My stop's right over there.

Don't miss this one.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Ciao.

No... Wait! Wait!

Christ!

Police.

- (Tyres screeching)
- Let me go.

No. No. No! Let me go!

(She grunts)

Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

(Urgent chatter)

(Phone rings)

I'll get that, shall I?

Have you even done
your homework yet, Ollie?

- Hello.
- Sorry to trouble you, ma'am,

but we've picked up
a bystander triple-nine

on an abduction of a young
female in the Moss Heath area.

- They've got all-patrols obs?
- Yes, ma'am.

Make sure obs goes to
surrounding forces.

I'll patch in en route.
I'm coming in.

- Sorry to call you at home.
- No, this is what we needed.

We've been looking for months.
We're gonna get this bastard!

- Come on, let's go.
- Go, go, go!

- Nick, where are you?
- Sorry. Meeting overran.

I've got the call.
You're not home.

- I'm ten minutes away.
- OK.

The kids are waiting for you.
And I put the bins out.

(Siren wails)

(Lively chatter)

(Siren off)

Ma'am.

DCI Huntley.

- Is it the vehicle?
- Reported stolen this morning.

The bystander witness described

a suspect of average height
and build

- wearing a dark balaclava.
- It's him.

- He could be right here.
- Yes, ma'am.

OK, let's get
a Decision Log up and running.

Cordons established, with time.

SIO DCI Huntley arrives,

takes command of scene
management, with time.

- Sorry, boss.
- Anyone seen the driver?

- Passenger?
- Just done a sweep, boss.

- No witnesses as yet.
- Missed him by minutes.

(Ringing)

Christ! News travels.

- Let's start house-to-house.
- Ma'am.

- Get a pair of GPDs.
- OK, guys, house-to-house

- and GPDs, note start time.
- Delta X-ray 8912.

Dog Unit, please.
Borogrove Estate.

Have you seen a woman
accompanied by a man

who might've been wearing
a balaclava?

Detective Chief Inspector
Huntley. Sorry to disturb you.

We're conducting
house-to-house inquiries

relating to a vehicle
that may have been involved

- in the abduction of a woman.
- Boss! Boss!

The dogs are onto something!

(Barking)

(Urgent shouting and siren)

Pull the dogs back!

Neil, get control.

Delta X-ray, stand by
for an active message

- from Delta X-ray Zero-Two.
- Delta X-ray received.

This is SIO
on the Trapdoor search

ongoing on
the Borogrove Estate.

(Explosion)

- Get back!
- Are you all right?

(Barking)

Round the back!

We can't lose him!
He was right here!

Neil, get the dogs down there.
He could've made a run for it!

WOMAN: Help!

Help! (Coughs)

OK.

- Get cutters!
- Ma'am.

We're gonna get you free.

- What's your name?
- I'm Hana.

(Screams)

- Come on!
- (Coughs)

Cutters, ma'am.

(Siren)

(Emergency services
radio chatter)

Delta X-ray Four-One...

Right, that's it.

The ambulance will be here
in minutes.

Constable, will you record this
on your body-cam?

Hana, can you give us
a description of your attacker?

No, I never saw his face.

- He wore a...
- Balacla...

Something covering his face?

Yes. Like, dark,
with two holes for the eyes.

What did his voice sound like?
Accent, et cetera?

Erm...

He never spoke.

What happened to your ears?

He tore out my earrings.

All right. Thank you, Hana.

The paramedics are going to
take very good care of you.

Come on.

Boss. No sign of him
in the back alley.

- Dogs are still out there.
- Right.

Lock down all exit roads
in a one-mile radius,

put out all-patrols obs
on our suspect

and find out
whose house this is.

Yes, ma'am.

Tim Ifield.
Forensic Co-ordinator.

(Helicopter whirs overhead)

- Hey, Tim.
- Listen, I'm not being funny,

but that Scene Log has got
every Tom, Dick and Harry going.

Your officers are traipsing
all over every blade of grass

before my team's had
a chance to secure evidence.

This is a live search for a
suspect and that takes priority.

I'll send you in to do a survey

the moment FARS OIC
declare the building safe.

Fine, yeah. Ready when you are.

One of your FIs
can process the witness.

Yeah. That's what
we're here for.

Ma'am, electoral roll gives
residents as Eileen Farmer,

born 1946,
and Michael Farmer, born 1993.

Neighbours haven't seen Eileen
for ages.

Michael, the grandson,
they describe him as a loner,

rarely seen out on the estate.

PNC'ed Michael Farmer. He's on
the Sex Offenders' Register.

Bingo.

(Police radio chatter)

Hold on. Michael Farmer just
clocked on for the night shift.

- Just too late for an alibi.
- We can take my car, ma'am.

No-one who's been at
the crime scene

can have any contact
with Farmer

until he's been fully
forensically processed.

No defence barrister's
going to get to confuse a jury

about cross-contamination
of forensic evidence.

Please do nothing
to alert Mr Farmer.

Police officers will be arriving
in the next few minutes.

(Siren wailing)

- Which one's Michael?
- He's down there.

Michael Farmer,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion of abduction
and attempted murder...

In pursuit of suspect!

Delta Charlie Two-Zero,
Control.

We have a male
making off from us.

Received,
Delta Charlie Two Zero.

Hold it, mate! Hold it!

Calm down! Calm down!

Delta Charlie Two-Zero. Are
you in position for an update?

Delta Charlie Two-Zero. One
under arrest. Michael Farmer.

Confirmed. One under arrest.
Identified as Michael Farmer.

Forensic squad are en route.
Suspect is cooperating.

NEIL: Michael?

Why did you run from
our arresting officers?

MICHAEL: I was frightened.

NEIL: Can you help us
with where you were

between 8pm
and 10pm last night?

I went to visit my nan.

NEIL: Which would be where,
please, Michael?

At the nursing home.

JODIE: How long did you stay
at the nursing home, Michael?

MICHAEL: Half-past seven till
half-past eight. Visiting time.

NEIL: And then
where did you go, Michael?

Nowhere.

JODIE: Can you help us with
what you mean by "nowhere"?

MICHAEL: After visiting nan,

I go and eat me sandwiches
and have me drink.

JODIE: Where did you do that,
Michael?

I sat on a wall.

NEIL: Why didn't you stay
with your nan instead?

You're not allowed...

..after half-past eight.

JODIE: Your phone could help
prove your whereabouts.

Unfortunately, Mr Farmer's
phone isn't a smart phone.

But surely, Mr Morganstaff,
you realise that you can locate

any mobile SIM

via triangulation of
relative signal strength.

Yeah.

JODIE: Would you like
to take a break, Michael?

Ah, Roz, I'm glad I caught you.

Tim, they're about to go
back in with the suspect.

About to, now... These are
the most significant find

- at the crime scene.
- I'm up to speed on forensics.

There's a subtle point
you've probably missed.

Trust me, I haven't.

Boss. The duty solicitor says
Farmer's ready to carry on.

Great. Thanks, Neil.

Tim, email me your concerns.

I know my place.

Tim, I will read them.
Absolutely.

What was all that about, boss?

(Siren wailing)

As you were.

Is, er, DCI Huntley, erm...?

Expecting me? No.

As you were.

- (Keypad beeping)
- That'll be all.

NEIL: So, from half-past eight
to a quarter to ten,

- you were sitting on a wall?
MICHAEL: Yes.

JODIE: Where was the wall?
- Sir.

MICHAEL: I can't remember.

NEIL: Did anybody see you,

while you were sitting
on this wall?

I don't think so.

Anything?

Convicted sex offender.

We're just hearing now he has
nothing in the way of an alibi.

Good.

You were on this wall
for over an hour,

but you can't remember
where it was?

MICHAEL: No.

NEIL: Right. OK.

Do you think we'll be able to
charge him within the 36 hours?

NEIL: Was there anybody there
with you?

There's a lot of evidence
to go through.

You're right to be meticulous,
but we need a breakthrough.

They've been killing us
on Twitter.

There hasn't been a moment
I've regretted my choice of SIO.

- Thank you, sir.
- But I've stuck my neck out.

Plenty would have taken you off
this case by now.

JODIE: There wasn't
a young woman there?

- No.
- You sure?

Yes.

I have every confidence in you.

NEIL: There's something else
we want to talk about. A fire.

- (Door opens)
- What can you tell us?

(Door closes)

JODIE: A fire in your house,
Michael.

- A big fire.
- I don't know.

NEIL: So you're saying you had
nothing to do with this fire?

No.

NEIL: We're going to show you
some photographs now.

JODIE: Baswinder Kaur.

Her dismembered body
was found on 11th of November.

NEIL: A hairgrip.

Ever seen either of these
before, Michael?

I'm not sure.

JODIE: Leonie Collersdale,
last seen 25th of January.

No-one's seen her since.

NEIL: A necklace.
Seen this or Leonie before?

(Text message alert)

MICHAEL: I'm not sure.

JODIE: Hana Reznikova,
abducted last night.

NEIL: Her earrings.
Have you seen them before?

MICHAEL: I'm not sure.

NEIL: Is this you, Michael?

JODIE: This is very important,
Michael.

Please think carefully.

This is a photo of a man
captured on the evening of

25th of January,
when Leonie disappeared.

Could this be you at all?

I'm not sure.

A 24-year-old man has been
charged in connection with

the murder of Baswinder Kaur,

the disappearance of
Leonie Collersdale

and the abduction
and attempted murder

of a third woman.

The third victim was rescued
from an address

in the Moss Heath area
late last night.

She's currently safe and well
and assisting our inquiry.

REPORTER:
Baswinder Kaur's body

was found in November
last year.

With Leonie Collersdale's
disappearance

also in the Moss Heath area
ten weeks later,

police quickly suspected
there was a connection.

The hunt for the suspect-
"Operation Trapdoor"-

had made scant progress
until now.

Until now!

(Cheering)

(Laughter)

...for their courageous actions
in rescuing

this young woman from
a terrifying ordeal.

I would also like
to pay tribute...

Well done, everyone.
Great work. Well done.

- Thanks, boss.
- Ma'am.

...during these dark months,

to crack
this most challenging case.

And finally at this time, our
thoughts are with the families

of the two young women
who are the tragic victims...

They should throw away the key.

Well, full marks to the ACC
for his Crimewatch audition.

All right, everybody.
Come on. (Claps)

Back to work.

Hello.
Superintendent Hastings, AC-12.

(Immobiliser bleeps)

(Door closes)

Roz?

Roz?

Hey.

I heard the news.

Sorry about last night.

If I'd known... Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing.

The opposite.

It's over.

Finally.

It's over.

Sorry, sarge, I know

- you're heading out the door.
- What's up?

There's someone down in
reception wants to talk to you.

- To AC-12?
- No, he said only DS Arnott.

Won't give a name.
Won't say what it's about.

OK, the case against
Michael Farmer.

The crucial finding
at the crime scene was

a collection of three items.

Now, the third victim,
the one who was rescued,

told officers that the suspect
forcibly removed her earrings.

Now, these earrings
were identified by the victim

as belonging to her
and the blood matched hers.

That seems pretty sound to me.

It does, DS Arnott.

But significantly-
highly significantly-

these earrings were
supposedly kept with items

belonging to
the previous victims.

Why "supposedly"?

How forensically-minded
are you?

I manage OK.

Some officers, they think
the forensics are cut and dry.

But let me tell you,
that is not always the case.

Forensics have to be
interpreted carefully.

I mean, in court,
a so-called expert pops up

and the jury stops listening to
the rest of the evidence.

Look, Tim, it's late...

So I asked the Submissions Team
at the laboratory

to carry out an environmental
profile on these items.

Other items recovered from
the crime scene-

a hairgrip belonging
to Baswinder Kaur,

and a necklace belonging
to Leonie Collersdale-

bore a characteristic pattern
of carpet fibre deposits.

Now, as residents walk around...

Tiny amounts of carpet fibres
are thrown into the air

and settle on objects
in the vicinity.

This gives an indication
of how long

the objects have been
in said location.

Exactly.

No carpet fibre deposits
were found on any of the items

connecting the crime scene
to the previous victims.

None of
the suspect's DNA either.

Now, I'm worried... Well, you
know what I'm worried about.

That they were planted there.

One more thing.

All shoe prints in the house

matched footwear
seized from the resident

of the house,
apart from this one.

It's a boot print
that doesn't relate to him

or anyone who attended
the crime scene

after the scene was cordoned
off for forensic deployment.

Someone else was in the house
around the time of the offence.

Why haven't you taken all this
to the SIO on Trapdoor?

DCI Huntley? I tried.

God knows, I tried.

Evidence may have been planted.

Evidence may have been
suppressed.

The man they've charged
could be innocent.

And I've come to you because,
well...you're AC-12.

This is what you do.

KATE: Timothy Ifield,
Forensic Co-ordinator.

15 years' experience as an FI.

Promoted to Grade G
two years ago

on the back of first-class
performance reviews.

He came to us
to report concerns about

an investigation
led by DCI Roz Huntley.

- Operation Trapdoor.
- He came to me, actually, sir.

Huntley's got no history
of misconduct

or corruption allegations.
None of her team do either.

None of them show
any link to the suspect.

- Michael Farmer?
- Yes, sir.

Farmer's a convicted
sex offender who allegedly

abducted a woman and left her
to die in a burning house.

At his home, trophies were found
linking to the previous victims.

Ifield claims DCI Huntley
disregarded forensic evidence

that casts doubt on
Farmer's guilt.

Bearing in mind, Huntley
must have discussed the evidence

and must have presented it
to the Crown Prosecutor.

We can't know details
until we start digging, sir.

Right.

Sir, how we treat
Tim Ifield's claims

speaks volumes about
anyone that witnesses corruption

or is in two minds
about coming forward.

When you become a DS, you start
worrying how things look.

Hang the finer points.
A young lad might go to prison

for a crime he didn't commit.

And if police wrongdoing
is part of it, I want to know.

- Sir.
- Sir.

(Door opens)

That could've gone better.

My promotion
shouldn't be an issue, Steve.

All I mean is
let's get our ducks in a row

- before we talk to the gaffer.
- No argument from me.

(Knocks)

Sorry, ma'am. There's a DS here
from East Mids.

- Says you know about it.
- About what?

Sorry, ma'am.

- Where?
- Incident Room.

Neil, I'll take those.

- Cheers, boss.
- Thank you.

- DCI Huntley.
- DS Kate Flynn.

Congratulations on
closing the case, ma'am.

- Great job.
- Thank you.

I'm afraid
you've caught me unawares.

Sorry, ma'am. I thought
the liaison had been agreed.

It's news to me.

I'm Missing Persons
over at East Mids,

looking into a disappearance
with similarities with

two victims in your case.

Like yours,
she's got juvenile offences

and on-off history
of prostitution.

Everything we've put out to
the public has played down

those girls' difficult
upbringings, at my insistence.

Prostitution is not a factor
in these cases.

The victims could have been
any woman.

No-one at this station
calls those girls prostitutes.

We call them
Baswinder and Leonie.

Yes, ma'am. I didn't mean
to cause any offence.

Hana Reznikova works two jobs,
all hours, cleaner and waitress.

Yes, ma'am. My gaffer's asked
me to rule out any connection.

- He said he'd sent an email.
- It's been a bit hectic here.

Er, Rikki Neville, 21-year-old,
last seen before Christmas.

What do you need from us?

Thank you, ma'am.

We've arranged a post-charge
interview with Michael Farmer,

to put questions about my case.

Fine.

I'll just wait here until one
of your team's available, ma'am.

You know what,
interviewing Farmer...

perhaps it would help
if I was there.

Yeah. Very good, ma'am.

(Alarm wailing)

Stand by.

(Alarm stops)

Right. Erm...

Michael, my name's Kate Flynn.

I'm a Detective Sergeant on
the East Midlands Constabulary.

You remember DCI Huntley
from Polk Avenue Police Station?

Hello, Michael. Thank you
for speaking to us today.

How are you, Michael?

Been in a fight?

I had one of my falls.

It can be tough in prison

if you're in for
certain kinds of offences,

even if you're only on remand.

We can speak to the Offender
Management Officer.

Explain that you're helping us.

Maybe they can do more
to protect you.

- Thank you.
- First, I need to remind you

that you remain under caution.

What that means is
you shouldn't say anything

unless you're OK for it
to be used against you in court.

You can avoid a question
by saying, "No comment,"

and you can stop the interview
at any time.

I need to ask you
about your whereabouts

in the two weeks
after New Year.

Did you travel to the Leicester
area in early January?

Er...

I don't remember.

You don't remember
ever leaving town?

I don't get out much.

You didn't take a bus
or a train out of town at all?

It was a while ago. I'm sorry.

I might've forgotten.

- What about driving?
- Er...

Do you ever drive out of town,
at all Michael?

Michael?

No.

Here's a photo.

This is the girl
I'm asking you about.

She looks a bit like Hana
Reznikova, doesn't she?

Similar age,
same sort of hair, I mean.

I...

Michael...did you
steal anything from her?

I, er...

DCI Huntley's explained to me
that Hana Reznikova

was wearing a set of earrings
found in your house.

And, this girl, someone reckons

they saw her getting into a car
with a stranger, which is

what's alleged to have happened
with Hana Reznikova.

I don't want to get in
more trouble.

You can answer
however you like.

If you want to change
your story, you can,

but it's important that you know
that changing answers may harm

- your defence in court.
- That's correct, Michael.

KATE: The reason I'm asking
about the car, Michael,

is because this is what's
alleged to have happened

with Hana Reznikova.

I don't want to get
things wrong. I get...

I get muddled sometimes.
(Exhales sharply)

What do you get muddled about,
Michael?

Do you want to stop
the interview, Michael?

- Yes, please.
- OK. We'll leave it there.

Is that all right, DS Flynn?

Yeah, of course, ma'am.
No problem.

Thanks, everyone.

(Buzzer)

- (Keypad beeps)
MICHAEL: Did I do all right?

In what way?

You said,
if I did well, you'd...

(Distant buzzer)

..you'd tell them
to look after me better.

- Yeah. I will.
- (Buzzer)

(Alarm pulsing)

Thank you.

Sorry about that, ma'am.

I hope I haven't
wasted your time.

No, not at all.

Do you mind if I ask you
some questions?

- Be good to beat the traffic.
- I don't mean

to be presumptuous, but you're
barking up the wrong tree.

Why would you say that, ma'am?

Farmer took trophies
from each of his victims.

We did a thorough search
of the house,

the FARS Investigator
found no evidence

of similar items in the fire.

Three trophies, three victims.

Whatever happened
to your girl,

she was not the fourth. Sorry
if you've had a wasted journey.

Not at all, ma'am. I appreciate
the time you've given me.

You're welcome. Goodbye.

Bye.

(Train rumbling)

All right.

I interviewed Farmer.

One uncontrolled crime of
passion, that I can imagine.

But two or three?
Leaving no clues for months?

According to
his medical records,

he was diagnosed with learning
difficulties when he was 11.

That doesn't mean
he was incapable of

- committing the offences.
- He was meant to have stolen

the car used to abduct Hana.

I'm not even convinced
he can drive.

- His solicitor bring that up?
- Don't get me started on him.

You pressed Huntley
on the driving?

I know how to run
an undercover.

Never said you didn't.

We could leave it to you, but
I don't want us in court again.

Don't worry, mate.
We'll get there.

Right.

Night, mate.

Yep?

Tim Ifield's raised
legitimate questions.

I've looked at the electronic
submissions to the CPS.

The MG3, MG5 and all
the MG11's are by the book.

The MG6 initial disclosure is
what I'd expect at this stage.

Signal strength triangulation
places Michael's mobile phone

in the vicinity of
his grandmother's nursing home,

and not the abduction
of Reznikova.

We all know how this works.
There's a chain of evidence.

Starts with
the investigating team,

goes to
the Senior Investigating Officer

who presents it to
the Crown Prosecutor.

Who can only consider
the evidence in front of her.

We don't know how
Huntley presented it all

when she made the case
for charging Farmer.

- Exactly.
- Nothing in Huntley's record

suggests she's ever done
anything like this before.

She's got no connection
to Farmer.

Maybe, on the evidence,
she believes he's guilty.

She's just an honest copper
getting on with the job.

Yeah. The job she's been given.

Sir?

Well, Huntley's superiors, they
won't have been kept in the dark

about such a high-profile case.

I mean, one girl dead,
one presumed,

one by the grace of God,
no progress for months.

Senior officers get told
what they want to hear.

Yes, well, I must be
the exception.

Sir, I managed to check the
electronic door entry download

to Polk Avenue, the night of
Michael Farmer's questioning.

It shows access via
the warrant card registered to

Assistant Chief Constable
Hilton.

Right.

- OK. Thanks, you two.
- Sir.

I'll be right out.

(Door closes)

I don't know if this is
a good time, sir,

but I've been a DS
for over five years now

and I hope I've proved myself.

I've passed the National
Inspectors' Exam.

Yes, I was aware.

I feel I'm right for
a promotion, sir,

- if you'll back me.
- Full marks for ambition, son.

Rest assured, I will give it
due consideration.

Sir.

HILTON: The sea bass for me.

And I'll have the sirloin
steak, medium-rare, no sauce.

You didn't fancy some vino,
did you, Ted?

Oh, no, no, no.
A bit too early for me, sir,

although you might consider
recent successes

- merit a glass of bubbly?
- (Chuckles)

It's a bit early for me, too,

but certainly
a cloud's been lifted.

Yeah, well, expectations are so
high from the public these days.

They think that forensic
science is gonna lead us

directly to the door of
the offender.

Public trust has been restored,
the Chief Constable and the PCC

have dialled down
their rabid anxiety,

so we can relax
and enjoy a pleasant lunch.

(Chuckles)

But, I mean, it is a very
trying situation, you know,

and that level of anxiety
starts to filter down

- through the ranks.
- How so?

Well, you said yourself, sir,
public trust,

expectation of getting a result
can sometimes lead to

undue pressure on
a detective to close a case.

Well, I don't think that's
always such a bad thing.

Sometimes
you've got to light a fire.

Indeed, sir.

Indeed.

However, a detective under
that kind of undue pressure

can sometimes bend the facts
to suit the expectations

of his, or her, superiors.

I've got better antennae
than that.

You know we can't be
micro-managers, Ted.

We trust our officers
to conduct themselves

with professionalism
and integrity.

- (Phone buzzes)
- Sorry.

ACC Hilton.

(Beeping)

Steve.

How do you know when
an Executive Officer's lying?

His lips move.

There may be something in this.
I sincerely hope not.

But I'm relying on you and Kate
to get to the bottom of it.

As of now, we are investigating

Roz Huntley's charging
of Michael Farmer.

- Sir.
- Good.

(Doorbell rings)

Jade Hopkirk?

- What's he done now?
- No-one's in any trouble, miss.

Would it be possible
to talk to you inside?

Free country.

I appreciate this may be a
difficult subject for you, Jade,

but I'm here to talk to you
about Michael Farmer.

Right.

Do you mind if I ask,
how did you know Mr Farmer?

Just from the estate.

I don't mean to push. Could you
tell me a bit more, please?

We used to walk
the same way home from school.

That's how it started,
I suppose.

According to records
I've accessed

in relation to my inquiry,

a complaint about Michael Farmer
was made on 18th June 2009,

by your mother, alleging
Michael Farmer raped you.

Why are you asking me
all this now?

This relates to a new inquiry.
I'm not at liberty to say more.

I am sorry for bringing up
a traumatic experience, Jade.

Thank you.

At the time,
you were 15 years old?

Yeah.

And Mr Farmer, he was 16?

Yeah.

This offence took place
in Farmer's home?

His grandma was out.

We were alone,
listening to music and that.

Was there a friendship
before the attack took place?

I thought
he just wanted to be friends.

But you made clear to Farmer
you didn't want

to have intercourse with him?

- Yeah.
- (Baby cries)

In his initial statement,
he claimed you went along...

Yeah, then he said he done it,
so what's the problem?

(Baby continues crying)

(Footsteps ascending stairs)

(Beeping)

- Morning, boss.
- Hey, Neil. How's it going?

Sorry, boss,

the DS from East Mids, how long
do you want to give her?

- You've lost me.
- To go through the interviews

with Farmer
and the witness statements...

Do you mind telling me
what's going on here?

My gaffer wasn't happy with
what I got out of Farmer.

He said there was holes
in his statement.

He wants more before
we can rule him out.

Sorry, ma'am, I...
Your team seemed fine with it.

- I didn't want to disturb you.
- I'm the SIO. You ask me.

Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.
I meant no disrespect.

I'd like you to desist, please,

while I take this up
with your senior officer.

Yeah. As you wish, ma'am.

I'll get someone to do that.

Very good, ma'am.

As you know, ma'am,
I'm only here to solve a crime.

- We're both on the same side.
- Of course.

- I'm very sorry, ma'am.
- OK.

- Hello, switch.
- DCI Huntley.

Put me through
to Missing Persons

at the East Midlands
Constabulary.

(Phone beeps)

(Ringing tone)

HUNTLEY: DS Flynn's interfering
with my investigation.

I'd rather she was denied
further access to our files.

SIO: Sorry to hear that,
DCI Huntley,

but I need to speak to
my Chief Superintendent.

DS Flynn's secondment is

an important line of inquiry
for us.

HUNTLEY: I appreciate that, but
she's a disruptive influence.

The call was intercepted by
undercover ops handling service.

They're on standby
to push Kate back on her.

Yes, well,
she certainly sounds rattled.

Huntley's hiding something
about how Farmer's case

was handled,
but what, I don't know.

Steve, you looked into
the original conviction

that got Farmer put on
the Sex Offenders' Register?

Er, yeah. It checks out.

Which suggests that Huntley's
got the right man after all.

Makes me think twice about
moving Kate's undercover

up to the next level.

Er, no. No.
I agree with Kate, sir.

It's still worth
digging deeper.

Right, well,
you're my best team.

If that's what you both think,
let's turn the screw.

- Sir.
- Sir.

Someone to see you, ma'am.

DS Arnott, ma'am. AC-12.

Who are you here to see?

I'm making inquiries into
Operation Trapdoor.

In regards to what?

Just opening our inquiry,
ma'am. It's too early to say.

Then, why are you here
in person?

A courtesy call. Just passing.

I'll see you again,
DCI Huntley.

May I ask
what you're doing here?

We haven't ruled out Farmer's
involvement in unsolved crimes

within the jurisdiction of the
East Midlands Constabulary,

so we're creating
a bilateral task force.

I've been placed on temporary
secondment to your team, ma'am.

You push from the inside.
I'll push from the outside.

- She'll crack.
- (Thudding)

(Knocking on door)

Thank you for seeing me, sir.

- My pleasure. Thanks, Jan.
- (Door closes)

How can I help?

I wonder if you have any idea

why AC-12 are examining
Operation Trapdoor?

Er...

I'm not corrupt, sir,
nor are my team.

All procedures were followed.

The evidence met the threshold
test. Met and surpassed it.

I stuck with you on this because
you're better than your record.

Your career break, I mean.

All those years out
being a full-time mum.

Some would worry
that'd cost you your edge.

But I have the advantage
of knowing first-hand

how good you are.

Thank you very much, sir.

There's a lot of evidence,
pro and con, a lot of facts.

You've got what it takes
to cut through all that.

There's facts
and then there's the truth.

I know you won't let me down.

Yes, sir.

MAN: Hi.
- Can I help you?

Hi, Jane, can I take a look
at the forensic reports

on these items of evidence?
I've lost track of the emails.

All the reference numbers
are down there.

No problem.
Coming right up.

- Everything all right, Tim?
- Hi, Roz.

- Why don't you guys go in?
- Yeah, yeah. All good.

- Right, then. Have a good day.
- You too.

(Beeping)

- Morning.
- Morning.

Your friend's been here
a couple of hours already.

- Friend?
- I put him in the Meeting Room.

Tim.

PC Bindra said
I could wait till you arrived.

Or you can make an appointment.

I'd rather people didn't know
I was coming here.

So what have you discovered
so far?

The inquiry's ongoing.
It'd be inappropriate...

So you're investigating? Great.
Well, this'll help.

Now, I was only responsible
for co-ordinating

the forensic deployment
in Michael Farmer's house.

But I've been able
to access reports

into the evidence obtained from

Hana Reznikova,
the alleged victim,

and Michael Farmer himself.

If he'd bundled
Hana Reznikova into his car

and dragged her into his house,
you'd imagine that

some of his clothes fibres
would have been detected on her.

Yeah, of course.

The clothing worn by
Hana Reznikova shows

no fibres detected that match
the clothing worn by Farmer.

Only black fibres from
a cotton and polyester blend

that could have come from
a black jacket

like her abductor was wearing.

Farmer was wearing different
clothing when he was arrested.

He could have disposed of
the black jacket.

No black fibres were found
on Michael Farmer's clothing

or in his house.

No fibres from a balaclava
were found in his hair.

Roz Huntley is too clever for
all this to have been missed.

I feel like I'm alone,

like no-one else at Polk Avenue
realises what's really going on.

Of all people,
you know what that feels like.

- Sorry?
- You were a whistle-blower.

You refused to go along with
the cover-up

into the shooting of Karim Ali

and testified against
your colleagues.

That is why I insisted
on meeting only you.

Because you'd understand.

You understand
what I'm thinking.

Now, either the forensic
investigators were silenced

by Roz Huntley...or they're
in on the conspiracy too.

Conspiracy? To do what?

To ignore evidence
pointing at another suspect.

I mean,
you've seen the balaclava photo?

Of course.
It's been released to the press,

- so it's in the public domain.
- Right.

This is the CCTV image
of a suspicious figure

wearing a balaclava and jacket
seen in the vicinity

of the disappearance
of the second victim.

Leonie Collersdale,
last seen 25th of January.

Now, I've got some software
that can analyse his biometrics.

This has all been tried.
Because of the high angle,

his height can't be estimated
without a wide margin of error.

Correct.

Now, vertical measurements
are highly unreliable.

Horizontal ones aren't.
Such as foot size.

This is 27.5 centimetres,

the equivalent to a UK size 10.

The footwear seized
from Michael Farmer's home,

and belonging to him,
was all a UK size 8.

You believe this can't be
Michael Farmer?

Not only that, the boot print
captured from the kitchen floor

of Michael Farmer's home
was also a UK size 10.

This is the man I'm convinced
killed Baswinder Kaur,

Leonie Collersdale,
and abducted Hana Reznikova,

and framed Michael Farmer
for everything -

and Roz Huntley has stopped
everyone looking for him.

HUNTLEY: Jodie?

Anything I can do, ma'am?

Yes.

Some of the forensics
in the Michael Farmer case,

I'd like them reprocessed.

Sure.

I'll email
a list of which ones.

OK, no problem.

(He chuckles) Hello.

Would you like to order
from the breakfast menu?

Er, right, erm, no.

I'll just have a cup of tea,
please.

OK. We have Earl Grey, English
Breakfast, a peppermint tea?

Yeah, Earl Grey.

OK. Take a seat, sir.
I'll bring it over.

Thanks.

That's me, sir,
if you're interested.

Uh, yeah, maybe we should
fix a time for you

to come round
and size up my flat?

Great.

I'll check my diary.

Don't leave before
we make an appointment.

I won't.

Sorry, ma'am, but I thought
you should know about this.

When I looked at the reports
on Farmer's

- and Reznikova's clothing...
- Yes?

Last one to tell tales, but Tim
Ifield signed out the reports.

He's been looking at them too.

Thanks, Jodie.

OK.

Are you OK, ma'am?
Fancy a cuppa?

No, thank you.

OK.

REPORTER: Having come under
fierce criticism

for failing to capture
the murderer,

Central Police are now being
praised for their breakthrough.

Police and Crime
Commissioner...

- You all right?
- I need to go back to work.

What's wrong with Mum?

(Sizzling)

(Doorbell chimes)

(Doorbell continues chiming)

(Buzzer)

(Knocking on door)

Oh, Roz.

I was ringing that bell
for ages.

- You need to get it fixed.
- It's silent.

It's all controlled
by my computer.

For God's sake.

- Can I come in?
- Er...yeah.

Yeah, of course. Yes.

- Is everything OK?
- No.

That's what
I want to talk about.

Uh...

OK. Can I get you
a tea or a coffee?

I'm not staying. I'm just gonna
ask you, straight up,

what the hell is going on?

I'm not sure what you mean.

I'm the Senior
Investigating Officer.

You're the Forensic
Co-ordinator.

You have your area of expertise
but, fundamentally,

- you answer to me.
- Yes.

So why are you questioning
my evaluation of evidence?

Look, I can see you're upset,
but wouldn't it be better

- if we discussed this at work?
- I want to discuss it now.

You've come to my home, at
night, you're clearly emotional.

Don't make out
I'm in the wrong, Tim.

You're the one
going behind my back.

See? You know exactly
what I'm referring to.

I had no choice.

You had the choice
to talk to me.

- I tried.
- Don't give me that.

You made some
half-hearted effort to discuss

minor anomalies
in evidence recovered

- from Farmer's house.
- They were hardly minor.

Cases of this complexity
create mountains of evidence.

It takes the experience of
a good SIO

to cut through all that
and recognise the truth.

The evidence is the truth!

You think Farmer's innocent.
I know that he is guilty.

There's a pattern of
institutional blindness,

led by you, into the
possibility of another suspect.

What other suspect?
There is no other suspect.

Balaclava Man committed
the previous murders

and he planted evidence
in Farmer's house.

Michael Farmer is Balaclava Man
and those items were trophies.

Of course
they appeared different

to other household items.
And the boot print, so what?

It's a house on a busy estate,
who-knows-who coming and going.

You are taking your narrow view
of your own specialism,

writing off all other parts
of the case that I, as SIO,

am in a better position
to evaluate.

I can see you're angry,
but I think you should leave.

Who the hell
do you think you are?

- Don't you push me.
- I'm not the one pushing.

Can't you see I'm right
about Michael Farmer?

No, actually,
what I see is someone

who can't admit that
she's wrong.

This is my life, my career,

and I will not have some sad
little wanker mess that up.

Is that how you see
Michael Farmer?

Some sad little wanker
that you can frame

- and lock him up?
- I did not frame him.

You made sure
an innocent man is charged.

What do you know about anything?
What gives you the right

- to say he's innocent?
- What have you got against him?

Except him being retarded
enough for you to frame.

(Grunts)

You just assaulted
a police officer.

- Ah, no. No, you're staying.
- I'm leaving.

No. Let's talk about this.

- Just stay...
- Ah!

(Whirring)
