(Siren wailing)

The bystander that witnessed
the abduction described

a suspect of average height
and build wearing a balaclava.

(Shrieking)

Help!

(Coughing)

- He tore out my earrings.
TIM: These appear to be

the most significant find
at the crime scene.

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

Trust me, I haven't.

There's a lot of evidence
to go through.

But we need a breakthrough.

Michael Farmer,
I'm arresting you on suspicion

of abduction
and attempted murder.

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.

Evidence may have been planted.
It may have been suppressed.

The man they've charged
could be innocent.

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

A detective under that kind of
undue pressure can sometimes

bend the facts
to suit the expectations

of his, or her, superiors.

We trust our officers
to conduct themselves

with professionalism
and integrity.

As of now, we are investigating
Roz Huntley's charging

- of Michael Farmer.
- Sir.

AC-12.

I'll see you again,
DCI Huntley.

DS Kate Flynn.

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

I get muddled sometimes.

Do you want to stop
the interview?

I'd like you to desist, please,
while I take this up

- with your senior officer.
- As you wish, ma'am.

Huntley's hiding something
about how the case

against Farmer was handled.
What, I don't know.

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

Leonie Collersdale,
abducted Hana Reznikova

and framed Michael Farmer.

And Roz Huntley has stopped
everyone looking for him.

What have you got
against Farmer?

Except him being retarded
enough for you to frame!

(Whirring)

NEIL: I'm at Blackthorn.

The DS from East Mids-
she's with Farmer again.

WOMAN: God's sake!
- Yeah.

I'm trying to get hold of
DCI Huntley.

She didn't come into work
this morning.

MAN: ID please.

OK, I'll get back to you.

Michael, I need to ask you some
questions about Rikki Neville.

I've learned
that she had a boyfriend

that lived in Moss Heath -
where she went

the night she disappeared.

Moss Heath, isn't that
where you live, Michael?

Michael, you don't have to stay
and speak to DS Flynn.

You can leave at any time.

Or, if you do speak to her,
you're still under caution.

Anything you say
can be used in evidence.

Don't forget that.

I want to help.

Yes. DS Twyler.

Have you got DCI Huntley there
with you, by any chance?

MAN: Er, no, she's not here.
She's probably at home.

I've already tried
her home number. Nothing.

All right. Cheers, anyway.

- (Beeping)
- Ta.

For the tape, I'm showing
the interviewee a CCTV image.

This image was also taken
in Moss Heath,

the night another girl went
missing, Leonie Collersdale.

Maybe this man knows about
what happened to Rikki Neville?

What I'm wondering, Michael,

is if you might know
who this man is.

(Gate opens)

OK, we'll leave it there.

I've remembered
the name of the hospital.

- What's that, Michael?
- I said I want to help

and I've remembered
the name of the hospital.

JODIE: You told your employer
it was a hospital. St Anthony's.

St Anthony's.

NEIL: But we checked
St Anthony's

and they've got no record
that you were there that night.

We want to get to the truth,
Michael,

but it's very difficult
if you can't provide

- the right information...
- As you were.

Sir, I got a tip-off from Kate
about a possible alibi.

Under pressure of interview,
Farmer gave the wrong hospital.

Michael Farmer
was actually admitted

to City General Hospital on
the night Leonie disappeared.

He wasn't discharged
till two days later.

Well, let's see what DCI
Huntley has to say about that.

- Start drafting a Reg 15.
- Sir.

(Police radio chatter)

- DS Twyler.
- DS Flynn.

- Hi, Rupal.
- Hiya.

A body's been found. A woman.

Where's Tim Ifield?

He's not on shift.
Stuck with me, I'm afraid.

- Any idea who she is?
- From what there is,

we've done pretty well
to identify her as female.

She's been dismembered.

- Is Roz on her way?
- Haven't got hold of her yet.

OK, well, the first body parts
were found there and there.

(Low chatter)

DCI Huntley's not answering
any of her numbers.

Her Federation rep's
had a go, too.

Sorry, Sarge.

(Text alert)

Has anyone checked
if Roz has been given

last-minute leave
or time off in lieu?

It'll be summat with her kids.
No-one dobs in the boss.

What are you talking about?

Yes. Thanks, Rupal.

I'll talk to you later. Right.

Sum total of the find

is the torso divided into
two sections plus one arm.

I've asked Rupal
to fast-track DNA,

see if we can match the body
to Leonie Collersdale

or to Kate's missing girl,
Rikki Neville.

Jodie, you OK
to liaise with Rupal?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Right.

Neil, best to let
the Collersdales' FLO know

that we've found a body
but not to say

anything to the family
till we know more.

- Boss.
- Everything all right, ma'am?

Er, sorry, I really wasn't
up to coming in earlier.

I think I've picked up
some kind of bug.

Grim night.

Sorry to bring you in.
This can't wait.

Sir.

I got an email earlier.

AC-12 are going to serve you
with a Regulation 15 Notice.

Ted Hastings, usual story,
he's got a bee in his bonnet.

As good as told me you've been
under disproportionate pressure

to secure charges
against Farmer.

Executive pressure.

I'm the one
who's been shielding you

from all the flak
over Trapdoor.

We're in this together,
shoulder to shoulder.

Huh?

It's bad enough the kids being
on another planet...

Sorry?

We eat later so we can
sit down together.

I've lost my appetite.

Anything to do with last night?

You'd just gone when I realised
you'd left your phone at home.

Yeah, I checked my messages
this morning.

The kids called.
Why weren't you in?

I was having a drink
with Jimmy.

So it's OK for you to have
a drink with your mate

but it's a problem
if I'm at work?

The kids were fine.

Couldn't you have borrowed
a phone, to say where you were?

We were chasing a lead.

The body that was
still missing.

Leonie Collersdale.

You found her?

Some of her.

I should have borrowed
someone else's phone.

It...got late and...

..I just didn't want to wake up
the whole house.

- Sorry.
- Hey, now. Hey, don't be daft.

I'm just worried about you,
that's all.

- Have you cut yourself?
- It's fine.

I just caught it
on some brickwork.

- I'll be fine.
- I'll warm that up for you.

Thank you.

(DIR machine tone)

(Tone stops)

AC-12 interview of Detective
Chief Inspector Roseanne Huntley

in the presence of her Police
Federation representative.

DCI Mark Moffatt.

Interview by
Superintendent Hastings,

Detective Sergeant Arnott.

For the DIR, the screen shows
Michael Farmer,

currently in custody
charged with the murders of

Baswinder Kaur
and Leonie Collersdale,

and the kidnapping
and attempted murder

of Hana Reznikova.

In respect of evidence
against Mr Farmer,

our first consideration
is item reference AP-5,

Hana Reznikova's clothing,
Document 5 in your folders.

Hana's clothing yielded
item reference HLA-8.

That's Document 6
in your folders.

HLA-8 also matched fibres found
on Michael Farmer's clothing.

It appears Farmer managed
to dispose of the jacket

but fibres were still on
the clothes he was wearing

- at the time of his arrest.
- Fibres?

DCI Huntley has the right to be
questioned by an officer

at least one rank senior.

Yes, you take DS Arnott's
point, don't you, DCI Huntley?

Only one fibre was found.

That's pretty meagre,
wouldn't you say?

Given that our man's meant to
have bundled that wee girl

into his car,
transferred her across town

and then locked her up
in his house?

Nonetheless, it's still
evidence proving Farmer

was in physical contact with
Hana the night of the abduction.

It's evidence he might have been
in contact with black clothing.

As the jacket was never found,

we haven't got a match to
the one used in the abduction.

And a single fibre
is more consistent

with cross-contamination.

That's correct, isn't it?

It's more likely
that a stray fibre

contaminated
Michael Farmer's clothing

during his arrest, transfer
or custody?

Sir, I took scrupulous measures
to prevent cross-contamination

of forensic evidence.
That's why I'm certain

this fibre is proof of physical
contact between Farmer and Hana.

Hana described her attacker
as wearing a balaclava.

No fibres consistent
with a balaclava

were detected
in Michael Farmer's hair.

Doesn't mean
he wasn't wearing one,

just that we didn't find
any fibres.

Absence of evidence isn't the
same as evidence of absence.

- Yes.
- There you go.

It couldn't be more clearer
in respect of the forgoing.

You just admitted
to an absence of evidence.

Document 9.

Document 9 is a signal-strength
triangulation map

carried out on
Michael Farmer's phone

in respect of 9th of March
from 2030 to 2200.

Said triangulation
shows the phone

remained within
the mobile phone cell covering

Farmer's grandmother's
nursing home

until he went to start
his shift at 2200.

The map also shows the location
of Hana Reznikova's abduction.

Seems like he wasn't in the
right place at the right time.

Just because the phone was
there doesn't mean Farmer was.

There are no witnesses
to Farmer loitering near his

grandmother's nursing home
for an hour and 45 minutes.

He left it there
the whole time?

We really don't know
what he did with his phone.

No calls were made
in those hours.

And yet the phone
was back on his person

by the time he was arrested?

Yes, sir.

Hana Reznikova was abducted
using a vehicle

found in the vicinity of
Michael Farmer's home.

Yes.

Michael Farmer
doesn't hold a driving licence.

He's never held
a driving licence.

He's never owned a car.
Neither has his grandmother.

I'm familiar with
those findings,

and naturally I gave them
consideration.

Farmer's had ample opportunity
to learn to drive informally.

In his neighbourhood,
it's not uncommon

for motorists
to drive illegally,

without a licence or insurance.

Come on,
that's an assumption -

and a pretty big one
if you ask me.

I mean, have you witnesses
to Michael Farmer

- being able to drive?
- Inquiries are ongoing, sir.

Ongoing.

Document 11 in your folders.
Item reference TJI-1.

Item reference TJI-1 is a pair
of bloodstained earrings.

They were found
in Farmer's home.

The bloodstains were swabbed.

The blood matched a control
sample taken from Hana.

They were Hana's earrings.

Farmer ripped them out before
leaving Hana to die in the fire.

And she would have,

if I hadn't have gone into
the burning house and saved her.

DS Arnott.

Item reference TJI-2
is a hair grip.

At Michael Farmer's home,
we also found said hair grip

bearing DNA
matching Baswinder Kaur

and a necklace bearing DNA
matching Leonie Collersdale.

Tests indicated carpet fibre
deposits present on

other items recovered from
Farmer's home address

were absent on the items
specifically linking Farmer

- to the previous victims.
- Those items were trophies.

I took the view
that Michael Farmer

took special care of them,
keeping them in a safe place,

keeping them clean,
and for that reason,

I discounted
the carpet fibre profile.

There was also a boot print
relating to a person unknown.

Nothing connected the boot
print to the personal items.

Like the carpet fibres,
on the balance of evidence

I discounted it, in favour of

the compelling evidence
against Michael Farmer.

On screen, image 47.

Image 47 is a CCTV capture
made on the 25th January

showing a figure known
informally as Balaclava Man.

Now, have you determined that
this suspect is Michael Farmer?

He's a sufficient match
in terms of body size and shape.

Most likely,
this is Michael Farmer.

And can you tell me
how you went about determining

whether or not to charge
Michael Farmer?

Standard protocol, sir.

I spoke on the telephone
to the Senior Prosecutor

in the Complex Case Unit.

I outlined the evidence

and she authorised me
to charge the offender.

And was there
any other evidence

that you brought
to the attention

of the Senior Prosecutor?

- What evidence?
- Contrary evidence.

- As the call wasn't recorded...
- Yeah, I know that, fella.

That's why I'm asking the organ
grinder and not her monkey.

I believe I've presented
all the evidence.

Believe?

DCI Huntley strenuously denies
tampering with evidence.

No-one's suggesting
anything of the sort.

More a matter of presentation.

We viewed the MG5 and MG6

you submitted electronically
to the CPS.

The MG6 didn't refer to
any evidence

that would undermine
the Prosecution case.

Basically,
you sold the Prosecutor

on the evidence
in favour of Farmer's guilt,

played down
the evidence against.

Are you proposing that
I should have disregarded

the powerful evidence
against Michael Farmer

and released a potentially
dangerous offender?

No, no. That is not what
we are talking about here,

Detective Chief Inspector
Huntley, as well you know.

We're not mind-readers.

We don't know whether
Michael Farmer is guilty or not.

All that's expected of us
as police officers

is that we do our duty
to the letter of the law.

The letter.

Now, you were a bit of a high
flier in your time, Roseanne,

weren't you?

Graduate entrant.
Fast-tracked for promotion.

DI before you were 30.

Then you hit the wall.

I started a family, sir.

You stood still while other
people kept climbing the ladder.

Operation Trapdoor is an
extremely high-profile inquiry.

Get a result, it puts your
stalled career back on track.

You were under pressure, weren't
you, Roseanne, to get a result?

- No, sir.
- Pressure from the top?

No, sir.

Come on.
No movement for months.

Press telling women the streets
aren't safe. Come off it.

I discharged my duty correctly

and the matter is now
in the hands of the courts.

The matter, DCI Huntley,
is whether or not

you knowingly and willingly
hoodwinked the Crown Prosecutor

into authorising charges
against Michael Farmer

despite there being good reason
to doubt his guilt.

I've got no doubt about
Michael Farmer's guilt.

No?

DS Arnott.

Document 17 in your folders.

Transcript of interview
with Michael Farmer.

Asked to account
for his whereabouts

around the time of
Leonie's disappearance,

Mr Farmer referred to
a hospital admission.

He misled my detectives.

He's an emotionally
and intellectually

vulnerable suspect
who got a detail wrong.

Follow-up by AC-12
proves Michael Farmer

was a hospital in-patient
at the time of

Leonie Collersdale's
disappearance.

DS Neil Twyler reported to me

that Michael Farmer
had given this new information

in a post-charge interview.

Michael Farmer's routine is
that he visits his grandmother

between 7:30pm
and 8:30pm every night

and starts work at 10pm.

Farmer visited City General
Hospital at 11:30pm

on the 25th of January.

Leonie Collersdale was last
seen just after 9pm.

This gave Farmer sufficient
time to carry out the offence

and subsequently
to attend the hospital

in the effort to
fabricate an alibi.

Furthermore, the hospital found
nothing wrong with Farmer

and he was discharged,

which fits with it all being
a deliberate deception.

No, no, no, no, no.

This is information you
should have known earlier,

DCI Huntley - far, far earlier.

And, in my view,
the reason you didn't know it

is because you were itching
to charge this suspect

come what may.

That's an inflammatory
accusation.

Federation rep or not,
you will address me as "sir".

And as far as I'm concerned,
DCI Huntley,

two hours is an
extremely narrow margin

for our fella to abduct
that wee girl,

transport her across town,
do away with her

and then get himself
up to the hospital.

- DS Arnott.
- Image 47 again.

The man you say
is Michael Farmer,

despite his partial alibi.

Biometric analysis
of the suspect.

Estimation of his height is
limited by large error margins.

However, the camera angle
permits accurate estimation

of the suspect's shoe size.

I haven't seen this before.
Where did you get this?

The suspect wears size 10s.
Michael Farmer wears size 8s.

Will someone tell me
where this came from?

Our source is
confidential information.

Item reference TJI-9, the
previously-mentioned boot print

detected at Farmer's home.

Size 10.

No match to any footwear
belonging to Michael Farmer.

There's the man you should be
looking for- up there.

Sir, I am very grateful
for this new information

and I will order my team
to look into it without delay.

Ah, well, that's great but
the issue here, DCI Huntley,

is whether you're fit to be
the one giving those orders.

Now, in my opinion, you have
failed in your lawful duty

to consider
exculpatory evidence

and I am fearful that this
young fella, Michael Farmer,

may suffer
a miscarriage of justice.

Therefore, I'm gonna recommend
to your senior officer

that a new
Senior Investigating Officer

be appointed to
Operation Trapdoor,

and that you be reassigned.
This interview is terminated.

How many ops as big as Trapdoor
have you ever run?

Thought so.

(Sobs)

You were a bit of a high flier
in your time, Roseanne,

weren't you?

Graduate entrant.
Fast-tracked for promotion.

DI before you were 30.

- Then you hit the wall.
- I started a family, sir.

You stood still while other
people kept climbing the ladder.

Operation Trapdoor is an
extremely high-profile inquiry.

Get a result and it puts your
stalled career back on track.

PHONE MESSAGE:
This is Tim Ifield.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

Tim, Steve Arnott.

I know you're on days off but
I need you to return my calls.

We're looking into the evidence
in the Farmer case

and I need your input.
Thanks again for the biometrics.

They worked a treat, mate.
Call me, OK?

- All right?
- All right.

I didn't know you were in.

I just listened to the DIR of
your interview with Huntley.

She isn't the first SIO
to buff evidence.

- She took it badly.
- Is that how it seemed to you?

Ooh, congratulations!

- Ah, thanks, Maneet.
- What's that?

Only gone and passed
her National Inspectors' Exam.

- Congratulations.
- Cheers, mate.

I didn't know you'd entered.

Well, I kept shtum in case
I went down in flames.

I know it's a bit soon
but I took so long

getting my act together
to make DS,

I'm not gonna let things slide.

You're coming up on the rails.

- I'd better...
- Yeah, you better watch out.

Well done, mate.

Kate.

Well, this is great news.

- Congratulations. Well done.
- Thank you, sir.

You know, it's great for you.
Reflects well on the department.

And er...

I shall be taking my fair share
of the credit, don't you worry!

- (Laughter)
- But, you know,

I think we should find a bit of
time and maybe, you know,

we could discuss your future.

Yeah. I'd like that, sir.
Thank you.

I'm following the shift
of my undercover

but I could do a drink
one night...?

- Erm...
- Or in the office next week.

Yeah. That's the ticket.

Anyway, look, well done again.

- Thanks again, sir.
- Yeah, really well done.

(Phone ringing and chatter)

Look lively.

New gaffer's ready.

- Morning.
ALL: Morning, sir.

For those who don't know me,
I'm DCI Ian Buckells.

For those who don't read
the Chief Super's emails,

I'm now running
Operation Trapdoor.

First order of business...

a possible alibi
for Michael Farmer

and some biometrics
relating to Balaclava Man.

DCI Buckells?

DS Arnott.

Come with me, please, sir.

Now, you know who I am,
don't you, son?

Yes, sir.

You were a DI at Kingsgate nick
during an undercover operation

that was carried out
by one of my team in 2012.

The officers she's working with
at present

have all been vetted but none
of us could anticipate that

the new Senior Investigating
Officer was gonna be you.

Now, I do not want to pull
my officer off this job

and I'm sure
you don't want to see

all that time and money
and effort

- go up the spout, do you, son?
- No, sir.

Because, if it did,

the world and his wife
would know who's to blame.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

That's the spirit.

MESSAGE: This is Tim Ifield.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

(Ringing tone)

- (Phone buzzes)
- Hi.

Has Tim Ifield
come back to work yet?

He hasn't returned my calls.

(Softly) Negative.

Received.

(Buzzer)

(Buzzer)

WOMAN: Hello?
- Police officer.

I'm sorry to trouble you.
Could you let me in, please?

(Buzzer)

Thanks, miss.
Stay where you are, please.

Tim? Steve Arnott.

Tim! Steve!

- When did you see him last?
- Not for a few days.

(Letterbox flap opens)

Stay out and control access.
In with me.

(Police radio chatter)

(Police radio chatter)

You're not getting near this.

Calm down, mate.
What do you expect?

Crime's up on the Box
and it's one of their own.

What's it look like up there?

You've got an interest.
I get that.

It'll be handled by an external
team if only for welfare issues.

We're three DS's and one DC.
Who put you in charge?

This has gone through
my gaffer.

You want to take it up
with him, be my guest.

What did you expect, mate?
We had to tell our gaffer.

- Who's in charge here?
- I am.

- You're relieved.
- What authority do you have?

This isn't Operation Trapdoor.

I'm Duty DCI
on Major Violent Crime.

Jodie, can you get
a decision log up and running?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Neil, scene log.

I've already got
a scene log going.

Once we've got the scene log
up and running, you can sign in,

- we'll go up for a recce.
- No way, no. No.

- You're not going in.
- Great.

Please stand down.

You've been given
a lawful order.

If DCI Huntley doesn't
put you on paper, I will.

(Sirens approaching)

RUPAL: Principal point
of entry.

Damage due to forced entry by
police officers this afternoon

under Section 17,
Preservation of Life.

Looks like the offender did
a pretty decent job

of cleaning up after himself.

- You OK?
- Go ahead.

These tools, whatever they
were for, haven't been used.

Cause of death
looks like the neck laceration.

Nicked the jugular vein.

Not much blood on his clothing,
considering.

He'll have taken
a while to die.

From the signs of a clean-up,
he could've been moving around.

Distal portions of
second, third

and fourth digits of right hand
have been amputated.

I'll look round
the other rooms quickly

and then I want to get
the team in, OK?

Fine.

RUPAL:
FC, You're good to come up.

MAN: Received.

You're taking it worse than me.

I didn't realise
you were so close.

Just when it's someone
you know...

Senseless...

Action area seems to be
round the body.

Not much in the way of spatter,
but swab what you can,

plus all potential
points of entry.

DCI Huntley.
We should talk outside

and let the forensics crack on,
yeah?

- Blood splatter.
RUPAL: Brilliant, Kevin.

Let's get it photographed,
marked and swabbed.

- DCI Huntley.
- Very good, sir.

Well done, everyone.
I'll be on...

the radio outside
if you need me.

(Police radio chatter)

Yeah, it's OK. I've got this,
DS Arnott. Thank you.

Are you feeling unwell,
DCI Huntley?

He was one of our own and it's
already been a stressful week.

Yes. In which case,
DS Arnott's point

about the value of an outside
investigation is well made.

With respect, sir, I disagree.

This is our patch, our victim,
our specialisation.

In my considered opinion, we're
best qualified to handle this.

(Chuckles) Hang on a second.

I'm the senior ranking officer
here, darling.

Yes, you are. And I thank you
to use gender neutral language,

and remind you that this is
a fresh investigation

bearing no relation
to Operation Trapdoor.

You're at liberty to take this
up with my supervision team.

But, in the meantime,

I'm gonna get on with finding
the bastard who did this.

Sir.

We all knew Tim Ifield,
but it's important

we don't let our emotions
get on top of us.

Do everything by the book.

That wee girl has just
turned the corner with me.

No way can she run this, sir.

All right, back to work.

Tim Ifield was our best asset
in clearing Michael Farmer.

We've just lost him.

Superintendent Hastings.

Look, why don't you
take yourself off home.

Yeah?

Nice one, ma'am.

AC-12 leaving with their tail
between their legs.

(Low chatter)

Swab of worktop blood spatter.
Item Reference KRG-13.

- (Ringing tone)
KATE: Yeah?

Tim was convinced there was a
conspiracy to protect a suspect

in the offences Michael
Farmer's been charged with.

Sounds like
a motive to kill him.

Another suspect wouldn't be
the only person to benefit.

What do you mean?

Any way Huntley could have
known about Tim coming to us?

Not that I know of.

You said, in her interview,
she was caught out

by evidence supplied by Tim.

I don't think she had any idea
Tim was talking to us.

(Footsteps)

Can't talk now. I'm at work.

MAN: See you.
- Cheers. See you.

(Keypad beeping)

Is all the evidence
back from the crime scene?

Yeah.

Would you do me a huge favour
and see if they found a laptop

or mobile phone?

Yep, OK.

(Door closes)

MAN: Hey, Kev.
- All right, mate.

MAN: Don't tell me
you couldn't use the exercise.

(Man chuckles)

KEV: A bit of running around
wouldn't do you any harm.

(Man laughs)

MAN: Night, night, mate.
KEV: Good night.

(Sighs) Sorry.

No mobile or laptop found.

Oh, well. Thanks, anyway.

- Long night.
- No worries.

Night, night.

I thought I heard your car
ages ago.

I got called out again
straightaway.

I didn't want to wake you.

JODIE: Fingerprints and DNA
detected at Tim's flat

all matched Tim Ifield.
No-one else, unfortunately.

What about the blood spatter
found on the worktop?

KRG-13.

Sorry, ma'am, that matched
Tim Ifield's blood as well.

OK.

A search of the flat
failed to recover

Tim Ifield's mobile phone
and laptop computer.

So, we can assume
that the killer

stole the phone and the laptop.

Is there a track on the phone?

The last recorded position
was Tim's flat.

Whoever took it was
smart enough to switch it off.

Oh. That's frustrating.

Maybe Tim had been in
communication with the killer?

JODIE: I've been in touch
with his service providers.

Yes?

Someone's come up
in his contacts.

Who?

Who?

We're gonna record this, Hana.
Is that OK?

- Yes, of course.
- Thank you.

Would you like a tea
or a coffee?

I'm fine, thank you.

Hana, I'm DC Jodie Taylor.

The limitations of your
secondment have been agreed.

Ifield's murder is
nothing to do with you.

With respect, ma'am,
Hana Reznikova

was supposedly
the intended third victim.

It's a link to my case.

JODIE: We'd like to ask you
some questions

about a man
named Timothy Ifield.

Do you know the name?

HANA: Yes.
- How do you know him?

He was a customer at the café
where I work.

And I leave out business cards
for my cleaning work

and he told me
he needed a cleaner.

And how many times
did you go to his flat?

Only once.

He told me to come when he was
home so he could explain to me

what he needed me to do
and we could agree the price.

And did you see Timothy Ifield
that day?

No.

- Why not?
- Uh, he texted me.

We have a text message
from Tim's phone to yours:

- "Ill. Don't come in."
- Yes.

A few seconds later,
there was a second message:

"Sorry. Will call later
to fix new appointment."

- Yes.
- And did he call?

No.

Er, I suppose I thought

he'd changed his mind
about the cleaning.

Did you know Tim Ifield
in any other way?

What work he did? Anything else
he was involved in?

No.

Tim was on site
the night you were rescued

from Michael Farmer's house.

Do you remember him at all,
Hana?

No.

Whatever Hana knew, Tim
definitely knew who Hana was.

Yes.

What was he doing,
getting her round his flat?

This has come as a shock
for all of us.

Thanks for letting me
in on this, ma'am.

I know we've had
our differences

but, for what it's worth,
I don't think they'd have

replaced you as SIO
if you were a bloke.

JODIE: Have you received any
unusual calls or emails since?

- (Door closes)
HANA: No.

Huntley's relented a bit,
as far as I'm concerned,

and I've managed to get eyes on
Tim's communication history.

Fortunately,
nothing connecting him to us.

Turns out that Tim was
a bit of a security nut,

so there was nothing backed up
online, according to his ISP.

There's nothing suggesting
he alerted anyone but us

about the possibility of another
suspect in Farmer's offences.

Also, zero communication
between Tim and Huntley

in the time before his death.

Their last communication
was professional-

emails about forensics - sent
on the night of Farmer's arrest.

- Since then, nothing.
- Right.

Any clues
as to what Tim was doing

getting Hana to
come to his flat?

No, it's a blank. We're running
background checks on Hana

but she still appears to be
an innocent party.

Her explanation holds up
as to why she was

the last person
contacted by Tim.

Either Tim sent
the text himself,

or- if he was dead-
the killer did.

That fits with the phone
being stolen by the killer.

Tim had a high-tech security
system installed in his flat.

The cameras fed
direct to his computer.

There's no images stored.

Another reason we need to
find his phone and computer.

Yeah. We do.

- Night, mate.
- Night.

Hi, it's DC Taylor again.
I have an ISP address.

It's Timothy, dot,
J, dot, Ifield.

Ifield is I-F-I-E-L-D.

L-E-O-N-I-E. Collersdale.
C-O-L-L-E...

I'll phone you back.

No. Please, as you were.

Firstly, the Chief
Superintendent and I

would like to express
our condolences

for the loss of one of
your forensic co-ordinators.

DCI Huntley, good to see you.

We're going to do everything
in our power to find his killer.

We're delving into his personal
life, explore that angle.

Also looking at the possibility
this is a revenge attack, sir.

Recently released offenders
Tim might've helped put away.

HUNTLEY: He was such a decent,
hard-working bloke, sir.

It's so hard
to fathom a grudge.

Of course.
Right, well, carry on.

We'll find the culprit, sir.

I wonder if I could have
a moment in private, sir?

You've not responded
to any of my calls

regarding the decision
to replace me.

You need clarity,
but it's AC-12.

It's out of my hands.

I'm on a tight schedule.
I'm sorry.

- Moving on. Operation Trapdoor?
- Sir.

- Ah. Any new leads, Buckells?
- The body parts we found

are the partial remains
of Leonie Collersdale,

the second prostitute
that went missing.

Unfortunately, they were
clean of anyone else's DNA.

Small mercies.

At least we're allowed
to call them prostitutes again.

(Low chatter)

That's a big pint
of that cats' piss

that you young fellas
seem to like so much.

That whiskey's probably
older than me.

Aye. (Chuckles)
And all the better for it.

No, I just thought
this would be a...

a better way for us
to discuss your ambitions.

I know that if I put you
on a case,

you'll see it through to
the bitter end, come what may.

Thank you, sir.

And stepping up to Inspector,
it's er...same proposition.

There's no half measures.

I'm ready and able, sir.
Whatever it takes.

Do you mind if I ask if you're
having a meeting with Kate, too?

I can hardly meet her
for a drink, can I?

An attractive young woman
like that, how would it look?

I might as well be seen
running around

with one of Pan's People.

Anyway, it's good to talk, sir.

- Oh, yeah.
- Your health.

Yeah.

(Door lock clicks)

(Flushing)

(Beeping)

(Knocking)

Tim Ifield's
post-mortem report.

Great.

Cause of death
was exsanguination

following a wound to the neck
that severed his jugular vein.

Now, it's a shallow wound

so possibly there's a question
mark over the level of intent.

Also a partial thickness burn
on the left hand

with traces of cooking oil.

The shallowness of the burn
suggests this was accidental

and related to a frying pan
found at the scene.

Furthermore,
defensive wounds on the hands

support a struggle
of some kind.

Bloodstaining of Tim's clothing
was low,

suggesting an outer layer
of clothing was removed.

And white, high-density
polythene fibres

detected on Tim's clothing
suggest

he was wearing a forensic
oversuit at the time of death.

As you know, sir,
they're designed not to lint,

which suggests he was
in a struggle.

The killer was worried
that the suit

was contaminated with his DNA?

Most likely, sir. Fingertips
were amputated post mortem,

presumably as part of
the killer's forensic clean-up.

So Tim tried to grab
a handful of his assailant?

Yes, sir. Tim might've realised
his wound was fatal

and did his best to contaminate
the killer with his blood

and to get skin cells
under his fingernails.

Unfortunately for us,
the killer was wise to it.

He disposed of the clothes and
then he disposed of the fingers.

No witnesses to anyone entering
or leaving the premises.

But we can construct
a basic profile of the killer.

- Very good.
- Pre-mortem pattern of injuries

suggest the killer and Tim got
into some kind of altercation.

He took the time to carry out
a comprehensive clean-up

of the crime scene.

The only anomaly is
he didn't remove the body.

Hm. What are you thinking, son?

(Exhales)
The killer was disturbed.

Most likely,
this was Hana Reznikova

when she arrived at the flat
to carry out cleaning work.

And something else?

Or the killer was incapable
of lifting the body.

Small, or female, or both.

(Sighs)

- It's only a possibility, sir.
- We are in no position

to consider Roz Huntley as
a suspect, not without cause.

- We should keep an open mind.
- Well, that's a given.

Or we should run a parallel
investigation, sir, into Huntley

and into Tim's murder,
with zero reciprocity.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Kate's close to her.

Let's see what she brings back
first, all right?

DS Twyler from
Polk Avenue Station.

I'm chasing up an admission
on 25th of January.

Michael Farmer.

Ma'am, I need to follow up
on a couple of points

- from your interview.
- Put them in writing.

You'll get an answer
in ten working days.

The longer our inquiry takes,

the longer
you're out in the cold.

- What do you want?
- (He closes door)

How would you describe your
relationship with Tim Ifield?

We were colleagues.

Not close.
But we respected each other.

Certainly, from my side,
that's how it seemed.

You think he thought different?

Who knows what people
think of each other?

That your answer?

We didn't talk much,
didn't socialise.

So you've never been
to his flat?

Yes.
To investigate his murder.

I mean while he was alive.

No.

OK. Thanks, ma'am.

That's been very helpful.

Ideally, I'd like to come up to
the hospital and talk to anyone

who can account for the
whereabouts of Mr Farmer

on the night of the 25th.

RUPAL: Oh, OK, that's a pain.
- Rupal.

- Sorry. Is this a good time?
- Email me when you've got it.

- OK.
- Thanks.

What's up?

I heard we didn't find
any foreign DNA

on Leonie Collersdale's body.

Pisser. We did a thorough job.

Would you mind
having another go?

DCI Buckells is SIO now. Sorry.

Rupal...

I'm not broadcasting this...

..but I'm asking for it
in relation to Tim's murder.

Uh, I don't see the connection.

At this stage of the inquiry,
it's highly confidential.

I'm sorry. Would you mind?

Er, sure.

- OK.
- Thanks, Rupal.

(Beeping)

Come in.

Ah, Kate.
Thanks for coming in. Erm...

I've considered
your application,

and you really are a tremendous
asset to this department...

but I just think
you need to develop

your leadership qualities
a bit more

before I can support you
for Inspector.

- I'm sorry.
- Right. I see, sir.

Will it be Steve?

Well, in my view, he has those
extra years under his belt.

It was a very close-run thing,
Kate, very close indeed.

Thank you, sir.

(Beeping)

BUCKELLS: That raises the
possibility that this person...

- Morning.
- ..is involved in the murders

of the two prostitutes
and Tim Ifield.

Any further progress on finding
the rest of Leonie's body?

Sorry, boss, no more biological
material was found at the scene.

RUPAL: Although no more
biological material was found

at the site of
Leonie Collersdale's body parts,

there has been
a significant new finding.

Yes?

I'm not sure I should say it
in front of everyone.

This was from further tests
ordered by DCI Huntley.

What are you doing
interfering with my operation?

I'm not.

So what is this
significant new finding?

Everyone needs to be
across this. Come on.

- Go ahead, Rupal.
- A trace of foreign DNA

was found on Leonie
Collersdale's partial torso.

- ID?
- Yes.

It matches to Tim Ifield.

(She exhales)

What we just heard
does not leave this room.

Jesus Christ...

(Rowdy chatter in background)

Stop.

(Buzzer)

Move.

Beast's made a right mess
for himself.

I didn't do it.
Someone else must have.

Beast makes a mess,
Beast gets to live in it.

I didn't do it. I didn't do it.

We're all in shock.

That's why I wanted
to include you, sir,

before someone makes
a rash move.

Thank you, Roz.
Do you have a hypothesis yet?

Naturally,
we're asking questions

about Tim Ifield's private
life, but...frankly, sir,

I'm struggling to make sense
of it all myself.

Understood. Absolutely.

Well done
for keeping a lid on this.

- Sir.
- Thank you, Roz.

If I may, sir?

There's also the question
of who was the source

of AC-12's case against me.

In my interview,
they said it was confidential

but we found Tim's flat
full of conspiracy theories

and it occurs to me the most
likely informant was Tim Ifield.

In which case, his credibility
is completely undermined.

I'm worried Tim Ifield
was deliberately

confounding the investigation
to cover his tracks.

And now AC-12
are doing his work for him.

Between you and me,

I was never happy with AC-12's
recommendation to replace you.

Thank you, sir.

Still, Operation Trapdoor
belongs to Ian Buckells now...

and he's looking at evidence
exculpating Michael Farmer.

Will he find any, do you think?

The best he's got is a boot
print from Farmer's home,

and that in itself,
does nothing to overturn

the weight of inculpatory
evidence against Farmer,

even if we do now
have to examine

Tim Ifield's role in all this.

AC-12's inquiry
seriously threatens

the force's credibility.

And if I were to go against
their recommendations...

if I were to reinstate you...?

I'm convinced
Tim Ifield's murder

and Michael Farmer's crimes
are connected.

I believe I've demonstrated
complete discretion.

No-one looks good
if it comes out

one of our forensic staff
tampered with evidence.

No-one looks good if it comes
out we charged the wrong man.
