All language subtitles for Line of Duty - S02E03 - Bail Hearing (1080p BluRay x265 RCVR)

DI Denton.
- DS Jayne Akers, calling
with request for urgent assistance.

Immediate and credible threat
to life.

I need a safe and available
destination, ASAP.

There's been an attack on the police.

Three of our colleagues have lost
their lives in the line of duty.

You called me that night.

Yes, sir.

I shouldn't have even
been on duty that night.

I'd do anything not to have been
there, not to have picked up

that call, because for all I know
it's going to take away

the one good thing in my life, and
that is being a police officer.

I'm heading up a newly-formed unit
that's taken over

the search for Carly Kirk.

Oh!

- DS Arnott, AC-12?
- Boss.

People have underestimated me
my whole life.

I'll open up Witness Protection
to your team.

There's a DI in AC-9.

He's your man. You'll second him.

As you wish, sir.

Whatever it takes to nail
those bastards.

Your call history makes for very
interesting reading.

The night of the ambush
she called me to call you.

To say what?

For you to call her back about
the case she was working on.

This is the home
under protective custody,

of staff nurse Claire Tindall.

You interviewed her in connection
with events at the hospital.

There are more photos.

The protected witness.
The wee gobshite this was all about.

Christ!

DI Denton, I'm arresting you for
conspiracy to murder

a protected witness.

What was in the witness protection
files?

Oh, my God. Was it someone you knew?

I'm innocent. You know I am.

All rise.

Remain standing.

Are you Lindsay Elizabeth Denton?

SHE WHISPERS: Yes.

Please speak up so we can hear you.

Yes.

Sit down, Ms Denton.

Morning, Ms Latimer.

Your Honour, the defendant is
charged with conspiracy to murder.

This is a very serious charge
arising from a complex investigation

by Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

A 36-year-old woman has been charged
with conspiracy to murder.

There are rumours the victim
was a protected witness

granted immunity from prosecution.

No further details will be
disclosed at present.

The charging of the 36-year-old woman
is a highly significant breakthrough,

and we're confident that more
arrests will follow.

THE JOURNALISTS CALL OUT QUESTIONS

Nick Ronson, from the Evening Post.

Thanks. Do you think the Witness
Protection Scheme

is fit for purpose?

No comment. Thank you all.

THE JOURNALISTS CALL OUT QUESTIONS

Well handled, sir.

Cheers, Les.

Champion.

You're the new Media Manager?
Jo Wright.

New Jo. Have you got a minute?
Sure.

There's a false speeding
story about me...

With this arrest, sir, it's dead.

Good. A stupid, pointless
distraction.

Oh, and civilians don't have
to call me sir.

I'd feel uncomfortable not
respecting your rank.

OK. Great.

Is there to be a bail application?
Yes, Your Honour.

Your Honour, the prosecution opposes
bail on the following grounds.

The seriousness of the offence,
the defendant has the means

and knowledge to abscond from
justice.

Your Honour, the defendant is
a serving police officer

of excellent standing.

She has no desire to abscond.
She intends to clear her name.

I'm refusing bail.

You will be remanded in custody
until the 18th of November.

All rise.

What about Bella?

Has anyone got an evidence
bag for this?

Answering only yes or no,
do you understand spoken English?

Yes.

Answering only yes or no,
are you Lindsay Elizabeth Denton?

Yes. Answering only yes or no,

are you currently suffering from an
infectious disease?

No.

Answering only yes or no,

are you currently suffering from a
sexually transmitted disease?

No.

Answering only yes or no, are you
or could you be pregnant?

No.

You'll reside in
the Vulnerable Persons Unit.

You will be in a cell on your own
and you will have

minimal association with
the other residents.

Answering only yes or no,
do you understand? Yes.

DOOR BUZZER BUZZES

When an Offender Management Officer
enters your cell,

she'll order you to move
away from the door.

Answering only yes or no,
do you understand?

Yeah.

If you maintain good behaviour,
you may request a television set,

the cost at £2 per week to be
taken out of your allowance.

Can I request
a piano keyboard, please?

Answering only yes or no,

would you like to request
a television set? No.

Move away from the door.

DOOR CLOSES AND BUZZER SOUNDS

Oh, what's that tosser doing here?
Buggered if I know.

Morning, you two.
Morning, sir.

Sir, what's he doing here?
Oh, yeah...

Look, our investigation has expanded
into Witness Protection.

The Deputy Chief Constable ordered
me to bring on

a specialist from AC-9.

Those bastards have been
keeping us out.

AC-9 did not make the call, Steve.

Dot Cottan certainly did not
make the call.

This has come directly from the
office

of the Deputy Chief Constable.

I'm not saying you should've run it
by us first.

I'm glad you're not saying that,
Steve, because that shows you're not

confused about who's in charge here.

Come on, give him a chance.

The Tony Gates team was disbanded,

Cottan went on to distinguish
himself, got himself a promotion,

and the fact of the matter is he was
the only officer in that unit

who was prepared to stand up and
give evidence against his boss.

He's a born Anti-Corruption Officer,
poacher turned gamekeeper.

WARDEN BANGS ON THE DOOR

Move away from the door!

DOOR BUZZES

The dirty bastards put shit in my
food. Don't you people check?

Answering yes or no,
don't you people check?

The target of the 5th September
ambush was a protected witness.

To fill you in on the details,

I'd like to introduce you to
Detective Inspector Matthew Cottan.

Thank you, Matt.
Thanks a lot, sir.

In June of 2012,

a double murder at Greek Lane,
Moss Heath,

that was originally thought to have
been drug-related,

was recrimed as a terrorist
incident.

This individual is
John Thomas Hunter.

He used the name Tommy and had
proven links with organised crime.

Tommy co-operated with the
investigation

into the Greek Lane terror incident

in return for immunity from
prosecution.

Tommy was the target of the ambush.

Having been enrolled in the
Witness Protection programme,

he was given a new identity as
Alex Campbell

and relocated to a safe house at
12 St James's Close.

On the night of September 5th
his Witness Protection Officer,

DS Jayne Akers, notified an
immediate threat against her witness

and attempted to move him into safe
custody at 4th Street Station.

As we all know, Akers was killed

and the witness received
critical injuries.

A second, successful attempt
on his life was made

at the General Hospital
nine days later. Yes?

No prosecutions resulted from
the Greek Lane counter-terror op.

As a result, as I was going on
to say,

the witness's immunity was
in jeopardy.

The only way for him to stay out of
prison was to prove his value.

So you think this got back to the
witness's criminal associates,

which prompted their plan
to silence him?

Exactly that, sir. Yeah.

DS Akers was the person closest
to the witness, trusted by him.

So if he was going to name names,
she'd be the one to know.

What?

DS Akers was killed in the ambush.

How'd it fit that
she betrayed Tommy?

Well, unknown to Akers,

she may also have been the target of
the ambush, killed for her silence.

Sounds like a guess.

I'd call it a working hypothesis.

We've charged DI Lindsay Denton.

AC-9 wouldn't happen to be sitting
on a connection

between Tommy and Denton?
Not that I know of.

Yet. Which is why we are pooling
our resources. Thank you, Matthew.

Thanks, sir.

Assignments in respect of
the foregoing

will come via me or DI Cottan.
Thank you. That is all.

Also before you go. I've got some
hand-outs, should anybody want one.

For Christ's sake.

KEYS JINGLE

Kindly take a seat and your event
will commence shortly.

Hello, Inspector, how are you?

Hmm. Tickety-boo.

I need to conduct a further interview
in regard to the ambush

on the night of September 5th.

You remain under caution.

There are strict rules for
post-charge interview.

One of which is for the detainee to
have put to them information

which has come to light
since they were charged.

In the interests of justice.

Go on.

Who was DS Akers' protected witness?
I don't know. I never knew.

You never saw him,
never heard a name? No.

Have you ever seen this man before?

No.

Fine. Have it your own way.

Is that the new information?
Was that the witness?

Fine. End of conversation.

Why didn't you reveal to Hastings and
Arnott that I'd received a call

off DS Akers' husband on the night of
the ambush?

I didn't need to. No?

No. Hastings makes Greece
look solvent

and Arnott can't keep it
in his pants.

Their transgressions are minor
in comparison. Irrelevant.

How did you figure out I was
an undercover officer?

What, I give you tips so you can do
a better job

on the next innocent officer
that you go after?

I did a good enough job on you.

You want me on a string,

wondering when you're going
to screw up my career.

You don't like it when the shoe's
on the other foot, do you, Kate?

Let me explain something to you,
Inspector.

You're facing a charge of conspiracy
to murder. That's a life sentence.

I'm not going to be in here
for life. I'm innocent

and I'm going to clear my name

and that will become apparent at
the trial. If we get that far.

We will.
Is this what you want, Kate?

Wouldn't it be better if you went
out and found the actual culprit,

and got all the charges against me
dropped? The evidence points at you.

Circumstantial evidence.

The CPS buy it. So will the courts.
Yeah, the courts,

where it's going to come out that
you're connected to the person

who's much more likely to have
set up the ambush.

There's no connection. You know what,
you're a good liar, Kate.

Not good enough to fool me
when you were undercover,

but good enough to hide that call.

I'm so glad you did, cos you've made
yourself my ticket out of here.

Well, whilst you're in here,
bouncing off the walls,

our investigation rolls on,
day after day,

gathering more evidence against you.

For one, we'll find out
the real reason why you were

sniffing around that garage.

I told you. We'll see.

DOOR BUZZES

We've both been here before.
So has Major Violent Crime.

What matters is Denton came here.

Yeah, following a missing persons
lead.

This is the exact place
used by Tommy's killer.

If that isn't a possible connection
between the two of them,

I don't know what is.

What?

I searched this place.
It was flat.

Well, it's not any more.

Get the landlord on the phone.

We need consent to get
a search team over here.

Let's see what
comes from the garage.

But now we've got access to
the witness protection files,

we've got Tommy.

We've got Akers, who was his WP
officer, and her phone records.

And then we've got Denton.

But nothing in either the files
or the phone history connects

either party to Denton.

All right?

All right.

You all right?

So, Gaffer says you were
probies with Akers.

Yeah, I went through Ryton with her.
Honest copper?

Yeah.

What?

We're playing catch-up.

Feels like everybody else got
first dibs on this one.

First thing we did was look for
prior contact

between Akers and Denton.

They never worked together,
they never called each other.

As far as we can tell,
they were complete strangers,

never met until a few
minutes before the ambush.

As per Denton's statement.
Yeah.

There's a hell of a lot of evidence
against Denton.

Oh, yeah, you're right. There is.

Look, the gaffer's asked me
to do a job.

It's not my fault you were kept
out of the loop.

But really, around the office,
you ought to be calling me sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Good. Have a nice day.

Wanker.

Twat.

OK.

According to Akers' phone records,
a few minutes beforehand,

she called a number registered
to her husband.

She calls home, says, "I might be a
little bit late tonight, love,"

and then arranges the transfer
via Denton.

Makes sense, but let's
talk to the husband anyway.

Good idea.
I'll call him.

No, it's fine, I'll do it.

Do you mind if we set the interview
up for tomorrow though?

Cos my Tesco's shuts at eight.
All right.

Hi.

In the morning, I'm going to
return to take a statement

with my partner, Steve Arnott.

You'll answer all our questions
fully and honestly,

with the exception of disclosing
Jayne's request for you

to contact me and the fact that you
did attempt to contact me.

Right. OK.
OK.

Kate...

I get it.

Last thing I want to do
is embarrass you.

CRIES AND SHOUTS FROM ABOVE

You picked a good day, Ted.

We've got Bourbon Creams.

Thanks very much, sir, but I'm fine.

Why didn't you notify me
you were arresting DI Denton?

I didn't realise I had to, sir.

I thought we agreed
we were on the same team.

We are, sir,

it's just there's the principle of
non-reciprocity between...

I'm managing one of the biggest
cases, if not the biggest,

this force has ever seen.

Every move's being watched
like a hawk.

And may I ask if there's
any difficulty

with Denton's arrest, sir?

No, of course not.

You did the right thing.

Luckily, we've managed to play this
development in our favour.

It's just that you would've
appreciated some forewarning, sir.

That's all it is.

Well, if I could just beg another
minute of your time, please, sir.

Quickly.

I'm going to send you the audio file
of the interview

with DI Denton in which you'll hear
her levelling accusations

intended to discredit
two AC-12 officers.

DS Stephen Arnott

is accused of having a liaison
with a witness, sir.

It happens.

OK. The second officer?

Well, that would be me, sir.

DI Denton obtained my financial
records and is accusing me

of having high levels of undisclosed
financial losses, sir.

Her actions in obtaining those
records are, in my opinion,

unlawful, sir, but however,

the information she has against me
is correct.

I'm sorry. How did it happen?

A retired colleague invited me
to invest in a property deal

in the Irish Republic.

I meant, how did
she access your records?

That's still under
investigation, sir.

You're aware the prosecutor's going
for public interest immunity

against DI Denton?
I am, sir.

And there's a chance they'll umbrella
AC-12's evidence

with Witness Protection.

It's possible this could all end up
being brushed under the carpet.

That's out of my hands, sir.

This must've been difficult
for you, Ted.

It shows your integrity.

Notwithstanding, I'm going
to have to consider

how it affects your position.

Of course, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Mr Akers, I'm DS Arnott.
DC Fleming you know.

Hi. Hi, Kate. Hi.

Come in.

You two seen each other since...
The funeral? No.

I'm, er... I'm very sorry
for your loss.

Jayne left for work as normal
that morning.

She didn't say anything
about there being anything

unusual that she had to do that day.

Did your wife ever discuss
the particular witness

she was dealing with?
Not a word. Jayne didn't do that.

DI Lindsay Denton. That a name
you ever heard from your wife?

No.

According to your wife's
phone records,

she made a telephone call at exactly
8:43pm that evening.

That your number?

My mobile, yes.

Do you recall what she said?

She said that something
had come up at work

and that she was going
to be home late.

She said she'd call me later and let
me know how things were going.

That's all?

To the best of my recollection.

Thank you, Mr Akers. We know
this is a difficult time for you.

Your assistance has been valuable.

I'll see you out.

Sorry, Mr Akers.

If someone's in fear of their life,
a police officer,

then they do something about it.

Was there anything she said,
an unusual turn of phrase,

a name, anything, that might alert
someone to what was going on?

There wasn't, no.

Thanks again, Mr Akers.

A word.

You got something to say about the
interview with Akers' husband?

Writing up the statement
for the boss.

He's made me Deputy SIO

so I'll take a look at it
when it's ready.

Congratulations.

You're worried it doesn't fit, hmm?

Akers makes a random phone call to
Denton, and yet it's all Denton?

That's why we're
looking for connections.

Our side and your side,
and we haven't found one.

Have you seen the preliminaries
on the search of Denton's house?

Not one piece of incriminating
evidence.

But I'm guessing summat wasn't right
with Akers' husband?

HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS
Cup of tea.

Look, I've put in a request
for financial forensics for...

I've put in a request for financial
forensics for Akers' bank account.

If she was getting
paid for information.

Great minds think alike. Nice one.

Well, Denton's in custody.
How's the boss going to react?

Don't know, mate.

I'm not sure how I feel about
sending an innocent copper down.

I need my eight hours a night.

Steve, what was that?

Nothing. He's a twat.

Stephen.

Sir.

Shut the door.

Remain standing.

I've been trying to figure out the
best way of dealing with this matter

and frankly, I'd rather not have to.

And I don't fancy talking to this
nurse about what happened

between the pair of you.
So I'll start with you.

This isn't relevant
to our investigation.

Yes, it is, because we have
Denton on tape quoting the regs.

She was clutching at straws.
She'll say anything to undermine us.

Why don't you let me
be the judge of that?

The nurse isn't a witness against
Denton.

She's never even heard of her.

Did you have inappropriate
relations with a witness?

As I've said, sir,
she's not a witness.

Not our witness, anyway, and MVC
aren't charging her as an accessory.

So what are you saying, son?
What, she was fair game?

I'm saying I know the difference
between screwing up an investigation

and just screwing.

There's discreditable conduct and
there's just plain right and wrong.

Meaning? She was already under
threat for her little boy's life,

she was in protective custody.

If you've got a moral problem,
that's down to you.

There's nothing wrong
with MY morality!

I'm a single bloke and I've got
a normal private life.

With respect, sir, you need a better
reason for having this conversation.

How the hell are we supposed to
uphold standards

if you're running around town
not upholding them yourself?

That's my reason,
and it's a bloody good one.

I'm disappointed, son.

Go on, get out.

Another bollocking?
That's all I need.

No, I'll tell you
what you need. Come on.

So, this nurse, she fit, was she?

All right.

Well? Did you?

You need to brush up
your interrogation technique.

Don't look now, right...

What did I say about not looking?

There's a couple of birds
behind you.

Now, I'm not formulating a plan
or anything, but...

There's three of them.

I'm a bloody Detective Inspector,
I can see there's three of 'em.

There's always one who's got a
boyfriend, on her period or summat.

You were obviously off the day they
did gender awareness training.

Hey. I GAVE the gender
awareness training.

This is bloody weird, Dot.

What, me and you working together?
Well, yeah.

Well, that's Anti-Corruption, mate.
Beggars can't be choosers.

And this is all on me, by the way.
No, honestly.

We'll have no arguments.
First things first.

All right, captain.

Pop over there, yeah?

Ask those lovely ladies what
we can get them to drink.

No food, mind,
I'm not made of money.

PRISONERS CHANT: Bent bitch!
Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch! Bent bitch! Bent bitch!

Bent bitch!

DOOR BUZZES

Can you see it?

Hi.
You all right?

Yeah.

So there's a body?

We're taking it from here.
Sir?

Our crime scene.
You're joking.

It's our side of the investigation.

That floor was collapsing

because there's something underneath
it collapsing.

It's thanks to Kate the subsidence
was even noticed.
Well, top marks for that.

Sir, may I respectfully request any
findings be shared?

Send your request to my office
in writing.

Somebody will get back to you within
the next ten working days, OK?

Yes, please, ladies and gentlemen.
It's OK. I've got it.

Here it comes.

Call me later for initial forensics.

I've got it.

Let's go.

We're not making any announcement
about the body.

'You sure, sir?'

No. Not until we know how it fits
in with the overall investigation.

PHONE BEEPS

Sorry, Andrew, I've got
another call incoming.

'OK, boss.' We'll catch up
in the morning.

OK. Love to Liz and the kids. Bye.

Mike Dryden.
'Sorry, sir, it's Jo Rise.'

New Jo, hi.

'I'm afraid the Evening Herald
is going to run

'the speeding ticket story.'

I need to question you further in
regards to the industrial estate.

What were you really doing there?

I was investigating the
disappearance of Carly Kirk.

As I've already stated.

Ever been there before?

Consorted with individuals
connected with the place? No.

A body's been found buried under
the floor

of the old A&B Carriage Repairs
industrial unit.

Been there about two months.

And your presence was what,
a coincidence?

I was investigating the
disappearance...

The men who carried out the ambush
were the same men who used the nurse

to gain access to the hospital.

Same target, same clothing,
motorcycle gear.

They took the nurse to that garage,

the same place where the
girl's body was buried.

And you went there, too.

Now, if this was your case, would you
write those off as coincidences?

No. No. So, one way or another,
you're involved.

No.

The evidence is out there.
We will find it.

A girl. What age?

About 15.

Carly Kirk?

No ID yet, only initial forensics.
Why not?

Her face and finger pulps were
burnt off

using a high-temperature flame,
most likely a blowtorch.

Her teeth were removed, postmortem,
most likely with pliers,

preventing comparison of dental
records.

Cause of death?

Strangulation using some
kind of ligature.

Can her DNA be compared to Carly's?

There were control samples obtained
from her personal effects

when she disappeared.
They haven't been traced as yet.

They're lost?

It's just an admin glitch.

She was a nobody when she was alive.

And dead, she's still one.

Why are you so convinced it's her?

Because of a lead I was following.

The same lead that you think makes
out that I had to be in on it.

I was only searching for Carly.

Why? Of all the long-term mispers,
why her?

She was... She was only recently
disappeared.

There were leads.

I thought we'd find her.

I thought maybe there'd be some good
news for once in this job.

Ma'am, what's wrong?

Look.

It's tough in here, on anyone.

They told me about what happened to
your food.

Maybe you could make sure that you

only eat stuff out of a sealed
wrapper.

They said that you requested
a piano keyboard.

I'm sure that's something
we could look at.

If you can co-operate with our
investigation,

tell us things that we don't
already know,

there's all sorts we can do to
improve your situation.

I know why I'm in here.

Because I picked up a phone.

Because an officer in danger,
somebody I'd never even met before,

requested my help and I did what any
decent police officer would do.

Yeah, you did pick up a phone.
In a call box.

To speak to the nurse who was looking
after the target of the ambush.

And lied through your teeth
about it ever since.

That's the reason you're in here.

I shouldn't have lied.

I realised how incriminating it
sounded.

That I'd called the nurse.

So you're admitting it?

Yeah.

Yeah. So what is your connection
with the nurse?

None.

It didn't take a genius to work out
where the witness was being treated.

I made calls, always from phone
boxes.

Pretended I was from a recruitment
agency

asking for the names of nurses who
worked on the intensive care unit.

Why?

Because he had to know who was in on
it, who was after him.

I wanted to know if he'd spoken,

if he'd said anything that could
prove my innocence.

Is that the best you can
come up with?

It's the truth!
Well, it sounds...

What? Pathetic? Desperate?
Yeah.

I wasn't even supposed to
be on duty that night.

I was covering.

I did that a lot, for the inspectors
with families.

It was my way of trying to
get on, I suppose.

Pathetic. Desperate.

I need you to amend your statement,
ma'am, to go on record

with what you've just admitted
regarding the phone call.

I'm happy to.

Just as soon as you do the same.

Does the Deputy Chief Constable have
a statement to make regarding

the allegation about his speeding
offence in the Evening Herald?

The subject of this briefing is
the ongoing investigation

into the ambush in which three
police officers lost their lives.

Are you still the best
man for the job?

I will give a brief statement.

My wife and I strenuously
deny the allegation.

The fact that...in the midst
of what is clearly a complex

and controversial investigation,

the Herald chooses to trot out this
inaccurate slur... Will you resign?

Is your position untenable?
REPORTERS CALL OUT AT ONCE

Is your position untenable?

Have you still got the
chief constable's backing?

Makes a change from
a minging subway.

You all right?

Get you a drink?

No, I better not have any more.

Have mine.

What's wrong?

Rich Akers is hiding something.

On the night of the ambush,
he called me.

What'd he call you about?

A message from Jayne.

She needed to speak to me.

About moving the witness?

Why'd you hide it?

SHE EXHALES

Rich and I were involved
behind Jayne's back.

I didn't want it coming out.

Who else you told?

No-one.

Keep it that way.

You draw a line around it

and you walk away from it
like it never happened.

Steve... This'd be your career.

You see a life for yourself
outside the job?

No.

Richard Akers -
he won't blab about this?

He hasn't so far.

Good.

Down that, I'll get you home.

Lindsay Denton knows.

That's what all that business
was with your phone.

She went through my call history,
using it as leverage.

Your version of events is -
Richard Akers called you

because he was
worried about his wife.

It didn't materially affect
the investigation. End of.

Steve, that's a lie.

Maybe there are some people out
there who always tell the truth

and ones who always lie.

The rest of us choose our moments.

This is one of them.

The allegation about me
and my wife won't go away.

If you've thrown back a denial,

often there's a delay while
they get corroboration.

Screw them.

I've got a bigger story for you.

The person charged in connection
with the ambush,

the 36-year-old woman -

she's a police officer.

Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton
from the Missing Persons Unit

at 4th Street Station.

She led the convoy into the ambush...

..and conspired in the
witness's murder at the hospital.

'Is it correct that
Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton

'has been charged with
conspiracy to murder?

'I'm not going to be drawn into
elaborating on press speculation.'

God help me, when I find the leak,
I'm going to bury the bastard.

How'd they get this?

You must complete

and no more than 30 minutes each.

Bloody hell, Jen, quick!

You two, get away from her!

Have a seat.

Look, if anyone finds out,

we're for the high jump.

We'll sort out those two back there

and we can keep this
between ourselves?

Yeah, sure.

Cheers. You're a life-saver.

Fancy a cuppa?

Yeah, that'd be
really nice, thanks.

Jen, can you do the paperwork
and I'll do the brew?

No problem, Al. Lindsay...

Is it OK if I call you Lindsay?

Yeah, sure. Lindsay, could you
pop your hands on the table

next to this diagram
so I can have a look at them?

Milk, sugar?

Yeah. Milk, no sugar, please.

You've got a cracked nail.

Could've been worse, I suppose.
Thank God it wasn't!

SHE SCREAMS

You've been talking to AC-12.

From now on, you keep your gob shut.

SHE WAILS

Sir...

Thank you, Ted, but there's no need.
Hat off, at ease.

Sir.

I've considered the pros and cons
with no little deliberation.

You're in a vulnerable position.

An anti-corruption officer is more
likely than most to encounter

situations that place him
susceptible to bribery.

Sir.

However, coming to me as you did...

is a mark of your character.

This is...

possibly the most morally
complex investigation

this force has ever carried out.

I, for one, would feel
less confident of success

without your guiding hand
on the tiller.

I'd like you to carry on.

I don't know what to say, sir.

I haven't discussed
this with anyone.

I think the fewer people know
about your situation, the better.

Very grateful, sir. Thank you, sir.

Is there anything I can do to help?

No, no, sir, no.

The wife and I are
back on track, sir.

Good man, glad to hear it.

Charged anyone else while
our backs have been turned?

Very interesting question, sir.

Should I have?

Must be great up
there on that pedestal...

..all holier-than-thou.

All the further to fall, mind...

..when the truth comes out.

DOOR OPENS

Les. Sir.

DOOR OPENS

All right, boss. All right.

What you having?

Oh, it's my shout.

Pint of Kronenbourg. Ta.

I imagine I'm keeping you
from your busy social life.

Could do with a night off.

You seeing that nurse again?

Sir, you and I see certain
things differently.

That doesn't mean
there isn't respect.

Except for my personal views.

Some.

We were married at 18.

She was the only one.

And we waited.

Is that what you don't respect?

I spoke to you, sir,
in the wrong manner.

I apologise.

I'd be grateful if you could see
your way to putting it behind us.

You would, would you?

Well, I guess it'd be rude not to.

Don't want to be rude.

I disappointed you, sir.

Sometimes I disappoint myself.

Welcome to the club.

Are you in much pain?

Yes.

What've they said about your hands?

The medical officer doesn't know
how bad they'll be.

He's referred me to a specialist.

I'm sorry.

I heard there was a problem
with the CCTV recording.

Conveniently.

DI Denton, I'd like to take
a statement from you today

to be included in evidence,

regarding your amendments to earlier
statements given in evidence.

We had an agreement about that.

Are you aware the prosecution's

made a Public Interest Immunity
application?

It was brought up
at my bail hearing.

Well, it's been accepted.

They've got non-disclosure
of sensitive evidence.

Included in said sensitive evidence

is my call history.

They can't do that.

I was an undercover officer
gathering evidence against you.

Disclosure of my communications
history could jeopardise

undercover contacts and future ops.
That's just not true!

It's a cover-up!

Our legal team did their job.
I'm just here to do mine. Now...

in regards to the
phone call you made...

What, so your phone call
from Akers gets vanished?

Like the CCTV of me being
attacked by two inmates,

like those same
two inmates testifying

that I burned my own hands

and that the prison officers
tried to stop me?

SHE SNORTS

It suits everyone for me
to be silenced.

I'm taking your statement, aren't I?

Look, this attack -

it's opened my eyes.

I was set up to get involved
in the transfer of the witness.

The newspaper leak about me,
the attack,

and now the
non-disclosure of evidence -

it all makes sense,
even the screws are involved.

They said as much. They said what?

They said not to talk to you.

What, what we're doing now?

No-one appears to be stopping us.

No, but...

Look, you've been badly
shaken by the attack.

Maybe it's best I come
when you're feeling better.

No, wait.

Listen to me.

Don't you see how I've been set up?

Even down to the fact that AC-12

were prevented from looking
at witness protection.

All you could do was focus on me.

Now, only somebody at executive
level has that kind of power.

And the only person I told about
the operation was Mike Dryden.

You've lied through your teeth
throughout this investigation...

..and now you're
using an exec officer

as a way of tying us in knots.

No, that's not what is it! Really?

I know Mike Dryden.

You "know" him?

We had an affair.

Five years.

And?

And?

He didn't leave his wife, did he?

You gave him an ultimatum

and then it was all over.

You and I both know that
you don't have the right

to act superior over
our private lives.

Why are you only
telling us this now?

Because I don't know
myself if it's true!

Why would he do that to me?

I've done nothing to him.

If anything, I've protected him.

No, you're a woman scorned.

Not only do you get
your revenge on him,

but you use him as a way of
screwing up our investigation.

Do you believe that I'm guilty?

I just gather the evidence.
The courts decides. I get it.

I get it.

It's your way of
dealing with the fact

that you might be putting away
an innocent person.

I think you're guilty.

'Jan Evans. You left a message
regarding the 4th Street duty logs.'

Yeah. Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm seeking information regarding
the rota for duty inspector

at 4th Street Station on
the night of September 5th.

'You mean...'

Yeah, the night of the ambush.

'I have that information on file.
Please hold.'

Dot's up to something.

One minute.

'DI Denton covered the ghost rota

'as Inspector Barlow was
reassigned that night.'

Who was responsible
for that change?

'Hold one second.'

'Inspector Barlow received
an invitation to attend

'a session of the Crime Executive.

'It came directly from Deputy
Chief Constable Dryden's office.'

Great, thank you.

SHE SIGHS

What's going on?

Well?

We've got the financial
forensics back in.

Looks like Jayne Akers

was on the receiving end
of a substantial payment.

How substantial?

Upwards of 50 grand.

We need to include Kate.

Akers was her mate.

And Kate's my partner.

Steve!

Under Rule 46, vulnerable persons
must shower alone.

From the dispensers on the wall,

You must shower in no

Answering only "Yes" or "No",
do you understand?

SHE SIGHS
What is it?

Lindsay alleged she was set up
by another police officer.

I've gone back through her file

and she served with this officer for
nearly a year back when she was a DS,

working in crime audit.

He was a chief superintendent.

I've just taken a call from
one of the administrators

at 4th Street Station and...

..on the night of the ambush,

this particular officer
caused the rota to be changed,

the change that put
Lindsay Denton on duty that night.

He was a chief super?

What is he now?

Deputy chief constable.

It's Mike Dryden.

Oh, Jesus bloody Christ. Dot...

Yeah, I need a breather.

One wrong move and we could
all be directing traffic.

SHE SIGHS

Well? Steve?

All right.

But first I need to talk
to you about Jayne Akers.

You do not have to say anything.

'Tickety-boo.

'You sit there and you try and twist
some case out of my misfortunes.'

'Three of our colleagues have lost

'All I did was do my job.
It was no accident, was it?

'Three of our own in the

'No firearms? No backup!

'The officer plunged five floors
and is reported to have died.

'Denton, I am arresting
you for conspiracy...

'Take away the one
good thing in my life.
