Good Cop

Libby, don't touch, there's a good girl.

It's a jellyfish.

Yeah, but don't touch it. No, not with your foot either.

It's just waiting for the water to come in, so it can swim back to sea.

Don't hurt it.

Cassie?

John Paul.

I heard you'd gone to the States?

Well, yeah, I did. I'm back.

For good?

We'll see.

How old's she now? Four, five?

She was six, last week.

She's shy.

You're a stranger.

Come on, Libs, we'd best be going, eh?

I'll walk with you. You in the car park?

No, no I'd rather you didn't.

Rather you didn't at all.

Hello there...

They do a nice cheesecake in here, I think. Passion fruit.

They're really starting to piss me off.

Sav, they're ballooned.

- Over here love, when you're ready. - Yeah, I'll be with you in a minute.

- Medium rib-eye? - That's me.

And pasta.

Thank you.

- Do you have any Parmesan? - Yeah, I'll bring it over for you.

Do you want the meat and I'll have the pasta?

Why?

Well, shift starts soon, you can't have all the beef you want.

Just say when.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

Exactly. Enjoy.

- Five bottles. Five shots. - Yeah, I'll be with you now.

Now, listen... Amy...

You might have a cracking little arse on you,

but when I talk to someone, I expect them to look at me.

So don't you ever blank me again.

Sav...

John Paul...

Oi! Eat.

- Do you want to swap seats? - I'm eating.

Make sure you chew it.

28 times.

Very good.

Be back in a minute, Tom.

All right, Amy. Are you following me?

- This is the ladies'. - Yeah, I know. I like it in here.

Doesn't stink of piss.

- I'll come back. - No, no, no need for that.

You do what you've got to do. Don't mind me, go on.

- No, I'll wait. - No, no, don't wait.

Or I'll feel bad. Go on.

Are you all right in there, Amy?

D'you need a hand?

With your belt, or your buttons, or...?

I'm good with my fingers.

Come on, open the door.

Back in a minute.

What do you want?

- Should you be in here? - Should you ?

- Police. - You're joking, aren't you?

- A copper in a birds' shithouse? - We get everywhere.

Yeah. I noticed.

I think it's time you and your crew paid up and left, don't you?

Why's that?

Do you want me to check out your pockets?

Is that what you want me to do?

You know, the next copper I see on his own...

I'm going to hammer him!

Have a nice day, sir.

Miss, it's OK. I'm a police officer.

- Remember Cassie, Gaz? - Yeah, of course I remember Cassie.

She's back. Saw her this morning.

- Planned? - No. I was on the beach, running.

How did it go?

She said hello. It was awkward, but... you know.

- Polite. - Yeah.

It's a big deal though, innit? Seeing her again.

Yeah, it was a bit.

She had the baby with her. A little girl.

Libby. Liberty.

How did that feel?

Don't know. Different. Weird.

She couldn't get away quick enough, Cassie.

- Did you ever tell your dad? - No. Couldn't.

- Guys. - Andy.

Got a screen full of e-mails from CPS, all barking orders.

Or requesting support.

- Hey, have you seen the new WPC? - Amanda.

Ah, is that her name? Yeah, she's all there, man.

- Good weekend, Gaz? - So-so.

Next door had a barbecue.

Oh, rock'n'roll.

Was it pissing down?

- Kids enjoy it, Gaz? - Yeah, they loved it.

Food, music, trampoline, vomit - what's not to enjoy?

See you in there, lads.

I think I'm in lust. With Amanda.

Thank you.

All right? I'm Andy.

Amanda. Oh...

Amanda's my mother's name. Only... we all call her Mum.

Don't.

- What? - Flirt, please. No offence.

Oh, yeah. None taken.

- Afternoon, boys and girls. - Afternoon, sarge.

Can we settle down and sit down, please?

The sooner we get started, the sooner we can get started.

- Lesbian, are you? - We've got a lot to get through.

- I assuming you've got the DO736 forms...? - Me too.

A lesbo trapped inside this alpha-male body.

- Can I watch? - Police Constable Stockwell?

- Yes, Sergeant - Look at me, and keep looking at me.

- Sergeant. - Stockwell, Sav.

Call sign Alpha 21, City centre and to the South.

Check your list of outstanding carefully, It's on the long side so, prioritise.

- She knew I was joking, didn't she? - No idea, mate.

You'll have to mention I'm a very "PC" PC.

'Alpha 21, over.'

Alpha 21. That you, Debs?

Tell her we're not out of the car park yet!

Domestic disturbance, Sav. No.35, Mariners Quay.

35 Mariners Quay. Roger that.

Right. Ready to do some good?

Can't wait.

- What was the name again, Bays? - Bays. Yeah.

Chocolate biscuit?

Mr Bays...? Mrs Bays, could you open the door, please?

Police.

I hate domestics.

Who is it?

It's the police. Could you open the door, please?

If you look outside your front window

you'll see a police car. That's what we arrived in.

Mrs Bays...?

Mrs Bays, neighbours reported shouting, screaming.

You've left your shopping outside.

Are you alone?

Upstairs.

Who?

David.

David?

Can you tell me what happened?

Nothing.

I didn't do anything. Nothing.

What happened to your nose, mate?

It started bleeding, like it always does.

- For no reason? - Yeah.

You're sure nothing happened?

Sav?

Baby's dead.

A tiny baby.

Oh, Christ, you are jokin'?

Foul play?

No, I don't know. It's tiny.

You're sure it's dead?

Right. I'll call it in. Paramedic, CID?

Better had. Shit!

Lima One, Lima One. This is Alpha 21. Receiving, over?

Yes, requesting CID and ambulance to 35 Mariners' Key.

Can you update me with the ETA...

Sarge, from Alpha 21. Did you get my last transmission

regarding the situation at 35 Mariners' Key? Over.

Your brother, right?

- What's his name? - Stan. Stanley.

David, I need you to pass Stanley over to me,

and I need you to go downstairs to your mum.

- Can you do that, please? - She's saying it's my fault.

- I didn't do anything. - OK.

I need to start sorting things out.

Can I take Stanley, please?

I'll hold him really carefully, just like you're doing. OK?

I'll be really gentle with him.

That's it. Good man. Good man...

Good lad, that's it.

The blood on the blanket - is that yours?

Yeah. What are you doing?

I think it's best if we wait downstairs.

I know what you're doing, who you're calling.

I don't need a paramedic to tell me what's happened.

- I know what's happened. - It wasn't my fault.

- I told you to stop saying that. - Well, it wasn't!

So you keep telling me again and again and again!

Mrs Bays, I think it's best if we go downstairs, OK?

I know what you're doing.

You'll be all right, mate. You'll be looked after, OK? Go with Andy.

I'm sorry, Mrs Bays, but I have to ask you these questions. All right?

- What time did you go out...? - PC Rocksavage?

- Yeah. - Night CID.

- You found the body, I believe? - The baby, yeah.

- How did it look, the scene? - The lad was just holding him, gently.

- Did he say anything? - Only that nothing had happened.

I wouldn't call it nothing, would you?

Is he all there? The kid?

- How do you mean? - Is he normal? Or not?

He's normal.

- Anything unusual seen or said? - The whole thing was unusual.
