Urgent call
for the duty inspector.

D.I. Denton.

WOMAN:
D.S. Jayne Akers calling

with request
for urgent assistance --

immediate and credible threat
to life.

We need gold to sign off.

Chief super´s gone home.

Well, then, call him at home.

MAN: This is
Chief Superintendent Mallick.

Please leave your name
and number,

and I will get back to you.

[ Beeps ]

Not picking up
his mobile either.

Really ought to give him
another five minutes.

Ma´am.

[ Sighs ]

There she goes.

[ Line ringing ]

Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

Sir, this is
D.I. Lindsay Denton.

Yes, Linda.
How can I help you?

Sir, I need gold approval
for an op.

Are we allowed to know
where we´re going?

Suspect in
a missing-persons inquiry.

Need to get him in
for questioning.

-No, my car.
-What?

Just come on.

Come on!

[ Siren wails ]

D.S. Akers.
Thanks for stepping in, ma´am.

I need a safe
and available destination ASAP.

Straight into town?

I´d take the back roads.

You lead.

Have your men in my car,
engine running, ready to go.

Yeah, I´m gonna take
the rest of your team.

-It´s just me.
-What?

Ma´am.

Please.

Okay.

Keep the radio
in the car on channel 1.

Personal radios
back-to-back on 2.

Who´s in the house?

I don´t know.
Just move, please.

Wallis to Denton.
It´s straight on here, ma´am.

Yeah, I know the way
to my own station.

-[ Tires screech ]
-Aah!

No!

[ Breathing heavily ]

No!

[ Screams ]

[ Gasping ]

Charlie Mike two-five,
status zero.

Status zero.
Long Lane and Crown Avenue.

MAN: Charlie Mike two-five,
confirm message.

Status zero! Status zero!

[ Gasps ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Telephone rings,
monitors beeping ]

MAN:
Two breaths, please.

[ Alarm rings ]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10...

How are you, Lindsay?

MAN:
Two more, please.

MALLICK:
Anything I can get you?

No, thanks.

Up to answering
a couple of questions?

I´m just trying to
get my head around

what happened out there, sir.

MAN:
Two more breaths, please.

But no one seems to know
what you were up to.

I´m not sure I do, either.

Wallis and Butler are dead.

The other two...

WOMAN: Let´s have
the next shot ready.

...they´re still trying
to save.

Who are they?

I´m not clear yet
on whether that´s something

I should be divulging, sir.

[ Sniffles ]

WOMAN:
One more time.

It´d help to know.

I got your messages.

Instead of dropping me in it,

if you´d given me
a minute to get back to you...

I gave you
more than a minute.

MAN:
Two more breaths, please.

I gave you 20.

MAN:
...5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12...

Two breaths, please.

[ Machine buzzing ]

...5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

Two more breaths, please.

WOMAN: No.
I´m calling it.

Asystolic.

Pulseless for 20 minutes.

Everyone okay with that?

-Okay.
-CPR discontinued at 23:12.

[ Helicopter blades whirring ]

Everybody!

Evidence recovery´s ongoing,
so, guys,

please respect the limits
of the cordon at all times.

Our forensic scene investigators
have work lights.

Talk to me
if you need any lighting changes

MAN:
This way, sir.

[ Indistinct chatter
on police radio ]

...armed and dangerous.

Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

There´s been
an attack on the police.

Three of our colleagues
have lost their lives

in the line of duty.

Our first thoughts
are with their families.

But now the hunt begins

for the people who committed
this brutal crime.

Fifth floor.

This way.

Doors closing.

-Sir.
-As you were.

[ Monitors beeping ]

The transit convoy
was ambushed.

The two 4th Street officers
shot dead.

The vehicle was set alight,
and the witness and the handler

suffered critical burns
and gunshot wounds.

The handler was pronounced dead
on arrival at the hospital.

We´ve been assigned to
investigate the possibility

that a police officer
or officers tipped somebody off.

Who is he?

Classified.
He was under witness protection.

New identity, relocation,
the works.

And how is he, sir --
the witness?

Critical but stable.

Can I ask you a question?

Depends on the question.

Critical but stable.
what does that mean exactly?

Well, he´s been lucky.
His chances are good.

He doesn´t look very lucky.

HASTINGS:
I´ll set up an alert.

As soon as he comes ´round,
we´ll be banging on his door.

-Thank you.
-Sir.

He said it was a convoy.
Who was in the other vehicles?

Just one vehicle.

It was driven by our only
survivor, D.I. Lindsay Denton.

When can we talk to her?

I´m chasing.
But she´s in counseling.

Are we allowed to know the names
of the deceased officers?

From 4th Street Station,

Sergeant Alex Wallis,

P.C. Vincent Butler,

and the third victim´s name is
being withheld from the public

because she was
from witness protection --

D.S. Jayne Akers.

Sorry, sir.
I´ll be down in five.

HASTINGS: Sure.

You got a minute, sir?

See you back at the office.

This one´s not for me, sir.

This is going to be
a very high-profile case.

I need my best team.

I´m flattered, sir,
but I knew Jayne Akers.

We went through Ryton together.

Half the job
went through training together.

We´re not investigating Akers.

Not yet.

There´s three of our own
in the morgue.

Am I meant to be angry?
Is that it, sir?

Well, you ought to be.

And if I find out
a police officer´s responsible,

even in the slightest,
I´ll be livid.

I´m not.
That´s the problem.

Problem?

I´d rather not investigate
the death of a former colleague.

I like keeping a distance.

What about Steve?

Well, I´ll have to find him
a new partner,

and I expect
he won´t like it.

Away you go.

Well, there shouldn´t be
a problem.

I mean, he just
needs to speak to him.

Sorry to keep you.

No problem, sir.

D.C. Georgina Trotman,
meet D.S. Steven Arnott.

Steve, meet your new partner.

Actually, sir, it´s Georgia.

Georgia. Sorry.

-Pleased to meet you.
-Likewise.

I´ve just been given
the operational parameters.

Witness protection
is off-limits.

Christ´s sake.

Yeah.

Major violent crime
are going after the gunmen.

So AC-12´s brief

is to investigate
the suspicion

that information leakage
by a police officer

is part of the setup
of the ambush.

-Sir...
-Steve, I get it. I get it.

But this is how Dryden wants it.
We get the 4th Street officers.

Only one´s still alive.

So you go after Denton.

Very good, sir.

Thank you, you two.

Is she up to it?

Get you, the big I am.

[ Chuckles ]

Yes, I think so.

-This investigation, sir --
-Aye, aye.

That´s the spirit.

Welcome to AC-12.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Morning, ma´am.

O´NEILL:
How are you faring, ma´am?

Okay. Thanks.

Anything I can do,
don´t hesitate.

Cheers, Sarge.

Welcome back, Lindsay.

Sir.

You´ve been through a lot.
Just take it steady.

Thanks.

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Sobs ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sniffles ]

This one´s taken.

[ Pounding on door ]

I said this one´s taken.

[ Screaming ]

[ Toilet flushes ]

[ Screaming ]

No firearms!
No backup!

It should be you we´re burying,
you stupid bitch!

[ Screaming ]

[ Toilet flushes ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Gagging ]

D.I. Royal, D.I. Denton.

[ Beeps ]

[ Beeps ]

[ Buzzing tone sounds ]

[ Tone continues ]

[ Tone stops ]

AC-12 interview.

D.I. Lindsay Denton

and federation rep
D.I. Samuel Royal

in the presence
of Superintendent Hastings,

D.S. Arnott, D.C. Trotman.

D.I. Denton, thank you very much
for coming in today.

Let´s be clear --

You´re being interviewed today
as a witness,

not as a suspect
in any matters of crime,

discipline, or misconduct.

Whatever I can do
to help, sir.

Thank you.

So how did you come
to be involved

in the operation that took place
on the night of September 5th?

[ Breathes deeply ]

Just bad luck.
I was on the ghost rota.

The duty sergeant took a call
and passed it on to me.

And what was said
in that call?

The caller identified herself
as D.S. Akers.

D.S. Jayne Akers.

Akers, or the individual
identifying herself as Akers,

advised me that there was
an immediate and credible threat

to the life
of a protected witness.

Did she expand
on the nature of that threat?

No, she did not.

Did she give any indication

as to where that information
came from?

No, she did not.

Go on.

D.S. Akers
requested assistance.

ARNOTT:
You were the duty station?

ROYAL: D.I. Denton is entitled
to be questioned by an officer

at least one rank superior.

There´s no suspicion
of D.I. Denton.

She´s being interviewed
purely as a witness.

-Yeah --
-Sam, it´s all fine.

We were the duty station as,
at that time,

Akers and the witness
were located within

the precinct of 4th Street
and the 4th Street Estate.

And did you share
that information

with the officers
at 4th Street Station?

No, I did not, sir.

You did not?
Why not?

D.S. Akers impressed on me

the secure nature
of our communication,

and that I should
only involve others

when strictly
operationally necessary.

I -- I invented
a cover story

involving the arrest
of a missing-person suspect.

You shared the information
with no one?

I discussed the matter with
Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

I sought his approval
to render assistance.

But didn´t D.S. Akers
advise you

to inform
as few people as possible?

A critical incident response
of that type

requires gold approval, sir.

Quite right.

You always adhere
to regulations?

That´s what
they´re there for.

HASTINGS: I can see you and I
are gonna get on

like a house on fire,
D.I. Denton.

So Deputy Chief Constable
Dryden --

What induced you to call him
in particular?

An incident occurred
a few months ago

in which the duty C.S.
failed to answer.

D.C.C. Dryden made it clear

that he could be contacted
in such circumstances.

I -- I think it was his way
of finding out

which brass were pulling
their weight and which weren´t.

[ Chuckles ]

And why did you assign
Wallis and Butler?

They were two officers
I knew by reputation.

They could
handle themselves.

Two unarmed officers.

No firearms?
No backup?

If there was anything I could do
to reverse that decision, sir...

ROYAL: D.I. Denton´s
statement records

she was acting
on D.S. Akers´ instructions.

HASTINGS:
Nobody´s blaming you.

I mean, if those were
Akers´ instructions.

I just thought you might think
they were a...bit irregular.

You took the view it was
Akers´ area of specialization?

Exactly.

The ambush, ma´am,
must have been frightening.

It was.

You ever experienced
anything like that before?

No, thankfully.

HASTINGS: That´s true, isn´t it,
D.I. Denton?

You´ve held down
a lot of desk jobs.

You´re a bit of a...

backroom detective.

I believe I´ve done
important work, sir.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

You did well in a very testing
situation, ma´am.

Thank you.

You´ve never faced
an anti-corruption hearing,

have you, ma´am?

No.

In 2002, D.C. Denton
alleged a colleague

was falsifying
witness statements.

The complaint was upheld.
The officer was disciplined.

In 2007, D.S. Denton alleged

a colleague was making
fraudulent expenses claims.

The complaint was upheld.
The officer was disciplined.

D.I. Denton has demonstrated
the utmost probity

throughout her service career.

It takes courage
to make a moral stand

against your fellow officers.

Except sometimes
they don´t see it that way.

No.

I direct you to
Document 7 in your folder.

Document 7, for the tape,

is a map showing
the location of the safe house,

the ambush,
and 4th Street Station.

ARNOTT: For the tape,

I´m indicating
the route taken that night.

Two unmarked police vehicles
departed the safe house.

And the most direct route
to 4th Street Station

is via "A" roads.

Instead, the vehicles
traveled along Crown Avenue

and then turned left
into Long Lane,

almost immediately after which
the ambush took place.

Agreed and accepted?

Agreed and accepted.

A decision was taken
not to go the fastest way,

via "A" roads.

That´s correct.

ROYAL: D.I. Denton was following
D.S. Akers´ instructions.

Akers chose the route?

Yeah.

This back route, it would
lead to 4th Street Station,

but only if you´d continued
along Crown Avenue.

The vehicles turned left
into Long Lane.

Yeah.

You didn´t question
that decision?

No, sir.

You had a radio, didn´t you?

Yeah.

So why didn´t you question
the decision?

Can we take a step back,
please, and remind ourselves

that D.I. Denton is being
interviewed as a witness?

Absolutely. Absolutely.

The -- The decision appeared
to make sense at the time.

There were roadworks
on Crown Avenue, um,

with temporary traffic signals
controlling a single lane.

It was a potential holdup

that would have
left us vulnerable.

ARNOTT: There were no roadworks
on Crown Avenue that night.

Works had been completed
the day before.

I wasn´t aware.

You didn´t make a point
of getting

up-to-date travel information?

DENTON: No.

You said
Akers chose the route,

but you seem very familiar
with the arguments.

You were the ranking officer.

You and Akers discussed
the route between you.

That´s more likely,
isn´t it?

Not more likely?

ROYAL:
I think we should stop there.

Are you withdrawing
your cooperation, D.I. Denton?

D.I. Denton?

No, of course I cooperate.

Your vehicle was the only one
that wasn´t shot at.

They didn´t need to.

They´d knocked my car
off the road.

I, um...

I took cover inside
until they fled the scene.

You were in fear of your life.

Understandably.

ARNOTT: According to
the pathologist´s report,

Wallis and Butler died almost
instantly from gunshot wounds,

but Akers
and a witness were alive.

The witness...

...managed to put out
the flames, but...

...Akers, s-she couldn´t...

I, uh -- I threw my coat
over her.

Well done, ma´am.

Did you help get them
out of the car?

No.

No?

They came...

They came out themselves, sir.
They, uh...

They, uh --
They were already burning.

I´m sorry.

That must have been
a horrible sight.

[ Sniffles ]

It was.

We all appreciate
that you´ve been

through the most
terrible situation,

but we have a job to do.

What we´re trying to
get at here, D.I. Denton,

is how those gunmen knew
where you were that night.

I wish I could help you, sir.

You do understand
what we´re investigating here,

don´t you, D.I. Denton?

The possibility
of information leakage.

Yeah, I understand.

And information leakage

can only happen in two ways --
deliberately...

Officer corruption.
They´re in with the criminals.

...or accidentally.

Officer incompetence.

They fail
to communicate securely.

ROYAL:
This interview has to stop.

If D.I. Denton
is under suspicion,

you need to issue her
with a Regulation 15 notice.

This is still
information-gathering.

We are a long way
from a Reg 15.

Under AC-12´s blanket authority
to vet any officer

connected to
an ongoing investigation,

we carried out financial checks
on D.I. Denton.

ROYAL:
I´ve requested that you stop.

Our strongest suspicion
is that criminal interests

tried to assassinate the witness
to stop him from testifying.

Now, those criminal interests
would pay a pretty penny

for an inside man or woman.

And any officer
in the financial difficulty

that you are in,
D.I. Denton,

is duty-bound to declare it

on the grounds that she would
be vulnerable to bribery.

You´re in debt
up to your eyeballs.

ROYAL: Stop the tape.
We´re finished here.

My mother had to go
into a nursing home.

And the council wouldn´t pay,

so we sold her house,
but it wasn´t enough.

So we sold mine, but there was
negative equity, so...

My mum is being looked after,

but I´m stuck
with mortgage payments

on a horrible little place
that I hate and...

-You people...
-Lindsay, don´t.

You people, you sit there
and you try and twist some case

out of my misfortunes.

All I did was do my job.

That´s all I´ve ever done.

[ Sniffles ]

I shouldn´t have even
been on duty that night.

I´d do anything
not to have been there,

not to have picked up
that call,

because for all I know

it´s gonna take away
the one good thing in my life,

and that is being
a police officer.

TROTMAN:
That how it works here?

ARNOTT: Sometimes.

TROTMAN:
You should have told me

you were gonna treat her
like a suspect.

ARNOTT: We weren´t.
She did that herself.

TROTMAN: She was defenseless
in there.

ARNOTT: That´s her rep´s job,
not ours.

What´s ours, then?

Catching criminals.

The criminals we catch
happen to be police officers.

That´s all there is to it.

You think she´s a criminal?

Well?

No.

So, what gives you the right
to treat her like one?

I´ve been through it.
That gives me the right.

And having been through it,
it doesn´t bother you?

If this is not for you,
all you need to do is say.

It´s for me.

DRYDEN: Sergeant Alex Wallis
and Constable Vince Butler

both leave behind them

families devastated
by their loss.

Who were the other casualties?

A police detective
was pronounced dead

shortly afterwards.

A second police detective
suffered minor injuries.

We´re withholding both their
names for operational reasons.

-MAN: Deputy Chief Dryden!
-WOMAN: Deputy Chief Dryden!

Can you confirm reports that
there was another casualty?

-A civilian?
-DRYDEN: No.

"There´s been
an attack on the police."

Those were my words
on the night of the ambush.

[ Electronic music thumping
through wall ]

For the families
that lost their loved ones,

the hurt goes on.

For those of us charged
with finding their killers,

we must set that pain aside
and proceed with clear minds.

And it´s clear to me

there´s another attack
on the police --

an insidious and, ultimately,
more devastating one.

Our numbers
have been cut back.

Public safety
has been jeopardized.

There´s no clearer indicator

than the fact
that on that night

we weren´t even able
to protect ourselves.

[ Music continues thumping ]

[ Dog barking ]

[ Car alarm blares ]

[ Organ music plays ]

DRYDEN:
God asks us to forgive.

But first we must gain justice

for our fallen comrades.

Dearly beloved,

avenge not yourselves...

...but rather give place
unto wrath.

For it is written,

"Vengeance is mine.
I will repay,"

saith the Lord.

Detective Sergeant Jayne Akers
leaves a loving husband,

Richard Akers,

and many colleagues
devastated by her loss.

The families
of Sergeant Alex Wallis

and Constable Vincent Butler
will miss them terribly...

Sir.

You called me that night.

Yes, sir.

How are you bearing up?

Okay, thanks, sir.

Very sorry for your loss.

-I´m sorry for your loss.
-Thanks.

Sorry.

WOMAN: So sorry.

Very sorry for your loss.

-Sorry.
-Sorry.

-Sorry.
-Sorry.

-Very sorry.
-WOMAN: Thank you.

-MAN: Sorry.
-WOMAN: Thanks for coming.

Hi, it´s me.

Look, I´ve got to
work late tonight.

I´m sorry.

Yeah, would you mind getting
his stuff ready for school?

Thanks, babe.

Yeah, all right, then.
I´ll speak to you in a bit. Bye.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sniffles ]

I´m sorry.

What for?

For tonight.

It doesn´t matter much
in the scheme of things.

[ Sniffles ]

You two always used to end up
side by side.

Do you think she ever knew?

When it mattered, she trusted us
both with her life.

[ Sniffles ]

The night of the ambush,
she called me to call you.

To say what?

For you to call her back about
the case she was working on.

Why didn´t
she call me direct?

Was she worried
her phone was tapped?

If you´d answered, you could
have asked her yourself.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Button clicks ]

TROTMAN:
AC-12 interview.

D.I. Lindsay Denton

and federation rep
D.I. Samuel Royal...

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Sorry, Tom,
can I call you back?

Five minutes, mate.
Cheers.

I´m moving you up.

Where?

28s.

Why?

Quality control
are responding to complaints

that non-high-priority
missing persons

are being downprocessed.

We´ve got to be seen
to take action.

This is because
I didn´t cover for you.

I´ve got
a room full of detectives

scoring fours and fives.

After the balls-up
of the ambush...

...you´re a two.

At best.

I´m taking this to H.R.

Take it to Butler´s missus.

Wallis´ kids.

Who´s on this unit?

You.

And?

I´ll find some D.C. or other.

If there´s one
who´ll work with you.

HASTINGS:
Nobody´s blaming you,

I mean, if those were
Akers´ instructions.

ARNOTT:
Akers chose the route?

DENTON: Yeah.

ARNOTT: The vehicles turned left
into Long Lane.

DENTON: Yeah.

HASTINGS: You didn´t question
that decision?

DENTON: No, sir.

Computer on the blink?

I´m an old-fashioned girl.

I listened to the tape.

I thought you didn´t want to
get involved.

-Denton picked the route.
-We don´t know that.

And tried to pin it
on Jayne Akers.

She was nervous.

Easiest ploy in the world.
Blame the dead person.

-May I, sir?
-Sure.

MAN: She said, "Just because
I reported him missing

doesn´t mean
I wanted him back."

[ Laughter ]

All right, lads,
who´s for the pub?

-WOMAN: I am.
-Good, it´s your round.

Okay.

[ Man laughs ]

[ Door opens ]

DENTON: Thank you for
making time to see me today.

As I told you
on the telephone,

I´m heading up
a newly formed unit

that´s taken over
the search for Carly.

Anything we can do to help.

Before she went missing,

did you notice anything unusual
about Carly´s behavior?

She´d always been difficult.

A lot of them are
that we take in.

And how did her difficult nature
manifest itself?

You try and make them
stay in school, not go out late.

If they go out,
maybe it´s the pictures or...

Carly drifted back
into her old ways,

or what they said
were her old ways.

Out late, drinking, smoking.

Boys too.

We found a used condom
in her room.

We did our best
not to push her away.

[ Knock on door ]

Yeah?

Just wanted to ask you
a couple of questions, ma´am.

Which should take place
following legal notice

and in the presence
of my Police Federation rep.

We can do all that
if you prefer, ma´am,

but you´re being interviewed
as a witness, not a suspect.

Yeah, I´ve heard
that one before.

We had a job to do.
I´m sorry.

But thanks to your cooperation,
our investigation´s moving on.

Look, this isn´t a trap, ma´am.

You´re the last living person
to have had contact

with D.S. Akers.

We need to form a view
of her mental state that night.

All right.

How was she behaving?

She was, uh...

She was on edge.

Nervous.
I´d say very nervous.

Did she give any reason

why she wasn´t in contact
with her own team?

No, she didn´t.

Did she refer to any process?

[ Knock on door ]

Sorry, gaffer. You said
you wanted these straightaway.

DENTON: That´s all right.
Thank you.

That´s my new D.C. --
Kate Foster.

FLEMING: Hi.

You were saying?

Did D.S. Akers refer
to any process

of clearing her actions
with her superiors?

No, she didn´t.

Did she discuss any role played
by other members of her team?

No, she didn´t.

As far as you could tell,
who was D.S. Akers working with?

As far as I could tell,

D.S. Akers appeared to be
working alone.

That´s been very helpful.
Thank you, ma´am.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

I asked Kate to check out
the operational options.

Neither of us suspected
she´d get embedded so quickly.

You know, there was
an unfulfilled post

for Denton´s D.C.

Yeah, well, a heads-up
would have been nice.

Do you want a row?

What the hell
were you doing there, anyway,

interviewing Denton again?

We´re not allowed
to investigate Akers,

so I asked Denton about her.

Full marks
for ingenuity, son.

Supposing Akers
was the inside woman.

Sorry, Steve.

-All right?
-Hi.

Thanks for coming.

Steve,
meet the trouble and strife.

[ Chuckles ]

Have you been here before,
Steve?

I haven´t, no.
It looks a nice place.

Yeah, we´ve heard some
good things, haven´t we, love?

Oh, and speaking
of good things.

I´m not late, am I?
Sorry, sorry.

-I´m Roisin.
-Georgia.

-Drink, Steve?
-I´m still on this beer, thanks.

Georgia?

Uh, if anyone fancies wine?

Yep.
Wine list, please.

TROTMAN:
Oh, you´re on beer.

HASTINGS:
Do you want one?

Sorry.
Beer here, please.

So Steve´s been
in AC for a year now,

and every day
has felt like a lifetime.

That´d make me
about your age, sir.

He also likes the banter,
the cheeky wee b--

Ted.

"Boy." I was gonna say
"cheeky wee boy."

You´re new to Ted´s unit?

Transferred from armed robbery.

HASTINGS:
You´ll be at home here, then...

...with these prices.

Thanks.

[ Electronic music thumping
through wall ]

[ Music continues thumping ]

[ Dissonant notes echo ]

That was very generous.
Thanks, sir.

-Thanks, sir.
-Pleasure.

Yeah,
lovely meeting you both.

-See you tomorrow, then.
-Night.

-Night-night.
-Night-night.

-Night, boss.
-Night.

Do you need a lift?

Bus stop´s just here.

Well, I´m that way.

You okay to drive?

Pff!

Do you fancy a nightcap?

[ Up-tempo dance music playing ]

What are you having?

I´ll get these.
I insist.

All right. Beer.
Whatever they´ve got.

Pint of, uh, Peroni,

half of pilsner.

And a double vodka.

Thank you for that.

You always wanted to
try the place.

I got you out on
false pretenses, is that it?

Mm...

I didn´t detect
any pressing reason

for keeping up appearances.

I´m their boss.

And picking up the bill?

That really took the prize.

For my benefit, was it?

Bottles now?

Work in the morning.

Oh, that little thing.

When I first arrived,
what did you say to Hastings

when you were alone
in the office?

Just talking
operational parameters.

You´re such a crap liar.

Look, I just wanted to know
more about you.

All right.

Here are three facts about me,
but one of them is false.

You´ve bitten off more
than you can chew, Trotman.

-I do this for a living.
-Well, let´s see, shall we?

I´m a gifted horsewoman.

I won a poetry competition
when I was 11.

I´m a secret pool hustler.

You don´t know one end
of a pool cue from the other.

Is it so hard
to comprehend

a man wanting to spend
the evening with his wife?

This hurts me too.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

This is
a really stupid idea.

Yeah. Best not.

Best not.

Which was the false one,
by the way?

A girl never tells.

[ Electronic music thumping
through wall ]

[ Electronic music thumping ]

What do you want?

[ Gasps ]

Aah!

I...will...not...

take...it...anymore!

[ Dogs barking ]

[ Bottle breaks ]

Yeah, thanks for that.
Stay in touch.

Cheers.

HASTINGS:
News from the hospital.

The docs
are gonna try the witness

off the ventilator
later on today.

He´s on the mend.

When do we get
to interview him?

Oh, rest assured,
our foot is in the door.

If anyone´s got answers
to the questions, he has.

That was good craic last night,
you two.

Huh? Heh.

This is so reductive.

I´m concerned
there´s a news vacuum

and what´ll be used
to fill it.

The chief constable´s as
concerned as I am about any leak

that a police officer
might have been an accomplice.

We´re looking at using
anti-terror legislation

to keep a lid on it.

You can´t invite them to dinner
and not serve pudding.

I need a breakthrough.

I didn´t say that.

We need to keep the bastards
on side, that´s all.

MAN: Chief Dryden!
Deputy Chief Dryden!

Is there any more
you can tell us?

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Are you any nearer
finding those responsible?

We´re pursuing several
productive lines of inquiry.

I´m very pleased with the
progress of the investigation.

Yeah, but do you have
any suspects?

A breakthrough is imminent.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Deputy Chief Dryden, is there
any more you can tell us?!

WOMAN: Deputy Chief Constable
Michael Dryden

has taken personal charge
of the investigation.

A breakthrough is imminent.

Knob.

[ Laughter ]

Anything I can do, boss?

Just need to run an errand.
Be back in half an hour.

-Drive you?
-No need.

[ Cellphone beeps,
line rings ]

-WOMAN: Telecommunications.
-D.C. Fleming.

Requesting urgent identification
on the last number dialed

from a pay phone
on the corner of

Ridgeway Street
and Sandhurst Lane.

-Received.
-Thanks.

Get back to me
as soon as you can.

[ Cellphone rings ]

-[ Cellphone beeps ]
-D.C. Fleming.

WOMAN: D.C. Fleming, we have
the call I.D. you requested.

FLEMING: Go ahead.

It´s the main switchboard
number of the general hospital.

Thanks.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Kate?

Denton just made a call to
the hospital from a pay phone.

Get over there, Steve.
Check on the witness.

Georgia.

-[ Cellphone beeps ]
-D.S. Arnott.

HASTINGS: Steve, I´ve been
onto the hospital.

There´s no answer
from the guard unit.

I´ve got someone else
trying again.

You just get up there
as fast as you can, okay?

[ Siren wailing ]

Fifth floor.

Doors closing.

Where´s the guards?

You good to go?

-Yeah.
-You sure?

Yeah.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Machine hissing rhythmically ]

Nurse? Where´s --

TROTMAN:
Help! Help!

-Aaaaah!
-[ Alarm blaring ]

[ Flatline ]
