Waking the Dead (2000–…): Season 5, Episode 12 - Cold Fusion: Part 2 - full transcript
I'm re-opening Cherry Tree Farm.
. .This doesn't mean Holmes
is innocent.
I just want the truth to come out.
Forget the DNA, we found his shirt
soaked in his wife's blood.
No, you didn't, Spence.
At three o'clock this morning,
your access card was used to gain
entry to the evidence room.
I don't believe Spence has got
anything to do with this.
The blood trace from Cherry Tree Farm
was destroyed in the fire.
Tom McQueen? Would he be worried
if any new evidence came to light?
They already had a mole so they
wanted me to set up an anti-Dunwell
group and cross-contaminate.
While you were spying on them you
saw who actually killed them. Right?
Somebody's trying to corrupt this.
Felix has got a match on
the Cherry Tree Farm DNA.
It's a Clifford Day, 50-years-old.
I'll pick him up now.
This programme contains
some scenes which some viewers
may find upsetting.
We need to contain you in here
for the moment.
I want to know how Felix Gibson is.
She's stable, sir. Anything else?
That's all we know, Doctor.
I'll leave you in here
but you will be locked in. Why?
You are categorised as contaminated.
We won't let you out
until we get the all-clear.
That's nice to know, isn't it?
What if we want to pee?
BEEPING
'Yes?' Council.
Mr Clifford Day? Yep.
DI Jordan, Cold Case Squad.
I'm arresting you for the murders of
Marcus Coulter and Jackie Holmes.
I just want to
know how Felix Gibson is, please.
Bastards!
You'd think they'd give you some
incontinence pads with these.
Does this look red to you?
No, it's fine.
Spence? Spence?
'Hello?' Can you hear me?
Yeah. I'm bringing him home.
No, there's no point. There's been
an explosion in the squad room. You
can't get in or out of the building.
What? It was a package
that was sent to you.
A package?
In a brown envelope?
GUNSHOT
Aaargh!
SECOND GUNSHOT
Spence?
Spence? What? What's happened?
I think I heard a gunshot.
HE RAPS ON DOOR
Hello!
Come on! Come on, move!
Hello! Open up!
I've got a car. Where?
Down there. Come on. Let's go.
Get up! Get up! Move!
Through the gates! What have I done?
HE COUGHS LOUDLY
I can't breathe. Hang in there.
Come on.
Hold on.
Come on. In you get.
TYRES SQUEAL
PHONE RINGS
'It just keeps ringing. '
Sir, I'm afraid I'm going
to have to take your phone.
We've got an officer down.
You have to get help.
Wait a minute. Who's in charge here?
Commander Drake is on his way.
Drake? You have an officer
in trouble?
Yes. What about Felix Gibson?
I can't get anybody's attention
here. I believe she's hanging on,
sir. I really don't know.
Please, I need your phone.
Why do you need this?
Because they can be used
as detonators without user
knowledge or consent.
You're not having my phone. Boyd!
You're NO T having my phone!
You've got a phone, he's got
a phone, you're not having my phone
until you get me a landline in here.
THEY ARGUE
Boys, for God's sake.
Thank you, sir.
OK. And don't you talk to me
about my team. About keeping calm.
Yes. Why didn't you
tell him about Spence?
What are the Anti-Terrorist
Operations doing here?
A bomb's gone off!
What are they doing
in the building?
For God's sake, Boyd,
stop being paranoid.
We're being followed.
It's the black SUV.
This is Detective Superintendent
Boyd, warrant number 176401.
I want to report an incident
and require back-up for a police
officer who is under attack.
Yeah. Shots have been fired
and the officer is down.
OK? It's at the residence
of Clifford Day.
Hounslow. That's all I know.
You can check it out, can't you?
And this requires a tactical
firearms unit, all right?
Do NO T just send a patrol car.
'If any of you experience any
difficulties breathing
'or notice unusual markings on your
skin, please notify me immediately. '
Thank you. 176401, yes.
OK. Tell me about Spence.
You don't think I'm being paranoid.
We've got the Anti-Terrorist
Operations turn up,
Drake heads them.
18 years ago, Drake headed
the Atomic Energy Constabulary.
He ran informers and agents.
Clifford Day worked for him. His
blood turns up at Cherry Tree Farm.
McQueen worked for the AEC.
He was the arresting officer. They
are all here. What do you think?
You're not paranoid. Thank you.
They're still behind us.
CAR HORN, TYRES SQUEAL
The engine's going. What?
I must have been hit.
Come on! Oh, God!
Come on! Get up!
PHONE RINGS
Tom McQueen? Yeah.
This is Detective
Superintendent Boyd.
Hello? Yeah. I'm still here.
Yeah. OK. OK. Look. . .Spencer went to
apprehend a suspect this afternoon
and I'm afraid he's got himself
into some trouble.
What kind of trouble? I don't know.
I'm not in a position to find out.
Right. What's the address?
Oh, God!
I can't. I can't.
I can't walk any more. I can't.
Commander Drake? Yes.
Lucy Johnson, Paramedic Silver.
Good morning. How far have we got
with diagnosing the chemical agent?
Samples haven't revealed any harmful
bacteria, living or dead. Ricin?
Ricin-binding antibody tests
were negative, we're testing for VX,
phosgene and sarin.
And the, er, the air safe to
breathe?
The mobile team are testing five
canisters but that'll take time.
And the other officers?
Initial tests haven't given us
anything.
Still waiting for blood tests
but we can't gauge a meaningful
presenting time.
I need to conduct some interviews.
Is there anywhere
that hasn't been contaminated?
The laboratory has an airlock so
there's a negative pressure.
Sir, I would urge you to stay out of
the building until we have
the all-clear. I haven't got time.
May I suggest you conduct your
interviews by phone? No, I need to
speak to these people face to face.
I think he's gone.
Who's trying to kill you?
I don't know.
Bollocks!
I could walk out of here right now.
Why don't you then?
Because I want some answers.
Lean forward.
Get in touch with my lawyer.
Lean forward.
HE WHIMPERS
Quiet, I'm gonna save your life.
OK. Lean back.
This is about Cherry Tree Farm,
isn't it?
What? Isn't it?
There's something
I don't understand, Stella.
What? You know you helped us
with the hard drive? Yeah.
After you left, we printed
off the command history.
And?
Well, for someone who says
they know a lot about computers. . .
you do realise you were going
down the route of deletion?
Oh, yeah. I was distracted.
Boyd came in. I had to rush.
Sure. There would have been
on-screen warnings about this.
Just, it looks like you
were trying to corrupt it.
That's not true.
You got data from it, didn't you?
It looks like it but you're not sure
about it? No, I'm sure. I'm sure.
Why would I destroy evidence?
Why would he make
something like this up?
Exactly. He's obviously confused.
No. He doesn't sound confused.
He's gonna get into trouble
for bringing the hard drive
from the Central Lab fire. So?
So maybe he's spreading blame.
Oh, how does him accusing
you spread the blame? I don't. . .
I was trying to help.
Right, so there's nothing in it?
Nothing. OK.
I'm Commander Drake.
What's her condition?
We need to get her to hospital, sir,
there's a limit to what we can do.
No hospital will take her until we
know what's contaminated her.
You'll just have to
do the best you can.
Any equipment you need, just ask.
Thank you, sir.
Sir, you need to see this.
What is it? This hard drive
was illegally removed from
the Central Lab crime scene.
By who? Dr Harry Barton. He's in
the interview room with the others.
What are you doing?
Find a phone.
Get a move on. I'm dying here.
Any change of condition, let me know.
Excuse me. Can I take this off now,
or do you want me to keep it on?
Yes, take it off.
Commander Drake.
Peter Boyd.
How is Felix? Well, we're
doing everything we can for her.
Meaning? Meaning we don't know
what she's been contaminated with,
therefore we just have to be patient.
I know how hard that can be.
Let's go in here.
Stella. . .
what Harry said. . . No.
OK.
Stop looking at me like that.
Just need your scrawl on this.
I don't have my glasses with me.
Sorry.
In your own time. It's just that
ATO's jurisdiction does not extend
beyond the contaminated package
and locating the people responsible.
I didn't imagine it would.
Well, you'll still have
overall operational command.
But, under the Prevention
of Terrorism Act,
my authority supersedes yours if
there's a conflict of interest.
To put it simply, Peter,
if this was my place,
I too would be truly pissed off,
so let's try to get along, eh?
And catch the bastards responsible.
Sounds like a plan. Good.
Now this package, er. . .
it was addressed to Spencer Jordan.
Mmm-hmm. Where is he?
I don't know.
Is it normal for you not to know
where your officers are?
It is if it's their birthday
and they have the afternoon off.
Ah, birthdays.
Tell me, has, er. . .
has anything out of the ordinary
happened in the last 24 hours?
You mean apart from
the chemical attack?
Yes, apart from that.
No.
That was a test of your
co-operation, Peter.
I'm sorry to say you failed.
What the hell are you doing?
Looking for a phone.
Let me save you the trouble.
They're all out. No, no, listen, no.
I was a GPO engineer.
I can fix things.
I have just placed
Harry Barton in custody
for removing evidence
from a crime scene.
Now he tells me that somebody
attempted an unauthorised entry
into your evidence room
at three o'clock this morning.
Mmm, that is right. Yes.
And that the main suspect was Spencer
Jordan, as it was his access card.
Access cards can be faked
or manipulated if you
have an overriding code.
Is there any reason at all
why one should believe
these implausible explanations?
Yes.
I trust Spencer Jordan.
Even though you heard only two hours
later that another forensic lab was
burned down, just 20 miles away?
Tell me, the evidence boxes,
had they been tampered with, opened?
Just the one. Cherry Tree Farm.
Cherry Tree Farm?
Wasn't Spencer Jordan the
arresting officer in that case?
Uh-huh.
Where is he now?
I've already told you. I, er. . .
Stop covering up for him, Peter.
I'm not.
Honestly. I don't know.
OK. OK.
Is there a phone socket?
Get the top off.
We need the top off this.
Hang in there.
Drag the top off.
We need the frame box, over there.
OK. Come on. You can do it.
You can do it.
You all right?
Yeah, leave that there.
The Book of Job. Any thoughts?
I need your input in this.
Well, give me my freedom
to manoeuvre and access to
my normal communications. . .
All right. Yes. OK.
You can have that. Thank you.
My officers want access to every case
file that Spencer Jordan has worked
on in the last two years. No problem.
Well, that's good, good.
PHONE RINGS
Drake.
Oh, that's great.
That's great. Thank you.
Good news.
It appears that the substance
used was essentially benign.
Benign?
Well, I haven't been
briefed entirely by my chem team
but they assure me that they think
Dr Gibson will pull through.
And will they tell Dr Foley
and DS Goodman?
As we speak. Good. Thank you.
So you are free to move around,
only I would ask that you and your
team stay within the building
until we sort this mess out.
This could be part of something
much bigger. We don't know.
Could be just a diversion.
The safest place to be is here.
I understand.
We both know you should have called
the cavalry about Spencer Jordan.
My guess is you wanted to have it out
with him man to man.
Yeah, I'm going to talk to him.
Can you give me assurance now
of your full co-operation?
Of course.
DOOR OPENS
Good news.
There's no present threat on
the chemical agent. Oh, great.
What do you mean exactly?
No idea. Commander Drake will
fill you in later.
We've organised some clothes for you.
Oh, great. Thank you.
PHONE RINGS
Yeah? Yeah, Boyd, it's McQueen.
So what's happening?
Yeah, I'm at Clifford Day's block
along with half the police
and paramedics in West London.
'I spoke to a neighbour who
said there'd been a shooting. '
Is Spencer involved?
Somebody was shot, that's all I know.
If I get any more,
I'll call you on this number.
Yeah, please. Thanks.
Got it?
Yeah.
Has he gone?
Well, maybe he wants us
to think he has.
Let's get out of here. No, not yet.
We've got to get out, man,
I've had it.
I need help. You'll
get help when we fix the phone, OK?
Hi. Hi.
Any news of Spence?
No. He's not answering his mobile.
I'm sure he can look after himself.
They've been through
everything in here.
I've got a report on Clifford Day.
Want to hear it? Yeah. Go on.
Early '70s, telecommunications
engineer with the GPO.
'77 accessory to murder
but case dismissed.
'79 conspiracy under the Data
Protection Act, bugging offices
of the Anti Nazi League.
And the arresting officer,
CI William Drake.
That's great. We've
got a connection on court record.
Yes, Drake argued leniency,
quote, ". .was thought to have been
manipulated by racists
"keen to exploit
his undoubted prowess in
electronics and surveillance".
We know from McQueen that
Drake was into that.
Yes, but how do you go
from surveillance
to double murder and mutilation?
No idea, but Drake must have
used Day to run Penny Coulter.
Drake knows that if Day finds out
we're re-opening the investigation,
he's going to start bargaining, so
he's going to get hold of Day and. . .
get rid of him before he squeals.
So poor old Spence was in the wrong
place at the wrong time. Yeah.
This end. This one? Yeah.
OK.
Anything? Nothing.
Try again.
DIAL TONE
Yeah.
Come on, come on,
come on. Come on, come on, come on!
'Hello? Cold Case Unit. '
DI Jordan. Get Boyd now, quick!
PHONE RINGS
Commander Drake, ATO.
Sir, it's Spencer Jordan. Spencer?
'Sir, I have a serious problem.
'I arrested a murder suspect in TW17
but was ambushed by a gunman. '
We're holed up in an industrial
estate, I don't know where.
We're routing your call through
the emergency service database.
It should throw us up an address.
Sir, please hurry, the man is armed
and my witness is seriously injured.
Hang in there, Spence, we're on it.
OK. Thank you.
Got a fix on their location,
Brady's Warehouse, Jerwood Lane
Industrial Estate, TW17.
Shall I bounce it to Emergency
Services? No. There's a gunman.
I want an ATO tactical squad.
You want me to initiate that?
No, I'll do it.
You get into Spencer's PC. I want to
see what case he's been working on.
Yes, sir.
Where are you? 'I left the
party before the police came. '
Look, I told you.
There aren't any police.
Jordan's call came through here
to me.
OK, I'm sending the exact location. . .
e-mail to your PDA.
It's Brady's Warehouse, ground floor,
north side. Now just get on with it.
No excuses. Call me when it's done.
You know. . .
when I close my eyes at night. . .
I still see Jackie Holmes' face.
Me and my partner were the
first to arrive on the scene.
I was a kid.
I wasn't ready for
what I saw in there.
We found your DNA
at Cherry Tree Farm.
Your blood was at Cherry Tree Farm.
Did you kill Jackie Holmes
and Marcus Coulter?
No!
Christ, no!
So why was your blood at the scene?
There'd been a Shut Down Dunwell
meeting. . .
. .and my lords and masters
wanted a recording of Marcus
and Jackie's post-match analysis.
I'd taped the murders, Toby Holmes
making his wife beg for mercy.
But there was no warrant
for the bugs
so I had to get them out of there
before the regular plods found them.
So you went back?
Yeah.
One of my devices was in the light
fixture they'd strung her up to.
So I had to climb up there
and remove it.
With that in my face.
I snagged my thumb on the wire
that he'd tied her up with,
that's how my blood got there.
Where's the recording
of the murders?
I handed it to my MI5 contact.
Is that what paid for your
merchant banker's pad?
I earned my money
more than any merchant banker.
We sent more criminals down
in a year than you will
in your whole career.
So just you pay me some respect
and get me out of here.
We?
What?
You said,
"we sent down more criminals".
I had a mate who got me in and out.
And took care of
unexpected interruptions?
Why don't I hear any sirens?
No, no, no.
Let me get this straight.
Jackie and Marcus left the meeting
early because she was upset
after her husband turned up.
You couldn't have planned for that.
You weren't expecting that,
were you?
I told you what happened.
I don't think you were
taking bugs out.
I think you were putting them in.
Jackie and Marcus turned up early
and surprised you.
Your mate panicked and killed them.
That's what really happened,
wasn't it?
Wasn't it?
What's his name?
Forget it.
Do you want me to walk out of here?
Hmm?
Because if I do,
you're a dead man.
Either that guy out there's going to
get you or you'll bleed to death.
Now. . .
you tell me his name.
McQueen.
Yeah, Tom McQueen.
Your old partner.
He killed them,
cut her face off.
Happy now?
You're saying that Tom killed them?
That's what you're saying?
That's what I'm saying.
Why?
Where's the bloody ambulance?
Why?
You were right.
They came home early and caught us.
There was no way Tom was gonna
kiss his career goodbye.
And Jackie Holmes's face?
To frame the husband.
I heard he'd called her a slut.
Tom said it was too
good an opportunity to pass
up and we should go back.
GUNSHOT
Argh!
TWO GUNSHOTS
Can I speak to you, Commander?
Yes, of course.
This is all you, isn't it?
What do you mean?
Felix, Spence, the fire at
Central Lab. It's all you.
I don't give a toss about national
security or my bloody career,
I care about Spencer getting shot,
I care about Felix being in an
oxygen tent, and I helped make these
things happen. No, you didn't.
Harry knows I was corrupting
the drive.
Harry Barton is out of the frame.
Felix will confirm it anyway.
No, she won't.
There's no evidence.
It's been seen to.
It is all you.
It is all you.
You expect me to trust you
but you won't tell me anything.
How can I? When the little you know
causes you such problems.
Don't patronise me.
Difficult decisions have to
be made, whatever the cost.
Don't give me that
end justifies the means crap.
It's not crap,
it's an unpalatable truth.
One I thought you'd grasped.
Oh, Stella. My. . .
I'm not your Stella.
Not any more.
I need you to keep your nerve,
Stella.
If Boyd knew about all this,
he'd understand if I could just give
him the full picture.
So why don't you?
I'm going to Boyd. Fine.
What will he do when he finds out
he's got a spy in his own household?
Thank you, DC Goodman,
that's very helpful.
HE GROANS WITH PAIN
Take it easy. It's going to take
a while for you to recover.
TOILET FLUSHES
DOOR CLOSES
Are you spying on me, Grace?
"Thanks for your help, DC Goodman. "
How long have you known Drake?
I've looked in your CV.
You've never worked with him.
My father worked for him
at East Docks Station.
Well, you see, I didn't even know
your father was a police officer.
He was killed the year I was born,
when he was called to
a domestic disturbance. And Drake?
Bill Drake was my legal guardian.
MOBILE RINGS
After my father died,
my mother had no income.
Her English was terrible. . .
. .and Bill Drake came to our rescue.
He saw that we got something
from every police charity.
When we moved back to France, he put
down the deposit for our mortgage.
And now?
When I moved back to England
I lodged with them
while I figured out what to do.
And did he help you there as well?
My mother was so against
me joining the police.
I'd never have had the guts to go
through with it without his support.
So he's been like a second father
to you?
I suppose so.
And now is he using that
to his advantage?
Stella?
He told me it's in the public
interest that Clifford Day. . .
never steps inside a courtroom.
God! Did he say why?
No.
But you went ahead and did
it anyway? I tr. . .trusted him.
Explain that to Felix.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
Will you tell Boyd?
No. You will.
How are you feeling?
I've got the mother of all hangovers.
So what have they told you?
Well, the first tests suggest
the package only contained
a fluorinated hydrocarbon agent.
Is that good or. . . ?
Well, basically it's
a turbocharged anaesthetic.
Looks like they just wanted to
give Spencer a scare.
DOOR OPENS
Sir?
Yeah?
I said to Bill that we might
be looking at Cherry Tree Farm.
He said the foreign blood wasn't
the killer's but someone who'd done
a lot of covert work for the police
and, er. . .
could I help him remove
the evidence.
And that was enough
for you to betray us?
I didn't see it like that then.
Bill said this man's. . .
I don't want to talk about him,
I want to talk about you.
I know.
I have no excuse
but that I trusted him.
Even when he asked you
to destroy evidence?
Yeah.
I had no reason not to believe him.
He was like a father to me.
The history of what he was to you
is irrelevant to me, right?
You have every reason not to trust
me and ask me to walk out the door.
But I don't want to give up working
for you.
I'm sorry I let you down.
I hope you get the opportunity
to say that to Spencer Jordan.
And that you don't become
responsible for his death.
Come round here and pretend to look
at the computer. Come on.
Does Drake know where Spencer is?
I don't know. What's his
relationship with Day apart from
having arrested him 26 years ago?
I don't know.
We've got to find out.
Are you prepared to help us?
Yes.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Sorry, sir, I need a log-in code
for Spencer Jordan's PC.
Why? He was the target of an attack,
sir. We need to know why.
The SWAT team should be
there any minute, sir.
Should be where? When Jordan
called in, we got a grid reference.
Did Commander Drake not tell you?
Yeah, yeah. I just didn't
realise they'd get there so fast.
Where is it they're going? I've. . .
Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate.
TW17.
Ah, right.
There's nothing wrong with me. . .
You must stay in the building.
I just need to go now.
I need to go out.
THEY ARGUE
There is no chance. I need to go out!
Calm down. Calm down. I just. . .
I just need to go. Calm down.
I AM calm.
I need your help.
'Where is he?'
Day's not by himself.
Spencer Jordan
has gone to arrest him.
Now, I know you two go way back.
Just tell me where they are.
'Brady's warehouse,
Jerwood Industrial Estate, TW17. '
I'm sorry, sir.
No-one's allowed to leave yet.
You need to go back inside.
Where were you going, Peter?
You promised to send out a SWAT
team. It's been taken care of.
Call for a status update. If there's
any news, they'll let me know.
You can't make this go away.
Felix Gibson, the fire at
Central Lab, Cherry Tree Farm.
What's your point, Boyd?
Clifford Day was working for
you, you arrested him in
the '70s for illegal bugging. And?
We found his blood at the Farm.
Toby Holmes didn't kill Marcus
or Jackie, I think Clifford Day did
but I don't understand why you
covered up for him.
You're nowhere near it, Boyd.
Clifford Day never killed anyone.
His blood was at the scene. Or are
you telling me that he wasn't there?
Yes, he was there.
What, you've never
requested a listening device?
A not so kosher listening device.
Now, let me guess.
You phone up Special Branch
and ask for their help.
They say, "We'll see
what we can do".
But who do you think they phone?
Did you really believe that a
Special Branch officer with a career,
two children and a mortgage
was going to break into private
property, risk everything
and plant an illegal bug just to
help you with your investigation?
So why are you
trying to kill him now?
Because if he blabs,
all the scum that he has helped
put away are going to walk.
Is that what you want?
It's not because he knows what
happened at Cherry Tree Farm?
Because if he wasn't
responsible for the deaths. . .
who was?
Toby Holmes said he went to
Cherry Tree Farm on the night of
the murders around 11.30
and saw the bodies. Right.
He insists that Jackie Holmes's
face was intact.
OK. Well, there's no doubt
that Jackie Holmes was killed
before her face was cut.
What about the difference in time
between the two events?
Is it in the path report?
Not specifically, no, so I
assumed it was seconds or minutes.
Oh. . .
But I can look at the stills
and the report,
see if there's anything that supports
the facial injuries being
significantly post-mortem. Thank you.
That would be great. Thanks.
Do you know how long it took me
to become who I am?
The time it took for a jury to say
"not guilty"
about a man I knew to be as guilty
as sin. A dangerously evil man.
God bless the liberal justice system.
How many times have you
seen that, Boyd?
How many times have you had
the desire to destroy them,
a desire so overwhelming that
sometimes you'd think you were going
to be consumed by the fire of it?
Well, once was enough for me.
Let me tell you something.
There's no sensation like it,
when you look into
the eyes of your enemy
and you watch them realise
that you will do anything.
You play by their rules
and watch them slowly realise
they're finished.
It's what I do.
It's what I'm good at.
And now the front line's here,
our city.
That's all I have.
There's no wife,
no rose-covered cottage.
You've been commended for it.
Your record is exemplary.
Don't you play me, Boyd.
I've sacrificed everything for this.
You try telling that to Jackie
and Marcus.
They worked against the interests of
this country. I had to stop them.
What about the WPC who was
killed in the Central Lab fire?
It was an accident.
Collateral damage? Stuff happens.
Try explaining that to her son.
Don't get sentimental, Boyd.
If I break the bones of a terrorist
and stop 50 people from being
blown apart,
are you going to sit there
and tell me I'm wrong?
No. Or is it only wrong if the
man turns out to be innocent? Well,
someone's got to be there.
Someone
has got to make that decision.
It's not about saving lives,
we stand for something.
We have a moral, ethical position.
What's that, truth,
justice, the rule of law?
Bollocks! We do the best we can.
Sending Toby Holmes
to rot in jail for 18 years? !
I sleep at night. The man was
innocent and now he's in a hospital
for the criminally insane.
And what about Stella? She trusted
you and you betrayed her.
She has nothing to do with this.
She has everything to do with this.
And she'll testify to that.
She will never testify.
Even if it means jail. Unless you
kill her. You could do that.
You promised her family
that you would look after her.
Instead you've put her through hell.
What would her father think now?
You've made her the guilty party.
She broke the law for you
and now she will suffer
because of you.
What are you going to do about that?
What can I do?
I will do everything
in my power to make sure that no
action is taken against Stella.
If you promise to help me
find Spencer Jordan.
I'm waiving security protocol
for Detective Superintendent Boyd.
He's now under my
personal protection. Sir.
OK. As we know, Jackie Holmes had
her neck broken like Marcus Coulter.
And the mutilation to her
neck and face was posthumous.
The original pathologist suggests
it was minutes later. I'm not sure.
You mean it could have been longer?
Hmm. Yeah, there's subtle
sparring and mottling on her back.
What's sparring? It's where
the protruding parts of the body are
pressed up against a hard surface,
like a floor, and the blood is pushed
out from under the skin creating
the lighter patches. See here.
So? So, in order for this to happen,
the body would have to have been
lying there for at least two hours.
So, Toby Holmes could
be telling the truth?
Felix. . . Sorry.
No. Come in.
I thought I was. . .
I thought I was
doing the right thing.
I didn't want. . .
Sorry.
Trite as that sounds.
Yeah, you're right.
It does sound trite.
OK, so. . .
After the Shut Down Dunwell meeting,
Penny Coulter rings
Clifford Day to give him a report.
Now that would've included
the highlight of the evening.
Toby Holmes calling his wife a slut
and breaking his restraining order?
Oh, my God! What?
My father.
Stella, I had no idea your father
was the policeman who was killed
in the Mal Isaacs case.
We've been using the case
because of the similarity
of the facial injuries.
He also cut off his
wife's face to make a point.
I'm sorry, we just
didn't make the connection.
Isaacs was arrested on suspicion
of your father's murder
and the maiming of his wife.
He was interviewed by Detective
Sergeant Tom McQueen.
Spence?
Spence!
It's Tom.
Spence!
Tom. . .what are you doing here?
Did Boyd call you?
Yeah, that's right.
He said you were in trouble.
Am I glad to see you.
There's a gunman here somewhere.
No kidding. You got a phone?
I'm shot.
No reception.
Check again.
Nope.
Not even a bar.
How could you do it?
What, Jackie Holmes?
Yeah.
Clifford's been gassing, has he?
I thought he might.
She was dead.
What difference did it make?
I needed some clever shrink
to look at her and say
"the husband did that".
Worked a treat.
I didn't really know you
at all, did I?
Course you did.
You just chose not to look.
You know I've got to do this,
don't you?
McQueen! Leave him !
Going soft in your old age,
are you, Bill? Put the gun down.
Day's told him everything.
Put it down, Tom. It's all over.
I'm not going down, Bill. Whatever
happens, I'm not going down.
Come on, lad, give me the gun.
Don't call me lad.
McQueen!
Hang in there, Spence.
Hang in there.
You're OK.
HE DIALS
Come on. Come on.
'Hello, what service do you require?'
I need an ambulance, now.

. .This doesn't mean Holmes
is innocent.
I just want the truth to come out.
Forget the DNA, we found his shirt
soaked in his wife's blood.
No, you didn't, Spence.
At three o'clock this morning,
your access card was used to gain
entry to the evidence room.
I don't believe Spence has got
anything to do with this.
The blood trace from Cherry Tree Farm
was destroyed in the fire.
Tom McQueen? Would he be worried
if any new evidence came to light?
They already had a mole so they
wanted me to set up an anti-Dunwell
group and cross-contaminate.
While you were spying on them you
saw who actually killed them. Right?
Somebody's trying to corrupt this.
Felix has got a match on
the Cherry Tree Farm DNA.
It's a Clifford Day, 50-years-old.
I'll pick him up now.
This programme contains
some scenes which some viewers
may find upsetting.
We need to contain you in here
for the moment.
I want to know how Felix Gibson is.
She's stable, sir. Anything else?
That's all we know, Doctor.
I'll leave you in here
but you will be locked in. Why?
You are categorised as contaminated.
We won't let you out
until we get the all-clear.
That's nice to know, isn't it?
What if we want to pee?
BEEPING
'Yes?' Council.
Mr Clifford Day? Yep.
DI Jordan, Cold Case Squad.
I'm arresting you for the murders of
Marcus Coulter and Jackie Holmes.
I just want to
know how Felix Gibson is, please.
Bastards!
You'd think they'd give you some
incontinence pads with these.
Does this look red to you?
No, it's fine.
Spence? Spence?
'Hello?' Can you hear me?
Yeah. I'm bringing him home.
No, there's no point. There's been
an explosion in the squad room. You
can't get in or out of the building.
What? It was a package
that was sent to you.
A package?
In a brown envelope?
GUNSHOT
Aaargh!
SECOND GUNSHOT
Spence?
Spence? What? What's happened?
I think I heard a gunshot.
HE RAPS ON DOOR
Hello!
Come on! Come on, move!
Hello! Open up!
I've got a car. Where?
Down there. Come on. Let's go.
Get up! Get up! Move!
Through the gates! What have I done?
HE COUGHS LOUDLY
I can't breathe. Hang in there.
Come on.
Hold on.
Come on. In you get.

PHONE RINGS
'It just keeps ringing. '
Sir, I'm afraid I'm going
to have to take your phone.
We've got an officer down.
You have to get help.
Wait a minute. Who's in charge here?
Commander Drake is on his way.
Drake? You have an officer
in trouble?
Yes. What about Felix Gibson?
I can't get anybody's attention
here. I believe she's hanging on,
sir. I really don't know.
Please, I need your phone.
Why do you need this?
Because they can be used
as detonators without user
knowledge or consent.
You're not having my phone. Boyd!
You're NO T having my phone!
You've got a phone, he's got
a phone, you're not having my phone
until you get me a landline in here.
THEY ARGUE
Boys, for God's sake.
Thank you, sir.
OK. And don't you talk to me
about my team. About keeping calm.
Yes. Why didn't you
tell him about Spence?
What are the Anti-Terrorist
Operations doing here?
A bomb's gone off!
What are they doing
in the building?
For God's sake, Boyd,
stop being paranoid.
We're being followed.
It's the black SUV.
This is Detective Superintendent
Boyd, warrant number 176401.
I want to report an incident
and require back-up for a police
officer who is under attack.
Yeah. Shots have been fired
and the officer is down.
OK? It's at the residence
of Clifford Day.
Hounslow. That's all I know.
You can check it out, can't you?
And this requires a tactical
firearms unit, all right?
Do NO T just send a patrol car.
'If any of you experience any
difficulties breathing
'or notice unusual markings on your
skin, please notify me immediately. '
Thank you. 176401, yes.
OK. Tell me about Spence.
You don't think I'm being paranoid.
We've got the Anti-Terrorist
Operations turn up,
Drake heads them.
18 years ago, Drake headed
the Atomic Energy Constabulary.
He ran informers and agents.
Clifford Day worked for him. His
blood turns up at Cherry Tree Farm.
McQueen worked for the AEC.
He was the arresting officer. They
are all here. What do you think?
You're not paranoid. Thank you.
They're still behind us.
CAR HORN, TYRES SQUEAL
The engine's going. What?
I must have been hit.
Come on! Oh, God!
Come on! Get up!
PHONE RINGS
Tom McQueen? Yeah.
This is Detective
Superintendent Boyd.
Hello? Yeah. I'm still here.
Yeah. OK. OK. Look. . .Spencer went to
apprehend a suspect this afternoon
and I'm afraid he's got himself
into some trouble.
What kind of trouble? I don't know.
I'm not in a position to find out.
Right. What's the address?
Oh, God!
I can't. I can't.
I can't walk any more. I can't.
Commander Drake? Yes.
Lucy Johnson, Paramedic Silver.
Good morning. How far have we got
with diagnosing the chemical agent?
Samples haven't revealed any harmful
bacteria, living or dead. Ricin?
Ricin-binding antibody tests
were negative, we're testing for VX,
phosgene and sarin.
And the, er, the air safe to
breathe?
The mobile team are testing five
canisters but that'll take time.
And the other officers?
Initial tests haven't given us
anything.
Still waiting for blood tests
but we can't gauge a meaningful
presenting time.
I need to conduct some interviews.
Is there anywhere
that hasn't been contaminated?
The laboratory has an airlock so
there's a negative pressure.
Sir, I would urge you to stay out of
the building until we have
the all-clear. I haven't got time.
May I suggest you conduct your
interviews by phone? No, I need to
speak to these people face to face.
I think he's gone.
Who's trying to kill you?
I don't know.
Bollocks!
I could walk out of here right now.
Why don't you then?
Because I want some answers.
Lean forward.
Get in touch with my lawyer.
Lean forward.
HE WHIMPERS
Quiet, I'm gonna save your life.
OK. Lean back.
This is about Cherry Tree Farm,
isn't it?
What? Isn't it?
There's something
I don't understand, Stella.
What? You know you helped us
with the hard drive? Yeah.
After you left, we printed
off the command history.
And?
Well, for someone who says
they know a lot about computers. . .
you do realise you were going
down the route of deletion?
Oh, yeah. I was distracted.
Boyd came in. I had to rush.
Sure. There would have been
on-screen warnings about this.
Just, it looks like you
were trying to corrupt it.
That's not true.
You got data from it, didn't you?
It looks like it but you're not sure
about it? No, I'm sure. I'm sure.
Why would I destroy evidence?
Why would he make
something like this up?
Exactly. He's obviously confused.
No. He doesn't sound confused.
He's gonna get into trouble
for bringing the hard drive
from the Central Lab fire. So?
So maybe he's spreading blame.
Oh, how does him accusing
you spread the blame? I don't. . .
I was trying to help.
Right, so there's nothing in it?
Nothing. OK.
I'm Commander Drake.
What's her condition?
We need to get her to hospital, sir,
there's a limit to what we can do.
No hospital will take her until we
know what's contaminated her.
You'll just have to
do the best you can.
Any equipment you need, just ask.
Thank you, sir.
Sir, you need to see this.
What is it? This hard drive
was illegally removed from
the Central Lab crime scene.
By who? Dr Harry Barton. He's in
the interview room with the others.
What are you doing?
Find a phone.
Get a move on. I'm dying here.
Any change of condition, let me know.
Excuse me. Can I take this off now,
or do you want me to keep it on?
Yes, take it off.
Commander Drake.
Peter Boyd.
How is Felix? Well, we're
doing everything we can for her.
Meaning? Meaning we don't know
what she's been contaminated with,
therefore we just have to be patient.
I know how hard that can be.
Let's go in here.
Stella. . .
what Harry said. . . No.
OK.
Stop looking at me like that.
Just need your scrawl on this.
I don't have my glasses with me.
Sorry.
In your own time. It's just that
ATO's jurisdiction does not extend
beyond the contaminated package
and locating the people responsible.
I didn't imagine it would.
Well, you'll still have
overall operational command.
But, under the Prevention
of Terrorism Act,
my authority supersedes yours if
there's a conflict of interest.
To put it simply, Peter,
if this was my place,
I too would be truly pissed off,
so let's try to get along, eh?
And catch the bastards responsible.
Sounds like a plan. Good.
Now this package, er. . .
it was addressed to Spencer Jordan.
Mmm-hmm. Where is he?
I don't know.
Is it normal for you not to know
where your officers are?
It is if it's their birthday
and they have the afternoon off.
Ah, birthdays.
Tell me, has, er. . .
has anything out of the ordinary
happened in the last 24 hours?
You mean apart from
the chemical attack?
Yes, apart from that.
No.
That was a test of your
co-operation, Peter.
I'm sorry to say you failed.
What the hell are you doing?
Looking for a phone.
Let me save you the trouble.
They're all out. No, no, listen, no.
I was a GPO engineer.
I can fix things.
I have just placed
Harry Barton in custody
for removing evidence
from a crime scene.
Now he tells me that somebody
attempted an unauthorised entry
into your evidence room
at three o'clock this morning.
Mmm, that is right. Yes.
And that the main suspect was Spencer
Jordan, as it was his access card.
Access cards can be faked
or manipulated if you
have an overriding code.
Is there any reason at all
why one should believe
these implausible explanations?
Yes.
I trust Spencer Jordan.
Even though you heard only two hours
later that another forensic lab was
burned down, just 20 miles away?
Tell me, the evidence boxes,
had they been tampered with, opened?
Just the one. Cherry Tree Farm.
Cherry Tree Farm?
Wasn't Spencer Jordan the
arresting officer in that case?
Uh-huh.
Where is he now?
I've already told you. I, er. . .
Stop covering up for him, Peter.
I'm not.
Honestly. I don't know.
OK. OK.
Is there a phone socket?
Get the top off.
We need the top off this.
Hang in there.
Drag the top off.
We need the frame box, over there.
OK. Come on. You can do it.
You can do it.
You all right?
Yeah, leave that there.
The Book of Job. Any thoughts?
I need your input in this.
Well, give me my freedom
to manoeuvre and access to
my normal communications. . .
All right. Yes. OK.
You can have that. Thank you.
My officers want access to every case
file that Spencer Jordan has worked
on in the last two years. No problem.
Well, that's good, good.
PHONE RINGS
Drake.
Oh, that's great.
That's great. Thank you.
Good news.
It appears that the substance
used was essentially benign.
Benign?
Well, I haven't been
briefed entirely by my chem team
but they assure me that they think
Dr Gibson will pull through.
And will they tell Dr Foley
and DS Goodman?
As we speak. Good. Thank you.
So you are free to move around,
only I would ask that you and your
team stay within the building
until we sort this mess out.
This could be part of something
much bigger. We don't know.
Could be just a diversion.
The safest place to be is here.
I understand.
We both know you should have called
the cavalry about Spencer Jordan.
My guess is you wanted to have it out
with him man to man.
Yeah, I'm going to talk to him.
Can you give me assurance now
of your full co-operation?
Of course.
DOOR OPENS
Good news.
There's no present threat on
the chemical agent. Oh, great.
What do you mean exactly?
No idea. Commander Drake will
fill you in later.
We've organised some clothes for you.
Oh, great. Thank you.
PHONE RINGS
Yeah? Yeah, Boyd, it's McQueen.
So what's happening?
Yeah, I'm at Clifford Day's block
along with half the police
and paramedics in West London.
'I spoke to a neighbour who
said there'd been a shooting. '
Is Spencer involved?
Somebody was shot, that's all I know.
If I get any more,
I'll call you on this number.
Yeah, please. Thanks.
Got it?
Yeah.
Has he gone?
Well, maybe he wants us
to think he has.
Let's get out of here. No, not yet.
We've got to get out, man,
I've had it.
I need help. You'll
get help when we fix the phone, OK?
Hi. Hi.
Any news of Spence?
No. He's not answering his mobile.
I'm sure he can look after himself.
They've been through
everything in here.
I've got a report on Clifford Day.
Want to hear it? Yeah. Go on.
Early '70s, telecommunications
engineer with the GPO.
'77 accessory to murder
but case dismissed.
'79 conspiracy under the Data
Protection Act, bugging offices
of the Anti Nazi League.
And the arresting officer,
CI William Drake.
That's great. We've
got a connection on court record.
Yes, Drake argued leniency,
quote, ". .was thought to have been
manipulated by racists
"keen to exploit
his undoubted prowess in
electronics and surveillance".
We know from McQueen that
Drake was into that.
Yes, but how do you go
from surveillance
to double murder and mutilation?
No idea, but Drake must have
used Day to run Penny Coulter.
Drake knows that if Day finds out
we're re-opening the investigation,
he's going to start bargaining, so
he's going to get hold of Day and. . .
get rid of him before he squeals.
So poor old Spence was in the wrong
place at the wrong time. Yeah.
This end. This one? Yeah.
OK.
Anything? Nothing.
Try again.
DIAL TONE
Yeah.
Come on, come on,
come on. Come on, come on, come on!
'Hello? Cold Case Unit. '
DI Jordan. Get Boyd now, quick!
PHONE RINGS
Commander Drake, ATO.
Sir, it's Spencer Jordan. Spencer?
'Sir, I have a serious problem.
'I arrested a murder suspect in TW17
but was ambushed by a gunman. '
We're holed up in an industrial
estate, I don't know where.
We're routing your call through
the emergency service database.
It should throw us up an address.
Sir, please hurry, the man is armed
and my witness is seriously injured.
Hang in there, Spence, we're on it.
OK. Thank you.
Got a fix on their location,
Brady's Warehouse, Jerwood Lane
Industrial Estate, TW17.
Shall I bounce it to Emergency
Services? No. There's a gunman.
I want an ATO tactical squad.
You want me to initiate that?
No, I'll do it.
You get into Spencer's PC. I want to
see what case he's been working on.
Yes, sir.
Where are you? 'I left the
party before the police came. '
Look, I told you.
There aren't any police.
Jordan's call came through here
to me.
OK, I'm sending the exact location. . .
e-mail to your PDA.
It's Brady's Warehouse, ground floor,
north side. Now just get on with it.
No excuses. Call me when it's done.
You know. . .
when I close my eyes at night. . .
I still see Jackie Holmes' face.
Me and my partner were the
first to arrive on the scene.
I was a kid.
I wasn't ready for
what I saw in there.
We found your DNA
at Cherry Tree Farm.
Your blood was at Cherry Tree Farm.
Did you kill Jackie Holmes
and Marcus Coulter?
No!
Christ, no!
So why was your blood at the scene?
There'd been a Shut Down Dunwell
meeting. . .
. .and my lords and masters
wanted a recording of Marcus
and Jackie's post-match analysis.
I'd taped the murders, Toby Holmes
making his wife beg for mercy.
But there was no warrant
for the bugs
so I had to get them out of there
before the regular plods found them.
So you went back?
Yeah.
One of my devices was in the light
fixture they'd strung her up to.
So I had to climb up there
and remove it.
With that in my face.
I snagged my thumb on the wire
that he'd tied her up with,
that's how my blood got there.
Where's the recording
of the murders?
I handed it to my MI5 contact.
Is that what paid for your
merchant banker's pad?
I earned my money
more than any merchant banker.
We sent more criminals down
in a year than you will
in your whole career.
So just you pay me some respect
and get me out of here.
We?
What?
You said,
"we sent down more criminals".
I had a mate who got me in and out.
And took care of
unexpected interruptions?
Why don't I hear any sirens?
No, no, no.
Let me get this straight.
Jackie and Marcus left the meeting
early because she was upset
after her husband turned up.
You couldn't have planned for that.
You weren't expecting that,
were you?
I told you what happened.
I don't think you were
taking bugs out.
I think you were putting them in.
Jackie and Marcus turned up early
and surprised you.
Your mate panicked and killed them.
That's what really happened,
wasn't it?
Wasn't it?
What's his name?
Forget it.
Do you want me to walk out of here?
Hmm?
Because if I do,
you're a dead man.
Either that guy out there's going to
get you or you'll bleed to death.
Now. . .
you tell me his name.
McQueen.
Yeah, Tom McQueen.
Your old partner.
He killed them,
cut her face off.
Happy now?
You're saying that Tom killed them?
That's what you're saying?
That's what I'm saying.
Why?
Where's the bloody ambulance?
Why?
You were right.
They came home early and caught us.
There was no way Tom was gonna
kiss his career goodbye.
And Jackie Holmes's face?
To frame the husband.
I heard he'd called her a slut.
Tom said it was too
good an opportunity to pass
up and we should go back.
GUNSHOT
Argh!
TWO GUNSHOTS
Can I speak to you, Commander?
Yes, of course.
This is all you, isn't it?
What do you mean?
Felix, Spence, the fire at
Central Lab. It's all you.
I don't give a toss about national
security or my bloody career,
I care about Spencer getting shot,
I care about Felix being in an
oxygen tent, and I helped make these
things happen. No, you didn't.
Harry knows I was corrupting
the drive.
Harry Barton is out of the frame.
Felix will confirm it anyway.
No, she won't.
There's no evidence.
It's been seen to.
It is all you.
It is all you.
You expect me to trust you
but you won't tell me anything.
How can I? When the little you know
causes you such problems.
Don't patronise me.
Difficult decisions have to
be made, whatever the cost.
Don't give me that
end justifies the means crap.
It's not crap,
it's an unpalatable truth.
One I thought you'd grasped.
Oh, Stella. My. . .
I'm not your Stella.
Not any more.
I need you to keep your nerve,
Stella.
If Boyd knew about all this,
he'd understand if I could just give
him the full picture.
So why don't you?
I'm going to Boyd. Fine.
What will he do when he finds out
he's got a spy in his own household?
Thank you, DC Goodman,
that's very helpful.
HE GROANS WITH PAIN
Take it easy. It's going to take
a while for you to recover.
TOILET FLUSHES
DOOR CLOSES
Are you spying on me, Grace?
"Thanks for your help, DC Goodman. "
How long have you known Drake?
I've looked in your CV.
You've never worked with him.
My father worked for him
at East Docks Station.
Well, you see, I didn't even know
your father was a police officer.
He was killed the year I was born,
when he was called to
a domestic disturbance. And Drake?
Bill Drake was my legal guardian.
MOBILE RINGS
After my father died,
my mother had no income.
Her English was terrible. . .
. .and Bill Drake came to our rescue.
He saw that we got something
from every police charity.
When we moved back to France, he put
down the deposit for our mortgage.
And now?
When I moved back to England
I lodged with them
while I figured out what to do.
And did he help you there as well?
My mother was so against
me joining the police.
I'd never have had the guts to go
through with it without his support.
So he's been like a second father
to you?
I suppose so.
And now is he using that
to his advantage?
Stella?
He told me it's in the public
interest that Clifford Day. . .
never steps inside a courtroom.
God! Did he say why?
No.
But you went ahead and did
it anyway? I tr. . .trusted him.
Explain that to Felix.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
Will you tell Boyd?
No. You will.
How are you feeling?
I've got the mother of all hangovers.
So what have they told you?
Well, the first tests suggest
the package only contained
a fluorinated hydrocarbon agent.
Is that good or. . . ?
Well, basically it's
a turbocharged anaesthetic.
Looks like they just wanted to
give Spencer a scare.
DOOR OPENS
Sir?
Yeah?
I said to Bill that we might
be looking at Cherry Tree Farm.
He said the foreign blood wasn't
the killer's but someone who'd done
a lot of covert work for the police
and, er. . .
could I help him remove
the evidence.
And that was enough
for you to betray us?
I didn't see it like that then.
Bill said this man's. . .
I don't want to talk about him,
I want to talk about you.
I know.
I have no excuse
but that I trusted him.
Even when he asked you
to destroy evidence?
Yeah.
I had no reason not to believe him.
He was like a father to me.
The history of what he was to you
is irrelevant to me, right?
You have every reason not to trust
me and ask me to walk out the door.
But I don't want to give up working
for you.
I'm sorry I let you down.
I hope you get the opportunity
to say that to Spencer Jordan.
And that you don't become
responsible for his death.
Come round here and pretend to look
at the computer. Come on.
Does Drake know where Spencer is?
I don't know. What's his
relationship with Day apart from
having arrested him 26 years ago?
I don't know.
We've got to find out.
Are you prepared to help us?
Yes.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Sorry, sir, I need a log-in code
for Spencer Jordan's PC.
Why? He was the target of an attack,
sir. We need to know why.
The SWAT team should be
there any minute, sir.
Should be where? When Jordan
called in, we got a grid reference.
Did Commander Drake not tell you?
Yeah, yeah. I just didn't
realise they'd get there so fast.
Where is it they're going? I've. . .
Jerwood Lane Industrial Estate.
TW17.
Ah, right.
There's nothing wrong with me. . .
You must stay in the building.
I just need to go now.
I need to go out.
THEY ARGUE
There is no chance. I need to go out!
Calm down. Calm down. I just. . .
I just need to go. Calm down.
I AM calm.
I need your help.
'Where is he?'
Day's not by himself.
Spencer Jordan
has gone to arrest him.
Now, I know you two go way back.
Just tell me where they are.
'Brady's warehouse,
Jerwood Industrial Estate, TW17. '
I'm sorry, sir.
No-one's allowed to leave yet.
You need to go back inside.
Where were you going, Peter?
You promised to send out a SWAT
team. It's been taken care of.
Call for a status update. If there's
any news, they'll let me know.
You can't make this go away.
Felix Gibson, the fire at
Central Lab, Cherry Tree Farm.
What's your point, Boyd?
Clifford Day was working for
you, you arrested him in
the '70s for illegal bugging. And?
We found his blood at the Farm.
Toby Holmes didn't kill Marcus
or Jackie, I think Clifford Day did
but I don't understand why you
covered up for him.
You're nowhere near it, Boyd.
Clifford Day never killed anyone.
His blood was at the scene. Or are
you telling me that he wasn't there?
Yes, he was there.
What, you've never
requested a listening device?
A not so kosher listening device.
Now, let me guess.
You phone up Special Branch
and ask for their help.
They say, "We'll see
what we can do".
But who do you think they phone?
Did you really believe that a
Special Branch officer with a career,
two children and a mortgage
was going to break into private
property, risk everything
and plant an illegal bug just to
help you with your investigation?
So why are you
trying to kill him now?
Because if he blabs,
all the scum that he has helped
put away are going to walk.
Is that what you want?
It's not because he knows what
happened at Cherry Tree Farm?
Because if he wasn't
responsible for the deaths. . .
who was?
Toby Holmes said he went to
Cherry Tree Farm on the night of
the murders around 11.30
and saw the bodies. Right.
He insists that Jackie Holmes's
face was intact.
OK. Well, there's no doubt
that Jackie Holmes was killed
before her face was cut.
What about the difference in time
between the two events?
Is it in the path report?
Not specifically, no, so I
assumed it was seconds or minutes.
Oh. . .
But I can look at the stills
and the report,
see if there's anything that supports
the facial injuries being
significantly post-mortem. Thank you.
That would be great. Thanks.
Do you know how long it took me
to become who I am?
The time it took for a jury to say
"not guilty"
about a man I knew to be as guilty
as sin. A dangerously evil man.
God bless the liberal justice system.
How many times have you
seen that, Boyd?
How many times have you had
the desire to destroy them,
a desire so overwhelming that
sometimes you'd think you were going
to be consumed by the fire of it?
Well, once was enough for me.
Let me tell you something.
There's no sensation like it,
when you look into
the eyes of your enemy
and you watch them realise
that you will do anything.
You play by their rules
and watch them slowly realise
they're finished.
It's what I do.
It's what I'm good at.
And now the front line's here,
our city.
That's all I have.
There's no wife,
no rose-covered cottage.
You've been commended for it.
Your record is exemplary.
Don't you play me, Boyd.
I've sacrificed everything for this.
You try telling that to Jackie
and Marcus.
They worked against the interests of
this country. I had to stop them.
What about the WPC who was
killed in the Central Lab fire?
It was an accident.
Collateral damage? Stuff happens.
Try explaining that to her son.
Don't get sentimental, Boyd.
If I break the bones of a terrorist
and stop 50 people from being
blown apart,
are you going to sit there
and tell me I'm wrong?
No. Or is it only wrong if the
man turns out to be innocent? Well,
someone's got to be there.
Someone
has got to make that decision.
It's not about saving lives,
we stand for something.
We have a moral, ethical position.
What's that, truth,
justice, the rule of law?
Bollocks! We do the best we can.
Sending Toby Holmes
to rot in jail for 18 years? !
I sleep at night. The man was
innocent and now he's in a hospital
for the criminally insane.
And what about Stella? She trusted
you and you betrayed her.
She has nothing to do with this.
She has everything to do with this.
And she'll testify to that.
She will never testify.
Even if it means jail. Unless you
kill her. You could do that.
You promised her family
that you would look after her.
Instead you've put her through hell.
What would her father think now?
You've made her the guilty party.
She broke the law for you
and now she will suffer
because of you.
What are you going to do about that?
What can I do?
I will do everything
in my power to make sure that no
action is taken against Stella.
If you promise to help me
find Spencer Jordan.
I'm waiving security protocol
for Detective Superintendent Boyd.
He's now under my
personal protection. Sir.
OK. As we know, Jackie Holmes had
her neck broken like Marcus Coulter.
And the mutilation to her
neck and face was posthumous.
The original pathologist suggests
it was minutes later. I'm not sure.
You mean it could have been longer?
Hmm. Yeah, there's subtle
sparring and mottling on her back.
What's sparring? It's where
the protruding parts of the body are
pressed up against a hard surface,
like a floor, and the blood is pushed
out from under the skin creating
the lighter patches. See here.
So? So, in order for this to happen,
the body would have to have been
lying there for at least two hours.
So, Toby Holmes could
be telling the truth?
Felix. . . Sorry.
No. Come in.
I thought I was. . .
I thought I was
doing the right thing.
I didn't want. . .
Sorry.
Trite as that sounds.
Yeah, you're right.
It does sound trite.
OK, so. . .
After the Shut Down Dunwell meeting,
Penny Coulter rings
Clifford Day to give him a report.
Now that would've included
the highlight of the evening.
Toby Holmes calling his wife a slut
and breaking his restraining order?
Oh, my God! What?
My father.
Stella, I had no idea your father
was the policeman who was killed
in the Mal Isaacs case.
We've been using the case
because of the similarity
of the facial injuries.
He also cut off his
wife's face to make a point.
I'm sorry, we just
didn't make the connection.
Isaacs was arrested on suspicion
of your father's murder
and the maiming of his wife.
He was interviewed by Detective
Sergeant Tom McQueen.
Spence?
Spence!
It's Tom.
Spence!
Tom. . .what are you doing here?
Did Boyd call you?
Yeah, that's right.
He said you were in trouble.
Am I glad to see you.
There's a gunman here somewhere.
No kidding. You got a phone?
I'm shot.
No reception.
Check again.
Nope.
Not even a bar.
How could you do it?
What, Jackie Holmes?
Yeah.
Clifford's been gassing, has he?
I thought he might.
She was dead.
What difference did it make?
I needed some clever shrink
to look at her and say
"the husband did that".
Worked a treat.
I didn't really know you
at all, did I?
Course you did.
You just chose not to look.
You know I've got to do this,
don't you?
McQueen! Leave him !
Going soft in your old age,
are you, Bill? Put the gun down.
Day's told him everything.
Put it down, Tom. It's all over.
I'm not going down, Bill. Whatever
happens, I'm not going down.
Come on, lad, give me the gun.
Don't call me lad.
McQueen!
Hang in there, Spence.
Hang in there.
You're OK.
HE DIALS
Come on. Come on.
'Hello, what service do you require?'
I need an ambulance, now.
