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

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

What was Danny onto
that meant you had to kill him?!

BINDRA:
The final report states

that these findings
are consistent

with a bloodstained note.

And this is just between us
for now?

I'm innocent.

The question is, are you?

You lied in court,

you lied to your partner,
and you lied to me!

I did not plant evidence!

We gather the evidence,
and the people decide.

And they've decided
that she didn't do it

because you couldn't keep it
in your pants.

That's not what happened.

There's seconds here
if you fancy.

Any more, and I won't get off
this sofa.

I had intended that meeting
in a more social setting

would make this
less confrontational between us.

[ Glasses clink ]

I'm a married man.

Separated.

I'm sorry, Gill.

FLEMING:
Oliver Stephens-Lloyd,

a registered social worker with
responsibility at Sands View.

Chief Superintendent Fairbank

had nothing to do
with this case.

He ran vice.

ARNOTT: Stephens-Lloyd claimed
he compiled a list

of authority figures
who conducted systematic abuse

of boys resident at Sands View.

See, I've never even heard of
this Stands Views place.

HASTINGS:
Hope I'm not too late.

ARNOTT:
I saw the handshake at the door.

It was Masonic.

[ Sirens wailing ]

I'm putting you in
for a commendation.

ARNOTT: Ronan Murphy was
interviewed about the conspiracy

Lindsay Denton
was convicted of?

None of this was in the file.

And who gave us that file?

Hastings.

COTTAN: The Caddy is male,
under 35.

A detective.
A London or South East accent.

I'm sorry, gaffer,

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

Detective Inspector
Matthew Cottan

has distinguished
not only himself

but the entire
anti-corruption division.

Detective Inspector
Matthew Cottan.

It is an honor
to present D.I. Cottan

with this award
for outstanding bravery.

The commendation reads,

"In recognition
of courageous conduct

in apprehending
a dangerous suspect

with commendable disregard
for your own personal safety."

-Well done, Cottan.
-Thank you, sir.

[ Cheering ]

[ Indistinct talking ]

-Congratulations, Matthew.
-Ah, thanks, Gill.

You need a drink.

Here you go.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Have you thought about

going in front of
the DCI promotion board?

[ Switch clicks ]

-Right. Coffee?
-Yeah, lovely.

Don't be going to any trouble
on my account.

You know, I'll have instant.

Special occasion, though.

Actually, it's good to be able
to talk outside the office.

Is everything okay?

No.
Not really.

Steve's been ordering
more forensics

on evidence seized
from Danny Waldron's flat.

Why?

He'll be making out
I missed a lead.

But I know what he's up to.
It's classic classroom tactics.

If you've farted, you hold your
nose, you point at someone else.

What do you mean?

He's hiding summat.

What?

I-I shouldn't say
until there's evidence.

And I hope I'm wrong.
I really do.

But if I'm not,

I need to know
you've got my back.

Oh, God, yeah.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't really
have said anything.

-I know you two go back a ways.
-No, you had to.

MAN: Glock 17.

PRIEST:
Though I walk

through the valley
of the shadow of death...

...I will fear no evil.

For you are with me -- your rod
and staff, they comfort me.

We now commit
Daniel's body to the ground,

earth to earth, ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,

in the sure and certain hope

of the resurrection
to eternal life.

-There a problem, sir?
-Why do you ask?

I know there was a briefing,
inspectors and above,

and no one's letting me in
on it.

Hence "inspectors and above."

So, what's that about, then?

I went
to Danny Waldron's funeral.

There's still a perceived threat
to anyone associated with Danny.

And was anyone there?

-No.
-No.

That's good to know, eh?

And you shouldn't be
bringing that 'round here.

This isn't the Bronx.

[ Spoon clatters in sink ]

ARNOTT: Feeling better?

Uh, yeah, thanks.
Just a stomach bug.

Yes, well, now you're back,
I was hoping to get

those additional forensics
I requested.

What's the holdup?

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

What do you mean?

He knew forensics hadn't
bothered testing the envelope.

I'll be right back.

MAN: Glock 17.

Confirm serial number
and number and type of rounds.

Cheers.

G36 carbine plus rounds.

You wanted me
to see something?

Yeah.

I've been reviewing CCTV
of Danny Waldron

from the murder time line
of Linus Murphy.

Here's Danny arriving.
Note the direction of travel.

It matches the route
from Linus Murphy's residence,

so we have to assume

Danny's come directly
from killing Linus.

Formal I.D.
It's Danny Waldron.

And these images tally
with the paperwork we got

from the storage facility.

And our assumption is
that the rucksack

contains Linus Murphy's head

wrapped in
a watertight bin liner.

In the carrier bag must be
a cold-storage container

he bought en route.

Now the rucksack's empty,

presumably after
Danny's stored Linus' head.

He leaves,

and we pick him up
on an exterior camera again.

Danny jogging away.

Note the different direction
of travel from his arrival.

I just want to
get the job done, Kate.

And we've always
done a good one together.

The job.
That I can do.

Where do you think he's going?

Unfortunately there's no other
CCTV of Danny.

But...

Here's the storage facility.

Here's the direction
we see him leaving.

Danny's flat is located here.

It appears he came directly
from Linus Murphy's place.

So his only opportunity

to conceal any information
he obtained from Linus

was when he was in his flat.

What information?

ARNOTT:
Ink and blood was detected

on the inside of an envelope
found at Danny Waldron's flat.

Now, the blood matches
to Linus Murphy.

To me, that means he must have
written a message

and put it in the envelope
straight from killing Murphy,

even before
he washed the blood off.

It was definitely there
in that envelope.

For a time, at least.

Why are we only getting
this information now?

Admin cock-up.

Forensics' fault.

Okay.

All right?
Where you off to?

Morrison's over the road,
but don't tell no one.

I'll keep quiet for a KitKat.

BIGGELOE:
...has to be authorized

by superintendent rank or above
and meet the RIPA criteria.

It's not rocket science.

Matthew.

Anyway, get back to me
if there's a problem.

WOMAN: Will do.

Hope you're not still hungover

from all that
taxpayer champagne.

Have you got a minute?

Yeah.

Look, I am the last person
to go behind anyone's back,

but I've raised concerns
about a colleague

with my commanding officer.

Well, if Ted's dealing with it,
I shouldn't really get involved.

Yeah, well, that's the problem.
He's not.

Ah.

I can guess who the colleague
might be.

What worries me

is he's wandering around
this place with a firearm.

Oh, my God.

Sorry.

Look, maybe I shouldn't have...

No.
Leave it with me.

Thanks, Gill.

Got a lead on Fairbank.

Digging into
his personnel records,

there was a complaint made
by someone called Wendy Rider.

The complaint wasn't pursued
because Fairbank retired.

What was the complaint?

As usual where

Chief Superintendent Fairbank's
concerned,

the records are sketchy,
to say the least.

But it was about her son.

He was a resident
at Sands View Boys' Home.

He's overseas with the army now,
but she still lives in the area.

Nice work.

Just doing my job, mate.

Do you remember
when he went to Sands View

and how long he was there?

He was 13.

It was nearly a year
till he come out.

ARNOTT: It'd help our inquiry
if you could tell us why

you made a complaint
about a chief superintendent

named Patrick Fairbank.

Well, Greg would never
talk about what had happened.

We never talked much anyway
after he got took away from me.

He blamed me
for what had happened.

What had happened?

He said he'd been
interfered with.

Big, fat bloke, he said.

So I went to the police.

Huh, they didn't want to know.

They said Greg
wasn't a reliable witness.

So I told them
if they didn't do nothing

I was gonna write to the papers
and me M.P. and that.

They just laughed in me face.

And that was that?

No.

A week after, one of them
come 'round and said

this chief superintendent
had sorted it.

Who came 'round?
A uniformed officer?

Yeah.

He said
the chief superintendent

had got the bloke to confess
and that it was all all right

so that Greg wouldn't have to
go through a trial and that.

To be clear, Mrs. Rider --

You were advised that the
offender was going to prison?

Yeah.

Yeah, but then there was
this picture in the paper,

and Greg said
it was the same bloke.

Mrs. Rider, is this the man
you saw in the paper?

Yeah.

FLEMING: And is that when you
realized he hadn't been charged?

Huh.

Well, I'd written down the name
of this chief superintendent

who had supposed to have
taken care of it all.

-[ Knock on door ]
-Yeah?

Sir, we've got a witness
claiming Fairbank

suppressed a child-rape
allegation against Dale Roach.

Ideally, sir, we put these
allegations to Fairbank

in the presence of a solicitor.

Yeah, well,
I'll have to think about that.

-But, sir...
-Steve.

-Sir.
-Kate.

Sir, with respect,
there's no operational reason

to drag our feet over Fairbank.

I know how to conduct
an anti-corruption case, Steve.

With respect again, sir,

I'm becoming concerned this
inquiry's dragging its feet.

-I'm not the issue here, son.
-Sir?

I can't have you
interviewing Fairbank

because of the suspicions
hanging over your head.

That's why we're
dragging our feet here,

against my better judgment.

Still this crap
about me planting evidence

against Lindsay Denton?

Listen,
we'll bring Fairbank in,

but I can't have you
in the room.

I will not risk jeopardizing
future prosecutions.

What, you're taking me
off the case?

Don't make this harder
than it is, son.

Harder than protecting
a former chief super

who just happens to be a Mason?

You are way out of line.

I saw your handshake.

You do not know
the first thing.

I know you're trying to
take me off a case

that involves senior officers
covering up child abuse!

Suspicions against you

are more than just
planting evidence, Steve.

As you were.

Superintendent Hastings and I
have had a short discussion,

and in the circumstances we
agree the best course of action,

to protect all parties and to
abide by disciplinary procedure,

is for you to be served
with a Regulation 15 notice

and to be suspended from duty

until these matters
can be addressed

at a formal
disciplinary hearing.

A Reg 15?

For what?

Certain allegations
have been made against you.

By who?

BIGGELOE: It wouldn't be
appropriate to discuss these

outside a recognized
disciplinary framework.

But before you go, may I ask
if you're bearing a firearm?

This come from Dot?

I want him in here.

I don't think
that's a good idea.

Fine.

BIGGELOE: I really don't think
that's a good idea.

My officer
has asked for this,

so I'm gonna give him this.

[ Door opens ]

D.I. Cottan.

COTTAN:
Sir. Gill.

The floor is yours.

What's this all about?

D.I. Cottan.

I have a number of concerns

regarding D.S. Arnott's
professional conduct.

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

In contravention of Section 7
of the 1968 Firearms Act.

I've signed the firearm
back in.

He's been accused of having

an improper relationship
with a suspect,

of planting evidence
against said suspect.

I did not plant evidence!

He also fits the profile
of a suspect we're seeking

in a separate
anti-corruption inquiry.

What?
This is insane!

What anti-corruption inquiry?

I really don't think
any more should be

said about this matter
while it's being investigated.

Look, for Christ sake,
I'm not the problem here!

What exactly are you saying?

Sir, I've got serious concerns
about D.I. Cottan's performance

of his duties
under police conduct regs.

And that's why
he's having a go at me.

Sir, this is
completely out of order.

During a search
of Danny Waldron's flat,

he failed in his duty to order
the necessary forensics.

He then induced a junior rank
to hide this from me

so I wouldn't find out
he'd missed a crucial lead.

Listen, If there's any issues
to be addressed

by a performance review
or otherwise,

then trust me,
they certainly will be.

However, said issues
are separate and distinct

from the ones before us now,
D.S. Arnott.

Look. Please.

I know
I've pissed you all off.

And I am sorry about the
undercover on Lindsay Denton.

But I am the only one that's
trying to solve this case.

COTTAN:
Oh, well, there you have it.

Only Steve can solve the cases.
All hail Steve.

I definitely think we should
stop this conversation now.

-Thank you, D.I. Cottan.
-Sir.

[ Door opens ]

BIGGELOE: Thanks for keeping
your cool in there, Matthew.

It can't have been easy.

[ Door closes ]

D.S. Arnott,
regarding the Reg 15 notice.

You will return here
for a formal interview

at a time specified by us.

But until then, you will be
suspended from duty.

I'm sorry, son.
I'm sorry.

I know he's got his reasons.

But you, sir?

You never answered my point

about you and Fairbank
both being in the Masons.

Come on, Steve, you're not
doing yourself any favors here.

It's one thing denying
allegations against you,

but it's another thing
slinging mud at your superiors.

That's a completely different
kettle of fish, fella.

What can I say?

You've let me down.
You've let yourself down.

Yeah.

Well, you're the one
that fed us all

a doctored file
on Ronan Murphy.

What?

Ronan Murphy being
a known criminal associate

of Tommy Hunter.

Not in the file.

Ronan Murphy being investigated
as the prime suspect

in Hunter's murder.

Not in the file.

Ronan Murphy and Tommy Hunter

both being involved
in child sexual exploitation.

Not in the file!

And you say I'm the one
that's letting you down.

Sir.

[ Door opens ]

You okay?

Yeah. I'm not gonna
jump to conclusions.

Let's see what comes out of
his disciplinary hearing.

Look, just between us,

I've got a lead on him planting
that money at Lindsay's.

I just wanted to let you know so
it didn't come as a big shock.

I know this is
gonna be difficult.

We've got to keep an eye
on his every move.

Sorry.

All right?

Thought these
might cheer you up.

Come in.

They're really sweet,
but you didn't need to.

No, you're all right.

Kate.

Look, I'd be gutted if this
Steve stuff came between us.

This feels like a bit
of a second chance for me,

and I really don't want to
mess it up.

-Oh. Okay.
-No...

Just let's take it slow.
You know?

Yeah.
Yeah, of course.

With the regs and that.

Sure.

But thanks for these.
They're lovely.

I'm glad you like them.

-Well, I best be off.
-All right.

-Night.
-Night.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

SUMMERS:
How can I help you?

Ma'am,
I'm requesting authorization

on an undercover operation.

That's Ted Hastings' call,
not mine.

Well, actually, ma'am, it'd be
against a fellow AC-12 officer.

Ah.

In this situation,
guidelines are

that I should approach

an independent
anti-corruption commander

in confidence
for said authorization.

Why me?

I'd rather not say, ma'am.

AC-9's nearer.

Like I say,
I'd rather not say, ma'am.

Because I'm a woman.
I can't be a Mason.

You kept me waiting.

I know.

I've been watching
for an hour.

If you'll hang on for that long,
then you must be desperate.

It's funny 'cause the last time
we met, I was the desperate one,

and you held all the cards.

Yeah, well, you don't hold them
all of a sudden.

Don't I?
You know what, Steve?

I'd deduced
that you are so desperate,

that you need help
from some sad cow with no life.

[ Chuckles ]

Silly me.

Wait.

There's something I never said,
and I want to say it now.

I'm sorry.

I did take advantage of you.

You were grieving,
you were alone,

and gaining your trust --
albeit to solve a crime --

was callous and insensitive.

I'm sorry for what I did.

And you might not believe me,
but that night...

...that's what made me
hold back.

Don't flatter yourself,
Steve.

I might have been
a complete emotional wreck,

but I didn't want you.

We were just two lonely people
having a fumble.

It might have sounded
convincing on tape,

but it was empty
and it was pathetic.

Back to planting of evidence.

The accusation's
been around so long

that people
are starting to think

they don't have to prove it.

Instead it's down to me
to disprove it.

You know the truth.

You know I didn't do it.

Listen to me --

I've just spent a year
and a half of my life in prison.

I've lost everything.

My home.

My job.

My whole future.

Maybe now you've got a taste
of what it's like

to know that you're innocent

and yet still
have your whole life destroyed.

I'll help you
find the real criminals, Steve.

But I will never, ever
spend one more day in prison.

So let me be clear --

That money was put in my house
to frame me.

I am innocent.

I am the victim in all of this.

-You're unbelievable.
-No.

No, I want justice.

And I don't care
how unjustly I get it.

So why don't you just tell me

everything you know about
the case that you're working on

and how it connects to mine.

You must be joking.

Right now, Steve, I'm the only
person that can help you.

[ Footsteps ]

BIGGELOE: Hi, Ted.

What's with
all the cloak-and-dagger?

I wanted to ask you,
off the record,

if I can count on your
full support in investigating

former Chief Superintendent
Patrick Fairbank?

In respect of?

In respect of
not adequately investigating

complaints of
child sexual exploitation.

Absolutely.
Absolutely.

Thanks.

Ted, doesn't it make
much more sense

to hand over your files
to the various authorities

carrying out official inquiries
into historic sex abuse?

You can do it through me
if you like.

Yeah, that would be great.
Thank you, Gill, yeah.

-Thanks.
-Thanks, Ted.

We got seats
at the Pavilion End,

right behind the bowler's arm.

And I'm thinking, you know,
we're set for the day here.

And then what happened?
Heavens opened.

Ted!

I'm sure there's no need
for all this,

over a little misunderstanding.

We can thrash this out
between the pair of us.

I think it's best that
we continue as planned, really,

just to make sure that
everything's aboveboard

in the end.

I'm in your hands.

Tea? Coffee?

FAIRBANK: Very nice.
Coffee, thanks.

HASTINGS: Great.

You are
being interviewed today

in respect of suspicion
of misconduct in public office.

You don't have to say anything,

however, it may
harm your defense

if you fail to mention
something under questioning

that you later go on
to rely on in court.

And of course anything you
do say may be used in evidence.

-Been there, done that.
-Thank you.

Document 2 in your folders.

Document 2 is a photocopy
of a missing persons report

relating to
Oliver Stephens-Lloyd.

You were shown this photocopy
in your interview on July 7th.

It's from near on 20 years ago.

You don't recall the report?

-I don't recall the report.
-No.

If you could go
to the end of the report,

you were shown
that a number of individuals

had been copied in by the
senior investigating officer.

Have to put me glasses on.

Right.

You were shown on July 7th

that according
to the distribution list,

you were sent a copy
of this report in November '98.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Seems I was sent one.

God knows whether I got it
or read it.

During this time, November '98,
what was your position?

-I ran vice.
-Yeah.

And why was the head of vice

being copied into a report
on a missing social worker?

I have absolutely no idea.

It sounds like an admin error
to me.

An administrative error?

Well, I'm surmising.
I have no idea. Sorry.

FLEMING:
Document 3 in your folders.

Document 3 is a photocopy
of a report

dated 21st November '98

on death by suicide
of Oliver Stephens-Lloyd.

Stephens-Lloyd claimed
to have furnished you

with a list of names of abusers
at Sands View.

Shortly afterwards, he was
dismissed from his position,

and three months later
he was found dead.

Don't know anything about this,

and I don't know anything
about this poor fella.

Yeah, well, the murder squad
have reopened the inquiry

into the death
of Oliver Stephens-Lloyd.

Right.

Well, now, Ted, this is, uh,
getting serious.

HASTINGS: Yeah, but this is
also an opportunity

for you to clarify
a number of issues

that are causing us
some vexation.

Well, you know
I want to help.

HASTINGS: We're very grateful.
D.C. Fleming.

FLEMING: Document 5 is a recent
postmortem examination

from the
Home Office pathologist.

It's likely
that Stephens-Lloyd

was struck over the head
with a blunt instrument

and then thrown into the river
to drown.

So, not suicide.

Murder.

Well, I can see
why you're troubled, Ted,

but my department

had no involvement
in that investigation.

Well, we interviewed
the officers

who carried out
this investigation.

FLEMING: We have a statement
obtained by murder squad

from an officer who was a D.C.
at the time,

stating that the
senior investigating officer,

D.I. Marcus Thurwell,

advised him
the death was suicide

and anything that didn't fit
should be kept to themselves.

Now, why would Thurwell
be so eager

to prove
that it was a suicide?

I haven't the foggiest.

Do you recall the name
Wendy Rider?

Well, I think we all know by now
that I'm hopeless with names.

Wendy Rider lodged a complaint
against you

in respect of her son,
Gregory Rider.

Gregory Rider was a resident
at Sands View Boys' Home

and was allegedly abused
by your best mate, Dale Roach.

Right, Ted, now, this was meant
to be a friendly conversation.

But your D.C.,
whatever her name is,

has just struck a tone
that I don't warm to.

D.C. Fleming.

My apologies
if I've caused offense.

We are most grateful
for your cooperation, sir.

I knew Councilor Roach
from a distance.

A very great distance.

Going back to your interview
with us on July 7th, you stated,

"When these things came up, they
would have been looked into."

Do you stand by that statement?

Well, I must have said it,
if you've written it down.

Can you inform us how you
investigated the allegations

made by Mrs. Rider
against Dale Roach?

It'll be in the files.

We looked.
It's not in the files.

I was chief superintendent,
not the office boy.

If records have gone missing,

that's got nothing to do
with me.

Mrs. Rider says
that she was informed

that you carried out
this interview yourself

and that no charge resulted.

Well, that must be because

the allegations against Dale
proved groundless.

"Dale."

Councilor Roach.

Why did you not keep
any records of this?

Here we go again.

-I was chief superintendent.
-...superintendent.

Yeah, I know,
not the office boy.

But this was your department.

And this was
a very serious allegation

against a prominent, you know,
public individual.

Me, I can't think of
any reason in the world

why you wouldn't have wanted to
be across all this yourself

and why there is no record
of the investigation.

Unless there was
no investigation.

Unless you were sweeping
all this under the carpet

to protect your friend.

Did any of the boys
at Sands View

complain about sexual abuse
to you

or any of the officers
you knew of?

God, no.
Absolutely not.

Because you would
have investigated.

Correct.
100% correct.

You and your solicitor
have a written request

from a police officer
of inspector rank,

independent of this inquiry

and prior
to this voluntary interview,

requesting your participation in
a video identification process.

Mr. Fairbank is reluctant
to submit himself to a process

dependent on what must by now be
extremely unreliable memories.

Okay.

D.C. Fleming.

Item reference ASJ-76
is a newspaper cutting

dated 14th March '97.

Do you recognize this image?

It's me and Councilor Roach.

What was your connection
with the charity?

Well, I would be there,
at his invitation,

if he thought there was
a crime-prevention angle.

"Keeping young lads this side
of the law" sort of thing.

Item reference ASJ-116.

Item ASJ-116 is a newspaper
clipping dated 7th August 1995.

For the tape, I am showing the
interviewee a copy of this item.

Do you recognize the man
in this photograph

with you
and Councilor Dale Roach?

I think we all do.

And was he involved
in the charities too?

I believe so.
Some of them, yes.

So in addition to the complaints
made about Councilor Dale Roach,

were there any other complaints

made about
any other prominent individuals

involved in sexual assaults
on young people?

Not that I recall.

Right.

Because according to our
colleagues in Operation Yewtree,

there were numerous complaints.

And according to our colleagues
in Operation Midland,

there were numerous complaints.

So why did you not investigate
any of these?

I don't recall
any specific investigations.

We know there were complaints.

We know you were
supposed to investigate them.

And then on the 7th of July
you confessed

that you investigated them.

I must sound like
a stuck record,

but I honestly don't remember.

It's the honest truth.

Were you under pressure
to turn a blind eye?

I don't know
how you mean, Ted.

From executive officers
or political interests?

What's put that idea
in your head?

What we have here is Dale Roach
interfering with young boys.

Now, call me a cynic,
but he's a politician,

and they are all born liars.

Then we have this celebrity
up here,

and we all know show-business
people have very low morals.

But you were a police officer.

A chief superintendent.

I really want to help, Ted,
but I don't, uh,

see what more I can say.

May I ask, how far
are we going with this today?

Do you have any evidence
to put to Mr. Fairbank?

No, no.
This is a voluntary interview.

He's just helping us
with our inquiries.

I'm sorry that I can't
fill in the blanks,

but you know,
I'm not as sharp as I was.

So you keep saying.

Interview terminated.

Anything else I can do,

don't hesitate to ask.

CCTV showed Danny Waldron
arriving here early

the morning
after he killed Linus Murphy.

He came in
from that direction,

deposited evidence
in a storage container,

and then he left on foot
in that direction.

-The way back to his flat?
-Yeah.

I mean, Danny was laying a trail
for us to find

if anything happened to him.

There was even an envelope
addressed to me,

but it was empty.

Forensics suggest at one time
it contained a note

written immediately
after the murder.

Now, I believe Danny got
information out of Linus Murphy

that enabled him to compile
a list of abusers.

If Danny had written the list
while he was still with Linus,

then he must have had it
with him when he left here.

If that was me,

I'd take the opportunity
to recce a safe spot

and then hide the list,
or a backup copy,

that night
under the cover of darkness.

Trust me.

Well, you know all about
concealing evidence.

You had to hide 50 grand.

That's not what happened
at all.

FLEMING: My God.
He's with Denton.

See, the pair of them
are in it together.

See, I told you
we had to watch his every move.

They're retracing
Danny's steps.

Why?

ARNOTT: Danny's flat
is just over on the next street.

Any further
and he risked being spotted.

I think I know what he did.

[ Knock on door ]

Gill.

I understand
you decided to proceed

with questioning
Patrick Fairbank.

Yeah, I decided to put the man
on the spot myself

rather than turn it over
to some other department.

There's conflict of interest.

How exactly?

Your affiliation
with Fairbank.

I've never put
my personal loyalties

above my professional duty.

You're being naive.

I'm not referring to
any ordinary relationship.

What would it look like
if Fairbank slips any inquiry

and then it's revealed that
the senior investigating officer

is part of
the same closed organization?

What organization
are you talking about?

Secret handshakes.
Bare trouser legs.

Whatever it is
you're alluding to,

I am not at liberty
to discuss it.

No doubt Dale Roach
was part of the same lodge.

We can't have it appear
that you're protecting Fairbank.

Protecting him?

I'm doing my level best
to investigate him.

There's substantial crossover
with other inquiries.

Politically, it would be
expedient to hand over our files

and let Midland and Yewtree
run with it.

I have been informed
of systematic depravity

against children
who were wards of the state

by high-ranking officials
of the state.

Now, how much money
are we gonna spend

chasing clapped-out deejays

when the people
who knew about this depravity

and/or turned a blind eye to it
and/or were involved in it

are using that power
to cover their tracks?

Individuals, I might add, Gill,
who appointed you.

Well, that's absurd.

Is it?

Is it really?

Thank you for this file.

Perhaps you could
help me understand

why it's been doctored.

-I'm sorry?
-Doctored.

And it was you, Gill,

who brought me this file

with crucial pieces
of information omitted.

I can't explain
how that happened.

Oh, yeah?
Well, I can explain it to you.

It happened
because it was known

that behind the seemingly lawful
killing of a violent criminal

there lay a dark secret.

Probably the darkest secret
in our society today.

So are you going to advise me
who provided you with that file?

Are you doing this
on purpose, Ted?

Doing what?

Sophisticated adults
are perfectly capable

of working effectively
despite personal intimacy,

but clearly you're not
a sophisticated adult.

Clearly I'm not.

I only see black and white
with no gray areas in between.

And anything
that happened between us

that went beyond
the professional,

well, it was a mistake,

and we just have to
put it behind us.

You're right.
It was a mistake.

But not the biggest
you've made.

DENTON: The only place we found
on our recce was a churchyard.

Quiet, secluded, plenty of
places to hide something.

The only problem that Danny
faced was finding the exact spot

that he had hidden his list

days, weeks, or possibly even
months later.

[ Door opens ]

What's going on here?

-We're --
-We're searching burial records.

[ Door closes ]

SAM: Her?

ARNOTT: I'm sorry.
We needed a place to work.

SAM:
In our home?

We're searching for
a missing piece of evidence.

SAM: Oh, really.

ARNOTT:
She's pieced together

how Danny Waldron's mind
might have been working.

She's had enough experience
of avoiding coppers.

SAM:
You are unbelievable.

ARNOTT: I'm...

I'm desperate.

I'm gonna get petrol
and some chocolate.

When I come back,
she'd better be gone.

What was the name
of the boys' home again?

Sands View.

DENTON:
Plot 121 -- Lenora Sands.

-I'm going alone.
-Steve, don't.

-Need a lift?
-No.

I'll call you
if I find anything.

COTTAN:
They're splitting up.

You take Steve.

[ Cellphone rings ]

D.C. Fleming.

COTTAN: Kate, it's me.

Look, as she was leaving,

Lindsay looked like she'd led
Steve on a wild goose chase.

Poor bastard.

COTTAN: Yeah, well don't you
feel too sorry for him.

Why?

That lead on Steve.

It looks like
it's gonna pan out.

He really did plant that money
at Lindsay's.

I'm sorry.

I just thought
you'd want to know

before it becomes
common knowledge.

Yeah. Thanks.

Sorry.

Kate?

You were following me?

What are you doing here,
Steve?

Looking for the list.

For Christ sake, Steve.

Whatever's going on
between you and Lindsay,

I really don't
give a shit anymore.

Danny Waldron died
because of what he was onto,

and I'm trying
to solve this case!

You're not gonna solve anything.
Lindsay's making a tit of you.

But you and your new partner,
you deserve each other.

What's that supposed to mean?

There's no list here, Steve.

If there's not, Lindsay's gonna
get what's coming.

Well, she's not
the only one.

I trusted you.
We were partners.

He's on that first machine
on the right.

Thanks.

Hi, Joe.
D.C. Fleming.

Yeah, I remember.

Joe, I need you
to look at some material

from our inquiry
into Sands View --

photos of individuals of
a certain age and appearance --

to see if any of these men
could be the police officer

you or the other lads
made a complaint to.

Okay, well, show us them, then.

I'm sorry, Joe,
but there are strict rules

on photographic identification.

You'll need to accompany me
to a police station.

D.I. Denton.

Did this man come in here...

...early one morning
about two months ago?

WOMAN: Mm...

I'd have to check.

Great.

DENTON: I'm looking at
the 7th of June around 8:00 a.m.

[ Gags ]

[ Retching ]

Joe, what is it?
Joe?

It's okay.
It's okay.

JOE:
[ Speaking indistinctly ]

-FLEMING: It's okay.
-[ Sobbing ]

All right?

Oh, I'm fine, thanks.

Steve?

Only me.

Lindsay Denton,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion of impersonating
a police officer.

And as you're on license,
that'll mean a return to prison.

What a crying shame.

No, just wait.

Wait.

Listen.

All right, don't take me
to a police station.

I request AC-12.

I'm gonna make a statement.

No skin off my nose.

I thought it was Steve's car
till I saw the registration.

Yeah, well, my Ferrari's
in the shop,

so I had to get a carpool job
with the rest of the rabble.

No back roads.
Just stick to the main drag.

Don't worry.

I'm not gonna
put my hand on your knee,

if that's what you think.

So, what's all this big news
you've got for us, then?

All in good time.

[ Tires screech, horn blares ]

I said no back roads.

Change of plan.
Nearest station's Polk Avenue.

I'll take you there,

they can charge you for
impersonating a police officer,

that's you back inside.

End of.

Okay, listen.

I found Danny Waldron's list.

The VIPs who were abusing boys
at Sands View.

How'd you manage that, then?

It didn't make sense
for Danny to make a hard copy

of the original list
that could be lost or destroyed.

He'd make an online copy.

Obviously you'd have already
seized his phone and computers.

Yeah, obviously.

He would have used a device
that couldn't be traced to him,

and I spotted an Internet café
just off his route home.

He used a webcam
on one of the computers

to capture an image
of the original list.

So how'd you manage
to crack his passwords and that?

You'd have already harvested
Danny's usernames and passwords

on his phone, computer,
and online accounts.

They're all recorded here.

Fortunately people have a habit

of recycling usernames
and passwords.

So how did you manage
to find his e-mail?

We looked everywhere.

Danny was smart enough to keep
the e-mail only as a draft.

If it isn't sent,
it can't be traced.

Well, you've thought of
everything, haven't you?

I have indeed.

I deleted Danny's draft.

The only place
that list exists

is as a draft
in my e-mail account.

So you take me to AC-12,
and I'll hand it over.

At a price, naturally.

So, what price
would that be, then?

My convictions quashed.
A full pardon.

Clean slate, hmm?
Fresh start?

Are you making fun of me?

Actually I wasn't.

You just take me to AC-12,
all right?

You know what?

Don't worry.
I'm gonna call them myself.

AC-12 don't want
nothing to do with you.

They just want you
back in prison.

What, you're different somehow,
are you?

I know you took that bribe,
Lindsay.

But you didn't do it
for the money, did you?

You took it because you wanted
to find a young girl

who was being groomed
by Hunter and his cronies.

-How do you know that?
-50 grand the first time.

100 grand this time?

What?

Face facts, Lindsay.

Your old life?

No, that's a pipe dream.

It's gone.

Yeah.
It's sad.

The only way
you can get a fresh start...

Well, do I have to
spell it out?

100 grand and you forget about
all of this,

that list included.

All you have to do
is forget about everything.

All of this.

Look, just take the money, you
mad bitch, and stay out of it!

What are you doing?

Why don't you
just take the money?!

Because I'm a police officer!

D.I. Cottan,

we are two feet apart
in a confined space.

Frankly, for you, this is
a forensic ground zero.

Don't do that.

You had four, five people killed
and me framed.

I expect you had
Danny Waldron killed too.

And never a single speck
of blood on your hands.

You want to shoot me?

You go ahead.

If it sends you to prison,
that is my job done.

Do not send that message.

You're just a go-between.

You're a weasel.

Other people
do your dirty work for you.

Now you put that gun away.

You take me to AC-12.

Let's see what they all think
when I bring you in.

When I bring in the Caddy.

[ Beeps ]

No.

No!
