mochani leaves around 22:18 and then doesn't return.
Sharan and Priya are still at the restaurant till 1:45 a.m.
And then ANPR picked up his vehicle
half a mile away from West Central Hospital.
Rav Mochani has form.
We know he likes to mark his territory.
He's used scare tactics in Leicester in the past.
He has a lot to gain from taking on the Chapmans.
And now he potentially doesn't have an alibi.
Look into Rav Mochani's phone records and movements
in the days leading up to Chapman's murder.
I'm gonna check in with Clive, see who's shown up for Frank.
[tense music]
Kwesi, are you still at the Mochani shop?
[Kwesi] Yep, still here, ma'am.
Great, stay there.
I want you to keep eyes on Rav.
[camera clicking]
Been meaning to say, after the Mochani meet,
I didn't know you could sign.
I did a course years ago.
I can only remember a few words.
Mainly how to swear.
Are these lot mourning or celebrating?
-Can't be. -What?
[Clive] That's Lou Kirkby.
What the fuck's he doing here?
Who's he?
Oh, he used to be into all sorts,
fraud, drugs, you name it.
Last I heard he was doing 20 years.
Well, do you reckon he's worth checking out?
Yeah, possibly.
Though he's probably just here to show his face.
Oh, bollocks.
Here.
Ta.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
Bloody washing machine's on the blink.
Bloke can't get out to us till next Tuesday.
[tense music]
What's he after?
Something's up.
[tense music continues]
[camera clicking]
They know.
This is all for show, they know we're watching them.
They want us here.
[voices talking amongst each other]
Dad?
You all right?
Yeah, sorry, love.
Miles away.
Tough day.
[voices continue talking amongst each other]
Babe.
I think you should make a toast to your dad now,
before she gets on one.
[tense music]
[van engine roaring]
Kilo Mike 459 to Control.
We have an armed robbery in Mochani jewellery shop.
Correction, it's an abduction.
Two IC1 males wearing gorilla masks.
They're taking Rav Mochani.
[Rachita] Sierra Bravo 29 to Control.
[Control] Sierra Bravo 29, go ahead.
Get me marked cars and air support.
They're heading northwest towards ring road.
Black Transit van.
Papa, three, seven, zero, November, Lima, Foxtrot.
Um.
Dad was a man of loyalty.
[All] Yeah.
Dad was a legend.
A force.
[van roaring]
There was no one like him.
[Control] Camera sighting of vehicle at junction
of High Street and ring road.
[brakes screeching]
[Clive] You're too close, we don't have backup.
[Control] Sierra Bravo 29, visual?
Ma'am?
Having him taken from us like this
has ripped the heart out of our family.
Ma'am, slow down.
[tense music continues]
[brakes screeching]
Ma'am.
And we won't rest until we have justice for Frank.
[All] Yes!
Will we?
[voices shouting over each other]
[Clive] Stop it!
Stop now!
[Rav groans]
[tyres screeching]
