"Reports are coming in of another shooting

in East London, this time in broad daylight.

It comes just days after the drive-by shooting of 19-year-old

Victoria Summers, who remains in a critical condition in hospital."

The victim is 43-year-old Rev Daniel Matthews. He was shot in the arm,

there's quite a lot of blood. He's gone to hospital in the ambulance.

- Rev Matthews? Really? - Yeah.

The guy's a hero around here. The community love this guy.

He's taken all these kids off the street, given them a second chance.

- Someone doesn't love him. - So, what's happening?

I thought it was a gangland. Fuckin' reverend's been shot.

- For real? - Yeah.

Oh, Jesus, that's all I need.

So we've got no CCTV inside and no CCTV on the outside.

That's a deliberate move by the reverend to develop a sense of trust between the boys.

Some of these kids have had brushes with the police at seven or eight.

Yeah. Maybe his "hug a hoodie" approach has bitten him on the arse this time.

- Hey. - One of the guys said that

just before the reverend got shot,

he saw a white female come in and ask the reverend to go outside.

- They say her name's Kelly Pearce. - That's interesting.

Maybe someone else sent her in to pull him outside, you know?

Apparently she's going out with the reverend's son, Aaron.

- I mean if she did, it'd be... - What's the son called?

- Aaron, yeah. - OK.

- Aaron Matthews? - Yeah.

Hi. DC Charlotte Steele.

- I'm one of the officers investigating... - Sorry.

Is my dad going to be OK? How is he?

He's... fine. I just went and spoke to a doctor.

I was told he was hit in the fleshy part of arm,

so there's a lot of blood, but it could've been...

- I'm sorry. - And it could've been much, much worse.

He's in surgery now, they'll patch him up and he should make a pretty swift recovery.

Your girlfriend Kelly was at the boxing club this morning. Why was that?

I drove Kelly there this morning.

She wanted to speak to my dad, I don't know what about.

You'd driven her?

I parked round the back and waited for her to come out.

- She was only gone a couple of minutes. - You didn't go inside?

- No. - OK.

Reverend Daniel Matthews, founder of Kirkley Way Boxing Gym...

where he was shot this morning. This is the alleyway leading off the front door.

Front door where the shooting took place. Timeline wise,

the boxers take a break on the dot every morning at 11:30am.

They said just as they broke,

they saw Kelly Pearce arrive to talk to Daniel.

And then local residents said they heard a gunshot at 11:40,

- so we've got a ten-minute cut-off. - Ten-minute window for Kelly Pearce,

if she did it to shoot our reverend.

So Kelly went in, had a chat with your dad about something, you don't know what,

- then she came back... - Yeah, she came back

after about five minutes, then we went for a drive.

- Where did you go? - Um, I pulled up by the canal.

- OK. - She was in a bit of a funny mood,

so she said she needed to clear her head.

- So she went for a walk down the canal. - What does "funny mood" mean?

Um... Well, you know, just kind of argumentative.

She gets a bit that way sometimes.

Just a little bit, you know, I don't know, in a funny mood.

- OK. Do you know where she is now? - No, I haven't heard from her since.

Police! Open up.

How are you doing? I'm DS Jack Weston. Who am I talking to?

Alma.

- Alma what? - Alma Pearce.

- Are you Kelly Pearce's mother? - Yes.

- Yes. Is Kelly at home? - I don't think so.

I've got a warrant to search your home. We're looking for a firearm. Step aside.

Anyone else in the house I need to know about?

My son.

Yeah. Sit down. Can I get you a glass of water or anything?

- Are you on any medication? - No, just diazepam.

OK, how many have you taken? Do I need to get you an ambulance?

- No. - Are you sure?

- Yes. - OK.

OK, just have a very quick read of this so you understand what's happening.

- Anything? - Nothing, sir.

- No? - I'll check upstairs.

Hi, Sammy. Sammy, I'm looking for your sister Kelly.

Do you have any idea where she is?

Sammy, can you answer me?

Just say yes or no.

Have you any idea where you sister Kelly is?

No.

Kelly Pearce's flat, clean as a whistle.

SOCOs have found a shell casing from inside the boxing club.

We should be able to figure out, looking at the shell casing,

whether the firearm used to shoot

Rev Daniel Matthews was used in any other crime.

I fed Daniel's address into the computer.

There was a report of a disturbance earlier at the vicarage.

A neighbour rang in and said a young man was kicking the door and shouting,

there was a bit of back and forth between him and the reverend.

She took the car registration... and it is registered to...

- Joseph Brookes. - A local gang member,

a series of drug convictions...

and also a main suspect for the Victoria Summers drive-by shooting two days ago.

When we spoke to Rev Matthews last week,

as just someone who was in the vicinity of the drive-by shooting,

he said he didn't see anything,

he didn't know anything about it, now this man, our prime suspect,

turns up banging and shouting outside his door.

Exactly. So, let's deal with something concrete.

Let's pull him in on a Public Order Offence, OK?

So, at 10:30 this morning, Joseph, you were seen banging on the door of

the vicarage where the Rev Matthews lives. Why were you there?

My friend lives there, innit? I was looking for Aaron.

The way I play it, you were having an argument with the reverend.

- Argument? - Yeah.

Pfft, tell me where you got that from?

As far as a domestic disturbance, that's a pretty big barney.

That's... bullshit.

I was there, not for Aaron, he wasn't in,

I had a word with the dad, innit? It's nothing major.

- Do you get on with his dad? - Yeah, his dad's a cool guy.

Come on. He taught me my right hook and everything.

- I've got a good right hook, you know? - Huh, sure you do.

Thank you. Rev Matthews?

- Hello, I'm Martha Bellamy, - Yes.

Detective Inspector.

We met some years ago. Are you all right to shake hands?

- I am. - You're OK with that hand?

- Oh dear, how are feeling? - I'm fine, given the circumstances.

I want to run through a couple of things, if that's OK?

- Aaron, can you just give us a minute? - Sure.

This is your boy?

- Son Aaron. - OK.

Are you gonna talk me through what happened?

Er, yes.

We were training this morning.

It was a normal training session, we broke at around 11:30.

Um, Kelly, one of the younger boxers, came in to speak to me.

- Kelly? Kelly who? - Kelly Pearce.

OK.

She came in to speak to me.

Basically she came to tell me she no longer wanted to train.

She's actually been spending a lot of time with Aaron,

but I told her I was disappointed, she's quite a good prospect,

so we had a conversation. She left.

I stayed outside to have a cigarette before going back in.

And I hear a car coming past, driving faster than normal,

enough to make me turn round. The next thing I know,

I hear a bang... or I felt a bang.

I came round, I was lying on the floor, I'd been shot.

Right. And how long after Kelly left did this happen?

About 15 minutes.

- Might she have shot you? - No.

Not under any circumstances, no. I don't think it was Kelly.

OK.

I believe this morning, cast your mind back, at the vicarage,

I believe that there was a visitor, Joseph Brookes?

It's just that I was led to believe there was a row,

some kind of disturbance was reported?

We did have a conversation, it was about his car.

He's got a very noisy car. Some of the neighbours had complained about it.

I just asked him to be mindful when he was driving around the area.

Joseph Brookes is tucked up safe and sound at the station.

Right.

- Do you understand what I'm saying? - Absolutely I do,

but unfortunately there's nothing I can tell you about him.

- How did it go? - Er, well, he was polite but vague.

- Yeah? - He claimed it's a drive-by.

Really?

I just had Forensics on the phone.

They said they can't find any tyre marks anywhere on the road. OK?

Plus the fact that shell casing was found just outside the front door of the club.

It's not as if it was found, like, in the middle of the road.

So it seems maybe the reverend was shot at a much closer range

than he's letting on... or can remember.

Maybe he's memory's gone, or maybe he's lying?

Yeah. He's also somewhat reticent

to talk about the conversation... slash... row that he had with...

Come in. ...with Joseph Brookes, too.

Kelly Pearce has just walked in. She's downstairs.

Oh, I wish they'd all just walk in.

- Right, well, let's show the facilities. - Excellent.

Kelly, why did you go and visit the reverend

- only this morning? - I was angry at him.

A straightforward question. Did you shoot Reverend Matthews?

What?

Did you shoot the reverend?

I've come here to make a statement about him, to put him in prison.

He raped my brother.

- That's a very serious allegation, Kelly. - Yes.

My brother wouldn't lie.

That's quite an allegation. And if it's true, it is certainly a motive

for someone like Kelly to shoot the reverend.

Yeah, but if Aaron and Kelly's statement are to be believed,

then Kelly has an alibi,

- right, at the time of the shooting? - Yeah.

Belt and braces, you update Jack and get onto the Child Protection team.

I want that kid to have a full exam. OK?

And what did the reverend say in response to the allegation?

What do you think he fucking said?

I've no idea.

"No, I didn't do it. What are you talking about?"

It was the usual thing that people respond to

- when they're being accused of something. - Tell me exactly what you said to him.

I was really angry at him. I started shouting,

and I said to him that I know what you did

- and I'm gonna tell the police. - And so who told you...

- ...about Sammy... about Sammy's abuse? - Aaron.

Aaron told me what Sammy said. I found him at home

trying to take some of my mum's drugs.

This is behaviour that's unlike him. He wouldn't do things like that.

I was asking him what he was doing. He was trying to kill himself.

So obviously something's definitely wrong.

- And what... - And then I ask him,

and he doesn't respond. He doesn't tell me anything,

and I thought the only way I can get any information out of him is through Aaron.

They're really good friends, he's like a brother for him.

His behaviour since he came back from his trip

- has just changed who he is. - Back from which trip?

They went on a trip, like the boxing team,

the Rev Daniel took them. It happened that night in his tent.

It's Child Protection just through with the report.

Poor Samuel's not saying anything,

but the initial examination suggested he's been raped.

Child Protection are asking whether we can figure out

what Samuel was actually wearing last night.

- OK. - OK, I'll get onto the search team.

I do need to go over a few other details

concerning the shooting this morning.

Um, Kelly, how did you get to the club?

- Aaron drove me in his car. - And Aaron knew why you were going,

- what you were gonna talk about? - Of course he knew, yeah.

- And then you went off on your own? - Yeah.

Aaron dropped me. He, I don't know,

went to his mate's house or something.

Probably drove off somewhere.

- Right. A mate like Joseph Brookes? - Hmph. Possibly.

Is he a friend of Aaron and yours?

He's a friend of Aaron's, not a friend of mine.

Aaron worships the ground he walks on.

He's so obsessed with him.

- What do you think of him? - He's a dick, that's what I think of him.

What were you doing between 11 and 12:30 today?

Well,

my girlfriend Libby bent over the side of the bed at about 11:15.

So if I call her and ask her, she'll tell me exactly the same thing?

What was that, sorry? "Bent over the side of..."

- She will say exactly the same thing? - Exactly the same thing.

Right.

Good. Thank you.

Thanks. Cheers. Bye-bye.

OK, Uniform has searched Joseph Brookes' car and his house.

- They've seen nothing. - Obviously.

They're not stupid enough to leave a gun lying around.

I spoke to his girlfriend, Libby James, who,

surprise, surprise, corroborates his alibi.

He was with her when the shooting took place.

- Hmph. - Which is bullshit.

He used the same alibi for the Victoria Summers drive-by shooting.

There is no sign of the firearm at Libby's place.

Aaron. Do you mind if we come in?

Your girlfriend Kelly has made a very, very serious allegation

of sexual abuse against your father.

So it's Kelly who's said all this?

- She said Sammy told you about it. - Kelly said my father abused Sammy?

This makes a lot more sense now.

- Does it? - Yeah.

Yeah, Kelly doesn't really behave in a normal way.

She's, um... She's...

She finds life difficult, to put it bluntly, you know?

She's come from a dysfunctional family, she's really struggled.

She's never been this bad before.

She's never said anything quite like this,

but she's desperate to get at me, that's what it is.

Why's that?

We broke up this morning.

That's the only reason I can think she'd wanna really hurt me.

It is the best thing she can think of. Blame his reverend dad

- for being a paedophile, you know? - Did you speak to Sammy this morning?

Yeah, I spoke to Sammy this morning. We didn't really say much.

OK, listen, Sammy's been seen by the doctors.

They're convinced he was sexually abused. But they think the abuse

happened on a camping trip

- that Sammy was on with your dad. - Yeah, well,

that explains the ludicrously of Kelly's story.

I was with him the whole weekend. I know for a fact my dad, the first night,

was looking after a really sick kid. Dad went to the hospital with him.

And I think the kid's parents met him there.

They were there the whole night. There was obviously a big queue.

Where did everyone sleep? Did all the boys sleep together

or were they in twos in tents?

The boys all sleep in a dorm together and I slept with my dad in a tent.

So I was with my dad the whole time, the whole weekend.

Except when he was at the hospital, of course.

Aaron, that's great.

- Sorry we had to drop that on you. - I understand.

Aaron has given us a statement, and it's nothing like yours.

- What? - I mean it's different.

- He knows nothing about the allegations. - What?

- Against his father? - Fuckin' right.

Ohh, my God.

So we'll say again, Kelly, now is the time, if you want...

He's the liar.

No, I'm not reconsidering. I'm not doing any of that.

I'm not reconsidering my story. My story sticks and I'm telling the truth.

- He's lying. - Why would he do that?

He doesn't want his dad's reputation in the community to be destroyed over this,

so that's why he would lie. Fuckin' do the maths yourself.

So we've got Sammy's clothes, they were found in the bins outside their flat.

But they're really, yeah, really badly burned.

That and a couple more pieces are pretty much all that's left.

I've sent that off to Forensics.

Look. They're hardly gonna get anything from that.

Why's he burning his clothes?

Boss, clothes found. Sent off to Forensics.

Also, Child Protection have said that, independently of each other,

Sammy and Alma have both confirmed that at the time of the shooting

of the reverend, they were at home together.

All right.

I want you guys to go down to the hospital,

talk to the reverend about why he's insisting

that this is a drive-by when clearly it isn't. OK?

All right.

Do you want us to say anything about the abuse?

You know what? Nothing direct, Jack. Leave it with Child Protection

for the time being. They're talking to Sammy.

Listen, we were just wondering if we could ask you some questions?

Have you been able to remember anything?

Any more details about the shooting, before and after?

Nothing more than I've already told your colleague.

OK.

- You said it was a drive-by shooting? - That's right.

Do you remember any details about the car, what colour it was?

Er... Blue, I think. Possibly. Maybe green?

I don't know, I don't know.

We'd love to have a look at your mobile phone if we could,

just to kind of trace previous calls?

Sorry, that's not really... Sorry.

- No? - No.

- No, you can't. - Why not?

Because I don't want you to. I'm very tired,

I think I would like to be left alone, if that's OK?

OK.

Would you run me through just, sort of,

who said what to who this morning?

Um...

Kelly... Kelly woke up and told me what Sammy had said.

- And did you go and speak to Sammy? - I tried to, but...

he was in state, he wouldn't talk to me.

So between then and when my colleagues came round,

um, what did you do?

Um... I stayed in the flat with Sammy.

Did you try to talk to him some more, did you call anyone,

- or try and take him somewhere? - Er... No, I was upset,

so I just took some sleeping pills.

I tried to talk to him again but... he wouldn't talk to me.

Alma, do you think Reverend Matthews is responsible for Sammy's abuse?

I don't know him really well,

but he did insist that Sammy go on a camping trip with him.

And when I said I can't afford it, he said he's gonna pay for it

from the boxing club subs.

OK.

He said he was gonna look after him.

- Jack. - Yeah?

Given what Alma said about the camping trip,

I asked FIU to run off the reverend's financials.

And he didn't pay for Sammy Pearce's place out of the boxing subs,

he paid for it out of his own account.

So either he's a very nice man, or he really wanted Sammy to be there

so he could...

Yeah, it's OK, you don't have to finish that sentence.

The reverend's been discharged from hospital.

So what do we do now?

We're gonna play it by the book, I don't wanna

go too soon on the sexual abuse allegation.

- So let's get him in for a chat, OK? - Yep.

It's often helpful for me to go a little bit further back.

Right.

So I'm kinda thinking maybe kind of around the weekend.

- Mm-hm. - We know you were on

- some sort of camping trip. - Yes.

- Yes, it's an annual... - A group of schoolchildren?

Yeah, a young group, yes, yes.

- Ages, roughly? - Er... Eight to 15.

- Yeah, it's an annual camp trip. - OK.

- Did anything happen on the camping trip? - No.

That was slightly out of ordinary, slightly untoward?

Nothing untoward.

A boy was taken ill.

I spent most of the first night with him. In the morning

he'd made no improvement so we decided to take him to hospital.

And they admitted him... and I spent the following day there with him,

waiting for his parents to come.

And when they did I came back to the camp.

- You came back to the campsite? - Yes. Yes, early morning.

Kind of two, one o'clock.

- You didn't stay the night? - No, I went back to the camp.

OK, because we spoke to Aaron, your son...

Right.

And he said that you did stay out all night at the hospital.

No. No, no, as I say, it was between one and two, but closer to one.

- I came back, Aaron was asleep. - OK. Great.

- Do you mind if I go for a very quick wee? - No, no.

I'll be two seconds.

He's saying, on the night of the assault, he left the hospital,

got back to the campsite around one, spent the night there.

Aaron is saying his dad didn't go back to the campsite,

spent the night at the hospital.

I can't track down the sick child's parents to figure out who's lying.

I spoke to Aaron.

I've just been down to TIU. They've been over Kelly's phone,

and Aaron left her a voicemail this morning.

Oh, yeah?

"Kelly, it's me. Please, please

don't speak to the police before you speak to me.

It's really important you speak to me first. All right, I love you. Bye."

That does not sound like someone who's broken up with their girlfriend.

He's covering up for his dad. OK, gloves off. Green light. Go for it, Jack.

Daniel, a very serious allegation has been made against you.

Right.

OK, the allegation is that you sexually abused,

you raped

a 12-year-old boy on the camping trip last week.

That's nonsense.

- Is it? - Yes, it's nonsense.

Nevertheless, the allegation has been made. I need to fully investigate the allegation.

I am not satisfied with what you've told me, therefore

- I'm arresting you for the rape... - This is nonsense.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence

if you fail to mention something

you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

Do you understand?

- Daniel, do you understand? - Yes.

The report is back. The gun used to shoot Rev Matthews is the same gun that was used

in the Victoria Summers drive-by shooting.

I'll see you upstairs in two seconds. Great.

OK.

I have been looking through Aaron's call data.

Now, in the week since Victoria Summer's drive-by shooting

there have been loads of calls from Joseph Brookes to Aaron,

although most of the ones in the last two days have been rejected.

I also had another look over Miss Summer's witness statement. The car she described

as the one that was used in the shooting matches Aaron Matthews' car.

OK, it's Aaron's car.

Let's arrest him. I'm gonna push Joseph.

- OK. Can you drive? - Yep.

Don't waste my time, young man.

Why have you been calling your mate Aaron?

No comment.

You've been calling him a lot, haven't you?

I don't call my best friend as much as that.

You must have something you really want to talk about.

No... comment.

Is that what you wanted to tell him, that you've got no comment?

There he is, that's Aaron. OK, move over, move over.

OK. Stop the car.

OK, all right.

Aaron, stay where you are.

- Aaron? - Oh, fuck.

OK.

OK. Aaron Matthews, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of the attempted murder of Victoria Summers.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence

if you fail to mention the questions that may later arise in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence. Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yeah.

OK.

Ohh.

Aaron and Joseph's fingerprints are all over the car,

but we've also got firearm residue

over the front, particularly in the driver's side.

Good. That's concrete. That links this car

to the drive-by shooting a week ago.

Yes. Joseph Brookes was travelling in the passenger side,

we've got his fingerprints on the handle, dashboard and this side.

So then it's probably safe to say that Aaron, driving, is the shooter.

This is where you stand.

We know that your car was involved in the drive-by shooting

that seriously wounded Victoria Summers.

We know that whoever was driving

- pulled the trigger. - I didn't...

There's gunshot residue all over the driver's side.

I didn't pull the trigger.

How do you explain...

- It was Joseph. - Sorry?

He was in the passenger seat.

We went for a drive and he leaned across me.

Across you?

He leaned across me and shot her. Look, I had no idea

he was gonna do what he did. I'd never have gone for a drive with him

if he was gonna do that.

What's the story with you and Joseph?

I just wanted to be a part of his gang, that was all.

I was trying to impress him, I don't know.

What happened when Joseph came round your house this morning?

He came round to threaten Dad.

Dad saw us in the car on the day of the shooting.

Dad knew what had happened.

My dad confronted me about it and he said, "If you don't go to the police, I will."

I told Joseph and he went round to threaten my dad.

If he said anything, he said he'd kill him.

Did Joseph Brookes shoot your father this morning?

It's possible, yeah.

It'd like to make it clear, at this point, that I'm not here to discuss

the case and the allegations concerning Samuel Pearce.

Right.

I do, however, know that your son was driving the car

during the shooting incident last week with Victoria Summers.

Yes, yes, he was.

- You were aware of that? - I was aware of it, yes.

Um... He... He was dragged into the situation, he drove the car,

I believe unwittingly,

he didn't shoot anybody, he just drove the car.

Who did fire the gun?

Joseph Brookes.

I had hoped that Aaron was going to... own up

to his involvement in the situation.

- Is that why you didn't tell the police? - Yes.

Yes.

Are you willing to make a statement to that effect, Reverend?

Yes.

OK.

Well, it begs the question,

was Joseph Brookes the person that shot you, Reverend?

No.

You seemed so sure that you hadn't seen the face of your attacker,

and yet you just seemed so sure that it wasn't Joseph Brookes.

Who are you covering for?

- What happened to the gun? - I took it round to Kelly's mum's flat.

Kelly's mum let me hide it there in return for diazepam tablets.

So you're a drug dealer now?

No. My dad used to have some for his bad back. I just took those.

How did Kelly feel about you keeping a gun at the flat?

- She doesn't know. She has no idea. - OK.

- Where's the gun now? - Still there, in the airing cupboard.

Don't fuckin' lie to me.

- Don't waste my time. - It's there.

I'm trying to figure out who shot your dad. Where's the gun?

I put it in the airing cupboard, I haven't touched it.

I searched that place myself. OK?

There's no gun in there, OK? I'll tell you why there's no gun in there.

Because someone has taken the gun and used it,

the same gun that was used to shoot Victoria Summers,

someone used it to shoot your dad.

Did Aaron hide a gun in your house?

Alma?

- Alma? - Yes.

- Is it still there? - Yeah. Yeah.

It's in my airing cupboard.

Right. I'm afraid, Alma, I'm gonna have to arrest you

for possession of a firearm.

You don't have to say anything that may harm your defence.

If you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court,

and anything you do say may be given as evidence. Do you understand?

- I just did... - Do you understand?

Yes.

I've double-checked with the search team. There's no gun at Alma and Sammy's place.

I could've told you that. I went through the place with a fine-toothcomb.

Yeah.

Listen, we know the same gun was used for both shootings.

OK, and for me that points the limelight back at Joseph Brookes.

What's to say he didn't call over to Alma's house, take the gun himself?

She's claiming she didn't know him, but he's a threatening guy.

He could have easily intimidated her into silence.

Mm.

What about Kelly and her allegation?

She's got a strong motive for wanting to shoot the reverend,

plus we know the gun was in her house.

She could've found it easily.

But she's not the only one who lives there.

But Sammy and Alma have alibied each other.

Listen, Kelly's is the only statement that references our reverend

in the sexual abuse case.

I can't keep him in. We don't have enough evidence, guys.

You've gotta let him go, Jack, all right? Tsk.

Boss? Joseph Brookes' alibi, I knew it was bullshit, I can now prove it's bullshit.

His girlfriend, Libby James, was at the boxing club this morning with her son.

Her name was on our list of witnesses.

- Great. - All right, well,

let's give Joseph Brookes a chance to clarify his statement, shall we?

- It would be my pleasure. - Yeah.

So I know your alibi's rubbish, you know your alibi's rubbish.

You two have spoken about the fact your alibi's rubbish. Talk to me.

- OK, I wasn't at my girlfriend's house. - I know that.

I know that, Joseph. Where were you?

- Jordan Crescent, number 24. - Is that where you live?

- No. - So what were you doing there?

- I was doing a burglary. - You "was doing a burglary"?

Charming.

Yeah, I'm not proud of it. I didn't need to do it.

Right.

I'm checking that out. You'll be going back to your cell.

Happy days. Thank you.

Jason Brookes couldn't have shot the reverend.

The property he said he was in this morning was burgled

at the same time as the reverend was shot,

plus Uniform have picked up the stolen property exactly where

he said it would be, with his fingerprints all over it, so Joseph didn't shoot Daniel.

Oh, Jesus.

Who the bloody hell did?

In Victoria Summers' statement, she said that her shooter, her attacker,

wore this type of dark bomber jacket.

This particular jacket was recovered by the search team

from Joseph Brookes' mother's address.

So Joseph's DNA all over it, there's gunshot residue all over it

that surely proves that Joseph Brookes shot Victoria Summers.

- Weston, really? - Boss? Boss?

OK, hang on. Thank you.

Uniform said they've found a weapon.

They found the gun in that bin,

then our guys have lifted a really good footprint from down there.

Kelly's?

Could be. Maybe she did sneak back and shoot the reverend.

The firearm is with the lab. They're running fingermark analysis.

Hopefully, when that comes back,

- it'll tell us something, anything. - It may well tell us nothing.

It was probably wiped. Joseph Brookes almost certainly wore gloves.

The question still remains. Who shot Reverend Matthews?

So we've got some CCTV that puts a whole new spin on our case.

- OK, note the time. Jack. - 11:40.

- The time when the reverend was shot. - Indeed.

And here we have Aaron's car, Aaron and Kelly.

Wow.

So, first of all, that means he wasn't lying when he gave her an alibi.

Secondly, she can't have shot the reverend.

Fingermark analysis on the gun is back. They've got a positive match.

Don't keep me waiting. Who is it?

Have you seen that gun before?

Your prints are all over this, Alma.

Yes.

Have you seen it?

Have you ever used that gun?

I just wanted to scare him.

He raped my son.

He raped my son.

- And I just shot. - What did you do then?

Put the gun in the bin

and went home and I took my pills.

Did he see your face? Did he see who was firing the gun at him?

Yeah.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, he saw me.

I mean we're not quite at the popping the champagne cork stage

- of the case, do you know what I mean? - Yeah.

- My God, we're close, Charlie. - Boss?

Those parents of the sick child at the hospital got in touch.

They said, 100 percent, Daniel spent the night at the hospital.

He didn't spend it at the campsite.

The truth exonerates him. He couldn't have raped Sammy, but why's he lying?

The same reason he lied about the Victoria Summers shooting.

He doesn't want us to know Aaron

had a chance to be alone with Sammy at the campsite.

OK, bring in the reverend

on what we have, which is aiding and abetting, OK?

I'm arresting you for aiding and abetting. You don't have to say anything.

It may harm your defence

if you say something later used in court. Anything you do say

- may be used in evidence. Understand? - Yes.

I've told you everything.

- You can cover for your paedophile son? - No.

Taking your reverend for a chat.

- I'm ashamed of nothing. - Why were you breaking this up?

Tech have been through Aaron's laptop.

There's a whole file full of images and photographs of children.

It seems he was taking pictures of the kids

in the showers at the boxing club.

Thanks, Charlie.

To be honest, I think the reverend knew exactly what his little boy was up to,

and for some time, too. Otherwise why would he try to knacker that laptop?

Why has your dad refused to tell us,

point-blank refused to tell us, who shot him?

Perhaps he doesn't know. I mean the only person I can think who

actually would wanna do it is maybe

somebody who heard the allegations that were going round?

I mean Kelly was telling so many people about it,

word got round maybe and that's why they shot him.

Right.

And you said that there's all these allegations around that your dad

was a paedophile, but in fact it was you who told Kelly

that your dad was a paedophile, didn't you?

- No, I never said that. - According to Kelly you did.

Yeah, I told you about Kelly.

According to Kelly, Sammy told you that he was abused,

- sexually abused, by your dad. - I've never said that.

I've never said my dad was a paedophile.

- Why did she say that, then? - I've no idea.

Was it anything to do with, um...

...to do with this?

I've placed the laptop on the table.

Who owns the laptop?

Who owns the laptop?

It's my laptop.

- Yeah? - Hm.

OK.

Do you wanna know what we found in it?

You haven't seen this before, so I apologise for shocking you this way.

I know you're not gonna be shocked because I know you've seen these countless times.

These are images, images of naked eight-year-old boys

taken from the boxing club. OK?

Do you wanna know how they got on your laptop?

Tell us about the photos, Aaron?

You need to explain this to us, my friend.

My dad caught me

taking pictures of the boys in the shower at the gym.

I said it'll never happen again.

I really hoped it wouldn't happen again.

Did it happen again?

I just couldn't help it.

It wasn't my fault, I just couldn't help it.

- You couldn't help taking those pictures? - Yeah. I just couldn't...

And looking at them?

Then acting on them. What happened on the camping trip?

Your dad was at the hospital, we know he wasn't there. You tell us.

Did you rape Samuel Pearce?

Samuel went to sleep in my tent.

He'd had a nightmare.

That's what happens with Sammy, he gets...

No, no, no.

No, no, stop there. Did you rape Samuel Pearce?

I didn't... I just couldn't help it.

I couldn't do anything about it.

So you did sexually abuse Samuel Pearce?

What happened, it just happened.

- It... - Aaron, Aaron?

You're not doing yourself any favours here

by trying to come across as the meek,

weak, guilty individual. Answer the question.

Did you rape Samuel Pearce, just yes or no?

- Yes or no, yes or no... - I couldn't help it.

Yes or no?

Yes.

Just tell me one thing. Why did you... Why did you say

that your dad was a paedophile?

How did that get you off the hook, out of interest?

He knew I was driving the car when Joseph shot Victoria Summers.

He was onto me about it. He gave me an ultimatum.

He said, "If you don't tell the police, I'm going to the police."

I thought... I thought maybe if I made something up about him,

if I made a story up, he'd forget about it

and that'd take his mind off it.

How can you live with yourself?

All that shit about "I couldn't help myself, I tried really, really hard,"

I thought I was gonna puke.

- It doesn't get any easier. - I just spoke to Child Protection.

Now Aaron's been arrested, Sammy told them

that Aaron threatened to kill Alma and Kelly

if he said anything. He's just absolutely terrified.

It was Aaron who told him to burn all his clothes.

Pfft!

- Another great day in the office. - Yeah, right.

Why did you lie?

I was trying to help my son. I didn't know what my son had done.

I knew he'd done something, I wasn't aware...

That's bullshit, otherwise you would've told us that it was Alma that shot you.

The reason you didn't tell us it was Alma is because she is the mother

of the young, innocent boy who was raped

by your son, by your flesh and blood. That's why you didn't tell us.

- I was just trying to help him. - You should be bloody ashamed of yourself.

- I am ashamed of myself. - Really?

Really, I am deeply ashamed of myself.

I am deeply ashamed of my son

and the pain and hurt that he has caused.

I thought this was a situation that would go away,

I tried to address it in the best way that I could,

- and I obviously failed. - I think you're a disgrace,

not only to your community but to your religion at large.

OK, you're already under arrest for aiding and abetting a sexual offender.

I am now arresting you for perverting the course of justice.

Again, you do not have to say anything,

though it may harm your defence if you fail to mention, when questioned,

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used against you. Understand?

Yes.

I think we're done.

- Kelly, there's been some changes. - What kind of changes?

We have had a confession from...

Aaron Matthews.

- Saying what? - Confessing to...

...abusing your brother Sammy.

That's fuckin' bullshit. I can't believe you're actually telling me

that you believe that my boyfriend would do that? Are you serious?

Kelly, Sammy has said that he was just very scared and...

Sammy has said that?

- Sammy felt he couldn't... - I don't know.

...tell the truth and he was a scared little boy. It's often the way.

No. No, no, no, no. That's... No. That...

No...

I wanna make sure that you see your family

and we will make provisions for your release.

We interviewed Aaron Matthews.

He has... confessed to the sexual abuse of your son.

Sammy said it's... it's Daniel.

Well, it's come out that Sammy was scared, he was threatened,

and he felt unable to talk about this, Alma.

I shot the wrong man.

The worst part of it is, is that if Rev Matthews had reported his son,

Aaron, for taking those images of the boxing club kids,

then Aaron probably wouldn't have gone on to rape Sammy.

They say parents would do anything for their kids, right?

Do you know, I think that's bullshit, actually.

I think that the reverend was just looking out for his own reputation.

I don't think he gave a damn about his son, I really don't.

Now, can we fuel the rumour that I'm an alcoholic?

Could somebody buy me a fucking drink?

I think Jack started that rumour.

Come on, I need drinking buddies. Come on.

Bessie Walker, 65, widow. Ambulance called just before noon

from a telephone box in Wadsworth Street.

That moped is licensed to a Mario Baber.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of GBH and a burglary this morning

at Suttonfields Estate.

I pop round to see her every so often. I look out for her, make sure she's OK.

Betty had £10,000 in cash in a locked room... and it's all gone.

- Am I under arrest? - Not yet.

I'm not under arrest though, am I?! I'm not under arrest.

See you later.

When was the last time that you saw your mum?

What, you think I went round there and smashed my mum in?

Mark, why did you go to prison?

Burglary.

We called down before. Thank you.

- Jack, Jack, Jack? - Yep.
