Line of Duty (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Breach - full transcript

Danny tried to say something.

Now I reckon
what he said was 'list'.

I've got a firearm in here.
No-one enter.

Investigating former Chief
Superintendent Patrick Fairbank

in respect of not adequately
investigating complaints

of child sexual exploitation.

JOE: The things
they did to us at Sands View.

Joe. It's OK.

Ma'am,
I'm requesting authorisation

on an undercover operation.

It'd be against
a fellow AC-12 officer.



DI Cottan set me up.

He must have planted the rope
there beforehand.

Weren't you supposed
to organise the postmortem?

He knew forensics
hadn't tested the envelope.

I don't want to get caught
between you and DI Cottan.

The Caddy is male, under 35.

A detective.
A London or Southeast accent.

COTTAN: I'm sorry, gaffer.

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

I have a number of concerns
regarding DS Arnott's conduct.

He's been bearing a firearm
around the office.

ARNOTT.
We signed the firearm back in.

I'm innocent. The question is...

are you?



He was accused of an improper
relationship with a suspect,

of planting evidence
against said suspect.

I did not plant evidence!

The best course of action
is for you to be suspended

from duty until these matters
can be addressed.

- SIM card'?
- It's all in there.

MORTON". The incriminating item
We got on you,

that's my only insurance.

I need to know
you've got my back.

- Oh, God, yeah.
- He's hiding summat.

That lead on Steve - it looks
like it's gonna pan out.

He really did plant
that money at Lindsay's.

There's no list here, Steve.

If there's not, Lindsay's
gonna get what's coming.

I thought it was Steve's car -
till I saw the registration.

I found Danny Waldron's list.

It didn't make sense for Danny

to make a hard copy of
the original that could be lost.

He'd make an online copy.

The VIPs who were abusing boys
at Sands View.

(Tyres screech)

100 grand, and you forget about
all of this, that list included.

- Why not just take the money'?
- Because I'm a police officer!

Do not send that message.

Let's see what they all think...

when I bring in the Caddy.

How long is this going to take'?

Patrick Fairbank,
some new information

has come to light
that we'd like to put to you.

PC Bindra'?

Document 27 is a transcript
of a professional tribunal

which took place
on 19th September, 1998,

in which Oliver Stephens-Lloyd
recorded he'd submitted

a list of names of abusers
at Sands View.

Not this list again.

I don't know anything
about any list.

Where is this new...

information?

I think we're done.

Actually, no, if you could
just keep your seat, please.

I think we're about to hear
some new evidence. Thank you.

For the tape, DC Fleming
has joined the interview.

Kate.

For the tape, I am showing
the interviewee a video capture,

Item KM F-4.

Who is shown in Item KMF-4'?

I refused to take pan
in any video identification.

You did, which meant
we were forced to use

a video capture
from your previous interview.

And we are legally entitled
to use this image because

your client was notified
he was going to be questioned

regarding an offence -
misconduct in public office.

In accordance with
paragraph 5, code D

of the Police
and Criminal Evidence Act,

Item KMF-4,

alongside
eight other video captures

of unrelated, similar persons,

was shown by an officer
independent of this inquiry

to a witness who was a resident

at Sands View Boys' Home
in the 1990s.

This witness identified KMF-4

as showing one of the men
who sexually abused him.

These politicians
and celebrities,

they couldn't have got away
with this time and time again

without the collusion
of police officers.

I mean, I kept asking myself,
over and over again...

how could they turn a blind eye'?

How could they allow
these things

to happen to these children?

Of course,
the answer's as plain as day.

They didn't turn a blind eye.

They were in on it!

I'm gonna take this.

This is a list of abusers...

...corroborating the names we've
already heard from our witness.

Ronan Murphy.

Linus Murphy.

Dale Roach.

Tommy Hunter.

And Patrick Fairbank.

Patrick Fairbank,
I am arresting you

for aggravated indecent assault

in that this offence
occurred before 1st May, 2004...

...with a child or children...

under the age of 13...

...perverting
the course of justice...

...and misconduct
in public office.

Sir...

Well done.

Well done, yourself.

Custody arranged at Polk Avenue.

You think you've got me'?

You haven't got a clue.

I hope you like the outdoors
because you

are gonna be directing traffic

till the end of
your sad little career.

(Whispers) Bitch!

This is Lindsay Denton.

Please leave a message
after the tone.

Shit!

DS Arnott. I need to report
the theft of my service vehicle.

Taxi!

Yeah. 5...

5 Kingsgate Apartments. Yeah.

DS Arnott. I need the key
to Lindsay Demon's room.

Sir.

(Police radio chatter)

Mother of God.

This is Lindsay Denton. Please
leave a message after the tone.

I know you nicked my pocketbook.
I don't know where you are...

(Click)

(Phone Off)

Armed police! Armed police!

I'm AC-12. I'm AC-12!

You, keep your hands
above your head!

- I'm police.
- Down on your knees!

- Just calm down. I'm police.
- Stop talking and stay still!

My ID's in my jacket. I'm AC-12.

Stop talking and stay still!

Lose the phone.

- Get everyone out.
- All right, everyone out!

You've got the wrong guy.

All clear, sir.

Def?

Steven Arnott, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of
murdering Lindsay Denton.

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.

- What's going on'?
- You know.

Just keep your mouth shut
till you get a lawyer.

Get him out.

DI Cottan, DS Arnott.

You all right
to book him in for me'?

You need to take
his clothes for forensics

before he goes in his cell.

Steven Arnott, I'm satisfied
that your arrest is lawful.

I'm authorising your detention
in this police station,

so we can secure and preserve
evidence in this investigation

and to obtain evidence
from you by questioning.

I will also speak to
an inspector

to authorise you being held
incommunicado at this time,

delaying your right to have
anyone told you're here

or to make any calls.

Do you understand?

DS Arnott, can you account
for your whereabouts

between 0800 and 1200 hours
on July 17th this year'?

I was at home.

This would be your home address,
Flat 5, Kingsgate Apartments?

Yes.

Who were you with'?

Between those hours,
I was alone.

And your girlfriend -

DS Samantha Railston -
where was she'?

Sam left early for work,
around 0630.

I was alone in the flat,
but I made phone calls.

They'll prove where I was.

Document 3 in your folders.

Document 3 is a photocopy
of item reference ASJ-S,

telecommunications record
for mobile telephone

07591152425

registered to Steven Arnott.

Three calls are shown.

Can you tell us what was
happening with these calls?

I'd realised Lindsay
had stolen my pocketbook.

I called her from my flat,

but it went straight
to her voicemail.

I went to her approved premises
to try and track her down,

but she wasn't there.
So I tried calling her again.

And the call to
the AC-12 switchboard?

To report the theft
of my service vehicle.

Thank you.

When was the last time
you saw Lindsay Denton alive'?

The night before. My flat.

Lindsay had a theory
that Danny Waldron

left a list of abusers
in a graveyard.

We were searching
online burial records for a name

that might have been a
memorable association for Danny.

She left my flat and
I went to the graveyard alone.

It must have been
while she was in my flat

that she took my pocketbook.

At this time, myself
and DI Cottan were carrying out

direct surveillance
on Steve Arnott's flat,

authorised by
Superintendent Hastings

under the Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

Noted.

We saw you and Lindsay split up.

After you left, she looked like
the cat who'd got the cream.

She sent you off
on a wild-goose chase,

while she cracked the case.

Cos actually Danny
had hidden the list online.

She found the list'?

HASTINGS: She did indeed.

You've got to hand it to her,
she got the job done.

DOT:
And she made a total mug of you.

And these phone calls
we've been talking about,

they're all around noon onwards.

None of them corroborate

you being in your flat
before that time.

The proprietor
of the internet café,

now, she reckons
she saw Denton leave

around 11.41130.

She didn't see where Denton went
or who she met

and we've no information
on her whereabouts

till her body
was discovered at 12:30.

But you were at home
all this time?

Yes, sir.

So what were you doing
all this time?

- DS Arnott'?
- I slept.

- You had a kip'? Seriously?
- I'd been up most of the night.

You didn't think of calling her
straightaway?

No, sir.

She'd sent you out on a fool's
errand, stolen your pocketbook.

DOT: I'd have been
after her like a shot.

You, you're stuck to your sofa
watching Homes Under The Hammer.

I got home late.

Sam - my girlfriend - and I,
we had a row.

I had some wine
and I fell asleep on the sofa.

I overslept.

Once I realised my pocketbook
was gone, I took action.

Still, you were sorely pissed
off with her, weren't you'?

DS Arnott
is simply stating the facts.

So you weren't pissed off
with her'?

In the early hours of the 17th,
I followed Mr Arnott

to the graveyard
of St Barnabas' Church,

in which he stated,

"lf there's no list here,

then Lindsay's gonna get
what's coming."

HASTINGS: Can you tell us
what you meant by those words'?

I was angry.

Angry with Kate,
angry with Lindsay.

I didn't mean anything.

But you do admit that
you were angry with Lindsay?

Those words go way beyond angry.

I didn't kill Lindsay.

At her trial, Lindsay testified

that there was a sexual
relationship between you.

The relevant section for
the transcript is Document 46.

I don't need a transcript.
She was lying.

Data retrieval
from Lindsay's mobile

resulted in detection
of the following file,

item reference MKJ-32.

For the tape,
I will now play MKJ-32.

(Beep)

ARNOTT: That OK?

(Heavy breathing)

BENTON: Yeah.

(Heavy breathing)

ARNOTT: You OK?

BENTON: Yeah.

(Heavy breathing)

- Yeah. Yeah.
- (Beep)

Do you recognise
the voices on this audio file'?

Me and Lindsay.

And can you tell us
where the recording was made'?

In her bedroom.

And were you aware that this
recording was being made'?

No, sir, I wasn't.

As DS Arnott
didn't give his permission,

the recording was illegal.

Still, it's not a nice thing
to do to someone, that.

Just another thing she did

to put a few more winds
on your clock, eh'?

Time and time again,
you denied any impropriety.

What you can't know is that we
were both almost fully clothed.

And the file's been abridged.
If it had continued,

you would have heard that we
stopped through mutual consent.

Stopped what'?

There was some kissing,
some touching.

Lindsay became upset
and I comforted her.

Sir, I give you my word,

Lindsay Denton and I
did not have sex.

Your word'?

Whatever your version is
of that audio file,

it sounds like you pair went
way beyond the professional,

and then she used it to
discredit your case against her.

I don't know many blokes who
wouldn't be angry about that.

And thanks to her accusations,

you were suspended, your career
potentially in ruins.

Now, for the tape,
on screen is Image 5.

Image 5
is a crime scene photograph

taken at 12:45 on July 17th

showing
the body of Lindsay Denton.

- Image 8.
- That's my car.

Image 8 is a crime scene
photograph showing the vehicle

in which Lindsay Demon's body
was found.

It's a dark grey Volvo S60.

HASTINGS:
You agree it's your car'?

As I've said, sir,
I reported my vehicle stolen.

FLEMING:
Document 6 in your folders.

Document 6 is a photocopy
of item reference IKL-1.

IKL-1 is the log
for service vehicles.

On July 1st
you signed out service vehicle

Foxtrot Juliet One Four
Romeo Charlie Zulu,

and it was never signed back in.

You should have,
the second you were suspended.

It's a perk of the job. Didn't
want to give up the motor.

So it's a matter of fact
that this vehicle

was in your possession
at the time of the murder.

- Someone stole the vehicle.
- You reported it stolen when'?

In the call made to
the AC-12 switchboard at 11:59.

But Lindsay was last seen alive

up to an hour earlier,
at the internet cafe.

Plenty of time for you to get
home and report your car stolen.

I reported the theft
as soon as I realised.

The car
must've been stolen earlier.

I see.

COTTAN: Document 7 is a copy
of the pathologist's report

following a postmortem
examination of Lindsay Denton.

Cause of death was a single
gunshot wound to the head.

Image 6 is a forensic photograph
of item reference NJC-4.

Item NJC-4
is a bullet found lodged

in the passenger-side trim
of service vehicle

Foxtrot Juliet One Four
Romeo Charlie Zulu.

NJC-4 has been identified

as a 9 X 19 millimetre
Parabellum round.

Image 13.

Image 13 shows
item reference SOS-Q.

808-9
is a service-issue firearm,

a Glock 17 pistol, serial number
November Mike 8494748.

The Glock 17 was found a
short distance from the vehicle

containing
the body of Lindsay Denton.

Document 11 in your folders,
also en screen.

Document 11 is the issue log
from South Ferry Armoury.

You will see a highlighted entry
en the morning of July 13th

relating to said Glock 17
serial number

November Mike 8494748.

Said firearm was never returned.

No. I returned my firearm

a few days
before Lindsay was murdered.

- Not according to the records.
- No, no.

I returned it. Ask them at
the armoury. They'll confirm it.

It's here in black and white,
son.

Do you always follow the regs
when it comes to firearms?

DS Arnott was seen bearing
a firearm within this building

that did not, in my view,

meet satisfactory
operational requirement.

On July 13th, I gave
DS Arnott a verbal warning

that he was in breach of Section
7 of the 1968 Firearms Act.

What forensics do you have
linking me to the crime scene?

Your car. Your gun.
Well, I'd say that's plenty.

Were my fingerprints on the gun'?

No fingerprints
were found on the firearm.

It appeared to have been wiped.

Right, so no prints.

Lindsay Denton
was shot at close range.

The vehicle interior shows

a substantial
blood-spatter pattern.

Did you find blood particles
on me?

At the time
of Steve Arnott's arrest,

his clothing was seized
for forensic examination.

There were no traces of blood
or gunshot residue detected.

Anyone with half a brain covered
in blood and gunshot residue

would dispose of his clothing.

- So where's this clothing?
- You tell us.

Why would I shoot Lindsay
in my own car?

I'd know the forensics
would be totally incriminating.

- Correct. They are.
- So I wouldn't have done it!

Come on, you were at the end of
your tether with Lindsay Denton.

She'd betrayed you,
manipulated you

and discredited you.
You weren't thinking straight.

So I used my service-issue
firearm that I left at the scene

and my registered
service vehicle?

- That's just stupid!
- You panicked.

You left your bullet and casing
and didn't dispose of the gun.

Then you cobbled together
some story

about your motor being nicked.

The only thing you didn't
make a hash of was the clothing.

That's not what happened.

Image 22 shows
item reference EDC-S

found in said service vehicle.

Can you tell us
what item EDC-S is'?

My pocketbook.

- The one stolen by Lindsay?
- Yes, sir.

So you went after her
to get it back,

things got out of hand

and, in your panic, you
didn't even remember to take it.

I didn't take it
because I wasn't there!

Yes, so you've said.
ls there anyone - anyone -

that we can talk to who will
bear witness to the fact

that you were at home during the
time of Lindsay Demon's murder'?

I had my issues with Lindsay
Denton - I can't deny that.

- But I wouldn't kill her.
- So you've said.

I didn't have that gun.

So if I didn't return it,

why didn't anyone
try and recover it'?

DS Arnott's asked
a very important question.

Yes, I admit, there was
a failure to do due diligence

on the pan of the officers
at South Ferry Armoury.

I've written to
the Strategic Firearms Commander

making my feelings
abundantly clear

and disciplinary action
will follow.

No-one realised because
I had returned the firearm!

Someone must have access
to the booking-out forms

and replaced the real one -

the one showing I surrendered
the gun - with a forgery.

This "someone" would have
to have signed out the same gun

that was used in the murder,
and where's the record of that?

Stolen, so no-one
can track who's got the weapon.

Let me get this straight,
DS Arnott.

What you're saying is that some
impostor acquired the firearm

and then tampered with the
paperwork to cover his tracks.

Yes, sir.
Obviously, the same person

who stole my vehicle
that morning.

So your defence is,
"It wasn't me.

It was some random impostor."

No. Not random.
To know it's extremely difficult

to steal
a service-issue firearm

but not all that difficult
to fake the paperwork,

that takes inside knowledge.

This was done
by a police officer.

But it's a piece of cake
to steal a service-issue vehicle

fitted with deadlocks
and immobiliser?

I have to say this is all
sounding a bit far-fetched, son.

There's a parallel in this case,
sir.

Ever since we started
investigating Danny Waldron -

first his shooting of Ronan
Murphy, then Danny's murder-

there have been holes
the evidence hasn't filled,

one of which is
the murder of PC Rod Kennedy.

Sir, this is a massive tangent.

DS Arnott knows
we have to charge or release.

- He's playing for time.
- DI Cottan was too quick

to close the investigation
into Kennedy's murder,

just as he was with
his inquiry into the Caddy.

He's doing the same thing here.

He's cutting corners, not
challenging evidence robustly,

and I'm suffering
for his negligence.

Sir, DS Arnott's
casting aspersions

for one reason and one reason
only - to discredit this case.

To get AC-12 taken off
the investigation against him.

It's what these coppers do when
you've got 'em bang to rights -

exploit their knowledge of
the system to tie us in knots.

I'd be really grateful

if we could just stick
to the issue in hand here,

which is the murder
of Lindsay Denton.

Thank you, sir. Now,
with respect to service vehicle

Foxtrot Juliet One Four
Romeo Charlie Zulu,

a forensic search
was carried out at the scene.

Image 43.

Interior of
service-vehicle boot.

Image 45.

Image 45
is item reference HGT-T.

Do you recognise HGT-T?

My gym bag.

Image 46.

Image 46 shows
the contents of HGT-T.

Sports clothing and trainers.

- Image 47.
- That was not in my bag!

What]? What is going on here'?

DS Arnott, please.

Image 47
shows item reference HGT-Q.

VCT-9 is an unregistered
pay-as-you-go mobile phone.

- Your phone, DS Arnott'?
- No, sir.

- "No, sir"?
- Someone put that there.

VCT-9 is a phone of the type

reportedly associated with
covert criminal communications.

That is not my phone!

So what is it doing
in your gym bag'?

DS Arnott denies
knowledge of the phone.

There's some irregularity
with the search.

My department
carries out its searches

to the letter of the law, fella.
The letter!

Document 19 in your folders.

For the tape,
this is a partial transcript

of Lindsay Demon's retrial.

At Lindsay Demon's first trial,

she was convicted
of conspiracy to murder

and the prosecution
hung on crucial evidence

found at her home address,
namely 50 grand in cash

that was linked
via financial forensics

to other bribes
employed in the conspiracy.

I didn't plant that money.

Image 49.

Image 49 shows
item reference vCT-11.

Now, vCT-11 is a £5 note.

Is that your £5 note?

I don't remember
having any money in the bag.

Not your phone.
Now it's not your money either?

I'm saying I don't recall if
I was carrying money in the bag.

Fair enough.

That was in the inside pocket.

It's only a fiver.
It's easy to forget.

Now, we ran forensics
on that £5 note.

Document 20 in your folders.

DC Fleming.

For the tape,
I'm referring to Document 20.

Document 20 is a photocopy
of an original report

made by
the Financial Forensics Unit.

Report Sierra Alpha/5657/15.

The summary reads:

"Pollen particles
detected on banknote VCT-11

show a close match
to pollen particles

detected on banknotes AJK-72."

AJK-72 is the item reference

for the £50,000
found at Lindsay Demon's home.

There is no way!

Look, that is not my money.

A second ago
you couldn't even remember.

There is no way
that I'd have money

from the same source
as Lindsay's bribe!

She knew
you planted that evidence.

She was
your most vociferous accuser.

- Maybe she was onto this.
- She wasn't onto any evidence.

She couldn't have known
about this.

- So you hid it from her'?
- I didn't mean it like that.

That money would be hard to come
by, but together with the phone,

this indicates a clear pattern
of corrupt conduct.

I am not bent!

This is obviously a very
difficult experience, Steve.

Would you like some time
alone with your solicitor?

- No.
- Very well.

But, you know,
can we all just calm down here

and not let our emotions
get the better of us'?

Sir.

So moving on,

in respect of another murder,
that of Sergeant Daniel Waldron,

have you any comment to make'?

Waldron was murdered
by Hari Bains.

Bains confessed
and he intends to plead guilty.

Well, Bains owed gambling debts
to the wrong people

and we believe they
contracted him to kill Waldron.

Indeed.

Significantly, Bains received
a call the night of 31 st May

from a phone
of the type found in your car,

the night before he shot
and killed Danny Waldron.

According to Bains, in
his statement made on June 30th,

the caller had
a London/Southeast accent.

- So'?
- So, was that you'?

That area
has such a small population,

it could only have been me'?

Kindly just answer the question,
please, DS Arnott.

Bains and I met leads of times.
He could identify my voice.

The call was clearly made
by another person unknown.

Yes, and you're familiar with

the putative corrupt
police officer

code-name...the Caddy'?

lam.

DI Cottan.

Sir.

Assimilation of
all credible witness testimony

based on direct contact
with said individual

leads to the following profile.

The Caddy is male.

He is almost certainly from
a working-class background

and grew up
in an urban environment.

He is probably under 35.

He is almost certainly
a detective.

He's trained
in covert operations

such as counter-terrorism.

And all ear witnesses
report the Caddy

as having
a London or Southeast accent.

- This is insane!
- God help me, I wish it was.

Sir, that's your evidence'?

A profile'?

We've more than just a profile.

Only the Caddy would've had
access to the same source of

bribe money found
at Lindsay Demon's house,

the same supply we found some of
in your service-vehicle boot.

(Whispers)

Would you like some more time,
DS Arnott'?

No.

DI Cottan originally volunteered
to investigate the Caddy

and closed the case prematurely

based on flimsy evidence
provided by an old colleague.

Yes. But we're not here
to discuss DI Cottan.

He's just looking at some angle
to discredit this investigation.

I intend to be heard, sir,
on the record.

Very well. That's your right.

DI Cottan, you carried out the
original inquiry into the Caddy'?

- I did.
- That wrongly identified

DC Jeremy Cole,
based purely on the testimony

of your former colleague
DC Nigel Morton'?

Yes, but Morton has
since revised his statement

and DI Cottan and DC Fleming

are reopening
that particular inquiry.

You also failed
to order a second postmortem

on the body of Rod Kennedy.

My email bounced back,
as well you know.

Sir, he's clutching at straws.

In the original inquiry into
the murder of Danny Waldron,

you led a search
of Waldron's flat.

As part of that search you found
an envelope addressed to me.

The forensics
that you failed to carry out

en the inside of that envelope
detected traces of ink and bleed

suggesting it contained
a note written by Danny Waldron

and presumably intended for me.

No note was ever found. Danny
Waldron saved his list online.

We only discovered later cos
you failed to pursue the lead!

I did not.

The note
had been in that envelope!

That's not
what was in the envelope.

Item reference MRC-1 .

Item reference MRC-1

is the envelope recovered
from Danny Waldron's flat.

And for the tape,
Mr Arnott is quite correct-

it does bear his name.

Item reference MRC-Z is
the contents of the envelope.

This item was entered into
evidence separately

for reasons
of internal security.

You will see in your folders

Document Appendix 1
refers to sequestered evidence.

Sequestration of evidence
was authorised by Gill Biggeloe,

leading legal counsel
to Anticorruption Unit 12.

This...

is what was in the envelope.

For the tape, I'm showing Mr
Arnott the sequestered evidence,

a white golf tee.

Steve Arnott.

Golf tee.

I think Danny Waldron
was trying to tell us something.

Have you got anything further
to add, DS Arnott'?

For the tape, the interviewee
is shaking his head.

Steven Arnott,
you will remain under arrest

for the murder
of Lindsay Denton.

I will now seek guidance
from the Crown Prosecutor

as to how to charge you
for said offence.

You will be taken
to a place of custody.

If you are not charged within
24 hours of the original arrest,

you will be released. However,

I will seek the authority
for a 12-hour extension.

Is all this understood?

Yes, sir.

Interview discontinued.

(Recorder switch clicks)

God help me if I ever get
a good night's sleep again.

DI Cottan,
my office, five minutes.

Sir.

You OK'?

That can't have been easy.
Well done.

Sorry.

Just when exactly
did you get the idea

of sequestering evidence
from me'?

Hm'? In 35 years, this has been
my worst day in the service.

And new this little incident
just about caps the whole let.

Was it your idea to go
behind my back or was it yours?

To be fair to DI Cottan,

he sought me out for guidance.

It was my decision

to sequester the evidence
from Danny Waldron's flat

because of its sensitive nature
in regard to a fellow officer.

It seemed a bizarre and
possibly meaningless find, sir.

- But I just had a feeling...
- Feeling'?

...that it might alert Steve.
And if it had have done,

we wouldn't have had
all this other evidence.

Oh, yeah, you're on very
thin ice with me, DI Cottan.

Are there
any other surprises in store'?

- I hope not, sir.
- I hope not too.

- Dismissed.
- Sir.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

At the time,
neither DI Cottan nor l

knew if the golf tee
was relevant.

Clearly,
recent events have created

- a more significant context.
- Clearly!

Yes,
I can see you're angry, Ted.

But the fact that you personally
recruited Steve Arnott

- did weigh on my decision.
- You decided I'd be biased?

At the time,
it felt like the right decision.

- Now, can we just calm down'?
- I am calm.

I'm totally bloody calm!

Look,
I know this is abysmal timing,

but former Chief Superintendent
Patrick Fairbank's legal team

are applying for the child sex
abuse charges to be dropped.

What'?

They're saying he repeatedly
stated in interview that, quote,

"I'm not as sharp
as I used to be."

Yeah, I know he said that.

They're saying an independent
physician should have examined

his intellectual fitness
for interview.

They're having his GP attest
he's got senile dementia.

He isn't fit to stand trial.

Mother of God.

DS Arnott has to be charged
or released today.

Don't delay your call
to the Crown Prosecutor.

Fine.

Thank you.

(Door closes)

Superintendent Hastings for the
Senior Crown Prosecutor, please.

Hastings - that's right,
like the battle.

(Knocking)

- Sir.
- Come in, come in.

Anything to avoid
making this call.

Listen, sir, before you call
the Crown Prosecutor,

there's some things
we need to discuss.

This is a favour to her,
not you.

Two minutes.

It's good to see you.

Is there anything I can do'?

You can say
you don't believe a word of it.

Of course I don't.

Sam...

My DCI has got me on desk duty.

She asked me outright
if I was in on it with you.

I'm innocent.

Yeah, I know.

You came.

I'm glad.

I'm sorry about the flat
being closed for forensics.

It's fine.
I'm at a friend's place.

They've got to release me
in a few hours,

so we can be back in soon.

Steve...

I'm sorry.

(Keys rattling)

So which one
were you looking at, originally'?

That one.

(Door closes)

You still haven't charged
Steve Arnott.

We need more time.

I know it's difficult
going after one of your own.

It's what we do for a living.

DC Fleming has caused me

to want to re-examine the
evidence against Steve Arnott.

Come on, Ted,
there's a mountain of evidence -

his gun, the car,

the money, the threat.

Motive, opportunity, means.

During the interview
with Steven Arnott, I identified

a number of issues
that merit further examination.

You want to believe that Steve's
innocent - of course you do.

But you're jumping to rash and
extremely damaging conclusions.

DC Fleming, please.

Ms Biggeloe,
you do not have to say anything,

but it may harm
your defence if...

- Excuse me'?
- Gill, this is necessary.

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.

It's been a long day and night.
Let's get a grip, Ted.

Did you furnish
Superintendent Hastings

with an intelligence file
relating to Ronan Murphy,

the suspect shot dead by
Sergeant Waldron on 13th May'?

I did.

And from who
did you obtain that file'?

Whom.

It was supplied to me
in confidence, and to reveal

the source would be a betrayal
of that confidence.

Gill, you're under caution.

It would help us enormously
if you could provide an answer.

Very well. Show her.

This is a signed authority from
Superintendent Summers at AC-S

for me to conduct
an undercover operation

- against AC-12 officers.
- When did this happen'?

I only found out this evening.

Under said authority, I obtained
evidence that this file

originated from DS Nicola
Rogerson at Major Violent Crime.

In a written statement,
DS Rogerson claims

that the file was requested
by an AC-12 officer.

Did an AC-12 officer
furnish you with this file

on condition of anonymity?

Yes.

DS Rogerson's copy of the file
did not contain the omissions

made to the one you received.

I was given that file
in good faith

and I completely deny
tampering with it.

No-one's suggesting you did.
What we're exploring here

is that the alterations were
made by said AC-12 officer.

Now, can you confirm the name
we've heard from Rogerson'?

Fine.

Detective Inspector
Matthew Cottan.

He brought you the golf tee.

So we assumed that he would have
brought you the file, good.

DC Fleming, would you kindly
excuse us for a moment, please?

Thank you, Kate.

You're barking up
the wrong tree.

Matthew Cottan has done
a first-rate job

of rooting out a bad apple.

- Gill.
- As for the file,

he knew we were
being obstructed,

so he obtained it through
unofficial channels.

Why didn't he
just give it to me'?

Because he was afraid

you'd give him a dressing-down
for acting improperly.

Gill.

Even after the time
we spent together,

you really don't know me,
at all.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

This is a video capture taken
from a traffic camera situated

on the Kingsgate Expressway
showing traffic at the time

indicated in the top
right-hand corner, 09:46.

Steve's car'?

At first glance, yes, but...

- Different reg.
- Correct.

Here are more traffic-camera
images. This same vehicle

captured travelling through
the city centre,

on traffic cameras
a few minutes apart.

Image enhancement has failed
to show who's driving.

Now here's a street map.

It shows the locations
of the vehicle

at times corresponding to
the exact times

of the traffic-camera images.

I'm now going to add the
location of the internet café

where Lindsay Denton was
last seen alive that morning.

Someone was driving the vehicle

to Lindsay's location
that morning.

Yeah.

Previous to the internet café,
Lindsay Denton was last seen

at her approved premises
the night before.

I'm going to add the location of
the approved premises.

There's an hour's delay

in the timeline of the vehicle's
movements, suggesting

it hung around the approved
premises during this time.

So, Lindsay was followed
to the internet café.

It looks like it, sir.

And, correct me if I'm wrong,
but this is the same time

that Steve says
that he was home alone?

Yeah, that's correct, sir.
Steve doesn't have an alibi.

So it could be him
driving that vehicle.

One final thing.

I've identified
this registration

as belonging to another make
and model entirely.

They're fake plates.

Well done. Well done. You'd
better get that wee one home.

And thanks very much
for coming in.

Why would Steve be driving
his own car with fake plates?

To hide his movements.

It doesn't make sense, sir.

She wouldn't have got in
the car.

If Steve turned up
with fake plates,

she would never get in.

Maybe she just didn't see it.

We all know Lindsay, sir.
She never missed a thing.

Hm.

Sorry, Kate, you couldn't
give us a hand with the lift'?

Yeah. Sure.

Off the record, DI Cottan put
pressure en me not to tell Steve

about the additional forensics

on the envelope found
in Danny Waldron's flat.

Cheers, Maneet.

(Lift door closes)

He's here, sir.

And'?

Well, I can't say
he's very happy.

(Sighs)

DC Morton,
would you mind coming with us'?

DC Morton'?

I'm not coming anywhere
till I get some assurances.

Assurances of what'?

Four things.

Im-mu-ni-ty.

Sir.

(Phone buzzes)

DI Cottan.

Questions about what, sir'?

And when do you want
to do this, sir'?

No. No, I'm happy to assist.

(Shaver buzzing)

All right.

Let's do this.

Morning.

A word to the wise.

Arnott or Cottan, if either
turns out to be a bad apple,

he's acting alone.

They can't be connected
to any wider conspiracy.

I see.

And Patrick Fairbank the same'?

His legal team have
a strong case.

His dementia precludes a trial.

He might have forgotten
some important details.

Exactly.

Or worse still...

...he might remember them.

What are you saying?

I finally understand why
you were appointed by the PCC.

I'm the loose cannon here.

If I see a bent copper,
I'll go after him,

irrespective of rank
or political expediency.

I'm not gonna apologise
for having one eye on PR.

Anticorruption
is a double-edged sword.

We need to find just enough bent
coppers to avoid accusations of

a cover-up, but not so many
that the public starts to wonder

if the police can be trusted.

So we let Patrick Fairbank
just slip through the net

because of all the peers
and the politicians

and the police officers
he might implicate?

Meanwhile, we go back to chasing

disc jockeys and, what,
game-show hosts?

- I'm just doing my job.
- And I'm doing mine.

And it's called nicking bent
coppers! And I don't care

whether it's one rotten apple
or the whole bloody barrel!

There's a line -
it's called right and wrong -

and I know which side...

...my duty lies.

So why don't you write a nice
letter of resignation to the PCC

or I swear to God,

I will drag you down
with the rest of them.

In last night's interview
of DS Arnott,

you produced a piece of
evidence, item reference MRC-Z,

namely the golf tee
in the envelope

found at Danny Waldron's flat.

I wonder if you could explain
in a little bit more detail

how you came by
this piece of evidence'?

I'm not sure I understand
what you're driving at, sir.

There were a half a dozen of you
on that search.

How come no-one else saw it'?

Did you swear them all
to secrecy or what'?

Oh, I see, sir. Er, no.

What happened was,
we detected an illegal firearm.

I sent an officer to bring
someone with firearms training,

urgently,
so as to secure the firearm.

I had the legitimate concern

it wasn't safe
or it was booby-trapped

and it was then I saw
the golf tee in the envelope.

So...

...with nor-one else watching you,

you seized
this piece of evidence?

Yes, sir.

Did you order forensics
on the golf tee'?

I did, but there were
no notable findings.

Did you order forensics
on the inside of the envelope'?

- Yes, sir.
- When'?

Well, this was something we
omitted in the first instance,

but rectified
as the inquiry progressed.

Did you put pressure
on a junior rank

not to disclose the forensics
to DS Arnott'?

Yes.

- Why'?
- Steve Arnott was

concocting accusations
I wasn't doing my job properly.

I didn't want to give him
any ammunition.

So...

you actually missed
a crucial piece of evidence.

Well...

Forensics detected ink and bleed
en the inside of that envelope.

That suggests there was
a blood-stained note inside.

There wasn't, though.

No ink or blood on the golf tee'?

So'? What'?
Danny Waldron must have put it

in there
after he'd removed the note?

Look, this note, some people
have been making

a mountain out of a mole hill.

If it was such an issue,

why didn't I just pocket
the envelope'?

No-one would be any the wiser.

Which I didn't do, by the way.

Maybe the envelope
had already been seen

by somebody else on the search
team, but the contents hadn't.

I found a golf tee.

I remained in the vicinity
of the firearm

until an officer arrived
to make it safe.

Now, if that note
went Walkabout,

it's because Danny Waldron
moved it before we got there.

In the end,
missing the forensics

made no difference
to the inquiry whatsoever.

That's one of the things
we're here to determine

and I'll be the judge of that,
thank you.

DC Fleming, moving on.

Item reference EGH-1.

EGH-1 is an intelligence file
on Ronan Murphy,

the suspect shot dead
by Danny Waldron.

It's where this whole inquiry
started. It omitted information

that would have
allowed us to connect

Ronan Murphy to known
high-ranking criminal

Tommy Hunter and the cover-up
of historic child sexual abuse.

DI Cottan, have you seen
this file before'?

Yes, sir.

And who provided you
with access to this file'?

You did, sir.

You see, my particular concern
here, DI Cottan...

...is if you were familiar
with this file

before I gave you access.

Do you have an answer,
DI Cottan'?

Yes, I was familiar
with the file.

Yes.

And how were you
familiar with it?

I acquired the file

from a former
Major Violent Crime officer

involved in the investigation
into the murder of Tommy Hunter.

DS Rogerson.

I then passed it over
to Gill Biggeloe.

Yet not to me'?

Not to DS Arnott'?
Not to DC Fleming'?

I wanted to avoid Steven Arnott.
I think we all know why.

That file had crucial pieces of
information removed

and held this inquiry back
for weeks.

Well, I'm sorry about that, sir,

but I took that file
at face value, in good faith.

And when we found out,
why didn't you say something?

You should have been shouting
that from the rafters, man!

No, sir. No.

I didn't have evidence. I didn't
want to alert them beforehand.

Alert who'?

Don't you see, sir'?

DS Rogerson is a former
girlfriend of DS Arnott.

I'm sorry, sir.
Weren't you aware

of the relationship between
Rogerson and Arnott'?

No. I wasn't.

You should have told him,
DC Fleming,

spared the gaffer his blushes.

The only person
known to have handled that file,

apart from DS Rogerson,

is you, not DS Arnott.

Well, the pair of them must have
hatched a plot to alter it.

DS Rogerson denies
altering the file.

Well, she would, wouldn't she'?

Look, it sounds to me
like this is

another one
to throw at Steven Arnott.

I'm still exercised by the fact
you didn't mention this sooner.

Well, I don't cast aspersions
on fellow officers

unless I can back it up
with hard evidence.

Unlike some I could mention.

DC Fleming'?

On screen, you'll see evidence

gathered in the case against
Harinderpal Bains,

Images 291 and 292, showing item
references MR-S and MR-4.

MR-S and MR-4 are unregistered
mobile phones

recovered from
Hari Bains's home.

Sir, what is this'?

One of our own is about to be
charged with murder.

I think we're entitled to ask
a few questions, don't you'?

Yeah. No, no, of course.
Whatever I can do to help.

These phones were provided
to Bains

and he used them to communicate
with the Caddy.

A similar one was recovered from
the boot of DS Arnott's car.

These are matters of fact in
the case against Steven Arnott.

I'm just making sure

we all understand the facts
as they stand.

We'll return to the phones
shortly.

Now, in last night's interview
of DS Arnott,

you stated that you'd attempted
to order

a second postmortem
en the body of PC Red Kennedy.

A search of email records
found no email from you

to the pathologist's office
requesting said postmortem.

DI Cottan'?

Yeah'?

Seriously?

Look, you know what the IT
system is like in this building.

If it's not on the server that
does not mean I didn't send it.

As a matter of fact, DI Cottan,

what I'm seeing here
is a pattern.

A pattern of failure
to discharge

your responsibilities
as a senior detective.

I mean, you should have been
chasing up that postmortem.

You're absolutely right, sir.
And what's worse is

Kate had made a specific point
of asking me an' all.

I was beside myself
when I realised

and I apologise unreservedly
for my error.

But you see, DI Cottan,
it raises

the distinct possibility that
you were somehow reluctant

to seek confirmation that
Kennedy wasn't a suicide,

that he was, in fact, murdered.

Well, I was very pleased
with that information, sir,

as it was instrumental
in our arrest of Bains,

for which I won a commendation.

Let's just stay with Hari Bains
for a second.

He levelled some very disturbing
allegations against you,

DI Cottan, wouldn't you agree'?

Which I strenuously deny and for
which there's zero evidence.

Yeah.

Well, we carried out a search
of your service vehicle.

What'?

Now I'm doing very well
to avoid blowing my top here.

- This is out of order.
- And, as you well know,

completely illegal under the
Police and Criminal Evidence Act

1984, as DI Cottan is neither

under arrest
nor charged with an offence.

Said illegality would only apply

if it was DI Cottan's
personal vehicle.

His service vehicle is owned
by the police and, as such,

we're entitled to search it
without any form of authority.

Still, in my view, we've reached
the point where either you step

or you caution my client.

DI Cottan, stay right there.

You do not have to say anything,

however, it may harm
your defence,

if you fail to mention something
under questioning

that you later go on
to rely on in court.

And, of course, anything you do
say may be used in evidence.

Thank you.

Now what the hell are you doing
searching my car'?

This is a signed authority from
Superintendent Summers of AC-S

to investigate AC-12 officers,

based on concerns
raised by DC Fleming.

Kate'?

Just doing our job here.
There's nothing personal.

Kate was obviously investigating
Steven Arnott, not me.

The, er, signed authority from
Superintendent Summers

is a bit like
Grandma's nightgown.

It covers everything.

DC Fleming, the search of
DI Cottan's service vehicle.

- If you please.
- Sir.

Service vehicle November Juliet
Zero Seven Zulu Foxtrot Whiskey

was examined forensically,
with one notable finding.

Item GBS-8 is a number of
synthetic fibres.

Comparison of fibres from GBS-8
and NTW-7

finds multiple chemical
correlations

that imply
a very strong likelihood

the materials derive from
the same original source.

"The same original source."

NTW-7 is the item reference
assigned to the rope

found at the industrial unit
where Hari Bains was arrested.

HASTINGS: The noose had been
in your boot.

The noose that you claimed

Hari Bains
was gonna hang you with.

What the forensics
are suggesting

is that you planted it there
in that industrial unit

to falsely incriminate Bains
for Kennedy's murder.

Bains had handled the rope
when he prepared the noose.

Bains and I had a scuffle.
He attempted to overpower me.

Fibres transferred onto me.

Those fibres were then
transferred into

my service vehicle the next
morning when I clocked on.

They were in the boot,
nowhere else.

The first thing I do
before I get in the motor

is sling my coat and briefcase
in the boot.

Now, if those fibres
were gonna end up anywhere,

that is exactly
where they'd be found.

Are you covering...

"for the real murderer
of Red Kennedy?

No, I'm not.

Were you involved in murdering
Rod Kennedy?

No. I wasn't.

(She clears her throat)

Returning to the mobile phones.

Happy to.

On screen, Image 104.

Image 104 shows item reference
KMF-13,

an unregistered mobile phone,

and item reference KMF-14

is a subscriber-identification
module.

Do you recognise these items?

No.

No'? I'll give you "no".

These items were submitted to us
in evidence by a witness

who alleges that they do,
or did, belong to you.

Well, then,
the witness is mistaken.

Analysis of said subscriber
identification module KMF-14

revealed no activity
since October 2014.

All communications up to
and including that date

appeared to relate to other
unregistered users.

Right, so you've got a phone
that doesn't belong to me

and a load of mysterious calls.

Pardon me if I don't see
the significance.

On screen, Image 909.

Image 909 is item reference
SJP-32.

It was detected
in the boot of a vehicle

found at the Edge Park Golf Club
in July of 2012.

The vehicle is registered to
Alex Campbell,

the alias being used at the time
by one John Thomas Hunter.

Now, it was known Tommy Hunter
used numerous such phones

to conduct
his criminal activities.

But this particular phone
is of interest to us,

because of a call made
on the 8th July of 201 2,

at around midnight.

It was from Hunter's phone
to yours.

And that's the significance,
fella, in black and white.

I've no connection
with this phone or SIM card

you've been given and certainly
no connection to Hunter.

So how come we're being told
this phone belongs to you'?

This witness you've got, I bet
he said he found this phone

in my service vehicle
a couple of years back.

Yeah, well, I can neither
confirm nor deny.

Yeah, but I can confirm
that he's sat on this

so-called evidence
for a long time.

I reckon he also told you
he conned me into taking

the wrong SIM card back
while he kept the real McCoy.

Yeah, well, as I said, I can
neither confirm nor deny.

Is there anything you've got
linking me to these items?

Hm'?

Something like
forensic evidence'?

I did leave my phone
in my service vehicle

and I was very grateful
when DC Morton -

and let's not be coy
about names - returned it to me.

Now, I've no idea where this
other SIM card has come from.

But DC Morton informed us
that it was you who induced him

to mislead the original inquiry
about the Caddy,

that it was you, DI Cottan,

who suggested attributing
the nickname

to a deceased police officer.

Well, that's just not true, sir.

It was DC Morton
who did the misleading.

He's the one that's been falsely
claiming disability benefits.

He'll say anything to cling on
to his pension, anything at all.

The man is a completely
unreliable witness.

DI Cottan, where were you
en the morning of July 17th?

You're asking me where I was

when Lindsay Denton
was murdered'?

100% that's what
she's asking you.

You need to demonstrate some
legal basis for that question

or I suggest you withdraw it
immediately.

Kate, bring up the next item
and the map.

Item references MB-1 to MB-5.

Traffic cameras captured images
of this vehicle

on the morning of
Lindsay's murder.

Identical make, model and colour
as Steve Arnott's,

but with different registration.

It was driven on the route

matching Lindsay's location
that morning.

The registration
proved to be false.

We're curious about
the logic here.

The logic?

Steve Arnott takes the trouble
to disguise the vehicle, but

no fake plates were found where
Lindsay's body was discovered.

Why would Steve remove
the fake plates

and then leave Lindsay's body

lying in the front passenger
seat for all the world to find'?

My hypothesis would be
Steven Arnott only meant

to abduct Lindsay Denton.
Something went wrong.

He killed her. He panicked.

Would Lindsay
really have got into Steve's car

if she'd seen it was displaying
fake plates?

Everyone makes mistakes.

Indeed we do, DI Cottan.

Are there any witnesses that saw
Steve's car being stolen,

as he claimed, hm'?

Any witnesses that saw
anyone else driving the vehicle?

I think these are questions
for Steven Arnott, not me.

DC Fleming'?

Steve Arnott insists
he returned his firearm

four days before
Lindsay's murder.

The booking-out officer
at South Ferry Armoury

corroborates Steve's story.

The booking-out officer's
covering his own arse.

Well, an impostor could have
obtained the murder weapon

and then forged the paperwork
to make it appear

that Steve Arnott's firearm
had the same serial number

as the murder weapon
and that he never returned it.

That's an interesting theory,
but it couldn't have been me.

I'm not an AFO. How would I have
obtained the murder weapon'?

The Caddy commands
a network of corrupt officers.

He does.

But Steve Arnott's the Caddy,
not me.

You've thought that
since before Lindsay's murder.

- Yeah.
- In fact, you made a call to me

the night before
Lindsay's murder.

You called me after you'd
observed Lindsay Denton

return to her approved premises.

- Yeah.
- At 15 minutes after midnight,

you called me from your mobile
and you said,

"That lead on Steve -
looks like it's gonna pan out.

He really did plant the money
at Lindsay's.

Sorry. I thought you'd want
to know

before it becomes
common knowledge."

HASTINGS: Did you make
that call, DI Cottan'?

Er... (Clears throat) Yeah.

Yeah. So what was that lead
that was gonna "pan out"?

Erm...

Well, it couldn't have been
the money in Steve's gym bag.

That wasn't discovered
until the forensics

carried out a search of the
service vehicle the next day.

Arnott was...
behaving suspiciously

and I wanted to give Kate
a heads-up

as they've been partners
for a long time.

Oh, that's very considerate
of you,

but I will ask you for a second
time, what was the lead'?

Erm...

I'd glimpsed some banknotes
in his gym bag.

I intended to investigate.

When did you see the banknotes'?

Earlier that day.

But how could you
have known that

forensics would connect them

to the money
planted at Lindsay's?

Er...

DI Cottan, were you able
to forewarn Kate

because you had
a scheme in mind

where you were gonna
plant that money

in Steve's service vehicle?

No. No. Absolutely not.

That's how the service vehicle
was stolen.

You cloned the key
and were plotting to use it

to plant evidence against Steve.

No.

No. Absolutely not.

DI Cottan...

I think we've earned the right
to ask you the question.

Will you kindly tell us
your whereabouts

between ten and eleven
that morning'?

Well, I really don't have
to answer that question.

Don't you?

This is a voluntary interview.

And I'm only cooperating
out of my lawful duty

as a police officer
to assist in a criminal inquiry.

Indeed you are. Indeed you are.

We can call a halt to
the proceedings right there

and leave this question hanging
over you and your career.

Or you can stick your hand up
and offer us an answer

and exclude yourself
from our inquiry.

It's entirely your decision.

Take your time.

(Clears throat)

I was at my flat.

I'd had a late night
on surveillance

and I needed to catch up
on some kip.

So you were in
during those hours?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Say that again.

You just said you were in
your flat. We have that on tape.

Er...

It's a very simple matter,
DI Cottan.

DI Cottan has answered.
Haven't you, DI Cottan'?

You've mentioned when questioned

something you later intend
to rely on in court

Yeah, look, I... Er...

Sorry. I may have
got that wrong.

Er... I just need to...

think, erm...

I'd been up...

late and...

Take your time.
Take your time.

Look, I... I...

I need to think about that one.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Maybe I could just check
my calendar?

Yeah, yeah.

You wouldn't have entered
my flat, would you, Kate'?

I mean, alone?

(Gun clicks)

Tend to this wounded man here,
quick!

MAN: Sir.
- Kate!

Someone start CPR!

I want this building
locked down!

- (Alarm pulsing)
- Open the door!

Don't move!

Give me your Glock.

There's a pick-up point.
It's all arranged.

(Tyres Screech, horn toots)

Two men, IC1, armed...

- Get back!
- Move!

Stop! Stop! Armed police!

Keep driving.
As fast as you can!

OK.

It looks like they're gonna
go left. Go with them.

Keep up with them.

- Keep going. Keep going.
- OK.

Right, drive on.

Shit.

Back. Back!

- (Mobile rings)
- Two males. One armed. IC1.

Dark hair,
six feet five inches tall.

(Continues ringing)

Kate'?

Suspects heading north
eff Kingsgate High Street.

North off Kingsgate High Street!

Kate, listen, maintain visual
contact, but do not approach.

We have an Armed Response Unit
on the way. Repeat.

- Do not approach
- Sir.

Armed police!

Drop your weapon!

Drop yours!

Kate, sit rep.

One suspect down.
Repeat. One suspect down.

Second suspect heading to
Moss Heath flyover.

Moss Heath flyover!

Kate, so which one of them
is still up and running'?

Dot.

- What can I do to help, sir'?
- Good girl. Get onto the SFC.

I need to know where those
armed response units are.

Strategic Firearms Commander.

Shit.

Drop your gun! Drop your phone!

Kate'?

Drop 'em! Hands over your head!

They're not here for you, then'?

Not yet. But they will be.

My advice?

- Run now, while you can.
- I am too knackered to run.

Drop the gun!

You went into my flat that
morning'? You saw I wasn't there?

Maybe. Maybe not.

When did you know'?

That'd be telling.

Well, now l see
why we never slept together.

It wasn't that I didn't want to.

Please go, now, while it's safe.

I get it. Steve Arnott's
the Caddy, so you can retire.

Yeah. Something like that. Yeah.

They picked you, groomed you,
guided your career.

You know everything.

What are you gonna do now,
just stop'?

What do you think
they're gonna do'?

There's only one way
you can put this behind you.

Kate, I know what I'm doing.

Patrick Fairbank.

They're saying he's gonna
get off the child abuse charges.

You know names, dates, places.

You know all about
monsters like him.

Confess.

Give us the names of
all the people that have ruined

all these people's lives, all
these monsters you've protected.

Do the right thing.

Confess.

Tell us everything.

Aah!

Go! Go!

(Tyres screech)

PC Bindra, AC-12. I am awaiting
the requested information.

Keep on, everybody. One of our
own is out there in harm's way.

I need to know what's going on!

Our officer is at
Moss Heath flyover.

We need a location
on those armed units, sir.

(Glass shatters)

(Car alarm beeps)

(Beeping continues)

- We need an ambulance.
- Armed police! Get back!

Get back!

(Groans)

Dot, drop the gun.
Put it down!

No!

(Sirens wailing)

Armed police! Drop your weapon!

- On the ground! Hands behind...
- I'm AC-12!

- Everyone, back!
- AC-12!

Everyone, get back now!

RAND: ..trauma. Request
urgent paramedic support.

- Request urgent armed support.
- (Whispers)

Get away from him!

I'm taking
his dying declaration.

Now, Sergeant,
you will stand down.

OFFICER: Suspect down.

Come on, Dot. Say it.

(Whispers)

Come on, Dot.

Fairbank...

Yeah.

(Keys jangling)

You're free to go.

Kate'?

Who else would it be'?

Thanks, mate.

Come on, let's get you home.

Shot, sir.

(Siren whoops)

- Congratulations, Kate.
- Thank you.

Very well done.

Thanks.

(Whistling)

MAN: Congratulations!

Steve.

Kate.
