This whole series of events

began with a deliberate decision
by a senior officer

to breach the PACE code.

Do you want another one?

Another one?

What resulted was not admissible
evidence in a criminal trial.

We should still be OK
with the case against him for Sian.

We have the DNA evidence.

Her blood in his car,
his DNA on her body.

What about Becky?

The confession evidence is all we had.

And, er, I'm afraid, without that,

we'll have to take her name
off the indictment.

Well, this is Fulcher's fault!

Usual deal. None of what we talk about

can be used by ITV
until after the verdict.

Yeah, agreed.

Well, he's a serial killer, Rob.

I am convinced of it.

His big hero was that Myra Hindley
off the Moors Murders.

I want to make a complaint
about one of your police officers.

Well, it's a complaint, Steve.

We'll have to decide
whether it constitutes

just misconduct or gross misconduct.

Really?
- He said they were gunning for him.

He felt abandoned
by Wiltshire Police, cut adrift.

But where is Becky in the pecking order?

Right down at the bottom,
where she's always been.

So you go back and you tell
your bosses, no, I am not satisfied.

Not at all.

I had a word with Mike.

Unfortunately, he's already
referred it to the IPCC.

They're going to charge you.

Gross misconduct.

Happy anniversary!
- Oh...

Thank you very much.
- Happy anniversary, Mum.

Happy anniversary, Dad.

Oh, that's lovely!

Oh, thank you. That's beautiful.

They helped me choose it. Didn't you?
- Just a little bit.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

Ah-ha!

I've always wanted...

It's got a little red light that
flashes if you're too stressed

and you press it too hard.
- Do you think I'm stressed?

Mm, maybe...
- And I thought I was hiding it.

Maybe a little bit.
- Keep out of it, you.

The card's from all three of us.
- Thank you very much.

We're behind you.
- Thank you.

Happy anniversary.
- Mm-hm.

That helps me a lot, I'll tell you.

We have statements from prostitutes

putting Halliwell with Becky
in the lead-up to the murder.

We have the guy he shared a cell with

saying that he liked
to strangle women during sex.

It's all there.

Eight murders,
he told his mate on the phone.

Now, we know about two.

Who's out there
looking for the other six?

It's not me. I'm sat on my arse
on restricted duties.

Have they, er, set a date
for your disciplinary hearing?

Before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, I'm in total...

...limbo.

No case, no team.

The knives are out for me, too.

What?
- Mike Veale suddenly announced to me

that he didn't need me
as a staff officer any more.

He thought I'd resign.

I refused to.

Then I find this week that
he's appointed a new staff officer.

It's a joke.

I mean, this is my problem.
They can't go after you, too.

I'm going to have this out with them.

Steve, don't. Steve...

Pat, can I have a quick word?
- Steve...

Listen, I know there's a lot of flak
flying around,

but it's not fair to...

What's wrong with your phone?
I've been trying to call you.

I had it on charge.
- Mike Veale wants to see you.

OK.

I'll tell him you're on your way.

25 years Halliwell got.
- That's Karen.

He'll get out, so he'll have
plenty of his life in front of him.

I feel for her, of course I do. But...

Fulcher broke the law.

You know that.

I don't really know what I think
any more, to be honest.

I know I'd rather not get into this
right here and now with Karen.

I'll sign.
- Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

You're actually the first.
That's... It's all my family there.

That's... That's me at the top.

Thank you.

25 years...

...Halliwell got. And he'll get out.

Mike wanted to see me?

Oh, right, Steve. Just a minute.

Mike will see you now.

Thank you.

Hello, Steve. Come in. Sit down.

Mike. Kier.
- Steve.

I asked DCS Pritchard
to be here this morning

to make a note of everything.

Now, I have to tell you, Steve,
that I am suspending you from duty

with immediate effect.

It's been brought to my attention

that you had an unauthorised meeting
with a member of the press,

the ITV journalist Rob Murphy,

during which you discussed
Operation Mayan.

This is a meeting that you were
expressly forbidden to attend.

An officer from a neighbouring force
happened to be in the pub that night

and witnessed the meeting
and reported it to Kier.

Well, as you know, Steve,
I expressly told you

you're not to do any interviews
with journalists.

I don't recall any conversation
along those lines, Kier.

I mentioned it
at one of the routines recently.

Mm-hm.

Now, I consider this matter
to be serious enough

to warrant immediate suspension.

Do you have anything to say?
- No, I don't.

Very well, could you please give me
your pass and warrant card?

You will now be escorted
from the premises by Tom,

who's waiting for you outside.

He'll accompany you to your house

to recover any force documents
or property.

Do you understand what I've said to you?

I do.

I'll ask you again
if you have anything to say.

I don't.

Fine. That's everything.

Er, I'll take the phone.

Can I at least call my wife?
- I'm afraid not.

Oh, could I have that, please, sir?

Are you coming in?

Oh, it's Steve.

Maughan and Ned are here.

Er, where's the laptop, please?
- What's going on?

It's in the kitchen on the dining table.

Would you accompany me in there, please?

Steve...?
- I've been suspended.

What?! My mum and dad are in there.
Can I get it for you?

I'm sorry.

Hi, folks. Hello.

Hi, Steve.
- Hello.

Is this it?
- Yes.

Everything all right?
- Yes, it's a work thing.

And she was going round
all of the toilets in the school

and she slid under all the doors,
locked them,

and then slid back out again
so that all the doors,

all the toilets in the whole school
were locked.

How stupid.
- Mm, goodness.

I mean, it's kind of silly
for her to get expelled,

because she's a good student,
she's got good grades.

It's not that big a
deal, it's just a joke.

Just cos she's your friend.

Do you remember Amelia
who was here last week?

Oh, yeah.
- You know, the really bitchy one.

She's not really bitchy.
- Yes, she is.

She's not that bad.
But she's started to...

Don't worry.

Er, would you like to come through?

Thank you.

Thank you for coming to see me,
Mrs Edwards.

The IPCC is an independent body

that's been set up to examine
complaints against the police.

I've asked you to come and see me
today to discuss a complaint

that has been made against the
officer leading the investigation

into the murder of your daughter Rebecca.

Against Steve Fulcher?

Detective Superintendent Fulcher,
that's correct.

I wanted to know if you wanted
to add your name

to the complaint against him.

Who's made this complaint?

Rebecca's father, John Godden.

You're joking! John?!

Oh, you've got to be kidding! That's...

Have you met John Godden?

All complaints about the police

must be dealt with without prejudice.

And it has been deemed that
the points Mr Godden has raised

are serious enough
to warrant an investigation.

Specifically, Detective
Superintendent Fulcher's failure

to apply the rules of PACE

to his interview with the chief
suspect Christopher Halliwell

and prevented justice for his daughter.

But if it wasn't for Steve Fulcher
we'd never have found our daughter.

So, how does he work that one out?

So, you don't agree
with your ex-husband's view

about Chief Superintendent Fulcher's
conduct?

No. We bloody don't.

If Mrs Edwards could answer
the question, please.

No, I bloody well don't!

We've got to help him, Charlie.

We can't leave him
to be thrown to the wolves.

You know, I'm sure it suits them

to make out he's the one that messed up.

You know, "It's not us, it's him."

But you can't take on everyone, Karen.

So, they're after Steve's blood.

But the man who murdered Becky
has got away with it.

How do you work that one out?
- Come on, love, get in.

No, justice for Steve
is justice for Becky.

It's only a bloody can of Coke.

He just had to ask first.

And I have told him that
time and time again.

He has no male role model in his life.

Mick only sees him every other weekend.

To all intents and purposes,
I'm his father now.

Let me in, Elaine.

I want to help.

Lauren!

I was just passing.
- Come in. It's so lovely to see you.

Come in.

Are you going to come and say hello?
- I'm all right in here.

Elaine... This is my daughter.

We don't get on, Pete.
- Yeah, I know.

But can't you just be the bigger person?

Come on, love, let's go through.

Hello?

Of course.

OK, he's ready to see you now.

Thank you very much.

This is a great pleasure
to meet you, Mr Edwards.

Charlie.
- Please...

Thank you very much for seeing us,
Mr Buckland.

Not at all.
- I know you must be very busy.

You've got all the documents I sent you.

Mm.
- I feel very passionate about this.

Halliwell must be prosecuted
for the murder of my daughter.

Not just so Becky gets justice,
but cos the police officer involved,

Detective Superintendent Fulcher,
because it's not fair

that he should be facing
losing his career over this

when all he did was try to save...
- Karen, not all at once.

You're bombarding the man.

Sorry. It's just, once I start, I...

...I find it hard to stop.

But what I wanted to say,
and I know you're a lawyer yourself,

is I think there's a grey area here
with PACE.

I agree.

You agree?

Yes.

Yeah, I think PACE does need
to be looked at.

So...

...can you help us?

You've started a petition?

Yes, we've got over 7.000 signatures
so far.

Right, you need to get that number
up as high as you possibly can.

If I'm to lobby the Government,

the higher the number,
the more they'll take notice.

And you also need to keep on doing
your radio and TV interviews

whenever you get the chance.

You see, the more the campaign
features in the press,

the likelihood increases
that the Government

could ask Wiltshire Police Service
some awkward questions.

Oh, right.

You need to be visible, Mrs Edwards,

and make people aware
of PACE's limitations.

But to answer your question simply,
then...

...yes, I'd like to try and help you.

Oh, thank you!
Thank you very much, Mr Buckland!

Hey.
- Hi!

Hi, how are you doing?

Nice to see you.

Can I get you a drink?

Erm, red wine.
- Mm-hm.

Thank you.

They've sent a file off
to the Crown Prosecution Service

for a criminal prosecution against you.

Criminal? What for?

Malfeasance in a public office.

Malfeasance?!

They want to put him in prison now?

Malfeasance is about abuse of office.

Trying to find Sian alive

and trying to recover the body
of a missing girl isn't malfeasance.

I mean, if that's the case,
who is the victim?

Hm? It'd have to be Halliwell.

The prosecution case would
have to be that, but for my actions,

poor old Christopher Halliwell
would be a free man.

Well, the CPS threw it out.
But it shows you their mind-set.

Seems they want to get you for something.

I'm going to the loo.

I may well throw up.

This is driving her mad.

She wants me to resign.

And do what? I've been a detective
for more than 20 years.

Please, don't jump yet, Steve.

At least wait until you see a lawyer

about your defence
for the disciplinary hearing.

Hear what he has to say. I can't
believe they won't exonerate you

once they hear the evidence.
- Mm-hm.

What's happening to you
is horrible and unfair.

But you mustn't give in.

I'm not an expert and I've never
done anything like this before.

And I've discovered I actually
hate the sound of my own voice.

But I am a mother
who has lost her daughter.

And I feel that gives me the right
to speak my mind.

Because I am absolutely raging
about this inside.

My daughter had her problems.

But that doesn't mean
she doesn't deserve justice.

That doesn't mean we should treat
her any differently to anybody else

who's had their life
snatched away from them.

I'm asking the Government
to urgently review Code C of PACE,

which covers the detention,
treatment and questioning

of suspects by police officers.

PACE is nearly 30 years old and it
was brought in because of concerns

over the way the police were
behaving with people in custody.

Which I understand.

But what Steve Fulcher faced

were a very, very unusual
set of circumstances.

And I feel
there should be more flexibility

when police officers arrest people
in situations like that.

Because I don't want anybody else
to suffer

what we have been through as a family.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I love you.
- I love you, too.

See you soon.

Excuse me, it's Karen, isn't it?
I'm Yvonne.

Steve's wife. I just want to say hello.

Oh, how lovely to meet you.

This is my husband Charlie.

I am so sorry
Steve's having to go through this.

In my opinion, it's an absolute disgrace

and please don't think
we had anything to do with it.

This is all down to him. And when
I heard he'd made a complaint,

after all Steve has done for us,

I could have wrung his neck.

Nice to meet you.
Erm, I was going to go outside.

I'm not allowed to stay in here.
- Oh, that's ridiculous.

Don't you worry, love.
We'll look after him.

Thanks.

Good morning, everyone.

I am Chief Constable Andy Parker
from Warwickshire Police

and I'll be chairing this hearing.

There are some of you
that I haven't met before.

I wonder if we can begin
by you telling us your names?

Anna Proctor, IPCC.

Thank you.

The gentleman at the back?
- Er...

My name is John Godden.

Father of Rebecca Godden.

David Godden, John's brother.

Karen Edwards,
mother of Rebecca Godden-Edwards.

Could you just hang on a minute,
cos I...?

I think I'm on the wrong side here.

Cos I don't want to be associated
with this lot.

Because we're here
to support Steve Fulcher.

So, were going to... Come on, Charlie.

Thank you.

Thank you. Carry on.

The first allegation concerns a complaint

brought against you by Mr Godden.

It is alleged that your behaviour,

when dealing with Mr Halliwell
on 24th March, 2011,

fell below the standards
of professional behaviour

required of an officer of your standing.

Do you admit or deny the allegation?

I deny the allegation.

Allegation two.

It is alleged by your employer,
Wiltshire Police,

that, by having inappropriate
contact with the media,

your conduct again fell below
the same standards.

Do you admit or deny the allegation?

I deny the allegation.

The provisions of PACE are quite
clear, Mr Fulcher.

I mean, they're there to protect
the rights of all of us.

Yes.
- Yet, you did not caution

Christopher Halliwell
as the law dictates.

Now, why not?

Because I felt it was disingenuous

to begin an interview with Halliwell
in those circumstances by saying,

"You don't have to say anything."

I felt his right to silence

directly conflicted
with Sian's right to life.

Er, a little while later,
Halliwell says to you,

"Do you want another one?" Now, what
did you understand this to mean?

It wasn't actually clear, initially,
what it meant.

Well, if it wasn't clear,
wouldn't it have been better

to arrest him for Sian, caution him,

and then clarify things on the other
one back at the police station?

But they wouldn't have been
clarified, would they?

His solicitor would've advised him
to go, "No comment",

and that would've been that.
- Not necessarily.

He could've been properly cautioned,
brought back to the station

and then revealed
the victim's whereabouts.

That's the difference between
theory and practice.

I mean, in practice,
that has never happened.

Not once, in my whole career.

Now, if you had arrested him
and cautioned him at that point,

then everything that followed

would have remained admissible
in evidence.

Not to do so was a gross error
of judgment on your part, wasn't it?

I don't believe it was, no.

I feel like a madman in a roomful
of people who don't understand me.

I'm saying the same thing over and
over again and nobody's listening.

Mr Geenty, you've always supported
Steve Fulcher's reasoning

for not cautioning
Christopher Halliwell, haven't you?

I have no doubt about his good faith
that day.

Yes, but his judgment, his reasoning.

At the pre-trial hearing, before the
Sian O'Callaghan trial, you said,

"I think the decision Steve made was,

"to use the slang, a gutsy decision.

"And I'd like to think
I would make a similar decision

"in the same circumstances."

Well, that was when he was still hoping

that Sian might be found alive.

We all were.

But I disagree with his judgment

when it came to him being offered
information about the second body.

That is where I think PACE
and the protection of the suspect

would have become paramount

because tragically, at that point,
when he knew Sian was dead,

the urgent interview provision
no longer applied.

So you agree with his actions in
relation to Sian, but not to Becky?

No, I believe, at that point,
in the heat of the moment,

he could not have been thinking clearly.

So what are you saying, then?
That Becky doesn't matter?

Would it be fair to say
that Steve Fulcher

was by far the most experienced SIO
that Wiltshire had

at the point of the Sian and Becky
investigation?

Steve has demonstrated
that he has a solid track record.

And that,
whatever else this case is about,

there is no doubt that he is an
outstandingly good police officer.

He is a very competent officer, yes.

Now, in spite of the fact that
it's normal for senior officers

to give off-the-record media briefings,

you say you had a conversation
with Steve Fulcher

to tell him of an order by the then
Deputy Chief Constable Geenty

that he wasn't to do any interviews
with journalists.

That is correct, yes.

You made an entry into your diary
that day, didn't you?

You record 16 points

relating to various matters
you'd discussed with him.

But the one thing you haven't recorded

is any mention of Steve Fulcher

being told not to speak to the media.

I spoke to Steve Fulcher
about DCC Geenty's order

at the end of the conversation.

Those other points were from
the first part of the conversation.

But surely, Mr Geenty's order

would've been the most important
part of that conversation,

based on the fact that Steve Fulcher
stands here today

with the prospect
of losing his career because of it?

I didn't feel it necessary
to have recorded

that part of the conversation.

But I can assure you that it did happen.

Is this actually misconduct at all?

In both instances, the failure
to caution Christopher Halliwell

and the interviews Detective
Superintendent Fulcher

gave to the media,

might not many members of the public say,

"Surely, there are better ways
for the police service and the IPCC

"to deal with such matters?

"Are you really satisfied,
based on the evidence before you,

"that you could take the steps
to remove this man's career?"

Thank you, Mr Beggs.
- Are there any questions

from Rebecca's family members
present today?

Well, not from me.
I'm very happy with how it's gone.

Mrs Edwards?
- I agree with Mr Beggs.

It seems ridiculous all this
public money's been spent on this.

Thank you, both.

Well, we shall now retire
to consider our judgment.

You will be informed of our verdict
in due course,

when this hearing will reconvene.

Thank you.

Come on, you reds!

My sister got in a cab with him.

With Halliwell?
- Yeah.

She seen his picture in the paper
and she was sure it was him.

She gets in his cab
and he drives her the wrong way,

out towards Savernake Forest,
acting all weird, like.

She screams and opens the door
and someone sees them.

And he pulls over and lets her out.

Says he was just having a laugh with her.

She doesn't know how lucky she is.
- Yeah, that's what my mum says.

All right, thank you. Thank you.

We just wanted to check that you were OK.

See if you had any worries or questions.

Thank you. It's much appreciated.

I don't know if you're aware
of what Karen Edwards is doing.

She's got a petition going.

I'm aware of it, yeah.

Her support for Stephen Fulcher
is very commendable, but...

...Wiltshire Police Service feel it is...

...misguided.

Our position is that Fulcher
shouldn't have breached PACE.

Yeah, that's how we feel.

We would have found Sian's body anyway.

That's good to know.

We've heard from Karen's FLO
that she would like to meet you.

Would you be interested
in us arranging that?

No, I wouldn't. Thank you.

After she got in the car with him...

...I keep wondering
what happened to her after that.

I torment myself
wondering if it was quick.

Erm...

He pleaded guilty, so we didn't have
to give a detailed account in court.

Or at least...

...one that we could challenge.

Did she know
what he was going to do with her?

Was she frightened?

Halliwell said that he killed her
quickly.

Within a few minutes of setting off.

She started struggling,
so he stabbed her.

Erm...

I don't know if I believe him.

She wasn't wearing her boots
when you found her.

They were tight-fitting.

When did they come off? Did...?

Did he start to undress her?

I just keep playing it
over and over in my head.

Different scenarios and...

...I just see her face, Pete.

Terrified.

Come here...

It's OK.

Come here.

Shh...

I want to look after you, Elaine.

I'm here for you, all right?

Everything that's happened has
just made me want to protect you.

Why don't you pack it in at work?

You hate that fucking job.

I can support you.

I want us to be together properly,
Elaine.

Mm.

I have asked you not to smoke inside.

Why don't you have a shower?

Why don't you have a nice shower
and we could go to Brighton?

The girls are out tonight.

We could have lunch
and we wouldn't have to rush back.

Do I smell, Yvonne?

What?
- Or do I stink?

Can you smell me from there?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, obfuscation.

I can tell from your answer,

or, more accurately, your...

...lack of an answer, that I don't.
Therefore...

...no need for me to shower.

Is this you being funny?

Anyway, I'm not allowed
to leave the county

without getting permission from them.

You're joking?
- It's true.

I have to ask them
if I can leave Wiltshire.

Well...

OK.

What has happened to Steve Fulcher
is nothing short of scandalous.

Cos, without him, my daughter
would be lying in a field somewhere

without anyone knowing where she was.

But he has been hounded
from pillar to post

while Christopher Halliwell,
who murdered her,

has never faced justice for what he did.

Our Justice For Becky campaign
is petitioning the Government

to change the PACE law.

So, please, sign our petition
if you see us around Swindon.

Not ideal.

What, are you worried about a backlash

if Karen Edwards' support for Steve
Fulcher gains too much momentum?

Because, I have to admit,
it has crossed my mind.

It's not great, from a PR point of view.

No.

Maybe we should have another think
about the investigation.

Yeah.

I know we bicker, I know he can be...

...controlling.

But...

...he can be so sweet.

He's picked me up when I was down.

He's been there for me
all through this. He's been my rock.

He did force you to get that lump
on your boob checked.

I will give him that.

And just when I think
he's exactly what I need,

things happen and I wonder if he is.

We've had another row
because he says Aiden

took a can of Coke
out of the fridge without asking.

Really? A can of Coke?

That's the, er...

...the police at Karen's.
I wonder what they're there for.

She asked to meet me, Karen.

What did you say?
- No.

I can't face her. I know I should, but...

I can't really explain it.

We have come across so many people

who have given us information
on Halliwell.

People who say
they got into his taxi with him

and had scary experiences.

People saying he got obsessed
with women and would stalk them.

People who can link him to girls
who have gone missing.

But it's all hearsay, Karen.

People say they know someone who knew him

or people who've heard something
about him

and not seen it for themselves.

Nothing that would stand up in court.

I'm sorry, but trying to play
amateur detective

and criticising Wiltshire Police
in the media is not helping things.

It's not all critical.

I always tell everybody what
a fantastic job Steve Fulcher did.

And he is a Wiltshire
police officer, isn't he?

We're all in this together.

Now, I was speaking to Sian's mum
Elaine the other day

and she was saying the same thing.

It's a team effort.

Did you tell her I'd asked to meet her?

I did.
- And what did she say?

Er...

She says it's not the right time
for her at the moment.

Well, my door is always open.

When you spoke to the psychiatrist

about those feelings of rage,
Christopher,

of being consumed by a single thought,

did he talk about finding
a harmless release mechanism?

For example, to think of something
that calms us down.

Well, I told him I liked to go fishing.

I used to love sitting there
for hours on end.

I find it very peaceful.

And that's good.

Yeah.

I had this special place
where I liked to fish.

Out in the woods.

It was like my own private...

I don't know what you'd call it.
A sanctum.

Yeah.

I used to love going there.

My special place.

The panel feels that

the continuation of custody
of Christopher Halliwell

without caution or without any
of the other safeguards

afforded him by PACE,

particularly when en route
to the location of Rebecca Godden,

cannot be justified.

At such time as it became apparent
that Sian O'Callaghan was dead,

you should have stopped the car,
turned it around

and taken Halliwell into custody.

And the panel has a wider duty to perform

in respect to public confidence,

and the message needs to be sent
to other officers

that a detective cannot ignore PACE
to such an extent

without being held fully to account.

And we regard your conduct
as gross misconduct.

On allegation two,
the panel concludes that,

on the balance of probability,

you were given an instruction
by Chief Superintendent Pritchard

to not give interviews to the media.

This is not behaviour we would
expect from a senior officer

and we regard the conduct
as gross misconduct.

These breaches would justify dismissal.

However, taking into account
your previous exemplary record,

the panel has concluded that
the most appropriate sanction...

...is a final written warning.

And I cannot stress how close
you came to losing your job today.

I do hope that you have learnt
from this experience.

It's not right what Fulcher did!

Why should we have to pay with
our pain because of his mistakes?

I've been mentally scarred by this.

It seems to me, come to Swindon
and commit a murder

cos you'll get away with it.

I will never trust the police again.

Never.

I can start back as soon as possible.

And you're actually going to?

Well, what else am I going to do?

I'm a police officer. It's all I...

It's all I know, Yvonne!

And I am fucking good at it!
- Good for you, Steve!

Fuck everyone else!

We're very pleased
to have you here, Steve.

Thank you.

You knew Ray Hayward, is that right?
- Er, yes.

Yes, I liked Ray.

I met him many times in meetings.

He always had an interesting take
on things, you know.

Here we are.

Now, when the word went round
that you were available,

our previous Bobby Van manager
has just retired.

Mm-hm.

You're obviously a bit overqualified...
- What exactly is Bobby Van?

It's a local initiative to get a van out

to burglary and criminal damage victims

to get their windows and doors
and suchlike fixed up.

Mm-hm. Right.

Well, I'll...

I'll leave you to it.

Give you a chance
to get up to speed on everything.

Thank you.
- OK.

This is about justice for Becky.

And justice for a brave police officer,

whose career has been ruined
just for doing his job.

And over 40.000 people
have signed our petition,

and with the help of our local MP

we are delighted
to be able to deliver our demand

for a change in the law
directly to Mr Cameron.

And this must never be allowed
to happen again.

Will my Right Honourable friend
join our cause for a thorough review

of Code C of
the Police And Criminal Evidence Act

so that terrible situations
like this will not happen again?

I will look very carefully at what
my honourable friend has raised

and the specific case that he mentions,

and look also at this issue

of the Police And Criminal Evidence Act.

It is always important
that all information

that possibly can be put in front of
a court is put in front of the court

so the court can reach the correct, er...

...the correct decision.

I want you to know
that it's OK to feel happy again.

That, if something good happens,
it's OK to smile

or feel good inside.

It's not betraying Sian
to feel like that.

Me and Pete have decided...

...that we make each other happy.

So, we're going to get married.

And I wanted to tell you before
anyone else,

so you can tell me how you feel about it.

If it's what you want.

Mm.
- I'm happy for you.

Aiden?

I'm glad that you want to marry Pete.

I just want you to be happy, Mum.

I've had enough, Steve.

I can't take any more.

OK, if I retire early...
- Mm-hm.

...my pension will be cut.

We wouldn't have enough to live on.
- I don't care.

Good to see you.

So, this is where we are. Erm...

Well, Mr Cameron was true to his word

and he referred this to Theresa May,
the Home Secretary.

Excellent.

And she referred it to Damian Green,
the Policing Secretary.

And he passed it on to ACPO,

the Association of Chief Police Officers.

Right.
- And they asked for comments

from the relevant police service,
Wiltshire.

Then they went back to Damian Green
with their recommendation

for no action required.

They advise that Section 11 of PACE

is only applicable to a threat
to life and the recovery of evidence

and, therefore,
didn't apply in this case.

But that's exactly what Steve was doing.

He was trying to save Sian
and recover Becky's body. So...

I'm very sorry.

The pond itself.

And as you can see, we've pulled out
a lot of pieces of clothing.

That's quite a lot there.
- It is.

What are we up to now?

About 20 items so far.
But I expect that to go up.

We're going to have another scan
of the pond

and see if we can pull anything else out.

We might have missed one or two things.

Sir!

Yeah.

OK. Excellent.

I think that might be Sian's boot.

It was nice of you to come round.

I always felt that,
with everything that happened,

I never really got the chance
to tell you how sorry I was

about what happened to Ray.

Well, it's not been easy for me,

knowing that he was so desperate
and that we couldn't help him.

Thanks.

Look, I can't speak about
the allegations against him, but...

...from my point of view,
he was a good friend.

Yeah. There was a lot I wanted
to say about how he was treated.

It's not worth it, Steve.

I know what's been happening
with you, and it's not worth it.

The job meant everything to Ray,
too. But...

...it wasn't more important
than his children...

...than his life.

Debs?

Are you watching the local news?

I think the timing's
a bit too convenient.

Where was it?

They're carrying out a dig
at a spot in Ramsbury.

I think this has come
from some information

passed on by Halliwell's
probation officer.

...the boot in the water
which we have recovered.

So, you were walking
along the lane and...?

Scoping the ponds as to which I thought

would be most likely to deposit property.

Why now?

They've done nothing over the
last 18 months and then suddenly,

"Look what a great job we're doing."

I reckon they're worried about backlash

over the way you've been treated.

He says that numerous items
have been recovered.

Mm. One of 60, I heard.

60?

This could be what
you've been waiting for, Steve.

Yeah, I know.

Bollocks.

What?
- I handed in my resignation.

I'm no longer a police officer.
