All language subtitles for Line of Duty - S02E03 (EN)

D.I. Denton.

D.S. Jayne Akers calling

with request for
urgent assistance...

Immediate and
credible threat to life.

I need a safe and
available destination ASAP.

There's been an
attack on the police.

Three of our colleagues
have lost their lives

in the line of duty.

You called me that night.

Yes, sir.

I shouldn't have even
been on duty that night.

I'd do anything not
to have been there,

not to have picked up that call,

because for all I know

it's gonna take away the
one good thing in my life,

and that is being
a police officer.

I'm heading up a
newly formed unit

that's taken over the
search for Carly Kirk.

Oh!

- D.S. Arnott. AC-12.
- Boss...

People have underestimated
me my whole life.

I'll open up witness
protection to your team.

There's a D.I. in AC-9.

He's your man.
You'll second him.

As you wish, sir.

Whatever it takes to
nail those bastards.

Your call history makes
for very interesting reading.

The night of the ambush,

she called me to call you.

To say what?

For you to call her back about
the case she was working on.

This is the home,
under protective custody,

of Staff Nurse Claire Tindall.

You interviewed her

in connection with
events at the hospital.

There are more photos.

The protected witness.

The wee gobshite
this was all about.

Christ.

D.I. Denton, I'm arresting you

for conspiracy to murder
a protected witness.

What was in the
witness protection files?

Oh, my God. Was it
someone you knew?

I'm innocent. You know I am.

All rise.

Remain standing.

Are you Lindsay
Elizabeth Denton?

Yes.

Please speak up
so we can hear you.

Yes.

Sit down, Ms. Denton.

Morning, Ms. Latimer.

Your honor, the
defendant is charged

with conspiracy to murder.

This is a very serious charge

arising from a
complex investigation

by Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

A 36-year-old woman

has been charged with
conspiracy to murder.

There are rumors the victim
was a protected witness

granted immunity
from prosecution.

No further details will
be disclosed at present.

The charging of the
36-year-old woman

is a highly significant
breakthrough,

and we're confident that
more arrests will follow.

Nick Ronson from
The Evening Post.

Thanks.

Do you think the witness
protection scheme

is fit for purpose?

No comment. Thank you all.

Well handled, sir.

Cheers, Les.

Champion.

- You're the new media manager?
- Jo Wright.

New Jo. Have you got a minute?

Sure.

There's a false
speeding story about me.

With this arrest,
sir, it's dead.

Good. A stupid,
pointless distraction.

Oh, and civilians don't
have to call me "sir."

I'd feel uncomfortable
not respecting your rank.

Okay. Great.

Is there to be a
bail application?

Yes, your honor.

Your honor, the
prosecution opposes bail

on the following grounds...

The seriousness of the offense,

the defendant has the
means and knowledge

to abscond from justice.

Your honor, the defendant
is a serving police officer

of excellent standing.

She has no desire to abscond.
She intends to clear her name.

I'm refusing bail.

You will be remanded in
custody until the 18th of November.

All rise.

What about Bella?

Has anyone got an
evidence bag for this?

Answering only yes or no,

do you understand
spoken English?

Yes.

Answering only yes or no,

are you Lindsay
Elizabeth Denton?

Yes.

Answering only yes or no,

are you currently suffering
from an infectious disease?

No.

Answering only yes or no,

are you currently suffering from
a sexually transmitted disease?

No.

Answering only yes or no,

are you or could
you be pregnant?

No.

You'll reside in the
Vulnerable Persons Unit.

You will be in a
cell on your own

and you will have
minimal association

with the other residents.

Answering only yes or
no, do you understand?

Yes.

When an offender management
officer enters your cell,

she'll order you to
move away from the door.

Answering only yes or
no, do you understand?

Yeah.

If you maintain good behavior,

you may request
a television set,

the cost at £2 per week to
be taken out of your allowance.

Can I request a piano
keyboard, please?

Answering only yes or no,

would you like to
request a television set?

No.

Move away from the door.

Oh, what's that
tosser doing here?

Buggered if I know.

Morning, you two.

Morning, sir.

- Sir, what's he doing here?
- Ah. Yeah.

Look, our investigation
has expanded

into witness protection.

The deputy chief constable
ordered me to bring on

a specialist from AC-9.

Those bastards have
been keeping us out.

AC-9 did not make
the call, Steve.

Dot Cottan certainly
did not make the call.

This has come
directly from the office

of the deputy chief constable.

I'm not saying you should
have run it by us first.

I'm glad you're not
saying that, Steve,

because that shows
you're not confused

about who's in charge here.

Come on. Give him a chance.

When Tony Gates'
team was disbanded,

Cottan went on to
distinguish himself,

got himself a promotion.

And the fact of the matter is

he was the only
officer in that unit

who was prepared to stand up
and give evidence against his boss.

He's a born
anti-corruption officer.

Poacher turned gamekeeper.

Move away from the door!

The dirty bastards
put shit in my food.

Don't you people check?

Answering yes or no,
don't you people check?!

The target of the 5th
of September ambush

was a protected witness.

To fill you in on the details,

I'd like to introduce you

to Detective Inspector
Matthew Cottan.

- Thank you, Matt.
- Thanks a lot, sir.

In June of 2012,

a double murder at
Greek Lane, Moss Heath,

that was originally thought
to have been drug related,

was recrimed as
a terrorist incident.

This individual is
John Thomas Hunter.

He used the name Tommy

and had proven links
with organized crime.

Tommy cooperated
with the investigation

into the Greek
Lane terror incident

in return for immunity
from prosecution.

Tommy was the
target of the ambush.

Having been enrolled in the
witness protection program,

he was given a new
identity as Alex Campbell

and relocated to a safe
house at 12 St. James' Close.

On the night of September
5th, his witness protection officer,

D.S. Jayne Akers,

notified an immediate
threat against her witness

and attempted to move
him into safe custody

at 4th Street Station.

As we all know, Akers was killed

and the witness
received critical injuries.

A second, successful
attempt on his life was made

at the General
Hospital nine days later.

Yes?

No prosecutions resulted

from the Greek
Lane counterterror op.

As a result, as I
was going on to say,

the witness' immunity
was in jeopardy.

The only way for him
to stay out of prison

was to prove his value.

So you think this got back

to the witness'
criminal associates,

which prompted their
plan to silence him?

Exactly that, sir. Yeah.

D.S. Akers was the person
closest to the witness,

trusted by him.

So if he was gonna name
names, she'd be the one to know.

What?

D.S. Akers was
killed in the ambush.

How would it fit that
she betrayed Tommy?

Well, unknown to Akers,

she may also have been
the target of the ambush,

killed for her silence.

Sounds like a guess.

I'd call it a
working hypothesis.

We've charged
D.I. Lindsay Denton.

AC-9 wouldn't happen to
be sitting on a connection

between Tommy and Denton?

- Not that I know of.
- Yet.

Which is why we are
pooling our resources.

- Thank you, Matthew.
- Thanks, sir.

Assignments in
respect of the foregoing

will come via me or D.I. Cottan.

Thank you. That is all.

Also before you go.

I've got some handouts,
should anybody want one.

Christ's sake.

Thanks.

Kindly take a seat,

and your event will
commence shortly.

Hello, Inspector.

How are you?

Hmm. Tickety-boo.

I need to conduct
a further interview

in regard to the ambush on
the night of September 5th.

You remain under caution.

There are strict rules
for postcharge interview.

One of which is for the detainee
to have put to them information

which has come to light
since they were charged.

In the interests of justice.

Go on.

Who was D.S. Akers'
protected witness?

I don't know. I never knew.

You never saw him,
never heard a name?

No.

Have you ever seen
this man before?

No.

Fine. Have it your own way.

Is that the new information?

Was that the witness?

Fine. End of conversation.

Why didn't you reveal
to Hastings and Arnott

that I'd received a call
off D.S. Akers' husband

on the night of the ambush?

I didn't need to.

- No?
- No.

Hastings makes
Greece look solvent,

and Arnott can't
keep it in his pants.

Their transgressions are
minor in comparison, irrelevant.

How did you figure out I
was an undercover officer?

What, I give you tips so
that you can do a better job

on the next innocent
officer that you go after?

I did a good enough job on you.

You want me on a string,

wondering when you're
gonna screw up my career.

You don't like it
when the shoe's

on the other foot, do you?

Let me explain something
to you, Inspector.

You're facing a charge
of conspiracy to murder.

That's a life sentence.

I'm not gonna
be in here for life.

I'm innocent, and I'm
gonna clear my name,

and that will become
apparent at the trial.

If we get that far.

- We will.
- Is this what you want, Kate?

Wouldn't it be
better if you went out

and found the actual culprit,

and got all the charges
against me dropped?

- The evidence points at you.
- Circumstantial evidence.

The CPS buy it.
So will the courts.

Yeah, the courts.

Where it's gonna come out that
you're connected to the person

who's much more likely
to have set up the ambush.

There's no connection.

You know what?
You're a good liar, Kate.

Not good enough to fool me
when you were undercover,

but good enough
to hide that call.

And I'm so glad you did,

because you've made
yourself my ticket out of here.

Well, whilst you're in
here, bouncing off the walls,

our investigation
rolls on, day after day,

gathering more
evidence against you.

For one, we'll find
out the real reason

why you were sniffing
around that garage.

I told you.

We'll see.

We've both been here before.

So has major violent crime.

What matters is
Denton came here.

Yeah, following a
missing persons lead.

This is the exact place
used by Tommy's killer.

If that isn't a
possible connection

between the two of
them, I don't know what is.

What?

I searched this
place. It was flat.

Well, it's not anymore.

Get the landlord on the phone.

We need consent to get
a search team over here.

Let's see what comes
from the garage.

But now we've got access
to the witness protection files,

we've got Tommy.

We've got Akers, who
was his W.P. officer,

and her phone records.

And then we've got Denton.

But nothing in either the files
or the phone history connects

either party to Denton.

- All right?
- All right.

Yeah, all right.

So gaffer says you
were probies with Akers.

Yeah, I went through
Ryton with her.

Honest copper?

Yeah.

What?

We're playing catch-up.

Feels like everybody else
got first dibs on this one.

First thing we did was
look for prior contact

between Akers and Denton.

They never worked together.
They never called each other.

As far as we can tell, they
were complete strangers.

Never met until a few
minutes before the ambush.

- As per Denton's statement.
- Yeah.

There's a hell of a lot of
evidence against Denton.

Oh, yeah, you're
right. There is.

Look, the gaffer's
asked me to do a job.

It's not my fault you
were kept out of the loop.

But, really, around the office,

you ought to be
calling me "sir."

Sir.

Sir.

Good.

Have a nice day.

Wanker.

Twat.

Okay.

According to Akers'
phone records,

a few minutes beforehand
she called a number

registered to her husband.

She calls home,

says, "I might be a little
bit late tonight, love,"

and then arranges
the transfer via Denton.

Makes sense, but let's
talk to the husband anyway.

- Good idea.
- I'll call him.

No, it's fine. I'll do it.

Do you mind if we
set the interview up

for tomorrow, though, 'cause
my Tesco shuts at 8:00?

All right.

Hi.

In the morning, I'm gonna
return to take a statement

with my partner, Steve Arnott.

You'll answer all our
questions fully and honestly,

with the exception of
disclosing Jayne's request

for you to contact me

and the fact that you
did attempt to contact me.

- Right. Okay.
- Okay.

Kate... I get it.

Last thing I want to
do is embarrass you.

You picked a good day, Ted.

We've got Bourbon creams.

Thanks very much,
sir, but I'm fine.

Why didn't you notify me you
were arresting D.I. Denton?

I didn't realize I had to, sir.

I thought we agreed we
were on the same team.

We are, sir.

It's just there's the principle
of nonreciprocity between...

I'm managing one
of the biggest cases,

if not the biggest, this
force has ever seen.

Every move's being
watched like a hawk.

And may I ask is
there any difficulty

with Denton's arrest, sir?

No, of course not.

You did the right thing.

Luckily, we've managed to play
this development in our favor.

It's just that you
would have appreciated

some forewarning, sir.

That's all it is.

Well, if I could just beg

another minute of
your time, please, sir.

Quickly.

I'm gonna send
you the audio file

of our interview
with D.I. Denton

in which you'll hear
her leveling accusations

intended to discredit
two AC-12 officers.

D.S. Stephen Arnott is accused

of having a liaison
with a witness, sir.

It happens.

- Okay.
- The second officer?

Well, that would be me, sir.

D.I. Denton obtained
my financial records

and is accusing me of having

high levels of undisclosed
financial losses, sir.

Her actions in
obtaining those records

are, in my opinion,
unlawful, sir,

but, however, the information
she has against me is correct.

I'm sorry. How did it happen?

A retired colleague invited
me to invest in a property deal

in the Irish Republic.

I meant how did she
access your records?

That's still under
investigation, sir.

You're aware the
prosecutor's going for

public interest immunity
against D.I. Denton?

I am, sir.

And there's a chance they'll
umbrella AC-12's evidence

with witness protection.

It's possible this
could all end up

being brushed under the carpet.

That's out of my hands, sir.

This must have been
difficult for you, Ted.

It shows your integrity.

Notwithstanding, I'm
gonna have to consider

how it affects your position.

O-Of course, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Akers, I'm D.S. Arnott.
D.C. Fleming you know.

Hi.

- Hi, Kate.
- Hi.

Come in.

You two seen each other since...

The funeral? No.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Jayne left for work as
normal that morning.

She didn't say anything about
there being anything unusual

that she had to do that day.

Did your wife ever discuss
the particular witness

she was dealing with?

Not a word. Jayne
didn't do that.

D.I. Lindsay Denton.

That a name you ever
heard from your wife?

No.

According to your
wife's phone records,

she made a telephone call at
exactly 8:43 p.m. that evening.

That your number?

- My mobile, yeah.
- Do you recall what she said?

She said that something
had come up at work

and that she was
going to be home late.

She said she'd call me later

and let me know
how things were going.

That's all?

To the best of my recollection.

Thank you, Mr. Akers.

We know this is a
difficult time for you.

Your assistance
has been valuable.

See you out.

Sorry, Mr. Akers.

If someone's in fear of
their life, a police officer,

then they do something about it.

Was there anything she
said, an unusual turn of phrase,

a name, anything, that
might alert someone

to what was going on?

There wasn't. No.

Thanks again, Mr. Akers.

A word.

You got something to say

about the interview
with Akers' husband?

Writing up the
statement for the boss.

Well, he's made me deputy SIO,

so I'll take a look
at it when it's ready.

Congratulations.

You're worried it doesn't fit.

Hmm?

Akers makes a random
phone call to Denton,

and yet it's all Denton?

That's why we're
looking for connections.

Our side and your side.
And we haven't found one.

Have you seen the preliminaries
on the search of Denton's house?

Not one piece of
incriminating evidence.

But I'm guessing summat
wasn't right with Akers' husband.

Cup of tea.

Look, I've put in a request
for financial forensics for...

I've put in a request
for financial forensics

for Akers' bank account.

If she was getting
paid for information.

Great minds think
alike. Nice one.

Well, Denton's in custody.
How's the boss gonna react?

Don't know, mate.

I'm not sure how I feel about
sending an innocent copper down.

I need my eight hours a night.

- Steve, what was that?
- Nothing. He's a twat.

Steven.

Sir.

Shut the door.

Remain standing.

I've been trying to figure out

the best way of
dealing with this matter,

and, frankly, I'd
rather not have to.

And I don't fancy talking to
this nurse about what happened

between the pair of
you, so I'll start with you.

This isn't relevant
to our investigation.

Yes, it is, because we have
Denton on tape quoting the regs.

She was clutching at straws.

She'll say anything
to undermine us.

Why don't you let me
be the judge of that?

The nurse isn't a
witness against Denton.

She's never even heard of her.

Did you have inappropriate
relations with a witness?

As I've said, sir,
she's not a witness.

Not our witness, anyway,

and MVC aren't charging
her as an accessory.

So, what are you saying,
son? What, she was fair game?

I'm saying I know the difference

between screwing up an
investigation and just screwing.

There's discreditable conduct,

and there's just
plain right and wrong.

Meaning?

She was already under
threat for her little boy's life.

She was in protective custody.

If you've got a moral
problem, that's down to you.

There's nothing
wrong with my morality!

I'm a single bloke, and
I've got a normal private life.

With respect, sir, you
need a better reason

for having this conversation.

How the hell are we
supposed to uphold standards

if you're running around town
not upholding them yourself?

That's my reason. And
it's a bloody good one.

I'm disappointed, son.

Go on. Get out!

Another bollocking?
That's all I need.

No.

I'll tell you what
you need. Come on.

So, this nurse...
She fit, was she?

All right.

Well? Did you?

You need to brush up
your interrogation technique.

Don't look now, right...

What did I say
about not looking?

There's a couple
of birds behind you.

Now, I'm not formulating
a plan or anything, but...

There's three of them.

I'm a bloody
detective inspector.

I can see there's three of them.

There's always one
who's got a boyfriend,

on her period or summat.

You were obviously off

the day they did gender
awareness training.

Hey, I gave the gender
awareness training.

This is bloody weird, Dot.

What, me and you
working together?

Well, yeah.

Well, that's
anti-corruption, mate.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Mm, and this is all
on me, by the way.

- No, honestly.
- We'll have no arguments.

First things first.

Captain.

Pop over there, yeah?

Ask those lovely ladies
what we can get them to drink.

No food, mind. I'm
not made of money.

Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent bitch!
Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Meter down. Do you see it?

Yeah, it's ready.

Hi.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

So there's a body?

- We're taking it from here.
- Sir?

- Our crime scene.
- You're joking.

It's our side of
the investigation.

That floor was collapsing

because there's something
underneath it collapsing.

It's thanks to Kate the
subsidence was even noticed.

Well, top marks for that.

Sir, may I respectfully
request any findings be shared?

Send your request
to my office in writing.

Somebody will get back to you

within the next 10
working days, okay?

Yes, please, ladies
and gentlemen.

It's okay. I've got it.

Here it comes.

Call me later for
initial forensics.

I've got it.

Let's go.

We're not making any
announcement about the body.

You sure, sir?

No, not until we
know how it fits in

with the overall investigation.

Sorry, Andrew, I've got
another call incoming.

- Okay, boss.
- We'll catch up in the morning.

Okay. Love to Liz
and the kids. Bye.

- Mike Dryden.
- Sorry, sir. It's Jo Rise.

New Jo. Hi.

I'm afraid The Evening
Herald is going to run

the speeding-ticket story.

I need to question you further

in regards to the
industrial estate.

What were you
really doing there?

I was investigating the
disappearance of Carly Kirk,

as I've already stated.

Ever been there before,

consorted with individuals
connected with the place?

No.

A body's been found
buried under the floor

of the old A&B Carriage
Repairs industrial unit.

Been there about two months.

And your presence
was what, a coincidence?

I was investigating the disap...

The men who carried
out the ambush

were the same men
who used the nurse

to gain access to the hospital.

Same target.

Same clothing...
Motorcycle gear.

They took the
nurse to that garage,

same place where the
girl's body was buried.

And you went there too.

Now, if this was your case,

would you write those
off as coincidences?

- No.
- No.

So, one way or
another, you're involved.

No.

The evidence is out
there. We will find it.

A girl. What age?

About 15.

Carly Kirk?

No I.D. yet. Only
initial forensics.

Why not?

Her face and finger
pulps were burnt off

using a high-temperature
flame, most likely a blowtorch.

Her teeth were
removed postmortem,

most likely with pliers,

preventing comparison
of dental records.

Cause of death?

Strangulation using
some kind of ligature.

Can her DNA be
compared to Carly's?

There were control samples

obtained from her personal
effects when she disappeared.

They haven't been traced as yet.

They're lost?

It's just an admin glitch.

She was a nobody
when she was alive.

And dead she's still one.

Why are you so
convinced it's her?

Because of a lead
I was following.

The same lead that
you think makes out

that I had to be in on it.

I was only searching for Carly.

Why?

Of all the long-term
mispers, why her?

She was... She was
only recently disappeared.

There were leads.

I thought we'd find her.

I thought maybe there'd be

some good news
for once in this job.

Ma'am, what's wrong?

Look... It's tough
in here. On anyone.

They told me about what
happened to your food.

Maybe you could make sure

that you only eat stuff
out of a sealed wrapper.

They said that you
requested a piano keyboard.

I'm sure that's
something we can look at.

If you can cooperate
with our investigation,

tell us things that we
don't already know,

there's all sorts we can
do to improve your situation.

I know why I'm in here.

Because I picked up a phone.

Because an officer in danger,

somebody I'd never even
met before, requested my help,

and I did what any decent
police officer would do.

Yeah, you did pick up
a phone. In a call box.

To speak to the nurse

who was looking after
the target of the ambush.

And lied through your
teeth about it ever since.

That's the reason
you're in here.

I shouldn't have lied.

I realized how
incriminating it sounded.

That I'd called the nurse.

So you're admitting it?

Yeah.

Yeah. So, what is your
connection with the nurse?

None.

It didn't take a
genius to work out

where the witness
was being treated.

I made calls, always
from phone boxes.

Pretended I was from
a recruitment agency

asking for the names of nurses

who worked on the
intensive care unit.

Why?

Because he had to know who
was in on it, who was after him.

I wanted to know if he'd spoken,

if he'd said anything that
could prove my innocence.

Is that the best you
can come up with?

- It's the truth.
- Well, it sounds...

What? Pathetic?

- Desperate?
- Yeah.

I wasn't even supposed
to be on duty that night.

I was covering.

I did that a lot for the
inspectors with families.

It was my way of trying
to get on, I suppose.

Pathetic.

Desperate.

I need you to amend
your statement, ma'am,

to go on record with
what you've just admitted

regarding the phone call.

I'm happy to.

Just as soon as you do the same.

Does the deputy chief constable
have a statement to make

regarding the allegation
about his speeding offense

in The Evening Herald?

The subject of this briefing

is the ongoing
investigation into the ambush

in which three police
officers lost their lives.

Are you still the
best man for the job?

I will give a brief statement.

My wife and I strenuously
deny the allegation.

The fact that in the
midst of what is clearly

a complex and
controversial investigation,

The Herald chooses to
trot out this inaccurate slur...

- Will you resign?
- Is your position untenable?

Is your position untenable?

Have you still got the
chief constable's backing?

Will you be suspended?

Makes a change from
a minging subway.

You all right? Get you a drink?

No, I better not have any more.

Have mine.

What's wrong?

Rich Akers is hiding something.

On the night of the
ambush, he called me.

What'd he call you about?

A message from Jayne.

She needed to speak to me.

About moving the witness?

Why'd you hide it?

Rich and I were involved
behind Jayne's back.

I didn't want it coming out.

Who else you told?

No one.

Keep it that way.

You draw a line around it

and you walk away from
it like it never happened.

- Steve...
- This'd be your career.

You see a life for
yourself outside the job?

No.

And Richard Akers, he
won't blab about this?

He hasn't so far.

Good.

Down that. I'll get you home.

Lindsay Denton knows.

That's what all that
business was with your phone.

She went through my call
history, using it as leverage.

Your version of events is
Richard Akers called you

because he was
worried about his wife.

It didn't materially
affect the investigation.

- End of.
- Steve, that's a lie.

Maybe there are
some people out there

who always tell the truth
and ones who always lie.

The rest of us
choose our moments.

This is one of them.

The allegation about me
and my wife won't go away.

If you've thrown back a denial,

often there's a delay
while they get corroboration.

Screw them.

I've got a bigger story for you.

The person charged in
connection with the ambush...

The 36-year-old woman...
She's a police officer.

Detective Inspector
Lindsay Denton

from the missing persons
unit at 4th Street Station.

She led the convoy
into the ambush...

and conspired in the
witness' murder at the hospital.

Is it correct

that Detective
Inspector Lindsay Denton

has been charged with
conspiracy to murder?

I'm not going to be drawn into

elaborating on
press speculation.

God help me,
when I find the leak,

I'm gonna bury the bastard.

How'd they get this?

What's the link between
D.I. Denton and the gunmen?

No comment.

Have you understood
the safety briefing?

Yeah.

You must complete
two sessions per week

of no less than 15 minutes each

and no more than
30 minutes each.

Answering yes or no
only, do you understand?

Which machines can I use?

Yes.

Help me!

No!

No! No!

No!

No!

Bloody hell, Jen. Quick!

You two, get away from her!

Have a seat.

Look, if anyone finds out,
we're for the high jump.

We'll sort out those
two back there,

and we can keep this
between ourselves?

Yeah, sure.

Cheers. You're a lifesaver.

Fancy a cuppa?

Yeah. That'd be
really nice, thanks.

Jen, can you do the
paperwork and I'll do the brew?

No problem, Al. Lindsay...

Is it okay if I
call you Lindsay?

Yeah, sure.

Lindsay, could you pop
your hands on the table

next to this diagram so I
can have a look at them?

Milk, sugar?

Yeah, uh, milk,
no sugar, please.

You've got a cracked nail.

Could have been
worse, I suppose.

Thank God it wasn't!

You've been talking to AC-12!

From now on, you
keep your gob shut!

Sir.

Thank you, Ted,
but there's no need.

Hat off. At ease.

Sir.

I've considered
the pros and cons

with no little deliberation.

You're in a vulnerable position.

An anti-corruption officer
is more likely than most

to encounter situations

that place him
susceptible to bribery.

Sir.

However, coming to me as you did

is a mark of your character.

This is possibly the most
morally complex investigation

this force has ever carried out.

I, for one, would feel
less confident of success

without your guiding
hand on the tiller.

I'd like you to carry on.

I don't know what to say, sir.

I haven't discussed
this with anyone.

I think the fewer people

know about your
situation, the better.

Very grateful,
sir. Thank you, sir.

Is there anything
I can do to help?

No, no, sir. No.

The wife and I are
back on track, sir.

Good man. Glad to hear it.

Charged anyone else while
our backs have been turned?

Very interesting question, sir.

Should I have?

Must be great up
there on that pedestal,

all holier-than-thou.

All the further to fall, mind,

when the truth comes out.

- Les.
- Sir.

- All right, boss?
- All right.

What you having?

Oh, it's my shout.

Pint of Kronenbourg. Ta.

I imagine I'm keeping you
from your busy social life.

Could do with a night off.

Seeing that nurse again?

Sir, you and I see
certain things differently.

That doesn't mean
there isn't respect.

Except for my personal views.

Some.

We were married at 18.

She was the only one.

And we waited. Is that
what you don't respect?

I spoke to you, sir,
in the wrong manner.

I apologize.

I'd be grateful if you
could see your way

to putting it behind us.

You would, would you?

Well, I guess it'd
be rude not to.

Don't want to be rude.

I disappointed you, sir.

Sometimes I disappoint myself.

Welcome to the club.

Are you in much pain?

Yes.

What have they said
about your hands?

The medical officer doesn't
know how bad they'll be.

He's referred
me to a specialist.

I'm sorry.

I heard there was a problem
with the CCTV recording.

Conveniently.

D.I. Denton, I'd like to take
a statement from you today

to be included in evidence,
regarding your amendments

to earlier statements
given in evidence.

We had an agreement about that.

Are you aware the prosecution's

made a public interest
immunity application?

It was brought up
at my bail hearing.

Well, it's been accepted.

They've got nondisclosure
of sensitive evidence.

Included in said sensitive
evidence is my call history.

They can't do that.

I was an undercover officer
gathering evidence against you.

Disclosure of my
communications history

could jeopardize undercover
contacts and future ops.

But that's just not
true. It's a cover-up.

Our legal team did their
job. I'm just here to do mine.

Now, in regards to the
phone call you made...

What, so your phone call
from Akers gets vanished?

Like the CCTV of me being
attacked by two inmates,

like those same
two inmates testifying

that I burned my own hands

and that the prison
officers tried to stop me?

It suits everyone
for me to be silenced.

I'm taking your
statement, aren't I?

Look, this attack,
it's opened my eyes.

I was set up to get involved
in the transfer of the witness.

The newspaper leak
about me. The attack.

And now the
nondisclosure of evidence.

It all makes sense. Even
the screws are involved.

- They said as much.
- They said what?

They said not to talk to you.

What? What we're doing now?

No one appears
to be stopping it.

No, but...

Look, you've been badly
shaken by the attack.

Maybe it's best I come
when you're feeling better.

No, wait.

Listen to me.

Don't you see how
I've been set up?

Even down to the fact that AC-12

were prevented from
looking at witness protection.

All you could do
was focus on me.

Now, only somebody at executive
level has that kind of power.

And the only person I told about
the operation was Mike Dryden.

You've lied through your teeth
throughout this investigation.

And now you're
using an exec officer

as a way of tying us in knots.

No, that's not what it is.

Really?

I know Mike Dryden.

You "know" him?

We had an affair.

Five years.

And?

And?

He didn't leave
his wife, did he?

You gave him an ultimatum,
and then it was all over.

You and I both know that
you don't have the right

to act superior over
our private lives.

Why are you only
telling us this now?

Because I don't
know myself if it's true.

Why would he do that to
me? I've done nothing to him.

If anything, I've protected him.

No. You're a woman scorned.

Not only do you get
your revenge on him,

but you use him as a way of
screwing up our investigation.

Do you believe that I'm guilty?

I just gather the
evidence. Courts decide.

I get it. I get it.

It's your way of
dealing with the fact

that you might be putting
away an innocent person.

I think you're guilty.

Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent bitch!
Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent bitch!
Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent
bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch!

D.C. Fleming.

Jan Evans.

You left a message regarding
the 4th Street duty logs.

Yeah. Thanks for
getting back to me.

I'm seeking information

regarding the rota
for duty inspector

at 4th Street Station on
the night of September 5th.

- You mean...
- Yeah, the night of the ambush.

I have that information
on file. Please hold.

Dot's up to something.

One minute.

D.I. Denton covered
the ghost rota

as Inspector Barlow
was reassigned that night.

Who was responsible
for that change?

Hold one second.

Inspector Barlow
received an invitation

to attend a session
of the Crime Executive.

It came directly from Deputy
Chief Constable Dryden's office.

Great. Thank you.

What's going on?

Well?

We've got the financial
forensics back in.

Looks like Jayne Akers
was on the receiving end

of a substantial payment.

- How substantial?
- Upwards of 50 grand.

We need to include Kate.

Akers was her mate.

And Kate's my partner.

Steve.

Under Rule 46,

vulnerable persons
must shower alone.

From the dispensers on the wall,

you're permitted
one measure of soap

and one measure of shampoo.

You must shower in no
longer than six minutes.

Answering only yes or
no, do you understand?

What is it?

Lindsay alleged she was set
up by another police officer.

I've gone back through her file,

and she served with this
officer for nearly a year

back when she was a
D.S., working in crime audit.

He was a chief superintendent.

I've just taken a call from
one of the administrators

at 4th Street Station and...

On the night of the ambush,

this particular officer caused
the rota to be changed...

The change that
put Lindsay Denton

on duty that night.

He was a chief
super? What is he now?

Deputy chief constable.

It's Mike Dryden.

Oh, Jesus bloody Christ.

- Dot...
- Yeah, I need a breather.

One wrong move and we
could all be directing traffic.

Well? Steve?

All right.

But first I need to talk to
you about Jayne Akers.

How are you?

You do not have to say anything.

Tickety-boo.

You sit there and you
try and twist some case

out of my misfortunes.

Status zero! Status zero!

Three of our colleagues

have lost their lives
in the line of duty.

All I did was do my job.

Three of your own in the
morgue because of you.

- No firearms?
- No backup!

The officer plunged five floors

and is reported to have died.

D.I. Denton, I am
arresting you for conspiracy.

Take away the one
good thing in my life.

I think you're guilty...

I think you're guilty...
I think you're guilty...

I think you're guilty.

No.

I'm delighted that significant
progress is being made.

The net is closing in.

I believe you.
