Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,320
It'’s called Operation Pear Tree.
2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,080
Our brief was to embed
an undercover officer
3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,840
within an organised
crime group.
4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,280
Detective Sergeant
John Corbett.
5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,840
CORBETT: I'’m just trying
to get to the truth.
6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,080
The top brass,
they don'’t want me to succeed.
7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,600
But there'’s a bent copper
running organised crime.
8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,560
I'’m sure of it.
9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,720
The man that broke in,
I never saw his face.
10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,200
He said you'’d know why
he'’d done it.
11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,760
I assaulted your gaffer'’s wife.
12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,360
He'’ll make sure I go down.
There'’s no two ways about it.
13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,600
1-0 to 4-5,
the order is Fahrenheit.
14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,320
We'’ll lose
all of Corbett'’s intel.
15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,400
We know that Corbett
is a cold-blooded killer.
16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,480
Give yourself up!
17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,400
You shoot me
and the truth never comes out.
18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,280
HASTINGS: Lee Banks.
- Who the hell are you?
19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,600
Superintendent Hastings.
20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,360
- [Knife slices]
- You'’re a rat, John.
21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,280
A rat.
22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,840
What if he did blow
Corbett'’s cover?
23
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,640
It doesn'’t bear thinking about.
24
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,720
This is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.
25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,600
- How much?
- A hundred grand.
26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,040
MOFFATT:
Haven'’t we earned a payday?
27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,320
I don'’t want the fiasco
of Operation Pear Tree,
28
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,120
which was not of your making,
29
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,560
add a disastrous coda to an otherwise distinguished career.
30
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,120
Cover it up with all this stuff.
Come on.
31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,880
I never asked you
how your exams went.
32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,400
Yeah.
Got a date for my interview.
33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,920
It'’s clear that the threshold
test has been passed
34
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,440
and therefore it is
my lawful right to arrest you
35
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,000
on suspicion of conspiracy
to murder John Corbett.
36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,440
No, no, no.
37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,880
You will be held in custody
38
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,480
while we gather
further evidence.
39
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,240
What is happening here?
I am being framed!
40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Today was just for starters.
41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,320
Now I'’m gonna prove
that Hastings is H.
42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,280
[Low chatter]
43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,720
[Chatter quietens]
44
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,440
The inquiry into Superintendent
Hastings is not a matter
45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760
over which you'’re entitled
to exercise choice.
46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,080
Cooperation is your lawful duty
as police officers.
47
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Failure to comply is an offence
48
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,880
under police conduct
regulations.
49
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:14,000
Anyone obstructing my officers
can and will face arrest.
50
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,720
But let'’s not fall out
over this.
51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,720
I'’m sure we can
all work together nicely.
52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,920
DI Fleming, DS Arnott,
can I borrow you a minute?
53
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,640
Ma'’am.
54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,600
[Low chatter]
55
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,680
Seven years and counting.
56
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,240
No one'’s worked more closely
with Hastings than you two.
57
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,840
You'’ve better insights into the
man than anyone else in AC-12.
58
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760
So...what you know,
I need to know,
59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,320
my team needs to know.
60
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,320
Ma'’am,
I'’m not comfortable kicking
61
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,600
the Gaffer when he'’s down.
62
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:53,280
- He recruited you.
- Yes, ma'’am.
63
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,200
Mm-hm.
64
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Stuck by you when perhaps
some others wouldn'’t have,
65
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120
shagging witnesses
and suspects and the like.
66
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,760
I sympathise with
your loyalties, I really do,
67
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,680
but we have found 50 grand
stashed in his hotel room.
68
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,360
So, if I were you,
I wouldn'’t go around
69
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,280
professing too close a loyalty
to Hastings.
70
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,800
Otherwise, people might
just start suspecting you
71
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,720
of being an accessory
to his offences.
72
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,040
"H". A senior police officer
73
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,960
sitting at the top of an
institutionalised relationship
74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,920
between organised crime
75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,120
and corrupt police officers.
76
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:37,120
AC-12 failed to bring him down.
77
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,400
I won'’t.
78
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,800
[Door opens]
79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Wow.
80
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,040
- [Knock at door]
- 50 grand?
81
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Ma'’am, sarge?
Can we talk, please?
82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Sure. What'’s up?
83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560
I'’ve been looking into Corbett's
past like you asked me to.
84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,960
You said it was confidential
85
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,920
and I couldn'’t share it
with anyone.
86
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,440
- What have you found?
- Er...
87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,400
May I ask
what'’s going on in here?
88
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Yeah. A private conversation.
89
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Didn'’t you hear DCS Carmichael?
We need to know everything.
90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,600
- It'’s Michelle, isn't it?
- Yes.
91
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,160
Listen, Michelle, we'’re AC-12.
92
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,040
We do this to other units
week in week out,
93
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,760
so don'’t try telling me
how it works.
94
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,560
We'’re witnesses not suspects.
95
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,120
Now stop making a tit
of yourself and piss off.
96
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:31,640
- Sorry. Go on.
- Well...
97
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,000
It goes back to Superintendent
Hastings'’ service
98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,280
with the Royal
Ulster Constabulary.
99
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,600
When he was a PC
in the 1980s,
100
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,240
he was interviewed
in connection
101
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,520
with the disappearance of
Anne-Marie McGillis.
102
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,560
- Corbett'’s mum?
- Yeah.
103
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,440
- The records aren'’t brilliant.
- No. Never were in them days.
104
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,800
They'’ve been retained as
the disappearance is unsolved.
105
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:52,600
- You'’ve got this on file?
- Yes, sarge.
106
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,720
But I'’ve kept it
security-protected.
107
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,920
Well done. I don'’t want you
getting in trouble,
108
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,360
so you should share the file
with DCS Carmichael'’s team.
109
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,760
- Yes, ma'’am. Thank you, ma'am.
- [Kate clears her throat]
110
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,600
For Christ'’s sake, Kate.
111
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,360
I'’m just calling it
as I see it, Steve.
112
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,920
The truth comes first.
113
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,760
What, we help Carmichael hammer
nails in the Gaffer'’s coffin?
114
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,080
You heard Carmichael.
If the Gaffer is found guilty,
115
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,040
I guarantee it'’ll be us
she'’ll be after next.
116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,840
We "must'’ve known
Hastings was bent".
117
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,040
What if the Gaffer'’s innocent?
We'’ll have betrayed him.
118
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,920
He'’ll come after us
and we'’ll deserve it.
119
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,800
Yeah. Well, I don'’t know
about you, Steve,
120
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,560
but I'’m not gonna sit around and
wait for a kicking from anyone
121
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
when there'’s police work
to be done.
122
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,760
[Outer door opens]
123
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,400
GUARD: Stand clear of the door.
124
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,840
[Door clangs, buzzer]
125
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,440
[Key chain jingles]
126
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,200
[Lock turns, door squeaks]
127
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,000
Corbett'’s murder,
Hastings'’ arrest -
128
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,760
fortunately
it will all be covered
129
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,400
by our application
for Public Interest Immunity.
130
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,480
Nothing need
ever come out.
131
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,880
Unless Carmichael proves a link
between Hastings
132
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,280
and organised crime.
133
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,800
We have to go public with that.
134
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,720
There'’s pros and cons PR-wise.
135
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,680
Which makes me think we need
to erm...emphasise the wording.
136
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,240
Wording?
137
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,240
Operation Pear Tree'’s objective
138
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,440
was to examine
institutionalised links
139
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,120
between corrupt police officers
and organised criminals.
140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Most people would prefer us
spending that money
141
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,520
reducing response times,
142
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,600
putting more bobbies
on the beat.
143
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,280
Anyway,
I'’ll leave that with you.
144
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,960
Where are you going?
145
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,800
The inquiry into Superintendent
Hastings must be above reproach.
146
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,120
Wouldn'’t hurt to make sure.
147
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,280
[Door closes]
148
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,160
[Dog barking]
149
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,600
- Well, this is never easy.
- No.
150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Sorry for your loss.
151
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,880
KATE:
We'’re sorry to have to ask,
152
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,640
but we'’re making
further inquiries
153
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,680
into John'’s
undercover operation.
154
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,760
I can'’t help you.
155
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,720
I'’m not sure I would
even if I could.
156
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
I met John a few times.
157
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,320
He was a very brave man.
158
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,920
Steph, from what Merseyside
Police have told us
159
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,840
about your reaction to the news
of your husband'’s death...
160
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,760
it has made us question
some of the things
161
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,760
you said to us
when we was last here.
162
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,320
You'’re not in any trouble.
163
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,680
We just wanna do right by John.
164
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,320
- Sit down, if you like.
- Thank you.
165
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,280
It was all an act before.
166
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,080
John told me that was how
to play it. To...protect him.
167
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,800
Going back to our visit
on the 10th of March...
168
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,880
..we asked you about John'’s
links to Northern Ireland.
169
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,520
He grew up over there.
170
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:45,400
When his mum died,
he was took in by his auntie.
171
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,320
Did John
ever talk about his mum?
172
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,080
Yeah.
173
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,440
We'’ve got a name.
Anne-Marie McGillis.
174
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:54,520
Anne-Marie, yeah.
175
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,480
What did John say about her?
176
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,320
John never said much.
177
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,680
To be honest, I don'’t know
how much he ever knew.
178
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,160
He was... He was only a kid
when it all happened.
179
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,840
About nine or ten.
180
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,760
When what happened?
181
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,840
The story was Anne-Marie
was...was helping the police
182
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,800
and then the police
betrayed her...
183
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,720
..let on she was an informant,
184
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,640
and that'’s why she got killed.
185
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Did John ever say there was
a particular officer involved?
186
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,720
When he was older,
his auntie said
187
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,640
there was one that Anne-Marie
had talked about,
188
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,360
a young fella her age.
189
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,840
I think he took a shine
to her and...
190
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,560
she trusted him
to look out for her.
191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,080
He should'’ve but he didn't.
192
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Or worse.
193
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,800
What do you mean, worse?
194
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,320
Something John said.
195
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280
This copper, he was...
he was married,
196
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,040
and there was
a bit of scandal about him
197
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,800
spending so much time
round Anne-Marie'’s.
198
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,880
Maybe it suited him for
Anne-Marie to go missing.
199
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,560
Did John have
any evidence of this?
200
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,040
Not as I know of.
201
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,640
Was there a name
for this officer?
202
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,520
If there was, I never heard it.
203
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,480
Not from John.
204
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,400
Did John ever connect
this family history
205
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,480
to the undercover operation
he was involved in
206
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,880
at the time of his death?
207
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,160
John never told me
what his jobs was about,
208
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,080
for me own protection...
and his.
209
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,800
Why are you so interested
in what happened
210
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,360
in Northern Ireland?
211
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,520
Is there a connection?
212
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:37,480
We don'’t know.
213
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440
Corbett never mentioned
Hastings to Steph.
214
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,040
He was only a kid
when it happened,
215
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,720
maybe he never knew the name.
216
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Still. The undercover officer
recruited to investigate links
217
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,840
between the OCG and corrupt
officers, all the way up to H,
218
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,480
just happens to be
the son of a woman
219
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,120
murdered on the Gaffer'’s patch?
220
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,640
Now we know why Corbett was so
convinced the Gaffer'’s bent.
221
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,480
What we don'’t know is
if someone else knew
222
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,360
about Corbett'’s past link
to the Gaffer
223
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,960
or if Corbett managed to put
himself forward for the job.
224
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,480
Exactly.
225
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Any chance of it
being a coincidence?
226
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,360
Coincidence my arse.
227
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,360
I see you'’ve cleared
everybody out.
228
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,240
That will save
the mutual embarrassment
229
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,760
when I'’m reinstated.
230
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,600
DCS Carmichael
had concerns about security.
231
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,360
AC-12 had a corrupt DI
who shot his way out of here.
232
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,120
- You manage to get any sleep?
- Not much.
233
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,200
[Clears her throat]
234
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,160
Thank you, as you were.
235
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,800
This heavy mob
that you'’ve parachuted in,
236
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,000
they look a bit
trigger-happy to me.
237
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Our man, Police Sergeant
Kyle Ferringham,
238
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,640
he knows this building
inside out.
239
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,160
You will not find
a safer pair of hands.
240
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,040
You just said it. He'’s your man.
I'’ll stick with mine, thank you.
241
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,320
[DIR tone starts]
242
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,200
[DIR tone stops]
243
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,200
Second interview of Hastings
in the presence of his solicitor
244
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,520
by DCS Carmichael, DI Brandyce,
and PS Tranter.
245
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:25,920
You remain under caution.
246
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,200
As you know, you may be held
for up to 24 hours
247
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,960
at which point
you will be released
248
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,760
or charged with conspiracy
to murder John Corbett.
249
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,400
Pausing interview.
250
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,280
PS Ferringham,
on official business.
251
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,360
- What'’s going on?
- Gill Biggeloe,
252
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,560
Senior Legal Counsel
to the PCC,
253
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,320
attending as
an official observer
254
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,160
to ensure correct procedures
are followed.
255
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520
- Why wasn'’t I informed?
- You just were.
256
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:59,080
Thank you.
257
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,320
Ma'’am.
258
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,920
Hi, Ted.
259
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,000
[DIR tone starts again]
260
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,640
- [Tone stops]
- Resuming interview,
261
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,880
now with PCC'’s Senior
Legal Counsel observing.
262
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,000
- Mr Hastings...
- I... I thought, ma'’am,
263
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,480
that we had agreed that I would
be addressed by my rank?
264
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,520
Given the gravity of the charge,
265
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,040
I know we'’d both hate to be
accused of special treatment.
266
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,440
Best we treat you like
any normal, regular person
267
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,760
who'’s been accused
of plotting to kill someone,
268
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,040
don'’t you agree?
269
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,760
When did you receive
confirmation
270
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,880
that John Corbett
had assaulted your wife?
271
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,920
I'’m sorry to probe. I know this
must be extremely upsetting.
272
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,080
- On the 12th of March.
- When on the 12th of March?
273
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,640
During the operation
to apprehend him.
274
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,880
Oh. I see.
275
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,920
Talk about a pressure situation.
My heart goes out to you.
276
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,800
To have that trauma
at that same moment
277
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,800
as being in command of armed
officers surrounding Corbett.
278
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,520
Still, and I'’m sorry about this,
279
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,320
I do need to ask you about
the events that followed.
280
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,720
DI Brandyce.
281
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,440
Document 53 in your folders.
282
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,640
Document 53
is a copy of the report
283
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,760
made by the Tactical
Firearms Commander
284
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,880
during said operation
on the 12th of March.
285
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Written on the 13th of March
and received later that day
286
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,560
by the Strategic
Firearms Commander.
287
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Drawing your attention
to page 3 of said report,
288
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,320
paragraph 4.
289
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,360
"Superintendent Hastings relayed
290
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,200
a Fahrenheit order
to DS Arnott."
291
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,880
- Did you give said order?
- Yes.
292
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,600
What'’s your understanding
of said order?
293
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,400
The authority
to deploy lethal force
294
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,040
to prevent
immediate loss of life
295
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,120
or prevent immediate danger
to the public.
296
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,000
Responsibility for issuing
said order
297
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,880
lies with the Strategic
Firearms Commander.
298
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,880
For the order to be issued by
any other officer is unlawful.
299
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400
Corbett had already
drawn his firearm.
300
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,840
DS Arnott was facing
an immediate threat to life.
301
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,880
I was concerned
DS Arnott would hesitate
302
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,840
and Corbett
would discharge his firearm.
303
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,960
I gave the order
to save my officer'’s life.
304
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,880
In your mind,
having just learned
305
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,400
that Corbett
had tortured your wife...
306
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,400
..no other motivations
were at work?
307
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,520
None.
308
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,040
And he was involved
in the death
309
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,840
of one of your officers,
PC Bindra.
310
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,440
- Yes.
- You weren'’t vengeful
311
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,800
- towards Corbett?
- My first concern remained,
312
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,800
as it should do
for all police officers,
313
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,280
the preservation of life.
314
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,720
You weren'’t concerned with
preserving Corbett'’s life.
315
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,160
I did not cause his death.
316
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,200
He brought it upon himself
when he went rogue.
317
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,520
I take no pleasure in this
318
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,520
but the man had it
coming to him in spades.
319
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,880
I'’d like to return to the
remarks you made to DS Railston
320
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320
following the assault
on your wife.
321
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,040
That'’s Document 60
in your folders.
322
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,000
Document 60 is a crime report
by DS Samantha Railston
323
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,520
detailing statements
made by Edward Hastings
324
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,480
on the 8th of March.
325
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,000
Page 2, para 3:
"Superintendent Hastings stated:
326
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,200
'’Whoever's responsible
better start praying
327
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,920
he'’s up in front of the judge
before I get my hands on him.'’"
328
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,880
What did you mean by that?
329
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,520
It was rhetorical.
330
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,840
What would you have done
if, as per your statement,
331
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,720
you had "got"
your "hands on him"?
332
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,200
I'’d have done what any
police officer would have done
333
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,200
and arrested him
for grievous bodily harm.
334
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,520
What any law-abiding officer
would do.
335
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:21,960
I am a law-abiding officer.
336
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,440
And yet on the 12th of March
337
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,040
you ordered DS Arnott to shoot
John Corbett in cold blood.
338
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,760
To prevent
an immediate loss of life.
339
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,640
Later that day
you visited Lee Banks,
340
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880
an OCG member on remand
in Blackthorn Prison.
341
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,240
Yeah. To harvest information
on the OCG.
342
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,680
When DS Arnott did not deploy
lethal force against Corbett,
343
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,920
did you take matters into your
own hands and disclose to Banks
344
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,400
that John Corbett was an
undercover police officer?
345
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,560
- No, I did not.
- Disclosing this information
346
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120
with the expectation it would be
passed on to the OCG?
347
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,040
No!
348
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,760
I'’m sorry to labour something
I know you find very upsetting
349
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,120
but I'’d like to return to
350
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,680
the injuries John Corbett
inflicted on your wife.
351
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,320
- If you must.
- Thank you.
352
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,240
The case was dealt with
by the Serious Crime Unit.
353
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,680
Document 60 in your folders.
354
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Drawing your attention
to page 2, para 2:
355
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,320
"When questioned,
Superintendent Hastings
356
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:13,320
denied knowledge
of any significance
357
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,960
to the pattern of injuries
sustained by the victim."
358
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,560
That what you said
to DS Railston?
359
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Yes.
360
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,120
Thank you
for being truthful with us.
361
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,680
I can'’t tell you how much easier
that makes everything.
362
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Now, as part of our inquiry,
363
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,040
we'’ve been given access
to your service record.
364
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:33,520
The service record is summarised
in Document 2 in your folders.
365
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,080
The service record indicates
366
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:39,080
Edward Hastings joined the Royal
Ulster Constabulary in 1982
367
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,360
and served as a police constable
for seven years
368
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,800
until his promotion to police
sergeant and transfer in 1989.
369
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,360
I don'’t mean to
put you on the spot
370
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,400
but seven years'’ policing
in Northern Ireland in the 1980s
371
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,200
and you never
came across injuries
372
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,960
that involved the wrists,
knees and ankles?
373
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,160
Yeah, but you have to remember
that my team
374
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,120
had only just discovered that DS
Railston'’s Officer Commanding,
375
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,920
Detective Chief Superintendent
Hargreaves, was corrupt,
376
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,320
having been an accomplice
with the OCG
377
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:09,120
in their armed robbery
of the Eastfield Depot.
378
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,400
So you'’re offering
by way of an explanation
379
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,000
that you withheld information
380
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,040
for fear of how it
would be misused by Railston?
381
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,240
The assault on my wife
appeared to be the work of
382
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,600
the organised crime group
we were investigating -
383
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,480
a threat or a warning to me
384
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,520
to suppress the inquiry.
385
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,160
I didn'’t want to give them
the satisfaction of knowing
386
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,880
how upsetting
I found the whole event.
387
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,480
So you did appreciate the
significance of the injuries?
388
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,280
Yes, all right. Look, if you
want me to state the obvious.
389
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,440
Yes, a resemblance
to punishment and/or torture
390
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,840
meted out by paramilitary
and/or terrorist organisations.
391
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,440
Indeed, so now let'’s turn to
392
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,040
your service with the Royal
Ulster Constabulary
393
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,720
in the period 1982 to '’89
inclusive.
394
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,640
Document 62.
395
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,920
PC Edward Hastings
served in West Belfast.
396
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,680
A periodic
professional assessment
397
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,760
submitted in the summer of 1988
398
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,240
by Police Sergeant
Thomas Cranford
399
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,480
notes the following...
[Clears her throat]
400
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,960
"Hastings appears to have
401
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,920
a rapport
with the Catholic community
402
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,920
due to his own
Catholic tendencies."
403
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,240
Are you able to tell us
about your background?
404
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,200
Well, I'’d really rather not.
405
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,000
A Catholic in the RUC,
you were in the minority.
406
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,680
I was, and am, a police officer.
407
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,440
I do not discriminate against
my fellow officers
408
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,360
on grounds of creed
409
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,480
and I would appreciate
the same courtesy.
410
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,840
Well, the Sergeant writing up
411
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,040
that RUC periodic
professional assessment
412
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,960
didn'’t mind referring to it.
413
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,800
Document 62 continued,
414
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,600
"Hastings'’ family background
is more complicated,
415
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,120
which may prove valuable
in future assignments."
416
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,160
What did he mean by that?
417
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,240
- You'’d have to ask him.
- We did.
418
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,840
Document 65 in your folders.
419
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,600
Statement by former
Police Sergeant,
420
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,920
now retired, Thomas Cranford,
421
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,200
submitted to
Anti-Corruption Unit 3
422
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,560
on the 14th of March.
423
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,600
"We all thought
he was Protestant.
424
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,960
"Edward" and "Hastings"... What
else is the fella going to be?
425
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,680
Turned out that was
a sensitive subject.
426
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,480
His old man was a Protestant
but he'’d married a Catholic
427
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,200
and when he went off, his mum
brought up young Ted that way."
428
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,480
- Why did you leave the RUC?
- Well...
429
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,360
The kind of talk we just heard
being quoted didn'’t help.
430
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,560
In 1989,
you suffered serious injuries.
431
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,640
On the 29th of June, 1989,
432
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,880
an RUC patrol vehicle
drove over a pipe bomb,
433
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,800
causing the death of
PC Patrick O'’Malley
434
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,160
and serious injury
to PC Edward Hastings.
435
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Hm, two Catholic officers
targeted...
436
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,040
Yeah, well, it doesn'’t take
a genius to see why
437
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,360
I put in for a transfer.
438
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,640
Or were you targeted
for another reason?
439
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,800
I don'’t know
what you'’re referring to.
440
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,840
I'’d like to examine events
in the period 1988-89
441
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,440
and specifically a special
assignment you took part in.
442
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,120
Do you recognise the name
Anne-Marie McGillis?
443
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,680
For the DIR, I'’m showing
interviewee Image 41,
444
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,360
an RUC file photograph
of Anne-Marie McGillis.
445
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:03,840
Mr Hastings?
446
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:11,280
You'’re going back 30 years here.
Come on.
447
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Well, let'’s see if this
can jog your memory.
448
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:15,960
Document 78 in your folders.
449
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Document 78 is a report
450
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,840
entered into the Royal Ulster
Constabulary files
451
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,720
on Missing Persons,
dated the 23rd of May, 1989.
452
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,800
Anne-Marie McGillis
was reported missing
453
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,800
on the 19th of April, 1989.
454
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,400
The night before,
Tuesday the 18th of April,
455
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,680
Anne-Marie left her son
with a neighbour,
456
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,720
informing the neighbour
she was popping out
457
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,320
for a couple of hours
to visit a friend in hospital.
458
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:41,080
Anne-Marie never returned
to collect her son.
459
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,880
No witnesses came forward
to reveal Anne-Marie'’s movements
460
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,280
on the night she disappeared.
461
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600
No one known to Anne-Marie
was able to identify
462
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,080
the family friend who was
admitted into hospital.
463
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:53,040
Missing Persons concluded
that this person didn'’t exist,
464
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,120
that Anne-Marie
had deceived her neighbour
465
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,000
regarding her activities
on the night she disappeared.
466
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,120
A number of individuals
known to Anne-Marie
467
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,760
were interviewed
in the missing persons inquiry.
468
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,520
One such individual was Police
Constable Edward Hastings.
469
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,840
Do you recall these events,
Mr Hastings?
470
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,000
Some.
471
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,840
What do you recall?
472
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,680
Well, Anne-Marie'’s husband
473
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,200
had been murdered
a few years before.
474
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,800
Apparently he was active
during the Troubles
475
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000
in one of those nasty little
tit-for-tat killings.
476
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,760
Anyway, she blamed someone
higher up the chain of command
477
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840
for her husband'’s death.
You know...
478
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,600
She felt that he was
sacrificed needlessly.
479
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,560
Grief, I think...
480
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,640
..made her turn to
passing information
481
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,760
to the police
about terrorist activities.
482
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,800
She was a CHIS, an informant?
483
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,240
Yeah.
484
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,840
And did you play a role in
Anne-Marie serving as a CHIS?
485
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,440
Yeah, well, she lived on my
patch. You know, in those days
486
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,280
it was very difficult for the
RUC to enter certain areas,
487
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,400
to...to put it mildly,
488
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,760
and I think some local women
489
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600
found out my mother was
a Catholic and that I was too
490
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,760
and I think that bought
a bit of trust.
491
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,080
You were instrumental in
Anne-Marie trusting police
492
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,600
with information
she was disclosing
493
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,560
- about terrorist organisations?
- I helped, that'’s all.
494
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,840
Did you have meetings
with Mrs McGillis?
495
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,480
Some.
496
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,880
According to the file you didn'’t
always meet in covert locations.
497
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,960
You were seen entering
and leaving her home.
498
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,320
Yes, well, you know, I'’d give
her a hand with odd jobs.
499
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:27,240
There was no man
about the house.
500
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,640
I'’m no expert in RUC
covert tactics in the 1980s
501
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,400
but I'’d have thought
making it appear
502
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,360
a young woman
from a Republican community
503
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,800
has some kind of friendship
with a police officer
504
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,360
is only going to invite trouble,
505
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,200
the sort of trouble that might
get you targeted by a pipe bomb
506
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,120
or get
your lady friend murdered.
507
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,080
I object to
the term "lady friend".
508
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,040
What level of friendship was it?
509
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,040
What do you mean?
510
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,720
She was
an attractive young widow.
511
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,320
Yes, and I was a married man!
512
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,560
The file says there were rumours
you were conducting an affair.
513
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,080
Yeah, but that'’s what they were:
rumours. Just gossip.
514
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,920
Drummed up by people no better
than they should'’ve been.
515
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,760
Regardless,
you can see how your intimacy
516
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,480
could'’ve put
Anne-Marie in jeopardy.
517
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,200
That'’s not what happened!
518
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960
[Sighs]
519
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,160
Did she meet a police officer
to pass information
520
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,480
on the evening of
Tuesday the 18th of April, 1989?
521
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,200
Yes.
522
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,160
- You?
- Yes.
523
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,880
What happened that night?
524
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,280
Well, she told me
that she'’d made up some story
525
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,120
about going to visit
a sick friend.
526
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,680
She passed the information to me
527
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,800
and as far as I know
she returned home.
528
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,600
Were you involved
in her disappearance?
529
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,960
No.
530
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,760
As God is my witness,
I was not.
531
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:45,960
According to the file,
532
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,880
you were the last person
to see her alive.
533
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,520
That is an equivocation,
Detective Chief Superintendent,
534
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,080
as well you now.
535
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:55,400
I'’ll rephrase.
536
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,120
You were the last person
537
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,080
to admit to police
in an official statement
538
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:00,880
to seeing
Anne-Marie McGillis alive.
539
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,520
I watched her walk down
the street, turn the corner.
540
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,240
Anne-Marie McGillis
trusted you implicitly.
541
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,760
Yes, I believe she did.
542
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,200
One theory considered by the RUC
543
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,760
is you exploited that
to lure Anne-Marie to her death.
544
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,720
- Completely false.
- That as a Catholic
545
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,640
you were susceptible to
relationships with
546
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,840
the organisations
Anne-Marie was informing on.
547
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,080
Look, you know, growing up
back then, in the '’70s,
548
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,480
they were everywhere,
part of the culture.
549
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,800
This sort of organisation?
550
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,040
Oh, come on, no. I didn'’t
want any part of that.
551
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,280
I became a police officer.
552
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,240
Anything familiar
about their appearance?
553
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,160
It was a different time,
different thing.
554
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,960
They'’re wearing the clothing
associated with OCGs
555
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,800
AC-12 have been investigating
for seven years or more.
556
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,560
There'’s no direct connection!
557
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,920
Anne-Marie McGillis'’s remains
weren'’t found until 2001.
558
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,880
Document 72.
559
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,400
Document 72
is the postmortem report
560
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,520
on Anne-Marie McGillis.
561
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Cause of death was a single
gunshot wound to the head.
562
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,240
Additional gunshot wounds
were detected bilaterally
563
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,200
on the victim'’s wrists,
knees and ankles.
564
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,400
Lesions caused by haemorrhage
indicate these gunshot wounds
565
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,040
were inflicted
when the victim was still alive.
566
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Anne-Marie McGillis was tortured
567
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,320
in the same pattern
as that inflicted on your wife.
568
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:11,120
Well, that'’s
how they did it back then.
569
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,680
But this does not necessitate
a direct connection.
570
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,120
Her son. Did you ever meet him?
571
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,120
Er...
572
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,840
No. She always left her son
with some neighbours
573
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,360
or a family friend.
574
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,400
- She never wanted him involved.
- When Anne-Marie disappeared,
575
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,880
her son was orphaned
at the age of ten.
576
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,440
He was taken in by Anne-Marie'’s
sister and brother-in-law
577
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,840
who resided in Liverpool.
578
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,280
The boy was adopted
and he took her surname.
579
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,680
Corbett.
580
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,640
John Corbett.
581
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,920
[Breathing heavily]
582
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,240
Corbett was Anne-Marie'’s
wee fella?
583
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,280
[Sobs] Oh, no.
584
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,400
GILL:
Would you like a break, Ted?
585
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,720
Yes, of course.
586
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,680
HASTINGS:
[Strained] OK.
587
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,360
- Anything I can do, sir?
- Just give me a minute.
588
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,840
[Sobs]
589
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,640
Mark Moffatt.
590
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,560
- DI Fleming.
- DS Arnott.
591
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,080
Do you have a minute, sir?
592
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:03,400
The sir'’s long gone.
593
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,760
Mark'’s fine.
594
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,320
I don'’t know if you remember us
from AC-12.
595
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,360
- Can you give us a minute?
- Yeah, sure.
596
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,800
Water under the bridge,
as far as I'’m concerned.
597
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,280
No hard feelings.
598
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,400
We have some questions about
your commercial relationship
599
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,360
with Superintendent
Hastings.
600
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,400
Well, Ted was
an original investor
601
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,240
in a development that went south
about six years back.
602
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,240
We got it back on track,
so I offered Ted a buy-in
603
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,240
to try and recoup
his original losses.
604
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,760
And did he?
605
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Unfortunately he couldn'’t
come up with the funds.
606
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,640
According to
Superintendent Hastings,
607
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,760
you loaned him £50,000 off book.
608
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,040
[Laughing] 50?
609
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,760
Yeah. That'’s the figure
we'’ve been given.
610
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,880
I don'’t know
how Ted'’s got that idea.
611
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,040
Does the name John Corbett
mean anything to you?
612
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,000
No. Sorry.
613
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,600
If that'’s all?
614
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,240
Thanks for your time.
615
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Give Ted my best.
616
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,160
Well, we drew a blank
on Corbett.
617
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,680
Well, you saw his reaction
when we mentioned the 50 grand.
618
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Something'’s not right.
Need to find out what.
619
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,680
[DIR tone starts]
620
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,520
[Tone stops]
621
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,760
Resuming interview.
You remain under caution.
622
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,280
Now let'’s examine in more detail
623
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,840
some evidence we found in your
hotel room on the 14th of March.
624
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,000
Image 9.
625
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,960
You'’ll recall Image 9
shows item reference MB-1.
626
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,840
You'’ll recall
item reference MB-1
627
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,640
is a brown envelope
addressed to you
628
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,040
containing
item reference MB-2.
629
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,320
MB-2 are banknotes
in the sum of £50,000.
630
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,640
Superintendent Hastings
has already given
631
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,520
a full and clear explanation
regarding this item.
632
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,160
To summarise,
633
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,880
it was an unsolicited advance
on future profits.
634
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,120
Superintendent Hastings
635
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,240
was extremely uncomfortable
about the loan
636
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,280
and phoned Mark Moffatt
to return the money.
637
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,640
DI Brandyce.
638
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,240
We took further steps to detect
the source of said cash.
639
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,480
I told you,
it came from Mark Moffatt.
640
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,600
DI Brandyce.
641
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,560
Document 40 in your folders.
642
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,920
Forensic analysis
of banknotes MB-2
643
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,480
detected microscopic
pollen deposits.
644
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,040
Pollen grains detected on MB-2
645
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,240
were subjected
to chemical analysis.
646
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,080
The chemical structure of
pollen grains detected on MB-2
647
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,240
closely resembles
the chemical structure
648
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,200
of pollen grains detected
on items of evidence
649
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,240
gathered during AC-12'’s inquiry
into Operation Pear Tree.
650
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,800
Said evidence
are item reference JLM-5
651
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,200
and item reference JD-5.
652
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,240
Image 12, Tina.
653
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,880
Image 12 shows
654
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,880
a cache of banknotes
in the sum of £25,000
655
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,160
detected under floorboards
at 21 Cleric Way.
656
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,440
Recognise the banknotes
shown in the image?
657
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,000
- No, no, I do not.
- Said banknotes were detected
658
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,200
at a property belonging
to Vihaan Malhotra.
659
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,720
Image 31.
660
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,960
Image 31 shows
item reference JD-5.
661
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,800
JD-5 is a cache of banknotes
in the sum of £5,000
662
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,880
- detected at 17 Hazelton St.
- Said banknotes were detected
663
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,960
at a property
belonging to PS Jane Cafferty.
664
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,400
The similar pollen structures
665
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,840
detected on items
JD-5, JLM-5 and MB-2
666
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,120
indicate a 99.5% probability
667
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,480
the items derive from
the same original source.
668
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,000
I have not been bribed!
669
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,920
The 50 grand found in your hotel
room came from the same pot
670
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,560
as that used to bribe Vihaan
Malhotra and PS Jane Cafferty.
671
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,600
And according to evidence
obtained by your own unit,
672
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,520
those individuals
were in the pay
673
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,360
of the same
organised crime group
674
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,080
in which John Corbett
was embedded.
675
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,080
I do not have a connection
with Malhotra or Cafferty!
676
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,440
- This bribe proves you do.
- No.
677
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,160
Was it an inducement or a reward
for telling Lee Banks
678
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,880
the identity of the undercover
officer within the OCG?
679
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,360
I disclosed nothing to Banks.
680
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,240
A disclosure which brought about
the murder of John Corbett.
681
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,280
- No.
- What was Corbett onto
682
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,640
that you were so desperate
to keep hidden?
683
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,520
I'’ll repeat the question.
684
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,200
What was John Corbett onto
685
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,160
that you were so desperate
to keep hidden?
686
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,040
Look...
687
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,560
..you have fabricated a motive
where none existed.
688
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,680
Who would want
John Corbett dead?
689
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,800
- What do you mean?
- If you didn'’t, who would?
690
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,440
Clearly any individual
against whom
691
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,440
John Corbett might be
gathering evidence,
692
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,000
including members of the OCG
with whom he was embedded.
693
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Were there any specific corrupt
police officers targeted
694
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,000
- by Operation Pear Tree?
- Not that I'’m aware of.
695
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,560
Hm.
696
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,720
Now Document 5 in your folders.
697
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,840
This is a copy of a document
seized by AC-12
698
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,920
on the 23rd of February
699
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,600
from the offices
of Operation Pear Tree.
700
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,280
I direct you to
page 6, paragraph 6.
701
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,280
"It remains to be determined
702
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,120
if police officers of senior
and/or executive rank
703
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,920
are actively complicit in
organised criminal activities
704
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,480
either as individuals
or as a conspiracy.
705
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,680
A hypothesis to be examined
by the operation
706
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,240
is that said alleged complicity
707
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,760
is orchestrated by
a single police officer
708
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,320
of senior or executive rank."
709
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,760
Do you recognise those words?
710
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,160
Yeah, yeah. I'’ve read the file.
711
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,520
There'’s a helluva lot of
ifs and buts in there.
712
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,720
Page 6, paragraph 8:
713
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,200
"DI Matthew Cottan,
714
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,000
serving in
Anti-Corruption Unit 12
715
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,000
from 2013 until his death,
716
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,880
recorded a dying declaration
on the 18th of July, 2015."
717
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,840
Thank you, Tina.
718
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,680
KATE: Who was top dog, Dot?
719
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,840
You were the Caddy.
720
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,400
We know that.
721
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,640
[Sirens in distance]
722
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,080
- Told...
- Told?
723
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,640
You told someone,
someone very senior.
724
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,480
DOT: Prom...
725
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,760
KATE: Promotion?
Someone promoted you?
726
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,160
Who?
727
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,360
Come on, Dot.
728
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,960
Come in, he can'’t talk.
729
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,720
Right, blink for the first
two letters of his name.
730
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,400
A, B, C, D,
731
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,160
E, F, G,
732
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,800
H, I...
733
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,880
H. His name begins with H.
734
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,120
Right, second letter.
735
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,720
A, B, C, D,
736
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,680
- E...
- That'’s it. Out of the way!
737
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,840
I'’ll start bagging.
738
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,120
Thank you, Tina.
739
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,560
In his dying declaration,
DI Cottan declared that
740
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,280
the name of the senior officer
741
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,080
commanding the complicity with
organised crime began with H.
742
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,840
Page 6, paragraph 8 continued,
743
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,720
"An investigation by AC-12
744
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,680
concluded in 2017
745
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:54,040
that H was Assistant
Chief Constable Derek Hilton.
746
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,840
Hilton was found dead
on the 5th of May, 2017.
747
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,840
However, the hypothesis
must be examined
748
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,000
that H is an officer
other than Hilton."
749
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,240
Recall these words?
750
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,440
The evidence against Hilton
was overwhelming.
751
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,600
Clearly, if any new evidence
came to light,
752
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,200
AC-12 would gladly investigate.
753
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:12,840
Has any other officer
ever been accused of being H?
754
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,480
I'’ll repeat the question.
755
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,000
Has any other senior officer
ever been accused of being H?
756
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,680
- Yes.
- Who?
757
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,840
The accusation
was a calculated falsehood
758
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,600
designed to sabotage a lawful
anti-corruption inquiry.
759
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,520
Who was accused?
760
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,360
In an effort to sabotage
an AC-12 inquiry
761
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,400
that was about to uncover
his own offences,
762
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,440
Assistant Chief Constable
Derek Hilton
763
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,160
falsely accused the Senior
Investigating Officer...
764
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,920
in order to discredit AC-12,
765
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,480
discredit the inquiry
766
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,960
and to protect
his own wrongdoing.
767
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,920
The SIO being who?
768
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,840
Myself.
769
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,840
To be clear, you were served
with a Regulation 15 Notice.
770
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,280
The allegation against
Superintendent Hastings
771
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,920
was disproved.
772
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,160
It wasn'’t disproved.
773
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,600
There was insufficient evidence
to prove it.
774
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,240
I'’d argue
they'’re the same thing.
775
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,800
They'’re not. They're really not.
776
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,320
Detective Chief Superintendent,
777
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,760
better to save the commentary
and stick to asking questions.
778
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,720
Just saying.
779
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,160
While I'’ve got your attention,
780
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,400
I wonder if we can dig into
781
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,400
this search of Superintendent
Hastings'’ hotel room.
782
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,200
- This has all been covered.
- Not by me.
783
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,880
What were the grounds
for the search?
784
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,720
Section 18 [5].
785
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,040
Well, why then does Document 12
in your folders,
786
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,640
the arresting officer'’s report,
787
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,600
refer to Section 32
as the legal power used
788
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,240
to carry out the search?
789
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,360
DI Brandyce?
790
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,280
The correct search form
was supplied.
791
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,920
Afterwards, yes,
792
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,880
but initially it seems that
the officers at the scene
793
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,920
of Superintendent
Hastings'’ arrest
794
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,360
were under the impression
795
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,240
that the search was being
carried out under Section 32.
796
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,080
You were there at that time,
weren'’t you?
797
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,400
- Yes.
- So under what power
798
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,560
did you carry out the search
at the time?
799
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,000
There was some confusion.
800
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,000
I see that, DI Brandyce.
801
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,120
You carried out the search
under Section 32.
802
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,520
There'’s even the original
search form in the file.
803
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,080
Thank you.
804
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,360
As we all know,
805
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,320
Section 32 permits
the search of a premises
806
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,040
the detainee was at
either at the time of his arrest
807
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,000
or immediately
prior to that arrest.
808
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,560
I refer to Document 13
in your folders,
809
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,960
the statement
given by Superintendent Hastings
810
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,560
on the 14th of March.
811
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,200
Superintendent Hastings
812
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:49,000
states that he travelled
from this office,
813
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,640
Anti-Corruption Unit 12,
814
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,680
to the Edge Park Hotel.
815
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,200
Superintendent Hastings
816
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:56,400
wasn'’t in his hotel room
at the time of his arrest
817
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,600
or immediately prior.
818
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,440
Section 32
was the incorrect legal power.
819
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,520
This mistake was detected
and corrected
820
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,400
only after the search.
821
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,160
Now, as items MB-1 and MB-2
submitted in evidence
822
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,560
were detected unlawfully,
823
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,960
I can'’t see how
the cache of £50,000
824
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,240
can be used in evidence
against Superintendent Hastings.
825
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,240
Well, that is
for a court to decide.
826
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,840
Well, given what I'’ve heard,
827
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,800
the judge will almost certainly
exclude it.
828
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,680
And it'’s the only evidence
you'’ve got
829
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:29,360
linking Superintendent Hastings
to organised crime.
830
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,560
[She taps a pen]
831
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,080
I think we'’ll call
a temporary halt,
832
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,280
give my team time to examine
further evidence.
833
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,240
Mr Hastings, you will
be returned to custody
834
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,560
and charged or released
835
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,800
within 24 hours
of your original arrest.
836
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,360
Approximately six hours.
837
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,080
Interview terminated.
838
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,960
- [She clears her throat] May I?
- Yes.
839
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,680
Yes, of course.
840
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,160
Gill, I don'’t know what to say.
841
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,520
I am not gonna lie, Ted,
842
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,320
it is a good job that
someone was paying attention.
843
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,640
God knows where your solicitor
was during all that.
844
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,480
Everything is here
in black and white.
845
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,880
I know. I don'’t know why
I didn'’t see it myself.
846
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,600
The idea that you are corrupt
is ridiculous.
847
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,520
Clearly, Mark Moffatt'’s
lying about the money.
848
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,680
You don'’t have a bent bone
in your body.
849
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,160
This'’ll all go away, Ted.
850
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,320
Trust me.
851
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,840
Thanks, Gill.
852
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,800
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
853
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,720
DI Fleming, DS Arnott
to see DSU Powell.
854
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,920
[Door opens]
855
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,880
It'’s fine, I've got this.
856
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,880
- Ma'’am.
- Ma'’am.
857
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,640
Detective Superintendent
Alison Powell
858
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,120
with DI Fleming,
DS Arnott, AC-12.
859
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,200
Confirm that you grant
permission for this recording.
860
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:21,920
- DI Fleming, confirmed.
- DS Arnott, confirmed.
861
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,680
We'’d like to fill in
some background
862
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:25,360
on how John Corbett
was recruited.
863
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,720
How was Corbett assigned
as the UCO?
864
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,600
John was one of
a number of candidates
865
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,520
considered for the role.
866
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,960
He presented with
a distinguished record
867
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
of successful operations
against organised crime.
868
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,360
Did he come to you first, ma'’am?
Did he volunteer?
869
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,320
What are you getting at,
DI Fleming?
870
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,320
It'’s a straight question, ma'am.
871
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,680
There was a shortlist,
the candidates were evaluated,
872
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:52,640
Corbett was selected as
the right officer for the job.
873
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,600
Who selected him?
874
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,720
Look...
875
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,240
I made the recommendations
on Corbett.
876
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,160
This was my operation.
877
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,680
But you can'’t put
all of this on me.
878
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:08,760
I wasn'’t
the only person involved.
879
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,440
Who else was involved
in selecting Corbett?

- What new evidence?
- Great, thanks.

You remain under caution.

Have you considered
with your solicitor

00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,240
the new documents
disclosed to you?
917
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,840
I have.
918
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,760
Edward Hastings,
when was the last time
919
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,520
you were in contact
with John Corbett?
920
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:44,760
Never.
921
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,560
Have you ever been near enough
922
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,120
to make physical contact
with John Corbett?
923
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,120
[Mutters] Never. Never.
924
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,120
I'’ll ask you again.
925
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,760
When were you last in physical
contact with John Corbett?
926
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,400
I only ever saw the fella once.
927
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,320
It was across a very busy street
928
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,200
during an AC-12
surveillance operation.
929
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:06,000
Must have been 100 yards away.
930
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,880
As you see in
the disclosure documents,
931
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,480
specifically Document 106
in your folders,
932
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,560
forensic examination of
Corbett'’s body
933
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,200
has detected human hairs
not belonging to him.
934
00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:17,440
Said hairs were attached
to follicular cells,
935
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,120
which permitted DNA analysis.
936
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,440
The DNA found
in these follicular cells
937
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,160
matches that of a person
on the police database
938
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,640
who is a police officer who has
submitted a DNA sample
939
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,200
for routine elimination from
crime scene contamination.
940
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:33,600
As you know from the documents
disclosed to you,
941
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,360
the DNA deposits detected
on John Corbett'’s body
942
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,760
match your elimination samples.
943
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,120
I'’ve never been within 100 yards
of John Corbett.
944
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,200
Your DNA was found on his body.
Can you explain this finding?
945
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:47,240
I can'’t!
It must have been planted.
946
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,200
As a result of this evidence,
I have been in consultation
947
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:52,840
with the Senior Prosecutor
in the Complex Case Unit.
948
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,600
I did not kill Corbett!
949
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,440
The evidence against you
is sufficient
950
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,280
to charge you with the murder
of John Corbett.
951
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,000
No, I'’m being framed.
952
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,480
I'’ll move on to examine your
motive for murdering Corbett.
953
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,480
I did not murder Corbett!
954
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,840
May I ask, given the gravity
of the murder charge,
955
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,800
why are you continuing?
956
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,680
I have been tasked
with investigating
957
00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:14,400
the highest level of corruption
between police officers
958
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,240
and organised crime -
the highest level.
959
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:17,920
HASTINGS: I am not corrupt!
960
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,200
I'’m the one who's leading
the fight against corruption!
961
00:46:21,240 --> 00:46:23,240
The highest level...
962
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,680
is the individual codenamed "H".
963
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,080
Significantly,
Cottan led AC-12'’s inquiry
964
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,120
into the identity
of the police officer
965
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,640
believed to be the intermediary
for organised crime,
966
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,200
codenamed "the Caddy".
967
00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:39,520
The Caddy was identified
as being Cottan himself.
968
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,240
Superintendent Hastings was
the Senior Investigating Officer
969
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,200
on the inquiry into H.
970
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,400
I see an interesting parallel
there.
971
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,840
No, no. There'’s no parallel
there, I'’m not H.
972
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,160
Still, there was an allegation
that you were.
973
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,280
Why were you reluctant
to entrust the investigation
974
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,360
to an independent
Anti-Corruption unit?
975
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:00,640
I-I wasn'’t.
976
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,600
Why did you shoot
Robert Denmoor?
977
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,400
TRANTER: Image 76 on screen.
978
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,400
Image 76 shows Robert Denmoor,
a violent criminal,
979
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,040
with known associations
to organised crime.
980
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,680
Denmoor was incriminated
in a plot
981
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:14,880
to tamper with evidence
in Operation Trapdoor.
982
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,560
Denmoor was shot dead
by Superintendent Hastings
983
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,840
on the ground floor
of AC-12'’s headquarters
984
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,920
on the 4th of May, 2017.
985
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,200
Denmoor posed
an immediate threat to life
986
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,640
and lethal force
was required to stop him.
987
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,680
Therefore, the coroner...
988
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:31,360
recorded a finding
of "lawful killing".
989
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,320
The official report records
there were a dozen AFOs
990
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,600
on the scene and none of them
opened fire.
991
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,000
According to the report,
you snatched a firearm
992
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,440
from a wounded AFO.
993
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,920
Yeah, I did.
994
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,720
The round fired by you prevented
questioning of Denmoor.
995
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,480
Prevented the loss of life.
996
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,400
Denmoor would have been
a key witness
997
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,560
who could have confirmed
Hilton as H.
998
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,440
- Yes.
- Or excluded him.
999
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:53,680
Yes, also.
1000
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:55,600
You were prepared to lose
priceless evidence -
1001
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,920
the same judgment you
demonstrated on 12th March,
1002
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,440
when you ordered DS Arnott
1003
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,760
to deploy lethal force
against John Corbett.
1004
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,320
I told you, Corbett was armed,
1005
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,840
he was responsible for
the deaths of Maneet Bindra,
1006
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,200
Lester Hargreaves.
1007
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:09,840
I gave the order to safeguard
my officer'’s life.
1008
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,480
Corbett was notifying DS Arnott
of a meeting
1009
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,560
with a high-ranking nominal
who could well have been H.
1010
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,600
But Corbett was a liar!
1011
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,280
He was playing games
with all of us.
1012
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,040
He was a decorated
undercover officer
1013
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,040
whose courageous actions
brought to justice
1014
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,960
members
of organised criminal groups.
1015
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,560
Corbett gave DS Arnott alone
details of the meeting with H.
1016
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,840
He did.
1017
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,920
You ordered DS Arnott
to disclose those details?
1018
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,880
Damn right! I was his commanding
officer, for Christ'’s sake!
1019
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,400
What the hell'’s going on here?
1020
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,440
At that meeting, 12th March at
the Palisades Shopping Centre,
1021
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,520
- what happened?
- No meeting took place.
1022
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,880
- Why do you think that was?
- Well...
1023
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,200
Corbett was about to be
apprehended by AC-12.
1024
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:49,840
I suspect he lied about the
meeting at the Palisades
1025
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,360
to secure his own escape.
1026
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,480
Or he was telling the truth and
the information was leaked to H.
1027
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,840
We detected no evidence
of a leak.
1028
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,800
We examined your personal
communications records
1029
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,480
and found no suspicious calls.
1030
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,680
But I do need you to account
for two unexplained findings.
1031
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:11,520
We'’ve detected activity
in the vicinity of AC-12
1032
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,560
on unregistered mobile phones,
1033
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,960
so-called burner phones,
used for illicit communications.
1034
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,360
We'’ve identified a specific
burner phone. Tina, thank you.
1035
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,440
Document 92 is a call history of
an unregistered mobile:
1036
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,520
07700 900856.
1037
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,440
The device shows
clusters of activity
1038
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,200
in the vicinity of AC-12
over the last six weeks,
1039
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:38,000
also engaged in communication
with other burner phones.
1040
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,440
Cross-checking with door entry
download data reveals
1041
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,960
only one AC-12 officer was in
the building on every occasion
1042
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,040
07700 900856 was detected.
1043
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,800
That officer was Superintendent
Edward Hastings.
1044
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,800
Is 07700 900856 your phone?
1045
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,200
- No, it is not.
- Did you dispose of the phone?
1046
00:49:58,240 --> 00:49:59,640
There was never a phone.
1047
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,520
Have you ever disposed of
a communications device?
1048
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,240
Tina.
1049
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,240
Document 24. Document 24...
1050
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,600
shows screenshots from a laptop
forensically recovered
1051
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,000
from the Flicker nightclub
used by Lisa McQueen
1052
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,240
and John Corbett
to communicate with H.
1053
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:20,640
As we can see,
H issued his orders via text.
1054
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,480
I repeat. Have you ever disposed
of a communications device?
1055
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,520
- No.
- PS Tranter, thank you.
1056
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,080
As stated by DCS Carmichael,
1057
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,520
we examined the communication
history of Edward Hastings.
1058
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,240
Document 28 in your folders
1059
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,480
is said communication history
relating to your personal mobile
1060
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,040
and your work registered
mobile telephone.
1061
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,600
From these phones, we'’ve been
able to harvest location data.
1062
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,160
We detected suspicious behaviour
on the 5th of March.
1063
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,320
Location data places both phones
at the Edge Park Hotel
1064
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,760
around 1500 hours that day.
1065
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,760
The user then switches off both
phones for the rest of the day.
1066
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,480
When location data resumes
the next day, the 6th of March,
1067
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,240
the phones are back
in the Edge Park Hotel.
1068
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,880
Why did you switch off
your phones?
1069
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,840
I um... I really don'’t recall.
1070
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,440
Do you recall the significance
of that date, 5th March?
1071
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,120
Er...no.
1072
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,600
That night the OCG carried out a
robbery at the Eastfield Depot,
1073
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,080
making away with seized goods
with an estimated street value
1074
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,560
of £50 million.
1075
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,880
OK, look, I'’m sorry. The date
must have slipped my mind.
1076
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,560
Where were you from 1500 hours
on the 5th of March?
1077
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,840
Well, I remained...
1078
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,960
I remained in and around
the Edge Park Hotel on standby
1079
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,040
for developments for AC-12'’s
surveillance operation
1080
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:36,480
on the Eastfield Depot.
1081
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,440
This was a...
a hugely important operation.
1082
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,840
Wasn'’t it essential
that you be contactable?
1083
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,520
Well, we'’d established a direct
line of communication
1084
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,080
through Airwave radio.
1085
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,400
I had direct dial access
to my officers.
1086
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,000
My own works phone
was redundant.
1087
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,960
Why didn'’t you attend
the operation in person?
1088
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,640
To ensure
operational independence.
1089
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,480
DI Fleming, she acted as the
Tactical Firearms Commander
1090
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,240
under an independent Strategic
Firearms Commander.
1091
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,360
The result being your
whereabouts were unknown
1092
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,640
until you made contact via an
Airwave radio later that night.
1093
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,280
That'’s neither here nor there.
1094
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,120
We attempted to trace your
movements on 5th March.
1095
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:17,840
Tina, thank you.
1096
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,960
Starting from a radius of 100
metres around Edge Park Hotel,
1097
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,120
we examined CCTV
and traffic cameras - Image 32.
1098
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,280
CARMICHAEL:
Who'’s seen in this image?
1099
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,080
- Me.
- What'’s the package you carry?
1100
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,440
I'’m reserving comment.
1101
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,000
We traced the taxi'’s journey to
a drop-off point in Moss Heath.
1102
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,880
Again, we examined CCTV cameras
in a 100-metre radius.
1103
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,080
Image 33.
1104
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,400
CARMICHAEL:
Who'’s seen in this image?
1105
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,960
- Me.
- And what are you doing?
1106
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,520
We know from the recovered
laptop from the nightclub
1107
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,680
that the OCG communicated
with H via online messaging.
1108
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:08,360
Examination of the OCG'’s
laptop'’s hard drive
1109
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,320
revealed a sophisticated
re-routing system
1110
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,640
via various VPNs
to disguise H'’s IP address.
1111
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,800
And while we'’re still unable
to determinate H'’s location,
1112
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,680
we know for certain that
the hard drive of the computer
1113
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:24,000
would contain metadata
proving it was used
1114
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,040
to communicate with the OCG.
1115
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,400
Evidence that he would take
great pains to dispose of.
1116
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,240
OK.
1117
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,600
Well, we shall come back to it.
1118
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,640
As we'’ve established,
the night of the 5th of March
1119
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,160
saw the OCG robbery
at the Eastfield Depot.
1120
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,200
At 2240 hours that night,
1121
00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:05,160
a Status Zero radio call was
made by PC Kieran Bloom,
1122
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,880
requesting urgent assistance
to Farmers Lane.
1123
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,920
How did you respond
to that emergency call?
1124
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,880
The Authorised Firearms Officers
1125
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,160
who were giving assistance to
the AC-12 surveillance
1126
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,200
of the Eastfield Depot
1127
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:18,840
were the nearest
Armed Response Unit.
1128
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:22,520
So, given our responsibility
towards preserving life,
1129
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,080
I authorised the AFOs
to render assistance.
1130
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,720
As a result of your actions, the
OCG were able to flee Eastfield
1131
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,160
with £50 million worth
of seized goods.
1132
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:37,080
My decision was based on
saving police officers'’ lives.
1133
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,600
Priceless, I would say.
1134
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,920
H would have wanted the robbery
to succeed, wouldn'’t he,
1135
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,240
so that he could have shared
in the proceeds?
1136
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:46,560
That'’s hypothetical.
1137
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,560
You went to a nightclub
known to be an OCG haunt
1138
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,320
in the hope of
effecting a meeting
1139
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,560
without independent
authorisation.
1140
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,440
Yeah, but look, you know...
1141
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,480
they'’d killed Maneet, they'd
murdered Lester Hargreaves,
1142
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,160
they'’d held up
the Eastfield Depot.
1143
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:05,600
Time was running out.
1144
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,760
You pretended to be H
successfully enough
1145
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,680
for the OCG to share with you
the proceeds of the robbery.
1146
00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:15,080
No, I was using them to find out
where the proceeds were hidden.
1147
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,720
Who better to impersonate H
than H himself?
1148
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,760
That is not what was happening.
1149
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,880
Like I told you, time was
running out. I was desperate.
1150
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,400
Well, it'’s convenient to
rationalise all this
1151
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,280
as the desperation
of a failing SIO.
1152
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,320
But before we do,
1153
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,600
let'’s consider
the communications made
1154
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,880
between Corbett and you
via a computer link. Tina.
1155
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,400
Document 105 in your folders
and on screen.
1156
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,240
Document 105 is a transcript
of a written message
1157
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,720
composed by you and transmitted
1158
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,960
on the evening
of the 12th of March.
1159
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,000
Please look at line three,
which reads:
1160
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,320
"I can definitely pull
the right strings."
1161
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,800
CARMICHAEL: Note the misspelling
of "definitely".
1162
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,600
Going back to earlier messages
1163
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,400
believed to have been
written by H.
1164
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,840
Please look at the message
transmitted on the 3rd of March.
1165
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,400
"Eastfield Depot
is definitely high risk."
1166
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,080
Again, note the misspelling.
1167
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,720
How closely had you studied
the messages by H?
1168
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,760
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, quite closely.
1169
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,080
Closely enough to duplicate
the misspelling of this word?
1170
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,360
Yes.
1171
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,880
You'’re the SIO
on one of the biggest
1172
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,720
Anti-Corruption operations
this force has ever seen
1173
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,320
and you have the headspace
to learn to spell like H?
1174
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,480
Yes.
1175
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,960
Isn'’t it more likely that you
inadvertently misspelled it?
1176
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,760
- No.
- Isn'’t it more likely
1177
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,160
you made the same mistake as H
because you are H?
1178
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,120
I am not H.
1179
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,280
Looking at another part of
the impersonator message.
1180
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,480
Line four: "I need you to bring
all this to a close."
1181
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,200
What did you mean by that?
1182
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:47,440
What H meant was that the
Eastfield goods were a liability
1183
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,800
and needed to be taken
out of the country quickly.
1184
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,800
It could imply another meaning -
the order to execute Corbett.
1185
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,760
No, absolutely not!
1186
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,520
What private material
was stored on the hard drive
1187
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,760
of the laptop computer that
you erased on the 5th of March?
1188
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,520
It'’s not relevant
to this inquiry.
1189
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,160
If we'’d been able to find H's
computer, we'’d have proof.
1190
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,320
You disposed of your computer
because you knew
1191
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,360
it would prove beyond all
reasonable doubt you are H.
1192
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:11,600
No.
1193
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,560
Then why did you dispose
of the computer?
1194
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,240
I was looking at pornography.
1195
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,880
Nothing illegal,
nothing extreme.
1196
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,840
I just did not want it to be
found, that'’s all.
1197
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,640
Nothing illegal or extreme,
1198
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,600
but you disposed
of the computer?
1199
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,640
Look, it was private stuff.
1200
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,960
So, you know,
my wife has left me, and...
1201
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Jesus Christ.
1202
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,320
Look, I really don'’t want
to discuss it.
1203
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,680
And after you entered the
nightclub as part of your erm...
1204
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,480
..unauthorised
undercover operation,
1205
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,240
you were next located where the
Eastfield goods were concealed.
1206
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,160
It was pure chance
a burner phone,
1207
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,120
inadvertently left on by an OCG
member, meant you were found.
1208
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,040
We'’d be forgiven for thinking
you didn'’t want to be found.
1209
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,080
That'’s simply not true!
1210
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,440
The net was closing in, your
identity was being unmasked.
1211
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,880
You'’d reunited with the OCG
in order to share in the profits
1212
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,920
of the Eastfield robbery.
1213
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,920
No, look, look...
1214
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:20,600
I had risked my life and my
career in order to catch them.
1215
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,640
The two most precious things
to me in the whole world,
1216
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,160
I'’d laid them on the line.
1217
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,880
Because I was so determined.
1218
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,480
And I was so desperate
that AC-12 would not fail.
1219
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,160
One thing I keep going back to
is that dying declaration
1220
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:38,800
by DI Cottan - Tina.
1221
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,560
Thank you.
1222
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,080
Cottan, your own officer,
named the top man as H.
1223
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,480
Now, finally, there'’s
overwhelming evidence H is you.
1224
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,360
I'’m not H.
1225
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,960
John Corbett was proving
the trail led to your door.
1226
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,800
- No.
- It'’s why you had him murdered.
1227
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,760
- No.
- You told Arnott to shoot him.
1228
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,160
No.
1229
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,600
When that plan failed, you
visited Lee Banks in prison
1230
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,800
and revealed to him Corbett was
an undercover police officer.
1231
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,200
No, no.
1232
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:04,920
But killing Corbett
wasn'’t enough.
1233
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,040
You needed to know
what he had on you.
1234
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,440
That was the biggest mistake
that you made.
1235
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,800
In the final meeting
with Corbett,
1236
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:13,560
before you slashed his throat
1237
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,520
and dumped him
at the breaker'’s yard,
1238
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,160
one of your hairs
contaminated Corbett'’s body.
1239
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:19,200
No!
1240
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,040
Edward Hastings...H...
1241
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,720
I have been in consultation
with the Senior Prosecutor
1242
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,040
at the Complex Case Unit
and will now go back to her,
1243
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,040
seeking authority to charge you
with the murder of John Corbett,
1244
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,880
conspiracy to commit
armed robbery,
1245
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:36,960
and malfeasance
in a public office.
1246
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,320
I think it might be helpful
if Mr Hastings
1247
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,680
is given some time
with his solicitor.
1248
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,320
Fine by me.
1249
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,040
Thank you, Tina. Well done.
1250
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,200
Ma'’am.
1251
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,080
TRANTER:
Interview terminated at 2146.
1252
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,440
Where'’s the AFOs?
1253
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,360
- Kyle.
- Ma'’am.
1254
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,040
There was meant to be
armed support
1255
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,040
while the Gaffer was
being interviewed.
1256
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,480
Looks like it'’s been
scaled back.
1257
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,920
It'’ll be down to other
operational commitments.
1258
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,760
Always is.
1259
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,200
OK.
1260
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,160
GILL: You'’ve got to hand it
to Carmichael.
1261
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,240
There is...a lot stacking up.
1262
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,120
And that'’s with setting aside
1263
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,120
the bundle of cash
in your hotel room.
1264
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,120
Which I was about to return.
1265
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,200
All of it?
1266
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,280
Moffatt denies any knowledge
of the money,
1267
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,480
so nobody'’s put
the exact sum to him,
1268
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,440
but according to the files,
1269
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,280
the amount required to buy into
the property development
1270
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,400
wasn'’t 50 grand.
1271
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,240
It was 100.
1272
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:59,360
Now, if there is another
50 grand...somewhere...
1273
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,400
eventually someone'’s
gonna find it.
1274
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,040
Now, I'’m on your side, Ted,
1275
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:05,960
but if I was on a jury,
1276
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,800
I'’d say this all looks damning.
1277
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,120
Now, I'’m confident
I can talk the PCC
1278
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:12,880
into applying political pressure
1279
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,280
to suppress
Carmichael'’s investigation.
1280
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:16,800
Much better to blow our trumpets
1281
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,480
about recovering
the stolen goods
1282
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,920
and neutralising the OCG.
1283
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,600
You'’ll have to accept
a misconduct charge
1284
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,280
for carrying out
unauthorised operations...
1285
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,520
and resign from the Force.
1286
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,680
No doubt,
AC-12 will be disbanded.
1287
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:36,880
CARMICHAEL: Thank you. Yes.
1288
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,640
The threshold tests
have been met.
1289
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,280
- [Beep]
- What'’s going on?
1290
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,160
The DCS is onto
the Crown Prosecutor.
1291
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,080
Mm-hm.
1292
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,120
- Ma'’am.
- Ma'’am.
1293
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,920
- DS Arnott.
- DI Fleming.
1294
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,200
The last thing I need right now
is another knife in my back.
1295
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,280
That was never our intention,
sir.
1296
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,720
Yeah? Funny way of showing it.
1297
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,640
We'’ve been making inquiries
into some of the gaps
1298
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,320
in our understanding
of Corbett'’s involvement
1299
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,080
- in Operation Pear Tree.
- Yeah?
1300
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:13,800
Under whose orders? Hers?
1301
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,920
No, sir. On our own.
1302
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,960
We'’re just trying
to find the truth.
1303
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,120
- What'’s going on?
- We'’ve gathered
1304
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,680
further information that may be
relevant to your inquiry.
1305
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,280
- You can brief me in private.
- If it'’s OK, ma'am,
1306
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,440
we intend to share our findings
with Superintendent Hastings
1307
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:30,960
and his solicitor.
1308
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,720
His solicitor is making calls.
1309
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,840
Well, they'’ve come to talk to me
1310
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,520
and I'’d like to hear
what they say.
1311
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,960
Quite right. It'’s up to you if
you want to be in on it, or not.
1312
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,320
KATE: Operation Pear Tree
was originally authorised
1313
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,560
following an instruction
from Rohan Sindwhani,
1314
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,280
the Police and Crime
Commissioner.
1315
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,000
Sindwhani had made
an election promise
1316
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,280
to tackle police corruption.
1317
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,360
The specific remit of Pear Tree
is to examine whether complicity
1318
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,560
between organised crime
and police officers
1319
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,320
has been institutionalised
in this force.
1320
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,760
Detective Superintendent
Alison Powell,
1321
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,560
having no connection
to Central Police,
1322
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,080
was brought in
to lead Pear Tree.
1323
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,480
Powell identified suitable
undercover officers
1324
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,680
from outside forces
and submitted their CVs
1325
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,880
to Deputy Chief Constable
Andrea Wise.
1326
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,560
Following
a consultation process,
1327
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,640
John Corbett was selected
to be the UCO.
1328
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,960
KATE: Corbett'’s background
was available
1329
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,280
to be examined
as part of the process.
1330
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,280
This was before
his service record
1331
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,160
was erased from the database
1332
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,160
and large portions of the Pear
Tree files were redacted.
1333
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,240
DSU Powell informed us
that PCC Sindwhani
1334
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,040
took no part
in the selection process
1335
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,360
but it was agreed
his Senior Legal Counsel
1336
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,040
would act on his behalf.
1337
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,000
I don'’t need to remind everyone
there'’s been controversy
1338
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,080
surrounding
undercover operations.
1339
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,560
The PCC required assurances
1340
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,000
that Pear Tree
was legally watertight.
1341
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:49,640
According to DSU Powell,
1342
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:53,120
the Senior Legal Counsel
strongly favoured Corbett
1343
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,880
and was instrumental
in selecting him.
1344
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,000
Corbett had
a distinguished record
1345
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,040
handling the perils
of being embedded
1346
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:01,640
inside an organised
crime group.
1347
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,240
He was by far
the best man for the job.
1348
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:09,160
Ms Biggeloe, when did you first
become aware of John Corbett?
1349
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,720
Well, when we looked
at the files
1350
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,760
to, um...select
an undercover officer.
1351
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,160
Gill Biggeloe,
you do not have to say anything
1352
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,640
but it may harm your defence
1353
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:19,960
if you do not mention
when questioned
1354
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,320
something you later
rely on in court.
1355
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,680
Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.
1356
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,120
Mm. OK.
1357
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,240
Well, given that the DIR'’s off,
1358
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:38,840
I'’d like to make my own personal
recording. Any objections?
1359
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,560
CARMICHAEL: I think we need
to take a step back, actually.
1360
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,000
Recording on.
1361
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,560
KATE: If you could kindly
bear with us, ma'’am.
1362
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,160
Ms Biggeloe,
did you ever meet John Corbett?
1363
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,560
I refer you to
my previous response.
1364
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,000
- DS Arnott.
- As part of our inquiry,
1365
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,160
we interviewed Corbett'’s widow,
Stephanie.
1366
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:58,680
On the first occasion,
1367
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,160
she confirmed Corbett'’s
upbringing in Northern Ireland.
1368
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:02,840
Following our interview
with DSU Powell,
1369
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,120
we went back to Mrs Corbett
with specific questions
1370
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,800
regarding Corbett'’s recruitment
to Operation Pear Tree.
1371
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,480
We managed to convince her
to cooperate with our inquiry
1372
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,960
and reveal
hitherto undisclosed evidence.
1373
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,160
Following a lawful search
of the family home,
1374
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:17,920
under Mrs Corbett'’s guidance,
1375
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,560
we recovered items concealed
by her husband.
1376
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,240
Among the items
was an audio recording
1377
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,760
of a meeting between
John Corbett and Gill Biggeloe
1378
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,120
which took place
in January 2018,
1379
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:31,000
a month before the inception
of Operation Pear Tree.
1380
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,280
Well, if such a recording
exists, it'’s inadmissible.
1381
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,080
It'’s correct that if acting
on official police business,
1382
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,480
Corbett would'’ve required
authorisation from RIPA.
1383
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,240
Yeah, well, he wasn'’t acting
on official police business
1384
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,720
and I can assure you
that my legal team and I
1385
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,320
will move heaven and earth
1386
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,280
so this particular recording
will be heard in court.
1387
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,960
Playing recording.
1388
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,000
GILL: The RUC officer
who betrayed your mother,
1389
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,440
his name'’s Hastings.
1390
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:03,320
Superintendent Ted Hastings.
1391
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,320
CORBETT: What,
he'’s a super now?
1392
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,960
That'’s taking the piss.
How do you know all this?
1393
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,920
GILL:
From a private investigator
1394
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,200
who'’s been looking into
Hastings'’ past.
1395
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,160
It'’s all in the file,
chapter and verse.
1396
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:20,200
You read it and then tell me how you feel about my proposal.
1397
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,040
CORBETT: I'’m in. Tell me now.
1398
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,240
GILL: We'’re setting up
an undercover operation
1399
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,600
to prove he'’s bent.
1400
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:30,560
To finally bring down the man
who had your mother killed.
1401
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,320
CORBETT: It'’s definitely him?
1402
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:33,960
- Hastings?
- Yeah.
1403
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,600
KATE: Gill Biggeloe sought
incriminating material
1404
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:41,360
on Superintendent Hastings
1405
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,680
and then used it
to manipulate John Corbett
1406
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,600
into believing
Superintendent Hastings is "H".
1407
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:50,920
Why, Gill?
1408
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,760
It'’s complicated.
1409
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,960
We'’ve got time.
1410
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,240
Actually, you don'’t.
1411
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,280
Armed TFC, guns down! Stand by!
1412
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:14,680
We need to shut
this building down!
1413
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,120
- Guns down now!
- Do as he says!
1414
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,400
- TFC, now.
- Received. Moving in.
1415
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,840
- Guns down!
- Hands where we can see '’em!
1416
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,920
- Hands above your head!
- Who authorised this?
1417
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,240
We detected apparent security
lapses on entering the building.
1418
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,760
The SFC authorised us
to deploy firearms.
1419
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:37,080
All your AFOs are being
disarmed as a precaution.
1420
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:44,760
This burner phone...
1421
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,920
It isn'’t the same burner phone
I'’ve been accused of owning,
1422
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,520
by any chance, Tina, is it?
1423
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,800
[Sighs] Tina, number.
1424
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,320
077...00...
1425
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,400
900856.
1426
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,040
[Phone buzzes]
1427
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,920
HASTINGS: Oh, yeah. There it is.
1428
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,400
You see, Gill only ever visited
me when she came to AC-12.
1429
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,440
That'’s how we mistook this phone
for mine.
1430
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,680
TFC, 6-4.
1431
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,320
Any obs on OCG?
1432
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:19,640
6-4. No contacts yet. Stand by.
1433
01:08:21,480 --> 01:08:23,400
Looks like the cavalry'’s
not coming.
1434
01:08:23,440 --> 01:08:24,640
HASTINGS: Yeah.
1435
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,600
The last time Dot Cottan
sent that message out,
1436
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,960
he was busted out
in a couple of seconds.
1437
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,800
Looks like you'’re not
as valuable as him -
1438
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,960
or as valuable
as you thought you were.
1439
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,560
"As valuable" to who exactly?
1440
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,360
Well, Gill told me that she was
a defence solicitor.
1441
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,440
You meet a lot of
shady types doing that.
1442
01:08:42,480 --> 01:08:45,200
So you get some
major piece of work...
1443
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,840
off a serious criminal charge,
1444
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,160
they put you on a retainer.
1445
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,680
But these retainers come with
strings attached, don'’t they?
1446
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,560
But I suspect that she was
enticed by the glamour.
1447
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,120
Why frame the Gaffer?
1448
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,800
It'’s always more palatable
to offer up a rotten apple
1449
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,920
than to uncover
institutionalised corruption.
1450
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:08,960
And as AC-12 have been
a constant thorn
1451
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,600
in the side of the OCG,
1452
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,680
what better rotten apple
than their commanding officer?
1453
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:15,440
Right, Gill?
1454
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:21,560
The money in the hotel room.
Where did that come from?
1455
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,200
I bet you asked some of
your little criminal mates to...
1456
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,800
slip that through to Moffatt,
am I right?
1457
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,920
There'’s damning DNA evidence
against Superintendent Hastings.
1458
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,760
It'’s hardly damning. A couple of
hair follicles. Come on.
1459
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:42,400
Hang on.
1460
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,040
Don'’t tell me.
Was that your doing, Gill?
1461
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,080
Don'’t worry, Ted.
1462
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,800
I'’ll spare your blushes
in front of everyone.
1463
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,200
Gill used the bathroom
of my hotel room.
1464
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,480
She must have taken
some hairs out of the comb...
1465
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,400
passed them on to the OCG
and they planted them on...
1466
01:10:03,440 --> 01:10:04,640
Corbett'’s body.
1467
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,280
Who killed Corbett?
1468
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:10,800
Did you give the order?
1469
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,800
We all know confessing
to Conspiracy to Murder
1470
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,920
will make me ineligible
for immunity from prosecution.
1471
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,720
And the institutionalised
complicity
1472
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,480
between organised crime
and corrupt police officers?
1473
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,760
Have you not been listening,
love?
1474
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,400
There'’s no such thing.
1475
01:10:32,440 --> 01:10:35,600
I'’m just one rotten apple.
1476
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,920
HASTINGS: Well, never mind
betraying me, Gill.
1477
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,680
Never mind framing me.
What about John Corbett?
1478
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:45,200
I mean, you let him believe
that he was chasing the truth.
1479
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:49,880
Justice for his mother.
For Christ sake, for Anne-Marie.
1480
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,560
But instead
he was chasing a lie.
1481
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,040
You set a hare running
and you sat around
1482
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,880
as you watched the dogs
rip it apart.
1483
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,080
A tragic, senseless death.
1484
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,400
3-7. 6-4, sit-rep?
1485
01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:11,600
6-4. Still no obs.
1486
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:13,880
KATE: Received.
1487
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,880
Ma'’am, it appears
we no longer need
1488
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,320
to defend ourselves against
a threat in this building.
1489
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:19,840
I suggest we make arrangements
1490
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,560
to transport Miss Biggeloe
to custody asap.
1491
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,280
- Agreed.
- I'’ll take care of that, ma'am.
1492
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:26,520
Thank you, Tina.
1493
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,240
Gill Biggeloe,
you are under arrest
1494
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:29,880
for Perverting
the Course of Justice
1495
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,720
and Misconduct
in a Public Office.
1496
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,280
Sir, I'’d advise you get out
of the building, too.
1497
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,400
Yeah. Thank you, Kate.
1498
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,880
I'’m afraid I'm gonna
have to cuff you.
1499
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,600
Could be a trek to custody.
You might want a loo break now.
1500
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,320
Thank you.
1501
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,800
Gonna have to come with you.
I'’m sorry.
1502
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,680
KATE: 3-7, 6-4.
1503
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,760
6-4. Receiving.
1504
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,400
We'’re sending down DCS
Carmichael and the Gaffer.
1505
01:12:02,440 --> 01:12:05,520
We'’ll keep Gill Biggeloe up here
until we can provide escort.
1506
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:07,960
- 6-4. Received.
- Thanks, you two.
1507
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,880
I don'’t know what to say.
1508
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,440
You'’re welcome, sir.
1509
01:12:11,480 --> 01:12:14,000
Just doing our job.
1510
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:16,480
It'’s a damn sight
more than that.

1525
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,040
- Gill, are you all right?
- Yeah.
1526
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,000
- Received, 3-7.
- Steve?
1527
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,040
Steve, are you all right?
1528
01:13:40,440 --> 01:13:42,200
I never shot anybody.

has been made safe,

to make a deal.

Too fond of the finer things
to do a prison stretch.
1538
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:26,200
The OCG didn'’t think Gill
was worth saving.
1539
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,000
But someone gave the order
to stop her talking.
1540
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:31,880
Who?
1541
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,040
What is it?
1542
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:07,640
MEDIC: That'’s it.
Out of the way.
1543
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,360
I'’ll start bagging.
Respiratory arrest.
1544
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:15,920
[Muffled speech from interview]
1545
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:30,440
McQUEEN:
Maybe I can stop others
1546
01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:32,320
from making the same mistakes.
1547
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,200
Immunity from prosecution
1548
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,680
and Witness Protection
has been agreed.
1549
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,320
There is one final gap
we need to fill in.
1550
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,320
How did you know John Clayton
was an undercover officer,
1551
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:44,720
DS John Corbett?
1552
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,120
Didn'’t.
1553
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:49,720
Just thought he was a rat.
1554
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:51,320
How?
1555
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,920
That leak about the meeting
at the Palisades.
1556
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,280
It could have only
come from him.
1557
01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:59,160
How did that work?
1558
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:00,920
John was told the top man
wanted a meet
1559
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,840
at the shopping centre.
1560
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,520
We had a meeting point
in one of the walkways.
1561
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,480
It was nice and public,
so if anyone spotted us,
1562
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:10,680
they'’d think twice
about trying to take us out.
1563
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,280
No one else in the unit
knew about the meet
1564
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,120
except for me and John.
1565
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,200
One of our blokes worked the
shopping centre, in security.
1566
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,440
He'’d seen the coppers
waiting to ambush us.
1567
01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:26,200
So, we knew for certain
the leak had to come from John.
1568
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:30,200
What did Lee Banks reveal to you
about John Corbett?
1569
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,920
Only that there was a rat
in the unit.
1570
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,840
Hastings told Lee Banks
about Corbett, I'’m sure of it.
1571
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,640
She'’s lying to cover herself.
1572
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:41,800
She knows if she admits
to killing Corbett,
1573
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:46,200
she forfeits immunity
from prosecution.
1574
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,000
- What does Banks say?
- He'’s still not talking.
1575
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:52,800
Then, without his testimony,
1576
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,280
you can'’t prove Hastings
blew Corbett'’s cover.
1577
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,280
It'’s a dead end, Patricia.
Close the case.
1578
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,240
- Ma'’am, I think if I...
- You had a bent officer
1579
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,560
on your team.
1580
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:04,880
Glass houses?
1581
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,720
KATE: Which OCG members
were involved
1582
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:15,960
in the murder of John Corbett?
1583
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,480
McQUEEN:
A few of them. Not me.
1584
01:17:20,440 --> 01:17:22,080
They'’re all dead now.
1585
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:23,920
Who inflicted
the fatal knife wound
1586
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,000
that caused John Corbett
to bleed to death?
1587
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,200
He'’s dead now, too.
1588
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,360
Miroslav Minkowicz.
1589
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,720
Are there any members of the OCG
still at large?
1590
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,120
Not that I know of.
1591
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,360
Where I grew up, it was easy to fall in with the wrong crowd.
1592
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:56,760
My mum was off her face on drink
and drugs a lot of the time.
1593
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,200
The person who made me see
that there was another way,
1594
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,280
to be a useful member of
society, was a police officer.
1595
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,600
PC Simon Bannerjee.
1596
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:08,000
He'’s the reason why I wanted
to become a police officer too.
1597
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:10,600
To help people.
1598
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:22,920
- Sir.
- Sir.
1599
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,520
We'’ve been re-examining
Dot'’s dying declaration.
1600
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:29,920
The frame it was frozen on
during your interview
1601
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,880
made me spot something
we'’ve all missed.
1602
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:33,640
Look at Dot'’s left hand.
1603
01:18:40,480 --> 01:18:42,000
Watch again.
1604
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,760
HASTINGS:
So, his fingers are tapping? So?
1605
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,280
Dot tried to tell us something
before he lost consciousness.
1606
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,040
He couldn'’t speak due to
the gunshot wound to his chest.
1607
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,040
But he could move his hand.
1608
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,320
KATE: Tap, tap, tap-tap.
1609
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,720
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
1610
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,360
Morse Code.
1611
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:14,640
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
1612
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:18,000
The letter "H" in Morse Code
is four dots.
1613
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,040
"H" is not an initial.
It'’s a clue.
1614
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,760
Four dots. Four caddies.
1615
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,400
Four police staff in league
with organised crime.
1616
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,640
Dot...Hilton...
1617
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,920
..Gill...
1618
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,160
plus one more.
1619
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,640
And they'’re still out there.
1620
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,920
The Deputy Chief Constable and I
are pleased to report
1621
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,960
Operation Pear Tree
has completed
1622
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,680
a thorough investigation into
institutionalised complicity
1623
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,560
between organised criminals
and corrupt police officers.
1624
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,480
Its robust findings
couldn'’t be clearer.
1625
01:19:55,520 --> 01:20:00,040
There is no institutionalised
corruption in this police force.
1626
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,400
This constabulary
will work tirelessly
1627
01:20:02,440 --> 01:20:04,120
to root out rotten apples
in its ranks.
1628
