Hannah? It's me. Call me.

Our golden boy's in trouble again.

RACHEL: Assault, kidnapping, resisting arrest,

assaulting a police officer.

[sighs] Drop the last two right off the bat,

and we'll think about not suing you.

-For? -For the trauma

your tactical officers inflicted on Emery Sr.

You're new to Homicide, aren't you?

I've been in SO15 for the last four years.

Yeah, that explains the heavy-handedness.

Excuse me?

My client has been let down by just about everybody,

from his ex-girlfriend to his Army lawyers.

And two tours in Afghanistan, one in Iraq,

and how do we repay his service?

Six months for a crime he should never have been convicted for.

And now this?

So, unless you've got Shaun's blood-soaked fingerprints on a smoking gun,

I suggest you go easy on the boy.

CHARLIE: Now, we don't know if they've got a scrap of evidence,

or if this is just some bullshit fishing trip.

So you have every reason to keep schtum.

SHAUN: No comment?

I didn't do nothing, Charlie. I've got nothing to hide.

[sighs] Well, do yourself a favour.

Whatever happens, try not to punch anyone.

MAN: Right.

RACHEL: Mr. Hall.

[door closes]

[recorder beeps]

Did you piss yourself when they tasered you?

[scoffs] Happens.

This interview is being recorded and may be given as evidence

if this case goes to trial.

I'm DI Rachel Carey, Homicide and Serious Crime Command.

-The other officer present is... -DS Patrick Flynn.

How'd you like us to refer to you--

Shaun or Mr. Emery?

Let's go with Mr. Emery.

-[sniffs] -RACHEL: Do you understand why you're here, Mr. Emery?

No.

But you know you're under suspicion for assault and kidnapping?

[inhales, exhales]

Where's Hannah Roberts?

I don't know. Home?

If you're alleging Hannah Roberts is involved in my client's case,

I'm afraid we have to suspend this.

-Why are you asking about her? -PATRICK: Is she still alive?

'Course she's alive.

If you help us find her, this will be much easier for you.

I don't know where she is, and I don't know what you two are talking about.

PATRICK: When did you last see her?

SHAUN: Uh... last night.

Uh, Charlie, me, and Hannah, we were in the pub, um...

-PATRICK: So you'd been drinking? -SHAUN: I don't drink.

And then, after...

[chuckles] I offered Hannah a lift home.

-She said no. That was that. -PATRICK: What was what?

She went home.

[scoffs]

RACHEL: For the benefit of the recording,

DS Flynn is now playing a video monitored live

on Sutton Council CCTV at 11:35 PM.

Yeah, that's her. That's Hannah.

For the benefit of the recording,

the suspect has identified the female figure in the video

as Hannah Roberts.

[sighs]

[Shaun drumming on table]

That's me!

RACHEL: For the benefit of the recording,

Mr. Emery has identified the male figure in the video as himself.

Is anyone gonna tell me what the problem is?

[chuckles]

SHUAN: So what? Come on. Tell me what the problem is.

What's the problem with this?

Hmm?

[sighs]

She got on that bus.

That ain't right, she got on that bus.

Wait, this ain't what happened. She got on that bus.

SHAUN: This ain't what happened.

This ain't happened! None of this happened!

The fuck is this?!

That didn't fucking happen! This ain't fucking real!

The fuck have you done?

This didn't fucking happen! This ain't fucking real!

-PATRICK: Sit. -None of this is fucking-- What the fuck have you done?!

-PATRICK: Sit. -What have you fucking done?

-PATRICK: Sit the fuck down! -I didn't fucking do that!

I swear to fucking God, it didn't happen!

-Sit down! -SHAUN: I didn't do anything!

[men grunting]

-PATRICK: Get a hold of him, will ya? -[officers grunting]

SHAUN: I didn't do that! I didn't fucking do that!

-Um... -[grunting] Get off of me!

[grunting]

[alarm blaring]

Fuck's sake. Get out!

[Shaun yelling, grunting]

That's a fucking lie!

I didn't do anything!

[Shaun yells] It's a lie!

PATRICK: Alright, now come on, boys. Out.

[Shaun panting]

SHAUN: It's not real. It's not real.

It's not real. It's not real.

It's not real.

It's not real. It's not real.

It's not real. It's not real.

-[cell phone buzzing] -SHAUN: It's not real. It's not real.

It's not real. It's not real.

-It's not real. It's not real. -[door opens]

Where is she?

[inhales, exhales] We'll find her.

-Nadia. -NADIA: We've got Emery's journey.

- Go on. NADIA: Well, he heads west for two miles,

then we lose him to a blind spot.

Eighteen minutes later, he reappears, heads home.

No sign of the victim?

The blind spot borders the river, ma'am.

Good work. Send me the coordinates.

Meet me there.

-Are we charging him or what? -Not yet.

Call a search team, divers. We might have a body.

[school bell ringing]

[voices overlapping]

[keys jingling]

[gate closes]

[door echoes]

PATRICK: Two tours in Afghanistan, one in Iraq.

Awarded a mention in dispatches

for gallantry in action.

Medical notes only state injuries he suffered in Hellman, so no PTSD.

Not diagnosed.

-You saw his reaction. -And the BAFTA goes to...

-I don't think so. -What, then?

Maybe...

he doesn't know he did it.

[siren blaring]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Hannah.

Look, I know you're different to me.

No, really, I ain't like that, either.

[chuckles] I'll call you.

I'll call you.

[silent]

[theme music playing]

[siren wailing]

[engine stops]

[banging]

-DETECTIVE: Someone here to see you, guv. -Peasant!

-WOMAN: Alec Boyd? -Speaking.

I mean, yes, th-- that's me.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

[cell phone buzzing]

-Carey. -ALEC: Rachel, bad news, I'm afraid.

The CCTV footage in the Emery case...

there's a problem with it.

[police siren wailing]

Park it for me, please.

Redacted?

-DI Carey. -Sir.

The footage?

Yes, the Shaun Emery footage has been redacted.

Withdrawn. Afraid so.

Because...?

Because the gods have spoken and that is what they have decreed.

"The gods"?

You're from SO15, aren't you? Sure you can work it out.

The Security Service?

They came here?

Turns out, Sutton is on the map.

They do grace us with their presence occasionally, you know.

RACHEL: Well, did they give a reason?

"Security", fittingly.

-Just that? -Yep.

Now what am I supposed to do?

Well now, you'll have to proceed without the redacted video footage.

Didn't they teach you anything at fast-track school?

Sir, the only thing that puts him at the scene is that CCTV.

He didn't even have a phone on him,

there were no other cameras in range.

There were no eyewitnesses.

And now what? I'm--

I'm supposed to find enough evidence to charge the suspect

when we've already had him in custody for what?

Nineteen hours.

Nineteen. Twenty.

Better get a move on.

[Rachel sighs]

[indistinct chattering]

-PATRICK: Nads? -You need to find the body.

PATRICK: Yeah, I wondered what I was doing down the river in the middle of the night,

freezing my bollocks off.

What do you think I'm looking for, the Kraken?

NADIA: I mean, in the next four hours.

You need to find the body.

NICK: Nothing juicy on the eyeball sweep.

No obvious blood samples from the boot or the interior of the car.

DNA?

NICK: Blood samples went off to the lab this afternoon.

Well, I need this marked as priority. Threat to life.

You're looking at two to three days.

Did you just hear me say "threat to life"?

I need it in the next...

-four hours. -Best will in the world,

you're not gonna get it within the next 24 hours.

Oh, fuck.

[sighs]

I mean, how can they ban us from using it?

Easily. All they have to say is "threat to national security".

[scoffs] I mean, what's so national security about that video?

I don't know.

RACHEL: But without this or the DNA from the car,

we'll be forced to release him.

Isn't there anything your friends from Counter-Terror can do for us?

They always manage

to hold suspects a lot longer.

Terror suspects.

Whatever they do in CT, it's always by the book.

Well, we've got four hours

to get a confession out of Emery or find more evidence.

[sighs] There's by-the-book, or there's getting the job done.

[gate opens]

[door closes]

There's been a development I'd like to make you aware of.

We found samples of Hannah's DNA

in the boot of your grandfather's car.

Divers are currently searching the river for her body.

But on the weight of the evidence we already have,

this has now become a murder investigation.

Is there anything you'd like to tell me at this stage, Shaun?

They said I wasn't allowed a phone call.

Do you understand what I've just told you, Shaun?

I was supposed to pick up my daughter from school.

I understand it can be difficult--

adjusting to civvy life.

[sighs]

We expect a lot from our forces, don't we?

And then prison.

Expecting you to come out and adjust all over again.

Perhaps it's not so surprising

that the first thing you do on your release

puts you straight back in custody.

What do you remember, Shaun?

Did you lose control?

I ain't speaking without my solicitor.

Mr. Hall has gone home.

I thought I had the right to a phone call.

Phone calls are at my discretion.

So, why don't we sit down together,

and try and figure out

what happened between you and Hannah Roberts?

Get me a phone call.

NADIA: I need to find the driver of this bus.

The reg isn't clear, but from the date and time

I was hoping you could help me find him.

PATRICK: Ma'am?

Divers have covered a quarter-mile radius without a result.

They reckon there's a chance she was dragged

further downstream, but it's unlikely.

We can expand the search area, but in the time we've got left,

I don't know.

[line beeps]

-Nadia? -So, how did you get on with the suspect?

I'm only asking because the bus driver's given us absolutely nothing.

He doesn't recall passing Emery and Roberts,

let alone seeing the assault.

I've pulled the CCTV from the vehicle itself.

RACHEL: And?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It doesn't give us a view of the assault.

I'll save the file so you can take a look yourself,

but short of finding the body,

I think we've run out of ideas.

Right.

[cell phone buzzing]

-[woman grunts] -[man groans]

[buzzing continues]

[line beeps]

[sighs]

[door opens]

[exhales]

Mr. Emery, I am releasing you on pre-charge bail

while we continue our enquiries.

-You will remain on bail for 28 days. -Where's Hannah?

When the answer comes to you,

be sure to let me know.

[door opens, closes]

[car remote chirps]

[microwave beeping]

FEMALE REPORTER: A battlefield murder in Helmand province

captured by video evidence

now thought to be technically flawed.

Appeal judges unanimously rejected the evidence

from 2014

that convicted Lance Corporal Emery

as legally unsound.

Karen, is she okay?

-Is she okay? -The first inch I give you--

-I-- -Keep your voice down.

They don't just throw them out onto the streets when they're six.

-JAYCEE: Is that my daddy? -Hey, baby.

-Francis. -SHAUN: Hello.

-Hello. -Francis?

-You alright? -Fine.

Could you take Jaycee upstairs, please?

She's just saying hello.

My first day off in months, and I get called by the teachers

and have to sprint to the school to find Jay's crying her eyes out.

Francis, can you please take Jaycee upstairs, please?

SHAUN: I would have been there, alright? But I've been at the hospital all night.

-My granddad fell over. -Really?

He fell down the stairs by the bins.

I've been in A&E for hours with no reception.

-Hmm? -He's cracked two ribs.

They think it's gonna affect his breathing.

I called your granddad last night. He didn't mention any cracked ribs.

He did say you were at the hospital, though.

Matthew Forester had a heart attack, apparently?

Karen--!

[door opens]

SHAUN: Right. You alright, yeah?

Granddad?

GRANDDAD: What happened?

Matty Forester in hospital with a heart attack?

Well, I had to say something.

-Where's your phone? -There.

SHAUN: I wanna borrow it.

[line ringing]

RECORDING: This is Hannah Roberts. For anything urgent,

-please contact the office at-- -[phone beeps]

[line ringing]

RECORDING: This is Hannah Roberts.

For anything urgent, please contact the office--

[beeps]

[line ringing]

This is Hannah Roberts. For anything urgent,

please contact the office at--

[sighs]

[man speaking online]

Thanks to the tenacity of our Counter Terrorism officers,

that nightmare did not become a reality.

MALE REPORTER: The suspects claimed they had no connection

to the Birmingham-based arms dealer.

This CCTV footage says otherwise.

[reporter continues]

[moaning]

HANNAH: Your granddad's right about you.

You're not bad.

[silent]

[grunts]

[sniffles]

[grandfather snoring]

[door closes]

[keyboard clicking]

[silent]

[beeps]

-Easy. -There's no one here.

Anyway, I know your parking space isn't covered.

[Rachel sighs]

Anyone we know?

MI5, I'm guessing.

Because?

Because she dresses like she's at a funeral

and walks like she owns the world?

[chuckles]

I had Shaun Emery in custody last night.

What do you mean? Shaun Emery just got acquitted?

No, that's old news. I've had him on CCTV

for assault and kidnap.

-He even pos ID'd himself on the footage. -What a result!

It was. Until she came along and redacted the footage.

Shit!

What other evidence have you got?

[sighs]

Nothing that would convince the CPS.

Nothing much at all, actually.

Tsk. Sorry, Rach. That's tough.

Yeah.

A woman's missing and we just released her attacker

out onto the street.

Do you know The Rook in Plaistow?

-Should I? -No. It's a horrible little pub.

We had a camera hidden in the back room a few years ago

'cause a bunch far-right idiots were meeting in there,

planning attacks on mosques.

One night, about halfway into the operation,

one of them decides to drag a semi-conscious woman in there

and rape her.

Caught on camera?

And we couldn't use it as evidence.

It would have shown out the probe and sunk the op.

Mosque attack equals mass threat to life. That took priority.

Yeah, but mine isn't a hidden camera.

It's council, it's street CCTV.

You know, I can't see any reason

to redact that evidence unless...

Unless what?

You should see the look on his face.

It's like he's in complete denial.

Only it's more than that.

More?

If there's any way you could reach out to our friend here,

and find out why it was redacted?

No, the Service only share with me

when they need to, you know that.

But you can be sure, if she is who you think she is,

it would have been done for a good reason.

[Rachel sighs]

It's not true, you know.

The coverage on that camera.

It catches the edge of the driver's seat. It can see me...

but it can't see you.

Can't see this.

We said that was that.

You're still in my car.

DANNY: Ahem.

Alright, I can't promise anything but send me the smudge.

I'll have a dig around,

see what I can find.

Thank you.

WOMAN: Shaun Emery is here to see you.

They gave you bail?

Yeah, yeah. It was, uh, "pre-charge", they said.

It's all bollocks, anyway.

Have you seen Hannah?

I've, um-- I'm in a hurry.

I have got to get my stuff and go to court.

-Have you tried looking where she lives? -I can't do this.

-Do what, Charlie? What are you talking about? -Of course I haven't seen her!

You don't believe that shit, do you?

That fucking bullshit tape that they showed us?

Charlie, it's fake.

Someone's got it and-- and they've changed it somehow.

It's like that fucking Helmand video

only a million times fucking worse.

I can't represent you, Shaun. I'm not your lawyer anymore.

[chuckles]

Thanks, mate.

[cell phone ringing]

DI Carey.

NICK: You still looking for the lab results on that Rover?

Yes.

I could hear how desperate you were

so I've been hounding them all morning,

got the report on the interior pushed through.

Oh, thank you.

Majority of hair and skin samples found in the boot

and in the interior of the car

match the vehicle owner or a family member.

No matches to the DNA of the alleged victim.

-No match to the-- -Nothing from the victim?

Nothing from the alleged victim, yeah.

I said I'd get you the result.

I didn't say I'd get you the result you wanted.

Wanted to have a quick word, ma'am. Away from wigging ears.

Ma'am, Shaun Emery doesn't know me.

I wasn't at the interview or the arrest.

I could follow him, see what we can learn.

-Surveillance detail? -PATRICK: I'd keep my distance in a motor.

He might lead us right to Hannah Roberts.

We can't launch surveillance without a warrant.

Yeah, sometimes, ma'am, we'd rather beg forgiveness than ask permission,

if you follow my drift.

Look, Shaun Emery's a soldier.

A target like that needs human surveillance,

aerial platforms, digital intercepts.

Besides, you know,

we don't know what the service has invested in all this.

Well, personally, I can't think of a reason

that justifies leaving a missing woman to rot.

Forensics didn't find any trace of the victim's DNA

in the vehicle.

I doesn't make any sense to me either.

Well, maybe it was them.

MI5 had the car scrubbed.

That's hysterical.

Covering up Emery's crime. Protecting a soldier.

The Service aren't perfect but they're not the enemy, Patrick.

You know, these people deal with mass threats to life,

so, like it or not, their priorities trump ours.

[sighs]

I am gonna find out the reason for the redaction.

In the meantime, if you want to trail Emery properly

then you need to find me some evidence first.

[ringing]

CHARLIE: No charges?

-Mr. Hall. -He came to my office!

-Shall we find somewhere to sit down? -Where's Hannah?

If I discover she has suffered unnecessarily

due to police action, or inaction,

I will rain lawsuits down on the fucking lot of you.

The flawed evidence in Shaun's appeal.

What was it?

I mean, it's mentioned in some of the reports,

but they don't go into much detail.

Uh, the helmet-camera

that recorded him was faulty-- out of sync.

So, Shaun Emery wins his appeal

on the basis of flawed video,

then gets arrested and claims the video evidence isn't real.

That's probably where he got the idea from.

You think that was all an act?

In the interview room?

Um...

I know Shaun Emery. Very well.

Go on.

Last time, you told me he was "salt of the earth".

So if you know any different, then please share it.

My friend and colleague is missing. You said you would find her.

[knocks on door, whistles]

Oi!

[door opens]

What happened to you the other night?

Hey.

You shag that lawyer?

Well, you're out now, Shauny, so maybe take it easy.

Yeah, I'm out, but where's Hannah? Hmm?

She ain't at work, she ain't answering her phone.

-Someone's got her. -Let the police find her.

They ain't looking.

I just went to her flat. There's no one there.

-You went to her house? -I can't just sit here and do nothing.

I wanted to see what was inside the flat.

And you want me to help you get in?

I don't know what I'm gonna find, but I've gotta start somewhere.

So what, it was like, CGI or what?

I don't know, but it looked real. Like real life.

They had me and her, yeah?

But she got on the bus, but they made out that she didn't.

Just after we kissed.

They made it look like you kissed?

The kiss was-- the kiss was real.

They had me and her.

[silent]

And it looks like that she's trying to...

get away from me.

SHAUN: They made it so that I--

that I grab her.

[silent]

They've made it out that...

I grab her.

Shauny...

you know I'm the only person that's gonna say this, right,

to your face?

Now, there's no way in the world you'd ever do something like that...

on purpose. Like, you're sound, mate, always.

And when you joined up, it done you good-- being in the army.

Sorted you out. We all saw that.

What's your point?

Now, how many people came back from your tour needing counselling, mate?

Huh?

-What? -It doesn't make it your fault.

-You think I did it. -Look, I'm only asking--

You think I could fucking do something like that?

-'Cause what you're saying, it makes no sense-- -[snaps] I know! I know.

[music playing on TV]

Come on...

[sniffs]

[faint barking]

Shaun!

Shaun!

So what is it, a deadlock?

It's a key fob on the outside. Inside, I dunno.

Better stop at a chemist.
