The target of the 5th
of September ambush

was a protected witness.

John Thomas Hunter.

D.I. Denton, I'm arresting you

for conspiracy to murder
a protected witness.

D.S. Akers was the person
closest to the witness,

trusted by him.

You two always used
to end up side by side.

I'd rather not investigate the
death of a former colleague.

I like keeping a distance.

On the night of the
ambush, he called me.

Why'd you hide it?

Rich and I were involved
behind Jayne's back.

Looks like Jayne Akers
was on the receiving end

of a substantial payment.

- How substantial?
- Upwards of 50 grand.

Nurse? Where's... Aaaaaah!

Who is that man?

The records show that
Superintendent Hastings

is in considerable
financial difficulties.

I'd like you to carry on.

Very grateful,
sir. Thank you, sir.

I think the fewer people

know about your
situation, the better.

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

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

On the night of the ambush,

this particular officer caused
the rota to be changed.

Does the deputy chief constable
have a statement to make

regarding the allegation
about his speeding offense?

My wife and I strenuously
deny the allegation.

Hargreaves calls you "Jolly."

"Jolly" Rogerson.

He's a laugh a minute.

So there's a body?

We're taking it from here.

I was only searching for Carly.

Of all the long-term
mispers, why her?

Call me later for
initial forensics.

You've been talking to AC-12!

I believe you.

Okay, many thanks for that.

Now it's three minutes to 7:00,

and you're listening to
"The Breakfast Show."

And next, the weather.

Mainly dry weather
once again today,

clearing in the morning.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Increasing cloud
cover during the day

as rain comes in from the west,

so expect showers later this
afternoon from about 4:00.

Now, if you can access the
Internet on your mobile or PDA,

you can receive
mobile-specific traffic information

from our website.

It's nearly 7:00,

and you're listening to
"The Breakfast Show,"

with you until 9:00.

I've had to disclose
the situation at work.

Our situation?

No, no. Just the money.

Now the whole world
knows our business.

No, no. Just one executive
officer, in confidence.

Top man.

In fact, this particular officer
thinks very highly of me

so I can see things
getting a lot better.

How so?

If I was to put myself
forward for promotion,

when this case is finished,

this particular officer more
or less tipped me the wink.

Right.

A promotion's no
small thing, love.

Pay rise.

Bigger pension.

We need to be clear
about a few things first.

I'll say it again...
I am deeply sorry

for having not consulted
you about the finances.

It was a mistake.

I just wanted to surprise you.

Where's the harm in looking?

Right, we've all
read this report.

Looks like D.S.
Akers was on the take.

Well, it's only
circumstantial so far.

Well, if the officer

meant to be looking
after a protected witness

is getting paid off and
that witness gets killed,

doesn't leave much
room for circumstance

as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry, mate.

- Evidence is evidence.
- Good.

Dot, Steve.

The husband. You said
he was acting suspiciously?

I could have jumped
to the wrong conclusion.

It's fine, Steve.
Let's just do our job.

Well said, Kate. Let's
put it beyond doubt.

Let's bring the husband
in for questioning

and do a 32 search on his house.

- Very good, sir.
- Off you go.

Sir, we haven't discussed
Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

Denton's thrown
suspicion towards him,

and so far it's all checked out.

They worked together,

they had contact
outside of work,

and he made sure she was
on duty the night of the ambush.

That is one hell
of an accusation

to throw at a
senior officer, Steve,

especially a senior officer

with such an outstanding
record of public service.

Well, there is the story
that was leaked to the press

about him and his wife swapping
points on a driving offense.

Now, with respect, sir,

if we didn't look into it,
it'd look like favoritism.

And, sir, I checked
Dryden's website.

He leaves tomorrow for a
series of speaking engagements,

so if we don't
bring him in today,

we'll lose him for
the rest of the week.

Look, we can delay bringing
in Richard Akers for 24 hours.

He's going nowhere. He's
got no idea we're onto him.

Dryden's potentially
more closely involved

with the ambush itself, and
that's got to be our priority.

If only to rule him out
as soon as possible.

Right, well, no mistakes, mind.

I want all the I's dotted,
all the T's crossed

before that man sets one foot
in this building, you understand?

- Sir.
- Sir.

On you go.

Elvis has entered the building.

Thank you for your
cooperation, sir.

I hope this isn't
gonna take long, Ted.

Just waiting on Chief
Constable Lightwater, sir,

because of the
special arrangements.

Barry Lightwater's coming up?

Yeah, his force are
having a bit of ding-dong

with the PCC at the minute.

Between ourselves

I think he'll be glad
of the away day.

As I said, sir,
we're very grateful.

As you were.

Thank you, sir.

Sorry, sorry. Don't get up.

- Sir, if you wouldn't mind.
- Thanks, Ted.

Thank you. Thank you.

I think the way this works is

you'll only hear from me if
there's anything untoward.

- Thank you, sir.
- Thanks, sir.

AC-12 interview

of Deputy Chief
Constable Michael Dryden,

with Superintendent
Hastings, D.I. Cottan,

D.S. Arnott, D.C. Fleming.

Normal practice is that the
interviewee be questioned

by an officer at least
one rank superior.

However, in this case,
that cannot happen,

so Chief Constable Lightwater

of the East Midlands
Constabulary

has kindly agreed to
sit in as an observer.

Is that all right with
you and the ACPO?

I'm ready. Let's get on with it.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Well, I refer you to
Document 1 in your folders.

A complaint has been made
regarding a traffic offense,

an SP30,

which occurred on the night
of August the 16th this year.

Vehicle registered
to Mrs. Helen Dryden

was photographed
by a speed camera

traveling in excess
of the speed limit.

Then, a week later,
on August the 23rd,

the traffic division received
notice from Mrs. Helen Dryden

that, at the time the
incident occurred,

the vehicle was actually
being driven by yourself,

Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

Correct.

An allegation has been made

that Mrs. Dryden and/or yourself

falsified that notification.

Untrue.

I was driving. Helen was home.

And remember the reason

for your journey that evening?

I left home, drove
back towards town

to buy some beer and
wine from the off-license.

Changed my mind, went back home.

Mm-hmm.

And can you account for
the allegation to the contrary?

I'm a target.

Someone in the organization
wants to make me look bad.

I hope you'll spend as
much time looking for them

as you do investigating
this codswallop.

We will, sir. We will.

Glad to hear it.

Would I be able to
ask a question, sir?

Full marks for balls. Go on.

You didn't go into
the off-license?

No.

So the only person likely
to have seen you leave

and return home is Mrs. Dryden?

Most probably.

Will we be able to take a
statement from Mrs. Dryden?

Don't they train you
people anymore?

A spouse isn't a
compellable witness.

Sir, we're under no
obligation to inform your wife

that she's not a
compellable witness.

And whether she can or
can't give evidence against you

is a moot point
as per R v L 2008.

I'll inform her.
She'll back me up.

Nothing moot
there. Anything else?

Why did you change your mind

about going into
the off-license?

Just did.

Um...

If I may, sir, there's
just a few loose ends

I'd like to clear up
regarding our investigation

into the ambush of the
night of September the 5th.

My number one
priority. Anything to help.

Thank you, sir.

D.C. Fleming, sir.

You took a call that evening
from D.I. Lindsay Denton?

Yes, she couldn't get hold of
her duty chief superintendent.

She called me. I gave gold
approval for the operation.

Did she disclose to you

the nature of the
operation, sir?

No, I regularly sign off on
operations without knowing

the first bloody
thing about them.

Sorry, sir.

Specifically, sir, did you
give approval to D.I. Denton

to proceed without backup
and without firearms?

Wasn't the call recorded?

She made the call
from her office phone

and not the duty
desk, so no, sir.

I don't recall D.I. Denton
apprising me of those facts.

If she had, I would've
expressed misgivings, of course.

In terms of the on-call rotas,

specifically the ghost
rota for 4th Street Station,

is that something you'd ever
normally take an interest in?

Why would I?

So you weren't involved
at all in the circumstances

that led to D.I. Denton

being the duty
inspector that evening?

I also personally supervise
whether beat bobbies

put on their left shoe
first or their right.

Anything else?

Sir, could anyone have overheard

the conversation you
had with D.I. Denton?

Only my wife.

Somehow it feels like we've
been here before, D.S...

Arnott, sir.

Did she overhear or did
you discuss the call with her?

Where are we going with this?

Sir, I think D.S.
Arnott's worried

that your wife may have
got her sewing circle

to carry out the ambush.

I think we can safely
discount that theory, D.I...

- Cottan, sir.
- Cottan. That's right.

The witness protection
expert from AC-9.

That's right, sir.

Look, Ted, you're married.
You know what it's like.

You take a call from a
woman after 10:00 at night,

God help you if you don't
say what it was about.

- Am I right?
- Yes, that's right, sir.

Well, I'm divorced,
sir. Now I know why.

Exactly.

I told my wife it was a
work call, nothing more.

Obviously, if you need
to take this further,

I'm completely at your disposal.

Whatever it takes to get
those bastards, right, Ted?

Thank you, sir.

Sir, the call from
D.I. Denton...

Was that your first
contact with her?

What do you mean?

Did you know her at all, sir?

Uh, look, Kate, I think
we're really obliged

to operate within the parameters

of the Reg 15
notice that we served,

and any other lines of inquiry

really have to be
submitted in writing

to Deputy Chief Constable
Dryden and the ACPO.

- Fine.
- Correct, sir?

- Quite right, Hastings.
- Thank you, sir.

Once again apologies
for troubling you, sir.

Sure.

Sir?

Ted.

My team, you know, sir,
they're young and they're keen.

It's fine.

I hope you realize
why this was necessary.

- Nobody can appear above...
- Ted, it's fine.

It's just that I
would be mortified

if you thought that I wasn't
grateful for your support, sir.

It never crossed my mind.

Keep up the good work.

Sir, I've listed the questions

that remain unanswered
in regard to Dryden,

whether he approved the
lack of backup, firearms,

changing the rota to
put Denton on duty,

his alleged
relationship with her.

The gaffer's already said

we've got to be careful
about what we say.

What, and that explains
your stand-up routine?

Yeah, well, there's more
than one way to skin a cat.

I don't remember
saying, "Come in."

Sir.

It's all right, Steve.
You did a grand job.

I need clarification, sir.

Will we be seeking an
interview with Mrs. Dryden?

No, no. It's bound
to be nonevidential.

Yes, sir.

It sounds like a load of
old bollocks to me, anyway.

Why would he lie to
incriminate himself?

If anything, he'd dodge it
and then put it on his missus.

Well, I think we're
getting a deeper insight

into why Dot's divorced.

Why don't we just close
the whole thing, shall we?

- Dump it back on traffic.
- Yes, sir.

And the alleged
relationship with Denton?

Are we seeking evidence?

I thought she said
it was over, Steve.

With respect, sir,
though it's historical,

it connects Denton to the
person she alleges set her up.

Look, can we just not be saying

career-ending stuff
like that out loud?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay. Okay.

All right, Steve.
Seek corroboration.

But remember we're dealing
with somebody's marriage here.

Sir.

- Sir.
- Sir.

What's she doing next door?

Move away from the door.

What happened to the other two?

For your own safety,
you'll exercise alone.

What if Dryden was
trying to create an alibi

for the night of
the driving offense?

Okay.

Request his electronic diary
and access to his work e-mails.

Find out what his official
movements were that day.

Okay.

D.C. Fleming.

Thank you.

What?

Major violent crime
have arrested Rich Akers.

Your late wife,
D.S. Jayne Akers...

Why was there a dramatic
change in her financial situation

in the month leading
up to her death?

I don't know what
you're referring to.

Here's a breakdown

obtained by our
financial forensics unit.

It shows her financial activity
over the last six months.

For the first five months,

there's a consistent pattern
of debits to the account,

cash-card withdrawals,

goods and services using
the associated debit cards.

Then, suddenly, it stops dead.

No cashpoint withdrawals.

No debit-card payments.

It's as if your wife

miraculously stopped
spending any money.

Or needing any.

Um... okay.

We see this sort of pattern

when a person resorts to
paying their way in cash.

Okay.

Do you recognize
this bank statement?

Also obtained by our FFU.

My bank account.

You haven't made a
single cashpoint withdrawal

in over six weeks.

There's barely an
item paid for by card.

Don't you need the money either?

Well, I wasn't earning,

so that I knew I had
to tighten my belt.

A team conducted a
search of your property today.

Your client was under arrest,
hence the search was authorized

under Section 18

of the Police and
Criminal Evidence Act.

This case was found
hidden under the floorboards.

It contained £20,000 in cash.

24 hours? He's going nowhere?

Twat.

It's not your fault, mate.

They got hold of the
financial forensics, that's all.

Yeah.

So where did it come from?

I've never seen it before.

Never saw your wife with it?

I said I've never
seen it before.

Your wife, she was
taking bribes, wasn't she?

No.

I thought you
said you didn't ask.

Well, I...

It must have been pretty
obvious something was going on.

You didn't think to ask where
all this cash was coming from?

- No.
- Why not?

I just didn't.

Richard Akers,

the evidence obtained
in our investigation

is being forwarded to the
Crown Prosecution Service.

For authority to charge
you under Section 329

of the Proceeds of Crime Act

and that you acquired,
used, or had possession

of criminal property,

namely funds
received by your wife

as part of a conspiracy to
murder a protected witness.

Interview terminated.

Fact is you had the
same evidence we had.

Only we acted, didn't we?

You didn't.

Kate.

It's bad enough
already. Behave yourself.

Yeah.

D.S. Arnott, AC-12.

We've been given authorization
by the custody officer

to conduct an intelligence
interview, off tape.

It's fine.

Okay.

Bastard.

Holier-than-thou
doesn't suit you, Kate.

You never turned a blind eye,

benefited from one?

This lot, they're
gonna crucify Jayne,

whether they get
the facts or not.

- Who's out there?
- No one.

She kept records.

Hidden.

Records of what?

Her last case.

The protected
witness who got killed.

I believe she wanted leverage

against the criminal
parties she was dealing with.

These records...
Where are they now?

On flash drives.

I put them all in a Jiffy bag.

I set up a P.O. box,
sent them all to it.

Thank you.

Look, I'm sorry. I
have to work late again.

You must think I'm
some sort of idiot.

Move away from the door.

Come in.

Hello, Lindsay. I'm Fiona.

Please sit down.

I have some bad news for you.

This morning I took at call
from the Ashcliffe Nursing Home.

In the early hours your mother
suffered a very severe stroke.

She's very poorly.

I'm very sorry.

Um how's she doing now?

They're keeping her comfortable.

There's a geriatrician,
Dr. Panesar.

Yes, he's seen her.

They've decided not to
transfer her, as she's DNR.

- Not for resuscitation.
- Yeah, I signed the order.

Please accept our sympathies
at this very difficult time.

I am available to you as
your personal wellbeing officer.

I can also arrange
an appointment

with our chaplaincy service.

Wouldn't I see a
homeopath while I'm at it?

Are you being very sarcastic

or would you like me
to contact a homeopath?

I just want to see my mum.

You were involved
in a disturbance

and you've self-harmed.

I was attacked.

I can only go on what
they've recorded in your file.

And that means that
I can't see my mum?

It's up to the governor.

Kate. Jayne Akers' flash drives.

Go for it.

Right, we've
prioritized the stuff

dated in the run-up
to the ambush.

"'T' incensed by
August 9th statement."

"T"... Tommy.

Right, let's see who was
saying what on August 9th, yeah?

Okay.

"Need to reassure him about
his immunity from prosecution."

"If S.H. compromised,
require quick T.X."

- Safe house.
- Transfer.

- "Contact made."
- Contact with who?

- Denton, maybe?
- Can't be.

This is from before
the night of the ambush,

before Akers called her.

No further entries to say
who she made contact with.

Steve.

24 hours, son.
That's what you said.

I messed up, boss.

No excuses.

Steve, you and I have
had our differences.

But they're a damn
sight easier to overlook

if the job's being done.

It was Hargreaves'
decision to make the arrest.

I argued the toss,
for what it's worth.

Okay.

Wait.

You want a beer?

Yeah.

You've got every
right to be pissed off.

No shit.

When you said you thought

Richard Akers was
hiding something...

I didn't say run financial
forensics on him.

It's my job.

What, to drop me
in it with my boss?

I got you access to the
hospital-car-park CCTV,

to the crime scene
on the industrial estate.

I just took it to be a bit of, you
know, "you scratch my back."

That came later.

Yeah.

Well, I'm glad I didn't
have to point that out.

Anyway, that's all
I came to say, so...

You don't have to go.

You and me, we just...

We just want to
get the job done.

It's pretty hard
to set that aside.

Yeah.

I'm not saying this is over.

On hold?

Yeah.

My nonwork number
for when this is all over.

Good luck getting the job done.

You too.

D.S. Arnott, AC-12.

Just a moment, please.

It's all right. I've
sorted the paperwork.

How'd you find out
about this place?

I've been working flat-out.

This way.

These are the vehicles
from the crime scene.

They were analyzed in
situ till the 6th September

then sent to us for storage.

This is the vehicle
registered to D.S. Akers?

The very one.

Everything's as was?

With the exception of items

recovered from on
or inside the vehicle.

Where are they?

Here.

I've got an inventory of
the items held in evidence.

- We'll need to see it.
- I'll print you out a copy.

And we'll need to inspect
the evidence ourselves.

Thanks.

You ever seen
one of these before?

We used them when I
worked in counterterror.

- What is it?
- A tracking device.

What the hell are you up to?

How long you
been sitting on this?

Get out.

This is a private facility.
You've got no jurisdiction here.

Him... out.

I've already presented
you with a warrant

to search these premises.

Any obstruction of
me and my colleague

and you'll be arrested for
obstructing a police officer

in the lawful
execution of their duty.

Do you mind just giving
us a minute, please?

There was a lump on that car.

Oh, all of a sudden
you've become a detective.

When did you find it? Day one?

You want to wind
your neck in, son.

We were investigating Denton

and the whole
time it didn't matter

what route she
took that night...

The ambushers
were tracking Akers!

Well, nobody made you
pin it on Denton, did they?

You assholes managed
that all by yourselves.

We've got what
we came for, Steve.

Let's leave it at
that, shall we?

Sir.

Lock it.

Move away from the door.

You'll be escorted
off the premises today.

And how long will I
have with my mum?

The governor hasn't
given her approval.

This is a production order
to attend a police interview.

Returning to the
night of the ambush,

the only officer you disclosed
the operation to was who?

Deputy Chief
Constable Mike Dryden.

D.C.C. Dryden corroborates
receiving your call.

Good.

Was D.C.C. Dryden known to you

in purely a
professional capacity?

No. It went beyond that.

This alleged relationship

with Deputy Chief
Constable Dryden...

Alleged?

Describe this
alleged relationship.

It began when we worked
in crime audit together

and ended a couple
of months ago.

And how did it end?

He didn't leave his wife.

He made promises? Is that right?

Yeah.

- What kind?
- That he would leave his wife.

God give me strength.

The issue here is
that an allegation

has been put forward
by you, D.I. Denton,

that somehow the
deputy chief constable

has set you up to take the blame

for the ambush that happened
on the night of September the 5th.

Now, is that about the
top and the bottom of it?

Honestly, sir, I don't know.

And you wouldn't have anything
to substantiate this theory?

Maybe a little thing
called "evidence."

Or is that too much to ask?

I resent your tone,
Superintendent Hastings.

She resents my tone.

If there's been a relationship,
we'll require corroboration.

Did you ever go to his home?

No, he came to mine.

Witnesses?

I doubt it. We
were very discreet.

Hotels?

We visited a place a few times.

I've submitted
the details for you.

Well, most places,
they insist on

a credit-card imprint
when you check in.

Mike insisted on using mine,
and then he gave me cash.

- So he never used his?
- Not that I recall.

Did he make calls from there
on his mobile or the room phone?

- Yeah.
- Good.

We'll find out if
any of the staff

remember both
of you being there.

See the thing is, D.I. Denton,

that the more intricate
this investigation becomes,

the easier it is for you to
try and confound my team.

But me, I've been 'round
the block a few times.

I really don't care
if you and the DCC

were swinging
off the chandeliers.

That does not make
him a conspirator.

And you maintain

that you've never heard
of the protected witness...

I haven't.

And that you've never
even met Akers before.

No.

And yet one phone
call from Akers,

and you are up to your neck
in all her dodgy business.

Because I'm a police officer
and she needed my help.

Did you request approval
from D.C.C. Dryden

to proceed without backup
and without firearms?

I did.

But with no recording,
it's your word against his,

isn't it, D.I. Denton?

My word is I did.

You know what?

If you've been around
the block a few times, sir,

then you tell me...

Have you found anything lately
which makes me appear guilty?

Anything?

Or is it starting to look like

you might just have
the wrong person?

Ma'am, all the
information gleaned

from our postcharge
investigation,

it's going to the CPS.

Good, then it won't be
long before they realize

that there's no credible
case against me.

Look, my mum is very ill.

And as I've cooperated,

I would appreciate any
good word to the governor

that might persuade
her to permit me a visit.

Please.

We can look into that.

Okay, we've found
summat on the flash drives.

Do you want to take a seat?

Can you play it?

Is this bloody thing on or what?

We had a deal.

Immunity from prosecution,
you two-faced bastard.

Does this bastard
think I won't grass?

Which bastard?

They're all at it.

You show them this,

then they'll know who
they're dealing with.

- Police officers?
- Aye.

From the two-faced bastard
right down to the Caddy.

The Caddy?

He's been one of us
since he was a wee laddie.

He's been doing
a job on the inside

for years and years now.

What are you going to do?

Oh, you'll find out soon enough.

And then it will all come out
unless this immunity is sorted!

We had a deal!

Right. That was recorded
a week before the ambush.

Proves he was stressed
about his immunity.

Who's the two-faced bastard?

Play it.

The 9th of August statement
previously mentioned.

Resources are
incredibly stretched,

yet certain police
forces and the courts

collude in granting immunity
from prosecution to individuals

I'd describe as
repugnant offenders,

men and women who cost
the taxpayer millions of pounds,

year on year,

while any right-thinking person

would demand they face
justice for their crimes.

"Repugnant offender."

I couldn't have
put it better myself.

Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

Tommy's "two-faced bastard."

It was Dryden turning
the screws on Tommy.

What about this other
officer, the Caddy?

Mind if I look into that, sir?

Yes.

Off you go, Dot. Thanks.

Thanks.

Anything else on the files
comes up about this Caddy,

shoot it over to my
computer, yeah?

- Ta.
- Okay.

If Tommy did have
something on Dryden...

That's a hell of a motive for
Dryden to orchestrate the hit

and keep it from coming out.

Lindsay was set up.

Steve.

Lindsay's phone records.

Come in.

There are numerous calls
in Denton's phone records

to and from Deputy
Chief Constable Dryden.

The last was on the
evening of 16th of August

from Dryden's mobile to hers.

I've got the manager
of the hotel confirming

that Denton and Dryden
were semiregulars.

Double room, sometimes
not even staying the full night.

Next step, we'd like you
to sign off on requests

to access Dryden's phone
and financial records, please, sir.

Well, there it is plain as day.

Man's an adulterer.

Some people, you
wonder if they've no shame.

Oh, well. One for the
morning. Good work, you two.

You sure, sir?

I mean, it's looking like
Dryden's involved in the ambush.

It's looking like no such thing.

Only that he had
an affair with Denton.

One step at a time.

- Sir.
- Sir.

Number 14, please.

Cheers.

Can I have these off now?

Against regulations.

We're all very sorry
about your mum, Lindsay.

Thank you.

I'll take you to
her straightaway.

Can you tell me what's happened?

A CVA. A stroke.

She understands,
but she can't talk.

Mum?

It's Lindsay.

Thank you.

Kasia says you can understand.

Are you comfortable?

Are you in pain?

Ring me if you need anything.

Oh, they're just helping
me with work, Mum.

Dryden's e-mails were clean,

but this was from
his electronic diary.

16th of August, the
night of the traffic offense,

he attended a reception
at City Hall from 5:00 p.m.

According to witnesses,
he left about 7:00 p.m.

No further engagements
that evening.

The whole rest of the night
his whereabouts are unknown.

So, what could he
have needed an alibi for?

Run the date
through the database.

Shit.

Switch.

4th Street Station,
please. Missing persons.

Missing persons.

Hi, it's D.C. Fleming.

I'm calling for an update
on one of your mispers,

case number G103734.

Kirk. K-I-R-K.

- First name?
- Carly.

How can I help, D.C. Fleming?

Yeah, it's pretty
straightforward, really.

I just wondered if there
was a formal DNA match

on the body found under the
Canalside Industrial Estate.

Canalside Industrial Estate.

Yeah, it's not coming
up on my database.

It's coded "control
sample is unavailable."

Okay. Thank you.

Just one minute.

I'm here, Mum.

I'm here with you.

We left everything as it was.

That's what the
police told us to do.

Normally, what would happen
is control samples of Carly's DNA

would be collected from
her toothbrush or hairbrush.

That's what they did.

I know this is only gonna
add to your distress,

but there seems to be a
problem with the samples.

What kind of problem?

Well, we're trying
to track them down,

and I'm sure we'll find them,

but the more you
can tell me, the better.

Uh, a detective
came to the house

and took the stuff you said...

Her toiletries,
bedclothes, dirty laundry.

It all went in black bin
bags, and he took it away.

Normal procedure
is for an officer

to be accompanied by
a forensic investigator,

all the materials placed
into individual evidence bags,

and you'd be asked
to sign a search book.

But we spoke to the police.

They said they were
sending someone.

- You called them?
- Yes.

No.

You remember, Tess, we
got a call from the detective,

saying he was on his way 'round.

This detective, do you
remember his name?

Sorry.

He showed his badge
for a fraction of a second.

Would you recognize him again?

Yeah.

Yes.

Can you come to
the station with me?

- When?
- Now.

Time.

I thought I could stay.

Do you know how
much a night shift costs?

Would love the overtime.

What if she...

You have to leave.

Answering only yes or
no, do you understand?

Yeah.

It's all right, Mum.
It's just work.

I'll be back to see
you as soon as I can.

The detective that
visited you was male?

Yes.

Age.

25 to 35? 35 to 45?

25 to 35.

Ethnicity.

White, Afro-Caribbean, Asian?

Asian.

CCTV of the event at City
Hall attended by Dryden

on the night of 16th of August.

How many tapes we got?

Got them digitized
onto a single disc.

Brilliant.

But why don't I ever get
invited to these dos, eh?

There's Dryden.

Do you require assistance?

We have to go back.

That's not possible.

I can't let the last
thing I said be a lie.

We have to go back. I
have to tell her the truth.

Aah!

What happened?

Don't do that!

You got a phone you can reach?

- I think so.
- Call the ambulance.

Make the call.

- Just make the call!
- I can't find my phone!

Stop!

No.

No.

No.

No.

Police.

Police. Where are you?

Are you okay?

Don't be frightened.

Please come out
where we can see you.

You won't be harmed.

She's down here.

Police. Show yourself. Come on.

D.I. Denton. Is that you, ma'am?

We got a 999 call
from your prison officer.

Stop.

That's him.

Tessa?

I-I think so.

I know. That's him.

See?

Don't be alarmed, ma'am.

Oh, my God.

We'll get you
somewhere safe, ma'am.

There you go.

Sorry to interrupt.

Carly Kirk's mate described
her boyfriend as being Asian.

Around mid-30s, good-looking.
Went by the name of Matt.

Manish Prasad.

He's a serving vice
officer at Polk Avenue.

And the foster
parents identified him

as the one who
came to their house.

And this is one of his team.

Jeremy Cole.

That's him.

Georgia was killed
by one of ours.

I'm sorry, Steve.

Christ.

We ought to take
this to the gaffer.

Yes, wait.

Uh, hang on.

Right. Here goes.

Shit.

Right, ma'am. We've
got to take you back.

Technically, ma'am, you've
escaped from lawful custody.

Thanks for not cuffing me.

It's professional courtesy.

We need to show
this to the gaffer.

Wait. Go back.

What?

That's Carly Kirk.

This isn't your vehicle.

We had some problems.
Commandeered this one.

Jump in.

Well, let's not do anything
that's gonna me look bad.

All right, just radio in, tell
them that I'm cooperating,

and that we're en route
to the nearest station.

Whatever you say, ma'am.

Sure.

Help!

Please! Help me!

Please!

Help!

All patrols, all patrols,

observations for a female
who has escaped from custody.

Lindsay Denton. IC1 female.

Mid-to-late-30s.
Tall. Long dark hair.

Help me! Help me!

All patrols, all
patrols, repeat,

Lindsay Denton has
escaped from custody.
