D.I. Denton, I'm arresting you

for conspiracy to murder
a protected witness.

You've been talking to AC-12!

- What is it?
- Tracking device.

We were investigating Denton

and the whole
time it didn't matter

what route she
took that night...

The ambushers
were tracking Akers!

The records show that
Superintendent Hastings

is in considerable
financial difficulties.

I'd like you to carry on.

Very grateful,
sir. Thank you, sir.

If I was to put myself
forward for promotion,

this particular officer more
or less tipped me the wink.

We had a deal.

Immunity from prosecution,
you two-faced bastard.

Deputy Chief Constable Dryden.

Tommy's "two-faced bastard."

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.

Mind if I look into that, sir?

Carly Kirk? No I.D. yet.

Her face and finger
pulps were burnt off.

The detective came to the
house and took the stuff you said.

That's him.

Nurse? Where's... Aaaaaah!

Georgia was killed
by one of ours.

Aah!

Don't be alarmed, ma'am.

Help!

Out.

You've been in custody.
You've been interviewed.

What've you told them?

- Nothing.
- Christ's sake.

- What have you told them?
- Nothing.

We know you've been
cooperating with AC-12.

The prison officers
burning your hands...

That didn't get
the message over?

Okay, I'm gonna ask you
again. What've you told them?

Nothing.

Aah!

Now it gets serious.

What've you told them?

- D-Dryden.
- Speak up!

Mike Dryden set
the whole thing up.

We're listening.

That's all I said. That's
all I said to AC-12.

Jesus Christ, Manny,
let's just do her.

I've done one female copper.
Don't think I won't do another.

It's the truth!

They've charged
you, remanded you.

What've they got on you?

Dryden set me up!

Aah!

Last chance.

It is the truth!

You didn't recognize him?

Whatever.

He's been a liability ever
since the e-fit came out.

Now get in the car!

- Get in the car!
- Aah!

You're a liability, too, unless
you start telling the truth!

Think about it, yeah?

Get in!

Right, that's the
prison officers away.

They look fine.
What about Denton?

We don't know whether
she was kidnapped.

Or they were springing
her from custody.

All patrols, all
patrols, repeat,

Lindsay Denton has
escaped from custody.

Denton is known to employ
misrepresentation and deceit.

Well, I couldn't have
put it better myself.

Right. Get out
there and find her.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

"Yes, sir." "Yes, sir."

God help us all
if we've lost her.

Hello, Police.

This is D.S. Manish
Prasad, Polk Avenue vice.

We've just sighted D.I. Denton.

D.C. Cole was in
pursuit, but I've lost him.

- What is your location?
- I'm going after them!

D.S. Prasad?

Aah!

Aaaah!

Aah!

I need an ambulance.

Yeah, sure. You
pass me the phone.

- It's in my pocket.
- I'm not gonna reach for it.

You want an
ambulance, you pass it.

Right.

We'll get to the
ambulance in a minute.

First, when I turn this on,
you're gonna record a statement.

Dryden, the ambush, and me.

You got it?

If I talk, I'm a dead man.

And maybe you are anyway.

So talk.

Please call an ambulance.

Why'd they use you for the job?

They had stuff on me and Cole.

He's Cole?

Jez. J-Jeremy Cole.

What kind of stuff?

We're vice. Use
your imagination.

- And Dryden?
- Him too.

So there's the story.

That's why Dryden
set up the ambush.

The suspect has asked me
to record what he believes

is his dying declaration

following his receiving
life-threatening injuries

in a road traffic collision

and finding himself in the
hopeless expectation of death.

State your name.

You really think you're
gonna get out of this?

Not gonna happen.

You killed Wallis and Butler.

Your mate killed
Georgia Trotman!

All police! All innocent!

Aah!

Aah!

Please!

Now talk.

D.S. Manish Prasad.

In the hope... hopeless
expectation of death,

I record my dying declaration.

Sighting of Lindsay Denton.

Identifying cell
of caller's phone.

Stand by for location.

D.S. Arnott.

This is Lindsay Denton.

I've detained the two gunmen
who carried out the ambush.

They're in a bad way so I've
recorded a dying declaration.

Where are you?

Check your in-box
for the audio file.

- It's here.
- Got it.

The old Highpoint Building.
I'm keeping this phone on.

They can triangulate
to this position.

Lindsay? Lindsay?

Highpoint's over in Moss
Heath. You need to make a U...

- Two bodies. Ready to approach.
- Thank you.

Right, I want this scene secure.

Right now, somebody
evidence and secure this phone!

Paramedics!

On my authority, you're
free to enter the crime scene.

Thank you.

- Is he dead?
- Yeah.

Right. On my authority,
check that body. Thank you.

Denton's on foot, sir.
She can't have got far.

- Yes. Kate, put out obs.
- Sir.

Boss, I got an idea.
Okay if I check it out?

Yes, off you go, Steve.

This one's still alive.

I want to stay with him, sir,
keep hold of firearm units,

make sure he gets
to hospital safely.

Agreed. Agreed, Kate.
Good idea, good idea.

Dot, you're with her, all right?

Sir.

Right! Come on! We've got
to get this cordon sorted out!

Kate.

Steve, Prasad's still alive.

Received.

She's in her mother's room.

Keep out for now.

Just arrived.

Nobody approach
her. Stay on the line.

- You the nurse I was talking to?
- Yes.

Where is she?
Last door on the left.

You hear any commotion,
you call 999 straightaway.

Okay.

Lindsay?

It's Steve Arnott.

I'd like to come
in if that's okay.

Lindsay, I'm coming in now.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I should have been with her.

We can arrange for you to
see her, if that's what you want.

They've already
stripped her room.

Her things were very personal.

- They mustn't lose them.
- No, of course.

They've got to be
returned to you.

How did you know I was here?

She was your mum.

I'll come now.

Take as long as you need.

I'll just be outside.

Thank you.

Well, let's hope he lives.

Oh, it's not whether he
lives. It's whether he'll talk.

- Do you think he will?
- He's got to.

Chances are this
asshole's the Caddy.

Come on.

Look, I know what the
crime scene must look like.

What happened?

I was just defending myself. I
only meant to immobilize him.

You succeeded.

Don't make light
of it. It was horrible.

What happened to Cole?

Prasad murdered him.

Tell me something.
Copper to copper.

Cole.

Was he definitely the
one that killed Georgia?

Yeah.

He confessed.

You listened to the whole
declaration Prasad made?

No, not yet.

Dryden ordered
the ambush, Steve.

With Cole and Prasad dead,

how do you propose to
build a case against Dryden?

We'll manage.

The fact that he's deputy chief
constable is not an issue, no?

He's been accused of
lying about a driving offense,

and it's all just melted away.

It's nothing to do with
him being the DCC?

Where's it all
coming from, Steve?

Hastings, right?

Every rank above DCI is
more politician than policeman.

Hastings isn't daft
enough to take Dryden on.

- You really don't know the man.
- No.

- I think I know you, though.
- Do you?

Dryden ordered the
killings of four police officers,

and one of them was Georgia.

Dot, Kate. Come with me.

The rest of you,
back to your work.

No one present at the
Highpoint crime scene

should enter this room,

to prevent forensic
cross-contamination.

Is she under arrest
and cautioned?

- For what?
- Escape from lawful custody.

I was kidnapped.

Yes, well, we'll let a court
determine that, shall we?

They weren't springing her,
sir. They were gonna kill her.

Kate, will you do that anyway?

- Yes, sir.
- Mm-hmm.

We'll also need your
clothes for forensics.

Nothing personal,
you understand?

It's procedure.

We'll have a doctor look at you,

and in the meantime
we'll take care of you.

Kate, you get a female officer
to recover her clothes, yeah?

- Sir.
- No, no. Not you.

We want your clothes as well.

There's an audio file, sir.
You'll hear she's innocent.

Yes, and I will listen to it.

When you're done here,

you place her in
protective custody

in a random police
station under a false I.D.

Kate.

Lindsay Denton,
you're to be charged

with escape from lawful custody.

Do you require any legal
representation at this time?

Okay.

D.S. Manish Prasad.

In the hope... hopeless
expectation of death,

I record my dying declaration.

I carried out the ambush
with D.C. Jeremy Cole.

Under orders from Deputy
Chief Constable Dryden.

Mother of God.

Sorry, gaffer, I didn't think
this could wait any longer

now we've got the
dying declaration.

You've seen these
images from CCTV.

The lip-reader's
analyzed the tape.

Nothing incriminating.
Just banter.

But Dryden and Prasad
appear to be on friendly terms.

Looking at their
personnel records,

Dryden was
department head at vice

when Prasad joined as a DC.

They knew each other well, sir.

From the CCTV, you'd go
so far as to call them mates.

That's 15-year-old
misper Carly Kirk,

also at the function.

We've contacted
the catering company,

and they've got no record to say

that she was an employee
of theirs that night.

She was known to Prasad,

and we believe this is the
last time she was seen alive.

Yeah, g-good work. Very
good work. Well done.

- Sir.
- Sir.

Yeah.

He said to go straight in.

Gone to ground, Ted?

My office has been asking
all day for you to report.

Ah, you'll have
to forgive me, sir.

I was just making
sure of my facts.

Well, let's have them.

We've got the gunmen, sir...

One recorded
confessing to the ambush

and naming his accomplice.

Well, that's
fantastic work, Ted.

I want to hear that recording.

All in good time, sir.

Uh, this is a joint operation.

I will not disclose any leads

to Detective Chief
Superintendent Hargreaves, sir,

and that is final.

Give us a minute, Les.

Les.

Do I have to drag
it out of you, Ted?

The two gunmen are or
were serving detectives

assigned to vice, sir.

Well, uh, that is a
matter of great sensitivity.

It's the right thing to
do, to keep a lid on it.

Who... Who were they?

I'd rather not say, sir. I'm
still gathering information.

There's those two plus Akers.

And Denton, of course.

Of course, there
may be others, sir,

involved in the conspiracy...
Others yet to be identified.

Well, very good. Very good.

Being indiscreet for a moment,

you could be looking at
a promotion here, Ted.

Assuming you want it.

It's a team effort, sir.

Oh, none of that false modesty.

Denise said to come straight in.

Absolutely.

It's a shame you can't
appear in front of camera,

but stick around for
the press conference.

Press conference, sir?

What did I say
about false modesty?

This is the breakthrough
we've been desperate for.

If you'll excuse us, Ted.

Sir.

Sorry to keep you.

Dr. Kaur will see you now.

And then the burns specialist

will come and have
a look at your hands.

- I'll wait here.
- Thanks.

Dr. Kaur wants her
notes downloaded.

She was seen earlier this year.

- All right?
- All right.

You want one, sir?

Or have you packed up now
you've gone squeaky clean?

I have packed up, as it happens.

That's another thing you can
act superior about, then, sir.

We're off duty,
mate. It's still "Dot."

How can I help you, sir?

Look, it's all about
information in this game.

I was hoping you
could help me out

with some information about
a certain executive officer.

You're asking the wrong bloke.

Aforementioned executive officer

had his name splashed all over
the papers for his wife's SP30.

A paper you used to throw the
odd titbit every now and then,

if I remember right.

No comment.

Look, it's no skin off my nose

if you're making a bit
of extra holiday pay.

Perk of the job.

What counts is what
happened with Dryden.

What really happened that night?

You're in A.C. five minutes,

you think it's all right
to grass on your own.

Dryden? One of our own?

What, he's having posh
lunches with the PCC

and shagging on expenses.

We don't owe him anything, mate.

Well, if it's a choice
between sticking it to an exec

or sticking it to A.C.,
I'll have to think about it.

This is all off record.

Come on.

Help me stick it to
that smug bastard.

What I heard was, it was
going 'round wife to wife.

She was in a state
about the SP30,

terrified about the
embarrassment.

Then all of a sudden

it wasn't her who
was driving, it was him.

So, what was he up to?

You got it from vice. You
never heard it from me.

Scout's honor.

He likes 'em young.

You got a name you
can throw me from vice?

There is a lad.
Mouthy. Jez Cole.

Jez Cole.

Jeremy Cole?

Yeah, I've... I've heard
they call him the Caddy.

I'll have to take
your word for that.

Will you, though?

What?

Look, if you think you've
got it bad, you should try A.C.

The bean counters are
all over you for everything.

But I need to get
this box ticked.

All you have to do is say

you've heard this
nickname used for Cole.

It'll make it easier to keep
your name out the Dryden saga.

I don't think the DCC
would be best pleased

to find out who splashed
his name all over the papers.

But it won't come to that.

For old times' sake.

Apparently Cole likes
to wear golf jumpers,

but he's never played the game.

Hence, the Caddy.

Nige?

Nice one.

How is he?

Stable.

When he talks,
we'll know the truth.

He's already talked.

Under extreme duress.

Have you told
Lindsay he's alive?

No.

Good.

You should get off home.

I'm gonna stay.

I want to be here
when he comes round.

All right.

- Night.
- Night.

Steve.

Give us a minute, will you?

Cheers.

I don't suppose
you've got any idea

what it's like to be locked
up 24 hours a day, have you?

I'm sorry.

Hold me on the original
conspiracy charge

but please let me make
a second bail application.

Please, Steve. I can't
be locked up anymore.

Your honor, the
defendant wishes to make

a second bail application.

I'll hear it.

The defendant has
proved she's not a flight risk

by willingly surrendering
herself into police custody.

She's also fully cooperating
with Anti-Corruption Unit 12

in their further inquiries

into the murders of
three police officers

on the 5th of September.

Ms. Latimer?

Your honor, the prosecution
no longer opposes bail

subject to the defendant
surrendering her passport

and residing at
her home address,

this being monitored
by an electronic tag.

This is on the basis, your
honor, that the defendant

continues to cooperate fully
with Anti-Corruption Unit 12.

From what I've heard,

bail is granted subject
to these conditions.

Someone could've
put the heating on.

I need a shower and
a change of clothes.

The, uh, base unit...

Yeah, will alert you if
I run off into the night.

A uniformed officer
will remain outside.

- Is that overkill?
- For your protection.

Right, yeah. Thanks.

Great.

I don't suppose
you got any ketchup.

Must've left it with the pickled
onions and mushy peas.

- Are you being sarcastic?
- A bit.

I've just had my fill recently
of people speaking to me

in a mean-spirited
way, that's all.

Sorry.

What happened to the cat?

Taken to a home when
I got put on remand.

Will you be able to get it back?

Her. She's been adopted.

- Sorry, I didn't mean to...
- It's all right.

Probably thought
it was just a cat.

Mike was the same.
He was allergic.

He said we could never
move in together if I kept a cat.

- My previous cat.
- What, you got rid of it?

Well, I... I thought
he would move in.

You must hate him for it.

Like you said,
it was just a cat.

I didn't say that.

Well, I'm... I'm home.

I'm semi-free.

And you got wine.

Thought after all
you'd been through

it'd take the edge off.

Yeah. You thought right.

- Do you want one?
- Better not.

Well, if you don't
drink it, I will.

Can't jail me for
that, can they?

Cheers.

Prasad's not dead.

He's in a bad way right now,

but there's every
chance he'll talk.

Good.

I really better leave
you to settle in.

Thanks.

We have on record
your dying declaration,

made when you were under
the hopeless expectation of death,

testifying to the fact that
you carried out the ambush

in concert with
D.C. Jeremy Cole,

and under the orders

of Deputy Chief
Constable Michael Dryden.

Now, is all this true?

Whether it's true
or false is irrelevant.

It was obtained under duress,
so it's inadmissible in court.

Well, we've got a pile of
evidence that is admissible.

Kidnap, attempted murder,

murder, conspiracy,

perverting the
course of justice,

sexual activity with a child.

You are going down
for a long time, fella.

And I'm looking at three muppets
who know I'm their best witness.

Jesus.

Let's talk about
this 15-year-old girl.

Carly Kirk.

We have witnesses telling
us that you were her boyfriend.

You mopped up the
DNA control samples

from her foster parents' home

so her body
couldn't be identified.

That your idea, Manish?
Or was it Dryden's?

Did Dryden kill her?

I request immunity
from prosecution

and enrollment in a
witness protection program.

Look, we have you on
tape at a City Hall function

with Dryden and Carly Kirk.

Immunity.

What were the three of
you doing there together?

Immunity.

Steve. There's summat
you need to see.

This was found in the
boot of Prasad's private car,

under the spare wheel.

So the night we're interested
in is the 16th of August,

the night of the
driving offense.

Carly Kirk.

He must have left
the reception with her.

Keep going.

Got the bastard.

Open those last files.

We've got Prasad's
dying declaration

that it was Dryden
that set up the ambush,

and now we've got motive.

These photos were also found.

This appears to
be Carly Kirk's body

before it was buried
under the concrete floor

at the industrial unit.

Good work.

Good work, yeah.

There's just one thing I
don't understand here.

I mean, if Prasad had
these photographs,

to my mind that makes
him part of the effort

to blackmail Dryden.

So, what are you saying?

That he just changes sides,

does Dryden's bidding,
and sets up the ambush?

Well, until we get the
CPS to agree to terms

on Prasad's
immunity, we're stuck.

And we're stuck on Dryden
without Prasad's testimony.

It's too many ifs and buts.

That's why we need to fill
in the gaps with Dryden, sir.

We're past the
evidence threshold, sir.

We can't do much more
without arresting him.

We would've done, if
he weren't the DCC, eh?

Yeah.

Do it.

- Sir.
- Sir.

Sir.

What's going on?

Would you come
with us, please, sir?

Where?

We've made an arrangement
with East Midlands.

Superintendent Hastings felt

that was the most
sensitive way to proceed.

Work, love. Give us a minute.

Please.

I'm not gonna make
this easy for you.

Michael Dryden, you're to
accompany us for questioning.

We're not arresting
you at this time,

but if you do not comply,

then we will be
forced to arrest you.

Get home, the pair of
you. Past your bedtime.

We're not going anywhere, sir,

unless you're coming with us.

Michael Dryden, I
am arresting you.

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

if you fail to mention
when questioned

something you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

- Hiya.
- Hi.

- Do you want a drink?
- No.

No. Sit down, love.

Is everything okay?

Um...

About the cruise.

I got ahead of myself.

You got my hopes up.

Why, if you couldn't
follow through?

It has to do with work.

I had to do the right thing.

Oh.

Okay.

Well, as long as you
got to do the right thing,

that's okay, then.

Thanks to sterling work

by one of this force's most
highly specialized units,

the two gunmen responsible
for the 5th of September ambush

are now in our hands.

But this is a momentous
day for this police force,

for the rule of law,
and, most importantly,

for the grieving families
of our four fallen comrades.

Thank you.

The format of this interview

is the same with
any other suspect.

You no longer have the right
to be questioned by an officer

at least one rank superior.

Interview of Michael
Edward Dryden

in the presence of his solicitor

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

May I begin, sir?

I've already been in
custody for eight hours.

Think you'd better
get a move on.

Clock's ticking.

In respect of the
night of 5th September,

the night of the ambush,

you received a phone
call from D.I. Denton.

We've covered this.

Well, one question
requires further examination.

Prior to the call,

what was your relationship,
if any, with D.I. Denton?

Two things. One, there
was no relationship.

Two, this lies outside the
parameters of the investigation.

Well, we're at
liberty to investigate

any connection to the ambush,

its conspirators, and
its alleged conspirators.

You should answer.

May I continue, sir?

Apparently you may.

- Did you know her?
- Yes.

We worked together
in crime analysis.

A six-month posting
about five years ago.

D.I. Denton was
on duty that night,

covering for Inspector
Joseph Barlow.

Inspector Barlow
was invited by you

to attend a Crime
Executive seminar.

By my office, not by me.

The Crime Executive
meets once a month.

We regularly invite officers of
all ranks and specializations.

If Barlow hadn't been there,

he would've been
the duty inspector

the night of the
ambush, not Denton.

The names come up on a list.
Barlow wasn't cherry-picked.

It's a coincidence.

But you accept, as a
result of your invitation...

It's a coincidence.
An unfortunate one.

Move on.

On the call from D.I. Denton,
you addressed her as "Linda."

Did I?

According to Denton,
that's what you called her.

I don't get where
you're going with this.

One theory would be

that you were trying
to conceal to your wife

that you were receiving
a call from D.I. Denton.

And it'd be wrong.

According to Denton's statement,
when you worked together,

your relationship went
beyond the purely professional.

First half-baked
theories. Now innuendo.

You must want to face
a suit for wrongful arrest.

You deny an affair
with Lindsay Denton?

I do.

You deny spending
nights together

at her residence,
Queen's Arms Hotel,

among other places?

I strenuously deny an
affair with Lindsay Denton.

An affair isn't necessarily
the same as sexual relations.

Have you had sexual
relations with Lindsay Denton?

I need a definition
of sexual relations.

If I may, sir.

"For the purpose
of this investigation,

a person engages
in sexual relations

when the person knowingly
engages in, receives, or causes

contact with the genitalia,
anus, groin, breast,

inner thigh, or
buttocks of any person

with an intent to arouse
or gratify sexual desire.

Contact means
intentional touching,

either directly or
through clothing."

I shagged her a couple of times.

She was a bunny
boiler, and I moved on.

Obviously she wanted
there to be more to it.

Ma'am, if you'd kindly refer
to Document 3 in your folder,

you'll see signed authority

to access your client's
telecommunication records.

I see Superintendent
Hastings' signature.

Sir, if you'd kindly refer

to Document 4 in your
folder, you'll see said records

relating to the 16th
of August of this year.

I see them.

You'll see a call was
made at 9:33 p.m.

from your mobile phone,

lasting approximately
20 seconds.

Do you recognize the
number receiving the call?

No.

This mobile phone is
registered to Lindsay Denton.

- I made that call.
- What was said in that call?

It was a long time ago.

According to Denton's
statement, you sounded distressed.

- Why were you distressed?
- I'm sick of her bullshit!

I called Lindsay because
she'd been following me.

Just when I think she's got
the message, there she is again.

Could be a week,
could be a month,

but she turns up and
it starts all over again.

You're alleging
she's a stalker, sir?

That's exactly
what I'm alleging.

She knows she
can get away with it

because there is no
way I'm gonna let her

have her say about "us."

My wife having
to listen to that.

In what way did she
allegedly stalk you that night?

I'm not saying she was
there that particular night.

I'm just saying she had a habit
of turning up and hassling me.

- You sure about that?
- Yes.

Witnesses?

Let me tell you
about Lindsay Denton.

She's too smart to
let there be witnesses.

She gets your phone
records, D.C. Fleming.

Superintendent Hastings,
she gets his financial records.

D.S. Arnott, she followed
you, took compromising photos.

Did you see her? Were
there any witnesses?

You want to watch her.

She's manipulative
and conniving.

Can't trust a word she says.

Can we be clear?

You accept the phone
record is accurate?

As I've said.

I'd be grateful, sir,

if you'd refer to
Document 8 in your folder.

Document 8 is a transcript

of part of a previous
interview your client gave us

under Regulation 15 notice.

A complaint was made
regarding an SP30.

A vehicle registered
to Mrs. Helen Dryden

was flashed by a speed camera,

and a week later
traffic received notice

that you were driving.

From the transcript...
"'D.C.C. Dryden'...

I was driving. Helen was home.

I drove back towards town
to buy some beer and wine

from the off-license.

I changed my mind
and went home."

Said offense took place

on the evening of
the 16th of August.

Your mobile phone record

places you miles away
from the speed camera,

making a call to
D.I. Lindsay Denton.

You weren't driving that car.

It says so...

here.

Virtually my whole marriage
I've worked long hours.

It's taken a toll.

That night, Helen
was at an A.A. meeting.

She was worried it would get out

if the speeding charge
was taken further.

She made out I was
driving and posted the form.

By the time she told
me, it was too late.

I hoped no one
would ever find out,

but some asshole leaked
it all over the papers.

She was ashamed she was
attending those meetings.

I'm the one that
should be ashamed.

We have information

that your wife had confided
her driving offense to friends.

She had a clean license,
no chance of being banned.

We don't think that was a good
enough reason for her to lie.

The only reason would be
to provide you with an alibi.

Or for you to seize the
opportunity to create one.

I didn't fill in that form.

If I happen to know it
was my wife that did so,

I have no intention of
testifying against her.

The lawyers'll have a field day.

The real villain in all this

is whatever toe-rag
leaked that story

to bring me down because
the politicians and the PCC

don't like me telling the
truth about service cutbacks.

Why are you talking
about service cutbacks, sir?

I'm trying to get you
to open your eyes, son.

They're open.

If you weren't
driving your wife's car,

what were you doing that night?

I've answered your
questions. We're done here.

We're not.

- Where were you that night?
- No comment.

Document 10.

Here's a map showing
the mobile phone cell

from which your call
originated that evening.

- Please specify your location.
- No comment.

You were out in
the Edge Park area.

- Why?
- No comment.

D.S. Manish Prasad
and D.C. Jeremy Cole

carried out the ambush
on September 5th.

Were you meeting with them?

What is this? Are you insane?

Look in your folder.
Document 11.

Evidence log from
D.C.S. Hargreaves' team,

re the vehicle used
by D.S. Jayne Akers

during the ambush.

Item 14... mobile magnetic
radio tracking device.

There was a lump
on Akers' vehicle

that allowed the
gunmen to track her.

This evidence was
withheld from AC-12.

You knew about this,
but you let us make a case

against Lindsay
Denton regardless.

Why did you
withhold the evidence?

The investigations were
separate at the time.

It felt like the
right way to go.

I didn't keep track of every
little piece of evidence myself.

You were happy for
your alleged stalker

to be charged and remanded.

You were happy for
her to take the blame

for something she didn't do.

You set her up!

She's the one out for revenge!
She's the one out to get me!

She's using you all,
and you've fallen for it!

Where were you that night?

Don't go down this road,
son. It doesn't end well.

You got the balls to charge me?

Tick-tock.

As you know, sir,

you can be held in custody
for a maximum of 36 hours,

after which you'll either
be charged or released.

We thank you for
your cooperation

and we intend to continue.

Document 13.

Document 13.

This is a transcript

from a statement
you gave to the press

on August 9th.

In it, you expressed
disapproval for, in your words,

"repugnant offenders"

who should have their immunity
from prosecution taken away.

One such offender being
John Thomas Hunter,

aka Tommy Hunter,
the protected witness.

We have Hunter on tape, stating
his intention to blackmail you.

For the tape, I'm presenting
the suspect with photographs

entered in evidence...
Evidence number H86734-D.

Do you recognize the
male in this photograph?

It's me.

Speak up for the tape.

- It's me.
- And the girl?

Don't know.

For the tape, I'm
presenting the suspect

with photographs
entered in evidence...

Evidence number
H86734-A to -C, - E to -K.

That's you and the female?

Plainly.

What's happening
in these photographs?

- Who's the girl?
- I don't know.

You appear to know her
well enough in these photos.

Appear to.

This is Carly Kirk.

She was seen working
as part of the catering team

at the reception at City
Hall on the 16th of August.

Carly Kirk is 15 years old.

I...

No, um...

She looked older.

How old? 18?

Carly Kirk was a
vulnerable young girl

groomed by D.S. Manish Prasad.

You worked with Prasad in vice.

Here you are together.

Did Prasad provide you
with young women for sex?

Absolutely not.

Maybe not.

But he knew what you liked.

Did an offense take place
between you and Carly Kirk,

namely sexual
activity with a child

under the Sexual
Offences Act 2003?

It's not what it looks like.
She never got started. I...

I... I came to my senses.

Well, why did you
let it get that far?

Why do you think?

Well, I'm not an old perv,
so you'll have to tell me.

I was tempted. For a moment.

And then I chucked
her out of the car.

We believe these
photos were used

by John Thomas
Hunter to blackmail you.

John Thomas Hunter was
the target of the ambush.

Did you set up the ambush?

No, I never even
knew about Hunter.

I never knew
about this blackmail.

You turned the tables on
Hunter, had him silenced.

That is not
something I would do.

I'm not a criminal.

Well, according to these
photographs, you are.

What does the girl say is
happening in these photos?

What?

For the tape, I'm
presenting the suspect

with photographs H86734-L to -P.

The point is who
she was last seen with

before she disappeared.

Now, wait... She was murdered.

- Do you know who murdered her?
- No.

Did you murder her?

- No.
- She was strangled.

- Do you know who strangled her?
- No.

- Did you strangle her?
- No.

Her teeth were ripped out.

Her face and finger
pulps were burnt off

using a high-temperature
blowtorch.

Do you know who did that to her?

- No.
- Did you do that to her?

No!

While you've been in custody,

there's been a search of
your residence and vehicle

under Section 18

of the Police and
Criminal Evidence Act.

Our people were trying to find
clothes that you were wearing

in these photographs.

Why didn't they find any?

I d-don't know.

Because you purposefully
disposed of them

to remove any trace of this
girl's DNA and clothes fibers.

I... I-I must've, um...

I must've had a clear-out a-and
given them to the charity shop.

Same with your vehicle.

A check 'round local
businesses reveals

you had the car valeted
the very next day.

Steam-cleaned.

I didn't... I didn't want
my wife finding anything,

smelling the girl's
cheap perfume.

So you admit taking measures

to conceal evidence
you were with her.

Because I got how
incriminating it would be.

Funny, that.

You were the last
person to see Carly Kirk

before she disappeared.

The last person to see a girl

who's later found buried
under the industrial unit.

There's no evidence I did it.

Look at these photos!

You had Tommy
killed to silence him,

and you needed
to kill Carly, too.

You've got nothing connecting
me to the body. Nothing.

Your career is over, sir.

Possibly your marriage,
too. Why keep up the lies?

I'm not a criminal.
I'm an honest man.

You instigated a conspiracy

that led to the deaths
of four police officers.

The only conspiracy
is against me!

Hastings!

I know you're out
there. You're behind this.

Did they bribe you?

Get you out a mess
you made for yourself?

Hell, that's all gonna come out.

You're finished.

You're finished!

Empty threat, sir.

Michael Edward Dryden,
I hereby inform you

that the senior
investigating officer,

Superintendent Hastings,

will be submitting your case
file to the Crown prosecutor

for the purpose of
seeking authority

to charge you with
the following offenses...

Murder, conspiracy to murder,

perverting the
course of justice,

sexual activity with a child.

I'm innocent.

Someone is setting me up.

Interview terminated.

D.I. Denton's medical records.

Thank you.

Heads up, you lot.

Were killed in the
ambush on Long Lane

on the night of the
5th of September.

The detective is believed

to have worked in
witness protection

and cannot be named
due to reporting restrictions.

Police have conducted a
lengthy hunt for gunmen

described as wearing
motorcycle clothing.

Two suspects have been
captured by an operation

that has been dubbed
the most comprehensive...

has thrown up another twist

with the unexpected arrest
of a new suspect earlier today.

No official statement
has yet been released.

However, unconfirmed
sources allege that the suspect

is Deputy Chief
Constable Mike Dryden.
