Pippi i Söderhavet (Pippi i Söderhavet)

All right, there's your margherita, mate. Okay?

Caribbean, I'm still waiting on that Caribbean.

Get off the phone and get moving, please.

Hello? Hello?

- Quicker! - All right, done.

- No. - Well, where's it going?

Bramham Gardens. Let Abdullah take it. Abdullah!

Abdullah!

- Bramham Gardens. - But I thought I was taking it.

No. Not this time.

- It was Mikey's. - And now it's yours.

Can I have a chicken special, please?

12-inch chicken special. I'm still waiting on the Caribbean.

If you'd get off the phone and get moving, please!

- Who is it? - Pizza.

I paid on the phone. Wait a mo.

No special topping?

Oh, forget it.

Thanks very much.

God, I'm a mess.

Yep.

Okay.

Is this a case?

It's a murder.

Are you sure it's a good idea?

Yeah, I want to do this one.

Good luck.

Is that it?

Don't say it's still open.

Turn around.

What the hell is this? You're still serving?!

I've got your margherita there for you, mate, okay.

What are you doing? Close the place down.

- I've got targets to meet. - Yeah, so do we.

- Where's my pizza?! - It's coming.

No, you're not! No-one's getting their pizza, are they?

- What? - Cos you're shutting down.

Excuse me. Yeah. Close the place down.

What? Where's my pizza?

Did you see anything?

He gave us our pizza.

And then I closed the door.

Then we heard gunfire out in the street.

Maybe, 30 seconds later.

How did you know it was gunfire?

Because I was brought up in Beirut.

Okay.

You were alone?

Yeah. With the children.

She fell asleep afterwards. I think she had a reaction.

Reaction?

To what happened. I think it was fear.

When did you order?

Uh, 9.30 pm. We have a pizza every Monday.

At the same time?

Yep.

By phone? What did you order?

Quatro formaggio. It's her favourite. Elfie.

Isn't that a bit late? How old is she?

Seven. Elfie's on her own clock.

- You said "children". - Yeah, yeah.

- How many? - Two.

Tell me your second child's name.

Lucy. But she doesn't come into it. She's a baby.

You threw it in the corner, the pizza?

Yeah.

You live by yourselves?

Apart from the au pair, who's not here.

You're not married?

I don't understand, I just ordered a pizza,

my marital status has nothing to do with it.

All right, if you have to know, the baby's not my husband's.

- Are you arresting me for that? - Did the pizza man say anything?

Apart from thank you when I gave him the tip, no, nothing at all.

- Thank you? - Yeah.

- That's all? - Then he went.

Do you have the receipt?

- Did you pay cash? - I don't have cash.

I didn't have cash. I paid over the phone.

We've got to sort this out.

We can't go on like this.

I know.

We've been on three dates.

The first one, we never even made it to bed,

you had to take a call from your leader.

Tell me about it.

And then tonight, like the last time,

I'm sitting in a restaurant, eating fucking breadsticks.

You don't even call me.

I tried. The reception's terrible.

Look, David, you just have to decide what you want.

Has it never occurred to you that Labour may not even get back?

That there might not be another Labour government?

I don't understand. You're going to have to ask me again.

What I'm saying, I thought there was a rota.

- Sort of a rota. - Meaning what exactly?

- People take turns. - So it was Mikey's turn?

- Yeah. - In fact, you'd already told him,

you go to Bramham Gardens with a quattro formaggio.

Yeah.

So why did you decide not to send him?

I changed my mind. I sent Abdullah. I can do what I want.

- I know. - I am in charge.

I understand that. My question is, why did you do it?

Why?

Abdullah was killed delivering a pizza.

I don't know anything about that.

I'm not saying you do. I'm not accusing you of murder.

However, the murderer was waiting.

Why didn't you send Mikey?

I'm asking, is the system random?

How could a gunman know who he was going to kill?

And if he wanted to kill anyone in particular,

was it just chance that you changed your mind?

Well?

I don't know.

Did you see anyone outside? Anyone following him?

- No. - Was there a reason?

Was there a reason that you sent Abdullah?

He hadn't had a run all night.

Abdullah hadn't had a run all night.

- So you felt sorry for him? - Yeah.

You sent him out of the goodness of your heart?

Who owns this place?

I manage it.

I know that.

- The owner changed. - When?

Last month. I've never even spoken to him.

They're in Boca Raton.

Right. So this is a south London pizza parlour

owned by a man in Boca Raton?

Yeah.

This is Mikey Gowans.

Yeah, we met.

Mikey's just realised it might have been him.

Mikey, you're going to have to tell us

why anyone might want to kill you.

Look, it doesn't make any sense.

Are you sure about that?

Did you know Abdullah?

Not really.

Did you know his second name?

He'd just started. I think...

- I think he was Syrian or something. - Syrian?

Mm, that's what he said.

How do you get paid?

By the delivery.

Cash?

- Yeah. - Any paperwork?

It's not a paperwork kind of place.

What did you do before?

I was a bouncer. In a night-club.

Till I got hit.

Which night-club?

The Turbine.

Then I'm not surprised you got hit.

Rakhee, take Mr Gowans back to the station?

I'm going to the scene.

Can I say something?

Yeah, you can say whatever you like.

The system is the system.

Disliking it isn't going to change it.

It carries on, regardless of what you feel about it.

And what has that got to do with my being late for a date?

You know,

you're a really nice man, David,

but you are so lost in things that you can't do anything about.

You no longer have any idea who you actually are.

Where are you going? Just stay.

No.

I can't stay here.

Come on, you'll feel differently in the morning.

I don't think so.

Well, at least let me order you a cab.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Look, if the Labour Party makes you angry,

- what do you think it does to me? - It makes you boring.

Nathan, okay?

Are you making any sense of this?

I don't get it. There's no way a gunman

can know which delivery person's coming.

What do you think it is? Random shooter?

- Does it for the hell of it? - I don't think so.

What, then?

Why would anyone kill a pizza-delivery man?

Well, have you ever eaten their pizza?

- Amusing. - Something else odd.
