Original subtitles

TOM: 'Four years ago, Amber Dodds comes in looking for help

'when Stanley Vogel is stalking her. We don't do shit.'

EMMA: 'He's guilty, he'll get away with it and do it again.'

I know you're gonna tell Walker about the Vogel case.

I know you're gonna tell him what I did.

Tom Radley, you're under arrest for the murder of Sophie Madsen.

'You knew this was gonna happen? Why didn't you warn me?'

DI Radley was the last known person to see Sophie Madsen alive.

He was caught on camera.

Video of this was shared with me by DI Crane.

'Between what Sophie told us and that group chat and the video,

'we knew there was something really wrong at Wakestead Police Station.'

So, where were you last night?

Because you've really got a thing for her,

and now she's been murdered.

'Someone at Wakestead killed Sophie Madsen.'

If we can prove that, if we can put a murderer away,

then your name is cleared.

So, what do we do?

We investigate Wakestead.

Because our own department is number-one suspect

when it comes to Sophie's case.

Any of our colleagues could've killed her

or at least know what happened in Dankworth Forest.

Stevens and James would wanna keep her quiet. Walker, too.

What about Drummond? I mean, he was obsessed with her.

Maybe he's been following her.

Maybe... Maybe he knows something about it?

And he'd stay quiet about it. They all would.

They'd absolutely love it if I took the fall.

But how do we even do this?

How do we investigate our own department?

Walker will stonewall everything.

We introduce evidence that gets the case above Walker.

Get it to the Chief Superintendent.

OK, Sophie's 999 call implies that she was with a police officer

the moment she died.

I don't think it's enough.

No, I agree. We need a motive.

We need the SD card with Sophie's interview on it.

That's evidence of what someone at Wakestead would want to keep quiet.

We put the 999 call with the SD card,

and we get to the Chief Super.

But no-one can know that you saw the recording

and then you withheld it from the investigation.

You would be reported straight to the IOPC,

and you would be straight off the case. OK.

It has to just be on me. OK. Right, OK.

In your interview, you say that you found it,

and in front of Lewis, you tell me where the SD card is.

KNOCK ON DOOR

I never thought I'd be interviewing another detective.

Still wrapping my head around it.

Where do we even start?

Same place we start with all interviews.

We listen.

Why drive anywhere with Sophie Madsen?

Why not have a conversation at the station?

She said she didn't feel comfortable at the station,

so I had to talk to her somewhere neutral,

so I drove towards her house.

I dropped her at Barton Drive cos it's quiet

and it's close to her road.

And where precisely did you park?

On the right, about halfway up.

There was a graffiti on a grit bin straight in front of us.

I didn't notice it before I parked,

but I became super-aware of it because it was a cock and balls,

and she could see it.

And your car was on the road?

It was half on, half off, on the verge. OK.

And what did Sophie say?

She talked about an interview she'd had at this station,

about Frasier assaulting her.

She said the officers she'd talked to

made her touch herself in this interview.

Wait... t-touch herself?

I-In what way? In an explicit way.

She said the experience left her traumatised.

Do you have any proof of this? You don't have to answer that.

It's OK. There is a recording.

The officers, they filmed the whole thing.

Right, which... which officers?

You see DC Stevens, but I believe DC James is there as well.

Look, Sophie wanted to make a formal complaint.

I said I would go with her to record it,

but she was scared.

She...

She wanted to think about it,

so I set a second meeting for two days later, me and her.

All I did was drive her home.

Nearly home.

And when I searched Stevens' and James' desk,

I found an SD card in James' top drawer.

And I watched it.

What they did to Sophie Madsen was sexual assault.

I needed that second meeting with her before I could proceed...

so I put that card back in James's top drawer...

not to alert him.

H-Hold on. You said "nearly".

You drove Sophie "nearly" home?

She said she didn't wanna be seen getting out of a stranger's car,

so I dropped her off on Barton Drive,

five minutes from her house.

But you cleaned your car.

And you lied about ever meeting with Sophie Madsen.

You lied to your colleagues.

Why? Again, Tom, you don't need...

I cleaned my car the next day,

after I found out someone killed her,

because I panicked.

You would, too. We all know how this looks.

But why would I kill a kid I'd never met before?

A kid who approached me?

It makes no sense.

Look, I left Sophie safe and well.

Someone must have waylaid her after I dropped her

and before she got to her house.

An interview between James, Stevens and Sophie Madsen

on a fucking SD card,

and Tom didn't report this?

He said it's in James's drawer.

Oh, Jesus wept.

All right, let's see it.

It's not here. If it was ever real.

You know, it wouldn't be the first time Tom's told a lie.

We can't just dismiss it outright. Agreed.

I'll speak with Stevens and James. Unbelievable.

Shit!

We should move our stuff into there.

OK. Why? Quieter.

Look, even without the SD card,

Tom has given us his account of what happened

in the lead-up to Sophie's death.

Let's see if we can verify it.

Yeah, just pull in here.

This is the spot where Tom said he dropped Sophie.

Barton Drive. There's no CCTV here.

Course not.

But there's definitely cameras half a mile back up that road.

Erm... no turn-offs after it, so...

So if Tom was there, we'll get his car on it and a time.

And maybe a sighting of Sophie after he dropped her off.

DI Crane, please inform the duty officer

I'll need some uniform freed up to do door-to-door

between Barton Drive and Sophie Madsen's family home.

ON RADIO: 'Received. Will pass on.' Copy.

Ma'am. Boss.

This interview with Sophie... Mm.

...you know, what Tom is saying Stevens and James did... Mm.

...in my head, I want to believe Tom,

but I also don't want to believe

something like that could even happen at Wakestead.

Regardless, where's the SD card?

I mean, could be James moved it, which is a pure coincidence.

Or could be that someone was in the viewing room,

watching the feed during our interview with Tom.

And if that's the case, that card might have been destroyed by now.

Cock and balls. Just as Tom said.

But the third option is that Walker's right, and Tom was lying,

and the card never existed.

What? Is that what you think?

That Tom made the whole thing up?

I don't know. Yeah, you said that.

Forget your head... what's your gut telling you?

Look, we need to find out if anyone was in that viewing room.

I could ask around?

It's delicate, I know. I can be subtle.

OK.

So, Pete, tell me you can get detail after the rain?

Enough to match the tyre? PETE SIGHS

I don't know yet. How long do you need?

Twenty minutes till this is solid,

then I'll have a better idea.

OFFICER ON RADIO: 'DI Crane, the forensics search

'of DI Tom Radley's residence is now underway.

'You asked to be notified.' OK, on my way.

Do we go now?

I'll go.

You stay here, let me know if the cast is good.

OFFICER: They're on the second floor, boss.

CAMERA CLICKS

DISTORTED VOICES

Get this shirt and trousers. Boss.

He was wearing that the day of the murder.

How was the tyre cast?

Er... Pete did a lot of teeth-sucking.

Said he'd let us know.

But we've got Tom's car logged

on the route leading to Barton Drive, 5:04pm.

That's great. That lines up with his story.

Why are you in here? It was distracting out there.

HE CHUCKLES I do love a team player (!)

So, where are we? Erm, checking the timelines.

Lewis has been able to get a camera hit for us.

It puts Tom at Barton Drive,

where he said he dropped Sophie off at that time.

We've got uniform doing door-to-door from there to Sophie's family home

to see if there's been any sightings.

We might be able to verify Tom's story.

Did you speak to James and Stevens about the SD card?

I did, yeah, yeah.

They're about to wrap up on their Kirkmore Heights case,

and then they'll be coming on board to assist.

They say there was no meeting with Sophie Madsen, full stop.

They say Tom's lying through his teeth just to protect his own skin.

I'm apt to believe them.

I mean, Tom never really liked those two, did he?

What you need right now are resources,

which Stevens and James are.

Use them.

In other news, the CPS are releasing Tom on bail pending charge.

But he is still our main suspect. We focus on him.

Sir, did you drive your Mercedes to the safety event?

Just thinking maybe your dashcam caught some footage

of Sophie being there.

Around Mountgrove Square.

Did you head home after the event finished at five?

Look, I can check your dashcam footage for you.

I don't mind.

I'm afraid my dashcam's broken. It's been like that for months.

Sorry.

Did you just ask a senior officer for an alibi?

No.

Because it sounded like you just asked a senior officer for an alibi.

I'm just after the footage.

Bedtime, let's go.

I'll be up in a few minutes to tuck you in, OK?

I saw the news.

Did he do it? Do you know him?

You know, Tom was one of the ones that I really liked.

I mean, most of them are just...

But he really wasn't.

I've gotta be careful how I think, though.

Just because I want someone to be innocent, it doesn't mean they are.

I reckon you're a good judge of character.

You picked me.

I sincerely don't remember having a choice.

'He's stable, but you can't go and see him.

'Keep away, yeah?'

Emma...

Arsehole or not, he was your partner, so I get it.

You can't see him. Stop creeping round.

You need to go now, before I notice you're here.

Is he all right?

They got him good... but he'll recover.

Please... just protect him.

So you do understand the concept of looking out for each other.

It's interesting.

KNOCK ON DOOR Boss?

Yeah? The door-to-door.

I'm afraid no luck. No-one saw Sophie Madsen.

You sure? I am.

Right, what about the Ring doorbells?

There were six, but none on subscription,

so they don't keep video. Right.

I am sorry...

...about...

Sure.

What were you doing for an hour and 57 minutes?

What's an hour, 57?

Oh, sorry, no, I was just talking to myself.

Well, I've talked to real people.

I've asked four now, but no-one seems to know

if anyone was in the viewing room to hear about the SD card

when we were interviewing Tom. Mm.

I also got us sandwiches.

Ham and cheese or cheese and ham.

Your choice. Pig and pig?

Oh, my God, you're... I'm a vegetarian, yeah.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought you were Jewish and I was antisemitic.

Oh, no, I've had a big breakfast.

And I'm not hungry anyway.

Now, look at this.

The CCTV of Sophie's bus trip into town to Mountgrove Square.

That line on her shoulder there,

that's not part of her top.

It's a strap. It's part of a bag.

But she doesn't have a bag when she gets into Tom's car

and in none of the footage on Mountgrove Square.

So, where did it go?

So, we now know Sophie Madsen had a bag

on the afternoon of her death.

This is the bag here.

This is Sophie's route from the bus stop to Mountgrove Square.

Somewhere along this route, the bag went missing.

Lewis is gonna put you into teams.

Let's search the route, and let's find that bag.

Thank you. Er, quick announcement.

As a result of the arrest of DI Radley,

the IOPC will be in attendance tomorrow.

GROANING

They'll be asking questions about the culture here.

They will have full station access,

including the authority to examine drawers, lockers,

you know, personal vehicles while on-site.

I'm unconcerned because obviously, no matter how hard they look,

they won't find anything damaging to the reputation of this station.

Nevertheless, please give them your fullest co-operation.

Sorry about that, Em. No worries.

Is that...? Is that offensive? Oh!

LAUGHTER, CHATTER

Oh, the hats. LAUGHTER

MOANING, LAUGHTER

Sorry, everyone!

Sexbunnies.co.uk.

Walker tells me you're joining the team.

Yeah. Should be tomorrow. Great.

Well, Sophie had three worlds - school, home, skating.

Let's look at the people who were in those worlds, shall we?

Specifically, I'd like you to look at her dad. Tactfully.

I'm tactful as fuck, me.

Well, he's grieving. OK?

Let's get his phone to Shergill.

Let's see if there's anything untoward on it.

Let's also check the men in her extended family as well.

We'll do the neighbours, too.

Look, we have done this before, you know?

Then her school.

Get a list of all her male teachers, this year and last.

Let's run background checks on them.

They'll have all been DBS checked up the arse.

SCOFFS What, like Frasier was?

Yes, guv. We'll get on it.

Pervert patrol. DC JAMES CHUCKLES

Haven't you got a bag to find?

SHE SCOFFS SOFTLY

So, the guy from the vape shop, which is here,

just told Kat he remembers a girl matching Sophie's description

running into him on Thursday afternoon.

I mean, someone could have mugged her, taken her bag?

No, I don't think it was a mugging.

It's within hours of being murdered, and no-one has that bad a day.

So it must be connected.

So, the street here is about a three minutes' walk

from the vape shop,

but it's not part of Sophie's route, but it is quiet.

I mean, if I'm a man who's just stolen a girl's pink bag...

might be where I ditched it. Exactly.

We going? No, I'll go.

I want you to find out what James and Stevens did

after the safety event, before the pub.

Without setting fire to CID?

Preferably, yeah. HE GROANS

Great (!)

KAT: Remember, the bag is pink.

Carl, Tony, why don't you go down that road? Kat?

Hm?

Leave the rest of the team to finish here.

Let's head down to that alley near the car park.

But that's beyond the search radius.

It is.

Do you wanna start there? Yeah.

Ugh...

He is trying, you know? Who, exactly?

Drummond, he is trying.

Yeah, now. He's trying now.

And which award do you feel that earns him?

Boss.

Got it.

She had a boyfriend,

and she kept him a secret from her parents.

SIREN WAILS, KNOCK ON DOOR

All right? DOOR CLOSES

So, the CID calendar has James and Stevens down

as visiting a witness at Kirkmore Heights, five until six.

Right.

But I looked at their case file. They just say witness unavailable.

Really? Mm-hm.

Those flats have got CCTV in their car park.

If it's not been vandalised,

could you... could you find out what security company it is

and put in a footage request?

OK. Thanks.

Any chance you're gonna tell me why I'm checking their alibis?

Why you were looking into Walker's?

I was hoping you'd join me

in interviewing Sophie's boyfriend, Theo Asaro.

He's in the family room.

OK.

So, he could have done it, right?

I mean, Tom drops Sophie where he says.

Could be Theo who waylays her.

Mm, well, I'd buy him for the bag snatch.

I'm less certain on the murder. Why?

What is it?

Look, I have a theory, all right? It's too early to share.

Yeah, but we're supposed to share theories with each other.

That's the whole point. You're keeping me at arm's length.

Come on, you know that...

that's something I can get on any investigation.

Are you joining me for Theo or not?

Theo, we are so sorry for your loss.

Were you and Sophie still seeing each other at the time of her death?

No, we'd finished. She dumped me just before Christmas.

It sounds mean, but she wasn't.

She just kind of friend-zoned me.

And how long were you seeing each other for?

Erm, from the last week of summer till the day before Christmas Eve.

Look, I know this is hard, but I do need to ask,

where were you on Thursday between 3pm and 6pm?

Er, yeah, of course.

I was helping my dad with his allotment from two-ish...

Mm-hm. ...and then we...

...we came home for dinner around six-ish.

Yeah. OK.

And kids wrecked it all last year, so they put CCTV in.

I must be on that, right?

OK, great. Thank you. We will check that.

Now, can you think of anyone

who might have had a grudge against Sophie

or maybe took an unhealthy interest in her?

There was her skating coach.

Yeah, we... we are aware of him.

Can you think of anyone else?

Look, Theo, if you do mention anyone,

it would be entirely anonymous.

OK, look...

Sophie, she still liked me, so we still spoke,

and she told me about her skating coach.

Said that she'd gone to complain about him

to the police a while ago,

but that was just worse, cos in the interview,

they were just awful to her.

And she said they were... they were perverts.

Theo, did she mention any names? Did she say who mistreated her?

No, but two days before she passed, she...

she told me that she knew that the police weren't just pervs

to girls inside of the station, that one of them was a real...

...one of them was a real fucking monster,

and she used that word - "monster".

Said that he rapes and attacks women outside of the station,

and she could prove it.

Erm... did she say how she could prove it?

She... She said that she'd found one of his victims.

But that was it. She wouldn't say any more.

She made me swear not to say anything,

but if I had just told someone, then maybe...

No, Theo. Theo, listen, all right?

There are people to blame for what happened to Sophie,

but you're not one of them.

OK?

You're not one of them.

OK.

What Tom said Stevens and James did to Sophie, it was true.

And if Theo's telling the truth, then someone at our station is a...

a monster.

Whatever evidence Sophie had, however she knew,

it might have got her killed.

Look, I... I should have told you this, but...

...Tom lied in our interview to save me.

That SD card exists.

And I know that because I found it with Tom in James's desk.

We watched that interview together, and we chose not to tell Walker.

Everything on that card is what Tom said -

sexual assault...

instant dismissal for James and Stevens.

But it was a bomb that would have blown up the whole station.

OK? Sophie's case would have been taken away from us,

destroying our chance of catching a killer.

We thought it was Frasier, 100%,

and we couldn't let it derail us.

We were going to come forward with the tape

after Frasier got charged.

It gets worse. Erm...

Sophie's 999 call.

What about it? Have you listened to it?

Yeah. Well, in the background, there's a monotone.

It's a police radio.

Oh, my...

So we know a police officer was there when Sophie died.

That's certain.

But here's what I think but can't prove yet -

a copper might've killed her.

An officer at Wakestead saw Sophie getting into Tom's car,

and they shit themselves

because they knew Sophie was gonna reveal them as a predator.

This is the theory you wouldn't share?

Yes, and it matches what Theo just told us.

Look, Lewis, this is me letting you in, OK,

and apologising and giving you the opportunity to step away.

What?

There's someone at Wakestead who's a serial predator. OK?

Working on something like this with me is a risk to your career.

You have a family to think about. Yeah, I do.

And I wanna be able to look them in the eye, don't I?

Look, we...

...should take this all to DCI Walker.

I-I mean, that's what we're supposed to do.

I haven't told you about the group chat.

What group chat? SHE EXHALES

I mean, it's probably been deleted by now,

but... there's a lot of police officers on it,

including James and Stevens.

The messages they shared about women,

the crime scene pictures, jokes about rape.

And there was photos of Sophie on there.

Walker was a group admin.

He was at Mountgrove Square.

He could have seen Sophie getting in Tom's car, and he could've followed.

He'd know that anything she said,

if it went public, would fall on him.

He's a suspect. PHONE CHIMES

SHE SCOFFS And now he wants to talk.

Sir. This boyfriend, fill me in.

Theo Asaro.

I mean, we will check, but he does appear

to have a concrete alibi from 3pm onwards.

Did he say anything useful?

Not yet.

The IOPC are in Room 2.

They've brought in Tom's partner before you, Kapil Manek,

and their SIO is interviewing him.

They're trying to get a sense of Tom, of his history here.

Well, Tom has a great reputation.

Tom HAD a great reputation. That's gone.

Emma, you should be aware

that Tom's past cases will most likely be reviewed.

So, anything unusual,

like discovering evidence at the last minute

leading to a major conviction,

that's the kind of thing the IOPC are gonna look at

in a whole new light now.

TOM: Amber Dodds comes into the station for help

when Stanley Vogel is stalking her. We don't do shit.

But then he rapes her, he kills her,

and he leaves her in an alley in the rain,

and we still don't do shit because the evidence isn't there.

OFFICER: Mr Vogel, anything you need to take to the police station,

I suggest you take it now.

Skeletons in any closets? Completely agree.

You've got nothing on me.

Both are veggie.

Halloumi and red onion

or non-specific cheese and something brown.

What did Walker want?

Er, to know what Theo told us.

I mentioned his alibi but nothing else.

That's Walker, his number plate.

Anyone will be able to see that you looked for it

on the search database.

Are you sure you wanna do that?

How do we investigate the station without the station knowing?

Look, just let me check CCTV manually for Walker's car for you.

OK? It's less thorough than ANPR, but it won't get you logged.

Yeah?

OK.

WHISPERING

Pete.

Pete. Please give me some good news.

Well, I've two pieces of news for you.

Whether they're good or not depends on what you're after.

The tyre impression on Barton Drive is conclusive.

It's a match for Tom Radley's front offside tyre.

Mm-hm. And secondly...

the clothes from Tom's laundry basket -

there's no mud, no blood traces,

also no evidence of Sophie Madsen's DNA.

He could have ridden in the car with her,

but there's no way he could have killed her.

I could hug you. No. No.

No, I don't hug. No.

I know what people are covered in. SHE CHUCKLES

SHE EXHALES

HE SIGHS

Jesus.

Is that... Walker?

SIREN WAILS

DI Kapil Manek? Just Mr these days.

I'm... I'm Emma Crane. I work with Tom.

Guessing you wanna hear about how my interview with IOPC went? Mm.

I'm not exactly subtle, am I? SHE CHUCKLES

That's OK.

Er... they wanted to hear about the culture in the station back then.

Mm-hm.

And she asked me about what Tom was like with women.

On cases, social occasions, everything.

OK.

I was tactful about the station and the banter...

...but I had zero bad things to say about Tom.

He was...

He wasn't at all like the rest of them.

He was plenty smooth with the ladies,

but they were all age-appropriate ones,

never on a case.

I never saw him overstep on anything.

He was completely professional at work.

Sorry, if you don't mind me asking, why'd you leave?

HE TRILLS HIS LIPS My career was stagnating here.

Sometimes you just know when it's time to move on, you know?

Speaking of which, sorry, but I've got a train to catch.

Oh, yeah. No, it's fine.

All the best on this one. Thank you. All right.

See you.

SHE SIGHS

No plates, but it's definitely the same model as Walker's,

the same colour,

and it's between Tom's drop-off point at Barton Drive

and Sophie's house at 5:08pm.

Huh.

OK. Hm.

Take a look. From forensics.

Tom couldn't have touched her, let alone murdered her. Mm-hm.

So everything he said was true. But where do we go from here?

It's not like we can interview anyone at Wakestead,

treat them like suspects.

Well, maybe we don't have to. What do you mean?

I've been thinking. Mm.

Tom told officers he couldn't see his attackers, right?

Or what if Tom couldn't say the truth

because of whoever was interviewing him?

Look, maybe what gets us to the next step in this investigation

is talking to Tom directly.

And not in an interview room when we're being watched.

If anyone found out, we'd be sacked.

What other choice do we have?

Lewis...

I'm giving you one more chance to just look the other way, OK?

Everyone here looks the other way.

That's why there's a predator amongst us.

'It's gotta stop.'

Beer o'clock. You coming?

I... I don't think you've ever invited me out for beers before.

Aw. Which means we are overdue.

I need to get back for my daughter. It's bath night.

Fair enough... if that's the reason.

Long as it's not Emma...

got you too afraid to even talk to us.

LEWIS CHUCKLES SOFTLY

You know what, I could stop for one. Good man.

I'll see you there.

DOOR CLOSES

HE KISSES TEETH

STEVENS: 'We never cross a line.

'That's what Tom doesn't understand.'

I mean, jokes can be jokes without being anything but jokes.

For fuck's sake.

We wouldn't have done what he's saying we did.

Hm. But he's desperate, mate. I do get that.

Fucking hell, he must be.

If I were him, I'd say anything to get out from under the spotlight.

You think he did it?

Sorry?

Do you think Tom Radley killed Sophie Madsen?

I don't know. Well... I'm hoping he's innocent.

I hope he clears his name. Course you do.

If he's guilty, we all look bad. No.

It's more than that. I just...

I don't like the idea of working next to someone for years,

not knowing who they really are.

Speaking of which, Lewis, got something to say to you.

So, when this is all over, you should join more of our cases.

Get to know each other. LEWIS CHUCKLES

Because we're overdue?

Exactly, mate. Yeah, cheers to that.

Right, I've gotta head. Bedtime stories beckon.

See you boys tomorrow. Yeah.

Yeah, see you, Lewis.

Oh, give her one for me.

Sorry?

Your wife.

ALL LAUGH

It's a joke!

It was a fucking joke!

You learn anything?

Here's what I know -

a week ago, if you had told me about any of this,

I wouldn't have believed you.

And now?

How far is this place?

Follow me.
