Operation Pear Tree files show
that DS Corbett

has been out of contact with his
COM for nearly three months.

In that time, he is believed
to have actively participated

in criminal offences,

namely the hijack of Seized
Goods Transport ED-905,

the murder of three AFOs,

the attempted murder
of a fourth

and possibly even the death
of Maneet Bindra.

Corbett relayed intel
on a laptop being used

to communicate with the OCG.

Have you harvested
enough information

to impersonate
the unknown user?

Yes, given time, we can simulate
all the metadata.

Hargreaves crossed us! Who to?

Who do you think's
the best man for the job?

H is a senior police officer.
Tell me I'm wrong.

The PCC is anxious
for a breakthrough.

Not to worry.
We're gonna get our man.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

- How much?
- 100 grand.

Haven't we earned a payday?

John Corbett, I'm arresting you
for the murder of...

I didn't mean
to kill Hargreaves.

But now I have,
I've crossed the line.

Mrs Hastings? I'm Detective
Sergeant Steve Arnott.

A man broke in wearing
a balaclava over his face.

He said you'd know
why he did it.

John Corbett's
the name he was given

when adopted
by the Corbett family.

His adoptive mother's
maiden name was McGillis.

He was born in Belfast.

Does your husband have any
connection to Northern Ireland?

John, they was here again,
them two from Anti-Corruption.

They asked about
Northern Ireland.

They was even asking
about family over there.

- Be nice to catch up.
- Yeah.

Maybe you could help us by
describing any of the police

that raided the print shop?

I take photos.

Christ!
How long's she been there?

I assaulted your gaffer's wife.
He'll make sure about that.

Lee Banks?
- Who the hell are you?

Superintendent Hastings.

Trust me.
You'll be glad you did.

You're a rat, John. A rat.

Cover it up
with all this stuff. Come on.

I feel terrible.

I never asked you
how your exams went.

Yeah, fine.

- Great.
- I got a date for my interview.

Ryan here's got a date
for his interview.

Yeah?

Smart boy.

Guess you're gonna have to
lie low from now on.

Shit.

Gonna miss all this fun.

- Cheers, Tatleen.
- Ma'am.

Sarge.

I've traced details of
John Corbett's parents.

Corbett's birth name
was John McGillis.

His father,
Anthony Patrick McGillis,

was the victim of a paramilitary
murder in 1984,

when John was five years old.

His mother, Anne-Marie McGillis,

continued to live with John
in Belfast.

In 1989, Anne-Marie disappeared,
believed to have been kidnapped.

Her remains weren't found
until 2001.

There was
a forensic investigation

of the scene and body
but the case is unsolved.

Do we know
why she was kidnapped?

According to files
held at the time

by the Royal
Ulster Constabulary,

Anne-Marie was accused
of being a police informant.

This is the postmortem report
from 2001.

Before she was executed with
a single gunshot to the head,

Anne-Marie McGillis
had been tortured.

The postmortem detected
gunshot wounds

to the wrists, knees and ankles.

- The same injuries as...
- Cheers, Tatleen.

We'll take it from here.
Strictly ten-eight on this.

Ma'am.

Sarge.

In 1989,
Hastings was a PC in the RUC.

When he passed
the sergeants' exam,

he chose to transfer over here
on promotion.

Nothing in his record
refers to him investigating

the disappearance
of Anne-Marie McGillis.

And the reference
to prolonged sick leave.

The only story the Gaffer
ever told me about those days

was about getting seriously
injured by a pipe bomb.

Significant that should happen

shortly after Anne-Marie
McGillis disappeared.

Yeah.

- Ted.
- Ma'am.

Superintendent Hastings,

I was very sorry to hear about
the assault on your wife.

I hope she's making
a speedy recovery.

She is, thank you.

I want to be transparent
on police corruption.

The public needs to know
we're investigating

institutionalised complicity

between the police
and organised crime.

Alleged complicity.

And the lack of progress puts me
in an invidious position.

Better Anti-Corruption doesn't
exist than is seen to fail.

I'm being strongly
advised to suppress the truth.

The truth?

That corrupt officers
are winning.

I think not. I mean, it's hard
enough catching criminals,

- never mind bent coppers.
- Andrea.

Ted, you'll receive
written notification

AC-12's authority to investigate
Operation Pear Tree

has been rescinded.

You're taking us off the case,
ma'am?

I've asked DCS Carmichael
to drop in later.

I haven't told her
the reason yet.

My team just need
a little bit more time, ma'am.

You've had your time.

Thank you, Ted.

Ma'am.

- This is a complete mess.
- Of your own making.

Rohan, no one wants to lie.

But part of our duty
is to uphold public trust.

Sometimes that means having

a non-exclusive relationship
with the truth.

We've made repeated attempts
to contact the OCG

using text communication
to their laptop.

So far, our messages
haven't been returned.

Maybe they've rumbled
the impersonation.

Yes, that's possible.

As you know, we've been able to
identify Corbett's burner phone

on the targeted surveillance
of his wife's communications.

We've made good progress
in harvesting the metadata

from his service provider.

Here's a map created
from historical metadata

on the phone's positions.

The hotspots represent habitual
locations we already detected,

such as his apartment
and Kingsgate Printing Services.

We've been moving on
to analyse lukewarm spots

and some have been reconnoitred.

We identified a nightclub
in the Kingsgate area.

- Sir.
- Sir.

I've been thinking
about this nightclub.

Well, I do read the reports.

Meet me downstairs. I've got
a plan of how we'll proceed.

Thanks.

Ma'am.

Sir?

With respect,
we need to consider

exactly what it is
we're trying to achieve here.

I'm banking that Corbett is
going to attempt

some kind of authentication
at this point.

This nightclub seems to be
their current hideaway.

If we look at the burner phone
activity at this location,

the second Corbett
or one of his wee mates

tries to contact the nominals
further up the chain,

we have a trail to the top man.

Oh, here we go.

They're challenging us to name
the meeting at the Palisades.

They normally use audio.
What's going on?

We don't even know if this
is Corbett at the other end.

It's an unknown user
with a new IP address.

They can achieve that using
a new dongle on their computer.

Right, OK.

Referencing
the Palisades meeting

is an approved element
of our pre-agreed responses.

OK.

OK, so H was
a no-show at the meeting.

He may have spotted
our surveillance.

But I'm backing us to be too
clever to allow that to happen.

I'm gonna take a gamble that
he was in the dark about it.

Here we go.

Bang.
Now we're cooking with gas.

What next?

Our preferred option
is to request information

on the whereabouts
of the stolen goods.

For Christ's sake.

The Gaffer can't authorise
an undercover op

and be the UCO at the same time.

There's no independent
decision making.

Is he even trained
in undercover?

God knows.

I'm gonna have to report this.

Kate, wait.

Steve, regs are regs.

We don't get to decide which
ones we like or don't.

The Gaffer knows that.

When my undercover was
questioned, he backed me.

I know he's going through a lot.

- I'll talk to him.
- I'll come with you.

No, I'm the DI.

Yeah?

- Sir.
- Kate.

Sir, I honestly don't believe
it's lawful

for the same senior officer to
sanction an undercover operation

without consulting
the head of the Covert Unit

or some other
independent officer.

I also believe that
whoever's TFC on this

will not be able
to guarantee your safety.

I recommend we commence
a covert surveillance operation

on the nightclub with a view
to apprehending Corbett,

McQueen and any other
OCG nominal detected, sir.

OK.

Sir?

OK.

Start the surveillance.

Sir, is there...something
you're not telling us?

No.

Thank you, sir.

Welcome to the messaging
service for Mark Moffatt,

Kettle Bell Property Partners.

No one is available...

- All right, Kyle?
- Yes, Steve.

No sign yet of Corbett.

Looking a quiet night so far.

Ideally we want to strike
while they're all there -

Corbett, McQueen,
Minkowicz and the rest.

But Corbett's the priority,
all right?

- Call me when he's sighted.
- Off somewhere nice?

Might be.

Cheeky bastard.

- Bring pizza next time.
- See ya.

I'm glad you called.

I was worried you'd still be
pissed off with me.

Who says I'm not?

Just cos you've got bum fluff
all over your face

doesn't mean
you have to be an arse.

- Borrow my razor any time.
- Oi!

How's it going at work?

Weird...is how it's going.

We've got an Acting DCS
and she's great.

But everyone's still talking
about Hargreaves.

- Looking back...
- "Were there any signs?"

Yeah.

Are AC-12
opening an investigation

into the whole of Serious Crime,
seeing if we were all in on it?

We haven't got the manpower.

Sorry.

No.

There weren't any signs.
I wish there were.

I guess there never are
till it's too late.

Want another?

- It's up to you.
- I'm fine.

I'm not, by the way.

Pissed off with you any more.

Good.

Good.

Coming?

Is something wrong?

It's fine.

Stop.

Stop.

Just... Give me a minute.

Steve.

Don't worry. It's not a problem.

- Steve...
- I won't be a minute.

Maybe there's just too much
going on with work or something.

Or maybe it's something
to do with your back.

You hurt it really badly.

Shit.

Can I help you, sir?

A quiet night.
Business on the slide?

Our business is fine.

What's yours?

John Clayton about?
I'd like to speak to him.

Wait here, sir.

Clayton, mind. I don't want
to talk to anybody else.

Lise, a copper...
looking for John.

Who?

This one.

- Did he show ID?
- Mm-hm.

Superintendent Hastings.

Hastings?

H?

He said he'd come.

Gaffer went in
about half an hour ago.

No sign of him coming out.

- Corbett?
- Still unsighted,

but McQueen and Minkowicz
entered earlier tonight.

God knows what
the Gaffer's playing at.

So, this Eastfield job,

that was Clayton's bright idea,
wasn't it? Where is he?

Lisa.

We need to take
some precautions.

Yeah, well, I was just, um...

talking to Miroslav here.

Where's Clayton?

John's lying low.

The situation got
too hot for him.

Right.

Well, I need to talk to him
cos this is business.

Talk to me.

Well...
Well, these Eastfield goods

are gonna be difficult
to get out of the country.

We're all looking for a payday,
right?

Every copper in three counties
will be looking for the goods,

so we've got to find a way of
throwing them off the scent.

What better way
to grease the wheels

than get
the head of Anti-Corruption,

who knows every bent cop going?

You need to be more than that.

What about H?

If you want to use that term.

How come you're
showing your face?

How come you're here on your
own, no crew backing you up?

Well, there's no time.
This needs to happen fast.

And this is between us.

We're doing things my way.

We'll take no chances.

- I'd really rather you didn't.
- Don't make this harder.

No disrespect intended.

Armed police!

- Stay where you are!
- Get down! Get down!

Don't move!

Don't move!
Show me your hands!

- Stay down!
- Don't move!

Stay down!

- 6-4. Urgent message.
- 4-5.

No visual with the Gaffer.

Searching premises.
Unarmed stay out till secured.

Received.

McQUEEN: All right?

No.

Keep him in the car for a while.

Let's wait and see
if he's being followed, yeah?

Well, what if he is?

Ma'am.

What happened?

A door
into the adjoining building

leads to an exit we didn't have
under surveillance.

I'm sorry, boss.

It's not your fault, mate.

This is why I told the Gaffer
not to do this.

Now I know why. The paperwork
came through from the DCC's.

We got taken off the case
this morning.

Shit.

Any leads
on where they're taking him?

An all-units bulletin's been
on the air for half an hour,

circulated to
neighbouring forces.

No obs reported.

Oh, Christ.

Well...

Clayton wasn't lying.
This really is...

..some haul.

Is he here?

I told you. He's lying low.

All right, well,
I need him on the inside.

I don't need him banging around
like some loose cannon

- ready to blow the gaff.
- Well, what's your plan?

Well, notices will have been
sent out to the port authorities

and the border agencies,
so I think our best option

is to fly this stuff out
through some private airport

with slack security.

I mean, there's a hell of
a lot of cargo here.

It'll take a couple of flights.

I think we should
start with the drugs,

cos they'll be the easiest
got rid of.

We can use
the Spanish connection.

What airfield?

Well, that'd be
Green Hill Aerodrome.

At the minute
we're investigating

a number of
drugs squad officers

who are under suspicion
for smuggling contraband

and Green Hill Aerodrome
is their preferred route out.

So that's why
we have to move fast.

There's only
a small window of opportunity

before surveillance
starts Monday.

So first flight tomorrow night.
Two or three more after that.

We get it all wrapped up by the
weekend. What do you say?

I just... I don't believe that H
would show up on his own.

Oh, right. OK.

So now I get why Clayton
ended up bossing this unit.

Because he would not have
the temerity to piss me off.

Now, you find out where
Clayton is, get him in here,

so I can have
a proper conversation.

What are you going to do, Lisa?

Lisa...

It's the cops!

Armed police!

- Armed police!
- Stay where you are!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Hands where I can see 'em!

It's all right.
We're all cooperating, fella.

6-4, scene secured.

Two under control.
Unarmed clear to enter.

- You crossed us.
- Not me. Not me.

- Shut up!
- Unarmed, move forward.

Repeat, all unarmed...

Sarge.

6-4. Ambulance required.

Control. Received.
One subject down...

I'm arresting you

on suspicion of Conspiracy
to Commit Armed Robbery.

It may harm your defence

if you do not mention,
when questioned,

something you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

- There's no keeping this quiet.
- Head down.

Alpha Charlie 4-5.
Two in custody.

Is he gonna survive?

Shit.

Sir.

Sir.

I was hoping you two guys
would save my bacon.

How did you manage it?

We exploited the contact numbers
from Corbett's burner.

One was pinged at the nightclub

and a live trace
led us out of town.

The phone was found
on Miroslav Minkowicz.

Great work.

Thanks for keeping up the
pretence in front of McQueen.

She is our best chance
of bringing Corbett in.

You'll appreciate, sir, we do
need to ask you a few questions.

Yeah, well,
let me save you the trouble.

DCC Wise,
she took us off the case.

Could've been the end of AC-12.

Look, I'm sorry
that I didn't bring you in

on what I was planning
but it was the only way.

Unfortunately,
Corbett has gone to ground.

But my hunch is he'll be back
sooner rather than later

with his tail between his legs.

But right now, you know what,

I'll give you a statement
in the morning.

- I just want to get home.
- Sir.

You should remain here
for your own protection.

I just...
I just want to get home.

Stick a couple of AFOs
outside the door.

Sir, if the OCG finds out
you're not in custody,

it poses a serious
and credible threat

to an investigation
we've all worked so hard for.

We need to maintain
the pretence.

Yeah.

Yeah, OK, yeah.

OK.

- Sir.
- Sir.

Oh, I thought you'd be in bed.

I was worried sick.

Didn't get a chance to call.

You said your promotion
meant better hours...

..you could be a mum
as well as a police officer.

Thanks for making me
feel like shit.

Nice one.

Alpha Charlie 6-1.
Corridor secure.

- Clear to approach.
- Received. Here now.

Did you participate in,

or are you able to provide
any information on,

the following offences?

The hijack of Transport ED-905
on the 15th of February, 2019,

the hijack of
ballistics transport BC-556

on the 27th of February, 2019,

and the armed robbery
of the Eastfield Depot

on the 5th of March, 2019?

No comment.

The murders of PC Ray Randhawa,

PC Kevin Greysham

and PC Carl Waldhouse

on the 15th of February, 2019,

and the attempted murder
of PS Jane Cafferty

- on the same date?
- No comment.

The murder of PC Maneet Bindra

on or before
the 23rd of February, 2019?

No comment.

The murder of Detective Chief
Superintendent Lester Hargreaves

on the 5th of March, 2019?

No comment.

Lisa, we've got
a mass of evidence

on the organised crime group
you're a member of.

From the nightclub office,

forensic investigators
recovered a laptop computer

with your fingerprints
all over the keyboard.

If convicted,

you'll spend the best years
of your life in prison.

But there is an alternative.

Our side of the inquiry
is the corrupt police officers

who've colluded
in these offences.

We need your help with that.

Witness Protection.

Immunity.

Provided you're not ineligible

due to committing
the most serious offences.

Did you participate
in any of the murders

listed by DI Fleming?

No.

We'll still need to
look into that, of course.

We require information

on the higher echelons
of the organised crime group.

You're asking a lot.

I need to think about that.

There is one individual we're
particularly interested in.

Do you recognise
the codename H?

Is your boss watching all this?

Superintendent Hastings
is in custody,

under investigation
for his links with the OCG.

Is he H?

Sorry. No comment.

Lisa, it'd be great
to have something

to prove
you're assisting the inquiry,

to get the ball rolling with
Witness Protection and immunity.

One piece of information
we require urgently

is the whereabouts
of John Clayton.

I ain't seen him
for at least a couple of days.

Why not?

Well, we got a tip-off that
there was a rat in the unit.

He must've lost his bottle.

Where'd the tip-off come from?

No names.

You'll have to
find that out for yourselves.

But...it came from
out of Blackthorn.

Maybe someone inside Blackthorn

knew about Corbett
from another inmate.

Well, that's a long shot.

Corbett was brought in
from Merseyside.

Ma'am, sarge.

Governor-authorised police
visits to Blackthorn Prison.

Cheers, Tatleen.

The Gaffer made a visit

on the 12th of March.

To Lee Banks,

the only current
OCG member inside.

Christ.

Well, it's there,
in black and white.

The Gaffer found out Corbett

was responsible
for assaulting his wife.

He goes to visit Lee Banks.

Lee Banks passes on the message
to the OCG

there's an undercover officer
in their ranks.

Obviously we don't know
that's exactly how it happened

- but...
- Yeah, we don't.

Well...

You know what I've got to do.

You've got no choice, mate.

Thanks, Steve.

Well, as for Corbett, let's hope
he went to ground in time.

The number you have dialled
is not available.

Please record your message
after the tone.

John...

if you get this...
you're in danger.

I think your cover's
been compromised.

You've gotta come in.
You'll be treated fairly.

I'll do all I can so you can
give your side of the story.

Just come in, mate,
before it's too late.

- DI Fleming, ma'am.
- DS Arnott, ma'am.

I've asked DI Randall
to take notes.

I've been advised you want to
discuss a sensitive matter

relating to AC-12's
investigation

into Operation Pear Tree.

I don't do this lightly, ma'am.

It relates to
Superintendent Hastings, ma'am.

I have a number of concerns

regarding his recent
professional conduct.

Specifically there was
a potentially unlawful

Fahrenheit order
given to DS Arnott...

and the recovery
of the stolen goods

involved an unauthorised
undercover operation.

God's sake.

Ma'am, we've also detected
circumstantial evidence

that Superintendent Hastings
may have

deliberately blown
John Corbett's cover.

My God.

Has Corbett been able
to reach a place of safety?

- We don't know yet.
- We're conducting

urgent inquiries,
in an effort to locate him.

Given what you've disclosed,
I've got no choice but to order

an outside investigation
into Superintendent Hastings.

- Yes, ma'am. We understand.
- Where is he now?

We're housing him, ma'am,
at AC-12.

- Very sorry, sir.
- Oh...

- Thank you.
- Uh...Gill.

- What are you doing in here?
- Yeah, well...

This is my gambit to get
the OCG nominal talking.

Meanwhile, I'm cooped up
in here going off my trolley.

Good news, I think?

We managed to neutralise
the OCG,

get the loot back
from the Eastfield job, so...

should be back in
the DCC's good books.

Sorry, Ted. The opposite.

There's been some
extremely serious allegations

which need to be
thoroughly investigated.

Oh... What...
What kind of allegations?

I'm not at liberty to say.

I know I'm playing a bit fast
and loose at the moment,

but my team'll back me up,
they always do.

Not always.

No, I... I don't believe you.
Name them.

The officer, or officers,
concerned have the right

for their allegations to be
handled in strictest confidence.

Mother of God.
My own team?

I'm here
as a concerned colleague

to offer my sincere advice
on how to avoid

an embarrassing finish
to a distinguished career.

Now, we need to move fast.

Retirement will put you
out of reach

of disciplinary procedures.

There such a thing
as reputation, you know.

What are these allegations?
I'll fight 'em, watch.

Who's leading the investigation?

An outside unit
with an Anti-Corruption SIO

at least one rank senior to you.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Not Patricia bloody Carmichael.

That one has been
fast-tracked from day one.

She hasn't put in the same years
as the rest of us mere mortals.

She'll see my scalp as a step
up the ladder, believe you me.

Ted, I can help you.

I used to be a defence
solicitor, a bloody good one.

That's all right, Gill.
I'll make my own arrangements.

Well, you're your own man, Ted,
you always have been,

but don't say that I didn't try.

Which is why I wanted to be
the one to notify you.

- Notify me?
- This is a standard letter

which will accompany
the Regulation 15 Notice.

You're being
suspended from duty.

I'm really sorry, Ted.

Sir? Sir, you're not meant
to leave the building

without DI Fleming's permission.

Kate and Steve aren't here.

Otherwise, they'd answer to me.

Tell 'em to get their stories
straight by the time I get back.

But, sir, I'm under orders
to stop you leaving AC-12.

- Am I under arrest?
- Uh...no, sir.

Precisely.

- There's not sign of him.
- Ma'am, he's just arrived.

- Ma'am.
- What the hell's going on here?

- Superintendent Hastings?
- Yeah.

DI Michelle Brandyce, AC-3.

Are you gonna tell me
what's going on?

Detective Chief
Superintendent Carmichael

asked me to keep track
of your movements.

I was informed you'd absconded.

"Absconded"? That's rich! I'd
just like to get up to my room.

Sir, may I ask what's
the purpose of your visit here?

A hot bath
and a change of clothes.

For Christ's sake.
Right, Constable, stand aside.

Sir, we need to question you.

Could I please ask you
to accompany me

to Decker Avenue Police Station?

Between you and me
and the gatepost, DI Brandyce,

my patience
is wearing a bit thin.

Constable, stand aside.
That's an order.

Sir, I've asked you politely
to come to Decker Avenue.

And I've politely declined.

In that case, sir, you give me
no choice but to arrest you.

- On what grounds?
- As I'm sure you know, sir,

under the Police and Criminal
Evidence Act 1984,

Code G, Subsection 2.9,

I have the lawful power
to arrest you

to further the prompt
and effective

- investigation of an offence.
- What offence?

Wanting to get in to get
a clean set of clothes?

- I recommend you cooperate.
- Yeah? State the offence.

Edward Hastings,
you are under arrest

on suspicion of misconduct
in a public office.

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

if you do not mention,
when questioned,

something you later
rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

DS Arnott.

Thanks.

- You all right?
- All right.

It's usually you Sam calls.

Everything all right
with you two?

- Not really.
- That's a shame.

I thought you were
getting back together.

- We're not.
- Sorry, mate.

- Thanks for the call.
- You all right?

All right.

Workmen were
processing this scrap

when they accidentally disturbed
the body bag.

We've examined CCTV

and an OCG vehicle was seen
in the immediate vicinity.

Open it up.

If this is Corbett...

Yeah.

There's a strong smell
inside the bag.

Jesus Christ.

No, it's OK, you carry on.

- You OK, mate?
- No.

I'm sorry.

No way he deserved that.

What if he did blow
Corbett's cover?

Doesn't bear thinking about.

DCS Carmichael asked me
to pass on a message.

Yeah?

Given the possible
conflict of interest,

it protects all parties for you
to stay out of the building.

If she needs you,
we'll call you in.

Come on, mate,
there's nothing we can do here.

Thank you. As you were.

Anti-Corruption Unit 3
interview of Edward Hastings

in the presence of his solicitor

by Detective Chief
Superintendent Carmichael,

Detective Inspector Brandyce
and Police Sergeant Tranter,

at uh...1730
on 14th March, 2019.

For the DIR, can you please
identify yourself?

Superintendent Hastings.

You remain under caution.

Mr Hastings, what is your
current permanent residence?

My rank is Superintendent
and you will address me as such.

I'm very happy to address you
as Superintendent,

and in respect of
your responses,

"ma'am" will suffice.

I do not have
a permanent residence, ma'am.

Why is that, Superintendent?

Because my wife and I
sold the house.

I am temporarily
holed up in a hotel

whilst seeking more permanent
accommodation.

And this would be
the Edge Park Hotel room?

Yes. Room 336.

Document 4 in your folders.

Document 4 relates to a search
of Room 336

at the Edge Park Hotel
today on 14th March.

PS Tranter will show you
Image 9 on screen

or, if you prefer,
you can refer to your folder.

Image 9 shows
Item reference MB-1.

Superintendent Hastings,
do you recognise Item MB-1?

- I do, ma'am.
- Image 10 on screen, please.

Image 10 shows
Item reference MB-2.

Item reference MB-2
is a collection of banknotes

in the value of ?50,000.

Do you recognise Item MB-2,
Superintendent Hastings?

I do, ma'am.

Can you account for this
substantial sum of cash?

I was in the process
of returning this cash

to Retired Detective
Chief Inspector Mark Moffatt.

Moffatt forwarded the cash
to me using false pretences.

DI Brandyce.

Document 24 in your folders.

Statement given to PS Tranter
by Mark Moffatt today,

14th March.

Mr Moffatt claims he only
provided further documents

relating to the Kettle Bell
project and nothing else.

Well, the man is
a bare-faced liar!

I can't bear shouting.

You really ought to try
and be more calm.

Well, I'll be more calm when I'm
not listening to a pack of lies.

Did you even check the bank
notes for finger prints?

Funnily enough, I have run
an investigation before.

Moffatt provided
elimination prints.

- None on the bank notes.
- He'd be too smart for that.

- What about the envelope?
- Prints were detected

but he doesn't deny
handling the envelope.

- Right. Great.
- Said cash.

Why did you hold on to it?

As I said,
I intended to return it.

- "Intended"?
- Yeah.

I didn't open the package
immediately.

When I spotted the cash,
I called Moffatt straightaway.

How would you describe receiving
50 grand in a brown envelope

when you're the head
of an Anti-Corruption unit?

Suspicious.

Mm.

There, you see, we're agreeing.

This is much better, isn't it?

"Suspicious." Mm.

It was
a complicated arrangement.

It was an advance on funds
due to me further down the line.

And the fact it was in cash -
what did that make you think?

Like I said,
it didn't sit right.

Possibly someone
was trying to hide the payment?

That's possible.

- DI Brandyce.
- Document 17 in your folders.

We've been given access
to the accounts

of Kettle Bell
Property Partners.

We are unable to detect
the sum of ?50,000

credited to Edward Hastings.

Yeah, well, um...

Moffatt must've been
keeping it off the books.

Well, bearing in mind that's
your version, Superintendent.

Moffatt denies
furnishing you with the cash.

Yeah. And I told you,
the man's a liar.

My client is telling the truth.

He strenuously denies
Mr Moffatt's account.

Alternatively, hiding financial
transactions on that scale,

is that something
you would normally do?

Absolutely not.

DI Brandyce.

As part of our inquiry,
under police-developed

vetting procedures,
we've been able to inspect

Superintendent Hastings'
financial records.

Documents 30 to...
to 38 in your folders.

Now, in 2014,
an allegation was made

by an officer
under investigation by AC-12,

DI Lindsay Denton, who had
fraudulently obtained access

to Superintendent Hastings'
financial records.

At the time,
Superintendent Hastings

answered the allegations
in writing

and the inquiry was closed

as Denton's evidence
had been obtained unlawfully.

Oh, no, no. Because there was
no case to answer.

Our examination of
your accounts since 2014

shows increasing debts,

each time rectified
by the sale of assets.

Is that why you sold
the family home, Superintendent?

I don't have to answer
that question.

You don't need to answer
any questions,

but that's not going
to help you, is it?

So far we have ?50,000
hidden in your hotel room...

and a history of insolvency.

It's in your best interest to
account for this, otherwise...

..my imagination might
start running away with me.

I mean, there's lots of reasons
a bloke might get into debt.

Hardly dare mention them.

Gambling.

Drink. Drugs.

Sex.

Look, it was a bad investment.

You trust somebody.

All I was trying to do
was to secure...

..a comfortable retirement
for myself and my wife.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But it is your duty
to declare these losses.

In your position, as head
of an Anti-Corruption unit,

you are uniquely vulnerable

to attempts of bribery
and/or blackmail, agreed?

- Yes.
- There, we're agreeing again.

This is how I like to work.

These proceedings
were initially triggered

by allegations of
professional misconduct.

- Let's examine those.
- I'd be grateful if you would.

Your professional activities
on 12th March.

Have you had an opportunity to
review your diary for that day?

I have, ma'am.

- Feel free to refer to it.
- Thank you.

Did you make a visit
to Blackthorn Prison?

I did.

What was the purpose
of that visit?

To gather and harvest
information

on the organised crime group

that we were in the process
of investigating.

We have a copy of
a Governor-authorised

police visit to Blackthorn
Prison on 12th March.

Is that your name recorded
at 1700 hours?

Yes, ma'am, it is.

Who is the prisoner you visited?

- That would be Lee Banks.
- Did you speak with Banks

- on the 12th?
- I did.

What was the content
of that conversation?

I questioned Banks
on the personnel of the OCG

and other details that might
be useful to our inquiry.

Was the conversation recorded?

No, ma'am.

Was it witnessed?

No, ma'am.

PS Tranter
interviewed Lee Banks.

Lee Banks refused to cooperate
in our inquiry

and answered "No comment"
to all the questions put to him.

There's no corroboration
of your statement, is there?

Now, look, Lee Banks
is a hardened criminal.

It's like getting blood
out of a stone.

Well, he talked to you.

- A little.
- Why?

- What do you mean?
- Banks isn't very forthcoming.

What induced him
to speak to you?

Well, I am the Superintendent

of the team that got him
banged up and put behind bars.

So, if he helps me
with my inquiry,

I'll put in a word in
to the court

so they can take into account
his cooperation

when it comes to sentencing.

There really isn't anything
very clever about that.

But visiting a prisoner,
with no witness, no recording,

that is less clever.

For the DIR, the interviewee
is not responding.

What specifically
did Banks reveal to you

about the OCG
that helped your inquiry?

Only that the shots were being
called by John Clayton,

aka John Corbett,
and one Lisa McQueen.

Let's turn to Corbett
and McQueen.

Your unit has been attempting -

without much success
it has to be said -

to apprehend Corbett.

When was the last confirmed
contact with Corbett?

Well, I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'd have to check.

We've checked.

It was 12th March.

A few hours before you
visited Lee Banks

in Blackthorn Prison.

Now, turning to Lisa McQueen.

She was interviewed
by your investigators

into Operation Pear Tree,
DI Fleming and DS Arnott.

We've been able to listen
to the DIR of that interview.

Reading from the transcript.

"McQueen: We got a tip-off
there was a rat in the unit.

He must've lost his bottle."
"He" being Corbett.

"DI Fleming:
Where did the tip-off come from?

McQueen: It came from
out of Blackthorn."

Superintendent Hastings,

did you reveal sensitive
information to Lee Banks

regarding DS John Corbett's
undercover operation

- within the OCG?
- No, I did not.

What would have been
the consequences if you had?

Well, I think Corbett would've
considered his position

and...sought refuge
in the nearest police station.

Unless the OCG got to him first.

For the DIR, the interviewee
is not responding.

I'd now like to present evidence
from a forensic recovery

at er...McDade and Company
Breakers Yard.

Images 67 to 72
show us a body bag

being forensically recovered

from McDade and Company
Breakers Yard.

The body bag contains body parts
relating to a property developer

who's been a missing person
since 2012.

Miss Jacqueline Laverty.

Do you recognise Miss Laverty?

Um...yes, I do.

She was the...mistress

of a police officer
who was under investigation,

DCI Tony Gates.

Gates stated that he was present

when Miss Laverty was murdered
by members of the OCG.

So it's highly likely,
wouldn't you agree,

that this body bag
was dumped by the OCG?

Uh...yeah. Yes.

Also present in the body bag
were remains

relating to an IC1 male
aged approximately 40 years.

A postmortem has revealed
that the victim

died of exsanguination following
a knife wound to the neck.

Fingerprints and DNA match
IDENT1 elimination samples

of a serving police officer.

Detective Sergeant
John Corbett.

Superintendent Edward Hastings,
I believe we have demonstrated

you had motive
to want Corbett dead.

No...
- And the opportunity and means

to disclose to Banks that he was
an undercover police officer.

No! Never!

The threshold test
has been passed

and therefore it is
my lawful right to arrest you

on suspicion of Conspiracy
to Murder John Corbett.

- No, no, no.
- You will be held in custody

while we gather
further evidence.

No! What is happening here?
I am being framed!

- Interview terminated.
- Look, I am not bent!

- Thank you, Tina.
- Ma'am.

- I assume you've been informed?
- Yes, ma'am.

You did the right thing.

Pointing the finger at your own
gaffer takes guts, integrity.

It tells me that I can count on
the two of you.

- Count on us for what, ma'am?
- Today was just for starters.

I'm gonna prove
that Hastings is "H".
