Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,089
It's called Operation Pear Tree.
2
00:00:04,114 --> 00:00:06,859
Our brief was to embed
an undercover officer
3
00:00:06,884 --> 00:00:08,803
within an organised crime group.
4
00:00:08,804 --> 00:00:11,004
Detective Sergeant John Corbett.
5
00:00:13,905 --> 00:00:15,648
I'm just trying to get to the truth.
6
00:00:15,648 --> 00:00:18,087
The top brass,
they don't want me to succeed.
7
00:00:18,088 --> 00:00:21,600
There's a bent copper running
organised crime, I'm sure of it.
8
00:00:24,641 --> 00:00:26,567
The man that broke in,
I never saw his face.
9
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:28,767
He said you'd know why he'd done it.
10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,829
I assaulted your gaffer's wife.
11
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:33,167
He'll make sure I go down,
there's no two ways about it.
12
00:00:33,168 --> 00:00:36,327
One zero to four five.
The order is Fahrenheit.
13
00:00:36,328 --> 00:00:38,127
Sir, we'll lose all of Corbett's intel.
14
00:00:38,128 --> 00:00:40,760
We know that Corbett
is a coldblooded killer.
15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,167
Give yourself up!
16
00:00:44,168 --> 00:00:47,280
You shoot me, then the truth
never comes out.
17
00:00:49,688 --> 00:00:51,100
Lee Banks?
18
00:00:51,125 --> 00:00:53,538
- Who the hell are you?
- Superintendent Hastings.
19
00:00:53,539 --> 00:00:55,087
You're a rat, John.
20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,967
A rat.
21
00:00:57,659 --> 00:00:59,427
What if he did blow Corbett's cover?
22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,408
Doesn't bear thinking about.
23
00:01:02,408 --> 00:01:05,678
- This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
- How much?
24
00:01:05,679 --> 00:01:06,767
£100,000.
25
00:01:06,768 --> 00:01:08,847
Haven't we earned a payday?
26
00:01:08,848 --> 00:01:12,327
I don't want the fiasco of Operation
Pear Tree, which was not of your
27
00:01:12,328 --> 00:01:16,408
making, add a disastrous coda to
an otherwise distinguished career.
28
00:01:21,488 --> 00:01:23,767
Cover it up with all this stuff. Come on.
29
00:01:23,768 --> 00:01:25,967
I never asked you how your exams went.
30
00:01:25,968 --> 00:01:28,008
Yeah, I got a date for my interview.
31
00:01:29,408 --> 00:01:32,167
It's clear to me that the threshold
test has been passed
32
00:01:32,168 --> 00:01:35,087
and therefore it is my lawful right
to arrest you on suspicion
33
00:01:35,088 --> 00:01:38,120
- of conspiracy to murder John Corbett.
- No, no, no.
34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,616
You will be held in custody
35
00:01:40,641 --> 00:01:42,487
while we gather further
evidence against you.
36
00:01:42,488 --> 00:01:45,280
What is happening here?
I am being framed!
37
00:01:47,568 --> 00:01:49,047
Today was just for starters.
38
00:01:49,048 --> 00:01:51,480
Now I'm going to prove
that Hastings is H.
39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,567
The inquiry into Superintendent Hastings
40
00:02:00,568 --> 00:02:03,567
is not a matter over which
you're entitled to exercise choice.
41
00:02:03,568 --> 00:02:06,087
Cooperation is your lawful duty
as police officers
42
00:02:06,088 --> 00:02:09,487
and failure to comply is an offence
under police conduct regulations.
43
00:02:09,488 --> 00:02:12,880
Any of you obstructing my officers
can and will face arrest.
44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,767
But let's not fall out over this.
45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,288
I'm sure we can all work together nicely.
46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,880
DI Fleming, DS Arnott,
can I borrow you a minute?
47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,570
Seven years and counting.
48
00:02:32,571 --> 00:02:35,087
No-one's worked more closely
with Ted Hastings than you two.
49
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,487
You have better insights into
the man than anyone else in AC12.
50
00:02:38,488 --> 00:02:43,520
So, what you know, I need to know,
my team needs to know.
51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,767
Ma'am, I'm not comfortable
kicking the gaffer when he's down.
52
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,570
He recruited you.
53
00:02:52,595 --> 00:02:53,830
- Yes, ma'am.
- Mm-hm.
54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,447
Stuck by you when perhaps
some others wouldn't have.
55
00:02:57,448 --> 00:03:01,080
Shagging witnesses and suspects
and the like.
56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,487
I sympathise with your loyalties,
DS Arnott, I really do,
57
00:03:05,488 --> 00:03:08,767
but on the other hand we have found
£50,000 stashed in his hotel room
58
00:03:08,768 --> 00:03:11,771
so if I were you I wouldn't go round
professing too close a loyalty
59
00:03:11,772 --> 00:03:14,867
to Ted Hastings, otherwise people
might just start suspecting you
60
00:03:14,868 --> 00:03:17,080
of being an accessory to his offences.
61
00:03:19,248 --> 00:03:20,767
H.
62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,487
A senior police officer
sitting at the top
63
00:03:23,488 --> 00:03:26,047
of an institutionalised relationship
64
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,280
between organised crime
and corrupt police officers.
65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,180
AC12 failed to bring him down.
66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,460
I won't.
67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,820
Wow.
68
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,019
£50,000.
69
00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:54,299
Ma'am, Sarge, can we talk please?
70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,493
- Sure. What's up?
71
00:03:56,518 --> 00:03:57,779
- I've been looking into
John Corbett's past,
72
00:03:57,780 --> 00:04:00,979
like you asked me to. You said
it was completely confidential
73
00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:04,500
- and I couldn't share it with anyone.
- What have you found?
74
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:10,499
- May I ask what's going on in here?
- Yeah. A private conversation.
75
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,219
Didn't you hear DCS Carmichael?
We need to know everything.
76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,500
- It's Michelle, isn't it?
- Yes.
77
00:04:16,525 --> 00:04:17,979
Listen, Michelle, we're AC12.
78
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:19,819
We do this to other units
week-in-week-out
79
00:04:19,820 --> 00:04:21,419
so don't try telling me how it works.
80
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:23,299
We're witnesses, not suspects.
81
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:25,980
Now, stop making a tit of yourself
and piss off.
82
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,899
Sorry. Go on.
83
00:04:31,460 --> 00:04:33,979
It goes back to
Superintendent Hastings' service
84
00:04:33,980 --> 00:04:35,979
with the Royal Ulster Constabulary.
85
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:39,822
When he was a PC in the 1980s,
he was interviewed in connection
86
00:04:39,823 --> 00:04:42,360
with the disappearance
of Anne-Marie McGillis.
87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,979
- Corbett's mum?
- Yeah.
88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,297
- The records aren't brilliant.
- No, they never were in them days.
89
00:04:48,298 --> 00:04:50,979
But they've been retained as
the disappearance remains unsolved.
90
00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:52,097
You've got this on file?
91
00:04:52,122 --> 00:04:54,619
Yes, Sarge,
but I've kept it security protected.
92
00:04:54,620 --> 00:04:57,012
Well done, but I don't want you
getting in trouble
93
00:04:57,013 --> 00:05:00,699
so you should share the file
with DCS Carmichael's team.
94
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:02,219
Yes, ma'am.
95
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:03,820
Thank you, ma'am.
96
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,979
Christ's sake, Kate.
97
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:11,770
I'm just calling it as I see it,
Steve. The truth comes first.
98
00:05:11,771 --> 00:05:14,179
What, we just help Carmichael
hammer nails in the gaffer's coffin?
99
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:16,659
Well, you heard Carmichael.
If the gaffer is found guilty,
100
00:05:16,660 --> 00:05:18,739
I can guarantee it'll be us
she'll be after next.
101
00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:20,619
"Oh, we must have
known Hastings was bent."
102
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:24,019
What if the gaffer's innocent?
We'll have betrayed him.
103
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:26,059
He'll come after us and we'll deserve it.
104
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:28,979
Well, I don't know about you, Steve,
but I'm not going to sit around
105
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:30,773
and wait for a kicking off
the gaffer or Carmichael
106
00:05:30,774 --> 00:05:32,400
when there's police work to be done.
107
00:05:40,631 --> 00:05:42,420
Stand clear of the door.
108
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:01,899
Corbett's murder, Hastings' arrest.
109
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,459
Fortunately, it will all be
covered by our application
110
00:06:04,460 --> 00:06:06,219
for Public Interest Immunity.
111
00:06:06,220 --> 00:06:08,219
Nothing need ever come out.
112
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:10,779
Unless Carmichael proves
a link between Hastings
113
00:06:10,780 --> 00:06:14,219
and organised crime.
We have to go public with that.
114
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,600
There's pros and cons PR-wise.
115
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:21,659
Which makes me think we need to
emphasise the wording.
116
00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:23,219
Wording?
117
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:27,699
Operation Pear Tree's objective
was to examine institutionalised
118
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,979
links between corrupt police
officers and organised criminals.
119
00:06:30,980 --> 00:06:34,979
Most people would prefer us spending
that money reducing response times,
120
00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:37,300
putting more bobbies on the beat.
121
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,299
- Anyway, I'll leave that with you.
- Where are you going?
122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,619
The inquiry into Superintendent Hastings
123
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:46,200
must be above reproach.
124
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,140
Wouldn't hurt to make sure.
125
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:09,020
- This is never easy.
- No.
126
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,979
Sorry for your loss.
127
00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:26,979
We're sorry to have to ask
128
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:30,459
but we're making further enquiries
into John's undercover operation.
129
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,219
I can't help you.
130
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,720
Not sure I would even if I could.
131
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,300
I met John a few times.
132
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,220
He was a very brave man.
133
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,979
Steph, from what Merseyside Police
have told us
134
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:52,900
about your reaction to the news
of your husband's death...
135
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:56,422
...it has made us question some
of the things you said to us
136
00:07:56,423 --> 00:07:57,840
when we was last here.
137
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,380
You're not in any trouble.
138
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,740
We just want to do right by John.
139
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,939
Sit down if you like.
140
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,620
Thank you.
141
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,980
It was all an act before.
142
00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:28,400
John told me that was how to play it
to protect him.
143
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,979
Going back to our visit
on the 10th of March,
144
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:37,680
we asked you about John's links
to Northern Ireland.
145
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:40,980
He grew up over there.
146
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,699
When his mum died,
he was took in by his auntie.
147
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,699
Did John ever talk about his mum?
148
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,060
Yeah.
149
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:51,979
We've got a name, Anne-Marie McGillis.
150
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,979
Anne-Marie, yeah.
151
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,220
What did John say about her?
152
00:08:57,460 --> 00:08:59,299
John never said much.
153
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:01,979
To be honest, I don't know
how much he ever knew.
154
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:05,979
He was... He was only a kid when it
all happened, about nine or ten.
155
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:07,820
When what happened?
156
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:12,459
The story was Anne-Marie
was helping the police
157
00:09:12,460 --> 00:09:14,900
and then the police betrayed her.
158
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,660
Let on she was an informant
and that's why she got killed.
159
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,660
Did John ever say there was
a particular officer involved?
160
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:29,699
When he was older,
his auntie said there was one
161
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:31,779
that Anne-Marie had talked about.
162
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,980
A young fella her age.
163
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:39,580
I think he took a shine to her and
she trusted him to look out for her.
164
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,980
He should have but he didn't.
165
00:09:44,433 --> 00:09:45,953
Or worse.
166
00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:48,860
What do you mean, worse?
167
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,979
Something John said.
168
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,459
This copper, he was married,
and there was a bit of scandal
169
00:09:55,460 --> 00:09:59,059
about him spending so much time
round Anne-Marie's.
170
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:01,979
Maybe it suited him
for Anne-Marie to go missing.
171
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,620
Did John have any evidence of this?
172
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,619
Not that I know of.
173
00:10:07,906 --> 00:10:09,986
Was there a name for this officer?
174
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:12,959
If there was, I never heard it.
175
00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:15,740
Not from John.
176
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,539
Did John ever connect this family
history to the undercover operation
177
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:21,979
he was involved in
at the time of his death?
178
00:10:21,980 --> 00:10:25,300
John never told me what his jobs
was about for me own protection.
179
00:10:26,506 --> 00:10:28,186
And his.
180
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,340
Why are you so interested in what
happened in Northern Ireland?
181
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:35,299
Is there a connection?
182
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,980
We don't know.
183
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,219
Corbett never mentioned Hastings
to Steph.
184
00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:49,139
He was only a kid when it happened.
Maybe he never knew the name.
185
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:52,139
Still, the undercover officer
recruited to investigate
186
00:10:52,140 --> 00:10:54,724
links between the OCG
and corrupt officers,
187
00:10:54,725 --> 00:10:56,539
all the way up to H,
just happens to be the son
188
00:10:56,540 --> 00:10:58,619
of a woman murdered on
the gaffer's patch?
189
00:10:58,620 --> 00:11:01,779
Well, now we know why Corbett was
so convinced the gaffer's bent.
190
00:11:01,780 --> 00:11:04,323
What we don't know is if someone
else knew about Corbett's past link
191
00:11:04,324 --> 00:11:06,701
to the gaffer or if somehow
Corbett managed to put himself
192
00:11:06,702 --> 00:11:08,960
- forward for the job.
- Exactly.
193
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:11,259
Any chance of it being a coincidence?
194
00:11:11,260 --> 00:11:12,720
Coincidence, my arse.
195
00:11:19,380 --> 00:11:21,379
I see you've cleared everybody out.
196
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:24,459
That'll save the mutual
embarrassment when I'm reinstated.
197
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:27,539
DCS Carmichael had concerns
about security.
198
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:30,620
AC12 had a corrupt DI
who shot his way out of here.
199
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,220
- Did you manage to get any sleep?
- Not much.
200
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:47,460
Thank you. As you were.
201
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,699
Listen, this heavy mob that
you've just parachuted in,
202
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,779
they look a bit trigger-happy to me.
203
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:57,019
But our man, Police Sergeant
Kyle Ferringham,
204
00:11:57,020 --> 00:11:58,899
he knows this building inside out,
205
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:00,979
you will not find a safer pair of hands.
206
00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:03,219
You just said it. He's your man.
207
00:12:03,220 --> 00:12:06,440
I'll stick with mine, thank you.
208
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,219
Second interview of Edward Hastings
in the presence of his solicitor
209
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:24,659
by DCS Carmichael, DI Brandyce
and PS Tranter.
210
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:26,219
You remain under caution.
211
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:28,419
As you know, you may be held for up
to 24 hours,
212
00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:29,940
at which point you will
either be released
213
00:12:29,941 --> 00:12:33,340
or charged with conspiracy
to murder John Corbett.
214
00:12:35,339 --> 00:12:37,059
Pausing interview.
215
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,360
PS Ferringham on official business.
216
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:45,459
What's going on?
217
00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:48,699
Gill Biggeloe, Senior Legal Counsel
to the PCC, attending
218
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:53,059
as an official observer to ensure
correct procedures are followed.
219
00:12:53,060 --> 00:12:55,699
- Why wasn't I informed?
- You just were.
220
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,300
Thank you.
221
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:00,220
Ma'am.
222
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:03,980
Hi, Ted.
223
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,459
Resuming interview, now with PCC's
Senior Legal Counsel observing.
224
00:13:18,460 --> 00:13:22,295
- Mr Hastings, how did you...?
- I thought, ma'am,
225
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,540
that we had agreed that
I would be addressed by my rank.
226
00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:28,979
Given the gravity of the charge
against you,
227
00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:30,903
I know we'd both hate to be accused
of special treatment.
228
00:13:30,904 --> 00:13:33,619
Best we treat you like
any normal, regular person
229
00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:36,500
who's been accused of plotting
to kill someone, don't you agree?
230
00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:40,539
When did you receive confirmation
that John Corbett
231
00:13:40,540 --> 00:13:42,380
had assaulted your wife?
232
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,859
I'm sorry to probe. I know this must
be extremely upsetting for you.
233
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:50,979
- On the 12th of March.
- When on the 12th of March?
234
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,560
During the operation to apprehend him.
235
00:13:55,193 --> 00:13:56,513
Oh.
236
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,539
I see.
237
00:13:58,540 --> 00:14:01,459
Talk about a pressure situation.
My heart goes out to you.
238
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,699
To have that trauma
at that very same moment
239
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:06,560
as being in command of armed
officers surrounding John Corbett.
240
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,219
Still, and, I am sorry about this,
241
00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:11,979
I do need to ask you about
the events that followed.
242
00:14:11,980 --> 00:14:13,379
DI Brandyce.
243
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:15,699
Document 53 in your folders.
244
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,219
Document 53 is a copy of the report
245
00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:20,699
made by the Tactical Firearms Commander
246
00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:23,339
during said operation
on the 12th of March,
247
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,330
written on the 13th of March
248
00:14:25,355 --> 00:14:28,979
and received later that day by
the Strategic Firearms Commander.
249
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,619
Drawing your attention to page three
of said report, paragraph four,
250
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,499
"Superintendent Hastings relayed
a Fahrenheit order to DS Arnott."
251
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:40,837
- Did you give said order?
- Yes.
252
00:14:40,838 --> 00:14:42,470
What's your understanding of said order?
253
00:14:42,471 --> 00:14:46,979
The authority to deploy lethal force
to prevent immediate loss of life
254
00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:49,619
or prevent immediate danger
to the public.
255
00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:51,779
Responsibility for issuing said order
256
00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:53,979
lies with the Strategic
Firearms Commander.
257
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:56,419
For the order to be issued by
any other officer is unlawful.
258
00:14:56,420 --> 00:14:58,979
Corbett had already drawn his firearm,
259
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,659
DS Arnott was facing
an immediate threat to life,
260
00:15:01,660 --> 00:15:03,979
I was concerned that DS Arnott
would hesitate
261
00:15:03,980 --> 00:15:05,949
and that Corbett would discharge
his firearm.
262
00:15:05,950 --> 00:15:08,779
I gave the order to save
my officer's life.
263
00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:13,600
In your mind, having just learned
that Corbett had tortured your wife,
264
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:17,499
- no other motivations were at work?
- None.
265
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,830
And that he was involved in
the death of one of your officers,
266
00:15:19,831 --> 00:15:21,459
- PC Maneet Bindra?
- Yes.
267
00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:24,619
- You weren't vengeful towards Corbett?
- My first concern remained,
268
00:15:24,620 --> 00:15:27,979
as it should do for all police
officers, the preservation of life.
269
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:30,179
Clearly you weren't concerned
with the preservation
270
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:32,259
- of John Corbett's life.
- I did not cause his death.
271
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:34,177
He brought it upon himself
when he went rogue.
272
00:15:34,178 --> 00:15:35,318
I take no pleasure in this
273
00:15:35,319 --> 00:15:37,620
but the man
had it coming to him in spades.
274
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:42,459
I'd like to return to the remarks
you made to DS Railston
275
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,699
following the assault on your wife.
276
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,979
That's Document 60 in your folders.
277
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:49,859
Document 60 is a crime report
by DS Samantha Railston
278
00:15:49,860 --> 00:15:54,579
detailing statements made by
Edward Hastings on the 8th of March.
279
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:56,179
Page 2, para 3,
280
00:15:56,180 --> 00:15:58,860
"Superintendent Hastings stated,
281
00:15:58,861 --> 00:16:00,939
'Whoever's responsible better
start praying
282
00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:03,659
"'he's up in front of the judge
before I get my hands on him.'"
283
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,080
What did you mean by that?
284
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:08,579
It was rhetorical.
285
00:16:08,580 --> 00:16:10,819
And what would you have done
if, as per your statement,
286
00:16:10,820 --> 00:16:12,960
you had "got your hands on him"?
287
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:16,219
I would have done what any police
officer would have done
288
00:16:16,220 --> 00:16:18,059
and arrested him for grievous
bodily harm.
289
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:20,539
Which sounds like what any
law-abiding officer would do.
290
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,099
Well, I am a law-abiding officer.
291
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,179
And yet, on the 12th of March,
you ordered DS Arnott
292
00:16:24,180 --> 00:16:25,779
to shoot John Corbett in cold blood.
293
00:16:25,780 --> 00:16:27,499
To prevent an immediate loss of life!
294
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:29,779
And later that same day,
you visited Lee Banks,
295
00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:31,859
an OCG member on remand
in Blackthorn Prison.
296
00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:34,259
Yeah, to harvest information on the OCG.
297
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:36,899
When DS Arnott quite rightly did not
deploy lethal force against
298
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:39,179
John Corbett, did you take matters
into your own hands
299
00:16:39,180 --> 00:16:40,766
and disclose to Lee Banks
300
00:16:40,767 --> 00:16:42,819
that John Corbett was
an undercover police officer?
301
00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:44,339
No, I did not.
302
00:16:44,340 --> 00:16:47,139
Disclosing this information with
the expectation that it would be
303
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:48,760
- passed on to the OCG?
- No!
304
00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:52,819
I'm really sorry to labour something that
305
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:55,019
I know you find very upsetting,
but I'd like to return
306
00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:57,459
to the injuries that John Corbett
inflicted on your wife.
307
00:16:57,460 --> 00:16:58,619
If you must.
308
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:00,000
Thank you.
309
00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:04,059
The case was dealt with by
the Serious Crime Unit.
310
00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:05,859
Document 60 in your folders.
311
00:17:05,860 --> 00:17:09,019
Drawing your attention to page 2, para 2,
312
00:17:09,020 --> 00:17:12,299
"When questioned, Superintendent
Hastings denied knowledge of
313
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:15,859
"any significance to the pattern of
injuries sustained by the victim."
314
00:17:15,860 --> 00:17:18,536
- Is that what you said to DS Railston?
- Yes.
315
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:20,979
Thank you for being truthful with us.
316
00:17:20,980 --> 00:17:23,659
I can't tell you how much easier
that makes everything.
317
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:24,859
Now, as part of our inquiry,
318
00:17:24,860 --> 00:17:27,779
we've been given access
to your service record.
319
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:33,379
The service record is summarised
in Document 2 in your folders.
320
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:34,859
The service record indicates
321
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:38,979
Edward Hastings joined the
Royal Ulster Constabulary in 1982
322
00:17:38,980 --> 00:17:42,299
and served as a police constable
for seven years,
323
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:44,664
till his promotion to Police Sergeant
324
00:17:44,665 --> 00:17:46,739
and transfer in 1989.
325
00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:49,779
Sorry, I don't mean to put you on
the spot, but seven years' policing
326
00:17:49,780 --> 00:17:52,219
in Northern Ireland in the 1980s,
and you never came across
327
00:17:52,220 --> 00:17:55,539
a pattern of injuries that involved
the wrists, knees and ankles?
328
00:17:55,540 --> 00:17:56,659
Yeah, but, look...
329
00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:58,939
You have to remember, my team
had only just discovered
330
00:17:58,940 --> 00:18:00,219
that DS Railston's officer,
331
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:03,259
Commanding Detective Chief
Superintendent Lester Hargreaves,
332
00:18:03,260 --> 00:18:05,099
was corrupt, having been an accomplice
333
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:08,979
with the OCG in their armed robbery
of Eastfield Depot.
334
00:18:08,980 --> 00:18:11,379
So, you're offering by way of
an explanation
335
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:13,259
that you withheld information
336
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:16,099
for fear of how it would be
misused by Railston?
337
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,139
The assault on my wife
appeared to be the work
338
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:20,819
of the organised crime group
that we were investigating,
339
00:18:20,820 --> 00:18:25,520
a threat or a warning to me
to suppress the inquiry.
340
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:29,059
I just didn't want to give them
the satisfaction
341
00:18:29,060 --> 00:18:31,779
of knowing how upsetting
I found the whole event.
342
00:18:31,780 --> 00:18:34,379
So, you did appreciate
the significance of the injuries?
343
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:37,059
Yes, all right, look, if you want
me to state the obvious.
344
00:18:37,060 --> 00:18:40,819
Yes, a resemblance to punishment
and or torture meted out
345
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:43,779
by paramilitary and/or terrorist
organisations.
346
00:18:43,780 --> 00:18:46,339
Indeed, so now, let's turn
to your service
347
00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:50,419
with the Royal Ulster Constabulary
in the period 1982-1989, inclusive.
348
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:52,419
Document 62.
349
00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:55,739
PC Edward Hastings served
in West Belfast.
350
00:18:55,740 --> 00:19:00,299
A periodic professional assessment
submitted in the summer of 1988
351
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:04,179
by Police Sergeant Thomas Cranford
notes the following,
352
00:19:04,180 --> 00:19:07,819
"Hastings appears to have a rapport
with the Catholic community
353
00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:10,166
"due to his own Catholic tendencies."
354
00:19:10,167 --> 00:19:12,259
Are you able to tell us a little bit
about your background?
355
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:14,179
Well, I'd really rather not.
356
00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:16,859
A Catholic in the RUC,
were you in the minority?
357
00:19:16,860 --> 00:19:20,659
I was, and am, a police officer.
358
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:23,179
I do not discriminate
against my fellow officers
359
00:19:23,180 --> 00:19:27,419
on grounds of creed, and I would
appreciate the same courtesy.
360
00:19:27,420 --> 00:19:28,739
Well, the sergeant writing up
361
00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:31,179
that RUC periodic professional assessment
362
00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:32,819
didn't mind referring to it.
363
00:19:32,820 --> 00:19:34,588
Document 62 continued,
364
00:19:34,589 --> 00:19:37,505
"Hastings' family background
is more complicated,
365
00:19:37,506 --> 00:19:40,019
"which may prove valuable
in future assignments."
366
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:41,567
What did he mean by that?
367
00:19:41,568 --> 00:19:44,219
- You'd have to ask him.
- We did.
368
00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:46,739
Document 65 in your folders.
369
00:19:46,740 --> 00:19:50,979
Statement by former Police Sergeant,
now retired, Thomas Cranford,
370
00:19:50,980 --> 00:19:55,339
submitted to Anticorruption Unit 3
on the 14th of March.
371
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:57,699
"We all thought he was Protestant.
372
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:00,739
"Edward and Hastings, what else
is the fella going to be?
373
00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:03,459
"Turned out that was a sensitive subject.
374
00:20:03,460 --> 00:20:06,299
"His old man was a Protestant
but he'd married a Catholic,
375
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:09,139
"and when he went off, his mum
brought up young Ted that way."
376
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:10,699
Why did you leave the RUC?
377
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:11,800
Well...
378
00:20:12,380 --> 00:20:15,320
...the kind of talk we just heard
being quoted didn't help.
379
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:19,499
In 1989, you suffered serious injuries.
380
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:21,499
On 29th of June 1989,
381
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:25,699
an RUC patrol vehicle drove over
a pipe bomb, causing the death
382
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:30,459
of PC Patrick O'Malley and serious
injury to PC Edward Hastings.
383
00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:32,979
Two Catholic officers targeted?
384
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:36,339
Yeah, well, it doesn't take a genius
to see why I put in for a transfer.
385
00:20:36,340 --> 00:20:38,420
Or were you targeted for another reason?
386
00:20:40,860 --> 00:20:42,859
I don't know what you're referring to.
387
00:20:42,860 --> 00:20:46,819
I'd like to examine events
in the period 1988-1989
388
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:51,219
and, specifically, a special
assignment that you took part in.
389
00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:54,059
Do you recognise the name
Anne-Marie McGillis?
390
00:20:54,060 --> 00:20:56,419
For the DIR, I'm showing
the interviewee Image 41,
391
00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:59,720
an RUC file photograph of
Anne-Marie McGillis.
392
00:21:02,446 --> 00:21:03,680
Mr Hastings?
393
00:21:08,020 --> 00:21:10,100
You're going back 30 years here, come on.
394
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:14,299
Let's see if this can jog your memory.
395
00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:15,939
Document 78 in your folders.
396
00:21:15,940 --> 00:21:19,579
Document 78 is a report entered into
the Royal Ulster Constabulary files
397
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:23,379
on missing persons,
dated the 23rd of May 1989.
398
00:21:23,380 --> 00:21:28,659
Anne-Marie McGillis was reported
missing on the 19th April 1989.
399
00:21:28,660 --> 00:21:31,259
The night before, Tuesday the 18th April,
400
00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:33,737
Anne-Marie left her son with a neighbour,
401
00:21:33,738 --> 00:21:36,699
informing the neighbour that she was
popping out for a couple of hours
402
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,179
to visit a friend in hospital.
403
00:21:38,180 --> 00:21:41,059
Anne-Marie never returned
to collect her son.
404
00:21:41,060 --> 00:21:43,899
No witnesses came forward
to reveal Anne-Marie's movements
405
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:45,339
on the night she disappeared.
406
00:21:45,340 --> 00:21:48,179
No-one known to Anne-Marie was able
to identify the family friend
407
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:49,979
who was admitted in to hospital.
408
00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:53,019
The Missing Persons team concluded
that this person didn't exist,
409
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:55,259
and that Anne-Marie had deceived
her neighbour
410
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:57,939
regarding her activities
on the night she disappeared.
411
00:21:57,940 --> 00:22:00,619
A number of individuals known to
Anne-Marie were interviewed
412
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:02,779
in connection with
the Missing Persons inquiry.
413
00:22:02,780 --> 00:22:06,499
And one such individual was
Police Constable Edward Hastings.
414
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,059
Do you recall these events, Mr Hastings?
415
00:22:09,060 --> 00:22:10,099
Some.
416
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:11,380
What do you recall?
417
00:22:12,780 --> 00:22:17,059
Well, Anne-Marie's husband had been
murdered a few years before.
418
00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:20,779
Apparently, he was active
during the Troubles.
419
00:22:20,780 --> 00:22:23,899
One of those nasty little
tit-for-tat killings.
420
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:25,059
Anyway, Anne-Marie,
421
00:22:25,060 --> 00:22:27,979
she blamed someone higher up
the chain of command
422
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:30,600
for her husband's death, you know...
423
00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:33,059
She felt that he was sacrificed
needlessly.
424
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:35,840
Anyway, grief, I think...
425
00:22:37,540 --> 00:22:40,499
...later turned to passing
information to the police
426
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,739
about terrorist activities.
427
00:22:42,740 --> 00:22:45,993
- She was an CHIS informant?
- Yes.
428
00:22:45,994 --> 00:22:48,739
And did you play a role in
Anne-Marie serving as a CHIS?
429
00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:51,219
Yes, well, she...
Look, she lived on my patch.
430
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:52,819
You know, in those days,
431
00:22:52,820 --> 00:22:55,580
it was very difficult for the RUC
to enter certain areas, to er...
432
00:22:56,940 --> 00:22:58,419
...to put it mildly.
433
00:22:58,420 --> 00:23:01,259
And I think some local women
found out my mother was a Catholic
434
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:02,859
and that I was a Catholic too.
435
00:23:02,860 --> 00:23:04,819
And I think that bought a bit of trust.
436
00:23:04,820 --> 00:23:07,099
You were instrumental in Anne-Marie
trusting the police
437
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:09,939
with information she was disclosing
about terrorist organisations?
438
00:23:09,940 --> 00:23:11,499
I helped, that's all.
439
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,580
Did you have meetings with Mrs McGillis?
440
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,693
- Some.
- According to the file,
441
00:23:16,694 --> 00:23:18,939
you didn't always meet Anne-Marie
in covert locations.
442
00:23:18,940 --> 00:23:20,939
You were seen entering
and leaving her home.
443
00:23:20,940 --> 00:23:23,379
Yes, you know, I'd give her a hand.
444
00:23:23,380 --> 00:23:25,780
Little odd jobs,
there was no man about the house.
445
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,779
I'm no expert in RUC covert tactics
in the 1980s,
446
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:32,659
but I would have thought that
making it appear
447
00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:34,659
that a young woman
from a Republican community
448
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:36,819
has some kind of friendship
with a police officer
449
00:23:36,820 --> 00:23:38,219
is only going to invite trouble.
450
00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:40,899
The sort of trouble that might
get you targeted by a pipe bomb,
451
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:43,179
or get your lady friend murdered.
452
00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:45,019
I object to the term "lady friend".
453
00:23:45,020 --> 00:23:46,660
What level of friendship was it?
454
00:23:48,620 --> 00:23:49,939
What do you mean?
455
00:23:49,940 --> 00:23:51,579
She was an attractive young widow.
456
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:52,659
Yes.
457
00:23:52,660 --> 00:23:53,939
And I was a married man!
458
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:55,288
According to the file,
459
00:23:55,289 --> 00:23:57,339
there were rumours you two
were conducting an affair.
460
00:23:57,340 --> 00:23:59,059
Yeah, but that's what they were, rumours.
461
00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:01,151
Just gossip, drummed up by
a bunch of people
462
00:24:01,152 --> 00:24:02,757
no better than they should've been.
463
00:24:02,758 --> 00:24:04,959
Regardless, I'm sure you can see
how your intimacy
464
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,259
could've put Anne-Marie in jeopardy.
465
00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:08,260
That's not what happened!
466
00:24:12,860 --> 00:24:15,979
Did she meet a police
officer to pass information
467
00:24:15,980 --> 00:24:20,600
on the evening of
Tuesday the 18th April 1989?
468
00:24:22,660 --> 00:24:24,139
Yes.
469
00:24:24,140 --> 00:24:25,339
You?
470
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:26,380
Yes.
471
00:24:27,460 --> 00:24:28,819
What happened that night?
472
00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:31,129
Well, she told me that
she'd made up some story
473
00:24:31,130 --> 00:24:33,179
about going to visit a sick friend.
474
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:34,859
She passed the information to me.
475
00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:36,499
And, as far as I know, she returned home.
476
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,259
Were you involved in her disappearance?
477
00:24:38,260 --> 00:24:39,380
No.
478
00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:44,259
As God is my witness, I was not.
479
00:24:44,260 --> 00:24:46,099
According to the Missing Persons file,
480
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:47,859
you were the last person
to see her alive.
481
00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:51,299
That is an equivocation,
Detective Chief Superintendent,
482
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,059
as well you know.
483
00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:54,760
I'll rephrase.
484
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:58,979
You were the last person to admit
to police in an official statement
485
00:24:58,980 --> 00:25:01,019
to seeing Anne-Marie McGillis alive.
486
00:25:01,020 --> 00:25:04,619
I watched her walk down
the street, turn the corner.
487
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:07,299
Anne-Marie McGillis
trusted you implicitly?
488
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:08,619
Yes, I believe she did.
489
00:25:08,620 --> 00:25:11,379
One theory considered by the RUC
is that you exploited that trust
490
00:25:11,380 --> 00:25:13,667
- to lure Anne-Marie to her death.
- Completely false!
491
00:25:13,668 --> 00:25:15,059
The theory being that, as a Catholic,
492
00:25:15,060 --> 00:25:16,819
you were susceptible to
relationships with
493
00:25:16,820 --> 00:25:19,007
the very organisations that
Anne-Marie was informing on.
494
00:25:19,008 --> 00:25:21,659
Look Growing up back then,
in the 70's, in the city,
495
00:25:21,660 --> 00:25:23,619
they were everywhere.
They were part of the culture.
496
00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:25,779
This sort of organisation?
497
00:25:25,780 --> 00:25:27,979
Oh, come on now, I didn't want
any part of that.
498
00:25:27,980 --> 00:25:29,299
I became a police officer.
499
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:31,139
Anything familiar about their appearance?
500
00:25:31,140 --> 00:25:33,299
It was a different time,
a different thing entirely.
501
00:25:33,300 --> 00:25:35,569
Nonetheless, they're wearing
the clothing associated with
502
00:25:35,570 --> 00:25:38,179
organised crime groups
that AC12 have been investigating
503
00:25:38,180 --> 00:25:40,699
- for seven years or more.
- There's no direct connection!
504
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:43,739
Anne-Marie McGillis' remains
weren't found until 2001.
505
00:25:43,740 --> 00:25:45,819
Document 72.
506
00:25:45,820 --> 00:25:50,299
Document 72 is the postmortem report
on Anne-Marie McGillis.
507
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,499
The cause of death was
a single gunshot wound to the head.
508
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,739
Additional gunshot wounds were detected
509
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:59,059
bilaterally on the victim's wrists,
knees and ankles.
510
00:25:59,060 --> 00:26:02,299
Lesions caused by haemorrhage
indicate these gunshot wounds
511
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:04,539
were inflicted when the victim
was still alive.
512
00:26:04,540 --> 00:26:07,934
Anne-Marie McGillis was tortured
in the same pattern
513
00:26:07,935 --> 00:26:09,379
as that inflicted on your wife.
514
00:26:09,380 --> 00:26:11,299
Yeah, but that's how
they did it back then.
515
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:14,579
But this does not necessitate
a direct connection.
516
00:26:14,580 --> 00:26:16,979
Her son. Did you ever meet him?
517
00:26:16,980 --> 00:26:18,240
Er...
518
00:26:19,020 --> 00:26:22,779
No. She always left her son with
some neighbours or a family friend,
519
00:26:22,780 --> 00:26:25,299
something like that.
She never wanted him involved.
520
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:26,899
When Anne-Marie disappeared,
521
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:28,739
her son was orphaned at the age of 10.
522
00:26:28,740 --> 00:26:30,779
He was taken in by Anne-Marie's sister
523
00:26:30,780 --> 00:26:32,899
and her brother-in-law,
who resided in Liverpool.
524
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:35,400
The boy was adopted
and he took their surname.
525
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,619
Corbett.
526
00:26:39,620 --> 00:26:41,280
John Corbett.
527
00:27:00,380 --> 00:27:02,340
Corbett was Anne-Marie's wee fella?
528
00:27:08,387 --> 00:27:09,587
No.
529
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:14,219
Would you like to take a break, Ted?
530
00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:15,420
Yes, of course.
531
00:27:16,540 --> 00:27:17,800
OK.
532
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:26,539
Is there anything I can do to help?
533
00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:28,020
Just give me a minute.
534
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,459
Mark Moffatt? DI Fleming.
535
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:01,979
DS Arnott. Do you have a minute, sir?
536
00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:03,379
Sir's long gone.
537
00:28:03,380 --> 00:28:04,779
Mark's fine.
538
00:28:04,780 --> 00:28:07,219
I don't know if you remember us
from AC12.
539
00:28:07,220 --> 00:28:09,499
- Can you give us a minute?
- Yeah, sure.
540
00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:11,819
Water under the bridge,
as far as I'm concerned.
541
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:13,179
No hard feelings.
542
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:14,979
We'd like to ask you
a couple of questions
543
00:28:14,980 --> 00:28:18,000
about your commercial relationship
with Superintendent Hastings.
544
00:28:22,340 --> 00:28:23,619
Ted was a...
545
00:28:23,620 --> 00:28:26,339
...an original investor in
a development that went south
546
00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:28,059
about six years back.
547
00:28:28,060 --> 00:28:31,899
We got it back on track,
so I offered Ted a buy-in
548
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:34,099
to try and recoup his original losses.
549
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:35,699
And did he?
550
00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:38,339
Unfortunately, he couldn't come up
with the funds.
551
00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:40,579
According to Superintendent Hastings,
552
00:28:40,580 --> 00:28:44,259
you loaned him £50,000 off-book.
553
00:28:44,260 --> 00:28:45,979
50?
554
00:28:45,980 --> 00:28:48,339
Yeah, that's the figure we've been given.
555
00:28:48,340 --> 00:28:51,120
I don't know how Ted's got that idea.
556
00:28:51,740 --> 00:28:54,739
Does the name John Corbett
mean anything to you?
557
00:28:55,020 --> 00:28:56,460
No, sorry.
558
00:28:58,406 --> 00:28:59,486
If that's all...
559
00:29:00,540 --> 00:29:02,059
Thanks for your time.
560
00:29:02,060 --> 00:29:03,400
Give Ted my best.
561
00:29:08,020 --> 00:29:10,259
Well, we drew a blank on Corbett.
562
00:29:10,260 --> 00:29:12,779
Yeah, you saw his reaction
when we mentioned the 50 grand.
563
00:29:12,780 --> 00:29:14,339
Something's not right.
564
00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:16,000
We need to find out what.
565
00:29:28,940 --> 00:29:31,699
Resuming interview.
You remain under caution.
566
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:33,139
Now, let's examine in more detail
567
00:29:33,140 --> 00:29:36,739
some evidence we found in your
hotel room on the 14th of March.
568
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:37,980
Image 9.
569
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:44,179
You'll recall Image 9
shows item reference MB1.
570
00:29:44,180 --> 00:29:46,699
You'll recall item reference MB1
is a brown envelope
571
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:50,059
addressed to you,
containing item reference MB2.
572
00:29:50,060 --> 00:29:54,139
MB2 are banknotes in the sum of £50,000.
573
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:58,691
Superintendent Hastings has already
given a full and clear explanation
574
00:29:58,692 --> 00:30:01,139
regarding this item. To summarise,
575
00:30:01,140 --> 00:30:04,579
it was an unsolicited advance
on future profits.
576
00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:07,387
Superintendent Hastings
was extremely uncomfortable
577
00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:09,859
about the loan, and telephoned
Mark Moffat to return the money.
578
00:30:09,860 --> 00:30:11,419
DI Brandyce.
579
00:30:11,420 --> 00:30:14,059
We took further steps to detect
the source of said cash.
580
00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:16,219
I told you, it came from Mark Moffatt.
581
00:30:16,220 --> 00:30:17,520
DI Brandyce.
582
00:30:18,860 --> 00:30:21,419
Document 40 in your folders.
583
00:30:21,420 --> 00:30:23,788
Forensic analysis of banknotes MB2
584
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:26,779
detected microscopic pollen deposits.
585
00:30:26,780 --> 00:30:30,379
Pollen grains detected on MB2 were
subjected to chemical analysis.
586
00:30:30,380 --> 00:30:33,099
The chemical structure of pollen
grains detected on MB2
587
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:36,099
closely resembles the chemical
structure of pollen grains
588
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:38,779
detected on items of evidence gathered
589
00:30:38,780 --> 00:30:42,059
during AC-12's inquiry
into Operation Pear Tree.
590
00:30:42,060 --> 00:30:48,379
Said evidence are item reference
JLM5 and item reference JD5.
591
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:50,080
Image 12, Tina.
592
00:30:51,260 --> 00:30:56,513
Image 12 shows a cache of banknotes
in the sum of £25,000
593
00:30:56,514 --> 00:30:59,979
detected under floorboards
at 21 Cleric Way.
594
00:30:59,980 --> 00:31:02,419
Do you recognise the banknotes
shown in the image,
595
00:31:02,420 --> 00:31:04,579
- Superintendent Hastings?
- No, no, I do not.
596
00:31:04,580 --> 00:31:06,499
Said banknotes were detected
at a property
597
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:08,659
belonging to a Vihaan Malhotra.
598
00:31:08,660 --> 00:31:10,579
Image 31.
599
00:31:10,580 --> 00:31:14,019
Image 31 shows item reference JD5.
600
00:31:14,020 --> 00:31:17,730
JD5 is a cache of banknotes
in the sum of £5,000
601
00:31:17,731 --> 00:31:20,579
detected at 17 Hazelton Street.
602
00:31:20,580 --> 00:31:22,659
Said banknotes were detected
at a property
603
00:31:22,660 --> 00:31:24,979
belonging to PS Jane Cafferty.
604
00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:29,979
The similar pollen structures
detected on items JD5, JLM5
605
00:31:29,980 --> 00:31:34,099
and MB2 indicate a 99.5%
probability the items
606
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,499
derive from the same original source.
607
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:38,179
I have not been bribed!
608
00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:40,059
The 50 grand found in your hotel room
609
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:42,859
came from the same pot as that
used to bribe Vihaan Malhotra
610
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:44,539
and PS Jane Cafferty.
611
00:31:44,540 --> 00:31:47,659
And, according to evidence
obtained by your own unit,
612
00:31:47,660 --> 00:31:51,143
those individuals were in the pay
of the same organised crime group
613
00:31:51,144 --> 00:31:52,979
in which John Corbett was embedded.
614
00:31:52,980 --> 00:31:56,299
I do not have a connection
with Malhotra or Cafferty.
615
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,299
- This bribe proves you do.
- No.
616
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:01,939
Was it an inducement or
a reward for telling Lee Banks
617
00:32:01,940 --> 00:32:04,859
the identity of the undercover
officer within the OCG?
618
00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:06,299
I disclosed nothing to Banks.
619
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:08,859
A disclosure which brought
about the murder of John Corbett.
620
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:10,179
No.
621
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:12,940
What was Corbett on to that you were
so desperate to keep hidden?
622
00:32:15,513 --> 00:32:16,873
I'll repeat the question.
623
00:32:17,820 --> 00:32:20,979
What was John Corbett on to that you
were so desperate to keep hidden?
624
00:32:20,980 --> 00:32:22,020
Look...
625
00:32:23,940 --> 00:32:27,019
...you have fabricated a motive
where none existed.
626
00:32:27,020 --> 00:32:29,040
Who would want John Corbett dead?
627
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,739
- What do you mean?
- If you didn't, who would?
628
00:32:32,740 --> 00:32:34,019
Well, clearly any individual
629
00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:36,379
against whom John Corbett
might be gathering evidence,
630
00:32:36,380 --> 00:32:39,246
including those members of the OCG
with whom he was embedded.
631
00:32:39,247 --> 00:32:41,339
Were there any specific
corrupt police officers
632
00:32:41,340 --> 00:32:42,819
targeted by Operation Pear Tree?
633
00:32:42,820 --> 00:32:45,819
- Not that I'm aware of.
- Mm.
634
00:32:46,540 --> 00:32:49,339
Document 5 in your folders.
635
00:32:49,340 --> 00:32:52,194
This is a copy of a document
seized by AC-12 on the...
636
00:32:52,219 --> 00:32:57,619
...23rd of February from the offices
of Operation Pear Tree.
637
00:32:57,620 --> 00:33:02,680
I direct you to page 6, paragraph 6.
638
00:33:03,740 --> 00:33:05,219
"It remains to be determined
639
00:33:05,220 --> 00:33:08,019
"if police officers of senior
and/or executive rank

"either as individuals

"A hypothesis to be examined

"of senior or executive rank."
646
00:33:22,180 --> 00:33:25,099
- Do you recognise those words?
- Yes. Yes. I've read the file.
647
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:27,563
There's a hell of a lot of
ifs and buts in that.
648
00:33:27,564 --> 00:33:31,259
Page 6, paragraph 8,
"Detective Inspector Matthew Cottan,

Thank you, Tina.

Who's top dog, Dot?
653
00:33:46,180 --> 00:33:48,700
Caddy. No, you're The Caddy.
We know that.
654
00:33:50,660 --> 00:33:52,979
- Told...
- Told!
655
00:33:52,980 --> 00:33:55,940

Who? Come on, Dot.
659
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:05,940
Come in, he can't talk.
660
00:34:07,060 --> 00:34:09,619
Right, blink with the first two
letters of his name.

I'll start bagging.

Thank you, Tina.
673
00:34:33,980 --> 00:34:36,179
In his dying declaration,
DI Cottan declared
674
00:34:36,180 --> 00:34:37,939
that the name of the senior officer
675
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:41,360
commanding the complicity
with organised crime began with H.
676
00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:46,579

00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:05,539
Well, the evidence against Hilton
was overwhelming.
684
00:35:05,540 --> 00:35:08,059
Clearly, if any new evidence
came to light,
685
00:35:08,060 --> 00:35:10,259
AC-12 would gladly investigate.
686
00:35:10,260 --> 00:35:12,960
Has any other officer
ever been accused of being H?
687
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:17,419
I'll repeat the question.
688
00:35:17,420 --> 00:35:20,739
Has any other senior officer
ever been accused of being H?
689
00:35:20,740 --> 00:35:22,660
- Yes.
- Who?
690
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:26,539
The accusation was a calculated falsehood
691
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:30,379
designed to sabotage a lawful
anticorruption inquiry.
692
00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:32,219
Who was accused?
693
00:35:32,220 --> 00:35:35,305
In an effort to sabotage an AC-12 inquiry
694
00:35:35,306 --> 00:35:37,139
that was about to uncover
his own offences,
695
00:35:37,140 --> 00:35:40,819
Assistant Chief Constable
Derek Hilton falsely accused
696
00:35:40,820 --> 00:35:45,955
the Senior Investigating Officer,
in order to discredit AC-12,
697
00:35:45,956 --> 00:35:49,659
discredit the inquiry,
and to protect his own wrongdoing.
698
00:35:49,660 --> 00:35:51,720
The SIO being who?
699
00:35:54,340 --> 00:35:55,859
Myself.
700
00:35:55,860 --> 00:35:58,699
To be clear, you were served with
a Regulation 15 Notice.
701
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:02,979
The allegation against Superintendent
Hastings was disproved.
702
00:36:02,980 --> 00:36:04,379
It wasn't disproved.
703
00:36:04,380 --> 00:36:06,699
There was insufficient evidence
to prove it.
704
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:09,619
- I'd argue they're the same thing.
- They're not. They're really not.
705
00:36:09,620 --> 00:36:12,939
Detective Chief Superintendent,
better to save the commentary
706
00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:14,920
and stick to asking questions.
707
00:36:17,340 --> 00:36:18,859
Just saying.
708
00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:20,510
Actually, while I've got your attention,
709
00:36:20,511 --> 00:36:23,851
I wonder if we can dig into this search
710
00:36:23,852 --> 00:36:26,219
of Superintendent Hastings' hotel room.
711
00:36:26,220 --> 00:36:28,219
- This has all been covered.
- Not by me.
712
00:36:28,220 --> 00:36:31,139
What were the grounds for the search?
713
00:36:31,140 --> 00:36:32,660
Section 18.5.
714
00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:39,993
Well, why then does
Document 12 in your folders,
715
00:36:39,994 --> 00:36:43,554
the arresting officer's report,
refer to Section 32
716
00:36:43,555 --> 00:36:46,099
as the legal power
used to carry out the search?
717
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:47,640
DI Brandyce?
718
00:36:49,220 --> 00:36:51,499
The correct search form was supplied.
719
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,019
Afterwards, yes, but initially it seems
720
00:36:54,020 --> 00:36:57,539
that the officers at the scene of
Superintendent Hastings' arrest
721
00:36:57,540 --> 00:36:59,059
were under the impression
722
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:02,219
that the search was being
carried out under Section 32.
723
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:03,629
You were there at that time,
724
00:37:03,654 --> 00:37:05,099
- weren't you?
- Yes.
725
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:10,520
So, under what power did you
carry out the search at the time?
726
00:37:12,380 --> 00:37:14,400
There was some confusion.
727
00:37:14,860 --> 00:37:17,320
I see that, DI Brandyce.
728
00:37:18,740 --> 00:37:22,619
You carried out the search
under Section 32.
729
00:37:22,620 --> 00:37:25,339
There's even the original
search form in the file.
730
00:37:25,340 --> 00:37:26,420
Thank you.
731
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:29,259
As we all know,
732
00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:31,939
Section 32 permits the search
of a premises
733
00:37:31,940 --> 00:37:34,779
the detainee was at
either at the time of his arrest
734
00:37:34,780 --> 00:37:36,899
or immediately prior to that arrest.
735
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:41,230
I refer to Document 13
in your folders, the statement
736
00:37:41,231 --> 00:37:44,739
given by Superintendent Hastings
on the 14th of March.
737
00:37:44,740 --> 00:37:48,859
Superintendent Hastings states
that he travelled from this office,
738
00:37:48,860 --> 00:37:52,739
Anticorruption Unit 12,
to the Edge Park Hotel.
739
00:37:52,740 --> 00:37:55,139
Superintendent Hastings
wasn't in his hotel room
740
00:37:55,140 --> 00:37:58,459
at the time of his arrest
or immediately prior.
741
00:37:58,460 --> 00:38:02,299
Section 32 was the incorrect legal power.
742
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:06,259
This mistake was detected
and corrected only after the search.
743
00:38:06,260 --> 00:38:11,379
As items MB1 and MB2 submitted in
evidence were detected unlawfully,
744
00:38:11,380 --> 00:38:14,240
I can't see how the cache of £50,000
745
00:38:14,241 --> 00:38:17,339
can be used in evidence
against Superintendent Hastings.
746
00:38:17,340 --> 00:38:19,219
Well, that is for a court to decide.
747
00:38:19,220 --> 00:38:23,819
Given what I've heard, the judge
will almost certainly exclude it.
748
00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:25,659
And it's the only evidence
that you've got
749
00:38:25,660 --> 00:38:29,520
linking Superintendent Hastings
to organised crime.
750
00:38:42,980 --> 00:38:44,369
I think we should call a temporary halt,
751
00:38:44,370 --> 00:38:47,219
giving my team time
to examine further evidence.
752
00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:49,739
Mr Hastings,
you'll be returned to custody
753
00:38:49,740 --> 00:38:52,579
and charged or released within
24 hours of your original arrest.
754
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:55,139
Approximately six hours.
755
00:38:55,140 --> 00:38:56,880
Interview terminated.
756
00:39:04,220 --> 00:39:06,780
- May I?
- Yes, yes, of course.
757
00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:15,299
Gill, I don't know what to say.
758
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:16,659
I am not going to lie, Ted,
759
00:39:16,660 --> 00:39:19,139
it is a good job that someone
was paying attention.
760
00:39:19,140 --> 00:39:21,396
God knows where your solicitor
was during all that.
761
00:39:21,397 --> 00:39:23,539
Everything is in here in black and white.
762
00:39:23,540 --> 00:39:25,899
I know, I don't know why
I didn't see it myself.
763
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:29,419
The idea that you are corrupt
is ridiculous.
764
00:39:29,420 --> 00:39:32,339
Clearly Mark Moffatt's
lying about the money.
765
00:39:32,340 --> 00:39:34,800
You don't have a bent bone in your body.
766
00:39:35,900 --> 00:39:38,179
This'll all go away, Ted.
767
00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:39,220
Trust me.
768
00:39:40,780 --> 00:39:42,704
Thanks, Gill. Thank you.
769
00:39:42,729 --> 00:39:44,280
- Yeah.,
- Yeah.
770
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:56,140
DI Fleming, DS Arnott to see DSU Powell.
771
00:39:57,140 --> 00:39:58,800
It's fine. I've got this.
772
00:40:03,220 --> 00:40:04,940
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am.
773
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:13,619
Detective Superintendent Alison Powell
774
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:16,139
with DI Fleming, DS Arnott, AC-12.
775
00:40:16,140 --> 00:40:19,139
Confirm that you grant permission
for this recording.
776
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:22,259
- DI Fleming, confirmed.
- DS Arnott, confirmed.
777
00:40:22,260 --> 00:40:25,579
We'd like to fill in some background
on how John Corbett was recruited.
778
00:40:25,580 --> 00:40:27,939
How was Corbett assigned as the UCO?
779
00:40:27,940 --> 00:40:31,139
John was one of a number of
candidates considered for the role.
780
00:40:31,140 --> 00:40:33,619
He presented with a distinguished record
781
00:40:33,620 --> 00:40:36,939
of successful operations
against organised crime.
782
00:40:36,940 --> 00:40:40,299
Did he come to you first, ma'am?
Did he volunteer?
783
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:42,540
What are you getting at, DI Fleming?
784
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:45,600
It's a straight question, ma'am.
785
00:40:46,180 --> 00:40:49,659
There was a short list.
The candidates were evaluated.
786
00:40:49,660 --> 00:40:52,059
Corbett was selected as
the right officer for the job.
787
00:40:52,060 --> 00:40:53,560
Who selected him?
788
00:40:58,220 --> 00:40:59,360
Look,
789
00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:04,099
I made the recommendations
on Corbett, this was my operation,
790
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:07,860
but you can't put all of this on me,
I wasn't the only person involved.
791
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,460
Who else was involved
in selecting Corbett?
792
00:41:20,220 --> 00:41:22,100
This is off the record.
793
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:28,219
How long have we got?
794
00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:30,379
Just a few hours.
795
00:41:30,380 --> 00:41:32,280
Going to have to blue-light it.
796
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:37,619
We just got the e-mail.
797
00:41:37,620 --> 00:41:40,484
I'm calling for authentication. Thanks.
798
00:41:40,485 --> 00:41:43,419
Edward Hastings, new evidence
against you has come to light.
799
00:41:43,420 --> 00:41:45,859
This evidence will be submitted
in written form
800
00:41:45,860 --> 00:41:48,059
and you and your solicitor
will have four hours
801
00:41:48,060 --> 00:41:49,619
to consider this evidence.
802
00:41:49,620 --> 00:41:51,859
- What new evidence?
- Great, thanks.
803
00:41:51,860 --> 00:41:53,419
Pending further investigation,
804
00:41:53,420 --> 00:41:55,499
I'll be seeking an extension of 12 hours
805
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:57,059
to your permitted custody time.
806
00:41:57,060 --> 00:41:59,739
- What evidence?
- Take him to the cells.
807
00:41:59,740 --> 00:42:01,720
Come on, Ted, we should do as they say.
808
00:42:12,580 --> 00:42:14,180
- Thank you, Tina.
- Ma'am.
809
00:42:15,380 --> 00:42:17,120
Looks like we've got him, ma'am.
810
00:42:18,740 --> 00:42:20,620
You nearly cost me this case.
811
00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:23,979
I'll be expecting your transfer request
812
00:42:23,980 --> 00:42:25,300
first thing in the morning.
813
00:43:07,820 --> 00:43:09,259
Mrs Corbett.
814
00:43:09,260 --> 00:43:11,819
We've got a new line of inquiry,
we need your urgent help with it.
815
00:43:11,820 --> 00:43:13,459
May we come in please?
816
00:43:13,460 --> 00:43:15,620
- Yeah, come in.
- Thanks.
817
00:43:57,220 --> 00:44:01,260
Subject is in the building. Repeat,
the subject is in the building.
818
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:10,420
This must be awful for you, Ted.
819
00:44:29,100 --> 00:44:31,219
Resuming interview of Edward Hastings.
820
00:44:31,220 --> 00:44:32,419
You remain under caution.
821
00:44:32,420 --> 00:44:35,099
Have you had an opportunity
to consider with your solicitor
822
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:36,940
the new documents disclosed to you?
823
00:44:38,020 --> 00:44:39,059
I have.
824
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,292
Edward Hastings,
825
00:44:41,293 --> 00:44:43,459
when was the last time you were
in contact with John Corbett?
826
00:44:43,460 --> 00:44:44,979
Never.
827
00:44:44,980 --> 00:44:46,699
And have you ever been near enough
828
00:44:46,700 --> 00:44:49,779
to make physical contact
with John Corbett?
829
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:51,380
Never.
830
00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:54,059
I'll ask you again.
831
00:44:54,060 --> 00:44:56,539
When were you last in physical
contact with John Corbett?
832
00:44:56,540 --> 00:44:58,299
I only ever saw the fella once.
833
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:00,276
It was across a very busy street
834
00:45:00,277 --> 00:45:04,019
during an AC-12 surveillance operation.
835
00:45:04,020 --> 00:45:05,739
It must have been 100 yards away.
836
00:45:05,740 --> 00:45:07,902
As you'll have seen
in the disclosure documents,
837
00:45:07,903 --> 00:45:10,179
specifically Document 106
in your folders,
838
00:45:10,180 --> 00:45:12,499
forensic examination
of John Corbett's body
839
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:15,179
has detected human hairs
not belonging to him.
840
00:45:15,180 --> 00:45:17,379
Said hairs were attached
to follicular cells
841
00:45:17,380 --> 00:45:19,419
which permitted DNA analysis.
842
00:45:19,420 --> 00:45:21,459
The DNA found in these follicular cells
843
00:45:21,460 --> 00:45:23,939
matches that of a person
on the police database
844
00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:27,339
who is a police officer
who has submitted a DNA sample
845
00:45:27,340 --> 00:45:31,179
for routine elimination
from crime scene contamination.
846
00:45:31,180 --> 00:45:33,459
As you know from the documents
disclosed to you,
847
00:45:33,460 --> 00:45:36,299
the DNA deposits detected
on John Corbett's body
848
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:38,779
match your elimination samples.
849
00:45:38,780 --> 00:45:42,099
I've never been within
100 yards of John Corbett.
850
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:43,659
Your DNA was found on his body.
851
00:45:43,660 --> 00:45:45,219
Can you explain this finding?
852
00:45:45,220 --> 00:45:47,899
I can't! It must have been planted!
853
00:45:47,900 --> 00:45:50,459
As a result of this evidence,
I have been in consultation
854
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:52,859
with the Senior Prosecutor
in the Complex Case Unit.
855
00:45:52,860 --> 00:45:54,099
I did not kill Corbett!
856
00:45:54,100 --> 00:45:55,979
She is satisfied that
the evidence against you
857
00:45:55,980 --> 00:45:58,419
is sufficient to charge you
with the murder of John Corbett.
858
00:45:58,420 --> 00:45:59,939
No, I'm being framed!
859
00:45:59,940 --> 00:46:02,197
I'd now like to move on
to examine your motive
860
00:46:02,198 --> 00:46:03,605
for murdering John Corbett.
861
00:46:03,633 --> 00:46:05,355
I did not murder Corbett!
862
00:46:05,380 --> 00:46:07,859
May I ask, given the gravity of
the murder charge,
863
00:46:07,860 --> 00:46:09,339
why are you continuing?
864
00:46:09,340 --> 00:46:11,683
I have been tasked with investigating
865
00:46:11,684 --> 00:46:13,245
the highest level of corruption
866
00:46:13,246 --> 00:46:14,859
between police officers
and organised crime,
867
00:46:14,860 --> 00:46:17,579
- the highest level.
- I am not corrupt!
868
00:46:17,580 --> 00:46:20,979
I'm the one who's leading
the fight against corruption!
869
00:46:20,980 --> 00:46:26,120
The highest level is
the individual codenamed H.
870
00:46:27,940 --> 00:46:30,729
Significantly, Cottan led AC-12's inquiry
871
00:46:30,730 --> 00:46:32,579
into the identity of the police officer
872
00:46:32,580 --> 00:46:35,579
believed to be the intermediary
for organised crime,
873
00:46:35,580 --> 00:46:37,019
codenamed The Caddy.
874
00:46:37,020 --> 00:46:39,419
The Caddy was identified
as being Cottan himself.
875
00:46:39,420 --> 00:46:42,859
Superintendent Hastings was
the Senior Investigating Officer
876
00:46:42,860 --> 00:46:45,220
on the inquiry into H.
877
00:46:46,820 --> 00:46:49,339
I see an interesting parallel there.
878
00:46:49,340 --> 00:46:52,659
No, no. There's no parallel there.
I'm not H.
879
00:46:52,660 --> 00:46:55,139
Still, there was
an allegation that you were.
880
00:46:55,140 --> 00:46:57,341
Why were you so reluctant to entrust
the investigation
881
00:46:57,342 --> 00:46:59,068
into an independent anticorruption unit?
882
00:46:59,093 --> 00:47:00,179
I wasn't.
883
00:47:00,180 --> 00:47:02,400
Why did you shoot Robert Denmoor?
884
00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:08,031
Image 76 on screen.
Image 76 shows Robert Denmoor,
885
00:47:08,032 --> 00:47:11,259
a violent criminal with known
associations to organised crime.
886
00:47:11,260 --> 00:47:12,899
Denmoor was incriminated in a plot
887
00:47:12,900 --> 00:47:15,259
to tamper with evidence
in Operation Trapdoor.
888
00:47:15,260 --> 00:47:17,739
Denmoor was shot
dead by Superintendent Hastings
889
00:47:17,740 --> 00:47:21,899
on the ground floor of AC-12's
headquarters on the 4th of May 2017.
890
00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:24,379
Yeah, Denmoor posed an immediate
threat to life
891
00:47:24,380 --> 00:47:27,139
and lethal force was required
to stop him.
892
00:47:27,140 --> 00:47:31,339
Therefore the Coroner recorded
a finding of lawful killing.
893
00:47:31,340 --> 00:47:34,979
The official report records there
were a dozen AFOs on the scene,
894
00:47:34,980 --> 00:47:36,459
and none of them opened fire.
895
00:47:36,460 --> 00:47:37,979
In fact, according to the report,
896
00:47:37,980 --> 00:47:40,519
you snatched a firearm
from a wounded AFO.
897
00:47:40,544 --> 00:47:41,611
Yeah, I did.
898
00:47:41,612 --> 00:47:44,379
The fatal round discharged by you
prevented questioning of Denmoor.
899
00:47:44,380 --> 00:47:46,499
Prevented the loss of life.
900
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,179
Denmoor would have been a key witness
901
00:47:48,180 --> 00:47:50,459
who could have confirmed Hilton as H.
902
00:47:50,460 --> 00:47:52,179
- Yes.
- Or excluded him.
903
00:47:52,180 --> 00:47:53,619
Yes, also.
904
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:55,739
You were prepared to lose
that priceless evidence,
905
00:47:55,740 --> 00:47:58,059
the same judgment you demonstrated
on the 12th of March
906
00:47:58,060 --> 00:48:01,699
when you ordered DS Arnott to deploy
lethal force against John Corbett.
907
00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:03,259
Look, I told you, Corbett was armed,
908
00:48:03,260 --> 00:48:05,819
he was responsible for the death
of Maneet Bindra,
909
00:48:05,820 --> 00:48:06,899
Lester Hargreaves,
910
00:48:06,900 --> 00:48:10,179
I gave the order to
safeguard my officer's life!
911
00:48:10,180 --> 00:48:12,847
Corbett was notifying DS Arnott
of a meeting
912
00:48:12,848 --> 00:48:15,459
with a high-ranking nominal
who could well have been H.
913
00:48:15,460 --> 00:48:18,019
Corbett was a liar.
914
00:48:18,020 --> 00:48:20,379
He was playing games with all of us.
915
00:48:20,380 --> 00:48:21,979
He was a decorated undercover officer
916
00:48:21,980 --> 00:48:24,339
whose courageous actions in the past
had brought to justice
917
00:48:24,340 --> 00:48:26,659
hardened members of
organised criminal groups.
918
00:48:26,660 --> 00:48:29,619
Corbett gave DS Arnott alone
the details of the meeting with H.
919
00:48:29,620 --> 00:48:30,659
He did.
920
00:48:30,660 --> 00:48:32,739
You ordered DS Arnott
to disclose those details?
921
00:48:32,740 --> 00:48:34,899
You're damn right I did,
I was his commanding officer,
922
00:48:34,900 --> 00:48:36,939
for Christ's sake.
What the hell's going on here?
923
00:48:36,940 --> 00:48:39,059
And at said meeting, the same day,
the 12th of March,
924
00:48:39,060 --> 00:48:41,135
at the Palisades Shopping Centre,
what happened then?
925
00:48:41,136 --> 00:48:43,819
- No meeting took place.
- Why do you think that was?
926
00:48:43,820 --> 00:48:47,259
Well, Corbett was about to be
apprehended by AC-12.
927
00:48:47,260 --> 00:48:50,059
I suspect that he, you know, lied
about the meeting at the Palisades
928
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:51,539
to secure his own escape.
929
00:48:51,540 --> 00:48:54,560
Or he was telling the truth
and the information was leaked to H.
930
00:48:56,060 --> 00:48:58,960
We detected no evidence of a leak.
931
00:48:59,820 --> 00:49:02,739
We examined your personal
communications records
932
00:49:02,740 --> 00:49:04,299
and found no suspicious calls.
933
00:49:04,300 --> 00:49:08,499
However I do need you to account
for two unexplained findings.
934
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:11,339
We've detected activity
in the vicinity of AC-12
935
00:49:11,340 --> 00:49:13,899
on unregistered mobile phones,
936
00:49:13,900 --> 00:49:17,619
so-called burner phones
used for illicit communications.
937
00:49:17,620 --> 00:49:21,099
We've identified a specific
burner phone. Tina, thank you.
938
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:24,059
Document 92.
Document 92 is a call history
939
00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:29,462
of an unregistered mobile, 07700900856.
940
00:49:29,463 --> 00:49:31,099
The device shows clusters of activity
941
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:34,139
in the vicinity of AC-12
over the last six weeks
942
00:49:34,140 --> 00:49:37,979
and also engaged in communication
with other burner phones.
943
00:49:37,980 --> 00:49:40,139
Cross checking with door entry
download data
944
00:49:40,140 --> 00:49:43,179
reveals only one AC-12 officer
was present in the building
945
00:49:43,180 --> 00:49:47,939
on every occasion 07700900856
was detected.
946
00:49:47,940 --> 00:49:50,779
That officer was
Superintendent Edward Hastings.
947
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:55,834
Is 07700900856 your phone?
948
00:49:55,835 --> 00:49:57,059
No, it is not.
949
00:49:57,060 --> 00:49:59,579
- Did you dispose of the phone?
- There was never a phone.
950
00:49:59,580 --> 00:50:02,620
Have you ever disposed
of a communications device?
951
00:50:05,260 --> 00:50:07,379
- Tina.
- Document 24.
952
00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:10,766
Document 24 shows screenshots
from a laptop
953
00:50:10,767 --> 00:50:13,059
forensically recovered
from the Flicker nightclub
954
00:50:13,060 --> 00:50:16,579
used by Lisa McQueen and
John Corbett to communicate with H.
955
00:50:16,580 --> 00:50:20,579
As we can see,
H issued his orders via text.
956
00:50:20,580 --> 00:50:22,626
I'll repeat the question.
Have you ever disposed
957
00:50:22,627 --> 00:50:24,419
- of a communications device?
- No.
958
00:50:24,420 --> 00:50:27,019
- PS Tranter, thank you.
- As stated by DCS Carmichael,
959
00:50:27,020 --> 00:50:29,619
we examined the communication
history of Edward Hastings.
960
00:50:29,620 --> 00:50:33,099
Document 28 in your folders
is said communication history
961
00:50:33,100 --> 00:50:35,419
relating to your personal
registered mobile telephone
962
00:50:35,420 --> 00:50:38,219
and your work registered
mobile telephone.
963
00:50:38,220 --> 00:50:41,579
From these phones we've been able
to harvest location data.
964
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:45,219
We detected suspicious behaviour
on the 5th of March.
965
00:50:45,220 --> 00:50:48,539
Location data places both phones
at the Edge Park Hotel
966
00:50:48,540 --> 00:50:50,939
around 15:00 hours that day.
967
00:50:50,940 --> 00:50:53,699
The user then switches off both
phones for the rest of the day.
968
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:56,659
When location data resumes
the next day, the 6th of March,
969
00:50:56,660 --> 00:50:59,259
the phones are back
in the Edge Park Hotel.
970
00:50:59,260 --> 00:51:01,859
Why did you switch off your phones?
971
00:51:01,860 --> 00:51:04,779
I... I really don't recall.
972
00:51:04,780 --> 00:51:08,539
Do you recall the significance
of that date, the 5th of March?
973
00:51:08,540 --> 00:51:11,019
- No.
- That night,
974
00:51:11,020 --> 00:51:13,859
the OCG carried out an armed robbery
at the Eastfield Depot,
975
00:51:13,860 --> 00:51:15,379
making away with seized goods
976
00:51:15,380 --> 00:51:17,819
with an estimated street value
of £50 million.
977
00:51:17,820 --> 00:51:19,739
Yeah, OK, look, I'm sorry.
978
00:51:19,740 --> 00:51:22,299
I mean,
the date must have slipped my mind.
979
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:25,579
Where were you from 15:00 hours
on the 5th of March?
980
00:51:25,580 --> 00:51:27,819
Well, I remained...
981
00:51:27,820 --> 00:51:31,099
I remained in and around
the Edge Park Hotel,
982
00:51:31,100 --> 00:51:35,219
on standby for developments
for AC-12's surveillance operation
983
00:51:35,220 --> 00:51:37,059
on the Eastfield Depot.
984
00:51:37,060 --> 00:51:40,579
This was a hugely important operation.
985
00:51:40,580 --> 00:51:43,779
Wasn't it essential
that you be contactable?
986
00:51:43,780 --> 00:51:46,259
Well, I... We'd established
a direct line of communication
987
00:51:46,260 --> 00:51:50,539
through Airwave radio and I had
direct dial access to my officers.
988
00:51:50,540 --> 00:51:52,939
My own works phone was redundant.
989
00:51:52,940 --> 00:51:55,240
Why didn't you attend
the operation in person?
990
00:51:55,860 --> 00:51:58,579
To ensure operational independence.
991
00:51:58,580 --> 00:52:03,459
DI Fleming, she acted as
the Tactical Firearms Commander
992
00:52:03,460 --> 00:52:06,459
under an independent
Strategic Firearms Commander.
993
00:52:06,460 --> 00:52:08,899
The result being that
your whereabouts were unknown
994
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:11,779
until you made contact via an
Airwave radio much later that night.
995
00:52:11,780 --> 00:52:13,379
That's neither here nor there.
996
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:16,419
We attempted to trace your movements
on the 5th of March.
997
00:52:16,420 --> 00:52:17,939
Tina, thank you.
998
00:52:17,940 --> 00:52:21,259
Starting from a radius of 100 metres
around the Edge Park Hotel,
999
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:23,299
we examined CCTV and traffic cameras.
1000
00:52:23,300 --> 00:52:24,779
Image 32.
1001
00:52:24,780 --> 00:52:26,180
Who's seen in this image?
1002
00:52:27,740 --> 00:52:28,819
Me.
1003
00:52:28,820 --> 00:52:30,500
What's the package you're carrying?
1004
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:34,139
I'm reserving comment.
1005
00:52:34,140 --> 00:52:35,819
We were able to trace the taxi's journey
1006
00:52:35,820 --> 00:52:38,339
to a drop-off point
in the Moss Heath area.
1007
00:52:38,340 --> 00:52:42,059
Again, we examined CCTV cameras
in a 100-metre radius.
1008
00:52:42,060 --> 00:52:43,779
Image 33.
1009
00:52:43,780 --> 00:52:45,400
Who's seen in this image?
1010
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:47,499
Me.
1011
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:49,360
What are you doing in this image?
1012
00:52:57,420 --> 00:53:00,379
We know from the recovered laptop
from the nightclub
1013
00:53:00,380 --> 00:53:04,139
that the OCG communicated with H
via online messaging.
1014
00:53:04,140 --> 00:53:07,902
Examination of the OCG laptop's
hard drive
1015
00:53:07,903 --> 00:53:13,485
revealed a sophisticated
re-routing system via various VPNs
1016
00:53:13,486 --> 00:53:15,913
to disguise H's IP address.
1017
00:53:15,914 --> 00:53:18,659
And while we're still unable
to determine H's location,
1018
00:53:18,660 --> 00:53:21,419
we know for certain that
the hard drive of the computer
1019
00:53:21,420 --> 00:53:24,179
would contain metadata
proving it was used
1020
00:53:24,180 --> 00:53:26,059
to communicate with the OCG.
1021
00:53:26,060 --> 00:53:30,920
Evidence that he would take
great pains to... dispose of.
1022
00:53:47,460 --> 00:53:48,540
OK.
1023
00:53:50,260 --> 00:53:53,440
Well, we shall come back to it.
1024
00:53:55,380 --> 00:53:57,659
As we've established, the night
of the 5th of March
1025
00:53:57,660 --> 00:54:00,740
saw the OCG robbery
at the Eastfield Depot.
1026
00:54:00,741 --> 00:54:02,566
At 22:40 hours that night,
1027
00:54:02,567 --> 00:54:05,556
a status zero radio call was
made by PC Kieran Bloom
1028
00:54:05,557 --> 00:54:07,819
requesting urgent assistance
to Farmer's Lane.
1029
00:54:07,820 --> 00:54:10,179
How did you respond
to that emergency call?
1030
00:54:10,180 --> 00:54:13,059
The Authorised Firearms Officers
who were giving assistance
1031
00:54:13,060 --> 00:54:15,619
to the AC-12 surveillance
of the Eastfield Depot
1032
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:18,659
were the nearest armed response unit.
1033
00:54:18,660 --> 00:54:22,299
And so given our responsibility
towards preserving life,
1034
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:26,219
I authorised the AFOs
to render assistance.
1035
00:54:26,220 --> 00:54:30,777
As a result of your actions,
the OCG were able to flee Eastfield
1036
00:54:30,778 --> 00:54:33,779
with £50 million worth of seized goods.
1037
00:54:33,780 --> 00:54:37,579
My decision was based on saving
police officers' lives.
1038
00:54:37,580 --> 00:54:40,019
Priceless, I would say.
1039
00:54:40,020 --> 00:54:43,059
H would have wanted the robbery
to succeed, wouldn't he,
1040
00:54:43,060 --> 00:54:45,219
so that he could have
shared in the proceeds?
1041
00:54:45,220 --> 00:54:46,980
That's hypothetical.
1042
00:54:49,740 --> 00:54:52,899
You went to a nightclub
known to be an OCG haunt,
1043
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:57,219
in the hope of effecting a meeting,
without independent authorisation.
1044
00:54:57,220 --> 00:55:00,419
Yeah, well, look...
You know, they'd killed Maneet,
1045
00:55:00,420 --> 00:55:04,179
they'd murdered Lester Hargreaves,
they'd held up the Eastfield depot.
1046
00:55:04,180 --> 00:55:06,979
- Time was running out.
- You pretended to be H
1047
00:55:06,980 --> 00:55:09,419
successfully enough for the OCG
to share with you
1048
00:55:09,420 --> 00:55:11,872
the proceeds of the Eastfield Robbery.
1049
00:55:11,873 --> 00:55:14,899
No. I was using them to find out
where the proceeds were hidden.
1050
00:55:14,900 --> 00:55:17,318
Who better to impersonate
H than H himself?
1051
00:55:17,319 --> 00:55:20,990
No. That is not what was happening!
It's like I told you,
1052
00:55:20,991 --> 00:55:23,019
look, time was running out.
I was desperate.
1053
00:55:23,020 --> 00:55:25,299
Well, it's convenient
to rationalise all this
1054
00:55:25,300 --> 00:55:27,539
as the desperation of a failing SIO.
1055
00:55:27,540 --> 00:55:29,419
But before we do,
1056
00:55:29,420 --> 00:55:33,219
let's consider the communications
made between Corbett and you
1057
00:55:33,220 --> 00:55:34,819
via a computer link. Tina.
1058
00:55:34,820 --> 00:55:37,259
Document 105 in your folders
and on screen.
1059
00:55:37,260 --> 00:55:41,939
Document 105 is a transcript
of a written message composed by you
1060
00:55:41,940 --> 00:55:45,060
and transmitted on the evening
of the 12th of March.
1061
00:55:46,220 --> 00:55:48,179
Please look at line 3, which reads,
1062
00:55:48,180 --> 00:55:50,179
"I can definately pull
the right strings."
1063
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:53,299
Note the misspelling of "definitely".
1064
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:56,539
Going back to earlier messages
believed to have been written by H,
1065
00:55:56,540 --> 00:56:00,739
please look at the message
transmitted on the 3rd of March,
1066
00:56:00,740 --> 00:56:04,939
"Eastfield Depot is definately high
risk." Again, note the misspelling.
1067
00:56:04,940 --> 00:56:07,579
How closely had you studied
the messages by H?
1068
00:56:07,580 --> 00:56:09,819
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Quite closely.
1069
00:56:09,820 --> 00:56:12,979
Closely enough to duplicate the
misspelling of this particular word?
1070
00:56:12,980 --> 00:56:14,659
Yes.
1071
00:56:14,660 --> 00:56:18,397
You're the SIO on one of the biggest
anticorruption operations
1072
00:56:18,398 --> 00:56:19,659
this force has ever seen,
1073
00:56:19,660 --> 00:56:23,539
and you have the headspace
to learn to spell like H?
1074
00:56:23,540 --> 00:56:25,019
Yes.
1075
00:56:25,020 --> 00:56:27,939
Isn't it more likely that you
inadvertently misspelled this word?
1076
00:56:27,940 --> 00:56:29,502
- No.
- No? Isn't it more likely
1077
00:56:29,527 --> 00:56:31,099
that you made the same mistake as H
1078
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:34,000
- because you are H?
- I am not H.
1079
00:56:37,020 --> 00:56:39,219
Looking at another part
of the impersonated message
1080
00:56:39,220 --> 00:56:42,419
you composed, line 4, "I need you
to bring all this to a close."
1081
00:56:42,420 --> 00:56:43,979
What did you mean by that?
1082
00:56:43,980 --> 00:56:47,059
What H meant was that
the Eastfield goods were a liability
1083
00:56:47,060 --> 00:56:49,139
and needed to be taken
out of the country quickly.
1084
00:56:49,140 --> 00:56:50,499
It could imply another meaning,
1085
00:56:50,500 --> 00:56:52,699
that you were giving the order
to execute John Corbett.
1086
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:54,819
No! Absolutely not!
1087
00:56:54,820 --> 00:56:57,299
What private material was stored
on the hard drive
1088
00:56:57,300 --> 00:57:00,219
of the laptop computer that
you erased on the 5th of March?
1089
00:57:00,220 --> 00:57:02,219
No, it's not relevant to this inquiry.
1090
00:57:02,220 --> 00:57:04,019
If we'd been able to find H's computer,
1091
00:57:04,020 --> 00:57:05,299
we'd have the proof we needed.
1092
00:57:05,300 --> 00:57:07,579
You disposed of your computer
because you knew that.
1093
00:57:07,580 --> 00:57:10,528
That it would prove beyond all
reasonable doubt that you are H.
1094
00:57:10,529 --> 00:57:11,476
No.
1095
00:57:11,501 --> 00:57:13,840
Then why did you dispose of the computer?
1096
00:57:20,380 --> 00:57:22,640
I was looking at pornography.
1097
00:57:23,220 --> 00:57:25,459
Nothing illegal, nothing extreme.
1098
00:57:25,460 --> 00:57:29,219
I just did not want it to be found.
1099
00:57:29,220 --> 00:57:30,659
That's all.
1100
00:57:30,660 --> 00:57:32,299
Nothing illegal or extreme,
1101
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:34,619
but you went to the lengths
of disposing of the computer?
1102
00:57:34,620 --> 00:57:37,539
Look, it was private stuff,
so, you know...
1103
00:57:37,540 --> 00:57:40,139
My wife has left me, and...
1104
00:57:40,140 --> 00:57:41,386
Jesus Christ.
1105
00:57:41,387 --> 00:57:43,859
Look, I really don't want to discuss it.
1106
00:57:43,860 --> 00:57:47,459
And after you entered the nightclub
as part of your...
1107
00:57:47,460 --> 00:57:50,481
...unauthorised undercover operation,
1108
00:57:50,482 --> 00:57:53,059
you were next located where
the Eastfield goods
1109
00:57:53,060 --> 00:57:54,539
were being concealed.
1110
00:57:54,540 --> 00:57:56,499
It was pure chance,
an active burner phone
1111
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:58,459
inadvertently left on by an OCG member,
1112
00:57:58,460 --> 00:57:59,579
that meant you were found.
1113
00:57:59,580 --> 00:58:02,379
We could be forgiven for thinking
that you didn't want to be found.
1114
00:58:02,380 --> 00:58:04,019
No, that's simply not true.
1115
00:58:04,020 --> 00:58:06,979
The net was closing in. Your
identity was slowly being unmasked.
1116
00:58:06,980 --> 00:58:10,999
You reunited with the OCG
in order to share in the profits
1117
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,018
of the Eastfield robbery.
1118
00:58:13,019 --> 00:58:14,620
Look, no... Look, look...
1119
00:58:15,940 --> 00:58:20,539
I had risked my life and my career
in order to catch them.
1120
00:58:20,540 --> 00:58:23,539
The two most precious things
to me in the whole world,
1121
00:58:23,540 --> 00:58:25,899
I laid them on the line,
1122
00:58:25,900 --> 00:58:28,539
because I was so determined,
1123
00:58:28,939 --> 00:58:32,699
and I was so desperate
that AC-12 would not fail.
1124
00:58:34,460 --> 00:58:36,459
Do you know, one thing
I keep going back to
1125
00:58:36,460 --> 00:58:40,307
is that dying declaration
by DI Cottan. Tina, thank you.
1126
00:58:40,308 --> 00:58:42,899
Cottan, your own officer,
named the top man as H.
1127
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:46,739
And now, finally, there's
overwhelming evidence that H is you.
1128
00:58:46,740 --> 00:58:48,459
I'm not H.
1129
00:58:48,460 --> 00:58:49,729
John Corbett was proving
1130
00:58:49,754 --> 00:58:51,214
- the trail led to your door.
- No.
1131
00:58:51,215 --> 00:58:52,300
That's why you had John Corbett
1132
00:58:52,325 --> 00:58:53,379
- murdered.
- No.
1133
00:58:53,380 --> 00:58:55,481
You ordered DS Arnott to shoot him dead.
1134
00:58:55,482 --> 00:58:57,059
- No.
- And when that plan failed,
1135
00:58:57,060 --> 00:58:58,859
you visited Lee Banks
in Blackthorn Prison
1136
00:58:58,860 --> 00:59:01,659
and revealed to him that Corbett
was an undercover police officer.
1137
00:59:01,660 --> 00:59:04,339
- No. No.
- But killing Corbett wasn't enough.
1138
00:59:04,340 --> 00:59:06,819
You needed to know what
he had on you, didn't you?
1139
00:59:06,820 --> 00:59:08,135
- No.
- And that was the biggest mistake
1140
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:09,339
that you made.
1141
00:59:09,340 --> 00:59:12,059
Because in the final meeting
with Corbett,
1142
00:59:12,060 --> 00:59:13,659
before you slashed his throat
1143
00:59:13,660 --> 00:59:15,619
and dumped him at the breakers yard,
1144
00:59:15,620 --> 00:59:18,338
one of your hairs
contaminated Corbett's body.
1145
00:59:18,339 --> 00:59:19,520
NO!
1146
00:59:21,020 --> 00:59:23,939
Edward Hastings, H,
1147
00:59:23,940 --> 00:59:26,539
I have been in consultation with
the Senior Prosecutor
1148
00:59:26,540 --> 00:59:29,579
at the Complex Case Unit and
I will now go back to her
1149
00:59:29,580 --> 00:59:32,819
seeking authority to charge you
with the murder of John Corbett,
1150
00:59:32,820 --> 00:59:36,979
conspiracy to commit armed robbery
and malfeasance in a public office.
1151
00:59:36,980 --> 00:59:38,619
I think it might be helpful
1152
00:59:38,620 --> 00:59:41,659
if Mr Hastings is given some time
with his solicitor.
1153
00:59:41,660 --> 00:59:42,900
Fine by me.
1154
00:59:44,220 --> 00:59:45,979
Thank you, Tina, well done.
1155
00:59:45,980 --> 00:59:47,260
Ma'am.
1156
00:59:52,900 --> 00:59:55,660
Interview terminated at 21:46.
1157
01:00:01,500 --> 01:00:03,020
Where's the AFOs?
1158
01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:07,259
Kyle?
1159
01:00:07,260 --> 01:00:08,699
Ma'am.
1160
01:00:08,700 --> 01:00:10,167
I thought there was meant to be
armed support
1161
01:00:10,168 --> 01:00:12,419
while the gaffer was being interviewed?
1162
01:00:12,420 --> 01:00:14,499
Looks like it's been scaled back.
1163
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:16,859
It'll be down to other
operational commitments.
1164
01:00:16,860 --> 01:00:19,520
- Always is.
- OK.
1165
01:00:26,860 --> 01:00:29,179
You've got to hand it to Carmichael.
1166
01:00:29,180 --> 01:00:31,979
There's a lot stacking up.
1167
01:00:31,980 --> 01:00:34,167
And that's with setting aside
1168
01:00:34,168 --> 01:00:36,219
the bundle of cash in your hotel room.
1169
01:00:36,220 --> 01:00:38,860
- Which I was about to return!
- All of it?
1170
01:00:41,300 --> 01:00:43,211
Moffatt denies any knowledge of the money
1171
01:00:43,212 --> 01:00:45,539
so nobody's put the exact sum to him.
1172
01:00:45,540 --> 01:00:48,779
But according to the files,
the amount required to buy in
1173
01:00:48,780 --> 01:00:51,560
to the property development
wasn't 50 grand...
1174
01:00:52,460 --> 01:00:54,139
...it was 100.
1175
01:00:54,140 --> 01:00:58,840
Now, if there is another
50 grand somewhere...
1176
01:00:59,780 --> 01:01:02,040
...eventually someone's going to find it.
1177
01:01:02,420 --> 01:01:04,059
Now, I'm on your side, Ted.
1178
01:01:04,060 --> 01:01:06,099
But if I was on a jury,
1179
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:08,859
I'd say this all looks damning.
1180
01:01:08,860 --> 01:01:10,819
Now, I'm confident I can talk
the PCC into
1181
01:01:10,820 --> 01:01:14,859
applying political pressure to
suppress Carmichael's investigation.
1182
01:01:14,860 --> 01:01:17,979
Much better to blow our trumpets
about recovering the stolen goods
1183
01:01:17,980 --> 01:01:20,120
and neutralising the OCG.
1184
01:01:20,940 --> 01:01:23,099
You'll have to accept a misconduct charge
1185
01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:26,059
for carrying out unauthorised operations
1186
01:01:26,060 --> 01:01:28,419
and resign from the force.
1187
01:01:28,420 --> 01:01:30,760
No doubt AC-12 will be disbanded.
1188
01:01:36,180 --> 01:01:39,979
Thank you, yes, the threshold tests
have been met definitely.
1189
01:01:39,980 --> 01:01:41,419
What's going on?
1190
01:01:41,420 --> 01:01:43,620
The DCS is on to the Crown Prosecutor.
1191
01:01:45,260 --> 01:01:46,820
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am.
1192
01:01:50,660 --> 01:01:52,820
- DS Arnott.
- DI Fleming.
1193
01:01:57,380 --> 01:02:00,459
Well, the last thing I need right
now is another knife in me back.
1194
01:02:00,460 --> 01:02:02,419
That was never our intention, sir.
1195
01:02:02,420 --> 01:02:04,880
Yeah? Funny way of showing it.
1196
01:02:06,260 --> 01:02:08,339
We've been making inquiries
into some of the gaps
1197
01:02:08,340 --> 01:02:11,419
in our understanding of Corbett's
involvement in Operation Pear Tree.
1198
01:02:11,420 --> 01:02:13,859
Yeah. Under whose orders? Hers?
1199
01:02:13,860 --> 01:02:15,899
No, sir, on our own.
1200
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:17,640
We're just trying to find the truth.
1201
01:02:19,420 --> 01:02:20,699
What's going on?
1202
01:02:20,700 --> 01:02:22,831
We've gathered further information
that may be relevant
1203
01:02:22,832 --> 01:02:25,339
- to your inquiry.
- You can brief me in private.
1204
01:02:25,340 --> 01:02:27,859
If it's OK with you, ma'am,
we intend to share our findings
1205
01:02:27,860 --> 01:02:31,019
with Superintendent Hastings
and his solicitor.
1206
01:02:31,020 --> 01:02:33,299
His solicitor is making calls.
1207
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:35,539
Yeah, well, they've come to talk to me
1208
01:02:35,540 --> 01:02:37,419
and I'd like to hear what
they've got to say.
1209
01:02:37,420 --> 01:02:40,640
Quite right. It's up to you
if you want to be in on it or not.
1210
01:02:42,820 --> 01:02:45,099
Operation Pear Tree
was originally authorised
1211
01:02:45,100 --> 01:02:47,739
following an instruction
from Rohan Sindwhani,
1212
01:02:47,740 --> 01:02:49,579
the Police and Crime Commissioner.
1213
01:02:49,580 --> 01:02:53,939
Sindwhani had made an election
promise to tackle police corruption.
1214
01:02:53,940 --> 01:02:57,619
The specific remit of Pear Tree
is to examine whether complicity
1215
01:02:57,620 --> 01:03:00,299
between organised crime
and police officers
1216
01:03:00,300 --> 01:03:02,779
has been institutionalised in this force.
1217
01:03:02,780 --> 01:03:04,579
Detective Superintendent Alison Powell,
1218
01:03:04,580 --> 01:03:06,459
having no connection to Central Police,
1219
01:03:06,460 --> 01:03:08,139
was brought in to lead Pear Tree.
1220
01:03:08,140 --> 01:03:10,339
Powell identified suitable
undercover officers
1221
01:03:10,340 --> 01:03:11,419
from outside forces
1222
01:03:11,420 --> 01:03:14,739
and submitted their CVs to
Deputy Chief Constable Andrea Wise.
1223
01:03:14,740 --> 01:03:16,459
Following a consultation process,
1224
01:03:16,460 --> 01:03:18,619
John Corbett was selected to be the UCO.
1225
01:03:18,620 --> 01:03:21,819
Bear in mind, Corbett's background
was available to be examined
1226
01:03:21,820 --> 01:03:23,179
as part of the process.
1227
01:03:23,180 --> 01:03:27,019
This was before his service record
was erased from the database
1228
01:03:27,020 --> 01:03:29,779
and large portions of the Pear Tree
files were redacted.
1229
01:03:29,780 --> 01:03:31,368
DSU Powell informed us
1230
01:03:31,369 --> 01:03:34,299
that PCC Sindwhani took no part
in the selection process,
1231
01:03:34,300 --> 01:03:36,379
but it was agreed
his Senior Legal Counsel
1232
01:03:36,380 --> 01:03:37,939
would act on his behalf.
1233
01:03:37,940 --> 01:03:39,581
I don't need to remind everyone
1234
01:03:39,582 --> 01:03:42,859
there's been controversies
surrounding undercover operations.
1235
01:03:42,860 --> 01:03:48,019
The PCC required assurances that
Pear Tree was legally watertight.
1236
01:03:48,020 --> 01:03:49,779
According to DSU Powell,
1237
01:03:49,780 --> 01:03:53,339
the Senior Legal Counsel
strongly favoured Corbett
1238
01:03:53,340 --> 01:03:56,019
and was instrumental in selecting him.
1239
01:03:56,020 --> 01:03:57,989
Corbett had a distinguished record
1240
01:03:57,990 --> 01:03:59,819
handling the perils of being embedded
1241
01:03:59,820 --> 01:04:01,739
inside an organised crime group.
1242
01:04:01,740 --> 01:04:04,379
He was by far the best man for the job.
1243
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:09,139
Ms Biggeloe, when did you first
become aware of John Corbett?
1244
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:14,160
When we looked at the files
to select an undercover officer.
1245
01:04:15,420 --> 01:04:17,339
Gill Biggeloe, you do not have to
say anything
1246
01:04:17,340 --> 01:04:19,810
but it may harm your defence if you
do not mention when questioned
1247
01:04:19,811 --> 01:04:21,163
something you later rely on in court.
1248
01:04:21,164 --> 01:04:23,580
Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.
1249
01:04:30,073 --> 01:04:31,273
OK.
1250
01:04:32,420 --> 01:04:34,179
Well, given that the DIR's off,
1251
01:04:34,180 --> 01:04:37,219
I'd like to make my own
personal recording.
1252
01:04:37,220 --> 01:04:38,779
Any objections?
1253
01:04:38,780 --> 01:04:42,299
I think we need to take
a step back, actually.
1254
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:43,659
Recording on.
1255
01:04:43,660 --> 01:04:46,859
If you could kindly bear with us, ma'am.
1256
01:04:46,860 --> 01:04:49,200
Ms Biggeloe, did you
ever meet John Corbett?
1257
01:04:49,820 --> 01:04:52,619
I refer you to my previous response.
1258
01:04:52,620 --> 01:04:54,019
DS Arnott.
1259
01:04:54,020 --> 01:04:56,485
As part of our inquiry,
we interviewed Corbett's widow,
1260
01:04:56,486 --> 01:04:58,379
Stephanie. On the first occasion,
1261
01:04:58,380 --> 01:05:01,139
she confirmed Corbett's
upbringing in Northern Ireland.
1262
01:05:01,140 --> 01:05:02,929
Following our interview with DSU Powell,
1263
01:05:02,930 --> 01:05:05,659
we went back to Mrs Corbett
with some specific questions
1264
01:05:05,660 --> 01:05:08,739
regarding John Corbett's recruitment
to Operation Pear Tree.
1265
01:05:08,740 --> 01:05:11,099
We managed to convince her to
cooperate with our inquiry
1266
01:05:11,100 --> 01:05:14,219
and reveal hitherto undisclosed evidence.
1267
01:05:14,220 --> 01:05:16,379
Following a lawful search
of the family home
1268
01:05:16,380 --> 01:05:18,059
under Mrs Corbett's guidance,
1269
01:05:18,060 --> 01:05:20,499
we recovered items concealed
by her husband.
1270
01:05:20,500 --> 01:05:23,059
Among the items was
an audio recording of a meeting
1271
01:05:23,060 --> 01:05:25,139
between John Corbett and Gill Biggeloe
1272
01:05:25,140 --> 01:05:26,939
which took place in January 2018,
1273
01:05:26,940 --> 01:05:30,619
a full month before the inception
of Operation Pear Tree.
1274
01:05:30,620 --> 01:05:34,259
Well, if such a recording exists,
it's inadmissible.
1275
01:05:34,260 --> 01:05:36,859
That is correct that if acting
on official police business,
1276
01:05:36,860 --> 01:05:40,456
Corbett would have required
authorisation from Ripa.
1277
01:05:40,457 --> 01:05:43,339
Yeah, well, he wasn't acting on
official police business,
1278
01:05:43,340 --> 01:05:45,579
and I can assure you that
my legal team and I
1279
01:05:45,580 --> 01:05:47,099
will move heaven and Earth
1280
01:05:47,100 --> 01:05:50,600
so that this particular recording
will be heard in court.
1281
01:05:51,660 --> 01:05:52,979
Playing recording.
1282
01:05:52,980 --> 01:05:55,899
The RUC officer who betrayed your mother,
1283
01:05:55,900 --> 01:05:57,640
his name's Hastings.
1284
01:05:58,500 --> 01:06:02,240
Superintendent Ted Hastings.
1285
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:07,059
He's a Super now. That's taking the piss.
1286
01:06:07,060 --> 01:06:08,739
How do you know all this?
1287
01:06:08,740 --> 01:06:12,179
From a private investigator who's
been looking into Hastings' past.
1288
01:06:12,180 --> 01:06:15,459
It's all in the file, chapter and verse.
1289
01:06:15,460 --> 01:06:20,139
You read it and then tell me
how you feel about my proposal.
1290
01:06:20,140 --> 01:06:21,880
I'm in. Tell me now.
1291
01:06:22,420 --> 01:06:25,780
We're setting up an undercover
operation to prove he's bent.
1292
01:06:26,820 --> 01:06:28,979
To finally bring down the man
1293
01:06:28,980 --> 01:06:31,059
who had your mother killed.
1294
01:06:31,060 --> 01:06:33,299
And it's definitely him, Hastings?
1295
01:06:33,300 --> 01:06:34,340
Yeah.
1296
01:06:37,260 --> 01:06:41,139
Gill Biggeloe sought incriminating
material on Superintendent Hastings
1297
01:06:41,140 --> 01:06:43,725
and then used it to manipulate
John Corbett
1298
01:06:43,726 --> 01:06:47,500
into believing
Superintendent Hastings is H.
1299
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,040
Why, Gill?
1300
01:06:58,860 --> 01:07:00,659
It's complicated.
1301
01:07:00,927 --> 01:07:02,167
We've got time.
1302
01:07:03,020 --> 01:07:04,560
Actually, you don't.
1303
01:07:08,420 --> 01:07:11,260
I'm TFC! Guns down. Stand by!
1304
01:07:13,020 --> 01:07:15,179
OK. We need to shut
this building down right now.
1305
01:07:15,180 --> 01:07:17,480
- Guns down now!
- Do as he says.
1306
01:07:18,980 --> 01:07:21,619
TFC now. Received, moving in.
1307
01:07:21,620 --> 01:07:23,179
Guns down.
1308
01:07:23,180 --> 01:07:24,899
Hands where we can see them.
1309
01:07:24,900 --> 01:07:27,320
- Hands above your head.
- Who authorised this?
1310
01:07:28,220 --> 01:07:31,299
We detected apparent security lapses
on entering the building.
1311
01:07:31,300 --> 01:07:34,179
The SFC authorised us to deploy firearms.
1312
01:07:34,180 --> 01:07:36,900
All your AFOs are being
disarmed as a precaution.
1313
01:07:43,300 --> 01:07:44,739
This burner phone,
1314
01:07:44,740 --> 01:07:47,859
it isn't the same burner phone
that I've been accused of owning,
1315
01:07:47,860 --> 01:07:49,979
by any chance, Tina, is it?
1316
01:07:49,980 --> 01:07:51,899
Tina, the number.
1317
01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:56,520
07700900856.
1318
01:08:01,180 --> 01:08:02,779
Oh, yeah.
1319
01:08:02,780 --> 01:08:04,259
There it is.
1320
01:08:04,260 --> 01:08:07,539
You see Gill only ever visited me
when she came to AC-12.
1321
01:08:07,540 --> 01:08:10,600
That's how you mistook
this phone for mine.
1322
01:08:13,140 --> 01:08:16,200
TFC, 6-4, any obs on OCG?
1323
01:08:17,060 --> 01:08:19,840
6-4, no contact yet, stand by.
1324
01:08:21,460 --> 01:08:23,819
Looks like the cavalry's
not coming over the hill.
1325
01:08:23,820 --> 01:08:27,499
Yeah, the last time Dot Cottan
sent that message out,
1326
01:08:27,500 --> 01:08:30,179
he was busted out in a couple of seconds.
1327
01:08:30,180 --> 01:08:32,699
Looks like you're not as valuable as him.
1328
01:08:32,700 --> 01:08:35,419
Or as valuable as you thought you were.
1329
01:08:35,420 --> 01:08:37,379
As valuable to who exactly?
1330
01:08:37,380 --> 01:08:40,499
Well, Gill told me that
she was a defence solicitor.
1331
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:43,019
You're going to meet a lot of
shady types doing that job.
1332
01:08:43,020 --> 01:08:48,139
So you get some major piece of work
off a serious criminal charge,
1333
01:08:48,140 --> 01:08:50,139
they put you on a retainer.
1334
01:08:50,140 --> 01:08:53,819
But these retainers, they come with
strings attached, don't they, Gill?
1335
01:08:53,820 --> 01:08:56,760
But I suspect that she was
enticed by the glamour.
1336
01:08:57,700 --> 01:08:59,179
Why frame the gaffer?
1337
01:08:59,180 --> 01:09:01,779
It's always more palatable
to offer up a rotten apple
1338
01:09:01,780 --> 01:09:05,219
than to uncover
institutionalised corruption.
1339
01:09:05,220 --> 01:09:10,499
And as AC-12 have been a constant
thorn in the side of the OCG,
1340
01:09:10,500 --> 01:09:14,340
what better rotten apple than their
commanding officer, right, Gill?
1341
01:09:17,900 --> 01:09:21,700
The money in the hotel room,
where did that come from?
1342
01:09:23,340 --> 01:09:25,659
I bet you asked some of
your little criminal mates
1343
01:09:25,660 --> 01:09:28,539
to slip that through to Moffatt,
am I right?
1344
01:09:28,540 --> 01:09:31,499
There's damning DNA evidence
against Superintendent Hastings.
1345
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:35,620
Hardly damning, a couple
of hair follicles? Come on.
1346
01:09:40,866 --> 01:09:42,226
Hang on.
1347
01:09:44,253 --> 01:09:46,253
Don't tell me, was that your doing, Gill?
1348
01:09:47,466 --> 01:09:48,905
Don't worry, Ted,
1349
01:09:48,930 --> 01:09:51,650
I'll spare your blushes
in front of everyone.
1350
01:09:54,220 --> 01:09:56,880
Gill used the bathroom of my hotel room.
1351
01:09:57,420 --> 01:10:00,499
She must have taken some hairs
out of the comb,
1352
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:04,840
passed them on to the OCG and
they planted them on Corbett's body.
1353
01:10:06,620 --> 01:10:08,020
Who killed Corbett?
1354
01:10:09,219 --> 01:10:10,699
Did you give the order?
1355
01:10:13,460 --> 01:10:16,659
We all know confessing
to conspiracy to murder
1356
01:10:16,660 --> 01:10:20,760
will make me ineligible
for immunity from prosecution.
1357
01:10:22,460 --> 01:10:25,712
And the institutionalised
complicity between organised crime
1358
01:10:25,713 --> 01:10:27,640
and corrupt police officers?
1359
01:10:28,740 --> 01:10:30,739
Have you not been listening, love?
1360
01:10:30,740 --> 01:10:32,579
There's no such thing.
1361
01:10:32,580 --> 01:10:34,460
I'm just one rotten apple.
1362
01:10:35,700 --> 01:10:38,099
Well, never mind betraying me, Gill.
1363
01:10:38,100 --> 01:10:40,859
Never mind framing me.
What about John Corbett?
1364
01:10:40,860 --> 01:10:44,600
I mean, you let him believe
that he was chasing the truth.
1365
01:10:45,060 --> 01:10:47,859
Justice for his mother,
1366
01:10:47,860 --> 01:10:50,179
for Christ's sake, for Anne-Marie.
1367
01:10:50,180 --> 01:10:52,499
But instead he was chasing a lie.
1368
01:10:52,500 --> 01:10:54,219
You set it running,
1369
01:10:54,220 --> 01:10:58,019
then you sat around as you watched
the dogs rip it apart.
1370
01:10:58,020 --> 01:11:00,920
A tragic, senseless death.
1371
01:11:06,460 --> 01:11:09,659
3-7, 6-4, sit rep.
1372
01:11:09,660 --> 01:11:11,880
6-4, still no obs.
1373
01:11:12,380 --> 01:11:13,600
Received.
1374
01:11:14,100 --> 01:11:16,619
Ma'am, it appears we no longer need
to defend ourselves
1375
01:11:16,620 --> 01:11:18,219
against a threat in this building.
1376
01:11:18,220 --> 01:11:19,619
I suggest we make arrangements
1377
01:11:19,620 --> 01:11:22,419
to transport
Miss Biggeloe to custody ASAP.
1378
01:11:22,420 --> 01:11:23,899
Agreed.
1379
01:11:23,900 --> 01:11:26,619
- I'll take care of that, ma'am.
- Thank you, Tina.
1380
01:11:26,620 --> 01:11:28,859
Gill Biggeloe,
you are under arrest for perverting
1381
01:11:28,860 --> 01:11:31,940
the course of justice
and misconduct in a public office.
1382
01:11:34,020 --> 01:11:36,600
Sir, I'd advise you
get out the building too.
1383
01:11:37,580 --> 01:11:39,520
Yeah. Thank you, Kate.
1384
01:11:45,820 --> 01:11:48,139
I'm afraid I'm going to have to cuff you.
1385
01:11:48,140 --> 01:11:50,619
Could be a trek to custody. You
might want to do a loo break now.
1386
01:11:50,620 --> 01:11:52,299
Thank you.
1387
01:11:52,300 --> 01:11:54,660
Going to have to come with you,
I'm sorry.
1388
01:11:56,220 --> 01:11:59,499
- 3-7, 6-4.
- 6-4 receiving.
1389
01:11:59,500 --> 01:12:02,339
We're sending down DCS Carmichael
and the gaffer.
1390
01:12:02,340 --> 01:12:05,419
We'll keep Gill Biggeloe up here
until we can provide escort.
1391
01:12:05,420 --> 01:12:07,840
- 6-4, received.
- Thanks, you two.
1392
01:12:08,420 --> 01:12:09,979
I don't know what to say.
1393
01:12:09,980 --> 01:12:11,739
You're welcome, sir.
1394
01:12:11,740 --> 01:12:13,240
Just doing our job.
1395
01:12:13,860 --> 01:12:16,040
It's a damn sight more than that.
1396
01:12:20,660 --> 01:12:22,060
I could murder a cuppa.
1397
01:13:06,420 --> 01:13:07,939
Ah!
1398
01:13:11,780 --> 01:13:13,060
Help!
1399
01:13:20,420 --> 01:13:21,780
Drop it!
1400
01:13:25,380 --> 01:13:28,099
Alpha Charlie 3-7, request urgent casevac
1401
01:13:28,100 --> 01:13:29,699
from AC-12 for two persons,
1402
01:13:29,700 --> 01:13:31,979
one low-velocity GSW, one knife wound.
1403
01:13:31,980 --> 01:13:34,659
- Gill, are you all right?
- Yeah.
1404
01:13:34,660 --> 01:13:35,920
Steve.
1405
01:13:36,820 --> 01:13:38,480
Steve, are you all right?
1406
01:13:40,826 --> 01:13:42,306
I never shot anybody.
1407
01:13:49,740 --> 01:13:53,860
Can you confirm, premises now secure?
1408
01:13:55,180 --> 01:13:57,099
Yes, confirmed.
1409
01:14:03,106 --> 01:14:04,386
Do you think she'll talk?
1410
01:14:05,580 --> 01:14:07,419
She'll want to make a deal.
1411
01:14:07,420 --> 01:14:10,200
Too fond of the finer things
to do a prison stretch.
1412
01:14:22,900 --> 01:14:25,939
The OCG didn't think Gill
was worth saving,
1413
01:14:25,940 --> 01:14:28,300
but someone gave the order
to stop her talking.
1414
01:14:30,826 --> 01:14:32,266
Who?
1415
01:15:00,300 --> 01:15:01,760
What is it?
1416
01:15:05,060 --> 01:15:07,980
Out of the way.
1417
01:15:09,100 --> 01:15:11,820
I'll start bagging, respiratory arrest...
1418
01:15:13,940 --> 01:15:17,019
Gone through my solicitor,
and she's advised me
1419
01:15:17,020 --> 01:15:19,019
to cooperate with your inquiry
1420
01:15:19,020 --> 01:15:22,059
but it all depends if there's
definitely immunity
1421
01:15:22,060 --> 01:15:25,120
from prosecution, and witness protection.
1422
01:15:25,940 --> 01:15:26,980
I want to help.
1423
01:15:28,740 --> 01:15:30,139
Maybe I could do something
1424
01:15:30,140 --> 01:15:32,539
to stop others from making
the same mistakes.
1425
01:15:32,540 --> 01:15:36,619
Immunity from prosecution and
witness protection has been agreed.
1426
01:15:36,620 --> 01:15:39,320
There is one final gap
we need to fill in.
1427
01:15:40,380 --> 01:15:43,419
How did you know that John Clayton
was an undercover officer,
1428
01:15:43,420 --> 01:15:44,700
DS John Corbett?
1429
01:15:46,153 --> 01:15:47,193
I didn't.
1430
01:15:48,180 --> 01:15:49,699
Just that he was a rat.
1431
01:15:49,700 --> 01:15:50,920
How?
1432
01:15:51,580 --> 01:15:53,820
The leak about the meeting
at the Palisades.
1433
01:15:55,220 --> 01:15:57,219
It could have only come from him.
1434
01:15:57,220 --> 01:15:59,059
How did that work?
1435
01:15:59,060 --> 01:16:02,859
John was told the top man wanted
to meet at the shopping centre.
1436
01:16:02,860 --> 01:16:05,699
We had a meeting point
on one of the walkways.
1437
01:16:05,700 --> 01:16:08,499
It was nice and public
so if anyone spotted us
1438
01:16:08,500 --> 01:16:10,900
they'd think twice about
trying to take us out.
1439
01:16:12,300 --> 01:16:15,580
No-one else in the unit knew about
the meet except for me and John.
1440
01:16:17,060 --> 01:16:20,019
We had one of our blokes working
the shopping centre in security.
1441
01:16:20,020 --> 01:16:22,779
He said he'd seen the coppers
waiting to ambush us.
1442
01:16:22,780 --> 01:16:26,160
So we knew for certain the leak
had to come from John.
1443
01:16:26,780 --> 01:16:29,560
What did Lee Banks reveal to you
about John Corbett?
1444
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:32,340
Only that there was a rat in the unit.
1445
01:16:33,380 --> 01:16:37,059
Hastings told Lee Banks
about Corbett, I'm sure of it.
1446
01:16:37,060 --> 01:16:38,580
She's lying to cover herself.
1447
01:16:39,580 --> 01:16:41,459
She knows if she admits
to killing Corbett
1448
01:16:41,460 --> 01:16:44,100
then she forfeits immunity
from prosecution.
1449
01:16:46,020 --> 01:16:47,619
What does Banks say?
1450
01:16:47,620 --> 01:16:49,220
He's still not talking.
1451
01:16:50,980 --> 01:16:52,699
Then, without his testimony,
1452
01:16:52,700 --> 01:16:55,500
you can't prove Hastings blew
Corbett's cover.
1453
01:16:56,540 --> 01:16:58,659
It's a dead end, Patricia.
Close the case.
1454
01:16:58,660 --> 01:17:02,520
- Ma'am, I think if I can just keep...
- You had a bent officer on your team.
1455
01:17:03,620 --> 01:17:05,100
Glass houses.
1456
01:17:11,980 --> 01:17:13,979
Which OCG members were involved
1457
01:17:13,980 --> 01:17:15,419
in the murder of John Corbett?
1458
01:17:15,420 --> 01:17:17,080
A few of them.
1459
01:17:18,580 --> 01:17:20,179
Not me.
1460
01:17:20,180 --> 01:17:21,859
They're all dead now.
1461
01:17:21,860 --> 01:17:23,459
Who inflicted the fatal knife wound
1462
01:17:23,460 --> 01:17:25,940
that caused John Corbett
to bleed to death?
1463
01:17:27,420 --> 01:17:28,780
He's dead now too.
1464
01:17:30,340 --> 01:17:31,940
Miroslav Minkowicz.
1465
01:17:33,540 --> 01:17:36,400
Are there any members
of the OCG still at large?
1466
01:17:38,260 --> 01:17:39,580
Not that I know of.
1467
01:17:48,140 --> 01:17:51,779
Where I grew up, it was easy
to fall in with the wrong crowd.
1468
01:17:51,780 --> 01:17:55,620
My mum, she was off her face on
drink and drugs a lot of the time.
1469
01:17:57,060 --> 01:17:59,157
The person who made me see
that there was another way,
1470
01:17:59,158 --> 01:18:01,052
to be a useful member of society,
1471
01:18:01,053 --> 01:18:04,020
was a police officer, PC Simon Bannerjee.
1472
01:18:05,020 --> 01:18:07,840
He's the reason why I wanted
to become a police officer too.
1473
01:18:08,860 --> 01:18:10,180
To help people.
1474
01:18:21,020 --> 01:18:22,980
- Sir.
- Sir.
1475
01:18:24,900 --> 01:18:27,659
We've been re-examining
Dot's dying declaration.
1476
01:18:27,660 --> 01:18:30,179
Now, the frame it was frozen on
during your interview
1477
01:18:30,180 --> 01:18:32,179
made me spot something we've all missed.
1478
01:18:32,180 --> 01:18:33,940
Look at Dot's left hand.
1479
01:18:40,513 --> 01:18:41,713
Watch again.
1480
01:18:47,100 --> 01:18:48,980
Right, so his fingers are tapping. So?
1481
01:18:50,180 --> 01:18:53,299
Dot was trying to tell us something
before he lost consciousness.
1482
01:18:53,300 --> 01:18:55,819
He couldn't speak due to
the gunshot wound to his chest,
1483
01:18:55,820 --> 01:18:57,420
but he could move his hand.
1484
01:19:00,220 --> 01:19:02,280
Tap, tap, tap-tap.
1485
01:19:03,500 --> 01:19:06,380
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
1486
01:19:08,540 --> 01:19:10,179
Morse code.
1487
01:19:10,180 --> 01:19:13,480
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
1488
01:19:14,580 --> 01:19:16,860
The letter H in Morse Code is four dots.
1489
01:19:18,060 --> 01:19:19,979
H is not an initial.
1490
01:19:19,980 --> 01:19:21,419
It's a clue.
1491
01:19:21,420 --> 01:19:22,819
Four Dots.
1492
01:19:22,820 --> 01:19:24,379
Four Caddies.
1493
01:19:24,380 --> 01:19:27,259
Four police staff
in league with organised crime.
1494
01:19:27,260 --> 01:19:28,859
Dot.
1495
01:19:28,860 --> 01:19:30,419
Hilton.
1496
01:19:30,420 --> 01:19:31,660
Gill.
1497
01:19:33,020 --> 01:19:34,420
Plus one more.
1498
01:19:35,699 --> 01:19:37,179
And they're still out there.
1499
01:19:40,100 --> 01:19:42,979
The Deputy Chief Constable
and I are pleased to report
1500
01:19:42,980 --> 01:19:46,259
Operation Pear Tree has completed
a thorough investigation
1501
01:19:46,260 --> 01:19:48,299
into institutionalised complicity
1502
01:19:48,300 --> 01:19:52,379
between organised criminals
and corrupt police officers.
1503
01:19:52,380 --> 01:19:55,539
Its robust findings couldn't be clearer,
1504
01:19:55,540 --> 01:19:59,200
there is no institutionalised
corruption in this police force.
1505
01:19:59,940 --> 01:20:02,779
This constabulary will work
tirelessly to root out
1506
01:20:02,780 --> 01:20:05,179
rotten apples in its ranks...
