Original subtitles

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.

I don't think we should close the investigation

into Danny Waldron's background. I'd like to keep digging.

What's he saying?

This is a young Ronan Murphy,

shot by Danny Waldron during Operation Damson.

What? They knew each other?

Did you fabricate the improper relations

- between you and DS Arnott? - No.

Did you fabricate the planting of evidence against you?

- What is your verdict? - Not guilty.

It is with deep regret that I inform you all

of the death of PC Rod Kennedy.

Hari initiated the struggle with that gun

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

I owe you an apology for the other night.

Your... dinner invitation.

You're a married man.

This is it.

Danny Waldron purposefully created a trail of evidence.

And now we're on the trail of the other abusers.

Dale Roach. He was leader of the city council

during the period Danny Waldron and Joe Nash

were residents at Sands View.

The things they did to us at Sands View.

I promise you I will get these bastards.

If Bains killed Danny,

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

You're being fitted up for murdering Rod Kennedy.

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

Did he ever mention any other names? Politicians, coppers?

Single-handedly brings in an AFO...

Welcome back, Dot.

I'd just like to get on with my life.

Ms Denton, I'm Gill Biggeloe, Legal Counsel to AC-12.

Mm. I imagine they keep you very busy.

Ha.

Have a seat.

You know Superintendent Hastings.

I do.

As part of a new initiative

christened Truth and Reconciliation,

following a miscarriage of justice,

parties are invited to engage in dialogue

to initiate the healing process.

There seems to be an oversight. Some of the officers

involved in my wrongful conviction are missing.

Superintendent Hastings, as Senior Investigating Officer,

represents the whole team.

Well, I want them here. Or this new box you need to tick just...

well, won't get ticked.

God give me strength.

Thank you. It wouldn't have been the same without you.

Ms Denton, on behalf of this department

and this constabulary,

I offer you a sincere and unconditional apology

for your wrongful conviction

in respect of the offence of conspiracy to murder.

Ted.

Uh... As the senior investigating officer,

I acknowledge your feelings regarding your conviction.

Wrongful... conviction. And you haven't actually said sorry.

Maybe you'll do better, DS Arnott.

You require me to sign off that I accept your apology.

I won't unless it comes from the officers who wronged me.

You're out. What more do you want?

An... apology.

Jesus Christ.

This isn't going very well at all, is it?

Ted.

As senior investigating officer, I apologise for your conviction.

You omitted "wrongful".

But thank you, that's very gracious.

DS Arnott? We're all waiting.

Your allegation that I planted

incriminating evidence against you is false.

Point of information. I've made two allegations.

One, you engaged in inappropriate sexual relations

whilst on an undercover operation

and, two, you planted £50,000 to simulate a bribe.

- And it's all crap. - Steve.

Really? Do tell.

Lindsay Denton knows our procedures inside out.

She exploited grey areas to tie our investigation in knots.

Oh, you did that all by yourself.

First DC Fleming's failed undercover operation

and then yours.

I didn't do too badly. You ended up in prison.

And we didn't fail. We got you convicted.

But you know sexual misconduct by undercover officers

is a hot topic so you invented this story about us going to bed

so the jury sees you as a wronged woman.

They felt I shagged you into conspiring

- to murder a protected witness. - Steven.

Thank you, DS Arnott. I couldn't agree more

that the question of your sexual integrity

quite rightly made the jury sceptical.

But I've got a recording that will be of interest to you all.

All right, then. This just isn't the time or the place.

Now is exactly the time and exactly the place.

Not in court, in a room full of rubberneckers and reporters,

my pathetic private life laid out

for everyone to laugh at, to pity. I couldn't bear that.

But to show you all what kind of officer

got me locked up for 585 miserable days of that,

that I can live with.

I've had my whole life put on trial... and now it's your turn.

You've been charged and tried but the one person

that refuses to examine what you're accused of is you.

I'm innocent. The question is, are you?

This phone was next to the bed the entire time,

although I can believe that you were too preoccupied to notice.

Would you like me to... play it for everyone?

DS Arnott?

No.

Christ sake, Steve.

Well. I feel this meeting's been remarkably successful,

and I'd be very happy to record in writing

that it's been a healing process for all parties.

I'd also prefer it if you'd consider closed

the matter of DS Arnott's sexual impropriety.

I don't intend to make a statement of evidence.

The people that actually did the crime that I was imprisoned for,

they're still out there.

Superintendent, you uphold the integrity of the police service.

If you held one iota of doubt about my conviction,

no officer would be more troubled by that than you,

no officer would do more to right that wrong.

I plan to move on with my life.

You won't move on, Steve,

until you stop chasing me,

and you start chasing your real enemies.

For Christ's sake, son! What was in that phone?

We've got to take that crap from her, sir?

You lied in court, you lied to your partner and you lied to me!

I didn't lie, sir. It's just not appropriate

to discuss an officer's private life. I don't quiz you on yours.

What do you mean by that? I'm a married man.

I know, sir, I just...

It isn't "private" when it's bandied about in a court of law!

What matters, sir, is whether I planted evidence.

Are there any forensic anomalies

in respect of the money found at Denton's address? No.

Are the Exhibit Officer's records inaccurate?

That is not the issue!

It's completely the issue. I did not plant evidence.

If... If I had sex with Lindsay Denton, which I didn't,

does that stop her being guilty?

Lindsay Denton has left the building.

Steve Arnott should do the same.

Discreditable conduct.

Steve Arnott did not plant evidence.

But it's OK to have a relationship with a suspect?

I can see how you feel about this, Ted.

Why defend the indefensible?

He can be an irritating wee gobshite

when he wants to be, I'll give you that.

Why? Because you personally recruited him

from Counter-Terrorism, and that means

you having to admit misjudgement.

Sorry, Ted, I intend to return to this conversation.

Kate.

Kate, wait. Please.

One time you told me Lindsay Denton had dirt on you.

Remember what I said?

Maybe some people always tell the truth.

The rest of us choose our moments.

That's what I did. To ensure evidence was put

in front of a jury that would convict her

of a crime we all know she committed.

But we don't know. The only person who knows is Lindsay.

We gather the evidence. The people decided she didn't do it.

Because you couldn't keep it in your pants.

- That's not what happened. - What happened?

It was an operation in which

I nurtured the trust of the target.

That is straight out of the manual, and total bollocks.

You shagged her because you wanted to.

- I didn't shag her. - This is all a bit too late.

You should have told me the truth and given me

the chance to work with you on this. That's what partners do.

For the tape, image 313 is a photograph

of item reference NTW-7.

The said item is a rope

found hanging from an overhead support.

DI Cottan has given a statement where you attempted

to overpower him with the intent of causing death by hanging.

The exact same means as PC Rod Kennedy.

I didn't murder Rod

and I absolutely didn't attempt to murder DI Cottan.

- In fact, DI Cottan set me up. - He "set you up"?

Yeah. Cottan smashed himself in the face

to make it look like I hit him. But I didn't.

As for the rope, he must have planted it there beforehand.

He'll say anything to save his own skin.

Yeah.

Why would an officer of mine do such a thing? Huh?

To frame me for Rod's murder.

Do you have anything to support these claims against DI Cottan?

For the tape, the interviewee is offering no supporting evidence.

Moving on... DS Arnott.

For the tape, Image 291, item reference MR-3,

and Image 292, item reference MR-4.

MR-3 and 4 are mobile phones.

A Section-18 search of your property

recovered two unregistered pay-as-you-go phones

concealed in the garage.

Document 16. Analysis of activity on these phones

reveals they made and received calls

within the telecommunications cell covering your home address.

Three nights before the murder of Danny Waldron,

a call was received by one phone.

Who called you?

No comment.

Document 16 again. The night before Danny Waldron's murder.

- Another call. - Who called you that night?

Calls of a suspicious nature were made

shortly before you volunteered to continue serving

on Danny Waldron's squad and before you murdered them.

Who made those calls and what did they ask you to do?

For the tape, the interviewee is not answering.

This pattern of communication,

unregistered pay-as-you-go phones, used briefly,

then discarded, is used by organised crime.

Who's got you in their pocket?

Nobody.

Hari, we have you receiving

phone calls linked to Danny's murder.

We have you lobbying to stay on Danny's squad.

We have your hands all over the firearm.

We have you consistently lying about Danny's activities.

We have a witness who says it was you who did all this,

and not PC Rod Kennedy. We have you at the murder scene

and in possession of the instruments of Kennedy's death.

Now, that's about the height of it,

and it's a great big pile of evidence

that is gonna crush you flat.

Now, come on.

You killed Danny Waldron. Yes or no?

Yeah. Yeah.

Good. Now we're getting somewhere.

We know you can't have been acting alone.

Help us help you.

Who gave the order to kill Danny Waldron?

Who was it?

It...

Come on. Who was it? Who was it?

You've got the bastard. Come on, talk.

- He never gave me a name. - Who didn't?

The bloke I always spoke to.

He sounded like he was a Londoner, Southeast, or summat.

It was all done over the phone, weren't it?

I never met anyone, like.

You've got to know more.

Times, places, other contacts.

Someone's behind all this, pulling the strings,

and I want to know who it is.

Ronan Murphy, the suspect killed by Danny Waldron.

- What do you know about him? - Nothing.

They had history, Danny and him.

- That's news to me. - Danny shot Murphy

and was going after Murphy's associates.

They wanted Danny dead. The job you did for them.

I didn't know Murphy. I don't know his associates.

I don't know why they wanted Danny dead.

Look, who's behind this?

What was Danny onto that meant you had to kill him?

Have you nothing further to say?

You have offered nothing new in this interview

to mitigate you being charged with the following offences.

I therefore have the authority from the Crown...

- We got the bastard. - Yeah.

They should throw away the key.

..murder of PC Roderick Kennedy. Two,

the murder of PS Daniel Waldron, and three,

the attempted murder of DI Matthew Cottan.

Do you understand?

I've been doing more work on the Ronan Murphy file.

There's a small entry - blink and you'd miss it -

that he was interviewed by a Murder Squad,

in relation to unsolved gangland murders.

But there's no details of the offences he was being linked to.

I can't help you.

How many times are we gonna go over this?

Lindsay lied in court to con the jury.

Maybe you're thinking, if he'd shag a suspect,

who else is he gonna shag?

I can't help you because I've never heard of

any Murder Squad investigation into Ronan Murphy.

If I had, don't you think I'd have bloody told you by now?

..still subject to delays due to over-running engineering work.

For fucks sake!

Making all your money are you? Eh?

You bunch of bleeding twats!

Huh?

You shithouse!

You bunch of bastards!

Oh, here they are. Come on, then. Great.

They should rip it down...

..and smash every brick of it.

Joe, we've spoken to the officer handling your case.

No-one's gonna press charges.

Those bastards.

They're gonna get away with what they done to us.

You know I'm gutted Dale Roach is unfit to face prosecution.

But, listen, Joe, we're looking into the complaints

made by you, or Danny, or any of the other lads,

to the police about the abuse you were made to suffer.

By staff and visitors.

Any police that came...

..they just talked to the staff.

I mean, they was the bastards

who were organising it in the first place.

And anyone that talked about it,

they just got it ten times worse.

We're doing everything we can,

but we still need your help, Joe.

We're particularly interested in this man.

You identified him as a football coach.

His name's Ronan Murphy.

Did you or anyone you know ever make a complaint about him?

Yeah, there was one time.

A social worker.

He did nothing. Nothing was done.

- What social worker? - Just some posh twat.

Posh to us, anyway.

We need a name, Joe.

Oliver Stephens-Lloyd, a registered social worker

with responsibility at Sands View.

He was a council employee around the time

that Danny Waldron and Joe Nash were residents.

Only record found so far is of a disciplinary hearing

accusing Stephens-Lloyd of dealing cannabis to residents.

He denied the charges and insisted he was being victimised

because he'd raised concerns about abuse at Sands View.

All other records have been lost,

reported destroyed in a fire or lost in an office move.

The tribunal report's existence is probably an oversight

by whoever's been destroying records.

All we have so far is Stephens-Lloyd

alleging individuals - many in positions of authority -

were part of a network of abusers.

He referred to compiling a list of names

he'd passed on to the police,

but it appears none of his allegations were investigated.

And regarding this list and the officer it was passed to...

No record. We'll keep looking.

- Find this social worker. - Sir.

Terrific presentation, guys. Honestly, really terrific.

Steve.

Before Danny died, he tried to say something.

I thought he said "Listen..." and couldn't get any more out.

Now I reckon what he said was "list".

Cheers, Kate.

Maneet, the evidence recovered from Danny Waldron's flat.

- Uh... yeah. - The empty envelope.

Ronan Murphy was shot dead in the heat of the moment.

But Linus, Danny had time with him.

Time to get information.

Let's see.

They never tested the envelope.

What?

Bloody Forensics.

They're on a tight budget this financial year.

I don't care about their budget. Get it tested now.

Thanks, Maneet.

So... what was all that about, then?

This is where Stephens-Lloyd's body was found.

This is the original report... dated 21st November, 1998.

Oliver Stephens-Lloyd was last seen a few weeks beforehand.

His body was found on the 14th by a fisherman.

- Statement's in the file. - What's going on?

I've asked Murder Squad if they'll reopen the case.

- Right. - Hiya.

- All right. - You all right?

We just re-interviewed the fisherman who found the body.

He recalls that pretty much the first thing he was told

at the scene was that it had to be a suicide.

Also it appears no photos or videos were taken of the scene.

Was there a missing persons report

or investigation at the time?

There was. The report's cursory to say the least.

It doesn't look as if anyone was actively searching for him.

The SIO at the time was a DI Marcus Thurwell.

He's no longer serving,

but we're doing our best to track him down.

The pathologist's autopsy report at the time

stated the body had superficial wounds and a broken arm,

which he put down to the body being struck by a boat.

So my boss has agreed to reopen the case.

We're already seeking permission to exhume the body.

We'll be taking this from here.

We've got an ongoing interest.

It's ours now but we'll keep you in the loop as best we can.

Seems like you're in everybody's good books.

Ticket number 41, Booth 15.

You know how long I've been waiting.

- You need to complete the form. - I've done all the forms!

- Lindsay? - Yes.

My name's Tammy. I'm one of the Multidisciplinary

Offender Management Team.

Is this your first appointment?

Yep. I'm ready to restart my life.

Lovely.

By re-joining the police service.

Bollocks to this.

Bollocks to the...

Uh...

You were acquitted of conspiracy to murder,

but guilty of perverting the course of justice.

Yes. I'm appealing against the conviction.

I'm gonna clear my name.

You can't rejoin the police with a conviction.

I told you, I'm appealing.

Have you actually checked to see that I can rejoin?

No, I haven't checked.

I would like to apply to rejoin the police service.

I'm sorry. Why are you looking at me like that?

I don't know you, I've got nothing against you,

but I can't help you if you're in denial.

You're an offender, which means no chance to rejoin the police.

- Yet I'm not a criminal. - Let's look on the bright side.

Try getting you into work. Everything follows from that.

OK.

Well, I... I was a detective inspector.

So I've got a valuable skill set.

So. Any news on them forensics?

Uh, yes, sir.

There were notable findings on the inside of the envelope

recovered from Danny Waldron's flat.

They found a number of tiny stains,

less than a millimetre across. Ink. Standard biro.

Could have belonged to anyone.

And blood.

- And that'd be Danny's, right? - No, sir.

It matched to Linus Murphy's.

The final report states these findings

are consistent with a blood-stained note

written during or shortly after

Danny Waldron's torture-murder of Linus Murphy.

Should I send a copy to DS Arnott, sir?

No. No, I'll handle it for now.

And...

And this is just between us for now?

Nice one.

Who is it?

Robin, from the Offender Management Team.

Come in.

Were you issued with the information leaflet?

Good.

This is difficult for you.

And we're here to help you pick up the pieces.

How long do I have to stay here?

You served half your sentence and now you're out on licence.

You understand all this, of course.

We want to help you move on, but it's not gonna be easy.

You're gonna need money for rent, for living expenses.

I can help you now, if you want.

Ten quid.

What are you saying?

I was just going through the role of the MOMT

in your adjustment to life after prison.

Nice meeting you, Lindsay.

We both have such busy schedules.

I don't think the taxpayer will mind.

Shame I'm gonna ruin the evening.

Right. Well, you know you can speak freely.

I can't tell you how to run your department,

but I want you to move Steve Arnott on,

make him some other department's problem.

Let me tell you about Steve Arnott.

He's my most dogged investigator.

He will not leave a stone unturned.

I had intended that meeting in a more social setting

would make this less confrontational between us.

Yes, well...

We've only just got started.

I would like the chicken liver pâté, then the sea bass.

I'll be right back.

Thanks. I'll have the soup

followed by the sirloin steak... medium-well,

and er...

..no sauce.

What's the matter?

I'm a married man.

Separated.

I took vows.

I can't undo them.

Don't you want to stay with me, Ted?

I'm sorry, Gill. I'm sorry.

I don't need to watch this, if you want something else.

It's fine.

You hungry? Do you want to go out?

I'm tired.

Yeah. All right.

I need to tell you what I found out about Ronan Murphy.

What, you looked into it?

Murphy was a person of interest

to the inquiry into the murder of Tommy Hunter.

In what way?

Ronan Murphy was one of Hunter's closest associates.

We never interviewed him.

Major Violent Crime did.

Ronan Murphy was interviewed

about the conspiracy Lindsay Denton was convicted of?

- Looks like it. - None of this was in the file.

It must have been doctored.

You didn't get any of this from me.

Well, well.

Who'd have thought?

What are you after?

You ever heard of Ronan Murphy?

Why do you ask?

I just thought you might have heard the name.

Are you reopening my case?

Forget it, all right. That's not why I'm asking.

I don't expect you to care, Steve,

but I'm never ever gonna get back to being that person I was

before all this happened.

The only thing that kept me sane,

the thing that got me up in the morning,

was being a police officer.

I want to find the people that framed me, Steve.

And I believe, I hope, that you do, too.

The audio file on this phone

is as embarrassing to you as it is to me.

Believe you me, I've got it backed up.

I don't enjoy threatening people.

They make me.

Ronan Murphy was killed by a police officer.

Murphy was a prime suspect in the murder of Tommy Hunter

but for some reason that's been hidden from AC-12.

Bring in the officer that killed him.

- He was killed two weeks after. - Why?

Oh, come on, Steve.

Best guess, he was breaking open a paedophile ring.

What?

Don't you see?

Ronan Murphy was interviewed

by the team investigating Tommy Hunter's murder.

And where did you get that from?

I'm not at liberty to say, sir.

Here we go again.

Hunter was involved in grooming underage girls

and pimping them out. And he was about to turn informer.

The people who ordered his murder

didn't want what he knew about exploitation to come out.

That's exactly the same motive as the murder of Danny Waldron.

They're connected.

Sir, we know Hunter's murder was orchestrated by the Caddy,

and there's evidence someone was pulling Hari Bains's strings.

Using the same methods as the Caddy - voice contact only,

multiple phones.

Yeah, but...

how can this be the Caddy? DC Cole is dead.

Well, the Caddy is my inquiry, sir.

So maybe I should be the one to look into it?

- Yeah, I'd be grateful. - Sir.

- Sir. - What?

Something to say?

Or are you not at liberty?

Sir.

I know exactly who we should speak to first.

- Who? - We'll be fine, thanks, Steve.

You see. The thing is, mate,

no-one likes their partner holding out on them.

So... where you taking me?

To the lying bastard who told us the Caddy was dead.

Why don't you let me handle this?

He's a chippy bastard. If I'm there,

there'll be a witness to who said what.

Cheers.

Dot?

Mate.

What's all this, then?

We're following up on a statement you made in 2013

in connection with the murder of Tommy Hunter.

OK if we come in?

You have done well for yourself, eh.

You, too.

Landed on your feet, you might say.

Crime Audit.

We gather important figures for important figures.

So how can I be of assistance to AC-12?

This report - sensitive parts of which are not for your eyes -

quotes your statement regarding DC Cole.

DI Cottan wrote this. I'm sure he can shed any light required.

This is just routine, Nige.

We're just following up on one or two details.

Are these your words?

"DC Cole was nicknamed the Caddy

because he wore golf jumpers but never played golf.

He boasted of underworld connections

and attempted to recruit me into a clandestine network

of corrupt police officers."

I cooperated with your investigation.

But we've got some new lines of inquiry.

Did Cole ever mention a gangland associate

of Tommy Hunter named Ronan Murphy?

Right. You pointed the finger at Cole.

You led everyone up the garden path.

Meanwhile, we've got two coppers murdered.

I'm not saying another word without a solicitor.

Fine. We'll continue this conversation at AC-12,

under caution, the date to be appointed by us.

Thank you.

Sir.

You have to shut this down.

I will not let anyone put you on the spot about Cole.

We both know why.

Shut... this... down.

Now. Or you know the secrets I can spill.

Why don't you come into AC-12 with your solicitor?

You tell us you heard the Caddy rumour about Cole

off of some old lag, dead or lost his marbles.

And you leave me to do the rest.

And?

There's always an "and".

And... you turn over all the stuff you've got on me. End of.

End of?

The incriminating item I've got on you,

that's my only insurance.

- You need me to shut this down. - I'm small fry.

You're the big fish.

So what'll happen when they find out about

all that evidence you've been sitting on?

The contacts in that phone,

the call history - all in my past, mind.

That isn't summat anyone could shut down.

Now you're, what, six months off retiring?

Four and a half.

Look.

I wasn't more than a kid when all this started.

Certain people pushed me into joining the Force

to do their dirty work from the inside.

And the truth is, mate, I want to retire, too.

Just in a different way.

But I can't do that till I'm free of the past.

And you could be free, too.

Four and a half months, that's you walking off into the sunset.

None of this hanging over you.

What's going on?

OK, he's here.

Nige.

Now, the purpose of today's interview

is to re-examine a statement provided voluntarily

by DC Morton on October 17th, 2013.

This is Document 1 in your folders.

- Is this your statement? - It is.

And do you now wish to amend your statement in any way?

I do.

DC Jeremy Cole was a corrupt officer,

the sort there's no room for in the police service.

What he got up to sickened me.

I did have occasion to meet Cole and he did at one time

boast about his connections to underworld figures.

Did you report Cole?

Although this is a voluntary interview,

I request the professional courtesy of being questioned by

an officer at least one rank superior.

Why didn't you report Cole at the time?

I thought he was a lippy kid. He was full of it.

I didn't believe his boasts.

Much later... I learned about his offences.

If only I'd acted, I might have prevented them.

I'm extremely remorseful.

In regards to your statement of Cole being the Caddy,

would you now like to make any further amendments?

I never heard Cole himself use that nickname.

I got it from another source and I passed it on.

I should have made that clear in my original statement.

I'm extremely remorseful.

Who was the other source?

An old friend from my days on Armed Robbery, Terry Capistrano.

And do you have any further information?

No, sir, only that I'm extremely remorseful.

Well, thank you, DC Morton. No further questions.

Interview terminated.

Wanker.

Right. I'll check out this name he gave us.

I wouldn't bother if I were you.

Terry Capistrano got Alzheimer's.

He was retired, sick. The poor bugger's lost his marbles.

- Convenient. - Come off it, Kate.

- Nige was just trying to help. - Can we be sure?

I know he's a mate and everything,

but he's a few months off retirement

and his missus hasn't been too well lately.

I really don't give a shit.

Look, his heart's in the right place.

Let's just leave this cock-up behind us, eh?

Please.

Yeah. Well, I suppose I can overlook it.

Thanks.

I really appreciate it.

Now we know the Caddy's active again.

But this time we get the bastard.

Lindsay?

Thank you.

I'm sorry for disturbing you.

What's this about?

I'm afraid I've heard that you've been absent from work.

I'm concerned that you're not coping.

And if you got into trouble again, you'd return to prison.

I'm never going back to prison.

But you can't afford to lose that job.

What did you expect for ten quid?

I was trying to help you.

20.

Argh!

Now... don't you try making up any lies about this!

Because it's all on video.

You can't do that! It's illegal!

You're saying that I can't record you

without your prior knowledge

as a breach of Article 8 of the Human Rights Act?

I'll take your act and I'll raise you Section 4

of the Protection from Harassment Act, 1997,

and your offence under that act

carries a maximum prison sentence of five years!

I'll see you in court.

Argh!

- Where's Maneet? - Off sick, I heard.

There's some forensics I asked her to chase up.

Oh. You'll just have to wait.

Kate's got a postmortem report for you, if you're interested.

Thanks.

Yeah. If you just get a couple of...

You've got a new PM on Oliver Stephens-Lloyd?

Yeah.

Were you gonna get round to telling me?

Yeah.

The new autopsy found

significant differences from the original.

Both arms were broken and there was a severe skull fracture.

Which isn't consistent with a flat surface like a boat hull.

It looked more like a hammer blow.

Right.

Look at the original PM, the distribution list at the end.

Routine distribution to senior officers at the time.

Routine except for one name.

Chief Superintendent Fairbank

had nothing to do with this case. He ran Vice.

Also copied in on the missing persons report.

What do we know about Chief Superintendent Fairbank?

This.

Councillor Dale Roach with guess who?

Chief Superintendent Fairbank.

Roach and Fairbank.

Roach and Fairbank.

Chief Superintendent Fairbank retired in 2008.

Oh, yeah, Pat ran Vice for donkeys' years.

If Oliver Stephens-Lloyd did submit a list of abusers

at Sands View, almost certainly it would've gone to Vice.

Almost certainly.

Which makes the fact he was copied in on these

missing persons and PM reports all the more suspicious.

Sir, former Chief Superintendent Fairbank

still lives in the area.

Well, let's see what he's got to say for himself.

Good work, you two. Good work.

- Sir. - Sir.

Come in, please.

We're very grateful for your time, sir.

Anything I can do to help.

And... I'm retired now. There's no need for the "sir".

Follow me.

- Take a seat. - I'm DS...

Tea or coffee?

We're fine, thank you, sir. As I was saying, I'm DS Arnott.

DC Fleming.

Mr Fairbank, we'd like to begin by asking you

about a social worker who went missing in October, '98.

Oliver Stephens-Lloyd.

Doesn't ring a bell.

Perhaps this report might jog your memory?

Blind as a bat without these.

Are you sure you don't want a tea or coffee?

We're fine, thank you, sir.

Sorry.

The report was copied to you.

Is there any reason you might take an interest?

None at all.

Can you explain why you've been sent this report?

Well, I don't remember any of this.

I mean, you're going back a good many years.

We'd like to show you some newspaper clippings, if we may.

You appear to be quite close to Councillor Dale Roach.

Our paths crossed occasionally. Usually at a charity event.

We weren't close.

We're looking into allegations

of child sexual exploitation involving Councillor Roach.

As head of Vice, did you ever deal with

any complaints against Roach?

There may have been some such saying

"Councillor Roach has done this" or "Councillor Roach did that".

And what would it be that the Councillor "did"?

I don't recall the details.

But when these things came up,

they would have been looked into.

Did you ever deal with complaints of abuse

at Sands View Boys' Home?

That doesn't ring a bell.

There was a specific allegation made by the social worker,

Oliver Stephens-Lloyd.

Sorry.

Stephens-Lloyd claimed he compiled

a list of authority figures, who, with staff collusion,

conducted systematic abuse of boys resident at Sands View.

See, I've never even heard of this "Stands View" place.

Sorry.

- I'll get that, love. - OK.

Here he is.

I hope I'm not too late.

Spot on. How are you keeping, Ted?

Can't complain. Can't complain.

I hope you don't mind me calling you?

Not at all, sir. A matter of professional courtesy.

As you were. As you were.

Oh, now, you'll stay after, won't you?

Joyce will kill me if I let you off the hook

from her Victoria sponge.

Ha-ha. That's very kind of you, sir. Thank you.

Don't mind me.

Now, where were we?

Where's Hastings?

Briefing.

Inspectors and above only.

Kate...

What the hell was that, Hastings showing up at Fairbank's?

You heard Fairbank. He called him, put the gaffer on the spot.

Yeah, well, I saw the handshake at the door.

It was Masonic.

And that file on Ronan Murphy. Murphy's connection to Hunter

must have been concealed by police officers.

And who gave us that file?

Hastings.

"The Caddy" is the codename for a serving police officer

with lifelong links to organised crime

working as a fixer within the police service

for certain criminal interests.

No officer has ever been irrefutably identified

as the Caddy, hence his existence is putative.

The term was first heard in a video statement

made by John Thomas Hunter.

DC Jeremy Cole, deceased.

Now, Cole was originally presumed,

on the balance of probabilities, to be the Caddy

but that conclusion is no longer supportable.

PC Harinderpal Bains, a corrupt AFO.

His statements of evidence

have led to the most accurate profile yet of this individual.

The Caddy is male.

Given his lifelong links to organised crime,

the Caddy is almost certainly from a working-class background

and grew up in an urban environment.

Given the history of his activities,

starting from some time between 2005 to 2010,

according to the video statement by Tommy Hunter,

the Caddy is probably under 35.

Given his access to confidential information

regarding ongoing operations,

the Caddy is almost certainly a detective.

His ability to manage communications

without ever betraying his own identity

implies a highly trained, highly sophisticated approach

to covert operations that is associated

with Counter-Terrorism.

And, lastly, Bains describes the Caddy's voice

as having a London or Southeast accent.

There's your bullet points.

All right, everybody. Let's leave it there.

Thank you.

Of course... this is only a profile.

There's lots of people this description could fit.

But only the Caddy could have got his hands on

Lindsay Denton's bribe money from the right forensic source.

I'm sorry, gaffer, but the finger's pointing

at one of our own.

All right?

All right.

SIM card?

It's all in there.

I don't know what to say.
