So many years I wondered

what I'd do if I ever saw him again.

And then I did. In a photo, in a briefing room.

And I was being sent to meet him with a gun.

When this is all done, Steve, I'll suffer for my actions.

I'm under no illusions of a happy ending.

Shot fired!

What's he saying?

- What did he say? - I'm not sure what he meant.

Myjob is to find any and all evidence.

And what was found in the case?

A large number of banknotes.

How did Detective Sergeant Arnott react?

He didn't bat an eye.

I don't think we should close

the investigation into Waldron's background.

I'd like to keep digging.

Evidence of prolonged torture. Cause of death isn't clear.

Cutting his head off can't have helped.

This photograph shows Danny Waldron as a teenager.

This man's a young Ronan Murphy, the suspect shot by Waldron.

What? They knew each other?

And he bears a strong resemblance

to Linus Murphy's severed head. Danny knew him too.

No prior information of the operation to move Tommy Hunter.

I had no prior knowledge.

No prior knowledge at all.

Kate knows about me and Jackie and Danny.

I have to come clean. The longer I leave it, the worse it looks.

It is with deep regret that I inform you all

of the death of PC Rod Kennedy.

Rod's body was found hanged at an industrial unit.

We need to talk.

You are now declaring...

that PC Rod Kennedy killed Sergeant Daniel Waldron?

- Yes, sir. - Rod killed Danny.

Look, I'm sorry about this.

It's just I've got no-one else to talk to right now.

It's fine.

Look, mate, I don't think I can keep going into the station.

All the stuff that's going on behind our backs,

all the stuff that's going on to our faces.

Well, Rod was a good bloke, wasn't he?

People can't get their heads round it.

Yeah. I can see why.

Jackie, don't do this to yourself.

My hands were on that gun and I felt Rod force the trigger.

He killed Danny.

It was right to stick together when he was here,

but now he's gone... we've got to move on.

Aw, come here.

Superintendent Hastings.

Hi. Sorry to bother you, sir.

I just followed Jackie Brickford to a meeting with Hari Bains.

He seems pretty bloody shifty to me.

Dot. Just so you know,

I've authorised Kate to adopt direct surveillance on Bains.

- Nice one, gaffer. - And I want Steve in on it too.

- Absolutely. - Steve...

Get yourself over to South Ferry when Hari Bains comes on shift.

- Be visible. - Sir.

- Come in. - Inspector McAndrew.

- DS Arnott, AC-12. - What do you want?

In an interview you gave at AC-12,

you told us that Hari Bains had a good working relationship

- with Danny Waldron. - Er, yeah. So?

Hari never made any complaints about Danny?

- If anything, the opposite. - How so, ma'am?

I was due to rotate Hari from Danny's squad,

but Hari said he respected Danny's professionalism

- and wanted to ride with him. - Really? When did he say this?

A couple of days before the Abbotts Lane op.

A couple of days before the op that got Danny killed?

I was all set to disband Danny's team after Murphy's shooting.

And there is no way you're gonna pin some blame on me

just because you need to find a scapegoat.

Thank you, ma'am. You've been very helpful.

- AC-12. - DC Fleming.

Put me through to Telecommunications, please.

- Telecoms. - DC Fleming.

I need an ID on the last number dialled from a pay phone

on the corner of Calman Road and Turner Road.

Stand by.

The number you have called is not recognised.

Please check the number.

The number you have called is...

Kate reports Bains attempting to make a call to this number.

It relates to an unregistered pay-as-you-go mobile.

The call couldn't be connected

because either the phone or the SIM card was out of service.

Maneet's liaising with the network provider

for information about the number.

Great.

Tell Kate I want her on Hari Bains round the clock.

Yeah. Will do, gaffer.

- Hello? - What are you doing

making a call from a public box?

That's why we send unregistered mobiles!

The text came through to my own phone, so...

We had to get a message to you urgently. You weren't answering.

You're being watched by AC-12.

- I didn't see anyone. - What did the text say?

- "Sit tight. Act normal." - So how is this acting normal?

Dickhead.

- All right? - All right?

Look. For my two-pen'th,

We're flogging a dead horse with Bains and Brickford.

Rod Kennedy killed Danny Waldron,

couldn't handle the guilt, topped himself.

Maybe it wasn't suicide.

We ought to request a second postmortem on Kennedy's body.

The first one only looked for cause of death.

We should get a pathologist looking for evidence of crime.

Sure. Leave that with me.

Cheers.

Do you like chilli? The food, not the country.

I've got a pot... on the simmer.

You've probably eaten.

- No, I haven't, actually. - Well...

Yeah.

- Not too fiery? - I'll cope.

If you go to the trouble of making a pot,

you might as well make it last a few days.

One night you can have it with rice,

one night baked potato...

It's rock'n'roll, me.

Well, I'm not complaining.

When I knock off, the only thing open's a dodgy kebab.

That's undercover, isn't it? Stupid hours.

Well, Mark works in IT.

He did a lot from home, which was great for childcare.

Just not so great for us.

- You still see the kid, though? - Yeah.

Sorry, I shouldn't poke my nose in.

No, it's fine. It was the right decision,

you know - give him security and stability.

Just not such a great decision for me, to be honest.

See, me and my missus, we never got round to having kids.

- Was she a copper too? - Forensics.

- I don't see much of her now. - No?

I was on the piss most nights. Couldn't pass a bookie's.

Final straw was, we put down half on a fortnight in Majorca.

- Oh, don't tell me. - Yeah, five-to-one.

Dead cert.

I couldn't go home to face the music, so...

I took out a loan,

put a grand down on the last race of the day,

try and win it all back.

Barrel of laughs, me!

- Can I have your bowl? - Cheers.

There's seconds here if you fancy.

Any more and I won't get off this sofa.

- Yeah. - I've got something for you.

On that photo found at Danny's.

Yeah. Sure.

It's from a boys' home called Sands View.

Danny Waldron's mum died when he was 11.

He went to live with his dad and stepmum,

but that didn't work out and he got taken into care.

Danny was at Sands View from the age of 13 until he was 17.

I keep going through the file.

There's no link to Ronan Murphy

while Danny was a police officer.

The only link must be this boys' home.

I can't get hold of any records for that period.

One department told me they were lost in a fire.

Another told me they went missing during a move.

You think lost on purpose?

Who knows? The lads were chucked out at 17

and pretty much left to fend for themselves, with no follow-up.

However, I've cross-checked with individuals in the system,

and I've got a name for you. Same age as Danny,

so chances are they were there at the same time.

Good work.

Joe, someone here to talk to you.

- Joseph Nash? - Yeah.

Can I talk to you somewhere quieter, please?

Yeah.

I'd like to show you a photograph, if that's all right?

It's a photocopy of an original image

believed to be approximately 15 to 20 years old.

- Do you recognise the image? - Yeah.

- Do you recall the location? - Yes.

Mr Nash, you're not in any trouble.

- How did you find out my name? - I'm not gonna lie.

You committed a number of minor offences.

I was just a kid back then.

I've put my life back together now.

The convictions are spent.

Your record cross-checked with an inquiry I'm involved with.

An inquiry into Sands View?

Connected to Sands View.

Do you recognise this individual?

- Yes. Danny. - Danny Waldron?

Yeah.

Do you recognise this individual?

Yes.

What do you remember about that person?

He took us for football on a Tuesday afternoon.

- He was one of the staff? - No. Just took us for footie.

What else do you recall about him?

You're being a big help, Joe.

Is it OK if I ask you about one more person?

This man here. Him.

Who is he?

Mr Murphy. He was the caretaker.

The other man - the football coach -

was his name Murphy too?

Might have been.

- They was a pair. - A pair?

The older one, the caretaker, he had the keys.

For the dormitories.

Changing rooms. The basement.

But him, the younger one,

he was in on it too.

With the others.

What others?

Not in the photo.

Visitors.

We got told they were very important people

and we had to do exactly... what they said.

Did you ever get the names of any of these people?

No. No-one ever got any names.

And even if we did, it was just... Mr Smith.

What happened with these visitors?

Well, sometimes they'd...

They'd come to the home and we'd be told it was like...

a private interview.

"Mr Smith can be a big help to you when you move on."

You know.

And then you'd go to a room with Mr Smith.

Or a few of you would.

With a few of them.

The abuse always took place within Sands View?

No, not always. There was...

Sometimes there'd be a car or a minibus

and they'd take us to a hotel or a guesthouse

or some big...

..some big private home. You know?

But the parties...

The parties, they were the worst.

Parties?

There'd be a few of them, these VIPs...

And we'd be farmed out.

Do you recall any details in terms of names,

addresses or the people who drove you?

This was a long time ago, all right, mate?

And I wish I could remember that information and forget the rest.

But... it's the opposite.

I know this is hard, Joe.

But is there anything you can tell me about them

that might help identify them?

Yeah, there's one of them stands out.

He's...

He's a big...

big fat whale of a fella.

He always wore a suit.

And when he took the suit jacket off,

he always had these, these... these sweat patches

and he stank of it.

And when I got told he'd asked for me again, I'd...

I'd throw up, you know. I'd... I'd be sick.

Is Danny the one?

- The one? - Yeah.

He's got people listening to us at last.

Yeah. Yeah, he is.

- Arnott. - Any report on the second PM?

What second PM?

Dot said he'd organise a second postmortem

on Rod Kennedy.

First I've heard of it. Leave it with me.

OK. I'll head back to South Ferry.

Right. I'll tell her.

Francis, that was your rep.

AC-12 want you in for interview straightaway.

- She doesn't know anything. - She never believed us.

Jackie. She weren't in the room when Danny was shot.

But he whispered something to her as he was dying.

Yeah. And if he'd managed to tell her the truth,

do you think she would have kept quiet this whole time?

No.

Trust me. She don't know anything.

Yeah?

All right, mate.

I've continued to search records relating to Sands View.

Joseph Nash claims a number of his abusers were VIPs,

all of whom used the same alias - Mr Smith.

Hence Nash wasn't able to give us any names.

But he did claim one of these abusers was extremely obese.

Sports Day at Sands View.

- Who is he? - Dale Roach,

leader of the city council during the period

Danny Waldron and Joe Nash were residents at Sands View.

Is this the man, Joe?

Yeah, that's him.

Thank you.

Now, it would help if you could come to my department

and look through some images of other individuals...

Joe, I came from a loving family.

I had a nice childhood and I can't begin to imagine

- what yours was like. - 20 years...

- ..it's took you to come. - I want to help.

20 years... I've had that monster in my head.

The sounds he made. The smell of him.

And the things that he did to us at Sands View...

No copper ever gave a toss.

So offences committed at Sands View

were reported to police, and no action was taken?

We told teachers,

we told social workers and, yeah, we told coppers.

And then we learned not to.

Danny Waldron's dead, Joe.

He was killed going after the people who did this to you.

Danny's mission is now my mission.

And I promise you I will get these bastards.

Daddy, Daddy!

Hey! Hello, you!

- Is that for me? - Mm-hm.

Thank you very much.

I will always, always love you, OK?

Mm-hm.

Come here.

- How long has he been here? - I'd have to check.

Two or three years at least.

- Any family? - No family, no visitors.

Mr Roach?

Mr Roach?

- Can he hear me? - He doesn't understand much.

- Can't talk. - What's wrong with him?

Massive stroke.

Sorry, do you need me to stay?

No. Thank you.

Call if you need me.

Mr Roach, do you recognise the name Sands View Boys' Home?

Mr Roach.

I'm Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott.

I'm investigating claims relating to Sands View.

Do you understand me?

I know what you did to those boys.

Danny Waldron recognised Ronan Murphy

as a sports volunteer at Sands View Boys' Home.

Somehow, from Ronan, he was able to track down Linus Murphy.

Linus was the caretaker at Sands View who used his position

to include Ronan, his nephew, in his activities.

Now a witness has given us another name - Dale Roach.

Councillor Dale Roach.

Unfortunately Roach isn't fit to stand trial.

I think Danny Waldron purposely created a trail of evidence

that led us to connect him to Linus Murphy's murder.

Now we're on the trail of the other abusers.

There's only one thing we're interested in here, son,

and one thing only.

And that's bent coppers.

The boys made complaints, some allegedly to police officers.

Thank you, Steve.

Sir.

- Hi. - Kate?

Come in.

Something wrong?

You didn't come back to the station.

By the time I was done with AC-12, my shift was over.

So what's going on?

They just wanted to go over the details of the day Danny died,

times, places...

You know what they're like, fishing for inconsistencies,

anything they can pounce on.

- And did they? - Did they what?

Pounce?

- We shouldn't talk about this. - What did you tell them?

We can't do this. You should leave.

I need to know!

You keep asking me to leave you alone.

Congratulations. You're on your own.

- What do they know, Kate? - You should go.

What do they know?

They're onto the pair of you.

What about us?

They know Hari stopped McAndrew from disbanding Danny's squad.

What?

I never knew anything about that!

They know about the phone calls.

- What phone calls? - Right, "What phone calls?"

- Bye, Jackie. - What phone calls, Kate?

They've got Hari making calls from a phone box

to an unregistered pay-as-you-go number.

They know it must be a phone you're using covertly.

You two are in collusion and developing your strategy

using untraceable phone calls.

It's not me he's been calling!

Stay here. I'll get it.

So, what's up, then?

- Who have you been calling? - What?

AC-12 know about your dodgy calls. They think I'm in on it!

All this time, we trusted you. It was just the three of us!

Rod's dead, and that still isn't the end!

Jackie, what...

Who have you been making those calls to?

- What aren't you telling me? - I haven't been making calls!

It's just me and you. As long as we stick together...

Jackie, I've been telling you the truth!

Yeah, I'm sorry. I know it's late.

I need to go in and see AC-12.

And I'm gonna need a solicitor.

Stand away from the door.

Ms Denton, you remain under oath.

Thank you, My Lady.

Ms Denton,

in your examination-in-chief by your own counsel,

you made a number of references to an undercover operation

conducted by Detective Sergeant Arnott

- of Anticorruption Unit 12? - Yes, I did.

Did any of these operations involve DS Arnott

- being present at your home? - Some did.

You were alone with DS Arnott?

Sometimes.

And there were never other police officers in the vicinity?

There was a constable stationed outside the house.

- Where outside? - On the doorstep.

And where did sexual relations take place?

In the bedroom.

And how was the bedroom accessed?

Via the stairs.

And how far do the stairs lie from the front door?

I don't know. Three or four metres from the front door.

From the plans of your home obtained by the prosecution,

the distance is... 2.7 metres.

- If you say so. - I don't say so. It's a fact.

And if I'm inaccurate, I'll be corrected.

There are written statements by all the officers

stationed outside the door in early October,

and not one recalls hearing

you and DS Arnott go upstairs together.

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

It doesn't surprise you that trained police officers,

on guard duty, in a high state of vigilance,

don't hear the two of you go upstairs for sex

when he or she is less than three metres away?

We were discreet.

Hm.

You've told the jury

that this intimacy with DS Arnott won your trust,

and therefore you permitted him

unsupervised access to your home.

There were times when I was napping, or in the shower,

and he was free to roam the premises.

I trusted him completely.

And you've alleged that on one of these occasions

Detective Sergeant Arnott planted a sum of money

in your late mother's overnight case.

Did you witness DS Arnott

bringing the £50,000 into your home?

- No. - Did you ever witness him

having access to tens of thousands of pounds in cash?

He'd hardly do it openly.

Corrupt officers have access to criminal contacts.

Please answer the question you've been asked.

Did you ever witness Detective Sergeant Arnott

with such an enormous sum of cash?

I don't know how Steve Arnott got hold of the money

- and then got it into my house. - You've answered.

I'm still answering. If I'm inaccurate, I'll be corrected.

The nerve of that one.

Steve Arnott had my complete trust

and the trust of the officers on guard duty.

He could easily have picked his moment to plant the money,

and I firmly believe that that is the best explanation

for how it came to be there,

because I had never seen that money before.

Were you aware that you were under investigation by AC-12?

Yes, I was.

And were you co-operating?

Yes, I was.

You were being completely honest

in assisting them with their inquiries?

- Yes, I was. - Had you always been honest

with Anticorruption Unit 12?

Please answer, Ms Denton.

It was a complex case

and there were many details that were elusive

and at times required further thought and examination

before I could give a definitive answer.

Did you lie in relation to matters

surrounding the conspiracy to murder Tommy Hunter?

Ms Denton...

As I said, it was a complex case

and many details were difficult to define or recollect.

Did you lie about having prior knowledge of Hunter?

No.

You lied about having prior knowledge of Hunter, didn't you?

- No. - You told the investigators

lie after lie to confound them

and to pervert the course of justice.

- It wasn't like that. - It was like that.

You wove a web of deceit to confound the investigators

and to protect yourself.

And you've the effrontery to attempt to deceive this jury!

- No! - Did you fabricate

the improper relations between you and DS Arnott?

No.

- The planting of evidence? - No.

Lindsay Denton, aren't you an artful, devious person

who has betrayed the trust placed in her?

- No! - Haven't you repeatedly

connived to obstruct those who would bring you to justice?

No, I haven't!

Watching that circus really turned my stomach.

Listen, I owe you an apology for the other night.

Your... dinner invitation.

- You're a married man. - This is it.

But here we are, two colleagues having a drink

and the sky hasn't fallen in yet.

Yeah...

Yeah.

This is a voluntary interview by authorised firearms officer

Victor Charlie 53

in the presence of her Police Federation representative

and solicitor, by Superintendent Hastings and DS Arnott.

I want to cooperate.

I want to go on record that I have never at any time engaged

with any other officer in covert telecommunications

to knowingly mislead lawful inquiries.

Glad to hear it.

I also want to clarify... some details...

..previous statements made

regarding the death of Sergeant Daniel Waldron.

Very good. Carry on.

I never saw the exact moment the struggle started...

..the struggle for the gun that killed Daniel Waldron.

Neither did Rod.

We had to rely on what Hari... on what Five Four told us.

He said that Danny had entered the room with his firearm drawn

and that he turned the gun on Five Four.

So you're saying Danny tried to kill Five Four?

I'm saying that's only what Five Four told us.

He said that Danny turned the gun on him.

Five Four made a grab for the firearm

to stop Danny from shooting him.

There was a struggle for the gun.

Rod and I joined in that struggle.

The gun went off and killed Danny.

Hang on a second.

This is going way beyond clarifying a statement.

You are changing your story all over again here.

This is the truth, sir.

Well, you need to take a deep breath...

..and we need to caution you.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence

if you fail to mention, when questioned,

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence. Do you understand?

I understand.

So now you're saying that Danny wasn't trying to kill himself.

He was trying to kill Victor Charlie Five Four,

- or so Five Four claimed. - Yes, sir.

- That seemed plausible. - Why?

Danny was bullying us into covering for him

after he shot a suspect.

He moved the suspect's firearm...

..and discharged the weapon, narrowly missing Five Four.

You conspired with Daniel Waldron

to provide false statements regarding the shooting?

Yes, sir.

We were all really scared of Danny.

A part of him was capable of doing anything.

- So you killed him? - No.

It seemed like an accident.

Five Four convinced me and Rod

that if we said we'd killed Danny in self-defence,

that the least we'd get would be manslaughter.

He told us to claim that we were trying to save Danny.

And that way nobody could blame us for his death.

But instead of telling the truth, the three of you went off

and concocted a whole new version of events.

And then you decided to blame Rod Kennedy for Danny's death.

I knew Rod was jealous of Danny.

It seemed plausible that he could have been the one.

You don't believe that any more?

No, sir.

Five Four initiated the struggle with that gun...

..and it's only his word for it that it was self-defence.

I just don't believe him any more.

I can't cover for Five Four any longer.

He convinced me to blame Rod,

but I'm not sure Rod could have killed Danny.

He wasn't that sort of man.

I betrayed him.

Constable, you have my sincere condolences...

..for the deaths of your colleagues.

However, we have a job to do,

and that job requires us to investigate thoroughly

and impartially the murder of one of our own.

And whilst we appreciate your cooperation here today,

you have knowingly misled this inquiry for weeks

on matters of the utmost gravity.

Firstly, in respect of the shooting dead of a suspect.

Secondly, in respect of the loss of life of an officer

in the line of duty,

the withholding of crucial information,

the blatant disregard from your lawful duty as a police officer

to comply with a criminal investigation.

Therefore I am submitting to the Police Board

that you be served with a red notice,

which is the termination of your contract as a police officer,

and moreover I will report to the Crown Prosecutor

regarding perverting the course of justice

and assisting an offender.

You won't be charged at this time.

However, pending discussions,

you may be charged with these offences.

But I thought if I cooperated that you'd go easier on me.

A suspension. A yellow notice.

A fellow officer has been killed.

There is no more serious offence that we investigate.

Now, you may think I'm harsh, Constable...

..but I know that this is justice.

All rise.

Foreman of the jury, please stand.

Have you reached a verdict upon which you are all agreed?

No, we have not.

In these circumstances,

I am willing to accept a majority verdict

upon which ten or more of you agree.

Yes, My Lady.

All rise.

Pick. A or B?

A.

The report from the second PM on PC Kennedy.

Yeah.

Boss, I thought this shouldn't wait.

Yeah. Come on.

Something I should know about?

Yeah. Why not bring the whole office with you?

I'm sorry, sir.

The pathologist revised the findings on Kennedy's PM.

You mean she's admitted they screwed up on the first one?

The findings are subtle. There's a superficial head injury.

The bruising was hidden at the back of the head,

and minor defensive wounds on the hands, again very subtle.

No organic material recovered from under the fingernails.

- None of this is very strong. - I went back over the forensics

and foreign fibres were on his clothes.

Again, not strong.

Same fibres were found in Kennedy's nose and mouth

- at the second PM. - Right.

Best guess, someone smothered him

then hanged him while he was unconscious.

Well, if Bains killed Danny,

I'd lay you evens he killed Kennedy as well.

Maneet just showed me this.

Traffic camera vid caps from the night of Rod Kennedy's death.

This camera is half a mile from the industrial estate.

This registration matches a vehicle registered to...

..Harinderpal Bains.

We've definitely gone over the threshold for PC Hari Bains.

- Bring him in, Steve. - Good call, gaffer.

What happened with the PM? Weren't you organising it?

Yeah, listen, mate.

I sent the email but I only just saw this morning

it bounced back from the pathologist's office.

- All right. - Steve. Life-saver.

Maneet, get me an update on Hari Bains's whereabouts. Urgent.

- Telecoms. - I'll get hold of Kate,

see if she's on his tail.

We need an urgent triangulation on a suspect's mobile phone.

Telephone number 07591 152 689.

Yeah.

He's at or near home.

Could have concealed firearms. Organise armed back-up.

Telecoms triangulation places Hari Bains at his home address.

We understand that his wife and one child

reside at this same address.

- What? - PC Francis is in his squad.

She shouldn't be in here.

Correct. Thank you. Francis.

Sir.

- DI Cottan. - I've been bumped off the op.

Too close to Bains.

I need to be in on this. Can you make a call?

No. This is too dangerous. I want you out of it.

- For Christ's sake, Dot! - Sorry, Kate.

You set aside that this is one of our own.

Hari Bains is potentially armed

and is considered to be extremely dangerous.

Let's get this done.

- Hello? - You were right about the PM.

Rod Kennedy. He was murdered.

Hello?

You're being fitted up for murdering Kennedy.

No. He was fine when I left him.

Do you hear how guilty you sound already?

- I... I don't know what to do. - Well, I do this for a living.

If you want a way out, you'll listen to me.

- Where's your DI? - On his way.

Then I'm the ranking officer.

We need Bains alive for information.

Armed police! Come out with your hands above your head!

I'm coming out!

- Where's Hari? - He went into the garage.

- Open it. - The keys are on the side.

- Get her out of here. - Hari! It's McAndrew.

We're opening the garage door.

It's jammed.

Wait!

Clear.

Don't touch the phone.

- Arnott. - I've got eyes on Bains.

He's entered the industrial unit where Kennedy's body was found.

He's probably armed. Don't move in till I bring back-up.

I'm not daft. I'll stay out of it.

On our way. Come here.

Secure that phone. I've got obs on Bains. Follow me.

Kate, we've got obs on Bains.

I'm en route to the industrial unit where Kennedy was found.

Cheers, Steve. I'm on my way.

Seriously? Of all the places to run, mate!

Where are you going now?

What are you doing here?

I'm just minding my own business,

re-examining an old crime scene.

Are you expecting someone else?

Who?

I don't know what you're on about, mate.

Well, have it your own way.

I was giving you a chance before the circus arrives.

A chance of what?

The way I see it, it's your word against Jackie Brickford's.

If you're seen to be cooperating with the inquiry,

then it doesn't take a genius to figure out who they'll believe.

Listen, bud, I don't trust you as far as I can throw you.

This is where your mate Rod died.

We've just had the postmortem report in.

He was murdered. You see, that's what I'm doing here.

You? It's not very clever, is it...

..returning to the scene of the crime?

I had nothing to do with that.

I believe you, mate. I do.

And, frankly, between the two of us,

the forensics aren't that strong.

But will Hastings? Hm?

Will the CPS?

This is that chance I was talking about.

Now, starting with Danny Waldron, before he died,

did he ever confide to you about those two pervs he killed?

- No, he never said owt. - You think carefully!

Ronan Murphy and Linus Murphy were the blokes he killed.

Did he ever mention any other names? Politicians? Coppers?

- No. - Think!

Tommy Hunter and Lindsay Denton?

What would Danny have to say about them?

All right.

So who are you here to meet?

I don't know. I've never met him.

I don't know anything about him.

- Nothing? - No, nothing.

Have it your own way.

Look, you don't understand.

What don't I understand?

- Man, I'm just small fry. - Steady!

It's just my phone. Look, it's unregistered.

They can't trace it.

I'll call him for you now, yeah?

Yeah.

The number you have called is not recognised.

Please check the number.

The number you have called is not recognised.

Please check the number.

The number you have called...

There is no "bloke"!

It's all you. You killed Danny Waldron.

You persuaded your mates to lie about it.

When Kennedy wanted to come clean, you killed him!

No. None of that's true.

I never killed Rod.

- Go! - Armed police!

- AC-12, don't shoot! - Stay on the ground!

- Hands behind your head! - Cuff him.

- You OK, Dot? - Yeah.

I'm arresting you for the murder of Roderick Kennedy.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence if you fail to mention,

when questioned, something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

Key.

What the hell are you doing here, Francis?

DC Fleming, ma'am. AC-12.

- What happened? - Go take a look.

When I got here, Bains jumped me.

He was gonna string me up the same way he did Rod Kennedy.

I should have had back-up.

I just didn't want him to get away, you know.

Nobody will question your judgment. You did a grand job.

Get to the hospital and get yourself a check-up.

- Off you go. - Cheers, guv.

Inspector, we're going to take this man into our custody,

but I'd like you to give us one of your crews to ride shotgun.

Yes, sir.

You're lucky AC-12 got to you first.

My team, we're following. The rest, back to the station.

Have you anything to say?

Take him away.

Steve.

- You OK, Dot? - Yeah, I'll live.

The jury's coming back. You're free to come in if you want.

I'll wait here.

Will the defendant please stand?

Will the foreman of the jury please stand?

An 18-1 search of Hari Bains's home

uncovered a cache of mobile phones.

All of the unregistered pay-as-you-go variety.

Finding these phones allowed us to examine their call history.

Hari Bains received a call the night before going to McAndrew

to volunteer to stay on Danny's squad.

Who was the call from?

Unfortunately it was also an unregistered pay-as-you-go phone

and said phone's no longer in history.

Same MO as the recent text Bains received,

telling him to sit tight.

Three days later there's another call from the same number.

That was the night before Bains murdered Danny Waldron.

Do you think they're connected?

If they are, it means somebody's been pulling the strings

and ordered Danny's murder.

- Well done, Dot! - Nice one, guv!

Good job!

- Welcome back, Dot! - Thanks, gaffer.

Great work, sir.

On the charge of conspiracy to murder,

have you reached a verdict upon which at least ten of you agree?

- We have. - What is your verdict?

Not guilty.

On the charge of perverting the course of justice,

have you reached a verdict upon which at least ten agree?

- We have. - What is your verdict?

Guilty.

Members of the jury, thank you for your time and efforts

in this complex case.

You are now dismissed.

I'm putting you in for a commendation.

- Sir, I don't deserve that. - Listen to this fella!

Single-handedly brings in an AFO

who killed two coppers in cold blood,

and for all he knew, they were armed to the teeth.

I'll give you "Don't deserve it"!

Thank you, sir.

- Nice one, guv. - Cheers, Clive.

Lindsay Denton,

for the offence of perverting the course ofjustice,

I impose a sentence of 38 months' imprisonment.

Since you have already served

the custodial term of that sentence,

your immediate release on licence will follow.

You are now free to go.

All rise.

I don't believe it. They've let her out on licence.

Lindsay! Lindsay!

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to make a brief statement

on behalf of my client.

My client would like to thank the men and women of the jury

who were faced with a complex case...
