Re: the unsolved murder of Gail
Vella on September 10th, 2019.

3
00:00:12,303 --> 00:00:14,292
What was Gail Vella digging into?

4
00:00:14,292 --> 00:00:16,591
Was it something that got
her killed?

5
00:00:16,591 --> 00:00:21,455
This programme contains some
strong language

6
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:24,732
Ah!

7
00:00:24,732 --> 00:00:27,372
This was all crossed wires.
I'm being scapegoated here.

8
00:00:27,372 --> 00:00:29,775
"Scapegoated"?

9
00:00:29,775 --> 00:00:33,871
Charge him.

You've become unable
to lead your team.

13
00:00:45,263 --> 00:00:46,287
What?

14
00:00:46,287 --> 00:00:49,332
You'll be permitted to
retire with your full pension

15
00:00:49,332 --> 00:00:55,055
and avoid the ignominy of
disciplinary action and dismissal.

John's life insurance.

17

It's as easy as that, Jo.

18
00:01:09,647 --> 00:01:12,079
I wanted to bring up
the other matter,

19
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:13,692
my concerns with Ryan.

20
00:01:13,692 --> 00:01:17,135
Drop it, Kate.

00:01:17,135 --> 00:01:19,572
I don't know where you're getting
your figures from, but I...

your own office, Chief Constable.

23
00:01:22,812 --> 00:01:27,567
The barefaced liar,
promoted to our highest office!

24
00:01:27,567 --> 00:01:28,812
And what about you,

25
00:01:28,812 --> 00:01:31,663
do you still believe there's
a fourth man out there?

26
00:01:31,663 --> 00:01:50,223
"H"?

27
00:01:50,223 --> 00:01:52,812
The analysis detected
partial matches to a nominal

whose DNA is stored on

They're blood relatives.

A prison officer making

found Jimmy Lakewell hanging,

WHISPERS:Christ sake.

37
00:02:18,492 --> 00:02:21,012
It wasn't your fault, sir.

38
00:02:21,012 --> 00:02:23,567
It was Lakewell's decision
to come back to prison.

00:02:23,567 --> 00:02:25,935
In the prison van,
<font color="

40
00:02:25,935 --> 00:02:29,903
Gail Vella was digging
into Lawrence Christopher...

41
00:02:29,903 --> 00:02:33,132
..the death in custody in 2003.

42
00:02:33,132 --> 00:02:40,847
I'll get right on to it, sir.

43
00:02:40,847 --> 00:02:44,687
We've been looking at any possible
links between Gail Vella's murder

44
00:02:44,687 --> 00:02:46,095
and the bookies robbery.

45
00:02:46,095 --> 00:02:48,783
We've established there was a
rendezvous for all the armed robbers

46
00:02:48,783 --> 00:02:50,532
in the middle of the night.

47
00:02:50,532 --> 00:02:53,327
Now, Jake Kilorgan described
an industrial estate,

48
00:02:53,327 --> 00:02:56,532
it's about ten to 15 minutes' drive
from his address in Moss Heath.

49
00:02:56,532 --> 00:02:58,383
The location had metal gates,

50
00:02:58,383 --> 00:03:07,279
there's a short road servicing
five to six industrial units.

51
00:03:07,279 --> 00:03:10,223
Industrial sites
in a 15-minute radius.

52
00:03:10,223 --> 00:03:12,207
Doesn't look like too many.

53
00:03:12,207 --> 00:03:15,252
Just the first batch, ma'am,
the ones we could find online.

54
00:03:15,252 --> 00:03:18,415
The chances are the OCG are
using somewhere more covert,

55
00:03:18,415 --> 00:03:20,052
so the team's
studying street images

56
00:03:20,052 --> 00:03:21,871
and then they'll
recce the best matches.

57
00:03:21,871 --> 00:03:24,303
OK. Keep me updated.Ma'am.

58
00:03:24,303 --> 00:03:26,223
Boss, have you got a minute?

59
00:03:26,223 --> 00:03:31,983
Sorry, Kate, not now.

60
00:03:31,983 --> 00:03:34,735
DSU Davidson travelled
by car from the Hill,

61
00:03:34,735 --> 00:03:38,575
arriving at her home address
at 20:17 this evening.Right.

62
00:03:38,575 --> 00:03:40,367
Steve.

63
00:03:40,367 --> 00:03:41,711
Thank you for coming, Kate.

64
00:03:41,711 --> 00:03:44,719
This is by far the safest
location for you right now.

65
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:46,063
Understood, sir.

66
00:03:46,063 --> 00:03:49,903
Did the SFC authorise you
to carry a concealed firearm?

67
00:03:49,903 --> 00:03:51,132
Good.

68
00:03:51,132 --> 00:03:53,551
Given what we've learned
about Ryan Pilkington,

69
00:03:53,551 --> 00:03:55,663
you have to look after yourself.

70
00:03:55,663 --> 00:04:01,487
So, what's happening on the Hill?

71
00:04:01,487 --> 00:04:02,772
Frankly, sir, I don't know.

72
00:04:02,772 --> 00:04:05,172
Jo's become cold
and distant towards me.

73
00:04:05,172 --> 00:04:08,591
I don't know what's

75
00:04:11,343 --> 00:04:13,692
The surveillance team report

76
00:04:13,692 --> 00:04:17,743
they're unable to observe
activity from within the property.

77
00:04:17,743 --> 00:04:20,815
You've put Jo under surveillance?
Why?

78
00:04:20,815 --> 00:04:23,412
Yeah, well, this is why we've
called you in today, Kate.

79
00:04:23,412 --> 00:04:26,895
We've examined DSU Davidson's
<font color="

00:04:26,895 --> 00:04:30,612
Her personnel file gives next
of kin as Samantha Davidson.

81

However, we've discovered
Samantha Davidson is deceased.

82
00:04:34,383 --> 00:04:37,007
Our in-depth forensic
examination of Farida Jatri's home

83
00:04:37,007 --> 00:04:41,772
detected Davidson's DNA.

match for Tommy Hunter.

85
00:04:47,183 --> 00:04:48,975
That's not the worst of it.

86
00:04:48,975 --> 00:04:54,671
There's an unusually high percentage
match and runs of homozygosity.

87
00:04:54,671 --> 00:04:56,052
Oh, my God.

88
00:04:56,052 --> 00:04:57,743
I know from Steve that
you've formed a view

89
00:04:57,743 --> 00:05:00,175
that Davidson isn't bent, Kate.

90
00:05:00,175 --> 00:05:37,572
But I'm sorry, it appears that she's
pulled the wool over your eyes.

00:05:52,335 --> 00:05:54,852

Sir, we thought you'd want to
see what's on the TV.Oh, right.

00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:01,743
TV:For too long now,

95
00:06:01,743 --> 00:06:08,532
police officers have had to serve
faceless, unaccountable bureaucrats.

96
00:06:08,532 --> 00:06:11,791
We've even had to suffer
political opportunists

trying to win votes by

with false
allegations of corruption.

00:06:18,575 --> 00:06:24,335
My duty, and the duty of every one
of my officers, is very clear.

100
00:06:24,335 --> 00:06:28,815
We serve the public,
not politicians,

101
00:06:28,815 --> 00:06:32,847
and it is high time
we took back control.

00:06:39,972 --> 00:06:58,212
Right, everybody back to work.
Come on.

00:06:58,212 --> 00:07:01,263
Thank you, Charlotte.

107
00:07:01,263 --> 00:07:02,927
Good of you to see me, sir.

108
00:07:02,927 --> 00:07:04,692
No need to call me "sir" any more.

109
00:07:04,692 --> 00:07:06,895
The Chief's thrown me under a bus.

I'm resigning.

113
00:07:14,831 --> 00:07:17,071
But why is the Chief doing this?

114
00:07:17,071 --> 00:07:21,372
I'd been fighting his
plan to scale back AC-12.

115
00:07:21,372 --> 00:07:23,023
Frankly, it's not been easy.

116
00:07:23,023 --> 00:07:25,212
You've been a bull in a china shop.

117
00:07:25,212 --> 00:07:28,692
I appreciate that, sir,
but you know me.

118
00:07:28,692 --> 00:07:32,652
If I see a bent copper, I only know
one way and that's full throttle.

119
00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:34,735
So prove it.

00:07:34,735 --> 00:07:41,172
It's down to you now, Ted,
in whatever time you've got left.

Sir.

Every time we get close,

00:09:16,367 --> 00:09:18,031
Well, not entirely.

126
00:09:18,031 --> 00:09:19,503
Lakewell feared for his life.

127
00:09:19,503 --> 00:09:21,615
In transit, he agreed to
reveal some of what he knew,

128
00:09:21,615 --> 00:09:23,855
knowing it could never be
attributed to him in court.

The case Gail Vella was
<font color="

130
00:09:26,479 --> 00:09:29,295
was the murder of
Lawrence Christopher.

131

That was, what, 20 years ago?17.

132

Is that what your text was about?

No, something else.

134
00:09:37,487 --> 00:09:39,919
I carried out an unlawful search.

135
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:45,807
You'll understand why.

136
00:09:45,807 --> 00:09:48,623
<font color="
private residential property,

137
00:09:48,623 --> 00:09:49,967
part of a much larger sum,

138
00:09:49,967 --> 00:09:54,132
easily tens of thousands of pounds.

139
00:09:54,132 --> 00:09:57,583
And this property?

142
00:10:01,423 --> 00:10:03,252

Forensic analysis

the banknote comes from the same
batch as £50,000 found last year

The 50 grand the Gaffer

At the time, there was an allegation

the true amount had

152
00:10:24,372 --> 00:10:27,023

345

enabling her to take
control of the crime scene.

346
00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:46,332

she played it that way,

00:25:00,252 --> 00:25:02,671
White Rock Park.

354
00:25:02,671 --> 00:25:05,423
The suspects entered
the factory unit.

355
00:25:05,423 --> 00:25:07,471
AFOs were deployed on my order

356
00:25:07,471 --> 00:25:10,223
and, unfortunately, the
suspects failed to surrender.

357
00:25:10,223 --> 00:25:11,951
They were both
pronounced dead on arrival

358
00:25:11,951 --> 00:25:14,703
at City General Hospital, 15:27.

359
00:25:14,703 --> 00:25:16,303
Fingerprints taken from their bodies

360
00:25:16,303 --> 00:25:18,863
match Lewis Polkard
and Darren Morgan,

361
00:25:18,863 --> 00:25:20,335
both known violent criminals

362
00:25:20,335 --> 00:25:23,215
with longstanding links
to organised crime.

363
00:25:23,215 --> 00:25:25,967
But we got there before they
could destroy any evidence, right?

364
00:25:25,967 --> 00:25:27,311
Yes, sir.

365
00:25:27,311 --> 00:25:29,532
So what about Ryan Pilkington?

366
00:25:29,532 --> 00:25:31,023
At site one, Chloe and her team

367
00:25:31,023 --> 00:25:33,199
captured images of
PC Ryan Pilkington

368
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:34,863
producing a concealed burner phone

369
00:25:34,863 --> 00:25:37,487
and appearing to make
a call at 14:24 today.

370
00:25:37,487 --> 00:25:39,983
A burner phone was recovered
from the body of Lewis Polkard,

371
00:25:39,983 --> 00:25:42,735
which showed a received
call at 14:24 today.

372
00:25:42,735 --> 00:25:44,532
Now, we believe
Pilkington tipped them off,

373
00:25:44,532 --> 00:25:46,212
but, obviously, we
can't close the loop

374
00:25:46,212 --> 00:25:48,012
without recovering
Pilkington's phone.

375
00:25:48,012 --> 00:25:50,292
Sir, the surveillance team
have obs on Ryan Pilkington.

376
00:25:50,292 --> 00:25:53,103
<font color="
bring him in.Great work, Chloe.

377
00:25:53,103 --> 00:25:55,572
Could you just give us a
moment, Chloe? Thanks.

378
00:25:55,572 --> 00:26:02,895
Of course, sir.

379
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:05,903
Let's look at the big picture here.

380
00:26:05,903 --> 00:26:09,167
Ryan Pilkington has been
groomed since childhood

381
00:26:09,167 --> 00:26:11,087
<font color="

382
00:26:11,087 --> 00:26:14,095
exactly the same
history as Dot Cottan.

383
00:26:14,095 --> 00:26:16,847
Now, Pilkington has
inside information,

384
00:26:16,847 --> 00:26:18,767
you can be sure of that.

385
00:26:18,767 --> 00:26:22,159
But I can guarantee you,
if we bring him in now,

386
00:26:22,159 --> 00:26:24,143
he will say nothing

387
00:26:24,143 --> 00:26:29,652
<font color="
when we should've landed a mackerel.

388
00:26:29,652 --> 00:26:32,463
Sir, Ryan Pilkington's
embedded within MIT.

389
00:26:32,463 --> 00:26:34,812
He's in a position to
sabotage ongoing operations

390
00:26:34,812 --> 00:26:37,711
and, in my view, he's a danger to
other officers, not least Kate.

391
00:26:37,711 --> 00:26:39,612
I know, listen,
he should be arrested.

392
00:26:39,612 --> 00:26:42,063
Of course, he should be
<font color="

393
00:26:42,063 --> 00:26:45,071
and the key thrown away,
but he is the new Caddy

394
00:26:45,071 --> 00:26:49,871
and I can guarantee you he
did not join MIT by accident.

395
00:26:49,871 --> 00:26:52,367
The Fourth Man put him there.

396
00:26:52,367 --> 00:26:55,695
Now, we are so close, so close.

397
00:26:55,695 --> 00:26:59,892
And that is why we're going to keep
<font color="

398
00:26:59,892 --> 00:27:02,172
and he will lead us to the big fish.

399
00:27:02,172 --> 00:27:06,852
Do I make myself clear?

400
00:27:06,852 --> 00:27:09,583
Sir.

401
00:27:09,583 --> 00:27:11,695
Sir.

402
00:27:11,695 --> 00:27:18,612
Now we're sucking diesel.

403
00:27:18,612 --> 00:27:20,783
I thought the gaffer was the
one wanting to pull him in

404
00:27:20,783 --> 00:27:22,831
and you talked him out of it?

405
00:27:22,831 --> 00:27:49,332
Looks like he's changed his mind.

406
00:27:49,332 --> 00:27:52,212
As you all know, the Gail Vella
<font color="

407
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:55,535
However, the cartridge and bullet
were recovered at the crime scene.

408
00:27:55,535 --> 00:27:57,372
NABIS concluded
the cartridge and bullet

409
00:27:57,372 --> 00:28:00,463
were tailored ammunition
for a workshopped firearm.

410
00:28:00,463 --> 00:28:02,895
The White Rock unit is
<font color="

411
00:28:02,895 --> 00:28:04,495
required for this process.

412
00:28:04,495 --> 00:28:06,132
Excellent.

413
00:28:06,132 --> 00:28:09,743
This is clearly a location
closely linked to OCG activity.

414
00:28:09,743 --> 00:28:13,007
It needs to be thoroughly
examined for fingerprints and DNA

415
00:28:13,007 --> 00:28:15,252
that might match Carl
<font color="

416
00:28:15,252 --> 00:28:18,063
or any accomplices in
Gail Vella's murder.

417
00:28:18,063 --> 00:28:20,175
We've never been closer
to finding who killed Gail

418
00:28:20,175 --> 00:28:22,159
and who plotted her murder.

419
00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:24,335
Well done, everyone, get to it.

420
00:28:24,335 --> 00:28:34,575
Boss.Boss.

421
00:28:34,575 --> 00:28:37,967
<font color="
Lakewell revealed to DI Arnott

422
00:28:37,967 --> 00:28:42,492
that Gail Vella was investigating
the murder of Lawrence Christopher.

423
00:28:42,492 --> 00:28:46,223
In April 2003, Lawrence
Christopher was attacked

424
00:28:46,223 --> 00:28:50,575
outside Edge Park Railway Station
by a gang of white youths.

425
00:28:50,575 --> 00:28:53,327
<font color="
Christopher wandering nearby

426
00:28:53,327 --> 00:28:56,783
in a confused state
and called triple nine.

427
00:28:56,783 --> 00:28:59,535
Officers found Christopher
to be uncooperative

428
00:28:59,535 --> 00:29:03,612
and took him into custody,
where he died later that night.

429
00:29:03,612 --> 00:29:07,092
Custody suite video shows
<font color="

430
00:29:07,092 --> 00:29:09,492
while he lay
unresponsive in his cell.

431
00:29:09,492 --> 00:29:12,372
A disgrace to the uniform,
every single one of them.

432
00:29:12,372 --> 00:29:18,415
The postmortem detected
an undiagnosed skull fracture.

433
00:29:18,415 --> 00:29:21,935
The wound on Christopher's head
<font color="

434
00:29:21,935 --> 00:29:25,135
suggesting he'd been struck
by a piece of lead piping.

435
00:29:25,135 --> 00:29:29,807
The initial police inquiry concluded
that the attack was gang-related.

436
00:29:29,807 --> 00:29:33,071
Following protests from
Christopher's family,

437
00:29:33,071 --> 00:29:35,375
the inquiry team eventually accepted

438
00:29:35,375 --> 00:29:38,319
<font color="
no gang connections.

439
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:40,367
In fact, Lawrence Christopher
was an architect

440
00:29:40,367 --> 00:29:42,415
who'd never been in
trouble with the law.

441
00:29:42,415 --> 00:29:45,252
By the time officers
redirected the case,

442
00:29:45,252 --> 00:29:47,292
already two weeks had passed by.

443
00:29:47,292 --> 00:29:50,095
<font color="
received a number of tip-offs

444
00:29:50,095 --> 00:29:52,335
naming a small group of white youths

445
00:29:52,335 --> 00:29:55,092
with a history of racially
aggravated violence.

446
00:29:55,092 --> 00:29:57,263
Despite this, witnesses
weren't interviewed

447
00:29:57,263 --> 00:29:58,692
for at least another week.

448
00:29:58,692 --> 00:30:00,207
<font color="

449
00:30:00,207 --> 00:30:04,303
forensic evidence from the
suspects homes was never secured.

450
00:30:04,303 --> 00:30:07,055
The SIO at the time
claimed he wasn't aware

451
00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:11,535
it was lawful to arrest the suspects
purely on suspicion of the crime.

452
00:30:11,535 --> 00:30:13,092
Astonishing.

453
00:30:13,092 --> 00:30:15,055
<font color="

454
00:30:15,055 --> 00:30:16,975
Who was the SIO?

455
00:30:16,975 --> 00:30:22,607
Detective Chief Inspector
Marcus Thurwell.

456
00:30:22,607 --> 00:30:26,575
As a result of the failure to
secure any forensic evidence,

457
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:30,492
the case against the
suspects was extremely flimsy.

458
00:30:30,492 --> 00:30:33,999
An identification parade took
<font color="

459
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:35,855
Christopher's murder.

460
00:30:35,855 --> 00:30:41,295
By this time, all suspects had
shaved and had short hair cuts.

461
00:30:41,295 --> 00:30:44,559
Witnesses were unable to
provide a positive ID.

462
00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:46,991
All five suspects were
released without charge

463
00:30:46,991 --> 00:30:49,615
<font color="

464
00:30:49,615 --> 00:30:51,855
Family and friends of
Lawrence Christopher

465
00:30:51,855 --> 00:30:55,119
successfully campaigned for an
inquiry into police failings.

466
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:57,743
The subsequent
report released in 2005

467
00:30:57,743 --> 00:31:00,175
concluded that procedural errors

468
00:31:00,175 --> 00:31:02,927
had occurred due to
<font color="

469
00:31:02,927 --> 00:31:06,492
and the assumption that he was
an active participant in crime

470
00:31:06,492 --> 00:31:09,972
rather than an innocent victim.

471
00:31:09,972 --> 00:31:14,447
It's a shameful episode,
and no mistake, but I really...

472
00:31:14,447 --> 00:31:17,775
..I don't see how it could
lead to Gail Vella's murder.

473
00:31:17,775 --> 00:31:19,695
We'll keep digging, sir.

474
00:31:19,695 --> 00:31:24,012
<font color="

475
00:31:24,012 --> 00:31:31,692
Carry on, you two.

476
00:31:31,692 --> 00:31:37,359
DOOR CLOSES

477
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:39,855
Sorry you had to dredge all that up.

478
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:42,671
You OK?

479
00:31:42,671 --> 00:31:46,255
The custody officers were laughing
and

480
00:31:46,255 --> 00:31:50,351
making monkey noises while
Christopher lay dying.

481
00:31:50,351 --> 00:31:52,812
They were all cleared of misconduct,

482
00:31:52,812 --> 00:31:55,452
<font color="

483
00:31:55,452 --> 00:31:58,095
and claimed tens of
thousands in compensation

484
00:31:58,095 --> 00:32:00,911
on top of their pension.

485
00:32:00,911 --> 00:32:03,855
SHE SCOFFS

486
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:37,092
How could anyone be OK?

487
00:32:37,092 --> 00:32:42,383
Chloe.

488
00:32:42,383 --> 00:32:44,367
Marcus Thurwell's name
came up in connection

489
00:32:44,367 --> 00:32:45,852
with Sands View Boys' Home.

490
00:32:45,852 --> 00:32:47,375
It was before your time.

491
00:32:47,375 --> 00:32:50,575
Child Sexual Exploitation
involving Councillor Dale Roach,

492
00:32:50,575 --> 00:32:54,372
Chief Superintendent
Patrick Fairbank and others.

493
00:32:54,372 --> 00:32:56,892
Gail Vella interviewed
the PCC about this.

494
00:32:56,892 --> 00:32:59,292
She wanted to know why there
hadn't been a public inquiry.

495
00:32:59,292 --> 00:33:00,623
That's the one.

496
00:33:00,623 --> 00:33:02,479
A social worker named
Oliver Stephens-Lloyd

497
00:33:02,479 --> 00:33:04,719
tried to report the abuse.

498
00:33:04,719 --> 00:33:08,367
He was found dead in 1998 at the
same location, where, more recently,

499
00:33:08,367 --> 00:33:11,055
we found the bodies of
ACC Hilton and Maneet Bindra.

500
00:33:11,055 --> 00:33:13,423
Despite strong forensic
evidence of murder,

501
00:33:13,423 --> 00:33:15,663
Stephens-Lloyd's death was
written off as suicide.

502
00:33:15,663 --> 00:33:19,375
The SIO was Marcus Thurwell.

503
00:33:19,375 --> 00:33:22,575
So you've investigated
Thurwell before?

504
00:33:22,575 --> 00:33:24,943
By the time of our inquiry in 2015,

505
00:33:24,943 --> 00:33:29,103
Thurwell had taken early retirement,
believed to be living in Spain.

506
00:33:29,103 --> 00:33:34,159
The Spanish authorities were able to
capture a surveillance image for us.

507
00:33:34,159 --> 00:33:36,207
Then Thurwell vanished again.

508
00:33:36,207 --> 00:33:38,703
And anyway our inquiry had
convicted the prime suspect,

509
00:33:38,703 --> 00:33:41,172
Chief Superintendent
Patrick Fairbank,

510
00:33:41,172 --> 00:33:44,892
the senior officer most closely
linked to child sexual exploitation.

511
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:47,172
Sir, I wonder if
Gail discovered the link

512
00:33:47,172 --> 00:33:49,692
between Thurwell and the
Lawrence Christopher case.

513
00:33:49,692 --> 00:33:52,463
Maybe she was
interested in Fairbank, too.

514
00:33:52,463 --> 00:34:05,455
Find out.Sir.

515
00:34:05,455 --> 00:34:24,207

Steve Arnott claimed AC-12
happened to be at White Rock

because they were

520

Yeah.

00:35:01,391 --> 00:35:03,567
It's best if you request a transfer.

528
00:35:03,567 --> 00:35:07,812
I'm sure AC-12 would take you back.

529
00:35:07,812 --> 00:35:11,292
You've been distant with me
for days. Is this personal?

530
00:35:11,292 --> 00:35:13,103
I'm your senior officer,

531
00:35:13,103 --> 00:35:14,703
I should be distant.

532
00:35:14,703 --> 00:35:18,799
I thought we were friends.
<font color="

533
00:35:18,799 --> 00:35:20,532
So you can tell AC-12?

534
00:35:20,532 --> 00:35:22,703
No. I wouldn't tell
them personal stuff.

535
00:35:22,703 --> 00:35:25,092
And, as for requesting a transfer,
I respectfully decline.

536
00:35:25,092 --> 00:35:39,492
I'm not leaving.

537
00:35:39,492 --> 00:35:41,583
Sir.Yeah?

538
00:35:41,583 --> 00:35:44,015
Patrick Fairbank was moved to
<font color="

539
00:35:44,015 --> 00:35:47,215
in 2016 due to declining health.

540
00:35:47,215 --> 00:35:50,892
Gail Vella made a request
to interview him last year.

541
00:35:50,892 --> 00:35:53,231
It was set for September 11th
but never took place,

542
00:35:53,231 --> 00:35:56,815
as she was murdered
the night before.

543
00:35:56,815 --> 00:36:07,932
Call them, set up an interview.<font color="

544
00:36:07,932 --> 00:36:11,215
DI Arnott, DC Bishop, AC-12.

545
00:36:11,215 --> 00:36:24,975
Go ahead, sir.

546
00:36:24,975 --> 00:36:29,711
I know where I'm going!

547
00:36:29,711 --> 00:36:32,532
See?!

548
00:36:32,532 --> 00:36:34,639
I told you!

549
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:40,932
We'll shout if we need you.

550
00:36:40,932 --> 00:36:43,343
Chief Superintendent Fairbank.

551
00:36:43,343 --> 00:36:47,823
DI Steve Arnott.

552
00:36:47,823 --> 00:36:51,732
I was a DS when you last saw me.

553
00:36:51,732 --> 00:36:56,463
I don't mean to be rude,
I get very...

554
00:36:56,463 --> 00:36:59,727
<font color="
We've got some questions.

555
00:36:59,727 --> 00:37:02,543
OK.

556
00:37:02,543 --> 00:37:09,647
We're interested in one of your
former officers, Marcus Thurwell.

557
00:37:09,647 --> 00:37:11,892
Right.

558
00:37:11,892 --> 00:37:14,532
He worked under you
on the Sands View case.

559
00:37:14,532 --> 00:37:21,743
He was a DI back then.

560
00:37:21,743 --> 00:37:26,415
Here's Thurwell
after he became a DCI.

561
00:37:26,415 --> 00:37:29,103
You recognise him now?

562
00:37:29,103 --> 00:37:31,215
I should know the face...

563
00:37:31,215 --> 00:37:34,095
..I'm sorry...

564
00:37:34,095 --> 00:37:36,372
Well, our current inquiries
have linked Thurwell

565
00:37:36,372 --> 00:37:39,983
to the Lawrence
Christopher murder case.

566
00:37:39,983 --> 00:37:41,263
Who?

567
00:37:41,263 --> 00:37:45,492
Lawrence Christopher.

568
00:37:45,492 --> 00:37:46,895
Sorry.

569
00:37:46,895 --> 00:37:50,415
What about Gail Vella?

570
00:37:50,415 --> 00:37:51,972
Who is she again?

571
00:37:51,972 --> 00:37:53,772
Gail Vella.

572
00:37:53,772 --> 00:37:55,599
She was a journalist.

573
00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:59,375
She was investigating the
Sands View scandal.Sands View!

574
00:37:59,375 --> 00:38:03,732
Boys in care abused by Dale Roach
and his cronies, including you!

575
00:38:03,732 --> 00:38:06,372
There were complaints to police,

576
00:38:06,372 --> 00:38:08,015
but you made sure they went nowhere,

577
00:38:08,015 --> 00:38:18,383
so those kids just
carried on suffering!Sir...

578
00:38:18,383 --> 00:38:21,012
Sir...

579
00:38:21,012 --> 00:38:38,735
Get the prison officer.Sir.

580
00:38:38,735 --> 00:38:42,447
I'm sorry about that, Chloe, just...

581
00:38:42,447 --> 00:38:46,607
..you want him to remember what
he did, to acknowledge his crimes.

582
00:38:46,607 --> 00:38:48,372
Yeah.

583
00:38:48,372 --> 00:38:50,652
<font color="

584
00:38:50,652 --> 00:38:53,327
I'm sorry that he wasn't more help.

585
00:38:53,327 --> 00:38:56,532
I'll keep digging.

586
00:38:56,532 --> 00:40:50,383
Thank you.

587
00:40:50,383 --> 00:40:56,463
Sorry, boss, I know it's a
bit late.No, what you got?

588
00:40:56,463 --> 00:40:59,791
I've been looking into all
of Gail Vella's prison visits.

589
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:02,095
Before seeking an interview
<font color="

590
00:41:02,095 --> 00:41:03,503
she went to Blackthorn.

591
00:41:03,503 --> 00:41:05,231
Yeah, we know.
She talked to Jimmy Lakewell.

592
00:41:05,231 --> 00:41:06,895
That was always over the phone.

593
00:41:06,895 --> 00:41:09,391
She requested face-to-face
interviews

594
00:41:09,391 --> 00:41:12,852
with a number of inmates -
Manish Prasad, Hari Bains.

595
00:41:12,852 --> 00:41:15,791
She did the same at
<font color="

596
00:41:15,791 --> 00:41:18,543
Tina Tranter and Jane Cafferty.

597
00:41:18,543 --> 00:41:21,743
Makes sense, all officers with past
links to organised corruption.

598
00:41:21,743 --> 00:41:23,772
She even put in a request
to Witness Protection

599
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:26,863
to interview Gill Biggeloe
and Lisa McQueen.

600
00:41:26,863 --> 00:41:29,487
It was still going through the
<font color="

601
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:32,623
Only one person agreed to
be interviewed by Gail -

602
00:41:32,623 --> 00:41:34,159
Lee Banks,

603
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:36,975
Carl Banks' brother.

604
00:41:36,975 --> 00:41:43,119
Lee Banks agreed to talk?

605
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:48,372
This was two weeks before we
believe Carl Banks murdered Gail.

606
00:41:48,372 --> 00:41:55,983
Christ.

607
00:41:55,983 --> 00:41:59,823
Lee Banks, DI Steve Arnott, AC-12.

608
00:41:59,823 --> 00:42:03,919
<font color="

609
00:42:03,919 --> 00:42:06,671
Did you think I'd forget?

610
00:42:06,671 --> 00:42:09,103
I'm looking into the
murder of Gail Vella.

611
00:42:09,103 --> 00:42:11,772
Your brother Carl
is our prime suspect.

612
00:42:11,772 --> 00:42:13,583
Of course he is,

613
00:42:13,583 --> 00:42:15,612
blame the dead guy.

614
00:42:15,612 --> 00:42:17,052
You do not have to say anything,

615
00:42:17,052 --> 00:42:19,692
but it may harm your defence if
you don't mention when questioned

616
00:42:19,692 --> 00:42:21,492
something you later
rely on in court.

617
00:42:21,492 --> 00:42:24,252
Anything you do say
may be used in evidence.

618
00:42:24,252 --> 00:42:27,407
Now, we know Gail Vella attempted
to interview a number of individuals

619
00:42:27,407 --> 00:42:29,412
in relation to organised corruption.

620
00:42:29,412 --> 00:42:33,103
You agreed to be interviewed
on the 26th of August, 2019.

621
00:42:33,103 --> 00:42:36,252
15 days later, Gail Vella
was found murdered.

622
00:42:36,252 --> 00:42:38,095
And?

623
00:42:38,095 --> 00:42:42,383
So you learned Gail Vella was
talking to people about OCG crimes.

624
00:42:42,383 --> 00:42:45,647
You took responsibility for
drawing out of her what she knew.

625
00:42:45,647 --> 00:42:49,423
You shared the information with
Carl, who passed it up the chain.

626
00:42:49,423 --> 00:42:55,119
The top man, or woman, gave
Carl the order to silence Gail.

627
00:42:55,119 --> 00:42:58,383
How's that for a theory?

628
00:42:58,383 --> 00:43:00,175
Can't help you.

629
00:43:00,175 --> 00:43:02,292
The only problem was
your brother couldn't help

630
00:43:02,292 --> 00:43:07,407
shouting his mouth off about it all.
 There's no way Carl was a rat!

631
00:43:07,407 --> 00:43:08,431
We're done here, mate.

632
00:43:08,431 --> 00:43:10,863
Lee, you're protecting the
people who killed your brother.

633
00:43:10,863 --> 00:43:14,292
You want to talk about rats?
Ask your boss.

634
00:43:14,292 --> 00:43:17,172
Superintendent Hastings?
You've lost me.

635
00:43:17,172 --> 00:43:19,375
Well, he told me there
was a rat in our crew

636
00:43:19,375 --> 00:43:23,292
and that rat turned out to
be an undercover copper,

637
00:43:23,292 --> 00:43:26,652
John Corbett.

638
00:43:26,652 --> 00:44:05,327
So have that.

639
00:44:05,327 --> 00:44:08,463
PHONE RINGS

640
00:44:08,463 --> 00:44:11,599
All right?

641
00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:13,839
Kate, sorry, I...

642
00:44:13,839 --> 00:44:16,591
..I probably shouldn't bother you,

643
00:44:16,591 --> 00:44:18,255
but I didn't know who else to call.

644
00:44:18,255 --> 00:44:21,583
<font color="

645
00:44:21,583 --> 00:44:23,951
I think I've found the real
reason the gaffer gave

646
00:44:23,951 --> 00:44:26,652
50 grand to Steph Corbett.

647
00:44:26,652 --> 00:44:31,695
Go on, I'm listening.

648
00:44:31,695 --> 00:44:43,279
Steve?

649
00:44:43,279 --> 00:44:46,332
Kate.

650
00:44:46,332 --> 00:44:49,743
I want to address the
personal issues we discussed.

651
00:44:49,743 --> 00:44:53,412
I think it's best to do that
outside of a work setting.

652
00:44:53,412 --> 00:44:56,892
<font color="

653
00:44:56,892 --> 00:44:59,772
I'll let you know the details later.

654
00:44:59,772 --> 00:45:31,663
Thanks, Jo.

655
00:45:31,663 --> 00:45:35,772
SHE EXHALES DEEPLY

656
00:45:35,772 --> 00:45:48,047
SHE SNIFFLES

657
00:45:48,047 --> 00:45:59,892
SHE SOBS

658
00:45:59,892 --> 00:46:02,412
The gang accused of killing
Lawrence Christopher

659
00:46:02,412 --> 00:46:06,252
were granted anonymity, but I've
uncovered old witness statements

660
00:46:06,252 --> 00:46:10,063
that consistently
<font color="

661
00:46:10,063 --> 00:46:15,252
One of these suspects
was Darren Hunter.

662
00:46:15,252 --> 00:46:22,095
Darren Hunter was
Tommy Hunter's son.

663
00:46:22,095 --> 00:46:26,063
Which raises the distinct
possibility that Tommy Hunter

664
00:46:26,063 --> 00:46:27,855
ordered Marcus Thurwell to sabotage

665
00:46:27,855 --> 00:46:31,332
the Lawrence Christopher murder
<font color="

666
00:46:31,332 --> 00:46:33,972
Sir, I've got no problem
believing Tommy Hunter

667
00:46:33,972 --> 00:46:36,012
manipulated corrupt
officers back in 2003,

668
00:46:36,012 --> 00:46:38,735
but, by the time of Gail Vella's
murder, Tommy was long dead

669
00:46:38,735 --> 00:46:42,612
and his son, Darren, I mean,
he seems too much like a small fry.

670
00:46:42,612 --> 00:46:45,775
So, what are you thinking, son?

671
00:46:45,775 --> 00:46:47,892
I think Gail Vella could
only have been murdered

672
00:46:47,892 --> 00:46:49,615
to protect someone
involved in the original

673
00:46:49,615 --> 00:46:51,151
Lawrence Christopher inquiry,

674
00:46:51,151 --> 00:46:53,007
which means that officer still
wields

675
00:46:53,007 --> 00:46:54,863
a high level of influence
over the OCG.

676
00:46:54,863 --> 00:46:57,372
He's still important enough
to warrant the fallout

677
00:46:57,372 --> 00:47:00,012
from killing someone
as high-profile as Gail Vella.

678
00:47:00,012 --> 00:47:02,052
Thurwell.

679
00:47:02,052 --> 00:47:03,631
Sorry, sir, um,

680
00:47:03,631 --> 00:47:05,487
I don't know if this is relevant,

681
00:47:05,487 --> 00:47:08,559
but I've been looking into other
members of Thurwell's team,

682
00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:10,351
<font color="

683
00:47:10,351 --> 00:47:17,263
in the Lawrence Christopher
murder inquiry.Yeah.

684
00:47:17,263 --> 00:47:26,223
Detective Constable Ian Buckells.

685
00:47:26,223 --> 00:47:31,343
Inspector Philip Osborne.

686
00:47:31,343 --> 00:47:33,903
Obviously, Osborne's now...

687
00:47:33,903 --> 00:47:37,935
It isn't only Thurwell who
benefits from Gail Vella's murder,

688
00:47:37,935 --> 00:47:41,412
so do Buckells and
the Chief Constable.

689
00:47:41,412 --> 00:47:44,172
It could've been any one
of them who gave the order.

690
00:47:44,172 --> 00:47:45,871
Mother of God.

691
00:47:45,871 --> 00:47:59,055
FAINT:Could all officers and staff
please report to the unit office?

Thank you.

693
00:48:00,911 --> 00:48:03,023
One or two familiar faces.

One or two conspicuous
by their absence.

have a moment in your office.

703
00:48:33,999 --> 00:48:39,759
As you were.

704
00:48:39,759 --> 00:48:41,772
I take it you've been informed about

705
00:48:41,772 --> 00:48:43,727
the restructuring of
anti-corruption.

706
00:48:43,727 --> 00:48:45,135
Yes.

707
00:48:45,135 --> 00:48:46,479
<font color="

708
00:48:46,479 --> 00:48:50,063
so I would thank you for
your discretion, ma'am.

709
00:48:50,063 --> 00:48:52,367
Well, they'll figure
it out soon enough.

710
00:48:52,367 --> 00:48:54,543
This is a kick in the teeth.

711
00:48:54,543 --> 00:48:56,172
My team are the best
in the business.

712
00:48:56,172 --> 00:48:58,212
Really?

713
00:48:58,212 --> 00:48:59,599
Hm.

714
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:01,455
<font color="

715
00:49:01,455 --> 00:49:03,183
Detective Superintendent Ian
Buckells.

716
00:49:03,183 --> 00:49:05,743
The only evidence you have
are files that you recovered

717
00:49:05,743 --> 00:49:09,263
from the boot of his car, none
of which bear his prints or DNA.

718
00:49:09,263 --> 00:49:13,615
Buckells' Solicitor has lodged
<font color="

719
00:49:13,615 --> 00:49:15,855
Where's the courage of
our convictions, ma'am?

720
00:49:15,855 --> 00:49:20,292
We have a very strong case against
Buckells, a very strong case.

721
00:49:20,292 --> 00:49:23,215
Watertight?
No, not watertight, but...

722
00:49:23,215 --> 00:49:25,647
Therefore, I've recommended
<font color="

723
00:49:25,647 --> 00:49:28,092
that proceedings against
Ian Buckells are dropped,

724
00:49:28,092 --> 00:49:32,431
so as to avoid the humiliation
of a cracked trial.

725
00:49:32,431 --> 00:49:36,015
Ma'am, you are
undermining AC-12's work.

726
00:49:36,015 --> 00:49:37,615
We have just pulled off

727
00:49:37,615 --> 00:49:41,292
a major, highly successful
<font color="

728
00:49:41,292 --> 00:49:43,932
that has stretched our
manpower to the limit

729
00:49:43,932 --> 00:49:45,852
and that is all
going to go for a burton

730
00:49:45,852 --> 00:49:49,212
the second that the Chief
Constable starts swinging his axe.

731
00:49:49,212 --> 00:49:51,132
Yes, since you've
raised surveillance,

732
00:49:51,132 --> 00:49:54,383
<font color="
Intrusive Surveillance on MIT's SIO.

733
00:49:54,383 --> 00:49:56,687
Yes, because we've learned
she has long-standing links

734
00:49:56,687 --> 00:49:58,095
to organised crime.

735
00:49:58,095 --> 00:50:00,335
Meanwhile, you're also
maintaining surveillance

736
00:50:00,335 --> 00:50:02,772
on a probationary constable -
<font color="

737
00:50:02,772 --> 00:50:05,652
I'm sure surveillance of Pilkington
will lead to bigger fish,

738
00:50:05,652 --> 00:50:07,247
I'm sure of it.

739
00:50:07,247 --> 00:50:10,575
Meanwhile, you're also maintaining
surveillance on Terry Boyle,

740
00:50:10,575 --> 00:50:13,135
the prime suspect in
the Gail Vella murder.

741
00:50:13,135 --> 00:50:15,183
<font color="

742
00:50:15,183 --> 00:50:17,743
What needs protecting is
the anti-corruption budget,

743
00:50:17,743 --> 00:50:19,855
which you're going through
like there's no tomorrow,

744
00:50:19,855 --> 00:50:21,492
which in your case
does actually apply.

745
00:50:21,492 --> 00:50:26,895
It takes 24 officers to maintain
<font color="

746
00:50:26,895 --> 00:50:30,252
There'll be no money left
by the time I assume command.

747
00:50:30,252 --> 00:50:32,783
And so, for that reason,
and the Chief Constable agrees,

748
00:50:32,783 --> 00:50:35,215
I shouldn't start cold next month.

749
00:50:35,215 --> 00:50:40,143
Pending a budget review
by the Chief Constable and me...

750
00:50:40,143 --> 00:50:42,703
<font color="
short while ago for all

751
00:50:42,703 --> 00:50:45,775
AC-12 surveillance operations
to be suspended immediately.

752
00:50:45,775 --> 00:50:47,892
Ma'am, I must protest.

753
00:50:47,892 --> 00:50:49,812
I have officers in the field.

754
00:50:49,812 --> 00:50:53,412
We are so close to breaking
open Operation Lighthouse

00:50:53,412 --> 00:50:56,847

murder!

FAINT:Which is to be commended,

757
00:50:58,831 --> 00:51:04,335
but I do need to inherit a
department that's fit for purpose.

00:51:04,335 --> 00:51:07,092
What's going on?

759
00:51:07,092 --> 00:51:14,063
Nothing good.

Kate.

773
00:53:12,527 --> 00:53:14,703
Steve, I just wondered
if the surveillance team

774
00:53:14,703 --> 00:53:18,012
had reported anything
suspicious on Jo's obs?

775
00:53:18,012 --> 00:53:19,823
Surveillance just got pulled.

What? Why?

777
00:53:21,679 --> 00:53:23,919
AC-12's being cut back and merged.

Carmichael's taking command.

00:53:25,519 --> 00:53:27,972
It's on the Chief Constable's
orders and we just learned

780
00:53:27,972 --> 00:53:30,255
he could've been a beneficiary
of Gail Vella's murder.

Jesus Christ. Listen, Steve, I'm
going to forward you an address.

Jo wanted to give you a way out.

Should've put in for that transfer.

You've got the bottle if
somebody's already half-drowned.

Put the gun down, stop trying to act
like a big man. You're a little boy.

Try asking John Corbett.

00:55:56,052 --> 00:56:02,703

there's going to be blood and
gunshot powder all over you,

plus the cartridge and
bullet could go anywhere,

you're never going to find it.

Don't need to.

818
00:56:12,047 --> 00:56:14,863
It's a workshopped gun,
tailored ammunition.

819
00:56:14,863 --> 00:56:15,972
It's untraceable.

Right, you've thought of

AC-12 were watching the workshop.

They saw you make
the call to the OCG.

They've been tracking you both.
