[Upbeat music]

Oi, come here!

Oi, come here!

You're nicked.

[Church bell chiming]

Who's the one that got him?

Back to what you
were doing, Sandra.

You can't touch that one,
she's Mr. Pullman's daughter.

[Standing] I like
a bit of danger.

Then I've got all
you can handle.

I'm dci ackroyd.
You've heard of me?

[Standing] Yes, guv.

You like being a cop?

[Standing] Yes, guv.

You want a transfer to my team?

[Standing] Yes, I do.

Then it's done.

Welcome aboard,
detective sergeant standing.

[Upbeat music]

[Lighter clacks]

[Steve] He's here, Gerry.

[Man grunts]

Still got it.

the end of the day. ♪

Well, can't your mum do it?

Gone where?

Has she, indeed? Who with?

No, no, no, but it's all
right for some, isn't it?

Well, listen, what about
what's-her-name from next door?

Caitlin, just because someone
has a drink now and again

it doesn't make them an alc-

oh.

Yeah, no, that is
quite a lot, yeah.

Yeah, okay then, but you'll
have to lay it all out for me.

Yeah, but not for over 30 years.

All the gear's
different, isn't it?

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Everything all right, Gerry?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, guv'nor,

can I have tomorrow off?

Caitlin's gotta work
and her husband's away

at some conference,
so they need someone

to look after the little'UN.

Can we spare you,
Gerry, is the question.

What if we find ourselves
in another high-speed pursuit

like yesterday?

She's trusting you
all day with her baby?

Yeah, we should probably
put social services on alert.

He's asleep most of the time.

Like grandfather like grandson.

Oh.

Trouble?

Internet dating.

And I'm saying that out loud

because it's nothing
to be ashamed of

and I don't need you three
giggling about it behind my back.

Because I am not
looking at three men here

who've made
unimpeachable life choices.

No, I think it's great.

Yeah, good for you,
you get out there.

Fine, then.

What happened to the bloke
who took her to Barcelona?

What goes on in Barcelona,
Gerry, stays in Barcelona.

And he did stay in Barcelona,

with a 25-year-old
occupational therapist.

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Hiya, guv'nor, if they only
found this body a few hours ago,

what's it got to do with ucos?

The murder investigation
teams are all up to their eyes,

so strickland wants us to
baby-sit until he can assign it.

Baby-sitting's very
much Gerry's forte.

This one's even
less likely to wake up.

The body's been here for
about 30 years, they reckon.

Who owns the house?

A Russian billionaire
bought it six months ago

for seven million quid.

Thanks. He's having the
whole place gutted and rebuilt.

[Steve] When was the last
time you changed a nappy?

It's like riding
a bike, isn't it?

When's the last
time you rode a bike?

How hard can it be?

You've never changed
a nappy, have you?

It's a generational thing.

Is it?

My wife and I took it in turns.

Yeah, well, that's
a Scottish thing.

No, it isn't.

And how many
children have you had?

How many wives,
more to the point.

Well, if any of you wanna
come round and give us a hand,

feel free.

No, I'd much
rather just sit back

and watch you
try and figure it out.

I'll bring some popcorn.

And on that neat segue, this
is gonna be a cinema room.

Oh, I see what you did there.

It'll be nice
when it's finished.

Workmen have been digging
it out for the past few days.

Overnight, the water pump failed

and when they
got in this morning,

water had seeped up into
the hole and this came with it.

[Camera shutters clack]

[Danny] What had
he done to the house?

Could it predate the house?

It's not likely.

A signet ring.

It was found on the body.

Came off him in one
of the workmen's hands

as he tried to pull the
thing out of the water

before he realised what it
was he'd grabbed hold of.

He's gonna be having
some colourful nightmares.

More 1970s than 17th-century.

Does anyone need
anything from here?

Scene of crime are gonna
run an ultrasound and see

if there's anything else where
the body came from. Dan?

Well, it's 30 years on,

the builders have
gutted the place,

- [sot music]
- So there's nothing for me.

[Fist thuds]

[Sasha] Steve?

[Steve] No.

[Sasha] Gerry?

No.

Better get used to
handling unpleasant things

in bags, Gerry.

Yeah.

Everything all right, Gerry?

Eh?

You seem a bit away
with the fairies today.

Well, it's nerves,
big day tomorrow.

Hey, why don't you take the baby

to one of those
mother-and-baby screenings, eh?

Meet some yummy mummies.

Yummy grannies.

Here we go, 30 years ago,
that house belonged to a guy

called Richard Lloyd Owen.

He bought it in 1972,
sold it again in 1987.

Why are we bothering with this?

What do you mean?

Well, it's not our case, is it?

Like Sasha said,
we're baby-sitting it,

it'll be taken off our
hands in a day or so.

Yeah, but while
we've got it, you know-

yes, needs to be fed, winded,

taken for a nice
walk in the park.

Doesn't look like Lloyd
Owen lived in it, after 1976

it was standing empty.
Maybe the killers broke in.

No, those houses were
pretty close together.

If someone was going to dig up

the basement of an empty house,
a neighbour would have heard.

Well, maybe if it
didn't seem suspicious,

if there was building
works going on.

I'll check the
planning department.

These houses are listed,
you'd need permission.

[Door opens]

We have a development.

[Shoes clacking]

When they pulled that
body out of the water,

they found something tangled up

in what was left of his clothes.

Detective chief
inspector Martin ackroyd.

Oh, Jesus.

Gerry?

Is it definitely him?

Dental records are a match.

Why are we looking at Gerry?

Because Gerry was
working under dci ackroyd

when he went missing.

Yeah, but I'd only
just been transferred.

Went missing?

Martin ackroyd failed
to turn up for work

on the 7th of November 1983.

No-one's seen him since

and his case was
classified as unsolved,

so it comes under the
ucos purvey already.

Cop goes missing, they
must have looked pretty hard.

They did, but he disappeared
off the face of the earth.

[Steve] Have we got
a cause of death yet?

Pathologist hasn't finished yet

but the skull was caved in,

so that's our most
likely cause of death.

We have no idea what the
murder weapon might have been,

so I've asked Fiona Kennedy

to work on a
reconstruction for us.

So, who would have wanted
ackroyd dead back then?

What, you mean apart from all
the people he got banged up?

The two people that were
questioned most thoroughly

in connection with
his disappearance

were two of his sergeants,
Don Bryant and Warren McCabe.

There was a theory that Bryant
and McCabe were on the take

and that ackroyd found out
and was gonna shop them.

Nothing could be proved
but Bryant and McCabe

were essentially elbowed
off the force anyway.

Do you remember them, Gerry?

Yeah, yeah, vaguely, I mean,
I was only working with 'em

for a couple of months.

I'm assuming that
you can't shed any light

on what happened to ackroyd.

Nah, I hardly knew him.

He never came out drinking
or socialising or anything

but, erm, well, I could have
a word with the other two,

if you like.

Yeah, they're running a
security firm now. Take Danny.

It'd be just as easy if I
went on my own, wouldn't it?

Yeah, but given that
you worked with ackroyd,

albeit briefly, i'd rather
someone unconnected

went with you.

Okay.

Look, I know this
goes without saying

but I'm going to say it anyway.

This is the murder of
a fellow police officer.

We take that very
seriously indeed,

so let's not put a foot
wrong here, okay?

[Soft music]

[Car engine revving]

So these two were on the take?

I don't know, do I
look like serpico?

No, you really don't.

Well, things were
different then.

You chase villains all day long

and then you'd end up drinking

in the same boozer
as them after work.

I'm not sure that was
everyone's experience.

I'm just saying that the
lines were blurred back then.

It was harder to tell
who was properly dodgy

and who just had
a few tasty mates.

If these two were bent,

still doesn't mean
they killed a cop.

That's a very big deal.

[Door opens]

Good morning.

Hello. We're here to see
Mr. Bryant and Mr. McCabe.

[Door slams]

Don't talk to 'em.
They're in the job.

Is that Gerry standing,
as I live and breathe.

I didn't know if
you'd remember me.

Danny gryphon, Warren McCabe.

Never forget a face.

You're in that ucos
now, ain't you?

Yeah, yeah.

You too, Danny?

Mm.

Looks like you've
got all your own teeth.

You must be work
experience or something.

Is Mr. Bryant here too?

He's in a meeting.

Meeting's over, Warren.

[Door opens]

[Soft music]

[Door opens]

Gerald, come in.

-Mr.- -gryphon, Danny gryphon.

[Gerry] Martin ackroyd is dead.

[Door slums]

That's very sad. Mind you,
how old must he have been?

70, 75? Not a bad innings.

They found his
body this morning,

he's been dead
for over 30 years.

So when everyone
thought he'd disappeared-

presumably someone killed
him and that's why you're here.

[Chuckles] We're
first on the list, Warren.

We did both give quite
detailed statements at the time.

Yeah, but we've
gotta follow it up.

You know how it is, Don.

Of course I do,

but, I don't think
we've got anything

to add to our original
statements. Warren?

What he said.

If anything, the
passing of three decades

has rendered events

[door knocks]

A little bit fuzzier.

There was a rumour at the time

that ackroyd had information
about police corruption.

[Don] Rumours
in a police station.

Only rumours, though,
Mr. Gryphon, nothing proved.

We're aware of that.

Just so we make sure

we're not throwing old,
false accusations around,

trying to make two
plus two equal five.

We wouldn't do that, Don.

Well, I'm sure if either
of us remember anything-

of course.

Right, well, lovely
to have met you both.

Certainly done all
right for yourselves

despite leaving the force early.

Still, I suppose you're
always gonna be busy

with the Chapman
family as a client.

[Soft music]

That was Dominic Chapman
leaving as we came in, wasn't it?

I didn't know he was out.

[Door opens]

If you could look menacingly
after us as we leave,

that would be super.

[Door opens]

[Sasha] So, Bryant and McCabe

are being bankrolled
by the chapmans.

That's what it looks like.

The chapmans are-

organised crime.

Gerry, was there a
connection back then

between Bryant, McCabe
and the chapmans?

Not that I can remember, no.

I want someone on
Bryant and McCabe.

Now that they know
ackroyd's body's surfaced,

I wanna know what they
do and where they go. Gerry?

Me? No, no, no, I
can't do it, I'm sorry.

Well, I'm looking after the
little'UN tomorrow, aren't I?

Caitlin said I've got
to have an early night.

- Danny?
- I'd love to-

- good.
- But I have plans.

There's a special
screening of the big sleep.

I promised Fiona.

Danny!

Sorry, she's scarier than you.

She is not.

Yeah, she is.

This is so not how I imagined

running my own unit would be,

there was gonna be
coffee and doughnuts.

People calling you chief.

Yes.

I'll do it, chief.

Thank you, Steve.

Time and a half, wasn't it?

What happened to civic duty?

It's alive and well and costs
50% more after 6.00pm.

[Upbeat music]

[Sasha] She was
amazing, wasn't she?

[Danny] Mm.

[Sasha] I love that
phone call they do,

and the chemistry between them.

I said the chemistry
between them.

Sorry.

You okay?

Did you not enjoy it?

Yeah, yeah, loved
it, it's a brilliant film.

I'm just preoccupied.

Do you want to talk about it?

It's just work.

You spend roughly 50
hours a week just working.

You wanna keep half your
working life secret from me.

I don't wanna bore you.

Golf is boring,
cricket is boring,

the first Star Trek movie,
the original, not the new one,

visconti's the leopard,
that's really boring.

Just a moment,
cricket is not boring.

Your work is not boring,
not to me, 'cause you're in it.

This body in the basement,

are you up-to-date
on everything?

Yes, he was a
cop, Martin ackroyd.

He was Gerry's old
boss. Not for long but-

and?

And, I don't know.
Gerry's being a bit weird.

It's probably nothing.

Oh, I'm flattered to
have lost your attention

to "probably nothing"
for the entire evening.

Well, we found a
signet ring with the body

and Gerry's reaction
when he saw it was...

He seemed to recognise
it but he didn't let on.

Well, maybe Gerry
recognised it and finally realised

what had happened to ackroyd.

So why not say something?

I don't know.

Maybe he wasn't sure, maybe
he had other things on his mind.

Yeah, he did go
straight home after work.

Sorry, Gerry went home after
work? Oh, now I'm worried.

-I must say, -[Plate creaks]

I'm rather enjoying
the keen-eyed detective

noting everything
out of the ordinary.

Like the modern
incarnation of Philip marlowe.

Down these mean
streets a man must walk.

What, Mayfair?

You'd be surprised.

Go on.

Tales of lust and murder
amongst high society.

Lean towards the lust,
murder's a bit worky.

I can do lust.

I know you can.

Can a dame like
you handle it, though?

You'll just have to
try me, Mr. Marlowe.

Call me Phil.

He wouldn't have said that.

No, okay, how about

"she was the kind of
forensic anthropologist

who could make a
bishop kick a hole

in a stained-glass window?"

That's more like
it. I'll get my coat.

[Guests chattering]

Hiya, I'm looking
for Tommy naylor.

Tommy naylor.

No, sorry, mate.

All right.

[Phone ringing]

Hello? Doug!

Hello, mate, thanks
for getting back to us.

Yeah, yeah, I'm
not bad, yeah. You?

What you up to?

Doug? Hello, you're
breaking up, mate.

Hold on, Doug? Doug, you...

There you are.

No, no, I'm trying to
track down Tommy naylor.

I'm slowly working my way
through all the old haunts

but no sign yet.

No, no. You haven't got a
number for him, have you?

Oh, is he? When's he back?

Cheers, mate, thanks a lot.

[Don] Hello, Gerald.

[Chuckles] I was wondering
when you two would pitch up.

And here we are. Looking
for Tommy naylor, are we?

Your old partner in crime.

What happened to ackroyd?

He died, apparently. You
told us that, didn't you?

That's right, and we're
gonna get to the bottom of it.

I don't think you
wanna do that, Gerald.

See, what with all those
shenanigans back then,

it was sort of best

that should dear old
Martin ackroyd resurface,

which it seems he's done now,

it might be best to provide
a helpful trail of breadcrumbs

for whichever coppers
might find themselves

in need of some
investigative assistance.

What have you done?

You don't want to know.

Stay clear.

It's for your own good, Gerald.

Think of this as a friendly
warning of what's at stake here.

In case you've forgotten
since the naylor business.

Oh, yeah?

Hiya, Gerry.

I was looking for you in the pub

but they said I'd
just missed you.

I've got the car with me
if you fancy a ride home.

You head off. I'll see
you in the morning.

You'd best be on your way.

[Chuckles] Oh, you'd best
be trying to make me, pal.

I was a cop in Glasgow.

Do you think this is my first
time round the dance floor?

Well, are you dancing?

Well, it was lovely running
into you again, Gerald,

let's keep in touch.

We will.

[Steve] So following these
two from club to pub to bar,

wondering what the hell
they're up to and, lo and behold,

it turns out they're following
you. What's all that about?

Well, I've known
them from way back.

It didn't exactly look
like friends reunited.

A little misunderstanding,
that's all.

What's going on, Gerry?

Nothing.

That wasn't nothing.

Look, Steve, it's not
relevant to anything, leave it.

Okay, so you're happy enough

for me to include
that little fracas

when I report back to
Sasha in the morning?

Well, no, I'd rather you didn't.

Well, there's a
shock. Who's naylor?

Who?

Gerry.

Look, it's just a bit
of ancient history

that needs
clearing up, I'm fine.

All right.

If you say so.

Yeah. Oh, and
thanks for the lift home.

No problem. Have a good
day with the baby tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, yeah, cheers.

Who's naylor?

Good night, Steve.

[Drink pouring]

[Soft music]

[Door slums]

This way, Gerry.

Let me introduce
you to the team.

[Bell ringing]

Gerry standing, meet Warren
McCabe and Don Bryant.

All right?

Gerry's one of us
now, aren't you, Gerry?

You two can show him the ropes.

[Upbeat music]

[Car door slums]

Welcome to the team, Gerald.

You're saying Don
Bryant gave this to you?

And he got it from who?

I don't know the bloke's name.

Scrap metal yard,
off the uxbridge road,

belongs to the Chapman
family. I'm not a grass.

But I'm not on the take,
either, and I don't want to be,

I just want to do me job.

I understand.

And I'm sorry about this.

I was worried that something
was going on with those two,

but they get results
and I wanted to believe

that was on the up
and up. But all right.

Do you know how
we deal with this?

How?

This needs to go upstairs.

Dci sainsbury's running a team

looking at the Chapman family.

If Bryant and McCabe
are in their pocket,

sainsbury will
wanna know about it.

I think he's going to want
more evidence than just this.

You need to carry
on as you were.

Take the money they give
you, make a note of how much

and where it came from.

This is just you and me
at the moment, all right?

I just wanna do me job.

This is your job now, Gerry.
You're gathering evidence.

Baby formula. It's already
mixed in the bottles.

You just nuke it for 30 seconds,
then give it a good shake,

make sure it's not too hot.

We know all this, don't we?

But don't be dipping
your fingers in it

if you've just had a fag, dad.

I wouldn't do that!

And he'll need winding after.

Yeah, like I used to wind you.

Er, like mum used to wind me.

You're gonna be late, you know.

[Caitlin sighs]

Okay. You'll be all right?

Yeah, of course we will.

A bit of telly, a
couple of songs, eh?

Oh, for god's sake
don't sing to him.

[Chuckles] Very funny!

Thanks for this, dad.
I'll check in when I can.

Okay, we'll be here.

Bye, sweetheart.

Bye, mummy,
bye-bye. Go on, wave.

[Door closes]

All right, Charles, get
your coat, we're going out.

[Steve sighs]

Does the name naylor
mean anything to you?

As in Tommy naylor?

Yeah, it might be.

It's just a name that came
up in one of ackroyd's files.

It's before my time
down here, you know.

Yeah, it's probably
Tommy naylor, then.

Organised crime, rival
to the Chapman family.

He wouldn't have been
making very big waves back then

but he would have
probably been on the radar.

Is he still around?

Oh, yes.

[Shoes clacking]

[Door opens]

You're in early.

Worms to catch.

So how was last night?

Steve?

Hm, with what?

Bryant and McCabe?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I mean, they went on a
bit of a pub crawl but, er,

nothing to report.

[Gerry] Morning.

- Gerry?
- Shhh! He's asleep!

Gerry, you're not
meant to be here.

Well, I got a bit
bored, you know,

and I thought you
could do with a hand.

This is Charlie.

Gerry, you can't
bring a baby into work,

however cute he might be.
Oh, look at his little hands.

Hello, Charlie.

[Gerry] All right
little bruiser, isn't he?

Well, he's certainly
got the genes for it.

Just make sure he never goes

near one of those book things.

Oh, gosh.

He's actually incredibly
sweet, Gerry. Congratulations.

No, he's brilliant,
as good as gold.

Yeah, but he can't
be in the office.

Well, I've got something
to check on the computer.

I'll only be an hour or so,

and then we'll be
out of your hair.

As if I don't have enough
babies to look after!

[Door opens]

[Door slums]

Jesus!

[Laughing] Ah, there you are.

I am trying to run a
murder investigation here.

Sorry, I came in early and-

you're not sleeping,
are you, sir?

The new baby doesn't like sleep.

No, they don't.

She knows exactly
when I'm just nodding off,

she can time it to the second.

[Sasha] Uncanny, aren't they?

When do they stop this?

Oh, it's just a few more months

and then, of course,
she'll start teething.

No, she won't. I won't allow it.

[Charlie crying]

I can hear it. It's like she's
inside my head [panting].

[Upbeat music]

- Gerry?
- [Charlie crying]

[Gerry] Mm.

[Steve] The baby's awake.

All right.

Well, it might need
winding, or feeding?

Did you bring milk?

Of course I did,
it's down there.

[Charlie gurgles]

Well, I'll do it, then, shall I?

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Give him here. He
probably doesn't like heights.

There you are,
there's a good boy.

Look, he smiled at me.

[Danny] Did he really?

[Steve] Would you
get out of his way?

You're freaking him
out. Yeah, it's all right.

You blokes are doing great.

So I'm just gonna
nip out for a bit.

You're what?

I won't be long. There's
extra nappies down there.

- Gerry.
- Gerry, you can't go.

You're doing brilliantly!

But you can't just
leave him here,

you can't leave him here.

We're in a Nick, he
couldn't be in safer hands.

I won't be long.

Gerry.

Oh, and remember to wind him.

So Bryant and McCabe
are top of the list?

For the moment, yes.

We want to get the ins and outs

on their connection
with the Chapman family.

[Phone bleeping]

- Oh!
- Ah, Internet date?

Is that grinding, or
whatever it's called?

No, no, sir, it's not that one.

Going well though, is it?

Yeah, going fine, thank you.

Excellent [exhales].

Sir?

Good, right. I'm...

Good work. Keep it...

Keep going.

No, I think you're right.

Probably where we should-

that makes some sense.

We should get over
there right away.

- [Danny] Yeah, we'll do it.
- [Charlie cries]

- Sir.
- Sir.

It's sleep deprivation. I
actually am going mad.

- [Charlie cries]
- Okay, Danny, you seem

to have this situation
under control.

What?! Steve?

I'll be on my mobile
if you need me.

Steve! You-

[Charlie gurgling]

Where is everyone?

I don't know, but one day
they'll have to come back,

and I will be waiting.

You're holding him wrong.

I'm not holding him wrong.

Here.

Oh, hello.

The child hates me.

Oh, well, let's hope you
can solve the murder, Charlie,

'cause no-one else around
here seems bothered.

Actually, I've found something.

I was going through
ackroyd's old paperwork

and there is something odd here.

Oh, what has uncle Danny found?

Uncle Danny has
found an unpaid invoice

from a company called
r. Woolcott associates,

presented a week before
ackroyd disappeared.

Oh, and who were they, then?

Well, they don't exist any more.

Oh, they don't exist any more.

But it looks like they
were private detectives.

Why is the dead policeman
hiring private detectives, eh?

One day I shall just start
screaming and I may never stop.

[Keyboard clacking]

[Bike clacking]

[Ronald humming]

[Gerry] Ronald sainsbury?

Yeah?

Morning. I'm from ucos.

Oh, Jack halford's lot, right?

Yeah, not any longer, sadly.

Well, how can I help you?

Well, I was wondering
if I could take you

on a little trip
down memory Lane.

[Chuckles] He was one of
your lot, as well, wasn't he?

Yeah, Brian, that's right.

[Laughs] Yeah, ordinarily
I would ask you inside

but June's got one of
her church group meetings

going on in the living room
and they're all barking mad.

[Chuckles] No,
I'm all right here.

Do you remember a dci
called Martin ackroyd?

Oh, yeah, yeah. He disappeared.

No, his body
turned up yesterday.

He's been under a
basement in primrose hill

for the last 30 years.

Blimey, well, I'm not
sure I can shed any light

on that for you.

No, of course not.

But I worked for
ackroyd very briefly

alongside a couple of sergeants,

Don Bryant and Warren McCabe.

[Chuckles] Those two toerags!

Yeah, you led a team
investigating the chapmans, right?

Did you have a
list of all the cops

who were on Chapman's payroll?

I'm sorry, I didn't
catch your name.

I'm sorry, Gerry standing.

Oh, right. I see where
this is going now.

Meaning what?

You're worried your
name is on the list, are you?

Excuse me?

Gerry standing, yes.

Your name cropped
up in that investigation,

as much as anyone's.

No, no, no, I'm clean.

Really? I think you were
up to your neck in it then.

And I think you're
up to your eyes in it

now they've found
ackroyd's body.

You see, the way I heard it,

he had been quietly
gathering evidence for months

and he was just about
to blow the whistle

and suddenly he vanishes
off the face of the earth.

You must have had quite a
party down the pub that night.

No, no, no, I was never
bent and now I work for ucos

and we need that list.

There is no list,
it went missing.

Along with all the case files.

What, everything gone?

Yes, ackroyd vanished,
so did our case.

Shame, really, 'cause
it would have been nice

if your lot had got
what was coming to you.

[Soft music]

Whatever! Thanks for your time.

Yeah.

[Horn beeps]

[Door opens]

He's gone.

What did you tell him?

Put the wind up him, like
you said. He's shitting himself.

It will only get worse. Are
you ready for the next part?

[Sighs] Let's make it
look good, shall we?

[Fist thuds]

Tommy naylor?

Oh, I smell bacon.
Anyone smell bacon?

That's very good.
I've never heard that.

[Tommy chuckles]

I haven't committed a
crime in Scotland, have I?

It depends how far back
you can trace your family.

I think we have a tartan,

but everyone has a
tartan, don't they? Please.

I didn't catch your name.

Steve mcandrew.

I'm with the unsolved
crimes and open case squad.

- Retired?
- Yeah.

Lucky you.

Does the name Martin
ackroyd mean anything to you?

No, I don't think so.

He was a detective chief
inspector in the early '80s.

Oh, a cop! Ackroyd,
yes, yes, I remember him.

Is he a friend of yours?

No, he's dead.

Sorry to hear that.

Really?

Just something
you say, isn't it?

I never really knew Mr. Ackroyd.

We were on opposite sides back

when I used to be
a little bit naughty,

so we never had much contact.

What about a guy who
used to work with him,

Gerry standing?

- [Soft music]
- [Tommy inhales]

No, sorry, doesn't
ring any bells.

Gerry's a friend of mine and
I think he's in some trouble.

It involves a couple of ex-cops
who run a security firm now.

Oh!

So we both know
who I'm talking about.

The past is a foreign
country, Steven,

it's not a tourist destination.

I should leave well
alone if I were you.

[Door opens]

I'm back!

Sh, we've just this
second got him down.

[Gerry] I told you,
he's as good as gold.

Where the bloody
hell have you been?

Oh, following something
up, dead end, though.

Well, I better get this
little bloke home, hadn't I?

So this is just free
childcare for you?

I'll make it up to you.
Tonight, the drinks are on me.

Too right they are!

Where's Steve?

God knows, he's disappeared.

He'd never know we were in
the middle of a murder inquiry.

[Soft music]

Hello, is Tommy
naylor there, please?

Ah. Yeah, just tell
him it's an old friend.

[Soft music]

I'm out.

I'll see you, and
I'll raise you 50.

50, Gerry, you're at
the big boys' table now.

Come on, then, see me.
Show me what you got, Tommy.

Fine, I'll see you,

and I'll raise you another 50.

[Suspenseful music]

I'm all in.

Sure?

This is going to hurt. Call.

Flush, ace high.

Take it.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Here, what did you have?

I was bluffing.

No, you weren't, you
had the full house.

You couldn't take the hit.

I made the bet!

Yeah, for the
benefit of the table.

I could see it in
your eyes, Gerry.

That one was going to hurt.

It's supposed to be a
level playing field, Tommy.

We leave the day jobs behind,
I can't be owing you favours.

Relax, Gerry, you
don't owe me anything.

I'm not the chapmans.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I hear things.
We all hear things.

Gerry standing's on the take.

Except if you were on the take,

you wouldn't have looked so
scared of losing that last hand.

You're taking
their money, Gerry,

but you're not spending it.

That suggests you
might be playing

a very dangerous game indeed.

You need someone
to watch your back.

Not as a quid pro
quo, just as a mate.

I'm fine.

You give my love to the
missus and little Caitlin.

Keep them safe.

The chapmans don't
observe the boundaries.

[Lighter clacks]

[Lighter clacks]

[Doorbell rings]

[Door opens]

Hello, Gerry. Long time no see.

Yeah, we've got trouble.

So I hear. One of your
friends came to see me.

Friend? Who?

Steve someone,
Scottish, little, a bit chippy.

Look, could we not do
this on the doorstep?

[Charlie crying]

Oh, new member of the
clan? Congratulations.

I'll put the kettle on, shall I?

[Door slums]

There you go, mate. Let's
get you cleaned up, eh?

So, ackroyd...

What happened?

Search me.

I'd assumed he'd been
sitting on a beach somewhere

for the last 30 years.

Well, apparently,
someone got to him

before he could get away.

My money's on Bryant and McCabe,

on Dominic Chapman's orders.

The problem is they
put me in the frame for it.

That's not good.

[Chuckles] I've no idea what
evidence they've planted,

or where.

- Ugh, god, what is that?
- [Charlie gurgling]

That, Gerry, is a metaphor.

Ugh!

So what can you do?

They're trying to make it look

like I was the bad cop
who killed a good cop.

So I've gotta prove that
that's not the way it happened.

We, you're not in
this on your own.

Oh, well, thanks, Tommy.

I went to see
one of the old dcis

who were investigating
the chapmans at the time.

I asked if he had a
list of dodgy cops.

- And?
- He said

if he had, I'd be on it.

Mm, who was the cop?

Er, Ronald sainsbury,
he worked upstairs.

Oh, dear, dear, dear.

What?

Two things, you've put
that nappy on back to front

and sainsbury
was on the payroll.

You're kidding?

No, he was one of Chapman's.

But even if you
had got the list,

it wouldn't have
got you off the hook.

There's no getting
off the hook, Tommy.

I'm responsible for the
death of a policeman.

You had no choice.

That's not gonna cut
much mustard, is it?

And even if I can prove
what really happened,

all that's gonna do is
put me in a deeper hole

with the chapmans.
Come on, Charlie.

[Charlie gurgling]

And they've got plans for
me, one way or the other.

[Siren wailing]

I'd like to report an assault.

So we reconstructed
ackroyd's skull in the computer

as to how it would have
been before the attack.

Then we simulated blows
with a variety of objects

that are commonly
used in attacks like these.

But we're not getting
very far, I'm afraid.

None of the objects
we tried caused damage

that matched what
was actually there.

We have worked out
a few things, though.

It was a blunt weapon,
no edges of any kind.

So circular like a baseball bat?

Yes, but not a baseball
bat, we tried one of those.

It was wooden, about one
and a half inches in diameter.

[Steve] You can stop talking
about me, I'm here now.

Where have you been?

I've been to see a
man about a dog.

Are you gonna get a dog, Steve?

That's a great idea.
Keep him company.

Yeah, where's Gerry?

[Danny] He took the baby home.

- Why?
- No reason.

So what have we got?

Well, the murder weapon
is rounded, made of wood

and about and inch and
a half inches in diameter.

And it's not a baseball bat.

It's a police
truncheon, isn't it?

Well, I presume you had
the same ones down here

we had back up there in
Glasgow before they brought in

the new ones with the handles?

Actually, a truncheon's
not a bad guess.

So it could be a policeman?

Well, we don't know
who was handling it.

How soon can they start digging
deeper into that basement?

They're still trying to
pump the water out,

it could be later
today, or tomorrow.

But in the meantime,
I've tracked down

that private detective
that ackroyd hired.

Okay, let's go and talk to him.

Can I have a word?

[Sasha] This is absurd!

I don't know what to believe.

But, you don't believe

that Gerry standing
beat up a witness?!

Where is Gerry?

At his daughter's,
looking after the baby.

I think we should bring
the others in on this.

You're not serious?

I find it difficult to believe

that Gerry standing
would attack a witness.

So this sainsbury
character is lying.

This sainsbury character

is a retired police officer,
Danny, with a spotless record.

That may just mean
he never got caught.

Absolutely, if ackroyd is
about to blow the whistle

on police corruption,
who's to say

that sainsbury wasn't gonna
be one of the officers named?

Actually, he
claims the opposite.

He says ackroyd was
going to name Gerry.

[Chuckles] This is ridiculous.

It might not be.

You asked me to follow Bryant
and McCabe the other night.

So I followed them around a
load of pubs and clubs and-

you said nothing happened.

They met up with Gerry.

I don't think it was arranged

and it certainly
didn't seem amicable.

What were they talking about?

I don't know, er,

I just caught the tail
end of the conversation,

but I heard Bryant
mention the name naylor.

As in Tommy naylor.

The gangster?

I went to visit him earlier,

he said he'd never heard of
Gerry. But I think he's lying.

You went to see Tommy naylor?

- Yeah.
- You didn't think

any of this was worth
mentioning, Steve?

Well, I just wanted to be
sure it meant something

- before I brought it out.
- Did I miss the meeting

where we changed how
police investigations work?

Was I off sick that
day, or something?

- Sasha.
- I'm your boss.

You tell me where you're going

and what you're
doing at all times.

This is about Gerry.

This is an ongoing investigation

into the murder
of a police officer.

We do not go off-piste
like this. Is that clear?

Yes, sure, yeah. Sorry.

While we're putting
our cards on the table-

oh, brilliant, what
have you done?!

Nothing, I think Gerry
recognised ackroyd's signet ring

when we first saw
it in the basement.

You think?!

He had an odd reaction to it.

On its own it's
nothing but stacked up

against this accusation
from sainsbury,

the fact that Gerry has
some sort of ongoing situation

with Bryant and McCabe
that he's keeping from us,

the possible involvement
with Tommy naylor

and the fact that Fiona thinks

that ackroyd may have been
killed by a police truncheon-

I'm sorry, what?

This just came out before
you arrived. Okay, wait.

This is Gerry standing
we're talking about.

Does any of this
seem remotely likely?

Sasha, none of us knew
Gerry standing 30 years ago.

Is it a huge stretch to
imagine that, as a young man,

he might have got
himself involved

in something
monumentally stupid?

This is really dangerous ground.

If anyone outside of
ucos gets even a whiff

that Gerry standing
might be compromised,

this case will be handed
off to another team,

a team who won't know
Gerry and will only look at this

apparently mounting
evidence against him.

Then we should talk to
Gerry, get his side of this.

Absolutely. Steve, ask Gerry
to come back in, will you?

If he's got
something to hide, sir,

he might not respond to that.

Then tell him
it's not a request!

The police want him to
help with their inquiries.

Hello, er, bill? Gerry standing.

Yeah, I'm all right, yeah. You?

Yeah, we all are,
mate, I'll tell you.

Listen, it's just a quick one.

Do you remember a team

that were looking into the
Chapman family back in '83?

Yeah, that's right,
sainsbury, yeah.

Yeah, I wondered if
you had any mates

that were on the team.

- [Phone buzzing]
- Hold on.

Sorry, another call.

Yeah, I don't suppose
you know anybody

who might have known anybody?

No. All right.

No, it's just a
one-off, don't worry.

Yeah, cheers, yeah. See
you soon, ta-ra. Come on, you.

- [Soft music]
- [Charlie gurgling]

[Dominic] Ds McCabe, ds
Bryant. Lovely to see you again.

Don't remember the
invite being a plus-one.

This is Gerry standing.

How do you do, Gerry?
Do you know who I am?

You're Dominic Chapman.

That's right.

Dad sends his apologies, said
there was something on telly.

Right.

Some little toerags
knocked over a jeweller's

in knightsbridge last week.

This establishment was
supposed to be under our protection.

The toerags in question have
been caught and dealt with

but the job was put
together by someone

who's becoming a bit
of a Thorn in our side.

Dad would like you to raid
this guy's establishment,

retrieve our belongings
and Nick the little bastard,

and should you decide to
bounce his head off the pavement

a few times on
the way to the Nick.

I don't think anyone
would be too upset.

Are we taking out
your rubbish now?

I think someone could
do with a few lessons

in not speaking when
he's being spoken to.

You're making the
world a safer place

and getting a few brownie points

from your bosses on
the bust, Mr. Standing.

Everyone's a winner.

- What's the name?
- Naylor, Tommy naylor.

[Charlie gurgling]

It's all right, it's okay.

Yeah.

It's one thing taking a
bung to look the other way,

but we're talking about
Chapman paying cops

to go and do his
dirty work for him.

Well, here. Did what you said.

That's all the money
they've given me.

Names, dates, places, the lot.

We need to take that
upstairs to sainsbury.

We need to think this through.

Bollocks, we've
gotta do something!

I'll take it upstairs meself.

To who? Who do
we trust up there?

You think Bryant and McCabe
are the most senior officers

on Chapman's payroll?

Then what?

I need to sound people out,

work out who's with
us and who's against us.

And in the meantime?

I don't know, Gerry. I'm sorry.

Just leave it with me.

[Shoes clacking]

Here we are.

Are you sure this is the place?

Well, what were you expecting?

A battered office door
with "r woolcott, investigator"

painted on the
louvre glass pane?

A sassy broad in reception?

[Doorbell rings]

[Door opens]

- Hello.
- Hi,

is Mr. Woolcott in, please?

I'm afraid he died.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's okay, it was
about 40 years ago.

Mr. R. Woolcott, he
was a private detective.

Mr. T. Woolcott, my father.

I'm Rachael woolcott, the
private detective as was.

Oh, I see. May we
come in, please?

Yeah, yes, of course.

Thank you.

Yes, I was only a private
detective for a couple of years

in the early '80s, then I
got into security systems,

you know, high-end stuff.
That's what pays the bills.

You had a client back then
in 1983, Martin ackroyd?

The policeman?

You've got a good memory.

Well, he didn't pay me. Those
are the ones you remember.

There's possibly
a reason for that.

He went missing a
week after he hired you.

We believe he was murdered.

Oh, dear. Oh, I am sorry.

What did he hire you to do?

[Sighs] It was a
divorce job, I think.

He wanted me to
follow his wife, take note

of everywhere she
went and take pictures.

Mostly my bread and butter
was serving legal papers

and looking at accounts,
so this was easily

the most exciting thing
I'd ever been offered

so I jumped at it.

Ackroyd's wife?

Died, 2007.

Was she having an affair?

Oh, yes.

Who with?

No idea.

I mean, I got
pictures of the guy

but the next step was to
show the pictures to the client

on the assumption
that he'd recognise him.

And you didn't get that far
because ackroyd disappeared?

Exactly.

I know this was 30
years ago and well

before digital photographs
and computerised records-

yes, I have everything.

I'm a hoarder,
fortunately for you.

Everything's in
boxes up in the attic.

Would you be able to-

what, make you some coffee

while you search
through it all? Certainly.

Hm!

[Soft music]

[Officer] Tonight's
the night, Gerald.

- What?
- The naylor raid.

Tommy naylor goes down tonight.

We'll get the
jewellery from his safe,

dust our knuckles a little bit,

then off down the
queen's head after,

so you should call
home and get a late pass.

[Phone ringing]

[Buttons clacking]

Dci ackroyd, please.

When's he back?

No, that's no good. I
need to speak to him today.

Have you got a number
for where he's staying?

No, I don't want to
speak to anyone else.

[Phone ringing]

Tommy, it's Gerry.

If anyone ever asks, this
conversation never happened.

[Shutter slums]

The safe, it's empty.

Where's Tommy naylor, hmm?

[Fist thhuds]

Well, a fat lot of
use you are then.

Find naylor, now!

No diamonds, no Tommy naylor.

We are deep in
the shit, gentlemen.

Well, I'll say
one thing for her,

these are marvellous boxes.

Glad you like them.

Ah, found the "a" s.

A-ha, ackroyd, here we are.

[Soft music]

Well, this is awkward.

Who was she shagging?

[Phone ringing]

[Muffled music]

[Gerald panting]

You've been a
naughty boy, Gerald.

[Gerald grunts]

[Fist thuds]

[Suspenseful music]

We've got some
problems, I understand.

A copper who doesn't
know who he's working for

and a friend who's got a
little bit too big for his boots.

Tommy, next time you
think you can have one

over on the Chapman
family, I suggest you take

a long look in the mirror.

[Tommy screaming]

Give him a kicking and
dump him somewhere.

[Tommy groaning]

I'm not allowed to kill
anyone at the moment,

dad says it's bad for business.

There's still fun
to be had, though.

Better not lay a finger on me.

Or what?

It's all documented.

Everything you've
paid to these two

in the last three months.

This is all about
to come crashing

down around your ears.

Anything you do to me now
is only gonna make it worse.

[Laughing] Is that right?

Do I look like I'm bluffing?

He's not bluffing, he's
just got this one all wrong.

[Fist thuds]

[Door clacks]

You're back! Listen,
I'm gonna take off.

[Chuckles] You know something?
We've had the best day.

Your Charlie's a
right little smasher.

[Laughs] Do you know
what he did? We were...

Caitlin, Caitlin, what's
the matter? Caitlin.

These two men...

[Gerry] What?

They said that you knew 'em.

They said that they
were gonna hurt us.

They said they were
gonna hurt the baby.

[Soft music]

[Caitlin sobbing]

Well, I've left
messages on his mobile,

but he's not picking up.

Yep, yeah, okay, yeah. I'll
go over to Caitlin's house.

[Sasha] Gerry's gone awol.

[Danny] Well, let's not
leap to any conclusions.

What's going on, Danny?

What on earth is
Gerry mixed up in here?

I don't know, but it
doesn't look good, does it?

[Soft music]

[Suspenseful music]

Oi, you wanna sort
this out? Come on, then.

[Door opens]

You threaten my daughter,
you threaten my grandson.

No idea what
you're talking about.

Oh, are you all
right there, Gerry?

We must stop meeting like this.

This man's threatening us.

Can't say I blame him, if
you pulled that little stunt

on a member of my
family, you'd be bouncing

off the front of
my car right now.

Now you're threatening us too.

Stay out of this, Steve.

No, no, these guys, Gerry.

You know, it's funny...

You look so much
bigger close-up.

- [Fist thuds]
- Oh!

[Man grunts]

[Gerry] Bit smaller
now, aren't you, eh?

Back inside or you're nicked!

See you soon, Gerald.

- I wouldn't advise that, pal.
- Back inside!

Gerry, come with us.

Bollocks!

- Steve.
- What? Gerry, look.

Look, this has got nothing
to do with either of you.

Yeah, actually it does,

you've got a lot of
questions to answer.

I'm going home.

No, Gerry, you're gonna
come back to the office with us.

Gerry, Gerry standing, i'm
arresting you for conspiracy

to murder detective chief
inspector Martin ackroyd.

You do not have to say anything

but it may harm your
defence if you do not mention

when questioned something
which you later rely on in court.

Gerry, what is it
you're not telling us?

The way the chapmans
see it, you're dangerous,

a problem they
need to take care of.

[Sasha] Gerry standing is clean.

Has he told you
about Tommy naylor?

[Gerry] How do
you know who I am?

You're famous.

What are you thinking?

Gerry's friendship with
the criminal element

is hardly a surprise to
anyone who knows him.

What did you do, Gerry?

That I can't tell you.

You threaten me,
you threaten my family

and you expect me to
stand still and take it?

Did you kill Martin ackroyd?

[Upbeat music]
