The first 200 lines.
This is Officer ST-104.
I'm in pursuit of a female suspect
in possession of New Aurum
heading north, Greek Street, Old London.
I've got eyes on her.
Got her!
Oh!
It's a loss, loss, loss.
Request urgent assistance.
This is AH-107. Show me responding.
This is AH-107.
Got her.
Stealing New Aurum?
Fuck you.
Not if you paid me.
Right, you take this... suspect
and I'll bring the evidence.
All secure on Level 4.
Good collar.
She's been on the run for months.
Cyber-crimes, data theft.
- Illegal possession of New Aurum. - Exactly.
And just to let you know
I've written you up for a commendation.
Thanks, sir. I really appreciate that.
Code 596. Code 596.
It's OK. Clock off early.
Relax, celebrate. That's an order.
Come on!
Woo!
You get checked by the medic?
I'm fine. She barely caught me.
She really caught you. You barely caught her.
And that's why I'm the one getting the shiny new medal.
- Hey, gaffer. - Hey.
- You made it. - Yeah.
- You've started. Good. - Well...
Right, more drinks.
More drinks! Come on.
Woo!
One for the road?
Yeah, go on.
Why not? No hurry to get home.
Well, tell that to Harper. Can't wait to get away from us.
I've not decided anything yet, Sarge.
Just a posting's come up, Eastern District.
- And you're tempted? - Yeah.
Well, I'll be sorry to lose you from the team.
I don't know, sir. Shanghai?
It's not so far away.
I know, it's just...
I don't know if I want to leave my mum.
Harper, this has to be your decision.
- It's about living your life... - Stay where you are.
Sarge?
- What's this? Is this a joke? - What's going on?
Ash Harper, you're under arrest.
Category One offence, theft of New Aurum.
No.
No, I didn't. What the hell are you talking about?
- Don't move! - Sir, tell them!
No!
No! Stop!
Get her up.
Move.
Ma'am, there's something you need to see.
Mum...
I know.
- I know, but that's not me. - But it is you.
No, no, someone has done this to me.
- Hacked into the system. - That's impossible.
The security cameras are fully encrypted.
There have been no successful security breaches.
I don't know how they've done it, Mum, but they have.
I've been set up.
Why would someone want to set you up?
I don't know.
You have to help me.
I didn't do it.
Tell me.
Tell me exactly what they have told you.
Nothing.
Do they have any witnesses, any other evidence besides...
They don't need anything else, Mum. You know that.
That's enough to charge me.
Fuck.
Fuck, Mum.
- They'll ship me off. - No.
You know what those prison colonies are like.
- No one ever comes back... - Ash.
I can't bear it... You on your own.
First Dad, now me.
I can't, I can't, I can't leave you.
Nothing's going to happen to you.
It won't come to that. I will not allow it.
This is a mistake
and I will do everything I can to fix it.
I request my daughter's immediate release
pending an investigation. Clearly, she has been framed.
The evidence suggests otherwise.
As you're aware
the theft of New Aurum is a Category One.
The procedures are quite clear.
Owing to the severity of her crime
your daughter is permitted to be transferred
held in pre-trial detention.
You don't need to tell me that. I wrote the legislation.
It's for terrorists
enemies of the state, hardened criminals.
For justice to function
the rule of law must be applied equally.
No. No, this is not justice. You need to understand.
Her record's impeccable.
She's one of the highest-scoring recruits
ever seen in the Academy.
For anyone to believe that she would commit such a crime
with her whole life ahead of her...
Sir, we both know what this means.
She's a police officer.
She won't even survive long enough to make a trial.
I'm so sorry.
No. I know my daughter.
I know she didn't do this.
Ash Harper, Prisoner 99723
you've been remanded on pre-trial custody...
indeterminate length.
Off planet.
No.
No. No! I didn't fucking do this!
This is Dr Lee, Commonworld Director.
You have been deemed traitors
to the collective values of the Commonworld.
Your violations and crimes run contrary
to the peace and well-being of our global community
undermining our environmental integrity
and our societal cohesion.
As such, you are no longer permitted
to enjoy the privileges of Commonworld citizens.
You are now being exiled
to a detention facility on Valdavian
under the auspices of the Commonworld Security Council
Executive Order 725-A.
This pod will now transport you to your prison ship
where transfer will begin.
Ten, nine
eight, seven
six, five
four, three
two, one
zero.
Let's move!
Go. Move it.
Stop here. Eyes forward.
- In a line, move. - Move along, move along.
- Come on, shift yourself. - Rozzer. Fed.
Filth. Pig.
Still, don't matter what they call you, does it
when they shank you up.
I don't want any trouble.
There will be trouble.
Oh...
Meow.
Oi, Tula.
What?
I've heard there's a cop in here.
Clever. Smoke and mirrors.
- Not literally, obviously. - I don't understand.
They've used a beam combiner with a time reversal
matched the wavelengths.
It's incredible. I've never seen this before.
- Do you want this today, ma'am? - I want it now.
Absolute proof that this image has been faked.
More than faked. It's a pro job.
Almost perfect, but there, look.
They haven't quite equalised the input, see?
Guess this is what you're after, then.
That bastard.
Screw, you have to let me go toilet.
I'm desperate.
Screw, I know you can hear me.
I'm gonna wet myself and nobody wants that.
- I can't, alright? - Why?
It's against the regs. Not during meal service.
What you looking at, bitch?
What, you wanna give me a hand with this? Hmm?
Screw, listen.
I have got a urinary tract infection, alright?
Do you know what that feels like?
It feels like a thousand tiny hot needles
- going straight up... - No!
Alright, whatever, OK.
Excuse me. Can I have a word?
Excuse me, can I have a word?
What? What is it?
I think there's been a security breach.
What's she saying?
Lockdown. Lockdown.
What we doing?
Everybody down on the ground
with your hands behind your head.
