- (She screams)
- Sorry to trouble you at home.

We've just picked up a bystander
triple-9 on an abduction

of a young female
in the Moss Heath area.

NEIL: Been looking for him
for months. Get this bastard!

A 24-year-old man
has been charged.

KATE: Huntley's hiding
something about how the case

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

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

not Michael Farmer.

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

What have you got against
Michael Farmer?

Except him being retarded
enough for you to frame!

HUNTLEY: He was one of our own.

I'm gonna find the bastard
who did this.

I'm the senior ranking officer
here, darlin'.

I'm only putting you back
where you belong.

What are friends for? Hm?

Hana Reznikova
was the last person

known to have had contact
with the victim.

Hana Reznikova,
I am arresting you

in connection with
the murder of Timothy Ifield.

The fingertips were amputated
post mortem.

So Tim tried to grab
a handful of his assailant.

STEVE: To get skin cells
under his fingernails.

KEVIN: A swab of worktop
blood spatter.

Item reference KRG-13.

KATE: I'm after
some background info

on an item of evidence
from Tim Ifield's flat.

KRG-13.

She went to
the forensic office.

What's she up to?

JAMIE: 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?

MANEET: Image enhancement
got a reg number

on the vehicle
seen near Tim's flat.

It belongs to
a Nicholas Huntley.

Nick Huntley could be dangerous.
Call in.

- I didn't know what else to do.
- Just tell me what happened.

- DS Arnold came to see me...
- Arnott.

..Arnott came to see me
and...well,

he ended up
falling down the stairs.

Oh, my God.

Jesus Christ. He's still alive?

I don't know.

At least you had
the presence of mind

to go out and use a pay phone
to call me.

Yes, I thought maybe I should

because he mentioned
telephone calls - DS Arnott -

between us,
that he was investigating.

- What calls?
- On the night you told me

you were working
and you left your phone at home.

He called me, Roz.

And so I called Jimmy Lakewell
straightaway...

..and he said not to make
any further comment to him.

About what?

Come on, Nick!

He wanted to know
your whereabouts

on the night that you said
that you were working.

Why?

I don't know. I can't remember.
He was...

He was pressuring me,
and he was coming up

and then I thought maybe
he'd gone to the old floor.

- I don't know.
- Pressuring you how?

He was saying stuff,
pushing me.

(Mocks) "He was saying stuff."

- Don't start, Roz!
- You're the one who started,

and I'm left with
the mess to clear up!

Is there a way to get into
your building avoiding CCTV?

Yes.
That's the one I just used.

Good. Get up to whatever floor
you're meant to be on.

Phone security, tell them
to go and look for DS Arnott.

You're worried he's got lost
in the building.

What if somebody sees us?

This is not an abstruse point of
corporate law, Nick.

This is real crime
and I do this for a living.

Go on.

Go!

(Pills rattling)

(Siren in background)

(Urgent chatter)

(Siren wails)

I'm his gaffer. How is he?

Bit too early
to say for certain.

- He's in a bad way.
- Yes. So, what happened?

Security guard found him
at the bottom of the stairs.

- Didn't see anyone else around.
- (Police radio chatter)

Injuries are consistent
with a fall.

- Mother of God.
- That's him, sir, her husband.

Right. This is no accident
until proven otherwise.

I want this place locked down
as a crime scene!

Full forensic deployment!

- Nicholas Huntley?
- Yes.

You're a witness
to the events surrounding

the serious injury
of a police officer

- going about his lawful duty.
- I don't know anything.

Save it, fella. You can do this
voluntarily or the hard way.

I want him detained
for forensics.

And, James, you're in charge.
Right, you lot! I'm with you.

JAMIE: We need your clothes,
Mr Huntley.

Come with me.

(Two-way radio chatter)

(Siren wails)

DRIVER: En route with
P1, GCS 9. ETA five minutes.

(Beeps)

Thank you.

NICK: Jimmy, thanks for
the change of clothes.

There's no way
I'm letting you go around

looking like
you're already convicted.

Detective Sergeant Arnott

phoned me to arrange
a follow-up interview.

He informed me that he was
outside my firm's building,

and that he was on his way
up to my office.

And then he hung up.
And when he didn't arrive,

it was at that moment
I realised

that he must have gone to
our old floor.

As soon as I realised
DS Arnott's mistake...

My officer made no mistake.
He was onto you.

You were the only person
who knew where he was.

We weren't born yesterday,
fella!

We appreciate you're concerned
for your officer's condition,

but, come on, let's dial down
the Ian Paisley.

You fancy yourself as
a bit of a comedian, do you?

I have a man in the hospital.
That's no laughing matter.

Nick and I are old colleagues,
so I've got more than

a professional interest
in my client's fair treatment,

so no-one
would be happier than me

if your whole department
stopped looking like

they want to blame Nick
and realised your officer's fall

resulted from
an unfortunate accident.

My officer was highly trained.

He's a former counter-terrorism
team leader.

He did not slip and fall down

three flights of stairs
by accident.

He was pushed.

And you were the only person
who knew he was there.

Coincidence.
A complete coincidence.

The security guard has no idea
how DS Arnott's attacker

could have accessed the building
without him knowing.

Unless he was in there already.

You can't be suggesting
that Nick

was responsible for
your officer's fall.

He was two flights up
in an office full of colleagues.

The office manager told us
Mr Huntley left the office

for 15 minutes around the time

DS Arnott
sustained his injuries.

- I went to the toilet.
- Yeah?

I thought you were waiting
for DS Arnott?

He didn't appear.

I got butterflies.

Do you have any evidence
to the contrary?

We're looking at the whole
picture, the whole picture.

DC Desford.

Uh, yeah. Um... (Clears throat)

Traffic camera video capture,
March 17th.

Good.

You recognise this vehicle?

Mr Huntley?

- Help him, DC Desford.
- (Jimmy whispers)

For the tape,
the interviewee is being shown

a vehicle registration number.

That's my car.

We have this vehicle
crossing this junction

and coming back
a few hours later.

The reason we're interested
in this particular junction

is because it serves an address
just a few hundred yards away

where, on the night in question,

a member of the police
forensic staff was murdered.

JAMIE: Timothy Ifield.

I...

I've got nothing to do with
any murder.

We also have a witness...

saying a vehicle
matching this description

and a driver matching
your description were seen

outside the address
where the murder took place.

Are you seriously suggesting
that Nick is a suspect?

No, one step at a time.

I'd just like to know
if Mr Huntley saw anything

on the night in question
that might help us

with our inquiries.

No, I didn't. No. Sorry.

You see, normally
in a situation like this,

someone's mobile phone

would give us their location
every second of the night.

However, you conveniently
left yours at home.

The man forgot his phone.

It's simple as that,
nothing sinister.

Right. Well, perhaps
Mr Huntley can tell us

where he was, exactly,
on that night.

Nick isn't obliged to give you
that information.

Very well.

Let's move on to your wife:

Detective Chief Inspector
Huntley.

Now, on the night in question,
the 17th,

when you were out
for that drive,

she's claimed she was home,
sick.

- DC Desford.
- Yeah. Um... (Clears throat)

(Papers rustling)

A call to your wife's mobile
was made at around 8pm.

So...why the call
when she said she was home?

Our kids made that call.

They didn't realise that she was
asleep in the spare room.

- In the spare room?
- Yeah.

So she wouldn't give me
her illness or...disturb me

if she had a sleepless night.

DC Desford.

Yeah, um...

Image 47.
This is a frame of CCTV

captured on the evening
of January 25th

in the Moss Heath area.

You wouldn't happen to be able
to help us identify

this particular individual?

- Mr Huntley?
- Yes, just, um...

Take your time, Nick.

NICK: The 25th...

Yes. Yes. (Clears throat)

I was at a work function in
Northampton that evening.

So I can't help you.

And I bet there are loads of
witnesses to corroborate that?

- Yes.
- Great. Thanks.

I hope that's covered.
Anything else?

Do you have any of your
officer's DNA on my client?

Any of his clothes' fibres?

I can ask the same regarding

the murder of this
Timothy Ifield.

Inquiries are ongoing.

They've got no witnesses.
No CCTV. No forensics.

My client's given
full cooperation.

Either you arrest him
under Code G or he's free to go.

This inquiry isn't finished,
not by a long chalk.

Don't you kid yourselves,
fellas. DC Desford.

When my officer wakes up,
he'll have a tale to tell.

Then we'll see what's what.

You want to sharpen up your act
there, James.

Sir.

Kate, what are you doing here?
You could be seen.

I had to come, sir. How is he?

He's got fractures of his
right leg, pelvis, vertebra.

Fractured skull. Some
busted ribs. They've operated

but the nurse says
it's too early to say anything.

You can never find a bloody
doctor when you want one.

(Beeping)

You ought to look at this.
CCTV from Steve's fall.

I thought we'd drawn a blank?

I got this
from neighbouring premises

overlooking an alleyway.

HASTINGS: Good God.

Timing fits with Steve's fall.
This was a few minutes after.

Well, Balaclava Man can't be
Michael Farmer or Tim Ifield.

It's looking like
it could be Nick Huntley.

No traces of Steve's blood
or DNA were found on Huntley.

No clothes fibres either.
Nor any fibre that might

relate to
a Balaclava Man outfit.

This is no coincidence.
Huntley's involved.

He knew where Steve was.

What, you think
he tipped somebody off?

Huntley only made one call
after Steve's voicemail,

to his solicitor,
seeking legal advice.

So it's all down to Steve

identifying Huntley
as his assailant.

Sir.

What about
the Tim Ifield murder?

Any more connections
with Nick Huntley there?

Maneet studied
all the traffic cameras

in the vicinity of
Tim Ifield's flat.

There are no other sightings
of Nick Huntley's vehicle

for the night of Tim's murder.

Come on, son.
Steve's up in intensive care

and you've gone into
full-steam reverse!

(Sighs)

If they'd had anything,
they'd have held you. Trust me.

- It's fine.
- Hey, hey!

They showed me a CCTV picture

of some scary bloke
in a balaclava.

It's to do with this death,
this murder.

Why were they asking you
questions

about Timothy Ifield's murder?

What haven't you told me?

Jesus Christ, Roz,
you've got a nerve.

You're the one that's doing
all the lying, not me.

I'm gonna ask you again.

Why were they
asking you questions

about Timothy Ifield's murder?

Because I was there!

That night.

They've got my car
on a traffic camera

a few hundred yards
away from his flat.

You still don't get it, do you?

The late nights. The excuses.
The brush-off in bed.

I knew that you had to be
with someone.

You followed me?

I didn't intend to
but you left your phone at home

when you said
that you were going to work.

So I picked it up
and I tried to catch you.

And I saw you take
a different turn.

- To some dodgy mini-cab firm.
- Jesus Christ, Nick.

So I followed that cab
until you got out.

I realise now it was to avoid

the traffic camera
that captured my car.

And I saw you walk down
a side street

and I got to the end

just in time
to see you go into those flats.

And, every minute,
I wanted to bang on that door

and catch
the pair of you at it.

But I didn't, I gave up
and I came here, I came home.

To our house. To our kids.

To the life that we've built.

For God's sake, Nick.
I had this under control.

Instead, my husband was prowling
the area that night.

And now they're wondering
if you set up

one of their officers
to be killed.

That's conspiracy to murder.

OK, so,
what did you tell AC-12?

Give me some credit, Roz,

I didn't say that my wife
was with another man, OK?

I covered for you.
I said that you were at home,

unwell, like you'd told them.

Good.

What happened in those flats
that night? Was it him?

- Him?
- Was it him? Him! Him!

The one that was...
that was killed!

No. No more lies, Roz.

I want the truth.

I was with someone that night.

- And?
- And what?

And what happened?

We had feelings for each other
and we spent the night together.

A crime took place nearby,
we had nothing to do with it,

we weren't even witnesses...

..but neither of us
can admit to work

that we were in the area
that night.

(Sighs) So he's a policeman?

Married?

Who?

No-one you know.

And it's over.

(Rumble of thunder)

- Yeah, come in. Come in.
- Sorry to bother you, sir.

I've been looking at
finding a way

to place a suspect
inside Tim's flat.

Good.

There was an item of evidence,
KRG-13,

the blood spatter
from Tim Ifield's flat.

There was a question about
the overwritten label,

but it wasn't thought
significant.

No disrespect,
but that was before we knew

Nick Huntley was in
the neighbourhood that night.

That raises
a distinct possibility

DCI Huntley could've been
misleading the inquiry

away from her husband.

I was thinking of sequestering
the original sample

to be re-examined
by an independent lab.

- Great. That's more like it.
- Sir, hospital's called.

- Steve's conscious.
- Thank you, Maneet.

Meet me at the lift, James.

There's a couple of things the
gaffer wants me to look into.

Yeah, no probs.

And could you find a way to tell
him my name's not James?

Easier to turn an oil tanker.

Your son showed signs of
coming round of his own accord.

We lightened the sedation -
it was appropriate-

so we removed the tube
from Steven's throat.

It's a good sign.

Mr and Mrs Arnott?
Superintendent Hastings.

I'm very sorry, this must be
a very difficult time for you,

but I've got to crack on
and talk to your son.

But we'll speak later,
all right?

How are you, son?
How are you feeling?

- Awful.
- That's the spirit.

- All right?
- All right.

They looking after you?
Anybody needing shaking up?

- I'm in good hands, sir.
- Good.

Now, if you don't mind,
we'll just get straight to it.

- I'll do my best.
- Good man.

Do you remember much at all
about what happened to you?

Talking on the phone
to Nick Huntley...

..going up in the lift.

Someone jumped me,
hit me over the head

and after that it's all hazy.

Right. OK.

Well, we have a CCTV image here
that we'd like you to look at.

Do you think that could be
your attacker?

A lot of it's blank, sir.

I'm not sure if he's
the one attacked me or...

..or I'm getting mixed up with
the images of Balaclava Man.

I thought there was
a baseball bat

but he doesn't have one.

Maybe I'm remembering
an old case.

HASTINGS: Is there any chance
that this could be Nick Huntley?

I don't know.

Well,
full marks for honesty, son.

(Pills rattling)

(Knocks)

- Ma'am.
- Something up?

I just heard something
from a mate in Forensics.

AC-12 are asking to examine
evidence from Tim's flat.

What evidence?

KRG-13,
the blood spatter that...

that Kate was interested in.

I'm sorry, I wasn't sure
if I should say anything.

Night, Jodie.

OK.

I realise this wasn't purely
a social invitation.

I'm aware of the pitfalls of
making an official complaint...

..but you ought to know
what AC-12 are up to.

They're trying to discredit
my inquiry.

I cannot imagine

a more damaging climb-down
for this force.

There is a solution.

There is?

Closing the case
against Michael Farmer,

securing a conviction
for his awful crimes,

and keeping Timothy Ifield's
offences an internal matter.

He's dead.
There won't be a trial,

only a coroner's inquest.

Why give AC-12 reign
to destroy public trust?

All I need
is your backing, sir.

AC-12 have a habit
of using underhand tactics.

It's never a fair fight.

There are one or two things
I could tell you

that would even things up.

Thank you very much, sir.

We're off duty.
There's no need for "sir".

This is a nice place.

Are you a regular, sir?
Are you a regular?

It's a convenient pit stop.

I live out of town.

So, when it's a late finish,
the rooms aren't too shabby.

I'm booked in for tonight.

Am I keeping you
from something?

No.

No, the kids help themselves to
a ready meal on a school night

when I'm on duty,
and...Nick's often late too.

My husband Nick.

Yeah. Lucky Nick.

- Would you like another drink?
- No, I shouldn't.

We're just two old friends
having a drink.

Tonight's just too difficult.
It's boring domestic reasons.

But we...we could pick this up
another evening.

I'll look at my diary.

Let me give you
a different phone number,

just to be discreet.

(Door closes)

This piece of evidence

that AC-12 want to pull
from forensics...

- KRG-13.
- Mm-hm.

Which FI's initials are those?

Er...

Kevin R Gill.

Ta.

(Keypad beeps)

I know it's a bit parky
out here.

No, thanks.

It's easier to talk
outside the office.

Listen, AC-12
have been poking their noses in

about one of
your forensic samples.

The label was overwritten.

It looks like you wrote KRG-30

and then corrected it
to KRG-13.

Look, Kevin, I'm the last person
to point the finger.

But AC-12,
they're a different story.

Look, I'm not saying
I'm 100 per cent sure,

but I don't remember
overwriting any label.

Well, percentages help.
What would you say?

75? 50?

80. 90.

Then how was it overwritten?

Look,
I've got no angle here, Kev.

Kevin.

I'm the SIO, Kevin,

and I want to catch the bastard
who killed Timothy Ifield.

If there's a question mark
hanging over

a crucial piece of forensic
evidence, I need to know.

Right. I've got to work with you
lot. No way am I gonna say

somebody's tampered
with evidence.

That'll make me
a whistle-blower.

And we all know
what happens to them.

- Kevin...
- This is my fag break.

You all right? I'm Kate Flynn on
secondment from East Mids...

You should have
come to see me sooner.

Yeah, sorry I...work.

- We're going to take a swab.
- Is that necessary?

It won't delay anything.

I'll give you a painkiller,
start you on some antibiotics.

(Winces and exhales)

You should see a specialist.

You're running a fever.

I think I should sign you off
on sick leave

till the specialist sees you.

There's no way
I can take time off work.

I'm sorry, I just can't.

- (Front door opens and closes)
- (Clears throat)

Where are the kids?

The high street youth club
with a tenner between them.

- Nando's.
- On a school night?

You don't want to talk to me,
Roz?

Of course I do.

I've had a crap day,
I've got another bloody fever,

I just want to take a couple of
paracetamol and zonk out.

What really happened
that night, Roz?

The night of the murder.

Because...
the more I think about it,

the more holes there are
in your story.

Would you really risk so much
to...hide a fling?

I know I hurt you, Nick,
and I am sorry.

You don't seem sorry, Roz.

What do I seem?

Like you're still hiding
something.

I've stopped believing
a word you say.

Look at what I do, Nick,

not what I say,
what I actually do.

Everything is for us,
for this family.

No, it's all for yourself.

And you had better start
treating me better.

I know you were in those flats
where the murder happened.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying I've had it
with being taken for a fool!

Were you not listening?

Look at what I do.

You're linked to the near-death
of an anti-corruption detective

and you were hanging around
outside a crime scene.

You are the fool.

I'm the one protecting you.

(Sobs)

(He sobs)

It's OK.

It's OK.

Come in.

Sir, the lab's analysed
the original sample reference

KRG-13.

- They've found an anomaly.
- Great.

This gets better and better.
Come in.

- Sorry.
- That's OK.

I'm afraid it's bad news, Roz.

AC-12 have issued you
with a second Reg 15.

On what grounds?

Issuing a second one
means they're citing

a substantively different
offence from last time.

OK.

I'll be honest, Roz.
They're coming after you.

It's not just taking you
off the case this time,

it could be suspension,
dismissal from the service,

maybe even criminal charges.

Sorry.

Thanks, Maneet.

Thanks, Maneet.

(DIR machine tone)

Anticorruption Unit 12
interview by

Superintendent Hastings
and DC Desford

of Detective Chief Inspector
Roseanne Huntley

in the presence of her Police
Federation Representative

DCI Mark Moffatt.

Please identify yourselves
for the DIR.

- Hastings.
- Huntley.

- Moffatt.
- Desford.

DCI Huntley, you do not have to
say anything but it may harm

your defence if you do not
mention when questioned

something you later
rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

Questions will be put to you
by Superintendent Hastings

as it's your right to be
questioned by an officer

at least one rank senior.

I will furnish factual
information only,

starting with Image 47,
from a CCTV camera

captured on the night
of January 25th

in the vicinity of
the last sighting

of Leonie Collersdale
before she disappeared.

HASTINGS: This man is wearing
a black jacket of the type worn

by Hana Reznikova's abductor.

What steps have you taken
to find him?

We believe this is
Michael Farmer.

Image 136, from a CCTV camera
overlooking the car park

of a DIY Superstore, captured
on the night of March 17th.

And we believe this is
Timothy Ifield.

Well, clearly there are
some similarities.

Clearly.

However, Timothy Ifield
was aware of Image 47.

He could have deliberately
styled himself

in order to simulate the suspect
seen on January 25th.

Right. Well let's see what you
have to say about this.

DC Desford.

From a CCTV camera
captured on 6th April,

in an alley adjacent to your
husband's office building.

Now, Timothy Ifield, bless him,
is six foot under,

so it can't be him
styling himself

to simulate Balaclava Man.

And Michael Farmer has been
in custody for nearly a month.

Why haven't you shared
this evidence?

This is my investigation!

Clearly, DCI Huntley,
I would have reservations,

regarding the connection
to your husband.

DCI Huntley's spouse
was released

without charge by AC-12.

You're presuming guilt
before innocence.

Document 7, DC Desford.

Document 7 in your folders,

a photocopy made
by this unit on April 7th...

..of a form MG-6
submitted electronically by you

on April 5th,
to the Senior Prosecutor

in the Complex Case Unit

in respect of evidence
against Hana Reznikova.

Do you recognise the form,
DCI Huntley?

Yes.

Timothy Ifield's killer left not
a single strand of DNA

or a single fingerprint
at the crime scene.

Now, you're saying that
Hana Reznikova

had the knowledge
and the skills to do that?

She is a cleaner, sir.

Timothy Ifield's killer
amputated

the second,
third and fourth digits

of the victim's right hand
post mortem.

And what?
You think she's up to that too?

Yes, I do, sir,

to remove her DNA lodged under
Timothy Ifield's fingernails.

Tell me this. Were there
any corresponding wounds

found anywhere on
Hana Reznikova's body?

The wounds could have been
superficial enough

to have healed
by the time we charged her,

or she may have
mistakenly assumed

her DNA
had contaminated the body.

Kindly answer the question,
DCI Huntley.

Were any corresponding wounds
found on Hana Reznikova's body?

- Yes or no?
- No.

No. You have not got
the evidence

to pass
the threshold test for charging

and yet you
seriously believe that

that wee girl, Hana Reznikova,
murdered Timothy Ifield?

Yes, I do, sir.

What, and not this man?

Like I said, this needs
to be investigated.

Yeah, our point entirely.

- DC Desford.
- Document 9.

Forensic evidence log from
the examination of Ifield's flat

on 23rd March.

Do you recognise said log?

Yes, sir.

Item Reference KRG-13
is recorded in said log.

We would draw your attention to
the labelling of item KRG-13.

James.

I'm sorry.

On screen, image 12.

Image 12 is a photograph
taken by this department

of the label
on the evidence bag.

What can you tell us about
this label, DCI Huntley?

- It's been overwritten.
- Indeed it has. Indeed it has.

We interviewed
the Forensic Investigator

corresponding to the designation
KRG - Kevin R Gill.

Mr Gill was unable to
account for the overwriting.

Doesn't mean there's
anything suspicious.

Yeah, but we also sequestered
the original sample.

in your folders.

I quote from the report of the
independent forensic scientist.

"Swab sample shows
staining with human blood.

Analysis of the blood sample
detected DNA

matching the control sample
for Timothy Ifield.

The probability that
this sample contains

Timothy Ifield's blood...
is greater than 99.9 per cent.

So far so expected,
wouldn't you say, DCI Huntley?

Yes, sir.

Yes, but our independent
analysis does not end there.

We've been informed
of an anomaly.

JAMIE: I quote: "Present
within the blood sample

are a number of
clothing fibres.

All fibres are of
the same type,

suggesting they originate
from the same source.

Comparison with the reference
database reveals a match with

the white high-density polythene
of over-suits

worn by forensic investigators.

The probability of this match
is greater than 99.9 per cent.

What do you make of that,
DCI Huntley?

It's possible
the FI taking the sample

inadvertently made contact
with the swab or blood

with his own white over-suit.

Really, do you seriously believe
that an experienced FI

is gonna be that clumsy?
Who are you kidding?

Those suits are specifically
designed not to shed fibres.

But, of course,
you would know this,

wouldn't you, DCI Huntley,

being an experienced
and, I'm told,

highly-skilled senior detective?

Superintendent Hastings,
your tone is oppressive.

She's an SIO,
20 years on the force, fella.

If she can't take it,
God help us all.

DCI Huntley?

For the DIR, the interviewee
is not answering.

That swab had to be taken from
the blood-stained over-suit

that Timothy Ifield was wearing
at the time of his death.

As said over-suit was not found
at the scene of the crime,

it leads me to believe that
the person who took the swab...

was very closely connected
to the killer himself...

or herself.

That sample, KRG-13...
was tampered with.

DCI Huntley?

Possibly.

"Possibly"?

We all know, under modern
policing methods,

it's extremely difficult -
if nigh on impossible-

to plant evidence once a crime
scene has been opened.

However, it is conceivably
possible to replace evidence

once it's in storage

if one has access
to said storage facility.

Unfortunately, there's no CCTV
covering the evidence room

where the samples were stored,
as it's a staff area.

Security cameras only cover
areas where officers

come into contact with
members of the public,

for the protection of
all parties.

Officers have a right to do
personal business in private.

I beg to differ.
We're public servants.

Everything we do should
stand up to public scrutiny.

So, let's see what we have.

We have the possibility of
planting evidence in the case

against Michael Farmer...
and we have interference

in forensic evidence
in the murder of Timothy Ifield.

It's a complex case, sir.
In fact, two cases.

It sure is.

Did you investigate
who had access

to Michael Farmer's
home prior to his arrest?

Of course we have, sir.

Document 33,
a copy of my Decision Log

recorded on the night of
March 9th,

regarding operations at
Michael Farmer's home.

21:25. FARS OIC
clears property for entry.

DCI Huntley clears FARS
Investigator and FC

to enter property.

The FC in this case
being Timothy Ifield.

And Ifield's DNA was detected on
Leonie Collersdale's body.

Hence we are
pursuing complicity

between Timothy Ifield
and Michael Farmer.

Do you have any evidence

connecting Michael Farmer
to Timothy Ifield?

- Not yet, sir.
- No.

So, this complicity
between them

is just wild speculation
on your part, DCI Huntley.

And, from what we know
of Timothy Ifield,

he was probably trying to do
the exact opposite.

He was probably trying to prove
Michael Farmer's innocence.

Timothy Ifield
stumbled upon a conspiracy

to protect a person,
or persons, unknown -

possibly the person in the CCTV
footage on 25th January-

for which he was
murdered for his silence.

Now, have you or your inquiry...

..made any effort whatsoever
to explore this possibility?

We...

No, we haven't, sir.

No, DCI Huntley.

You haven't.

You alone.

DCI Huntley's been suffering
from illness recently.

Perhaps we could take a break
for a few minutes?

No.

I really wish that it all
ended there,

but sadly Timothy Ifield
was murdered,

and in respect of
a prime suspect...

..we're looking
very close to home.

Very close to home indeed.

DC Desford.

Image 36.

Image 36 is a frame taken
from traffic camera video

recorded at 11pm
on the night of March 17th.

Image 36 captures a vehicle
registered to your husband,

Nicholas Huntley,

in the vicinity of
Timothy Ifield's flat.

The night of March 17th
being identified...

..as the most likely time
for that murder to take place.

DCI Huntley...

..in my view, there is a clear
conflict of interest

regarding your position
and the possible involvement

of your husband
in these offences.

Also, now, it is extremely
difficult to exclude you

as a suspect
in tampering with evidence

that might implicate
your husband in said murder.

Therefore,
I will be recommending

to the Executive Officer,

in the strongest possible terms,

that you be suspended from duty,
effective immediately.

Now, you are not under arrest.

However,
our inquiries are ongoing...

..and you may subsequently
be arrested

in connection with
these offences.

Do you understand
what I'm saying to you?

I do.

And have you anything
further to add?

I do.

Well, look,

your Federation Rep said
you might want a break now.

You said it yourself,
Superintendent.

I'm an SIO 20 years in. The
tape's running, let's proceed.

How many detectives of the rank
of inspector or above

have you investigated
in the last five years?

I really don't see
how that's relevant.

- Do you have an answer?
- Not to hand.

You've investigated three,
myself included.

Two of the three were female,
that's 67 per cent,

when the proportion of females
in those ranks is ten per cent.

Who's giving you
this information?

Am I wrong?

That's a very small sample to be
quoting percentages out of.

We've charged
a Deputy Chief Constable

and a retired Chief
Superintendent, both male.

We're only interested in one
thing here and one thing only,

and that's bent coppers,

irrespective of race, creed,
colour, or gender.

- You're blind to gender?
- Absolutely.

On the 23rd March,
in a conversation

at the scene of
Timothy Ifield's murder,

did you address me
as "darling"?

Once again, I really don't see
how this is relevant.

Yes or no, Superintendent.

Did you address me using
a non-gender-neutral term?

Yes.

How many female officers within
AC-12 have been promoted

to the rank of inspector or
above in the last five years?

The internal workings of
this unit have no relevance

to the matter in front of us
and it's none of your business.

Your use of sexist language
makes me raise the matter.

And, in respect of the promotion
of female officers,

your unit lags
behind the national average.

Well, it's very specialist work
we do.

I think very carefully about who
I promote to senior positions.

But where are you getting
this information from?

Well, that's confidential.

In that case, we should
terminate this interview.

DC Desford.

Are you a member
of a Masonic organisation?

I wouldn't do that
if I were you, DC Desford.

That makes you an active
participant in denying me

my rights under police
regulations to defend myself.

Are you or are you not a Mason?

I'm not at liberty
to discuss the matter.

And whoever is feeding you
this prejudicial information...

Masons are the mafia
of the mediocre.

A network of officers
linked to corruption,

and an organisation that
traditionally excludes women.

For the DIR,

Superintendent Hastings
has risen from his seat.

You have a record
of excluding women

from positions of authority,
and what better way than to

conduct witch hunts
against senior female officers?

You're just trying to wriggle
off the hook. This won't wash.

DCI Huntley has raised valid
concerns regarding

the treatment of female
Police Federation members

by your department.

She's laid a foundation to
explain why, in our view,

the investigation against her
is malicious.

Please sit down, Superintendent,

or it would seem
you're denying my colleague

her lawful rights as
a serving police officer.

Thank you.

For the DIR, Superintendent
Hastings has retaken his seat.

The matter before us,
Superintendent,

is whether DCI
Huntley's carried out

her duties and responsibilities
under police regulations.

The matter is whether
she has been complicit

in a criminal offence.

These are photocopies of
a statement given to my team...

by Forensic Investigator
Kevin R Gill

after the statement
he made to AC-12.

You'll see that Mr Gill
accepts responsibility

for overwriting the label-
item reference KRG-13,

the isolated blood spatter
found at the scene

of Timothy Ifield's murder.

- Wait a minute...
- Hold on, hold on.

FIs depend on good relations
with police officers.

Come on, he'd change his story
if he thought it would help.

That's a very interesting
remark, DC Desford.

You're claiming the FI says
whatever the investigating

- police officer wants to hear?
- No, no...

That would mean the FI told
AC-12 what you wanted to hear?

And, in order to make
the case against me,

you wanted to hear that he
didn't overwrite the label.

That's not what I meant, OK?
That's not what I meant.

I note your agitated tone.
Why are you agitated?

Cos you're putting words
in my mouth.

- Say that again, DC Desford.
- You're put...

For the DIR, Superintendent
Hastings has given

a non-verbal gesture ordering
DC Desford not to answer.

Stable door, horse bolted.

You, DC Desford,
volunteered that you believe

Kevin Gill made the statement
AC-12 wanted to hear,

but you've accused me
of fabricating

that same observation,
when we all recognise

the DIR will support my version
of the conversation.

The problem with AC-12

is you can never admit
when you're in the wrong.

And I wonder what lengths
AC-12 would go to

to prove they're right
even when they're wrong.

This is a video capture
of a lawful recording

of a police interview
at Polk Avenue Police Station...

showing Hana Reznikova
being interviewed

by DS Flynn and DC Taylor.

The interview formed the
starting point to our inquiry

into Hana Reznikova.

At all stages of
the investigation,

DS Flynn was
an active participant.

In fact, she was instrumental in
the charging of Hana Reznikova,

the validity of which
you challenged

earlier in this interview.

This is a print of
a digital photograph

captured by DC Jodie Taylor
on 4th April.

Who is the officer
in the photograph?

For the DIR, Superintendent
Hastings and DC Desford

look extremely uneasy.

According to DC Taylor,
this detective, DS Kate Flynn,

made an inquiry at
Polk Avenue Forensic Office

regarding item
reference KRG-13.

This is a print of a digital
photograph captured by

DC Taylor on 7th April...
showing DS Flynn

having an off-the-record
conversation

with Forensic Investigator
Kevin Gill.

Is DS Flynn an undercover
AC-12 officer?

HASTINGS: In respect of
undercover operations,

I can neither confirm nor deny,
as well you know.

What we do know,
Superintendent,

is if an undercover
AC-12 officer

is coaching witnesses
against DCI Huntley,

it would substantially undermine
your case.

My officers
do not coach witnesses!

So she is your officer?

(Exhales)

We have Kevin Gill
telling AC-12 one thing

and my team another,

and here we have an undercover
AC-12 officer talking to Gill.

Let's go back to
Gill's statement to me.

He took a swab sample
from the blood spatter

in Timothy Ifield's flat.

He sealed the sample
in an evidence bag.

He labelled the bag, overwriting
a slip of the pen, KRG-13.

And despite all your theories,
you have zero evidence

KRG-13 was
tampered with thereafter.

If it was tampered with,
who could have done it?

Here we have DS Flynn
raising a query about KRG-13

at the forensic office
days before anyone else.

And then, as if by magic,

AC-12 request the sample to
carry out your own analysis.

As soon as AC-12
seized that sample,

the chain of evidence
was broken.

It raises the question

who had access to it
after you seized it.

AC-12 do not tamper
with evidence!

No?

A jury acquitted a female DI
called Lindsay Denton

of conspiracy to murder,
at retrial,

because they were sure
that one of your officers

engaged in an inappropriately
intimate relationship

in order to plant evidence
in her home.

My officers
do not plant evidence!

You see the pattern here?

Sexism, undercover operations,
and questionable evidence.

All right. This circus is over.

Superintendent Hastings...

..did you authorise DS Flynn
to engineer charges

against Hana Reznikova?

I did not.

Did you authorise DS Flynn
to tamper with evidence

in regard to the investigation
into the murder of Ifield

from 23rd March
to today's date?

I did not.

Did you induce Forensic
Investigator Kevin Gill

to alter his testimony
in regard to the handling

of evidence
item reference KRG-13?

I did not.

Superintendent Hastings,
at this time I'm unable to

exclude you, DC Desford,
DS Arnott and DS Flynn

from a conspiracy to
pervert the course of justice

in the actions
you've brought against me,

which I believe are unfounded,

vexatious and intended to
obstruct my lawful inquiries

into the murders of Baswinder
Kaur, Leonie Collersdale...

and Timothy Ifield.

This is a signed authority from
Assistant Chief Constable Hilton

recusing AC-12
from your inquiry into me,

my team and the above offences.

DCI Huntley and DCI Moffatt
are leaving the room.

- (Phone rings)
- Switch that thing off, James.

Sorry, sir, I have to say,
it's "Jamie" not "James".

Frankly, son, right now,
I couldn't give a shit.

I never planted evidence,

never coached any witness,
and you know it.

Hilton might have fallen for
your crap but no-one else will.

How old are you, Kate?

31.

I'll tell you about my road
to 31.

I'd been a DI two years already.

And then I made life choices
in the best interests of others.

Not in my best interests at all,
as it turned out.

And, from what I know,
you won't make that mistake.

You'd give up anything
to get to the top.

But despite your ambition you're
on the wrong side of the line.

What do you know?

That you've got a son
you barely see.

Hardly holier than thou.

You should have seen his face.

He had no idea where I was
getting the ammunition.

Happy to help.

AC-12 aren't fit for purpose.

You could go so far
as to say corrupt.

It's high time
someone shut them down.

I let their case play out.

I thought it was worth hearing
everything they had,

just in case
there were any surprises.

- And were there?
- None I couldn't handle.

My name didn't come up at all?

No, they've stopped accusing me

of succumbing to
executive pressure.

This is the most agreeable
solution.

Tim Ifield's peccadilloes
out of the public eye,

Michael Farmer's crimes
punished.

You've done a great job, Roz.

Thank you, sir, for backing me.

What are friends for?

Let's go up.

- Bring that with you.
- I'm sorry.

I love my husband
and I love my children.

I won't betray their trust.

It's a moral question.

I'm sorry.

Well done.

Ow.

(Pills rattle)

(Tap turned on and off)

Good news.

No-one thinks
you're a murderer any more.
