This is my house

and I'll clean it if I like.

If it's any more sterile we'll need

bio-suits just to watch the TV.

- [chuckles]

- At least I know where I get it from.

You certainly don't get it

from your father.

That man had an allergy to

housework, God rest his lazy arse.

Oh, a letter arrived for you

when you was in the shower.

Looks official.

[Gabriel, voiceover] So there

it was, in black and white.

An invite to work

at the country's

first National Crime Agency,

the BCA.

Which was great, only I had no idea

what the job actually entailed.

So this is the first section of

the building to be operational.

The Agency Director,

Martha Walker, OBE,

wanted to create a space for individuals

to share ideas and information.

Now, we believe this to be

the future of crime fighting.

The Home Office created the British

Crime Agency to combat organized crime,

terrorism, human trafficking,

cyber-crime, fraud,

child exploitation.

Making us the first proper pan-regional

law enforcement agency in the country.

Which is why the media have already

dubbed us the British FBI.

Director Walker expects

transparency and accountability.

In essence, this is

open source crime fighting.

You'll be all right.

We are expanding.

Mind your step.

This is you.

The boss wants you

to report directly to me.

Here's my mobile.

OK.

Don't you want to write it down

or program it into your phone?

No, it's OK, I've seen it.

Suit yourself. Meet you in

the briefing area in 15 minutes.

Take a seat.

What's the Investigative

Psychology Unit?

That my friend

is your new department.

The Behavioral Analysis Unit

at Quantico

is a world leader

at solving complex crimes.

Especially those such as cyber-crime,

fraud and multiple murder.

The Director wants to

replicate this in the UK

so that next year she can

ask for a bigger budget.

Just to be clear, you want me

to hunt down serial killers?

Potentially.

Regional law enforcement

has become lazy.

They are too reliant on

tracing mobile phone numbers

and looking through

credit card statements.

But what if the perpetrators

are smart.

Those digital breadcrumbs

are swept away.

That's where you come in.

We want you to see the things

we can't.

We want you to hunt them down

before they know we are looking.

Well, that was delicious

again, Emma.

Now, don't go running off after

dinner, I have bought you a present.

I have to go up

to London tomorrow.

I'm making a speech

at a gallery.

I need to focus.

I can't be worried

about you wandering off.

What are you doing?

I told you. It's a present.

It's a GPS tracker.

Used for pets mainly,

stops them getting lost.

I don't see why it wouldn't
