Cuffs

And you really think that's acceptable behaviour?

Broad daylight?

Kids, old people walking past?

A public toilet just down there in the park.

Why didn't you use that?

Needed a waz. I was desperate, man.

So desperate you had to urinate all over this man's shop-front?

Don't care. Don't like fruit.

HE SLURPS NOISILY

Mmmm, delicious(!)

It is. Actually.

Yeah, I can see that from the way you look like you want to throw up

every time you take a sip.

So you ready for tonight? Big date?

Yeah. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yep. Totally.

What?

It's just... I don't know what she's expecting.

If I need to do any prep or...

- Prep? - Yeah.

Y'know, what do I need to know about her?

I told you, there's nothing to know.

Alice used to work with her sister.

She's looking for a bit of fun.

Whoa...!

Control, this is Kilo Two Three Zero.

Priority call, all units, we have an escaped prisoner on Nunhead Road.

Nah, no way.

Can't do this. Humiliatin', man.

'Lee McNair, dark trousers, dark top, about six foot,

'has exited the rear doors of a prison escort van

'which were blown out using an explosive.

'The male has got onto a motorbike and is heading north.'

'Control this is Kilo Two Three Zero.

'We have sight of the black motorbike.

'Registration number Alpha Juliet Five Eight November Golf Victor.'

The motorbike is heading towards Woodingdean

travelling at speeds in excess of six-zero miles per hour.

Kilo Two Three Zero, this is Inspector Webb,

you do not have authority to break the speed limit.

- 'Boss, it's McNair!' - Understood.

'You are authorised to follow the subject vehicle

'at speeds and in a manner consistent with the Highway Code.'

Kilo Two Three Zero are at the scene.

Please keep this channel clear unless priority.

'This is South Sussex Police,

'we have an ongoing incident with a prison van break-out.

Ground units are following a suspect vehicle which is a motorbike.

Can you provide air support?

20 minutes...?

'This is Kilo Two Three Zero,

'we are heading north onto Dalton Hill.

Kilo Two Three Zero, air support has been requested.

'Please continue with commentary'

while you have the vehicle in sight.'

The weather is clear, the road is dry.

Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero,

we're approaching the south side of Dalton Hill.

Prison van break out, sir. Motorbike.

I've authorised a follow. NPAS are 20 minutes away.

Divisional Commander Vickers, South Sussex.

I am requesting an urgent NPAS.

This is a priority call.

This is Kilo Two Two Zero, we are in position.

'Stand by, Kilo Two Two Zero.'

'He's going over the crest of Dalton Hill -- you eyes-on yet?'

OK, got him.

Control, we have eyes on the subject vehicle.

No, I do not have 20 minutes for a transit, I need a chopper here now.

Control, this is Kilo Two Two Zero,

subject vehicle is 20...

30 metres ahead of us.

70 miles away. Insufficient fuel.

'Permission to engage?'

They need to increase their speed, sir.

Nah, it's too high risk to engage.

I have to consider the vulnerability of the rider.

A bank robber?

Abort.

Abort.

'All units involved, this is Inspector Webb.'

You do not have authority to pursue a motorbike.

We do not have air support at this time.

'All units to acknowledge, over.'

Come on!

MOTORBIKE ACCELERATES

SIREN CONTINUES

It's a loss.

'A loss, a loss.'

We had an abandoned 999 call from this address.

Can we come in, please?

I'm sorry.

It's a mistake.

Even if it's a mistake,

we still need to check.

Find out who called the police.

Are you sure you're OK?

Tell 'em we don't need 'em.

I'm all right.

Really.

Thank you.

If you don't let us in,

we can use our own powers of entry to come in anyway, all right?

Just open the door for me, please?

Thank you.

SCREAMING AND GUNFIRE

Do you want a tea.

I'm all right. Thanks.

Do you remember I came here before?

Couple of weeks ago?

The neighbours heard you screaming.

And it wasn't the first time.

They don't like us.

The little one.

The noise.

They were worried about you.

I'm worried about you.

Why did you call us, Stacey?

You made an emergency call to the police.

You must've wanted us to come here.

Those red marks on your face...

How did you get them?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I had a drink. I know I shouldn't.

I fell over.

You hit the door?

Is that what you're saying?

Can you just get him out of here?

All right.

It's all right.

So what happened here?

See him. Camper.

Sets himself up, waits for me to come along.

Then blows me brains out.

Look, I've asked you...

Leave your game for a minute and tell me what happened here.

I'll tell you what happened.

She went mental, like she always does.

What d'you mean, "mental"?

She's a head-case, mate.

She's been on them anti-depressants for months.

Makes no difference. She gets all worked up and goes for me.

So you're saying that Stacey attacked you?

We were having words.

She starts screaming, kicking out. I tried to get away, but...

.. you know what birds are like, mate.

Vodka and hormones.

You stay in here a second, Reece,

I need to have a chat with my colleague.

So what do we do?

Obviously, the priority is to get him away from her.

And how do we do that?

Nick him on suspicion of assault, criminal damage...

Get a female officer down here,

talk to her, try and get a statement.

Good.

You see the doors?

He's taken off all the handles,

so she can't shut herself in the room, hide from him.

Congratulations, we're trending(!)

#lockyourdoors.

"Hapless police lose dangerous prisoner!"

- We did our best. - You think that makes a difference?

In half an hour, this nick'll be crawling with brass

and a load of hacks cutting and pasting their headlines.

"Keystone Cops at it again".

Why do they always write that?

What are the Keystone Cops, anyway?

Silent film comedies featuring a gang of policemen

known for their incompetence.

Boss, what do you want us to do?

I don't know.

Find him.

Today!

Three muggings in two weeks.

The first two picked up on CCTV,

this last one called in by a member of the public.

I was jumped when I was a kid.

50p dinner money and a Curly Wurly.

Do they still have Curly Wurlys?

All the kids who were attacked were from the same school.

None of them reported the crime.

Right.

Time to visit Lord Snooty's Academy for Over-Privileged Young Gents.

I'm a celebrity, mate.

And remember, you don't have to stay here

if you don't want to.

My mum won't have us.

Well, we can move you and Tyler to a refuge?

Or if you do want to stay, we can change the locks,

place a panic alarm, sort out a safety plan.

I don't know.

You have a think, and I'll be back in a minute. All right?

- Did you get one of the door? - Yep.

She's had too much to drink to get a statement now.

So I'll have to wait. Try again tomorrow.

- You all right to finish up here? - Course. - Excellent.

I've got to convince her to go into hospital --

- get her injuries looked at, photographed. - Right. - Cheers.

Yeah, I'll hold.
