(Screaming)

Ma'am, we've just picked up
a bystander triple-nine

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

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

Michael Farmer,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion of abduction
and attempted murder.

Is this you, Michael?

The 24-year-old
has been charged.

A young boy might go to prison
for a crime he didn't commit.

Huntley's hiding something
about how the case against

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

No. There's the man you should
be looking for up there.

- New gaffer's ready.
- For those who don't know me,

I'm DCI Ian Buckells. I'm now
running Operation Trapdoor.

I do not want to
pull my officer off this job.

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

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

Don't leave before you
make an appointment.

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

What have you got
against Farmer?

Except him being retarded
enough for you to frame!

(Whirring)

Fingertips were amputated
post mortem.

HASTINGS: So Tim tried to grab
a handful of his assailant.

A swab of worktop blood
spatter. Item reference KRG-13.

RUPAL: A trace of foreign DNA
was found

on Leonie Collersdale's
partial torso.

It matches to Tim Ifield.

Team briefing, one minute.

- Team briefing.
- Office or meeting room, boss?

Incident room.

I've been thinking we should
appeal for more witnesses

in the Michael Farmer case.

As he's been charged,
perhaps they've decided

it's not necessary
coming forward.

Erm, sorry...

Ah, Ian, join us.
Joint team briefing.

Operation Trapdoor
and Tim Ifield's murder.

I'm not being funny, Roz,
but what you up to?

I've cleared this with Assistant
Chief Constable Hilton.

- No-one's said a word to me.
- Sorry.

Kate, I promised ACC Hilton
complete discretion.

I don't want him being
embarrassed by any of this

getting back to East Mids.

Op Trapdoor. Although Michael
Farmer's been charged...

..we're still dealing with
recent developments.

Just there, guys.

Namely,
the finding of body parts

that have been matched
to our second victim,

Leonie Collersdale.

I cannot emphasise
confidentiality enough.

You are not to discuss
outside of this inquiry

that Leonie Collersdale's
body parts

bore traces of
Tim Ifield's DNA.

We've never found any
connection in the phone records

between Tim Ifield
and Leonie Collersdale.

So we're looking for one
between Tim and Michael Farmer.

Maybe they were accomplices.

Or maybe Farmer had nothing
to do with Leonie's murder.

- Despite being charged with it.
- There's mountains of evidence.

Ma'am, I've been
running a check

on the tools
found in the flat.

May I? Sorry.

No, please. Thank you, Jodie.

They appeared brand-new,
the tools.

So, I've looked into recent
purchases in the local area.

And I found this...on CCTV...

..from the night
of Tim's murder.

- Sir.
- God's sake, I'm busting.

Tie a knot in it.
What went on in there?

Since when's it my job
to do yours?

Put the report on my desk,
I'll take a look at it.

Don't do that.
You sound like a dick.

Yeah, well, this dick's
no grass for AC-12.

He's a DCI and I didn't get
there by sticking my neck out.

I got there by letting
the other buggers.

Maybe that's why
you're still a DS.

I wish I could shed more light,
but I'm stuck at the moment.

I don't want to push Huntley
and make her suspicious.

No disrespect to Kate, sir.

It's no fault of hers.
We can't sit on our hands.

Ifield was police staff,
was implicated in a murder,

and he got murdered.

Huntley's reinstatement
puts her in the box seat

to manipulate the inquiry
just like she did with Farmer.

- We've got to get in the game.
- And put Huntley on her guard?

My undercover's
much more subtle.

I know
I'm the blunt instrument.

But this is bigger now
than just being about Huntley.

I'm sorry, Kate,
but Steve's right.

We can't exist off the crumbs
off Huntley's table.

Our informant has been killed.

I won't rest until I find out
the who, the how and the why.

Sir.

Opening a wider inquiry
will give us access

to all the evidence of
Huntley's team.

Right. Well, back to
the coal face, the pair of you,

unless you've got
some more egg-sucking tips

- for your granny?
- Sir.

Really, Ted, there's no need.
As you were.

Thank you, sir.
I'll come straight to the point.

I'm opening
a full-spectrum inquiry

into the murder
of Timothy Ifield

and, as per protocol,
there will be no reciprocity

regarding DCI Huntley's
investigation.

I also register
that my considered counsel

in respect of DCI Roseanne
Huntley has been disregarded.

Now I see why you're
upping the ante.

Challenge AC-12 at your peril?

What?
You didn't reinstate Huntley

because you were worried
that Farmer's defence

would make capital of the fact

that the Senior Investigating
Officer was replaced?

It was thanks to Roz Huntley's
diligence we detected

Ifield's involvement in one of
the prostitute murders.

I'd say she's earned
a second chance.

And my team is intent to give
Michael Farmer a second chance.

And we shall see
which one of us is right, sir,

when we have access
to all the evidence.

All.

- AC-12. Open the gate.
- Right.

Sorry.

- Ma'am...
- It's OK, Jodie.

Keep calm, everyone.

(Keypad beeps)

All officers, go to your desks.

You'll each be questioned
by an AC-12 caseworker.

You'll surrender all materials
relating to Operation Trapdoor

and the investigation into
the murder of Timothy Ifield.

Failure to comply
will be a breach

of your duties
and responsibilities

under Police Conduct
Regulations

and may lead to a misconduct
charge under said regulations.

OK.

If you've got plans,
cancel them.

This takes as long as it takes.

MANEET: File key words are
Trapdoor and Ifield.

Guard the door. No-one goes
in or out without my say so.

MANEET: Thank you
for your cooperation.

All relevant files are to be
surrendered for copying

by AC-12 officers.

- T-10. Cheers.
- OK.

- T-11. On you go.
- Thanks.

You're all familiar
with this image.

This is what Huntley's team's
been keeping from you.

CCTV vid-cap of the car park
of a DIY superstore

at 19:33 on the 17th March.

That's the night
before Tim Ifield

sent his final text message.

Inside the store,
19:49 the same evening.

He's got rid of the balaclava
so as not to arouse suspicion

but he keeps his head down
at all times.

He's put on a baseball cap.

Unfortunately, this is
the best image they've got.

Crime scene photograph
from Timothy Ifield's flat

showing tools resemble those
being purchased on 17th March.

This DIY store is less than
half a mile from Tim's flat.

So, this is Tim Ifield's
murderer?

Or one detail from Tim's post-
mortem that was overlooked.

I reckoned, at the time,
it was an incidental find.

A number of dark wool fibres

were detected in
Tim's hair and nose.

He was wearing the balaclava?

None of these items
of clothing -

the balaclava,
the jacket or gloves-

were found in Tim's flat,

so we can't link them to Tim
with 100% certainty.

What's our level of certainty
regarding this person's ID?

His head's down
in all the images,

so facial recognition software
hasn't provided us with a match.

But body matching gives a 90%
probability it's Tim Ifield.

So Balaclava Man
could be Tim Ifield.

Yes, sir. That's what we
now have to consider.

For DIR, I am showing
Michael Farmer

a photograph of Timothy Ifield.

Michael, do you recognise
this gentleman?

For the DIR, the interviewee
is not responding.

Michael, are you sure?

Farmer denied any connection
with Tim Ifield.

Also, we looked through all of
Farmer's phone records

and there's never been
any contact between them.

Sorry, boss.

I was wondering, could there
be another explanation,

- a simpler one.
- What could that be?

That Tim was framing
Michael Farmer.

It's a valid thought, Neil,
don't get me wrong.

But it's a bit much
to ask us to discount

the mass of evidence
against Michael Farmer.

It's mad to think
Farmer's not guilty.

Yes.

There is one thing
we can be sure of.

What's that, Neil?

Whoever killed Tim,
it wasn't Michael Farmer.

He was in prison.

We find Tim Ifield's murderer,
we crack this case.

Absolutely.

Thanks, Neil, Jodie.

You're on shift at Polk Avenue
in the morning.

You need to get some kip, mate.

I could say the same.

If Tim's Balaclava Man,
why'd he come to us

saying Michael Farmer's
not guilty?

He wouldn't.

He'd be content to let Roz
Huntley send down Michael Farmer

for the crimes
he was committing.

Instead, he came to us worried
Huntley got the wrong man.

More than that.
He accused her

of deliberately protecting
the real offender.

What?

The CCTV gives us
Tim's murder timeline.

Tim's alive and kicking out and
about on the night of the 17th.

The following morning
was when Hana

called round the flat
for cleaning and wasn't let in.

- Correct.
- Didn't you report

Huntley called in sick
one morning?

- No-one could get hold of her?
- Yeah.

That was the morning
of the 18th.

The morning after the last time
Tim was seen alive.

Bit of a coincidence
Huntley goes AWOL

- right on the murder timeline.
- What are you saying?

That it makes no sense
for Tim to be Balaclava Man.

That his accusation
that Huntley

was protecting the real
offender could be true.

That Huntley's conduct
was suspicious

around the time of
Tim's murder.

(Sighs) Look...

I don't know how it all fits.
But the timing does.

So maybe we should start
thinking the unthinkable.

Roz Huntley isn't just involved
in framing Michael Farmer.

She's also somehow involved
in Tim's murder.

Well, you're right
about one thing.

That is the unthinkable.

This is starting to feel like
harassment, DS Arnott.

Harassment,
anti-corruption inquiry.

Tom-ay-to, tom-ah-to.

PC Bindra.

Ma'am, if we may, we're taking
your mobile phone in evidence.

- You can't do that without...
- Jodie.

It's a police-issue device,
not my own personal property.

They're at liberty to examine
it without authority.

Thank you, ma'am.

I've got nothing to hide.

Thank you very much, ma'am.
You're at liberty to collect

a replacement device
at your convenience.

- Sorry, ma'am.
- No. No problem, Farida.

Someone's come forward.

From the appeal
you asked us to put out.

At the time, she didn't realise
the significance.

Her story fits Michael Farmer's
offences for location and date.

Great. Brilliant.
Is Jodie still here?

She's finished for the day,
ma'am. Shall I get Neil?

It needs to be
a female detective.

Sorry, ma'am.
I couldn't help overhearing,

but I'm PIP Level 2
and video-interview trained

re vulnerable victims of crime.

OK.
Let's see what you're made of.

Melanie, my name's Detective
Sergeant Kate Flynn.

I'm one of the detectives
looking into the attacks

on a number of local women.

Farida says you might have
new information

that can help
with our inquiries?

- This happened a while ago.
- That's OK. What happened?

I was walking home from
college through the estate.

What happened to you, Melanie?

A weird guy
started talking to me.

"Weird" how?

He kept talking,
even though I wasn't answering.

I just kept walking faster.

Then he grabbed hold of me.

I'm sorry we have to keep
asking you these questions,

but what else did he do to you?

He said I was pretty
and he wanted to kiss me

and he wanted me to
come back to his house.

What did you do?

I just ran as fast as I could

and then when I looked back,
he wasn't there any more.

Did he give a name?

I don't remember any name.

Why didn't you report this
at the time?

I suppose I just wanted to
put it all behind me.

I know this has been
really difficult for you.

You've been a big help.

What we need next from you

is to help identify
who this man was.

I've... I've told you,
I don't know who he is.

We'd set up an identity parade

where we can show you
video footage.

We need a positive ID
that can stand up in court.

I'd have to go to court?

No. No way.

I know it's a really big thing
for you to have to do...

I'm not doing it. No way.

KATE: We'll have
an identity parade.

- I can't. No way. I can't.
- It's done by video.

They can't see you.

I never would've come
if I'd been told.

He could do this
to someone else. We...

- We need your help.
- I wasn't expecting this.

Melanie, he's a very
dangerous man.

He has to be stopped.

And the only way is for
a court to put him behind bars.

Please can you help us
do that, Melanie?

Brave girl. Well done.

- Maneet.
- Sarge.

There are no suspicious entries
in DCI Huntley's call history

or any suspicious texts
or emails

during the murder timeline.

All the calls from when she
left Polk Avenue Station

are from family members
in her contact list.

What about GPS data?

Unfortunately,
the phone was switched off

for a large chunk of time.

But the last GPS location
on the 17th,

and first on the 18th,
are DCI Huntley's home address,

consistent with her story
of being off sick.

Sorry, sarge.

Every piece of evidence
that Roz Huntley's got

on Tim Ifield's murder,
we go through it.

Every piece,
no matter how small.

Funnily enough, that's what
we've all been doing, sarge.

Hi, Melanie. This way, please.

Thanks for coming in again.

PC Nayar's gonna
take you through

the video identification
process.

You'll see nine unrelated men
of a similar age and appearance.

All the videos
are pre-recorded.

None of the men
are in the police station.

They can't see you,
can't hear you,

none of them know about
who's gonna watch the videos.

Any resemble the man that
attacked you, tell PC Nayar.

- OK.
- Ready to start?

Melanie,
as we explained earlier,

we're not allowed to stay
in the room with you.

It has to be an officer
unfamiliar with the suspect.

OK.

Each suspect is numbered

and you'll be shown
each suspect twice.

At the end, I'll ask you

if you can make
a positive identification.

Please, take a seat.

This one seems dead nervous.

(Door opens)

Melanie was able
to make a positive ID.

That's brilliant, Melanie.
Well done.

- Well done.
- Ma'am. Melanie.

It's really great work, Kate.
You delivered.

If there's one reason
why we do this job, that is it.

We protect life.

I have to inform you, Michael,
that the witness was able

to positively identify you
from the video.

Prior to the video
identification,

you denied
the witness's allegations.

I didn't mean to upset her.

You're now admitting
the allegations?

Michael...

Sorry. Yes.

I'm sorry.

Will you tell her I'm sorry?

Yes, we can do that, Michael,
but first I need to ask you

what you intended to do
to this woman.

Why did you want her
to come back to your house?

I was lonely.

Following a conversation
with the Senior Prosecutor,

I have the authority to charge
you with the following offence:

attempting to cause a person

to engage in sexual activity
without consent.

This charge will be included

in the charges against you
when you appear in court,

namely for the murder
of Baswinder Kaur,

the murder of
Leonie Collersdale,

the kidnapping and attempted
murder of Hana Reznikova.

Do you understand
these charges against you?

Please answer.

(Sobs quietly) Yes.

Time is now 10:20 and we are
switching off the machine.

I'd like some time alone
with my client.

I think we need to discuss
the best way forward.

Yes, of course.

Michael.

The charges against you
are going to be hard to fight.

We can try and fight them,
or we can consider the best way

to reduce the overall time
you end up serving in prison.

- For Christ's sake!
- All right, everybody.

- Look, just calm down, OK?
- I get why you're pissed off,

but the ID process
was by the book.

Witnesses are eager to please.

Non-verbal cues led the witness
to identify Michael Farmer

whether she recognised him
or not.

Well, she did recognise him.

Accuse someone like Michael, he
starts to believe he's guilty!

You've made your point.

We're meant to exonerate Farmer,
not send him down for longer!

We're meant to be
investigating Huntley,

Operation Trapdoor
and the murder of Tim Ifield.

Huntley shut you out,
so you played up to her.

- That's not what happened!
- Enough, the both of you.

Now, look,
if there are concerns regarding

the accuracy of
this identification -

legitimate concerns, Kate,
I might add-

then we can take you out,
reveal you as undercover,

and can make them
repeat the ID parade.

Sir, what's happened's
happened.

I've finally gained
Huntley's trust.

By framing an innocent man?

DS Arnott, whether this
undercover continues or not

is a matter entirely between
DS Fleming and myself.

- Therefore, you are dismissed.
- Sir.

- Kate...
- Sir, I don't know if

Farmer's guilty or innocent.
None of us do.

My job is to find out if Huntley
has committed process corruption

and I've just had
a massive breakthrough.

I was shut out and now I'm in.

All right. Very good. Carry on.

Thank you, sir.

See you.

How long we reckon before Farmer
changes his plea to guilty?

- A tenner says within the week.
- Don't count your chickens.

- (Chuckling)
- Hi.

I hope you don't mind, ma'am,
I was on the email.

You're very welcome. Thanks
for your contribution, Kate.

NEIL: Kate!
- I'm glad I could help.

And, ma'am,
I just want to apologise again

for how things started with us.

I was a bit of
a bull in a china shop.

I'm not quite that delicate.

All right. What have I missed?

Getting a round in.

Oh, great. Fancy another?

- No, I'm driving.
- Oh, shame.

I'll just get mine, then.

Give us a shout
if anyone wants one.

I would.

Now, Kate...

Um...could I ask you
a deeply personal question?

- Do you like curry?
- (Laughs)

Yeah, of course I like curry.

I'm gonna book the Dilshad.
Are you in?

Yeah, definitely.

Unfortunately,
this means you're going back.

Sorry, ma'am?

Despite all the leads
we've shared,

there's no link to your
East Mids missing person.

I don't see much point in you
continuing your secondment.

- Yeah, but...
STEVE: Enjoying the party?

How can I help you, DS Arnott?

Tim Ifield's DNA was found
on Leonie Collersdale's body.

You disclosed that
to Farmer's solicitor yet?

As you know, DS Arnott,
we're only obliged

to carry out full disclosure
prior to the trial.

You count on there
not being one?

What, are we doing
the defence's job?

- Kate...
- No. Just your own.

Night, ma'am.

You sleeping well while
an innocent man rots in jail?

Wanker.
Who does he think he is?

HUNTLEY: A tosser, that's who.

Night, sarge.

(Security gate beeps)

- All right?
- All right.

Roz didn't come for the curry
so I did an early swerve.

Got your favourite, though.
Lamb madras.

- (Beeping)
- I'll get the plates.

What's the state of
Huntley's marriage?

I get the impression
she's a boring suburban mum.

All the calls to Huntley's
phone on the night of the 17th,

morning of the 18th,
were from family members.

Her phone was off
and they eventually

came through as voicemails.

On the 17th, there's a call
from the home landline

at 18:06 to her mobile.

Only lasts a few seconds.
A misdial, maybe.

Yeah, but then they try again
a couple of hours later.

One of her kids asking if it's
OK to order in a Domino's.

If she's telling the truth,

by then her family should've
known her whereabouts.

The phone's home, she isn't.

(Lock clicks)

Ah.

(She winces)

(Exhales)

(Door opens)

Is that going OK?

I just got to keep it protected
while it heals.

- Keep reading if you like.
- No, no, it's fine.

I saw the Italian's reopened.

- That's good.
- Yeah.

We could go there on Friday or
Saturday night if you fancied.

I'm working Friday.

I think Soph's
got something Saturday.

Saturday, then.
Just me and you.

Sounds great.
I haven't been there for ages.

(She grunts softly)

Sorry. I'm shattered.

No, I'm sorry.

You've been under
so much pressure at work.

Do you want to talk about it?

Thanks. I just want to nod off.

OK.

Yes? DCI Buckells.

LIFT: Doors opening.

Mr Arnold. Nick Huntley.

Come on through. Have you been
offered a tea or a coffee?

I'm fine, thank you.

Excuse the state.

We're in the process
of moving floors.

No worries.

Right... How can I help you?

Legal advice.

Well, you've come to
the right place.

Suppose a man was found dead

and a suspect
in the murder inquiry

deliberately left their phone
at home to avoid GPS tracking.

What would you advise
the suspect?

We practise corporate law.

Hypothetically.

What would you
advise the suspect?

I can refer you to a colleague
at a criminal law firm.

It's not me I'm talking about.
It's your wife.

DS Arnott.

Where was your wife
on the night of the 17th

through to the morning
of the 18th of March?

Erm... (Clears throat)

Right...

Presumably,
you are aware of the law

regarding the compellability
of a spouse?

Normally, the spouse is the one
corroborating the alibi,

- not undermining it.
- Right.

You are disputing
your wife's alibi?

Wait, no...

Your wife claims she was home
the 17th and 18th,

recovering from illness.

Before I talk to you any more,

I would like to have a chat
with my wife.

Is there anything else I can
help you with today, officer?

"Mr Huntley unable to confirm
wife's whereabouts

- on the 17th, slash, 18th."
- No. I didn't say that.

"Mr Huntley denies the above."

I need to talk to Roz.

I need you to talk to me, sir.
Within 48 hours.

Better it's voluntary
than I have to come looking.

This DS Arnold, why is he
asking these questions?

Arnott. It's a work thing.
It's routine.

Well...he said
somebody had died.

It didn't seem like routine.

It's my work, Nick.

So we're not discussing it? Hm?
Since when?

Certain sensitive aspects
of my work

are inappropriate to share

outside the service
communications loop.

You know that.

Well, it didn't stop him
interviewing me.

They're anti-corruption.

They make a mountain
out of every molehill.

Anti-corruption?
What have you done?

Nothing.

Why erm...

Why didn't you let me know
where you were?

I told you. I left my phone
at home and I couldn't call.

You were at work?

It was a specialist op.
Not many people knew about it.

Seems like
no-one knew about it.

He had the impression
that you were at home, ill.

Roz, were you with someone?

I love you,
and I've always trusted you,

but for the sake of
our marriage,

and for the sake of
our kids...I need the truth.

OK.

AC-12 are investigating
one of my cases...

..looking for an angle
to discredit me.

Internal politics.
100% total bollocks.

I'm sorry they involved you...

but that is their kind of
mind game.

And the bastards get away
with it cos they claim

they're enforcing
professional standards.

You still haven't answered
my question.

I...was...working.

And there ends this crappy day.

I need a bath.

I love you.

(Keys rattle)

(Water running)

HASTINGS: Steve.
- I'll call you back.

DS Steve Arnott,
DC James Desford.

I'm putting you together
on the Huntley inquiry.

Is that OK? Any questions?
No? Good. Carry on.

Actually, it's Jamie,
not James.

- Great.
- Well, er, it's good to be

working with you, Steve.
All right to call you Steve?

We'll see.

Hi.

- (He knocks)
- Yeah?

- Me and Kate were doing fine.
- Of course you are.

But there's more ground
to cover now.

And the less Kate is here,
the safer it is for her.

- Sir...
- And if you're gonna step up,

I need you to train up
a new investigator.

I can't have one of
my Inspectors

gallivanting all over town,

chasing every last lead
that's going. Go on.

- Jamie.
- Hi. Maneet.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- First day.
- Yeah? How you getting on?

Yeah, good. So when's it due?

What? Are you saying
I look pregnant?

- Er, no, no, I was erm...
- (Laughs)

- Of course I am! End of June.
- Oh.

(Keypad beeps)

Tim's downstairs neighbour,
the nurse...

We ought to have another go
at finding out

if she saw anyone suspicious.

What's going on here?

Just getting on with things
while you were out.

Great.

Ma'am, we've looked back over
all cases Tim was involved in,

convictions that hinged
on forensic evidence,

where maybe the offender
held a grudge.

A violent offender,
recently released.

- And?
- Nothing.

- (Text alert)
JODIE: Nothing.

(He chuckles)

Can you stop that?

See, there's a lot of theories
kicking around here,

and a lack of basic coppering.

Tim's killer had to get in
that flat and he had to get out.

Who was in the area?
Who was in that street?

Who was hanging around
outside that flat?

Find him,
and that's the whole case.

It's not bleeding
rocket science.

Jez. How are you?

(Laughs) Hilarious, mate.

We already know who was there.

Who?

Hana Reznikova
was the last person

known to have had contact
with the victim.

We need to talk to her again.

- Please do it.
- Ma'am.

Boss.

JAMIE: We've all been there.
I'll make a note of it.

I hope it's not too much hassle
coming in.

- The hours you work.
- Day off.

Good job you didn't come in
in your uniform.

- Some of that lot, you know.
- Oh!

- All right?
- You all right, sarge?

Er, did you meet Gemma?
Tim's downstairs neighbour.

- Yeah. Hi, again.
- Hi.

- You OK?
- I'm fine.

Sir, we're just going over
some details

now we've got a better handle
on Tim's timeline.

Right.

Polk Avenue interviewed Gemma

immediately after Tim's body
was found

but she said they haven't been
in touch since, so...

OK.

As we were saying,
we're now focusing our inquiry

on the night of the 17th,
morning of the 18th.

We're hoping the fact
we can be more precise

will help focus your memory.

Erm, the 17th, I was on a late.

So I would have got home
around eleven,

if we didn't go on somewhere.

We, erm, do Malibu
a couple of times a month.

That's a cool club.

I got in around eleven.

And when did you
next leave your flat?

The next day, I had a late,

so I would have had a lie-in
maybe till lunchtime.

Did you hear any kind of
disturbance that night?

No.

Right.

Go back to when you got in,
11pm, the night of the 17th.

No, actually, I did go out.
But I came home first

because I forgot to bring
a change of clothes.

I called a taxi and I thought
he was already there,

but they normally send a text,

so I realised
it couldn't be mine.

Great. Great.

So you witnessed a cab
outside the flats

around 11pm
on the night of the 17th?

- I think it was a cab.
- Can you describe the driver?

Erm, no. It was dark and I
didn't really look. I'm sorry.

Come on, you kidding?
You've been a star.

Look, anything else jogs your
memory, you give me a call, OK?

- Any time.
- Sure. Thanks.

I'll show you out.

- Just down there.
- Maybe I'll see you in Malibu.

If this lead pans out,
I'll buy you a drink.

Cheers, Gemma.

(Whispers)
Do you have a second?

Yeah.

Erm, the cab driver...

He was white.
That's all I could tell.

I didn't say it
in front of Jamie

just in case it sounded like
I thought

- all cabbies had to be black.
- That's fine. Thank you.

It's a bit crap Huntley's team
never re-interviewed Gemma.

Huntley's deliberately
leading the inquiry

in the wrong direction.

If Tim Ifield isn't
Balaclava Man,

there's another suspect
still out there.

So let's be the ones
to find him.

Good.
Gemma said the driver was white.

I'll get Maneet to
run cab companies

for bookings around that time
and rule out ME-sounding names.

Here's hoping
you'll owe her a drink.

That's an interview technique.

I'd never mess about
with a witness.

I know some of the blokes do
but it's a bit...desperate.

Do you know what I mean?
Cheers, sarge.

Am I in trouble?

Thank you for coming in
to talk to us again, Hana.

This is a voluntary interview.

You're free to leave
at any time.

But I've told you
everything I know.

Since your previous interview,
we've uncovered

some new evidence
we'd like to put to you.

For the DIR, I'm showing Ms
Reznikova item reference JHF-9,

showing a DIY store car park

and a figure
wearing a balaclava.

Yes. He looks like the man
who attacked me.

According to your statement,
on the evening of the 9th March,

you were set upon
by a man wearing a balaclava

who forced you into his vehicle

and transported you to an
address on the Borogrove Estate

belonging to Michael Farmer.

Yes. Michael Farmer.

We know this can't be
Michael Farmer.

He was in custody at the time.

We believe this must be
Timothy Ifield.

For the DIR, I'm showing Ms
Reznikova item reference JHF-10,

showing the same man purchasing
a number of power tools.

No, I don't know anything
about this at all.

Hana, we wonder
if you have any idea at all

why Timothy Ifield
would be dressed

exactly as
you've described the man

who abducted you
five nights earlier.

I... I don't know.

Tim Ifield was the Police
Forensic Co-ordinator

present on the scene
when you were rescued

from Michael Farmer's house.

You told us he came into
the caff where you worked

and asked you
to become his cleaner.

Certain you didn't
recognise him?

I had never seen him before.

He'd seen you.
He knew exactly who you were.

No alarm bells rang?

- No.
- No?

Come on.

When you do go into the flat,
you get a weird text

telling you not to come in.

You don't think
something funny's going on?

- No.
- No.

I am telling the truth.

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

No. I'm not a criminal.

No-one's saying you are, Hana.

FARIDA: A waitress
doesn't earn much.

Neither does a cleaner.
You needed the job.

So maybe you set your
suspicions aside?

- No.
- But you needed the job?

Yes.

Hana, our inquiries say
you didn't chase him up at all.

Not one call or text from you

to Timothy Ifield's registered
mobile phone after the 18th.

Why were you so happy
to lose his business?

I just didn't know what to do,
OK?

I didn't know
what was happening.

You were the last person
we know of to visit Tim's flat.

FARIDA: Maybe that's when
you recognised him?

No.

JODIE: Hana, are you sure you
wouldn't prefer to take a break?

We don't mind.
We're just confused.

For the DIR, DCI Huntley
has entered the room.

- Farida.
- Ma'am.

For the DIR, DCI Huntley.
I've taken PC Jatri's seat.

The interviewee does not appear
oppressed by my arrival. Hana?

- Yes, I'm fine.
- Thank you, Hana.

Let me explain.

Since we first interviewed you,

certain things have become
part of our working hypothesis

regarding how Timothy Ifield
met his death.

Forensic evidence
very strongly suggests

he was wearing
a white forensic oversuit

at the time of his death.

Fibres in his hair and nose

suggest he'd been
wearing a balaclava.

He was in possession of not
only a number of power tools

but also a set
of kitchen knives.

As a woman, I can well imagine
the level of terror

if I were to encounter
that situation.

I wonder if a woman
went to Tim's flat, she entered,

Tim appeared
as I've described...

..this woman would quite
rightly be in fear for her life.

This man clearly intended
to assault her, kill her...

..dismember her body.

If she put up a fight,

she would not have
committed a crime.

This woman was
already traumatised

by a recent abduction.

It was self-defence.

I didn't do what you say.

This woman was terrified.

If she confessed,
would a court believe her?

She didn't have long
to make up her mind.

She could lose her job,
her family.

She might be deported.

But she knows how to clean.

I didn't do it.

Help us to help you, Hana.

Let us search your home.

Let us rule you out
as a suspect.

You want to search my flat?

It's done by a specialist team.
They won't damage anything.

Anything they need to take away
will be returned to you.

No.

You're refusing to permit us
entry to your flat?

I haven't done anything wrong.

I'm sorry, Hana, we really need
to search your flat.

Jodie. Section 18. Do it.

DCI Huntley, leaving the room.

Hana Reznikova,
I am arresting you

in connection with the murder
of Timothy Ifield.

This arrest meets
the necessity test

under Code G of the Police
and Criminal Evidence Act,

namely the prompt and effective
investigation of an offence,

permitting a lawful search
of your address

as part of our inquiry.

- Ask them what they saw.
- (Text alert)

One sec.

Just after background info
on an item of evidence

from Tim Ifield's flat.

KRG-13.

Forensic samples were taken
on the 23rd March.

Stored overnight
and then sent to the lab

the following morning.

JODIE: She went to
the Forensic Office.

What's she up to?

I spoke to an FI
after she'd gone.

Kate was asking for details
about item reference KRG-13.

You know what that is?

It's the isolated blood spatter
deposit found at Tim's flat.

The FI who'd handled it
had mistakenly wrote KRG-30

and then corrected it
to KRG-13.

And what did they make of that?

Oh, it was noted but no
concerns have been raised.

- Sounds like a slip of the pen.
- Yeah.

What do you reckon she's up to,
ma'am?

Ambitious DS, that's all.

Wants to impress her gaffer
back at East Mids.

Not that there's anything wrong
with ambition.

No, ma'am.

We should do a drink soon.

It'd be good to have a natter
about your plans for the future.

I'd really appreciate that,
ma'am. Thank you.

- Bye, ma'am.
- Bye, Jodie.

- Kate.
- Ma'am?

Relax, Kate.
It's good news, I hope.

I've been reviewing
your secondment here.

We need manpower, and you're
a fully-trained detective.

I think I can make a case
for extending your stay with us.

- Assuming that appeals?
- Yeah, absolutely, ma'am.

- Thank you.
- It's great working with you.

Likewise, ma'am.

(Keypad beeps)

- Night.
- Night.

The overwriting was noted

at every stage of the evidence
being handled.

It doesn't appear anyone
was trying to cover it up.

Still, we should make
a confidential request

to examine
the original samples.

It's a crucial item
and any irregularity...

Is something to throw
in Huntley's face?

This isn't personal.

She's at the centre
of everything.

I just want to
get to the truth.

Me too, mate.

See you soon.

Kate, Roz is asking for you.

What's going on?

Just got the report on the
search of Hana Reznikova's flat.

Item reference AS-9.

The search of your flat

detected banknotes
in the sum of £5,900

concealed in
a kitchen cupboard.

Item reference MHM-27.

Search of your household waste
detected multiple used condoms

containing semen
from multiple males.

How do you account
for these findings?

No comment.

JODIE: Items reference
JF-3 to JF-7.

Examination of bed linen
and bath towels

detected DNA
from multiple males,

one of which matched
control samples

held in the police database.

Said DNA belonged
to Timothy Ifield.

What was Timothy Ifield
doing in your bed, Hana?

No comment.

Item reference AS-24.

The search detected
an unregistered mobile phone.

Unlocking of said phone
provided a call history

containing four calls
between you and a number

whose user we've been
unable to identify.

The first call occurring
on the 16th March

and the last on the 18th March.

What was the nature
of these calls?

No comment.

KATE: Hana, we've got
evidence strongly suggesting

that you've been engaging in
sexual activity

for commercial gain.

We've got calls
on an unregistered phone

that presumably you used
to arrange these encounters.

We've got evidence Timothy
Ifield was present in your flat,

presumably for
sexual services.

Now, this unidentified,
unregistered phone

that you had calls with
on four occasions...

Were these calls
to and from Timothy Ifield?

Hana. Wake up.

We're investigating
an unsolved murder.

Now, if you didn't kill Timothy
Ifield, telling us that this was

a phone of his
that we know nothing about yet,

that would really help us.

And it may help prove
that you weren't his murderer.

Hana, frankly, right now
for you this is a lifeline.

It was Timothy's phone.

KATE: Brilliant. Thank you.

HANA: But I wasn't
harming anyone.

You have ruined my life.

No. We protect life.

Great.

It's good work. guys.

Just because they had sex
doesn't mean Hana killed Tim.

True.

But he invited her
back to his flat.

She hadn't been there before.
We know that because

we didn't detect any of her DNA
or fingerprints in his flat.

He gained her trust,
lured her there to kill her.

She killed him in self-defence.

We're a whisker away
from finding the evidence

we'll need to charge her.
It's all falling into place.

The only hole is proving that

Michael Farmer
and Tim Ifield were accomplices

and then we've
cracked the case.

Yes, ma'am.

We've got this lead now
on Tim's burner phone.

Chances are we'll open up
a whole new can of worms

about what he was up to
in the time around his death.

- Hopefully.
- Yeah.

I'm afraid I've drawn a blank
on taxis

picking up from Tim Ifield's
street on the night of the 17th.

- Right.
- But...

I've been looking at traffic
camera footage from that night.

This is a junction a quarter
of a mile from Tim's flat.

I didn't spot a taxi,

but I looked for vehicles
resembling a minicab.

This dark Mercedes E-Class
saloon passes through at 23:31,

heading in the direction
away from Tim's flat.

And here it is earlier
that evening at 18:36,

heading towards Tim's flat.

Any chance we'll be able
to read the reg?

I've sent the images
for enhancement.

I'll let you know
when I hear back.

Cheers, Maneet. Well done.

Uh, holding.

Anyone had further contact
from Huntley's husband?

Not that I know of.

He can't say
I didn't give him a chance.

MESSAGE: You've reached
Nicholas Huntley

of Webber & Barratt
Partners LLP.

- Please leave a message.
- (Beep)

Mr Huntley, DS Arnott. AC-12.

We need to talk.

You've excelled yourself, Roz.

Thank you, sir.

Trapdoor's been
the toughest months of my life.

I appreciate the backing
you've given me, sir.

You were a star
in training college,

then you put your family first.

I'm only putting you back
where you belong.

What are friends for? Hm?

- Thank you very much, sir.
- (Phone buzzes)

Ah. Sorry.

(Phone message alert)

Mr Huntley, DS Arnott. AC-12.
We need to talk.

He's gone to see
Huntley's husband.

Anything I can do?

Image enhancement
got a reg number

on the vehicle
seen near Tim's flat.

I need to tell Steve
right away.

Mr Huntley, DS Arnott again.

I was hoping you'd have
come back to me by now

on the matter we discussed.

I've spoken to a colleague
of mine, a criminal solicitor,

called Jimmy Lakewell.

I think it's best that you go
through him. L-A-K-E...

Mr Huntley, are you
refusing to cooperate

with a lawful
police investigation?

This is DS Arnott,
please leave a message.

Sarge, we got a reg on the car.

It belongs to
a Nicholas Huntley.

Roz's husband.

Maneet, just call him again.

This is DS Arnott,
please leave a message.

I'm outside your office.

Wouldn't it be better to
discuss all this face to face?

Listen, Mr Huntley, with
respect to the 17th of March,

we've got strong evidence

your wife wasn't at home
as she claims.

Er... Erm...
I've got no comment to make.

I'm giving you the opportunity
to say something

before this gets
extremely serious,

not just for your wife,
but for you too, sir.

- (Beep)
- Steve, we need you to call in.

Nick Huntley
could be dangerous.

OK? Nick Huntley
could be dangerous. Call in.

Please, you should talk
to my solicitor.

- I'm going up to the 5th floor.
- L-A-K-E-W-E- double-L.

Where did she claim
she was that night?

That night your kids left
a voicemail on your wife's phone

asking permission
to order a takeaway.

If they're calling her,
where were you?

I'm thinking you weren't
where you said you were.

Mr Huntley?

Think about your answer.
You've got one minute.

I'm on my way up.

LIFT: Doors closing.

(Phone rings)

You have five new messages.

(Signal breaking up)
Message one.

MANEET: (Muffled)
Sarge, we got a reg on the car.

It belongs to
a Nicholas Huntley.
