The Tower

'Attention all units.

'Portland Tower has been declared a critical incident.

'Two confirmed fatalities.

'One teenage girl. One police officer.'

What happened, did you hear?

Just what Control was reporting -

there were people on the roof, then there weren't.

'Control receiving DI Shaw at Portland Tower.

'We have a death in contact with police. Where the hell is DSI?'

DSI 14 to Control, we are arriving on scene.

'Copy.'

There are still people up there.

I'll go to the roof.

Police, step out of the way, please.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

This is a crime scene, you can't come through here.

Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins,

Directorate of Special Investigations,

we're taking over the scene.

My colleague DC Steve Bradshaw... I've got it, Sarah. Go.

'Hey.' Steve, get someone on the lobby door.

Until I know what's happening on the roof, no-one's to move, up or down.

'OK, we're a bit short-handed...' Recall to duty the whole team.

'Got it.'

Who the hell are you?

Sarah Collins, sir, DSI. You radioed for us.

Yeah.

I have to ask what you're doing up here.

One of my officers is dead,

the other one just saved this child's life.

I'm here to make sure no-one else falls off the fucking roof.

It's going to be OK, Lizzie.

We're gonna get you both down now OK?

Have you traced the boy's family? Yeah, his mum's on the way.

Control receiving DS Collins, DSI.

I am assuming operational control at Portland Tower.

Request LAS for adult female, believed going into shock.

'Copy that, LAS units en route.' Lizzie.

I'm Sarah Collins.

Paramedics are on their way.

No, no, no. Just wait there. Sorry.

Ben, Ben, Ben.

Did she do anything to him? We don't know exactly what happened.

We have a doctor here who can examine... No, I'm taking him home.

Let me send a Family Liaison Officer with...

I'm taking him home, I don't want police or anyone.

I'm afraid we will need to speak to you.

Please, I just want to go home.

What happened here, Steve?

All I've got so far is the girl grabbed the boy from his home.

Took him to the top of the tower. Two cops got the call,

tried to stop her doing whatever she was going to do.

The result - the girl fell to her death, so did one of the cops.

OK... Put Jez on CCTV.

You take the door-to-door, grab any phone footage you can

before it's all over the internet, plus any BWV footage.

And get the phones of the officers.

Who's our Family Liaison? Alice Parker?

Ask her to meet me here. I'll talk to the CSM,

then head to the local nick. Farlow, isn't it?

Seal lockers, grab a spare office.

We need statements, especially that female PC.

If she was up there. She saw.

Lizzie?

It is Lizzie, isn't it?

Steve Bradshaw, DSI.

How are you feeling?

Fine. We've just got some checks to do before you go.

OK. I'll pop back in a few minutes.

All right? Guv.

Crime scene guys are gonna need to take your uniform.

They'll give you something to wear.

I want to go home.

Let's wait and see what the medics say, OK?

But when they're done. It's not my call.

DSI are running this case now.

Why?

It's a death in contact with police, Lizzie.

The girl's dead, Hadley's dead.

DSI run the investigation, no choice.

I want to go home.

OK.

Sarah. Sir.

This is a mess.

I'd better feed that lot. Anything specific you want out there?

Witnesses. Otherwise, as little as possible.

We're still informing the families of the deceased.

Police Constable Hadley Matthews, 52.

Farah Mehenni, 15.

Did you know Farah's father, Younes, is in custody at the local nick?

Some minor charge. I didn't know. Sorry.

Like I said, a mess.

We'll get a Family Liaison over there, get him released ASAP.

I'm going to the nick. I'll do it. Good.

In the meantime, I'll do as you say

and tell the press absolutely nothing.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Do you want me to come in? Make you a cup of tea?

I don't think you should be alone.

I'm fine, Arif, honestly.

Excuse me, where's your custody sergeant, please?

He's just over there. Thank you.

Sarah Collins, DSI. Alice Parker.

You have a Younes Mehenni in custody.

I'd like to bail him on compassionate grounds.

We'll be basing our investigation here at first,

so if someone could show Alice a spare office, I'd be grateful.

Also, Alice will need to seal PC Adama and PC Matthews' lockers.

They're part of the investigation.

You've got a fucking nerve...

I know you've lost a colleague... a friend.

I'm truly sorry about that.

But it's my job to find out why he died.

We're not the ghost squad, we're not here to dig up dirt,

we just want to find out what happened.

So, please... bear with us.

Help us.

That's very reassuring, thank you, Sarah.

Jenny, could you help Alice?

Mr Mehenni, I'm Sarah Collins,

from the Directorate of Special Investigations.

I'm afraid I have terrible news. Your daughter Farah.

We haven't got all the details yet, but...

Yes?

I'm afraid she died.

I'm so sorry.

We're releasing you so you can be with your family, there's a car...

Died? No... No, she's at school.

Mr Mehenni, there are procedures we have to follow. I don't believe you.

I want to speak to my daughter.

I'm so sorry.

Hadley Matthews is dead, too, you know.

Have you told his wife and kids yet? You had a good cry with them?

Can I see the custody sheet?

Thanks.

'Hey, Lizzie. It's Steve Bradshaw, from the ambulance, remember?

'We need to do a quick debrief, get your statement.

'I just want to know you're OK.

'My number's on your mobile.'

Steve? You with Lizzie Adama?

No. I just found out she went home, soon as the medics released her.

Before you could talk to her? 'Afraid so. Police car took her.'

Who the hell authorised that? Her guvnor, DI Shaw.

'Why'd you ask?' Because we might have a shit storm here.

Hang on a sec.

Excuse me. Sarah Collins, DSI. An office has been set up for us?

Oh, yeah, that way, second door on the right. Thanks.

'Lizzie!'

It's Steve.

So, what's the shit storm, then?

Younes Mehenni, the dead girl's father,

was in custody at Farlow nick, and Lizzie Adama...

Oh, for Pete's sake.

What? 'Nothing.'

Lizzie Adama was Mehenni's arresting officer.

Look, I'm at her place now.

OK. Well, don't let her out of your sight.

'Lizzie? It's Steve. Lizzie, can you open the door, please?'

She's not answering the door.

Kick it down.

What? Just do it, Steve. Get in there.

Lizzie?

Are you OK? It's Steve.

She's gone.

Today was a bad day.

We've all lost someone we loved. He was the heart of this place.

He looked out for me when I was a young copper.

Kid from Kintyre, still very wet behind the ears.

And I know he looked out for many of you, too.

Cos that's who he was, that's who we lost.

Now I'm going to have to take his wife, Mandy, to ID his body.

We may all be grieving in this room,

but her whole world is broken, her and her kids.

We owe it to her to keep on going, to keep doing our job.

That's what Hadley would have wanted, it's what he would've done.

What about DSI, sir?

DSI have a job to Do, too.

You got nothing to hide.

You just answer their questions and they'll be gone.

On Friday night, we go to the pub.

We remember our friend.

We celebrate him. OK?

I'm sorry, Sarah. This is on me. It's OK.

Any idea where she's gone? Not yet.

Her car's still parked down the street.

Her phone's switched off. We put a watch on her cards.

What do we know about her? Six months in, well-liked.

From what I hear, she and Hadley Matthews,

the copper who died, they were mates.

God. You talk to her family, friends?

We called round, no-one's heard from her.

Graduation day. Takes you back, doesn't it?

My parents didn't come to mine.

What, disappointed you became a cop?

The disappointment went a little further back than that.

Hey, Jez. Could someone have grabbed her?

I don't think so.

Looks like she took toothbrush and make-up and stuff.

We have to find her - CCTV, door-to-door, whatever.

Quicker to go public. Yeah.
