D.I. Denton.

WOMAN:
D.S. Jayne Akers calling

with request
for urgent assistance --

immediate and credible threat
to life.

I need a safe
and available destination ASAP.

DRYDEN: There's been an attack
on the police.

Three of our colleagues
have lost their lives

in the line of duty.

You called me that night.

Yes, sir.

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.

I'm heading up
a newly formed unit

that's taken over
the search for Carly Kirk.

Oh! [ Groaning ]

-D.S. Arnott. AC-12.
-Boss...

People have underestimated me
my whole life.

I'll open up witness protection
to your team.

There's a D.I. in AC-9.

He's your man.
You'll second him.

As you wish, sir.

Whatever it takes
to nail those bastards.

Your call history makes
for very interesting reading.

RICHARD:
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.

This is the home,
under protective custody,

of Staff Nurse Claire Tindall.

You interviewed her

in connection with events
at the hospital.

There are more photos.

The protected witness.

The wee gobshite
this was all about.

Christ.

D.I. Denton,
I'm arresting you

for conspiracy to murder
a protected witness.

What was in
the witness protection files?

Oh, my God.
Was it someone you knew?

I'm innocent.
You know I am.

[ Metal rumbling ]

[ Metal clanks ]

[ Metal rumbling ]

[ Clanks ]

All rise.

Remain standing.

Are you
Lindsay Elizabeth Denton?

Yes.

Please speak up
so we can hear you.

Yes.

CLERK:
Sit down, Ms. Denton.

JUDGE:
Morning, Ms. Latimer.

Your honor, the defendant
is charged

with conspiracy to murder.

This is a very serious charge

arising from
a complex investigation

by Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

A 36-year-old woman

has been charged
with conspiracy to murder.

There are rumors the victim
was a protected witness

granted immunity
from prosecution.

DRYDEN: No further details
will be disclosed at present.

The charging
of the 36-year-old woman

is a highly significant
breakthrough,

and we're confident
that more arrests will follow.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Nick Ronson
from The Evening Post.

Thanks.

Do you think
the witness protection scheme

is fit for purpose?

No comment.
Thank you all.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Well handled, sir.

Cheers, Les.

Champion.

-You're the new media manager?
-Jo Wright.

New Jo.
Have you got a minute?

Sure.

There's a false
speeding story about me.

With this arrest, sir,
it's dead.

Good.
A stupid, pointless distraction.

Oh, and civilians
don't have to call me "sir."

I'd feel uncomfortable
not respecting your rank.

Okay. Great.

Is there to be
a bail application?

Yes, your honor.

Your honor, the prosecution
opposes bail

on the following grounds --

the seriousness
of the offense,

the defendant has the means
and knowledge

to abscond from justice.

Your honor, the defendant
is a serving police officer

of excellent standing.

She has no desire to abscond.
She intends to clear her name.

I'm refusing bail.

You will be remanded in custody
until the 18th of November.

CLERK: All rise.

What about Bella?

Has anyone
got an evidence bag for this?

[ Light laughter ]

[ Buzzer sounds ]

MERCHANT:
Answering only yes or no,

do you understand
spoken English?

Yes.

MERCHANT:
Answering only yes or no,

are you
Lindsay Elizabeth Denton?

Yes.

MERCHANT:
Answering only yes or no,

are you currently suffering
from an infectious disease?

No.

LELAND:
Answering only yes or no,

are you currently suffering from
a sexually transmitted disease?

No.

MERCHANT:
Answering only yes or no,

are you
or could you be pregnant?

No.

You'll reside in
the Vulnerable Persons Unit.

You will be in a cell
on your own

and you will have
minimal association

with the other residents.

Answering only yes or no,
do you understand?

Yes.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

When an offender management
officer enters your cell,

she'll order you
to move away from the door.

Answering only yes or no,
do you understand?

Yeah.

If you maintain
good behavior,

you may request
a television set,

the cost at £2 per week to be
taken out of your allowance.

Can I request
a piano keyboard, please?

Answering only yes or no,

would you like to request
a television set?

No.

Move away from the door.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

Oh, what's that tosser
doing here?

ARNOTT:
Buggered if I know.

Morning, you two.

FLEMING:
Morning, sir.

-Sir, what's he doing here?
-Ah. Yeah.

Look, our investigation
has expanded

into witness protection.

The deputy chief constable
ordered me to bring on

a specialist from AC-9.

Those bastards
have been keeping us out.

AC-9 did not make the call,
Steve.

Dot Cottan certainly
did not make the call.

This has come directly
from the office

of the deputy chief constable.

I'm not saying you should have
run it by us first.

I'm glad you're not
saying that, Steve,

because that shows
you're not confused

about who's in charge here.

Come on.
Give him a chance.

When Tony Gates' team
was disbanded,

Cottan went on
to distinguish himself,

got himself a promotion.

And the fact of the matter is

he was the only officer
in that unit

who was prepared to stand up and
give evidence against his boss.

He's a born
anti-corruption officer.

Poacher turned gamekeeper.

[ Pounding on door ]

LELAND:
Move away from the door!

[ Buzzer sounds ]

[ Buzzer sounds ]

[ Sniffs ]

[ Woman laughing ]

[ Coughing ]

The dirty bastards
put shit in my food.

Don't you people check?

Answering yes or no,
don't you people check?!

HASTINGS: The target
of the 5th of September ambush

was a protected witness.

To fill you in
on the details,

I'd like to introduce you

to Detective Inspector
Matthew Cottan.

-Thank you, Matt.
-Thanks a lot, sir.

In June of 2012,

a double murder at Greek Lane,
Moss Heath,

that was originally thought
to have been drug related,

was recrimed
as a terrorist incident.

This individual is
John Thomas Hunter.

He used the name Tommy

and had proven links
with organized crime.

Tommy cooperated
with the investigation

into the Greek Lane
terror incident

in return for immunity
from prosecution.

Tommy was the target
of the ambush.

Having been enrolled in the
witness protection program,

he was given a new identity
as Alex Campbell

and relocated to a safe house
at 12 St. James' Close.

On the night of September 5th,
his witness protection officer,

D.S. Jayne Akers,

notified an immediate threat
against her witness

and attempted to move him
into safe custody

at 4th Street Station.

As we all know,
Akers was killed

and the witness received
critical injuries.

A second, successful attempt
on his life was made

at the General Hospital
nine days later.

Yes?

No prosecutions resulted

from the Greek Lane
counterterror op.

As a result,
as I was going on to say,

the witness' immunity
was in jeopardy.

The only way for him
to stay out of prison

was to prove his value.

HASTINGS:
So you think this got back

to the witness'
criminal associates,

which prompted their plan
to silence him?

Exactly that, sir.
Yeah.

D.S. Akers was the person
closest to the witness,

trusted by him.

So if he was gonna name names,
she'd be the one to know.

What?

D.S. Akers was killed
in the ambush.

How would it fit
that she betrayed Tommy?

Well, unknown to Akers,

she may also have been
the target of the ambush,

killed for her silence.

Sounds like a guess.

I'd call it
a working hypothesis.

ARNOTT: We've charged
D.I. Lindsay Denton.

AC-9 wouldn't happen to be
sitting on a connection

between Tommy and Denton?

-Not that I know of.
-Yet.

Which is why
we are pooling our resources.

-Thank you, Matthew.
-Thanks, sir.

Assignments in respect
of the foregoing

will come via me
or D.I. Cottan.

Thank you.
That is all.

COTTAN:
Also before you go.

I've got some handouts,
should anybody want one.

Christ's sake.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Thanks.

[ Keys jingling ]

[ Gate unlocking ]

Kindly take a seat,

and your event
will commence shortly.

[ Gate locks ]

Hello, Inspector.

How are you?

Hmm. Tickety-boo.

I need to conduct
a further interview

in regard to the ambush
on the night of September 5th.

You remain under caution.

There are strict rules
for postcharge interview.

One of which is for the detainee
to have put to them information

which has come to light
since they were charged.

In the interests of justice.

Go on.

Who was
D.S. Akers' protected witness?

I don't know.
I never knew.

You never saw him,
never heard a name?

No.

Have you ever
seen this man before?

No.

Fine.
Have it your own way.

Is that the new information?

Was that the witness?

Fine.
End of conversation.

Why didn't you reveal
to Hastings and Arnott

that I'd received a call
off D.S. Akers' husband

on the night of the ambush?

I didn't need to.

-No?
-No.

Hastings makes Greece
look solvent,

and Arnott can't keep it
in his pants.

Their transgressions are minor
in comparison, irrelevant.

How did you figure out
I was an undercover officer?

What, I give you tips so that
you can do a better job

on the next innocent officer
that you go after?

I did a good enough job
on you.

You want me on a string,

wondering when you're gonna
screw up my career.

You don't like it
when the shoe's

on the other foot, do you?

Let me explain something to you,
Inspector.

You're facing a charge
of conspiracy to murder.

That's a life sentence.

I'm not gonna
be in here for life.

I'm innocent,
and I'm gonna clear my name,

and that will become apparent
at the trial.

If we get that far.

-We will.
-Is this what you want, Kate?

Wouldn't it be better
if you went out

and found the actual culprit,

and got all the charges
against me dropped?

-The evidence points at you.
-Circumstantial evidence.

The CPS buy it.
So will the courts.

Yeah, the courts.

Where it's gonna come out that
you're connected to the person

who's much more likely
to have set up the ambush.

There's no connection.

You know what?
You're a good liar, Kate.

Not good enough to fool me
when you were undercover,

but good enough
to hide that call.

And I'm so glad you did,

because you've made yourself
my ticket out of here.

Well, whilst you're in here,
bouncing off the walls,

our investigation rolls on,
day after day,

gathering more evidence
against you.

For one, we'll find out
the real reason

why you were sniffing around
that garage.

I told you.

We'll see.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

We've both been here before.

So has major violent crime.

What matters is
Denton came here.

Yeah, following
a missing persons lead.

This is the exact place
used by Tommy's killer.

If that
isn't a possible connection

between the two of them,
I don't know what is.

What?

I searched this place.
It was flat.

Well, it's not anymore.

Get the landlord on the phone.

We need consent to get
a search team over here.

Let's see what comes
from the garage.

But now we've got access
to the witness protection files,

we've got Tommy.

We've got Akers,
who was his W.P. officer,

and her phone records.

And then we've got Denton.

But nothing in either the files
or the phone history connects

either party to Denton.

-All right?
-All right.

Yeah, all right.

So gaffer says you were
probies with Akers.

Yeah, I went through Ryton
with her.

Honest copper?

Yeah.

[ Sighs ] What?

We're playing catch-up.

Feels like everybody else
got first dibs on this one.

First thing we did
was look for prior contact

between Akers and Denton.

They never worked together.
They never called each other.

As far as we can tell,
they were complete strangers.

Never met until a few minutes
before the ambush.

-As per Denton's statement.
-Yeah.

There's a hell of a lot
of evidence against Denton.

Oh, yeah, you're right.
There is.

Look, the gaffer's asked me
to do a job.

It's not my fault
you were kept out of the loop.

But, really,
around the office,

you ought to
be calling me "sir."

Sir.

Sir.

Good.

Have a nice day.

Wanker.

Twat.

[ Exhales slowly ]
Okay.

According to
Akers' phone records,

a few minutes beforehand
she called a number

registered to her husband.

She calls home,

says, "I might be a little bit
late tonight, love,"

and then arranges the transfer
via Denton.

Makes sense, but let's
talk to the husband anyway.

-Good idea.
-I'll call him.

No, it's fine.
I'll do it.

Do you mind
if we set the interview up

for tomorrow, though, 'cause
my Tesco shuts at 8:00?

All right.

Hi.

In the morning, I'm gonna
return to take a statement

with my partner, Steve Arnott.

You'll answer all our questions
fully and honestly,

with the exception
of disclosing Jayne's request

for you to contact me

and the fact that
you did attempt to contact me.

-Right. Okay.
-Okay.

Kate...

I get it.

Last thing I want to do
is embarrass you.

[ Music thumping through wall ]

[ Children shouting
indistinctly ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Door opens ]

You picked a good day, Ted.

We've got Bourbon creams.

Thanks very much, sir,
but I'm fine.

[ Door closes ]

Why didn't you notify me
you were arresting D.I. Denton?

I didn't realize
I had to, sir.

I thought we agreed
we were on the same team.

We are, sir.

It's just there's the principle
of nonreciprocity between --

I'm managing
one of the biggest cases,

if not the biggest,
this force has ever seen.

Every move's being watched
like a hawk.

And may I ask
is there any difficulty

with Denton's arrest, sir?

No, of course not.

You did the right thing.

Luckily, we've managed to play
this development in our favor.

It's just that
you would have appreciated

some forewarning, sir.

That's all it is.

Well, if I could just beg

another minute of your time,
please, sir.

Quickly.

I'm gonna send you
the audio file

of our interview
with D.I. Denton

in which you'll hear her
leveling accusations

intended to discredit
two AC-12 officers.

D.S. Stephen Arnott
is accused

of having a liaison
with a witness, sir.

It happens.

-Okay.
-The second officer?

Well, that would be me, sir.

D.I. Denton obtained
my financial records

and is accusing me of having

high levels of undisclosed
financial losses, sir.

Her actions
in obtaining those records

are, in my opinion,
unlawful, sir,

but, however, the information
she has against me is correct.

I'm sorry.
How did it happen?

A retired colleague invited me
to invest in a property deal

in the Irish Republic.

I meant how did she access
your records?

That's still
under investigation, sir.

You're aware
the prosecutor's going for

public interest immunity
against D.I. Denton?

I am, sir.

And there's a chance they'll
umbrella AC-12's evidence

with witness protection.

It's possible
this could all end up

being brushed under the carpet.

That's out of my hands, sir.

This must have been difficult
for you, Ted.

It shows your integrity.

Notwithstanding,
I'm gonna have to consider

how it affects your position.

O-Of course, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Akers, I'm D.S. Arnott.
D.C. Fleming you know.

Hi.

-Hi, Kate.
-Hi.

Come in.

You two
seen each other since --

The funeral?
No.

I'm very sorry
for your loss.

Jayne left for work as normal
that morning.

She didn't say anything about
there being anything unusual

that she had to do that day.

Did your wife ever discuss
the particular witness

she was dealing with?

Not a word.
Jayne didn't do that.

D.I. Lindsay Denton.

That a name
you ever heard from your wife?

No.

According to
your wife's phone records,

she made a telephone call at
exactly 8:43 p.m. that evening.

That your number?

-My mobile, yeah.
-Do you recall what she said?

She said that something
had come up at work

and that she was
going to be home late.

She said she'd call me later

and let me know
how things were going.

That's all?

To the best
of my recollection.

Thank you, Mr. Akers.

We know this is a difficult time
for you.

Your assistance
has been valuable.

See you out.

Sorry, Mr. Akers.

If someone's in fear of
their life, a police officer,

then they do something
about it.

Was there anything she said,
an unusual turn of phrase,

a name, anything,
that might alert someone

to what was going on?

There wasn't. No.

Thanks again, Mr. Akers.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

A word.

You got something to say

about the interview
with Akers' husband?

Writing up the statement
for the boss.

Well, he's made me
deputy SIO,

so I'll take a look at it
when it's ready.

Congratulations.

You're worried
it doesn't fit.

Hmm?

Akers makes a random phone call
to Denton,

and yet it's all Denton?

That's why we're
looking for connections.

Our side and your side.
And we haven't found one.

Have you seen the preliminaries
on the search of Denton's house?

Not one piece
of incriminating evidence.

But I'm guessing summat wasn't
right with Akers' husband.

-[ Snaps fingers ]
-Cup of tea.

Look, I've put in a request
for financial forensics for...

I've put in a request
for financial forensics

for Akers' bank account.

If she was getting paid
for information.

Great minds think alike.
Nice one.

Well, Denton's in custody.
How's the boss gonna react?

Don't know, mate.

I'm not sure how I feel about
sending an innocent copper down.

I need my eight hours a night.

-Steve, what was that?
-Nothing. He's a twat.

Steven.

Sir.

Shut the door.

Remain standing.

I've been
trying to figure out

the best way of dealing
with this matter,

and, frankly,
I'd rather not have to.

And I don't fancy talking to
this nurse about what happened

between the pair of you,
so I'll start with you.

This isn't relevant
to our investigation.

Yes, it is, because we have
Denton on tape quoting the regs.

She was clutching at straws.

She'll say anything
to undermine us.

Why don't you let me
be the judge of that?

The nurse isn't a witness
against Denton.

She's never
even heard of her.

Did you have inappropriate
relations with a witness?

As I've said, sir,
she's not a witness.

Not our witness, anyway,

and MVC aren't charging her
as an accessory.

So, what are you saying, son?
What, she was fair game?

I'm saying
I know the difference

between screwing up an
investigation and just screwing.

There's discreditable conduct,

and there's
just plain right and wrong.

Meaning?

She was already under threat
for her little boy's life.

She was in protective custody.

If you've got a moral problem,
that's down to you.

There's nothing wrong
with my morality!

I'm a single bloke, and I've got
a normal private life.

With respect, sir,
you need a better reason

for having this conversation.

HASTINGS: How the hell are we
supposed to uphold standards

if you're running around town
not upholding them yourself?

That's my reason.
And it's a bloody good one.

I'm disappointed, son.

Go on.
Get out!

Another bollocking?
That's all I need.

No.

I'll tell you what you need.
Come on.

So, this nurse --
She fit, was she?

All right.

Well? Did you?

You need to brush up
your interrogation technique.

Don't look now, right...

What did I say
about not looking?

There's a couple of birds
behind you.

Now, I'm not formulating a plan
or anything, but...

There's three of them.

I'm a bloody
detective inspector.

I can see
there's three of them.

There's always one
who's got a boyfriend,

on her period or summat.

You were obviously off

the day they did
gender awareness training.

Hey, I gave
the gender awareness training.

[ Laughs ]

This is bloody weird, Dot.

What, me and you
working together?

Well, yeah.

Well,
that's anti-corruption, mate.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Mm, and this is all on me,
by the way.

-No, honestly.
-We'll have no arguments.

First things first.

Captain.

Pop over there, yeah?

Ask those lovely ladies
what we can get them to drink.

No food, mind.
I'm not made of money.

PRISONERS:
[ Chanting ] Bent bitch!

-[ Pounding on walls ]
-Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent bitch!
Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Buzzer sounds ]

[ Police radio chatter ]

MAN: Meter down.
Do you see it?

MAN:
Yeah, it's ready.

FLEMING: Hi.

-You all right?
-Yeah.

So there's a body?

-We're taking it from here.
-Sir?

-Our crime scene.
-You're joking.

It's our side
of the investigation.

That floor was collapsing

because there's something
underneath it collapsing.

It's thanks to Kate
the subsidence was even noticed.

Well, top marks for that.

Sir, may I respectfully request
any findings be shared?

Send your request to my office
in writing.

Somebody will get back to you

within the next 10 working days,
okay?

Yes, please,
ladies and gentlemen.

WOMAN: It's okay.
I've got it.

Here it comes.

Call me later
for initial forensics.

WOMAN:
I've got it.

Let's go.

We're not making
any announcement about the body.

MAN:
You sure, sir?

No, not until
we know how it fits in

with the overall investigation.

[ Beeps ]

Sorry, Andrew,
I've got another call incoming.

-Okay, boss.
-We'll catch up in the morning.

Okay. Love to Liz and the kids.
Bye.

[ Beeps ]

-Mike Dryden.
-RISE: Sorry, sir. It's Jo Rise.

New Jo. Hi.

I'm afraid The Evening Herald
is going to run

the speeding-ticket story.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

I need to
question you further

in regards to
the industrial estate.

What were
you really doing there?

I was investigating
the disappearance of Carly Kirk,

as I've already stated.

Ever been there before,

consorted with individuals
connected with the place?

No.

A body's been found
buried under the floor

of the old A&B Carriage Repairs
industrial unit.

Been there about two months.

And your presence was what,
a coincidence?

I was investigating
the disap--

The men
who carried out the ambush

were the same men
who used the nurse

to gain access
to the hospital.

Same target.

Same clothing --
motorcycle gear.

They took the nurse
to that garage,

same place where
the girl's body was buried.

And you went there too.

Now, if this was your case,

would you write those off
as coincidences?

-No.
-No.

So, one way or another,
you're involved.

No.

The evidence is out there.
We will find it.

A girl.
What age?

About 15.

Carly Kirk?

No I.D. yet.
Only initial forensics.

Why not?

Her face and finger pulps
were burnt off

using a high-temperature flame,
most likely a blowtorch.

Her teeth
were removed postmortem,

most likely with pliers,

preventing comparison
of dental records.

Cause of death?

Strangulation using
some kind of ligature.

Can her DNA
be compared to Carly's?

There were control samples

obtained from her personal
effects when she disappeared.

They haven't been traced
as yet.

They're lost?

It's just an admin glitch.

She was a nobody
when she was alive.

And dead she's still one.

Why are you so convinced
it's her?

Because of a lead
I was following.

The same lead
that you think makes out

that I had to be in on it.

I was only searching
for Carly.

Why?

Of all the long-term mispers,
why her?

She was -- She was
only recently disappeared.

There were leads.

I thought we'd find her.

I thought maybe there'd be

some good news for once
in this job.

Ma'am, what's wrong?

Look...

It's tough in here.
On anyone.

They told me about what happened
to your food.

Maybe you could make sure

that you only eat stuff
out of a sealed wrapper.

They said that you requested
a piano keyboard.

I'm sure that's something
we can look at.

If you can cooperate
with our investigation,

tell us things
that we don't already know,

there's all sorts we can do
to improve your situation.

I know why I'm in here.

Because I picked up a phone.

Because an officer in danger,

somebody I'd never even
met before, requested my help,

and I did what any
decent police officer would do.

Yeah, you did pick up a phone.
In a call box.

To speak to the nurse

who was looking after
the target of the ambush.

And lied through your teeth
about it ever since.

That's the reason
you're in here.

I shouldn't have lied.

I realized
how incriminating it sounded.

That I'd called the nurse.

So you're admitting it?

Yeah.

Yeah. So, what is your
connection with the nurse?

None.

[ Sighs ]

It didn't take a genius
to work out

where the witness
was being treated.

I made calls,
always from phone boxes.

Pretended I was from
a recruitment agency

asking for
the names of nurses

who worked
on the intensive care unit.

Why?

Because he had to know who was
in on it, who was after him.

I wanted to know
if he'd spoken,

if he'd said anything
that could prove my innocence.

Is that the best
you can come up with?

-It's the truth.
-Well, it sounds...

What? Pathetic?

-Desperate?
-Yeah.

I wasn't even supposed to be
on duty that night.

I was covering.

I did that a lot for
the inspectors with families.

[ Exhales sharply ]

It was my way of trying to
get on, I suppose.

Pathetic.

Desperate.

I need you
to amend your statement, ma'am,

to go on record
with what you've just admitted

regarding the phone call.

I'm happy to.

Just as soon
as you do the same.

Does the deputy chief constable
have a statement to make

regarding the allegation
about his speeding offense

in The Evening Herald?

The subject of this briefing

is the ongoing investigation
into the ambush

in which three police officers
lost their lives.

MAN: Are you still
the best man for the job?

I will give a brief statement.

My wife and I strenuously deny
the allegation.

The fact that in the midst
of what is clearly

a complex and controversial
investigation,

The Herald chooses to trot out
this inaccurate slur...

-Will you resign?
-Is your position untenable?

[ Indistinct shouting ]

MAN:
Is your position untenable?

Have you still got
the chief constable's backing?

Will you be suspended?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Makes a change
from a minging subway.

You all right?
Get you a drink?

No, I better not
have any more.

Have mine.

What's wrong?

[ Sighs ]

Rich Akers
is hiding something.

On the night of the ambush,
he called me.

What'd he call you about?

A message from Jayne.

She needed to speak to me.

About moving the witness?

Why'd you hide it?

Rich and I were involved
behind Jayne's back.

I didn't want it coming out.

[ Sighs ]

Who else you told?

No one.

Keep it that way.

You draw a line around it

and you walk away from it
like it never happened.

-Steve...
-This'd be your career.

You see a life for yourself
outside the job?

No.

And Richard Akers,
he won't blab about this?

He hasn't so far.

Good.

Down that.
I'll get you home.

Lindsay Denton knows.

That's what all that
business was with your phone.

She went through my call
history, using it as leverage.

Your version of events
is Richard Akers called you

because he was
worried about his wife.

It didn't materially
affect the investigation.

-End of.
-Steve, that's a lie.

Maybe there are
some people out there

who always tell the truth
and ones who always lie.

The rest of us
choose our moments.

This is one of them.

The allegation about me
and my wife won't go away.

If you've thrown back
a denial,

often there's a delay
while they get corroboration.

Screw them.

I've got a bigger story
for you.

The person charged in connection
with the ambush --

the 36-year-old woman --
she's a police officer.

Detective Inspector
Lindsay Denton

from the missing persons unit
at 4th Street Station.

She led the convoy
into the ambush...

...and conspired in the witness'
murder at the hospital.

WOMAN: Is it correct

that Detective Inspector
Lindsay Denton

has been charged
with conspiracy to murder?

I'm not going to
be drawn into

elaborating on
press speculation.

God help me,
when I find the leak,

I'm gonna bury the bastard.

How'd they get this?

WOMAN: What's the link between
D.I. Denton and the gunmen?

DRYDEN: No comment.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

[ Keys jingle ]

[ Gate unlocks ]

Have you understood
the safety briefing?

Yeah.

You must complete
two sessions per week

of no less than 15 minutes each

and no more
than 30 minutes each.

Answering yes or no only,
do you understand?

Which machines can I use?

Yes.

[ Gate closes, locks ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Grunting ]

Help me!

No!

No! No!

No!

No!

Bloody hell, Jen.
Quick!

You two, get away from her!

Have a seat.

Look, if anyone finds out,
we're for the high jump.

We'll sort out those two
back there,

and we can keep this
between ourselves?

Yeah, sure.

Cheers.
You're a lifesaver.

Fancy a cuppa?

Yeah.
That'd be really nice, thanks.

Jen, can you do the paperwork
and I'll do the brew?

No problem, Al.
Lindsay...

Is it okay
if I call you Lindsay?

DENTON: Yeah, sure.

Lindsay, could you
pop your hands on the table

next to this diagram
so I can have a look at them?

Milk, sugar?

Yeah, uh,
milk, no sugar, please.

You've got a cracked nail.

Could have been worse,
I suppose.

Thank God it wasn't!

[ Screaming ]

You've been talking to AC-12!

From now on,
you keep your gob shut!

Sir.

Thank you, Ted,
but there's no need.

Hat off.
At ease.

Sir.

I've considered
the pros and cons

with no little deliberation.

You're in
a vulnerable position.

An anti-corruption officer
is more likely than most

to encounter situations

that place him susceptible
to bribery.

Sir.

However, coming to me
as you did

is a mark of your character.

This is possibly the most
morally complex investigation

this force
has ever carried out.

I, for one, would feel
less confident of success

without your guiding hand
on the tiller.

I'd like you to carry on.

I don't know
what to say, sir.

I haven't discussed this
with anyone.

I think the fewer people

know about your situation,
the better.

Very grateful, sir.
Thank you, sir.

Is there anything I can do
to help?

No, no, sir.
No.

The wife and I
are back on track, sir.

Good man.
Glad to hear it.

Charged anyone else while
our backs have been turned?

Very interesting question, sir.

Should I have?

Must be great
up there on that pedestal,

all holier-than-thou.

All the further to fall, mind,

when the truth comes out.

[ Door opens ]

-Les.
-Sir.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Door opens ]

-All right, boss?
-All right.

What you having?

Oh, it's my shout.

Pint of Kronenbourg.
Ta.

I imagine I'm keeping you
from your busy social life.

Could do with a night off.

Seeing that nurse again?

Sir, you and I see
certain things differently.

That doesn't mean
there isn't respect.

Except for my personal views.

Some.

We were married at 18.

She was the only one.

And we waited.
Is that what you don't respect?

I spoke to you, sir,
in the wrong manner.

I apologize.

I'd be grateful
if you could see your way

to putting it behind us.

You would, would you?

Well, I guess
it'd be rude not to.

Don't want to be rude.

[ Sighs ]

I disappointed you, sir.

Sometimes I disappoint myself.

Welcome to the club.

[ Buzzer sounds, gate opens ]

[ Gate closes ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Buzzer sounds ]

[ Gate closes ]

Are you in much pain?

Yes.

What have they said
about your hands?

The medical officer doesn't know
how bad they'll be.

He's referred me
to a specialist.

I'm sorry.

I heard there was a problem
with the CCTV recording.

Conveniently.

D.I. Denton, I'd like to
take a statement from you today

to be included in evidence,
regarding your amendments

to earlier statements
given in evidence.

We had an agreement
about that.

Are you aware the prosecution's

made a public interest immunity
application?

It was brought up
at my bail hearing.

Well, it's been accepted.

They've got nondisclosure
of sensitive evidence.

Included in said sensitive
evidence is my call history.

They can't do that.

I was an undercover officer
gathering evidence against you.

Disclosure of
my communications history

could jeopardize undercover
contacts and future ops.

But that's just not true.
It's a cover-up.

Our legal team did their job.
I'm just here to do mine.

Now, in regards to
the phone call you made --

What, so your phone call
from Akers gets vanished?

Like the CCTV of me
being attacked by two inmates,

like those
same two inmates testifying

that I burned my own hands

and that the prison officers
tried to stop me?

It suits everyone
for me to be silenced.

I'm taking your statement,
aren't I?

Look, this attack,
it's opened my eyes.

I was set up to get involved
in the transfer of the witness.

The newspaper leak about me.
The attack.

And now
the nondisclosure of evidence.

It all makes sense.
Even the screws are involved.

-They said as much.
-They said what?

They said not to talk to you.

What?
What we're doing now?

No one appears
to be stopping it.

No, but...

Look, you've been
badly shaken by the attack.

Maybe it's best I come
when you're feeling better.

No, wait.

Listen to me.

Don't you see
how I've been set up?

Even down to the fact
that AC-12

were prevented from looking
at witness protection.

All you could do
was focus on me.

Now, only somebody at executive
level has that kind of power.

And the only person I told about
the operation was Mike Dryden.

You've lied through your teeth
throughout this investigation.

And now you're using
an exec officer

as a way of tying us in knots.

No, that's not what it is.

Really?

I know Mike Dryden.

You "know" him?

We had an affair.

Five years.

[ Sighs ] And?

And?

He didn't leave his wife,
did he?

You gave him an ultimatum,
and then it was all over.

You and I both know
that you don't have the right

to act superior
over our private lives.

Why are you only
telling us this now?

Because I don't know myself
if it's true.

Why would he do that to me?
I've done nothing to him.

If anything,
I've protected him.

No.
You're a woman scorned.

Not only do you get
your revenge on him,

but you use him as a way of
screwing up our investigation.

Do you believe
that I'm guilty?

I just gather the evidence.
Courts decide.

I get it.
I get it.

It's your way
of dealing with the fact

that you might be putting away
an innocent person.

I think you're guilty.

PRISONERS:

D.C. Fleming.

WOMAN: Jan Evans.

You left a message regarding
the 4th Street duty logs.

Yeah.
Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm seeking information

regarding the rota
for duty inspector

at 4th Street Station
on the night of September 5th.

-You mean...
-Yeah, the night of the ambush.

I have that information on file.
Please hold.

Dot's up to something.

One minute.

EVANS: D.I. Denton covered
the ghost rota

as Inspector Barlow
was reassigned that night.

Who was responsible
for that change?

Hold one second.

Inspector Barlow received
an invitation

to attend a session
of the Crime Executive.

It came directly from Deputy
Chief Constable Dryden's office.

Great. Thank you.

What's going on?

Well?

We've got
the financial forensics back in.

Looks like Jayne Akers
was on the receiving end

of a substantial payment.

-How substantial?
-Upwards of 50 grand.

We need to include Kate.

Akers was her mate.

And Kate's my partner.

Steve.

MERCHANT:
Under Rule 46,

vulnerable persons
must shower alone.

From the dispensers
on the wall,

you're permitted
one measure of soap

and one measure of shampoo.

You must shower
in no longer than six minutes.

[ Voice fading ] Answering only
yes or no, do you understand?

-FLEMING: [ Sighs ]
-ARNOTT: What is it?

Lindsay alleged she was set up
by another police officer.

I've gone back
through her file,

and she served with this officer
for nearly a year

back when she was a D.S.,
working in crime audit.

He was
a chief superintendent.

I've just taken a call
from one of the administrators

at 4th Street Station and...

On the night of the ambush,

this particular officer
caused the rota to be changed --

the change
that put Lindsay Denton

on duty that night.

He was a chief super?
What is he now?

Deputy chief constable.

It's Mike Dryden.

Oh, Jesus bloody Christ.

-FLEMING: Dot...
-Yeah, I need a breather.

One wrong move and we could
all be directing traffic.

[ Sighs ]

Well? Steve?

All right.

But first I need to talk to you
about Jayne Akers.

FLEMING: How are you?

HASTINGS: You do not
have to say anything.

DENTON:
Tickety-boo.

You sit there and you try
and twist some case

out of my misfortunes.

-AKERS: [ Screams ]
-[ Gunshots ]

DENTON: Status zero!
Status zero!

DRYDEN:
Three of our colleagues

have lost their lives
in the line of duty.

DENTON:
All I did was do my job.

HASTINGS: Three of your own
in the morgue because of you.

-No firearms?
-O'NEILL: No backup!

MAN: The officer
plunged five floors

and is reported
to have died.

HASTINGS: D.I. Denton, I am
arresting you for conspiracy.

DENTON: ...take away
the one good thing in my life.

FLEMING: [ Echoing ] I think
you're guilty...

I think you're guilty...
I think you're guilty...

I think you're guilty.

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Exhales slowly ]

No.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

I'm delighted that significant
progress is being made.

The net is closing in.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Buzzer sounds ]

I believe you.
