LEWIS: 'What, you two never pick on anyone

'who might give you trouble, right?'

STRAINING, GRUNTING

You need anything, I'm happy to help.

I've gotta go.

STATIC That sound.

I've got no idea what it is. It's a police radio.

Yeah, that's him. He paid me to buy the mobile.

LEWIS: 'I guess he just wanted Tom to look bad.'

'Vogel didn't kill Amber Dodds.

'I put an innocent man in prison.

'Whoever these photos belonged to must have killed Sophie as well.

'I think they're Polaroids.'

'And these were the only two?'

Yeah.

He messaged me, threatened me, a few minutes ago.

He's someone you work with, and he's watching us both.

I know he's on your group chat but not on this number.

The reverse subscriber search will give us what we need.

We just need to wait. No, we don't. There's another way.

Emma. I really need your help.

But you'll help me, right?

Of course I will. Come on in.

Neil, I need your help...

...and I need it to stay under the radar. OK.

Happy to keep it on the downlow.

I don't think you understand how serious this is.

I need you to promise me something.

I haven't told anyone that I'm here tonight,

and no-one can ever find out.

I promise.

There's a mobile number that I need you to look into.

I have tried every legal avenue to find out who it belongs to,

and they're all dead ends.

I was hoping that you'd... you'd have another way.

Well, there are less legal ways of looking into these things.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

The number belongs to a Wakestead officer

who I think is responsible for Sophie Madsen's murder.

HE SCOFFS I thought Tom was.

It's not Tom. It's another Wakestead officer.

And it's not just Sophie Madsen's murder.

He has assaulted... multiple women.

How?

Emma, you're asking me to do something I could get sacked for.

I think it's fair I get the details.

There's a serial predator at Wakestead,

and he operates in a very specific pattern.

Vulnerable girls and women come into the station needing help.

Most of them don't get any.

He later reaches out to them, tells them he's an officer,

says he'll help them.

He then drugs them and rapes them.

The women don't remember him.

They're too afraid to come back into the police station.

And I think it's been going on for years.

H-How do you even know? Sophie Madsen figured it out,

and I think that's what got her killed.

She had evidence, and now I have it.

You have evidence?

Yeah.

S... So this isn't just a theory? I mean, you have actual...

He took pictures...

...of the women after he, erm...

And now I have the pictures.

Fuck me. I can't even...

Yeah. HE EXHALES

I need a drink.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

BOTTLES CLINK

All I have is wine. Care to join me?

Er, yeah, go on. I'll have one.

Had you down for a beer drinker, Neil.

CHUCKLING: The wine's leftover from a dinner party.

SHE CHUCKLES Oh, thank you.

Oh! SIGHING: It's been a day.

HE EXHALES

The mobile number, you're... you're sure it belongs to this... predator?

Yeah. And he's a Wakestead copper? Mm-hm.

But then it should be easy to find which officer it belongs to, right?

No, because he uses another number for anything work-related.

I've checked everything.

There is a group chat at Wakestead.

I mean, I don't know if you know about it... I know it.

I'm on it.

You... Doesn't mean I like what they're saying.

Doesn't mean I join in.

It just means... I don't know.

It's hard to explain.

Try.

It's information gathering.

Observing how people behave.

What they say.

What they don't say.

I just watch.

SHE INHALES SHARPLY

This mobile number, it wasn't on the group chat? No.

Yeah, he does sound smart, then, yeah.

Can I see?

What, the number?

Well, how else can I trace it for you?

SHE EXHALES

SHE CLEARS THROAT Yeah, of course.

I'm just gonna, erm...

I took a screenshot of it.

Hold on, one sec. SHE INHALES SHARPLY

Erm...

It's in my photos.

You're sure this is the guy?

SOFTLY: Yeah. How do you know?

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY, GULPS

The same number...

The same number sent a threatening message to one of the victims.

Wow.

When was that?

Today. SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

Have you tried just calling the number?

Mm-hm. What happens?

Just... It just rings. Huh.

Should we try it now?

WHISPERS: I don't feel well.

I'm sorry.

I need air. SHE GROANS

SHE EXHALES, GROANS

SHE PANTS

Oh, I really don't feel well.

PHONE RINGS

Don't worry, Emma. I'll keep my promise.

No-one will ever know you were here. RINGING CONTINUES

Oh, it's freezing out there.

DOOR CLOSES, LOCK CLICKS

It's so nice to meet you in person, Sophie, even if it's under...

well, these circumstances.

Please, please, sit down, sit down.

I'm glad we could meet here instead.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just kind of young for the pub.

No big deal. Happy to improvise.

I can just bring the pub to us.

I'm 16.

So I'm guessing you're not driving, then?

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY, SHE CHUCKLES

Cheers.

So, how's this supposed to work, with me coming forward?

HE SNIFFS

Well, the most direct route is for you to go to the press,

but the problem is always going to be, will people believe you?

Well, I'd be telling the truth.

Yeah, but you're young, and people are sceptical of kids.

HE SIGHS

We tend to think that they're just looking for attention.

But there's a video of what happened to me.

According to you. HE LAUGHS

The police will say that video doesn't exist.

Well, can't you get it?

Well, I could try, Sophie, and I will.

But do you remember if you could see the...

the detectives in the video?

Well, I never saw it, so how could I?

Was the camera ever pointed at them?

No, but you could hear their voices.

See, that's the thing.

AI is pretty amazing.

Police would claim that the audio's been doctored.

It feels like you're trying to talk me out of doing this.

No, that's not what I... Do you not want me to say something?

No, all I want is for you to understand

how big of a deal this could be.

Why would you ask me to come here if that's not what we were gonna do?

I just wanted to talk it through.

That's all.

Can I use your loo?

Sure. Yeah?

At the top of the stairs.

OK, thanks.

DOOR RATTLES

Can you find it, Sophie? Top of the stairs.

BREATHES HEAVILY

You OK up there?

SHATTERING

Shit!

DOOR OPENS

BREATHES HEAVILY

SHE GROANS

You're the monster.

SHE GROANS

You raped all those women.

What I do in my private life is my own business, thank you very much.

You killed Amber Dodds.

Well, she woke up. It wasn't my fault.

But I wasn't expecting you to frame Vogel for it,

so thank you very much.

Well done.

SHE CRIES

You killed Sophie Madsen.

HE CHUCKLES You're sick.

You're sick! You're fucking sick!

I'm not sick, Emma.

I'm actually a pretty nice guy.

In fact, I'm so nice,

I'm going to calmly walk you through everything that's going to happen

so you can prepare yourself.

Pretty soon, you're gonna lose the ability to speak.

And then you'll lose control of your muscles.

SHE GROANS I'm sorry.

SHE PANTS

You're just gonna have to disappear. SHE CRIES

I don't have any other choice.

Just go to sleep.

There you go.

Just go to sleep.

That's all it is, going to sleep.

SHE EXHALES

BANGING

GROANING

HEARTBEAT THRUMS

MACHINES BEEP

Hello?!

Hello?!

Hello, Emma. You've woken up in hospital.

Everything's gonna be OK.

EMMA BREATHES HEAVILY

VOICES FADE

DCI WALKER: Tom's OK, Emma. Really, he's fine.

He managed to overpower Shergill, and then he killed him.

Tom was arrested for his murder.

He used appropriate force in the circumstances,

so he won't be prosecuted.

Jesus.

This is my fault.

I took a screenshot of it. Hold on. One sec.

'I texted him.'

I didn't know if he would make it in time.

I thought... I thought he might not. I...

SHE INHALES, EXHALES SHAKILY

Shergill's connection with Marissa Andrei and Kacy Denson

has been verified,

so he's guilty of drugging and assaulting them both.

Well, that might be some comfort for both of them...

to know who he was and the fact that he's gone.

We found more Polaroids at his address.

Yeah, we're still working to verify the identities, but...

there were many more victims, it seems.

Shergill had manipulated Sophie Madsen's mobile phone information.

We now see that her mobile pinged on a mast near his house

a few days before her death.

So we can establish a connection between them

and a motive for Shergill to have murdered her.

You were right, Emma. Well done.

Oh, Lewis is fine, by the way, so don't worry.

Why, what's happened to Lewis?

Fucking hell, how long have I been out?!

HE CHUCKLES, SHE SCOFFS

AVA: Now, you can't be alone for at least the next 24 hours.

Really, I feel fine, Mum. You know that, right?

I assumed you wouldn't mind me letting him in.

Thanks, Mum.

And I assume you'd rather it was him who stayed with you for the next 24.

OK, thanks, Mum.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nothing in your kitchen makes sense.

What you looking for?

Well, at this point, my own sanity.

Oh!

I'm never emptying your dishwasher ever again.

WHISPERS: Are you OK?

What do you mean?

Tom...

You...

You killed someone.

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

It all just happened so quickly, I didn't really...

have chance to think about it. It just...

I'm all right.

Nothing was worse than seeing you lying on his floor.

No, no, no. She's gonna die if you don't hurry!

Just fucking hurry!

THEY CHUCKLE

So, I was close, then, with Marissa Andrei's case?

You couldn't have known it was Shergill.

But if only I'd persevered.

Tom, it's not your fault. I know, but still... still I...

I have to say it out loud because it's still true.

If I had put Shergill away all those years ago,

if I had known it was him who assaulted Marissa Andrei,

then no-one else would have been harmed.

Marissa Andrei didn't wanna pursue her own case.

Like, she told me she didn't even show up to your follow-up meeting.

A victim with no memory of her attacker

who didn't wanna pursue her own case.

It's not your fault.

Yeah.

BANGING ECHOES

Crane, where do you keep your bloody tea towels?

Tea towels. Where are your tea towels?

Good to have you back. Hi.

Morning, Ma'am.

Great to see you, boss. All right, boss?

WALKER: As of this morning,

DC Stevens and DC James are suspended.

They've abused their positions as police officers.

They're being charged with several matters

in relation to sexual assault and gross misconduct.

Now, behaviour such as theirs will not be tolerated.

If anyone is wondering how serious I am about this...

...I invite you to test me.

Do I get a "good morning", even?

Lewis! Hey.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

I was sat there, and I was listening to those guys

going on and on and on about what they did to Kapil.

It... It was awful.

And they wouldn't stop laughing, and I just...

What, you went after them?

Verbally, yes, but not physically.

Oh. No, James and Stevens did that.

And then... everything just went downhill from there.

Are you sure you're all right? Yeah. No, I'm fine.

Really. Mm.

Plus, I'm getting hero treatment at home, so...

Oh! Well, there you go. HE LAUGHS

BOTH LAUGH

Look, I'm so sorry, Emma.

I'm all right.

Plus... it's over now, so...

Well, not entirely.

Kapil's been arrested for planting the mobile

at Tom's grandad's property.

He's in Room 2.

See... I still don't understand why he did that. I do.

I mean, from what I gathered,

when Kapil was in the thick of it here at Wakestead...

...Tom just stood there.

Look, Tom's a really good guy, and...

...now, I know you two are...

But no-one's a good guy all the time.

Anyway, I guess Kapil still carries a grudge.

Hm.

I'll meet you in Room 2, OK? OK. Yeah.

It'll take weeks. What will?

Going through all Shergill's records,

trying to find the original files before he altered everything.

It's a nightmare.

More women have come forward, you know, about what he did to them.

Still trying to get my head around it...

...the fact that it all happened here,

in my own...

Did you mean what you said?

I found the SD card of Sophie's interview, and I turned it over.

Stevens and James will get a custodial sentence,

and none of that behaviour will go on again on my watch.

I'm sorry.

Kapil, can you start by talking us through why you became a detective?

Really? We're doing the slow build? If you don't mind humouring us.

KAPIL SCOFFS Sure.

My older brother was a PC.

Everyone in my family looked up to him.

I was about 13, 14, something like that.

Never wanted to be anything different.

But you became more than just a PC.

You were promoted to Sergeant and then Detective Sergeant.

But never Detective Inspector, right?

Did you find it difficult to advance to DI?

I was skilled enough to advance.

But that's not all that goes into it.

Right?

Can you elaborate on that?

Well, no-one here is a straight white man, so I think we all get it.

Being anything other than that makes things harder.

I never fully fit in,

probably cos I thought most of the lads here were idiots

who could barely do the job.

I think they sensed that,

and so I don't think they particularly liked me either.

Then, one day, I was interviewing a woman.

In this room, actually.

I'd had too much caffeine.

I dropped my notepad on the floor, banged my knee on the table,

fucked up all my questions.

Just, er...

...not my best day, you know?

But the joke afterwards was that I was nervous

because the woman was pretty.

And then the joke became that I was a virgin

waiting for an arranged marriage.

And it built and built.

Three years of it.

What built, precisely? Harassment.

Bullying. Racism. Whatever you wanna call it.

It was their way of getting back at me for looking down on them.

But then it started to affect the cases I got assigned.

You don't trust the fumbling virgin with a big one, do you?

I told you that I left Wakestead because my career stagnated.

That was a half-truth.

It had stagnated, but I left because I had to resign.

What for?

Exposing the identity of a confidential informant,

which I didn't do.

If you didn't do it, then who did?

Shergill.

He altered my paperwork and made it look

like I'd fucked things up when I hadn't.

Right, do you have any proof of this?

Of course I don't, but I know it happened.

Why would Shergill want you to resign? He didn't.

I don't understand.

When I stopped getting good cases,

who else do you think stopped getting good cases?

When I was passed up for promotion to DI,

who else do you think was passed up?

If there's one thing that Tom Radley doesn't like,

it's his career being fucked with, his image being tarnished.

He hated having me next to him.

Shergill altered my paperwork because Tom wanted me gone.

And then I heard about the mobile you guys found on Sophie Madsen.

I knew planting a matching phone on Tom wouldn't get him charged.

But if it put him through a bit of humiliation?

Worth it.

You really think that Tom Radley was behind you having to resign?

Look, I know you like him, and I get it.

He can be charming and all, but he's an ambitious fucker.

That doesn't make him do something...

That he's gonna try and get rid of me any way he could. OK, how?

How would Tom convince Shergill to alter your paperwork?

They weren't even mates.

They hardly even knew each other.

Hey, Emma. I'll have your clothes back to you soon.

Promise it was the hospital that cut them up, not me.

Pete, do you still have Tom Radley's shirt and trousers

from the day of Sophie Madsen's murder?

Sure I do. Why?

I need you to re-run the tests for a new set of DNA.

Whose?

Mine.

BUZZER TRILLS

BUZZER TRILLS

Hello.

I'm in here.

I just remembered that you hate aubergines,

but I think you just hate the skins, and I hope that's right

cos there's a tiny bit of aubergine in here, but it's just the insides.

Mmm.

Probably shouldn't have told you cos I doubt you would have noticed.

You knew about Shergill.

You requested CCTV footage

at the bar where Marissa met him.

HE INHALES SHARPLY

I called the manager.

He remembers giving it to you.

HE EXHALES You knew it was Shergill.

You knew he raped Marissa Andrei.

I mean, you didn't know when you were in the hospital with her,

no, but you... you found out later.

You knew.

You knew!

It's not what you think... It's not what I think?

Is... Is that what you're trying to say to me?!

It's not what I THINK?!

Shergill got Kapil to resign.

For you.

Payback for looking the other way with Marissa.

Tit for tat... right?

You know, tell me,

how did that conversation go with you and Shergill?

Emma, please. No, go on. I wanna know.

I wanna hear it. I'm being serious. Come on.

Was it, "I know that you're a rapist,

"but you're really fucking good with tech, so maybe we can work it out"?

Is that how it went?

No, go on, Tom.

Come on. I wanna hear it. What was the conversation?

I didn't know he'd ever done it before.

Hand to God, I didn't.

I didn't know about Amber Dodds.

I didn't know he'd ever done anything to anyone besides Marissa.

I thought it was her. I thought it was an...

...isolated event.

Fuck you! You know how these guys work, Tom!

He'd been caught!

By me. He was... He was scared.

It's not impossible to imagine he wouldn't have done it again.

I really thought that he wouldn't.

I-I really thought that he wouldn't.

No, you really told yourself that he wouldn't.

That's completely different, Tom.

What was I supposed to do?

Accuse police staff of raping a victim

who wouldn't even make a statement about it?

I mean, there's dead ends, Emma, and then there's dead ends.

I went to that follow-up meeting with Marissa.

I told myself that if she came, I would show her the CCTV.

If she wanted to pursue it, I would.

I swear to you. She didn't even fucking show up!

She... I mean, Christ, these cases are impossible, even...

Look, they are impossible, even if the woman is on board.

But if they're not, it wouldn't...

Look, they... they get dropped.

They all get dropped. The system fails.

Yeah, but this time YOU failed!

YOU failed!

One fucking time, I choose myself over...

Over what? Over what?!

Do you know how many sexual assault cases I've worked?

Domestic violence? Harassment?

They are losing cases, but I worked them.

I put my whole heart into them when no other detective would.

One time, I drop a case. One time.

Because pursuing it would have been a...

...a pointless exercise in morality and because...

...it would have destroyed my career...

...to accuse someone in the department of something like that.

And I was embarrassed.

Kapil was embarrassing.

And he was holding me back.

But every single day since then, I have been a good detective.

I help people. I help women.

I try and put my whole self into doing the right thing

again and again and again.

Until Sophie.

HE EXHALES SOFTLY

Shergill altered your phone records.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

You were in Dankworth Forest that day.

He couldn't let you get caught

because everything would have unravelled for him.

And then the next morning, after her murder,

you were late for work.

You'd bought new clothes.

Ones that matched what you were wearing the day Sophie died.

And then you put them in the wash basket for us to find,

but they couldn't be the same clothes, Tom.

Because I would have been all over them.

VOICE BREAKING: Because we touch.

LAUGHTER, INDISTINCT CHATTER

SHE SIGHS And I'm not on them, Tom.

I'm not on them.

I still don't know how it happened.

Excuse me, Detective Radley. Hiya.

Can I help you? Do you remember me?

I... I ran into you outside the police station,

and you offered to help me? Oh, forgive me.

So many people come in and out. Yeah. Erm, I wanted to talk.

I just heard you speaking at that StreetSafe event.

I'm Sophie. Oh, hi, Sophie.

Well, of course I'll be pleased to help you,

but it's probably best we do that at the station.

No, I don't wanna go to the station.

Can we just drive and talk?

Erm...

Sure. Sure.

Sophie, what you just described to me is an assault.

What those detectives did was assault.

Y-You did nothing to deserve that, all right?

Yeah, I know.

OK, good. Are you sure?

Sometimes, people internalise these things,

and then they end up blaming themselves or...

I know it's not my fault.

OK, good.

Then you're a smart kid.

OK.

Are you telling me this because you'd like to come forward about it?

Because you'd be accusing these two detectives of a lot of things,

but I can help you.

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure.

It's a big deal for a police officer

to accuse another police officer of something like this.

Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.

Thing is, that was really only the beginning.

There's actually a lot more... and something I need to show you.

OK.

SHE EXHALES SOFTLY

Wait, so he messaged you?

Said he would help? Yeah.

And he said he was a police officer?

Yeah, and he knew all kinds of police things, like cases and stuff.

OK. Right, what happened next?

We... We messaged for a bit.

I didn't really know whether I could trust him at first, but then...

No, Sophie, he... His intentions weren't good.

A detective should never message you.

We'd never message you privately.

OK? And you may have felt like you grew to trust him,

but that's grooming.

They can't do that. No.

They can't.

HE SIGHS Right, I will find out who did this.

I already know.

What?

I went to his house.

OK, Sophie, do I need to take you to a hospital?

Or I can get a female colleague to...

No, I'm fine. I got away before anything happened.

He never touched me.

He gave me wine, but I... I only pretended to drink it.

I think there was something in it because I didn't ask for it. OK.

But... at his house, I saw something.

SHE PANTS, CRIES

These were at his house?

Yeah, and there were more of these.

Most of them were, erm, like...

I only took pictures of the faces

so I could try and identify who they were.

So, there are more pictures like this? Yeah, a lot more.

He's a serial rapist, and I can identify him.

What did he look like?

White, tall, curly hair, kind of beard,

and I talked to him face to face, OK?

Trust me, I can identify him.

And I'm going to.

So, do you still have the messages he sent you?

No, not any more.

He said he was a tech guy,

so I was afraid that if I kept my phone,

then he might be able to track me.

I told my parents that I lost it,

but really, I destroyed the SIM card and threw it away.

This is all I could afford.

OK.

So, look, Sophie, there is a lot to consider here.

When you come forward about something like this,

it can be really difficult.

Yeah, but I have evidence.

Yeah, but, this stuff,

this can be created from scratch these days.

They can be doctored. You know, it's very hard to prove.

You said it was the right thing to do.

It is, and I meant that. Yeah, but you said you would help me.

Are you not gonna help me now? I am, actually.

I'm trying to help you here, cos, you see, what happens is...

...when girls come forward about stuff like this...

their name gets dragged through the mud, you know,

and I don't want that happen.

But I didn't do anything wrong. There are gonna be questions here.

There are gonna be really difficult questions like,

this all started with your skating coach, right?

You went to the police cos he touched you?

Yeah.

Where did that happen?

Erm... in his car.

What time?

Night.

Driving home from a competition, he pulled over. And...

And why were you alone in his car at night?

Surely you knew what was gonna happen

when he said, "Let's pull over."

What did you think was gonna happen?

Were you flirting with him?

Fuck you.

Sophie, please!

But if she'd come forward about Shergill,

then everyone would have known what I'd done.

I'd be responsible for everything...

...he'd done.

I was just trying to talk her out of it.

I swear to you, I was just trying to talk to her.

Sophie, wait!

SHE GASPS

HE BREATHES SHAKILY

SHE GASPS SOFTLY

SHE EXHALES

HE INHALES, EXHALES

You parked your car on Barton Drive?

Imprinted your tyre.

Made sure you got caught on the nearby ANPR.

And then you went to the pub.

LAUGHTER, INDISTINCT CHATTER

Yep.

I knew you might figure it out.

I've known this moment might be coming.

I never tried to stop you.

Not really.

What were you looking for in Shergill's home?

All my mobile records,

the ones that showed I was in Dankworth.

He kept all the originals.

Of course there's an original file. I keep all the original files.

But when I was looking for them...

...I found these.

'And then I saw pictures of Amber Dodds.'

I took them out and destroyed them

cos I didn't want anyone to ever find them.

I didn't want you to get in trouble.

I'm responsible for all of it.

Me.

You called an ambulance...

...because you thought that I was dying.

You wanted to save me.

No, no, no, she's gonna die if you don't hurry! Just fucking hurry!

But you also had to find your mobile record.

To save yourself.

SHE INHALES SHARPLY

But who did you try to save first?

You.

Of course you.

SHE SOBS SOFTLY

SHE CRIES

HE SIGHS

Go for it, Crane.

I can't.

I can't. You can.

SHE GROANS SOFTLY

...and 0700 hours, Friday the 11th of September.

SHE EXHALES DEEPLY Hey, you're almost there.

You don't... SHE SIGHS

You do not have to say anything...

...but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention, when questioned,

something that you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say...

SHE SIGHS

...may be given in evidence.
