Original subtitles

We need to contain you in here for the moment.

- I want to know how Felix Gibson is. - She's stable, sir.

- Tell us anything more? - That's all we know, Doctor.

I'm going to leave you in here for the moment,

but you will be locked in.

- Why? - You are categorised as contaminated.

We won't let you out until we get the all-clear.

That's nice to know, isn't it?

What if we won't be?

- Yes? - Council.

- Mr Clifford Day? - Yeah.

DI Jordan, Cold Case squad.

I'm arresting you in connection with the murders

of Marcus Coulter and Jackie Holmes.

I just want to know how Felix Gibson is, please!

Deaf bastards.

You think they'd give you some incontinence pads with these,

wouldn't you?

- Does this look red to you? - No, it's fine.

Spence? Spence.

- Hello? - Can you hear me?

- Yeah, I'm bringing him home. - No, wait a minute... There's no point.

There's an explosion gone off in the squad room

and you can't get in or out of the building.

- What? - It was a package that was sent to you.

A package? In a brown envelope?

Spence?

- Spence? - What? What's happened?

I think I heard a gunshot.

Hello!

Come on! Come on, move!

Hello! Open up!

- I've got a car. - Where?

- Down there. - Come on, let's go.

Get up, let's get out of here. Come on, move! Move it!

Through the gates. Come on!

I'm bleeding. What have I done?

It's a silver car.

I can't breathe, I can't breathe.

Come on, hang in there. Hold on.

Oh, God.

In you get. Come on.

It just keeps ringing.

Sir, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to...

Listen, we've got an officer down. You've really got to get help.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Who's in charge here?

- Commander Drake is on his way down. - Drake?

- You say you have an officer in trouble? - Yes.

What about Felix Gibson? Felix Gibson.

We've been trying to find out what condition she's in

and I can't get anybody's attention here.

I believe she's hanging on, sir. I really don't know.

- Please, I need your phones. - Why do you need this?

Because they can be used as detonators without user knowledge or consent.

Oh!

- You're not having my phone. - Boyd!

You're certainly not having my phone.

I mean, she's got a phone, he's got a phone.

You're not having my phone until you get me a landline here.

I haven't been in contact with the outside world.

- All right! - Thank you, sir.

Okay, and don't you talk to me about my team, about keeping calm.

Yes. Why didn't you tell him about Spence?

What are the anti-terrorist operations doing here?

Well, it's probably something to do with the fact that a bomb's gone off.

No, I mean in the building. What are they doing in the building?

For God's sake, Boyd, stop being paranoid.

We're being followed. It's the black SUV.

This is Detective Superintendent Boyd, warrant number 176401.

I want to report an incident and require backup

for a police officer who's under attack.

Yes, shots have been fired and the officer is down.

Okay? It's at the residence of Clifford Day.

Hounslow, that's all I know. Well, you can check it out, can't you?

And this requires a tactical firearms unit, all right?

Yeah, but do not just send a patrol car.

If any of you experience any difficulty breathing

or notice any unusual markings on your skin,

please notify me immediately.

Thank you. 176401, yes.

Okay, you gonna tell me about Spence?

- You're gonna think I'm being paranoid. - Try me.

All right, listen, we got the anti-terrorist operations turn up, yeah?

Drake heads them.

18 years ago, Drake headed the Atomic Energy Constabulary.

He ran informants and agents. Clifford Day worked for him.

Clifford Day's blood turns up at Cherry Tree Farm.

McQueen worked for the AEC.

He was the arresting officer, he suddenly turns up.

I mean, they're all here, what do you think?

- You're not paranoid. - Thank you.

He's still behind us.

- The engine's going. - What?

Must have been hit.

Come on. Get up, get up.

- Come on, come on, let's go. - What you doing?

- Let's go. Come on. - Yeah, yeah.

Come on, get up. Get up.

Okay.

- Tom McQueen? - Yeah.

This is Detective Superintendent Boyd.

- Hello? - Yeah, I'm still here.

Oh, okay. Okay, look...

Spencer went to apprehend a suspect this afternoon,

and I'm afraid he's got himself into some trouble.

- What kind of trouble? - I don't know.

For reasons I can't go into right now, I'm not in a position to find out.

What's the address?

- Hurry up! - I can't.

I can't... I can't!

I can't walk. It's too painful.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on. In here.

Sergeant, has everything been recorded in here now? Right.

Can we move everybody on? Let's keep things moving.

- Commander Drake? - Yes.

- Lucy Johnson, Paramedic Silver. - Good morning.

How far have we got with diagnosing the chemical agent?

Samples from the contaminated book

haven't revealed any harmful bacteria, living or dead.

Ricin?

Ricin-binding antibody tests were negative.

We're testing for VX, phosgene, sarin.

And the air is safe to breathe?

The mobile team are testing five canisters for toxins,

- but that'll take time. - And the other officers?

Initial saliva and breath tests haven't given us anything.

Still waiting on tox screens on their blood,

but as we don't know what we're dealing with,

we can't go to meaningful...

Well, look, I need to conduct some interviews.

Is there any anywhere that hasn't been contaminated?

The laboratory has an airlock, air that hasn't been contaminated,

but, sir, I would urge you to stay out of the building

- until we have the all-clear. - Well, I haven't got time.

May I suggest you conduct your interviews over the phone?

No, I need to speak to these people face to face.

I think he's gone.

- Who's trying to kill you? - I don't know.

Bollocks. I could walk out of here right now.

Why don't you, then?

Because I want some answers. Lean forward.

- Get in touch with my lawyer. - Lean forward.

Quiet. I'm trying to save your life.

Okay, lean back, lean back.

This is about Cherry Tree Farm, isn't it?

- What? - Isn't it?

There's something I don't understand, Stella.

What?

You know you helped us with the hard drive?

Yeah.

After you left, we printed off the command history.

And?

Well, for... for someone who says they know a lot about computers,

you do realise you were going down the route to deletion?

- I... I was distracted. Boyd came in. - Yeah, sure.

I had to rush. I was going to...

There would actually have been on-screen warnings about this.

It just... It looks like you were trying to corrupt it.

That's not true. You got data from it.

It looks like, but you're not sure about?

- No, I'm sure, I'm sure. - Why would I destroy evidence?

Why would he make something like this up?

- Exactly. - I don't know. He's obviously confused.

- No, I'm not confused. - He doesn't sound confused.

He's gonna get into trouble

for bringing the hard drive from the Central Lab fire.

- So? - So maybe he's spreading blame.

How does him accusing you spread the blame out?

- Yeah. - I was trying to help, all right?

- Oh, so there's nothing in it? - Nothing.

Okay.

I'm Commander Drake. What's her condition?

We need to get her to a hospital as soon as possible.

Sir, there's a limit to what we can do.

No hospital's gonna take her

until we find out what she's been contaminated with.

You’ll just have to do the best you can.

- Any equipment you need, just ask. - Thank you, sir.

- Sir, you need to see this. - What is it?

This hard drive was illegally removed from the Central Lab crime scene.

- By who? - Dr Harry Barton.

He's in the interview room with the others.

- What are you doing? - Find a phone.

Get a move on. I'm dying here.

Any change in condition, let me know. Excuse me.

Can I take this off now, or do you want me to keep it on?

Yes, please, take it off.

- Commander Drake. - Peter Boyd. How is Felix?

- We're doing everything we can for her. - Meaning?

Meaning we don't know what she's been contaminated with.

Therefore, we just have to be patient.

I know how hard that can be.

Let's go in here.

- Stella. What Harry said... - No, it's not.

Okay.

Stop looking at me like that.

- Just need your scrawl on this. - I don't have my glasses with me.

Oh, in your own time.

It's just that eight years' jurisdiction does not extend beyond

the contaminated package and locating the people responsible.

I didn't imagine it would.

Well, you'll still have overall operational command.

But under the Prevention of Terrorism Act,

my authority supersedes yours if there's a conflict of interest.

To put it simply, Peter,

if this was my place, I, too, would be truly pissed off.

So, let's try to get along, eh? Catch the bastards responsible.

- Sounds like a plan. - Good.

Now, this package was addressed to Spencer Jordan.

Mm-hm.

- Where is he? - I don't know.

Is it normal for you not to know where your officers are?

It is if it's their birthday and they have the afternoon off.

Ah, birthdays!

Tell me, has...

has anything out of the ordinary happened in the last 24 hours?

You mean, apart from the chemical attack?

- Yes, apart from the chemical attack. - No.

That was a test of your cooperation, Peter.

I'm sorry to say you've failed.

- What the hell are you doing? - I'm looking for a phone.

- Well, let me save you the trouble... - No, no, listen.

I was a GPO engineer. I can fix things.

I have just placed Harry Barton in custody

for removing evidence from a crime scene.

Now, he tells me that somebody attempted an unauthorised entry

into your evidence room at three o'clock this morning.

Hm. That is right, yes.

And that the main suspect was Spencer Jordan,

as it was his access card.

Access cards can be faked or manipulated if you have an overriding code.

Is there any reason at all

why one should believe these implausible explanations?

Yes. I trust Spencer Jordan.

When even though you heard only two hours later

that another forensic lab was burnt down just 20 miles away?

Tell me, the evidence boxes, have they been tampered with, opened?

- Just the one. Cherry Tree Farm. - Cherry Tree Farm?

Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't Spencer Jordan

- the arresting officer in that case? - Mm-hm.

- Where is he now? - I've already told you, I...

- Stop covering up for him, Peter. - I'm not.

Honestly, I... I don't know.

- Okay, let me get a phone socket. - There's one there.

Okay.

Come on. Here, get in...

Get the top off that. You need the top off this.

- All right? - Hang in there.

Drag the top off.

We'll need the frame box over there.

- Okay. Okay. - I can't.

Come on, you can do it. You can do it.

Come on.

- Okay, okay. You all right? - Yeah, leave that there.

Now, the Book of Job, any thoughts?

I need your input in this.

Well, give me my freedom to manoeuvre, and access to my normal communication...

All right, yes, okay.

- You can have that. - Thank you.

And my officers want access to every case file

that Spencer Jordan has worked on the last two years.

- That's not a problem. - Well, that's good. Good.

Drake.

Oh, that's great. That's great, thank you.

Good news.

It appears that the substance used was essentially benign.

Benign?

I haven't been briefed entirely by my chem team,

but they assure me that they think Dr Gibson will pull through.

And will they tell Dr Foley and DS Goodman?

- As we speak. - Good, thank you.

So you are free to move around.

Only, I would ask that you and your team stay within the building

until we sort this mess out.

I mean, this could be part of something much bigger.

We don't know. Could be just a diversion.

- Safest place to be is here. - I understand.

We both know you should've called the cavalry about Spencer Jordan.

Hmm.

My guess is you wanted to have it out with him man to man.

Yeah, I am going to talk to him.

Can you give me assurance now of your full cooperation?

Of course.

Good news. The toxicity result has come through on the chemical agent

- and there's no present threat. - Oh, great.

What do you mean, exactly, "no present threat"?

I've no idea. Sorry. Commander Drake will fill you in later.

- We've organised some clothes for you. - Great. Thank you.

- Yeah? - Yeah, Boyd, it's McQueen.

So, what's happening?

Yeah, I'm at Clifford Day's block.

Along with half the police and paramedics in West London.

Yeah, I spoke to the neighbour, said there'd been a shooting.

Is Spencer involved?

Somebody was shot, that's all I know.

If I get any more, I'll call you on this number.

Yeah, please. Thanks.

Yeah.

Okay. Got it.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Is he gone?

Well, maybe he wants us to think he is.

- Let's get out of here. - No, not yet.

We gotta get out, man. I've had it. I need help.

You'll get help when we fix the phone, okay?

- Hi. - Hi.

- Any news of Spence? - No, he's not answering his mobile.

God. I'm sure he can look after himself.

They've been through everything in here.

I've got a report on Clifford Day. Want to hear it?

- Yeah, go on. - Okay.

Early '70s, telecommunications engineer with the GPO.

'77, accessory to murder, but case dismissed.

'79, conspiracy under the Data Protection Act,

bugging offices of the Anti-Nazi League.

And the arresting officer, CI William Drake.

That's great. We got a connection on court record.

Yes. Drake argued leniency.

"Was thought to have been manipulated by racists,

"keen to exploit his undoubted prowess in electronics and surveillance."

Well, we know from McQueen that Drake was into that, you know.

Yeah, but how do you go from surveillance

to double murder and mutilation?

I have no idea, but Drake must have used Day to run Penny Coulter.

Drake knows that if Day finds out that we're reopening the investigation,

he's gonna start bargaining, so he's gonna get ahold of Day

and get rid of him before he squeals.

So poor old Spence was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yeah.

All right. Put it in this end.

- This one? - Yeah.

Okay, okay.

- That's it. - Okay.

Try that.

- Anything? - Nothing.

Try again.

- Yeah. - Yeah?

Yeah.

Come on, come on. Come on, come on. Come on!

- Hello, Cold Case Unit. - DI Jordan, get Boyd now, quick!

Commander Drake, ATO.

- Sir, it's Spencer Jordan. - Spencer?

Sir, I have a serious problem.

I arrested a murder suspect in TW17, but was ambushed by a gunman.

We're holed up in an industrial estate, I don't know where.

All right, now, Spencer, look.

We're routing your call through the emergency service database.

It should throw us up an address any moment.

Sir, please hurry. The man is armed and my witness is seriously injured.

All right, now, hang in there, Spence. We're on it.

Okay, thank you.

- Right. Come on. - Okay.

Got a fix on their location.

Brady's warehouse, Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate, TW17.

Shall I transfer to emergency services?

No, no, no, there's a gunman. I want an ATO tactical squad.

- You want me to initiate that? - No, I'll do it.

You get into Spencer's PC. I want to see what case he's been working on.

Yes, sir.

Where are you?

I left the party before the police came.

Look, I told you, there aren't any police.

Jordan's call came through here to me.

Look, I'm sending the exact location. E-mailed to your PDA.

It's Brady's warehouse, ground floor, north side.

Now just get on with it.

No excuses. Call me when it's done.

You know, when I close my eyes at night,

I still see Jackie Holmes's face.

Me and my partner were the first to arrive on the scene.

I was a kid.

I wasn't ready for what I saw in there.

They found your DNA at Cherry Tree Farm.

Your blood was at Cherry Tree Farm.

Did you kill Jackie Holmes and Marcus Coulter?

No.

Christ, no.

So why was your blood at the scene?

There'd been a Shut Down Dunwell meeting.

And my lords and masters

wanted a recording of Marcus and Jackie's post-match analysis.

I taped the murders.

Toby Holmes making his wife beg for mercy.

But there was no warrant for the bugs, so I had to get them out of there

before the regular plod found them.

- So you went back? - Oh, yeah.

One of my devices was in the light fixture they'd strung her up to.

So I had to climb up there and remove it.

With that in me face.

I snagged my film on the wire that he'd tied her up with.

That's how my blood got there.

Where's the recording of the murders?

Handed it to my MI5 contact.

Is that what paid for your merchant banker's pad?

I earned my money more than any merchant banker.

We sent more criminals down in a year than you will in your whole career.

So, just you pay me some respect and get me out of here.

"We"?

What?

You said, "We sent down more criminals."

I had a mate. Got me in and out.

Took care of unexpected interruptions?

Why don't I hear any sirens?

No, no, no, no.

Let me get this straight.

Jackie and Marcus left the meeting early

because she was upset after her husband turned up.

You couldn't have planned for that. You weren't expecting that, were you?

I told you what happened.

I don't think you were taking bugs out. I think you were putting them in.

Jackie and Marcus turned up early and surprised you.

Your mate panicked and killed them.

That's what really happened, wasn't it? Wasn't it?

What's his name?

Forget it.

Do you want me to walk out of here?

Hmm?

'Cause if I do, you're a dead man.

Either that guy out there is gonna get you,

or you'll bleed to death.

Now, you tell me his name.

McQueen.

Yeah, Tom McQueen.

Your old partner.

He killed them.

Cut her face off.

Happy now?

You're saying that Tom killed them?

- That's what you're saying? - That's what I'm saying.

Why?

Where's the bloody ambulance?

Why?

You were right.

They came home early and caught us.

There was no way Tom was going to kiss his career good-bye.

- Jackie Holmes's face? - To frame the husband.

I'd heard he'd called her a slut.

Tom said it was too good an opportunity to pass up

and we should go back.

- Can I speak to you, Commander? - Yes, of course.

- This is all you, isn't it? - What do you mean?

Felix, Spencer, the fire at Central Lab, it's all you.

I don't give a toss about national security or my bloody career.

I care about Spencer getting shot,

I care about Felix being in an oxygen tent,

- and I helped make these things happen. - No, you didn't.

Harry Barton knows I was trying to corrupt the drive.

Harry Barton is in deep trouble. He's out of the frame.

- Felix will confirm it, anyway. - No, she won't.

There's no evidence. It's been seen to.

It is all you. It is all you.

You expect me to trust you, but you won't tell me anything.

How can I,

when the little you know causes you such problems?

Don't patronise me.

Difficult decisions have to be made, whatever the cost.

Don't give me that ends-justifies-the-means crap.

It's not crap.

It's an unpalatable truth, one I thought you grasped.

- Stella, my daughter... - I am not your Stella.

Not anymore.

I need you to keep your nerve, Stella.

If Boyd knew, he'd... About all this, he'd understand,

if I could just give him the full picture.

So why don't you?

- I'm going to report. - Fine.

So what's he gonna do when finds out he's got a spy in his own household?

Thank you, DC Goodman. That's very helpful.

Take it easy. It's going to take a while for you to recover.

Are you spying on me, Grace?

"Thanks for your help, DC Goodman."

How long have you known Drake?

I looked in your CV. You've never worked with him.

My father worked for him at East Docks Station.

See, I didn't even know your father was a police officer.

He was killed. The year I was born.

When he was called for a domestic disturbance.

And Drake?

Bill Drake was my legal guardian.

After my father died, my mother had no income.

Her English was terrible.

And Bill Drake came to our rescue.

He saw that we got something from every police charity,

and when we moved back to France,

he put down the deposit for our mortgage.

- And now? - When I moved back to England,

I lodged with him while I figured out what to do.

And did he help you there, as well?

My mother was so against me joining the police.

I'd never have had the guts to go through with it without his support.

So he's been like a second father to you.

I suppose so.

And now is he using that to his advantage?

Stella?

He told me it's in the public interest

that Clifford Day never steps inside a courtroom.

God.

- Did he say why? - No.

- But you went ahead and did it anyway. - I trusted him.

Explain that to Felix.

- I'm sorry. - You should be.

- Will you tell Boyd? - No. You will.

- How are you feeling? - I've got the mother of all hangovers.

So what have they told you?

Only the first test suggests that the package only contained

a fluorinated hydrocarbon agent.

Is that good, or...

Basically, just a turbocharged anaesthetic.

Looks like they just wanted to give Spencer a scare.

- Sir? - Yeah?

I said to Bill that we might be looking at Cherry Tree Farm.

He said the foreign blood wasn't the killer's,

but someone who'd done a lot of covert work for the police

and could I help him remove the evidence?

And that was enough for you to betray us?

I didn't see it like that then. I...

Bill said this man...

I don't want to talk about him. I want to talk about you.

I know.

I have no excuse but that I trusted him.

What, even when he asked you to destroy evidence?

Yes.

I had no reason not to believe him. He was like a father to me...

The history of what he was to you and what he did for your father

is irrelevant to me. All right?

You have every reason not to trust me and ask me to walk out the door but...

I don't want to give up working for you.

I'm sorry I let you down.

I hope you get the opportunity to say that to Spencer Jordan,

and that you don't become responsible for his death.

Come around here and pretend to look at the computer, come on.

- Does Drake know where Spencer is? - I don't know.

What's his relationship with Day,

apart from having arrested him 26 years ago?

- I don't know. - Well, we gotta find out.

- Are you prepared to help us? - Yes.

Sorry, sir, I need a login code for Spencer Jordan's PC.

Why?

He's the target of an attack, sir, we need to know why.

SWAT team should be there in a minute, sir.

Should be where?

When Jordan called in, we got a grid reference,

did Commander Drake not tell you?

Yeah, yeah, I just didn't realise they'd get there so fast, you know?

Where is it they're going?

Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate, sir. TW17.

Oh, right.

- There's nothing wrong with me. - I'm afraid that...

I need to go home. Just let me go home.

I need to go out. I need to get out of the building.

Excuse me, there is no chance...

I need to get out of here!

Okay, calm down.

- I've got to ring a friend. - Calm down.

- I just need to go... - Calm down.

No, I am calm.

Need your help.

Where is he?

Day's not by himself.

Spencer Jordan has gone to arrest him.

Now, I know you two go way back.

Just tell me where they are.

Brady's Warehouse. Jerwood Industrial Estate. TW17.

I'm sorry, sir. No one's allowed to leave yet.

You need to go back inside.

- Where were you going, Peter? - You promised to send out a SWAT team.

- It's been taken care of. - Then call for a status update.

If there's any news, they'll let me know.

You can't make this go away, you know.

Felix Gibson, the fire at Central Lab, Cherry Tree Farm.

- What's your point, Boyd? - Clifford Day was working for you.

You arrested him in the 1970s for illegal bugging.

- And? - We found his blood at Cherry Tree Farm.

I don't think that Toby Holmes killed Marcus Coulter or Jackie.

I think that Clifford Day did. But what I don't understand is

why you covered up for him.

You're nowhere near it, Boyd.

- Clifford Day never killed anyone. - But his blood was at the scene,

or are you telling me that he was never there?

Yes, he was there.

What, you've never requested a listening device?

A not-so-kosher listening device?

Now let me guess. You phone up Special Branch, ask for their help.

They say, "Well, let's see what we can do."

But who do you think they phone?

Did you really believe that a Special Branch officer with a career,

two children and a mortgage was gonna break into private property,

risk everything and plant an illegal bug

just to help you with your investigation?

So why are you trying to kill him now?

Because if he blabs, all the scum that he has helped put away

are going to walk.

Is that what you want?

It's not because he knows what happened at Cherry Tree Farm?

Because if he wasn't responsible for the deaths, who was?

Toby Holmes said he went to Cherry Tree Farm on the night of the murders

- around 11:30 and saw the bodies. - Right.

He insists that Jackie Holmes's face was intact.

Okay. I mean, there's no doubt that, you know, Jackie Holmes was killed

before her face was cut.

What about the difference in time between the two events?

Is it in the path report?

Not specifically, no. So I assumed it was seconds or minutes.

Oh.

But I can look at the stills in the report.

See if there's anything that supports the facial injuries

being significantly postmortem.

Thank you. That'd be great. Thanks.

You know how long it took me to become who I am?

The time it took for a jury to say "not guilty"

about a man I knew to be as guilty as sin, a dangerously evil man.

Well, God bless the liberal justice system.

How many times have you seen that, Boyd?

How many times have you had the desire to destroy them?

A desire so overwhelming that sometimes you think

you can be consumed by the fire of it?

Well, once was enough for me.

Let me tell you something.

There's no sensation like it,

when you look into the eyes of your enemy.

And you watch them realise that you will do anything.

You play by their rules.

You watch them slowly realise they're finished.

That's what I do. That's what I'm good at.

And now the front line's here. Our city.

It's all I have.

There's no wife, there's no rose-covered cottage.

What's your problem? You've been commended for it,

your record is exemplary.

Don't you play me, Boyd.

- I've sacrificed everything... - Oh, that's all right, then.

You try telling that to Jackie Holmes and Marcus Coulter.

They worked against the interests of this country.

It was my job to find out what they were doing, stop them.

What about the WPC who was killed in the Central Lab fire?

- An accident. - Collateral damage?

- Stuff happens. - Try explaining that to her son.

Now don't get sentimental, Boyd. If I break the bones of a terrorist,

and stop 50 people from being blown apart,

are you gonna sit there and tell me I'm wrong?

Or is it only wrong if the man turns out to be innocent?

Well, someone's gotta be there. Someone has gotta make that decision.

It's not about saving lives. We stand for something.

We have a moral, ethical position.

Was that truth, justice, rule of law?

Bollocks. We do the best we can.

Oh, so you send Toby Holmes to rot in jail for 18 years.

That's doing the best you can?

- I sleep at night. - The man was innocent!

And now he's in a hospital for the criminally insane.

And what have you done to Stella? She trusted you and you betrayed her.

- No, she has nothing to do with this. - She has everything to do with this!

- And she'll testify to that. - She will never testify.

Even if it means going to jail. Unless, of course, you kill her.

You could do that, couldn't you?

You promised her family that you would look after her.

Instead, you've put her through hell.

What would her father think now?

What would you say to him if he was here?

You've made her the guilty party. You corrupted her.

She broke the law for you.

And now she will suffer because of you.

What are you gonna do about that?

What can I do?

I promise that I will do everything in my power

to make sure that no action is taken against Stella.

If you promise to help me find Spencer Jordan.

I'm waiving security protocol for Detective Superintendent Boyd.

- He's now under my personal protection. - Sir.

Okay, as we know, Jackie Holmes had her neck broken like Marcus Coulter.

And the mutilation to her neck and face was posthumous.

Now, the original pathologist suggests it was minutes later.

- But I'm not so sure. - You mean, it could have been longer?

Yeah, there's a subtle sparring and mottling on her back.

What's sparring?

It's where the protruding parts of the body

are pressed up against a hard surface, like a floor,

and the blood is pushed out from under the skin,

creating the light patches.

So...

So, in order for this to happen,

the body would have had to have been lying there for at least two hours.

So Toby Holmes could be telling the truth?

Felix. Sorry...

No, come in.

I thought I was...

I thought I was doing the right thing.

I didn't want to... Sorry.

Trite as it sounds.

Yeah, you're right. It does sound trite.

Okay, so...

After the Shut Down Dunwell meeting,

Penny Coulter rings Clifford Day to give him a report.

Now, that would have included the highlight of the evening.

Toby Holmes calling his wife a slut and breaking his restraining...

- Oh, my God. - What?

My father.

Stella, I had no idea your father was the policeman

who was killed in the Mel Isaacs case.

You see, we've been using the case because of the similarity

from the facial injuries.

He also cut off his wife's face to make a point.

I'm sorry, we just didn't make the connection.

Isaacs was arrested on suspicion of your father's murder,

and the maiming of his wife.

He was interviewed by Detective Sergeant Tom McQueen.

Spence!

Spence!

It's Tom!

Spence!

Tom, what are you doing here?

Did Boyd call you?

Yeah, that's right. He said you were in trouble.

Am I glad to see you.

There's a gunman here somewhere.

No kidding.

You got a phone?

I've been shot.

No reception.

Check again.

Nope, not even a bar.

How could you do it?

- What, Jackie Holmes? - Yeah.

Clifford's been gassing, has he?

Thought he might.

She was dead. What difference did it make?

I needed some clever shrink to look at her and say,

"The husband did that."

Worked a treat.

I didn't really know you at all, did I?

Of course you did.

You just chose not to look.

You know I've got to do this, don't you?

McQueen, leave it.

Getting soft in your old age, eh, Bill?

- Put the gun down. - Day's told him everything.

Put it down, Tom. It's all over.

I'm not going down, Bill. Whatever happens, I'm not going down.

Now, come on, lad, give me the gun.

Don't call me "lad".

McQueen!

Hang in there, Spence. Yeah?

Hang in there.

You're okay. Hang in there.

Okay.

Okay.

Come on. Come on. Yes.

Hello, what service do you require?

I need an ambulance, now.
