The Bay

Ooh!

I hate you.

I think you look really nice!

I'll race you to the buoy.

Well, come on, then!

Oh, my God.

Your side. Going down.

Have you got it?

We're not open till lunch.

Mariam. Sheila, what is it, love?

'We're just coming up to nine o'clock on Bay Radio.

'Thanks, Craig...'

It'll be fine, love. Once you get there.

I know.

First day, you're bound to be nervous, I know I am.

I... I'm not nervous.

He so is. Shut up, you.

Guys, I know it's a big change.

New town. New school. New everything.

I'm just saying, it's only natural.

Mum! Stop!

Ah!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Are you OK? Did you bang your head?

Are you all right? No, it's OK, Mum. We're OK.

Look at the car!

Jesus Christ, can you not look where you're going?

Are you all right? I would be if you weren't halfway up my arse.

There's no need for that. I'll give you my details.

Oh, sod it. I'm calling the police, yeah.

Let's see what they say. Yeah, no need. They're already here.

Mum? We're gonna be late.

The school's two streets over. Do you remember the way?

Look after your sister. I don't need looking after.

Shut up. I'll look after you.

I'll call you later, OK?

I love you both. Are you all right?

Go on. Have a good day.

Come on, then, what are you going to do about this?

I'm sure we can sort this out like adults.

Let's just let the insurance people handle it.

Or if you prefer, we could talk about

the Section 5 Public Order Offence. You what?

Use of threatening or abusive words or behaviour

to a serving police officer. It's up to you.

Let's let the insurance people handle it.

That's what I thought.

If you'll excuse me.

Get out my way! Look, love, I told you...

Sorry, Miss, you can't... It's OK, I'm job.

Oh, my God. Excuse me.

Oh.

Do you know who that is?

It's our Saif.

It's my son.

Oh.

Oh!

Can we just... I'm sorry, what's your name?

Mariam. Mariam Rahman. Mariam, I'm Jenn.

Can we just step away, find somewhere quiet?

DS Townsend?

DI Manning, I was on my way to meet you.

Look...

Go. Go. Mariam!

- Where are we? - In the office up there. Up there.

Mariam, listen to me, please. I just want to see him.

I just want to be with him. I know, I know you do,

I know you do. Honestly. I'm sorry, but you can't.

Not now. Not like this.

Boss?

There was no phone on the body, but there was this.

So that's our new FLO? What's she like?

We'll soon find out.

Will you just stay with her a sec? Yeah, of course.

I'll be right back.

Here y'are, love. Have some tea.

DI Manning.

I'm with the victim's mother, she's in a bad way.

I'd like to take her home, but my car's a write off.

It's a long story, there was an accident.

Actually, it's not a very long story,

but I'd like to take her home, if that's OK.

I just... I need some transport. I've got my car.

OK, Karen, you're with DS Townsend.

I'm assigning you both to the family.

What are we looking at here? Half of CID doesn't show up for a drowning.

Well, we'll know more after the post-mortem,

but it looks like he's taken a beating.

The sea can do a lot of damage to a body,

but, er, let's say, not like this.

OK.

I'm Jenn, by the way. Jenn Townsend. I'm the new FLO.

Yeah, I know. I'm Karen.

It's not true, is it? What they're saying?

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

Thanks for bringing her home. We'll take it from here.

Oh, I'm afraid that isn't going to be possible.

We do have some questions. Where's Adnan?

He's not here yet, Baji.

If we could just go inside.

This is private. We're grieving.

Shazia, it's OK.

Call Adnan.

Maybe today he'll find a way to put us first.

I'll try him again.

Do you mind if we sit? Yeah.

Thank you.

So, I'm Jenn. Detective Sergeant Jenn Townsend.

And this is my colleague, Karen.

DS Karen Hobson.

We're going to be your family liaison officers.

We know this is a terrible time,

but the first 24 hours are absolutely crucial,

so we are going to need your help.

What can we do? We just need some information

so we can start to build a picture of what's happened.

What do you need to know? Well, everything really.

We need to know who's who in the family

and everything there is to know about Saif.

There are three boys, is that right?

Saif's the middle one. His, er, his big brother's Adnan.

And then there's Jamal. He's the youngest.

He's at school, he's in sixth form.

How am I going to tell him? Oh, we can help with that.

Erm, which school does he go to?

- Erm, Sandylands. - Sandylands High School. Yeah.

Right, everyone. Exercise books out.

Hey. What?

No, just hey.

Stop acting like we're mates. We're not mates, all right?

I was just...

Miss Danes, could I have a word with Jamal please? Yeah, of course.

Could you... could you come outside for a minute, please?

Will you tell us about Saif?

He was, erm, well, he was a good boy.

I mean, I... I know that sounds daft.

But he was. You couldn't ask for a better son.

You must've been very proud of him.

Yeah. Yeah, course.

When did you last see him? Look, Karen, can we just...?

Yesterday.

Last night. After work. Where did he work?

Lewison's. Haulage company in Half Moon Bay.

He drives a forklift truck. He came home around six as usual.

He still lived at home?

With me and Jamal.

Adnan's got a place of his own, but Saif...

..well, he liked his home comforts.

And how did he seem? What kind of spirits was he in?

He was fine.

He was just... normal.

He had his dinner and then he went to the gym to... to train.

It was just an ordinary day. What gym?

Bay Sports. West End.

He was training, he had a fight coming up.

And he didn't come back last night? No.

But that's not unusual.

He... he sometimes stayed out with mates... or whatever.

Did he have a girlfriend?

He was sneaking someone in and out the house.

He thought I didn't know.

He was a popular lad, Saif.

How did he die?

Cos you haven't said.

We're sat here talking

and you still haven't told us what actually...

It's... it's, erm... too soon to say.

Until there's a post-mortem, we...

So you don't know? Did he drown?

Just tell me, was it an accident?

No, we don't think so.

Oh, Jamal!

Molly. All right?

What's the story with Jamal?

Eh? You've not heard?

The... the police came. The police came and took him out of class.

'I'm sorry, but the person you've called is not available.

'Please leave your message after the tone.'

What about this one? Will we get it back?

Oh, of course, yeah. We'll make copies

and we'll get the originals back to you.

Bloody hell, Uncle Kareem, where's the fire?

Adnan.

Hi, Adnan.

Who are you?

What's going on? It's all right, mate.

It's all right. Course it's not all right.

I didn't mean it like that. Then what did you mean?

Will somebody just tell me what's going on?

My name's Jenn. I'm a police officer.

Would you sit down, please? I'm not fucking sitting down.

What's happened? What's going on?!

And there I was thinking I was in for a quiet life here.

Thanks for your help in there.

I have a tendency to go all around the houses,

so it was good to have you to get straight to the point.

Yeah, yeah. No worries. Only, I do think it's important

to build a rapport with the family. Find common ground before...

Yeah, we need the information, though.

Oh, no, no, yeah. I mean, that's what I'm saying so...
