ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE WHICH MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL AUDIENCES.

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

[CONVERSATIONS IN FRENCH] CHUKS: THE LABS WERE ABLE TO GET BACK THE DATA FROM BEAUMONT'S LAPTOP.

AND LOOK WHAT THEY FOUND-- TT's FIRST VICTIM ON BEAUMONT'S COMPUTER.

BRING HIM IN.

[SPEAKING FRENCH] HELP YOURSELF.

UH-HUH.

SO HOW'S IT GOING WITH ELISE?

HOW IS WHAT GOING WITH ELISE?

WORKING TOGETHER.

WORKING FINE TOGETHER.

MMM.

TA.

IS SHE SINGLE?

TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING.

WELL, SHE'S NEARER MY AGE THAN YOURS.

I'M NOT ASKING IF SHE'S SINGLE.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I'M SEEING HER IN A MINUTE.

I'LL TELL HER SHE'S GOT AN ADMIRER.

TIDY YOUR ROOM.

SIS.

SIS.

THERE'S A RED GOLF IN THE CAR PARK.

KEY'S IN YOUR BAG.

IN THE GLOVE BOX, YOU'LL FIND SOME MONEY TO KEEP YOU GOING.

WHY?

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

TELL ME.

TELL ME.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE POOL AGAIN.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

WE EMPTIED IT EVERY WINTER.

YOU PUSH HIM.

I DREAM IT.

AND EVERY TIME, YOU SHOVE THE BASTARD IN.

HE SMASHED HIS HEAD ON THE BOTTOM... AND LOOKED UP AT ME.

TELL ME ABOUT THE EXPRESSION IN HIS EYES.

DEFEAT.

HE'D LOST.

WE'D WON.

IT'S WHAT I CAME TO TELL YOU.

AFTER EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED, IT'S ALL GOING TO BE OK. NOBODY CAN HURT YOU NOW.

[WOMAN SINGING IN FRENCH] ♪ YES, YOU SHALL BE MINE ♪ ♪ TILL THE END OF TIME ♪ WHERE IS STEPHEN BEAUMONT?

WE'LL HAVE HIM SOON.

KARL: THE EVIDENCE REMAINS CIRCUMSTANTIAL, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM.

CHUKS: HEY, LISTEN UP, GUYS.

UNIFORMS WERE SENT TO SUZE'S FLAT.

NOBODY ANSWERED THE DOOR, AND THE NEIGHBORS SAY THEY HADN'T SEEN HER.

BECAUSE SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL.

BUT THERE WAS SOME NOISE COMING FROM THERE THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST-- SOME KIND OF FIGHT OR STRUGGLE GOING ON.

[SEAGULLS CAWING] VERY TIDY.

CAN'T EXACTLY HAVE BEEN RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE.

SOMEBODY'S BEEN CLEANING UP.

SO EITHER THERE WAS NO FIGHT OR IT GOT MUCH MORE SERIOUS.

THIS PICTURE WASN'T HERE LAST TIME.

YES, IT WAS.

I SAW IT.

NO.

WHEN YOU SAW IT, IT WAS HANGING OVER THERE.

OH.

STAY THERE.

WE COULD HAVE A CRIME SCENE.

ANTHONY WALSH-- THE PIMP.

BIN MEN JUST FOUND HIS BODY.

HE HAS HIS HEAD QUITE SERIOUSLY REARRANGED.

GET FORENSICS DOWN HERE.

WE MAY HAVE JUST MOVED BEYOND THE CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

[CELL PHONE RINGS] KARL: YES?

RIGHT.

WHAT TIME D-- CHRIST.

POSSIBLE SIGHTING OF STEPHEN BEAUMONT ON A FERRY IN DOVER.

WE'LL GET DOWN THERE.

GET CONFIRMATION FROM BORDER CONTROL.

KARL: SHOULD WE STOP IT LEAVING?

ELISE: NO.

IT WOULD ALERT HIM.

POLICE.

WE GET ON, THEN.

WE HAVE CALAIS PROVIDE ARMED RESPONSE UNITS AT THE OTHER END.

WOMAN ON P.A.

: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT.

[MAN SPEAKING FRENCH OVER P.A.]

WOMAN ON TV: POLICE ARE APPEALING FOR HELP IN FINDING A MAN THEY WANT TO QUESTION OVER A MURDER IN FOLKESTONE OVERNIGHT.

POLICE SAY STEPHEN BEAUMONT SHOULD NOT BE APPROACHED AND IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS.

HE'S DESCRIBED AS... [CONTINUES, INDISTINCT] KARL: HEY.

HEY!

HEY!

[PASSENGERS GASPING] OH!

ALL RIGHT?

ELISE: YOU NEED TO TALK TO US.

ABOUT WHAT?

GEMMA KIRWAN, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

AMONG OTHER THINGS?

YOU THINK I'M THE PERSON THAT KILLED GEMMA?

ELISE: WHY IS HER PHOTO ON YOUR COMPUTER?

I KEEP RECORDS OF THE PEOPLE I HELP.

LIKE ANTHONY WALSH?

HE WAS JUST TRYING TO DESTROY MY WORK.

HE WAS DOING THE SAME TO HER.

TO WHO?

MY SISTER.

SHE WAS SLIPPING AWAY FROM ME AGAIN.

PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM, STEPHEN.

I'M ARRESTING YOU ON SUSPICION-- [KNIFE DROPS] [NO AUDIO] [RINGTONE] DANNY.

TT: I HAVE SOMETHING FOR TOMORROW'S FRONT PAGE.

DANNY: AH.

WELL, THAT'S VERY GENEROUS OF YOU.

TT: IT MUST BE FRONT PAGE.

AH.

THAT'S NOT REALLY, UH, MY CALL.

BESIDES, IT'S STILL EARLY.

IT DOESN'T DO TO PLAN TOO FAR AHEAD-- NOT WHEN YOU WORK IN, UH, NEWS, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

TT: WE HOLD THE YOUNG IN CONTEMPT.

OH, IS THAT RIGHT?

[WHISPERS] Jonno!

TT: A QUARTER OF ALL THOSE ARRESTED IN THE U.K. LAST YEAR WERE UNDER 18.

AW.

HARD-DONE BY HOODIES.

MY HEART BLEEDS.

TT: ARE YOU AT YOUR DESK?

UH, I MIGHT BE.

TT: SOCIETY TURNS ITS BACK ON THE YOUNG.

MAKES THEM INVISIBLE.

YOU WILL PUT THE ONES I HAVE SELECTED ON TOMORROW'S FRONT PAGE WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE THEM.

[BEEP BEEP BEEP] KARL: TT POSTED HIS FOURTH TRUTH AS STEPHEN BEAUMONT'S LIFE WAS SLIPPING AWAY ON THE FERRY.

CECILE: WHO WAS HE, REALLY?

KARL: JUST ANOTHER SAD GUY WHO THOUGHT HE COULD CHANGE THE WORLD.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING] CECILE: AND THE BURNING?

ELISE: TT's CALLING THIS TRUTH THE YOUTH OF TODAY.

HE IS HIGHLIGHTING THE WAY THE YOUTH IS TREATED OR MISTREATED BY THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

WOMAN ON TV: HE WAS TRYING TO SORT HIMSELF OUT, TRYING TO GET QUALIFIED, TRYING TO GET A JOB, TRYING TO GET ON.

IT'S JUST-- IT'S JUST SO HARD, YOU KNOW?

HE SAID...

HE SAID, "I LOVE YOU, MUM," AND HE WAS OUT THE DOOR.

THAT'S THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM.

KARL: DEAN ATKINSON, 19.

DID TWO YEARS FOR HIS PART IN THE LONDON RIOT.

MAN: QUITE UNLIKE ANY BURNS WE'VE COME ACROSS.

WE OCCASIONALLY GET THEM AS WIDESPREAD BUT NEVER THIS CORROSIVE.

THE CHEMICAL USED-- WHITE PHOSPHORUS, WE THINK-- IT'S TAKEN OFF 90% OF THE SKIN.

THE BURNS ARE AT THEIR MOST INTENSE HERE AND HERE.

COULD WELL HAVE BEEN STUFFED IN HIS POCKETS.

WHERE ARE HIS CLOTHES NOW?

THAT'S WHAT I MEANT BY CORROSIVE.

APART FROM HIS SHOES AND THE ODD STRAND OF FABRIC, HE WAS LIKE THIS WHEN HE CAME IN.

HOW DID THE PHOSPHORUS CATCH FIRE?

AIR.

IT TAKES A GOOD FEW MINUTES, BUT WHITE PHOSPHORUS COMBUSTS ON EXPOSURE TO OXYGEN, BECOMING SOMETHING FAR NASTIER-- SOMETHING CALLED PHOSPHORUS PENTOXIDE.

THE FAMILY BEEN IN?

HIS MOTHER'S BEEN ASKING.

SHE CAN'T SEE THIS.

SHE HAS THE RIGHT.

SHE DOES, AND WE HAVE TO PREVENT HER FROM EXERCISING IT.

[FRENCH RAP MUSIC PLAYING] [SLIDING DOOR CLOSES] [DOOR OPENS] 3 MORE BURNINGS, ALL MALE YOUTH, ALL CONVICTED RIOTERS.

ELISE: ALL BURNT IN PUBLIC PLACES AND DEAD WITHIN SECONDS.

KARL: PUBLIC PLACES ISN'T THE HALF OF IT.

THESE ARE CCTV HOTSPOTS.

HE'S AFTER MAXIMUM VISIBILITY.

THEY'RE GOING UP LIKE MORAL BEACONS.

CHUKS: WHITE PHOSPHORUS AGAIN?

ELISE: IN THE FIRST TWO.

THE LAB IS STILL CHECKING ON THE THIRD.

WHY ISN'T THE WEBSITE UP?

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL DAY?

HERE WE GO.

YES.

POLICE BEATINGS, WRONGFULLY ARRESTED...

DISPROPORTIONATE SENTENCING.

OH, WHAT'S THIS?

SO THESE ARE THE POSTER BOYS FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.

WHAT NEXT?

NEXT?

HASN'T HE DONE ENOUGH?

KARL: GET UNIFORM TO SEIZE ALL CCTV FOOTAGE AT ALL 4 SITES.

RUN CHECKS ON ALL THE NAMES ON THAT LIST.

WE SHOULD MEET IN CALAIS TOMORROW.

WHY?

THEY'RE ALL BRITISH.

THE POSTER BOYS ARE FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE CHANNEL.

WHY SHOW FRENCH YOUTHS IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO BURN BRITISH?

I'LL ASK CECILE TO SPEND THE NIGHT RESEARCHING THE ONES FROM OUR SIDE.

DANNY: I'M OFF FOR A DRINK.

OH, I CAN'T TONIGHT, MATE.

SORRY.

OH, DON'T PANIC, MATE.

I'M TELLING YOU, NOT INVITING YOU.

I, UH, EMAILED THROUGH THE FINAL COPY.

THE STORY WAS THE BURNING YOUTHS.

NAH.

SEE, EVERYONE'S RUNNING WITH THAT.

FOR US, THE STORY IS HOW TT TRIED TO TELL US WHAT TO DO AND HOW WE REFUSED.

KEEP UP, JONNO, MATE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE ELISE?

WHAT?

WHEN YOU WENT BACK TO CHARLOTTE JOUBERT'S HOUSE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE ELISE?

BECAUSE CHARLOTTE ASKED FOR ME.

OH.

SHE ASKED FOR YOU?

ANYWAY, YOU SAW YOURSELF ELISE CAN BE A BIT CLUMSY AROUND PEOPLE.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

SORRY?

IS IT BECAUSE CHARLOTTE ASKED FOR YOU OR BECAUSE ELISE CAN BE CLUMSY AROUND PEOPLE?

OR ARE YOU JUST THROWING EXCUSES MY WAY, HOPING ONE WILL STICK?

DID YOU SLEEP WITH HER?

OH... GOD.

OH, GOD.

[CRYING] I'M PREGNANT!

[WHISPERS] I'm sorry.

Get out.

[BELL ON DOOR JINGLES] [DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE] [SPEAKING FRENCH] UH!

OK. OK. [SIREN] OK?

OK?

[MUFFLED SHOUTING] [TURNS ON ENGINE] RIGHT, YOU BASTARD.

WHERE ARE YOU?

[RINGS] IT'S KARL.

KARL!

SENSITIVE KARL, THE SPORTY INTELLECTUAL.

[BUZZES OPEN] [KNOCK ON DOOR] WASN'T SURE, SO I GOT YOU A CAPPUCCINO.

MAYBE ADAM WILL HAVE ONE.

ADAM?

I SWIPED A TOWEL, IF THAT'S OK. WHAT'S GOING ON?

ADAM STAYED HERE LAST NIGHT.

I'LL BE OUTSIDE.

THIS HAD BETTER BE GOOD.

I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER TO YOU.

SHE'S MY COLLEAGUE.

AND?

YOU'RE MY SON.

I HAVE TO WORK WITH HER EVERY DAY.

IT MAKES THINGS JUST A TINY BIT DIFFICULT.

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT YOU?

OR ARE YOU JEALOUS?

OF WHAT?

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

IT'S ABOUT RESPECT IS WHAT IT IS.

WELL, START SHOWING SOME.

OH, GROW UP.

I DID.

YOU JUST NEVER TOOK ANY NOTICE.

OH...

I'M SO LATE, IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY.

HMM.

LISTEN, THERE'S, UM, COFFEE AND ...

IN THE KITCHEN.

JUST GRAB WHATEVER.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

HMM?

YOU NEVER EVEN ASKED ME MY NAME.

THAT'S INTENTIONAL.

IF I'M NEVER TOLD A NAME, I CAN NEVER BE ACCUSED OF FORGETTING IT.

HUH.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

DO WHAT?

WHATEVER IT WAS YOU WERE DOING TOGETHER.

WHAT WAS IT YOU WERE DOING TOGETHER?

DON'T ANSWER THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ASK ME?

DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH MY SON?

HE'S 18.

I KNOW.

HE'S ENTITLED TO A PRIVATE LIFE.

THAT'S THE SORT OF THING THAT PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE KIDS SAY.

HE'S ENTITLED TO TRY AND KEEP THINGS FROM HIS PARENTS IS WHAT HE'S ENTITLED TO DO, AND ON THIS OCCASION, HE DIDN'T MANAGE IT.

DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH MY SON?

AM I ENTITLED TO A PRIVATE LIFE?

DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH MY SON?

NO.

RIGHT.

[CELL PHONE RINGS] [RING] WHAT?

TT: THE YOUTHS WERE MEANT TO BE FRONT PAGE, BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN.

NO, NO.

I LISTENED.

I JUST DON'T DO REQUESTS.

GO OUTSIDE.

THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO SEE.

TT: HOW WOULD YOU GET TO WORK FROM HERE?

TAKE MY 4-BY-4.

TT: ON AN AVERAGE WAGE.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUS?

WALK IT.

WALK IT.

TT: P4O10.

DANNY: WHAT'S THAT?

A BUS ROUTE OR SOMETHING?

TT: THE CORRECT MOLECULAR FORMULA FOR PHOSPHORUS PENTOXIDE.

FOR WHEN YOU PUT THIS ON TOMORROW'S FRONT PAGE.

AND IT WILL BE FRONT PAGE.

WE JUST HAD A NICE LITTLE CHAT.

HER NAME WAS KELLY.

SHE WAS TRAINING TO BE A JOURNALIST.

SHE WANTED YOUR HELP.

I SHOULD HAVE WARNED HER DANNY DOESN'T DO... KELLY?

REQUESTS.

KELLY!

[SCREAMING] CAPITAINE WASSERMANN.

OUI?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WHATEVER IT WAS.

HE'S CHANGED COUNTRY, CHANGED APPROACH.

SO IS HE MOVING FROM THE OPPRESSED YOUTH TO THE OPPRESSORS?

YEAH.

SAME TRUTH, DIFFERENT ANGLE.

IF TT HAS TAKEN DELGADO, WHY HASN'T HE BURNED HIM?

KARL: GOOD QUESTION.

WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS FROM THE RIOT?

THE CHERFI FAMILY HAS A GROCERY SHOP RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE ESTATE.

MAYBE WE SHOULD GO UP THERE.

IT'S AS GOOD A PLACE AS ANY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

HE ALWAYS TELLS US WHAT HE'S PLANNING.

HE MAKES CALLS, POSTS.

WHY NOT THIS TIME?

MAYBE WE'RE ONE STEP AHEAD.

[CONVERSATION IN FRENCH] SMELLS OF PETROL.

HE'S HANDING DELGADO OVER TO THE KIDS.

[PHILIPPE SPEAKING FRENCH] [DOOR OPENS] KARL: THIS LIST THAT TT HAS... OF ALL THOSE MISTREATED BY THE POLICE, ALLEGEDLY.

DO WE HAVE ONE?

YEAH.

WE CAN REQUEST ONE FROM THE CNDS.

THEY HAVE ALL ALLEGATIONS ON FILE.

IT'S CLASSIFIED, THOUGH, RIGHT?

OF COURSE.

YEAH.

SAME IN THE U.K.

SO?

HE'S SHOWING OFF-- PROVING HE CAN GET ANY INFORMATION HE WANTS, EVEN IF IT IS CLASSIFIED.

SHOWING OFF OR GIVING HIMSELF AWAY?

HOW DID HE GET HOLD OF IT?

[SIRENS] DELGADO: OK. OK. [NO AUDIO] AAH!

RECORDING: HI.

IT'S LAURA.

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE.

KARL: HI.

IT'S ME AGAIN.

I KNOW YOU'RE ANGRY.

UM, I'D JUST REALLY LIKE TO COME HOME.

DANNY: HE BURNT A GIRL TO DEATH IN FRONT OF ME, AND I--I AM DONE.

TT: MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ARE USED EVERY DAY BY COMPANIES.

BUT DO YOU EVER QUESTION WHAT THE REAL COST IS?

IF YOU DO NOTHING, THEY WILL DIE.

KARL: THIS IS THE FINAL TRUTH.

THIS IS OUR FINAL CHANCE TO CATCH HIM, AND WE HAVE NOTHING.
