Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,967 --> 00:00:06,806
It's called Operation Pear Tree.
2
00:00:06,807 --> 00:00:09,246
Our brief was to embed
an undercover officer
3
00:00:09,247 --> 00:00:11,166
within an organised crime group.
4
00:00:11,167 --> 00:00:13,367
Detective Sergeant John Corbett.
5
00:00:16,268 --> 00:00:18,347
I'm just trying to get to the truth.
6
00:00:18,348 --> 00:00:20,787
The top brass,
they don't want me to succeed.
7
00:00:20,788 --> 00:00:24,300
There's a bent copper running
organised crime, I'm sure of it.
8
00:00:27,341 --> 00:00:29,267
The man that broke in,
I never saw his face.
9
00:00:29,268 --> 00:00:31,467
He said you'd know why he'd done it.
10
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:33,529
I assaulted your gaffer's wife.
11
00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:35,867
He'll make sure I go down,
there's no two ways about it.
12
00:00:35,868 --> 00:00:39,027
One zero to four five.
The order is Fahrenheit.
13
00:00:39,028 --> 00:00:40,827
Sir, we'll lose all of Corbett's intel.
14
00:00:40,828 --> 00:00:43,460
We know that Corbett
is a coldblooded killer.
15
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:46,867
Give yourself up!
16
00:00:46,868 --> 00:00:49,980
You shoot me, then the truth
never comes out.
17
00:00:52,388 --> 00:00:53,800
Lee Banks?
18
00:00:53,825 --> 00:00:56,238
- Who the hell are you?
- Superintendent Hastings.
19
00:00:56,239 --> 00:00:57,787
You're a rat, John.
20
00:00:58,340 --> 00:00:59,667
A rat.
21
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:02,127
What if he did blow Corbett's cover?
22
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:04,108
Doesn't bear thinking about.
23
00:01:05,108 --> 00:01:08,378
- This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
- How much?
24
00:01:08,379 --> 00:01:09,467
£100,000.
25
00:01:09,468 --> 00:01:11,547
Haven't we earned a payday?
26
00:01:11,548 --> 00:01:15,027
I don't want the fiasco of Operation
Pear Tree, which was not of your
27
00:01:15,028 --> 00:01:19,108
making, add a disastrous coda to
an otherwise distinguished career.
28
00:01:24,188 --> 00:01:26,467
Cover it up with all this stuff. Come on.
29
00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:28,667
I never asked you how your exams went.
30
00:01:28,668 --> 00:01:30,708
Yeah, I got a date for my interview.
31
00:01:32,108 --> 00:01:34,867
It's clear to me that the threshold
test has been passed
32
00:01:34,868 --> 00:01:37,787
and therefore it is my lawful right
to arrest you on suspicion
33
00:01:37,788 --> 00:01:40,820
- of conspiracy to murder John Corbett.
- No, no, no.
34
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:43,316
You will be held in custody
35
00:01:43,341 --> 00:01:45,187
while we gather further
evidence against you.
36
00:01:45,188 --> 00:01:47,980
What is happening here?
I am being framed!
37
00:01:50,268 --> 00:01:51,747
Today was just for starters.
38
00:01:51,748 --> 00:01:54,180
Now I'm going to prove
that Hastings is H.
39
00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:03,267
The inquiry into Superintendent Hastings
40
00:02:03,268 --> 00:02:06,267
is not a matter over which
you're entitled to exercise choice.
41
00:02:06,268 --> 00:02:08,787
Cooperation is your lawful duty
as police officers
42
00:02:08,788 --> 00:02:12,187
and failure to comply is an offence
under police conduct regulations.
43
00:02:12,188 --> 00:02:15,580
Any of you obstructing my officers
can and will face arrest.
44
00:02:16,580 --> 00:02:18,467
But let's not fall out over this.
45
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:20,988
I'm sure we can all work together nicely.
46
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,580
DI Fleming, DS Arnott,
can I borrow you a minute?
47
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:35,270
Seven years and counting.
48
00:02:35,271 --> 00:02:37,787
No-one's worked more closely
with Ted Hastings than you two.
49
00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:41,187
You have better insights into
the man than anyone else in AC12.
50
00:02:41,188 --> 00:02:46,220
So, what you know, I need to know,
my team needs to know.
51
00:02:50,260 --> 00:02:53,467
Ma'am, I'm not comfortable
kicking the gaffer when he's down.
52
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:55,270
He recruited you.
53
00:02:55,295 --> 00:02:56,530
- Yes, ma'am.
- Mm-hm.
54
00:02:57,820 --> 00:03:00,147
Stuck by you when perhaps
some others wouldn't have.
55
00:03:00,148 --> 00:03:03,780
Shagging witnesses and suspects
and the like.
56
00:03:05,420 --> 00:03:08,187
I sympathise with your loyalties,
DS Arnott, I really do,
57
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,467
but on the other hand we have found
£50,000 stashed in his hotel room
58
00:03:11,468 --> 00:03:14,471
so if I were you I wouldn't go round
professing too close a loyalty
59
00:03:14,472 --> 00:03:17,567
to Ted Hastings, otherwise people
might just start suspecting you
60
00:03:17,568 --> 00:03:19,780
of being an accessory to his offences.
61
00:03:21,948 --> 00:03:23,467
H.
62
00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:26,187
A senior police officer
sitting at the top
63
00:03:26,188 --> 00:03:28,747
of an institutionalised relationship
64
00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:33,980
between organised crime
and corrupt police officers.
65
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:39,880
AC12 failed to bring him down.
66
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:43,160
I won't.
67
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:50,520
Wow.
68
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,719
£50,000.
69
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,999
Ma'am, Sarge, can we talk please?
70
00:03:57,700 --> 00:03:59,193
- Sure. What's up?
71
00:03:59,218 --> 00:04:00,479
- I've been looking into
John Corbett's past,
72
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,679
like you asked me to. You said
it was completely confidential
73
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,200
- and I couldn't share it with anyone.
- What have you found?
74
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,199
- May I ask what's going on in here?
- Yeah. A private conversation.
75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,919
Didn't you hear DCS Carmichael?
We need to know everything.
76
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:19,200
- It's Michelle, isn't it?
- Yes.
77
00:04:19,225 --> 00:04:20,679
Listen, Michelle, we're AC12.
78
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,519
We do this to other units
week-in-week-out
79
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,119
so don't try telling me how it works.
80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,999
We're witnesses, not suspects.
81
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,680
Now, stop making a tit of yourself
and piss off.
82
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,599
Sorry. Go on.
83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,679
It goes back to
Superintendent Hastings' service
84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,679
with the Royal Ulster Constabulary.
85
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:42,522
When he was a PC in the 1980s,
he was interviewed in connection
86
00:04:42,523 --> 00:04:45,060
with the disappearance
of Anne-Marie McGillis.
87
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:47,679
- Corbett's mum?
- Yeah.
88
00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:50,997
- The records aren't brilliant.
- No, they never were in them days.
89
00:04:50,998 --> 00:04:53,679
But they've been retained as
the disappearance remains unsolved.
90
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,797
You've got this on file?
91
00:04:54,822 --> 00:04:57,319
Yes, Sarge,
but I've kept it security protected.
92
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,712
Well done, but I don't want you
getting in trouble
93
00:04:59,713 --> 00:05:03,399
so you should share the file
with DCS Carmichael's team.
94
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,919
Yes, ma'am.
95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,520
Thank you, ma'am.
96
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:10,679
Christ's sake, Kate.
97
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,470
I'm just calling it as I see it,
Steve. The truth comes first.
98
00:05:14,471 --> 00:05:16,879
What, we just help Carmichael
hammer nails in the gaffer's coffin?
99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,359
Well, you heard Carmichael.
If the gaffer is found guilty,
100
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,439
I can guarantee it'll be us
she'll be after next.
101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,319
"Oh, we must have
known Hastings was bent."
102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,719
What if the gaffer's innocent?
We'll have betrayed him.
103
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,759
He'll come after us and we'll deserve it.
104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,679
Well, I don't know about you, Steve,
but I'm not going to sit around
105
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,473
and wait for a kicking off
the gaffer or Carmichael
106
00:05:33,474 --> 00:05:35,100
when there's police work to be done.
107
00:05:43,331 --> 00:05:45,120
Stand clear of the door.
108
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,599
Corbett's murder, Hastings' arrest.
109
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,159
Fortunately, it will all be
covered by our application
110
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,919
for Public Interest Immunity.
111
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,919
Nothing need ever come out.
112
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,479
Unless Carmichael proves
a link between Hastings
113
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,919
and organised crime.
We have to go public with that.
114
00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:19,300
There's pros and cons PR-wise.
115
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,359
Which makes me think we need to
emphasise the wording.
116
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,919
Wording?
117
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,399
Operation Pear Tree's objective
was to examine institutionalised
118
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,679
links between corrupt police
officers and organised criminals.
119
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,679
Most people would prefer us spending
that money reducing response times,
120
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,000
putting more bobbies on the beat.
121
00:06:41,340 --> 00:06:44,999
- Anyway, I'll leave that with you.
- Where are you going?
122
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:47,319
The inquiry into Superintendent Hastings
123
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,900
must be above reproach.
124
00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:51,840
Wouldn't hurt to make sure.
125
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,720
- This is never easy.
- No.
126
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:27,679
Sorry for your loss.
127
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,679
We're sorry to have to ask
128
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,159
but we're making further enquiries
into John's undercover operation.
129
00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:34,919
I can't help you.
130
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:37,420
Not sure I would even if I could.
131
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:43,000
I met John a few times.
132
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,920
He was a very brave man.
133
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:52,679
Steph, from what Merseyside Police
have told us
134
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,600
about your reaction to the news
of your husband's death...
135
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,122
...it has made us question some
of the things you said to us
136
00:07:59,123 --> 00:08:00,540
when we was last here.
137
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,080
You're not in any trouble.
138
00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:06,440
We just want to do right by John.
139
00:08:13,220 --> 00:08:14,639
Sit down if you like.
140
00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:16,320
Thank you.
141
00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:26,680
It was all an act before.
142
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,100
John told me that was how to play it
to protect him.
143
00:08:33,420 --> 00:08:36,679
Going back to our visit
on the 10th of March,
144
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:40,380
we asked you about John's links
to Northern Ireland.
145
00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:43,680
He grew up over there.
146
00:08:44,980 --> 00:08:47,399
When his mum died,
he was took in by his auntie.
147
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:49,399
Did John ever talk about his mum?
148
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Yeah.
149
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,679
We've got a name, Anne-Marie McGillis.
150
00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:56,679
Anne-Marie, yeah.
151
00:08:57,180 --> 00:08:58,920
What did John say about her?
152
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,999
John never said much.
153
00:09:02,380 --> 00:09:04,679
To be honest, I don't know
how much he ever knew.
154
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:08,679
He was... He was only a kid when it
all happened, about nine or ten.
155
00:09:09,380 --> 00:09:10,520
When what happened?
156
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:15,159
The story was Anne-Marie
was helping the police
157
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,600
and then the police betrayed her.
158
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:22,360
Let on she was an informant
and that's why she got killed.
159
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:27,360
Did John ever say there was
a particular officer involved?
160
00:09:29,380 --> 00:09:32,399
When he was older,
his auntie said there was one
161
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,479
that Anne-Marie had talked about.
162
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:36,680
A young fella her age.
163
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:42,280
I think he took a shine to her and
she trusted him to look out for her.
164
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:45,680
He should have but he didn't.
165
00:09:47,133 --> 00:09:48,653
Or worse.
166
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,560
What do you mean, worse?
167
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:54,679
Something John said.
168
00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:58,159
This copper, he was married,
and there was a bit of scandal
169
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,759
about him spending so much time
round Anne-Marie's.
170
00:10:02,260 --> 00:10:04,679
Maybe it suited him
for Anne-Marie to go missing.
171
00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:07,320
Did John have any evidence of this?
172
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:10,319
Not that I know of.
173
00:10:10,606 --> 00:10:12,686
Was there a name for this officer?
174
00:10:13,659 --> 00:10:15,659
If there was, I never heard it.
175
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Not from John.
176
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:22,239
Did John ever connect this family
history to the undercover operation
177
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,679
he was involved in
at the time of his death?
178
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:28,000
John never told me what his jobs
was about for me own protection.
179
00:10:29,206 --> 00:10:30,886
And his.
180
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:35,040
Why are you so interested in what
happened in Northern Ireland?
181
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:37,999
Is there a connection?
182
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:39,680
We don't know.
183
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,919
Corbett never mentioned Hastings
to Steph.
184
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,839
He was only a kid when it happened.
Maybe he never knew the name.
185
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,839
Still, the undercover officer
recruited to investigate
186
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,424
links between the OCG
and corrupt officers,
187
00:10:57,425 --> 00:10:59,239
all the way up to H,
just happens to be the son
188
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,319
of a woman murdered on
the gaffer's patch?
189
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,479
Well, now we know why Corbett was
so convinced the gaffer's bent.
190
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,023
What we don't know is if someone
else knew about Corbett's past link
191
00:11:07,024 --> 00:11:09,401
to the gaffer or if somehow
Corbett managed to put himself
192
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:11,660
- forward for the job.
- Exactly.
193
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,959
Any chance of it being a coincidence?
194
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,420
Coincidence, my arse.
195
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,079
I see you've cleared everybody out.
196
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,159
That'll save the mutual
embarrassment when I'm reinstated.
197
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,239
DCS Carmichael had concerns
about security.
198
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,320
AC12 had a corrupt DI
who shot his way out of here.
199
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:41,920
- Did you manage to get any sleep?
- Not much.
200
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,160
Thank you. As you were.
201
00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:55,399
Listen, this heavy mob that
you've just parachuted in,
202
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,479
they look a bit trigger-happy to me.
203
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,719
But our man, Police Sergeant
Kyle Ferringham,
204
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,599
he knows this building inside out,
205
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,679
you will not find a safer pair of hands.
206
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:05,919
You just said it. He's your man.
207
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,140
I'll stick with mine, thank you.
208
00:12:22,140 --> 00:12:24,919
Second interview of Edward Hastings
in the presence of his solicitor
209
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,359
by DCS Carmichael, DI Brandyce
and PS Tranter.
210
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,919
You remain under caution.
211
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,119
As you know, you may be held for up
to 24 hours,
212
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,640
at which point you will
either be released
213
00:12:32,641 --> 00:12:36,040
or charged with conspiracy
to murder John Corbett.
214
00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:39,759
Pausing interview.
215
00:12:41,860 --> 00:12:44,060
PS Ferringham on official business.
216
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:48,159
What's going on?
217
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,399
Gill Biggeloe, Senior Legal Counsel
to the PCC, attending
218
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,759
as an official observer to ensure
correct procedures are followed.
219
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,399
- Why wasn't I informed?
- You just were.
220
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:00,000
Thank you.
221
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Ma'am.
222
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,680
Hi, Ted.
223
00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:21,159
Resuming interview, now with PCC's
Senior Legal Counsel observing.
224
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,995
- Mr Hastings, how did you...?
- I thought, ma'am,
225
00:13:25,340 --> 00:13:28,240
that we had agreed that
I would be addressed by my rank.
226
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,679
Given the gravity of the charge
against you,
227
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,603
I know we'd both hate to be accused
of special treatment.
228
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:36,319
Best we treat you like
any normal, regular person
229
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,200
who's been accused of plotting
to kill someone, don't you agree?
230
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,239
When did you receive confirmation
that John Corbett
231
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,080
had assaulted your wife?
232
00:13:47,620 --> 00:13:50,559
I'm sorry to probe. I know this must
be extremely upsetting for you.
233
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,679
- On the 12th of March.
- When on the 12th of March?
234
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:56,260
During the operation to apprehend him.
235
00:13:57,893 --> 00:13:59,213
Oh.
236
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,239
I see.
237
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,159
Talk about a pressure situation.
My heart goes out to you.
238
00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:06,399
To have that trauma
at that very same moment
239
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,260
as being in command of armed
officers surrounding John Corbett.
240
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:11,919
Still, and, I am sorry about this,
241
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,679
I do need to ask you about
the events that followed.
242
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,079
DI Brandyce.
243
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,399
Document 53 in your folders.
244
00:14:18,780 --> 00:14:20,919
Document 53 is a copy of the report
245
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,399
made by the Tactical Firearms Commander
246
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,039
during said operation
on the 12th of March,
247
00:14:26,620 --> 00:14:28,030
written on the 13th of March
248
00:14:28,055 --> 00:14:31,679
and received later that day by
the Strategic Firearms Commander.
249
00:14:31,980 --> 00:14:36,319
Drawing your attention to page three
of said report, paragraph four,
250
00:14:36,740 --> 00:14:41,199
"Superintendent Hastings relayed
a Fahrenheit order to DS Arnott."
251
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,537
- Did you give said order?
- Yes.
252
00:14:43,538 --> 00:14:45,170
What's your understanding of said order?
253
00:14:45,171 --> 00:14:49,679
The authority to deploy lethal force
to prevent immediate loss of life
254
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,319
or prevent immediate danger
to the public.
255
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,479
Responsibility for issuing said order
256
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,679
lies with the Strategic
Firearms Commander.
257
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,119
For the order to be issued by
any other officer is unlawful.
258
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,679
Corbett had already drawn his firearm,
259
00:15:01,980 --> 00:15:04,359
DS Arnott was facing
an immediate threat to life,
260
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,679
I was concerned that DS Arnott
would hesitate
261
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,649
and that Corbett would discharge
his firearm.
262
00:15:08,650 --> 00:15:11,479
I gave the order to save
my officer's life.
263
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,300
In your mind, having just learned
that Corbett had tortured your wife,
264
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,199
- no other motivations were at work?
- None.
265
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,530
And that he was involved in
the death of one of your officers,
266
00:15:22,531 --> 00:15:24,159
- PC Maneet Bindra?
- Yes.
267
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,319
- You weren't vengeful towards Corbett?
- My first concern remained,
268
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,679
as it should do for all police
officers, the preservation of life.
269
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,879
Clearly you weren't concerned
with the preservation
270
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,959
- of John Corbett's life.
- I did not cause his death.
271
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,877
He brought it upon himself
when he went rogue.
272
00:15:36,878 --> 00:15:38,018
I take no pleasure in this
273
00:15:38,019 --> 00:15:40,320
but the man
had it coming to him in spades.
274
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,159
I'd like to return to the remarks
you made to DS Railston
275
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:47,399
following the assault on your wife.
276
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:49,679
That's Document 60 in your folders.
277
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,559
Document 60 is a crime report
by DS Samantha Railston
278
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,279
detailing statements made by
Edward Hastings on the 8th of March.
279
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,879
Page 2, para 3,
280
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,560
"Superintendent Hastings stated,
281
00:16:01,561 --> 00:16:03,639
'Whoever's responsible better
start praying
282
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,359
"'he's up in front of the judge
before I get my hands on him.'"
283
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,780
What did you mean by that?
284
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,279
It was rhetorical.
285
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,519
And what would you have done
if, as per your statement,
286
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,660
you had "got your hands on him"?
287
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,919
I would have done what any police
officer would have done
288
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,759
and arrested him for grievous
bodily harm.
289
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,239
Which sounds like what any
law-abiding officer would do.
290
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,799
Well, I am a law-abiding officer.
291
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,879
And yet, on the 12th of March,
you ordered DS Arnott
292
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,479
to shoot John Corbett in cold blood.
293
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,199
To prevent an immediate loss of life!
294
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,479
And later that same day,
you visited Lee Banks,
295
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,559
an OCG member on remand
in Blackthorn Prison.
296
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,959
Yeah, to harvest information on the OCG.
297
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,599
When DS Arnott quite rightly did not
deploy lethal force against
298
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,879
John Corbett, did you take matters
into your own hands
299
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,466
and disclose to Lee Banks
300
00:16:43,467 --> 00:16:45,519
that John Corbett was
an undercover police officer?
301
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,039
No, I did not.
302
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,839
Disclosing this information with
the expectation that it would be
303
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,460
- passed on to the OCG?
- No!
304
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,519
I'm really sorry to labour something that
305
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,719
I know you find very upsetting,
but I'd like to return
306
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,159
to the injuries that John Corbett
inflicted on your wife.
307
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,319
If you must.
308
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,700
Thank you.
309
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,759
The case was dealt with by
the Serious Crime Unit.
310
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,559
Document 60 in your folders.
311
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,719
Drawing your attention to page 2, para 2,
312
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,999
"When questioned, Superintendent
Hastings denied knowledge of
313
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,559
"any significance to the pattern of
injuries sustained by the victim."
314
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,236
- Is that what you said to DS Railston?
- Yes.
315
00:17:21,237 --> 00:17:23,679
Thank you for being truthful with us.
316
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,359
I can't tell you how much easier
that makes everything.
317
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:27,559
Now, as part of our inquiry,
318
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,479
we've been given access
to your service record.
319
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:36,079
The service record is summarised
in Document 2 in your folders.
320
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,559
The service record indicates
321
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,679
Edward Hastings joined the
Royal Ulster Constabulary in 1982
322
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,999
and served as a police constable
for seven years,
323
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,364
till his promotion to Police Sergeant
324
00:17:47,365 --> 00:17:49,439
and transfer in 1989.
325
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,479
Sorry, I don't mean to put you on
the spot, but seven years' policing
326
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,919
in Northern Ireland in the 1980s,
and you never came across
327
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,239
a pattern of injuries that involved
the wrists, knees and ankles?
328
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,359
Yeah, but, look...
329
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,639
You have to remember, my team
had only just discovered
330
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,919
that DS Railston's officer,
331
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,959
Commanding Detective Chief
Superintendent Lester Hargreaves,
332
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,799
was corrupt, having been an accomplice
333
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,679
with the OCG in their armed robbery
of Eastfield Depot.
334
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,079
So, you're offering by way of
an explanation
335
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,959
that you withheld information
336
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,799
for fear of how it would be
misused by Railston?
337
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,839
The assault on my wife
appeared to be the work
338
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,519
of the organised crime group
that we were investigating,
339
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,220
a threat or a warning to me
to suppress the inquiry.
340
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,759
I just didn't want to give them
the satisfaction
341
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,479
of knowing how upsetting
I found the whole event.
342
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,079
So, you did appreciate
the significance of the injuries?
343
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,759
Yes, all right, look, if you want
me to state the obvious.
344
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,519
Yes, a resemblance to punishment
and or torture meted out
345
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,479
by paramilitary and/or terrorist
organisations.
346
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,039
Indeed, so now, let's turn
to your service
347
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,119
with the Royal Ulster Constabulary
in the period 1982-1989, inclusive.
348
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,119
Document 62.
349
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:58,439
PC Edward Hastings served
in West Belfast.
350
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,999
A periodic professional assessment
submitted in the summer of 1988
351
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,879
by Police Sergeant Thomas Cranford
notes the following,
352
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,519
"Hastings appears to have a rapport
with the Catholic community
353
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,866
"due to his own Catholic tendencies."
354
00:19:12,867 --> 00:19:14,959
Are you able to tell us a little bit
about your background?
355
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,879
Well, I'd really rather not.
356
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,559
A Catholic in the RUC,
were you in the minority?
357
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,359
I was, and am, a police officer.
358
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,879
I do not discriminate
against my fellow officers
359
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,119
on grounds of creed, and I would
appreciate the same courtesy.
360
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,439
Well, the sergeant writing up
361
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,879
that RUC periodic professional assessment
362
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,519
didn't mind referring to it.
363
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,288
Document 62 continued,
364
00:19:37,289 --> 00:19:40,205
"Hastings' family background
is more complicated,
365
00:19:40,206 --> 00:19:42,719
"which may prove valuable
in future assignments."
366
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,267
What did he mean by that?
367
00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:46,919
- You'd have to ask him.
- We did.
368
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,439
Document 65 in your folders.
369
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,679
Statement by former Police Sergeant,
now retired, Thomas Cranford,
370
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,039
submitted to Anticorruption Unit 3
on the 14th of March.
371
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,399
"We all thought he was Protestant.
372
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,439
"Edward and Hastings, what else
is the fella going to be?
373
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,159
"Turned out that was a sensitive subject.
374
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,999
"His old man was a Protestant
but he'd married a Catholic,
375
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,839
"and when he went off, his mum
brought up young Ted that way."
376
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,399
Why did you leave the RUC?
377
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,500
Well...
378
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,020
...the kind of talk we just heard
being quoted didn't help.
379
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,199
In 1989, you suffered serious injuries.
380
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,199
On 29th of June 1989,
381
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,399
an RUC patrol vehicle drove over
a pipe bomb, causing the death
382
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,159
of PC Patrick O'Malley and serious
injury to PC Edward Hastings.
383
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,679
Two Catholic officers targeted?
384
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,039
Yeah, well, it doesn't take a genius
to see why I put in for a transfer.
385
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,120
Or were you targeted for another reason?
386
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,559
I don't know what you're referring to.
387
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,519
I'd like to examine events
in the period 1988-1989
388
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,919
and, specifically, a special
assignment that you took part in.
389
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,759
Do you recognise the name
Anne-Marie McGillis?
390
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,119
For the DIR, I'm showing
the interviewee Image 41,
391
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,420
an RUC file photograph of
Anne-Marie McGillis.
392
00:21:05,146 --> 00:21:06,380
Mr Hastings?
393
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,800
You're going back 30 years here, come on.
394
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,999
Let's see if this can jog your memory.
395
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,639
Document 78 in your folders.
396
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,279
Document 78 is a report entered into
the Royal Ulster Constabulary files
397
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,079
on missing persons,
dated the 23rd of May 1989.
398
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,359
Anne-Marie McGillis was reported
missing on the 19th April 1989.
399
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:33,959
The night before, Tuesday the 18th April,
400
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,437
Anne-Marie left her son with a neighbour,
401
00:21:36,438 --> 00:21:39,399
informing the neighbour that she was
popping out for a couple of hours
402
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,879
to visit a friend in hospital.
403
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,759
Anne-Marie never returned
to collect her son.
404
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,599
No witnesses came forward
to reveal Anne-Marie's movements
405
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,039
on the night she disappeared.
406
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,879
No-one known to Anne-Marie was able
to identify the family friend
407
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,679
who was admitted in to hospital.
408
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,719
The Missing Persons team concluded
that this person didn't exist,
409
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,959
and that Anne-Marie had deceived
her neighbour
410
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,639
regarding her activities
on the night she disappeared.
411
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,319
A number of individuals known to
Anne-Marie were interviewed
412
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,479
in connection with
the Missing Persons inquiry.
413
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,199
And one such individual was
Police Constable Edward Hastings.
414
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,759
Do you recall these events, Mr Hastings?
415
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:12,799
Some.
416
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,080
What do you recall?
417
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,759
Well, Anne-Marie's husband had been
murdered a few years before.
418
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,479
Apparently, he was active
during the Troubles.
419
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,599
One of those nasty little
tit-for-tat killings.
420
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,759
Anyway, Anne-Marie,
421
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,679
she blamed someone higher up
the chain of command
422
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,300
for her husband's death, you know...
423
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,759
She felt that he was sacrificed
needlessly.
424
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,540
Anyway, grief, I think...
425
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,199
...later turned to passing
information to the police
426
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,439
about terrorist activities.
427
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,693
- She was an CHIS informant?
- Yes.
428
00:22:48,694 --> 00:22:51,439
And did you play a role in
Anne-Marie serving as a CHIS?
429
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,919
Yes, well, she...
Look, she lived on my patch.
430
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,519
You know, in those days,
431
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,280
it was very difficult for the RUC
to enter certain areas, to er...
432
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,119
...to put it mildly.
433
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:03,959
And I think some local women
found out my mother was a Catholic
434
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,559
and that I was a Catholic too.
435
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,519
And I think that bought a bit of trust.
436
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,799
You were instrumental in Anne-Marie
trusting the police
437
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,639
with information she was disclosing
about terrorist organisations?
438
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,199
I helped, that's all.
439
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,280
Did you have meetings with Mrs McGillis?
440
00:23:17,540 --> 00:23:19,393
- Some.
- According to the file,
441
00:23:19,394 --> 00:23:21,639
you didn't always meet Anne-Marie
in covert locations.
442
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,639
You were seen entering
and leaving her home.
443
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,079
Yes, you know, I'd give her a hand.
444
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,480
Little odd jobs,
there was no man about the house.
445
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,479
I'm no expert in RUC covert tactics
in the 1980s,
446
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,359
but I would have thought that
making it appear
447
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,359
that a young woman
from a Republican community
448
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:39,519
has some kind of friendship
with a police officer
449
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,919
is only going to invite trouble.
450
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,599
The sort of trouble that might
get you targeted by a pipe bomb,
451
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,879
or get your lady friend murdered.
452
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,719
I object to the term "lady friend".
453
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,360
What level of friendship was it?
454
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,639
What do you mean?
455
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,279
She was an attractive young widow.
456
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,359
Yes.
457
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:56,639
And I was a married man!
458
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,988
According to the file,
459
00:23:57,989 --> 00:24:00,039
there were rumours you two
were conducting an affair.
460
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,759
Yeah, but that's what they were, rumours.
461
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,851
Just gossip, drummed up by
a bunch of people
462
00:24:03,852 --> 00:24:05,457
no better than they should've been.
463
00:24:05,458 --> 00:24:07,659
Regardless, I'm sure you can see
how your intimacy
464
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:08,959
could've put Anne-Marie in jeopardy.
465
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,960
That's not what happened!
466
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,679
Did she meet a police
officer to pass information
467
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,300
on the evening of
Tuesday the 18th April 1989?
468
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,839
Yes.
469
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,039
You?
470
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,080
Yes.
471
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,519
What happened that night?
472
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,829
Well, she told me that
she'd made up some story
473
00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:35,879
about going to visit a sick friend.
474
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,559
She passed the information to me.
475
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,199
And, as far as I know, she returned home.
476
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,959
Were you involved in her disappearance?
477
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,080
No.
478
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,959
As God is my witness, I was not.
479
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,799
According to the Missing Persons file,
480
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,559
you were the last person
to see her alive.
481
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,999
That is an equivocation,
Detective Chief Superintendent,
482
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,759
as well you know.
483
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,460
I'll rephrase.
484
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,679
You were the last person to admit
to police in an official statement
485
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,719
to seeing Anne-Marie McGillis alive.
486
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,319
I watched her walk down
the street, turn the corner.
487
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,999
Anne-Marie McGillis
trusted you implicitly?
488
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,319
Yes, I believe she did.
489
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,079
One theory considered by the RUC
is that you exploited that trust
490
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,367
- to lure Anne-Marie to her death.
- Completely false!
491
00:25:16,368 --> 00:25:17,759
The theory being that, as a Catholic,
492
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,519
you were susceptible to
relationships with
493
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,707
the very organisations that
Anne-Marie was informing on.
494
00:25:21,708 --> 00:25:24,359
Look Growing up back then,
in the 70's, in the city,
495
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,319
they were everywhere.
They were part of the culture.
496
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,479
This sort of organisation?
497
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,679
Oh, come on now, I didn't want
any part of that.
498
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,999
I became a police officer.
499
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,839
Anything familiar about their appearance?
500
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,999
It was a different time,
a different thing entirely.
501
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,269
Nonetheless, they're wearing
the clothing associated with
502
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:40,879
organised crime groups
that AC12 have been investigating
503
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,399
- for seven years or more.
- There's no direct connection!
504
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,439
Anne-Marie McGillis' remains
weren't found until 2001.
505
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,519
Document 72.
506
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,999
Document 72 is the postmortem report
on Anne-Marie McGillis.
507
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,199
The cause of death was
a single gunshot wound to the head.
508
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,439
Additional gunshot wounds were detected
509
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,759
bilaterally on the victim's wrists,
knees and ankles.
510
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,999
Lesions caused by haemorrhage
indicate these gunshot wounds
511
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,239
were inflicted when the victim
was still alive.
512
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,634
Anne-Marie McGillis was tortured
in the same pattern
513
00:26:10,635 --> 00:26:12,079
as that inflicted on your wife.
514
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,999
Yeah, but that's how
they did it back then.
515
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,279
But this does not necessitate
a direct connection.
516
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,679
Her son. Did you ever meet him?
517
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:20,940
Er...
518
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,479
No. She always left her son with
some neighbours or a family friend,
519
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,999
something like that.
She never wanted him involved.
520
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,599
When Anne-Marie disappeared,
521
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,439
her son was orphaned at the age of 10.
522
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,479
He was taken in by Anne-Marie's sister
523
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,599
and her brother-in-law,
who resided in Liverpool.
524
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,100
The boy was adopted
and he took their surname.
525
00:26:40,940 --> 00:26:42,319
Corbett.
526
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,980
John Corbett.
527
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,040
Corbett was Anne-Marie's wee fella?
528
00:27:11,087 --> 00:27:12,287
No.
529
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,919
Would you like to take a break, Ted?
530
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,120
Yes, of course.
531
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,500
OK.
532
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,239
Is there anything I can do to help?
533
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,720
Just give me a minute.
534
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,159
Mark Moffatt? DI Fleming.
535
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,679
DS Arnott. Do you have a minute, sir?
536
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,079
Sir's long gone.
537
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,479
Mark's fine.
538
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,919
I don't know if you remember us
from AC12.
539
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,199
- Can you give us a minute?
- Yeah, sure.
540
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,519
Water under the bridge,
as far as I'm concerned.
541
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:15,879
No hard feelings.
542
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,679
We'd like to ask you
a couple of questions
543
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,700
about your commercial relationship
with Superintendent Hastings.
544
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,319
Ted was a...
545
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,039
...an original investor in
a development that went south
546
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,759
about six years back.
547
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,599
We got it back on track,
so I offered Ted a buy-in
548
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,799
to try and recoup his original losses.
549
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,399
And did he?
550
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,039
Unfortunately, he couldn't come up
with the funds.
551
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,279
According to Superintendent Hastings,
552
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,959
you loaned him £50,000 off-book.
553
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,679
50?
554
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,039
Yeah, that's the figure we've been given.
555
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,820
I don't know how Ted's got that idea.
556
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,439
Does the name John Corbett
mean anything to you?
557
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,160
No, sorry.
558
00:29:01,106 --> 00:29:02,186
If that's all...
559
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,759
Thanks for your time.
560
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,100
Give Ted my best.
561
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,959
Well, we drew a blank on Corbett.
562
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,479
Yeah, you saw his reaction
when we mentioned the 50 grand.
563
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,039
Something's not right.
564
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,700
We need to find out what.
565
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,399
Resuming interview.
You remain under caution.
566
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,839
Now, let's examine in more detail
567
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,439
some evidence we found in your
hotel room on the 14th of March.
568
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,680
Image 9.
569
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,879
You'll recall Image 9
shows item reference MB1.
570
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,399
You'll recall item reference MB1
is a brown envelope
571
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,759
addressed to you,
containing item reference MB2.
572
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,839
MB2 are banknotes in the sum of £50,000.
573
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,391
Superintendent Hastings has already
given a full and clear explanation
574
00:30:01,392 --> 00:30:03,839
regarding this item. To summarise,
575
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,279
it was an unsolicited advance
on future profits.
576
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,087
Superintendent Hastings
was extremely uncomfortable
577
00:30:10,088 --> 00:30:12,559
about the loan, and telephoned
Mark Moffat to return the money.
578
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,119
DI Brandyce.
579
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,759
We took further steps to detect
the source of said cash.
580
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,919
I told you, it came from Mark Moffatt.
581
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,220
DI Brandyce.
582
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,119
Document 40 in your folders.
583
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,488
Forensic analysis of banknotes MB2
584
00:30:26,489 --> 00:30:29,479
detected microscopic pollen deposits.
585
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,079
Pollen grains detected on MB2 were
subjected to chemical analysis.
586
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,799
The chemical structure of pollen
grains detected on MB2
587
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,799
closely resembles the chemical
structure of pollen grains
588
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,479
detected on items of evidence gathered
589
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,759
during AC-12's inquiry
into Operation Pear Tree.
590
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:51,079
Said evidence are item reference
JLM5 and item reference JD5.
591
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,780
Image 12, Tina.
592
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:59,213
Image 12 shows a cache of banknotes
in the sum of £25,000
593
00:30:59,214 --> 00:31:02,679
detected under floorboards
at 21 Cleric Way.
594
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,119
Do you recognise the banknotes
shown in the image,
595
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,279
- Superintendent Hastings?
- No, no, I do not.
596
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,199
Said banknotes were detected
at a property
597
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,359
belonging to a Vihaan Malhotra.
598
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,279
Image 31.
599
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,719
Image 31 shows item reference JD5.
600
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,430
JD5 is a cache of banknotes
in the sum of £5,000
601
00:31:20,431 --> 00:31:23,279
detected at 17 Hazelton Street.
602
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,359
Said banknotes were detected
at a property
603
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,679
belonging to PS Jane Cafferty.
604
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,679
The similar pollen structures
detected on items JD5, JLM5
605
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,799
and MB2 indicate a 99.5%
probability the items
606
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,199
derive from the same original source.
607
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,879
I have not been bribed!
608
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,759
The 50 grand found in your hotel room
609
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,559
came from the same pot as that
used to bribe Vihaan Malhotra
610
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,239
and PS Jane Cafferty.
611
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,359
And, according to evidence
obtained by your own unit,
612
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,843
those individuals were in the pay
of the same organised crime group
613
00:31:53,844 --> 00:31:55,679
in which John Corbett was embedded.
614
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,999
I do not have a connection
with Malhotra or Cafferty.
615
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,999
- This bribe proves you do.
- No.
616
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,639
Was it an inducement or
a reward for telling Lee Banks
617
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,559
the identity of the undercover
officer within the OCG?
618
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,999
I disclosed nothing to Banks.
619
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,559
A disclosure which brought
about the murder of John Corbett.
620
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,879
No.
621
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,640
What was Corbett on to that you were
so desperate to keep hidden?
622
00:32:18,213 --> 00:32:19,573
I'll repeat the question.
623
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,679
What was John Corbett on to that you
were so desperate to keep hidden?
624
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,720
Look...
625
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,719
...you have fabricated a motive
where none existed.
626
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,740
Who would want John Corbett dead?
627
00:32:33,380 --> 00:32:35,439
- What do you mean?
- If you didn't, who would?
628
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,719
Well, clearly any individual
629
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,079
against whom John Corbett
might be gathering evidence,
630
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,946
including those members of the OCG
with whom he was embedded.
631
00:32:41,947 --> 00:32:44,039
Were there any specific
corrupt police officers
632
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,519
targeted by Operation Pear Tree?
633
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,519
- Not that I'm aware of.
- Mm.
634
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,039
Document 5 in your folders.
635
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,894
This is a copy of a document
seized by AC-12 on the...
636
00:32:54,919 --> 00:33:00,319
...23rd of February from the offices
of Operation Pear Tree.
637
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:05,380
I direct you to page 6, paragraph 6.
638
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,919
"It remains to be determined
639
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,719
"if police officers of senior
and/or executive rank

00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,639
"either as individuals

"A hypothesis to be examined

"of senior or executive rank."
646
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,799
- Do you recognise those words?
- Yes. Yes. I've read the file.
647
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,263
There's a hell of a lot of
ifs and buts in that.
648
00:33:30,264 --> 00:33:33,959
Page 6, paragraph 8,
"Detective Inspector Matthew Cottan,

Thank you, Tina.

Who's top dog, Dot?
653
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,400
Caddy. No, you're The Caddy.
We know that.
654
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,679
- Told...
- Told!
655
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,640
You told someone. Someone very senior?

Who? Come on, Dot.
659
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,640
Come in, he can't talk.
660
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,319
Right, blink with the first two
letters of his name.

I.

I'll start bagging.
672
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,300
Thank you, Tina.
673
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,879
In his dying declaration,
DI Cottan declared
674
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,639
that the name of the senior officer
675
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,060
commanding the complicity
with organised crime began with H.
676
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,279
Page 6, paragraph 8 continued,

00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,239
Well, the evidence against Hilton
was overwhelming.
684
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,759
Clearly, if any new evidence
came to light,
685
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,959
AC-12 would gladly investigate.
686
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,660
Has any other officer
ever been accused of being H?
687
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,119
I'll repeat the question.
688
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,439
Has any other senior officer
ever been accused of being H?
689
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,360
- Yes.
- Who?
690
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,239
The accusation was a calculated falsehood
691
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:33,079
designed to sabotage a lawful
anticorruption inquiry.
692
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,919
Who was accused?
693
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,005
In an effort to sabotage an AC-12 inquiry
694
00:35:38,006 --> 00:35:39,839
that was about to uncover
his own offences,
695
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,519
Assistant Chief Constable
Derek Hilton falsely accused
696
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,655
the Senior Investigating Officer,
in order to discredit AC-12,
697
00:35:48,656 --> 00:35:52,359
discredit the inquiry,
and to protect his own wrongdoing.
698
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,420
The SIO being who?
699
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,559
Myself.
700
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,399
To be clear, you were served with
a Regulation 15 Notice.
701
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,679
The allegation against Superintendent
Hastings was disproved.
702
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,079
It wasn't disproved.
703
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,399
There was insufficient evidence
to prove it.
704
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,319
- I'd argue they're the same thing.
- They're not. They're really not.
705
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,639
Detective Chief Superintendent,
better to save the commentary
706
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,620
and stick to asking questions.
707
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,559
Just saying.
708
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,210
Actually, while I've got your attention,
709
00:36:23,211 --> 00:36:26,551
I wonder if we can dig into this search
710
00:36:26,552 --> 00:36:28,919
of Superintendent Hastings' hotel room.
711
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,919
- This has all been covered.
- Not by me.
712
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,839
What were the grounds for the search?
713
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,360
Section 18.5.
714
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,693
Well, why then does
Document 12 in your folders,
715
00:36:42,694 --> 00:36:46,254
the arresting officer's report,
refer to Section 32
716
00:36:46,255 --> 00:36:48,799
as the legal power
used to carry out the search?
717
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,340
DI Brandyce?
718
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,199
The correct search form was supplied.
719
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,719
Afterwards, yes, but initially it seems
720
00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:00,239
that the officers at the scene of
Superintendent Hastings' arrest
721
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:01,759
were under the impression
722
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,919
that the search was being
carried out under Section 32.
723
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,329
You were there at that time,
724
00:37:06,354 --> 00:37:07,799
- weren't you?
- Yes.
725
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,220
So, under what power did you
carry out the search at the time?
726
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,100
There was some confusion.
727
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,020
I see that, DI Brandyce.
728
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,319
You carried out the search
under Section 32.
729
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,039
There's even the original
search form in the file.
730
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,120
Thank you.
731
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,959
As we all know,
732
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,639
Section 32 permits the search
of a premises
733
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,479
the detainee was at
either at the time of his arrest
734
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,599
or immediately prior to that arrest.
735
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,930
I refer to Document 13
in your folders, the statement
736
00:37:43,931 --> 00:37:47,439
given by Superintendent Hastings
on the 14th of March.
737
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,559
Superintendent Hastings states
that he travelled from this office,
738
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,439
Anticorruption Unit 12,
to the Edge Park Hotel.
739
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,839
Superintendent Hastings
wasn't in his hotel room
740
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,159
at the time of his arrest
or immediately prior.
741
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,999
Section 32 was the incorrect legal power.
742
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,959
This mistake was detected
and corrected only after the search.
743
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:14,079
As items MB1 and MB2 submitted in
evidence were detected unlawfully,
744
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,940
I can't see how the cache of £50,000
745
00:38:16,941 --> 00:38:20,039
can be used in evidence
against Superintendent Hastings.
746
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,919
Well, that is for a court to decide.
747
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,519
Given what I've heard, the judge
will almost certainly exclude it.
748
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,359
And it's the only evidence
that you've got
749
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,220
linking Superintendent Hastings
to organised crime.
750
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,069
I think we should call a temporary halt,
751
00:38:47,070 --> 00:38:49,919
giving my team time
to examine further evidence.
752
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,439
Mr Hastings,
you'll be returned to custody
753
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,279
and charged or released within
24 hours of your original arrest.
754
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,839
Approximately six hours.
755
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,580
Interview terminated.
756
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,480
- May I?
- Yes, yes, of course.
757
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,999
Gill, I don't know what to say.
758
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,359
I am not going to lie, Ted,
759
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,839
it is a good job that someone
was paying attention.
760
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,096
God knows where your solicitor
was during all that.
761
00:39:24,097 --> 00:39:26,239
Everything is in here in black and white.
762
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:28,599
I know, I don't know why
I didn't see it myself.
763
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,119
The idea that you are corrupt
is ridiculous.
764
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,039
Clearly Mark Moffatt's
lying about the money.
765
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,500
You don't have a bent bone in your body.
766
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,879
This'll all go away, Ted.
767
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:41,920
Trust me.
768
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,404
Thanks, Gill. Thank you.
769
00:39:45,429 --> 00:39:46,980
- Yeah.,
- Yeah.
770
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,840
DI Fleming, DS Arnott to see DSU Powell.
771
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,500
It's fine. I've got this.
772
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,640
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am.
773
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,319
Detective Superintendent Alison Powell
774
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,839
with DI Fleming, DS Arnott, AC-12.
775
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,839
Confirm that you grant permission
for this recording.
776
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,959
- DI Fleming, confirmed.
- DS Arnott, confirmed.
777
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,279
We'd like to fill in some background
on how John Corbett was recruited.
778
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,639
How was Corbett assigned as the UCO?
779
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,839
John was one of a number of
candidates considered for the role.
780
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,319
He presented with a distinguished record
781
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,639
of successful operations
against organised crime.
782
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,999
Did he come to you first, ma'am?
Did he volunteer?
783
00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:45,240
What are you getting at, DI Fleming?
784
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,300
It's a straight question, ma'am.
785
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,359
There was a short list.
The candidates were evaluated.
786
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,759
Corbett was selected as
the right officer for the job.
787
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,260
Who selected him?
788
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,060
Look,
789
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,799
I made the recommendations
on Corbett, this was my operation,
790
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,560
but you can't put all of this on me,
I wasn't the only person involved.
791
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,160
Who else was involved
in selecting Corbett?
792
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,800
This is off the record.
793
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,919
How long have we got?
794
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,079
Just a few hours.
795
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,980
Going to have to blue-light it.
796
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,319
We just got the e-mail.
797
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,184
I'm calling for authentication. Thanks.
798
00:41:43,185 --> 00:41:46,119
Edward Hastings, new evidence
against you has come to light.
799
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,559
This evidence will be submitted
in written form
800
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,759
and you and your solicitor
will have four hours
801
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,319
to consider this evidence.
802
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,559
- What new evidence?
- Great, thanks.
803
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,119
Pending further investigation,
804
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,199
I'll be seeking an extension of 12 hours
805
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,759
to your permitted custody time.
806
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,439
- What evidence?
- Take him to the cells.
807
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,420
Come on, Ted, we should do as they say.
808
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,880
- Thank you, Tina.
- Ma'am.
809
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,820
Looks like we've got him, ma'am.
810
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,320
You nearly cost me this case.
811
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,679
I'll be expecting your transfer request
812
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,000
first thing in the morning.
813
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,959
Mrs Corbett.
814
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,519
We've got a new line of inquiry,
we need your urgent help with it.
815
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,159
May we come in please?
816
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,320
- Yeah, come in.
- Thanks.
817
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:03,960
Subject is in the building. Repeat,
the subject is in the building.
818
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,120
This must be awful for you, Ted.
819
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,919
Resuming interview of Edward Hastings.
820
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,119
You remain under caution.
821
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,799
Have you had an opportunity
to consider with your solicitor
822
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,640
the new documents disclosed to you?
823
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:41,759
I have.
824
00:44:42,660 --> 00:44:43,992
Edward Hastings,
825
00:44:43,993 --> 00:44:46,159
when was the last time you were
in contact with John Corbett?
826
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,679
Never.
827
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,399
And have you ever been near enough
828
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,479
to make physical contact
with John Corbett?
829
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,080
Never.
830
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,759
I'll ask you again.
831
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,239
When were you last in physical
contact with John Corbett?
832
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:00,999
I only ever saw the fella once.
833
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,976
It was across a very busy street
834
00:45:02,977 --> 00:45:06,719
during an AC-12 surveillance operation.
835
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:08,439
It must have been 100 yards away.
836
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,602
As you'll have seen
in the disclosure documents,
837
00:45:10,603 --> 00:45:12,879
specifically Document 106
in your folders,
838
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,199
forensic examination
of John Corbett's body
839
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,879
has detected human hairs
not belonging to him.
840
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,079
Said hairs were attached
to follicular cells
841
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,119
which permitted DNA analysis.
842
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,159
The DNA found in these follicular cells
843
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,639
matches that of a person
on the police database
844
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,039
who is a police officer
who has submitted a DNA sample
845
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,879
for routine elimination
from crime scene contamination.
846
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,159
As you know from the documents
disclosed to you,
847
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,999
the DNA deposits detected
on John Corbett's body
848
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,479
match your elimination samples.
849
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,799
I've never been within
100 yards of John Corbett.
850
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,359
Your DNA was found on his body.
851
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,919
Can you explain this finding?
852
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,599
I can't! It must have been planted!
853
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,159
As a result of this evidence,
I have been in consultation
854
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,559
with the Senior Prosecutor
in the Complex Case Unit.
855
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:56,799
I did not kill Corbett!
856
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,679
She is satisfied that
the evidence against you
857
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,119
is sufficient to charge you
with the murder of John Corbett.
858
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,639
No, I'm being framed!
859
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,897
I'd now like to move on
to examine your motive
860
00:46:04,898 --> 00:46:06,305
for murdering John Corbett.
861
00:46:06,333 --> 00:46:08,055
I did not murder Corbett!
862
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,559
May I ask, given the gravity of
the murder charge,
863
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,039
why are you continuing?
864
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,383
I have been tasked with investigating
865
00:46:14,384 --> 00:46:15,945
the highest level of corruption
866
00:46:15,946 --> 00:46:17,559
between police officers
and organised crime,
867
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,279
- the highest level.
- I am not corrupt!
868
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,679
I'm the one who's leading
the fight against corruption!
869
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:28,820
The highest level is
the individual codenamed H.
870
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,429
Significantly, Cottan led AC-12's inquiry
871
00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:35,279
into the identity of the police officer
872
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,279
believed to be the intermediary
for organised crime,
873
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,719
codenamed The Caddy.
874
00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:42,119
The Caddy was identified
as being Cottan himself.
875
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,559
Superintendent Hastings was
the Senior Investigating Officer
876
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,920
on the inquiry into H.
877
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,039
I see an interesting parallel there.
878
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,359
No, no. There's no parallel there.
I'm not H.
879
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,839
Still, there was
an allegation that you were.
880
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,041
Why were you so reluctant to entrust
the investigation
881
00:47:00,042 --> 00:47:01,768
into an independent anticorruption unit?
882
00:47:01,793 --> 00:47:02,879
I wasn't.
883
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,100
Why did you shoot Robert Denmoor?
884
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,731
Image 76 on screen.
Image 76 shows Robert Denmoor,
885
00:47:10,732 --> 00:47:13,959
a violent criminal with known
associations to organised crime.
886
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,599
Denmoor was incriminated in a plot
887
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,959
to tamper with evidence
in Operation Trapdoor.
888
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,439
Denmoor was shot
dead by Superintendent Hastings
889
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,599
on the ground floor of AC-12's
headquarters on the 4th of May 2017.
890
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,079
Yeah, Denmoor posed an immediate
threat to life
891
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,839
and lethal force was required
to stop him.
892
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:34,039
Therefore the Coroner recorded
a finding of lawful killing.
893
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,679
The official report records there
were a dozen AFOs on the scene,
894
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,159
and none of them opened fire.
895
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,679
In fact, according to the report,
896
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,219
you snatched a firearm
from a wounded AFO.
897
00:47:43,244 --> 00:47:44,311
Yeah, I did.
898
00:47:44,312 --> 00:47:47,079
The fatal round discharged by you
prevented questioning of Denmoor.
899
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,199
Prevented the loss of life.
900
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:50,879
Denmoor would have been a key witness
901
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,159
who could have confirmed Hilton as H.
902
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,879
- Yes.
- Or excluded him.
903
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,319
Yes, also.
904
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,439
You were prepared to lose
that priceless evidence,
905
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,759
the same judgment you demonstrated
on the 12th of March
906
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,399
when you ordered DS Arnott to deploy
lethal force against John Corbett.
907
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:05,959
Look, I told you, Corbett was armed,
908
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,519
he was responsible for the death
of Maneet Bindra,
909
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:09,599
Lester Hargreaves,
910
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,879
I gave the order to
safeguard my officer's life!
911
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,547
Corbett was notifying DS Arnott
of a meeting
912
00:48:15,548 --> 00:48:18,159
with a high-ranking nominal
who could well have been H.
913
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,719
Corbett was a liar.
914
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:23,079
He was playing games with all of us.
915
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,679
He was a decorated undercover officer
916
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,039
whose courageous actions in the past
had brought to justice
917
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,359
hardened members of
organised criminal groups.
918
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,319
Corbett gave DS Arnott alone
the details of the meeting with H.
919
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:33,359
He did.
920
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,439
You ordered DS Arnott
to disclose those details?
921
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,599
You're damn right I did,
I was his commanding officer,
922
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,639
for Christ's sake.
What the hell's going on here?
923
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,759
And at said meeting, the same day,
the 12th of March,
924
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,835
at the Palisades Shopping Centre,
what happened then?
925
00:48:43,836 --> 00:48:46,519
- No meeting took place.
- Why do you think that was?
926
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,959
Well, Corbett was about to be
apprehended by AC-12.
927
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,759
I suspect that he, you know, lied
about the meeting at the Palisades
928
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,239
to secure his own escape.
929
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:57,260
Or he was telling the truth
and the information was leaked to H.
930
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,660
We detected no evidence of a leak.
931
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,439
We examined your personal
communications records
932
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:06,999
and found no suspicious calls.
933
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,199
However I do need you to account
for two unexplained findings.
934
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,039
We've detected activity
in the vicinity of AC-12
935
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,599
on unregistered mobile phones,
936
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,319
so-called burner phones
used for illicit communications.
937
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,799
We've identified a specific
burner phone. Tina, thank you.
938
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,759
Document 92.
Document 92 is a call history
939
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:32,162
of an unregistered mobile, 07700900856.
940
00:49:32,163 --> 00:49:33,799
The device shows clusters of activity
941
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,839
in the vicinity of AC-12
over the last six weeks
942
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,679
and also engaged in communication
with other burner phones.
943
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,839
Cross checking with door entry
download data
944
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,879
reveals only one AC-12 officer
was present in the building
945
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,639
on every occasion 07700900856
was detected.
946
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,479
That officer was
Superintendent Edward Hastings.
947
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:58,534
Is 07700900856 your phone?
948
00:49:58,535 --> 00:49:59,759
No, it is not.
949
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,279
- Did you dispose of the phone?
- There was never a phone.
950
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,320
Have you ever disposed
of a communications device?
951
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,079
- Tina.
- Document 24.
952
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,466
Document 24 shows screenshots
from a laptop
953
00:50:13,467 --> 00:50:15,759
forensically recovered
from the Flicker nightclub
954
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,279
used by Lisa McQueen and
John Corbett to communicate with H.
955
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,279
As we can see,
H issued his orders via text.
956
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,326
I'll repeat the question.
Have you ever disposed
957
00:50:25,327 --> 00:50:27,119
- of a communications device?
- No.
958
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,719
- PS Tranter, thank you.
- As stated by DCS Carmichael,
959
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:32,319
we examined the communication
history of Edward Hastings.
960
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,799
Document 28 in your folders
is said communication history
961
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,119
relating to your personal
registered mobile telephone
962
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,919
and your work registered
mobile telephone.
963
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,279
From these phones we've been able
to harvest location data.
964
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,919
We detected suspicious behaviour
on the 5th of March.
965
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,239
Location data places both phones
at the Edge Park Hotel
966
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:53,639
around 15:00 hours that day.
967
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,399
The user then switches off both
phones for the rest of the day.
968
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,359
When location data resumes
the next day, the 6th of March,
969
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,959
the phones are back
in the Edge Park Hotel.
970
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,559
Why did you switch off your phones?
971
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,479
I... I really don't recall.
972
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,239
Do you recall the significance
of that date, the 5th of March?
973
00:51:11,240 --> 00:51:13,719
- No.
- That night,
974
00:51:13,720 --> 00:51:16,559
the OCG carried out an armed robbery
at the Eastfield Depot,
975
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,079
making away with seized goods
976
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,519
with an estimated street value
of £50 million.
977
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,439
Yeah, OK, look, I'm sorry.
978
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,999
I mean,
the date must have slipped my mind.
979
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,279
Where were you from 15:00 hours
on the 5th of March?
980
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,519
Well, I remained...
981
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,799
I remained in and around
the Edge Park Hotel,
982
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,919
on standby for developments
for AC-12's surveillance operation
983
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,759
on the Eastfield Depot.
984
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,279
This was a hugely important operation.
985
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,479
Wasn't it essential
that you be contactable?
986
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,959
Well, I... We'd established
a direct line of communication
987
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:53,239
through Airwave radio and I had
direct dial access to my officers.
988
00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:55,639
My own works phone was redundant.
989
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,940
Why didn't you attend
the operation in person?
990
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,279
To ensure operational independence.
991
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:06,159
DI Fleming, she acted as
the Tactical Firearms Commander
992
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,159
under an independent
Strategic Firearms Commander.
993
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,599
The result being that
your whereabouts were unknown
994
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,479
until you made contact via an
Airwave radio much later that night.
995
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,079
That's neither here nor there.
996
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,119
We attempted to trace your movements
on the 5th of March.
997
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,639
Tina, thank you.
998
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,959
Starting from a radius of 100 metres
around the Edge Park Hotel,
999
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,999
we examined CCTV and traffic cameras.
1000
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,479
Image 32.
1001
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:28,880
Who's seen in this image?
1002
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:31,519
Me.
1003
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,200
What's the package you're carrying?
1004
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,839
I'm reserving comment.
1005
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,519
We were able to trace the taxi's journey
1006
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,039
to a drop-off point
in the Moss Heath area.
1007
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,759
Again, we examined CCTV cameras
in a 100-metre radius.
1008
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,479
Image 33.
1009
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,100
Who's seen in this image?
1010
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,199
Me.
1011
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,060
What are you doing in this image?
1012
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,079
We know from the recovered laptop
from the nightclub
1013
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,839
that the OCG communicated with H
via online messaging.
1014
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,602
Examination of the OCG laptop's
hard drive
1015
00:53:10,603 --> 00:53:16,185
revealed a sophisticated
re-routing system via various VPNs
1016
00:53:16,186 --> 00:53:18,613
to disguise H's IP address.
1017
00:53:18,614 --> 00:53:21,359
And while we're still unable
to determine H's location,
1018
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,119
we know for certain that
the hard drive of the computer
1019
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,879
would contain metadata
proving it was used
1020
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,759
to communicate with the OCG.
1021
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:33,620
Evidence that he would take
great pains to... dispose of.
1022
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:51,240
OK.
1023
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,140
Well, we shall come back to it.
1024
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,359
As we've established, the night
of the 5th of March
1025
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,440
saw the OCG robbery
at the Eastfield Depot.
1026
00:54:03,441 --> 00:54:05,266
At 22:40 hours that night,
1027
00:54:05,267 --> 00:54:08,256
a status zero radio call was
made by PC Kieran Bloom
1028
00:54:08,257 --> 00:54:10,519
requesting urgent assistance
to Farmer's Lane.
1029
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,879
How did you respond
to that emergency call?
1030
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,759
The Authorised Firearms Officers
who were giving assistance
1031
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,319
to the AC-12 surveillance
of the Eastfield Depot
1032
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,359
were the nearest armed response unit.
1033
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,999
And so given our responsibility
towards preserving life,
1034
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,919
I authorised the AFOs
to render assistance.
1035
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,477
As a result of your actions,
the OCG were able to flee Eastfield
1036
00:54:33,478 --> 00:54:36,479
with £50 million worth of seized goods.
1037
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,279
My decision was based on saving
police officers' lives.
1038
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,719
Priceless, I would say.
1039
00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:45,759
H would have wanted the robbery
to succeed, wouldn't he,
1040
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,919
so that he could have
shared in the proceeds?
1041
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,680
That's hypothetical.
1042
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,599
You went to a nightclub
known to be an OCG haunt,
1043
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,919
in the hope of effecting a meeting,
without independent authorisation.
1044
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:03,119
Yeah, well, look...
You know, they'd killed Maneet,
1045
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,879
they'd murdered Lester Hargreaves,
they'd held up the Eastfield depot.
1046
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,679
- Time was running out.
- You pretended to be H
1047
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,119
successfully enough for the OCG
to share with you
1048
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,572
the proceeds of the Eastfield Robbery.
1049
00:55:14,573 --> 00:55:17,599
No. I was using them to find out
where the proceeds were hidden.
1050
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,018
Who better to impersonate
H than H himself?
1051
00:55:20,019 --> 00:55:23,690
No. That is not what was happening!
It's like I told you,
1052
00:55:23,691 --> 00:55:25,719
look, time was running out.
I was desperate.
1053
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:27,999
Well, it's convenient
to rationalise all this
1054
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,239
as the desperation of a failing SIO.
1055
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:32,119
But before we do,
1056
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,919
let's consider the communications
made between Corbett and you
1057
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,519
via a computer link. Tina.
1058
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,959
Document 105 in your folders
and on screen.
1059
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,639
Document 105 is a transcript
of a written message composed by you
1060
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,760
and transmitted on the evening
of the 12th of March.
1061
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,879
Please look at line 3, which reads,
1062
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,879
"I can definately pull
the right strings."
1063
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,999
Note the misspelling of "definitely".
1064
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,239
Going back to earlier messages
believed to have been written by H,
1065
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:03,439
please look at the message
transmitted on the 3rd of March,
1066
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,639
"Eastfield Depot is definately high
risk." Again, note the misspelling.
1067
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,279
How closely had you studied
the messages by H?
1068
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,519
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Quite closely.
1069
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,679
Closely enough to duplicate the
misspelling of this particular word?
1070
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,359
Yes.
1071
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,097
You're the SIO on one of the biggest
anticorruption operations
1072
00:56:21,098 --> 00:56:22,359
this force has ever seen,
1073
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:26,239
and you have the headspace
to learn to spell like H?
1074
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:27,719
Yes.
1075
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:30,639
Isn't it more likely that you
inadvertently misspelled this word?
1076
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,202
- No.
- No? Isn't it more likely
1077
00:56:32,227 --> 00:56:33,799
that you made the same mistake as H
1078
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,700
- because you are H?
- I am not H.
1079
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:41,919
Looking at another part
of the impersonated message
1080
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,119
you composed, line 4, "I need you
to bring all this to a close."
1081
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,679
What did you mean by that?
1082
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,759
What H meant was that
the Eastfield goods were a liability
1083
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,839
and needed to be taken
out of the country quickly.
1084
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,199
It could imply another meaning,
1085
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,399
that you were giving the order
to execute John Corbett.
1086
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,519
No! Absolutely not!
1087
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,999
What private material was stored
on the hard drive
1088
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,919
of the laptop computer that
you erased on the 5th of March?
1089
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,919
No, it's not relevant to this inquiry.
1090
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,719
If we'd been able to find H's computer,
1091
00:57:06,720 --> 00:57:07,999
we'd have the proof we needed.
1092
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,279
You disposed of your computer
because you knew that.
1093
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,228
That it would prove beyond all
reasonable doubt that you are H.
1094
00:57:13,229 --> 00:57:14,176
No.
1095
00:57:14,201 --> 00:57:16,540
Then why did you dispose of the computer?
1096
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,340
I was looking at pornography.
1097
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,159
Nothing illegal, nothing extreme.
1098
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,919
I just did not want it to be found.
1099
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,359
That's all.
1100
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:34,999
Nothing illegal or extreme,
1101
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,319
but you went to the lengths
of disposing of the computer?
1102
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,239
Look, it was private stuff,
so, you know...
1103
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,839
My wife has left me, and...
1104
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,086
Jesus Christ.
1105
00:57:44,087 --> 00:57:46,559
Look, I really don't want to discuss it.
1106
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,159
And after you entered the nightclub
as part of your...
1107
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,181
...unauthorised undercover operation,
1108
00:57:53,182 --> 00:57:55,759
you were next located where
the Eastfield goods
1109
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,239
were being concealed.
1110
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,199
It was pure chance,
an active burner phone
1111
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,159
inadvertently left on by an OCG member,
1112
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:02,279
that meant you were found.
1113
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,079
We could be forgiven for thinking
that you didn't want to be found.
1114
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,719
No, that's simply not true.
1115
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,679
The net was closing in. Your
identity was slowly being unmasked.
1116
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,699
You reunited with the OCG
in order to share in the profits
1117
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:15,718
of the Eastfield robbery.
1118
00:58:15,719 --> 00:58:17,320
Look, no... Look, look...
1119
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:23,239
I had risked my life and my career
in order to catch them.
1120
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,239
The two most precious things
to me in the whole world,
1121
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,599
I laid them on the line,
1122
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,239
because I was so determined,
1123
00:58:31,639 --> 00:58:35,399
and I was so desperate
that AC-12 would not fail.
1124
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,159
Do you know, one thing
I keep going back to
1125
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:43,007
is that dying declaration
by DI Cottan. Tina, thank you.
1126
00:58:43,008 --> 00:58:45,599
Cottan, your own officer,
named the top man as H.
1127
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,439
And now, finally, there's
overwhelming evidence that H is you.
1128
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,159
I'm not H.
1129
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,429
John Corbett was proving
1130
00:58:52,454 --> 00:58:53,914
- the trail led to your door.
- No.
1131
00:58:53,915 --> 00:58:55,000
That's why you had John Corbett
1132
00:58:55,025 --> 00:58:56,079
- murdered.
- No.
1133
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,181
You ordered DS Arnott to shoot him dead.
1134
00:58:58,182 --> 00:58:59,759
- No.
- And when that plan failed,
1135
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,559
you visited Lee Banks
in Blackthorn Prison
1136
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,359
and revealed to him that Corbett
was an undercover police officer.
1137
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,039
- No. No.
- But killing Corbett wasn't enough.
1138
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,519
You needed to know what
he had on you, didn't you?
1139
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:10,835
- No.
- And that was the biggest mistake
1140
00:59:10,860 --> 00:59:12,039
that you made.
1141
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,759
Because in the final meeting
with Corbett,
1142
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,359
before you slashed his throat
1143
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,319
and dumped him at the breakers yard,
1144
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,038
one of your hairs
contaminated Corbett's body.
1145
00:59:21,039 --> 00:59:22,220
NO!
1146
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,639
Edward Hastings, H,
1147
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,239
I have been in consultation with
the Senior Prosecutor
1148
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,279
at the Complex Case Unit and
I will now go back to her
1149
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,519
seeking authority to charge you
with the murder of John Corbett,
1150
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,679
conspiracy to commit armed robbery
and malfeasance in a public office.
1151
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,319
I think it might be helpful
1152
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,359
if Mr Hastings is given some time
with his solicitor.
1153
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:45,600
Fine by me.
1154
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,679
Thank you, Tina, well done.
1155
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:49,960
Ma'am.
1156
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,360
Interview terminated at 21:46.
1157
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,720
Where's the AFOs?
1158
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:09,959
Kyle?
1159
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,399
Ma'am.
1160
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,867
I thought there was meant to be
armed support
1161
01:00:12,868 --> 01:00:15,119
while the gaffer was being interviewed?
1162
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,199
Looks like it's been scaled back.
1163
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,559
It'll be down to other
operational commitments.
1164
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,220
- Always is.
- OK.
1165
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,879
You've got to hand it to Carmichael.
1166
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,679
There's a lot stacking up.
1167
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,867
And that's with setting aside
1168
01:00:36,868 --> 01:00:38,919
the bundle of cash in your hotel room.
1169
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,560
- Which I was about to return!
- All of it?
1170
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,911
Moffatt denies any knowledge of the money
1171
01:00:45,912 --> 01:00:48,239
so nobody's put the exact sum to him.
1172
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,479
But according to the files,
the amount required to buy in
1173
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,260
to the property development
wasn't 50 grand...
1174
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,839
...it was 100.
1175
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:01,540
Now, if there is another
50 grand somewhere...
1176
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,740
...eventually someone's going to find it.
1177
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,759
Now, I'm on your side, Ted.
1178
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,799
But if I was on a jury,
1179
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,559
I'd say this all looks damning.
1180
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,519
Now, I'm confident I can talk
the PCC into
1181
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,559
applying political pressure to
suppress Carmichael's investigation.
1182
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,679
Much better to blow our trumpets
about recovering the stolen goods
1183
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,820
and neutralising the OCG.
1184
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,799
You'll have to accept a misconduct charge
1185
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,759
for carrying out unauthorised operations
1186
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,119
and resign from the force.
1187
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,460
No doubt AC-12 will be disbanded.
1188
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,679
Thank you, yes, the threshold tests
have been met definitely.
1189
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,119
What's going on?
1190
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,320
The DCS is on to the Crown Prosecutor.
1191
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,520
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am.
1192
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,520
- DS Arnott.
- DI Fleming.
1193
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,159
Well, the last thing I need right
now is another knife in me back.
1194
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,119
That was never our intention, sir.
1195
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,580
Yeah? Funny way of showing it.
1196
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,039
We've been making inquiries
into some of the gaps
1197
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,119
in our understanding of Corbett's
involvement in Operation Pear Tree.
1198
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,559
Yeah. Under whose orders? Hers?
1199
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,599
No, sir, on our own.
1200
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,340
We're just trying to find the truth.
1201
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,399
What's going on?
1202
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,531
We've gathered further information
that may be relevant
1203
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:28,039
- to your inquiry.
- You can brief me in private.
1204
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,559
If it's OK with you, ma'am,
we intend to share our findings
1205
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,719
with Superintendent Hastings
and his solicitor.
1206
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,999
His solicitor is making calls.
1207
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,239
Yeah, well, they've come to talk to me
1208
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,119
and I'd like to hear what
they've got to say.
1209
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,340
Quite right. It's up to you
if you want to be in on it or not.
1210
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,799
Operation Pear Tree
was originally authorised
1211
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,439
following an instruction
from Rohan Sindwhani,
1212
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,279
the Police and Crime Commissioner.
1213
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:56,639
Sindwhani had made an election
promise to tackle police corruption.
1214
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,319
The specific remit of Pear Tree
is to examine whether complicity
1215
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,999
between organised crime
and police officers
1216
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,479
has been institutionalised in this force.
1217
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,279
Detective Superintendent Alison Powell,
1218
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,159
having no connection to Central Police,
1219
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:10,839
was brought in to lead Pear Tree.
1220
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,039
Powell identified suitable
undercover officers
1221
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,119
from outside forces
1222
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,439
and submitted their CVs to
Deputy Chief Constable Andrea Wise.
1223
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,159
Following a consultation process,
1224
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,319
John Corbett was selected to be the UCO.
1225
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,519
Bear in mind, Corbett's background
was available to be examined
1226
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:25,879
as part of the process.
1227
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,719
This was before his service record
was erased from the database
1228
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,479
and large portions of the Pear Tree
files were redacted.
1229
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,068
DSU Powell informed us
1230
01:03:34,069 --> 01:03:36,999
that PCC Sindwhani took no part
in the selection process,
1231
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,079
but it was agreed
his Senior Legal Counsel
1232
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:40,639
would act on his behalf.
1233
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,281
I don't need to remind everyone
1234
01:03:42,282 --> 01:03:45,559
there's been controversies
surrounding undercover operations.
1235
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:50,719
The PCC required assurances that
Pear Tree was legally watertight.
1236
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,479
According to DSU Powell,
1237
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,039
the Senior Legal Counsel
strongly favoured Corbett
1238
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,719
and was instrumental in selecting him.
1239
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,689
Corbett had a distinguished record
1240
01:04:00,690 --> 01:04:02,519
handling the perils of being embedded
1241
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,439
inside an organised crime group.
1242
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,079
He was by far the best man for the job.
1243
01:04:07,740 --> 01:04:11,839
Ms Biggeloe, when did you first
become aware of John Corbett?
1244
01:04:12,260 --> 01:04:16,860
When we looked at the files
to select an undercover officer.
1245
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,039
Gill Biggeloe, you do not have to
say anything
1246
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,510
but it may harm your defence if you
do not mention when questioned
1247
01:04:22,511 --> 01:04:23,863
something you later rely on in court.
1248
01:04:23,864 --> 01:04:26,280
Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.
1249
01:04:32,773 --> 01:04:33,973
OK.
1250
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:36,879
Well, given that the DIR's off,
1251
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,919
I'd like to make my own
personal recording.
1252
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,479
Any objections?
1253
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,999
I think we need to take
a step back, actually.
1254
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,359
Recording on.
1255
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,559
If you could kindly bear with us, ma'am.
1256
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,900
Ms Biggeloe, did you
ever meet John Corbett?
1257
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,319
I refer you to my previous response.
1258
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:56,719
DS Arnott.
1259
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,185
As part of our inquiry,
we interviewed Corbett's widow,
1260
01:04:59,186 --> 01:05:01,079
Stephanie. On the first occasion,
1261
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,839
she confirmed Corbett's
upbringing in Northern Ireland.
1262
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,629
Following our interview with DSU Powell,
1263
01:05:05,630 --> 01:05:08,359
we went back to Mrs Corbett
with some specific questions
1264
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,439
regarding John Corbett's recruitment
to Operation Pear Tree.
1265
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,799
We managed to convince her to
cooperate with our inquiry
1266
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,919
and reveal hitherto undisclosed evidence.
1267
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,079
Following a lawful search
of the family home
1268
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:20,759
under Mrs Corbett's guidance,
1269
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,199
we recovered items concealed
by her husband.
1270
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,759
Among the items was
an audio recording of a meeting
1271
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,839
between John Corbett and Gill Biggeloe
1272
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,639
which took place in January 2018,
1273
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,319
a full month before the inception
of Operation Pear Tree.
1274
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,959
Well, if such a recording exists,
it's inadmissible.
1275
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,559
That is correct that if acting
on official police business,
1276
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:43,156
Corbett would have required
authorisation from Ripa.
1277
01:05:43,157 --> 01:05:46,039
Yeah, well, he wasn't acting on
official police business,
1278
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,279
and I can assure you that
my legal team and I
1279
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:49,799
will move heaven and Earth
1280
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,300
so that this particular recording
will be heard in court.
1281
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,679
Playing recording.
1282
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,599
The RUC officer who betrayed your mother,
1283
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,340
his name's Hastings.
1284
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,940
Superintendent Ted Hastings.
1285
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,759
He's a Super now. That's taking the piss.
1286
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,439
How do you know all this?
1287
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,879
From a private investigator who's
been looking into Hastings' past.
1288
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,159
It's all in the file, chapter and verse.
1289
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:22,839
You read it and then tell me
how you feel about my proposal.
1290
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,580
I'm in. Tell me now.
1291
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,480
We're setting up an undercover
operation to prove he's bent.
1292
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,679
To finally bring down the man
1293
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,759
who had your mother killed.
1294
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,999
And it's definitely him, Hastings?
1295
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,040
Yeah.
1296
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,839
Gill Biggeloe sought incriminating
material on Superintendent Hastings
1297
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,425
and then used it to manipulate
John Corbett
1298
01:06:46,426 --> 01:06:50,200
into believing
Superintendent Hastings is H.
1299
01:06:52,380 --> 01:06:53,740
Why, Gill?
1300
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,359
It's complicated.
1301
01:07:03,627 --> 01:07:04,867
We've got time.
1302
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,260
Actually, you don't.
1303
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,960
I'm TFC! Guns down. Stand by!
1304
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,879
OK. We need to shut
this building down right now.
1305
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,180
- Guns down now!
- Do as he says.
1306
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,319
TFC now. Received, moving in.
1307
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:25,879
Guns down.
1308
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:27,599
Hands where we can see them.
1309
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,020
- Hands above your head.
- Who authorised this?
1310
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,999
We detected apparent security lapses
on entering the building.
1311
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,879
The SFC authorised us to deploy firearms.
1312
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,600
All your AFOs are being
disarmed as a precaution.
1313
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:47,439
This burner phone,
1314
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,559
it isn't the same burner phone
that I've been accused of owning,
1315
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,679
by any chance, Tina, is it?
1316
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,599
Tina, the number.
1317
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:59,220
07700900856.
1318
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:05,479
Oh, yeah.
1319
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:06,959
There it is.
1320
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,239
You see Gill only ever visited me
when she came to AC-12.
1321
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,300
That's how you mistook
this phone for mine.
1322
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,900
TFC, 6-4, any obs on OCG?
1323
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,540
6-4, no contact yet, stand by.
1324
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,519
Looks like the cavalry's
not coming over the hill.
1325
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,199
Yeah, the last time Dot Cottan
sent that message out,
1326
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,879
he was busted out in a couple of seconds.
1327
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,399
Looks like you're not as valuable as him.
1328
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,119
Or as valuable as you thought you were.
1329
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,079
As valuable to who exactly?
1330
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,199
Well, Gill told me that
she was a defence solicitor.
1331
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,719
You're going to meet a lot of
shady types doing that job.
1332
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:50,839
So you get some major piece of work
off a serious criminal charge,
1333
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,839
they put you on a retainer.
1334
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,519
But these retainers, they come with
strings attached, don't they, Gill?
1335
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,460
But I suspect that she was
enticed by the glamour.
1336
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:01,879
Why frame the gaffer?
1337
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,479
It's always more palatable
to offer up a rotten apple
1338
01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:07,919
than to uncover
institutionalised corruption.
1339
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:13,199
And as AC-12 have been a constant
thorn in the side of the OCG,
1340
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:17,040
what better rotten apple than their
commanding officer, right, Gill?
1341
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,400
The money in the hotel room,
where did that come from?
1342
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,359
I bet you asked some of
your little criminal mates
1343
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,239
to slip that through to Moffatt,
am I right?
1344
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,199
There's damning DNA evidence
against Superintendent Hastings.
1345
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:38,320
Hardly damning, a couple
of hair follicles? Come on.
1346
01:09:43,566 --> 01:09:44,926
Hang on.
1347
01:09:46,953 --> 01:09:48,953
Don't tell me, was that your doing, Gill?
1348
01:09:50,166 --> 01:09:51,605
Don't worry, Ted,
1349
01:09:51,630 --> 01:09:54,350
I'll spare your blushes
in front of everyone.
1350
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,580
Gill used the bathroom of my hotel room.
1351
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,199
She must have taken some hairs
out of the comb,
1352
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:07,540
passed them on to the OCG and
they planted them on Corbett's body.
1353
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:10,720
Who killed Corbett?
1354
01:10:11,919 --> 01:10:13,399
Did you give the order?
1355
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,359
We all know confessing
to conspiracy to murder
1356
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:23,460
will make me ineligible
for immunity from prosecution.
1357
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:28,412
And the institutionalised
complicity between organised crime
1358
01:10:28,413 --> 01:10:30,340
and corrupt police officers?
1359
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:33,439
Have you not been listening, love?
1360
01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:35,279
There's no such thing.
1361
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,160
I'm just one rotten apple.
1362
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,799
Well, never mind betraying me, Gill.
1363
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:43,559
Never mind framing me.
What about John Corbett?
1364
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,300
I mean, you let him believe
that he was chasing the truth.
1365
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,559
Justice for his mother,
1366
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,879
for Christ's sake, for Anne-Marie.
1367
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,199
But instead he was chasing a lie.
1368
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:56,919
You set it running,
1369
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,719
then you sat around as you watched
the dogs rip it apart.
1370
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,620
A tragic, senseless death.
1371
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,359
3-7, 6-4, sit rep.
1372
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,580
6-4, still no obs.
1373
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:16,300
Received.
1374
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,319
Ma'am, it appears we no longer need
to defend ourselves
1375
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:20,919
against a threat in this building.
1376
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:22,319
I suggest we make arrangements
1377
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,119
to transport
Miss Biggeloe to custody ASAP.
1378
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:26,599
Agreed.
1379
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,319
- I'll take care of that, ma'am.
- Thank you, Tina.
1380
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,559
Gill Biggeloe,
you are under arrest for perverting
1381
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,640
the course of justice
and misconduct in a public office.
1382
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,300
Sir, I'd advise you
get out the building too.
1383
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,220
Yeah. Thank you, Kate.
1384
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,839
I'm afraid I'm going to have to cuff you.
1385
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,319
Could be a trek to custody. You
might want to do a loo break now.
1386
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:54,999
Thank you.
1387
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,360
Going to have to come with you,
I'm sorry.
1388
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,199
- 3-7, 6-4.
- 6-4 receiving.
1389
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,039
We're sending down DCS Carmichael
and the gaffer.
1390
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,119
We'll keep Gill Biggeloe up here
until we can provide escort.
1391
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,540
- 6-4, received.
- Thanks, you two.
1392
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:12,679
I don't know what to say.
1393
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,439
You're welcome, sir.
1394
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:15,940
Just doing our job.
1395
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,740
It's a damn sight more than that.
1396
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:24,760
I could murder a cuppa.
1397
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:10,639
Ah!
1398
01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:15,760
Help!
1399
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:24,480
Drop it!
1400
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,799
Alpha Charlie 3-7, request urgent casevac
1401
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:32,399
from AC-12 for two persons,
1402
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,679
one low-velocity GSW, one knife wound.
1403
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,359
- Gill, are you all right?
- Yeah.
1404
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:38,620
Steve.
1405
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,180
Steve, are you all right?
1406
01:13:43,526 --> 01:13:45,006
I never shot anybody.
1407
01:13:52,440 --> 01:13:56,560
Can you confirm, premises now secure?
1408
01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,799
Yes, confirmed.
1409
01:14:05,806 --> 01:14:07,086
Do you think she'll talk?
1410
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,119
She'll want to make a deal.
1411
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,900
Too fond of the finer things
to do a prison stretch.
1412
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,639
The OCG didn't think Gill
was worth saving,
1413
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,000
but someone gave the order
to stop her talking.
1414
01:14:33,526 --> 01:14:34,966
Who?
1415
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,460
What is it?
1416
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,680
Out of the way.
1417
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,520
I'll start bagging, respiratory arrest...
1418
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,719
Gone through my solicitor,
and she's advised me
1419
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,719
to cooperate with your inquiry
1420
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,759
but it all depends if there's
definitely immunity
1421
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,820
from prosecution, and witness protection.
1422
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:29,680
I want to help.
1423
01:15:31,440 --> 01:15:32,839
Maybe I could do something
1424
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,239
to stop others from making
the same mistakes.
1425
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:39,319
Immunity from prosecution and
witness protection has been agreed.
1426
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,020
There is one final gap
we need to fill in.
1427
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,119
How did you know that John Clayton
was an undercover officer,
1428
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:47,400
DS John Corbett?
1429
01:15:48,853 --> 01:15:49,893
I didn't.
1430
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,399
Just that he was a rat.
1431
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:53,620
How?
1432
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,520
The leak about the meeting
at the Palisades.
1433
01:15:57,920 --> 01:15:59,919
It could have only come from him.
1434
01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:01,759
How did that work?
1435
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:05,559
John was told the top man wanted
to meet at the shopping centre.
1436
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,399
We had a meeting point
on one of the walkways.
1437
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:11,199
It was nice and public
so if anyone spotted us
1438
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,600
they'd think twice about
trying to take us out.
1439
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,280
No-one else in the unit knew about
the meet except for me and John.
1440
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:22,719
We had one of our blokes working
the shopping centre in security.
1441
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,479
He said he'd seen the coppers
waiting to ambush us.
1442
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:28,860
So we knew for certain the leak
had to come from John.
1443
01:16:29,480 --> 01:16:32,260
What did Lee Banks reveal to you
about John Corbett?
1444
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,040
Only that there was a rat in the unit.
1445
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,759
Hastings told Lee Banks
about Corbett, I'm sure of it.
1446
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:41,280
She's lying to cover herself.
1447
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,159
She knows if she admits
to killing Corbett
1448
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,800
then she forfeits immunity
from prosecution.
1449
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:50,319
What does Banks say?
1450
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:51,920
He's still not talking.
1451
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:55,399
Then, without his testimony,
1452
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,200
you can't prove Hastings blew
Corbett's cover.
1453
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,359
It's a dead end, Patricia.
Close the case.
1454
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:05,220
- Ma'am, I think if I can just keep...
- You had a bent officer on your team.
1455
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:07,800
Glass houses.
1456
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,679
Which OCG members were involved
1457
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,119
in the murder of John Corbett?
1458
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:19,780
A few of them.
1459
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:22,879
Not me.
1460
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:24,559
They're all dead now.
1461
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,159
Who inflicted the fatal knife wound
1462
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,640
that caused John Corbett
to bleed to death?
1463
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:31,480
He's dead now too.
1464
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:34,640
Miroslav Minkowicz.
1465
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,100
Are there any members
of the OCG still at large?
1466
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:42,280
Not that I know of.
1467
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:54,479
Where I grew up, it was easy
to fall in with the wrong crowd.
1468
01:17:54,480 --> 01:17:58,320
My mum, she was off her face on
drink and drugs a lot of the time.
1469
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,857
The person who made me see
that there was another way,
1470
01:18:01,858 --> 01:18:03,752
to be a useful member of society,
1471
01:18:03,753 --> 01:18:06,720
was a police officer, PC Simon Bannerjee.
1472
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,540
He's the reason why I wanted
to become a police officer too.
1473
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:12,880
To help people.
1474
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:25,680
- Sir.
- Sir.
1475
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,359
We've been re-examining
Dot's dying declaration.
1476
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,879
Now, the frame it was frozen on
during your interview
1477
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,879
made me spot something we've all missed.
1478
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:36,640
Look at Dot's left hand.
1479
01:18:43,213 --> 01:18:44,413
Watch again.
1480
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,680
Right, so his fingers are tapping. So?
1481
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,999
Dot was trying to tell us something
before he lost consciousness.
1482
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,519
He couldn't speak due to
the gunshot wound to his chest,
1483
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,120
but he could move his hand.
1484
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,980
Tap, tap, tap-tap.
1485
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,080
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
1486
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:12,879
Morse code.
1487
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,180
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
1488
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,560
The letter H in Morse Code is four dots.
1489
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,679
H is not an initial.
1490
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:24,119
It's a clue.
1491
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:25,519
Four Dots.
1492
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:27,079
Four Caddies.
1493
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,959
Four police staff
in league with organised crime.
1494
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,559
Dot.
1495
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,119
Hilton.
1496
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:34,360
Gill.
1497
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,120
Plus one more.
1498
01:19:38,399 --> 01:19:39,879
And they're still out there.
1499
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,679
The Deputy Chief Constable
and I are pleased to report
1500
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,959
Operation Pear Tree has completed
a thorough investigation
1501
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:50,999
into institutionalised complicity
1502
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:55,079
between organised criminals
and corrupt police officers.
1503
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,239
Its robust findings couldn't be clearer,
1504
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,900
there is no institutionalised
corruption in this police force.
1505
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:05,479
This constabulary will work
tirelessly to root out
1506
01:20:05,480 --> 01:20:07,879
rotten apples in its ranks...
