The Bay

Hey.

Hey.

Coffee?

Yeah, yeah. Ta.

Thanks.

So, erm...

I've been thinking...

Maybe we should get a place of our own.

Me and the kids.

Why?

It's not working out, is it?

Everyone living on top of each other.

I mean, maybe it'd be better all round if we had more space.

Better for them, better for us.

Yeah, whatever you want.

Yeah, erm... Yeah, I was just looking at some places online.

So, you've decided, have you? Weren't even going to discuss it?

We are discussing it. Oh, are we? Oh, is that what...?

I'm just having a look, making a start.

OK.

Are you kidding? Are you moving us again?

Maddie... We going back to Manchester?

No, we're just looking at our options, seeing what's out there.

Why, though? Because it's not working out brilliantly,

everyone fighting all the time.

Are you guys splitting up?

No. No, of course not. That... That's not what I'm saying.

So, what? We're moving out, but we're staying here.

What's the point of that? Did you agree to this?

No, it's... It's just something that...

It's not decided, it's just something we're discussing.

Look, we're not going to rush into anything,

we want to do what's best for everyone,

so just talk about it, yeah?

We'll sit down and talk about it like grown-ups.

We're not grown-ups. You know what I mean.

Don't you have to go to work?

We'll talk later, yeah? I love you both.

What's going on?

'The Bay' by Samuel Sim.

Oh, you're looking very smart.

Oh, yeah, I'm going to a thing. Family thing.

Heading off after the briefing.

Well, you scrub up very well, I'll give you that.

Ta. Yeah. Shall... Shall we?

Yeah. We finally managed to get hold of Shirin Persaud.

Uniform are bringing her in this morning.

Oh, and, er, Jenn, Karen, the lads who attacked Jamal have been ID'd.

Ed?

Jordan Rooney's mates, Damien Harrington and Tyler Quinn.

Will you let the family know we've made arrests?

Boss. Anything further on Adnan?

Due in Crown Court next Tuesday. We should have a trial date then.

And we have no leads on the car with the white stripe, yet.

We've also been looking into the blood on the phone.

Obviously, we don't want to jump to conclusions,

but it is possible this is the assailant's blood.

Unfortunately, it doesn't match anybody on the database.

Is mass testing an option?

"We don't have the resources for that."

Yeah, now you're getting it. Welcome to Morecambe.

Morning.

Eat up before it gets cold.

Thank you. Yeah, well, don't get used to it.

I'll be back at the restaurant from tomorrow.

You'll have to get your own breakfast.

Just to be clear, you're not under arrest.

You're just here to help us with our enquiries.

I've already told you everything I know.

I know. I know you've already made a statement,

but we're just going back through everything.

I just wanted to talk to you about that night, the night Saif died,

because you were the last one to see him.

You, er, you saw him leave.

He went out the back way, is that right?

Yeah. Was there anyone else around?

No. Er, he was the last. I was just locking up.

So, you were on your own with him? Yeah, so?

And did that often happen? You being alone with him at the gym.

There was nothing going on if that's what you mean.

No, I'm not saying anything.

It wasn't like that. I've got a boyfriend.

I'm, I'm with Ritchie.

Shirin, I'm... I'm not... I'm not trying to pry.

I'm not trying to suggest anything untoward.

Yeah, well, don't.

Hi, Mariam.

I suppose you want to come in?

It's called a plea and directions hearing.

It's just the first stage in the process,

but it should give us a date for Adnan's trial.

And let us know if he'll be released on bail.

I have to tell you, though, that's unlikely,

given how serious the charges are.

I'm sorry.

No, it's OK.

Jamal, the boys who beat you up, we've arrested two people.

Can't say their names, but we'll keep you updated.

Are you OK?

Thanks.

Rule number one as a FLO, always have tissues.

I can't believe it's come to this.

One boy dead, another in jail.

The whole family's falling apart.

Have you seen Kareem, talked to him?

It's over.

That's why I'm here.

20 years we were together.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

It depends what happens with the case, the match fixing.

I just know I can't stay here getting under Mariam's feet.

She doesn't want me here. I don't want me here.

So, erm, we'll sell up, I suppose.

Split the money, what little there is of it.

Find somewhere else, a place of my own.

I used to think she chucked her life away, Mariam.

Bringing up those boys, slaving away in that restaurant.

I used to look down on her.

But she had it sorted, really.

Truth is I was jealous.

We had nothing compared to her.

Am I interrupting? No. No, it's fine.

You said if there's anything you can do to help?

Yeah, of course. Well, there is something.

They say the boxing club's closing down,

they're turfing everything out.

Only, they've got some of Saif's things.

Some trophies and medals and stuff.

Is there any chance you could pick em up?

I could do it. I'm going into town anyway.

No. You've done enough. Yeah, I'd be happy to.

It's just stuff with sentimental value for the family.

I mean, if you were gonna throw it away anyway...

Yeah, there, there you go.

It's, er, well, it's no good to me now,

so, you know, help yourself.

Thanks.

I started going through it, but, er, I couldn't.

Er, yeah.

I didn't know Ritchie was such a star?

Wouldn't say that.

He had promise, you know, but he didn't have the edge.

Not like Saif. He brought that on himself, I suppose.

It was Ritchie that brought Saif along to the club

in the first place.

And how did he feel about Saif taking the spotlight?

No problem, they were mates. Sparring partners.

Well, they used to be. How do you mean?

We had to drop Ritchie in the end, you know?

With the big fight coming up in Salford,

we needed guys who were more of a match for Saif.

He's a good lad, Ritchie, but he just didn't have what it takes.

Hey, can you do me a favour?

Yeah, of course. Can you run a check on Ritchie's alibi

for the night of Saif's murder?

His dad and brother vouched for him,

but can you just double-check they were with him all night? Yeah.

Cheers, Eddie. Hey, how did it go with Shirin?

Yeah, OK. I mean, she hasn't told us anything we didn't already know.

But, I don't know, erm... she got a bit touchy.

How do you mean?

I just tried to find out

if there was anything going on between her and Saif.

'But she got really defensive, so I...

'I've just given her a few minutes' break. I'll head back in a bit.'

OK. Thanks, Eddie.

That's it, big smiles.

Come on, Ellen. You can do better than that.

Right, ready? Three, two, one.

Tony, hiya. Paul.

Dad! Hey!

Hey, Charlie.

All right? Dad, this is Soo-Yun.

Hi, nice to meet you. And you.

Jamal, I...

Thanks for coming.

Oh, come on, like I was gonna miss it.

Are you coming to the thing later? Hopefully, yeah.

Kieran? Go on. Enjoy your big day.

They're letting us in row-by-row. What row are you in, Tony?

Oh, erm, I didn't know we had to book seats.

Bloody hell, Tony!

It's all right. I'll just stand at the back. It's fine.

Sorry.

Yeah. Boss, really sorry to interrupt.

No, it's fine. What's up?

It's about Ritchie from the boxing club.

He lied to us about being Saif's sparring partner.

'They had more of a rivalry than he's been letting on.'

Doesn't he have an alibi, though?

Yeah, Eddie double-checked with his dad and brother,

but they didn't have eyes on him all night.

They're vague about times.

OK, well, let's get him in. I'll see you back at the station.

Don't you have a thing, though? No, no, it's fine. It's, erm...

It's wrapping up here. I'm on my way.

Sorry. Erm, I'm gonna have to scoot.

Tony! No, it's work.

Come on, let's go in. All right.
