The Bay

What happened?

Nothing. It was just an accident.

What, you accidentally got hit in the face?

It's nothing to worry about, honestly.

Was it to do with Saif Rahman?

Erin, I can't talk to you about work.

All right, I were only asking.

Jesus.

My God.

Are you all right?

Yeah, of course. Why?

Just, I heard about last night.

The boys were talking. I told them not to make a fuss.

Should've given me a call.

I'm good in a scrap. I fight dirty.

Karen, I'm fine.

Morning. Are you OK?

Oh, right, so everybody knows?

Small town.

Forensics have confirmed that the blood

found out the back of the boxing club was Saif Rahman's.

We can't be certain it's where he died,

but it's definitely a site of interest.

We've also found his phone, only it's badly damaged.

Tech are trying to work on it now.

But I also heard this morning from the exhibits officer,

and the lab has found some fibres on Saif's clothing,

caught in the zip of his top. They look like carpet fibres.

We've sent them off to try and find out more. I will keep you posted.

Eddie.

We've been collating CCTV and witness statements,

trying to reconstruct Saif's movements on the night.

He gets a bus to the gym,

getting on at Longlands Road at 25 to seven

and off at Waterloo Terrace at quarter to.

We see him again, heading for the gym at ten to seven.

But we don't see him again.

What we now know is that he went round the back,

which is, unfortunately, a CCTV black spot, so no joy there.

We do know, though, that his training session finished at nine.

So, what happened to him out the back of the club, yeah?

Who was there?

And how did he end up dumped in the bay some time before midnight?

'The Bay' by Samuel Sim

Erm, Jenn...

Erm, about Adnan... Yeah, boss, I know you said

I didn't need to go down there, but because it was a family thing...

Oh, no, no, no, I don't mean that.

Uniform have checked, and CCTV confirms,

he was at the Festival Market lockup that night between 8:45

and just after midnight.

So that means we can rule him out? Well, he still lied to us.

Yeah, he's got history with the police. He doesn't trust us.

We can rule him out as a person of interest,

but he wants to watch himself.

Are you sure you're all right?

I wish people would stop asking me that.

Sorry, I'm fine. Honestly.

Oh, sorry, did we wake you? You must be joking.

Haven't slept a wink since it happened.

Oh, sorry, I, er... haven't had a chance to tidy up.

It's OK, I've seen worse. You want to see my gaff.

Look, why don't we just, erm...? No, no, that's not your...

It's all part of the service.

All jobs included, very competitive prices.

I don't want you cleaning up after me.

Then give us a hand.

Erm, right.

Need any help?

Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

Tidy this up, eh?

Don't want anybody seeing it like this.

I'm sorry... about...

It's OK. It was an accident.

Yeah, but... I was out of order.

You've just lost your brother.

We looked into your story about the lockup.

It wasn't a story, it's the truth. I know. We've got you on CCTV.

So, is that it, then?

Well, between you and me,

my boss is still pissed off about you lying to us.

That didn't do you any favours. But, yeah, that's it.

You need to keep your nose clean. Your mum needs you.

Your whole family needs you.

Did I get you in any shit? I don't know. I don't think so.

I can't believe her.

Er, Jenn. There was no need to drag us in like that, was there?

She was just doing her job. She seems all right.

You don't have to live with her.

I mean, my dad's only known her five minutes

and she's moving in, and the kids.

It's just a fucking nightmare.

Shit...

I'm sorry.

Bloody hell.

What?

Nothing.

No, no, come on. You got something you want to say to me?

No.

Who are you to judge me?

I'm not judging anybody. I'm just trying to do the recycling.

Excuse me for thinking about the environment.

Everything OK?

Leave me alone.

Right, love, I better get a shift on.

I'll call you later.

Mind out.

See you later, love.

Just heard back from the Coastguard.

Based on tidal patterns and wind direction,

they calculated the most likely place Saif's body went into the bay

was along this stretch of coast here

between Heysham Cliffs and Half Moon Bay.

We're working closely with them to sweep the area.

House-to-house, CCTV, public appeal, the works.

And now that we've got a crime scene at the boxing club,

we're mapping every route

between there and the area we think Saif's body was dumped.

We have got our work cut out.

Boss, the haulage yard where Saif worked,

and his Uncle Kareem, that's in Half Moon Bay. I know.

You better get down there. Find out if there's a link.

So, you were working with Saif that day? The day he died, right?

Yeah, well, I was on the late shift. He left before me.

What time did you finish?

Clocked off at midnight.

And what did you do after?

Just went straight home. I were... I were knackered.

And was Shazia still up when you got in?

I don't know.

No. She was... she was in bed.

I remember because I woke her up taking my boots off.

She were right pissed off. Look, what's all this about?

All right? I didn't know you worked here.

I don't. I'm just picking up a shipment.

It's a load of farm machinery just in from Warrenpoint.

Is that all right, Officer? Don't let me get in your way.

Was he here on Sunday night? I don't think so, no.

No, no, he was on the road. He was on the road. Mariam said.

Stuttgart or something.

Er, Saif clocked in same as usual, clocked off at half five.

I already told your colleagues. What about Kareem?

Kareem?

He was on late, clocked off at midnight.

Can we get a copy of that? Yeah, yeah, course.

Look, anything we can do to help.

I already gave your colleagues the CCTV. Cheers.

No, no, like I say, anything we can do,

because the lads are gutted about Saif.

We all are. He was a good lad. So he was well-liked at work?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, he could be a bit full-on, Saif.

How do you mean?

Well, just... he knew he was going places.

He used to talk about it, about how he was going to get out of here,

kick the shit off his shoes. The lads took the piss a bit,

but he was right, he was going places.

I still can't believe it.

I know.

Erin, can I have a word, please? Thank you.

Look, if this is to do with Jenn... You'd like her, do you know that?

If you actually gave her a chance.

If you made an effort, you'd actually like her.

And why do have to make an effort?

Because it's harder for them, that's why. All right?

They're the ones that have had to change everything.

They've moved house, changed schools. That's not easy.

I know.

And I know it isn't easy for you either, love.

I know.

Look... it's his first week,

so just...

...give him a chance. Give him a chance, that's all.

Just be... nice to him.

For me.

Go on.

Budge up, then.

Cheers.

Come on.

He was like, I don't know, more than an uncle.

Like a dad almost. After Saif's own dad died.

Look, erm... Junior Youth League.

Senior Youth League.

Er, North West Amateurs.

Kareem was always there.

Mm.

And they've not got any children of their own? Shazia and Kareem?

No.

No, they tried for years, but...

Mm.

Who's that?

Oh... that's Ritchie.

He was Saif's sparring partner.

He was at the house the other day.

Yeah.

Well, they were mates, they went to school together.

Oh, God, look at him.

Just look at him.

Do you have kids?

Yeah, a boy and a girl.

Oh.
