Sorry to trouble you at home Ma'am, but
we've just picked up a bystander triple-9

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

Been looking for him for months.
We'll get this bastard, yeah?

Michael Farmer, I'm arresting
you on suspicion of abduction

and attempted murder.

Is this you, Michael?

The 24-year-old man has been charged.

There's a young boy might go to prison

because of a crime he didn't commit.

Huntley's definitely hiding something

about how the case against
Farmer was handled.

What, I don't know.

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

New gaffer's ready.

For those who don't know
me, I'm DCI Ian Buckells.

I'm now running Operation Trapdoor.

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

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

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

Don't leave before you
make an appointment.

You all right?

I need to go back to work.

What have you got against Michael Farmer,

except him being retarded
enough for you to frame?

Fingertips were amputated postmortem.

So we're surmising that Tim tried
to grab a handful of his assailant.

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

A trace of foreign DNA was found on
Leonie Collersdale's partial torso.

It matches to Tim Ifield.

Team briefing, one minute.

Team briefing.

Office or meeting room, boss?

Incident Room.

I've been thinking we should
appeal for more witnesses

in the Michael Farmer case.

As he's been charged,

perhaps they've decided it's
not necessary coming forward...

Um, sorry...?

Ah, Ian, join us. Joint team briefing.

Operation Trapdoor and
Tim Ifield's murder.

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

I've cleared this with Assistant
Chief Constable Hilton.

- Well, no-one said a word to me.
- Sorry.

Kate. I've promised ACC
Hilton complete discretion.

I don't want him being embarrassed

by any of this getting back to East Mids.

Op Trapdoor — although
Michael Farmer's been charged,

we're still dealing with
recent developments...

Just there, guys.

namely the finding of body parts

that have been matched to our
second victim, Leonie Collersdale.

I cannot emphasise confidentiality enough.

You are not to discuss
outside of this inquiry

that Leonie Collersdale's body parts
bore traces of Tim Ifield's DNA.

We've never found any
connection in the phone records

between Tim Ifield and Leonie Collersdale.

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

Maybe they were accomplices.

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

despite being charged with it.

Ian, there's mountains of evidence.

Ma'am, I've been running a check
on the tools found in the flat.

May I? Sorry.

No, please. Thank you, Jodie.

They appeared brand-new. The tools.

So I've been looking into recent
purchases in the local area...

and I found this on CCTV...

from the night of Tim's murder.

Sir.

God's sake, I'm busting.

Tie a knot in it.

What went on in there?

Since when's it my job to do yours?

If you put the report
on my desk, DS Flynn,

I'll be sure to take a look at it.

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

Yeah, well, this dick's no
grass for AC-12 — he's a DCI,

and I didn't get there
by sticking my neck out.

I got there by letting the other buggers.

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

Well, I wish I could shed more light,

but I'm a bit stuck at the moment.

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

No disrespect to Kate,
sir, it's no fault of hers,

but we can't sit on our hands.

Tim Ifield was police staff,
was implicated in a murder,

and got murdered himself.

Roz Huntley's reinstatement
puts her in the box seat

to manipulate the inquiry just
like she did with Michael Farmer.

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

My undercover's a much
more subtle approach, sir.

I've never disputed I'm
the blunt instrument.

But this is bigger now than
just being about Huntley.

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

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

Our informant has been killed.

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

Sir.

Opening a wider inquiry
will give us access

- to all the evidence Huntley's
team's been gathering. - Right.

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

- unless you've got more egg-sucking
tips for your granny? - Sir.

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

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

I'm opening a full-spectrum inquiry
into the murder of Timothy Ifield

and, as per protocol, there
will be no reciprocity

regarding DCI Huntley's investigation.

I also register that my considered counsel

in respect of DCI Roseanne
Huntley has been, er, disregarded.

Now I see why you're upping the ante.

- Challenge AC-12 at your peril.
- What?

You didn't reinstate Huntley
because you were worried

that Michael Farmer's defence
would make capital of the fact

that the Senior Investigating
Officer was replaced?

It was thanks to Roz Huntley's diligence

we detected Ifield's involvement
in one of the prostitute murders.

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

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

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

when we have access to all the evidence.

All.

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

Sorry.

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

Keep calm, everyone.

All officers go to your desks.

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

You'll each be obliged to surrender

all materials relating
to Operation Trapdoor

and the investigation into
the murder of Timothy Ifield.

Failure to comply will be a breach
of your duties and responsibilities

under Police Conduct Regulations
and may lead to a misconduct charge

under said regulations.

If you've got plans, cancel them.

This takes as long as it takes.

File keywords are Trapdoor and Ifield.

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

Thank you for your cooperation.

All relevant files are to be surrendered

for copying by AC-12 officers.

- T-10. Cheers.
- OK.

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

Right, you're all
familiar with this image.

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

CCTV vidcap of the car
park of a DIY superstore

at 19:33 on the 17th of March.

That's the night before Tim Ifield
sent his final text message.

Inside the store, 19:49 the same evening.

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

but he keeps his head down at all
times, he's put on a baseball cap.

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

Crime scene photograph
from Timothy Ifield's flat,

showing tools that resemble
those being purchased

on the evening of 17th of March.

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

So this is Tim Ifield's murderer?

Or... one detail from Tim's
postmortem that was overlooked —

I reckoned at the time it
was an incidental find —

is a number of dark wool fibres
were detected in Tim's hair and nose.

He was wearing the balaclava?

Unfortunately, none of
these items of clothing —

the balaclava, the jacket or gloves —

were found in the search of Tim's flat,

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

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

Well, his head's down in all the images,

so facial recognition software

hasn't been able to
provide us with a match,

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

So Balaclava Man could be Tim Ifield?

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

For the DIR, I am showing Michael Farmer

a photograph of Timothy Ifield.

Michael, do you recognise this gentleman?

For the DIR, the interviewee
is not responding.

Michael, are you sure?

Farmer denied any
connection with Tim Ifield.

Also we looked through all
of Farmer's phone records

and there's never been any
contact between the two of them.

Sorry, boss.

I was wondering — could there be
another explanation, a simpler one?

What could that be?

That Tim was framing Michael Farmer.

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

I just think it's a bit much to ask us

to discount the mass of
evidence against Michael Farmer.

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

There is one thing we can be sure of.

What's that, Neil?

Whoever killed Tim Ifield, it wasn't
Michael Farmer. He was in prison.

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

Absolutely.

Thanks, Neil, Jodie.

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

You need to get some kip, mate.

I could say the same.

If Tim's Balaclava Man,

why would he come to us saying
Michael Farmer's not guilty?

He wouldn't.

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

for the crimes he was committing.

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

More than that, he accused her

of deliberately protecting
the real offender.

What?

This CCTV gives us Tim's murder timeline.

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

The following morning
was when Hana Reznikova

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

Didn't you report Huntley
called in sick one morning?

- That no-one could get
hold of her? - Yeah.

That was the morning of the 18th.

The morning after the last
time Tim was seen alive.

It's a bit of a coincidence
Huntley goes AWOL

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

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

That his accusation that Huntley
was protecting the real offender

could still be true. That
Huntley's conduct was suspicious

around the time of Tim's murder.

- Look...

I don't know how it all fits.

But the timing does.

So maybe we should start
thinking the unthinkable.

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

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

Well, you're right about one thing.

That is the unthinkable.

This is starting to feel
like harassment, DS Arnott.

Harassment, anti-corruption
inquiry. To-may-to, to-mah-to.

PC Bindra.

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

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

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

They're at liberty to examine
it without authority.

Thank you, ma'am.

I've got nothing to hide.

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

a replacement device at your convenience.

Sorry, ma'am.

No. No problem, Farida.

Someone's come forward.

From the appeal you asked us to put out.

She didn't at the time cos she
didn't realise the significance.

She's got a story that fits
Michael Farmer's offences

for location and date.

Great.

Brilliant. Is Jodie still here?

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

It needs to be a female detective.

Sorry, ma'am.

Couldn't help overhearing
but I'm PIP level 2

and video interview trained,
re: vulnerable victims of crime.

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

Melanie, my name's Detective
Sergeant Kate Flynn.

I'm one of the detectives
looking into the attacks

on a number of local women.

Farida says you might
have some new information

that can help with our inquiries?

This happened a while ago.

That's OK. What happened?

I was walking home from
college through the estate.

What happened to you, Melanie?

A weird guy started talking to me.

Weird how?

He kept talking even
though I wasn't answering.

I just kept walking faster.

Then he grabbed hold of me.

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

But what else did he do to you?

He said I was pretty and
he wanted to kiss me,

wanted me to come back to his house.

What did you do?

I just ran as fast as I could.

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

Did he give a name?

I don't remember any name.

Why didn't you report this at the time?

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

I know this has been
really difficult for you.

You've been a big help.

What we need next from you is to
help identify who this man was.

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

We'd set up an identity parade where
we can show you video footage.

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

I'd have to go to court?

No. No way.

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

No, I'm not doing it. No way.

Listen. We'll start
with an identity parade.

I can't. No way. I can't.

It's all done by video. He can't see you.

I never would have come
in if anyone had told me.

He could do this to someone else.

We... we need your help.

I wasn't expecting all this.

Melanie, he's a very dangerous man.

He has to be stopped.

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

Please can you help us do that, Melanie?

Brave girl. Well done.

- Maneet.
- Sarge.

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

or any suspicious texts or e-mails
during the murder timeline.

All the calls from when she
left Polk Avenue Station

are from family members
in her contact list.

What about GPS data?

Unfortunately, the phone was switched off

for a large chunk of time.

But the last GPS location on
the 17th and first on the 18th

are DCI Huntley's home address,

consistent with her
story of being off sick.

Sorry, Sarge.

Every piece of evidence
that Roz Huntley's got

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

Every piece, no matter how small.

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

Hi, Melanie. This way, please.
Thanks for coming in again.

PC Nayar's going to take you through
the video identification process.

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

All the videos are pre-recorded

and none of the men are
in the police station.

They can't see you, can't hear you —

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

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

OK.

- Ready to start?
- Mm-hm.

Melanie, as we explained earlier,

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

it has to be an officer
unfamiliar with the suspect.

OK.

Each suspect is numbered and
you'll be shown each suspect twice.

At the end, I'll ask you if you can
make a positive identification.

Please, take a seat.

This one seems dead nervous.

Melanie was able to make a positive ID.

- That's brilliant, Melanie.
Well done. - Well done.

Ma'am. Melanie.

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

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

We protect life.

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

to positively identify you from the video.

Prior to the video identification,

you denied the witness's allegations.

I didn't mean to upset her.

You're now admitting the allegations?

Michael.

Sorry.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Will you tell her I'm sorry?

Yes, we can do that, Michael,

but first I need to ask you what
you intended to do to this woman.

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

I was lonely.

Following a conversation
with the Senior Prosecutor,

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

attempting to cause a person

to engage in sexual
activity without consent.

This charge will be included
in the charges against you

when you appear in court, namely
for the murder of Baswinder Kaur,

the murder of Leonie Collersdale,

the kidnapping and attempted
murder of Hana Reznikova.

Do you understand these
charges against you?

Please answer.

Yes.

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

I'd like some time alone with my client.

I think we need to discuss
the best way forward.

Yes, of course.

Michael.

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

We can try and fight them.

Or we can consider the best way

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

- For Christ's sake! - All right,
everybody. Look, just calm down, OK?

Steve, I get why you're pissed off,
but the ID process was by the book.

Witnesses are eager to please.

Non-verbal cues from the
officers involved led the witness

to identify Michael Farmer,
whether she recognised him or not.

Yeah, well, she did recognise him.

Throw an accusation at
someone like Michael,

the poor bastard starts
to believe he's guilty!

All right, you made your point.

We're supposed to be exonerating Farmer,

- not sending him down for longer!
- No, we're meant to be investigating

Roz Huntley, Operation Trapdoor
and the murder of Tim Ifield.

Huntley shut you out,

- so you played up to her to get
your undercover back. - What?

- That's not what happened at all!
- All right. Enough, the both of you.

Now look.

If there are concerns regarding the
accuracy of this identification —

legitimate concerns, Kate, I might
add — then we can take you out,

reveal you as an undercover officer

and we can make them repeat the ID parade.

Sir, what's happened's happened.

The fact is I've finally
gained Huntley's trust.

By colluding in the framing
of an innocent man!

DS Arnott, whether this
undercover continues or not

is a matter entirely between
DS Fleming and myself.

Therefore you are dismissed.

Sir.

Kate...

Sir, I don't know if Michael
Farmer's guilty or innocent —

none of us do.

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

and I've just had a massive breakthrough.

I was shut out and now I'm in.

All right.

- Very good. Carry on.
- Thank you, sir.

See ya.

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

I've got a tenner says within the week.

Ooh. Don't count your chickens.

- She's counting.

Hi. I hope you don't mind,
ma'am. I was on the e-mail.

You're very welcome. And
thanks for your contribution.

- Kate.
- Kate.

I'm glad I could help.

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

for how things started with us.

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

I'm not quite that delicate.

All right?

What have I missed?

Getting a round in.

Oh, great(!) Fancy another?

No, I'm driving.

Oh, shame.

I'll just get mine then.

Give us a shout if anyone wants one.

I would.

Now, Kate, could I ask you
a deeply personal question?

Do you like curry?

Yeah. Of course I like curry.

I'm going to book the Dilshad. Are you in?

Yeah. Definitely.

Unfortunately, this
means you're going back.

Sorry, ma'am?

Despite all the leads we've shared,

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

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

Yeah, but...

Enjoying the party?

How can I help you, DS Arnott?

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

You disclosed that to
Farmer's solicitor yet?

As you know, DS Arnott,

we're only obliged to carry out
full disclosure prior to the trial.

Meaning you're counting
on there not being one.

- What, are we doing the
defence's job now? - Kate.

No. Just your own.

Night, ma'am.

You sleeping well while an
innocent man rots in jail?

Wanker. Who does he think he is?

A tosser, that's who.

Night, Sarge.

All right?

All right.

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

Got your favourite, though — lamb madras.

I'll get the plates.

What's the state of Huntley's marriage?

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

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

morning of the 18th,
were from family members.

Her phone was off,

and they eventually came
through as voicemails.

On the 17th, there's a call
from the home landline at 18:06

to her mobile.

Only lasts a few seconds.
A misdial, maybe?

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

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

If she's telling the truth,

by then her family should've
known her whereabouts.

The phone's home. She isn't.

- Is everything OK?
- Oh...

I've just got to keep it
protected while it heals.

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

I saw the Italian's reopened.

- That's good.
- Yeah.

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

I'm working Friday.

I think Soph's got something Saturday.

Saturday, then — just me and you.

Sounds great.

Haven't been there for ages.

Sorry.

I'm shattered.

No, I'm sorry.

You've been under so
much pressure at work.

Do you want to talk about it?

Thanks. I just want to nod off.

OK.

Yes. DCI Buckells.

'Doors opening.'

Mr Arnold. Nick Huntley.

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

I'm fine, thank you.

Excuse the state, we're in
the process of moving floors.

No worries.

Right.

How can I help you?

Legal advice.

Well, you've come to the right place.

Suppose a man was found dead and
a suspect in the murder inquiry

deliberately left their phone
at home to avoid GPS tracking.

What would you advise the suspect?

We practise corporate law.

Hypothetically. What would
you advise the suspect?

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

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

DS Arnott.

Where was your wife on the
night of the 17th through to

the morning of the 18th of March?

- Erm...

Right.

Presumably you are aware
of the law regarding

the compellability of a spouse?

Normally the spouse is the
one corroborating the alibi,

- not undermining it.
- Right.

- I mean, you are disputing
your wife's alibi? - Wait. No...

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

recovering from illness.

Before I talk to you any more

I would like to have a chat with my wife.

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

"Mr Huntley unable to confirm wife's
whereabouts on the 17th/18th."

No, I didn't say that.

"Mr Huntley denies the above."

I need to talk to Roz.

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

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

This DS Arnold...

why is he asking these questions?

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

Well, he said somebody had died.

It didn't seem like routine.

It's my work, Nick.

So we're not discussing
it? Hm, since when?

There are certain sensitive
aspects of my work that are

inappropriate to share outside
the service communication loop.

You know that.

Well, it didn't stop him interviewing me.

They're anti-corruption. They make
a mountain out of every molehill.

Anti-corruption? What have you done?

Nothing.

Why, erm...

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

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

You were at work?

It was a specialist op, not
many people knew about it.

Well, it seems like no-one knew about it.

He had the impression
that you were at home ill.

Roz, were you with someone?

I love you and I've always trusted you,

but for the sake of our marriage

and for the sake of our kids...

I need the truth.

OK.

AC-12 are investigating one of my cases.

Looking for an angle to discredit me.

Internal politics, 100% total bollocks.

I'm sorry they involved you, but
that is their kind of mind game.

And the bastards get away with it

cos they claim they're enforcing
professional standards.

You still haven't answered my question.

I was working.

And there ends this crappy day.

I need a bath.

I love you.

'Steve.'

I'll call you back.

DS Steve Arnott, DC James Desford.

I'm putting you two together on
the Huntley inquiry. Is that OK?

Any questions? No. Good. Carry on.

Actually, it's Jamie, not James.

Great.

Well, it's good to be
working with you, Steve.

- All right to call you Steve?
- We'll see.

Hi.

Yeah.

- I thought me and Kate were doing fine, sir.
- Well, of course you are,

but there's just so much
more ground to cover now.

- And you know, the less Kate is
here, the safer it is for her. - Sir.

Besides, if you're going to step up,

I'm going to need you to
train up a new investigator.

I can't have one of my inspectors
gallivanting all over town

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

- Jamie.
- Hi. Maneet.

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

- My first day.
- Yeah, how you getting on?

Yeah, good.

So when's it due?

What? You're saying I look pregnant?

No, no, I was...

Of course I am. End of June.

Tim's downstairs neighbour, the
nurse, we ought to have another go

at finding out if she
saw anyone suspicious.

What's going on here?

Just getting on with
things while you were out.

Great.

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

convictions that hinged
on forensic evidence

where maybe the offender held a grudge.

- A violent offender, recently
released. - And? - Nothing. - Nothing.

Can you stop that?

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

and a lack of basic coppering.

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

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

Who was hanging around outside that flat?

Find him, and that's the whole case.

It's not bleeding rocket science.

Jez, how are you?

Hilarious, mate.

We already know who was there.

Who?

Hana Reznikova was the last
person known to have had contact

with the victim. We need
to talk to her again.

- Please, do it. - Ma'am. - Boss.

I'll make a note of that.

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

- the hours you work.
- Day off.

It's a good job you didn't
come in in your uniform.

All right.

You all right, Sarge.
Er, did you meet Gemma?

Tim's downstairs neighbour.

- Yeah. Hi, again. - Hi.
- You OK? - I'm fine.

Sir, we're just going over
some details now we've got

- a better handle on
Tim's timeline. - Right.

Polk Avenue interviewed Gemma
immediately after Tim's body

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

OK.

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

- the night of the 17th,
morning of the 18th. - OK.

We're hoping the fact we can be more
precise will help focus your memory.

Erm, the 17th I was on a late,

so I would have got home around
11, if we didn't go on somewhere.

- We do Malibu a couple of times a month.
- That's a cool club.

I got in around 11.

And when did you next leave your flat?

The next day I had a late,

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

Did you hear any kind of
disturbance that night?

No.

Right.

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

No, actually, I did go out,

but I came home first because I
forgot to bring a change of clothes.

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

but they normally send a text, so I
realised that it couldn't be mine.

Great. Great.

So you witnessed a cab
outside the flats around 11pm

- on the night of the 17th?
- I think it was a cab.

Can you describe the driver?

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

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

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

- Any time.
- Sure.

I'll show you out.

Just down there.

Maybe I'll see you in Malibu.

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

Cheers, Gemma.

Yeah.

The cab driver, he was white.
That's all I could tell.

I just didn't want to say it
in front of Jamie just in case

it sounded like I thought
all cabbies had to be black.

That's fine. Thank you.

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

Huntley's deliberately leading the
inquiry in the wrong direction.

If Tim Ifield isn't Balaclava Man,

there's another suspect,
and he's still out there.

So let's be the ones to find him.

Good.

Gemma said the driver was white.

I'll get Maneet to run cab companies
for bookings round that time

and rule out any ME-sounding names.

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

That's an interview technique. I'd
never mess about with a witness.

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

do you know what I mean? Cheers, Sarge.

Am I in trouble?

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

'This is a voluntary interview,
you're free to leave at any time.'

But I've told you everything I know.

'Since your previous interview,

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

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

showing a DIY store car park and
a figure wearing a balaclava.

Yes. He looks like the
man who attacked me.

According to your witness statement,

on the evening of the 9th of
March, you were set upon by

a man wearing a balaclava who forced
you into his vehicle and transported

you to an address on the Borogrove
Estate belonging to Michael Farmer.

Yes, Michael Farmer.

'We know this can't be Michael Farmer.'

He was in custody at the time.

We believe this must be Timothy Ifield.

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

showing the same man purchasing
a number of power tools.

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

Hana, we wonder if you have any
idea at all why Timothy Ifield

would be dressed exactly
as you've described the man

who abducted you five nights earlier?

I don't know.

'Tim Ifield was the Police Forensic
Coordinator present on the scene'

when you were rescued from
Michael Farmer's house.

You told us he came into
the cafe where you worked

and asked you to become his cleaner.

Are you certain you didn't recognise him?

I had never seen him before.

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

No alarm bells rang?

- No.
- "No."

Come on.

'When you do go into the flat,'

you get a weird text
telling you not to come in.

Still you don't think there's
something funny going on?

- No.
- "No."

I am telling the truth.

'Would you like to take a break, Hana?'

No, I'm not a criminal.

'No-one's saying you are, Hana.'

'A waitress doesn't earn very
much. Neither does a cleaner.

'You needed the job, so maybe
you set your suspicions aside?'

No.

- But you needed the job?
- Yes.

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

Not one call or text from
you to Timothy Ifield's

registered mobile phone after the 18th.

Why were you so happy
to lose his business?

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

I didn't know what was happening.

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

'Maybe that's when you recognised him?'

No.

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

'We don't mind.'

We're just confused.

For the DIR, DCI Huntley
has entered the room.

- Farida.
- Ma'am.

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

The interviewee does not
appear oppressed by my arrival.

- Hana?
- Yes, I'm fine.

Thank you, Hana. Let me explain.

Since we first interviewed you,

certain things have become
part of our working hypothesis

regarding how Timothy
Ifield met his death.

Forensic evidence very strongly
suggests he was wearing

a white forensic oversuit
at the time of his death.

Fibres in his hair and nose suggest
he'd been wearing a balaclava.

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

but also a set of kitchen knives.

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

if I were to encounter that situation.

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

Tim appeared as I've described.

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

This man clearly intended to assault her,

kill her, dismember her body.

If she put up a fight, she would
not have committed a crime.

This woman was already
traumatised by a recent abduction.

It was self-defence.

I didn't do what you say.

This woman was terrified.

If she confessed, would
a court believe her?

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

She could lose her job, her family.

She might be deported.

But she knows how to clean.

I didn't do it.

Help us to help you, Hana.

Let us search your home.

Let us rule you out as a suspect.

You want to search my flat?

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

- Anything they need to take away
will be returned to you. - No!

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

I haven't done anything wrong.

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

Jodie, Section 18. Do it.

DCI Huntley leaving the room.

Hana Reznikova, I am arresting
you in connection with the murder

of Timothy Ifield.

This arrest meets the
necessity test under Code G of

the Police and Criminal Evidence Act,

namely the prompt and effective
investigation of an offence,

permitting a lawful search of your
address as part of our inquiry.

Interview them, asked them what they saw.

One sec.

I'm just after some background
info on an item of evidence

from Tim Ifield's flat.

KRG-13. Forensic samples
were taken on the 23rd March.

Stored overnight and then sent
to the lab the following morning.

She went to the Forensic Office.

What's she up to?

I spoke to an FI after she'd gone.

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

You know what that is?

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

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

and then corrected it to KRG-13.

And what did they make of that?

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

Sounds like a slip of the pen.

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

Ambitious DS, that's all,

wants to impress her
gaffer back at East Mids.

- Not that there's anything
wrong with ambition. - No, ma'am.

We should do a drink soon.

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

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

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

- Kate.
- Ma'am?

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

I've been reviewing your secondment here.

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

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

Assuming that appeals?

Yeah, absolutely, ma'am. Thank you.

- It's great working with you.
- Likewise, ma'am.

- Night.
- Night.

The overwriting was noted at every
stage of the evidence being handled.

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

Still we should make a
confidential request to examine

the original samples ourselves.

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

Is something to throw in Huntley's face?

This isn't personal.

She's at the centre of everything.

I just want to get to the truth.

Me too, mate.

See you soon.

Kate, Roz is asking for you.

What's going on?

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

Item reference AS-9.

The search of your flat detected
banknotes in the sum of £5,900

concealed in a kitchen cupboard.

Item reference MHM-27.

Search of your household waste
detected multiple used condoms

containing semen from multiple males.

'How do you account for these findings?'

No comment.

'Items referenced JF-3 to JF-7.'

Examination of bed linen and bath
towels detected DNA from multiple

males one of which matched control
samples held in the police database,

said DNA belonged to Timothy Ifield.

What was Timothy Ifield
doing in your bed, Hana?

No comment.

Item reference AS-24.

The search detected an
unregistered mobile phone.

Unlocking of said phone provided a
call history containing four calls

between you and a number whose
user we've been unable to identify.

The first call occurring on the 16th March

and the last on the 18th March.

What was the nature of these calls?

No comment.

'Hana, we've got evidence strongly
suggesting that you've been

'engaging in sexual activity
for commercial gain.'

We've got calls on an unregistered
phone that presumably you used

'to arrange these encounters.

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

'presumably for sexual services.'

Now this unidentified unregistered
phone that you had calls with

on four occasions...

were these calls to
and from Timothy Ifield?

Hana, wake up.

We're carrying out an investigation
into an unsolved murder.

Now if you didn't kill Timothy Ifield,

telling us that this was a phone of
his that we know nothing about yet,

that would really help us.

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

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

It was Timothy's phone.

'Brilliant. Thank you.'

'But I wasn't harming anyone.'

You have ruined my life.

'No, we protect life.'

Great.

It's good work, guys.

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

True.

But he invited her back to his flat.

She hadn't been there before.

We know that because we
didn't detect any of her DNA

or fingerprints in his flat.

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

She killed him in self-defence.

We're a whisker away
from finding the evidence

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

The only hole is proving that
Michael Farmer and Tim Ifield

were accomplices and then we've
cracked the whole damn case.

Yes, ma'am.

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

Chances are we're going to open
up a whole new can of worms about

- what he was up to in the time
round his death. - Hopefully. - Yeah.

I'm afraid I've drawn a blank
on taxis picking up from

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

- Right.
- But...

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

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

I didn't spot a taxi, but I looked
for vehicles resembling a minicab.

And this dark Mercedes E-class
saloon passes through at 23:31

heading in the direction
away from Tim's flat.

And here it is earlier that evening
at 18.36 heading towards Tim's flat.

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

I've sent the images for enhancement.

I'll let you know the moment I hear back.

Cheers, Maneet. Well done.

Holding.

Anyone had further contact
from Huntley's husband?

Not that I know of.

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

'You've reached Nicholas Huntley
of Webber and Barratt Partners LLP.

'Please leave a message.'

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

You've excelled yourself, Roz.

Thank you, sir.

Trapdoor's been the
toughest months of my life.

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

You were a star in training college,
then you put your family first.

I'm only putting you back where
you belong. What are friends for?

Hm?

Thank you very much, sir.

Sorry.

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

He's gone to see Huntley's husband.

Anything I can do?

Image enhancement got a reg number
on the vehicle seen near Tim's flat.

I need to tell Steve right away.

Mr Huntley, DS Arnott, again.

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

on the matter we discussed.

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

called Jimmy Lakewell.

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

Mr Huntley, are you refusing to

'cooperate with a lawful
police investigation?'

'This is DS Arnott,
please leave a message.'

Sarge, we got a reg on the car.

It belongs to a Nicholas
Huntley — Roz's husband.

Maneet, just call him again.

'This is DS Arnott,
please leave a message.'

I'm outside your office.

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

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

we've got strong circumstantial
evidence your wife wasn't at home

- 'as she claims.'
- Erm, I've got no comment to make.

I'm giving you the opportunity
to say something now before this

gets extremely serious
not just for your wife,

'but for you too, sir.'

Steve, we need you to call in.

Nick Huntley could be dangerous, OK.

Nick Huntley could be dangerous. Call in.

Please, you should talk to my solicitor.

I'm going up to the 5th floor.

'L-A-K-E-W-E-L-L.'

Where did she claim she was that night?

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

asking permission to order a takeaway.

If they're calling her, where were you?

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

'Mr Huntley?'

Think about your answer.

You've got one minute. I'm on my way up.

'Doors closing.

'You have five new messages. Message one.'

'Sarge, we got a reg on the car.

It belongs to a Nicholas Huntley.

'Doors opening.

'Doors closing.
