One Night

You don't just drop off a gun at a police station and go home.

You say you just found it, you were just handing it in.

We've got two people in hospital, son, fighting for their lives.

Going to tell us your name, now?

Suspect still unwilling to confirm his name.

You're been held for possession of a firearm,

which is a very serious offence.

But what concerns me even more, right now, is this.

GSR.

Do you know what that stands for?

Gunshot residue.

Tiny particles that are scattered when a gun's been fired.

Which we found on your clothing.

You were there last night when this weapon was used, weren't you?

Stop writing, please.

I said, stop writing.

Pens down, papers folded.

We'll be collecting them in a minute. Thank you.

Oh, Rochelle, which one did you do? B2.

How did it go? I don't know.

It wasn't clear if they wanted you to refer

just to the UK or internationally. No, it isn't clear.

So, I complained about the question. Good for you.

So, when are you off? Saturday.

Well, I'd start with the Old Town, the Market Square,

the Groeninge Museum, that's a must.

Belfry.

Canal.

Oh, there's a really nice waffle stand down by the cathedral.

Concertgebouw. That's where the concert is.

Yeah, and what's the programme? Faure Requiem.

You did put that on your personal statement, didn't you?

The college would have lapped that up.

You know, I remember the first time we went in here,

they were playing...

'The funeral of twenty-year-old Daniel Johnson

'was held earlier this afternoon amid rising tension in East London.

'Anna Foster has been following this story, she joins us now.

'First, remind us of the background, Anna.

'Well, Peter, this all began in tragedy last week, of course,

'when 20 year-old Daniel Johnson,

'was chased by a group of youths and stabbed to death,

'just yards from the primary school he attended as a child.

'Today's...'

'expected to make a formal statement later today,

'but there is speculation that Mr Johnson may have been

'the innocent victim of a turf war between local drug dealers

'and a rival gang of Somalian youths,

'who were seen in the area on the night of the attack.

'Now, community leaders have been appealing for calm,

'since news emerged that police have made arrests

'on the nearby Marlowe Estate,

'which has a large number of Somali residents.'

'Thank you, Anna.

'Later in the programme, I will speak to Nick Herbert,

'the minister responsible for policing and criminal justice...'

Going to Oxford, Chelle? Well, it depends on the exams.

What you got to get, Chelle? Three A stars.

Ah, you'll be all right, won't you, Chelle? You'll walk it.

Is Abigail going to Oxford? I don't know.

Excuse me! I think you dropped something.

There's a bin just there. Hello? Chelle, man's telling you off.

Look, I'm just asking you politely.

Sorry, what?

How hard is it to put it in a bin?

Put what? That.

The bin couldn't be nearer. So, you do it then, mister. Eh?

You got a problem with that, Nik? No.

You got a problem, Chelle? Not really.

Look, there's a man, comes from Hungary, every day,

with his cart and broom, he makes the place spotless. Whatever.

By the time you girls have come out, it's all messy again.

Maybe if it wasn't for us, he wouldn't even have a job, would he?

You know what, you're selfish!

And get a life, man, you fucking loser.

To top it all, she was abusive, the ringleader, I suppose.

She called me stuff, er, names.

Well, strictly speaking,

our jurisdiction stops at the school gates,

but we take any antisocial behaviour seriously.

That's her, I think.

Rochelle Gooding.

OK, I'll have a word with her.

'Yeah, yeah, this is RIP FM, uncensored pirate radio.

'DJ Spinkin tellin' it like it is.

'A lot of tears on the Lakemead today.

'Nuff love for my fallen soldier. Shout out the LMT.

'This one's for Danny Johnson, you know what you got to do.'

There's no way you need to worry about yours. No, Abby, seriously,

I could have written more, I must have missed something.

Now, you're obsessing

It's a key point, that's five marks,

it could be the difference between a whole grade.

Heads Oxford. Tails Belfast. Belfast?

Yeah, I put it as my second. Eew.

No, I went with my mum last year. It's all right, not what you think.

Far enough from this place, I suppose.

Got to be a plus.

They had a horse and carriage.

You see it?

All these black Mercedes down Clapton Road.

Kind of creepy.

Oh, Christ. Here they come.

Men In Black. Men at Primark, more like.

"We're going in tonight, yeah.

"Meeting down Firefly and going after them, yeah.

"One for Danny, yeah."

So, what's happening? They're going out to get revenge for Danny?

That's what I heard.

They're going to go look for Somalis, down at the Marlowe.

He wanted nothing to do with them. PHONE RINGS

Number withheld. Ain't you going to answer it?

Hello? 'Hello, Rochelle? It's Mr Patel at the school.'

Mr Patel? What's he want?

'There's something I need to talk to you about.

'I'd rather not do it over the phone.

'Any chance you could come into my office?'

Now? 'Yes, now, if you don't mind.'

That was some turn out yesterday, wasn't it?

Sorry, I keep thinking you're Lakemead.

Kid called Danny Johnson got stabbed last week

by a gang of Somalis.

I can't remember how many times, it's in the report somewhere.

He wasn't even in a gang.

Just looked at a girl.

In Nando's.

For a split second.

And now, he'll never know if he passed his exams.

Or got that trial at QPR. Orient.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

You sure you're not a Lakemead boy? No.

No, nothing to be ashamed of.

I never said I was Lakemead. It's good cos I think you saw what happened.

And I think you might know why these two people got attacked.

But if you don't, I bet you know someone else on Lakemead who does.

Any ideas?

So, who was it?

This is a serious allegation.

One of the girls was very abusive.

I've just got back from Danny's funeral.

Got the Gazette phoning me in half an hour.

Was it Nikki Adams?

Dakota Kelly?

You had nothing to do with it? No.

Well. Yes or no?

I may have said something. What?

Something about litter being good for creating jobs.

It was meant to be a joke. Not very funny.

No.

I'll have to suspend all of you.

I'm really sorry, but I've got to do this across the board,

I've got to be seen to be fair.

One-day suspension, Rochelle. Monday.

I-I'm not here on Monday.

I've got the choir trip this weekend and then, I'm finished.

Right, then it will have to be the choir trip.

No! No, please! It's a real pity, cos you know,

you're one of the school's few representatives No! That's not fair!

Look, I can't lay down one law for the others and one for you.

Rochelle.

Just park this to one side for the minute.

The important thing is that you focus on your exams tomorrow.

We're counting on you for the good news.

I've been suspended.

'Oh, here we go again.' Look, will you let me finish?

'Kung Fu Panda, yeah, Kung Fu Panda.'

What?

'Screen seven. Can I have your ticket, please?' Hello?

'I said, don't call me at work.' Listen, I can't come.

'Oh, you do my head in. Oh, my God, how long have we been waiting?

'This was our one chance.'

They won't let me come. 'You mean, you don't want to come.'

Can I help? You're the man, aren't you?

Sorry? You phoned the school this afternoon.

You live at Sunny Park Road.

Oh, look, all I was doing... Well, thanks.

What? I got suspended.

Ah! Chelle!

Yo, Chelle! What's going on?

'And the Chancellor is expected to privatise...' I'm sorry.

I've got to... I'm a bit... 'parts of Northern Rock.'

'Retail operations from their investment arms...'

Who is he? Some guy.

Why weren't you at the funeral? Had an exam.

Yeah, we all did. Missing a poxy exam isn't important.

Look, they're all meeting up at Mrs J's now, so you know you've...

Yeah, I know.

He just phoned.

He says I can't go on the trip.

I don't need this, not today. Have you got a Plus Card? No.

All I said was... Why get involved? Why get sucked in? Cash back?

No, thanks.

Can you just talk to Miss Preston about the trip?

Is that what you're worried about?

Could you do this somewhere else? We're going to blow this.

I am not going to blow it. Well, how did it go, today?

Oh, God.

I think it was all right. Well, what does "huh" mean?

It's me that's trying to get into Oxford.
