Original subtitles

FLEMING: Before Danny died, he tried to say something.

Now I reckon what he said was, "List."

I've got a firearm in here! No one enter!

HASTINGS: Investigating former

Chief Superintendent Patrick Fairbank

in respect of not adequately investigating complaints

of child sexual exploitation.

JOE: The things they did to us at Sands View.

FLEMING: Joe? It's okay.

Ma'am, I'm requesting authorization

on an undercover operation.

It'd be against a fellow AC-12 officer.

D.I. Cottan set me up.

As far as the rope goes,

he must have planted it there beforehand.

What happened with the postmortem?

Weren't you supposed to organize it?

ARNOTT: He knew forensics hadn't bothered testing the envelope.

I don't want to get caught between you and D.I. Cottan.

COTTAN: The Caddy is male, under 35.

A detective. A London or South East accent.

I'm sorry, gaffer,

but the finger's pointing at one of our own.

I have a number of concerns

regarding D.S. Arnott's professional conduct.

He's been bearing a firearm 'round the office.

ARNOTT: I've signed the firearm back in.

I'm innocent.

The question is, are you?

COTTAN: He's been accused of having

an improper relationship with a suspect,

of planting evidence against said suspect.

I did not plant evidence!

We agree the best course of action

is for you to be suspended from duty

until these matters can be addressed.

-SIM card? -It's all in there.

The incriminating item I've got on you,

that's my only insurance.

COTTAN: I need to know you've got my back.

Oh, God, yeah.

He's hiding summat.

That lead on Steve.

It looks like it's gonna pan out.

He really did plant that money at Lindsay's.

There's no list here, Steve.

If there's not, Lindsay's gonna get what's coming.

DENTON: I thought it was Steve's car till I saw the registration.

I found Danny Waldron's list.

It didn't make sense for Danny to make a hard copy

of the original list that could be lost or destroyed.

He'd make an online copy.

The VIPs who were abusing boys at Sands View.

[ Tires screech ]

100 grand and you forget about all of this.

That list included.

Why don't you just take the money?!

Because I'm a police officer!

Do not send that message.

Let's see what they all think when I bring in the Caddy.

[ Beeps ]

How long is this going to take?

HASTINGS: Patrick Fairbank,

some new information has come to light

that we'd like to put to you.

P.C. Bindra.

Document 27 is a transcript of a professional tribunal

which took place on the 19th of September, 1998,

in which Oliver Stephens-Lloyd

recorded he'd submitted a list

of names of abusers at Sands View.

Not this list again.

I don't know anything about any list.

Where is this new information?

I think we're done.

Actually, no, if you'd just keep your seat please.

I think we're about to hear some new evidence, thank you.

For the tape, D.C. Fleming has joined the interview.

HASTINGS: Kate.

For the tape, I'm showing the interviewee a video capture,

Item KMF-4.

Who is shown in Item KMF-4?

I refused to take part in any video identification.

You did, which meant we were forced to use a video capture

from your previous interview.

And we are legally entitled to use this image

because your client was notified

that he was going to be questioned

regarding an offense -- misconduct in public office.

In accordance with Paragraph 5, Code D,

of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act,

Item KMF-4, alongside eight other video captures

of unrelated, similar persons,

was shown by an officer independent of this inquiry

to a witness who was a resident

at Sands View Boys' Home in the 1990s.

This witness identified KMF-4 as showing one of the men

who sexually abused him.

These politicians and celebrities,

they couldn't have got away with this

time and time again

without the collusion of police officers.

I mean, I kept asking myself over and over again,

how could they turn a blind eye?

How could they allow these appalling things

to happen to these children?

And of course the answer's as plain as day.

They didn't turn a blind eye. They were in on it!

I'm gonna take this.

This is a list of abusers.

Corroborating the names we've already heard from our witness.

Ronan Murphy.

Linus Murphy.

Dale Roach.

Tommy Hunter.

And Patrick Fairbank.

Patrick Fairbank, I am arresting you

for aggravated indecent assault

in that this offense occurred before May the 1st, 2004,

with a child or children under the age of 13...

...perverting the course of justice,

and misconduct in public office.

Sir.

Well done.

Well done yourself.

Custody arranged at Polk Avenue.

You think you've got me?

You haven't got a clue.

I hope you like the outdoors,

because you are going to be directing traffic

till the end of your sad little career.

Bitch.

DENTON: This is Lindsay Denton.

Please leave a message after the tone.

[ Beep ]

Shit.

D.S. Arnott, I need to report the theft of my service vehicle.

Taxi!

Yeah. 5... 5 Kingsgate Apartments.

Yeah.

D.S. Arnott. I need the key to Lindsay Denton's room.

MAN: Sir.

[ Police radio chatter ]

Mother of God.

This is Lindsay Denton.

Please leave a message after the tone.

[ Beep ]

I know you nicked my pocket book.

-I don't know where you are -- -[ Click ]

[ Thud ]

-Armed police! -Armed police!

I'm AC-12! I'm AC-12!

You! Keep your hands above your head!

-I'm police. -Down on your knees!

-Just calm down. I'm police. -Stop talking and stay still.

My I.D.'s in my jacket. I'm AC-12.

Stop talking and stay still.

Lose the phone.

Get everyone out.

MAN: All right, everyone out!

You've got the wrong guy.

All clear, sir.

Dot?

Steven Arnott, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of murdering Lindsay Denton.

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

if you do not mention when questioned

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

-What's going on? -You know.

Just keep your mouth shut till you get a lawyer.

I'm trying to do you a favor. Get him out.

D.I. Cottan, D.S. Arnott.

You all right to book him in for me?

You need to take his clothes for forensics

before he goes in his cell.

Steven Arnott, I'm satisfied that your arrest is lawful.

I'm authorizing your detention in this police station

in order that we can secure and preserve evidence

in this investigation

and to obtain evidence from you by questioning.

I will also speak to an inspector

to authorize you being held incommunicado at this time,

delaying your right to have anyone told you're here

or to make any calls.

Do you understand?

D.S. Arnott, can you account for your whereabouts

between 0800 and 1200 hours on July the 17th this year?

I was at home.

This would be your home address, Flat 5, Kingsgate Apartments?

Yes.

Who were you with?

Between those hours, I was alone.

And your girlfriend, D.S. Samantha Railston,

where was she?

Sam left early for work, around 06:30.

I was alone in the flat, but I made phone calls.

They'll prove where I was.

Document 3 in your folders.

Document 3 is a photocopy of Item Reference ASJ-3,

telecommunications record

for mobile telephone 07591 152 425

registered to Steven Arnott.

Three calls are shown.

Can you tell us what was happening with these calls?

[ Sighs ]

I'd realized Lindsay had stolen my pocket book.

I called her from my flat,

but it went straight to her voicemail.

I went to her approved premises to try and track her down,

but she wasn't there, so I tried calling her again.

And the call to the AC-12 switchboard?

To report the theft of my service vehicle.

HASTINGS: Thank you.

When was the last time you saw Lindsay Denton alive?

The night before. My flat.

Lindsay had a theory that Danny Waldron

left a list of abusers in a graveyard.

We were searching online burial records for a name

that might have been a memorable association for Danny.

She left my flat, and I went to the graveyard alone.

It must have been while she was in my flat

that she took my pocket book.

At this time, myself and D.I. Cottan

were carrying out direct surveillance

on Steve Arnott's flat,

authorized by Superintendent Hastings

under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

Noted.

We saw you and Lindsay split up.

Now, after you'd left,

she looked like the cat who'd got the cream.

She sent you off on a wild goose chase

while she went and cracked the case.

'Cause actually Danny had hidden the list online.

She found the list?

She did indeed.

You've got to hand it to her. She got the job done.

And she made a total mug of you.

And these phone calls we've been talking about,

they're all around noon onwards.

None of them corroborate

you being in your flat before that time.

The proprietor of the Internet caf --

Now, she reckons she saw Denton leave around 11:00, 11:30.

She didn't see where Denton went or who she met,

and we've no information on her whereabouts

till her body was discovered at 12:30.

But you were at home all this time?

Yes, sir.

So, what were you doing all this time?

D.S. Arnott?

I slept.

You had a kip? Seriously?

I'd been up most of the night.

You didn't think of calling her straightaway?

No, sir.

She'd sent you to this graveyard on a fool's errand,

stolen your pocket book.

COTTAN: I'd have been after her like a shot.

You, you're stuck to your sofa

watching "Homes Under the Hammer."

I got home late.

Sam -- my girlfriend -- and I, we had a row.

I had some wine, and I fell asleep on the sofa.

I overslept.

As soon as I realized my pocket book was gone,

I took action.

Still, you were sorely pissed off with her, weren't you?

D.S. Arnott is simply stating the facts.

Oh, right. So you weren't pissed off with her?

In the early hours of the 17th, I followed Mr. Arnott

to the graveyard of St. Barnabas Church,

in which he stated,

"If there's no list here,

then Lindsay's gonna get what's coming."

HASTINGS: Can you tell us what you meant by those words?

I was angry.

Angry with Kate. Angry with Lindsay.

I didn't mean anything.

HASTINGS: But you do admit that you were angry with Lindsay?

Oh, those words go way beyond angry.

I didn't kill Lindsay.

At her trial, Lindsay testified

that there was a sexual relationship between you.

The relevant section for the transcript is Document 46.

I don't need a transcript. She was lying.

Data retrieval from Lindsay's mobile

resulted in detection of the following file,

Item Reference MKJ-32.

For the tape, I will now play MKJ-32.

[ Beeps ]

[ Heavy breathing ]

ARNOTT: That okay?

DENTON: Yeah.

[ Heavy breathing continues ]

ARNOTT: You okay?

DENTON: Yeah.

[ Heavy breathing continues ]

[ Beeps ]

Do you recognize the voices on this audio file?

Me and Lindsay.

And can you tell us where the recording was made?

In her bedroom.

HASTINGS: And were you aware at the time

that this recording was being made?

No, sir, I wasn't.

As D.S. Arnott didn't give his permission,

the recording was illegal.

Still, it's not a nice thing to do someone, that.

Just another thing she did

to put a few more winds on your clock, eh?

Time and time again you denied any impropriety.

What you can't know is that we were both almost fully clothed,

and the file's been abridged.

If you'd had the opportunity to continue listening,

you'd have heard that we stopped through mutual consent.

Stopped what?

There was some kissing, some touching.

Lindsay became upset, and I comforted her.

Sir, I give you my word,

Lindsay Denton and I did not have sex.

Your word.

COTTAN: Look, whatever your version is of that audio file,

sounds like you pair went way beyond the professional.

And then she used it to discredit your case against her.

Now, I don't know many blokes

who wouldn't be angry about that.

And thanks to her accusations, you were suspended,

your career potentially in ruins.

Now, for the tape, on-screen is Image 5.

Image 5 is a crime scene photograph

taken at 12:45 on July 17th

showing the body of Lindsay Denton.

Image 8.

That's my car.

Image 8 is a crime-scene photograph showing the vehicle

in which Lindsay Denton's body was found.

It's a dark gray Volvo S60.

HASTINGS: You agree it's your car?

As I've said, sir, I reported my vehicle stolen.

FLEMING: Document 6 in your folders.

Document 6 is a photocopy of Item Reference IKL-1.

IKL-1 is the log for service vehicles.

On July 1st, you signed out service vehicle

Foxtrot Juliet One Four Romeo Charlie Zulu,

and it was never signed back in.

You should have. The second you were suspended.

COTTAN: It's a perk of the job.

Didn't want to give up the motor.

HASTINGS: So it's a matter of fact that this vehicle

was in your possession at the time of the murder.

The fact, sir, is someone stole the vehicle.

And you reported it stolen when?

In the call made to the AC-12 switchboard at 11:59.

Yeah, but Lindsay was last seen alive up to an hour earlier,

at the Internet caf.

Now, that is plenty of time for you to get home

and report your car stolen.

I reported the theft as soon as I realized.

The car must have been stolen earlier.

I see.

COTTAN: Document 7 is a copy of the pathologist's report

following a postmortem examination of Lindsay Denton.

And the cause of death

was a single gunshot wound to the head.

Image 6.

Image 6 is a forensic photograph of Item Reference NJC-4.

Item NJC-4 is a bullet found lodged

in the passenger-side trim of service vehicle

Foxtrot Juliet One Four Romeo Charlie Zulu.

NJC-4 has been identified as a 9x19mm Parabellum round.

Image 13.

Image 13 shows Item Reference SCS-9.

SCS-9 is a service-issue firearm,

Glock 17 pistol serial number November Mike 8494748.

The Glock 17 was found a short distance from the vehicle

containing the body of Lindsay Denton.

Document 11 in your folders, also on-screen.

Document 11 is the firearms issue log

from South Ferry Armory.

You'll see a highlighted entry on the morning of July 13th

relating to said Glock 17 serial number

November Mike 8494748.

Said firearm was never returned.

ARNOTT: No.

I returned my firearm a few days before Lindsay was murdered.

-Not according to these records. -ARNOTT: No. No.

I returned it.

Ask them at the armory. They'll confirm it.

It's here in black and white, son.

You always follow the regs when it comes to firearms?

D.S. Arnott was seen bearing a firearm within this building

that did not, in my view,

meet satisfactory operational requirement.

On July 13th I gave D.S. Arnott a verbal warning

that he was in breach of Section 7

of the 1968 Firearms Act.

What forensics do you have linking me to the crime scene?

Your car. Your gun. I'd say that's plenty.

Were my fingerprints on the gun?

There were no fingerprints found on the firearm at all.

It appeared to have been wiped.

Right. So no prints.

Lindsay Denton was shot at close range.

The vehicle interior shows

a substantial blood-spatter pattern.

Did you find blood particles on me?

At the time of Steve Arnott's arrest,

his clothing was seized for forensic examination.

There were no traces of blood or gunshot residue detected.

COTTAN: Yes, but anyone with half a brain

covered in blood and gunshot residue

would know to dispose of his clothing.

-So where's this clothing? -You tell us.

Why would I shoot Lindsay in my own car?

I'd know the forensics would be totally incriminating.

-Correct. They are. -So I wouldn't have done it!

HASTINGS: Come on, you were at the end of your tether

with Lindsay Denton.

She'd betrayed you, manipulated you, deceived you,

and finally she discredited you.

You weren't thinking straight.

So I used my service-issue firearm

that I left at the scene?

And I used my registered service vehicle?

I mean, that's just stupid!

You panicked.

You left your bullet and the casing,

and you didn't do a good enough job disposing of the gun.

Then you cobbled together some story

about your motor being nicked.

In fact, the only thing you didn't make a hash of

was the bloodstained clothing.

That's not what happened.

Image 22 shows Item Reference EDC-3,

found in said service vehicle.

Can you tell us what item EDC-3 is?

My pocket book.

And is that the one stolen by Lindsay?

Yes, sir.

So you went after her to get it back,

things got out of hand,

and in your panic you didn't even remember to take it.

I didn't take it because I wasn't there!

HASTINGS: Yeah, so you've said.

Is there anyone -- anyone -- that we can talk to

who will bear witness to the fact

that you were at home during the time

of Lindsay Denton's murder?

I had my issues with Lindsay Denton.

I can't deny that. But I wouldn't kill her.

So you've said.

I didn't have that gun.

So if I didn't return it,

why didn't anyone try and recover it?

D.S. Arnott's asked a very important question.

Yes, well I admit, there was a failure to do due diligence

in the part of the officers at South Ferry Armory.

But I've written to the strategic firearms commander,

making my feelings on the matter abundantly clear,

and I can assure you disciplinary action will --

No one realized because I had returned the firearm!

Someone must have access to the booking-out forms

and replaced the real one --

the one showing I surrendered the gun -- with a forgery.

Yeah, but this same someone would have to have signed out

the same gun that was used in the murder.

And where's the record of that?

It's the same thing, sir --

stolen so no one can track who's got the weapon.

All right, let me get this straight, D.S. Arnott.

What you're saying is that some impostor acquired the firearm

and then tampered with the paperwork to cover his tracks?

Yes, sir.

Obviously the same person

who stole my service vehicle that morning.

So your defense is, "It wasn't me.

It was just some random impostor."

No. Not random.

To know it's extremely difficult to steal a service-issue firearm

but not actually all that difficult

to fake the paperwork, that takes inside knowledge.

This was done by a police officer.

COTTAN: Oh, but apparently it's a piece of cake

to steal a service-issue vehicle fitted with deadlocks

and an immobilizer?

I have to say this is all sounding a bit far-fetched, son.

There's a parallel in this case, sir.

Ever since we started investigating Danny Waldron --

first his shooting of Ronan Murphy,

then Danny's murder --

there have been holes that the evidence

hasn't completely filled,

one of which is the murder of P.C. Rod Kennedy.

COTTAN: Sir, this is a massive tangent.

D.S. Arnott knows we have to charge or release,

and he's playing for time.

Sir, D.I. Cottan was too quick

to close the investigation into Kennedy's murder,

just like he was with his inquiry into the Caddy.

He's doing the same thing here.

He's cutting corners, not challenging evidence robustly,

and I'm the one suffering for his negligence.

Sir, D.S. Arnott's casting aspersions for one reason

and one reason only -- to discredit this case,

to get AC-12 taken off the investigation against him.

See, it's what these coppers do

when you know you've got 'em bang to rights --

exploit their knowledge of the system

to try and tie us in knots.

Look, I'd be really grateful

if we could just stick to the issue in hand here,

which is the murder of Lindsay Denton.

Thank you, sir.

Now, with respect to service vehicle

Foxtrot Juliet One Four Romeo Charlie Zulu,

a forensic search was carried out at the crime scene.

Image 43.

Interior of service vehicle boot.

Image 45.

Image 45 is Item Reference VCT-7.

Do you recognize VCT-7?

My gym bag.

COTTAN: Image 46.

Image 46 shows the contents of VCT-7.

Sports clothing and trainers.

Image 47.

That was not in my bag! What -- What is going on here?!

D.S. Arnott. Please.

Image 47 shows Item Reference VCT-9.

VCT-9 is an unregistered pay-as-you-go mobile phone.

HASTINGS: Your phone, D.S. Arnott?

-No, sir. -"No, sir."

Someone put that there.

VCT-9 is a phone of the type reportedly associated

with covert criminal communications.

That is not my phone.

What the hell is it doing in your gym bag?

D.S. Arnott denies any knowledge of the phone.

There's clearly some irregularity with the search.

My department carries out its searches

to the letter of the law, fella.

The letter.

Document 19 in your folders.

For the tape, this is a partial transcript

of Lindsay Denton's retrial.

Now, at Lindsay Denton's first trial,

she was convicted of conspiracy to murder,

and the prosecution hung on crucial evidence

found at her home address, namely 50 grand in cash

that was linked via financial forensics

to other bribes employed in the conspiracy.

I didn't plant that money.

Image 49.

Image 49 shows Item reference VCT-11.

Now, VCT-11 is a £5 note.

Is that your £5 note?

I don't remember having any money in the bag.

Not your phone, now it's not your money either?

I'm saying I don't recall

if I was carrying any money in the bag.

Fair enough.

It was in the inside pocket.

It's only a fiver. It's easy to forget.

Now, we ran forensics on that £5 note.

Document 20 in your folders.

D.C. Fleming.

FLEMING: For the tape, I'm referring to Document 20.

Document 20 is a photocopy of an original report

made by the financial forensics unit,

Report Sierra Alpha/5657/15.

The summary reads,

"Pollen particles detected on banknote VCT-11

show a close match to pollen particles

detected on banknotes AJK-72."

AJK-72 is the item reference

for the £50,000 found at Lindsay Denton's home.

There is no way!

Look! That is not my money.

A second ago you couldn't even remember.

There is no way that I'd have money

that was from the same source as Lindsay Denton's bribe!

But Lindsay Denton knew you'd planted that evidence,

and she was your most vociferous accuser.

So maybe she was onto this evidence too.

She wasn't onto any evidence.

I mean, she couldn't have known about this.

Oh, right. So you hid it from her?

I didn't mean it like that.

That money would be very hard to come by.

But together with the phone,

this indicates a clear pattern of corrupt conduct.

I am not bent!

This is obviously a very difficult experience, Steve.

Would you like some time alone with your solicitor?

-No. -HASTINGS: Very well.

But, you know, can we all just calm down here

and not let our emotions get the better of us?

Sir.

So, moving on.

In respect of another murder, that of Sergeant Daniel Waldron,

have you any comment to make?

Waldron was murdered by Hari Bains.

Bains confessed, and he intends to plead guilty.

Yeah, well, Bains owed gambling debts to the wrong people.

And we believe they contracted him to kill Waldron.

Indeed.

Significantly, Bains received a call

the night of the 31st of May

from a phone of the type found in your car.

The night before he shot and killed Danny Waldron.

According to Bains, in a statement made on June 30th,

the caller had a London/South East accent.

So?

So was that you?

London and the South East have such small populations,

it could only have been me.

Would you kindly just answer the question, please, D.S. Arnott?

Bains and I met loads of times.

He would have known my voice and been able to identify it.

The call was clearly made by another person unknown.

Yes, and you're familiar with

the putative corrupt police officer,

code name the Caddy?

I am.

D.I. Cottan.

Sir.

Assimilation of all credible witness testimony

based on direct contact with said individual

leads to the following profile.

The Caddy is male.

The Caddy is almost certainly from a working-class background

and grew up in an urban environment.

He's probably under 35.

He is almost certainly a detective.

He's trained in covert operations

such as counter-terrorism.

And all ear witnesses report the Caddy

as having a London or South East accent.

This is insane.

God help me, son, I wish it was.

Sir, that's your evidence?

A profile?

COTTAN: Oh, we've more than just a profile.

Only the Caddy would have had access

to the same source of bribe money

found at Lindsay Denton's house,

the same supply we found some of in your service vehicle boot.

[ Whispering ]

Would you like some more time, D.S. Arnott?

No.

D.I. Cottan originally volunteered

to investigate the Caddy and closed the case prematurely

based on flimsy evidence provided by an old colleague.

Yes, but we're not here to discuss D.I. Cottan.

COTTAN: He's just looking at some angle

to try and discredit this investigation.

I intend to be heard, sir. On the record.

Very well. That's your right.

D.I. Cottan, you carried out the original inquiry into the Caddy.

I did.

That wrongly identified D.C. Jeremy Cole.

Yes.

Based purely on the testimony

of your former colleague, D.C. Nigel Morton.

Yeah, but Morton has since revised his statement

and D.I. Cottan and D.C. Fleming

are reopening that particular inquiry.

You also failed to order a second postmortem

on the body of Rod Kennedy.

My e-mail bounced back, as well you know.

Sir, he's clutching at straws here.

In respect of the original inquiry

into the murder of Sergeant Danny Waldron,

you led a search of Waldron's flat.

I did.

And as part of that search,

you found an envelope addressed to me.

Yes.

And the forensics that you failed to carry out

on the inside of that envelope detected traces of ink and blood

suggesting it contained a note written by Danny Waldron

and presumably intended for me.

No note was ever found.

Danny Waldron saved his list online.

Which we only discovered weeks later

'cause you failed to pursue this lead!

COTTAN: I did not.

The note had been in that envelope!

That's not what was in the envelope!

Item Reference MRC-1.

Item reference MRC-1

is the envelope recovered from Danny Waldron's flat.

And for the tape, Mr. Arnott is quite correct --

It does bear his name.

Item Reference MRC-2 is the contents of the envelope.

Now, this item was entered into evidence separately

for reasons of internal security.

You will see in your folders Document Appendix 1.

It refers to sequestered evidence.

Sequestration of evidence was authorized by Gill Biggeloe,

leading legal counsel to Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

This is what was in the envelope.

Now, for the tape,

I'm showing Mr. Arnott the sequestered evidence,

a white golf tee.

Steve Arnott.

Golf tee.

I think Danny Waldron was trying to tell us something.

Have you got anything further to add, D.S. Arnott?

For the tape, the interviewee is shaking his head.

Steven Arnott, you will remain under arrest

for the murder of Lindsay Denton.

I will now seek guidance from the Crown prosecutor

as to how to charge you for said offense.

You will be taken to a place of custody.

If you are not charged within 24 hours of the original arrest,

you will be released,

however, I will seek the authority

for a 12-hour extension.

Is all this understood?

-Yes, sir. -Interview discontinued.

[ Sighs ]

God help me if I ever get a good night's sleep again.

D.I. Cottan, my office, five minutes.

Sir.

You okay?

That can't have been easy.

Well done.

Sorry.

Just when exactly did you get the idea

of sequestering evidence from me, hmm?

In 35 years, this has been my worst day in the service.

And now this little incident just about caps the whole lot!

Was it your idea to go behind my back?

Or was it yours?

To be fair to D.I. Cottan, he sought me out for guidance.

It was my decision to sequester the evidence

from Danny Waldron's flat

because of its sensitive nature in regard to a fellow officer.

It seemed a bizarre and possibly meaningless find, sir,

but I just had a feeling...

"Feeling"?

...that it might alert Steve.

And if it had have done,

then we wouldn't have had all this other evidence.

Oh, yeah, you're on very thin ice with me, D.I. Cottan.

Are there any other surprises in store?

I hope not, sir.

I hope not too.

Dismissed.

Sir.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

At the time, neither D.I. Cottan nor I

knew if the golf tee was relevant.

Clearly, recent events

have created a more significant context.

Clearly!

Yes, I can see you're angry, Ted.

But the fact that you personally recruited Steve Arnott

did weigh on my decision.

What? You decided that I was going to be biased?

I'm sorry, but at the time it felt like the right decision.

Now, can we just calm down?

I am calm! I'm totally bloody calm!

Look, I know this is abysmal timing,

but former Chief Superintendent Patrick Fairbank's legal team

are applying for the child sex abuse charges to be dropped.

What?

They're saying that he repeatedly stated

in his interviews that,

"I'm not as sharp as I used to be."

Yeah. I know he said that.

They're saying that an independent physician

should have examined his intellectual fitness

for interview.

They're having his G.P. attest he's got senile dementia.

He isn't fit to stand trial.

Mother of God.

D.S. Arnott has to be charged or released today.

Don't delay your call to the Crown prosecutor.

Fine.

Thank you.

[ Door closes ]

Superintendent Hastings for the senior Crown prosecutor please.

Hastings. That's right -- like the battle.

[ Knock on door ]

-Sir. -Come in, come in.

Anything to avoid making this call.

Listen, sir, before you call the Crown prosecutor,

there's some things we need to discuss.

This is a favor to her, not you.

Two minutes.

It's good to see you.

Is there anything I can do?

You can say you don't believe a word of it.

Of course I don't.

Sam...

My DCI has got me on desk duty.

She asked me outright if I was in on it with you.

I'm innocent.

Yeah, I know.

Well, you came.

I'm glad.

I'm sorry about the flat being closed for forensics.

It's fine. I'm at a friend's place.

They've got to release me in a few hours,

so we can be back in soon.

Steve.

I'm sorry.

So which one were you looking at?

Which one were you originally looking at?

That.

You still haven't charged Steve Arnott.

We need more time.

I know it's difficult going after one of your own.

It's what we do for a living.

D.C. Fleming has caused me

to want to reexamine the evidence against Steve Arnott.

Come on, Ted. There's a mountain of evidence.

His gun. The car.

The money. The threat.

Motive, opportunity, means.

FLEMING: During the interview with Steven Arnott,

I identified a number of issues that merit further examination.

Of course you want to believe that Steve's innocent.

Of course you do.

But you're jumping to rash and extremely damaging conclusions.

D.C. Fleming, please.

Ms. Biggeloe, you do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defense if you do not mention --

Excuse me?

Gill, please. This is necessary.

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

if you do not mention when questioned

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

It's been a long day and night. Let's get a grip, Ted.

FLEMING: Did you furnish Superintendent Hastings

with an intelligence file relating to Ronan Murphy,

the suspect shot dead by Sergeant Danny Waldron

on the 13th of May?

I did.

And from who did you obtain that file?

"Whom."

It was supplied to me in confidence,

and to reveal the source

would be a betrayal of that confidence.

Gill, you're under caution.

It would help us enormously if you could provide an answer.

Very well. Show her.

This is a signed authority from Superintendent Summers at AC-3

for me to conduct an undercover operation

against AC-12 officers.

I can see what it is. When did this happen?

I only found out about this this evening.

FLEMING: Under said authority, I obtained evidence

that this file originated from D.S. Nicola Rogerson

at major violent crime.

In a written statement,

D.S. Rogerson claims that the file was requested

by an AC-12 officer.

Did an AC-12 officer furnish you with this file

on condition of anonymity?

Yes.

D.S. Rogerson's copy of the file

did not contain the omissions made to the one you received.

I was given that file in good faith,

and I completely deny tampering with it.

Yeah, well, no one's suggesting you did.

What we're exploring here

is that the alterations were made

by said AC-12 officer.

Now, can you confirm the name

we've heard from Rogerson?

Fine.

Detective Inspector Matthew Cottan.

HASTINGS: [ Sighs ]

He brought you the golf tee,

so we assumed that he would have brought you the file.

Good.

D.C. Fleming, would you kindly excuse us for a moment, please?

Thank you, Kate.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

Matthew Cottan has done a first-rate job

of rooting out a bad apple.

Gill --

As for the file, he knew we were being obstructed,

so he obtained it through unofficial channels.

Yeah? Why didn't he just give it me?

Because he was afraid you'd give him a dressing down

for acting improperly.

Gill.

Even after the time we spent together,

you really don't know me at all.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

This is a video capture taken from a traffic camera

situated on the Kingsgate Expressway

showing traffic at the time indicated

in the top right-hand corner -- 9:46.

Steve's car?

At first glance, yes, but...

-Different reg. -Correct.

Here are more traffic-camera images.

This same vehicle captured

traveling through the city center

on traffic cameras a few minutes apart.

Image enhancement has failed to show who's driving.

Now here's a street map.

This street map shows the locations of the vehicle

at times corresponding to the exact times

of the traffic-camera images.

I'm now gonna add the location of the Internet café

where Lindsay Denton was last seen alive that morning.

Someone was driving the vehicle

to Lindsay's location that morning.

BINDRA: Yeah.

And previous to the Internet café,

Lindsay Denton was last seen

at her approved premises the night before.

I'm now gonna add the location of the approved premises.

There's an hour's delay

in the timeline of the vehicle's movements,

suggesting it hung around the approved premises

during this time.

So Lindsay was followed to the Internet café?

Looks like it, sir.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the same time

that Steve said that he was home alone.

Yes, that's correct, sir. Steve doesn't have an alibi.

So it could be him driving that vehicle.

One final thing.

I've identified this registration

as belonging to another make and model entirely.

They're fake plates.

HASTINGS: Well done. Well done.

I think you better get that wee one home.

And thanks very much for coming in.

Why would Steve be driving his own car with fake plates?

To hide his movements.

It doesn't make sense, sir.

She wouldn't have got in the car.

If Steve turned up with fake plates,

she'd have known he was up to something.

-She would never get in. -Maybe she just didn't see it.

We all know Lindsay, sir. She never missed a thing.

Sorry, Kate, you couldn't give us a hand with the lift?

Yeah, sure.

Off the record,

D.I. Cottan put pressure on me not to tell Steve

about the additional forensics on the envelope

found in Danny Waldron's flat.

Cheers, Maneet.

-He's here, sir. -And?

Well, I can't say he's very happy.

D.C. Morton, would you mind coming with us?

D.C. Morton?

I'm not coming anywhere till I get some assurances.

Assurances of what?

Four things.

I-mmu-ni-ty.

Sir.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

D.I. Cottan.

Questions about what, sir?

And when do you want to do this, sir?

No. No, I'm happy to assist.

[ Shaver buzzing ]

All right.

Let's do this.

Morning.

A word to the wise.

Arnott or Cottan, if either turns out to be a bad apple,

he's acting alone.

They can't be connected to any wider conspiracy.

I see.

And Patrick Fairbank the same?

We feel his legal team have a strong case.

His dementia precludes a trial.

He might have forgotten some important details.

Exactly.

Or worse still,

he might remember them.

What are you saying?

You see, I finally understand

why you were appointed by the PCC.

I'm the loose cannon here.

You know, if I see a bent copper,

I'll go after him irrespective of rank or political expediency.

I'm not gonna apologize for having one eye on P.R.

Anti-corruption is a double-edged sword.

We need to find just enough bent coppers

to avoid accusations of a cover-up,

but not so many that the public starts to wonder

if the police can be trusted.

So we let Patrick Fairbank just slip through the net

because of all the peers and the politicians

and the police officers he might implicate?

Meanwhile we go back to chasing disc jockeys

and, what, game-show hosts?

I'm just doing my job.

And I'm doing mine.

And it's called nicking bent coppers.

And I don't care whether it's one rotten apple

or the whole bloody barrel.

There's a line. It's called right and wrong.

And I know which side my duty lies.

So why don't you write

a nice letter of resignation to the PCC,

or I swear to God,

I will drag you down with the rest of them.

In last night's interview of D.S. Arnott,

you produced a piece of evidence,

Item Reference MRC-2,

namely the golf tee in the envelope

found at Danny Waldron's flat.

I wonder if you could explain in a little bit more detail

how you came by this piece of evidence.

I'm not sure I understand what you're driving at, sir?

Well, there were half a dozen of you on that search.

How come no one else saw it?

Did you swear them all to secrecy or what?

Oh, I see, sir. Uh, no.

What happened was, we detected an illegal firearm.

I sent an officer

to bring someone with firearms training urgently

so as to secure the firearm.

I had a legitimate concern it wasn't safe

or it was booby-trapped.

And it was then that I saw the golf tee in the envelope.

So...

...with no one else watching you,

you seized this piece of evidence?

Yes, sir.

Did you order forensics on the golf tee?

I did, but there were no notable findings.

Did you order forensics on the inside of the envelope?

-Yes, sir. -When?

Well, this was something we omitted in the first instance

but rectified as the inquiry progressed.

Did you put pressure on a junior rank

not to disclose the forensics to D.S. Arnott?

-Yes. -Why?

Steve Arnott was concocting accusations

I wasn't doing my job properly.

I didn't want to give him any ammunition.

So you actually missed a crucial piece of evidence.

Well...

Forensics detected ink and blood on the inside of that envelope.

That suggests there was

a bloodstained note inside the envelope.

There wasn't, though.

No ink or blood on the golf tee?

HASTINGS: So, what?

Danny Waldron must have put it in there

after he'd removed the note?

Look, this note --

Some people have been making a mountain out of a mole hill.

If it was such an issue,

why didn't I just pocket the envelope,

and no one would be any the wiser?

Which I didn't do, by the way.

Maybe the envelope had already been seen

by somebody else on the search team,

but the contents hadn't.

I found a golf tee.

I remained in the vicinity of the firearm

until an officer arrived to make it safe.

Now, if that note went walkabout,

it's because Danny Waldron moved it before we got there.

In the end, missing the forensics

made no difference to the inquiry whatsoever.

That's one of the things

we're here to determine, D.I. Cottan,

and I'll be the judge of that, thank you.

D.C. Fleming. Moving on.

Item Reference EGH-1.

EGH-1 is an intelligence file on Ronan Murphy,

the suspect shot dead by Danny Waldron.

It's where this whole inquiry started,

and it omitted information

that would have allowed us to connect Ronan Murphy

to known high-ranking criminal Tommy Hunter

and the cover-up of historic child sexual abuse.

D.I. Cottan, have you seen this file before?

Yes, sir.

And who provided you with access to this file?

You did, sir.

You see, my particular concern here, D.I. Cottan,

is if you were familiar with this file

before I gave you access.

Do you have an answer, D.I. Cottan?

Yes, I was familiar with the file.

HASTINGS: Yes.

And how were you familiar with it?

I acquired the file

from a former major violent crime officer

involved in the investigation into the murder of Tommy Hunter.

D.S. Rogerson.

I then passed it over to Gill Biggeloe.

Yet not to me?

Not to D.S. Arnott? Not to D.C. Fleming?

Well, I wanted to avoid Steven Arnott.

I think we all know why.

That file had crucial pieces of information removed

and held this inquiry back for weeks.

Well, I'm sorry about that, sir,

but I took that file at face value, in good faith.

And when we found out about the missing information,

why didn't you say something?

You should have been shouting that from the rafters, man!

No, sir. No. I didn't have the evidence yet.

And I didn't want to alert them beforehand.

Alert who?

Don't you see, sir?

D.S. Rogerson is a former girlfriend of D.S. Arnott.

I'm sorry, sir.

Weren't you aware of the relationship

between Rogerson and Arnott?

No. I wasn't.

You should have told him, D.C. Fleming,

spare the gaffer his blushes.

The only person known to have handled that file

apart from D.S. Rogerson is you, not D.S. Arnott.

Well, the pair of them must have hatched a plot

to alter the file.

D.S. Rogerson denies altering the file.

Yeah, well, she would, wouldn't she?

Look, it sounds to me like

this is another one to throw at Steven Arnott.

Yeah, well I'm still exercised by the fact

that you didn't mention any of this sooner.

Yeah, well, I don't cast aspersions on fellow officers

unless I can back it up with hard evidence.

Unlike some I could mention.

D.C. Fleming.

On-screen you'll see evidence gathered

in the case against Harinderpal Bains.

Images 291 and 292, showing Item Reference MR-3 and MR-4.

MR-3 and MR-4 are unregistered mobile phones

recovered from Hari Bains' home.

Sir, what is this?

One of our own's about to be charged with murder.

I think we're entitled to ask a few questions, don't you?

Yeah. No, no, of course. Whatever I can do to help.

These phones were provided to Bains,

and he used them to communicate with the Caddy.

A similar type of phone

was recovered from the boot of D.S. Arnott's car.

Yeah, well, these are matters of fact

in the case against Steven Arnott.

Yeah, well, I'm just making sure

we all understand the facts as they stand.

We'll return to the phones shortly.

Now, in last night's interview of D.S. Arnott,

you stated that you'd attempted to order

a second postmortem on the body of P.C. Rod Kennedy.

A search of e-mail records found no e-mail from you

to the pathologist's office requesting said postmortem.

HASTINGS: D.I. Cottan?

[ Exhales sharply ]

Sir? Seriously?

Look, you know what the I.T. system's like in this building.

Just because it's not on the server,

that does not mean I didn't send it.

As a matter of fact, D.I. Cottan,

what I'm seeing here is a -- is a pattern.

A pattern of failure to discharge your responsibilities

as a senior detective.

I mean, you should have been chasing up that postmortem.

No. You're absolutely right, sir.

And what's worse is Kate had made a specific point

of asking me and all.

I was beside myself when I realized,

and I apologize unreservedly for my error.

But you see, D.I. Cottan,

it raises the distinct possibility

that you were somehow reluctant to seek confirmation

that Kennedy wasn't a suicide,

that he was, in fact, murdered.

Well, I was very pleased with that information, sir,

as it was instrumental in our arrest of Bains,

for which I won a commendation.

HASTINGS: Let's just stay with Hari Bains for a second.

He leveled some very disturbing allegations

against you, D.I. Cottan, wouldn't you agree?

Which I strenuously deny.

And for which there's zero evidence.

Yeah.

Well, we carried out a search of your service vehicle.

What?

Now, I'm doing very well to avoid blowing my top here.

This is out of order.

And as you well know, completely illegal

under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984,

as D.I. Cottan is neither under arrest

nor charged with an offense.

Yes, well, said illegality would only apply

if it was D.I. Cottan's personal vehicle.

His service vehicle is owned by the police,

and as such we are entitled to search it

without any form of authority.

Still, in my view we've reached the point where either you stop

or you caution my client.

D.I. Cottan, stay right there.

You do not have to say anything,

however, it may harm your defense

if you fail to mention something under questioning

that you later go on to rely on in court.

And of course, anything you do say may be used in evidence.

Thank you.

Now, what the hell are you doing searching my car?

This is a signed authority from Superintendent Summers at AC-3

to investigate AC-12 officers

based on concerns raised by D.C. Fleming.

Kate?

Just doing our job here. There's nothing personal.

Kate was obviously investigating Steven Arnott, not me.

The signed authority from Superintendent Summers

is a bit like grandma's nightgown --

It covers everything.

D.C. Fleming,

the search of D.I. Cottan's service vehicle, if you please.

FLEMING: Sir.

Service vehicle November Juliet Zero Seven Zulu Foxtrot Whiskey

was examined forensically, with one notable finding.

Item GBS-8 is a number of synthetic fibers.

"Comparison of fibers from GBS-8 and NTW-7

finds multiple chemical correlations

that imply a very strong likelihood

the materials derive from the same original source."

"The same original source."

NTW-7 is the item reference assigned to the rope

found at the industrial unit where Hari Bains was arrested.

HASTINGS: The noose had been in your boot.

The noose that you claimed

Hari Bains was gonna hang you with.

What the forensics are suggesting

is that you planted it there in that industrial unit

to falsely incriminate Bains for Kennedy's murder.

Bains had handled the rope when he prepared the noose.

Bains and I had a scuffle

in which he attempted to overpower me.

Fibers transferred onto me.

Those fibers were then transferred

into my service vehicle the next morning when I clocked on.

They were in the boot, nowhere else.

The first thing I do before I get in the motor

is sling my coat and briefcase in the boot.

Now, if those fibers were going to end up anywhere,

that is exactly where they'd be found.

Are you covering for the real murderer of Rod Kennedy?

No, I'm not.

Were you involved in murdering Rod Kennedy?

No, I wasn't.

[ Clears throat ]

Returning to the mobile phones.

Happy to.

On-screen, Image 104.

Image 104 shows Item Reference KMF-13,

an unregistered mobile phone,

and Item Reference KMF-14

is a subscriber identification module.

Do you recognize these items?

-No. -HASTINGS: "No"?

I'll give you "no."

These items were submitted to us in evidence

by a witness who alleges that they do, or did, belong to you.

Well, then the witness is mistaken.

Analysis of said subscriber identification module KMF-14

revealed no activity since October 2014.

All communications up to and including that date

appeared to relate to other unregistered users.

Right, so you've got a phone that doesn't belong to me

and a load of mysterious calls.

Pardon me if I don't see the significance.

On-screen, Image 909.

Image 909 is Item Reference SJP-32.

It was detected in the boot of a vehicle

found at the Edge Park Golf Club in July of 2012.

The vehicle is registered to Alex Campbell,

the alias being used at the time by one John Thomas Hunter.

Now, it was known Tommy Hunter used numerous such phones

to conduct his criminal activities.

But this particular phone is of interest to us

because of a call made on the 8th of July of 2012

at around midnight

was from Hunter's phone to yours.

And that's the significance, fella, in black and white.

I've no connection with this phone

or SIM card you've been given,

and I've certainly no connection to Hunter.

So how come we're being told this phone belongs to you?

This witness you've got,

I bet he said he found this phone in my service vehicle

a couple of years back.

Yeah, well, I can neither confirm nor deny.

Yeah, well, I can confirm

that he sat on this so-called evidence for a long time.

I reckon he also told you he conned me

into taking the wrong SIM card back

while he held on to the real McCoy.

Yeah, well, as I said, I can neither confirm nor deny.

Is there anything you've got linking me to these items?

Mm?

Something like forensic evidence?

I did leave my phone in my service vehicle.

And I was very grateful when D.C. Morton --

and let's not be coy about names --

returned it to me.

Now, I've no idea where this other SIM card has come from.

But D.C. Morton informed us that it was you who induced him

to mislead the original inquiry about the Caddy,

that it was you, D.I. Cottan,

who suggested attributing the nickname

to a deceased police officer.

Well, that's just not true, sir.

It was D.C. Morton who did the misleading.

He's the one that's been falsely claiming disability benefits.

Now, he'll say anything to cling on to his pension,

anything at all.

The man is a completely unreliable witness.

D.I. Cottan, where were you on the morning of July 17th?

You're asking me where I was

when Lindsay Denton was murdered?

100% that's what she's asking you.

You need to demonstrate some legal basis for that question,

or I suggest you withdraw it immediately.

Kate, bring up the next item and the map.

FLEMING: Item Reference MB-1 to MB-5.

Traffic cameras captured images of this vehicle

on the morning of Lindsay's murder.

Identical make, model, and color as Steve Arnott's

but with different registration.

It was driven on the route

matching Lindsay's location that morning.

The registration proved to be false.

We're curious about the logic here.

The logic?

Steve Arnott takes the trouble to disguise the vehicle,

but there were no fake plates found

where Lindsay's body was discovered.

I mean, why would Steve remove the fake plates

and then leave Lindsay's body

lying in the front passenger seat for all the world to find?

Well, my hypothesis would be

Steven Arnott only meant to abduct Lindsay Denton.

Something went wrong, he killed her, he panicked.

Would Lindsay really have got into Steve's car

if she'd seen it was displaying fake plates?

Everyone makes mistakes.

Indeed we do, D.I. Cottan.

Are there any witnesses

that saw Steve's car being stolen, as he claimed?

Hmm?

Any witnesses that saw anyone else driving the vehicle?

I think these are questions for Steven Arnott, not me.

D.C. Fleming.

Steve Arnott insists he returned his firearm

four days before Lindsay's murder.

The booking-out officer at South Ferry Armory

corroborates Steve's story.

The booking-out officer's covering his own ass.

Yeah, well, an impostor could have obtained the murder weapon

and then forged the paperwork to make it appear

that Steve Arnott's firearm had the same serial number

as the murder weapon and that he never returned it.

That's an interesting theory.

But it couldn't have been me. I'm not an AFO.

How would I have obtained the murder weapon?

The Caddy commands a network of corrupt officers.

He does.

But Steve Arnott's the Caddy, not me.

You've thought that since before Lindsay's murder.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

In fact you made a call to me

the night before Lindsay's murder.

You called me after you'd observed Lindsay Denton

return to her approved premises.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

At 15 minutes after midnight,

you called me from your mobile, and you said,

"That lead on Steve. Looks like it's gonna pan out.

He really did plant the money at Lindsay's.

Sorry.

I thought you'd want to know

before it becomes common knowledge."

HASTINGS: Did you make that call, D.I. Cottan?

Uh [Clears throat] yeah.

Yeah, so what was the lead that was gonna pan out?

Um...

Well, it couldn't have been the money in Steve's gym bag

because that wasn't discovered until the forensics carried out

a search of the service vehicle the next day.

Arnott was behaving suspiciously,

and I wanted to give Kate a heads-up

as they've been partners for a long time.

Oh, well, that's very considerate of you,

but I will ask you for a second time, what was the lead?

Um...

I'd glimpsed some banknotes in his gym bag.

I intended to investigate.

When did you see the banknotes?

Earlier that day.

But how could you have known

that forensics would connect them

to the money planted at Lindsay's?

D.I. Cottan, were you able to forewarn Kate

because you had a scheme in mind

where you were gonna plant that money

in Steve's service vehicle?

No. No. Absolutely not.

FLEMING: That's how the service vehicle was stolen.

You cloned the key and were plotting to use it

to plant evidence against Steve.

No. No. Absolutely not.

HASTINGS: D.I. Cottan,

I think we've earned the right to ask you the question --

Will you kindly tell us your whereabouts

between 10:00 and 11:00 that morning?

Well, I really don't have to answer that question.

Don't you?

This is a voluntary interview,

and I'm only cooperating

out of my lawful duty as a police officer

to assist in a criminal inquiry.

Indeed you are. Indeed you are.

We can call a halt to the proceedings right there

and leave this question hanging over you and your career.

Or you can stick your hand up and offer us an answer

and exclude yourself from our inquiry.

It's entirely your decision.

Take your time.

[ Clears throat ]

I was at my flat.

I'd had a late night on surveillance,

and I needed to catch up on some kip.

So you were in during those hours?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Say that again.

You just said you were in your flat.

We have that on tape.

Uh...

It's a very simple matter, D.I. Cottan.

D.I. Cottan has answered. Haven't you, D.I. Cottan?

You've mentioned when questioned

something you later intend to rely on in court.

Yeah, look, I -- Uh...

Sorry. I may have got that wrong.

Uh...

I just need to think.

Um...

I'd -- I'd been up late and...

Take your time. Take your time.

Look, I-I, uh -- I need to think about that one.

HASTINGS: Absolutely. Absolutely.

Maybe I could just check my calendar.

HASTINGS: Yeah, yeah.

You wouldn't have entered my flat, would you, Kate?

I mean, alone.

Tend to this wounded man here! Quick!

-MAN: Sir! -Kate, you all right?!

Someone start CPR!

I want this building locked down!

-[ Alarm blaring ] -Open the door!

Don't move!

Give me your Glock!

There's a pickup point. It's all arranged.

[ Tires screech ]

-Get back! -Move!

Stop! Stop! Armed police!

Keep driving as fast as you can.

MAN: Okay.

It looks like they're gonna go left.

Go with them.

Keep up with them.

Keep going. Keep going.

Right. Drive on!

Shit.

Get back! Back!

-[ Cellphone rings ] -MAN: Two males, one armed.

IC1, dark hair, 6'5".

Kate?

Suspects heading north off Kingsgate high street.

North off Kingsgate high street!

Kate, listen to me.

Maintain visual contact but do not approach.

We have an armed response unit on the way.

Repeat -- Do not approach.

Sir.

Armed police!

Drop your weapon!

Drop yours!

Kate, sit rep.

One suspect down. Repeat -- One suspect down.

Second suspect heading to Moss Heath flyover.

Moss Heath flyover!

Okay, so which one of them is still up and running?

Dot.

What can I do to help, sir?

Good girl. Get on to the SFC.

I need to know where those armed response units are.

Strategic firearms commander.

Shit.

Drop you gun! Drop your phone!

Kate.

Drop 'em! Hands over your head!

They're not here for you, then?

Not yet. But they will be.

My advice -- Run now while you can.

I am too knackered to run. Drop the gun!

You went into my flat that morning.

You saw I wasn't there?

Maybe. Maybe not.

When did you know?

That'd be telling.

Well, now I see why we never slept together.

It wasn't that I didn't want to.

-Please go now, while it's safe. -I get it.

Steve Arnott's the Caddy, so you can retire.

Yeah. Something like that, yeah.

They picked you, groomed you, guided your career.

You know everything.

What are you gonna do now, just stop?

What do you think they're gonna do?

There's only one way you can put this behind you.

Kate, I know what I'm doing.

Patrick Fairbank.

They're saying he's gonna get off the child abuse charges.

You know names, dates, places.

You know all about monsters like him.

Confess.

Give us the names of all the people

that have ruined all these people's lives,

all these monsters you've protected!

Do the right thing.

Confess.

Tell us everything.

Aah!

Go! Go!

[ Engine revs, tires screech ]

P.C. Bindra, AC-12.

I am still awaiting the requested information.

HASTINGS: Be on, everybody.

One of our own's out there in harm's way.

I need to know what's going on!

Our officer's at Moss Heath flyover.

We need a location on those armed units, sir.

[ Tires screech ]

[ Car alarm blaring ]

WOMAN: We need an ambulance!

Armed police! Get back!

Get back!

Dot, drop the gun!

Put it down!

-No! -[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

Armed police! Drop your weapon! On the ground!

-Hands behind your head! -I'm AC-12!

-Everyone back! -AC-12!

Everyone get back now!

WOMAN: ...urgent paramedic support.

MAN: Request urgent armed support.

Get away from him!

I'm taking his dying declaration!

Now, Sergeant, you will stand down!

Suspect down. Believed to be...

[ Beeps ]

Come on, Dot. Say it.

Come on, Dot.

Fairbank...

Yeah.

You're free to go.

Kate?

Who else would it be?

Thanks, mate.

Come on. Let's get you home.

Good shot, sir.

[ Siren wails ]

[ Cheering ]

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Job very well done.

-Good work. -Thank you.

Well done, Kate!

Congratulations!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Steve.

Kate.
