CARMICHAEL: Hmm. DI Arnott,

290
00:16:43,692 --> 00:16:45,487
I've just learned
the vehicle was yours,

291

and keys to your home were
found on DI Fleming's person.

We've got keys to each other's

of his impending
retirement.

299
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,205
Ma'am, I must protest. That
information was confidential.

300
00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:15,655
And so, to ensure
a smooth transition,

301
00:17:15,758 --> 00:17:18,002
I've assumed command.
So, from now on, DI Arnott,

302
00:17:18,106 --> 00:17:19,279
you'll be taking
orders from me,

and you can assist within
parameters set by me.

315

Do you think
you can manage that?

00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:22,273
Hmm.
Chief Constable's orders.

322
00:18:22,929 --> 00:18:24,068
Thank goodness we did.

323
00:18:24,172 --> 00:18:27,106
My officers were going
about their lawful duty.

324
00:18:27,209 --> 00:18:28,900
Putting trackers
on their vehicles

325
00:18:29,004 --> 00:18:31,731
was a flagrant
breach of trust.

326
00:18:33,215 --> 00:18:35,044
No, you're right, Ted.

327
00:18:36,736 --> 00:18:38,703
The Chief and I
don't trust you.

328
00:18:40,533 --> 00:18:41,741

330

AC-12 interview
of acting detective

331
00:19:01,036 --> 00:19:02,417
Superintendent Joanne Davidson,

332
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,935
in the presence
of a solicitor,

333

334
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:07,422
by Chief Superintendent
Carmichael,

335
00:19:07,525 --> 00:19:10,563
Superintendent Hastings,
Detective Inspector Arnott.

336
00:19:10,666 --> 00:19:12,220
You remain under caution.

337
00:19:12,323 --> 00:19:13,462
Following your arrest,

338
00:19:13,566 --> 00:19:15,499
a search of your
registered address,

339
00:19:15,602 --> 00:19:18,018
apartment G-9,
Croxford Street

340
00:19:18,122 --> 00:19:19,710
was carried out
under section 18-1,

341
00:19:19,813 --> 00:19:22,713
of the Police and Criminal
Evidence Act, 1984.

it's a crime scene photograph

344
00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:29,168
captured during
the search of apartment

345
00:19:29,271 --> 00:19:30,859
G-9, Croxford Street.

346
00:19:30,962 --> 00:19:32,619
Who is seen in image 17?

347
00:19:34,725 --> 00:19:36,623
No comment.

349
00:19:39,281 --> 00:19:42,353
Document 22 is a scan of
Samantha Davidson's passport.

350
00:19:42,974 --> 00:19:44,700
Person seen an image 17,

351
00:19:44,804 --> 00:19:46,495
is Samantha Davidson,
correct?

352
00:19:47,979 --> 00:19:50,396
[clears throat] No comment.

353
00:19:50,499 --> 00:19:53,192
Document six in your folders
and on screen.

354
00:19:53,295 --> 00:19:55,746
Document six is acting
DSU Davidson's

00:19:55,849 --> 00:19:57,230
police personnel record.

356
00:19:57,334 --> 00:19:59,715
Next of kin is given
as Samantha Davidson.

357
00:19:59,819 --> 00:20:02,062
What is your relationship
to Samantha Davidson?

358
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:03,305
No comment.

359
00:20:03,409 --> 00:20:06,550
Oh, God, give me strength.
It's gonna be a long day.

360
00:20:06,653 --> 00:20:08,655
ARNOTT: We carried out checks
on Samantha Davidson.

361
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:12,176
Passport shown in Document 22
is the last one on record.

362
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,591
An interim death certificate
was issued

363
00:20:13,695 --> 00:20:16,939
for Samantha Davidson
on the 5th of January, 1996,

364
00:20:17,043 --> 00:20:19,252
by the Glasgow City coroner.

365
00:20:19,356 --> 00:20:21,772
Subsequent inquest
into Samantha Davidson's death

366
00:20:21,875 --> 00:20:23,532
recorded a finding of suicide.

367
00:20:26,052 --> 00:20:27,398
You all right, Jo?

368
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:31,126
The purpose of our questioning
is not to trigger

369
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:34,094
painful memories,
but rather to address...

370
00:20:34,198 --> 00:20:36,752
an important aspect
of our inquiry.

371
00:20:38,616 --> 00:20:40,687
Document 33 in your folders.

372
00:20:40,791 --> 00:20:43,311
Document 33 is
a forensic laboratory report

373
00:20:43,414 --> 00:20:46,314
submitted on the 19th
of November, 2020,

374
00:20:46,417 --> 00:20:48,799
relating to DNA deposits
detected during a search

375
00:20:48,902 --> 00:20:51,871
of 29 Stalton Drive
conducted up to and including

376
00:20:51,974 --> 00:20:54,322
the 16th of November, 2020.

377
00:20:54,425 --> 00:20:56,116
Comparison of said DNA deposits

378
00:20:56,220 --> 00:20:59,258
found 100% match with DNA
held on the national database

379
00:20:59,361 --> 00:21:01,363
belonging to Joanne Davidson.

380
00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:03,365
Further comparison
with criminal databases

381
00:21:03,469 --> 00:21:06,092
found a strong partial match
to John Thomas Hunter.

382
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:09,716
CARMICHAEL: Are you related by
blood to John Thomas Hunter?

383
00:21:10,959 --> 00:21:12,340
-No comment.
-Okay.

384
00:21:12,443 --> 00:21:14,514
Just gave you an opportunity
to declare whether or not

385
00:21:14,618 --> 00:21:17,206
you are familiar with
what we're about to disclose.

386
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:18,415
If not, you may find

387
00:21:18,518 --> 00:21:21,141
the following information
distressing. DI Arnott.

388
00:21:21,245 --> 00:21:23,661
ARNOTT: Document 33A.

389
00:21:23,765 --> 00:21:27,113
Further analysis of the DNA
found at 29 Stalton Drive

390
00:21:27,216 --> 00:21:29,702
detected run of homozygosity.

391
00:21:29,805 --> 00:21:32,014
This is an indicator
of a close blood relationship

392
00:21:32,118 --> 00:21:34,327
between the subject's
mother and father.

393
00:21:34,431 --> 00:21:36,364
With a percentage match
to Tommy Hunter,

394
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:39,021
it has been concluded
that Hunter was your uncle

395
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:40,540
and also your father.

396
00:21:45,234 --> 00:21:46,305
No.

397
00:21:50,032 --> 00:21:52,138
No. He... [clears throat]

398
00:21:52,241 --> 00:21:54,451
He was my uncle. That's...

399
00:21:55,037 --> 00:21:57,281
But that's not true.

400
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:04,806
So what is the truth?

401
00:22:05,807 --> 00:22:08,223
You can see
my colleague's distress.

402
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,707
Perhaps we could
have a short break.

403
00:22:09,811 --> 00:22:11,433
CARMICHAEL: It's a simple
enough question for Acting

404
00:22:11,537 --> 00:22:13,677
Detective Superintendent
Davidson to answer.

405
00:22:15,886 --> 00:22:17,232
No comment.

406
00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:22,858
Okay. I think
we should pause this interview

407
00:22:22,962 --> 00:22:25,447
and return you to custody
until such time,

408
00:22:25,551 --> 00:22:27,069
if any, you're willing
to cooperate...

409
00:22:27,173 --> 00:22:28,554
Ma'am, wait.

410
00:22:29,382 --> 00:22:30,383
Please.

411
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,386
Jo, if you're bent,

412
00:22:33,490 --> 00:22:36,147
fine if you wanna
run the clock down.

413
00:22:36,251 --> 00:22:37,356
We'll charge you,
and with the evidence

414
00:22:37,459 --> 00:22:39,358
we've got, you'll go away
for a long time.

415
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,119
But if you're not bent,

416
00:22:42,222 --> 00:22:44,017
this is your chance
to prove it.

417
00:22:45,812 --> 00:22:48,436
These things we've learned
about your family history,

418
00:22:48,539 --> 00:22:50,852
no one can be blamed
for what they're born into.

419
00:22:50,955 --> 00:22:52,405
Or the path
that it puts them on.

420
00:22:53,889 --> 00:22:55,684
Now's the time
to give your side.

421
00:23:04,935 --> 00:23:06,212
No comment.

422
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:11,390
You were still only a teenager
when you lost your mum.

423
00:23:11,493 --> 00:23:12,839
It must have been
very upsetting.

424
00:23:15,566 --> 00:23:17,050
No comment.

425
00:23:17,154 --> 00:23:19,225
If you think you're going to
wear us down,

426
00:23:19,328 --> 00:23:21,503
Acting Detective
Superintendent Davidson,

427
00:23:21,607 --> 00:23:24,575
you have got
another thing coming.

428
00:23:24,679 --> 00:23:25,956
DI Arnott.

429
00:23:26,059 --> 00:23:28,337
The search of apartment
G-9 Croxford Street

430
00:23:28,441 --> 00:23:30,270
detected an article
seized in evidence

431
00:23:30,374 --> 00:23:33,204
appearing onscreen
in Image 11.

432
00:23:33,308 --> 00:23:35,862
Image 11 shows
item reference PW-5,

433
00:23:35,966 --> 00:23:37,312
a laptop computer.

434
00:23:38,106 --> 00:23:39,487
Whose device is this?

ARNOTT: Forensic examination
of PW-5 detected fingerprints

437
00:23:45,596 --> 00:23:48,116
and DNA deposits
relating to one person only.

438
00:23:48,219 --> 00:23:49,428
Said fingerprints and DNA

439
00:23:49,531 --> 00:23:51,153
are a match
for Joanne Davidson.

440
00:23:52,948 --> 00:23:55,330
For what purpose
did you employ this device?

443

AC-12's Cybercrime Department

444
00:24:02,682 --> 00:24:05,305
carried out an examination
of PW-5's hard drive.

445
00:24:05,409 --> 00:24:08,239
Their findings are fully
summarised in Document 56.

446
00:24:08,343 --> 00:24:09,931
There are numerous
text conversations

447
00:24:10,034 --> 00:24:12,796
between the user of PW-5
and an unknown user.

448
00:24:12,899 --> 00:24:15,695
Who are the participants
in these text conversations?

No comment.

450
00:24:17,766 --> 00:24:20,113
Our Cybercrime Department
detected an IP address

451
00:24:20,217 --> 00:24:24,117
for the PW-5 user
matching 9 Croxford Street.

452
00:24:24,221 --> 00:24:27,155
The IP address for the unknown
user is located in Spain.

No comment.

456
00:24:34,196 --> 00:24:36,095
Jesus, Mary and Joseph
and the wee donkey,

457
00:24:36,198 --> 00:24:37,441
can we just move
this thing along

458
00:24:37,545 --> 00:24:39,719
before it drives us all
round the bloody bend?

459
00:24:39,823 --> 00:24:40,824
DI Arnott.

460
00:24:40,927 --> 00:24:42,066
Please refer to the screen,

461
00:24:42,170 --> 00:24:43,447
which shows
a text conversation

462
00:24:43,551 --> 00:24:46,968
which took place on
the 22nd of November, 21:42,

463
00:24:47,071 --> 00:24:50,316
between the user of PW-5
and an unknown user.

464
00:24:50,419 --> 00:24:53,043
Can you tell us what is meant
by the instruction...

465
00:24:53,561 --> 00:24:55,045
"Get rid of her"?

466
00:24:56,391 --> 00:24:57,496
No comment.

467
00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:00,188
You agreed to lure
DI Fleming to her death.

468
00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:02,259
That's about the top
and bottom of it, isn't it?

469
00:25:04,019 --> 00:25:05,089
No comment.

470
00:25:05,193 --> 00:25:06,643
[sighs] Look,
you could say no comment

471
00:25:06,746 --> 00:25:09,162
till you're blue in the face,
but we know what's what.

472
00:25:09,266 --> 00:25:11,095
DI Fleming made a call
to DI Arnott

473
00:25:11,199 --> 00:25:12,649
just minutes before
an illicit rendezvous

474
00:25:12,752 --> 00:25:15,583
took place between you
and PC Ryan Pilkington.

475

No comment.

476
00:25:18,896 --> 00:25:20,380
You lured her
to that rendezvous,

477
00:25:20,484 --> 00:25:22,037
and there is the evidence
up there

478
00:25:22,141 --> 00:25:24,626
on the screen
in black and white.

479
00:25:24,730 --> 00:25:27,249
Conspiracy to murder
which, as you know,

480
00:25:27,353 --> 00:25:29,148
Acting Detective
Superintendent Davidson,

481
00:25:29,251 --> 00:25:32,565
brings with it
a life sentence.

482
00:25:32,669 --> 00:25:35,188
And that's before we get
to the rest of the evidence,

483
00:25:35,292 --> 00:25:38,053
which I would describe
as a mountain,

484
00:25:38,606 --> 00:25:41,056
a mountain of evidence.

485
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,300
We haven't even
scratched the surface.

486
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:47,615
[sniffles]

487
00:25:50,928 --> 00:25:52,447
I was asking about your mum.

488
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:58,039
Yes.

489
00:25:58,142 --> 00:25:59,558
She took her own life.

490
00:26:03,941 --> 00:26:05,287
Yes.

491
00:26:07,048 --> 00:26:08,567
This must be
very painful for you,

492
00:26:08,670 --> 00:26:10,569
but do you think
you can speak about that?

493
00:26:13,917 --> 00:26:17,265
She was born into it,
same as me.

494
00:26:18,887 --> 00:26:21,131
Hated what our family
stood for.

495
00:26:22,339 --> 00:26:24,652
Her brother told me...

496
00:26:26,274 --> 00:26:27,516
what a piece of work he was.

497
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:28,656
Oh, yeah,
you don't need to tell us

498
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:31,072
what he was capable of,
believe you me.

499
00:26:31,866 --> 00:26:33,592
He controlled mum's life.

500
00:26:34,247 --> 00:26:36,042
Did he control yours?

501
00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:40,012
Not at first. [sniffles]

502
00:26:42,531 --> 00:26:44,292
My mum was still a girl.

503
00:26:44,741 --> 00:26:46,018
Fifteen.

504
00:26:46,812 --> 00:26:48,537
Raped, she told me.

505
00:26:50,747 --> 00:26:52,749
Though I never knew
the details.

506
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:58,133
Forced to go through
with the pregnancy.

507
00:26:58,755 --> 00:27:00,239
Tommy sent her away,

508
00:27:00,342 --> 00:27:02,621
back to Glasgow
under her mum's maiden name.

509
00:27:04,312 --> 00:27:06,625
I had no idea
about any of this

510
00:27:06,728 --> 00:27:08,868
until Tommy came looking.

511
00:27:08,972 --> 00:27:10,629
But that was later. Yes?

512
00:27:11,664 --> 00:27:14,633
I'd just turned 16.

513
00:27:14,736 --> 00:27:17,083
He'd heard
I was doing well in school.

514
00:27:17,187 --> 00:27:20,155
Never been in trouble.
Plus, no one knew me here.

515
00:27:21,294 --> 00:27:23,020
He wanted me for the police.

516
00:27:23,124 --> 00:27:25,954
He said, to do his bidding,

517
00:27:26,058 --> 00:27:27,818
to be under his control.

518
00:27:30,856 --> 00:27:32,064
[shudders]

519
00:27:37,897 --> 00:27:39,934
My mum
couldn't bear the thought

520
00:27:40,037 --> 00:27:42,108
of me being with Uncle Tommy.

521
00:27:42,212 --> 00:27:44,283
She knew
she couldn't protect me.

522
00:27:45,836 --> 00:27:47,527
That's why
she took her own life.

523
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:51,359
[sniffles] Yes.

524
00:27:52,429 --> 00:27:54,707
It's all right. Take
your time. Take your time.

525
00:27:55,535 --> 00:27:57,020
You're doing well, Jo.

526
00:28:00,713 --> 00:28:03,302
So Tommy hid from you
he was your real father?

527
00:28:04,959 --> 00:28:06,236
Yes.

528
00:28:07,444 --> 00:28:09,273
Who did you believe
was your father?

529
00:28:14,037 --> 00:28:15,624
This person,

530
00:28:15,728 --> 00:28:17,868
did he control you
the same way Tommy Hunter did?

531
00:28:17,972 --> 00:28:19,318
MAN: We can all see
my colleague finds

532
00:28:19,421 --> 00:28:22,424
this line of questioning
extremely distressing.

533
00:28:22,528 --> 00:28:24,150
In regard
to coercion and control,

534
00:28:24,254 --> 00:28:26,705
my colleague should be treated
as a vulnerable person.

535
00:28:26,808 --> 00:28:27,844
We'll move on. Tommy Hunter's

536
00:28:27,947 --> 00:28:29,293
no longer
a person of interest.

537
00:28:29,397 --> 00:28:31,019
I mean, he became an informant
and was killed

538
00:28:31,123 --> 00:28:34,126
by his own organisation
in 2014.

539
00:28:34,229 --> 00:28:37,198
It wasn't simply that
he was an informant, ma'am.

540
00:28:38,889 --> 00:28:40,063
What do you mean?

541
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:42,306
Tommy had
cultivated relationships

542
00:28:42,410 --> 00:28:44,239
with corrupt police officers.

543
00:28:44,343 --> 00:28:46,414
But they started
to turn against him.

544
00:28:47,691 --> 00:28:49,382
He felt betrayed,

545
00:28:50,798 --> 00:28:53,939
so he threatened
to expose the mole.

546
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:57,666
So it was police officers
who got Hunter killed?

547
00:28:57,770 --> 00:29:00,117
They were heavily involved.

548
00:29:00,221 --> 00:29:01,912
As you know,
your former officer,

549
00:29:02,016 --> 00:29:04,950
DI Matthew Cottan,
he orchestrated the plan.

550
00:29:05,053 --> 00:29:06,675
Cottan was a disgrace
to the uniform.

551
00:29:06,779 --> 00:29:08,712
He betrayed the trust
of every single one of us

552
00:29:08,816 --> 00:29:10,058
that he worked with.

553
00:29:10,162 --> 00:29:11,301
ARNOTT:
So someone took Tommy's place

554
00:29:11,404 --> 00:29:12,681
at the top
of the organisation,

555
00:29:12,785 --> 00:29:15,132
and he gave Cottan
the order to kill Tommy?

556
00:29:15,236 --> 00:29:17,997
Tommy held it altogether.

557
00:29:18,101 --> 00:29:20,689
It broke up
into disparate elements.

558
00:29:20,793 --> 00:29:22,105
Smaller OCGs.

559
00:29:22,208 --> 00:29:23,692
The only thing
that united them was

560
00:29:23,796 --> 00:29:24,935
how much they stood to lose

561
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:26,557
if Tommy carried out
his threat.

562
00:29:26,661 --> 00:29:28,249
'Cause they relied
on corrupt officers

563
00:29:28,352 --> 00:29:30,527
to carry out many of their
criminal enterprises?

564
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:32,253
Yes.

565
00:29:32,356 --> 00:29:35,221
And they wanted to be able
to continue exploiting them.

566
00:29:35,325 --> 00:29:37,776
Yes, well, the OCGs, they may
not be working to one man,

567
00:29:37,879 --> 00:29:40,261
but the bent coppers,
that's a different story.

568
00:29:40,364 --> 00:29:41,400
They're a network,
aren't they?

569
00:29:41,503 --> 00:29:43,091
This force has detected
no evidence

570
00:29:43,195 --> 00:29:44,644
of institutionalised
corruption.

571
00:29:44,748 --> 00:29:47,233
We have identified a number
of high-ranking figures

572
00:29:47,337 --> 00:29:50,236
in a clandestine network
of corrupt police officers.

573
00:29:50,340 --> 00:29:51,720
Hypothetical network.

574
00:29:51,824 --> 00:29:53,377
One such high-ranking figure,

575
00:29:53,481 --> 00:29:55,207
once erroneously codenamed H,

576
00:29:55,310 --> 00:29:57,519
we now refer to
as the fourth man,

577
00:29:57,623 --> 00:29:58,693
is he running the show?

578
00:30:00,764 --> 00:30:01,800
No comment.

579
00:30:03,284 --> 00:30:05,286
We're here to examine
DCI Davidson's offending.

580
00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:07,702
-No one else's.
-Alleged offending.

581
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:09,600
HASTINGS: Are you taking
your orders from him?

582
00:30:09,704 --> 00:30:11,188
Who is the fourth man?

583
00:30:13,328 --> 00:30:15,606
-I don't know.
-I don't believe you.

584
00:30:15,710 --> 00:30:17,401
Let's move on. Turning
to Operation Lighthouse,

585
00:30:17,505 --> 00:30:19,610
the inquiry
into the murder of Gail Vella,

586
00:30:19,714 --> 00:30:22,406
opened on the 10th
of September, 2019.

587
00:30:22,510 --> 00:30:25,099
You became senior
investigating officer when?

588
00:30:25,202 --> 00:30:27,618
The following month,
6th of October.

589
00:30:27,722 --> 00:30:28,688
Your predecessor was removed

590
00:30:28,792 --> 00:30:31,415
allegedly due to the inquiry's
slow progress.

591
00:30:32,796 --> 00:30:34,660
How did you
come to be appointed?

592
00:30:35,592 --> 00:30:38,181
I'm an experienced
murder investigator.

593
00:30:39,182 --> 00:30:41,080
ARNOTT: Image 24 on screen.

594
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,707
What is shown on Image 24?

595
00:30:47,811 --> 00:30:49,330
No comment.

596
00:30:49,433 --> 00:30:52,333
Image 24 shows
item reference FD-8

597
00:30:52,436 --> 00:30:54,542
seized in evidence
during a search of apartment

598
00:30:54,645 --> 00:30:56,199
G-9 Croxford Street.

599
00:30:56,302 --> 00:30:58,442
Document 39 in your folders.

600
00:30:58,546 --> 00:31:01,860
Document 39 is a photocopy
of the content of FD-8.

601
00:31:01,963 --> 00:31:03,758
You will see that FD-8
contain documents

602
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:05,449
relating to Operation Lighthouse.

603
00:31:05,553 --> 00:31:06,899
Now these documents
were not present

604
00:31:07,003 --> 00:31:08,211
at Hillside Lane
Police Station

605
00:31:08,314 --> 00:31:10,178
on the 4th of November
of this year,

606
00:31:10,282 --> 00:31:11,904
when AC-12 seized all files

607
00:31:12,008 --> 00:31:13,388
relating to Operation Lighthouse.

608
00:31:13,492 --> 00:31:15,528
Why were these documents
in your apartment?

609
00:31:17,013 --> 00:31:18,359
No comment.

610
00:31:18,462 --> 00:31:20,188
HASTINGS: These documents
revealed for the first time

611
00:31:20,292 --> 00:31:22,604
that Detective Superintendent
Ian Buckells noted

612
00:31:22,708 --> 00:31:26,505
that your predecessor and SIO
was pursuing a line of inquiry

613
00:31:26,608 --> 00:31:29,197
that Gail Vella's murder
was a contract killing

614
00:31:29,301 --> 00:31:31,303
carried out
by organised criminals.

615
00:31:31,406 --> 00:31:33,892
However, Detective
Superintendent Buckells

616
00:31:33,995 --> 00:31:35,686
then wrote a memorandum
suggesting that

617
00:31:35,790 --> 00:31:38,517
the SIO was failing
to make any progress

618
00:31:38,620 --> 00:31:41,244
and that a new SIO
be appointed.

619
00:31:41,347 --> 00:31:44,212
Buckells mentions you by name.
Did you ever work together?

620
00:31:45,179 --> 00:31:47,112
Not to my knowledge.

621
00:31:47,215 --> 00:31:50,287
Hmm. So what motivated
Ian Buckells nominating you

622
00:31:50,391 --> 00:31:52,255
to be the senior
investigating officer

623
00:31:52,358 --> 00:31:53,739
on the Gail Vella murder?

624
00:31:53,842 --> 00:31:55,223
You'd have to ask
Ian Buckells.

625
00:31:55,327 --> 00:31:56,397
HASTINGS: Yes, well, we did,

626
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:59,469
and he denies all knowledge
of the documents.

627
00:31:59,572 --> 00:32:01,333
ARNOTT: The same way
he still claims no knowledge

628
00:32:01,436 --> 00:32:03,093
of the missing
Operation Lighthouse files

629
00:32:03,197 --> 00:32:05,820
subsequently found hidden
in his service vehicle.

630
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:08,927
Did you,
or someone close to you,

631
00:32:09,030 --> 00:32:10,204
engineer your appointment

632
00:32:10,307 --> 00:32:12,447
with Buckells
as the convenient stooge?

633
00:32:12,965 --> 00:32:14,242
No comment.

634
00:32:14,346 --> 00:32:16,244
You see, the last thing that
organised crime would want

635
00:32:16,348 --> 00:32:18,419
is Operation Lighthouse
coming knocking on their door.

636
00:32:18,522 --> 00:32:20,110
So they had to put in
a new SIO

637
00:32:20,214 --> 00:32:22,078
to suppress
that line of inquiry

638
00:32:22,181 --> 00:32:24,494
in favour of a random
act of violence

639
00:32:24,597 --> 00:32:27,911
perpetrated by a disturbed
individual acting alone.

640
00:32:28,015 --> 00:32:30,879
A frame that neatly fits
Terry Boyle.

641
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:33,227
I refused
to charge Terry Boyle.

642
00:32:33,917 --> 00:32:35,332
ARNOTT: Well, why not?

643
00:32:35,436 --> 00:32:36,989
There was just about
enough evidence.

644
00:32:37,093 --> 00:32:39,543
Why did you not seek authority
to charge Boyle?

645
00:32:42,443 --> 00:32:44,376
HASTINGS: Was it because you
couldn't go through with it?

646
00:32:48,173 --> 00:32:50,416
Is it because you just
couldn't live with the idea

647
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,281
of sending an innocent man
to trial?

648
00:32:55,007 --> 00:32:56,284
Yes.

649
00:32:57,527 --> 00:33:00,150
Good. At last,
we're getting somewhere.

650
00:33:00,254 --> 00:33:02,152
Okay, let's examine
the other recent prime suspect

651
00:33:02,256 --> 00:33:04,258
identified by Operation Lighthouse.

652
00:33:04,879 --> 00:33:06,950
Image 29 on screen.

653
00:33:07,054 --> 00:33:09,504
Image 29 shows
Terry Boyle on the right.

654
00:33:09,608 --> 00:33:12,024
On the left,
Image 29 shows Carl Banks.

655
00:33:12,128 --> 00:33:13,888
Carl Banks
was a nonviolent offender

656
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:16,270
with lifelong links
to organised crime.

657
00:33:16,373 --> 00:33:17,754
On the night
of the 26th of October,

658
00:33:17,857 --> 00:33:19,894
the Murder Investigation Team
received a tip-off

659
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:22,483
that an individual who was
almost certainly Carl Banks

660
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:25,072
had confessed
to the murder of Gail Vella.

661
00:33:25,175 --> 00:33:27,074
As a result
of delays and leaks,

662
00:33:27,177 --> 00:33:29,076
Carl Banks was abducted
and murdered

663
00:33:29,179 --> 00:33:31,147
and Terry Boyle
installed in his place.

664
00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:34,012
PS Farida Jatri was charged
with leaking the information

665
00:33:34,115 --> 00:33:38,395
based on evidence
seized from 29 Stalton Drive.

666
00:33:38,499 --> 00:33:42,192
The address where she claims
the two of you lived.

667
00:33:42,296 --> 00:33:45,023
Did you plant evidence
against Farida Jatri?

668
00:33:47,646 --> 00:33:48,716
No comment.

669
00:33:50,787 --> 00:33:52,168
You've already told us

670
00:33:52,271 --> 00:33:55,378
that you were coerced
into a life of crime,

671
00:33:55,481 --> 00:33:59,002
that you were forced
to mislead and deceive.

672
00:33:59,106 --> 00:34:01,349
Here, now, you have a choice.

673
00:34:02,109 --> 00:34:05,284
A choice to tell the truth.

674
00:34:13,948 --> 00:34:16,123
I planted the burner phones.

675
00:34:16,226 --> 00:34:17,814
Farida's innocent.

676
00:34:18,746 --> 00:34:19,816
Good.

677
00:34:20,955 --> 00:34:23,130
Good.

678
00:34:23,233 --> 00:34:25,684
Who leaked the information
regarding the operation

679
00:34:25,787 --> 00:34:27,237
to arrest Carl Banks?

680
00:34:27,686 --> 00:34:28,825
I did.

681
00:34:28,928 --> 00:34:29,929
ARNOTT: And the armed robbery

682
00:34:30,033 --> 00:34:31,690
staged to coincide
with the operation...

683
00:34:32,173 --> 00:34:33,657
You knew about that?

684
00:34:33,761 --> 00:34:37,109
It was a decoy I used
to delay Banks' arrest.

685
00:34:37,213 --> 00:34:38,421
And the mistakes
in surveillance

686
00:34:38,524 --> 00:34:41,458
attributed Detective
Superintendent Buckells.

687
00:34:41,562 --> 00:34:44,703
I manipulated him into those.
It wasn't hard.

688
00:34:44,806 --> 00:34:45,980
And the files
that were planted

689
00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:47,223
in his service vehicle?

690
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:50,881
I planted those.

691
00:34:50,985 --> 00:34:52,159
What about the witness
who came forward

692
00:34:52,262 --> 00:34:53,746
to incriminate Terry Boyle?

693
00:34:53,850 --> 00:34:55,162
Deborah Devereux.

694
00:34:55,265 --> 00:34:56,370
All I know is we found out

695
00:34:56,473 --> 00:34:59,442
she was a former girlfriend
of DSU Buckells.

696
00:34:59,545 --> 00:35:01,892
ARNOTT: And the full statement
from Deborah Devereux,

697
00:35:01,996 --> 00:35:03,515
Buckells set that up?

698
00:35:03,618 --> 00:35:06,725
I don't know if he set that up
himself or someone else did.

699
00:35:06,828 --> 00:35:08,140
Why would he do that?

700
00:35:09,176 --> 00:35:11,557
He was worried the failure
to solve the murder

701
00:35:11,661 --> 00:35:13,318
was making him look bad.

702
00:35:13,421 --> 00:35:15,527
He was desperate for me
to charge someone.

703
00:35:15,630 --> 00:35:17,632
Let's be clear.
You have no evidence

704
00:35:17,736 --> 00:35:18,875
that Buckells was responsible

705
00:35:18,978 --> 00:35:20,704
for Deborah Devereux's
full statement?

706
00:35:21,222 --> 00:35:22,603
Correct, ma'am.

707
00:35:22,706 --> 00:35:24,950
And his desire
to charge Terry Boyle

708
00:35:25,053 --> 00:35:27,090
was born
out of a legitimate fear

709
00:35:27,194 --> 00:35:29,127
for the advancement
of his career?

710
00:35:29,713 --> 00:35:31,957
It appeared so, ma'am.

711
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:33,614
DI Arnott, can you bookmark
the DI's answer as

712
00:35:33,717 --> 00:35:34,891
a significant testimony

713
00:35:34,994 --> 00:35:36,134
in determining
whether the charges

714
00:35:36,237 --> 00:35:37,618
against Detective
Superintendent Buckells

715
00:35:37,721 --> 00:35:38,688
should be discontinued?

716
00:35:43,555 --> 00:35:44,970
Okay, moving on.
What can you tell us

717
00:35:45,073 --> 00:35:47,075
about the evidence
against Terry Boyle?

718
00:35:48,353 --> 00:35:50,941
The images of Gail Vella
found in his flat

719
00:35:51,045 --> 00:35:52,460
would seem
to have been planted.

720
00:35:52,564 --> 00:35:54,635
To the best of your knowledge,
was Terry Boyle involved

721
00:35:54,738 --> 00:35:56,084
in the murder of Gail Vella?

722
00:35:56,637 --> 00:35:58,190
No, he was not.

723
00:35:58,294 --> 00:36:00,710
To the best of your knowledge,
was Carl Banks involved

724
00:36:00,813 --> 00:36:02,436
in the murder of Gail Vella?

725
00:36:06,750 --> 00:36:08,062
No comment.

726
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:10,098
Here we go again.

727
00:36:10,202 --> 00:36:12,066
We know Gail Vella attempted
to make contact

728
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:13,930
with Carl Banks' brother,
Lee Banks,

729
00:36:14,033 --> 00:36:15,552
an inmate
in Blackthorn Prison.

730
00:36:16,553 --> 00:36:18,245
We believe
Lee Banks informed Carl

731
00:36:18,348 --> 00:36:19,901
Gail Vella
was investigating stories

732
00:36:20,005 --> 00:36:22,352
that the OCG
were determined to suppress.

733
00:36:22,456 --> 00:36:24,837
In regards Gail Vella's
investigative journalism,

734
00:36:24,941 --> 00:36:26,356
let's now examine
your movements

735
00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:29,256
prior to your arrest
last night. DI Arnott.

736
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:31,430
On screen, Image 41.

737
00:36:31,534 --> 00:36:33,570
Image 41 is a map
showing telemetry

738
00:36:33,674 --> 00:36:35,331
from a tracking device
attached to vehicle

739
00:36:35,434 --> 00:36:38,265
Victor, Oscar, 6-9,
Golf, Kilo, Yankee

740
00:36:38,368 --> 00:36:41,613
in the early hours
of the 24th of November, 2020.

741
00:36:41,716 --> 00:36:44,202
Victor, Oscar, 6-9,
Golf, Kilo, Yankee

742
00:36:44,305 --> 00:36:45,858
is the vehicle in which
you were a passenger

743
00:36:45,962 --> 00:36:47,688
at the time of your arrest.

744
00:36:47,791 --> 00:36:50,449
Telemetry location two is the
scene of Gail Vella's murder.

745
00:36:50,553 --> 00:36:53,901
Telemetry location three
relates the derelict premises

746
00:36:54,004 --> 00:36:55,730
of the Kingsgate
Printing Services.

747
00:36:55,834 --> 00:36:58,077
Who's directing
the movements of the vehicle?

748
00:36:59,182 --> 00:37:00,459
No comment.

749
00:37:00,563 --> 00:37:02,737
A forensic search
of Kingsgate Printing Services

750
00:37:02,841 --> 00:37:04,601
has been carried out.

751
00:37:05,706 --> 00:37:07,466
Image 45 on screen.

752
00:37:07,570 --> 00:37:09,606
Image 45,
it's a crime scene photograph

753
00:37:09,710 --> 00:37:12,091
captured at
Kingsgate Printing services,

754
00:37:12,195 --> 00:37:14,370
showing the inside
of the abandoned premises.

755
00:37:14,922 --> 00:37:16,717
Image 46.

756
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:18,788
Image 46
is an item of evidence

757
00:37:18,891 --> 00:37:20,238
detected by the search team.

758
00:37:20,341 --> 00:37:21,998
Item reference TG-8.

759
00:37:22,101 --> 00:37:24,138
TG-8 is a metal strongbox.

760
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:27,106
Contents of TG-8
shown in Image 47.

761
00:37:28,315 --> 00:37:30,351
What is shown in Image 47?

762
00:37:30,834 --> 00:37:32,319
No comment.

763
00:37:32,422 --> 00:37:36,633
Image 47 shows item references
TG-11 and TG-12.

764
00:37:36,737 --> 00:37:37,565
A laptop computer

765
00:37:37,669 --> 00:37:39,809
and desktop computer,
respectively.

766
00:37:39,912 --> 00:37:42,018
Forensic examination
of these devices

767
00:37:42,121 --> 00:37:44,434
detected fingerprints
matching Gail Vella.

768
00:37:44,538 --> 00:37:46,091
HASTINGS: We believe
these devices were stolen

769
00:37:46,194 --> 00:37:48,300
from Gail Vella's home
around the time of her murder.

770
00:37:48,404 --> 00:37:51,441
Now the Operation Lighthouse
files that you withheld

771
00:37:51,545 --> 00:37:56,239
relate in part to evidence
of the theft of these devices.

772
00:37:56,343 --> 00:37:59,277
This is crucial evidence
you hid.

773
00:38:00,381 --> 00:38:02,418
I was leading
Kate Fleming there

774
00:38:02,521 --> 00:38:04,592
to uncover
the evidence to prove...

775
00:38:07,526 --> 00:38:08,700
Prove what?

776
00:38:10,874 --> 00:38:12,566
That I'm not bent.

777
00:38:13,739 --> 00:38:16,949
Yes, but you hid this evidence
for months.

778
00:38:17,053 --> 00:38:19,020
Not months. No.

779
00:38:19,918 --> 00:38:21,437
That's not what happened.

780
00:38:22,576 --> 00:38:25,130
I only began to suspect
the evidence might be there

781
00:38:25,233 --> 00:38:27,097
after Terry Boyle's arrest.

782
00:38:28,513 --> 00:38:32,310
The print shop had been
long abandoned by the OCG.

783
00:38:32,413 --> 00:38:34,967
Police searches
concluded there 18 months ago,

784
00:38:35,071 --> 00:38:37,591
and it was
right across the street.

785
00:38:37,694 --> 00:38:39,800
But you never ordered
a search of the print shop.

786
00:38:43,493 --> 00:38:44,736
ARNOTT:
Cyber Crime examined

787
00:38:44,839 --> 00:38:46,738
the hard drives
of both devices.

788
00:38:46,841 --> 00:38:50,017
Passwords were input
to access the stored files.

789
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,536
How were these passwords
being obtained?

790
00:38:53,123 --> 00:38:54,193
No comment.

791
00:38:54,297 --> 00:38:55,298
Well, taking for granted

792
00:38:55,402 --> 00:38:57,127
the involvement
of organised crime,

793
00:38:57,231 --> 00:38:59,198
I'd suggest an employee
in the IT Department

794
00:38:59,302 --> 00:39:01,269
of Gail Vella's news service
was exploited

795
00:39:01,373 --> 00:39:04,031
using bribery, blackmail
or intimidation.

796
00:39:05,032 --> 00:39:06,102
No comment.

797
00:39:06,205 --> 00:39:07,414
Numerous files were detected

798
00:39:07,517 --> 00:39:09,139
relating to Gail Vella's
investigations

799
00:39:09,243 --> 00:39:10,934
into the links
between organised crime

800
00:39:11,038 --> 00:39:12,246
and corrupt police officers.

801
00:39:12,902 --> 00:39:14,282
We have found audio files

802
00:39:14,386 --> 00:39:16,319
of interviews
of Jimmy Lakewell.

803
00:39:16,423 --> 00:39:18,079
We have found research files

804
00:39:18,183 --> 00:39:20,219
confirming that Gail Vella
was investigating

805
00:39:20,323 --> 00:39:22,152
the suppression
of police inquiries

806
00:39:22,256 --> 00:39:25,708
into historic
child sexual exploitation.

807
00:39:25,811 --> 00:39:26,950
And we have found research

808
00:39:27,054 --> 00:39:29,988
confirming that Gail Vella
was digging deep

809
00:39:30,091 --> 00:39:31,886
into police failure

810
00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:34,233
in the murder
of Lawrence Christopher.

811
00:39:36,028 --> 00:39:37,444
Did you know
Gail Vella was looking

812
00:39:37,547 --> 00:39:39,377
into the Lawrence Christopher
murder?

813
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,550
No.

814
00:39:41,793 --> 00:39:43,104
ARNOTT: According to notes
found on Gail Vella's devices,

815
00:39:43,208 --> 00:39:45,935
she visited Lee Banks
on 26th of August, 2019,

816
00:39:46,038 --> 00:39:47,212
in Blackthorn Prison.

817
00:39:47,315 --> 00:39:50,802
Now as you know, Lee Banks
is Carl Banks' brother.

818
00:39:50,905 --> 00:39:52,182
It appears
from Gail Vella's notes

819
00:39:52,286 --> 00:39:54,184
that Lee Banks declined
to furnish any information

820
00:39:54,288 --> 00:39:56,463
regarding the murder
of Lawrence Christopher.

821
00:39:56,566 --> 00:39:58,465
We believe
Lee informed Carl Banks

822
00:39:58,568 --> 00:40:01,916
and this was in large part
the motivation for her murder.

823
00:40:02,020 --> 00:40:03,539
HASTINGS: Do you really
expect us to believe

824
00:40:03,642 --> 00:40:04,747
that you didn't know this?

825
00:40:06,473 --> 00:40:07,853
I didn't.

826
00:40:07,957 --> 00:40:09,890
[chuckles]
I'll give you "I didn't".

827
00:40:09,993 --> 00:40:11,167
One of the suspects

828
00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:12,651
in the Lawrence Christopher
murder is your cousin,

829
00:40:12,755 --> 00:40:14,239
Darren Hunter.

830
00:40:15,827 --> 00:40:17,380
I, erm...

831
00:40:17,484 --> 00:40:19,347
HASTINGS: I mean, maybe if
Darren had been arrested,

832
00:40:19,451 --> 00:40:20,418
he would have squealed.

833
00:40:20,521 --> 00:40:21,902
He would have given up
Tommy Hunter.

834
00:40:22,005 --> 00:40:23,559
He would have given up you.

835
00:40:23,662 --> 00:40:25,630
I... I didn't know.

836
00:40:25,733 --> 00:40:28,426
The initial inquiry into
Lawrence Christopher's murder

837
00:40:28,529 --> 00:40:30,911
was led by
DCI Marcus Thurwell.

838
00:40:31,014 --> 00:40:32,222
Do you know that name?

839
00:40:34,052 --> 00:40:35,122

ARNOTT:

841
00:40:42,025 --> 00:40:44,131
Who is shown an image 75?

842
00:40:45,063 --> 00:40:46,409

On screen, image 77.

The last known image
of the same individual.

845
00:40:53,140 --> 00:40:54,348
Who is that?

846
00:40:55,107 --> 00:40:56,902
No comment.

847
00:40:57,006 --> 00:40:59,111
Image 77
shows Marcus Thurwell.

848
00:41:00,250 --> 00:41:03,115
What's your relationship
to Marcus Thurwell?

849
00:41:05,428 --> 00:41:06,325
No comment.

850
00:41:06,429 --> 00:41:08,535
Files detected
on Gail Vella's computer

851
00:41:08,638 --> 00:41:10,019
proved that
she was investigating,

852
00:41:10,122 --> 00:41:11,227
not just Thurwell's role,

853
00:41:11,330 --> 00:41:14,126
but the role of other officers
in the inquiry.

854
00:41:15,507 --> 00:41:18,855
Notably Detective Constable
Ian Buckells,

855
00:41:18,959 --> 00:41:21,340
and Inspector Philip Osborne.

856
00:41:23,411 --> 00:41:25,137
The interviewee
has repeatedly claimed

857
00:41:25,241 --> 00:41:27,415
she doesn't know
about any of this.

858
00:41:27,519 --> 00:41:28,693
It's a dead end.

859
00:41:32,075 --> 00:41:33,491
So let's focus on events

860
00:41:33,594 --> 00:41:36,286
surrounding the killing
of PC Ryan Pilkington.

861
00:41:36,390 --> 00:41:39,255
Ma'am,
this is significant evidence

862
00:41:39,358 --> 00:41:41,326
crucial to the wider inquiry

863
00:41:41,429 --> 00:41:43,949
into institutionalised
corruption.

864
00:41:44,053 --> 00:41:46,849
Yes, and I would prefer
to confine ourselves

865
00:41:46,952 --> 00:41:48,091
to the set parameters

866
00:41:48,195 --> 00:41:50,646
of the anti-corruption inquiry
in front of us.

867
00:41:51,647 --> 00:41:52,924
DI Arnott,

868
00:41:53,027 --> 00:41:54,235
if you wouldn't mind,

869
00:41:54,339 --> 00:41:56,168
let's jiffy things along,
shall we?

870
00:41:56,893 --> 00:41:58,101
Ma'am.

871
00:41:58,792 --> 00:42:00,103
On screen,

872
00:42:00,207 --> 00:42:02,692
images 62 to 65, inclusive.

873
00:42:02,796 --> 00:42:07,007
Crime scene photographs
of PC Ryan Pilkington's body.

874
00:42:07,110 --> 00:42:09,250
How did Ryan Pilkington
meet his death?

875
00:42:09,803 --> 00:42:11,011
No comment.

Document 60 in your folders.

877
00:42:14,670 --> 00:42:16,810
Document 60
is the forensic pathologist's

878
00:42:16,913 --> 00:42:19,571
post-mortem report
on Ryan Pilkington.

879
00:42:19,675 --> 00:42:22,712
Cause of death was two
gunshot wounds to the chest.

880
00:42:22,816 --> 00:42:26,336
At post-mortem, two Parabellum
9/19mm rounds

881
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,442
were recovered
from the thoracic cavity.

882
00:42:28,546 --> 00:42:32,135
Ryan Pilkington was fatally
wounded by a firearm.

883
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,792
Describe what happened.

884

DI Arnott.

886
00:42:46,943 --> 00:42:48,462
DI Arnott.

887
00:42:52,397 --> 00:42:55,020
Document 78 in your folders.

888
00:42:55,124 --> 00:42:57,920
Document 78 is a report
issued by neighbours

889
00:42:58,023 --> 00:43:00,336
on the 24th of November, 2020.

890
00:43:00,439 --> 00:43:02,683
Please refer to page two,
paragraph six.

891
00:43:03,650 --> 00:43:04,927
Both Parabellum rounds

892
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:06,549
recovered from the deceased
show markings

893
00:43:06,653 --> 00:43:09,345
consistent with being fired
from a Glock 17 pistol,

894
00:43:09,448 --> 00:43:12,900
serial number 2-7-7-5-3-1.

895
00:43:13,004 --> 00:43:16,283
2-7-7-5-3-1 is the firearm
lawfully issued

896
00:43:16,386 --> 00:43:18,457
on the 20th of November, 2020

897
00:43:18,561 --> 00:43:20,598
to Detective Inspector
Kate Fleming.

898
00:43:22,461 --> 00:43:24,187
Fingerprints matching
DI Fleming

899
00:43:24,291 --> 00:43:27,605
were also detected
on 2-7-7-5-3-1.

900
00:43:28,847 --> 00:43:31,574
Did DI Fleming shoot dead
Ryan Pilkington?

901
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:38,823
No.

902
00:43:40,790 --> 00:43:41,826
No?

903
00:43:43,897 --> 00:43:45,312
Who, then?

904
00:43:47,694 --> 00:43:48,729
I did.

905
00:43:51,836 --> 00:43:53,182
Hmm.

906
00:43:54,528 --> 00:43:56,357
That doesn't square
with the forensic evidence,

907
00:43:56,461 --> 00:43:57,427
I'm afraid.

908
00:43:58,497 --> 00:44:01,121
Naturally, Kate's prints
were on the firearm.

909
00:44:01,224 --> 00:44:02,640
She'd handled it repeatedly.

910
00:44:02,743 --> 00:44:05,125
But you'll also have found
my prints on the firearm.

911
00:44:05,781 --> 00:44:07,196
That's correct. We did.

912
00:44:07,299 --> 00:44:09,474
Because she was forced
to hand it over to me.

913
00:44:10,717 --> 00:44:13,064
Ryan had her at gunpoint.

914
00:44:13,167 --> 00:44:15,514
I turned Kate's firearm
on Ryan.

915
00:44:18,552 --> 00:44:21,037
At the time of your arrest,
Fleming had her firearm.

916
00:44:21,141 --> 00:44:22,487
You had Pilkington's.

917
00:44:23,108 --> 00:44:25,214
I returned Kate's firearm.

918
00:44:25,317 --> 00:44:26,629
I picked up Ryan's.

919
00:44:27,768 --> 00:44:30,322
Forensic analysis of clothing
worn by DI Fleming

920
00:44:30,426 --> 00:44:32,946
detected a dense distribution
of gunshot residue

921
00:44:33,049 --> 00:44:34,326
on the right-hand sleeve,

922
00:44:34,430 --> 00:44:36,259
a finding commonly associated

923
00:44:36,363 --> 00:44:39,090
with the discharging
of a firearm.

924
00:44:40,712 --> 00:44:43,750
Kate was in the process
of handing me the firearm.

925
00:44:43,853 --> 00:44:45,855
when I turned the firearm
on Ryan

926
00:44:45,959 --> 00:44:48,271
and discharged
the fatal shots.

927
00:44:48,375 --> 00:44:51,033
Kate's sleeve absorbed
the gunshot powder.

928
00:44:51,654 --> 00:44:53,242
Joanne Davidson.

929
00:44:53,967 --> 00:44:55,347
To be clear,

930
00:44:55,865 --> 00:44:56,970
you are confessing

931
00:44:57,073 --> 00:44:59,282
to the murder
of Ryan Pilkington,

932
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:02,147
No, ma'am.

933
00:45:03,183 --> 00:45:06,082
Pilkington was about to fire
on DI Fleming.

934
00:45:06,186 --> 00:45:07,221
At the time of the incident,

935
00:45:07,325 --> 00:45:09,499
I was a serving
police officer.

936
00:45:09,603 --> 00:45:14,125
Under common law section three
of the Criminal Law Act 1967,

937
00:45:14,228 --> 00:45:15,367
and Section 117

938
00:45:15,471 --> 00:45:18,301
of the Police and Criminal
Evidence Act 1984,

939
00:45:18,405 --> 00:45:20,510
I am permitted
to employ lethal force

940
00:45:20,614 --> 00:45:23,272
to prevent
an imminent threat to life.

941
00:45:23,375 --> 00:45:25,136
My colleague
was acting lawfully.

942
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,621
I think you'll find
that's for a court to decide.

943
00:45:31,867 --> 00:45:34,352
You weren't in league
with Pilkington?

944
00:45:34,455 --> 00:45:38,425
Ryan Pilkington was imposed
on MIT against my will.

945
00:45:38,528 --> 00:45:41,290
I was fully aware
of his OCG connections.

946
00:45:42,187 --> 00:45:43,879
He was there to intimidate me

947
00:45:43,982 --> 00:45:46,260
into misleading
Operation Lighthouse.

948
00:45:49,539 --> 00:45:51,818
So, who was giving
Pilkington his orders?

949
00:45:51,921 --> 00:45:53,164
Was it Marcus Thurwell?

950
00:45:54,924 --> 00:45:56,167
No comment.

951
00:45:56,270 --> 00:45:58,307
We have presented
clear evidence

952
00:45:58,410 --> 00:46:01,034
that you were getting
your instructions from Spain.

953
00:46:01,137 --> 00:46:02,207
We also know
from our inquiries

954
00:46:02,311 --> 00:46:03,761
that Thurwell was in Spain.

955
00:46:05,038 --> 00:46:07,626
Is this the person
running the show? Yes?

956
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,836
No comment.

957
00:46:09,939 --> 00:46:12,562
Marcus Thurwell was SIO

958
00:46:12,666 --> 00:46:14,772
in the Lawrence Christopher
murder inquiry.

959
00:46:14,875 --> 00:46:15,911
Now, we believe

960
00:46:16,014 --> 00:46:19,121
that he deliberately
misled that inquiry

961
00:46:19,224 --> 00:46:21,951
to protect Darren Hunter,
Tommy Hunter's son,

962
00:46:22,055 --> 00:46:25,023
on the expressed orders
of Tommy Hunter.

963
00:46:26,438 --> 00:46:27,785
No comment.

964
00:46:27,888 --> 00:46:29,062
Lawrence Christopher,

965
00:46:29,165 --> 00:46:31,305
he was an architect.
he was a model citizen,

966
00:46:31,409 --> 00:46:34,343
he had his head smashed in
with a piece of lead piping

967
00:46:34,446 --> 00:46:36,379
by a bunch of racist thugs,

968
00:46:36,483 --> 00:46:38,347
one of whom was your cousin.

969
00:46:38,450 --> 00:46:40,556
Superintendent, your
questioning is oppressive.

970
00:46:40,659 --> 00:46:41,591
I'll give you oppressive.

971
00:46:42,661 --> 00:46:43,628
Look, that lad had
his whole life ahead of him,

972
00:46:43,731 --> 00:46:45,009
just like Gail Vella.

973
00:46:47,839 --> 00:46:50,014
They both died
horrible deaths.

974
00:46:50,117 --> 00:46:52,257
I dread to imagine
what they suffered.

975
00:46:52,361 --> 00:46:54,846
Yes. Well, then
give them justice.

976
00:46:54,950 --> 00:46:56,779
Tell us
who's giving the orders.

977
00:46:57,953 --> 00:46:59,161
I can't.

978
00:46:59,609 --> 00:47:00,507
I'm sorry.

979
00:47:00,610 --> 00:47:02,060
Is it Thurwell?
Is it someone else?

980
00:47:02,164 --> 00:47:04,166
-It is Osborne?
-I think we'll leave it there.

981
00:47:04,269 --> 00:47:06,513
Is it the Chief Constable?

982
00:47:06,616 --> 00:47:10,103
Thank you,
Superintendent Hastings.

983
00:47:10,206 --> 00:47:12,484
Joanne Davidson, do you have
anything further to say?

984
00:47:13,658 --> 00:47:15,487
[sniffles] No.

985
00:47:15,591 --> 00:47:17,110
Joanne Davidson,
I've been in consultation

986
00:47:17,213 --> 00:47:19,250
with the senior prosecutor
at the Complex Case Unit.

987
00:47:19,353 --> 00:47:21,079
Nothing you have disclosed
during this interview

988
00:47:21,183 --> 00:47:22,494
has impacted
on those discussions,

989
00:47:22,598 --> 00:47:25,014
and, therefore,
I am authorised to charge you

990
00:47:25,118 --> 00:47:26,464
with the following offences.

991
00:47:26,567 --> 00:47:27,879
Perverting the course
of justice

992
00:47:27,983 --> 00:47:29,570
and malfeasance
in a public office.

993
00:47:29,674 --> 00:47:32,297
I will consult further
regarding conspiracy

994
00:47:32,401 --> 00:47:34,955
to murder DI Kate Fleming

995
00:47:35,059 --> 00:47:37,647
and any charges
relating to the death

996
00:47:37,751 --> 00:47:39,132
of PC Ryan Pilkington.

997
00:47:39,235 --> 00:47:41,203
You will be remanded
in custody.

998
00:47:42,135 --> 00:47:46,242
Interview terminated at 11:43.

999
00:47:50,384 --> 00:47:51,938
You take care
of the custody, son,

1000
00:47:52,041 --> 00:47:53,456
just leave this one to me.

1001
00:48:03,087 --> 00:48:04,364
I'm sorry.

1002
00:48:05,020 --> 00:48:07,746
Yeah. Me too.

1003
00:48:14,961 --> 00:48:16,445
You and I both know
that Jo Davidson's

1004
00:48:16,548 --> 00:48:19,379
the best chance we ever had
of blowing wide open

1005
00:48:19,482 --> 00:48:21,174
the network
of corrupt police officers

1006
00:48:21,277 --> 00:48:23,831
in league
with organised crime.

1007
00:48:23,935 --> 00:48:25,557
I must have been in
another interview,

1008
00:48:25,661 --> 00:48:27,456
because every other answer
I heard was, "No comment."

1009
00:48:27,559 --> 00:48:29,492
You let her
off the hook, ma'am.

1010
00:48:29,596 --> 00:48:31,287
And as for shutting down
all my questions

1011
00:48:31,391 --> 00:48:33,600
-about the fourth man...
-Superintendent.

1012
00:48:33,703 --> 00:48:36,430
You are bitter about AC-12
being merged. Who wouldn't be?

1013
00:48:36,534 --> 00:48:38,087
It's got nothing
to do with that.

1014
00:48:38,191 --> 00:48:40,124
Inquiries into Jo Davidson
will continue.

1015
00:48:40,227 --> 00:48:43,127
She has more to reveal.
We will get there in time.

1016
00:48:45,060 --> 00:48:46,440
I don't have time.

1017
00:48:47,821 --> 00:48:48,891
[sighs]

1018
00:48:48,995 --> 00:48:50,513
[indistinct chatter]

1019
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:00,351
[notification beeps]

1020
00:49:24,754 --> 00:49:26,066
Sir?

1021
00:49:27,723 --> 00:49:31,589
Sometimes you
don't lose, son,

1022
00:49:33,315 --> 00:49:35,282
you just run out of time.

1023
00:49:37,319 --> 00:49:39,252
[slow instrumental
music playing]

1024
00:49:46,466 --> 00:49:47,501
As you were.

1025
00:49:53,645 --> 00:49:55,130
The Crown Prosecutor
is gullible enough

1026
00:49:55,233 --> 00:49:57,787
to consider proceedings
against Jo Davidson alone

1027
00:49:57,891 --> 00:49:59,651
in the death
of Ryan Pilkington.

1028
00:50:00,687 --> 00:50:02,275
Thank you very much, ma'am.

1029
00:50:07,590 --> 00:50:09,385
Two shots to the chest,

1030
00:50:10,041 --> 00:50:12,216
double tap. Mm.

1031
00:50:12,319 --> 00:50:14,356
Like a firearms-
trained officer.

1032
00:50:17,152 --> 00:50:20,086
Davidson's not
firearms trained, is she?

1033
00:50:22,088 --> 00:50:23,813
You are, though,
aren't you, Kate?

1034
00:50:25,091 --> 00:50:26,471
That's correct, ma'am.

1035
00:50:30,268 --> 00:50:33,064
So you'll provide a first
account for my, er, team

1036
00:50:33,168 --> 00:50:34,583
and then you're free to go.

1037
00:50:37,896 --> 00:50:39,553
I'm not gullible, Kate.

1038
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:43,454
But I am pragmatic.

1039
00:50:47,975 --> 00:50:49,184
[door opens]

1040
00:51:09,031 --> 00:51:10,205
All right?

1041
00:51:11,689 --> 00:51:12,828
All right.

1042
00:51:12,931 --> 00:51:14,381
Thought we'd got rid of you.

1043
00:51:14,485 --> 00:51:16,176
[chuckles softly]
No such luck.

1044
00:51:17,557 --> 00:51:19,041
You sure you're OK?

1045
00:51:19,145 --> 00:51:20,215
I know
nobody's coming after you

1046
00:51:20,318 --> 00:51:21,492
over Ryan Pilkington's
shooting.

1047
00:51:21,595 --> 00:51:23,390
If you ever need
to talk about it...

1048
00:51:24,702 --> 00:51:27,567
Thanks, mate.
I appreciate it, but I'm fine.

1049
00:51:28,533 --> 00:51:30,604
So what did you
get out of Jo?

1050
00:51:30,708 --> 00:51:32,227
A lot less than we needed.

1051
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,920
Did she say anything
about her family history?

1052
00:51:36,023 --> 00:51:37,473
She told me
her dad was a police officer.

1053
00:51:37,577 --> 00:51:39,441
No. Never even gave us
that much.

1054
00:51:40,166 --> 00:51:41,443
She's scared, Steve.

1055
00:51:41,546 --> 00:51:44,273
After what happened
to Tommy, Lakewell,

1056
00:51:44,377 --> 00:51:46,379
never mind John Corbett.

1057
00:51:46,482 --> 00:51:48,450
That's why we've got her
on the VPU apprentice,

1058
00:51:48,553 --> 00:51:51,073
security cameras
monitoring access to her cell.

1059
00:51:52,626 --> 00:51:53,696
So, what now?

1060
00:51:55,146 --> 00:51:58,839
Well, we're into the forensics
at the OCG workshop.

1061
00:51:58,943 --> 00:52:00,220
And as I'm
the senior detective

1062
00:52:00,324 --> 00:52:02,015
left on Operation Lighthouse,

1063
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:03,189
I could be
the point of contact

1064
00:52:03,292 --> 00:52:05,260
between MIT and AC-12.

1065
00:52:06,192 --> 00:52:07,779
Works for me, mate.

1066
00:52:07,883 --> 00:52:09,195
Let's get this job done.

1067
00:52:09,298 --> 00:52:10,403
-I'll drive.
-I'll drive.

1068
00:52:11,542 --> 00:52:12,612
[scoffs]

1069
00:52:14,303 --> 00:52:16,857
It'll be in the Red Lion
by 8:00. Nice work.

1070
00:52:16,961 --> 00:52:18,135
FLEMING: All right, Chris.

1071
00:52:18,238 --> 00:52:20,206
-Ma'am.
-You remember DI Arnott.

1072
00:52:20,654 --> 00:52:22,518
Sir.

1073
00:52:22,622 --> 00:52:25,245
Don't act like a tit, sarge.
We're all in it together.

1074
00:52:26,936 --> 00:52:28,145
What have you found?

1075
00:52:29,905 --> 00:52:33,046
There's strong evidence
of workshop in the firearms.

1076
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:34,910
Neighbours have given
a preliminary report

1077
00:52:35,013 --> 00:52:37,119
of matches between
the machinery here

1078
00:52:37,223 --> 00:52:38,362
and the markings
on the firearms

1079
00:52:38,465 --> 00:52:40,640
used in the Jimmy Lakewell
ambush.

1080
00:52:40,743 --> 00:52:43,367
Forensics have harvested
prints and DNA,

1081
00:52:43,470 --> 00:52:45,783
just waiting on the lab
for any matches.

1082
00:52:45,886 --> 00:52:47,716
FC thinks
they've covered the ground.

1083
00:52:47,819 --> 00:52:48,820
I'm gonna call off

1084
00:52:48,924 --> 00:52:50,512
the forensic deployment
tonight.

1085
00:52:50,615 --> 00:52:52,307
Now, you look
at the weight of those.

1086
00:52:52,962 --> 00:52:54,240
No way were two OCG men

1087
00:52:54,343 --> 00:52:55,689
on their own
gonna move 'em.

1088
00:52:56,276 --> 00:52:58,209
What was in their van?

1089
00:52:58,313 --> 00:53:00,556
Tarpaulins and rope.

1090
00:53:02,282 --> 00:53:04,284
Couple of pickaxes,
bolt cutters,

1091
00:53:04,388 --> 00:53:05,906
a couple of wrenches,

1092
00:53:06,010 --> 00:53:08,185
socket set, Stanley knives.

1093
00:53:08,288 --> 00:53:12,327
Power tools, including
power saws and power drills.

1094
00:53:13,155 --> 00:53:14,674
Right.
Let's call out the GPR.

1095
00:53:14,777 --> 00:53:15,778
Find out
what's under that floor.

1096
00:53:16,641 --> 00:53:18,264
-Really?
-Yeah, really,

1097
00:53:23,614 --> 00:53:27,031

requested GPR for wirework.

Sir, we think
we've found Thurwell.

1104
00:53:43,081 --> 00:53:44,842
We'll be right there.

1105
00:53:44,945 --> 00:53:46,568
They've located
Marcus Thurwell.

Spanish authorities
are helping us

in our efforts
to apprehend Thurwell.

1114
