Original subtitles

HASTINGS: He did not slip

and fall down three flights of stairs by accident.

And you were the only person who knew he was there, Mr Huntley.

You're linked to the near-death of an anticorruption detective

and you were hanging around outside a crime scene.

HASTINGS: Is there any chance that this could be Nick Huntley?

I'm not sure if he's the one who attacked me or...

Maybe I'm remembering an old case. I'm sorry, sir.

TIM: What have you got against Michael Farmer,

except him being retarded enough for you to frame?

That sample, KRG-13, was tampered with.

HUNTLEY: He was one of our own.

I'm gonna get on with finding the bastard who did this.

Hana Reznikova was the last person

known to have had contact with the victim.

Hana Reznikova, I am arresting you

in connection with the murder of Timothy Ifield.

- You cut yourself? - It's fine.

I just caught it on some brickwork.

We're going to take a swab.

- Is that necessary? - You should see a specialist.

I have the authority to charge you with the following offences,

namely for the murder of Baswinder Kaur,

the murder of Leonie Collersdale,

the kidnapping and attempted murder of Hana Reznikova.

Michael, the charges against you are going to be hard to fight.

Or we can consider the best way

to reduce the overall time you end up serving in prison.

He'd change his story if he thought it'd help.

The FI says whatever

the investigating police officer wants to hear?

You're putting words in my mouth.

Say that again, DC Desford.

Is DS Flynn an undercover AC-12 officer?

- (Groans) - You see the pattern here?

Sexism, undercover operations and questionable evidence.

Oh, you should have seen his face.

He had no idea where I was getting the ammunition.

This is a signed authority from Assistant Chief Constable Hilton

recusing AC-12 from your inquiry into me,

my team and the above offences.

- Ted. - Sir.

There's an institutional failure to admit error here, sir.

Actually, it's a wilful effort

to bury allegations of wrongdoing and, to cap it all,

the only department that's trying to get to the truth -

mine - is the one that's been recused!

You're right, Ted. There has been a failure.

To provide sufficient evidence against Roz Huntley.

Plus, she's levelled credible accusations

against your undercover officer of entrapment,

of coaching witnesses, possibly even of manipulating charges.

My officers conduct themselves to the letter of the law, sir.

So you didn't have a deeply corrupt officer

embedded in your department for two years?

No-one regrets more than me, sir,

not seeing through Matthew Cottan's deception.

Cottan's dying declaration,

I want the full recording handed over to me.

- Morning, Jan. - Morning, sir.

Sir, my department operates under the protection

of no reciprocity, as well you know.

That part of the recording was released

because it pertained to court proceedings.

The rest was withheld, and will continue to be withheld,

in case it alerts those officers

who are subject to our ongoing lines of inquiry.

You've had a year to pursue the claims

made in Cottan's dying declaration.

Where are all the suspects, hm?

This alleged clandestine network of corrupt police officers

in league with organised crime?

Arrests? None. Charges? None.

Well, it's not without the want of trying, sir, believe you me.

It's clear to me, sir, that there are officers-

and possibly some senior officers - still active,

who were aware of and/or complicit with

Matthew Cottan's offences, who were aware of

and/or complicit with an institutional cover-up.

AC-12 is being met with a conspiracy of silence.

We're not in on it. We're trying to break it.

Failing to break it.

Roz Huntley's proved you're an ineffectual organisation.

- A corrupt organisation. - Sir, I must protest.

My guess is that we don't know

the half of Matthew Cottan's activities.

The real reason you're keeping that full recording secret

is because of the ammunition it'll give AC-12's critics.

Untrue. Categorically untrue.

You can't say I didn't give you a chance, Ted.

I'll be reporting to the DCC and the Chief Constable

that AC-12 is more damaging to the Police Service

than the officers you're meant to be investigating.

(Laboured breathing)

Just hold your back straight.

Very good.

Keep your head up.

- Good. - (He grunts)

You're doing great. Take it nice and slowly.

That's it. Keep the back straight.

- Keep it going. - I'm all right.

DOCTOR: Your injuries were extremely serious.

The X-rays showed that we've done a good job

with your legs and pelvis,

but your MRI showed that there's still significant

swelling at the site of your vertebral fracture.

I'll be walking, though?

At this stage, it's not possible

to rule out long-term mobility problems.

I wish we could be more positive.

(Softly) Thank you.

DS Arnott's attacker.

Thing is, boss, the lab's put the images through the software

and there's a decent chance Arnott's attacker

is the same person captured in the original sighting,

the night of Leonie Collersdale's disappearance.

Thanks, Neil.

Well, it's possible. Of course it is.

But it calls into question Michael Farmer's guilt.

And what we're hearing is that Farmer's on the verge

of changing his plea to guilty.

And regarding Timothy Ifield's murder, still the only person

we can actually place at Tim's murder is Hana Reznikova.

Thank you, everyone.

Sarge?

The boss is so keen to pin Tim's murder on Hana...

..whilst Balaclava Man's still out there.

You know AC-12 interviewed her husband over Arnott's fall.

And who's seen in the vicinity?

Balaclava Man.

(Beeps)

Sir.

Remain at attention.

DS Fleming here, someone blew her cover.

Thanks to them, Huntley has entrapped me

into discrediting the investigation.

Now, I told you, fella, if ever there was a leak,

we'd know it was you.

- Do you have any evidence? - You've got a bloody nerve.

See, undercover officers have a lifespan.

There comes a time when they've been deployed once too often.

They get recognised or lose their touch.

She knew stuff about my personal life. She got that from someone.

How would I know anything about your personal life?

Wasn't me, sir.

Get out! Get out of my sight.

Go on!

You lot treat everyone like mugs.

- Who's the mug now? - Get out!

(He whispers) Jesus Christ.

It's worse than I thought, sir.

How?

They're not scared of us any more.

Not only that. Buckells is right.

Fat chance he knew anything about my personal life.

What?

Somebody in here?

No. Never.

Jamie...

(Phone rings)

Polk Avenue, Major Violent Crime Unit, PC Jatri.

Could you hold the line, please?

What is it?

A woman's remains have been found.

DCI Huntley.

- Hi, Roz. - So what have we got so far?

Body parts wrapped in plastic bin liners.

We're only a quarter of a mile away from where the body parts

of Leonie Collersdale were found.

So this must be the rest of her. Right?

Except these remains are nowhere near as decomposed as Leonie's.

The wrapping in bin liners is also a contrasting feature.

Most likely, this is someone else.

So far, we appear to have a leg split in two sections

and an arm similarly disarticulated.

Possibly more to come as we extend the dig.

The first priority is to get an ID.

Sure.

Less decomposition. More recent.

And how long has Michael Farmer been in custody?

(Camera clicks)

Sir, someone to see you, in your office with Kate. If that's OK?

Yeah. Who?

He wanted to introduce himself, sir.

Oh, right.

(Phone rings)

Steve!

I hope you'll forgive me if I don't get up, sir.

(Chuckles) It's great to see you,

but you really shouldn't have put yourself out like this.

This isn't a social call, sir. I'm returning to work.

I've tried to tell him it's too soon, sir.

Look, Occupational Health have given me the all-clear

to return to restricted duties. This is just a precaution, sir.

The doctors have said I'll make a full recovery.

Great.

Well, I can't say as I'm not glad to see you.

There's been a few developments since you've been away.

I've brought him up to speed, sir.

Roz Huntley can't be allowed to mislead the investigation.

ACC Hilton never said anything about not investigating

Tim Ifield's murder or Nick Huntley's movements that night.

If Nick Huntley's involved, we'll be the ones to catch him.

And if he's involved, you can bet Roz Huntley is, too.

Well, what are yous waiting on, then, the No.19 bus?

Sir.

- Take your time, Nick. - The 25th...

Erm...

Yes.

I was at a work function in Northampton that evening.

SOLICITOR: Yeah.

And I bet there are loads of witnesses to corroborate that?

- Yes. - Great. Thanks.

I hope that's covered. Anything else?

Do you have any of your officers' DNA on...

You all right? Do you want a tea or coffee?

Er, no, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

If you need anything, just call me on the mobile.

Save you having to...you know.

Kate, Nick Huntley's alibi, has someone checked that out?

No, while you was away,

we stopped being capable of basic police work.

Sorry.

Actually, with all the files being recalled,

it could have fallen through the cracks, I'll double-check.

Cheers. I appreciate it.

There's no evidence he's the man who attacked you.

I know.

OK.

Nick Huntley claimed, via his solicitor, that he attended

the legal conference's closing drinks reception

and didn't leave until around 8pm.

However, no records were kept of attendance at the function.

So there's no independent corroboration

of Nick Huntley's whereabouts at that time.

But...

ANPR detected the car registered to Nick Huntley

on the M6 at 18:15.

He's been lying.

And the motorways were clear that evening.

He had plenty of time to carry out the offence.

Great. Great. Cheers, Maneet.

- That's great. Thanks, Maneet. - Great work.

So he was under pressure to come up with an alibi

and he took a risk. All we've got, though,

is he's been caught out in a lie.

Cheers, Jamie, we've got this.

Wasn't his fault the Roz Huntley interview went pear-shaped.

The gaffer brought him in while I was undercover.

I'm back now. And so are you.

I need to get ready for work.

Have you been to the doctor?

Yes, and I'm fine.

It's starting to stink, you know.

That thing on your wrist.

"That thing" is just a graze. And it's fine.

(Door closes)

(Low chatter)

Jamie, sorry, just had a message from IT.

We need to reset usernames and passwords. Again.

Yeah, sure.

(Phone buzzes)

The FC's on her way down.

Looks like she's got the first results on the new remains.

Good. Just give me a minute.

All right, boss.

(Door closes)

Everyone, in the incident room.

(Door closes)

- Go ahead, Rupal. - Thank you, DCI Huntley.

Forensic report regarding human remains

detected on the Queen's Chase woodland on the 23rd April.

The remains have been examined by the pathologist and...

(Voice fades)

..and lower limbs and the pelvic area of an adult female

aged approximately 20 to 25 years.

DNA was harvested from the remains and matched

to control samples relating to...

..Leonie Collersdale.

- It's Leonie? - Yeah.

Well, that's... That's great news. Thank you.

This is not a new victim.

So, another family doesn't have to deal with a terrible tragedy.

And also we do not need to consider another suspect.

OK. Thanks.

Sorry, boss. Rupal, a question. At the crime scene,

you said the degree of decomposition was different

from the rest of Leonie's body parts.

DS Twyler's correct.

The pathologist found evidence of deep-freezing of the remains.

The body parts must have been kept in cold storage

- before being buried. - Were there other differences?

Yes, the remains were wrapped in paper

and then sealed inside of plastic bin liners.

We've taken samples and studies are ongoing

to see if these materials can provide any leads

on who might have handled them or where.

OK. Thank you.

Thanks, everyone.

Michael Farmer's legal team have made an application

to change his plea to guilty.

For Christ's sake.

From his viewpoint, the evidence just keeps stacking up.

I know. His solicitor must have told him

to cut his losses and go for a reduced sentence.

But one of you have got to visit that prison

and tell Michael Farmer that we are fighting his corner.

Sorry, after everything that's happened,

why would Farmer trust a word either of us say?

The word of any police officer.

We're just waiting on your solicitor.

You know, Michael, there are other solicitors.

Better ones.

The first time...

about Jade...

I liked him.

Your solicitor for your first conviction?

OK. Erm...

He may not be the best person, but I can check him out for you,

if you'd like to see him.

(Door opens)

Sorry. Sorry.

Michael, I've arranged for you to have a visitor.

(Door opens)

Nana!

Hello, Michael. It's lovely to see you.

I've missed you, Nana.

SOLICITOR: Michael, I'll see you after.

I'll leave you all to catch up.

How are you managing, Michael?

It's horrible in here, Nana.

I've always cared for you.

That won't change, no matter what.

You can tell me the truth.

You can tell me and I won't stop loving you.

I know.

Did you do it, Michael?

Did you?

No, Nana.

No.

Then tell the truth, Michael.

Don't say you're guilty if you're not.

OK, Nana.

Say it, Michael.

Not guilty, Nana.

- Not guilty. - Oh...

(Phone buzzes)

PC Jatri.

(Beeps)

Roz, this is Dr Patel from Starbrook Road Surgery.

I need you to call me back urgently regarding the swab

I took from the wound on your arm.

Please go straight to your nearest A&E...

I'm sorry to interrupt, ma'am.

The application from Michael Farmer hasn't gone to court.

What's the delay?

They're saying he's not planning to change to a guilty plea.

- OK. Thanks, Farida. - Ma'am.

(Door closes)

Framing Michael Farmer couldn't have been random.

It was no coincidence

Michael had been on the sex offenders' register.

A loner with no-one to provide an alibi,

who follows a predictable routine, out every night

to visit his grandma, then the night shift.

But we went through the records. Roz Huntley never had

anything to do with Michael's prior conviction.

She never worked with anyone who did.

So how could she have picked Michael?

You know what they're gonna say.

Because we couldn't pin your fall on Nick Huntley,

we're going after the pair of them for summat else.

Yeah.

- Thanks, mate. - All right.

- Getting good at this. - Cheers.

- I'll come up. - No. You're all right.

My building's got a lift.

- You sure? - Yeah. I'm fine.

- Good night, Kate. - Good night, Steve.

Sarge, you asked me to track down Michael Farmer's solicitor

from his conviction when he was 16.

Yeah, for whatever reason, Michael seemed to like him.

You'll never guess who it was.

- Kate. - Yeah?

What did I say about there being no such thing as coincidence?

Mr Lakewell, you're Nick Huntley's solicitor.

- Is that correct? - No.

I just provided him with a bit of legal advice, as a favour.

How would you describe your relationship with Nick Huntley?

We were at law school together, old mates.

- You socialised? - Yes.

Your wives socialised with you?

I'm divorced, but, yes, we mix socially.

What's behind this line of inquiry?

Do you know the name Jade Hopkirk?

Nope. Doesn't ring a bell.

Mr Lakewell denies knowing Jade Hopkirk.

Detective attempts rudimentary interview technique

on seasoned criminal solicitor.

Makes a bit of a tit of herself.

We're looking into who knew about Michael Farmer's past,

who might have considered him a likely suspect

for offences against young women.

Jade Hopkirk was the alleged victim

when Michael Farmer was convicted of rape in 2009.

Yes, of course. Now I recall exactly who you mean.

(Clears throat) I represented Michael.

He pleaded guilty.

He had sex with a 15-year-old girl without her consent.

That's rape. He pleaded guilty because he was guilty.

Was it your idea not to test that out on a jury?

What went on between myself and my client is privileged.

So you never discussed the case with Nick Huntley?

Or Roz Huntley?

Exactly.

As you'll recall, sir, at his interview with AC-12,

Mr Huntley declined to answer questions

regarding his whereabouts

for parts of the evening of the 18th of March,

the night of Timothy Ifield's murder.

Can you vouch for his whereabouts?

Listen, Ironside,

you've got no evidence against Nick, so...I don't have to.

Fine.

Come on, Steve.

(Pills rattle)

(Phone buzzes)

Jimmy?

I've just had AC-12 turn up,

asking questions about Nick's whereabouts

on the night of Timothy Ifield's murder.

What did you tell them?

Nothing, obviously. I thought you and Nick should know.

Good. Thank you, Jimmy.

And no need to tell Nick. I'll let him know.

I've already sent him a voicemail.

Should I not have?

No, that's fine.

Thanks. Thanks again, Jimmy.

(Phone rings)

You've reached the personal voicemail

of Assistant Chief Constable Derek Hilton.

You said AC-12 were finished.

You said their witch hunt was finished,

but they're still after me.

My husband, his solicitor - any backdoor route they can find.

You don't know what this is doing to my marriage.

Well done.

I'm finished.

I feel drained, sir.

It's not long till the start of my maternity leave.

I see.

Things are beginning to get on top of me.

The timing couldn't be worse.

I really need all my best people, you know.

The last thing I want to do is let you and the department down.

I see. Well...if your mind's made up,

I wish you all the best, darling.

- Thank you, sir. - Yeah.

(Opens door)

I'd appreciate it if you don't say too much to the team.

I don't want anyone making a fuss.

All right.

(Door closes)

NICK: Listen, thanks for meeting me outside the office.

JIMMY: Yes. Any time, mate.

Oh, and thank you for the voicemail last night.

I don't know where AC-12 are going with this,

but I had to let you and Roz know.

Did you two get a chance to talk it through last night?

Actually, no.

Oh?

No. This is why I wanted to meet you outside the office.

Me and Roz...

It's a bit messed up right now.

It's a lot messed up.

(Sighs)

I've been there, the divorce. Sorry to hear that, mate.

It's more than that.

Erm...

Roz has been lying to me

about where she was when Tim Ifield was killed.

She has this...this wound on her arm from the same night.

I've got tangible concerns...

..that she's involved in a serious crime.

(Sighs) My God.

I'm at my wits' end, mate.

God, of course. Er... I'm really sorry.

If you want me to, I can sort it.

Voluntary interview. Anonymity. Independent police station.

Immunity.

If - a big "if"- you want me to.

That was the solicitor talking. As your friend, I'd warn you,

that even if your concerns turn out to be baseless...

this could mean the end of your marriage.

The end of your family.

No happy ending.

(Nick stifles sobs)

I'm sorry.

- (Knocks) HASTINGS: Come in.

Ah, Kate.

Sir, this is an IT report.

I asked them to detail any searches or downloads

of any sensitive case material carried out by AC-12 staff

in relation to undercover operations

in the last two weeks.

If you go to the entry on page 6, sir, I found this, instead.

I'm very sorry, sir.

No, no, no. No, you did the right thing. Absolutely.

- Thank you, Kate. Thank you. - Sir.

DC Desford.

- Sir? - Yeah.

Come in. Shut the door.

Sir.

(Door closes)

Now, tell me, for what reason have you been...

.. accessing highly sensitive AC-12 files,

namely DI Matthew Cottan's dying declaration?

I haven't, sir.

No?

No, sir. No, this wasn't me, sir.

For years,

the security in this department has been watertight, fella.

Absolutely watertight.

Then you come along. Suddenly, we're leaking like a colander.

I know what this is about.

First, I'm scapegoated over the Huntley interview, now this.

I could fight this...

but I don't want to be somewhere I'm not wanted.

So I'll take a transfer, sir.

It's definitely the smartest move right now.

And I hope you'll approve my request, sir,

so I won't need to lodge a complaint.

Are you threatening me?

No. I have been treated unfairly, sir.

And, just for the record,

I had absolutely nothing to do with any security breach.

(Knock at door)

Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

No. I was miles away. Come on in.

I thought you should see this first.

The material wrapped round the body parts was newspaper.

- Mm-hm. - Some fragments...

survived sufficiently for the print to be legible.

We were able to run sections of text through a search engine

to find matches with online editions.

All were nationals, so there's no localising information.

However...

the dates are significant.

Some text related to news reports

that only went to press at the end of March.

As you know, Michael Farmer was remanded in custody

and Tim Ifield was already dead.

Right.

Shall we go through all this in a team briefing?

We've got something else on just now.

Will you leave it with me?

Sure, no problem.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Right.

(Winces)

(Coughs)

NICK: Roz?

- (Knocking) - Are you OK?

Nick?

(She groans)

NICK: (Echoing) Lying on a beach?

Lying on a beach? Nick...

Lying bitch.

Hi, Rupal.

Anything I can help you with?

- Roz not in? - Not seen her yet.

Well, I'm only around this morning.

I didn't want to miss the team briefing.

- What team briefing? - About the new findings.

Leonie Collersdale's remains having been disposed of

after Michael Farmer was remanded.

I see.

(Phone rings)

(Phone continues ringing)

Neil?

I've got one thing to say... and we don't ever meet again.

And no-one...no-one, ever hears my name.

Sorry to call you back in so late, sir.

I've got a source at Polk Avenue.

Now we're sucking diesel. Go on.

OK, so... he or she insists on anonymity.

They won't go on record or cooperate with any inquiry.

What they did say is they've received new forensic evidence.

Leonie's remains were buried after Farmer was arrested.

There's no way Hilton can still back Huntley after this.

Yeah.

And, erm, what else do we know about these new forensics, Kate?

Well, it appears they've been held in cold storage,

probably a deep freeze, for some time before being buried.

But this new evidence gives us a reason to reopen the inquiry

and get the charges against Michael Farmer dropped.

Steve? Steve, are you OK?

Body parts held in cold storage.

Jackie Laverty, a property developer

with ties to organised crime, last seen 2012.

Yeah. The piece of work that Tony Gates was hanging out with.

According to Gates, Jackie's body was kept in cold storage,

with incriminating DNA, a means of blackmailing an officer

into manipulating criminal investigations.

Exactly what's been done with Leonie Collersdale's body.

- You think they're connected? - Well, there's more, sir.

The man who attacked me, he was wearing a balaclava

and he struck me over the head with a baseball bat.

I wasn't sure if that was a real memory

or I was confused with an old case-

the men involved with Jackie Laverty's murder.

If you remember, I was attacked by some of them.

They wore balaclavas and they used baseball bats.

Tony Gates, the only witness to Jackie Laverty's murder,

told me men wearing balaclavas broke into Jackie's house

and knocked him out cold with a baseball bat.

The MO's the same. It raises the question as to whether

these organised criminals are involved in the murders

or are manipulating the investigation somehow.

Whether they're protecting guilty parties...

That's what we don't know.

Anyway, thanks, Steve, and...

Kate, you'd better get home and get some kip.

Look, wait, sir.

Jackie's disappearance,

this was our case and it remains unsolved.

We've got every right to reopen it.

And, as they may be connected, that might give us leeway

to examine the forensics on Leonie Collersdale's body.

It's your call, sir. Hilton may use this to shut us down.

He may.

And if we go down...

..we go down fighting.

- Sir. - Sir.

(Blood-pressure cuff inflating)

(Air hisses)

(Groans softly)

What are you doing?

Just making sure everything's as it should be.

Why am I here?

Your husband wants to explain everything.

I'll be back with an antibiotic injection.

- How are you feeling? - (Groans)

What's going on?

Roz, they had to operate.

I just want to go home.

Hey, listen, calm down. You're gonna hurt yourself, Roz.

Just listen to me.

The wound was very deep.

The tissue...was dead

and the infection had gotten into your bloodstream.

They call it "septic shock".

If they didn't operate, you could have died.

There was no choice.

No...

(Gasps) Oh, no!

Ssh, ssh, ssh.

- No! - Hey, hey, hey.

- (Gasps) - Ssh, ssh, ssh.

Why didn't you stop them?

They had to operate, to save your life, Roz.

Why didn't you stop them?

She's still very woozy, poor thing.

NURSE: It's a lot to take in. No wonder.

(Roz moans softly)

- Steve. - Oh, cheers.

Jesus Christ.

Kate. Kate!

Our independent forensic scientist confirmed

the second set of body parts relating to Leonie Collersdale

shows cellular freeze-thaw damage,

similar to what we believe was done to Jackie Laverty's body,

and also that the newspaper found wrapping the body parts

has been dated to after Michael Farmer was remanded

and Tim Ifield was killed.

Great. That's in the bag.

Confirmation.

But what's even more significant, sir,

is he was also able to examine the deposit

of Timothy Ifield's blood supposedly detected

on the first set of Leonie Collersdale's remains.

An item of evidence we've not had direct access to before now.

And?

That blood deposit's contaminated

with the same high-density polythene fibres

from a forensic oversuit as the blood found at Ifield's flat.

Despite the samples being obtained weeks apart

by different investigators.

Mother of God. They've both been falsified.

In my view, sir, there's a very real possibility

Roz has been misleading the inquiry to protect her husband.

Right. Well, to hell with ACC Hilton. This is our vindication.

This puts us back in business.

Steve, you run things from here. Kate, take a couple of uniforms.

Get out and pick up Roz and Nick Huntley.

Diane, get me a car out front immediately.

Everyone, we need to find Nick and Roz Huntley, now.

Get on the phones.

Get me Polk Avenue Station.

(Phone rings)

Steve?

Roz Huntley hasn't reported for work.

She was admitted to City General two nights ago.

What's wrong with her?

They won't disclose the reason for her admission.

Patient confidentiality.

Received.

City General Hospital.

(Siren wails)

Mr Huntley.

Where's my wife?

She discharged herself.

Against medical advice.

- But why didn't you stop her? - We did our best.

She waited for antibiotics and painkillers.

You should have called me.

Mrs Huntley was very clear that you shouldn't be called.

Keep the change. Thanks.

You must be in a lot of pain.

I won't lie.

Come on.

Let's get you home to bed, ma'am.

No, just fill me in on everything.

Tell me.

This is...strictly off the record, ma'am.

I don't want to get anyone in any trouble.

That's OK. Tell me.

A solicitor has requested an appointment

for his anonymous client to give a voluntary interview

to an independent team of detectives.

What about?

The murder of Timothy Ifield.

Apparently, the solicitor is seeking immunity

for whatever his client's going to disclose.

Who's the solicitor?

James Lakewell.

Drive.

(Siren wails)

(Phone rings)

Fleming.

I got through to the ward. Huntley's discharged herself.

Nick Huntley came looking for her and left separately.

The nurse reckoned he was going to their home address.

Received.

Right. Turn around. Go, go! I'll direct you.

Roz?

Roz?

(He puts keys down)

Hi, Nick.

Roz, come on.

Let's be sensible. Let's get you back to hospital.

- Come on. - Not going anywhere with you.

Right, OK. Where are the kids?

They're fine.

- Where are the kids? - It's being taken care of.

Roz, you're worrying me.

You don't have a right to know where they are.

We're getting a divorce.

Look, Roz, OK,

you're angry and you're upset, and I get that and...

We're gonna talk about this when you're feeling better.

But right now I just need to know that the kids are safe.

Of course they're safe.

They're walking round to Claire's.

Right.

I'm just gonna call them.

Don't think that you stand a chance of gaining custody.

Amputating my hand without my consent?

That's grievous bodily harm.

Look, Roz, it wasn't me.

It was the surgeons.

You were gonna lose more than your hand.

You were gonna lose your arm or your life.

You did this to me...because you thought I'd had an affair.

No. You did this to yourself.

All your lies.

And it was you, outside the bathroom.

You were the one calling me a lying bitch.

And you think doing this to me makes me less?

Means no man will ever look at me?

Is this my punishment for being "a lying bitch"?

- (Puts phone down) - You've lied so much, Roz.

I've lost track of the truth.

You always said that you grazed your hand on some brickwork.

The infection they found was MRSA.

That's why it was so serious.

And it could never have happened

the way that you said that it did.

I can just about live with you covering up your infidelity.

I can't live with you covering up a murder.

Is that what you're gonna say to the detectives

at Fourth Street Station?

How did... How did you know about that?

All this to punish me.

- Well, now it's your turn. - What?

You lied about where you were

when Leonie Collersdale disappeared.

You were at the building when Steve Arnott was attacked.

I explained all of that.

And you were at the crime scene the night Ifield was murdered.

Outside!

The only male suspect to be placed at the crime scene.

- No. No, wait. No. - And you've lied about it

to every officer you've spoken to.

- To protect you! - No.

- To protect yourself. - What are you talking about?

Nicholas Huntley, I'm arresting you on suspicion

of the murder of Timothy Ifield.

- You do not have to say... - This is insane.

You do not have to say anything...

- I'm gonna get the kids. - ..but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

Mr Huntley, please don't make this

any harder than it is already.

- She's lying. She's lying. - Sir, please, just calm down.

Let us take you to the station.

- No! No! - Cuff him.

Calm down, sir.

You're hurting me!

Well, stop resisting.

- You're breaking my arm! - Stop resisting!

Polk Avenue Police. Please move along!

Ma'am, it's done.

Sorry, ma'am.

Do you want a minute with him?

Just take him.

There was no need to make a scene. Look at your poor wife.

I'm not saying anything until I speak to my solicitor.

KATE: What's going on? - It's Jimmy Lakewell. L-A-K...

- What's going on? - All under control. All sorted.

Oh, a delegation. I'm honoured.

My two investigators, sir. DS Arnott and DS Fleming.

I cannot believe I failed to make myself crystal clear.

AC-12 is recused from the Huntley case.

Yet you still attempted to make arrests.

Yes, sir, but some new evidence has come to light,

which we think is vitally important to this inquiry.

DS Fleming.

We've learnt Mr Huntley shares a solicitor with Michael Farmer

and it's possible Mr Huntley was aware of Michael Farmer's

prior sexual offences via this relationship.

- Right. - We also found

that a deposit, supposedly of Tim Ifield's blood,

found at his flat, was contaminated with fibres

from a forensic investigator's oversuit.

The blood deposit supposedly found on Leonie Collersdale's

body was contaminated in exactly the same way.

Clear indication of evidence tampering, sir, pure and simple.

Our interpretation is someone planted Timothy Ifield's blood

on Leonie Collersdale's body

in order to falsely implicate Tim in her murder.

Tim was onto a conspiracy, sir, the framing of Michael Farmer

to protect the real murderer.

The person with the opportunity and means to frame

both Michael Farmer and Timothy Ifield is DCI Roz Huntley.

By arresting him, she's acting as if she's been the one to ID

her husband as the murderer, while in reality,

she's been protecting him all this time.

She's had surgery on her arm. No-one knew she had a problem

and she's refusing access to her medical records.

So we've had to seek a court order.

Naturally, sir, we'd like to put things right straightaway.

We'd like to arrest her on suspicion

of perverting the course of justice.

But Leonie Collersdale's and Tim Ifield's murders

are DCI Huntley's cases

and, to reiterate,

you've been expressly forbidden from looking into them.

Yes, sir, but my team were investigating another case

and our inquiries led us unexpectedly to these findings,

which, sir, put a completely new complexion on everything.

What other case?

That would be the disappearance of Jackie Laverty, sir.

A property developer not seen since 2012.

HASTINGS: Something troubling you, sir?

Er...

You'll recall I was station chief at that time.

It was a difficult experience for us all.

Sir.

Well, this is great work, all of you. Great work.

But Roz Huntley had you recused and you accused Nick Huntley

of involvement in DS Arnott's injuries.

I can't risk your investigation

being tainted by accusations of bias.

In my view, your files should be handed over

to a new, more impartial, authority and they can decide

the best way to take these inquiries forward.

Sir, I must protest in the strongest possible terms.

Leave us.

Very well.

(Keypad beeps)

(Safe unlocks)

MAN: The paramedics are here. KATE: Just give me a second!

Stay with me. There's a network of corrupt

police officers doing the bidding of organised crime.

This is an unsustainable breach of protocol, sir.

KATE:..that's who we want,

the most senior officer in this corrupt network.

Who is the top dog, Dot?

- The Caddy. - No, you're The Caddy.

We know that. Come on, Dot.

- Told. - Told?

You told someone?

Someone very senior?

- Promo... - A promotion?

Someone promoted you?

Who? Come on, Dot.

Come in. He can't talk.

Blink twice with the first letter of his name.

A... B...

C...D...

E...F...

G...H...

I... H?

His name begins with H. Right.

PARAMEDIC: That's it, out of the way! I'll start bagging.

Respiratory arrest.

MAN: We're losing him.

(Stops video)

I see why you didn't want anyone sharing...

..H.

Sir, there are currently eight officers serving above the rank

of inspector whose surnames begin with an H.

Including yourself, sir.

Others, if you consider those who have relocated or retired.

There's only one who was Matthew Cottan's commanding officer

for two years, who recruited him

and turned a blind eye to his offending.

Yes, I recruited him, but I did not promote him.

Superintendent Hastings,

you will be served with a Regulation 15 notice.

You will have ten working days to answer these allegations,

and should the review board

remain unsatisfied with your answers...

..you will face a disciplinary hearing.

That is all.

Dismissed.

Sir.

(Door opens and closes)

(Puts handbrake on)

I'm coming up.

No. There's no need, honestly. I'm fine.

No, no. I just want to make sure you're doing all right.

I didn't want Occupational Health to know.

If I can't even look after myself, how can I do my job?

Steve, why don't you just...

just take a few weeks off, till you're stronger?

Michael Farmer doesn't have weeks.

It's his whole future on the line.

I'll put the kettle on.

You are gonna get better, aren't you, Steve?

I don't know, Kate.

(Chokes back tears)

You should sit down, ma'am.

I can get you some more of your painkillers.

- No. I'll be all right. - (Door opens)

Jimmy. Thank God.

I want some time with my client in a private room.

I'll see what I can do.

You'll need better than that, detective.

I'm glad to see you, mate.

JIMMY: Have you eaten? Do you need something to drink?

NICK: No. No, no. I'm fine.

All right, Roz. I'll take it from here.

NICK: Jimmy, this is insane.

I had nothing to do with it.

I don't know many that would have had the guts.

That was incredibly brave and honest of you, ma'am.

NICK: I've got no idea how this can be happening to me.

It was Roz.

She's lying about everything. Everything.
