FLEMING: Before Danny died,
he tried to say something.

Now I reckon
what he said was, "List."

I've got a firearm in here!
No one enter!

HASTINGS:
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.

FLEMING: Joe?
It's okay.

Ma'am,
I'm requesting authorization

on an undercover operation.

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

D.I. Cottan set me up.

As far as the rope goes,

he must have
planted it there beforehand.

What happened
with the postmortem?

Weren't you
supposed to organize it?

ARNOTT: He knew forensics hadn't
bothered testing the envelope.

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

COTTAN: The Caddy is male,
under 35.

A detective.
A London or South East accent.

I'm sorry, gaffer,

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

I have a number of concerns

regarding D.S. Arnott's
professional conduct.

He's been bearing a firearm
'round the office.

ARNOTT: I've signed
the firearm back in.

I'm innocent.

The question is, are you?

COTTAN:
He's been accused of having

an improper relationship
with a suspect,

of planting evidence
against said suspect.

I did not plant evidence!

We agree
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.

The incriminating item
I've got on you,

that's my only insurance.

COTTAN: 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.

DENTON: 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 list
that could be lost or destroyed.

He'd make an online copy.

The VIPs who were abusing boys
at Sands View.

[ Tires screech ]

100 grand and you forget about
all of this.

That list included.

Why don't you
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.

[ Beeps ]

How long
is this going to take?

HASTINGS: Patrick Fairbank,

some new information
has come to light

that we'd like to put to you.

P.C. Bindra.

Document 27 is a transcript
of a professional tribunal

which took place
on the 19th of 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'd
just keep your seat please.

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

For the tape, D.C. Fleming
has joined the interview.

HASTINGS: Kate.

For the tape, I'm showing
the interviewee a video capture,

Item KMF-4.

Who is shown in Item KMF-4?

I refused to take part
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

that he was going to
be questioned

regarding an offense --
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 appalling things

to happen to these children?

And 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 offense occurred
before May the 1st, 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 going to be
directing traffic

till the end
of your sad little career.

Bitch.

DENTON:
This is Lindsay Denton.

Please leave a message
after the tone.

[ Beep ]

Shit.

D.S. Arnott, I need to report
the theft of my service vehicle.

Taxi!

Yeah. 5...
5 Kingsgate Apartments.

Yeah.

D.S. Arnott. I need the key
to Lindsay Denton's room.

MAN: Sir.

[ Police radio chatter ]

Mother of God.

This is Lindsay Denton.

Please leave a message
after the tone.

[ Beep ]

I know you nicked
my pocket book.

-I don't know where you are --
-[ Click ]

[ Thud ]

-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 I.D.'s in my jacket.
I'm AC-12.

Stop talking and stay still.

Lose the phone.

Get everyone out.

MAN: All right,
everyone out!

You've got the wrong guy.

All clear, sir.

Dot?

Steven Arnott,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion
of murdering Lindsay Denton.

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

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.

I'm trying to do you a favor.
Get him out.

D.I. Cottan, D.S. 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 authorizing your detention
in this police station

in order that 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 authorize 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?

D.S. Arnott, can you account
for your whereabouts

between 0800 and 1200 hours
on July the 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,
D.S. Samantha Railston,

where was she?

Sam left early for work,
around 06:30.

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-3,

telecommunications record

for mobile telephone
07591 152 425

registered to Steven Arnott.

Three calls are shown.

Can you tell us what was
happening with these calls?

[ Sighs ]

I'd realized Lindsay had stolen
my pocket book.

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.

HASTINGS: 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 pocket book.

At this time,
myself and D.I. Cottan

were carrying out
direct surveillance

on Steve Arnott's flat,

authorized by
Superintendent Hastings

under the Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

Noted.

We saw you and Lindsay
split up.

Now, after you'd left,

she looked like the cat
who'd got the cream.

She sent you off
on a wild goose chase

while she went
and cracked the case.

'Cause actually Danny had hidden
the list online.

She found the list?

She did indeed.

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

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 caf --

Now, she reckons she saw Denton
leave around 11:00, 11:30.

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?

D.S. 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 to this graveyard
on a fool's errand,

stolen your pocket book.

COTTAN: 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.

As soon as I realized
my pocket book was gone,

I took action.

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

D.S. Arnott is simply
stating the facts.

Oh, right. 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,

"If 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.

HASTINGS: But you do admit that
you were angry with Lindsay?

Oh, 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.

[ Beeps ]

[ Heavy breathing ]

ARNOTT: That okay?

DENTON: Yeah.

[ Heavy breathing continues ]

ARNOTT: You okay?

DENTON: Yeah.

[ Heavy breathing continues ]

[ Beeps ]

Do you recognize the voices
on this audio file?

Me and Lindsay.

And can you tell us where
the recording was made?

In her bedroom.

HASTINGS: And were you aware
at the time

that this recording
was being made?

No, sir, I wasn't.

As D.S. Arnott didn't give
his permission,

the recording was illegal.

Still, it's not a nice thing
to do 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 you'd had the opportunity
to continue listening,

you'd 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.

COTTAN: Look, whatever your
version is of that audio file,

sounds like you pair went
way beyond the professional.

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

Now, 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 Denton's
body was found.

It's a dark gray 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.

COTTAN:
It's a perk of the job.

Didn't want to give up
the motor.

HASTINGS: So it's a matter
of fact that this vehicle

was in your possession
at the time of the murder.

The fact, sir,
is someone stole the vehicle.

And you reported it stolen when?

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

Yeah, but Lindsay was last seen
alive up to an hour earlier,

at the Internet caf.

Now, that is plenty of time
for you to get home

and report your car stolen.

I reported the theft
as soon as I realized.

The car must have
been stolen earlier.

I see.

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

following a postmortem
examination of Lindsay Denton.

And the cause of death

was a single gunshot wound
to the head.

Image 6.

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 9x19mm Parabellum round.

Image 13.

Image 13
shows Item Reference SCS-9.

SCS-9 is
a service-issue firearm,

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 on-screen.

Document 11
is the firearms issue log

from South Ferry Armory.

You'll see a highlighted entry
on the morning of July 13th

relating to
said Glock 17 serial number

November Mike 8494748.

Said firearm
was never returned.

ARNOTT: No.

I returned my firearm a few days
before Lindsay was murdered.

-Not according to these records.
-ARNOTT: No. No.

I returned it.

Ask them at the armory.
They'll confirm it.

It's here
in black and white, son.

You always follow the regs
when it comes to firearms?

D.S. Arnott was seen bearing
a firearm within this building

that did not, in my view,

meet satisfactory
operational requirement.

On July 13th I gave D.S. 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.
I'd say that's plenty.

Were my fingerprints on the gun?

There were no fingerprints found
on the firearm at all.

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.

COTTAN: Yes, but anyone
with half a brain

covered in blood
and gunshot residue

would know
to 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!

HASTINGS: Come on, you were
at the end of your tether

with Lindsay Denton.

She'd betrayed you,
manipulated you, deceived you,

and finally
she discredited you.

You weren't thinking straight.

So I used
my service-issue firearm

that I left at the scene?

And I used
my registered service vehicle?

I mean, that's just stupid!

You panicked.

You left your bullet
and the casing,

and you didn't do a good enough
job disposing of the gun.

Then you cobbled together
some story

about your motor being nicked.

In fact, the only thing
you didn't make a hash of

was the bloodstained clothing.

That's not what happened.

Image 22
shows Item Reference EDC-3,

found in said service vehicle.

Can you tell us what item
EDC-3 is?

My pocket book.

And is that 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!

HASTINGS:
Yeah, so you've said.

Is 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 Denton'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?

D.S. Arnott's asked
a very important question.

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

in the part of the officers
at South Ferry Armory.

But I've written to the
strategic firearms commander,

making my feelings on the matter
abundantly clear,

and I can assure you
disciplinary action will --

No one realized 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.

Yeah, but this same someone
would have to have signed out

the same gun that was used
in the murder.

And where's the record of that?

It's the same thing, sir --

stolen so no one can track
who's got the weapon.

All right, let me get
this straight, D.S. 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 service vehicle
that morning.

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

It was just
some random impostor."

No.
Not random.

To know it's extremely difficult
to steal a service-issue firearm

but not actually
all that difficult

to fake the paperwork,
that takes inside knowledge.

This was done
by a police officer.

COTTAN: Oh, but apparently
it's a piece of cake

to steal a service-issue vehicle
fitted with deadlocks

and an immobilizer?

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
that the evidence

hasn't completely filled,

one of which is the murder
of P.C. Rod Kennedy.

COTTAN: Sir, this is
a massive tangent.

D.S. Arnott knows
we have to charge or release,

and he's playing for time.

Sir, D.I. Cottan
was too quick

to close the investigation
into Kennedy's murder,

just like 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 the one suffering
for his negligence.

Sir, D.S. 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.

See, it's what
these coppers do

when you know you've got 'em
bang to rights --

exploit their knowledge
of the system

to try and tie us in knots.

Look,
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 crime scene.

Image 43.

Interior of
service vehicle boot.

Image 45.

Image 45
is Item Reference VCT-7.

Do you recognize VCT-7?

My gym bag.

COTTAN: Image 46.

Image 46 shows the contents
of VCT-7.

Sports clothing and trainers.

Image 47.

That was not in my bag!
What -- What is going on here?!

D.S. Arnott.
Please.

Image 47
shows Item Reference VCT-9.

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

HASTINGS:
Your phone, D.S. 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.

What the hell is it doing
in your gym bag?

D.S. Arnott denies any knowledge
of the phone.

There's clearly 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 Denton's retrial.

Now, at Lindsay Denton'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 any money
in the bag.

Fair enough.

It 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.

D.C. Fleming.

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 Denton'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

that was from the same source
as Lindsay Denton's bribe!

But Lindsay Denton knew
you'd planted that evidence,

and she was
your most vociferous accuser.

So maybe she was
onto this evidence too.

She wasn't onto any evidence.

I mean, she couldn't have known
about this.

Oh, right.
So you hid it from her?

I didn't mean it like that.

That money
would be very 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.
-HASTINGS: 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.

Yeah, 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 the 31st of May

from a phone of the type
found in your car.

The night before he shot
and killed Danny Waldron.

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

the caller had
a London/South East accent.

So?

So was that you?

London and the South East
have such small populations,

it could only have been me.

Would you kindly just answer the
question, please, D.S. Arnott?

Bains and I met loads of times.

He would have known my voice
and been able to identify it.

The call was clearly made
by another person unknown.

Yes, and you're familiar with

the putative
corrupt police officer,

code name the Caddy?

I am.

D.I. Cottan.

Sir.

Assimilation of all
credible witness testimony

based on direct contact
with said individual

leads to the following profile.

The Caddy is male.

The Caddy is almost certainly
from a working-class background

and grew up
in an urban environment.

He's 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 South East accent.

This is insane.

God help me, son,
I wish it was.

Sir, that's your evidence?

A profile?

COTTAN: Oh, we've more
than just a profile.

Only the Caddy
would have had access

to the same source
of bribe money

found at Lindsay Denton's house,

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

[ Whispering ]

Would you like
some more time, D.S. Arnott?

No.

D.I. 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 D.I. Cottan.

COTTAN:
He's just looking at some angle

to try and discredit
this investigation.

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

Very well.
That's your right.

D.I. Cottan, you carried out the
original inquiry into the Caddy.

I did.

That wrongly identified
D.C. Jeremy Cole.

Yes.

Based purely on the testimony

of your former colleague,
D.C. Nigel Morton.

Yeah, but Morton has since
revised his statement

and D.I. Cottan
and D.C. Fleming

are reopening
that particular inquiry.

You also failed to order
a second postmortem

on the body of Rod Kennedy.

My e-mail bounced back,
as well you know.

Sir, he's clutching
at straws here.

In respect
of the original inquiry

into the murder
of Sergeant Danny Waldron,

you led a search
of Waldron's flat.

I did.

And as part of that search,

you found an envelope
addressed to me.

Yes.

And the forensics
that you failed to carry out

on the inside of that envelope
detected traces of ink and blood

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.

Which we only discovered
weeks later

'cause you failed
to pursue this lead!

COTTAN: 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-2
is the contents of the envelope.

Now, this item was entered
into evidence separately

for reasons
of internal security.

You will see in your folders
Document Appendix 1.

It refers
to sequestered evidence.

Sequestration of evidence was
authorized by Gill Biggeloe,

leading legal counsel
to Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

This is what was
in the envelope.

Now, 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, D.S. 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 offense.

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.

[ Sighs ]

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

D.I. Cottan, my office,
five minutes.

Sir.

You okay?

That can't have been easy.

Well done.

Sorry.

Just when exactly
did you get the idea

of sequestering evidence
from me, hmm?

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

And now this little incident
just about caps the whole lot!

Was it your idea
to go behind my back?

Or was it yours?

To be fair to D.I. 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,

then we wouldn't have had
all this other evidence.

Oh, yeah, you're on very thin
ice with me, D.I. 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 D.I. Cottan nor I

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.

What? You decided that I was
going to be biased?

I'm sorry, but 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 that
he repeatedly stated

in his interviews that,

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

Yeah.
I know he said that.

They're saying that
an independent physician

should have examined
his intellectual fitness

for interview.

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

He isn't fit to stand trial.

Mother of God.

D.S. 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.

[ Knock on door ]

-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 favor 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.

Well, 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.

So which one
were you looking at?

Which one
were you originally looking at?

That.

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.

D.C. Fleming has caused me

to want to reexamine 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.

FLEMING: During the interview
with Steven Arnott,

I identified a number of issues
that merit further examination.

Of course you want to believe
that Steve's innocent.

Of course you do.

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

D.C. Fleming, please.

Ms. Biggeloe, you do not
have to say anything,

but it may harm your defense
if you do not mention --

Excuse me?

Gill, please.
This is necessary.

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

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.

FLEMING: Did you furnish
Superintendent Hastings

with an intelligence file
relating to Ronan Murphy,

the suspect shot dead
by Sergeant Danny Waldron

on the 13th of 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-3

for me to conduct
an undercover operation

against AC-12 officers.

I can see what it is.
When did this happen?

I only found out about this
this evening.

FLEMING: Under said authority,
I obtained evidence

that this file originated
from D.S. Nicola Rogerson

at major violent crime.

In a written statement,

D.S. 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.

D.S. 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.

Yeah, well,
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.

HASTINGS: [ Sighs ]

He brought you the golf tee,

so we assumed that he would have
brought you the file.

Good.

D.C. 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.

Yeah?
Why didn't he just give it 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 --
9:46.

Steve's car?

At first glance, yes, but...

-Different reg.
-Correct.

Here are more
traffic-camera images.

This same vehicle captured

traveling through
the city center

on traffic cameras
a few minutes apart.

Image enhancement has failed
to show who's driving.

Now here's a street map.

This street map shows
the locations of the vehicle

at times corresponding to
the exact times

of the traffic-camera images.

I'm now gonna 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.

BINDRA: Yeah.

And previous
to the Internet café,

Lindsay Denton was last seen

at her approved premises
the night before.

I'm now gonna 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?

Looks like it, sir.

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

that Steve said
that he was home alone.

Yes, 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.

HASTINGS: Well done.
Well done.

I think you 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'd have known
he was up to something.

-She would never get in.
-Maybe she just didn't see it.

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

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

Yeah, sure.

Off the record,

D.I. Cottan put pressure on me
not to tell Steve

about the additional forensics
on the envelope

found in Danny Waldron's flat.

Cheers, Maneet.

-He's here, sir.
-And?

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

D.C. Morton, would you mind
coming with us?

D.C. Morton?

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

Assurances of what?

Four things.

I-mmu-ni-ty.

Sir.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

D.I. 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?

We feel 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?

You see, I finally understand

why you were appointed
by the PCC.

I'm the loose cannon here.

You know,
if I see a bent copper,

I'll go after him irrespective
of rank or political expediency.

I'm not gonna apologize
for having one eye on P.R.

Anti-corruption 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 D.S. Arnott,

you produced
a piece of evidence,

Item Reference MRC-2,

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?

Well, there were 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.
Uh, 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 a legitimate concern
it wasn't safe

or it was booby-trapped.

And it was then that I saw
the golf tee in the envelope.

So...

...with no 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 D.S. 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 blood
on the inside of that envelope.

That suggests there was

a bloodstained note
inside the envelope.

There wasn't, though.

No ink or blood
on the golf tee?

HASTINGS: 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,

and 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,
D.I. Cottan,

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

D.C. 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,

and 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.

D.I. 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, D.I. Cottan,

is if you were familiar
with this file

before I gave you access.

Do you have an answer,
D.I. Cottan?

Yes, I was familiar
with the file.

HASTINGS: 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.

D.S. Rogerson.

I then passed it over
to Gill Biggeloe.

Yet not to me?

Not to D.S. Arnott?
Not to D.C. Fleming?

Well, 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
about the missing information,

why didn't you say something?

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

No, sir. No.
I didn't have the evidence yet.

And I didn't want to
alert them beforehand.

Alert who?

Don't you see, sir?

D.S. Rogerson is a former
girlfriend of D.S. 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,
D.C. Fleming,

spare the gaffer his blushes.

The only person
known to have handled that file

apart from D.S. Rogerson is you,
not D.S. Arnott.

Well, the pair of them
must have hatched a plot

to alter the file.

D.S. Rogerson denies
altering the file.

Yeah, well, she would,
wouldn't she?

Look, it sounds to me like

this is another one
to throw at Steven Arnott.

Yeah, well I'm still exercised
by the fact

that you didn't mention
any of this sooner.

Yeah, well, I don't cast
aspersions on fellow officers

unless I can back it up
with hard evidence.

Unlike some I could mention.

D.C. Fleming.

On-screen you'll see
evidence gathered

in the case
against Harinderpal Bains.

Images 291 and 292, showing
Item Reference MR-3 and MR-4.

MR-3 and MR-4 are
unregistered mobile phones

recovered from
Hari Bains' home.

Sir, what is this?

One of our own's 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 type of phone

was recovered from the boot
of D.S. Arnott's car.

Yeah, well,
these are matters of fact

in the case
against Steven Arnott.

Yeah, well,
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 D.S. Arnott,

you stated
that you'd attempted to order

a second postmortem on the body
of P.C. Rod Kennedy.

A search of e-mail records
found no e-mail from you

to the pathologist's office
requesting said postmortem.

HASTINGS: D.I. Cottan?

[ Exhales sharply ]

Sir? Seriously?

Look, you know what the I.T.
system's like in this building.

Just because
it's not on the server,

that does not mean
I didn't send it.

As a matter of fact,
D.I. Cottan,

what I'm seeing here is a --
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.

No.
You're absolutely right, sir.

And what's worse is
Kate had made a specific point

of asking me and all.

I was beside myself
when I realized,

and I apologize unreservedly
for my error.

But you see, D.I. 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.

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

He leveled
some very disturbing allegations

against you, D.I. 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 D.I. Cottan
is neither under arrest

nor charged with an offense.

Yes, well, said illegality
would only apply

if it was D.I. Cottan's
personal vehicle.

His service vehicle
is owned by the police,

and as such
we are entitled to search it

without any form of authority.

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

or you caution my client.

D.I. Cottan, stay right there.

You do not have to
say anything,

however, it may harm
your defense

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 at AC-3

to investigate AC-12 officers

based on concerns
raised by D.C. Fleming.

Kate?

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

Kate was obviously investigating
Steven Arnott, not me.

The signed authority
from Superintendent Summers

is a bit like
grandma's nightgown --

It covers everything.

D.C. Fleming,

the search of D.I. Cottan's
service vehicle, if you please.

FLEMING: 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 fibers.

"Comparison of fibers
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

in which he attempted
to overpower me.

Fibers transferred onto me.

Those fibers
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 fibers
were going to end up anywhere,

that is exactly where
they'd be found.

Are you covering for the real
murderer of Rod Kennedy?

No, I'm not.

Were you involved
in murdering Rod Kennedy?

No, I wasn't.

[ Clears 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 recognize these items?

-No.
-HASTINGS: "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 of July of 2012

at around midnight

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 I've 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, well, I can confirm

that he 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 held on
to 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?

Mm?

Something like
forensic evidence?

I did leave my phone
in my service vehicle.

And I was very grateful
when D.C. 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 D.C. Morton informed us
that it was you who induced him

to mislead the original inquiry
about the Caddy,

that it was you, D.I. Cottan,

who suggested
attributing the nickname

to a deceased police officer.

Well, that's just not true, sir.

It was D.C. Morton
who did the misleading.

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

Now, he'll say anything
to cling on to his pension,

anything at all.

The man is a completely
unreliable witness.

D.I. Cottan, where were you
on 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.

FLEMING:
Item Reference MB-1 to MB-5.

Traffic cameras captured images
of this vehicle

on the morning
of Lindsay's murder.

Identical make, model, and color
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 there were
no fake plates found

where Lindsay's body
was discovered.

I mean, 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?

Well, 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, D.I. Cottan.

Are there any witnesses

that saw Steve's car
being stolen, as he claimed?

Hmm?

Any witnesses that saw anyone
else driving the vehicle?

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

D.C. Fleming.

Steve Arnott insists
he returned his firearm

four days
before Lindsay's murder.

The booking-out officer
at South Ferry Armory

corroborates Steve's story.

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

Yeah, 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.
-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.
-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, D.I. Cottan?

Uh [Clears throat] yeah.

Yeah, so what was the lead
that was gonna pan out?

Um...

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

because 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, well,
that's very considerate of you,

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

Um...

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?

D.I. 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.

FLEMING: 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.

HASTINGS: D.I. Cottan,

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

Will you kindly tell us
your whereabouts

between 10:00 and 11:00
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.

Uh...

It's a very simple matter,
D.I. Cottan.

D.I. Cottan has answered.
Haven't you, D.I. Cottan?

You've mentioned when questioned

something you later intend
to rely on in court.

Yeah, look, I --
Uh...

Sorry.
I may have got that wrong.

Uh...

I just need to think.

Um...

I'd -- I'd been up late and...

Take your time.
Take your time.

Look, I-I, uh -- I need to think
about that one.

HASTINGS: Absolutely.
Absolutely.

Maybe I could
just check my calendar.

HASTINGS: Yeah, yeah.

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

I mean, alone.

Tend to this wounded man here!
Quick!

-MAN: Sir!
-Kate, you all right?!

Someone start CPR!

I want this building
locked down!

-[ Alarm blaring ]
-Open the door!

Don't move!

Give me your Glock!

There's a pickup point.
It's all arranged.

[ Tires screech ]

-Get back!
-Move!

Stop! Stop!
Armed police!

Keep driving
as fast as you can.

MAN: Okay.

It looks like
they're gonna go left.

Go with them.

Keep up with them.

Keep going.
Keep going.

Right.
Drive on!

Shit.

Get back!
Back!

-[ Cellphone rings ]
-MAN: Two males, one armed.

IC1, dark hair, 6'5".

Kate?

Suspects heading north
off Kingsgate high street.

North off Kingsgate high street!

Kate, listen to me.

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!

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

Dot.

What can I do to help, sir?

Good girl.
Get on to the SFC.

I need to know where
those armed response units are.

Strategic firearms commander.

Shit.

Drop you 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 I 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!

[ Engine revs, tires screech ]

P.C. Bindra, AC-12.

I am still awaiting
the requested information.

HASTINGS:
Be on, everybody.

One of our own's out there
in harm's way.

I need to know
what's going on!

Our officer's
at Moss Heath flyover.

We need a location
on those armed units, sir.

[ Tires screech ]

[ Car alarm blaring ]

WOMAN:
We need an ambulance!

Armed police!
Get back!

Get back!

Dot, drop the gun!

Put it down!

-No!
-[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

Armed police! Drop your weapon!
On the ground!

-Hands behind your head!
-I'm AC-12!

-Everyone back!
-AC-12!

Everyone get back now!

WOMAN:
...urgent paramedic support.

MAN: Request
urgent armed support.

Get away from him!

I'm taking
his dying declaration!

Now, Sergeant,
you will stand down!

Suspect down.
Believed to be...

[ Beeps ]

Come on, Dot.
Say it.

Come on, Dot.

Fairbank...

Yeah.

You're free to go.

Kate?

Who else would it be?

Thanks, mate.

Come on.
Let's get you home.

Good shot, sir.

[ Siren wails ]

[ Cheering ]

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

Job very well done.

-Good work.
-Thank you.

Well done, Kate!

Congratulations!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Steve.

Kate.
