Line of Duty (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Negative Pressure - full transcript

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 man's a young Ronan Murphy,

a suspect shot by Daniel
Waldron during Operation Damson.

What, they knew each other?

Did you fabricate the
improper relations between you



- and Detective Sergeant Arnott? - No.

Did you fabricate the planting
of evidence against you? - No.

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, erm, dinner invitation.

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

I think Danny Waldron purposely
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 that he did
to us at Sands View...

I promise you, I will get these bastards.

Bains killed Danny. I'll lay you
evens he killed Kennedy as well.

Hello? - '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. Well done.

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

Miss Denton.

I'm Gill Bigelow, legal counsel to AC-12.

I imagine they keep you VERY busy.

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.

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

Miss 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?

Er, 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.

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 doubts and 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 together

so the jury sees you as a wronged woman.

They obviously felt that I must
have shagged you into conspiring

- to murder a protected witness.
- Stephen!

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,

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,
erm, play it for everyone?

DS Arnott?

No.

Christ sake, Steve.

Well, I feel this meeting's
been remarkably successful

and I'll 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 closing 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 to you, sir, I
just don't think it's 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.

Anyway, 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.

It matches the other bribe money.

Are the exhibit officer's records
inaccurate or incomplete?

- That is NOT the issue!
- It's completely the issue.

I did not plant evidence.

If... IF I'd 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?

Look, he can be an irritating wee
gobshite when he wants to be,

- I'll give you that.
- I'll tell you why.

Because you personally recruited
him from counter-terrorism

and that means you having
to admit your misjudgment.

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 there are some people
who always tell the truth.

- The rest of us choose our moments.
- And that's what I had to do.

To ensure evidence was put in front
of a jury that would convict Lindsay

Denton of a crime we all know
she committed. - But we don't know.

The only person who really
knows is Lindsay herself.

We gather the evidence and the
people decide and they've decided

she didn't do it cos you
couldn't keep it in your pants!

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

It was an undercover 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.

Do you know what, Steve?
This is all a bit too late.

You should have told me the truth,

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.

Said item is a rope found hanging
from an overhead support.

Detective Inspector Cottan has
given us 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 far as the rope goes, he must
have planted it there beforehand.

He'll say anything to
save his own skin. - Yeah.

And why would an officer
of mine do such a thing, eh?

To frame me for Rod's murder.

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

I mean, anything at all?

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

a pair of 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

that covers your home address.

Three nights before the
murder of Danny Waldron,

a call was received by
one of these phones.

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 him.

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 for a short period

then discarded, is one we all
recognise from 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 we have you 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 going to 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.

Sounded like it was a
Londoner, south-east or summat.

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

- I never met anyone, like.
- You've got to know more.

Times, places, other contacts.

Look, 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 were the ones that wanted Danny
dead. The job you did for them.

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

- I don't know why they wanted Danny dead.
- Look, who's behind this?

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

You've nothing further to say?

You've offered nothing new in this
interview to mitigate you being

charged with the following offences.
I therefore have the authority...

- Well, we got the bastard.
- Yeah. They should throw away the key.

.. of PC Roderick Kennedy.

Two, the murder of PS Daniel Waldron

and, three, the attempted
murder of DI Matthew Cottan.

Now, 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
Murder Squad in relation to

unsolved gangland murders,

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

Can't help you.

How many times are we
going to 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 going to 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
overrunning engineering work...'

Bastards!

Making all your money, are you, eh?

You bunch of bleedin' twats!

Eh!

You shitter!

You bunch of bastards!

Oh, here they are. Come on then!

Great.

They should rip it down.

Smash every brick away.

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

No-one's going to press charges.

Those bastards.

They're going to get
away with what they done.

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.

They were the bastards who were
organising it in the first place...

.. and anyone who 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.

Now, 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.

We 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 the residents.

Stephens-Lloyd denied the charges
and insisted he was being

victimised because he tried to raise
concerns about abuse at Sands View.

All other records have been lost.

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

The tribunal report's
existence is probably

an oversight by whoever has
been destroying records.

All we have so far is Stephens-Lloyd
alleging that a number

of individuals, many of whom
are in positions of authority,

were part of a network of abusers.

He referred to compiling
a list of names that he

passed on to the police
but it appears none of

Stephens-Lloyd's allegations
were investigated.

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

- No record. - No record.
- We'll keep looking.

- Find this social worker. - Sir. - Sir.

Terrific presentation, guys.

Honestly, really terrific.

Steve, before Danny died,
he tried to say something.

I thought he said "listen" and then
couldn't get any more words out.

Now I reckon what he said was "list".

Cheers, Kate.

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

- Er, 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.

It also 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.

Doesn't look as if anyone was actively

searching for Stephens-Lloyd.

The SIO at the time was
a DI Marcus Thirwell.

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.

Thanks. We'll be taking this from here.

- We've got an ongoing...
- It's ours now.

We'll keep you in the loop as best we can.

It seems like you're in
everybody's good books.

'Ticket number 41.'

Do you know how long I've been waiting?

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

You're taking the
piss! - Lindsay? - Yeah.

My name's Tammy.

I'm one of the multi-disciplinary
offender management team.

- Is this your first appointment? - Yep.

I'm ready to restart my life...

Lovely.

.. by rejoining the police service.

Bollocks to this!

Er... it says here that you were
acquitted of conspiracy to murder,

but found guilty of perverting
the course of justice.

Yes, I'm appealing against the conviction.

I'm going to clear my name.

You won't be able to rejoin the
police with a criminal conviction.

I told you, I'm appealing.

Have you actually checked
to see that I can rejoin?

No, I haven't checked.

Well, then, I would like to apply
to rejoin the police service.

I'm sorry, why are you
looking at me like that?

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

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

You're an offender,

which means there's no chance
you'll be able 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, erm,

I was a detective inspector,

so I've got a valuable skill set.

So, any news on them forensics?

Erm, 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 Linus Murphy's.

The final report states that 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 going to be easy.

You're going to 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 going to 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.

Yeah, well...

.. we've only just got started.

I would like the chicken liver pate

and the sea bass.

I'll be right back.

Thanks. And I'll have the soup
followed by the sirloin steak.

Medium well.

And...

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 to put something else on.

It's fine.

You hungry? Want to go out?

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

in 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 been doctored.

You didn't get any of this from me.

Well, well...

Who'd have thought?

What are you after?

You ever heard the name Ronan Murphy?

Why d'you ask?

Just thought you might
have heard the name.

Are you reopening my case?

Forget it, all right?

That's not why I'm asking.

Look, I don't expect you to care, Steve,

but I'm never, ever going to
get back to being that person

that I was before all this happened.

You know, 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...

Well, 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

and 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 a couple
of 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.

Tommy 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 child sexual
exploitation to come out

and 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 ample evidence that someone

was pulling Hari Bains' strings.

Using the exact same methods as the Caddy.

Voice contact only, multiple phones.

Yeah, but...

why couldn't 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?

Well, you're not at liberty.

Sir.

Well, I know exactly who
we should speak to first.

Who?

We'll be fine, thanks, Steve.

See, the thing is, mate,

no-one likes a partner
holding out on them.

So, where you taking me?

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

Well, 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?

Oh, well, 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.

"DC Cole 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,

a 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.

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 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? Hm?

The contacts in that phone.

The call history.

All in my past, mind.

Now, that isn't something
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...

.. with none of this hanging over you.

What's going on?

He's here.

Nige.

Now, the purpose of today's interview

is to re-examine a statement
provided voluntarily by DC Morton

on October 17, 2013.

This is document one 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 rack 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, then I passed it on.

I should have made that clear
in my original statement.

I'm extremely remorseful.

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

Oh, well, 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.

Oh, come off it, Kate.
Nigel's just trying to help.

Can we be sure?

Look, I know he's a mate and everything,

but he's a few months off retirement

and, between me and you, his
missus hasn't been too well lately.

Well, 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,

this time we get the bastard.

Yeah.

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 were to get into trouble
again, you'd return to prison.

- I'm never going back to prison. - Mm.

But you can't afford to lose that job.

What did you expect for ten quid?

I was trying to help you.

20.

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 Human Rights 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.

Where's Maneet?

Off sick, I heard.

Some forensics I've asked her to chase up.

It'll just have to wait.

Oh, 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.

Are you going to 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.

The fracture wasn't
consistent with a flat surface

like the hull of a boat. 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 donkey's years.

If Oliver Stephens-Lloyd did submit
a list of abusers at Sands View,

almost certainly it
would have gone to Vice.

Almost certainly.

Which makes the fact he was copied in

on Stephens-Lloyd's missing
persons and postmortem 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.

Very grateful for your time, sir.

Oh, 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.

If we may, sir, 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.

I mean, is there any reason
you might take an interest?

None at all.

Can you explain why you'd
be 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.

Well, 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?

Well, 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?

Well, 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
that we're talking about,

Oliver Stephens-Lloyd.

Sorry.

Well, Stephens-Lloyd claimed he
compiled a list of authority figures

who, with the collusion of staff,

conducted systematic abuse of
boys resident at Sands View.

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

Oh! Sorry.

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

Here he is!

- Hope I'm not too late.
- Spot on.

How you keeping, Ted?

Yeah, 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'll kill me if I let you off
the hook from her Victoria sponge!

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 going on

with Hastings showing
up at Fairbank's house?

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

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

It was masonic.

In 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 sometime
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 south-east 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 forensics source.

Sorry, gaffer,

but the finger's pointing
at one of our own.

All right?

SIM card?

It's all in there.

I don't know what to say.

That it, then?

Yeah.
